I hated her body but loved the head. The body is a weird cross between NuFace & FR only shorter and a little crude. As luck would have it, she arrived with a severely cracked neck and the head actually fell off while taking her out of the box! Since I hated the body on sight, I quickly grabbed my spare NuFace body. Huge improvement!!
Featuring virtually every time period in Air Force history except for Vietnam, this has to have been one of the best Heritage Flights that I have seen so far.
In the lead is the F-15E Strike Eagle from Seymour-Johnson Air Force Base, in the slot is the F-22A Raptor from Langley Air Force Base. Flying on the right side of the Strike Eagle is Ed Shipley in his beautiful F-86 Sabre. Flying off the left side of the F-15E is Dale "Snort" Snodgrass in the P-51D Mustang "Excalibur."

PIONEERING CONTRIBUTIONS IN ESSENTIAL OILS, PERFUMERY, AROMATIC PLANTS
ESSENTIAL OILS (EO) - have a tremendous bearing on the socioeconomic progress of rural industry and end user industry like aroma chemicals, medicinal, perfumery etc
A.DEVELOPING WORLD CLASS INSTITUTE -
Dr. Atal developed RRL, Jammu as a world class institute in essential oils and one of the premier institutes in India in the field. This was achieved by research, development of technology for its cultivation, propagation, distillation of oil, extraction, Plant breeding activities, development of new varieties etc.
B.INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANCIES –
His services in this area have also been utilized internationally.
1.UN PROJECTS- (UNDP, UNIDO and Vietnam Government), implementing multiple multimillion US dollars UN funded projects.
2.OTHER INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANCIES- Consultant to Burma (Mint), West Indies and many other countries (Serial no 43, mission consultant to world organizations).

6.Prof. P. N. Mehra memorial award 2001, (Botany award for work on plant sciences including aromatic and essential oil plants).
D.COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL NEW VARIETIES DEVELOPED-
By resort to conventional and modern techniques of plant breeding, high quality hybrids species especially of Ocimum and Cymbopogon were developed, notable are the eugenol rich Ocimum hybrid 'Clocimum'(clove scented Tulsi- Oscimum) and geraneol rich Cymbopogon hybrid 'Jamrosa (Jammu equivalent of Palmrosa reputed for its rosaceous odour) which are now commercially cultivated success stories. The studies include biosynthetic studies (geraniol, citral, linalool, in Ocimum spp. and Cymbopogan spp.). Study of inheritance of chemical constituents was carried out for development of improved cultivars of aromatic plants (as a result Jammu lemongrass, Clocimum and Jamrosa are a commercial success). New method of vegetative propagation of Ocimum was developed for the first time in the month of February under certain controlled environment. (First reporting in the science) .In perfumery, he has researched, developed and introduced new varieties like Skimmia laureola. www.agriculturalproductsindia.com/aromatic-plants/aromati... (See para 2) www.agriculturalproductsindia.com/aromatic-plants/aromati... (See para 1) India was importing large amount of eugenol. With the wholly indigenous development of the clocimum at Jammu, the country has become self sufficient in its essential oil Eugenol. Through the production of clocimum, which is comparatively cheaper to clove and cinnamon, the country is able to largely meet its needs for high quality eugenol used in a variety of industries like perfumery, confectionery, medicines and cosmetics.

MINT INDUSTRY - CONTRIBUTIONS IN INDIA- TECHNOLOGICAL AND SOCIOECONOMICAL SUCCESS-
mint used in flavoring and medicinal industry has become one of the single largest aromatic crops of India, and one of the topmost in mint in the world.
A.HISTORY OF PIONEERING CONTRIBUTIONS OF RRL, Jammu - RRL has been the first pioneer in “wonder plant” Japanese mint in India. One of the star contributions of RRL Jammu to the E.O industry is the introduction, acclimatization and development of Japanese mint (M. arvensis) for cultivation particularly in north India The first director of RRL, Jammu and Father of Indian Pharmacology, Col Sir R. N. Chopra (1941-1957), is credited with first introducing high yielding Japanese mint in India around 1957, received as gift from United Nations. He introduced this mint in India in the late fifties, agrotechnology field experiments were conducted by RRL in the sixties at Chatha experimental farm and a serious effort was made in the sixties and seventies by RRL along with others for its mass utilization in India.
B.BOLD CRYSTALS OF MINT- A BOOST TO THE INDUSTRY-Dr. Atal developed turnkey technology for manufacture of bold crystals of mint / mark into boards in India, which was a significant and major boost to the mint technology in India(this was also introduced in Burma in 1981).Bold crystals provided a cutting edge in the competition in mint industry. Introduction of this significant technology combined with serious sustained mass promotion of high yielding Japanese mint in seventies by Dr. Atal and his RRL team along with many other agencies in 1970’s induced a sort of green revolution in mint and successfully boosted Mint industry in India. India became self sufficient in mint in mid 1980’s.
C.OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS-Dr. Atal, as the president of Essential oil association of India - EOAI (1976-79) also promoted EO and mint industry and mint technology in India. He was also invited as CSIR consultant from India to Burma in 1981 to help establish mint industry in Burma by providing turnkey mint technology and after 1985, implemented UN projects internationally including EO. Other Awards and honors in EO are already discussed above.
D.SCENARIO-India is today a major producer of mint. This work was first started in India by RRL in the nineteen sixties, and vigorously promoted in the seventies in India in a new package of cutting edge technology for bold crystals of Mint. As a result of these efforts, Japanese mint is since then successfully grown in India and this industry grew to become “Rs 100 million” industry by the beginning of 1980’s. The Tarai area of UP state alone was a 10 crore per annum industry in the mid eighties. It has further jumped by leaps and bound since then. The country’s major demand of menthol and mint oil is now met from Japanese mint which was introduced by RRL. Today China and India are world leaders in mint after further boosting efforts put in by CIMAP in the nineteen nineties.
126.MENTHA ARVENSIS (JAPANESE MINT)- Around 1960, a dozen suckers of M. arvensis were procured from Japan through UN. After the stock was carefully multiplied and propagated, it was distributed for large scale cultivation in other parts of the country in the seventies and earlier. The entire mentha cultivation in India owes its origin to the suckers introduced by RRL, Jammu. Better strains containing up to 78 % menthol in the oil were also developed. Japanese mint became a Rs 100 million” industry by the beginning of 1980’s and which has never looked back since then.The Essential oil industry of India was greatly benefited by such processes.
127.JAMMU LEMONGRASS- (Cymbopogan pendulus)-a superior source of citral, the oil used in perfumery industry, Pharmaceutical industry and of use as insect repellant.
138.PERFUMERY INDUSTRY- developed and introduced new varieties like Skimmia laureola . Serial no 115, essential oils.
