Psoriatic arthritis often takes a multitherapy approach to treat. One component of that may be light therapy, or phototherapy, which offers an effective and low-risk option for treating mild to moderate psoriasis.

Psoriasis is particularly responsive to a narrow frequency of ultraviolet light, and this so-called “narrow band” light therapy has gradually supplanted older broadband treatment options for psoriasis.

The Food and Drug Administration regulates medical devices used in the application of phototherapy, and limited evidence suggests that joints affected by the disease will respond to treatment targeted to the skin. “You do get a systemic modulation of the immune system. It’s interesting that when you treat the skin, the joints respond,” says Jami Miller, MD, assistant professor of medicine and dermatology, and supervisor of the phototherapy clinic, at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

Just how much the joints respond varies, and it’s important to understand that your medical team may suggest other treatment for your psoriatic arthritis. “This type of arthritis needs to be controlled by drugs — it can be very destructive if it’s not treated aggressively,” says Yusuf Yazici, MD, a rheumatologist at NYU Langone's Center for Musculoskeletal Care in New York City.

Types of UV Light Treatment for Psoriasis

Your doctor may suggest one or more of the following UV phototherapy or combination therapy approaches:

  • Ultraviolet A (UVA) One of the most common options is short bursts of UVA, typically starting at 30 seconds in length and building in duration as a patient adapts to the exposure. A conventional treatment schedule calls for three sessions per week for 4 to 50 sessions, until the psoriasis has cleared. “We typically go for 20 sessions at first,” says Dr. Miller. “If we don’t see anything at all after 20 sessions, we rethink the treatment.”
  • Ultraviolet B (UVB) The Mayo Clinic notes that coal tar treatment makes skin more receptive to light, so some doctors combine UVB and coal tar treatments for a more effective therapy. The combination once required a three-week hospital stay, but a modification can be performed in a doctor's office, according to Mayo.
  • PUVA (psoralen and UVA) For advanced cases of psoriasis, a physician might suggest augmenting UVA treatment with an oral medication called psoralen. Taken shortly before light treatment, psoralen seems to boost the therapeutic effect of light on the immune system. “PUVA is spectacularly effective,” says Miller. Because PUVA can be so powerful, the treatment is rarely used in children.

Cautions About UV Light Therapy

There are many factors to consider if you're thinking of undergoing light therapy:

  • Darker complexions may not respond as well. While phototherapy for psoriasis can be used regardless of your complexion type, light-skinned people typically respond to treatment more quickly than those with darker skin, Miller says.
  • Scheduling can be difficult. The scheduling of phototherapy proves daunting to many prospective patients, Miller says. The biggest deterrent is the hassle of traveling to a treatment site several times a week for a regimen that can extend for months. Another complication is that patients who augment UVA treatment with psoralen must wear protective sunglasses when outdoors for 24 hours afterward to protect their eyes against natutally occurring UVA in sunlight.
  • Light therapy is not as widely available as it used to be. Psoriasis phototherapy is generally less available than it was 10 or 20 years ago, because there are more treatments for psoriasis now and insurance coverage for phototherapy has become less available, Miller says. And it can be expensive: The cost of a single phototherapy session can reach $150, particularly if the treatment is provided in combination with psoralen or another systemic drug.
  • PUVA carries some cancer risk. According to the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF), narrow-band, or low-energy, UVB is effective in treating psoriasis for at least two-thirds of patients. Narrow band UVB is thought to have less skin cancer risk than PUVA, according to the NPF, which recommends that people regularly get their skin examined by their healthcare provider. "The break seems to be at 250 sessions in a lifetime, so we do try to limit it," says Miller.

Insurance Issues With Light Therapy

The National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) has reported that patients have had difficulty getting insurance coverage for light therapy. Lack of insurance coverage, or cost, was one of the top three reasons patients discontinued phototherapy.

That’s not surprising given the typical pattern of phototherapy insurance coverage, says Lawrence Green, MD, associate professor of dermatology at the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC. “Phototherapy in general costs between $60-90 a treatment and you need to go at least twice a week for a few months minimum to achieve clearance of psoriasis,” says Dr. Green. “This quickly gets quite expensive. Even if you have insurance, there are often copays of up to $50 per visit in many plans. And these copays seem to be going up every year!”

Because of the costs and the time commitment involved, undertaking light therapy is a decision that requires a lot of thought. To help you determine whether this therapy makes sense for you, talk over the possible advantages with your medical team.

“It is important to keep multiple therapies in the therapeutic armamentarium as different people respond variably to different treatments,” says Miller.

04. March 2010 · Comments Off on Ten ways to avoid being the next cryonics legal case · Categories: Cryonics · Tags: , , ,

Several of my clients and friends have asked me for observations regarding securing their cryonics arrangements even with contrary wishes of friends and relatives.  Given the recent Mary Robbins case in Colorado, and multiple previous cases available in some detail on the websites of both CI and Alcor, structuring your affairs in the most secure manner currently has top of mind awareness for many who are serious about their cryonics plans.

The purpose of this article is to provide some insight into how serious cryonicists can structure their affairs to assure themselves they have done everything possible regarding funding and legal structures for their optimal suspensions.

For ease of reference, I will number the following points.  There is some attempt to put the most important or easy to handle considerations early in the list.  For simplicity, I will avoid the usual lawerly weasel clauses, except to point out that the following are generally, as opposed to universally, true, and that they apply for United States cryonicists rather than all global citizens.

1.  Fund…and overfund…your suspension with life insurance.  This assumes you are insurable.  Life insurance proceeds go DIRECTLY to your named beneficiary, without taxes or reductions or delays of probate.  More importantly, the funds are created in addition to your estate and do not reduce your estate otherwise going to your heirs.  It is no longer perceived as a “zero sum” game where your heirs are in direct competition for funds vs. the cryonics organization.

I am not aware of a single suspension that was delayed for funding considerations when there was adequate life insurance in place in a verifiable manner.

Not one, in the history of cryonics, which is now extending some 40 years.

In contrast, there have been multiple cases of delay, obstruction, interference, and legal wrangling in cases without adequate and extra life insurance funding.

2.  Have your policy owned…or jointly owned…by the cryonics organization.  This enables the cryonics organization to KNOW at any given time that your policy is in force with no changes to the beneficiaries, and no reduction caused by a loan against the cash value the policy may have. Alcor generally requires this, and CI funding that includes Suspended Animation arrangements also requires cryonics organization ownership.

3.  If you trust your cryonics organization with your life, you want to see them do well.  It therefore makes sense to make them the “CONTINGENT” beneficiary as well as the primary, even if you cannot be suspended. Alternately, you can name any other person or persons, or a charitable organization, as contingent beneficiary.   Naming your cryonics organization as the contingent even if you cannot be suspended is not ideal, in that it reduces financial incentive of your cryonics organization to suspend you.  But it is still probably better than naming family members or someone you are not completely convinced will support your cryonics plans.

The important thing you want to AVOID is creating a structural CONFLICT OF INTEREST in which your family or relatives get the money if they talk you out of your cryonics arrangements.

4.  The question has come up as to whether an alternate beneficiary, or even a primary, needs to know they are in this position.  The answer is that the beneficiaries do NOT need to sign any portion of the application, and won’t even know they are listed as beneficiaries unless you tell them.

5.  For cash–as opposed to life insurance–funding, the optimal secure funding is some form of a GUARANTEED annuity.  The cryonics organization need not be the OWNER of the policy if they are listed as the IRREVOCABLE BENEFICIARY.  Variable annuities, even with underlying income guarantees, will not work because the death benefit and principle are not guaranteed to be there when needed.

Annuities with named beneficiaries also avoid probate, although there can be some taxable considerations, unlike life insurance.  The annuity also must waive surrender penalties upon death, to assure the cryonics organization full funding.

6.  Any alternate funding, such as real estate, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, hard assets, collectibles, is a disaster for you, your cryonics organization, and the entire field of cryonics, waiting to happen.

It astounds me that smart individuals signing up for cryonics do this.  And that any organization deeming itself a serious cryonics alternative, will allow insecure and unverifiable and illiquid funding of this nature.  Do you want to have your family and relatives contesting your cryonics arrangements?  Do you want your cryonics organization to wait over the weekend, or over the holiday, or till the next business day till they confirm your funding?

You are virtually guaranteeing that there is a delay, of hours, days, or weeks, while funding is ascertained, when literally seconds and minutes count, if you fund with these assets.  Call up and ask your cryonics vendor what would happen, and when, given your current funding arrangements.

7.  Be public with your cryonics arrangements.  It is time for serious cryonicists to come “out of the closet.”  Like some courageous gays and atheists have demonstrated, it is time we become “loud and proud” of ourselves and our choices.

8. Make a video of your strong preference for cryonics.  Include verbiage that states your decision is unequivocal and firm, and made when you were of sound mind.  Also specify your wishes that any revocation made later should be ignored if it is made while under pain medication, or while physically or emotionally ill, or under undue influence by outside parties including family and friends.  Have multiple copies made, upload it to the net, provide abundant and clear instructions so that even jackass attorneys and judges can’t fail to get the message.

9.  Moving near your cryonics vendor if you are deathly ill is logical. Alas, it is often not done due to people wanting to be in their homes and with their families when they are dying.  Some progress has been made in developing a community of support near cryonics facilities.  David Pizer and Mark Plus have worked for years to develop a cryonics friendly center near Alcor, and I have heard talk of some shared housing arrangements near the Cryonics Institute.

10.  Talk–have “the talk” with your family and friends, showing them your cryonics bracelet and expressing your wishes.  Get their commitments that they will not undermine your wishes, ideally in writing in a “relatives affidavit” available from your cryonics vendor.

Discuss different scenarios of your “death,” and what protocols and logistics would be involved in providing the optimal suspension to preserve your precious self.  You are worth it!  You deserve to see the future…or at least have some non-zero chance to see the future.  Don’t pay ALMOST enough price to give cryonics a chance…pay the FULL price!

Doing all the above will not guarantee a perfect suspension, and even an “optimal” suspension has no guarantees.

Folks, we are trying to be smart about our life decisions, and our life and death decisions.

You have been smart enough to research cryonics and perhaps sign up for cryonics.  Let’s be smart enough, and display enough common sense, to give ourselves every chance of something like an optimal suspension.

This Is What Is Fishy About the NSA Whistleblower Fiasco-The Carlyle Group

Booz Hamilton employed Edward Snowden, the NSA leaker. It is fishy that Booz Hamilton happens to by owned in the majority by the Carlyle Group.

I did some digging into the Carlyle Group and found quite a bit of public information about them. First, the Carlyle Group is at the heart of the war on terror. They have a relationship with George HW Bush, who has investments with Halliburton in the Caspian Sea.

I wrote on Business Insider that I believed the goal of the Neocons/Oil men was to get a pipeline built to those very investments along with strong support for Israel as a nation.  I had written that I had a theory about Obama's surveillance increases. I believe that Obama is watching the Neocons.

If you add my theory to the known fact of our military's strong opposition to helping Israel and fighting Iran as commissioned in this study, then we have a serious internal battle of Neocons versus the government of the United States.

(Update: This study opposing Israel is not public information. There is a reliance on one CIA operative for the veracity of its existence. I don't know if it really exists. Even if it is proven to be false, it does not change my view that the military of the US is plainly against war with Iran on national interest grounds as shown below.)

This Neocon has called for a false flag against the USA and a blaming of Iran:

The Neocons want to be the rulers of the world, and believe, as Niall Ferguson does, in the expansion of the American Empire. The Neocons would take out Russia in their dreams, and they want to increase a cold war mentality with Russia, which view is directly opposed to the national interest of the United States.

Whether the study exists or not, clearly there has been a purging of Neocon military men from the US government as we see from Veterans Today.

Indeed, the study itself, if it exists, commissioned by the military, viewed Israel as being opposed to the national security interests of the United States. The study concludes that Israel is not salvageable any more than was South Africa before Mandela.

I would hope that would not be the case. As a descendent of Jews but adopted at age 3 months into a Gentile family, I want to see Israel take its place among the nations in a secure, fair and lasting peace. But I fear our military could be right. Zionist policy may not reflect the national security interests of the United States!

So, I was digging around for Carlyle's place in the scheme of things, and found that Carlyle is a war profiteer with a strong connection to the Bush family.

Carlyle may have strong connections to Zionism. If we remember that Zionism is not Judaism we can have a real debate about our national interest in relation to Zionist goals. Zionist goals are closely aligned with Neocon goals of world domination. It is not hard to understand. If you had 6 million people killed in Nazi Germany, you would want to be top dog too.

But, the ends justify any means with these folks. And those means have caused to US government to reconsider if that attempt to be top dog is in the national security interest of the United States.World domination goals with certain nuclear risk is worth reconsidering.

In other words, do we risk war with Russia, war with Iran, oil issues, all to be top dog with our allies, Israel. Or do we seek to fit in with the other nations of the world who do not support the US ambitions or Israel? Is the security of Israel worth it if Israel refuses to bow to the wishes on the part of the US for restraint, and peace with the Palestinians?

Those are the sort of questions that are being asked by the US military. That is something for all of us to ponder.

I am reminded of Larry Eagleburger's interview on Kudlow a few years ago, before he died. He said there would be exchanges of nukes with the Russians. I don't think our military has that Neocon madness or appetite for exchanging nukes with the Russians!

And if you don't think that there is a serious war of ideas taking place, look at how Cavuto on Fox News practically yelled in his fragile voice that the NSA revelations were linked to the IRS scandal in principle!

Now, I want you to know that I am not privy to all the information that the government or the Neocons who oppose our government have on each other. I am puzzled with the response of one of the most rabid Neocons, PNAC founder Bill Kristol, who appears to be taking the president's side on the NSA leak situation.

If my theory of battle between the US government/military versus the Neocons is true, what is Kristol's motive? Is he afraid of political fallout that would happen if the Republicans are viewed as being unpatriotic?

In my view, Kristol has only one motive, to keep Republicans in the political game so that they can win the next presidency and go to war with Iran. The Neocons want world domination, and they have a financial interest in the war on terror, as it is known that Pakistan has oil resources, and the Caspian Sea pipeline is not yet secure.

With the advent of oil shale, this all may be ambition that is totally irrational. But I have never thought that the Neocons were a rational band anyway.

At any rate, the debate should be on. As a descendent of Jews, I am America first. I live here, not in Israel. America has a responsibility as the power in the world to temper that power with reason and rationality.

With Russia sending an aircraft carrier into the Mediterranean Sea to protect her interests, it is worth noting that the US has not commented. Truth is, Israel is not a central part of the US national interest at this point, and is opposed to the current national interest of this nation.The US has carriers in the Red Sea and that is in the US national interest.

That Russian aircraft carrier is serious business. It is time for Israel to change and change fast. It is time for Israel to join the family of nations because what will the US do if there is a military exchange between that aircraft carrier and the nation of Israel? At this point it would seem that the US may do nothing.

The people of the US are weary of foreign entanglements.

Richard Haas, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, opposes foreign entanglements with the threat to US strength coming from within. While he is too loyal to the bankers, this view is refreshing.

Joint Chief of Staff General Martin Dempsey has said that attacking Iran is a really bad idea.

Meanwhile, the Neocons are saying America has lost her nerve. But let's get real. The world economy hangs in the balance if there is a war in Iran. The stakes are high, from a Great Depression to WW3. Is it an acceptable risk to go to war with a country that talks belligerently but has not initiated war in 200 years?

Real conservatives, who are wary of foreign entanglements, do not think that is an acceptable risk!

If that isn't motivation for Israel to look deep inside and change her foreign policy and internal policy agendas, I don't know what is.

So, is Snowden part of a Neocon conspiracy based upon the Carlyle connection? That is hard to prove. But, even if Snowden leaked out of motives that had nothing to do with the Neocon position, the Neocons are smart enough to come down hard on the leaks for political advantage. The Neocons want to come across as uber patriotic, even though libertarian Republicans are opposed to the surveillance.

But know this, the Neocons are in a no holds barred intellectual war with a president who has given us peace, at least in a relative sense. The Obama Administration is spying on the Neocons, Fox News Reporters and the like. That could be based on paranoia, or more likely perhaps on a suspicion of Neocon opposition to the national interest of the USA.

See, the Neocons are not as patriotic as you think. In reality their patriotism starts with Israel and not with the United States. That is the con. And war is what they strive for.

Or have you readers forgotten what it was like under George W Bush with beheadings daily and hundreds of thousands dead, accompanied with financial strife of a hurtful housing bubble, and accompanied by the philosophy of endless war in the middle east?

  1. Great article! Unfortunately, the pen has lost its power! It's all about who has the biggest guns now!

  2. It is about shear power. It all rides on the ability of the US to exert her national interest rather than the interests of the neocons and Israel.

Space Wolves StormTalon Conversion Painted

Quite Pleased with this recent batch of vehicles, gave them my usual space wolves formula of VMC Dark Sea Blue, followed by VMC french Mirage Blue and then VGC Wolf Grey.. followed by a Heavy Weather.

The airbrush is such a useful tool for vehicles, allowing me to easily apply the scorth marks and dirt.. not to mention how useful it is for the base layers...

Also getting more comfortable doing a NMM look on larger areas.. sure it isnt perfect, nor is it time consuming, it's a good balance that I am very happy with.

 I did paint the Pilot.. Honest.. look you can almost see him :)

This is of course going in an allied force org.. all the allied space wolves will be from Bjorn Stormwolf's company for ease of identification...

There we are.. more vehicles to come in the next week or two. as a final note please bear with me for a while.. My Pc is infected with the most horrible Virus I have ever seen and so I'm posting using the annoying web interface,, I'll do my best to get back up and running asap..

Any thoughts and comment on this beat of a vehicle are as always welcome.. Thanks for reading!

  1. Nicely done, I like the different warhead colors on the missiles launchers. Your weathering is top notch.

  2. Thanks man.. looking through these, it's worth noting the photography has made the lenses look really flat and mono-colour.. that's not the case irl.. hmm odd...

  3. Wow, that looks good. What camera/lens did you use?

  4. Looking fantastic, really love the worn and used look from all that great weathering.

  5. Very nice piece of work, the weathering is looking good and the overall appearance is spot on.

  6. That is a thing of beauty love the nmm work.

  7. It looks better painted. Looking forward to blowing it out of the sky.

    EEspecially liking the talon decal on the forward fusilage. Is that wolfy or is purloined from elsewhere ?

  8. The weathering on this model is fantastic. Overall its a great realistic paint job. However, the glossy single color lights look completely out of place on an otherwise gorgeous model. You should take a half hour to go back and gem them to get them up to the quality of the rest of the model.

  9. Thanks guys all the comments are much appreciated :)

    Let me deal with a couple of questions..

    Gonewild.. having had the privelledge of working as a photographer I have some decent kit on hand. this was taken with a Nikon D200 with a cheap sigma 18-50mm lens cranked to the bottom end.. so 18mm wide.. (well more like 12 on a nikon ccd but hey) nothi9gn special in the lighting, striplamps form ikea with daylight bulbs in..

    Zzz.. those are indeed from the vanilla space wolf transfers provided by GW.. there is only one on each sheet though, I think they are intended as "honour badges" to be used in place of pack markings on some models.

    xNickBaranx yeah I did say they looked nothing like life.. then I went and looked.. I actually did some gem painting on them with tamaiya clear colours... then hit them with a matte varnish between that and the flattening effect of the daylight bulb, theres nothing left to write home about. I will paint in standard acrylic "gem" lenses.. I was trying to be more (psudo) realistic and it failed :)

    once again, thanks all. a few more vehicles to come in the next few days!

  10. Awesome!! I love the scorch marks and the hole thing In general. :)

Most forensic investigation projects include a scope to determine the cause of some damage or condition. Project scopes often request determining the cause and origin of the damage. Since insurance policies contain descriptions of covered and non-covered situations, clearly specifying causes and origins is crucial for clients' coverage decisions. This article discusses the differences between and significance of these two important terms.

Whether it is helping us formulate our opinion or confirming an initial diagnosis, technology plays a valuable role in forensic engineering work. Following are a few examples of existing technology available to Donan's project managers. Though not standard issue, these tools are utilized when necessary to accurately determine or confirm a cause of loss.

3/11/2015 · Psychology
Forensic psychological evaluations have become a valuable resource for the criminal justice system by addressing important forensic questions. For instance, assessing risk for violence can help courts make appropriate decisions on issues such as sentencing, granting privileges, and community reintegration. If an individual is assessed to be a high risk for future violence, a judge has grounds to order a more restrictive setting compared to someone who is a lower risk for recidivism. By tailoring court decisions based on accurate psychological evaluations, the community is safer while the defendant's rights are also protected.

As technology advances by leaps and bounds, digital devices are now an integral part of our lives. Every day we use cell phones, laptops, iPads, iPods, GPS systems -- the list is endless.

Most of us are familiar with the recent report from the National Academy of Sciences regarding the current state of forensic science. The section of the 254-page report that addresses the forensic discipline of bloodstain pattern analysis comprises fewer than two pages, yet succeeds, I believe, in making some astute points.

The forensic science of voice identification has come a long way from when it was first introduced in the American courts back in the mid 1960's.

Audio tapes, Video Tapes, Voice Identification, Enhancement and Authenticity Issues related to the admissibility of recorded media must pass certain legal criteria before it can be presented as evidence in a court of law.

3/30/2010 · Forensics
One specialized operation that is routinely abused is the crime scene operation. From small police departments to large law enforcement agencies, the biggest problem with crime scene operations is the presence and interference of non-essential personnel at the scene. The law enforcement agency’s administration should deal with this and other crime scene investigation problems through effective crime scene management.

970: The Important Field

Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.
Jump to: navigation, search
The Important Field
I hear in some places, you need to fill one form of ID to buy a gun, but two to pay for it by check. It's interesting to see who has what incentives to care about what mistakes.
Title text: I hear in some places, you need to fill one form of ID to buy a gun, but two to pay for it by check. It's interesting to see who has what incentives to care about what mistakes.

[edit] Explanation

It is very common that online input forms demand that one's email address is typed twice, and also quite common that pasting into the second field is disabled, so that there is no escape. If a form asks for some information that is really much more crucial, and this standard routine thoughtlessly isn't used for those fields too, it would comically seem that the form-makers consider your email address to be hideously important, maybe even more important than maybe the location where the missile lands. In the comic, the impression is that it is less important that the wrong city is not accidentally wiped out, than that the boss knows who to blame afterwards.

The title text suggests a real world parallel to this. Randall has heard about differing priorities of identifying who is purchasing a firearm (the state/locality requires one form of identification) and ensuring the payment (the store requires two forms of ID, to properly document the person, in case the check is fake or is rejected by the bank). The point is that people often care a lot about money, but a gun in the wrong hands is a potential disaster bigger than a few hundred missing dollars.

This is the only comic so far to feature Green Hat. It appears that the green hat means that he is part of the military.

In order to purchase a firearm in the United States from a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) you have to submit an official government photographic identification card (State ID or State Drivers license usually suffice), complete a Form 4473 Firearms Transaction Record to include such personal data as name, address, height, weight, ethnicity, age, birth date and Social Security Number or Tax Identification Number and submit the previous personal data from the Form 4473 to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) which is administered by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and receive a "PROCEED WITH TRANSACTION" from the NICS in order to take possession of the firearm.

To pay for your firearm with a check you only need show two forms of identification one of which may just be your Social Security Card.

To take possession of the firearm actually requires more stringent checks on identity than to pay with one by check.

But other than that you're right. -- (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Please enter your name and address, so we know who to blame when New York disappears. Davidy22[talk] 04:22, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

How can a law-bound society write laws about guns when the all-embracing laws cannot first be rescinded?

The USA has much the same life problems that Iran once had -which probably lead to Iran's defeat at Gaugamela (Mosul.) I doubt Darius III's officers had e-mail addresses to worry about, none the less if their aristocracy were bound by bureaucracy at the wrong time and place, that would have been it.

Something else that is probably beyond emails:

"The Iraqi government is planning to retake the city with the help of the peshmerga, Sunni tribes, and US-led coalition air support."

New “handisport” adventure

Expedition News-Official Website

From 30.03.2008 to 20.04.2008 - Status: success

Adventure in Spitzberg

Adventure in Spitzberg

© International Polar Foundation

Between 12th April and 5th May, a handicapped adventurer and two French students will strap on their cross-country skis and cover 200 km about a thousand kilometres away from the North Pole. They will attempt to scale Newtontoppen, a peak situated to the north-east of Longyearbyen, the capital of Spitsbergen.

The person who lays behind the project is Gérard Troadec, whose foot was amputated over ten years ago. Born in 1947 of Breton stock, this master-locksmith nearing retirement age is married and father to three children. Without them, he confided to us, he would never have been able to recover so quickly from the 1996 climbing accident that cost him his right foot. An adventure enthusiast since an early age, Gérard's achievements both before and after the amputation include competing in a number of high mountain events, including Mont-Blanc in 1996 and the crossing from Chamonix to Zermatt (Switzerland) in the Alps in 2006. With two previous polar excursions to his credit â Lapland on skis in 1995 and Spitsbergen in a kayak in 2003 â he brings all of his experience and knowledge to his team on this new adventure. Spurred on by his desire to "do what I used to be able to do before", Gérard very much feels he is ready to take on this exciting challenge.

To enable this expedition to take place, the students at France's Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Arts et Métiers (ENSAM) created an association named after their university, "Expé Arts et Métiers", with the aim of putting together a handisport expedition to Spitsbergen in April 2008.

Gérard Troadec is taking two companions along with him on this particular trip: Alexandre Chabaud, president of the association and a student engineer, and Nicolas Moulis, the association's secretary and youngest member of the expedition. Their job will be to provide Gérard with assistance as the trio climbs Newtontoppen.

The driving force behind the project

"The driving force behind the project is the idea that a person with a serious handicap can achieve exceptional things in the same way as any other person. The way we three see it as student engineers and organisers, the desire of sharing and giving something to others, which we developed during our training at ENSAM, takes on a whole new dimension when it comes to combating generally accepted ideas.
As future engineers, the trip is part of a broader Handimanagement' project that is aimed at making the business leaders of tomorrow aware of the day-to-day problems associated with having a handicap in the working world. But even more than that is our desire to demonstrate that when faced with certain challenges, physical inequalities fade away and leave only the challenge of a person pitting themselves against their willpower. And what better way of proving your own abilities is there than going up against the full force of Nature? By demonstrating that a person with a handicap is capable of achieving great things, we will show that they can also cope with the everyday things in life with equal success."

The crispy spirals made of Rice Flour Urad Dhal Flour

Murukku, one of the savory treats of South India is almost must in all the festivals of South India. This serves as favorite of all people. My Mom used to make murukku patterns directly in the hot oil over the flame. I used to watch all those sweet moments. But now when I make them I dont make the murukku pattern directly on the hot oil as I am scared of oil bursting. So I always make the pattern on the plates and drop them into the hot oil.

YIELD – 30 Murukkus

Raw Rice- 3 cups
Urad dhall - 3/4 cup
Butter - 50 gram
Sesame Seeds - 1 tsp.
Salt - as per taste
Oil - to deep fry

  1. Soak Raw rice in water for 1 hour. Drain it and spread it on a clean cotton cloth until it dries well.
  2. Grind this to a dry fine flour and keep aside.
  3. Dry roast the urad dhall in a pan.
  4. Let it cool down and grind it to a fine powder.
  5. Dry roast the sesame seeds in another pan until it starts to pop.
  6. Now mix the rice flour, urad dhall and sesame seeds with butter and required salt.
  7. Combine it well
  8. Now add water little by little until the dough becomes pliable.
  9. Divide the dough into equal parts and put it into the murukku make.
  10. Press it to the required patter on a clean plastic sheet.
  11. Heat oil in a pan.
  12. Drop the murukkus in batches inside the hot oil and fry until they are golden crispy.
  13. Continue this until all the murukku are done.
  14. You can store this as long as it is good without the smell of the oil.

  • One way to avoid bursting while making these kind of savories is to knead the dough by giving minimal pressure by just passing the fingers inside the flour.
  • To ensure light color of savory  (i.e to avoid reddish savories) always knead dough in batches when you make them in large amounts.Because when large amount of dough is made then when it comes to the last dough they will turn red during frying.
  • Always dont use very old rice flour for making savories as this will turn the savories hard.
  • Always fry the savories in medium heat, as low heat will take time to cook and will make them hard. High flame will over-burn them without cooking them in the interior.
  • Excess of butter will make the murukku brittle and less butter will make it hard.

   Method For Rava Idli:

Dear Paula

Unless you actually give others a bit mere detail (derrick, england?) you may find your search to be a very long one. You may have probably noticed already - when writing a surname for genealogical purposes it is the preferred convention to always write the name in UPPERCASE LETTERS. There are thousands of email 'lists' for genealogy, and when you begin discussing surnames that can also everyday words or items like LIGHT, or be first names like DERRICK and JAMES; there has to be some quick and easy way of distinguishing the important feature. It also has the added bonus of making the words leap out from a full page of information so that you can find them more easily.

Likewise, with so many names, it is preferential to put a location, and to use the proper noun, (Capital Letter) to make it sound out. England is a bit too vague, so try to put in some more detail, like Southern England, no idea of birth County, but married in ... or died in .... Or even son born in .... . In addition, you need dates, and again, if no concrete dates are known, then circa (c.) should be used.

If you do not know what your Grandfathers christian name was, then you should put his son/daughters name, so anybody finding a match will have some clue as to your ancestors identity.

Good luck hunting.

Farm Industry News

Court Ruling Brightens RR Alfalfa's Prospects

Yesterday’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling that lifts the ban on the sale and planting of Roundup Ready alfalfa seed is good news for proponents of the transgenic crop. But it won’t by itself hasten the seed’s return to the marketplace, says Mark McCaslin, president of Forage Genetics In-ternational, which developed the first Roundup Ready alfalfa varieties under a licensing agreement with Monsanto.

In a seven-to-one vote, the high court found that U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer erred in 2007 when he issued a permanent injunction banning the planting of Roundup Ready alfalfa until USDA completes an environmental impact statement (EIS). Breyer ruled that USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) should have done a full EIS before releasing the crop two years earlier. Yesterday’s ruling, the first-ever high-court decision on a genetically modified crop, overturns a federal appeals court ruling that upheld Breyer’s orders.

But in addition to issuing the injunction, Breyer “vacated” APHIS’ decision to deregulate Roundup Ready alfalfa, McCaslin points out. “That wasn’t appealed,” he says. “When that was vacated it became a regulated trait again, and it still is. So this in itself does not allow the sale and planting of Roundup Ready alfalfa. It would require a subsequent action from USDA.”

The agency could permit restricted planting of the crop this fall, but may instead focus on the EIS, which is nearing completion. “Hopefully we’re on the home stretch with the final EIS, which is a way to get back on the market permanently,” says McCaslin.

A written statement from USDA, issued late yesterday, reads in part: “APHIS is carefully reviewing the Supreme Court ruling before making decisions about its next regulatory actions related to the deregulation of Roundup Ready alfalfa. APHIS received 145,000 comments on the Roundup Ready alfalfa draft EIS, and is carefully reviewing each one of them. Once that review is complete, the next step is to develop a final EIS for Roundup Ready alfalfa, taking into consideration those comments. Completing the Roundup Ready alfalfa final EIS is a high priority for APHIS; the document is expected to be completed in time for the spring planting of alfalfa crops in 2011.”

McCaslin adds that Monday’s ruling “reinforces the role of APHIS as the government science-based agency for regulating, deregulating, granting permits, etc., for biotech traits in crops. It says it’s APHIS’ role, not the role of the courts. So we think that’s a positive, not just for Roundup Ready alfalfa, but for biotech crops in general.”

    From: Sarah Henderson
    Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1993 23:36:53 -0700 (PDT)
    This is a Persian recipe, but is similar to the aush I have had in an
    Afghan restaurant.  'Ash-e' means soup in Farsi.  Persian noodles
    (Reshteh) are available in Middle Eastern food shops.  The author notes
    that liquid kashke(whey) is available, but the quality isn't always good,
    so she uses sour cream.  She also suggests making the soup a day ahead of
    From _Food of Life_, by Najmieh Batmanglij

    1/2 lb. flat egg noodles or Persian noodles(Reshteh)
    1 Tbsp. flour
    1 cup liquid kashke or sour cream, or 1/4 cup wine vinegar
    *Gheimeh Garnish
            1/4 lb. beef, in 1/2 inch cubes
            1 small onion, chopped
            3 cloves garlic, crushed
            2 Tbsp. oil
            1/2 cup water
            2 Tbsp. yellow split peas
            1 tsp. tomato paste
            1/4 tsp. saffron, dissolved in 1 Tbsp. hot water
            1/2 tsp. salt
    *Mint Garnish
            1 onion, finely sliced
            3 cloves garlic, crushed
            1 Tbsp. oil
            1 tsp. dried mint flakes

    If using kashke or sour cream, set aside a heaping Tbsp. for garnish.
    Stir 2 Tbsp. of soup into remaining sour cream.  Stir this mixture slowly
    into soup.  Reheat just before serving, adding more water if it's too thick.
    About 1/2 hour before serving, prepare gheimeh garnish.  Brown meat,
    onion, and garlic in oil.  Stir in water and split peas.  Cover and cook
    20 minutes over low heat.  Add tomato paste, saffron, and salt.  Simmer
    covered for 10 minutes.
    While gheimeh is simmering, prepare mint garnish.  Brown onion and garlic
    in oil.  Remove from heat.  Crush mint flakes in hand and stir into onion.
    Pour soup into tureen, garnish with gheimeh and mint garnish and reserved
    sour cream by floating them on top.

Pick one scale as your "official" weigh in scale. Keep it on a hard level surface in one spot. Scales are calibrated differently and you can weigh something different on each one. The flooring can also give you different readings. If you want to see which is most accurate, get an object you know the weight of (like some handweights) and put them on to see which is most accurate.

FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter has expressed his sadness at the passing of former Arsenal and Republic of Ireland winger, Joe Haverty. The Dubliner, capped 32 times by his country and inaugurated into the Football Association of Ireland's Hall of Fame in 2000, died at the weekend, aged 72, following a short illness.

"It is with a sad heart that I write to you today, having learned of the tragic passing of Joe Haverty," said Blatter, in a letter to the FAI. "On behalf of FIFA and the worldwide family of football, I wish to extend our condolences to you, to the Irish football community and, most importantly, Joe Haverty's family, friends and loved ones. Please let them know that today, the football community stands by their side. We hope that in some way, our words of support may help bring a little bit of peace and solace at this of sadness."

Haverty played for Home Farm and St Patrick's Athletic in his homeland, before joining Arsenal in 1954 and debuting for them as an 18-year-old. A diminutive left-winger renowned for his dribbling, speed and crossing ability, he scored 26 goals in 122 appearances for the Gunners before joining Blackburn Rovers in 1961. He went on to turn out for Millwall, Celtic, Bristol Rovers, Shelbourne, Shamrock Rovers, Chicago Spurs and Kansas City Spurs.

Haverty made his Republic of Ireland debut in 1956, and played alongside the likes of Johnny Giles, Charlie Hurley, Tony Dunne and Noel Cantwell during his ten-year international career. After retiring from playing, he became a scout for Arsenal.

"Older fans always tell me what a crowd-pleasing player [he was] when he was at Highbury," said former Gunners midfielder Liam Brady. "He was also an excellent scout for us. "We all are sad at this news because he was a bubbly character right until the end."

The West Has Normalised Racist Wars - But You Can't Solve Complex Problems with 1,000lb Bombs
‘Radicalisation’ is our new dirty word in the US and UK, yet radical change is needed. Here’s an idea: stop trying to fix the world with high explosives
The West Has Normalised Racist Wars - But You Can't Solve Complex Problems with 1,000lb Bombs
By Frankie Boyle /
Jul 1, 2015

I suppose that whether this article prompted by the Charleston shootings feels topical enough will depend on whether America has another mass shooting before it goes to print. If you’re in the US, there’s a fair chance it will seem dated because you are actually being gunned down as you read it, so I’ll try to get straight to the point. It’s surely worth wondering whether it’s time to retire the flag that has for so long been a rallying point for racists and murderers, the stars and stripes. There’s a genuine question to be asked here: what responsibility does the US state bear for the Charleston shootings when racist murder seems to be part of its policing strategy and most of its foreign policy?

Occasionally I wonder whether at some point in the past 100 years the US gave the rest of the world a safe word and we’ve simply forgotten it. Or maybe we’re just saying it wrong (Aluminium? I’m sure you said it was aluminium ...) Hillary Clinton has been speaking out against the “racist terrorism” of Dylann Roofdespite being the architect of the US military intervention in Libya. The US’s record of invasions, assassinations and government overthrows is racist, I think. Imagining that you can kill people and seize control of their resources without believing them to be inferior requires a certain amount of intellectual flexibility. The same sort of intellectual flexibility that allows people to express grief for the migrants who drown in the Mediterranean and hatred for the ones who survive.

Part of the American mindset comes from the fact that the US was formed through the racist murder of indigenous people. The reason that whole country is such a horror story is that the entire thing is built on an Old Indian Graveyard. I worry that perhaps white America wants to believe that its racial fault lines only run as deep as the Confederate flag. Hence the current uproar at names of southern civil-war generals being on street signs while the faces of slave owners are still on the currency.

Of course not everybody gets behind the US’s view of itself, which is why it is the world’s largest producer of propaganda. Last year’s biggest movie, American Sniper, was billed as the story of the US army’s deadliest soldier, which must have felt pretty galling for the guy who dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. It was basically Star Wars from the point of view of one of the stormtroopers, and the director (Clint Eastwood – I’m not even joking) encouraged us to get behind the idea that you should take moral decisions when women and children are in your crosshairs, rather than long, long before. You got the feeling that the clunky scene explaining that sniper Chris Kyle’s unit painted skulls on their gear as a tribute to the Punisher was necessary in case viewers made the more logical supposition that it was a tribute to the Waffen-SS.

There are many indicators of advanced civilisations, but unthinking hero worship of the military isn’t one of them. The US, like the UK, has been forced to move away from a conscription army and now has a mercenary army. It’s the reason you don’t get war poets any more.

Indeed, before Britain feels too superior, we should perhaps remember that Roof’s main problem here would have been feeling torn between quite a few of the main parties at the last election. We live in a country where posting “Let’s riot or something bruv!” on Facebook will get you a couple of years in prison, while writing a column saying we should bomb Syria is practically an entrance exam for public intellectuals. Of course, it’s never phrased as a plea to kill shepherds in pursuit of our geopolitical interests. By the time it hits the broadsheets, it’s a plea to arm moderate rebels (they’ve got a moderate vision of the country’s future and they’re going to kill until they get it!). It’s a humanitarian intervention. We’re not fighting wars for control of resources. We’re not the aggressor in countries such as Iraq, we’re actually defending Iraq. From the Iraqis. The most obvious anti-war argument that none of this has ever worked just doesn’t seem to come up.

Of course our governments are just trying to protect us from terror. In the same way that someone banging a hornets’ nest with a stick is trying to protect us from hornets. Maybe I’ll even give them the benefit of the doubt and concede that they are just naive do-gooders trying to bring the world peace and stability through the medium of high explosives. What gets me is that the new dirty word in the west is “radicalisation”, as if radical change wasn’t obviously needed; as if the status quo has any decency, or is even survivable. It’s not actually difficult to see solutions to the US’s problems: children can do it, until we educate them out of it. Internationally, I propose the radical step of not trying to solve complex political problems with 1,000lb bombs; domestically, I propose they start addressing inequality by paying reparations for slavery. I’m well aware that in a society where war and discrimination are now almost entirely normalised, both options sound like madness.
