Intensive Insulin Therapy In Children And Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes Reduces Lifetime Risk Of Retinopathy And CataractsPosted: Wednesday, October 06, 2004
The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial showed the unequivocal advantages of intensive insulin therapy in comparison with conventional insulin therapy. .
This newer study sets out to estimate the influence of the duration of conventional insulin therapy on the development of complications in patients with type 1 diabetes for more than 5 years. 185 patients averaging 16.7 years of age with diabetes onset of approximately 8 years participated in this study. 148 were treated by classic insulin therapy at the beginning of disease and 37 persons had intensive insulin therapy from the start. The presence of at least one complication was found in 49 persons, two complications - in 14 patients and three complications in 4 patients. Patients who had developed retinopathy had remained on conventional therapy twice as long as the others. The significant influence of the age, the age of diabetes onset and duration was found in those patients. Patients treated conventionally for less than 3.5 years and then switched to intensive therapy had significantly less complications than those who stayed on conventional therapy longer. The risk of retinopathy increases from 4.2% to 8.9% in patients treated conventionally more than 3.5 years. The risk of diabetic cataract is 5 times higher in that group. Chronic complications of diabetes occur in 26.5 % patients of all patients with diabetes duration of at least 5 years. Conventional Insulin Therapy is a major risk factor of the eye complications in diabetes. The prolongation of CIT over 3.5 years increases the risk of retinopathy twice and the risk of cataract 5 times in patients with type 1 diabetes. So the early intensification of insulin therapy reduces the risk of the retinopathy and cataract development in later course of the disease. Source: Diabetes In Control.com: |

TORONTO, MARCH 31, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Pounding hearts, wounded hearts and burning hearts. The image of the human heart permeates the beautiful Easter Gospel of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35). It is a very human story, full of pathos; stylized in pattern, and suggesting a Eucharistic celebration (vv 30-32). The disciples come with their questions and doubts (vv 13-24); the Scriptures are recited (v 27); words of clarification and instruction are exchanged on the road (vv 25-27); and finally, the moment of recognition comes in the context of a meal (v 31).
These facts are clear from the account: On Easter night, Cleopas and his companion are going away from the locality where the decisive events have happened toward a little village of no significance. They did not believe the message of the resurrection, due to the scandal of the cross. Puzzled and discouraged, they are unable to see any liberation in the death, the empty tomb, or the message about the appearances of Jesus to the others. In their eyes, either the mission of Jesus had entirely failed, or else they, themselves had been badly deceived in their expectations about Jesus.
Road conversation
When we meet the disciples on the road to Emmaus, it is evening, and the glow of that first Easter day has begun to fade. Resurrection for them is nothing more than a rumor or a tale. Buried beneath their verbal exchange lies a deep yearning and a holy hunger. Intimately intertwined with their skepticism is their hope, and their need for God to be alive, vibrant and present. But the baggage of their doubt, sadness and despair impedes the fervor of their faith. They fail to recognize Jesus.
Without being aware of what they are really saying along the road, the two disciples profess many of the central elements of the creed of the Christian faith, yet they remain blind to the necessity of the Messianic suffering predicted in the Scriptures. They are so caught up with their own sadness that they fail to recognize Jesus.

Poiret's liberating platesThis fashion plate from Les Robes De Paul Poiret (1908) is one of eleven illustrations often credited with liberating women from the body constricting corsets popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras (1837-1910). Dress reformers had advocated for classical-style high waistlines as early as the 1880s, but it was Poiret's beautifully commissioned album that most successfully promoted this idea, inspiring a revolution in fashion. fashion plates, Paul Poiret, pochoir, Paul Iribe, rare books |

Q: My son recently was selected for his junior high school basketball team. During his last game, I noticed that, after playing for about 6-7 minutes, he appeared tired and more winded than usual, especially after he got back to the bench. He continued to play, but moved slowly up and down the court. Later he told me that had been experiencing breathing difficulty and coughing during practice sessions. His coach recently told him that he was "not in good enough shape" and needs to run more to catch up to the other players. For many years, he has suffered with nasal allergies during the spring and fall but never before has he had difficulty breathing. I am very worried - what should I do?
A: Your son could have exercise-induced asthma - also called exercise-induced bronchospasm - in addition to his nasal allergies. This is a very common condition in which exercise can trigger constriction of the bronchial airways resulting in symptoms of shortness of breath, chest tightness, and cough during or after intense aerobic exercise (such as running). Asthma symptoms begin within minutes after starting an exercise activity that causes a rapid increase in heart rate. Individuals (like your son) who have nasal allergies may be at higher risk for exercise-induced asthma.
He should be evaluated as soon as possible by a board certified allergist. The allergist will assess your son's breathing condition and determine the best treatment. A measurement of his lung capacity, with breathing tests before and after exercise, may be done. To prevent exercise-induced asthma symptoms, the allergist may advise your son to take a relief inhaler/bronchodilator (such as albuterol) 20-30 minutes before every practice and game. In nearly every case, symptoms can be managed so that your son should be able to enjoy playing basketball and other sports. With proper treatment prior to events, many elite athletes affected by this condition have been able to compete successfully!

No dorm, it's a community college you come and go as you please. :-(…
no dorms…
There is no dorms. It is a 100% commuter school. The closest you can get to a dorm is renting an apartment.…
I am currently not living in a college dorm.…
The food here is great. I'm excited to say we have a Dunkin Donuts, Burger King, Papa Ginos, Mcdonalds, Honey Farms and 2 gas stations all in walking distane no more than 5 minutes walk from the school to all business's mentioned.
Read MoreThere are too many to mention in the general area. Just an example, across the street is Papa Ginos pizza. Then you go down the street and there are all kinds of different pups and grills.
Read MoreThere's a small cafeteria that is decently price and has a a pretty good variety, though it closes early afternoon. there is also a small cafe in the HLC building much smaller, more for snack or a quick breakfast lunch, but nothing I have tried so far has been bad tasting.
Read MoreThe food available in the cafeteria is bar to none. You would be better off going across the street to Burger King.
Read MoreQCC has a main cafeteria as well as a cafe. Both are modern and clean, and they serve good food. They serve everything from coffee to cold refreshments and snacks to burgers and fries. Bon appetit!
Read MoreThey have a good amount of food/food options offered, considering it is such a small community college. The prices are reasonable, and I have never gone hungry there. Keeping up with the coffee supply was the only issue i saw.
Read MoreThe food taste great and very inexpensive if you're a student at the college. There is also a wide variety of foods to choose from. There are also many different restaurants surrounding the college campus.
Read MoreThey serve great foods in the Cafe, Burger King, Pizza Hut, and McDonald is like 50 ft from the school.
Read MoreI don't usually eat much on campus but when I do the food is decent cafeteria food.
Read MoreFor honor students there is PKA. They do a lot activities with in the community and for all students. They also do a lot of charity work too.
Read MoreUnsure about greek life.
Read MoreI am a Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society member and I feel like someone has recognized all of the hard work I have done. It feels good to get a pat on the back for all I have done.
Read MorePTK Phi Theta Kappa is an Academic Club.

Small business advocates in the House continue to introduce bills in support of small federal contractors. The latest bill would bring into the light the process by which agencies insource work and give firms standing to challenge an insourcing decision in court.
Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.) introduced the Subcontracting Transparency And Reliability (STAR) Act on Feb. 2.
Under the bill, agency officials would have to allow the public to comment on the agency's procedures for bringing in-house work that a small business has been doing. The small business advocates within a department, such as Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) officials, would have to review the procedures as well.
The bill would also give small businesses the opportunity to challenge insourcing decisions in court.
Mulvaney tackles subcontracting problems as well in the bill. A small business could not subcontract more than 50 percent of what the government pays it for a contract. There would be a penalty for violating the rule, including a possible three-year suspension from contracting, a fine or jail.
The legislation is designed to ensure that small businesses that get the contracts are doing the bulk of the work. It would make it easier to crack down on deceptive large businesses hiding behind small businesses.
"The STAR Act will help provide an even playing field for many small contractors who otherwise would not have the resources to fight deceitful subcontracting and unjustified insourcing within the federal procurement system," said Mulvaney, chairman of the Small Business Committee's Contracting and Workforce Subcommittee.
Mulvaney's legislation was introduced two days after the Small Business Committee chairman, Rep. Sam Graves (R-Mo.), introduced two bills. One bill would pressure agencies to meet their small business contracting goals or take bonuses away from senior federal officials. The Government Efficiency through Small Business Contracting Act (H.R. 3850) also raises the governmentwide contracting goal from 23 percent to 25 percent.
Graves introduced the Small Business Advocate Act (H.R. 3851) the same day. It would make the OSDBU director a senior executive position and "report directly and exclusively" to the agency head. The Small Business Committee wrangled with agency officials in 2011 about the access their OSDBU directors had to the top-ranking official.
In addition to these three bills, Rep. Bill Owens (D-N.Y.), member of the Small Business Committee, introduced a bill that would cut an agency's budget by 10 percent in the following fiscal year if that agency missed the set small-business contracting goal.
Each of the bills has been referred to the Small Business Committee for further consideration.

OccupyIT's last sentence hits the nail on the head. Prohibit small business contracts from being bundled and included into larger corporate contributor's contracts where a $100,000 bid is accepted and NOT bundled and included in a $10 Million contract instead where there is NO accountability for any savings. Stop bundling of small business contracts or force large businesses to show how they have included the same savings offered by the small business proposal!
Subcontracting Plans don't have a large amount of impact if the agency is not performing adequate oversight. Many are far worst than others & it applies mostly to the larger budget offices.
Feds are getting push from OMB to limit contract support staff if there is not adequate resources to oversee the work and to finally put an end to all the support contracts that violate FAR 37.203(c)(2). So if this legislation is passed, it would put feds in a catch-22 situation when trying to make a determination to not reprocure an inappropriate support contract that previously was awarded to a small business.
Failure to meet small business targets is not the result of small businesses subcontracting more than 50% of the work - that is already prohibited in essentially all awards with appropriate redress available when violated. The real issue is large businesses not meeting the subcontracting plans that they bid as a required part of their large business awards. What a red herring that turns this on its head. Ridiculous, Mr. Mulvaney! Include the same penalties for large business violating the subcontracting plans!

Interesting post. This will be my first trip to Africa and like many it has taken three years to pay for this hunt. I have saved up for a tip and knowing my shooting they will earn ing! I am considered hand-capped and can't walk very far so we will be doing a lot of hunting from the truck. I was told to just tip the PH and he will divide up. My question was to take cash or travelers check? I am taking a few hundred dollars for shopping and some other stuff so was not sure about running around with all that cash. I think I will pay him in checks, I hope that works. Great article and posts!

Don't pay with a check, very hard to change currency through the Reserve Bank for most people. The trackers will work hard and it is always a pleasure for them to get cash, Rands are the best. You will leave the best impression by giving a tip to them directly. Change cash at a bank for the best rate, the change booths are a hose job. The absolute best is use your card at an ATM. Learn how to shake their hand, their way, and that means no crushing. Hand the money with your right hand, not left. Sure there are a lot of comments here but R50/day is usually a nice tip. If they found a wounded animal that you would have paid for consider more.
One thing that I do if I am processing the tips is to sit the group down and have envelopes in front of me. I ask who they want to tip and put the cash in the envelope with the names on it. If it is for houskeeping I will call them all together for the tip and give them the envelope. You will find that the Africans are on the verge of Communist, they all need to know that they got the same.
Do enjoy your trip, you will have a blast. Handicaps will not be an issue.

Thanks, sorry I meant travelers checks. My main concern was just having a lot of cash on me. I will be in SA for awhile so would Rand be better in Zimbabwe instead of US$ or Zimbabwe money?

Zimbabwe has been using US currency for some time as the official money. Cash is best for tips. US cash in most places or the local currency, Rand in RSA.

JakeinTX as sestoppelman said tip with cash for anything owed to the outfitter you can pay with travelers checks if its a large sum of money check with the outfitter they may except a cashers check for the full amount and that will save you a lot of signing. but there's really no way of getting out of carrying cash you may need some small bills at places like airports 5's 10's and 20's for tipping or in the event you have to get a few extra helpers to get some big animals out of the some hard to get to places. and if all else fails ATM.
Enjoy life now -- it has an expiration date.

You will find travelers checks near to useless. They can be only cashed in big banks, no tracker can afford the transport to do this. Bob is right $US is a good choice, R in SA. R is also good in Zim. Cash talks, BS walks. Don't overdo any tips. I send guys coming over R300 in R10 notes, easily gets through to the hunt area. The clowns at the airport aren't needed, and get tipped a such. Your trackers need and deserve to be taken care of.

Just went home from a most fantastic hunting trip to SA, Limpopo province in the Marken area. I was suppose to hunt with the PH who owned the hunting lodge, but due to his planning with a "bigger" trip, i got another PH. The tracker was also driver and skinner. I payed him 50 R pr animal i shot. I payed my PH 3000 R for the week and he gave the tracker a little of that. I gave 1200 to the staff on the lodge for service and wash of clothing. My son (9) was with me and the lodge owner took him hunting 2 times and my son shot a fine Impala and a warthog. When not hunting he borrowed a quadbike and had a good time in the bush. I never payed the lodge ovner a dime. I think I regret that now. But should i?

Perhaps he was being generous because you were also reciprocating with being patient with his swapping PH's on you.
To someone more demanding this is a breach of contract!!
If you are concerned at all about your sons usage of the quad etc. send him an email and ask him about it.
I sincerely doubt that he would want to you to pay anything.
People can just be generous too!
It is actually a very strong trait that I found across South Africa and Namibia.Practice whispering before you leave for Africa!

NO! You would only tip him if he had been your PH as planned, not just for being the owner. He has already been paid via your daily rate and trophy fees. If he had been your PH it would have been different. You did it right.

Why should you give tips to the lodge owner, unless he engage him self personally in your stay and well beeing. He get paid for your stay anyway. The service of the staff are different, considering their probably meager salleries.
The best hunt are the one in your dreams, the next best are the one in your memories.

Mr. Buck 001
I would send him an e mail asking if you owed him anything for the quadbike and see what he says.
Just let them know you and your son had a great time and appreciate the fact that your son was allowed to use there equipment and if there was a charge for the quadbike.

Just returning from Zulu-Natal, had a bargin hunt through an SCI banquet 9 days of hunting. The tracker was ,spotter (extrmely good), driver, skinner (also very good). Tipped tracker $250 US. Cook, clothes washer and camp helper were each $45 US, and PH got $1,200 he was exceptional, did some extra special cooking, crawled through brush which was nearly impossible to get through. Used his dogs to recover animals. PH was concerned with all aspects of the hunt. While not a complete bargain, I would not hesitate to do it again!

It depends of course on the nature and total cost of the hunt and the service everyone give you, but that tip are in my opinion way to high( half of it would have been a nice tip). I just hope that kind of tip are not becoming common..
Just my opinion..The best hunt are the one in your dreams, the next best are the one in your memories.

Thanks for the great advice , we don't really tip in Australia and funny as it seems what to tip i my upcoming hunt was really a source of some misgivings for me. It was really handy to be able to read exactly what other people including outfitters say should be done.

was wondering about tipping on a two on one plainsgame hunt as opposed to a one on one as the ph is still only spending one day with clients but getting tipped twice .Any input.

Figure out the tip for a 1X1 hunt, both hunters contribute half to that, then add some premium especially if all went well. I wouldnt double tip. Its not twice as much work for the PH to have 2 guys along.

With being a hunting guide in the United States, I have learned that the tip is a way of knowing how you did as a gudie. Clients that tip well generally appricate the services they have recieved from their guide. Also its your life line when an outfitter pays poorly. As a guide or PH go the extra mile and the cleint if they care at all should play up, its the same as a good waitress or waiter.

Unless I missed it somehow, I have an interesting question....
If you are bowhunting over a waterhole, and basically being dropped off and picked up at the end of the day, should the tip for the PH reflect this?
I don't quite know what they do all day - take care of another hunter, whatever. If so, they are getting doubly tipped. If not, then they are basically working only a few hours per day.

She said after the financial collapse of 2008, consumers put off buying new cars. As a result, cars on the road today are typically older than those of prior years.
"Right now, the average age of a vehicle on the road is about 11 years," she said.
But she said many older vehicles get only 12 to 14 miles per gallon of gas.
That might have been OK when gas was $1.50 a gallon, but with today's $3 plus, gas guzzlers are cash guzzlers.
A new vehicle boasting 30-plus miles per gallon is enticing.
Herrmann said that was one of the pluses for the Cruze. Some Cruze models boast fuel economies of up to 42 miles per gallon.
Also helping is the state's $7,500 tax credit for consumers who buy alternative fuel or hybrid vehicles.
While the tax credit has been around since 2011, Lemmon said consumers only recently caught onto its advantages.
"It was just kind of picked up on in the last six months," she said.
"A credit is much more attractive than a deduction," she said. "The general public says, 'Gee, I can get a $7,500 tax credit, and if my tax credit is more than what I pay in taxes, then I get to keep that money.' "
With gas prices expected to stay around $3.30 a gallon or more in 2013, and with the tax credit still in place for West Virginia consumers, car dealers expect consumers to continue to trade up to more fuel-efficient vehicles.
"We're really excited about 2013," Lemmon said.
NADA expects U.S. auto sales to top 15.4 million this year, as pent-up demand, low interest rates, declining unemployment, a shortage of used vehicles and improving home values all help persuade consumers to buy new cars.
"Nationally, the last time we were even close to that was back in 2006 and 2007, when we hit 16 million," Lemmon said.
The market also may get a boost when the state's top-selling vehicle, the Silverado, rolls out its 2014 model in the fourth quarter of this year.
Consumers can get a preview of the 2014 model next week at the West Virginia Auto Show in Charleston.
Chevrolet will have a demo version of the new Silverado on display, and Lemmon thinks consumers will like the latest update to the brand.
"It's a complete redo - the engineering, the electronics, the features, the body style, all of that," she said. "That will be very exciting."
The Auto Show hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 25 and 26, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 27, at the Charleston Civic Center.

Sanofi's Acomplia (rimonabant) Weight Loss Drug Gets EU ApprovalPosted: Friday, July 07, 2006The European Commission has approved 20-mg tablets of rimonabant for use as an adjunct to diet and exercise in the treatment of obese or overweight patients with associated cardiometabolic risk factors such as type 2 diabetes or dyslipidemia. Sanofi-Aventis has high hopes for obesity drug Acomplia, launched in Britain this week, but its rollout across the EU is hard to predict given the politics of access to new drugs in Europe. Patients presenting with abdominal obesity who also have diabetes and/or dyslipidemia are most likely to benefit from rimonabant therapy. Almost 50% of adults with a large waist circumference (102 cm/40 inches in men, 88 cm/35 inches in women) also have at least 3 additional cardiometabolic risk factors. Rimonabant is the first in a new class of drugs called cannabinoid subtype 1 (CB1) blockers, which work by selectively blocking receptors in the brain and peripheral organs that play a key role in glucose and lipid metabolism (eg, adipose tissue, the liver, gastrointestinal tract, and muscle). CB1 receptor blockade serves to decrease hyperactivity of the endocannabinoid system, which has been recently characterized as playing an important role in regulating body weight, controlling energy balance, and glucose and lipid metabolism. Sanofi has priced Acomplia at $100 dollars (55.20 pounds) for one month's supply in Britain, which equates to $3.14 per tablet (2.50 euros). Expected to sell for 20% more in the U.S. That is a somewhat lower price than analysts had expected for the drug, which is viewed as Sanofi's most important new product, with potential annual sales worldwide of more than $3 billion.
Sanofi hopes to start selling it in the U.S. before the year-end.
The drug was approved for use in Europe, along with diet and exercise, in treating obese patients, or overweight people who also have diabetes or high cholesterol. Source: Diabetes In Control |

Does anyone know what would cause random smoke alarm false alarms?
I have hard wired/battery backup smoke alarms in my house. I moved here 7 years ago and I get about 3 false alarms a year where every damn alarm in the house goes off. It is always in the middle of the night.
The previous owner of the house was a smoker, and all the alarms were discolored. The house was gutted and re-drywalled and I went through and replaced EVERY alarm this spring. This has not stopped the false alarms, I had the second one Friday night. There are no appliances running that are not normally running when it happens. Any idea's? |

Got dogs? Did the last owner? I had wired/battery smokes in my house, and they were going nuts, ADT was sending the fire department once a week. Where the dogs kennels were the smoke head had a nice coating of dog dander between the pickups inside, and gave a false alarm.
They wouldn't warrantee their work either. Bastards. |

We had the issue in our home also. We were getting 2-3 false alarms per year for a while. There just is no going back to bed when this happens.
I got some compressed air and blew them out. I do it every time I change the batteries and I believe that we are like 2 years without a false alarm. Do not use an air compressor but the compressed freon cans for blowing out electronic devices. |

I read somewhere they need to be replaced every ten years, is there something that goes bad in them and would cause false alarms?
wondering because my mom had one doing false bad battery beeps and had to pull it, I was going to replace the whole detector, but haven't yet. |

I had the same happen to the house I just rented but I believe it to be caused from owners smoking but a can of duster and blew them all out and ive also be problem free. Sure freaks you out in the middle of the night! |

fixed smoke detectors are a pain. Blow them out annual with compressed air, replace when that stops working. Thats what works in open squad bay barracks, it should serve you well at home.

The Fleet Air Arm (FAA) is the branch of the British Royal Navy responsible for the operation of naval aircraft. The Fleet Air Arm currently operates the AgustaWestland Merlin, Westland Sea King and Westland Lynx helicopters. Helicopters such as the Lynx and Westland Wasp have been deployed on smaller vessels since 1964, taking over the roles once performed by biplanes such as the Fairey Swordfish.
The Fleet Air Arm was formed in 1924 as organisational unit of the Royal Air Force which was then operating the aircraft embarked on RN ships – the Royal Naval Air Service having been merged with the British Army's Royal Flying Corps in 1918 – and did not come under the direct control of the Admiralty until mid-1939. During the Second World War, the Fleet Air Arm operated both aircraft on ships and land-based aircraft that defended the Royal Navy's shore establishments and facilities.
British naval flying started in 1909, with the construction of an airship for naval duties.[1] In 1911 the Royal Navy graduated its first aeroplane pilots at the Royal Aero Club flying ground at Eastchurch, Isle of Sheppey under the tutelage of pioneer aviator George Bertram Cockburn,[2] but in May 1912 naval and army aviation were combined to become the Royal Flying Corps (RFC). The Naval Wing of the RFC lasted until July 1914 when the Royal Navy reformed its air branch, under the Air Department of the Admiralty[citation needed], naming it the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS).[3]
By the outbreak of the First World War, in August 1914, the RNAS had more aircraft under its control than the remaining RFC.[citation needed] The main roles of the RNAS were fleet reconnaissance, patrolling coasts for enemy ships and submarines, attacking enemy coastal territory and defending Britain from enemy air-raids, along with deployment along the Western Front. In April 1918 the RNAS, which at this time had 67,000 officers and men, 2,949 aircraft, 103 airships and 126 coastal stations, merged with the RFC to form the Royal Air Force.
Fleet Air Arm[edit]
On 1 April 1924, the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Air Force was formed, encompassing those RAF units that normally embarked on aircraft carriers and fighting ships.[4] 1924 was a significant year for British naval aviation as only weeks before the founding of the Fleet Air Arm, the Royal Navy had commissioned HMS Hermes, the world's first ship to be designed and built as an aircraft carrier. Over the following months RAF Fleet Air Arm Fairey IIID reconnaissance biplanes operated off Hermes, conducting flying trials.
On 24 May 1939 the Fleet Air Arm was returned to Admiralty control[5] under the "Inskip Award" (named after the Minister for Co-ordination of Defence who was overseeing Britain's re-armament programme) and renamed the Air Branch of the Royal Navy. At the onset of the Second World War, the Fleet Air Arm consisted of 20 squadrons with only 232 aircraft. By the end of the war the worldwide strength of the Fleet Air Arm was 59 aircraft carriers, 3,700 aircraft, 72,000 officers and men, and 56 Naval air stations.
During the war, the FAA operated fighters, torpedo bombers and reconnaissance aircraft. Following the Dunkirk evacuation and the commencement of the Battle of Britain, the Royal Air Force soon found itself critically short of fighter pilots. In the summer of 1940, the RAF had little more than 800 fighter pilots and as the Battle progressed the RAF shortage worsened. There were simply not enough pilots, not enough ground crew, never enough sleep and too many enemy aircraft. With this desperate situation the RAF was forced to call upon the Admiralty for Fleet Air Arm assistance. As the Battle progressed, many of the unsung heroes of RAF Fighter Command were the Fleet Air Arm crews who served under Fighter Command, either loaned directly to RAF fighter squadrons or as with 804 and 808 naval units, entire squadrons were loaned to RAF Fighter Command, such as No 804 Squadron, which provided dockyard defence during the Battle of Britain with Sea Gladiators.[6]
In the waters around the British Isles and out into the Atlantic Ocean, operations against enemy shipping and submarines in support of the RN were mounted by RAF Coastal Command with large patrol bombers and flying boats and land-based fighter-bombers. The aircraft carrier had replaced the battleship as the Fleet's capital ship and its aircraft were now strike weapons in their own right. The top scoring fighter ace with 17 victories was Commander Stanley Orr, the Royal Marine ace was Ronald Cuthbert Hay with 13 victories.
Post-war history[edit]
After the war the FAA needed to fly jet aircraft from their carriers. The jet aircraft of the era were considerably less effective at low speeds than propeller aircraft, but propeller aircraft could not effectively fight jets at the high speeds flown by jet aircraft. The FAA took on its first jet, the Sea Vampire, in the late 1940s. The Sea Vampire was the first jet credited with taking off and landing on a carrier. The Air Arm continued with high-powered prop aircraft alongside the new jets resulting in the FAA being woefully outpowered during the Korean War. Nevertheless, jets were not yet wholly superior to propeller aircraft and a flight of ground-attack Hawker Sea Furies downed a MiG-15 and damaged others in an engagement.
As jets became larger, more powerful and faster they required more space to take off and land. The US Navy simply built much larger carriers. The Royal Navy had a few large carriers built and completed after the end of the war but another solution was sought. This was partly overcome by the introduction of a Royal Navy idea to angle the flight deck away from the centre line so that the aircraft landing had a clear run away from the usual forward deck park. An associated British invention, intended to provide more precise optical guidance to aircraft on final approaching the deck, was the Fresnel lens optical landing aid. Another Royal Navy invention was the use of a steam powered catapult to cater for the larger and heavier aircraft (both systems were adopted by the US Navy).
Defence cuts across the British armed forces during the 1960s and 1970s led to the withdrawal of existing Royal Navy aircraft carriers, transfer of Fleet Air Arm fixed-wing jet strike aircraft such as the F-4K (FG.1) Phantom II and Buccaneer S.2 to the Royal Air Force, and cancellation of large replacement aircraft carriers, including the CVA-01 design. A new series of small carriers, the Invincible class anti-submarine warfare ships (known as "through deck cruisers") were built and equipped with the Sea Harrier a derivative of the Hawker Siddeley Harrier VTOL aircraft. These carriers incorporated an upswept forward section of the flight deck that deflected the aircraft upward on launch and permitted heavier loads to be carried by the Harrier, for example in weaponry, and the system was used extensively in the Falklands war. The Harrier went on to form the basis of the Royal Navy's fixed-wing strike forces.
Two new Queen Elizabeth class carriers able to operate the F-35B short take-off and landing variant of the US Lockheed Martin Lightning II aircraft are under construction. However, with 21st century defence cuts continuing to impact the Ministry of Defence in general, and the Admiralty in particular, it is not certain if both carriers will enter service or what the final number of F-35 aircraft purchased will be.
Helicopters also became important combat vehicles starting in the 1960s. At first they were employed on the carriers alongside the fixed-wing aircraft, but later they were also deployed on most smaller ships. Today at least one helicopter is found on all ships of frigate size or larger. Wasps and Sea Harriers played an active part in the 1982 Falkland Islands conflict, while Lynx helicopters played an attack role against Iraqi patrol boats in the 1991 Gulf War and Commando Sea King HC4s as well as the Lynx HMA Mk 8 from HMS Argyll, assisted in suppressing rebel forces in Sierra Leone.
In 2000 the Sea Harrier force was merged with the RAF's Harrier GR7 fleet to form Joint Force Harrier. The Fleet Air Arm began withdrawing the Sea Harrier from service in 2004 with the disbandment of 800 NAS. 801 NAS disbanded on 28 March 2006 at RNAS Yeovilton (HMS Heron). 800 and 801 NAS were then combined to form the Naval Strike Wing, flying ex-RAF Harrier GR7 and GR9s. On 1 April 2010, NSW reverted to the identity of 800 Naval Air Squadron. The Harrier GR7 and GR9 retired from service in December 2010 following the 2010 SDSR.[7] With the introduction of the F-35, the Fleet Air Arm will eventually return to the operation of fixed-wing strike aircraft at sea. As of 2013, an initial cadre of Royal Air Force and Royal Navy pilots and aircraft maintenance personnel were assigned to the U.S. Marine Corps' Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 (VMFAT-501), part of the U.S. Air Force's 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, for training on the F-35B.
The Fleet Air Arm has a museum near RNAS Yeovilton (HMS Heron) in Somerset, England at which many of the great historical aircraft flown by the Service are on display, along with aircraft from other sources. There is also a Fleet Air Arm museum inside the Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT) in Auckland, New Zealand. On display there is a full-size replica Fairey Swordfish, along with historic items and memorabilia.
The FAA today[edit]
In 1938, Admiralty Fleet Orders 2885 announced the formation of an Air Branch of the Royal Naval Reserve. Thirty three unmarried men signed up for 18 months full-time flying training; however, before these first volunteers were able to gain their wings Britain was at war. At the end of hostilities in 1945 the RNVR(A) was 46,000 strong, with over 8,000 aircrew. Post war the RNVR(A) comprised 12 dedicated reserve squadrons, grouped regionally into Air Divisions. However, defence cuts in 1957 disbanded the five Air Divisions, and the following year the RNVR was merged with the RNR. The RNR Air Branch was commissioned at RNAS Yeovilton on 16 July 1980, and shortly afterwards 38 ex-regular aircrew began refresher training. Today the Air Branch comprises approx 250 ex-regular service Officers and Ratings, covering all aviation trades, tasked to support the Fleet Air Arm.
As of 1 December 2013, the Regular Fleet Air Arm has a reported strength of 5,000 personnel,[8] which represents approximately 20% of the Royal Navy's total strength (excluding Royal Marines). The Assistant Chief of Naval Staff (Aviation & Carriers) is Rear Admiral R G Harding OBE.[9]
The FAA operates fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. The FAA uses the same designation system for aircraft as the RAF. Three types of fixed-wing aircraft are operated by the FAA for training purposes: pilot training is carried out using the Grob Tutor while, from March 2011, observer training is done using four Avenger T.1 Beechcraft King Air 350ER.[10] The third type is the Hawk T1/1a, which is used to simulate enemy aircraft for training purposes including AEW Fighter Control, air-to-air combat and ship attack.
Today the larger section of the FAA is the rotary-wing part. Its aviators fly four types of helicopter, and within each type there are usually several marks/variants which carry out different roles. Pilots designated for rotary wing service train at the Defence Helicopter Flying School, RAF Shawbury. The School is a tri-Service organisation consisting of civilian and military instructors (including Naval instructors and a Naval Air Squadron) that take the student from basic flying through to more advanced flying such as instrument flying, navigation, formation and captaincy. The oldest aircraft in the fleet is the Westland Sea King, which performs missions in several versions. The Sea King HC4 serves as a medium-lifter and troop-transporter in support of the Royal Marines. The HU.5 model operates in the Search and Rescue role and the ASaC7 operates in the AEW role. Intermediate in age is the Westland Lynx. The Lynx AH 9a serves the FAA in the observation, amphibious support helicopter role. Along with the Sea King HC4s, they equip the RN Commando Helicopter Force, which provides airborne support to 3 Commando Brigade of the Royal Marines.
The surface combatants of the Royal Navy have their helicopters provided for the most part by the Lynx HMA8 aircraft. The Lynx have primarily an anti-submarine warfare role and anti-surface vessel role. They are able to fire the Sea Skua anti-surface missile, which was used to combat the Iraqi navy in the 1991 Gulf War. It can be armed with Stingray air-launched torpedoes and depth charges for anti-submarine warfare, as well as heavy-calibre machine guns. The Lynx was originally envisaged for surface combatants that were too small for the Sea King, but now equips most frigates and destroyers of the Royal Navy. The newest helicopter in the FAA is the AgustaWestland Merlin. This aircraft replaced the Sea King HAS.6 in the Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) role, is presently being upgraded from HM.1 to HM.2 standard and is deployed in various ships of the Royal Navy.
Future aircraft[edit]
In the Persian Gulf, the RN sustains a number of commitments in support of both national and coalition efforts to stabilise the region. The Armilla Patrol, which started in 1980, is the navy's primary commitment the Gulf region. The Royal Navy also contributes heavily to the combined maritime forces in the Gulf in support of coalition operations.[11] The UK Maritime Component Commander (UKMCC), overseer of all UK warships in the Persian Gulf and surrounding waters, is also deputy commander of the Combined Maritime Forces.[12] Although currently the Fleet Air Arm is an all rotary wing force in terms of its front-line operations, the introduction of the F-35B Lightning II will see a restoration of fixed wing operations. An initial order of 48 airframes was made in 2012 to equip the air wings of the planned two Queen Elizabeth class carriers, with the operation split between the FAA and the Royal Air Force, as was the case with Joint Force Harrier.
The Fleet Air Arm will obtain a total of 28 AW159 Wildcat HMA.2 helicopters to replace the current Lynx HMA.8 in use on the Ship's Flights of the Royal Navy's escorts - this will perform a range of roles including anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare and airborne surveillance. To replace the Sea King in the RN Commando role, the Fleet Air Arm will receive the Merlin HC.3/3a fleet currently operated by the RAF. These Merlin aircraft will be transferred to the Royal Navy in Sep 2014 and will be fully navalised and re-designated as HC.4/4a under the Merlin Life Sustainment Programme (MLSP) that was placed on contract in Dec 2013. In addition to replacing the RN Commando Helicopter Force Sea Kings, there is also a project to replace the Sea King in the Airborne Surveillance and Control mission. Known as 'Crowsnest', the Assessment Phase for this project is under contract and involves competitive proposals for implementing the ASaC capability in a platform based upon the new Merlin HM.2 air vehicle. The Main Gate for the project is in 2017.
MOD DE&S signed a £30 million contract for the Boeing Insitu ScanEagle on the 20 June 2013 to provide small unmanned surveillance aircraft to equip RN warships and RFAs. The Royal Navy's first UAV entered service with 831 Maritime Unmanned Aerial System (Mar UAS) Flight in Dec 2013 and is based at RNAS Culdrose.
Squadrons and Flights[edit]
Fleet Air Arm flying squadrons are formally named Naval Air Squadron (NASs),[13] a title used as a suffix to the squadron number. The FAA assigns numbers in the 700–799 range to training and operational conversion squadrons and numbers in the 800–899 range to operational squadrons. During WWII the 1700 and 1800 ranges were also used for operational squadrons.
Squadrons active in the FAA are:[13]

One from my trio of the night. Deep and dark, the smell just hits you with a fait amount of dominant dark roast. Almost reminiscent of Harvey's own take on the style but without the same vinous or sour qualities. Prefers to run with the blackness here which,despite some black current and medicinal shadows, prevents it from having the necessary complexity and development. Nice enough though and certainly worthy of much contemplation.

Half pint at The Rake in London. From notes.
A - Poured pitch black with a half finger of bubblebath type head with filmy bubbles on the side. Appeared to be less than thick but Not bad.
S - Very mild for the style. Chocolate dominates with some dark bread.
T - Very plain for an Imperial Stout IMO. For the strength there wasn't much complexity. I got Some bittersweet chocolate and some coffee with sweet malt and more coffee later on down the road.
M - No carbonation, medium body seemed quite weak for they style again. Sweet finish.
O/D - Underwhelming. For an Imperial Stout this was weak on flavour and body and not worth seeking out. I wasn't too pleased to have been let down by this. By no means a bad beer, just one lacking character and depth.
