Long-range reconnaissance patrol
(Redirected from Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol)
U.S. Army Rangers LRRP team leader and radiotelephone operator, Vietnam, 1968
A long-range reconnaissance patrol, or LRRP (pronounced "lurp"), is a small, well-armed reconnaissance team that patrols deep in enemy-held territory.[1]
The concept of scouts dates back to the origins of warfare itself. However, in modern times these specialized units evolved from examples such as Rogers' Rangers in colonial British America,[1] the Lovat Scouts in World War One, the Long Range Desert Group and the Special Air Service in the Western Desert Campaign and North West Europe, similar units such as Force 136 in East Asia, and the special Finnish light infantry units during the Second World War.
Postwar, the role was carried in various North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and British Commonwealth countries by units that could trace their origins to these wartime creations such as the British SAS, Australia's Special Air Service Regiment and the New Zealand Special Air Service, 1er RPIMa, GCP, Groupement de Commandos Mixtes Aéroportés in France and the United States Army Rangers, Long Range Surveillance teams, and Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition squadrons.

As indicated, the use of scouts is ancient, however, during the French and Indian War (1754–1763), the techniques of long-range reconnaissance and raiding were significantly implemented by the British in colonial America. The British employed the American Major Robert Rogers to make long-range attacks against the French and their Indian allies along the frontiers of the British colonies and New France. The achievements of Major Roberts' dozen companies of approximately 1,200 men during the French and Indian War were so extraordinary that his doctrine, "Standing Orders, Rogers' Rangers," 1759, became the cornerstone of future U.S. Army long-range reconnaissance patrol units, including the U.S. Army Rangers, and indeed, the Special Operations light infantry community.[1]
Long-range reconnaissance patrol by nationEdit

During the Second World War, the 2/1st North Australia Observer Unit was tasked with patrolling the remote areas of northern Australia on horseback. Many from the Unit were recruited to join M Special Unit and Z Special Unit for long-range specialist reconnaissance and sabotage behind Japanese lines.
In the 1980s the Regional Force Surveillance Units (NORFORCE, The Pilbara Regiment and 51st Battalion, Far North Queensland Regiment) were formed to conduct long-range reconnaissance and surveillance patrols in the sparsely populated and remote regions of northern Australia. The Special Air Service Regiment also conducts long-ranged patrols, and has done so during combat and peacekeeping deployments.
CanadaEdit
The Canadian Rangers conduct long-range surveillance or sovereignty patrols in the sparsely settled areas of Northern Canada. Although part of the Canadian Army, they are an irregular military force.
DenmarkEdit
The Danish Defence Forces had three Long-Range Surveillance companies (LRSC) known as "Patrol-Companies" (PTLCOY): Two assigned to the two Land Commands: LANDJUT and LANDZEALAND (Corps-level) (abbreviated "SEP/ELK" and "SEP/VLK" for: "Specielle Efterretningspatruljer/Østre resp. Vestre Landskommando" i.e. Special Intelligence Patrols) – two all-volunteer units within the Danish Home Guard - that was changed into the Special Support and Reconnaissance Company (SSR) in 2007 as a Special Reconnaissance (SR) Company dedicated to supporting the Danish Special Operations. The Third and last company (PTLCOY/DDIV) was assigned to the Jutland Division (later Danish Division/DDIV) and was trained by instructors from The Danish Army Special Operations Forces: Jægerkorpset (i.e. Hunter Force) in Aalborg. PTLCOY/DDIV was disbanded in 2002 due to budget-cuts and the intent to implement UAV in the Danish Army as primary means of ISR. The UAV project later failed and was disbanded too. Likely to be the world's smallest LRS unit is The Sirius Dog Sled Patrol (Danish: Slædepatruljen Sirius), known informally as Siriuspatruljen (the Sirius Patrol). It is a small squad-sized elite unit in the Danish Navy, that enforces Danish sovereignty in the Arctic wilderness of northern and eastern Greenland, and conducts long-range reconnaissance patrolling. Patrolling is usually done in pairs, sometimes for four months and often without additional human contact.
FinlandEdit

In Finland, long-range patrols (kaukopartio) were especially notable during World War II. For example, Erillinen Pataljoona 4 (4th Detached Battalion), a command of four different long-range patrol detachments; Detachment Paatsalo, Detachment Kuismanen, Detachment Vehniäinen and Detachment Marttina, operated in the Finnish-Soviet theater of WWII, also known as the Continuation War, from 1941 through 1944. These units penetrated Soviet lines and conducted reconnaissance and destroy missions. During the trench warfare period of the war, long-range patrols were often conducted by special Finnish Sissi troops. After the war, NATO hired former members of the 4th Detached Battalion to spy on Soviet Union's military bases in the Kola Peninsula and Karelian Isthmus. NATO ended the spy operation in 1957. From then on, espionage data was obtained from forward satellites.[2]
Former President of Finland, Mauno Koivisto, served in Lauri Törni's specially designed Jäger Company (called Detachment Törni) in the Finnish 1st Infantry Division. Lauri Törni became a US citizen and entered the US Army Special Forces. He gave important knowledge in long-range patrolling techniques and was declared MIA during the Vietnam War in 1965. His remains were later found, brought to the US, and buried in Arlington on 26 June 2003.
GermanyEdit
Main article: Fernspählehrkompanie 200
In the German Bundeswehr, LRRP is called Fernspäher (long-range scouts). Historically, the German Fernspäher units were modelled after the Finnish long-range patrols and derived from the existing elite units of Gebirgsjäger and Fallschirmjäger. Originally, there were three companies of Fernspäher in the Bundeswehr, one being assigned to each corps. Since the reformation of German Special Forces in 1996, the Fernspählehrkompanie 200 (FSLK200) is the single remaining Fernspäher unit. The Fernspähers are part of the Special Operations Division. FSLK200 is the only German special force-type unit which has also recruited women.[3] Details about operations of the FSLK200 are secret but it is known that Fernspäher carried out missions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, during the Kosovo War and later during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.
IndiaEdit
Special Frontier Force is considered a long-range reconnaissance patrol or pathfinder. They were trained against the Chinese but used to great success in Pakistan administered Kashmir and in the northern state of Punjab.
Kopassus and Tontaipur of the Indonesian Army are units able to conduct long-range reconnaissance patrolling including pathfinder and Special reconnaissance operations.[4]
ItalyEdit
Historically, airborne units are normally tasked with carrying, apart from the ordinary airborne assaults, deep infiltration small unit reconnaissance. After World War 2, during the Cold War, the main LRRP unit was the "Col Moschin" Parachute Assault Company (later battalion and then regiment). Another LRRP unit specialising as artillery observers were the 13th Gruppo Acquisizione Obiettivi "GRACO" (Target Acquisition Group, where "Group" is a definition of the Italian artillery indicating three batteries of guns, roughly a battalion sized unit) of the 3rd Missile Brigade "Aquileia", and especially the Batteria Acquisizione Obiettivi "Pipistrelli" (Target Acquisition Battery "Bats"), a company-sized fully airborne LRRP unit composed of artillery soldiers that trained at the I-LRRP school of Weingarten. This group later was incorporated in the Folgore Airborne Brigade, becoming the 185th Reggimento Ricognizione Acquisizione Obiettivi (Reconnaissance and Target Acquisition Regiment).
KenyaEdit
The Kenya Defence Forces has one LRS unit based in Nairobi. This unit shares LRP missions with the Special Forces Group.
NetherlandsEdit
The Korps Commandotroepen and NLMARSOF are LRRP capable. During the Cold War, the Korps Commandotroepen were known as Waarneming en Verkenning Compagnie (observation and reconnaissance company) and specialized in staying behind enemy lines. NLMARSOF's C-Squadron consists of two special recon units: Mountain Leaders and Special Forces Underwater Operators.[5]
NorwayEdit

The Norwegian Army has LRRP operations dating back to the 1960s, Fjernoppklaring (remote reconnaissance). It was split in two, creating a new group of airborne special forces, Hærens Jegerkommando, and the current LRRP unit Fjernoppklaringseskadronen. Fjernoppklaringseskadronen is part of Brigade Nord under Etterretningsbataljonen (Military Intelligence Battalion).
PortugalEdit
Presently, in the Portuguese Army, LRRP operations are carried out by the long-range reconnaissance unit of the Special Operations Force.
The Special Actions Detachment of the Portuguese Navy also carries out LRRP missions, mainly in the scope of amphibious operations.
From 1983 to 1993, the Portuguese Army Comando Regiment included the REDES Company, a specialist LRRP unit.
SerbiaEdit
LRRP units within the Serbian Army Special Brigade and 72nd Reconnaissance Commando Battalion have been operating since 1992.
Sri LankaEdit
Main article: Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (Sri Lanka)
Long-range reconnaissance patrols of the Armed forces of Sri Lanka have played a notable role in Sri Lanka's multi-phase military campaign against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). LRRP members attached to Special Mission units of the Sri Lankan Army have been most successful in carrying out assassinations on high-ranking members of the LTTE.[6] The LRRP concept was developed by Major Sreepathi Gunasekara who formed a special recon unit named 'Delta Patrols' in 1986 which later evolved into a highly secretive SF LRRP battalion. Special mission units such as the 3rd Commando Regiment and the 3rd Army Special Forces Regiment have Specialized LRRP battalions. There are also LRRP units attached to Infantry battalions.
Until the end of the war, the government kept their very existence under wraps.
United KingdomEdit

The Honourable Artillery Company[7] and its regular sister unit, 4/73 (Sphinx) Special Observation Post Battery RA, currently operate in this role.[8][9]
During the Second World War, the Long Range Desert Group performed long-range reconnaissance and raiding during the North African Campaign and during the Cold War, the Corps Patrol Unit (CPU) consisted of 21 and 23 SAS and the HAC.[10][11][12]
United StatesEdit
The predecessor of the U.S. Army's LRRP teams was the U.S. Sixth Army Special Reconnaissance Unit, better known as the Alamo Scouts. In the South West Pacific Theater of Operations, the Alamo Scouts conducted over 110 intelligence gathering missions behind enemy lines throughout New Guinea and the Philippines during 1944-45.[13] General Walter Krueger established the Alamo Scouts Training Center to train candidates in long-range reconnaissance patrol techniques, including rubber boat handling, intelligence gathering, report writing, scouting and patrolling, jungle navigation, communications, weapons training, and camouflage. Of those that successfully completed the rigorous course, 138 became full-time Alamo Scouts, while the others returned to their units to serve as reconnaissance troops. After Japan's surrender, the Alamo Scouts Training Center was closed down and the unit was disbanded. In 1988, the U.S. Army retroactively awarded members of the Alamo Scouts the Special Forces tab due to their wartime record and the techniques they pioneered.[14]
In GermanyEdit
The modern US Army long-range reconnaissance patrol concept was created in 1956 by the 11th Airborne Division in Augsburg, Germany. They patrolled near the Czechoslovakian and East German borders, then members of the Communist Warsaw Pact states, and in event of war in Europe would be inserted behind enemy lines to provide surveillance and to select targets of opportunity. The LRRP concept was well known throughout the Army though concentrated in 7th Army in Germany. Provisional LRRP Companies made up of both trained LRRPs and regular soldiers were put together for a series of exercises called Wintershield and proved themselves in the field. After the 11th Airborne Division returned to the US, the Department of the Army authorized two Airborne LRRP companies in 1961, Company D and C in the Wildflecken and Nellingen Barracks (near Stuttgart), and were respectively assigned to V Corps and VII Corps. In 1963, V Corps LRRPs (Company D) transferred to the Gibbs Kaserne in Frankfurt near Corps HQ.[1][15] In 1965, these companies developed the first LRRP Table of Organization and Equipment and in doing so increased their strength to 208 men, team size from 4 to 5 men, as well as adding an organic transport component. All LRRPs from team leader and above were to be Ranger qualified. The experiences of these two companies formed the basis of the first US Army LRRP manual. Both companies used carrier wave (Morse Code) radios including the AN/TRC-77 for long-range communications to their respective Corps G2 (Intelligence) center. In 1968, both companies were transferred to the United States, but neither were sent to Vietnam because they retained their status as LRRP units for V and VII Corps in the event of war in Europe.[1][16]
All LRRPs were Rangered on 1 February 1969, and these two units (companies C and D) respectively became Bravo and Alpha Company, 75th Infantry (Ranger). They were the only Ranger units to remain on active duty at the end of the Vietnam War and they continued in service until November 1974 when they were disbanded with most of their personnel forming the core of the new 1st and 2nd Ranger Battalions.[1]
In ItalyEdit
In the 1960s, the U. S. Army Southern European Task Force (SETAF) utilized the Airborne Recon Platoon of the 1st Combat Aviation Company (Provisional) located in Verona, Italy. They provided reconnaissance missions as well as target acquisition and battle damage assessment for SETAF which was a missile command.[17]
The Airborne Recon Platoon was a LRRP unit that served as the "eyes and ears" for SETAF. During the period of 1961-62 Lieutenant James D. James commanded the platoon. Three years later in 1965 when Captain James served in Vietnam with the 1st Cavalry Division he utilized much of the tactics, structure, and doctrine of the Airborne Recon Platoon when creating Company E, 52nd Infantry (LRP). Captain James retired from the army as a colonel.[17][18]
In VietnamEdit
April 1968. LRPs at LZ Stud near Khe Sanh combat base, Vietnam.
In December 1965, the 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, formed a LRRP platoon, and by April 1966, the 1st Infantry Division, 25th Infantry Division and each of the four Battalions of the 173rd Airborne Brigade formed LRRP units as well.[16][19] On 8 July 1966, General William Westmoreland authorized the formation of a (LRRP) unit in each infantry brigade or division in Vietnam. By 1967 formal LRRP companies were organized, most having three platoons, each with five six-man teams equipped with VHF/FM AN/PRC-25 radios. LRRP training was notoriously rigorous and team leaders were often graduates of the U.S. Army's 5th Special Forces Recondo School in Nha Trang, Vietnam.[1][20]
Tiger Force was the nickname of a long-range reconnaissance patrol unit[21] of the 1st Battalion (Airborne), 327th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade (Separate), 101st Airborne Division, which fought in the Vietnam War.[22] Their high bodycounts were recognized and encouraged by military officials. Their commander Col. Morse ordered troops to rack up a body count of 327 casualties in order to match the battalion's infantry designation, 327th; by the end of the campaign soldiers were congratulated for their 1000th kill.[23]
The platoon-sized unit, approximately 45 paratroopers, was founded by Colonel David Hackworth in November 1965 to "outguerrilla the guerrillas".[24] Tiger Force (Recon) 1/327th was a highly decorated small unit in Vietnam, and paid for its reputation with heavy casualties.[25] In October 1968, Tiger Force's parent battalion was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation by President Lyndon B. Johnson, which included a mention of Tiger Force's service at Đắk Tô in June 1966.[26]
Since satellite communications were a thing of the future, one of the most daring long-range penetration operations of the war was launched by members of Company E, 52nd Infantry (LRP) of the 1st Air Cavalry Division, against the North Vietnamese Army when they seized "Signal Hill" the name attributed to the peak of Dong Re Lao Mountain, a densely forested 4,879-foot mountain, midway in A Shau Valley, so its 1st and 3rd Brigades, who would be fighting behind a wall of mountains, could communicate with Camp Evans near the coast or with approaching aircraft.[27]
July 1968. Two 1st Cavalry Division LRP teams, Quang Tri, Vietnam.
The US Marine Corps also performed long-range reconnaissance missions typically assigned to Marine Recon, especially Force Recon at the corps-level (i.e., Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF)) level, as opposed to the Battalion Recon units answering to battalion commanders. Marine Recon teams typically were twice as large as Army LRRPs and were more heavily armed, however, sacrificing a degree of stealth. In addition, the Marines did not employ indigenous Montagnards as front and rear scouts as Army LRRPs and Special Forces teams did which proved invaluable in confusing the enemy if contact was made.[1][28] The tactical employment of LRRPs was later evaluated to be generally used far too dangerously by commanders, who were pleased by the kill ratios of LRRPs teams (reported as high as 400 enemy troops for every LRRP killed). Writes one commentator: "During the course of the war Lurps conducted around 23,000 long-range patrols, of this amount two-thirds resulted in enemy sightings." LRRPs also accounted for approximately 10,000 enemy KIA through ambushes, air strikes, and artillery.
In February 1969, all US Army LRRP units were folded into the newly formed 75th Infantry Regiment (Ranger), a predecessor of the 75th Ranger Regiment, bringing back operational Ranger units for the first time since the Korean War. The Army had disbanded Ranger units after Korea, but kept Ranger School, on the premise that spreading Ranger School graduates throughout the Army would improve overall performance. The initial Ranger companies formed in 1969 were: "A" V Corps Rangers, Fort Hood, Texas; "B" VII Corps Rangers, Fort Lewis, Washington; "C" I Field Forces, Vietnam; "D" II Field Forces, Vietnam; "E" 9th Infantry Division, Vietnam; F 25th Infantry Division, Vietnam; "G" 23rd Infantry Division, Vietnam; "H" 1st Cavalry Division, Vietnam; "I" 1st Infantry Division, Vietnam; "K" 4th Infantry Division, Vietnam; "L" 101st Airborne Division, Vietnam; "M" 199th Light Infantry Brigade, Vietnam; "N" 173rd Airborne Brigade, Vietnam; "O" 3rd Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division, Vietnam; "P" 1st Brigade, 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized), Vietnam; "D/151" Indiana National Guard; and "F/425 " Michigan National Guard.[29][1]
As the Vietnam War matured, I Field Force LRRPs widened their area of operation to include I Corps and II Corps, and II Field Force LRRPs respectively included III Corps and IV Corps.[30]
The legacy of LRRP units also continues on in the U.S. Army's Long Range Surveillance (both detachments and companies) and Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition squadrons.

On September 13, 2018 we were asked to speak to the Memphis Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP). The monthly luncheon was held, appropriately, at the National Civil Rights Museum. We share these remarks as we believe they are important to all of us who care about Memphis in specific, and fundraising and the nonprofit sector as a whole.
Thank you for your openness, for this conversation, and the opportunity to be together as fundraising professionals to officially start our chapter's conversation on inclusion, diversity, equity, and access. My hope is that these comments will add to the conversation we have begun, and that the conversation will continue amongst ourselves, within our organizations, and across our city.
We were honored when we received a call from Kelsey Hamilton, the chair of the programming committee, inviting us to speak today. We are delighted to be here with you.
As you may or may not be aware, we are a husband-and-wife team, operating a fundraising consulting business that works locally and nationwide. Melvin is African American, Memphis born and raised, though he left Memphis in 1968, a time he describes politely as "tense." I'm from New York. My mother immigrated from Egypt in her early 20s. My father is white. Mel and I met, married, and started our business in the very diverse San Francisco Bay Area. When we decided to move to Memphis, we had to pause and ask, "Will people accept us?" We didn't know what Memphis would think of us as a mixed-race couple, or how our business would be accepted.
We have found that the Memphis we live in is very different from the Memphis of 1968. We have been welcomed by diverse leaders from across the city. We write a fundraising column in the local paper — the Memphis Daily News, soon to become the Daily Memphian. And the paper runs our picture with our column. You'll hear in a moment why that is an important part of our story. We have worked with black-led organizations, traditionally white organizations, faith-based organizations, social justice groups, Latino Memphis, OUT Memphis, the city, private businesses, and philanthropy here and across the country.
I mention our experiences, because we have to grapple with the issues of inclusion, diversity, equity, and access. We grapple with these within our business, in the market, with our clients, and between ourselves as a couple and a family. And we are constantly learning, constantly growing.
Inclusion, diversity, equity, and access have to become a part of our capacity and infrastructure. These have to be part of how we build our programs and organizations, how we interact with each other, and how we allocate our resources. Our organizations have to represent the diversity of who we serve — and we have to stretch to serve all aspects of our community.
Think about the time, research, and energy that goes into identifying, cultivating, soliciting, and retaining the major donors who support your organization. Those who provide leadership gifts may have been giving for years or decades. They may have been engaged and cultivated over the years by people who no longer with the organization. Or, they may be new to your organization because you took the time to find them, cultivate them, and uncover shared values or relationships. You have to do put the same energy and attention into inclusion, diversity, equity, and access.
A commitment to inclusion, diversity, equity, and access starts with an organization's vision and is made manifest through policies and practices. Our commitment is made manifest through who we hire, the projects we focus on, the collaborations we create, and how we develop our boards.
As leaders, we need to check our "tolerance for intolerance." We need to examine our implicit and explicit biases. We need to examine and modify our policies and practices. It is time for us to increase the ways in which we hold each other accountable — within our organizations and within our sector. There are no easy answers — there is only a way forward that is together.
Inclusive fundraising invites more people to the table. Inclusive practices encourage us to ask who is missing, and to take action to invite others in. And it means we follow up on our invitations with actions that encourage new members to share their highest talents, their relationships, their experiences, and priorities.
Here are six specific actions that you and the leadership of your organizations – and our chapter – can take as we move forward.
When seeking to increase diversity, look at the composition of the organization as a whole, not just the fundraising team.
Take time to consciously build a qualified and diverse team. Think about your expectations. Do you want someone to be the "gay employee"? Or do you want an accountant who brings his top game to work on a daily basis? Think about the match — or mismatch — between who you hire and who you serve.
Build pipelines for advancement within your organization.
It is not okay for executive and fundraising leadership to be white and for African Americans to deliver services and provide administrative support. Create pipelines to leadership that include authority, decision-making, fundraising, and other forms of revenue generation.
Engage people from diverse backgrounds to participate as board members, advisers, and fundraising volunteers.
Bring new members onto the board in diverse cohorts and beware of creating a situation where one person becomes representative of a race, gender, or ethnicity. Create an onboarding process that shares information about the organization, its priorities, fundraising, and finances so that all members have access to information, not just those who already know someone on the board. Create "board buddies" so that each new board member has someone who can help them navigate and understand the written and unwritten rules of the board.
Review policies and practices to learn what formal or informal barriers to employment may be in place.
For example, are the educational requirements for specific positions a job-related requirement or a barrier? What about years as a "fundraising professional?" Could sales experience, volunteer fundraising, or entrepreneurial experience provide comparable skills? Does the time or location of meetings create barriers for fundraising volunteers?
As we build the diversity within our staff and boards we need to engage our donors as well.
Share your vision for inclusion, diversity, equity and access with your donors, especially your major donors. Talk about why it is important and the steps you are taking. Encourage them to ask questions. Ask for their guidance, suggestions, and participation. Don't let silence pass for acceptance. Create opportunities for long time donors to meet with and get to know your new donors. As you bring on new staff leadership make sure that your board schedules time for your major donors to meet your new leaders. As we increase the diversity of our organizations we must retain the long-time support of donors who have invested in our nonprofits and who believe in Memphis. This is not about "us and them." This is about all of us.
As fundraisers we want to increase the diversity of our donors so that we increase support for the mission and vision of the organizations we represent. We want to build a spirit of inclusion, a valuing of diversity, and a welcoming spirit amongst all our donors.
With opportunities to "truly know each other" across differences, donor circles, donor receptions, and nonprofit activities can be a unique space where one of the "benefits of giving" is the ability to participate within a diverse community of peers. We want to live our values in how we treat our donors, how we bring them together, and in how we create equity when offering opportunities and visibility.
We have primarily focused on encouraging inclusion, diversity, equity, and access amongst our donors, staff, and leadership. Equally important, but often overlooked, is the economic impact of our decisions and how inclusion, diversity, equity, and access need to be included when we spend the money we raise. Who are our accountants, building contractors, endowment managers, event planners, real estate agents, and insurance representatives? Who provides graphic design services, janitorial services and supplies, technology equipment, services, training, and support? Who do we buy office supplies from? Who provides the food or snacks? Who do we bank with? If our organizations serve black people, are we willing to bank with Tri-State Bank, a Memphis-based black-owned bank?
In closing, we ask that all of us ask the question, what does diversity look like for our chapter? Who do we — individually and collectively — want to become? What do we want to be known for? We have the opportunity as members and leaders to invite people to our meetings. We get to ask ourselves, who do we consider to be a fundraiser? Who are we serving? Is our commitment to our members or to Memphis? Is there a difference and should there be one? We have seen the growth of the Memphis Chapter and the vitality of its members when we participate. The change process is in motion and we are all a part of it.
In closing, inclusion, diversity, equity, and access have to be at the heart of who we are — these are not an additional area to check in on. They are vital to our sustainability — and the sustainability of our region and country. These are not Republican ideals or Democratic visions. These are human values.
Thank you for welcoming us. Thank you for this opportunity. We encourage each of you — and all of us — to continue this dialog with our peers, within our organizations, and within our chapter. Thank you.

Michelle Le's Family, Police Respond to Dateline Report
Many elements in the Dateline special were not known to the general public
By Stephanie Chuang	• Published January 11, 2013 • Updated on January 11, 2013 at 11:55 pm
It's a Bay Area story that's had national eyes on it since the beginning – the murder of 26-year-old Michelle Le, a nursing student who first disappeared from the Kaiser Permanente parking garage in Hayward in May 2011.
Dateline NBC producers have been in touch with the Le family and with Hayward Police, the lead investigators, for the more than year-and-a-half that have gone by.
Friday night, NBC aired the two-hour special that, for the first time, revealed footage from convicted killer Giselle Esteban's interrogations.
One portion of it went as follows:
Insp. Madrid: You don't like her.
Ms. Esteban: Yeah. That's evident. That's very clear.
Insp. Madrid: How would you classify your dislike for her?
Ms. Esteban: How -- what do you mean? I just dislike her. I don't --
Insp. Madrid: I mean, do you hate her? Do you want to see something bad happen to her?

Ms. Esteban: No. I just want her to stay away from my child.
And she went the distance in thinking up the murder.
Inspector Fraser Ritchie with Hayward Police was the first to speak with Esteban after Michelle disappearance, describing her as both cooperative and annoyed.
He said it was clear Esteban was lying right away. "She stated she did see Michelle at Kaiser Hospital in Hayward the night before on the 27th. She stated she had never had conversation with her or anything like that but as we kept talking to her she would fabricate information," Fraser recalled.
"She actually said at one point – I said were you arguing with her – she says I don't remember. So right there she was telling me she was speaking with her and as the conversation progressed, we caught her in a few more lies."
He said that Esteban did everything from going to Samuel Merritt College in Oakland where Michelle was a student, trying to register for classes there, stole a lab coat and even a key card.
Police revealed the mounds of evidence and footage to Michelle's family on September 7, 2011 – the same day they arrested Esteban.
"Shocking and damning," described Krystine Dinh, Michelle's cousin.
"She had called the university several times, called different departments in the university to figure out Michelle's schedule.
So, that amount of premeditation and conscious thinking behind her murder was really shocking." Perhaps the hardest part was watching the footage of Michelle walking to the parking garage at Kaiser – the last place she was seen.
"We never found out the cause of death because it was out of camera view, but it's hard," Dinh explained. "You really just want to go into the screen, grab her and protect her. You know those last minutes of her life were really hard to see."
The Le family members haven't spoken with Esteban and say there's no desire to, especially after they said she showed no hint of remorse or shadow of guilt – all the way up to a month ago when Esteban was sentenced to 25 years to life.
For people like Dinh, the way forward is keeping Michelle's legacy alive by helping the countless other families who are struggling with the same kind of nightmare.
"Hopefully one family out there who has their loved one missing won't feel so alone."
Below is an interview with Dateline reporter Keith Morrison about his two hour special.

Attracting over 8 million visitors a year, the Palace of Versailles is one of France's most popular tourist destinations.
Originally a hunting lodge for Louis XIII, the residence was transformed under this son Louis XIV into an immense and extravagant complex surrounded by stylized French and English gardens, to become one of the greatest achievements in French 17th century art.
The Marble Courtyard
At the heart of the first building constructed by Louis XIII, the Marble Courtyard, named for the distinctive black and white marble tiles that adorn the terrace floor, is characterized by the contrasting colors of its materials: red brick, white stone and grey slate, highlighted with gold decoration.
Louis XIV (1638 - 1715), known as Louis the Great (Louis le Grand) or the Sun King (le Roi Soleil), was King of France from 1643 until his death in 1715. He is represented here on the equestrian bronze statue at the entrance of the Palace of Versailles. Exceptionally we decided to use a color never used before for the horse, saddle, sword and hair.
The idea behind this project is to create a series that focuses on HISTORY, combining a monument landmark and the Minifig of the most important historical figure behind it.
Next entry will be the Petit Trianon within the parc of Versailles, and the famous queen Marie Antoinette.
This project is a collaborative work by ACE CROISSY and NEW BRICK CITY. This work has the latter's explicit permission.


How are you supposed to react when the dermatologist essentially says, "Damn, woman, that flabby chin makes you look ancient"?
It was a Friday morning, and my regular dermatologist was booked up. I felt certain I couldn't survive the weekend with the rash that was itching me to the brink of insanity, so I asked her office if an associate could see me. Bingo—someone was available if I could hustle right over. Hustle I did.
A female doctor (I pegged her to be a bit older than me…late 50s maybe) with a gentle demeanor examined my rash and prescribed a cream. Yay! An itch-free weekend awaited.
She hesitated before leaving the room. She peered at me over the top of her glasses. She smiled and pursed her lips as if about to say something but no words came out.
"Sure," I replied with a big fake grin plastered on my face. The exact opposite of what I was feeling. In my book, "Don't want you to take it the wrong way" is akin to "No offense, but…" You know when someone says that, they are about to say something horrendously offensive.
"Well, your chin….wouldn't you like to, um, help it?" she asked.
Defiantly exposing her chin for inspection, she then swiveled on her wheelie doctor stool, grabbing a brochure and blathering about this new product that would make my jawline younger, tauter, more attractive.
My smile grew defensively bigger. Determined not to show her how shocked I was (people-pleaser that I am), I focused on the brochure's before and afters, listened to her spiel on the special introductory pricing, and exited the office, thanking her for sharing this information.
My pudgy chin and I go back a long way. It was there with me when I was a toothpick-thin teenager. It was there catching the light (and not in a good way) in college photos. It was there with me on my wedding day when the makeup artist said she'd do a tad of contouring to "try to highlight my jawline" (glargh, the pain of that try). It has increasingly been here with me as I age and my body decides it's done producing things like elastin and collagen, thank you very much.
I truly thought I had made peace with my chin until this derm called me out.
This was the first time I'd been confronted so directly about the fact that I was aging and should address my sub-par appearance. Yes, I'd had friends ask if I wanted to join them for Botox injections, but this was a medical professional telling me she noticed a problem and could help. Clearly, I'd just tumbled deep into the well of Middle-Aged Womanhood.
Clearly, I'd just tumbled deep into the well of Middle-Aged Womanhood.
I thought about what she was offering: to preserve a younger appearance. Everybody else is doing it, right?
But lately I've been troubled by how none of us women look real anymore. It's getting harder and harder to see evidence of an unadulterated 50- or 60-something woman in the media. I recently came across a photo of the beautiful 70-year-old Susan Sarandon and wondered if she looks younger than I do. She might.
Should I Take the Bait and Inject My Midlife Double Chin?
Obviously, we're entering an era where there's a cream, a shot, a youth-ifying procedure for almost anything. Soon, there will be tools to preserve the illusion that we're age 40 forever.
But that doesn't mean we have to take the bait. Yes, I spent a dreamy coffee break imagining what it would be like to have a taut chin. But then the injection struck me as a gateway drug to fillers and all manner of things that might make me look younger—but a younger version of someone else. It wouldn't be me anymore, with my body going through this mysterious journey, following the path of every other human walking forward. Showing that I'd been through those years in which career, partnership, and parenthood had flowered, and was now gliding into new terrain.
I spent a dreamy coffee break imagining what it would be like to have a taut chin.
Nope. If I got the shot, it would be a chemically enhanced version of my face that every day would say to me in the mirror, Since I don't like you as you are, I did what I could to make you look like you used to. Because those were your best years, and they are behind you.
So if anyone in my family is reading this and wonders what I want for my birthday, it's not to a syringe full of fat-dissolving fluid shot into my chin. Not this year, at any rate. It's a weekend upstate, laughing in the sunlight. Walking through a meadow. Having cookies and iced coffee with my husband and kids. My chin may not look picture-perfect in any photos that we take, but I'm okay with that.
Interesting. What exactly is Facercise. All those little strokes and pats, etc? It works?
Hey Sheila. Thanks for joining the conversation. Love hearing your thoughts.
I think it's great that someone feels confident with themselves….I don't have alot of complaints but I am a fan of an occasional injection, and I'm scared of needles! But this is something I do totally for ME. It is nice when someone says, you look different, I don't know what it is but you look good! I just like looking refreshed and if I'm happy with what I see in the mirror…that's what matters!
in not always a fan of plastic surgery. I don't think it ages well. But the chin procedure is awesome.
Lovely, lovely, Kimberly Cihlar Here's another icon for aging boldly. Love everything about Judi Dench. Her spirit. Her looks, being fine with wrinkles. Anyone else have someone they think is aging well.
Fantastic article by Janet Siroto! For me (and Nora Ephron!), it's always been about my neck. In the past few years, though, I've decided I want to channel Louise Bourgeois in her aging beauty, as she appears here in this shot from Annie Leibovitz. THAT'S my Age Boldly ideal!
I have loved every article !
I am who I am. I do not need to look like I did at 20 or even 30. I am no longer that person and it's not a bad thing .

ILLINOIS — In his senior year, Adrian Arrington was hit so hard during a football game that he stumbled sideways to the sideline. A few minutes later, his coach was ready to put him back in the game that Eastern Illinois was playing against Austin Peay.
Arrington's dad, who knew his son was already suffering weekly seizures, migraines and blackouts from previous concussions on the field, ran down from the stands, confronting the football staff on the bench.
That 2009 game was Arrington's last.
He later became a lead plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit against the NCAA — a lawsuit that the two sides agreed to settle Tuesday.
If a federal judge accepts Tuesday's settlement, submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, coaches would be prohibited from doing what they almost did to Arrington.
The deal would force the NCAA to change the way teams handle players who suffer head injuries and would prevent an athlete with a concussion from returning to play the same day.
A 2010 NCAA survey of collegiate sport trainers found that half of trainers returned athletes to the same game in which they were concussed.
"It will change college sports forever, and that is really the goal," said Joseph Siprut, Arrington's attorney.
The settlement also includes $70 million for screening for athletes who suspect brain injuries, and $5 million for research.
Plaintiffs like Arrington will continue to pursue their personal injury claims against the NCAA in court. That part was not settled.
Arrington's class-action suit now includes almost 30 athletes from many universities and several contact sports. Some of them played as far back as the 1970s.
All of them have stories like his — they all suffer the long-term effects of head injuries, and all fear what their future might hold.
Arrington, who is 28, hasn't been able to hold a job since he graduated.
• Streamlined testing, which is inconsistent at universities.
• No same-day return to play.
• A requirement for contact sports to have medical staff with concussion training at games.
• Concussion tracking, and mandated reporting to the NCAA.
• Concussion education for athletes.
• The establishment of a concussion-related research fund.
The lawsuit is a consolidation of 13 different suits, all filed in federal court.
Most of the plaintiffs are football players. A few played soccer, and a few are wrestlers.
"Somehow we've gotten to a point, the NCAA, charged with representing interests of players, has left them flapping in the wind," Siprut said. The NCAA was created in 1905 by President Theodore Roosevelt, who was concerned about the safety of football and wanted an organization to make it safer.
Judge John Lee still has to approve the settlement, which could happen in the next few months, possibly before the end of the 2014-15 football season.
The NCAA is an absurd parasite clamped to the cerebrum of college athletics, impairing thought and turning smart people into gibbering zombies intoxicated by false virtue and real dollars.
These are not my words but I can't agree more. FYI ISU football coaches annual salary is $1.6 million/year plus other expenses. He has a charity ride for Alzheimer's every year because his mother suffered from it not because he promotes and coaches a sport that is a leading factor to so many young people receiving head injuries. I assume he has seen first hand what Alzheimer's does to the brain, yet he lives in denial. Or maybe he's just into to the sport for the big bucks. There is something wrong with that either way.


...or IOTA, which your fridge and your toaster will use.
This article drives home the fact that blockchain is still new and it might not be ready for prime time use by businesses yet if a game can slow it down this much. Thanks for posting that.
For the stock video and photo industry perhaps a traditional peer to peer network would be better then, lets call it StockWire for the sake of this discussion, everyone has their content on their own drives, there is this app that allows customers to search for titles and keywords, preview the clip and then add it to the download folder and upon pressing download button this is were you would be stopped and asked for payment, once payment is made the download takes place and payment is sent to the vendor.
Exactly like how Limewire used to work except with a payment option for buyers, the operators of the app would take a small percentage but considering that the files are stored locally on artists own drives we don't have the massive storage costs on AWS or server farms, we don't need expensive offices and all that many staff so there would be a lot less overhead in running the operation decentralized like this.
Key is to have it super easy to search, pay and download for the customers, just like they have it with the current sites and similarly for the content producers. Customers aren't gonna do anything from the command line so this needs to be super easy and simple and work on desktop/laptop and mobile flawlessly or the customers will not like it and not use it.
Peer to Peer just might be the way to go and maybe skip blockchain for now until it's ready or if someone wants to do an ICO and raise millions that might work too but conventional peer to peer would be fine.
This way prices could stay the same but artists could keep more of their hard earned money, right now we give up 50-75% or more of our earnings to the agencies.
As for what prices the buyer would have to pay, depends on the artist, they would set their own prices for various content and the buyers can decide what they want and can afford to pay and the agencies have massive costs but the end result is this is not sustainable as a business any longer for the suppliers.
This might also make things more secure in come cases, there has been ongoing incidents of theft of video and photos from these big agencies with their "IT teams", same with how many other big firms? Equifax anyone?, the average artist would probably have better security on their laptops than these companies and they are smaller harder to find targets for the bad guys.
I haven't been hacked yet or gotten one virus/malware in my life, my secret?, religiously do my operating system updates and my security software updates, I literally check for updates manually twice a day. So now if I do happen to click on something bad it gets blocked real quick, I also turn off things like webRTC, and of course the SMB protocol I have turned off to protect against many of the ransomware variants, there are a few other things but I can't remember but I'm just one person, not a professional security team.
I think a feasibility study is in order.
"For the stock video and photo industry perhaps a traditional peer to peer network would be better then, lets call it StockWire for the sake of this discussion, everyone has their content on their own drives, there is this app that allows customers to search for titles and keywords, preview the clip"
We already had this (hosted on your own website). It was called symbiostock. Buyers didn't really care. I don't really know if I want the world accessing my computer to download things.
Read the thread properly and you will see it is not feasable, no quality control, no indemnity and no security, no offence, but why would I trust you?
Limewire worked because the data was on dozens or hundreds of computers and because internet speeds were grindingly slow you lose one node the others took over. You could never guarentee that a bookmarked image would be available on demand with your peer to peer system.
All valid points and good to discuss, on the issue of security I disagree, I mean just look at the massive thefts from shutterstock and other sites, I think some of us have better security on our local drives than these big companies.
The indemnity problem is also a problem with all these free sites and sites selling stolen content, I am pretty sure people who are obtaining content illegally from those sites in the first place aren't too worried about obeying the law.
As for everything else, obviously there it's a lot more involved but one thing is for sure and that is the status quo is not working, sales dropping across the board to new lows every month, every year, cuts in commissions via all these new and exciting ways to make less money.....it's not working. So the question is, what would work?.
What would work?, can it be done?, how do we do it or a potential new player in the industry do it with a different and lower cost technology?. Current business model is broken for us and the agencies as well or they wouldn't be in a race to the bottom but in a race to raise prices as high as the market will bear.
It is very possible that it's game over as far as making a living at this, change is happening so fast these days my head is spinning and many industries are simply going away.
But the time is over for shooting down any and all ideas, we need to figure out what if anything....will work.
Speaking of security, not two minutes after my last post I saw a lengthy thread in the SS forum about some new fraud outfit called foundstock giving away the entire SS database, apparently due to a bug or hacking of the API that links them to Facebook.
And how many of these sites have these new and exciting partner programs that give us the opportunity to lose more money incrementally by opening up the database to large volume buyers with deep pockets who otherwise couldn't afford to pay regular prices?. Well the hacking has started and entire databases are now wide open and content flowing out for free. I trust the security of my laptop more than any of these big companies these days and not just stock sites.
At this rate we will all be out of business soon, you can't compete with free and these big companies like SS have many millions of files that are now available for free download so why would anyone pay?
In addition to a new business model for this industry a new security protocol is needed but it's not always technology at fault it often humans, when access is given to these global partners and whatever the security of the database ends right there, you don't know know how the partner companies have configured their databases and what security they have in place, they may even say "we take your security seriously" but unless you personally configured everything you don't know.
Recently in the news it was reported that the department of national defense left hundreds of thousands of files on an AWS server.....with no password and there was another private company that was just hacked and same thing, 50 million+ pieces of customer data sitting on a well configured server but with no password.
I'm trusting these companies less my the minute.
If developers are interested, much of the work has already be done, in the open-source OpenBazaar project.
Maybe some tweaks are needed for stock photography and a search engine.
Payment is always in cryptocurrencies.
I assume eventually someone will do it. Then, in a few years, when clients learn about the search engine and get more accustomed with cryptocurrencies, it will never be the same.
Internet has removed the first generation of intermediaries, peer-to-peer blockchain technology will remove the second generation.
It's not even a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
A very interesting thread for a newbie like me.
I'm reading the features in their site, looks like they only accept crypto money and no Paypal?
Well, yes, that is kind of the whole point of it.
Wanted to share some updates about WireStock.
We recently launched our company website and the first version of the white paper ( in depth description of the project). Please check it out at wirestock.org . We tried to incorporate a lot of your previous feedback and questions into our vision.
Further feedback would be appreciated.
p.s. We also started working on the prototype version and will share with you as soon it is done.

Please try the link again or click here wirestock.org. Something went wrong with the formatting on the forum should work now.
Where is your Team/Company located? Yerevan, Armenia?
Mike Snaps, not sure about block chain but I will give you an idea that might work. Work on AI and find out what the customer wants before the customer knows what they want. Talk to Facebook I think they are selling this kind of info. Although I think Zuck is in for a ride next week with congress.
We are actually going to use AI and Machine Learning. A lot of our R&D efforts will go into automation of image curation and selection processes using machine learning and computer vision technologies whereas blockchain is necessary for image copyright protection and direct trading/licensing.
Are you creating your own tokens? How is it based on Etherium?
Say ETH was $850 in March and now it's $400, would someone who bought tokens in March be paying a higher price for the same work than someone who bought tokens yesterday. How about the artists. We get paid in tokens with a moving value? How do we turn them back into local currency that we can spend, to avoid value changes?
If we got paid in March and didn't immediately convert the tokens, then we would have lost half our pay.
Can you explain better how STOKEN will hold a value and when you said through Etherium blockchain, will we have MetaMask wallets for example or what?
Yes, STOKEN (STK) is an Ethereum-based utility token and we have solutions for the important questions you have raised.
1. Setting the prices: The prices of images will be set by contributors, with an ability to set the prices in fiat currencies (usd, euro, and etc.) which will be maintained in the system regardless of the fluctuations in the stoken price. This way, the contributor will be able to fix the price in a fiat currency although transactions will be in STK.
2. For registered contributors, withdrawal of STK will be possible at any time directly on our website as well as on third party exchanges. Users will be able to convert their stokens into ethers or bitcoins for any amount and to fiat currencies (usd, eur) in case of large withdrawals given stokens are earned through content licensing/sales. A similar solution will be used when onboarding image buyers who do not have stokens yet.
3. The value of stokens will depend on the demand for images offered through WireStock. Users will be able to use their metmask wallets on WireStock.
Our core team is based in Dubai, UAE.
While i do believe there will be a disruptive breakthrough in the blockchain stock photo market. The question for me is, which one is going to offer me a return on my time uploading.
Photochain (although a noble project IMO) seems to be struggling to gain investments in its ICO. Although i suspect this to be due to the lack of incentives to investors (token only holds purchasing utility). How will you capture the interest of investors to garner enough funds for dev & mass marketing?
While our vision is to decentralize the stock image market and allow content creators to sell their content directly to buyers, we put tremendous focus on having a great product and providing outstanding user experience. We acknowledge the overall difficulty and challenges associated with actual usage of cryptocurrencies and blockchain based products. That is why it has been our goal to build a product where content buyer would enjoy shopping on not only because it is cheaper or more flexible but also because it provides seamless user experience just like on conventional websites. We are planning to achieve this by minimizing the requirements to interact with tokens for users who have not been exposed to crypto wallets and cryptocurrencies in general. We believe that you should not have to go to a cryptocurrency exchange if you just need to buy an image for your blog. The same approach will be used for content creators as mentioned in the above comment.
The other thing that differentiates us is the fact that we want to start with the community of stock photographers first. That is why we try to actively engage with you in this forum and other channels to have your inputs as we are building WireStock. In fact, your feedback so far has been superuseful and we hope to continue this discussion here. For example, we consid having a feature to allow buyers to request custom jobs or modifications from content creators. Would be awesome to hear your thoughts on this.
As the majority of the founding team members are from tech startup space and have experience raising funds for other startups, we are confident that we will be able to raise funds for WireStock. However, we try to talk to investors who are familiar with this space and understand the value of a decentralized marketplace for stock content. We try to stay away from typical speculative ICO investors and are looking for long term commitments.
Thanks r2d2! May the force with us!
Do you have a plan to challenge the EU-Vat?
Cheers Mike, appreciate the response.
The industry is in dire need of change.
I will be following your project closely.

SAN ANTONIO — Dec. 12, 2022 — A team of researchers from Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), NASA and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) have discovered web-like plasma structures in the Sun's middle corona. The researchers describe their innovative new observation method, imaging the middled corona in ultraviolet (UV) wavelength, in a new study published in Nature Astronomy. The findings could lead to a better understanding of the solar wind's origins and its interactions with the rest of the solar system.
Since 1995, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has observed the Sun's corona with the Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) stationed aboard the NASA and European Space Agency Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft to monitor space weather that could affect the Earth. But LASCO has a gap in observations that obscures our view of the middle solar corona, where the solar wind originates.
"We've known since the 1950s about the outflow of the solar wind. As the solar wind evolves, it can drive space weather and affect things like power grids, satellites and astronauts," said SwRI Principal Scientist Dr. Dan Seaton, one of the authors of the study. "The origins of the solar wind itself and its structure remain somewhat mysterious. While we have a basic understanding of processes, we haven't had observations like these before, so we had to work with a gap in information."
To find new ways to observe the Sun's corona, Seaton suggested pointing a different instrument, the Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI) on NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES), at either side of the Sun instead of directly at it and making UV observations for a month. What Seaton and his colleagues saw were elongated, web-like plasma structures in the Sun's middle corona. Interactions within these structures release stored magnetic energy propelling particles into space.
"No one had monitored what the Sun's corona was doing in UV at this height for that amount of time. We had no idea if it would work or what we would see," he said. "The results were very exciting. For the first time, we have high-quality observations that completely unite our observations of the Sun and the heliosphere as a single system."
Seaton believes these observations could lead to more comprehensive insights and even more exciting discoveries from missions like PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere), an SwRI-led NASA mission that will image how the Sun's outer corona becomes the solar wind.
"Now that we can image the Sun's middle corona, we can connect what PUNCH sees back to its origins and have a more complete view of how the solar wind interacts with the rest of the solar system," Seaton said. "Prior to these observations, very few people believed you could observe the middle corona to these distances in UV. These studies have opened up a whole new approach to observing the corona on a large scale."
The paper "Direct observations of a complex coronal web driving highly structured slow solar wind" appears in Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-022-01834-5

When people lose their hair, they will usually try almost anything to prevent further more hair loss. Sometimes, they even take treatments to risk their health.
Recently, HGH has become a popular tonic for healthy hair. Most users see improvement in the quality of their hair upon taking growth hormones. Other people stated their hair starts restoring to its original color and reported fully new hair growth.
Well, you now might be asking, can growth hormones really help the volume, radiance, and youthfulness of your hair.
In this article, you will discover a link between the use of HGH and hair health, you'll learn the effects of Human growth hormone for hair growth. So be sure to read on to know if its for you.
3 Does HGH For Hair Work?
First, let's look at the background of the problem. As age continues, the rate of hair fall overtakes the growth of brand new hair, thus lowering the density of hair. Genetics can even be blamed for hair loss and is 80% from the cases of balding among men.
The environmental elements also make contributions towards hair loss. External factors such as air pollution, bad diet, heat, cigarette smoking can be bad for your hair. These can lead to a condition known as Androgenetic Alopecia or baldness.
"Androgenetic Alopecia" is related to increase in the amount of DHT (Di-Hydro-Testosterone) which shortens the hair growth phase. Androgenic hormone testosterone is changed into DHT by an enzyme called the 5-alpha reductase. The DHT functions by destroying the hair in the crown and temple locations by making them thin and ultimately fall out. DHT is then unable to produce new hair and this leads to balding.
Fortunately, the discovery of hgh as hair loss treatment has helped many individuals with such problems. Human Growth Hormone inhibits the creation of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase responsible for the development of DHT on male growth hormone. As the amounts of DHT decrease in the head, thus hair loss and hair damage can also be considerably lowered.
Research way back to the 1990s have shown positive results on hair growth from human growth hormone therapy.
The Wisconsin Medical University executed a two-year study that ended in 1996, which tested human growth hormone on 300 individuals. Among the discoveries, 38 Percent of the subject matter said their hair color and texture was improved, while many of the subject areas also claimed healthier hair growth.
In another study, this one executed on rats at the Nationwide Centre for Biotechnology, human growth hormone injections stimulated the growth of hair follicles. The study discovered that existing hair follicles became engorged, while new follicles had been also shaped, suggesting the treatments can stimulate new hair growth.
The treatment options have been documented effective in healing receding hairlines, thinning in the hair, and rapid graying from the hair, as well as revitalizing regrowth. While considered a lot more subjective, so far as validating the potency of HGH, several subjects have said the treatments result in getting back their hair, making them feel and look just as much as 10 years younger.
Does HGH For Hair Work?
Using types of treatment on hair loss have already been limited by various elements, but human growth hormone hair growth treatments offer relief to more men and women.
This is because it treats the genetic problem that initiates hair loss by rejuvenating hormonal amounts in the body.
Basically, HGH remedies the problem to reinstate your body biochemistry to the status like it was in your adolescence. By turning back the clock in this manner, the treatment options bring your whole body back into the time before the hair loss was instigated.
Although genetics continue being the primary reason behind hair loss in men, it's not the sole contributory component. Pollution, bad diet, as well as a weakened immunity process, are just some of what can affect hair loss. Having said that, human growth hormone and injections offer the most promise in restoring hair to the former issue. Growth, color, and texture can all be enhanced through the injections.
Hair loss and baldness are attributed to the elevated degrees of DHT (di-hydro-androgenic hormone), which is a by-product of naturally occurring androgenic hormone or testosterone in the body.
DHT results in a significant amount are shortening the hair growth stage. This makes the hair brittle and lighter colored, which causes these people to fall out more quickly, than the typical rate. Depending on studies, 5-alpha-reductase is an enzyme that transforms testosterone into its dangerous by-product and attacks the hair follicles to result in hair damage.
DHT once established attaches by itself to androgen receptors located in the head. During the next phase, the DHT attaches to the androgen receptors which are based in the scalp of hair. This results from the destruction from the hair follicles that happen to be located throughout the front crown of the hair and also the temple place.
DHT first causes the hair follicles to thin out, and eventually, as they turn out to be thin, these hair follicles gradually fall out. Hair loss is an indicator of falling from the hair follicle, and new hair fails to regrow in the exact same area. Hair loss in men is a slow and genetically modulated approach.
However, the use of Human Growth Hormone influences the production of the naturally occurring enzyme in the body. The decrease in the formation with this enzyme subsequently reduces the conversion process of androgenic hormone or testosterone into DHT. The lowering of DHT within the scalp is viewed as an action in lessening hair loss and also endorsing the growth of brand new hair follicles.
📌Human growth hormone is beneficial to hair in all aspects. Human growth hormone is a natural hormone and acts in the direction of stimulating the creation of this hormone within your body.
Human growth hormone does not affect the production or even the functioning of testosterone. The products only stop the production of the enzyme which converts male growth hormone into its harmful by-product. Research and clinical studies claim that, regardless of the phase of hair loss, men have gained benefits from the use of Human growth hormone, and its continuing use, helps in the regrowth of thick and long hair.
In younger age, most people have full healthy, vibrant hair. Changes begin as soon as one gets old, with the majority of people begin to see changes in hair texture, color, and fullness until at some time between age thirty and fifty. When this occurs, the color may begin to turn to gray, bald places may appear, heavier hair can become slender, and the glow that was present start to require a variety of conditioners as well as other products.
The hair growth pattern begins with cells referred to as keratinocytes which produce keratin. A hair bulb forms on the base of any hair follicle, which is where these living cells separate and expand to build the hair shaft. Blood nourishes these cells by taking hormones that will help to help this process.
Growth hormone and IGF-1 help in this cell process. An increase will likely provide sufficient new cells to produce the hair to increase, strong, and thick. In addition, pigment cells that create melanin inside the follicle will likely start to perish with aging, and that's just how foliage and grey appears.
📌As an increase in cell regeneration occurs, the overall good quality of hair will improve. Lots of people have documented a regrowth of all-natural color after just six months of HGH therapy.
Human Growth Hormones has been dubbed as an elixir of youth as it's known to change signs of aging. Based on studies, use of HGH for hair growth can give you some positive results.
HGH help in hair growth There are a lot of people that have been doubtful about HGH, however, they're all astounded by the results after use. Some of those suffering from significant hair loss have claimed they have all their hair again.
Just an HGH dose for hair growth and you'll literally have your hair again. This does not only work for men suffering from receding hairlines and baldness. You can use Human growth hormone if you're a woman with hair loss as well.
HGH help you against premature hair greying. Unlike hair chemical dyes which support solutions to rapid graying, Human growth hormone is a more permanent answer. It goes for the root of the problem as to the reasons you're experiencing gray hair because HGH, in fact, improves your state of health. As you can see, hair benefits tend to be more serious.
As you become older, you'll have more issues with your body. As an illustration, you're normally weaker once you're more mature. In addition, your age can truly be observed in your body through hair fall and baldness.
But what bothers men much more is hair loss. It happens to women, as well. It comes so naturally to just about all men that by the time they reach a definite age, they're bald. The process will not look complementary as the topmost in the scalp is usually the first to go as the sides keep a bit much longer.
Another issue is the shade or color of hair. Out of blonde, brunette, or red-colored hair, you'll have no other choice but to take hold of your grey hair. While it's absolutely nothing to be embarrassed with, as everybody will experience that at some point, it does not remove the fact that gray or discolored hair is definitely frustrating.
For those individuals with these problems, there are options. For instance, there are products promoted for hair growth. To treat gray hair, you could always resort to dyeing it. Though, it's good to remember that a better treatment for that is to know more about Human growth hormone. You can actually optimize HGH for hair growth.
If you're suffering from receding hairlines, baldness, and discoloration, then it's definitely time for you to use HGH for hair growth. Use of hgh help hair grows faster and much better. As mentioned, issues with your hair have a deeper issue than just anything they look like. They are certainly not just indications of aging but also warning signs of an unhealthy body.
Your overall metabolic process, muscle to body fat percentage, hair conditions are influenced by Human growth hormone.
Growth hormone is typically thought to be the most important of all hormones (these are chemical substance messengers) within your body. One of its many functions is to activate the liver to release yet another chemical – Insulin Growth Factor 1.
These two hormones manage a process known as cellular regeneration – the reproduction of vital new cells needed to change the old ones from the muscle groups, bones, organs, and yes, the hair.
When an individual is dealing with a GH deficiency, the amount of cellular regeneration will reduce and all places relying on a reliable supply of new cells will suffer. Human growth hormone growth hormone is used to reverse this deficiency to enable the body the capability to rejuvenate on its own through elevated cellular reproduction.
Each hair strand is made up of cells that begin their growth in the hair bulb at the lower hair follicle. Hair cells comprise keratin, a substance created by keratinocytes (hair cells). The keratinocytes are nourished by blood vessels that deliver important hormones like Human growth hormone to the hair follicle. When lower HGH ranges reduce the cell reproduction process, the hair shaft weakens and will become thinner.
Upon the use of Human growth hormone, you'll see that pigment cells also had a revitalization, providing much more pigment towards the growing strands of hair. This is why some people had a resurgence of the natural hair shade after six months of HGH therapy.
The growth hormone administration on GH deficient men was also done to see if there's an increase in body hair, such as in facial hair, chest, arms, legs, and pubic region. After six months of treatment, hair results at other body regions were checked once again and there was an increase in hair levels from men going with HGH therapy. It is obvious that human growth hormone therapy might help improve hair health.
Let's look at the common myth on hgh use and hair loss. The growth hormone does not lead to hair loss, in fact, it causes hair growth. Hair loss is a result of hindering hair growth or deprivation of growth factors.
For hair loss to occur, the hair root needs to be destroyed, the hair has to be damaged either by physical or mechanical causes (comb, brush, blower), while it must be exposed on the growth factors essential to make it expand.
Growth is controlled by hormones and metabolism, so anything that influences hormones and metabolic rate affect hair. In a similar manner, HGH also can affect hair. By evaluating in detail the type of Human growth hormone, you'll recognize that HGH will not be harmful to your hair and there are numerous reasons behind this.
📌HGH is an anabolic hormone which builds rather than stops working. HGH thus creates and enhances tissues and therefore has an impact on hair cells, as it promotes healthier hair growth.
In addition, it stimulates the creation of secondary messengers that activate the production of growth elements, amino acids, and nutrients as they serve as natural agents for the growth of hair in the hair follicles.
HGH lets out more healthy proteins for the production and growth of hair, this leads to a healthier hair which can be less likely to obtain damaged quickly and thus you simply will not lose your hair easily as being a result.
The growth hormone energizes growth instead of blocking it as it rather enhances the growth of cells by binding directly to it with the use of special compound messengers and receptors that stimulate proliferation and growth of cells.
This hormone encourages the discharge of blood insulin-like growth factor or IGF-1. The IGF-1 then motivates the growth and development of cells and tissues in your body. Thus, these mechanisms work together to create new hair cells to be able to grow hair, as opposed to damaging hair.
When you do begin human growth hormone therapy, there are many ways you can impact the effectiveness of the procedure. By making changes in lifestyle, you can make certain you'll be receiving the highest benefits from every injection.While it may possibly not be easy to create these adjustments, it will help your trouble in the long run.
Complementing the use of Human growth hormone may show rapid enhancement, especially to prevent hair loss. Here are some tips or lifestyle changes for best results.
It's essential to modify your diet plan. Even if you're already consuming a much healthier, plant-based diet regime, it's essential to choose meals that will market better follicle stimulation. Seek out foods rich in C and E vitamin supplement content, because they vitamins work as antioxidants, removing the toxins in the body and damage cells.
For vitamin C, pay attention to citrus fruit, such as grapefruits, oranges, and lemons. Moreover, strawberries, papaya, watermelon, raspberries, and pineapple also consist of high levels of ascorbic acid. Vegetables rich in vitamin C content material include darkish, leafy plants, bell peppers, tomatoes, and cabbage. The vitamin C content articles are best when these foods are eaten uncooked.
The best meals sources for vitamin E involve berries, avocado, tomatoes, and pumpkin. For vegetables, darkish, leafy vegetables are a fantastic source, as well as corn, asparagus, sweet potato, and broccoli. Here, the vitamin E information will be unaffected by preparing food the products or by buying processed instead of refreshing.
Adhere to a diet loaded with Vitamin C and Vitamin E, considering that, they work as strong herbal antioxidants, and remove air free radicals, which tend to lead to cellular injury.
Additionally, take measures to manage your stress levels, because uncontrolled stress might cause inflammation which leads to early aging and hair loss. Try meditation, yoga, using up a hobby, or going for a hike.
Physical and mental stress is associated with hair loss. Try and identify the actual cause and minimize yourself from being exposed to stress.
Eliminating leisurely drug use and reducing alcoholic beverages and smoking cigarettes intake could also positively have an impact on how well your system responds to treatments. Cigarette smoking, consumption of liquor, tobacco, and so forth are known to have a negative effect on overall health as well as the protein activity in the body.
Following these tips, will not likely only reduce the chance of hair loss, but definitely quicken the effect of Human growth hormone on hair health.
It's easy to understand why men and women are using HGH hormone remedies. This hormone really helps you to stay young and healthy!
But, you should also be considering the harmful reaction of the hormone. This can be best discussed by the medical professionals, so a proper therapy is needed before you consider starting this hormonal therapy for hair growth.
