About Audio Letter:
The Past... In 1979, long before Seattle was known for Cobain and Cornell, vocalist/violinist Sharon Gannon and guitarist Sue Ann Harkey formed, as Gannon describes it, "a stream-of-consciousness experiment" which they dubbed Audio Letter. Although other musicians would drift in and out of their orbit, the duo remained a constant as their experimental nature allowed Gannon to incorporate her interests in alchemy, meditation, and Eastern philosophy into their work.
Relocating to New York in 1983, Gannon and Harkey became fixtures in the downtown experimental and world music scene, finding fellow musicians such as John Zorn, Fred Firth and Ikue More to be kindred spirits. Audio Letter's wholly improvised gigs in East Village venues like Life Cafe and 8BC attracted a growing number of fans including legendary jazz trumpeter Don Cherry, drummer Denis Charles, and artist/musician David Life. Collaborations with Cherry, Charles, and Life resulted in It Is This, It Is Not This, Audio Letter's first album, released in 1987.
The album garnered enthusiastic critical acclaim in the underground music world exemplified by future Rolling Stone critic Ann Powers who, then writing for The Rocket, described it as a "philosophical and musical stew different than any other aural communication in Seattle." However, the world had not yet awakened from the Reagan years and Audio Letter disbanded in 1988. Gannon and Harkey simply waited for the times to catch up to them

I can't believe it's Sunday again – where do the weekends go?
My weekend has been spent going to the gym (yesterday morning) and then creaking around the house (the rest of the time). It was a killer gym class.
I've also finished the back to the quarterpint cardigan and I really like how it's looking (still not showing you any pictures though) which means I got to spend a little quality time with the Noro:
Hurrah! 8 squares finished now. I think I might be heading towards an extra-large Lizard ridge (7×5 rather than 6×4) which means there is still some way to go but I'm not loosing any of the love for this project so as H said – "it means more Noro and more knitting; you like knitting".
H has exams this coming week so it's been a quiet weekend, apart from the gym class my role has been to supply moral support and encouragement. I am reliably informed that this:
is an appropriate form of encouragement so I'm going to make a lemon meringue pie this evening for pudding as an extra revision incentive!

Where It All Started
If you look at our 2019 Calendar of Events, you would be excused for thinking it had always been this busy, the ten-strong committee has produced a wonderful and diverse calendar of events for this year, giving members the chance to use their motorcars at a variety of events including the R-REC National Rally at Burghley House and the South of England Rally at Bradfield College in May. This is 2019, but what of the sections past, what of its history? Where did it all start?
As with so much in the RREC, history is everything and I knew that a conversation with the President of the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club, Lt. Col. Eric Barrass who received his 50yr membership badge in 2009 would answer all my questions.
What follows was taken from a conversation I had with Eric a few years ago when he kindly spent some time describing some key moments in the development of the RREC in its early years. Alas Eric passed away three years ago and we still miss him.
Eric joined the RREC in 1958, and in the fulness of time he became the RREC Club Secretary, a position he held for 32 years, he was also the editor of The Bulletin for 26 years. He saw the club grow to over 10.000 members and it was Eric who formed 'Sections' as the club grew and members needed local events and meetings to attend. The first Section to be officially formed was in 1965, Eric called it the South Eastern Section. Eric wrote to every member located within 50 miles, calling for a meeting at the Grasshopper Inn near Westerham, Kent. About 40 members arrived and a committee was formed. They organised the next event at the Bowles Fitness Centre on the Eridge Road just outside Tunbridge Wells. 2015 marked our Sections 50th anniversary year as 'the first section' officially formed in the RREC.
The 2019 Committee would like to extend a very warm welcome to any member new or old who wishes to attend an event. If you do, you may find yourself attending them all year long!
Why wait? Join the RREC via The Hunt House and see what you are missing. A link to the main RREC web site may be found below.

Canadians Begin Petition For Life-Size Wolverine Statue
Some folks in Edmonton took to Change.org to petition Mayor, Don Silver to commission a statue of everyone's favorite X-Man, Wolverine. You see, the adamantium infused mutant is famously Canadian, even hailing from the home province of Edmonton, Alberta.
There just aren't that many iconic Albertan characters out there as world renowned as Wolverine. The petition reads:
To: City Council/Mayor Don Iveson Please consider the opinions of the citizens who have signed this petition towards the creation of a life sized Wolverine statue to be placed somewhere in this great city of Edmonton to be viewed by all who live here and visit, as Wolverine is a Canadian and Albertan symbol of strength, perseverance in the face of tragedy, and overall heroics.Help them reach their goal of 100,000 signatures by heading to their petition

USA - Your children's dental health in decline; sugary diet cited
By Tina Shah | South Florida Sun-Sentinel
July 31, 2007
Dental health has improved greatly for most Americans over the past 30 years, but dentists are seeing a surprising increase in tooth decay in young children, partly because of sugary foods, according to a new federal report. The report, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, found that children ages 2 to 5 are lagging in part because of health-care insurance access and socioeconomic factors. But sweet foods, snacks and drinks are the primary culprit, researchers said. "Sodas are a no-no!" said Jupiter dentist Gilda Alonzo. "I don't want to see them drinking sodas."
Twenty-eight percent of kids in this age group had tooth decay in baby teeth, from 1999 and 2004, compared with 24 percent a decade earlier. Meanwhile, tooth decay has declined in teens and adults since the late 1980s. Dentists say that having cavities in baby teeth can make children more prone to decay in their permanent teeth.
Researchers also found that some minorities and low-income people have higher rates of tooth decay than other Americans. Dentists also reported placing 8 percent more dental sealants in children ages 2 to 11 to protect against tooth decay than a decade earlier. Dentists in Broward and Palm Beach counties advise families to brush often and eat right to prevent decay before it becomes a problem. Jason P. Hirsch, a pediatric dentist in Plantation, said nine of 10 times tooth decay is because of poor diets. "A 4-year-old should not be in charge of his own health," said Hirsch, whose office sees as many as 100 kids on Saturdays.
Parents need to monitor their children's sugar intake, snacking and the consumption of processed foods, he said. Hirsch recommends that kids drink milk and fluoridated water and stay away from juices and sodas high in sugar.
Studies show adding fluoride to water leads to stronger teeth less prone to tooth decay, according to Michael Easley, dental coordinator at Florida's Department of Health. Water intake provides more than half the recommended daily dose of fluoride; foods like spinach and seafood are also good sources...........................

Cavtat/Dubrovnik, Croatia
The 25th Technical Assembly will take place at Cavtat near Dubrovnik, Croatia, kindly hosted by HRT.
This document describes how EBU‑TT Live documents (EBU Tech 3370) can be carried from node to node using WebSocket connections.
This is version 1.0 of the document, dated October 2014. The aim of the document is to specify how the EBU-TT-D subtitling distribution format specified in EBU Tech 3380 can be stored using the storage format defined in ISO/IEC 14496-12.
The creation and management of metadata documents can be quite a difficult task to accomplish manually. To address this issue in the context of the EBUCore v1.3 metadata set, we propose a GUI-based metadata editor, called QEbu, developed during the Multimedia Archival Techniques course, held at the Polytechnic University of Turin in collaboration with RAI.
Issue 12 of tech-i includes a look back at February's RadioHack workshops, a look forward to the Libre Software Meeting where the EBU is organizing sessions on Free and Open Source Software for media, introductions to the IMPS programme, EBUCore and MPEG-DASH, plus an update on follow-up actions from WRC-12. David Wood weighs up digital radio options and HRT's Kazimir Bacic is "In the spotlight".

Improve 3G Speed And GSM Signal Strength On Droid 2 Global And Droid 3
There is some interesting news for Motorola Droid 2 Global owners, as some hackers and modders have managed to find a way to boost 3G connectivity on these phones. The tweak basically involves bridging 3G speed increase hack and also fixes the Droid 2 Global's weak GSP Signal strength. XDA Member, Rotkaeqpchen, also deployed the same hack on his Motorola Droid 3, with some modifications, and was able to come up with favorable results on his phone.
Here is the step by step guide to guide to enhance 3G speed on your Motorola Droid 2 Global Android phone:
- The first step is to make sure that you have root on your phone. You can head to the post here to gain root privileges on your phone.
- After you have root, download ES File Explorer and install it in on your phone.
- Once the file explorer is installed, tap on the blue SD Card icon to access System files on your phone.
- After you can see the system folders, tap on data folder.
- Now scroll down until you see Local.prop file. long tap on Local.prop file and select Open As > Text > ES Notes Editor.
- Once the file is open in ES notes Editor, scroll down to the end and add the following line with an extra empty line:
- ro.ril.hsxpa=3
Once your device reboots, disconnect any active Wi-Fi connections on the Droid 2 Global and thoroughly test 3G connectivity means of Speedtest.net app and randomly loading apps (that require data connection) and browsing. For those who want to deploy a modified form of this hack on Motorola Droid 3, please consult the official XDA thread here.
All credits for unearthing this tweak / hack goes to kptphalkon along with other developers at Droid Forums.

If you swim with the sharks, you're bound to get bit. One bad apple spoils the whole bushel. Bad company corrupts good character. Many parents have added these phrases to their lexicon, because they illustrate the dangers of running with the "wrong crowd". As moms and dads, we know how susceptible kids are to peer influence. You've likely spent many sleepless nights worrying about the people your child is hanging around. What are they teaching my son? What are they pressuring my daughter to do? Are these friends that will give needed support and encouragement to my teen, or are they the type of people who will bring my child down?
These are valid concerns if you suspect your child is hanging out with the wrong crowd. But let's pause for a moment and ask just who is the "wrong crowd?" Here's a simple definition we can use: The "wrong crowd" includes anyone who influences your child in ways that are contradictory to your values, systems, and beliefs as parents.
When parents observe changes in their teen and note the actions and attitudes of their friends, they may arrive at the conclusion, "my teen is in league with some bad seeds." When this happens, how do we gently guide our teens away from negative influences? My advice may not be what you might expect.
Teach Your Kids
As parents, part of our job is to protect our kids. We try to shield them from negative influences as much as possible. We're not going to let our 12-year-old daughter hang around 18-year-old girls who smoke pot and sleep with their boyfriends. We have to shield our child's innocence until they are mature enough to make wise decisions on their own. It would be foolish to let young children spend time with people who have serious hang-ups. But at some point, we must stop protecting our kids and start preparing them to make wise choices when choosing friends. If all we are doing is holding our kids back from this or that person, we are not equipping them to make smart decisions once they are free of our control.
While every child is different, here is a basic guideline for starting that relational training:
0–13 years old: Get to know and closely monitor your child's friends. If your son or daughter is running with the wrong crowd this early, change schools, move houses, or pull your child from certain activities. At this age, they still need to have their innocence protected.
14–17 years old: Continue to monitor your child's friends, but begin to slowly back off from controlling their relationships. If you have concerns about the people they are spending time with, talk with your kids about the problems you see. Also, set personal and family boundaries regarding the kind of behavior that is acceptable among friends and the kind that is not.
18+ years old: At this age, young people must be responsible for their own choices, including their choices in friends. If they are living with you, they must follow the rules of the house. But if they are on their own, all you can do is let them know you are available to talk and give advice if they ever feel they need it.
As you train your teen to use discernment when choosing friends, you can help them along by asking good questions. For instance, you can ask, "I'm curious; would you ever drink and drive? Do you know someone who has? Did they think it was a good idea? Do you?" Or you can ask, "Has anyone offered you drugs? What crossed your mind in that moment?" These types of questions are effective because they help your child articulate their values, beliefs, and convictions. And if they ever get into a situation similar to the one you have discussed, chances are they will remember, "Hey, I remember telling my mom (or dad) that I don't believe in drinking and driving. I'm going to pass." By asking good questions, you are helping your child build up those decision-making muscles that will serve them well, whether they have good friends or not.
Embrace the "Bad" Kids
Instead of running from the wrong crowd, let's run towards them! Turn your home into a safe, loving, and fun place where teens can hang out and interact. Provide alternatives for your kids and their friends. Invite them to watch a ball game. Pack up enough supplies, and take a group fishing. Let them set up their band in your garage. Set aside a weekend, and go camping with your kids and their friends. In this way, not only will you be providing a healthy outlet for teens to have fun, but they will be under your watch and protection. Rather than cautioning your teen to side step the problem kids, take initiative and be the mentor, leader, or life coach they need.
Maybe your son or daughter has some friends with emotional, physical, or spiritual issues. Are there hurting and needy kids in your teen's circle of friends? Open up your arms, and embrace that "wrong crowd." Start influencing the "bad kids" yourself. And teach your teen to do the same. In that way, you won't avoid the wrong crowd, you will change them!

Written by volunteer midwife Julia Hagedorn
It is one of my last days at the beautiful Shanti Uganda birth center. Suzan, a first time mom to be, is labouring in the sheds of the garden, surrounded by singing birds and the always shining Ugandan sun. I am so proud to see one of our passionate, skilled and committed midwives being with her and giving her some ideas about positions that can ease her labour. She is rubbing her back and is helping her to breathe through the contractions. I could feel that the words she said to Suzan were full of empowering and encouraging messages. Shanti is one of the rare maternity centers in Uganda where mother-centered and respectful care are part of the core values and the mission.
In the 6 months I spent in Uganda, I was also working in a governmental hospital and was shocked about the conditions. It is common that the staff is overworked, has to work with a devastating lack of materials and work under miserable hygienic circumstances. I have seen midwives shouting at the women and slapping them during one of the most intimate and intense experiences in their life. I have seen women left alone with their pain in the maternity ward, almost delivering on the floor. They cannot expect any protection of their privacy and a respectful care during labour. According to the world's midwifery report of 2014 a woman in sub-Saharan Africa is 100 times more likely to die during childbirth than in an industrialized country.
This is where Shanti makes a difference. The Teen Girl Workshops and outreaches that Shanti is doing change the lives of girls and women in Uganda; giving them ideas about their rights and their options, and giving them courage to articulate their thoughts and feelings. Those projects are having a great, long lasting and sustainable impact on their lives. It is easy to tell the challenges the women in Uganda have to face when it comes to pregnancy and birth. There are a wide variety of issues regarding access to health care, transport to a facility, the Ugandan health system, awareness about pregnancy and birth related issues, nutrition, gender roles and, most important, skilled and trained birth attendants. Shanti is facing those challenges through their compassionate work, searching for solutions that work and responding to the real needs of the people in the community. The midwives working at Shanti are blessed to have monthly trainings. In my last week I facilitated a training session about obstetric emergencies and neonatal resuscitation. It was a pleasure to share knowledge with the midwives and to see how interested and keen they are to learn more. They are all working together to accomplish the goal of a healthy and happy mum and baby, and they are doing such a great job! I am so glad that a birth center like Shanti exists in a rural village in Uganda, and I am thrilled to see how it is going to develop in the upcoming years, continuing the awesome work they do.

PCR failure from yeast genomic DNA - (Feb/03/2012 )
Howdy, all,
I got a problem here... Plz help...
I tried to delete a gene in baker's yeast by homologous recombination and need to confirm the gene replacement by PCR. I transformed yeast with the deletion cassette and a couple of candidates showed up and I picked up 6 to test for deletion.
Our group always isolate genomic DNA and do PCR to test. Normally I grow cell in rich medium YPD to isolate the genomic DNA and it worked for me almost every time.
But this time there is a plasmid I need to maintain so I grew candidate cells in selective minimal medium. I used 5ml overnight minimal medium culture for genomic DNA isolation (phenol/chloroform and glass beads vortex method), everything looked fine - I got some white DNA pellets and washed once with 70% ethanol and then dissolved in dd water.
Then I did PCR on these obtained 6 genomic DNAs along with a positive control (WT genomic DNA isolated from YPD culture). Weird thing is, the positive control showed a nice band at right size but no any band showed up for all my 6 candidate genomic DNA!!
This is the second time I observe this problem. Last time I had the same problem but after growing cells in YPD I got successful results. But this time, as I mentioned, I need selective minimal medium to maintain a plasmid (with essential gene on it).
I was careful to make sure no phenol phase was transferred, so it should not be phenol problem. I should have isolated enough genomic DNA as I could see a good amount of DNA white pellet after ethanol precipitation.
Anybody had similar experience? Probably some Taq inhibitors were carried over (somehow not a problem for YPD culture)? If so, what is the best way to remove them?
Thanks in advance.
Put some artificial DNA and primers for it to your samples test if it's inhibition. They could also be simply negative.

It was only a matter of time before some self-righteous commentator would cheapen the tragedy of Raoul Moat and Derrick Bird's murders by making some tenuous and offensive connection between them. This week, the prize goes to Rod Liddle, who in one foul-mouthed swoop has managed to offend just about half the nation.
Writing in the latest spectator, Liddle highlights the fact that in both the Moat and Bird cases – plus the Shannon Matthews abduction case – the protagonists were all northern. "The more callous among you might well argue that it doesn't really matter, as these madmen are only shooting other northerners, and so it is therefore none of our business," he writes. "But there is no guarantee that the next deranged northerner will not get on a train, if he can afford it, and start shooting at us, instead."
Being a northerner, I find this crudely offensive. How dare he equate all northerners with ravaging serial killers intent on ending innocent peoples' lives. This smug, polarisation of 'us and them' seems to be inherent in a large portion of southerners. Having lived in London for five years I experienced it way too frequently.
My first taste of southern ignorance was when I was chatting to a girl from the well-to-do area of Windsor after just starting university in Kingston. After listening to her moan about not visiting much of Britain, I told her she should visit the north. "I would do but I'm scared of being impregnated," she replied. I waited for a sarcastic smirk or a cheeky wink but nothing came, just a dry and bemused face. I was left bewildered at the sheer callowness of her statement. How could she be serious? Are we inferior?
Well I announce with pride that this is not the case. The north by no means is more dangerous or deranged than the south. It is true perhaps that we are a little less inhibited, but violent criminals we are not. A large portion of the north – just as the south – is full of warm hearted and peaceful areas where residents respect one another. These atrocities occurred in quiet northern villages where community spirit thrived. This is a factor in what made the events so shocking in the first place. Just as many commentators do, Liddle failed to do his research, and instead produced a knee jerk reaction with comment that is designed to antagonise.
Looking at the statistics, it is a myth that the south is safer than the north when comparing crime against population. A government report by the Suzy Lamplugh Trust has published the top 10 most dangerous places to live in England & Wales.
The top ten are:
- North Manchester
- Sheffield
- Southampton
- City of Westminster
- Leicester City
- Middlesbrough
- Hackney
- Kingston Upon Hull
- Southwark
- Lewisham
Let me highlight that half of these places are from the south and in particular, London. So why then would Liddle so acrimoniously launch a weigh-in with the north? Further bemusement is stirred when considering Liddle actually lived in the sleepy northern market town of Gainsborough for over ten years before moving to London. If his traumatising experience of gun toting northerners was so scarred in his memory, then surely he would have cited his past experiences of living up north.
I can only conclude that he flew south for one reason – money. This is why the South (in particular London), has become a hotbed for this caustic view that northerners are more dangerous and violent. Too many pretentious high earning Londoners remain ignorant to the fact that their beloved city is not just the capital of England, but the capital of violence. Until smarmy toffs like Liddle pull their heads out of their rears and begin addressing the wider concerns of unemployment, poverty and violence – which happens all over England – then the public such as I will be forced to listen to unsophisticated immature commentary on issues that deserve more respect.
As Liddle says, "There is no guarantee that the next deranged northerner will not get on a train, if he can afford it, and start shooting at us, instead."
No Rod. Not "us", just you.

ALBANY — Andrew Cuomo barreled headlong into the state's fiscal crisis yesterday with a rejection of borrow-and-spend budget plans that's sure to impact the deficit deadlock in Albany.
The presumptive Democratic nominee for governor bolstered Gov. Paterson's beleaguered budget strategy and denounced the $6 billion borrowing plan central to Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver's effort to restore aid to health care and education.
"We must reduce costs, not raise them," Cuomo said in his 21-minute video campaign announcement. "I will not delegate my responsibility to make the tough, but essential, financial decisions."
The hard-times tone will no doubt be welcomed by the politically isolated Paterson as he attempts to close an estimated $9.2 billion budget gap. Paterson has struggled to resist the borrowing push and has so far failed to win contract concessions from state workers.
Paterson sources described Silver as in a "panic" in recent days trying to get a framework deal on the budget before the party kicks off its nominating convention Tuesday in Rye.
"Shelly's nervous about Andrew's position opposing [Lt. Gov. Richard] Ravitch's plan, and he has been trying to lock the governor in to support it before Andrew went public," said one senior state Democrat. "Well, it's too late now."

BOTOX & Dysport
Anti-Aging Treatment
"You look tired" are the words nobody wants to hear, especially when you are not actually tired.
Loss of bone, fat, collagen and elastin leads to volume loss and aged appearance with the formation of wrinkles, hollows, and folds. The delicate eye area is particularly vulnerable to showing signs of aging and tired appearance from dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles.
With combination therapy using BOTOX® and fillers of different characteristics the face can be rejuvenated in a natural looking and long-lasting way as an adjunct or an alternative to cosmetic surgery.
To find out if BOTOX®, Dysport and/or other dermal fillers are right for you, please contact us or call us today at 203-557-6464.
Dermal Fillers for Wrinkles
Cosmetic injections can help improve or eliminate facial wrinkles that result in a tired or angry appearance. Today, BOTOX® and Dysport are the most popular cosmetic procedures performed in the United States. Forehead wrinkles, wrinkles between the eyebrows and laugh lines (crow's feet) can be smoothed and the eyebrows contoured for more relaxed and rejuvenated appearance. With repetitive use, the lines soften and diminish over time. The results are subtle and natural. The effects of a single treatment usually last three to four months.
The individual goals of your BOTOX® and Dysport injections are discussed prior to the treatment. No anesthesia is necessary. Ice may be used before, during, and after the procedure for comfort. A number of small injections are done with a very small needle into specific muscles. The entire treatment takes approximately 10 minutes. The effects may start to become evident in 2-3 days, taking full effect within 5-7 days. Some patients choose to repeat their BOTOX® or Dysport treatment as soon as they notice the effects wearing off, in 3-4 months, others return in 4-6 months.
For more information on BOTOX® and Dysport, please contact us or call us today at 203-557-6464.
What is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is a neuromodulator or neurotoxin that is made from a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, called botulinum toxin. Three brands of Botulinum toxin are available: BOTOX®, Dysport, and Xeomin. They vary in their formulation. When injected into muscles, BOTOX® causes those muscles to temporarily relax. The wrinkles in the skin overlying those muscles are softened and improved. BOTOX® can also be used to contour eyebrows (chemical brow lift), soften crow's feet, smooth lines around the mouth (smoker's lines) and soften the angle of the jaw. BOTOX® also has numerous non-cosmetic applications.
How Long Does BOTOX® Last?
The effects of BOTOX® generally last three to four months. As it wears off, muscle action gradually returns. Lines and wrinkles will begin to reappear and need to be treated again. However, lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time as the muscles become used to being inactive. Most people choose to have treatments 2-4 times per year, depending on their individual needs.
What is BOTOX® Made Of?
BOTOX® is a drug made from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It's the same toxin that causes botulism. BOTOX®, and other brands of a neurotoxin are highly purified and used in minute amounts. BOTOX® has been used in medicine safely for over 30 years.
How Does It Work?
BOTOX® blocks signal from the nerves to the muscles, inhibiting the ability of the muscle to contract. This causes the wrinkles to relax and soften. It is most often used on forehead lines, crow's feet (lines around the eye) and frown lines.
How Much Does BOTOX® Cost?
BOTOX® can be charged per area or per unit. The average cost per unit of BOTOX® is about $15. The number of units needed depends on the size and muscle mass of the area being treated. The average number of units used to treat the forehead and glabella (the "11's") to improve the wrinkles and contour the eyebrows, is 35-50 units. Call Dr. Flora Levin today for pricing information.
Please call us today at (203) 557-6464 or request a consultation.
Dr. Levin is an excellent doctor. I received Botox injections and fillers under my eyes, cheeks and temples. She was very thorough and took her time explaining and answering all my questions. The wrinkles were smoothed and my entire face looks much more youthful and rested. I would absolutely without hesitation recommend Dr. Levin to all my friends. The results are amazing.
I had surgery with Dr. Levin for droopy eyelids. From the first to the last appointment I felt as if I was her only patient. She spent as much time with me as needed, answered all my questions and alleviated all my concerns. The surgery went very well, and I'm very happy with the results. Everything you would want from a doctor! Highly recommend.
Saw doctor Flora Levin for a Botox consultation. She took her time explaining everything to me, and was very thorough. I scheduled the procedure, and was very happy with the results! She followed up within a week after the procedure to check, and make sure i got the results that i expected. Would highly recommend!
Dr. Levin is extremely knowledgeable in the field of cosmetic surgery and cosmetic rehabilitation. Her diagnosis is astute and her hands are gentle. She is most generous with her time. It is the patient and not the clock that comes first. I have already recommended Dr. Flora Levin to a great many colleagues.
Dr. Levin is an outstanding surgeon. She somehow takes the time to fully understand a patient's goals and expectations. My procedure was over two years ago and I still cant believe how good I look and feel! I would highly recommend her to anyone! PS I was told I look more like the sister of the bride rather than her mom! Thank you, Dr Levin!!!
"Dr. Levin was amazing! She answered all my concerns and thoroughly explained everything to me prior to the procedure and even though I was awake, Dr. Levin's calm and reassuring presence made me feel perfectly at ease during the relatively painless procedure. My recovery went quickly and smoothly and I couldn't be more thrilled with the cosmetic result. The change in my look is subtle and natural looking. I am so pleased I chose Dr. Levin to do my surgery. I look refreshed and awake now and I wish I had it done sooner!"
"Dr. Flora Levin is the most caring, professional doctor I have ever encountered. She preformed eyelid surgery on me, and she is a true perfectionist. I am always told how beautiful my eyes are. Thank you Dr. Levin. I think you are wonderful!!!"
Significant "smoker's lines" (I've never smoked a day in my life!) and "elevens," both from a life of expressiveness now come back to haunt me! Met Dr. Levin at Yale and followed to her office in Bridgeport. She's a "doctor's doctor" in my opinion, with brilliant knowledge, wonderful manner, patience and finesse in her work. Absolutely worth it!
Dr. Levin operated on me. I am an R.N. working with plastic surgeons. I was very picky regarding my choice of cosmetic, oculoplastic surgeons. She was the right choice. I couldn't be happier. The office staff was very helpful as well. The atmosphere was welcoming and professional. I would highly recommend Dr. Levin.
I am in awe of the artistry of her work and am ecstatic with the results of my surgeries. I felt very comfortable during my office visits because she spent the time with me. I also felt very comfortable during my recoveries. My face used to be crooked and now it is symmetrical. My eyes are no longer hooded and she has given me a wider field of vision. An unintended consequence is that I look years younger and the results are very natural. I am a very happy patient and I highly recommend Dr. Flora Levin without reservation.

I'm Nick Hagood, the owner and voice of Masculinity Rising.
Today's society is characterized by a distinct lack of masculine values, and many men struggle through life without mentors to offer them guidance.
We are here to fix that.
Fitness. Health. Mindset. Relationships. Finances.
We're going to dig into it all, and offer you solutions that will make you a happier, more masculine man. Let's get started.
Who is Nick Hagood?
I grew up in the rural south and I quickly realized small town living wasn't for me. I love my hometown, yes. I'll always hold a nostalgic spot in my heart for that place… but accepting mediocrity has never set well with me.
I hope it doesn't with you.
I knew if I never branched out, I would never find fulfillment in life. When you look around and all you see is average, you become average. When all you see is negative, you become negative. The expectations of society and the weight of our fears hold us down, preventing us from achieving our goals. Only by rejecting the "average" voices in society and by facing our fears can we break free of those shackles.
So, what did I fear doing? Leaving the shelter of my hometown to finally realize a dream of living in Seattle, WA.
I moved to Seattle in September of 2013, and since then I have made radical changes in my beliefs, thoughts, and habits. My personal journey through life has offered me valuable insights and experiences that I believe can serve other men.
So, what do you fear doing most? That is the dream you should get started on.
The Fall of Masculinity
Growing up, I have always felt that something was missing from my life, some mysterious element that I couldn't put my finger on. As the years passed, I watched my peers begin to surpass me in terms of happiness, success, money, and relationships.
Cynicism, negativity, pessimism, and depression began ruling my daily life and the more I fought back, the stronger these mental poisons took hold. I felt completely lost, and I bet that many men feel the same way at this very moment.
I believe this is a direct result of the decline of masculinity in today's society. Boys are not challenged into becoming men anymore. Masculine role models are practically non-existent. There are no rights of passage. No real struggles. Instead, "men" are coddled and pussified by our society, remaining boys their entire lives.
That is no way to live.
Time For A Change
When I first started working on myself, I looked to the experiences of others that were stronger, smarter, happier, and more successful than myself.
I started fostering masculine values and pursuing masculine endeavors. Then I noticed my depression began to subside over time. For the first time, my confidence began to develop without an overprotective ego, and I began enjoying what I looked like and how I felt.
I used to see a fat, unconfident loser when I looked in the mirror. Not anymore.
Then, life presented me with an opportunity and I seized it.
My opportunity was a free relocation to Seattle as part of a job offer. I took it and never looked back, despite the fear and intimidation involved in moving 3,000 miles alone, all while leaving my entire support network of family and friends behind. All I had at the time was a falling-apart Ford Escort full of clothes and electronics, and my Shetland Sheepdog, Wilson.
The past few years have been full of challenges. Challenges that have tested me to my core. Despite the struggles of life, I focus on always pushing forward. Constantly improving and becoming better. Stronger. Smarter.
Along the way, I have realized that everyone has a story to tell — experiences that can help others with their own questions and struggles in life.
There are multiple reasons why you aren't where you want to be. My goal is to help you figure out those reasons.
If you're unhappy, make a change.
If you see an opportunity, take it.
Foster more masculine qualities in your life.
Work towards a larger goal or purpose.
Just get off your ass and make something happen!
Don't know where to start? Join Masculinity Rising to receive daily emails directly from the War Room. They'll make you think, grow, and improve.
Welcome, Brother.

After a long week, a short blog... .(hooray you cry). And after typing thousands of words in emails, reports and proposals all week, I'm going to try pictures instead.
On Wednesday I left London, in my ongoing quest to find businesses that work differently.
I visited a manufacturing firm which used an interesting canine metaphor to describe their journey to having an autonomous, purposeful and prosperous workforce. They started as a business where employees thought and acted like this:
image by marc falardeau
The expectation was that management would tell them what to do, when, how, and maybe if they were very lucky, why. They were happy to clock in and out 9-5. They made barely more than minimum wage. But to the owners' great surprise, when they were given the chance to have radically more freedom, responsibility, and importantly, money, many didn't want it.
They looked and acted rather like this:
Image by Dave Goodman
Everything in their education and professional experience so far had been based on conformity to authority, clear boundaries, limited expectation, narrow jobs and minimum personal risk. They were thoroughly domesticated.
The next stage of the journey - taking off the leash and collar - was therefore very painful, protracted and often unpleasant. It took years for the change in culture to take root: to hand over the reins, and rewards, of the business to a workforce that had never expected to be given them and had learned somehow not to want them.
Seeking a domesticated, familiar environment, many left to work in conventional businesses. The remainder found it hard to find new workers who could not only hack it, but actively relish this radical autonomy.
In the interests of profit, performance, and people, the owners gave up their fat salaries and earned their (still good) money instead by supplying services (e.g. software, workspace) for the workers, tailored to the needs of the business. As a result they turned what had been a conventional, rather knackered and hierarchical manufacturing business into a highly efficient and profitable collaborative venture, where the workers did 'whole' jobs (incorporating sales, finance, production, marketing, HR), decided between them how to run the business, and earned great salaries by taking home directly what they produced. From being factory drones they became a team of interconnected, free-spirited and resourceful micro-entrepreneurs, who collaborate when they need to, and not when they don't.
In effect, their experiment represents a 'rewilding' of work
Image by Caninfest
Talking to the workers themselves highlighted the fact that's a demanding, way of working. It means living with constant pressures that are as much internally as externally driven. But they wouldn't dream of leaving, and going back into a conventional business. The collar would chafe....
How wild is your workplace? And what could you do to help your organisation lose its domesticity?

German World Cup Winner Sami Khedira insist that he never thought about leaving the Spanish capital in near future. Khedira was heavily linked after no contract renewal with the Spanish giants, according to the Daily Mail.
He will be out of contract come summer of 2015, and that's why he was heavily linked with a departure from the Los blancos, as early as January 2015. However, Germany international have rubbished the talks of leaving the reigning European champions and feels that the club and the coach needs him.
"Right now, I cannot see any reason why I would leave the club this winter," he told German magazine Kicker.
"Real Madrid is a great club to be at. This club has a place in my heart and there is absolutely no reason for me to say that I want to or have to leave. 'I get the feeling I am still wanted (by Coach Carlo Ancelotti)'"
After joining Madrid from German club VFB Stuttgart in 2010, Khedira have appeared 150 times for the whites, scoring 9 goals in total. He was one of the starters at the time of Mourinho.

Injury Concerns
However, a number of injuries and a change of formation after the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti played a part over the last year, where he lost his place in the first XI, which led to rumors of his exit from the Santiago Bernabeu.
Earlier this season, Khedira was sidelined because of muscular injury that ruled him out for six weeks. He was then left out of the Madrid squad for the match against Rayo Vallecano last weekend, which raised further doubts over his future at the club.


text: Mineral crystals grown on thin threads form the shape of a chair in this installation by Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka. He created the Spider's Thread sculpture of a chair by suspending just seven filaments within a frame that was set in a pool of mineral solution. The solution was drawn up the threads and gradually formed into crystals around them, fleshing out into the shape of a piece of furniture. "Spider's Thread applies the structure of natural crystals in an advanced way aiming to produce a form even closer to the natural form," said Yoshioka. The designer says this iteration references a traditional story by Japanese writer Ryunosuke Akutagawa. "The Buddha takes a thread of a spider in Heaven and lowers it down to Hell so that the criminal can climb up from Hell to Paradise," explains Yoshioka. "In the story, the thread of a spider is a symbol of slight hope and fragility." (source).

It requires a commitment of 90 minutes a day, five days a week. There are only a handful of centers in the country that offer NRN. We're fortunate that one of those centers is Kessler, which is practically in our backyard, only 25 minutes from our home.
We are also fortunate that Dennis has access to this progressive therapy at all. Taking into account the limited number of NRN locations in the US and the amount of time dedicated to each patient in the program, we estimate about 100 people in the country are a part of the program at any given time. There are 1.28 million people in the US who suffer paralysis from spinal cord injury (with the full paralysis community spanning 6 million people). That translates into less than 1% of the of the spinal cord injury population enrolled in the program at any given moment.
It takes four therapists to provide NRN, one moving each leg, one providing support behind the person receiving the therapy and one person to work the machine to vary the settings and read the inputs during the session.
The first hour of the 90 minutes is spent on the treadmill, with the therapists moving each leg. The session alternates between providing a higher level of support for Dennis to get a more intense bout of repetition and sensory cues, rotations of providing the least amount of support needed to see how much he can do on his own and encourage deeper engagement, and periods of trying to stand with varying levels of support. The idea is to inspire muscle memory and retraining. The last 30 minutes is spent off the treadmill doing assisted stepping, standing, or core exercises to strengthen trunk control and further push potential muscle memory while the nervous system is "excited" by the sensory inputs from the locomotor training.
Whether and how much NRN will work for Dennis is yet to be seen. Any substantial success is uncertain and measured by years versus days or weeks. Regardless of what recovery comes, it is also the best way to stay healthy, offer Dennis exercise, help keep his bones strong and his muscle mass up and for that we are ever grateful.

Laboratoire de Mécanique Appliquée, Faculté des Sciences et des Techniques, Besancon Cedex, France
The results of experiments performed on an austenitic stainless steel of the type 316L at a temperature of 600°C are presented. The tests were made under both unidirectional (1D) and bidimensional (2D) cyclic tension-torsion loading, both in and out of phase with one (case of 2D ratchet) or two cyclic components. For the 2D loadings, it is shown that a weak supplementary hardening ΔH+ appears which is mostly a function of the degree of phase difference φ between the strain components and the ratio R between the maximum amplitudes of these components. These observations conform qualitatively to those already reported for ambient temperature but quantitatively it is shown that the maximum amplitude of this supplementary hardening is a strongly decreasing function of the temperature. A simple phenomenological formulation is proposed which, when integrated into a unified viscoplastic model developed elsewhere, leads to a correct representation of the experimental results.
