Women's World: Safe Cosmetic Surgery!!

If you're considering a cosmetic procedure make sure you
have all the facts and feel 100%?comfortable about your decision before
you sign or part with any money! Check out this cosmetic surgery guide to make sure you stay safe and well
informed.

The real expert on your appearance and any concerns you may have is you. The only assistance you should need is to decide what, if any, surgery you might need, and you should ensure you get unbiased information regarding what might be technically possible and any associated risks and benefits. Do not let surgeon, nurse or other person talk you into doing anything for which you had little concern before the consultation.?

2.??? Be informed:

Anyone considering any cosmetic procedure should ensure they are fully informed and accept the limitations and risks of any procedure.? The key things to remember are:

• No surgeon or procedure is 100 per cent risk free.
• No results are guaranteed - you may look quite different to how you imagined.
• No implants last forever - all implants will require replacing in the future meaning additional cost and repeated risks.
• Cosmetic surgery is often major surgery - recovery can be painful and everyone heals at a different rate.

3.??? Be comfortable:

Make sure you feel comfortable with the organization, surgeon and clinic you have chosen.?

4.??? Know your surgeon:

Many practitioners purport to be experts, but many are not even surgeons!! Practitioners may boast impressive sounding qualifications, but these can have little meaning. Organisations associated with and preferably will demonstrate acceptable standards of practice, i.e., those which you can reasonably expect of surgeons and doctors in general. Hospitals which have strong associations will also adhere to these standards and so offer some level of reassurance.?

5.??? Get the timing right:

Unless the circumstances are exceptional, avoid surgery if you have recently experienced major life events such as moving house, changing job, losing a loved one, the break-up of a relationship or the arrival of children.?

6.??? Beware of ?free? consultations and avoid booking fees or non-refundable deposits:

These are a typical feature of many commercial clinics. Nothing is free and if the surgery is right for you then there will be no need for you to be locked into going ahead by any financial cancellation penalties. A non-refundable deposit should ring alarm bells.

7.??? Location:

Do not travel a long distance or overseas for any surgery unless you are comfortable with the arrangements to follow up and the management of any problems or complications which might arise.?

8.??? Talk to your GP:

Your GP has no interest other than your welfare, so many doctors are very happy to advise patients and not be judgmental about something which many people feel very sensitive and vulnerable about.

9.??? You can change your mind:

Hopefully everything will be totally to your satisfaction, but remember you have the option to cancel right up until the time you go to sleep for surgery. The fundamental reason for the surgery is to make you feel better about yourself, and if this is compromised, surgery should not proceed. No reputable surgeon would normally impose any penalty for cancellations.?

10.??? Take your time:

Remember that undergoing surgery is a serious commitment and is often life changing. This is a decision to think long and hard about, taking into account all risks: health, financial, and emotional!

HBT: Yankees close to re-signing Ichiro

We saw a premature report out of Japan late last month, but it appears that Ichiro Suzuki will indeed be back with the Yankees next season.

ESPN?s Buster Olney reports that the Yankees are ?moving closer? to an agreement with Ichiro and that a deal is expected to be done within the next few days. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reported yesterday that the Yankees were ?showing strong interest? in re-signing him and quoted a source who said that a deal ?will happen.?

No word yet on the terms being discussed, but it?s a good bet he?ll see a sharp drop in salary from the $17 million he made last season. The 39-year-old outfielder batted .322/.340/.454 with five home runs, 27 RBI and a .794 OPS in 67 games after being acquired from the Mariners in July.

Assuming the deal gets done, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman will likely look for a right-handed bat to mix in with lefty bats Ichiro, Brett Gardner and Curtis Granderson. Scott Hairston, who socked a career-high 20 homers this past season with the Mets, has been mentioned as a possibility.

Putin pledges to fight corruption, capital flight

MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin pledged on Wednesday to crack down on corruption and the flight of capital from Russia in a new campaign to tackle problems that have marred his 13-year rule and blighted the country's business scene.

Setting priorities in his first state of the nation speech since he started a six-year term in May, Putin also tried to appease Russians eager for improvement in roads, schools, hospitals and police forces.

His 80-minute speech, delivered in the St George Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace, lacked the punch of some performances during the oil-fuelled boom years of his 2000-2008 presidency.

But he drew applause from an audience of lawmakers, government ministers and religious leaders when he said officials should be restricted by law from opening foreign bank accounts and owning securities abroad.

"Don't applaud too soon - maybe you won't like it," Putin warned, adding that the measures would apply to senior Kremlin, government and parliamentary officials.

Putin also said businesses should not evade Russia's laws by operating through offshore tax havens. Capital has been leaving Russia at a rate of $80 billion per year.

Reining in graft would be a boon for Russia's state finances and for Putin, helping to dispel deep public distrust in state authorities whom millions see as corrupt.

Putin got Russia's powerful "oligarchs" to knuckle under in his first term but critics say money flows have simply shifted to his allies and corruption has worsened under his rule.

Recent corruption scandals have cost Putin's defense minister his job and spawned criminal cases but failed to convince Russians that Putin will wage war on graft.

"My God, how many years has he been in power and kept telling us things will get better?" said Alla, an information technology specialist in Moscow who gave only her first name.

"If this country is to develop, the most important thing is to finally have an honest government, not one that keeps on stealing under the mantle of fighting corruption," she said.

Former Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin said Putin's plan to curb capital flight would not work.

"It makes no sense to stop business going offshore by compulsion. It must be done by making Russia's legal system more attractive," Kudrin tweeted.

Putin, who during his presidential campaign accused the United States of encouraging opposition protests, said foreign meddling in Russian politics was unacceptable.

But he suggested the biggest threats to Russia came from a slump in the population since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union and the loss of spiritual moorings.

"If the nation is not capable of preserving itself and reproducing, if it loses it vital bearings and ideals, then it doesn't need foreign enemies - it will fall apart on its own."

Russia's population fell to 142 million last year from 149 million in 1991 and experts warn it will fall further.

Putin promised to add subsidies for third children in some regions next year.

"Families with three children should be the norm," he said.

Russia also needs to strengthen its national identity and moral foundations if is to survive, he said.

"We must not lose ourselves as a nation - we must be and remain Russia," he said.

SPIRITUAL BONDS

Putin, who has been in power since 2000 and could seek another six-year term in 2018, appears to be searching for a grand idea to promote national unity.

He invited provincial legislature chiefs to his Kremlin speech for the first time, a sign he is determined to keep far-flung reaches of Russia from straying from Moscow's orbit.

Putin's years in power have been marred by an Islamist insurgency in the North Caucasus, which has led to bombings in Moscow, and attacks in mostly Muslim Tatarstan this year raised the specter of a spread of militant violence.

In his address, Putin reiterated warnings against extremism and calls for ethnic harmony, saying that despite the country's diversity "we are one people - Russians."

Putin, accused by opponents and Western governments of suppressing dissent and prosecuting his political foes, said: "There can be no other political choice than democracy."

But he dismissed protest leaders who failed to prevent him winning the presidency in March.

"Civilised dialogue is only possible with those who present their demands in a civilized way," Putin said.

Putin said he is taking steps to improve democracy, pointing to legislation in the works that would revive elections of half the members of the lower parliament house in district races.

Opponents say that would benefit the ruling United Russia party, which holds the levers of power in the provinces.

They dismissed Putin's address as platitudes and empty promises.

"In short, there will be no political reforms - and without political reforms, all the rest is impossible to implement," Dmitry Gudkov, an opposition lawmaker and a leader of the protests, said on Twitter.

But Olga Kalistratova, a woman selling Christmas decorations from a Moscow street stand and shivering in the cold, said Putin "is doing everything in the right way, step by step. I think he is doing fine."

Why Not Build This Year's Gingerbread House Using CAD and Lasers?

We've all seen our fair share of crooked gingerbread houses, daubed with frosting to the point where they look less like a building and more like a bomb site. Johan von Konow has a solution to that problem, though: design the building using CAD and manufacture it using laser cutters. More »

Greg jumps at the chance to pose for male cancer charity | The Sun ...

OLYMPIC hero Greg Rutherford poses in nothing but a pair of Union Jack underpants and his gold medal as he takes part in a charity life art class.

Greg, 26, stripped off for a group of lucky fans who got to draw him in all his glory as part of a campaign to help promote Male Cancer Awareness.

The Team GB long jumper was thrust into the spotlight after he bagged himself gold when he jumped an impressive 8.31m in the finals of the event at this summer's London Olympics.

He is now keen to put his newfound fame to good use after a close friend was diagnosed with testicular cancer aged just 33.

The event, organised by deals website Groupon, saw more than 950 people log on and bid for their chance to take part in the class, with 15 winners randomly selected to enjoy a champagne reception and the guidance of Tony Picano of the Life Drawing Society UK.

The select few were then able to pose for pictures with Greg and his gold medal and have their artwork signed by the track and field star.

Talking about the experience Greg admitted that while he didn't initially think he would feel nervous stripping off, when it came down to it the ordeal was very nerve-racking.

He said: "It was up until the moment I was sitting here and waiting to come out - that's when I got incredibly nervous. Even this morning I was really blase about it, I was like 'oh this will be fine I've had to do much bigger things in my life and then all of a sudden I was absolutely bricking it.

Groupon

"You're out there and everybody is looking at you and you know what's coming next as do they and you're sort of thinking 'oh ok, this is the moment...' It's really awkward but nice, you get into it, it's for a good cause so it's worth it."

Greg also admitted that he was inspired to take part in the event because of the bravery of his friend who has been battling the disease.

He said: "I've got a mate who's been suffering with testicular cancer and he's in remission now so he's come out the back end of it, he's recovered. He was a massive inspiration to me because when you see somebody who's ill like that but still training and still working hard, it's brilliant to look at them and think you're dealing with something so severe like this.

"I mean anybody can contract any form of cancer. This is 99% curable - but people still die of it. So it was amazing to see and for that reason I was very keen to get involved. It's just a great idea to raise some money and hopefully make men more aware as well.

Greg stressed the importance of regularly checking for symptoms - and acting quickly if you find something wrong.

He said: "I think all guys need to have a bit of a fiddle and feel for any irregular lumps or bumps or anything. Or if there is any unfamiliar feeling in the area - like dull aches in their stomach or scrotum - just nip in to the doctor, it's their job, go and let them have a feel and a check of you. It's their job - they don't care what it looks like. At least then if you're OK you know.

"If you leave it too long people do die of it - so forget about the embarrassment of getting bits and bobs out for a doctor. I did it in front of 40 people here so you just have to do it. If it's going to save your life who cares."

Arty ... Greg Rutherford says he was nervous about posing

Groupon

Greg recently confessed that since being plunged in to the spotlight by his Olympic success he's found it hard to cope with being called a "celebrity".

He said: "It's been interesting to say the least - being invited here there and everywhere and getting photographed all over the place.

"I think the term 'celebrity' is thrown around really easily, I wouldn't see myself as one at all. I just do track and field and I'm fortunate enough to do it to a very high level."

But he also admitted that being better known in the public eye since his success hasn't put his ambitions as a sportsman on hold.

He added: "I think every track and field athlete, their ultimate aim is to go out there and win at the Olympics and I had the fortunate turn of events that it happened for me in London. For me that's got to be the highlight of my career by a long, long way - just that pure feeling of every emotion I've ever had in my life rolled into one at that moment I realised I'd won. There's never been anything like it in my life and I don't think there'll be anything like it again.

"I want to go on and cement myself as one of the greatest long jumpers ever. Obviously winning in London will always be the most important, but there's the world championships next year. I want to back up the Olympic title with that, and after that we have the Commonwealth and European games - and I want to win those as well.

"I basically want to win every major title there is."
