Show goers were treated to a talk and question and answers session from John Surtess. Still sharp and entertaining he regailled the audience with stories and anecdotes from his career on two and four wheels.

John Surtees, CBE (11 February 1934 – 10 March 2017) was an English Grand Prix motorcycle road racer and Formula One driver. He was a four-time 500 cc motorcycle World Champion – winning that title in 1956, 1958, 1959 and 1960 – the Formula One World Champion in 1964, and remains the only person to have won World Championships on both two and four wheels. He founded the Surtees Racing Organisation team that competed as a constructor in Formula One, Formula 2 and Formula 5000 from 1970 to 1978. He was also the ambassador of the Racing Steps Foundation.

Surtees was the son of a south-London motorcycle dealer, Jack Surtess, himself an accomplished grasstrack competitor and in 1948 was the South Eastern Centre Sidecar Champion. Johns Motorsport debut came at the age of 14 in the sidecar of his Fathers Vincent, the duo won their race but were disqualified when race officials were made aware of Johns age. He entered his first race at 15 in a grasstrack competition. In 1950, at the age of 16, he went to work for the Vincent factory as an apprentice. He first came to prominence in 1951 when he gave Norton star Geoff Duke a strong challenge in an ACU race at the Thruxton Circuit. In 1955 he joined the Norton works team finishing the year with wins at Silvcerstone and Brands Hatch ahead of Champion Geoff Duke. The following year with Norton under financial pressure he moved to MV Augusta earning the nickname figlio del vento (son of the wind). In 1956 he won the first of his four 500cc World Championships. 1957 was dominated by Gilera but with their withdrawal from racing at the end of the season Surtees and MV Agusta went on to dominate the competition in the two larger displacement classes. In 1958, 1959 and 1960, he won 32 out of 39 races and became the first man to win the Senior TT at the Isle of Man TT three years in succession.

In 1960, at the age of 26, Surtees switched from motorcycles to cars full-time, making his Formula 1 debut racing for Team Lotus He made an immediate impact with a second-place finish in only his second Formula One World Championship race, at the 1960 British Grand Prix, and a pole position at his third, the 1960 Portuguese Grand Prix. He spent the 1961 and 1962 seasons racingfor Reg Parnell, with the Yeoman Credit Racing Team driving a Cooper T53 "Lowline" in 1961 and a V8 Lola Mk4, and the Bowmaker Racing Team. He moved to Ferrari for 1963 winning the World Drivers Title in 1964.

On 25 September 1965, he suffered major injuries following a crach at Mosport in a Lola T70. The injuries resulting in one side of his body reduced to four inches shorter than the other Doctors set most of the breaks nonsurgically, in part by physically stretching his shattered body until the right-left discrepancy was under an inch – and there it stayed. For 1966 F1 regulations now specified a capacity increase to 3 litre and inevitably there were teething problems with the new cars. Surtess finished a close second to Jack Brabham in the International Trophy but his Ferrari suffered mechanical problems in Monaco, while leading the race. He won an incident packed Belgian GP at Spa. But for Le Mans Ferrari entered only two P3 cars, and a dispute between Surtess and team manager Eugenio Dragoni led to him not being selected to drive. Subsequent lack of support from Enzo Ferrari himself were deeply upsetting to Surtees and he immediately quit the team. This decision likely cost both Ferrari and Surtees the Formula 1 Championship in 1966. Ferrari finished second to Brabham-Repco in the Constructors' Championship and Surtees finished second to Jack Brabham in the Drivers' Championship, he finished the season driving for the Cooper-Maserati team, winning the last race of the season.

Surtees competed with a T70 in the inaugural 1966 Can-Am season winning three of the six races and clinching the Championship.

For 1967 he signed for the new Honda Grand Prix team, after a third in South Africa the Honda RA273 hit a series of mechanical problems, and had to be replaced by the revised Honda RA300 for the Italian Grand Prix, where Surtees slipstreamed Jack Brabham to take Honda's second F1 victory, despite Hondas early season problems he finished fourth in the Drivers Championship.

In 1970, Surtees formed his own race team, the Surtees Racing Organisation, and spent nine seasons competing in Formula 5000, Formula 2 and Formula 1 as a constructor. He retired from competitive driving in 1972, the same year the team had their greatest success when Mike Hailwood won the European Formula 2 Championship

In 1996, Surtees was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame. Already a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE), he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2008 Birthday Honours and a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2016 New Year Honours for services to motorsport In 2013 he was awarded the 2012 Segrave Trophy in recognition of multiple world championships, and being the only person to win world titles on 2 and 4 wheels

Giant panda breeding season starts early at National Zoo by Smithsonian's National Zoo

19 13

The 2009 giant panda mating season began Thursday, Jan. 15 at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. Female Mei Xiang (may-SHONG) and male Tian Tian (tee-YEN tee-YEN) attempted to mate throughout the day Thursday. For the past six years, Mei Xiang has typically ovulated in March or April.

Zoo staff carefully observed the pandas’ activities and, because competent mating did not occur, Zoo scientists and veterinarians performed a nonsurgical artificial inseminations on Jan. 17.

Big thank you to Gofybr for partnering with alpha m. on this video!

In this video men's style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of www.iamalpham.com www.aaronmarino.com www.peteandpedro.com, tests out hair thickening fibers on his hairstylist. This is a good old fashioned alpha m. experiment.

Aaron Marino of alpha m. is excited about this video because it will kick some balding butt! Alpha loves to show viewers options for dealing with hair loss. He's not saying that you should have this done, but he realizes balding is a confidence killer. So if he can showcase or talk about what can help, he feels he should do it.

Alpha is taking you on a field trip but before hand, he introduces Gofybr. Thicker and denser hair is experienced instantly. This stuff fascinates him! He reached out to the company as a YouTuber, which he asked for some free Gofybr to test. He's taking it to Stephen Posta.

Your hair has a positive magnetic charge but the Gofybr has a negative magnetic charge. It's sweat and rain resistant. It feels natural and doesn't come off in his hand. Simply sprinkle and pat!

Check out the amazing before and after! It's an option to make you feel more confident if you are self-conscious about thinning hair. Alpha feels it's his job to explore options regarding hair loss. He gives a shout out to Gofybr for sending him the samples.

TEETH ALIGNMENT

We correct crooked or crowded teeth by implementing efficient treatments to make your teeth more attractive and also for your overall dental health. For teeth alignment either orthodontics or porcelain veneers or a combination of both can be used. Combination treatments are ideal for crowded and misaligned teeth that are also heavily worn, discoloured or broken down. We use the latest technological innovations to render the best dental treatments.

GUM TREATMENT & SURGERY

For the treatment of gums, both surgical and non-surgical methods like scaling and root planning are used. Generally, the gums get treated by non-surgical means. However, if the tissue around the teeth is unhealthy and cannot be repaired with nonsurgical options, surgery is needed. These treatments are recommended to remove the plaque that builds up on the teeth. If it is left untreated, the bone and surrounding tissues decay, resulting in loose teeth, or worse, tooth loss.

ROOT CANAL THERAPY & SURGERY

A root canal treatment is suggested when the tooth is badly decayed or infected. It is caused by the bacteria that live in the mouth and eventually invade the tooth. To treat this infection, we remove the bacteria by removing the pulp from the root canal and then filling the root canal and sealing it. The best way to avoid root canals is to take good daily care of your teeth to prevent the growth and spread of bacteria. Brushing and flossing are important.

FIXING CAVITIES & BROKEN TOOTH

We care about your healthy smile and hence we provide economical and simple procedures to fix cavities and broken tooth. Cavities generally occur due to tooth decay that infects the tooth completely. There are a number of different treatments for cavities depending on the extent of tooth decay. The decayed portion is removed, followed by tooth filling and polishing which smoothens the teeth. Similarly, in the case of a broken or uneven tooth, we rejuvenate your smile by using simple contouring methods

DENTAL BRACES (ORTHODONTICS)

Dental Braces treatment can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal with the control and modification of facial growth. Orthodontics treatment is concerned with the treatment of improper bites, and crooked teeth. Orthodontic treatment can help fix the patient's teeth and set them in the right place. Dental braces and retainers are used to set the patient's teeth.

CROWNS & BRIDGES

Crowning is a measure to restore your tooth when it is heavily decayed, damaged or discoloured. At such times, the tooth is too weak to survive with mere filling. Crowning helps restore the tooth to its natural form using implants that provides a tooth-like restoration. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. An artificial tooth is attached to a crown on the natural tooth on each side of the gap.

BLEACHING & WHITENING

Bleaching and whitening are cosmetic methods to restore your white teeth. Healthy teeth that have yellowed with age or stained from coffee, red wine or smoking usually respond well to whitening. Bleaching only works on natural teeth. If you have restorations or replacements, or if you have receding gums, there are other solutions, contact our dental clinic to know the best method to get your dazzling smile back.

CHILD DENTISTRY

Our dental clinic has a special team that caters to the dental care of children. Every child needs to be prescribed a unique and comprehensive oral health care program as per their individual needs. We understand this and provide every care and attention that your child requires and deserves. We want your child's visit to our office to be a happy one.

FAMILY DENTISTRY & X RAY

Apart from the above services, we also provide Dental radiographs i.e. X-Rays. An x-ray provides essential information about your teeth, bone, and tissue. With the help of the x-ray pictures we can look at what is happening beneath the visible oral tissues. We also provide a convenient and family-friendly dental practice that makes life easier for you and your family. We schedule appointments that are convenient for the entire family, thus providing your family with a range of modern dentistry services to keep your teeth healthy and beautiful throughout your life.

IMPLANT DENTISTRY

Are you missing teeth? Are your dentures loose? Restore that confident smile with our dental implants. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. We do all kinds of implants - full mouth implant, single tooth implant, full or partial denture replacement. This can be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.

DENTAL FILLINGS

Dental Fillings are used to replace the parts of the tooth that have been lost, due to a number of reasons. These include wear and tear, decay and accidental damage. There are a variety of different materials that can be used for filling teeth. The most common type of filling is dental amalgam. This is made from a mixture of mercury and different metals. Composite or white fillings are less obvious and more natural looking. They are almost identical to the natural tooth.

The different types of fillings are listed below:

Amalgam (Silver Coloured)

Composite/White (Tooth Coloured)

Gold inlays and onlays (Gold Coloured)

Porcelain inlays (Tooth Coloured)

What’s the difference between inlays and onlays?

Inlays and onlays provide an alternative to fillings. They are usually stronger and longer-lasting than fillings. Inlays sit in a hole on the tooth and onlays sit on top of the tooth and build up its shape. The tooth is prepared in the same way for inlays/onlays, as it is for a filling. Inlays and onlays are usually more expensive than traditional fillings, as they’re more durable.

Your dentist can recommend the type of filling most appropriate for your dental needs. At Al Rabeeh Dental Centre, we use the latest, state-of-the-art dental materials for procedures. Accompanied with the most innovative techniques, we can ensure you receive the best treatment and results. We put the patient first, and make sure that your treatment plan and pricing is transparent and open.

VENEERS

Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain bonded firmly to your teeth to recreate the natural shade and shape of your original teeth. In cases of severe discoloration, fractures or tooth wear, they are very effective in restoring the original look of your teeth. They can also be used to transform your smile in cases where spacing or crowding is a concern.

What is a veneer?

A veneer is a custom-made, thin layer of porcelain that is securely bonded to the front surface of your teeth. This is to recreate the natural shape and appearance of the tooth. A precisely coloured shade of porcelain is used to closely match the colour of your natural teeth. This is something you can agree with your dentist upon. Some patients often chose to whiten their teeth first before having veneers placed.

DENTURES

A denture is a custom-made appliance that is worn over the gums to replace missing natural teeth. They are normally removable and are usually made from lifelike resin teeth bonded to an acrylic or chrome base. Dentures help to improve chewing ability and speech. They also provide support for facial muscles by filling out your face and improving confidence as a result.

Your dentist may offer one of the following options:

A Complete denture (a full set) replaces your upper or lower natural teeth

Partial dentures that replace one or a few teeth and that are held in place by metal clips

Is Pelvic Floor Repair Major Surgery? by Restore Your Core

via

Pelvic floor repair surgery is the most common surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. Pelvic floor repair is a broad term used to classify a variety of simple, surgical procedures for repairing the pelvic floor. The three surgeries for pelvic floor prolapse include anterior repair, posterior repair, and a hysterectomy.

Although Restore Your Core does not provide any surgical treatment for pelvic floor issues, my hope is that this article may answer any questions you may have regarding pelvic floor repair and the various procedures and treatments involved in getting you back to a healthy, active lifestyle.

What are the Symptoms of Pelvic Organ Prolapse?

Prolapse can affect several abdominal organs. These organs are said to prolapse if they descend into or out of the vaginal canal or anus. The medical terminology for these occurrences include:

Cystocele: prolapse of the bladder into the vagina, the most common condition

Urethrocele: prolapse of the urethra (the tube that carries urine)

Uterine prolapse

Vaginal vault prolapse: prolapse of the vagina

Enterocele: Small bowel prolapse

Rectocele: Rectum prolapse

What Causes Pelvic Organ Prolapse?

There are many factors that are thought to cause a prolapse. In most cases, anything that may apply or put increased pressure in the abdomen can lead to a pelvic organ prolapse. Some of the common causes may include:

Pregnancy, labor, and childbirth are the most common causes

Obesity

Connective tissue disorders

Respiratory problems with a chronic, long-term cough

Constipation

Genetic factors

Pelvic organ cancers

Surgical removal of the uterus (hysterectomy)

Diastasis recti (weakened core, connective tissues)

Symptoms

The symptoms of a prolapse somewhat depend on which organ has descended. If you are suffering from a bladder prolapse, urinary incontinence may occur. If it is a rectal prolapse, constipation, painful bowel movements, and painful sex often occur. Lower back pain, painful sex, and bowel obstruction or incontinence tend to accompany a small intestine prolapse as well. If you are suffering from a prolapse of the uterus, you may also suffer from uncomfortable intercourse, incontinence, and lower back pain.

In some cases, there may never be signs of a prolapse or the presence of any painful symptoms. However, in others some women report symptoms ranging from:

Pressure or sense of fullness in the pelvic area

Lower back pain

Painful sex

Sensation of something falling out of the vagina

Urinary incontinence or frequent urination

Constipation

Spotting or bleeding from the vagina

In cases where there may be a severe prolapse, POP symptoms may worsen. One may notice:

Bulging of the vaginal region

Needing manual assistance during a bowel movement

Difficulty urinating, spraying stream of urine

The need to lift the bulging vagina in order to urinate

Urinary leakage during intercourse

Recurrent UTIs or kidney infections

How long does a pelvic floor repair operation take?

The length of the surgical procedure can vary greatly from patient to patient. The general estimate for the surgery ranges from around 3-5 hours, but may have a shorter or longer duration depending on various factors. Some of the elements that may determine the length of the operation can include:

Internal anatomy

Shape of the pelvis

Weight

Internal scarring or inflammation

Prior abdominal/pelvic floor surgery

Does Surgery Really Work?

Surgery to fix a uterine prolapse are usually successful. In most patients the surgeries for POP have been reported to have an 80% – 95% success rate.

The success rate for sacrospinous ligament fixation (surgery to correct the bulging of the vagina) ranges between 80% – 90%, for uterosacral ligament suspension (surgery restoring support to the top of the vagina) is also 80%-90% successful, and sacrocolpopexy (surgery fixing the vaginal vault and the cervix) and sacrohysteropexy (fixing the prolapse of the uterus) have also shown the same success rate.

However, even after prolapse surgery, there is still a chance that another part of the vagina or uterus may prolapse.

What Can I Expect After POP Surgery?

These are the general guidelines that doctors will usually give post POP OP (this is not medical advice): Each day in recovery you can expect to begin to feel stronger. During your recovery, you may need to remain on pain medication for about a week or two and may experience fatigue and weakness. A typical recovery time line varies from 4 to 6 weeks until you recover from an open surgery and anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks to recover from vaginal surgery. Your doctor should give you more specific guidelines.

During your recovery period, you should avoid any sexual activity, vigorous exercise, heavy lifting, or any activities that may put pressure or strain your operation area. Your doctor should give you more specific guidelines. The most important aspect to your quick recovery is rest – getting enough sleep will help you recover.

During your recovery, you might experience vaginal discharge or light bleeding. If so, avoid using tampons or douche. Use a sanitary pad if necessary. Your doctor should give you more specific guidelines.

How long do you stay in the hospital after prolapse surgery?

After your prolapse surgery, it is likely that you will need to remain hospitalized for 2 – 3 days depending on the operation and any underlying medical conditions you have. During this time your medical care takers will help ensure your recovery by monitoring for any potential complications and providing clean, sanitized treatment of the operation site.

Are There Complications with Prolapse Surgery?

Although pelvic surgery has proven to be a very safe procedure, as with any surgery, there are a few risks and potential complications that can arise. Please discuss this with your doctor but the common ones include:

Bleeding

Infection

Tissue or organ injury

Hernia

Conversion to open surgery

Urinary incontinence

Urinary retention

Vesicovaginal fistula (rare, abnormal connection between vagina and bladder)

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms of complications, it is important that you seek medical assistance. In some cases these symptoms can be common and unserious, but it is always best to consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

Can pelvic floor muscles be repaired?

If you have experienced a prolapse, uterine or otherwise, it can be a shocking and painful experience. However, there are ways to decrease symptoms without surgery.

Nonsurgical Treatments

There are several ways in which to treat a uterine or vaginal prolapse. The three most common approaches are pessary, restorative exercises, and biofeedback therapy.

Pessary

A pessary is probably one of the first treatments your doctor will recommend if you have symptoms of POP. A pessary is a ring shaped device that is inserted into your vagina. This will help support your pelvic organs. Being fitted for a pessary is a lot like being fitted for a diaphragm. Many of my clients with severe POP find that a pessary is useful for allowing them to live fuller lives while they slowly use PT and exercise to help resolve the prolapse.

Restorative Exercises & Physical Therapy

Pelvic floor exercises help strengthen your pelvic muscles. Although the most common exercise recommended by health professionals today is the kegel exercise, there are many more exercises that you can do that are helpful for restoring PF function and giving support for your pelvic organs. Kegels are a pretty outdated model of care when used alone, without a more whole body approach to healing.

What is involved in pelvic floor reconstruction?

Pelvic floor reconstruction surgery is a group of procedures that are performed to treat prolapse of uterus, rectum, small intestines, or other pelvic organs.

Anterior Vaginal Repair

Anterior repair is a surgical procedure that seeks to reinforce weakened layers between the bladder and the vagina. This surgery helps relieve symptoms such as vaginal bulging and to improve bladder function.

The surgery can be performed under general anaesthetic. The most common method of anterior repair is by an incision made along the centre of the front wall of the vagina – starting at the entrance and ending at the top of the vagina. The weakened layers are then repaired and anu superfluous tissue is removed. This is typically done with absorbable stitches.

Posterior Vaginal Repair

A back wall (posterior) vaginal prolapse is usually caused by weakness in the tissues and muscles that divide the vagina from the lower part of the bowel. This surgical procedure is performed to order to repair or restore the weakened layers between the rectum and the vagina.

As with an anterior vaginal repair surgery, posterior repair surgery is usually performed under general anesthetic. The procedure involves a minor incision being made along the back wall of the vagina starting at the entrance and finishing near the top. The weakened layers are then repaired using absorbable stitches.

Vaginal Hysterectomy

A vaginal hysterectomy is typically performed with a prolapsed uterus. This is when the uterus (womb) descends into the vagina and in some severe cases, protrudes or extends outside of the vaginal canal. The surgery is performed by removing the uterus through the vagina.

A vaginal hysterectomy is performed under general or spinal anaesthetic. In order to remove the uterus, the surgeon will make an incision at the top of the vagina around the cervix, clears the bowel and bladder from the uterus, and cuts through the connecting tissues to remove the uterus. The surgeon will then close the vaginal vault and commonly adds additional supporting stitches as the surgery is being performed.

Does Physical Therapy Help Post-Surgery?

If you are meeting with a physical / occupational therapist or taking part in a rehabilitation program Restore Your Core, post-surgery, some of the common exercises and techniques consist of:

Posture

Spine, pelvis, and hip alignment is necessary for a sustained recovery. Being mindful of good posture will help relieve any additional strain or pressure you apply to your pelvic region.

Restful Poses

These poses are positions which utilize gravity to encourage the pelvic organs to be “repositioned” back into the pelvic cavity.

Lower abdominal Exercises

This involves contracting the lower abdominal muscles while practicing dynamic and static exercises. If done correctly, it can limit the stress placed on the interior organs during activities which increase intra-abdominal pressure (i.e. squats).

PFM Strengthening

PFM strengthening exercises are a great way to help get your body back to its normal function and to heal from POP surgery. I advise getting instruction from a pelvic floor specialist who is trained in assessing the whole person to determine the appropriate exercise routines for you.

In my program, Restore Your Core, I cover many helpful exercises and routines that can help heal POP and any abdominal or core issues. To learn more about restorative exercises for uterine prolapse or other abdominal issues, consider checking out one of my previous blog posts on core workouts and exercises.
