PLASTIC SURGERY or WE ARE PLAYING GOOD?
PART 1
What today is plastic surgery?
For me it's largely a game of being God, or sculptors. Today's canons of beauty are based on so shallow notion of femininity.
It's sometimes hard to distinguish a man from a woman and vice versa.
Treatment of so-called - aesthetic medicine, is nothing but a correction, zoom in, zoom out, suction.
Today a woman wanting to be beautiful, must be slim, tall, athletic with fawless skin.
But is it really attractive based solely on external appearance?
I think that in our times, plastic surgery is no longer associated with the provision of assistance after severe burns,
and the innovative face transplant after the tragic accident, or congenital lesions.
Today, plastic surgery, we associate with overgrown breasts, perfectly contoured nose, waist, hair,
or a well-stretched leather face.
In the minds of many Americans, well-established principle that even obese people can "do" beauty.
Therefore, many of them do not pay attention to diet, because wanting to be thinner, will opt for liposuction.
Geographical Trends
The global study revealed ISAPS new ranking of countries that carry out most of surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments. Even though the United States continues to dominate in this area, there are countries that have not always been associated with plastic surgery, they are now the main centers.
25 leading countries and regions:
1. United States
2. China
3. Brazil
4. India
5. Mexico
6. Japan
7. South Korea
8. Germany
9. Turkey
10. Spain
11. Argentina
12. Russia
13. Italy
14. France
15. Canada
16. Taiwan
17. United Kingdom
18. Colombia
19. Greece
20. Thailand
21. Australia
22. Venezuela
23. Saudi Arabia
24. Netherlands
25. Portugal
The main "ve non-surgical treatments include:
- injecting toxins and neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport) (32.7%)
- injection of hyaluronic acid (20.1%)
- Laser Hair Removal (13.1%)
- injecting autologous adipose tissue
(fat download patient from one place and move it to another location in the same patient) (5.9%)
- IP laser treatment (4.4%).
Among the countries in which non-surgical treatments were performed, dominated the United States, Brazil,
Mexico and China and to a lesser extent, Japan, Hungary, South Korea, India and Germany.

Errors in the arts, have become a nightmare of plastic surgery. Far advanced facial asymmetry, oversized lips, "lled with botox, or face more animal-like face.
These are just some of the terrible effects of plastic surgery. Sometimes complications after such operations lead to a permanent disability or death. Infections and other side effects, make a simple cosmetic procedure end in tragedy for a lifetime. There are many examples of how a relentless commitment to excellence made just the opposite effect.
Fascinated American series named NIP / TUCK, very accurately caricature job of a plastic surgeon.
I created a short animation showing a few interesting facts.
What do you think about improving the natural beauty to be attractive to others?
Should not it be that you !rst have to accept yourself, you have to accept?

The Universe as Electric Conductor Part I
Hi there! This semester I would like to introduce to you my recent passion. It is the theory of electric universe, which can turn our understanding of the space up side down. Over the recent years, there has been a flurry of activity and interest among certain scientific circles, (and even among the general lay public interested in the field), in an exciting new field of cosmology known as the Electric Universe.

Although it has generated intense skeptical responses and controversy from the conventional establishment of scientific bodies, (who have even deemed it as a “pseudoscience” and “attempts to rewrite the known laws of physics”,
it is reported to have evolved from the voluminous publications of scientific journals that include the work of as illustrious individuals as Nobel Laureate Hannes Alfven, Norwegian physicist Kristian Birkeland, and Nikola Tesla among others.
Do you know any other popular scientists excluding Hawkins?
Have you seen Thunder Bolds of Gods movie?
http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/13293/Nikola_tesla_and_The_Electric_Universe/
The adherents of this science propose that it is electricity that maneuvers the galaxies, spawns the stars, provides the energy for solar combustions and even hurls the comets through space. How does this translate to common language? The general convention in the mainstream scientific world holds that the universe is electrically neutral and purely mechanical, and that it is the weak force of gravity and inertia that plays a dominant role. The electric universe model, on the other hand, highlights the plasma cosmology concept, which emphasizes the electro-dynamic nature of the universe. By the way, have you even seen working tesla coil?
Plasma that permeates more than 90% of the universe is explained as the FIRST state of matter that has its constituents made up of ‘positive’ ions and free-floating ‘negative’ electrons, and has the form of an ionized gas.
When plasma cools, it assumes the properties of matter we recognize in the conventional other three states, of solid, liquid and gas. Another common misapprehension is that space is largely empty, devoid of any kind of matter.
http://www.nasaimages.org/luna/servlet/detail/NVA2~8~8~12533~113074:Hubble-Finds-Intergalactic-Stars
This has been found to be grossly false as space is teeming with plasma. Prolific stretches of plasma have been observed traversing millions of light years across intergalactic spaces. The easiest forms of plasma to recognize on Earth are those used in the common neon boards that light up the city night skies. Television screens employ plasma to present visuals. The piercing blue lights of the electric arc welding machines are characteristic of plasma generation. Do you know any other examples of plasma use in our lives?
http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=4773590301316220374&q=thunderbolts&total=184&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0#
The nature of plasma makes it a perfect conductor of electricity. Being composed of free-flowing electrons, they are superior to gold and copper as electrical conductors. The structure of matter is found to be cellular and filamentary presenting complex architecture that is sculpted out of its interaction with electromagnetism.
Mainstream cosmology refuses to acknowledge the role of electricity as a predominant factor while accepting the influence of magnetism as significant. Electrodynamics phenomena are dismissed in terms of obscure ideas of ‘electron rains’ and ‘clouds of ionized gases’. However, the fact that gravity based models of the universe were codified before the advent of space travel and high powered space-based telescopes should explain the constraints on integrating these radically new concepts to widen our horizons.

Plasma being highly scalable has helped scientists produce models on galactic scales. So much so, that these models are so consistent with reality that they have transcended hypothesis and analysis.
http://www.plasmacosmology.net/video.html
The ancient art of sculpting and painting rock (petroglyphs) bears many striking resemblances to the laboratory reproducible plasma phenomena characteristics.
Do you know any examples like Zeus and his sky interpretation?
http://www.maverickscience.com/arch-sun-planets.htm
It is therefore wondered whether the ancients saw a sky quite unlike what we see today. We often ask why our ancestors were so zealous about planets and stars that appear as tiny specks in the sky. Could it be that they were witnessing the plasma phenomena of the younger solar system and that it was part of they religion beliefs?
The author Immanuel Velikovsky, (Worlds in Collision), promoted an interdisciplinary, comparative technique to reveal firm evidence of planetary catastrophe from records of the earliest civilizations. His forensic style was to compare reports of extremely unusual physical events in nature that were reinforced on a global scale by more or less identical reports from cultures completely isolated from each other.
Do you agree with me that such resemblances just must meant something?
Consequently, the model provided the means to make and confirm specific predictions. Velikovsky was proved right when he predicted that Venus would be near incandescently hot, Jupiter would emit radio noise and Moon rocks would be magnetized.
From his observations, Velikovsky explained that the skies look relatively peaceful now, but in those ancient times astral events were clearly visible from across the globe as manifestations of plasma structures morphing into suns, planets and other bodies, perhaps even with activity from within our own solar system.
If it was true would you like to go back in time to witness those changes?
http://www.solarviews.com/eng/venus.htm
With the advent of 20th century invention, instrumentation and space exploration, scientific frontiers were pushed significantly backwards, as the scope of understanding of scientific phenomena widened in literally astronomical terms.
The electric universe model however is yet to bridge a great chasm in trying to integrate with the views of modern cosmology. The precepts of modern cosmology leave wide gaping hiatuses in the explanation of the universe. It claims that the interstellar and intergalactic spaces are an expanse of empty vacuum, leaving the observer isolated and unattached.
How do you find the idea that our sun needs electric current to work?
What if there is a power surge?
