wherein the system is configured to lift and thereby impart the breast with a natural shape.
The present invention is generally in the field of breast shape correction and more specifically it is concerned with breast lifting.
The system according to the present invention may be applied only for the purpose of breast lifting, where the shape of a female's breast is altered or revised, without carrying out a surgery, i.e. only effecting the actual shape of the breasts, without removing breast tissue and without augmentation (adding implants of any type). However, the system may also be applied in conjunction with breast augmentation or breast size reduction, which are surgical procedures.
Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and the force of gravity take their toll on a woman's breasts. This situation is known as ptosis and is defined as a situation at which the nipple-areola complex projection is lower then the infra-mammary fold, i.e. the nipple is below the level of the lower breast crease. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag, obtaining a teardrop like shape rather then a cone-like shape. Breast lifting, also referred to by the alternative names mastopexy and manzmoplasty, is a procedure used for reshaping saggy and loose breasts, elevating the nipple and areola to a higher level and, thus affording the breast its former shape and firmness which can result in a revitalized body image that can bolster a woman's self-esteem.
Many women use a push-up bra to support their breasts. This however is at times uncomfortable and may be restricting as far as the selection of clothing.
Mastopexy procedure according to prior art techniques involves reducing ptosis (sagging of the breast caused by stretched skin, in many cases due to a great loss of breast tissue). During a breast lift, long incisions are made along the natural creases in the breast and around the dark skin surrounding the nipple (areola), a keyhole-shaped incision above the areola is also made to define the new location for the nipple. Excess skin is removed from the lower section of the breast and the areola, nipple, and underlying breast tissue are repositioned up to a higher position.
The nipple is moved and incisions are closed with sutures.
Several methods for performing a mastopexy are known, and the technique opted for depends mainly on the amount of breast and fat tissue, the amount of skin to be removed, symmetry in volume of breasts and size of areolas, and choice and taste of patient. Since the procedure involves surgery, it may be coupled with breast augmentation and with resizing or repositioning of the areola to a more aesthetically pleasing position and the shape of the mound may be improved by placement of breast implants. Occasionally, only a one-sided breast lift is required, when the other breast is in a reasonable position on the chest and does not require a breast lift.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,676,161 to Breiner discloses a mastopexy procedure according to which an anchor-shaped incision is made, having a bottom line along the infra-mammary crease, using a circular cutter to form the top portion of the incision and an incision around the areola to reduce the diameter thereof. After removing excess skin inside the incision, and breast tissue in the case of mammaplasty, shifting the areola, nipple and underlying breast tissue upward to position the areola/nipple complex within the circular top portion, pulling the flaps of skin formed to the sides of the incision down and around the areola and underneath same, and then suturing adjacent skin edges to complete the lifting and reshaping.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,584,884 to Pignataro discloses a mammary prosthesis comprising a wedge shaped sheet of flexible biocompatible material having reinforced upper and lower attachment portions for attachment to bone of a patient by bone anchors, with the lower attachment portion being anchored to one or more ribs. The lower attachment portion includes a support member less flexible than the sheet material having suture receiving openings for receiving bone anchor sutures.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,217,494 to Coggins et al. discloses a prosthesis for supporting tissue which among others may be used also in a breast lift procedure, wherein one end of the prosthesis is implanted deep into the breast tissue and the opposed end is attached to either the clavicle or the rib.
These procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia, though at times local anesthesia is sufficient, and they may last several hours, depending on the extent of the surgery.
As with any surgery, there is always a possibility of complications such as a reaction to the anesthesia, bleeding and infection (which may cause scars to widen).
Mastopexy does leave noticeable, permanent scars, although are so planned as to be concealed by a woman's bra or bathing suit. One may expect that after about one year the scars will hardly be noticeable. As far as aesthetics, there may also be some dissatisfaction, as the final appearance may not always meet the patient's expectations. Furthermore, a breast lift performed according to conventional techniques won't keep firm forever, the effects of gravity, pregnancy, aging, and weight fluctuations will eventually take their toll again.
It is an aspect of the present invention to provide a novel system and a method for breast lifting, wherein the above drawbacks are significantly reduced or overcome. The system according to the invention and the method for carrying it out are minimally invasive and may be considered as non-surgical, i.e. they do not involve incisions (but rather two or four stab incisions) and removal of excess skin, nor do they require stitches. However, the system may also be used in conjunction with breast enlargement (breast augmentation with mastopexy) or breast size reduction, which are surgical procedures.
The present invention provides a system for breast lifting, wherein one or more anchors are fixed to a posture tissue, above the desired nipple level with one or more suspending members cradling the breast and extending from the one or more anchors, such that tensioning the suspending members entails lifting of the breast.
The posture tissue is preferably a bone (ribs or collar bone), though it may also be a muscle tissue (pectoral or intercostals). For each breast, anchors may be fixed to one or more posture, depending on the physiology/anatomy of the patient, the shape of the breast prior to lifting, and the desired lifting result. An anchor may be a bolt fixture or a threaded fixture typically, but not restricted thereto, a self tapping screw) for screw-fixation into a bone, a suspending hook for bearing from a bone, i.e. clinging from the bone, or a clasp formed with hooks for grasping soft tissue (muscle). Alternatively, where the posture tissue is a muscle, the suspension member may be fixed thereto by stitching. According to still an alternative, the suspension member may be attached to a bone by tying or yarning it through a bore formed through the bone.
A suspension member according to the invention may be a tendon-like wire or a mesh, made of organic material (e.g. tendons), or synthetic material (e.g. silicone, Gortex, etc.).
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the suspension member is formed with or comprises a cradling portion or a cradling member respectively, having increased surface area than the suspension member, for supporting the breast from below and padding it, said cradle being a mesh, a strap or a tube-like member mounted on a wire-like suspension member.
A significant advantage of the present invention, apart from the fact that it is a so called minimal invasive procedure, is that the aesthetic results and appearance may be modified to match with customer's expectations during, or any time after the procedure, i.e. corrections may be easily effected after a while (typically several years), if ptosis reoccurs.
The proposed procedure approves well with other medical procedures and may be combined with breast enlargement (augmentation) or breast reduction.
Even more so, the procedure is completely reversible. Apart from that the procedure is fast and relatively inexpensive, and the patient is dismissed shortly after, leaving practically no scars.
The procedure according to the present invention is carried out by inserting a tool through one or two locations at a bottom face of the breast, directed towards the posture tissue such that it passes through the breast tissue. The tool is used for fixing the anchor to the posture, and according to an embodiment thereof, the tool is also used for guiding and manipulating the suspension member so as to cradle the breast and then tensioning the suspension member at the required extent.
In some cases, depending among others on breast size, two sets of such system may be required for a breast, so as to improve the under support.
According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided a method for breast lift, said method comprises the following steps: a) introducing through the breast at least one anchor and fixing it to a posture tissue; b) yarning a suspension member through the breast; said suspension member extending from said at least one anchor and passing within fat tissue at a bottom portion of the breast so as to cradle the breast; c) tensioning the suspension member to thereby lift the breast; and d) fixating the length of the suspension member.
An alternative method comprises the following steps: a) yarning a cradling member of a suspension member through the breast, at a bottom thereof, such that loose ends thereof extend from the breast; b) fixing at least one anchor to a posture tissue, at a level above the desired nipple level; c) attaching a suspension member to the at least one anchor; d) articulating the loose ends of the cradling member to the suspension member and fixedly adjusting the length thereof.
According to a preferred embodiment, two anchors are fixed to the posture tissue, with a suspension member extending from each one, such that the loose ends of the cradling member are articulated to each respective end of a suspension member. Still preferably, excessive ends of the suspension members and of the cradling member, are trimmed.
The method according to an embodiment thereof further comprises fitting a cradle member on the suspension member, for supporting the breast from below. According to one application, the cradle member is a strap-like portion (possibly a mesh-like material) continuously extending from the suspension member.
According to a different application, the cradle member is integral with or mounted over a supplementary member fixedly attached to the suspension member, whereby the breast height is set by adjusting the relative length of the suspension member and the supplementary member.
Where the system is used in conjunction with a breast enlarging procedure, the cradling portion may directly support the implant.
The present invention has several significant advantages, namely: a) the mere incisions are two or four stab incision, which are fast healing and practically leave no scars; b) the procedure is considerably shorter than any prior art procedure; c) the procedure may be carried out under local anesthesia, whereby the patient may be dismissed shortly after; d) the procedure is adjustable and reversible at any time; e) the procedure is considerably cheaper then any prior art procedure; and f) the procedure does not affect sensitivity of the breast or nipple and it does not have any consequences concerning breast feeding.
For carrying out the procedure of the present invention, there is provided a tool kit, which depending on the specific procedure, will include one or more of the following tools: a) tool for stabbing the breast and yarning a cradling member there through, such that its free ends extend from the breast; the same tool may be used for creating a passage through the breast for the suspension member; b) tool for deploying and fixing the anchors to a posture tissue (bolting or screwing in the case of a bone posture; stitching in the case of muscle tissue); this tool is also used for yarning the suspension member which is articulated to the anchor; c) tool for articulating and tensioning ends of the cradling member to the suspension members, and for adjusting the length, fixating and trimming excessive ends.
However, according to different applications, rather than using a tool, the slack end of the cradling member and the corresponding slack end of the suspension member, may be manually tensioned and tied to one another, their ends being trimmed by conventional means.
The present invention further calls for a tool useful in carrying out a procedure according to the invention, said tool adapted for tensioning and clamping cord-like slack ends of the cradling member and a corresponding suspension member; said tool comprising a housing fitted at a fore end with a cord receiving opening for receiving two or more cords, a clamp deploying mechanism for clampingly articulating the at least two cords, and a cord trimming mechanism for trimming the cords adjacent the clamp.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a kit for performing a breast-lift procedure, the kit comprising at least one set of suspension members, anchoring means for anchoring a suspension member to a posture tissue, and means for tensioning and fixating the suspension member. The kit may also comprise one or more breast-cradling/padding members and one or more tools, e.g. a tool to facilitate tensioning clamping and trimming of a suspension member and a cradling member.
In order to understand the invention and to see how it may be carried out in practice, some embodiments will now be described, by way of non-limiting examples only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

At a first step, after locally anesthesia of the beast 40, two stab incisions 42 are formed at a bottom portion of the breast, with a surgical tool 44 (
The band-like portion 56 as well as the yarns 52 may be made of organic material, e.g. tendons, or synthetic material e.g. Gortex, etc.
Using tool 45, two passages 58 are made (
Using a different tool designated 80 (such a tool is disclosed in more detail with reference to
Once the breast 40 assumes the desired repositioning and form, a fixing clamp 88 is applied by tool 80 (
The tool is then removed and shortly after the patient may be dismissed, with complete healing expected in a matter of days, essentially not leaving any noticeable scars.
According to a different application, rather than using a tool, the slack end 52 of the cradling member and the corresponding slack end 76 of the suspension member may be manually tensioned and tied to one another, their ends being trimmed by conventional means, as known in the art of suturing.
Further attention is now directed to
First, two stab incisions 94 and 96 are made at a bottom portion of the breast 98, and a corresponding passage 100 and 102 is formed extending towards a suitable posture tissue, rib 104 in the present example (
The free end 114 is then yarned back through the incision 94, through the transverse passage 109 and out through the second incision 96, leaving a looped portion 120 extending from the first incision 94 (
The loose end 130 is then pulled in direction of arrow 134 (
As mentioned in connection with the embodiment of
The loose end 130 is then trimmed, possibly by tool 136 (
The breast 212 in

According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a surgical tool useful in carrying out the method disclosed with reference to
The tool 250 has a general pistol-like shape having a gripping portion 252 fitted with a clamping trigger 256, and a stem portion 258 having a fore end 260.
At least the fore end is sized for inserting through a stab-incision formed in a breast, as illustrated for example in
Coaxially received within the central bore 268 there is a trimmer 280 having a trimming end 282 at a fore end and a pusher 286 at its rear end, said pusher comprising two bores 287. Two bores 288 and 290 extend through a portion of the stem portion 258, fitted for receiving the end of the cradling member 52 and a corresponding end of the suspension member 76.
In use, the end of the cradling member 52 and the suspension member 76 are threaded through the locking member 266, yarned through the bores 288 and 290 respectively, then extending through the rear end 274 and through the bores 287 (
Then, pusher 286 is axially pressed in a forward direction as illustrated by arrow 294, entailing the trimming end 282 to shear the cradling member 52 and of the suspension member 76 (
The tool 250 may be disposable or, according to a different embodiment may be made of a material suitable for reuse (after sterilization), where spare plugs (and their associated plug-stems) are provided.
Whilst some embodiments have been described and illustrated with reference to some drawings, it will be appreciated that many changes may be made therein without departing from the general spirit and scope of the invention, mutatis, mutandis.

What a fun season this one's been. First team in MLB to win 80 games. Good pitching, timely hitting, and great defense.
And all this with a decent amount of obstacles to overcome:
- Best player (Votto) out for nearly two months
- Closer (Madson) out for entire season
- Rolen's nagging injuries causing him to miss significant time
- Other bullpen issues (Bray out most of the season, Masset out for the entire year)
- No true leadoff hitter
- Very little production from the 1 and 2 hitters
- Mesoroco not living up to expectations
And I'm sure there are more (feel free to add to the list).
But the bottom line is that Dusty deserves credit. Walt deserves credit. And, of course, the players deserve credit. They've stepped up.
As much as we moan and complain about Dusty's lineups and in-game decisions, the bottom line is that this team has the best record in baseball right now...in spite of the issues listed. Amazing.

Using tJavaRow - input_row and output_row (for row by row transformation)
In this post i will like to explain a very simple and basic usage of tJavaRow.
Lets say you need to do some transformation on every row of your input data. You can do this by using tMap, tJavaFlex, tJavaRow and others.
for now i will focus on tJavaRow. Its a good practice to use input_row and output_row as objects which can be used to fetch values of your columns.
|using tJavaRow
Fixedflowinput returns two rows and we pass each row via tJavaRow and append text "-XYZ" to name and finally pass this as output to tLogRow.
code of tJavaRow...notice the usage of input_row and output_row here..
output_row.id = input_row.id;
output_row.name = input_row.name+"-XYZ";
output_row.name = input_row.name+"-XYZ";

Jon Asamoah
Illinois Senior
PROS: Has good pop off the snap and gets position. Uses his hands well, locks on, and finishes his blocks. Shows good mean streak. Has the ability to adjust in space and shows good footwork in pass protection. Is mobile, pulls well, and hits his assigmnents. Does a nice job on the second level and shows some ability to cut block.
CONS: Lacks power and bulk to really drive defender at the point of attack. Can be stiff-hipped at times and has trouble with quicker defenders. Will lunge and overextend trying to deliver hand punch, and at times too much of a waist-bender. Doesn't always get the seal on the linebacker when blocking in space.
OVERVIEW: He's a polished guard that works well in a short area because of his hand use, but could get stronger. Started 37 straight games at right guard.
NFL FORECAST: I think he has the potential to play center or guard at the next level. I'm not aware of him having any experience playing the pivot, but if he doesn't take to guard as well as hoped initially a few years down the road he might make a better center. He's a solid workman that I think could come in right away and be a competent starting guard for some team. He probably would work best in a zone-blocking scheme or any scheme that likes to pull their interior linemen a lot or get them out on the second level. He is going to need to get stronger before he can reach his maximum potential. He's a workman-like player that I think can be a very good guard, although he may not be an elite guy because he possesses subpar athleticism. I'm not sure he'll ever be a true road-grader like many teams want at this position, but in a zone-blocking scheme he's a guy that can open holes for quicker backs because he gets good position and holds his blocks.
ATL FORECAST: Asamoah has a chance to stick in Atlanta because he has many of the traits that Boudreau likes. He could push Dahl right away for the starting right guard spot, but likely wouldn't win it. Probably wouldn't beat out Blalock initially because he's not used to playing on the left. But he could be ready to take over either one of the guard spots by his second year, and could potentially be moved to center by his third if/when McClure hangs it up. Basically, I suspect Asamoah will become a starter for the Falcons at one of the interior positions by the end of his third year and should be a nice fixture there. May not be an elite blocker, but can be a very effective guy that can be an above average to good run and pass blocker.
VALUE: Asamoah is a nice third round guard that could even get some looks in the latter part of the second round for a zone-blocking team looking for an immediate contributor on the right side.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite

Editorial: Romney hopes VP choice will reassure right
Mitt Romney, who does not seem the gambling type, took, for him, an uncharacteristic political risk in choosing Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate.
Mr. Ryan, 42, is little known outside of Washington. What he is known for — turning Medicare into a voucher system and adding individual accounts to Social Security — is not particularly popular with older voters, a vital electoral demographic.
But, Republicans do hope to capitalize on anti-Washington sentiment this fall. But by no stretch of the imagination can Mr. Ryan be considered an outsider. He came to the Capitol fresh out of college and has been there ever since, first as a staffer, then as a member of Congress.
House members because of their comparative obscurity are not usually anyone's first choice for the second spot on the ticket. The last House member to fill Mr. Ryan's role was Geraldine Ferraro, a New York Democrat, and she and Walter Mondale went down to a crushing defeat.
Mr. Romney could have gone with the two safer choices among his finalists: Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, who could help deliver that key swing state, and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, an indefatigable campaigner and a veteran of two unsuccessful runs for the presidency.
Mr. Ryan's appeal to women voters, independents and wavering Democrats is likely to be weak, but that's not his role. The choice was to fire up the Republican right, which has been openly skeptical of Mr. Romney, who enacted the prototype for Obamacare.
He also brings something else to the table: He could turn out to be a prodigious fundraiser. His selection brought in $3.5 million the day it was announced.
As he contemplated running for president, Mr. Romney began reversing or discarding long-held positions in preparation for seeking the nomination in an increasingly conservative GOP.
His choice of Paul Ryan completes that migration to the right.

Very good holiday the staff were very helpful and friendly and when we had a problem with the electric someone came round stright away. The site was clean and the club had good activities for the kids there was a nice park and the shop had most things you need the beech was close for the dog and the site was in close proximity to local attractions. The miniature railway that went through the campsite gave the site that bit extra was good unudual touch and the staff onrailway were friendly. Would definitely recommend this site and return.
Lovely clean caravan, lovely clean site, lovely friendly staff.
Restaurant staff pleasant and helpful,welcoming staff also.
At first entering site it looks clean and modern, further in you come across dirty ,sightly chalets, a small handful have been updated and I would assume these are privately owned.There are some beautiful privately owned caravans on site but seem that those let out to holiday makers leave a lot to be desired as was the case with ours.
We had a silver caravan as we have done many times with Park Resorts at different sites,but this one was not up to usual standards.The caravan was clean so was bed and very comfy but heated towel rail had been taken off and not replaced I asked housekeeping who were going to refer it to maintenance ,we never heard any more.Upholstery smelt musty and floor had moved and bubbled up,fridge door was rusty at the bottom and freezer box needed defrosting now this is only May beginning of the season so surely all those little jobs should have been done.?Had we been staying longer than a weekend I would have wanted to change caravans.We have booked a 4 nights at a site in Clacton in July and hope our experience is a better one.
The small pool was out of action while we were there which was disappointing and made the shallow end of the main pool quite crowded.
In-house entertainment was disappointing but the acts from outside were very good.
Location is great- easy to get around the area and right next to the sandy beach. We have a train enthusiast in the family and he adored having the RHD railway station right on the site!
We would definitely be up for a return visit one day.
Caravan was nice and we had a great time. Food and drink is pretty expensive in the club house but obviously you can cook in your caravan if you need too. The entertainment was pretty good. All in all no complaints from us.
This is the second time we have stayed here and were more impressed this time as the the mobile we were in was situated in such a good position ,we found we were not looking into anyone else's windows and vice versa. Beautifully clean and we were very impressed with the whiteness of the bed linen , I wish I could get whites like that
Had a fantastic time, caravan beautiful and staff so good with my little girl. Will be booking again later this year
First appearances were good but as you got further in to the camp the quality vanished and became a rundown camp. Caravans for sale parked in all sorts of spaces.The appartment we had was however very good,but did we have to have a scaffold tower outside our kitchen window?
The place seriously needs a makeover - we had a "platinum" caravan and our parking area was behind the entertainment complex - looked like a wasteland with a backdrop of rotting old chalets. We only noticed on the Friday night an awful smell in the living room - a stench of cat urine. As we were only there a weekend and with out 3 year old it was too much a hassle to report and complain - we just made good use of the scented candles dotted around the room. The caravan was in a very bad state - broken old carriage clock with missing pendulum, smashed and missing light fittings in the kitchen, lots of net curtain fixing wires around on units but no net curtains so in full view of all passers by, and a missing front door in the bedroom overbed unit, oh and did I mention the cat urine smell?! The patio furniture was rotten and corroded and i would not have dared put a thimble on the glass table for fear if it collapsing (older rusted chairs had just been thrown under the decking). I did write a long note to the reception staff and must admit I was very disappointed to have received no reply. Was disappointed that the pub on the front of the site was shut - had no idea from the brochure it was only open in season. The grounds were in sore need of TLC it looked very unloved. A small issue but we were surprised that you couldn't buy crisps from the clubhouse bar - but there were 2 types in a vending machine. BUT ... On the plus side - Nice beach walks along the coast opposite the park and some really lovely, friendly and hardworking reception and entertainment staff - good luck to them :).
Go food and the children loved the disco.
I booked a gold caravan and must say it was wonderful. We had an amazing view over a nature reserve behind the site and it was beautiful and peaceful. Had a minor drama the first night when using the toaster made the power go out and I had to walk in the dark to the complex to ask for help. First person I asked wasn't very helpful said I had to find the security. But I asked at the bar and they sorted it out very quickly. By the time I had walked back the guy was outside fixing it. Only other slight moan was the crazy golf which people were playing we were told we couldn't get any clubs from the bar as the swimming pool staff in charge of them and it closed at 4, my son was upset as he had seen people playing. But the man answered they must have their own clubs and balls.
I would most certainly stay here again it was very clean and peaceful.
Very nice caravan. Spotless. Lovely food at the club house. Wasn't so keen on how crowded it was.
Swimming pool was excellent with very attentive lifeguards.
My boys loved every minute of it. They didn't want to come home!!!!
Stayed 4 nights in a gold caravan. The caravan was lovely, spacious and clean. There was plenty to do. Kids absolutely loved it. Would def go again
Comfortable and clean, as we went out of season we experienced some very cold mornings. Would contemplate upgrading to a centrally heated accommodation for this time of year
We found stay our stay very very enjoyable, peaceful and comfortable. We are absolutely thrilled with the whole experience and definitely coming back next summer. This time we've decided to upgrade to "gold+" although our previous "bronze" was more than adequate.
The scenery was breathtaking, but the pace of life in this part of Kent was the highlight and what we hoped for.
See you again next summer.
Shaun & Jeff
