t.he s.ummer i t.urned p.retty bullet point verse write up or: the one in which kie doesn't have powers.

❄️ it comes as a surprise to absolutely no one that prolific actor, evander goossens, as well as his wife saraswati goossens (nee jindal) - the queen of reality tv - have properties all over the place. so, too, do they have a summer home in cousins beach.

❄️ due to the nature of their work, however, it's been years since either evander or saraswati have been there with their daughter. khione aka freeze girl still comes to cousins beach each summer with farzana nayar-patel and her husband jawaharel patel - her parents former p.a.'s turned, well, primary care-givers. (they are the reason why khione isn't like her contemporaries, spoiled rotten to the core).

❄️ said summer home is right next door to the f.ishers, giving khione a front row seat to all of the drama that happens during the warmer months. speaking of: neither c.onrad nor j.eremiah are even on her radar in terms of romance.

❄️ (nor is s.teven c.onklin, who khione is closest to in age.)

❄️ this is mostly due to the fact that khione knows a.ubrey (m.ohana k.rishnan) and n.icole richardson (s.ummer m.adison) who both got their hearts broken (or at least stomped on or squeezed a little) by c.onrad. khione is also friends with s.hayla w.ang (m.innie m.ills) as well as some of the other debutante girls.

❄️ it's b.elly's choice and b.elly's choice alone at the end of the day but khione is more of a b.ellyj.ere shipper than a b.onrad one. (privately she thinks b.elly should just get a girlfriend and leave both of those boys in her proverbial rearview mirror so all of them can heal.)

❄️ (speaking of private thoughts: khione is of the opinion that mrs c.onklin was in love with mrs f.isher and that the feeling may have been mutual but that neither of them could act on said feelings.)

❄️ khione feels as though the nickname b.elly is not a win for the pan-asian collective, as it is very white, but if the c.onklin girl is happy with it, then khione will keep her mouth shut about it.

❄️ tl;dr: khione mostly hangs out with her own friends and tries to dodge the f.isher-c.onklin drama.

❄️ places to find her: the beach / the ocean; the swimming pool in her backyard; the outdoor pool; the boardwalk; the whale-of-a-tail bookstore; the paper lantern.

Astérix le Gaulois / Asterix the Gaul (1967) dr. Ray Goossens

[ftmaussieway]

Hello, My name is Leon. I'm vietnamese.

I have been living in Australia for 1 year and I want to do Phalloplasty by Dr. Hans Goosen.  But I don't have enough money.  I want to sign up for Health Insurance to get free surgery.  Can I ask if insurance will cover it?  And what insurance will cover?  Because in my opinion, Medicare does not pay for transgender surgery.  Please advise me.

Thanks!

Hi, unfortunately in Australia no insurance will cover surgery completely, so having surgery with Goossen will not be free. There are a few private health insurances that will cover the hospital and theatre fees, but you’d still be 70-80k out of pocket for RFF. Abdo phallo and meta is cheaper, but still at least 20k. Medicare does give a small rebate, but not much compared to the total cost. 

I went with Bupa, but there are a few around that will cover the hospital and theatre fees, as they are all standardised now.

Asian elephants prefer habitats on the boundaries of protected areas

https://sciencespies.com/nature/asian-elephants-prefer-habitats-on-the-boundaries-of-protected-areas/

Asian elephants prefer habitats on the boundaries of protected areas

New research, offering the most comprehensive analysis of Asian elephant movement and habitat preference to date, finds that elephants prefer habitats on the periphery of protected areas, rather than the areas themselves. The findings are published in the British Ecological Society’s Journal of Applied Ecology.

An international team of researchers have analysed the movement and habitat preferences of 102 Asian elephants in Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo, recording over 600,000 GPS locations. They found that the majority of elephants spent more than half of their time outside of protected areas, preferring slightly disturbed forests and areas of regrowth.

However, protected areas still played an important role, with the elephants’ biggest preference being for areas within three kilometres of protected area boundaries.

It’s thought that the preference for disturbed forest is related to food habits. Elephants like to eat grasses, bamboo, palms and fast-growing trees, which are common in disturbed environments, but relatively scarce under the canopy of old-growth forests.

Dr Ahimsa Campos-Arceiz from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and the University of Nottingham in Malaysia, and one of the lead authors of the study said: “Our results show that protected areas are very important, but not enough as an overall strategy for Asian elephant conservation.

“Given their preference for habitats outside the protected areas, elephants will inevitably come into conflict with people. This highlights the importance of promoting human-elephant coexistence around protected areas.”

The authors make clear that their findings do not diminish the importance of protected areas, a cornerstone of global conservation strategies. Dr Benoit Goossens from Danau Girang Field Centre and Cardiff University, the other lead author added: “We believe protected areas are the most effective tool for biodiversity conservation in general. In the case of Asian elephants, protected areas provide long-term safety and represent the core areas for elephant conservation.

“Our results show that elephant conservation strategies need to be realistic and acknowledge the nuances of elephant habitat needs and preferences, integrating holistic human-elephant coexistence approaches outside protected areas.”

Based on their findings, the authors make three key recommendations for Asian elephant conservation:

Include large protected areas with core areas where elephants can find safety

Incorporate ecological corridors to connect networks of protected areas

Mitigate against human-elephant conflict, especially around protected areas, with emphasis on protecting people’s safety and livelihoods, as well as promoting tolerance towards elephant presence.

The Sundaic region, where the research took place, is a global hotspot for biodiversity. However, it is estimated that only 50% of the region’s original forest remains and less of 10% of it is formally protected. Asian elephants are endangered and live in highly fragmented landscapes in this region.

Because of the extensive home ranges of Asian elephants, they can often find themselves in human dominated landscapes, which inevitably leads to human-elephant conflict.

In the study, the researchers analysed the movement of 102 Asian elephants, recording over 60,000 GPS locations across the Malay peninsula and Borneo. The data was compiled from over a decade of fieldwork by three research groups.

The researchers then compared this data with the locations of formally protected areas to see how much time elephants spent in these areas and the areas around them.

Protected areas can range dramatically in the level of protection they receive. In this study the authors only included protected areas listed in the World Database of Protected Areas in their analysis. They did not include exploited forest reserves which are used for logging.

Speaking on the next steps for research in this area and Asian elephant conservation, Dr Antonio de la Torre, first author of the study, said: “Human-elephant conflict is now the main threat for Asian elephants, yet we know surprisingly little about the effectiveness of different mitigation strategies and how to promote long-term and sustainable human-elephant coexistence.

“Understanding how we can reduce the costs of this conflict for both people and elephants, and how to increase people’s tolerance towards elephant presence, should be the top research priority in the area.”

New health monitors are flexible, transparent and graphene enabled

New technological gadgets are focusing on non-invasive tracking of important indications not just for physical fitness tracking, however likewise for the avoidance of typical health issues such as cardiac arrest, high blood pressure, and tension associated problems, to name a few. Wearables based upon optical detection systems are showing an important technique for reporting on our bodies inner operations and have actually experienced a big penetration into the customer market over the last few years. Present wearable innovations, based upon non-flexible parts, do not provide the wanted precision and can just keep an eye on a restricted variety of important indications. To tackle this issue, conformable non-invasive optical-based sensing units that can determine a more comprehensive set of important indications are at the top of the end-users’ dream list.

In a current research study released in Science Advances, ICFO scientists have actually shown a new class of flexible and transparent wearable gadgets that are conformable to the skin and can supply constant and precise measurements of several human important indications. These gadgets can determine heart rate, respiration rate and blood pulse oxygenation, along with direct exposure to UV radiation from the sun. While the gadget determines the various specifications, the read-out is imagined and kept on a cellphone user interface linked to the wearable by means of Bluetooth. In addition, the gadget can run battery-free given that it is charged wirelessly through the phone.

“It was very important for us to demonstrate the wide range of potential applications for our advanced light sensing technology through the creation of various prototypes, including the flexible and transparent bracelet, the health patch integrated on a mobile phone and the UV monitoring patch for sun exposure. They have shown to be versatile and efficient due to these unique features”, reports Dr. Emre Ozan Polat, very first author of this publication.

The bracelet was produced in such a method that it adjusts to the skin surface area and supplies constant measurement throughout activity (see Figure 1). The bracelet includes a flexible light sensing unit that can optically tape-record the modification in volume of capillary, due to the heart cycle, and then draw out various important indications such as heart rate, respiration rate and blood pulse oxygenation.

Second of all, the scientists report on the combination of a graphene health spot onto a cellphone screen, which quickly determines and shows important check in actual time when a user puts one finger on the screen (see Figure 2). A unique function of this model is that the gadget utilizes ambient light to run, promoting low-power-consumption in these incorporated wearables and therefore, enabling a constant tracking of health markers over extended periods of time.

ICFO’s sophisticated light picking up technology has actually carried out 2 kinds of nanomaterials: graphene, an extremely flexible and transparent product made from one-atom thick layer of carbon atoms, together with a light taking in layer made from quantum dots. The shown technology brings a new type aspect and style flexibility to the wearables’ field, making graphene-quantum-dots-based gadgets a strong platform for item designers. Dr. Antonios Oikonomou, organisation designer at ICFO stressed this by specifying that “The booming wearables industry is eagerly looking to increase fidelity and functionality of its offerings. Our graphene-based technology platform answers this challenge with a unique proposition: a scalable, low-power system capable of measuring multiple parameters while allowing the translation of new form factors into products.”

Dr. Stijn Goossens, co-supervisor of the research study, likewise remarks that “we have made a breakthrough by showing a flexible, wearable sensing system based on graphene light sensing components. Key was to pick the best of the rigid and flexible worlds. We used the unique benefits of flexible components for vital sign sensing and combined that with the high performance and miniaturization of conventional rigid electronic components.”

Lastly, the scientists have actually had the ability to show a broad wavelength detection variety with the technology, extending the performance of the models beyond the noticeable variety. By utilizing the exact same core technology, they have actually produced a flexible UV spot model (see Figure 3) efficient in wirelessly moving both power and information, and operating battery-free to pick up the ecological UV-index. The spot runs with a low power usage and has an extremely effective UV detection system that can be connected to clothes or skin, and utilized for keeping an eye on radiation consumption from the sun, signaling the user of any possible over-exposure.

“We are excited about the prospects for this technology, pointing to a scalable route for the integration of graphene-quantum-dots into fully flexible wearable circuits to enhance form, feel, durability, and performance”, says Prof. Frank Koppens, leader of the Quantum Nano-Optoelectronics group at ICFO. “Such results show that this flexible wearable platform is compatible with scalable fabrication processes, proving mass-production of low-cost devices is within reach in the near future.”

8.5 weeks post op

Check up today with Gooseman at 8.5 weeks post-op RFF phalloplasty. He was super impressed with how my arm is healing. Everything else is healing well for the most part, besides a few little things. The scar on the underside of my penis has been pretty tight, particularly towards the base. I’ve been aware of this for weeks and have been massaging it with vitamin e and using silicone gel on it, which he wants me to continue doing. He said that the scar around the actual base of my penis is tight as well, which I truly hadn’t given much thought to and assumed it was normal, but that’s because I only have my only experience to base it off, where as he has everyone elses to compare to. He said that the tightness is causing it all to ‘sit a bit high’, which I assume was in reference to my junk that still sits below my penis, including my existing penis. This means that when he pulls my penis up and towards my abdomen, it pulls a lot on my existing penis. This is uncomfortable, BUT it works in my favour when it comes to wanking - I can basically tug gently on my penis and it’s enough to achieve orgasm. At present I will usually alternate between this and stimulating my existing dick, but I do believe I could achieve orgasm by tugging only on my dick, but I’ve still been a bit too anxious to do this, purely due to not wanting to compromise any of the healing process/long-term aesthetic outcome.

My primary concern has been about narrowing at the base, which has consumed a lot of my time the last few weeks. It’s certainly not overly noticeable or significant, but when you’ve forked out as much as I have on a penis, you’ll nitpick the tiniest things. Goossen thinks that the tightening of the incision could be contributing to this, but did acknowledge that I am “less full” and “a bit flatter” at the base, but he’s not concerned about it. Classic. He said that once everything is sitting properly (with implants), as well as when erect, it won’t be an issue. He also mentioned something about the tightness at the base contributing to this? But I don’t remember the specifics. 

He appeared very impressed with where my sensation is at. I had convinced myself that I read somewhere that left donor would result in more sensitivity on the right side, and vice versa. Then I was told that the hook up is done on the left and that I would likely experience more sensation on the left. I asked him about this today (whether the hook up was down on the left) and he didn’t confirm/deny this and explained how they try to hook as many nerves up, etc. and basically that there’s no rule of thumb for where you will or won’t experience certain sensations. He said that typically people will experience one side with more erotic than the other and more tactile on another side. 

At present, I have extremely strong sensation on the right hand side, slightly less strong sensation down the left, about 1.5-2inches along the incision on the underside up from the base at a lesser intensity, and then fairly dull (by dull, I mean I need to apply significantly more pressure to feel the sensation and it’s not as intense) along the top of my penis until about half an inch of so from the tip, where I feel nothing. Along the right side, all I have to do is run my finger very lightly down the shaft to feel this. Along the left snd on the underside I have to apply slightly more pressure. On the top, I’ve experienced the sensation for a few weeks if I flick it, but within the last week I am starting to feel it more if I rub my finger rapidly on it with a little nit of pressure. This is all displaced sensation, which I feel in my existing penis. At present it’s not a pleasant, good, sexy time feeling, but will be once it settles. Currently it feels like someone is stabbing a pin into the head of my existing penis (which iis great if that’s your thing, but I find it unpleasant. However I always do it, as it’s nice being able to make that connection between my penis and my brain and feeling it as something that exists as a part of my body). At present, I have no tactile sensation. However due to the intensity of the sensation I do have, I am very aware if something hits my penis. 

At this stage, I’m booked for February 6th 2020 for stage 2. I had the option of November 21st, but with how close it is to Christmas and the closure period for Goossen and his staff, I chose to push it back. If I were to experience and issues with the hookup, I would go home with an SPC over Christmas until he returns. And as ridiculous as it might sound to some, I really wanna be able to swim over the summer. This also gives me some additional time to recover from stage 1 and for any issues with the scar tightness to settle as much as possible. As well as get back in shape after my stage 1 sedentary life and subsequent weight gain, and save a bit of extra money. As much as I want stage 2 as soon as possible, I think that this is the most sensible thing to do for numerous reasons. I figure that I’ve waited this long, I’m sure I can wait an extra 2 months. 

I’m back up to see him again at the end of September to check on everything again, and I presume I’ll head back up again early 2020 to check everything before we go ahead with stage 2. 

I am also allowed to run now, provided that everything is “packed firmly” and “well supported”.

I have a little ‘bobble’ sorta thing at the end of one of the incisions on my butt, which has been rather tender and painful. Goossen said it could be a stitch or scar tissue, and if it doesn’t resolve itself by the time I have stage 2, he will revise it. Butt is still tender when seated for long periods and/or bad seating. Still some tightness in the backs of my legs, but nothing that is too bothersome. 

My arm is hopefully on the homestretch. I’m still dressing it with MepitelOne, and will continue to do so until I’m fully healed and can switch to silicone sheets. The few little problem areas look like they have improved since Thursday when the dressings were last changed. Fingers crossed that when I go back to the hand therapist next week, I’ll either be healed enough to go dressing free, or very close to it. I try to touch it quite regularly over the top of the dressings (rubbing, patting, scratching, etc. to adjust to the sensation). 

As a bit of a related sidebar, I kinda wanted to touch on the arm and the scarring, etc. The significance of the arm graft was something that I had a really hard time swallowing when I first looked at RFF a good decade or so ago. Despite being a weird body part to like, my forearms are probably the only part of my body I do like, and the thought of altering one of them so drastically always terrified me. Because most of the information about RFF has typically been out of the states, I had no idea that the donor site would be replaced with a full thickness from the butt until my consult (why the states haven’t caught up yet is beyond me, truly). Despite already having made the decision to have RFF, this was a game changer for me. And honestly, if I didn’t have tattoos that were compromised when the flap was lifted that make it very obvious that my arm has undergone a major surgical procedure, I don’t think the end result would bother me much at all. It sits SO FLUSH that once my wrist swelling goes down, it will be totally seamless. I know that the conspicuous scarring is a huge deterrent for a lot of people, and I very much understand that, but I think it’s important that people understand that what you see online from guys in the states is NOT what your arm will look like if you have surgery with Goossen. I’m not here to shame or make comments about peoples choices to pursue ALT, abdominal, meta or any other alternative procedure, but I think it’s important that people aren’t scared off by misinformation. This is not to say that guys who have had RFF in the states have lesser or subpar results as due to the use of the split thickness.

TLDR; healing well, few super minor relatively non-issue things that will hopefully sort themselves out, arm looks great, sensation is great, Dr Goossen is the love of my life, shoutout to the under appreciated but equally amazing and skilled Dr Ingram, life with a (bigger) penis is wild and worth every cent, stage 2 booked for Feb 6th 2020, don’t take everything you see on the internet as bible. Gravy.

Hey, I'm planning on getting phallo with Dr Goossen, do you know if he does ALT or Abdo at all? and I wouldn't want UL, just probably scrotoplasty and glansplasty, then a device installed (eventually) can he do glansplasty during stage 1? or is that not really an option? (Thanks dudes!!)

He does both!

Regarding glansplasty- he doesn’t typically do this in s1, but might be more open to it given you aren’t wanting UL, but likely would encourage it to be done in s2 with scrotoplasty.
