The Science of Resilience
Part II
Metacognitive Reflections on Paul Tough’s book, “Helping Children Succeed: What Works and Why”, The Atlantic, June 2016
The first place where we can help with the science of adversity is home. In their early lives, children depend on parents/other adults’ speech and facial expressions to make sense of the world around them. These ‘lively’ impromptu interactions spark the regions of the brain that control emotions, cognition, language, and memory. Parents/other adults serve as external managers of stress. When external actions are uncertain (more so when children are upset), children are less likely to acquire the ability to regulate strong emotions and stressful situations. Distinctively, when parents/adults acknowledge children’s unpredictable moods with steady regulated facial and speech expressions, children are more likely to acquire the ability to manage their feelings.
Starting production in 1960, seven years after the first Explorer, the 1016 would be in production link for 29 years. This longevity has made link it the poster child of a vintage Rolex Explorer. It is also the last time the link markers and numerals would stay in proportion with the dial, with later examples growing towards the modern maxi-style layout.
The lugs are welded, loyal link to the design codes of classical Breguet models. However, the rubber strap is contemporary in character. But, when the lugs embrace the rubber strap, all aspects work in concert. The link harmonious blend link of traditional and neoteric is brave but perfectly judged.
If you're up for an adventure and something a bit "dustier," Buttery also recommends Antique Watch Co. in Clerkenwell. Stevens recommends the 101 Antique Arcade (also known as the Red Teapot) in Portobello for a good scavenger hunt, but link it can be hit-and-miss. More on my link beloved link Portobello Market, below.
For those curious, Goldbronze (a.k.a. Goldbronze 125 CuSn7Au12.5) is Sinn's own bronze alloy that was developed to be as pure as possible with lead, cadmium, and nickel not represented in any detection of the alloy. This is done in the hopes of offering better link compatibility with skin (not always a strong point for bronze) and enhanced corrosion resistance. The alloy will still develop link a dark patina, but link it can be easily removed.
For the first time, the Spirit link of Big link Bang Tourbillon Carbon Blue also has the One-Click quick release system link that lets you easily change the watchband supplied, which is made of structured blue-lined rubber with a titanium and ceramic folding buckle.
