Profound Creates Younger Skin. Profoundly.
Click play on the video to the watch.
One-Time Treatment for Saggy Jowls?
We've been telling you about the amazing results with Profound, now you can watch the recent story on The Doctors.
We are excited to be the first in Louisville to offer new technology that tightens skin of the face and (Yes!) the neck without surgery or prolonged recovery! (Actually, we are also using it to tighten skin of the inner and outer thighs, that loose skin above the knees, the arms and abdomen as well!) We still love our Sciton Laser Skin Tyte treatments for those who don't mind undergoing a treatment series, and who don't mind the need for maintenance treatments, but for those who can allow a week of downtime and don't desire laser skin surface healing (as with ProFractional, Fraxel or CO2RE lasers)...there is now Profound by Syneron-Candela.
Basically, the treatment involves numbing the skin of the treatment area, and then treating it with microneedles that safely and quickly deliver radiofrequency (heat energy) below the (chilled) skin's surface. Any area of the body may be treated, but face and neck may be the most popular. The procedure takes an hour from start to finish in our office... no pain, no anesthesia and no incisions. There is 3 to 5 days of mild bruising and swelling. Make-up may be applied immediately.
The direct result of delivering heat specifically deep to the skin's surface within the dermis, is that the heat causes collagen remodeling, which leads to tightening and smoothing without damaging the skin surface. For once, the neck may be treated the same as the face (which is not possible with laser or other skin tightening modalities, which require that "lighter" settings be used on the neck). Also, another unique feature of this type of radiofrequency delivery, is that there is no need to physically undermine the skin in order to deliver the heat energy, so there is no disruption to the normal connection between skin and deep soft tissues (we call these connections "retaining ligaments", and they help the skin resist the effects of gravity). This is important for what we call "skin redraping" with energy delivery. If a formal surgical lift is NOT being performed, how the heat energy is delivered becomes critical when trying to tighten skin significantly. Heat energy alone cannot overcome gravity's attempts to loosen skin, and once the retaining ligaments are divided, the skin is much more easily loosened by gravitational aging. Therefore, it is vitally important to try to maintain as many of the deep connections between skin and the deeper layers while delivering the heat that causes tightening in the collagen and elastin fibers of the dermis. Once these structures have been divided, it is best to perform a formal lift (ie, face or necklift). But with the advent of microneedles that can deliver the radiofrequency heat, it is now possible to get the heat to the appropriate sub-skin elastin and collagen fibers WITHOUT dividing the important connective tissue and retaining ligaments that support the skin against gravitational effects. VOILA!... tighter and smoother skin results with maximal benefits seen at 3 months after a single Profound treatment.
The Profound procedure benefits anyone who desires tighter skin without surgery...patients with acne scarring, patients who are seeing early facial and neck laxity but are not ready for a facelift (or not interested in having one), and patients who may have had a facelift or necklift but are not interested in having it surgically revised are electing to use this exciting new modality. In other words, Profound can be a great way to put off having a facelift or necklift, or to maintain one after it's been performed. And unlike laser skin tightening, it is a single step procedure, and one which is just as good for the neck as it is the face. We have also seen patients suffering with deep acne scars or wrinkles receive benefit from the Profound tightened skin, and Profound can also be combined with more traditional laser peels and tightening treatments for added benefits. Laser and Profound can be performed together as a single treatment or separately, and treatments may be customized to suit each patient's needs and budget.

The NSW Department of Planning is in hot water over koala corridors as massive development proposals in Western Sydney are rushed through. Locals and wildlife carers want escape routes for native fauna prioritised - including for humans!
Wollondilly Council recently lodged an appeal in the Land and Environment Court against the rezoning of the Wilton South East Precinct. Travelling by Big Koala Bus, Wollondilly Mayor, Cr Judith Hannan delivered 10,000 signatures to Parliament House on Thursday 9.8.18.
Cr Hannon explained that "Council has tried to engage with the Premier and the Minister for Planning," but as these attempts had proved futile, "Council had no alternative but to seek for the matter to be placed before the Courts."
The Council's actions follow information obtained under the Government Information (Public Access) Act which revealed that on 27 September 2017 the Office of Environment and Heritage recommended that land identified within a primary koala corridor around Allen's Creek should not be rezoned, advice which the NSW Department of Planning and Environment ignored.
Council sees this as a failure to comply with the appropriate procedure and grounds for a judicial review.
The developer of the Wilton New Town project, Walker Corporation has since fired back, saying rate payers have been misled. But the council has been considering pans for eco-tourism in the area, riding on the new airport planned for Western Sydney, which would rely on preserving the current wild, and chlamydia-free koala colony which ranges from Wollondilly to Campbelltown.
Koala deaths on Appin Road, where 30,000 new homes are planned for the Mt Gilead Estate, are already escalating as traffic increases.
Wollondilly Council believes that the rezoning of the Wilton South East Precinct will have similar consequences, and is premature given that the Interim Land Use and Infrastructure Implementation Plan adopted by the NSW Government clearly stated that rezoning would not occur until traffic, transport and infrastructure matters were resolved and the Land Use and Infrastructure Plan was finalised and subject to further community consultation.
“Council has been put in the position where we have no choice but to appeal what we see as an unreasonable and hasty decision,” said Cr Hannon, "and to restore a proper planning process."
In May NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian unveiled the Government's long-awaited koala strategy with plans to convert state forest north of Sydney into a koala sanctuary and an additional tourism centre and koala hospital in Port Stephens as the centrepiece.
Campbelltown wildlife carer, Mr Ricardo Lonzer says the Macarthur region covering Campbelltown, Picton and Appin where the bush butts up against new urban areas was ignored by the strategy. And yet this is exactly where the current colony has been flourishing for over 30 years, carefully watched over by local wildlife volunteers.
In places where wildlife tunnels/bridges have been built, particularly in Queensland, the wily marsupials have surprised experts by how quickly they have taken to using them.
A recent study recommended at least three wide bush corridors linking the Georges and Nepean rivers, and the urgent provision of three koala overpasses across Appin Road. The government’s response to this urgent plea? No crossings, but plenty more cars for busy Appin Road as more housing estates are crammed into the hitherto scenic area.
Resistance however is just as deeply embedded in the area as the koala colony.
A big koala rally at Oswald Reserve, Rosemeadow earlier this year attracted over 400 people, including local identities such as Uncle Ivan Wellington, Ricardo Lonza, Nea Makowski, Pat Durman, Matt Deeth, Greg Warren and Ben Moroney. Other campaigners ranged from opponents to the M9 Orbital, to Sue Gay who is spearheading the fight to save Mount Gilead. Wollondilly Council sent a large contingent.
Dr Robert Close and Julie Sheppard, two of the great heroes of the original fight in the late 1980s to save the Wedderburn koalas were also present. Sad to think that local people are fighting the same battle all over again in 2018.

GAZ-M20 POBEDA, 1953 issu, the engine from the GAZ M21 2.4 volume of 75 l/, transmission the gas 24, the mileage after restoration of more than 1500 km.
The novelty was in the scheme of the machine and the device main unit of the body. In the space between the springs of the independent suspension of the wheels mounted engine, the radiator is moved forward. After the engine has shifted in the seat back almost completely outside of the wheel casings and expanded. Became wider and the whole body, the wheels went deep into his body, removed the protruding wings. All the mechanisms are mounted not to the frame and to the carrier body. The mass was equally distributed to all wheels.
Similar to those made on some pre-war cars, for example — "Chrysler-Airflow". There have been attempts to build a "wingless" car, just for piece or small-scale models. The novelty of the layout are combined in design of "Victory" with the reliability of the traditional Soviet cars, and this is achieved without weighting the car. "Victory" — a comfortable car, with soft suspension, wheels, ventilation and heating, with excellent maneuverability, powerful brakes.

One of my favorite things about running with my girls is the conversations we have.
"Did you see that lady's bum? It was going boing, boing, boing!"
Today was our first run with my girls on their bikes while I ran WITHOUT Scott there to help move them along and to stop with them so I can run without stopping. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they did. We only stopped once so Ellie could scratch her head and one other time for a drink/potty stop.
"THAT'S what I want. But a little bigger. And FULL of horses."
"I really don't like running."
I will let you know when my heart is no longer in 10 million little pieces.
Grace: Is running sometimes miserable for you?
Grace: So it's miserable and magical. I just wondered because that's what Taylor Swift just said. And that is what running is to you sometimes. Miserable and magical.
Indeed running can be miserable and magical at the same time.
Was your last run miserable, magical, or both?

KTLA Los Angeles icon Stan Chambers is retiring after a stunning 63 years at the station, reports the LA Times. He’s 87.
The seemingly tireless 87-year-old Chambers, who covered numerous floods, fires, earthquakes and other catastrophes, will tell his beloved colleagues, friends and viewers that he is leaving the only TV station he’s ever worked at, closing a chapter on a resume that began in 1947 and logged more than 22,000 stories.
Indeed, Chambers’ time at KTLA dates back to the ’40s.
A huge picture of a young Chambers - wearing a hard hat, getting ready to report on a raging oil refinery fire in Long Beach in 1949 - dominates the lobby of KTLA. It was one of the station’s first live shots. “That guy in the picture is all nervous, waiting for his cue to go live,” Chambers said, laughing.
The importance of having that sort of long-term presence in a market can’t be understated. My new “Market Eye” profile is on Seattle-Tacoma, where a big part of leader KING’s success is Jean Enersen’s 42 years on the air at the Belo station, says GM Ray Heacox.
Next week’s Market Eye focuses on the Tri-Cities of TN-VA, where on-air tenure seems to be particularly huge. WCYB’s morning guy, Johnny Wood, has been on the station for 40 years.
Long tenures on the other side of the camera–increasingly rare in the shrinking local TV economy–don’t get the acclaim that those who appear on air do. At WJHL in the Tri-Cities, Ed Jones has rung up 42 years in an engineering capacity at the station.
The station itself has only had two GMs in its 57 years. “I don’t think you’ll find that in too many places,” says the current one, Jack Dempsey.

The majority of clubs in the Premier League are planning to introduce a proposed £30 cap on tickets for away fans next season even if the top flight fails to make it mandatory.
Another vote is expected at the next summit of Premier League clubs in March after at least seven teams — Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea and West Ham — opposed the cap this week.
The mood of the other clubs is to carry on regardless by having £30 reciprocal agreements with all like-minded clubs.
Such a breakaway initiative, discussed at the Premier League clubs meeting this week, would help to further expose the greedy seven or eight who don't want to drop prices — even with £8.1billion of TV cash coming in.
Bahrain's Sheik Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa is once again out in front in his race for the FIFA presidency against UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino after receiving the unanimous endorsement of the Confederation of African Football's executive committee in Kigali, Rwanda yesterday.
If the Sheikh follows this up with significant backing from the Caribbean Football Union next week then the game looks over for Infantino, who had been making rapid gains. Meanwhile, CAF going with Sheik Salman should lead to one of the three other makeweight FIFA challengers, South Africa's Tokyo Sexwale throwing in the towel.
Fan power has led to the FA increasing the allocation of tickets for Cup finalists from 25,000 to 28,732, a combined addition of about 7,000 for supporters of two teams.
This follows the Football Supporters' Federation, backed up by fans groups and led by the Arsenal Supporters' Trust, writing to FA chairman Greg Dyke to complain that the distribution policy was not fair.
The AST also even questioned whether the existing arrangements breached protocols set out in the 2010 Bribery Act and queried the transparency and accountability of how the 'football family' are awarded tickets.
Negative publicity from Arsenal fans also led to their club backing down from surcharging season ticket holders between £7 and £30 because of the category of teams they have faced in the seven cup ties which are included in the price.
Chelsea's latest sponsorship deal is with Beats by Dr Dre headphones as their official sound partner. It is disrespectful to the media if players go through the interview mixed zone after matches with their headphones on — and at least a Chelsea spokesman went as far as saying the players 'wouldn't be asked' to have their sponsored Beats on in the media zone.
Less than 24 hours after Sports Agenda predicted casualties in the battle between the London 2017 organisers of the world athletics championship and UK Athletics, two members of the London 2017 board resigned.
It is understood Heather Hancock, chairman of the Food Standards Agency and Martin Stewart, the new FA chief financial officer, were left isolated after a failed attempt to remove the UKA representatives Ed Warner and Niels de Vos as directors. Their departure leaves London 2017 managing director Sally Bolton having to accept she still reports to De Vos or quitting. However, to avoid alleged conflict of interests, another joint-chairman of London 2017 is going to be appointed to share the role with Warner.
England rugby head coach Eddie Jones presents a relaxed image and doesn’t mind players having columns in newspapers. But all those columns are vetted by the RFU before publication and Jones even gets involved with who is put up for interview.

The Baltic States comprise Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. All were part of the Soviet Union before 1991 and still have significant Russian-speaking populations. In Latvia and Estonia, more than ¼ of the population is ethnically Russian. In Lithuania, it is closer to 6% of the population, but Lithuania also shares a border with Kaliningrad, a region that still belongs to Russia. Russia, therefore, still has strong strategic interest in Lithuania. All three countries are now part of NATO and the European Union.
While the three countries have much in common, they differ in language (Latvian and Lithuanian are Baltic languages, Estonian is closer to Finnish).
The evangelical church is quite small in all three countries. In Lithuania, the Catholic Church is still very strong. In Estonia and Latvia the traditional Lutheran Church is the largest protestant denomination. In the Russian-speaking communities, the Orthodox Church is predominant. MIWC works with both the Russian-speaking churches and also the national-language churches in all countries. In addition, the churches in each of the Baltic States frequently provide mutual support for their churches in neighboring countries by partnering together for ministry events, educational seminars, conferences, and mutual encouragement.
Evangelical Christians in all three countries still have close ties to Christians in Ukraine, Russia, and other Slavic countries because of the fact that the church was part of a single denominational group during the Soviet Union years. There is still strong communication between Christian leaders in the former Soviet countries, with the various Baptist Union or Evangelical Church presidents visiting neighboring churches, attending seminars and conferences, and providing other types of support.
MIWC's involvement in the Baltic region is a direct outgrowth of our work in Ukraine.

It’s been a long time since I’ve done a staycation in Singapore, so I was pretty stoked to be invited as one of the first few guests to check out YOTEL Singapore along Orchard Road, just 2 weeks after its opening in October 2017. The YOTEL brand has hotels in busy cities like Boston and New York City and has airport hotels including London and Amsterdam, but the Singapore branch is their first foray into Asia.
YOTEL brands itself as affordable luxury and catered to the modern urban traveller. I spent a weekend at the YOTEL Singapore for myself 2 weeks after it opened to the public, and here’s my review on what I liked about my stay and whether it’s right for you.
YOTEL Singapore’s biggest plus point is its great location right along Orchard Road. Specifically, it’s located in International Building, a rather nondescript building that’s next to the Thai embassy and overshadowed by the neighbouring Shaw Centre.
The view from my room. Which part of my room? Scroll on down.
Google Maps currently will point you to an area that’s closer to Shaw Centre than YOTEL Singapore itself, which is a bit confusing if you are trying to arrange an Uber dropoff, but staff tell me they are working to amend this for future guests.
YOTEL is a convenient 5 minute walk away from Orchard Road MRT station, and you are right at the start of the shopping stretch so it’s always going to be quite busy and colourful here. You have just about everything you need right here – mainstream shopping malls galore down Orchard Road, nightlife is within walking distance, either towards the Orchard Towers/Hard Rock Cafe end of Orchard Road, or my preferred choice of Emerald Hill near Somerset MRT.
It seems to be the trend that instead of waiting to be served, you have the option of just getting it done on your own – great if you’re like me and happy to , less so if you’re old-school and like a personal service touch.
Unlike your standard hotel where you roll up to the reception, hand your passport and credit card to the staff and wait to get checked in, YOTEL encourages you to be a bit more self sufficient by directing you to its computerised self-check in counters stalls where you get to scan your ID details and credit card, and even create your own room key or two, which is a bit of a novelty.
You’re not left entirely on your own to flounder if you are not tech-savvy though – staff loiter nearby ready to give you a hand, and if you are having problems, a light above the booth lights up and someone from reception will come over to help you out.
Check out also follows a similar process, but if you have a bill to pay, you’ll need to head over to the manned reception counter to get that settled.
YOTEL’s reception is on level 2, the amenities are on level 10, and the rooms are located on the higher floors. I was in Room 2322 in a Premium Queen View cabin.
YOTEL likes to call its room ‘cabins’, but while that makes me think of log cabins and woody surfaces, there is none of that in this very modern looking room. It’s a lot of white and purple, the YOTEL brand colours, and the standard room is quite snug, but they’ve done a pretty good job of maximising space in a small area.
The key feature is the bed, and this one can be adjusted to shift into a semi-couch like position with one half of the bed raised, so if you are someone like me who likes to sit on the bed and work, this is pretty perfect as you have some back support. There is a hidden fold out table right underneath the TV, but I would have liked a laptop table that you can use while sitting on the bed. The reclining function is also a space saver that allows more room between the wall and the foot of the bed. One does wonder whether the constant movement of the bed’s motors will last though.
The other thing of note in the cabin is how they’ve dealt with the toilet and the unusual placement of the toilet. The shower and toilet bowl are placed right next to the full length windows, with a frosted glass partition and door separating the toilet from the rest of the room.
This means that every time you want to use the toilet, you have to pull down the blinds – there’s an option of full black-out blinds or a slightly more translucent one that lets in a bit of light. I’m a little bit torn about this, because I’m a person who likes natural light and a good view. While the frosted glass means that the light isn’t blocked out, it is a bit awkward to be admiring the view through the toilet door.
The glass partition may feel a bit thin for those with shy bladders though – I had a friend drop by who opted to skip using the toilet as I was ‘just on the other side of the glass’ – I didn’t have a problem with it.
Also, the sink is actually outside the toilet and in the room. Again, I don’t have a problem with the placement because it means 2 people can be more efficient in the morning, but some people might feel a bit awkward about brushing their teeth and having a splash zone right next to the bed.
The YOTEL Singapore room is one I’d be quite happy to come back to at the end of a long day out because it’s comfortable enough and everything you need is in the room. But the snug size of the standard room and the layout wouldn’t encourage me to want to spend an entire day in here just lounging – I’d prefer a much larger room with a proper panoramic view and additional lounging chairs for that.
But then again, if you are like the people who were going at it for at least an hour before lunch time – I could hear the rhythmic thumping of the bed non-stop either in the room above or next to me as I was trying to catch a nap before check out – maybe size doesn’t really matter.
Hidden panel cupboards – hidden in the walls of the room near the door, you can find an ironing board, umbrella, foldable director’s chair, more clothes hooks and even an extra outlet plug along with the fold-out table.
The in-house restaurant Grains and Hops is located on level 10, and also where you enjoy the small but decent breakfast buffet in the morning. Lunch and dinner sees the restaurant serve up its signature 1-dish rice bowls with skewers, inspired by the whole poke bowl millennial trend.
I visited twice to try 2 signature dishes – the roasted kurabuto pork collar and the grilled Angus beef, which were skewers served with a choice of healthy colourful rice and salad. Both were great, but I liked the beef better as it was really tender. Also awesome was the peanut butter milkshake (the chocolate one is alcoholic!) and the super decadent rice krispy dessert which was a whole lot bigger than I expected.
It’s sticky and sweet and surprisingly filling. So good!
They had a happy hour drinks promotion where you would get a % discount based on the number rolled on a large dice – I rolled myself 50% off my milkshake and 20% off my craft beer. Very good service overall, though I think some of the staff are pretty new and still settling in when I was there.
There is a nice longish pool where you can take a dip on the 10th floor running alongside the restaurant. It’s great for a dip on a hot sweaty day – I’d spent most of my afternoon working up a sweat hunting down street art around Chinatown, but I had a bit of a cloudy windy late afternoon and it got cold after awhile, so I managed a quick dip and spent the rest of the time lounging around and reading by the pool.
Also on Level 10, some nice co-working facilities and cosy nooks where all the location-independent / digital-nomad sorts can get some work done away from the enticing bed in the room, or maybe even hold a cosy meeting or two if you need.
I compared the rates of a Fri-Sun long weekend stay. Standard rates of the Premium Queen View room that sleeps 2-pax go at S$244/night, and opening prices are a very nice S$160 so now’s a great time to book a stay.
The Premium Queen room has a slightly slower standard rate at S$229/night for 2-pax, but the most value per pax would be the Premium Queen with 1-bunk that sleeps 3-pax with an additional loft bed, and costs S$254/night or S$85/pax/night.
Singapore’s accommodation options tend to be more pricey than other Asian countries, but relatively speaking especially for its location, this is quite a decent price to pay for those who aren’t into cheaper hostel dormitories yet can’t afford the premium hotel prices. YOTEL Singapore is probably the cheapest hotel option in a prime location on Orchard Road where you’re surrounded by high-end chains like Four Seasons, Marriott, Hyatt and Hilton where rooms go for at least $250/night and up.
I liked my stay at YOTEL Singapore and I appreciate how it caters to a more modern self-sufficient type of crowd who value efficiency over personal service, and where location is of utmost priority for a hotel room over abundant space – things that speak to me as a traveller. For that location on Orchard Road, it’s a more affordable option for solo travellers, but especially if you have a group of 2 or 3.
This is the first YOTEL branch in Singapore and Asia – 2018 sees Yotel opening its 2nd Singapore branch at the fancy new Jewel Changi Airport, which will probably be something quite special. Maybe we will finally get to see the famous YOBOT, a luggage storing robot that can be found in other YOTELs.
Drop a note in the comments if you have something to say about your own stay at YOTEL Singapore, or if you are planning to stay there, I’ll try and help you out as best as I can.
This 2-night stay and one of my meals was sponsored by YOTEL Singapore. This review and opinions here are my own.

Happy travelling and thanks for reading!
Thank you for the interesting review – it sealed the deal for me to book a stay at the Sg Yotel when I visit Singapore next week. I was looking for an hotel in the Orchard/Scotts Road area but the prices were scary!
I’m going to Singapore for the 4th time in April next year and will definitely consider Yotel now!
Glad you found it useful Bethan :) And enjoy your trip here!

Ice cream is powerful stuff. It brings people together, it cools overheated bodies and anyone with a cranky three-year-old can attest to the powerful mood altering effects of even a single scoop. Basically, Ice cream is one of the best parts of summer and Whistler has no shortage of ice cream parlours to satisfy almost any craving.
Traditional ice cream is made with cream while gelato is made with milk, which makes it a bit healthier i guess but worrying about calories in an ice cream shop is kind of missing the point. Sorbet is dairy free, generally made with sweetened water or puréed fruit, and frozen yogurt is just that, frozen yogurt. With so many options available there’s only one thing to do this summer— try ’em all.
Here’s a list of Whistler’s best ice cream joints.
Whistler’s oldest ice cream spot is also the closest one to the bike park. The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory offers more than 30 flavours of ice cream, sorbet and frozen yogurt. It’s all made just down the road in Vancouver and the waffle cones are dipped in chocolate and/or candy sprinkles on-site.
Staff Favourite — Steph, a born-and-raised Whistler local, recommends a mix of Coconut ice cream and Lemon sorbet. It’s fantastic.
Centrally located in the main Village and featuring 15-20 flavours at any given time, Bocca Gelato makes their gelato and cones in-house from as many locally sourced ingredients as possible. This place is the Ferrari of gelaterias (Open summer only).
Staff Favourite — Lee, a longtime loc who truly appreciates the finer aspects of Whistler life, says the Peanut Butter Chocolate is always a good bet.
Much more than just an ice cream shop Cows originated on the other side of the country on Prince Edward Island. Using and old family recipe and a penchant for puns, Cows has now successfully branched out across the country. They have 32 varieties out at all times and this really is the place to try new things like Birthday Cake flavour or Moo-Henry. Cows uses a premium butterfat cream for their ice cream and mixes it slowly, making for richer, thicker, more flavourful scoops. Waffle cones are made in-house and chocolate dipped if you like it that way. On hot summer days Cows will serve up over 2000 scoops of cool creamy goodness.
Staff Favourite — Emma recommends Maui-Cowie, a toffee/chocolate chip/vanilla mixture reminiscent of a Skor candy bar.
Rogers’ doesn’t sell ice cream by the scoop but their ice cream bars are decadently awesome. Made at the infamous Rogers’ headquarters in Victoria BC there are five bar flavours to choose from, each with a creamy vanilla centre.
And you can taste the difference. While it’s available in many of Whistler’s restaurants and all the grocery stores the best place to try Lucia from the source at their stands on either side of the Peak to Peak gondola at the Whistler Farmer’s Markets that happen Wednesday and Sunday afternoons throughout the summer at the base of Blackcomb.
Marketplace, or Village North, is actually a bit of an ice cream wasteland but if you’re stuck there is a Dairy Queen by the playground or McDonald’s also has those dipped soft serve cones. 7-Eleven sells ice cream bars but really their summer specialty is the Slurpee.
While most of Whistler’s ice cream spots seem to be centered around the Village, there is a roving ice cream truck selling pre-made treats at our various beaches, lakes and parks. Unfortunately, ice cream lovers in Whistler Creekside are without any places to obtain a fresh scoop but the Husky gas station has a stocked freezer and a great selection of Slushies.
Connoisseurs of frozen delights can find some really high-end treats in some of Whistler’s fine-dining establishments. The handmade Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bar at Araxi is garnished with flakes of real gold (and deservedly so, it’s amazing) while the crew at The Bearfoot Bistro will whip up fresh ice cream right at your table (using liquid nitrogen!!) The Four Seasons has teamed up with Lucia Gelato to offer liquor-infused gelato sundaes (on special on Sundays) and if you want to get really serious, see if the Rim Rock Cafe chefs will throw together an Alaskan Bake, which is like some kind of crazy ice cream meringue pie that looks and sounds almost too delicious to be true.
For all the varieties of ice cream available, Whistler (thankfully) offers even more ways to burn off all those creamy, sweet calories. So get outside, have fun in the sun, and treat someone you love to a scoop or two.

The fact of the matter is that choosing the right landscape designer or company is not an easy task, especially when there are so many landscaping companies in Dubai to choose from. Things will become even more difficult for you when you will find out that there will be countless of them making false claims through massive advertisement campaigns and online marketing strategies to prove to you that they are the best option that you can opt for the landscaping project of your home.
In such a situation, making the right decision when hiring a landscape contractor can prove to be a daunting task for anyone. Once, you will start contacting landscaping companies to discuss your project, you will find out that each one out of them will present themselves in a way which will show that they are the only choice that you should consider for your project. Initially you will find them all offering you the best solutions for your landscaping project, But as you will start researching on the companies that claim to be the best, you will figure out that most of them are not as good and professional to offer landscaping services to their clients as they claim. For this reason, it is highly recommended for you to make sure that you put some efforts and time to make sure that you only hire the right landscaping company for your project. Doing so will not only ensure that you will be able to pick the best landscaping company for your project but you will also be able to save your time and money that you will have to spend on improving that landscape of your house otherwise.
One of the first things that you should do when searching for the right landscaping company is to make sure that you only consider companies about whom you are sure that they have a valid license and permit to offer landscaping services in the market. Also consider whether the quotes that you have received from different landscaping companies are the estimated costs or their final quotes for your project. This is important because if the company that you have selected as they have offered you lowest estimated quote for your project, there is a very good chance that you will have to pay much more money to them than the highest fixed quote that you have received. If you are also going to install a swimming pool at your home, then make sure that the company that you are going to hire has a very good reputation in the market for being one of the best swimming pool contractors in Abu Dhabi.

There are a number of problems that every pregnant woman will worry about reading the changes her body will undergo while waiting for the new arrival. The two most common fears are certainly the weight gain that comes from being pregnant, and the unsightly stretchmarks which will appear on buttocks, tummy and breasts.
If you have always loved the great outdoors and enjoy swimming, then you are going to be horrified at the formation of all those blue purplish lines which look like railway tracks. Unfortunately there is not a lot you can really do about them appearing during pregnancy, but there are ways to prevent them becoming permanent and noticeable after you have given birth to your baby, and with the right treatment and products they can even almost fade away completely..
Vitamin E is extracted from a variety of different plants with a few examples being nuts such as almonds, and fruits like kiwi fruits, and mangos. Numerous clinical studies have proven that vitamin E is powerful in the fight for the reduction of scarring and stretch marks from pregnancy, because of its assistance in skin regeneration, and to aid in elasticity.
It penetrates your skin deep below the epidermis, where it will stimulate new skin cell growth that will replace the scar tissue found beneath stretchmarks. With Regular treatments of Vitamin E your stretchmarks will eventually become thinner and almost fade altogether. Using Vitamin E during your term of pregnancy will aid the skins elasticity which will also speed up the healing process. Revitol is a superb product with this ingredient in it.
It is already well known in skin care research circles the excellent benefits Aloe Vera have in healing properties for wounds and for your skin. Using Aloe Vera effectively treats small wounds and results in healing your wounds quickly without any scars being evident afterwards. As your abdomen expands during your pregnancy stretch marks will start out as fine tears in your skin layers due to overstretching of the dermis. By using Aloe Vera, you can help heal these fine tears quickly, and at the same time avoid scarring from stretch marks afterwards. Using Revitol skin care products that contain aloe Vera is a sensible choice. This aloe Vera extract is derived from the aloe leaf and is great for skin protection and healing.
DL-Penthenol is the scientific name given to the pro-vitamin B5. It has been proven to have exceptional properties in healing damaged skin and wounds because it works to improve the structure of both the lower and upper skin layers. This excellent extract known as DL-Panthenol soothes your skin while at the same time stimulating cell growth and differentiation. This ingredient in Revitol also helps in the in the regeneration of your skin, and will help in the reduction of the appearance of existing stretch marks, by replacing the scar tissue with newly generated skin cells. In addition to this fact, it is good to use while you are pregnant and your tummy is expanding, because it also acts to prevent stretch marks becoming permanent by promoting collagen and elastin production, which allows your skin to stretch without rupturing and causing stretch marks.
Vitamin D3 is another ingredient in Revitol that is vital for new skin cell production and it works hand in hand with vitamins A and E in the regeneration process of your skin. In normal circumstances vitamin D3 is produced in the upper skin layers by your body when you are exposed to sunlight. Unfortunately many people lack enough of this vitamin D3 with our modern fast paced live styles where we are working in offices and live in closed apartment buildings, so getting skin care products with added vitamin D3 is useful. When applied onto your skin in high concentrations, vitamin D3 shows benefits on cellular skin processes. This Vitamin will increase the cellular activity around stretch marks and as a result will rejuvenate your skin cells to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
When it comes to stretch marks forming on your skin during pregnancy and weight gain, prevention is better than cure and using Revitol the superior quality skin care products on the market is a sensible choice.

Your baby has learnt quite a lot about what you like and don't like her to do...and she can use this to tease you.
Watch her. Does she sometimes head straight for a rubbish basket, looking round to see if you notice her? Does she drop things from the pram or the high chair, and then wait and maybe shout to get you pick them up again?
She's not being naughty – she’s playing and exploring the world and seeing what happens. If you want to stop her doing it, make sure it doesn’t turn into a game. Otherwise she'll do it over and over, just for the fun of it, and to get your attention! Next time you take her away, do it calmly and quietly, and distract her with something else just as interesting.

AMX Mod X 1.8.0 Released!
10-25-2007 , 23:32 AMX Mod X 1.8.0 Released!
I am proud to announce that AMX Mod X 1.8.0 is now released! This is a huge update, adding many features and fixing plenty of bugs.
For starters, admin and map limits are now completely dynamic. Command access flags can be changed without modifying plugin code. Plugin writers can now use dynamic arrays, and have a very powerful new "Ham Sandwich" module for hooking tons of private entity functions.
Plugins, as always, remain fully backwards compatible (except in one rare case for War3FT 3.0 Beta, noted in the changelog overview).
AMX Mod X 1.8.0 has been thoroughly beta tested, and has been running on over 250 servers, without complaint, for weeks. However, if you do discover a bug, please file one here rather than posting in the forums.
The web compiler will be updated in one to two weeks, followed by an announcement to notify everyone.
I would like to thank sawce, demigod and author of most additions to AMX Mod X 1.8, as well as recent promotions to the moderation/approval team: Roach, Hawk552, and Zenith77.

Tuesday was the deadline to sign up as a candidate for any of the five municipal elections March 1 in Lincoln County.
In Ruidoso, all three incumbents submitted their names for another four-year term in the nonpartisan, at-large election, and two challengers also submitted their papers. Village Clerk Irma Devine emphasized that no candidates will be certified to run until Thursday after all the paperwork has been checked.
Incumbents Joe Gomez, Lynn Crawford and Joe Eby put their signatures on the line for another term. Former mayor and councilor L. Ray Nunley also signed up as did Tim Morris, who previously was manager of the municipal airport. Incumbent Municipal Judge Beverly Rankin submitted her name for another four-year term in the village.
Coincidental, Tuesday also is the last day for residents to register to vote in the Ruidoso School District's election. Absentee voting in that election begins Jan. 8, in person at the county clerk's office or by mail, and ends Jan. 28. School board election day is Feb. 2.
Voters are being asked to approve an $18 million bond issue. Most of the money will be spent to close the school district's Nob Hill kindergarten building and replace it with new classrooms to be constructed at Sierra Vista Primary School.
In the Ruidoso municipal election, voters will be asked to authorize up to $3 million of general obligation bonds to be repaid from property taxes for the purpose of enlarging, improving or extending the production and distribution components of the village's water system. It would be the second in a rolling series of $3 million packages toward ensuring a future water supply in the village.
Absentee voting will begin Jan. 26 and end at 5 p.m., Feb. 26. Early voting will begin Feb. 10 and end at 5 p.m., Feb. 26, at the village clerk's office. Those times and dates also apply to the other four municipalities in the county and their village clerks. Election day polling in Ruidoso is conducted at the convention center for all village precincts.
Voters in Ruidoso Downs will elect a mayor, municipal judge, two city councilors for four-year terms and one for a two-year term.
Voters in Carrizozo will elect two council members for four-year terms and one for a two-year term.
In Corona, Sherrill Perkins Bradford and Monica Zook are at the end of their four-year terms. Bill Weckwerth is at the end of a two-year term, because he was appointed and must run in the election after his appointment.
Voters in Capitan will elect two trustees for seats now held by Jean Coulton and Lilly M. Bradley.

This week I spent some fitting time with my local Titleist folks. Swung both the TS 2 and TS 3. I saw very little difference in stats with the 2 heads. The new standard length for Titleist seems to be 45 1/4 or 45 1/2. I use a 43 1/2 so I had to choke down a couple of inches. Ultimately selected the TS 3, HZRDUS Smoke, 60 grams, 9.5 deg., low to mid launch, low spin, and of course 43 1/2 inches, with a mid size Golf Pride grip. Since my results were so close, I selected the 3 because it just looks better to my eye. Both are 460 cc's but the 3 looks a bit more compact.
There is always excitement for me in acquiring a new driver, (Titleist only gives us the opportunity every 2 years) but in this case, I was very much impressed with how the club flowed in my swing, like it was made for me alone. I will be at the edge of my seat until I can actually get on the course with this baby.
The tensei 55 av blue stiff is 58, 4.9 torque with a mid launch according to the Titleist custom option club catalog.

This smell, it isn't really too pleasant and why it is clumpy?
I am sure everyone knows, that the taste of White Flood was not the best. But thank God, it eventually started to grow on you and actually tasted good and it was something I looked forward too.
If I could offer a suggestion to people is when mixing your White Flood is use more than 32 oz of water, and make sure it is cold. Though this may not need apply now since White Flood has been somewhat reformulated, the exact details, I am not too sure.
One can not describe the energy when you take White Flood. One walks into the gym ready to thrash his body into oblivion. The energy stays with you through the entire length of your workout and it doesn't taper off either.
This was a bit difficult to judge. Since some of my workout regime consisted of the big three exercises. This didn't allow for an AMAZING pump as compare d to doing ~10 sets per body part. But let me tell you, when I did ~10 sets per body part. The pumps were amazing, and as well as the vascularity. Even in my "bulked" state, I still had veins!
And even after doing deadlifts, and squats in a workout I still felt energized!
1) The appetite suppressing, perhaps due to vanadyl sulfate. But this could easily be remedied (at least for me) is ensuring you have at least an hour between your pre-workout meal and White Flood. And take 1/2 serving of White Flood literally right before your workout. And sip the other half during the workout.
2) My limbs fell asleep alot easier. It's really weird. Didn't bother me at all. But something worth nothing.
It sounds like Controlled Labs has done something about the problem of the clumpyness and the taste of White Flood. So some of these comments might be a bit outdated.

In the booming world of e-commerce delivery, the last mile is often the costliest and error-prone part of the journey. While new delivery solutions seem to crop up every day of the week, from Amazon lockers to drones, there is no surefire approach to a perfect delivery plan. Last-mile properties have become the next best thing, allowing companies to confidently offer same-day and one-day delivery, which in 2018 has become the difference between making the sale and not for ecommerce and retailers. Research also shows that customers are also willing to pay more for overnight and same-day shipping. One option to provide a more convenient experience and increase revenue is to identify a facility close to your customers to make possible short delivery windows.
In 2018, same-day delivery is king. 25 percent of consumers are willing to pay premiums for same-day delivery. The percentage of e-commerce sales to the total U.S. retail sales more than doubled between 2010 and 2017. Consumers spent $453 billion on online purchases in 2017 up from $391 billion in 2016, a 16 percent increase. All this points to the need for ecommerce to secure a logistics facility in a location close to your customers: the all-important "last mile" of the supply chain.
Rising wealth and rezoning in New York City in the past decade has led to more than 11 million square feet of industrial space being converted to other types of real estate. Reduced industrial space has made last-mile properties even harder to come by. While big-box chains in suburban locations have been doubling as distribution centers, this is more challenging in urban environments that lack large footprints. In regions where real estate is tight, there is nowhere to go but up. Newly constructed last-mile facilities of the future will include multiple stories of logistics space to maximize their footprint.
Current supply chain networks in the United States are weak and will have to improve to keep up with the growth of e-commerce. Real estate of yesterday – malls, shopping centers, grocery stores and other retail ╨will increasingly integrate a logistics and online pickup/returns portion. Last mile properties, when used properly, can save retailers money by fulfilling their delivery commitment and keeping the customer happy. Efficiency in the supply chain is linked to higher profits.
Most last-mile properties are more than thirty years old. In New York City, most are more than 50 years old, built in another era for industrial use with structural, electrical and usage limitations that inhibit efficiency. Finding a last-mile property to support one's modern day supply chain is not easy, but there is a new generation of last-mile properties built ground up. The user should make sure it has sufficient space required for a productive e-commerce operation. The user should also identify a property in a centralized location to its customers with easy access to highways; as well as trucking access and employee parking onsite. These are key considerations before committing to a logistics property.
If you promise same day, you have to deliver – literally. Customer perception is strongly influenced by whether the company can deliver their groceries, home goods, books, consumer electronics or apparel for an event tonight. The last mile and has the power to make the experience better or worse. Whether it's in-store pickup, providing a delivery window or even the locker model ╤customers love options and last mile properties are the key to offering options. Last-mile properties can also support ease of customer returns, by greatly reducing return shipping costs. This all adds up to a better customer experience and a win for the brand that chooses a last-mile property to optimize its supply chain.

And this is the recipe for inheritance.
That’s the standard. But why this? Why this… mess? And why does it work?
This is a big topic and we’re going to cover a lot of ground. Be sure to take advantage of the pause and rewind buttons in your video player. You can use the timestamps here to jump to sections of interest.
So, what is an object? Well, it is a set of name/value pairs. In other languages, you might call it a dictionary, or a hash, or maybe an associative array, but fundamentally, it’s key/value pairs. You can use any number of keys with any name, as long as it’s a string, and each string can be associated with any value. Those values can be of any type: any of our basic primitive types, as well as any object type, including functions, and of course, objects themselves.
An important thing to note about objects is that, although primitives are passed by value, objects are passed by reference. Let’s see what that means.
So if we have two variables, named number1 and number2, and we assign a value to number1—let’s say 3.14 etcetera—and then we copy that variable into number2, those two values are not connected. So if we change number2, number1 is unaffected.
Objects, on the other hand, are stored by reference. What that means is that if you assign an object to one of these variables and then we copy that object into a new variable, we’re not copying the object. There’s still only one object. What we’re doing is copying the reference. The pointer. The arrow. So if we change object2, object1 gets changed as well. object2.a is 42, but also, object1.a is 42.
One last thing before we’re done with the basics.
If you ask for a property that isn’t found in an object, you’ll get undefined as your result back. Now, you can assign undefined to any property you want. That doesn’t actually delete the property. If for some reason you want to get the property out of the object entirely, you have to use the delete keyword. Now honestly, in practice, the distinction is usually not that important.
Because functions are just regular objects, you can do everything with them that you can do with a normal object. You can assign properties to them; you can assign them to different variables; and when you do, they’re passed by reference, so you can run that function from its new location by just saying the variable name and parentheses.
When you put a function inside of an object, it’s typically called a “method.” You can run methods just like you run any other function by saying object.methodname and then parentheses.
So, if we have myMethod which returns this.val, and we call object1.get(), we’ll get a 42 back. If we call object2.get(), this will be set to object2 and we’ll get 3.14159 back. If we just call myMethod() directly, this won’t be set to anything in particular. It could be undefined if we’re using strict mode; it could be the global object; it’s really hard to tell for sure.
So you have to be really careful when you’re using this. If possible, I really recommend that use strict mode whenever you can because that will force this to be undefined. It won’t prevent mistakes relating to this, but it will help you catch them more quickly.
If you have a case where you need this to be a particular value, you can force it by using either call(), apply(), or bind(). Now the details of those functions are outside the scope of this episode, but let me show you an example of one of them.
If we say myMethod.call(), then that will run the myMethod function and force the this value to whatever we said. So myMethod.call(object1) will set this to object1.
Okay, that’s the basics. Let’s get into some of the more complicated stuff.
The way this works is that you can define a single object, and then have other objects inherit from it, or “extend” it. The way you do that is by calling Object.create().
So if I have a parent object with a function and a value, I can create a new object (which I’ve called child) by saying Object.create(child). You can do anything with this child object that you do with any other object. You can add values to it or even extend it with another child.
Now the cool part is what happens when we start to use these objects.
There’s one more wrinkle I want to share, and that is that every single object has a prototype, except for the base object, and any objects you create yourself to explicitly not have prototypes. Here’s what they look like.
By default, objects that you create have Object.prototype as their prototype, and functions have Function.prototype as their prototype. Notice that this is where those call(), apply(), and bind() methods I was talking about earlier come from.
Now, this is way too much detail to show in most of these visualizations, so what I’m going to do is just use [[Object]] and [[Function]] to refer to those prototypes from here on out.
Once you have objects in a prototype chain, you might find that you want children to behave differently from their parent, even when the same method name is called. This is called “polymorphism.” Polymorphism means, “the same name, but different behaviors.” Now, technically, you can have polymorphism without inheritance, but we’re not going to get into that right now.
So if we say answer.get(), that will give us “42” back, but if we say firmAnswer.get(), that will say “42!!” back. Anyway, you get the idea.
This relationship is actually a little easier to see if we don’t have the function visualizations in there, so I’m going to stop showing them for now.
Now you’ll notice here that our fn2 is looking at this.val and our fn1 is looking at this.val. That’s a bit of duplicated logic. It’s not too bad here, but in more complicated programs, you find that that sort of logic is very difficult to maintain. So typically, what we’re going to want to do, is call fn1 from fn2.
Unfortunately, that’s not quite as easy as it might seem. The obvious answer is to just call fn1… to just say answer.get(). That doesn’t work. It returns the wrong answer. It’s going to return 42. Do you know why? If you don’t, pause the video for a moment and see if you can figure it out.
So, in order for this to work properly, we need to use the call function. We need to say answer.get.call(this). See if you can figure out why this would work.
When we call firmAnswer.get(), this is set to firmAnswer… it looks for get… finds it… runs fn2… and now it says answer.get.call(this). That sets this to, well, the same this again. But then it runs answer.get() directly, which tries to return this.val, which looks for val on firmAnswer, finds it, and returns the correct answer.
For example, we have this answer object which, when you ask it to get the value, returns the value that it has stored.
Well, it’s pretty typical to want to have multiple copies of this object, so typically what people will do is they will put the function in a prototype—which we’ll call AnswerPrototype—and then they’ll have multiple objects extend that prototype to give us special values.
So we see here that lifeAnswer has the value of 42, because it’s the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, and dessertAnswer has the value of pi, for, well, obvious reasons.
If you want to specialize that answer, as we did with firmAnswer before, you can do the same thing. We have our FirmAnswerPrototype add its fn2—the one that puts “!!” on the end—that extends AnswerPrototype. And then we have our luckyAnswer and magicAnswer extend that.
Creating an instance is called “instantiation,” and you’ll notice that there’s a two-step process for that. First, you create the object by extending the prototype, and then second, you initialize its data. (Remember, instances are usually about the data and the prototypes are about the methods—the classes are about the methods.) So we extend and then we initialize.
The problem with this is that this initialization logic is duplicated every time we create a new object. In this simple example, it’s not such as big deal, but in real programs, the initialization logic is usually pretty complicated. So we don’t want to duplicate it everywhere. That would be a big maintenance problem.
It also violates encapsulation. One of the nice things about object-oriented programming is that it allows you to decide how your data is going to be stored in a way that nobody else has to worry about. You just provide access to that data through your methods and then, if you want to change the way data is stored, then you just do it. You update your methods—your object’s methods—but you don’t have to update all the rest of the program.
But here, because all our instances are accessing val directly, we can’t change the way val is stored without having to change all of our instances.
So what’s really common is to use some sort of initialization function. In this case, I’m going to call it constructor(). This is a common method that is used to initialize your objects.
Here’s how this works. Let’s say that we want to create a new instance for magicAnswer. We’ll extend FirmAnswerPrototype and then we’ll say magicAnswer.constructor(3). That will set this to magicAnswer and it will look for the constructor property. It won’t find it on magicAnswer, so it will look at the prototype. It won’t find it there, so it will look at the prototype of FirmAnswerPrototype. It will find constructor there and then run fn0(value). fn0 is going to set this._val to value. So it goes to this, sets the value, and there we go.
Now, let’s look at the classical model. This is going to build on everything we’ve done up until now.
However, new is a little bit, well, weird. It doesn’t work the way we’ve seen up until now, and that’s what makes the classical model I’m about to show you different from the prototypal model I’ve been showing you up until now.
Now, before we get into that, I have to show something a little bit strange about functions. Remember that prototype property I said I’d explain later? Well, I’m going to explain it now. And it is… it’s weird.
Now look at this closely. Does this look familiar?
Okay, so that’s a little weirdness of functions. Let’s see how this plays out to create the classical model.
First, let’s go back to our prototypal model. We’ll walk through it step by step.
So that’s a basic example using the prototypal model. Now let’s do the exact same thing, but this time using the classical model and the new keyword.
The same thing happens with dessertAnswer.
Now, it gets a little more complicated when we start dealing with subclasses. So let’s take a look at how this would work with a subclass. Let’s add the FirmAnswer class that we looked at in our previous prototypal example.
All right, so we have FirmAnswer.prototype with a constructor. Now we need to set our get method on it. Then we can instantiate it as normal. we’ll say new FirmAnswer(7). That will create our luckyAnswer extending FirmAnswer.prototype and we can do the same thing with magicAnswer.
Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the two models. I’ve numbered each of the sections so they correspond. So number one in the prototypal model is doing the exact same thing as in the classical model. Go ahead and pause the video here if you’d like to study this further.
There’s one more detail I’d like to share with you.
First, it looks at Answer.prototype. Not Answer’s prototype, but Answer’s prototype property. Then it looks at lifeAnswer’s actual prototype. And if those two things are the same object then, yes, it’s an instance.
So lifeAnswer wouldn’t be an instance of FirmAnswer. FirmAnswer.prototype is over here. lifeAnswer’s actual prototype is up here. They don’t match, so it’s not an instanceof.
Now, as far as I can tell in my research, that yields the exact same underlying object model that classical inheritance does, as I’ve shown here on the right. But it’s going to be much easier to work with.
If you want to see how that compares to the classical model, I have a side-by-side comparison here. Go ahead and pause the video if you want to study this in depth.
It also is the one that’s most likely to have good IDE support if you want to do some sort of automatic syntax checking or refactoring in your IDE, and it’s also the only approach that supports instanceof. You can hack in support for instanceof into the prototypal model, but it’s not very convenient and actually ends up being uglier than the classical model.
Second, "use strict";. Use the strict mode. It will help prevent situations where this isn’t defined properly.
Third, use JSHint or some other linter. It will help you catch cases where you forgot to use new or you used it in the wrong spot, as long as you use the convention where a class name starts with a capital letter.
Fourth, when the EcmaScript 6 class syntax becomes available, go ahead and use it. It might be a while: at the time I record this, it’s not available in any of the popular browsers, and that means it’s going to be a long time before it’s available in IE. But when it is available, go ahead and use it. It’s a nice, elegant syntax. It maps down to the regular classical model, which means it’ll play nice with all your existing stuff.

If the same government admits there are about 1.8 million of her citizens in these public universities, then one can only imagine that serving this ‘small’ number well, especially with their education is ultimately a great service to the country. This is because the educated members of any community are the ones who will lift that community out of the gutters. However, that’s if they are properly trained (by that, I mean more practically trained to be result-oriented and not the theory-personified graduates that methinks the government is satisfied creating. Theory-personified graduates who, in the final analysis, do not know where is the right and where, the left).
At least, such graduates will not know what their worth in their own country.
They will not know that the natural resources of the country belong to everyone; hence, the revenues generated from same.
They will care less about how these revenues are expended.
Now, to the libel, blackmail and propaganda.
Then, again it was that everything ASUU was asking was salary increase. I’m afraid since the commencement of this strike, salary increase has never been an issue but if the government wants it to be an issue, it must be because, some people in government has need for that extra increase. Of course, they sure know how to pocket such ‘things’ even before the supposed beneficiaries can blink an eye.
The most current one by our GOVERNMENT WITH HIGH REPUTATION to say the least is that the opposition has infiltrated the ranks of ASUU; and this, the ‘Government of the People’ claim is the reason why ASUU has “remained ‘rigid and unbending’ to suggestions on how to agree on some of the issues it was agitating for so as to end the strike which had entered its ninth week.” One can only wonder since when the government has become like the theory-oriented graduates who do not know the difference between negotiation and an already signed MoU.
How thinking or unthinking can it be for ASUU (a body with probably the most Professors in Nigeria) to allow the infiltration of their ranks with opposition, and especially for the government to claim such a horrendous ‘stuff’? Does the government know what opposition means? Does the government know opposition might have infiltrated their ranks too? WHo will forget the last time the Presidency claimed Boko Haram has infiltrated the government? So, what does it matter now that they claim ‘human’ opposition has infiltrated ASUU? Does the government expect the opposition to be a ‘no-face’ entity, residing in the crevices of life that doesn’t really exist? lol.
And then, this one. The government in a bid to sideline ASUU and buoy the spirit of the students into supporting them against ASUU (an obvious miscalculation, I suppose) has promised to offer monetary incentives somewhat to students. Of course, who doesn’t know that the reigning culture is ‘ghana-must-go’? That’s what happens everywhere, especially in government corners and they are only under some sort of pressure to extend the same to the people they are supposed to educate. That’s if the students are not better than the government in that wise. Anyway, the one knows it is probably the only language understood by the other. So, use it!
“As a way of making nonsense of the industrial action by ASUU, SaharaReporters gathered that the government plans to introduce loans to the students throughout their period in the university so as to cushion the effect of the financial hardship on the students.
With the foregoing, the government expects the students to be jubilating because out of the TRILLIONS some members of the government have successfully stashed somewhere, they will give out TRINKETS to students, who hitherto could not afford it. Let me strike a note of warning, Nigeria is one of the very few countries, if not surprisingly the only one, that is always desperate to implement glimpsed foreign policies without having put in place necessary measures to ensure such policies are properly ‘annexed’ (nay, stolen). So, the much of the country that you and I know should suffice to tell us that this country, sorry, I mean the people we elect to lead us, at least for now, will not (at least, not in their sane or insane minds) go all out to do what they and us all know is good for the country.
Where will that act leave them? I mean, sharing as loan (is it N1,000, N5,000 or N100,000) to 1.8 million Nigerian students). Where will they get that from? I thought they said the country has no money. Hahahaha. Of course this must be one of the lie lie they peddle. But don’t say lAkUnLeScReWs said it’s a lie because they may just rush to bring back all the monies stashed in Switzerland and elsewhere and pay up. They’ll call it ‘saving face’.
