Women’s hockey end game might not benefit from a boycott

By Damien Cox Sports Columnist Fri., May 3, 2019 What was already confusing is only more so today. And that’s probably the way it has to be right now with women’s professional hockey in North America. There have been many rumours and much speculation, and certainly a great deal of backroom fighting and disagreement, about what the future should look like. To get beyond that, many of the top players have banded together in what they are touting as an act of solidarity to protect the female hockey industry and its future. It’s admirable, particularly for those of us who have applauded the growth of the women’s game and would very much like to see professional women’s hockey become a viable business. But does this new strategy make any sense? Saying “it is time” for a sustainable league, 200 of the best players have said they won’t play at all until they get “the resources that professional hockey demands and … [Read more...] about Women’s hockey end game might not benefit from a boycott

MANILA, Philippines — Dr. Evan Antin has been dubbed Sexiest Beast Charmer and World’s Hottest Animal Doctor.

Instant six-packs now possible at this plastic surgery hospital in Bangkok
Want a beach-ready body but don't have time to hit the gym? There's a place in Thailand that's offering a quick fix. When it comes to plastic surgery, we are all too familiar with nose jobs, breast augmentation, and double eyelid surgery. A hospital in Bangkok, however, has taken it one step further with 'instant' six-pack surgery for those who are too lazy to work out. In an interview with Coconuts Thailand, Masterpiece Hospital CEO and surgeon Raweewat “Sae” Maschamadol shared that they receive between 20 and 30 customers each year asking for six-pack surgery. Instead of implanting silicone into patients' abdomens, the abs are 'etched' out by removing fat around the abdomen area. This creates a more natural and long lasting appearance as opposed to fillers, said Raweewat. While the surgeon claims that the surgery is painless, the recovery process is definitely not a pretty sight. Don't worry, these are … [Read more...] about Instant six-packs now possible at this plastic surgery hospital in Bangkok
