Local 12-Year-Old Nikki Bidun Wins Top Chef Cooking Contest
By Lisa Kava
A 12 year old Upper West Sider was crowned the winner of reality show Top Chef Junior's Season 2 earlier this month, winning a prize of $50,000. Nikki Bidun, a 7th grader at M.S. 54 Booker T. Washington Middle School has been cooking since she was toddler.
"I'm an only child so I didn't have a lot to do when I was younger. When I was 2 or 3 I started to help my parents in the kitchen, really basic stuff like rolling cookie dough or if they were making scrambled eggs I would crack the eggs" Nikki told West Side Rag in an interview.
According to Nikki, she continued to help her parents in the kitchen as she got older. What began as a way to spend time became a serious interest which developed into a passion.
"When I was about 7 or 8 I discovered that cooking was really interesting and a creative way to put myself on a plate." At that time Nikki began cooking meals by herself and asked her parents to enroll her in cooking classes. "A lot of the classes for that age were decorating cupcakes or making pizza dough and that was not what I wanted to learn. So my parents would take me to a plating class or a knife skills class. We went to a lot of regional classes so we could learn about different styles of food."
At the age of 10, Nikki auditioned for her first cooking competition, Chopped Junior. She won the contest which West Side Rag wrote about here.
Top Chef Junior is produced by Universal Kids, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment's network for kids 2-12. Season 2 featured twelve chefs aged 10-13 from across the country competing for the Top Chef Junior title and the $50,000 cash prize according to a press release from NBCUniversal Kids.
Nikki auditioned for Season 1 of Top Chef Junior in early 2017 but was not selected. She was disappointed and determined to make it the next time.
"I watched the show over and over again. I thought the show was really interesting and really well put together," said Nikki. "I kept watching it and I kept practicing for the whole year for Season 2. I tried out again and this time I got in and clearly it was a success because I won the season."
The teenage contestants had various cooking challenges throughout the season. Each week a contestant was eliminated until it came down to two finalists, one of which was Nikki. Each finalist was allowed to each pick two sous chefs from the contestants that were eliminated prior for the finale.
"At the finale of the show, which aired on December 1st the challenge was to create a three course meal inspired by family, friends and our growth throughout the competition" Nikki explained. "For the first course I made a pork soup dumpling with soy sauce and rice vinegar foam that was inspired by my Russian grandmother. I decided I would elevate them and put the soup inside the dumpling instead of having the soup served in a broth."
The additional courses included a short rib ragu with fresh made fettuccini and homemade ricotta and a lemon soufflé.
When asked how she balanced filming the show with school Nikki replied "my school was supportive. The teachers kept me updated. We had worksheets that the teachers would email to me. They emailed me homework and tests and I still made honor roll at the end of the year."
Nikki's parents, Olga and Michael Bidun, who both enjoy cooking have been fully supportive of Nikki's interest in cooking from the start.
"As a family, we always liked watching cooking shows" said Olga. "We didn't really know how much our family cooking would impact Nikki until she tried out and made Chopped Junior in 2017 when she was 10. At that point Nikki's competitive spirit really hit overdrive with practicing with new ingredients from Chinatown and tons of research online and taking cooking courses. After winning Chopped Junior, Nikki wanted to be on Top Chef Junior. It is the most prestigious cooking competition for young chefs and she was determined to make it."
Cooking and learning about different foods has been a large part of the Biduns family life Olga explained. "Living in Manhattan has given Nikki access to an incredible set of culinary culture from courses to restaurants which we try to take advantage of. Restaurant Week is a holiday we love to plan in our home." said Olga
West Side Rag asked Olga if she had any advice for other parents with children who demonstrate a passion at a young age. "We couldn't have been prouder watching Nikki on the show. I was supported by my mother when I was a ballroom dancer in Belarus, she'd make my dresses and take me to practices and performances. Mike's mom washed his football clothes after every football practice and was a booster. Just like we were supported, we try to support Nikki without dictating what she should be."
Nikki says she will remain in touch with the contestants from the show and that she has made close friendships. "Olivia and Ella and I try to hang out as much as possible. The top 12 have a group chat."
As for the $50,000 prize? Nikki plans to put it to use towards both culinary school and a safari to Africa. Her ultimate end goal is to own a restaurant. "But first I definitely want to finish middle school."

Congratulations, Nikki! I am very happy for you. Loved reading this story about you and your family. I hope to be able to watch the finale On Demand. Enjoy your safari and best of luck to you in your future culinary endeavors.

place, as we hunted gazelles and hares by the way. A tunnel through the rock opens by two low arched outlets, upon the river. It is of considerable length, and is continued for about a mile by a deep channel, also cut in the rock, but open at the top. I suspected at once that this was an Assyrian work, and on examining the interior of the tunnel, discovered a slab covered with cuneiform characters, which had fallen from its place, and had been wedged in a crevice. With much difficulty I ascertained that an inscription had also been cut on the back of the tablet. From the darkness of the place, I could scarcely copy even the few characters which had resisted the wear of centuries. Some days after, others who had casually heard of my visit, and conjectured that some Assyrian remains might have been found there, sent a party of workmen to the spot; who, finding the slab, broke it into pieces, in their attempt to displace it. This wanton destruction of the tablet is much to be regretted ; as, from the fragment of the inscription copied, I can perceive that it contained several royal names previously unknown.*
The tunnel of Negoub is undoubtedly a remarkable work, undertaken, as it would appear from the inscription, during the reign of the builder of the palace at Kouyunjik. Its object is doubtful. It may have led the waters of the Zab into the surrounding country for irrigation; or it may have been the termination of the great canal, which is still to be traced by a double range of lofty mounds near the ruins of Nimroud, and which may have united the Tigris with the neighboring river, and thus fertilised a large tract of land. In either case, the level of the two rivers, as well as the face of the country, must have changed considerably since the period of its construction. At present Negoub is above the Zab, except at the time of the highest foods in spring, and then water is only found in the mouth of the tunnel ; all other parts having been much choked up with rubbish and river deposits.
* I have since been able to restore the greater part of the inscription from the fragments of this tablet. It is of considerable importance, as it gives us the names of the father and perhaps grandfather of the Khorsabad King, with which we were not previously acquainted.
THE operations at Nimroud having been completely suspended until orders could be received from Constantinople, I thought the time not inopportune to visit Sofuk, the Sheikh of the great nomad Arab tribe of Shammar, which occupies nearly the whole of Mesopotamia. He had lately left the Khabour, and was now encamped near the western bank of the Tigris, below its junction with the Zab, and consequently not far from Nimroud. I had two objects in going to his tents ; in the first place I wished to obtain the friendship of the chief of a powerful tribe of Bedouins, who would probably cross the river in the neighbourhood of the excavations during the summer, and might indulge, to my cost, in their plundering propensities ; and, at the same time, I was anxious to visit the remarkable ruins of Al Hather, which I had only examined very hastily on my former journey.
Mr. Rassam (the Vice-Consul) and his wife, with several native gentlemen of Mosul, Mussulmans and Christians, were induced to accompany me ; and, as we issued from the gates of the town, and assembled in the well-peopled burying-ground opposite the Governor's palace, I found myself at the head of a formidable party. Our tents, obtained from the Pasha, with our provisions and necessary furniture, were carried by a string of twelve camels. Mounted above these loads, and on donkeys, was an army of camel-drivers, tent-pitchers, and volunteers ready for all services. There were, moreover, a few irregular horsemen, the Cawasses, the attendants of the Mosul gentlemen, the Mosul gentlemen themselves, and our own servants, all armed to the teeth. Ali Effendi, chief of the Mosul branch of the Omeree, or descendants of Omar, which had furnished several Pashas to the province, was our principal Mussulman friend. He was mounted on the Hedban, a well-known white Arab, beautiful in form and pure in blood, but then of great age. Close at his horse's heels followed a confidential servant; who, perched on a pack-saddle, seemed to roll from side to side on two small barrels, the use of which might have been an enigma, had they not emitted a very strong smell of raki. A Christian gentleman was wrapped up in cloaks and furs, and appeared to dread the cold, although the thermometer was at 100. The English lady was equipped in riding-habit and hat. The two Englishmen, Mr. Ross and myself, wore a striking mixture of European and oriental raiments. Mosul ladies, in blue veils, their faces concealed by black horsehair sieves, had been dragged. to the top of piles of carpets and cushions, under which groaned their unfortunate mules. Greyhounds in leashes were led by Arabs on foot; whilst others played with strange dogs, who followed the caravan for change of air. The horsemen galloped round and round, now dashing into the centre of the crowd, throwing their horses on their haunches when at full speed, or discharging their guns and pistols into the air. A small flag with British colours was fastened to the top of a spear, and confided to a Cawass. Such was the motley caravan which left Mosul by the Bab el Top, where a crowd of women had assembled to witness the procession.
We took the road to the ruins of the monastery of Mar Elias, a place of pilgrimage for the Christians of Mosul, which we passed after an hour's ride. Evening set in before we could reach the desert, and we pitched our tents for the night on a lawn near a deserted village, about nine miles from the town.
On the following morning we soon emerged from the low limestone hills; which, broken into a thousand rocky valleys, form a barrier between the Tigris and the plains of Mesopotamia. We now found ourselves in the desert, or rather wilderness ; for at this time of the year, nature could not disclose a more varied scene, or a more luxuriant vegetation. We trod on an interminable carpet, figured by flowers of every hue. Nor was water wanting; for the abundant rains had given reservoirs to every hollow, and to every ravine. Their contents, owing to the nature of the soil, were brackish, but not unwholesome. Clusters of black tents were scattered, and focks of sheep and camels wandered, over the plain. Those of our party who were well mounted urged their horses through the meadows, pursuing the herds of gazelles, or the wild boar, skulking in the long grass. Although such scenes as these may be described, the exhilaration caused by the air of the desert in spring, and the feeling of freedom arising from the contemplation of its boundless expanse, must have been experienced before they can be understood. The stranger, as well as the Arab, feels the intoxication of the senses which they produce.
About mid-day we found ourselves in the midst of extensive herds of camels. They belonged to the tribe of Haddedeen. The sonorous whoop of the Arab herdsmen resounded from all sides. A few horsemen were galloping about, driving back the stragglers, and directing the march of the leaders of the herd. Shortly after we came up with some families moving to a new place of encampment, and at their head I recognised my old antiquity hunter, Mormous. He no sooner perceived us than he gave orders to those who followed him, and of whom he was the chief, to pitch their tents. We were now in the Wadi Ghusub, formed by a small salt stream, forcing its sluggish way through a dense mass of reeds and water shrubs, from which the valley has taken its name. About fifteen tents having been raised, a sheep was slaughtered in front of the one in which we sat; large wooden bowls of sour milk, and platters of fresh butter were placed before us; fires of camel's dung were lighted; decrepit old women blew up the flames; the men cut the carcase into small pieces, and capacious cauldrons soon sent forth volumes of steam.
The sheep having been boiled, the Arabs pulled the fragments out of the cauldron and laid them on the wooden platters with their fingers. We helped ourselves after the same fashion. The servants succeeded to the dishes, which afterwards passed through the hands of the camel drivers and tent pitchers; and at last, denuded of all apparently edible portions, reached a strong party of expectant Arabs. The condition of the bones by the time they were delivered to a crowd of hungry dogs, assembled on the occasion, may easily be imagined.
We resumed our journey in the afternoon, preceded by Mormous, who volunteered to accompany us. As we rode over the plain, we fell in with the Sheikh of the Haddedeen mounted on a fine mare, and followed by a large concourse of Arabs, driving their beasts of burden loaded with tents and furniture. He offered to conduct us to a branch of the Shammar, whose encampment we could reach before evening. We gladly accepted his offer, and he left his people to ride with us.
We had been wandering to and fro in the desert, uncertain as to the course we should pursue. The Sheikh now rode in the direction of the Tigris. Before nightfall we came to a large encampment, and recognised in its chief one Khalaf, an Arab who frequently came to Mosul, and whom Mr. Rassam and myself had met on our previous journey to Al Hather. He received us with hospitality; sheep were immediately slaughtered, and we dismounted at his tent. Even his wives, amongst whom was a remarkably pretty Arab girl, came to us to gratify their curiosity by a minute examination of the Frank lady. As the intimacy, which began to spring up, was somewhat inconvenient, we directed our tents to be pitched at a distance from the encampment, by the side of a small stream. It was one of those calm and pleasant evenings, which in spring make a paradise of the desert. The breeze, bland and perfumed by the odor of flowers, came calmly over the plain. As the sun went down, countless camels and sheep wandered to the tents, and the melancholy call of the herdsmen rose above the bleating of the flocks. The Arabs led their prancing mares

7 year old girl tells housewives their husbands have been sleeping with her
A 7 year old girl has confirmed to two housewives that she slept with their husbands.
It has been discovered that two married men continually defiled a 7-year-old girl in their compound in Lagos after the girl opened up.
The suspects, Mr. Osuntunbo Dare, 42 and Idowu Gbolahan, 29, who live at Sanusi Street in Shomolu, Lagos, both sexually abused their neighbour's daughter separately and were each not aware that the other was doing the same thing.
The abuse which began in 2017 continued into 2018 until the girl's mother suspected, checked her private part and found out her daughter had been defiled.
It was at this point that the girl opened up and fingered Dare and Gbolahan as the culprits.
Investigation revealed that Dare was the first to begin assaulting the girl in 2017. Then in 2018, Gbolahan joined to rape the girl on multiple occasions. Both men threatened the girl not to reveal their actions to anyone.
Dare and Gbolahan were arrested after the matter was reported to the police at the Gender Section of the Command, P.M. Express reports. Their wives were also informed and the girl confirmed to the women that their husbands had been sexually assaulting her.
It was at the police station that Dare and Gbolahan discovered that they were both sleeping with the victim after the girl confronted them before the police. They were found culpable and charged before the Ogba Magistrates court for the alleged offence. The court ordered them to be remanded in prison without taking their plea.

I'm committed to fair 2019 polls, Buhari tells May
President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday assured British Prime Minister Theresa May of his commitment to credible elections in 2019. He made the pledge when May visited Abuja.In a meeting with the prime minister, Buhari welcomed U.K.'s support for strengthening democratic institutions in Nigeria. He said: "I assure you that I'm all out for free, fair and credible elections. Nigeria has accepted multiparty democracy and that is putting politicians on their toes, forcing them to work harder."
Applauding the support of the U.K. for his administration's anti-corruption campaign, Buhari noted: "We had great opportunities and resources between 1999 and 2014, due to high oil prices. But when we came in 2015, oil prices plunged to as low as $37 per barrel. What we have been doing since 2015 is focusing on infrastructure development, despite low earnings. Work is ongoing on roads, rail, power and many others."
On Brexit, Buhari, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said his government was "nervously watching developments," stressing that he was prepared to strengthen the relationship between both countries.He also thanked the U.K. government for its support on security and counter- insurgency operations in north east Nigeria and for improved trade relations.
Earlier, in remarks before the meeting, the Nigerian leader underscored the need for U.K.'s support for reviving Lake Chad, a means of livelihood for millions of people.The prime minister appreciated Buhari's assurance on credible polls, saying she was pleased to be in Abuja to continue the "excellent discussions" she started with him in London in April, particularly on security, trade, asset recovery and the fight against corruption.
"Security and defence cooperation are very important steps to addressing Boko Haram and Islamic State in West Africa," May said. On asset recovery, she told Buhari: "We do not want to hold anything that belongs to the Nigerian people, but we follow the judicial process, which can be slow."She appealed to the president to use his position as ECOWAS chairman to keep the issue of human trafficking on the front burner in the sub-region.
The leaders witnessed the signing of two agreements on security and defence partnership and economic development forum.Answering questions after the meeting, Minister of Foreign Affairs Geoffrey Onyeama explained: "This clearly highlights the two priority areas in our relationship at the moment. The defence and security pact is a comprehensive agreement that covers all aspects of security challenges.
"Apart from military training, there is also support for policing, civil policing, human rights aspect of security and close cooperation that the two countries will have."On the economic deal, the minister said: "This is a forum that really aims at co-prosperity. The prosperity of our two countries will leverage on areas where we have comparative advantages – the financial centre that London is and the investment opportunities in our country, being ready to build that up with the private sector as well as the government level."
He added: "Everything will be comprehensive and involve different stakeholders. This is in the context of U.K.'s Brexit. Coming out of the European union, they feel freer now to engage with countries on bilateral level and build up trade relations with those countries."
The prime minister also visited Lagos State and was received by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and other state officials. Ambode, who affirmed that Lagos remains a choice destination for investors from the United Kingdom, noted that the relationship between Britain and Nigeria dates back to the 19th Century.
"The important part of this visit to us, more or less, is to discuss how investment in Lagos can be improved upon by British investors and you would realise the fact that Lagos is the commercial capital of Nigeria and a whole lot of British investments are actually domiciled in Lagos," he said.
Speaking to journalists at the airport, May said: "I have had a fantastic visit to Nigeria and we have outstanding relationship between U.K. and Nigeria. But there is much more that we can do in the future. I enjoyed being able to come to Abuja and also to Lagos to see the thriving business community here. We want to see increased trade between Nigeria and U.K. and increased investment."
The prime minister expressed the desire of the British government to assist Lagos in the development of its creative industry and alluded to the fact that the jacket she wore was made in Nigeria.She also pledged to facilitate export credit finance worth £750 million (N354,467,010,250 billion) to boost the state's economy.
The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), meanwhile, stepped up its criticism of the All Progressives Congress (APC), yesterday, accusing it of reneging on its promise to restructure the country.According to the PDP, a comment by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo dismissing agitations for restructuring has further confirmed that the ruling party lied to Nigerians to win the 2015 elections.
The PDP, in a statement by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, said APC made the issue of restructuring a cardinal agenda in its manifesto, alongside other bogus promises, which it failed to fulfill. It said the ruling party's dodgy approach to the issue has earned it the odious reputation of the most deceptive political organisation in the history of the nation.
"The APC, in line with its duplicitous script, went ahead to set up a deceptive committee on restructuring, which made several recommendations they never contemplated implementing. It was only to create an impression that their dysfunctional party and incompetent government are committed to their promises.Also, a former Sokoto State governor, Attahiru Bafarawa, alleged that the poor quality of governance and widespread poverty across the country was responsible for the rising spate of insecurity in the country.His criticism was backed by a former Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, who while declaring his intention in Abuja to contest the 2019 presidential race, promised he would "vigorously pursue institutional reforms in security and paramilitary agencies and the justice system that would serve as a huge disincentive for crime and criminality."
Linda Ikeji hints about the identity of her baby daddy as she showers expensive gifts on her son (Photos)
Popular blogger, Linda Ikeji whose excitement about her baby is contagious has revealed a hint about her 'secret' baby daddy.
In a lengthy message about her extreme love for children and how she intends to be the best mother in the world, Linda Ikeji let it slip that the baby's father is tall, dark and handsome!
Sharing the above photo from a maternity shoot she had, the media entrepreneur wrote:
I love children so much. I'm particularly obsessed with babies. I grew up in a compound with a lot of neighbours and believe it or not, as a teenager/young woman, I was the unofficial resident babysitter. I swear, ask my siblings. I literally carried all the newborn babies born in that compound at a period of time until they grew up to a certain age. Their mums used to come drop the babies at our house whenever they were tired or wanted to go out, this was, of course, to the annoyance of my family..lol.
The first baby I carried was a boy named Makoba (wonder where he is now, this was about 20yrs ago). From the first day I carried him, I didn't want to let him go. So every time I had free time, and his mum hadn't brought him to me, I would walk two floors up, knock on his family's door and ask them if they wanted me to take the child off them for a while. I was always happy when they said yes. After him other mums started dropping their kids with me.
Back then my sisters and I used to take turns to cook every day of the week. So whenever it was my turn to cook and I was babysitting and they insisted I go cook, I'd tell my sisters to either hold the baby for me so I could go cook or they go cook. They always chose the latter. Lol.
Then my siblings started having children & I started to feel more joy. These were no longer neighbours' or friends' children, these were my nephews and nieces. My family! And carrying them brought me even more joy. If I was planning to go out and I heard my beautiful nephews and niece were coming over to the house, most times, I change plans and just stay home with them. There's no greater joy for me than being around them.
So now imagine soon I will look down at a baby, and it won't be a neighbor's child, a friend's child, a sister's child, but my own child, my own flesh and blood, carried in my womb. My own son. It's surreal. I can't get over it.
Dear son, you are my greatest dream realized and I can't wait to meet you! I plan to be one of the best mums the world has ever seen. Thanks for choosing me
Sometimes I wonder what he will look like. His dad is tall, dark and handsome and I'm cute too so fingers crossed
Taking to her Instagram story, she also shared photos of some of the designer clothes she's already buying for her baby boy, to the surprise of her mum who can't believe the extravagant cost of them.

Simi Shares How She Met Her First Love At The Age 13
Songstress, Simi has made another interesting revelation about her love life. The singer revealed how she met her first love at the tender age of 13, further stating that "it did happen"; alluding to losing her virginity to her first love.
The singer told The Sun News, "my first love? I met him when I was 13 and in SS1. I was just about to turn 14 and he just came to my school."
"How do you really explain that as a child? But it did happen, and he left my school after a while, so we drifted apart. Then we met somewhere again. We drifted apart again and then that was it."
Simi went on to admit that she is currently in a romantic relationship with someone she hopes to eventually build a family with. She believes that should naturally be the outcome when one is emotionally invested in a love affair.
"Well, I hope he is the one because I don't think relationships should just be for leisure. I can't really speak for anybody but for me. If I am giving you an access to that part of my life then it has to be worth my while and worth his while as well. But I can't force it though, if he is the one, fine and if not, fine", she said.

Secret Service Is Analysing The Voice In Leah Sharibu's Audio – Presidency
Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity has said the presidency is investigating the leaked audio linked to Leah Sharibu, currently in circulation.
Leah Sharibu is currently the only Dapchi girl still in the custody of Boko Haram and according to Shehu, the president is determined not to rest until all the girls are freed, just as he noted that "in dealing with terrorists, nothing is too trivial".
"We are aware of the audio in circulation concerning the unfortunate situation of our daughter, Leah Sharibu. In dealing with terrorists, nothing is too trivial. The secret service is analyzing the voice. Our reaction will follow the outcome of the investigation. For President Buhari, nothing will be spared in bringing all our girls home. He will not rest until all of them are freed" he tweeted.
Presidency Reacts To Donald Trump's "Lifeless" Comment
The presidency has shrugged off the derogatory comment allegedly made by US President Donald Trump about President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to a viral report by Financial Times, the controversial US president said he never wanted to meet someone as "lifeless" as President Buhari.
But reacting to the alleged comment on Sunrise Daily, a Channels TV programme on Tuesday, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina said that the presidency would not comment on the statement since it is not attributed to anyone.
He added that the statement is "not verified".
Adesina said, "If it is unverified as it came out, then the presidency has no comment. It does not pass any concerns of good journalism."
The presidential aide also downplayed insinuations that the alleged statement could influence public opinion against Buhari ahead of the 2019 presidential election.
"No, it won't. Nigerians are the ones that would ultimately elect their president; no foreign power will determine who gets elected," he said.
"That does not worry us because it is unsubstantiated, unverified. anybody could have planted it, you know that in the jostle for power people can do anything."
Adesina also declined to give a definite date for the rescue of Leah Sharibu, the Christian Dapchi girl still being held captive by Boko Haram despite the release of all her schoolmates.
He said, "For how much longer, I think that question can only be answered by God. I believe that God is interested in that young girl and will ensure that she is preserved.
"I think when that clip that we have is verified, at least one will be sure that it's her and when that is determined, we should all be glad that she is alive.
"When will she return? By the grace of God, the government is working on it and we believe she will be back."
Bone setter cautions against s3x, cold water
A traditional bone- setter (TBS), Mr Ganranwei Robinson, on Tuesday advised people undergoing bone-treatment to avoid sex and cold water to ensure fast healing.
Robinson gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at the Riverine community in Festac/Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State.
According to the traditional bone-setter, it is necessary to avoid sexual intercourse until the wound heals, so that the treatment will not be prolonged.
"The reason is because some patients may have sustained internal injuries.
"During intercourse and at the point of ejaculation, all the body systems will change, and it will affect the spot of the fracture, thus prolonging the healing," he said.
The expert cautioned those undergoing bone-treatment to guide against cold and soft drinks, to avoid rheumatic pains.
"You know when the bone breaks into two, the blood does not circulate well in the body because the affected portion is bandaged.
"If the person takes anything cold, it can cause him or her pain."
The bone specialist advised patients with such problem to get treated for pains and infections before commencing bone-treatment.
According to him, such treatment makes the job of a bone-setter faster, adding that he refers patients to medical doctors to prevent complications.
"I have medical doctors I refer patients to. The doctors take care of people with high sugar or blood pressure levels.
"The doctor treats the diabetes while I treat the wound," he said. (NAN)
Applicant dies in Ikoyi passport office
When he set out yesterday to the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) passport office in Ikoyi, Lagos State, it was in the hope of procuring the green booklet that would ensure his prospect for a sojourn outside the shores of the country, but painfully, the end came in a brutish manner to such an ambition when an applicant seeking the Nigerian international passport died yesterday.
The applicant had arrived at the passport office at about 7:00a.m. accompanied by his wife and they were asked to wait till 9:00a.m. before they would be attended to.
It was gathered that at about 10:00a.m. the man became restless and started complaining of severe heat and discomfort. He then requested to use the restroom.
An eyewitness who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said: "He was walking up and down complaining that he should be attended to as he and his wife arrived the passport office before other applicants the officers were attending to.
We told him that even though he came early, our official resumption time is 9:00a.m. but he would not listen.
Along the line, he said we should show him the toilet and we showed him.
"After about 20 minutes, his wife became worried that he has not come out from the toilet, but we calmed her down and our toilet attendants were asked to monitor the man.
After about 40 minutes, we knocked several times and he did not respond. We tried to open the door, but it was locked from the inside.
The mistake was that we should have forced the door open, but we were warned by our superior not to break the door until the police arrived the scene.
"The police later arrived and forced the door to the toilet open. What we saw was gory.
He had removed his clothes and he was sitting on the stool, but he was dead.
He died few minutes before we opened the door, maybe he would have survived if we had rushed him to the hospital," the source said.
Another eyewitness said there was pandemonium as people scampered to safety as the dead body was brought out from the toilet.
The Passport Controller in charge of Ikoyi Passport Office, (PCO) Mani Yari, said: "Yes, it is the true. An applicant died in our toilet.
He came to our office with his wife. There was no queue, as he did not come to collect passport.
We attend to visitors as from 9:00a.m. and at the exact time, we started attending to the applicants.
Along the line, the deceased said he wanted to ease himself.
"It was after about 40 minutes that the wife started raising the alarm that her husband had not come back from the toilet.
We thought it was the normal panic from a woman.
But when we arrived the scene and he did not open the door, we then called the police who came and bust the door open and we saw the lifeless body.
The body has been deposited at a government hospital for autopsy," he narrated.

Ademola Lookman holds key to Barcelona's transfer target
Barcelona's ability to land their desired player before the end of the transfer window on Friday depends on Everton's Ademola Lukman, who is on loan to RB Leipzig, reports express.co.uk.
Barcelona have been busy in the transfer market this summer, singing four players.
They also saw Andres Iniesta and Paulinho leave as manager Ernesto Valverde overhauled his midfield.
They are still looking to make one more signing in the transfer market, with Friday's deadline day looming.
But the manager's hopes could rest on Everton being willing to play ball.
According to reports earlier this week, Barcelona have shelved plans to sign Ajax midfielder Frenkie De Jong in order to chase RB Leipzig's Kevin Kampl instead.
The Nou Camp giants will try to sign De Jong next summer after Ajax held out strong resistance to a deal being done this week.
A move for Kampl is supposedly on the cards but Leipzig don't want to lose their midfielder. That is, unless they sign a replacement – and that is where Everton come in
Mercy Aigbe and Toyin Abraham settle their fight at Bobrisky's pre-birthday dinner (photos)
Nollywood actresses, Mercy Aigbe and Toyin Abraham who were recently at loggerheads have now ironed out their indifference.
The two rivaled actresses were spotted over the weekend at the pre-birthday dinner of Nigerian male barbie, Bobrisky.
The ladies took selfies and sat together to prove to fans that their dispute was indeed over.
You will recall that their fight drew the attention of many after a public Instagram fight between them.
Upon the Instagram war, Toyin claimed that it was a publicity stunt but after a while, the altercation brought about a split in some actors taking sides (Yomi Fabiyi and Kemi Afolabi) which finally led to the two ladies unfollowing each other.
Anyway, all is fine between them now.

What You Should Know About Dogs This Year
How To Find The Best Doggy Daycare
If you have a busy day ahead of you and no one is going to be left at your home to take care of your dogs, don't take the risk of leaving them behind. You'd want your pooch to be taken care of and qualified doggy daycare would be able to do this for you. It is highly likely that you treat your dogs very dear to you and this is why you shouldn't be hasty in choosing a daycare and risk the chance of ending up in a disappointing one. Here are some tips for you to make use of, if you want to find the best doggy daycare today.
If you have already researched some potential doggy daycare to go for, you should set a schedule to tour around the facilities of the daycare. There's no doubt that you'll have a more fruitful tour if the owner is able to tour you around himself, as he'll surely be able to tell you everything you need to know about the establishment. As you take your tour, make sure that the area is not only hygienic, but also has proper security measures to ensure that dog will remain safe, and would not accidentally go out of the area due to their adventurous behavior.
You would have definitely seen dogs in a fight before and this is certainly something you don't want your pooch to get into while in the daycare. You don't want this to happen to your dog as you leave him on the doggy daycare and it would be more reassuring if the daycare is also in line with your concern and solves the situation with the help of grouping dogs. There are diverse criteria that can be used to minimize disputes and fights among dogs and the most common aspects that daycares look into, is the size and the temperament of the dogs.
Dogs would obviously not be simply left behind a room of the daycare – there's bound to be an employee who'll be taking care of them for the day. More often than not, dogs are categorized whether they are active or not and if your dog is on the latter, it is critical that the employee is only assigned to a lesser amount of dogs. Put great importance in learning more about the ratio of the employees to dogs within the establishment.
Food is one of the most important thing for your dog's day. Doggies may get treats from the daycare if they end up doing something that makes the daycare approve of them. Since the food is directly related to the health of your dog, make sure that you inform the daycare about certain diet information about your dog, which could be crucial to their health. If your dog has unusual behavior like becoming more aggressive when confronted with a treat, you should also tell the daycare about this.

Classic Streamliners - TRAINCYCLOPEDIA
The Union Pacific Railroad's M-10000, delivered to the railroad on February 12, 1934, at a cost of $230,997, was the first internal combustion engine, lightweight streamlined express passenger train in the United States. The carbodies and interior fittings were built by Pullman-Standard. The 600 hp V12 distillate engine was built by General Motors' Cleveland subsidiary, the Winton Engine Company. The Electro-Motive Corporation (EMC) supervised installation of the Winton engine into the Pullman-built body. This engine design was unrelated to the later 201 or 201A Winton diesels. EMC, being primarily a marketing organization during this time, did not manufacture any component parts of the M-10000. The air brake compressor, main generator, traction motors and control equipment were manufactured by the General Electric Company.
Pullman engineer Martin P Blomberg helped style the exterior of the M-10000 and the M-10001. The US Patent and Trademark Office assigned U.S. Patent D100,000, U.S. Patent D100,001, and U.S. Patent D100,002 for the design. The M-10000 featured a turret cab, an inward-slanting Duralumin body with a nose formed of parabolic arches, and large nose air intakes on each side of the centerline. The train was painted in Armour Yellow with Leaf Brown roof and undersides. Later, the area around the front air intake was also painted yellow. Dividing lines of red separated the colors.
Two Streamlined Machines:A Streamlined 1934 Chrysler Airflow sits next to the Union Pacific's M10000 "City of Salina" Streamlined Passenger Train. The Chrysler Airflow was produced by the Chrysler Corporation from 1934 to 1937. The Airflow was one of the first full-size American production cars to use streamlining as a basis for building a sleeker automobile, one less susceptible to air resistance.
The M-10000 was as much a publicity tool as a practical train. During 1934 it made a 13,000-mile exhibition tour across the US, visiting Washington, DC, for inspection by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Everywhere it went it attracted crowds and press attention, hosting almost 1,000,000 visitors. M-10000 succeeded in its aim of helping reinvent and modernize the passenger train in the popular imagination of Depression-era America, yet in contemporary memory it has long since been eclipsed by the later Pioneer Zephyr. Many other Streamliners inspired by the M-10000 were rapidly developed, and within 15 years most major American railroads had a "streamlined" train of some type.
The M-10000 was eventually named City of Salina for the Kansas City-Salina route it served, but it was also nicknamed the "Tin Worm" or "Little Zip". Since it was built of Duralumin (or Duraluminum; an alloy containing aluminum, copper, manganese and magnesium, aka aircraft aluminum), the M-10000 was scrapped in early 1942 to contribute its materials to the war effort, among other reasons.

Federal agencies budget $42M for Asian carp prevention
Federal officials say they'll continue efforts to prevent Asian carp from reaching the Great Lakes, despite uncertainty about what Donald Trump might propose.
The Obama administration has spent over $388 million since 2010 to shield the lakes from the invasive fish, which could disrupt food chains and compete with valuable native species.
Officials say they've budgeted $42 million this year for Asian carp projects. They include further study of ways to fortify defenses at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam complex on a carp-infested Illinois waterway leading to Lake Michigan.
Sens. Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters of Michigan urged the Army Corps of Engineers on Thursday to finish the study this month, instead of in 2019 as planned.
Agencies also plan more work on potential carp detection and control technologies.

Glen Brooks has been involved in the Precision Sheet Metal Industry since he graduated high school in 1998. He began his career in the industry as a general labourer. During the ensuing years, his ability to grasp sheet metal concepts and manufacturing methods resulted in him being trained in the many varied disciplines that are required to produce precision sheet metal components. Glen acquired hands on working knowledge of shears, punch presses, brake presses, hardware insertion machines, finishing equipment, powder coating and plating procedures. His commitment to self improvement, which included various business management courses and obtaining a designation as a Certified Solid Works Professional, gave him the opportunity to apply his cumulative skills in an engineering and design role. In 2007 Glen was assigned design and engineering duties at Allied Metal Ltd. and continued in this role until early 2010 when he was appointed General Manager. During this time Glen managed all aspects of the business's operations, including quoting and costing procedures, purchasing, invoicing and finance. In January of 2018, Glen was appointed Managing Partner of Allied Metal Ltd.
Glen has built his career from the ground up, and it is with this drive and passion, that he will continue to move Allied Metal Ltd. forward as one of the premier sheet metal fabrication companies in Western Canada. His knowledge of sheet metal fabrication from hands on perspective, and his acquired design expertise, gives him the ability to arrive at the best possible customer solutions in regards to design, quality, and cost effectiveness.
Kevin Steinhauer has been involved in the Precision Sheet Metal Industry since 1992. He began his career in the industry as a Plasma Table operator and displayed an aptitude for the many processes involved with sheet metal manufacturing. He was subsequently trained in and garnered first hand working knowledge with shears, brake presses, roll forming, spinning, punch presses, hardware insertion machinery, welding procedures and finishing equipment. Kevin has also been involved in specialty automated machinery design and construction. In 2001 Kevin obtained a Certificate of Training with SMP/IS NC software and transitioned into NC programming for turret punches and CNC brake presses. In 2004 he was assigned shop foreman duties at Allied Metal Inc. which included the overseeing of shop employees, scheduling of work and purchasing. In March of 2010 Kevin was appointed Production Manager of Allied Metal Ltd. in recognition of his continued drive to move Allied Metal to the forefront of sheet metal fabrication in Western Canada.

Water Conservation Education
Downloadable Curriculum
Educational Materials & Websites
Water Conservation Workshops
Student Outreach
Since 1994, Redwood City Public Works has reached thousands of students through various water conservation outreach programs. Each year we sponsor: an annual water conservation poster contest, EarthCapades Environmental Act, WaterWise kits for schools, and much more.
Water Conservation Poster Contest
Our annual Water Conservation Poster Contest is a fun and dynamic way for kids to express their understanding of water conservation. It is the centerpiece of the School education program, designed to promote water conservation awareness among Redwood City students in kindergarten through 5th grade.
2019 Poster Contest Winners Announced!
The Water Conservation Poster Contest is designed to bring water conservation awareness to the children of Redwood City. Schools throughout the City participated in the contest, with approximately 1,000 submissions. With so many creative posters to choose from, it's difficult for our judges to choose the winners.
The objective of this year's theme, "EXPLORE THE RESERVOIR WITH H2O JOE'S WATER SAVING HEROES," is to teach our students where Redwood City's water comes from, that the supply is limited, and it must be shared among many in the Bay Area. Click here to view the winning posters.
We would like to extend our thanks to the schools, listed below, that participated. Without the support of the principals, teachers, and students, the program would not be possible.
|Clifford School
|Henry Ford School
|Hoover School
|North Star Academy
|Our Lady of Mount Carmel School
|Redwood Shores School
|Roosevelt School
|Roy Cloud School
|Saint Pius School
For more information about how your class can participate, contact the Water Conservation program at (650) 780-7436 or email email@example.com.

Long-term investment themes
Some themes are obvious. We expect that with an ageing population we will see a consequent increased demand for related spending, such as healthcare, but also discretionary consumer expenditure on leisure, such as cruises. Less obvious, however, is demand for financial advice as strategic pension planning becomes critical as we all spend much longer in retirement.
Other obvious themes can be found in the automotive industry. The transition from fossil fuelled transport to electric provides opportunities, but also the threats to incumbent vehicle manufacturers. The inclusion of artificially intelligent engineering and potentially self-driving, speed restricted vehicles threatens the performance car, but then opens up opportunity for the extensive hiring of cars for standard travelling, hence the ability of Uber to recently successfully float on the US stock exchange, despite being loss-making.
We should be wary when competing in a crowded marketplace
The latest successful round of financing for Tesla was based on a similar belief that they possess a product which will change all of our lives. However, this is where we must be careful, as those with a high profile today may not be the eventual winners. Twenty years ago, in May 1999, those old enough will remember the predictions of the internet revolution and the stratospheric valuations of dotcom businesses at the time. The last profitless flotation that promised to revolutionise discount retail was lastminute.com - an ironic title - and where are they today?
Actually, they are still going but competing in a crowded marketplace with the likes of Booking.com, Kayak, Trivago, Groupon and many others where low economic barriers to entry have competed away any first mover advantage they may have initially had.
At the same time, Yahoo was the internet search engine of choice with no hint of the future dominance of Google. The growth theme was the demand for internet search engines, so an open mind to the successful players was vital. This is the same today with electric cars. Battery charging technology defining range will be the key, with many combustion engine manufacturers pouring millions into development.
The same can be said of Purplebricks, which has shaken up the estate agency industry. Unfortunately, lots of secondary mover businesses have also set up, competing away the super-normal profits in the UK whilst Purplebricks were spending all that first mover profit on lossmaking overseas expansion. The CEO has gone, and investors are now regretting not selling when they had enjoyed a five-fold share price increase. The wonders of hindsight! Then there is the rise of Amazon and the demise of the high street – secular and irreversible trends.
The companies of today
Amongst the largest companies of today are Apple, Microsoft, Google, Netflix, Facebook and Amazon and we all know why. To illustrate their penetration into everyday life, I have used the first three of these in the preparation of this article.
Then there is the social media revolution involving Facebook and the like, with 'youtubing' now being an advertising career based upon followers and views, rather than paying subscribers, making millionaires out of teenagers. Additionally, we have witnessed the move into domestic TV-on-demand and box-set binging that we are all able to do, instead of making do with scheduled terrestrial TV. All of these are examples of technology-enabled consumer evolution and all have delivered investment opportunities and disturbed the incumbent status quo.
Looking to the future
Returning to the flotation of Uber, many have questioned how a loss-making business could attract a valuation of $82bn and have noted that the prospectus stated that the business may never make a profit. One clue is revealed by the fact that PayPal took a $500m stake. The key here is not what Uber achieves today, it is what it could become in the future with self-driving cars and a captive passenger who can be sold to whilst travelling. Investors, and PayPal, are obviously prepared to gamble on that future. If you have ever used Uber, you will be astounded at how convenient, quick and cheap it is. No need for cash, lots of availability and most convenient of all, they will pick you up from wherever you are. There are alternatives to Uber such as Lyft, but the former has first mover advantage and for the consumer, there are few downsides. And remember, Facebook was unprofitable when it floated with many sceptical commentators.
The same can be said of battery technology. The company that creates a rechargeable battery powerful enough that mobile phones will only need charging once a week, or enables electric cars to travel for as long as fossil fuelled cars, will be the largest company in the world. The same goes for artificial intelligence applications. Many of us will be familiar with the frustration of poor service from call-centres and being passed around a large organisation where no-one appears to be able to help or even want to. In time, artificial intelligence will provide this, but as we have seen tragically with Boeing, allowing the machine too much control can be catastrophic.
We wish we had the answers as to who will emerge victorious in each of these markets. Those that do will be the billionaires of the future. Observing all the security paranoia over Huawei at the moment, just imagine if China became the source of these inventions and not the US? In fact, electric car sales in China were twice that of the US in the year to the end of December 2018 (Source: Google, not Baidu, the Chinese equivalent). This is probably influenced by the availability of US oil reserves, population density and the US desire for gas-guzzling pick-ups. So, as Android enabled phones stop supplying US applications as part of the Huawei/trade negotiations, will China really care that much if they have their own alternative, with equivalent or better functionality?
Expanding outside the Western Economy
The US is feeling that its global dominance is under threat, having had it all its own way for so long. This is no bad thing and they should be the last to complain, being such advocates of free market competition and capitalism. However, that is probably only okay whilst they are the dominant player. We recall China quietly landing on the dark side of the moon in January, just after Trump had announced his planned space force for US domination. Observe how US Western allies, including the UK, are being careful not to aggressively join the anti-Huawei US assault, nor support the US aggression towards Iran. These are all potential allies of China (and Russia) and smaller nations need to be careful how they play their cards.
This influences investment as most equity portions of portfolios are significantly exposed to Western businesses. If the future technological revolution is going to come from the east, so much so that the West may subsequently be in decline, then we need to take heed. History is littered with the rise and fall of great empires.
Who will win the wealth of the future?
Clearly, the US is using any means at its disposal to protect its global monopoly on technological evolution and it has been accused by China of being a bully in the latest trade negotiations where intellectual property theft is a perceived stumbling block. We are all familiar with the demand from the east for our universities and fee-paying schools – this will be all part of the centrally controlled future strategy of the People's Republic of China. Regardless of your views on the political system, Western democracy is hardly covering itself in glory at the moment. Meanwhile, under the bonnet, there is a technological war going on which will define the winners and the wealth of the future. As investors, we need to keep a very close eye on this as the US plays hard ball with China. We have a second superpower in the making and the first is feeling threatened. The rise of the east is cause for concern, but also opportunity as we monitor asset allocation. Hopefully the power struggle will be peaceful but if we refer to history, that has been far from the case. Let's hope the human race has evolved somewhat so that we all benefit.

Sam's Club Credit Card Website
Sam's Club Credit Card Website has changed. It is now www.synchronycredit.com, and I'm getting an error message for that account on Mint. Mint still has the site listed as onlinecreditcenter6.com, and this is no longer correct. I tried to create a new account on Mint with the Synchrony Credit site, but I get the following error message: "There seems to be a problem linking your account." I'm happy to submit a support ticket, but I'm curious as to whether others are seeing this issue as well.
