Genuine "Thanks" on Thanksgiving. France mourns a hero among heroes: Daniel Cordier, French Resistance hero, one of only two remaining "Compagnons de la Libération" -an honor awarded by exiled wartime leader, Charles de Gaulle- dies at 100.

After the death of Cordier, as of today, only one Compagnons de la Libération is still alive, Hubert Germain, out of the 1,038 distinguished by General de Gaulle for their commitment within Free France during the German Occupation. 

Upon his death, Germain will be buried in the crypt of Mont Valérien in the last empty vault.

Daniel Cordier, French Resistance hero, dies at 100

What a great beginning for this tale of valor and strength...

Age 19 and about to join the French army to fight the Nazi invaders, Daniel Cordier heard on the radio in June 1940 that France’s military head of state, Marshal Philippe Pétain, had capitulated to the Germans.

“I naively thought, as my parents did, that Pétain was going to launch France’s victorious counteroffensive,” Mr. Cordier recalled in a 2010 interview with the public radio channel France Culture. “Instead, he announced the end of the fighting, that is to say the end of hope. I burst into tears, went up to my room and sobbed.”

Then, muttering a choice epithet about Pétain, he regrouped.

2/ #DanielCordier was a man who, when #France was at its lowest depth, was up to the moment + tasks ahead, when others were not. He did not shirk his responsibility as a citizen and leave it to others to do what was necessary. He just did it. @RBrookhiser @LewisHowes

3/ “When #France was in danger, [#DanielCordier] and his compagnons took every risk so that France remained France. We owe them our freedom and our honour...”

-President Emmanuel Macron

Because "Fat is not going away..." No, it's not, which is why doctors and plastic surgeons from all over the world continue to make The Doctor's Toy Store their go-to source when they want to buy Liposuction devices, whether new or recent Vaser, Vibrasat, or PowerX models to give them the best possible results for their patients. @drstoystore

No, that's not actor John Cusack in his classic pose with a radio boombox from iconic 1980's film "Say Anything," it's Doctor's Toy Store President/CEO Rob Raymond on Wednesday afternoon, surrounded by just a representative sampling of the dozens of liposuction devices available now at his huge two-story medical showroom just off of I-95, THE largest medical showroom in Florida.  

Because "Fat is not going away..." 

No, it's not, which is why doctors and plastic surgeons from all over the world continue to make The Doctor's Toy Store their go-to source when they want to buy Liposuction devices, whether new or recent Vaser, Vibrasat, or PowerX models to give them the best possible results for their patients.

As 2020 nears its end, The Doctors Toy Store, with 20-plus years of experience in serving busy medical professional all over the world, as well as here in South Florida, offers an amazing array of top-tier products at DISCOUNT prices. And in the process, DTS produces another tangible dividend for its busy medical clients: the kind of peace of mind that you can't put a price on.

That comes from getting used to the reliability of the great selection and quality customer service that DTS offers them with the largest medical showroom in all of Florida. A showroom that's full of every medical tool and device a doctor or practice group could possibly ever think of -and then some.

That level of cutomer service also explains why at almost any time of the day, you'll find one of the dozen-plus DTS store trucks rolling thru the streets of South Florida on their way to deliver what DTS clients want at a price they liked, WHEN they needed it.  
And what's often in those trucks? Yes, Liposuction devices and wands and parts and...

DTS President/CEO Rob Raymond and his team continue to satisfy his very demanding, far-flung clients demand for medical equipment and new technologies with conscientious, top-quality customer service that constantly reminds them THEY are his number-one priority.

Today Rob and his team are focusing on medical devices that continue to be very popular with doctors everywhere and which have been big movers for Rob and his DTS team for years because of their greater efficiency and price: Assisted Liposuction devices.
Those wonders of technology are even more popular now in an era of lower medical reimbursements, when doctors everywhere are looking to create an alternative source of revenue.

So whether you are a doctor who needs to upgrade your current equipment or someone who is purchasing your first device because of the great results you've heard about, make plans now to visit the DTS website and come by their huge showroom in South Florida, and see for yourself what both experienced surgeons and newcomers to the industry are purchasing and getting great benefits from.

Perhaps the best quote in years to come from the ever-quotable Rob comes in this video below, which ws shot on Wednesday afternoon while I was on a visit to his huge two-story DTS showroom: "Fat is not going away..."

Doctor's Toy Store CEO/President Rob Raymond discusses some of the amazing products he has in abundance at Florida's largest medical showroom, like the Vaser Microaire PowerX that allow surgeons to work smarter, more efficiently, and with much-better results for their patient's goals.

As Rob says in the video, one of the chief advantages of using Vaser devices is that they not only allow surgeons to get in faster, but also allows for more highly stylized detailing/contouring/body sculpture, i.e. the "carving and etching" that so many patients want, with their dreams of six-pack abs.

Pictured below is just one of different Solta Sound Surgical Vaser models available today: the 2.0 High Definition Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction

Perhaps this is where I should casually mention that The Doctor's Toy Store remains the U.S.'s leading distributor for Power Assisted Liposuction devices!

DTS has three pages of detailed product and price information about the various liposuction devices it sells from the world's leading medical equipment manufacturers:

https://www.drstoystore.com/medical-equipment/liposuction-machines/page/2/

https://www.drstoystore.com/medical-equipment/liposuction-machines/page/3/

 

Doctor's Toy Store attracts doctors and medical practice groups from all over the U.S. and all four points of the compass because DTS owner and CEO Rob Raymond and his friendly and experienced staff combine their deep knowledge and history of the equipment they have at their huge showroom off I-95, with DISCOUNT prices.

Specializing in new, pre-owned and repair of medical equipment, Doctor's Toy Store has achieved its level of success precisely because it consistently puts its medical professional clients first, whether you are a longtime client with demanding patients, or are just starting your practice somewhere around the world or the USA.
Regardless of what type of medical equipment you are looking for or whether you have a personal preference for one brand over another, YOUR unique needs can and will be successfully met at DTS.

And just a reminder, doctors, DTS does take in your trade-ins!

So, whether you are arriving at Doctor's Toy Store via the Pembroke Road entrance on S.W. 30th Avenue to the north, Exit 19 on I-95, just east of the CSX Railroad tracks,

or from Hallandale Beach Blvd., Exit 18 on I-95 to the south.

Another short reminder why I'm endorsing civic activist Maggie Ivanovski and encouraging you to vote for her for the Hallandale Beach City Commission, Seat 4.

Over a few visits to the Hallandale Beach Cultural Center last week where Early Voting was taking place, I saw for myself that the level of discord, animosity + PERSONAL THREATS was FAR WORSE than anything I've seen there in 15 years of being there for several hours a day.

Which supported all the things that i was hearing from people via emails and phone calls, that, to be fair, were anecdotal.

But when everyone keeps saying the samer thing, almost verbatim, maybe it's what's really happening, no?

Unfortunately, what I saw on the ground last week only confirmed what I'd been hearing -very egregious boarish behavior was the norm once you got anywhere near the HB Cultural Center parking lot or the one nearby at the closed Broward County Library, and the antagonists, well, again, no surprise.

Supporters of Joy Cooper, Annabelle Lima-Taub, and her her bellicose and boarish puppet, Dmitriy Yakubovich. He's got HUGE sense of entitlement!

Yakubovich has been an INVISIBLE presence in Hallandale Beach public policy at HB City Hall or in the larger community since he has been here, but it's very clear that he aims to use being President of one of the 3 BeachClub condo towers on beach to his advantage. 

My nickname for him after reading his material, what's been written abioyt him by others and then seeing him prowl the road between the Library and Cultural Center is Boris BadEnough, since his bellicose, loud-mouthed threats at Early Voting were both clownish yet VERY off-putting.

To be honest, I put all the early negative comments I heard by people I respect in Hallandale Beach re Yakubovich's bellicosity and preening sense of entitlement as, well, smoke. 

But then I saw him in action twice last week.

It's fair to say that when it comes to him, where there's smoke, there's a real fire.

When people said Yakubovich acted like a Russian bully, I thought maybe he was just... headstrong. Nope! 

Late Saturday afternoon I was near enough to Yakubovich to hear him 'joking' with some of his friends and supporters and some name personalities that because he had the support of the Hallandale Beach Police, i.e. their union, he would have people who disagreed with him or who called him a liar arrested. 

Honestly, who would be dumb enough to say that ALOUD in public?

And would you vote for them?

It takes all kinds, but Yakubovich is clearly someone who would not be the sort of positive change agent that HB City Hall desperately needs right now.

In the Group 3 Hallandale Beach City Commission race, you don't need to choose between the lesser of two evils... you can vote for the candidate with the experience of being a common sense, pro-citizen advocate at Hallandale Beach for longer than all of her opponents combined: Maggie Ivanovski.

Or, as I wrote last week:
