Zimbabwe Air Marshal shot
Wednesday, December 17, 2008 The chief of the Zimbabwe Air Force has been shot in the arm in an apparent assassination attempt. Air Marshal Perence Shiri, 53, is recovering in a local hospital. Officials blame the incident on terrorists and political opponents. They also say that the assailant was trained in Botswana. “The attack on Air Marshal Shiri appears to be a build-up of terror attacks targeting high profile persons, government officials, government establishments and public transportation systems,” said Home Affairs Minister, Kembo Mohadi. Shiri is a strong ally of President Mugabe. Many believe that Shiri masterminded the intimidation campaign used against the Movement for Democratic Change supporters during the 2008 presidential elections.

University of Southern California spit test predicts cavities
Monday, February 21, 2005 Los Angeles, California —A simple saliva test can predict whether children will get cavities, how many cavities they will get and which teeth are most vulnerable. Developed by researchers at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, the test quantifies the genetic component of tooth decay, spotting the risk when something can be done about it. “When we apply this to young children, it allows us to predict what might be their future caries history—the number of cavities that they’ll get by, say, their late 20s or early 30s,” says researcher Paul Denny. Called the Caries Assessment and Risk Evaluation (CARE) test, the test measures the relative proportions in saliva of different types of sugar chains called oligosaccharides. The same sugar chains are present on tooth surfaces. The effect of sugar chains on teeth’s resistance to disease is analogous to the effect of “good” and…

The Fire Brigade says it needs turntable ladders, snorkels, foam-tenders, lighting units, emergency tenders, fireproof uniforms, and rescue ropes for fire fighting and rescue operations. Transportation to fires is also an issue due to narrow roads, low…

Ways To Keep Your Wooden Deck Tiles Looking New
Here’s An Opinion On: Decking Gold Coast Ways To Keep Your Wooden Deck Tiles Looking New by Joseph Mcglown There are many different ways people turn to for cleaning wood decking tile. It will often be a difficult process, but with the right details it can deliver results that will leave it looking shiny and new. Through the proper use of pressure washers, specific non-toxic cleaners and some elbow grease, this tedious process can turn out to be a huge success. Pressure washers clean wood deck tile faster as compared to what simple scrubbing does. They clear away almost all of the surface elements that damage the wood, providing a timely and effective cleaning experience. A major thing to consider though is to not have the power too high, as the pressure can certainly erode wood fibers and in some cases tear up some tiles. Haviing the right pressure though…
2012 Report on Gender Equality and Development says US women have room for progress
Friday, September 27, 2013 Tuesday, World Bank released the 2012 World Development Report on Gender Equality and Development. The United States is referred to many times, often as a benchmark to foster understanding of recent gains for women in other parts of the globe. At the same time, United States women still lag behind US men in a number of areas. In 2012, the authors note women in the United States still face challenges economically and socially. They are represented disproportionately in certain professions like teaching and nursing. They are paid less than their male counterparts. Jobs traditionally held by women also result in lower wages for men who hold these jobs. They are under-represented at the highest level of business, with only 28 of Fortune 1000 companies having a female chief executive officer. The bottom 20% of women economically have a slightly higher birth rate than their peers in…
