The British Airports Authority (BAA) says it will now carry out an audit of recently employed staff at Heathrow to ensure all relevant reference and background checks have been completed. Mr Rice said he hid knives and blades in his work boots but security staff assumed his steel toe-caps were triggering metal-detector alarms. |

Frontiers at The Bank Of Zambia (Aug 13 2003 04:07 GMT) - While the Bank of Zambia (BoZ) announced it was starting a forum for new frontiers in economic and financial management, it basically gave the impression that their economic and financial reforms have reached an intellectual and mental deadlock. In other words a new BoZ, and a new Ministry of Finance and National Planning (MFNP) may be needed with a new staff with new brains in this new deal administration, to create a new economy. Yet changing the BoZ or MFNP will not change the current form and shape of the Zambian economy. The Zambian domestic economy appears to be shrinking the further it goes with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reform program. The same phenomenon was noticed by Greek philosophers in that the longer something became, the shorter it also became and the shorter it became, the longer it got. |

Expert opinion has it that the English general practitioner poisoned some 400 of his patients, nearly all of them middle-aged women. His motives are unclear but may have had something to do with the fact that Shipman's own mother died prematurely (of cancer) when he was at a young and impressionable age. |
