Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

The irony of buying a phone case to protect a phone, where the case is enclosed in so much plastic to protect it, you need and angle grinder to get it out.

Whether it's laundering the reputation of an evil butcher, bribery and corruption in Africa or ethnically cleansing Gaza, Boston Consulting Group is your go-to firm, writes Bernard Keane.
US firm adds consulting on Gaza ethnic cleansing to its sordid history — while pocketing $99m from taxpayers
Global consulting firm BCG provided modelling for a plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza. But it insists it was just a couple of rotten apples — just like its previous scandals.

I tried to tell Tilley that she had something stuck in her beak, but she ignored me. In hindsight, it's probably because she doesn't speak English rather than her being rude.

OK. Can we agree on a global rule: you walk on the same side of the path as you drive. Same for inside shops, shopping centres, etc. So if you drive on the right side, walk on the right. Drive on the left side, walk on the left. This is the global issue that needs addressing.
