Remember when Barbie said “Math class is tough” and she was yanked from the toy shelf? It turns out she was right: Only those who learned their multiplication tables by rote in class feel confident with mental arithmetic WOMEN may most often be the ones holding the domestic purse-strings, but according to a new survey…

Oh.my.heck! The police on February 18 seized four kg of low-grade uranium and arrested six persons in Supaul district along the Indo-Nepal border.
