...good books and gain advantages for his company, and had also brokered a bribe between Zuma and a French arms-trading company. Squires said there was "overwhelming" evidence of a corrupt relationship between Shaik and Zuma. His sentencing is expected soon. Zuma was not on trial and did not appear as a witness; he says an earlier investigation showed he has no case to answer. It's unclear whether authorities will yet charge him with wrongdoing. In any case, Zuma's downfall has hurt his chances of becoming the next President. Squires said in his ruling that Zuma...
...expected to decide the issue. Meanwhile, a recently declassified letter to military authorities obtained by TIME raises a new question about the tribunals.

The Thracian artifacts were first brought together at Sofia's National Archaeological Museum, but this week they move to a local museum in Kazanlak before heading off to Japan to appear at the World Expo in mid-June. Beautiful and intimidating, these objects bring the legends of a rich and powerful kingdom to life. "We always knew that the Thracians had great wealth from references in ancient texts," says James Sickinger, a professor at the American School of Classical Studies...
...concluded something similar. The patients who visit his clinic have an average BMI of 37--moderately to severely obese. Yet only about 30% of them have hypertension, and only 20% have diabetes. While he doesn't speculate about what's behind the low diabetes numbers, physical activity does appear to play a major role in keeping blood pressure in check.
