DETROIT — Republican members of a key Michigan elections board refused on Tuesday to certify Detroit’s election results in a nakedly partisan effort to hold up Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s victory over President Trump — only to reverse themselves after an outcry from the city’s voters and state officials. The initial deadlock and pressure-packed turnaround capped a chaotic day of repeated Republican misfires in the party’s attempt to undermine the election results. Republicans lost a case before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and faced a skeptical reception in a separate hearing in federal court in Pennsylvania, and an audit in Georgia confirmed there was no foul play with voting machines. The Republican gambit in Detroit was among the starkest examples of how previously routine aspects of the nation’s voting system have been tainted by Mr. Trump’s effort to challenge his defeat, and he appeared to revel in the night’s chaos with celebratory tweets attacking Detroit even after the deadlock en...

Two drugmakers, Pfizer and Moderna, have announced promising interim results for their vaccine candidates, raising hopes in the U.S. and abroad that the end of the pandemic may be in sight. But, if and when the vaccines are authorized by the Food and Drug Administration, distributing them presents a daunting challenge. One big reason? One of the front-runners in the vaccine race — the one made by Pfizer — needs to be kept extremely cold: minus 70 degrees Celsius, which is colder than winter in Antarctica . Moderna has said that its vaccine needs to be frozen too, but only at minus 20 Celsius , more like a regular freezer. Since there will be limited vaccine doses at first, immunization managers across the country will need to have plans to distribute any and all vaccine doses that are available. For months, they've been puzzling over the particular challenges presented by the Pfizer vaccine, which requires these ultra-cold conditions. "I believe it can be done," says De...

Scientists at Cardiff University found there were "promising signs" that over-the-counter mouthwashes may help to destroy the virus. The report  comes ahead of a clinical trial on Covid-19 on patients at the University Hospital of Wales. Dr Nick Claydon said the study could lead to mouthwash becoming an important part of people's routines. While the research suggests use of mouthwash may help kill the virus in saliva, there is not evidence it could be used as a treatment for coronavirus, as it will not reach the the respiratory tract or the lungs. Dr Claydon, a specialist periodontologist, said: "If these positive results are reflected in Cardiff University's clinical trial, CPC-based mouthwashes... could become an important addition to people's routine, together with hand washing, physical distancing and wearing masks, both now and in the future." The university report states that mouthwashes containing at least 0.07% cetypyridinium chloride (CPC) showe...

The meaning of an hustler in kenya still remain controversial. Their are those who believe an hustler is someone who  toil day in day out to get his or daily bread meaning it is a synonym to poverty, others believe  hustler is an acronym for an entrepreneur,however their those who believe an hustler is an individual who is determined to use any moral or immoral methods to rise to the top of the pyramid.

This strategy even though may assist a ...
