VOCO Profluorid Varnish SingleDose – The 2nd most innovative product in the USA

VOCO Profluorid Varnish SingleDose, the new fluoride-containing varnish for tooth desensitisation, has been declared as one of the top products of 2009 by the US magazine “Dental Products Report”. The deciding factor here was how often a particular innovative product was placed on the cover based on surgery recommendations and/or given the rating “Editor’s Choice”. The products that are distinguished as such, by the DPR editorial staff for instance, permit efficient use in the dental surgery and simul-taneously provide a clearly recognizable benefit in the improvement of patient care. VOCO Profluorid Varnish SingleDose particularly impressed the DPR editorial staff with the equally con-venient and especially hygienic disposable blister. The blister allows the varnish to be applied to moist surfaces in only seconds. The tooth-shaded varnish features a sodium fluoride content of 5% and is ideally suited for the treatment of hypersensitive teeth, sealing dentine tubules during cavity preparation or sensitive root surfaces as well as for the treatment of cervical areas after professional cleaning and scaling of calculus. VOCO Profluorid Varnish has a pleasant, fruity taste and does not contain saccharin, aspartame or gluten. The varnish is available in 0.25 ml and 0.4 ml SingleDose blisters and thus por-tioned in the optimal quantity for the treatment of both adults and children. Since VOCO Profluorid Var-nish is applied in a thin layer, every application is quite profitable. The magazine “Dental Products Report” is also present on the internet and it ranks as one of the leading independent information sources for American dentists for the clinical use of new products, devices and technologies.

Ethiopian Gebrselassie wins Dubai Marathon

The world record time of 2:03:59 that Gebselassie set in Berlin on September 28, 2008 remains unshattered.

Dubai: Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia won the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon for the third time in sucession.

The world record time of  2:03:59 he set at the 2008 Berlin Marathon remains unshattered.

The 36-year-old Ethiopian finished Friday’s 42.2-kilometer (26-mile) race in two hours, six minutes and nine seconds.

“I did not feel good when I started off today. I was having a bit pain in the back but still feel nice that I won this race again,” remarked Gebrselassie after the race.

Chala Dechase Beyene of Ethiopia finished second.

It was one of the hottest races in the history of marathon with some of the finest runners in the game from around the world arriving here for the run.

At a time when the world is reeling from economic recession, Dubai marathon continues to be the richest marathon in the world.

Hedge funds look east as regulation bites

A number of funds of hedge funds are also planning offices in the Asian cities, Dan McNicholas, head of Asia financing sales at Merrill Lynch said. McNicholas spoke in a Bloomberg Television interview without mentioning any names.

New York: Bank of America Merrill Lynch is helping more than a dozen multibillion dollar international hedge funds set up or reestablish a presence in Hong Kong and Singapore as the US and Europe increase industry regulation.

A number of funds of hedge funds are also planning offices in the Asian cities, Dan McNicholas, head of Asia financing sales at Merrill Lynch said. McNicholas spoke in a Bloomberg Television interview without mentioning any names.

Hedge fund managers have been tempted by Hong Kong’s regulatory environment, the region’s economic growth and potential investment opportunities as US and Europe have proposed to increase taxes on the financial industry. London Mayor Boris Johnson said that as many as 9,000 bankers may leave the UK capital’s financial district as a result of a 50 per cent tax on bonuses announced last month.

“When you compare to New York or London, the business environment has been very friendly for managers,” McNicholas said. In New York and London “you are seeing tax proposed and other restrictions on business that may make Hong Kong and Singapore attractive”.

Asia is also expected to absorb a larger proportion of global hedge fund inflows than it historically received as funds need to correct their under-allocations to the region, he said. More than 15 per cent of the $50 billion (Dh183.5 billion) to $100 billion of hedge fund inflows expected in the first quarter may go to Asia, McNicholas said.

The UK last month imposed a 50 per cent tax on banks for bonuses of more than £25,000. It is also raising taxes on residents earning more than £150,000 a year to 50 per cent from 40 per cent.

Bashar Al Assad arrives in Riyadh for summit talks

By Abdul Rahman Shaheen, Correspondent

Riyadh: Syrian President Bashar Al Assad will arrive here on Wednesday on a landmark official visit — a further sign of the thaw in relations between the two key Arab states.

The visit would follow Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al Faisal’s visit to Damascus last week.

The Egyptian-brokered reconciliation agreement between the leading Palestinian factions of Hamas and Fatah, Iranian nuclear dossier and the situation in Lebanon would figure high in the talks.

“During the Saudi-Syrian summit talks, the leaders will discuss ways to further strengthen bilateral relations and cooperation in various fields, in addition to the regional and international issues of mutual concern,” the official Saudi Press Agency reported.

Framework

Syrian ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Mahdi Dakhlallah, said that Al Assad’s visit comes in the framework of hectic political activities in the Arab world to revive the peace process as well as to work out a united Arab position toward the hostile Israeli acts.

The two leaders will review the latest situation on the Arab and regional arenas, especially the recent armed infiltration of Al Houthi rebels along the Kingdom’s southern border with Yemen, and the Iranian nuclear programme that poses a threat to the Gulf and Arab region, he said.

Dubai’s “superscraper” makes history in hard times

Started at the height of the economic boom and built by some 12,000 labourers, the world’s tallest building will open on Monday in Dubai as the glitzy emirate seeks to rekindle optimism after its financial crisis.

Burj Dubai, whose opening has been delayed twice since construction began in 2004, will mark another milestone for the deeply indebted emirate with a penchant for seeking new records.

Dubai, one of seven members of the United Arab Emirates, gained a reputation for excess with the creation of man-made islands shaped like palms and an indoor ski slope in the desert.

With investor confidence in Dubai badly bruised by the emirate’s announcement in November that it would seek a debt standstill for one of its largest conglomerates, the Burj Dubai is seen as a positive start to the year after a bleak 2009.

The project has been scrutinised by human rights groups, who have objected to its treatment of labourers, as well as by environmentalists who said the tower would act as a power vacuum, increasing the city’s already massive carbon footprint.

But despite the criticism, many say the edifice, believed to have cost $1.5 billion to build, is an architectural marvel.

The tower’s height has been kept a closely guarded secret until now. Developer Emaar Properties PJSC will reveal the height — known to exceed 800 metres (2,625 feet) — on Tuesday and Dubai’s ruler will inaugurate the opening.

Experts believe Dubai’s recent financial troubles have not hurt sales of approximately 1,100 residential units in the Burj — meaning tower in Arabic — saying they were nearly all sold.

Dubai’s real estate sector crashed at the end of 2008 when the global financial crisis hit the emirate after a six-year economic boom. Thousands of jobs were slashed and projects worth billions of dollars were cancelled or delayed.

With analysts suggesting tax-free Dubai might sell some of its assets to boost revenues and slash $80 billion in debt, many wondered if the tower was on the list for grabs.

Dubai, with few natural resources of its own, expects a budget deficit of 2 percent of GDP this year. [ID:nLDE5BU07K]

In December, the emirate received a $10 billion lifeline from neighbouring Abu Dhabi to repay a $4.1 billion bond for Nakheel, a property arm of indebted Dubai World [DBWLD.UL], and other obligations.
