‘Beheaded babies’ report spreads wide and fast, but Israel military won’t confirm it
Attempting to even measure the volume of viral falsehoods currently spreading throughout X has become difficult, if not impossible, due to changes implemented under the new ownership of Musk. “It’s very difficult for academic research teams to gauge the volume question on X at this point because many, including us, no longer have API access,” said DiResta, of the Stanford Internet Observatory.

US boosts Middle East firepower as Americans and Israelis discuss President Biden Tel Aviv visit

How Vandals of Uganda captured state, created a slave society where investors trample on workers
It is not surprising that recent scientifically-backed assertions have put the number of mentally deranged Ugandans at 14 million out of a population of 45 million. If one was not reserved in use of words, one would say that this deplorable situation reflects poor governance of the country. A country is its people and resources.

In this case the people and their communities are taken as roadblocks to progress.

How President Museveni’s Rwandan Tutsi origins power apartheid-style governance in Uganda
Segregation in education began to take root as soon as President Tibuhaburwa Museveni enforced Universal Primary Education (UPE) in 1997, followed by Universal Secondary Education (USE), without corresponding efficient equipping of the schools with necessary materials, or just salaries for teachers. Teachers have to engage in multiple types of work to make ends meet. Both UPE and USE are very poorly funded.
Doctors now doubt accuracy of BMI as prime indicator of obesity and healthy living
In 1972, American physiologist Ancel Keys examined several height-weight indices and found that Quetelet’s was the best predictor of the thickness of body fat. He renamed it the body-mass index and proposed that it was a better indicator of healthy body size than were the height-weight tables commonly used at the time.
