Researchers at the University of New Mexico found that oxalic acid present in foods like spinach, nuts, and chocolate can react with gadolinium, a metal used in MRI contrast dyes, to form harmful nanoparticles. These particles may leak into organs, potentially causing rare but serious health issues like fibrosis or organ damage. The study suggests that a person’s diet might influence their reaction to MRI scans. Doctors may one day advise patients to avoid certain foods or supplements before undergoing a contrast-enhanced MRI.

😏 The map shows Africa is much larger than Russia, despite maps often making Russia look bigger due to the Mercator projection's distortion. Africa's land area is 30.37 million sq km, while Russia's is 17.1 million sq km. The 7400 km north-south span of Africa dwarfs Russia's 5900 km east-west span. This corrects the misconception that Russia is larger. Fun fact: Africa could fit Europe, the US, China, India, Japan, and Mexico inside it!

Effective April 9, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) "will enforce all relevant immigration laws to the maximum degree, to protect the homeland from extremists and terrorist aliens, "including support for groups like "#Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, #Hezbollah, and Ansar Allah," in immigration decisions. "This will immediately affect aliens applying for lawful permanent resident status, foreign students, and aliens affiliated with educational institutions linked to antisemitic activity," the statement added.

The judge sided with the #Trump administration’s argument that a memo from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, claiming that Khalil’s “current or expected beliefs, statements or associations” contradicted US foreign policy, was enough to justify his removal from the country. The memo, which was undated and offered no allegations of criminal activity, served as the primary evidence presented by the government. Lawyers for Khalil condemned the ruling, saying it appeared pre-determined. “Today, we saw our worst fears play out: Mahmoud was subject to a charade of due process, a flagrant violation of his right to a fair hearing, and a weaponization of immigration law to suppress dissent,” said Marc van der Hout,...

Alleged $968,000 Fraud: How Fake US Engineer Duped Me-Witness The trial of Wawe Eseoghene Nelson, a.k.a James Andrew Shmit and Philip Bradley before Justice Aliyu Halilu of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja commenced on Thursday, March 14, 2025 with the presentation of the First Prosecution Witness, PW1, Kathleen Sharp by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. Nelson, arraigned on February 11, 2025 is facing prosecution by the EFCC on 11 count-charges bordering on advance fee fraud, impersonation, conspiracy and obtaining under false pretence to the tune of $968,000 (Nine Hundred and Sixty-eight Thousand Dollars), allegedly obtained from two US victims, Sharp and Holly Stamm. Count one of his charge reads: “That you, Wawe Esoghene Nelson (a.k.a James Andrew Smith) sometime in 2023 at Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of One Hundred and Fifty-Five Thousand Dollars ($155,000) from one Kathleen Sharp, living in the United States of America with Telephone Number +13025983826 through Chase Bank with account name Pearl and Allison Llc, account number 952177670, Routing 021000021, account address 35 Knollwood Dr Aptos CA 95003 with bank address at 1990 41st Avenue, Capitola, CA 95010 under the false pretence that you are James Andrew Smith, a Petroleum Engineer from United States of America that is into engineering project, relating to petroleum project which pretence you knew was false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1) (a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act.” Count 11 reads: “That you Wawe Esoghene Nelson (a.k.a Philip Bradley) sometime in 2022 at Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honourable court with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Dollars ($120,000.00) from one Holly Stamm, a Citizen of United States of America with email address stammus2012@gmail.com through Bitcoin and under the false pretence that you are James Andrew Shmit a Petroleum Engineer from United States of America that is into engineering project relating to petroleum exploration and that the said sum will be used to secure a petroleum project which pretence you knew was false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1) (a)of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act.” He pleaded not guilty to all the charges when they were read to him, prompting his trial. Led in evidence by prosecuting counsel, Maryam Aminu Ahmed, the witness narrated how the defendant lured her via the social media into sending him money in the guise of financing a project and would repay her when the project yielded dividends upon completion. “I was contacted by the Commission that they discovered that I was defrauded by one James Andrew Shmit via social media platform. We communicated over social media where he presented himself as an engineer working at BP Oil in the Gulf of Mexico. He started by asking for funds because he did not have access to his personal funds and the credit situation in connection with the project required a large amount of funds with the promise that it will be returned and he will avail the funds to me. The total funds are $183,000 (One Hundred and Eighty-three Thousand Dollars) through three instalments, one by wired certificate cheque, two instalments by wired transfer. The first one was for $45,500, (Forty-five Thousand Dollars), the second one was $131,000 (One Hundred and Thirty-one Dollars) and the third was $7000 (Seven Thousand Dollars) I wired. I have not been paid my money. After the third instalment, he pushed me to pay another $10,000 (Ten Thousand Dollars), but I did not pay. There was a picture on his profile, he has brown hair and white. I will like the refund of the investment and funds and he should be persecuted for his actions,” she said. Justice Halilu adjourned to April 16, 2025 for cross examination of the witness. Visit efcc.gov.ng for more stories.
