At least 10 people and livestock affected by anthrax outbreak in Mundobelwa sub-location, Khwisero; Health Ministry official urges residents to exercise caution.

Jianghao Huo, a 29-year-old Tsinghua University graduate and former robotics team leader, is leading Dreame Technology’s efforts to automate household chores. The company aims to develop AI-powered robots capable of cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, and managing everyday household tasks.

Huo joined Dreame around six years ago, choosing the startup over major technology companies. She previously helped develop robotic vacuum cleaners and now leads projects focused on robots that can understand their surroundings and perform complex physical tasks.

At a technology exhibition in Berlin, Dreame introduced experimental robots designed to sort clothes, operate washing machines, organize rooms, and move household items. The company also plans to introduce a two-armed robot in 2027 that could clear tables and operate kitchen appliances.

However, handling delicate objects and adapting to unpredictable home environments remain major challenges. Huo estimates that widespread adoption of advanced household robots is still more than two to three years away, with the ultimate goal of giving people more free time by eliminating routine chores.

🍒 Elon Musk reckons your dog might be able to talk back to you in just a couple of years 🐶

The Tesla boss has suggested Neuralink could eventually let humans communicate with animals, putting a rough 2028 date on it.

There's no detail yet on how that would actually work, and Musk's timelines have a habit of slipping, so we'd take this one with a big pinch of salt 🧂

Still, the idea of finally finding out what your cat really thinks of you is equal parts exciting and terrifying 😅

Walking activates your muscles, which release signaling molecules called myokines that help regulate inflammation and metabolism. Regular walking also supports heart health, improves insulin sensitivity, and helps your body manage weight over time.

You will not access your favourite alcoholic drink in a supermarket and many public places if Parliament passes a new Bill that also seeks to raise the drinking age from the current 18 to 21 years.

The Alcoholic Drinks and Drugs Control Laws (Amendment) Bill 2026, which seeks to amend the Alcoholic Drinks Control Act (Cap 121), sets tough conditions to manufacturers, sellers and consumers of alcoholic drinks.

The government Bill, sponsored by Majority Leader in the National Assembly Kimani Ichung’wah, is the latest in a series of moves to confront the illicit alcohol and drinking problem across the country.

The World Bank says corruption concerns and misuse of public funds have been documented in several Kenyan projects and sectors.

They include:

— New stadium construction
— New health insurance system, involving fictitious entities
— SGR construction
— Pipeline projects
— Dam projects
— Road construction
— Education construction projects
— Public water utilities
— Power utilities
— County government projects

Koalas sleep for around 18 to 20 hours every day, making them some of the sleepiest mammals on Earth.

This unusual lifestyle is mainly linked to their diet. Eucalyptus leaves contain very little energy, are difficult to digest, and contain compounds that are toxic to most other animals.

Koalas have evolved a specialised digestive system to process these leaves, but extracting enough nutrients takes considerable time and energy.

When they are awake, they spend much of their time feeding, grooming, moving between trees, and interacting with other koalas.

They are mostly solitary animals and usually come together during the breeding season.

Male koalas become more active during this period, travelling between trees and searching for females.

They also produce remarkably deep, loud bellows that can travel hundreds of metres through the forest. These calls help attract females and warn rival males.

HISTORIC! In a significant economic milestone, Ethiopia has officially reclaimed its position as East Africa’s largest economy following a comprehensive rebasing of its national accounts.

The Ethiopian government announced a rebased Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of $210.7 billion (approximately 31.86 trillion birr) for the 2025/26 fiscal year. This revised figure places Ethiopia well ahead of Kenya’s nominal GDP of $151.15 billion.

The rebasing exercise, which updated the base year to better capture emerging sectors such as the digital economy, modern trade, manufacturing, and mining, boosted the measured size of Ethiopia’s economy by nearly 60% compared to previous estimates. The new data also elevates Ethiopia to Africa’s fifth-largest economy, behind South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, and Algeria.

Finance officials described the revision as a reflection of structural changes in the economy and an exercise in statistical sovereignty aligned with international standards. The updated figures improve key ratios, including lower debt-to-GDP and tax-to-GDP metrics on paper, while providing a more accurate picture for policymakers, investors, and development partners.

This development reverses Kenya’s recent brief lead in the regional ranking and underscores Ethiopia’s continued economic scale and potential in East Africa.

Further details and analysis to follow.

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones gradually lose density and structural strength, becoming more fragile and vulnerable to fractures. It often develops silently, without noticeable symptoms or pain, for many years.
As bone tissue breaks down faster than it is replaced, the internal structure becomes increasingly porous.

A fracture may occur even after a minor fall or, in severe cases, during everyday activities. The hips, spine and wrists are among the most commonly affected areas.

The first warning sign may be a fracture - making early detection and bone-density assessment important, particularly with increasing age.

Human cells appeared younger in less than a week, without changing their DNA. Harvard researchers found a way to reverse signs of cellular aging using chemicals alone.
A research team led by David Sinclair at Harvard Medical School identified six chemical cocktails that restored youthful gene activity patterns in aging human cells. The treatments also improved changes in how genetic material moves between the nucleus and the rest of the cell.
Previously, reversing cellular aging relied on genetic reprogramming, which involves introducing specific genes into cells. The new approach achieved similar signs of rejuvenation using chemical compounds instead, without causing the cells to lose their original identity.
The findings were published in the journal Aging on July 12, 2023.
The discovery could open a new path toward treatments for age-related diseases and cellular repair.

The story comes from Mansa Musa, the famous king of Mali, during his pilgrimage to Mecca in 1324. He told an Egyptian official that his predecessor had refused to believe the Atlantic Ocean had no end. The king outfitted 200 ships, filled them with men, gold, water, and provisions, and ordered the captain not to return until he reached the far shore.

Only one ship came back. The captain reported a violent current in the open sea—a "river" within the ocean—that swallowed the rest of the fleet. The king did not believe him. He prepared 2,000 more ships, took 1,000 for himself and his men, and loaded the other 1,000 with supplies. He handed the throne to Musa and sailed west. No one ever saw him again.

That is the historical core, recorded by the Arab historian al-Umari. The rest is a story that refuses to die: that Abubakari II crossed the Atlantic and landed on the coast of Brazil, near modern Recife. Some researchers point to Columbus's own writings, where he reported finding Black traders already present in the Americas, and to gold-tipped spears that chemical analysis suggests came from West Africa.

The claim that he "never claimed to discover America because he knew it was already there" is not a historical quote. It is a modern philosophical framing. But it captures something true about the voyage: if Abubakari reached the Americas, he did not arrive in an empty land. He arrived in a world that already had its own people, its own cities, and its own history.

Does a story like this mean more as history, or as a reminder that "discovery" was never the right word?
