Therefore, it is essential for the drivers to know how to use full beam light without causing inconvenience to other road users.   a) Use full beam lights when there's insufficient street lighting and it is difficult to see the way. b) Do not use full beam lights in a built-up area (say, residential area, commercial area) where there is good street lighting. c) do not use full beam lights when stoppe...

WhatsApp has released security updates to address two flaws in its messaging app for Android and iOS that could lead to remote code execution on vulnerable devices. One of them concerns CVE-2022-36934 (CVSS score: 9.8), a critical integer overflow vulnerability in WhatsApp that results in the execution of arbitrary code simply by establishing a video call. The issue impacts the WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business for Android and iOS prior to versions 2.22.16.12. Also patched by the Meta-owned messaging platform is an integer underflow bug, which refers to an opposite category of errors that occur when the result of an operation is too small for storing the value within the allocated memory space. The high-severity issue, given the CVE identifier CVE-2022-27492 (CVSS score: 7.8), affects WhatsApp for Android prior to versions 2.22.16.2 and WhatsApp for iOS version 2.22.15.9, and could be triggered upon receiving a specially crafted video file.

defensive driving is a form of training for motor vehicle drivers that goes beyond mastery of the rules of the road and the basic mechanics of driving. Its aim is to reduce the risk of collision by anticipating dangerous situations, despite adverse conditions or the mistakes of others. Avoid accidents by correcting problems that may become dangerous. Consider these top ten defensive driving tips.  Defensive Driving Tip #1: Eliminate Distractions Scientists have studied the reasons behind the large number of car accidents that occur every year, and the most common cause is that the driver has been distracted.

495 MPs voted, 55 NUP MPs alleged to have boycotted the voting and the total number of MPs in the Eleventh Parliament are 529. 495 + 55 = 550. 550 - 529 = 21. Going by the mathematics, it points to possible vote rigging. Leave aside the mathematics and use your philosophical logic and reasoning. How sure are we that, all the 55 NUP MPs boycotted the voting ?. How also sure are we that, UPDF MPs (10), FDC MPs (32) and DP MPs (9) all turned up 100% to vote in the 29-9-2022 EALA elections ?. I see the whole thing is wasting our time to be debated. Disclaimer; I am not defending any political party or any institution here. Congratulations to the 9 Candidates who emerged winners to represent us Ugandans in the East African Legislative Assembly  (EALA). #osutayusuf

There is both pity and scorn on Uganda’s Twitter timeline presented by a scenario in which a tweep in Arua ordered an iPhone online from Kampala, only for it to blink more than disco lights. It all started when Paulyne Tracy Nalukwago, a make-up artiste and beautician in Arua City raised an alarm to former Police Commissar Asan Kasingye, seeking intervention in the arrest of a phone dealer who sold her an iPhone she may never use. According to Nalukwago’s receipts, she forked out Shs 1,000,000 for the iPhone 11, but it turned out to be iPhone air. She says that the iPhone blacks out every minute, which has frustrated her psychological windows. “Afande @AKasingye please help me I did an online purchase through my delivery guy in Kampala am in Arua working but the iPhone is fake it blacks out every min right now guy has blocked me every where how can I get justice for my 1m am so frustrated 😭😭😭😭help me retweet guys,” Nalukwago tweeted with proof of receipts.

The Maracha County MP who is also Chairperson of Uganda Parliamentary Network on Ilicit Financial Flows and Tax Justice Hon. OGUZU LEE has appealed to Africans to stop Africa's resource leakage. He made the appeal in Lusaka Zambia while addressing legilators drawn from African continent and constituted into African Parliamentary Network of Ilicit Financial Flows and Taxation.  Each year each year Africa loses $ 50bn to IFFs according report by High Level Panel commission led by former Mr. Thabo Mbeki, former South African president.

Zimbabwean self-proclaimed prophet Talent Madungwe has declared that Queen Elizabeth II qualified for heaven. The divisive clergyman claimed that the 96-year-old British monarch is now in heaven. Madungwe is no stranger to controversy and is well-known for making outrageous claims. He is well-known for claiming that he has visited heaven several times. When a famous person dies, Prophet Madungwe always makes a point of addressing whether or not that person went to heaven. Prophet Madungwe insisted that Queen Elizabeth was worthy of heaven while dismissing social media claims that the late monarch was on her way to hell. Queen Elizabeth II. [Image: Andrew Milligan/Pool/Getty] In a post on Monday, in which he took aim at a fake account that was impersonating him, the Zimbabwean Prophet said, I said the Queen qualified for heaven, not what these fake accounts are saying like Queen is beaten by black people in heaven, thus fake account. The fake account had claimed, “Princess Diana has bee...
