There were at least three documented attacks on Ebola clinics in the eastern Ituri province, the epicenter of the Ebola Bundibugyo outbreak, and in each case some patients fled during the chaos and did not return.

It’s…
The 95-minute action-fantasy movie Hell Grind cost $500,000 to produce in 15 weeks and screened in Cannes. Please note the use of the term “in Cannes” and not “at Cannes.” Hell Grind did not screen at the Cannes Film Festival. Rather, it screened in the city of Cannes during the festival. Either way, it is practically guaranteed that in the decades to come, Hell Grind will have more impact on the future of movies, entertainment, and culture than all the tedious, gay romance titles that screened at Cannes this year.

The author of a major report on child rape grooming gangs in England has warned that many are still in denial about the role that ethnicity and religion play in the ongoing mass sexual exploitation of mostly young white working-class girls by predominantly Pakistani Muslim men.
