The largest refugee camp in the world, Dadaab in Kenya, 25 years old
While the International Court of Justice in The Hague takes up a dispute between Kenya and Somalia over maritime oil and gas reserves this week, Human Rights Watch alleges that Kenya's plan to close the Dadaab refugee camp complex, amidst protest from Somalia, violates the UN's 1951 Refugee Convention, which requires that repatriation of refugees must be voluntary. Earlier this year Kenya's Interior Ministry announced that the camp, covering 50 km² (20 mi²) and home to nearly 300,000 people, would be closed by November. Ground was broken to construct the earliest portions of Dadaab in October 1991 by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees as a temporary measure to aid Somalis fleeing from their country's civil war, but as the years passed the site became home to refugees from other conflicts and to refugees from drought and famine, at its height holding more than half a million people.

"A building heavy with secrets"
In 2005, junior Harvard historian Caroline Elkins's controversial first book, Imperial Reckoning: Britain's First Gulag, resurfaced the history of Britain's brutal internment camps for the ethnic group the Kikuyu, believed to be supporters of the 1950s Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya. She then found herself working for survivors of the camps in a landmark case seeking reparations from the British government. The plaintiffs were aided by the stunning discovery at the time of their case of massive archives--1.2 million files worth--held in illegal secrecy by the Foreign Office which included files systematically removed from former colonies as the British withdrew. (Note: many of these links contain descriptions of violence against civilians.) [more inside]

Off he strode with a thrumpety trump, trump, trump, trump
From Tana River, Morgan trudged 20 kilometres on the first night and then hid in thick forest the following day, before continuing his march under cover of darkness. He maintained this pattern for the next 18 days. Morgan is a 30-year-old bull elephant, the first elephant to return to Somalia in 20 years, using an old migration route. [more inside]

Good women seldom make history.
This is Professor Wangari Maathai. The first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The first Kenyan woman to earn a doctoral degree. An icon of Kenya's democratic movement who repeatedly put not just her mind but also her body on the line in order to secure a better future for Kenyans and their natural environment. But Maathai's standing in Kenya is definitely ambiguous. She is beloved by feminists and environmentalists, and tolerated by everyone else... Women are expected to look backwards on guidance on what it means to be "good" – where "good" is primarily defined by men – but not too good because that makes women less interesting to men. This was not Wangari Maathai.
The inner life of the fig
The Queen of Trees is a documentary (52 minutes) on the sycomore fig tree, focusing on the intricate mutualism between a fig tree and its fig wasp. Filmmakers Victoria Stone and Mark Deeble spent two years camped out in the Kenyan bush to capture fascinating scenes of life around the sycomore, including inside the figs.

Obama-mania, a political minefield, and changing narratives.
It will be Barack Obama's first visit to the land of his father as American president and a far cry from a 1988 trip when his luggage got lost. Obama will be visiting only Kenya and Ethiopia. Yet each is the base for two Africa-wide trends. In Ethiopia, he will give a speech at the headquarters of the 54-nation African Union, the main body trying to lift the standards of governance among its members. But the White House appears more focused on Kenya, which is Africa's center of innovation and host to a global "summit" of entrepreneurs.

3.3-million-year-old stone tools from Lomekwi 3, West Turkana, Kenya
New fieldwork in West Turkana, Kenya, has identified evidence of much earlier (than 2.6 ma) hominin technological behaviour. We report (paywalled) the discovery of Lomekwi 3, a 3.3-million-year-old archaeological site where in situ stone artefacts occur in spatiotemporal association(pdf) with Pliocene hominin fossils in a wooded palaeoenvironment. Given the implications of the Lomekwi 3 assemblage for models aiming to converge environmental change, hominin evolution and technological origins (pdf), we propose for it the name 'Lomekwian', which predates (pdf) the Oldowan by 700,000 years and marks a new beginning to the known archaeological record.

Somali Militants Kill 147 at Kenyan University [New York Times]
Somali militants burst into a university in eastern Kenya on Thursday and killed nearly 150 students in the worst terrorist attack since the 1998 bombing of the United States Embassy here, laying bare the nation's continuing vulnerability after years of battling Islamist extremism. A small group of militants, most likely between four and 10, roved from dorm to dorm, separating Christian from Muslim students and killing the Christians, the authorities said. Students described being awakened before dawn by the sound of gunfire and fleeing for their lives as masked attackers closed in.[more inside]
African Game Development
Aurion looks to be a standard and mechanically unremarkable retro action RPG with heavy Japanese design influences. But its design and feel are unmistakably fresh, offering a bold color palette and interesting unit designs. Its fiction is rooted in stories of exploitation and division, and in a desire for harmony.This review of Cameroon's Kiro'o Games latest release is just one of the increasingly visible ways Africa's game developers are beginning to gain traction in their domestic and international markets. Last fall, Lagos hosted the inaugural West African Gaming Expo, bringing together startups, gamers, developers and investors for the first time. Games range from mobile only, extremely local - smash the mosquito or drive your matatu like a maniac - to educational - to full fledged RPG like Kiro'o's Aurion. Women are as much a part of this nascent industry, breaking barriers and encouraging others to join. Watch this space.

"That Saturday was really a normal Saturday, like any other Saturday,"
In This Horror Film, Blood Is All Too Real [New York Times] 'Terror at the Mall' on HBO documents an Attack in Kenya.
One year ago, gunmen from the Shabab militant group in Somalia laid siege to the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya. Armed with AK-47s and grenades, they stalked their victims from a gourmet burger restaurant at the entrance to the vegetable aisle of a grocery store at the back. The British filmmaker Dan Reed assembled thousands of hours of footage gleaned from more than 100 security cameras inside the mall, video from television crews and modest cellphones, as well as still photographs. Then he and his team tracked down more than 200 people and interviewed 82 of them on camera, many survivors or their rescuers.[more inside]

Kenya's biggest elephant killed by poachers
I am appalled at what that means – that the survival skills that the bull has painstakingly learnt over half a century have been rendered useless by the poachers' use of mass-produced Chinese goods; GPS smart-phones, cheap motorcycles and night vision goggles. I think the old bull knows that poachers want his tusks, and I hate that he knows. More than anything, I hate the thought that poachers are now closing in on one of the world's most iconic elephants.The Guardian [more inside]
Gorme xoloo noqoney? -- When did we become livestock?
In early April, hundreds of Somali speaking Kenyans were arrested in a supposed anti-terrorist sweep in Eastleigh, Nairobi after an alleged Al Shabaab attack left six dead. The people arrested were taken to a local football stadium and kept in cages, unless they could afford to bribe the police. For The New Inquiry Aaron Bady uses Kenyan and other news sources to explain the background to these razzias, why Somalis are often the victim of police extortion and how this impacts Kenya as a whole.

Legal groups say Kenya's justice system rarely prosecutes homophobic crimes, but that may soon change: In 2011 the incoming President of Kenya's Supreme Court Dr. Willy Mutunga called gay rights the "other frontier of marginalization" in Kenyan society in a signal that he may pressure Kenya's judiciary to decriminalize homosexual acts. In the wake of author Binyavanga Wainaina (previously 1, 2) coming out and the release of Invisible: Stories from Kenya's Queer Community, hope that Kenya may be going against the tide regarding gay rights in Africa.
Even a permethrin-treated bednet looks exciting next to Brad Pitt
The new TV show "The Samaritans" is a mockumentary inspired by The Office about the perils – and pleasures – of the "NGO world". Created by a Kenya-based production company, it chronicles the work of Aid for Aid – an NGO that, in the words of its creator, "does nothing." Over at Warscape, some wry advice for a "development officer of a not-for-profit yearning for a celebrity of your very own" after Downton Abbey's Elizabeth McGovern flubbed her "African adventure," mixing up Dakar with Darfur. "We have to break in our new celebrities slowly," confides Sarah Wilson, a World Vision representative who is chaperoning McGovern on the trip. "There will be lots of breaks so she doesn't get overloaded." (previously) (previouslier) (more previouslier)
Of all the occupations in the world, why did he trade in our ancestors!
NYTimes: "The paleontologist Richard Leakey has called their removal a "sacrilege." Kenyan villagers have said their theft led to crop failure and ailing livestock. It is little wonder, then, that the long, slender wooden East African memorial totems known as vigango are creating a spiritual crisis of sorts for American museums." [more inside]

Terrorism in Nairobi
"all we could hear was screaming and shooting." At approximately 11am on Saturday, September 21, terrorists - believed to be 10 to 15 in number, entered one of Nairobi's upscale malls and began killing people. Today, as the 4th day of the siege began, it is believed all the remaining hostages have been freed. Currently the death toll stands at 62 and 175 have been wounded. Al Shabab, a terrorist group based in Somalia, took credit for the attacks via their twitter account, before it was again suspended. [more inside]

Mau Mau to Midnapore: Confronting the brutality of empire There are certainly some Britons, including academics, journalists and human rights lawyers, who are aware of the realities of colonialism. However, in the society as a whole and in the media in the UK there are still far too many who seem strangely reluctant, even after so many decades after the end of the British empire, to come to terms with the true nature of colonialism or learn from the perspective of former subjects who had rebelled against it.
Nairobi's mod scene radically corrects Rock Star's lack of creativity
A contributor to the Gameological Society visits his local video game store in Nairobi to demonstrate the sort of games he found there, finding gems like "Guitar Hero: Beatles and Friends" (actually, mostly Bahasa pop music), "Robocop" (with extra rainbow), and what might just be the ne plus ultra of video game mods: Grand Theft Auto San Andreas: Kirk Douglas.

Kenyan record-winning distance runners trained by Irish missionary
Team Ireland is celebrating its first gold medal at London 2012, thanks to boxer Katie Taylor, but the Irish also had an unlikely part to play in another, very special Olympic victory on Thursday. Kenyan middle-distance runner David Rudisha joins notable alumni from Saint Patrick's High School, a 500-student boy's school started by Irish missionaries in 1963, in Iten, a town in Kenya. Brother Colm O'Connell, though no longer teaching at the school, is still a highly regarded coach in one of the world's great running capitals. The school plants a tree in honor of record-making alumni, though some of the more recent alumni are getting shrubs, to save space. [more inside]

The need for speed This article contrasts two very different timeframes in the 'social life' of the plant stimulant miraa--known elsewhere as khat--in Kenya and beyond. One, the heritage and cultural associations around the age of the trees themselves and the other, the impact of the perishability of the product even as demand for it grows on continents halfway around the world, thus the "need for speed".

The Foreign Office's "guilty secret" revealed Thousands of documents detailing some of the most shameful acts and crimes committed during the final years of the British empire were systematically destroyed to prevent them falling into the hands of post-independence governments. Those papers that survived were flown back to Britain and hidden for 50 years in a secret Foreign Office archive in breach of legal obligations for them to be transferred into the public domain. The Guardian details some of those papers released earlier this week. [more inside]

Precious Loss
The ruins of Gede are the remains of a mysterious lost city on the Swahili Coast of Kenya, located deep within the Arabuko Sokoke forest. The mystery of Gede (Gedi) is that it does not appear in any Swahili, Portuguese, or Arab written records and present day research has not yet been able to fully account for what actually happened to the city. The inhabitants were of the Swahili, an ancient trading civilization that emerged along the eastern coasts of Africa ranging from Somalia to Mozambique. Archaeological excavations carried out between 1948 and 1958 have uncovered porcelain from China, an Indian lamp, Venetian beads, Spanish scissors, and other artefacts from all over the world, demonstrating the occupants were engaged in extensive and sophisticated international trade. Questions still remain as to what caused the downfall of Gede, but by the 17th century, the city was completely abandoned to the forest and forgotten until the 1920s. Today, a National Museum, Gede's sister cities from the period are part of the ethnography based archeological work of Dr Chapurukha M. Kusimba of Chicago's Field Museum, whose lifework has thrown light on the precolonial heritage of the Swahili peoples.

YY Inc. (NASDAQ: YY) ("YY" or the "Company"), a live streaming platform, today announced that Mr. Jun Lei has tendered his resignation as the Chairman and a member of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), effective immediately, in order to focus his energy on Xiaomi, where he is currently Chairman and CEO. Mr. Lei will remain a major investor, strategic partner and advisor for YY going forward.
Mr. David Xueling Li, will succeed Mr. Lei as the Company's Chairman and resign as CEO. Additionally, Mr. David Xueling Li will be delegated all voting rights for Mr. Jun Lei's respective ownership. This shift will enable Mr. Li to focus more on YY's broader corporate strategy and the development of new and emerging applications and products based upon YY's core technology platform for interactive and live streaming applications.
Mr. Zhou Chen, who joined YY in 2007 and has served as the head of YY's music and entertainment business since 2011 and has been hugely successful in growing the business during his tenure, will succeed Mr. Li as the Company's CEO. Under Mr. Chen's leadership, YY music and entertainment has grown from RMB52 million in 2011 revenues to more than RMB3.3 billion in 2015, which represents a more than 60 fold increase from purely organic growth within five years, and now accounts for approximately 55% of the Company's business. This significant growth is a testament to Mr. Chen's solid strategic thinking, strong execution capabilities, and ability to quickly adapt to the rapidly evolving market.
Mr. Rongjie Dong, who has served as Executive Vice President of YY since 2006, will be promoted to CEO of Huya broadcasting, YY's independent online game broadcasting subsidiary. Mr. Dong successfully led online game business which contributed to over 70% of total revenues for YY during 2008 to 2010. He has a deep understanding of the industry and brings over 15 years of experience to his new role as CEO of one of the fastest growing businesses on YY's interactive, live streaming platform. His expertise will further deepen and strengthen the Company's management capabilities.
Mr. Jun Lei stated, "It has been a great honor to serve as YY's Chairman over the past 11 years. The Company is well positioned to leverage the many great opportunities lying ahead of it and I look forward to seeing YY's growth in the future. During my tenure, I have established a deep trust in David's business acumen and strategic direction, sharing the same management philosophy and development perspective for YY. I firmly believe that David will make even more significant contributions as the Chairman with his two decades of experience and outstanding leadership capabilities. I am confident that the management changes we announced today will position the Company extremely well to continue to maximize shareholder value going forward."
Mr. David Xueling Li stated, "I would like to thank everyone who has contributed in making YY the leading interactive, live streaming platform in China, and congratulate Mr. Zhou Chen and Mr. Rongjie Dong on their well-deserved promotions. They are known as respected and down-to-earth leaders with solid experience, creative genius and strong leadership. I am confident that they have all the qualities it takes to lead YY through the next phase of growth and look forward to continuing to work closely with them as Chairman of the Board."

UNITED STATES OF AMERICAv.RAMEL MOTEN
Presently before the Court are Defendant Ramel Moten's Pretrial Motions to Suppress Evidence. For the following reasons, Defendant's Motions will be denied.
On September 22, 2010 and September 7, 2011, a federal grand jury returned a seventy-three count indictment and an eighty-nine count superseding indictment, respectively, charging Defendant, Ramel Moten, along with nineteen (19) other Defendants with various crimes occurring on or about October 2001 through approximately October 6, 2010. These criminal acts were committed in and around the Bartram Village Housing Development (BVHD) in Southwest Philadelphia by a criminal enterprise known to law enforcement as the "Harlem Boys." Throughout the course of the investigation, police and federal authorities obtained and executed numerous search and seizure warrants, which led to the recovery of drugs, drug paraphernalia, drug proceeds, firearms, ammunition, fired cartridge casings, documents, photographs, letters and other mail, and other items.
Members of the enterprise committed, attempted, and threatened to commit acts of violence, including murder, assault, and robbery, to protect and expand the enterprise's criminal operations. The members of the enterprise had varying roles. The Government alleges that Defendant Moten was a supplier and distributor of illegal narcotics and a lead gunman for the enterprise, who committed acts of violence with other members of the enterprise and frequently provided firearms to his coconspirators for use in robberies, assaults and other crimes. The Government alleges that Moten became the leader of the organization when another member stepped down in April 2007. While some acts of violence occurred prior to April 2007, the violence intensified in the years following Moten's increased role.
Moten is charged with over forty (40) counts in the superseding indictment. These counts include, but are not limited to, charges of conspiracy to participate in a racketeering enterprise under 18 U.S.C. § 1962(d); conspiracy to distribute under 21 U.S.C. § 846; assault with a deadly weapon in aid of racketeering under 18 U.S.C. § 1959(a)(3); carrying and use of a firearm during a violent crime under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c); engaging in the illegal dealing of firearms under 18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(1)(A); carjacking under 18 U.S.C. § 2119; threatening to commit a crime of violence in aid of racketeering under 18 U.S.C. § 1959(a)(4); and distribution of cocaine base ("crack") under 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Moten has filed four pre-trial motions, which have been briefed by the parties and argued in a pre-trial motions hearing on May 15-16, 2012, where evidence and testimony were provided by the Government and counsel on various motions. These motions include Ramel Moten's motion to sever (Doc. No. 308),*fn1 motions to suppress (Doc. No. 313 & 314), and motion to exclude audio and videotape recordings (Doc. No. 315).*fn2
II.Motion to Suppress Evidence from October 20, 2001
On October 20, 2001, Philadelphia Police responded to a report involving a gun the area of at 5408 Lindbergh Boulevard, right outside the BVHD. Officer Eric Blocker testified at the hearing that upon their arrival, the officers observed Bryan Hill and Ramel Moten. Officer Blocker testified that Hill was attempting to cover a firearm in his waistband with his shirt and Moten was observed reaching into his waistband. Both Hill and Moten then began running from the officers and the officers pursued them on foot. Both Hill and Moten were caught by police. After a pat down search, both Defendants were found in possession of various packets of "crack" cocaine and marijuana packaged for street sale. Specifically, Moten had nine packets of marijuana and ten packets of "crack."
Moten argues that the pat down search was more intrusive than allowed under the constitution and that the police lacked justification for stopping him. In determining whether a warrantless arrest was lawful, the Court must review the historical facts relied upon the officer at the time of the arrest to determine whether, under the totality of the circumstances, the officer had probable cause to arrest the defendant. Maryland v. Pringle, 540 U.S. 366, 371 (2003). Probable cause "exists when the totality of the circumstances within an officer's knowledge is sufficient to warrant a person of reasonable caution to conclude that the person being arrested has committed or is committing an offense." United States v. Laville, 480 F.3d 187, 189 (3d Cir. 2007). The officers received the call about a gun and as soon as they stepped out of the car to approach Moten and Hill, the two Defendants began to run. Where "police officers reasonably suspect that an individual may be engaged in criminal activity, and the individual deliberately takes flight when the officers attempt to stop and question him, the officers generally no longer have mere reasonable suspicion, but probable cause to arrest." United States v. Laville, 480 F.3d 187, 189 (3d Cir. 2007). During the chase, the officers saw Defendant Hill throw a gun.
This pat down essentially was a search incident to arrest. Incident to a lawful arrest, police are entitled to search the area within the arrestee's immediate control. Chimel v. California, 395 U.S. 752, 763 (1969). Following a valid custodial arrest, police may conduct a warrantless search of the arrestee and the area within his immediate control without either probable cause or reasonable suspicion to believe the search will yield either weapons or contraband. New York v. Belton, 453 U.S. 454, 461 (1981). Because the officers had probable cause, based on both Defendants fleeing the scene and Defendant Hill throwing a gun during the chase, the arrest was valid and any evidence discovered from a search incident to that arrest is admissible.
However, even if there was not sufficient basis to justify an arrest, based on the officers' testimony, I find that the plain feel doctrine applies to the search of Defendant Moten. See Minnesota v. Dickerson, 508 U.S. 366, 375-76 (1993); United States v. Yamba, 506 F.3d 251 (3d Cir. 2007). Although there was no gun on Moten's person, Officer Blocker had at minimum reasonable suspicion to conduct a Terry stop of Moten.
The Officer testified that he patted Moten down for safety reasons and felt what he believed, based on his knowledge and experience as a police officer, to be narcotics. See Ornelas v. United States, 517 U.S. 690, 699 (1996); Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968). Therefore, the evidence is admissible and the Defendant's motion to suppress is denied.
III.Motion to Suppress Evidence from October 7, 2009
On October 7, 2009, Philadelphia Police officers engaged in a foot pursuit of an individual, suspected of burglary, who ran into 5403 Harley Terrace, Apartment 3A. Upon arrival, Officer Keith testified that the officers smelled a strong odor of marijuana.*fn3
Police knocked on the door several times and were eventually let into the apartment. Inside the apartment, the officers located the male whom they were chasing. After a protective sweep of the apartment, the officers observed a silver Colt Police Model .38 caliber revolver, loaded with six rounds. The lessee gave the officers written consent to search the apartment. The officers then conducted a complete search of the residence and found numerous packets of "crack" and marijuana. During a phone call between Moten and a confidential informant after the search took place, Moten allegedly states that the "stuff" taken from the apartment was "ours."
Although the search of a home without a warrant is presumptively unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment, a warrantless search and seizure is reasonable if probable cause and exigent circumstances exist to justify the intrusion. See Kirk v. Louisiana, 536 U.S. 635, 638 (2002); United States v. Coles, 437 F.3d 361, 365-66 (3d Cir. 2006).
Moten argues that there were no exigent circumstances, no consent, and no other lawful basis to search.
In order to determine whether law enforcement had an objectively reasonable basis for believing exigent circumstances existed at the time of the search, courts must look at the totality of circumstances and the "inherent necessities of the situation at the time." United States v. Rubin, 474 F.2d 262, 268 (3d Cir. 1973). "Examples of exigent circumstances include, but are not limited to, hot pursuit of a suspected felon, the possibility that evidence may be removed or destroyed, and danger to the lives of officers or others." Coles, 437 F.3d at 366.
In this case, the officers responded to a call involving an individual and a gun. Upon arrival, they located the person fitting the description and engaged in a hot pursuit of the individual up to the apartment. The officers also smelled marijuana outside of the apartment. After they were let into the apartment, the officers apprehended the individual they had been chasing and conducted a protective sweep. See Maryland v. Buie, 494 U.S. 325 (1990) (holding that officers are permitted to conduct a warrantless protective sweep of an area following an arrest). This revealed the gun, which Officer Keith testified was in plain sight. They were then granted permission by the owner of the premises to conduct a search.*fn4
Based on these facts, the officers reasonably concluded that there could well be additional occupants still inside the house, including areas other than the livingroom, and that they had access to a gun, and that they posed a danger to the officers. Thus, exigent circumstances justified the warrantless entry into the house and the ensuing limited sweep of the premises. Even if the exigent circumstances were not sufficient, the officers obtained written consent from Ms. Pittman, who was the owner of the premises, to search the apartment.*fn5 Therefore, the evidence obtained from the search of the apartment is admissible and the Defendant's motion to suppress is denied.
For the reasons stated above, I will deny the Defendant's Motions to Suppress Evidence (Doc. No. 313 & 314).

A wealth of newly released evidence relating to the killing of a young black man by a neighbourhood watch "captain" has further muddied the waters in a case that has sparked civil rights protests and gun law debates in America.
Crucial details about the shooting of the Florida teenager Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman emerged from the nearly 200 pages of documents made public on Thursday night, including that Martin was shot through the heart from point blank range and that the alleged murderer suffered a broken nose and bruises.
The documents also reveal that the lead investigator in the case wanted to charge Zimmerman with manslaughter in the weeks after the 17-year-old's shooting but was overruled.
The new evidence appears to support Zimmerman's contention that he was being beaten up on 26 February this year when he fired the fatal shot.
But the medical examiner's report showed only a small abrasion on Martin's left ring finger and no other injuries – apart from the fatal gunshot wound to the chest – to support Zimmerman's claim that he was nearly beaten to death.
It also bolsters the argument of Martin's parents that Zimmerman was "profiling" Martin (selecting him because of his race) and the confrontation could have been avoided.
Martin had been visiting family in the gated community where Zimmerman lived when he was killed by a single gunshot wound to the heart after a struggle with Zimmerman.
Police initially declined to arrest Zimmerman, citing Florida's "Stand Your Ground" self-defence law.
The decision enraged civil rights campaigners, who held protests across the country and alleged that racial profiling was behind Martin's death.
As demonstrations grew, a special prosecutor was appointed who went on to charge Zimmerman with second-degree murder.
The facts have since been debated on television sets across the country, and stirred feelings of discrimination.
One of the main points of contention in the case centres around a 911 call made by a neighbour reporting a struggle between two men in which the screams of a man can he heard in the background.
Relatives of Zimmerman say the screams are his, and prove he was acting in self-defence, while Martin's parents claim the voice is that of their son pleading for his life.
But Kenneth Marr, a specialist with the FBI's digital evidence laboratory who analysed the tapes, said the recording was inconclusive. "The screaming voice of the 911 call is of insufficient voice quality and duration to conduct a meaningful voice comparison with any other voice samples," he said.
Also among the evidence is the medical examiner's report, which showed traces of THC – the active ingredient in marijuana – in Martin's blood.
An attorney for the Martin family called the marijuana evidence irrelevant, saying it was more telling that police declined to order a drug or alcohol test on Zimmerman.

The Bologna Declaration and the subsequent processes is the single most important reform of higher education taking place in Europe in the last 30 years. Signed in 1999, it includes 46 European Union countries and aimed to create, a more coherent, compatible, comparable and competitive European Higher Education Area. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the Bologna Declaration achievements in nursing education at 2010 within eight countries that first signed the Declaration on 1999. Researchers primarily identified national laws, policy statements, guidelines and grey literature; then, a literature review on Bologna Declaration implementation in nursing was conducted on the Medline and CINAHL databases. Critical analyses of these documents were performed by expert nurse educators. Structural, organizational, functional and cultural obstacles are hindering full Bologna Process implementation in nursing education within European Economic Area. A call for action is offered in order to achieve a functionally unified system within nursing.

I am a disabled mother of 3 taking care of my disabled mother. Is there any way for me to get ahead?
Only 1 of my children receive benefits from Social Security and that is from her father's. Mine does not cover my kids.
Asked by Kira Hamoudeh
1 Answer
Hi Kira, I'm guessing what you mean by "to get ahead" is financially? Social Security serves as a social safety net. Because you and one child receives some type of benefit, it's possible "other" benefits and access to programs may be available to you. I don't know what state you are in to direct you to a specific department, but you can contact SSA @ 800.772.1213 AND contact your state's social and health services department.
Good luck, wish you well,

Jimmy was our engaging and patient instructor.
Copped a stray board in the head but kept his cool and got on with it (wow).
He was so efficient and made it very easy for us to grasp the art of surfing.
Provided the board, the rashy, and the theory of safe and effective surfing.
Good range of ages from 11,...
First time on a surfboard. Tom really did a good job! first some theorie about the board and the ocean and then some fun! we were with 3 in total in a group (quiet day). He was really patient and professional! After 2 hours I could stand on my board and surf. That felt amazing. I can really recommend this...
Thank you so much for your review, Tom is an excellent instructor and will be happy to hear that you enjoyed your surf lesson. Cheers Merrick
Never touched a surfboard before and I was up on 3rd try, the technique is simple doable even for the very low levels. I had Merrick himself and he was friendly and super helpful giving feedback anytime I wanted it.
Thanks Klarss, great to meet you last week. Keep practising if you can. Cheers Merrick!
learned to surf here. was a good lesson. got to stand on a long board. safe to say I never kept it going which is a pity
Thanks John, hopefully we will see you again and get you up and riding again ):
I just want to give a massive big up to the guys at 'Learn to Surf', in particular Jimmy, Anthony, Tom and Merrick. You guys rock!
I was inspired to come up for a week of surfing after an awesome first lesson with Jimmy earlier this year -and I'm so glad I did.
I always wanted to learn to surf...
Thank you so much Rian, it was an absolute pleasure having you. You did really well and we hope to see you back here one day. The surf was unusually small but you managed to to work with the conditions and the team really enjoyed having you surf with us. Thanks again for your great review :) Cheers Merrick
Mum & I booked a 90 min SUP lesson. Neither of us have experience with any board, standing or surfing. We met our instructor, Jimmy, at the allocated spot. He took us & our boards, down to the beautiful Noosa riverbank, where he gave us some instructions before we hit the water. Jimmy's instructions were very easily understood & 90...

Thank you Anthony for your amazing review. We are so fortunate to have a team that absolutely love what they do and pass on their skills and techniques to our valued participants. Glad to hear you've caught the surfing bug!! Keep it up and enjoy the rest of your stay :)
I had a great lesson from Stephano. He had lots of energy, he was very encouraging, kind and gave me great advise. I would recommend him for surf lessons anytime! Thanks to the team!
Merciiii Stephano !!!
Hi Melanie, thank you so much. We are pleased you enjoyed your surfing lesson with our team.
The day before yesterday I got a surf lesson from Stephano and I absolutely loved it! During the lesson he taught our group how the sea works (low tide, high tide, sea banks, waves, rip current etc.) and what to do if you are in trouble, next we learned more about the surfboard, and of course, last but not least...
Thanks for your positive review, Steph is a brilliant coach who loves seeing his students succeed. I will pass this review onto him, He will be thrilled. Thanks again!! :)
I think a good school, but stefano is a bit to much of a talker. Lot of talking (about drinks, beers, other surfers), he evens smells of beer in the morning and less surf action. He damn knows how to surf, but missed the real active coaching which I was hoping for. Bit of a disappointment.
Hi Mariska, we are sorry to hear that you didn't receive more active coaching from Stephano. I have spoken to him about your review and he was surprised as he said you came back for 2 more sessions with him? Had we been made aware of your concerns whilst attending the surf school, we could have assigned another coach for...

From the Owner
"We wanted to be within the Bordeaux Wine Appellation. It is beautiful countryside here, quiet and tranquil. We wanted a traditional stone house that we could accommodate us and all of our family and friends. We had very specific criteria to meet in terms of the vineyard and we also had to be within 30 minutes of a good golf course (for my Dad!), not that we ever get a chance to play as we're far too busy in the vines!"

"We are a working vineyard, and we do all the work ourselves, from the pruning in the winter, ploughing in the spring, the weeding in the summer and the harvesting and wine making in the autumn. We offer a unique opportunity to get a real insight into what a vineyard really is and how it works. You'll also get to sample the end results! We have two boys aged 10 & 8 so the whole property is set up for children, the apartment is child friendly, the swimming pool and gardens are fully enclosed and there are plenty of toys and games, including trampolines and football nets. Our boys love to meet and play with other childrent (even the girls if they must!!)"

text: Few questions: My current delnoch theme (mod1004) has the following at the top of the screen: Apps, Games, Config, Wntrboard, Ipod. I want to substitute wntrboard and make it say safari for internet instead...how would I go about editing this? 2) My calendar isn't updating the weather or day, it's stuck on yesterday still and i have all of the defaults...didn't mess with any time intervals. I'm also connected to wifi, however, have no cell/phone service....should that matter? 3) Can you edit the color/text/shape of the numerical notifications for phone, mail, messages... 4) Any idea on where to install header battery files so I can change the color of the top right corner battery...? Thanks guys!

Opening in theaters this Friday
Wopular is an
online newspaper rack,
giving you a summary view of the top headlines from the top news sites.
Senh Duong (Founder)Wopular,
A recently unearthed video interview with Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci from 2013 has renewed interest, and outrage, over what happened to actress Maria Schneider on set during the infamous butter rape scene.
Bertolucci said that neither he nor Marlon Brando told Schneider of their plans to use the stick of butter during the simulated rape scene — a concept they came up with the morning of the shoot — because he wanted her to react "as a girl not as an actress."
Schneider, who died in 2011 at age 58 after a lengthy illness, spoke a number of times about the scene between her, then aged 19, and Marlon Brando, then 48, even saying in a 2007 Daily Mail interview that she "felt a little raped" by her co-star and director.
Schneider, a relative unknown when she was cast in the film, said that the "whole circus" of suddenly being famous made her turn to drugs and she even attempted suicide a few times.
"Last Tango in Paris" is making headlines again 44 years after the controversial film came out. A recently unearthed video interview with Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci from 2013 has renewed …
With Clone Wars character Saw Gerrera making his live-action debut in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as played by Forest Whitaker, might other animated characters from Star Wars television series make the transition to live-action in future Star Wars movies?
Not necessarily, according to Lucasfilm president and Star Wars movie producer Kathleen Kennedy.
Leftovers 'Moana,' 'Fantastic Beasts' rule box office again
Both family-friendly films topped the post-Thanksgiving box office charts, with "Moana" bringing in $28.4 million and "Fantastic Beasts" earning $18.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Disney's animated "Moana," in only its second weekend in theaters and second weekend at No. 1, has grossed $119.9 million, while Warner Bros.'
Paramount's sci-fi mindbender "Arrival" took third with $7.3 million, while the company's World War II spy thriller "Allied" placed fourth with $7.1 million.
The weekend's only new opener, the micro-budget horror film "Incarnate," fell short of modest expectations and took in only $2.6 million.
The low-cost nature of the BH Tilt films and release model enables us to experiment and take risks, and we look forward to seeing what we can learn from this weekend for our future BH Tilt slate releases in 2017.
In limited release, the Jacqueline Kennedy biopic "Jackie," starring Natalie Portman in one of the year's buzziest performances, earned $275,000 from five theaters.
The Thanksgiving holiday is a long, extended binge of eating food and watching lots of movies, and then this weekend is the diet.
The weekend overall is expected to be down about 3 percent from last year, which saw the Christmas-themed horror film "Krampus" rake in $16.3 million.
While there are still some big films on the horizon, including "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" and the animated "Sing," it remains to be seen whether or not they will compete with the late-game 2015 juggernaut of "The Force Awakens," which earned $652 million in the last 14 days of the year.
Universal and Focus are owned by NBC Universal, a unit of Comcast Corp.; Sony, Columbia, Sony Screen Gems and Sony Pictures Classics are units of Sony Corp.; Paramount is owned by Viacom Inc.; Disney, Pixar and Marvel are owned by The Walt Disney Co.; Miramax is owned by Filmyard Holdings LLC; 20th Century Fox and Fox Searchlight are owned by 21st Century Fox; Warner Bros.
Moana stays strong!
Disney's island princess and her demigod colleague continued bringing in crowds this weekend, keeping MOANA on top with an estimated $28.3 million!
The latest animated feature from the Mouse House went down 50% from last weekend's first-place opening. For comparison, FROZEN dropped by 53% in its second week, although it went on to a massive domestic total of $400
