Friday, February fourteenth, the UN says at least 22 people have been killed in a village in the Northwest region of Cameroon. Over half of those killed were children. No one has claimed responsibility for Friday’s incident but the opposition parties blame the killing on the government.
Walking while texting to be banned in US
Just as driving laws restrict use
of mobile phones to avoid distractions, the new law plans to avoid problems
caused by people not paying attention to where they are walking.
State politician, Pamela Lampitt
has introduced the bill, which would make any use of electronic communications
devices while walking illegal, unless used with a hands-free device.
Offenders could face fines of up
to US$50 per infraction, or 15 days in jail.
"Distracted pedestrians,
like distracted drivers, present a potential danger to themselves and drivers
on the road," Lampitt said. "An individual crossing the road distracted
by their smartphone presents just as much
danger to motorists as someone
jaywalking and should be held, at minimum, to the same penalty."
The move could be a boon for
voice recognition technology though, as people switch from typing text
messages, to speaking them.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
