Globally, Africans in the diaspora are spread out across the continents. In North America, there are 39 million from the African Diaspora; 113 million in Latin America; 13.6 million in the Caribbean; and 3.5 million in Europe, the World Bank estimates.

Passage: By Associated Press PUBLISHED: 17:54 EST, 23 May 2013 | UPDATED: 19:57 EST, 24 May 2013 The Boy Scouts of America threw open its ranks Thursday to gay Scouts but not gay Scout leaders - a fiercely contested compromise that some warned could fracture the organisation and lead to mass defections of members and donors. Of the roughly 1,400 voting members of the BSA's National Council who cast ballots, 61 per cent supported the proposal drafted by the governing Executive Committee. The policy change is due to take effect on January 1 next year. 'While people have different opinions about this policy, we can all agree that kids are better off when they are in Scouting,' the BSA said after announcing the results at the council's annual meeting near Dallas. More than 60 percent of BSA members voted on Thursday to allow openly gay boys to join. Gay adults remain barred from serving as Scout leaders. Thursday's announcement is not expected to satisfy either the conservative or liberal wings of the organization

Passage: Colin Powell's former chief of staff publicly blasted the Republican Party and one of Mitt Romney’s top aide as racists over a controversial comment regarding Powell’s endorsement of President Obama. Appearing on Ed Schultz's MSNBC show Friday, retired Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson said, 'My party is full of racists' in response to John Sununu's remark that the only reason Powell, a Republican who served as secretary of state under George W. Bush, backed the Democratic incumbent is because both men are black. Wilkerson told Schultz that he respected Sununu 'as a Republican,' but did ‘not have any respect for the integrity of the position that [Sununu] seemed to codify. Retired Colonel John Wilkerson is a Republican who served as General Colin Powell's chief of staff.

Passage: (CNN) -- Forget the macho world of the standard shoot-'em up video game. Rather than relying on blood, gore and mayhem, a number of game developers are tapping into their inner emotions, inviting gamers along for adventures of the psyche. Recent releases "Tomb Raider" and "BioShock Infinite" evoked an emotional response by creating characters with which gamers could identify and empathize. Now "The Last of Us" ups the stakes with its story of two people surviving in a post-apocalyptic world -- Joel, a grizzled man who has seen too much, and Ellie, a young girl who could be the future of the world. In new top video games, designers are working hard to move players emotionally. "The Last of Us" follows a duo who bond for survival in a post-apocalyptic world. "Bioshock: Infinite" and "Lara Croft" similarly invested in character development. One of designers for "Last": "We want to give people moments"

Query: The overwhelming majority were young voters, many of whom said they attended because of @placeholder's wife, a mother of three.
Entities: United States, Zahra Rahnavard, Iranian, Iran, TEHRAN, Michelle Obama, CNN, Tehran, Mir Hossein Mousavi
Passage: TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Dancing in public is not allowed in Iran, but thousands could hardly contain themselves at a recent presidential campaign rally in the capital city, Tehran. Supporters hope Zahra Rahnavard will become Iran's future first lady. On this day, the deafening cheers were not for presidential hopeful Mir Hossein Mousavi, but rather for his wife -- a woman some are calling Iran's Michelle Obama. The comparisons to the first lady of the United States stem from the role Zahra Rahnavard is playing in her husband's quest for the presidency. Never in the history of Iranian presidential elections has a candidate put his wife in the forefront of his campaign. Wife of presidential hopeful Mir Hossein Mousavi generates huge crowds. Never in the history of Iranian presidential elections has a wife been in the forefront. "This is the first time after the Revolution we see a lady behind the president" Could draw young voters in Iran, where median age is 27

Passage: Claire Danes' hot streak at the Emmys is making her a bit bashful. The 34-year-old "Homeland" actress told CNN backstage that she was a bit overwhelmed to be this year's outstanding lead actress in a drama winner. "This is preposterous," Danes said. "It's wonderful, and I'm very, very grateful -- and it's a little hard to accept, you know?" Danes has played the troubled but brilliant intelligence officer Carrie Mathison on Showtime's "Homeland" since 2011, and Sunday night's win marked her second victory in a row as lead actress in a drama. "I get shy, but I don't mean to reject it any way. I'm so touched by it, so grateful for it," she said. "I'm going back to work, and this will be a lovely thing to pass around the crew, and people can take photos with it. The point is the work itself." Claire Danes admits to being "shy" about winning Emmy again. "Homeland" star won best dramatic actress award for second year. "Behind the Candelabra's" Michael Douglas calls Liberace role one of his best. Jeff Daniels on winning: "Well, crap ... didn't expect this"

Passage: Hong Kong (CNN) -- Tokyo has overtaken Luanda, Angola, as the world's most expensive city for overseas staff after the cost of imported goods rose in the wake of last year's earthquake. An annual cost of living report, released Tuesday by U.S. consulting firm Mercer, showed several Japanese cities had moved up in the rankings after the yen strengthened against the U.S. dollar. Two other Japanese cities rank in the top ten: Osaka comes in third with Nagoya in 10th place. Elsewhere, Luanda drops to second, Moscow is forth, with Geneva in fifth place. Researchers looked at 214 cities around the world, analyzing data from March 2011 to March 2012. Tokyo moved up from No. 2 last year to become world's most expensive city. Housing costs are the biggest indicator of cost of living, researchers say. Euro crisis caused many European cities to fall in rankings. Asian cities make up five of the top 10 most expensive cities

Passage: Birmingham's renaissance under Gary Rowett got firmly back on track with a ruthless obliteration of shell-shocked Reading in the Sky Bet Championship. The wide margin was harsh on the Royals as Birmingham, who lost for the first time under Rowett at Blackpool last week, led 4-1 at half-time through Paul Caddis' opener and a slick Demarai Gray hat-trick. Glenn Murray had pulled it back to 2-1 earlier, but Rowett's side refused to let up and Andrew Shinnie and David Cotterill rounded off a clinical afternoon's work. Reading's Oliver Norwood (left) puts in a strong tackle on Birmingham City's Andrew Shinnie. Paul Caddis opens the scoring for Birmingham. Demarai Gray then scores three goals for the Blues. Glenn Murray pulls a goal back for Reading. But Andrew Shinnie makes it 5-1 before the break. David Cotterill adds a sixth on the hour mark. Reading won the last match 2-1 at St. Andrew's in March

Passage: (CNN) -- The tiniest iPhone rumors can cause a big uproar.

The reaction on blogs and on Twitter has been largely negative, with commenters saying the new port -- used to charge the phone and connect it to other devices -- would render obsolete existing chargers and accessories such as speaker sets.

Passage: (CNN) -- Iggy Pop invented punk rock. That's how cool he is. His songs have been covered by the likes of Guns N' Roses, REM, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Sex Pistols. Iggy Pop: The wildest man in rock music. He is the wildest wild man of rock and his four-decade career has been marked by drug addiction, self mutilation and onstage nudity -- and at 61 years old he is showing no signs of growing old gracefully. Born on April 21, 1947, in Muskegon, Michigan, James Newell Osterberg grew up in a trailer park. When he began learning the drums as a teenager his parents gave up their bedroom to house his drum kit. It wasn't long before he took his talent out of the bedroom, playing with high-school band The Iguanas, from which he later took his stage name. Iggy Pop and The Stooges produced three classic albums in the 60s and 70s. In 1975, Iggy checked himself into a mental institution in a bid to get off Heroin. David Bowie co-wrote and produced Iggy's The Idiot and Lust for Life albums. The Stooges re-united in 2003 and have since played all over the world

Passage: Devoted: John Bayley and Iris Murdoch. The couple met while he was a young academic at Oxford The film Iris, about the novelist Iris Murdoch’s descent into Alzheimer’s disease, was directed by Richard Eyre — whose own mother suffered from this appalling form of dementia. It was, obviously, an extremely harrowing story, which touched the hearts of many. Audiences watched the young Iris (played by Kate Winslet), a tousled tomboy cycling round Oxford, her head full of philosophy and the fiction which would make her name. Then we saw Dame Judi Dench (as the older Iris) in a cardie, becoming at first muddled, and then more or less witless. Iris’s husband, John Bayley, in old age, was played by Jim Broadbent, an avuncular, gentle figure, whose devotion to his wife was saint-like. John Bayley wrote memoir about wife Iris' descent into Alzheimer's disease. Friends admired the gallant way John coped with the novelist's illness. But even before she died he published first book in a trilogy about Iris. They revealed her secret lovers and describe her loss of bodily control

Yet as he boarded a plane home from New Zealand yesterday – after England were dumped out of the Rugby World Cup by France at the weekend – he was all smiles as team mate Manu Tuilagi re-enacted the notorious nightclub encounter.

Passage: (CNN) -- Greece may have given us the word democracy and many of the principles of civil society. But now it is "the sick man of Europe," and the people of other European democracies are asking whether it's worth saving with billions more dollars of their money. Put crudely, their argument is this: So what if Greece slides ignominiously out of the eurozone? Goodbye Greece... In continental terms, Greece is peripheral. It doesn't sit on reservoirs of oil, and it relies on agriculture and tourism as money-earners. It accounts for just 5% of the European Union's economic output. With the Cold War long over, its strategic position on the edge of the Balkans is not as important as it was. Greece doesn't sit on oil reservoirs; it relies on agriculture, tourism as money-earners. Critics question whether Greece has the will or capacity to stay within the eurozone. Some argue that so long as Greece uses the euro, it will never become competitive

Query: What @placeholder did not say, however, was that the nation shed 4.3 million jobs during the early days of his term, and that the net gain since he took the oath of office in January 2009 is just 125,000 jobs.
Entities: Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, Obama, CNN, Ohio, Democratic, University of Denver
Passage: (CNN) -- No issue has been hotter throughout the run-up to the election than jobs -- and both candidates took pains to tackle the issue during their first debate Wednesday at the University of Denver. "Over the last 30 months, we've seen 5 million jobs in the private sector created," Democratic incumbent Barack Obama said. The facts: In 2009, Obama's first full year in office, people in states across the country were losing their jobs at a startling clip. In Ohio, the unemployment rate was 10.6%. But over the next few years, the nation saw slow increases in employment in the retail, education and health care sectors. Today, most states are gaining jobs. The key swing state of Ohio now has a 7.2% unemployment rate. President Barack Obama says he created 5 million jobs. Mitt Romney says 23 million people are out of work in the nation. Employment figures could prove key to this race

Query: @placeholder was shot around 9.00 p.m. Friday night across the street from the home he was staying at in West Savannah.
Entities: Georgia, Jacksonville, Taylor Jowers, Waycross, Ryan Gorman, Montrez Burroughs, Savannah
Passage: By Ryan Gorman Two young children were accidentally shot to death by similarly-aged relatives this weekend in Georgia, authorities said. Police say Montrez Burroughs, 11, of Jacksonville, was shot by a 12-year-old relative Friday night while visiting relatives in Savannah. Taylor Jowers, 10, of Waycross, Georgia, was reportedly shot dead at home by her brother. Both victims were shot in the chest. No adults were around in either instance, according to reports, but charges have been filed only in the Savannah shooting. Both gunned down: Montrez Burroughs (left) was shot dead by a young relative playing with a gun, police said. Taylor Jowers (right) died after her brother accidentally fired a shotgun into her chest, according to reports. Montrez Burroughs, 11, was shot dead by a 12-year-old relative. Taylor Jowers, 10, was shot dead by her 15-eyar-old brother. The children were left alone and around loaded firearms in both instances

Query: Our amendment is both simple and absolutely necessary: It ensures that every @placeholder citizen possesses the fundamental right to vote in any public election where he or she resides, and empowers Congress with the authority to protect this right.
Entities: Supreme Court, Mark Pocan, Voting Rights Act, Section 4, Americans, Constitution, CNN, Pocan, Congress
Passage: (CNN) -- That didn't take long. Just two weeks since the Supreme Court struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act, state legislatures are moving quickly on voter suppression measures. Already, six of the nine states that were previously covered by the requirement that changes in voting procedures be pre-cleared have started to bring up restrictive voter ID laws. If there is a glimmer of hope for voting rights advocates, however, it's that the court merely ruled that the formula was outdated, and that Congress "may draft another formula based on current conditions." I agree with the court that indeed, the previous formula included in the Voting Rights Act does not address today's attempts to restrict the right to vote. In fact, I think it underestimates them. Mark Pocan: States are moving on voter suppression measures after Voting Rights Act ruling. Pocan: A "Right to Vote" amendment would guarantee voting for all Americans. Despite popular belief, he says, Constitution does not guarantee right to vote. Pocan: Voter fraud nonexistent; states would have to prove a reason to restrict rights
