Reggae Artiste Black Uhuru Biography by InfosysTV The most successful of the second-generation reggae bands, Black Uhuru maintained their high quality despite numerous personnel changes in their 40-plus-year history. The first reggae band to win a Grammy award, for their 1983 album Anthem, Black Uhuru was called "The most dynamic and progressive reggae act of the 1970s and early '80s." The band, whose name comes from the Swahili word meaning "freedom," was formed in the Waterhouse district of Kingston by Don Carlos, Rudolph "Garth" Dennis, and Derrick "Duckie" Simpson. When the group experienced difficulties securing a record contract, Spencer left to pursue a solo career and Dennis joined the Wailing Souls. Simpson, who remained the thread throughout Black Uhuru's evolution, reorganized the band with Errol "Jay" Wilson and quivery-voiced lead vocalist Michael Rose.

Kenyan Muslims shield Christians in Mandera bus attack
Kenyan Muslims shield Christians in Mandera bus attack
A group of Kenyan
Muslims travelling on a bus ambushed by Islamist gunmen protected
Christian passengers by refusing to be split into groups, according to
eyewitnesses.
They told the militants "to kill them together or leave them alone", a local governor told Kenyan media.
At least two people were killed in the attack, near the north-eastern village of El Wak on the Somali border.
The Somali based al-Shabab group says it carried out the attack.
The group often carries out attacks in Kenya's north-east.
The bus was travelling from the capital Nairobi to the town of Mandera.
When
al-Shabab killed 148 people in an attack on Garissa University College
in April, the militants reportedly singled out Christians and shot them,
while freeing many Muslims.
Last year, a bus was attacked near
Mandera by al-Shabab militants, who killed 28 non-Muslims travelling to
Nairobi for the Christmas holidays.
"The locals showed a sense of patriotism and belonging to each other," Mandera governor Ali Roba told Kenya's private Daily Nation newspaper.
The militants decided to leave after the passengers' show of unity, he added. Analysis: Bashkas Jugsodaay, BBC News, Nairobi
The passengers on the bus showed great bravery, but
there was another quality revealed by their surprising decision to stand
up to the gunmen: Frustration.
The majority of the local
population in the north-east are Kenyan Muslims of Somali descent, and
they have been hit hard by the consequences of al-Shabab attacks, even
if non-Muslims are supposedly the main target of the Somali militant
group.
An attack last year in Mandera, in which Christians were
killed after being separated from Muslims, caused the departure of more
than 2,000 teachers, as well as many health workers who had come from
other parts of the country.
Perhaps the passengers felt that the region could simply not afford another such attack.
It
will be interesting to see if their actions embolden local populations
to increase their resistance to al-Shabab, which has attacked the area
several times.
An employee of the
Makkah bus company, who had spoken to the driver involved in the attack,
confirmed to the BBC that Muslims had refused to be separated from
their fellow Christian passengers.
One of the victims was shot
dead after trying to run away from the militants after passengers had
been forced off the bus, the same employee told the BBC's Bashkas
Jugsodaay in Nairobi.
Al-Shabab has been at war with Kenya ever
since Kenyan forces entered Somalia in October 2011 in an effort to
crush the militants.
Kenya's north-eastern region has a large population of ethnic Somalis. Al-Shabab attacks in Kenya

A Hendersonville man was caught having sex with a pig after his penis got lodged in the pig’s vagina. David Chavez of Hendersonville, North Carolina is in police custody after a local farmer found him having “inappropriate relations” with a pig on his property. The farmer, not wanting to be named publicly, reported hearing loud squealing coming from the pig pen in the back area of his property. Suspecting that wild dogs might be trying to hurt his pigs, he quickly grabbed his shotgun and made his way out. "That’s when I saw him. I was just in shock at the sight of it. I yelled at the man to get off my pig or I would damn well shoot him. He was screaming saying he was unable to move as his penis was stuck in the pig’s vagina.” Confused, the farmer alerted police.

It’s not the sort of situation you expect to get called to, it was extre
