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. Accompanied by the rhythm section of Sly Dunbar on
Syrian rebels have begun evacuating
the last district they control in the city of Homs under a ceasefire
deal reached with the government.
Those leaving al-Wair, under siege for almost three years, will travel to rebel-held areas of Idlib province.
Homs was once dubbed the "capital of the revolution" and saw some of the first protests of the 2011 uprising.
But the truce means the entire city returns to government control, in a boost for President Bashar al-Assad.
Buses arrived on Wednesday to transport fighters and their families out of the Homs suburb of al-Wair.
About
700 people, including rebel fighters and civilians, are due to depart
throughout Wednesday, Homs governor Talal Barazi said.
Fighters
linked to al-Qaeda are among those due to leave, but moderate groups who
have accepted the ceasefire are expected to remain.
Under the UN-backed deal, food aid has reached the suburb for the first time in nearly a year.
The Syrian Red Crescent tweeted (in Arabic) that its teams were operating in the area but few details were available on the conditions on the ground.
"We wish for the best," said one resident. "What do we want but safety?"
A bitter landmark: Lyse Doucet, BBC News, Homs
On Wednesday the long road into al-Wair was lined
with passenger buses, UN cars, ambulances, and Syrian military vehicles.
A buffer zone at the entrance was packed with Syrian soldiers and
officials, blue-vested UN staff, and the red coats of the Syrian Red
Crescent.
The first to leave were dozens of injured, young and old, hobbling on crutches or bent in wheelchairs.
Then came 100 families of the fighters, some tearful to be leaving their homes, many desperate to be free of a punishing siege.
The
last to board waiting buses were more than 300 fighters from hardline
groups who reject the ceasefire but agreed not to disrupt it.
The ceasefire is a bitter landmark for those who protested and fought in a city once called "capital of the revolution".
For
others, it's the only way forward to begin to end a devastating war and
to ease the suffering of civilians who have paid a heavy price.
An estimated 75,000 people still live in al-Wair, down from about 300,000 before the start of the Syrian conflict.
As part of the deal, the Syrian authorities this week said they released 35 opposition fighters detained in Homs.
The ceasefire involves rebels withdrawing from al-Wair in
exchange for the Syrian government lifting their siege of the district.
Government police, but not troops, will then re-enter, Homs governor Talal Barazzi told AFP.
Q&A: The Homs ceasefire
Is this a victory for Bashar al-Assad? The
withdrawal of the last remaining rebels from al-Wair is a blow to the
opposition because it gives the government complete control over what
was once the centre of the uprising against the president. Has it come about because of Russia's intervention? The
Syrian military launched an offensive on rebel-held areas outside Homs
after Russia began its air campaign two months ago. But al-Wair fell
because its residents were besieged for almost three years, coming under
continuous and heavy bombardment and receiving only limited and
irregular supplies. Does this offer hope for a wider peace deal? Local
ceasefires like the one that allowed the al-Wair withdrawal -
negotiated by Syrians, rather than involving outside states - may be the
most effective way of gradually bringing peace to the country. Why are rebel and opposition factions meeting in Saudi Arabia?
Leading opposition politicians and rebels are for the first time
meeting in an attempt to agree a common position ahead of peace talks
with the government, which world powers want to start in Vienna next
month. Will those talks lead to peace talks with the government?
Analysts say trying to get the disparate factions to agree to the same
platform and negotiate as one unit will prove very difficult, if not
impossible.
A similar ceasefire last
year in another opposition-held area of Homs, the Old City, drew
criticism from activists as effectively being a surrender forced by a
relentless bombardment.
But some activists have defended the truce
struck in al-Wair on the grounds that some groups will be allowed to
keep their own weapons and control over their own communities.
In Saudi Arabia, representatives from Syria's splintered opposition have meanwhile begun a meeting to try to form a unified front to negotiate with the Syrian government.
Divisions
have emerged, with the powerful Islamist faction Ahrar al-Sham calling
for the Syrian government to be dissolved and President Assad put on
trial, but correspondents say there is nonetheless optimism that a
common position will be found.
Homs: Syrian revolution's fallen 'capital'
Protests against President Assad erupt in Homs in mid-March 2011
By the middle of 2012, up to a fifth of Homs is in opposition hands
In the same year the Syrian military
launches an operation to crush resistance. Districts are bombarded,
leaving civilians trapped, and the government re-takes key districts
By January 2014, only the Old City and
al-Wair are still held by the opposition. A ceasefire is reached in the
Old City after warnings about the dire humanitarian situation
In 2015, a similar deal sees rebels begin evacuating al-Wair
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. Deputy Ryan Cooper, an employee at the Hendersonville Police Department, explained “ When we got there they were locked up pretty good. It’s not the sort of situation you expect to get called to, it was extre
