Image
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.

Slovenian Rejected gay law

Slovenian Rejected gay law Slovenians have rejected same-sex marriage by a large margin in a referendum. Almost two-thirds of voters said no to a bill that defined marriage as a union between two consenting adults. Parliament passed a law giving marriage equality in March, but opponents challenged it before any gay couples could marry. Conservatives were especially opposed to allowing same-sex couples to adopt children. "This result presents a victory for our children," said Ales Primc from the group Children Are At Stake. The result demonstrates a cultural split in the EU, where western member states are granting greater rights to gay people but newer central and eastern member states are resisting such moves. Slovenia's conservatives were backed by Pope Francis, who called on the mainly Catholic country to "back the family as the structural reference point for the life of society". But MPs from the United Left party, which initially proposed the ch

Vladimir Putin has warned that Russia is ready to to scale up its military intervention in Syria , less than a day after Moscow signed off on an ambitious UN plan to end the war. The peace roadmap lays out a two-year path year path year path year path year path year path year path to elections for a new government, starting with a January ceasefire, and marks the first time America and Russia have reached broad consensus on Syria’s future after years of conflict that has cost more than 250,000 lives and made millions more into refugees. But the pact was so broad that it sidestepped one of the biggest questions at the heart of Syria’s troubles, the future of President Bashar al-Assad, and several other    key issues.
