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.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says a committee tasked with monitoring the implementation of a nuclear agreement with six world powers will on Wednesday decide on how to respond to the US Congress’ recent extension of a piece of anti-Iran legislation. President Rouhani made the announcement during an address on the occasion of the Students' Day at the Tehran University on Tuesday. The deal, dubbed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), involves a total of seven sides, namely Iran, the US, the UK, France, Germany, Russia, and China. It was reached in July 2015.

He took my virginity, now he disrespects me

Dear Pastor, I am 23 years old and I presently have a boyfriend. We became friends two years ago. I left my parents home and went to live with him as a virgin. And after sleeping with him for the first night, my virginity was gone. He told me that we could have sex and I will still remain a virgin. I told him that he should go ahead and as he entered my vagina, I knew my virginity was gone. When I asked him about it, he said he was only joking. I am now pregnant and we are always having arguments. He is always telling me that I should go back to my parents. He has other girlfriends. They call him at the house and when I answer, they disrespect me. This man does not know his age. He is 41 years old and still fools around schoolgirls. I used to love him, but I don't love him anymore because he has too many women. Sometimes I am here all alone. Pastor, please give me your advice. G.S. Dear G.S., Well, you are very naOve to believe that as a virgin, you could have sexual intercourse w

'Exercise boosts men's sperm count'

Image
Doing at least half an hour of exercise three times a week may boost men's sperm count, say scientists. Men who took up running and stuck with it had more "healthy swimmers", according to the research in the journal Reproduction. The boost was only temporary, and began to wane within a month if the men stopped their treadmill training. Experts say it is important to strike the right balance because too much exercise can harm sperm production. Studies have shown that participation in competitive sports, like cycling, can lower sperm quality. Sperm boosters Keep your testicles cool - avoid tight underwear and hot baths Avoid sexually transmitted infections Stop smoking Cut down on alcohol Stay slim Get some exercise, but not too much! All of the 261 men enrolled in the recent trial were healthy and did not have any fertility problems as far as they could tell. They had normal sperm counts and healthy-looking sperm and led fairly sedentary lives. The men were allocated to on

Trump says Air Force One Boeing order should be cancelled

Mr Trump told reporters that Boeing was "doing a little bit of a number" US President-elect Donald Trump has said he wants to cut government costs by cancelling the order for new planes to carry the American president. Six weeks ahead of taking office, he tweeted: "Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!" The government has a contract with Boeing to build two or more new planes. They would enter service around 2024. Mr Trump would not fly on the new planes unless he won a second term in the 2020 US election. But the US Air Force has urged a faster schedule, saying the current jets are becoming too expensive to repair. Mr Trump now uses his own plane, also a 747, but as president he would travel aboard Air Force One, which is equipped with special safety, defensive and communications equipment. It is unclear what costs would be involved in cancelling the order. Mr Trump

They pointed guns at him and robbed him of his luxury brand glasses, two gold bracelets and a mobile phone, he said. Velasquez was released in 2014 after spending 22 years in prison for murder. 'I did not resist' Velasquez confessed to killing 300 people and also claimed a hand in up to 3,000 killings in the 1980s and 1990s, when he led a team of hired killers working for the Medellin drugs cartel.
