2. RIP Dr Angelou and thank you for all your wonderful poems, words of wisdom and the leadership, courage and inspiration you gave us!

HERE IS THE REPORT POSTED BY FOX AND CNN:

Award-winning author, renowned poet and civil rights activist Dr. Maya Angelou has died. She was 86. Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines confirmed Angelou was found by her caretaker on Wednesday morning. Angelou’s publicist, Helen Brann, also confirmed the news.

Angelou had been reportedly battling health problems. She recently canceled a scheduled appearance of a special event to be held in her honor.

Angelou was set to be honored with the “Beacon of Life Award” at the 2014 MLB Beacon Award Luncheon on May 30 in Houston.

Angelou, one of the most renowned and influential voices of our time, is a celebrated poet, novelist, educator, producer, actress, filmmaker and civil rights activist.

A professor, singer and dancer, among other things, Angelou’s work spans several different professions. She spent her early years studying dance and drama in California.

After dropping out at age 14, she became the San Francisco’s first African-American female cable car conductor.

Angelou later returned to high school to finish her diploma and gave birth to her son a few weeks after graduation. While the 17-year-old single mother waited tables to support her son, she acquired a passion for music and dance.

Affectionately referred to as Dr. Angelou, the professor never went to college. She has received over 50 honorary degrees and was Reynolds Professor of American Studies at Wake Forest University.

Angelou is famous for saying, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Maya Angelou’s birth name was Marguerite Annie Johnson, and she was fluent in 6 languages

Angelou was also named one of the 10 most admired North Carolinians in a recent Elon Poll.

Angelou was born on April 4, 1928, in St. Louis, Missouri. She grew up between St. Louis and the then-racially-segregated Stamps, Arkansas.

The famous poet got into writing after a childhood tragedy that stunned her into silence for almost a decade. When she was 7, her mother’s boyfriend raped her. He was later beaten to death by a mob after she testified against him.

“My 7-and-a-half-year-old logic deduced that my voice had killed him, so I stopped speaking for almost six years,” she said.

From the silence, a louder voice was born.

Her list of friends is as impressive as her illustrious career. Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey referred to her as “sister friend.” She counted Martin Luther King Jr., with whom she worked during the Civil Rights movement, among her friends. King was assassinated on her birthday.

Angelou spoke at least six languages, and worked as a newspaper editor in Egypt and Ghana. During that time, she wrote “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” launching the first in a series of autobiographical books.

“I want to write so well that a person is 30 or 40 pages in a book of mine … before she realizes she’s reading,” she said.

Angelou was also one of the first black women film directors. Her work on Broadway has been nominated for Tony Awards.

Before making it big, the 6-foot-tall wordsmith also worked as a cook and sang with a traveling road show. “Look where we’ve all come from … coming out of darkness, moving toward the light,” she has said. “It is a long journey, but a sweet one, bittersweet.”

How to get rich without too much sweat for people who are struggling financially

I often hear people say, 'Why am I poor? Why are Africans poor, even though they live in the midst of abundance? A couple of years ago, I ran a Money Workshop program at the start of the recession and I was amazed at how educated people dealt with money/investments. Many people do not have a clue about how money is made and multiplied... I thought about all these things carefully and this is what I say:

1. Improve yourself with education/training/apprenticeship/practise
2. Everyday learn something new especially as you get older
3. Have a big dream, a purpose, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESSES or find a meaningful career you love and work hard
4. Stay focused
5. Move in the right circles, be friendly but firm and network non-stop
6. Be encouraged - get over disappointments quickly and move on
7. Be persistent - never, ever give up on your dreams
8. Aim high, set goals, be determined, be bold
9. Up grade your communication skills - take writing/public speaking lessons
10. Help as many people as possible - the more people you help the better - solve their problems
11. LOVE others, support them and have FUN
12. Be patient - it takes time for good things to blossom
13. Share your knowledge - don't be selfish and keep everything to yourself
14. Look the part - presentation matters - look your best at all times
15. Be better than the last time - correct mistakes
16. Invest and re-invest - Always save a fifth of your income for investments
16. Be excellent at whatever you do, BE THE BEST and your economic status will gradually change."

People who sleep 8 hours and more say they feel younger, more relax, alert and happier. If you are happy, you look younger.

Mother of one of the kidnapped girls.

On 17 April 2014, the western African country of Nigeria woke up to the news that 230 teenage girls who had stayed behind in school to prepare for their WAEC (GCSE) exams had been kidnapped by armed men overnight.

Fast forward to 1 May, the girls have not been found. Nigeria which boasts a population of over 160 million people and one of the most advanced countries in Africa cannot devise a plan to rescue these school girls.

Controversy
No one has seen the list of names of the missing girls, the figures differ and life seems normal in the Northern Nigerian town where it happened.

Here are the photographs culled from BRING BACK OUR GIRLS that have been released so far by news agencies worldwide:
