CHEMICAL WARFARE - TOXIC SOUP!
Belize City, Thursday, May 21,
2009 - For almost
two months, Belize City residents have been forced to endure the stifling and

newborn son.

anything you want”, Adam Ramadam, a street vendor for 29 years told the
BELIZE TIMES.

a WORLD of JAZZ - NINA SIMONE
I am
currently reading a book called “The Story of Jazz,” written by Marshall W.
Stearns and first published in 1956.
There are updated editions is this text as well, but I have an old hard
cover copy loaned to me by my Jazz friend Salim Malik, complete with book worm
holes and, quite expectedly, yellowing and beat up. The first chapter – Jazz and West African
