Uproar as Labour leader hopeful Owen Smith denies joking about his '29-inch penis'
TWITTER has been sent into meltdown after Labour leader candidate Owen Smith appeared to make a gag about his manhood.
"Hang on, did Owen Smith just tell everyone he had a 29-inch penis?"Liane Gomersall, from Grimsby
The Pontypridd MP was in Hull last night as he continues his bid for the Labour top job when a member of the audience asked if they could ask him a "personal question"?
It is then alleged that Smith answered by gesturing to his third leg and claiming "29 inches – inner leg measurement of course".
The extraordinary claim saw Twitter explode.
One of social media user, Liane Gomersall, from Grimsby, tweeted: "Hang on, did Owen Smith just tell everyone he had a 29-inch penis?"
Owen smith randomly said that he had a 29 inch penis. WTF. IS this who u what for Labour leader? DISGUSTING!— Block 4 The BlockGod (@Block4BlockGod) 29 August 2016
Ian Clark, from Canterbury, asked: "Owen Smith making a joke about his penis at a campaign event? Surely can't be true...surely?
Meanwhile, Abi Wilkinson, from London asked: "I was going to ask why people are talking about Owen Smith's penis but I don't think I actually want to know."
But a spokesman for Smith's campaign denied this is what he was doing and said the account was "inaccurate".
"During an event in Hull Owen was asked by a member of the audience 'Can I ask you ask you a personal question?'" the spokesman told Huffington Post UK.
They added: "Owen said: 'five foot, six inches, and 29 inch inside leg'.
"He then gestured to the inside of his leg.
"It was a self-deprecating joke about his height."

Herpes simplex - wikipedia part 1
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpes_simplex
Herpes simplex (Ancient Greek: ἕρπης - herpes, lit. "creeping") is a viral disease caused by both herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). Infection with the herpes virus is categorized into one of several distinct disorders based on the site of infection. Oral herpes, the visible symptoms of which are colloquially called cold sores or fever blisters, infects the face and mouth. Oral herpes is the most common form of infection. Genital herpes, known simply as herpes, is the second most common form of herpes. Other disorders such as herpetic whitlow, herpes gladiatorum, ocular herpes (keratitis), cerebral herpes infection encephalitis, Mollaret's meningitis, neonatal herpes, and possibly Bell's palsy are all caused by herpes simplex viruses.
Herpes viruses cycle between periods of active disease—presenting as blisters containing infectious virus particles—that last 2–21 days, followed by a remission period. Genital herpes, however, is often asymptomatic, though viral shedding may still occur. After initial infection, the viruses are transported along sensory nerves to the sensory nerve cell bodies, where they become latent and reside life-long. Causes of recurrence are uncertain, though some potential triggers have been identified, including immunosuppressant drugs (see below). The previously latent virus then multiplies new virus particles in the nerve cell and these are transported along the axon of each neuron to the nerve terminals in the skin, where they are released. Over time, episodes of active disease reduce in frequency and severity.
Herpes simplex is most easily transmitted by direct contact with a lesion or the body fluid of an infected individual. Transmission may also occur through skin-to-skin contact during periods of asymptomatic shedding. Barrier protection methods are the most reliable method of preventing transmission of herpes, but they merely reduce rather than eliminate risk. Oral herpes is easily diagnosed if the patient presents with visible sores or ulcers. Early stages of orofacial herpes and genital herpes are harder to diagnose; laboratory testing is usually required.
A cure for herpes has not yet been developed. Once infected, the virus remains in the body for life. However, after several years, some people will become perpetually asymptomatic and will no longer experience outbreaks, though they may still be contagious to others. Treatments with antivirals can reduce viral shedding and alleviate the severity of symptomatic episodes. Vaccines are in clinical trials but have not demonstrated effectiveness. It should not be confused with conditions caused by other viruses in the herpesviridae family such as herpes zoster, which is caused by varicella zoster virus. The differential diagnosis includes hand, foot and mouth disease due to similar lesions on the skin.
Herpes simplex is divided into two types: HSV type 1 and HSV type 2. HSV1 primarily causes mouth, throat, face, eye, and central nervous system infections, while HSV2 primarily causes anogenital infections.[1] However, each may cause infections in all areas.
Signs and symptoms
HSV infection causes several distinct medical disorders. Common infection of the skin or mucosa may affect the face and mouth (orofacial herpes), genitalia (genital herpes), or hands (herpes whitlow). More serious disorders occur when the virus infects and damages the eye (herpes keratitis), or invades the central nervous system, damaging the brain (herpes encephalitis). Patients with immature or suppressed immune systems, such as newborns, transplant recipients, or AIDS patients are prone to severe complications from HSV infections. HSV infection has also been associated with cognitive deficits of bipolar disorder,[2] and Alzheimer's disease,[3] although this is often dependent on the genetics of the infected person.
In all cases HSV is never removed from the body by the immune system. Following a primary infection, the virus enters the nerves at the site of primary infection, migrates to the cell body of the neuron, and becomes latent in the ganglion. As a result of primary infection, the body produces antibodies to the particular type of HSV involved, preventing a subsequent infection of that type at a different site. In HSV-1 infected individuals, seroconversion after an oral infection will prevent additional HSV-1 infections such as whitlow, genital herpes, and keratitis. Prior HSV-1 seroconversion seems to reduce the symptoms of a later HSV-2 infection, although HSV-2 can still be contracted. Most indications are that an HSV-2 infection contracted prior to HSV-1 seroconversion will also immunize that person against HSV-1 infection.[citation needed]
Many people infected with HSV-2 display no physical symptoms—individuals with no symptoms are described as asymptomatic or as having subclinical herpes.
Bell's palsy
Although the exact cause of Bell's palsy, a type of facial paralysis, is unknown it may be related to reactivation of herpes simplex virus type 1. This theory has been contested, however since HSV is detected in large numbers of individuals who never experienced facial paralysis, and higher levels of antibodies for HSV are not found in HSV-infected individuals with Bell's palsy compared to those without. Regardless antivirals have been found to not improve outcomes.
Alzheimer's disease
SV-1 has been proposed as a possible cause of Alzheimer's disease.[ In the presence of a certain gene variation (APOE-epsilon4 allele carriers), HSV-1 appears to be particularly damaging to the nervous system and increases one's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. The virus interacts with the components and receptors of lipoproteins, which may lead to the development of Alzheimer's disease. Without the presence of the gene allele, HSV type 1 does not appear to cause any neurological damage and thus increase the risk of Alzheimer's. Herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA is localized within the beta-amyloid plaques that characterize Alzheimer's disease. It suggests that this virus is a major cause of the plaques and hence probably a significant aetiological factor in Alzheimer's disease.
Herpes is contracted through direct contact with an active lesion or body fluid of an infected person. Herpes transmission occurs between discordant partners; a person with a history of infection (HSV seropositive) can pass the virus to an HSV seronegative person. The only way to contract Herpes simplex virus 2 is through direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected individual.[citation needed] To infect a new individual, HSV travels through tiny breaks in the skin or mucous membranes in the mouth or genital areas. Even microscopic abrasions on mucous membranes are sufficient to allow viral entry.
HSV asymptomatic shedding occurs at some time in most individuals infected with herpes. It can occur more than a week before or after a symptomatic recurrence in 50% of cases. Virus enters into susceptible cells via entry receptors such as nectin-1, HVEM and 3-O sulfated heparan sulfate. Infected people that show no visible symptoms may still shed and transmit virus through their skin; asymptomatic shedding may represent the most common form of HSV-2 transmission. Asymptomatic shedding is more frequent within the first 12 months of acquiring HSV. Concurrent infection with HIV increases the frequency and duration of asymptomatic shedding. There are indications that some individuals may have much lower patterns of shedding, but evidence supporting this is not fully verified; no significant differences are seen in the frequency of asymptomatic shedding when comparing persons with one to twelve annual recurrences to those who have no recurrences.
Antibodies that develop following an initial infection with a type of HSV prevents reinfection with the same virus type—a person with a history of orofacial infection caused by HSV-1 cannot contract herpes whitlow or a genital infection caused by HSV-1. In a monogamous couple, a seronegative female runs a greater than 30% per year risk of contracting an HSV infection from a seropositive male partner.[24] If an oral HSV-1 infection is contracted first, seroconversion will have occurred after 6 weeks to provide protective antibodies against a future genital HSV-1

Carly Rae Jepsen has revealed that her duet with Justin Bieber will feature on her upcoming solo album.
The 'Call Me Maybe' singer first alluded to the "top-secret" collaboration with Bieber in April and has now provided more details while discussing the LP with MTV News.
"The way my album has come together has been sort of a shock for me," Jepsen admitted.
She continued: "[My song with Redfoo is] really neat. We made friends and started working on a song together, and we actually started working on a majority of that song over the phone.
"Also worked with Jack [Antonoff, guitarist] from the band Fun., and that was sort of a random collaboration of us both really digging what the other person did.
"And the last collaboration is a song with Justin Bieber. We're gonna do a little duet. And then the rest are sort of like, I think 'Call Me Maybe' is a pretty fair representation. It is pop, but there's also dance-pop and a little hint of folk-pop."
Jepsen also revealed her duet with Bieber dates back to their very first meeting.
"It was a song that him and Toby Gad brought to the table and asked [me to record]," she recalled. "Actually, on my first introduction of Bieber, he was like, 'Do you wanna sing this song?' I said, 'Yes!' I love that track as well, so it was exciting!"
Jepsen's second studio album is expected to be released later this year.

ANA normalizing
I am new to this board and have some questions. I have hashimoto's and vitiligo along with a neuromuscular disease- a myopathy that has affexted my proximal muscles and respiratory muscles. I have had a positive ANA for at least 5-6 yrs. I had one drawn in MAy 2006 and it was > 1:640 speckled pattern. I saw a rheumatologist about 3 yrs ago who did all the lupus blood work and it was negative except for the ANA. The positive ANA has always been contributed to the hashimoto's and vitiligo. I saw a new internal medicine doctor last week and he repeated the ANA . The nurse called me and said it came back negative - <19 and normal was <99. She did not give a titer, etc. I was dumbfounded as it has been positive for so long.:confused: . I still have muscle and joint pain and stiffness. I don't know whether to just let it go and believe the lab or question it. I just wondered if this usually happens and what it means.
Thanks .
Re: ANA normalizing
My 10 yr old son has AIH and has had a positive ANA since last year. His blood tests in August show his ANA is now negative as well as his smooth muscle is barely above normal now too. I have read that many people say that when they arent having a flare or are in a remission that the titers can come back negative. I believe some docs do antibody tests as well as other labs depending on the illness to watch for flare ups.... hope that may help you some. Mfife31
Re: ANA normalizing
Thanks for your response. So, when the ANA normalizes- it doesn't mean a autoimmune disease is no longer present, right? I know that sounds dumb:dizzy: but I am learning. There is a strong family history of autoimmune diseases and my aunt died of lupus.
Linda :angel:
Re: ANA normalizing
Lindlane - How were you diagnosed with Hashimoto's? I have thyroid perox. antibodies, plus positive ana, and my DsDNA is 9 which is considered normal. I have put on 12 pounds since June and a total of 32 pounds in the last 2 years. I also have white spots growing on my arms and legs. I am in physical therapy 2X week for my joint and muscle pain, I take plaqunil, edotolac, and pain meds. Are you getting answers from your doctors? What meds are you on? Have you gained a lot of weigth? I used to be able to eat anything and not gain a pound, now I eat healthy, no fast food or fried food, and I blowing up! Arg!

You guys I am so stinking beat. I would much rather curl up in bed than do anything else. I took the easy way out today. I have no inspiration. Zero. Zippo. None. So instead of putting together a well-thought out post that might actually interest you guys, I decided to just post another outfit.
If I had a fall uniform, this would be it. Oversized sweater, check; fun scarf, check; stretchy pants, check; and comfy shoes, check. Basically the equivalent of pajamas minus the scarf. And I call myself a style blogger. Go figure.
Oh and just for the record folks, today I found out that my son might possibly grow up to be 6'8". What the what. Not cool little dude, Not cool. Maybe you could just take a growing break? Maybe just maybe?
I promise I will be more inspirational tomorrow.,,maybe.

Seriously, I demand to know who picked the title How to be Single for this film. While I laughed out loud at Rebel Wilson's jokes, and I admittedly like Dakota Johnson even though she was in 50 Shades of Grey, the movie wasn't really about being single. It was about trying not to be single. And what fun is that? So I present to you instead, for your pleasure, my guide to actually being single and not trying to find a guy to hook up with or marry:
Figure out which kind of wine you actually like.
When you're not eating with anyone else or trying to impress them with your favorite type of wine or an expensive bottle that someone else told you was good, you can find out which wines you actually like the taste of. Or you can drink whatever is cheap because there's no one to judge you. Once you find out which wine you like best, feel free to drink it Amy Schumer style. It's your right.
Find a workout that doesn't make you hate physical activity.
In How to Be Single, Dakota Johnson's character Alice has always wanted to hike the Grand Canyon at sunrise on New Year's Day. If hiking sounds like a great way to stay healthy to you, go for it. But don't let anyone drag you up a mountain you don't want to be dragged up. If you're an indoor exerciser, assert your right to stay indoors. Yoga is also awesome. Or a barre workout if you're like me and you've always wanted to pretend to be a ballerina. The point is, exercise should be something you enjoy doing to stay healthy. Not something you force yourself to do because you believe you should look a certain way.
Find your girl squad.
Alice finds Rebel Wilson, and they form a bit of an unlikely friendship around partying and guys. I like that they become friends because Alice, who's been in a relationship forever, really needs a friend. But one of the failings of the film is that it doesn't give much of a reason for their friendship other than convenience and later, the passage of time. These aren't lasting friendships, as everyone who has gone to college finds out. Convenience friends aren't life-long. So find your life-long friends. The ones who love the same crappy movies you love and talk about things you're interested in. The ones who will slap The Fault in Our Stars out of your hands when you try to re-read it because it's a terrible idea. The ones you can travel with and not want to pull out your own hair. These are the people who will see you through.
Treat yo self.
Buy yourself what you actually want. We've all gotten disappointing presents from other people, but you'll never get a disappointing present from yourself. Work hard, and when you've worked hard, buy yourself something that makes you feel good about the hard work you've done. In How to Be Single, Alice treats herself to a cute apartment with a book nook.
Go to the movies by yourself.
Seeing a movie by yourself is great because you can love it or hate it, and not have to reconcile your feelings with anyone else's at the end. You also don't need to clear the movie choice with anyone else so you can see whatever you want. Plus, you don't have to share your popcorn.
Eat at a restaurant alone.
Eating by yourself is a learning experience, but you'll find out that you're really great company. Resist the urge to pull out your phone. It's awkward at first because we're so used to sharing tables with other people and chattering away, but you'll find after a while that you don't mind the silence. There are so few quiet moments these days, enjoy the ones you get.
But this is just my list. I encourage you to write your own. You hear so much about the importance of loving yourself first, and don't get me wrong, loving yourself is the most important thing. But it's not a stop on the train to true love. This isn't about readying yourself for someone else, it's about living your life and not waiting for someone else to make it worthwhile. Because being single isn't an excuse not to do things just like being in a relationship isn't. It isn't a means to an end. There isn't your single life and then a life you will have once you fall in love with someone. So do whatever you feel like doing, and don't waste any time.

After a dismal 2011, the market for initial public offerings in the United States is roaring back to life, producing double-digit gains for investors.
Share prices for companies that went public in the U.S. over the prior two years soared nearly 20 per cent in the first quarter, a trend that bodes well for Facebook Inc.'s whopper IPO, expected next month.
But analysts say the best opportunities for investors may lie beyond Facebook, in smaller companies that are pricing their deals at attractive levels to entice investors.
The tempting valuations are the result of an unusually crowded IPO market. After waiting out tough conditions in 2011, when a choppy economy forced many companies to pull back from planned IPOs, a large number of companies are trying to get their deals done in 2012. The candidates range from specialty manufacturers such as Tumi Holdings Inc., which makes high-end suitcases, to the private equity giant Carlyle Group.
"We have the biggest backlog of companies in over a decade," says Kathleen Smith, a principal with Renaissance Capital LLC, an IPO research and investment firm. "They are lined up, in registration, so there is a lot of inventory."
The plentiful supply means lower than average valuations as companies give up some cash in return for finally getting their deals done.
"In order to get the investor to step up to look, the deals had to be priced down," Ms. Smith says. "We are seeing the biggest discounting in years, and it's continuing."
Weak pricing for issuers in the first quarter translated into solid gains for investors. Those who were able to get stocks at offering prices on average made a 19-per-cent gain in the first day of trading, followed by an additional 10 per cent gain in aftermarket trading through the quarter, says James Krapfel, equity analyst with Morningstar Inc.
Another force that could aid IPO investors is the market's growing willingness to pay up for growth potential. At a time when profit growth is slowing among larger companies, a newly public firm with fast-growing revenue can be especially attractive.
"There's a belief by investors that a large company paying a large dividend may not get you the returns you want," Ms. Smith says.
"Investors are willing to pay a big premium for growth," Mr. Krapfel said. This sentiment has been evident in the technology sector, where the stock price of the average tech IPO surged 60 per cent above its offering price and 20 per cent above its initial trading price, according to Morningstar.
Mr. Krapfel warns that valuations for companies connected to the red-hot area of cloud computing have become "frothy." Guidewire Software Inc. , Brightcove Inc. , Demandware Inc. and Bazaarvoice Inc. have seen their stocks climb more than 50 per cent since their debuts last quarter.
Most IPO prices, though, remain far from bubble territory, with the average post-IPO stock trading at only 15.8 times trailing earnings, according to Renaissance Capital.
Facebook, which has chosen to list on the Nasdaq, has yet to put a price on its offering. Early indications are that the deal will price the entire company at as much as $100-billion (U.S.).
"We would not put all our eggs in one basket," says Ms. Smith. "However, there is something about Facebook that could make us look conservative if we advise people not to chase this one."Report Typo/Error

Hull North MP Diana Johnson has highlighted figures showing that 6,900 Hull families will be hit by the Bedroom Tax. These figures from the National Housing Federation include tenants of non-Council social housing in Hull, in addition to the 4,700 Hull Council tenants who will be hit by the Bedroom Tax. These households would lose an average £728 per year when the Coalition Government's cuts in Housing Benefit start next month. Hull City Council has only around 70 smaller one and two bedroom dwellings available for these families to downsize into.
Hull North MP Diana Johnson has slammed Lib Dems for voting against their own flagship Mansion Tax policy in the House of Commons today.
After going along with the Tory tax cut for millionaires, a failing economic plan, a VAT rise and a trebling of tuition fees the Lib Dems had a chance today to finally vote for a policy that was in their manifesto – a Mansion Tax on properties worth over £2m.
Instead Lib Dem MPs joined the Tories to vote the policy down.
Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Liam Byrne is in Hull today to launch a major Labour campaign to highlight the unfairness of David Cameron's Bedroom Tax.
The launch will be the first in a series of events ahead of the introduction of the bedroom tax in April - at exactly the same time as the Government are giving 13,000 millionaires a tax cut worth £100,000 a year on average.

Maarty Leunen, the versatile 6-foot-9, 210-pound forward from Redmond, Ore., is preparing himself for a busy September. With his final four of Gonzaga, Oregon, Oregon State, and UCLA, Leunen has finalized all his dates for in-home and official campus visits for next month as he gets closer to making a decision before basketball season starts.
The original plan was that Leunen would have made an official visit to Oregon by this time and had a second trip to Oregon State later this week. However, plans do change and Leunen has a new schedule. He was still planning on making an unofficial visit to OSU this Thursday for the Beavers' football home opener against Sacramento State, but the Booth and Bear Butte fires in Central Oregon has made the travel situation difficult.
"The fires have shut down the roads so I'd have to take an hour detour to get there (to Corvallis)," said Leunen. "So I don't think I'm going to do that anymore."
Article Continues Below
Instead, Leunen will wait and host OSU head coach Jay John on an in-home visit on September 9th. Then his schedule will go into full force. From September 12-14 he will make his official visit down to UCLA. He returns home on the 15th for an in-house visit from Oregon head coach Ernie Kent. On the 16th, the Leunens will host Gonzaga head coach Mark Few. From September 19th-21st, he will then return the favor by officially visiting the Gonzaga campus.
From September 23-25, Leunen will make his official visit to the University of Oregon. He will then immediately make his official visit to Oregon State from September 26-28. He will then come home to Redmond and host UCLA on an in-home visit on either the 29th or the 30th. At that point, Leunen will gather everything together and hopefully come up with a final decision in the month of October.
This new schedule will allow Leunen to visit schools such as Oregon and Oregon
State while students are on campus. Had he made his official visits to those schools with the previous itinerary, he would have gone while school was out.
In the meantime, Leunen is spending the last part of his summer relaxing at home and hitting the golf course regularly. School at Redmond will start on September 3.

Not everyone wants to have to get a new refrigerator when something goes wrong. Luckily, sometimes refrigerators can be repaired and it isn't very costly. Nevertheless, there are times when the repair could be as expensive as a new refrigerator. It is up to you to figure out what is best – new refrigerator or a repair.
Refrigerators are used all the time and are generally maintenance free. These units can usually last up to 20 years. Still there will come a time when it quits working. It is just a question of when the refrigerator will breakdown and how much it will cost to repair or replace it.
For all of your Atlanta Refrigerator Repair Needs – Call All Area Appliance at 770-707-1600 for a same day appointment
Anything could go wrong at some point that makes a refrigerator break down. The two major culprits for trouble are the motor and the compressor. These are repairs that can usually be done, but a professional needs to be called.
Now, if the refrigerator repair is electrical it could cause the motor to quit or run poorly. Check the refrigerator voltage before assuming it is a problem with the motor that could cause you to purchase a new refrigerator. Listen to any noises coming from the refrigerator because if there is a click sound that could mean a relay switch. The motor will then go on and off. If the voltage is lower than 110 volts check the fuse or circuit breaker. That could be the only problem and these items can be replaced easier as well as for less than the purchase of a new refrigerator.
Having an idea of what the problem could be will help you determine what needs to be done to repair the refrigerator including if it is something that you can do or if you need to hire a professional.

Larry O'Brien, writing about the possibility of a mobile phone being the consumers only client, had this to say:
Having used Sun's SunRay thin clients back in the dot-com days, I can attest to the user-friendliness of "plug and play" computing – put your smart card into any computer in the company and get your desktop. Very, very nice experience. However, I think the idea of a dumbed-down appliance-based OS has been tried and failed – WebTV springs to mind, Audrey, all of those things.
He continues relating his experience with SunRay clients at a recent tradeshow, and concludes "Thin clients suck".
At VON last week there were SunRay stations for attendees to log into and check email, etc, everywhere. Screens painted slowly, with frequent tears. The Sun browser was substandard, with obvious paints / repaints as CSS pages were rendered. The included VoIP phone had a primitive UI, and voice quality was substandard.
I think Sun makes great servers, but their thin clients, and their thin client religion, sucks.

YUCK: Customs seize smuggled restaurant-bound meat produced 40 YEARS ago
MEAT produced nearly 40 YEARS ago has been shipped to restaurants and markets by an underground network of smugglers, customs officials have claimed.
Police seized more than 100,000 tonnes of frozen meat products, some of which was produced in the 1970s, after busting the gangs.
The network would transport low-quality frozen pork, beef and chicken by trucks.
One customs officer said he "almost threw up" when inspecting storerooms filled with putrid meat.
"Most shocking of all was the discovery of meat products that had been produced 40 years ago in the 1970s."Customs official spokesman Wang Huang
The meat was allegedly treated with chemicals and bleached to appear fresh to potential buyers.
The underground network was turfed out by cops in 14 provinces across China.
Members from at least 21 smuggling gangs were detained over the seizures, which had a market value of around 3billion RMB (£305million).
The products were distributed around China by truck and were shipped over from Vietnam to Hong Kong.
Customs official spokesman Wang Huang said: "Most shocking of all was the discovery of meat products that had been produced 40 years ago in the 1970s."
Earlier this month fast food giant KFC was forced to deny a customer was served deep fried rat.
A photo emerged of a customer's meal appearing to have a tail.
The restaurant ran tests on the dish and found it was chicken and not rat.

Award-winning author, renowned poet and civil rights activist Dr. Maya Angelou died this morning at the age of 86, but girl, did she live a full life. The way that Dr. Angelou's life overflowed with incredible achievements and wisdom is not just admired by all, but her unwavering dedication to helping others will forever be appreciated. As will her perseverance during the toughest of times. Angelou's long and honorable journey devoted to social justice through activism, education, and the arts is an inspiration to all.
Despite having lived in segregated Arkansas, witnessed domestic violence in her childhood home, and worked as a single mother at the age of 17, Angelou never gave up. With an unfaltering commitment to her passions, she leaped over these obstacles only to lead an incredibly fulfilling life.
During a career that spanned over fifty years, Angelou published seven autobiographies, three books of essays, and a number of books of poetry. She is also credited with a sprawling list of plays, films, and television shows.
Angelou's courage and ambition is not just an inspiration to everyone everywhere, but she especially proves that women are unstoppable.
