News of sea piracy off the coast of Somalia has dominated headlines worldwide.

Family and Community History of the Winton Triangle
From Family History to Community History - the Chowan Discovery Group Story with Marvin T. Jones, Executive Director of the Chowan Discovery Group(CDG).
The mission of the Chowan Discovery Group is to research, document, preserve and present the 400+ year-old history of the landowning tri-racial people of color of the Winton Triangle, an area centered in Hertford County, North Carolina.
Founded in 2007, the Chowan Discovery Group (www.chowandiscovery.org) co-produced in 2009 its first major presentation, a stage production, scripted by Jones, called The Winton Triangle. The book, Carolina Genesis: Beyond the Color Line, features Jones’ summary of the Triangle’s history.
In addition to writing articles, Jones has made numerous presentations about the Winton Triangle’s history on national and regional radio, at colleges and universities, museums and to civic groups. The North Carolina Office of Archives and History accepted four of his nominations for highway historical markers.
A native of Cofield, a village in the Winton Triangle, Marvin Jones began this project a decade ago by scanning the photograph collection of relatives and neighbors. The Winton Triangle digital collection now has over 7000 files of photographs, documents, maps, audio and video recordings.
Jones is the owner of Marvin T. Jones & Associates, a professional photography company in Washington, DC. He has published in well-known magazines and has worked in South America, the Caribbean and Africa. Howard University and Roanoke-Chowan Community College hosted Jones’ exhibit on Somalia.

Episode 170: Stolen Seas; Tales of Somali Piracy
We have heard from industry, military leaders, Marines, and private security providers, this Sunday we are going to look at piracy at a more personal level with director Thymaya Payne of the documentary, Stolen Seas; Tales of Somali Piracy. He will be our guest for the full hour.
From the show promo:
The filmmakers have spent the past three years traveling to some of the world's most violent locales in order to make this documentary on Somali piracy, Stolen Seas. Utilizing exclusive interviews and unparalleled access to real pirates, hostages, hostages' relatives, ship-owners, pirate negotiators and experts on piracy and international policy, Stolen Seas presents a chilling exploration of the Somali pirate phenomenon.
The film throws the viewer, through audio recordings and found video, right into the middle of the real-life hostage negotiation of a Danish shipping vessel, the CEC Future. As the haggling between the ship's stoic owner Per Gullestrup, and the pirate's loquacious negotiator, Ishmael Ali, drags on for 70 days, these two adversaries' relationship takes an unexpected turn and an unlikely friendship is born.
Stolen Seas is an eye opening refutation of preconceived ideas on how or why piracy has become the world's most frightening multi-million dollar growth industry.Tags: Military Navy Piracy Documentary Somalia

Can Flirting Ever Be Harmless? feat. @S_Nayobe
On tonight's show, we'll discuss the art of flirting. Yes, there is an art to it. However, can flirting ever be harmless? I had a recent Twitter discussion with a young lady named Somalia. You may know her in the Twitterverse as @S_Nayobe. She said that guys flirt with no intent or care whatsoever. It made me wonder if guys flirt without even realizing it or not. The defintion of flirting is one of the things we'll try to get ironed out on tonight's show along with other related topics. Also on the show, pregnant shaming. In NYC, posters are being plastered across the area of babies crying with captions made out to the single mom/dad raising them. Things like: "I'm twice as likely not to graduate because you had me as a teen" or "Honestly Mom... chances are he won't stay with you." Is shaming someone an effective prevention tactic? These things and more on the Talk 2 Q Radio Show! "No experts. Just opinions." www
