	The Uros of Lake Titicaca - The World & I Online Magazine
		But the last pure Uro had died many years before; the man at the stone mill, part of a mixed Uro-Aymara group, was the last person still able to speak the Uro language in this part of the marshes.
		The bay dried, the totora shriveled, the fish died, the birds flew away, and the Uros were left on dry land without resources.
		The Uros were so abjectly poor and dirty that, to emphasize their scorn and force them to delouse themselves, the Incas only exacted from them a tribute of lice.

	Andrys' Peru photos: The Uros - by Miranda France
		The Uros have no electricity or plumbing and must "do their necessities," as they put it, wherever they can: off the side of a boat, behind the house if it is dark, or squatting on a wooden platform in a shallow potato field.
		Uros families are extended in that married couples set up house near their parents, or in-laws, and continue to eat with them and share many tasks.
		Uros men used to fish around the islands at night, but depleted stocks have driven them deeper into the lake, and now they go on three-day missions once a week, leaving their wives in charge of the house, and of the family business.

	[No title]
		UROŠ DOJCINOVIC - guitarist, composer, pedagogue, and publisher - was born in Belgrade, Serbia (Yugoslavia) in 1959.
		UROŠ DOJCINOVIC won admiration and the sympathy of large audiences, as well as the highest judgements of music critics at more than three thousand concerts, performing repertoire which included more than three hundred compositions from different composers such as Dowland, Sanz, Bach, Händel, Scarlatti, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Segovia, and many others.
		It is very likely that Mijo Bockaj, the greatest Croatian guitar maker, expressed on the best judgements of Uroš Dojcinovic’s mastery, skill, and most distinguished art in 1976 by saying that his instrument sounded quite different in Dojcinovic’s hands — that Dojcinovic felt the soul of his guitar.
