DStv Eutelsat Star Awards: Namibian Essay Finalist

A week away from final judging of the DStv Eutelsat Star Awards, the student competition which drew over a 1,000 entries across the African continent and encouraged students to write either an essay or design a poster about the benefits of satellite technology in the continent,  the Ghanaian government has put its weight behind the third edition of this unique event and confirmed Minister of Education, Honourable Naan Opoku-Agyeman, as guest speaker at a prestigious gala dinner to be held at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Accra, Ghana, on the 5th of February 2014.

Industry players will gather for the announcement of the essay winner who will walk away with a once-in-a lifetime prize to see a rocket launch into space and a trip for the poster category winner to Eutelsat’s headquarters in Paris. In the spotlight for the final prize are finalists from 13 countries in Africa: Shiela Gerardo (Angola); Ulathi Mkwebu (Botswana); Maame Akua Kome (Ghana); Lavine Oluoch (Kenya); Michael Kauatjitotje (Namibia); Taiwo Kayode (Nigeria); Kanzira Aine (Senegal); Eshlin Vedan (South Africa); Wakhile Shongwe (Swaziland); Fransisco Kibasa (Tanzania); Victor Okoth (Uganda); Francine Mazala (Zambia) and Thabani Sibanda (Zimbabwe).

When the organisers, MultiChoice Africa and Eutelsat, set their sights on Accra for the awards they collaborated to create meaningful engagements with students, the academic community and the scientific world in order to leave a lasting legacy in the hearts and minds of the young people of Ghana and to instill a passion for science in the younger generation. Students in Accra are gearing up to attend a captivating lecture to be delivered by the Italian (European Space Agency) astronaut, Paolo Nespoli, on Tuesday, 4 February 2014 which will be held at the University of Ghana. Nespoli, who will also be presiding over the awards as jury chairman assisted by a panel of skilled, industry experts, will share his adventures in space with his first flight in 2007 and a second long-duration mission on board the International Space Station in 2010.

In support of this initiative, CEO of MultiChoice Africa, Nico Meyer, said: “As a business, we understand the incredible value of collaborative relationships with governments and the returns yielded by communities when public and private sectors come together. We are very pleased by the government’s overwhelming support for the DStv Eutelsat Star Awards initiative and we are honoured to also have the Minister of Environment, Science and Technology, Honourable Joseph Oteng-Adjei, scheduled to address Ghanaian students at the outreach lecture. It sends a very clear message about the importance of science and technology in today’s digital landscape. Digital services made available by satellite are growing in importance as powerful engines to drive economic and social progress.”

Chairman and CEO of Eutelsat, Michel de Rosen, commented on the far-reaching impact of the awards over the last 3 years.  “The number of entries received this year is a truly encouraging new milestone. Equally exciting is the turnout of young people in great numbers at the student outreaches held in local communities. It is an excellent indicator that Africa’s young minds are hungry to acquire knowledge and skills that will position them a cut above the rest. At Eutelsat, we are keenly aware that there can be no sustainable development in high technology environments without engineers, technicians and teachers to propel and stimulate young minds to the next stage.

We owe much of the emergence of this new generation of aspirant scientists who will change the world, to these Awards.”

  1. Saya Fitriani Suhesti dari kota Medan. Saya melihat postingan ibu Yanti Ari dengan detailnya bagaimana dia meminjam dari Guaranty Trust Loans untuk memulihkan usahanya dan juga mengembangkan usahanya. Ibu berkata dia tinggal di kota Medan dan saya tinggal di kota itu jadi saya memutuskan untuk menghubunginya karena saya telah kehilangan 16 juta karena penipuan hanya karena saya membutuhkan pinjaman untuk mengembangkan bisnis saya.

    Di bawah ini adalah informasinya yang saya lihat dan yang saya hubungi.

    nama ibu: Yanti Ari
    nomor telepon: +62821-1644-0184
    Nomor Whatsapp: +62821-1644-0184
    Kota: Medan
    email ibu: ariy6261@gmail.com
    Setelah saya menghubungi ibu yanti dia menceritakan semua yang perlu saya ketahui dan dia berkata kepada saya bahwa setelah saya menghubungi Guaranty Trust Loans dan menerima pinjaman saya, saya harus mencoba untuk membagikan cerita saya agar orang lain yang membutuhkan pinjaman dapat diandalkan perusahaan dapat diselamatkan dari orang-orang curang yang bukan pemberi pinjaman.

    Jadi saya mengajukan pinjaman sejumlah 500 juta Rupiah, dan mereka meminta kredensial saya yang saya serahkan dan setelah mereka selesai memverifikasi detail saya, pinjaman itu disetujui untuk saya dan saya pikir itu adalah lelucon dan mungkin itu salah satu penipuan yang membuat saya kehilangan uang, tetapi karena ibu Yanti berasal dari Medan dan saya melihat buktinya jadi saya mempercayai mereka, saya kagum ketika saya mendapatkan pinjaman dalam waktu kurang dari 24 jam dengan bunga rendah 2% tanpa jaminan. Saya sangat senang bahwa Allah memakai ibu yanti yang menghubungi mereka dan memperkenalkan saya kepada mereka dan karena saya diselamatkan dari pemberi pinjaman palsu dan juga akan mewujudkan impian bisnis saya.

    Jadi saya menyarankan semua orang yang tinggal di Indonesia, Malaysia dan belahan dunia lain yang membutuhkan pinjaman untuk satu tujuan atau yang lain untuk menghubungi Guaranty Trust Loans dan di bawah ini adalah detail mereka
    email: (anamichaelguarantytrustloans@gmail.com)

  2. Salam kepada semua warga negara Indonesia, nama saya Yeyes Ristintares tolong, saya ingin membagikan kesaksian hidup saya di sini di platform ini agar semua warga negara Indonesia berhati-hati dengan pemberi pinjaman di internet, Allah benar-benar mendukung saya melalui kebaikan Ibu Ny. Helen Wilson. Setelah beberapa periode mencoba untuk mendapatkan pinjaman dari lembaga keuangan, dan ditolak, jadi saya memutuskan untuk mendaftar melalui pinjaman online tetapi saya ditipu dan saya kehilangan lebih dari 32 juta Rupiah dengan pemberi pinjaman yang berbeda setelah membayar beberapa biaya dan tidak mendapatkan pinjaman. Saya menjadi sangat putus asa dalam mendapatkan pinjaman, jadi saya berdiskusi dengan seorang teman saya yang kemudian memperkenalkan saya kepada Ny. Helen Wilson, pemberi pinjaman di perusahaan, jadi teman saya meminta saya untuk melamar dari ibu Helen, jadi saya memanggil keberanian dan menghubungi Ibu Helen.

    Saya mengajukan pinjaman 900 juta dengan tingkat bunga 2%, sehingga pinjaman itu disetujui tanpa tekanan dan semua pengaturan dibuat pada transfer kredit, karena fakta bahwa itu tidak memerlukan jaminan dan jaminan untuk pinjaman transfer saya hanya diberitahu untuk mendapatkan sertifikat perjanjian lisensi aplikasi mereka untuk mentransfer kredit saya dan dalam waktu kurang dari 48 jam uang pinjaman telah disetorkan ke rekening bank saya.

    Saya pikir itu lelucon sampai saya menerima telepon dari bank saya bahwa akun saya dikreditkan dengan jumlah 900 juta. Saya sangat senang bahwa Allah akhirnya menjawab doa saya dengan memesan pinjaman saya dengan pinjaman asli saya, yang memberi saya keinginan hati saya. mereka juga memiliki tim ahli yang akan memberi tahu Anda tentang jenis bisnis yang ingin Anda investasikan dan cara menginvestasikan uang Anda, sehingga Anda tidak akan pernah bangkrut lagi dalam hidup Anda. Semoga ALLAH memberkati Ny. Helen Wilson untuk membuat hidup saya mudah, jadi saya menyarankan siapa pun yang tertarik mendapatkan pinjaman untuk menghubungi Ny. Helen melalui email: (helenwilson719@gmail.com) atau Whatsapp: + 1-585-326-2165 untuk Anda pinjaman

    Ada perusahaan palsu lain yang menggunakan kesaksian saya secara online untuk mencapai keinginan egois mereka, saya satu-satunya dengan kesaksian yang benar ini, harap berhati-hati terhadap orang-orang ini. Akhirnya saya ingin berterima kasih kepada Anda semua karena telah meluangkan waktu untuk membaca kesaksian sejati hidup saya tentang kesuksesan saya dan saya berdoa Allah akan melakukan kehendak-Nya dalam hidup Anda. Sekali lagi nama saya Yeyes Ristintares, Anda dapat menghubungi saya untuk informasi lebih lanjut melalui email saya: yristintares@gmail.com

PRESS RELEASE: Insight Namibia Magazine Celebrates 100th Edition (September 2013)

In a magazine market known for its fly-by-nights and flash-in-the-pans, Insight Namibia cc marks its 100th monthly edition with the September 2013 issue . The first edition appeared in September 2004 and throughout the last nine years, Insight maintained its position as Namibia's premier current affairs magazine . Originally started and currently based in Windhoek, Namibia, the magazine's founders, Robin Sherbourne, David Lush and Tangeni Amupadhi,  journalists in their own right, at the time (2004) wrote that Insight was 'born out of a feeling that Namibians yearn for more than just hard news.' Readers were promised a publication that went beyond the daily headlines and covered 'the story behind the story' . The magazine was not started with a bank loan; the pioneers pooled their savings to get it off the ground and to this day, that same financial discipline, has ensured that Insight has never taken a loan to cover its operating, printing and overhead cos

Tattoo: Ethiopian Coptic Cross (Meskel) Design

     C hristianity arrived on the shores of southern Africa approximately 600 years ago, and unbeknownst to the bright-eyed European missionaries who disembarked from sodden ships at the Cape of Good Hope, it had been practiced on the African continent, and flourished as an independent religion for almost 1,000 years before, in Ethiopia. Today, the oldest Christian faith on the continent, rumoured to be closest in resembling early Christianity, is the Ethiopian Coptic Church (or the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church).      The cross is the popular universal symbol of Christianity and across the world, in every Christian community, it remains within the parameters of a simple design (+) , almost 2,000 years old. The Ethiopian Coptic Church is the only known Christian community that produces a remarkable version of the cross, called ''meskel''; even more remarkable, this development occurred independent of the influence of European Christianity. Meskel patterns and des
