StarTimes, UNESCO in Joint Campaign Against Dis- and Mis-Information on COVID-19

0

Nairobi, 30th July 2020. UNESCO, the UN Agency saddled with the promotion of freedom of expression and access to information aims to empower the society, with increased capacities of resilience in the face of “fake news” including dis- and mis-information that preceded the COVID 19 pandemic.

UNESCO’s launch of the campaign under Media and Information is designed to encourage young men and women to identify and leverage their creativity and innovation to combat mis- and disinformation on COVID-19.

In support of the campaign, StarTimes Media has leveraged on its online presence calling for increased attention and participation across its over 10 million followers. To further promote the best works of the campaign, access to the Top 10 winners’ videos is now available on StarTimes ON, the streaming video APP used by over 20 million users across Africa.

“To join the campaign against fake news on COVID-19 is part of the long term collaboration with UNESCO, we hope to further contribute to the local cultural development in near future. As a leading media group operated in Africa, we understand the responsibility to communicate true messages in time as we leverage on our network resources to reach the majority of the population.” said Luis Lu, the vice president of StarTimes Group.

COVID-19 pandemic didn’t just present a health challenge; it also brought potential danger in regular communication as a result of distortion of relevant information which also affects mental health.

The campaign against Dis- and Mis-Information on COVID-19″ provided a platform for the creative interpretation of the importance of authentic information regarding the pandemic.

Largest Oil Producers In Africa

0

This is a list of the largest oil producers in Africa, countries that were lucky to strike the black liquid within their boundaries.

Oil is what drives our manufacturing, transport, agricultural, and other important sectors of our economy. Indeed, fluctuations in oil prices cause tensions and send shivers all around the world.

So which are the largest oil producers in Africa? Here below is a complete list of countries that can stand up among other world countries and boast to be contributing to the production of the black gold to the market.

  • Nigeria
  • Libya
  • Angola
  • Egypt
  • Algeria

These 5 countries rank among the top 30 oil producing countries of the world. Let us look at each of them closer

Top 5 Largest Oil Producers in Africa

5.Egypt

The land of the Pharaohs is among the largest oil producers in Africa. As of 2019, the country steadily produced 630 thousand barrels a day.

Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC), a state-owned oil company has been the force behind the oil production in the country.  The company collaborates with several international oil companies in offshore and onshore production operations in Egypt.

To boost its oil production, the Egyptian government has worked to make the country more attractive to foreign investment. These reforms include reducing subsidies to EGPC and reducing the number of payments in arrears to international oil companies.

4. Libya

Libya has always been in the news for the wrong reasons, which revolve around the wars fought to take control of the country. However, behind these wars is the country’s oil industry. Libya, in 2019 produced 1.2 million barrels of oil, making it one of the top five producers of oil in Africa.

While Nigeria has the second-largest proven oil reserves in Africa, Libya is known to have the largest proven oil reserves. However, since the topping of its strongman Gaddaffi the former president, Libya has not been able to fully exploit its potential.

Libya oil reserves continue to fuel wars between the government and militias who are constantly at war, therefore cutting on production.

3. Algeria

Algeria is the 3rd largest oil producer in Africa producing 1.3 million barrels a day as of 2019. Due to controls by OPEC, this production has dropped from about 1.7 million barrels as the organizations seeks to control the oil prices.

Entreprise Nationale Sonatrach is Algeria’s state-owned oil and gas company, which continues to dominate the oil industry in Algeria.

Most of the oil produced from Algeria is exported to markets in Europe, which is in its proximity. BP, Total, and Exxon Mobile are the major international companies that operate in Algeria.

2. Angola

Sandwiched between DRC, Namibia, and Zambia is Angola. As of 2019, Angola produced 1.4 million barrels of oil. This was, however, a decline from 1.8 million the country had been producing by the year 2015.

Angola has both offshore and onshore oil wells that produce the countries’ millions of barrels, however, with the price of dropping, production had been reduced as agreed by OPEC ( Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ) an organization that Angola is a member.

Several significant international oil companies that operate in Angola include BP, Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Total, Statoil, Eni, and China National Offshore Oil Corporation, also known as CNOOC.

Agência Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos e Biocombustìveis (ANHB) is a new independent regulatory organization that currently controls the oil industry in Angola.

1. Nigeria

Nigeria is not only the most populous country on the continent but also the largest producer of oil in Africa. In 2019, Nigeria produced 2.1 million barrels per day making it among the top ten oil producers in the world.

According to the U.S Energy Information Administration, Nigeria has the second-largest known oil reserve in Africa. However, security issues and other business risks in the country have made it difficult for continued oil exploration.

This means that the country has a potential, to produce more oil if the issues highlighted above are solved. Though it is the largest economy on the African continent, corruption and high populations means that most people are still poor and have not yet tasted the fruits of living above Africa’s largest oil deposits.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), a state-owned corporation, is responsible for regulating the oil and gas sector in the country. Oil multinational companies such as Shell, Total, Eni, Exxon, Mobil, and Chevron operate in the country.

Other Oil Producing Countries In Africa

Though the countries above are the largest producers of oil Africa, they are other countries that produce substantial oil.

Other oil producers in Africa are

  • Sudan
  • South Sudan
  • Congo
  • Democratic Republic  of Congo
  • Equatorial Guinea
  • Gabon
  • Cameroon
  • Ghana

Conclusion

Several countries in Africa continue prospection oil within their boundaries in hope of striking it rich. However, until they do so, the five countries above remain the largest oil producers in Africa.

Kodak Shifts To Manufacturing Generic Drugs

0

Kodak to manufacture drugs: Kodak a company that most of us known to produce cameras and films in the past has now shifted the focus on manufacturing drugs.

The Company, otherwise called Eastman Kodak, and which for years dominated the camera and film industry until technology pushed them out of business, has found a new venture.  

According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, Kodak has bounced back and this time, not producing cameras but manufacturing drugs. This is after the company secured a 765 million dollars loan that will be used to manufacture drugs.

The more will create as many as 350 jobs in this new business venture and production is expected to top in the next 5 years where it is expected that it will account for 25% of all non-biologic, non-antibacterial generic pharmaceuticals.

The companies’ drug operation will be based on their existing Specialty Chemicals Group which is used for pharmaceuticals, industrial specialties, personal care, electronics, agrochemicals, graphics security and emerging energy technologies.

According to Jim Contineza, Kodak’s Chairman and CEO, the company expects the pharmaceutical ingredients to make up 30% to 40% of Kodak’s business over time, which could bring in the much need revenue.

The loan obtained by Kodak is of its kind under the US Defense Production Act, even as more pharmaceutical companies race against time to find a cure or vaccine for COVID-19.

Kodak’s venture into manufacturing drugs is no surprise given that many companies are struggling to stay afloat during this period.

Best Free To Air Decoders In Kenya You May Need To Consider

Best free to air decoders in Kenya: Digital TV now sits on a pedestal superior to the now wiped out analog TV. The advantages range from high-definition pictures to the awesome goodness of picking out what you want to see – assuming you aren’t using free to air decoders. The quality pictures come free of charge.

Subscribing to a digital set-top box of your choice will provide this experience and much more. Free to air channels, as I would like to think, are like our veteran KBC, NTV, KTN, and so forth. They will do the job just fine if everything you want is some news, several ill-placed old movies, and some stunning local talent.

1. Phelister Free To Air Digital Decoder Kenya

Design

This 0.92 kg PVC built free to air decoder is sleek in appearance especially the black arrow model. While the design still conforms to the segments of traditional cubical design. It is complementary to your television set. The manufacturer opted to have air vents atop the decoder to alleviate drought and to overheat associated with electronic gadgets.

Multiple buttons on the front face help in case you misplace your remote control. An additional USB slot that you can use to either charge you’re other gadgets or play files is available.

External Connections

Unfortunately, HDMI connections are not possible with this decoder due to lack of slots. Instead, regular colour coded RCA cable establish a connection between your decoder and television. Full HD 1080P c quality images for your TV sets transmitted from this decoder

PVR (Personal Video Recorder)

For those who have a hectic lifestyle, PVR function helps you watch your favorite programs or missed games by recording and saving them for later.

Remote Control

The decoder has a classic rectangular shape remote control complete with contrasting light colored buttons. It is worthy of note that it is relatively light in weight and should come in handy.

Additional Connections

The RF Loop output is found at the back of the decoder next to the RCA slots. If you have an extra TV set, you can use it to establish a secondary decoder connection and enjoy the channels

Verdict

This decoder lives up to its billing of being free to air and simple design. This gadget has a price range of 1500 to 2400 depending on the retail outlet of purchase. It is a fair bargain by all standards and within range of other free to air decoders in Kenya.

2. Sonar Digital Decoder/Free To Air

Design

This 0.2 Kg free to air top box departs from other designs given its mild steel outer casing. It has a distinction of having fewer buttons except for the power and channels buttons, reserving the rest of the functions to the remote control.

External Connections

Just like other brands in the segment, it has RCA connections to your television. In addition to this, there is a USB slot for playing other external material on your TV. An HDMI slot is also available at the back side allowing for high-quality sound and picture quality.

Remote Control

The remote control is relatively ergonomic and light. The design, however, is nothing noteworthy especially when it comes to design. The manufacturers opted for a more conservative model.

Additional Connections

Rf loop both in and output allows for multiple TV users to connect to the single decoder for perfect user experience.

Verdict

The decoder pricing is well in line with its peers in the free to air segment coming at a modest 1500 to 1800. Having high picture quality than other models, both  RC connectivity, HDMI, and USB connectivity makes this the perfect entertainment source for the family.

3. SAYONA Free to air Digital Set-top box

Design

Sayona 5 x 10 x 8 inches 0.8 Kg  PVC cover conforms to industry standards. It is one of the best free to air decoders in Kenya today. This makes it a standard decoder that is neither stunning nor decor friendly. It will get the job done nonetheless.

External Connections

The decoder has both HDMI and RCA slots for both high-quality picture and sounds for your latest Tv models.

Remote Control

The remote control design doesn’t have anything unique but simple. It is, however, ergonomic and uses two dry cells.

Additional Connections

It is easy to connect the set-top box with other television sets when you use the Rf output slot to link to another television.

Verdict

Sayona has delivered a pocket-friendly decoder. Not exactly anything unique since the overall design and technology employed is the same as other market leaders.

4. BAMBA TV Decoder

Radio Africa the Company behind the famous Kiss 100 is responsible for the BAMBA decoder.  With Bamba TV we are talking high-definition movies, high-definition pictures, high-definition everything. It is one of the best free to air decoders in Kenya you will see around.

The amusing fact about BAMBA TV is that it puts to shame all the famous GOTv and even DSTV channels when it comes to clarity. With BAMBA TV you get your radio channels and TV channels as clear as can be depending on your aerial’s direction. Simply put you can’t go wrong with BAMBA TV.

5. HotPoint FTA Decoder

For those individuals who would literally die for a Kenyan mix i.e. a collection of Kenyan channels. The decoder has a PVR feature that lets you record your favorite programs to a USB drive or a hard disk. With this decoder, you will have all the local channels 3 stones, channel 5 from Tanzania you name it. A total collection of 28 channels, gospel channels as well and no dish needed. That sounds like an awesome deal for the lovers of local talent.

6. Technosat TS 1500HD

Technosat has a reputation of creating great receivers. As much as this decoder is good innovation wise, the design is to die for. It’s more of a rugged design that has been made very easy to handle, I mean the ease of use of Technosat decoders is second to none.

From its name, you can tell that it’s an HD decoder. To top it up these are some of its best features: It’s a full HD MPEG 4 decoder, Blind scan ability it supports USB 2.0 PVR. These are the most critical features to me anyway.

7. Samsutech DVB-T2

Known as the housewife’s paradise you can get over 30 TV stations and various radio stations and this list is growing so you better watch out for this one.

This free to air decoder has a USB port through which you can play your videos, photographs and your favorite music which is sorted in portable gadgets, for example, Flash disks, Micro SD cards, cell telephones, external hard disks and so forth Through the same USB port you can record and save your most loved TV program, or music on a Flash disk and play it later through the PVR function.

I think it is safe to say that we all agree this is the best feature so far. It also has a parental control lock where you can rate or set certain TV programs as suitable or unsuitable for kids using a password lock.

8. Thy Word QC-XPLUS Series V DVB-T2/S2 Combo Receiver Set Top Box

First of all let’s talk about the physical features, the Thyword decoder/set-top box is silver in color and has a button at the front just like most free to air decoders. With this switch, you can switch off the decoder completely and not have it on standby mode. The genuine technical name of the Thyword decoder from what we can surmise is QC-X plus series V.

The Thyword decoder is a completely MPEG4 DVBT2/DVBS2 decoder. This means it can get Digital Video Broadcasting Channels through Terrestrial and in addition Satellite means by using an ordinary TV radio wire/ethereal and using a satellite dish(es). This is where the origins of “Combo” hail from.

Instead of owning a decoder and TV, you can opt for a digital TV that receives digital signals using an ordinary aerial. These only receive 40+ local channels, the same to most of these decoders mentioned here.

Best Android TV Boxes In Kenya

0

Best Android TV Boxes In Kenya: Android Decoders or TV boxes as more commonly known, have been increasingly getting popular in the market as big strides are being made in the field of smart devices, mobile processors, and High-Definition video.

As much as there are various companies that are in the business of making set-top boxes, the Android platform remains the strongest and most favored platform for most smart TV and decoder manufacturers.

In Kenya, internet reliant decoders have not been widely publicized and so they haven’t quite gotten as much attention as the classic one-way Broadcast TV decoders. Even so, with everything “going digital”, you might want to check out the following awesome android decoders that are smarter and aptly interactive.

Here below, we bring you the best android TV boxes in Kenya.

6 Best Android TV Boxes In Kenya You May Want to Try

1. Nvidia Shield

If you are a geek, you probably do not need any explanation of why this is the first choice here. For the rest, the Nvidia Shield Android streaming box is a standout device mainly for its best-in-class hardware, gaming, and connectivity package.

Firstly, for HD video enthusiasts, it supports 4K streaming from the locally available providers such as YouTube and Netflix. It also includes a game controller instead of a classic remote, which when coupled with its high-performance hardware, should appeal to people with large collections of Android games and a love for big screens.

You also get a wide array of ports, for connecting your other gadgets and even expanding the storage with a micro SD card. Nonetheless, this Android TV beast trying to rival the Xbox and PlayStation will set you back a little over 20K.

2. Google Nexus Player

As you all know by now, everything Android is basically Google and so the mother company would never miss out on the opportunities it creates. That being said, the Google Nexus Android decoder is a simpler and cheaper box than the Shield, and is ideally paired with an actual remote.

The device basically propels its users to be the forerunners of Android TV while also allowing them to cast/project content from their tablets or phones as with the esteemed Chromecast dongle.

The Nexus Player also features a rather powerful Quad Core processor clocked at 1.8GHz paired with a PowerVR graphics engine and 1GB of RAM for gaming enthusiasts. On a less positive note, it only features an HDMI and MicroUSB port, a meager 8 Gigabytes of storage and is Google-biased – unless you are loyal.

3. Amazon Fire TV

The Amazon Fire set-top box is a well designed and preloaded streaming box with over 3000 apps and a variety of nifty features such as parental controls and an integrated digital voice assistant. More so, it is arguably the best valued 4K streaming device with hundreds of games and expandable storage.

The box runs a highly customized version of Android from Amazon which goes to explain why it hard sells Amazon Prime content both in search and interface. Other streaming services like Netflix, Hulu and HBO are shunted such that you can only get them in the “More Options” categories.

All in all, the device is pretty slick and for a price of around 10K, you get a pretty decent decoder, for both your online and offline streaming needs, that is also game-worthy.

All in all, the device is pretty slick and for a price of around 10K, you should be get a pretty decent decoder, for both your online and offline streaming needs, that is also game-worthy.

4. Matricom G-Box

This is another highly popular (Number 1 Best Seller on Amazon Store) Android decoder with a fairly nice set of features for optimal performance and streaming experience.

The newest model runs a purist version of android powered by an Octa-Core and 3D Graphic processor which guarantees smooth playback of your favorite content. For those who relish freedom, this is an unrestricted set-top box which allows you to sideload all your favorite applications and customize it the way you like.

It also features full integration and support for KODI TV, 8 Gigabytes of internal storage and the capacity to play Full HD videos (no 4K video). For all that and an unconditional warranty of 12 months, this is deal breaking Android decoder that costs a little less the 10K.

5. The Big Box

When it boils down to availability, Safaricom’s own Big Box Android set-top box is rivaled by none. The Kenyan super brand hypes its Android decoder as the ultimate solution for local media and internet consumers for the fact that users can easily use the company’s broadband data plans even though they actually cost an arm and a leg when compared to cable internet.

On a positive note, the device features an Ethernet port as well as an SD card expansion slot, for offline playback, and a classic USB port. The box also includes a full-buttoned remote albeit too traditional for this digital era and actual interface productivity. It has to be said that even though it is fairly priced compared to the others mentioned here, it is also a bit run-down, touting an outdated version of Android and an amateurish UI.

All these decoders are available locally although some of them are hard to find in the local stores and therefore need to sort out in reputable online stores. For new buyers, it is also important to note that nearly all Android boxes require HDMI connection and it would be wise to confirm TV compatibility before purchase.

Similarly, a decent Internet connection, preferably Wi-Fi, is crucial for streaming videos or games, especially during peak evening hours. You may also want to consider a universal remote if you would like to enjoy the convenience of using one remote for all your living room devices.

6 Ematic DV8235

Last but not least is the Ematic DV8235 that was recently introduced by Safaricom in the market recently. You can read about its full specifications and price here.

It is one of the best Android TV boxes in the market today.
