LAWRENCE ' LARY' PAGE:Google co-founder

Larry Page
Google's co-founder.

Larry Page was born Lawrence Page on March 26, 1973, in East Lansing, Michigan. His father, Carl Page, was a pioneer in computer science and artificial intelligence, and his mother taught computer programming. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from the University of Michigan, Page decided to concentrate on computer engineering at Stanford University, where he met Sergey Brin.
As a research project at Stanford University, Page and Brin created a search engine that listed results according to the popularity of the pages, after concluding that the most popular result would often be the most useful. They called the search engine "Google" after the mathematical term "googol," which refers to the No. 1 followed by 100 zeros, to reflect their mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web.
After raising $1 million from family, friends and other investors, the pair launched the company in 1998. Google has since become the world's most popular search engine, receiving an average of 5.9 billion searches per day in 2013. Headquartered in the heart of California's Silicon Valley, Google held its initial public offering in August 2004, making Page and Brin billionaires.
In 2006, Google purchased the most popular website for user-submitted streaming videos, YouTube, for $1.65 billion in stock.
In September 2013, Page was ranked No. 13 on the "Forbes 400" list of the richest people in America. That October, he was ranked No. 17 on Forbes' 2013 "Most Powerful People" list. Now serving as Google's CEO, Page continues to share responsibility for the company's day-to-day operations with Brin, who now serves as director of special projects for Google, and Eric Schmidt, the company's executive chairman.

Lupita Nyong'o : DREAMS COMING TRUE

 Lupita Nyong’o was born in Mexico to Kenyan parents of the Luo nation (also President Obama’s people). Her first name is traditionally Mexican, and her surname is very rare in Kenya. Her father, Peter Anyang Nyong’o, a politician — and now a member of the Kenyan parliament — at one time sought refuge in Mexico. When it was safe to return, he took the family back to Kenya. Lupita was raised in Nairobi.

  Before her international career launched, Lupita was cast in the Kenyan TV series “Shuga: Love, Sex, Money” in 2008. A popular, and sometimes controversial series commissioned by MTVBase, it chronicled the coming of age of a group of young Kenyans experiencing sexual awakenings. The main objective of the series was to spread HIV/AIDS awareness. Here is a link to some scenes on youtube.

 Lupita enrolled in the film and theater studies program at Hampshire College in Massachusetts. She plowed her way through the four-year program ambitiously; where most students were required to make two films, Lupita made five. Professors lauded her for her passion and hard work. This led to high points in her early film career.

 And this was even before Yale! Thinking she wanted her plan B to be film making, she didn’t hold back. In 2009, Lupita wrote, directed, and produced “In My Genes.” The documentary followed Agnes, a Kenyan who is part of the country’s underserved albino population. Anticipate more filmmaking work from Lupita, it’s in her genes as well. You can watch that movie trailer on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkrfrCAfxnk

The diploma wasn’t even in her hand yet, when she sent a tape in to the casting director of “12 Years a Slave.” When finally making it out to Los Angeles for a face-to-face with casting director Francine Maisler, Lupita was sideswiped by the intense audition process. The audition required her to enter promptly into the most grueling, violent moments of her character’s scenes. Back in Connecticut, sunbathing, she received a phone call from the director, Steve McQueen. The rest is history!

 Lupita leaped into the role with a mixture of fervor and understandable trepidation. In Solomon Northrup’s biography upon which the film is based, the author described the stunning impression Patsey made on him: “(She had) an air of loftiness, that neither labor nor lash could rid of her.” It was up to Lupita to find this hard blend, a mixture of childlike hopefulness despite her unspeakable sadness and anguish

On Jan. 16, Lupita’s name was mentioned with four other talented actresses as a nominee for the Best Supporting Actress of 2013. She is pictured above at the Golden Globes  in Ralph Lauren, where her carpet walk caused a sensation; she was included on tons of best-
dressed lists including Vanity Fair, Huffington Post, and Today.com. We can’t wait to see her Oscar dress

Already a part of upcoming films, like the Liam Neeson vehicle “Non-Stop,” to be released in February. She is also the new face of Miu Miu, and has graced the covers of “Dazed and Confused” and “W.” While she will certainly not be wearing her new “It” girl status materialistically, we anticipate both important film roles and her smiling, gorgeous presence at awards shows in the near future. The winner is Lupita Nyong’o!!

JK AWAPA TAHADHARI WANA HABARI

Rais Jakaya Kikwete ametoa wito kwa waandishi wa habari kutoandika habari zenye kuchochea vurugu kwani kwa kufanya hivyo wanaweza kujikuta wakiwa matatani.
Kikwete alisema hayo juzi wakati akifunga kongamano la kutafuta amani lililoandaliwa na Kituo cha Demokrasia Tanzania (TCD).
“ Unaweza kuandika au kutangaza habari ya uchochezi leo, lakini vurugu zikitokea hata kama ni baada ya miaka 20 utatafutwa na kushtakiwa kwa habari hiyo,” alisema Kikwete.
Akitoa mfano, Kikwete alisema nchi za Rwanda na Kenya ni mifano hai kwa kuwa kuna waandishi wa habari ambao walishtakiwa pamoja na wanasiasa kwa uchochezi na kusababisha machafuko.
 “Nawakumbusha waandishi kuweni makini kwa habari mnazoziandika na kuzitangaza kwa kuwa mna uwezo wa kujenga na kubomoa,” alisema
Alisema vyombo vya habari,siasa  na dini vikitumiwa vibaya ni rahisi kusababisha vurugu zenye kuhatarisha maisha ya wananchi.
Alitaka TCD kuandaa kongamano kama hilo kwa ajili ya waandishi wa habari wakiwa ni wadau katika kutafuta amani.
Mwenyekiti wa TCD, James Mbatia akitoa maazimio ya kongamano hilo, alisema viongozi waandamizi wa serikali wajizuie kutumia lugha za vitisho.
Alisema pia kongamano hilo limeazimia kwamba kituo hicho kiwe karibu na vyombo vya habari na kuwahimiza kuandika habari zenye uzalendo na mshikamano wa kitaifa.

Dk.ASHA ROSE MINGIRO NA KATIBA

Aliyekuwa Naibu Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa Dk Asha Rose Migiro
SOURCE:Mwananchi Newspapers

Tume ya mabadiliko ya Katiba imetangaza Rasimu ya Katiba ambayo imetoa sura mpya ya muelekeo wa Taifa.Rasimu hiyo ilizinduliwa rasmi jijini Dar es Salaam Juni tatu mwaka huu na Makamu wa Rais Dk, Mohamed Gharibu Bilali.
Baadhi ya mambo yaliyopendekezwa na kutoa sura mpya ya Taifa ni pamoja na kuwa na Serikali tatu, Spika wa Bunge kutokuwa Mbunge wala mwanachama wa chama cha siasa.
Mengine ni kuwepo na mgombea binafsi jambo ambalo litatoa fursa kwa wananchi kushiriki kugombea nafasi mbalimbali za uongozi.
Wakati wa uzinduzi wa rasimu hiyo wadau mbalimbali walijitokeza kuhudhuria sherehe za uzinduzi huo ambapo wapo waliyopongeza hatua hiyo na wengine kulalamika kwamba kuna baadhi ya mambo yameachwa.
Wagombea binafsi
Jambo kubwa ambalo lilifurahiwa na kuungwa mkono na watu wengi wakiwamo viongozi wa juu wa serikali na wa kimataifa kuruhusiwa kuwepo kwa mgombea binafsi.
Kwa mujibu wa Tume ya Katiba kupitia Mwenyekiti wake Jaji mstaafu Joseph Warioa anasema Tume imeridhia kuwa na mgombea binafsi baada ya kuchambua maoni mengi yaliyotolewa na wananchi.
Hiyo inamaana kwamba kila Mtanzania atakuwa na haki ya msingi ya kugombea nafasi yoyote ya uongozi anayo itaka ndani ya nchi.
Lakini jambo hilo liliungwa mkono na aliyekuwa Naibu Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa Dk Asha Rose Migiro ambaye naye alihudhuria sherehe za uzinduzi huo na kupata nafasi ya kutoa maoni yake kuhusu mapendekezo yaliyomo kwenye rasimu hiyo. Dk Migiro anasema hatua hiyo ni nzuri na itasadia wananchi kupata fursa ya kushiriki kuomba nafasi za uongozi wanazozitaka.
Anasema jambo hilo litazidi kuimarisha demokrasia ya nchi na kwamba huu ndiyo wakati sahihi wa wananchi kushiriki kwa wingi kugombea nafasi mbalimbali za uongozi wanazozitaka.
“Mimi nimevutiwa sana na Rasimu ya Katiba kuwapa nafasi wananchi kuweza kugombea nafasi mbalimbali za uongozi kwani hiyo itakuwa fursa nzuri kwao kuonyesha uwezo wao,” anasema Migiro.Anasema kitu kikubwa alichokuwa anakifikiri ni kwamba Tanzania itaweza kuandika historia ya kutengeneza Katiba kwa njia ya amani.
“Mimi nilipokuwa Naibu Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa nilikuwa nafikiria sana suala la Katiba. Kitu kikubwa ni kwamba Tanzania itaandika historia ya kutengeneza Katiba kwa njia ya amani.”
Dk Migiro anaeleza kuwa jambo hilo limefanikiwa na sasa Tanzania inaandika historia katika nchi za Afrika kwa kuwa na Katiba iliyowashirikisha wananchi na iliyoundwa kwa njia ya amani.

UKUMBI KWA AJILI YA BUNGE LA KATIBA SASA KUKAMILIKA

DODOMA
Matengenezo yaliyotarajiwa ndani ya ukumbi wa bunge la Muungano ambao ndio utakaotumika kwa bunge la Katiba, yamekamilika na sasa ukumbi huo uko tayari kwa kazi inayotarajia kuanza Februari 18 mwaka huu.
Kukamilika kwa ukumbi huo kunaondoa hofu iliyoanza kutanda kuwa huenda bunge hilo lingesogezwa mbele kwa siku tatu kwani kulikuwa na mashaka kwa kazi hiyo.
Jana Waziri wa Nchi, Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu, Sera, Uratibu na Bunge, William Lukuvi alitembelea ukumbi huo kwa mara ya mwisho na kujiridhisha katika maeneo muhimu yaliyokuwa yakifanyiwa marekebisho .
Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari ndani ya ukumbi huo, Lukuvi alisema tayari viti 676 vimeshafungwa pamoja vipaza sauti vyake ambavyo Rais Jakaya Kikwete alionyesha mashaka kama vingekamilika kwa wakati.
Februari Mosi, Rais Kikwete alipita kukagua ukumbi huo wakati akielekea mkoani Mbeya ambapo alionyesha kutokuridhika hasa akatilia mashaka katika eneo la vipaza sauti ambako alisema kuwa bado kulikuwa na kazi kubwa ya kufanya.
Hata hivyo, jana Lukuvi licha ya kushuhudia kuwa vimefungwa katika viti vyote, lakini alipotakiwa na waandishi kuwasha kwa majaribio, wajenzi wa ukumbi walizuia na kusema kitaalamu hakutakiwa kuwasha jana kwani kazi ilikuwa bado inaendelea.
Alisema kuwa Ofisi ya Bunge imeshatafuta kumbi nyingine nje ya bunge kwa ajili ya kufanyika mikutano ambayo itahitaji wajumbe zaidi ya 60.
