What Kind Of Weave Does Rihanna Have

Serge IBAK the Magnificent

A star is trying to shine the Congo - Brazzaville past two years, and we hear more and more the name of this talented basketball player: Serge IBAK . Born in 1989 in Brazzaville, the boy is now moving into the team to Oklahoma City- Thunders. For those who are not familiar with the NBA championship of the United States, Oklahoma City-Thunder is not a second-team since last year she was a finalist for "play-offs against to Los Angeles Lakers. In case of victory the team could then become world champion. The championship was finally won by the Los Angeles Lakers . It has, however, show the eyes of the world a very young team, dynamic and promising future. This is also demonstrated by his current course in the meetings this season, meetings that will lead to "play-offs 2011. Oklahoma will be the light of current results. This team which is indeed changing IBAK placed to date in the fourth championship Western Conference, just behind the famous San Antonio Spurs (Tony Parker), the Los Angeles- Lackers and Dallas Mavericks . This means that "small" have become major ...

I write this brief tonight watching the game between Oklahoma City the New Orleans Hornets-, another big name. IBAK is extraordinary defense, blocking all attempts to baskets of one player from New Orleans, David West .
The Congolese have "practiced" in France (Prissé Macon) and then in the English league in 2008 before applying to the NBA where he was first chosen (draft) in 24 th position by Team Seattle, the SuperSonics before becoming a rising star of Oklahoma City- Thunders alongside other very young stars of his team, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook (a former student of my university, UCLA).
Good luck to this new star to our happiness and honor!

Engineers Who Invented Cars

Botswana (Bechuanaland ex)

.

Botswana is a southern African countries without access to the sea, surrounded South Africa's south and southeast, Namibia to the west, Zambia to the north and Zimbabwe to the northeast. The inhabitants are called Batswana. Formerly the British protectorate of Bechuanaland was. Botswana adopted its name after becoming independent within the Commonwealth on 30 September 1966. Its capital is Gaborone. Its economy is mainly linked to its neighbor South Africa, dominated by services (43% share of GNP in 1999), mining (48%), industries (4%) and agriculture (5%).



A little history

Following requests for assistance launched by the Botswana leaders Khama III, Bathoen and Sebele, the British government puts Bechuanaland under his protection March 31, 1885. The northern part of the territory came under direct rule as a protectorate of Bechuanaland, Botswana forming the current.

In June 1964, Great Britain accepts proposals for the establishment of a democratically elected autonomous government in Botswana. In 1965, the seat of government was moved from Mafikeng in South Africa, to newly established Gaborone. The constitution of 1965 led to early general elections and independence , September 30, 1966.

Today

Botswana could easily pass for a model of economic success on the African continent. He built his future on a democratic government, stable, competent and not corrupt (Transparency International regularly ranks as the least corrupt country in Africa), prudent management and a basement diamond-rich (which is the third largest producer) and minerals (copper, nickel), but also coal and oil.
In fact, this is the only country in the world could see, during the period 1970-2000, an average annual growth of almost 9% and is also the only country that could have left the group of countries the least developed in 1984.

This theoretical richness, however, is threatened by excessive dependence of the economy vis-à-vis the mining sector and by AIDS epidemic raging in all segments of the population (nearly one in three adults is infected).



To stamp collecting, we note two periods:

The period of the protectorate dominated by programs devoted to the royal family of England
(1885-1966)


the 75th anniversary issue UPU .....





The period after independence with much more varied programming (1966-present)


emission in the 100 th anniversary of the UPU
