Why #HuaweiNova9 Is A #vlogger's Dream? @HuaweiZA #BeInspiredBenova

Hi Friends, 

The brand-new HUAWEI nova 9 is here, and if you’re a vlogger with great ambitions of taking over the internet, this is the device for you.

For the first time in the HUAWEI nova Series, the HUAWEI nova 9 features Huawei’s impressive flagship-grade camera technology. These features come together to create sharp, vivid, professional-looking photographs and videos that are ready for your social pages with only the bare minimum of editing. Here’s what you can look forward to.

The HUAWEI nova 9 features a powerful 50MP ultra-vision camera system that includes an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a macro camera and a depth camera. These lenses use an RYYB colour filter array, which helps them to capture 40% more light and an XD Fusion Engine, which uses sophisticated computational photography techniques to enhance the detail and quality of your pictures.

Whether you’re taking night photos, panoramas, portraits, close-ups or action shots, the HUAWEI nova 9 enables you to capture high-quality images at almost pro-grade clarity.

All of these impressive photographic features also apply to the device’s video functionality. If you want to become an active vlogger, or you simply enjoy sharing videos of your life with your family and friends, the video capabilities of the HUAWEI nova 9 are sure to impress.

The HUAWEI nova 9 features a 32MP high-res front camera, which also supports 4K video capture and AI image stabilisation. This means you can capture high-definition footage of yourself while you talk to the camera without appearing unstable or out of focus.

The device’s continuous front/rear recording feature also allows you to switch between the front and rear cameras easily. Now you can seamlessly capture the world around you in a single video file. Dual-view video recording, which simultaneously uses the front and rear cameras, also allow you to showcase your live reactions to things happening around you. No editing is required!

With the HUAWEI nova 9’s Petal Clip app, you can choose from a variety of video templates and themes before posting your vlogs or other videos to social media. The HUAWEI nova 9’s video search and one-click video creation feature also help to streamline complicated editing processes. All you need to do is enter a keyword for the images or videos you’re trying to find in your gallery, and your smartphone will intelligently identify any relevant shots. Click “edit” once and create your very own masterpiece.

Of course, in true Huawei fashion, the HUAWEI nova 9 isn’t just powerful, it’s also beautiful to look at and to hold. The HUAWEI nova 9 has a stunning 6.57-inch Original-Colour Curved Display with a tapered surface that feels smooth and natural in your hand. Its designers have also minimised the left and right bezels for a more immersive viewing experience.

Measuring only 7.77mm thick and weighing just 175g, the HUAWEI nova 9 features a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and a touch sampling rate of 300Hz for an immediate response to even the lightest touch. It also boasts a powerful processor, excellent battery life and Huawei’s 66W SuperCharge for lightning-fast charging speeds.

If you’re a photographer or vlogger who prioritises superior performance and jaw-dropping looks, then you deserve the HUAWEI nova 9, which is available in two shimmering colours – Starry Blue and Black.

Pre-order the HUAWEI nova 9, priced at R12,999, between 26 and 30 November and you’ll receive a HUAWEI FreeLace, as well as a free HUAWEI Watch GT (valued at R3,699). Pay an R99 deposit when you pre-order and get R1,499 off. Ts and Cs apply.

Celebrating The Spirit of Generousity Through The Tastic Education Fund #60YearsOfTastic #MoreThanJustRice #PerfectPartnership @tasticricesa

Hi Friends, 

At the beginning of 2021, Tastic in collaboration with Laduma Ngxokolo was able to raise over R730 000.00 which benefited 30 deserving tertiary students in need of assistance towards their tertiary fees, living up to the true brand purpose of true generosity. In celebration of 60years of perfect partnership, Tastic has partnered continue the Tastic Education fund in a bid to aid tertiary students to quality education. This year Tastic and Mukheli twins (in collaboration with and Sthu Manaka who form part of the Art My Loves, a movement which educates the market, enables art lovers, fans and collectors’ access to their work), aims to raise up to R 1 000 000,00 in the bid to afford 60 deserving students in 2021 to have access to quality education through the Tastic fund. This was launched through an intimate art exhibition at the home of fine art and tasteful culinary experiences, Rosebank.

The robust art collection which comprised of the Trio’s work will be exhibited at the heart of Rosebank on Trumpet on Keyes from the 18th November till 9th December where it will then be auctioned and sold. Proceeds from the auction will go towards continuing the Tastic Legacy Educational fund that will enable deserving students who lack funding for higher education

“When producing this body of work we were influenced by a number of factors that aided us to narrate authentic African stories that will encourage giving in abundance such as graffiti, street art, pop art and graphic design. My brother Justice is known for creating intellectually and emotionally dense art and films, where as I love creating illustrative portraiture. Sthu Manaka’s contemporary paintings were really the perfect ingredient to completing this collection as we continue to revolutionise the creative space by partnering with brands such as Tastic. Says fine art designer Fhatuwani Mukheli

“We are truly honoured to be part of a campaign that will be giving young children much like ourselves at the time the opportunity to chase their dreams and expand their capabilities further without finances being a problem. We encourage the public to visit the Tastic exhibition at the Trumpet building to be inspired and form part of our journey by owning a piece from this phenomenal collection ” Says Photographer and creative entrepreneur Justice Mukheli.

“Perfect partnerships have enabled us to express our brand purpose as a way of cementing the legacy of Tastic in the spaces where we can make tangible differences in the lives of our consumers. Partnering with the Mukheli twins will showcase once again that we are all about paying it forward for our people, not just with the rice but through taking it beyond the functional base of our brand and contributing towards education” says Thembi Sehloho Marketing Director for Rice and Pasta at Tiger Brands.

Details of how the people can rally with Tastic and The Art My Loves movement to make their pledge towards exuding the true spirit of generosity will be posted on the brands official Instagram and Facebook pages.

How Short Course Skill Stacking Can Change Your Career Trajectory in 2022? @ADvTECHGroup

Hi Friends, 

Further education options have expanded dramatically over the past year in response to changing demands in the workplace. The good news is that employers now are heavily focused on hiring candidates with specific Information Technology-related skillsets and that many of these skillsets can be developed in a relatively short period of time, even without a previous IT background, an education expert says.

“Many people are currently evaluating their careers, realising that they need to invest in the development of their skills to ensure their continued employability,” says Elbie Liebenberg, MD at MindSharp, a brand of SA’s largest private education provider, ADvTECH.

Liebenberg says those who seek to build on their existing skillset in the new year, do not need to make radical changes in their life to be able to do so, as there are great new options available to those who want to learn new skills - or a new combination of skills - in a relatively short period of time while continuing in their current career.

“Regardless of the current field in which you find yourself, there are a host of new programmes in which you can enrol to build on and expand your professional portfolio, which will increase your desirability in the job marketplace and ensure you can move up the proverbial career ladder,” says Liebenberg.

She says it is no surprise that the best bet for professional development now is to expand one’s skills in an IT-related field and that combining courses from various fields within IT will dramatically improve a candidate’s employability in future.

“So whether you are in education, business, the media, finance, or any other field, one or more IT short courses will vastly increase your ability to fulfil a diverse number of roles or enable you to start a whole new career entirely, and will therefore increase your future options and ability to diversify or move to a more sustainable role within your organisation,” Liebenberg says.

SHE SAYS IT-RELATED FIELDS OF STUDY WHICH WILL FORTIFY YOUR CV INCLUDE:

WEB DEVELOPER

In 2020, more businesses and companies went online and remote than at any time in human history. Brick and mortar stores became online shops; boardroom meetings became online syncs, and even things as simple as buying groceries increasingly moved online. Behind all of this digital activity are full-stack web developers. These tech professionals keep us connected and working in a world that relies on information communication technologies to run, and will remain in high demand long into the future.

Courses to consider: HTML & CSS, JavaScript, HTML5 Application Development

DATA SECURITY SPECIALIST

As data becomes the world’s most valuable resource, the demand for data security is ever increasing. Qualifying as a data security specialist will enable you to understand the tools, techniques and knowledge required to also start thinking like a data scientist, a skill every modern-day working professional should have. Within companies, Chief Information Officers are crucial to help guide the direction of a company, based on insight into the meaning of available data.

Courses to consider: Python, Data Security Management, Databases

SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Software engineering is a creative career that allows you to work with software, hardware, and other computer systems in a wide variety of industries and jobs. This career places you at the heart of the digital economy, with endless scope for growth. Each industry requires its software engineers to translate their insight of the industry into the software engineering space of that industry, so this is a great field in which you can apply prior knowledge to a new role.

Courses to consider: Java, Python, HTML5 Application Development

WEB DESIGNER

A web designer is an IT professional who uses various computer software applications and programming languages to create and maintain web content. This usually involves designing the layout, visual appearance and usability of a website to ensure the user has a pleasant browsing experience. Becoming a web designer will allow you to apply your existing knowledge of your field and market in a creative and stimulating new way.

Courses to consider: HTML & CSS, JavaScript, Adobe Illustrator CC 2020

GRAPHIC DESIGNER

Graphic designers use their creativity to create visual concepts that communicate certain ideas and messages. These visual concepts are created by hand or by using computer software, and include a variety of media. This takes the form of both physical and virtual art forms and includes elements such as words, graphics, and images.

Courses to consider: Adobe Photoshop CC 2020, Adobe InDesign CC 2020, Adobe Illustrator CC 2020

Winning African Developers Reveal the Power of @HuaweiZA Apps UP Competition #HMSInnovateForAll

Hi Friends, 

HUAWEI recently announced the winners of this year’s Apps UP contest, which aims to inspire talented developers around the world to create seamless, smart and innovative digital experiences. Apps UP saw developers from five regions around the world; the Middle East & Africa, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and China; compete against one another to create innovative apps that help users navigate everyday life. Amidst strong competition, four African App developers won awards for their App submission in the Middle East and Africa region.

One of the awarded Apps was Coresthetics, which received the Best App Award, along with $15,000 in prize money. Developed by Kurt Mbanje, Coresthetics is a digital fitness coach that aims to help health-conscious individuals reach their fitness goals. Its key differentiator is that it accounts for the available fitness equipment a user has as well as take into consideration the lack of such equipment.

“Unlike most online workout programmes provided in static form, Coresthetics auto-adjusts its fitness recommendations based on an individual’s capability and feedback from the previous sessions. The App is always learning,” says Mbanje.

Another SA winner, this time in the category Excellent Student Award, was UniAPS, which helps prospective students discover their Admission Point Score (APS) for a wide array of South African universities, as well as get a list of courses they qualify for based on their matric (Grade 12) results.

“The App is unique because it calculates the APS for all universities in one place and generates only the courses you qualify for,” says Velly Dingaan, developer of UniAPS.

Dingaan Letjane - UniAPS

Both developers believe that integrating Apps with HMS Core, a collection of tools made for Huawei’s partners and app developers, must be something every developer should give serious consideration to. These tools provide enhanced functionality and services to Apps and ensure that they function optimally on Huawei devices.

“HUAWEI has a large and continuously growing share of the world’s smartphone market. It only makes sense to leverage their capabilities by using HMS core,” says Mbanje.

Dingaan agrees, adding, “HMS Core is flexible and provides an array of open device and cloud capabilities which can be easily integrated into Apps. It enables developers to deliver next-level user experiences and make premium content and services broadly accessible.”

According to Mbanje, HMS Core makes it easy to quickly deploy an App and not worry about otherwise mundane tasks like user authentication or device authorisation for video playback. Implementing these from scratch would take a considerable amount of time for any start-up developer.

Dingaan says this environment that Huawei provides, allows developers to be more focused on making their App stand out. With all HMS Core kits available for free, it certainly is an environment that helps drive adoption.

“Winning the award has validated that we are on the right track. We plan on investing the prize money in marketing, adding more exercises to the App, and onboarding more health and fitness advisors to the team,” says Mbanje.

For Dingaan, UniAPS’ prize money of $5,000 will help buy the equipment needed to improve the testing, debugging, and production processes of his App.

Mbanje feels that competitions like Huawei’s Apps UP are important for developers.

Kurt Mbanje - Coresthetics

“Apps UP can help with exposure. Coming first in a region as big as MEA is a big deal. And seeing what other developers are creating is priceless, just to demonstrate the level of innovation taking place on the continent.”

Dingaan is equally enthusiastic about the Apps UP competition.

“This provides a platform for developers to learn more about the latest technology and enhance their mobile App development skills. We also have sight of what other developers are doing and seeing the best Apps in action in the region,” concludes Dingaan.
