# Joseph Charles Doumba

Joseph Charles Doumba (2 February 1936 – 5 March 2017) was a Cameroonian politician. He was first appointed to the government of Cameroon as Minister of Information and Culture in 1974, and then Minister of Justice from 1975 to 1979. Doumba was Secretary-General of the Cameroon People's Democratic Movement (RDPC) from 1992 to 2007.

## RDPC Secretary-General

Doumba was designated as Secretary-General of the RDPC, the ruling party, on 10 March 1992. He was viewed as strongly loyal to President Paul Biya.
Doumba and RDPC Deputy Secretary-General Gregoire Owona had a poor relationship; by 2003 they had reportedly not been on speaking terms for years, and Biya was said to primarily work with Owona, while largely ignoring Doumba. Doumba's health was poor by that time, and he was often in France for medical treatment; he also faced discontent within the party due a perception that he was aloof from the party at the local level, and he was accused of ignoring the Central Committee. Rumors in May 2003 suggested that he had tried to resign but that Biya had refused to accept his resignation.
Doumba's poor health was highlighted by the visible difficulty he had in giving a speech at an RDPC extraordinary congress in July 2006. Due to the state of his health, party affairs were largely managed by Owona until Biya, in his capacity as National President of the RDPC, appointed Rene Sadi to succeed Doumba on 4 April 2007. On the same occasion, he appointed Doumba as Roving Ambassador at the Presidency.

# Louis Armstrong award

The Louis Armstrong Award, or sometimes the King Bee Award, is the "top senior jazz award" or highest level interscholastic award given to students at high schools in the United States. It is given in recognition of "outstanding musical achievement and an incredible dedication to the program".

## History

Louis Armstrong was an American jazz musician and singer. Armstrong's influence extends well beyond jazz music, and by the end of his career in the 1960s, he was widely regarded as a profound influence on popular music in general. Lucille Armstrong, his wife in later years, described his love for people. "Louis's greatest personality traits were humility and generosity. He just loved people, and he always tried to understand them too. He was compassionate, generous, and understanding with everyone. He was loved, not only for his style, but as a person as well."
The Louis Armstrong award was inaugurated in 1974, with the consent of Armstrong's widow, shortly after he died in 1971. The award itself is limited to one per school per year, and may include a certificate, engraved statue, and wall plaque to which the names of each recipient over the years may be added.

# He Chong

He Chong (simplified Chinese: 何冲; traditional Chinese: 何衝; pinyin: Hé Chōng; Cantonese Yale: Ho4 Chung1; born June 10, 1987, in Zhanjiang, Guangdong) is a Chinese diver. He is the 2008 Olympic Champion in the 3m springboard.
He split with partner Wang Feng after they won a gold medal in the 3m synchronised springboard event at the 2005 World Championships. The two staged a reunion and won gold at the same event in the 2006 Diving World Cup in Changshu, China.
At the 2008 Olympics He Chong defeated an elite field of divers including, the two time world champion Alexandre Despatie, the 2006 world cup champion Qin Kai, and eight time Olympic medalist Dmitri Sautin.
He lit the flame at the 2010 Asian Games opening ceremony.
He is often referred to as the greatest springboard diver in history due to having gone almost unbeaten from 2008 to 2016. He is hoping to be the first diver to regain an individual diving Olympic title at the 2016 Rio Games, after a rare off day led to a loss of his title in 2012 where he won only bronze, his only loss in a Fina World Cup final, World Championships, or Olympics he competed in from 2008 to 2014.
