EFFECTIVENESS OF GROWTH - OMOTOLA FAWEHINMI

As an entrepreneurial for many years now one of the greatest vibes to my continuous development have been on the quality of information I'm able to obtain. "Your ability to discover the major tools for your improvement in whatever areas is a  treasure you must keep."

Information power remains the absolute power to control and  continuously stay aloof. Economic power derives sources from information power and looking at the era we are, Globalization is helping us vastly in aiding development  across the globe.

"As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information" _Benjamin Disraeli

In most cases, why it seems you are not experiencing transformation and improvement in your individual aspirations. Most likely in your business, industries and other areas of your life  is because you don't weigh and feed on the right resources. 

The reasons Multi National and some few National Organizations organized seminars,trainings and other forms of mental, physical and career development outings is for the purpose of individual growth, in order to keep the organization abreast on improved methods of service. 

 "Your growth feed simultaneously on what you provide it , and you cannot outgrow the level of what you are consuming." As an entrepreneur the information you get will greatly help you to continue to improve. You see most of those that start up the same business as you are enthusiasts individual, who continuously desires to get different dimensions on how to do their business. 

If I may ask you, what exactly are you feeding on? You see many entrepreneurial complaining about the state of their enterprise. Ask 80% of them how many times have they look for different ways to run their business? No response? then how do they intend to improve in the competitive market? A lot of  questions will continue to surface.

There are no new businesses, what we have out there are improved methods of service. And the fact remains that the approach individual organizations uses in running their work is what makes the major differences. 

Also, for you to grow you need to improve the level, quality and quantity of what you consume. And getting the right resources to help you grow your enterprise is very vital.

Experiment satellite: china launches 'world's first 6G.

China has sent into space “the world’s first 6G experiment satellite,” local media reported on Friday.

The experimental 6G satellite will “verify the terahertz (THz) communication technology in space, a breakthrough in space communication,” according to state-affiliated daily Global Times.

The 6G satellite was among three Chinese satellites successfully launched into orbit, along with 10 commercial remote sensing satellites developed by Argentinian company Satellogic, the report said.

All of them were launched using a single Long March 6 rocket that took off from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in northern Shanxi province.

This was the 351st rocket of China’s indigenously developed Long March series.

In September, China launched its third maritime satellite into space, and has also sent an observation satellite, Gaofen 11-02, into orbit to help in mapping efforts for its Belt and Road Initiative.

Meanwhile, China’s National Astronomical Observatory said on Friday it will open its 500-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope, the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope, to global scientists next year for research work, state broadcaster CGTN reported.

The observatory will begin full operation in January 2021 after passing a “series of technical and performance assessments."

President Trump, Saudi king, and Crown prince sentences to death.

A Yemeni court has issued death sentences against ten defendants including President Donald Trump, Saudi King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, and crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud for alleged war crimes. 

The case against the defendants was held in their absence at Houthi-run Specialised Criminal Court in the Yemeni governorate of Saada over the Saudi-led coalition’s attack on a bus full of young boys in Dahyan in the Majz district

The Houthi-owned Yemen News Agency (SABA) confirmed that the court issued death sentences to Donald Trump, Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, Mohammed Bin Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, and Norton Schwartz for their alleged roles in the attack. 

Commander of the Saudi Air Force, Turki bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz, Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, Yemen's Vice President Ali Mohsen Saleh Al-Ahmar, Prime Minister Ahmed bin Dagher, Defence Minister Muhammad Al-Maqdishi, and former US Defence Secretary James Norman Mattis were also sentenced to death.

The news agency indicated that the defendants are also required to pay a $10 billion fine to families of those killed in the 2019 airstrike.

The charges related to an airstrike which reportedly hit a school bus, killing 51 people including 40 children

The news agency reported that: “The prosecution has registered its partial appeal to the fifth paragraph of the verdict, regarding the right of those included in the indictment. Thus, the court has not decided on it yet. Private prosecution attorney, Hamdan Shani, joined his appeal to the prosecution’s appeal, while the defence attorney, Abdel Wahab Al-Fadhli, reserved the right to appeal on behalf of the defendants.”

Extremism Charges: Russia Convicts 6 Jehovah’s Witnesses

 

A court in central Russia has handed suspended sentences to six Jehovah’s Witnesses on Thursday, its latest crackdown on the religious organization that it banned three years ago.

A district court in the city of Ulyanovsk 800 kilometers southeast of Moscow found four men and a married couple guilty of organizing or participating in “extremist activity,” the Jehovah’s Witnesses organization told The Moscow Times.

The court gave them suspended sentences ranging from two to four years. The court database has classified the details of the case.

Prosecutors last week requested real prison sentences of up to seven years for the worshippers aged between 35 and 63, the Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia group said on its website. 

“We are pleased that they were not imprisoned, yet it remains a gross injustice for them to be convicted simply for their peaceful Christian worship,” Jehovah’s Witnesses spokesman Jarrod Lopes said in an email.

He contrasted the Ulyanovsk case with the “courageous” acquittal of a believer in the North Caucasus, the first such ruling since Russia outlawed Jehovah’s Witnesses as “extremists.”

“Yesterday, in Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, Judge Kudryavtseva courageously issued the first ‘not guilty’ verdict on one of Jehovah’s Witnesses since the 2017 Supreme Court ruling,” Lopes said. 

“Today’s judge, Galina Soshkina, instead aligned herself with those who have facilitated the persecution of Jehovah’s Witnesses, flouting the censure of the international human rights community.”

Russia has outlawed an estimated 400 Jehovah’s Witnesses branches across the country since the Supreme Court’s decision to ban the organization. Russian courts have since issued a series of lengthy sentences against believers, including several European Union nationals.

Hand sanitiser sold as gin content

An Australian liquor distiller has issued an urgent recall on bottles of gin after finding they had been filled with hand sanitiser, which left at least one customer feeling sick.

The company, Apollo Bay Distillery, says it has sold a number of the bottles with no seal, which have been labelled as gin but actually contain the sanitiser. Hand sanitiser is not safe to drink and should not be consumed.

The company said at least nine bottles of the sanitiser, labelled as “SS Casino Gin” were sold between June 5 and June 7.

A customer said she felt ill after drinking a glass from one of the incorrectly labelled bottles.

“Had one glass of this at lunchtime and had a really bad headache and felt nauseas (sic) about 1 hour after and had to take nausea tablets and nurofen,” the customer said on the Apollo Bay Distillery Facebook page.

“Thought I was getting unwell I had no idea until now! If it doesn’t taste right don’t drink it!!! Be careful!”

The company apologised to the customer and assured her the product she mistakenly drank was “not toxic”.

“Should you have purchased a bottle of SS Casino Gin between Friday 5 June to Sunday 7 June please return it to where you purchased it from for a full refund or replacement,” the company said in a statement.
