Unbelievable tragedy in Newtown! RIP to the little ones we lost..

Unbelievable tragedy in Newtown! RIP to the little ones we lost..:
 
I know you all have heard about the tragic event that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary school yesterday December 14th. 20 year old Adam Lanza (pictured below right) killed his mum at home and drove to the school in Newtown, Connecticut and opened fire on pupils and teachers, killing 26 people in all. 20 children between 5 to 10 years old and six adults, including the school principal; before killing himself.



Adam Lanza was dressed in black military gear and a
bullet proof vest when he opened fire in the principal's
office and then moved to a kindergarten classroom where his mother,
Nancy, taught.
 The three guns (Glock and Sig Sauer revolvers and Bushmaster rifle) used in the shooting were legally purchased by Adam's mother, Nancy Lanza, whose body was found in the home she shared with Adam. This massacre is the worst involving little children in American history. How could something this horrible happen? Truly truly truly sad! Can't believe this guy went after defenseless little children. So heartbreaking. Our hearts go out to the mothers who lost their children and people who lost loved ones. May God bless the memory of all the victims.

The Freelance Economy: Millions of Entrepreneurs - and a Vital Social Venture

The Freelance Economy: Millions of Entrepreneurs - and a Vital Social Venture: The gig economy. The freelance economy. Independent labor. You've heard the buzzwords for years. More Americans are working for themselves than ever before, a trend that says as much about the future of full-time work in large enterprises as its does about lifestyle choices among freelancers. Yet, the contribution of this expanding section of the workforce can't really be overstated. And when the Federal Reserve Bank of New York  named Freelancers Union founder and executive director Sara Horowitz to its board of directors last week, it quietly sent a signal that the role of the third of all Americans classified as "independent workers" is growing in the quasi-public halls of big finance.

What is a Celebrity Thought Leader?

What is a Celebrity Thought Leader?: In an increasingly hyper-competitive environment, business development is often the most critical factor determining the success of a professional services firm or a luxury marketer, a start up technology company or even the proverbial “widget” maker. Very often senior management at these various types of businesses equates the quality of their products or the expertise of their employees and partners with financial success. This is, more often than not, a horrendous mistake. That’s not to say that being able to deliver the highest quality service or product isn't important.  We certainly believe this to be the case. But, it’s usually insufficient for the levels of business achievement that these companies are capable of achieving.

Pastor Tunde Bakare's son & NYSC commandant trade slaps in NYSC Ondo camp

Pastor Tunde Bakare's son & NYSC commandant trade slaps in NYSC Ondo camp:
Story written by Stella Dimoko Korkus for Encomium Magazine

It
was with tension and on edge that those who witnessed this exchange of
slaps whisper this gist. According to them, 'coloured trousers had been
banned within the camp and the camp commandant spotted Pastor Tunde
Bakare's son, Segun Bakare in black trousers. When apprehended, the lad asked the commandant if he didn't know he was the son of Tunde Bakare, the popular preacher. The commandant immediately delivered a slap on the face of the young man and Segun replied with his own slap.
Continue...







Segun's mum had given the commandant a number to call when she dropped off her son in camp, so immediately this incident occurred, the commandant called Mrs Bakare and after a few words, the phone was handed to Pastor Tunde Bakare himself. After hearing what had happened, Pastor Bakare asked that his son be disciplined for disobeying camp rules. The phone was on speaker and Segun heard his father's instructions and as soon as the phone call ended, he went down on his knees and started begging. The matter has since been resolved.
