Apple possibly planning to launch satellite iPhone

0

Apple is hiring satellite experts and the indication is that Apple will launch a satellite iPhone soon. A satellite telephone, satellite phone, or satphone is a type of mobile phone that connects to orbiting satellites instead of terrestrial cell sites.It means that anyone anywhere on earth can use the phone because satellites cover most parts of the earth.

Two Google executives—spacecraft designer John Fenwick and satellite engineer Michael Trela—both left for a new Apple hardware project, reports Bloomberg. The story suggests they’re spearheading a project focused on satellite broadband communications and image collection, an initiative that may also involve Boeing.

The iPhone maker has recruited a pair of top Google satellite executives for a new hardware team, according to people familiar with the matter. John Fenwick, who led Google’s spacecraft operations, and Michael Trela, head of satellite engineering, left Alphabet Inc.’s Google for Apple in recent weeks, the people said. They report to Greg Duffy, co-founder of camera maker Dropcam, who joined Apple earlier this year, the people said. They asked not to be identified talking about Apple’s private plans. An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment, as did Google. Fenwick, Trela and Duffy didn’t respond to requests for comment.

With the recruits, Apple is bringing into its ranks two experts in the demanding, expensive field of satellite design and operation. At the moment, these endeavors typically fall into two fields: satellites for collecting images and those for communications.

This is huge people. If Apple launches satellite iPhone, there will be a new order on this earth. We think they are working on same to bring the era of de-localized communication.

My Juice is Nuta – 100% Organic Pineapple and Lemon Juice, all Naturally Brewed on African Fire

0

A friend asked me to create the type of juice I want – hopefully the juice making industry can make one for me. Here is my imagination on the juice I am craving right now.


Dear Kim,

I am visiting Nairobi and I met an old friend who invited me to a local party. We had studied together in the University of Kentucky many years ago. My office had sent me to help open a new branch in Nairobi and while we were in the opening ceremony, some government representatives came. She was one of them. After the program, she asked me to come over to her house at the outskirts of the town. It was a very great evening with great local food and drinks.

After the trip, something is brewing in my mind. There is certainly a better drink for this world. I met a lot of natural tasting organic drinks in Kenya but I do think there is one that does not exist which I am planning to see how to make and I am hoping that you will be one of my paid customers to sample it.

My drink is called Nuta. It will be made with organically grown pineapple mixed with lemon. The look will be like a typical Tropicana juice when served on glass but the taste will be like tasting raw pineapple mashed with lemon. It will have a spicy taste with some gingers which will be added. That will make it also a little pepperish. There will be no preservative or chemical in any form because the fermentation process will be organically done. I like the taste of the juice from Nairobi.

Nuta will be all natural and will be made and consumed within 12 hours of brew. Customers will be served live and no packaging is necessary. However, to ensure scale, we will make a power version which can be used with added water and left for 10 minutes to get through production phase at home. So, we will have it in powder and pure liquid forms.

The vitamin will be natural and minerals totally intact with none lost during production. It will be labeled 100% organic because everything will be sourced from pure organic farmlands from rural farmers with no chemicals used in the farming process. It will deliver wholesomeness goodness and will drive unprecedented value on nutritional content.

It will be mama’s juice for the whole family.

Nuta will be available at home, offices and restaurants and will be distributed nationwide. We will sell it in Chipotle and Whole Foods because these brands symbolize the modernity we desire from natural foods.

Our uniqueness is the quality of the ingredients, production process and nutritional value.

Nuta Snack will also come on the way and will be made with pure organic ingredients processed the way some natives are processing their food systems with firewood in rural Africa with no chemical process.  I am hoping that Nuta products will be the first 100% all-natural, no nutrient-loss brand in the world and will be promoted by UNICEF, FAO and WHO.

When we see next week, I will give you more details. But please plan to place an order as I need some money to move into production of Nuta.

Best

Christie

 

NB: This is just an imagination but this thought-process is something I just want to share.

A lawyer sues President Buhari over Southeast Nigeria for N1trillion

0

Dr. Olisa Agbakoba, a Former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), has filed an application before a Federal High Court in Enugu, challenging what he called the total neglect of the Southeast zone. Guardian reports.

He is also asking for the sum of N1trillion as damages to be shared among the five Southeast states.

The fundamental rights class action, which is before Justice A. R. Mohammed, is on behalf of himself and the Southeast zone on the grounds of discrimination, pursuant to Section 42 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

Agbakoba is asking these on the ground of total neglect of the geopolitical zone by the Federal Government & champaign auto accident attorney, in terms of infrastructure and general federal presence.

He also said the Federal Government has left the Niger Bridge to collapse and failure to build the ‘Second Niger Bridge,’ making the applicant feel isolated from other parts of the country and causing him apprehension about disaster on crossing the existing bridge.

Agbakoba is also seeking an order directing the Federal Government to forthwith put all its machinery, including, but not limited to legal and political apparatus, in motion, with a view to urgently create two additional states in the Southeast geopolitical zone.

This, according to him, would bring a balance with the seven states in the Northwest, and thereby bring to an end the discriminatory practices against the Southeast zone, in terms of legislative representation, political and judicial appointments and not federal allocation accruing to the zone.
