NEW YORK, 25 juillet 2022 /PRNewswire/ — À la suite d’un séminaire réussi tenu le 4 juillet, l’Église Shincheonji de Jésus « New Heaven New Earth », le Temple du Tabernacle du Témoignage, a organisé un événement en ligne le samedi 23 juillet pour les pasteurs et les dirigeants de l’église du monde entier.

Intitulé « Prophétie et accomplissement de l’Ancien et du Nouveau Testament », le nouveau séminaire sur la Bible témoignait des 66 livres de la Bible sur les secrets du Royaume des Cieux et de la Nouvelle Alliance, l’Apocalypse. L’orateur principal, le président de l’Église Shincheonji Lee Man-hee, a expliqué l’intégralité du livre de l’Apocalypse, chapitre par chapitre.

Il a souligné que la prophétie du livre de l’Apocalypse a été accomplie. Il a demandé aux participants du séminaire de confirmer et de croire le témoignage sur l’accomplissement des événements de l’Apocalypse. Il a également parlé directement aux pasteurs qui assistaient à l’événement.

« Les pasteurs qui croient dans le Ciel doivent prendre une décision tout de suite », a déclaré le président Lee. « Selon la Bible, selon la volonté de Dieu, nous devons recevoir le livre et entendre la personne qui a été témoin de ce travail sur le terrain. »

Une série de séminaires de l’Église Shincheonji publiés depuis l’automne 2021 ont attiré plus de 20 millions de téléspectateurs sur YouTube dans le monde. Le contenu du séminaire a inclus le programme d’introduction, intermédiaire et avancé du centre missionnaire de l’Église, qui enseigne la Bible de la Genèse à l’Apocalypse, gratuitement.

En 2019, 103 764 étudiants ont obtenu leur diplôme du Zion Christian Mission Center après avoir suivi un cours de théologie rigoureux en moins d’un an. Même lorsque la pandémie de COVID-19 a atteint son apogée, le centre missionnaire comptait plus de 20 000 diplômés en 2020 et en 2021, respectivement. Une autre cohorte de 100 000 étudiants devrait recevoir son diplôme à la fin de 2022.

La croissance rapide de l’Église Shincheonji s’est également poursuivie malgré les calomnies et les persécutions des politiciens et des groupes et confessions chrétiens plus établis.

L’intérêt pour ses enseignements et la capacité d’expliquer toute la Bible a clairement conduit à des demandes pour le matériel éducatif de l’Église au pays et à l’étranger. Des milliers de pasteurs de plusieurs continents ont accepté de signer un protocole d’entente avec l’Église Shincheonji, ouvrant la porte à la collaboration.

Huawei Launches the SOCC Solution, Safeguarding Stable Transactions in the Financial Industry

SINGAPORE, July 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, at the Huawei Intelligent Finance Summit 2022, Huawei released the industry’s first Storage-Optical Connection Coordination (SOCC) solution. This solution leverages the advantages of storage devices and optical transmission products to prevent financial transaction failures caused by network jitter, ensuring stable and reliable financial transactions.

Dr. Margaret Hu, President of Marketing and Solution Sales, Global Digital Finance, Huawei, launched SOCC solution

The transaction link latency has a direct impact on customer experience. For this reason, financial regulatory authorities have exacting requirements on the transaction link latency and transaction success rate.

To reduce the impact of network jitter on financial transactions, Huawei’s SOCC solution enables direct handshakes through the SOCC channel between the industry-leading financial DCI optical transmission device OptiXtrans DC908 and all-flash storage OceanStor Dorado. In this solution, the optical network is used to detect link faults. When the link jitter exceeds the threshold, OptiXtrans DC908 notifies OceanStor Dorado to switch I/O channels within 2 seconds (down from the previous 120 seconds), greatly slashing the exception duration of financial transactions and ensuring zero financial transaction failure.

In addition, Huawei SOCC solution optimizes the optical link switching time from 50 ms to 5 ms to greatly reduce frame freezes of digital financial services caused by network faults. With innovative SOCC technology, Huawei optimizes the protection performance from the aspects of storage I/O links and optical links, thereby ensuring higher network reliability.

Huawei SOCC solution is designed for the financial industry to solve service loss caused by link switching and ensure the stable financial transactions. With leading innovative technologies and capabilities, Huawei will continue to build excellent products and solutions for the financial industry and enable green, digital, and smart finance.

Water and Sanitation on course with issuing of water-use licences in 90 days

The Department of Water and Sanitation is working around the clock towards the realisation of the finalisation of water-use licence applications within 90 days, reducing from 300 days as previously done. The new turn-around time is part of government’s strategies to enhance the delivery of economic reforms through Operation Vulindlela which is aimed at fast-tracking service delivery across various sectors of society.

As an initiative by the Presidency and National Treasury, Operation Vulindlela has been providing technical support to the Department to effectively implement a plan for the granting of water-use licences within the reduced timeframes. 

In the 2021/22 financial year, which is between April 2021 and March 2022, the Department was able to finalise 613 out of the 971 water-use licence applications, which represent a partial achievement of 63%.

In Quarter 1 of the current financial year (April to June 2022), the Department has overachieved by finalizing 150 applications of the targeted 113 and as such, work has commenced on the targeted applications for Quarter 2 (July to September). Thus far, 37 applications out of a targeted 252 are already finalised.

Meanwhile, sleeves are kept rolled up to eradicate water-use authorization backlogs to meet the 90 days turn-around timeframe.

According to the Deputy Director-General (DDG) responsible for compliance, monitoring and evaluation, Xolani Zwane, concerted efforts which were put in place to clear backlogs by 30 June 2022 have been successful; while also admitting that the 100% target set has not been achieved.

“A total of 812 water-use authorization backlog was finalized by 30 June 2022 out of a target of 998. We now have 138 of the backlogs still to finalize and we plan to ensure that they are concluded by the end of this month,” said DDG Zwane.

In a bid to fast-track the conclusion of the backlogs, the Department has conducted a diagnostic study into factors causing delays in water-use authorization and recommended interventions to improve efficiency.

In the main, the interventions to improve efficiency centres around the establishment of water authorisation units at the Department’s provincial offices and resourcing them with an adequate number of personnel possessing the requisite skills.

Other interventions include amongst others, revising water use licence templates which entail minimising amendments and improving implementation of conditions by applicants.

Also implemented is the process of minimising system downtime and addressing connectivity challenges associated with the online portal, which often result in interruptions of submission and processing of the water-use licence applications.

Zwane admitted that the process is still work in progress and pleaded with applicants to be patient while the Department is doing its best to finalise the applications and address the backlog.

“We have introduced a process wherein applicants are sent letters through the Electronic Water Use Licence Application and Authorisation System (e-WULAAS) to provide them with updates on their application progress. These letters are sent at day 45 and day 80 of the 90 days process. All of this information is available on the Department’s website,” Zwane concluded. 

The Department has reiterated its commitment to ensuring that water-use applicants have their applications finalised within 90 days.
