Musoni's tagline is "Next Generation Microfinance." Social Business has written before on microfinance and also on its ubiquity and challenges as a very, very fashionable way to provide financial services to the poor. Put together with another au courant approach to what has come to be known as "emerging markets," that is to say, mobile technology and cellphone use, Musoni attempts to tackle a whole breadth of issues.
The organization currently works in East Africa, and the venture started from two initial pilot projects in Kenya and Tanzania in 2008 and 2009 respectively. People noticed and in 2011, Musoni BV was awarded "most innovative use of technology" by the Global Microfinance Achievement Awards in Geneva.

A couple of weeks ago, I was working in the apartment when I realized that the boxes I have to move around were TOO MANY BOXES. I thought "OK, this is ridiculous. I've got so many half-finished projects and bits of things stashed around when I bet other people could do way more fun things with them."
So, it's officially Fall Clearance time.
I've got prices on a lot of things, but they're just on there as suggestions. Come poke around in my treasures, if you find them valuable, you go have fun with them.
I haven't even gotten to the Fractalspin and Zelle inventory yet. I'll have an official studio sale / sample sale before the end of October.
Yee haw.

On the 2600 block of Fairfield near California.
Here's a quirky yard sale that not only has your standard kitchen and home stuff, we've also got things to inspire your creativity along with little treasures collected from traveling.
There will be household items and gadgets, Halloween costumes and wigs, audio and computer cables and adapters, coats, little treasures, and fun gifts. We've even got a "bowl-of-fruit" original painting, but with a surreal twist. You'll see.
For the crafters, you're in for a treat with parts and specialty hand tools, cables, wires, fake flowers, cute little boxes and containers and such. We've also got a bunch of blank pleather purses for a fraction of retail that are just begging for something fun to be done to them. Get a jump start on your holiday gifts now!
If you're into playing with electronics, you'll find all sorts of random audio adapters, cables, and power cables to help you finish that project you're stuck on, or it will inspire you to a start a new one. If you're handy with a soldering iron, you'll appreciate our collection of cables and parts and grab bags of components like capacitors, diodes, and resistors, too.

Very friendly helpful staff. Stayed night before flying out. Free shuttle to airport and picked us up when back. Left car at hotel.
The best part of this hotel is the location...1 minute from the terminal.
Too many oil field workers...didn't feel overly safe.
great customers service
has to switch rooms a couple of times because the rooms were not ready. The room i stayed in the lock didn't work so had to sleep with the dead bolt on.
Close to airport, helpful staff
Location not a very attractive site
Once we arrived it was all good
The shuttle stops too early. Our flight arrived at 12:30am. Would have appreciated the convenience of being picked up
Check in was fast ans I was ready to rest. The bed was fabulous and I slept great.
Location- We stayed there to very close to the airport for our early departure in the morning.
This was a tired place that really needed updating. The toilet in our room was clean but loose. Rate was fair but we got what we paid for!
Great location a short shuttle ride from the airport. Prompt response when called. Large room, comfortable furniture, comfy bedding, very good bathroom with thick towels, fast wifi, very quiet at night as flights seem to stop between 9 pm and 6 am.
The breakfast, which was wall-to-wall carb and sugar, all dished out on mountains of disposable plastic. Apart from an apple, there was not a trace of nutrition. Even the coffee and the cornflakes had built-in sugar. The rest was biscuit, regular toast, french toast, bagel, waffle, jam, cream cheese, and a gooey mess I mistook for porridge but that had the consistency of congealed vomit. Even McDonald discovered salads! This is a shame. Apart from that, this is an excellent choice. Just remember to bring your own breakfast snack.
The waffles
No toaster at breakfast, not enough choices for breakfast.unfriendly staff, they talked about how they hated booking.com. they just seemed to out down everything around them.
The staff was consistently helpful and courteous and went the extra mile for guests.
I walked to a nearby restaurant. Instead of a sidewalk there was only a narrow trail frighteningly close to the Highway 71 traffic.
Very convenient if you need to catch an early flight. It is just 5 min from the airport and the shuttle runs every 30 min.
Room size, comfort and cleanliness (I check)...great cable / dish line-up many places skimp.
Recommending that hotel expands the vending area / options.
There was a cup of old coffee in the microwave. The bathroom was not clean (tub/shower area). It makes one wonder what other areas of the room are let go for who know how long. I'm not staying there in the future. I travel out of Austin airport at least 3 times a year and always spend the night before my flight at one of the hotels nearby.
It was wonderful that I was allowed to leave my car there during my trip. Their transport to the airport was right on time.
My experience was pleasant. Hotel was quiet, clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. The desk clerk was very pleasant, professional and helpful. Breakfast was good and as a diabetic I found items I could have, which isn't always the case. The woman who drove me to the airport was very friendly and pleasant. She was very efficient considering she was doing breakfast as well.
Friendly, helpful staff
Surge pricing 2.5 times the normal rate during Formula One weekend
free parking breakfast easy highway access easy drive into city across road from airport
no restaurants nearby
I found myself in Austin for the night and needed a convenient place to crash. This was located very close to downtown Austin. Clean hotel and very well priced for short notice.
No real gripes. I only stayed one night.
Good clean rooms and very close to the airport
No restaurant
Staff there was very friendly and helpful.
Hotel is beginning to show signs of age...(just like me!).
they charged me the wrong amount still havent seen the change

If snuggling up in front of a roaring fire with your honey (or something akin to a significant other) appeals to you but you're not down with shag carpets or animal fur, then you may want to invest in a Wampa rug. The Wampa rug would also make an excellent gift for that 'Star Wars'-obsessed friend of yours.
The fictional 'Star Wars' character, which gives the Wampa rug its name and likeness, will provide warmth and comfort on chilly nights and plenty of interest from visitors the rest of the year. The Wampa rug retails for $100.

The zoning changes would apply to several big hotels in Lake Placid, including the Crown Plaza resort, which is also owned by the Lussi family.
But it wouldn't apply to his Lake Placid Club property, since it's currently zoned as village center.
Lussi has indicated that he's anxious to break ground on a new hotel project there, and that he needs the zoning change to happen quickly.
Lussi said he wants the town and the village to pass a resolution changing his property to planned development rather than going through the joint review board.
"I will never again apply to the joint review board for planned development status because they have no teeth when they approve it. Because it's not legislatively approved it can't be guaranteed for eternity. So that's why I'm requesting for these two boards to do this."
Lussi expressed concern that the request had not been put on the agenda for Tuesday's public hearing.
"I just feel like I've been chasing my tail now for four months. Mr. Mayor, you've had this discussion personally with me, as has [North Elba Town Supervisor Roby Politi] and to say that this isn't part of today's agenda is very alarming for me."
Village and town officials said they needed more information about the property in question before making a decision.
Dietrich has pointed out that not all of the property was classified as resort development in the past. But Lussi said he wants the entire property, which is over 100 acres and includes a golf course, to be classified as planned development.
Chip Bissell is a member of the Lake Placid\North Elba Joint Review Board. He pointed out that the height of any new buildings would still be regulated by the state Adirondack Park Agency.
He also noted that the change gives the review board more control over a building's height, even though there is no set limit.
