Kisuule's cooperative turns to profit-making investments
When Danstan Kisuule resigned from his job in 2009 to concentrate on growing a savers' cooperative, his colleagues were worried about how he would manage to keep afloat.
The Young Savers Association for Ventures and Entrepreneurship (Y Save cooperative) he started 14 years ago on January 24, 2000 has since grown from the original 15 members to now close to 4,000. Y Save cooperative, a savings and investment scheme, considered as one of the biggest in the country, has seen its savings grow to more than Shs3 billion, while the share capital and reserves have also grown to more than Shs3 billion. The cooperative has assets worth more than Shs7 billion at cost value. Y-Save was registered with the Registrar of Cooperatives in the Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Industry and it changed its name to become Y-Save Cooperative Savings Credit Society Ltd on November 26, 2004.Due to the needs from the members of Y-Save to get involved in other areas of business and investments, Y-Save changed its legal status to become Y-Save Multi-Purpose Cooperative Society Ltd on May 22, 2013.
Beneficiaries' voice
Ms Barbara Buyondo Ofwono the proprietor of Victorious Educational Services' is one of the pioneer members who had lost hope in banks that had refused to give her a loan.
She then approached her colleagues at Y Save Club who offered her a Shs1.3 million to renovate her first premises at Namirembe Road near Pride Theatre.
After renovations she set off with about 30 children and these have spread to over 3500 with four campuses. Some campuses are found along Namirembe road in Kampala and another primary school located in Mbalala, Mukono district.
"I was the first member to borrow money from Y Save Club and they have been part of my growth," Ms Ofwono Shares.
Much as the core saving seem little, this cooperative has attracted a range of people from company Chief Executive Officers to students, cleaners and those people who are under the care of the church, for instance the widows and ladies who are affected and living with HIV –from Watoto Church's NGO, 'Living Hope' organisation.
Altogether, the association has 700 direct members, 700 Living Hope Ladies and more than 2,500 students.
Managing the growth in numbers from the original 15 members to the current 4000 members has been a challenge.
Kisuule says the other challenges have to do with managing people's expectations. Many people have heard about this club and when they come in to join, they think it's a get quick rich association. "During the AGM people complain a lot. Yet the core objective of the club was for us to get together and use the economies of scales available to improve our financial circumstances," he says.
"Some people don't have a business inclination and their expectations tend to be different," Kisuule adds.
Kisuule's future investment options
The cooperative plans to buy land for agriculture and seize the opportunities that the industry presents.
"The future is in agriculture. Uganda is one of the few countries where there are two rainy seasons and we want to make use of this aantage," he said. Asked about the market for the produce, Kisuule said: "We already have the customers. Members of our churches grow food and every Sunday we shall be selling the proceeds at a lower cost. We have the resources and we shall use modern farming which will involve irrigation even without the rains they will be producing all year-round."
This year, they will start the construction of four-storied-apartments which they intend to sell out to their members. Since finishing the apartments is costly, the cooperative will only build, fix doors, windows and plumbing facilities then the rest will be done by the members who will have acquired the apartments. This, he says, will help their members to save the money they have been spending on rent. They are also looking at the transportation business. Many of the members have children who go to school and hire different vehicles yet most of the children go to the same schools. In their transport business, they intend to collectively get the buses to do that job at a lower cost.
Savings products for members
The cooperative's system of compulsory saving has seen members learn the culture of saving. Members have become disciplined in the way they save and this is exhibited by the beehive of activity at their offices as everyone struggles to make their payments.
To save with this club, members get interests on the different accounts and they are also helped to plan for their money through the different accounts designed for livelihood needs like school fees, construction, health and pension. Apart from the compulsory savings account members also save school fees monthly for their children.
Under the school fees account which is classified into three categories namely: School Fees Short- for those members who pay termly education School fees Medium – where one can only withdraw after five years-Secondary school fees and School Fees Long which can only be withdrawn after 15-years,this caters for University tuition.
Target Account When one has a specific target like getting marriedwedding, buying a car, going for vacations, or buying land. Members save monthly for a specified period but they can only withdraw this money after a specified target month expires. Short term withdrawals are those done after a period of one to three months Medium term withdrawals are done after one and half years whereas long term withdrawals are done after five years.
Children's Account Under this account, members are encouraged to save startup capital for their children. The intention is to have the children utilise these savings for business when they are above 18 years old.
Medical Account Under this category members save money to cater for relatives or family members who are not covered by any medical insurance scheme. The Account enables one to put aside money but they are not allowed to access it unless they produce a medical bill. This is especially good for elderly relatives or one's parents. It can also come in handy if one falls out of employment.
Pension Account This is meant to provide a safety net for members when they retire. It is also especially helpful to members who are self-employed because it helps to relieve retirement pressure. Members earn compound interest from all these accounts they save into.
Creating the cooperative
Kisuule, who was working as an engineer at National Housing Corporation, had the desire to teach people how to make conscious choices about money. This pushed him to ditch his job and to start the cooperative. Together with his 14 colleagues who were praying at the then Kampala Pentecostal Church, which was later rebranded into Watoto Church-under their fellowship dubbed 'Young Workers,' Kisuule crafted the idea of starting to save.
"Our main objective was to teach ourselves and others the culture of saving, because many of us were working but there was nothing to show for it," Kisuule recalls.Initially, the members were required to save Shs5,000 every three months, then this was raised to Shs10, 000 every two-months.
Then the savings went up to Shs20, 000 then to Shs50, 000 every month. Early this year, they raised the contribution to Shs90, 000 every month and this is compulsory.
Criteria of joining the cooperativeOne must be actively involved in Watoto Churches Ministry.When they opened up for everybody to save, some people were excited and saved for a few months but along the way, many started defaulting. In order to keep the cooperative operational, regulations were put in place to see that people comply and those who would default were penalised.Kisuule shares that when someone defaults the first month the cooperative gives a penalty of 7 per cent and one is given a warning letter. In the second month one forfeits the same interest and a final warning letter. In the third month if one doesn't save, heshe is refunded all their savings and closes their account.
"We don't entertain non-active members," he says.But when a member has lost a job, he or she is required to write to the cooperative about the scenario then heshe is given a grace period of up to six months. When this period expires and a member has not yet secured another job, the cooperative closes that account. At a later date when the member secures a new job the account can be reopened.
Operating a savings cooperative Mr Daniel Joloba, an expert on Savings cooperative Formation and Management, tips on how to manage a successful savings cooperative. Rules: Respect the rules and regulations set up by the savings cooperative.Diversify: Do not invest in one vehicleventure spread the savings into different businesses so that if one blows up at least you will not lose all your savings.Record keeping and accountability is very vital. Share the accounts whether monthly or weekly with the members.

text: Organizers are worried about inadequate security for the Olympic Games set to begin next month in London. What security threat are they anticipating exactly? It's true the Olympics have become a bullseye for globalization critics. More and more, both athletes and groupies represent the jet set. But other than past indigenous protests in the Commonwealth territories, which amounted to no more than nonviolent blockades, what does the UK need paramilitary forces to defend against this time? Another 1972 Munich massacre? At the summer Olympics in Munich, the Israeli wrestling team was murdered by PLO terrorists called the "Black September Brigade", but the official narrative leaves off that the Israeli athletes were targeted because they were IDF soldiers who'd participated in the counter-insurgent near-complete rout of the PLO, known as Black September. So that raises an interesting question. Is London expecting to host Israeli athletes who were veterans of Operation Cast Lead or the attack on the Mavi Marmara, whose assassinations someone might want to avenge? British authorities could address that most handily with preemption, because this time the IDF campaign against Gaza was widely regarded to have violated international law. Warn Team Israel that any such veteran setting foot in England would face prosecution for war crimes. While London is at it, issue the same warning to Team USA. Yeah, and Team UK, and Team Germany, et cetera, for Afghanistan, Libya, now Syria. It's become the 2012 NATO War Criminals Olympics, gone professional, no amateur status terrorists need apply.

Hi there Luna! I'm excited and a bit scared to sit down with you tonight! How are you doing this evening?
Hello Chiffon, I'm doing well, thanks for asking! I have to say I have no idea why you would be scared.. It's not like I eat poop dressed as elderly women or anything crazy like that. I am glad to hear you're excited though that makes me feel relevant!
Oh yes, very relevant! In fact, of all the interviews we're doing with the Miss NotSafe4Werk.com gurls, this is definitely one of them! So let's start from the very beginning where are you from?
Well, I was born in Citrus Heights California, which is right outside of Sacramento. And I've been here all thirteen years of my life.
*Ahem* Yes, sure honey. What was your first exposure to drag? When did you get lured in by the siren's call of foam hips and multiple pairs of pantyhose?
When I was about fourteen I had found a bunch of old makeup from the 80s in my grandmothers house. And I started playing with it every day! One of the first "drag" looks I did was a character from "Peewee's Playhouse" named Jambi. I know SHOCKING! Luna Nova does a character! Starting out I just had a huge passion for makeup. And I wanted to work in the beauty industry so badly. But I never had models or even a whole lot of friends who were dying for me to paint them with giant creases and Cher cheeks. So I continued doing girl makeup on myself almost every night. And it just evolved from there, I started playing with wigs and dresses and finally after years of contractions and dilating.. I gave birth to LUNA!
I can't even imagine how terrifying the birth of Luna must have been. How quickly did it take you to figure out who Luna is? What would you say your personal style of drag is?
It was pretty terrifying! When I came out, the doctor cut my crease and slapped my padded bum. Starting out was honestly a nightmare for me! Even though I had a some what steady hand with makeup and little knowledge with wigs and style I was an AWKWARD ASS drag baby! Let's just start with the fact that I had braces then…no performing experience or even an ounce of personality. It took me a long time to find where I fit in with style and performance. I met a local day time prostitute along the way who now goes by the name "Anita Procedure". Anita happened to do a lot of theatric drag at the time, and really helped me open my eyes to a whole new world of performing that was right up my ass… I mean alley. I would say my personal style of drag now is whatever is on sale and I can fit over my hips..
There are things that fit over those hips? I just assumed nothing form fitting would make it over them and that's why you went with the poofy ballgown for evening gown. See that flawless segue I made to the Miss NotSafe4Werk.com pageant? What made you want to compete in a first time, online drag pageant?
I think over the last few years drag has become such a big thing thanks to social media, and "Rupaul's Drag Race" of course. And with this pageant being online, it's allowed members of my family and friends to actually have a look into my world and the world of drag and get a better understanding of what it is I actually do with the comfort of sitting on a toilet seat and not in a crowded gay bar! And that's really I why I chose to participate in it. I think it's the first of its kind and one of many to come!
The sitting on the toilet while competing option was real big selling point of the pageant to use all. How would you characterize your experience in the pageant? What was the most enjoyable part of it for you? What about the most challenging?
Going into to this pageant, I knew I was up for a big challenge with my zero video editing experience and a fan base made up of my boy self and my mom but I made do with what I had week after week. My most enjoyable week was the swimsuit challenge! Although I lost my other wig and earirng to the roaring rapids. I loved filming on the water and just being my goofy self for that week. Oh and as a competitive swimmer, my whole childhood finally became useful for something! I think the most challenging part of this was me getting too much in my own head. I've always been the type of person to try and set my self apart from other people. I would say obscurity is defiantly one of my features. But sometimes I second guess myself and underestimate the power of simplicity. Haha!
I'm sure that's just the reason your mom put you in swimming lessons as a child! So overall, were you happy with how you did? Was it a positive experience for you overall? If you could change one thing about the pageant, what would you change?
I was really impressed with myself at the end. I tried my hardest each week to show diversity but stay true to myself and I think I did an alright job. It was a very positive experience like I said, sharing it with my family, friends and coworkers was just so cool! I don't think I would change a thing about this pageant. It really was an amazing experience and I'm so proud of my sisters, the judges, and everyone who made this happen!
What future goals do you have for yourself as a drag queen?
Like most queens "Rupaul's Drag Race" is definitely a big goal I have for myself. But I think for right now I still have a lot of maturing and growth to do with my drag. I've recently been inspired to start a YouTube channel and continue making videos of whatever pops in my big fat head. I'd also like to try and break into "stand up comedy"! It's a goal I've had for a long time and is something I know will challenge me!
Luna, thank you so much for being a part of our first ever pageant. You have legitimately made me belly laugh on numerous occasions. I am definitely a fan of yours and not just because you have an ample rear end just like I do. I can't wait to see what you do next. Do you have any final words of wisdom for the readers before we call it a night?
Chiffon… All I have to say Is: I AM THE PENELOPE CRUZ OF DRAG!
Deven created a monster with that critique!

Good morning again! As promised, I am back! Had a nice breakfast with my bride and now have my coffee in hand and ready to type. The picture above is one that was taken nine days after I got home from surgery with Marcy and my Grandson Alan. He had Grandparents Day that day and surgery or not I was determined to be there. Love these two so much and it go me thinking about the topic for today; don't take it for granted…..
As I said, this picture was taken nine days after coming home from my hip replacement surgery. Thinking back it is amazing the things I couldn't do that I did take for granted such as:
1. Peeing!- Not sure if you all have been under or not but one of the things that happens is EVERYTHING shuts down. So the day of surgery after I woke up, I felt like I had to pee but could not! That has to be one of the most frustrating things I have ever experienced. Especially when the threat of them sticking a catheter up there if you don't pee in time….Then once I did I had zero control over it which was so embarrassing I can't even describe it…….
2. Walking!- Because they literally removed my leg from my hip I had to learn how to walk again. I mean my brain knew how but my legs had to be "re-trained". Still seven weeks later I'm not 100 percent but its another thing I feel most of us take for granted.
3. Taking a Shower!- Especially at first this was an awful experience. I needed help to get into the tub, was scared of falling and messing up my incision, and I really couldn't bend my leg so it was a long, hard road back from that. Today I jumped for joy as I needed no help from any device, turned around in the shower, and was able to bend my legs up so I could dry them. Seems like something small but when you can't do it, it's HUGE!
4. Sleep!- Until just a couple of days ago I was getting no more than 5 hours of sleep a night and even that was only 2 hours at a time or so. It's hard to function in life much less heal from a major surgery when you can't sleep. Two days ago though I had a breakthrough and slept for EIGHT HOURS! Eight hours of heavenly bliss and only up a couple of times to pee which was amazing. I had so much energy, I did some housework which I haven't been able to do in two months (hopefully my wife was happy) 🙂
There are so many more thing I could get into but these are the main ones. Today, learn from me and don't take anything for granted. If you got up this morning and was able to shower and walk around, you have been blessed beyond imagination! That is reason enough to SMILE and LAUGH!! Love you all and continued prayers as I get ever closer to a full recovery. 🙂
Grace and Love,

We are delighted to welcome Alistair Moffat, prolific historian and former Rector of the University of St Andrews, back to our town for the release of his beautiful new work, The Hidden Ways. Charting old roads and paths through Scotland, Alistair has created a rich and lyrical account of lost pathways throughout our countryside, and of those who traversed them. Spanning centuries and encompassing main thoroughfares, pilgrimage routes and warpaths, The Hidden Ways is a fascinating voyage into our past through the examination of the journeys of those who preceded us.
Alistair is one of the most recognised faces of Scottish historical writing, and as Former Director of the Edinburgh Fringe, previous Director of Programmes at STV, and Co-Chairman of the Great Tapestry of Scotland, his influence on (and stature within) Scottish culture is undeniable. It is a pleasure to host him in the bookshop and we do hope you will join us as we retrace Scotland's Hidden Ways.

It could be as simple as suggesting a product when you ask Alexa how to get rid of that stain on your shirt We've weaned ourselves off banner advertisements, with a fifth of us using ad blockers in our internet browsers, according to research firm eMarketer. So-called "native advertising" online, where advertising is presented in a similar way to editorial, has failed to take off. A US study last year from Stanford University found native advertising is no better at getting us to buy than standard online ads.
"Consumers are very good at filtering out messages," explains Lisa Du-Lieu, a senior lecturer in marketing at Huddersfield University. "If you don't get their attention within the first couple of seconds, it just bounces off them."
For that reason, brands are shifting their attention to platforms and formats that they know we are engaged with. "Advertising goes where the eyeballs go," says James Whatley, an independent advertising expert, formerly of global advertising agency Ogilvy.
However, a large part of the user appeal of some of these platforms, such as WhatsApp or Alexa, is that they are currently ad-free. So ads encroaching on hitherto virgin territory could raise some hackles. Nevertheless, you can expect ads in places you might not have expected before. Batten down the hatches and prepare yourself for the advertising onslaught.

U.S. and UN Peace and Security Issues
About the Project
Given the conceivable sources of instability and conflict around the world in which the United States could take preventive action, I research, write, and hold meetings on ways to prevent, defuse, and reduce deadly conflict and to expand the body of knowledge on conflict prevention. These efforts include Preventive Action Workshops and Flashpoint Roundtables, and daily updates to the Global Conflict Tracker. I also post regularly on my blog, Politics, Power, and Preventive Action, write a column for ForeignPolicy.com, and publish CFR publications such as Council Special Reports, Contingency Planning Memoranda, and the annual Preventive Priorities Survey.
This project is made possible through support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

Thrive Nutrition Services contracted with the Bon Homme School District in 2010. Since then, Thrive has provided our district with a greater variety of foods and more home cooked style foods than our previous food service provider. We would highly recommend Thrive to any school district who would be interested in changing their current food service program. Thrive implemented their transition plan in year one working with us and the switch was seamless. Since then their team of cooks, kitchen management, dieticians, managers and owners have continued to provide quality service in the ever-changing school meal program. We have had no concerns the past four years, but had any concerns arisen, we know Thrive's management would have dealt with those concerns in a very timely manner. They keep us informed and check in on a regular basis to make sure things are running smoothly

Memorial Hospital Los Banos Awarded Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers
LOS BANOS, Calif.—Memorial Hospital Los Banos has earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval® and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association's Heart-Check mark for Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers. The Gold Seal of Approval® and the Heart-Check mark represent symbols of quality from their respective organizations.
"This is a very meaningful milestone for our community and our clinical care teams," said Tushar Patel, M.D., medical director for stroke at Memorial Hospital Los Banos. "Our community can have confidence and peace of mind in knowing that exceptional stroke care is available here, thanks to the time and hard work invested by our staff."
Memorial Hospital Los Banos, which is a part of Sutter Health's not-for-profit, integrated network, underwent a rigorous onsite review last March. Joint Commission experts evaluated compliance with stroke-related standards and requirements, including program management, the delivery of clinical care and performance improvement.
"Memorial Hospital Los Banos has thoroughly demonstrated the greatest level of commitment to the care of stroke patients through its Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers," said Patrick Phelan, executive director, Hospital Business Development, The Joint Commission. "We commend their teams for becoming a leader in stroke care, potentially providing a higher standard of service for stroke patients in its community."
"We congratulate Memorial Hospital Los Banos for achieving this designation," said Nancy Brown, chief executive officer, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. "By adhering to this very specific set of treatment guidelines Memorial Hospital Los Banos has clearly made it a priority to deliver high quality care to all patients affected by stroke."
Established in 2003, Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers is awarded for a two-year period to Joint Commission-accredited acute care hospitals. The certification was derived from the Brain Attack Coalition's "Recommendations for the Establishment of Primary Stroke Centers" (JAMA, 2000) and the "Revised and Updated Recommendations for the Establishment of Primary Stroke Centers" (Stroke, 2011).
Stroke is the number four cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States, according to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. On average, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds; someone dies of a stroke every four minutes; and 795,000 people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year. Memorial Hospital Los Banos' certification comes just in time for May, which is National Stroke Awareness Month.

Leverage the B-to-B Buy Cycle
By Russell Kern
Create a range of offers to motivate decision-makers at each stage.
Direct marketing professionals are asked to serve many masters on a daily basis. For example, on any typical day your sales force can be screaming for more qualified leads. The vice president of sales says, "Stop wasting money on marketing investments and just cut the product price, so the sales team can deliver the quarter's revenue." The vice president of marketing is investing wildly in untraceable awareness-building activities all the while asking you to prove every direct marketing ROI. Let us not forget aggressive product managers pushing to get out promotions for their newest product or software upgrade.
When you separate the issues surrounding the essentials of direct, the core obstacle to achieving success in B-to-B marketing becomes quite clear. The obstacle is managing the internal clients' (such as product managers and/or vice presidents of sales) expectations and lack of knowledge about direct. Few internal clients and senior managers actually understand the psychological dynamics of behavior motivation required for the B-to-B direct marketer. Further, they don't understand how to leverage the first three stages of the buy cycle to fill the sales funnel and drive prospects to engagement.
B-to-B buying is a journey. It begins with some internal or external factor that requires an improvement. For example, your firm's president says he wants to improve customer satisfaction rates, or new competition is entering the market and you need to reduce your product price.
Along the path, there are easy ways to measure actions a buyer makes that signals where he or she is in the buying process: from collecting basic category information, to establishing selection criteria, to issuing an RFP.
When you analyze the buy cycle for complex, high-ticket sales, you recognize the purchase process is long and complicated. No individual wants to be held accountable for a bad decision, so high-priced B-to-B products require multiple decision makers to participate in extensive selection and evaluation processes, all to facilitate the final purchase or engagement.

A craze which seemed little more than an excuse for IT geeks to get out into the countryside looks set to reach an unusual milestone.
Enthusiasts of the outdoor leisure sport geocaching are looking forward to marking the millionth buried trove.
Geocaches are simply hidden treasure troves, waterproof containers buried off the beaten track, often in crevices or beneath the roots of fallen trees, containing gifts, trinkets, medals and very occasionally small amounts of cash pinpointed at a precise lat/long position by a GPS satellite.
Since the unofficial launch of the craze five years ago, thousands of Britons have been taking part in the pastime – usually at weekends.
Anyone creating a cache traditionally leaves his or her treasure in a container complete with a log book with a message for the next geocacher to find.
Details of the location of the cache are then posted on a website with the precise GPS co-ordinates ready to be found – and there are now hundreds of them across the UK.
More than 50 already exist in the English Lake District and many more in the Yorkshire Dales, and beyond.
New Sport Thanks to Clinton
Geocachers maintain the pastime is a responsible and fun extension of the hide and seek game which many adults would have played around their home with paper and pencils.
It was born when the GPS signal degradation called Select Availability (SA) was removed by the Clinton Administration on May 1st, 2000, opening up the possibility of the new sport.
Caches in 50 States
Since the launch of a dedicated web site, the geocaching sport has grown to caches in all 50 states and over 100 countries. Even Belize has a geocache society.
Andrew Shaw, a firefighter from Leeds, West Yorkshire, says geocaching has added a new dimension to his outdoor rambling activities.
As a fireman, already a keen walker and fitness fanatic, he bought a GPS receiver for £100, and has already unearthed geocaches at Brimham Rocks, near Ripon, and Thruscross Reservoir, near Harrogate.
Pleasures of Walking
Hundreds more lie waiting to be discovered in the Yorkshire region alone, as well as across the UK and Europe.
Andrew says: "One of the pleasures of walking is the ability to get out and about and to enjoy the countryside, and to discover new routes.
"While the traditional OS map is fine for this sort of thing, the GPS system adds that extra bit of interest and geocaches are often located in hard to find places.
"The caches are buried responsibly by people who care as much about the countryside as anyone else, and there are explanation notes inside each box should anyone stumble or unearth a buried cache.
"I'm fairly new to geocaching, but there are hundreds more who take the pastime very seriously on an almost weekly basis.
"While I'm never particularly interested in the contents of the cache per se, it's a good excuse to get out into the countryside."
Ramblers' Association
One glance at a search engine under the topic of 'geocache' reveals the depth of interest which families have in the pastime. 'In-car' GPS systems are also allowing leisure drivers to make longer drives and short walks to the cache.
A Ramblers' Association spokeswoman said: "The Ramblers' Association promotes walking and encourages people to visit the countryside. The joy of walking is in its simplicity.
"You don't need expensive gear or equipment to go walking and it is as much enjoyed by the rural stroller who can spare 30 minutes as it is by the dedicated rural hiker. Geocaching is another way that people can get out into the countryside and we hope that it encourages them to explore more widely."
The official geocaching website is www.geocaching.com, which has a clickable link to help walkers discover the nearest geocache site to their home location, whether this be in the UK or throughout the world.
Geocaching Etiquette
Geocaching is an enjoyable pastime played with a GPS and combines a cacher's skill with the fun of a treasure hunt. Geocache owners invest quite a bit of time, ingenuity, and sometimes money into placing cache containers for players to find. That being said, there are a few courtesies that players and cache owners should adhere to when playing the game.
Tips For Geocache Owners
It should go without saying that cache containers should never be hidden in a dangerous location so as to intentionally pose serious risk of injury or loss of life to a cacher, but there always seems to be someone that ignores the obvious. See Geocaching Safety for more safety tips.
Never hide caches on private property without permission of the land owner, and never hide them near locations that might cause a cacher to have an unwanted encounter with law enforcement such as near a school, daycare, playground, military checkpoint, or other similar location.
Caches should never be buried, but always carefully hidden above ground. Hiding them in trees, crevices, under rocks or leaves is acceptable. In addition, always use a waterproof container to help protect the contents of the cache. There's nothing pleasant in opening a cache to find the contents soaked, molded, or ruined. The cache owner then has to make a maintenance trip to replace the container and contents.
Make sure co-ordinates are as accurate as possible by taking several readings with a GPS and averaging them. Upon posting the co-ordinates, be sure to proofread them for errors. Bad co-ordinates result in wasted time looking in the wrong location, thereby causing cachers to log a "Did Not Find." If a geocache receives too many "DNF" reports, the cache could be disabled by a reviewer until the problem is corrected.
Tips For Geocachers
Always practice discretion when caching in public locations. Try not to let non-geocachers, also known as "Muggles", see the location of a hidden cache. This is the number one reason that caches go missing, or in geocaching terminology, "get muggled."
The second most common reason for a missing cache is another cacher moving it to a "better location" or a "better hiding place." Never move the cache container from its original location. If the cache is out in the open, it may just need to be recovered with leaves or branches. If in doubt, contact the cache owner, but don't move it.
When encountering other cachers at a geocache location, introducing yourself is encouraged, but don't give away the location of the cache, if known, unless asked for help in finding it. It's tantamount to telling someone the ending of a book that they haven't read yet.
Don't take an item from a cache without having something to trade for it, preferable of equal or greater value. If taking geocoins or travel bugs, don't keep them. Move them to another cache so someone else can help keep them moving along. Make sure to log the finds and drops as soon as possible. This helps to keep the cache log history current.
Try to use good judgment at all times when caching. Remember that the game is designed to be fun. Always try to avoid any action that might detract from the game. If everyone follows these simple guidelines, the game benefits and so do its players.

Recently, I parked at Bottleworks in the lot behind the businesses. I went up to the parking box, followed the instructions and got a ticket to park. When I returned to the lot an hour and 15 minutes later, both our cars were booted. Shocked, I showed the man our ticket. He said, "You cannot eat at The Grit and park here." With no other choice, I paid the $75 fee.
This is an unfair and unwelcome practice by the Bottleworks. If they want more business and more customers, they need to reevaluate their parking. If a lot is a paid lot, and people pay to park there, they should not find their cars booted.
The other lots in town use a mobile parking app where parking guests may pay for the time they park there. As an alternative, the Bottleworks might establish a stamp system whereby people might get their ticket stamped for free parking if they shop in the Bottleworks.
What exists now is not only unfair and unwelcoming to customers, but it is also confusing. How did the attendant know that I didn't go to Lululemon after eating at The Grit? How did the attendant know I didn't have a cup of coffee at Hendershot's?
I live in Athens. But imagine a visitor experiencing such a punishment when they think they've done what was necessary to park in that lot. Will that visitor return to Athens? What will that person tell their friends about our community? I might add, a visitor to Athens was with me when our cars were booted. I can only imagine what she thought about our community after seeing our shock and dismay at having our cars so rudely booted.
Personally, I will avoid the Bottleworks for anything in the future.

YETI Rambler Stainless Steel Tumbler
Picking an insulated tumbler looks simple and easy enough. But once you get to see and use the YETI Rambler, you'll realize that you've been choosing the wrong ones all along. You see, the Rambler may have the looks of a conventional beverage travel mug or tumbler but it comes with a neat feature you may never see in other items. This is a tough, safe, and leakproof mug for the most adventurous guys and gals of the current generation.
As mentioned, there's nothing extraordinary with the YETI when one only looks at it from the outside. One has to use the Rambler to appreciate one of YETI's most innovative solutions ever. This travel mug comes with YETI's signature MagSlider lid that keeps your drink inside the 20-ounce canister. This is very different from the sliding lid mechanism of other travel mugs. Those still leak beverage, spilling the mug's content onto your lap or in your bag.
The MagSlider lid offers a more secure way of keeping liquids within its double-walled chamber. This means you'll get every drop of your juice, beer, whiskey, plain water, or any other beverage that you wish to put in the Rambler. So when you pour 20 ounces of that liquid, you'll know you'll be drinking 20 ounces and not less.
Pouring your favorite beverage into the Rambler is also easy because of its extra-wide lip diameter of 3.5 inches. The other good thing about the Rambler is that it can fit cup holders with standard dimensions. This is despite the fact that the YETI tumbler is about 6 and 7/8 inches tall.
Like all travel mugs, the Rambler features a double-walled construction with vacuum insulation in the middle. You get to retain the ideal temperature of your drink for a longer period of time. You also get to enjoy holding the tumbler in your hands without ever fussing about moisture or condensation on the mug's surface.
This YETI creation comes in 17 color variations that feature the Dracut technology. This guarantees that the paint color will never peel, crack, or fade with the passage of time. Moreover, the technology gives you a textured surface upon which you can stabilize your grip of the Rambler.
With shatter-resistant construction, adorable designs, and a leakproof magnetic technology, the YETI Rambler is something that outdoor adventurers should make an important part of their gear. Ordinary folks should have it, too.

Why T shirts are so popular?
Until 1951 the T shirts were considered to be the undergarments especially under the navy uniform or proper shirt. With James Dean wearing the t- shirt under his signature red Harrington jacket in the year 1955, the T shirts have become the most popular garment. It can either be ironic, sexy, elitist or democratic. Vivienne Westwood collection of T shirts was very influential with her disruptive designs for 20th century.
Westwood along with McLaren were actually shocking people with their symbols which they used on the T shirts like the Swastiks, upside down crosses and several other disturbing images. She just deconstructed T shirts in the year 1970 and still continues the same. They have also arranged several exhibitions where they have displayed the variety of printed t- shirts. She takes photographs of various people with a similar kind of setup, facing away from the camera and wearing T shirts with a particular kind of message. As an artist she knows how to deliver the context to the public. Public is forced to look at the perception which is provided over the T shirt.
The T shirts were delivering messages about what we believe, who we are, particular group for which we belong, what it needs to say about gender, about art, about fashion and lot more. The show also includes the ancient origin of T shirts that has actually started with medieval tunics and which works on defining gender and the unisex garments. It's all about creating great conversations all around and she has been successfully doing it. Those who visit the exhibition also prefer to choose their favorite T shirt from her collection and always continue with the conversations. One will definitely fall in love with the range of T shirt collection which she has at the exhibition.

Fishing Report: Bartlett Lake
The water temperature has dropped from 88 to 69 degrees during the past 3 weeks. Water level on Wednesday was 1,753 feet (45-percent full). Bass should be feeding heavily in preparation for winter.
Guide Gary Senft reported that a full fall pattern is in effect. Bass are not as active on the surface has they had been a few weeks ago. Most fish will move in shallow early in the morning and then retreat to about 15 feet deep. The crankbait bite is slow, but dropshot and Texas rigs are producing fish. The best bite seems to be later in the day when the water has warmed a bit — fish late afternoons if possible.
Best baits have been Roboworms on dropshots, crawdad imitations such as brush hogs on Texas rigs, and Yamamoto jigs. Good colors have been reds, oranges, morning dawn and green pumpkin. In general, fish 10-35 feet deep.
Crappie reports indicate these speckled delicacies have been moving from deep water to about 10 feet. Some anglers were having success with small crankbaits by the power lines by the dam. Try small jigs or live minnows for crappie in 10 to 20 feet of water during the day. Most crappie have been in the 8- to 10-inch range but some anglers reportedly were catching crappie up to 2 pounds.
See Senft's YouTube channel for more Arizona fishing tips.

The 34.5mm. gold plated case with stainless steel screw back displays very fine condition for its age. The original gold dial and handset look excellent! The original OMEGA winding crown is worn at the tip but still present and perfectly functioning-looks great on the wrist!

There are many different interpretations of what hell would be like, many people believe that it would be a pit of fire that we'd never be able to escape from and others already believe that we're living in hell as we speak. Saints Row 4, a video game which resembles the Grand Theft Auto franchise has a different interpretation of what hell would be like in their new expansion pack for Saints Row 4. "Gat Out Of Hell" is the latest expansion pack for Saints Row 4 which is also being released as a standalone title as well. This new expansion is being released on January 27th in North America and January 30th in the United Kingdom.
When you first load "Gat Out Of Hell" you will notice that the environment has changed greatly since you last played this game. Everything is darkened in order to resemble the hellish theme of this expansion pack. All of the enemies will remind you of creatures from the abyss and your super human abilities will consist of hellish abilities. It makes for an experience that is not only frightening but fun for everyone to enjoy.
Saint Row 4: Gat Out Of Hell will be the first Saints Row standalone title to be released on the PlayStation 4 & Xbox One. Gat out of Hell is also being released on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. You can pre-order this game at any local game retail shop in your area.

There are times when I just cannot believe what I get myself into. Latest example: I joined a reading group and committed to reading War and Peace over the summer at a pace of 150 pages or so per week. As if I don't have enough to read with teaching two brand new courses during the next academic year, as well as the 24-7 demands of running a big academic program that never stop, blah, blah, blah. Actually, I'm having a lot of fun rediscovering Tolstoy through this 1350 page novel that I have not read since my undergraduate days. The philosopher in me prefers Dostoevsky's depth, darkness, and weirdness, but the reader and novel lover in me resonates with Tolstoy. It's just that I'm not getting anything else done. I'm reading Tolstoy on the elliptical machine at the gym, Tolstoy on campus when I should be writing important emails and attending important meetings, Tolstoy at home when I should be staying current with "The Voice" and "Mad Men." On my silent retreat this coming week, during which I'm planning to write at least eighty-three new essays for my blog, I'm sure I'll be reading Tolstoy instead.
When I read a great work of literature, and they don't come any greater than War and Peace, I always find myself resonating with a particular character, more or the less the character I would be if I were to jump into the novel. About five hundred pages into War and Peace (a chapter or so past the Introduction, in other words), that character is Prince Andrei Nikolaevich Bolkonsky. I find Natasha, the main female character, annoying and Pierre, the main male character, needs a good kick in the ass, but I get Andrei. This morning on the stationary bicycle at the gym, Andrei went through an experience so familiar to me that it was scary. As a young twenty-something Andrei joined the Russian army as an officer and fought against the forces of Napoleon at Austerlitz. Wounded in battle and presumed dead, Andrei finds his way home to his family just in time for his wife to die in giving birth to their first child. Now, two years later, Andrei is depressed, cynical, and finding it difficult to find joy or meaning in anything. Travelling in early spring to one of his estates, Pyotr his footman comments on the beauty of the April morning, the flowers, and the new leaves on the birch trees. Andrei's attention is drawn instead to a stand of stagnant fir trees, then to an apparently dead oak tree. "With its huge ungainly limbs sprawling unsymmetrically, and its gnarled hands and fingers, it stood an aged, stern, and scornful monster among the smiling birch-trees."
"Spring, love, happiness!" this oak seems to say. "Are you not weary of that stupid, meaningless, constantly repeated fraud? Always the same, and always a fraud! There is no spring, no sun, no happiness! Look at those cramped dead firs, ever the same, and at me too, sticking out my broken and barked fingers just where they have grown, whether from my back or my sides: as they have grown so I stand, and I do not believe in your hopes and your lies."
And Andrei's mood and recent experiences are confirmed. "Let others—the young—yield afresh to that fraud, but we know life, our life is finished!"
Andrei's oak reminds me of another oak, the massive one a hundred feet or so outside the front door of my Collegeville Institute apartment door where I spent four sabbatical months a few years ago. I arrived in the middle of a Minnesota winter; although I am not prone to depression as Andrei was, I realize in retrospect that I carried deep within me a spiritual malaise and ennui that had been festering for years. My Collegeville oak looked as I felt inwardly that January—bare, cold, snow-covered, with few signs of life. Over the succeeding weeks, this oak became an inescapable presence in my life (it was the first thing I saw as I stepped out of my front door) and a metaphor for what was happening to me.
As the snow piled up, then slowly melted over the first couple of months, I found an accompanying inner thaw occurring, facilitated by the warmth of daily forays into the liturgy of the hours with the monks at St. John's Abbey a half mile or so up the road. One March morning as I stumbled back from the common area at the Institute with my morning Keurig coffee in tow, I walked up on a dozen or so deer hanging out under the oak. They apparently had also been there right under my nose ten minutes earlier as I emerged from my apartment half-asleep and oblivious to the world on my way to the common area. As they noticed me noticing them, they gave me their unique white-assed salute as they sauntered away. Signs of spring under the oak, which was still naked.
As April came and other trees budded into their springtime growth, my oak remained apparently lifeless. Then one morning as I walked past it taking my usual shortcut to the road up to the Abbey for 7:00 morning prayer, I noticed that on the ends of its lowest and smallest twigs signs of new growth were first emerging. "So you're alive after all, huh?" I muttered as I continued on, the same observation I had been making more and more frequently about myself as deeper and deeper spaces cracked open after a lifetime of neglect. I regularly took pictures from my front doorstep to track the oak's emergence into life and wrote essays to track my parallel inner emergence.
As the oak grew into full-blown spring splendor over the succeeding weeks, it more and more became my daily touchstone. "Hey there," I would say as I walked by three or four times a day coming or going, and I imagined that if I were able to live in tree time rather than human time, I would have heard a deep, rumbling, ponderous, Tolkien Ent-like "Hey yourself" in return. The oak's stability and lack of hurry became my own goal as I practiced slowing down and plugging into the rhythms of the newly discovered energies within me.
Four years later, when I think of Collegeville the first image that invariably comes to mind is my oak. Growth, stability, silence, fortitude, rootedness—it represents all of the things that I hope to have carried at least a bit from my months in Minnesota. On the half-dozen or so return visits I have made, a visit to the oak with more pictures has always been a "must-do." I have never been at Collegeville during the autumn, so I do not know what Minnesota foliage is like nor what colors the oak wears in late September and early October. I was raised in northern Vermont, the fall foliage capital of the universe, and in my imagination I see the oak garbed in brilliant orange, my favorite fall foliage color. Yellow or red would be okay, but I'll bet it's orange.
After Andrei encounters his oak tree in War and Peace, he spends several days inspecting his large land holdings, and then heads back toward his home outside of Moscow. Looking for the oak where he remembered first seeing it, he is at first confused.
Without recognizing it he looked with admiration at the very oak he sought. The old oak, quite transfigured, spreading out a canopy of sappy dark-green foliage, stood rapt and slightly trembling in the rays of the evening sun. Neither gnarled fingers nor old scars nor old doubts and sorrows were in evidence now. Through the hard century-old bark, even where there were no twigs, leaves had sprouted such as one could hardly believe the old veteran could have produced.
"'Yes, it is the same oak,' thought Prince Andrei, and all at once he was seized by an unreasoning spring-time feeling of joy and renewal." Over the next eight hundred and fifty pages, I'm sure that Andrei will grapple more than once with depression and sorrow. But an encounter with what Isaiah would have called an "oak of righteousness" has changed him for good. I know exactly how you feel, Andrei.
They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.

Introduction: How to Make Pig Feet Souse!
A local delicacy in the Caribbean, souse made from pig or chicken feet is quite yummy. I myself am an addict and for years I have always wanted my own home blend. Since acquiring a neat little pressure cooker (thanks to the wife), I can now make souse!
Step 1: The Meat.
Frozen pig feet is easily sourced from local supermarkets or meat vendors.
Step 2: The Pressure Cooker.
The meat needs to be pressure cooked to make it tender and succulent.
Step 3: Cooking!
With the pieces washed and then covered in water, I put 2 tablespoons of salt in. Sealing the pressure cooker lid, I put the heat on medium and left it for half hour.
Step 4: Seasoning.
Once the cooker cooled off naturally, I put lime juice and lots of Shadowbeni into the pot. Next I stored the goodness in a plastic container for later enjoyment.

We worked hard over the weekend, planting a few more flowers in the pots and cleaning up our little garden. It is amazing how many leaves and things get tucked between a planter and a wall over the winter, so the planters were moved and the leaves were swept out!
I also got to finish the project I started on Friday, living in a little cottage things can get dusty fast and there is not always enough space to keep everything tucked away, so with the inspiration of a Martha Stewart How-To I saw ages ago, I devised a plan.
With a simple tea towel, I reworked the pattern to fit my doll house sized treasure, creating almost origami styled folds, but making sure to leave enough room to get around all the parts:
Did you guess what it is? Your right, a new sewing machine cover to keep it dust free and sitting pretty!

Your menu's stars, have you experienced them?
Yes, experienced them – not just eaten them. Smelled them, studied them on your fork, taken them carefully into your mouth, and examined their texture and taste like it was completely new to you?
This is mindful eating; the practice challenges you to 'eat' with all of your senses, enjoying the experience of interacting fully with what's on your plate or in your cup, down to the last crumb or drop.
Being more present and dipping those proverbial toes in mindfulness tends to find itself at the top of people's resolution lists this time of year. As a restaurant professional, mindfulness can help you be a more productive and tuned in team member. Mindful eating, specifically, will unlock insights and improvements that will take both your menu and your overall guest experience to the next level.
First, you may be wondering – what's mindfulness?
In Mindful Magazine, professor Jon Kabat Zinn defines mindfulness as "awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally."
Unfortunately, as with ordinary things we do every day, people often eat mindlessly. The essence of mindful eating is experiencing the food fully: tuning in to the experience of eating with no pre-conceived notions, biases or expectations. It is noticing the food and your experience of eating it consciously, with all of your senses.
Mindful eating is a great practice for customers when dining at your restaurant, but restaurant owners, managers, and staff can all also benefit from mindful eating practices. It's really a way to better evaluate and iterate on the experience you are providing to your guests – that careful combination of hospitality, ambiance, and food and drink – so you can keep them coming back again and again.
A large body of scientific and social research points to the benefits of mindfulness.The physical and emotional benefits are proven to lead to greater focus and productivity in the workplace, especially in restaurants.
Mindful eating, when used as a professional development tool for your team, can unlock it's own specific benefits, including ones like:
In truth, mindfulness can be applied to every aspect of the restaurant, from the color of the walls to the presentation of your entrees. Do the Beginner's Mind exercise – outlined below – as you enter your restaurant: Notice the décor, the lighting, the people, the atmosphere. Use all your senses. How do they strike you? What do you notice?
And now for some mindful eating practices to, well, practice at your restaurant.
Try incorporating one mindful eating exercise once a week with your staff at a pre-shift meal of your choosing. You'll quickly notice the benefits: your staff will have a deeper understanding of your menu, be able to upsell easier than ever, use the time saved on asking the kitchen to build relationships with your guests, and hear their honest feedback about how you're doing and ways you could make your guest experience even better.
After you complete an exercise, jot down some notes about what you experienced, what stood out, and what surprised you.
Here are three mindful eating practices to incorporate into your restaurants operations:
Pretend you have never seen this substance before, like an alien who just arrived on earth.
Use all of your senses to explore. Carefully take it in from different angles, note the colors and textures. Close your eyes and smell it. Touch it with utensils or even pick it up with your fingers, giving it a squeeze. Even when you put it in your mouth, see if you can pretend it's the first time you've ever tasted anything like it.
What do you experience? Note it with as much detail as you can, and what aspects strike you as positive, negative or neutral.
Begin with the food on a plate. Separate out one bite. As in the Beginner's Mind exercise, use all your senses prior to putting it in your mouth.
Notice your anticipation of the bite and the flavor. When you do put it in your mouth, do not bite or chew – Just roll it around in your mouth a little. Notice the texture, whether you can taste it, and what happened to your anticipation, if anything.
Then, bite down or chew slowly. Are you enjoying it? Notice every sensation – changes in what you taste, moving muscles of the jaw, whether you usually chew that long. As you swallow, notice the bite as long as you can, moving into your digestive system. Do this with as many bites of your food as you'd like.
With a meal before you, consider the story behind what's on your plate.
How did you select these items to put on the plate? Each of those probably has a back story. How do you feel about those selections now? Would you change anything on further consideration?
Then consider how the food got to its current form on your plate. You may know the hands that prepared each element of it in the kitchen, the person who ordered the ingredients, and those who take the food out to the diners. Notice any thoughts and emotions that arise about those people. Working back from that, there are people who worked at the suppliers' sites and farmers. Each meal has many participants and preparers.
Notice your reaction to this as you eat the meal. Do you feel gratitude, interest, community?
What makes your restaurant great?
Experience it for your yourself through mindful eating. Make an improvement in a dish – or the lighting, music, staff, or menu – and try one of the above exercises with the new version. How does it make you feel?
You'll come to identify and appreciate the nuances that make your restaurant unique. Use what you find to market your restaurant and stand out from the fold to your target customer.
Just so you know, we'll handle your info according to our privacy statement.

LONDON — Sterling was weighed down on Wednesday by fears that Prime Minister Boris Johnson's proposal to replace the Irish border "backstop" will not lead to a Brexit separation agreement with the European Union.
Johnson is expected to disclose his final Brexit offer to the EU later in the day and to make clear that if Brussels does not engage with the proposal, Britain will not negotiate further and will leave on Oct. 31.
A media report in the Telegraph newspaper on Tuesday said Johnson was planning to propose leaving Northern Ireland in large parts of the EU single market until at least 2025, but take the province out of the EU customs union along with the rest of the United Kingdom.
The proposal would be aimed at replacing the so-called backstop — an insurance policy to prevent the return of a hard border on the island of Ireland — that has become the biggest hurdle to securing an agreement with Brussels.
Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said the reported proposal would not provide the basis for a deal, adding that the proposal was "concerning."
Investors shared his skepticism, keeping the pound down 0.3% at $1.2276. Against the euro, sterling was also lower by 0.1% at 88.95 pence.
"I don't sense an agreement between the two sides," said Neil Jones, head of European hedge fund sales at Mizuho. Therefore, "we'll see a lower sterling" going forward.
With less than a month until Britain is due to leave the EU, it remains unclear how Britain will carry out its biggest trade and foreign policy shift in more than 40 years. It might leave with a deal, without one or not leave at all.
The multiple possibilities have left investors unwilling to trade the pound, going instead to the derivatives market to trade pound volatility.
"There is quite a lot of staying away from sterling," Jones said, adding he would be "looking to buy sterling volatility on dips."
