Information is Power

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas  – Remember the venomous West African Banded Cobra that  went missing in North Texas  last week? Well, it’s still on the loose and now, it is apparently taking to  Twitter  and  Facebook  to share its adventures as search efforts continue. The snake’s username is “Grand Prairie Cobra” and its Twitter bio reads, “Just a cobra visiting and seeing the sites of Grand Prairie and North Texas.” Granted, this social media account isn’t actually run by the snake, but the user behind it is getting creative with its Twitter posts. So much so that the snake’s profile has over 5,300 followers and counting. Whether it’s slithering through the grass or creeping on other critters, you’ll probably get a laugh as you scroll through the Tweets. According to Grand Prairie police, the snake went missing around 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 3. from a residence in the 1800 block of Cherry Street. Animal services, the owner of the snake, and a venomous snake apprehension professional searched

IGP OKOTH OCHOLA "I want to personally thank IP Joshua Cheptegei, who pulled off two incredible performances, to become a double medalist, with gold in the 5000m race, and a silver in the 10.000m race.  And also greatly thank SPC Peruth Chemutai , who made history and became the first female police athlete to win a gold medal, when she won it in the 3000m steeple chase. I thank you for emulating our fallen hero, the late SSP John Akii-Bua, who was the first athlete to win gold for Uganda at the 1972 Olympic games in Munich, when he won the 400 meters hurdles.  He was also from Police. To all the other athletes who represented the country, but fell short of the medals, I do thank them too, and ask them not to give up. We are aware the preparations for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics were challenging due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  You however, managed to inspire us when you showed how committed, dedicated, resilient, determined and hard working you were, that enabled

This 👇👇 is a statement he posted. I would have liked to leave differently but I guess never a goodbye can be a nice thing... I would have loved to stay here, I did everything with that goal and in the end it wasn't given. I only have words of thanks to everyone who joined me in so many years at the club. And for our fans, who gave me all their love and that I tried to give it back to them, I also gave everything for this shirt. I'm leaving but it's not a goodbye, just a later. Hooray for Barça!!!

How it all started In part 1 of this 12 series about My Story, I talked about the importance of Image to success of a business. This should have come in after part 2. But Image being the main aspect for the success of winning a deal, I just wanted to hit your imagination with that first. In part two of this story, we are going to learn about how it all started. My Parents Isaac Anguyo and Salome Anguyo were both Teachers who started from Primary School teaching to become Teachers Training Tutors. You can imagine the discipline a teacher can enforce on you. For my case it was double in portion.  I remember in 1988 when after not changing the goats to another pasture and they were not satisfied and I knew there would be trouble at home, I drove the goats in the Potato Garden of the Principal of the College, Mr. Barnabas Avinyia. After 2 hours of systematic eating, the goats were just too full but the Potato Garden was clean and when I reached home, my father was too excited that I was gi

In Uganda, especially with the mushrooming shopping malls, hardly a day passes by without a new business being started. Based on that, many people and research reports have concluded that Ugandans are an enterprising lot. The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Report 2004 indicated that over one in every three adult Ugandans is engaged in some form of entrepreneurial activity, resulting in Uganda being ranked the second most entrepreneurial country in the world. However, the study also showed that the rate of failure of businesses in Uganda was also one of the highest in the world, citing that for every business that was started, another closed.  This means that there is high formation rate of new enterprises but also high failure rate of newly-formed enterprises. Likewise, a look at newspapers indicates that a number of businesses are being put under receivership. Therefore, it is one thing to start a business and another to sustain it.  Recently, I read something amazing about the Chine
