The blue-white colorscheme - which fit's very nice in my opinion - was designed to honor the Finnish rider Yrjö Vesterinen. He was three times in a row world champion with the Sherpa, 1976 - 1979. Expecially with this model he was third in 1981 and he also won the Scottish Six Days and the British championship.
Technical this model was the first and last Sherpa that got a six speed gearbox and has the "biggest" engine for trials bike Bultaco developed. The engine has 340cc.
The engine has a huge crank with around 6,5 kg, the rotor weights 3,4 kg and has too an extra flywheel on the clutch side with 2,6 kg this makes 12,5 kg of rotating masses. Therefor the engine produces extreme torque already when idling but is not very lively ... Maximum speed is btw. 87 km/h in standard gearing (55 miles/h) and the engine
doesn't like high rpm, (max rpm is 5,500 - 6,000), and feels quite well at low speed.
You just aim the route, then twist the throttle a little bit and the bike rolls nearly unstoppable forward, undependable to the underground or slope, it's too quite light: around 95 kg in standard trim.

- " Great location near the boardwalk in quiert area. 10-15 minut walk to the beach. Old and scruffy facilitis (bathroom and kitchen - but probobly not that different from other hostels in Split), but the room (private 2 bed room) was clean and airconditioned. Very friendly and helpfull staff. We felt very welcome, and I can fully recommend it. "

- " A short walk from the promenade. No reception, so you have to call for the staff to meet you and give you your rooms, or they simple sit at a bar and hope you walk by there :) Rooftop terrace is very nice to sit and have a drink with other guests :P It can be a bit crowded, as the common kitchen place is quite small. Only one toilet for the hostel, but there arent that many people sharing it. Staff is friendly and helpful. "

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Chattanooga Mocs volleyball team announced Thursday the signing of Lauren Greenspoon to a National Letter of Intent for the early signing period. A 5-foot-7 setter from Houston, Texas, Greenspoon expects to major in pre-professional biology at UTC.
"Signing day is always exciting for college coaches, but today is especially exciting," Head Coach Travis Filar said. "Lauren is a great kid who comes from a great family and background, and we are excited to add her to the Chattanooga volleyball family."
A three-year varsity starter and two-year varsity captain, the setter was a 2012 First Team All-District selection and 2012 Setter of the Year. Along with competing for Jersey Village High School, Greenspoon also set for one of the most prestigious club teams in the Houston area.
"Willowbrook Volleyball Club has one of the richest winning traditions in Texas," Filar said. "She has great experience on the court and is a true competitor. She works hard for her team mates, has a great winning attitude and we love how serious she is when she is in competition mode. She wants to win badly and will work hard to win."
To go along with an impressive winning resume, Greenspoon was also named to the 2013 VYPE and Lonestarvolleyball.com players to watch lists.
In 2012 alone, the setter's team was crowned Presidents Cup, Houston Shootout and Cross Court champions. She was a 2012 first place Northeast qualifier and her team placed fifth at Junior Nationals.
Lauren is a member of National Honor Society, Spanish National Honor Society and National Charity League.
Greenspoon is the daughter of Mike and Alice Greenspoon and has a twin brother, Jake, who has committed to play golf at the University of Texas at Arlington.
"Lauren is a very important addition to our program," Filar stated. "Adding another very capable setter to the program is really important for us as we continue to move forward."

Direct Agency of the Year: OgilvyOne
campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 15 December 2011 08:00AM
With consistently excellent DM campaigns for clients both big and small, OgilvyOne can now add a third win in five years to its plethora of awards.
In recent years, picking the Direct Agency of the Year has been relatively straightforward. But this year, the choice was far from clear-cut, and the competition fiercer than ever. Ultimately, it boiled down to a contest between two agencies: Lida and OgilvyOne. And to make the decision all the more difficult, just a week before we sat down to make our decision, Lida won O2 – by far the biggest direct marketing pitch of the year.
The win capped off an excellent year for Lida, but it just wasn't enough to take the crown from OgilvyOne which, for the second year running, has proved itself to be the most impressive agency in direct marketing.
The jewel in OgilvyOne's crown lies in its creative product and, ultimately, that was what nudged it ahead of Lida. With Charlie Wilson and Emma de la Fosse installed as executive creative directors towards the end of 2010, OgilvyOne's creative product has gone from strength to strength, with impressive campaigns for clients big and small, such as British Airways, British Gas, IBM, the ice-cream brand Freggo and Dove. It is credit to the agency that it teases such strong creative work out of what could be considered rather "heavy-duty" clients, with perhaps the best example being the "by you" Bupa work, which showed how health can mean different things to different people.
The agency also created a clever TV spot targeting British Gas' energy customers, which promoted the company's new Home Security product by putting a cheeky twist on the Goldilocks fairytale.
It was no surprise that OgilvyOne's work was recognised at awards shows during 2011. The agency was the most-awarded DM shop in the UK, winning at the Cannes International Festival of Creativity (a rarity for UK DM companies recently) and taking two Campaign Big Awards and an impressive 11 Direct Marketing Association Awards, including five golds – three more than any other agency.
The creative department also expanded in 2011 – as did the agency as a whole by around 17 per cent – with key hires including Kohlben Vodden, previously a senior strategic account director at Wunderman, who joined in October as the head of social media and content.
OgilvyOne has always been a fearsome presence on a pitchlist, and in 2011 it has enjoyed another fruitful new-business year. In February, the agency won the Drinkaware advertising business, beating a host of above-the-line and below-the-line agencies including VCCP and M&C Saatchi.
New business also came in from ASOS Sony and Freggo, which appointed OgilvyOne to handle its UK launch.
Just as significantly, OgilvyOne also substantially extended its relationship with existing clients. In September, it snatched the British Gas business-to-business DM account in a pitch against Inferno, while British Airways also appointed OgilvyOne to handle a range of new digital projects, and extended its DM contract with the agency after an internal review.
OgilvyOne's success means that it has now been named Direct Agency of the Year three times in the past five years. That statistic is testament to a stable management team, strong long-term relationships with blue-chip clients and an agency culture that places its emphasis on creativity. The chief executive, Annette King, has been at the agency for 11 years, while de la Fosse and Wilson have been there for 13, and its vice-chairman, Rory Sutherland, for longer than most can remember. And as other DM agencies have fallen by the wayside, often as a result of them failing to truly define their proposition or because they try too hard to be something they're not, OgilvyOne has played to its strengths, worked hard to produce strong creative campaigns across its client base, and has become an excellent ambassador for the UK's DM industry.
The agency missed out on this year's award by a whisker. This year has been a brilliant one for Lida, part of the M&C Saatchi Group, and was topped off with the O2 win, which followed a hotly fought pitch that went down to the wire with the incumbent, Archibald Ingall Stretton, and EHS 4D.
The win, the largest in DM during 2011, was just one of many for the agency this year. Others included TUI, bmi, Air New Zealand, Google, Vertu, Transport for London and Kasperky, while organic growth came from existing clients such as Mini, Ikea and Boots.
This new-business record helped Lida, led by the impressive chief executive, Mel Cruickshank, to achieve revenue growth of 31 per cent and a profit increase of 25 per cent. No mean feat in a difficult market.
Lida's success can partly be attributed to its "70/20/10" approach, based on the US business guru Vijay Govindarajan's vision of "managing the present, selectively abandoning the past and creating the future". The agency is dedicated to investing 70 per cent of its effort on today, 20 per cent on testing ideas for tomorrow and 10 per cent on innovating for the distant future.
Creative standards at Lida also seem to be improving. The agency's creative director, Nicky Bullard, who was promoted to the role alongside Tim Styles in September 2010, is now in sole charge after Styles' move to Dubai in October. Bullard has overseen a department that has more than doubled in size and new hires have included Mike Poole and Al Mackie, who joined the agency as its head of copy and its head of art respectively from Partners Andrews Aldridge in August.
The hallmark of Lida's creative work during 2011 was an ability to combine high levels of creativity and effectiveness on a shoestring budget. A campaign for the Greater London Authority to save London's bee population showcased this brilliantly. Inspired by the "dead fly art" of Magnus Muhr, the campaign portrayed bees as little Londoners helping with real-life situations. The animations were viewed more than 60,000 times on YouTube while more than 7,500 visited the website.
It was a very fine year for Lida; if it can continue pushing its creative boundaries in 2012, it should be an even stronger contender.
Also earning high praise during the judging was Proximity. The agency's 20th anniversary turned out to be just one of many highlights for the Omnicom-owned shop.
After its massive Lloyds TSB DM account win at the end of December 2010, Proximity's growth continued through existing clients such as Kraft and Orange, while strong creative work was evident across Volkswagen, Procter & Gamble and Royal Mail.
One of Proximity's strengths is a solid management team, driven by its chief executive, Mike Dodds. Recent promotions have also strengthened the agency's proposition. These included the elevation of Lou Barber from managing director to chairman, with the deputy managing director, Chris Slough, replacing Barber as the managing director. Caitlin Ryan, the executive creative director, also deserves praise for running one of the better DM creative departments. With Lloyds now fully embedded in the agency, we can expect to see further growth at the shop and some interesting creative work in 2012.
Recent winners: OgilvyOne (2010); Partners Andrews Aldridge (2009); Elvis (2008); OgilvyOne (2007); Rapier (2006)
OgilvyOne's 2011
February Drinkaware, the alcohol-awareness charity funded by the drinks industry, appoints the agency to its integrated advertising account, after a high-profile pitch against agencies such including VCCP and M&C Saatchi.
April Wins a digital project from British Airways and extends its direct marketing contract with the airline.
June Becomes one of very few UK DM agencies to win at Cannes, picking up bronze for its "Lotus T5" work for IBM.
September Rolls out a high-profile, multichannel campaign for Bupa showing people doing unexpected things. Expands its relationship with British Gas by pitching for and winning its business-to-business DM account.
December Picks up 11 DMA Awards, including five golds – three more than its nearest rivals.

- " For my first hostel experience I was very impressed, I would stay here or at a similar hostel again. The facilities were about what I expected, but the lengths that the hostel goes to to maintain a community feel (dinners, evening entertainment, breakfast) are really what sets it apart. Sometimes I got the feeling that the staff were a little clueless, but well-intentioned certainly. Overall I liked more than I disliked and would stay again. "

- " Great location to Casa Batllo and Casa Mila. Less than a block away from the metro stop on the main line. The 6 private room was super spacious and very clean. The 6 dorm was clean, but a little cramp. Lockers didn't fit every lock. Homemade paella and sangria were delcious. Breakfast has a good variety and the homemade bread is really good. The terrace out back is perfect for breakfast and relaxing in the sun. There is only one 2 person elevator, so the higher levels were a bit harder with bags "
- 13 Apr 2015 Anonymous USA
- " Amazing experience to be in there. They have a very chilled out atmosphere at the breakfast like a college and they have got tables outside to enjoy a coffee while smoking. The room was beautiful, well maintained and the view of amazing - the diagonal. Anytime you come to the balcony, it will uplift your mood immediately. A must go, will visit this place again and I highly recommend this. "

- " I had an amazing time at Casa Gracia!! It's nicely located near high-end shops and public transportation, so you can get around. A number of tourist attractions are within walking distance as well. The entire staff was friendly and warm, and they even allowed me to have breakfast the day I checked in (the breakfast is amazing! The best I've ever had at any hostel by far!) Great facilities and cleanliness. Loved that they held dinners and music each night. Can't recommend this place enough!!!! "
- 14 Dec 2014 Anonymous USA
- " I really liked the hostel, everyone was super friendly and nice, but they should work on spreading plugs throughout the room. Also, it could be loud early in the morning, but other then that, I would definitely stay at the hostel again! "
- 14 Nov 2014 Vanessa USA
- " Too much noise from other people staying at the hostel. Other currencies are accepted by the credit card machine but later rejected by the hostel. "

Making Smart Meters the Must-Have Gadget of the Year
The Smart Grid Consumer Collaborative's (SGCC) launch at DistribuTECH this week marked a significant milestone in the industry's battle to win over consumers, many of whom are none too happy with their smart meters.
The group's priorities, in particular, suggest some real desire to do better: consumer research, outreach and the deployment of smart grid tech in a way that involves consumers. According to Jesse Berst, the acting executive director and managing director of GlobalSmartEnergy, SGCC is hitting the ground running with a study due out in April and a "public service" marketing campaign to follow thereafter.
The plan is certainly earnest in its efforts, but to be completely honest, it's also a bit boring.
According to a recent Harris Interactive poll, 68 percent of Americans haven't even heard of the smart grid. The only way the SGCC and its members will spark genuine enthusiasm from a disinterested populace and win over the hearts (and wallets) of consumers is to approach its mission with the same ferocity as smart meter opponents and doomsayers. It's not to say that SGCC has to go on the offensive, but it does have to imbue its outreach with the same passion as a company launching a big, market-changing product in this day and age. In short, the SGCC should take a page from Apple's playbook.
AT&T's wobbly wireless network didn't prevent millions from picking up an iPhone and participating in a market-leading apps marketplace. Why? Because despite the underlying network's foibles, Apple embarked on a campaign that revolved around a device whose capabilities and expandability (via apps) added up to an offering that impact consumers' lives. Take, for instance, the latest iPhone commercial, "Family Travel." In it, the mom turns off the lights remotely with the Schlage LINK app, helping her family shave a couple dollars off the electric bill as they embark on a vacation. It's a compelling, if unintended, glimpse of the cool things the smart grid has in store for consumers. Who wouldn't want that?
Of course, the smart grid is much more complex than a gadget, but the reasoning still holds. Without a sense of how the smart grid and an ecosystem of devices, apps and services help consumers save money on electricity, the whole concept remains an abstraction. The challenge therefore is not merely to prepare consumers for the smart grid's arrival, but to make the wait unbearable.
It's possible if SGCC starts thinking in terms of appealing to the public not just educating them. Make them want what they can't have (yet). It's time to build anticipation among the general population for innovative devices like Tendril's Vision, instead of only letting gadget blog readers and CES attendees in on the secret. It wouldn't hurt to start emphasizing the smart grid's "premium" attributes — like Verizon's FiOS does for broadband or Sprint's 4G network does for wireless — making the concept relatable and giving it a dimension beyond an obscure, behind-the-scenes effort to upgrade the electrical grid.
Fortunately, SGCC comes out of the gate with a founding-members roster that reads like a mini "who's who" of smart grid players; heavyweights like GE and IBM are joined by startups like Silver Spring Networks and Ember as well as consumer-facing veterans like Best Buy and Control4. Not only do all of these organizations have a huge stake in improving the visibility — and the reputation — of the industry, many of them — particularly Best Buy, Control4 and GE's appliances division — have significant expertise in marketing to consumers. Hopefully, they put that expertise to work.

Enthusiastic Treasure Coast crowd turns out for Martin County firefighter fundraiser in Fort Pierce
FORT PIERCE — An enthusiastic crowd of Treasure Coast residents willing to give of their time, money and blood, came to Big Apple Pizza in Fort Pierce on Wednesday to support a Martin County firefighter injured in the line of duty last December. Jahwann McIntyre, 22, a Martin County firefighter from Port St. Lucie was severely burned in a house fire at 1151 S.W. Blue Water Way in western Martin County on Dec. 27 and is recovering at Jackson Memorial Hospital burn unit in Miami. To help with McIntyre's medical expenses Scott Van Duzer, founder of the Van Duzer Foundation, hosted a fundraising event at his Big Apple Pizza & Pasta restaurant.
"Jahwann used to volunteer here when he went to the fire academy (at Indian River State College) so it's a little special tonight. He gave his time to help other families, and we're kind of honored to give back to him now," Van Duzer said. Two buses from the Florida's Blood Centers were on hand for blood donations along with the fundraising. All proceeds from a raffle, silent auction items, cupcake sales and all sales plus salaries and tips from Big Apple Pizza are being donated to Jahwann McIntyre, Van Duzer said.
Anne McIntyre of Port St. Lucie, mother of Jahwann McIntyre, was on hand to meet and thank the firefighters, Big Apple Pizza staff and area residents for their support. "It's amazing, It's really amazing for Scott and the Van Duzer Foundation to sponsor a fundraiser for Jahwann, It's really awesome." Anne McIntyre said. "We appreciate it very much, and so does Jahwann."
Donations for Jahwann McIntyre can be sent to: Martin County Firefighters, P.O. Box 469, Palm City, FL, 34991. Please write Jahwann McIntyre in the memo line of the check. "The need is there, someone's got to do it, and we're glad the community supports us time after time," Scott VanDuzer said.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - In human services, they're "silos:" discrete agencies or programs that focus on a single issue troubling a family.
"Once that issue is addressed and they're discharged, we may not see them unless it's a crisis," said Four Oaks spokeswoman Lisa Pritchard. "The way the contracts are set up with the state, the child has issues, we treat the kid, and we're finished."
Until the next crisis a rent increase, car trouble, medical emergency, school trouble. The file is reopened; counselors or social workers scramble to renew connections with the family.
But what if the connection was kept until the child is grown? That's the idea behind TotalChild, the program launched last year by Cedar Rapids-based non-profit Four Oaks.
"We can pick up where we left off, rather than starting over," said Theresa Jones, one of TotalChild's eight success managers.
"It's just really trying to understand how our kids are becoming successful adults," said Amy Grunewaldt, TotalChild director. "We know we can provide a service for them, but then there's other things in their lives. There is no other program out there that follows a kid until he's 18."
Since July 1, 2011, 342 families have enrolled in TotalChild through referrals from schools, juvenile courts, the Department of Human Services and self-referrals. The voluntary program's goal is 600 families.
Kelly Jennings, single mother of two daughters, is one of the self-referrals.
Jennings, 34, was attracted by TotalChild's housing program after meeting Four Oaks CEO and President Jim Ernst at a neighborhood block party this summer.
Jennings, who works nights as a certified nursing assistant at a Cedar Rapids nursing home, sees TotalChild's Wellington Heights Initiative as her best opportunity to own her home.
"I make just enough to pay my bills, basically," she said. "It's not really the only way of achieving that, but probably the most realistic way."
When her current lease is up next spring, Jennings and daughters Kaeniece Lanier, 12, and Lola Jennings, 5, will move to one of the Affordable Housing Network's rehabbed Wellington Heights homes. She'll improve her household budget skills through Horizons' credit counseling program while $100 of her monthly rent goes toward a down payment to buy her new home.
"By the time my credit's fixed, I'll be able to take over the property," Jennings said.
For other needs, Four Oaks' success managers connect TotalChild families to counseling and other services needed to become stable and self-sufficient. The services may come from Four Oaks itself or from 64 partner agencies.
An initial interview assesses a family's status, needs, and goals. Families and Four Oaks cooperate on a plan for meeting goals in four basic areas: child, family, education, community.
"If you address all of those, then you can help a family become successful," said Grunewaldt.
Managers call TotalChild families up to four times a week to monitor progress and keep up with potential problems before they become major setbacks.
Jennings' family isn't likely to require much attention. She said daughter Kaeniece, a seventh-grader at Wilson Middle School, gets straight As. Lola, 5, is a kindergartner at Grant Wood Elementary.
"I just love Grant Wood," Jennings said as she and the girls played a game in their living room on an evening off from work. "It's just awesome."
Both girls attend the after-school Achievement Academy at Jane Boyd Community House, where Kaeniece can finish her day's homework before Jennings collects the girls shortly after beginning her day.
"I try to get them involved inasmuch as they're able to be," she said.
TotalChild is "kind of like a circle, or an umbrella," Jennings said. "It's nice to have a support system. I don't have a lot of family who can help me that way. I know it's there."

Hukkster cofounders Erica Bell and Katie Finnegan met while working in merchandising for J. Crew, and later worked as retail consultants before starting their own company. Hukkster
It was one thing to get investment from the Winklevoss twins via Winklevoss Capital, but the Hollywood party thrown for them at the home of the duo was unexpected surprise for Hukkster's cofounders.
Katie Finnegan and Erica Bell, the former J.Crew buyers behind the shopping bookmarklet site, which launched in mid-October, were the star attraction at a party held Thursday night at the twins' Hollywood Hills home to spotlight their company.
The twins, who famously claimed Mark Zuckerberg ripped off their idea for Facebook and who have since settled their lawsuit for $65 million, told Women's Wear Daily that they invested in Hukkster because they consider the company to be part of a wave of anti-social Web sites.
"Every other deal site out there, you sign up and they push things to you, and one out of every hundred you act on," Tyler Winklevoss told WWD. "Hukkster really empowers the shopper to pull exactly what they want."
Winklevoss Capital led the company's $1 million seed round (they closed $750,000 in November, adding to the $250,000 they had received in May) Bell tells us. Thus far, the Hukkster team is thrilled with the holiday season response. The week of Black Friday the site sent about three times its average number of alerts, and the number of users has risen to 40,000, two and a half months in.
"Many of our members looked to Hukkster to manage their holiday wish lists," Bell said. "With Hukkster they're able to build custom lists and share those lists with friends and family so that their loves ones can 'hukk' away and enjoy the gift of savings this holiday season too."
In addition to tracking apparel and accessories, they've noticed a trend among Hukkster users tracking more home décor, toys, home appliances and electronics.
The company is planning to launch iPad and iPhone apps in the coming months, Bell said.
Meanwhile, the Winkelvoss twins aren't entirely anti-social. They pumped $1 million in October into SunZero, an online network for professional investors that was founded by Harvard alum Divya Narendra.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

I've got about half the miles you require... Originally I was "saving" my mileage for dirt adventures as I think most people did when they first bought the KTM Adventure. But a funny thing happened on the way to the grocery store, the liquor store, the drug store... and everywhere else in between. I was always wanting to ride the KTM.
So I eventually gave in to the bike's pavement prowess and now even ride it into the office whenever the weather is good.
And I do some pretty fun long distance adventure rides with it regularly just to legitimize my ownership of it.
And I've done a decades worth of studying about the bike through manufacture forums/ plenty of tech discussions with 950 rallye mechanics, KTM product techs, all the aftermarket manufacturers... even chats with Pyn. All this to come up with my own little insight to this enchanting magic carpet ride on 2 wheels.
I think the bike runs fairly dependable in 25K mile cycles. During that time the typical basic "faire" (weak parts) generally requires replacements or upgrades... as listed in the HOW ( The "faire" has pretty much been listed so I'll spare you the details). And most of that "faire" is good for another 25K cycle of use. And of course this doesn't account for regular maintenance which is on it's own schedule.
I think you could get your 100K out of the bike and thoroughly enjoy it. But I would also think you'd want to have a nice set of spares of the usual "faire" as carryon during your travels. Or I'd also be aware of KTM parts accessibility along your routes when coinsidering using the 25K replacement cycles.
I don't think the 990 Adventure was originally intended to ride as maintenance free as a "Goldwing", but it has come a long ways since it's first release. But all of it's nuances are fairly common knowledge and the envelope of the bike certainly has a higher ceiling then most of us realize.
You would be one of the trail blazers if you can roll 100k miles on the odometer in a short time, say a year or two. And I'll be one to watch and follow what your experiences gather.
I'd say it's probably the perfect bike in between a KLR 650 and a GS12. Certainly more manueverable then the GS, but not as comfortable on the straight and narrow. Heavier at a standstill to the KLR 650 but smoother at speed and over the bumps.
You can always put 60K miles on your 990 and then buy a demo 1190 Adv after they've been out for a while... if you feel the need for a smoother ride at high speed cruise.
But I think you're in for a great time... we should all be so lucky... and envious.
I say prove us all fools.
I'm asking questions, but I already have the moto and I ain't selling it!
We will see!

Ecobank Ghana has been named one of Ghana's top-most 16 corporate brands at a ceremony organised in Accra recently. Twenty-four (24) product brands were also named on the night, bringing the total awards to 40 superbrands.
The awards were conferred on these 40 brands by the globally known Superbrands, the world's largest independent arbiter of branding, which identifies and pays tribute to exceptional brands by recognising, rewarding and reinforcing leading brands from all over the world.
The organisation runs the Superbrands Awards Schemes and Promotional Programmes in various countries, each with a brand focused publication at its core.
The Superbrands Council, which consists of eminent personalities in the world of branding, settled on these top brands based on five criteria: customer loyalty, goodwill, market dominance, and longevity and market acceptance.
Apart from excelling in each of the above criteria, the selection of Ecobank Ghana, as a superbrand, was also based on the fact that Ecobank has grown to command very high financial-based and customer-based brand equity in the Ghanaian market and also stands very tall among its peers.
Ecobank Ghana presently occupies the enviable position of being the number one bank in Ghana in terms of size and by every other acceptable measure.
This achievement is unparalleled in the banking history of Ghana as Ecobank has been operating for just about 22 years in the country, compared with its multinational peers in the top-tier segment of Ghanaian banks, the first of which was established as far back as 1896 and the second 1917.
Considering its Pan-African nature, its favourable brand alignment among stakeholders, its vision, values and culture, its sterling financial performance and its dominant posture in the Ghanaian market, Ecobank Ghana has become the employer of choice, a corporate entity which consistently gives back to society by way of discharging its CSR and its shares (stocks) are vigorously sought after within the investor community.
With all these, Ecobank Ghana is definitely a superbrand and deserves to be counted among the very top brands in Ghana and beyond.
Mr. Eric Affaidu, Chief Executive Officer of Super Brands Ghana said: "There are many companies that have still not recognized the importance of branding in the country. Of those who have, many are yet to apply the discipline. And of those who have attempted to do so, few have done it with a combination of strategic and creative flair".
Mr. George Mensah-Asante, Executive Director for Domestic Banking and Mr. Daniel Kasser Tee, the Head of Communications and Public Relations of Ecobank received the awards on behalf of the bank

Huffington Post:
by: Mark S. King
Blogger, MyFabulousDisease.com; author, 'A Place Like This'
WARNING: This piece contains graphic sexual language. Reader discretion is advised.
The annual Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco is noted for its unbridled embrace of every star in our sexual constellation. Even the fearless leather community, which founded the event, can sometimes appear tame amidst the outlandish kinks and clothing — and lack thereof — on display along the city's tilted streets.
In the fall of 2003, in the middle of this rowdy bacchanalia, Paul Morris stood at the booth for Treasure Island Media (TIM), the gay porn outfit he founded that featured unprotected sex (barebacking) between its actors. This particular specialty was the singular driving force behind his smashingly successful and relatively new company.
Then, like the legend of Lana Turner fortuitously cozying up to the counter at Schwab's, a beautiful and achingly masculine young man approached the TIM booth. He liked the TIM videos — he liked them very much indeed — and he hoped to one day document a few fantasies of his own. TIM star Jesse O'Toole was on hand, and someone snapped a photograph of the two of them together (right). In it, the grinning young man with a leather cap appears to have found his long-lost tribe, and O'Toole looks as if he has found a seven-course meal.
The photo was sent to Max Sohl, a sometime porn actor with a theater background whom Morris had commissioned to conceive and direct what would be Sohl's first porn film. Sohl met with the aspiring model and asked him to complete a form that included a simple question: "What is one of your fantasy scenes?" In response, the young man wrote simply, "Me getting nailed and seeded by a gang of hot guys."
"The Black Party was coming," Sohl explained in a recent interview, referring to the annual New York City weekend of leather men, parties, and sexual adventures, "and I thought, 'OK, let's see how many men he can take.'"
And that is how Dawson's 20 Load Weekend was born.
Prior to the onset of AIDS, condom usage in gay pornography was nonexistent — but that was before bodily fluids became synonymous with death and disease. For well over a decade after the crisis began, gay porn videos not only featured tightly wrapped penises, but their storylines — indeed, the actors themselves — suffered from a sort of dramatic malaise, as if sleepwalking through their sexual routine while trying to pay no attention to the man with KS lesions behind the curtain. The videos mirrored our own lack of interest in gallivanting about with the pizza man or diving into an orgy with strangers, with or without condoms. Many viewers simply returned to their stash of pre-AIDS pornography, which was condom-less but "justified."
As AIDS deaths subsided with the advent of new medications in 1996, gay male culture responded with a vengeance. Circuit parties were born of celebration (before succumbing to their own excesses), safer sex behaviors relaxed, and there was a palpable longing to escape the horrors of the previous years. Reclaiming a bold sexuality, something many gay men believed had been lost forever, was a tonic for the post-traumatic stress they suffered. Younger gay men, who had listened to stories of an earlier, sexually liberated time as if it were a lost era of paleontology, were more than willing to explore whatever modern version might await them.
Unprotected sex since the arrival of HIV is nothing new (it is, after all, the primary reason for new infections that have continued fairly steadily since AIDS began), but in the late 1990s the gay community proved again how comically adept it is at applying a little branding to any phenomenon, and "barebacking" entered the public lexicon. The irony may be that a new word was developed for the oldest sexual activity imaginable: having sex without a barrier. It wasn't the sex that had changed but the meaning and judgment associated with it toward, most specifically, gay men. Or, as AIDS advocate Jim Pickett said at a recent conference for people living with HIV, "When a friend announces they are expecting a child, I feel like screaming, 'You barebacked!'"
But while intelligent minds and passionate advocates argued about the reasons and the proper response to barebacking, no one had dared document it on videotape for the erotic pleasure of others. Yet.
In 1998 two renegade companies formed to make bareback videos exclusively: Hot Desert Knights and Treasure Island Media. None of the leading gay pornographers would consider producing them (although they were eager to market their highly profitable backlists of videos produced "pre-AIDS" that featured bareback sex). The cheaply made videos by the upstart porn producers brought the sexual choices of an increasing number of men out of the closet and onto DVD players and computer screens.
The videos were uniform in their low production values, the older ages of the actors, and the fact that several of them appeared to have the physical manifestations of HIV. It was as if a group of men who had literally lived through AIDS said, "Oh, what the hell," and demonstrated the kind of sex they had been having amongst themselves for some time. Their exploits were perceived as an underground fetish that would never break the surface of more mainstream gay pornography.
But then Max Sohl met that ferociously attractive man at the Folsom Street Fair who was so eager to "get seeded" by a string of strangers, and with the sexual zeitgeist now primed for their arrival, they made a film that would forever change the porn industry and quite arguably influence the sexual behavior of countless gay men.
Re-christened "Dawson," the budding porn star was served up in a hotel room, over the course of New York City's 2004 Black Party weekend, to an ongoing parade of bareback tops. Their sex was filmed in a documentary fashion, without music, scripted dialogue, or any effort to hide the many cables and cameras crowding the room. Dawson's fantasy had been fulfilled, and Sohl had the footage to prove it.
In June 2004 Dawson's 20 Load Weekend was released and was precisely as advertised.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Sharon Wilson and Jim Dailey burst through a door onto the stage at the Red Clay Theatre, each with a pointed, silver foil in hand.
The duo, who play husband and wife in this production of "Moon Over Buffalo," engage in a mock fencing battle, foils clinking as they connect.
Wilson's character, Charlotte Hay, fights dirty, stomping on her husband George's foot.
It's a fight scene carefully choreographed -- "It's fast, I feel like a Jedi," Dailey laughed -- but the foils are genuine metal and can hurt.
"They are definitely real. I've gotten a foil upside the hip a couple of times," Wilson laughed.
"Well if you would block when you're supposed to ..." Daily interrupted. "I'm just saying."
The two share a hearty laugh. It seems the on stage banter between traveling actors George and Charlotte in "Moon Over Buffalo" carries off stage for the Gwinnett residents playing these parts, a reflection of the comedic chemistry the two share on stage.
A necessary chemistry as these are the leads chosen to helm the debut production for the newly created Red Clay Theatre Company, a professional company based in Duluth led by co-artistic directors Jeffrey Scott Bailey and Eric Michael Bragg and production director Stephanie Darlene Wallace.
The production of "Moon Over Buffalo" -- a comedy written by Ken Ludwig set in 1950s New York -- is done in partnership with the metro Atlanta community theater group Old Alabama Road Company. The play follows George and Charlotte as they try to regain the spotlight despite mishap after mishap.
Sara Holton, an Atlanta resident who plays Eileen, an actress in the Hays' theater company who has had a one night stand with George, encourages audiences to bring tissues, but not for the reason one might anticipate.
"You're gonna laugh til you cry," she said.

Solid Objects – Idenburg Liu (SO-IL)
Architects' concerns don't rest at form, there are formulas involved, and engineering and maths! As a result, some firms can seem too heavily involved in the hypothetical world of architectural academia, but Brooklyn's SO-IL – who last week revealed plans for a winding pavilion at the inaugural New York Frieze Art Fair – combine heavy intellectual rigour with artistic flair to produce a broad array of good-looking projects, from temporary classrooms for the Whitney Museum to a series of art prints for the Guggenheim. Proof that architecture can be fun and clever all at the same time.

Sunsets are as unique as snowflakes – you'll never watch the same one twice. A vibrant sunset between the towers of New York City or a soft sunset over the banks of Paris is are all well and good, but nothing beats the restrained glory of a red London sunset. Fortunately, London also has some of the best places in the European Union from which to see the sunset. From the towering Shard to the Victorian glamour of Primrose Hill, you simply can't beat these top 5 spots to watch the sunset in London.
1. Primrose Hill at Regent's Park
There's a reason this area is home to some of the most exclusive and expensive residences in London. From the top of Primrose Hill you can see all of central London splayed at your feet. With the sky above you and the city below, it's no wonder that those who visit feel as if they've reached the top of Mount Olympus. Turn northward for an unrivalled view of Belsize Park and Hampstead, or explore the seven English Heritage blue plaques in the park itself commemorating famous residents. Or go for a stroll around the lovely Victorian neighborhood and pick out your future furnished rental apartment. Read the entire story here…»

Ophiuchus 0.3.2.1November 28th, 2005 by Marv
Ophiuchus, a game based on Master of Orion, has been updated to release 0.3.2.1. Changes:
- When multiple players arrive at the same uncolonised system at the same time, none of them can colonise the planet. Previously, the player with the lowest ID got the planet, leading to an advantage to players with lower IDs. This was a problem especially in single player, where it gave a great advantage to the player over the computer.
- Attack commands now always give feedback.

VIDEO: Megan Fox in 'Jennifer's Body' trailer
Forget saving the world from bad robots: Megan Fox is about to get deliciously evil for "Jennifer's Body."
The movie stars Fox as the title character, whose body is possessed by a demon post-accidental death. That lets her take revenge on her various tormentors, though of course demon-Jennifer then just starts killing for the fun of it.
See the worst pictures of Megan Fox we could find.
Why, yes, Diablo Cody did write the screenplay.
Warning: The video has cursin', killin' and brief nudity. Pretty much everything you'd ask from a movie by Diablo Cody starring Megan Fox.

YOU are quite right to say that blame for Lockerbie ''should be laid at the door of those who deserve it instead of merely playing out a pointless legal charade'' (December 26).
Loading article content
Philip Mulvey, 19 Athole Gardens, Glasgow. December 26.
I WRITE to express admiration for your recent articles and leaders on Lockerbie (December 22 and 26). These are reasoned articles based on logic and on observation of the astonishing way in which the UK Families-Flight 103 group have been treated by our own Government. They are enormously encouraging to us. You are Scotland's foremost broadsheet, and owe us no more than you owe to all your readers, namely to seek out the truth, publish it, and comment honestly upon it. That process has produced corroboration of the key points which we have had to reinforce time and again. They can be summed up in our claim that we deserve to know the truth and to see justice brought upon the heads of whomever can be identified as having done this to our children. You hint that there may be reasons of State of such consequence that the nuisance value of terrorism has to be tolerated. If that is the case it would have been far better for our rulers to tell us so, or at least hint at it; instead they have been forced to lie in an effort to present a credible alternative scenario. As to the question of a trial of the two Libyans, the two named men cannot possibly be more than foot-soldiers. Even the evidence against them sometimes seems on the verge of collapse, yet still no-one in authority gives the least hint of a genuine will to seek out the originators who planned, ordered, and paid for the atrocity. Perhaps our expenditure of effort on the goal of a trial is seen as a welcome distraction of our energies by those who dare not allow a trial and the risk of a not guilty verdict. Sir Nicholas Bonsor when Minister at the Foreign Office once gave us as a reason against trial in a neutral country, the fear of acquittal - and he had not even been arguing that a court as proposed by Professor Black would be unfair. As for the scandalous censorship of the Maltese Double Cross film, much of the material in that film remains credible. Like many another investigation it pointed the finger at Iran and Syria. Legal action was threatened against Tam Dalyell, MP, to try (unsuccessfully) to stop him showing it in the Palace of Westminster. The Angle Gallery in Birmingham (which first showed it publicly) was first burgled and later fire-bombed. At the last minute the film was banned from the (part publicly funded) London Film Festival - a previously unheard-of turnaround. Most cynical of all were the actions of the Lord Advocate's office. In a joint exercise with the US Embassy in London it issued a statement alleging, among other things, that Juval Aviv, an American investigator with Israeli connections, who had worked on the film, was untrustworthy because he was awaiting trial for fraud. His case came to court later, he was acquitted, and it was concluded that the fraud case had been brought against him maliciously by the FBI, because of his involvement in the Lockerbie case. The motives required to make the office of Scotland's senior law officer act in this way, knowing all the weapons he has available against anyone else rash enough to show signs of contempt of court, must have been powerful indeed. That action deserves investigation. During his time as Foreign Secretary, Douglas Hurd assured the House, knowing that we were in the gallery, that there was no evidence as to the involvement of any country other than Libya. He is a highly intelligent and honourable man, and I still doubt if he knew that he was wrongly informed at that time, for much of the structures grafted on to the honest work of the Dumfries and Galloway Police has emanated from America. Possibly the biggest chink of all in the official line came from Mrs Thatcher. Her Government told us repeatedly that the Libyans were responsible. Intelligence services, responsible to her as Prime Minister, received multiple, timely, and accurate warnings (some from the Israelis) before Lockerbie. The Department of Trade produced unbelievably incompetent responses to such of those warnings as they did admit receiving. Not one of the warnings was spontaneously revealed; we had to ferret out each one. Yet at the only inquiry (the fatal accident inquiry) which she allowed us (and that was mandatory under Scots law anyway), I was allowed neither to question security at Heathrow Airport, nor to examine her Government's provision for aviation security, nor to raise any questions concerning security. It was she who forbade Lord (then plain Cecil) Parkinson to launch an inquiry into the security failures. During the FAI she escaped from my citation of her to appear as a witness by producing a Speaker's waiver. It is wrong that the person responsible for important services to the public should also have the power to block any meaningful inquiry when those services are alleged to have failed in their duty. There is much else to say about her role. We have seen those who persuade through the use of semtex and armalites welcomed to No10, yet no UK Prime Minister has yet met us, despite repeated requests; only now has Mr Blair said that he will meet us in due course. In The Downing Street Years as Baroness Thatcher she wrote of how President Reagan had claimed that the bombing of Libya (in 1986) had ''brought closer a safer and more secure world for decent men and women'' and she herself wrote of that raid: ''The much vaunted Libyan counter-attack could not and did not take place''. When I wrote to her to ask what she meant, she had, she said, ''nothing to add to the text''. This was not democracy.

Teen Mom
Jenelle Evans Thinks She Has a Rare Medical Condition!
Can someone please pass Jenelle Evans a box of tissues? Our favorite Teen Mom 2 party girl can't stop sneezing! Before you roll your eyes and tell her to pop a Claritin, you should know that Jenelle's done some research on the topic … and she may have a legitimate concern!
According to Wikipedia (the authoritative source on everything), there's a disorder called photic sneeze reflex, defined as a "condition of uncontrollable sneezing in response to numerous stimuli, such as looking at bright lights."
"I think @PBandJenelley_1 is allergic to the sun. She sneezes everytime she steps into the sun," her new/old boyfriend Gary Head tweeted on Feb. 20.
While there's no cure for photic sneeze reflex, symptoms can be tempered by blocking the sun with hats or sunglasses. For Jenelle, this solution could serve as a twofer — she could evade the paparazzi while simultaneously blocking out sneeze-inducing ultraviolet rays.
Someone get this girl a trucker hat and a pair of stunnas, stat!

Founded in June of 2010, J Station X was lovingly brought to these here interwebs by Jasmine Henry, a woman on a mission to single-handedly take over the globe using a video game blog as the vehicle to do it.
So that world domination thing hasn't quite happened yet, but on the road to conquering the planet, J Station X hopes to bring you the latest news, previews and reviews of all of the games worth spending your money on and most importantly, games that are also diverse.
For every 300 games featuring white, shaven-headed men there are just a handful featuring prominent female characters, and even fewer with those women as the playable lead. The statistics only get worse for video game characters of colour or characters that identify as LGBTQ.
With J Station X, we hope to put those games in the limelight and put them at the forefront of discussion. When other sites are squabbling over framerates and screenshot quality, we hope to add some intelligent discussion on topics such as: gender, intersectionality and the role of sexuality in games (plus much more!), all whilst continuing to bring you those HD videos and gameplay images that you (whether you're male, female, gay, straight or other identified) are used to.
But, these are the statistics* that we're dealing with…
- In 2013 alone, there were over twice as many playable male protagonist as there were female protagonists.
- Of all of the games released in 2013, under a third featured playable characters of colour.
- Only one playable LGBT character was featured in games in 2013.
…and we wouldn't want to leave the great (but diversity lacking) games that we know and love behind! That's why J Station X will do its best to bring the two together.
We also know that not every reader will visit J Station X for progressive discussions and we know that you may just be here simply because you like games. We appreciate that and want to make this a space for both discussion and video game appreciation! So whoever you are, from whatever walk of life, we hope you'll join us on this ride.
J Station X is for diverse games, great games and games that make us proud to say we covered them.
If you have any questions, comments or thoughts about the site, please get in touch by going to our contact page.

I've been reading sorts of informational materials about real estate investments, and i even took up educational courses for real estate investment.., but still there's this doubt and question in my mind which i really need to ask to be able to find answers to it, wish you can help me...so my question is, what are the most important things or principles that one should always keep in my mind when taking or dealing about real estate investments..? hope you can help me..THANK YOU..!
In my opinion invest money in real estate is the great option. It can also rise in value overtime and prove a good investment in the cash value of the investment property that you buy. That is why you need to be sure that you are ready to begin investing in real estate.

MH: You've talked about being scared of a lot of things. Heights, the dark, bugs, the ocean.
DP: Yeah, I'm scared of all those things. It doesn't feel like a lot to me, but when you say them out loud, all together like that, it sounds kinda ridiculous.
MH: You're probably tired of talking about this by now, but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (Find out exactly what Patrick looks for in a man.)
DP: Well sure. (Laughs.)
MH: He's a NASCAR driver, you're a NASCAR driver. You're essentially dating a co-worker. Everybody says that dating co-workers is a bad idea. (It is, unless you follow these tips for a successful—and hot—office fling.) Why did it seem like a good idea to you?
DP: Well, I don't think I thought it was a good idea. There was nothing I could do about it. You can't tell your heart who to like and not like. It just happened.
MH: But what if things don't work out? What if the relationship ends? You can't not see him.
DP: I suppose that's true.
MH: You're out there trying to focus on a race, in a year that could be the biggest of your career, and you're like, "Oh look, there's my ex-boyfriend. Jerk!"
DP: (Laughs.) Yeah, okay, I know I'm setting myself up for that. But I choose not think about that possibility right now. I'm going to be positive.
MH: Do you think about the competition in human terms? Do you look out your windshield and see a track filled with friends and enemies and strangers and your boyfriend? Or is it just a bunch of cars with faceless drivers?
DP: I look at them as cars, for sure. But I also look at them as competitors, as people. You're aware of who's respectful and who's not. People who are respectful to you and give you some space, you give them the same thing in return. I have that relationship obviously with my teammates, with people in racing that I've developed good friendships with over time and have a good camaraderie with. Ricky and I have always had that situation where we give each other room. We respect each other on the track. I don't see any reason for that to change.
MH: You give each other room?
DP: On the track. It can get tight out there.
MH: Oh, okay. I was thinking, you know . . . it begs the obvious relationship comparisons. "I just need some space!"
DP: (Laughs.) No, that's not what I meant at all!
MH: You mean space as in space between cars.
DP: That's exactly what I meant.
MH: What if, just hypothetically, you're both in a race and he gets into an bad wreck? Can you keep driving? Can you stay focused? Or would your instinct be to stop and make sure he's okay?
DP: I'm sure somebody would let me know that he'd walked away and was fine. I think I'd be able to focus on the race.
MH: You are a stronger person than I am.
DP: Really?
MH: If I saw a car on fire and knew my wife was inside, I would lose my shit.
DP: But this is different. We both understand that this is a dangerous sport. We know that things will happen, and we have faith in the safety of the cars and the tracks and the medical staff. If something did happen to him, there's nothing I could do to help. I'd just have to remember that everything that needed to be done to make him safe was being done.
MH: On a race day, does it cross your mind, hey, there's a very real possibility my number will be up today?
DP: I think that we all understand that it's generally possible. Anything is possible out there.
MH: Which is a lot of job stress, don't you think? Most people go to work and never think, "I might die today."
DP: Well sure. But we have a lot of trust in the Series. They've built safe cars for us and we're living in an era of safer barriers. When you hit those, it's a lot better than hitting the old concrete walls that weren't structurally designed to absorb energy. We also have a great medical staff and helicopters waiting for us if we need to be taken to a hospital. We have all the precautions you could possibly need.
MH: Which is kinda like adding more lifeboats to the Titanic.
DP: I guess so.
MH: You're still sailing pretty fast towards that iceberg.
DP: And that's what it's all about. That's what this job is. We're driving as fast as we possibly can right next to other people who are driving as fast as they possibly can. We all know we're playing with fire.
MH: You've said that Ricky thinks you "drive crazy" when you're out on public roads.
DP: "Drive crazy?" I don't think he said that.
MH: Well, here's the exact quote, which you apparently said at a NASCAR press conference. "I was driving down the road, and Ricky's in the car with me. He was like, 'You drive crazy.' I'm like, 'I do, don't I?'"
DP: Oh yeah. (Laughs.)
MH: And then he said something about how you should drive as aggressively on the track as you do in traffic?
DP: I think he agreed to that. I said it and he agreed. I do drive a little crazy on the road, and I was like, "I need to drive more like this on the track. Sometimes I feel like I'm a little too careful or something." And he was like, "Yeah, that's a good idea. I know you've got it in you. I can see it."
MH: Maybe there's not as much at stake when you're just driving out in public?
DP: I could still crash. I could still hit somebody.
MH: And there aren't helicopters waiting nearby.
DP: Exactly, right. If anything, it's more dangerous out there.
MH: But you can't win when you're just driving down an interstate. There are no awards for coming in first place.
DP: Well sure. But sometimes I drive like there's something at stake. Or maybe I just think everybody else drives too slow. You know what I mean? I feel like there's no urgency. I have urgency.

Film: Bizarre One Direction gay rumours' row made into funny film (NSFW)
The peerless Adam Buxton has long proved that there's comedy gold to be mined from the strange and sometimes terrifying world of YouTube comments. Kudos though to the Dead Parrot comedy collective who've taken this idea and run with it in the shape of the tremendous short film YouTube Comment Reconstruction #1: One Direction, That's What Makes You Beautiful.
Its source material is a row between SOPHIE DANZE and JILIANLOVESTHEBIEBS which took place last month, revolving around the sexuality of One Direction's floppy-haired heartthrob. It's nothing new to point out that these kinds of discussions are ridiculous, but the stark Pinter-esque staging and pitch perfect characterisation of the two protagonists lends this piece the production values which really help highlight the madness. And the fact that it's billed as YouTube Comment Reconstruction #1 offers the hope that there's more where this came from.

Dear LMFF team,
Hope you're having a great week. Just wanted to shoot you a quick email to give you some updates as I promised!
We just returned from our Singapore trip and I'm happy to say that the show was a huge success! We were given the honour to close the five-day event where more than 1500 people came to attend our show and we were awarded with the Men's Fashion Week 'Young Designer of the Year' award.
The surprise came at the end of the show when the chairman of the event, Frank Cintamani appeared on stage with famous aesthetician Dr Georgia Lee to announce that the doctor will be covering the cost of all the garments we made for the Singapore show including all airfares and accommodation related to trip as well as sponsoring our entire next collection for Spring/Summer 2012 which we are taking to Paris in June.
Thank you again for your never-ending support. We appreciate everything that you have done for us and I look forward to catching up with you back in Australia.
Best Regards,
We are so proud of their achievements since LMFF and can't wait to see what their next collection brings. Song for the Mute will also be doing something exciting during RAFW in May so keep your eyes peeled to the LMFF blog for the latest news on that!

BEMBAS proved their superiority over the Ngonis again on New Year's day when they thrashed their traditional opponents to win the annual Tribal Cousins golf championship for the record 13th time at Ndola Golf Club.
Led by their top seed, Matipa Shichitamba, Bembas blazed to the winners' podium after carding a runaway 561, leaving their sworn traditional cousins trailing on 498 points.
With the rules of the game agreed by the two 'warring' factions, the Ngonis initially appeared to be on course to grab their third title when they took an early lead but only to finish poorly on the back nine.
Both teams were told to field 20 players with five reserves and the scores from the 20 golfers from each group counted for the championship.
The Bembas top scorers were K. Chibuye on 38 points, Kwame Musonda brought 35 points, Esther Yambayamba delivered 34 and Nkrumah Musonda carded 32 points.
Former Zambia Golf Union (ZGU) president, Emmanuel Katebe, who is Bembas' seed two, shot 27 points with Shichitamba also hitting the same number of points while ZGU treasurer, Joel Chitamba and veteran, Peter Chepeshi shooting 21 and 19 points, respectively.
The Ngonis' highest scorer was lady golfer, Lonah Mwenda on 33 points, veteran Godfrey Mbawala chipping in with 30 points while Ndola Golf Club captain, Sangulukani Tembo took 29 points to the table.
Former Ngonis' chairperson, Welani Chilengwe canvassed 27 points alongside, Benard Daka while ZGU president, Charles Mwanza, the current Ngonis' leader, managed 26 points.
Professional golfer, Beza Daka led a group of no shows for the Ngonis who included Panji Phiri, Sandy Munthali and A. Tembo.
For the Bembas, former ZGU president, Percy Ng'andwe, Serge Kabaso and Mwila Mwango failed to pitch up while Gabriel Chibuye was disqualified.
In the individual stableford, K. Chibuye was overall winner on 38 points, one better than L. Chibwe while Yogesh Desai finished third on 36 points.
Kelly Munsaka, a former diplomat, beat Africa Golf Confederation vice-president, Joe Malanji on a count back to the fourth position after tying on 35 points.
Bembas' chairperson, Kangwa Mukwikile bragged that the team's plan of displaying pictures of late chief Chitimutulu paid off as their former rulers' spirits helped to crash the Ngonis.
Mukwikile said despite the Ngonis doing their homework by digging out from the archives, some veteran golfers like Dominic Ngoma from Kabwe, the Bembas were too smart for them.
"The Ngonis did their homework and went into their archives to retrieve veterans like Dominic Ngoma but we still sorted them out. The displaying of the pictures of our late chiefs also paid dividends," he said and promised to defend the title next year.
Ngoni chairperson Charles Mwanza attributed the 13th loss to the four no shows whom he said their scores could have helped in reclaiming the championship.
Mwanza said playing the Bembas was proving a difficult task as the Ngonis were made to face people from three provinces.
He said it was strange that even people from Serenje in Central Province were masquerading as Bembas during the tournament.
Mwanza said for the next tournament, qualification to play would be upon displaying of national registration cards as a way of curbing cheating.
While thanking the sponsors for coming to the aid of the event, Mwanza said the organising committee would next time do some fundraising events to lessen the financial burden.
He said they also hope to make the championship bigger by inviting two traditional rulers - Chitimukulu and Mpezeni - to grace the event in Ndola.

Home Maidstone News Article
It was a town engulfed in water - from its restaurants and car parks to many of its key shops.
Now Maidstone is fighting back to normality just weeks after nature turned its key landmarks into ponds and water features - as severe weather warnings remain in force for the county.
At its worst around 15 stores, bars and restaurants were forced to shut their doors to customers due to the damage and disruption.
The figure has now dropped to two - with Seekers lettings agent and Drakes pub still battling to get up and running.
However, there is a warning Kent could be affected by flooding again today as yet more heavy rain hits the county.
A yellow weather warning has been issued by the Met Office, which says there will be heavy downpours throughout the day and into tomorrow.
It could cause problems because the ground is already saturated and has seen the Environment Agency double the number of flood warnings in the county to six.
Shopping was earlier out of the question in Maidstone, as Fremlin Walk's car park and Lockmeadow car park were submerged in water.
Town centre manager Bill Moss has been working round the clock to ensure it is business as usual, despite the flooding.
He said: "Everybody will know that roads were closed, car parks were closed, businesses were flooded and I'd be very naïve to think it didn't have an impact on trade, because clearly it has.
"However, the general mood is let's get up there and go for it. There have been problems and we are working through the problems.
"Businesses are extremely resilient and people that have been completely flooded are now looking for new premises to move into."
He added: "The town now is open for business, there's lots of people around and it's very buoyant in the town centre at the moment."
While the majority of businesses are back to trading as normal, some are still counting the cost of the heavy rain.
In Lockmeadow, the Wonderland club was closed on New Year's Eve - a key time of year.
Meanwhile The Bridges Restaurant had to cancel a large number of bookings over Christmas and new year.
While footfall over the festive period is down compared to the previous year Mr Moss is surprised just how well businesses in the area are doing, despite the recent weather.
He said: "People have been out and people have been spending. From what we hear there's been an awful lot of money spent in the town centre over the Christmas period.
"The closed stores are just two out of 650 so the majority of businesses are still there and ready for everybody."
Mr Moss is now calling on people in the area and further afield to go shopping in the town centre and be part of Maidstone's January sales.
Meanwhile, Maidstone Market reopens today after floods cancelled five of its dates.
Stallholders will be back at the Lockmeadow complex, in Barker Road, ready for customers at 7.30am.
Businesses usually trade at the town centre site every Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday, but the area was completely flooded on Christmas Day and it has taken more than a week to clear the debris.
But not every west Kent visitor attraction has escaped as unscathed.
A number of animals died after floods swept through the Hop Farm venue.
The Paddock Wood attraction would not confirm how many or what animals had been killed, but said a number, including chickens, had been saved.
A spokesman said: "It is with regret that I can confirm we did lose animals to flooding over the Christmas period.
"The town now is open for business, there's lots of people around and it's very buoyant in the town centre at the moment" - Bill Moss
"All our staff came to help and try and rescue them, working day and night to save as many as they could. It could have been a total loss but it was not.
"We have a high level of care and passion for the animals here and a number put themselves at risk to ensure many survived.
"We were hit with an unprecedented situation and we did all we could."
A statement on the Hop Farms Facebook page thanked the staff for their help and public for their support.
All surviving animals have now been moved and re-homed on a temporary basis.
More flood pictures and stories are in a 14-page special inside the latest edition of the Kent Messenger - on sale now.

Three car collision on Clifton Bridge
Posted: September 01, 2014|
Traffic has ground to a halt on Clifton Bridge after a three car collision on Monday morning.
Nottinghamshire Police were called to the scene on the inbound lanes at 8.10am after three vehicles were involved in a collision.
There were no injuries to the people involved, but recovery crews had to remove one vehicle from the road.
Nottingham City Transport said one lane was closed and delays were expected on Navy Line buses and the L53.
A spokesman from the police said the recovery teams were still there at around 9.30am, but should be finished soon for the road to fully re-open.
