Create a Profile for Free
Go to the TEAMS site, login, and start adding dogs and humans on the competitors tab. Then go to the teams tab and join a dog with a human to make a team.
Create a Profile for Free
Go to the TEAMS site, login, and start adding dogs and humans on the competitors tab. Then go to the teams tab and join a dog with a human to make a team.
Activate Your Teams
Activated teams have access to stat tracking tools, can earn achievements and UPs, and are eligible for Worlds Qualification and points tracking. Read this document for instruction on "activating" your team.
Track Your Achievements
Attend UpDog Challenge events and earn Achievements and UPs as you play. Points, achievements and UPs are tracked under each teams profile. You can also view your Worlds Qualifying points needed for each game.
An UpDog profile is free. You can create a profile for yourself and as many dogs and even other handlers/humans as you like. You would then combine handlers and dogs to create teams. Once you create a team you get a UTN or UpDog Team Number. This is free.
1. Create your profile for free
2. Enter each of your dogs and handlers on the competitors tab
3. Go to the teams tab and combine a dog and handler/human to get a team number.
4. Activate each team with a lifetime membership
5. Enter those codes on the teams tabs to enable your teams
In order to view stats and receive Achievements and UPs for a team you must ACTIVATE that team. Activating a team is just $20 per team.
Data on your team profiles, like points and achievements, are not considered official if there is an x in your team or competitor number.
go to Teams.Updogchallenge.com You can then join or login via the links at the top right corner. If you are already logged in, just click on your name to see all the profile tabs.
Several factors come into play here.
1. The event data needs to be submitted by the Tournament Director
2. Previous data from before you created your team, must be manually appended to your team and can take some time. Shoot us an email to start that process email@example.com
3. Other stuff…
So give us a week before you email. Check the events page and if you see the event listed that means the data has been uploaded. If your team has not been updated, shoot us an email.
Couple thing might be happening.
1. Someone else has a dog with the same name.
2. Prior to having a team number, your data may have been stored with a different variation of your dogs name
3. You or we may have added your dog with the same name and have not yet merged the old data with your new team.
So…email is if you feel you are missing data or have duplicate dogs and we will get it cleared up for you.
Teams new to UpDog can still play without activating! That process will continue to work the same as it does today. New/non-activated teams will not earn achievements, UPs or points for UPDIF, but they can play at local events. If new/non-activated teams opt to activate later their points will be applied to their newly activated team, and achievements and UPs will be retroactively earned.
Activations will now be a one-time cost of $20 per team.
Already an existing activated team?No worries we have got you covered! For every year you have previously purchased a code for your team you get $5 off your lifetime activation. Activated in 2018 and 2019? Your cost in 2020 will be $10 and you'll never have to pay for activation for that team again. Activated in 2015 and every year since? Your cost will be $0!
Are you activating a team with a senior dog?We have you covered too! Dogs 8 years old and older during the calendar year you are activating are only $10. If a senior dog is renewing an existing activation the cost will be the cheaper of the two.
To help grow the sport from the ground up…youth competitor teams are just $10. Youth must be 15 years of age or under through 12/31 the year of activation to be eligible for the youth discount.

The EU relatively stable political and institutional environment makes it an attractive destination for laundering the proceeds of criminal activities. Research estimates that illicit markets in the European Union generated about 110 billion EUR, i.e. approximately 1% of the EU GDP in 2010. Huge amounts of illicit flows are also leaving the EU. According to the European Commission, up to 1 trillion EUR could be lost every year by the EU due to tax fraud and evasion.
Not only does this constitute a serious threat to the EU financial stability and security, but also by diverting money from the public purse, it contributes to distorting public policy, eroding the role of the state as a public service provider and undermining citizens´ rights and trust in their institutions.
The EU plays a key role in preventing, detecting and stopping illicit money flowing in and out of the EU including by:
Transparency International EU provides policy analysis and recommendations and advocate for policy change at EU and Member State levels in a number of policy areas including:
Since 2013, Transparency International EU has been monitoring closely EU legislative processes related to the adoption of stronger European anti-money laundering standards, in particular on aspects related to beneficial ownership transparency. Transparency international EU advocated for the adoption of stronger beneficial ownership transparency standards as part of the revision of the 4th Anti-Money Laundering Directive adopted in December 2017. The new EU rules establishes public access to beneficial ownership information as a principle.
To support its advocacy work, Transparency International EU carried out evidence-based research and analysis on the current state-of-play of beneficial ownership transparency standards and practices. Its most recent findings are summarised in a report Under the Shell: Ending Money Laundering in Europe published in April 2017.
Professional enablers such as accountants and real estate agents play an essential gatekeeping role in the fight against money laundering. Transparency International seeks to increase engagement with the accountancy and real estate professions on anti-money laundering issues and in particular, how to strengthen the effectiveness of business anti-money laundering practices. In this respect, it has set up taskforces involving experts and practitioners for a cross-country exchange on common challenges faced by those sectors and existing good business practices.
According to estimations, European authorities had been only able to recover €1.2 billion each year. This is 1.1% of the €110 billion, which Transcrime Institute estimates that illicit markets in the European Union generate. A number of legal, institutional and political barriers need to be overcome in order to guarantee responsible repatriation of illegally acquired assets. To further the efforts for recovering stolen assets, Transparency International EU is leading an initiative aimed at exploring the role the EU can play in facilitating responsible asset recovery focusing on the grand corruption case of Uzbekistan.
Following the 2008 financial crisis, new kinds of investor schemes have blossomed across Europe with the aim to offer fast-track residency or even citizenship to third-country nationals in return for investments in the national economy. Although, increased foreign investment in key economic sectors in Member States may seem very welcome, these programmes also raise serious concerns that these schemes may offer easy access and legitimate cover for money launderers wishing to introduce substantial amounts of illicit money in the market. Another characteristic of these schemes is that they essentially rely on their capacity to offer free access to the Schengen area. As such, the lack of transparency and checks over these schemes risks undermining EU core values and citizenship principles. Aware of the European dimension of the issue, Transparency International EU is advocating for an EU-level intervention to ensure Member States adopt stronger integrity and transparency standards in the management of these schemes.

CORVALLIS, Ore. — Oregon State University's College of Agricultural Sciences said goodbye to seven long-time Department of Crop and Soil Science personnel in a celebration Dec. 12 that drew researchers, crop consultants, farmers and university administrators.
The celebration included a recognition ceremony during which participants honored long-time OSU Extension personnel Bill Young, Glenn Fisher and John Hart, as well as Department of Soil Science personnel Ann Corey, John Baham, Barbara Reed and former department head Russ Karow.
All are retiring from the university in the coming weeks or have recently retired.
Fisher, Hart, Karow and Young, particularly, were well known among Oregon farmers, who utilized their research to improve crop management practices.
New Crop and Soil Science Department head Jay Noller said research conducted by Fisher, an entomologist, was vital in helping farmers battle slugs and insect pests that increased after field burning was phased out in the Willamette Valley.
As for Young, Noller said: "Bill is one of those names that comes up around the world." In a meeting in France, Noller said a scientist asked him if he knew Bill Young after learning Noller was from OSU.
Noller also read a letter from the International Herbage Seed Group thanking Young for his research and group participation.
Bill Brewer, executive director of the Oregon Potato Commission, was among several to offer comments about Karow. "There is a difference between how growers speak and how the university speaks," Brewer said, "and Russ understands both languages.
"He has done a wonderful job being part of our industry," Brewer said.
Noller said the department is in the process of locating a new extension soil specialist to replace Hart and is looking for a new soil landscape scientist to backfill his previous position.
Noller, a soil landscape scientist, replaced Karow as department head earlier this fall.
The department doesn't have an immediate plans to fill Young's extension seed specialist position.
"That is still out in the future," Noller said.
As for replacing the 230 years of institutional memory that were on hand Dec. 12, Noller said that will be impossible.
"We are saddened by the loss," he said, "but they've accomplished so much, they deserve a break."
Steve Gapp, a consultant for Crop Production Services, may have put the participants' sentiment best when in addressing the audience, he said: "Myself, and the farmers we work with, are the ones who have been the recipients of the work these people have done.
"Thank you again on behalf of the industry for all your hard work," Gapp said.

Looks REALLY good man, it's clear you put a lot of work into this. Have a few issues, though;
-Doors. WHY are they so overpriced? 3000 is...acceptable, for the most part, but 10'000 for the main door?! I wouldn't mind if there was anything in most of the rooms beyond like one weapon and another two 4500 point doors. It...annoyed me, to say the least.
-Not helped by the sheer amount of barred doors around the map. The other comments mention some sort of hacking device, so perhaps I just haven't found the right solution yet.
-I just couldn't find Juggernog. I must've looked around the map multiple times and nothing. Perhaps I'm just blind.
-Two Pack-a-Punch Machines. I...don't understand.
Apart from that, however, I really liked this map. I'd give it...3.5/5, I guess. Good job.
I am trying to play with another person, but when he starts the game or me for that fact, the other player gets stuck on that ugx mod screen where it says to move the mouse but like we both try doing that but it doesnt work, is there a workaround for this?

Being in charge and in control of your money is a great feeling, and it's never too early to start. Managing and saving/investing your money well now also gives you more freedom in other parts of your life (i.e. you don't have to take a job just because you need money), so it's critical to master this topic early on. But too often we put off thinking about money until after graduate school or other training.

Breaking Glass Ceiling Socks
One of our members, Alice Edwards, has designed a sock to encourage women empowerment and support women in STEM, and is collaborating with our International GWIS chapter to donate 25% of the net proceeds to the International GWIS chapter. Why empowerment socks? While Alice works as a business consultant and is completing her Ph.D. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology because of her passion for helping individuals overcome all types of discrimination and adverse impact in the workplace, her first degree was in Fashion Design, and after seeing a bunch of other other non-empowering socks being sold in novelty stores, she came up with the idea of designing socks with a more positive goal of motivating, encouraging, and empowering positive change. Alice hopes that wearing the socks will help inspire the wearer, possibly help strike up conversations and encourage further leadership, and also provide another funding opportunity to raise money for worthy causes like GWIS. You can check out the socks at https://theceowithin.selz.com/.

Join us at the Farm!
Crabtree Farms is successful in large part due to the generosity of our volunteers. There are several different ways to volunteer, and today we'll discuss two of them: with our farm staff and at our special events.
The farm staff is comprised of 4.5 hearty individuals committed to fields and greenhouse. Clearly, that isn't enough folks to manage 3 greenhouses, 2.5 high tunnels, and roughly 4 acres of sustainable vegetable production. So we turn with loving need to you, the public. You needn't have any skills or knowledge whatsoever, we'll teach you at each step of the way. Within our farm/greenhouse volunteers there is a special subset, the WorkShares.
These are folk who commit to working with us every week for the entire season in exchange for a CSA share. It is a big and important commitment, and we take it very seriously – WorkShares become our farm hands, our colleagues, our friends, and our trusted and dependable assistants. If you are interested in joining this exclusive team of committed individuals, please fill out the WorkShare form on our website – we still have slots available for both Greenhouse and Farm WorkShare.
Crabtree hosts a minimum of 3 large, special events each year: Spring Plant Sale, 100 Dinner, and Fall Plant Sale. Though Crabtree does many things in and for our community, our staff is tiny (7 at current count), which means that volunteers make our special events possible. Quite honestly, you run the events with and for us. We are with you every step of the way and provide training for your event task, but we could never pull off any of the events we do all by ourselves.
This year the Spring Plant Sale is Fri-Sun, April 5-7, and we are looking for folks to help. It is a rockin' good time and we take great care of you. Morning slots are filling up, though still available, and our afternoon slots are looking a bit empty. Please email or call Rachel Gray for more information about times, dates, and tasks available: [email protected] or (423)493-9155 x14.

NEW YORK – May 10, 2016 – APPrise Mobile, the native app platform for mobile communications and creator of theEMPLOYEEapp® and theIRapp®, today announced that it has been named a "Cool Vendor" in Gartner's 2016 Cool Vendors in the Digital Workplace report.1 APPrise Mobile is included as one of five new and innovative vendors, products and services that "tell the story of the employee's journey through the digital workplace."
"Since we were founded in 2012, we have worked incredibly hard to develop a technology solution that gives communications and HR professionals the ability to incorporate and take advantage of mobile as a strategy for communicating with internal and external audiences. The relationship between IT and a company's business units is critical to its operational and financial success. We are proud that Gartner, one of the leading and most influential technology analyst firms, has recognized APPrise Mobile as we continue our efforts to further this cause," said Jeff Corbin, CEO and Founder of APPrise Mobile.
He continued, "One of the key findings of the report is that 'mobile-centric mechanisms for handling internal communications make it easier for employees to access information that keeps them aligned with their leaders' vision, stay up to date on news and initiatives, and provide feedback.' theEMPLOYEEapp directly addresses this finding as it provides an easy to deploy and cost effective solution for organizations of any size – small, medium and the enterprise."
The APPrise Mobile technology platform was founded and developed by communications and HR professionals. It enables those who are not necessarily tech-savvy to have their own company branded app without the time and expense associated with app development.
Corbin concluded, "We consider our inclusion in Gartner's report as further validation of not only why our solution is important to the corporate communications, PR and HR industries, but also why the need exists for organizations to rethink how they communicate with internal and external audiences. As Gartner recommends in the report, HR and IT leaders should 'Reassess how their organization enables two-way communication between leaders and subordinate employees. Think beyond traditional portals and email to enterprise messaging platforms and apps that enable a more agile, dynamic, engaging and continuous feedback loop.'"

About APPrise Mobile
Created for and focused on the communications industry (corporate communications, public relations and investor relations), APPrise Mobile is an app development platform that allows any organization to have its own proprietary branded app on the public app stores or as part of a MDM or enterprise solution.

It seems like everywhere I turn, there is an article or person praising the benefits of natural healing. Whether that is needing help with headaches, stress, anxiety, or even muscle tension from a hard workout – plants are able to provide natural wellness.
To learn more about essential oils and their benefits, I had the pleasure of attending Saje's Grand Opening Party in San Jose.
The newest Saje Wellness store is located at the Valley Fair mall in San Jose.
First off, the store is very open and inviting. I loved all the marble tables and pendent lights!
Plus, how cool are these living walls?
I was first drawn to their line of ultrasonics and diffusers.
This is a great way to experience the benefits of essential oils by diffusing them into the air. In the store, they had Mountain High diffusing. I could pick up the notes of balsam fir and spearmint!
I probably looked a little lost at first, but the entire staff was so welcoming and encouraging. The first oil I tried, ended up being my favorite – Peppermint Halo.
Peppermint Halo
This oil is meant to be comforting and refreshing. Applied on the temples and along your neck, you instantly feel a tingly sensation. It's really hard to put into words, but I felt like I was standing up straighter and felt more relaxed.
Online, you can read the reviews from users shouting from the rooftops that this oil is their holy grail Saje product.
If you are new to essentials oils like me, one of their most popular products is the 25th Anniversary Pocket Farmacy.
Inside this kit, you can find best selling oils like the Fortify Antitussive, Pain Release, Peppermint Halo, Gutzy Soothing Belly Masssage Blend, and Stress Release.
This kit is small enough to stick in your purse and carry along with you each day!
So last night, I came home and started to diffuse my bedroom with the Tranqility blend. Immediately, I could smell the chamomile and lavender. It was perfect for winding down.
Then while laying in bed, I rolled on the Stress Release oil on my temples and wrists. I loved breathing in the scents.
It honestly was really relaxing!
If you have a favorite Saje product – I want to know what I should pick up next. Leave me a comment below with your favorites.

Greer? No Fear!
I recently had the very great pleasure of compering Germaine Greer at the first of a series of events at the Gate in Roath. 'An Audience With' aims to bring the good people of Cardiff a variety of high-profile personalities, including actors, writers, sports stars, and politicians. Simon Weston was this month's guest, and next month's is Roy Hattersley - but our first kicked off, in a high-kick style, with the nation's most famous feminist.
Like most educated ladies of my age, I read The Female Eunuch at university, and was affected by it greatly. This was to the point of me managing to quote Greer (and my other favourite writer at that time, Helene Cixous) in every English essay paper - even Chaucer! Greer's writing made clear so many things that I was unconsciously aware of but unable to put a name to; I'd already realised that there were about a thousand swears featuring female terms (cow, bitch, tit, etc.) and very few for male, but many of her other assertions made other, more subtle subjects, crystal clear. It became a kind of bible for me, for a while.
So, to meet Greer now, was extremely exciting. I also felt nervous. The septugenarian has a 'rep' for being outspoken and opinionated, and for stirring people up with controversial opinions... I wondered how she would be with me.
I needn't have worried, of course. Germaine was as friendly and personable as you would've hoped, though with strongly-held, and freely-expressed, opinions. I spent about 45 minutes with her backstage while we waited for the show to begin; one minute we'd be talking about the difficulties of parking; the next we had leaped (not because of me!) onto discussing the penis and popular opinion of it. Germaine's conversation casually veered from the mundane to the remarkable, from writing to keeping accounts to her recent, much-enjoyed talks to young girls in schools, to the terrible topic of sexual assault. Once Germaine was on stage, I realised that, like most great performers, she had been practising some of her material on me - little bits and pieces that had seemed so (wonderfully) random then, were now spoken here, and to great effect. Anyone who came along to the evening will be aware that Greer is as funny and engaging as many a stand-up. The fact the house was full (370 people!), with both men and women, spoke volumes.
In all, I would say that I found Germaine to be a person who perhaps enjoys playing devil's advocate. Her 'rep', I feel, comes from her deliberately wanting to poke at people's thoughts, to get them to question their own assumptions. Perhaps this is then portrayed in the popular press as wilfulness. I also found Germaine to be less a 'feminist' than a 'humanist' in what she was saying. She struck me as a fine mind with a good heart - a sage older person who simply thinks everyone should have equal rights. The image of the younger Greer, I think, has forever thrown a fanatical, 'wimmin's rights' sorta shadow over the philosopher she has become.
The happiest moment of the evening came, for me, when an unprompted audience sang 'Happy Birthday' to Germaine - this event co-incidentally marked her 73rd birthday. As compere, I had intended to arrange something like this, but the fact it happened naturally, again, says a lot.
The only other question I'd like to address, of the many I've been asked, is - is Germaine still hot? Well, for a 73-year old, yes, I suppose she is. I guess it really depends on whether you find a brilliant mind sexy in itself. Certainly, many do, as you can see from this guy's blog. I'm not sure what Germaine would think of the question, but since it's a woman who asked it of me, perhaps she wouldn't mind (?).
Anyway... This is the longest post I've ever written! Hope to see you at some of the future events, bye for now!

On Nipple Tassles & Other Important Matters
I had the great pleasure of recording a podcast with the lovely folk at Hack/Flash recently. This terrific trio is made up of Helia Phoenix, Carl Morris, and Lee Marshall, and they were a delight to talk to. I would like to say they are as bright as buttons, but buttons are not very bright, really - well, not the ones I've seen - so I will just say they are as bright as the brightest thing you, dearest reader, can possibly imagine, and as sharp as the sharpest thing your mind can conjure (though, veer your imagination away from knives, and other hurt-y things, and instead towards sharp-yet-pleasant things, such as running your nails along your own palm, or those of your lover... or is that just me?). What I really like about this triangular team, however, is the fact that they all have numerous projects on the go - Helia is the hepcat behind the We Are Cardiff project; Carl is the hipster who brings us the inspired Sleeveface; and Lee is a talented and tenacious musician, operating under the name of, amongst others, Underpass.
For some reason (perhaps because I was there, and I have the sense of humour of a 12-year old boy, and I still read Viz and think 'Johnny Fart-Pants' is the funniest this *ever*), we seemed to talk about men' and ladies' 'bits and bobs' a fair amount in this one, as well as various other topics, most of which I cannot remember, but which I do remember being very interesting, and so you should definitely listen to the podcast, by clicking the logo below-oh. Enjoy!!!

Looking towards the 2009 ISDE in Portugal
By Chilly White
I am pretty excited to have qualified for the International Six Days Enduro again this year. The race takes place in October in Figueira da Foz Portugal. This will be my forth time competing and I have attended three other times, once as pre rider and chase rider for Team USA. I always get asked tons of questions about the ISDE race and preparing for it, so I thought would talk a little about what it takes to compete.
Each year the AMA selects riders to represent the USA at this event. The overall team is made up of 6 Trophy Team riders, 4 Juniors (under 24), 3 Women and 21 Club Team riders. The selection process varies a little each year, but essentially you have to compete in the "Qualifier Series" to be selected. This year by virtue of my class win at the Missouri qualifier, I have been selected to ride on the JAFMAR Racing senior team. I will get to ride alongside "Mr. ISDE" himself, Jeff Fredette, he is a great guy and I am looking forward to it. Jeff and I are doing a fund raising T-shirt together commemorating 60 years of US riders at the Six Days, dating clear back to 1949 when Tommy McDermott won a gold medal. Klim has stepped up to support the US riders by designing a national team jersey and by helping sponsor our club team T-shirt.
Racing the ISDE is a pretty grueling experience. For five days the course will average 150 miles per day, nearly 8 hours of riding. The sixth day is typically short, featuring the final motos for every class. Except for the handful of exceptionally talented riders it takes a tremendous amount of training and preparation to be successful. I don't count myself as one of the really talented ones, so I have to greatly rely on my preparation. It is not only necessary to have good physical endurance, but mental endurance is nearly as important. As a rider you need to be able to keep constant focus to care for yourself and your bike. On top of that, there are usually 7-8 time checks per day that you have to remember to go through on time. Finally, each day you have to reserve just enough energy to service the bike and change tires during the 15 minute work period.
As for now, it is summer time and most of the racing here in Southern California is on summer break so I can spend my time training. The first time I rode the ISDE I spent nearly all my training time doing long off road rides. I went and rode everywhere and with anybody I could find. That year it worked out well; the 2002 Czech race was incredibly hard due to the muddy conditions. Only half of all the riders entered were able to finish the event. Even though I only finished with a bronze medal, I still consider that one of my best personal accomplishments. While my physical conditioning was important, I really only finished the race by shear mental determination. Needless to say, that was a race of survival, speed was never even a factor for me.
These days I do spend quite a lot of time working on my speed. Nearly all of the "racing" that happens at the ISDE is in the special tests and most of those are grass tracks. This simply means that some type of course has been laid out in a field and typically features short straights and lots of flat corners. I feel the only way to practice and increase speed for these types of tests is by riding motocross. Moto is the best way to really learn how to corner effectively. It isn't so much about learning how to do big jumps, so I typically head for the local vet moto tracks. Here the jumps are manageable and I get the chance to just practice the same elements, like corner and ruts, over and over again. That is where the real learning comes from and it is something that is very difficult to replicate in an off road environment. The other thing about riding moto is that it is really two benefits in one; practicing speed and increasing strength/stamina. I use a heart rate monitor to keep an eye on my level of exertion. I was amazed when I first started this at how high my heart rate was on the track, often in the 150-160 range. Moto is a very intense workout.
As a balance to that workout, I also spend lots of time on my mountain bike. Again, by tracking my heart rate I work to keep my bike training at a much lower level of intensity to focus on endurance and over distance training. While this is not the only way to accomplish this, for me I just love being on the mtn bike. Because I enjoy it, it is easy for me to do longer distances and keeps it fresh feeling. Also the bike is a low impact exercise. As injury is always a concern when doing this much training, I stick to mostly easy routes and two track type roads. My riding pace is primarily dictated by the heart rate monitor so I can stay at a consistent rate. Of course I throw in some max heart rate intervals to mix things up once in a while. There is tons of information available online to learn more about some of these methods. It is always rewarding to see your heart rate levels start to decrease as your conditioning improves.
I do a lot of visualization and I know that can sound a little odd, but it can be hard to keep focused for the long periods between races, so I always keep the vision of my goal in mind. I am always looking towards that finish line. Everything I do today, all the training and preparation, is to help me reach that goal. I find that this outlook always helps me keep focused and makes the goal feel realistic.
Everybody has different ways to approach race training. I have found some things that work for me, but it is always a learning process. Along with that I always think of one of the bits of advice my dad gave me when I first started racing. In referring to his days of racing he told me that; as he was never going to be the fastest rider, he always felt it was important to have the best possible equipment. That idea has always remained with me and is one of the reasons I am so particular about the products and people I work with.

Turkish Premier League side, Fenerbahce have retained Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike, after the club decided to release some of their senior players.
Emenike who did not enjoyed his stay in Turkey last season due to fans row, will now be one the players the team will be banking on in the new season.
According to turkish-football.com, five key players were released at the end of the season and the Super Eagles was lucky enough to be retained by the club.
The statement read: "Fenerbahce sports club will not extend the contracts of Selçuk Sahin, Bekir Irtegün, Egemen Korkmaz, Mert Günok and Pierre Webo."
Reaction from the club also stated that:"We would like to thank all five players for their services to the club and wish them all the best in the future."
It would be recalled that the Nigeria international has been linked with several clubs but yet to make decision about his future.
Meanwhile, Emenike who was not part of the 2017 African Cup of Nations qualifier against Chad in Kaduna last weekend recently lost his father.

The story of True Soul, an independent record label from Little Rock, Arkansas, and its founder, Lee Anthony: "From the outset, True Soul had been an experiment. Rather than standing by while local talent fled to the nearby city of Memphis, the hotbed of Southern soul, Lee Anthony decided to start his own label in Little Rock, the capital of his home state, to tap into the city's rich offerings of gospel, soul, and funk and put Little Rock's long-overlooked music scene on the map."
"Blessed with a helplessly big voice, Kenni Huskey began performing at age seven on the Memphis program Country Shindig in 1962, singing with local country and rockabilly stalwart Eddie Bond. For her first taping, she was too tiny to reach the microphone, and Eddie stacked two wooden Coca-Cola crates so her little face could reach it."
In 2009, the OA asked 134 judges what they considered to be the best Southern books of all time. They came up with a list for fiction and nonfiction, choosing from more than five hundred titles. This is the underdogs list, the books that didn't make the cut for "best" but are more than worth adding to your bookshelves.
Why has Barry Hannah—though considered by many writers and scholars to be the current Great One of Southern Letters (and most would drop the modifiers "current" and "Southern")—continued to fall under that lackluster rubric, the Writer's Writer?
The Thomas Wolfe Memorial does not move us to think about the creative spirit so much as it moves us to think about everyday life. Cleave it from its ties to literary celebrity and it becomes replete in and of itself: Come see how, in a certain place at a certain time, some people lived, and some made a living.
"Rereading the novel on my own the summer before teaching it, I was stunned once more by its complexity. Absalom is not an easy read, and it resists casual intimacy. Sentences swell and loop, wind-ing into rhetorical knots. Narrators speculate, are ignorant, or just plain lie. Faulkner himself rarely appears, and he never brings answers. Sixteen-year-olds, I knew—even the most clever ones—tend to read in anticipation of Aesopian morality, a thematic deus ex machina, and Faulkner simply doesn't provide one."
In 2009, the Oxford American polled a group of 134 judges for what they considered to be the best Southern Literature of all time. This list is their verdict on the region's best nonfiction.
In 1995, when the late Larry Brown first published (in the Oxford American) the essay "Billy Ray's Farm" about his son's farm in Lafayette County, Mississippi, he was both realistic and optimistic about the challenges of farm life. He could not have known that one day his friend, the renowned chef John Currence, would open Big Bad Breakfast, a new kind of diner featuring local ingredients, including dairy products from Billy Ray's heifers. John T. Edge recently visited Billy Ray and his milking cows at the Brown Family Dairy.
An open letter to the man who put together one of the many collections of America's Greatest Hits: "If you're really going to anthologize America's Greatest Hits—your title, certainly not mine—you're going to need someone who has seen a lot more of the world than the Ivy-League American-Studies major I assume you think you're looking for."
Reminisces of eating rat-trap cheese: "We ate it in the parking lot, with sleeves of crackers and tins of sardines, its hue a not-of-this-world orange, with a texture that straddled cheddar and polyester. And a red wax rind. Stored beneath a see-through plastic dome. Sliced into wedges with a countrified guillotine."

NUJ praises parliamentary calls for 'snoopers charter' re-think
11 February 2016
The NUJ has welcomed the criticism of the draft Investigatory Powers Bill (IPB) by two parliamentary committees, and backs the call for stronger measures to protect journalists and sources. The bill aims to bring together the numerous state surveillance powers into one piece of legislation.
A parliamentary joint committee has published 86 recommendations including greater judicial oversight, and called for significant amendments and demanded that the IPB codes of practice should be published with the bill.
Michelle Stanistreet, NUJ general secretary, said:
"The NUJ warmly welcomes the recognition by the parliamentary joint committee that the draft Investigatory Powers Bill does not adhere to the standards or existing protections for journalism enshrined in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) and the Terrorism Act.
"This is a critical bill that needs substantial changes and the NUJ has repeatedly called for changes to ensure that the state surveillance of communications meta-data, as well as the content, should have the same status and associated protections as journalistic material.
"We would urge the government to listen to both parliamentary committees and the exceptionally united views of the media industry on this issue."
The parliamentary joint committee report acknowledges:
"Journalists have found themselves without these safeguards in a number of instances where the Police have sought to make use of RIPA provisions which do not require judicial approval for the interception, acquisition and disclosure of communications data and covert and human surveillance. As well as side-stepping the need for judicial approval a number of Police forces also failed to comply with relevant requirements (now contained in the RIPA Acquisition and Disclosure of Communications Data Code of Practice 2015) relating to the authorisation of police activity under RIPA."
The joint committee has recommended:
- The protection for journalistic privilege should be fully addressed by way of substantive provisions on the face of the bill.
- The Home Office should reconsider the level of protection which the bill affords to journalistic material and sources. This should be at least equivalent to the protection presently applicable under PACE and the Terrorism Act 2000.
- If clause 61 of the draft IPB remains in its present form then the bill should make it clear that RIPA and clause 61 do not act so as to enable the investigatory authorities to avoid the application of PACE or the Terrorism Act and the ability they afford to the media to know about an application for communications data and make representations as to the proposed acquisition.
- The Home Office should review clause 61 to ensure that it meets the requirements of Article 10 of the European Court of Human Rights.
The report also recognises the NUJ's concerns about the draft IPB:
"Andy Smith, representing the National Union of Journalists (NUJ), referred to the system of prior notification which exists under PACE and which offers the opportunity to explain a situation, so that a judge can make a variation of an application made to him (which may lead to the disclosure of less material than is sought), which, the NUJ considered would very difficult under the proposed framework. He also said that PACE means that journalists are supplied with sufficient information about an application, for instance what other means have been attempted to obtain the information and a face-to-face hearing enables journalists to demonstrate, particularly to potential sources of information, their commitment to source protection. The draft legislation would not afford a right to appeal for a journalist.
"In its written submission the NUJ echoed the views set out in its oral evidence, in particular in respect of prior notification of applications for journalistic material. Further, it noted that there is no prior right of notification for journalists or media organisations where their material is either deliberately, incidentally, collaterally or accidentally sought or obtained, whether by the police or by intelligence agencies and the proposed measures can be bypassed by using urgency procedures.
"The NUJ was also concerned that the police will now start using the draft Bill's powers routinely to identify sources instead of making PACE/Terrorism Act applications for a journalist's material as they consider that the draft Bill provides an easier route for the authorities to identify a journalists' source when it is compared to PACE. It agreed with other witnesses that the production order procedures set out in PACE offer better safeguards and protections than those proposed in the draft Bill. It also argued that the draft Bill's current proposals would not allow journalists to protect the identity of sources or provide sufficient protections for journalists' materials and communications as laid down in its Code of Conduct. This could result in informers being unwilling to speak out and also in journalists being perceived as informers possibly impacting on their safety in certain instances. It also noted that the proposed oversight will only apply for the purpose of an application to identify a journalistic source and the judicial authorisation set out in the draft Bill will only cover the police and not the security and intelligence agencies.
"The Union was also concerned by the broad nature of powers on 'equipment interference' and the access which they will provide for authorities. The NUJ concluded that the draft Bill needs better safeguards and not just in the section relating to the interception of communications data."
Earlier this week parliament's intelligence and security committee also criticised the IPB and called for further amendments. The committee chair, Dominic Grieve, said: "Taken as a whole, the draft bill fails to deliver the clarity that is so badly needed in this area."

An interview by Yaron London with Zvi Yehezkeli on Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman and the Muslim Brotherhood.

It will be noted that the eminent British scholar of Islam Professor Denis MacEoin has commented as follows beneath the video on Youtube:
"I advise caution here. Many of the statements made by Muhammad ibn Salman in his Atlantic interview struck me as attempts to pull the wool over many people's eyes. For example, in the early section, he declared that 'Islam means peace' and that this was, in fact, a correct translation. As a fluent Arab speaker and reader, he knows perfectly well that 'Islam', which is the fourth form of the verb (aslama) means 'submission'. `'Peace' (from the same root) is 'salam'.
He said a lot of other things (which I can't recall now) designed to present a positive image of Islam. But the interviewee is right to point out that 'din wa dawla' go together. Islam has always been a perfect combination of religion and state. You can't, for example, remove jihad from shari'a law without removing it from the Qur'an, the ahadith, and the lives of the prophet and his successors. Ditto for the Islamic views of all nonbelievers or specifically Jews and Christians. There are many eminent would-be reformers in Islam, yet none of them has succeeded in creating a true overhaul of the faith. The only true answer to Islamic radicalism would be for total secularism. But would-be secularisers such as Ataturk or Reza Shah failed in the end – look at Turkey under Erdogan or Iran under the post-1979 regime.
In the mid-fifties, when the Baha'i leader Shoghi Effendi Rabbani was writing about the fate of Islam, he considered it a dead letter and wrote about its institutions, clergy, etc as being in total collapse. Today, it is stronger in many ways than it was in the 19th century. If ibn Salman tries to overhaul the Wahhabi state, he will be assassinated. I would like to think he will achieve great things, but I would exercise caution about him and other would-be reformers." [Emphasis added]

Broadband in telecommunications is a term which refers to a signaling method which includes or handles a relatively wide range of frequencies which may be divided into channels or frequency bins. Broadband is always a relative term, understood according to its context. The wider the bandwidth, the more information can be carried. In radio, for example, a very narrowband signal will carry Morse code; a broader band will carry speech; a yet broader band is required to carry music without losing the high audio frequencies required for realistic sound reproduction. A television antenna described as "normal" may be capable of receiving a certain range of channels; one described as "broadband" will receive more channels. In data communications a modem will transmit a bandwidth of 64 kilobits per seconds (kbit/s) over a telephone line; over the same telephone line a bandwidth of several megabits per second can be handled by ADSL, which is described as broadband (relative to a modem over a telephone line, although much less than can be achieved over a fibre optic circuit, for example). With Cable Broadband there is a higher chance of maintaining a constant broadband speed compared to ADSL services.
Broadband in data communications may have the same meaning as above, so that data transmission over a fiber optic cable would be referred to as broadband as compared to a telephone modem operating at 600 bits per second.
However, broadband in data communications is frequently used in a more technical sense to refer to data transmission where multiple pieces of data are sent simultaneously to increase the effective rate of transmission, regardless of actual data rate. In network engineering this term is used for methods where two or more signals share a medium.
Various forms of Digital Subscriber Line service are broadband in the sense that digital information is sent over one channel and voice over another channel sharing a single pair of wires. Analog modems operating at speeds greater than 600 bit/s are technically broadband. They obtain higher effective transmission rates by using multiple channels with the rate on each channel limited to 600 baud. For example, a 2400 bit/s modem uses four 600 baud channels (see baud). This is in contrast to a baseband transmission where one type of signal uses a medium's full bandwidth such as 100BASE-T Ethernet.
Communications may utilize a number of distinct physical channels simultaneously; this is multiplexing for multiple access. Such channels may be distinguished by being separated from each other in time (time division multiplexing or TDMA), in carrier frequency (frequency division multiplexing (FDMA) or wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)), or in access method (code division multiplexing or CDM). Each channel that takes part in such a multiplexing exercise is by definition narrowband (because it is not utilising the whole bandwidth of the medium), whereas the whole set of channels taken together and utilized for the same communication could be described as broadband.

Since moving to a new domain a blog post about a flow was an overdue task. I've asked my wife Magdalena who normally writes about spirituality to share her thoughts on this very subject.
Hi All! It's a great honour and pleasure to be guest starring on Rafal's blog. It's a challenge too as I normally address different readers. I would like to offer you a much different approach to life and productivity as a part of it. Rafal asked me to write about flow, my understanding of it anyway. Before I get into that, let me just lay a foundation for you. The premise of my philosophy is this: you are not a body who has a soul; you are a soul who chose to have this physical experience in a body.
You are an energy being and part of you vibrates on a much slower rate (that is your physical self). Everything that happens to you is a match to your vibrations. Your thoughts, words, feelings and actions are vibrations too and they very much add on to this vast vortex of energy that is your being. I hope you're still with me.
So… what is flow in that case?
Flow is your natural state. It simply means you are in alignment with the vaster part of you – your soul. When you experience flow your body is relaxed, you breathe deeply, your mind is clear and you feel calm. All 'positive' emotions which show up in this state are just indicating that you are still in alignment with your essence. Flow fundamentally is the absence of resistance. When resistance to what is shows up the flow ceases as your body and mind contract, tense up and you experience 'negative' emotions. Note: emotions are like sign posts letting you know if you are in alignment (positive ones) or out of it (negative ones).
Back to earth…
I'm sure all of you experienced this state when you felt really well, alive and in the zone when working on something exciting or maybe while hiking or running. In that time you are fully focused and immersed in what you're engaging with. There are no doubts, fears and not a shred of tension in your body. You felt vibrant, joyful and often elated by the experience.
The characteristics of the flow are openness and balance. Imagine that the flow is a stream of water, and you are on the boat floating in that water. If there's flow you go downstream, there are no obstacles on your path (there's no resistance) and your boat is in balance (not rocking). You are moving quite fast! It feels good too!
Now, let's translate that into real life: openness means accepting what is and engaging with it happily. Balance means just the right amount of time spending visualizing/day dreaming/planning/tapping into the bigger picture and taking action. If you ever saw ying/yang symbol – it is exactly that – perfect balance.
When you're engaged with a new exciting project you don't object it – you love it you want to do it (openness) and you have spent time thinking about it and picturing it in your mind's eye. When you have the clarity of what the broader picture is and how to make it happen, you get into action. You are also clear and sure of your steps. It is therefore easy and enjoyable to get to the desired outcome and you get there in nearly no time – the magic of the flow. There's one more crucial component of the flow: it is trust. You need to trust yourself (trust that our ideas are fabulous) and trust life that indeed your project is going to be successful.
We all would ideally like to experience flow (or in my world – alignment) more often if not all the time. I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen that often to you, huh? Don't worry, there's a way to practice the alignment/flow and be more in that fantastic state. How? By creating the right conditions for it… yes, you can create the flow it doesn't happen only by fluke!
I suggest start with something that helps you calm your mind (meditation works for me), the body will follow in feeling relaxed; emotions will be very calm. And you'll find yourself in the state of openness! Boom first condition! Also make peace with & accept what is – wherever you are in your life is perfect. You are just learning something important (everything that happens to you is a blessing – sometimes it's in disguise). Boom more openness!
Thank for what is (even if you don't like it), appreciate how great it is to be alive, to be you, to do and have all those things that work in your life.
Spend time connecting to the grand vision of your life or just a project… get clear on what you want and then visualize that as if it was already your reality (really picture it in full colour, feel how great it is… make the picture bigger and brighter). Then take action on it. Boom – condition two of the flow (balance).
Finally chose to trust, I know I know… easier said than done, but hey, trust is a choice. You can choose to trust yourself & life. If you feel resistance to that one (you know, the opposite of the flow), you might want to address your beliefs about life.
Now, you are experiencing the flow! Well done!
There's a hack to flow… I'll give you this hack… what the heck…
You consciously chose to feel good (vibrate high frequencies= being more of your vaster self= being in the flow).
If you feel crap just honour that feeling (by feeling it without the story attached to it, the feeling will pass in a matter of seconds) and when you're ready move on, do something that would cheer you up (dancing and goofing around works for me). When you feel better, keep moving upwards and chose to feel even better than that.
You want to aim for LOVE, GRATITUDE, JOY and EMPOWERMENT. These feelings are the ultimate flow. Then you're flowing and you're flying and it feels amazing!
See you there, flying up in the sky!
With love & sparkly hugs

Due to immigration in the past decades, there is an enormous diversity of religious belief in England, as well as a growing percentage that have no religious affiliation. Levels of attendance in various denominations have begun to decline. England is classed largely as a secular country even allowing for the following affiliation percentages : Christianity: 71.6%, Islam: 3.1%, Hindu: 1.1%, Sikh: 0.7%, Jewish: 0.5%, and Buddhist: 0.3%, No religion : 14.6%. The EU Eurobarometer poll of 2005 shows that only 38% of people in the UK believe in a god, while 40% believe in "some sort of spirit or life force" and 20% do not believe in either.
Christianity reached England through missionaries from Scotland and from Continental Europe; the era of St. Augustine (the first Archbishop of Canterbury) and the Celtic Christian missionaries in the north (notably St. Aidan and St. Cuthbert). The Synod of Whitby in 664 ultimately led to the English Church being fully part of Roman Catholicism. Early English Christian documents surviving from this time include the 7th century illuminated Lindisfarne Gospels and the historical accounts written by the Venerable Bede. England has many early cathedrals, most notably York Minster (1080), Durham Cathedral (1093) and Salisbury Cathedral (1220), In 1536, the Church was split from Rome over the issue of the divorce of King Henry VIII from Catherine of Aragon. The split led to the emergence of a separate ecclesiastical authority, and later the influence of the Reformation, resulting in the Church of England and Anglicanism. Unlike the other three constituent countries of the UK, the Church of England is an established church (although the Church of Scotland is a 'national church' recognised in law).
The 16th century break with Rome under the reign of King Henry VIII and the Dissolution of the Monasteries had major consequences for the Church (as well as for politics). The Church of England remains the largest Christian church in England; it is part of the Anglican Communion. Many of the Church of England's cathedrals and parish churches are historic buildings of significant architectural importance.
Other major Protestant denominations in England include the Methodist Church, the Baptist Church and the United Reformed Church. Smaller denominations, but not insignificant, include the Religious Society of Friends (the "Quakers") and the Salvation Army — both founded in England. There are also Afro-Caribbean Churches, especially in the London area.
The Roman Catholic Church re-established a hierarchy in England in the 19th century. Attendances were considerably boosted by immigration, especially from Ireland and more recently Poland.
The Church of England remains the official established church of England.
Other religionsEdit
Throughout the second half of the 20th century, immigration from many colonial countries, often from South Asia and the Middle East have resulted in a considerable growth in Islam, Sikhism and Hinduism in England. Cities and towns with large Muslim communities include Birmingham, Blackburn, Coventry, Bolton, Bradford, Leicester, London, Luton, Manchester, Oldham and Sheffield. Cities and towns with large Sikh communities include London, Slough, Staines, Hounslow, Southall, Reading, Ilford, Barking, Dagenham, Leicester, Leeds, Birmingham, Wolverhampton and others.
The Jewish community in England is mainly in the Greater London area, particularly the north west suburbs such as Golders Green; although Manchester, Leeds and Gateshead also have significant Jewish communities. England was also the founding place for many Neopagan religions, notably Wicca.

This is a reminder that your current Junior student will need to have a second meningitis vaccine prior to the first day of the 2020-2021 school year or they will not be allowed to attend until you show proof of vaccination. This includes student athletes. This is a mandatory West Virginia requirement. Please find attached a form you may take to the physician for them to complete upon receipt of vaccine and then return to me. Also attached is the Community Care Enrollment form, if you would like the vaccine given by the School-Based Health Center on Thursdays during school hours. After submitting the enrollment form, the student notifies the clinic they want the vaccine that week and the clinic will put them on the schedule.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The unnamed ITU Nurse was on duty in the Intensive Care Unit at Weatherfield General after Claire Peacock had been rushed into hospital in July 2009. Having been found collapsed and lying motionless on the floor in the front room of 13 Coronation Street by employer Lloyd Mullaney.
On a ventilator in Intensive Care, the Doctor told her husband Ashley that she was showing signs of regaining consciousness and encouraged him to speak to her to help bring her round. Offering him a chair, the nurse reassured Ashley that Claire would probably be aware that he was with her. However, he was quickly ushered out of the room when the monitors alerted the staff to a problem. The doctor later explained that Claire's blood pressure had dropped but now making good progress.

Dear Colleagues,
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great holiday season. I wanted to let you know that after 40 years of practicing dentistry, I will be retiring February 28th. I am thrilled that Dr. Tom Closurdo will be taking over my practice. I have great confidence that he will carry on with the same quality of dentistry that I have tried to provide to my patients.
I wanted to thank those of you whom I have worked with over the years. I am proud of our dental community and the high level of care that we all strive to provide our patients day in and day out. One of the highlights in my dental career was when many of you donated your time to help me maintain Tim Kulik's practice after his accident. It showed me how compassionate and caring you all were in a time of need. It was awesome that competitors could come together to help their fellow dentist. Thank you to all who were involved in helping during this difficult period.
I have also enjoyed my time working and serving on various committees in North Central Dental Society. I know our society is strong, thanks to the dental leadership and Laura Burton leading the way.
My health is good, but it is time for Nancy and me to be able to travel, spend more time at the lake, and see as many of our 5 grandchildren's activities in Carmel and Zionsville, Indiana as possible.
I do plan to keep my license active and want to let you all know, should you need a dentist to cover your office, either for vacation or illness, I am available and would enjoy helping. Thanks again to those of you during my career, who have assisted me either with common patients or advice. I am blessed to know all of you.
With Warmest Regards,
Daniel E. White D.D.S.

When you set up a Bitcoin wallet you are told to write down either 12 or 24 words (depending on the wallet) and to keep them safe somewhere and never put them online.
Sometimes it's not clear why you have to do this, or what these words are even for.
This blog will hopefully make that clear for you.
A seed phrase is a list of words that is generated from your private key, the way to think of it, is that it is your private key in a more accessible format. So anytime I mention 'seed phrase' or 'private key' in this blog I am actually talking about the same thing.
Here is what a private key looks like in its original form before it is turned into a seed phrase:
So what is a private key?
A private key gives you access to your Bitcoin on the Blockchain. Each Bitcoin wallet has its own private key. If I send some Bitcoin to you, they aren't sent into your wallet, they are sent to your wallet address on the Blockchain and your wallet simply gives you access to that Bitcoin via your private key.
If this is a bit confusing, just think of your private key as a 'house key' which unlocks your front door and in the same analogy the address of that house would be your public wallet address.
What this means is that if someone gets access to your key, more specifically if someone finds your seed phrase of 12 words, they can claim access to your Bitcoin and can steal it from you in seconds. This is why when you write down your seed phrase you must store it safely somewhere and ideally offline. If you put it online, there is a chance someone could hack your device and get access to it.
If you lose your phone with your wallet on it, your seed phrase is the only way you can be sure that you still have access to your Bitcoin. You simply just need to 're-import' your Bitcoin wallet via your seed-phrase through the same or a different wallet provider.
Why turn a private key into a seed phrase?
By turning that long line of numbers and letters into 12 random words, it is easier to display and write down without making mistakes. You may ask yourself if 12 random words is less secure then a string of numbers and letters?
Well, the BIP39 protocol used to turn the private key string into a seed phrase has a wordlist of 2048 words of choose from. So if the phrase contains only 12 random words, the number of possible combinations would be 2048¹² or the number 5 plus 39 zeros after it. That basically means it is virtually impossible to hack.

Hot dip galvanizing is also called hot dip galvanizing. It melts the zinc ingot at high temperature, puts some auxiliary materials into the galvanizing bath, and then immerses the metal components into the galvanizing bath, so that a layer of zinc is attached to the metal components. The advantage of hot-dip galvanizing is its strong anti-corrosion ability, good adhesion and hardness of galvanized layer.
Hot dip galvanizing is a physical treatment. Cold galvanizing is a chemical treatment, which belongs to electrochemical reaction. It only brushes a layer of zinc on the surface, so the zinc layer is easy to fall off. Hot-dip galvanizing is often used in construction.
Points for Attention in Application of Hot-dip Galvanized Pipe
Cold galvanizing is galvanizing, which only needs 10-50g/m2. Its corrosion resistance is much different from that of hot dip galvanizing. The quotation for galvanizing is relatively low.
Hot-dip galvanized pipe manufacturers are steel body in hot-dip conditions on the surface of galvanized, its adhesion is very strong, not easy to fall, hot-dip galvanized pipe of course also presents the phenomenon of rust, but in a long period of time can satisfy the technology, clean plea.
Points for Attention in Application of Hot-dip Galvanized Pipe
Difference of galvanized products: Hot-dip galvanized surface is not fine and bright, but the thickness of galvanized layer is tens of times that of cold-dip galvanized. The anti-corrosion function is also dozens of times that of galvanizing.
Hot-dip galvanizing emits less pollutants.
The main pollutant of hot-dip galvanizing is waste acid of pickling workpiece.
The pollutants of cold galvanizing mainly include waste acid of pickling workpiece, electroplating waste liquid, waste passivation liquid, etc.
Points for Attention in Application of Hot-dip Galvanized Pipe
The types and quantities of pollutants discharged by cold galvanizing exceed those by hot galvanizing.
Hot dip zinc standard: GB/T13912-92.
