State Gross Domestic Product (SGDP) Computation
- Details
- Hits: 11290
A. Overview
A key concern of Government in any economy is the determination of the country's total output of goods and services and related indicators. The methods used in their determination are captured in a system known as National Accounting. National Accounts provide both the actual measures of such macroeconomic indicators as output and income and a conceptual framework for relating the various indicators to one another. The accounts, in particular, relate output, income and spending at individual, corporate and government levels.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the basic measure of value of all goods and services produced within the borders of a country computed quarterly or yearly. Alternatively, it can be measured as a country's expenditure on all final goods and services consumed within its borders during a period, usually quarterly or annually as well as the incomes generated by production – e.g. the compensation employees receive and the operating surplus of companies.
Prior to 2013 fiscal year, the Nigerian GDP has been compiled at the national level on aggregative basis by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). In line with the Government resolve to deepen economic management at the sub-national level, the National Planning Commission (NPC) was mandated to commence the computation of GDP at the State level. The compilation of State GDP is therefore novel and is to ensure that GDP data is generated on State by State basis.
B. Objective of SGDP Computation Project
The relevance of statistics in general and GDP computation in particular to national development cannot be over-emphasized as the availability of timely and reliable statistics on sub-national levels is very essential for planning. State GDP (SGDP) is needed for effective M&E and for making complex evidence-based policy decisions in the state economies. It also helps in benchmarking States' economies; acts as a compass for investors in making investment decisions; shows sectoral drivers of the economic growth of a State and sectors that require intervention; engenders healthy competition among different States in the country; and promotes good governance.
C. Methodology
Uniform standards and methodology was adopted for the State Gross Domestic Product (SGDP) computation exercise and is aimed at:
- Revealing the structure and character of the economy of a particular State or region;
- Determining the key drivers of economic activities in the States; and
- Capturing States' contributions to national output, among others.
The process adopted for the computation of SGDP was inclusive and participatory and consistent with international best practice and the experiences of other countries that have done State/Regional GDP computation.
The focal point for the programme at the National Planning Commission is the Macroeconomic Analysis Department. The exercise is to be carried out in two phases, namely the pilot in seven States from the six geo-political zones and the FCT, while the second phase (general survey) will be carried out in the 36 States and FCT.
The major activities that have so far been undertaken for the 1st phase are:
(i) A stakeholder's workshop was held in September 2010 for the States;
(ii) Formal flag-off of the SGDP/sensitization in six States, one each from the six geo-political zones (Lagos, Anambra, Rivers, Niger, Kano and Gombe) in 2012;
(iii) Needs Assessment to ascertain the capacity of States Planning and Statistical Agencies in 12 pilot States of Kogi, Niger, Ekiti, Lagos, Anambra, Enugu, Gombe, Taraba, Kano, Sokoto, Cross River and Rivers conducted while the second phase in another 12 States is currently ongoing.
(iv) Stakeholder Validation session on the report on the 12 pilot States;
(v) Pilot survey in the seven States;
(vi) Analysis of the survey results;
(vii) Presentation of the result of the pilot States by SG (NBS) to the Directors of Statistics of pilot States in July 2013;
(viii) Presentation of results of pilot States to the National Steering Committee in August 2013; and
(ix) Formal presentation of the result to the Hon. Minister of National Planning in August 2013;
(x) Presentation of the results of the survey to the Executive Governors of Cross River and Niger States and their Executive Councils for validation; and
(xi) The presentation of the results in the remaining pilot States of Anambra, Kano, Gombe, Lagos and Rivers expected to be undertaken in due course.
The second phase has commenced with the headquarter level training of field officers, preparatory for the nation-wide survey.

General Details
Hi guys, I'm Elora and I've been singing for almost 20 years, beginning humbly at the dinner table, driving my brother mad, and most recently onstage in lead operatic roles and at Parliament House. I'm a third-year student of Music at the Australian National University, and can't wait to pursue a career in music and drama.
I truly just love to sing and having toiled under many singing teachers over the years, all I want to do is share with you the skills that will make you comfortable, confident and able to realise the potential of your unique and beautiful voice.
I'm open to teaching small groups, half-hour lessons or intense longer coaching sessions to prepare for auditions or concerts. Feel free to get in contact, and we can discuss timing and pricing.

(Update: Burger King SG has made this video private and is no longer publicly accessible.)
You know an ad campaign has gone terrible wrong when it needs explaining.
Burger King SG recently launched an interactive Youtube video re-enacting an incident in Singapore where a young man was film pushing an elderly woman on the bus. This video aimed to promote its flame grill chicken products.
Though the video has not reached viral status yet, comments have been against the video.
Commented on MC Trave on Facebook, "In regards to the advertisment of the Furious Man about to hit the elderly, i demand Burger King to take it down and issue an apology. The incident is not something you can just simply capitalise on to sell your food."
At the YouTube site, sgxpress95 wrote, "hi BK, on behalf of the people involved in the fight, i hope you do not release the videos as,they (including me) find it as offensive."
Burger King Singapore has since replied on its Facebook Page.
Wrote Burger King Singapore,
"The King would like to thank everyone for your feedback. Our recent re-enactment video is part of a bigger campaign idea of "Control your fire" which is in response to the increasing number of public outbursts in Singapore. Burger King Singapore believes that fire, when controlled, can lead to a better outcome (and of course, better flame-grilled burgers). The intention is purely focused on the positive redirection of the act itself and not at the expense of any particular individual. The King hopes that everyone can write in to suggest more ways on how to positively redirect fire."
(Spoiler alert) On clicking the three options on the Youtube interactive video, you will get some what Burger King Singapore consider as humourous responses to the incident.
However, what struck me was when you click onto the "Ignite your fire" option, this young man who is about to commit an act of violence is being decorated as a celebrity.
Really Burger King? You are celebrating bullying, especially against the elderly?
Is Burger King SG inciting violence against the elderly?Posted by Aaron Koh Labels: Advertising, social media

*Bear with me the 1st world problems, just for the sake of this post….I promise I won't do it again*
The Hollywood romantic winter we watch in movies is not really what we get at this end of the world. Sinking in Amman's tunnels is not cozy, and I have to say getting locked up for a week and a half waiting for the unprecedented, unexpected, and uninvited Jordanian snow to miraculously disappear, is not fun either.
Well if this winter will eat us up like last year (wait until January), we must get prepared. Instead of getting cranky in the middle of the horrible traffic that would at best end in a verbal fight or at worst end with at least one casualty, try listening to the playlist below. It is jazzy, energetic and might help you find the good in that ***** who just mud splashed you!
Let's just hope internet would survive the storm!
1. Les Pessants
I hope I'm as optimistic about Amman as the singer is about Paris who loves it in all seasons (1:28).
Well I love Amman… In May… that's it. Just because the whole universe has not yet invaded the country, and Amman's 5 bushes have not yet left.
2. Comes Love
"Comes a snowstorm get a little heat. But comes Love, nothing can be done". Well I'm not sure we can relate to this song.
Actually it's the opposite here. Preventing love is much easier than preventing a snowstorm; many things can be done when love happens. Interrogation, abuse, and honor killing, are only a few. But when a snowstorm comes, nothing can be done!
I think I've gone wrong with my target group.
3. Blue Angel
"Your Mama never told you how you're supposed to treat a girl"
Ok I'm back on track. Enjoy a lazy and unique wintry voice. (wait until 0:40)
4. Dance me to the end of Love
A beautiful song to end your hectic Ammani rainy day.
5. اقرأ الخبر- مسار إجباري
Winter might be a very good reason to leave Amman, but I keep remembering the city's Jasmine scent in Spring and I get weak!

As there was no specific tutorial to link to I decided to make a quick one for the Cherish Circle stitchers. And then I thought that you guys might like to share it too.
I have asked them to choose 4 prints (or throw in the odd solid) for each block in turquoise, green or blue, on a white background.
B = 2.5 x 1.5 inches
C = 4.5 x 4.5 inches
D = 4.5 x 2.5 inches
You will need to cut:
8 x A in white
8 x B in white
8 x B in colour (2 of each print)
1 x C in white
4 x D in white
4 x D in colour (1 in each print)
I am really sorry about these photos! I was doing this at night so the light wasn't very good and my iron had just broken - hence the very crumpled fabric!
I pieced the block in strips, but first I chain pieced together B's to B's, in row 1 and row 5, and B's to A's in the middle row. Hopefully you can see this in the photo above.
Then I pieced the 5 rows, and finally pieced these rows in to one block (top photo).
It should end up at 12.5 inches, however, despite using a 1/4 inch seam foot on my machine, my blocks always end up a wee bit smaller! The thing I like about this design is that this won't matter when I am piecing the blocks as the crosses are 'floating'. Perfect for a Bee block!

Singer/songwriter James Morrison is so terrified his mum will embarrass him at the Brit Awards, he's refusing to be seated near her.
The UNDISCOVERED singer is nominated for Best British Male Solo Artist, Best Single and Best British Breakthrough Act at the Valentine's Day (14FEB07) bash, and he's reluctantly agreed to take his parent GAIL along.
He says, "I can't say I won't let her come but I'll keep her off my table!"

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Park City Conservation Association, Park City, UT, USA
Working outside at the center is an eye opening experience. The number of people coming through is amazing. Many with questions on what can and can't be recycled. Some looking in the recycled wood area for just the right piece to finish their project or people getting ready to move and coming in for packing materials. The center is very organized, with simple directions for each job that needs to be taken care of making it easy for a volunteer to get right to work. Education and positive reinforcement given to people using the center is important to keep them informed about the current state of recycling.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I am a diligent recycler and the center provides a way for me to keep my trash can from visiting the curb more than once a month
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every month

Kumble to be elevated as Team India director, Dravid new head coach after Australia series: ReportSC-appointed CoA is planning a restructuring of Indian Cricket and Kumble is set to be elevated as team director while Rahul Dravid taking his place with the senior team.
Indian Cricket is soon to be restructured with head coach Anil Kumble set to be elevated as team director and Rahul Dravid taking his place with the senior team.
According to a report by The New Indian Express, the ongoing series against Australia could be Kumble's last as he is expected to take the new assignment by April 14.
Kumble met the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (COA) after the second Test match and has been asked to prepare a report covering the the national team, women's cricket as well as junior cricket.
"It was a very productive meeting and lasted for about 30 minutes. It was an important meeting considering the COA had not formally met with the players and support staff.
"Kumble was quite receptive to the ideas floated and has been asked to submit a detailed report covering senior, junior and women's cricket after the current series against Australia," PTI quoted a source as saying.
The former star Indian spinner was appointed as the head coach of Team India in June last year and has led the side to a 2-0 Test series victory in West Indies. Besides the team has also performed exceptional well in the domestic Test season, beating New Zealand (3-0), England (4-0), and Bangladesh (1-0) consecutively.
According to the reports, the COA led by former CAG Vinod Rai is planning a structure similar to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
Kumble has been given time to decide on the offer as it would require him to devote more time other than what he spends with the senior national team.
If Kumble agrees to take up the new role and decies against travelling with the team, Dravid will be elevated as the coach of the senior side from India A team.
One other reshuffle the CoA is planning is to disband the cricket advisory committee and instead appoint its members- Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Sourav Ganguly- to handle cricket operations of all BCCI teams.
The last job of the cricket advisory committee was to appoint Kubmle as the coach of national team.
Currently, MV Sridhar handles cricketing operations of the team and it is not clear whether he will continue in his role.

- Print off two copies of the same bingo card (you can find different versions on pinterest, make your own, or go to this website to generate randomized bingo cards of your own!
- Split up in to two teams (leaving one person to roam the store as the official)
- Take pictures on your phone without getting caught of the bingo space in action
- Whichever team gets a bingo first by getting to the official and proving the spaces in photos wins I'll leave it up to you to choose the prize, but anything with camo or cheap beer work great.
Here are some of the fabulous pictures you'll end up with!
You may also end up with text messages like this from "the official"
Note: Do not go to Walmart to play this game early in the day on a weekday, you will be left feeling disappointed that the only customers are all over the age of 70 and the outfits/purchases/laughs are not as entertaining! (Consider yourself warned)

perpetually missed.
"My dear sister,
This is day you left to be with the Lord. I still miss you and think of you constantly .
Love you
"Forever missed but always carrying my memories in my heart! When the gates swing open for me to sit at the King' s Throne, I'll look forward to seeing you again, Ella. Keep walking around in heaven with that beautiful smile. Rest in Heaven, my friend."
"Debi [Sis. Soul] and I thought of you on your birthday,but that is nothing new>we thought about you yesterday and days before that too. We think of you in silence and often shared our thoughts.All we have are memories and your picture in a frame. Many of your other friends express the same sentiments.your memory is a keepsake.From which we will never part.God has you in his arms and we have you in our hearts. You were a great friend and big sister. with a heart that gave unselfishly.What a gift you had to share. we all was so blessed by your present.We thank God that we were so fortunate. Yes gone too soon. amen"
"As I write this my eyes fill with tears. Thank you ma for EVERYTHING you taught me over the years. I remember the exact day that God blessed me with you, your smile, your wisdom, and my 4 amazing brothers Atiba, Tundy, Dana, and Moe! I have NOTHING but fond memories of 385 and the studio that I lived in while I lived with you. During that time you taught me how to be a man, you help me with all the tough love to transition into the man I am today. You accepted me, encouraged, me, and love me as only you can. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I remember the day you purchased your Mercedes benz, you told me to ALWAYS reach for better, always strive to be better. I thank you for your support and being at just about EVERY concert I sung at while I was singing with the gospel choirs I sung with. And I remember sing at the McDonalds gospel fest and when we won, and they opened the curtain to announce we had won, of all the thousands of people there, I saw you, and the look of love and pride you had on our face. Ive said goodbye to your body, but I still speak to your spirit as it does me! I love you and miss you and all the wisdom you've shared with me ive passed down to my children. Rest Ma! You've so earned your wings!"
"Ella, Happy 67th Birthday my Sista/Friend. Each time I hear this song,
Gone to soon, it tugs at my hear. I know you are rejoicing in heaven.
Until we meet again, RIP in our Lord's arms.
"Happy Birthday!!!! miss you.."
"Dear sister
I still miss you much."
"On the anniversary of you going to Heaven. You're perpetually missed
and mention all the time in conversation with us. Absent from the body but present with the Lord. We thank God for the precious time we all had. You were the best to all of us,making us all feel that we were the NUMBER 1 friend. All the time we were all your favorite.

My kids start to count down to Halloween in summer. As soon as they see the costumes and decor for Halloween out in the stores they are asking me, "How many more sleeps mom?" This excitement continues right up until the big night.
My kids are still small enough to really enjoy the Halloween season. I love to watch them and their excitement; it reminds me of my childhood and how excited my siblings and I would get up until the big day. The kids and I decorate the house after Thanksgiving and carve our pumpkins the day or two before Halloween. We have done all kinds in the past, from traditional faces to more complicated ones in the last few years.
|Our spooky Halloween window

|Allan Candies - Made in Canada and peanut-free!
My kids have tried these candies out and have approved 100%. I must admit, my husband and I have tried them out too. It is cool to see some of my old favorites like Bigfoots and Hot Lips come pre-wrapped making it easy to give them out on that fun evening.
I am happy to be able to share some of these Allan candies with the kiddies that will come to our house on Halloween evening. Of course, we will have a few other surprises in our goodie bags but they will definately contain several Allan candies in them!
How do you celebrate Halloween? Do you have any special traditions you would like to share with us? Please feel free to do so and
Happy Halloween!!

Cancun Travel Blog› entry 4 of 6 › view all entries
July 29th, 2008 – by: bebesilvers
After lunch we packed our stuff up and checked otu of the Hyatt.
The trip was disappointing to me. I have been to the Virgin islands and went snorkeling there and saw absolute beautiful untouched reefs with hundreds of fish. This was nothing like it. However, i have never driven a boat, and there is also the experience of flying across the aqua blue water with the sun beating down as the salt water sprays in your face which is an experience in itself.
Cheko offered to take us out to a nice dinner one night. We let him pick and he chose the Ritz Club Grill. Although very American, it was absolutely savory food. A very plush hotel (as we all know), the restaurant was the same. Service was impeccable from the time we walked in the door to the time we left, not a thing was out of place.
Since we were scheduled for a full day Chichen Itza trip on wednesday we headed back to the hotel so we would be able to make the 7am bus.

Seeking to Expand Criteria to Diagnose Alzheimer's
In order to work towards eventual treatments for Alzheimer's, even before dementia sets in, medical experts at the international Alzheimer's meeting this month proposed changing the disease's diagnostic criteria. "Over all, I think this is a giant step in the right direction," said Dr. P. Murali Doraiswamy, a psychiatry professor and Alzheimer's disease researcher at Duke University. "It moves us closer to the cause of the disease rather than just looking at symptoms."

text: The story of Remote Control is going on since I bought 1.2 Active 15 months back. I'm having my own parking place at my residence and normally I don't take my beauty to unknown place ::V. Another issue was Fiat's price tag of Rs. 10k something for an 'average' system, obviously delaying my decision. A couple of days back I got a call from Micro Technologies - asking if I'm looking for a security system for the car. Well the first question came to my mind was the 'famous warranty issue'. Other points were obviously the limitation of Active version. I got a series of calls to clear my doubts. 1. Warranty - They are using their own wiring harness and won't cut any wire. 2. Active Version - They can fit actuators etc so the remote/central lock works properly. Obviously I need to shell out money for that. MBB has got 4 variants - 2 entry levels don't have remote control :A - You can lock/unlock the car through SMS only. So if I want the remote then I've to go for 'Elite' model costing @ 12.6k. Installation + Actuators etc will take that figure to @ 16k. Obviously I was reluctant to spend that much. To my surprise I was told that they can 're-work' the deal for me. The approx total cost 'indicated' was @12k. :clap. I got the calls twice in the evening - may be for confirmation but I could attend as I was on my bike. May be they will call tomorrow. Now the questions are- a) Shall I go ahead with MBB? b) Has anyone of you have installed it in GP - Active? c) Is it a good deal? d) Shall I stick to Fiat's basic Security System (costing @ 10K) e) Since the system comes with 'SIM' card, what will be the monthly outgoing?


text: I've consolidated to only two handgun calibers. 9mm and .45 ACP. I want a .45 ACP handgun....Glock 21 Gen 4 or M&P 45 full-size? Why? What are your reasons? I plan on sending my slide to Mark Housel at L&M Precision, to have the RMR package done, so take that into consideration. Pros and Cons of each. I've yet to hear of any Gen 4 Glock 21 issues. I don't like the fact that the M&P requires you to take something and push that little lever down inside the magwell. I've heard of issues with rust on the M&Ps as well, however, whichever gun I buy, I'm having Mark Cerakote the entire slide after milling the cutout for the RMR.

India: A Portrait, By Patrick French
Along journey across India can be at once tiring, exhilarating, frustrating, inspiring, and thrilling.
As with the country, so with Patrick French's India: A Portrait. Here, French combines his lifelong passion, India, with his scholarly interest in the way that Sir VS Naipaul operates as a writer. Sir Vidia was, of course, the subject of French's absorbing biography in 2008.
Like Naipaul, French has an abiding interest in India. Like him, he talks to many people from all walks of life and listens to their stories. But unlike him, he shows empathy for what they have to say. More importantly, he does not mock them. Like Naipaul, he reads the country's history closely; unlike him, he doesn't bear the burden of post-colonial resentment or a sense of betrayal towards the country of his ancestors that failed to meet his expectations. India, for him, is not an area of darkness, nor a wounded civilisation. There are a million mutinies, but the portrait French offers is more complex.
India today is radically different from the time of its Independence in 1947, which is where French left off his lively account of the country's freedom struggle, Liberty or Death (1998). In the last decade alone India has defied every known cliché: it is no longer the caged tiger The Economist lamented, and its "Hindu Rate of Growth" is an object of envy, not derision. The staging of the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi showed that while India may still be anarchic, it not only functions (to use John Kenneth Galbraith's description of India as a functioning anarchy); the end result defies expectations.
Since the economic reforms of 1991, India has lifted more people out of poverty than at any time in its history while remaining a vigorous, if flawed democracy. Yet its increasing prosperity has not spread evenly.
A vast swathe of the economy remains unaffected by the new wealth, a phenomenon that unreconstructed Maoists have capitalised on. French meets them – both in the forests and at Delhi's Tihar jail - and shows their fossilised world-view, in which even a Western-educated Maoist can dismiss the millions of deaths under Mao as merely "some mistakes were made". To make an omelette, you have to break some eggs. French describes them, remaining unimpressed with the rhetoric.
He has divided his book into three parts: Rashtra (nation), Lakshmi (wealth), and Samaj (society). While that's a neat division, a multi-everything nation like India can be sub-divided in many different ways. The deeper question is: does it hold together and form a coherent narrative? That depends on the reader's expectations.
French's portrait is confusing for the reader in a hurry who wants a primer on India for his first flight to Delhi. But accept India's confusing complexities, and it is stirringly accurate. India is the place where all generalisations are true, but so are the exceptions; and those exceptions matter – they present the vital alternative that bucks the prevailing narrative. Each thesis has an antithesis, but India is the land of synthesis.
Take parliamentary democracy. The dominant narrative is of the Congress Party which ruled India uninterrupted for 30 years and returned to power after a short setback. But the last time a single party got an absolute majority was in 1984, in extraordinary circumstances (Indira Gandhi had been assassinated, and the nation rallied round the Congress). Coalitions are now the reality; India look less like a post-colonial state governed by the party that won Independence, more like a mature European nation with compromises and alliances - albeit with a lot more colour and, indeed, violence. So is the era of dynasty over, despite the dominance of the Nehru-Gandhi family?
Here, French offers a fascinating analysis, revealing a deeper truth. Breaking down the members of the current parliament, he shows that almost all political parties have MPs there because of family connections. The stark finding: all Congress MPs under 30 are the children of politicians. Other parties are culpable: the younger the MP, the greater the likelihood that he or she has inherited the seat, joining the family business. In future, this could mean a parliament entirely made up of children of lesser and greater gods.
With the assistance of local journalists and (who else?) a smart Indian software engineer, French has created a fascinating website with the raw data and offers statistical analysis of Indian MPs. The importance of this data for students of political science cannot be over-estimated – not because one out of six people in the world is an Indian, but because, as French notes, one out of every two people living in a democracy is an Indian.
Studying global democracy while ignoring India is a fundamentally weak analysis. French's database will go a long way in explaining who governs India to the world. He doesn't say that hereditary MPs are bad, nor that they should not stand for election. Rather, he shows how political success depends on who your parents are.
Next, consider the socal rigidity of caste. The conventional narrative is that Indians only marry within their religion and, then, within their caste. The anecdotal evidence is strong: take a look at any newspaper's matrimonial advertisements (or even wedding websites). More colourfully, French introduces us to an Indian who is able to predict accurately the caste of people he sees randomly in a public space. His record – three out of three right.
Yet French takes us to a low-profile Indian scientific research institute, and presents early, tentative but incontrovertible evidence that Indians have been mobile. They have intermarried for years, and caste-based rigidity is a relatively recent phenomenon. This evidence will not end centuries of oppression, nor necessarily change stubbornly-held views. Nor will it dismantle the culture of entitlements that prevails in the country. But if India ever manages to promote the scientific temper that Nehru wanted, then there is evidence to back the modernisers.
Finally, agriculture. The overriding narrative is that liberalisation has hurt farmers, with tens of thousands committing suicide as they have not been able to bear unsupportable debt. With more than half the people in India calling themselves farmers, and agriculture accounting for a diminishing share of India's gross domestic product, it would seem that farmers are doomed.
But the story is more complicated. While French does not talk about farmers' suicides, he introduces us to Dattu, a man from a socially disadvantaged and historically discriminated-against tribe. He has learned to grow fine grapes and is now a wine master, providing his crop to make Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc at a continuously improving Indian wine estate.
Dattu earns more than he had imagined; he is part of the globalised world that India has embraced; he has moved upward socially; and he has done this without touching a computer keyboard or working at a call centre and adopting a fake accent. He doesn't even speak English. And he is a prospering farmer.
That's the future; that's the real Indian revolution. There are many such stories in this book. Not all are heart-warming; not all are optimistic. The Indian reality, as always, is complex and nuanced. But the anarchy is no longer merely "functioning"; it is thriving.

GK: SINGS; He's smooth and he's cool, and quick with a gun,
A master of the boudoir.
A guy in a trenchcoat who gets the job done,
It's Guy.....Guy Noir.
SS: A dark night in a city that knows how to keep its secrets, but on the 12th floor of the Acme Building, one man is still trying to find the answers to life's persistent questions.....Guy Noir, Private Eye.
GK: It was a beautiful day in May, one of those warm sunny days when you suddenly realize how depressed you've been for the past six months. I was just about to head down to the deli and get myself a bottle of guava juice when (PHONE RING, PICKUP) Yeah, Guy Noir, Private Eye.
TK (ON PHONE): You a private eye?
GK: Yeah---
TK: You do surveillance?
GK: Right? what you need surveilled?
TK: I need you to go over to a family picnic and see if my dingbat cousin from Des Moines is there.
GK: I see. What does this cousin look like?
TK: He wears dumb clothes and he has a head like a pear and he stands around saying stupid things in a voice you can hear two blocks away.
GK: Okay---
TK: I need to know if he's there cause if he is, I'm not going.
GK: Okay. I'll go check and call me back in an hour. (MUSIC) And then I looked at myself in the mirror. It wasn't a picnic outfit I had on. White shirt and a blue tie with little figures that looked like streptococcus, and a twenty-year-old dark blue rayon and polyester-blend suit that belongs in the Museum of Petrochemical Fashion. I looked like a geography teacher. So I called up a local clothier.
SS (ON OTHER END): Good afternoon, Gary's Plaid Pants Warehouse. This is Norma, how may I help you, if such a thing is possible?
GK: Yeah, hi. The name is Noir, Guy Noir? And I'm looking for something I could wear to a picnic. You know. Something bright and summery.
SS: Well, plaid shorts are very popular this year.
GK: I was afraid of that.
SS: We have some wonderful new plaids this summer: Coral, Sangria, Seafoam ---
GK: This Seafoam---- what color is that, Norma?
SS: It's a pale green.
GK: That's what I was afraid of. Pale green on me---- it's not good--- I've worn pale green and people threw me down on the ground and tried to give me CPR.(POUNDING ON DOOR. TR MUFFLED YELLS: Hey! You big cheater! I know you're in there!) THIS CONTINUES UNDER.....
GK: Excuse me just a moment, Norma. There's somebody at the door. Be right back. (PUTS PHONE DOWN. FOOTSTEPS.) Who's there? I'm on the phone! Quit pounding on the door. (OPENS DOOR)
TR: Why you dirty no-good cheater (HE SWINGS. GK OOF. THEY STRUGGLE)---
GK: Who are you? what is this---
TR: Who am I! Why you---- (HE SWINGS. GK OOF. STRUGGLE)
GK: I think maybe you missed some school when they had the unit on manners--- you big --- (HE SWINGS. TR OOF. FALLS. GROANS) There. Let it be a lesson to you. No hitting. You try that again, I'll have to teach you some more. (SLAMS DOOR) (FOOTSTEPS. STOP. PICKS UP PHONE) There. Sorry, Miss----
SS (ON PHONE): Nelson. Norma Nelson.
GK: I don't think Coral or Seafoam is going to work, Miss Nelson. And Sangria is basically just burgundy, isn't it----
SS (ON PHONE): Yes, it is.
GK: That's what I thought. Guys who wear burgundy clothing tend to smoke cigarillos and drive Buick Electras, in my experience.
SS (ON PHONE): We have a nice red in the Madras shorts ---

SS (ON PHONE): I don't mean to pry, but what's the reason for that?
GK: My legs, Miss Nelson, are not what they once were. My knees resemble those of a camel, and I have irregular hair patterns that look as if I may have reached puberty near a nuclear power plant. (POUNDING ON DOOR. MUFFLED SHOUTS)

TR: That ain't me. That's the bomb.
GK: I buried my clothes in a landfill and went to the picnic in a turquoise T-shirt, hibiscus espadrilles, hot azalea socks and aquamarine pants and everybody left as I arrived except the guy with a head like a pear. He smelled about the same as I.
TR: Good potato salad, good sloppy Joes. Huh? Help yourself. Got plenty. Don't know where the other folks went to. Musta had another picnic to go to. No, I was just saying to my cousin, I got this big old rider mower with the 38-inch cutting blade, 35 horsepower, automatic drive, parasol, CD player, the works. It's a beauty. Love it. Mow the lawn every other day. Nothing to it. Where do you live?
GK: Live at the Acme Building. Should be able to move back in in about two weeks.
TR: You need a place to stay?
GK: Sure.
TR: Got plenty of room at my place.
GK: I can imagine.
SS: A dark night in a city that keeps its secrets, where one guy is still trying to find the answers...Guy Noir, Private Eye. (MUSIC OUT)

ASSERTION TRAINING HOW TO BE CL (Strategies for Mental Health)
Assertion techniques are not merely concerned with go-getting lifestyles, or with making a spirited defence against sexist or racist behaviour. They are a tool for everyday life, enabling individuals to enhance their personal lives and to be more effective both personally and professionally. "Assertion Training" explains techniques for achieving this goal. Drawing on illustrative examples and exercises, the contributors to this volume describe how to define goals, how to change negative thought patterns, how to value opinions, how to deal with rejection and criticism, and how to build self-esteem and confidence.

Mohun Bagan failed to get past ONGC and had to settle for a goalless draw in a fifth round I-League match at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi.
Both teams had their chances in the match but failed to convert any. The result took Mohun Bagan to seven points from five matches while ONGC move to 2 points from five matches.
ONGC, who won the All India Public Sector Football Tournament on Thursday and were playing their second match in consecutive days, begun in style. They were the better team in the first fifteen minutes.
They pushed the Kolkata outfit into their own half with Japanese recruit Yusa Katsumi and Jatin Bisht patrolling the midfield. Yusa with his sudden burst of speed and Jatin with his distribution spelt danger for Bagan.
A Yusa direct freekick from just outside the box which eventually hit the wall and a Jatin long-ranger which missed by a whisker could have spelt trouble for Bagan.
Bagan's first real chance came in the 31st minute when Oadafa's free-kick from the corner of the box narrowly missed the mark. Thereafter, Bagan slowly regrouped and came close to closing on two occasions - first a Denson Devdas header went straight to rival custodian Prosenjit Ghosh and then Odafa failed to head in Syed Rahim Nabi's cross from the right.
Changing over, Bagan further stepped up the momentum and it almost paid dividends. In the 51st minute, Odafa went past a horde of defenders but a diving Prosenjit palmed his effort.
The very next minute, Nabi, all in the clear failed to head in Snehasish Chakraborty centre. An advancing Ghosh also denied Nabi 66th minute.
Off the counter, Bagan survived a scare when S Mollick's diving header, addressed to the net found teammate Kailash Patil in the way.
In the 71st minute, Kailash Patil had the best chance to put ONGC in the lead but he couldn't direct his placement past Bagan goalkeeper Shilton Paul who gathered with ease.
Bagan's attacks were predictable as they were all directed to Odafa making Robin Gurung and Man-of-the-Match Hasan Adeola's task easier.
"The result proved Mohun Bagan are a one-man team. It's all about Odafa and Nabi," commented ONGC Coach Subrata Bhattacharya at the end of the match. "The day Odafa will score, Bagan will win; the day he won't, Bagan will fumble," he added.
However, Bagan Coach Mridul Banerjee dismissed the comments saying: "Mohun Bagan is about Odafa alone. It was bad luck. We had our chances but couldn't convert them."

This is the first of two rooms that bring together a selection of books, letters, photographs and other documentary materials to illustrate Gauguin's life, his reading and writing, the places where he worked and his relationships with poets, critics and other artists.
It looks at his family background, including his maternal grandmother Flora Tristan – a prominent socialist and feminist pioneer – and his guardian, the wealthy financier and art collector Gustave Arosa. Other sections focus on Brittany, both as a mythical location in the popular imagination, and as a significant stepping-stone in Gauguin's career. Gauguin's complex relationship with the Impressionists and with the poets and critics of the Symbolist movement are explored. This room culminates with the Universal Exhibition held in Paris in 1889, which Gauguin marked by mounting a group exhibition at the Volpini café. However, it was the ethnographic displays at the Esplanades des Invalides, with recreations of native life drawn from France's colonies around the world, which captured Gauguin's imagination and stimulated his dreams of a 'studio of the Tropics'. This is explored further in the second selection of documentary materials in Room 8, relating to Gauguin's life from 1889–1903.

In every pet owner's worst nightmare, the body of a reclusive British woman was "gnawed and eaten" by her starving cats for weeks after she died.
Janet Veal, 56, may have been dead for as long as three months when police in Ringwood found her body on the kitchen floor.
More from GlobalPost: Cats more lethal killers than once thought
A number of dead cats and a dead dog were also found throughout the house.
Neighbors raised the alarm after not seeing Veal for months and watching mail pile up at her door.
Officers used a ladder to get inside the home, and found a "distressing" scene when they entered, police said during an inquest hearing into Veal's death in Southampton Coroner's Court.
The floors upstairs were covered in garbage and it was clear the rooms had not been aired out in some time, according to testimony.
More from GlobalPost: Owning cats may increase chance of suicide in women
Downstairs, an officer discovered Veal's body and the numerous animal carcasses.
"This too was a distressing experience because it was clear that certain parts of Mrs Veal's body were missing and had, the officer formed the view, effectively been gnawed and eaten away by the animals.
"One can only imagine the difficulty with the scene the officer was having to deal with," Coroner Keith Wiseman said.
Decomposition made it difficult to determine exactly what killed Veal, but medical records showed a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

PTSD Treatment Breakthrough; SGB Efficacy Verified Through Brain Scans
The Global Post-Traumatic Stress Injury Foundation is excited to announce that a long-accepted anesthesiology procedure called stellate ganglion block (SGB) has been verified as an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) through positron emission tomography (PET) scans. SGB, pioneered for use in treating PTSD by our medical director Dr. Eugene Lipov, has been administered to more than 2200 patients thus far at seven military hospitals and shown a success rate greater than 70 percent.
Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) October 27, 2015
Six doctors presented a paper Friday at the American Society of Anesthesiologists meeting in San Diego, Calif., validating the effectiveness of Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB,) through visible evidence seen on Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans, in treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
SGB, which has been used to relieve migraines and chronic pain since the 1920s, involves a single injection into the sympathetic nerve tissue on the right side of a cervical vertebra. The use for SGB as a treatment for PTSD was pioneered by Dr. Eugene Lipov, a Chicago-based anesthesiologist (http://www.eugenelipovmd.com), who has been featured in a number of TV appearances about his findings (http://globalptsifoundation.org/videos).
Since his first publication in 2008, a number of researchers have reported positive results for SGB use as a PTSD treatment. To date, more than 2200 SGB shots have been administered at seven military hospitals with a success rate greater than 70 percent and no long-term complications. SGB is markedly more effective than the conventional, gold-standard therapies, such as psychotropic drugs, currently being used by doctors within the military and at the Veterans Administration (VA). Current approaches are effective less than 25 percent of the time, so new therapies are desperately needed. Lipov summarized the current state of treatment for PTSD in his recent article : http://www.omicsgroup.org/journals/with-warrelated-post-traumatic-stress-disorder-being-resistant-to-pharmaceuticals-is-it-time-to-give-stellate-ganglion-block-sgb-a-shot-2167-1222-S4-020.php?aid=61076
"With the objective evidence of SGB effectiveness for PTSD patients, combined with the large number of patients already treated with more than 70% success, we are hopeful this may finally lead to the procedure being made available for veterans and other PTSD sufferers," said Lipov.

A Graph-Based Approach for Clustering Analysis of Gene Expression Data by Using Topological Features
Computer Science and Information Engineering, World Congress on (2009)
Los Angeles, California USA
Mar. 31, 2009 to Apr. 2, 2009
pp: 559-563
DOI Bookmark: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/CSIE.2009.10
This paper proposed a graph-based clustering approach for gene expression data. The new method is based on regulatory network graph obtained from gene expression data. Clustering is performed based on the topological features of the graph which characterizes the regulatory relationships between genes, which is different from the conventional methods that simply group genes with similar gene expression patterns. The performance of the proposed method is assessed by real gene expression data clustering. The results clearly show that the proposed method can give higher accuracies in clustering recognition than the traditional approaches which are based on similarity between gene expression patterns.

A sex attacker is on the loose as police urgently probe a "serious" assault on a woman in the churchyard of the Crooked Spire.
The attack happened sometime between 12.30am and 12.50am on Saturday – leaving the well-known Chesterfield church taped off for most of the day as officers combed the area.
Police said the victim was a 32-year-old woman from Chesterfield.
They are hunting a suspect who is described as being a white man in his late teens or early 20s and at least 5ft 9ins maybe taller with dark brown hair. He spoke with a Chesterfield accent.
Officers said the assault appears to be an isolated incident and are urging witnesses to come forward.
They could not give details about the exact nature of the attack.
A spokesman for Derbyshire Constabulary said: "We're still making inquiries and treating this incident very seriously.
"There is CCTV from various sources in the town centre which we are looking at as part of our investigation.
"Officers would like to speak to anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident and saw any suspicious behaviour.
"In particular, officers are keen to speak with two possible witnesses who were in the churchyard at 12.44am and who may be able to assist the enquiry – one of them was on a mobile phone."
The spokesman added: "We would like to reassure people that indications suggest this to be an isolated incident and we would like to thank the public for their co-operation at this time.
"Police always advise people to take extra care when on a night out by staying with friends, never walking alone and booking a taxi home."
Anyone with information about the incident should call Chesterfield CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
• Chesterfield Borough Council said there are no plans to install CCTV in the churchyard of the Crooked Spire following the attack.
A council spokesman said the churchyard had not been identified as a "high priority area" for CCTV by Derbyshire Constabulary.
A police spokesman said the force welcomed the installation of CCTV at places like local businesses and churches in a bid to bolster security.
But they stressed the force is not necessarily calling for cameras to be installed at the Crooked Spire churchyard.
On the Derbyshire Times Facebook page, reader Mo Cummins said Saturday morning's attack was "appalling".
She added: "Out town is not the place it used to be."
Another reader, Jan Humar, commented: "It puts you off going out when you hear about these terrible incidents."

"We believe that unless Sunnie as well as her family clearly understand that God has made her female and her dress and behavior need to follow suit with her God-ordained indentity, that TCS is not the best place for her future education."
No kidding, it's not the best place for Sunnie's future education.
Like, I'd pull that child out of there yesterday.
Sunnie is an eight-year-old girl, but by her own admission and her grandmother's (Sunnie's legal guardian) own acknowledgement, Sunnie likes a lot of "boy stuff"---such as autographed baseballs and hunting knives, according to CBS-TV affiliate WDBJ.
But Sunnie also digs jewelry and stuffed animals, too.
"It's fun," Sunnie says of her varied interests---some of which don't seem to fit TCS' characterization of what a little girl should be.
Hence the letter, apparently quoting school policy, sent to Sunnie's grandmother, Doris Thompson.
The letter began ominously.
"You're probably aware that Timberlake Christian School is a religious, Bible believing institution providing education in a distinctly Christian environment," the letter started, and nothing good usually follows a sentence such as that in a letter sent home from school.
And, nothing good did.
|Sunnie Kahle
Why is it, that supposedly Christian entities---organizations based on ideals that are supposed to espouse and embrace inclusion rather than exclusion---seem to be the least tolerant?
And, from an educational standpoint, what happened to encouraging children to broaden their horizons and open up their worlds a little bit?
So an eight-year-old girl is sometimes confused for being a boy, as Sunnie told WDBJ. Is that the worst thing in the world?
For their part, school administrators told ABC 27 that they have not accused Sunnie of any wrongdoing; they just want the family to follow all guidelines set for students.
Good thing that the TCS folks are educators, because they certainly think we're all pretty stupid.
"Sunnie realizes she's a female but she wants to do boy things," Thompson told WDBJ.
How ironic that TCS is discouraging that, because it seems like a pretty damn good life lesson to me---that girls can do "boy things."
I mean, heaven forbid Sunnie grows up to be a CEO or a soldier or a fireman or something.
