ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigeria has overtaken South Africa as Africa's largest economy after a rebasing calculation nearly doubled its gross domestic product, data from the statistics office showed on Sunday.
GDP for 2013 in Africa's top oil producer totalled 80.3 trillion naira, or $509.9 billion (307.4 billion pounds), the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics said, an increase from the 42.3 trillion estimated before the rebasing.
The new figure shrank Nigeria's debt-to-GDP ratio to 11 percent for 2013, against 19 percent in 2012, statistics chief Yemi Kale told reporters in the capital of Abuja.
Most governments overhaul GDP calculations every few years to reflect changes in output and consumption, but Nigeria had not done so since 1990, so sectors such as e-commerce, mobile phones and its prolific "Nollywood" film industry had to be newly factored in to give a more accurate picture.
Growing attention from foreign investors was forcing Nigeria to more accurately calculate its statistics, including GDP, Kale said, adding that the base year would now be recalibrated every five years, in line with global norms.
Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, has been growing as a destination for foreign investors owing to the size of its consumer market and increasingly sophisticated capital markets.
But political risk as Nigeria approaches hotly contested elections in February next year remains a concern, as does a bloody insurgency waged by Islamist sect Boko Haram in the country's poor and underdeveloped northeast.
President Goodluck Jonathan's suspension in February of respected central bank chief Lamido Sanusi after he had publicly questioned massive oil revenue leakages from the state oil firm did not impress debt and equity investors, some of whom sold off holdings.

Hit the slopes my friends
... runs are really scary so the resort has something for all levels. Alternative activities include snow tubing, skating, snow mobile excursions and giant snowcat excursions to the top of the mountain. Learn to ski was on the bucket list so we signed up for the 3 full days of lessons and by the third day Jeff was tired but could ski using parallel turns on the blue slopes. Plus the hot tub at the end of each day was very welcome. Learn to ski = ...

Had my tank pumped on 12/18/13. I used rid-ex about every 5 weeks afterward. Got a septic smell in my house 8/25/2014. Pulled the lid on my tank and it was full of solids.

Gerardine Vargas was taking pictures in the desert, when she stumbled upon something strange; an isolated pile of thousands of tiny purple tinted spheres. They're wet, weird and nobody knows exactly what they are. But that didn't stop the local news team from going totally bananas. Cover your eyes, people. This video shows stuff getting poked with sticks.
Condor Ferries, a ferry service that runs between England and France, has brought a new twist to the safety announcement game: terrible rapping, awful graphics, and bad dancing. The video started showing this week on voyages between Poole and Channel Islands, and we can only hope the embarrassing video doesn't catch on.
Scientists in Britain spent two months studying the most attractive features of the human face, and then used a computer program to create composites of what apparently are the most beautiful man and woman in the world. What do you think? Would you swipe right on either of these faces?
The men's room of a restaurant in Taiyuan, China includes a display where three lingerie-clad mannequins stand behind glass in front of the urinals in the restroom. And the male customers at the restaurant are having a hard time with it, because the mannequins are staring directly at them. Would you be able to use this bathroom?
Customs officials at Bergamo Airport recently stopped an unnamed man trying to mail a giant prehistoric egg worth $125,000 to Los Angeles. When asked why he was trying to send a giant, 12,000 year-old "Elephant Bird" egg to the city of Angels he explained that it was a wedding gift. Customs officials aren't buying it and have apprehended him for trying to export a cultural item without permission, which could lead to jail time and a fine of up to $5,000.
A company has invented a new toy that can have an entire conversation with kids. It's called CogniToy, and it's a plastic dinosaur that is powered by IBM's super computer, Watson.

Lebanon's new Prime Minister makes a mockery of the Arabic language.
December 13, 2009 2:03 by kippreport
Kipp received a video clip this afternoon from a friend (take a bow, Miss M) that we thought you should see.
The newly elected Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri is the subject of a popular montage on YouTube, due to his poorly delivered speech last week to the Lebanese Parliament. The clip features Hariri butchering the Arabic language, interspersed with scenes of a popular Egyptian theater production from the 1980s.
The PM's Arabic was so poor that another politician offered to finish reading Hariri's speech for him.
3 Comments
Saad Hariri was never a politician material.. he's got nothing to impress the lebanese with.. those who support him do so cause he paid them well.. except for those hypocrits, the lebanse genta with significant grey material consider he's a nobody and a mafioso..
Mr Hariri was brought in to carry out an agenda that is dictated to him. He is not ashamed of his illiteracy, and neither should we. His worth is only proportionate to his wealth and the influence of his puppet masters.
Saad Al Hariri is Just a Saudi acting like lebanese..
Look at the way he ran after syria for a blessing..
Who cares .. no one will rule lebanon ever not even lebanese.

With a long and rich history, Epiphone is one of America's oldest and most revered instrument makers. Over 125 years ago, Anastasios Stathopoulo opened a small instrument factory in Smyrna, Turkey. Years later, his son Epaminondas, or Epi for short, took over the family business which had relocated to America. He renamed the company Epiphone, a combination of his name and 'phone', the Greek word for sound. For a while, the company produced exclusively banjos, which were the most popular instrument in America at the time. Then in 1928, Epiphone introduced its first line of acoustic guitars. Today, Epiphone offers affordable guitars and basses for every player in every genre, regardless of budget or ability.

Morningside was by far the best as compared to the other services we used!
We used two other services and an online service. Morningside Nannies had the most highly qualified candidates, one of whom we selected.
Morningside Nannies blew the others away!
I described the person I wanted and that's what you found for me. Thank you.
I am delighted with the outcome, and enjoyed the process.
I trust Morningside Nannies & their research into their nannies more than any of the other seven agencies we talked with. The checks are reliable and the quality of nannies was superb. The process of finding a nanny was handled quite professionally.
In a time crunch you provided me with two excellent applicants within hours!
Objective and professional with an obvious personal touch, small but important comments about each person.
Morningside Nannies was far more professional and focused than the other agencies. They listened to my request and responded promptly. I feel very fortunate to have such superb childcare and appreciate the luxury of returning to work with-out worry. Many thanks go to Morningside Nannies for that.
During our search for our current nanny I used several well-known services in Houston. I found that Morningside Nannies had the highest- quality applicants in town.

Library Journal
Tommy Lasorda was a kid who wasn't good enough to get playing time on his high school baseball team, yet he went on to play professional ball. He compiled a 107-57 record with the Los Angeles Dodgers's top minor-league club, but he couldn't eke out a single win in the majors. He later managed the Dodgers, winning almost 1600 games and two World Series, and was eventually voted into the Hall of Fame; however, after he gave up the helm, the team shunted his larger-than-life personality to the background for years. He decries bad manners, yet he complains when members of his granddaughter's youth-league team shake hands with their opponents after games. Although he was known for keeping his players happy, he once suggested that Steve Garvey settle a problem with teammate Don Sutton by slugging him. In short, Lasorda is a man of contradictions, but such men make good biographical material, and Los Angeles Timessportswriter Plaschke has crafted an entertaining study of the man who bleeds Dodger blue. Recommended for all public library baseball collections.<<br>—Jim Burns

What to do about plum aphid leaf curl?
My Mom's house has some fruit trees planted by the previous owner, one is a pretty big Santa Rosa plum and the first year it had one branch with lots of curly leaves. The next year it had even more curly leaves, I went to my favorite nursery to ask what to do and they said that it's plum aphids and the best thing is to just leave them alone and let the natural predators eat them. Two years later the Santa Rosa is heavily affected and I just noticed aphids on my new Elephant Heart plum as well, so I'm tired of waiting for natural predation to take effect and I started looking into other methods of control.
Everything I've found is geared towards commercial crops, and the pesticide info is pretty technical and intimidating. Any suggestions about backyard orchard techniques for plum aphid management? I would rather not use really nasty chemicals, but I have a sprayer and will break it out once the trees have gone dormant.
Thanks in advance!
Neem oil will suffocate them and it is pretty safe. I spot spray the infected areas until they are dripping wet. Check back every few days and respray if needed.
I keep my trees to 8' or less so that I can spray easily standing on the ground or using a short step stool. If it is a larger tree then it may be more difficult to treat.
Neem will work great as Tom has mentioned, and I would also first blast the trees with water, to knock off the aphids. If they have their probiscus inserted into the leaf, the blast of water usually will break off the probiscus, thus starving (and then killing) the aphid. Then, spray with Neem making sure you get the underside of the leaves. A couple of times of doing that should get rid of the aphids. Do you see any ladybugs or lacewings at all on your trees or in your yard?
I see lots of ladybugs around the yard, I'm not sure about lacewings but I think that there are plenty of insects. We have a mix of native wildflowers and grasses in the field and it seems to be a pretty good habitat for bugs of all kinds. I noticed some red ants on the Elephant Heart plum, I think they might be farming the aphids.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 39 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by nules Fabulous hotel for a stay in Tenerife. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in the Sheraton, Costa Adeje in December '11. It is just a gorgeous hotel with a really friendly feel thanks to the staff. It is also aesthetically beautiful obviously- I loved it the moment we arrived in the lobby. The only points I would make where I feel an improvement could be made would be re the following: 1. Pillows on bed are not good- need firmer pillows! 2. Gym:No access to the water dispenser which is out in the spa section and which was locked when I used the gym in the mornings (approx. 7.45 am)- I needed water, and there were only a couple of small bottles of water available! Also, floor mats not available 2 of the 5 mornings I was there and I needed the mat. 3. Our stay included use of the spa on one occasion only, and to be used during first 3 days. Why could we not use it any day of our 6 days, or indeed why not unlimited use as for pool etc? For a 5 star hotel, I thought this was very strange. 4. We would love to have dined in the hotel on one or two evenings, but frankly, the price for the buffet and the Japanese restaurant were far too high. Clearly, we were not alone in thinking this, as it appeared to us that these restaurants were very quiet. E38 per person for the evening buffet is just too expensive especially considering how inexpensive it was to eat outside of the hotel. What a shame. We met other Sheraton guests who felt the same, so we all dined elsewhere in Costa Adeje. Some information in the room stated that if we wished to have our towels changed any day that we should leave them in the bath. We didn't need our towels changed and thus did not leave them in the bath, yet received new towels every day. Lovely, but unnecessary. Sheets were changed the day before we left though I told maid there was no need! Only other thing I could say is that I would absolutely love to stay in this hotel again, but could not afford it ( we were lucky to have had Air Miles points to stay this time) so could accomodation costs be reduced?! Some really really lovely touches were the bottle of Cava sent to our room on our wedding anniversary (Dec. 13th) and some cake for my husband's birthday on Dec.10th- lovely surprises received with thanks! January 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by nick101 Lovely hotel and staff Just spent a lovely week in the Sheraton la Caleta October really is the ideal month to go weatherwise. The hotel is beautiful, staff freindly and helpful, the food (we sampled all resturants) and facilities are very good. My compliments to the manager and staff of this 5* paridise. Note its also in a wonderful/safe up market resort area that has been developed over the last 10 years. If you want more exicitement Playa Las Americas is only 1.45 Euros for a single from the nearby bus stop or 16 Euro in a taxi. Enjoy we did! October 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by FinnishFamily Nice stay We have visited this hotel multiple times with Family and have had fun and relax. Children's club has marvellous personnel, for example. Pool area is very nice and hotel is very clean. Small minus: During our last visit the quality of food served in Pool bar was not so good as previously. For example salads were very small compared to price. Still, we are going again in April. December 11, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by CJinUK Superb Hotel Experience This is an absolutely great hotel to stay in. The place is spotless the breakfast buffet is fantastic and the staff are great. The poolside areas are very well kept and there is an ample supply of towels and sun loungers. As an SPG platinum member I was given a large suite which was almost an apartment in it's own right, Everything about our week away at this hotel was faultless and the manager and his staff deserve all the praise coming their way. The pictures on the net do not do this hotel justice, it is very much better in real life. September 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Max55 Lovely winter retreat This was our second Xmas visit to this lovely quiet , friendly and well equipped hotel. The quality of the facilities and staff were excellent and on the whole we were very pleased with our 14 night stay. There has however been a round of cut backs which we felt were penny pinching , these included the removal of smoked salmon and fresh yogurt from the buffet menu and worst of all the removal of cushions on the pool sunbeds. All the staff were very helpful and eager to please January 18, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by wdbaberdeen Pricing review needed! Lovely hotel with beautiful grounds and geat facilities. Poolside staff very helpful. Excellent service and choices at breakfast. Thre were a couple of things that were disappinting though. Reception was unmanned on our arrival and we had to wait for quite a few minutes for someone to show up to check us in. First impressions count and this was not good. Our original room was in the basement with no view/sun from the balcony. Ended up paying quite a bit extra for a room with a view. The other issue was the ridiculous restaurant prices. Far too high with so many alternatives a short walk away. Never ate in the hotel at all due to this. January 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by LBM0411 I canot fault this hotel This is by far my new favourite Starwood property. The staff are professional and courteous, the facilities and location superb and the buffet breakfast delicious! We were upgraded to a Premium Terrace view with a huge terrace with sunbeds and a panoramic view of the ocean, which is worth paying a premium for even if you are not lucky enough to get an upgrade. There are some lovely restaurants in Caleta, which is a 15 minute walk and some good bars along the coast in the other direction towards Los Christianos, also within easy walking distance. This is our fourth time at this hotel within the last two years and I fully expect to be back for a long weekend again before the year is out. June 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by EllieJ Lovely hotel Just returned from a week's holiday in this lovely hotel. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food was of a very good standard with a good variety available in the evening buffet. We had free wifi in our room. Would highly recommend this hotel. April 18, 2013

Profiles for Community Officers
Sergeant Richard Payne
I currently lead the community team that covers the North of the Cotswolds, which stretches from Northleach to Weston-sub-Edge. I have been a Police Officer for 17 years and have previously worked in Cheltenham and Stroud in various roles. Throughout my service I have predominantly worked as a response officer, and then as a shift sergeant.
It's my role to ensure that we work with multi-agency partners and the community to reduce harm. We will deliver a service that promotes public confidence and provides reassurance to the community.
PCSO Fiona Walsh
I have just recently joined the team. I have previously worked as a receptionist for the Constabulary in both Gloucester and Stroud for the last three years and I am looking forward to the new challenges and opportunities presented in my new role.
Visibility advice
We have received a few reports recently of incidents involving joggers, cyclists and walkers being knocked by passing cars. This seems to be occurring on the darker country roads where there is little or no street lighting, although with the winter sun low in the sky this can happen at any time of the day or night.
Could we please ask that if you are on the roads either on foot or on a bicycle, you take a look at how visible you are to other road users. Make sure you are wearing high visibility clothing that is clean and the reflective strips are in good order. If you wear a back pack, put your reflective jacket over the top, rather than under it. Check the lights on your bicycle to make sure they are in good working order and bright/large enough to be seen. Bear in mind that any vehicles approaching you from behind may not be able to see one small rear light when there is a larger vehicle approaching them from the front with bigger, brighter lights. If you are walking or jogging on the road and you are aware of vehicles approaching in both directions, then consider moving on to the verge if there is one.
Vehicle drivers, please be aware that on the darker roads you may encounter walkers, cyclists or joggers and give them plenty of room when overtaking. If a vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction, then slow down and wait for it to pass you before attempting to overtake. Do not take the chance that you can pass safely before the other vehicle gets to you. If you become aware that you cannot see due to oncoming lights, then slow down and take the necessary precautions.
If as a car driver you find that you become involved in an incident then please stop at the scene. Ascertain if there are any injuries that require medical attention and if necessary, call an ambulance and report the incident to the police straight away.
Winter driving advice
As the temperatures have dropped, many of us are having to de-ice our cars before setting off to work or on the school-run. Remember not to leave vehicles unattended with the engine running while you wait for them to de-frost. Every winter, we get reports of vehicles being stolen from driveways or outside homes because they have been left insecure whilst the owner goes back inside the house to keep warm.
We would also like to remind you of some useful travel tips, so that you are prepared in case of icy roads, heavy snowfall or thick fog:
• Do not travel unless you really have to
• Check the weather/travel reports before setting off
• If going on a long journey, plan your route and let someone know which roads you will be travelling on and give yourself plenty of extra time
• Telephone a friend or relative when starting or finishing your journey so they know you are safe
• Keep a shovel in the boot of your car in case you do get stuck in snow and in extreme cases where you may be stuck for a number of hours make sure you have a travel blanket, a working torch (wind up ones are handy as you don't need batteries), a first aid kit, de-icing equipment, Wellington boots and a charged mobile phone. It is also handy to take a flask filled with a hot drink.
• In thick fog, visibility is poor, so make sure you have your lights and fog lamps on. If driving in a line of traffic and you can see the vehicle behind, turn off your rear fog lamps so they don't dazzle the driver behind you
Winter home security advice
Protect your home from burglars
As soon as the evenings get longer and darker, dwelling burglaries tend to increase. This is believed to be because there are more opportunities for criminals, since there are more obvious signs that houses are unoccupied.
Most house break-ins are opportunistic, so don't give thieves that opportunity. Analysis shows that most of the burglaries in our area occur between 2pm and 11pm, Thursday to Monday, although this does not mean they won't happen at other times. You can significantly reduce the chance of being burgled by taking a few simple precautions.
• A well-lit home gives the impression someone is in
• Use timer switches to turn lights on when you are out
• Save energy and money with low-energy light bulbs
• Lock windows and doors and keep gates and side entrances well secured
• Don't leave car keys and valuables near windows, doors or letterboxes, or leave them in obvious hiding places such as kitchen or hallway drawers
• Invest in external lighting
Depending on the time of year, burglars target specific items, such as stealing cash in November when this is more prevalent in victims' houses – ready to spend for Christmas celebrations.
In December offenders are targeting expensive clothing & footwear, cameras, iPod/mp3 players and cosmetics including aftershave & perfume.
These items may be sold on or being kept to use as gifts.

Merco Docks Help Town Celebrate Independence Day
Local dock builder donates temporary docks to support Independence Day festivities. The City of Wellsburg's courtesy docks are missing for the 2014 boating season after being deemed unsafe for public use and completely removed from the 12th street launch ramp area this past winter. The docks are typically used by the area's boaters for 4th of July festivities in Wellsburg, where boating is a large part of the local community. With no city docks, there would be no public water based commerce or other boating activity over the holidays. That's where Merco Marine, a local manufacturer of boat docks and dock building components and accessories, stepped in, giving the city 140' of loaner dock to temporarily use to facilitate the public's need for river access this Independence Day. The docks were loaned to the city completely free of charge, and several representatives from Merco were on sight to get the temporary courtesy docks in place safely and securely. The docks were manufactured last summer for the vintage hydroplane events held in New Martinsville, where Merco is a sponsor. mercoboatdocks.com

I'd think it make better sense to invest in the different weapon skills to improve their corresponding equip/draw speeds. A better Heavy Weapons skill will let you draw GEP guns and LAW's faster, etc.
But yes, the Combat Strength aug would make sense too by making an otherwise redundant aug much more useful for combat-focused playthroughs.

WMTC on 730 AM
Much history can be found in just WMTC's radio frequency. How did WMTC come to be on 730 AM?
Overcoming Obstacles
Even though money was being donated to build a radio station, this did not solve all of the problems with establishing WMTC.
The Establishment of WMTC
WMTC Mountain Gospel Radio was founded in 1948 as part of the Kentucky Mountain Holiness Association, but how was WMTC established? Whose idea was it to start a Christian radio station in the hills of Eastern Kentucky? This is the history of WMTC from the perspective of its founding manager Dr. Wilfred Fisher.
After graduating from Asbury seminary in 1939, Dr. Fisher and his wife Alice came to Kentucky Mountain Bible Institute where they were invited to come teach.

Project Prototyping: pro·to·type (prt-tp) n. 1. An original type, form, or instance that serves as a model on which later stages are based or judged. 2. An early, typical example. 3. Biology. A primitive or ancestral form or species. Project Prototypes was the subject at a series of round tables I was fortunate enough to moderate at the Game Developers Conference 2000. These round tables were run in a very open fashion, as a discussion on common practices among the attendees. What emerged was an involved discussion about many of the aspects of a project prototype and what the purpose of a prototype was. Early in all the discussions, we tried to define what a project prototype was. Unfortunately we did not have access to Dictionary.com or the answer would have been as handy as it was when writing this paper. Instead, we talked it out and came to two basic definitions. A project prototype can be an embodiment of the game vision or merely a functional testing framework. The two options are not exclusive and in fact a good prototype may fill both definitions. Once we had the definitions down the goals of a prototype came next. Prototypes can be created for a number of reasons and we were able to define four major goals for prototypes. The goals we defined were: 1. Communicating the game vision 2. Answering technical questions 3. Debugging design ideas 4. Establishing the production pipeline of the project Communicating the vision was the goal most people defined and the number of uses in this manner was quite large. Communicating the vision covers everything from showing someone visual examples of what the final product will look like to demonstrating a new interface idea in an interactive manner. We discussed using the prototype in a number of communicative roles, such as: 1. To focus the development team on a common set of goals 2. To sell the game concept to a publisher and secure funding 3. To show the marketing department to enhance their understanding of the game 4. To focus test the game concept 5. To display to the public for promotional purposes Focusing the development team was rarely mentioned, but I feel it deserves consideration. Many projects start with a group of highly creative people, each with his/her own amazing ideas on why this will be the best game ever. The prototype serves to bring all this creative energy into a workable idea. It forces the team to face many forms of limitations early, before work is already invested in content. The end result should be something everyone can point at and agree on as the vision of the game. Selling the concept was a fairly obvious use of the prototype as was the promotional use, as was communicating the concept of the game to the marketing people with the prototype. The idea of using the prototype as a focus testing tool emerged as a new role the prototype could fill, allowing the developer to test the concept before committing full resources to development. This usage was perhaps the most exciting, allowing not only the testing of minor features, but a sample of the public reaction to the game. The fourth suggestion was discussed in a heated manner for quite a while, with dissenting opinions on both sides, some felt the public should not be exposed to the game until it was almost completed, while others felt it was a valuable tool to capture early interest. Both arguments are valid so we moved on. Answering technical questions was another obvious use of a prototype and it was with this end in mind we discussed the various tools used for prototyping. Some of the obvious tools were game engines, 3D art packages and professional prototyping toolkits. Two less obvious tools used for prototyping were HTML and Pen and Paper gaming, the use of HTML was primarily for testing Gui design and flow while the pen and paper gaming covered a variety of issues, from role playing games to AI system card games. Debugging design ideas was often treated in the same manner as technical problems, using the same variety of tools mentioned above. Design ideas are wonderful things and many great ideas that seem completely bulletproof seem to fall apart when you try to implement them. Even implementing the ideas in a very simple manner often shows limitations in the design you never imagined. The idea of using a prototype to develop the production pipeline for the project was a new notion to many novice developers and brought a grin to the faces of veteran developers. The idea of a production pipeline is keyed towards larger projects, but is still applicable to smaller projects. The production pipeline is really just a workflow layout allowing people to interact with varied tools and still have the content appearing in the engine. Prototyping in this area is about testing and debugging the tools and the workflow for getting content into the game. This could be art, sound or any other content required. The discussion mainly centered on the art pipeline and we discussed most of our points in that context. At BioWare we have the various tasks required to get a 3D model into the game broken up among multiple people. This means there will be a number of persons with varied tools touching the content before it enters the game. Our pipeline not only involves the tool workflow, but also the personnel workflow through the project. As part of the discussion, I made the statement that: "when you license an engine for a game, the render engine is its least valuable element." I firmly believe that much of the value from licensing an engine is that someone else has suffered through the content integration procedure and has at least partially debugged the process already. As well, the tools are usually larger in scope than just getting "something on the screen" they address other important in-game issues such as collision detection and scene management. In conclusion prototyping is an important part of game development and can save you a great amount of time in production. If you skip the prototyping phase, you may still have to answer the same questions only it will be later in development and some content may have already been created in an invalid format. I would like to take this time to thank all the people who attended my roundtable and to say it was a great experience to get together with other developers and discuss game development.
