The next phase of the "Environmental Monitors on Lobster Traps" project (eMOLT) involves lobstermen deploying and reporting drifters in the Maine Coastal Current. A pilot study (to test the operation) is planned for the first weeks in June 2003 when approximately 18 units will be released near the 12650 loran line. The purpose of this experiment is to assess the logistics and feasibility of measuring surface drift patterns with the help of local lobstermen. The results of this preliminary deployment will be used to design and propose a much larger scale deployment to take place during the Summer of 2004 along the entire coast. The primary purpose of the project, in general, is to provide observations necessary for initializing and validating numerical circulation models. A suite of these models are currently under-development at various state, federal, and academic labs. The combination of temperature, salinity, and current-velocity data is needed to test and evaluate simulations. To learn more about the eMOLT project, visit http://www.emolt.org.
The purpose of this article, therefore, is to notify all lobstermen working in the area south and west of Vinalhaven next month (June 2003). Given a normal weather pattern, it is expected that at least some of the drifters will be advected along the coast to the vicinity of Mohegan during the month of June and, in the absence of any major wind events, be carried along to arrive off Casco Bay sometime in July. As we all know however, there is no such thing as "normal weather patterns" these days, so the units may end up in very different places. In fact, one of the main objectives is to document natural forces that may govern variability in the distribution of settled lobster larvae.
What is the protocol to follow if a lobstermen sights one of these units shown in the picture below? If the instrument is found washed up on the rocks, we ask that you take the unit home (if possible) and call us. We will have someone pick it up. If the instrument is found drifting free, we ask that you let it be and refer to the following protocol:If you happen to be close enough to one, you should be able to read an ID# associated with each unit without needing to pull the unit out of the water. Note that only the set of four orange spheres and a center pole (possibly a colored flag) will be visible on the surface. In a few cases the units will have antennae as they will be fitted with satellite link/electronics but in most cases the unit is constructed of PVC, styrofoam, cloth, and fiberglass rods. After making note of the ID# and position (loran or lat/lons), lobstermen are ask to report the fix (date, time, id, and position). As of this writing, there are four different options for reporting a fix:
Drifters will be coded so the individual sighting it should be able to determine its origin. Each drifter will have a 5-digit ID# "ABCDE" etched into the PVC and painted on the flag as follows:
We appreciate your effort in cooperating with us in this pilot study and hope that those of you who read this can pass the word along to other lobstermen in your area. The eMOLT project is an industry-based collaborative/scientific endeavor involving the Gulf of Maine Lobster Foundation. It has provided funds to all the the major associations such as MLA & DELA for the last three years and, depending partially on the success of next months pilot study, will be funded in the future. So, while there is no direct compensation to participating lobstermen, the industry benefits from your efforts.

Amplifier modeling
Amplifier modeling (also known as amp modeling or amp emulation) is the process of digitally emulating a physical amplifier such as a guitar amplifier. Amp modeling may appear as software, such as plugins for DAWs (Digital Audio Workstation) which may be aided by computer hardware accelerators, or may be part of a standalone device or amplifier. Amp modeling often seeks to recreate the sound of one or more specific models of vacuum tube amplifiers and sometimes also solid state amplifiers.
As part of a digital audio workstation, amp modeling may be applied to a guitar signal that was recorded "clean", in order to achieve the sound of an amplifier being used. This process has the advantage of being dynamic—the amplifier settings can be adjusted without forcing the musician to re-record the piece.
Standalone modeling devices such as the Line 6 POD digitize the input signal and use a DSP, a dedicated microprocessor, to process the signal with digital computation, attempting to achieve the sound of expensive professional amplifiers in a much less costly and more compact device. These modelers can be connected directly to a recording device or PA system without having to use a power section, speaker cabinet and microphone, however, there is an ongoing debate over the question of how accurately a modeler can recreate the sound of a real amplifier.[1] Most modelers generally also include a variety of effects apart from the amp emulations and some can be connected via USB for computer based recording.
Modeling amps such as the Peavey Vypyr, Roland Cube, Fender Mustang, and Line 6's Spider series are amplifiers that include a built-in modeling device. Some high-end modeling amps such as the Vox Valvetronix and the 60/120 watt versions of the Peavey Vypyr[2] combine the digital modeling process with actual vacuum tube amplification.
Analog modeling systems also exist, such as Tech 21's SansAmp line of products.

Who We Are
FMSA football club (was established in 2015 as a merger of some non affiliated soccer players and some members of the first mobile sports academy who wanted to pursue soccer as a career or profession. While its members are diverse and range from young children to seniors, all have a passion for soccer and want to support its growth in our Zimbabwe community.
The Club is run by volunteers who take leadership from the Executive Committee. Our mission is to transmit the passion of the game to the community by promoting soccer as a lifestyle. FMSA UMGUZA is dedicated to making soccer accessible to all children, especially those from low income families who would not be able to participate otherwise.
To make the Zimbabwean society to embrace and passionately support the sport of soccer.
We seek to generate funding for soccer programs in the community that are accessible to all people regardless of their financial situation. Through these programs we will enhance the level of play in the community and instill a passion for the game in our players.
To raise enough money to establish and maintain our soccer club house league and player development. To educate parents in how to play the game and coach their children in the FMSA Soccer League and seniors graduating to ZIFA and other associated partners or leagues. To produce players who are confident, passionate and highly skilled regardless of their Social – Economic Background.

OH YEA!! Size 6 pair of jeans on my bootie today! The first time that has happened since I was an early teenager. I don't recall wearing a 6 but I am certain I did at some point in my junior high years. What a GREAT feeling this is.
A friend had given me these jeans almost a year ago b/c they were too big for her and I have tried them on several times between then and now and they wouldn't even button a year ago and then they have slowly been getting close as the months went on and TODAY I am finally able to wear them out of the house and they fit perfectly.
I have a busy weekend planned with getting clothes ready for a consignment sale, a RAZORBACK basketball game, church, food prep and EXERCISE!!! Looking forward to the weekend though as always.
Have a good one!

Adoption Affiliates of South Florida strives to make your home study an interactive and informative experience. As adoption specialists, we have extensive experience with both domestic and international adoptions. Our home study reports satisfy the requirements of the Immigration and Naturalization Services, the State of Florida and specific countries.
It is usually more cost effective to have your home study conducted by an independent licensed clinical social worker. In cases requiring an agency home study, we can provide this service through our affiliations with Florida licensed child placing agencies.
A home study consists of meeting with a licensed clinical social worker for the purpose of determining the ability of an individual or couple to parent a child through adoption. At least one of the visits will take place in your home. You will be asked to share information about your personal background, education, employment, values, lifestyle and marital relationship if you are married. Your social worker will discuss with you your ideas about parenting, experiences with children and your motivation and feelings about adoption.
A full home study report will be prepared following completion of the interviews and submission of required documents. Your social worker will advise you about the specific documents required for your home study.
Adoption is both a process and a unique experience. We are here to help prepare you for your role as adoptive parents by providing personal support, resource materials and information about local support groups for prospective parents.
We will be pleased to discuss any questions and concerns you may have and look forward to meeting with you.

from bottle import route, run, debug, error, request, template
def login():
return template('templates/login')
@route('/home', method='POST')
@route('/home/', method='POST')
def welocme():

if data:

return template('templates/login')
return template('templates/login')
My requirement is:
I will get a login and welcome page on same url. Login page has only one password field.
My problem:
If I get login and go to welcome page again on refreshing, it send me to login page. But ideally it should be on the welcome page only.
def error404(error):
return 'http://google.com'
My second problem: I want to redirect on a particular url on 404.
If the user goes to the "/home" page, don't you want to check to see if they're logged in before showing them the login screen? It appears like you assume they're not already logged in if the HTTP method is not POST.
I don't know much about your framework, but I assume if the login is successful you should set a cookie, and then you should check the cookie for HTTP GETs to see if the user is authenticated.
Your second question is answered here.
You might also want to take a look at Beaker's cookie sessions and use that to keep your application's state between requests.
If I understand the question correctly, the only way to get to render the welcome template is via POST.
You could change this so that GET requests check whether someone is logged in. If that fails, then redirect them to the login page.

Ollantaytambo - top of La Malaga
This part of the map shows the climb up from just outside Ollantaytambo to the top of the La Malaga pass. This took around 1 hour riding a Honda NSX400 with a pillion passenger. Zoom into the map to see the detail of the road. I counted 45 hairpin bends, but there are many other corners too! The start is at the bottom and the yellow marker shows the summit.

There are a few tride and true basics that can help you establish your presence as an artist who is serious about their work.
1. Presentation - How do you present yourself to the world when you cannot do it in person? This is where your website, business cards, portfolio, bio, twitter, facebook, and previous patrons enter the picture. All of these and more make up the presence of yourself and your work when you are not there to represent yourself. You cannot be everywhere at once, and you never know where someone might hear about you and your work. Put your best foot forward and make sure you've established these basics so that you have yourself covered. More to come on presentation in another post. Don't discount the importance of this---I can't tell you how many times I've heard about artists that do not have business cards to share, or the materials they are handing out are poorly made.
2. Create New Work - Always create new work, even if it is just for yourself to expand your creativity and your expression of the world. As an artist it is important to constantly evolve to keep your work fresh and to expand your portfolio. This will freshen your portfolio (presentation), breathe excitement into your passion for your craft (valuing your art), and give you the opportunity to intelligently discuss your current direction as an artist (presentation and networking). Most importantly, the world needs art and creating it is your contribution to improving the world around you.
3. Valuing Your Art - This has less to do with pricing your work as it does how you conduct yourself and the respect you give your finished pieces. If you believe in your work then find an avenue to show/exhibit your work. Make sure you treat the art with the utmost respect. Finish the sides of your paintings, present your photographs in an interesting and well designed way, use quality materials, and go big or go home. What I mean by that is, if you are submitting your work for review make sure you follow all of the instructions to the letter. If two artists each submit pieces for a juried show, and one has followed the submission instructions to the letter and the other artist drops their work off and it isn't even ready-to-hang in a gallery... well the latter says that you don't value your work, whether that was the message intended or not. Your work should be professional, take well lit photos, and create quailty. Your work is the culmination of your creative energy, hardwork, and time, value it appropriately.
4. Network with Artists - Get to know other artists. It is important to belong to a community of creative people. You may have experiences and knowledge that can contribute to an improved experience of others within that community. You might also benefit from their expertise as well. There is power in numbers which means a community may mean additional exhibit opportunities with increased exposure through the group's combined connections. But most importantly, you'll form amazing friendships. I've met amazing artists through joining local groups and attending workshops out of town. You never know where you might meet another creative like-minded individual who will become a great friend. Without friends to share it with, life is pretty dull. Friendships enrich our experience and widen our perspective on the world.
5. Give Back - Charity is important to the global community as well as our creative energy. Find a cause that is important to you and use your creative energy and talents to give back. You'll want to do your research to make sure that you are contributing to a legitimate cause. This tip isn't directly related but is one of the most important. Part of establishing your identity as an artist is knowing what you stand for and feeling confident in that knowledge. Whether it is helping someone who is local, rescuing animals, or a specific charity, giving back is a positive way to use your talent to help improve the lives of others and to create a better world for everyone.
"Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value." -Albert Einstein
Be authentic. From a personal standpoint my biggest belief in life is that it is most important to be authentic to who you are and to live an authentic life. The real person behind the artist is always more interesting than a manufactured identity. Share your work and be inventive!

Interacting with a pet helps a child's social, emotional and cognitive development. Even if a walking stick insect is not the first choice of children who are fond of animals, this little girl enjoys playing with hers. Parents may like the fact that a stick insect requires very little caring, food and maintenance.

Gender roles often become apparent when children are playing. Here a boy is operating an excavator and the girls are baking cakes in a sandbox in the garden. Playing together helps children develop a sense of identity as well as social skills like collaboration and understanding the feelings of others.
Photo 4 of 12
Sibling rivalry seems to be inevitable in all families with more than one child, but as they grow older, siblings get on better and better with each other. The younger child looks up to and admires an older sibling, who in turn takes pride in helping a smaller sister or brother. Playing together is a good way of bonding.
Photo 6 of 12
Outdoor activities are important for children. Here is a happy girl jumping on a trampoline. In addition to being fun, this is an activity that improves body control and coordination. Trampolining is also a good exercise to improve muscles, heart rate, flexibility, joint and tendon functions, etc.

Parents often find themselves in a dilemma between helping their children become technology-savvy and keeping them safe from internet harm.

Children enjoy role play. Often the real thing is better than, for example, a play kitchen. Being able to help mum and dad gives the child better self-esteem in addition to improving motor skills and understanding of concepts such as hot/cold, wet/dry, deep/shallow, floating/sinking, etc.

Play by your own rules...
EA's news on some of the new features coming to FIFA 19 has made everyone forget about previously iron clad wish list items like indoor footy or some other FIFA Street-style elements.
Those free-flowing, customisable battles from Street? We're getting them in 19, only they're going to take place on a full-sized 11-a-side pitch. If that doesn't get your juices flowing after years of monotony with FIFA's offline exhibition mode, then nothing will. Hey, at least EA are trying to make things more fun for those who enjoy playing with pals.
It could be wise to reserve proper judgement until FIFA 19 is actually on the shelves, but this is all very exciting, and the teases of what's changing in Career Mode are almost too much to bear. Although the mode will play out largely the same as before, there's (again) more customisation and greater immersion coming to a feature that sorely needs it.
Add to that intuitive alterations to how matches promise to play out, a Football Manager-like attention to stats and European football's biggest club competitions, and FIFA 19 could be the game of your dreams.
Start getting hyped...

One of the things I loved about the deli meal that we purchased is that Coca-Cola at Walmart has teamed up with The Salvation Army! In November and December, each time you purchase a prepared meal with Coca-Cola through the Walmart Deli, they will provide a meal to a family in need through The Salvation Army. Isn't that amazing?! This time of the year is typically spent thinking about making your Christmas wish list and planning the food you are cooking for Thanksgiving, but giving is also just as, if not more important! Every family deserves to be able to enjoy the holidays together with a warm meal & that is what I intend to make happen, but I need your help!!
Coca-Cola Bowling Pin Tutorial
What you need:
– A six pack of Coca-Cola, or six 2 liter bottles.
– Sponge brushes.
– White, orange and black paint.
– A ball to hit the pins (we used a bocce ball)
Step 1: Remove all labels on your bottles.
Step 2: Paint 3 of the bottles black and 3 bottles white. I like taking a sponge brush to dab the white on to make it look more like snow.
Wait until everything is dry to continue!
Step 3: On each black bottle, paint an oval for the penguins belly.
Step 4: On each black bottle, paint two white dots for eyes.
Step 5: Paint the beak and the feet orange. When everything is dry, finish your eyes by adding a black dot.
Step 6: For the snowman, you are going to use the corner of the sponge brush to make medium sized dots for the buttons.
Step 7: Then, take the same corner to make the smiling mouth!!
Step 8: Dip your sponge brush in the paint again and use the corner of the brush to make the black eyes.
Step 9: To make the carrot nose, take the bottom edge of the brush and press very lightly to make a line.
Step 10: When everything is dry, you can add blush to your snowman if you wish!!

Ojmjakon is a village located in the Republic Jakutija in Russia. Although the name of this village means "water does not freeze", because of the hot springs located nearby, Ojmjakon is declared as the coldest village on Earth. In this village the average temperature is -51 ° C in January and temperature of -71 ° C in February, in 2013.
Living in Ojmjakon is not easy or simple and comes with a package of some interesting and challenging additions. And do not be surprised if the glasses you wear stick to your face or the battery of your flashlight will spend in short time. Don't expect network for your mobile phones here, and even if it exists, then the battery of your phones would not endure the cold. Among other things, if you don't have garage with heating where you can leave your car, then you have to leave it turned on during the entire day.
The season for planting and growing any vegetables is quite short, so instead of vegetables and fruits, people who live in Ojmjakon mostly feed with fish, meat of reindeers or horses and milk of animals from the farms. Although the lack of vitamins exists in fruits and vegetables, these people do not have any problems with nutrition.
In Ojmjakon you can see many unique houses and their improvisations. Currently here are living around 500 people, who purchase the needed supplies from a single store in the village. Also, there is only one gas station. The clothes that can keep you warm from too low temperatures are Ojmjakon furry coats and boots of reindeer that cost up to 300 euros.
Even though Ojmjakon is known for incredibly cold winters, its surroundings have beautiful nature and it is popular as a summer and winter destination for people from all over the world. Many companies during the summer and winter period, offer tours through amazing nature that surrounds Ojmjakon.

NEW YORK (CNS) — Against all expectations, Walt Disney took a theme park ride, "Pirates of the Caribbean," and turned it into a blockbuster film franchise.
Now the studio has similar hopes for an entire theme park area in "Tomorrowland."
The result? Disney has done it again. "Tomorrowland" is a delightful science-fiction film and great fun for the entire family.
Directed by Brad Bird ("The Incredibles"), who co-wrote the screenplay with Damon Lindelof (TV's "Lost"), "Tomorrowland" is bursting with optimism and enthusiasm. Its hopeful view of the future is a refreshing contrast to the depressing dystopian vision that has dominated Hollywood films of late.
The film borrows the name but little else from the futuristic-themed section of Disneyland and other Disney parks. Instead, there's a meticulous recreation of the 1964 World's Fair in New York, which was a showcase of future ideas and innovations.
There Disney created the "It's a Small World" ride to promote global harmony. In the film, it serves as the gateway to the gleaming utopia that exists, "Twilight Zone"-like, in another dimension.
Like Alice falling down the rabbit hole, a whiz-kid boy inventor, Frank (Thomas Robinson), takes a detour on the ride into Tomorrowland.
He's lured there by a mysterious girl, Athena (Raffey Cassidy). Her mission is to recruit the best and brightest talent on Earth to learn from a place of peace and promise.
Fast-forward 40 years, and something has gone awry. Earth is fraught with problems, including war and natural disasters. Despair fills the air, and the future is far from bright.
In school, Casey (Britt Robertson) is frustrated by all the gloom and doom. "I get things are bad," she tells her teacher. "What are we doing to fix it?"
Casey is a dreamer, inspired by her father, Eddie (Tim McGraw), a NASA engineer. But even NASA is being dismantled, along with Casey's dream of reaching the stars.
Before you can say "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah," Athena reappears, looking none the worse for wear, for she is actually a sophisticated (and ageless) robot (mirroring Disney's skill with animatronics). She recruits Casey for a special mission: to save Tomorrowland. The city has fallen under the spell of a coldhearted bureaucrat called Nix (Hugh Laurie), who is responsible for wreaking havoc on earth.
Why Casey is the savior is anyone's guess. With Athena in tow, she looks up Frank, who has aged into the dashing George Clooney. Twenty years ago, Frank was banished from Tomorrowland for threatening to expose the conspiracy.
"Tomorrowland" morphs into a buddy movie as man, girl and robot race against time to, literally, save the future.
The action sequences in the film have a cartoonish quality, but the ray guns and decapitations (of robots) may upset the younger set. Others will be equally amused and enchanted.
In the end, the film takes a cue from a Disney anthem composed for the World's Fair: "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow."
The film contains cartoonish but bloodless action sequences and a few mild oaths. The Catholic News Service classification is A-II — adults and adolescents. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG — parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children.

China Automobile Maintenance Industry Report, 2018-2022 - Concepts, Analysis, Competition, Suppliers, Raw Material Price & Forecasts
Jul 24, 2018, 12:15 ET
DUBLIN, July 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
The "Research Report on China's Automobile Maintenance Industry, 2018-2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
China's auto industry has been growing rapidly since China joined the WTO. Since 2009, China has ranked first in automobile production and sales volume in the world for nine consecutive years. China's automobile penetration has also increased at a rate of more than 10% every year.
At the end of 2017, China's automobile penetration was 217 million, ranking second in the world. Automobile maintenance is a promising industry arising from the increase in automobile penetration in China. Unlike automobile repair, automobile maintenance includes daily automobile maintenance as well as light maintenance services such as additional maintenance, automobile accessories, automobile beauty, quick repair and automobile modification.
According to the report, the profit of automobile aftermarket only accounts for 20% of that of China's automobile industry chain and is much lower than that in developed countries. In 2017, the market size of China's automobile maintenance industry reached CNY 889.2 billion, representing a CAGR of 27.3% from 2013 to 2017. The market grew rapidly.
The concentration rate is low in China's automobile maintenance industry with the standardization of services and product quality. Traditional auto manufacturers, auto distributors, and auto accessories manufacturers are developing automobile maintenance in order to deepen the industry chain by brand awareness and store coverage. In addition, the broad industry space and great policy support have spawned some independent third-party maintenance suppliers which win a large number of users by accurate market positioning, alternative maintenance services and user-friendly prices. Younger consumers and diversified demand have led to a mass of O2O automobile maintenance suppliers such as Tuhu.cn, Qccr.com and Chexiang.com. They have become the new powers that dominate the development of China's automobile maintenance industry because of easy and fast services and transparent prices.
It is estimated that the market size will exceed 1.7 trillion in 2022, and the CAGR will exceed 14% from 2018 to 2022. In the coming years, China's automobile maintenance industry will have a good prospect with in-depth industry development, more market players, lower maintenance costs, stronger overall competitiveness based on chain operation, higher automobile penetration and older average age of vehicles.
Key Topics Covered:
1 Relevant Concepts of Automobile Maintenance Industry
2 Analysis on Automobile Maintenance Industry in China
3 Analysis on Competition in China's Automobile Maintenance Industry

Endoscopic injection of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid safe, effective in high-grade vesicoureteral reflux
A recent study has shown the efficiency and safety of endoscopic injection of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid as long-term treatment for grade IV and V vesicoureteral reflux. Moreover, it can easily be repeated in patients with treatment failure with a high subsequent resolution rate.
Overall, there was a 69.5-percent resolution rate after the first endoscopic injection (70.4 percent and 61.9 percent of grade IV and V cases, respectively). Reflux resolved in 259 (20.1 percent) and 133 (10.4 percent) patients after a second and third injection, respectively.
Patients aged <1 year and those with renal scarring were at higher odds of persistent reflux after initial treatment. There were no significant postoperative complications, and no patient needed ureteral reimplantation.
Febrile urinary tract infection occurred in 43 children (5.1 percent) after reflux resolution, including 24 (55.8 percent) during the first year, 15 (34.9 percent) during the second year and four (9.3 percent) during year 3 or later. Of these, six had reflux recurrence and eight had neocontralateral grade III reflux, which was resolved with a single endoscopic injection of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid.
The study included 518 girls and 333 boys (median age 2.3 years; range, 2 months to 13.7 years) who underwent endoscopic correction of high-grade vesicoureteral reflux using dextranomer/hyaluronic acid. Reflux was unilateral and bilateral in 415 and 436 patients, respectively, comprising 1,287 refluxing units. Reflux was grade IV and V in 1,153 (89.6 percent) and 134 (10.4 percent) ureters, respectively.
Renal scarring was identified in 317 patients (37.3 percent) using 99mtechnetium-dimercaptosuccinic acid scintigraphy. Follow-up ultrasound and voiding cystourethrogram were conducted 3 months after intervention and renal ultrasound yearly afterwards. Median follow-up was 8.5 years (range, 6 months to 16 years).

Despite the prevailing insecurity, Nigeria's high economic growth will be sustained between two and three years, an economist has said.
Head of Research at Standard Chartered Bank, Razia Khan, said despite the rebasing of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth does not appear to have slowed significantly.
The Nigerian Bureau of Statistics data suggests that the economy grew by 5.09 per cent, 6.66 per cent and 7.41 per cent in 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, on a rebased basis.
Khan said the authorities expect 6.75 per cent real GDP growth in 2014, and there is a chance that growth will be even stronger than this. "Agriculture is expected to contribute 22 per cent growth to the GDP in 2013; improved power supply should boost manufacturing to seven per cent of GDP), and activity in the trade sector should remain robust. Construction will remain strong, while the share of oil refining in GDP is set to grow," she said.
Khan said Nigeria has passed a conservative budget for 2014, but anticipated off-budget spending ahead of the election should help to lift consumption.
"Longer-term, with a larger GDP base, Nigeria's GDP growth rate may slow. Initially, however, we expect that the exercise of capturing a wider range of activities in different sectors will offset any large base effects. Sample frames are still being extended ahead of a 2016 rebasing, and will be enhanced by new census data and a new 'Harmonised Nigeria Living Standards Survey'," she said.
Khan however said more meaningful structural reform will be needed to sustain healthy growth rates. "The question for Nigeria post-rebasing is not so much whether it will still have high growth rates as demographics will determine this to some extent; but whether it can truly move beyond being an 'allocation' – or rentier – economy, to becoming more of a 'production' economy," she hinted.
She explained that while the foreign exchange rate has been relatively stable to date, helped by the early June reweighting of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) frontier equities index (which increased Nigeria's weight to 19 per cent), achieving continued forex stability amid easier liquidity and falling foreign exchange reserves will be a challenge.
"We forecast inflation back in double digits by year-end, suggesting that further policy tightening may be needed," she said.
Khan said prior to GDP rebasing, Nigeria had weak revenue mobilisation ratios. Post-rebasing, they are weaker still, with federation oil revenue accounting for nine per cent of GDP, and non-oil revenue for four per cent of GDP, according to our calculations. This, she said, leaves Nigeria with among the weakest revenue mobilisation ratios of Sub-Saharan Africa peers.
Having identified new economic activity, the authorities are likely to intensify efforts to raise tax revenue from these sectors. Post-rebasing, Nigeria's debt-to-GDP falls to only 11 per cent, from an already low 19 per cent. "While some commentators have suggested that Nigeria may be able to increase its borrowing as a consequence, we think that debt service capacity will drive any new borrowing decisions. A continued effort towards boosting transparency is important for Nigeria to maintain investor confidence," she said.

A local charity has benefitted following a kind gesture from a bank employee from Ballyclare.
Guide Dogs NI received a boost after Danske Bank employee, Sharon Wylie, applied for a grant of £480 from the bank to aid the charity.
Sharon, who has worked for Danske Bank for 20 years, successfully applied for the award via the bank's staff grants scheme.
Guide Dogs NI supports the 18,000 people who are registered blind or partially sighted in Northern Ireland by helping them to live a more independent life. From birth to retirement, a guide dog costs over £52,000.
Sharon, who is a volunteer with Guide Dogs NI and works as a personal assistant at Danske Bank, said: "The bank has been able to support three new guide dog owners by giving them a specially constructed starter pack. This contains the equipment they will need to train and work safely with their dog, including a guiding harness, handle, quick release strap and reflective strip with 'Please don't distract me, I'm working', reminding members of the public not to interrupt a guide dog, as well as other pieces of kit."
Amy Stinton, external relations coordinator at Danske Bank, commented: "Sharon has worked as a volunteer with Guide Dogs NI for six years and we are delighted to be able to recognise her efforts by giving this support."
Danske Bank's staff grants programme recognises the value of volunteering that employees undertake in their own personal time. Since its launch, the scheme has donated nearly £100,000 to different voluntary groups across Northern Ireland.

The day I wrote the last post about Dell I actually received a response through twitter and although I am still completely annoyed by the entire debacle I have been sufficiently pacified. I don't know that I will buy from you again anytime soon but who can say for sure. Hopefully my Alienware desktop and laptop will live up to their work horse reputations and stick around for a while.
So I have been absent as some of you may have noticed. This was due to a 4 day stint in the hospital that ended with more questions, inconclusive test results and on going albeit lessened abdominal pain. They have so far ruled out kidney stones, gall bladder, intestinal obstruction and now investigating some other intestinal problems or gynecological issues. Let the tests and Dr. visits begin.
As a result of this I am terribly swamped at work, more so than usual despite me logging on from the hospital and handling any urgent issues.
In other news my Disney Vacation is quickly approaching. The kids have been prepping by getting their fill of Disney movies. I have been prepping by purchasing sunblock, summer clothes, bonine (for motion sickness) and making meal reservations.
I will also be going camping in a couple of weeks with the cub scouts – no technology allowed, bummer.
Sorry this one was short and sweet but work beckons.

Personal branding questions
Do you understand what a personal brand is built to do?
It boils down to the story I am about to tell. The biggest question a self brand answers is, "Why should I do business with you?"
Many people know I spent five months in Allendale, South Carolina helping a friend I met on IBOtoolbox back in 2013. While I was there I made friends with many people. For the past almost two years I have been working with some of the people I met on IBOtoolbox in 2011. Most of us spent time together on Webinars during the time I was in South Carolina.
One of the people I already knew when I went there was James Lockett. My friend needed a way for the people of Allendale to earn pocket change. James came up with an idea and sent samples. This for the ones who needed this help, to use.
Instead of using the samples as they were meant to be used the person I went to help drank them. This was a good and a bad thing. The person had type two diabetes and went all summer without medication. When he ran out of samples his blood sugar shot to over 400, and he had to go back on medication. Sadly the people who were supposed to earn by selling the samples had to be taken care of another way. I remember many times getting up from my desk and making something for them to eat.
To this day I can't understand why he wasn't able put two and two together like I did. I knew the samples were why his blood sugar stayed low. When he should have been buying the product to maintain his blood sugar, he did nothing until his blood sugar spiked.
When I returned to Nebraska it was in the middle of the winter. The temperatures in South Carolina had been between the lower 50's and mid 60's during the day and above freezing at night. In Nebraska the temperatures were -5 F at night and maybe +5 F during the day.
All my warm clothing was in storage so needless to say I got sick fast. I have no idea how many times I have used the phrase, "Everything a person needs to survive and thrive is available in nature." Many people also know my grandmother was a healer. So when I needed something to make me well I called James Lockett.
He told me what he felt I needed and got me set up to get it. For a solid year I used what he recommended daily. It was the only thing I drank for that year. As it turns out that was the healthiest year of my life.
So where is this all leading?
Self branding includes the points below
James showed that he truly cared for others
He was the first person I thought of when I needed help
He delivered a product that delivered on his promise
I felt I knew him because he wasn't afraid to pick up the phone to make or receive calls.
Fast forward to today
Today I picked up the phone and called him. He was the first person I thought of, even though I know others who carry the product I need to get healthy again. The concept with self branding is, "Am I the person who comes to mind when someone needs something I carry?"
So you have to ask why?
I guess number one is because his name and number have been programmed in every cell phone I have had since 2013. He has been considered a true friend since even before I had his phone number. Although we haven't been in constant contact, we have talked many times since 2013. This time it had been about a year since we talked. He remembered my voice and addressed me by name after all I said was. "Hi James".
Self branding is not only the picture you show, and the posts you make. It is also how you treat people in emails, over the phone, and any other way of personal contact.
You have to ask yourself, in my self brand am I showing people who I really am? Am I afraid to pick up the phone and not try to sell someone? Can I become the someone people call, or reach out to, when they need or want what I carry?
The link above and here lead to a no cost personal brand consultation.© January 9, 2019 11:00 PM CDT Dennis Thorgesen, Lisechglobal business and brand consulting, Lisech eMarketing, all rights reserved.

House GOPs Jump Ship; Another Crosses Over
Kirk England gets some sense, announces switch to Democratic party; other changes afoot as well
By Richard Whittaker, Fri., Sept. 28, 2007
On the same day as England's announcement, Rep. Dianne White Delisi, R-Temple, said she'll be standing down at the end of her current term. Long regarded as one of Speaker Tom Craddick's most loyal allies, the chair of the House Public Health Committee will not idly run out the electoral clock. Following her announcement, Craddick confirmed she will be one of four state reps on the newly formed Medicaid Reform Legislative Oversight Committee.
But the most senior retiree was Rep. Fred Hill, R-Richardson, whose staff confirmed his intention not to run again on Thursday. Last session, the 10-term GOPer and chair of the Local Government Ways and Means Committee fell out with the speaker: It was Hill who, on May 25, authored the motion to vacate the speaker's chair that Craddick refused to hear, thus starting the still-unresolved power struggle. His retirement decision was a surprise, as he had filed papers with the Texas Ethics Commission to run for speaker next session.
Not every departure is a lifetime legislator. On Aug. 28, freshman Rep. Mike O'Day, R-Pearland, announced he would stand down at the end of his term. He only entered the House in a special election in January after the death of incumbent Glenda Dawson, who died before last November's election but whose name remained on the ballot.
House Chief Clerk Robert Haney says that while his office tracks retirement announcements, there's no formal list yet. "The only person who has informed us they have resigned is [Rep.] Anna Mowery," Haney said. The long-serving Fort Worth Republican quit her seat in August, and Gov. Rick Perry called a special election to be held on Nov. 6 to replace her.
On the Democrat side, there are no resignations yet. But with Rep. Rick Noriega, D-Houston, hoping to become the Democrat challenger to U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, his seat may become vacant. The full list of returnees and retirees will become clearer on Dec. 3, when filing for next November's election begins, and will be confirmed when filing ends on Jan. 2. "That's when we'll officially know who's coming back and who's not," Haney said.

I played at a pop up launch for Guilty Noodle at Old Street Station last night. It was fun and it was 24 degrees outside, thus naturally a heck of a lot hotter underground and combined with fake tan blocking ones pores and a heavily sequinned kimono jumpsuit, it was like working out in one of those sweat suits that people do for extreme rapid weight loss. A more glamorous looking one in theory, but in reality, just as much of a sorry soggy mess.
So, lesson is don't wear a heavy sequinned article when whirling around playing records underground. Unless you like the sweaty look. I don't mind it when I am dans le gym, I am just sorry everyone else had to experience it.
I did a lol-ful party last week in Picturehouse Central. THAT'S A NICE VENUE. A disco in a cinema (ok, member's bar) is a very good thing. I would like to do more please.
This month workwise I am doing THIS:
A wedding in the Cotswolds, Saturday 10th September
Soho House, Friday 16th September
G-A-Y (S-C-R-E-A-M!!!), Friday 23rd September
Razzmatazz, Barcelona Friday 30th September
Aaaand, W Does Brunch at the best Hotel ever, W London every Sunday 12-4pm
There may be some other things popping up, so have a look at my Twitter as that's where the latest hot disco chat can be found. Amongst outpourings from my tiny mind.

Parish holds service day
Honoring the parish's patron saint two days before his feast day, members of St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Omaha Sept. 25 gathered 200 volunteers in the gym to assemble more than 40,000 meals for the needy.
And in a related effort, students at the parish school Sept. 27 collected 2,500 paper items for the needy, including paper towels, toilet paper and facial tissue.
The parish's outreach committee coordinated the meals as part of community service day, an annual parish project, with help this year from local organizations Omaha Against Hunger and Kids Against Hunger.
The paper products and meals of rice and beans will be distributed through thrift stores, the parish food pantry and other assistance centers in Nebraska and Iowa, including the Heart Ministry near Sacred Heart Parish, Bethlehem House, the Stephen Center, the Juan Diego Center and Food Bank for the Heartland, all in Omaha.
"This large parish project is one way we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the parish this year and living our mission of loving service to those in need, in the spirit of our patron," said Jenni Vankat, the parish's pastoral minister and adult formation director.

Dangling Delegation
There is a behavior I have experienced directly and have witnessed with others...what I call "dangling delegation": When a delegatee is left hanging! Let me explain.
Many years ago I worked in a mortgage company's office, after being hired by a previous business acquaintance. She was excited about my employment there as she knew that I followed through on tasks. But the reality was quite different. She could not let go of anything! I had to hunt down work from other departments because I had little to do, and yet my supervisor was overwhelmed with work. She refused to give up control or power to anyone else!.
I've had occasional Lightseeds clients who are so busy they cannot take the time to look at their task lists and delegate work. And yet 30 to 60 minutes set aside monthly, which would take very little time away from needed work, would allow them to delegate several hours of work from their to-do lists, and free that needed time to not only catch up, but to grow.
Both in business offices and my own practice, I have also experienced the employer or client who simply doesn't know where to begin. The thread is so tangled they can't find the end! Set aside a bit of time to confer with your delegatee (whether an employee, associate, virtual assistant, or volunteer) to brainstorm ways to be most effective as a delegator. Together you can establish priorities, timelines and deadlines, and any needed processes.
You can learn to be an effective delegator, taking the overload from your own desk so you can continue to work on what you rock at doing, what you should be doing.
I am so often asked "What the heck is a Virtual Assistant?" It's still an up-and-coming profession, and OH so rewarding! A "VA" is someone who assists a business, usually an entrepreneur/solopreneur, with various administrative tasks. A VA can be a generalist, rather like an administrative assistant in a corporation. But she (I use the feminine because the majority of VAs are female) can also be a specialist, focusing on a certain type of company, or offering a specific set of services. For instance, I am a Spiritual VA, offering business communication and organizational services to heart-based entrepreneurs.
I have explained to dozens of people how the process works...here's a summary.

When you know that you're doing too much and not focusing on your key skillset, those tasks that are your "sweet spot" that only you can do, it's time to unload! Do some online research and find the right match for you!
Carol: a story of delegation
Carol is a really busy entrepreneur. She was always the "go-to" person at her former employer's office and has carried that energy into her own business. She loves knowing everything, having her hands in everything.
As her business grows, Carol more often finds herself working later (and earlier). Checking email as she can, often late at night. She takes client calls, posts blogs, publishes a newsletter, attends networking events, and just realized that she rushes through client appointments. By the time her day is done, so is she! Done in, tired, hungry, and very, very crabby.
What Carol forgot is that no (wo)man is an island! She forgot that there is all sorts of help available to her. And when she was reminded of that, she promptly hired help! Now she has someone to manage her blogs and newsletters, take client calls and handle other administrative matters. Carol focuses on her networking and actually doing her work with clients. Doing her work. The part that she loves ... the part only she can do.
Are you "Carol"? Look around you and explore your options for ways to delegate. When you know the part that only YOU can do, you know what others can take over for you. As your time expands with those tasks off your plate, you will not only be more productive, but more successful - and rested!

Shifting U.S. Hispanic Culture Sets Company's Course
DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - January 5, 2011) - Hispanic population growth is expected in the 2010 census results. For Pizza Patrón, the leading Latin pizza brand, this is no surprise. The company, which studies the U.S. Hispanic demographic meticulously, believes the real story is not in the numbers but in the cultural-shift taking place within the Hispanic demographic. The new Latino population in the U.S. is growing up bilingual and bicultural, and that is the driving force behind Pizza Patrón's new, long-term brand strategy.
According to Iconoculture and the U.S. Census, for every nine births among Hispanics, there is only one death, compared to a roughly one-to-one ratio among whites. By 2015, one-third of the nation's population, 19 years old and younger, will be Latino. Pizza Patrón is in the process of updating every aspect of its business, from training and operations to menu systems and advertising, with the new, younger bicultural Hispanic in mind.
"It's not enough for us to just provide friendly, bilingual service anymore," said Andrew Gamm, brand director for Pizza Patrón. "Our future hinges on our ability to create a unique, bicultural experience for our guests. The newest and fastest-growing segment within the Latino population is very multi-dimensional, very young, and will influence American culture significantly in the future."
Pizza Patrón, celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2011, has witnessed these changing dynamics first-hand in its stores over the past few years. "Keeping pace with this emerging cultural shift in the Hispanic market is actually helping us reach more mainstream consumers too, which is great for our brand," says Gamm.
"For instance, our latest TV commercials feature a younger, more diverse group of customers," said Gamm. "And, we are putting more dollars into general market programming than ever before -- that marks a considerable change for us compared to what we have done historically even though our Hispanic brand focus hasn't changed at all."
Recently highlighted in the Wall Street Journal for its strategic shifts focusing on the Latino demographic, Pizza Patrón continues to be a lightning rod for discussion regarding Hispanics in the U.S. The company plans to continue to shape the brand to reflect the contemporary Latin experience in the U.S. today.
About Pizza Patrón
Pizza Patrón, America's #1 Latin pizza brand, offers traditional pizza, wings and sides in its community based, Latin-influenced stores. Pizza Patrón was founded by restaurateur Antonio Swad in 1986, in Dallas, Texas, and today operates 100 dine-in and carry-out restaurants in seven states with 40 more under development. Pizza Patrón has franchise opportunities available in prime markets throughout the country offering a proven system for hard-working franchisee candidates. In 2007, the brand received international news coverage when it decided to accept Mexican Pesos at all of its locations, gaining over 500,000,000 media impressions worth over $30 million in the U.S. alone. The company's medium AMIGO PIZZAS® start as low as $4 and X-Large LISTA-NOW READY™ pepperoni pizzas start as low as $6 all day, every day.

A Day in Nashville
Last week, I took a day trip to Nashville to see a friend, and attend the Jim James concert. We had a good time running around Nashville. We meet the fine folks at Imogene + Willie. They asked me to take a group photo outside their shop with an old Polaroid camera. I was happy to do so, and then we took one for me. They had several seamstresses not only onsite, but visible to the public to do all their alterations. Pretty cool.
On the way back to Columbus I took some back roads of Kentucky and found a stunning horse who was quite photogenic. Oh, and the concert was terrific! Here are some photos.

Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em is back on stage in 2020 by popular demand after a sold out tour in 2018 and can be seen at Nottingham's Theatre Royal from March 10 to 14.
Joe Pasquale returns as the lovable but accident-prone Frank Spencer in the stage production of the classic 1970s TV comedy.
Sarah Earnshaw is also returning as his long-suffering wife Betty and Susie Blake his disapproving mother- in-law, Mrs Fisher.
The stage adaptation is by Guy Unsworth, based on the original TV series by Raymond Allen.
Joe Pasquale said: "After 30 years in showbusiness, this has been the role of a lifetime for me, so to be bringing it back again, this time to a wider audience, is a dream come true.
"Alongside Sarah Earnshaw's brilliant Betty, the Spencers are hitting the road again, bigger and better than ever before… it's going to be a disaster!".
Writer and director of the stage adaptation, Guy Unsworth said, "We never imagined how much love there would be for this new story of Frank and Betty, both from critics and audiences alike. I'm so pleased that these incredible cast members are returning, led of course by the irreplaceable Joe Pasquale, who is unmissable as Frank".

A Dental Assistant is a valuable asset in the Dentist's office. Without him or her, the clinic would be in chaos. You have to wear many hats; from office assistant to a second-in-command during surgery to client support, you should have the requisite skills to manage these key areas of responsibility. If you want to be hired, you need to submit a resume that would immediately gain the nod of the Dentist. The good news is we have the best Dental Assistant resume sample that would numb the pain of writing one.

It's not just about having the necessary skills but the ability to transition smoothly from one task to another that matters.

Resume Writing Tips for Dental Assistant
You don't have to be a college degree holder to become a Dental Assistant. If you finished high school or have taken the GED, you can still work as a Dental Assistant provided you are certified.
The Hiring Manager of a hospital or the proprietor of a dental clinic will not consider your resume if you have not undergone formal training as a Dental Assistant. You will notice in the Dental Assistant resume example we shared at the beginning of the article, that certification is displayed front and center among your qualifications. Certification will also help you negotiate for better pay.
There are some states where certification is not enough. Legislation may further require you to take a licensing exam as proof you can competently assist the dentist during procedure. You cannot take the licensing exam unless you have been certified. If you are licensed, you should also highlight this information in your Dental Assistant resume.
In the healthcare and medical industries, certifications are a big plus not only because these assure the clinic or hospital of your qualification but it also reduces time spent on training and orientation. If you received additional training in the different areas of dental assistance work, you should showcase these certifications in your resume.
But remember, the work of a Dental Assistant isn't all about clinical assistance. You should also have experience managing a dental office and this means possessing organizational skills. Do not forget to include these abilities as we did in our resume for Dental Assistant.
Finally, consider the type of dental clinic you are applying for. There are different types of dental clinics: cosmetic dentistry, general dentistry and dental surgery to name a few. Then arrange your certifications and proficiencies according to their relevance to the type of dental clinic.
What to Write in a Dental Assistant Resume Objective
If you noticed in our job objective we wrote in the resume, the first item indicated is the DANB certification. As stated earlier, certification is a prerequisite for a Dental Assistant. This is probably the first qualification the Hiring Manager will look for in your resume.
Next item would be your level of experience. Hiring managers are noted for having a preference for well- experienced applicants. It makes the transition easier and it is hoped that the learning curve will not be as steep as someone with lesser experience.
Finally, it is important that you include attributes that are sought after in a Dental Assistant. Top of the list would be customer service, organizational and communication skills. These are all valuable qualities of a well- rounded Dental Assistant.
What to Write in a Dental Assistant Resume Skills Section
As a Dental Assistant, you will find yourself frequently assisting the Dentist during the procedure. This means you have to assure your potential employer that you have the trainings and skills to be in the same room with him or her.
The dentist would like to see which areas of dentistry or clinic operations you are already familiar with. If you have taken special courses or certifications related to the dentistry profession, trust that these skills will clearly catch the interest of the dentist.
- Educational Attainment; a college degree is not necessary but a big advantage. If you finished high school, indicate the inclusive years and GPA. If you were not able to finish high school, state that you took the GED, attach proof and your score.
- Certifications; your priority should be proof as a Certified Dental Assistant and licensure. Without this information, it will be difficult to find a job as a Dental Assistant. Those in the health and patient-care industry are allergic to potential law suits. Doctors and dentists would not want to take the chance on hiring a person who has not been certified for the job.
- Additional Skills; dentistry involves different tasks. If you have taken additional training for X-rays, taking teeth impressions, patient care, dental technology and other related work, include these details in the resume skills section.
- Associations; are you a member of any association or organization of dental assistants? Include the name of the organization and other pertinent details. Membership in recognized associations is a plus factor because it implies you adhere to established values, guidelines and best practices in the industry.
- Administrative Skills; when you are not assisting the Dentist, you have to hold down the office. You will be tasked to handle phone calls, set appointments, discuss cases with patients, manage the dentist's calendar, update patient files, order medical supplies, record inventory, check the working condition of the equipment and maintain cleanliness of the office.
- People Skills; you have to know how to deal with different types of people. As you know, some procedures take long hours. It may encroach on the schedule of another patient who has been waiting in the reception area for quite some time. You should be able to manage the various personalities that flow in and out of the office on a daily basis. You should also know how to keep patients calm before their procedure.
Dental Assistant Job Seeking Tips
The first thing you should do is find out the requirements of the city or state where you want to work as a Dental Assistant. If you have not fulfilled some of the requirements, delay the job search and do what is necessary to make sure you can comply.
Your job search can cover these avenues:
- Classified Ads – Check your local newspaper for ads posted by dental clinics looking dental assistants.
- Online Sources – Visit popular online job sites such as Monster, CareerBuilder, Indeed, DentalPost and DentalSpots.
- Referrals – Ask those in your network if they can refer you to a dental clinic or hospital that needs dental assistants.
- Social Media – Join focus groups, connect with people in your industry and inquire about job openings for dental assistants.
Regardless of the avenue you take, it is very important to submit a solid Dental Assistant resume. We are confident our Dental Assistant resume sample will be the best reference tool you can use to craft your own resume. It has all the tips you need to make your resume stand out from the rest.
