Pressure is being piled on Defra to clarify funding for the agricultural sector in the devolved regions as Brexit draws nearer.
The UK Government has committed to the same level of agricultural support in this parliament but has so far failed to give any more detail on how that funding might be allocated across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
It came as the Farmers' Union of Wales launched its 'Fair Farm Funding' campaign to ensure the industry did not receive less than it did before the UK left the European Union.
Critically, the funding must not be subject to the Barnett Formula, which central Government used to distribute monies according to population size.
FUW managing director Alan Davies said under the formula, Wales usually received about 5.6 per cent of the total money allocated.
If the UK Treasury matched the current EU payments to Defra of £3.5 billion to support UK agriculture, Wales would receive about £196 million.
WATCH: More details on
"Wales has historically received about 9.4 per cent of the total EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) budget allocation to the UK," said Mr Davies.
"That would equate to £329 million. Barnett would reduce our funding by around 40 per cent and that must not happen.
"Wales urgently needs certainty that we will receive at least our historical share of the UK's agricultural and rural development budget promised by Secretary of State Michael Gove, especially as the budget for next year needs to be in place by October this year."
The calls were echoed by NFU Scotland president Andrew McCornick, with the sector standing to lose about half the sum currently going to Scotland through the Barnett Formula.
"Under the CAP framework, Scotland receives 16 per cent of all the EU monies given to the UK to spend on agriculture and rural development," said Mr McCornick.
"A significant concern of Scottish farmers and crofters is that, even if the UK Government maintains the quantum of funding going into UK agriculture after Brexit, the allocation of funding on a regional basis could be lessened, or be subject to the Barnett formula.
"It is the sort of 'grab' which NFUS believes must be avoided."
First Minister of Wales Carwyn Jones and Welsh Rural Affairs Minister Lesley Griffiths have both recently reassured farmers by recognising agricultural funding will have to be held in a separate pot and 'dealt with in a different way'.

Need something to cover up the smell of diapers and baby wipes? Dolce & Gabbana is here to help.
Rumors are swirling that the Italian luxury brand is working on a perfume for tots after co-founder Stefano Gabbana posted a photo of a perfume bottle and what looks to be an ad campaign with the caption "Per i bimbi!!!" (Translation: For a baby.)
The fragrance will have hints of citrus, honey and melon, according to an item in The New York Daily News, which also includes this (unattributed) quote from Gabbana: "The softness of baby skin, the freshness of baby breath, a mother's sweet hug, [and] the first smile were inspirations for the scent, meant to enhance the tot's natural smell."
Though this sounds like a joke, it seems that there's a market for baby eau de toilette. Both Bulgari and Burberry already have perfumes pour les petites on the market.
How do you feel about the idea of a Dolce & Gabbana baby perfume? Do you secretly want to buy it for yourself (because I totally do).

Twitter: Network or Podium
Twitter is labeled a social networking tool. Wikipedia defines a social network as:
a social structure made up of individuals (or organizations) called "nodes", which are tied (connected) by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as friendship, kinship, common interest, financial exchange, dislike, sexual relationships, or relationships of beliefs, knowledge or prestige.
That's a mouthful, covering many types of networks.
Podiums are platforms that raise one above the crowd. Paraphrased from Wikipedia.
Simpler but the differences are many.
So which is twitter to me? It's definitely in the social network category. I'm a node with ties to many other nodes. Most ties not only go both ways, but parallel others. Rarely is a node in the network with a single tie in.
Podiums implies a one to many relationship, and may imply a single direction tie, i.e. speaker or preacher to a crowd or assembly. Podium implies active listeners, people on the other end coming along willingly 'for a time'. Here's the rub on Twitter. Some folks never leave the podium to join in the more common type of networking, many to many.
Podium use is a special case of social networking on Twitter. During a certain chat session, one may be a leader, sharing links, notes, and idea while others merely listen. Twitter isn't a simple room where there's one microphone, one method to share, or systems in place to limit connections, say as in a meeting hall. It doesn't long abide a lone voice that doesn't interact.
Sure, that person may gather up followers, as people hope for a nugget here and there. Time though brings a lack of interest. That speaker on the podium only has so much to say that hasn't been heard or isn't better absorbed on another platform. People go back to active networking, creating ties with other nodes, destroying some, and just exercising others.
Maybe it is the lack of built in rules and structures that leads to this bit of chaos. I'd say though it's organic and living, messy but self organizing. Twitter folks, the nodes, each have intrinsic value by connecting; each brings a unique bit of DNA to the organism.
Does the occasional node stand out and speak to the rest of the network? Sure. It happens. Is it the norm? Not at all. Soon that voice (node) is drowned out and it's connected nodes move on to more energetic and life giving connections. In practice, people are drawn to interaction more than listening.
So network or podium? It's clear to me that Twitter can be a podium for some. It isn't either. Does it last? Is it a profitable use of your time? I'll let you decide.
While you're thinking about it, I'll keep working to add value to my node so that people forming ties to me don't regret punching that button.

Reillys of Beast and Bottle to open Coperta in Denver's Uptown in 2016
There has been buzz about the new restaurant in Denver's Uptown neighborhood planned by Paul and Aileen Reilly, the siblings behind Beast and Bottle. Until now, the name has been under wraps.
But they've dubbed the restaurant Coperta, an Italian word for "blanket," and there's a story behind it. (The restaurant will open in early 2016 in the former Jonesy's space at 404 E. 20th Ave., just a few blocks from Beast.)
"Aileen and I grew up in New York eating this kind of Italian food, which is comfortable like a blanket," Paul said on a recent afternoon. "We had thought about 'Coperta' and decided we weren't so hot on it, even thought I liked the idea of throwing a blanket over our guests, but nothing else really worked." Read more…

An interesting survey recently published in Resuscitation looks at arrest teams for in-hospital cardiac arrest. As anyone in the FOAM-o-sphere is well aware, trauma teams, prehospital teams and ED cardiac arrest teams are increasingly well oiled and the importance of a designated team leader has never been more apparent. Are teams for in-hospital arrests lagging behind? Is the in-hospital arrest the neglected problem child in the resus family?
The study
This is a nationwide cross-sectional study in which the authors surveyed 44 inpatient hospitals in Denmark and examined their hospital protocols for in-house arrests. They looked primarily at the composition of arrest teams for in-hospital arrest and whether or not the team leader and other roles were defined.
The results
The results are fairly interesting on two fronts. Firstly the teams dispatched to take care of the sickest of the sick are really pretty junior. A senior trainee (defined here as PGY3 and up) was involved in only 20% of the teams and the rest of the time the doctors running the codes had less than 2 years of experience. The second finding of note was that in 41% of the hospitals, no team leader was defined pre-arrest, and the majority didn't define the roles of any of the other team members either. The teams comprised an average of 5 people, including doctors from anesthesiology, cardiology and internal medicine, anaesthesia nurses, orderlies and medical assistants.
A few musings
I suspect that these findings are in no way unique to Denmark and are definitely similar to the way things happen in a number of the countries in which I've worked. In many facets of hospital medicine 'sickness' and seniority are directly proportional, i.e the more risk you have of dying imminently, the more experienced people you need looking after you. Why then do we often send our most junior docs to treat patients who arrest within the walls of the hospital, when we have senior shot-callers running codes in the ED, trauma bay and ICU? Would we accept a trauma team in 2015 without a predefined leader? Another interesting point is that in-hospital arrest teams in general are made up of staff from a range of specialities, who don't work together on a regular basis.
Structure and leadership – as well as initiating possible advanced interventions outside the algorithm – would all be better taken care of in a timely fashion with more experienced team members present from the start. Maybe it's time that we started structuring and drilling our in-hospital arrest teams in the same way we do our other high performance teams?

THE government has caved in to pressure from the ECHO to return £4.5m in missing regeneration money to Liverpool.
The money will now go towards the planned renovation of Lime Street station's frontage and improving St George's plateau, which aims to create a world-class Liverpool Gateway ahead of 2008.
The cash was clawed back from a city developer who did not deliver promised renovations to the Exchange Flags building two years ago. Deputy premier John Prescott said it would go back to Liverpool.
But the "windfall" disappeared into the coffers of regeneration agency English Partnerships. Last week the ECHO demanded the cash back as Riverside MP Louise Ellman, who fought for the original funding, tabled Parliamentary questions.
Mr Prescott's office, which had returned the cash to English Partnerships, then took swift action.
Junior minister Yvette Cooper said English Partnerships would "significantly enhance" the Lime Street Gateway project. One option is for a piazza-style open space outside the station.
In a written reply to Mrs Ellman she said: "This will include new public space, improved accessibility and potentially a new landmark building.
"English Partnerships will seek to allocate the windfall to a scheme including environmental improvements, in line with the intention behind the original grant." English Partnership is working with Liverpool Vision, Liverpool council, Network rail, Merseytravel and the private sector on the scheme and hopes to get the necessary approval by summer.
Mrs Ellman, a board member of Liverpool Vision, said: "We must now make sure the money is used to improve the image of Liverpool ahead of the capital of culture and benefit local people by creatinga more attractive environment.
"This is a victory for both my own efforts to ensure the money is returned and the investigation by the ECHO."
Cllr Mike Storey, leader of Liverpool council, said: "Any money which we can use for the continued renaissance of the city is to be welcomed.
"It is thanks to the diligence of officers, politicians and the media that this money has been returned to us."
Millionaire developer Bill Davies's Walton Group was ordered to hand back the city challenge grant after an out of court settlement in 2002.
To qualify for the grant the company had to show it had spent £23.7m refurbishing Exchange Flags, but it emerged the cash had gone to wholly-owned subsidiary contractors Todd and Benn.
An English Partnerships spokesman said: "I can only confirm the money was recovered from the company and the intention is that it will be invested in Liverpool."

The new DEUTZ-FAHR 6W Series consists of 7 models with outputs from 155 to 190 HP powered by tried and tested Stage and Stage III A compliant 6 cylinder engines matched to perfection by efficient, completely synchronised transmissions, and boasting high performance hydraulic systems. This effective technical package is completed by solutions for comfort and ergonomics in keeping with the latest European standards and eye-catching style.
Performance worth boasting about
6W Series tractors are powered by high performance Yuchai YC6J-T20 or YC6J-T30 engines. The former, with a mechanically driven, in-line high pressure fuel injection pump, are compliant with Stage II emissions regulations, while the latter feature Common Rail injection and are Stage III A compliant. The superlative performance and reliability of these Yuchai engines are the results of zero-compromise technical choices such as: a generous engine capacity of 6,490 cm³, a maximum engine speed of just 2,300 rpm and turbo-intercooler forced induction.
For total peace of mind even when working in extremely dusty conditions, all models are equipped as standard with a cyclone pre-filter mounted on the A-pillar, which extends the lifespan of the main air filter to keep the engine working at peak performance and efficiency without obstructing the view of the driver. Keeping the tractor working longer between refuelling stops is a generous 420 litre tank protected against impact with rocks and stones by sturdy steel guards.
Robust, efficient and highly configurable
6W Series tractors are equipped as standard with a sturdy, fully synchronised transmission with 4 gears and 3 ranges. A splitter is fitted as standard to double the number of ratios available, for a total of 24+12 speeds, and allowing the tractor to work at a minimum ground speed of approximately 1 km/h at maximum engine speed. Alternatively, one of the ranges may be replaced by a supercreeper gear, to give the tractor a total of 16+12 speeds and a minimum ground speed of just 400 m/h. At the other end of the scale, the 6155 W version has a maximum road speed of 35 km/h, while other models have a top speed of 40 km/h.
Letting you give your best
To let the driver optimise engine speed for the power demand of the implement used, the PTO - with independent drive shaft and mechanically engaged clutch - comes with the universal 540 and 1000 rpm speed modes.
So simple and yet so powerful
Everything about the hydraulic system of the 6W Series is also conceived for total reliability. The system comes as standard with open centre architecture and a fixed displacement pump with an impressive output of 95 l/min. Also standard is an additional pump feeding oil exclusively to the hydraulic steering system, for impeccably smooth steering even at idle speed and while the main hydraulic utilities are in use. These tractors come with 4 way mechanically controlled rear distributors as standard, and may be equipped with 6 way rear distributors as an option.
In the standard configuration, the rear lift has quick hitch couplers and a maximum capacity of 5400 kg; which may be increased to 7000 kg with the addition of optional external cylinders. The precise draft control system uses sensors on the lower arms.
Class beating power and safety
The new front carrier facilitates fitment of modular suitcase type ballast weights. This type of ballast weight offers significant advantages over a single piece weight, as the weight applied to the tractor may be tailored to the effective need, avoiding damage caused by unnecessary overloading, while the lower mounting position of the weights on the tractor does not interfere with forward visibility.
The sturdy front axle includes an automatically locking differential, while the 100% lockable differential on the rear axle is operated from a practical manual control.
The Heavy Duty rear axle is equipped with a potent, multiple wet disc braking system.
Class beating ergonomics and technology
DEUTZ-FAHR 6W Series tractors boast an ergonomic, comfortable cab in keeping with the latest European standards. The spacious cab is suspended on 4 Silent-Block mounts to effectively isolate the interior against the vibration of the engine and transmission, and features a modern analogue dashboard providing the driver with all the information necessary on the functions of the tractor. The controls are organised rationally around the driver. Air conditioning is standard, while the seat has an effective mechanically sprung and damped seat suspension, with adjustable stiffness to suit the weight of the driver.

Alexander Rodchenko Artworks
Russian Designer, Painter, Photographer, and Sculptor
Movements and Styles: Suprematism, Constructivism, Modern Photography
Born: December 5, 1891 - St. Petersburg, Russia
Died: December 3, 1956 - Moscow, Russia
Artworks by Alexander Rodchenko
The below artworks are the most important by Alexander Rodchenko - that both overview the major creative periods, and highlight the greatest achievements by the artist.
Artwork Images
Dance. An Objectless Composition (1915)
Artwork description & Analysis: Rodchenko attended a lecture by Russian Futurists Wassily Kamensky, David Burliuk, and Vladimir Mayakovsky, in Kazan in 1912, and was immediately converted. He abandoned the Art Nouveau styling of some of his earlier work and began to fragment his forms to create dynamic compositions. Dance is perhaps his most Futurist painting, and it clearly resembles works by Italian Futurists such as Umberto Boccioni and Gino Severini. However, Rodchenko soon grew disinterested in the style and, following this, he began to create even more abstract pictures, putting aside entirely the last suggestions of illusion that Dance creates.

Non-Objective Painting No 80 (Black on Black) (1918)
Artwork description & Analysis: Rodchenko was powerfully influenced by Kazimir Malevich's Suprematism, and particularly by works such as Black Square (1915), which reduced the components of the painting to a single black square that echoed the shape of the canvas. However, Rodchenko rejected the older man's spiritualism and strove instead to emphasize the material qualities of painting, in particular surface and texture (or "faktura" as the Russians called it). Non-Objective Painting No 80 is typical of this phase in his career and is part of a series of similar "Black on Black" paintings, which were exhibited alongside five white paintings by Malevich in Moscow in 1919. The exhibition was important in catapulting Rodchenko into the forefront of Russia's avant-garde.

Construction No. 127 (Two Circles) (1920)
Artwork description & Analysis: By 1920, Rodchenko no longer felt obliged to imbue his basic geometric figures with distinguishable layers of color. In this composition, two perfectly drawn circles intersect. The white circles on black canvas form a powerful juxtaposition liberating the line from any recognizable connotations. This balanced and precise geometric composition underlines Rodchenko's preoccupation with engineering and design that he maintained throughout his career. Rodchenko arrived at compositions such as these by progressively stripping away all that he considered unnecessary in the field of painting; after reducing color to black and emphasizing surface texture, he seized on line as the most important and elemental component of the medium. This development may have been influenced by Wassily Kandinsky's ideas, since the two artists were closely associated, though while Kandinsky stressed the expressive possibilities of line, Rodchenko emphasized its possibilities as a tool of construction.

Pure Red Color, Pure Yellow Color, Pure Blue Color (1921)
Artwork description & Analysis: Here Rodchenko reinterprets the iconic art form of the Western tradition - the triptych - which was traditionally reserved for the representation of religious scenes. The piece reflects Rodchenko's interest in Malevich throughout these years, but instead of pursuing Malevich's spiritualism, he stressed the physical, material properties of painting - in this case, color. Rodchenko regarded these pictures as his final statement on painting, famously writing, "I reduced painting to its logical conclusion and exhibited three canvases: red, blue and yellow. I affirmed: it's all over. Basic Colors. Every plane is a plane and there is to be no representation." These monochrome experiments have been a crucial example for later generations of abstract artists, particularly Minimalists.

Maquette for the Advertisement of the Red October Bisquittes (1923)
Artwork description & Analysis: When Rodchenko abandoned painting in 1921, he also abandoned many of the traditional attitudes of the artist as a commentator on society and began instead to put his talents in the service of the Russian industry and the nascent revolution. This is an early example of his work for Russian industry, advertising Red October confectionary. Rigid geometry defines the composition through the juxtaposition of horizontal and vertical lines. The letters themselves are stylized. Both whimsical and visually arresting, Rodchenko's designs were an important influence on such key artistic laboratories as the Bauhaus in the Weimar Republic.

Books (The Advertisement Poster for the Lengiz Publishing House) (1924)
Artwork description & Analysis: This poster arguably brought Rodchenko the most fame and appreciation from his patrons in the Soviet government. The composition is typical of his use of photomontage in the period (the combination of photography and text). And it also reflects the ways in which he updated Russian advertising, using geometric compositions and strident colors to trumpet modernity. While his designs are directed at promoting individual companies or products, they also - often explicitly - endorse the goals of political revolution.

The Staircase (1930)
Artwork description & Analysis: This is one of Rodchenko's finest photographs. Often credited with devising the key principles of modern photography, Rodchenko is praised for his use of unusual angles and perspective. Here, he juxtaposes the motif of a woman with a child against the stern geometry of the man-made environment. The position of the camera at a peculiar angle provides for an innovative, yet carefully balanced and flowing composition. Compositions such as this were an important influence on New Vision, the modernist photography movement that gripped Europe in the 1920s and '30s.

"A pasty, sometimes known as a pastie or British pasty in the United States, is a filled pastry case, associated in particular with Cornwall in Great Britain." –Wikipedia
Just to clear things up.
"Oh, shoo. She's on that pumpkin kick again." Tempted, but no. One of my Christmas gifts this year was, check it, The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook, written by Dinah Bucholz. I guess my Harry Potter journey began (imagine the celesta starting to play Hedwig's theme) one summer while in college when all of my friends either went home or got jobs in other areas. So, I was left to work and do other random nonsense in Columbia, like read. It was then that I realized that J.K. Rowling was a flippin' genius and, despite my roommates' pleas for me to leave my bedroom and their desperate attempts to keep me alive by shoving cookies and PB&Js under my door, I ended up reading the first six books in a little over a month. My hair was thin and my nails torn unbearably short while I anticipated the release of the final installment and, because I was out-of-town, sent my very non-dorkish sister to the bookstore in the midst of the robe-wearing, wand-waving, spell-screaming Potter wannabes at the store's book release party. She survived. And I got my book.
Harry and his friends ate lots of really cool, very traditionally British, sometimes very interesting foods. These pumpkin pasties showed up several times throughout the series (Bucholz specifically cites the Sorcerer's Stone, chapter 6) and guess what? Muggles can eat them now, too. Sheesh. Nerd. Right here.
I will mention that I changed the pasty crust recipe slightly, as I don't like to use shortening. Instead, I just used all butter. Also, I mixed the crust mixture by hand rather than using a food processor.
harry potter's pumpkin pasties
pasty crust
1 1/4 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 tbsp natural cane sugar
1/4 tsp salt
8 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cut into chunks
4-6 tbsp ice water
1 cup roasted pumpkin purée
1/4 cup natural cane sugar
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Place the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl to combine. Scatter the very cold butter in the flour mixture and quickly crumble it into the flour until it resembles little peas or coarse meal. Sprinkle 4 tablespoons of cold water over the mixture. Toss the mixture together until it starts clumping together. If it's too dry, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time (better too wet than too dry). Gather the dough into a ball (you may need to turn it onto a floured surface and knead a few times to keep it together) and pat it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour.
For the filling, combine the pumpkin, sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Mix well. Preheat the oven to 400º. Roll out the dough 1/8-inch thick. Use a saucer to cut out 6-inch circles.
Put 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling in the center of each circle of dough. Moisten the edges with water, fold the dough over the filling, and crimp with a fork to seal the edges. Cut slits to make vents (you are also welcome to brush the tops of the pasties with an egg wash for a more golden-brown color). Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 30 minutes or until browned.
I hope you enjoy this little hunk of Harry's world. Pretend you're on the Hogwarts Express while eating these. Oh. And my very non-dorkish sister? Yeah. She is now obsessed with HP. It happens to the best of us.

Finally my favourite time of the year!! I'm so happy it's finally October! Halloween, bonfire night then Christmas! The lead up to Christmas is so exciting, as much as I love this season so much it has became super cold already! However The trends that come out in these months are the best- fur coats, knee high boots, hats, scarves and everything else that goes in that category are the styles I love the most.
My aim for this month is to try get a green fur coat at a reasonable price! Harder than you would think, believe me. I got this fur coat last year and went completely off it not long after I bought it however that changed a few weeks ago when I told myself to just try it on and see how I feel about it now I'm so glad I did as I want to wear it all the time.
I paired the jacket with a denim dress I got from topshop a while back but struggle to find things to wear with a brown bag and Chelsea boots.
Jacket- Matalan
Dress- Topshop
Bag and shoes- primark
Thanks for reading, Hope you enjoyed it don't forget to follow my blog if you like it and share it.

JACKSON — Now that legislators have approved Gov. Ronnie Musgrove's new economic development plan, more tedious work follows: implementation of the Advantage Mississippi Initiative.
"Some parts of the bill will become effective immediately, while other parts won't become effective until Jan. 1," said Sherry Vance, spokesperson for the newly named Mississippi Development Authority. "Basically, the name change goes into effect immediately. However, we can utilize both names as necessary. For a while, we'll use both until the move to our new location is complete."
Legislation effective Jan. 1 includes the Growth and Prosperity Act (GAP) and amendments to the Jobs Tax Credit Program and Basic Skills Training Tax Credit Program.
"It's normal to set the effective date for tax-related legislation for the beginning of a new tax year — Jan. 1," said Steve Pittman, MDA staff attorney.
In the Basic Skills Training Tax Credits amendments, employers would receive a 50% income tax credit for providing certain basic skills to employees, with training provided or approved by the employer's community and junior college district.
Under GAP, county supervisor districts are eligible to participate if 30% or more of the population on June 30, 2000, is at or below the federal poverty level and the district is adjacent to a participating county. Designated counties could offer temporary relief from property, franchise, income and sales taxes to certain businesses, with tax exemptions that could last 10 years or until Dec. 31, 2015, whichever is first. Eligible tax exemptions would not include local property taxes that help fund public schools.
So far, only a few economic developers have called about legalities or technicalities of various programs, Pittman said.
"We've had a couple of calls from developers relative to the GAP program — about which counties are eligible right now and how the bill's supervisory districts will work," he said.
The remainder of the bill, primarily the Mississippi Advantage Jobs Act, ACE Fund, the Regional Economic Development Act and other amendments, and the name change of the Mississippi Department of Economic and Community Development to the Mississippi Development Authority, is effective immediately, Pittman said.
The Mississippi Advantage Jobs Act allows qualified businesses and industries to receive a rebate of up to 4% of the business' gross payroll (the governor asked for 5%). Businesses and industries must create jobs that pay salaries equal to 125% of the most recently published average annual state or county wage, whichever is less, provide a MDA-approved basic health plan, and include applications for the tax break that reflects whether or not a retirement plan will be furnished. Businesses and industries in counties with unemployment at 150% of the state rate must create at least 10 high-paying jobs, while businesses and industries in other counties must establish at least 25 high-paying jobs.
Local economic development entities could apply for grants from the ACE fund to help expand businesses, and interested businesses must apply first to a local economic development entity, proving they are an economic development opportunity. Rules for the ACE fund must be submitted by MDA to a 10-member committee, consisting of five members each from the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means committees. The money must be requested by MDA during the 2001 Legislature.
In the Regional Economic Development Act, local governments, defined as cities and counties, can join others in Mississippi and those in other states to create regional economic development alliances with MDA authorization. MDA must approve or decline applications within six months of receiving them. Governments would share in the cost and profits derived from an economic development project and could pledge revenue from an economic development project to secure the payment of money borrowed for the project.
The Small Municipalities and Limited Population Counties Initiative allows MDA to use at least $1 million of a portion of money borrowed through the Mississippi Business Investment Act to help cities with 10,000 or fewer residents, or counties with 30,000 or fewer residents, complete infrastructure projects.
"For now, we'll be terribly busy writing the rules and regulations for all of these programs," Pittman said. "For programs effective on passage, we will have to work as quickly as we can to get the rules and regs in place. Then, we have to follow the Administrative Procedures Act to get them promulgated and get them officially adopted. There's a timeline of about 60 days through the secretary of state's office."
Because several sections effective upon passage are amendments to current law, the rules and regulations are already in place and should provide a "seamless change," Pittman said.

Regular bowel movements sound heavenly to those who suffer with severe constipation. In fact, chronic pain can at times be a minor problem compared to the bloated, backed-up feeling after going days without a bowel movement. Certain steps will help to alleviate the constipation. Each step is increasingly aggressive. And depending on how severe the problem is, you may need medical help. Follow each successive step to help relieve your constipation problem.
Step 1: Change what you eat and drink. By avoiding drinks that cause dehydration like alcohol and coffee, you can start to aggressively hydrate your body with water. Dehydration is the most common cause for constipation. Adding more fiber to your diet with fruits and vegetables also helps too.
Step 2: Try some herbal remedies. Certain nutritional supplements like senna and flaxseed oil can effectively stimulate the bowels to move. Even some teas are marketed to support bowel health like "Smooth Move Tea".
Step 3: Use less medications. Many types of medications used to treat chronic pain also cause constipation. The more of these types of constipating medications used, the more likely the constipation will be severe. Because side effects to medications are usually related to dose, the more medicine that is taken then the more severe the problem will be. In turn, the less medicine that is taken then the less severe the problem will be. Just reducing the dose by twenty percent can make huge difference in how often the bowels move.
Step 4: Try some over-the-counter laxatives. If none of the above steps have worked, then it is time to get a little more aggressive with use of medications designed to stimulate bowel movements. Polyethylene glycol is found in powders like "Miralax". This powder causes water retention in the bowel which produces a laxative effect. Bisacodyl which is found in products like "Dulcolax" causes the bowels to actually move more. For that reason, people experience more cramping with Bisacodyl than they do with Polyethylene glycol. Of note, docusate sodium which is found in "Colace" is not a laxative but it does soften the stools especially when taken with plenty of water.
Step 5: Consider prescription drugs. If the constipation is severe, chances are that prescription medications might be necessary. Two oldies but goodies are Magnesium Citrate and Lactulose. An initial full dose might be required to get the bowels jump-started followed by daily small doses to keep it moving. The newest medication on the market targets constipation caused by opioids. It is called Relistor. This daily injection can be a real life-saver for those with chronic pain taking large doses of opioids to control the pain, yet struggling to keep the bowels moving.
Step 7: Attack the problem from below. Suppositories and enemas can also remedy the problem. At times, medications taken by mouth are just not enough and an attack from the bowels below is necessary. Rectally applied remedies step may require assistance from a health care provider.
Step 8: Manual fecal disimpaction. If all else fails and the bowels are severely impacted, a gloved finger may be needed to start scooping the poop. This step absolutely requires medical assistance and sometimes sedation.
Each of these steps is designed to keep you from miserably suffering from constipation. The earlier you start following these steps the less likely you will end up needing step six, seven or eight. Constipation usually happens to anyone experiencing chronic pain but it does not have to significantly impact your life.

Heat Stress
Body regulation of heat
Heat is produced from normal daily activities such as:
- Heart beating
- Kidneys making urine (a body's metabolism)
- Food digestion
- Exercise
Heat loss is achieved by a number of means:
- Panting
- Increased respiration rate
- Loss of appetite
- Dilation of skin blood vessels
- Inactivity
- Seeking cool places
- Drinking water
Clinical signs
- Temperature > 41 degrees
- Panting
- Dark gum colour
- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea (often bloody)
- Shock
- Collapse
- Loss of consciousness
- Loss of body's normal control of body temperature regulation
Nearly all cases of heat stress have a pre-existing disease present such as:
- Upper airway disease
- Cardiovascular disease
- Fever from an infection
- Dehydration from vomiting and/or diarrhoea
- Obesity
- Previous episode of heat stroke causing permanent damage to the brains control centre for heat regulation
Heat stroke in a previously healthy animal occurs in the following conditions:
- Over exertion e.g. marathon runners
- Locked in cars/poorly ventilated cages
Effects of heat stroke on the body organs
Untreated heat stroke can cause major damage to the internal organs of the body:
- Brain damage
- Blood clotting problems- early or some days later
- Bloody watery diarrhoea
- Liver damage
- Kidney damage
Immediate reduction in body temperature is critical to the survival of heat stroke patients.
Preferred methods include:
- Ice bags over large blood vessels in the upper groin (femoral vein) &/or neck (jugular vein)
- Head cooling
- Covering part of the body (NOT the entire body) in a wet towel and placing in front of a fan
NB Remove the wet towel and dry the patient once the temperature reaches 39 degrees to avoid the temperature overshooting & going below normal.
Transfer to a veterinary hospital A.S.A.P. for further treatment involving:
- I.V. drips to correct dehydration and shock
- Blood and urine tests
- Cortisone injections
- Continual intensive care monitoring
- Stop at first signs of stress and adopt cooling down procedures
- Do not race if recent or current illness present
- Good ventilation in transport vehicles
- Check dogs are well hydrated before a race
- Avoid exercise in hot/humid conditions
- Build-up exercise program gradually

Public Health Emergency - Leading a Nation Prepared
Regional Emergency Coordinators (RECs) serve as ASPR's primary representatives throughout the country at the regional level. Building relationships with federal, state, local, tribal and territorial officials and healthcare representatives (partners and stakeholders) in order to conduct planning for effective federal emergency response, and to facilitate coordinated preparedness and response activities for public health and medical emergencies, is the main role of the RECs. This is accomplished in a variety of ways to include: enhancing cross discipline integration among public health and medical and emergency management partners; providing situational awareness to headquarters responding to events and providing command and control for deployed Departmental resources and assets; and providing exercise support to stakeholders.
The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) and its predecessor organizations have placed emergency coordinators in each of the Health and Human Services (HHS) regions for over 15 years. Today, there are RECs throughout the country, and each region has its own unique regional preparedness concerns. With a wide variety of backgrounds including healthcare, emergency management, environmental health, public administration, human services, public health, and engineering, the RECs offer a wealth of skills and experience in emergency planning and response. For more information about the program, please contact us via the Regional Emergency Coordinators Comment Form.

In the 90s, Mayle wrote a magazine column called Acquired Tastes on the finer things in life. A collection of the columns is available in online bookstores. Although Mayle wrote the pieces two decades ago, they remain informative and enjoyable.
Mayle's love of food and drink was apparent in his books on Provence, where he lived for many years after giving up an advertising career in New York. In Acquired Tastes, he also holds forth on fashion. Among others, there is a delectable piece on Charvet shirts ("and so it was with a light step and a trembling wallet that I went to pay a call on Charvet..."). And one on handmade shoes ("You are not here to buy and run. You are committing your feet to posterity, and you must allow at least an hour for your first visit....").
Charvet, headquartered on Place Vendome in Paris, and whose cheapest shirts cost about Rs 25,000, are an indulgence. But handmade shoes, one learns from the book, are an investment. And also an experience. Every detail and the smallest deformity of your feet are noted. The dossier is in permanent possession of the shoemaker. It takes months to deliver the shoes. And you will be called for trials. But once you wear the final product, Mayle suggests, you won't even feel the shoes on your feet. They are that comfortable Besides, they can last 10 to 20 years. Just ensure you take them for an annual servicing, where "they will be received in the same way that a nursing home welcomes a rich hypochondriac". So while you may have spent, say, Rs 75,000 on a pair, you don't have to buy a shoe for a decade or two. That works out to Rs 4,000-8,000 a year, an amount affordable to most in the corporate world, and which many spend on shoes every year anyway.
Acquired Tastes also has a chapter on bespoke clothing. What comes through in each column is the quality of service offered at these establishments. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable about the product. This is an area in which India is still found wanting. Now and then I visit the luxury stores in Mumbai, mostly just for the experience. But at times the service is short of world class. And there are occasions when the knowledge of product is shallow. The attendant, still a work-in-progress, stumbles through rehearsed descriptions. A real engagement with the product and customer is missing.
On the other hand, some of the stores are a joy to visit. And when the trembling wallet can afford it, the service is rewarded with a purchase. There is one problem, though. Peter Mayle walked out of Charvet and repaired to the Hemingway bar in the Ritz Carlton across the street. A Mumbaikar steps out into smog coughed out by Deonar.

Ants are some of the most sturdy bugs worldwide. Eradicating the entire nest will be crucial if you want to prevent an ant infestation. Ants amounting to thousands could be hatched each day in a nest which houses an ant queen, so dealing with numerous colonies will be very difficult. To kill all the ants fully, you should use poison that could be transported by the ants to their colonies to contaminate all of the others.
An additional very similar pest that causes a tremendous annoyance will be termites. Ants and termites vary largely in terms of their habits and threats they cause to us. As scavengers, ants will frequently seek out leftover food and transport them back to the nest be shared among others. Termites can endure a great deal more easily considering that the stuff they feast upon tend to be larger in variety. Solid wood and at times grass can be eaten by termites. Termites are very dreadful mainly for that reason. A timber-structured construction or perhaps property will probably be most significantly impacted by a termite infestation.
Roaches are really typical bugs that property owners have to face as well. Since roaches possess the capacity for transmitting tons of bacteria that may cause a number of illnesses, they are commonly dreaded. Toxic baits or perhaps traps made exclusively to eliminate roaches are going to be needed for productive effects. After that's done, you have to take preventative steps like sealing off any fractures in the walls as roaches may easily breed in dimly lit and cramped areas. Should you have a lot of cabinetry or drawers within your kitchen area, you have to be especially mindful when preparing your food since roach waste can consist of extremely infectious bacteria like E. coli that can lead to severe dehydration or any other signs and symptoms that require hospitalization. After many rounds of roach infestations at home, we have become experts at getting rid of them. Learn how we managed to get rid of roaches in our home the quick and effective way. Trust me when I say there are no longer any roaches in our house! I'm glad.
Bedbugs are another kind of infestation that is very prevalent in specific regions around the world. These bugs prey on our blood when we rest at night time. Bites from these insects can bring about small pustules on the surface of your skin, that could successfully pass off as rashes. The bites by themselves aren't distressing in any way, which makes it much more challenging to figure out whether you're facing an infestation. In addition, you'll be in deep sleep by then, which means you wouldn't realize what's truly going on. A lot of people will pass these small red marks on the skin off as bites of mosquitoes, of which they'll proceed to dismiss. This really is part of the reason why it's so hard to distinguish a bed bug infestation. A worsening of the infestation by these pests is very likely to take place simply because they can hide within our possessions while we shift them around. The easiest method to kill bed bugs would be to get in touch with a bug control firm or perhaps an exterminator considering that their strategies are generally incredibly considerable. When infested, a major segment of your home will be susceptible to it because these pests do not have a nest to go back to. In the event the circumstances are terrible, you might even need to keep entire regions of your residence remote till the infestation has been completely cleared. Plenty of people had resorted to hurling out their entire mattress in their attempt to eliminate these little bugs, but that is not often the ideal solution. When your mattress has been infested, there is the chance that any furnishings or textiles nearby would be infested also and thus replacing your mattress will only accord you a small amount of time until the little bugs begin to repopulate it.

The product, Murine Earigate, is an ear-hygiene flush for adults and children that comes in 3.3-fluid-oz. cans and uses a reverse-spray nozzle that shoots fluid from inside the ear out and uses isotonic--a seawater-based solution.
The effort, via the new agency on the account, New York-based Duval Guillaume, N.Y., includes 15- and 30-second national TV ads, paired with a print campaign in pharmacist and physician trade pubs. There is also online and POP and other marketing and promotional support.
David Simpson, general manager of DGNY, says the agency was tapped to head the Murine Earigate account in the beginning of the year. Prestige, a publicly traded company, has a portfolio of iconic brands, including Comet, Prell, Compound W, Chloraseptic sore throat treatment, Cutex nail polish remover and Spic and Span.
"The challenge is to make ear hygiene as common as brushing your teeth," says Simpson, who adds that the product was developed by an ear, nose and throat doctor and is targeted at people who have chronic ear wax buildup as well as for the general market for use on a regular basis to keep ears clean. "Eight to ten percent of the population has chronic wax buildup," he says, "but we don't want people to think this will cure earwax. We think of it as an ear shower."
The TV spot shows a guy who bears a passing resemblance to singer Tom Jones trying different homegrown methods for removing earwax. First, he shakes his head, then lies on the couch upside down then uses a toilet plunger. The ad shows a product demo as well. The Web site, murine.com, shows a "director's cut" of the spot, in which the guy's efforts become more absurd: a vacuum cleaner, stringing straws together, putting one end in his ear and the other in his mouth and attempting to suck the wax out himself.
Prestige spokesperson Dean Siegel says that the company's strategy has been to purchase well-known consumer brands with a long history of consumer usage that are for some reason out of favor with their owners. "We buy them and put our attention to them," he says, adding that the company launched a new version of Comet, Comet Spray-Gel Mildew Stain Remover, in June with national distribution and advertising.
Bonita Bay Holdings acquired Murine and Clear Eyes from Abbot Labs in 2002. Prestige Holdings subsequently acquired Bonita Bay.

One more symptom of a tyranny:
Williams writes in the invite: "Joyce Krawiec, NC GOP Vice-Chair has been working closely with NCGOP Chairman Claude Pope and Speaker of the House Thom Tillis to coordinate this event with the closing of this historic legislation session and the passing of Voter I.D. The event will be followed by a reception in the Rotunda. "This will be a great opportunity to unite with our party leaders and each other to move forward with future successes."
It's pretty sad when you have to "sweeten the deal" with a promise of free food and the possibility of shaking hands with the dictators, just to make sure that more than 8 people show up for your "rally". Scratch that, it's not sad, it's frightening. It's frightening that the Speaker of the House would (once again) engage in a propaganda campaign to legitimize his rule over the masses. And to do this as a celebration of a bill that would strip rights from citizens is breathtaking in its contempt of Democratic principles.
Can we arrest them too?
Funny how moral mondays were launched primarily by the NAACP and other progressive groups. Long before the NC Democratic party chose to publicly voice its support of moral monday the republican party had already labeled it a political issue using outrageous and disgusting rhetoric to side-step the true purpose of the moral monday protests.
I wonder how many conservatives will be arrested
I'm guessing ... zero.
Yeah, those twisty-ties
won't be in evidence at this gathering. Somebody should walk up right behind one of them with a megaphone and say, "You have five minutes to clear this area or be arrested."
That would be awesome.
I'd love to see that happen.
"...the question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be."
Martin Luther King, Jr., Letter from Birmingham Jail
Check Craiglist
Be sure to check Craiglist before the event in the "Help Wanted" ads to see if someone's posting for folks to get a few dollars of easy pay just for standing around and holding signs for a couple of hours.

The Senator Theatre has been awarded a $300,000 state tax credit for restoration of the historic, Art-Deco style cinema house that was built in 1939.
The Senator is one of six recipients of a combined $7 million in Sustainable Communities Tax Credits, announced Tuesday by Gov.Martin O'Malley. The Senator applied last year, too, but was denied the tax credits.
Also a big winner is developer David Tufaro, of Roland Park, who was awarded $2.4 million in tax credit for his Mount Vernon Mill redevelopment project in Hampden.
Kathleen Cusack, whose father, James "Buzz" Cusack operates the Senator and also owns the Charles Theater in downtown Baltimore, said the Cusacks had to wait for the state tax credits before they could start renovatyion and construction in earnest. Construction is now expected to begin sometime in the spring," she said.
However, Cusack warned that although the award makes the Senator eligible for the funding, the Cuscks still have to convince the satate that they have $1.5 million worth of restoration projects that would qualifty for the tax credits, in order to receive the $300,000. She said is convinced that the state will approved the line items.
The expected overall project cost is about $3 million, Kathleen Cusack said. The Senator has already qualified for $400,000 in federal tax credits, to be paid out over time, and the Cusacks are making an equity investment of about $900,000, she said. In addition, the city is loaning the project $600,000, and the Cusacks plan to take out a commercial loan. The amount of that loan has not been determined yet, she said.
The Cusacks plan to add three screens to the Senator, which now has only one. They also plan to add a small cafe/wine bar, Kathleen Cusack said. She said the project will begin "as soon as we figure out the details of the rest of the funding."
But she said the Cusacks have zoning approvals and permits in hand, and contractors lined up.
"We're ready to go," she said.
The biggest projects may be replaement of the roof, which "is beyond repair," she said. That alone will cot about $100,000, she said. The state tax credits are also expected to fund restoration of a ceiling mural and original interior paint colors, she said.
The Senator, long owned by Tom Kiefaber, was sold to the Baltimore City government in July 2009. The city turnexd it over to the Cusacks to operate at a token rental in exchange for their restoration of the beloved theater at 5904 York Road.
Tufaro's $43 million Mount Vernon Mill project calls for redeveloping an old 1800s mill as a mix of office space, apartments, condominiums, estaurants and parking in th 2900 and 3000 blocks of Falls Road. Tufaro's company, Terra Nova Ventures, closed in January on three of the four buildings that will make up the 250,000-square-foot "Mill No. 1" project.
Construction was expected to begin "right away," starting with the removal of lead paint and asbestos, and the 42,000 square feet of office space are expected to be ready for leasing in about 13 months, Tufaro' daughter, Jennifer Tufaro said in January.

The Wife-Beating Culture
By Sowore Omoyele
A few weeks ago, I embarked on independent research regarding what happens to our African cultures once we acclimatize to American life and culture. I asked new immigrants and the older "Americanized" ones, expecting different attitudes towards each of the issues. Conclusion: Africans when new in America strive very hard to look, act and speak American.
Over time, after people realize the hollowness, loneliness and reality of western life, they recognize that parts of African culture are unique and powerful. However, there is one part that must be discredited, abandoned and eradicated. It is the "wife-beating" tradition of some African brothers. They can restrain themselves while they are married to women from other cultures and backgrounds practicing "zero-tolerance" for abuse, but not towards their own.
I have heard stories of men from Africa complaining loudly about how law enforcement agents in the US inhibit them from taking control of their marital destinies and families. I heard stories of men still beating up their wives, who are expected to keep quiet and accept being beaten as the standard practice. Husbands tell stories of how they feel betrayed when their wives call the police or get court restrictions served on them.
All the African men I spoke with had something to say about their "culture". Almost in unison, they all confessed that they love to control thier women without interference. They all want a "house-wife" who can be shielded from liberties enjoyed by other women. They have not come to terms with the fact that women have civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights equal to men or that African women should be treated as equally as the African-American or white womand in the U.S. They claim that African women coming to the west want to be like white women and act like them by imbibing western cultures of independence. The trouble starts here.
Africans, like other cultures, love to live in their own communities. The communities in which some of them live support strong-arm tactics to control the household. For example when a man beats his wife on Staten Island or in an Ethiopian community in Maryland or a Ghanaian community in East Orange, New Jersey, if the woman sustains injuries and calls the police, the man ends up in jail or he is sanctioned by law enforcement agents. But the community blames and ostracicizes the woman.
African women living in the U.S. are therefore afraid to seek legal action because the community tolerates brutality. The structure of community intervention in place back home that would right the wrongs of African "wife-beaters" gets replaced by "chasing the dollar". One wonders why our communities sit on a moral pedestal and blame the female victims of "men's inhumanity to women."
I am not in anyway qualified to discuss wife and husband issues because I have never been married, but my conscience tells me that for too long African men have deliberately retained those cultures from Africa that suit our ability to retain power and control even when we all know that some customs are archaic, old fashioned, and outrageously barbaric.
In one of my conversations with one of the victims, a continental African woman told me that her ex-husband has never laid hands on his new African-American wife or her kids. Is this a case of selective propensity to violence against Continental African women?
Why should the community connive in these acts, either by silence or claiming outright that it is our culture especially when members of these same communities pride themselves as harbingers of modern civilization when they return back to Africa? My inner belief is that African men have deliberately retained those cultures from Africa to keep power and control even when we all collectively know that they are archaic, old fashioned, and outrageously barbaric.
I am a strong supporter of "Africanness." I am committed to a free African continent, and to strong African communities that retain our culture and values. But I will never support an African culture that denigrates the beauty of African culture, or its men and women. I hope the wife-beaters can hear me now.

Take a moment to remind your clients that eating a heart full of bonbons and consuming a calorie-laden, fat-rich dinner with their sweethearts are not mandatory activities. Instead, suggest that they start new, more holistic and heart-healthy traditions of their own. For instance, what shows you care for or love someone more than . . .
—a stimulating evening get-together with friends or that "special someone" to cook a heart-healthy dinner high in phytochemicals and antioxidants (dark chocolate and red wine count!);
—a vigorous walk through a nearby park timed to coincide with a vista of the sunset at the end (what an excellent mind-body experience!);
—a partner workout for couples who use your facility;
—yoga by candlelight with soft music; or
—a workshop on partner stretching and/or massages to help clients kick off (or cap off—hubba-hubba) the evening on just the right note?
Happy Valentine's Day!

a bit before 2020:
This website is under construction and will be ready with new works and updates soon.
I work with mixed media, often re-making old crafts, working on video art, photography, installation, and working in the public space. My work starts from my immediate biography, my family and their relation the old crafts. I try to understand simple gestures from everyday life; from cooking, simple behaviors and classic artisan actions. I love looking into my family first, but also in their generation, trying and catch their visual presence as reflected today. I tend to understand public space through daily actions and represent it in a different and clear, sometimes questionable way.
In the last years I am working back in Tunisia, both with the local art and Jewish community.

Blonde bikini babe Sarah Harding out of girl band Girls Aloud was this afternoon at the centre of a massive police operation, after she was kidnapped and tied to a railway line in a Lancashire village. Whilst visiting a friend.
The drama unfolded in Hapton, Lancs. Harding was visiting old friend Judith Puckerlipz and had popped out to the shop to buy a packet of chewing gum when she was pounced upon and bundled away by a mysterious mystery man of mystery.
The mysterious fiend, described by witnesses as looking like a silent movie villain, complete with top hat, tails, and a great big bushy beard, with wild staring eyes which were emphasised by half a ton of mascara, took his hapless victim to a nearby railway line, where he tied her to the tracks.
Using a white rope.
Reports suggest that Sarah Harding out of Girls Aloud put up a violent struggle, but she was no match for the fiend, who laughed insanely like a madman and made wild hand gestures throughout the incident.
Onlookers pleaded with the man to let Sarah Harding go, telling him that there would be a train coming sometime next month and that Sarah Harding would surely be killed stone dead unless he chose to release her from her white rope bonds.
The fiend ignored them, and he ignored the police too when they finally arrived, appearing to take great pleasure in Sarah Harding's terrified cries. As the police set up a table and tucked into some pies which they had sent out to a local bakery for, a terrible impasse ensued.
Eventually, the day was saved by passing cowboy, Clint McQueen, who dismounted his horse and waved his six-shooters at the fiend in a threatening manner. The fiend was last observed running away through some long grass in the direction of a local chemical plant.
McQueen then untied Sarah Harding and helped her to her feet as onlookers broke out into spontaneous applause.
Sarah Harding is recovering from her ordeal by propping the bar up in a local pub, down by the canal bridge.
Lancashire Police say they'll keep an eye out for the ruthless fiend as soon as they finish their pies.
More as we get it.
