The Scottish Beef Association (SBA) has said it is concerned about the prospect of Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) payments not being made to all eligible farmers.
According to the Scottish government, the scheme acts as a "safety net" for farmers by supplementing their main business income.
Richard Lochhead, cabinet secretary for rural affairs, food and environment, pledged in November to deliver payments to most farmers under the EU's BPS programme by the end of January. Despite this, the SBA claimed that statistics published by the government at the end of January showed that only 24% of the eligible claims had been committed to.
It was reported that the Scottish government's target was for half of the payments to be completed by the end of January.
"With the high cost to the farming community, coupled with the exceptionally poor performance of the Scottish governments computer system, it is more and more evident that a great number of eligible beef producers are likely to face extreme financial hardship," explained Scott Henderson, SBA's chairman.
"Instead of making the initial payment by the end of March, it is envisaged that this could now be delayed – most likely to the end of May or beyond. This raises more concerns with the consequential delay in payment of the Less Favoured Area Support Scheme (LFASS), together with the Calf Scheme Money."
The government's computer program, which has been designed to process eligible claims for BPS, is apparently not proving to be an effective tool. Many farmers are said to have received confirmation of correct payments, only for them to be later flagged as validation errors created by computer inaccuracies.
As a result, the SBA is calling for an enquiry. At the very least, it wants the Scottish Parliament's Public Audit Committee to launch an investigation into what it claims to have been a financial disaster for beef producers.
Furthermore, the group say that the government has failed to provide beef producers with firm dates of expected payments before the end of the year. On top of this, it also looks increasingly unlikely that the government will meet their own deadline to make the promised final payments by the end of April, said the SBA.
However, Lochhead has since announced a £20 million scheme, backed by the government, to enable more farmers and crofters to access loans whilst waiting for their Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) payments - which falls under the BPS scheme.
Speaking at the National Farmers' (NFU) Scotland annual conference, he confirmed that more than 7,300 payments have now been authorised, which equals about 40% of the 18,000 or so eligible claims.
"I fully recognise the cash flow issues facing Scottish agriculture as a result of difficult market and weather conditions coinciding with the biggest CAP reform ever," explained Lochhead.
"The Scottish government continues to do everything in our power to get first instalments out to as many people as we can by the end of March and the balance of payments as soon as possible after that."
He also stressed that the government is continuing to do everything it can against the challenge of implementing difficult CAP reforms.
"We are making progress," he said. "However the extreme complexity of the policy we agreed with the industry in Scotland - which is being delivered by a brand new IT system that we are constantly working to improve - means it is taking longer than expected to process applications - and I am aware that as a result some farmers and crofters are facing hardship.
"That is why the Scottish government is taking further action to ease cash flow pressures in the sector by earmarking up to £20m to ensure those most in need can access the credit they require until their payments come through.
"We will work with NFU Scotland, banks and others to finalise the detail of the scheme and ensure it is available as quickly as possible and simple to access."

CARSON CITY — Some Nevada Republicans believe Las Vegas can and should compete with Kansas City, Mo., and other potential suitors to host the 2016 Republican National Convention.
With 150,000 hotel rooms, a busy international airport and more than 3 million square feet of convention space, Las Vegas could easily handle the 50,000 attendees of the 2012 GOP convention in Tampa, Fla.
But several hurdles need to be cleared, including meeting a local fundraising commitment to the tune of tens of millions of dollars and addressing the fact that the Thomas & Mack Center is not up to snuff for the events, said Dan Schwartz, finance chairman for the Nevada State Republican Party.
"We're exploring it," he said. "We've done a lot of work. If we get it, it would be a huge deal."
There is also the question of whether the city can convince the Republican National Committee that Las Vegas, with its reputation for gambling, drinking and adult-themed attractions, can provide the image the party is looking for in 2016, he said.
"It is a challenge, but it is also an opportunity," Schwartz said.
Hosting the convention, an idea being pushed by state Chairman Michael McDonald, would be a great opportunity to show the nation and world there is more to Las Vegas and Nevada than the neon and slot machine clichés and perceptions held by those who don't know the real Silver State, he said.
The idea of hosting the convention has gotten a positive reaction from members of the RNC in meetings with McDonald and from Las Vegas Sands CEO Sheldon Adelson, Schwartz said.
But Adelson's support has not yet reached the point at which a financial commitment has been made, he said.
A representative for Adelson could not be reached for comment.
If state Republicans decide to move forward, a host committee would be named by September to pursue the convention, Schwartz said.
The estimated local financial commitment would be in the $55 million range, with $10 million or more coming from Adelson, he said. Other funding would come from the federal level, bringing the total financial commitment to about $125 million, Schwartz said.
But the Thomas & Mack on the UNLV campus remains a stumbling block, he said. It is inadequate in its current condition to host the premier events of a national convention, and at least $10 million probably would have to be spent to make it usable, Schwartz said. The arena has 30 luxury suites, but 80 would be needed for the convention, he said.
An alternative would be a new,
$300 million arena, but there was no movement in the Nevada Legislature to pursue such a project, he said.
MGM Resorts International this year announced plans to build a privately funded, 20,000-seat indoor arena behind the New York-New York and Monte Carlo resorts.
Salt Lake City and New Orleans are also looking at seeking the convention, but Schwartz views Kansas City as the chief competitor.

Great! To me, it looks like their relationship is a lot better now. They're in love and moving in together. Some big changes in their life, right there. Like Annie said, it's going to take some adjustment but they'll manage. I'm happy for them. :D
| YoreReader chapter 14 . 1/6/2014
Oh no! Annie's parents don't approve of Auggie? Or is it just her Mom that doesn't like Auggie? Well, that's too bad. Annie loves him, so there. ;p
| YoreReader chapter 13 . 1/6/2014
So that's what happened. I wasn't sure why I never saw any UST between them. Is that why? Judith said it was inappropriate so Annie tried to keep their relationship neutral?
You know what I noticed is missing from their relationship (as in the show)? They've never flirted. I was wondering what was different and couldn't figure it out. Now I know.
But it doesn't matter what I think because they're getting together, yay! ;)
| YoreReader chapter 12 . 1/6/2014
Hmm, are they about to cross into the more than friends line?
| YoreReader chapter 11 . 1/6/2014
I didn't expect Annie to spend Christmas with Auggie in Glencoe, that was such a pleasant surprise! If Danielle doesn't want her, it seems Auggie does. I can't wait for her to meet his family.
| YoreReader chapter 10 . 1/6/2014
Oh, Mrs. Anderson is funny. I'm sure she doesn't mean to be but she is. I'm glad that in the end Auggie chose not to confront his Mom about following him around the neighborhood. She does mean well and it's good to know he realizes that. And he's right - he has the time to show his family how capable he is.
| YoreReader chapter 9 . 1/6/2014
I forget that Auggie's the baby of the family. That's most likely why his Mom coddles him. It's sweet but maybe a little stifling for Auggie. His mother is just being a Mom, though. He can get over it.
| YoreReader chapter 8 . 1/6/2014
Hah, my first thought when Shawna came in the story was: "Is she hitting on Auggie?". I know, I'm bad. Imagine my relief when she said she was married. My face went from this :-( to this :-) and I put my pitchfork away. ;p
So far, Auggie seems to be okay at home. I suppose that might change when all his brothers get there. I'm sure he'll be fine. He's home with family.
| YoreReader chapter 7 . 1/6/2014
It's good to see Auggie back in his apartment, his neighborhood and his workplace. Now he's going back home to Glencoe - hope that goes well. I think if he lets them know without blowing his top off, they'll understand. I think they're worried since they haven't seen him and they don't know how far he's come. Once they do, I think they'll know he'll be fine.
| YoreReader chapter 6 . 1/6/2014
Okay, that was a bit of an assumption on Nate's part. I think the offer was probably the whole family's idea. They mean well but they need to let Auggie go back to his life and live it. He's pretty capable, independent and smart. He's already having a go at it and succeeding. I'm sure he'll do well on his own. Nice to know his family loves and cares lot about what happens to him, though.
| YoreReader chapter 5 . 1/6/2014
Will Annie get to meet Auggie's brother? After they catch up, of course.
| YoreReader chapter 4 . 1/6/2014
I think he's got more courage in his bones more than anything. He's done so well. Of course he's allowed to have bad days! We all have them, why can't he?
| YoreReader chapter 3 . 1/6/2014
Awesome! Auggie had a great time and looks to have made friends with Stu. Now he and Annie have a social circle. Plus, his apartment is close by. Fate is trying to say something, Auggie. ;)
| YoreReader chapter 2 . 1/6/2014
I'm glad that Auggie continues to do well. Annie's invitation might just be the situation to get him out of his shell. This friendly get together is a start. I hope everything goes smoothly and he enjoys himself.
| YoreReader chapter 1 . 1/6/2014
This plotline sounds like a great story in the making! So far, I've enjoyed Auggie and Annie meeting and their handful of interaction. Now that Auggie isn't being rude, I think I see the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I can't wait to read more. :)

19 July 2010
The Prime Minister today gave more detail on his vision for the Coalition Government's Big Society agenda by outlining plans for a new Big Society Bank, and announcing the country's first Big Society communities in Sutton, Windsor and Maidenhead, Eden Valley in Cumbria and Liverpool.
The Big Society Bank will ensure that all the money from dormant bank accounts made available to England is put to good use for the benefit of society. By expanding the social investment market place and helping to attract extra private sector investment it is expected that over time the Bank will generate hundreds of millions of pounds for charities, social enterprises and voluntary groups to fund social projects across the country, creating opportunities for social action and community involvement. As a wholesale organisation, the Bank will invest in financial intermediaries in the social investment market, who in turn will increase access to finance for frontline, social organisations.
The PM made the announcement to an audience of volunteers and social enterprise champions in Liverpool at the first in a series of planned Big Society events, alongside Minister for the Cabinet Office Francis Maude, Communities Secretary Eric Pickles and Decentralisation Minister Greg Clark.
He also announced the country's first big society communities in Sutton, Windsor and Maidenhead, Eden Valley in Cumbria and Liverpool itself.
These four areas will now receive targeted and tailored help from the Government to ensure they can overcome bureaucratic barriers and take greater responsibility for the decisions that affect the local area and local people.
Mr Maude said:
Today's event shows just how much of a difference a stronger society, where people do more for each other, can make.
"The funds from the dormant bank accounts will enable us to start stimulating activity where there is none and also help existing charities, social enterprises and community organisations to make changes in their local areas."
"This is about a real cultural shift – we know that the era of big government, just tweaking things at the centre of power, didn't work. We want to build a Big Society where local people feel empowered to bring about the changes they know their communities need and they come together to change the things they care about."
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles said:
Today, we are turning Government upside down. Instead of imposing top-down diktats from Whitehall, we are asking people to tell us what they want to do to improve their lives. We will give communities the same support that we Ministers have - people in Government Departments to sort out the bureaucracy that stands in their way.
"No-one knows what's needed in Liverpool, Sutton, Eden Valley and Windsor and Maidenhead better than the people who live there. That is the essence of the Big Society - trusting people to know what needs doing, with Government enabling them instead of getting in their way."
The four Big Society communities have already expressed interest in areas including:
The Government is committed to give these communities all the support they need and is pledging the following measures:
The Government will continue to give new powers to neighbourhoods, including greater control over their finances and new rights to take over state-run services, and wants to hear from community groups and individuals who feel they are facing unreasonable barriers to making changes for the benefit of the local community.
moving a community centre to a site chosen by the community; building a renewable energy generation project; a community buy out of a local pub; providing community broadband access (Cumbria/Eden Valley)
transparency of local spending decisions; participatory budgeting for parks budget; delegating budgets to streets; devolving further powers to parishes (Windsor & Maidenhead)
boosting volunteering at a number of key museums; creating a social enterprise to produce films and content for digital platforms; developing neighbourhood media and cultural activities in poorer areas (Liverpool).
establishing greater freedom to implement sustainable transport schemes and influence the provision of local public transport; identifying 'place shaping' champions who can build good practice in greener living; supporting the creation of a project involving young people that invests in the local community (Sutton).

RAIL services in Sheffield are continuing to suffer overcrowding – with the city named the fourth-worst in England and Wales for the morning peak.
Morning rush-hour trains are over capacity by an average of 2.1 per cent on weekdays – higher than anywhere except Leeds at 2.2 per cent, Birmingham at 3.1 per cent, and London at four per cent.
The statistics have been issued by the Department for Transport and cover last year.
In afternoon peak times, Sheffield is joint fourth with Birmingham, with services 1.1 per cent above capacity. Leeds is 1.5 per cent, London 2.3 per cent and Manchester is the worst place with 2.6 per cent.
The statistics class the morning peak as between 7am and 10am, and between 4pm and 7pm in the afternoon.
Rail union the Transport Salaried Staffs Association said: "We have a ridiculous situation for passengers in the 21st century.
"They have to travel in cattle truck conditions with no limits on overcrowding while cattle travel under regulations which restrict overcrowding."
The DfT said it has provided more carriages for Northern, which provides most local rail services, and East Midlands Trains on its route between Sheffield and Manchester, which was overcrowded.
The Department for Transport report containing the figures said: "The statistics are based on passenger counts carried out by franchised train operators of the numbers of passengers using their services last autumn. They represent passenger numbers on a 'typical weekday'."

JPEG and TIFF files are the most commonly used files for image publication. Here is a brief technical comparison of the two.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) files are commonly used to save photographic and other continuous tone images. JPEG files support CMYK, RGB and greyscale colour modes. They retain colour information in a picture file (unlike GIFs, for example) and thereby can preserve the subtlety and range of hue and brightness in a picture.
The beauty of JPEG files is that they can be compressed selectively you can choose how much unnecessary image data (information not generally perceived by the viewer of a reproduced image) is discarded in order to make the file smaller. As a result, they can be more easily and quickly conveyed electronically, and will download more quickly on a website.
In most printed media JPEG images appear indistinguishable from identical TIF or EPS images without the use of a loupe.
Because the JPEG format discards data on each saving, it is important to save images as JPEGs only once. This is why it is a good idea for you to save the JPEG image file you receive in some other format such as a TIFF or EPS file so that your designers or commercial printers may further manipulate the image if required without loss of image quality.
TIFF (Tagged-Image File Format) files are widely supported bitmap files commonly used for both photographic and other continuous tone images as well as all types of line-art graphics and imagery involving text. TIFF files are saved for either PC or Mac computer platform use. TIFFs also support CMYK, RGB and greyscale colour modes (and their associated alpha channels). TIFF files can be compressed to some extent by LZW Compression which decreases file size but increases the time needed to open and save the file. Manipulating and re-saving TIFFs does not dramatically affect their quality.
Because images saved as TIFF files are bitmapped, they cannot be enlarged without loss of image quality (edges appear increasingly 'jaggedy' the more they are enlarged), although they may be reduced without loss of quality. This is why it is important to ensure that TIFF image sizes are specified to at least the size they will be used for reproduction.
For the above reasons, TIFF files can be massive, for example 10x the size or more of an equivalent JPEG file, and naturally take considerably longer to transfer.
For most purposes it is preferable to receive images as JPEGS. They can be delivered 'down the line' easily and quickly. I automatically save JPEGs at Highest Quality settings, but please feel free to request a particular level of JPEG compression if you want.
I'm also happy to deliver images as TIFF files, usually via a intermediary transfer site.

QSL INFO UPDATE FROM VU2PAI. Pai, VU2PAI, sent the following to OPDX:
"Greetings from Mangalore ,South India,VU2PAI address is: Ananth G.Pai, Bharath Beedi Works Pvt Ltd, Post Box 730, Bharath Bagh,Kadri Road, Mangalore 575 003, India.
With a heavy heart I wish to inform the sad news about the loss my beloved father recently. He encouraged me very much in all walks of life and specially he helped me and motivated a lot for Ham Radio. The reason for my mail is to request you to publish some information that I will give in this mail in your next news bulletin.
I have a small back log of the QSLs that I have received recently from about June-August as I was travelling to the U.S. in May-June to attend Dayton Hamfest, and I have not been active on the air for about 2 months since the death of my father. I am now QRV, and I will be sending all the pending cards soon. I once again request all DX hams not to send any green stamps with their QSL card. IRCs are fine no problem at all. I also read that it is difficult to get IRCs in many post offices in Europe and now the U.S.A also. But please do not forget to send a self addressed envelope or an address label with your QSL request.(More info on (QRZ.com) under my call VU2PAI)
I will be very happy to send cards via direct even without IRC or green stamp, no problem, I request hams to please use 3 or 4 beautiful stamps on the envelope when they send me their card. If possible they can send me 3 or 4 mint (unused stamps) from their country or any saved envelopes that they have from exchanging QSLs from other DX contacts to me. I love collecting stamps and stamps on envelopes. I still have some photo QSL cards from my previous activations like St.Marys Island (IOTA AS-096), Sacrifice Rock Island (Iota AS-161), AT0PAI,AT2PAI,VU2PAI/50 etc.
I DO NOT have any QSL Manager, and I handle all my QSL requests. Some databases showed a QSL Manager in Italy for me which is wrong infor- mation.
All QSL cards only for VU7LD/VU2PAI (Laccadive Islands) is VIA W3HNK ONLY.
I have also been appointed as the QSL manager for ALL VU stations since the last one year, and I will be happy to forward all incoming QSL cards to the members of the ARSI (Amateur Radio Society Of India which is affiliated to the IARU).
Best wishes to all and Seasons greetings in Advance for a very Merry Christmas and happy,healthy and a prosperous 2013."

Yan, XV4Y (ex-XV4TUJ), located in Mekong delta (south of Vietnam), informs OPDX this past week [edited]:
"Like last winter, I will try to be active on 80 meters around NA sunrise time (1300-1400z). I already have several good reports and even a couple of QSOs during last month, but the level of noise is still really high since the rainy season has not yet ended. I hope to have better conditions in December and January, but the stations who want to work me may need a lot of patience.QSL via OK1DOT, LoTW and eQSL. Yan's Twitter and Web page can be found at:
My setup is rather simple with 100W in a low-above-ground 80m OCF Dipole for TX antenna and an homebrew coaxial-made small loop for RX antenna. I will also try to be on the air for Europe around 2200z (my sunrise), but I have not a lot of spare time for this so don't expect me to be there every morning. However, band conditions are usually better at sunrise than at sunset so the QSO rate could be better. For more details about my planned operations (when I am able to plan something) will be available on my Twitter account @XV4Y. See you on the air."
Rudi, DK7PE, is now active as XW2CW from Vientiane until November 27th. Activity will be limited. Look for him to possibly be on 160 and 80 meters. QSL via his home callsign, direct or by the Bureau. Visit his Web page at:

BVAC cartridges jamming in Beretta PX4 Storm
Review by GMay. (Posted on 8/1/13)
Customer rating:
I took my Beretta PX4 Storm out to the range this morning to practice. The first couple of clips went ok but then one round jammed in the barrel. I had to take my gun apart and pry the cartridge out of the barrel, it appeared to me that the bullet was pushed to far into the cartridge as there was a "lip" where the connection was made. I inspected my gun to make sure nothing was wrong with it and kept on practicing. By the time I had gone through about 60 rounds I had 3 more jams. I've used reloads before and never had any problems but 4 jams in 60 rounds is a bit much. This ammo sucks.
Lucky Gunner is a great place to buy ammo and I've always been impressed with their prices and their service. I order one day and it's on my door step the next. They have got my business for life. I'll never order any more BVAC rounds again but I'll probably be placing another order with them today for something to replace that junk.

one misfire in fifty
Review by Bob. (Posted on 7/3/13)
Customer rating:
When I took these rounds to the range to try out in my new S&W, M&P; I had 1 failure to fire out of 50. The primer was dented but nothing happened. Glad I was only shooting paper!

text: Can anyone rememeber a release by Shades of Rhthym, released a little later in their career. I'm sure it or the ep was called 'Angel' or something similar. Not a lot to go on I'm afraid, it's just that I had it many moons ago and can no longer find it - and would like to get another copy. Cheers in advance.


text: President Duterte made a very funny mimicry of Foreign Secretary Perfecto Yasay's manner of speaking English in his recent speech in Ilagan City, Isabla, in line with Emergency Shelter Assistance's (ESA) relief distribution to the people affected in Typhoon Lawin. His imitation is so funny that made the audience laughed crazily. The mimicry was not that good but it was so funny and he did it in a child-like manner. Duterte did this with no hesitations. He looked like he did not care what the people would say and think about what he is going to do and say. He is simply expressing himself. He does it always in public. He is one-of-a-kind president. No double face. Not plastic. What you see is what you get. source

Why you should adopt a pet from a shelterPosted by Darren Simonds on Apr 12, 2016 in Adopt a pet | Comments Off on Why you should adopt a pet from a shelter
If you are thinking about getting a pet, you probably encounter a known dilemma: should you buy it from a breeder or store, or you should adopt it from the shelter. While buying a dog or a cat can have certain benefits, adopting one from the shelter is an act of kindness above all, and it has plenty of positive results for you, the animal you adopt and your family.
Animals end up in shelters for a variety of reasons. Many of them were found in the street and brought to a shelter by Animal rescue or individuals who found them.
It often happens that you find even animals of a certain breed or even with pedigree, because they were bought as puppies and then their owners simply got tired of keeping an animal. It also often happens that animals are taken to the shelter because of the family circumstances, such as death of the owner, a divorce or a newborn. Whatever the reason may be, there are plenty of cats and dogs out there waiting for someone to take care of them. When you adopt an animal from the shelter, first of all, you are saving a life. Many dogs and cats get euthanized even if they do not have health issues because there is simply no room for all the animals arriving to the shelter. By adopting an animal from the shelter, you give it a second chance, which it certainly deserves.
When you save an animal's life, it certainly knows how to appreciate it and show gratitude. By adopting a shelter animal, you will have a pet which will show you lots of love and make you happier. There is also a benefit for children when you adopt a pet, because this way they will not only have a loving four-legged friend, but they will also learn the value of kindness.
Many animals left in shelters are even house-trained, so you do not need to teach them everything from scratch – especially what to do when the nature calls. The animals you save from shelters are also usually spayed or neutered and vaccinated, so you do not have to worry about that either.
The last advantage we will mention is that by adopting an animal from the shelter you will not only save life, but you will also save money. It is free to adopt an animal from the shelter, while for buying it from a breeder you should be ready to pay at least a few hundred dollars. Also, if you really want a dog or a cat of a certain type, it is more than possible to find one in the shelter, since many people leave them in shelters for a variety of reasons. However, the breed should not be your primal concern when choosing your pet. You should in a way allow the animal to choose you and go for the animal you "connect" with, because this way you will get a pet with whom you will be able to share love and lots of great moments.

Need some "reader" opinions. I am working to finish my set up of my blog and a new Etsy shop.
I am trying to decide if I should capitalize my names or not.
Hadley Kaden vs. hadley kaden
These are both fictious names and not mine. I put together two names I have always liked to come up with a name for my etsy shop. So it is more of a "brand" or title then a name.
So what do you think?
