there's life beyond beer in ohio city, say brewery district leaders
The Internet
Monday, November 17, 2014
These days, news not only frequently breaks on Facebook and Twitter, but social media can be used for crowdsourcing ideas about a neighborhood's future, too.
Sam McNulty
, owner of a half dozen restaurants and bars on the increasingly flourishing West 25th Street, announced on his Facebook page last week that he and his business partners are purchasing the former Orange Blossom Press Building. Now they're looking for suggestions as to what kind of tenant should go there, and they're specifically not seeking a bar/restaurant.
That's right, the people who have made their money selling you $5 pints and touting Ohio City's beer-driven renaissance say there's too much of a good thing.
Here's what McNulty -- who might be considered Ohio City's unofficial baron of beer and prince of pints -- wrote to his followers on Facebook:
"so we bought another building in ohio city ... our good neighbors and dear friends at orange blossom press had a great 30+ year run and decided to retire. when they told us the bittersweet news, we immediately put on our city planning hats and started thinking about what use would be best for this neighborhood that we love dearly and want to leave more fun than we found it.
so the four of us partners, mark, Michael, and Andy agreed that ohio city has enough restaurants and bars. we all know so many people want to move to ohio city but can't find cool housing and so that's a definite need, but this building wouldn't work for that use ... so that left us with some sort of exciting retail use or dynamic office tenant or.....?
here are the basic details on the building:
1935 west 25th street
-approximately 4,300 square feet first floor
-approximately 3,00 square feet basement
-probably the best foot/bike/vehicle traffic of any location in the city
we're open to any and all suggestions. feel free to send a direct message if you'd like as well. here's to bringing a great new neighbor to this great neighborhood!"
Got suggestions? Contact Sam McNulty via his Facebook page. And you can
drop us a line
, too -- we're interesting in knowing what you think Ohio City needs.

Larchmere Merchants Association
Tuesday, November 04, 2014
Anytime orange barrels get rolled away, it's a cause for celebration, right? The merchants on

new data reveals that travel and tourism is on the rise in cle
Positively Cleveland
Thursday, September 20, 2012
According to The Economic Impact of Tourism Study, organized by the research firm Tourism Economics and coordinated by the Ohio Tourism Division, Northeast Ohio tourism is up significantly
Visitor volume to Cuyahoga County has jumped to 14.9 million visitors in 2011, compared to 13 million in 2009. Those visitors generated $6.7 billion in related business activity, which constitutes a 12-percent jump in the same time period.
The travel and tourism industry is Cuyahoga County's fourth largest employer, with tourism supporting 1 in every 11 salaried jobs. In 2011, tourism employment accounted for more than 60,946 individuals, generating $1.8 billion dollars in wages.
Tourism in Cuyahoga County contributed more than $886 million in taxes, with $265 million for state taxes and $194 million in local taxes in 2011.
"The tourism industry is a major contributor to the economic vitality of our region," Positively Cleveland's President/ CEO David Gilbert said. "Visitors to our region buy local products and services, support area amenities, generate tax revenues and sustain jobs."
More on the way
With $2 billion in visitor-related development underway throughout Northeast Ohio, numbers are increasing in both business and leisure travel. Visitors to Downtown Cleveland are expected to double in 2013, equating to a projected six million visitors.

cleveland is best example of 'market city,' says smithsonian
Thursday, September 13, 2012
In the
blog, Sarah Rich describes "What Public Spaces Like Cleveland's West Side Market Mean for Cities," a lead-up of sorts to the Public Markets Conference to be held in Cleveland next week.
Rich writes that, "Markets have long been an important organizing principle for infrastructure, traffic patterns, and human activity in a city, but in many places, the grand buildings that once housed central markets have gone neglected, and the businesses inside are long shuttered. Where public markets are still in operation or have been revived, however, it's hard to find a stronger example of the power of placemaking."
These places are Market Cities, where public food sources "act as hubs for the region and function as great multi-use destinations, with many activities clustering nearby… Market Cities are, in essence, places where food is one of the fundamental building blocks of urban life -- not just fuel that you use to get through the day."
"There are a number of good examples of market cities in the U.S., but one of the best is Cleveland, where the century-old West Side Market has become a key engine in the city's revitalization. The market building itself is one of Cleveland's finest architectural gems -- a vast, red-brick terminal with stunningly high vaulted ceilings, book-ended with massive, arched windows."
"The West Side Market is now just one (albeit sizeable) node in a buzzing network of food-related endeavors -- restaurants, farmers' markets, urban farms -- which are assembling into a whole new identity for the

A travel writer makes a visit to the North Coast and compiles a list of her quirky finds.
"Last month I traveled to northeastern Ohio -- around Lake Erie. The region is shaking its reputation based on the Cuyahoga river catching fire many years ago. Old images are hard to kick, but like other rustbelt cities, Cleveland and its environs is rejuvenating, regentrifying and reclaiming, with lively neighborhoods, farm-to-table restaurants, and a renewed pride in culture and history.
"Here, a few of my images representing some of the quirky happenings of summer in Ohio. The photos speak for themselves, I think."
Stops include the Greater Cleveland Aquarium, West Side Market, Big Fun, Melt Bar and Grilled, Polka Hall of Fame, and the Duct Tape Festival.

cleveland's warm-hearted cash mob concept goes viral
Thursday, March 29, 2012
Clevelanders are becoming familiar with the cash mob experience, which encourages consumers to converge and spend at locally owned stores. But the warm-hearted initiative is spreading to other parts of the nation, reports
"After the original Cash Mob in Cleveland, [Andrew] Samtoy's Facebook friends in other cities picked up on the idea and organized their own gatherings. Samtoy can rattle off a list of friends from Los Angeles to Boston who were the 'early adapters' of the Cash Mob phenomenon," the article reports.
"Flash mobs have been blamed as a factor in looting during urban riots. But now a group of online activists is harnessing social media like Twitter and Facebook to get consumers to spend at locally owned stores in cities around the world in so-called Cash Mobs."
The concept of a cash mob is simple, you are required to spend at least $20 at the chosen location (usually a small independently owned local establishment) and meet three people you have never met before, according to Samtoy, the concept's founder.
"The 32-year-old dreamed up the Cash Mob idea last year after spending time in Britain during summer riots that unleashed looting in cities including London, Manchester and Birmingham."

galleria grower gets nod in the new york times
The New York Times
Thursday, February 16, 2012
There once was a time when Cleveland's Galleria at Erieview was a bustling shopping mall. These days it is closed on the weekends and is down to just a handful of retailers, food vendors, and a couple of businesses according to a recent article in
The New York Times.
The article lauds efforts by the Galleria's director of marketing, Vicky Poole, to utilize existing unused space to benefit the greater good, planting herbs in retail carts and small plots lettuce, strawberries, basil, and spinach elsewhere, which are in turn sold to visitors and used in the mall's catering business.
"The shift to gardening began with the carts that used to sell jewelry or candles, where Ms. Poole, the director of marketing events, had herbs planted in the disused retail carts inside the mall. She learned how quickly aphids proliferate indoors (solution: release 1,500 ladybugs into the mall)," the article states.
Since the mall made these changes in how it operates, there has been an influx of visitors prompting new retailers to open in the mall. "This has been sustaining us throughout these hard years, but now we're looking at the potential of turning things around," Ms. Poole is quoted in the piece.

He will need an owner who can handle a dog his size. He loves to play and he would not be a good choice for very small children as he would just bowl over them.

You may remember when I came in a few weeks ago and I looked so depressed. I had just lost my dad and went to live with family and was not very nice with the other dogs in the house. Well I have come a long way. I am now getting along with other dogs again and there is once again life in my eyes, a smile on my face and some kick in my step. My coat is in great shape now and I am ready to move on to a new life. I am a Siberian Husky/German Shepherd mix and I am about 8 years old.

Antonio is about a year old and he is a Shepherd mix - not a very big boy - and even the Shepherd is questionable but whoever adopts him can do a DNA test to confirm parentage. He would do best in a home with another dog. He got along great with other dogs when he was here before and we saw no signs of destructive behavior but we did not put him in a crate - he is in a kennel where he has plenty of room to move around in and he had company. No issues with housebreaking - just tearing stuff up when they would leave him out of his crate - and tearing his crate up if they left him in the crate.

Kongsberg to Provide Navy with Marinized CROWS
The U.S Navy has announced it is ordering marinized version of the M153 Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS) from Kongsberg Protech Systems to fulfill requirements for its remotely operated Stabilized Small Arm Mount (SSAM) weapon systems program.
By optimizing the CROWS for naval operations, the Navy is selecting a combat-proven system that has been delivered on-time and on-budget since 2007 by KONGSBERG's state-of-the-art facility in Johnstown, Pa.
Small Arms Market - Global Forecasts and Analysis 2014 - 2019
The marinized CROWS will keep sailors protected from hostile fire while enhancing overall ship protection and providing unique operational capabilities including enhanced target interrogation and the ability to counter asymmetric threats. The CROWS will allow sailors to operate the array of sensors and weaponry from safely inside a vessel, instead of from unprotected, open positions.
"The marinized version of the PROTECTOR M153 CROWS is a platform that takes all of the lessons from years of combat service in Iraq and Afghanistan with the land forces and brings them to the U.S. Navy. The system increases engagement effectiveness and offers unmatched deployment flexibility across platforms and in any environment," said Rune Johannessen, Vice President of Business Development, North America for Kongsberg Protech Systems.
From harbor protection to littoral missions and into the open water, the naval optimized CROWS offers the same proven precision capabilities as those currently deployed around the world. The standard sensor package includes a daylight color camera, a thermal night camera (IR) and a laser range finder allowing all-weather, day and night operations. The target tracking and comprehensive fire control provide first-burst on target capabilities while limiting collateral damage. These enhancements allow troops and commanders to operate with greater confidence and effectiveness.
The KONGSBERG PROTECTOR M153 is the U.S. Army CROWS program of record, where the system has amassed over 10 million combat hours while being deployed on over 30 different vehicles with a wide array of weapons and sensor options. KONGSBERG will continue providing CROWS to the U.S. military for the next five years under a framework agreement awarded in late 2012.
The system production and technical engineering support of the M153 CROWS will continue to be carried out in Johnstown, Pa. The facility has already produced over 10,000 PROTECTOR CROWS systems, which protect troops while increasing effective range, precision and giving a decisive advantage in situational awareness.

Why can it be difficult to diagnose appendicitis?
It can be difficult to diagnose appendicitis. The position of the appendix in the abdomen may vary. Most of the time the appendix is in the right lowerabdomen, but the appendix, like other parts of the intestine, has a mesentery. This mesentery is a sheet-like membrane that attaches the appendix to otherstructures within the abdomen. If the mesentery is large, it allows the appendix to move around. In addition, the appendix may be longer than normal. Thecombination of a large mesentery and a long appendix allows the appendix to dip down into the pelvis (among the pelvic organs in women). It also may allow theappendix to move behind the colon (called a retro-colic appendix). In either case, inflammation of the appendix may appear to be more like the inflammation of other organs, for example, a woman's pelvic organs.
The diagnosis of appendicitis also can be difficult because other inflammatory problems may mimic appendicitis. Therefore, it is common to observepatients with suspected appendicitis for a period of time to see if the problem will resolve on its own or develop characteristics that more strongly suggestappendicitis or, perhaps, another condition.

Dem Senator: North Carolina Bridges Aren't in Danger of Falling
**Written by Doug Powers
To say that President Obama's justifications to sell the "jobs bill" are overstated would be an understatement. Even members of his own party are on standby with belt sanders to smooth down the sharp exaggerations that are troubling their constituencies.
From CNS News:
Reacting to President Barack Obama's statement last week that there were 153 "structurally deficient" bridges in North Carolina and that the government should not wait "until another bridge falls" to take action, Sen. Kay Hagan (D.-N.C.) insisted there are no bridges in her state in danger of falling.
"No, no there are not any bridges in North Carolina in danger of falling," Hagan said when CNSNews.com asked her about Obama's statement about North Carolina's "structurally deficient" bridges.
As for "structurally deficient," a term that Obama uses because it reeks of imminent danger, there's this:
The Federal Highway Administration applies that scary-sounding label to thousands of bridges across the nation. It basically means the bridge needs careful maintenance and repair to stay in service, and eventually it will have to be rehabilitated or replaced – or closed.
"Structurally deficient doesn't necessarily mean that they are dangerous," said Tom Crosby, spokesman for the Charlotte-based AAA Carolinas motor club, which lobbies for more money to replace old bridges. "If these bridges were dangerous, they would close them down and immediately begin work on them."
I like the way the Beaufort Observer phrased the Obama approach:
Obama appears to have undercounted his bridges. And at the same time – employing the deft spin that political speakers use when they spice up a little information to make a big impression – the president may have over-suggested the risk to public safety.
"Over-suggested" is great substitute for those who don't want to say "scaremongering" or at the very least "fibbing," but if the condition of bridges was indeed dire and required a $445 billion outlay for public safety, there should be no need to overstate the situation. Even the bridge that President Obama uses as an example to justify his jobs bill didn't fall because it wasn't properly maintained, but rather because of a design flaw.
All I know is that there must not be a lot of bridges in Harry Reid's district, because he's still in no hurry to introduce the "American Jobs to Keep Bridges from Collapsing Act."

Two familiar franchises battle in the National League Championship Series, and two upstart teams clash in the American League Championship Series. Here's a preview of both matchups:
The San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals will meet in the National League Championship Series for the second time in three years beginning on Saturday. Here's a recap of Tuesday's action:
Amidst growing public pressure, the Minnesota Vikings have changed course and deactivated Adrian Peterson, placing him on the exempt/commissioner's permission list and making him unavailable for the foreseeable future.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell continues to stand by his claim no one from the league saw the video of Ray Rice hitting his then-fiancee, Janay Palmer (now his wife, Janay Rice).
Legendary comedian and talk show host Joan Rivers has left the world with a little less laughter today -- the feisty television mainstay known for her hilarious candor and dizzyingly quick wit has sadly passed away at the age of 81, following complications during a surgical procedure.

Major league pitchers fire 90-mile-per-hour fastballs to home plate from 60 feet, six inches with routine precision, so you'd think they could handle a simple toss to first base. You'd think wrong.

Here you can find out about your MSPs' political activities and how to get in touch with them.
Nigel is a member of the following Committees:
Nigel is a member of the following Cross-Party Groups:
Member of the Conveners Group
To ask the Scottish Government what its assessment is of the proposal to reconsider the Aberdeen western peripheral route fastlink-A90 junction design. (S4O-03722)
The minister and I have discussed this quite a bit. Will he confirm that, although changing the Stonehaven junction as suggested would involve a relatively small variation of contract, it could not possibly be undertaken without the planning considerations, which might build in the delays that nobody wants to see? As the constituency MSP, I am not suggesting that there should be any further delay at all.
Can the minister confirm my suspicion that starting to export is far more difficult than carrying it on? Probably, most businesses struggle to see an overseas market because it is just not what they have done before.
This has been a long afternoon, but I will join the list of colleagues who have taken us around their constituencies. I hope that we will find that we have not only had a little lesson in geography but that I have gone somewhere interesting.
If I were to take a tour around Angus North and Mearns, I could start with Oatmeal of Alford. That sounds strange, because Alford is not in my constituency, but apparently the business, which produces organic cereals and foods, took its name because the nearest railway station was in Alford. There is now one in Laurencekirk. We find out strange things.
I could pop into Ella Drinks in Brechin for the Bouvrage raspberry, blaeberry and strawberry drinks. I reiterate the point that the cabinet secretary made earlier: we produce lots of berries, which are very good for us. If we do not want to eat them, we can drink them as juice.
My colleague Graeme Dey, who is the MSP for Angus South, is not able to be with us this afternoon, but I know that he would have picked up on Angus Growers, which produces soft fruits across the whole area, including in Angus, Perthshire and Fife, and Mackays, which produces jams and marmalades in Arbroath from those very fruits. I am sure that he would also have wanted to point out the Arbroath smokie and in particular RR Spink and Sons, which was established in 1715 and produces Arbroath smokies.
Coming back to my own constituency, I must mention the Glencadam distillery in Brechin. We have many distilleries in Scotland, but no member has yet mentioned today that those distilleries are where they are because of the water. That is the bit that the industry tends not to transport, although Glencadam has nine miles of pipe to bring in its water from the springs of the Moorans.
Water is also exported from the Strathmore bottling plant in Forfar, which makes use of the fact that the spring is quite literally at the bottom of what must, once upon a time, have been the garden. It is fascinating to see the pipe just appearing out of the ground, and that is, of course, where the water is bottled.
Those local businesses employ people and produce products that we enjoy and export. When I speak to people from those businesses, they pick up on one of the points that the Labour Party's amendment mentions, which is the need for skills. The food industry uses a wide range of skills that are not necessarily taught at home or in school. As a chemical engineer, I probably have the best qualifications for working in the food industry, because it is about process development and chemistry on a decent scale, which is exactly what I was taught to do.
As other colleagues such as George Adam and Jean Urquhart have mentioned, our generation does not, by and large, know how to cook. It was probably our parents who were the last cookers. Our children frequently have no idea of how to cook, and that is one of the issues that we must address if we are to deal with obesity and encourage the use of fresh food, because we are now dependent on processed food.
I will major in obesity as an issue, but first I will pick up on the issue of pollinators, which no other member has mentioned today. Members received a briefing from Buglife the Invertebrate Conservation Trust that pointed out that bees and their like are an extraordinarily important part of our food system. The cabinet secretary might want to consider, formally or otherwise, whether counting bees could be one of the national indicators. We count birds as a surrogate for biodiversity and fish as a measure of sea health. I wonder whether pollinators, as they are relatively big and countable, could be counted, or at least estimated, nationally as a national indicator of agricultural health.
Lastly, I come to the issue of obesity, which other members have mentioned. I took the advice of one of our national experts on the Scottish diet—members will know that I do that fairly frequently. Our difficulty is that the diet has not really changed much. Despite our best efforts, it is still far too easy for us to be overweight and obese. It is far too easy for us to eat too many calories—and, incidentally, to eat too much salt.
Although the figures might have stabilised, they are certainly not getting better. The Scottish Government is clearly ambitious in trying to tackle obesity, and I commend the cabinet secretary for raising the issue not only in the document but in some detail in the debate this afternoon. It is very easy to talk about our exports and products while ignoring an issue that is central to the nation's health.
Members have mentioned that tackling obesity is now probably as important as tackling smoking with regard to the costs to our nation. I commend the cabinet secretary for taking the issue seriously and for producing a standard for responsible marketing of food and drink. The industry will not like what we are trying to tell it, but it will have to get on board, as obesity is a problem that we have to sort.
We might need taxation, and we clearly need work on portion sizes, formulation and education, which is already going on. Those areas will all play their part, but the problem will be extremely difficult to crack, and everyone—including industry—needs to get involved. The profit motive is clearly not on our side. We need to find ways of persuading food businesses to go the extra mile to look after the health of the nation and—on occasion—to forgo that profit.
Good morning to you, minister, and your colleagues. I want to pursue this issue a bit further because models are, of course, always welcome but they are only as good as the original data and, indeed, the algorithms that people put into them. I am conscious, as the minister will be, that the portfolio that we are talking about is one of the highest producers of carbon for the money that we spend. I think that we probably understand that, but you might want to give some explanation of that, minister. In that context, should we put more effort into auditing? I ask that not because I want Government auditors running around the place but because I think that those who receive very substantial sums of money in our communities should perhaps be required to provide some kind of professional carbon audit for their businesses. Quite a large amount of carbon and of public money is involved.
It will do. We know what you mean.
I share your enthusiasm for those measures being carried out. Frankly, however, I do not share your optimism that it will happen. My observation of the world is that people do not change until you force them to. The opportunity to act voluntarily provides time to develop the methods, which would be useful. History suggests, however, that there must quickly come a point when people are just told, "You're going to have to do this." Otherwise, uptake will be too slow.
I would like to start with those words "abandoned or neglected". As I understand it, those terms are not defined in the bill. Presumably they have some kind of legal usage or possibly even a definition. Could you clarify that and confirm why it is appropriate not to define them in the bill?
Thank you—that confirms that there is an issue here. It suggests that there is a definition to come but it is not there yet. Is that a fair interpretation? Otherwise, the lawyers are going to have some fun with this.
There is a lawyer to my right—Rod Campbell—who I suspect will come in shortly. My position is that, if I were a member of a community group, I would need to have a working definition. Mr Thomson has just told me about a set of very understandable policy considerations, but I do not need to tell you—other than wanting to put it on the record—that we do not do law by making up policy; we do law by writing it down and knowing what it means.
My concern is that the courts will ultimately interpret the words on the page, not the words that you as officials or ministers or I as a parliamentarian might actually want. I am looking for some insight into how we are going to deal with the issue because I am not immediately convinced that what is down on the page is necessarily what we want. I think that, playing back what you have said, you may not feel that it is what we want either.
That the Parliament congratulates DEAP Ltd, which is a project based in Arbroath, Brechin, Montrose and Forfar that aims to provide holistic support to address barriers to effective job seeking and entering employment, on being awarded £457,874 from the Investing in Communities: Life Transitions programme; notes that this programme is focussed on tackling disadvantage and addressing inequality, and hopes that everyone involved with DEAP Ltd will be able to ensure that the money will provide assistance to people and families in need of support.

That the Parliament welcomes the news that the Montrose Air Station will commemorate its 101st anniversary between 16 and 18 May 2014 as part of Museums Galleries Scotland's Festival of Museums 2014, during which there will be re-enactments of life at the base as well as displays of aircraft and artefacts; understands that the air station was the UK's first operational military air base, as well as Scotland's first military airfield, producing many of the UK's most famous pilots; further understands that the air station served as a training base for American soldiers during the First World War while housing British and Canadian squadrons and, during the Second World War, served as a training base for Allied nationals and as an operational airfield for Hurricane and Spitfire squadrons; believes that the air station is a registered charity run on an entirely voluntary basis, surviving without financial assistance from local or national government, and that all revenue goes toward running the heritage centre; encourages people to attend this commemoration and acknowledges the value of providing opportunities such as this to learn more about Scotland's military history, and thanks all of those who have made the preservation of the air station possible, including all of the volunteers, the curator, Dr Daniel Paton, the centre secretary, Peter Davis, and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Supported by: Mark McDonald, Angus MacDonald, Bob Doris
That the Parliament congratulates Jessie Philips from Forfar in the Angus North and Mearns constituency on being placed third in the volunteer category at the International Journal of Palliative Nursing Awards that were held in London; understands that her volunteer work at the Macmillan day care centre at Stracathro Hospital as a care befriender has had a significant positive impact on patients, and further understands that Jessie greatly enjoys this work and that she intends to continue her volunteer work at Stracathro Hospital for so long as she is able.

To ask the Scottish Government what its assessment is of the proposal to reconsider the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route fastlink/A90 junction design.
To ask the Scottish Government what progress is being made on the provision of a grade separated junction for the A937/A90 at Laurencekirk.
To ask the Scottish Government what importance it attaches to musical instrument tuition in schools.
To ask the Scottish Government how it supports the fishing sector and what its position is on the suggestion that the European Fisheries Fund should be spent elsewhere.
To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to the Review of Scottish Public Sector Procurement in Construction.
The Government welcomes Robin Crawford and Ken Lewandowski's excellent report which highlighted a number of areas where there is significant scope to improve the way in which the public sector and construction industry do business with each other. Importantly, the report challenges all parts of the public sector to make improvements, as well as industry itself.
I firmly believe that we must work together to address the issues which the report has brought into focus. The Scottish Government, working with the Scottish Futures Trust, is developing a programme to deliver the report's recommendations in partnership with other parts of the public sector and construction businesses as appropriate.
I am asking the cross-sector Public Procurement Reform Board, which I chair with support from John McClelland, to oversee this new programme of work. For now, therefore, I do not intend to pursue the appointment of a Chief Construction Adviser. I am, however, happy to accept all of the other recommendations of the report, and shall ask the reform board, as part of its detailed planning, to identify and prioritise those actions which will have the greatest impact.
The implementation of the report's recommendations will represent a major change programme across the public sector. I am committed to ensuring that the Scottish Government plays its full part in supporting this programme and I strongly encourage the leaders of other public bodies to proactively consider the report's recommendations, to determine what they can do to develop capability in relation to construction procurement in order to ensure greater efficiency and deliver better outcomes for Scotland.
To ask the Scottish Government what discussions the Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure, Investment and Cities has had with the Minister for Environment and Climate Change regarding the long-term impact of flooding on the infrastructure.
To ask the Scottish Government what it is doing to improve agricultural methods and yields.
To ask the Scottish Government what the impact of the bowel screening awareness campaign has been since it was launched in February 2013.
To ask the Scottish Government what plans it has to increase the number of young women entering the workplace in an independent Scotland.
To ask the Scottish Government what recent discussions it has had with the UK Government regarding additional funding being available for flood prevention.
Recent weather conditions have presented significant challenges to households and businesses in many parts of the United Kingdom and it is incumbent on public agencies to provide effective support where they can.
In Scotland, the Scottish Government is allocating £42 million per year within the general capital grant to local authorities for flood protection. A COSLA Scottish Government panel will meet shortly to consider applications for this funding and make recommendations to the COSLA leadership and ministers.
In addition, on 31 December 2013 I triggered the Bellwin Scheme, which allows ministers to give special financial assistance to local authorities who would otherwise be faced with an undue financial burden as a result of providing relief and carrying out immediate work due to large-scale emergencies.
In relation to recent UK flooding announcements, the UK Government has not to date indicated that additional resources will be available to the devolved administrations, but I will be seeking clarity from Treasury Ministers about the funding position as part of my engagement with them ahead of next month's UK Budget.
