Pepper Updates
It's been a while since I posted, so here goes:
Here's the ghost. Seems to be much happier in the 2 gallon pot. I'm still waiting for branches to start. I've been thinking about calling him David Bowie.
Here's the other ghosts which are still waiting to be potted up:
This guy was looking a little sad:
So I went ahead and potted him up:
The new seedling are also coming along well. Thank you again ottawapepper!
I had to thin the herd, they were fighting each other for light. I've taken over 20 plants to work for other people. The cucumbers are really hogging all the nice property, so a lot of those ones have been given away. Pretty soon I'm going to start moving more to bigger pots, so I'll be grabbing some 400 watt cfls. I'm thinking two to start, then another two in a couple of weeks.
Ya I just re potted a bunch of my plants over the weekend. My regular veggie seedlings took over as well. My tomatoes are 2 to 3 times bigger than my peppers that were both started last month right now, and my cukes and melon seedlings have taken over my pepper seedlings that were started a coulple weeks ago. Can wait til I can move them all out so they have breathing room lol.
Good Luck
Peppernovice, I started the ghosts early January and the jalapeños late January. I've noticed they definitely grow completely differently. I've been waiting for the ghosts to finally branch, but instead the leaves just keep getting bigger. I think they're on their 13th or 14th set of leaves and still no branching.
As for the new seedlings, those were started just a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to stick with 4 of each variety of pepper.
When it comes time for harvest I'm going to be collecting as many seeds as I can to share next year.

I think that a hotel should be judged not when everything is going smoothly, but when there are missunderstandings or problems. A good hotellier should be a problem solver.

I know the Auberge de la Ferme since the 80's. Then, it was a small, nice and authentic family run business.

If you want real quality with a true family run establishment, then you will not be disappointed! Cuisine is excellent, rooms delightful and location deep in the forest countryside, a true find!
We've been going to Auberge de la Ferme on average once a year for the past 4 years. The main reason of course is the food which is second to none. On our last trip I was delighted to find they had renewed their rooms. We were a last minute booking and took the last room in the place. It... More

New Draft Health Policy Of India: Comments by two public-health experts from Kerala.
Excerpts (total ~6 min audio in malayalam) of comments by Dr Ramankutty, Achutamenon Centre for Health Science Studies (~4min) and by Dr B Iqbal, public health activist and academic (latter 2 min) on the new draft health policy of India. The audio is extracted from a seminar on the challenges of public health care in India, organised as part of the state conference of the Communist Party of India (CPI) at Kottayam on 27th February 2015.
Mental health financing in Kerala State: an overview
The under-funding of Community Mental Health services in Kerala State gets media attention as District Mental Health Programs (DMHP) in certain districts are folding back because of lack of funds. Seen above are excerpts from a media report - article in Ente Vartha, Malayala Manorama on Friday 19 December 2014. (see PDF version here).
Another report (see pdf here) which highlight 'central fund crunch in NRHM allocation', says
The programmes of Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (IMHANS) Kozhikode, including community mental health programme, child development disability programme and child development services, which catered to thousands of patients in Kozhikode, Wayanad, Malappuram and Kasargod districts, are in trouble due to the fund crisis.
What is pertinent to note about such reports is that, matters relating to financing of mental health services, which are customarily relegated to the inaccessible policy spaces, are now becoming public debate. The report literally quotes figures like – What is needed is 1.6 crores, but what is provided is 50 lakhs. Such instability of funding is undoubtedly unsustainable for community mental health services in the state.
These facts are reflected in some technical reports as well -for example the WHO/WONCA report on primary care integration of mental health, dwells in detail on the inception (1999) and financing aspects of DMHP, Thiruvananthapuram. It says
Without an initial start-up grant from the national government, the programme would not have been implemented.
Following approval…by the national government, funds were allocated for an initial period of five years… At the end of the initial funding period, the state government was not able to earmark funds to continue the programme, although this was planned and expected by the central government. The programme continued by using some of the original funds that were not yet spent, and with financial support from the mental health centre …Now state funding for the programme has been secured for 2008 and 2009.
So, how much indeed, are the funds available for mental health services in the state? How is it being spent now? Where is it being spent? Are Community Mental Health services getting adequate funding? Or are most of the available funding going to institutional facilities? Lets explore…..
One way to get an overview about the "financing" aspects of mental health care delivery in the state would be to extract data from the annual plan (and the budget thereof) of Kerala State, which is available in the public domain. That is what, this write up will primarily do.
But before doing that lets us have a brief look at the fundamentals of mental health financing. This shall be in Page 2 (see icon below, can be skipped to proceed to main matter). It includes some basic definitions, about why to look at financing at all, and what are the key questions in financing which are relevant when we are thinking about the development of community mental health services.
We shall then zoom into the Kerala context and examine the current resource allocation pattern and look at the key questions that are relevant for the development and expansion of community mental health care in the state.This shall be in Page 3(click on page icon below). However you can grab a quick summary of the findings below.
Summary of findings on financing of mental health in Kerala Finding 1 In the absence of a strategic plan logically derived from the policy, the short term annual operational plans or the budget allocations themselves have become the defacto policy in Kerala. Such occurrence has been forewarned and recommended to be avoided in the WHO service package document on mental health financing(see Page2). Finding 2 Of every 100 Rupees of the health budget ear marked via line items for mental health care, only 12 Rupees of it is allotted for community mental health services in Kerala now. Finding 3 Persistent 'Contractualization' of staff in Community mental health services may relegate this service into an inferior cadre in comparison to staff in institutional facilities.
Advance Directive in end-of-life care.
Dr Babu Paul (IAS Retd.) was the chief guest at the Palliative Day observance at Caritas Hospital, Kottayam last week.He talked about palliative care with respect to the ethical aspects involved. He disclosed an advance directive which he had made for himself. See video excerpt below (~ 2min, Video courtesy Dr Manu John, Palliative care Dept, Caritas Cancer Institute, Kottayam).
I am 72, going on 73.I am happy in my current situation but ready to be called home by my creator any time now. I therefore make the following wish list.
I may not be kept alive by artificial life support systems except as a purely temporary measure up to 6 hours and for unavoidable medical reasons.
I should not be resuscitated…..
In Summary the doctors are allowed to undertake comfort measures. I would prefer not to be shifted to any hospital….No artificial or IV feeding at all. May my body go in peace and my soul rest in peace.
As advance directive in mental health care is being introduced in India by the new act, it needs to be remembered that we are only at a stage of advance directives slowly evolving even in end-of -life care in our country.

School Psychiatry: Charting the landscape of mental health interventions in schools.
My presentation at Central Tranvancore Psychiatric Society (CTPS) monthly meet at Kottayam yesterday, was on the topic of mental health interventions in schools. Prof Varghese Punnose, HOD, Dept of Psychiatry, Gov Medical college, Kottayam was the chairperson.
See above a matrix of existing mental-health provisions in schools of Kerala and see slides of my presentation below.
Panel discussion: rehabilitative, community-participatory and social security aspects of Schizophrenia-care.
See above some brief sound excerpts (~7 minutes) from a panel discussion organised at Gov. Medical college, Kottayam (MCK) as part of World Mental Health Day 2014. (audio was captured by me using mobilephone microphone:-)
The panelists were as below. Dr Lakshmi Gupthan (MCK) was the moderator.
1. Adv. G Jayashankar, Kottayam District Legal Service Cell (focused on mental health act, Reception order, Rehabilitation services)
2. Fr. Micheal Joseph, Kottayam Social Service Society. (focused on team based and participatory approach, community based rehabilitation through home based care)
3. Dr. V K Usha, Prof. Psychiatric Nursing Dept. (focused on family based interventions, emphasized need for including family members into the multidisciplinary care team)
4. Dr. Ipe Varghese, HOD Social work Dept, BCM College Kottayam. (focused on the need for advocacy for building social security nets in this era of diminishing carers in families and generating evidence for local interventions)

A prototype dementia-care approach through DMHP.
My presentation at SIPSCON 2014 (Indian Psychiatry Society(IPS), Kerala State Branch, Annual conference) focused on the emerging idea of integrating mental health care through community nurses in the palliative care program. A model for integrating home-based care for late-stage dementia was presented. See slides below. Also see newspaper reports on same: The Hindu Report; MalayalaManorama Report. [Incidentally it is two years since this blog was stated in October 2012. It is matter of great happiness that the blog got a mention in the address of the IPS State President at the annual meeting at Kochi. See text of the presidential address here. [added on 22.01.2015, the same published as article in Kerala Journal of Pstchiatry see here ]
Does Kerala still have a deficit for psychiatrists?
If the data from The National Survey of Mental Health Resources carried out by the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare which was done in 2002 (appendix 1, page 10 of this parliamentary document has data from it) is appraised now (12 years have passed), it might be safe to assume that as far as Kerala is concerned there might be no deficit for psychiatrists!
The survey pegs the
ideal basic requirement for professionals as under
i. Psychiatrists : 1.0 per 1,00,000 population
ii. Clinical Psychologist : 1.5 per 1,00,000 population
iii. Psychiatric Social Workers : 2.0 per 1,00,000 population
iv. Psychiatric Nurses : 1.0 per 10 psychiatric beds.
Based on this ratio, places that were already having excess psychiatrists were Chandigarh (+22), Delhi (+18), Goa (+12), Pondicherry (+5).
States with most number of psychiatrists were Maharashtra (486), Tamilnadu (262), Kerala (238), Karnataka (198), Andhra Pradesh (180).
Kerala had a deficit of only 80 psychiatrists at that time (12yrs back) from a requirement of 318, calculated based on 1 psychiatrist/1 lakh population, for a population of 318 lakhs (census 2001). Since then population of Kerala has increased by another 15 lakhs to 333 lakhs as per 2011 census.
But with the recent annual turn over of 40 postgraduate seats for psychiatry in the state (which has greatly increased because of the beginning of postgraduate training in the private medical colleges) it might be safe to believe that the deficit for psychiatrists in the state may have been cleared!
Implication of this aspect with respect to mental health policy of the state need to be considered. Certain aspects which need assessment are
- Ascertaining the geographical distribution of psychiatrists in the state and redeployment in Thaluk (sub-district) level and under represented areas,
- Continued deficit of allied professionals (see table below),
- Abandoning the hitherto doctrine of increasing mental health service-personnel by training primary care physicians.
Table 1 (created based on data from 2002 survey)
Some health-policy trends worth emulating for DMHP-Kerala.
The following are recent trends in the health sector of Kerala. These are directions which are worth emulating for DMHP.
- The DMHP is understaffed. It comprises of a 4-5 member team for a district -while programs like the palliative program for each district has anywhere from 100 -200 staff. The Kottayam district palliative program that I am aware of (see training program @Kottayam) has more than hundred community nurses supported by about 7 doctors from the health dept. One feature of the staff remuneration is that only the doctors are permanent staff of the government while all the community nurses are employed on contract – which essentially means less salary, no perks and other benefits and no permanency of tenure. It is know that such an arrangement leads to poor staff motivation, translates to poor quality of care and high staff attrition. The community nurses of the palliative program have organised themselves and constantly lobbies for change. The government has also taken cognizance of it. There is a possibility of regularizing this cadre.
Report 1 (Indian express Aug 11th, 2014, Kerala), click here for full report
The lesson to be learned for DMHP is that the DMHP could also aspire for such permanent cadre. As of now only permanent personal in DMHP are health service doctors who join program on deputation-all other staff are on contract including doctors in CHMP (NRHM version of DMHP)
- Creating a permanent cadre is a tough ask for the government because of the financial implications. Kerala has had moratoriums on fresh recruitment of staff and it is known that financial ministry is averse to creation of new posts. There is high chance that the chief minister's assurance to the nurses will remain on paper as just a promise. One potential way it can be achieved in a smaller scale is by re-designation and redeployment of existing and vacant or redundant posts. See this happening in the context of creating new departments in medical colleges.
Report 2 (The Hindu Aug 17th, 2014, Kerala) Click here for full report.
Lesson for the DMHP is that it can easily aspire for permanent cadre by doing away with the deputation system while designating existing vacant posts as special cadre for out-of-hospital care. Redeployment of mental health professionals who are concentrated in mental health centers should be explored as a policy option. Such transition should be made attractive to the early adopters via incentives drawn from innovative financing using DMHP money.
- Strengthening District hospital cancer care units in mission mode is a recent development. This is happening in addition to well developed cancer care institutes, medical college oncology departments and a successful community cancer care program in the form of well staffed palliative care program.
Report 3 (Mathrubhoomi, Aug 17, 2014, Kerala) See full report here.
Lesson for DMHP is that most District hospital Psychiatric units are not functioning optimally. This is despite the fact that we have a fairly good functioning institutional care in MHCs, medical college psychiatry departments and emerging community programs (DMHP/CMHP) in all districts. I am aware of at least 3-4 district hospitals which do not have a psychiatrist. Other district hospitals which have only one psychiatrist provides just nominal OP care with hardly any IP care. With innovative funding from the DMHP coffers, district hospital Psychiatric units could be invigorated like the Sukhuratham- Project for cancer care in district hospitals.
(More trends will be added in future)
Added on 22-09-2014
Less than 2 months after the chief-minister had promised the palliative care contract staff that their services could be regularised, the state has puunged into a financial resource crunch. The finance minister has said that there are 30,000 extra employees working with the gov and their would be gradual removal of personell and no new creation of post in this fiscal year!
See here. An excerpt -
Kerala government adopts austerity measure; rules out creation of new jobs, 7.5 thousand jobs to be scrapped
Facilitated self-referral as a case finding tool in outreach clinics.
Detecting common mental problems in primary-care via promoting self-referral: A CMHP experiment of influencing pathways to care by solicitation with a symptom list.
One out of every five people who attend a primary health centre has one or the other mental health problem. The fact that it does not come to the clinician's attention is unfortunate. Many reasons can explain this -at the clinician's level (skill acquity), the setting (differentiation of symptomatology), the patient (presentational clarity) and so on.
How health-care services can become accessible or inaccessible is one question which public health researchers are particularly concerned about. Pathways to care with its associated filters at the various interfaces of the health-care system is one useful framework to understand how care reaches or eludes the needy. Such understanding can help inform, influence and improve the accessibly of our services.
Pathways to care analysis at Community Mental Health Program (CMHP, Kottayam district) informed us that 11.7% of patients (see chart) were self-referred to the clinic. It means they found out about the schedule of the monthly clinics by themselves. They got the information by reading -the notice board at each Community Health Center(CHC), the newspaper announcement about the clinics, the notice board at the nodal centre (near ward 4, Medical college hospital) about the clinics.
We thought of augmenting the self-referred pathway by directly influencing the treatment seeking of people who come to the OPD. A small slip (see picture) which listed common mental health problems was given to every patient at the OP registration counter at CHCs with a request to meet us at the "counseling room" (https://communitypsyindia.wordpress.com/2014/02/15/). We did it at CHCs where the CMHP had less than 20 patients for followup.
We found encouraging results as many patients came forward to meet us at the clinic after reading the slip. Sleeplessness and excessive worry were the common presenting symptom in people who came via this pathway.
It is therefore concluded that handing out a slip with symptom list of common mental health problems, at primary care OP is one way to improve detection of minor mental disorders and provide early intervention. Services and access to care can be improved by this simple approach.One barrier that was noted was - many of the older people found it difficult to read the fine print in the slip.

Hi Ms Meow
Hi Ms Meow
I like your name.
I live in Ontario, Canada. We have only Walmart or Zellers from which to buy yarn. We have no yarn shops and our one Lewiscraft has closed.
This is not a small town, but it is sadly limited. Especially with our cold winters! We need more yarn
I think I'll just have to order directly from the Lion Brand site.
give me your e-mail and I can send you the Teddy Bear Set

I demand to know what grammatical errors I have, though then again its darr whose saying this so I should just take that comment lightly. I decided to stick to small words like what sperm said since I have to agree with what he's saying at how it's better to read a poem that you understand then to read a poem that you have no idea what half of the words are.
Btw, heres the poem of the week:
Hole in my Heart
Hole in my heart
What a heavy start
What burden is this
This sensation, emotion
That causes me such a commotion
What is this hole in my heart
That tears my life apart?

This is what my steadfast camera saw when I sat it on the road in Columbia City today, the first day of "it felt like spring!"
Added to Monthly Scavenger Hunt (MSH) August 2012 6. "Down The Road"
[Aranrdphotography], and 3 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Well, your camera was having a "sit in" but wasn't on strike, visibly! Interesting how it was curious to know what the manhole cover might mean--it being the point of discontinuity on the road....these cameras are so smart!!
Now I am a kind of mouse, running in the floor !!! splendid point of view !! I the unfocus in the background is great !! I love these bokeh of flowers !!!
Just starting to feel like winter here in the far south
Very interesting point of view! Love the red in the background. Glad to see there are no pot-holes there. And, glad to know you, and your camera were safe! =)
Love your pov and the red house is a great background !!
terrific pov. lovely, clean-looking street and manhole cover...interesting background. sharp and wonderful colors.
Love the perspective and your camera was literally on the road! Awesome idea!
Very creative - like the perspective and really love how the angle of the 'levels' change
haha, funny. and nice colors, especially the red house in the back.
Amazing perspective, such a clever Idea Nancy....Obviously not told as a child about playing in the road :~)
Fantastic POV. A great close-up with a beautiful bokeh. Congratulations for the spring.
Just before a car ran over it. ☄
Love this, my favorite kind of pov, beautiful bokeh!!
Nice and the red house and car pop!
this is a great pov and and the red car and house add something special.
Super perspective. That red house just seems to beacon us to come closer.
Thanks so much for visiting Columbia City with me! Next time we go we will sample Senegalese food, which is one of the many delights of the neighbourhood. I'm looking forward to it.
Daniel, do you think that was spring? No, I'm sure we'll have another day like it soon. Or maybe that will be summer!
Wes and Anna, that's exactly what I was thinking (about the skills of the camera). I didn't want to focus manually, because I couldn't see very well with my chin on the curb, and so I just let the camera choose what was most interesting to it. So much for my interest in yellow daffodils and red houses--it picked the best subject!
Billy, so funny! Perhaps I heard it as a child too much, and that's what's sent me there whenever possible!
LOVE your low PoV !! ADORE it indeed !
I love the way it seems painted. The repetition of reds, the green fire hydrant, and the dotted flowers... Very pretty!
Cool perspective!

Global nonprofit IT association ISACA today released findings from its 2012 IT Risk/Reward Barometer survey. Respondents in Africa report a growing acceptance of "bring your own device" (BYOD) in the workplace—a practice in which employees use their personal devices for work—while also acknowledging that they believe the risk still outweighs the benefit.
The IT Risk/Reward Barometer surveyed more than 4,500 IT professionals worldwide about the risks and rewards associated with BYOD and cloud computing, among other topics. When it comes to BYOD, companies in Africa tend to allow employees to use their own device for work purposes more than companies in other regions do. Thirty-eight percent of responding enterprises in Africa freely allow it, and an additional 31% allow it with limits.
Despite their permissive stance to BYOD, only 18% of respondents in Africa say the benefits—including increased efficiency and cost reduction—outweigh the risk, while 60% still believe that the risk is greater. Despite the potential dangers, 35% of enterprises in Africa still do not have any policy in place regarding BYOD.
IT professionals in Africa report that the following employee activities pose a particularly high risk to the enterprise:
- Storing work passwords on a personal device (80%)
- Losing a work-supplied computer or smart phone (88%)
- Using an online file-sharing service for work documents (68%)
- Downloading personal files onto a work-supplied device (59%)
To help control BYOD risk, enterprises in Africa report having the following security controls in place:
- Password management system (50%)
- Remote wipe capability (26%)
- Encryption (39%)
"Enterprises in Africa are very clear about the risk BYOD poses to the enterprise, yet they seem to be accepting that employees increasingly are using their own devices for work and personal activities," said John Pironti, CISA, CISM, CGEIT, CRISC, advisor with ISACA and president of IP Architects LLC. "As they are cautiously accepting BYOD, they need to take an embrace-and-educate approach, with clearly communicated policies and education to train employees to help protect both the enterprise and the employees."
ISACA, a nonprofit association serving 100,000 IT professionals in 180 countries, provides resources to help enterprises address this challenging issue.
"ISACA recently published Securing Mobile Devices With COBIT 5 to help enterprises address mobile device security, including BYOD," said Pironti. "By applying the globally accepted COBIT business framework to mobile device security, enterprises can better plan, implement and maintain comprehensive security for these devices."
Full results of the 2012 IT Risk/Reward Barometer are at www.isaca.org/risk-reward-barometer. COBIT 5 is at www.isaca.org/cobit.
About the 2012 IT Risk/Reward Barometer
The annual IT Risk/Reward Barometer helps gauge current attitudes and organizational behaviors related to the risk and reward associated with the blurring boundaries between personal and work devices (BYOD), cloud computing, and increased enterprise risk related to online employee behavior. It is based on September 2012 online polling of 4,512 ISACA members from 83 countries, including 325 members in Africa. To see the full results, visit www.isaca.org/risk-reward-barometer.
About ISACA
With more than 100,000 constituents in 180 countries, ISACA® (www.isaca.org) is a leading global association for information systems assurance, security, governance and management of IT, and IT-related risk and compliance.
