Public Assistance Timeline
Public assistance, or federal grants for state and local government, municipalities, and some private non-profit organizations, is accomplished in the recovery phase in a series of sequential steps. This program may take two to three years to complete:
STEP ONE: Local emergency management officials (often accompanied by a TEMA area coordinator or other official) must perform a "windshield survey" of the damaged area. This survey provides an estimate of damage totals to determine if the county jurisdiction meets Stafford Act requirements for requesting a presidential disaster declaration (state and county thresholds must be met (see Recovery Tab).
STEP TWO: TEMA Director determines that the disaster area meets the requirements for requesting a federal declaration and requests that FEMA provide preliminary damage assessment teams to confirm the damage. The PDA is accomplished by trained FEMA personnel (accompanied by TEMA and local officials).
STEP THREE: After the President signs the federal declaration, the Governor is notified and announces the categories of approval. The Governor then announces the types of assistance each county will receive.
STEP FOUR: TEMA then will arrange for an applicant briefing for each county. Applicant briefings include an explanation of the program and how to complete an application for the PA grant.
STEP FIVE: The applicant briefing is followed by a kickoff meeting. Local officials must identify the damage and propose projects to repair or replace the damaged property. Project worksheets must be completed and sent to the state (TEMA) for review and forwarded to FEMA for approval.
STEP SIX: Upon PW approval, FEMA may then obligate funds to the state. An appropriate contract must be in place before payment can be made by the state to a local jurisdiction. The state may require that work be completed before some payments will be made, such as long term projects.

I am looking after my brother´s 3 Discus, 2 around 8/9cm diameter, one slightly smaller. Please note I have never looked after fish before, I have almost zero knowledge.
I´ve had them about a week and they all seem to be feeding, and no apparent issues seen. No changes in colour in the fish. Filter is on, air brick is on, temperature is 29 degrees via a thermostat - The water was brand new 1 week ago when we bought the fish here from my brothers house, its a temporary aquarium, 60 liters. I am feeding them a small frozen brick of bloodworms every other day (I defrost it first in water) and a small amount of dry food on the day where they don't get the bloodworms. The first few days they were with me they didn´t move much and remained hidden then they started moving around the tank and they seemed OK since.
This morning, one of the larger ones has started swimming vertically, he seems to be unbalanced and uncomfortable. I noticed this around 2 hours ago and he is still doing the same thing now.
I´ve done a little reading on the forum and I believe one step is to give Epsom salts. Is this the first step or is there something else better I can do?

Whether you're a fan of the 9 mm cartridge or not, there's no denying the round is popular. It's nowhere near as inexpensive as it used to be, but it's still one of the least-expensive, centerfire handguns round out there, and for that reason alone there's a lot of shooters who keep some on hand.Freedom Munitions has started to offer some bargain 9 mm that is anything but cheap. The company's American Steel line, championed by professional shooter B.J. Norris--who is now the sales manager for Freedom Munitions--was introduced earlier this year as an affordable, reliable option. Cartridges are steel-cased, but with brass plating to ensure proper feeding.
Norris explained the impetus behind the American Steel line: "Freedom Munitions exists primarily to satisfy the high volume shooters need for high quality, cost effective range ammunition. Now, as we start to mature as a company, we're releasing several premium products such as HUSH, specifically designed for use in suppressors, and our latest innovation, American Steel."
Presently only the 115-grain 9 mm is offered under the American Steel line, but more bullet weights, types and caliber options are expected to become available.
MSRP: $10.75/50-round box.

Why Steel Studs Should be Used for House Frames
The frame of a house is always going to be one of the most important aspects of the construction because the frame dictates structural integrity. If you have ever walked past a house being constructed, you probably have noticed that most frames are created out of wood. But just because most builders use wooden studs to create a frame, does this mean that you should too? In fact, there is a strong argument for steel studs, and here are a few reasons why:…Read More »

The typical hiring process hides the best candidates. Use these four steps to improve your hiring process. If you have ever said, "Now remind me again…why did we hire that guy?" you know what it's like to make a hiring mistake.
Keeping the People Who Keep You in Business Part 3 of 3
Keeping the best employees is critical for SMBs who rarely have the financial resources to quickly fill a gap left by a departing employee or have other employees with same knowledge and skill set to step in.
There are five cost-effective actions that SMBs can take to retain the employees who are critical for growth and success...
Keeping the People Who Keep You in Business – Part 2 of 3
Everyone knows that turnover of good employees is costly, but do you know the cost in dollars and cents? There are two kinds of costs in the hiring process: direct and indirect. The biggest problem is that "cost to hire" is money spent invisibly - the costs are not on any financial statement and no one cuts a check to cover them.

There were many rumors regarding the ipad 3 release date in coming weeks of February 2012. Now it was firmly believed that announcement of iPad 3 in near future may not be a true news. Jim Dalrymple from the loop reports that Apple will not be releasing any information on the iPad 3 release date this month. He says " This is not going to happen, according to my sources. Apple will not hold an event in February, unusual or otherwise. That's it."
This may be a disappointing moment for the people waiting for next generation Apple iPad 3. The last week rumors were from some reliable sources but we can't say until the device is released. Below are summary of the rumors we were seeing from many weeks.
New iPad will come in two models J1 and J2 both corresponding to the Wi-Fi and 3G models. It was also reported by DigiTimes previously that code-names J1 and J2 are references to two completely distinct iPads of different sizes and including different technologies.
Release Date: Announcement in February 2012 and ipad 3 release in March 2012 since ipad 2 was released on 11 March 2011.
Retina Display: High quality pixel density screen similar to the one in iPhone and iPod Touch.
Quad-Core Processer: A6 processor chip in the iPad 3 with Quad core carrying an S5L8945X identifier
Support for LTE alongside GSM and CDMA 3G networks in a single device.
Design: iPad 3 will be looking similar to the iPad 2 so no big design change
Siri: Siri support to the iPad 3
Above are a summary of the different rumors about the release of ipad3, you can subscribe my blog below for latest updates on release of next generation ipad 3.
