Scotland’s Peter Whiteford shot a six-under-par 66 to share the first-round lead with Spaniard Alejandro Canizares at the Avantha Masters in New Delhi.
The 31-year-old from Kirkcaldy was only one under at the turn, but started the back nine with four successive birdies and made another from 10 feet on the 358-yard 17th.
Canizares, whose father Jose Maria kept the Ryder Cup in European hands at The Belfry in 1989, also made a late run, collecting five of his seven birdies on the outward half after turning in 34.
They lead by a stroke from Italian Federico Colombo, but former Open champion John Daly – fourth in Qatar two weeks ago – finished the day second-last following a seven-over-par 79.
That contained two penalty drops away from the trees in a triple-bogey eight at the 14th and then a ball in the water en route to a closing bogey six.
Whiteford finished 63rd on last season’s European Tour money list, with five top-10 finishes, including third place at the Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa.
He arrived in India after missed cuts in Qatar and Dubai, but made his only mistake on the 486-yard fifth, rated the toughest hole on the DLF course which last year saw local man SSP Chowrasia win with a 15-under total.
Canizares won the 2006 Russian Open in only his third Tour start as a professional and was twice involved in play-offs two seasons ago, losing first to Peter Hanson in Majorca and then to Miguel Angel Jimenez at the French Open.
Welshman Jamie Donaldson, seeking his first victory in the circuit in approaching 250 starts, is tied for fourth on four under with Indian Himmat Rai, French pair Gregory Havret and Jean-Baptiste Gonnet and Thai duo Thongchai Jaidee and Kiradech Aphibarnrat.
Ireland's Paul McGinley meanwhile was two under for the day with Gareth Maybin on even par.

- How to Apply
Welcome to the Division of Cultural Affairs Specific Cultural Project (SCP) Guidelines. We're glad that you are applying for a Specific Cultural Project grant from the Division. These guidelines are incorporated by reference into Rule 1T-1.001, Florida Administrative Code, and detail policies and requirements for the application and administration of Specific Cultural Project grants.
These guidelines do not apply to General Program Support, State Touring, Individual Artist Fellowship, Cultural Facilities, or Cultural Endowment grants. For information about these grant programs, visit http://www.florida-arts.org/programs/.
The Specific Cultural Project (SCP) grant is designed to fund a cultural project, program, exhibition, or series. The grant activities must support the mission of the organization and further the state's cultural objectives.
The Division offers four proposal types:
- Arts In Education projects promote arts and culture in education;
- Discipline-Based cultural or artistic projects;
- Culture Builds Florida projects directly promote one or more elements of the state's cultural strategic plan; and
- Underserved Cultural Community Development projects assist with the development of underserved cultural organizations.
All applicants must meet the following basic eligibility requirements at the time of application:
Have submitted no other applications for the General Program Support or Specific Cultural Project programs in the current application cycle (see application restrictions);
Have the required legal status;
Agree to comply with all application requirements:
Complete all proposal activities within the grant period;
Make programming and activities open and accessible to all members of the public (see accessibility and non-discrimination);
Sign and return the grant award agreement within 30 days;
Request approval for any changes to the awarded grant (see grant amendment request);
Submit timely and accurate reports (see grant reporting);
Maintain complete and accurate grant records (see maintaining grant records);
Comply with the requirements of the Florida Single Audit Act;
Credit the State of Florida and Division of Cultural Affairs for funding (see crediting the Division); and
Give notification of international travel at least 30 days before travel begins.
In addition to these basic eligibility requirements, there are specific eligibility requirements for the Discipline-Based Museum, Discipline-Based Professional Theatre and Underserved Cultural Community Development application types.
"In order to equitably distribute limited state funding," the legislature mandated, in section 265.286(9), Florida Statutes, that each grant applicant may only submit one application each annual grant cycle. The legislature defined applicant or grantee as a "nonprofit, tax-exempt, Florida corporation" or a "local or state governmental entity, school district, community college, college, university, agency of state government, or artist engaged in or concerned with arts and cultural activities."
Based on this, an organization may only submit one (1) Specific Cultural Project or one (1) General Program Support application for each annual grant cycle (July 1 - June 30). The Division will use Federal Employer Identification Numbers (FEIN) to identify an applicant organization.
This restriction includes applicant organizations that formerly submitted multiple applications from different departments. Such organizations must coordinate to decide on a single application for each annual cycle. If the Division receives more than one application from any applicant, the Division will ask the applicant to identify a single application for review.
To meet the legal status requirement, an applicant organization must be either a public entity or a Florida nonprofit, tax exempt corporation as of the application deadline.
- Public Entity
- A Florida local government, entity of state government, school district, community college, college, or university. Private schools, private community colleges, private colleges, and private universities are not public entities and must be nonprofit and tax exempt to meet the legal status requirement.
- Nonprofit, Tax Exempt
- A Florida organization that is both:
Nonprofit: incorporated as an active nonprofit Florida corporation, in accordance with Chapter 617 or Chapter 623, Florida Statutes; and
Tax exempt: designated as tax exempt as defined in section 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended.
The Division of Cultural Affairs will verify that the applicant is registered with the Division of Corporations as of the application deadline. If the applicant is not registered in Corporations by the application deadline, the application will be ineligible.
If the applicant is registered in Corporations but their status is not "active," the applicant must correct the status within 10 calendar days of notification or the application will be ineligible.
For more information on corporate status, visit http://www.sunbiz.org or call the Division of Corporations, profit and nonprofit information line at (850) 245-6052. To verify corporate status, you can review your corporate record online through the sunbiz.org document search tool.
For more information about tax exempt status, see Exemption Requirements - Section 501(c)(3) Organizations on the Internal Revenue Service website.(http://www.irs.gov).
IRS Determination Letter
Nonprofit, tax exempt applicants must provide a letter from the IRS stating that the applicant is tax exempt under 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4). Public entities are not required to provide an IRS determination letter.
The IRS determination letter should be included in the application package (postmarked by the application deadline). If the letter is not received, the Division will notify the applicant. The applicant must provide the IRS determination letter within 10 calendar days (postmarked) of notification or the application will be ineligible.

Arts in Education
Arts In Education project grants are designed to cultivate learning and artistic development for all students and teachers by promoting, encouraging, and supporting arts and culture as an integral part of education and lifelong learning for residents and visitors. This includes, but is not limited to:
- the learning and artistic development of pre-kindergarten through grade 12 students and teachers; or
- initiatives and proposals that help applicants to work as individuals or partners to carry out community programs and school reform through the arts.
The Division supports the view that the arts build cultural understanding, mutual respect, and strong communities. Arts In Education projects accomplish this by bringing artists and cultural experiences directly into Florida schools, hospitals, nursing and eldercare facilities, senior centers, correctional facilities, community spaces, cultural facilities, and other organizations. The Division encourages the use of Florida-based artists whenever possible.
There are two funding categories for Arts In Education Projects.
- Artist Residency; and
- Arts Partnership.
Artist residencies place professional Florida artists in a variety of education and community settings. Services performed by resident artists may include:
- teaching one or more aspects of their art form;
- creating or performing works of art so that participants may observe and be a part of the creative process; or
- relating their art form to other curriculum areas or disciplines.
Residencies can change the way a community views a particular art form and the arts in general. Artists engage participants in making art in a mutually supportive, creative learning environment and participants explore self-expression and the role of the arts in society. This process encourages imaginative thinking, problem solving, goal setting, and teamwork.
All residencies should relate to:
- core curriculum or Sunshine State/FCAT standards (for residencies targeted to pre-K through grade 12); or
- community needs and goals (for residencies not targeted toward pre-K through grade 12. This includes colleges, universities, after school programs, and cultural and social/community service programs).
Artist residencies should include at least one (1) preliminary session with the artist(s) to discuss residency goals, scheduling, planning, objectives, requirements, etc. This session does not count towards the required contact hours. The artist should be paid for this session.
In addition to the preliminary session, residency activities may include the following:
- an event that shares the core participants' work;
- arts-related professional development for staff, arts educators, administrators, and teachers (in-service workshops/institutes, seminars, etc.);
- related in-state field trip to a gallery, museum, concert, or performance for the core participants; and
- an event that joins core participants, their family, and friends in hands-on arts activities.
Residencies must have a minimum number of contact hours based on the grant amount requested. A contact hour is 60 minutes or one class period of hands-on activity with the artist. Residency days and weeks do not have to be consecutive. Use the table below to determine the required contact hours.
|Request Amount||Minimum Required Contact Hours|
|$10,000 or less||at least 30|
|$10,001 to $15,000||at least 40|
|$15,001 to $20,000||at least 50|
|$20,001 to $25,000||at least 60|
Residencies may exceed the minimum contact hours, as long as activities take place during the grant period. Residency applications that do not show at least 30 contact hours will be ineligible.
The Arts Partnership funding category is designed to support projects that will advance arts education and the development of long-term partnerships through effective collaboration between community arts and cultural organizations, social service agencies, and educational entities.
Applicants may request up to $25,000 for arts partnership projects that have completed planning and design work and are ready for implementation or expansion.
If proposals include computer, video, and technology equipment, applicants must show how technology equipment, systems, and programs are integrated into their specific arts education partnership.
Arts Partnership projects are not intended to fund the same project year after year, however panelists have the discretion to recommend funding for on-going projects.
Focus areas for the Arts Partnership project may include the following:
- School-based arts education;
- Programming that integrates the arts into areas not usually associated with the arts such as:
- non-arts curriculum;
- school-to-work initiatives;
- the criminal justice system;
- the healthcare system;
- community care for the elderly;
- underserved populations; and
- adult-continuing education programs.
- Programming that brings together different generations;
- Arts and technology programming in music, visual arts, theatre, dance, media and/or literary arts; and
- Community arts education.
Culture Builds Florida
Culture Builds Florida project grants are designed to support and encourage projects throughout the state in the four vision areas of the Division's Strategic Plan, Culture Builds Florida's Future.
There are two funding categories for Culture Builds Florida projects:
- Seed Funding: a new project; and
- Expansion Funding: expansion of a current project.
The Seed Funding category is designed for applicants to start a new project that fits within at least one (1) vision area of the Division's Strategic Plan.
The Expansion Funding category is for applicants that already have project activity in one or more of the key areas of the Division's Strategic Plan, but are applying for a new component of an existing project.
Applications in this funding category may be for a specific effort to:
- reach a new audience;
- bring a new component to an existing project (by adding new technology, new disciplines, etc.); or
- other expansion or enhancement to an existing project.
This category will only fund that portion of an existing project that represents an expansion of at least one (1) vision area of the Division's Strategic Plan.
Discipline-Based projects are discipline specific for organizations conducting cultural projects, realizing their stated mission, and furthering the state's cultural objectives.
Discipline-Based applicants must select one of eleven (11) discipline categories.
- Community Theatre;
- Folk Arts;
- Media Arts;
- Professional Theatre;
- Presenter; and
- Visual Arts.
The discipline category of the application will determine which review panel will evaluate and score the application. Applicants should select the discipline that best fits their proposal. Applicants should consider whether they are presenting or producing the activity when choosing a discipline category.
Applicants that produce festivals should select the discipline category for the festival activity. For example, an organization producing a film festival should apply to the Media Arts discipline while a cultural festival that is producing music, visual art, and dance activities should apply to the Multidisciplinary category. For more information, contact a program manager (see help).
The Division encourages the use of Florida-based artists whenever possible.
The Dance discipline is for projects that promote excellence in dance.
The Folk Arts discipline is for projects that preserve and present traditional arts. This includes performances, exhibitions, festivals, and other projects featuring traditional artists and their work.
Folk arts are traditional cultural expressions through which a community maintains and passes on a shared way of life. These communities can be job-related, ethnic, religious, age-related, or based on location. Folk art expresses a sense of the community's values and aesthetics. Folk art expressions are usually learned informally through a relative or the community and are maintained without formal teaching.
The Folk Arts discipline includes many forms and processes of expression including, but not limited to:
- performing traditions in music, dance, and drama;
- traditional storytelling and other verbal arts;
- traditional crafts;
- visual arts; and
Note: The Folk Arts discipline is not intended for projects that focus primarily on the following activities:
- research for scholarly purposes only;
- historical presentations or re-creations;
- exhibits limited to historical objects;
- highly choreographed or orchestrated interpretations of traditional folk or ethnic dance or music;
- contemporary studio crafts or reproductions; or
- competitive events such as powwows or fiddle contests.
Applicants with such programming should consider applying to one of the other disciplines. Contact the Folk Arts program manager (see help) with any questions.
The Literature discipline is for projects that promote excellence in the literary arts.
The Media Arts discipline is for projects that promote excellence in film, video, radio, and television. This includes film and video festivals, and media art exhibitions, conferences, and seminars.
The Multidisciplinary discipline is for projects with programming that presents two (2) or more separate artistic or cultural disciplines.
Artistic and cultural disciplines include, but are not limited to:
- creative writing;
- folk arts;
- media arts; and
- visual arts.
The Museum discipline is for projects focused on the applicant's collections and/or exhibits. Applicants may include zoos, botanical gardens, arboretums, nature centers and aquariums.
To be eligible to apply to this discipline, a museum must:
- be open to the public for at least 180 days each year;
- own or utilize works of art, historical artifacts, or other tangible objects, whether animate or inanimate;
- care for these works of art, historical artifacts, or other tangible objects; and
- exhibit these works of art, historical artifacts, or other tangible objects to the public on a regular schedule.
Museums are encouraged but not required to participate in the American Association of Museums' Museum Assessment Program (MAP) and to pursue or maintain national accreditation through American Association of Museums (AAM), American Zoological Association (AZA), or Zoological Association of America (ZAA).
Museums may include but are not limited to the following:
- Art Museums;
- Historical Museums;
- Multidisciplinary Museums;
- Science Museums; and
- Youth and Children's Museums.
Non-museum organizations conducting visual art exhibitions should apply to the Visual Art discipline. Multidisciplinary museums may also apply to the Multidisciplinary discipline.
The Music discipline is for both vocal and instrumental music projects that promote excellence in music performance and creation.
Applicants to the Music discipline may include chamber or jazz ensembles, choral groups, community bands, orchestras, opera, and world music ensembles.
Applicants with musical theatre projects should submit their application to the appropriate Theatre discipline (professional or community). Applicants presenting, rather than producing, should apply to the Presenter discipline.
The Presenter discipline supports the presentation of performing arts groups, individual artists, or other cultural providers.
A Presenter is an organization that enters into agreements to provide performances or other cultural activities. The organization generally does not create, rehearse, cast, or have artistic control over the performance or activity.
Theatre (Community and Professional)
The Theatre disciplines support projects that promote excellence in theatre performance. Musical theatre can be included in this discipline. Organizations producing opera projects should apply to the Music discipline.
The Community Theatre discipline is for applicants producing a community theatre project.
Most of the artistic staff participating in community theatre projects are not compensated. However personnel may be hired as needed to perform administrative, artistic, or production duties.
Community theatre applicants should be very specific when describing how artists are compensated. Although it is assumed that most community theatre applicants will not be compensating most actors, applicants should address whether or not technical staff (directors, designers) are compensated and if any actors receive financial compensation.
If a community theatre is in the process of becoming a professional house, the application should describe where the applicant is in the transition and when the applicant expects to be offering full compensation to artistic staff.
The Professional Theatre discipline is for producing professional theatres.
Organizations applying to the Professional Theatre discipline must compensate their artistic staff and actors. Professional Theatre panelists strongly emphasize the importance of payment to actors.
Companies should be very specific when describing the financial compensation and/or benefits that are offered to artistic staff and actors. For information on minimum pay rates for actors and staff contact a theatrical union such as Actors Equity (http://www.actorsequity.org).
The Visual Arts discipline is for projects that promote excellence in the visual arts through activities such as:
- educational programs;
- artist workshops; and
- professional development for visual artists.

Our Strategic Plan Culture Builds Florida's Future
The Division's Strategic Plan, Culture Builds Florida's Future, is a statewide cultural plan designed to redefine the role of the arts and culture in Florida. It has four vision areas:
- Strengthening the Economy;
- Promoting Learning and Wellness;
- Building Leadership; and
- Advancing Design and Development.
All Specific Cultural Project proposals must incorporate at least one (1) of the four (4) vision areas. With this information, the Division can demonstrate to the legislature and the public how our grantees are implementing a unified message and strategy for arts and culture.
For more information about Culture Builds Florida's Future visit http://www.florida-arts.org/about/strategicplan/.
All proposed activity must take place within the grant period.
- The grant period start date is July 1 or the date the award agreement is executed, whichever is later; and
- The grant period end date is June 30 unless an end date extension is approved by the Division (see extensions).
Accessibility and Non-Discrimination
The Division of Cultural Affairs is committed to making the arts and culture accessible to everyone, including:
- persons with disabilities;
- older adults;
- culturally and economically underserved populations; and
Applicants may receive up to 10 points during panel review through the accessibility review criterion.
Organizations seeking support for activities that will not be open and accessible to all members of the public, regardless of sex, race, color, national origin, religion, disability, age, or marital status are not eligible for this publicly funded grant.
Specific Cultural Projects have a maximum request of $25,000, except for Underserved Cultural Community Development projects. Use the table below to find the maximum request amount. Proposal types and funding categories (levels) are described in detail in the Proposal Types section of the guidelines.
|Proposal Type||Funding Category||Maximum Request|
|Arts In Education *||All||$25,000|
|Culture Builds Florida||All||$25,000|
|Underserved Cultural Community Development||Capacity Building||$2,000|
* Note: Arts In Education Residency projects have specific contact hour requirements based on the amount requested.
Applicants must provide at least one dollar in cash and in-kind (donated goods or services) for every dollar requested from the division. This is called match. Some expenses can only appear in the Proposal Budget as match. (see Match Only Expenses).
Exception: Underserved Cultural Community Development applicants with a Total Operating Income of less than $10,000 that have never received an Underserved Cultural Community Development grant are not required to provide cash match however, match must be shown as in-kind.
Total Proposal Expenses are defined as match (cash and in-kind) + request amount. No more than 25% of the Total Proposal Expenses may be in-kind. See the in-kind section of the guidelines for more details.
Matching funds may be anticipated at the time of application, but must be received by the end of the grant period. All expenses (both state grant and match) must be paid out (not merely encumbered) by the grant end date.
Rural Economic Development Initiative (REDI)
The Rural Economic Development Initiative (REDI) recognizes rural or economically distressed counties and communities designated as REDI qualified. Applicants that are located within a REDI county or community as of the application deadline are not required to provide cash match. However REDI applicants are still required to show a dollar for dollar match of in-kind (donated goods or services).
Applicants that seek a REDI match waiver must submit a letter from the county government (or city administrator in the case of REDI communities) acknowledging the application and requesting a REDI match waiver on behalf of the applicant. This letter must be submitted with the application package.
If the letter is not included with the application package, the applicant will be notified and have 10 calendar days from the date of notification to provide the letter. If the letter is not received within the time given, the applicant must adjust their budget to show dollar for dollar cash match.
For more information about REDI see the official REDI website at http://www.florida-redi.com.
In-kind (Donated Goods and Services)
In-kind can appear in both the proposal budget and the operating budget. Use the following formulas to calculate maximum allowable in-kind.
Total Proposal Expenses (as reported in the proposal budget) may not contain more than 25% in-kind.
- Maximum allowable in-kind = Total Cash Expenses (cash match plus request) divided by 3
The amount of in-kind allowed in the Operating Budget depends on the applicant's Total Cash Income as defined in the application.
If Total Cash Income is $150,000 or less, Total Operating Income may not include more than 25% in-kind.
- Maximum allowable in-kind = Total Cash Income divided by 3.
If Total Cash Income is over $150,000, Total Operating Income may not include more than 10% in-kind.
- Maximum allowable in-kind = Total Cash Income divided by 9.
Applicants may include a list of additional in-kind as a support material to demonstrate community support.
To calculate the value of volunteer services, use the federal minimum wage (see the Wage and Hour Division of the US Department of Labor http://www.wagehour.dol.gov). If the volunteer is professionally skilled in the service provided (such as a photographer donating photography services or a Certified Public Accountant providing a pro bono audit), use the wage rate the individual is normally paid for the service.
The value of all professionally skilled services used as in-kind must be documented in writing by the volunteer. The value of donated goods must also be documented. Records of such documentation must be available upon request.
Allowable expenses must be:
- directly related to the proposal;
- specifically and clearly detailed in the proposal budget; and
- incurred and paid within the grant start and end dates.
Only allowable expenses may be included in the proposal budget. The grantee may be asked to provide documentation such as canceled checks, paid invoices, or other financial documents verifying grant related expenses.
Spending state grant funds on expenses that have not been approved by the Division, even if directly related to the program or project, will be disallowed and could result in a legal demand for the return of grant funds.
Match Only Expenses
No state funds may be used towards operational or indirect/overhead costs which include, but are not limited to:
- office supplies;
- equipment costing over $1,000;
- property improvements;
- building maintenance;
- space rental; and
- employee benefits.
In addition, no state funds may be used on expenses incurred or obligated before the grant start date, however, expenses incurred before the start date and after July 1 may be included as match.
The following are non-allowable expenses for grant and matching funds. Non-allowable expenses may not be included anywhere in the Grant Proposal Budget:
- State funds from any source. This includes any income that comes from an appropriation of state funds or grants from the State of Florida;
- Funds used as match for other Department of State grants;
- Expenses incurred or obligated before July 1 or after the grant period;
- Lobbying or attempting to influence federal, state, or local legislation;

(Up to 10 points)
Applications must earn a minimum average score of 80 to be recommended for funding by the review panel.
The maximum number of points an application can earn is 100. Panel members will individually score each application. The average of the individual panelists' scores will be rounded to three decimal places. When the fourth decimal is 5 or greater, the score will be rounded up in favor of the applicant. For example, 79.9995 will be rounded to 80 but 79.9993 would remain 79.999.

Applicant does not meet eligibility requirements for the selected proposal type, funding category or discipline
Staff will also contact the applicant if the application indicates support materials are included but no materials are received.
After the application deadline, applications may only be amended at the request of Division staff. Only changes that are approved by the Division will be provided to the review panel.
After Division staff review, the Division will release eligible applications to the grant panel for review and scoring. Panelists must be practicing artists or other professionals. Panelists will be appointed by the Secretary of State each year based on the following considerations (in no particular order):
- panelist resume, knowledge, experience, and active involvement in the program, type or discipline being reviewed;
- panelist experience with the panel process;
- panelist availability;
- geographic representation;
- minority representation;
- conflicts of interest; and
- diverse aesthetic, institutional, and cultural viewpoints.
The Division is always seeking panelist nominations. Anyone may nominate a panelist (themselves or someone else) at any time by contacting a program manager (see help). Panelists may serve on a specific panel for up to 3 consecutive years. Panelists serve on a volunteer basis.
All panel members must comply with the Standards of Conduct for Public Officers and Employees of Agencies as set forth in section 112.313. Florida Statutes, and voting conflict of interest laws as set forth in sections 112.3143 and 286.012 Florida Statutes.
Panelists independently evaluate each application based on the review criteria detailed in these guidelines. After each panel member has evaluated the applications, there will be a public panel meeting to review, discuss, and score the applications. Panelists must voice their scores in the panel meeting. Only scores voiced during the panel meeting count towards the final average score for an application.
Panel meetings are a public process (usually conducted by teleconference) and anyone can participate by attending in person or by calling in via a toll-free number. Participation instructions will be emailed to applicants and posted on the Division's web site. The Division strongly encourages applicants to participate in the grant panel meeting, however it is not required. Participating in the panel process can be very helpful for those that intend to apply for future grants.
Panel meetings are chaired by a member of the Florida Council on Arts and Culture. If a member of the Council is not available a Division staff member will serve as the panel Chair. Chairs do not vote on applications being reviewed.
A typical panel meeting will include the following:
Call to Order;
Introduction of Panelists, Staff, and Call-In Participants/Audience;
Panel Instructions from the Chair;
Preliminary scoring of applications. For each application:
- the Chair will announce the application number and applicant name;
- applicants may provide a brief update on the application. Updates may only include new proposal information;
- applicants will be permitted to respond to panelist questions;
- each panelist will voice his or her score;
- Division staff will calculate and voice the total points and the average panel score.
Public comment prior to panel consensus on scores:
During public comment, anyone (including applicants) may speak about the applications under consideration. After public comment, panelists may adjust their scores before the final vote to accept all scores.
General discussion from the panel (policies, procedures);
General comments from the public;
Closing remarks from the Chair; and
Florida Council on Arts and Culture Review
After the panel meeting, the Division will report the panel recommendations to the Florida Council on Arts and Culture in the form of a ranked list. The Council may amend panel recommendations based on new or existing information about the applicant or panel proceedings.
Information that will allow recalculation of the average score by the Council includes, but is not limited to:
- a panelist's conflict of interest; and
- scoring errors.
Information that may result in the Council recommending zero funding includes:
- noncompliance with administrative requirements of previous grants;
- bankruptcy or other fiscal concerns; and
- changes in the applicant's staff that would impair implementation of the proposed grant activity.
The Council may also amend typographical errors in the panel recommendations.
All Specific Cultural Project applications recommended by the Council will be merged into a ranked list in accordance with section 265.286(3), Florida Statutes, using the following system.
- Applications will be ranked by average score (highest to lowest);
- Applications with a tied average score will be ranked using the average points scored on each criterion in the following order:
- Excellence and Innovation;
- Management; and
- If there is still a tie after the score for each criterion has been compared, the applications will be ordered by a sequence number assigned at application submission (lowest to highest)
This ranked list will be submitted to the Secretary of State for review and approval.
Secretary of State Review and Approval
The Secretary of State may approve, amend, or recalculate scores or amend the recommendations of the Council as described under the Council Review section above.
Subject to Legislative appropriation, Specific Cultural Project recommendations approved by the Secretary of State will be funded top-down at full request until the appropriation is depleted.
The Department of State's Legislative Budget Request will include the Secretary of State's approved ranked list of Specific Cultural Project applications. The Legislature may use this list to appropriate an amount in accordance with section 265.286(3), Florida Statutes.
If grant funds are returned to the Division, the Division shall award such funds to the next grant organization on the Secretary's ranked list of approved applicants according to section 265.286(4), Florida Statutes.
The Division of Cultural Affairs shares grant compliance information with the Division of Historical Resources and the Division of Library and Information Services. Together these three Divisions make up the Office of Cultural, Historical, and Information Programs (OCHIP). Any applicant that has not submitted required reports or satisfied other administrative requirements for grants from any division in OCHIP will be in noncompliance.
Grant compliance issues must be resolved before grantees can:
- be issued award agreements for new grants; or
- receive payments on existing grants.
Panels will be advised of each applicant's reporting history (up to 5 years) for consideration in the Management review criterion. In the past, otherwise competitive applications have received lower scores due to noncompliance.
The Council may decline to recommend funding for an otherwise eligible application if the applicant is in noncompliance.
The following forms must be used in the administration of all grants in these guidelines and are hereby incorporated by reference and available from the Division at http://www.florida-arts.org.
- Grant Application (Form CA2E145), effective 4/2012 online;
- Grant Award Agreement (Form CA2E142), effective 4/2012;
- Grant Amendment Request (Form CA2E002), effective 4/2012 online; and
- Grant Report (Form CA2E004), effective 4/2012 online.
Grant Award Agreement
The Grant Award Agreement is the contract between the grantee and the Division. It includes the requirements for the administration of the grant. The grantee's authorized official must sign and return this agreement to the Division within 30 days of the date on the award letter. Applicants that fail to return the agreement within 30 days of the date on the award letter will have their grant rescinded by the Division unless a program manager has approved an award agreement extension (see extensions).
Payments will not be released and grantees cannot spend state funds until the Grant Award Agreement has been executed. The Division will send grantees a fully executed copy of the agreement for their files.
Grant funds will be available in quarterly installments. Grantees do not have to submit a request for payment. No payments will be released until the Grant Award Agreement has been executed. Payments will not be issued to grantees in noncompliance.
Grant Amendment Requests
An approved grant application becomes part of the Grant Award Agreement between the grantee and the Division. Therefore the grantee must use the Grant Amendment Request form (see grant forms) to request permission (in advance) for any changes to the grant.
This includes changes that result from a lower award amount than requested.
Changes include any substantial deviation from the proposal as outlined in the grant application, such as:
- Program Changes:
- reduction in the number of events or opportunities by 25% or more;
- reduction in staff related to the proposal;
- changes in program content that result in revision of goals, objectives, or activities;
- changes in specific personnel that are not equivalent to the approved proposal; and
- inability to complete the programming for which grant funds were awarded.
- Budget Changes
- budget changes due to a lower award amount than requested;
- addition of an expense line item where none existed in the approved budget;
- budget changes which include a decrease in the total expenses of the approved proposal by 25% or more;
- a change in line item expense of 50% or more ;
- charging admission or fees when the proposed activity was free to the public; and
- introduction of a subcontractor relationship where none existed in the application.
The Division will approve or deny a change request based on whether the change is directly related to the goals of the funded application.
If changes are implemented without the Division’s written approval, the grantee is subject to noncompliance, and the grant award is subject to reduction or complete refund to the State of Florida, in accordance with the Grant Award Agreement.
Grant period extensions must also be requested using the Grant Amendment request form. See extensions for more detail.
An award agreement extension extends the 30 days grantees have to return the signed Grant Award Agreement. Applicants should request an award agreement extension by contacting a program manager (see help).
A grant period extension changes the grant end date. This gives the grantee extra time to complete grant activities and receive matching funds. Grantees must submit an interim report by the original report deadline of July 30 (see reporting). Grant period extensions must be requested before the grant end date using the Grant Amendment Request form.
A final report extension only changes the final report due date. This gives the grantee more time to complete the report that would normally be due 30 days after the grant end date. This does not extend the grant period and all activities must still be completed by the grant end date. Final report extensions must be requested before July 30 by contacting a Program Manager (see help).
Extensions will only be approved if the grantee can demonstrate extenuating circumstances. An extenuating circumstance is one that is beyond the control of the grantee, and prevents timely completion of the grant or report. Examples include natural disaster, death, or serious illness. Failure to read or understand administrative requirements or failure to raise sufficient matching funds do not count as extenuating circumstances.
Grantees must submit a grant report to the Division. The grant report includes information and documentation that the proposed programming was completed in compliance with the Grant Award Agreement and these guidelines. Grantees must also submit support materials showing the required division credit and demonstrating that the funded activities took place. These materials must be postmarked by the final report deadline.
The Division uses the information provided in the grant report to:
- compile performance reports for the Florida Legislature and for Congress (via the National Endowment for the Arts);
- develop advocacy materials and data to support future funding needs;
- provide statistical information requested by local, regional, and national arts and cultural organizations;
- aid in evaluating the success of Division programs;
- identify emerging cultural needs; and
- compile an annual Rural Economic Development Initiative (REDI) report.
A final grant report (including postmarked support materials) is due on July 30 after the grant period unless an extension has been granted (see extensions).
If a grant period extension has been approved by the Division, an interim grant report is due on July 30. Grantees that fail to submit a report on the due date will be placed into noncompliance. Support materials are not required with the interim report.
When the final report has been approved by the Division, the grant is considered closed.
Maintaining Grant Records
Grantees must maintain complete and accurate financial records, supporting documents, statistical records, and all other records related to this grant for at least five (5) years after the grant is closed (the final report is approved). These records must be readily available on request for the entire period. If there is an audit or litigation regarding the grant, then all records should be maintained for five years from the end of the audit or litigation.
Grantees must maintain an accounting system that provides complete documentation of the use of all of the grant funds, including:
- Accurate, current, and complete records that adequately identify the sources and use of funds for all grant activities, including detailed receipts for expenditures of state funds.;
- Effective control over and accountability for all funds, property, and other assets; and
- Bills for grant services or expenses (i.e., invoices, bills, and canceled checks) in detail sufficient for proper pre-audit and post audit.
Florida Single Audit Act
Each nonstate entity that expends $500,000 or more in state awards during the grant recipient's fiscal year is required to have a state single audit or project specific audit for that fiscal year. A state award is defined as state financial assistance from any source provided to the recipient to carry out a state project. The audit shall include a schedule of receipts and expenditures for the entire award expended. The audit should be submitted within nine (9) calendar months following the end of the organization’s fiscal year. Additional information will be made available through the Grant Award Agreement.
For additional details on the Florida Single Audit Act, visit http://www.myflorida.com/audgen/pages/flsaa.htm.
Crediting the Division
Grantees are required to credit the Division for funding using the following sponsorship statement.
“Sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture.”The statement must appear when publicizing, advertising or describing sponsorship in accordance with section 286.25, Florida Statutes.
The statement must be used on at least one promotional material even if there are no materials that publicize, advertise, or describe sponsorship.
Promotional materials for programming funded with money from the Division of Cultural Affairs should either include the sponsorship statement, or the Division logo, or both. The sponsorship statement (with or without the Division logo) should also be included on posters, brochures, catalogs, press releases, web sites, fliers, and other materials.
The Division's logo can be used alone on items where the complete credit statement will not fit, such as postcards, magnets, etc.
The DCA logo can be downloaded from the Division's web site at http://www.florida-arts.org/about/logo/.
Cultural organizations that receive state funding and will be traveling internationally must notify the Department of Economic Opportunity with their intention to travel and include date, time and location of each appearance. These same organizations must also notify the Department of State at least 30 days prior to the date the international travel is to commence, or as soon as feasible (section 15.182 Florida Statutes).
How to Apply
All application information submitted to the Division is open for public inspection and subject to the Public Records Law (Chapter 119, Florida Statutes).
Grant applications to the Division will have two parts: an application form and an application package.
The application form must be completed using the Division's online grant application and submitted online by 11:59 pm ET on the application deadline. Deadlines and a link to the application form will be posted on the Division's web site.
Applicants may request that a submitted application be electronically un-submitted at any point before the application deadline. The application must be re-submitted by the application deadline to be considered.
The application package should contain the following:
1 IRS 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) determination letter (Nonprofit, tax exempt applicants only);
1 REDI Waiver Request letter (if requesting a REDI cash match waiver only); and
- Consultant resume (Underserved Cultural Community Development - Consultant only).
The application package may also contain support materials which are optional but strongly encouraged. If support materials are included applicants must provide 8 sets with cover sheets. See support materials for more information.
Do not include printed copies of your electronic application form in the application package.
The application package must be mailed to the Division and postmarked by the application deadline. If the application deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the application package must be postmarked by the following day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.
The Division recommends that applicants purchase a certificate of mailing or similar receipt as evidence of the date mailed. The use of express package delivery services is not necessary since the deadline is a "postmark deadline."
Support materials can provide panelists with a more complete picture of the proposal and are optional but strongly encouraged. If support materials are included, they must meet the following guidelines:
Applicants must supply 8 complete sets of support materials. The Division will not copy support materials and does not review sets to make sure all are the same. If there are not 8 sets of support materials for an application, no support materials will be sent to the panel;
Each of the 8 sets must be a single unit containing all support materials (including a/v materials or catalogs). For example 8 binders and 8 CDs are not acceptable because the CDs are not inside or attached to the binders. Applicants may use rubber bands or binder clips to unify bulky or oddly shaped pieces. Support materials that are not a part of a unified set will not be sent to the panel; and
- Support materials must be mailed to the Division as part of the application package postmarked by the application deadline. Support materials postmarked after the application deadline will not be sent to the panel.
The Department of State, Florida Council on Arts and Culture, Division of Cultural Affairs, and the grant review panels assume no responsibility for the care, safety, and security of support materials.
Support materials may include, but are not limited to:
- a letter from the Executive Director;
- brochures, programs, catalogs, photographs or other printed materials;
- materials crediting the Division for recent grants;
- recent support letters or reviews;
- long range plan or status report;
- organizational chart;
- list of current board members;
- detail about in-kind; and
- video or audio work samples.
Each set of support materials should include a cover sheet with the following information:
- applicant name;
- application number (or FEIN if application number is not yet available); and
- numbered list of included support materials. This list should match the list included in the application. Descriptions may be included if needed.

So, I’ve recently started listening to “Fresh Air”, an NPR broadcast weeknights at 10:30pm EST (at least that is the time that I start to listen to it since I get off of work at that time). Terry Gross hosts, and she has really interesting discussions with what the NPR website says are “luminaries.” Now, she had Seth Macfarlane on there a few nights ago, so I don’t know how illuminating he is (he’s hella funny), but maybe our lexicons are a bit different. Anyway, poet Marie Howe was on last night, and she read some amazing poems. You should check it out:
This was my day yesterday, thought I’d share it with all of you.
happy monday indeed.

Options, obstinacies, dug heels, and distance,
Here and there and now and then, a stance.” —from “The Aerodrome” by Seamus Heaney from his book District and Circle

"Hothouse" is a song by American band 78violet. It is their first single release since their renaming from Aly & AJ in 2009. It was released on July 8, 2013. The song was written by sisters Aly and AJ Michalka, and Mike Einziger (of the band Incubus), while production was handled by David Kahne.
Hothouse (song) Wikipedia
The folk-pop song introduces the public to a new psychedelic sound from the duo that strays from their commercial pop rock roots. "When you hear it, it kind of takes you a little bit back to the '60s, '70s and has that throwback sound as well as the female strength," older sister Aly, 24, told MTV News.
Immediately after the single's release the duo began promotion. On June 26 the girls performed their first concert in five years at the Roxy Theater in West Hollywood. The duo appeared in several interviews, beginning with ClevverNews where they discussed the single and album. The day of the release they interviewed on Huffpost live with Ahmed. On July 9 they hosted a concert in New York City at the Gramercy Theater. The duo also performed "Boy" and "Hothouse" live on Billboard's Tastemakers. Along with a performance on Vevo. During this time the duo would be nominated for "Best Siblings in Pop" on Popdust and would single-handedly beat out the Jonas Brothers, the McClain Sisters, and Chord and Nash Overstreet.

Hello guys, can I give suggestions for compressed executable.
Starling demo has 13,42 MB ( static release x64 )
I have tried Easy Upx GUI and result looks 4,36 MB
If you like compressing mode into static lime example
lime build windows -64 -release -static -z or lime build windows -64 -release -static -compress
lime test flash -z ( flash has support compress mode )
lime test air -z ( compress smaller with swf file )
lime test android -z ( Make apk smaller - I am not sure if Android works small apk files )
If you don’t use -z than lime test html will make normal and large files.
And more anything with -z for linux and mac work too. They have not problem with small size of executables.
Do you allow to add my idea “-z” It means compress with zlib library ( x64 and x86 )
Like mkbundle makes smaller with bundled executable with C# assemblies into native executable with small size.
I hope you allow to add new parameter for lime/openfl if executable are static and make small size.
If you don’t like than you can ignore my idea.


Hi. I recently purchased and installed Shadow Empire. When I ran it, I discovered that all the text in the game was so tiny it was virtually illegible. I squinted my way to a preferences menu, where I saw options for different resolutions and I tried some other resolutions. Some of them produced more legible text. However, I discovered that the game did not just change in-game resolution, it changed my entire computer's resolution and I had to go to my Windows settings to change it back to normal.
So I have several questions. First, what is the "native resolution" for this game--the resolution it was designed to be played on. Second, is there a way to get to this resolution, so the game will be legible for me, without it messing up my whole computer?
I was really quite surprised by this; all my other games either seem to come with a default resolution for the game itself or have somehow otherwise adapted themselves to my computer's basic resolution without it impacting things like font size and text readability.
Help would be appreciated, thanks.

A homeless woman shot in the city of Indio was hospitalized in serious condition Monday and investigators were seeking clues as to the motive.
The attack was reported about 7:30 p.m. Sunday on Van Buren Street, near Doctor Carreon Boulevard, authorities said.
Arriving officers found the woman on a side street, with a single gunshot wound to her lower body, Indio police information officer Ben Guitron wrote in a news release.
The woman had apparently been attacked in a drive-by shooting.
A dark-colored, four-door SUV -- possibly a Chrysler PT Cruiser -- may have been involved in the attack, police said.
The vehicle was seen heading west on Doctor Carreon, from Van Buren, police said.
Anyone with information on the attack or with suspect information was asked to call investigators at 760-391-4057, or leave anonymous tips at the Coachella Valley Crime Stoppers at 760 341-STOP.

I used to have one of these having bought it from new and I still have the faulty machine and its attachments. Browsing on ebay I found one up for sale and bid and tonight I have won a brand new one. The only reason I have gone for it is because when it worked my previous machine was a handy little gadget which meant I could get on with other things whilst it was working. Which is a great time saver when one works full time. Will see how I get on with this one. My original one came from Lakeland and the jam pan locked onto its base. When it did this though it was well out of its guarantee. So now I have another one coming I will see if OH can do anything with it otherwise it will be going in the bin apart from the extra bits. Lakeland have not done this jam pan for some particular length of time but they have a Ball one in now which is £150. So will see how I get on. I can only try and I have not expended too much money in buying it. Enough but not too much.
I also have my eye on a soup urn for making cheese at home. I got the idea from the cheese book by Dick and James Strawbridge.
I am quite a fan of Kefir also. I love Milk Kefir and buy this currently from the Polish Shop round the corner. Occasionally they also have buttermilk which I use for muffins and scones predominantly. However you can buy the grains and produce it yourself, so this is something I am looking into at the moment. Both cultures are meant to help where there are long term medical conditions especially auto immune disease. I have not tried the water Kefir but it is fizzy and you can add different fruit juices to it.
So really I am starting to amass the equipment I need for doing things myself. I have the dehydrator the time and temperature controlled hot water bath urn, the jam machine. I am still hankering after a pressure canner and that is on the list. I need a couple of meat and cheese caves and a smoker. I have a small box one that you can pop outside or use on the cooker but I fancy a shed type one.
So I am not doing badly on the equipment front.
There is one more piece of equipment I do have my eye on an embroidery machine - I have been looking at the computerised Janome ones. Will have to see on this front as this is quite a hefty piece of expenditure.
Hopefully my machine will arrive by the end of the week.
Catch you soon.

- Gathering at a virtual summit on Friday, leading scientists and government advisors from all over the world warned that Britain was heading for disaster by removing most of its remaining restrictions on Monday.
- The event came as more than 1,200 scientists backed a letter to the Lancet medical journal, in which U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's plans were dubbed "dangerous and premature."
LONDON — Global scientists have criticized the U.K. government's plans to ease almost all Covid-19 restrictions, calling it unethical and dangerous for the entire planet.
Gathering at a virtual summit on Friday, leading scientists and government advisors from all over the world warned that Britain was heading for disaster by removing most of its remaining restrictions on Monday.
The event came as more than 1,200 scientists backed a letter to the Lancet medical journal, in which U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's plans were dubbed "dangerous and premature."
England will see most of it last remaining restrictions, including mandatory mask-wearing and social distancing, removed on Monday, which Johnson has said will be an "irreversible" move.
Johnson has fiercely defended his new strategy and has argued that now is "the right time to proceed," before the weather turned colder and as "the natural firebreak of the school holidays" approached.
"It is absolutely vital that we proceed now with caution … we cannot simply revert instantly from Monday to life as it was before Covid," he said at a press conference Monday.
Speaking on Friday's panel, Christina Pagel, director of the Clinical Operational Research Unit of London's UCL, warned that there was potential for a new variant of Covid to emerge this summer.
"Any mutation that can infect vaccinated people better has a big selection advantage and can spread," she said. "And because of our position as a global travel hub, any variant that becomes dominant in the U.K. will likely spread to the rest of the world — we saw it with alpha, and I'm absolutely sure that we contributed to the rise of delta through Europe and North America."
"The U.K. policy doesn't just affect us, it affects everybody — everybody has a stake in what we do," she added.
Clinical epidemiologist Deepti Gurdasani, who also attended the summit, agreed, saying on Twitter before the event that "the world is watching the current avoidable crisis unfold in the U.K."
Michael Baker, a professor of public health and a member of the New Zealand Ministry of Health's advisory group, said he was "amazed" by the British government's plans to lift almost all restrictions on Monday.
Baker suggested the U.K. government seemed to be reverting to a "herd immunity approach," which he dubbed "completely unacceptable," arguing that the strategy had "failed dismally around the globe."
New Zealand has widely been seen as successful at suppressing the coronavirus within its borders, and life in the island nation has returned to a state of relative normalcy. The country currently has 48 "active" cases, all of which were found in people entering the country, and nine of which were reported in the last 24 hours. There are zero cases within the community, according to New Zealand's Ministry of Health.
William Haseltine, a U.S. virologist and chair and president of ACCESS Health International, told the panel at Friday's summit that the world had "always looked to the U.K. for great, sensible policies."
"Unfortunately, that has not been the case for the Covid pandemic," he said. "What I fear is that some of the worst impulses in many of our states will follow the U.K. example."
Haseltine slammed so-called herd immunity strategies — where populations are allowed to build up natural immunity to an illness through exposure to it — as "murderous."
"I think that's a word we should use, because that is what it is. It is knowledge that you are doing something that will result in thousands, and in some cases tens of thousands of people dying," he said.
"It is disaster as policy, it's been clear that that's been the case for some time, and to continue to espouse that policy is unconscionable."
Jose M Martin-Moreno, a professor of public health at the University of Valencia in Spain, echoed Haseltine's concerns about other parts of the world following the U.K.'s lead.
"We cannot understand why this is happening in spite of the knowledge that (the U.K.) has," he said, cautioning that other countries may begin to "mimic" British policies.
"If we remove the tools that contain the transmission — this is it," he added.
Yaneer Bar-Yam, president of the New England Complex Systems Institute and founder of the World Health Network, said that now was the time for governments to act — but in the opposite direction of British lawmakers.
"Opening up when the pandemic is still propagating doesn't make sense for protection of the public," he said. "Everybody is affected once the pandemic is out of control."
Meanwhile, Shu-Ti Chiou, founding president of Taiwan's Health and Sustainable Development Foundation, said it was unethical to "take the umbrella away from people without a raincoat while it's raining very hard." She also raised concerns that with children unable to be vaccinated, they would be "left behind" due to the high prevalence of "long Covid" among young people.
However, there were also warnings that even those who were fully vaccinated would feel the impact of high transmission rates.
Meir Rubin, a lawyer who advises the Israeli government on risk management, warned that "even the best vaccines are only a tactic and not a strategy."
In one region of Israel, he noted, more than 80% of the population had been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, but there had still been a "serious outbreak" of Covid. Rubin told the panel that without eliminating the virus, even a vaccinated population could "collapse under the next variant."
"An infectious carrier of the delta variant will infect his family even when they are fully vaccinated. If you live with a child who is a delta carrier, he will infect the parents," he said, adding that Israel was seeing serious cases and hospitalizations even in fully vaccinated patients.
Haseltine also noted that vaccines alone would not bring an end to the pandemic.
"Even if you are fully vaccinated, you must follow serious efforts and control to try to eliminate, not just mitigate, the problem. Policies that open up the country in the midst of a growing wave of infections are counterproductive in the most extreme," he warned.

Setting the Desert on Fire: T. E. Lawrence and Britain's Secret War in Arabia, 1916-1918 (Paperback)
"Barr turns history into a drama, with bright writing and a fascinating cast of characters.” —Mary Foster, Associated Press
T. E. Lawrence’s classic Seven Pillars of Wisdom made the Arab revolt a legend and helped turn him into the mythical “Lawrence of Arabia.” Setting the Desert on Fire is both a masterly account of the intrigue behind the revolt and its startling consequences for the present-day Middle East and a portrait of Lawrence that brings fresh insight to the true nature of the master mythmaker.
About the Author
James Barr is the author of Setting the Desert on Fire. During the research for A Line in the Sand he was a Visiting Fellow at St Antony’s College, Oxford. He lives in London.
A tightly-focused, fast-paced account…Mr. Barr’s achievement is to tell Lawrence’s story more clearly and objectively, helping to make sense of a complex war fought in an unfamiliar land and language.
— Adam Kirsch - New York Sun
[James] Barr has written a compact, scrupulously accurate chronicle of the revolt and Lawrence’s role in it, utilizing previously unavailable archival material…An excellent general history of a widely misunderstood struggle that largely defined the shape of the modern Middle East.
Barr expertly navigates an intriguing landscape of shifting alliances and labyrinthine politics peopled with eccentric characters to demystify a fascinating legend.

India Ratings has said the financial condition of Punjab has been steadily deteriorating over the past few years and is now “quite precarious”, which is at the centre of a controversy over missing Rs 20,000-crore foodgrain stocks from its granaries.
“The financial situation of Punjab, particularly with respect to liquidity, has remained quite precarious over the past few years… The situation has deteriorated considerably now,” the agency said in a note on Friday.
According to the note, Punjab’s liquidity has been “worrisome” since 2011-12, and in 2016-17, the State proposes to use Rs 19,500 crore through ways and means advances (WMAs), up from Rs 17,000 crore in 2015-16.
The situation is so grave that the government has mortgaged assets like the Gandhi Vanita Ashram for widows in Jalandhar and state jails at Bathinda, Amritsar and Goindwal to raise cash from banks, it said.
The rising debt level— the overall liabilities have doubled since 2008-09 — has only compounded the problem for the State, it said, adding that the State is second among non-special States at 31.4 per cent of Gross State Domestic Product.
In the past two years alone, the gross fiscal deficit of Punjab rose 23 per cent to Rs 13,087 crore in 2016-17 (budget estimate) and public debt rose sharply by 32.3 per cent, it said.
The note comes a day after RBI issued an authorisation of cash credit limit of Rs 17,523 crore towards first installment for wheat procurement during the ongoing rabi season and asked banks to make provisions against missing foodgrains in the State’s stock.
The RBI’s decision followed some 30-odd banks with an exposure to the State reportedly deciding to freeze lending to the state earlier this week.
According to the rating agency, even though Punjab has hit headlines recently on financial issues, liquidity crunch has been a “perennial problem” for the State.
The report said the State has been the highest user of RBI’s WMAs to tide over temporary mismatches in cash flow and is also the highest user of the RBI overdraft facility among both special and non-special category states.
The state administration maintains that all stocks procured over the years have been duly accounted for.
Some 30-odd banks led by SBI had extended loans of Rs 40,000 crore to the State for its foodgrain procurement programme, out of which Rs 12,000-20,000 crore grains are missing from godowns. If banks were to provide 15 per cent for the missing stocks, they would take a hit of around Rs 3,000 crore through March and June quarters.
Punjab is the largest food procurer while the total food credit is Rs 1 trillion. It procures grains on behalf of the Centre/Food Corporation.
The Reserve Bank has asked the lenders to set aside money as provisions for non-performing assets. They say loans to states are considered sovereign, hence no need to set aside money.

(JTA) — As part of a proposal to regulate food information, the European Parliament voted to require that meat labels state the method of slaughter.
Kosher meat would be labeled as "meat from slaugher without stunning," according to the proposal that was passed Wednesday by the Parliament. The vote was 559 in favor, 54 against and 32 abstentions.
The proposal will need the approval of the 27 member countries of the European Union before it becomes law, after which food businesses will have between three and five years to comply.
Jewish groups believe that the decision is discriminatory and will have a negative effect on the kosher food industry, according to the Jewish Chronicle. Some 70 percent of each animal killed according to Jewish law is used by the non-kosher market.
The requirement to label meat as slaughtered without stunning was singled out in the proposal, while methods such as electrocution, shooting, gassing or clubbing were not mentioned specifically.
The Parliament rejected a controversial color-coded nutritional labeling system that would indicate the amount of fat, carbohydrates, sugar and sodium in each food and drink product sold in the EU countries.
The proposal comes on the heels of a decision by New Zealand’s government to ban kosher slaughter as part of a new animal welfare code mandating that all animals for commercial consumption be stunned prior to slaughter to ensure that they are treated “humanely and in accordance with good practice and scientific knowledge.”

Teachers were warned yesterday that internet snoopers could put their jobs in peril. Delegates at the National Union of Teachers (NUT) annual conference were told headteachers and school governors often surfed the net to find out all they could about potential job applicants.
Karl Hopwood, a former primary school head who is now an "e-safety" consultant, urged teachers to be wary about what they posted on the internet and also told them not to befriend either pupils or parents on social networking sites such as Facebook. "There are parents who say, 'Brilliant, we've got him,' if they find something which could be thought of as compromising," he told a fringe meeting at the conference in Harrogate. He said that when he was a primary head, there had been a picture of him at training college surrounded by fellow students and drink, which he might have preferred parents not to see.
The NUT has just issued new guidance to its members telling them: "Staff should not post information and photos about themselves or school-related matters publicly that they wouldn't want employers, colleagues, pupils or parents to see."
Amanda Brown, head of the NUT's legal department, said: "We warn teachers: 'Don't use your personal mobile phone when contacting pupils – use the school mobile.' Also, they should be very vigilant about their private life. There might be some prospective employers in the background looking for information.
"We also urge them not to befriend parents and pupils on sites like Facebook. Difficulties seem to arise if a you have a school in a local and small community where someone who is a teacher at the school will actually know the pupils and their parents in their personal life. They should just be a little wary about talking about their personal life."
She warned that if pupils did not like a teacher, they may well search for them online to see if they could find anything embarrassing about them.
Ms Brown added: "I think it would be a great shame if teachers felt they couldn't use social-networking sites in their private life. For a whole profession to be told, 'Just don't use social networking at all,' would be a shame.
"It is not only you, yourself, that might put something on a social-networking site," she said. "If friends or family have photos or include you in things they set up, they can become used in a way you don't have control over. You have to think about how to keep things private."
The union's guidance also voices concern over pupils "cyber-bullying" staff, stating: "Staff in schools as well as pupils may become targets of cyber-bullying."
It urges all schools to draw up a policy on e-safety, making it clear that cyber-bullying is "unacceptable" and may well lead to disciplinary action being taken against pupils.

She was later reinstated.
