Dear Editor/Producer,
Many four-year-olds want to be a princess. But what if that child is a little BOY, not a GIRL? One year ago, Simon & Schuster published My Princess Boy and that question continues to be addressed by the national and international community. Author Cheryl Kilodavis shares, "My Princess Boy stands for accepting differences. It's for the child who is adopted, the overweight child in class, the kid with cultural differences or different ability's – it's a tool to end bullying and teach us how to support people who feel and express themselves differently."
Originally self-published, My Princess Boy tells the tale of a four-year-old boy who happily expresses his authentic self by wearing traditional girl clothes, from dresses and jewelry to tutus and tiaras. The story is a true story based on the author's son and the unconditional love and support he receives from his family and friends. The book also addresses the challenges he and his family have encountered when others don't understand the princess boy's uniqueness. Shortly after Simon & Schuster saw a version of the self-published book, it was rushed to national publication and set off a movement that has only continued to grow since January 2011.
No one could have anticipated how many people the book would speak to and how many lives it has touched. Thousands of people have reached out appreciating the book's positive message, using it at home or school as an anti-bullying teaching tool about acceptance. The book has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and People magazine. Cheryl has appeared on The Today Show, Nightline,and Dr. Phil (to name a few) to discuss the book and its message of acceptance. The book also hit #1 on Amazon's "Movers and Shakers" List.
Scores of bloggers and readers have praised the book, and many have spoken out to say that they know a Princess Boy or have a Princess Boy at home. Currently, the My Princess Boy Facebook fan page has 12,530 followers, with new likes daily. Cheryl is available for interviews, and if you would like to schedule one or would like to receive an additional review copy of the book, please feel free to contact us.

First Anti-Bullying App to Teach Acceptance
The nonfiction children's picture book My Princess Boy is now an iPad and iPhone Application (App), turning the books' positive message into the first anti-bullying interactive app, fostering conversations of acceptance. The app is now available on iTunes iPad store and is being labeled a top holiday gift for the iPad and the new iPhone 4.
Author Cheryl Kilodavis says her long-term goal is to use innovative technology to keep acceptance and anti-bullying conversations going. "It's important to reinforce positive affirmation messages where children spend a lot of their time, and that's playing Apps." Kilodavis was contacted by experienced app developer Demetrius Bassoukos, who was moved by the story, to help make the message more accessible through innovative technology.
A first of its kind, the My Princess Boy storybook app integrates positive messages through animated characters while integrating educational, fun games. Children are able to play music, make characters dance, and ask and answer important questions such as 'Would you laugh at the Princess Boy?' or 'Would you play with him?'
Kilodavis speaks around the country about her book and parenting journey, and what she calls the acceptance movement – identifying herself as an adult that modeled bullying behavior when she initially redirected her son from traditional girl things to stronger boy things. Kilodavis states, "Children acknowledge differences, and even embrace them. These apps reinforce those positive affirmations about what you would do if you see someone different."
The app can be purchased in the itunes store here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/myprincessboy/id476229266?ls=1

RAWALPINDI: Authorities of Adiala Jail have granted family members and political leaders until 4pm today to meet deposed premier Nawaz Sharif, his daughter and son-in-law on the weekly visiting day.
According to Express News, the trio has been moved to Adiala jail conference room where they will be allowed to meet the visitors. Nawaz met his daughter Maryam and son-in-law Capt (retd) Safdar at the conference room as well.
Media personnel have been cordoned off from the jail entrance and have been asked to park their cars and their cameras at a distance. Specific gate numbers have been allotted to the visitors of the deposed premier.
Earlier, a petition requesting to declare the residences of deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif, daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law Safdar as sub-jails was submitted in the Supreme Court's Lahore Registry.
The petition was submitted by Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz's (PML-N) Barrister Zafarullah Khan and stated that as the corruption trial against Nawaz is still pending, his residence can't be declared a sub-jail.

Learn about construction loans and basic steps to attain financing for a commercial project.
Commercial real estate development can be an exciting and profitable investment, but oftentimes financing the initial costs can be difficult and stressful. If you're not sure where to begin, that's okay. Let's review the basics of construction loans so you can be more confident when you seek financing for your next project.
The loan process begins when a developer submits a loan request with a bank or private lender.
Construction loans are typically a short-term loan. The loan will serve to fund both the construction costs of your building and the interest on the loan during the construction period and initial lease-up. When the project is completed and leases up to the market level of occupancy, long-term, or permanent financing, is available to pay off the short-term construction loan. When the lender commits to both short- and long-term structures it's called a "mini-perm" or "construction-permanent" mortgage. In this case, the lender has agreed to fund the project from breaking ground to ribbon cutting, and even market stabilization.
From a lender's point of view, new construction loans are risky simply because there isn't a operating history to boost the applicant's credibility. As a result, commercial construction loans are almost always entertained by regional or local lenders deeply familiar with the local markets. Research local credit unions and private lenders with experience in the area to get a feel of who is really involved in the market before making your choice.
What should you include? What should you omit? How should you layout the documents?
Year built. Include the dates of any remodeling or renovations.
After your application is submitted the loan goes through lender's underwriting process. Underwriting is an internal vetting procedure used to evaluate risk, the budget, local market conditions, financial capacity of the borrower, and review any other risks inherent to the loan request. Valuations are most often based purely on the projected cash flow of the property, or the real estate pro forma. If the loan is approved, the lender will draft a binding commitment letter. Similar to the terms sheet, but with much more detail, the commitment letter reviewed, negotiated, and accepted—and once signed acts as a legally-binding contract.
Let us know if you have any questions about construction financing.

Holding Their Breath

Weddell seal in a dive hole at McMurdo Station, Ross Island, Antarctica. Photo: Sally Morehead
Like any other mammal, a Weddell seal takes big breaths to prepare for a plunge into the water. Unlike most mammals, though, those breaths can keep the seal going for a long time. A Weddell can remain underwater for 70 minutes or more, dive thousands of feet, and cover distances of up to two miles.The seal does all this even though its metabolism is much higher than that of a land animal of the same size, so it consumes more oxygen. And after it gobbles a fish while underwater, its metabolism speeds up even more. A recent study found that after catching, eating, and digesting prey, a seal needed to breathe 45 percent more oxygen when it surfaced.
One way that a Weddell seal may conserve oxygen is to be careful with its swimming techniques. Every time it makes a stroke with its flippers, it consumes a lot of oxygen. To save its precious oxygen, it doesn't take that many strokes to get where it wants to go.
When it dives, for example, the air in its lungs is compressed by the pressure of the water around it. When the seal reaches a depth of about 250 feet, it's no longer buoyant, so it sinks -- something that takes no effort at all. And it can also conserve oxygen by mixing only a few flipper strokes between long periods of gliding.
So "taking it easy" can help a Weddell seal spend more time searching for food as it glides through frigid seas.

Speech by Federal Foreign Minister Heiko Maas on extending the anti-IS operation in the German Bundestag
11.10.2018 - Speech
Show larger version of image
Foreign Minister Heiko Maas speaking in the Bundestag about an extension of the Bundeswehr's mandate to counter IS© dpa
Two weeks ago, the United Nations General Assembly discussed the role of multilateralism in the time ahead. Or perhaps I should say it argued about it. One key question was this: what responsibility does the international community bear for stabilising today's crisis-hit regions? We want to meet our share of this responsibility. The figures bear this out: in the past three years alone, we have trebled Germany's contributions to stabilisation and crisis-prevention measures worldwide.
The fight against so-called "Islamic State" in Iraq is a particularly good illustration of how functioning multilateralism can help resolve international crises, and of the role Germany has played, is playing and can continue to play. The Iraqi security and armed forces have now succeeded in ending Islamic State's territorial rule, thanks not least to the support of a very broad international coalition in the fight against IS. The military engagement, including that of our Bundeswehr, has helped make it at all possible to establish the prerequisites for reconstruction and stabilisation. Only this joint action has enabled over four million internally displaced persons to return to their homes after the horrors of the IS reign of terror.
I think, when it comes to talking about migration, this is a remarkable scale of things. And so it is definitely useful to talk about how it happened and what role Germany played.
As a member of this multilateral alliance, Germany made a substantial contribution towards the stabilisation of the country. This is crucial for the entire Middle East region. Our aim should be to continue to help shape these developments in the future. To this end, there is, quite simply, still a need for both military and civilian engagement. Having provided more than 1.4 billion euros since 2014, we are now the second-largest donor in Iraq. We are helping to preserve unity in the country and to further strengthen the state's monopoly on the use of force. However, it is no secret to say that there is undoubtedly still a long way to go to achieve lasting stability in Iraq.
There has certainly been progress, some of it encouraging and brining hope for the future. The parliamentary elections in Iraq this year largely went off peacefully, despite all the predictions. That is a clear step forward. Iraq is currently in the midst of a lengthy, difficult, but ultimately democratic process of forming a new government. That is why, even though the government is not yet in place, we are already in contact with all those who might form part of it, but also with the other groups in parliament. As I say, though, we are primarily in contact with those who might form the next government. Talking to us, they all stress that they want German engagement in Iraq to continue.
Fellow Members of this House, our soldiers, development workers and diplomats have played a huge part in establishing these new realities in Iraq. Working under truly difficult conditions, they have made an important contribution over the past few years. For this, I believe, they deserve the gratitude of the Federal Government, but especially of the German parliament.
In the end, this is also in our very own interest. A secure Iraq which is not a breeding ground for terrorists, which offers prospects for the people, and which contributes to regional stability is ultimately the most effective means to tackle the causes of displacement and illegal migration. Iraqis are still the second-largest group of asylum seekers in Germany after Syrians. Particularly in light of this, continuing our engagement in the Global Coalition against Daesh is and will remain more than sensible.
In the end we found, I believe, a good compromise for the design of the extension to the mandate, one that takes account of current developments in Iraq. In our view, the support of the Iraqi Government remains crucial. We will make this clear in our talks. So we have decided to review our engagement in training in six months ensuring that the future Iraqi Government continues to approve of it. That is, to my mind, a more than legitimate concern.
Ladies and gentlemen, civilian engagement will remain an outstanding focus of our commitment. We want to do our part to tackle the root causes of radicalisation and extremism on the ground for the long term. We will therefore continue to participate in stabilisation measures too, such as mine and ordnance clearance, or by supporting the local agricultural sector. Our commitment on the ground not only meets with great approval, but is of great importance. It is right not to abandon people halfway through.
In seeking an extension of the mandate, the Federal Government wants to continue to shoulder responsibility in a multilateral alliance to fight international terrorism. I ask for your support in this.

We went cross country skiing with a group at a wilderness center and it was actually a lot of fun. I wasn't expecting to enjoy cross country skiing, but I did. What I didn't love was the cold, so when we went to my sister-in-law's afterwards and she had this spicy lentil soup ready, I was very thankful.
Once I tasted it, I immediately asked my sister-in-law for the recipe. I noticed that I wasn't the only one that day who asked for the recipe. It's that good!
This spicy red lentil soup is so delicious. It especially hits the spot on a cold winter day after cross country skiing!
Saute 2 chopped onions in 2 tsp. olive oil.
1/2 – 1 tsp. cayenne pepper.
Cover and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat and simmer 25-30 minutes or until lentils are tender.
Blend half the soup in the blender until smooth or use a hand blender in the pot for all the soup.
Return to saucepan and stir in 1 can evaporated milk.
Simmer 5 minutes longer until hot.
If you are looking for a lentil soup that is less spicy and has more vegetables, my healthy lentil soup recipe is delicious as well.
This spicy red lentil soup is perfect to come in to on a cold winter day.
1/2 - 1 tsp. cayenne pepper.
Add 3 garlic cloves, 2 tsp. ground cumin, 1/2 tsp. paprika, 1/2 - 1 tsp. cayenne pepper and cook for 1 minute.
Add 7 cups chicken broth, 1 1/2 cups dry red lentils (rinse first), 2 Tbsp. tomato paste, and the bay leaf.
There is something very cozy about Sloppy Joes, especially when served in the winter. It's a meal that brings me back to my childhood and I assume will someday be one that brings my kids back to theirs! This sloppy joes recipe has that classic taste, but in the convenience of a freezer meal.
This make ahead sloppy joes recipe has a bit of zip in it from the chili sauce. These can be heated either in the slow cooker or on the stovetop.
There's no reason that Sloppy Joes can't be enjoyed by people who eat gluten free if they are served on gluten free buns. I've included gluten free instructions in case. Of course, if you are not on a gluten free diet, you can make this the same way and use your favourite buns.
You can double, triple or quadruple this recipe and separate them into freezer bags to have Sloppy Joes on hand for busy days.
Where did Sloppy Joes get their name?
The "Joe" part of the Sloppy Joes is a bit of a mystery, but it's easy to see where the "sloppy" part came from! Be sure to have napkins on hand. These are messy to eat, but that's part of the fun!
Some say that the name derived from a cafe in Sioux City, Iowa with a cook named Joe who added tomato sauce to his loose meat sandwiches way back in the 1930s, while others insist that the name came from the famous Key West, Florida restaurant, Sloppy Joe's Bar.
A smaller percentage of people insist that the name was born in Havana at Sloppy Joe's Saloon. It's hard to know for sure, but all agree that loose meat plus tomato sauce and sometimes other fillers served on a bun has earned the moniker "Sloppy Joes". Based on an ad campaign from back in the 70s or 80s, they also became known by their nickname, the "Manwich"!
*If you are making this sloppy joes recipe gluten free, be sure to use a gluten free Worcestershire sauce.
To put this meal together, brown the ground beef. Mix the ground beef and all the other ingredients in a bowl and put into a large resealable freezer bag. Remove the excess air and seal. Lay flat and freeze.
On cooking day, take the bag out of the freezer to thaw. Cook in a crock pot for 2-3 hours on low or cook in a pot on the stovetop until heated through. Serve on regular or gluten free buns, sliced in half.
Our family's preference for gluten free buns is Udi's whole grain gluten free hamburger buns. They are a great size and consistency for Sloppy Joes.
There's lots of ways you can dress up or personalize this family favourite meal. You can add pickles to the buns or top with cheese. You can butter the buns or leave them plain. You can even top these with potato chips (yes, really!). However you choose to serve them, this is one recipe your kids are sure to enjoy.
This recipe is included in our Kid Friendly Freezer Meal Menu Plan. The other recipes are also kid-pleasers and the plan includes printable shopping lists, prep lists and printable labels making it easy to fill your freezer with meals your family will actually eat.

It's always hard to get an appetizing picture of a crock pot supper and this was no exception, but this casserole is really a kid pleaser! I often make a gluten free version of it, so I will be including that in my instructions below. This crock pot pizza casserole is also a freezer meal, so it saves time all around.
Having freezer to crock pot recipes on hand saves me so much time and sanity. This is one of the regular meals in my rotation. When I make it, I make two or four of these recipes at a time. The recipe below is for one meal, but if you want to make several at a time to freeze, then multiply the ingredients accordingly.
I find that most kids (mine included) are willing to try anything with "pizza" in the name. This meal is super kid friendly because it has pizza flavours combined with a home cooked comfort food feel.
If your kids won't eat mushrooms and green peppers, you can either leave them out, or you can get a little bit sneaky. If you choose to go the sneaky route, just blend the mushrooms and green peppers into the tomato sauce. They'll never know the veggies are there, but you'll know they are getting more nutrients!
To make this into a freezer meal, mix all the ingredients except for the pasta in a large resealable freezer bag.
Place 2 cups of pasta in a medium sized resealable freezer bag. Seal both bags and staple them together. Be sure to staple above the seal to avoid leaks. Lay flat in the the freezer.
On the day you want to serve it, thaw, put the ingredients from the large bag into the crock pot and cook for 4 hours on low. Cook the pasta on the stovetop according to the package directions and drain. Stir the noodles into the casserole just before serving.
To make this gluten free, ensure that you use gluten free ham. Much of the ham sold in stores contains fillers that include gluten, so read the labels carefully. Use gluten free pasta of course.
This recipe is very adaptable for those on gluten free diets and we enjoy it just as much with the gluten free pasta.
This freezer to crock pot pizza casserole is sure to become a meal that your family loves!

One of our daughters has a tree nut allergy and for many years, has wanted to try a certain chocolate and nut spread, but of course due to her allergy, we can't even have it in the house. To say that she (and my other kids) are excited that there is now a chocolate and peanut butter spread that is safe for her to eat is an understatement.
The fact that it happens to be Reese Spreads, a taste they love made it even better. There were some squeals of glee and many suggestions of how we might be able to use it. The kids of course think that it is delicious on toast and used instead of the chocolate in s'mores, but they also seem to think that it's pretty perfect eaten right out of the jar on a spoon. I have to admit that I quite agree with them!
Inspired by the chocolate peanut buttery goodness, I created this simple 3 ingredient recipe for salted chocolate peanut butter popcorn that was devoured as quickly as it was made. I only managed to snag a few kernels for myself before my kids polished off the entire recipe! It's a good thing it's so easy to make.
Pop the popcorn in whatever way you choose. I have an air popper but you can choose a stovetop method or the microwave if that's what you prefer.
Pour the salted Reese Spreads over the popped popcorn and lay out flat on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle with the remaining sea salt.
Put the baking sheet into the freezer to harden.
*Please note that microwave oven temperatures vary so you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly. You can also make this ahead of time and freeze it in resealable bags, being sure to take out excess air. This will ensure that you always have a delicious snack to serve if company pops by unexpectedly or just to enjoy during family movie night.

My love of nachos is well documented and well known! For me, nachos are the ultimate in comfort food so I simply came up with a way to be able to eat them in the morning. Breakfast nachos carry all the taste and comfort of regular nachos.
When I first thought of this idea, I wasn't sure if they would live up to the taste I imagined but they did not disappoint!
These make a great family breakfast because they can all be made on one tray at the same time. It also offers many topping possibilities. I made mine meatless but you could easily add crumbled bacon or scrambled sausage. As long as you use gluten free hash brown patties, this dish is gluten free.
Preheat oven to 450°. Line a cookie sheet with one layer of frozen hash brown patties*. This worked out to be 12 patties on my tray. Sprinkle with taco seasoning. To ensure lower sodium and no gluten, I use my own homemade taco seasoning.
Bake for 15-20 minutes. If you are using a regular baking tray, you will want to flip them over halfway through baking time. I used a stoneware baking sheet, so flipping wasn't needed.
You want the hash browns to be crispy because you want that nice crunch.
*If gluten free is a consideration, you will want to be sure to use gluten free hash brown patties.
After taking the hash browns out of the oven, turn the oven down to 350°. Top the hash browns with shredded cheese (I used a blend of cheddar, jalapeño jack and mozzarella), diced red peppers, diced onions (I used purple onions but green or white onions would work equally well), diced tomatoes, diced green chilies, and chopped jalapeños. Be sure to seed the jalapeños if you don't want too much heat.
Add any other toppings such as crumbled, cooked bacon or scramble fried ground sausage. Top with a bit more grated cheese.
Bake in 350° oven for about 5 more minutes, until cheese is melted. Serve with salsa, hot sauce or sour cream if desired.
My kids had seconds of the breakfast nachos (and one had thirds!) so I would say that this was a big hit!

Our son Einstein is on a gluten free diet. I am determined that he won't have to miss out on things, especially during the holidays and on special occasions. Last Christmas, among other gluten free treats, I made him these Chocolate Toffee cookies using a gluten free cake mix. This year, I decided to play around with the recipe a bit and make some other cake mix cookie variations.
A cookie recipe like this is especially handy for someone who isn't gluten free and therefore doesn't have gluten free flours in their kitchen. All you need is to buy a gluten free cake mix box. After that, all you'll need is eggs, vegetable oil, and your choice of mix-ins and you're set.
If you are attending or hosting an event where you know there will be those who can't have gluten, you can still make these easily. Plus, they are delicious!
*Note: The gluten free cake mixes seem to vary in terms of how dry they are, so sometimes 2 eggs is not enough to make these stay together. Start by adding two eggs and the oil to the cake mix. If you find that the dough isn't holding together well enough and is very dry, add another egg.
Put icing sugar (also called powdered sugar) in a small bowl. Mix together the basic dough and shape into balls. Roll the balls in the icing sugar and place on a cookie sheet. Leave space in between the cookies as they will get flatter as they cook. Bake in a 350° oven for 8-10 minutes. When you take them out of the oven, slap the cookie sheet down on the counter. This will help flatten the cookies a bit more.
Mix M+Ms or mini M+Ms into the basic cookie batter. Form balls and place on a cookie sheet, leaving room in between the cookies as they will expand as they flatten. Bake in a 350° oven for 8-10 minutes. When you take them out of the oven, slap the cookie sheet down on the counter.
Stir white chocolate chips and coarsely chopped almonds into the basic chocolate cookie dough. Form balls and place them on a cookie sheet, leaving plenty of space in between them. Bake in a 350° oven for 8-10 minutes. When you take them out of the oven, slap the cookie sheet down on the counter. This will further flatten the cookies.
This recipe yields at least 4 dozen cookies.
I made all three variations using just one cake box, so I didn't give exact amounts for the white chocolate chips, icing sugar, M+Ms, and almonds because the amounts will vary depending on if you are making the entire box into one type or making two or three types with the one basic batter.
And of course, if you want a fourth variation, you can always make gluten free chocolate toffee cookies. These are also made with the same basic cookie dough. You'll love these cookies!

And of course, if you want a fourth variation, you can always make gluten free chocolate toffee cookies. These are also made with the same basic cookie dough. You'll love these cookies!

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AFNS) --
"In the Air Force we all have a family, but (for) an all-Black crew to come together and achieve such a remarkable thing is nothing short of amazing," said Capt. David Brown, 22nd Airlift Squadron pilot and aircraft commander.
A crew of 27 Black Airmen from Travis Air Force Base flew a heritage flight on a C-5M Super Galaxy, honoring Tuskegee Airmen, Feb. 19-21 — a rare feat as only 2% of the Air Force are pilots and only 2% of those pilots are Black, according to Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr.
"When I was a captain, I did an interview for Air Force Times, and it talked about the percentage of African Americans that were pilots," Gen. Brown said in an article published by Airman Magazine in Dec. 2020. "It was 2%. That was 30 years ago. You know what it is right now? It's still 2%."
Capt. Brown explained that the historic mission was intended to demonstrate that any minority group could be an aviator in the Air Force, and it was deeply meaningful to the Airmen involved.
"This was a once in a lifetime flight," said Capt. Brown. "Being part of an all-Black crew is kind of like having someone on board who gets everything about you. I believe something like this should happen multiple times a year."
Capt. Jeff Jordan, 321st Air Mobility Operations Squadron C-17 Globemaster III pilot and a third-generation service member, echoed Capt. Brown's sentiment.
"When I was a young boy, I never envisioned being a pilot," Jordan said. "I never saw a Black pilot before, so I never considered flying a plane even though that was my dream."
Today, Jordan is a part of the small percentage of Black aviators that Gen. Brown discussed, something Jordan said he hopes changes in the future.
"Being one who is in the 2% of the 2% is something I take pride in," Jordan said. "It's also something I want desperately to change."
Jordan said the all-Black flight represents a world of opportunities for Black youth.
"Seeing Black leaders in our schools, communities, Air Force, and honestly anywhere for that matter, redefines what young Black kids set as goals for their lives," Jordan said. "Tuskegee Airmen started the path for us, and it is imperative that we continue to pave the road for future generations."
Part of the crew's trip included a visit to Naval Air Station Cecil Field, Florida, where 30 Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets toured the aircraft and interacted with the crew — an experience that had a profound impact on one cadet.
"We had a young Black man in the cockpit and he couldn't help but get emotional when he saw four Black pilots," Jordan said. "He left our aircraft and said, 'This changed my life. You all look like me, laugh like me, we are the same, and I know I can pursue this life. I can do this.'"
That is the goal of an experience like this, Capt. Brown said.
"Believe in yourself," he said. "I'm not supposed to be here — I'm from a small conservative background, no planes around, airfields or any of that. Being able to come out of that environment, make something of myself and be a pilot in the United States Air Force as a minority feels surreal."

A record-breaking group of JCB apprentices had two reasons to celebrate at the launch of National Apprenticeships Week on Monday (March 4th).
A total of 79 apprentices were awarded their apprenticeship certificates – at the same time as getting coveted contracts of employment with the Staffordshire-based digger maker.
The group is the biggest in the history of JCB to graduate as Level 2 and 3 apprentices in a single year. They received their awards from JCB directors at a special graduation ceremony at JCB's World Headquarters, Rocester.
JCB has a long history of recruiting apprentices and this year marks 55 years since the first intake of nine completed their training and were presented with their apprenticeship certificates by company founder Joseph Cyril Bamford.
· Adam Parkins, 29, from Alfreton, Derbyshire. Married with four young children, he left school aged 16 to pursue a professional rugby career with Premiership clubs Leicester Tigers and Northampton Saints, where he remained until he was 27. He is now a welder and assembler working on the iconic JCB Loadall production line, at Rocester.
· Wesley Hemmings-Topliss, 19, from Burton. Having studied a BTEC at college, the former Thomas Alleynes High School, Uttoxeter, student found work as an office cleaner at JCB. He saw his friends studying apprenticeships with the company and decided he wanted a career making the machines too. He is now a welder in the JCB Hydraulic Business Unit, at Rocester.
· Tom Clarke, 29, from Stafford, a former team leader at Screwfix, Stafford, where he was in charge of almost 100 people. Tom has become JCB's first Level 2 Health and Safety Apprentice with the company's Loadall division, at Rocester.


It's "the most wonderful time of the year," so you know what that means.
They're baaack. The grinning elves with their cheery red buckets. Every December they seem to multiply. This year they're even stationed outside Walgreens.
With list in hand, I drive to the nearest mall to begin shopping. I crane my neck to scope out the store entrances. Yes. Both doors. I can't escape them, so I pull in the nearest space. I walk briskly to the door, head down, hoping I can get by without being acknowledged.
And I mutter to myself. Why do they have to be out here constantly? Christmas is stressful enough without someone asking for donations everywhere you go.
I manage a quick smile. "Hello, yes, Merry Christmas. I'm fine…just running in for a few things. So much to do . . ." Drat, couldn't get by this time.
When my shopping's done, I plan my exit. And get ready for the guilt. It doesn't matter how much I've already given to others in need. There's always the guilt that I didn't plunk a coin in that swinging red bucket. Even if I gave going in, I feel they want more as I leave.
Inwardly I shout, "I already gave at the office!" And at church. And online to many charities. Heck, I even bought Christmas gifts for a whole family! But somehow it doesn't feel right. It wouldn't change a thing.
They'd still be there, ringing and smiling. And expecting more.
My obsession with bell-ringers turns into a study in personalities. Some bell ringers cheerfully call out as shoppers whiz by. One sings ditties or carols. Annoying. Others keep quiet and let their bells do the talking. But their eyes find you no matter how fast you sprint by. Ringing, ringing, incessant ringing. The other day, a woman with reindeer ears sat next to her bucket, talking on a cell phone. Really? She looked up briefly to say "Merry Christmas" as I entered the drug store. She was still on the phone when I left twenty minutes later.
Sheesh. Do they pay these people? No way would I contribute to her bucket.
This year I tried a different strategy from bell-dodging. I made a game plan after Thanksgiving—instead of defense, I would play offense. I anticipated the bell ringers clanging with fresh vigor, and I was ready for them. Instead of being irritated, I'd be intentional. Instead of hanging my head and streaking by, I'd smile and speak. Instead of escaping, I would embrace.
I made a contribution to each one. Each time. No matter how much of a hurry I was in.
The amount didn't matter. Whatever I had, I gave. After a few times, I got excited. How much could I give? How much was I going to spend in the store? I'd give a portion of my shopping bill or match it if I could. It became a game I actually enjoyed playing.
I received heartfelt thank-yous. And bless-yous. Lord knows, I need those! My smiles back at the bell ringers were real, too. "You're welcome." "God bless." No more avoiding.
Maybe next year I'll take the plunge and volunteer to ring my own bell for charity. And shout "Merry Christmas!" Wouldn't that be ironic? Maybe I could even convert a few Grinches into givers myself.


"This kid came on as a freshman and just think if he had started the whole season, what he would have done. That's what's so amazing," said Walker, who was also impressed that Chubb came out of the season healthy, and continued to work hard.
"One thing I like about him, the game is over, practice is over, and the kid is still out there working out," Walker said. "That's just the sign of a good athlete. That's a sign that he's doing things he needs to get done."
One more reason Walker loves Chubb: His workload. Walker said it was "absolutely amazing" to see Chubb carry the ball 30 times in several games last year, in an era when he said teams use "a choir" of tailbacks in each game.
This week was the first time Walker had spoken to Chubb. Walker had been to some games and said he was offered a chance to talk to Chubb, but preferred to let him focus on the game.
"Gurley being here, and then you've got Chubb. People forgot about (Keith) Marshall. People have totally forgot about Marshall. Marshall is an excellent running back. then you've got Sony Michel. I'm like guys, You've got a ton of running backs here," Walker said.
"But then you've got Chubb, who's not gonna give up the position. He's saying, You know what guys, I'm not gonna carry it 15, I'm gonna carry it 30, if you all can get anything out of that then more power to you. I think that's what's amazing."
Walker, 53, spends most of his time in California these days. He still ranks as one of the top running backs in college football history, with 5,259 rushing yards and 49 touchdowns, and winning the Heisman Trophy in 1982. He finished his pro career with nearly 14,000 rushing yards, including his three years in the USFL.
But at the NFL level the running back position is being devalued, with tailbacks being considered interchangable. It's part of the reason Gurley isn't considered a surefire first round pick.
Walker attributes it to the proliferation of the West Coast offense in the NFL, which puts more emphasis on the pass.
"But if you notice, when people want to win games, or when they want to talk about a good team, they always talk about a team that can run the ball," Walker said. "When they want to win a game you don't see them wanting to throw the ball anymore, they want to run it."
Marshaw Lynch and the Seattle Seahawks would probably agree.

Could it be that the Donald has emerged from the populist circuses of pro wrestling and New York City tabloids, via reality television and Twitter, to prove Plato and James Madison right, that democracies "have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths"? Is he testing democracy's singular weakness — its susceptibility to the demagogue — by blasting through the firewalls we once had in place to prevent such a person from seizing power?
Trump, we now know, had been considering running for president for decades. Despite his immense wealth and inherited privilege, Trump had always cultivated a common touch. He did not hide his wealth in the late-20th century — he flaunted it in a way that connected with the masses. He lived the rich man's life most working men dreamed of — endless glamour and women, for example — without sacrificing a way of talking about the world that would not be out of place on the construction sites he regularly toured. His was a cult of democratic aspiration.
Trump assiduously cultivated this image and took to reality television as a natural. Each week, for 14 seasons of The Apprentice, he would look someone in the eye and tell them, "You're fired!" In retrospect, it is clear he was training — both himself and his viewers. If you want to understand why a figure so widely disliked nonetheless powers toward the election as if he were approaching a reality-TV-show finale, look no further. His television tactics, as applied to presidential debates, wiped out rivals used to a different game. And all our reality-TV training has conditioned us to hope he'll win — or at least stay in the game till the final round.
In Eric Hoffer's classic 1951 tract, The True Believer, he sketches the dynamics of a genuine mass movement. Hoffer's core insight was to locate the source of all truly mass movements in a collective sense of acute frustration. Mass movements, he notes rarely arise when oppression or misery is at its worst (say, 2009); they tend to appear when the worst is behind us but the future seems not so much better (say, 2016). It is when a recovery finally gathers speed and some improvement is tangible but not yet widespread that the anger begins to rise. After the suffering of recession or unemployment, and despite hard work with stagnant or dwindling pay, the future stretches ahead with relief just out of reach. When those who helped create the last recession face no consequences but renewed fabulous wealth, the anger reaches a crescendo.
This is an age in which a woman might succeed a black man as president, but also one in which a member of the white working class has declining options to make a decent living. This is a time when gay people can be married in 50 states, even as working-class families are hanging by a thread. It's a period in which we have become far more aware of the historic injustices that still haunt African-Americans, and yet we treat the desperate plight of today's white working class as an afterthought. And so late-stage capitalism is creating a righteous, revolutionary anger that late-stage democracy has precious little ability to moderate or constrain — and has actually helped exacerbate.
The white working class, having had their morals roundly mocked, their religion deemed primitive, and their economic prospects decimated, now find their very gender and race, indeed the very way they talk about reality, described as a kind of problem for the nation to overcome. This is just one aspect of what Trump has masterfully signaled as "political correctness" run amok, or what might be better described as the newly rigid progressive passion for racial and sexual equality of outcome, rather than the liberal aspiration to mere equality of opportunity.
Much of the newly energized left has come to see the white working class not as allies but primarily as bigots, misogynists, racists, and homophobes, thereby condemning those often at the near-bottom rung of the economy to the bottom rung of the culture as well. A struggling white man in the heartland is now told to "check his privilege" by students at Ivy League colleges. Even if you agree that the privilege exists, it's hard not to empathize with the object of this disdain. These working-class communities, already alienated, hear — how can they not? — the glib and easy dismissals of "white straight men" as the ultimate source of all our woes. They smell the condescension and the broad generalizations about them — all of which would be repellent if directed at racial minorities.
But the most powerful engine for such a movement — the thing that gets it off the ground, shapes and solidifies and entrenches it — is always the evocation of hatred. And so Trump launched his campaign by calling undocumented Mexican immigrants a population largely of rapists and murderers. He moved on to Muslims, both at home and abroad. He has now added to these enemies — with sly brilliance — the Republican Establishment itself. And what makes Trump uniquely dangerous in the history of American politics is his response to all three enemies. It's the threat of blunt coercion and dominance.
And so after demonizing most undocumented Mexican immigrants, he then vowed to round up and deport all 11 million of them by force. Somehow people didn't immediately recognize the monstrous historical echoes. Worse, he emphasized, after the mass murder in San Bernardino, that even the Muslim-Americans you know intimately may turn around and massacre you at any juncture. "There's something going on," he declaimed ominously, giving legitimacy to the most hysterical and ugly of human impulses.
To call this fascism doesn't do justice to fascism. Fascism had, in some measure, an ideology and occasional coherence that Trump utterly lacks. But his movement is clearly fascistic in its demonization of foreigners, its hyping of a threat by a domestic minority, its focus on a single supreme leader of what can only be called a cult, and its deep belief in violence and coercion in a democracy that has heretofore relied on debate and persuasion.
And what's notable about Trump's supporters is precisely what one would expect from members of a mass movement: their intense loyalty. Trump is their man, however inarticulate they are when explaining why. He's tough, he's real, and they've got his back, especially when he is attacked by all the people they have come to despise: liberal Democrats and traditional Republicans. At rallies, whenever a protester is hauled out, you can almost sense the rising rage of the collective identity venting itself against a lone dissenter and finding a catharsis of sorts in the brute force a mob can inflict on an individual. Trump tells the crowd he'd like to punch a protester in the face or have him carried out on a stretcher. No modern politician who has come this close to the presidency has championed violence in this way. It would be disqualifying if our hyperdemocracy hadn't already abolished disqualifications.
Like all tyrants, Trump is utterly lacking in self-control. Once again, Plato had his temperament down: A tyrant is a man "not having control of himself [who] attempts to rule others"; a man flooded with fear and love and passion, while having little or no ability to restrain or moderate them; a "real slave to the greatest fawning," a man who "throughout his entire life ... is full of fear, overflowing with convulsions and pains." Sound familiar? Trump is as mercurial and as unpredictable and as emotional as the daily Twitter stream. And we are contemplating giving him access to the nuclear codes.
It may be that demographics will save us. America is no longer an overwhelmingly white country, and Trump's signature issue — illegal immigration — is the source of his strength but also of his weakness. Nonetheless, it's worth noting how polling models have consistently misread the breadth of his support.

Erasure singles chronology
"Don't Say You Love Me"
(2005) "Here I Go Impossible Again"
(2005) "Boy"
"Here I Go Impossible Again" is a song written and recorded by British synthpop duo Erasure. It appears on the band's eleventh studio album Nightbird and Mute Records released this song together with "All This Time Still Falling Out of Love" (also from Nightbird) as a double A-side, the third single release from this album.
Written and produced by Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, "Here I Go Impossible Again" features graceful synthesized instrumentation and a smooth vocal delivery from Bell (due to his intricate, multi-layered background parts). "Here I Go Impossible Again" was remixed slightly for its radio mix. As they had done with previous single "Breathe", Erasure provided downloadable software on the compact disc single which allowed buyers to create their own remix of the track.
The double A-sided single peaked at number twenty-five on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Erasure's thirty-first UK Top 40 single.
A cover version of the song was recorded by Australian artist Peter Wilson (singer) for his album Pulsation in 2013.

Sorry, but I'll have to disagree with you about this one. Wholeheartedly. If you have the idea that you're "bad at math" then you're simply wrong. Dead wrong. How do I know this? Because no one was worse at Math than I was. I was at the bottom of my class throughout my teens and was convinced that Math is nothing but a torture device in the hands of my sadistic teachers.
Last week I published a post describing my personal Math journey. Several people have commented on the article on social media to the effect of: "I'm bad at Math". the purpose of this post is to thoroughly disabuse them of this notion.
In his 2015 TED Talk, Mr. Sal Khan argues that the approach taken to teach math today in most public schools accounts for the high failure rate in the subject. Students are grouped together, typically by age and are shepherd together through the curriculum. Every few weeks the students will receive a test to asses their knowledge and regardless of how each individual student did on the test the class — as a whole — would move on to the next subject.
That, right there, is the heart of the problem. You see, mathematical concepts build on one another. You can't understand Algebra without first understanding Arithmetic. Similarly, you can't understand Calculus without understanding Algebra first. It's just the way it is. But remember that time you got 85% or even 95% in your Math test when you were in middle school? Well, guess what? That gap was never corrected and later on when you tried to tackle the next subject you were missing 5%-15% of the required knowledge to understand it. So now you're only getting 70% on your next test and soon enough you'll be well on your way to hate Math and anyone and anything connected with it.
To appreciate how absurd that is, imagine if we did other things in our life that way. Say, home-building.
OK, so that's all nice and good. But you might be asking yourself: "yea, but why do I need to learn Math? I got it that you're excited about Math and all that. Why do I need to care?" Well, if you're reading this post, chances are that you're a programmer. While many programmers try — and to varying degrees succeed — at ignoring Math, they are painting themselves into a very tight corner. Computer Science has its roots firmly established in Mathematics and therefore ignoring Math means ignoring the very foundation upon which the entire subject rests on.
Eventually, automation will catch up to the more trivial tasks of programming and those with only superficial understanding of the subject will be at risk of being replaced — ironically — by their own tools.
OK, so hopefully by now I convinced you that you're not "bad" at Math. That you're not lacking some mysterious Math gene and that Math is not something that is reserved to the exceptionally smart.
When I signed up I decided to swallow my pride and start at the very beginning. Yes, I was doing arithmetic and kindergarten level Math again. But since I was doing it at my own home, on my own time, no one was there to judge me or tease me. And by doing so I was making sure that I was covering every gap in my Math education. And you know what? I found gaps as early as the 1st or 2nd grade!
Next thing you know I was gaining ground and tackling more and more complex subjects. These same subjects I flunked throughout my high school years. So I know it can be done, because I've done it.
Yea, it's amazing how far you can go even with shaky foundations.
In my profession (programming) I see people tinker with code without really knowing what they're doing all the time. "Let me add a plus sign here, remove that thing from there. That doesn't look too important".
And they even get things "to work". Only problem is, it's hanging by a loose thread. Tomorrow somebody is going to find some other issue so they'll tinker with that. They'll "fix" it while breaking 10 other things. That will keep them busy for months.
Things just sort of accidentally work.
I rather go back to kindergarten and admit I don't know. So that one day I would.

Time for change in Dorset
Three councils in Dorset have launched the country's first pan-council local authority trading company. Added to this there are plans to merge some or all of the councils in the region. Is this the future for local authorities? What does it mean for providers?
Local authority trading companies (LATCs) are growing as alternative ways for local authorities to deliver services. A recent report by Grant Thornton, Alternative service delivery models in local government – Spreading their wings: Building a successful local authority trading company sets out the main drivers for local authorities to take this route. 'As councils have come under financial pressure, they have considered how to reduce costs, generate income and improve efficiency by introducing commercial structures. For many councils, the use of LATCs is a step towards becoming self-financing.
'We predict that the number of LATCs will grow in the next five years. The main reason for this growth is local government's desire to generate income to protect other services. Secondary drivers include:
The need for certain services to be separate from councils to allow them to compete in a wider geographical area;
A view that greater commercialisation will drive efficiency;
A view that certain services are non-essential to the council and would be better managed separately.'
Tricuro
Bournemouth Borough Council, Borough of Poole and Dorset County Council have come together to launch their LATC, Tricuro. The first pan-council LATC and reported to be the largest in the country, it sees the transfer of a number of all three councils' existing adult care services, with a budget of over £38m and employing over 1,200 staff.
Transferred services include residential care; reablement; day services including skills training for independent living; shared lives; care catering services; Oh Crumbs! offering people with a disability opportunities to develop work skills and experience; support time and recovery for people with mental health conditions; and training projects including employment-related skills training for people with a disability.
Tricuro was set up to improve value for money through a partnership between the three councils and the LATC, which incentivises services to improve. It also enables the councils to hold managers to account for quality and financial performance. It enables significant cultural change within the workforce and management which should allow Tricuro to make efficiency savings and provide the council with a year-on-year reduction in costs. Tricuro can also generate additional income through trading with self-funders and other public bodies. This would keep the revenue within the LATC or the councils, so it could be reinvested in additional services. It is also hoped that it will develop an entrepreneurial culture by encouraging new ideas and services from staff and combining all three local authorities' public sector perspectives with private sector discipline.
Although LATCs are increasingly being set up by councils, a joint, county-wide approach, taking on the services and pooling the resources of three different authorities is unique. As with other LATCs, it opens up the councils' services to a wider audience, meaning they can be purchased by those receiving direct payments, carers and self-funders.
As a large provider of services, it is hoped that Tricuro will enjoy a 'significant market position within the independent sector – making market penetration easier and with a high profile brand and reputation.' It also enables smaller council run services to work alongside their new counterparts and offer services to residents that were traditionally outside their area.
Merging councils
In addition to the launch of Tricuro in September, it was also announced that a group of councils in Dorset is exploring plans to become a new, single unitary authority. The proposals have been set out by Bournemouth Borough Council, Borough of Poole, Christchurch Borough Council and East Dorset District Council. If agreed, the new council would be formed in April 2019 and would become the eighth largest local authority in England.
The councils involved say that the benefits are expected to be numerous and include:
Cost savings and more efficient service provision, through economies of scale, reduced management, better use of assets and buildings, and rationalisation of suppliers.
Better strategic planning.
Greater access to funding nationally and internationally.
Enhanced economic growth opportunities.
However, some Dorset councils were already looking into becoming a combined authority when this proposal was put forward. Draft proposals were exploring the possibility of the combined authority covering Bournemouth Borough Council; Dorset County Council; Christchurch Borough Council; East Dorset District Council; North Dorset District Council; Purbeck District Council; West Dorset District Council; Weymouth and Portland Borough Council; and Poole Borough Council.
Dorset County Council leader, Robert Gould said at the time of the single unitary council announcement, 'There are so many public services which operate on a pan-Dorset basis that a more ambitious devolution plan should look towards one unitary authority for the whole county. Our priority is to identify the most cost-effective public service model for Dorset and all its communities. We need to develop a business case which is based on sound evidence and puts the people of Dorset at the heart of any decision.
'There is a great deal more work to be done but I believe evidence is likely to show that a new single unitary council for the whole county will deliver the best outcomes for local people and make the best use of limited public money.'
Over to the experts…
Dorset councils are taking significant steps to manage the impact of ongoing budget pressures and efficiency savings. LATCs are more able to compete with private providers than traditional council-run services. As such, what does Tricuro mean for providers in the region? Also, does the clear intention to merge the councils in some way highlight the urgency of the situation facing local authorities across the country? What does a merger in Dorset mean for services, authorities, and providers in the region?
An extension of well-developed business acumen
Has the future already arrived or has the past caught up with the present? Local government is the most innovative part of public services according to the Cabinet Office and innovation is booming.
This example is just one of many innovative ways of trying to tackle the long standing issue of getting value for money while continuing to meet need. It sets in motion a new narrative on the relationship and dynamic between council and individual.
Councils are reeling from budget cuts (the ADASS Budget Survey 2015 calculates a 31% reduction in adult social care (ASC) budgets over the last five years) and the numbers of people living longer with complex long-term conditions is set to increase.
Integration of services isn't new. Councils have been experimenting and implementing different ways of organising themselves almost since local government began. This is why, wherever you live, your experiences of services will differ, although your outcomes should be the same.
What is important is not so much the ethos, but whether individual personalised improved health and wellbeing outcomes are met and that individuals are protected from abuse. These are the marks of a civilised society and ASC must keep its eye firmly on these long-held principles.
Equally, it is vitally important that as well as securing quality outcomes, the interests of staff are protected. It is impossible to dislocate an enthused, well-trained and well-remunerated staff from a well-cared-for, secure and safeguarded public.
The experiment in Pan-Dorset of LATCs is an innovative extension of the existing, well-developed business acumen that councils have grown over the past 30 years. We shall all watch the changes with interest whilst giving every encouragement as we usher in the future face of local government.
Ray James, President, Association of Directors of Adult Social Services
Innovation will undoubtedly help councils
The squeeze on local authority funding is expected to tighten further with the forthcoming Spending Review. At a time when funding is being reduced, demand is growing. The pressures of an ageing population are particularly acute in the areas represented by the County Councils Network (CCN), where the number of over 65s significantly outstrips other parts of the country.
Even if Government listens to calls for additional ring-fenced funding for social care, councils will need to deliver innovative efficiency savings to continue to sustain vital services.
LATCs, such as the pan-Dorset initiative, are a shining example of what local partners can do together. By taking a commercial approach to service provision, LATCs have the potential to reduce costs while generating income for sustaining, improving and investing in local services. Tricuro follows in the line of other counties in developing LATCs which seek to provide community-based, preventative services, to keep people independent for longer and reduce long-term, recurring demand on both health and social care.
The use of LATCs will grow. A recent CCN survey of county leaders showed that 61% felt that traded services are regarded as an effective or very effective means of mitigating funding reductions over the next five years.
Whilst innovation will help councils meet the fiscal challenges, the merging of authorities or dreaded words of 'local government re-organisation' will never be far away. It's clear that any proposal would need to be voluntarily agreed to by all partners to gain any traction with Government. It would also need to deliver the economies of scale to ensure it has the necessary economic benefits and efficiencies across public service providers. The Dorset proposal spans only part of Dorset and would seem to have neither to entice Government to take it seriously.
James Maker, Policy Manager, County Councils Network
Who commissions the commissioners?
As providers we had heard rumours as early as May 2014 that a LATC was being considered, but it was just an 'option' and we should not worry as there would be further consultation. Fast forward to December 2014 and, without further consultation, the local newspaper announced that a landmark agreement had been reached to form a new LATC.
From the Association's perspective our concerns are around the potential advantages that will be available to the LATC and how exactly Dorset's private providers fit within this model. Our members are fully aware that county councils are facing unprecedented pressures, yet there does not seem to be the same concern and emphasis placed upon the survival of Dorset care homes. We have already seen local homes closing and are now faced with significant uncertainty over the direction that the LATC will take.
Also, what happens if the scheme should fail? As happened in Chelsea and Kensington in 2011 and Stockport in 2012. Who will pick up the pieces and, more worryingly, the cost?
The Association has seen evidence of council-run care homes in Dorset commissioning services at higher rates than they will pay the private sector. How will the council keep our commercially-sensitive contracts private when they are commissioning with their own enterprise?
More worryingly, we are further informed by the council that all the contracts have already been awarded to the LATC for a period of five years. Providers are concerned once again, as we are commissioned one year at a time. Are we already seeing nepotism from the council towards their new-born baby?
The Council has answered some of the questions we have asked, but sadly we are currently left with more questions than answers.
