The distribution handbookPART I IN WHAT WILL BE A SERIES
by Tom McCormick
In the current distribution climate, where distributors have many more brands than they are able to adequately and properly attend to, it is imperative for the supplier to take steps to gain and retain mind-share within each distributor. Many times, the distributor needs information about a particularly brand, either by request of a sales rep or a retailer. The easier it is for the distributor to access the information, the more likely that information will be passed on as a sales tool to the person in need.
An easy and effective way to make sure your distributor has easy access to the information they need about your brand and company, is to provide a "Distributor Handbook". This is typically in a spiral bound binder so that pages can easily be taken out to photocopy. Managers and sales reps should each be supplied with a copy. Often, it is a good idea to also provide a copy to key internal management such as the inventory and warehouse manger, etc.
Contents should include:
1) The brewery: This section is a synopsis of your brewery - include details that make your brewery and project interesting and different.
2) The people behind the company:
3) The products:
4) Sales support:
5) Policies and procedures:
This handbook is intended as a resource for your distributors and should be compiled in such a way so that it is easy to use. Be sure that pages can easily be taken out of book for sales staff to photocopy. Color Xerox or photographs add interest. Keep a list of what staff at each distributor has received a book. When changes are made to the content, send each staff member a copy of the new page that they can easily insert into the book. Also make sure that news employees of a distributor receive a handbook.

Gary Yates believes there are plenty of positives to take from Lancashire's draw with Kent in their LV= County Championship match at Emirates Old Trafford.
Lancashire went into the final day hopeful of being able to force a win. But after securing a 151-run first-innings lead, they were frustrated by a century from Brendan Nash, who shared an unbeaten 148-run stand with Mike Powell as Kent reached 178-2 before the players shook hands.
And although it leaves Lancashire still looking for their first win of the season, assistant coach Yates feels there is plenty to take into next week's match with Glamorgan at Colwyn Bay, which starts on Wednesday.
"We played very good cricket over the four days," said Yates. "The way the game progressed was very similar to the match against Worcestershire.
"We are delighted that it is the second match running that we have been able to get a first-innings lead of more than 100 and done it with only five wickets down at that stage.
"We are pleased with how we are playing, and frustrated that we lost quite a bit of time to the weather. Maybe if we had more time we may have been able to force a result. But fair play to Kent, they batted well and we never really got into a position to force a victory.
"We were very confident overnight of being able to force a victory, we were trying to set it up by getting a decent lead close to 200 which would have given us a good two-and-a-half sessions to bowl them out. But Kent made it difficult for us."
Simon Katich's hopes of a first century of the season were dashed in a dramatic first over of the day.
The Australian resumed his 138-run partnership with Steven Croft with Lancashire on 356-5, but he was out to the first ball he faced as he top-edged a short-pitched delivery from Matt Coles to wicketkeeper Geraint Jones without adding to his 93.
Gareth Cross then followed off the next ball as he was trapped lbw by Coles. Captain Glen Chapple fended off the hat-trick ball, and then along with Croft – who reached his 50 off the second ball of the day – upped the run rate in a bid to gain a big enough lead to put Kent under pressure.
The skipper hit 22 off 18 balls, while Croft finished with 64 as Lancashire declared on 395-7 during a rain break, giving them a minimum of 79 overs in which to force a win.
James Anderson regularly beat the bats of Sam Northeast and Rob Key, and his first six overs went for just one run, but he was unable to make the breakthrough.
In the end it was Simon Kerrigan who split the openers as he bowled Northeast for 11. And when Chapple found Key's edge and Cross took the catch, Kent were 36-2 and a Lancashire win looked possible.
But Nash and Powell put paid to that as they frustrated Lancashire, who ended with eight points and Kent five.

Your business, with the backup of a great team
Our instructor communication systems allow you to manage your workload and diary easily – by phone, or with our online diary system.
You make the decisions, you choose how and when you want to work. And you'll be able to count on us to support your business when you need it.
When you start with the AA, you'll have a great team of people behind you, and you'll have all the kudos and respect of the AA brand. We'll be your supporting network and help you handle every one of your major business decisions.
We'll assign you a dedicated adviser for your first few months and arrange meetings with your local instructor coach. You'll also be invited to road shows and seminars where you can meet the management team and other instructors and build up a support network.
To start you off, our three-day development programme will familiarise you with our processes, give advice on business planning, marketing and customer care. You'll have a chance to meet with other new AA instructors, and take delivery of your new tuition car and business-rate mobile phone.
You choose where you want to work, and the days and hours that fit around your lifestyle. A Standard Franchise will give you the benefits and support that you want.
If you are just starting out as a driving instructor, choose our Standard Franchise. It will give the best possible start to your instructor career.
The standard option has been designed for instructors who want to benefit from our quality brand name and our customer support, but also need support for pupil supply or coaching.
This option includes:
Solo cars are unbranded, so you'll be able to put your own branding on the doors.
If you're an independent instructor, you can now benefit from our 'tuition vehicle only' scheme that will provide you with a training car with all running costs except fuel and consumables included as standard.
You'll have a new car every 32 weeks, and if you have an accident or breakdown, the car will be replaced within 48 hours in most cases, to keep your business on the move. You won't be tied into a lengthy minimum hire period, and you can opt for a fast track upgrade to any other franchise option at any time to take advantage of the benefits and support enjoyed by our franchised instructors.
With the Solo scheme, all the Solo Saver benefits are included, plus:
Get the security of a trusted brand, with a lower fixed weekly fee and competitive pay-per-use mileage charge.
This option is a great new way to manage your business. The franchise comes with all the security that goes with the trusted AA Standard Franchise and the flexibility of a lower fixed weekly fee plus pay-per-use mileage charge.
An economic way to run your business with the freedom you want, plus the back-up and support from the AA when you want it – the latest innovation in driving instructor franchises.
Our Associate Franchise is an option designed for instructors who want to be part of the AA Driving School and benefit from our quality brand name and the customer support, but don't need any support for pupil supply or coaching. This option is for instructors who are experts in self-marketing and can source their own pupils.
Your tuition car is your mobile workplace, so your personal comfort and efficiency is vitally important. Our cars offer great performance and reliability, and will be a safe and comfortable environment for you and your pupils. You'll have a brand new replacement car every 32 weeks, and servicing at 12,500 mile intervals is included.
You'll have the benefit of AA breakdown cover, and in case of emergency or breakdown we'll supply a replacement car within 48 hours in most cases, to keep your business moving. If you have our Standard Franchise, the replacement car will be supplied within 24 hours in most cases.
Our standard tuition car is the Ford Fiesta 1.0 Titanium petrol manual, but with most of our franchises you'll be able to opt to upgrade to a diesel, automatic, or Ford Focus 1.6. (Cars subject to availability of vehicle stock.)
Cars for all franchise options come with:
Both models have plenty of leg and headroom, and have a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.
Your tuition car will be covered by comprehensive insurance for you and your pupils, and you can nominate a second driver (subject to acceptance) for private use.
If you've asked us for new pupils, as soon as we have a new pupil for you we'll be able to notify you quickly by SMS on your mobile.
We actively encourage you to recruit your own pupils as this helps to keep down your franchise costs, but with the standard franchise we can help provide pupils for you while you get established. We successfully generate thousands of new pupils, handled 362 days a year through our award-winning call centre in Cardiff.
Pupil introductions are on a pay-per-use basis – the low cost is covered with the first two hours of tuition, and you can opt to have a supply of new pupils whenever you need it.
To help generate pupils for your business, we run extensive marketing and advertising campaigns throughout the year covering every area of the country.
We also provide you with access to a selection of professional marketing materials which you can personalise to attract your own pupils locally.
Call us now on 0800 009 4764 to find out more, or to book your place on a course. Or you can download an information pack about our advanced courses now.
We offer a programme of courses and workshops to help driving instructors improve their skills. The courses are open to all approved driving instructors (ADI) and prospective driving instructors (PDI), and are an effective way to maximise your earnings potential.
All our courses have been developed by AA Driving School and will count towards Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and participants will receive attendance certificates.
Courses are available throughout the year at our Six Hills Training Centre in Melton Mowbray, and other centres in Basingstoke, Cardiff, Ealing, Cheadle and Newcastle upon Tyne.

Our instructor advisers can give you in-depth information about these, and other ways, in which you can develop and broaden your skills.
As a driving instructor, you might be interested in diversifying your skills to increase your income potential. We always encourage this, and provide a number of opportunities through AA Driving School and AA DriveTech.
For driving instructors who want to pass on their knowledge, experience and enthusiasm for the job to the next generation of instructors. It includes demonstrating a thorough understanding of everything about driving instruction and practice.
As part of our commitment to help reduce accidents involving newly qualified drivers, we can offer you the chance to become an accredited BTEC trainer in Driving Science. This is the world's first academic qualification in novice driver training, and your chance to pioneer a revolution in young driver training.
AA instructors can train to take advantage of the increased demand for post-test training aimed at lowering accidents due to driver error, attitudes and behaviour. Typically this training is offered following careless driving or speeding offences. This training also counts towards your Continuing Professional Development.
Our B2B teams are active in securing contracts with corporate clients to deliver driver training to company car and van drivers. By upgrading your qualifications with our corporate driver training course, you could provide assessments and training to industry fleet managers.

I have been working at Richmond American Homes full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Lots of training on product knowledge, industry, competitors, etc. Lots of opportunity to grow, decent benefits program
Cons – Corporate red tape and decision by committee bogs things down, highly corporate atmosphere (not a positive for those who are in a creative role), marketing department eventually became more of a production sweatshop
Advice to Senior Management – Allow creative people to be creative and surprise you with innovative ideas rather clinging to old, outdated Marketing ideas or brand guidelines. Allowing for some flex time or telecommuting for jobs that can permit it would also help.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

With investor caution at unprecedented highs and no end in sight to Europe's debt crisis, one investment manager thinks he has the definitive list of stocks that will maximize returns despite market volatility.
Peter Garnry, equity strategist, Saxo Bank, said that, despite the gloomy macro-economic picture, equities still represent one of the best way for investors to make money as bond yields offer investors little or nothing as seen by Germany's offering of zero percent interest on its two-year Schatz earlier this week.
Garnry's methodology is to sift through stocks and identify those that are "decoupled from the market."
Saxo Bank looks for European stocks in which returns generally are aren't tied to the movement of the overall stock market, and then factors in quality variables such stable or rising earnings per share estimates and high return on invested capital.
Garnry's top 20 picks are:
1. Coloplast
2. Paddy Power
3. Admiral
4. Intertek
5. Viscofan
6. William Hill
7. Next
8. Edenred
9. Yara International
10. Novo Nordisk
11. Rightmove
12. Ladbrokes
13. Cie Generale d'Optique Essilor International
14. London Stock Exchange
15. Cobham
16. Zodiac Aerospace
17. Nokian Renkaat
18. Lanxess
19. Rotork
20. Swedish Match .
Garnry acknowledged that his list was not exhaustive, and of course would not guarantee returns, but "this approach quantifies the stocks that are least likely to move in tandem with the Stoxx 600."
At the same time, "all of the companies listed in the second table have a high return on invested capital, which is normally a sign of quality in the underlying business," he wrote in a research note.

And that's your lot, make sure you head over to read the report - and join us again as defending champions Italy take on Paraguay at 1830 GMT.
What a strange game that was. Japan offered next to nothing going forward but grabbed a vital goal while Cameroon looked far better in most departments but couldn't find a cutting edge. Why Eto'o spent the entire 90 minutes on the right wing I'll never know.
Full time! Japan celebrate like they've already reached the second round!
ESPN Stats & Info: Forty-nine total fouls in this match is the highest combined total at this year's World Cup.
Geremi's excellent low cross is turned towards goal Eyong but Kawashima makes a good low save. The ref had blown for a foul it seems though.
Eto'o heads for goal and shoots but Tulio is in the way.
YELLOW CARD: Yuki Abe is carded for kicking the ball away.
Cameroon have four added minutes to find a goal....
This would be a hammer blow for Cameroon. I'm going out on a limb but I reckon if they don't score in the next three minutes their tournament is all but over.
SUB: Hasebe goes off and Inamoto is on for Japan. Remember him?
Honda cuts in and has a pop but Souleymanou spills a regulation shot, much like Rob Green did, but luckily for him it squirms out sideways.
ESPN Stats & Info: Lowest possession for a winning team so far this tournament? Ghana with 48% - Japan are currently on 45%.
What an effort from Mbia! He's thumped a shot against the bar from 25 yards. The 'keeper was nowhere. That was hit like a rocket.
A decent run from Honda in a rare break from Japan. Cameroon are pumping it long for Idrissou now.
ESPN Stats & Info: Japan have never scored a World Cup goal past the 75th minute. Cameroon have scored three goals past the 75th minute.
Hasebe turns and forces Souleymanou into a smart save before Okazaki's follow up crashes against the post.
SUB: Okubo is trudging off for Japan and Kisho Yano will get ten minutes or so.
Geremi's free kick is punched clear by Kawashima and as Cameroon rebuild Eto'o ball for Geremi seems to ignore the fact the former Chelsea player has no turn of pace whatsoever.
Tanaka is penalised for what looked like a good tackle. Free kick wide right for Cameroon.
All of a sudden it opens up for Idrissou and Cameroon are teo on two but the striker's touch was horrible and Tanaka gets across.
Cameroon have made three changes now and still Eto'o remains on the right flank.
SUB: Changes for Cameroon: Geremi and Idrissou come on for Choupo-Moting and Makoun.
Japan are now operating with ten players behind the ball.
Eto'o lays off to Emana but he is slow on the uptake and wastes possession.
Endo's free kick is awful. Straight out of play from the left edge of the box.
Okazaki buys a free kick off Nkoulou, who is booked for his trouble. Its outside the left of the box.
Emana tries to do too much as he charges towards the edge of the box. He had options too. Its all getting a bit desperate for Paul Le Guen's side.
SUB: Matsui goes off and Okazaki is on as Japan make their first change.
Komano does well to chield the ball from Choupoo-Moting and win a free kick.
Cameroon spread the ball wide but Webo's ball for Choupo-Moting is overhit and it is a corner rather than anything more.
Emana tries to wriggle his way into the area as he links with Eto'o but Tanaka clears.
SUB: Matip makes way for Emana as Cameroon make their change.
Kawashinma came out to try and punch the ball and all he has succeeded in doing is punching his team-mate Tanaka.
Nakazawa gets a head on the ball from a Cameroon free kick and the Lions have a corner.
Comment from JC: Cameroon have looked the better side but if they are going to open Japan up they need Eto'o up front. Defeat here would mean they'd need something from their game against Holland, which will be tricky.
Achille Emana is getting stripped on the Cameroon bench.
Assou-Ekotto is crowded out by the corner flag as he broke down the left. We haven't seen much from him going forward, unlike when he turns out for Tottenham.
Choup-Moting picks the ball up on the left before cutting inside and unleashing a shot but it dribbles wide of the near post.
Decent approach work from Japan until Matsui's cross is way over Honda's head. Better from Cameroon in this half but still only that one chance of note for them.
Super cross from Mbia but Webo can't get his header on target.
Eto'o and Choupo-Moting link again but Tanaka blocks the latter's shot.
ESPN Stats & Info: Eleven of Cameroon's 15 World Cup goals have come in the second half of matches.
That was Eto'o's first real involvement in the game and he nearly manufactured a goal. Still can't help but feel he should be up front though.
Cameroon's first real chance after Eto'o gets into the box on the right, he pulls it back but Choupo-Moting's side-footed effort curls narrowly wide of the far post. Great chance.
Okubo gets into the area chasing Hasebe's ball but takes it wide and is fouled by Bassong. Right on the touchline, just outside the box.
An early corner for Cameroon after a decent move down the left, but it comes to nothing.
We begin again...
ESPN Stats & Info: Japan has never scored a goal in both halves of a World Cup match.
Keisuke Honda nets an unlikely goal for Japan, in their first real attack.
During the break, make sure you head over and read Matthias Krug's excellent insight into North Korea - who are playing Brazil on Tuesday.
ESPN Stats & Info: Japan has netted three goals in six World Cup matches on foreign soil compared to five goals in four World Cup matches in Japan.
ESPN Stats & Info: Thus far 76% of Japan's attacks have come from the right hand side compared to a paltry 4.3% from the left.
That is half time and there have been two surprises. One, we have a goal, two, it was Japan who scored it.
Two minutes added in this first half.
Cameroon must be shellshocked after that. Japan hadn't even registered a shot on goal before their goal. Astonishing.
Well, the game has sprung to life and it is all thanks to Japan's main man Honda. The simplest of finishes after the ball fell loose.
GOAL Japan have scored and its Honda who has poked home from close range after a cross fell loose. We have a goal!
Cameroon striker Eric Choupo-Moting lands on top of Japan defender Yuichi Komano
Finally, some space opens up but Assou-Ekotto's touch was woeful and Tanaka cleared.
Assou-Ekotto whips in a decent cross but in the pinball that follows on the edge of the box Matip is penalised for a foul.
A good run from Eto'o and a slip of a ball from Makoun but Kawashima shanks a clearance away. Then Eyong fouls Komano.
Tanaka launches a ball forward but Hasebe was offside. Again.
As I say that a mildly promising move from Japan ends with an Assou-Ekotto clearance at the back post.
Cameroon are going to have to throw numbers forward here because Japan are sitting deep in numbers. And there was their coach saying he was committed to attacking. Hmm.
The 'keeper is back on his feet. He wanted a free kick but Webo was nowhere near him. The ref tells him to jog on.
Assou-Ekotto whacks the free kick long and as 'keeper Kawashima goes up for it he spills the ball before landing full on his back. That looked painful.
Assou-Ekotto is too quick for Matsui and wins a free kick on the left.
Matsui collects Hasebe's ball but can't get a cross in, as Japan rebuild Honda does but Souleymanou grabs it. The ball had gone out though, according to our eagle-eyed slash flag-happy assistant.
A brief flurry of interest as Matsui makes a run in behind Assou-Ekotto but is flagged offside by the assistant.
Nakazawa gets out of jail after hesitating in possession. Choupo-Moting impeded him unnecessarily.
Cameroon are trying to force the pace now. Japan are offering very little going forward.
Here comes the first Mexican wave of the game. That tells you all you need to know about the lack of action on the field.
ESPN Stats & Info: Neither Japan nor Cameroon have ever come back to win after conceding the first goal at the World Cup.
A right old scramble in the box as Souleymanou spilled Matsui's cross, before he and Honda wrestle for the loose ball in a rather ungainly fashion. After all that, the flag had gone up.
Cameroon harried Hasebe there and Webo won the ball but Eyong's ball for Eto'o was massively overhit.
Comment from JC: ''Surprised that Alex Song isn't playing for Cameroon. Rested apparently, but they look like they are lacking some bite in central midfield.''
Matsui's cross is right into the arms of Souleymanou.
Webo wins the ball and charges into Japan's half but his ball is poor when he had numbers up in support. Its nearly but not quite from both sides so far.
Choupo-Moting has a pop but Komano blocks his effort.
Honda tried to sneak past Bassong as Matsui's long throw found its way into the box but Souleymanou came out to claim.
Now Eyong fouls Honda and Japan can try and build an attack.
Assou-Ekotto wins a goal kick as Matsui chased him down. He's sporting a bunchy pony tail is the Spurs left back.
A poor ball from Hasebe, Honda was in space and wanted it to feet.
According to our commentators, Japan coach Takeshi Okada is giving up after the World Cup to be a farmer. No wonder his team's approach has been rather agricultural so far. Athankyou.
Danger in the Japanese box as Kawashima flaps at a free kick but no yellow shirt can profit from his error.
A vaguely threatening ball over the top from Yuki Abe is collected by Souleymanou before Webo pulls a ball across goal but Choupo-Moting can't get a shot off.
Very little to report in the opening five minutes I'm afraid. It'll burst into life any minute now though, have no fear.
Nakazawa hammers a ball right through to Cameroon 'keeper Souleymanou. A surprise that regular starter Idriss Kameni, of Espanyol, is on the bench.
Stephane Mbia gets a bang in the face but sympathy is in short supply from the referee, who just walks him off the field and plays on.
Eto'o has taken his place on the right side of a 4-3-3 formation, where he operated largely for Inter this season.
ESPN Stats & Info: Japan are unbeaten in three meetings against Cameroon, winning twice. Cameroon have never scored a goal against Japan.
We are underway in Bloemfontein. Let the goals rain down.
Both national anthems are belted out with predictable pride, and the weather is chipper. Quite a few empty seats but don't think that means there is any let up in the vuvuzela stakes - oh no no no.
The teams are in the tunnel and instantly noticeable are the yellow and black studded boots of Japan midfielder Yuki Abe. He'd better have a decent game now.
One of Japan's best known players, Shunsuke Nakamura, only makes the bench, but their main man these days is Keisuke Honda, who had a very good season with CSKA Moscow. He's their driving force if you will. Terrible, I know.
Despite recent harsh words from Roger Milla - that legend of Cameroon's 1990 World Cup team - Samuel Eto'o takes his place up front against Japan. He has helped his nation to two African Nations Cup triumphs after all and won a treble with Inter Milan this year. Perhaps surprisingly, Alex Song only makes the bench.
Before we get underway in 20 minutes, why not take a look at our preview for the game.
Good afternoon one and all and welcome to a game that truly demonstrates the worldliness of the World Cup. Its Japan v Cameroon in Group E from the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein.
This game starts at 14.00GMT so join us shortly before then for the full match coverage. Check out the Japan coach and player quotes ahead of the game.

Teixeira, who was named the American League's Player of the Week for the period ending July 4, just hopes his recent tear is a sign of things to come in the second half of the season.
"It's kind of unfortunate that the All-Star break is coming up, because I'd like to play about 50 games in a row," Teixeira said.
Teixeira led the AL with five homers, 11 RBIs, 10 runs scored and 26 total bases last week.
If Teixeira stays hot and Alfonso Soriano, Michael Young and Hank Blalock maintain the quality they've shown all year, the Rangers infield could collectively put up some staggering numbers the rest of the way.
"Some guys go their whole careers and don't get to play with one All-Star on the same infield," Teixeira said. "I get to play in an infield with three All-Stars every day. I'm just trying to soak it all in."
Rangers outfielder Kevin Mench was also nominated for AL Player of the Week honors. Teixeira will receive a Tourneau luxury Swiss timepiece for winning the award.

Check out this great video Claverham Community College - one of our wonderful School Champions - made to celebrate IDAHO on 17 May!
About the School
Chew Valley is a performing arts school with a sixth form. The school serves a rural area and challenges its pupils to develop a view of life beyond the valley. The school believes firmly in equality and aims to explore diversity with their pupils.
How has the School Champions Programme benefitted the school?
A role-model visit from Lance Corporal James Wharton set the tone for a brilliant first year of the School Champions Programme for Chew Valley. Stereotypes were challenged and pupils were laughing about how ridiculous their assumptions had been.
Policy was changed and publicised, so now pupils know that if they are bullied they will receive support, and incidents will be taken seriously. This push was supported by the school's Youth Involvement Group, which organised an anti-bullying event in October focusing on verbal bullying and careless language.
Chew Valley has weaved the themes of diversity, gay equality and homophobic language in the curriculum. There is now a focus on gay equality in the GCSE RE course and PSHE. Other subjects feel willing and confident to include references to gay themes in their lessons.
Imminent whole staff training should bolster awareness raising further, for which they hope to focus on curriculum involvement.
How have Stonewall resources helped Chew Valley?
Stonewall's resources have aided Chew Valley's work. Guides and training DVDs were used to explain to staff the importance of anti-homophobia work. In one lesson, a boy used the School Report as a basis for an English speaking assignment. Best practice has contributed to the 'Doodle for Diversity' and 'Break down the Wall' campaigns at the school, which push for respectful language and celebrate diversity.
Stonewall's feature film FIT and the associated lesson plans have changed perceptions. One pupil said after seeing it, 'Really you just shouldn't make assumptions about people. People are people, black, white, gay, straight, it shouldn't matter.'
What was the biggest achievement since joining?
Pupils are challenging peers over homophobic language, pupils come back lunchtime after lunchtime to watch instalments of FIT and the Youth Involvement Group acts as a driving force, developing confidence and resilience. In short, young people are leading change and pushing for equality.
About the School
Walthamstow School for Girls is an outstanding comprehensive school situated in East London, serving a very diverse community. The school is committed to equality, and has a 100-year-old motto of: "Neglect not the Gift that is in Thee".
How has the School Champions Programme benefitted the school?
The programme has helped Walthamstow to build on an existing commitment to lesbian and gay equality by identifying areas for improvement. As a result, Walthamstow now stocks a range of books with lesbian and gay themes in their library and LGBT History Month celebrations are now curriculum-wide with all subject areas delivering lessons with an LGBT theme. Being able to draw on Stonewall resources such as the 'Spell it Out' guide, 'The School Report' and 'FIT' DVD has helped the school provide factual information to staff, around which they can then develop lessons.
With campaigns such as "Think Before You Speak" and extensive staff training on diversity (specifically lesbian, gay and bisexual issues) now embedded in school policies, the whole school has the confidence and tools not only to challenge homophobia but to celebrate diversity.
How have role models benefitted the school?
Stonewall also put Walthamstow in touch with a representative from a Stonewall Diversity Champion, Aon. The representative has so far delivered an assembly, visited the school for International Women's Day celebrations and delivered a talk to the Student Equal Opportunities Group. The girls in the Equal Opportunities Group gained real value from engaging with such a successful businesswoman, and Walthamstow looks forward to further links with the Aon LGBT group in the future.
What is the best part of being a School Champion?
Being a School Champion has enabled Walthamstow to become even better at celebrating difference, to share good practice and to help make the school even more inclusive. Having the recognition of Stonewall gives Walthamstow a way of publically demonstrating their commitment to diversity.
About the School
Rossett School is an Academy in Harrogate rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in 2010, with 1500 pupils. Rossett provides education for all, enriched by diversity.
How has the School Champions Programme benefitted the school?
Rossett's initial needs assessment highlighted a need for school policy specifically referencing homophobia. Now the school's leadership has set performance measures which are consistent with the school's mission statement and equality policy. Staff are now confident in tackling homophobia thanks to whole-school training delivered to all staff.
A role model visit galvanised pupils, with actor Sir Ian McKellen delivering an assembly which will stay with pupils for many years. This gave pupils the confidence to come out without fear of reproach, and some went further and signed up to Stonewall's Youth Volunteering Programme.
Stonewall guidance resources have aided policy development, and Rossett has gone on to share this best practice with local schools. This work led one Ofsted inspector to say they 'had never seen any other school tackle homophobic bullying in such an open and positive way'.
What are the top priorities for Rossett School?
Rossett is developing peer-led workshops, and acquiring gay-themed literature, in order to celebrate difference outside the classroom too. They will also be using Stonewall resources and lesson plans to reference being gay through the curriculum and, with the help of their Stonewall point of contact, identify cross-curricular themes.
What was the biggest achievement since joining the programme?
Rossett has had a number of achievements that have gone beyond tackling bullying – such as developing a diversity day, appointing ambassadors and establishing an LGBT lunchtime club.

Fergus Falls looks to start the high school's first trap shooting teamFergus Falls, MN (WDAY TV) -- A group in Fergus Falls is aiming to start the high school's first trap shooting team.
By: Kay Cooley, WDAY
Fergus Falls, MN (WDAY TV) -- A group in Fergus Falls is aiming to start the high school's first trap shooting team.
In the middle of a nationwide gun debate timing couldn't be worse. But after a meeting earlier this week, organizers say support couldn't be better.
It's a sport much more common at Fergus Falls High..than one might think.
Samantha Velde/Fergus Falls senior: "I know when I go to other towns people think I'm kind of crazy for being a girl hunter"
But students like Samantha don't have a team to compete on..
Russ Larsen/Lakes Area Shooting Center Member: "The problem is a lot of traditional sports..football basketball baseball, don't connect with a lot of students"
Russ Larsen is trying to give those students another option...now working to create the school's first trap shooting team...
Alec Davis/Fergus Falls senior : "I think it's a really good idea because I do a lot of it for fun"
And it wouldn't just be for boys..but full of co-ed competition, and practices at the Lakes Area Shooting Center.
Samantha: "I think it'd be interesting to see how many girls come out"
Schuler: "We love the idea..."
Snow melts, team trying to start in spring...
More than 100 Minnesota schools already have teams, creating about 17-hundred student shooters, and that number is expected to double next year.
The shooting team's 10-week season would begin in the midst of a nationwide gun control debate. But those in favor don't see this as an issue, rather an opportunity for awareness.
Schuler: "going to be done safely"
As for Samantha and Alec, if the team gets the go ahead, they'll take a shot at tryouts.
Alec: "I would love it if it would pass"
The team would consist of 20 members and 2 coaches. The School Board will consider approving it at a meeting later this month.

Who will replace Mourinho? Could Messi cope in England? Guillem Balague talks La Liga...Back to story
Guillem, do you not think Ronaldinho at his best equalled, if not surpassed, Messi? That is a view I support, I believe the main difference between the two players, is that Ronaldinho plays for fun, he has never put himself out to improve. Whereas Messi, on top of being incredibly talented, works hard to develop his potential. Had Ronaldinho been a hard worker, I think he would have stayed the king of Barcelona and of the world for quite a few years.
Posted 07:20 15th January 2013
Guillem, if the spanish an english leagues merged, in what order would the top six places go do you think? Also, whats the opinion of spanish people of the premiership? strengths weaknesses an things like that? last one, how is michael carrick rated there, he is one most divisive player in the league here. cheers!!
Posted 05:24 15th January 2013
Hi Guillem, What transfer business do you think Barca will look to do in the summer? And do you think Valdes will renew his contract? Thanks!
Posted 00:53 15th January 2013
Hi Guillem, I love the spanish league even though my team is Liverpool so I watch both Liverpool and watch spanish football only when Barca or Real play. Ok, as you know Manchester United are against Real Madrid, do you think this is Interview Job for Jose Mourinho or will we see a challenging Real? Saqab.
Posted 23:33 14th January 2013
Hi Guillem. Just wanted to quickly ask you for your thoughts on Michael Carrick and what the Spanish media/press make of him? As a Manchester United fan i feel he is vastly underrated in this country as he is not a Gerrard/Lampard goal scoring type of midfielder. I think if he was Spanish or even just played in Spain he would be valued a lot more in England than he currently is. Also how do you see the Manchester United/Real Madrid tie going? Thanks.
Posted 22:38 14th January 2013
Villa is about 30years old,would he want to take a gamble to come to d premier league? would be nice to have him at liverpool, do you know if liverpool fc have a spanish scout?
Posted 22:11 14th January 2013
I will take you up on the poor defense debate. If you look at Man Utd you see their defenders are all very good footballers in terms of playing from the back and dealing with technically gifted teams. What they do not have is when Vidic is injured is that physicality. I think teams deliberately attack their weak points and physically bully them which is fair enough. I honestly think the Barce defenders would suffer a similar fate as obviously teams would not be able to out football them. In Spain most if all the teams play good football. Obviously sticking to a philosophy. You see Barce are able to outplay Man Utd because Man Utd try to play football again them. You can actually see that from the games where Barce gain just over 50% possession of the ball. Where as they struggle against a team like Chelsea because Chelsea do not care much about losing the ball and are very physical going forward. I watch several la liga games every week and I think you are generally quite biased in that sense. Barce's best form of defense is ball retention. However whenever teams attack them (which is rare) we see the defense generally isn't very good. But that's just my opinion.
Posted 21:10 14th January 2013
Hola Guillem, now that David Villa appears to be leaving Barcelona, and Barcelona are implementing a more direct style to compliment Pep's style of play, do you think Llorente would be a target for Barcelona to further adapt their play? As a free agent surely he would be an ideal target to both replace Villa and offer a Plan B to use against teams who park the bus against them?
Posted 20:13 14th January 2013
Hi Guillem, As a City fan i'm quite excited about the prospect of Jose Angel Pozo. But what I want to know is just how good is he, and how highly rated is he in Spain? I've heard many people within the club speak very highly of him and Mike Rigg (former city technical director) describing him as one of his proudest signings while at the club. Thanks
Posted 17:53 14th January 2013
I agree with Guillem ,Messi could play in any league,as for the tough tackling in the premier league I suggest that contributor watches a Classico or the Catalan derby.Most weeks Messi is assaulted and gets little protection from the referees .I do worry about Messi's influence at Barca if he has a character change it could spell big trouble for the club and as a Barca fan of many years I believe no Player should be bigger than the club.I like Villa and it saddens me that he is being sacrificed to keep Messi happy.I love watching Messi he is a great player and role model I hope that doesn't change.
Posted 17:01 14th January 2013
I have heard that Victor Valdes is not going to renew his contract.After a huge dip in form this year is he the keeper for barcelona in the coming years?

We had a great stay at harvest B&B. Everything was clean & lots to do & very comfortable. We were so happy with everything!

The rooms are beautiful, service is wonderful, convenient to Palmer & activities. Very clean with an excellently stocked kitchenette for breakfast!
3,2 sur août 01, 2013
If you enjoy privacy, animal skins & mounts, and stunning views, this is the place for you! Far above the other accommodations in the area. However, if you enjoy B&Bs in part because of interaction with hosts & other guests, do not stay here. You have to fix your own breakfast and host makes clear that time with host is not part of package.

Staying here was like having a mini retreat from our travels. We were able to leisurely see Palmer, Hatcher Pass, etc. and come "home" to a restful, loving environment. Thank you for this 2 nights of rest on a 2 week journey.

I have stayed at this Bed and Breakfast several times and each time has been perfect. You know that feeling of "home" you get when you walk into just the right place? That is what this B&B does for me! Always clean, comfortable, fresh smelling and peaceful- not to mention the amazing setting this B&B rests in! There is no place like home, except for Alaska's Harvest Bed & Breakfast!

When we travel, we like just the right amount of "privacy" in balance with services from a B & B. Alaska's Harvest knows EXACTLY the way to do this which made everything about our stay with them perfect. The home is beautiful and laid out exactly right and the views are magnificent the way only Alaska can be. We will never stay anywhere else and plan to visit again just as often as we possibly can. There is no way anyone is going to be anything but delighted with this B & B.

The next days we discovered San Francisco (like we did 6 years ago) and Santa Cruz, the first time. In the end we had some relaxed days getting together with family and friends at Venice Beach and Beverly Hills. AND after seven years my love absolutely surprised me with the most beautiful proposal ever with a view over LA near the Hollywood sign. Engaged, recovered & happy.

Hope you had fun Megan and a few new dates too
You know, I couldn't pinpoint it. But it's been bugging me since you added your avatar. At that small size, you just LOOK like someone. I just figured it out, but not 100% figured it out. In that Avatar, you look like either Joey or Dee Dee Ramone. I forget which. But that's what's been bugging me.
Your full sized picture is way cuter than any Ramone, but the shrink-down version is definitely a Ramone.
That is all. Peace out!

If you're not sure about the security of your talent pool, you're not alone. In fact, 69 percent of CEOs find the lack of key talent in their companies to be a challenge.1 Therefore, to retain key employees, you might have to rethink a few of the popular myths about talent.2
Myth: In a tough economy, pivotal talent will stay put Even in volatile times, uneasiness can trump security. If pivotal talent—those key employees whose performance can make or break the bottom line—feels undervalued during a downturn, anxiety will replace productivity, as employees use their time to network for new jobs and competitors lure prospects with better job offers.
Myth: As long as employees are treated well, they will be loyal Sure, it's tough out there for jobseekers. But workers are still willing to change jobs if they aren't happy in their current positions. In fact, a PwC survey found that 58 percent of millennials—the younger generation of workers—will be loyal to an organization only if they feel fulfilled in their roles.3 Today's talent expects employer-employee relationships to be mutually beneficial.
Myth: Foreign-born talent is always willing to work in the US The world is an oyster for the talented. With emerging markets booming and US immigration policies becoming more stringent, foreign-born employees are opening their eyes to opportunities outside of the US.
Retaining staff requires more than finding talent and keeping them happy. Determining a company's business objectives, identifying individuals who meet those objectives, and rigorously measuring the effectiveness of talent policies are important steps in redefining a talent management program. Equally as important, pivotal talent needs to be motivated and engaged to keep the right blend of critical skills in a company.

Hawaii's Big Island Bike Tour

- Feast on Pacific Rim cuisine, fresh fish and tropical fruit

Coastal Roads & Volcanic Slopes
Some people come to Hawaii to relax. Some come to play. This trip is for those who love doing both. Sure, you can spend the entire trip on two wheels, testing your legs on climbs through some of the world's most incredible scenery and relishing exhilarating long descents to picture-perfect coastline. Even ride two centuries in a single week if you like. And what if your ideal vacation also includes swimming, snorkeling and basking on a pristine beach with an icy Mai Tai in hand? But of course! Whatever you choose, the Big Island awaits.
We want to make sure you're on the right trip and that you have the best experience possible. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
AccommodationsThe Kilauea Lodge is a fairly rustic property that reflects its picturesque location near the stunning Volcanoes National Park. Although clean and comfortable, the guest rooms are basic and are not equipped with phones or televisions.
TrafficWhile Backroads strives to include routes that are quiet and off the beaten track, the Big Island's rugged topography limits the number of smooth paved roads. Our shuttle is always available to help you bypass more heavily trafficked or rough sections.
Day 1 Circumnavigate the Big Island on your bike, starting amid rain forests, Kona coffee plantations and scenic beaches Fantastic ocean views highlight the route to Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park, an impressive archaeological site known as the Place of Refuge.
Days 2-3 Explore Volcano Village and Kilauea Iki Crater with a local guide Descend along the Kau Coast, passing the southernmost point of the United States Gear down for a 4,000-foot climb past black-sand Punaluu Beach, where green turtles lounge, and up through lava fields to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Hilina Pali Overlook dazzles with sweeping vistas of the Pacific and the Kau Desert.
Day 4 Feast on Pacific Rim cuisine, fresh fish and tropical fruit En route to Hilo, gravity does the work to bring you to the island's "wet side," with its verdant hills, rugged cliffs and lava-rock beaches Grassy highlands and sprawling cattle ranches? You'll find them while pedaling in paniolo (cowboy) country.
Days 5-6 Bike 30 miles of the Kona Ironman Triathlon's cycling course No guilt here! Sumptuous meals are well deserved after the challenging rides along the Kohala Coast and the small communities of Puako and Hawi Return through fields of black lava to quiet Pauoa Bay.

Guests Reviews About This Trip
The place of refuge valley was a wow. The back roads near Hilo were a wow. The road from Waimea to the coast was a wow. Excellent trip - rigorous enough to keep me amused. Well supported enough to make life easy. Gorgeous big blue sky and blue ocean. On Hawaii it is all about the headwinds and they are fierce!! Thanks for a fun week.- Sacramento, CA
Awesome trip - had a great time!! The Hawaii trip was very special. Seems like it's a great trip for the novice rider or someone who wants to pound out the miles. Broad shoulders and relatively light traffic make the ride around the island very safe. It was very easy to drop the novice rider off at the top of the hill and let them ride a bunch of descent miles and feel like they accomplished a lot. For the experienced rider, the trip provided a very challenging course and several epic rides. I loved the trip!!- San Francisco, CA
I just returned from my Hawaii bicycle trip and as usual, the trip was fabulous! I personally want to express my thanks to a wonderful organization. Backroads goes the EXTRA mile to make each guest feel comfortable with their trip. I never feel "short-changed" on a Backroads trip. The accommodations, meals, equipment and last but not least, the group leaders are superior, top of the line. I am a devoted Backroads supporter.- Los Angeles, CA
