Through the ages, as depicted in the works of many famous artists, a strong chin has been considered a sign of physical beauty.
On the other hand, a person with a receding chin is sometimes described as having a “weak” chin. Because their faces seem unbalanced to them, people with this condition often find it a source of distress and concern. Chin augmentation, or mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance by altering the facial contours. It is designed to add size to or move forward a receding chin. In some cases, a chin augmentation is done in conjunction with liposuction surgery of other cosmetic facial procedures such as rhinoplasty (surgery of the nose) and phytidectomy (facelift).
The best candidate for chin augmentation is the individual with a receding chin and a normal dental bite. For those with a bite dysfunction, jaw surgery, in conjunction with mentoplasty, may be necessary.
Prior to surgery, a complete medical history is taken in order to evaluate your general health. Careful examination of your face is also conducted. Dr. Gilmer will describe the type of anesthesia to be used, the procedure, what results might realistically be expected and possible risks and complications. Photographs may be taken before and after surgery to evaluate the amount of improvement.
Preoperative instructions may include the elimination of certain drugs which contain aspirin in order to minimize the possibility of excess bleeding. Antibiotics may be prescribed for a few days prior to surgery to prevent infection. The areas to be worked on are carefully marked.
The surgery can be done in our office on an outpatient basis. Medication to relax you may be administered prior to surgery.
There are two basic procedures used in mentoplasty: one involves moving the chin bone forward by an incision that is made inside the mouth ,the other the use of a plastic chin implant. The surgeon, working through the incision, uses special instruments to cut through the chin bone. The lower portion of the bone is then moved forward and sutured in to place. Small sutures are used to close the incision, and external bandages are applied to the area.
A second procedure, a chin implant, may also be used to create a more prominent jaw. In this technique, the incision is made either inside the mouth or externally, under the chin. A plastic prosthesis, sized exactly to fit the patient, is placed in a pocket above the chin bone and beneath the muscles. Sutures are used to close the incision and pressure bandages are applied. The procedure may take from two and a half to three hours or more depending on whether other procedures are done at the same time.
Pain connected with the surgery is minimal to moderate and is controlled with oral medication. Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent infection. The bandages are usually removed within a week. Most patients are up and moving around the day of surgery; however, strenuous activities must be avoided for some time. Dr. Gilmer will advise you as to when normal activities can be resumed based on the extent of surgery and your personal healing process.
Some temporary swelling and bruising of the face are to be expected. Keeping the head slightly elevated when reclining and applying cold compresses may help reduce swelling. Chewing may be difficult for ten days to two weeks and numbness around the treated area may occur for a period of time. Brushing the teeth is sometimes difficult for several days.
Scars from the incisions fade significantly with time and are, for the most part, inconspicuous because of the location. Complications are rare; however, there are certain inherent risks connected with every surgical procedure which should be thoroughly discussed with the physician. You can minimize complications by carefully following directions given by Dr. Gilmer and his staff.
If you are interested in learning more about mentoplasty, please contact our office and we will be happy to answer your questions.

BEAVER — After every practice and every game, coach Greg Huston reminds his Beaver girls basketball team that everything they do on the basketball court is a learning experience.
On Thursday night, the young and inexperienced Bobcats learned again that they can compete with any team in their section.
But to consistently win games against the better teams in the section, they have to play a little bit better than they did in a 63-61 loss to Avonworth.
The bright spot for Beaver, 7-2 overall and 3-1 in the section, was how it battled back after trailing by 11 points, 53-42, midway in the fourth quarter.
From that point, the Bobcats went on a 19-8 run and tied the game, thanks to some clutch outside shooting. In the last 3 minutes, they knocked down five three-pointers.
Sophomore guards Anna Blum and Natalie Priest each made two 3s down the stretch. Freshman forward Payton List added one.
With 3 seconds left, Priest’s bomb from long distance tied the game, 61-61.
But just when it seemed like the game was headed to overtime, Avonworth guard Harris Robinson was fouled just past the midcourt line with less than a second on the clock … 0.2 seconds to be exact.
She calmly sank both free throws for a win that put Avonworth (6-3, 4-0) in sole possession of first place.
Hayden Robinson, a 5-foot-10 senior forward who’s going to Quinnipiac University on a track scholarship, led Avonworth with a game-high 22 points. Kathryn Goetz, a 5-9 junior forward, added 16 for the Antelopes.
Sophomore guard Emma Pavelek led Beaver with 20 points. Sophomore forward Maddi Weiland and Payton List scored 11 and 10, respectively.
“Huge win,” said Avonworth coach Mark D’Alessandris, an Aliquippa native who used to coach the Quips’ girls team. “We’re both competing for first place, and now we’re in sole possession. We got a big game Monday when Neshannock comes to our gym.
It was Beaver who handed Neshannock its only section loss, 47-46, on the Lancers’ home court on Dec. 13.
“Avonworth is really good,” Huston said. “I had them and Neshannock as the top two teams in the section. So I feel pretty good that we’re playing right with them for as young as we are.

I have a friend who wants to join us, can we just let him share our room?
Unfortunately, no. We are an ‘all inclusive’ Resort with many amenities, and allowing a friend to stay for free puts a strain on our resources. We have included an option to allow others to share your room for a reasonable fee, so do let us know before arriving.
If you have already checked in and someone wishes to join you, inquire with us: perhaps we have a room or cabin available for them as well.
As we continue to field various questions we will expand this list to include those items we hear more frequently. In the interim, should you have any questions or issues, please feel free to contact us.
Yes, we provide WiFi free of charge to our guests, and it typically reaches all rooms and cabins as well as the Lounge.
Actually, no. We prefer to keep things as natural as possible, and we find that most guests are only in their room to sleep at night. For those guests who would prefer AC, we have portable units for rent at a nominal, nightly fee.
Besides the obvious, is there anything special we should pack?
camera – the view and wildlife are extraordinary!
As many of our guests favor a non-smoking holiday environment, we have introduced ‘smoking areas’ around the Resort. Please step away from others, and no smoking in any building (rooms, cabins, Lounge, Dome or under any gazebo, including in the hot tub, as per Ontario law). As well, please move away from doors and windows, as smoke can and will blow inside. Please help us to keep our Resort clean and natural: Use ashtrays and cans that are provided throughout the Resort for cigarette butts.
If it is evident that there was smoking in a room (including bathrooms) a $250 recovery fee to cover the cost of restoring the room to a smoke free condition will be levied.
We have an ATV/motor boat. Can we bring it with us?
Sure, feel free to bring along your trailered leisure craft, but please respect the natural beauty that is Footprints. No motorized boats (including JetSkis) on our small lake, nor ATV’s on our property. There are plenty of larger lakes that can accommodate your boat, and trails to ride on. Check out our links to ATV clubs.
We are not a campground, but provide limited space for tents and small campers for those who prefer this option. There is one area that can accommodate several tents under dappled shade at one end of the property. BBQ’s and picnic tables are available, and shared washroom is a short walk away.
The second tent area is a flat, grassy area behind the room block, closer to the shared washrooms/showers. No vehicles allowed in this area.
RV’s and trailers will be parked next to The Dome, and hydro can be provided if needed but to reduce the strain on the system, use your own energy source if possible (propane, solar, etc). No water/dumping. Dump station is up the road.
How close is the closest store?
Bancroft is a scenic 12 minute drive from the Resort, and has everything you could need: grocery stores, liquor and beer stores, restaurants (fast food, family/pub style and fine dining), pharmacy, police station, retail shopping, banks and even a hospital.
No, we are a ‘self catering’ waterfront resort, which means bring your food with you and use our BBQ’s and kitchen to prepare your own meals. There are numerous restaurants, as well as grocery stores and liquor/beer stores in Bancroft, just minutes away if you’ve forgotten anything.
Sorry, but no, Footprints is an Adults Only, 21+ resort and reserved for adults.
Sorry, but no, pets of any kind are not permitted. Regretfully but Firmly.
What happens if we can’t arrive until very late at night?
For anyone arriving after dark, let us know by phone and we will leave a light on and the door open.
When you drive onto the property, follow the driveway in and to the right, park in the gravel parking area by the rock wall, and check in at the Lounge, the second building you see when arriving. You will be met there by your Host who will check you in, give you a tour and get you settled into your room.

A company has been fined £15,000 by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) after a worker sustained serious injuries by not being provided with personal protection equipment (PPE).
while laying a cement floor as part of an unspecified London project.
Chemicals present in the cement attacked his nerve endings, meaning he had no idea of the serious burns he had sustained until he had finished the job.
City of London Magistrates Court heard that Mr Creak was provided with no PPE and no method statement or risk assessment was carried out.
The court also heard that neither the site manager, Mr Creak, nor other employees were aware of the dangers wet cement can pose.
HSE guidelines recommend that where contact with wet cement cannot be avoided appropriate PPE should be provided, which in this case should have included non-permeable clothing and kneepads.
The company admitted breaching articles 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, for which it was fined £15,000 and ordered to pay £7,000 costs.
Workplace Law Network quoted HSE inspector Lisa Chappell saying: "This was a very unfortunate series of events that led to serious injury for Creak. Cement is widely used throughout the construction industry and requires a thorough risk assessment.
"The prosecution has highlighted the company's failures to identify the hazards associated with cement, and to provide suitable information, training and appropriate protective equipment to employees."

OK Friends, so an update to the worst plague. I have a bit of bronchitis but now have antibiotics helping me out. Hopefully I can be able to get back to blogging a lot more soon and not just shopping posts. I like doing both that and outfits! But, you know life happens and right now I am trying to stay awake. The antibiotics make me so sleepy. On the blog today, there may not be much said because I am so sleepy. But I wanted to share a few things!
First off, the snowglobe from Target is what I want to share.
Here is the globe working and how it lights up!
We got this before Thanksgiving and he loves to watch it blow the snow. The globe has several songs and has moving parts! Such a great buy from Target at $20!
I also got recently a new mug for my holiday mug collection!
I think this mug is too funny and really gets the modern holiday spirit After all, calling Santa is so 1990, right? Now we text everyone! Again this is a really short post, but as you can expect I am trying to get some rest(not very good at that). So hopefully in a few days I can be back to my old self.
I hope you feel better soon!! I need that mug! I’m always giving my boys the “imma tell santa!” Haha!
Thank you so much brooke. I am sure I will be back to normal soon!
Thanks for linking up to Top of the World Style. What a funny mug!

Tokyo-Bound Flight U-Turns To LAX To Remove "Unauthorized Person" Due To "Mix Up"
An All Nippon Airways flight en route from Los Angeles to Tokyo was forced to turn around four hours into the eleven hour journey to remove an "unauthorized person" from the flight, angering passengers who were told by the airline that passenger had a ticket for another airline.
A twitter user claiming to have been on board flight ANA 175 said that four people were questioned and detained; "1 Muslim,2 white, and 1 asian lady."
Police said the massive U-turn was due to a "mix up, and was straightened out," according to ABC7, and that the flight has been rescheduled to depart Wednesday morning.
Model Christine Teigen was aboard and documented the incident over Twitter.
Police were interviewing people seated near the mystery passenger, according to Teigen.
Person removed from plane that turned around halfway to Tokoyo and returned to LAX must have been a big fish! All the passengers had to sign a NDA!

Today I spoke at the Conservative Party Spring Forum, setting out our Plan for Britain – a plan to build a stronger, fairer Britain that is more united and more outward-looking. The EU referendum result was not just a vote to leave the European Union, but an instruction to change the way our whole country works – and the people for whom it works – forever. It was a call to make Britain a country that works for everyone, not just the privileged few.
We want the United Kingdom to emerge from this period of national change, stronger, fairer, more united and more outward-looking than ever before. So we are setting out the Government’s Plan for Britain to deliver this brighter future for our whole country – by getting the right deal for Britain abroad and a better deal for ordinary, working people at home.
First, we will forge a more Global Britain, securing a new partnership with Europe that will give us control of our borders and our laws, while trading beyond Europe and making Britain the leading advocate for free trade across the world, as we build relationships with old friends and new allies alike. We will continue to meet our commitments to support developing countries, and our armed forces as they keep our country safe, and shape decisions across the globe as we stand up for British values and interests in every part of the world.
Second, we will help to build a stronger economy by investing in the skills, sectors and areas that will deliver for Britain in the long-term. We will continue to bring the deficit down so that we live within our means. We will introduce a modern industrial strategy to help provide more opportunities for young people to find high-quality, high-skilled work and to spread jobs, prosperity and opportunity around the whole country. We will also seek to help people with everyday costs and bills by acting to ensure consumer markets work in the way they should, protect and enhance workers’ rights and crack down on individuals and businesses who abuse the system so that everyone plays by the same rules.
Third, we will support a fairer society where success is based on merit not privilege. We will provide access to a good school place that caters to the individual needs and abilities of every single child, whatever their background and wherever they live. We will ensure there is control of immigration so that it serves the national interest and is fair to everyone who lives and works in this country. We will deliver one million new homes so that more people have the chance to own or rent an affordable home of their own. We will continue to invest in the NHS, ensure our welfare system is fair to those who need it and those who pay for it, and tackle historic injustices like racial and gender discrimination that have held too many people back for far too long.
Fourth, we will foster a more united nation by strengthening the precious union of our United Kingdom and ensuring the voices and interests of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are represented as we negotiate to leave the European Union. We will put our national interest above any other consideration and make sure that the big decisions we take benefit the whole country, supporting towns, cities and communities right across the UK. We will actively work to bring people and communities together by promoting policies that support integration and social cohesion and by putting the values of fairness, responsibility and citizenship at the heart of everything we do.
This is our Plan for Britain’s future as we seek to make the most of the opportunities ahead and build a stronger, fairer Britain that our children and grandchildren are proud to call home.
I am pleased to hear of the new scheme that is being run by Hertfordshire County Council’s Money Advice Unit in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Care. This is a benefits advice service for people diagnosed with cancer and their families. The outcome is that no-one has to worry about money when they have cancer.
The new service is now taking referrals, which is possible by email – macmillan.benefitsadviceservice@hertfordshire.gov.uk – or by phone – 01438 843456.
More information from Macmillan Cancer Care is available at the Make Money One Less Worry Campaign – https://www.macmillan.org.uk/ – and their Benefits and Other Financial Support – http://www.macmillan.org.uk/information-and-support/organising/benefits-and-financial-support/benefits-and-your-rights.
Tuesday 21st February was the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the SS Mendi off the Isle of Wight. In one of the UK’s biggest ever maritime disasters, 616 members of the South African Native Labour Corps and 30 crew members lost their lives.
I am very pleased to see that the Prime Minister’s Special Representative for the Centenary of the Great War – Dr Andrew Murrison MP – has, on Saturday 18th February launched ‘The Unremembered: World War One’s Army of Workers’. The launch took place in Portsmouth in the presence of the South African High Commissioner.
This worthwhile project tells the neglected story of labourers from across the globe who served in the various theatres of the First World War. This includes the sinking of the SS Mendi.
I am very happy to recommend this exhibit. Information detailing the tragedy can be found at: https://historicengland.org.uk/whats-new/first-world-war-home-front/what-we-already-know/sea/ssmendi/, and details of the project can be found at: http://www.bigideascompany.org/project/the-unremembered.
I welcome this excellent opportunity to get a special project off the ground to benefit the local community. Funding will be allocated to lots of different types of initiatives and it’s such a fantastic opportunity for local charities to get additional support that I encourage constituents to apply now.
The funding will be allocated through three Trusts, which support different categories of projects. There will be two opportunities for groups to apply in 2017 (January and August) and £3 million will be available for each funding round. The application process is simple. The first round – which opens from 23 January until 10 February 2017 – starts with organisations being encouraged to submit an ‘expression of interest’ form. Charities will then be shortlisted to complete a full application for funding.
Players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised more than £168.4 million to date for over 2,800 good causes across Great Britain and internationally. For more information on how to apply for funding, I recommend that you visit the Trusts’ websites: www.postcodetrust.org.uk.
This is an important moment for the United Kingdom. As we prepare to leave the European Union, we must look forward and plan the long term policies and decisions that will shape how we earn a prosperous living in the years ahead.
Today’s Green Paper, “Building our Industrial Strategy”, is part of an open dialogue to develop this strategy as the enduring foundation of an economy that works for everyone.
We start from a position of considerable strength. We are the fifth biggest economy in the world, despite having the 22nd highest population. We have achieved higher levels of employment than ever before in our history – in fact 2.7 million more than in 2010. We have businesses, research institutions and cultural achievements at the very forefront of global excellence. And for all these reasons, we attract investment and talented individuals from around the world. But there are challenges that the UK must face up to, now and in the years ahead.
The first is to build on our strengths and extend excellence into the future.
Our excellence in key technologies, professions, research disciplines and institutions provides us with crucial competitive advantages. But we can’t take them for granted.
If other countries invest more in research and development, and we do not, then we cannot expect to keep, let alone extend, our technological lead in key sectors – or the world-beating performance of our universities. The same goes for our record as Europe’s leading destination for inward investment or our position as a centre of international finance. Our competitors are not standing still. They are upgrading infrastructure networks and reforming systems of governance. Therefore we too must strive for improvement.
In industrial sectors – from automotive and aerospace to financial and professional services and the creative industries – the UK has built a global reputation. But the competition for new investment is fierce and unending. The conditions that have allowed UK investment destinations to succeed include the availability of supportive research programmes, relevant skills in local labour markets and capable domestic supply chains. However, for continuing success, these foundations must be maintained and strengthened.
The second challenge is to ensure that every place meets its potential by working to close the gap between our best performing companies, industries, places and people and those which are less productive. The UK is one of the most centralised countries in the world, but this has not led to the country being uniformly prosperous. For all the global excellence of the UK’s best companies, industries, and places we have too many who lie far behind the leaders. That is why, on average, workers in France, Germany and the USA produce around as much in four days as UK workers do in five. It is also why despite having the most prosperous local economy in Northern Europe – in central London – we also have twelve of the twenty poorest among our closest neighbours.
For all the progress of more people going to university than ever before, too many people don’t have the education and skills they need to be able to command a good wage. We have more university graduates than the OECD average, but also more people with low levels of literacy and numeracy. We must address these long ‘tails’ of underperformance if we are to build a strong economy and ensure sustainable growth in living standards.
The third challenge is to make the UK one of the most competitive places in the world to found or to grow a business. It’s worth noting that many of the most important companies in the world today didn’t even exist 25 years ago. Unlike in the past, industrial strategy must be about creating the right conditions for new and growing enterprise to thrive, not protecting the position of incumbents.
A modern industrial strategy must make this country a fertile ground for new businesses and new industries which will challenge and in some cases displace the companies and industries of today.
To meet these challenges we’ve identified ten pillars around which our proposals are structured – ten areas of action to drive growth right across the economy and in every part of the country.
Across all of these areas, the Government is already taking strategic decisions to keep British industry on the front foot. For instance, the go ahead for major upgrades to our infrastructure such as Hinkley Point C, Heathrow and High Speed 2; and, in the Autumn Statement, the biggest increase in research and development spending since 1979.
an overhaul of technical education, including £170 million of capital funding to set up institutes of technology to deliver education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
In a world containing so much uncertainty, public policy should aim to be a countervailing force for stability, not an additional source of unpredictability.
Whether in the public or private sector, investors need a stable policy framework against which they can make confident, long-term decisions. So our aim is to establish an industrial strategy for the long term.
To do that requires developing an enduring industrial strategy with, and not just for, the nations, communities and enterprises of the United Kingdom. That is why this is a Green Paper – a set of proposals for discussion and consideration, and an invitation to all to contribute collaboratively to their development.
I and my Ministerial team will be pleased to meet with you and other colleagues to hear your contributions and advice as we continue the development of this strategy.
I welcome the announcement of a business accelerator programme which is helping the brightest entrepreneurs, start-ups and SMEs with innovative energy projects from the East of England with a chance to gain financial investment and support. The only criteria is that the idea must make a positive difference to society.
Ignite is the UK’s first impact investment fund that focuses on energy, providing firms with the funding and expertise they need to help achieve their potential and make a positive impact on society. Since 2014, the programme has supported more than 25 enterprises across the country, committing investment totalling £8 million so far to businesses that are passionate about building a better and more energy efficient future.
It would be great to see projects from the constituency securing support and financial investment in this round of applications. Please visit www.ignitesocialenterprise.com to find out more.
I welcome the Government announcement that further capital funding will go to local councils in 2017/18 to improve the productivity of our local roads. Substantial funding is being provided.
I am delighted that Hertfordshire has such a substantial allocation of funding. For Hertfordshire, there is a total allocation for 2017/18 of £20,692,000. The Highways Maintenance Block Needs Formula will benefit from £15,828,000 of the allocation. The Pothole Action Fund and the National Productivity Investment Fund benefit from £1,293,000 and £3,571,000 respectively. Our roads network is a crucial area of our public infrastructure, and this will help in improving productivity and easing of congestion. I am confident this will keep Hertfordshire moving ahead.

today i spoke at the conservative party spring forum, setting out our plan for britain – a plan to build a stronger, fairer britain that is more united and more outward-looking. the eu referendum result was not just a vote to leave the european union, but an instruction to change the way our whole country works – and the people for whom it works – forever. it was a call to make britain a country that works for everyone, not just the privileged few.
we want the united kingdom to emerge from this period of national change, stronger, fairer, more united and more outward-looking than ever before. so we are setting out the government’s plan for britain to deliver this brighter future for our whole country – by getting the right deal for britain abroad and a better deal for ordinary, working people at home.
first, we will forge a more global britain, securing a new partnership with europe that will give us control of our borders and our laws, while trading beyond europe and making britain the leading advocate for free trade across the world, as we build relationships with old friends and new allies alike. we will continue to meet our commitments to support developing countries, and our armed forces as they keep our country safe, and shape decisions across the globe as we stand up for british values and interests in every part of the world.
second, we will help to build a stronger economy by investing in the skills, sectors and areas that will deliver for britain in the long-term. we will continue to bring the deficit down so that we live within our means. we will introduce a modern industrial strategy to help provide more opportunities for young people to find high-quality, high-skilled work and to spread jobs, prosperity and opportunity around the whole country. we will also seek to help people with everyday costs and bills by acting to ensure consumer markets work in the way they should, protect and enhance workers’ rights and crack down on individuals and businesses who abuse the system so that everyone plays by the same rules.
third, we will support a fairer society where success is based on merit not privilege. we will provide access to a good school place that caters to the individual needs and abilities of every single child, whatever their background and wherever they live. we will ensure there is control of immigration so that it serves the national interest and is fair to everyone who lives and works in this country. we will deliver one million new homes so that more people have the chance to own or rent an affordable home of their own. we will continue to invest in the nhs, ensure our welfare system is fair to those who need it and those who pay for it, and tackle historic injustices like racial and gender discrimination that have held too many people back for far too long.
fourth, we will foster a more united nation by strengthening the precious union of our united kingdom and ensuring the voices and interests of england, scotland, wales and northern ireland are represented as we negotiate to leave the european union. we will put our national interest above any other consideration and make sure that the big decisions we take benefit the whole country, supporting towns, cities and communities right across the uk. we will actively work to bring people and communities together by promoting policies that support integration and social cohesion and by putting the values of fairness, responsibility and citizenship at the heart of everything we do.
this is our plan for britain’s future as we seek to make the most of the opportunities ahead and build a stronger, fairer britain that our children and grandchildren are proud to call home.
i am pleased to hear of the new scheme that is being run by hertfordshire county council’s money advice unit in partnership with macmillan cancer care. this is a benefits advice service for people diagnosed with cancer and their families. the outcome is that no-one has to worry about money when they have cancer.
the new service is now taking referrals, which is possible by email – macmillan.benefitsadviceservice@hertfordshire.gov.uk – or by phone – 01438 843456.
more information from macmillan cancer care is available at the make money one less worry campaign – https://www.macmillan.org.uk/ – and their benefits and other financial support – http://www.macmillan.org.uk/information-and-support/organising/benefits-and-financial-support/benefits-and-your-rights.
tuesday 21st february was the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the ss mendi off the isle of wight. in one of the uk’s biggest ever maritime disasters, 616 members of the south african native labour corps and 30 crew members lost their lives.
i am very pleased to see that the prime minister’s special representative for the centenary of the great war – dr andrew murrison mp – has, on saturday 18th february launched ‘the unremembered: world war one’s army of workers’. the launch took place in portsmouth in the presence of the south african high commissioner.
this worthwhile project tells the neglected story of labourers from across the globe who served in the various theatres of the first world war. this includes the sinking of the ss mendi.
i am very happy to recommend this exhibit. information detailing the tragedy can be found at: https://historicengland.org.uk/whats-new/first-world-war-home-front/what-we-already-know/sea/ssmendi/, and details of the project can be found at: http://www.bigideascompany.org/project/the-unremembered.
i welcome this excellent opportunity to get a special project off the ground to benefit the local community. funding will be allocated to lots of different types of initiatives and it’s such a fantastic opportunity for local charities to get additional support that i encourage constituents to apply now.
the funding will be allocated through three trusts, which support different categories of projects. there will be two opportunities for groups to apply in 2017 (january and august) and £3 million will be available for each funding round. the application process is simple. the first round – which opens from 23 january until 10 february 2017 – starts with organisations being encouraged to submit an ‘expression of interest’ form. charities will then be shortlisted to complete a full application for funding.
players of people’s postcode lottery have raised more than £168.4 million to date for over 2,800 good causes across great britain and internationally. for more information on how to apply for funding, i recommend that you visit the trusts’ websites: www.postcodetrust.org.uk.
this is an important moment for the united kingdom. as we prepare to leave the european union, we must look forward and plan the long term policies and decisions that will shape how we earn a prosperous living in the years ahead.
today’s green paper, “building our industrial strategy”, is part of an open dialogue to develop this strategy as the enduring foundation of an economy that works for everyone.
we start from a position of considerable strength. we are the fifth biggest economy in the world, despite having the 22nd highest population. we have achieved higher levels of employment than ever before in our history – in fact 2.7 million more than in 2010. we have businesses, research institutions and cultural achievements at the very forefront of global excellence. and for all these reasons, we attract investment and talented individuals from around the world. but there are challenges that the uk must face up to, now and in the years ahead.
the first is to build on our strengths and extend excellence into the future.
our excellence in key technologies, professions, research disciplines and institutions provides us with crucial competitive advantages. but we can’t take them for granted.
if other countries invest more in research and development, and we do not, then we cannot expect to keep, let alone extend, our technological lead in key sectors – or the world-beating performance of our universities. the same goes for our record as europe’s leading destination for inward investment or our position as a centre of international finance. our competitors are not standing still. they are upgrading infrastructure networks and reforming systems of governance. therefore we too must strive for improvement.
in industrial sectors – from automotive and aerospace to financial and professional services and the creative industries – the uk has built a global reputation. but the competition for new investment is fierce and unending. the conditions that have allowed uk investment destinations to succeed include the availability of supportive research programmes, relevant skills in local labour markets and capable domestic supply chains. however, for continuing success, these foundations must be maintained and strengthened.
the second challenge is to ensure that every place meets its potential by working to close the gap between our best performing companies, industries, places and people and those which are less productive. the uk is one of the most centralised countries in the world, but this has not led to the country being uniformly prosperous. for all the global excellence of the uk’s best companies, industries, and places we have too many who lie far behind the leaders. that is why, on average, workers in france, germany and the usa produce around as much in four days as uk workers do in five. it is also why despite having the most prosperous local economy in northern europe – in central london – we also have twelve of the twenty poorest among our closest neighbours.
for all the progress of more people going to university than ever before, too many people don’t have the education and skills they need to be able to command a good wage. we have more university graduates than the oecd average, but also more people with low levels of literacy and numeracy. we must address these long ‘tails’ of underperformance if we are to build a strong economy and ensure sustainable growth in living standards.
the third challenge is to make the uk one of the most competitive places in the world to found or to grow a business. it’s worth noting that many of the most important companies in the world today didn’t even exist 25 years ago. unlike in the past, industrial strategy must be about creating the right conditions for new and growing enterprise to thrive, not protecting the position of incumbents.
