Let's Talk North East Lincolnshire…
It's your chance to help shape the future of the area and transformation of the Council.
Following changes in Government funding, all councils are seeing large amounts cut from their budgets and North East Lincolnshire is no exception.
The Government has drastically cut the funding it gives to us and is reducing it more during the next few years.
The amount of money the Government gives us in revenue support grant will fall from £17.755m in the next financial year to £8,995m in 2019/20. In addition, we've had to cut £79-million from our budget since 2011.
This means we have about £1,100 less per household to spend on delivering services. and this is undoubtedly going to impact on our work on your behalf.
Each year we deliver more than 300 services to almost 160,000 people in more than 70,000 households – helping to improve life for you, your family, your local community and businesses.
We're working more closely with public, voluntary and private sector organisations to deliver services more efficiently.
We want to work with you, with businesses and with other organisations to deliver our services differently.
We're now a much smaller and smarter organisation, but we can't face this challenge alone.
How else can we all do our bit?
Let's talk about it – please complete our short questionnaire asking for your views on what's important to you, where we spend our funding, how we help provide services and how we might do things differently. If you want more details, read our relevant Council meetings and reports on our budget for 2017/18.
If you have any questions, queries or concerns please contact the communications team on 01472 325960, email email@example.com and thank you for your contribution to the area's future.

Whenever an engineer features in literature or drama, the storyline rarely involves the profession. For example, Richard Hannay never gets around to any engineerng. Mr Goodall, like most engineers, is not very forthcoming about what an engineer actually does. If Mr Goodall is prepared to lose some of the 'play it with a straight bat' image of his profession, something could be done.
I have just written a television series in which all the characters bar one are engineers. They are the 'close-knit group of creative, ambitious people, working desperately against . . .' he writes about. They include all kinds of engineers, he might be pleased to know - construction, chemical, computer, mining, geological and a high-flying astro-biophysical genius. They are male and female, brave or cowardly, good, corrupt and bad in varying degrees.
When he sees it, I hope he will be satisfied.

Chila Kumari BURMAN
b. Liverpool, United Kingdom
Chief influences in Burman's art remain her family and Indian roots. One often finds images of ice cream, cornets, and lolly ices scattered throughout her beautiful works that seamlessly blend references to popular culture with family photos, Bollywood stars and Hindu gods.
Burman has worked experimentally across print, paint, sculpture, photography and mixed media since the mid 1980's. Drawing on fine and pop art imagery, she explores Asian femininity, her personal family history, and articulates a critical position within contemporary post-colonial consumption saturated Britain.
About Fortune and Perfect Fit
Burman explores issues of gender and race through the aesthetics of collecting. Playing with the formal properties of dress accessories, lingerie, bindis, bras, flowers, hair- pieces and jewelry, she works with repetition, pattern and allusions to the hyper-feminine, the sexual and the everyday. Encompassing the idea of Arte Povera and recycled materials, Burman cleverly transforms these "worthless" materials that many consider cheap kitsch into a body of art worthy of serious contemplation.

Premier Seeks More U.S. Aid For Pakistan By Zahid Hussain
The Wall Street Journal, May 29, 2008
Pakistan 's new prime minister said he is urging the U.S. to increase its economic and defense assistance to help strengthen his country's newly elected democratic government.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani also said he is willing to work with President Pervez Musharraf, a main U.S. ally in its battle against Islamist terrorism, but he would let his party decide whether to try to force the president from office.
Mr. Musharraf is facing mounting pressure from his political opponents to resign or face removal from office. Earlier this week, the new government introduced measures designed to reduce the president's powers to dismiss the government and dissolve parliament.
Mr. Gilani said further U.S. assistance "will help deliver a democracy dividend to the people" after Pakistan held landmark elections for a new parliament in February.
He also said further aid is needed to help provide political and economic stability as the nation seeks to fight terrorism. Pakistan has received more than $11 billion from the U.S. , most of which has gone to the military, since it joined the U.S.-led fight against terrorism following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Mr. Gilani didn't specify how much further assistance Pakistan is seeking. He made his case for further aid during a recent meeting in the Middle East with President Bush.
Mr. Gilani said the use of military means alone to try to stamp out militancy from Pakistan 's hinterlands would never bring peace. "We need to review our strategy to deal with the situation in the tribal region," he said.
Western intelligence agencies contend that Pakistan 's tribal region has become a major operating center for the al Qaeda terrorist organization and a launching pad for assaults on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's troops in neighboring Afghanistan .
Mr. Gilani, 55 years old, heads a fractious coalition government led by the Pakistan People's Party of assassinated former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
The new government has taken a different tack in the battle against terrorism than that followed by Mr. Musharraf. Mr. Gilani's government has been negotiating with militants and exchanging prisoners.
The latest accord came Wednesday, when the government signed a peace deal with a Taliban militant group in the Mohamand tribal region near the Afghan border. The deal includes a pledge from the militants' leader not to target security and government officials, a government official said.
Mr. Gilani said the government is talking only to the tribesmen who renounce violence and surrender their weapons. But U.S. and NATO officials argue that the peace deals have allowed militants time to regroup.
The prime minister said Pakistani forces would remain deployed along the border. And he emphasized the need to increase the strength of Afghan troops on the Afghan side of the border, saying there is an inadequate force to protect against border crossings.
Eight weeks after a new coalition government was formed, Pakistan continues to reel from internal political strife. The coalition that emerged from February's elections began to fall apart after a major coalition partner -- the Pakistan Muslim League (N) led by former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif -- pulled its ministers from the cabinet.
The PPP and Mr. Sharif disagreed over how to restore judges ousted by Mr. Musharraf when he declared a temporary state of emergency late last year.
The fate of Mr. Musharraf and how the government should deal with him has added a further destabilizing element.
Mr. Gilani said he would maintain a working relationship with Mr. Musharraf for now. "I have no problem working with him, but will go by the party's decision," the prime minister said.

Published: July 1, 1990
(Page 3 of 5)
Given growing civilian intolerance for training maneuvers in the German countryside, ''Why are we there?'' Could the committee have a list of such maneuvers from five years ago? ''We would like to go through it, specifically thing by thing, so that will help us as we make some decisions.''
Why is the United States funding a new base for the F-16 bomber in Crotone, ''a few miles from Italy's kidnap capital?''
About money set aside to build chapels and family centers on foreign bases: ''Why? That's outrageous, I would think! You haven't requested it, but you're going to. . . ?'' (''Yessir - uh, ma'am,'' Rear Adm. David E. Bottorff gulped in reply, glancing too late at the sign he'd taped in front of him that said ''Madame Chairwoman.'') ''Let me also note why we are putting the first follow-on MX rail garrison in Speaker Foley's district?'' she said, referring to one of the first controversial installations housing the rail-born MX missile, which is scheduled for House Speaker Thomas S. Foley's Washington state district. ''There wouldn't be any politics involved, would there? You're not trying to solicit more support for rail garrisons?'' Yet for all her military expertise, Schroeder is best known for family issues. Two years ago she put together the ''Great American Family Tour,'' a series of presentations on child-care issues with the pediatrician T. Berry Brazelton and Gary David Goldberg, the executive producer of ''Family Ties,'' who once ran a day-care facility. She credits the interest the tour generated with getting candidates in the 1988 Presidential election to take child care seriously. She was a primary sponsor of the House's companion bill to the Senate's Act for Better Child Care Services (the A.B.C. bill). She lobbied personally for the bill and coordinated support through the Caucus on Women's Issues. In March, House Speaker Foley guided the bill to passage in the House, 265-145.
Another bill she pushed for with increasing fervor in 1989 and early 1990 was her Family and Medical Leave Act, which gives both male and female workers a minimum amount of job-protected, unpaid leave at the birth or adoption of a child, or for serious but temporary family illness. She first proposed it in 1985, after developing ''issues sheets'' on the subject with her staff. Not everyone was pleased: ''To hear the Chamber of Commerce talk about it, you'd think we were Communists,'' says Dan Buck. ''In Washington the politicians say, 'There go the people - let's get in front of 'em!' '' Schroeder says. She operates on the assumption that, after a while, the message will trickle up to the politicians. As she had with the child-care bill, she lobbied for the family-leave bill in Congress and took it directly to the voters in dozens of speeches. When President Bush said he would veto ''any kind of maternity-leave bill,'' she accused him of ''coming out against motherhood.'' The bill passed the House on May 10, 287-187. The companion bill passed the Senate by a voice vote on June 14. Within hours after the vote, White House officials reaffirmed the President's intention to veto the measure ''as soon as it reaches his desk.''
Long adept at linking domestic issues to foreign policy, Schroeder doubts the ''peace dividend'' will materialize: ''It's now you see it - blink, blink - now you don't,'' she says. But if it does, she thinks it should be ''more broadly defined,'' to include the Department of Energy (where much of the budget goes into nuclear weapons) and the Central Intelligence Agency.
''We've got so much in the intelligence budget it makes you gag - who are we gonna spy on, Albania?'' she snorts. She believes a $70 billion cut in defense spending is possible. Half of that amount should go toward the deficit, the rest into education. ''I think it's absolute garbage that young people who have the ability of passing the tests can't go to school because their dad doesn't have the money,'' she argues vehemently. ''How are we gonna compete in the 21st century?''
Schroeder's voting record is as independent as her style. In 1989 she voted against positions taken by President Bush more than any other member of the House (79 percent of the time), but among the Colorado delegation, she is also known for not voting with fellow Democrats on ''party unity'' votes, in which a majority of Democrats oppose a majority of Republicans. Though a liberal, she is also one of the most fiscally conservative members of the House, according to the National Taxpayer's Union - ''Jack Kemp just hates it when I mention that,'' she says, giggling. Not surprisingly, she is known in the Congress as a ''lone wolf,'' not a compliment.
PARTLY BECAUSE OF this independence, Schroeder relies heavily on her staff members in Denver and Washington, some of whom have worked for her for their entire careers. She also relies, less formally, on Jim Schroeder, the amiable, low-key man she married almost 28 years ago when the two were students at Harvard Law School. He was the one who first urged her to run for Congress in 1972 in what was supposed to be a hopeless but honorable race. When she won, he abandoned his partnership in a Denver law firm and his own political ambitions (a liberal Democrat, he once ran for office in Denver) to go to Washington: ''I had no alternative,'' he says simply. Often ''the first line of defense,'' as he says, at home when their children were small, he eventually became a partner at Kaplan, Russin & Vecchi, a Washington law firm with a sizable international practice. Jim Schroeder, a founder of the Denis Thatcher Society, for men married to powerful women (their motto is ''Yes, dear'') downplays his influence on his wife's career today: ''When I go home at night I don't want to discuss my cases, she doesn't discuss what happened in committee.'' But when asked to name her boss's ''most trusted adviser,'' Andrea Camp, Pat Schroeder's press secretary, instantly names him.

Top small cap market-making firm Winterflood Securities has agreed to a multi-million-pound out-of-court settlement with Pershing Securities, Small Talk can reveal. The dispute between the two City firms was part of the scandal surrounding the collapsed stockbroker SP Bell and its chief executive, Simon Eagle.
The case had been expected to come to trial this month but was abandoned by Pershing after Winterflood, owned by the merchant bank Close Brothers, agreed to pay for a settlement. SP Bell fell into administration in 2004 after it emerged that dozens of its customers' accounts had been used to buy about £10m worth of shares in the AIM computer company Fundamental-e. As well as heading up the stockbroker, Mr Eagle was also chairman of Fundamental-e.
Pershing helped settled the share buying by SP Bell but was left out of pocket when it became clear that the trades were unauthorised and customers refused to pay for the stock acquired in their names. Winterflood is believed to have helped SP Bell execute the trades and was held responsible by Pershing for failing to check they had been correctly authorised.
However, both sides now insist the matter is closed. A statement from Winterflood Securities said: "The parties, Pershing Securities Limited and Winterflood Securities Limited, confirm that all claims have been settled and withdrawn and that both sides are now looking forward to developing their business relationship".
Sound Oil
The cash shell Sound Oil is set to return to AIM this week, possibly as soon as today, having completed a deal in Indonesia and a £13m fund raising. Sound shares were suspended at 7p in March when it revealed it was looking at an acquisition in Asia that would entail a reverse takeover.
Meanwhile, in May the group bought a 50 per cent interests in a Bangladeshi gas block for $2m, next to Cairn Energy's Sangu field, in the Chittagong Hills.
The wider market shake-out has taken the wind out of the small cap oil stocks in recent months, but those behind Sound will still be hoping the news sends its shares sharply higher.
Security company SectorGuard has grown profits in every year since its March 2002 float. This year should be no different. Interim results, to be posted by SectorGuard today, will show a 32 per cent rise in operating profits to £690,000 and a 16 per cent increase in sales to £9m for the six months to 31 March.
The group started out as a manned guards firm but has since branched out via acquisitions into other security areas including the protection of assets belonging to retailers and homes with intruder and fire alarms.
The business began life in 1998 with 50 employees. Today it has more than 700. Recent months have seen SectorGuard buy an intruder alarm business. Expect more acquisitions in the coming months.
Over-reaction to Adamind's warning
Adamind, the Israeli multimedia messaging group spun out of Emblaze Systems in 2005, saw its shares halve last week after a profit warning. Understandably, the City took news of contract delays badly. The company supplies software that ensures multimedia messages and e-mails are compatible between different handsets and securing a steady stream of deals is vital for its target of being profitable next year.
However, reaction may have been overdone. Adamind shares closed at 39p on Friday. Given the company has $20m of cash on its balance - around 33p a share - this values its ongoing business at virtually nothing. Yet Bridgewell Securities, the group's broker, estimates Adamind can generate sales of $17m next year and a pre-tax profit of $1.5m.
Adamind is looking to cash in on the ever rising number of mobile phone users who are moving from text to picture messaging and downloading content such as news and music clips. This growth is unlikely to let up any time soon and Adamind has more than 100 networks as clients, including US giant Verizon Wireless. Now is not the time for shareholders to abandon Adamind.Reuse content

What is an APK File? Just like Windows PC systems use a .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software (usually games or apps) on the Android operating system.
APK files also allow you to bypass carriers to get the latest Google updates, which can take a a frustrating amount of time to arrive via an over-the-air update from your network, and if your Android device lacks access to the Google Play Store, APK files may be your only option for installing apps on your device.
APK files can be installed on Android powered devices just like installing software on PC. When a user downloads and installs an Android application from either an official source (such as Google Play), or from some other (unofficial) site, they are installing an APK file on their device. A user or developer can also install an APK file directly to a device (that is, not via download from the network) from a desktop computer, using a communication program such as adb. By default, the ability to install from unofficial sites or directly from a desktop is disabled for security reasons on most Android devices. You can enable it by changing the setting "Unknown sources" in the Settings menu.
You must find an APK file that you want. Search online for an APK file and download it to an easy-to-find location on your computer (like your desktop). Before you can install it on your phone you will need to make sure that third-party apps are allowed on your device. Go to Menu > Settings > Security > and check "Unknown Sources" to allow your phone to install apps from sources other than the Google Play Store. If you like, you can also download an app like ES File Explorer so you can easily find files on your Android device.
Once you have downloaded the file on your computer, connect your device to it. At this point, you may be asked if you simply want to charge your phone or connect it as a "media device." Choose "media device". Then, simply find your phone's folder on your computer (it will be in "My Computer" or "Computer" on Windows machines) and copy the APK file into a folder of your choice in your Android smartphone.—————————————————————————————————–

The worse the news of abandoned patients and mishandled bodies in the NHS has become, the more strenuously the Prime Minister has promised a solution by the next election. But can he achieve a turnaround, let alone in this timescale?
One way of predicting the future of the NHS in England is to use Scotland as a crystal ball. For in one sense the promised future has already arrived there. Today's level of spending on health care in Scotland has achieved the target set for England for 2004 . At £1,059 per capita it is almost a quarter higher than the figure for England (£885), and roughly the same as, or even above, the European Union average, depending on how that is calculated. If England achieves the EU average, will Tony Blair's gamble have come off ?
The short answer is: be cautious in laying your bets. Scotland certainly demonstrates that if you spend more money, you can provide more doctors, more nurses and more beds. You can treat more people, at a less frenetic pace, and offer a more relaxed environment to both patients and staff. But it also suggests that more resources do not automatically transform a provider-dominated service into a consumer-driven one, which is the aim that ministers have set themselves.
The national compendium of UK health statistics confirms that, surprisingly, Scotland translates extra money into extra provision for its population. Scotland has a third more acute hospital beds per 1,000 population than England, with a correspondingly higher number of doctors and nurses. The disparity in the number of mental illness beds is even larger: Scotland has double the number. The average list size of Scottish GPs is lower than in England, and they dish out more, and slightly more expensive, prescriptions. Scots are more likely to end up as hospital in-patients than their English counterparts and visit their GPs more frequently. And once in hospital, they stay there longer.
But when we switch from inputs to outputs, the picture gets more complicated. Consider the kind of procedures that tend to feature in complaints and swell waiting lists in the NHS in England. Scots have a higher chance of getting coronary artery by-pass grafts (CABGs) and hip replacements than the English. Conversely, however, the English have a higher chance of getting knee replacements, their cataracts done and their hernias repaired.
Comparing waiting times is tricky, because the way they are calculated differs in the two countries. But, for what they are worth, the official figures (for 2000 ) suggest little difference in the time patients spent waiting for their first hospital appointment, except that a slightly smaller proportion of Scots (5.2 per cent as against 6.3 per cent) waited more than six months. And once on the waiting list, the Scots were processed more quickly, with a mean waiting time of three months as against four and a third in England. However, since these official figures were published, the NHS performance in England has improved somewhat, while that in Scotland has deteriorated slightly.
Overall, then, these figures would suggest a rather more accessible and less pressurised NHS in Scotland, though stopping well short of a demand-led service fit for the 21st century. But the Scottish crystal ball is flawed in one crucial respect. The reason why the NHS in Scotland gets more money – under a formula devised in the 1970s – is that its population is less healthy than England's. The Scots have a shorter life expectancy and higher rates of illness and disability, reflecting both social conditions and lifestyle. There is therefore, it is argued, a greater need for health care.
Differences in the populations make it difficult to extrapolate from the Scottish present to the English future. But there are some clues, which suggest that more money will not of itself do the trick for Tony Blair. Consider just one aspect of the Scottish performance. One explanation why more Scots are admitted to hospital, and stay there longer, might be that they are more ill. But another reason could be that it is politically difficult to close beds and once there, the beds tend to be filled: in health care, supply creates its own demand. In other words, high admission rates and leisurely lengths of stay do not necessarily mean a high quality service for patients.
Such a sceptical conclusion is reinforced by the findings of a recent study published in the British Medical Journal. This compared the performance of the NHS and California's Kaiser Permanente, a not-for-profit health maintenance organisation providing comprehensive health care for a population of six million (compared to Scotland's five). Adjusted for differences in prices here and in the US, and for the composition of the populations served, Kaiser Permanente's per capita spending was only 10 per cent higher than that of the UK NHS as a whole: ie lower than that of Scotland.
But it delivered considerably more. Thus 80 per cent of patients referred to a consultant are seen within 13 weeks and 90 per cent are admitted to hospital within three months. It has a much higher rate for angioplasty and coronary bypass grafts. And so on. The average patient spends 20 minutes per consultation with his or her GP, as against eight minutes in the UK.
The trick, it seems, is to concentrate on keeping people out of hospital. Kaiser Permanente's use of hospital beds (the most expensive part of medical care) is a third of the NHS's. The money so saved is spent on employing more community-based doctors operating in community-based multi-specialty clinics, with laboratory and radiology services laid on. Moreover, Kaiser Permanente appears to have solved one of the organisational challenges facing any health-care system: how to create conditions under which doctors will adopt high-quality, efficient practices while enjoying a large degree of autonomy, thus internalising organisational imperatives, rather than having them resentfully forced down their throats.
One conclusion can therefore be drawn from the Scottish case. This is that spending more money may be a necessary condition if, come the next general election, the NHS is to be a source of self-congratulation rather than self-flagellation for Tony Blair. But it is far from being a sufficient condition. Putting more money into the NHS is the easy bit. Changing the dynamics of the service is the more difficult, but essential, task.

REAL MADRID and Valencia, along with Porto and Sparta Prague, secured places in the next phase of the Champions' League on Tuesday night. They join Barcelona and Bordeaux, who qualified last week.
REAL MADRID and Valencia, along with Porto and Sparta Prague, secured places in the next phase of the Champions' League on Tuesday night. They join Barcelona and Bordeaux, who qualified last week.
However, Bayern Munich, beaten in the last minute by Manchester United in last year's final, have a fight if they are to progress after a 2-1 away defeat to the Dutch club, PSV Eindhoven, on Tuesday.
The German side, three times the European champions in the 1970s, will need to beat Rangers in their last fixture in Group F if they are to maintain their Champions' League campaign.
Franz Beckenbauer, the Bayern Munich legend and club president, said: "I can't explain our lethargic showing. But the defeat changes nothing in essence - even before the match in Eindhoven we had to win the last match against Glasgow. So it's still in our own hands."
Valencia's 2-1 win at Rangers, courtesy of first-half goals from Gaizca Mendieta and Claudio Lopez, ensures they will finish top of Group F and either Bayern or Rangers, who meet in Munich next week, will be eliminated.
In Group H, Chelsea and Hertha Berlin both have eight points, two ahead of Milan. A point for the Londoners in their final game at home to Hertha will ensure they go through, while a draw for the Germans could enable them to progress at the expense of Milan, who travel to face Galatasaray two points behind.
The German side looked on course for their third victory when going ahead against Galatasaray, but the Turkish team responded after the interval to win 4-1, with Hakan Sukur netting twice.
In Group E, Porto and Real Madrid qualified after comfortable victories over Norway's Molde and Olympiakos of Greece respectively.
Sparta Prague's 0-0 draw at Bordeaux in Group G was enough to enable the Czech club to join the French champions in qualifying after Spartak Moscow could only draw 1-1 at home to Willem II Tilburg.Reuse content

When my wife and I received news of our pregnancy through In Vitro Fertilization after five years of doctor appointments, surgeries, medication and thousands of dollars, each of us decided to do something for the greater good.
I went to work on a memoir about our journey, my wife, decided to chop off her beautiful black hair and donate it to charity. And let me tell you, I didn't really support her charitable act.
With limited knowledge of the agencies accepting hair donations, I went to work, searching Google. Here's what I found:
Locks of Love: this was the first organization that came to both our minds. We knew of this organization from a friend of the family, who donated their hair several times.
Wigs for Kids: one of two organizations recommended by the American Cancer Society recommendation. Created in 1981 by Jeffrey Paul a Certified Cosmetic Therapist, this organization makes hand-made wigs for children.
Pantene: the second organization recommended by the American Cancer Society. Yes – this is the same company seen on TV commercials advertising Pantene shampoo.
Children with Hair Loss: founded in 2000 with the hope of giving children hair replacements at no cost. According to their site, they provide over 300 hair replacements to children each year. They offer hair replacements to children for any reason not just cancer.
Hair Aid: an organization located in India. The site says anyone can submit a hair donation.
Hair Hopes: offers quality hair and scalp prosthesis through financial or hair donations. They allow contact between recipients and donors. This is neat as it enables donors to see where their hair is going.
Angel Hair for Kids: an organization seeking to support and ehance disadvantaged children's lives. Services provided in Canada but hair donations accepted from anywhere.
Cutting off one's hair and donating it to an organization for the wellbeing of others is admirable. It's easy to give financial assistance but cutting off long beautiful black hair as my wife did is an act she can share with our daughter when she comes of age.
My wife's charitable act opened my eyes because it made me search read and see information and photos of children helped by receiving hair donations.
I'm positive her 14″ of long black hair made a child in need of hair very happy.

Whiteshell River, Lone Island Lake to Jessica Lake
We paddled west 13km from Lone Island Lake dock to reach the shore of Jessica Lake and camped for the night.
|Eagle nest by the river
We were surprised to find a green truck underwater.
We had to explore it.
We found a nice place for our campsite at Jessica Lake.
A deer was swimming at Jessica lake when we arrived
After looking for a spot for our tent I found a petroform. Archeologists believe that some of the local petroforms were created up to 2000 years ago before the formation of individual First Nation tribes.
The petroform is snake shaped; pretribal aboriginal people would signal a nearby river with a snake, and a lake with a turtle. Petroforms are features created by the careful placement of stones to form images that carry spiritual significance for the First Nations of the area. Petroforms can signify a lake nearby or portage crossing, among other things but were mostly created in remote places for the purpose of spiritual ceremonies. Creation of the petroforms was not intended as an art-form but as an act of worship, societal values and traditions that define the nature of one's relationship to the unknown. Petroforms were discovered most commonly pointing in the direction of the summer sunrise signifying the importance of sun to First Peoples. Whiteshell's Sacred Stones
We set up camp and made a leave no trace fire. Careful not to mark any rocks with soot or burn the ground soil. We made sure that other visitors wouldn't have known that there had been a fire there.
We prepared our canoe for the return trip and decided to practice map reading and compass use.
We reviewed orienting a map, and taking bearings on a map to transfer them to the landscape.

School vouchers
|The dismal science
|Competing Theme Parks
$ Capitalism
|Rides And Rollercoasters
|Vomiting Passengers
[edit] School choice in Europe
Sweden introduced a voucher system in 1992, which requires that students using vouchers are accepted on a first-come first-served basis.[1] Denmark has done the same. In the Netherlands, public and private schools have been given financial equity since 1917, which resulted in a de facto voucher system.
The Dutch system is as "voucherized" as you can get, to the extent of covering a majority of the nation's students. It does seem to work without a hitch, but for various reasons, its success has been difficult to export elsewhere.[2] The Swedes, for example, may reconsider their entire approach after a series of recent scandals.[3]
[edit] School choice in the US
Possibly the biggest problem with this is tax money being used to fund religious education, a big no-no in places such as the United States where separation of church and state is supposed to be a thing. This has already occurred in states that have or had voucher programs such as Florida, where public money was funding schools with educational curricula including creationism.[4][5] No surprise, then, that the Religious Right and their donors are major proponents of "school choice" (read: tax money for religious indoctrination).[6][7]
Proponents argue that competition would force public schools to perform to keep up. Private school students generally perform better on reading and math tests; however, the U.S. Department of Education found that when adjusted for factors such as race and gender, private schools perform about as well as public schools.[8]
Opponents also argue that any difference comes from the fact that private schools tend to reject applicants from disadvantaged backgrounds or with behavioral problems, while public are required by law to take anyone. In other words, it's not a shock that schools full of rich white kids with private tutors have better results. "School choice" also can be seen as de facto segregation, especially in The Southern United States.[9]
[edit] Legal decisions
In 2002, the Supreme Court upheld a voucher program in Cleveland, Ohio in the case of Zelman v. Simmons-Harris.[10] This initiated what is known as the "private choice test":
- The program must have a valid secular purpose,
- Aid must go to parents and not to the schools,
- A broad class of beneficiaries must be covered,
- The program must be neutral with respect to religion, and
- There must be adequate non-religious options.
However, a number of state supreme courts have ruled against vouchers that would fund religious schools, like Florida,[11] or they have been voted down by referendum such as in California, Michigan,[12] and Utah, of all places.[13]

Brunner knew when to nudge her students
It could be a knock on a door, a chance encounter in a hallway, a phone call. Sister J. Dolores Brunner had a way of popping up at the right time in the lives of the women - most of them Latina - she thought needed a nudge.
She found all kinds of ways to be that nudge.
Anna Villarreal had picked up a brochure about Alverno College at a health fair. She dropped it into a bin in her office at the United Community Center, where she worked at a clinic. Months later, she called Sister Brunner to ask some questions.
"Two hours later, she stopped at the clinic. She hand-delivered the information," said Villarreal, who attended Alverno College for seven years, graduating in 2001 with a degree in business and management.
And if the sister known on campus as "Sister J.D." saw a stray student in a hallway, she'd approach and ask what was up, and wouldn't it be a good idea to be in class.
"We called it 'the ministry of the corridors,' " said Sister Mary Therese Brunner, her sister and a member of the School Sisters of St. Francis.
Sister J. Dolores Brunner died Monday at the Sacred Heart Convent in Milwaukee. She was 92. She had just celebrated her 75 years as a member of the School Sisters of St. Francis.
Sister J. Dolores Brunner liked to say it wasn't enough to get Latinas and other minorities into college.
"They must graduate," she'd say.
They did, she made sure of that. Nudge, nudge. She kept a book of photos - hundreds of them - of those who had graduated. Villarreal isn't sure her photo is in that book, because she was never in her office.
"She came to me," Villarreal said. "I never needed to go there."
Brunner went where the potential students were - whether it was a McDonald's or a local fair, said Mary Therese Brunner, who was just 4 when her sister went to the convent.
A religious family
Josephine Dolores Brunner grew up on a farm in Cross Plains near Madison, the oldest of eight children in a deeply religious household. She was the first of three sisters to go off to St. Joseph Convent in Milwaukee after finishing St. Francis Xavier grade school.
"We liked the sisters so much that we wanted to be like that," said Sister Mary Therese Brunner.
After high school, Sister J. Dolores Brunner earned a bachelor's degree in education from Alverno College in 1942.
She taught second grade in Milwaukee, at St. Catherine School from 1941 to '45 and at St. Lawrence School until 1947. At the same time, she worked on her master's degree in education at Marquette University. She received it in 1948.
In 1950, she began teaching religion and education at Alverno College. She earned a doctorate in education at St. Louis University in St. Louis, Mo., in 1951, then returned to Alverno, first as assistant academic dean and then, in 1960, as academic dean.
She went to Costa Rica in 1970, planning to teach for a year at St. Clare College. She stayed for 10 years.
Back in Milwaukee, she took on the work for which she would become known.
Beginning in 1981, she worked in admissions and academic services. Her focus was recruiting minority students.
It was here that Sister J. Dolores Brunner helped Anna Villarreal believe that, at age 37 and with three kids, a husband and full-time job, she could get a degree by going to Alverno College on weekends. For seven years.
Villarreal had been out of school for 20 years. Brunner sensed there may be some anxiety in going back. When Villarreal headed to Alverno for assessment - a day of placement testing - Sister J.D. told her precisely what to expect. "The day before, she called me to explain what was going to happen. 'You'll have to speak, there will be testing. You might want to bring your lunch . . . some people might finish a test sooner than you. That doesn't mean anything," Villarreal said.
"You know how they say people get put in your path to help you with something? I would say she was put in my path for me to go back to school. Through the whole time, she was there. It was like a mom who always knew what her kids were up to - even if I didn't see her."
Why the focus on Latinas? Socorro Gonzales, a 1999 Alverno graduate, said Brunner wanted them to believe that college could be a reality for them.
"For somebody from within these big walls, within this college, to say, 'You can do this.' It didn't seem so intimidating," Gonzales said. "For me, I needed to hear that."
Over the years, Brunner's work brought awards. In 1999, she was named one of the U.S. Postal Service's "Women Who Put Their Stamp on Milwaukee." And in 2006, the same year she retired, Latino Arts Inc. and the United Community Center honored her.
Alverno College President Mary J. Meehan said education was Brunner's life.
"Whether it was encouraging Hmong women in supermarkets to go to college, or teaching newly arrived immigrants from Mexico how to read, she gently yet persuasively suggested a road to a better life for all of us," she said in a statement.
Villarreal sees it another way.
"I felt she just helped whoever needed it. I didn't feel it was just because I was Hispanic," she said.
"She was like my angel - my guardian angel that always popped in. Just happened to be there."
Besides Sister Mary Therese Brunner, survivors of Sister J. Dolores Brunner include Sister Virginia Brunner, also a member of the School Sisters of St. Francis, and brothers Henry and Norbert Brunner.
Services will be held Thursday. Visitation will be held at 4 p.m. at St. Joseph's Convent, 1501 S. Layton Blvd. A funeral Mass will follow at 6:30 p.m. Memorials are suggested to the School Sisters of St. Francis Development Office.

Amjad Sabri's son cried reciting Mai qabar andheri mai ghabraunga jab tanha in Soyem rasm of Amjad Sabri
میں قبر اندھری میں گھبراؤں گا !! بیٹا بھی باپ کے نقش قدم پر، سوئم کی تقریب میں ایسا اقدام، سب کو رلا دیا
Amjad Sabri, a master of qawwali, the devotional music that is wildly popular across the Indian subcontinent and well beyond, was gunned down in Karachi, Pakistan. The man who spent his life singing the praises of the prophet Muhammad, continuing a centuries-long tradition of musical veneration, was accused of blaspheming the prophet, and he was executed for it.
During Ramadan.
That is so important, so painful and so hard to make sense of for the many Muslims — particularly for Pakistanis like me — because qawwali is part of our religion. At a time when Islam is reduced to warlike, uncivilized violence and portrayed as an angry, intolerant faith, qawwali is evidence of something different. The historic spread of Islam through much of what we call the Muslim world happened largely through architecture, calligraphy, poetry, but perhaps above all, music.
In South Asia, home to an astonishing one-third of the world's Muslims, preachers and poets composed verse that survived for centuries, embedding Semitic values into local languages, a mix that was as intoxicating as it was unique. Qawwali is the soundtrack of that tradition.

The warning came as Health Secretary Alan Milburn set out sweeping proposals to turn Britain's best hospitals into not-for-profit trusts with the power to set local rates of pay.
Failing hospitals will be turned around by handing them over to private companies, charities or managers of neighbouring hospitals.
Announcing his plans, Mr Milburn described the NHS as Britain's "last great nationalised industry" and said the reforms are essential for improving patient care.
However, patients' representatives warned that they could lead to a twotier health service. Leaders of public-sector trade unions said the changes could trigger a wave of strikes as staff at neighbouring hospitals compete to win the best pay and conditions.
Downing Street insisted that national minimum pay scales would remain, but conceded that hospitals may be granted the power to set higher rates to suit local conditions.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman said national pay review bodies would continue to operate, but added: "What people do in terms of incentives may be another issue."
He dismissed comparisons with the rail industry, saying: "This is not about splitting up hospitals. It is about giving those hospitals with a proven track record of success the autonomy to build on that success."
However, GMB general secretary John Edmonds said: "This shows that ministers are not prepared to listen to reason and are intent on forcing through backdoor privatisation of the NHS.
"It is staggering that at a time when the failure of rail privatisation is there for all to see, the Government is intent on making the same mistake with our hospitals. The last thing the public wants is to see the NHS turn into a new Railtrack."
Under Mr Milburn's proposals, assessments of hospitals will be based on a "traffic-lights" system, introduced in September, which gave every NHS trust a star rating between nought and three.
The best hospitals will be rewarded with "foundation hospital" status. The centralised NHS will continue to set standards and carry out inspections, but otherwise local managers will be free to run their hospitals how they wished.
Trusts will continue to be funded by the taxpayer with an annual budget, allocated by the Department of Health and fixed according to performance. The proposal for foundation hospitals, which may require legislation, is also likely to be extended to primary care trusts - the GP-led groups set up to take control of 75 per cent of the NHS budget.
Mr Milburn's aides are billing today's speech, to the New Health Network in London, as the most important in his career as Health Secretary.
He said: "I cannot run a millionstrong health service from my office in Whitehall, nor should I."
Tory health spokesman Oliver Heald accused Mr Milburn of "panicking" and said: "This seems to me to be a bit of a back of the envelope job."
