Tim's Tip of the Day

Last night I was fascinated by a lecture by a Ivan Illich on CBC Ideas who criticised the conversion into a series of "inservice" and on going education. A valid criticism but perhaps an achievement for a society that sees itself constantly struggling to be learners for life. We already know that each person will go through about five careers in their lifetime which suggests that education can not ever be a final solution but is something that we work at from the time we are born until we die. We who are alive must always be bound to Aristotles "cogeto" "I think, therefore I am." perhaps better put "I learn to keep on living."

Ensign Notes

"Just a point of curiosity; how was Wolseley capable of serving in WW 1. My understanding of history is that WW 1 started in 1914. Further to this I believe Wolseley died March 25, 1913. Am I missing something here ?" Ken Styan.
Ken is absolutely right, but the basic manual and operational methods of the British Army that were in effect throughout WWI were the creation of Sir Garnet Wolseley, the affects of his work would continue long past his death.


Here we go again
Thursday, April 17, 2003
by: Stu Innes

Bush&Co. cannot export democracy as they are a bunch of hypocrites
Thursday, April 17, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
While praising the American armed forces the United States president cuts veterans pensions. If we accept the weapons of mass destruction story there will be more stories.

Extreme Education
Thursday, April 17, 2003
by: Michael Townsend
Pushing back the edge of the frontiers is what this site and this technology is all about. Mike Townsend put together a "flash" presentation to promote the course he teaches in his Kamloops high school and you will get a kick out of what he has produced. If you are dial up you need to know this one as is 740KB to download.

One thing leads to another
Wednesday, April 16, 2003
by: Brian Marlatt and Timothy W. Shire
Noticing the unusual design of the little house in the story yesterday Brian Marlatt tells us about its design and origin of that design. But he also tells us about some fascinating characters who were inextricably linked to the history of this country. This story includes a brief summary about these men and a good number of references that will let you dig in and find out much more.

The depression
Tuesday, April 15, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Perhaps in time the 1930s may cease to be the primary and most influencial factor in shaping our lives and culture but despite all that has past that era is still in the back of everyone's mind no matter how old or young.

The IMF and World Bank: Poverty Reduction and Growth? Or the Same Old Formula?
Monday, April 14, 2003
by: Mark Weisbrot and Debayani Kar
The International Monetary Fund and World Bank wrecked the economy of Russia and Argentina but that is not holding them back from taking on Sri Lanka and trashing the progress that it has made as they plan to enforce urbanisation of a rural country.

Carrot River Spring
Monday, April 14, 2003
by: Kevin McIntyre
Routinely each spring the rivers and streams in the North Central part of Saskatchewan swell from the melting snow and over flow their banks. But in the last few years there has been very little spring run off. This year Kevin caught the Carrot River doing what it is expected to do with five outstanding images.

Nasty Feelings
Monday, April 14, 2003
by Edwin Wallace / Mel Hurtig
Edwin, like so many of us has been feeling discomfort over the negative anti-Canadianism that we are seeing and hearing about and then he discovered the text of a speech by Mel Hurtig from Edmonton. Here is Edwin's introduction to Mr. Hurtig's speech given in Victoria.

The Greenwater Report
Monday, April 14, 2003

The End Does not - - - - -
Monday, April 14, 2003
by: Rebecca Gingrich
Reflecting on the points made by Brian Marlatt on Friday Rebecca points out that the taking of human life in Iraq by either the former dictator or the Americans amounts to the same thing and ultimately the issue is the conquest and economic activity that is prompting the United States in its Imperial activity.

Baring our truths and taking back our rights: Our lawyers in a world where Might is Right
Monday, April 14, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The pictures that accompany this story are not directly related. Mr. deSantis is dealing with the generalities and the specifics of the legal system as it protects itself and often avoids any conflict that might cast shadows upon itself. The pictures tell about a similar story that surfaced early this morning as CBC has been digging into the death squad cases and Saskatoon Police force.

Its a Ukrainian Thing
Sunday, April 13, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Saturday night the Ukrainian dance group at Ituna held their season show for their home town crowd. This story includes a QuickTime Virtual reality picture of 656K and requires QuickTime installed to be seen. This is really three stories, the community celebration of its heritage, show highlights and some insight into the impact of the culture we know as Ukrainian.

Shakes one's confidence in things
Friday, April 11, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Just a car broken down needing a tow, right? Wrong, it is a Cadillac broken down needing a tow. This must mean something! To hear the song you will need QuickTime installed in your computer.

Friday, April 11, 2003
by: Brian Marlatt

Incidental learning, the stuff of real education
Friday, April 11, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
So what is really happening when a child is playing. What is really happening when a school class goes on a field trip. When learning really happens there must be experience.

Oh you can print this!
Friday, April 11, 2003
by: Kevin McIntyre
Kevin has never been shy about speaking his mind. Here is a practical and the way it is situation report as Kevin talks about the "spoils of war". Kevin does not necessarily agree with the action taken by the United States and is critical of Canada's position but all in all the results are real enough and here is what they are.

Contextual Awareness
Friday, April 11, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
If you look at a bullet is appears harmless enough, why even a gun is just an odd mechanism, but when you consider their design and their function there is a whole different layer of reality that creeps into one's awareness.
