E IN ADL D E TH N 0 ATI O I L 3 P LI C AP R AP Post-secondary Sponsorship Program Guidebook Pos t-seco n d a r y E d u c a t i o n Pr o g ra m A Message from Chief and Council EDUCATION IS THE GREAT EQUALIZER One of the dreams of any Chief and Council is to provide more than just the basic needs of our Members, but also to help them realize satisfying and fulfilling lives. Developing our Members' potential and the collective brainpower of our people, is one of the greatest untapped resources we have to work with to build a brighter and more prosperous future. Higher education is the key to unlocking that potential, but education can do much more for individuals who take part. Education is a great equalizer that can allow our Members to compete and contribute to society on the same basis as other Canadians. It can also be a great liberator in providing Members with greater opportunities and choices in their lives. Higher education can lead to satisfying, good-paying jobs and the ability for our Members to make direct contributions to our First Nation, something Chief and Council strongly support. The Nelson House Educational Authority (NHEA) Post-secondary Education Program provides the opportunity and financial support for our Members to pursue their educational dreams. We encourage our Members to use the program to make that possible. 2 A Message from Nelson House Educational Authority Congratulations on your interest in pursing Some people believe that all First a higher education.

DOES THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM REQUIRE YOU TO RETURN SERVICE AS A CONDITION FOR FUNDING? Students who obtain their education through the sponsorship program may want to use their professional skills to benefit Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation members and the Nelson House community once they graduate, but there is no formal requirement for you to return service as a condition for sponsorship. This recognizes that not all career paths provide skills the community can easily use and skills in certain areas may be limited. 10 3 How to Apply for Sponsorship WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS • A photocopy of your Status Card with FOR SUBMITTING YOUR the expiry date** SPONSORSHIP APPLICATION? • A photocopy of your Manitoba Health Card** For your sponsorship application package to be considered, • A brief family history (immediate family it must include: as far as you know: name grandparents, parents, siblings, where you were • A completed sponsorship application born, etc. Note if you are a Bill C-31 cover sheet (Form 1*) candidate?)** • A dated and signed application-for- • A brief résumé showing your education sponsorship form (Form 2*) fully and work history.

Ruthannn: bringing brugs in question
Ruthann, I've been reviewing your tutorial on bringing in brugs and I've seen how huge and wonderful your inground planted brugs get up there in Canada. (I'm in Colorado with 4 months guaranteed summer.) There has been discussion of how to "guarantee" earlier blooms, such as when cutting back for the winter, cut back above a "Y". However your method suggests cutting back to a very short stem, no "Y", before putting plants into dormancy. And even the root balls have been trimmed severely. So can you explain why your method produces such great growth in such a short season?
Thanks Ruthann!!
I think mostly it has to do with my soil Diane. I have spent years amending it, even up to last summer all the neighbour's summer lawn clippings and fall leaves were added to the top of the soil and every year I add generous quantities of mushroom compost to the planting holes. However, I do leave my variegated and doubles standing to just their first Y, those two cultivars are slower growing so need that Y in order to get their blooms started earlier.
I think the cutting way back like I do/did was a space saving effort, I used to cram 50 Brugs plus Fuchsia,Canna tubers, 5 vine plants etc in a 10X10 structure so space was at a premium. I also found that when the plants sent up new growth, they seemed to make their new 'Y's at a much lower height than their initial ones so that made a big difference as well. The hardest part was making myself snap off any new growth on them until March, then I would leave it to grow and start opening the winter house up to more light so that growth wouldn't be 'wimpy'. Then in April, I feel that the watering with Transplant fertilizer wakes the roots up and to start developing so they are ready to get growing out into the soil as soon as they are planted out.
I must say though, this method is not the best one for the versicolour, they do like it warmer than 50-55F but I hate house plants so I just have to watch them closely down in their winter house and have them the closest to the heaters.
This year I am re-homing all my big older Brugs and only keeping 7 that I started as cuttings last fall. I am not running the winter house any longer, power is getting expensive so the Brugs are coming into the basement. DH will have to carry them up and down so I have to think about their sizes and weights more now.
When you live is an area of such a short growing season and short time you can have them outdoors, you really have to work out what works best for you. I don't believe my method would work well for Brugs always potted, only for when they are planted in the ground over the growing season.
It took a few years but by trial and error I found the method that worked best for me.
Thanks Ruthann! Lots of good info/explanation. I don't know how many of these I can really overwinter, dormant or growing (I have lots of houseplants, they keep my spirits up when the world is white and dead outside!) but I'm going to experiment this year.
You would be surprised how many brugs you can fit into a small space. I made a little"room" using particle board. to keep my cats from playing in my brugs over the winter.
I end up placing my largest rootballs in first and slipping smaller(?) ones in between.
Any despite no light, they want to grow.
The only issue comes when you give them a drink over the winter. I have to remember to increase the air flow afterwards or I can get mushing stems.
Green Thumb...your storing method is really nice. I usually
tie mine up like that also. It makes a lot more space that way. Very nice plants!
I want Ruth Ann's soil. lol I also usually cut my brugs back to about 10" because of space issues but have found that the ones that have been left like GTG's do bloom much earlier. Unfortunately space is an issue, even with my dormant plants. Except for cuttings I let all my brugs go dormant including variegated, culebra, etc. Like Ruth Ann I can't stand having plants in my house. That does sound odd for a plant lover but I want them outside or in one of the greenhouses year round. I have a spare room that I set up with HID lights over the winter when necessary but really can't stand it. If I only had brugs to deal with it wouldn't be an issue but I have hundreds of plants that need winter protection and most can't be forced into dormancy : (
I'm a fan of putting the brugs to sleep (obviously) no pests to deal with and it's a little break. I have another room with lots of fluorescent lights where I have some plants to play with; like cuttings.
As Ruth Ann stated, our hydro costs are going up.
I don't heat my greenhouse - it sits empty for the winter.
my basement sits around 60 - 70F - guessing.
I don't worry about the temp; because I know it doesn't get too cold. I wouldn't keep them below 50F over the winter; but that's me. Severe weather may cause it to drop more and some varieties will be very unhappy.
If you keep them warm, just check them more frequently to make sure they don't dry out too much.
My last flush of the season is now going on, I have sat out the last couple of nights just to inhale deeply while wearing a sweater and a throw over my legs. With it being cooler out, they aren't quite as fragrant as long in the evenings so have to take advantage of this last hurrah! Every single one has some stage of bloom on them, not as many as normal on a couple of the bigger ones as we had big winds a few days ago the ripped a lot of unopened blooms of but the branches remained in tact.
I have to admit that in the past, I have always pushed my luck in keeping my brugs out longer than I should have. It will depend on the region that you live.
The odd cold night shouldn't be a problem for most varieties but, I have a couple that show a reaction to the cold temps on their trunks. I can only guess that the cold stress could contribute to some susceptibility to fungal diseases.
But don't let me panic you. If your buds are still quite small, and your forecast indicates that it is only going to get cooler - perhaps it's best to bring it in. Also consider what your schedule is going to be like.
Risk of frost is probably the biggest governing factor.
One year, i got hit really hard and my brugs melted quite a bit. They did recover
The green foliage and stems can not take a frost, certainly not a good one. If you wish to see buds bloom and you get early frosts, move them in for the night if potted or cover them with cloth, NOT just plastics as plastic does not insulate, and place a light at their base under the protection. (Christmas light strings or a 40 watt bulb in a lamp is plenty)The small amount of heat from the lights is enough to ward off the frost damage.
Here in my Zone 5-6 I take chances because I prune mine back so far that it matters not if the newest most tender growth gets damaged if I take a risk.
I usually wait until the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend ( that is Oct 9-11 this year to bring mine in but if the night time lows are above 36-38, I will bring them in at a slower pace after those dates.
One year I got caught, I nearly had to cut back to the soil line as the outside bark even on the woody plants got damaged and sloughed off a couple of weeks later on some of them and those I did cut back to the soil line ( the roots were fine). The roots will not stand as long a freeze in pots as they would in the ground just because the get the temperature from the surface of the pots doing them in.
Thee are picks from the time I waited too long...click twice to enlarge image)
it's supposed to be in the forties at night for the next week or so except for saturday which is supposed to drop to 35. it was in the higher 30's a few days ago and they're still fine. i'll cover them saturday night and probably bring them in in about two weeks.
This is a very helpful thread! Could anyone tell me what is the best light requirement while dormant. I have 2 options in bringing inside, one would be an unheated basement, pretty dark except a few small basement windows, and one would be an unheated room in the house with north facing windows.
would dormancy be better darker or with a little more light?
As You can see form my pics of the little room I made - they are in complete darkness. I do have another spot where they get light from an aquarium. These ones tend to leaf out. It really is your choice. I do find that if they leaf out a bit - you can tell when they need a drink because the leaves wilt. Not saying this is the best method -just an observation.
Only ambient light gets into the winter house my Brugs stayed in at 50, the walls and ceiling were all insulated with pink insulation but it still was pretty bright, too bright for my liking.
( I did cover that small opening before bringing the Brugs in)
It could be totally dark and cause no issues as long as you are really, really careful to not give too much water and rot the roots.

Nov. 8, 1927.
L. URBAN PHONE PILLAH Filed AUBI. 15. 1924 lad/29km INVENTOR ATTORNEY ITNESS:
Patented Nov. 8, 1927.
UNITED STATES PATENT caries.
rnonn PILLAB.
This invention relates to ear cushions and has particular reference to an ear cushion for attachment to an acoustical instrument in the nature of a radio rpceiving head set or telephone receivers. f
The principal object of the invention 1s the provision of a device for relieving the pressure of the ear phones against the ears of the listener which pressure is objectionable after the ear phones have been in applied position upon the head for any great period of time.
Another object is to provide a cushion or pillow for the attachment to an ear phone which will seal the phone against the cars of the listener to exclude outside noises.
A further object of the invention is to provide a cushion which may be easily and quickly attached to an ear phone and which is cheap of manufacture.
With these and other objects in view, the invention resides in certain novel construction and combination and arrangement of parts, the essential features of which are hereinafter fully described, are particularly SEE-pointed out in the appended claim, and are illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in whichz- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention per se. 9
Figure 2 is a side elevation ofmy improved ear cushion shown applied to the ear phones of a radio receivim head set.
Figure 3 is an enlarged vertical sectional view through one of the ear phones with my inventionapplied thereto.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, the re erence'numeral 10 designates the ear phones of a. radio receiving set and on which my invention designated in its entirety as at 11, is adapted to be attached. wherein I have shown the device as app led to a pair of head phones, it is to be un erstood that the same could also be used upon telephone receivers.
My invention 11 comprises a felt disk 12 which may be of any suiteble'thickness and shape, but it has been found desirable to use felt of about one-eighth inch in thickness, and round in plan to correspond with the shape of the ear phone on which it is used. The felt disk 11 is provided centrally with en opening 13, whic opening is adapted to stitched to the disk 14 adjacent the said piece of material havin register with the opening in the cap of the ear phone to permit free passage of the sound waves from the diaphragm of the in strument. Attaching means 14 is carried by the disk 11 and comprises a disk of sheet, rubber 15 of a size corresponding to the periphery of the disk 14, and the same is riphery as at 16. The rubber disk 15 is ormed centrally thereof with an opening 17 of a diameter slightly lltrger than the opening 13, and adapted to be expanded to receive the head 1-8 of the ear phone as clearly shown in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawing.
In attaching the device to the ear phone, the walls of the opening 17 are expanded to pass over the head on the ear phone, and by reason of the normal tendency of the walls of the openings to contract the rubber disk will adapt itself about the bead, thereby secnrely holding the device in position with the felt disk 12 against the face of the instrument.
In use, it will be seen that by reason of the disk 11 being of felt, the same will provide a yieldable surface against the ear of i the listener and thereby relieving the pressure usually provided for keeping the instrument clamped in position. The device will also seal the instrument against the ears thereby excluding all unnecessa noises.
While I have described what? deem to be the most desirable embodiment of my inven- 35- tion, it is obvious that many of the detai may be varied without in any way departing from the spirit of my invention,
'and I therefor do not limit myself to the exact details of construction herein set so forth nor to tl-llylihllg less than the whole of my invention limit only by the appended claim.
What is claimed as new is An'ear cushion comprising a felt disk having an opening arran d centrally therein, and a piece of expansib e material stitched to said felt disk adjacent the periphery thereof, an opening the opening affixed my LADISLAUS URBAN.
formed in axial alignment wit 111 said felt disk.
In testimony whereof I have signature.

Porsha Stewart showed off her hot body on Instagram in a $2,990 Fendi Blue and White Knit Zebra Dress:
Her sleek scuba dress has a round neckline and cap sleeves.
Unfortunately the piece is sold out, but you can peruse other Fendi items at Fendi.com.
Are you feeling this look?
*According to RealityTVFashion.com, Bevy Smith also wore this dress on Fashion Queens:
I loved Bevy's shoe choice, but Porsha has that body
Nearly $3000 for a bodycon dress??? I'll pass. But Porsha looks great!
I wanna say Bevy…. But then you know I was lying….
Porsha look so fresh faced here. Over body con dresses, but she looks polished in that great print.
Gorgeous! Make that money, Porsha!
who the hell did her makeup?!! smfh got her looking ashy as hell
Portia looks like a drag queen and that dress might as well be 29.90 cause it's nothing special.
I also love how Bevy paired the yellow/mustard shoes with it!
Both of them look nice… but to me, Bevy's confidence to even rock this fitted dress, makes her the winner in my eyes.
bevy shoe color yes porsha more suited for the dress tho ijs
I think Porsha is gorgeous but her make up always looks too caked on. I wish her make up artist would try more fresh faced looks or no make up, make looks. On the the dress it looks great on her but for that price?? Not really…
Porscha is beat to the GAWDS!!!! Love the fresh spring makeup and hair hat! Bodycon or not…she is serving it!
