# Improvement and Development Agency for local government

The Improvement and Development Agency for local government (usually shortened to IDeA) is a legal entity within the Local Government Association responsible for providing improvement support to local authorities in England.

## Brief History

The body was formed in 1998 to work in partnership with all councils in England and Wales, to serve people and places better, to enhance the performance of the best local government authorities, accelerate the speed of improvement of the rest, and develop the sector as a whole. Improvement functions for Welsh councils passed to the Welsh Government on devolution.
It was renamed to "Local Government Improvement and Development" in July 2010 along with other members of the Local Government Group as part of the latter's 'Getting Closer' initiative. In 2012 the LGID "brand" was retired and the organisation's functions were delivered using the branding of the Local Government Association although the IDeA remains legally separate, with a separate Board.

## Funding

It is funded by way of an "improvement services grant" provided by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. This replaced a topsliced component of the previous Revenue Support Grant payment from the UK government. The IDeA remains legally separate from the rest of the LGA, which is a membership organisation for English councils, in order to provide assurance and accountability for services delivered under the grant.

# Teaching kit (museum)

A teaching kit is a teaching resource developed by a museum education department with to create cross-curricular learning. Such kits often include many resources, such as an educators' guide, a CD-ROM with works of art and primary sources (letters, maps, period photographs), overhead transparencies, posters, curricula, and step-by-step lesson plans. The projects are founded on the belief that art and material culture can be a valuable lens through which to study a historical moment.
As N. Elizabeth Schlatter, the author of Museum Careers: A Practical Guide for Students and Novices, explains, the role of museums is to make “a unique contribution to the public by collecting, preserving, and interpreting the things of this world."$^{:12}$ She notes how the scholar Stephen Weil has said that museums have changed their mission to educating the visitor rather than having a primary mission of object care.$^{:33}$ Out of this growing trend, Education Departments have become one of the most vital parts of the museum organization. They seek to bring the knowledge of the museum to the community through more public programs and programs designed to be used in traditional classroom curricula.
The Phillips Collection in Washington, DC, USA, is an example of a museum with a strong program of creating teaching kits. Their teaching kits focus on works of art and exhibitions at The Phillips Collection. The education department works with mentor teachers and advisors from schools. As they explain on their website, “arts education is a valuable window on subjects such as history, math, English, English as a second language, and geography.”
The New York Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Education Department has also created programs, workshops and printed and electronic resources for teachers to integrate art into their daily curricula. The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, NY, USA, has an extensive family education program as well. For their recent Georgia O'Keeffe: Abstraction show, family kits with flowers, colored pencils and a gallery guide were given at the coat check desk. Similarly for the 2010 Biennial a family guide is offered.
The US National Endowment for the Humanities has also contributed to this trend with a program called Picturing America, a set of forty, carefully selected works of art spanning several centuries—all by American painters, sculptors, photographers, and architects. NEH Chairman Bruce Cole said, “Picturing America helps us understand our democracy by bringing us face to face with the people, places, and events that have shaped our country. It provides an innovative way to experience America's history through our nation's art.” The NEH program includes a resource book, lesson plans, and large, high-quality reproductions of these images. According to their website, it can be used to enhance the study of American history, social studies, language arts, literature, and civics.
# Peace Queer

Peace Queer is an EP by the American musician Todd Snider, released in 2008. It was made available as a free download before it appeared in stores. The Riverfront Times labeled the EP "a don't-let-the-door-hit-you adios" to George W. Bush.
Snider supported Peace Queer with a North American tour. He made a 43-minute movie as a companion piece.

## Production

Snider considered the EP to be a political record, with the caveat that one shouldn't take political advice from a "stoner." Because the songs didn't fit in with Snider's typical songs, he considered simply throwing them away. The album cover is a photo of a masked Snider being held hostage by a hippie.
"Fortunate Son" is a cover of the John Fogerty song, with Patty Griffin providing backing vocals. "Mission Accomplished (Because You Gotta Have Faith)" is built on the musical structure of George Michael's "Faith" and incorporates Will Rogers's most famous saying. "Stuck on the Corner" is about a man driven insane by the materialism of his family. "The Ballad of Cape Henry" was cowritten with Will Kimbrough. "Is This Thing Working?" is an allegorical song about the victim of a high school bully.

The New Yorker wrote that Snider's "brilliant brand of rambling, homespun comedy is in fine form on the title track." The Independent deemed the EP "a gorgeously atmospheric experience, from its opening acoustic Bo Diddleyisms via its unaccompanied versifications to its blues." The Dallas Observer stated that "Snider has always incorporated wit and a leftist political bent into his folk/country, but about half of Peace Queer comes off as heavy-handed and predictable."
The Associated Press considered Peace Queer "more funny than angry but passionate, too." The Boston Herald opined that the only worthy track was "Stuck on the Corner". NPR determined that the tracks "are heavy on melody and metaphor, mixing politically and socially disgruntled themes while maintaining Snider's stinging wit."
AllMusic called the EP "a short and bittersweet gem, a rant that's funny enough to make the venom sting all the more and a cry of protest with joy and compassion in its heart."
# Indexation of contracts

In statistics relating to national economies, the indexation of contracts also called "index linking" and "contract escalation" is a procedure when a contract includes a periodic adjustment to the prices paid for the contract provisions based on the level of a nominated price index.

# Jonathan Seaver

Jonathan Charles Billing Pockerage Seaver (born 7 June 1855, date of death unknown) was an Irish-born Australian politician, engineer and surveyor.
He was born at Kingstown near Dublin, the eldest son of Thomas Seaver and arrived in Victoria around 1857. At sixteen he became a tutor and after an abortive attempt at a church career worked as an engineer and surveyor. He traveled widely, spending some time in Adelaide, where he married Mary Robinson née Abbott on 22 November 1880, before settling in Gloucester. In 1887 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the Free Trade member for Gloucester and retained the seat in 1889. In May 1891 four free traders, Seaver, George Reid, Jack Want and John Haynes, voted against the fifth Parkes Ministry in a motion of no confidence, which was only defeated by the casting vote of the Speaker. Whilst the government survived the motion, parliament was dissolved on 6 June 1891. Such was Seaver's animosity to Sir Henry Parkes, he did not contest Gloucester, but instead contested St Leonards, stating that his sole reason was opposing Parkes. His opposition was ineffective however as Parkes topped the poll, while Seaver finished a distant last.
Seaver left Sydney with his family on the R.M.S. Australia in August 1896 bound for London. Little is known about his subsequent life. It is possible that he died in Mexico in 1928 however this is not confirmed by a reliable source.
# James Barnett (MP)

He was re-elected for Rochester at a by-election on 27 June 1816 but his election was declared void on 26 February 1817 because the poll had been closed early. He was elected unopposed at the subsequent by-election< which was held on 6 March 1817 and held the seat until 1820, when he did not contest that year's general election.
Barnett died aged around 76. His wife was named Ann. Their eldest recorded son Charles James Barnett was a cricketer and politician.
# James Barnes (engineer)

James Barnes (ca. 1739 – 1819) was a canal and railway engineer in England and twice Mayor of Banbury.

## Career

In May 1786, Barnes was appointed Surveyor of the Works for the Oxford Canal Company at a salary of £50 per annum. His role was to engineer the completion of the Oxford Canal south from Banbury to Oxford which had been designed by Robert Whitworth. His contract was for completion of the canal by the start of 1791, but this was achieved one year early. By 1791 his salary had risen to £200 (equivalent to £30,400 in 2023). The success of the work with the Oxford Canal Company led an agreement with George Nugent-Temple-Grenville, 1st Marquess of Buckingham to survey a route from Braunston to London which resulted in the formation of the Grand Junction Canal. The plan was approved in 1792.
In 1799 he prepared plans for a route from the Leicestershire and Northamptonshire Union Canal to Braunston, but this was not proceeded with. In 1802 a revised plan was prepared with a route to Norton Junction, and following review by Thomas Telford this plan was approved and became the Grand Union Canal (old).
