Technology and system design key to NHS doing more with less
31 July 2017 Consultancy.uk 8 min. read
Moorhouse Consulting
A new report has recommended the NHS invests in responding to patients as "customers", as spending cuts, an ageing population and rising obesity place the institution under more strain than ever before.
Researchers at a British headquartered consultancy have warned that a range of converging crises are placing the National Health Service under greater pressure than ever before. In their annual Barometer on Change publication, the analysts of Moorhouse claimed that the number of people waiting longer than 26 weeks for an appointment has more than doubled since 2013, sky-rocketing from 45,000 to 92,000 in just three years.
Since 2012, Moorhouse has conducted an annual survey of senior leaders across both public and private sectors on the challenges they face in implementing change. Their findings draw together views from over 200 board members and the senior leaders that work most closely with them, from organisations across private and public sectors. Across all sectors, the 2017 Barometer found that leaders remained aggressively self-confident regarding their organisations growth expectations, with the number of respondents experiencing growth climbing by 26% from last year to hit 85%, in spite of the political and economic volatility in 2016. Meanwhile 79% of leaders cited their organisations as 'change embracing', showing that transformation is increasingly viewed as a necessary vehicle for growth.
One of the roots of this readiness across businesses to go through processes of continuous self-evaluation and regeneration was found to be the ever shape-shifting demands of the customer. 71% of leaders interviewed named customer demand as the most significant driver of changes to their organisations' products or services – with 80% of companies believing due to their innovative approaches, they deliver good customer service. Problematically, only 8% of customers surveyed meanwhile felt they received the service they expected. This perception gap is a growing concern for profit-oriented businesses particularly, given that 47% of customers also indicated they took their business to a competitor within a day of experiencing poor service.
However, public services do not have this mechanism for understanding public perception – and with a rapidly changing user-base, many captains of the public sector are finding it increasingly difficult to deliver the standard of service people would expect as customers, not just citizens. Particularly, the NHS is struggling to meet the expectations of a growing, ageing and increasingly demanding population, a predicament not aided by the announcement in January that the UK government will cut the Service's budget per person in real terms next year. Numbers released by ministers show NHS England will face a sharp reduction of 0.6% per head in the financial year 2018-19.
This latest round of funding cuts comes at a time when an ageing population recently saw dementia and Alzheimer's disease become the top causes of death in the UK for the first time, while almost 3 million people suffering from diabetes, linked to an increase in obesity of over 10% in both sexes. The UK also saw a staggering 16 million hospital admissions in 2014/15 alone, an increase of almost 4 million over the preceding decade, and The British Red Cross has meanwhile warned of a "humanitarian crisis" regarding waiting times at hospitals in particular, condemning current practices following the deaths of two patients after long waits on trolleys in hospital corridors of Worcestershire Royal in early 2017. These seismic shifts in patient demography mean NHS funds are likely to be spread thinner than ever before in the future, while the institution's leadership struggle to find new ways to do more with less.
As a result, the conclusions of Moorhouse's report particularly focus on advising public services, with special prominence afforded to the NHS, on how to respond to growing pressures within the public sector. The report states that, so dire is the current state of affairs, that for many leaders in public service provision, only a radical approach will be able to tackle the increasingly demanding patients of the health sector.
Broadly, researchers state three fields through which to frame all institutional strategies for both public and private organisations. Innovation, through which organisations can leverage game-changing products and services to create a customer-centric experience. Secondly organisational leaders should be ready to collaborate, in order to best implement these innovations. Finally, organisations are advised to engage with staff and customers in order to gear these changes toward the people who they will most directly impact. In the case of health care providers, Moorhouse recommend applying these three pillars to system design, value creation and the use of technology.
Through designing services as a system, researchers believe leaders in the sector can rebalance resources while restructuring health care to cope with new issues, for example, focusing on campaigns of prevention to help stabilise existing services in the long-term by reducing future demand – particularly in the realms of the aforementioned obesity epidemic, or integrating proactive health-checks into other areas of business, such as housing associations to catch outbreaks of disease early, minimising the strain they can thereby put on the NHS. Once space has been freed in this manner, emboldened system designs tactics can look into tailoring services to match services to different patient segments in order to address the disparate needs and expectations of an increasingly diverse age-range of patients.
While it will probably not be intuitive for a not-for-profit state service like the NHS, another potential avenue for leaders in the sector to consider is making "value" part of the equation. By ensuring hospitals make staff and patients aware of what services cost, while drawing staff around key issues that may involve those figures, leaders in the sector could open themselves up to valuable input on how to save costs according to localised patient analysis, while improving engagement from their employees.
Above all else though, the use of technology is at the heart of health solutions that match patient demand and customer expectations. The legacy computing infrastructure of the NHS recently came under fire after patient records were compromised by the global WannaCry hacks earlier in 2017, however the need for digital innovation to cope with growing demand goes much further. According to Mustafa Suleyman, founder of Deep Mind, a firm specialising in apps to organise patients medical records, who is cited in the report, "Doctors and nurses in the NHS do a phenomenal job caring for patients, but they're being badly let down by technology. Pagers, fax machines and paper records are still standard in most NHS hospitals."
By properly harnessing new technology, hospitals could harness the 'big data' and the power of population health analytics, and use the information to project where resources are most needed, or even where prevention would be most effective, lightening the load on the medical infrastructure by decreasing patient numbers. The NHS reportedly spent £640 million on consultants in 2014 alone, in a 'cost saving' exercise as the institution bid to access such analysis on where resources were best used, however the appropriate use of technology in this instance could all but eliminate such a cost.
According to the authors of the report, "This year's Barometer on Change has exposed a growing need to meet increasing customer expectations in a challenging business environment. Customers expect more. And firms are struggling to access the skills and capabilities to meet their demands. For many, only a radical shift in their business models will create the environment to compete in this customer driven market. Therefore, whether tackling increasingly demanding patients in the health sector or responding to disgruntled passengers in a crowded transport sector a bold approach is required."

Inaugural Regional SportAccord wraps in Fort Lauderdale
President Chiulli (left) with Laura and Roberto Balestrini
The first Regional SportAccord concluded in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, after three days of discussion, debate and high-profile networking. More than 100 leading sports – including FootGolf – officials and executives attended the first ever Regional SportAccord, with the overall theme looking at "A United Approach to the International Sport Landscape in the Americas."
GAISF played an important part in the panel discussions, with GAISF President Raffaele Chiulli talking about sports governance and the role of International Federations (IFs) adapting to change.
"Over the last 30 years in particular, we have seen a massive change in commercial potential and a massive professionalisation of sport." President Chiulli said.
"One important thing to understand is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. After all, GAISF's membership goes from organisations the size of FIFA all the way to those with only a few full-time employees. But it is very important to constantly ask if it is possible to do more."
GAISF Director Philippe Gueisbuhler also took to the stage during the panel session on the emergence of esports and spoke about the challenges and opportunities for traditional sport.
"This train is already on the move, it is not a question of stopping esports," Gueisbuhler said. "It is there and will continue to grow, our kids and young people are on board and all we can do is try to bring it in the right direction.
IF leaders were influential throughout the event, speaking on key subjects such as the social responsibility of sports stakeholders, knowledge transfer, safeguarding athletes, rebranding and transforming host cities.
Olympians Willie Banks and Nadia Comaneci also gave the athletes' perspective on the subjects of anti-doping and athlete protection.
As well as the conference programme, Regional SportAccord also featured an exhibition and specific networking events. The programme finished with workshop on the needs of Pan American National Olympic Committees and how IFs could reach these nations.
Following the event, President Chiulli said:
"I was very happy to see International Federations and sports stakeholders from completely different backgrounds coming together and sharing ideas here in Florida. This is the very foundation of what SportAccord is, and I believe we have seen many bridges built which will help to further the role of sport here in the Americas and around the world."
Attending for the Federation for International FootGolf was Laura Balestrini, current member of the FIFG Board and FIFG Global Director of Membership, and was also invited Roberto Balestrini, the 4th President of the FIFG.
During the conference, the opportunity was given to the FIFG representatives to meet with Dr. Raffaele Chiulli, the President of GAISF and Phillippe Gueisbuhler, Director of GAISF. A direct meeting with Director Gueisbuhler was scheduled to review and confirm the requirements for the FIFG and particularly, what is needed from its member countries. He responded to all of the questions, shared ideas and provided a series of recommendations to achieve the goals with GAISF.
Director Gueisbuhler spent time with FIFG representatives
FIFG has an observer status at GAISF. To reach full membership, the main task – as member countries under the FIFG – will be to meet the requirements of the highests National Sports Authorities or the top Governing Body of Sports in their countries to gain full recognition and certification as an official sport, nationally.
"We left with overwhelming urgency to start the work that is needed, but feel it is an accomplishment we can do if we work together. Each FIFG member will need to gain recognition by the highest sports authority in their country, either from the government or National Olympic Committee. The FIFG will be there to educate the members and walk with them through the process. We are going to work with the presidents of countries who really want to work with us and get it done properly and on time. Otherwise we will be wasting incredibly valuable time that we can't afford or take a chance to fail. It is not too easy but not too late! Either the leadership of our FIFG member countries are 100 percent "in" and we all succeed, or we don't do what needs to be done and FootGolf will continue its path but just as a fun game, not as an official sport. Our main goal for the next two years is to have 40 FIFG members where FootGolf is recognised as an official sport in their country. We can also work and discuss about competitions and all other topics but, this should be the number one priority in each country and as the Director of Membership of the FIFG, I plan to dedicate my attention and efforts to this task. I invite all the presidents of the FIFG member countries to connect with the Board as soon as possible to review their status at national level and decide if they are going to commit and get it done or not." says Laura Balestrini.
Members of the Board of Directors and also volunteers who are familiar with the process, will start to reach out to each member to help them identify this within their country in order to start the process for recognition. "It may not be easy and certainly an intense task from each of us, but the final result is the reason all of us started with FootGolf. Let's work together and help each other reach the dream of full membership of GAISF where FootGolf is recognized as a global sport and then move towards making FootGolf an Olympic sport!" she added.

After welcoming Frederic Gabillon at the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières in August, Canadian driver/owner and Spectra Premium ambassador Jean-Francois Dumoulin is about to cross the Atlantic and make his Euro NASCAR debut this weekend at the historic Circuit Zolder, in Belgium.
Dumoulin will drive the #04 Spectra Premium Toyota Camry fielded by RDV Competition to complete the first ever driver exchange between International NASCAR series that Euro NASCAR created with Dumoulin Competition and Spectra Premium to provide yet another opportunity for NWES drivers and promote Spectra Premium's hi-performance radiators on the European market.
At RDV Competition, Dumoulin will drive both the ELITE 1 and ELITE 2 Division and complete a stellar lineup for the French team together with Frederic Gabillon and NASCAR legend Bobby Labonte.
"I was very happy to have Fred with us during the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières and meet Franck, Team Owner of RDV Competition. To be part of that team, with Fred Gabillon and Bobby Labonte, is an honor for me. Franck has been a really good help to put a good program for me and he knows that I will do everything I can to perform well on track," said Dumoulin.
Zolder will not be the first race outside North America for Dumoulin, who can count on a vast experience in Touring Cars and Endurance Racing alongside NASCAR. The 42-year old Trois-Rivières native won the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2004 and 2007 in two different categories and is among the veterans of the Canadian NASCAR Series having competed in it since its inception in 2007.
Dumoulin is coming to Zolder after his brother Louis Philippe won the first Canadian NASCAR title for Dumoulin Competition, the team they co-own since two years. L.P.'s title was the second of his NASCAR career.
The European campaign for Jean François Dumoulin will start with a visit to the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series headquarters at Blois and RDV Competition's shop at Chartres in France at the beginning of the week. The team will the move to Belgium, where Dumoulin will take part in the traditional parade in downtown Zolder on Thursday. The Trois-Rivières native will get down to business on Friday with practice, followed by four exciting 16-lap races during the weekend.
"I think that with the amount of track time that the European Series have compared to ours, I should be able to get up to the speed quickly and learn the car and feel the difference with what I'm used to. Obviously, we will see all of that pretty soon!" concluded Dumoulin.
The NASCAR Whelen Euro Series weekend from Circuit Zolder will be streamed live on Fanschoice.tv, the EuroNASCAR Facebook page and Youtube Channel, the EuroNASCAR Twitter account, Motorsport.tv and a vast network of websites and social media profiles.

Located in the south of Kyûshû Island, Yakushima is mainly composed of a vast primary forest, where time stopped its course and where man's presence means little things in regards to nature's immensity. As a privileged shelter for thousands of sika deers and japanese macaques, house of thousands years old cedars, this place is fascinating and inspiring.
The surreal and mystic atmosphere of the place inspired Japanese drawer and director Hayao Miyazaki his works Nausicaä - an ecological fable - and Princess Mononoke, which depicts the complex relation between forests spirits and humans in a medieval Japan.

"It doesn't take a team of experts at Harvard University to reveal what you already know: Most of the nation's largest and most influential news outlets do not support President Donald Trump. But just how negative is the media coverage? That's the question a new study by Harvard Kennedy School's Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy attempts to answer, and the results are truly remarkable.
The study analyzed print news reports about Trump during his first 100 days in office appearing in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. It also examined the newscasts produced by CBS, CNN, Fox News, NBC, the Financial Times, BBC and Germany's ARD.
By comparison, Bill Clinton's news coverage during his first 100 days was 60 percent negative, George W. Bush's was 57 percent negative and Obama's coverage was nearly three times more positive than Trump. According to Patterson, 59 percent of Obama's coverage was positive in his first 100 days, while only 20 percent of Trump's coverage was positive.
Among the news outlets examined, not one provided more positive coverage than negative coverage. Unsurprisingly, Fox News was the closest; 52 percent of its coverage of Trump was negative, and 48 percent was positive, suggesting the network's "fair and balanced" slogan may be more accurate than is often alleged.
Ninety percent or more of the coverage at CNN, NBC and CBS was determined to be negative. The coverage by the New York Times and Washington Post was 80 percent negative or higher. Even the Wall Street Journal, which is considered to lean conservative, was determined to provide coverage of Trump that was 70 percent negative.
One unexpected finding from the study is that BBC's coverage was 74 percent negative, lower than many of the top American news outlets.
Patterson wrote in the study Trump's "best" week came when he ordered a cruise-missile strike on a Syrian airbase in retaliation against that government's use of nerve gas.


Rarely have so few imposed such damage on so many. When five conservative members of the Supreme Court handed for-profit corporations the right to secretly flood political campaigns with tidal waves of cash on the eve of an election, they moved America closer to outright plutocracy, where political power derived from wealth is devoted to the protection of wealth . . ..
The decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission giving "artificial entities" the same rights of "free speech" as living, breathing human beings will likely prove as infamous as the Dred Scott ruling of 1857 that opened the unsettled territories of the United States to slavery whether future inhabitants wanted it or not. It took a civil war and another hundred years of enforced segregation and deprivation before the effects of that ruling were finally exorcised from our laws. God spare us civil strife over the pernicious consequences of Citizens United, but unless citizens stand their ground, America will divide even more swiftly into winners and losers with little pity for the latter. Citizens United is but the latest battle in the class war waged for thirty years from the top down by the corporate and political right. Instead of creating a fair and level playing field for all, government would become the agent of the powerful and privileged. Public institutions, laws, and regulations, as well as the ideas, norms, and beliefs that aimed to protect the common good and helped create America's iconic middle class, would become increasingly vulnerable. . . . .

Seldom does a wastewater treatment plant see exactly the same flows or loadings throughout its lifetime or even during various parts of a week or year. Whether from tourism, storm water infiltration/flows, industry, growth or other issues, flows and loads vary at many facilities. This is where Aero-Fac® and Accel-o-fac® really shine. Aero-Fac® and Accel-o-fac® can be designed to automatically accommodate anywhere from zero flows up to almost unlimited flows — all unattended. Shock or spike loads have little effect under most any circumstances. This makes Aero-Fac® and Accel-o-fac® ideal for tourism areas, developments with planned growth, areas with large storm water fluctuations or industrial users.


FOXBORO – For those keeping track, Jason Sehorn at long last returns tonight, after missing the entire 1998 season and the first two games of this season. Another comeback is also set, as the Giants, after mystifying themselves and their followers by taking a non-scheduled bye week last Sunday, attempt a collective return to competitive, winning football.
The Giants, non-competitive and non-winners in a 50-21 no-show effort against the Redskins, welcome back Sehorn with the same open arms that allowed so many Washington ball-carriers to escape their clutches. Rarely has a team sought so much retribution so early in a season, but for the Giants, credibility is a huge issue when, under the glare of the national spotlight at Foxboro Stadium, they face a Patriots club that is unbeaten despite living dangerously.
It wasn't long ago that the Giants (1-1) were eager to show the league how much they've improved, but a 29-point setback in your home opener does funny things to alter perceptions.
How good are the Giants? No one knows for sure. How bad are they? Presumably, not as bad as they looked getting pounded by the Redskins.
It made complete sense that it was a fairly tense week around the Giants. Players were advised by Jim Fassel to be careful what they said to the media after what he felt was a fabricated mini-disagreement between himself and Michael Strahan. The usually pleasant Fassel was cordial but snappish, loudly shouting admonishment and encouragement during practice.
What happened in the recent past disgusted and humbled the Giants, who rarely have been so completely whipped on both sides of the ball as they were in the first half against the Skins.
The only good to come out of the debacle is if the Patriots take the bait and view the Giants as a soft touch. No matter how forcefully a coach attempts to build up an opponent, the tapes don't lie, and players form their impressions based on what they see.
Fassel said there are times when he edits tape because he doesn't want his team growing overconfident watching and re-watching the struggles of the upcoming opponent.
"You don't want them looking at it," Fassel said.
There would have been a whole lot of editing if Pats coach Pete Carroll wanted to delete everything the Giants did wrong last week.
The Patriots have been both cardiac and comeback kids, beating the Jets and Colts on last-minute field goals, last week erasing a 28-7 halftime deficit, as Drew Bledsoe shredded the Indianapolis defense (17 of 26, 178 yards, 3 TDs) in the second half.

It has long been a grand temptation to use simple word frequency* counts to judge a person's mental state. Like Freudian Slips, there is an assumption that this will give us a glimpse into what a person "really" believes and feels, deep inside. This trend came and went within linguistics when digital corpora were first being compiled and analyzed several decades ago. Linguists quickly realized that this was, in fact, a bogus methodology when they discovered that many (most) claims or hypotheses based solely on a person's simple word frequency data were easily refuted upon deeper inspection. Nonetheless, the message of the weakness of this technique never quite reached the outside world and word counts continue to be cited, even by reputable people, as a window into the mind of an individual. Geoff Nunberg recently railed against the practice here: The I's Dont Have It.
To investigate, we'll compare the President's speech to the State of the Union addresses delivered by each president since John F. Kennedy in 1962 in advance of their respective midterm elections. We'll also look at the address that Obama delivered -- not technically a State of the Union -- to the Congress in February, 2009. I've highlighted a total of about 70 buzzwords from these speeches, which are broken down into six categories. The numbers you see below reflect the number of times that each President used term in his State of the Union address.
We don't know what causes word frequencies.
We don't know what the effects of word frequencies are.
Silver invented categories that have no cognitive reality.
Why does a person use one word more than another? WE. DON'T. KNOW. I understand the simple intuition that this should mean something, but no one actually knows what it means. We simply don't understand the workings of the brain well enough to study the speech production system well enough to answer this question (despite these guys' suspect claims). So we are left with pure intuition (which is generally bad in the cognitive sciences because we don't think the way we think we do). So, again, this methodology is not "objective" as Silver claims (not the simplistic way he implemented it, anyway).
The correlate to #1: When a person hears another person use one word more than another, what effect does it have? WE. DON'T. KNOW. Same reasons as above. This remains the realm of intuition and guesswork.
While I understand that to the lay person, the set of SOTU speeches seems like a coherent category to analyze, it is in fact a linguistically incoherent grouping because these sorts of speeches are constructed slowly, painfully, over time, by teams of individuals, NOT spoken extemporaneously by a single individual. Silver could spin this as a positive in the sense that the speeches represent presidential administrations as a whole, but this makes the "evidence" (i.e., word frequency) extremely messy. What factor is driving the frequency of a particular word in a speech? No clue. The variables are numerous and unknown (two bad things for "rigorous" analysis). Having such a messy data set makes interpretation nearly impossible even if we DID know the answers to #1 and #2 (which we don't).
Silver's 70 buzzwords are shoved into six arbitrary categories. Linguists have bee keen on word categories for ... well ... let's say at least 2500 years. This we care about. Deeply. William Labov famously wrote, "If linguistics can be said to be any one thing it is the study of categories" (full text here). More recently, in the last few decades, linguists have expanded their repertoire of tools for analyzing lexical categories using psycholinguistic, cognitive linguistic, and computational linguistic tools and methods. None of these were employed by Silver in determining whether or not his six categories have any coherence or cognitive reality. He just made them up. How is this MORE objective than intuition?
Let me be clear. I am a fan of corpus linguistics. Counting words is good (as Nunberg says, and as many linguists say. We like this). But this is just the beginning of a long road of analysis. It must be done in a systematic and sophisticated way to be of any use. There are numerous software tools and methodologies that Silver could have made use of that would have given him a more nuanced analysis. There are whole books that teach people how to do this, such as Corpora in Cognitive Linguistics (just one of many).
Again, I have a lot of respect for Silver and his advanced skill set in stats. I would love to see Silver bring the full weight of his skills to bear on linguist analysis (as I've said, every linguist should study math and stats), but this experiment falls far short of the mark and he should know better.
To a certain extent, this critique is unfair to Silver because he implicitly seemed to be acknowledging many of these deficits. All he wanted to do was get a more objective picture of what the SOTU speech meant and how it fits into a bigger picture. On the other hand, it's a fair critique because he put in a lot of effort and posted the results to his popular and influential blog (yes, I note my blog is neither); one ought not to waste such effort. There is the glaringly negative possibility that his popularity and influence as a statistician will actually serve to further strengthen the popular but wrong notion that simple word counts are somehow meaningful. This would be bad.
*By "simple word frequency counts" I mean counting the words a person uses (say, in a speech) without counting anything else or adding any other data to give the frequency counts meaning and context.
Nice analysis. Unfourtunately we read or meet people with this simplistic view of the language, not to count the simplistic statistical tool-use.
Can you give me any advise with a good methodology for analyzing text with also a good statistical approach?

Hello everyone! My name is Kali and I made this blog challenge. But I don't see why I couldn't participate too so here we go. I'm 21 and have been diagnosed with 12 different chronic illnesses. I am currently taking online college courses to become a Pharmacy Technician as well. I'm also a member of the Chronic Illness Bloggers network. I have been blogging with them for almost a year now, but I've been blogging seriously for several years now. Though I have run into problems with getting hacked, so that's why my blog is sparse currently. But I am in the process of building it back up again.
Out of the 12 chronic illnesses I have, three of the illnesses are rare and one of those is Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. This type of EDS mainly revolves around having unstable joints that also have a wider range of motion than the average persons joints. I also sublux and dislocate joints on a daily basis and that results in severe, chronic joint pain. Here are some examples of hypermobile joints.
But because my collage is synthesized correctly it means my body isn't held together well. Collagen is basically the glue that holds you together, think of it as the average person is held together with gorilla glue and people with EDS are held together with cheap packing tape. In addition to dislocating joints my skin is stretchy like a piece of bubble gum. My type of EDS is also considered the 'most common' of the 13 types of EDS.
You can read about all the different types of EDS here.
I also go in depth about EDS in this blog post.

Keeping the Heartbeat of the Drum Beating
St. Joseph's Indian School's drum group, the Chalk Hills Singers, honor their ancestors with song.
The St. Joseph's Indian School gym is typically one of the last places described as quiet. It is home to bouncing basketballs, cheering crowds and blaring buzzers. But early on Saturday mornings, when the balls are put away, the cheering crowds have gone home and the buzzers cease, there is a stillness – a quiet.
If you pause and listen closely, the only sound you might hear is your own heartbeat drumming within your chest.
But then, enter the St. Joseph's Chalk Hills Singers, and that drumming from within escapes boldly through the beating of the drum and singing of Lakota songs.
The Chalk Hills Singers is the St. Joseph's Indian School drum group.
"It's nice and quiet in there so we can make as much noise as we want," said Mark, the leader of the drum group.
There is a deeper meaning behind the drum practice – one that helps students connect with the other members, but also with their ancestors.
"The drum group is important for these boys," said Mark. "The drum is the center of the community. When you are a part of the drum, you are part of your community."
And it's what Mark has been helping young men at St. Joseph's, grades 4th and up, learn since the group was first created nearly a decade ago.
Drum group members perform at various campus events throughout the year, and are sometimes invited to play at ceremonies outside of school.
Knowing not every young man at St. Joseph's has access to learn how to drum and sing Lakota songs in their homes, the Chalk Hills Singers fill a very important need to teach Lakota boys this valuable skill.
The Chalk Hills Singers perform multiple times throughout the year. Some of those venues include the St. Joseph's annual powwow, the Chamberlain High School powwow and at memorial services. They also sing the Flag Song every morning over the school announcement speaker and at home sporting events.
Performing for others is an honor, said Wally, a member of the Chalk Hills Singers.
"We sing for our ancestors and our school," he said. "It makes me feel really good."
Opportunities like this build confidence in the young men, like Wally, who participate.
"I feel comfortable and I can get my voice out," said Wally. "I don't have to worry about being shy or anything in front of others."
It's Mark's – and St. Joseph's Indian School's – hope that as the boys grow-up and choose their own paths as adults, they'll take these lessons with them. We hope they will teach others the drum is more than a musical instrument, but the heartbeat of their Native American people – a heartbeat that must continue.
Author: St. Joseph's Indian School
At St. Joseph's Indian School, our privately-funded programs for Lakota (Sioux) children in need have evolved over 90 years of family partnership, experience and education. Because of generous friends who share tax-deductible donations, Native American youth receive a safe, stable home life; individual counseling and guidance; carefully planned curriculum based on Lakota culture and individual student needs and tools to help build confidence, boost self-esteem and improve cultural awareness. All of this helps children to live a bright, productive, possibility-filled future.	View all posts by St. Joseph's Indian School

Warms my heart that these young men are learning more than how to drum. They are learning about themselves and their ancestors.
St. Joseph's Indian School says:
Exactly, Sharon! Thanks for reading!
Linda Hancock says:
Thank you for sharing this and other stories about the meanings of tribal culture. Bless Saint Joseph's for teaching and keeping traditions alive.
It's our pleasure, Linda. Thanks for reading!
Paul Beeston says:
It is wonderful to see the children learning the sacred songs and drumming as their ancestors always have. Growing sage and all the other essential traditional ways that were so nearly lost is a must for the generations to come. Thank you St Joseph's for giving the children of the future this chance to thrive and be happy again. Many Blessings to all the Beautiful Children , their families and all the Staff .
Lots of Love from Our Family in the UK XXXX

Thank you so much, Paul! That you for reading and sharing your kind words with us.
Judy Starkey-Saylor says:
We really wanted to hear the drum group but couldn't find a video. Would love to hear the kids drum and sing their songs. Do you have CD's of this group available for purchase?
Hi Judy! We do not have a CD, but that is a great idea we will pass on. You can hear the boys sing the Lakota Flag Song here: http://www.stjo.org/flagsong

Funcom is the worst thing that happened to Conan. I wish they made a good game where you actually play him. The PS3/360 God Of War clone was average but at least it went the right direction.
His universe is nice to explore but this begin to feel like strapping the Conan name on every game they make just to milk the fans... MMO, RTS, Survival? They are the last genres i think of when i think about Conan.
Give me playable Conan in an action game. Give the franchise to Cd Projekt.
Last good Conan game was Conan: The Dark Axe. It was made with a lot of respect and understanding of Howard's books. I wouldn't call it a timeless classic but it was really fun to play.
Funcom should look at new God of War, how the figure of Conan could mature and how to make an adequate game for franchise with such potential.
