Recipe by Katie Mae
Makes 4 servings | Ready in 5 minutes | Stores 10 days in fridge
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup tamari (I prefer low-sodium and gluten-free)
- 6 Medjool dates, pitted
- ½–inch piece of fresh ginger
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Feel free to add more water if you want a thinner consistency.
The Japanese word "teriyaki" actually refers to the cooking method of grilling or roasted meat coated in a sweet and salty glaze. The sauce that has become very popular for marinating such grilled meats became known as "teriyaki sauce." The sauce was likely developed in Hawaii by early Japanese immigrants, who blended pineapple juice and soy sauce to create a flavorful marinade.
Today, teriyaki sauce is made of three main ingredients: soy sauce, mirin or sake (rice wine), and sugar. Ginger, garlic, and a thickener, such as cornstarch, are also common additions.
In this healthier, sugar-free version of teriyaki sauce, we use our favorite whole food sweetener: dates instead of the refined sugar. Most people won't be able to notice the difference—this recipe tastes just like a store-bought Teriyaki.
And those who can taste a difference will probably appreciate how the Plantz St. teriyaki sauce has a bold sweetness, but it's not overwhelming. There's also the garlic and ginger that add more depth of flavor and bit of zing!
Another switch we made was to use tamari instead of soy sauce. It's very similar, but it's a little thicker, has slightly less sodium, and is usually made without wheat. (For a gluten-free tamari, you need to choose one that says gluten-free on the label.)
For many foodies, tamari, Bragg's liquid aminos, or coconut aminos are preferred over soy sauce, but don't this fool you!
These are all sodium-rich condiments. Although the sodium level of liquid aminos is about a third of the amount in tamari, the serving size is also a third of the size! This means the sodium levels are not significantly different.
You are bound to have too much salt in your diet when you're using any one of these in your cooking regularly. Options labeled as low-sodium do have less, but people tend to use more per serving, so that's something to watch for.
If you do cook with tamari or something similar, I recommend keeping it to no more than a couple times per week and in minimal amounts. I probably have it once a month when eating out, but in my kitchen, I use it more like every few months.
If you're someone who is triggered by salty foods, and tamari leads to overeating and cravings, then I encourage you to avoid it all together. If you want to just use less of the tamari, you can do that too. Just add a bit more water or salt-free vegetable broth instead.
The flavor of this teriyaki sauce stays true to the original, if not better! Salty, sweet and tangy, it's sure to please any teriyaki lover.
It goes great with Asian-inspired dishes, like this Teriyaki Tempeh with Cruciferous Veggies. It also makes a sassy condiment on veggie burgers, stir-fries, or simple steamed veggies!

African press review 21 January 2017
Issued on: Modified:
Mystery surrounds the whereabouts of Gambia's former president Yahya Jammeh, who now says he accepts the results of last month's poll. Why has the Ugandan parliament suspended its investigation into the Kasese killings? And what has South Africa's finance minister done now?
Where is Yahya Jammeh?
That's the question posed by the top story in this morning's regional paper the East African.
According to the daily, a motorcade carrying a delegation of west African leaders left Gambia's presidential residence yesterday. The delegation had been trying to convince Jammeh, who lost last December's presidential poll, to step down and go into exile.
It was not immediately clear if Jammeh was aboard one of the two dozen vehicles seen leaving the compound.
According to the same report, Adama Barrow, who was sworn in as president in neighbouring Senegal on Thursday, has hinted that he may be on the point of leaving Dakar to return home.
Kasese killings probe collapses
The Ugandan parliamentary probe into the Kasese killings has collapsed. This is the main story in the Kampala-based Daily Monitor.
Parliament's Defence and Internal Affairs Committee yesterday called off the investigations into the violence in Rwenzori area that claimed the lives of more than 100 civilians and security personnel last month.
Committee chairperson Judith Nabakooba confirmed the suspension of the probe but denied claims that she had been influenced by President Yoweri Museveni.
A source on the committee had alleged that the president was concerned about what the committee would do with its report in the face of the ongoing criminal trial and investigations by security agencies.
Millions of Somalis face food and water shortages
Drought has left hundreds of thousands of Somalis facing severe food and water shortages.
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, five million people - 40 percent of the Somali population - are in need of humanitarian assistance while more than 1.1 million of these in the "crisis" and "emergency" categories.
Gordhan versus the Gupta family
South Africa's Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan is back on the front page of BusinessDay, this time because of his legal row with the rich and influential Gupta family.
Yesterday, lawyers for the Guptas answered a court action brought by the minister, accusing him of using the judiciary to settle political scores.
Last October Gordhan applied for an order confirming that he could not intervene in a dispute between the family's Oakbay Investments and four major banks that closed the company's accounts.
Gordhan's application contained details about "suspicious" bank transactions by Gupta-owned companies totalling almost seven billion rand' a revelation which BusinessDay suggests could have contributed to the banks closing accounts belonging to the Guptas.
In its affidavit, Oakbay claimed "sources" had revealed that Gordhan told a group of South African businessmen that steps had to be taken to "clip the wings" of the Gupta family.
Oakbay accuses the minister of politically motivated interference, claiming that it is part of the Gordhan's ongoing plan to diminish the Oakbay Group and the Gupta family.
Second Darfur rebel group to sign Doha peace deal
The Sudanese government and Darfur rebel group, the Sudan Liberation Movement (Second Revolution), will sign a peace agreement in the Qatari capital, Doha next week according to a report in this morning's Sudan Tribune.
Qatar brokered the Darfur peace negotiations, which resulted in the signing of the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur by the Sudanese government and the Liberation and Justice Movement in July 2011. However, the major rebel groups didn't join the deal.
Next week's deal will mean that the Sudan Liberation Movement now joins the original Doha agreement, including clauses on security arrangements, the voluntary return of internally displaced persons and power sharing.
Three rebel movements continue to reject the Doha document.

Damaged means that we have suffered some sort of pain. A type of pain that has not destroyed us completely but left part of us wounded. Wounded in a way that will ensure the scars will forever be visible to us. When we look at ourselves, we tend to see more that's damaged then we see good. Being labeled damaged also suggests that the part of us that experiences pain may never be fixed. Parts of us may never work the same. The rhythm of our heart remains the same but due to trauma it struggles accepting love like it did when it was brand new. It is damaged in a way that it cannot be repaired. Although our hearts are not normal, they still want to feel love.
Damaged things have value and as long as there is some value in us then we are good. In spite of what the world thinks of us, we are good because we refuse to let the word 'damaged' consume us. We are good because no matter how bad the damage hurts, we refuse to give up. A car with a dent in the hood can still be driven. A bruised apple can still be eaten. A dull pencil can be sharpened. A flat tire can be patched. A torn piece of paper can still be written on. These items may never be what they used to be, but they still have value. These items are not in their original form, but they can still serve a purpose and be used to make a difference. There is no doubt they are damaged but they are also good. We are damaged and yet we are good.
Like the dented car, we have been hit leaving visible scars on our bodies. We are like the apple because we have been physically bruised by people who should've protected us. We are like the pencil as our spirits have been broken. We resemble the flat tire as the patch in the center of our chest proves we once had a hole in our heart. We associate with the torn piece of paper as many see us as stupid and not worth writing on. We cannot deny that we are damaged, but we are good. It may take a long time, but we will learn to love again. We cannot ignore what has happened, but if we are given a second chance maybe we can make a difference in this world.
I too am damaged goods, but now I am sharing my story in hopes that others like me see past the damage and recognize the good inside of themselves. My name is Alton Carter and I am Damaged Goods.

Creating a new RESP account at Questrade - step-by-step
These are how I created a new RESP account. I scanned all the documents I had to fill out and mail to make it easier for me to create another account for my other kid (we have two individual plans).
It should take about 1 week to fully create the account but in my case it much took longer because 1) I was lazy 2) we left for vacation in the middle of all this and 3) because I made a mistake on one form and had to correct it.
- Use Questrade's online account creation tool to prepare the new account
- Print, sign and mail all the documents
- Fund the account
The first part - Questrade's online account creation tool - is easy to use and it validates all your details before you can continue to the next screen. There are 8 steps you need to do out before it will give you the documents to sign and mail - here are the 8 steps:
Once you go through these steps you will see the following status screen on the main "myQuestrade" page:
Please note that the document #3 listed on the status page called "Canadian education savings grant (non custodial)" is actually a Government of Canada form that was not included in the documents downloaded from Questrade, I got it from the support team. The form can be found at www.esdc.gc.ca (direct PDF link).
The 3 documents I signed and mailed are:
1) Statement of Acceptance (3 pages)
2) RESP single beneficiary plan application (3 pages)
3) Basic and Additional Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) and Canada Learning Bond (CLB) (4 pages)
Two valid IDs - driver's licences (one for each parent) were uploaded using the website. All other forms were mailed together to:
Questrade Inc.
North American Center
5650 Yonge Street, Suite 1700
Toronto, ON M2M 4G3
2015-07-07 - Application filled out online
2015-07-10 - Signed
2015-07-11 - Mailed forms at 5 PM, uploaded pictures of 2 driver's licences at 10 PM
2015-07-14 - Status page updated, some documents checked off but not all, still incomplete. Vacation starts
2015-07-26 - Back from vacation, problem with CESG grant form, chat with Questrade
2015-07-30 - Mailed fixed form before noon
2015-07-31 - Received email "Fund your account to put it into action" - they must have already received the new form and everything is good
2015-08-01 - Added the new RESP account to CIBC banking as payee, put $1000 (minimum funding amount) into RESP
2015-08-02 - Received email from Questrade at 9PM - new account created. Not visible in my list of accounts when I logged in though...
2015-08-03 - RESP visible under account list. Account creation is finished.
Problems I had
1) On page #1 of CESG grant form - I put both parents as "Primary caregiver" when according to the government only one can be primary.
The fix was to leave one parent as primary - YES, and one as primary - NO.
I had to mail this (corrected) form again.
2) I'm not quite sure I got the two dates ("Date Contibutions Must End" and "Date Plan Must Terminate") on page #3 of the application correct but nobody complained so hopefully it's good. The formula I used was current date +31 years and then current date +35 years.
- Statement of Acceptance (3 pages)
- RESP single beneficiary plan application (3 pages)
- Basic and Additional Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) and Canada Learning Bond (CLB) (4 pages)

The Manhunt – Simon Armitage
After the first phase,
after passionate nights and intimate days,
only then would he let me trace
the frozen river which ran through his face,
only then would he let me explore
the blown hinge of his lower jaw,
and handle and hold
the damaged, porcelain collar-bone,
and mind and attend
the fractured rudder of shoulder-blade,
and finger and thumb
the parachute silk of his punctured lung.
Only then could I bind the struts
and climb the rungs of his broken ribs,
and feel the hurt
of his grazed heart.
Skirting along,
only then could I picture the scan,
the foetus of metal beneath his chest
where the bullet had finally come to rest.
Then I widened the search,
traced the scarring back to its source
to a sweating, unexploded mine
buried deep in his mind, around which
every nerve in his body had tightened and closed.
Then, and only then, did I come close.
Exam Task: Write about the presentation of relationships in The Manhunt.
The Manhunt, by Simon Armitage, is a poem that breaks with the model of the title having some kind of meaning to the rest of the poem. It is not about the kind of manhunt that you would normally associate with the title, a hunt for a criminal, a killer, or a thief, where one person typically hunts down the perpetrator to some horrible crime, but rather, is a poem written as though the main speaker is a woman, a wife who is on a man hunt of her own, to find the man she fell in love with, but who has come home from modern warfare, a broken man, possibly dying or seriously injured.
There are detailed references to the body of the husband showing a closeness in their relationship, something that perhaps, he may now be having difficulties with due to his injuries, as horrific as they undoubtedly are. In an age when young men go off to war torn countries and return with limbs missing and internal injuries galore, this shows the love the man and the wife have for each other in their new found situation in life.
It is a relationship that defies all the pain and the heartache that this couple are going through and explores the strength of a truly loving character, or couple. In the most harshest of circumstances, here is a loving relationship that is bound to last, but there are issues that could break them apart if they do not control their situation.
The speaker in the poem is female and she is determined to search for the man she fell in love with, who is hidden somewhere in the battered remains that are now before her. He is a changed man because of his experiences and because of his injuries. So, she wishes to understand her husband's feelings because of his condition and although it is a medical and physical condition that he is enduring, there are hints of the possibility of something like PTSD splitting them apart, caused by his injuries and his state of mind.
It is as if the soldier has returned from the theatre of war after "the first phase" of action. The word "phase" is sometimes a military word in certain contexts, so the first rhyming couplet paints an image of a phase of fighting, or a tour of duty and then "passionate nights and intimate days," when the husband would let her "trace the frozen river which ran through his face." This is metaphorical in style because "the frozen river" could be symbolic of his tears at what he has been through, but it could also mean the grief and feeling of utter hopelessness that he is feeling, as he tries to come to terms with what he has seen and endured.
The wife then states that after those passionate nights, "only then would he let me explore the blown hinge of his lower jaw," which again is possibly metaphorical and using a rhyming couplet. "The blown hinge of his lower jaw" could be taken literally, whereby his jaw is damaged, for we do not hear him speak in this poem. Instead, he is a silent patient, but whether he is a patient patient is another thing entirely. If he is suffering from the likes of PTSD, a number of things can happen. He can remain silent, preferring to hide his feelings, to bottle them up for fear of upsetting his wife, who now sees his broken body and mind. He can also be verbally loud, obnoxious even. I know that my experience of PTSD includes bouts of depression and then anger, where nothing but verbal diarrhoea can appear if I am not careful, so sufferers tend to practice being nicer and kinder, to control their feelings. It is almost like being Bi-Polar; up massively one minute and back down the next. Therefore, the link to the "frozen river of tears" is all the more powerful because it is like saying that his tears have all but dried up; that there is no feeling left in him, and this is what his wife finds so difficult to cope with. The once loving and considerate husband is a mere shell of himself.
At this time she can "handle and hold the damaged, porcelain collar-bone and mind and attend the fractured rudder of shoulder-blade," as well as being able to "finger and thumb the parachute silk of his punctured lung" which is indicative of the fact that his wounds are severe. The man has a punctured lung, a broken shoulder blade as well as other life threatening injuries so his wife is able to touch and feel the damage. Imagine for a moment, that you were able to see this on someone you love. How would this make you feel? Would it increase the sense of separateness between you? In this instance, it has and it does separate them, because this soldier wants nothing more than to be left alone. There is a deafening silence from him throughout the poem.
But the wife, on the other hand, is the driving force and when she runs her fingers up "the rungs of his broken ribs," she is able to do so on someone who was once a fit and agile young man but now, is a broken wreck of a former self. She says that she can "feel the hurt of his grazed heart" and that she can "picture the scan," like some form of image that shows "the foetus of metal beneath his chest," reminiscent of a shrapnel injury, but more likely to be from "where the bullet had finally come to rest."
Now, in the first six lines of this poem, there is an A, A, B, B, C, C rhyme scheme being used but this changes at line seven, where the lines stop rhyming but this is done on purpose, to change the structure and style of the poem, so that it keeps a sense of brokenness that links into the feeling that this soldier is enduring. This is a wife who then explores the body of her lover, tracing "the scarring back to its source,to a sweating, unexploded mine buried deep in his mind." Now this sounds as if there is a bomb of sorts in his mind, a willingness [or not] to 'explode' either with rage or some other symptom of the PTSD, causing all around him to suffer. It could also refer to the thing itself that put him in this position,"around which every nerve in his body had tightened and closed." It is as if his body, being as broken as it is, has shut down and as much as the wife wishes to support her husband in a moment of tenderness, the relationship between them is strained. To him, she is not his lover any more. Perhaps, the chances of a sexual union have ended with his injuries. But she is able to see him for who he is, for what he is, to her. At that moment, she is able to draw near to him and show her love and affection, which is why she states at the end that "only then, did I come close" to understanding just what makes her 'new' husband tick.
He has come home from the war, whichever one it was, and he is suffering badly, in pain and in spiritual and emotional pain. In his heart it is all over. He just wants his life to end. I know, that in 2010, after my car crash that nearly killed me, that for weeks and months, I just wanted to die, such was the pain. In the same manner here, this man is secretly wishing that he would pass from this world, leaving his wife to lead a better life instead of being forced to look after him for the rest of her days. He feels a burden on her time, on her life, on her love. This is the true cost of war in the modern theatre of conflict, but it also shows the strength of their loving relationship that they are able to continue in love.
This is not an easy poem to read, digest and study, but be aware, that you need to view it from both sides. To do that, draw a line down the middle of a page; half a page will do. On the left put the word "wife" and on the right, "husband." Now, down the middle of each column, use single words to describe her relationship to him and then fill the other side in as well, his relationship to her, for it will show you the kind of relationship they have and it is, after all, relationships and love that you are studying in these poems, so do that and then read it back to yourself to see the differences in their love and their expectations.
When you have done that, have a go at answering the above question.
Happy writing.

Retire to Inspire
Shelia and Ron, a retired couple from Altrincham, have become ambassadors for Trafford Leisure's Physical Activity Referral Programme. The pair, who have been married for 26 years and have four grandchildren, are volunteering for Trafford Leisure to inspire and welcome people from their local community into physical activity, having both experienced the positive effects of exercise themselves. Shelia and Ron are advocates of Altrincham Leisure centre and the difference a commitment to exercise can make to a person's life.
Ron and Sheila had been members at Altrincham Leisure Centre prior to their retirement, but it was after Ron's heart attack two years ago that they contacted Jo Cherrett, CEO of Trafford Leisure, Ron says: "Jo was wonderful. She was very responsive, and listened to our concerns and queries."
Following on from this meeting, Jo introduced Sheila and Ron to Jenny Burton the Active Living Manager at Altrincham Leisure Centre. They were then supported through Trafford Leisure's eight-week Physical Activity Referral Programme, which they completed before taking upa 'Retire to Inspire' membership.
The Physical Activity Referral Programme was developed for people to be referred to the experienced team at Trafford Leisureby their GP or other healthcare professionals. They are shown around by the Active Living Manager who will have an in-depth conversation about any specific health issues, before developing a customised 8 week programme for them. After completing the eight weeks, customers can graduate on to various other activity options.
Since becoming ambassadors for the programme, the couple are now able to sign people up to Trafford Leisure's Physical Activity Referral Programme themselves, welcoming them to Altrincham Leisure Centre and always being that friendly face at the centre.
Ron says: "Before retirement I was very active and busy, but when you give up work it's all too easy to stop. You lose your routine and your purpose. I'd always been a very positive person, but after my heart attack I became very despondent. It's this despondency that forces me to come to the gym. A physical trauma, like a heart attack, builds doubt; the team at Trafford Leisure have given me my confidence back. I want to be around to watch my grandchildren grow and blossom. I don't want my life to revolve around my armchair and watching mindless television. I want to be active, to maintain my mobility, to be able to enjoy our garden and build new vegetable beds. Too many people retire and just give up on life."
Sheila says: "It's been amazing to get back to Altrincham Leisure Centre. The staff and instructors are such a motivation for me… I currently participate in five classes a week, including Body Conditioning, Zumba, Total Body Work Out and Spinning, as well as an Abs session. I love the Zumba classes, the music and energy is great fun. But more importantly, I enjoy us having a structure to our daily routine. The staff at Trafford Leisure are so supportive and do really care about you. There is such a family feel to the place. I feel fantastic." Ron echoes his wife's sentiments, chipping in to say: "I have a reason to get up. A reason to keep going. I have an incentive for action. There's no stopping us now."
Ron continues: "The eight week programme is enough time for customers to feel the difference exercise can make, both physically and mentally. I'm so excited to be in a position to be able to refer people to this scheme. What an honour!"
Jenny Burton concludes: "Ron and Sheila are a wonderful couple, and I really enjoyed the opportunity to meet with them and to address their worries. I am so pleased that not only are they living life to the full, but that they will be helping the local community by becoming physical activity ambassadors. They are an inspiring, active couple, and I'm thrilled that they will be sharing their experience and enthusiasm to motivate others."

Robotics expert Hiroshi Ishiguro visits RMIT Gallery
What's the difference between a human and an android? That's a very important question, and according to robotics expert Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro, it's not necessarily an easy one to answer.
As the main venue, RMIT Gallery hosted the professor's visit from 12-16 September, when he performed with Telenoid, his tele-operated android.
The Telenoid was a media hit and crowd pleaser. Professor Ishiguro appeared on multiple television programs, radio shows and posed for photos calls.
On opening night, more than 600 people crowded into RMIT Gallery to take a look at the star attraction and interact with the android.
In the audience was Hidenobu Sobashima, Consul-General of Japan. He was interested in how he was able to have a conversation with Telenoid.
RMIT Gallery Director Suzanne Davies said the Telenoid challenged our capacity to differentiate between art and science.
"We were all fascinated at just how closely an android could simulate reality," she said.
Professor Ishiguro said our brain was designed for recognising the human, not the machine and not the computer. He said that women, especially, prefer robots with a more human-like appearance.
Part Skype and part android, the Telenoid is being trialed in Japan, Denmark and Australia to see whether it can help with depression and loneliness in the elderly.
The Telenoid, unlike a Skype call, provides the tactile sensation. With its soft, silicon skin, the Telenoid uses tele-operated and facial recognition software to hug, smile and speak.
Instead of speaking on a small smartphone, which is an anonymous black box, those holding Telenoid get to see and feel a response from the person they are speaking to.
The Telenoid's eyes have cameras so it can see you and hold an interactive discussion.
It can tell if you are looking sad, or happy, what you are wearing, and if you are frustrated - because that's what the person on the other end of Telenoid can see, via a notebook computer.
Comments about the Telenoid in the RMIT Gallery visitor book ranged from "I had an interesting conversation with a robot - so weird but cool!" to "The robot told me where I am going on the holidays and it sounds like fun!"
Professor Ishiguro said: "The elderly actually prefer talking to the Telenoid rather than talking to people."
The Telenoid is not only gender neutral and unthreatening and baby sized, it is also a blank slate on which the audience can project its imagination.
This appearance arose from a question that Professor Ishiguro posed during the design process: how much human likeness does a robot need to have?
One blogger said after visiting Telenoid at RMIT Gallery: "I thought that the most interesting aspect of it was that it had abbreviated limbs and no bodily hair and as such engages with (though I'm sure that was not the inventor's intention) the notion of disability."
Another online comment: "The biomechanical parameters mean that you automatically tend to hold and interact with it as you would a comparable sized human, although it reminded me of the mechanical torso that you use for First Aid CPR training tool…
"But I had no qualms about picking it up and holding it, finding the experience amusing as it squirmed in my arms rather than unsettling."
A devoted Trekkie who owns every Star Trek box set and knows everything there is to know about the television show and its spin-offs, Professor Ishiguro is not surprised by the reactions.
"Nobody knows what it means to be human. That's what I am looking for. Does the robot have a heart and mind? When the human sees the android, they are always asking about consciousness.
"However, the human is also a kind of machine. We need to input information into our brain. The human cannot develop their own characteristics by themselves so we do the same to the android by inputting information."
Experimenta Speak to Me is on at RMIT Gallery until 17 November. Although the Telenoid has gone back to Japan with Professor Ishiguro, audiences can immerse themselves in a wide range of interactive new media art.

The Providence City Council will consider an ordinance amendment that would limit the city's funding of projects associated with the Dakota Access Pipeline.
"This is a historic moment for Kennedy Plaza," Elorza said, noting that a final undeveloped parcel of land in the city center will soon be completed.

U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse D-RI spoke to a crowd of constituents fielding the political concerns of Rhode Island's largely democratic base.
A Rhode Island School of Design student was robbed Friday at approximately 6 p.m., according to a community-wide email from the Department of Public Safety.
Noah Arnold '20 has died unexpectedly, wrote Dean of the College Maud Mandel and Vice President of Campus Life and Student Services Eric Estes.
With President-Elect Donald Trump's administration becoming clearer by the day, the new leadership appears at odds with progressive Providence politics.
In the wake of Wednesday's #OurCampus walkout and last week's flag destruction incident, another protest of sorts marked the end of a tense week.

CANADA Caduc CA09 CD (2015)
Meridian are Tim Feeney, Sarah Hennies and Greg Stuart. A tuyere is a tube or pipe which enables air to be blown into a furnace or hearth, sometimes under pressure. Indeed, it seems plausible that some of these sort of devices were obtained by Feeney, Hennies and Stuart and used as the source of the noises contained within this imposing disc. Or are they slyly using the term to refer to themselves as devices to get the fires of this music burning?
Tuyeres contains three beautifully crisp recordings, let's assume documenting a series of actions against and within these curious objects and other things. Possibly involving water, sand, leaves, or possibly not, because I'm guessing – there's no information regarding the means of production on the sleeve. Feedback is generated somehow, and in different ways, doors bang shut, matter grinds itself into other, different, kinds of matter. I think I can hear stuff activating the head of a drum, and bowed metal. All the while, deliberate activities are mixed with accidental soundings and even people just dropping stuff occasionally. Of course, this is not sheer carelessness, it is the product of a very highly developed strategy. Activities start and stop, seemingly at random. These brief passages of silence are, indeed, just as important as the sound. They bring the sounds more into focus, as if you were looking through a magnifying glass at an insect colony, or through a telescope at morning clouds on the horizon.
The three tracks don't appear to be named, unless we are to assume they are named after the protagonists. They diminish in duration thus; the first piece is 20 minutes long, the second 15 minutes and the third just seven. It seems to me as if this is one performance divided into three parts - the ID points for the beginning of each track may have been selected arbitrarily: track three starts halfway through a burst of feedback at the end of track two. Which is unconventional, for sure, but also a quite charming.
As with all Caduc releases, the packaging is as beautiful, and inscrutable, as the sounds contained within. The beautiful drawing by Mathieu Ruhlmann on the front of the full colour sleeve depicts what looks to me like a pair of cocoons of some description; exotic or domestic I'm not sure. No matter - this disc comes highly recommended from me.

AMA Triangle to Host First-Ever "CMO She-Suite Panel" Signature Event
- by: AMA Triangle
- in: Chapter News, Events
- tags:C-suite, Female Executives, Marketing, ROI
- 0 Comments
Panel Will Feature Exclusive Marketing Insights from the Triangle's Leading Female Executives
Get ready for a few of the area's female marketing powerhouses to drop some serious knowledge. On Thursday, May 17th, the American Marketing Association's Triangle Chapter will host its first-ever signature event, the CMO She-Suite Panel. Taking place from 6 to 9 p.m. at Brier Creek Country Club, the event will kick off with an hors d'oeuvres mixer followed by a panel featuring chief marketing officers from the technology, service, consumer goods and destination sectors.
Event guests can look forward to gaining exclusive industry insights on everything from key marketing trends to effective ROI measurement to the latest audience connection strategies. Additionally, the panelists will offer perspectives on what it takes to be a leader and share their journeys to the C-Suite. The CMO She-Suite Panel will include the following top-level executives:
- Susan Amey, chief marketing officer at Durham Convention & Visitors Bureau – Bringing more than 25 years of marketing and business leadership experience, Amey joined the Durham Convention & Visitors Bureau in 2016. She held previous leadership roles in product development and marketing, and portfolio management in a broad range of market-leading organizations, including the American Institute of CPAs, Steelcase and Black & Decker.
- Linh Calhoun, chief marketing officer at Replacements, Ltd. – In this role, Calhoun is responsible for driving revenue, enhancing the customer experience and leading the strategic evolutions of the world's largest retailer of vintage and current dinnerware and collectibles. Her extensive career includes marketing leadership positions at VIETRI, Ross Simons, Staples, L.L. Bean and Pace Communication's e-commerce division.
- Sallyann Hulick, chief marketing officer at BSA LifeStructures – Hulick oversees and directs all marketing initiatives for the firm, and leads the organization to utilize branding, talent and expertise to drive business growth. With more than 20 years of experience, her expertise lies in strategy development, leadership, branding and profitability.
- Maria Bartolome Winans, chief marketing officer at IBM North America and Canada – Winans leads all aspects of marketing for IBM with responsibility for client experience, engagement and the health of the IBM brand in the North American regions. Prior to this role, she served as the global chief marketing officer for IBM Watson Customer Engagement, where she was responsible for managing the global marketing strategy for solutions that enable business leaders in marketing, commerce and supply chain disciplines.
- Angela Connor, vice president, business development and audience engagement at Gelia, Inc. – As a former journalist and marketing agency veteran, Connor will serve as the panel moderator. In her current role, she is charged with delivering Gelia's advanced suite of marketing solutions in the Triangle, as well as building on her reputation for client service and success shepherding brands through the ever-evolving media industry.
"People tend to think there is this linear path for getting to the C-Suite, but there's really no such thing," explained Connor. "We all take our twists and turns. The important thing is to open that door when opportunity knocks. Young women today really need to see that they can get there, and that's the primary message we plan to emphasize throughout the She-Suite Panel."
Guests will not only benefit from the panelists' personal leadership stories, but also a series of tactical and strategic tips for career growth and making it to top executive levels. Get a sneak preview of the panelists by visiting AMA Triangle's YouTube channel to watch this video. To register for the May 17th event, visit CMO She-Suite Panel online registration.

Koddos offshore VPS host provide you the best suggestions from their end,and we just have to follow them. Fantastic service. Tech support is lightening fast and I've never had any down time. They are so much better than other hosting companies I have tried. They are top-notch! These guys are pros and speak volumes about this host. In 15 years of marketing on the Internet I have never encountered technical support of this caliber.G
Sebastian MasekOctober 24, 2019
Finally found a host that really takes care of their clients
What I want to say is that Koddos Offshore VPS hosting service is based on quality. These guys consist of professionals. 24/7, Quick responce, I had some different questions - and each time different units contact with me and successfully help me. I got great servers, features, prices and reliability. Many thanks to Host-ed professionals. Tech support was on the ball, the site was up as far as I could tell.G
Kirby Gorbyguildencop.xyz/October 08, 2019
I really appreciate all the work Koddos did for me and wanna thank them. It took some research, viewing various places and participating on forums over at least a couple of months, reading various subjects, what staff of various hosts where saying etc. Koddos has fast offshore servers, my sites are running fast. It's rated at the top of my list for a satisfying experience. Their support is very friendly and they answer quickly. Greatly Recommended!G
Nicolas C.September 03, 2019
I have been with Koddos offshore VPS for the last 10 months and everything works really good. Recommended. Well, their tech support is fine, they have always answered my questions in a timely manner. So far I have been very pleased. I have not noticed any downtime or slow browsing speed. Some of my sites are Drupal, so database speed is important. They will help you with anything be it scripts, billing, or the server itself. One time I couldn't get wordpress mu installed, I asked if it could be a server problem.G
Salvatore BickleAugust 07, 2019
I had tried several web hosts before I started using Koddos offshore VPS hosting in Hong Kong. I have to admit that every time I wanted to leave my current host and now I don't. That is really great, because I managed to find right host for me and now I'm really happy. When I had issue with MySQL database and my custom made web application their tech support team helped me a lot and as result now everything is running smoothly. That is something what makes me really pleased with the service I have. You get what you pay for. That is my case. I pay for professional services and I do get them.G
Parker Goodpasturesocialmeetlive.icu/
I have been with Koddos Offshore VPS hosting for a while now and have to say their reliability is great... The techs contact me checking to see if I have any issues just to be on the safe side. Any questions I've had has been answered quickly and thoroughly. Any little installs of mods were done lightning fast. SSL certificates, all went smoothly. Their attitude is always positive and helpful. But, most of all, my server is ALWAYS up.G
Dominick Peilschwchhall.fun/June 10, 2019
I have been using Koddos Offshore VPS hosting services from couple of months, I am happy with their services. They have truly made this world a smaller place with their exceptional service. I surely can close my eyes and recommend them to anyone without second thought! I wish them all the best and keep up the good work.G
Joseph StovalMay 15, 2019
As a newbie in the hosting world, Koddos offshore host provided me with an easy way of getting up and running. The plan itself is just what I needed, and the support available is just brilliant - any time, day or night (bit of a night-owl here...) and by e-mail, phone or online chat, your skillful rep will be around to help you however they can - even if its not that related to offshore vps hosting account. Recommended.G
Pat CausbyMarch 27, 2019
I have not been disappointed. After being on crappy hosting for so long, all I have to do now is relax and manage my forum, because I know my hosting is taken care of by pros. I recommend Koddos to everyone. #1 host in my opinion. Majority of support issues are answered within 15 minutes by the support techs. What I like about Koddos offshore vps hosting is that everything is very easy.G
Richard Sherrellalterst.euMarch 05, 2019
As far as reliability, features, and pricing go they are a little bit above average. However, in terms of support is concerned I find Koddos offshore hosting in Hong Kong to be the best support I've encountered for hosting services. Koddos are prompt, courteous and have continuously gone the extra mile to make sure everything is running smoothly. Definitely recommended.G
Abraham DoyalHong Kong jiret.oooJanuary 25, 2019
The guys at Koddos know their stuff! It is quite a good place for ordering offshore VPS plans with servers located in Hong Kong. Fantastic host and they have gone above and beyond the usual business to help get my site up and going. Technical support is superb - they have gone above and beyond to assist me with my sites, whenever needed. Amazingly, I never had to wait longer than 20 minutes for a response. If I could give them a 100 out of 5, I would.G
Tomas Ruttrobcofresi.bizJanuary 08, 2019
It was really hard choice as for me. I had considered and tested more then 10 web host and only after that I decided to go with Koddos and their offshore Ddos protected VPS hosting solutions in Hong Kong. They have not let me down. They helped me to fix my issue with MySQL data base and moreover they helped me to setup my own web application. They spent a lot of their time with for my problems. I do recommend Koddos web hosting!G
Mauricio Whitneyquebecon.oooDecember 11, 2018
Good service. Koddos team are very helpful and flexible when setting up
I have been hosted with Koddos (use their offshore ddos protected VPS in Hong Kong) for a quite good period of time and I like them, because when I needed some help - I got that in time. But the main advantage of them - is their uptime. I have no downtime and that makes me think that I had made right decision. Prices - are reasonable ones. Support and customer service - fantastic, fast and friendly. Uptime - no downtime on my end so far. I do not believe I need more. Thanks Koddos hosting!G
Abdul Heltonlamai.kimOctober 30, 2018
Now I am happy I have ddos protection and also anti virus with this offshore host in Hong Kong. Koddos on the other hand seem to go out of the way to take all my enquirers seriously. Any problem has always been resolved and the patience of their staff has been at times stretched. There is plenty of information in advance when server maintenance is required. And I have never experienced downtime outwith maintenance on any of my sites. At a good price I guess thats all you want from a hosting.G
Duane Desirblongliweb.spaceOctober 09, 2018
As someone who buys and works with a wide range of web scripts and components throughout the year, I can honestly say that I've never had such great support as that provided by Koddos. Ticket replies are incredibly fast and informative and they've never failed to resolve an issue. Highly recommended! The quality of the code is also excellent, packed with features and well documented.G
Stacy Hurtjiposter.ninjaSeptember 03, 2018
I have been so happy with Koddos VPS hosting in Hong Kong right from the first time I called to make the first enquiry. Having no knowledge at all of websites and hosting I found that one of their techs was so approachable and easy to talk to without all the 'jargon' and happily answered all of our many questions – even before we were a customer. Locally based in Hong Kong making them easily accessible, and with willing and friendly support, our decision to go with them was made easy from the start. Even better… our first website was online and live the same day! Thanks!G
Giuseppe Shelmanforumania.siteAugust 08, 2018
I've used my Koddos account for the last 3 months for everything you can imagine: personal website, storage for my college work, college projects, group collaboration, and as a tool to help me learn the ins and outs of web programming. Now, I'm a high school teacher, and I use my Koddos account to host a course management system. I never have to worry about the server being down, much to the chagrin of my students. The affordable rates at Koddos have made my website being long term a reality/possibility. I appreciate Koddos's extra options such as Web Stats and plan on looking into other new features Koddos has recently told us about.G
Ian Higginnatfeiertag.eu
I pay $15.99 per month for koddos.net Hong Kong VPS hosting account and I have to say that I'm satisfied with them: - perfect speed connectivity. - Support team: Their support team is very helpful, reply in 10 minutes. - Price. Well worth the my money I think. Your support gets a grade A perfection from me, reliability is as well perfect, and this site has more features and options then any web host i have used.G
Nathaniel Mcwhortermaster-trill.top
Really perfect ddos protected web hosting provider with stable servers located in Hong Kong! Even installed SMF and freshest update was there. Truly fantastic! You guys make installing new things simple and fast. Wish I could give Koddos a medal. You guys really deserve. Keep up the great work, and consider me a life customer. This has been like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!G
Darrick Stclairegalmus.infoMarch 13, 2018
Recommend Koddos. They offer 24/7 support and when I moved to them, they moved all of my websites to their server for free and within hours of signing up. It places high value on customer support and it shows. They've always had excellent support. Top of the line. Their features can't be beat (basically, you can do anything you'd ever need to do). I like Koddos add-on open-source scripts. Pricing is competitive.G
Julia Hubbellpokerdivado.winJanuary 16, 2018
I love the speed of the site, the uptime, the support when needed (few and far between), and the features (the automatic backups are wonderful especially). Koddos is an offshore web hosting provider who cares for clients and always walks that extra mile to ensure your business objectives are fully met.G
Gil Bodygainprofit.bizDecember 13, 2017
My business started small with koddos.net, but I am certain that its reliability is one of the factors that have made my business bigger. The servers are very fast. Always willing to assist me over and over again with even the smallest request. Is one of the most professional and engaging technical professionals I've dealt with in the past 10 years.G
Cecilie Christensenblogstall.topOctober 24, 2017
Many thanks Koddos team! You very excellent work! Operative and qualitatively! Friendly technical support. Really try to help! I advise to all, that used your services! And all are happy!G
Jacquenett Lapointecristomstow.pwSeptember 29, 2017
I've never had a problem with Koddos - it is really cool ddos protected web host. I just realized, today, that I should go online and give them a good review somewhere. I had a few problems when I first signed up (not with them, just with mistakes I made) and they were very willing to help me and explain things to me. Recommended!G

Here' how to get this look:
Step 1: Cleanse, tone and moisturise the facial skin. Apply Tinted Perfection Base Primer for a smooth base. Apply foundation from the Total Makeover FF Cream palette and blend it evenly across the face with a beauty blender. Set the base with Glow to Glamour matte fixing powder.
Step 2: Start by dusting blue eyeshadow from the All Eye Need Picture Perfect palette all over the upper half of the face. Use a fluffy brush to cover a wider area and to spread the product evenly across the face. Strat at the temple, moving over to forehead, the bridge of the nose, eyelids, the other temple, back to forehead followed by area under the eyes and rest of the nose. Be careful not to cover the entire face with the blue shadow.
Step 3: Next, take a deeper/different shade of blue from the All Eye Need Dare to Wear palette on an eyeshadow brush and apply around the eye sockets. Blend well so that it merges with he other blue.
Step 4:Now, add more intensity with a third shade of blue from the All Eye Need All That Jazz palette. Use it sparingly on the eye crease and sides of the forehead. Blend with a fluffy brush for a seamless finish.
Step 5:Apply black eyeshadow on the eyelids and along the lower lash line. Smudge the black shadow to achieve a smoky effect. Tap on some bright blue glitter on the lids. Darken the brows using the Stay Defined HD brow powder. Threesome Mascara on the eyelashes gives them length and drama. Wear falsies if you want. Step 6:Take white eyeshadow on a shader brush and dot it along the cheekbones, around the eyes, on the forehead. Using gentle circular motions, blend the white eyeshadow into he blue base. Do not be harsh while blending as it'll erase the white effect. Highlight the cheekbones ad the brow bone area using highlighter from the Chisel It Game Face palette.
Step 7:Use white face paint to draw streaks of lightning all over the face. Use a fine brush to paint fine/thin bolts of lightning. Let it dry completely before touching.
Step 8:Swipe on the Colour Fusion Mystique plumping lip gloss and you are ready to show off.

In this post we will discuss about common problem in installing cloudera manager 5.3.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 machine and solution for the root cause.
When installing Cloudera Manager 5.3.2 on Ubuntu 14.04.2 Machine getting below error messages after giving root privileges on ssh configuration page.
Exhausted available authentica
tion methods
Installation failed on all hosts. Installation failed. Failed to authenticate
In this case, ssh to root might be a problem. To confirm this try the below commands from Ubuntu terminal from default user not root account. If we receive error message like below in connecting to ssh to root account then this is the cause for above error messages in cloudera manager.
This might be due to unable to ssh to root account in Ubuntu. By default, ssh to root account will not be enabled in Ubuntu and below is the procedure for that. By following the below changes I was able to solve the above problem.
After that I have selected root as the user and its password to start installation on all hosts and maintained the same root password on all agent nodes.
For this we need to make some changes to be able to ssh to root user.
You need to edit
/etc/ssh/sshd_config, and commend out the following line:
Just below it, add the following line:
Then restart SSH:
Once these changes are done, try the below command from Ubuntu terminal: If we receive response like below then the problem is solved.

TINTEX Textiles is proud to activate change industry wide by taking part in the Make Fashion Circular initiative by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. This initiative aims to collaborate and innovate towards a new textiles economy, based on the principles of a circular economy.
Ellen MacArthur Foundation core partners, Burberry; Gap Inc.; H&M; HSBC, NIKE, Inc.; and Stella McCartney will work with the foundation to radically redesign the fashion industry. The initiative is made possible with the support of C&A Foundation and Walmart Foundation.
At present, 16 stakeholders, including city authorities, fashion producers, designers, and brands have joined forces to transform the current state of fashion and rectify its negative impact. All participants involved in the Make Fashion Circular initiative will unite to improve future systems that will benefit earth's inhabitants, the environment, and businesses based on three key principles:
- Business models that extend the lifecycle of clothes
- Materials that are renewable and safe
- Smart solutions that turn used clothes into new clothes
In addition to TINTEX Textiles, fashion leaders already on board include; DuPont Biomaterials, Fung Group, Hallotex, I:Collect, Inditex, Kering, Lenzing Group, London Waste and Recycling Board, Nanushka, Primark, RadiciGroup, Solvay, Texaid, VF Corporation, W.L. Gore and Associates.
We invite you to join fashion industry leaders to uphold this fantastic initiative and help drive momentum towards the vision for a circular economy for fashion, first set forth by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's 2017 report A New Textiles Economy: Redesigning Fashion's Future.
Together we will deliver the solutions needed to meet the changing demands and expectations of society, as well as address issues that have allowed the fashion industry to become one of the most polluting and wasteful operating today. Thank you.

Hello ,
I saw your tweets and thought I will check your website. Have to say it looks very good!
I'm also interested in this topic and have recently started my journey as young entrepreneur.
I'm also looking for the ways on how to promote my website. I have tried AdSense and Facebok Ads, however it is getting very expensive. Was thinking about starting using analytics. Do you recommend it?
Can you recommend something what works best for you?
I also want to improve SEO of my website. Would appreciate, if you can have a quick look at my website and give me an advice what I should improve: http://janzac.com/
(Recently I have added a new page about FutureNet and the way how users can make money on this social networking portal.)
I have subscribed to your newsletter. 🙂
Hope to hear from you soon.

text: Rachel and Elise have a very busy summer vacation this year. They are both on the swim team at our local YMCA. That requires a daily commitment to practice, plus various swim meets over the next month and a half. In addition, they are attending Young Scholars Institute, and educational and fun summer day camp, over the next 2 weeks. There they will attend classes on various subjects including violin, knitting, and rocks & minerals. This is Rachel's third year to attend, and Elise's second. They have a blast and learn quite a bit. The second week of July is VBS at ClearView. The girls always look forward to that week! Finally, we'll be taking our family vacation (this year to Washington, D.C.) later in July. I'm sure we'll pack a few extra activities in on the weekends as well. Oh, and I almost forgot…Rachel started piano lessons today. It's going to be a fun summer!

To examine more than 4000 archaeological finds which had been left in one of the old cells at Milton Regis Court Hall by the dissolved Sittingbourne and Swale Archaeological Research Group in the late twentieth century. These finds need re-packaging, analysing, conserving, storing and presenting. A selection would be then available to display in the Heritage Hub in Sittingbourne, and other local heritage groups within the Swale Museum Group area.
Working in conjunction with local film animator Colin Harvey and other local groups we are proposing to produce a DVD to tell the story of the role played by the community and the significance that Swale played during WW1.
This was 'storyboarded' and scripted in 2019. Michael Peters has agreed to narrate it.

I wrote about Pat McGrath's first "Gold" Collection a while back. Well she has come out with the second Collection, Phantom 002…and that too has already sold out.
At $240, that's impressive…though it was also produced in a limited 1,200 units.
Per her site:
"A defiantly decadent 8-piece kit to create underground looks that span the decades. One illegally black liner and a multiuse eye gloss for the ultimate hardcore glamour. Four self-indulgent shades to metallicize your smokey eye. Give black a new life and blitz into the darkness."
I keep thinking regal birds of paradise – peacock, firebird, golden eagle…
It feels to me like a cross between Studio 54 sequins and heavy metal…!
The kit contains:
- Gold 002 pigment 0.14 oz
- Blue 002 pigment 0.14 oz
- Copper 002 pigment 0.14 oz
- Fuchsia 002 eye blush 0.14 oz
- Black 002 eye gloss 0.14 oz
- Black Caviar gel liner 0.018 oz
- Blender brush 002
- Flat brush 002
It's bold color with smoked edges, so prepare to party…and stun!

Prefer to roast your own coffee? Our classic Typica green beans offer you the opportunity to play with our quintessential Ka'u coffee.
This is the variety that that scored 92 points in Coffee Review at our medium roast. This variety also is part of the Typica-Red Bourbon blend that won the Hawaii Coffee Association's 2010 statewide cupping competition.
Typica is the most common coffee variety planted in Hawaii. When grown in the rich soil and cool climate of the Mauna Loa volcano's southern slope, it takes on characteristics of the Big Island's Ka'u District.
When roasting this coffee, patience is a virtue. Please note that these beans have a lower density compared to, say, Central American coffees. As a result, Miguel says you should start with gentle heat at the beginning of the roast. Put another way, roast these beans as you would a Brazilian or decaf coffee.

Ore. Senate passes bill to regulate tracking devices for kids
KATU: It hasn't happened yet in Oregon, but some lawmakers want to be prepared for the day schools replace roll call with tracking devices.
The Oregon Senate passed a bill Wednesday in a 28-2 vote that would require schools to notify students, parents and the state Board of Education before integrating radio-frequency technology that would track students' locations on campus.
Radio frequency identification devices are computer chips used to track cattle, consumer products and, in some U.S. schools, kids. The devices can be implanted into student ID cards or attached to clothing for the purpose of monitoring students' location on campus, replacing the need to take attendance.
So far, only a few schools in Texas and California have integrated the technology.
Rep. Phil Barnhart, D-Eugene, the bill's sponsor, said the legislation was triggered by a story he read about a Texas high school student who was suspended for refusing to wear an identification card implanted with the tracking device.
"You can certainly imagine a whole lot of very beneficial and useful reasons for being able to know where students are, but I can also think of a whole lot of difficult ones that would be a serious detriment," Barnhart said in testimony.
Barnhart said Oregon should take action now to safeguard students' privacy before the technology starts popping up in schools.
Amid pushback from the tech industry, lawmakers rolled back an initial proposal that would have banned schools from requiring students to wear, carry or use RFIDs to track kids.
Supporters of the devices say the technology offers a cost-effective security tool that can be used to locate students quickly in emergency situations.
"We need to know who is inside our schools at all times," Jim Gingo, representing the Security Industry Association, wrote in testimony in May. "This is no different than asking a person to submit a state-issued ID, taking roll call at the start of class or scanning a barcode. The only difference is that (an RFID) allows all of this to be done quickly and automatically."
Gingo said restricting the technology could close the door on innovations that would improve school security.
But opponents say the technology tramples students' civil liberties and right to privacy. Becky Straus of Oregon's American Civil Liberties Union said the bill sends a clear message that the state is committed to protecting students' privacy at school. "This is a place where we want to teach kids that they don't have to accept the ubiquity of these technologies," Straus said.
As drafted, the bill would require the state Board of Education to regulate the technology as soon as the board is notified that a district intends to use the tracking devices in schools. Schools would have to give parents and students the option to opt out of wearing or carrying the tracking devices.
The bill now goes back to the House, which supported the original draft but must agree to the changes.
Two exit questions:
- If they need to know who is inside the schools at all times, how will they account for those who do not have a tracking device?
- How will they monitor when kids skip school and give their tracking device to another student who is in school?
Slowing giving up our liberties in the name of "security". In other words, a surveillance state.

As much as being religious can interfere with peoples' ability to think objectively about moral issues, it's sometimes the case that antipathy to religion can do so, too.
The former problem arises because people can approach moral problems with unquestionable fundamental rules in mind, given to them by a divine force, and the latter because we should really only care about other people's values when those values might result in harm, and not simply because we find them silly.

29 CFR § 541.709 - Motion picture producing industry.
The requirement that the employee be paid "on a salary basis" does not apply to an employee in the motion picture producing industry who is compensated, as of December 1, 2016, at a base rate of at least $1,397 per week (exclusive of board, lodging, or other facilities); and beginning on January 1, 2020, and every three years thereafter, is compensated at a base rate of at least the previously applicable base rate adjusted by the same ratio as the preceding standard salary level is increased (exclusive of board, lodging, or other facilities). Thus, an employee in this industry who is otherwise exempt under subparts B, C, or D of this part, and who is employed at a base rate of at least the applicable current minimum amount a week is exempt if paid a proportionate amount (based on a week of not more than 6 days) for any week in which the employee does not work a full workweek for any reason. Moreover, an otherwise exempt employee in this industry qualifies for exemption if the employee is employed at a daily rate under the following circumstances:
(a) The employee is in a job category for which a weekly base rate is not provided and the daily base rate would yield at least the minimum weekly amount if 6 days were worked; or
(b) The employee is in a job category having the minimum weekly base rate and the daily base rate is at least one-sixth of such weekly base rate.

What do parents have to know and do to maintain connection with their adolescent child?
This 8-week psychoeducational course is designed to give parents and caregivers a broad understanding of how attachment dynamics show up in our families and impact our mental health.
What We'll Learn And Do:
First thing to know: this is not group therapy.
This is a chance to gain information and concrete skills to support your struggling child. I'll be giving you a lot of resources, research, and practice exercises to build more trust and a stronger connection with your child, and offer some support for your struggle as a parent.
Along with the educational component, each week you'll complete a self-assessment worksheet and we'll do exercises that put theory into practice. These exercises will help stabilize your household.
You'll learn how to regulate your own nervous system and co-regulate your child so they feel more calm and capable.
You'll learn how to be a grounding presence for your child, even when you feel irritated, angry, scared, powerless, and uncertain about how to proceed.
You'll learn about:
Attachment Styles
Everybody's got one. How do they form and what do they look like in practice?
Adverse Childhood Experiences
Recognizing and resolving developmental trauma
Working With The Nervous System
Learning to track auto-regulation, self-regulation, and co-regulation.
Working With The Developing Brain
What can we reasonably expect from our teens?
Containment and Consequencing
Establishing boundaries and new patterns in the family.
Repair and Reclaim
Parenting through attachment injury or rupture. Supporting our child (and ourselves) to feel safe, seen, secure, and soothed.
Who Will Benefit
Any caregiver of a child entering adolescence right up to emerging adults, (10 to 24 years old), can benefit from this program.
Folks with interests that converge on Attachment science, trauma-informed practice, and somatically-based healing modalities will be very pleased with the approach, I think.
But if you have little idea what that previous sentence described, no worries! No prior experience or knowledge is necessary, only a sense that perhaps reading parenting books and talk therapy are inadequate to your needs of the struggle at the moment.
In particular, anyone living in a family system where anxiety or depression are present, (whether among the adult or the child members), will find this program especially important and useful.
Anxiety and depression look different for youth and adults. If you or your child suffer from the following, this course is especially for you:
- physical symptoms such as digestive issues (including diagnoses such as IBS and Crohn's), adrenal and energy issues (including fibromyalgia-type syndromes), sensitive gag reflex or vocal chord dysfunction, chronic sickness or weakened immunity, labile affect (like flooding with tears even if you aren't sad), headaches or occasional vision impairment
- emotional or disordered eating, orthorexia (highly restrictive "healthy" eating/food control)
- addiction (including work, shopping, exercise, technology)
- constant low or high grade agitation, aggression, restlessness, reckless risk-taking, ADHD
- social isolation or lack of emotional vulnerability in relationships
- gender dysphoria, or heteronormativity/societal expectations as LGBTQIA+
- marginalization (including being part of a minority group, having a visible or invisible disability, or neurodivergence)
- rumination or unkind thoughts
- irrational fears or phobias
- perfectionism or a need to control the environment that impairs productivity (including OCD)
- stagnation, stuckness, lack of motivation, extreme risk aversion
- an experience (or witnessing) of chronic stress or traumatic incidents such as break-up, separation or divorce, illness, poverty, systemic racism, loss, shock, friendship failure, bereavement, abuse or violence
We're meeting in the digital realm, but our work together is all about real life.
What is connection? How do we break it down into parts or steps? How do we handle resistance and anger? (Theirs and our own!) What if quite frankly we're not that interested in connection with someone with such a lousy attitude? How do we balance guiding versus nagging? What do we do about too much screen time? How do we enforce curfew? What about…? And…? And…?
Deep breath.
Let's slow it down.
How about we start with just giving attention to the current troubling issue – the fact that parenting is really fucking hard – just for a couple hours each week.
Look, we're not going to figure it all out in a 9-week course, right? But we can actually figure out a lot in that time.
We can reveal some very critical, previously hidden information that can totally alter the course of your family's future – information hidden in you and your child's affect, your histories, your nervous systems, your brains, and your interpersonal patterns.
Information that if you had and knew how to act on, could make positive, permanent shifts in your daily lives.
That's what we'll practice each week. We'll practice evidence-based approaches to build concrete skills.
We'll cover what you need to KNOW and DO to stabilize the situation within your family.
How I come to this work
Some of what led to this course is professional: I'm a somatic trauma recovery practitioner specializing in attachment and developmental trauma.
What that means is, I work predominantly with folks who grew up in emotionally deficient environments who are struggling to do better in relationships than they were taught to do. I help them recognize the trauma response in themselves (and others), strengthen emotional resilience, develop a greater range of tolerance for both intimacy and self-reliance, and learn how to form healthy, fulfilling bonds with others.
My training is called Dynamic Attachment Re-Patterning, a methodology developed by psychotherapist, Dr.Diane Poole Heller, PhD. I receive on-going Clinical Supervision in this work, (including for teaching this course). You can listen to a conversation with my supervisor and mentor, Patti Elledge, here.
I'm also a Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist. I don't do behavioural hypnosis like weight reduction and smoking cessation. I teach people how to relax and focus, and touch upon deeper thoughts and feelings than their busy minds usually allow them to access. I help them discern between fear and intuition, and gently guide them to face whatever healing is needed.
The "clinical" part of my hypnotherapy training means I have additional education pertaining to mood and personality disorders, and the DSM V (the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders, which I do not necessarily endorse but accept as a given in our medical system at the moment). I don't offer diagnoses, but I am trained to recognize them and refer clients to the help they need, or work alongside their current mental health team in a safe, complementary way.
Finally, I'm a parent. My son is now 15 years old. Up until he was 13, as far as I knew, he was a girl! Hah ha what? Whoops! Ha ha did I mention parenting is hard sometimes! Like, WTH, amirite? We don't always get it right. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Ok. Anyway…
In all seriousness, I'd say my son and I have quite a close, loving relationship with a high level of Contact Nutrition even though we've definitely had long periods of distance and mistrust and hurt and anger.
All of which I will be happy to humbly share, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Commiseration always available and welcome. And, I'll share the somatic trauma recovery and attachment techniques that have worked for us, and what has worked for the teens I see as clients. (Like "Contact Nutrition"! The secret ingredient to all relationships! You'll learn all about it!)
There is hope, my friends! There really is, and it's really worth pursuing.
We'll draw on the research and work of the following notable experts and therapists for this work:
Diane Poole Heller
John Bowlby
Mary Main
Stephen Porges
Stan Tatkin
Dan Siegel
Allan Schore
Vincent Felitti
Golda Ginsburg
Gordon Neufeld
Gabor Maté
Class times
Classes will be held over Zoom video conference. Classes are 2 hours long with a 15 minute break in the middle.
Classes will include both lecture and experiential exercises. Some time will be available for clarifying questions. All Classes will be recorded.
Sunday nights, 5:00-7:00pm Pacific:
October 13, 20, 27
November 3, 10 (followed by a two week integration break)
December 1, 8
Office Hours
Office Hours will be held over Zoom and last 60 minutes.
Office Hours are a chance to ask me questions more specific to your situation. If I don't know the answer, I will offer a resource or to help look for one.
Again, not therapy, but support, coaching, and resources are on offer at this time.
If you can't be live on the call, you can email me in advance and I'll do my best to answer in the time we have. You can listen to my reply in the recording. All Office Hours will be recorded.
Wednesday nights, 6:00-7:00pm Pacific
October 16, 23, 30
November 6, 27
December 4
Community Support
Additionally, we have a closed Facebook group where participants, both new and alumni of this program, can share resources and seek support. This group is lightly moderated by myself. I don't routinely answer questions there but will pop in to offer resources if I have them.
"This course reminded me how I want to be as a parent, gave me the evidence to reinforce why it matters how I do, and some simple but impactful tools to connect to myself and my kids." ~ S.C.
"Feeling overwhelmed with our household dynamic, this class really helped me find where to start and how to build stronger connections and better understanding with my kids in the deep hearted way that we need." ~ K.B.
Refunds are no longer available once our first class has begun: it's a non-refundable experience, like a concert ticket. The cost of this program is less than my hourly rate – it's a very affordable way to test drive my work.
With your registration, you consent to the recording of our video calls. You are not required to have your audio or video on to participate; it is fine if you just want to listen in and observe. Also, you should know in advance that I swear a bit.
Once again, this is not therapy. So please be prepared for me to sometimes answer questions with something to the effect of:
"That's beyond the scope of this class/the average parent/most humans/OMG how are you even still standing, you poor thing?"
"You would need to consult with a counsellor/psychologist/psychiatrist/doctor about that."
"That's something we should probably dive into in the context of a one-on-one session."
That said, I am here to support your parenting journey and I very much look forward to discussion and questions during our calls.
