Sometimes the decision to make an investment can turn on the contents of a fund’s offering documents. Few people understand that better than Ed Kless. Ed has been a trusted advisor to some of the nation’s top endowments and other leading institutional allocators for over 25 years. He has held the position of General Counsel at the University of Virginia Investment Management Company, and for the past five years, he has served his clients as outside counsel and partner at the Hirschler law firm. In this episode, Ed covers a wide-range of topics involving investment agreements, including a review of top issues allocators worry most about and why the fiduciary-duty standard is such a key provision. He also explains why basic terms in agreements tend to be the same across the hedge fund industry – from large, established managers to new entrants – and why that doesn’t always make sense. In addition, Ed weighs in on private equity documents and the significance of an allocator’s leverage, or lack thereof. He concludes with some observations about changes to key provisions in fund documents over the past 10 years and some of the more significant issues that industry is grappling with now.

Discussing bio medical (non-medical) approaches to well-being for people with disabilities. This week’s podcast/ blog is a rebroadcast from Episode #026 with Janet Klees. Janet Klees has been involved in the lives of people with disabilities, their families, and allies in community for over 30 years. Until recently, she has been coordinator with the family-governed Deohaeko Support Network for over 20 years. She is the author of three books which are directly rooted in the Deohaeko experience, (We Come Bearing Gifts; Our Presence has Roots; Deohaeko Decades) and which are now sold around the world. Currently, Janet is the Executive Director with a family support organization, the Durham Association for Family Respite Services. Bio- Medical (non-medical) Approaches: The Durham Association for Family Respite Services has started a family group to discuss and learn about the impacts of diet, exercise, and mindfulness as alternatives to medication and behaviour management approaches. In my opinion, these are common sense approaches that can be explored at little cost that can get down to the root cause of symptoms or behaviours that a person is experiencing. Peter Marks, Founder and Director of the Centre for Conscious Care, got Janet and these families thinking about these integrative approaches and you can find additional resources on his website. Paraphrasing from the podcast, Janet shares: One of the things we have started to learn about it diet. Families have started to experiment with eliminating or reducing gluten and dairy from their child’s diet, and they are sharing the results with other parents. There is a lot of research about gluten and ADS, but this isn’t just for people with ADS, it is helping people with other developmental disabilities. (Note: In a conversation with Dr. Jennifer Forristal N.D. at a Waterloo Region Family Network Conference, Dr. Jen shared that this type of dietary change can be overwhelming for a family pull off. Dr. Jen shared with the group, to start small - start with trying no gluten or dairy for just one week. With a one week trial you can notice changes, and if those benefits are great enough you can decide to continue, or not.) Once people’s diets are in order we can start to look at other things. One of these things is sensory integration. A person might either be over stimulated or under stimulated. There are techniques, such as using a small trampoline for 20 minutes, that are effective in helping people be calm or focus. People are also interested in medical marijuana, and the potential benefits that it may have - especially with epilepsy. We have some families experimenting with this under the care of doctors. We are also looking at mindfulness and bring mindfulness practices to people with disabilities. However, it isn’t just thinking about the person with the disability, it is thinking about the team that supports them. The person supporting needs to be calm and present in the moment. If we start at a biological end then we might be able to get to the root cause of the symptoms someone is experiencing. Naturopathic doctors can be a good resource to start to think this way, make sure to find a naturopath that is familiar with developmental disabilities. Peter Marks, Director of the Centre for Conscious Care, is joining us on an upcoming episode to teach us more about these approaches. Check out the Conscious Care website or you can pick up the book on Conscious Care from Inclusion Press to learn more. Thank you for reading to today's blog!

Learn what intentional community is, and the building blocks to build your own intentional community. This week, I am re-sharing an important conversation from Episode #022 on Intentional Community, with Janet Klees and Linda Dawe. Janet Klees has been involved in the lives of people with disabilities, their families, and allies in community for over 30 years. Until recently, she has been coordinator with the family-governedDeohaeko Support Network for over 20 years. She is the author of three books which are directly rooted in the Deohaeko experience, (We Come Bearing Gifts; Our Presence has Roots; Deohaeko Decades) and which are now sold around the world. Currently, Janet is the Executive Director with a family support organization, the Durham Association for Family Respite Services. Linda Dawe is a founding member of the Deohaeko Support Network– a family led collective that has embodied diversity, inclusion and community since its inception in the mid 1980’s. Intentional Community There is a lot of discussion in the disability sector about what community is and the definitions can vary widely. The conversation can range from placing groups of people (such as people with a disability and seniors) together in a building to support each other, to a diverse group of individuals coming together to build relationships and share their gifts with each other. Amazing community builder, Linda Dawe shares what she has learned about building an intentional community at Rougemount over the last 25 years: “Intentional community is not something that you measure - it is something that you feel. It isn't a thing, it is in the hearts of people, and people embrace it to different degrees. One of the things that was important in creating the intentional community at Rougemount was the diversity in the residents that represented the actual community. Not placing groups of people together, such as seniors and people with disabilities. Intentional community at Rougemount started out as a grand thing, but simply it is just being in relationship with each other. People living well together. It requires effort, consciousness, and core people to hold the values of the community. Janet Klees adds: “Simply put, community is being a good neighbor. At Rougemount people look for opportunities to be good neighbors and then talk about it, and hold up examples of it. Intentional community isn't a building - it is a mindset! We can take the ideas with us, and many groups have. People have come into Rougemount and have seen how it works, and then brought it into neighborhoods with single family homes, and brought it into condo buildings. Rougemount is just an example of how it can work. The Key Takeaways for me are: 1. Building Intentional Community starts with rich diversity and upholding neighbourly values. 2. Fostering Intentional Community requires us to get a common understanding of each other, and through that understanding building trust and respect. From here we can show love to each other in small little ways, and uphold those acts of love. 3. Be intentional in creating opportunities for people with disabilities to build relationship. Do not group them in housing or support. Thank you for reading to today's blog! If you liked this episode and think someone you know would benefit, please share it with them!

We welcome Janet Klees back to the podcast/ blog this week discuss building natural relationships, bio medical approaches to well-being, and the different approach her organization, Durham Association for Family Respite Services, takes to supporting families. Janet has been involved in the lives of people with disabilities, their families, and allies in community for over 30 years. She is the author of three books which are directly rooted in her experience with the Deohaeko Family Support Network, (We Come Bearing Gifts; Our Presence has Roots; Deohaeko Decades) and which are now sold around the world to present the unique options of this family group. So how is Durham Association for Family Respite Services different? Janet explains that often a family’s first question is: “Can I pay you to do that for me?”. Janet’s answer is: “Well no. But I will teach you, and give you practical supports along the way.” The organization believes so strongly in the approach of empowering individuals and families to make their own choices and keeping control of their lives that they are changing their name to the Durham Association for Family Resources and Supports. The organization started 35 years ago as a family respite organization, and has since evolved to focus on full life planning, and helping families to think about what a good life is. The organization is grounded in Social Role Valorization (SRV) methodologies and some of the services they offer are listed here. I am listing these services for you because the organization frequently hosts free workshops that you can attend, and they are open to having a conversation with you – even if you are from outside of the Durham Region. Facilitation and planning; helping people imagine what a good life is, creating a plan and putting the plan into action. Support recruitment; helping people recruit good support people, and providing a minimum a one day training to make sure they understand a SRV style of support. Administrative support; templates and forms to make hiring support easier. Free Training; workshops for families and supporters to learn what has worked to help people with disabilities create a good life. Family to family learning; families get together to talk about themes, such as housing and bio medical (non-medication) approaches. Brokering and financial supports; helping families by doing the administrative functions with individual funding dollars. Building Context for Relationships BCR is a Strategy that was figured out while working with the families of Deohaeko Family Support Network. The parents were very clear that there was need to have relationships in their son’s and daughter’s lives. The group looked at what they were doing right, instead of what they were doing wrong, and this pattern emerged. What they noticed is that relationships had evolved between people with a disability, and people that do not have a (visible) disability. The Deohaeko Family Support Network had taken a social role valorization (SRV) approach. Janet provides an overview of SRV: “The SRV framework says that human beings are very judgmental by nature. We make quick judgements about whether you are like me, or you are weird and different. We can take this human tendency and use it for the good by developing positive roles, such as the Blue Jays fan, the dog walker, etc.. This strategy has helped people create positive roles, and the roles are like a glue. In the role you end up meeting other people who see you in a positive way, and those people end up being open to a different kind relationship in your life. We don’t group people together – when we group people with a disability all (other) people see is the disability. They don’t see the person for who they are and the positive roles they have. Often, families haven’t thought about their son or daughter as a contributing member. We haven’t thought about what son or daughter’s job might be.” Janet provides a larger overview of SRV in this blog. BCR: A 4-Part Strategy to Create Situations Were Relationships Are More Likely to Arise. Janet explains: 1) Find ordinary places where people share your interest. Follow the interests of the person and think about where other people are that are interested in your interest. For example, if your interest is dogs other people interested in dogs are at: the dog park, dog training, walking dogs, dog clubs, stray dog associations, etc.. We are looking for typical and ordinary places in community, not places segregated for people with a disability. 2) Go to the same place frequently. To build relationships you need to be among the same people regularly. Pick one place, use your 1 to 1 support to support, and be there often (ex. Once per week). 3) Find a way to contribute. You want people to have a role in those places in community. So often people with a disability are just spectators. If you look at a music festival most are just spectators, but there are so many opportunities to have a role as a volunteer (ex. free samples, filling water bottles, assistant to the golf cart driver). This gives the person a role, and makes relationship easier. 4) Other people have to be present. Supporters are a bridge to relationships with others, and they need to play a role in facilitating relationships. The paid support person can be looked at as the friend. They are being paid and likely will not be there for that person’s entire life. BCR In Action: On the podcast Janet shares several stories of how people have used the BCR strategy to build relationships. You can listen to the podcast to hear them all. Paraphrasing from the podcast, Janet shares Johnathan’s story: “Johnathan has a small shredding business that he takes it into work places. He was working at the local police station, and really enjoyed it. He felt like he was important, and he felt like he belonged. That police station was closed down, but hey really valued Johnathan so he was invited to the big regional police station to continue his role. After 3 weeks at the regional police station Johnathan said he didn’t want to go anymore. They had put him in a backroom alone to do his shredding, and he didn’t have his relationships anymore. The shredding business was just a vehicle for relationships. When the relationships weren’t there, he no longer wanted to work. They talked to the police station, and Johnathan moved to a room where he was with people and he enjoyed his job again – because of the relationships.” Bio- Medical (non-medical) Approaches In a recent study, led by Yona Lunsky, psychologist at Centre for Addiction and Mental Healthfound that thousands of people with down syndrome, autism and other developmental disabilities are being prescribed anti-psychotic medication despite a lack of evidence that the drugs actually help them. (Reference: Toronto Star) This highlights the importance of thinking about bio-medical approaches to well-being for people with disabilities. The Durham Association for Family Respite Services has started a family group to discuss this, and they are learning about the impacts of diet, exercise, and mindfulness (of supporters) as alternatives to medication. In my opinion, these are common sense approaches that can be explored at little cost that can get down to the root cause of symptoms or behaviors that a person is experiencing. Peter Marks of Conscious Care focuses in this area, and you can find additional resources on his website. We are hoping to have Peter on an upcoming episode to learn more about these approaches. I thank Janet for coming onto the podcast and sharing her experience in helping people with disabilities to build relationships, and for getting us thinking about non-medical approaches to well-being.

Hear the story of the Rougemount Housing Co-operative & the Deohaeko Support Network, learn what intentional community is and how to build it, learn the key factors that made Rougemount a success for people with a disability, and get a different perspective on creating a home for people with a disability. This is part 4 of 6 of the mini-series on housing for people with a disability on the Empowering Ability podcast. In this episode, I bring you the story of Rougemount Co-operative Housing, and the Deohaeko Support Network– a co-operative housing project led by families that has embodied diversity, inclusion and community since its inception in the mid 1980’s. I had the pleasure of visiting the community for a guided tour, and I sat down to interview 5 members of the community. I Narrating the story of Rougemount and Deohaeko is Janet Klees. Janet has been involved in the lives of people with disabilities, their families, and allies in community for over 30 years. Until recently, she has been coordinator with the family-governed Deohaeko Support Network for over 20 years. She is the author of three books which are directly rooted in the Deohaeko experience, (We Come Bearing Gifts; Our Presence has Roots; Deohaeko Decades) and which are now sold around the world to present the unique options of this family group. Currently, Janet is the Executive Director with a family support organization, the Durham Association for Family Respite Services, with hopes of sharing her learning with a wider group of families in Durham Region and trying to affect larger scale supports and changes for families. The Story of Rougemount and Deohaeko Paraphrasing from the podcast Janet shares: “In the middle of crisis, there is always opportunity. In the 1980’s in the Greater Toronto Area there was a housing crisis, much like there is today, and a group of 7 families came together with the goal of creating ordinary life in ordinary neighborhoods for their sons and daughters with a developmental disability. At the time, the Federal Government of Canada and Provincial Government of Ontario was funding Housing co-operatives where the people don't own the units, but there are permanent tenants as long as they follow the rules of the co-op set by the co-op board. It just so happens that Rougemount was the very last co-operative housing project that was funded by the Canadian Government. The building was constructed with 105 units, where the 7 sons and daughters with a disability would live in this community. There are approximately 200 residents living at Rougemount and the residents were selected to represent the ethnic, demographic, and socioeconomic makeup of the surrounding region with no more than 10% of population having a disability, which is natural in this region (as it is in most areas). The founding families of Rougemount then created the Deohaeko Support Network, which is a group of families that think about the natural and paid supports for their 7 sons and daughters in the community.” Intentional Community There is a lot of discussion in the disability sector about what community is and the definitions can vary widely. The conversation can range from placing groups of people (such as people with a disability and seniors) together in a building to support each other, to a diverse group of individuals coming together to build relationships and share their gifts with each other. Amazing community builder, Linda Dawe shares what she has learned about building an intentional community at Rougemount over the last 25 years: “Intentional community is not something that you measure - it is something that you feel. It isn't a thing, it is in the hearts of people, and people embrace it to different degrees. One of the things that was important in creating the intentional community at Rougemount was the diversity in the residents that represented the actual community. Not placing groups of people together, such as seniors and people with disabilities. Intentional community at Rougemount started out as a grand thing, but simply it is just being in relationship with each other. People living well together. It requires effort, consciousness, and core people to hold the values of the community. Janet Klees adds: “Simply put, community is being a good neighbor. At Rougemount people look for opportunities to be good neighbors and then talk about it, and hold up examples of it. Intentional community isn't a building - it is a mindset! We can take the ideas with us, and many groups have. People have come into Rougemount and have seen how it works, and then brought it into neighborhoods with single family homes, and brought it into condo buildings. Rougemount is just an example of how it can work. On the podcast, Rougemount residents and supporters Donna Mitchell (25 year resident, Deohaeko member), Tiffany Dawe (25 year resident, Deohaeko member), Shirley Brown (25 year resident), and Sorida Fonseca (Supporter to Tiffany Dawe) share their story of intentional community and community contributions. Through their voices it is evident that everyone is an equal contributor to this community. People with a disability aren’t viewed as a burden, they are valued as equals in the community that provided significant contributions just like everyone else. Lessons from Deohaeko 5 Essential tips in shaping aspects of the community, invisible support, and making principled decisions that ensure that people are seen as ordinary neighbours sharing much common ground. *As described by Janet Klees on the podcast 1. Diversity. Dedication to supporting, shaping, and holding a very typical community - less than 10% disability. It is the diversity of the co-op that makes it work. Diversity first before building intentional community. 2. Where people lived. The people with disabilities living at Rougemount live in apartments across the building, not segregated on one floor. This allowed people to be known by their individual identity, not just by the identity of their disability. 3. Support identified by their name, and deflected to person and their interests. We helped new support workers be thoughtful on how they introduced themselves. When support introduced themselves they 1) identified themselves by their name only, 2) directed the conversation back to the individual they were supporting, and 3) spoke to that individual’s interest. (Example: “Hi I am Sorida, I'm hanging out with Tiffany today. We are headed to the art gallery today - have you seen her art? You should come over to her apartment sometime and see her art.”) 4. Discouraged segregated activities. When new committees were starting we had lots of conversation about who would participate. We thought about who from Deohaeko would participate in committees and chose not to have too many people with a disability on one committee because it then becomes difficult for people to build relationships. 5. No shared support. The reason is that the families didn't want people to see the same supporter with different people with disabilities because then people look at people with disabilities as all the same. Rather than saying different people need different kinds of support. Even in a crisis support wasn’t grouped. We figured different layers of support that would come forward in these situation. We really focused on people having their own unique and individual lives. *All of this is to focus on creating natural relationships, and it works. Creating Housing Solutions Today Janet has carried the thinking from her work with Deohaeko forward into her work today with Durham Association for Family Respite Services. Janet shares: "Housing is a community issue, not a disability issue. In our most recent housing project, we partnered with Brockville and District Association for Community Involvement on a housing project called, ‘Housing is a Community Issue’. We asked families who were interested in housing to join us in discovering housing solutions together and 35 families showed up. This is incredible because we told the families up front that we don’t have any money to give. It shows how understanding families are that they are going to be part of the solution. Even in this housing crisis, people are still finding housing. With our project, we are thinking about what are the ways that people are finding to build, buy, rent, and to figure out housing. Then asking, ‘why can't these ways fit families that are looking for housing?’ This is not a Ministry of Community and Social Services (MCSS) issue, it belongs with housing. This is an affordability issue, not a disability issue. If people need renovations it is a cost issue. We need to ally ourselves with all the people that are struggling for housing. There are organizations like Habitat for Humanity, and Options for Homes that we can ally with. If MCSS is involved in housing they build a service, not a home. Families only have to think about their own son or daughter, and think about works best.” In a recent housing forum in Durham Region, 70 families gathered to discuss person centered housing for their sons and daughters. The group compiled a list of 7 recommendations for the Government of Ontario, and for all of us to think about as we work toward creating a good life for people with disabilities. 1. Home, housing and support are 3 different things and bust thought of separately. 2. Most housing challenges are affordability, not disability. 3. People with disability contribute to their communities, they are not a burden. 4.Getting good housing and support doesn't mean taking away the individual’s control of their life 5.Providing renovation dollars allows families to be creative with their current home today (stabilize current situation), and allows for flexible housing in the future. 6. Stop funding congregated mega projects for people with disabilities, and disabilities / seniors. Commit to typical housing options and neighbourhoods. 7. Where there are Families that are willing to create a home in community the government needs to support with resources. These are cheapest, most effective models, and they are currently the least funded. There are so many things I am taking away from my time with Janet, Linda, Tiffany, Shirley, Donna, and Sorida and grateful to them for sharing their experiences, and what they have learned. The Key Takeaways for me are: 1. Building Intentional Community starts with rich diversity and upholding neighbourly values. 2. Fostering Intentional Community requires us to get a common understanding of each other, and through that understanding building trust and respect. From here we can show love to each other in small little ways, and uphold those acts of love. 3. Housing and support are best viewed as separate. 4. Be intentional in creating opportunities for people with disabilities to build relationship. Do not group them in housing or support. 5. As families, we need be a part of the solution. Design our lives, take control, and ask for help. We assume that someone is going to take care of things for us, but that someone is never going to come. To end, here is a beautiful quote from community builder, Linda Dawe “Everyone needs good housing. Once they have good housing they are able to experience good things in their life.” Our mini-series on housing for people with disabilities is continuing so go ahead and Subscribeto the mailing list to get all 6 episodes sent directly to your inbox!

For the first time in Klees work a humanlike figure is shown as a marionette, a motive which in his later work gained great importance. The doll behaves according to her own rules of play. Completely weightless she floats between the violet ribbons. The feet no longer function and since she no longer has any use for them, in their place two hands have grown. Glass painting was widely spread in central Europe from the sixteenth century; Votive paintings, biblical displays and peasant scenes were produced in their thousands as a winter occupation for large farming families and bought by peddlers. Klee bought several pictures at the Auer Dult market in Munich. Also Franz Marc and Wassily Kandinski were preoccupied with this technique, although unlike Klee not for the sculptural experimental characters, but more for the study of peasant traditions. From Klee there are 64 glass paintings known today. These actually pose a conservational challenge since their colour layers stick very badly to the smooth glass surface.

What is the connection between education and the economy? For many neoclassical economists, the connection is found in Human Capital theory. My guest today, Professor Steve Klees, thinks human capital theory and rates of return analyses are very problematic. In our conversation today, Steve talks about his new article, “Human Capital and Rates of Return: Brilliant Ideas or ideological dead ends?”, which can be found in the latest issue of the Comparative Education Review. He takes us through human capital theory, its internal logical fallacies, and proposes a set of alternatives. Steve Klees is professor of International Education Policy in the College of Education, University of Maryland.
