He intended to give the ring to his girlfriend Betty. When a police officer showed up, Dupree shot him dead. He then fled to Chicago where he killed another officer and wounded others.Authorities eventually apprehended Dupree while he was getting his mail. They shipped him back to Atlanta where he was executed on September 1, 1922.The song is the second track on the Grateful Dead's third album, Aoxomoxoa (1969). As with most of the songs on the album, Dead lyricist Robert Hunter wrote the words and Dead frontman Jerry Garcia wrote the music.Well when I get those jelly roll bluesThe term "jelly roll" was once common African American slang for a woman's genitalia. The great ragtime pianist Jelly Roll Morton took his name from that very meaning. In 1924, Morton recorded an influential jazz song titled "Jelly Roll Blues," which is most likely what Hunter is referencing here. Debuted in January, 1969 and played a total of 17 times that year. Then dropped until Oct 2, 1977 at the Paramount Theater in Portland, OR, played 4 times that year, this version being the last one of the year. Played twice in 1978, then put back on the shelf until Aug. 28, 1982 at the Oregon County Fair in Veneta, OR (home to the famous show from August 27, 1972 to support the Creamery). From '82 to '90 played at least once a year, '85 was the outlier with 16 performances Only played two more times, both in 1994. This is a great version with Jerry's lyrics and playing both very strong. The 8th song of the first set following:  GO TO ARCHIVE LINK A beautiful Bertha opening but I have featured that song so much, and it is such a common opener, that I needed to go with something else today.  I love it from the 1969 Fillmore West shows where two of the nights the second set would start with DuPree's into Mountains of the Moon before jumping into the fabulous Dark Star/St. Stephen/11/Lovelight suite (in my humble opinion, the best suite of songs ever played by the Dead and certainly the one that best defines the band and the basic foundation that supports so much of their music. Played:         82 timesFirst:              January 24, 1969 at Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, CA, USALast:              October 13, 1994 at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY, USA   SHOW No. 1:         Tuning (start of second set, stage banter re Jones Gang)                                    Track #10                                    :15 – End Why did Phil do this?  To kill time, he was dosed, adding a bit of levity to the evening's proceedings.  Or there is this:Two nights before the Dead played in Toronto at Seneca College's Field House.  The night before was at Cobo Hall in Detroit.  So they took the 3d off while traveling from Toronto to Hamilton, NY to play this show.  Apparently, the band could not or did not want to try to take their stash into Canada.  Keith Richards of the Stones had just been busted in Canada for possession and no one wanted to take any chances.  SO . . . . it seems they were “jonesing” from something, weed, acid, or whatever. Many of the Deadhead reports of the show in Archive and at the Dead Setlist Program note that the guys seemed very stoned or, more likely, dosed.  They were wearing sunglasses indoors in the evening. Good friend Henry was a student at Colgate in 1977 and attended the show.  In telling me about it, he basically began with the Jones Gang episode.  So it was cool to finally hear the show and hear Phil do his thing.  A great way to keep everybody entertained while waiting for some technical issues to be resolved.  And something that was sadly missing in their later years when basically none of them said anything while on stage, Bobby sporadically with a comment and Jerry I saw speak from the stage maybe 5 times out of 110 shows.  This is the kind of stuff that normalized them and separated them from the button down rock acts that showed up, played the same set list that they had played all tour and would keep playing  When they spoke it was all pre planned, “Thank you (insert name of city where they are playing). And then launched into a killer Samson (even though it was a Friday).  Just part of another great Dead experience and the kind of thing that makes it easy to remember the show even years later.  Everyone talks about the Jones Gang show, maybe more than they think of it as a Colgate show or Hamilton, NY show.  Sure took Henry back.  MUSIC NEWS:      Music Intro:                                    Cold Rain & Snow                                    Goose                                    10.25.2024                                    LJVM Coliseum                                    Winston-Salem, N.C.                                    Goose - “Cold Rain and Snow” (10/25/24 - LJVM Coliseum - Winston-Salem, NC) (youtube.com)                                    0:10 – 1:05 Another Phil tribute by one of the most promising Gen3 (Gen1 = Dead; Gen2=Phish) jam bands on the scene.  Not the first time they have covered the Dead, but it's a damn good cover of a tune that traces its Dead roots to their very first album and even before that.  Jerry loved it.  Phil made it happen and restarted his singing career on the closing chorus in 1982 at MSG.  And Goose nails it here.  They really bring it every time they play.  The jam band that I figure will outlast me! Mickey and Mike Gordon statements on Phil's passing: Quincy Jones dies: Quincy Delight Jones Jr. (March 14, 1933 – November 3, 2024 at 91) was an American record producer, songwriter, composer, arranger, and film and television producer.[1] Over his course of his career he received several accolades including 28 Grammy Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award and a Tony Award as well as nominations for seven Academy Awards and four Golden Globe Awards.[2] Jones came to prominence in the 1950s as a jazz arranger and conductor before producing pop hit records for Lesley Gore in the early 1960s (including "It's My Party") and serving as an arranger and conductor for several collaborations between the jazz artists Frank Sinatra and Count Basie. Jones produced three of the most successful albums by pop star Michael Jackson: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), and Bad (1987). In 1985, Jones produced and conducted the charity song "We Are the World", which raised funds for victims of famine in Ethiopia.[3] Jones composed numerous films scores including for The Pawnbroker (1965), In the Heat of the Night (1967), In Cold Blood (1967), The Italian Job (1969), The Wiz (1978), and The Color Purple (1985). He won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series for the miniseries Roots (1977). He received a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical as a producer for the revival of The Color Purple (2016). Throughout career he was the recipient of numerous honorary awards including the Grammy Legend Award in 1992, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 1995, the Kennedy Center Honors in 2001, the National Medal of the Arts in 2011, the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2014, and the Academy Honorary Award in 2024. He was named one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th century by Time.[1] "I woke up today to the Terrible news that we lost Quincy Jones.. Genius is a description loosely used but Rarely deserved. Point blank, Quincy was the MAN. I won my 1st Grammy with Quincy and I live with his Wisdom daily," Ice-T on X. Dave's Picks, Volume 52 (The Downs At Santa Fe, Santa Fe, NM • 9/11/83)Time to order Dave's Picks 2025 subscription.  I say it every year.  SHOW No. 2:         Eyes of the World                                    Track #15                                    11:10 – END                                     INTO                                     Estimated Prophet                                    Track #16                                    Start - :20 The unique thing in this segment is that it is the first, and one of the only times, that the band played Eyes into Estimated as it was almost always played as Estimated>Eyes.  This is the end of Eyes jam and segue into Estimated.  Very cool to hear it played “backwards”.  This entire Eyes (all 13 minutes of it), is magnificent and a must hear if you are looking for some great Dead jamming to rock to.  On this night, the boys were apparently in a state of mind that let them do a bit of exploring away from the norm for them, if there even is a “Dead norm”.  It sure worked out well for the rest of us.  SHOW No. 3:         The Other One                                    Track #17                                    :52 – 3:00             We've featured this song so many times, discussed the whole That's It For The Other One suite and all of its subparts. This one is the opposite, a 4 minutes 20 seconds version, with the first 3+ minutes just a hard jam.  They only sing the first verse of the standard Other One and then head straight into Drums.  This clip just features the jam with Jerry leading the way.  So clean and powerful, if 1977 is the best year ever for the band, then this has to be one of its peaks.  Maybe not the best of '77 because Barton Hall, but still way up there for nights when the band was truly smoking hot and holding nothing back.  Some of the best post-1970 psychedelic Dead that you will ever hear.  Everyone in sync and making the magic that kept us all coming back for more until there was no more to come back to.  Just buckle in and enjoy the ride. Played:         550 timesFirst:  October 31, 1967 at Winterland Arena, San Francisco, CA, USALast:  July 9, 1995 at Soldier Field, Chicago MJ NEWS:    SHOW No. 4:         Playin Reprise                                    Track #21                                    3:00 – 6:34 "Playing in the Band" is a song by the Grateful Dead. The lyrics were written by Robert Hunter and rhythm guitaristBob Weir composed the music, with some assistance from percussionist Mickey Hart.[1] The song first emerged in embryonic form on the self-titled 1971 live albumGrateful Dead. It then appeared in a more polished form on Ace, Bob Weir's first solo album (which included every Grateful Dead member except Ron "Pigpen" McKernan). During a Bob Weir and Wolf Bros concert livestream on February 12, 2021, Weir credited David Crosby with the composition of the main riff. Weir stated, "David Crosby came up with the seminal lick... and then he left. We were out at Mickey's barn. So Mickey said, 'Make a song out of that'. Next day, I had it".[ It has since become one of the best-known Grateful Dead numbers and a standard part of their repertoire. According to Deadbase X, it ranks fourth on the list of songs played most often in concert by the band with 581 performances. In the Grateful Dead's live repertoire, all songs featured musical improvisation and many featured extended instrumental solos; but certain key songs were used as starting points for serious collective musical improvisation—the entire band creating spontaneously all at once. In this regard "Playing in the Band" was of major importance, second only to "Dark Star". During "Playing in the Band" the Grateful Dead would play the planned verses and choruses of the song itself; then they would improvise and explore brand new musical territory, sometimes for twenty minutes or more; and then the chorus would usually be reprised, to bring the song to its end. Sometimes during these extended "jams", the band would even perform other entire songs, before at last coming back around to the final chorus aka the “Reprise”. On some occasions, more early on than later, the band would play the main song, jam for some amount of time and slide back in for the reprise.  Its performance in this style on 21 May 1974 at the Hec Edmundson Pavilion in Seattle has been cited as the longest uninterrupted performance of a single song in the Grateful Dead's history, clocking in at 46 minutes and 32 seconds.[3][4] It was released in 2018 on the boxset Pacific Northwest '73–'74: The Complete Recordings and as its own LP.  Very cool – an entire album just for one song.  Like Phish' Ruby Waves at Alpine Valley in 2019 got its own album. Then later they might add a song or two in between the main portion and the reprise. Then later they might hold it for the encore the same night the main song had been performed. Then later, they might hold it until the night after the main song had been performed and then two nights later and sometimes 3.  Not uncommon for play the main song the first night of a multi-night run and then the reprise the last night.  Usually during the show, but as stated, sometimes in the encore. Then they might forget to ever get back to it, play the main song again and the whole process would repeat as everyone would wait to see if and when they would finally play the reprise. David Dodd:  To me, the unpredictability of a “Playin” jam was always a highlight of a show. It could get incredibly far out there—completely away from anything—and then, just like that, snap back in, quietly and cautiously or slam-bang, or later, after they'd played most of another song, or a whole set, into the “Playin Reprise.” Sometimes the reprise would never occur. While it usually ran 3 or 4 minutes, this show's reprise went almost 7 minutes with an extended jam before they every got to the reprise lyrics. For Phish fans, think Twe-pri.  For non Phish fans that's the song Tweezer and its “reprise” and that band takes all sorts of liberties with it.  Not so unlike the Dead's style as previously discussed but most famously, at least as far as I know as a still neophyte Phish head, during their 13 show Baker's Dozen run at MSG, Phish played Tweezer the very first night on July 21st to open the second set and then the Twi-Pri finally showed up on August 6th as the second song of the encore after On The Road Again to close out the entire 13 night run. Reprises are great! Played:  648 times (no separate breakdown for how may Reprises were played but I'm sure there were times they never got back to a reprise although one year April Fools 1985 at Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland MA – actually March 31st but called it their April Fools joke even though they did play again the next night, April 1, at the same venue - they played the reprise first and then the main song)First:  February 18, 1971 at Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY, USALast:  July 5, 1995 at the Riverport Amphitheater in Maryland Heights (St. Louis), MO  OUTRO                     Johnny B. Goode (Bob – “Happy Homecoming”)                                    Track #22                                    0:12 – 2:08 We've also featured this song quite a bit, a Chuck Berry classic covered by almost every rock n roll band that ever played a set of music and even some that never did.  Its guitar intro is as famous a song opening as any in the genre.  I love this version because of Bobby's greetings to the students wishing them a happy homecoming!  Imagine going to your high school or college homecoming dance and the band is the Grateful Dead.  Now that's a story to tell.  Not sure and I don't think it really matters whether that weekend was or was not Colgate's homecoming.  It just showed that stoned and all, Bobby knew he was on a college campus. Almost always played as an encore or show closer if no encore.  Unlike another Chuck Berry classic covered by the Dead, The Promised Land, which could be played as a show opener, set closer, second set opener, encore, it would pop up just about anywhere. Great way to end a great show.  The boys just blow the walls down on this one.  Or, as commenter RFKROX posted back in 2008 about this version, “Oh, and the Johnny B. Goode is the most incredible rockin' version I've ever heard this band play!! It's the fucking SHIT!!”  I couldn't have said it any better myself! Played:   283 timesFirst:  September 7, 1969 at Family Dog on the Great Highway, San Francisco, CA, USALast:  April 5, 1995 at Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center Coliseum, Birmingham, AL, USA  - very interesting, not played at all on the final summer tour.  .Produced by PodConx Deadhead Cannabis Show - https://podconx.com/podcasts/deadhead-cannabis-showLarry Mishkin - https://podconx.com/guests/larry-mishkinRob Hunt - https://podconx.com/guests/rob-huntJay Blakesberg - https://podconx.com/guests/jay-blakesbergSound Designed by Jamie Humiston - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-humiston-91718b1b3/Recorded on Squadcast

“Advogar é fácil, difícil é administrar pessoas”. Embora ainda existam gestores que digam essa frase, ela está – felizmente – caindo em desuso em escritórios de sucesso, que reconheceram o valor da liderança empática na advocacia. Neste episódio, o advogado, consultor e professor na George Brown College e na Seneca College, em Toronto, Diogo Reis Vieira, explica como líderes humildes ganham a confiança de suas equipes, atraem talentos e, consequentemente, captam mais clientes.

Seneca College and Centennial College competed against each other in a volleyball match...a couple of weeks ago in Canada. The match between Seneca and Centennial is causing outrage...because both teams featured biological men competing against women. We react to both Seneca and Centennial allowing biological males to compete on their female volleyball team. We also react to a clip from a media outlet covering the story...where they confront students about this situation. We provide two solutions to this ongoing problem...and explain why women will have to unite to solve it.

Earlier this year, Siemens held the Sustainability Design Hack at their Realize Live 2023 event to address sustainability challenges and encourage college students to come up with creative and impactful solutions to these challenges. The idea behind this Design Hack was to provide students with real-life experience of sustainability challenges within the industry and give them access to mentors and industry experts to help them along the way. In this episode, Shannon O'Donnell interviews two individuals who took part in this challenge: Ava Boley, a fourth-year mechanical engineering student with an aerospace concentration at Michigan State University, and Ricardo Ramirez, a recent electromechanical engineering graduate from Seneca College. They will share with us how the Siemens Sustainability Design Hack tested their problem-solving skills and creativity and offered a unique opportunity to collaborate with industry experts and peers. Through their participation, Ava and Ricardo also share how they have gained practical insights into the complexities of engineering design, particularly in sustainability and the automotive sector.  In This Episode, You Will Learn: Engineering education and problem-solving in the real world (01:54) Sustainability in engineering design (06:44) Collaborations with experts from Siemens and NX (18:25) Industry connections and mentorship at the  Siemens Sustainability Design Hack (21:12) Ava and Ricardo's Sustainability Design Hack experience and their advice for students (31:27) Connect with Ava Boley: LinkedIn Connect with Ricardo Ramirez: LinkedIn

What you'll learn in this episode: What the difference between an artist and a designer is The barriers that can make it difficult for solo jewelry artists to enter the retail market, and how Colette overcame them What Colette has discovered about her creative process by working with George Brown College psychology students on a research project Why it's important for artists to avoid looking at trends in stores and on social media too frequently How a spontaneous haircut sparked Colette's creativity and paved the way for her future business About Colette Harmon Colette Harmon's one-of-a-kind accessories are a dazzling blend of crystal, mixed metals and semi-precious stones. With an appreciation for meticulous craftsmanship, the metal meshing and intricate beadwork in each of her statement pieces are an audacious departure from mainstream minimalism. Born in Sisters Village, Guyana, Colette studied fashion design in Toronto before apprenticing as a belt and handbag designer for a leather goods manufacturer. Harmon soon founded her own eponymous label, whose name became synonymous with maximalist glamour. Harmon's modern approach to vintage flair has earned her a devoted following of customers, fans and fashion stylists from across North America. Her pieces have been sold in Saks Fifth Avenue and Holt Renfrew Canada, and her work has been featured in Elle Canada, Flare, Martha Stewart Weddings and Nylon. She currently focusses on one-of-a-kind couture creations for select clientele.    Additional Resources: Website Twitter Photos Available on TheJewelryJourney.com Transcript: Colette Harmon has seen many trends come and go over the course of her career, but she has never let that influence her work. She has always found an audience for her one-of-a-kind jewelry, even when her hallmark maximalism is supposedly “out.” She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about why she defines herself as an artist; how she nurtures her creative vision; and how her job as a leather accessories designer led to jewelry (and how that experience may come full circle in the near future). Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the first part of a two-part episode. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week.   Today, my guest is Colette Harmon, who is speaking to us from Canada. Toronto to be more specific. I have to say I've never met her, and I've never seen her jewelry in person, but it's my kind of jewelry. It's over-the-top kind of jewelry. You may have seen it on a celebrity on the stage or screen, but if you've seen it, you'd remember it. I couldn't find a lot of information about Colette, so I'm going to let her tell you her story. Colette, welcome to the program.   Colette: Thank you so much, Sharon. It's a pleasure to be here.   Sharon: I'm so glad to have you. It took us a while to connect, to actually make this happen. Are you a designer? How do you refer to yourself? A Canadian designer?   Colette: That's a good question. I don't think of myself as Canadian, but I am a Canadian designer. I think of myself more as an artist as opposed to a designer. To me, a designer is someone who—can I start again?   Sharon: Yes.   Colette: Let me start again. To me, a designer is someone who creates things that can be worn by the masses, who is able to distill things and make them very simple so that everyone can wear them. Like you said, I'm more over the top. I don't think about the masses. I create for myself. I create things that I, myself, would wear. I don't really think about it, and I don't really want the masses to wear my pieces. I want them to be unique. Maybe not one-of-a-kind, but limited editions. I don't want to see my pieces everywhere on everybody. When you're creating things that will be liked and appreciated by many, many people, it becomes distilled and watered down. To me, it loses its soul and its energy. Others might not think that, but that's how I think of myself.   Sharon: I just wanted to ask you, you're from Guyana. Am I saying that right? Guyana?   Colette: From Guyana, yes. I was born in a little place called Sisters Village, Guyana.   Sharon: When did you come over here? Were you young or a child?   Colette: I came at the age of five. I came with my parents, my mom and my dad. I have two brothers.   Sharon: So, you came with your family.   Colette: Yes.   Sharon: And when did you start designing jewelry or other things?   Colette: At a young age. I think I got my creativity from my mother. My mother was very creative. She was very musical. She sewed. She sang. She played piano. She was very creative. I think that's where my creativity comes from. As a child, I was always drawing. I was very much in my head and my own little world as a child. I was always drawing and creating different things. I studied clothing design and thought I would be a fashion designer, a clothing designer.   How I ended up in jewelry was, when I graduated from school, there was a job advertised. I went to a school called Seneca College in Toronto. When I graduated, there was a job in the paper for an accessory designer; it was a belt designer. I had taken a course in college—I think it was just one semester—an accessory-making course. So, when I graduated, I saw the ad and thought, “I can make those.” So, I applied and got the job. I did that for about a year, year-and-a-half.   Then I left that job and started creating my own belts and handbags. One day I was doing a market show, and somebody asked me if I could make a pair of earrings to go with a belt they had purchased. I didn't know anything about jewelry, so I just cut little squares and circles and covered them with leather. Looking back, they were horrible, but at the time I thought they were great. That's how I got into jewelry. I never had any intentions of being a jewelry designer; I never thought of being a jewelry designer. That's how I started. It just sort of happened. I have no idea. It wasn't something I thought about, but I ended up becoming a jewelry designer.   Sharon: Do you have a lot of stylists as clients? They're women, I presume. Are they stylists?   Colette: When I started doing jewelry, I started out wholesaling. I had an agent that would carry my pieces, and I sold to people like Holt Renfrew. I sold to Saks a little bit. I don't know if you're familiar with it, but there was a chain store here in Canada called Lipton's. I sold to Lipton's. I sold to better ladies' boutiques. I got into doing custom pieces because it was very difficult wholesaling as a one-woman show. It was always very challenging getting paid on time, getting paid at all. When you're small, I don't know if it's true for everyone, but with me, people like Saks, they would sometimes take six months to pay me if I got an order. It became very difficult waiting for money. So, I was doing wholesaling and custom work for a bit, and I segued into doing all custom.   Sharon: Did you leave manufacturing belts to have your own business?   Colette: I slowly moved away from the belts and got into jewelry. I can't remember exactly how or when it happened, but one day, I ended up being a jewelry designer. I never thought about it. I didn't plan it. Belts go in and out of style, so I guess there was a period where they weren't selling as much. Belts weren't in style, so I moved more towards jewelry. I guess I decided that I liked creating jewelry better than I did belts, and I just ended up in that field.   Sharon: I want to make sure that everybody knows that the jewelry you make is made with real stones and—I call them costume things—things that aren't real, feathers and all kinds of things. Do you have an inventory?   Colette: Yes, I have quite a bit of stuff. I love to mix different things. I don't follow any rules. I mix semiprecious with crystal and metal. Sometimes there's sterling silver, and occasionally I'll use a little bit of gold. A lot of it is plated. A lot of the metals are plated in either gold or silver. My strength is mixing, the way I combine different elements. I think that's what my strength is. Some people only do semiprecious or only precious, but I like to mix and combine high and low things. I work with whatever I like. If I like something, I'll use it. It has to speak to me. It may sound silly, but I think everything has an energy and they speak to you. They don't speak to you in words or in language, but they have an energy and a feeling. I use what I like, what speaks to me.   Sharon: Do you create these pieces before there's a need, before somebody comes to you and says, “I need a piece,” or do you create them when they say they need a piece?   Colette: I do a bit of both. Someone could come to me and say they're going to an event. They might have a dress they need something to go with. A lot of times they just say they want a necklace and the colors and materials they would like to use, and they let me be free and do whatever. I prefer to work that way. I prefer to have creative freedom. A lot of times, someone will come and have something in mind, and I say, “That won't work,” and they won't listen. So, I do what they like, and you finish it and they say, “O.K., you were right.” I find a lot of people can't visualize; they can't see it. It usually turns out O.K. when I have creative freedom. I can't create something that I don't like. I have to like what I'm doing.   Sharon: What do you say if somebody says to you, “I want it this way,” and you think that's not going to look good? What do you say or how do you deal with that?   Colette: I usually tell them. I'm usually very honest. Then I'll do what they would like me to do. It usually turns out that it doesn't look good, but that doesn't happen very often. It usually works out pretty well. The people that come to me know what I do, so they know what to expect.   Sharon: Can you tell us a little about the people that come to you? Are they women? Are they stylists?   Colette: Mostly women. I do work with stylists. If someone's doing a shoot, they might want me to create something, or they might pull from something I have. I don't keep a lot of inventory. It's mostly women that are going to an event or party. The past couple of years, there haven't been very many parties, but they come to me if they're going to a ball or a fundraiser or just for their everyday lives. They just want me to create something unique. People come to me because they want something different. I don't pay attention to trends or what everyone is doing, so when they come to me, they know they're getting something different.   Sharon: How do they hear about you?   Colette: Mostly through word of mouth. I've scaled back the marketing. It's mostly through word of mouth.   Sharon: Do they see someone else and say, “Where did you get that?” and then they find you? How do they find you?   Colette: That happens. They might see someone else wearing one of my pieces. They might see something in a magazine. When I do editorials, people will call me. I'm in Toronto. I've had people call me from Vancouver after seeing something they like that they would like me to create for them. As I said, most of the pieces are either one or a limited edition. There might be pieces I've done when I can't recreate them exactly, but they might be in different colors. Maybe that color is for a particular client or whatever material is not available, so it's similar, but not exactly the same.   Sharon: What surprised you most about having all these requests?   Colette: I guess the most surprising thing is that there are actually people that love what I do. I don't know if surprising is the right word. I guess it's pleasing to know there are actually people that love it. I was known for these charm necklaces I've been doing for years. I had a woman that has maybe 30 of them.   Sharon: That's a lot.   Colette: I guess it's surprising and pleasing knowing that there are people that really love and appreciate my work.   Sharon: Do you have other collectors besides this woman with 30 pieces?   Colette: I would say I have maybe five people who—I know you're familiar with Carole Tanenbaum. She has quite a few of my pieces. Should I say their names?   Sharon: It's up to you.   Colette: There's a woman named Nella Rosmand who has quite a few of my pieces. I have a client that lives in Yellowknife. Her name is Lisa Tousar. She used to have a store in Yellowknife. I think she's closed it, but she's bought a number of pieces. I had a boutique for a while. She bought a lot of pieces. She loves my work. There are maybe five or six people that have quite a few pieces.   Sharon: Do they wear them more than once?   Colette: I guess so. I guess they wear them. A lot of what you see on Instagram, what you mostly see, a lot of those are—I put the really over-the-top, elaborate pieces there. But I do simple pieces as well. They're not always as elaborate as that. I also do some more subdued pieces.   Sharon: Your Guyanian and Canadian background, what influence does that have?   Colette: It's actually Guyanese. Guyanian means people probably think I'm from Ghana. Guyanese is the term. I came when I was five and I've been back twice. I don't know if being Guyanese has—maybe it's something that's subconscious, but it's not something I think about because I grew up here. I grew up within a multicultural city, so there are influences from many places, I think. I don't know if Guyana specifically has an influence on my work, unless it's subconscious. I've had people say that my pieces look very African. I've had women from Africa say that it reminds them of it. But I don't think it's something I think about or do intentionally; I just do.   I'm doing a project right now with George Brown College here in Toronto. One of the professors, Leah Barrett, approached me about studying my creative process. I chuckled to myself because I don't really have a creative process. I could sit down and sketch something, but once I start to make it, it turns into something completely different because I get ideas as I go. As I said, the materials speak to you. I create as I go along. If I have something in my mind from the start, when I finish it, it's something completely different. I don't really have a creative process. It sounds silly, but I just play. That's what I do. I play.   I have to be honest. There are pieces I've created over the years that I don't like, but a lot of times, those are the pieces that sell first. It's like, “Oh my gosh, I don't think anyone will ever buy that.” That's the piece that goes first. I've sold a lot of pieces off of my neck. That's happened quite a bit over the years. I remember once being at a party at a hotel in Toronto. I was in the washroom, and a woman said, “I love your necklace,” and I said, “Thank you,” and she was like, “I want that necklace.” I didn't want to sell it, but she insisted. She wrote me a check in the washroom and I sold it to her. I actually regret it because it was one of those pieces I could never make again, but I find that people always want what I'm wearing. I've regretted selling a couple of pieces over the years because I could never make them exactly the same again.   Sharon: That's interesting. You're your own best model in a sense.   Colette: Well, I make them for me, to be honest. If I wouldn't wear it, I couldn't make it. I think that's one of the reasons why I started creating my own leather accessories. I felt very restricted when I was working for—it was a company called Princeton Leathers. I always felt like I was in a box, and I just found it very difficult creating. There were two lines, one that was a luxurious line and one that was more simple. They would give me two findings and say, “O.K., now come up with something.” I was doing a dozen of these, and I found it very restrictive. If I won't wear it, I can't make it.   Sharon: Where do you get your ideas, if it's not from somebody who shows you something and says, “I want something done this way”? Where do you get ideas from?   Colette: I don't actively look for ideas. It's just things you see and it's collected in your subconscious. A lot of times, when I go and buy materials, I buy what I love, just pieces that I like. Sometimes they might be sitting on my desk for weeks and I have no idea what I'm going to do with them. Then one day, you might walk by and an idea just pops up in your head. I don't actively look.   That's one of the things I don't like about social media. You're seeing all of these things. I try not to look at other people's jewelry, but you see it and it does influence your work when you're looking at so many different things. I try not to look at it too much because I always want to be true to myself when I create. I don't like looking at other people's work too much because I find that it does influence you, whether you know it or not.   Sharon: Where do you look? Do you walk in the stores? Do you go downtown?   Colette: You know what? I was actually speaking to a friend the other day—he has a manufacturing company in India—saying that we should go out and see, because I have no idea what's in the stores. I don't pay attention to what's in or what's not in. Even at George Brown, in speaking with the students I'm working with, they were telling me that minimalism is back in style. I have no clue. I really don't. I don't know what's in or what's not. I don't pay attention to any of that. I never really liked rules. If you love something, then wear it. Who cares if it's in or if somebody else likes it? It doesn't matter. You're the one that's wearing it. It's how you feel in it. What other people think has no bearing. I've never understood that. This is in style or that isn't in—if you like something, if you love it, then wear it. Who cares? I've never paid attention to rules.   Sharon: What was the context of them saying that minimalism is back in style?   Colette: I can't remember what we were speaking about, but they were saying that maximalism is out and minimalism is in. You know how fashion goes in waves. I think that's like when I was doing the belts. I guess we were going into a period where belts weren't in style anymore, so people weren't really buying. Eventually I started doing more and more jewelry pieces. That's the thing; if you like belts, then wear belts. I guess with the wave of fashion and the way the system works, then the buyers aren't buying. But I never really paid attention to what's in.   Sharon: You closed your store. Now do you work out of your home or your studio?   Colette: I have a home studio, yes. I work out of my home.   Sharon: Do you have to go out and sell?   Colette: No, but I'm planning on opening up a showroom where people can actually buy things. I'm thinking about coming full circle and doing a line of leather belts and accessories and a little bit of jewelry as well, but I'm thinking about creating some leather pieces.   Sharon: Is that for stylists or is that for anybody who wants to come and look?   Colette: For anybody who wants to come in.   Sharon: Do they give you an idea of what they're looking for most of the time? Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't, as you said. But do most people coming in say, “I want something big,” or “I want something more muted”? What do they say?   Colette: You mean if someone came in and they wanted me to create something for them?   Sharon: Yes.   Colette: Sometimes they might come with a picture from a magazine or something and say, “I really like this,” in terms of style or size or whatever. So, I would create something with that feeling or those colors. Sometimes they bring a swatch of fabric to match, or sometimes they have an actual garment they want me to create something to go with. They might see something on my Instagram or on another person, something they saw someone else wear. It works in many ways. But if I were to create belts and bags again, I would do a line of pieces and people would just buy from what's already created.   Sharon: Because it's easier?   Colette: Yeah, because it's easier. It would be easier. With the belts and bags, they would just buy from a line that's already created.   Sharon: I can see how that would be easier than picking out jewelry or creating something to go with a garment.   We will have photos posted on the website.

He was fascinated with the concept of using the hands, without the aid of therapeutic machines, to treat the various tissues within the body in order to promote health. After graduating as a Certified Athletic Therapist in 2005, Darryl worked at various clinics before enrolling at the Canadian College of Osteopathy in Toronto in 2012. Around the same time, he was working as the Assistant Athletic Therapist at Seneca College. During this time, he was able to help varsity athletes get better by supplementing his treatments with osteopathic techniques. In the private sector treating the general public, he also noted that the general public also got better when they received some type of osteopathic techniques. Darryl enjoys playing many types of sports, but he has a great love for hockey, darts, and especially golf. He hopes one day to golf at the Masters (a guy can dream), but for now, he will settle for a round just about anywhere.   Connect with Darryl: Website: https://www.hands-onosteopathy.com/ Instagram: @hands.onosteopathy  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hands.On.Osteopathy.Markham   This episode is sponsored by gorendezvous.com – Want to grow your practice and get more clients?

“If you hear a smoke alarm, get out and worry about it being a false alarm later, come back in, laugh, cry, get angry about it. But you get to do those things now.” -Derek Gruchy, Program Coordinator at Seneca College of Fire Protection Engineering Technology Many of us might remember being taught to “Stop, drop, and roll” in school or being excited to get out of class for a fire drill with fretting teachers corralling rowdy kids into neat lines. Or maybe it was an accidental emergency with burnt food setting off the fire alarm. Whatever the case, fire is a (thankfully) rare part of our lives. Unfortunately, this rarity leads to unfamiliarity. We are often unprepared for fire, and fire safety continues to evolve as we learn from our mistakes. Especially in the building industry, changing materials and techniques require careful understanding for the best fire safety. Join us as expert Derek Gruchy shares insights on human behavior during fires, modern materials, fire safety, perspective on historical fires, and even tips you can implement immediately. Topics discussed in this interview:- The upcoming Metal Roofing Summit- Derek's unconventional path to fire safety- Seneca College and the Fire Protection Engineering Technology program- Important risk factors for residential fires- A few simple tips to protect yourself and your family- Modern construction materials and fire risk- Construction trends that need to go- High ceilings and residential fire- The Grenfell fire- Exit strategies and human behavior in emergencies- Balancing cost and fire safety in building materials- Steps you can take to educate yourself on fire safety- Electric cars and fire risk- Rapid fire questions If you'd like to stay updated on Seneca College, follow them on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies, and gentlemen — and the rest of you — in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite Rebels. I'm your host, David Menzies. Say, do you need to renew your passport? Then pack a sandwich and maybe even a tent, because your friendly neighbourhood passport office now resembles a realm that makes Hell look like a 5-star resort. Alexa Lavoie visited a chaotic Montreal passport office recently, where the lineup was so big that people were actually camping out overnight! Alexa has all the details… So, Seneca College and York University in Toronto share the same postal code, yet Seneca demands its students be vax'd in order to attend classes and graduation ceremonies whereas York does not. Why? Tabitha Peters will join me to try and unravel this latest COVID mystery… And letters; we get your letters; we get your letters every minute of every day. And I'll share some of your responses about my report on Recipe Unlimited, a Vaughan, Ontario foodservice leviathan that isn't so keen on flying the Canadian flag these days, Dominion Day be damned. Yep, yet another uber-woke institution has declared war on the Maple Leaf. Those are your Rebels now let's round them up…

We've got a couple of special episodes to close out season four of the Glass and Out podcast. We had the pleasure of being joined by longtime NHL coach Steve Spott for our first ever live episode of the podcast, which took place during TCS Live at the University of Michigan. Attended by close to 100 of our conference attendees at Conor O'Neill's Pub, recording this podcast was one of the many highlights from a truly incredible week in Ann Arbor. Spott has coached for close to 30 years and can be used as a great example of working your way up the coaching ladder, having made stops at just about every level of hockey. And while he was recently let go from his most recent gig in Vegas, there is no doubt he will find himself back in the NHL in no time. Listen as we dive into his journey from Seneca College to eight consecutive seasons in the NHL, how he's developed the technical aspects of his coaching and become known as a face-0ff specialist, and shares valuable advice that all aspiring coaches can take something from.

Welcome to Feedback with EarBuds, the podcast recommendation podcast. Our newsletter brings you five podcast recommendations each week according to a theme, and curated by a different person. Our podcast is an audio version of the newsletter. Subscribe to the newsletter: eepurl.com/cIcBuH This week's theme is Rewriting Black and Indigenous Histories. The curator is Chip Colwell, editor-in-chief of the SAPIENS magazine and executive producer of SAPIENS: A Podcast For Everything Human.Why did Chip choose this theme? "In the months following George Floyd's murder, the magazine and podcast I work on, SAPIENS, started a collaboration with the Society of Black Archaeologists and the Indigenous Archaeology Collective. This work culminated in a special season 4, which tells the stories of a new generation of Black and Indigenous archaeologists who are changing the way we think about history — and our future. During this effort, we learned that so many podcasters are part of a movement to rewrite and reimagine the events and people who made us who we are!” This episode is brought to you in part by Focusrite:Podcasting can be full of daunting concepts like gain staging and signal chains and waveform degrundulating (did you notice that we made that last one up?)

Paulette Hicks is an energetic, passionate, and highly driven manager. She is noted for achieving results by executing solid and focused plans. Her 27 years of experience as a successful manager within the Saint John Business Community has been recognized by her peers in receiving the President's Award by Tourism Saint John and nationally with the Hotel Association of Canada, HAC Humanitarian Award, and 2016 Women of Distinction YWCA. She has successfully managed the Delta Saint John, which includes the largest 4-star convention hotel18,000 square feet of prime conference space in Saint John, New Brunswick. The complex is owned and operated by Slate REIT. Paulette is highly experienced with exceptional strength in delivering financial results by revenue-generating strategies combined with well-managed margins and cost controls. She is an engaged manager who leads her team in a direct and clear fashion. She strives to achieve an environment that consistently delivers a positive experience meaningful to guests with empowered employees. Ms. Hicks is committed to developing and mentoring employees and attracting top talent to the company. As a high honors graduate of the Hospitality & Tourism program from Seneca College, she continues to enhance her education by working with the NB Community College and University of New Brunswick Saint John Hospitality Programs. Ms. Hicks has invested in the growth of the destination with her commitment to implementing the Destination Marketing Fee, adding an additional $800,000 annually in marketing dollars for the Saint John region. Ms. Hicks is community-minded and sincerely invests her talents and time into many initiatives, particularly poverty reduction. On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Paulette Hicks, CEO of Envision Saint John, about the amazing feat of successful inter-organizational collaboration she has pulled off in just a few short months. The regional growth agency she heads has embraced their new model of collaboration, and Paulette describes some of the creative promotions that they have already executed and seen successful results from and how they plan to build on those results in the future. What You Will Learn in this Episode: How Paulette moved from hotel management into destination marketing Lessons learned from starting a new destination marketing agency in the middle of a pandemic Why Envision Saint John wanted to go beyond the borders of the city and involve neighboring municipalities Paulette's advice for engaging multiple stakeholders in new and bold initiatives How cultivating a growth mindset has helped move Envision Saint John forward and align the stakeholders Some of the creative approaches Envision Saint John is taking in terms of messaging and programming including collaborating on a specially written song by local musicians The fantastic response they have had to their community handbook project and how they personalized them for different visitor groups Paulette's plans for building on the incredible success of the past 15 months and how Envision Saint John see the future of tourism in their region Aligning with Partners Knitting the community together was an important theme for Paulette as she built Envision Saint John. In this episode, she discusses how she was able to go beyond the city's borders and involve other municipalities in her organization's mission to attract more people to the area. The new agency brought in three legacy agencies in Saint John, which separated out property, business, and tourism under one umbrella, added a further five municipalities and created an agency that aligned around four central pillars of visitors, residents, business investment, and students. Paulette is committed to a full singular focus on growth for her entire region and has been doing a tremendous amount of work around strategy and collaboration to ensure that they're driving revenue and defining their brand. Growth and Abundance Growth mindset and abundance mindset are the terms that defined Paulette's vision of building on the impetus of Envision Saint John's first year. Her team and partners took those philosophies to heart when considering their past performance and where they want to be in five, 10, 15, and 25 years, as well as how they could create a community legacy so the young people of the area could build a life locally. Paulette took a deliberate and very thoughtful approach by listening to all the stakeholders in all the municipalities — including mayors, and town councils, to build a prospectus that they could present to tourism operators, businesses operators, entrepreneurs, and residents to ensure global buy-in for their plans. The overarching theme of being stronger together galvanized everyone to work hard for the future. Creative Collaborations Paulette also describes some of the “risky, bold, and different” collaborations that Envision Saint John set up, including an amazingly creative collaboration with high-profile local band Tomato/Tomato that highlighted all the things that local people loved about the area in a song which became the anthem of summer 2021. She also shares how they created a series of community handbooks personalized for the visitor and how the collaborations and campaigns started in 2021 will carry the organization forward into 2022 and beyond.

This week's guest is passionate – about life, about the role of business in creating positive change in the world, about making every day an adventure. Payman seems like he's done everything. He has lived in several countries, speaks several languages, is self-employed, and is excited about being alive. We talk about life being a series of spiritual lessons, what you can and can't control, about making your life impactful in the ways it can be.    KEY TAKEAWAYS - Inspiration can happen anywhere including in the most “regular” occurrences like washing dishes; you need to be willing to follow it whenever it calls. - Happiness is nobody's responsibility but our own. We have a responsibility to our own souls to find and create our own.  Your dreams are often a long-term investment. It's like a baby, you must feed it and care for it before it begins to pay off. Keep the goal in sight.  BEST MOMENTS “I see life as a buffet…I want to try as many dishes as possible.” “Follow your heart, follow something that…keeps it alive, makes it stronger day by day and minute by minute. That's where the magic happens.” “We all need to make money, but let's do it in a way that's meaningful, impactful and purposeful.” “I'm not afraid of dying. I'm not saying that I want to die today, but that I know when this life is over, it's not game over.” ABOUT THE GUEST    Payman is a serial entrepreneur who has lived in 10 countries on four continents. He speaks six languages. He is the founder of a movement called Leaders with a Heart and the podcast of the same name. He fully believes that capitalism can be a force for good and helps his clients build their businesses with a heart, a mission, and a purpose. Payman's specialty is in e-commerce, but he is also launching a brand of products made from sustainable leather. He has made a commitment to donate one pair of eyeglasses to a person in need for each unit sold. He has an associate degree in international business from Seneca College in Ontario Canada and is self-employed as a marketing consultant.
