Kaethe passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family on September 7
She is missed by her daughter Bettina Rodenkirchen (Bob Curell)
as well as her great grandchildren Meshach
Germany and spent many happy years with her husband and children in Bavaria (Bayern)
The second half of her long-fulfilled life she lived in Kelowna
BC after immigrating to Canada in the 1970’s
She is now reunited once again with the love of her life Dr
who was an extremely accomplished pastry chef passed away when Kaethe was only eight years old
Her mother took on the task of single handedly running the family business – a café
even though the family lost most of their earthly possessions in 1942
Kaethe and her siblings supported their mother tremendously in the rebuild and worked in the business
Now you know how she came about her wonderful baking (and cooking) skills and her determination
Kaethe was very outgoing and made friends quickly
She deeply cared for her family and created an inviting warm home for her family and anyone that visited
She was proud of her grandchildren and great grandchildren who brought much joy in her later years
The family extends their immense appreciation to Dr
Steinruck for his wonderful care and compassion over many years
who were so very kind and helpful over the last 4 years and the staff at Interior Health and at Hospice House
Special thanks also for all the support she received from many friends

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed
courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time
They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things
They were prepared and respected any religious decisions
The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation
In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father
Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death
The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief
the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign
which took a huge burden off my mind at the time
From the time I called to the completion of all the services
There was a sense of caring from each staff member
I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone
I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision
I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring
I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use
No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home
I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve
Everything that was arranged for us was perfect
Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect
I liked the personal treatment given to my mother who is 97 years old
I found Springfield employees pleasant and sincere
was that the funeral home would help me get through the paperwork need at this time
Since this was my first experience (with a funeral home)
everything was above and beyond what I expected
Thank you to your team for your kindness to me at a very challenging time
You have now taken care of both of my parents with professionalism and care
Springfield Funeral Home is always professional
We appreciate that you have dedicated staff for all needs from planning the service to completing government paperwork
I am not sure there was anything you could have done to make a very intense emotional time less stressful
Although we hadn’t expected Ken to want a service
when he said we needed to have one for us not him
Your sincerity and compassion meant everything to us
your compassion and professionalism is truly amazing
super professional and caring as each guest arrived
Keep up the good work that you do as it is such an important service you provide
It is still the most difficult time in a person’s life
We appreciated the peace of mind that everything was being looked after
You provide a wonderful service for people going through a traumatic time
The kindness and professionalism shown by the staff at Springfield Funeral Home was exemplary
Clemson University and the University of Glasgow partnered some years ago to help animal and veterinary science students complete their bachelor’s degrees and
receive a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (BVMS) degree
which is the equivalent of a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) in the United States
The program is FEEPASS, or Facilitated Early Entry Program of Animal Science Students. The first Clemson student to participate in the program, Lindsay Rodenkirchen
graduates with a BVMS later this month (June 2021)
She is excited about the possibilities she has and will receive from this experience
“Coming to study in Glasgow through the FEEPASS Program is the best decision I’ve ever made in my life,” Rodenkirchen said
“It has opened the doors to a wide range of possibilities and I can’t wait to see where life takes me.”
plans to graduate with a BVMS at the same time
I’ve really grown as a person being in another country for 5 years,” Dann said
“You get to fully immerse yourself in another culture and make lifelong friends from different parts of the world
This is something that I would not have been able to do going to school in the United States.”
The FEEPASS agreement between Clemson University and the University of Glasgow began in 2016 with the help of Heather Dunn
who was a senior lecturer in Animal and Veterinary Sciences (AVS) at the time
I felt confident this was an ideal option for some of our AVS students,” said Dunn
who is now a research assistant professor in the Department of Bioengineering
“The University of Glasgow Veterinary Program provides an opportunity for graduates to practice veterinary medicine globally
the curriculum is organized differently from most vet schools in the United States
Glasgow veterinary school students begin learning clinical applications from the first day of class by integrating concepts of structure
The goal is to develop clinical and professional skills that students continue as they progress through the program.”
Today, Jeryl Jones
serves as liaison and advisor for the program
“This is a wonderful opportunity for students to finish their AVS bachelor’s degree while studying abroad,” Jones said
“This program also allows them to become totally immersed in a new culture while completing their studies and gives them a guaranteed seat in vet school without having to submit a Veterinary Medical College application.”
Clemson students apply for the program during their sophomore year
If they are accepted and complete admissions requirements
they can spend their fourth year in Glasgow and return to Clemson to graduate
They can then return to Scotland for 4 years of veterinary school at the university
Joyce Wason, director of admissions and student services manager for the University of Glasgow School of Veterinary Medicine
said they work with 12 universities in the United States that have animal science programs
“We know we are getting very good students who have experience with production animals when Clemson students participate in our program,” she said
“Graduating as a veterinary surgeon from Glasgow gives students the ability to travel and work literally anywhere in the world
The University of Glasgow School of Veterinary Medicine is accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons
the American Veterinary Association and the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education
Credits earned transfer back to Clemson so that students can graduate with a bachelor’s degree
Successful completion of the FEEPASS program also guarantees students a spot in the University of Glasgow’s veterinary school
She likes how the university structures its curriculum and that students are afforded hands-on opportunities the first week of class
“These studies are placements we have to plan and complete throughout the entirety of our degree,” Rodenkirchen said
“We are given a lot of freedom to tailor the placements towards our own interests
because I’m interested more in small animal medicine
I chose to see practice in a variety of small animal clinics around the world
These placements also help us apply what we learn in the classroom to real life
It has been especially helpful for me as a tactile learner.”
Rodenkirchen said she has been able to “broaden (her) perspectives on veterinary medicine,” as well as “explore and appreciate different cultures
and create friendships and connections with people” from all over the world
she doesn’t plan to go far after graduation
“Having this international community opens the door to so many new opportunities,” she said
“I have just accepted a job offer to work in a small animal general practice here in Glasgow
so I’ve decided to stay for a bit longer.”
Dann also has been in Scotland for 5 years – completing her bachelor’s degree and continuing on to receive her BVMS
“It gave me the opportunity to travel and study abroad
while also following my dreams of becoming a veterinarian.”
Dann appreciates the diversity she has discovered
we are taught a more worldly view of veterinary medicine to encompass the different countries people come from,” she said
“By completing most of my externships in the United States
I have been able to see first-hand the differences.”
Differences she has noticed include alternative approaches to some surgical procedures
such as performing a cat/feline flank spay to remove the ovaries and uterus for sterilizing a female cat
whereas the United States generally takes a midline approach,” she said
“This gives us another option for surgical approaches and we can tailor the procedure to the patient.”
she has played lacrosse and traveled around Scotland and to England for games
Dann was able to travel “a fair amount.” She went to France
the Canary Islands and all over the United Kingdom/Ireland
After graduating from the University of Glasgow
Dann is moving to Dallas to complete a 1-year internship in mixed animal medicine
she plans on “settling down and practicing in Campobello with (her) fiancé and dogs.” She met her fiancé
Other Clemson students participating in the program include Cleo Seger from Newport Beach
Support is provided for Clemson AVS students who want to participate in the FEEPASS program. Meredith Wilson, associate director for enrollment management in the Pam Hendrix Center for Education Abroad
said the Center provides advising for all students traveling abroad
“We help students navigate the applications and documentation required for both Clemson and the University of Glasgow,” Wilson said
“We also connect them to a financial aid advisor to ensure they have access to applicable funding during their experience abroad
provide pre-departure orientation and support to help prepare for the experience
as well as ensure that applicable coursework is transferred back to Clemson once their first year is complete.”
Pam Hendrix Center staff also provide all students with a health and safety app
The app not only feeds students’ pertinent information based on their location
but also allows Pam Hendrix Center staff and students to easily communicate if the need arises
they are provided support to help them become acclimated to the culture and achieve their goals

other universities that participate in the program are: California Polytechnic State University
University of Vermont and Washington State University

and the true story behind the medieval tale of the Pied Piper
in a conversation with Norbert Rodenkirchen of the renowned medieval ensemble Sequentia
We'll hear music from a live performance of his solo program Hameln Anno 1284: Medieval flute music on the trail of the Pied Piper
and preview his new CD with singer Sabine Lutzenberger of the music of 13th-century minnesinger Heinrich von Meissen
Let's begin with music of medieval minnesinger Wizlaw von Rugen
One of the world's enduring legends is the story of the Pied Piper
who rid the medieval city of Hamlin of its rats by luring them with his music into the river
only to return after a payment dispute and lure away the town's children
that there was a real Pied Piper-and this is the theme of Hameln Anno 1284
a CD and solo concert program by flutist Norbert Rodenkirchen
who is also a member of the renowned medieval ensemble Sequentia
Recently we had the good fortune to welcome him to the Texas Tech University School of Music
and talked with me about the program and the real person behind the Pied Piper legend..
which explores the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamlin
with Giuseppe Paolo Cecere on symphonia and Wolfgang Reithofer
Norbert Rodenkirchen's concert performances of "Hameln Anno 1284" program are a tour-de-force of solo flute
The narrator begins by presenting the actual historical background of the tale
moves onto the early versions of the story of the magical rat-catcher
and eventually to the disturbing tale as it is told by the Brothers Grimm
In our conversation after his concert here at Texas Tech University
Norbert talked about the process of discovering music from the time and place where the Pied Piper legend originated..
Here's more music of German minnesinger Wizlaw von Rügen
played on medieval flute by Norbert Rodenkirchen
with lutenist Giuseppe Paolo Cecere and percussionist Wolfgang Reithofer
Wizlaw came from the area where the legend of the Pied Piper was born; but he was just a young boy in 1284
there may have been a connection between Wizlaw and the flute-playing "relocator" who was the origin of the tale..
Here's music from the program "Hameln Anno 1284," recorded live at Texas Tech University
flutist Norbert Rodenkirchen played "The Longing Tune of the Ungelarte," a tune borrowed by the medieval minnesinger Wizlaw von Ruegen
The passage at the beginning was spoken by Dr
who provided the narration for the concert
Here's more about the German minnesinger Wizlaw von Ruegen..
play music of minnesinger Wizlaw von Ruegen and a traditional Slavic tune
Norbert Rodenkirchen's latest CD on the Marc Aurel Edition label is a collaboration with singer Sabine Lutzenberger
and features the music of German minnesinger Heinrich von Meissen
The name of the CD is In vergessenen Tönen
The "tones" referred to here are melodic and metrical poetic templates
with evocative names such as "the flight ton," "the green ton," or "the forgotten ton."
These musical forms become the vehicle for von Meissen's characteristically philosophical and contemplative lyrics
a "contemplation on honor" is written using the "Green Ton," as Norbert Rodenkirchen explains..
 Let's hear the "In the verdant countryside
I sit and reflect" lyric and music of the medieval German minnesinger Frauenlob
It's not easy to find English translations of Frauenlob's lyric
and it's a treat to read the beautiful translations by Meredith Beck included in the CD booklet included in the recording In vergessenen Tönen
One of the most intriguing lyrics on the CD is not by Frauenlob
but is actually a lyric by the German mystic known as Meister Eckhart
Norbert talked about the process of setting Meister Eckhart's lyric to music..
All things and nothingness emanate all around
and you will discover the way to the desert
All my being sinks into god's nothingness; it sinks into the flow without end
Norbert Rodenkirchen has been my guest on this week's edition of Harmonia
Our conversation took place after a concert and medieval music workshop at Texas Tech University
where he performed his "Hameln Anno 1284" program
parts of which we heard on the first half of this week's program
We'll end with one more piece from the new CD by Norbert Rodenkirchen and Sabine Lutzenberger
how wide; the end of all things is a square
As rich as the middle which joins it in good company
Yet only does the end have any say over perfection with all its stratum
this deed will never be achieved unscathed
Let's finish with "The End tells of the perfection of all things," a contemplation on form by the medieval German minnesinger Heinrich von Meissen

An example is that classical music is old — a tradition with roots deep in Western history
But old music is not necessarily classical
the group Sequentia performed quite old medieval music for the Music Before 1800 concert series
and in a way there was nothing old about it
Sequentia was a quartet: founder Benjamin Bagby singing and playing an Anglo-Saxon harp; Hanna Marti singing and playing harps; Stef Conner singing; and Norbert Rodenkirchen playing wooden and bone flutes
The seeming limits of the instrumental palette in terms of color and harmonic range (these were modern recreations of small
hand-held harps) were irrelevant against the fabulous singing from Marti and Conner
Classical music is a composer’s music
more like modern popular music than any sonata or concerto
Sequentia titled their Program “Words of Power: Charms
Riddles and Elegies of the Medieval Northlands,” and filled it with a variety of instrumentals
spoken riddles and songs meant to ward off bodily ills
but an abundance of everyday thoughts and words
and translate the words from Anglo-Saxon and Old High German
There are songs in the classical repertoire
but these were songs as known around the world — repeated melodies
with phrases and words marked out in clear
Baroque music turned the voice into an instrument
and a clear beat started to disappear in the 19th century
but they never left the larger universe of human music making — those qualities will always be relevant and have an expressive directness
As will the subjects Sequentia sang of Sunday
Sprinkled with mischievous Anglo-Saxon riddles
like patter with the audience between numbers
the songs were either practical — meant to cure worms
and manage swarms of bees — or diverting.
Bagby sang the elegy “The Song of the Lone Survivor,” familiar to anyone who has witnessed his remarkable performances of Beowulf
But the concert was built around three other elegies
“Deor,” “The Wife’s Lament,” and “Wulf and Eadwacer,” sung in Anglo-Saxon
These were sung in turn by Conner and Marti
one hears the abstraction and stylization of emotion into ornamentation and runs of sixteenth-notes
Put on Billie Holiday to feel the power of human experience in the singer herself
in her body and voice and thus straight to one’s ears and heart
not just telling stories but impressing them into the listener’s life
lost language showed they knew the meaning of every word
and the way they brought each phrase to finality on strong downbeats made the music urgent
Having words at the forefront is ironic in that illiteracy was common in Medieval times
in that notation was in its fledging state; there was little music to read
so musicians learned via listening and playing
And many of their songs were catalogues of people and places
and pass it down to subsequent generations
Musical content has been preserved this way
the songs less a body of work than work that lives in the musician’s body
Rodenkirchen soloed on “Lilia,” an ancient Icelandic instrumental
with a lovely and hypnotic melody sprinkled with quarter-tone passing notes
the sure tread of a half-step with exponentially more expression
He opened the last of the four short sets with another instrumental
A program note explained that it was transcribed and reconstructed by the flutist from his “research into the earliest possible written sources of instrumental music.”
That limns the edge of a timeless space where people tell stories and sing songs about love
it’s just singing songs we all know and love

both in solo performances as a singer/harpist (the Beowulf epic) and in collaboration with the singers and players of his talented ensemble Sequentia
At Jordan Hall on Wednesday evening they reached back several centuries earlier than in the usual Boston Early Music Festival fare to bring us a riveting series of “Charms
Riddles and Elegies” on Anglo-Saxon and Germanic texts
and played a six-string lyre-shaped Anglo-Saxon harp reproduced in Germany
and also wielded a traditional deer-hide drum from Vancouver Island
Other performers were Norbert Rodenkirchen
who played a small bone flute by Boston’s own Friedrich von Huene in addition to a variety of wooden cross-flutes and a 16-string medieval harp
Bagby structured the concert in four segments designed to draw us
First came the so-called “Merseburg Charms,” the only known examples of Germanic pagan belief preserved in Old High German
Compelling incantations by the two women in shrill unison urged on the Valkyries and called for the healing of a wounded battle horse
Bagby posed an Anglo-Saxon riddle in two stanzas that described first the physical structure of a “creature” and then its power
Assuming the persona of a tribal singer using a pentatonic melody of restricted compass
Bagby cited tales of famous men who suffered before recounting his own loss of status as singer to the king
More charms in Old High German and Anglo-Saxon followed: to bless a house and to manage a swarm of bees
The second program segment opened with an instrumental piece based on one of the few surviving melodies from the northern islands
Magnus hymn from a manuscript of around 1230 from the Orkneys
The two Anglo-Saxon harps accompanied what sounded like an improvisatory flight by Rodenkirchen on a sonorous wooden flute
More riddles from Bagby alluded to a quill pen and the fingers that command it
Stef Conner eloquently assumed the role of an Anglo-Saxon wife waiting and longing for her absent warrior husband
Concluding incantations aimed to chase away a litany of invasions of the human body
Rodenkirchen opened the third program segment with a beautiful rendition of the ancient Icelandic folk tune “Lilja” on the flute
Bagby’s performance of the “Dying Old Man” elegy from the Beowulf epic was equally moving
while incantations against the spider-dwarf and “little tumors” were downright frightening
The instrumental piece that opened the fourth and final segment was “deconstructed” back in time by Rodenkirchen from a 10th-century sequence by the St
based on the supposition that a multi-stanza Christian sequence might have been based on a pre-Christian melody from oral tradition
Three Anglo-Saxon riddles described household objects — bread dough
a butter churn — to which obscene doubles entendres could easily be ascribed — but were left to our imaginations
Hanna Marti performed her own reconstruction of the Anglo-Saxon “Wulf and Eadwacer” elegy with its haunting refrain
“It is different with us.” The poem is preserved in a manuscript known as the Exeter Book
but several of the poems included in the book are much older
and some of them have been dated as far back as the 7th century
The story of Wulf and Eadwacer is enigmatic
According to the most widely credited interpretation
being held prisoner on an island by Eadwacer
while Wulf (her lover or husband) is in exile
perhaps being hunted by the speaker’s people
her defiant isolation in the face of danger became palpable
Marti and Conner joined forces with Bagby’s harp and Rodenkirchen’s flute to invoke charms against bleeding that freely mixed pagan magic and Christian imagery
Bagby recited an elaborate charm that invoked Wotan
and finally Christ to drive out nine poisons from the body
The evening closed with the “Mill Song of Frodi’s Slave Girls,” taken from a 13th-century prose Edda in Old Icelandic
King Frodi hires two slave girls to grind out wealth and prosperity for him with a magic millstone
But remembering that they are descended from powerful mountain giants
they instead grind out an army to destroy him
Marti and Conner were menacingly convincing in their vengeful anger
the second part of each stanza shifting to the shrill tessitura of the melody’s upper final
It seemed to this uninstructed listener that both imaginative re-composition and a good deal of conjecture were brought to bear in bringing these “Lost Songs” to life
These are musicians steeped in improvisatory traditions
they have mastered obscure languages and made them their own in performances that are riveting as well as convincing
We are grateful for the varied-repetition structure of the program
for the complete texts and translations provided by Anglo-Saxonist Craig Williamson
and for projection of the translations on Jordan Hall’s screen
Sequentia promises detailed information about sources and reconstructions for the program beginning in summer 2019

Ella Rodenkirchen's father wrote a manuscript about his adventures at sea as a British merchant ship mariner
eventually became a journey for her into the self-publishing world to see her father's dream of seeing that manuscript turned into a book be realized
"I have to say for me it was a most fun journey
a surprisingly joyful journey for me to go on and see my father's dream realized," said Rodenkirchen
Rees died in 1966 while living in Edmonton
and the manuscript he had been working on about his younger days serving in the British Mercantile Marine as an engineer hit a dead end
It was his story about life at sea from when Rees started at age 21 in 1903 until he gave it up in 1914
The manuscript was passed on to his younger son
He in turn passed away in 1997 without making any progress on it
and then it was bequeathed to Rodenkirchen
"I was busy raising kids at that time and didn't have the time to deal with it either but when I retired in 2012
I turned my attention to self-publishing it," Rodenkirchen said
Her journey ended when the book was published in September
"I do not believe that my experiences have been unique
I am sure that there are many sailors with more interesting stories to tell
but who are possibly reluctant to recount them," wrote Rees in an introductory forward to his book
"Great changes have come about in the lives of the sailors of sixty or seventy-five years ago
compared to the comforts and safety afforded the modern 'sea farer.'"
Rees noted the British nation depended almost entirely on the ships and the men who operated them to further the economic interests of their country
"One of the things I realized in editing the manuscript was just how hard life was for people like my father working on those ships
We had all heard the stories growing up but you appreciate how difficult it was in reading his stories about being at sea," Rodenkirchen said
she says her father's exploits at sea make a great literary gift for anyone who enjoys reading about history and life at sea in the early 1900s
A True Life Sea Story is available at Mosaic Books in Kelowna

Aditi Sriram of Toronto is a Loran Awards scholarship recipient.Jennifer Roberts/The Globe and Mail
business: A list of careers that would impress any parent
There is no chance of that for the moment," said Hayden Rodenkirchen
who won the prestigious Loran scholarship four years ago and will be graduating from the University of Toronto this spring
"In a professional program everybody lives in a silo.… I try to let myself be governed by an internal compass."
Rodenkirchen is thinking about working to better connect social organizations to each other so they can more efficiently solve global health challenges
And he will help other Loran scholars who want his advice
Thirty winners of one of Canada's most elite university awards were chosen this month from what was an initial pool of approximately 4,000 applicants
They were primarily picked not for their high marks – although the scholarship requires a minimum 85-per-cent high school average – but for their dedication to public service and leadership
The award comes with $100,000 over four years in tuition and stipends
but the benefit of the Loran is not just in the money
It's in the constant testing and expanding of students' limits that happens over their undergraduate careers
"We want them to really go out into the unknown
We are really trying sometimes to destabilize them; that's where the learning happens," said Franca Gucciardi
the executive director and CEO of the Loran Scholars Foundation
students take part in a week-long wilderness expedition
They are strongly encouraged to study outside their home province
they are helped to find an internship – in a non-profit
Rodenkirchen worked at the Canadian consulate in Ho Chi Minh City
he arranged his own home stay with a local host family
Such international exchanges or co-op internships are the kind of non-academic learning that students increasingly expect all postsecondary institutions to deliver
many are facilitated through its alumni and mentors
the foundation is now fielding inquiries from universities on how to set up similar networks
Because they have seen what a difference mentors made in their lives
some Loran alumni are using the model to help students for whom university seems remote
"The students we are trying to get to are those who don't have a place to go," said Michelle Dagnino
the executive director of the Jane/Finch Community and Family Centre and a former Loran scholarship winner
but has gone on to a career in public and social work
When she signs up a mentor for the youth the centre helps
you should be someone who can potentially offer a part-time job," she said
Dagnino has adapted the boundary-pushing philosophy of the Lorans to the community centre
Her students go on trips outside the neighbourhood
it shouldn't feel like it's a world away," she said
are now thinking about their own journeys in the fall

explores the stigma surrounding mental health through a series of emotionally-charged black-and-white photos
Renée captured participants (sourced from her IRL friends and family)
and then as they emerged—a powerful visual that completely captures the tension between alternate feelings of crisis and relief
Here’s what she told us about working on the project
and how her own experiences fueled the series
Submerged opens May 4th 7-10pm in collaboration with Creator Class at Free Space and runs until May 6. Click here to learn more.
“I did a test project with [this series] when I was doing my MFA in documentary media
I didn’t realize how much the imagery would stick with me
especially going through this transition—leaving a full-time job and going freelance.”
“The show is about creating a dialogue around mental health
Everyone goes through ups and downs with emotions to different degrees
Part of this project is to get away from labeling and make the notion of crisis relatable
When we label those experiences with medical jargon
it creates barriers to talking about mental health openly
It’s about creating a commonality around mental health
I was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD that later turned into anxiety and depression
but it was always a battle until I was in my early twenties
when I figured out how to deal through taking the time to actually work through my shit
talking through what you’re feeling is really important
That was part of why I could get through what I did.”
“At first I wanted to have people I didn’t know
If people I knew felt like they connected to the piece
Why it was important to include a self-portrait in the series:
you can’t talk about it and not be vulnerable
I don’t think I could have done the project without being in it myself
I filmed myself underwater and then coming up to breathe
‘This looks cool.’ Then I was at a point where I had lost two very close friends and had gone into a super dark place—in retrospect
I was working through my feelings in my work.”
“I think it’s great on a societal level that we’re trying to be open about mental illness
I need to go home.’ I don’t think we’re at that point yet
Why dialogue (like the one she’s creating) around mental health is the only way we’ll break down stigma:
but we need to be able to talk about it with each other
Even though you feel alone in those moments
Are people going to judge me?’ At the end of the day
you’re not going to express yourself to the fullest extent of your creativity.”
Bagby sees himself as “a reconstructed singer of tales,” and his performances of medieval works (“The Lost Songs Project,” music from the Icelandic “Edda: The Rheingold Curse”) are invariably riveting— sold out year after year
Sponsored by The Boston Early Music Festival
Paul Church in Cambridge on Saturday night
founded and directed by Bagby and his late wife
have had a Hildegard von Bingen project ongoing since 1982
The only other performer on Saturday who also played at Wellesley was the enchanting transverse flute player
Most of the audience clearly came to hear the music of Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179)
knowing full- or at least partially- well who she was
Hildegard seems to have come out of nowhere
Efforts to canonize her were thwarted in the 13thcentury
enough of her music was collected to prove she was worth canonization
completed its 22-year project of recording her complete works (in CDs)
All the vocal editions were prepared by Bagby
and the few instrumental pieces (far too few) with harp and/or flute were arranged by Bagby and Rodenkirchen from Hildegard’s melodies
“Mystical Voices of Medieval Germany: Hildegard von Bingen: Celestial Hierarchy” took the last part of its title from Bingen’s “Symphonia armonie celestium revelationum” (symphony of the harmony of celestial revelations)
that indicated the poetic cycle’s divine inspiration
“Her visions included not only the visible reality of God but also his musical reality.” Her music
the program notes by Barbara Stühlmeyer insist
was inspired by the liturgy and written for it.” Her songs are “not examples of art music that are at home onstage and that can be arranged in effective ways depending on the performers’ inspiration and wealth of ideas.”
“Celestial Hierarchy” is also the title of Sequentia’s final CD of Hildegard
a nine CD set that will be released this March by DHM/SONY
and her creations were intended to be sung by the sisters of her convent on the Rhine at Bingen as a complement to the traditional Gregorian chant sung during liturgical and other functions
One can hardly imagine it being sung more beautifully than it was by Sequentia
A deep quiet and calm descended upon the spellbound audience
lasting the entire concert (performed without intermission)
I only wish there had been more use of the two instrumentalists
they played the liveliest music of the evening
a much-appreciated palate cleanser which broke the hypnotic spell of the singers
the thunderous applause at the end was almost unwelcome
I would have rather walked quietly into the cold night air and kept the haunting music alive in my memory a little longer
who sat quietly onstage most of the evening
enjoying the fruits of his and his wife’s devotion to unearthing and enhancing the legend of Hildegard
Comments Off on Hildegarde von Bingen’s Celestial Music
Picture this: you’re in an elevator on your way up to the third floor of the Shangri-La Hotel in Toronto (you also may have just had a Leo sighting in the lobby
you walk out to see your photographer taking photos of Glen Powell doing some sort of acrobatics on the sofa
Because Powell—who stars as astronaut John Glenn in Hidden Figures
the untold story of three brilliant African American women working at NASA
he had us laughing so hard for the entirety of the shoot
we all needed to sit down with iced coffees to cool off before he walked the red carpet of his premiere
we had him tell us all about what it was like making the film
but there are very few movies that make you stop and go
I have to be a part of this.’ One of the reasons you make movies is because they are executed by directors you've wanted to work with and include a cast that you want to work with
and obviously are based on a subject matter that is important
somebody I've looked up to since I was a kid [was amazing]
That's also something that makes you campaign for a role [like playing John Glenn]
Hopefully you try not to get so excited that you don't act like an icon when you're on the audition or look like you're too desperate for a job [laughs].”
On meeting the Octavia Spencer and Taraji P
I don't know how they do it—I was out with Taraji till like 5 AM the night of her birthday
[because she's] literally on it all day long
“Octavia and Taraji were so generous; when I was shooting
my little sister and my dad all got to be in this movie
My dad is in the scene during a press conference with everyone talking about the Friendship 7 launch and with the entire Mercury 7
and then my mom and my little sister are in the handshake line
Octavia and Ted [Melfi] were all very instrumental in making sure to strategically place them so that they were covered in every single lens
“I try to include the family in every movie I do
sometimes you get put on the cutting room floor
But we worked hard to make sure the Powell family got as much face time as possible.”
“Just going out with the whole gang [is special]
Taraji cooks for everybody all the time—she has people over to her house
This was one of those movie experiences where it was truly charmed from sun up to sun down
You had incredible textual basis for this movie in the book Hidden Figures
you had an incredible cast that came together
Usually you have the better stories of the thing that tend to go wrong
but it's nice to be part of a movie where everything goes right.”
“There was a lot of research to be done because there's so much that's written about [John Glenn]
there's plenty of footage all over the internet of John Glenn in the capsule that I could study
There was so much stuff to draw from in terms of John Glenn
“I think the real pressure was Taraji and Octavia and Janelle's characters
these women who are really the true heroes of this story
This story will never be on celluloid again and so I think the real pressure comes to those three women to play those characters and do them justice
I didn't feel like I had as much pressure
I just captured the essence of John and what he represented in NASA in the world at the time
that's a true weight—especially when Katherine Johnson came on set and you could look her in the eyes
I'm sure Taraji was feeling the heat [laughs].”
really special story about three amazing woman who with pure brain power
intelligence and the power of woman accomplished some amazing things that have affected the course of history
It's really [a story] about coming together to do something impossible
it's a feel good story—it's truly one of those movies that you move out to Hollywood to make
“I think the hardest emotion to get out of another human is the laugh-cry
where people are simultaneously laughing and crying
this is a movie that could melt your heart
make you see a part of history that's never been seen before and is obviously glorifying people who deserve glorifying.”
“By the way they did not show us any of the footage before we went up to the Q&A and Jenno Topping
I was so terrified because I realized that with actors you should always show them the footage ahead of time because what if they hate it?’ [Laughs] You know
actors are inherently narcissistic individuals
I could've played this moment so much better,’ it's all you could think about during your Q&A is like
[Laughs] Around the second time around you could kind of wrap your head around what you're seeing
But the best part about this movie is it's truly really good and everybody is so great in it
everybody walked up there invigorated and full of life and so excited to talk about the movie because I think the world is going to really like what they see.”
The first question I ask whenever I get on a movie is
Because they're gonna be on set and they're definitely going to be at the premiere
but usually before a premiere I'll be kicking it with the family because that is obviously where I live and love
and they will usually get me in the right head space
They're some of the funniest people I know
so it'll get me in the right head space to talk and be fun because they're a very
Henry Cavill [starring in it]—you’ve got a hell of a young cast for that one
so it'll be a Netflix movie and we'll be premiering top of the year.”
“If Martha Stewart had an adderall prescription” is how Luigi Tadini describes his creative soul mate, Nicky Balestrieri
while “Stavros and Susan” plays to both their alter egos
it’s safe to say that the self-described nonsexual life partners have a lot of nicknames and epithets for one another

Norbert Rodenkirchen is enamoured by the vital way that flute music has shaped Eastern and Western spirituality
The acclaimed German flutist will be exploring both mystical traditions in Vancouver
where he will play contemplative flute in two different spiritual venues
at a yoga gathering and in a downtown Christian sanctuary
Flute music is key to Eastern spirituality
And in Japanese Zen Buddhism there is the art of shakuhachi playing
which is very near to the sounds and moods of nature.”

The flute has also been significant in Western Judaism
It was used in the medieval era in Europe and in the time of King David
when Psalm 150 referred to expressing gratitude to God “with stringed instruments and flute.”
In line with how the popular practice of mindfulness is today largely associated with Eastern religions
Rodenkirchen will play contemplative flute in Vancouver in mid-November in collaboration with Beverly Ackhurst
who will lead audience-participants through “moving meditations.”
Rodenkirchen will be performing at another venue that reflects his belief that medieval forms of contemplation were based on music derived from Christian chant
In the short video below Norbert Rodenkirchen performs a segment of Tibia Ex Tempore:
Metro Vancouver residents will have the chance to experience Rodenkirchen’s interpretation of European meditative flute music on Nov
Before the Nov. 16 flute performance, Christ Church Cathedral Rev. Peter Elliott will join in conversation with Rodenkirchen at 6:45 p.m.
“I’ll want to talk about how music conveys an experience of the divine,” Elliott says.
“I’ve long been convinced that music as much as — and sometimes more than — words enable people access into the space where you are more receptive to the power of the Spirit. I’d be interested to know how Norbert has experienced this in his own work as a performer.”
The Vancouver Sun caught up with Rodenkirchen in Germany, where he answered some questions.
Q. Why do you think the flute can help people get in touch with the sacred?
A. The simple cylindrical flute is probably the oldest instrument of mankind. Even the Neanderthal people built flutes out of bone to express their inner feelings and to imitate nature´s sounds.
Because of its modulations in breath pressure — very similar to the human voice — the flute has always played an important role mediating between man and nature. In late antiquity, as well as today in East Asian traditions, the flute represents communication with the hereafter.
Q. How do you think a 13-century European audience may have responded to solo flute in a sanctuary?
A. We know from an important witness, Johannes de Grocheo in Paris, that instrumental music on flutes, fiddle, harp and other medieval instruments was highly appreciated as an invitation to contemplation, especially among those close to the cathedral school at Notre Dame.
De Grocheo wrote in his famous treatise, De Musica, that the spontaneous performance form called “stantipes” could prevent listeners from bad thought and would lead them to inner concentration.
Q. How does flute music relate to Gregorian chants?
A. Much of instrumental music until the 13th century was simply based on melodies of existing songs and hymns. Nearly all of the occidental vocal music in the Middle Ages was closely connected with Gregorian chant as its major source.
This was true even for the secular music. There was not a big distinction between sacred and secular melodies in medieval times at all. Both originated in Gregorian traditions and were highly valued.
Q. Why do you think the medieval mystic, Meister Eckhart, would have thought the sound of the flute could mediate between humans and the divine?
A. As well as other German medieval mystics like Hildegard of Bingen, Eckhart described visions of sound and light in which concrete forms of visual and acoustical sensations — what we today call art and music — are just symbolic manifestations of sound and light in a sphere beyond the actual reality of time and space.
Q. Would this form of meditative music have been available to the masses in medieval Europe?
A. Contemplative art and mindful thought should always be available to anyone open to it. But through the ages contemplative traditions were appreciated mostly by initiated people who had a spiritual interest in the meaning of life, such as people in the monasteries or at the cathedral schools.
Q. What can today’s listener to Tibia Ex Tempore expect to gain from opening themselves to the seamless stream of melodic fragments in your flute improvisation?
A. Music always has more than one dimension. But, among other things, I deeply hope to reach the inner soul of the listeners.
I also hope that I will be able to offer a new intensive perception of time for listeners, who will hear music in very wide and slow wavelengths, like a huge, long breath.
This is the complete opposite to the quickly changing sounds that take place in today’s popular music, which has cuts that occur within microseconds. I must say, though, that I also adore pop music in other contexts related to joyful and ecstatic dance.
A. I regard contemplation and meditation as the most prominent and noble quality of music.

the most challenging film I’ve ever produced,” James Wilson says
Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest,” only the fourth film in the 24-year feature career of the British director of “Sexy Beast,” “Birth” and “Under the Skin,” is in some ways the unlikeliest of this year’s 10 Best Picture nominees
A purposefully dispassionate chronicle of a subject — the Holocaust — unusually approached with enormous passion
it follows the daily life of a German family that lives in Poland during World War II
is the commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp
which sits just over their garden and from which screams
shouts and smoke occasionally disturb the lives of Rudolph (Christian Friedel)
his wife Hedwig (Sandra Hüller) and their children. (The film was shot not in the real Höss house
but in a different house just outside the walls of Auschwitz.)
The camera never goes over the wall and into the camp
and the film takes place without a single closeup
as if the camera itself doesn’t want to get too close to these people. Though the film takes its title from Martin Amis’ 2014 novel of the same name and is ostensibly based on that book
it jettisons Amis’ plot to tell a simple story in a way that is both rigorous and chilling
Since its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival
the runner-up prize to the Palme d’Or won by “Anatomy of a Fall” — the movie has caught the attention of voters
Best International Feature Film and Best Sound
and it won BAFTA Awards for Best British Film and Best Film Not in the English Language
Glazer himself has been largely absent from the awards circuit.“He’s not super relaxed or comfortable being what he calls ‘in front of the film,’” his producer
I would think that when you’re making a movie this uncompromising
“How is this going to appeal to awards voters?”That is probably the easiest “yes
you’re right” of any question I have been asked since the launch of “The Zone of Interest” in Cannes in May
It refutes narrative form — it hasn’t really got a story in the traditional sense
I’m still scratching my head every so often because our thoughts couldn’t have been further from that
nine-year journey of making the film and where one thought it might have sat in the ecosystem
and that has to be something that developed slowly over a period of time.Yes
especially for what you might think of for Jonathan Glazer
And I don’t think it isn’t strikingly visual
if you think about the thermal imagery in it and certain other parts of it
But it’s a restrained film and it is rigorous
and there’s a certain kind of austerity to it
There were consistent things about the philosophical vision of the film and the questions it was asking
He and I had been talking and thinking about the subject matter — the subject matter being National Socialism
A Nazi concentration camp from the point of view of the people who run it
shown from a largely domestic and private perspective
That felt like a frame that would ask some really interesting questions about complicity and compartmentalization and indifference
But the form of what that would be did take a while to develop
Jon was writing the script for about five or six years
The book is a novel set in a fictional concentration camp with fictional characters
and the commandant’s wife is having an affair with a high-ranking executive
Jon very swiftly decided that he didn’t want to do that
He didn’t want there to be any story that Auschwitz was the backdrop of
and we very quickly realized that the novel is based on Rudolph Höss and his family
As soon as Jon found out about the Höss family and visited Auschwitz
of how the camp is literally on the other side of their garden wall
Rudolph and Hedwig and that life that they lived.” And the book at that point was put in a drawer and never returned to
Then it was this process of gathering information and discussing philosophy
He had ideas that were much more expressionistic and heightened
you would think it was the opposite of the movie we made
So although it became something not expressionistic in terms of the main body of the film
there were other sequences that were different
the sequence of the Polish girl who leaves fruit for prisoners
It was based on a real 90-year-old woman who he met
“I want that in the film.” But she did it at night (when she was a teenager)
and he had this rule about no movie lights
We found this thermal-imaging camera that has this extraordinary
all of these different film languages are in there
it’s a key decision to have the camera stay on the outside of the wall at Auschwitz — to say
“You’re going to hear what’s on the other side of the wall
but we’re not going to take you there.” What was the thinking that went into that decision?We always wanted the majority of the film to take place in the domestic world
you did go over the wall and there were sequences and scenes in the camp
There was also a sequence where Höss went to a meeting at the IG Farben factory
which was one of the largest factories in the world
That’s why Auschwitz was built at that site
because it was conceived in tandem by the SS and Farben
and they wanted free slave labor from the camp
And we wanted to have a scene there because we wanted to talk about the link between economics and the Nazis in a less familiar way than the Holocaust is normally narrated
We had a draft where there was much more stuff
let’s bring them into the house and the garden.” A neat example of that would be the big meeting at IG Farber
which became a meeting in the house with the oven engineers from Topf and Sons
which is the real engineering company in Germany that built the crematoriums
The image of Höss’ boots being washed and a rivulet of blood running out is similarly a sort of haiku of a sequence
Jon did write a scene where you went over the wall and saw the aftermath of death and murder
I don’t want to do that.” It became a principle not to do that
Did it take a toll on you to be at Auschwitz making this movie?It took a toll
the most challenging film I’ve ever produced
but I would imagine that it was for most of us who made it
One part of that was being in that place that has a great gravitas to it
I think everyone responded to it in different ways
And when we were working on the development
“Perhaps what the film is asking is not ‘How could these ordinary people do such terrible things?’” — which is the “banality of evil”-type idea — “but ‘How much like them are we?’”
you can understand that the film stands against an idea of Holocaust exceptionalism that says the Holocaust is a mythical event that’s outside of history and outside of human understanding and can’t be represented
although I understand where those impulses come from
because you refute analysis and history if you’re saying
this just happened because there are monsters.”
I think that the film is trying to suggest that it’s not a mythical place
The Holocaust didn’t just happen in Auschwitz
The Holocaust happened in all sorts of places
And the impulses and the desires and the drives and the fears that are being marshaled — the scapegoating of people so that they can be dehumanized and disposed of or enslaved — are universal ones
I hope that doesn’t sound grandiose or pretentious
but I think you have to resist that comfortable demonization of Auschwitz
because we should be thinking about everything

We like to think we have a go-to phrase here at TC HQ: WWID
We figure that when it comes to imagination and style
there’s no one quite as inspiring as Iris Apfel
And putting yourself in the Iris mindset works for all sorts of situations: what would she do
We’ve really always wanted to find out—‘cause you know that after more than a few decades as the ultimate purveyor of extraordinary taste
Press play and read on: this is Iris with no filter
"[I’ve found my clothes and antiques] all over the world; I travelled extensively
For my business I used to do two trips a year
I had a big interior design business of my own and I also sold antiques through the Old World Weaver showrooms around the country
Then there were a number of my own things that I've collected over the years
long collection from all over the place."
"It has to jump out and say something
I like offbeat things; I have very few run-of-the-mill things
I have a lot of pieces that are from other periods that may fit perfectly
but are not the usual thing that you would see
You can't do houses and have everything you need right at your fingertips
and clients don't like to wait too long
So whenever I saw unusual things I bought them—in all kinds of crazy places
I've had to cut down drastically as I’ve run out of wall space
I still buy small things that appeal to me and I still collect jewelry with a vengeance.”
"I just bought a wonderful pin recently; it's all pavé stones and must be about eight inches high
When you look at it at first it looks like a 19th century dandy
The gentleman has a long frock coat and interesting hat
but it's a trembling piece—its head wiggles
"I found [my signature glasses] at a flea market and I started to wear them when I needed to wear glasses
I liked them so much—the great big ones—sometimes I’d wear them without any lenses
as I thought they were so fantastic."
"I still have the dress I wore on the first date with my husband
"There were a few decades that I hated
The world is not black and white; there are lots of shades of grey
There are good things and bad things in every era
and I think it's kind of very blindfolded to say one era was wonderful
but there were a lot of bad things as well
but people were doing some wonderful things
I go from one to the other and I like to mix them up
as you never know what you're going to find—I always tried to keep an open mind
I could find a treasure in a junk shop or junk in a very elegant emporium."
"My father told me once not to expect anything from anybody so I wouldn't be disappointed
If somebody was nice and did nice things for me I should be overjoyed
but I shouldn't go through life expecting it
"It's very eclectic—everything I like
I think there's a lot of wonderful decorating around
While some of these homes are very beautiful
They could be suites in very expensive hotels
but they don't tell you who lives there
I like an apartment that has some personality
"The anonymity of it—it's all too similar
I think people should express themselves more and not just buy what's in
While it can be very beautiful and it may suit you perfectly
I'm sure it doesn’t suit everyone in the same way
I like people who express themselves and are more individualistic."

Amelia shows how to expertly employ them to dress up a bodysuit and a pair of classic cutoff blue jeans
while Delilah works them as a neutral alongside a sparkly two-piece suit set and statement earrings
Coveteur: A day in your shoes: What does it look like?Amelia: I usually like to stick to a sneaker as long as I can, but usually that doesn’t last long, so either a good chunky boot or a strappy heel.Delilah: I wear up to 3 different shoes a day, haha. I wear slides in the morning, then switch to sneakers
then for the night I usually wear a heeled boot
Coveteur: You’re California girls—what do you need for a day at the beach?Amelia: Towel, umbrella, sunscreen
and SNACKS!!Delilah: Bali Body tanning oil
Coveteur: Favorite song right now?Amelia: “Get You” by Daniel Caesar.Delilah: “This World” by Selah Sue
Coveteur: Favorite pair of Stuart Weitzman shoes from our shoot?Delilah: I liked the over-the-knee suede grey boots
I’d wear them with a big baggy black shirt or dress to make the outfit grungier.Amelia: The neutral pump
It goes with everything but can add a little accent to a casual outfit
Turns out the trick to dressing up a white tee and pulling off a corset are one and the same: Pair them together
then finish off with a pair of combat-cool trousers with lace-up details
A heeled pair of Stuart Weitzman Clinger booties in black are equally as versatile
The subdued slate grey hue adds a refined feel to thigh-high suede lace-up boots—making them all the better to pair with a patent miniskirt
Coveteur: Fairfax or Melrose?Amelia: Melrose
Coveteur: Favorite hidden gem in the city?Delilah: Mulholland
what do you miss most?Delilah: The restaurants
and being able to hike in the mountains.Amelia: Sleeping in my own bed
I love a good shoe you can dress up or down.Delilah: I love boots
The perfect contrast to a gritty pair of combat boots
menswear-style blazer for a hint of polish
and a pair of pleated shorts to show a little leg
Let velvet ankle boots be your closet’s MVP this fall
Wear them with everything from slinky separates
to a simple jeans-and-tee for a hint of sleek texture
Coveteur: Your favorite spot to take someone from out of town is…Amelia: The Nice Guy
The food is so good.Delilah: The Nice Guy and Delilah
Coveteur: Something people don’t know about you
I’ve always wanted to be an astronaut…Delilah: That I’m super interested in criminal psychology and plan on studying that in college
what does your sister do to chill out?Amelia: Watch Criminal Minds
I try my best to stay cozy in hoodies and pajamas
but in other cities I focus less on comfort
and more on trends.Delilah: I usually dress more casual in L.A
I’ll wear sweats and heels out to a dinner
But I definitely take more risks with my style in L.A
Larry David-ian dilemma: the euphoria that comes with canceling plans
There’s a lot of talk about our generation’s likeliness to opt for Netflix and chill(ing) over an all-night rager
We all occasionally make plans we know we’re going to inevitably wriggle ourselves out of—it’s all in how you go about taking advantage of your reclaimed evening to yourself
Take a page from Poppy Delevingne—who, as she demonstrates in the video above, is something of a professional in the arena. Of course, when you’re cozied up in a dreamy suite at The Bowery Hotel (that bathroom!) and an endless supply of Jo Malone London products
it’s hard not to find a reason (or two dozen) to try to stay in
Once you draw yourself a rose-oil-doused bath
and start creating your own bespoke scents by layering your favorite Jo Malone London together—your original plans for a night out are bound to take the back seat
offering up their best-selling scents in a series of convenient sets
Poppy shares her signature scent combinations
the sweet stories behind her favorite fragrances
and the perfect binge-watch accompaniments to your next night in
Basil & Neroli Candle + English Pear & Freesia Diffuser:
Red Roses Bath Oil + Lime Basil & Mandarin Candle:
the Basil is very old-school—a fragrance I grew up with
It’s very sumptuous and is nice when you’re putting fragrances together
Red Rose is a fragrance that’s very feminine
Peony & Blush Suede Body Creme + Orange Blossom Cologne:
“This combination would probably be the prettiest
Tuberose Angelica Cologne + Orange Blossom Cologne:
note: Poppy’s limited-edition fragrance set for the brand]
and the Orange Blossom Cologne is nice and light
The combination can be whatever you want it to be.”
“One really unexpected one that I never knew is when you put fragrance onto your wrist
and you literally empty out the bottle all over you
Then the fragrance walks into the room before you even do
when you’re even just still a little bit damp
“I was really inspired by wearing Orange Blossom Cologne to my wedding
Date Night: “Incense & Cedrat Cologne is my favorite
It’s not too far away from Tuberose Angelica for me
I need to give this one a little bit of an edge… Maybe Pomegranate Noir
Sometimes I think it’s a little bit masculine.”
Crazy Workday: “I would always turn to Red Roses
It’s the fragrance I get the most compliments on
I feel like if you’re going into an audition or a meeting
and I feel like Red Roses could be that talking point
I’d say 90 percent of the time that I wear it
Weekend Getaway: “Definitely Wood Sage & Sea Salt
they have these beautiful orange blossom trees
Night Out: “I would say Peony & Blush Suede
It reminds me of being with my girlfriends
London: “I would definitely say Basil & Neroli
it reminds me of sort of wet pavement and late nights.”
“I wore a certain fragrance to fashion week
and it will always remind me of the shows I saw or being with that one person
I love the sensory overload you get with fragrance.”
You know that thing where Valentine's Day is coming up
and the fact that we can never get enough of love
we're launching a brand new video series
A cross between the Newlywed Game and indulging in a good old-fashioned love story; here you'll meet some of our favotire duos and find out how they met and how much they actually know each other
This is a team sport: from husband-and-wife and husband-and-husband
And trust us when we say that they all have a lot of personality to spare
Harry and Sally have got nothing on these meet-cutes
but here’s the thing: they’re actually friends in real life
And watching them slumber party in a king size bed recalled all our junior high angst
Except that they were way nicer and actually let us in on their relationship—i.e
what it’s like to be part of the Angel club and shooting in St
Did you guys catch the first episode with fashion power couple Zanna Roberts Rassi and Mazdack Rassi
we’ve got Paper Magazine’s dynamic duo and twin sisters with a weakness for Moschino
you know we're suckers for a story about a woman founding her own company and shaking up her respective industry
But to do that three (count 'em: three) times over
the first of which was co-founded with Diane von Furstenberg
we'll put it this way: we're kind of in awe of Sylvie Chantecaille
the founder of Prescriptives (remember when your mom took you there for your first cosmetic
Thank Chantecaille) and the namesake jewel in her crown
we'll catch you up: it's the intensely luxurious beauty brand that utilizes the crème de la crème of natural extracts (their rosewater spray is the only one on the market made from 100% $$$$ Rose de Mai) and marries them with up-to-the-second cutting edge science
brand-spanking-new Bio Lifting Cream+ is infused with 10 million plant stem cells (!) to plump
we sat down with Chantecaille in her Soho offices to chat Chinese medicine
only being a virgin once (it'll make sense soon
ON HOW SHE GOT HER START IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY WITH DIANE VON FURSTENBERG:
"I grew up in Paris as the daughter of art collectors
I started a company with a girlfriend of mine
We started a small company that was very successful
and Estee Lauder approached me to start a new company for them
I spent 18 years with Prescriptives and eventually left to create my own company
"Chantecaille first started as a fragrance company in 1997
I realized that my passion for great skincare
Chinese medicine and aromatherapy were bursting to be created into a line of beauty
with the ultimate desire to make products that were great for women
healthy and technically very advanced."
ON WHAT SETS CHANTECAILLE APART FROM EVERY OTHER BEAUTY BRAND OUT THERE:
with different scientists and technical labs chosen for their strengths in particular aspects in our business
our skincare in Switzerland and all of our fragrance in France."
"If I don’t start with a good Earl Grey tea
I’m making an effort to try to go out for lunch because if you have lunch with someone
I’m French–we always have lunch in France!"
because I am dealing with all the different aspects of the business
Dealing and communicating with our international offices take a large part of the day
is sitting down with people and creating new campaigns
Our job is very varied because we do so many different things
It’s not just creating a beautiful eye shadow or beautiful cream which is why it’s so much fun."
ON WHAT MAKES THEIR LATEST BIO LIFTING CREAM+ A TOTAL GAME-CHANGER:
"This is a product that we’ve worked on for a long time
because it was one of our richest creams for anti-aging
Daphne Stem Cell Extract and Raspberry Stem Cell Extract
the most powerful science to give the face a real 3-D lift
Lifting the face isn’t an easy thing to do–but accomplishing it with a cream that is suitable for most skin types is a true feat."
ON THE INTENSE R&D PROCESS BEHIND THEIR LATEST AND GREATEST (THEY CREATED ACTUAL STEM CELLS
there have been incredible new developments in the world of science
and we have been on the forefront of using these discoveries
creating new plant stem cells that are targeted to getting results on lifting and protecting the skin
The R&D process was all about working with new technology and gathering new research from all around the world
using new plant stem cells clearly directed towards collagen enhancement."
ON THE PRODUCT SHE JUST CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT:
Every Chantecaille product has to be my favorite
I can’t live without our Pure Rosewater–I can’t fly on the plane without it
I can’t wake up in the morning without it,and I can’t go to bed without it
This is the only rosewater that is made from 100% of the very
There is nothing else in it but the extract from 1,000 petals in each bottle."
"It depends where I am–my beauty routine is different whether I’m in a warm climate, at home, or on a boat.I always start my day with a great generous spray of our Pure Rosewater. Right now, I am using a couple drops of our Bio Lifting Serum and our new Bio Lifting Cream +
ON THE BIGGEST LESSONS SHE'S LEARNED IN GROWING THE BRAND:
ON HER BIGGEST SUCCESSES (AND HOW THEY HAVE TO DO WITH BEING FRENCH):
"Foundation was always a huge success for us
We built our brand on highly neutral and natural looking skin
I believe in natural skin and I don’t like heavy coverage
Future Skin and Just Skin are completely innovative types of products that we revolutionized and created a huge customer following
Skincare has been enormously successful for us
People are amazed at the quality and the results
We have developed a huge cult following for our skincare all over the world
The other thing that is always very successful for us is our eyeshadow palettes
which are the base for discussions on problems that are extremely urgent in the world
They are always focused on an endangered species with particular stress at the time or an issue within our planet that needs to be explained and highlighted
We feel very fortunate that our business can be the spokesperson for those who don’t have a voice
it is what gets me up in the morning and makes me want to continue working as hard as I do."
ON THE STRUGGLES OF HEADING UP YOUR OWN BEAUTY BUSINESS:
"The only struggle in running your own business is the multi-faceted questions that arise everyday
It is very complicated being a manufacturer
a voice and a distributor all at the same time
Most people who start their own company usually give up
because of the sheer overwhelming quantity of work that comes with owning your own business
It will soon be 17 years and I’m not bored yet!"
"The biggest perk of my job is that I can make my own decisions."
ON HER APPROACH TO AGING (& THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE):
Frankly you don’t believe it and maybe that’s the best approach
I believe in doing what you can to make yourself happy but not putting too much energy into the concept of aging
It should allow you to feel amazingly good about yourself."
"I stay innovative by constantly reading
"I’m always reading 2 or 3 books at the same time
I’m reading West With the Night by Beryl Markham
I also just read Circling the Sun by Paula McLain
which is written about Beryl Markham and just came out recently
I’m also reading my friend Carl Safina’s book
which is about what animals really think and feel
I read The Economist and I get BBC News on my iPad everyday
I literally run through all of the fashion magazines
ON HOW DIGITIZATION IS CHANGING THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY:
it’s not really changing the beauty industry
The beauty industry is still based on human contact
It’s one of the only businesses where the relationship between the person who sells you a product and yourself is key
The digital age hasn’t replaced that–it can inform you about products
The human relationship is still extremely important."
ON THE BEST CAREER ADVICE SHE'S EVER RECEIVED:
When you launch a new store or new product
but I always practice this: be nice."
ON HER ADVICE TO ANYONE ASPIRING TO WORK IN BEAUTY:
Try to learn about the people you are interviewing before you meet them

Scientists say we are living in the loneliest era of human civilisation. Dallas Green, aka City & Colour, tells Lauren Baxter why his "pill for loneliness" will always be music.
To be alone is not the same as being lonely; it is a neutral disposition. “Somebody gave me shit the other day when I was doing an interview,” Green laughs. “She was like, ‘How can you call the record A Pill For Loneliness and then the first line of the record be, “I'd rather walk alone”?’ I was like, ‘Well sorry, there's a difference between being lonely and being alone.’”
For Green, his “pill” for loneliness has always been music: “Music has always been this thing that I could look to whether it's writing or listening to it, and I think that there's a lot of people that would agree with me and feel the same way.”
"Fuck, I can't believe we're living in a world where we are so alone that we're trying to create a pill to get rid of it."
The album, his sixth and first since 2015, is described in the press release as being a lot of dark songs wrapped in beautiful sounds, something Green affirms is an “apt description”: “I always sort of write melancholic type songs. It’s what I do to get myself out of those moods [but] I always try to make it a little bit hopeful. And I always try to make the songs somewhat ‘pretty’ sounding to be a juxtaposition of what I’m singing about.”
It’s “pretty” of course but also the most expansive we’ve heard Green sound in solo form. “It’s definitely the most, for lack of a better word, epic sounding record I’ve ever made,” he says. “I mean, I love music like that and I’m always interested in trying something a little bit different than what I’ve done. But I still wanted to sound like me.”
Wandering is a motif that comes up again and again in Green’s songwriting but he tells us “Canada will always be [his] home”.
“Whenever I come back home after a long tour, or even a short trip, if I'm not in Canada, I feel it. As soon as I get back across the border, I just feel it. You feel home. And I'm very happy about that. I'm very lucky to feel that way about where I'm from. But you have to want to wander in order to survive this style of living... Being on the road, it's a difficult way to live. I feel like it's also home in the same way.”
After living in Nashville, returning home to Toronto meant Green was able to reunite with Alexisonfire and release the band’s first music in nearly a decade. They had initially broken up because “creatively [Green] wanted to go explore another side of [his] musical brain”.
“It was great to be back playing with each other and actually working on new material. I don't know if any of us thought we would ever do that again,” he admits.
A period apart also saw each member bringing new experiences into the studio. “The last time we were in the studio together was about ten years ago. I think between myself and Wade [MacNeil], and Jordan [Hastings] our drummer, we've been in the studio non-stop since doing other projects. So it was cool to go back in after ten years of having more experience on that side of things as well.”
Green just flew across the world to play an exclusive show as part of Brisbane Festival. “Anybody that knows me knows that I would jump at any chance to go to Australia,” he laughs. True to his word, he’ll be back in April next year.

Moving to another province for school is not considered radical, even if it is unpopular. When picking a school, few of my friends thought about the physical location of their school. Only 1 in 10 Canadian undergraduates elect to study outside of their home province
When I decided to study in Toronto the response from friends and family was muted with the exception of a few obligatory jokes at the East's expense
Some questioned it: "Doesn't British Columbia offer all the same stuff?" Others accepted the decision but considered it basically superficial: "I guess it makes sense to change the scenery once in a while."
Both responses were backed-up by the same assumption: There is little difference between school here and school there
I accepted the conventional wisdom and chose to attend the University of Toronto because they had programs I liked
Three years later I am happy with the decision but also realize that I did not consider at the time just how much of a challenge moving would be
high-school seniors should consider moving 'in-broad' more seriously and more often than the numbers suggest that they do
When I first awoke in my Toronto dorm room things looked similar to home and I was confident I could take on Ontario as a British Columbian
Ontario took on the eerie feeling of a once familiar house now inhabited by strangers
Everything looked the same as back home – if a bit better dressed – but functioned differently
Discussions about skiing now had limited social purchase
Everybody wanted to know what everybody else ' does'
Their triviality didn't make them any less dizzying to internalize
At times it felt existentially challenging to change my perspective
old friends would note that my priorities no longer seemed entirely 'B.C.' – an unthinkable prospect for a K-town lifer
Living in Toronto distilled my vague nostalgia and angst about home into clear likes and dislikes
Now absent the apple trees and the relaxed attitudes of B.C.'s interior
Stripped of the beach-going social scene that I always said was one of Kelowna's best features
Perhaps the greatest take-away from the whole experience has been a sense of personal identity which goes deeper than the ground I stand on
Something about being caught in the middle – breaking-in at the University of Toronto despite being 'from out West' while remaining engaged and happy at home despite my sometimes unfortunate status as 'Mr
Toronto' led to a new sense of self-efficacy
The extent of these differences must vary from province to province and from city to city
some of the stumbling blocks I've encountered here are facets of university life as opposed to Ontarian quirks
I believe the principle is a sound one: Students in our country may benefit from grappling with more of it
