When Captain Vancouver sailed this coast we live on as grateful guests, he called what he saw the dreary wilderness, broken up only by the numerous towns and villages of people who had lived here since time immemorial. But here, the south island, with its Garry oaks and Camus fields was beautiful and different and he marked so on his maps. The beauty of these lands and seas remains today, as does the unbroken relationship with them by the people who lived here before us. Co-op members acknowledge the territories of the different First Nations across BC where we live, work and play. We are centered in Southern Vancouver Island and we thank the Secoten speaking peoples for their hospitality.
We acknowledge that as British Columbians, we are responsible for the just resolution of the largest un-treatied land area in North America, a duty long neglected, and that the Highway of Tears is part of our community. We are treaty peoples, and we each choose daily whether we live here by agreement or occupation. We, the people who produce this guide, choose to live as guests who respect the hospitality shown us.

The primary social artifact affecting systems change is the colonial era. So to begin at a point that is not dependent on the dynamics of colonialism, we try and root our work in the substantial and sustainable social modalities prior to the era of colonialism. These are discoverable and usable for this work. On the west coast, we generally refer to all of this as 'decolonizing' the work. All systems are subject to these forces, our concern in this circle is the effect it has on research.

COURTESY
MANNERS
Courtesy is an internal quality each of us are called to cultivate in ourselves. Courtesy is based on the Golden Rule, "Treat others as you yourself want to be treated by others" We want the fewest controls possible that maintain safer space for everyone. Rules imply power. Someone makes the rules and they are followed or there are consequences. We want T'eVine to be a place where manners matter and rules are relaxed.
Manners are a persistent expression of courtesy And what matters is how each of us does that, so we speak this piece with I statements I am responsible, together with others to create safer spaces, so I:
Remember and respect pronouns Am responsible for what I say & do Am aware of the impact of my behaviour Acknowledge that everyone makes mistakes Am open to resolution when I make a mistake Courtesy requires self-discipline and self-regulation Remember that I may unintentionally trigger others which includes accepting that you along with all people Remember that others may unintentionally trigger me commit to building resilience in yourself to accept diver- Ask for consent before engaging in any physical contact sity in others and recognize that all: Assume that others are acting from a place of positive intent Have the right to self-define their own sexual orientaCommunicate my needs and speak up if I am uncomtion and gender identity, gender beliefs, gender profortable nouns and gender expression Respect the physical, mental and emotional boundaries of others Have the right to not be discriminated against due to Respect the physical, mental and emotional boundaries their gender identity or expression and such rights are of myself protected in Federal and Provincial law.

ETIQUETTE
DISCIPLINE
Etiquette is a set of examples of behaviours that demonstrate manners that express courtesy. Don't spam text chat or cause disturbances in voice chat Respect the purpose of each channel and comment accordingly. (stay on topic) Do not invite bots, use self bots, scripts, or automation of any kind. Unauthorized bots and users with self bots will get an immediate time out. Don't use any name, avatar, or custom status that is offensive, political or inappropriate. Slang for body parts would be an example. No advertising postings of any kind outside of the Classifieds. No private messaging, voice/text chat, usernames, and statuses to be used for advertising. Do not impersonate any one Attacking, harassing, insulting, provoking, or threatening anyone is not allowed Do not post any material that violates provincial or federal law Hateful generalizations of any group are not acceptable All chat must be appropriate for 14+ and broadly conform to CBSC standards found here. Some programs include adult content. You will be notified prior to admittance. Pornographic, erotic, kink, and suggestive profile pictures or usernames are not allowed, including links. Conversations about sex or drugs are permitted only in support related discussions. Follow any additional rules specific to any program
We acknowledge that progressive discipline is necessary to address behaviours that are problematic. First is the Soft Shoe This is a verbal warning asking you to stop the behaviour that is of concern. Second is the Boot. This is a private written warning that includes a chronology to date, including the verbal notice and any previous documentation. After second written warning, the user will be given a minimum one day Timeout, which is a separate area with no access to the normal channels. If a third written warning is issued to a user, they receive a Seven day Timeout and publicly listed in the Timeout list. Third is the Hard Boot. This is a ban from all T'eVine areas. You can appeal a ban to the Council of Gardeners, who will consider it at their next gathering if time and schedule allow. The process of how to appeal a ban is provided in writing when the user receives a Hard Boot. We reserve the right to ban or warn a user for reasons not explicitly stated, when behaviour does not respect the intention of these guidelines.

Practice Sentences During World War II, the boiler room under Harvard's Memorial Hall was turned into a secretive wartime research lab. Here, volunteers were subjected to hours of noise as scientists tested military communications systems. Out of this came the Harvard sentences, a set of standardized phrases still widely used to test everything from cellphones to VoIP. Each block of words contains all the phonemes used in common speech
