Two tales braided by one question: what happens when the things meant to protect us—skin and silence—start letting something else in?

What does “one altar” really mean? Father Brad breaks down the theology, art, and forgotten wisdom behind the Church's design.Morning Offering, November 9, 2025Every morning, join Father Brad as he begins the day with prayer and reflection. In a few short minutes, Father Brad guides you in prayer, shares a brief reflection grounding your day in the Church's rhythm of feast days and liturgy, and provides you with the encouragement necessary to go forward with peace and strength. Disclaimer: The ads shown before, during, or after this video have no affiliation with Morning Offering and are controlled by YouTubeLet us do as the saints urge and begin our days in prayer together so as a community of believers we may join the Psalmist in saying, “In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.” (Psalm 5:3-4)________________

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 잘 세워진 남자| The One with Dr. Timi Adepoju On Becoming a Well-Built Man: Faith, Balance, and the Architecture of Leadership| Episode 33 (2025)To close out our Prostate Cancer & Men's Wellness Awareness Series, we sit with Dr. Timi Adepoju, a physician, leadership coach, entrepreneur, and living proof that adversity can be a launchpad.From growing up in Ibadan during Nigeria's era of scarcity to building thriving clinics and leadership programs in the U.S., his story is a masterclass in grit, grace, and growth. He reflects on how childhood lessons, faith, and a “make the most of what you have” mindset shaped the man he is today and why he refused to abandon his dream of becoming a physician, even when others urged him to take an easier road.But this conversation isn't just about achievement. It's a full reset on men's wellness and balance; a candid look at why men around the world are dying younger, how the “provider” mindset fuels silent exhaustion, and why rest, nutrition, yearly checkups, and breathing space are not indulgences, but survival tools.Dr. Adepoju shares his own transformation from 100-hour workweeks to building rhythms of rest, intentional vacations, and sustainable balance. For leaders and multitaskers, his thoughts on clarity, structure, and letting go will resonate deeply: how to create systems, trust your team, set weekly anchors, and accept that the world will keep spinning even when you take a day off.We also explore how he built Empower Children's Clinic in Mississippi by turning barriers into blueprints — seeing poverty, health disparities, and limited pediatric access as opportunities to serve. “Light comes out of darkness,” he says, and his clinics, now in multiple locations, prove it.In the end, we return to what greatness truly means. Vulnerability. Accountability. The courage to grow and evolve year after year. If you're a physician with a vision, a man redefining strength, or anyone learning to balance ambition with well-being, this episode will both ground and inspire you.Tune in to hear the full conversation; available now on all podcast streaming platforms.

Jordi, yes!"Ca: ", va exclamar mentre s'inclinava per abraçar-lo fortament.En: she exclaimed as she leaned in to embrace him tightly.Ca: La seva emoció va ser interrompuda pel retorn de Pere que, amb

The Power of Placemaking at Skylab ArchitectureIn this episode of the EntreArchitect Podcast, Mark R. LePage explores holistic design process architecture with Susan Barnes and Robin Wilcox of Skylab. Based in Portland, Skylab integrates architecture, interiors, and master planning into one seamless approach. Their work shows that design is more than solving problems. It is storytelling and placemaking. Susan and Robin share how curiosity and a deep understanding of people and place guide every project. The result is memorable environments that connect with both users and communities.Susan Barnes discusses her path into architecture and what motivates her design leadership. She believes that architecture should be timeless and anchored in material quality. Susan led the team behind Nike's World Headquarters Serena Williams Building, a project shaped by careful listening and stakeholder collaboration. She explains why holistic design process architecture puts people first and helps teams make decisions that stay true to project goals. For Susan, a refined concept emerges only when everyone feels valued and heard.Robin Wilcox brings the conversation into the world of resort, hospitality, and large-scale commercial projects. He has guided the design of destinations like the Deer Valley Masterplan, the A-Frame Club in Colorado, and new work at Telluride Ski and Golf. Robin explains how collaboration and storytelling drive alignment among large project teams. He believes design must respond to the land and the culture of a place to create lasting value. Together, Susan and Robin offer a clear message: meaningful architecture happens when relationships, story, and place lead the process.This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, The Power of Placemaking at Skylab Architecture with Susan Barnes & Robin Wilcox.Learn more about Susan and Robin at Skylab Architecture, and connect with them on Instagram and LinkedIn.Please Visit Our Platform SponsorsArcatemy is Arcat's Continuing Education Program.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Harry McKay Roper, founder of Imaginary Space, for a wide-ranging conversation on space mining, AI-driven software, crypto's incorruptible potential, and the raw entrepreneurial energy coming out of Argentina. They explore how technologies like Anthropic's Claude 4.5, programmable crypto protocols, and autonomous agents are reshaping economics, coding, and even law. Harry also shares his experiences building in Buenos Aires and why hunger and resilience define the city's creative spirit. You can find Harry online at YouTube, Twitter, or Instagram under @HarryMcKayRoper.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 – Stewart Alsop welcomes Harry McKay Roper from Imaginary Space and they jump straight into space mining, Helium-3, and asteroid gold. 05:00 – They explore how Bitcoin could hold value when space mining floods markets and discuss China, America, and global geopolitics. 10:00 – Conversation shifts to Argentina, its economic scars, cultural resilience, and overrepresentation in startups and crypto. 15:00 – Harry reflects on living in Buenos Aires, poverty, and the city's constant hustle and creative movement. 20:00 – The focus turns to AI, Claude 4.5, and the rise of autonomous droids and software-building agents. 25:00 – They discuss the collapse of SaaS, internal tools, and Harry's experiments with AI-generated code and new workflows. 30:00 – Stewart compares China's industry to America's software economy, and Harry points to AI, crypto, and space as frontier markets. 35:00 – Talk moves to crypto regulation, uncorruptible judges, and blockchain systems like Kleros. 40:00 – They debate AI consciousness, embodiment, and whether a robot could meditate. 45:00 – The episode closes with thoughts on free will, universal verifiers, and a playful prediction market bet on autonomous software.Key InsightsSpace and Economics Are Colliding – Harry McKay Roper opens with the idea that space mining will fundamentally reshape Earth's economy. The discovery of asteroids rich in gold and other minerals highlights how our notions of scarcity could collapse once space resources become accessible, potentially destroying the terrestrial gold economy and forcing humanity to redefine value itself.Bitcoin as the New Standard of Value – The conversation naturally ties this to Bitcoin's finite nature. Stewart Alsop and Harry discuss how the flood of extraterrestrial gold could render traditional stores of value meaningless, while Bitcoin's coded scarcity could make it the only incorruptible measure of worth in a future of infinite resources.China and the U.S. in Industrial Tug-of-War – They unpack the geopolitical tension between China's industrial dominance and America's financial hegemony. Harry argues the U.S. is waking up from decades of outsourcing, driven by China's speed in robotics and infrastructure. This dynamic competition, he says, is good—it forces America to build again.Argentina's Culture of Hunger and Resilience – Living in Buenos Aires reshaped Harry's understanding of ambition. He contrasts Argentina's hunger to survive and create with the complacency of wealthier nations, calling the Argentine spirit one of “movement.” Despite poverty, the city's creative drive and humor make it a living example of resilience in scarcity.AI Is Making Custom Software Instant – Harry describes how Claude 4.5 and new AI coding tools like Lovable, Cursor, and GPT Engineer make building internal tools trivial. Instead of using SaaS products, companies can now generate bespoke software in minutes with natural language, signaling the end of traditional software development cycles.Crypto and AI Will Merge Into Incorruptible Systems – Harry envisions AI agents on-chain acting as unbiased judges or administrators, removing human corruption from law and governance. Real-world tools like Kleros, founded by an Argentine, already hint at this coming era of algorithmic justice and decentralized decision-making.Consciousness and the Limits of AI – The episode closes on a philosophical note: can a robot meditate or clear its mind? Stewart and Harry question whether AI could ever experience consciousness or free will, suggesting that while AI may mimic thought, the uniquely subjective and embodied nature of human awareness remains beyond automation—for now.

See! the moon is smiling Down her brightest beams, And the leaflets sleeping, Whisper in their dreams; Hear the merry music, And the peoples' lays, Hear the happy voices Joining in the plays.     There in old Kentucky, On a summer's night, Stands a quadroon maiden, Clothed in robes of white; On her raven ringlets, Orange blossoms sleep, O'er her slender figure, Bridal vestments sweep.     There we see her mistress, Smiling now with pride, On her handsome fav'rite, Whom she sees a bride. There is much rejoicing O'er Eliza's match; Misses Shelby fancies George is a good “catch.”     So the banjo's sounding, And the people sing, Hear them gayly dancing, To the fiddle's ring.

Research studies reveal there are neurological, emotional, and physical rewards to acts of altruism. We experience awe, most often, when we witness acts of human kindness, no matter how small. Volunteering offers a powerful antidote to modern societal chaos by redirecting focus toward a shared, positive purpose, thereby strengthening the bonds of community.To explore the ways self-care can become other-care, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with Nicole Karlis, a member of the Association of Health Care Journalists and a senior writer at Salon covering health, science, and wellness. Nicole explains the neuroscience of altruism and how we can create a ‘culture of caring', which are central tenets in her book, YOUR BRAIN ON ALTRUISM: The Power of Connection and Community during Times of Crisis.

The modern internet is a vast web of independent networks bound together by billions of routing decisions made every second. It's an architecture so reliable we mostly take it for granted, but behind the scenes it represents one of humanity's greatest engineering achievements. Today's internet is also dramatically more complex and capable than in its The post The Architecture of the Internet with Erik Seidel appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Research studies reveal there are neurological, emotional, and physical rewards to acts of altruism. We experience awe, most often, when we witness acts of human kindness, no matter how small. Volunteering offers a powerful antidote to modern societal chaos by redirecting focus toward a shared, positive purpose, thereby strengthening the bonds of community.To explore the ways self-care can become other-care, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with Nicole Karlis, a member of the Association of Health Care Journalists and a senior writer at Salon covering health, science, and wellness. Nicole explains the neuroscience of altruism and how we can create a ‘culture of caring', which are central tenets in her book, YOUR BRAIN ON ALTRUISM: The Power of Connection and Community during Times of Crisis.

This week on Better Buildings for Humans, Joe Menchefski heads to the heart of New York City's public school system with Caleb Crawford, Director of Sustainable Design and Resiliency at the NYC School Construction Authority. With decades of experience as an architect, educator, and environmental advocate, Caleb dives into how one of the world's largest school systems is confronting climate change head-on. From electrification and green infrastructure to passive survivability and equity-driven design, Caleb shares the innovative—and often surprising—ways NYC is making schools safer, healthier, and more resilient. He discusses the critical role of local laws, the balancing act of building in a dense city, and how even a brick wall can teach us something about thermal comfort. Whether you're designing new schools or retrofitting old ones, this episode is a masterclass in building for the future, today.More About Caleb CrawfordCaleb Crawford is the Director of Sustainable Design and Resiliency at the New York City School  Construction Authority.

This week on arts24's film show, critic Manon Kerjean from Lost in Frenchlation joins us to explore four very different slices of French cinema – from monumental architecture to female bandits, nostalgic comedy and a sweeping national portrait. We begin with "L'Inconnu de la Grande Arche" ("The Great Arch"), a visually striking portrait of the architect behind Paris's modern landmark, La Grande Arche de La Défense. Director Demoustier turns stone and steel into emotion, capturing the tension between ambition, politics and legacy, with Danish actor Claes Bang mastering French for the role.

#39: In this episode, I sit down with Beth Lundell Garver, Dean of Practice at the Boston Architectural College (BAC), to dig into one of the most common complaints in the industry: “We never learned business in school.”Beth brings a rare perspective. She's not only working inside academia, she's actively redesigning what architecture education looks like. We talk about why most programs still avoid teaching business, how BAC built a work-and-learn model with 800+ students logging real practice hours, and what firm owners can actually do to train young architects instead of blaming schools.This episode bridges two worlds that rarely talk honestly to each other: academia and practice. And Beth has receipts — from BAC's competency-based program (which predates NCARB's AXP) to why firms need to stop hiding their financials if they want better-prepared hires.Connect with Beth on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lundell-garver/ Learn more about BAC: https://the-bac.edu/ Work with Tyler: Send the word “Grow” to hello@growthitect.com ⸻What You'll Learn:(00:41) Why “we didn't learn business in school” isn't the full story(01:20) The problem with assuming one business class would fix everything(02:55) How BAC built a degree model tied directly to real-world work(04:45) The origin of BAC's practice curriculum (and how NCARB borrowed from it)(06:32) Why exposure > memorization when it comes to business education(07:58) The industry's identity crisis: self-actualization vs. job readiness(09:55) Why most architecture schools still prioritize theory over practice(12:15) The real reason firms keep getting grads who lack business skills(14:38) Community design + design-build programs as the “bridge” between school and practice(17:40) Why architects overthink and under-act — and how school trains that mindset(19:12) The transparency problem inside firms (and how it blocks learning)(21:20) Why most young architects don't see how their firm actually makes money(22:48) What firms should do tomorrow to train better business-literate architects(25:05) Why design talent alone won't create the next generation of firm leaders(27:30) How “design” applies to business models, not just drawings(30:18) The #1 mindset shift firm owners must make if they want better teams(33:02) Why many firms still manage people who don't even know project budgets(35:40) Design thinking as a superpower—outside architecture(38:22) How BAC students are already learning business through real projects, not lectures(40:12) How firms can partner with architecture schools (including BAC's remote model)—---AISC RESOURCES→ Learn about sustainable steel: http://aisc.org/sustainable → Get your Sustainability Toolkit: http://aisc.org/buildgreen GROWTHITECT RESOURCES→ Apply to join The Studio - https://growthitect.com/studio → Join thousands of architects on the free Growthitect newsletter - https://growthitect.com/join STAY CONNECTED→ Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylersuomala/ → Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/growthitect_com → Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@growthitect

We think a lot about how people make us feel, but what about the places we spend our time in? In this episode, we explore how architecture and design influence our physical and mental well-being, from hospitals and workplaces to the spaces we move through every day.Our guest, Tye Farrow, is a world-renowned architect and pioneer at the intersection of neuroscience and design. His new book, Constructing Health: How the Built Environment Enhances Your Mind's Health, reveals how buildings can either harm or heal us.We talk with Tye about salutogenic design, the importance of coherence, and why there's no such thing as a neutral space. Plus we explore how nature and biophilic design play a key role in creating environments that give health rather than take it away. If you've ever wondered why some spaces make you feel alive while others drain you, this conversation will change the way you see the built environment.Show NotesConstructing Health: How the Built Environment Enhances Your Mind's HealthFarrow PartnersFarrow Partners Knowledge Hub | Enriched EnvironmentsFarrow Partners Knowledge Hub | Embreathment The 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design Image Credit:  Farrow Partners Architects, Photographer Tom ArbanKeywords: architecture, neuroscience, biophilic design, salutogenic design, coherence, built environment, health and wellness, environmental psychology, design for healing, nature and design, sustainable architecture, mental health, spatial design, human-centered design, Tye Farrow, Constructing Health, healthy buildings, urban design, Serenbe, podcast, wellbeing, placemakingBiophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.

I had the opportunity to sit with down with Nick McWhirter or SHM Architects to explore the nuances of transitional design, the delicate dance between modern and traditional elements, and the intentionality behind every architectural choice. From furniture-driven layouts to aspirational lighting strategies, Nick shares the thought process, research, and we discuss philosophy that transform houses into harmonious, living machines. Listeners will gain insight into how design, balance, and playfulness converge to create both beauty and functionality in contemporary residential architecture.

What makes a home truly exceptional isn't just the materials or the finishes—it's the careful orchestration of space, light, and style. In this episode, Nick breaks down his approach to transitional design, revealing how subtle choices like shutter placement, dormer adjustments, or color balance can shift a home's aesthetic from modern to traditional. The conversation spans everything from lighting plans and hidden technology to furniture-first design principles and the philosophy behind architecture as a living, breathing machine.  Of course, that idea comes from Le Corbusier and his thoughts on this very subject.  We also discuss the role of photography, the tension between realism and aspirational imagery, and the evolving vernacular of form and function in modern homes. This episode is a masterclass in thoughtful, intentional, and style-agnostic design. Topics and Ideas Introduction & Context Welcome and setup: Exploring transitional design Nick's philosophy: Style agnostic but deeply researched Transitional Design: Modern vs. Traditional Subtle moves: Shutters, dormers, cut stone, and symmetry Playfulness in design: How small details create balance Color palette: Black-and-white schemes as intentional high-contrast statements Design Process & Interior Layouts Inside-out approach: Furniture-driven architecture Achieving balanced asymmetry Experimentation and editing: Knowing when less is more Lighting as a Core Component Invisible vs. visible fixtures: Philosophy of recessed lighting Lighting as both function and art Integration with technology: Wi-Fi, AV, and smart home systems Photography, Aspirational Design & Reality Balancing reality and idealized imagery in marketing Photoshop as a tool to highlight design intent How photography conveys quality of light, space, and atmosphere Form Follows Function & Architectural Philosophy Homes as “machines for living” The role of beauty and human experience in architecture Historical perspective: Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, and modern vernacular Outdoor Spaces & Technology Integration Creative solutions: Two TVs on a patio LED walls and emerging tech as part of design storytelling Closing Thoughts & Personal Insights The freedom in design: Few right or wrong answers Nick's passion for music, smoked meats, and lifestyle influence Preview of future conversations and projects Thank you, Nick for the time and conversation.

In this episode, PlanningxChange travels to Vietnam to speak with Olivier Souquet, French architect and co-founder of DE-SO Asia, a Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)-based design studio renowned for projects that weave together climate, culture, and poetic sensibility. Since establishing DE-SO Asia in 2016, Olivier has guided a diverse body of work across Vietnam—from rural schools and urban housing to major civic and cultural landmarks, including the new City Planning Exhibition Center in Ho Chi Minh City. His practice embraces both rigorous environmental awareness and a deep respect for local materials, geometry, geography, and traditions. Olivier discusses his architectural philosophy—shaped by influences such as Édouard Glissant's call to "act in your place, think with the world"—and the realities of designing in Vietnam's tropical context, where rain, heat, and humidity shape the rhythm of daily work. He reflects on building responsibly in a time of ecological change, how poetic gestures sustain creativity, and why uncertainty ("Au Vietnam, rien n'est jamais sûr") is part of the country's charm and challenge. This is a conversation about architecture as adaptation, empathy, and imagination—rooted in place yet globally aware. Key Topics Origins and philosophy of DE-SO Asia Practicing architecture across French and Vietnamese cultures The Family Garden studio: daily rituals, nature, and community Designing the Ho Chi Minh City Planning Exhibition Center Balancing civic responsibility with poetic intent Advice for young architects and reflections on Vietnam's creative energy About DE-SO Asia Founded in 2016 by Olivier Souquet, DE-SO Asia is a Vietnamese architectural and planning firm working at all scales—from regional masterplans to public buildings and landscapes. The firm collaborates with public authorities, private investors, and international partners, and is recognised for its environmentally conscious, site-responsive designs grounded in local knowledge and craftsmanship.

End chaos in your firm—300+ peers use this framework. Free video here: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/framework Architect Nation, this episode tackles the silent killer in many firms: weak accountability. Enoch and Rion reveal how polite habits and fear of conflict drain authority, profit, and joy. You'll hear why "safety" and "fierce compassion" can live in the same room. Through real stories, they show what happens when leaders avoid hard talks—or explode instead. You'll learn how language choices signal ownership, and why clients sense wobble long before you do. The result: missed deadlines, shrinking margins, and the "supplier" label. Then they point to a better way. A simple conversation frame, a different stance on responsibility, and a mindset that turns collision into creation. The payoffs touch culture, fees, and speed of execution. The two-word shift that changes everything with staff and clients. A ruthless-yet-loving move that ends chronic deadline drift. The profit leak hiding in your "nice" culture (and how leaders plug it).

On this article-read episode, we spotlight the University of Arkansas's new Institute for Integrative & Innovative Research (I³R)—a 144,000-sq-ft hub designed by HGA (with Hufft) to accelerate convergent research and regional economic development. Published on August 27, 2025, on the interiors+sources website, the piece explores how a mass-timber pavilion, biophilic strategies, and a flexible lab chassis support cross-disciplinary work in FoodTech, HealthTech, and CyberTech. Tune in to hear why this project matters for designers: the building ties architectural choices to measurable collaboration, talent attraction, and community impact—offering a blueprint for research environments that are as people-centric as they are technically advanced.

professorjrod@gmail.comA census solved with cardboard, a company remade by a $5 billion gamble, and a tiny firmware layer that cracked open the PC market—this is the human story behind how computing became a platform, not a product. We go from Hermann Hollerith's 1890 insight to IBM's sales-first system that taught the world to think in fields and records, and then to the cultural and ethical crosscurrents that come with scale. Those punched holes didn't just count people; they trained generations to quantify work, plan logistics, and make decisions with data.The narrative turns at a crossroads in the early 1960s. Thomas J. Watson Jr. sees a maze of incompatible machines and bets the company on a single, compatible architecture: System/360. It demanded new chips, code, factories, and nerve. Launch day lands with shock and relief—orders flood in for a family of computers that finally speak the same language. That choice redefined the industry's economics: software could live longer than hardware, upgrades didn't mean rewrites, and customers stopped fearing growth. Architecture became destiny, and IBM set the standard that everyone from Apple to ARM would later emulate in their own ecosystems.Then the stage shifts again to 1981, where a humble BIOS turns one machine into a platform. IBM documented how its firmware behaved; Compaq legally reimplemented it; the clone market ignited. Prices dropped, innovation surged, and the Wintel era took shape. IBM lost tight control but the world gained a common PC standard that carried software across brands and borders. From punch card schemas to UEFI, from batch jobs to cloud migrations, the same lesson repeats: design for compatibility, bet on continuity, and accept that openness can multiply impact.If the story made you think differently about the architecture beneath your apps and devices, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help others find Technology Tap.

"The Hunter and the Alligator." ALL the hunters in a village killed many deer one winter, except one man. This one saw many deer. Sometimes he drew his bow and shot at them; yet they escaped.    Now this hunter had been away from his village three days. He had seen many deer; not one had he killed. On the third day, when the sun was hot over his head, he saw an alligator. Alligator was in a dry, sandy spot. He had had no water for many days. He was dry and shriveled.    Alligator said to the hunter, “Where can water be found?” The hunter said, “In that forest, not far away, is cold water.”    “I cannot go there alone,” said Alligator. “Come nearer. Do not fear.” The hunter went nearer, but he was afraid.    “You are a hunter,” said Alligator, “but all the deer escape you. Carry me into the water, and I will make you a great hunter. You shall kill many deer.”     The hunter was still afraid. Then he said, “I will carry you, but first I must bind you so that you cannot scratch me; and your mouth, so that you cannot bite me.”    So Alligator rolled over on his back and let the hunter bind him. He fastened his legs and mouth firmly. Then he carried Alligator on his shoulders to the water in the forest. He unfastened the cords and threw him in.    Alligator came to the surface three times. He said, “Take your bow and arrow and go into the woods. You will find a small doe. Do not kill it. Then you will find a large doe. Do not kill it. You will meet a small buck. Do not kill that. Then you will meet a large, old buck. Kill that.”    The hunter took his bow and arrow. Everything happened just as Alligator had foretold. Then he killed the large, old buck. So he became a very great hunter. There was always venison in his wigwam. This week in Louisiana history. November 1, 1966. New Orleans Saints become 16th NFL football team.
