Jeannette sits down with Eddy Hackett, co-founder and executive producer of the Lost Estate, who shares his fascinating journey from training as a classical percussionist to scaling a thriving, multi-million-pound immersive theatre business.  He dives deep into the realities of bootstrapping, the strategic value of looking for capital before you absolutely need it, and how an organisation can build a uniquely resonant brand by leading with its core, human centric identity. You'll Learn Why: A non-linear career shift can introduce creative squiggles that open unexpected and highly lucrative doors. Bootstrapping forces an organisation to adopt a lean, resource-aware mindset that naturally drives creativity. The optimal time to raise capital is when your business is at its strongest, rather than when cash is running low. Elevating your core brand promise is essential for building consumer trust in a highly volatile market. Whether you're a founder, CEO, small business owner, entrepreneur, startup leader or executive, these lessons will help you make smarter hiring decisions and build a stronger, more successful business.

fWotD Episode 3358: Cognition Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 15 July 2026, is Cognition.Cognition encompasses mental processes that deal with knowledge. It includes psychological activities that acquire, store, retrieve, transform, or apply information. Cognitions are a pervasive part of mental life, helping individuals understand and interact with the world.Cognitive processes are typically categorized by their function. Perception organizes and interprets sensory information, such as light and sound, to construct a coherent experience of objects and events. Attention prioritizes specific aspects while filtering out irrelevant information. Memory is the ability to retain, store, and retrieve information, including working memory and long-term memory. Thinking encompasses psychological activities in which concepts, ideas, and mental representations are considered and manipulated. It includes reasoning, concept formation, problem solving, and decision-making. Many cognitive activities deal with language, including language acquisition, comprehension, and production. Metacognitive processes deal with information about other mental processes, such as knowing that one can recall a specific memory. Classifications also distinguish between conscious and unconscious processes and between controlled and automatic ones.There are many theories of the nature of cognition. Classical computationalism posits that cognitive processes manipulate symbols according to formal rules, similar to how computers execute algorithms. Connectionism models the mind as a complex network of nodes where information flows as they communicate with each other. Representationalism and anti-representationalism disagree about whether cognitive processes operate on internal representations of the world.Many disciplines explore cognition, including psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science. They examine different levels of abstraction and employ distinct methods of inquiry. Some scientists study cognitive development, investigating how mental abilities grow from infancy through adulthood. While cognitive research mostly focuses on humans, it also explores how other animals acquire knowledge and how artificial systems can emulate cognitive processes. The study of cognition has its roots in antiquity and has gained particular interdisciplinary prominence since the cognitive revolution starting in the 1950s.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:34 UTC on Wednesday, 15 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Cognition on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Justin.

Dr. Justin Sledge is a scholar of philosophy and Western esotericism, and the voice behind the YouTube channel Esoterica, which has grown to over a million subscribers. He has spent his career studying the traditions that history tried to erase: Gnosticism, Kabbalah, Hermeticism, witchcraft, and alchemy.What We Dive Into:1. Classical skepticism is not about debunking or disbelief. It is about bracketing your personal investment long enough to let the material speak for itself. 2. Newton wrote more on alchemy and the occult than on calculus. Descartes arrived at his famous method through a mystical dream. Stripping these facts from the story of modernity has cost us access to some of the most important spiritual technologies ever developed.3. Every other starting point, certainty, comfort, doctrine, conclusions, has a gutter waiting at the end of it. Awe keeps the garden of curiosity alive.Know Thyself, but not by yourself.

2024 Ravinia Festival Opening Night - Celebration of Americana by CSO Association

Originally from Northern California, poet and creative arts activist Cheryl Wilder has lived in North Carolina for more than 20 years, and her latest collection of poems, Singing Riptide, stems from a traumatic event in her life. On this episode of Piedmont Arts, you'll hear what it was that set Cheryl's writing career in motion. Plus, we'll let you know about upcoming arts and culture happenings across our region with FanFare.

Episode 397 of RevoluionZ takes a careful walk through classical Leninist strategy, presenting it as sympathetically as we can so that the real strengths and real weaknesses show themselves without caricature. The context is Marxism-Leninism as an ideology--Classical ideologies as a way to read social conditions, determine goals, choose strategy, and treat organization as a complex revolutionary weapon rather than a neutral container. We start with Lenin the strategist: theory guides him, but he fits his tactics to concrete conditions. That means as Lenin urges, learning to retreat when needed, combining legal and illegal work, and being willing to maneuver, compromise, and even participate in reactionary parliaments when it helps reach workers and expose the system's limits. We ask the uncomfortable question hidden inside his famous “zigzags” offense: who decides on what basis which compromises are smart and which ones corrode the project from the inside? From there we track how the vanguard party, democratic centralism, and “iron discipline” emerged, then moved through 1905, imperialism and World War I, and the 1917 crisis of peace, bread, land, and liberty. We look at what was advocated for after power is taken, consider the turn toward state capitalism as a transitional tactic, consider the tightening of centralized rule, the resolution of debates around worker democracy, and the export of the Bolshevik model through the Third International. All of this is considered using the actual words and choices of Lenin, Trotsky, and a few supporters and critics.If these questions feel relevant right now, that's the point. After resisting authoritarianism, what ideology and organizing methods can help us build something better than a return to business as usual? Last episode presented Classical Marxist theory. This episode presents Leninist strategy. Next episode will assess Bolshevik practice and then we will go back to strategy and finally to its roots in theory and finally consider a couple of alternatives. It is a long sequence and each episode is itself long but also accessible. Each is also offered a bit later as an article for further consideration. Then again choosing one's tools for a profound task is not a trivial task. These episodes are not tweets. I hope you will have time for them and thus for carefully thinking through the tasks we now face. Support the show

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we are joined once again by the Mighty Julian the Philosopher to continue our discussion about the world's most important philosophers, the ideas they championed and how we can use their wisdom to untangle the madness that has come to define our modern world. In this episode we focus on the most important mind to ever grace Western civilization; Plato, with some emphasis placed upon his dialogues in the Symposium and various arguments made in The Republic. In the extended side of the show we begin to explore how Plato's teachings intersected with Nietzsche and Aleister Crowley, stopping to read some poetry from a number of the authors we discuss and conclude with a view of the dark, science fiction dystopia that stretches out before us on our next leg of the journey to seek the good life.

Alex Herrera, MD, discusses the FDA approval of nivolumab plus AVD for untreated classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

Classical music is sometimes seen as serious, formal, and maybe even a little intimidating. But is that image fair? YolanDa is joined by London Philharmonic Orchestra violinist Alice and trombonist Tempo to uncover what really goes on behind the scenes of an orchestra.Pirates, karaoke, beer cans, and a trombone-playing wedding guest aren't usually associated with classical music. But according to YolanDa, Alice, and Tempo, they're all part of the surprisingly un-stuffy world of orchestral life. Together, they explore why classical music is sometimes seen as formal and intimidating, and whether that reputation still holds up today. Along the way, they reveal the hidden culture of the orchestra: from inside jokes and rehearsal pranks to foot-tapping applause, improvisation, and even Rite of Spring raves. They also tackle some big questions: are classical musicians really all that different from athletes? Does concert dress make orchestras seem more exclusive than they are? And can a genre built on centuries-old music still be spontaneous and adventurous?#PitchMeClassicalInstagram: @londonphilharmonicorchestra TikTok: @lporchestraBluesky: @lporchestraFacebook: @londonphilharmonicorchestra YouTube: @londonphilharmonicorchestra Hosted on Acast.

We're taking it a little easy in July, and in the spirit of that, we're launching something new: Soundbites from the Vault. These are shorter, standalone segments from earlier episodes that we think are worth revisiting, easy to digest, and immediately relevant to your practice.For our first soundbite, we're revisiting one of our favorite conversations from Episode 32 with Steve Gelberg, author of Tuning In: Experiencing Music in Psychedelic States. Steve spent years researching the intersection of music and psychedelic-assisted therapy, and what he shares here has direct practical implications for how you're running your ketamine sessions.This segment gets into something most providers haven't thought deeply about: music isn't just filling the silence. It's doing active therapeutic work, from calming a patient's first fear response as ketamine comes on, to opening access to the subconscious material that makes treatment meaningful. Steve also covers the practical side, including what types of music to use, why lyrics are generally a problem, and how to think about the classical versus ambient debate without getting dogmatic about it.If you've been using the same playlist since you opened, this one is worth 15 minutes of your time.What You'll Gain:· Why music and psychedelics share a unique therapeutic synergy rooted in how both interact with emotional and subconscious experience· How the right music can calm the ego's fear response during the onset of a ketamine session and support deeper therapeutic outcomes· Why lyrics are generally avoided during psychedelic-assisted therapy and what instrumental genres tend to work best· The case for neoclassical music as a middle ground between classical and ambient for ketamine sessions· How to think about patient-chosen music versus therapist-curated playlists, and why avoiding dogma matters more than finding the perfect answerEpisode 60 show notes:00:00:00 Teaser: "The right kind of music…”00:00:33 Episode Introduction and Soundbites from the Vault Launch00:01:32 The Shared Ontology of Music and Psychedelics00:03:37 How Psychedelics Open the Emotional Sphere of Consciousness00:04:41 The Unique Therapeutic Synergy Between Music and Ketamine00:05:08 What Music Is Actually Doing at the Onset of a Ketamine Session00:05:55 How Music Helps Surface the Root of Depression, Phobias, and Trauma00:07:01 Music as an Ancient and Primal Human Tool: Lullabies and Soothing00:08:25 The Case for Healing Female Voices in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy00:09:41 How to Choose Music for Ketamine Sessions: A Provider's Guide00:10:23 The Classical vs. Ambient Debate: Origins and Context00:11:36 Why Lyrics Are Generally Avoided During Ketamine Therapy00:12:39 Neoclassical Music: The Best of Both Classical and Ambient00:13:39 Avoiding Agitating or Overly Dramatic Music in Sessions00:14:11 Patient-Chosen vs. Therapist-Curated Playlists00:15:12 Why There Should Be No Dogma Around Music Selection00:15:48 Episode Ending and ResourcesThanks for listening

Send us Fan MailEpisode 312 of THE CVH PODCASTThe classical recording industry is broken.Streaming has transformed the way we listen to music—but for many classical artists, it has also made traditional recording projects financially unsustainable.In this episode, I explain where the money actually goes, why major label recordings often generate surprisingly little income for the artists themselves, and why so many singers simply stop recording altogether.I'm also making the case for a different future.Instead of waiting for permission from a record company, I chose to produce and release my own album independently. It's a massive risk, but it also gives artists something they've largely lost: ownership.Maybe the future of classical recording isn't fewer albums.Maybe it's more artists betting on themselves.I'd love to hear your thoughts after listening.

Key Discussion Points & Timeline Contrasting modern wellness marketing with historical accounts of meditative danger; the book provides a sourcebook for Dharma teachers, clinicians, and serious practitioners. Multi-Tradition Mapping throughout covers Pali, medieval Chinese, Japanese, and Tibetan sources, many of which we touch on. Traditional sources diagnose destabilization and even offer a range of physical, energetic, and lifestyle remedies to mediate crisis: whether they would be a good fit for today's practitioner is another matter.

BUFFALO, NY — July 6, 2026 — A new systematic #review was #published in Volume 18 of Aging on June 18, 2026, titled “Life expectancy and causes of death in classical laminopathic progeroid syndromes: systematic review with individual-patient data synthesis.” The study was led by co-first authors Carlos López-Vila, Manuel García-Cordeiro, and Luís Estévez-Martínez from the University of Santiago de Compostela, and corresponding author David Araújo-Vilar from the University of Santiago de Compostela and the University Clinical Hospital of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Classical laminopathic progeroid syndromes are among the rarest inherited disorders known. Caused by mutations affecting the LMNA gene or the ZMPSTE24 enzyme, these conditions lead to premature aging, severe multisystem disease, and markedly shortened life expectancy. Although Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), mandibuloacral dysplasia (MAD), and restrictive dermopathy (RD) all belong to this group, reliable information about survival and causes of death for each disorder has remained limited because most published reports describe only individual patients or small case series. In this study, researchers performed a comprehensive systematic review and individual-patient data analysis to date of classical laminopathic progeroid syndromes. Following PRISMA guidelines, they analyzed data from 169 published studies together with two additional genetically confirmed institutional cases, creating a cohort of 158 genetically confirmed patients for the primary survival analysis. By examining individual patient records rather than pooled summaries, the investigators were able to compare survival patterns and causes of death across each disease subtype with greater precision.

We explore multi-tradition historical texts, the anatomy of practice crises, and the ethical responsibility of teachers and app developers to provide something along the lines of informed consent. Key Discussion Points & Timeline Contrasting modern wellness marketing with historical accounts of meditative danger; the book provides a sourcebook for Dharma teachers, clinicians, and serious practitioners. Multi-Tradition Mapping throughout covers Pali, medieval Chinese, Japanese, and Tibetan sources, many of which we touch on. Traditional sources diagnose destabilization and even offer a range of physical, energetic, and lifestyle remedies to mediate crisis: whether they would be a good fit for today's practitioner is another matter. Challenging the modern claim that adverse effects only happen to the unprepared or mentally fragile. Classical lineages show that severe physical ailments and mental destabilization can happen randomly, even to advanced practitioners. The hidden risks of unmonitored, commercialized meditation apps. Why creators have an ethical duty to move past treating meditation as a risk-free panacea and offer clear safety guardrails. How different cultures draw the line between a spiritual breakthrough and clinical pathology. The ongoing project of integrating traditional remedies with modern psychology and neuroscience.

Description In this episode of The Christopher Perrin Show, Christopher Perrin welcomes Keith McCurdy and Davies Owens for a conversation about Raising Sturdy Kids, Keith's new book on forming strong families and capable children. McCurdy argues that children today are not naturally sturdier than previous generations, but are often more fragile—marked by rising anxiety, depression, diagnoses, medication, and difficulty coping with discomfort. Using the image of trees that need wind and weather to grow “stress wood,” he explains why children also need healthy, productive struggle in order to become flexible, durable, and mature. Davies Owens connects this need to the larger challenge facing parents today: many families are disconnected from extended-family wisdom, surrounded by competing voices, and unsure how to parent with clarity and courage. The conversation assesses the self-esteem movement, gentle parenting extremes, fear-based parenting, and the cultural lie that feelings are the most important part of who we are. Together, they call parents, schools, and churches back to a shared vision of maturity: the ability to choose what is right even when it is difficult, uncomfortable, or unwanted. The episode closes by highlighting practical resources for parents and schools, including Raising Sturdy Kids, Basecamp Live's “Live Sturdy” conversations, and future ClassicalU resources.Episode OutlineIntroducing Raising Sturdy Kids and the need for strong families and capable childrenKeith McCurdy's background in mental health, counseling, and work with familiesWhy children today are often more fragile than sturdyThe tree analogy: stress wood, wind, weather, and healthy struggleDavies Owens on parents, extended family, and the loss of generational wisdomBasecamp Live, Zipcast, and the “Live Sturdy” conversations with Keith McCurdyThe self-esteem movement and the story of the broken baseball trophyThe cultural lie that feelings are the most important part of who we areHelping students understand that emotions cannot reliably discern truthParenting by consensus and the dangers of following the crowdThe “three Ps”: problem, principles, and practical applicationMaturity as doing what is right when it is difficult, uncomfortable, or unwantedCourage as every virtue at its testingFamily, school, and church as a threefold partnership in forming sturdy childrenWhere to find Raising Sturdy Kids and related resourcesKey Topics & TakeawaysSturdiness Through Struggle: Children do not become strong by being protected from every hardship. Like trees exposed to wind and weather, they need appropriate stress in order to grow durable, flexible, and mature.Truthful Encouragement: The self-esteem movement often replaces real formation with artificial praise. Children need adults who speak truthfully about failure, growth, effort, and responsibility.Feelings and Reality: Emotions have value, but they cannot reliably distinguish fantasy from reality or truth from distortion. Children must learn to understand feelings without being ruled by them.Courage and Virtue: Virtues become real when they are tested. Courage gives virtue flesh by enabling students to practice what is right under pressure.Shared Formation: Families, schools, and churches need common language and shared principles if they are going to form children in wisdom, virtue, and maturity.Benevolent Authority: Loving discipline is not harsh authoritarianism. Parents are called to lead clearly, calmly, and lovingly, without allowing raw emotion to govern correction.Questions & DiscussionWhere are children in your community most protected from healthy struggle?Consider areas such as schoolwork, chores, athletics, friendship conflict, disappointment, consequences, and technology. What would a healthy, age-appropriate version of productive struggle look like?What is the difference between encouragement and false praise?Discuss the baseball trophy story. Why did the child instinctively reject praise that did not match reality, and how can adults be both truthful and encouraging?How should we teach children to understand their emotions without being ruled by them?Consider McCurdy's examples of fear in an alley, fear in a dream, and fear while watching a movie. What do these examples reveal about feelings and truth?What does maturity look like in a child, teenager, or adult?Discuss McCurdy's definition of maturity as doing what is right when it is difficult, uncomfortable, or unwanted. Where do you personally need courage to do what is right despite discomfort?How can parents, schools, and churches become a stronger threefold partnership?Consider what your school or church reinforces well and where families may be receiving mixed messages. What shared language would help create a thicker culture of formation?Suggested Reading & ResourcesRaising Sturdy Kids: Simple Truths for Building Strong Families and Capable Kids by Keith McCurdyThe Abolition of Man by C.

For months, events surrounding Iran have moved at a relentless pace. In the midst of that, some remarkable conversations had to wait their turn. This is one of them. In this episode, Jian Ghomeshi welcomes acclaimed composer, producer and arranger Ramin Zamani to the Roqe studio for a fascinating discussion about music, exile, creativity, discipline and authenticity. Long before he became one of the key architects of modern Persian pop music, Ramin Zamani left Iran to pursue classical guitar and composition. His dream was not chart success but film scoring. Yet through a series of unexpected turns, including a chance encounter with Kamran of Kamran & Hooman, he found himself helping shape the sound of Persian music for a generation. The conversation explores: • Life under the Islamic Republic • Leaving Iran for artistic freedom • Classical music and creative discipline • The dream of film composition • The making of Persian pop music • Collaborations with Shahbal Shabpareh and Dariush • The role of mentorship • The creative process • Autotune and authenticity • Artificial intelligence and the future of music The episode also features Jian's opening essay: WE ARE BETWEEN CHAPTERS Sponsored by: • Stellar Law - stellarlaw.ca Hosted by Jian Ghomeshi.

You've heard the word Tantra thrown around, maybe even Googled it at 11pm and come away more confused than when you started. Same. In this episode, Leah and Willow go straight to the source, your listener questions, and bust the biggest myths about Tantra, tantric sex, and what any of this actually has to do with your real life, your real body, and your real relationships. ⛤ Classical vs. neo-Tantra explained. Tantra means "tool for expansion" and neo-Tantra is showing up right now as a vehicle for sexual healing, because the culture needs it.⛤ White Tantra vs. red Tantra. White Tantra is practicing your instrument solo (breath, meditation, presence). Red Tantra is making music with the band. You need both.⛤ Ejaculatory choice. Tantra may be the most effective, side-effect-free path for men who want to last longer. Breath and sound are the two primary dials and learning to ride the arousal scale changes everything.⛤ What a tantric orgasm actually is. Forget the genital sneeze. Full-body orgasms spread sensation from genitals to fingertips, toes, heart, and third eye and your body can be trained to get there.⛤ Why sounding is non-negotiable. The jaw and throat mirror the pelvic bowl, and the vagus nerve runs right through it. Making sound isn't just sexy, it's how sensation travels through your whole body.⛤ Breathwork as your fastest on-ramp. Slow nasal breathing drops cortisol, eases performance anxiety, and helps partners co-regulate, making intimacy feel safer and more pleasurable, fast.LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE: https://www.sexreimagined.com/blog/tantric-sex-questions-answered The Sacred Spot Weekend | July 17-19, 2026 in NYC | Join Leah & Guy Shahar to learn the Tantric Sacred Spot Ritual Sequence! Click Here to Register.  Erotic Polarity Online Masterclass - Join us July 29th for a live masterclass on zoom.

What if the gift you've had since childhood was always meant to glorify God — you just didn't know it yet? In this episode of the Everyday Educator podcast, host Delise sits down with Mercy Koimburi, a Kenyan Classical Conversations homeschool mom and professional photographer, to explore how creativity, faith, and classical education are more connected than you might think. Mercy shares how she discovered photography at age 11, how she uses it to capture emotion and tell stories of family and faith, and why she believes God placed that gift in her long before she had a name for it. From the math hidden inside every great photo — hello, Fibonacci sequence! — to how CC's classical framework shows up through her lens, this conversation is full of warm encouragement for homeschool moms who want to nurture the gifts in themselves and in their children. Mercy also opens up about her CC community in Kenya, what homeschool days look like on the other side of the world, and the Bible verses that have carried her through the hard days of the journey. Whether you have a budding young artist at home or you're still figuring out how your own gifts fit into your homeschool life, Mercy's story will leave you inspired and equipped. You don't have to have it all figured out — he gently leads those who have young.

Leonardo da Vinci once wrote that the key to developing a “complete mind” was to “study the science of art. Study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.”In 2009, Sherry Zhang and a group of dedicated California parents who were disillusioned with the schools in their area decided to co-found an academic institution that would put this philosophy into practice.A former Silicon Valley entrepreneur and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory postdoctoral chemist, Zhang shares her unexpected journey from working in a garage tech start up to being a founding member of a classical academy.In this episode, Zhang discusses the core philosophy behind classical education—built upon three tenets: truth, goodness, and beauty. She reveals how intensive training in classical Chinese dance, ballet, visual arts, and music causes students to develop habits of perseverance, focus, and attentiveness that transfer to academics.In an age dominated by instant gratification and digital distraction, Zhang explains how the structure of classical arts provides order that children long for.One student, Hugo, came to the San Francisco High School of the Arts unable to focus and with failing grades. After one year at the school, he began to prosper academically, and his mother was stunned. His story is just one among many, Zhang says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

In his 1905 essay on psychotherapy Freud elaborates the distinction between painting (pouring on) and sculpture (chipping away). Classical defense and resistance analysis seeks to emancipate the true self.
