In Uncivil Guard: Policing, Military Culture, and the Coming of the Spanish Civil War (Louisiana State UP, 2025), Foster Chamberlin evaluates the role of militarized police forces in the political violence of interwar Europe by tracing the evolution of one such group, Spain's Civil Guard, culminating in the country's turbulent Second Republic period of 1931–1936. As his analysis shows, political violence provided the main justification for the military coup attempt that began the Spanish Civil War, and the Civil Guard was the most violent institution in the country at that time. Discovering how this police force, which was supposed to maintain order, became a principal contributor to the violence of the republic proves key to understanding the origins of the Civil War. By tracing the institution's founding in the mid-nineteenth century, and moving through case studies of episodes of political violence involving the group, Chamberlin concludes that the Civil Guard had an organizational culture that made it prone to violent actions because of its cult of honor, its distance from the people it policed, and its almost entirely military training.

On this episode of Discover Lafayette, we visit with Maureen Dugas Foster, founder of Designing Women of Acadiana, a collaborative network that has spent the past decade bringing together women interested in architecture, design, creativity, and community. What began as a simple idea during a challenging personal moment has grown into a vibrant organization that has hosted more than 100 events across Acadiana, connecting creative professionals and curious minds while highlighting the role design plays in our everyday lives. Maureen's inspiration for launching the organization came in 2016 during a time when she found herself unexpectedly unemployed and questioning the direction of her career. Having spent years working in architecture, she felt somewhat isolated in the local professional community. “I felt really alone in the architecture community in Lafayette,” she says. Women represent only about 20 percent of licensed architects nationwide, and she was seeking both connection and encouragement within the profession. Instead of waiting for someone else to create that community, Maureen decided to build one herself. “Thanks to a bottle of wine and courage, one night I made a Facebook page,” she laughs. She set a date for an informal meet-up at Pamplona Tapas Bar in downtown Lafayette, inviting women in architecture and design to gather for drinks and conversation. The response was immediate and surprising. “It was amazing because we had over 20 women show up.” Even today, she admits she still gets a little nervous before each event, but that first evening proved there was real interest in building a supportive creative network in Acadiana. In those early days, Designing Women of Acadiana focused largely on architects and interior designers. Over time, however, the organization evolved as more people expressed interest in participating—even those who didn't work directly in design fields. Maureen began to realize that creativity extends far beyond professional labels. “Everyone's creative,” she says. “It just gets like smacked out of you during regular schooling when you're young.” That philosophy led the group to broaden its mission to welcome creative women of all backgrounds. Today the membership includes professionals across many fields, from artists and entrepreneurs to healthcare professionals and business owners who simply enjoy engaging with creative ideas and spaces. As Maureen explains, sometimes the greatest benefit of attending an event is simply the energy that comes from connecting with others. “Show up if you're interested. You're going to get something out of it, whether it's new connections, deep conversation with some new person, or just energized with creativity.” Over the past ten years, Designing Women of Acadiana has hosted more than 100 gatherings, typically meeting once per month outside of the pandemic years. Events have ranged from architectural tours and home visits to creative workshops, networking socials, and community projects. One of the organization's most popular activities has been home tours featuring architect-designed residences. Early members, including local architect Lisa Bourque, opened the doors of newly completed homes so participants could see contemporary design up close. Homeowners would welcome the group with wine and snacks while sharing the story behind their home's design. For Maureen, those experiences illustrate how architecture can be deeply personal. “For the homeowner to show off this piece of architecture that they spent a lot of time on, it's like you're living in a piece of art that was made just for you.” Beyond residential tours, DWA members have also visited commercial spaces and historic buildings around Acadiana. When Bottle Art Lofts was developed in downtown Lafayette, the group toured the property to explore how historic structures can be transformed for modern use. Maureen notes that good architecture often involves re-imagining existing spaces rather than starting from scratch. “You can take any piece of architecture that's already there and scrape out all the insides and do something new,” she explains. “That's what you use your architect for because they've got the mind to do that.” Education has always been another important goal of the organization. Many events are designed to help people understand the value of thoughtful design, particularly for those outside architecture and construction. Maureen emphasizes that the spaces we inhabit every day, from homes to offices, have a direct impact on our mental and emotional well-being. In addition to tours and educational events, Designing Women of Acadiana has also participated in creative civic initiatives. One memorable project was Lafayette Consolidated Government's Parking Day, an international urban design event where participants temporarily transform parking spaces into miniature parks or gathering areas. DWA created parklets in downtown Lafayette that invited pedestrians to sit, draw, and interact with art installations. Their installations were so well received that they won awards both years they participated. These types of projects highlight another important element of DWA: fostering community connections. Over the years, the organization has collaborated with local businesses, artists, and property owners to create pop-up experiences and events that celebrate Lafayette's evolving cultural landscape. For Maureen personally, the organization has also become a source of mentorship and encouragement. Early in her career she often sought advice from mentors like UL architecture professor Michael McClure, who encouraged her to stay committed to her path even during uncertain times. Looking back, she realizes that Designing Women of Acadiana became the supportive professional network she had once been searching for. “I didn't even realize that's what I was looking for,” she says. “Starting DWA, I empowered myself and then created this community of other women who empowered one another.” Outside of her volunteer work with DWA, Maureen's own career has taken several interesting turns over the years. She earned her degree in architecture at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. She worked in commercial architecture firms for many years, gaining experience in the field even though she ultimately chose not to pursue full architectural licensure. 2017 Sunset at the Less Pay Motel – “I got to tour the Less Pay Motel with Stephanie & Greg Cornay when they were trying to come up with better ideas for Four Corners. Aileen Bennett came with me and snapped this photo.“ Today she works in commercial lighting sales with Lighting and Electrical Associates (LEA), collaborating with architects, interior designers, and engineers on building projects. Her role often involves helping teams think carefully about how lighting shapes the experience of a space—from aesthetics to mental health. “Lighting can make or break a space,” she says. “If you go into a place and you're feeling icky, look around—it's probably 80 percent due to the lighting.” In 2026, Designing Women of Acadiana celebrates its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of creativity, friendship, and professional collaboration. The milestone will be celebrated at the group's annual anniversary party on March 26 at Basin Arts, where guests can enjoy art, raffle prizes from local artists and businesses, and interactive experiences designed to showcase the creativity of the community. Membership in DWA remains intentionally accessible. Individual memberships are $75 per year, corporate memberships are $150 for three participants, and student memberships are available for $25. Most monthly events are free or low-cost, making it easy for anyone curious about creativity and design to participate. For those interested in joining or attending an event, the best place to stay connected is through Designing Women of Acadiana's Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn pages, where the group regularly posts upcoming gatherings and announcements. As Designing Women of Acadiana enters its second decade, Maureen and her board are continuing to expand the organization's mission to embrace an even broader range of creative voices across Acadiana. The goal remains the same as it was on that first night at Pamplona: create a welcoming space where ideas flourish, friendships form, and creativity is celebrated. “Designing Women of Acadiana is a bold and collaborative network of women shaping the creative and professional landscape of Acadiana,” Maureen says. “Rooted in design and driven by connection, we create curated experiences that cultivate confidence, spark inspiration, and ensure women feel seen in their industries and communities.”

Send a textEver notice how the smallest moments carry the most weight? We started with laughs and a road-trip story, then landed on a question we can't shake: how do we shape the next generation to be steady, kind, and resilient when life gets loud? With three dads and a teen at the table, we move past clichés and straight into the real work of modeling manhood—patience under pressure, boundaries that teach cause and effect, and the difference between demanding and earning.We revisit a missed chance to turn “can I have this?” into “how can I earn this?” and unpack why that shift matters for character, grit, and future choices. Foster care stories bring the lesson to life: allowances tied to responsibility, privileges linked to trust, and consequences explained, not barked. We talk about parenting across decades, the awkward regrets we all carry, and how faith and growth can rewrite a father's playbook without pretending the past didn't happen. The most surprising insight comes from our teen guest, who points to patience as the trait that actually sticks. Kids don't memorize speeches; they mirror behavior.From the sidelines to the locker room, we call out the culture around youth sports—why coaches often become father figures, and how adult meltdowns teach all the wrong things. Then we lighten the mood with what we're into right now: new audiobooks and thrillers, a left-field period film that sparked debate, a missions trip on the horizon, and a chaotic Memphis adventure complete with a very carefully hidden pocketknife. Through it all, one theme holds: our sons and daughters are always watching. If we want strong husbands, wives, teammates, and leaders tomorrow, we have to show them what that looks like today.If this conversation hits home—or challenges you—share it with a friend, subscribe for more honest talks, and drop a review with the best lesson a mentor ever gave you.

In episode 574 of The Perceptive Photographer, I dig into the idea of the emotional “entry points” that invite viewers into a photograph. This isn’t about leading lines or the rule of thirds. It’s about whether someone who knows nothing about you or your story can still feel something when they look at your work. It’s easy to make work that’s so personal it becomes a closed loop. It is meaningful to you, opaque to everyone else. Don’t make photos like walnuts that need a hammer. Make pistachios — already cracked open a bit so it is easier to get to the nut inside.  Some things to consider.  Balance personal meaning with room for others. Your perspective is what makes the work yours, but ask whether a stranger could find themselves in it too. S Create presence, not just documentation. Adams’ landscapes work because you feel like you’re in Yosemite, not just looking at it. Sensory details  like light, atmosphere, texture matter a lot. They do more than description ever can. Sequence when a single image isn’t enough. A series can provide context without spelling everything out. It gives viewers more ways in. Foster dialogue, not monologue. The best images don’t announce themselves. They ask what you see. Ambiguity isn’t weakness; it’s an invitation. The question I keep coming back in thinking about this: are your photographs building walls or opening doors?

Why Isn't Everyone Becoming the One? with Sheleana Aiyana If you keep attracting the same relationship in a different body… this conversation changes everything. In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Sheleana Aiyana, founder of Rising Woman and bestselling author of Becoming the One, to explore the deeper truth behind conscious partnership. This is not a conversation about “manifesting your person.” It's about becoming the version of you who no longer abandons herself. Sheleana shares her journey from foster care, addiction, and abusive relationships to becoming a guide for millions of women healing attachment wounds and building conscious love. Together, they unpack: Why healing the mother wound and father wound transforms your relationships The difference between manifestation and nervous system safety What shadow work actually means (and why it isn't self-blame) How to stop outsourcing your wholeness Why sometimes things have to fall apart before real love can arrive If you've ever wondered: “Why do I keep repeating the same patterns?” “Am I doing manifestation wrong?” “Why isn't the relationship here yet?” This episode offers a grounded, compassionate reframe. You cannot manifest sustainable love from a stressed nervous system. Meditation helps you unmanifest stress. Shadow work helps you metabolize your past.

On February 21, 2026, the University of Arkansas honored Razorback legend Pat Foster during halftime of the Missouri game — an Arkansas native, former Hog standout, and assistant under Eddie Sutton who helped build the foundation of a national powerhouse in the 1970s. That rise paved the way for the recruitment and success of "The Triplets" — Sidney Moncrief, Ron Brewer, and Marvin Delph — and their unforgettable run to the 1978 Final Four. In this special Hog Pod episode, we look back on that monumental era through the voices of Frank Broyles, Ron Brewer, Sidney Moncrief, Joe Kleine, Jim Counce, Chuck Barrett, Rick Schaeffer, and Matt Zimmerman, from Part 1 of Hogs Plus' documentary, 100 Seasons of Arkansas Basketball.

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.This is a second question from a listener named Tabitha who adopted a baby boy last year. Tho the adoption looked like it might be at least semi-open, it's effectively closed for now because the baby's birth mom is no longer communicating even with the agency. Question: All our training spoke to the benefits of open adoption. We also know (our baby) has two older siblings living with grandparents. There is also a toddler-aged sibling who was adopted. Like us, first mom is in her early 40s, so she's got life experience. How do we handle questions that arise when baby G is older, with so little info? We seem to be a rarity in this day and age, with a closed adoption not of our choosing. I definitely respect mom's choices, but I know questions will pop up on our little one's end down the road.Resources:Strategies for Maintaining Sibling ConnectionsHelping Siblings Separated by Adoption or Foster Care - Weekend WisdomHandling Social Media & Birth Family Contact with Your Adopted, Foster, or Kinship KidsSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

Leading with Heart: Transforming Organizational Culture through Alignment and TrustIn a world where organizational trust is at an all-time low and executive burnout has become the silent epidemic of the boardroom, the need for heart-centered leadership is no longer a "soft" luxury—it is a strategic necessity. In a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Hanna Bauer, the Founder and CEO of heartnomics, to discuss a revolutionary approach to professional excellence. Drawing from her harrowing personal journey of surviving terminal heart disease through a pioneering medical procedure, Hanna offers a perspective on leadership that integrates the precision of Six Sigma with the profound empathy of servant leadership. Their conversation serves as a roadmap for founders and executives who are ready to trade the "hustle at all costs" mentality for a high-performance culture rooted in rhythm, connection, and joy.The BEAT Framework: Harmonizing People, Purpose, and PerformanceModern organizations are often plagued by systemic misalignment, where 71% of digital transformations fail not because of the technology, but because of a lack of people readiness. Hanna addresses this by shifting the leadership metaphor from a linear "input-output" machine to a dynamic, synchronized dance. When a leader finds their "rhythm," they move beyond merely managing tasks and begin to foster psychological safety, allowing for honest dialogue and innovation without fear of retribution. This transformation requires the courage to perform a "cultural audit," using root cause analysis to identify outdated processes or toxic mindsets that no longer serve the organization's mission. By "burning away" these inefficiencies, leaders create the necessary space for new, healthy pathways of communication and collaboration to flourish.To bridge the gap between high-level vision and daily execution, Hanna introduces the BEAT framework: Belief, Engage, Act, and Transform. This model emphasizes that true excellence begins with a clarity of values (Belief) that must be authentically shared with the team (Engage) before purposeful execution (Act) can lead to sustainable change (Transform). For the 60% of leaders currently reporting symptoms of burnout, this framework provides a method to reduce cognitive overload by focusing on "less, but better." By prioritizing initiatives that align strictly with core values, leaders can normalize self-care and boundaries within their teams, ensuring that the organization maintains its focus on its "internal customers"—the employees who drive the brand's success.Implementation of this heart-centered approach starts with small, intentional "mini shifts" rather than overwhelming overhauls. Hanna suggests that leaders should act as facilitators of joy, creating rituals that celebrate wins and invite diverse perspectives into every decision-making process. This commitment to transparency and consistency builds the foundation of trust necessary to navigate times of uncertainty. When an organization's systems and processes are designed to serve human needs, the results are seen not just in the bottom line, but in the retention of top talent and the creation of a workplace where excellence and fulfillment exist in perfect harmony.About Hanna BauerHanna Bauer is the Founder and CEO of heartnomics, a keynote speaker, and an executive coach dedicated to heart-centered leadership. After a life-saving, experimental heart surgery, she dedicated her career to helping leaders align their passion with their performance, using her unique "HEARTnomics" philosophy to drive organizational transformation.About heartnomicsheartnomics is a consulting and coaching firm that specializes in organizational alignment, trust-building, and leadership development. The company provides holistic audits and frameworks—including the BEAT and CORE models—to help businesses identify systemic issues and foster a culture of excellence, purpose, and servant leadership.Links Mentioned in This Episodeheartnomics Official WebsiteHanna Bauer on LinkedInConclusionThis conversation with Hanna Bauer highlights that the most resilient organizations are those that prioritize the human element. By auditing your culture for alignment and having the courage to lead with vulnerability, you can transform your leadership from a source of stress into a source of inspiration.Key Episode Highlights:Leadership as Rhythm: Why syncing with your team is like a dance that requires constant connection and shared joy.The Trust Foundation: Addressing the critical statistics of organizational distrust and how transparency serves as the ultimate remedy.The "Hustle with Heart" Shift: Moving away from linear input-output thinking to recognize the complexity of human-centered work.Systemic Auditing: Using tools like root cause analysis to identify why talent leaves and where engagement drops.Mini Shifts for Big Impact: The power of making small, weekly adjustments to reinforce new, healthy leadership habits.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Nineteen Seventy-Six. America's bicentennial was a great year for cinema, with films like A Star is Born, King Kong, All the President's Men, Carrie, and The Omen heating up the box office, and instant classics Rocky and Network earning the most accolades. After a six-decade career in the director's chair, Alfred Hitchcock released his last film, Family Plot, around the same time that an up-and-coming young director by the name of Martin Scorsese released his breakout hit, the fifth film of his budding career. Centered on a disillusioned New York cabbie played by Robert De Niro, this rain-and-neon-soaked meditation on summer in the city proved to be a defining outing by both actor and director. With a cast including Cybill Shephard, Albert Brooks, Peter Boyle, Harvey Keitel, and a very young Jodie Foster, the film racked up awards, including the Palme d'Or at Cannes and four nominations at the Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor for De Niro, and Best Supporting Actress for Foster. Despite controversies over its content, the film was hailed as a hit. Now, fifty years later, we're catching a ride with Taxi Driver and talking to you about it!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.
