Im thrilled to welcome back Wendy Tarplee-Morris, the co-founder, and Phil Brace, the CEO, of the Little Princess Trust, a charity that holds a special place in all our hearts. Wendy and Phil are two amazing people who have drive, compassion, and leadership. Since its inception by Wendy 20 years ago, the Little Princess Trust has provided over thousands of free, real-hair wigs to children and young people facing the unimaginable challenge of hair loss due to cancer treatment and other conditions. But their mission extends beyond the wigs; they also fund vital research into childhood cancers. Our conversation today ranges from the upcoming 20th anniversary of the Little Princess Trust to the significant role of the hair industry in supporting their work, the process of creating these lifelines from donations, and how every snip and trim could contribute to something powerful. Back in 2022, Wendy and Phil shared insights into the Little Princess Trust partnership with Great Lengths on the How To Cut It podcast, and today they're back to dive deeper into what makes the Little Princess Trust truly unique. Now, more than ever, let's get behind the Little Princess Trust. The 20th year for the Little Princess Trust is a milestone that marks great achievements and sets the stage for future aspirations. As hairdressers, we can create smiles and provide comfort by partnering with the Little Princess Trust. Let's continue to support, donate, and raise awareness for this incredible cause. Tune in to hear how you can make a difference to the wonderful work that the Little Princess Trust is doing.

Welcome to Bri Books! Today, we're dissecting 5 ingenious wedding trends of 2024 that you're bound to see everywhere. Listen to the most recent episode, “Top 5 Bridal Trends of 2024: Part One” for even more inspiration. This episode is about wedding industry-wide trends, and what you can expect in 2024. Whether you're the guest, the host, or one of the intended, these wedding trends will get your juices flowing. We did all the things for the bride last time, so now let's take it to everyone else. Here are a few quick trends that are taking over the wedding industry.  Micro-weddings: This trend has been years in the making (predated the pandemic), and it's only going stronger in 2024. Some folks pack out cathedrals, others love a chic, curated courthouse affair. Micro-weddings often look like elopement or private civil ceremonies, followed by modest dinners.  Micro-weddings are growing not just as a result of rising prices of weddings, but as a throwback to more intimate nuptial affairs. Long cakes: Viva la long cake! In the early January NYT article, "These Wedding Cakes Are Going to Great Lengths", the wedding cake of Rachel Karten (founder of Link in Bio) was featured—a massive, multi-color, multi-foot long slab of deliciousness.  Daytrip weddings: I personally love this concept. If you're in a particularly scenic state or country, consider a daytrip wedding, especially if it's a day-long or one night overnight affair. If you're getting married in a small ceremony or privately, consider doing a daytrip to a gorgeous farm, setting, etc. to exchange vows. Intimate dinner party weddings and afterparties:  After the altar is the afterparty! More and more, couples are opting for a debaucherous, energy-fueled afterparty to keep the vibes going. Renting out a chic hotel bar or even a restaurant can deliver the after party vibes. Bonus points if there's a kitschy element like takeout  food, nostalgic small bites, etc. feel free to be lo-fi and grungy.  I think an intimate dinner party can bring an air of casualness to wedding festivities. It's also easier to get around and see all of your friends/ do the general socializing at a dinner party vs a more formal seated dinner.   Off-season travel: Paging Portugal! You may see more off-season and left-of-center wedding destinations crop up in your invites. Portugal is well known, also consider Chile, parts of Mexico (San Miguel de Allende), Ecuador, Portugal, Costa Rica, Belize, and other less-traveled destinations.

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases THE GREAT OUTDOORS and TO GO TO GREAT LENGTHSIn this English lesson. I wanted to help you learn the English phrase "the great outdoors". Well we're in it. We're in the great outdoors. This is simply a fun way to refer to being outside in nature. When I made my video on my other channel the other day, I was in the great outdoors. I went for a hike. It was a lot of fun. It's fun to be in the great outdoors. And we use this phrase a lot. We'll say things like, oh, it's nice to be out in the great outdoors. I love to go camping in the great outdoors. I love to go hiking in the great outdoors. I love to go fishing in the great outdoors. All very common ways to talk about being outside in nature. And why do we say it? I don't know. Because it's great. I think that's my simple explanation. It's great to be outside. It's great to be in the great outdoors.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS? GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH, "BOB THE CANADIAN"If you enjoy these lessons please consider supporting me at: http://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadianThe other phrase I wanted to teach you today is to go to great lengths. Now, when you go to great lengths to do something, it means you work extra hard and extra long and you focus on it really, really precisely and strongly. When I plan my lessons, I go to great lengths to make sure the lessons are good. I come up with the idea. I usually make a whole list of notes. I highlight all the words that I want to teach in the lesson, and then I take my paper with me because I like to go to great lengths to make sure that the lesson is done well and that all of you benefit from it.So to review, the great outdoors is simply this. I'm in the great outdoors right now and it's really nice. And to go to great lengths means that you just work really hard. You put a lot of effort into something to make sure it is good. I go to great lengths to make lessons that I can do outside or in other places. I go to great lengths to make sure that happens.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. I know I seem distracted. There's sounds around me, but you can't hear them probably. I'm not sure what they are. Like a clunking sound. I should do that lesson on sounds at some point, shouldn't I? This is from Ricardo. The good mood is directly related to the brightness. It is a kind of chain reaction. The blue sky implies the sun. The sun implies vitamin D in our body, and the vitamin D contributes to generating endorphins. And eventually these give us a feeling of happiness. Closed circle. And my response, I guess there is an explanation for it.And I think Ricardo is referring to how when you are outside, it is nice and beautiful and awesome and you just feel better. And a lot of that is because of things like the blue sky, the fresh air just being away from the sounds of traffic, although I can hear a large dump truck going by right now. So thanks, Ricardo, for that comment.It is nice to come outside and get some sunshine, to get some fresh air and to allow my body to make some vitamin D. It's one thing that here in Canada, people often take vitamin D supplements in the winter. We're close to the time of year where the days are the shortest. We're about a month and a half away from the shortest day of the year. Not my favorite day. It will start to get dark at like 4:30 in the afternoon. Something that I guess for me is normal, but I guess in some parts of the world that would seem really, really strange.But I guess on the flip side, in the summer it's light out till 10:00 at night in June. So, yeah, you get, what is it, six of one, half a dozen of the other. I think that might be the English phrase. You get a little bit of both. So I don't Support the show

 A podcast episode sponsored by Great Lengths. Todays guest Hadley Yates love for extensions started at a young age, watching his mother transform with the help of hair extensions. It was this passion for extensions that led Hadley and his husband to opening a London salon in Covent Garden specialising in them. So in this episode I'm curious to learn how did Hadley's childhood fascination with hair extensions lead to building a successful salon business using Great Lengths hair extensions. Opening the Hadley Yates Salon in September 2022, it has quickly grown into a team of seven who all share the same passions for hair extensions that aligns with the salon business values and work ethics. In our conversation we hear how Great Lengths Elite stylist Hadley sees the versatility of using Great Lengths hair extensions has been instrumental in growing the salon business. Versatility like using them to create fullness, strengthening, correcting haircuts, and adding colour and texture. He loves experimenting with tonal shades and varied lengths to create an edgy, textured look. Its this versatility thats built a thriving salon business that has attracted an impressive list of celebrity clients through word of mouth and social media. Hadley is to share why Great Lengths hair extensions longevity and sustainability make it a good choice for salon businesses, and how it has benefitted his salon business as a whole. To salons worried about the costs involved in offering Great Lengths, Hadley advises viewing it as an investment. Ethical and sustainable practices are also important to him and his clients. To emulate his success, Hadley's advice is to focus on building relationships with clients and prioritising their needs. With patience and dedication, success can be achieved in the world of hair extensions. He has some great advice for you if you too are looking to break into this world of hair extensions. Listen in!

Helping us understand all of this and more, I'm to be joined today guest, Great Lengths UKI Elite and one of the UK's leading hair extensions expert, Vicky Demetriou. Vicky was described by British Vogue as 'the best in the business when it comes to natural looking, perfectly colour matched hair extensionist', so it's fair to say that Vicky knows her stuff when it comes to using hair extensions. For Vicky, having hair that's not only the highest of quality, but is responsibly sourced and produced hair are hugely important to align with her own sustainable values. You'll hear all about this in our conversation, along with how Great Lengths are continually investing in renewing their Italian production centre that reduces energy impact and CO2 emissions.

Joining me for this conversation is Wendy Tarplee-Morris, Director of Service and Impact and Phil Brace, Chief Executive Officer at The Little Princess Trust, along with James Henderson, Salon owner of M Hair Nottingham & Great Lengths Charity Ambassador.

Step 57: Design facilitates AgencyPart 1: The MouskedoerCrawford tells this story about watching the Mickey Mouse channel, and on the show they have these segments where, say, 4 objects are in a grid, and a river shows up on the screen. Do you use the bridge, the ladder, the hammer, or the banana to cross the river? Did you guess banana? That's a common mistake. Smart mouses ask for help! Let's do it on 3, 1,2, 3… it starts with a br and ends with an idge. And if you get all 4 you are declared a “mousekedoer.” Hooray!  In early cartoons, objects such as hammers and nails and springs seem to have an identity and a contrary will of their own: they were somewhat threatening. A Spring will bounce back at you or a rubber band with snap-on your hand or your eye: all tools misbehaved, even clocks would spin backward or slow down to taunt you. Today on the Mickey Mouse show, all problems are solved swiftly with Assurance, if only you ask for help. Even the questions on the little quizzes they prompt make you feel as if you're solving a problem, but before any frustration can set in one of your four choices automatically fits its designated role, so a bridge will land over stream of water, or a ladder will fall into place, but there is a magical sing-along chant to ask for help and the solution will arrive The contrariness of reality, the hazards, and overcoming have been removed: all solutions are at hand if you submit to asking someone else to take care of it for you. Congratulations, you are a mousekadoer who did nothing. Step 57: Design facilitates AgencyPart 2: design, dials, and free will We have a problem today: part of it goes back to that Cartesian Net Alan Watts was talking about: the grid we throw over the world in order to measure dissect and parse the inter-related complexities of the world. We can also refer to this as the Techno-rational mindset, where we reduce the world into smaller, isolated metrics to try to figure out what's going on, rather than gauging it holistically. We look for a bolt or o-ring that caused the problem. This is real, and it works, but it also generates more left-brain-centric solutions: limited solutions that cannot account for cascading environmental variables. In short, today, we design out vital feedback. We are pulled out of our environment and our bodily connection to sensory information is impoverished. Adrienne Cussins says we can know how fast we are moving through our sight/body/perception, but we now have an abstraction that tells us: this is the speedometer. When I was first learning to drive, I remember my dad telling me to stop looking at the speedometer, that I could judge how fast I was going just by gauging the rapidity of telephone poles passing, or basically, by looking around. And, bonus, besides just ‘feeling' your speed it is safer because it keeps you from “chimping” at the dashboard. “chimping” is what photographers call checking every photo on the little LCD screen on your camera.But the speedometer, this additional information about how fast you are going is conveyed in numbers or a dial with numbers. It is an abstract substitution for sensory information. It interferes and pulls you out of sensory reality into an interface. Don't get me wrong, the abstraction has utility and purpose. Just like the abstract sounds that make up our language, it helps us communicate, and if we leverage this information we have a tool that maximizes utility. What I mean by this is that abstraction is a reductive model, necessarily, but it allows us to communicate in more fixed terms, these agreed-upon terms are a new fulcrum that bypasses the messiness of the subjective, experiential terms… > “really officer? 110? But it only felt like I was going 50” Feelings are subjective and slippery, so abstract measures have utility. But also, reliance on the measurement tends to drift into reliance on the dials. The more complex a machine the more we delegate understanding to gauges, which are reductive mediations for reality: we reduce our understanding of reality for the short-hand of the dial.(This is similar to Goodhart's law, where we replace the actual thing being measured with the metric we measure it with.) For instance, We now offer “attention assist” for drivers, and “blindspot assist” and auto-parallel parking, and even self-driving. We now “idiot-proof” driving, and yet there seem to be more idiots on the road. Like the guy who was sleeping in the back of his Tesla while it drove him home. This is peculiar… it is as if handing off our situational awareness stems from (is caused by) handing off the steps of mechanical understanding. The less we understand the process between function and dial (reality and abstract notification) the more we are psychologically prepared to hand over perception itself… leaving us alone inside our wonderfully sound-proofed car, inside our wonderfully isolated heads.“Those who present choices to us appear as handmaidens to our own freedom.” Matthew Crawford It is, to paraphrase Cormac McCarthy in the Counselor, as though we think we can move through this world and yet not take part in it, not have it affect us.What a strange ethic, what a strange philosophy.  Step 57: Design facilitates Agency Part 3: VR as MoralityBut, after all, this is the ultimate dream, right? A type of severance? To pass through the world untethered and untouched. To rule the body as a submissive subject, only allowing pleasure, muting pain. And thus, we gravitate towards a dream of Virtual Reality, where the difficulties of reality morph into abstracted difficulties of mind. Perhaps in VR we have a new morality with unpluggable consequences, yet it is completely designed by others: thus our morality in VR is not autonomy, it is not agency or freedom, it is heteronomy, which is our morality defined by an outside other… something alien to us, perhaps a machine. The larger issue here, because don't forget we are somewhat of a philosophy podcast, is as Crawford says, Our WILL, the human will, is looking for how to guide itself, and when it finds itself governed by the laws of objects, it tends to follow the “object's desire” as if it is our own. The object outside of us is, as Immanuel Kant says,“an alien interest, and you should not administer to it's purposes” but instead your will should “manifest it's own sovereign authority as supreme maker of the law.” Immanuel KantThis is a bit over the top. Crawford points out that for Kant, “to be rational is precisely not to be situated in the world.” ~ and when we cease to engage with difficult objects of the empirical world, the WILL becomes freer in a rational world without restraint, without grounding. And does this not seem like the goal of VR, virtual reality? Kant wanted the will to be outside influence, to be a law unto itself ~ but this also reduces agency, especially in a Newtonian sense: if you remove the will to a separate realm it can have no causal affect in this world. the fantasy of autonomy comes at a price of impotence. Matthew CrawfordStep 57: Design facilitates Agency Part 2: BreatherSo let's take a breather for a second because that was a lot: to go from speedometers into morality and alien control of our will through objects which rob us of autonomy, yet, also, to remove our will from conditions of the world, like an escape to moral Virtual Reality, isolates our will in an untouchable realm, which also robs us of autonomy and agency. Once again, “you cannot move through this world, yet not take part in it.”So this is a breather, and I wanted to give a shout out to my buddy Eli Walker, who reached out after the last episode. We texted about the body and design, and he mentioned this amazing video where Keith Haring, the artist, walks up to a wall mentally Maps it out and in one shot completes a total mural with no spacing issues. Which is nearly impossible. And, as Eli said, is proven by our inability to even write out a Wi-Fi password on a scrap of paper without having to scrunch the text at the end, much less tackle an entire wall. So when we were talking about embodied cognition: our body's ability to perceive space is phenomenal, yet we don't live in a culture that employs this. Instead, we now have apps that measure out rooms for us, yet I know men who can look at a wall and say that's 19 ft 6 in. and be spot on. I know people who can pick up a screw and say that's a number 6, 1 5/8 in, can bend conduit pipe without measuring, quilt without patterns, or plow a field in a straight line with no Satellite guidance. We have, over time, through flattened screens, lost our basic orientation through kinetic physicality, which we discussed last time: moving through space is how we perceive, relate, and cognate. And this lead us back into our podcast, where we now design reliance where we once developed skill. Step 57: Design facilitates Agency Part 3: concept prep In the last episode, we discussed the human body as a perception mechanism gathering information and reacting to it rapidly through sort of subroutines that never reach our conscious brain. Like feeling the slip of your bike tire, or feeling the wood about to splinter. Or, even when we walk, the ground is rising, step higher. By moving we find the affordances our environment offers. Unfortunately, some situations have to be learned: you proabably didn't know your body could map out a whole wall for a mural, and you probably don't know that a banana peel is slippery to step on until you have seen 37 slapstick cartoons. In the book “the upper half of the motorcycle” Bernt Speigel says “one simply has to know about some situations before Behavior can be adapted on the basis of this knowledge.” This is fascinating: essentially you have to have a concept in order to recognize and attune your body to the unique coalescence of factors that create a situation. For instance, if you are told what black ice looks like, that it looks like pavement and the best solution is do nothing it is counter intuitive, or maybe if you are in a desert and know a mirage looks like an Oasis, you can restrain yourself from punching Noel Gallagher. But if no one tells you a banana peel is slippery you will be unprepared: we need the concept to recognize the situation. ~ And this comes from others, from the community. Once recognized, we adopt a posture that allows us to react, to mirror our forecasting of the situation that may occur. Our body prepares for the possible, and what this does is reduce our reaction time: we don't want to have to involve the computation of the brain: it is too slow, too taxing. Use the body. Instead we perceive the situational affordance through embodied sense making. This requires attention. Attention, which is distracted and stolen by staring at a speedometer. Or a phone. I keep referring to driving because Crawford does, and it is a good vehicle for the ideas: it is a relatable mid-ground between the self's agency and larger systems… it embodies the individual will, yet is social, physical, and made possible through complex machinery that amplifies our actions. But concept prep and environmental awareness can also work for craftsmanship: As a matter of design, to reach a skill level of mastery, we want to reduce the cognitive leaping about, the projecting and forecasting of several hypothesises (hypothesi?)… that are interfering. These small mental ramblings are like mosquito bites, stealing your attention. We need to design an environment that sets us up for embodied flow, relieve the mind of it's anxieties, and reach a zen state, a flow state, as Crawford says, as state of “Alert watchfulness, without meddling” — YET, this does not happen unless you are involved. “involve your ass, your mind will follow.” converse: “free your ass, your mind will wander” But here's the deal: it takes work and risk and a bit of danger: John Muir, author of ‘how to keep your volkswagon alive' says “we must have skin in the game” If we drove cars strapped to the front, like an Aztec sacrifice, we would be much more cautious with our driving. Safety design actually alleviates awareness and caution, or circumspection: it reduces the need to attend and negotiate. John MuirWhen people do not have to consider, then “being unaware” they behave recklessly to undermine the very design that is protecting them. Amplify this for each iteration and more safety equals more reckless nonconsideration. This implies it may be impossible to idiot-proof, and even more concerning is idiot-proofing, safety, leads humans to be unable to navigate the world without themselves becoming idiots… we become mousekadoers, unable to tolerate frustration and always asking for help so we can retreat back to the safety of our own minds. And by idiots, Crawford previously defines idiota from the Greek: meaning a private person detached from the implications of how we move through society or the world.To be an idiot is behaving as if we were in private when we are actually in public: To assume your preferences take precedence.Step 57: Design facilitates Agency Part 4: A rebuttal to the rebuttalIs Crawford saying idiot-proofing is encouraging us to behave like idiots? Is he saying that safety features make us less safe? We are, after all, protecting and helping through design. The forethought of engineers saves lives.It is easy to have a knee-jerk reaction to this, and start saying things like “oh you want to remove speedometers from cars? Why don't we just get rid of speed limits, Mario Andretti? What's next? Getting rid of the stop signs and right of way?” And interestingly enough, Jeff Speck in “Walkable City” talks about a concept called Naked Streets. The idea is exactly to remove signage and right of way, narrow lanes, and get rid of crosswalks. Where this has been implemented it decreases traffic accidents and the severity of accidents. The “common sense” approach is to widen streets so that people have more visibility, but that only encourages people to speed up since they can see further. We put in stoplights and stop signs, which tell people “you have the right to go now.” And speed limits tend to be reinterpreted to “drive 5 mph faster.”These environmental mediations through abstract symbols, a green light or a red light or a sign with a number, tell you how to behave without the necessity for you to truly address your environment. Someone has predetermined consideration, so you don't have to. You no longer negotiate with your environment or others: you have the “right of way” and off-load the responsibility of cautiously, attentively, navigating the shared public realm. This lead us (finally) to the concept of design and agency. Human agency is our ability to affect change -to consider a situation, make a choice, and feel the power and responsibility of that decision. Rules and nudges that direct our behavior (through hijacking automatic responses) also rob us of our agency of self-determination. (There is no decision to be made, thus no autonomy.) Over time we trade our agency for legal certitude: a right/wrong binary and social guide based laid out as a cartesian abstraction. Similar to dials that convey reduced information by requiring no attentive negotiation to a complex reality we free our minds to daydream, our hands to twiddle on phones, and a once public ballet of interaction becomes isolated, individual bubbles colliding. So far we have focused on how mediating through design reduces primary sensory input to the human, actually detaching them from the environment and world. Yet there is a kind of design, like “naked streets”, that feels like anti-design: removing the over-designed mediation as a means of reconnection and returning agency to the human. A literal human-centric-design philosophy, where insight bolsters human flourishing, not just parading ergonomic door handles as the lever to freedom.  Step 57: Design facilitates AgencyPart 5: the world without maps the world is it's own best model We talked last episode about robot design, and how brute-force computation is costly and slow, while physical design and haptic feedback is much more efficient and elegant as a solution. And of course the best models of this come through Evolution and the world itself. Yet here we are talking about how designs mediate reality into an abstraction, a dial that tells us how fast we are going, or a sign it tells us how fast we should be going. These are symbols, and symbols are granted meaning by society, thus grounding them in a universal language, which has great utility. And we now want to create symbols to ground all things. What is fascinating about skipping the symbol and returning to the embodied representations, is as Arthur Glennberg says “embodied representations do not need to be mapped onto the world to become meaningful because they arise from the world.”Arthur Glennberg That is if your body derives information directly from the world we do not need to encode and decode it: it is uniquely instantaneous. We do not need a map of the world when the world is its own best model. indeed the map is not the territory. And reducing the encoding-decoding process to experience the world directly also allows us to learn more rapidly. This is because multiple senses are bound together, coupled, in the learning process. this is called cross-modal binding. Not only do we glean information through multiple senses, sights sounds and feelings and location, but we bind those experiences to a shared commonality – time. These experiences all occur simultaneously, co-occur, and coordinated into a Time locked stream of information. The upshot of this is our brain binds from various senses a coherent sensory pattern of time signatures, this timestamp becomes “the thing in itself” When all of our sensory data is mediated, it is an abstraction, and and when we turn that abstraction into a falsification, such as the sound of a V8 rumbling engine now running through your speakers because the car no longer sounds that way, we have falsely informative information. We are now going to Great Lengths to create the exact opposite of reality as a substitute for reality, pretending to stand in for the truncated reality. And suddenly we're back into talking about the simulacra, from steps 38 and 39, a false reality that forgot it's purpose. What is our means to counteract this? On the most simple level, it is to actually do something physical. To move. Not only is Locomotion indispensable to learning, but only self-motion can accomplish this, not VR or flat screens. It also begins to provide true options, not simply choices. Most online environments and even much of our built environment have pre-existing choice architectures, paths already prepared for us, and over time we conflate choosing with doing. We literally think we can only go right or left, who we are as a person is defined by the 4 color choices for our car. “what does that red say about me as a person?” It is so impoverished and limited. And we are back to being good mousekadoers. “if choosing replaces doing for the mouse-clicking mousekedoer, it figures that such a disengage self should be especially pliable to the “choice architectures” to get installed in public spaces.”You do not find yourself merely by choosing, you find yourself by doing. And it is frustrating and painful to encounter the real world that has an objectness and will of its own, unlike the mickey mouse challenges, unlike the models in our heads, but engaging the real world is also real overcoming, and a step closer to genuine self-reliance and a truer form of autonomy. 

In part 2 with Fernando Domínguez Rubio, a professor of communications at UCSD and author of Still Life: Ecologies of the Modern Imagination at the Art Museum, he talks about: The astonishing resources that go into some museum artworks, starting with David Lamelas's conceptual installation “Office,” which MoMA bought and decided to reproduce, but were reproducing an installation that no longer existed, and yet they did everything they could to be true to the original piece, based only off photographs; the ‘modern aesthetic regime of art,' and how art that once rebelled against museums and museum inclusion – was anti-institution – is now embracing as many angles of commodification as it (via the artist) can; the savvy machinations of the artist Tino Seghal; and, as part of our discussion of art words and conservation-based artist interviews, we play out a MoMA interview with the artist James Rosenquist, which raises one of Rubio's big questions: “what is a museum-- is it not a necessary absurdity?”
