My brother has arrived! He settled into his sharehouse, took a tour around the neighborhood, and began working on-site with me. We've already made great progress on excavating more trash, old furniture, and unneeded material. A more pristine work site is on its way. I've also met with my architect a few more times. As we wait for the 3D model to come in, I've been starting with tasks that don't need an architect's blueprints. First up is digging French drains around the property. I'll make sure to share photos of the process, as I've researched some best practices from both books and YouTube. I'm also thinking of renting a backhoe to remove the muddy topsoil from the main road, compact the soil below, and install pavers or cobblestones. I may need to reinforce the side of the road as well. My neighbors have said that the previous owners used to drive their cars all the way up to the house back in the day, so I hope I can mend the road to its previous strength.I read a quote from T.S. Eliot once that always stuck with me, and it's been coming to mind quite a bit this month:Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?― T.S. Eliot, The RockEven though Eliot first published The Rock in 1934, the quote rings as true today as ever. Thanks to Google, we have the world's information at our fingertips, and thanks to AI language models, we have it at a moment's notice. And thanks to innovations in building technology, we now have the information to build safe, indestructible buildings quickly and cheaply. But I sense that we have lost the wisdom to build beautifully, to build harmoniously. In today's podcast, The Classical Language of Architecture will unearth some clues to that wisdom. We will learn about the Greek and Roman “Orders” and how to use them in our buildings. We will learn about the philosophy of harmony and storytelling that drives classical architecture.The author Sir John Summerson will teach us about the fascinating history of the Orders as well. After the fall of the Roman Empire, societies across the European continent lived among the ruins. But the knowledge of how to build as the Romans faded from memory — until an Italian scholar rediscovered an ancient text by a Roman engineer almost 1,400 years after it was first written.How lucky we are to live in a world where that knowledge was not lost forever. For me, Summerson's book is my first introduction to the classical language of architecture. It has helped me to look at the built environment around me with a fresh set of eyes.

Motivational interviewing (MI) is a professional practice, a behavioral therapy, and a self-professed conversation style that encourages clients to talk themselves into change.

By the seventh century, Christian thinkers of East and West were settling into scholastic methods, synthesizing and systematizing the thought of their Greek or Latin forebears. Maximus represents the best mind (by far) in this movement. Greek by origin, he spent decades living in Latin lands. His writing reflected the beauty and brilliance of piety and theology on both sides of the Mediterranean. In Maximus (to steal a phrase from Pope John Paul II) the Church breathed with both lungs. He marshaled all the resources of East and West to oppose the emerging Monothelite heresy. The emperor, meanwhile, pinned his hopes on the heresy to unite the empire against rising Islam—and Maximus suffered brutal torture and exile.

It’s a troubling case: Two truck drivers accused of kidnapping women and then forcing them into prostitution or holding them for ransom. Yet somehow, Brian T.

The Key Learning Points:1. Advice for young people starting their careers after leaving school2. The importance of encouraging young people of varying backgrounds to enter the industry, not just those with prior experience in financial services3. Tips for women on building a network and asking for support from peersIn this week's episode of the Risky Mix podcast, we speak with Natalie Summerson and Evie Plumb from Canada Life. Natalie has had a successful career in the protection industry, gaining account management experience across a number of major insurers including Scottish Provident and Aviva. She is currently Head of Sales for individual protection at Canada Life, and is a passionate advocate of diversity in the workplace, particularly in recruiting new talent.With no prior experience in insurance, Evie Plumb has already made her mark in the two and a half years she has been at Canada Life where she is now strategic account manager. Natalie started off with aspirations to become a teacher due to her passion for science and went on to college where she studied biology, chemistry and psychology.After a year at college, the lure of earning her own money was calling and she left to become an office junior for a financial services company in north London. It was there she learnt about business, and later left to join the world of insurance, becoming a sales support coordinator at Scottish Provident where she eventually got her big break at 19, becoming an account manager for a large distributor in London. Natalie took some time out of the workplace to have her daughter, and on returning joined AXA, working there for five years before moving to Aviva. She was given the opportunity to learn about the other parts of the functioning business and developed a broad understanding of how things worked. It was then that she applied to work at Canada Life, feeling that she could safely tick all of the boxes in the new role. Natalie feels that “we should be encouraging young talent into our sector”. She speaks about the role that young people can play in insurance and how they can “help shape and scope” propositions and distribution to reflect today's consumers. Natalie thinks it's important that we encourage young people to enter our industry, not necessarily with a financial services background, but who have the drive and resilience to succeed. Evie Plumb was one such individual.When Evie left school, she was worried that she didn't know what to do yet felt everyone else around her did. She did an apprenticeship in business administration which gave her a general understanding and experience of the business world and how to liaise with people. It was the yearning to try new things that led her to apply for her current role at Canada Life. Her advice to other young women working in the industry, and looking to develop, is to shadow people. She believes that observing and meeting new people are key, and suggests lending a hand and supporting social events, where possible.Natalie explains that “as a female in this industry, it's not always easy”, explaining the value of building a network. She also emphasises the importance of asking for support from peers when needed.

Dominic and Cymene begin with a deep dive into the marvelous world of goat yoga and wonder what other animals should get into the game. Of course, we only learned about goat yoga because of this week’s guest, the fabulous Summerson Carr from the University of Chicago. We talk to her (17:39) about her most recent book, Scale: Discourse and Dimensions of Social Life (co-edited with Michael Lempert, downloadable for free at luminosoa.org) and explore why scale has become such a resonant thematic across the human sciences today. We talk about how researchers often pre-scale their objects of analysis and why scaling always seems to mean thinking bigger. That gets us to talking about climate science and how American scientists in particular are both undermined by anti-intellectualism but also informed by pragmatist ideas of knowledge that suspend certainty in favor of inquiry into the unknown. Summerson tells us about the similarities she sees between anthropology and social work and how we might attend to the plurality of scaling practices at work in the world. Switching gears, Summerson tells us the amazing story of a 66 foot concrete Japanese dock that set to sea by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and its several months’ voyage across the Pacific to Oregon. And that brings us to her amazing “Operation Bedbug” essay, which shows how bedbugs have forced a recalibration of social workers’ professional expertise beyond means-ends thinking and toward embracing the experimental possibilities of the present moment. We close with her current research on therapeutic animals and, of course, the discovery of goat yoga. If you’re feeling stressed out dear listeners chances are there is a goat yoga situation near you. Send us pictures!
