If your teaching requires students to read or work with texts, and things have gotten a little stale in the engagement department, this episode will give you some great new strategies to try. High school English teachers Susan Barber and Brian Sztabnik once felt the same way, so they curated tons of fun, interactive, interesting text-based activities in their new book, 100% Engagement: 33 Lessons to Promote Participation, Beat Boredom, and Deepen Learning in the ELA Classroom. In this episode, they'll share three of their favorites. ______________________________________________________________ Thanks to Solution Tree and Listenwise for sponsoring the episode.

8. Later Films and the Importance of Sid Scott Eyman Charlie Chaplin versus America: When Art, Sex, and Politics Collided Chaplin's first European film, A King in New York (1957), suffered as he struggled with English union rules, highlighting his dependence on absolute creative autonomy. His final film, A Countess from Hong Kong (1967), was hampered by the casting of Marlon Brando, insisted upon by Universal. Brando proved mechanical and unsuited for the film's romantic rescue plot. Ultimately, Chaplin's half-brother, Sid, remained the indispensable cornerstone of his life, always ready to help or rescue him. 1936

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 26, 2025 is: cognoscente • kahn-yuh-SHEN-tee • noun Cognoscente refers to a person with expert knowledge in a subject. It is usually encountered in its plural form, cognoscenti, and preceded by the. // The audience at the club, though small, was full of writers, musicians, and other noteworthy members of the jazz cognoscenti. See the entry > Examples: "Even as [Ray] Bradbury was embraced by the New York cognoscenti—traveling to the city in the fall of '46, drawing the attention of Truman Capote, meeting Gore Vidal, dancing with Carson McCullers at a Manhattan party—Mars beckoned. Yet he would not dare tell his New York associates, for fear of being laughed out of the room." — Sam Weller, LitHub.com, 28 Apr. 2025 Did you know? Cognoscente and connoisseur—both terms for those in the know—are more than synonyms; they're also linguistic cousins. Both terms descend from the Latin verb cognōscere, meaning "to know," and they're not alone. You might guess that cognizance and cognition are members of the cognōscere clan. Do you also recognize a family resemblance in recognize? Can you see through the disguise of incognito? Did you have a premonition that we would mention precognition? Cognoscente itself came to English by way of Italian and has been a part of the language since the late 1700s.

Hey there! It's Michael here — and welcome back to another Happy English Sunday Speak. I'm here every Sunday with a quick one-point tip to help you speak English more naturally. Now, In spoken American English, we often connect words together, and when we do, the sounds change. That's called connected speech. You'll hear it all the time in words and phrases like ya, didja, and whaddaya.So instead of saying “Do you”, Americans usually say “d'ya” or just “ya.” “Do you like sushi?” → “D'ya like sushi?” or “Ya like sushi?”Instead of “Did you”, we say “didja.” “Did you see that movie?” → “Didja see that movie?”And instead of “What do you,” we say “whaddaya.” “What do you think?” → “Whaddaya think?” “What do you mean?” → “Whaddaya mean?”This kind of connected speech makes English sound smoother and faster — the way people really talk. So next time you listen to native speakers, try to catch those little sound changes. Ya hear 'em? That's connected speech!Thanks for listening.

The year is1878 - and Cape Governor Sir Sir Bartle Frere is throwing the empire's weight around South Africa. Let's put ourselves in his shoes because some historians say he had a formidable Machiavellian personality, full of fatal overconfidence, too used to having his own way and to ignoring the magnitude of obstacles confronting him. One of those perceived obstacles was Zulu king, Cetshwayo kaMpande. Crowned in 1873 after the death of his father, Mpande kaSenzangakhona, Cetshwayo presided over a squabbling nation. His great place, Ondini, is close to where Ulundi is today. It was vast, elliptical in shape, stretching from 650 metres in one axis, to 507 in another. The outer circumference of his ikhanda, the royal residence, was over two kilometers long. The second part of his great place was a smaller group of ikhanda, and called emaNgweni. The unusual point about emaNgweni is that the principal hut was actually a western style house. The Norwegian missionaries at Empangeni had helped build this, consisting of three rooms with glass windows, along with wooden doors and whitewashed walls, under a thatched roof. Cetshwayo went a step further at Ondini, where his special residence was build out of sun dried bricks burned black. These materials were given to Cetshwayo by Norwegian Mission Society's Reverend Ommund Oftebro. Ommund sounds like the uMondi, the Zulu word for a sweet, aromatic herb. This is a herb used to treat flatulance, ie farting, so there's some irony in the fact that Reverend Ommund Oftebro's mission station was acalled uMondi. It's on the outskirts of Eshowe. This black bricked building at Ondini was larger than his other retreat, four wallpapered rooms, glazed windows and verandahs at the back and the front. It also had two outside doors with locks. The rooms contained European furniture, a washstand and a large mirror. King Cetshwayo would hold court in this house, tending to the affairs of state, consulting his councillors. At night, the doors would be locked and guarded by two women, armed with guns. Yes folks, women with guns. Cetshwayo's chief gun-runner and a chief himself, John Dunne the English trader, personally trained Zulu VIP guards in how to shoot. The bodyguards would be instructed in musketry and were armed with short carbines, ideal for close quarter bodyguarding. Dunn took the women into the veld every day in the late afternoon, and target practice would follow which included peppering the local aloes. This echelon of women bodyguards accompanied Cetshwayo when he visited his chiefs ikhanda around Zululand with the intention of protecting him when the male amabutho were away. One of his maids in waiting, Nomguqo Dlamini, told of her life in the ikhanda in a rare book called Servant of Two Kings by Paulina Dlamini - she became a Christian and changed her name. The book is full of information about day to day life in the late 1870s, how the gatekeeper at onDini woke everyone by calling out the king's praises, Cetshwayo would emerge after the women of the isigodlo had swept up the yard, then he often went off his sporting guns to hunt birds. Later, the king would head off to a small enclosure in the Royal Kraal where he would stand on a stone and be washed with water from the Mbilane stream, and rubbed down. The young men who attended the king were trusted sons of senior chiefs of the Xulu line, as well as other sons of Mnyamana. At the meeting of amabutho warriors in 1875, Cetshwayo had granted permission for the INdlondlo ibutho to put on their headrings and marry. These were men in the 40s, the iNdlondlo regiment had been formed way back in 1857, and these men had waited patiently for their turn to take wives. The problem was, he gave them permission to seek brides from the iNgcugce ibutho, where the girls there had been born between 1850 and 1853. They were far younger than the grizzled warriors seeking their hands in marriage.

In this research-powered, globe-spanning episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D. welcomes Craig Furneaux, PhD to unpack the how, why, and how-much of building a reserve fund for nonprofit organizations. With his classic Aussie warmth and academic rigor, Craig takes us behind the scenes of nonprofit finance in Australia, where the accounting system doesn't distinguish between sectors and the idea of building a reserve fund gets complicated fast. It's not just about stacking cash, too much in the bank can actually hurt your fundraising case. And if you're not careful, you could end up with the regulatory equivalent of a boomerang to the head. Dr. Furneaux and his co-author Dr. Renee Irwin went full Sherlock Holmes on this topic, digging into five years of nonprofit income data across multiple sectors and sizes. The result? A treasure trove of insights and a fresh take on the old “three-month rule” for reserves. Spoiler alert: three months might work for medium-sized organizations, but smaller ones? You're gonna need more, closer to six months, to weather the storm. Large organizations can squeak by with less, thanks to their flexibility and larger safety nets. The key word here? Resiliency. Whether it's currency drops, funding cuts, or another round of HR legislation chaos, reserve funds are the emergency kit every nonprofit needs before the next metaphorical (or literal) hurricane hits. But it's not just about the math, it's about the message. Communicating the need for reserves to donors requires storytelling finesse. Craig suggests analogies that hit home, like prepping for a natural disaster. "We're not hoarding, we're being prudent stewards," he explains. The goal? Helping donors understand that a healthy reserve isn't a luxury, it's a lifeline. That means it's up to you, fundraiser friend, to show them why some unspent dollars today could be the reason your doors stay open tomorrow. So how much is just right? There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but this episode gives you the tools, and the evidence, to figure it out. Whether you're running a tiny arts nonprofit or a sprawling health system, the research can help you build a solid case for reserves. Start small, aim high, and remember: it's not about fear, it's about foresight. As always, The Fund Raising School is here to equip you with knowledge, strategy, and just the right amount of inspiration (and maybe a little financial jargon translated into plain English). Because resilience isn't just a buzzword, it's your mission's best friend in a crisis.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 25, 2025 is: wreak • REEK • verb Wreak means “to cause something very harmful or damaging.” It is often used with on or upon. // The virus wreaked havoc on my laptop. See the entry > Examples: “Ours is a geography of cataclysm: Santa Anas wreak their psychic wrath; the odor of disaster seeps from the street like that sulfurous egg smell of the La Brea Tar Pits.” — John Lopez, The Hollywood Reporter, 6 Sept. 2025 Did you know? In its early days, wreak was synonymous with avenge, a meaning exemplified when Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus proclaims “We will solicit heaven, and move the gods / To send down Justice for to wreak our wrongs.” This sense is now archaic, but the association hasn't been lost: although wreak is today most often paired with havoc, it is also still sometimes paired with words like vengeance and destruction. We humbly suggest you avoid wreaking any of that, however, no matter how badly you may crave your just deserts.

Founder Arturo Lewin unpacks the drayage grind behind U.S. imports—how Alliance Worldwide Logistics Corp grew from a two-truck hustle into a reliable intermodal carrier by obsessing over turn times, chassis and free-time clocks. The Blue-Collar Twins dig into pricing discipline (detention/demurrage/accessorials), owner-operator recruiting, port/rail expansion, and the culture/tech stack that keeps containers moving when everyone else is stuck at the gate. You'll hear: Port Playbook: dispatch, pre-pulls, and the free-time math that saves customers from five-figure D&D bills.Pricing That Holds: accessorials, fuel, per-diem, and how to educate shippers without losing the relationship.Fleet Strategy: balancing company rigs with owner-ops, safety incentives, and dedicated lanes.Ops Backbone: TMS + ELD + GPS + EDI, photo proof at every milestone, and real-time customer updates.Expansion Moves: port to rail ramp, inland hubs, and when to say no to the wrong freight.People & Culture: training dispatchers to think in “minutes and miles,” not just loads and rates.

//The Wire//2300Z October 24, 2025////PRIORITY////BLUF: U.K. MISTAKENLY RELEASES MIGRANT THAT SPARKED THE EPPING RIOTS, MANHUNT UNDERWAY FOR THE FUGITIVE. BRITISH DIGITAL ID SCHEME TO TARGET CITIZENS FOR NONCOMPLIANCE. VEHICLE RAMMING ATTACK REPORTED AT COAST GUARD BASE IN CALIFORNIA. USA TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA TERMINATED AS CANADA LAUNCHES PROPAGANDA AD CAMPAIGN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: In an interview regarding the Digital ID scheme, PM Starmer revealed that the penalty for not getting and using a Digital ID will be a fee of £85 for every instance of financial transaction that would ordinarily require an ID under this new plan.This afternoon, a separate situation developed as a major police operation was declared in Essex after the Epping Hotel attacker was allegedly mistakenly released from prison. Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu was released by police this morning, rather than being deported. Currently a manhunt is underway, and local citizens are urged to be on the lookout for the violent criminal. Local police have not provided a description of Kebatu other than his mugshot, however a local citizen posted a video on social media after they spotted a man matching his description carrying his belongings in a clear trash bag. This footage was taken before the wanted notice went out, and the grey sweat/tracksuit he was wearing matches the description that court reporters visually saw him wearing earlier that day in court.Geolocation of this video evidence places Kebatu's last known location outside a cafe at Number 84 on the High Street in Chelmsford. The video cuts off before Kebatu's destination could be confirmed, but his last known azimuth places him traveling North up High Street, toward the bus station.Analyst Comment: Kebatu is an Ethiopian national who assaulted a child and a woman in Epping back in July, prompting the now-infamous Epping Riots. He had only been detained for roughly a month, and was supposed to be deported as a way of the British government showing that they do indeed deport violent criminals. However this shining example of good faith has been dashed, and the already dismal public sentiment on the issue is about to get a lot worse.To put it lightly, it is in Mr. Kebatu's very best interest for the *police* to find him as soon as possible. On the one hand, it is true that the British government let a violent criminal out of jail. But on the other hand that also means that he is no longer under police protection, he has no documentation, doesn't speak English, and no one knows where he is. Anyway, a few protests and demonstrations are well underway in Epping, and time is of the essence to find him, before the trail goes cold.Canada: The United States has suspended trade negotiations with Canada due to the discovery of a propaganda campaign targeting Americans. The government of Ontario ran a $75 million ad campaign featuring a speech by Ronald Reagan, in which he spoke negatively about the idea of tariffs. This speech, however, was a fabrication using clips and words selectively cut from Reagan's 1987 address in order to make it look like Reagan was not in favor of tariffs...when the actual uncut speech was actually in favor of tariffs.Analyst Comment: There's a saying in the world of psyops...a deception campaign can never fail. Even if discovered, the deception effort will cause doubt as to what's real, so there will always be some level of effectiveness. In this case, Canadian officials thought they were being cute by playing fast and loose, but this was not simply a harmless meme or something obviously fake. The content that was produced was fully intended to take the place of true information, and when carried out by a nationstate to manipulate the internal sentiment of a foreign nation, this a very serious charge. The sheer scale of this propaganda cam

"The self-made man is a lie that we have taught people to keep them from complaining, to keep them from whining, to keep them from asking for better from their government, to keep them from asking for better from their employer." The two Steves – Hall and Grumbine – get together to dismantle the myth of the self-made man, exposing it as a centuries-old political weapon designed to disempower the working class. Professor Hall traces the roots of this "possessive individualism" back centuries, saying it is not a recent neoliberal invention but a deeply embedded cultural force with origins in changes in English law, specifically the spread of primogeniture (inheritance by the first-born son) in the 12th century. He goes on to explain the consequences of these historical events. The conversation reframes the American Dream as a form of mass gambling. Despite overwhelming evidence that most people fail, the system encourages a zero-sum mindset where we focus on the lottery-like winners. The Steves agree that facts alone won't break this spell. They discuss the need for a new emotionally compelling narrative that counters the right's fear-mongering. Steve Hall is Emeritus Professor of Criminology at the University of Teesside. He is a polymath who has published in the fields of criminology, sociology, anthropology, history, economic history, political theory and philosophy. He is also co-author of Violent Night (Berg 2006, with Simon Winlow), Rethinking Social Exclusion (Sage 2013, with Simon Winlow), Riots and Political Protest (Routledge 2015, with Simon Winlow, James Treadwell and Daniel Briggs), Revitalizing Criminological Theory (Routledge 2015, with Simon Winlow), The Rise of the Right (with Simon Winlow and James Treadwell) and The Death of the Left (with Simon Winlow). He is co-editor of New Directions in Criminological Theory (Routledge 2012, with Simon Winlow). In 2017 he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the international Extreme Anthropology Research Network at the University of Vienna. @ProfHall1955 on X

Hey there! It's Michael here, and welcome back to another Happy English Saturday Short, your quick tip for speaking English better.Today, let's look at two really common and super natural phrases you'll hear in everyday English: “You know what?” and “Guess what?” We use both of these when we want to grab someone's attention - usually before we share some news, an idea, or an opinion. They make your speech sound lively and conversational and they're kind of like how we say, “Hey, listen to this!”Like:  “You know what? I think I'm finally getting used to this cool weather.” Or: “You know what? I've decided to start going to the gym again.”And guess what? is even more playful. We use it when we're excited to share news or something surprising. Like:  “Guess what? I passed my driving test!”  Or:  “Guess what? My favorite band is coming to Japan!”When you use you know what or guess what, your tone matters. Both phrases sound best with energy and a rising intonation - it builds a little excitement before you say your news. So remember...you know what and guess what, are great for starting a story, sharing good news, or giving an opinion in a fun, natural way. And you know what? I think you're gonna sound even more fluent when you start using these in your conversations!Oh, and don't forget to follow or subscribe so you don't miss the next Happy English Podcast and next week's Saturday Short.

Lucas Teodoro and his organization Aviva is focused on evangelism and youth outreach on university campuses in Brazil.  Aviva has been active for 5 years, reaching over 9,000 university students in Brazil's largest federal universities. They organize weekly “evangelism flows” led by students to continue the outreach efforts. They recently conducted their first large crusade event in Rio de Janeiro, which saw over 2,000 decisions for Christ. The core message they preach is the gospel of Jesus Christ, seeking to address the challenges facing Brazilian youth like depression, anxiety, and family problems. Despite facing opposition and threats on some campuses, the team remains committed to boldly sharing the gospel with university students across the country. The organization's name “Aviva” means “revival” in English, and their vision is to expand these crusade and campus outreach efforts globally.

When you think of popular Bible stories, like the Christmas story, you might imagine particular things — that Mary and Joseph were poor, that they traveled through the desert to get to Bethlehem, or even that Jesus was born in a dirty barn. But are those things really true?Sometimes we approach Scripture with Western eyes and English translations that don't give us a complete picture of the historical and cultural reality of these stories.The new book, Wow! I Didn't Know!: Things You Never Knew About the Stories of Jesus by Dr. Craig & Ginny Evans, dives deeper into Scripture to shine a light on common misconceptions and reveal the more likely facts that can not only deepen our understanding, but change the way we view the stories that many of us know by heart – not only the Christmas story, but many from Scripture.Order your copy of Wow!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 24, 2025 is: rancid • RAN-sid • adjective Rancid usually describes something edible that has a strong and unpleasant smell or taste because it is no longer fresh. In figurative use, rancid describes things that are very distasteful or offensive. // The corpse flower, which is the largest known individual flower of any plant species, stays open five to seven days and emits a rancid odor. See the entry > Examples: "A great oil should smell green, fresh, alive. Give it a sniff before pouring: Even once-vibrant olive oils can start to lose their aroma after a while. If the oil smells bland, it's best for sautéing, roasting or baking rather than finishing. If it smells rancid (or waxy), toss it." — Andy Baraghani, The New York Times, 27 Aug. 2025 Did you know? Rancid and putrid and fetid—oh my! All three words are used to describe unpleasant smells and tastes, and each traces its roots to a "stinky" Latin word: rancid can be traced back to rancēre; the root of putrid shares an ancestor with putēre; and fetid comes from foetēre—all verbs meaning "to stink." Not long after entering the language in the early 17th century, rancid also developed a second, figurative sense which is used for non-gustatory and non-olfactory offenses, as in "rancid hypocrisy."

Last episode ended with Sir William Berkeley, on the deck of a ship in the James, watching Jamestown burn to the ground in the wee hours of September 19, 1676. The rebels under Nathaniel Bacon were ascendant, and Berkeley resolved to return to his refuge on the Eastern Shore and plot the next phase of his increasingly desperate war. Little did he know that the tide of the war was about to turn again in his favor. This episode begins in London in the summer of 1676, where Crown officials were just beginning to figure out what to do about the turmoil in Virginia, over which they had incomplete and very emotional news. Charles II made some decisions with long-term consequences for Virginia. At about the same time, in a stroke of luck - good or bad, depending on one's point of view - Bacon died rather horribly. He had done a good job building an organization with an orderly succession plan, but the rebellion had lost its most charismatic leader. A few weeks before Bacon died, at the end of September, the first of several armed merchant ships arrived in the Chesapeake, and after learning about the revolt their captains pledged their service to Berkeley. They would provide crucial support in an amphibious war against rebels along the James and York rivers. One of the captains, Thomas Grantham of the powerful 500-ton Concord, emerged as a courageous and wise diplomat, and would do more than anyone to end the rebellion in early January, 1677. At the end of the war, Berkeley mopped up, and prosecuted and executed most of the leaders of the rebellion. Richard Lawrence, however, disappeared, and was never seen again. The episode ends with the arrival of royal commissioners and a thousand English regular infantry at the end of January, which would be more bad news for Sir William Berkeley.

In this episode of The Latin Prayer Podcast, we explore the Maremagnum devotion, often confused with the unauthenticated “9 Prayers.” Instead, we focus on the authentic 7 Prayers of St. Gregory, a powerful set of meditations on the Passion of Jesus Christ. These prayers, preserved in medieval manuscripts and long recommended for Catholic devotion, each reflect on a mystery of Christ's suffering, death, resurrection, and glory. Join us in praying this traditional Catholic devotion in English, with structure and context explained. Each prayer is followed by an Our Father and a Hail Mary, guiding the faithful in deeper reflection and love for our Lord's Passion. Perfect for Holy Week, First Fridays, or any time you wish to unite with the suffering Christ through Catholic meditations, Latin prayer traditions, and Eucharistic spirituality.   To follow me on other platforms Click on my LinkTree below. linktr.ee/dylandrego Submit Prayer Requests or comments / suggestions: thelatinprayerpodcast@gmail.com To Support FishEaters.com Click Here (  / fisheaters  ) Join me and others in praying the Holy Rosary every day; here are the Spotify quick links to the Rosary: Joyful Mysteries https://open.spotify.com/episode/1yhn...

Victor Davis Hanson, the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution with a focus on classics and military history, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the disturbing rise of socialist radical candidates like Zohran Mamdani, and why immigrants who have benefited from capitalism are now seeking to dismantle the very system that enabled their success, and Hanson explained why Mamdani is likely to win due to a lack of organized opposition and historically low voter turnout. Benson and Hanson also discussed how Donald Trump's transactional approach to foreign policy has reshaped America's global relationships, delivering peace in the Middle East through a Teddy Roosevelt-like assertiveness. Hanson also reacted to the shocking revelation that a Louisiana man participated in the October 7th massacre, and weighed in on California's decision to issue commercial driver's licenses to non-English-speaking illegal immigrants that has now resulted in several deaths.

He was having fun all summer, but now that classes started, he really needs to buckle down and study.Or my coworker Amy — she had a big project deadline coming up, so she buckled down this week and finished everything on time.And me? I'll be honest — I've been putting off updating my website, but this weekend I'm gonna buckle down and finally get it done.So how about you?

In this powerful episode of the Equipping ELLs podcast, host Beth Vaucher (formerly Boche), founder of Inspiring Young Learners, dives deep into one of the most pressing challenges facing educators today—supporting newcomer English Language Learners (ELLs) in the classroom. As classrooms across the country see a rising number of newcomer students, many educators feel overwhelmed and unsure where to begin. In Episode 11, Beth shares a step-by-step roadmap to scaffold lessons effectively so newcomers feel supported, engaged, and empowered from day one.This episode goes beyond the basics of welcoming newcomers and focuses on actionable strategies to make instruction accessible, even when students enter with little or no English or native-language literacy. Beth explains why understanding a student's literacy background in their first language (L1) is essential and how it informs your approach to lesson planning. She breaks down five simple, yet powerful scaffolding strategies you can start using this week—from using visuals and QR codes for listening comprehension to incorporating cognates and sentence starters.Drawing from her personal experience teaching abroad in Panama during the pandemic, Beth offers insight into why today's newcomers may have drastically different needs than those from pre-pandemic years. With many having experienced years of interrupted or nonexistent schooling, educators need practical tools more than ever to bridge the gaps in foundational learning.Whether you're a homeroom teacher or an ESL specialist, Beth emphasizes the critical importance of collaboration between both roles to see real progress in your newcomer students. She provides real-life classroom examples, reflective questions, and helpful analogies (like learning about the solar system in a language you don't speak!) to inspire confidence in teachers who may feel underprepared.Tune in to hear how you can blend foundational language instruction with content-area learning, all while making students feel safe and successful. Plus, Beth shares how small, intentional efforts—like slowing your rate of speech or providing picture-supported vocabulary—can make a huge difference in helping newcomers thrive.Finally, Beth invites educators to join the Equipping ELLs membership, where they can access done-for-you lesson plans, coaching, and a community of passionate teachers ready to support each other. If you're looking to grow your confidence and capacity when working with newcomer ELLs, this episode is a must-listen.Links and Resources:⁠⁠⁠Join the Equipping ELLs MembershipShop our TpT Store[FREEBIE] Newcomer Welcome Kit[FREEBIE] Newcomers Scope & SequenceReady for more?
