Whether it's fidgeting, flapping, or just plain floating... It's time to find your ‘Goldilocks' hands - just right
In this episode of the Equipping ELLs podcast, host Beth Vaucher dives into one of the most transformative and practical frameworks for supporting English Language Learners (ELLs): Talk for Writing. Beth introduces listeners to this British-based strategy that builds students' confidence in all four language domains - listening, speaking, reading, and writing - by starting with what students do best: talk.Beth shares how her own children's bilingual school introduced her to Talk for Writing and how it has fundamentally shifted her approach to language instruction. The method begins with oral storytelling, giving students the chance to internalize sentence structures and vocabulary in a fun, low-stakes environment. She walks us through how students can retell stories, use story maps, engage in shared writing, and eventually transition to independent writing, all while being supported through rich visuals, sentence frames, and vocabulary prompts.This episode is packed with classroom-ready tips, including how to choose a rich, authentic text, like Goldilocks and the Three Bears or The King Who Was Afraid of the Dark, and how to use those stories to anchor a 4–6 week language unit. Beth emphasizes the power of modeling, repetition, and visuals, and how even reluctant writers can thrive under this framework. She also shares personal anecdotes of her daughters' experiences, including how her second grader confidently wrote her own version of a class story.Teachers will learn how to scaffold language practice, how to provide peer and teacher modeling, and how to build in interactive opportunities for collaboration and creativity. Beth also offers suggestions on how to incorporate native language support and how to involve parents through performance and presentation.Whether you're brand new to Talk for Writing or looking to deepen your instructional strategies, this episode offers both inspiration and practical steps for implementation. Tune in to discover how this framework fosters confidence, creativity, and language mastery among ELL students - and why it might be the missing link in your teaching toolkit.Links and Resources:More Information on Talk for WritingJoin the Equipping ELLs Membership Shop our TpT Store
Valerie June's journey to what we might call ‘cult stardom' hasn't been easy. “I was cleaning houses while playing bars & clubs at night. And I had a vision that I would not make it - my music wouldn't reach its audience through regular means - it would reach its audience through musicians. My friends would help me. I'm a musician's musician”. Working through a talented community of musicians that has included Booker T Jones, Brandi Carlile and none other than Mavis Staples, eventually brought Valerie June together with her own audience. For her new project, June works with Blind Boys of Alabama, Norah Jones, DJ Cavem Moetavation and M Ward, supremo guitarist and producer of new album Owls, Omens and Oracles. I wanted to get her view of her own music, because the music business loves to put artists in lanes, boxes and pigeon holes. How on earth did an eclectic artist like June slip through the cracks? Her music has been described by others as an amalgam of soul, gospel, Appalachian folk, bluegrass, country, spiritual pop, African blues and my own favourite…cosmic rock. How does she describe her music in response to this assessment? With a joyful guffaw and an emphatic reaction: “I'm a singer-songwriter. I follow the songs, whatever they want to be is what I do. I'm kinda like their servant. All those names related to the music - I used to get attached to those and now I don't ”.In Jeff Tweedy's entertaining memoir World Within a Song, the author, singer songwriter and Wilco frontman says: “Taking something old and making it sound modern is nothing new”. And yet obsessing over your references, but melding them into something that is uniquely you is one of the key themes for artists of longevity. Both concepts are critical to June's work.“I do commune with the ancestors. I know I'm standing on the shoulders of many who came before me. I feel them beside me as I'm talking now. I'm not doing this by myself. I wanted to understand my people through music, and I got there through studying the blues”. Most songs come to me as voices. I'll try this instrument and be like “no, not that one…like Goldilocks. I try many different instruments to connect that voice to what it wants. Then, I found a team of people to listen to and understand”. If Valerie June really is the Goldilocks of songcraft, the results are indeed nourishing.Support the showGet more related content at: https://www.songsommelier.com/

Between the study of specific languages and the philosophy of language lies what Ryan Nefdt calls a “Goldilocks zone” of theoretical issues related to language. In The Philosophy of Theoretical Linguistics (Cambridge University Press, 2024), Nefdt introduces and explores the elements in this zone, including different theories of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and differing views of how language evolved, which languages are possible, and what defines language. Nefdt, a professor of philosophy at the University of Cape Town, shows where dominant linguistic theories, such as Chomskian syntactic theory and truth-conditional semantics, fit in a generalized framework where a key theoretical dimension is the role of social context.

What's it like to stand at the edge of human knowledge, where we don't know what leap forward in understanding the next technological innovation will herald? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Dr. Melodie Kao, resident radio astronomer at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, AZ, where Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto back in 1930. (And if you're scratching your heads saying, “What's a radio astronomer doing at an optical observatory?” you're not alone. Short answer: Melodie convinced them they wanted one, and that it should be her!”) As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, the amazing discovery by the NEID Spectrograph at the WIYN telescope at Kitt Peak Observatory of a planet 9 times the mass of Earth orbiting a sun-like star 49 light years away with an orbital period of just 31 days. Melodie explains the precision of the measurement required to discover a planet at that distance, and shares one of her own recent discoveries using a technique called very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI). In a groundbreaking effort she strung together 39 radio dishes across the northern hemisphere of Earth in a multi-observatory effort to create an Earth-sized telescope (similar to the technique that was used to create the first image of a black hole) and pointed it at a brown dwarf and measured its magnetic fields and radiation belts (like our Van Allen belts). For comparison, the effort was like measuring a pea perched on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco while standing on the Statue of Liberty in NYC. The trio discusses the importance of the discovery of the Van Allen belts, and how that allowed us to plot trajectories that avoided the worst of that radiation for Apollo astronauts on their journeys to the Moon. For our first audience question, Ari from North Greene High School in Tennessee asks, “What is the percentage of possible exoplanets that are similar to the earth's atmosphere, placed in their solar system (within a similar area of their respective Goldilocks zone), gravity, etc.? And how long would it take to hypothetically get to them?” That turns out to be a very complicated question, and Melodie knows someone who has devoted her entire career to answering it. It's one of the questions that drove the creation of the James Webb Space Telescope and is the basis of the Drake Equation. The bottom line, though, is that we don't know yet, and until we find a rocky planet with an Earthlike atmosphere orbiting a sun-like star outside of our solar system, it will remain unanswerable. Next, Charles asks Melodie how she became an astronomer, especially since she'd always planned on being an architect. She even went to MIT to become one, but she missed studying physics, which she realized she truly loved. MIT had just finished constructing their Center for Theoretical Physics, and Melodie shares the story of how she convinced MIT to bend the rules and let switch her major to Physics while continuing to study architecture. When she attended a lecture by a grad student about galaxy clusters, and learned how you could back out the formation history of a cluster of galaxies by looking at the gradients of colors generated by starlight, she realized astronomy was a way to unlock the secrets of the universe. Our next question comes from Alex at North Greene: What are the conditions necessary for life in the universe? It's a question without an easy answer, but the conversation it spawns is worth your time to listen to. It leads Melodie to talk about her love of exploring the natural world and how she co-created a Wilderness Astronomy class. She's also a guide for off-trail, high route backpacking trips where you don't know what's coming next and you need to rely on your instincts, curiosity and bravery as you explore the world, and the universe, around you. If you'd like to know more about what Melodie is up to, she's not on social media but you can check out her website. You've also got an invitation to visit her at the Lowell Observatory for a personal tour! We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.

Foundersuite has established itself as the leading platform for startups raising capital, with $13 million in funding and a comprehensive suite of tools designed to streamline the fundraising process. In this episode of Category Visionaries, I sat down with Nathan Beckord, CEO of Foundersuite, to explore how his extensive background in investment banking and startup advisory evolved into building a specialized platform that's revolutionizing how founders approach fundraising. Nathan shares his journey from consultant to entrepreneur, and how Foundersuite has grown from a simple CRM into a robust platform serving startups from seed stage through Series B and beyond. Topics Discussed: The evolution from an investment banking career to founding a startup focused on fundraising tools How Foundersuite narrowed its focus from a broad suite of founder tools to specialized fundraising solutions The strategic decision to target the seed through Series B segment as their primary market Building a sustainable marketing strategy through events, podcasting, and innovative guerrilla tactics The launch of Funding Stack, a new platform designed for VCs and fundraising consultants How AI is being integrated throughout the fundraising process to enhance efficiency and outcomes GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Start with your unique expertise: Nathan built Foundersuite based on his decade of fundraising experience, turning his specialized knowledge into product features. He explained, "I'm a one trick pony. The only thing I've done ever since college is raise capital for startups." B2B founders should leverage their deep industry expertise when defining their product category and value proposition. Be willing to kill good products for great focus: Despite positive user feedback on several products in their initial suite, Foundersuite made the difficult decision to eliminate tools that weren't core to their primary value proposition. Nathan recalls, "It was hard to kill something that people did love... but they weren't really paying as much for that." B2B founders should continuously evaluate their product portfolio against market traction and be willing to make tough decisions for greater focus. Define your "Goldilocks" customer segment: Foundersuite identified their ideal customer segment as seed through Series B companies—not too early (pre-seed) and not too mature (Series C+). Nathan explains, "Too early, you don't have any money, you can't pay us, you're not really fundable. Too late, you have a lot of other resources to help you raise capital." B2B founders should similarly identify where their product delivers maximum value and focus acquisition efforts accordingly. Use content marketing as a learning opportunity: Foundersuite's "How I Raised It" podcast not only serves as a marketing channel but also provides valuable market intelligence. Nathan shared, "I thought I knew everything about raising capital. And here I am just drinking from a fire hose... I'm learning more than my first six months of doing a podcast than I have in the last five years of actually doing the work." B2B founders should view content marketing as both a growth channel and a customer research tool. Implement annual marketing experiments: Foundersuite commits to trying one new marketing approach each year. Nathan explains, "One of the things I try and do every year... let's try a new, different marketing experiment." For 2025, they're implementing monthly webinars. B2B founders should similarly build experimentation into their marketing roadmap while maintaining their core channels. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co

She says all of her friends her age (27) with kids are miserable. Agree or disagree?How to harness good stress: Find the “Goldilocks zone” - The key is finding the sweet spot that's not too much or too little stress and you have to push yourself a little to find it. “Challenge yourself to go outside your comfort zone without feeling overwhelmed,” the expert advises.Don't just positively reframe the stress in your life - Take action with meaningful and purpose-driven challenges, like taking on a new job opportunity or learning a new skill.Be strategic about recovery - “To grow from stress, you have to make time for rest and recovery,” Bergquist explains. You need that for your body and brain to reset and build new connections to better handle future challenges.Lean into the body-mind connection - Physically stressing yourself can help build mental resilience and vice versa, according to this stress researcher. She explains, “When you experience good physical or psychological stress, you repair and regenerate your cells, which makes every part of your body healthier and stronger.”Trust that you were made for some stress - Humans were built to overcome stress and get stronger because of it. It's okay to be scared and want to avoid challenges, but Bergquist says, “Trust and do it anyway. The result can be life-changing.”Second Date Update: Alexis calls us about Dave.

Astronomers have just found a planet that might be perfect for human life! It's in the “Goldilocks zone,” meaning it's not too hot or too cold—just right for liquid water. Scientists believe this planet could have an atmosphere, oceans, and maybe even life already. It's way out in space, but with new technology, we might learn more about it soon. Imagine a future where humans could travel there and start a new home among the stars! For now, all we can do is keep exploring and dreaming about what's out there.

Episode 2624: Vinnie Tortorich speaks to Dr. Sharon Bergquist about resilience, our culture clashing with biology, using stress for growth, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/03/stress-for-growth-dr-sharon-bergquist-episode-2624 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Culture Clashing with Biology Dr. Sharon Bergquist is an internal medicine physician ( you can find her online at ) and has a new book you can purchase through Vinnie's Book Club: The Stress Paradox book (2:15) It's necessary to challenge yourself for physical strength and resilience. Our current lifestyle has weakened over several generations. (7:00) Today's lifestyle has phased out needs and behaviors that years ago were relied upon for strength and resiliency. (9:00) This has contributed to poor health and decreased longevity. Our bodies are supposed to be interconnected with nature and the environment (15:00). Vinnie gives an example of a recent climb he did where another climber was missing out on the beauty of the surroundings. The Industrial Revolution started much of the culture change. (23:00) Many inventions have helped improve life; however, many have changed how we challenge ourselves. Reintroducing some of the challenges can help us to achieve better health, both mentally and physically. (26:00) Dr. Sharon explains hormesis, which is a form of adaptation. (30:00) The leading cause of disability in this country is disuse. (37:50) There is a more recent specialty in medicine called “exercise oncology.” It has been shown that exercise can improve cancer outcomes. (38:00) Stress For Growth There are various types of stress; however, too much and too inadequate amounts of stress can both be harmful. (46:00) The goal is to find the optimal or “Goldilocks level” of stress. A mild or moderate amount should work. There's no real need to go to extremes to make a difference. Vinnie mentions his desire to get back to a “fitness middle class.” (51:00) “Stress inoculation” is an idea (not an actual vaccine and not childhood adversity) that exposes kids to small amounts of stress to help childhood development. (55:15) Giving kids the tools and the skills to find their way is a good start.

Ali Meli thinks the Fed is trying to create a “new Goldilocks scenario.” He doesn't think the administration can make the trillion-dollar cuts to spending they promised.

Julia Pollak breaks down the latest jobs report, calling it a "solid" but not "dramatic" print despite a 27,500-job loss in the restaurant sector and a 9,800-job cut in tech. Pollak notes while the labor market remains tight, signs of softening are emerging, including a rise in the unemployment rate and a shortening workweek. She believes the Fed will view this as a "Goldilocks" report, as it suggests no inflationary pressure in the labor market.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Love the episode? Send us a text!In this episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, I had the pleasure of speaking with Kathleen Moss, a nutritionist from Portland, Oregon, who shared her journey with breast cancer. Kathleen's story is both unique and insightful, as she was diagnosed with lobular breast cancer after a decade of screening and monitoring a shadow in her left breast. She detailed her experience with DCIS, the challenges of detecting lobular breast cancer, and the eventual discovery of invasive cancer following her mastectomy.Kathleen provided an in-depth explanation of lobular breast cancer, highlighting its distinct characteristics and the difficulties in detection due to its non-lump formation. She also discussed the importance of advocacy and education, emphasizing the need for awareness around different breast cancer subtypes.We delved into her surgical decisions, including her choice to forgo breast reconstruction in favor of a Goldilocks mastectomy, and the emotional and physical impacts of these choices. Kathleen's advocacy work with the Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance and her efforts to support and educate others through local advocacy teams were truly inspiring.Kathleen also shared her personal experiences with her mother's breast cancer diagnosis and passing, and how it shaped her perspective on life and death.
