In this episode, Mark Raffler and Bridget Rieth connect with longtime Kent ISD mentor & author, Ellin Oliver Keene.  Ellin's book, research, and leadership around student engagement inform the topic of today's podcast.  Engaging Children addresses the ongoing challenges and payoffs of centering student engagement as a foundational priority in classrooms and schools. Regardless of grade level or curriculum, students who connect to classroom experiences in meaningful ways are more likely to retain and reapply their learning. Engaged students want to show up and want to learn. They have a greater sense of belonging in the school community and are more able to connect their learning to the outside world in which they live.Ellin Keene discusses defining and teaching engagement, student-centered practices and ownership, and measuring, discussing, and prioritizing engagement within required curriculum.Here are some highlights from our conversation: Engagement is Essential for Retention and Reapplication: The data on learning loss without engagement is "shocking," showing that only between 15% and 20% of kids will carry learning forward if they are not engaged. Educators must prioritize engagement because it directly determines whether students retain and reapply knowledge across time intervals.Distinguish Between Teacher Motivation and Student Ownership: Motivation is often perceived as something adults do to children, while engagement is something students own, work on, and reconnect themselves with. Teachers need to move away from being constant promoters and instead teach students how to be metacognitive about their engagement, enabling them to recognize when they are disengaged and take action to re-engage.Utilize the Four Pillars of Engagement: The four pillars-Intellectual Urgency, Emotional Resonance, the Aesthetic World, and Perspective Bending-provide educators and students with a common, shared language for discussing true engagement. Educators should talk about engagement spontaneously and in a planned way, literally naming the type of engagement when it emerges in the classroom to help students wield it as a powerful learning tool.Student Choice and Ownership is Critical: Choice serves as a hallmark of a student-centered classroom that yields better results. Without choice throughout their day, students are unlikely to remember and reapply what they are taught, which creates tension when teachers must adhere closely to required scripts. Utilizing materials that students love and aesthetically respond to is a powerful way to foster engagement and ownership.Prioritize Fidelity to the Standard Over Materials: Educators are critical thinkers who should use their artistry to make discerning decisions, supplementing or replacing required tasks, like repetitive graphic organizers, that cause student disengagement. Teachers should also focus on skills grounded in research and adjust instruction accordingly.Concluding with our normal podcast protocol, we ask for resources for educators to learn more about Engaging Children, Igniting a Drive for Deeper Learning.

Send us a textIn this episode, we move into the fiery centre of the body — the Solar Plexus Chakra, or Manipura. This chakra governs your personal power, confidence, and the way you take action in the world. It's the energy of self-worth, motivation, and the inner fire that helps you stand tall in your truth.When your Solar Plexus is balanced, you feel empowered, decisive, and aligned with your purpose. You trust yourself and move through life with clarity and strength. But when this energy is blocked or overactive, it can show up as self-doubt, lack of motivation, control issues, or an inner critic that keeps you small.We'll explore how to reconnect with your inner fire, transform fear into empowerment, and reclaim your sense of self. You'll also learn practices to strengthen your boundaries, cultivate confidence, and realign with your authentic power.This is your reminder that your light was never meant to be dimmed — it's time to remember the strength that has always been within you.All my love, Hannah xoxo

Please join Victoria Hart and me as we talk about Awakening Your Soul Path: Dissolving Glamours and Igniting the New Light. 
In this talk with Victoria we will discuss: -What does it really mean to awaken your soul path — and why do so many of us feel like we're doing the ‘right things' but still feel misaligned? -What are spiritual glamours, and how do they keep us from aligning with our true soul path? -What are some ways we can begin to dissolve these glamours and align with our soul path — in a practical, embodied way? -How can we tell the difference between a personality-driven path and a soul-led one? -Why do some people still feel empty or off-path even after years of spiritual work or success? -What does resonance as the soul's language mean? -Victoria will be taking live caller questions and will also be facilitating a guided transmission and activation to help us all remember why we came here.

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma has had a blockbuster week packed with major headlines, historic milestones, and buzzy public moments that showcase why his star continues to rise in the Latin music industry. On March 6, he was honored as the reigning champion at the 32nd BMI Latin Awards in Miami, where he received the coveted BMI Champion Award for his transformative impact on música mexicana and for a sound that has captivated millions worldwide, according to Variety and AOL. Peso Pluma was also named regional Mexican songwriter of the year, a distinction previously held by Grammy-winning producer Edgar Barrera. Notably, several top tracks penned or performed by Peso Pluma, including Bipolar, Bye, El Gavilan, Igualito a Mi Apa, Luna, and his much-streamed Bzrp Music Sessions Vol. 55, dominated BMI's list of most-performed songs, sealing his legacy as a hitmaker.The ceremony doubled as a celebration for Double P, Peso Pluma's own label. Tito Double P, one of his signees and a close collaborator, won the BMI Impact Award for co-writing some of Peso Pluma's early defining hits like El Belicon and AMG. Peso Pluma delivered a heartfelt speech, crediting his team, family, and fans for supporting this massive movement in regional Mexican music, highlighting a pivotal moment not only for himself but also for the genre's mainstream evolution.Days before, Peso Pluma made history by performing at ComplexCon 2025 in Las Vegas, marking the first-ever appearance of a regional Mexican artist at the culture-shaping festival. As News3LV and Las Vegas Weekly reported, ComplexCon set a new attendance record with over 70,000 festival-goers, as Peso Pluma shared the lineup with major hip-hop acts and influencers. This is widely viewed as a breakthrough that could open doors for other Mexican acts on global cultural stages—an event with potential long-term significance for both Peso Pluma and the industry.Meanwhile, the Peso Pluma lookalike contest in Los Angeles drew over a hundred fans to Echo Park Lake, as reported by LAist. The playful event was a testament to his sweeping popularity and impact on youth culture, with contestants judged on their dance skills and Peso “Bella” impersonations. Social media buzzed with clips from the contest, and Oscar Reyes from Downey walked away with the grand prize, later proclaiming Peso Pluma “one of the greatest artists right now.”Not all chatter was about music and fandom—Peso Pluma's romantic history had spillover headlines as ex-girlfriend Nicki Nicole trended after her breakup with soccer star Lamine Yamal. Hola! recalls the couple's brief but memorable red carpet moment at last year's Grammy Awards, but confirms their relationship ended months ago amid viral cheating accusations against Peso Pluma. While Nicole swiftly deleted all traces of the romance from Instagram, Peso Pluma focused squarely on his career milestones, staying clear of public comment and letting achievements speak louder than gossip.In sum, Peso Pluma's past few days have been marked by cultural crossover triumphs, record-breaking public appearances, and an award season sweep that further cements his reputation as the face of modern Mexican music. With the flood of recognition from industry insiders and explosive crowd reactions, it's clear Peso Pluma's next chapter is unfolding before a global audience, where breaking records and inspiring fandom are quickly becoming his new normal.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Sir Bartle Frere had sailed into South Africa in March 1877 - lauded as a great British administrator in India. He arrived just in time to witness Sir Theophilus Shepstone seize, sorry, annex the Transvaal under the noses of the incredulous and in equal amounts, contemptuous Boers. Frere was another of Carnarvon's boys, determined to enforce confederation onto south Africa. He was regarded as one of the most effective English civil servants in India, keeping the vital province of Sind quiet during the recent Indian Mutiny, and as Governor of Bombay, now Mumbai, he had been instrumental in upgrading the vast city's infrastructure. He was by accounts, a man of integrity and quiet, diffident even as Frank Walsh puts it. The British Royal Family were friends, he was a member of the Privy Council and was showered with honours. India was compared to South Africa, it was diverse, more populous yes, but in India he dealt with sophisticated Indian Rulers and merchants. Carnarvon regarded Sir Bartle Frere as the ideal man to settle the quarrelsome and individualistic South African communities. But he was Indian in his experience, and not African. By contrast to the sophisticated Indian Rulers, South Africans were and are uncomplicated and pugnacious. All its people were the same then as we are now. Whatever our backgrounds, we remain pugnacious Africans, English, Afrikaners, Blacks, Coloureds, Indians and tick whatever box suits you on form XYZ. It would take only a few years trying to govern the ungovernable before he disintegrated in delusion, self-deception, irrationality and apparent senility. Frere had barely settled into his governor's armchair to read Shepstone's report into the latest challenges in the Transvaal — when the Ninth Frontier War burst into flame in the Eastern Cape.The amaMfengu had taken rapidly to the opportunities afforded by being part of the Cape Colony, and were also taking to urban trade in a revolutionary way. The Gcaleka resented the success of the amaMfengu, as well as their relationship with settlers. The Gcaleka were suffering the effects of the last war, the longest Frontier War and also the most vicious. Across the Kei, alcoholism was spreading, and poverty seeped through every household — made far worse by the actions of Nongqawuse's cattle killing episode. What pushed everyone over the edge was mother nature, a series of devastating droughts across the Transkei destabilised the situation further. As Historian De Kiewiet says, in South Africa the heat of drought easily becomes the fever of war. What was supposed to be a wedding celebration in September 1877 turned into a bar fight when the tensions emerged after Gcaleka harassed the amMfengu in attendance. Things got a lot worse later that day when some Gcaleka men attacked a Cape Colony police outpost manned by amaMfengu in the main. Just a bit of trival violence said local officials, moving along, let the local police handle the matter. But back in Cape Town, Sir Bartle Frere sensed his moment partly because of his belief that Great Britain was spreading civilisation and eradicating barbarians, extending black rule over blacks, you know old chap, guiding them up the ladder of evolution and improving their standards of living through good administration and economic prosperity. Chief Mgolombane Sarhili kaHintsa of the amaGcaleka royal line was summoned by Frere but he had seen his ancestors summoned only to be thrown onto Robin Island. He ignored the summons so Sir Bartle promptly declared war on the amaXhosa. This was totally against the advice of the locals. All that Frere's warning did is prompt the warriors among his people to gather and mobilise. Cape Prime Minister, John Molteno refused to sanction any invasion of the Transkei when he heard that Frere had declared war on Sarhili. At a meeting between Molteno and Frere, the British Governor promised that imperial troops would stay put and not cross into Gcalekaland.

Tabitha Holman was diagnosed at 39 with de novo Stage IV breast cancer. Tabitha is an elementary school teacher, and mother of two young boys. At the time of her diagnosis, she was considered too young and low-risk to access a timely mammogram when she found her lump. Now she is focusing her efforts on advocacy in hopes of improving access to screening, research, and care. In this episode, Tabitha reads her essay “Hair Karma” from the 2025 Hair issue of Wildfire Journal. Her piece is about the emotional complexity of losing her hair during chemotherapy—just months after giving birth—and the surprising, full-circle moment that made her stop and wonder. April and Tabitha will talk about kindness, having cancer and being post-partum, and advocating for medical care that goes against the standard of care. They also discuss grief and living with MBC.

Fire doesn't play by Earth's rules once you leave gravity behind. In this deep dive with Professor Michael Gollner, we unpack what the recent experiments at the ISS called SoFIE-MIST taught us about solid fuel flammability in microgravity—how tiny ventilation, oxygen levels, and pressure shifts determine whether a flame spreads, stalls, or vanishes. The details are surprising: blue “bubble” flames, two distinct extinction points, and sustained burning at oxygen levels that would fail to ignite on Earth.We walk through the entire setup: PMMA rods chosen for clean, uniform burning; a compact wind tunnel inside the ISS hardware; ceramic heaters delivering 1–3 kW/m² to probe incipient behavior; and a control strategy that often lets the flame's own oxygen consumption carry the chamber gently to extinction. Along the way, you'll hear how constraints drive design—why rods beat flats, why halogen lamps didn't fly, how crew time is minimized with robotic runs—and how data is captured without weighing anything. Opposed-flow flame spread becomes a window into fundamentals: radiative preheating, thermal thickness, and the delicate balance between convective loss and feedback when buoyancy is gone.The implications stretch to future habitats and vehicles. As spaceflight moves toward longer missions and more commercial operators, safety will hinge on accurate flammability limits under low ventilation and non-Earth atmospheres. We connect the dots to normoxic choices, partial‑g research on the Moon and Mars, and the growing need for space fire engineering that's grounded in real data. If you care about spacecraft safety, materials selection, and the science behind early fire detection, this conversation is right for you.If you want to learn more, do it here:a brilliant article at the Berkeley websiteNASA Glenn website about the SoFIE programmeEpisode 75 with David Urban on spacecraft fire safetyQA session 5 - brainstorming martian habitat fire safetyCover image credit: NASA, Igniting a 12.7 mm sample at 21% oxygen under 100 kPa ambient pressure in microgravity.

Today, the microphone turns on Writers on Writing founder and host Barbara DeMarco-Barrett. She joins Marrie Stone to talk about her latest story collection, Pool Fishing. Barbara's venture into noir fiction began with the short story, “Crazy for You,” originally published in Akashic Book's, Orange County Noir, later included in USA Noir: Best of the Akashic Noir Series. She's also the editor and contributor to Palm Springs Noir (Akashic) and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize for her short story, “Rowboat,” in Kelp Journal (Dec. 2023). Both “Crazy for You” and “Rowboat” appear in her latest collection. Barbara's fiction and poetry have been published extensively, including in Coolest American Stories 2022, CrimeReads, Dark City Crime & Magazine and elsewhere. Her first book, Pen on Fire: A Busy Woman's Guide to Igniting the Writer Within, was a Los Angeles Times best-seller and honored with an American Society of Journalists and Authors Outstanding Book Award. She's taught creative writing at various colleges for decades. All that means she has much to teach us, and tell us, about the creative process. She joins Marrie to talk about the creative germ for many of these 15 stories, why setting is so critical in noir, the attributes she believes necessary to make a successful writer, why she's such an advocate for small presses, and so much more. Barbara will be appearing at Arvida Books in Tustin on Friday, September 19th, at 6pm (with Maddie Margarita) and Knoll's in Laguna Niguel on Sunday, September 21, at 7pm (with Marrie Stone).
