Bird feeders and birdbaths are great ways to attract birds to your yard, but they aren't the only ways to entice our feathered friends. Planting an area densely with native shrubs, trees, and other vegetation can create a natural look that some birds are more likely to feel at home in because it resembles their native habitat. Shy singers, like the Fox Sparrow or Veery, will repay you with their beautiful songs.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Over the centuries, we have learned to peer into what was once invisible. Imaging devices like cameras, telescopes, microscopes, and MRI machines map the world around, beyond, and within us in ways the naked eye could never see. In so doing, these technologies have transformed our understanding of our place in the universe and our conception of our own bodies--and we may be on the cusp of an even greater revolution. Daniel K. Sodickson--a physicist and biomedical imaging innovator--explores the rich history and surprising future of vision, from the evolution of eyes to emerging high-tech devices. Beginning in the early oceans, when organisms first developed sight, The Future of Seeing: How Imaging is Changing the World (Columbia UP, 2025) tells the stories of the many remarkable tools people have invented to extend our natural vision. Ranging from the tales of brilliant inventors to profiles of everyday people, this book shows how imaging has transformed the practice of medicine, reshaped the global economy, and complicated the notion of privacy. In the era of artificial intelligence, Sodickson argues, it will be reinvented even further, emulating not only our senses but also our brains. Inviting and eye-opening, The Future of Seeing is a revelatory look at what imaging teaches us about the way we see the world, each other, and ourselves. Learn more about your ad choices.

Recently I had to learn APA citation. Oof. It was a heavy lift, after a few decades with MLA. It gave me a refreshed sense of how overwhelming students likely find MLA. I found myself thinking, why can't I just link my sources in parentheses? Why can't I just reference the authors who informed my thinking inside my sentences? Why on earth does it matter if I use a comma or a semicolon, put the page first or put the page second? Why does APA even exist? Yeah, all the things our students probably think when we roll out our 26 page MLA redux, which doesn't even cover it all. And that's only the beginning of student frustration when it comes time for a research paper. Now, I struggle a little bit in recommending these alternatives to the research paper today, partly because my husband regularly references the research paper he wrote in high school as a landmark in his academic life. He loved it. He was so proud of his work. It set him on a path that eventually led all the way to a PHD program at UPenn. The other night, though, when we were debating the relative merits of 5 paragraph essays and research papers, he did mention that the rest of the class did not exactly excel on that research paper assignment, if the comments his teacher made as she passed back the papers were any sign. John Warner, in his book, Why They Can't Write, posits a possible reason for that lack of excelling. “The writing-related tasks we frequently visit upon students would prove difficult for even highly experienced writers. Writing on subjects with which we're newly familiar, in forms that are foreign, and addressed to audiences that are either undefined or unknown (other than 'for the teacher') bears little resemblance to the way we write for the world” (27). In other words, we often ask students to try and make themselves an expert on something they're not that interested in for a research paper, use a citation format that is next thing to a foreign language for them, tie themselves in knots trying to figure out how to convey what they've learned in an orderly way that generally leaves little room for their own voice or opinions, and do it all just to show their teacher, for a grade. Of course, that is how it has seemingly always been done. And after all, we survived. I remember learning MLA format in 7th grade, and creating my first research notecards. I dutifully scrawled quotation after quotation on those notecards, putting all the source information on the back. I can't remember what I wrote about though, for that 7th grade research paper. Literally nothing comes to mind. The first research assignment that I do remember came in 11th grade, when I participated in Minnesota's National History Day, making it to the State Finals with my project "The Column: Supporting Architecture through the Ages." I remember my architectural timeline, supported on a bridge of heavy white dominos across the front of my display board. I remember learning about Ionic, Corinthian, and Doric columns, and I've seen them all over the world in my travels since. I remember my virtual explorations of Athens, as I searched through various texts trying to figure out how the column worked, why it was so special, and what it looked like in buildings all over ancient Greece. I remember presenting my project in Duluth, sensing that I barely made it through with so many other great projects on hand, learning from the quality around me, and improving it before heading for Minneapolis. I remember going to Valley Fair, the amusement park I had had my eye on for years, after the state competition, with my Dad. It. Was. Awesome. My National History Day Project let me choose any topic of interest to me that fit whatever the general theme was that year. It let me use my love of design, color, lettering, and layout in addition to my research skills. It gave me an authentic audience to consider. I think I still had to use MLA citation format, but I was so busy with everything else that I wasn't about to let cracking that code stop me. I had a competition to win. (Not that I did, but I sure had fun trying). When I look back on my academic and professional life so far, research in service of real purpose, in an arena that truly interested me, with the ability to include modes that I enjoy working in, for an audience I truly hoped to impact, made all the difference in igniting my best work. So what if we warm our students up to research with activities, projects, and shorter writing pieces that focus more on elements like these, and less on notecards? What if, instead of jumping into huge MLA research papers with only one person - us - as the intended audience, we cast a wider net around the area of research and explore ways to give students more agency over topic, mode, and audience? This introduction is getting out of hand. Thirteen paragraphs in and we haven't played the music yet. It's lucky I'm not writing a five paragraph essay. So without further ado, let's talk about five alternatives to the research paper that help students practice key skills they can draw on later, if and when they choose a path that requires them to write lengthy academic research papers with full citations in APA or MLA.

When the world feels heavy, many of us reach for books. Today's guest is looking for a specific style of comfort reads. Jemima Welsh is joining Anne today all the way from Brisbane, Australia, where she lives with her family and her pets, including four chickens named for the March sisters.  Right now, Jemima is specifically looking for books that feel, quite literally, close to home.

If you feel like your calendar is running your life, this episode is for you. Today, I'm shining a light on a struggle so many ambitious women know all too well…the trap of overcommitment. Why do we automatically say yes before we've even thought things through? How do we stop equating being needed with being valuable? I'm exploring how our standards of what's reasonable might be setting us up for exhaustion, and the profound difference intentionally creating white space in our schedules can make before we desperately need it. I'll share personal stories and real-world strategies to help you slow down the reflexive yes and redefine what's actually reasonable for the seasons of life. If you're ready for more breathing room and less burnout, this episode is your perfect starting point. Show Highlights: The reality of overcommitment. [00:50] Awareness of the automatic “Yes” Reflex. [03:28] The power of the pause—and learning to say no. [04:59] Your standards of what's "reasonable" to take on. [08:03] Let others step up with self-compassion. [10:45] Building white space before you need it. [13:20] Why you need to protect your calendar. [16:55] Experiment with one shift and observe the impact.

In this episode, we talk about how God is at work in our lives even when sorrow feels overwhelming. This Jubilee year of hope is still a light for us, especially when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or tempted to despair. We talk about the “fatigue of living”, what happens when we isolate ourselves, and why the micromovements of our hearts are so important. God has not guaranteed us an easy life, but He abundantly offers us Himself. With Him, we can encounter Jesus deeply, allow the Spirit to help us overcome our fears, and journey through this life with more hope than we thought possible.   Heather's One Thing - Join me on a pilgrimage to Denmark & Norway | August 3 - 12, 2026   Sister Miriam's One Thing - Into Your Hands, Father: Abandoning Ourselves to the God Who Loves Us by Father Wilfrid Stinissen Michelle's One Thing - I Will Come to You: A Story of Adoption and the Relentless Love of God by Jamie McAleer   Other Resources Mentioned:  Pope Leo XIV's Homily for Pentecost   Journal Questions: When did I last pour my heart out to the Lord? How have I been tempted to isolate myself? What distractions do I turn to in suffering? What heartbreaks have I been holding back from the Lord in prayer? Where am I feeling afraid?   Discussion Questions: Where in your life are you struggling to see the Lord? How has the Lord given you daily bread today? What lessons have you learned throughout the Jubilee Year of Hope? Where in your life are you waiting for a personal Pentecost? What resonated with you in Sister Miriam's prayer?   Quote to Ponder: “The Holy Spirit bestows understanding. The Spirit overcomes the ‘breach' that began in Babel, the confusion of mind and heart that sets us one against the other. The Spirit opens borders... The Church must always become anew what she already is. She must open the borders between peoples and break down the barriers between class and race. In her, there cannot be those who are neglected or disdained. In the Church there are only free men and women, brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.” (Homily for Pentecost, 15 May 2005, Pope Benedict XVI)   Scripture for Lectio: “Daughter, your faith has saved you.

Continuing to look at how the home is the center of spiritual growth, and how our biggest advantage from knowing God better and trusting Him more happens at home, we learn that worship plays a big role in inviting God into our homes. Pastor Brandon teaches us that worship keeps us focused on heavenly things, and how worship isn't just songs and singing, but is rather a heart posture in how we interact with the world. Worship reflects God's glory back on us, and God uses authentic worship to transform us. Through studying the scriptures we see that worship changes the atmosphere of our lives and ultimately it shows us that remembering the goodness of God in worship reconnects us with the goodness of God. - Key Verses // John 15:4, Acts 16:22-26 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

Zina Swanson is a Ōtautahi Christchurch-based artist working amongst an artistic practice of painting, drawing, sculpture and instalation. Her practice delves into the exploration of the both fluctuating and porous relationship between humans and the natural world—often looking into these uncanny plant-related lores that occupy a slight nod to a darker view of humanity's relationship with the natural world. Her current exhibition on at Sumer, Their Seeds Are Winged and Borne in Pairs continues and builds on Swanson's exploration of the natural world, navigating its rhythms and textures. Within this exhibition Swanson looks to the Sycamore plant, specifically their seeds. Producing an inquisitive new body of work that includes series of paintings, both acrylic on canvas and watercolour on paper, as well as human scale sculptures in clay and painted steel.  Inviting us to look a bit closer at the natural world around us, and ponder in its porous boundaries between humans. Maya had a kōrero with Zina Swanson about the show and overall practice.

In her beautiful book, The Power of Wonder, Monica Parker, writes:“Wonder purls its way through our lives from first cry to last gasp - Moments that engage us, surprise us, take our breath away,And give us the gift of viewing the world, and our place in it,In an entirely different way.But something happens as we move from the wonder-filled days of childhood to obligation laden days of adulthood. We become increasingly jaded. Like the sun that continues to shine on a cloudy day, wonder is still there,But we just can't seem to see it anymore. And then one day we stop looking.” A world renowned speaker, author, and leading authority on the future of work, Monica has spent decades helping people discover how to lead and live wonderfully. Much of her work, which lies at the intersection of research and practice, Explores how, and why, wonder holds the potential to transform: the way we learn, develop new ideas, drive social change, and ultimately become better humans.Today's conversation is a beautiful beginning. A doorway into a mini series on the power of mystery and wonder.Themes that will make up the second part in a trilogy, which began with conversations focused on impermanence, and that will end with an exploration of love. Monica is here to kick things off. Inviting us into possibility. The possibility of looking again - Opening our eyes like we did as children and reconnecting with a reverence for the world, and all the magic in it. For More on Monica, her book: The Power of Wonder, her speaking, and her fascinating career which has included roles as diverse as being an opera singer, founder of a global human analytics and change consultancy, and a homicide investigator defending death row inmates please visit Monica-Parker.comEnjoying the show?

In this episode, T2 consultants Scott Morrison and James Cooper discuss the topic of meetings. The conversation focuses on effective meetings, when they are necessary, and what to do within them to make them productive.Scott and James break down and describe six different types of meetings:Information Exchange Meeting: The purpose is to share critical information, like a press conference, with a clear agenda.Status Update Meeting: This meeting is a quick "pit stop" to keep a project on track with a structured format, focusing on what has been done, what will be done, and any potential blockers. The focus is on quick updates, not a person's life story.Team Build Meeting: This type of meeting is for strengthening relationships, building trust, and fostering human connection and collaboration within a team. These sessions can include icebreakers and informal discussions to create a safe space for communication.Blue Sky Session: These are creative, mind-mapping sessions where there are no judgments or constraints, and no ideas are considered "bad". The goal is to think differently and challenge the norm.Big Decision Meeting: The purpose of this meeting is to make significant, high-impact choices. It involves reviewing options and analysing data that has been provided beforehand. The speakers use a jury deliberation as an analogy for this type of meeting.Problem Solver Meeting: This meeting is for a team to collectively identify the root cause of an issue and develop solutions. The focus is on getting to the root cause, analysing the issue, and collaboratively designing a solution.This episode also provides tips for effective meetings, including:Creating and sharing a clear agenda and expectations.Inviting only the necessary people.Designating a facilitator to keep the conversation on track.Establishing ground rules, such as no phones or distractions.Practicing good time management.Concluding the meeting with clear next steps, assigning ownership, actions, and timeframes (OAT).Join our FREE webinar "Plan, Prepare, and Persuade: Leading Change That Lasts" on September 17th, with our COO and Head of consultancy and podcast Co-Host Tracy Roberts!Click here to sign up - https://trans2performance.com/t2events/plan-prepare-persuade Follow us on social media - Instagram - ttps://www.instagram.com/peopleperformancepodcast/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/t2-thepeopleperformancepeopleTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@peopleperformancepod

Is It Too Late to Start a Podcast? Roy Coughlan Doesn't Think So I sat down with Roy Coughlan, a serial entrepreneur turned podcast coach, to tackle a question that's been floating around like last week's leftovers: Is podcasting still worth it? If you've been wondering whether the market is too crowded or if there's even room for one more voice (yours), Roy has a clear answer: Yes, there's room. Especially for podcasters who stick with it. Because while millions may have started podcasts, only a small percentage are still active. The rest? Abandoned somewhere between episode 10 and a pile of unrealistic expectations. Roy's message wasn't just encouraging—it was refreshingly honest. He's hosted six shows and coached countless others, so he knows both the magic and the mess behind the mic. Why Podcasting Still Matters 1. It's not just about downloads. Podcasting gives you a direct channel to build relationships, showcase your expertise, and create meaningful conversations. Think of it less like broadcasting and more like building trust at scale. 2. It opens doors without cold calls. Inviting your ideal customer to be a guest? That's a warm introduction with zero awkward sales pitch. You're building relationships, not just content. 3. It makes you smarter. Hosting a podcast is like getting a masterclass every week. You ask the questions you're curious about and walk away sharper than when you started. 4. It's a ripple effect. Inspire one person, and who knows where that impact lands? Roy's seen podcasting create unexpected waves of positivity—sometimes in ways he didn't realize until much later. 5. You don't need a massive audience to make a difference. If 50 people listen to your episode, imagine them sitting in a room, eyes on you. Feels different, doesn't it? Actionable Takeaways for Women Business Owners Set realistic expectations. Success won't happen overnight. Keep going past the “episode 10 slump” where most people quit. Podcasting is a long game, not a viral moment. Use podcasting as a marketing tool. Record an episode that answers a client's question. Share it ahead of a meeting to warm up the conversation and show your expertise. Start simple. Don't overcomplicate it with gear and gadgets. Roy's been using the same plug-and-play mic for years. Focus on content, not cables. Choose one platform to focus on. Rather than spreading yourself thin across every social channel, master one. Get good systems in place before expanding. Be a good podcast citizen. Leave a comment. Share a show. If something helped you, support the creator. Positive feedback fuels better content and stronger communities. Keep your podcast structure nimble. Things can (and will) go wrong. Use editing tools to clean up the audio and keep the process fun—not frustrating. One Last Thought Podcasting isn't just a marketing tactic—it can be a creative outlet, a learning platform, and a powerful tool for connection. Whether you've got a story to tell, a message to share, or just want to have better conversations, Roy's advice is simple: Start where you are. Stay curious. And most importantly, enjoy the process.

This week, let's confront an enemy many of us deal with: ourselves. If you find yourself stuck in a pattern of perfectionism, second-guessing your work, or feeling unsatisfied no matter what you accomplish, you're definitely not alone, and this episode is for you. I'm taking a closer look at how we sometimes pile pressure on ourselves, whether that's thanks to our inner critic, tying our self-worth to how much we get done, or just moving the goalposts on what “success” even means—but this isn't about stacking on more guilt. I want to call out these patterns and talk about practical ways we can be kinder to ourselves, get out of burnout mode, and enjoy our wins. Join me to find out how self-compassion can create greater energy, creativity, and true fulfillment for you, and how to become your own biggest supporter before you write your next brilliant chapter. Show Highlights: Understanding self-created pressure. [00:47] Why overpreparing is a negative achievement pattern. [02:43] Signs of an overdeveloped inner critic. [05:30] The trap of equating effort with worth. [07:05] Moving goalposts vs. celebrating accomplishments. [09:07] Give yourself the empathy you would give others. [10:42] What is compassion as a performance strategy? [11:16] The power of coaching and peer support to end self-sabotage. [14:27] Inviting you to join BOLD or schedule an exploratory call.

Get all set for the Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary time with Fr. Ryan McCarthySummaryIn this engaging podcast episode, the hosts explore themes of financial independence within the church, the importance of humility in personal and spiritual relationships, and the role of hierarchy in the Catholic faith. They reflect on scripture readings that emphasize humility and respect, while also sharing lighthearted banter and listener interactions. The conversation flows from serious discussions about fundraising and community engagement to humorous takes on musical preferences in liturgy, creating a well-rounded and entertaining experience for listeners.TakeawaysFinancial independence from the archdiocese could significantly boost fundraising efforts.Humility is a key virtue that fosters respect and community.Scripture teaches that God delights in a humble heart.Comparing oneself to others can lead to pride or despair.The church's hierarchy is essential but should be approached with humility.Inviting those who cannot repay you is a true act of charity.Chapters00:00 Financial Independence and Fundraising Challenges01:26 Introduction and Weekend Reflections05:11 Golf Outing Stories and Humorous Banter06:40 Scripture Readings and Themes of Humility11:14 Understanding Humility in Spiritual Life14:54 The Role of Hierarchy in the Church18:10 Pope Leo's Humility and Presence21:44 Listener Interactions and Community Engagement

Rachel Maddow highlights the difference between Donald Trump's rhetoric and his actions and notes that taking the big picture of Trump's actions can illuminate significant trends. For example, moving an individual out of one position in the administration into another may not seem particularly noteworthy until it becomes clear that Trump is moving people into ambassadorships instead of firing them. Similarly, a pattern appears to be taking shape as high-level military and national security leaders are being dismissed from service.Donald Trump is acting as though he has the authority to fire members of the Federal Reserve Board and had attempted to do so with Governor Lisa Cook. Paul Krugman joins to explain the disaster Trump is courting.Constantly making a mess of the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case hasn't stopped the Trump administration from continuing to do so. Today a judge prevented his deportation to Uganda.And red states that have sent National Guard troops to serve in Trump's military occupation of Washington, D.C. have cities with higher crime rates than D.C., exposing the lie that these deployments have anything to do with fighting crime.

Read OnlineChildren were brought to Jesus that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked them, but Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them…” Matthew 19:13–14In the Catechism of the Council of Trent, which was promulgated by Pope Saint Pius V, this passage is linked with infant baptism. It states, “Besides, it is not to be supposed that Christ the Lord would have withheld the Sacrament and grace of Baptism from children, of whom He said: Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me…” (II, 2, 32). This teaching clearly indicates one of the best ways that this passage is fulfilled today. Inviting even infants before they reach the age of reason to receive the Sacrament of Baptism fulfills this loving command of Jesus to “Let the children come to me…”Young children do not have the ability to rationally understand love in its purest form. That comes with the age of reason, which has traditionally been understood to be around the age of seven. But children, and even infants, are capable of receiving our love and are capable of receiving the love of God, even if they do not yet fully comprehend this gift.As a child grows, they learn what love means as they witness it and experience it, especially through the mediation of their parents. This helps form their consciences in such a way that they become capable of making their own free choice to love as they mature in age. But if a child is to grow into a loving adult, they need more than just a good example, they need grace. The grace of Baptism is the primary source of that grace in their lives.It's easy for many to see Baptism only as a nice ceremony to welcome the newly born child into God's family. And though that is true, it is so much more. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that Baptism bestows an indelible mark which “remains for ever in the Christian as a positive disposition for grace, a promise and guarantee of divine protection, and as a vocation to divine worship and to the service of the Church” (CCC #1121). In other words, Baptism bestows upon one's soul a gift that can never be removed and becomes an ongoing source of grace. And when an infant is baptized, it's as if this Scripture passage above is perpetuated throughout that person's life. Because of this sacramental grace, Jesus continually says to this baptized soul, “Come to Me.”In addition to the grace of Baptism, we must all imitate Jesus' action of welcome and acceptance of not only children but of every child of God. Though the disciples initially tried to prevent the children from coming to our Lord, we must not. We must understand that there is a real temptation within our fallen human nature to both withhold the love of God from others and to even prevent others from coming to God. Anger, pride, envy, jealousy and the like can cause us to object to the conversion of others and to God welcoming them to Himself. When that temptation sets in, we must hear Jesus say to us, “Let the children come to me” and “do not prevent them.”Reflect, today, upon these gentle and inviting words of Jesus. As you do, try to call to mind anyone who you might try to prevent from coming to our Lord. Do you desire the holiness of all people? Is there anyone in your life whom you find it difficult to encourage to come to Jesus to be embraced and blessed? Take on the heart of Jesus and see it as your duty to embrace others as He embraced these children. The more you become an instrument of the love of Christ, the more you will daily rejoice in God's blessings as they are bestowed on others.My tender Lord, You welcome all people to share in Your grace. You welcome every child and every child of God to share in Your loving embrace. Please extend that welcome to me and help me to accept this gift of Your infinite love. And help me to become a better instrument of Your love toward others, never interfering or preventing them from turning to You. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Charles Lock Eastlake, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
