Starting nearly a thousand years ago at the Ben Ezra Synagogue of Old Cairo, worn-out books and scrolls were put in the genizah, a storage area for sacred texts.  In The Illustrated Cairo Genizah: A Visual Tour of Cairo Genizah Manuscripts at Cambridge Univertity Library (Gorgias Press, 2024), Nick Posegay and Melonie Schmierer-Lee tell the story of the genizah and show the journey of discovery through more than 125 years of research, showcasing over 300 stunning full-colour images, revealing forgotten stories of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities over a millennium of world history. In the nineteenth century, Scottish sisters Agnes and Margaret Smith brought manuscript pages back to England where Solomon Schechter recognized the lost Hebrew book of Ben Sira, also known as Ecclesiasticus or Sirach. Schechter then traveled to Cairo and toured the genizah, an attic chamber he described as a "windowless and doorless room of fair dimensions. The entrance is ... through a big, shapeless hole reached by a ladder."  Over the millenia, hundreds and thousands of documents were buried in this attic crypt, vividly described by Schechter: "It is a battlefield of books, and the literary production of many centuries had their share in the battle ... some of the belligerents have perished outright, and are literally ground to dust in the terrible struggle for space". In addition to images of the book of Ben Sira, the collection includes fragments of the oldest known Latin edition of St Augustine's sermons, Origen's Hexapla, and a 5th or 6th century copy of Aquila's translation of Kings, approximately 60 manuscripts written by Moses Maimonides, and a medieval copy of the 'Damascus Document' which was confirmed as an ancient text by the discovery of another copy among the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered at Qumram in 1947.  See visual examples of the collection online.

Clay Jenkinson is joined by regular contributor Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky for a spirited conversation about Margaret Bayard Smith, one of Thomas Jefferson's greatest admirers. Mrs. Smith, who was 35 years younger than Jefferson, was the wife of the editor of the National Intelligencer, the first Washington, D.C. newspaper. Her letters and journals, printed as The First Forty Years of Washington Society, contain some of the most interesting details of Jefferson's presidency, beginning with his inauguration on March 4, 1801. What she noticed and admired was the peaceful transfer of power in this our happy republic. Because Jefferson was a widower, Margaret Smith and Dolley Madison served as hostesses at some of Jefferson's White House functions. Smith and Jefferson shared a love of nature. In fact, when Jefferson retired he gave Mrs. Smith a geranium plant she coveted. She and her husband Samuel Harrison Smith visited Jefferson at Monticello in August 1809, just a few months into his 17-year retirement.

In this episode of Room to Grow, Curtis and Joanie consider ways to uncover how students are actually thinking about the mathematics they are learning. Using a real-life, recent incident between Curtis and his sixth grade son, our hosts consider the challenging fact that many students think that success in math class means figuring out what answer the teacher (or the computer program/app, or the back of the book) is looking for. They posit that when educators are always focused on the mathematics of the moment – what is being learned in a single lesson, week, or unit – we can focus students on the smaller grain size ideas instead of helping them to place their learning in the bigger picture of mathematics as a whole. As always, the episode recognizes that teachers work very hard at a very complex task: teaching young minds to deeply understand important mathematics!We encourage you to explore the resources below, referenced in this episode:“Listening to and Learning from Student Thinking,” by Elham Kazemi, Lynsey K.

Roy L hales/ Cortes Currents - On Wednesday, July 19, the Cortes Island Museum offered visitors a rare opportunity to see some of the clothing and accessories from its collections. 
The event was organized by Lily Allen, this summer's intern, who was inspired by the dress that Margaret Smith wore when she married John Manson in the late 1890's. 
“I remember seeing the dress in the Pioneer Room when I was growing up. It was such a distinct memory in my childhood on the island, that I thought it'd be really interesting to bring it out and have people actually see it (and not just see the photo),” she explained.

Rounding Up  Season 1 | Episode 2 – Posing Purposeful Questions  Guest: Dr. DeAnn Huinker  Mike Wallus: Educational theorist Charles De Garmo once said, ‘To question well is to teach well. In the skillful use of the question, more than anything else, lies the fine art of teaching.' Our guest today, DeAnn Huinker, is one of the co-authors of ‘Taking Action: Implementing Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices in Grades K–5.' We'll talk with DeAnn about the art and the science of questioning and the ways that teachers can maximize the impact of their questions on student learning. DeAnn, welcome to the podcast. It's great to have you.  DeAnn Huinker: I'm happy to be here, Mike. I'm looking forward to our conversation today.  Mike: So, I'd like to start by noting that NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) has identified posing purposeful questions as a high-leverage practice in ‘Principles to Actions,' and then again in 2017 with the publication of ‘Taking Action.' And I'm wondering if you can make the case for why educators should see purposeful questions as a critical part of this practice.     DeAnn: Yeah, certainly. Let's just jump right in here. As we think about purposeful questions and why we as teachers need to be more intentional and strategic in the questions we use … I was honored to be a member of the writing team for ‘Principals to Actions.' And in writing that document, we were really tasked with identifying a set of high-leverage teaching practices for mathematics. We reviewed the research from the previous 25 years ( chuckles ), and it was really clear: There's been a lot of research on teacher questioning. And what are the characteristics of effective questioning. So, as I think about making this case for purposeful questions, a couple things come to mind. First of all, researchers have estimated that teachers ask up to 400 questions each day in the classroom. I mean, that's more than one question every minute for the entire school day.  Mike: That's incredible ( sniffs ).  DeAnn: ( chuckles ) I know. That's a lot of questions. Also, if we think about it, it's not just how many questions we ask, but what questions. Because that depth of student learning is really dependent on the questions we ask them because our questions prompt them to consider and engage with the specific mathematical ideas that we're helping them to learn. The other thing I'd like to add to this, is that our questions also set the tone for what it means to learn and do mathematics.  Mike: Hmm. DeAnn: Are we asking questions about getting answers or are we asking questions that let students know we value and respect their inquiries into mathematical ideas into problem-solving, and that we really are about helping them make sense of mathematics? I think it's essential that we critically examine the types of questions we ask and how we can use them to best serve our students.  Mike: That's a really interesting way to think about it. That the questions we ask are really signaling to kids, ‘What is mathematics?' In some ways we're informing their definition of mathematics via the questions that we ask.  DeAnn: Yeah, I absolutely agree with you.  Mike: Well, I think one of the most eye-opening things for me to think about lately has been just learning more about the different categories of questions and the different purposes that they can serve. So, I'm wondering if you can briefly sketch out some of the types of questions teachers could put to use in their classrooms.  DeAnn: So, in ‘Principals to Actions,' we really looked at a lot of different frameworks that people have established over the years for questioning. And we kind of boiled it down to four specific types that are particularly important for mathematics teaching. One is to gather information. For example, can students remember the names for different types of triangles? Another is to probe student thinking. This is when we want them to further explain, elaborate or clarify their thinking. Uh, third type—which is my favorite category—are questions that make the mathematics visible. In other words, these are questions that prompt students to consider and explicitly discuss the underlying math concepts. Or that we want them to make connections among math ideas and relationships. Let me give you an example. If I were going to ask students to explain how to represent 3 × 5 with an array, they would have to consider more deeply the meaning of each of those numbers and that expression, and how that would connect to the representation. So, we're really getting at the mathematics there, not perhaps the problem or tasks that cause them to think about 3 × 5.  Mike: I see. I see.  DeAnn: Fourth category [is] questions that encourage students to reflect and justify. And I think of these as the why questions. Why does it work to solve 4 × 6 by adding 12 + 12? So, those are the four categories that we identified in ‘Principles to Actions.' But since that time, in the ‘Taking Action' book at the elementary level, my co-author and I decided to add a fifth category, because these questions really are emerging in classrooms often. So that fifth category is asking questions that encourage students to engage with the reasoning of other students. Many people refer to these as talk moves. For example, if we think about these talk moves that teachers use in their classrooms or that we need to use more often in our classrooms, an example would be, ‘Who could add on to what Mateo just said?' Or another example would be, ‘Could someone describe or put into their own words the strategy that Jasmine was just telling us about?' Those talk moves are the ones that really get students to listen to and start to have conversations with each other.  Mike: It's interesting because what comes to mind is, there are multiple reasons why that's such an important thing to do in the classroom. In addition to engaging with the reasoning, what it makes me think is it also gives the teacher the opportunity to position a child who may potentially have been marginalized as someone who has math knowledge or whose ideas are valuable.  DeAnn: As I was thinking about talking with you today, Mike, I got thinking about that same idea, which is how do we use questions to position students as capable and as having mathematical authority? And I think this is actually a new area in mathematics education that we need to explore in research further. Just by saying, ‘Can you repeat what Jasmine just said?' I'm actually marking her idea as probably something we should all listen to and consider more deeply.  Mike: Absolutely.  DeAnn: I definitely agree that we can use questions to position students as capable in math classrooms, which is something that's greatly needed these days. And that also helps students develop a more positive math identity in themselves and even fosters their math agency and capability in the classroom.  Mike: So, for me at least, personally, my perspective on questions really changed after I read the ‘5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussions' that was written by Margaret Smith and Mary Kay Stein. And after I read that, I really found myself investing a lot more time in preplanning my questions. So, what are your thoughts about whether or how teachers should approach preplanning questions?  DeAnn: In the five practices model, the first practice is to anticipate. This involves anticipating student responses to the kind of key math task of the lesson, and also planning questions so that you, as the teacher, are ready to respond to your students.  Mike: Uh-hm.  DeAnn: Practice of anticipating is preplanning. And I would strongly suggest having those questions written down on a piece of paper so that we are ready to refer to them during the lesson, because it's going to keep us on track, and it's going to give us those tools to help press students to talk more about the mathematical ideas that we want to surface.  Mike: I think part of what really is illuminating for me is, we're anticipating how students might think, and then really, we're digging into what's a response that can help advance their thinking regardless of the angle that they're coming at the task from. So, it's, in some ways, what we're talking about preplanning questions, is really kind of a differentiation strategy to some degree. DeAnn: Perhaps we want to talk a little bit more about the use of the math teaching practice talks about asking both assessing questions and advancing questions?  Mike: Yeah.  DeAnn: So, let's dig into that a little bit.  Mike: Yeah.  DeAnn: The teaching practice from NCTM says we should be using purposeful questions to both assess and advanced students' reasoning and their sense-making about important math ideas and relationships. So, assessing questions are those that really draw out students' current understanding and strategies. And then advancing questions are those that really move students forward in their thinking and understanding—and pushes or presses them or pulls them along towards those learning goals for the lesson. So, that has probably been one of the main things that has really evolved in my thinking in working on ‘Principles to Actions,' is thinking more deeply about these assessing questions and the advancing questions that we need to be posing in our classrooms.  Mike: It strikes me that of the two—they're both important. But it may be that planning advancing questions is the more challenging task for an educator. Talk to me a little bit about preplanning or thinking in advance about advancing questions.  DeAnn: Certainly. So, first as we think about assessing questions, those tend to be more the recalling information, probing student thinking.  Mike: Uh-hm.  DeAnn: As teachers, I think we're pretty good at that. We can all say, ‘Well, how did you think about that? How did you figure that out?' But the advancing questions are much more difficult because that means we, as teachers, have to know: Where are we going with this task and what's the math we want? So, in thinking about this … Or, for example, I was recently working with a group of teachers. And what they did is they worked in grade-level groups and even preplanned the questions they were going to use in an upcoming lesson. And it was really true that yes, assessing questions they had. But we took a lot of time to kind of unpack and think about these advancing lessons. So, I'm going to kind of share, like, three steps here to think about this.  DeAnn: One, you really need to know the math learning goals for the lesson because the advancing questions need to be about the mathematics students are learning. Two, it's helpful to work through the math task that the students are going to be doing in the lesson cause that's going to help you anticipate and approach the task and think about, ‘OK, what might be happening in their work?' And then third, we can preplan those questions that should be specific to the task, to the anticipated student work, and most importantly to the mathematics.  Mike: Uh-hm.  DeAnn: If you can do that with someone, it's so invaluable to brainstorm and bounce ideas off each other.  Mike: I was thinking about what you were saying. And it's striking the difference between an advancing question that's, as you said, about the mathematics that we're trying to advance, versus a question that might move a child toward mimicking a strategy for a right answer right now, but that isn't actually in the long-term advancing the mathematics that we want. That really, for me, is jumping out as something that … it's a line that we want to help people see the difference between those two things, particularly in the moment. And I think that's why, as you were talking, DeAnn, the idea of, let's write some of these things down so that we have them on hand. Because in the moment it's often difficult to make those kinds of judgements when you're in a public space with a whole bunch of children in front of you. That's a superhuman task at some times ( chuckles ). So, there's certainly no stigma to writing it down. In fact, it's a strategy that makes a ton of sense for teachers.  DeAnn: Yeah, definitely agree. There's nothing wrong with having those questions on a piece of paper, on a clipboard, carrying that with you, pausing, taking a moment. ‘What might be some questions I want to ask here?' I mean, asking questions is really a skill we develop as teachers, and we need to use tools and resources to, kind of, help us.  Mike: Well, I was going to say, the other thing that's really hitting me, DeAnn, is the connection between the learning goal and the question; how clearly we see the learning goal and the different levels of progression that kids will make as they're approaching the learning goal. And advancing means recognizing the meaning of a child's thinking at a given time and thinking about what's the next move, regardless of where they're at. Move children toward that deeper understanding.  DeAnn: Yeah. Perhaps it would be helpful if we share some examples.  Mike: Let's do that.  DeAnn: All right. So, assessing questions—as we were talking, it's like, ‘Tell me about your thinking? Can you explain your picture to me? Can you tell me about the tape diagram you drew and used to solve this problem?' Just getting into that kid's thinking and where they're currently at. But then the advancing questions really move students' thinking forward. As you were saying, kind of along this continuum. So, we have to be ready to guide them, kind of step by step, to kind of scaffold that thinking, right? So, I might ask a question, ‘What equation could you write for that problem?' Maybe they got the answer, but what would be an equation they could write? Because perhaps my learning goal is to help them make a connection between those different representations, the context and the equation. I might see that a child has written an equation, but then I might say, ‘Could you label what each of those numbers means in your equation?' Because I really want to make sure they understand the mathematical meaning of each of those numbers.  Mike: Absolutely.  DeAnn: Just asking kids questions, like ‘How are your strategies similar or different?' That's also going to make them think a little more [deeply]. So, all of these advancing questions, really the goal is sense-making and more depth of understanding.  Mike: That totally makes sense. I'm wondering if we can pivot a little bit and talk about the types of teacher moves that might accompany an assessing or an advancing question? What might I do after I ask an assessing question, as opposed to say, asking an advancing question?  DeAnn: So, with assessing questions, the goal of them is really to understand where the student is currently at. So, I would ask an assessing question, and as the teacher I would stay and listen. So, we could assume students are working individually or small groups.  Mike: OK.  DeAnn: So, I might ask an assessing question of a child or a small group and stay and listen because I'm trying to figure out, really to understand, what they did ( chuckles ) and why they did that. Whereas an advancing question, I would be more likely to pose the question to the individual child or small group and then walk away and say, ‘I'll be back in a minute or two to see what you've done or what you're thinking about.' So, it's kind of like giving them time to pause and ponder and consider that question. Mike: This is fascinating because I wonder if for a lot of people that might feel counterintuitive, that you would pose the advancing question and walk away. Tell us a little bit more about the why behind that choice.  DeAnn: Our goal really is to help students become independent math learners in the classroom. By asking the question and then saying, ‘I'll be back in a couple minutes; think about that or show me what you've done,' we want them to be able to figure out how to proceed with a task on their own so that they don't become dependent upon us as teachers. But they really develop that agency in themselves to try things out, whether they're right or wrong, but at least that they're making some progress in the task.  Mike: You know what it makes me think, DeAnn, is that asking an advancing question and walking away might feel foreign to the educator, and it might at least initially feel kind of foreign to the child as well. But over time, it will start to feel like the culture of the classroom, and the child will actually get to a point where it's like, ‘Oh, my teacher believes that I have the ability to think about this and come up with an idea.' And that's a real gift to a child. It does what you were talking about earlier, which is: Question sets the culture and helps children think about what is it to be learning about math.  DeAnn: Yeah. We've also talked about that other type of question to encourage students, to engage with the reasoning of each other. That also really helps with those advancing questions and that tone in the classroom. Cause you could ask a question as a teacher and then say, ‘Why don't you talk with each other for a while about this?' Or ask one student to explain to another student some of their ideas. So, we can, again, use those talk moves when students are working in partners in small groups to learn from each other.  Mike: I'm struck by the idea that this conversation we're having about questioning is also really pretty tightly connected to, how do we support children when they need to engage with productive struggle? And I'm wondering if you could talk about the connection between high-quality advancing or assessing questions, and helping kids manage and engage in productive struggle at the end.  DeAnn: Thinking back to ‘Principles to Actions,' we identified eight high-leverage teaching practices for mathematics. And one of them is using purposeful questions. But another one is supporting productive struggle. So, the connection I think you're kind of alluding to here, Mike, really is they go hand in hand. We can use our questioning to encourage students to persevere in the mathematics that they're doing. But those questions, again, [mean] we are, first of all, trying to understand where the student is at by asking those assessing questions. And then we can encourage them to kind of, like, this bridge, right? With those advancing questions we're trying to get them to consider some of the mathematical ideas that might actually not even be on their horizon for them right now. So, if we say, ‘How could you put this fraction on a number line?' Or ‘How do you know this fraction is greater than or less than one?' We're asking a question to really make that math idea visible and to get them to consider it. And then we're pausing and giving them time and space to consider it and figure out how to proceed on their own. If I, as a teacher, tell them what to do next, that means I'm owning the math, I'm being the authority, and I'm not valuing struggle as part of the learning process.  Mike: Mm, yes. Yes, absolutely. Well, before we close, I want to dig into one more question type. And this is the one that I think really is just kind of transcendent. It transcends the task at hands and digs into students' understanding of big ideas. And it's the one that you would describe as making mathematics visible. Can you talk a little bit about the importance of these types of questions and perhaps some examples that would help people kind of envision what they look like in an elementary classroom?  DeAnn: So, you asked about these questions [that are] really making the math visible. As I think about that, what comes right to mind is a fascinating study conducted by Michelle Perry and her colleagues. They actually looked at the questions and examined very closely the questions teachers ask in a first-grade classroom for mathematics. And they compared the questioning of teachers in Japan, Taiwan, in the United States. Well, unfortunately they found that teachers in the U.S. ask significantly [fewer] questions that require high-level thinking than in Japan and Taiwan. In fact, teachers in those countries tend to ask questions that transcend the problem at hand. I love that phrase. The question goes beyond the surface of the task to really transcend that problem at hand, to get at the underlying math ideas, math concepts, and connections that we want students to make. And they found that teachers in Japan and Taiwan went beyond the surface to really make the math visible for students to consider. And really kept students engaged at higher cognitive levels of thinking.  Mike: That is fascinating. What it reminds me of is, I think it was Jim [James] Hiebert and [James] Stigler wrote about the idea of the mathematics classroom as a cultural activity, in that there's this kind of underlying script of what it means to be a student or a teacher in a mathematics classroom. And I think what we're really talking about in some ways is the role of questioning in building a different vision of what a mathematics classroom is or what it means to be an educator of mathematics.  DeAnn: Yeah. I think that ties right back to our earlier sharing about productive struggle. We think if students don't know the answer quickly that it's our job to step in and tell them how to do it.  Mike: Uh-hm. We're almost coming full circle though, in the sense that I think the promise of high-quality questioning—be it assessing or advancing—is that we're really, by considering the ways that students might think about a task and then considering the ways that you can assess that and advance their thinking from wherever they may be, we really are helping teachers see a different way. And I think that's the power of what you're describing when you talk about strong questioning, DeAnn.  DeAnn: Yeah.  Mike: So, we talked a little bit about what to do next. But I would love for you to take a moment to weigh in on the question of wait time. What are your thoughts about wait time and its value and how that can work in a classroom to support children?  DeAnn: So far today, we've been talking a lot about like the types of questions that teachers ask. But the implementation of those questions is also something we need to think a little bit more about. So, [there are] two types of wait time. Wait time is when I ask a question as a teacher, and how long do I wait until I call on a student? The research on wait time really shows that as teachers, we tend to wait less than a second.  Mike: That's incredible.  DeAnn: Yeah. We provide no processing time to our young learners to really formulate those ideas in their head and then be able to share back. So, just by reminding ourselves to pause for 3 seconds makes a huge difference in the learning that goes on in a classroom. Those 3 seconds, what happens is we find out that more students will respond to our questions. The length of students' responses increases. And those questions or those responses from students where they say, ‘Oh, I don't know,' decrease. So merely waiting 3 seconds makes a huge difference. And as teachers, we just don't deal well with silence, and thinking time, and processing time. So, I think it's always a good reminder to just monitor the amount of time we give students to process ideas after we ask a question.  Mike: You know, as a person who works in math education, when I'm at a dinner party or in mixed company with people, and I ask them, ‘Tell me about your memories of elementary school mathematics.' There are a few common things that always come up. One is typically, as I'm sure won't surprise you, the idea of memorizing my facts. And the other theme that kind of goes along with that is this sense that I wasn't good at math because I didn't know the answer right away. And the connection I'm making is, maybe that's because we didn't give you enough time to actually process and think. If we simply expand our time and give kids 3 seconds or 4 or 5, rather than 1, how different would that experience of mathematics be for children? How many folks would actually feel differently about mathematics and maybe, perhaps, not associate mathematics with just being the first and being the fastest to find the answer.  DeAnn: So, again, we're talking about using our questioning to kind of establish that tone and the expectations in the classroom about what it means to learn and do mathematics. And we shouldn't be in such a hurry ( chuckles ) for students to respond. We as adults need our processing time. Our young learners, [who] are first encountering many of these new ideas in mathematics, we need to give them time to think and to process and make connections before we expect them to respond to any of our questions.  Mike: The piece about 1 second is just so striking. It's odd because I suspect people imagine that by coming back that quickly, they're actually supporting the child. But you're actually doing the opposite ( chuckles ). You're teaching them: One, if you haven't had it in a second, what's wrong with you? And then two: You're also fostering dependency. It's fascinating how, what I think comes from a desire to help, is actually debilitating. DeAnn: It really speaks to the need to reestablish not only norms for students in our classrooms, but really for ourselves as teachers.  Mike: Definitely. Well, I just wanted to say thank you so much for this conversation. It's really been a pleasure to have you join us and hopefully we'll have you back at some time in the future.  DeAnn: And thank you, Mike. I've really enjoyed talking about the importance of purposeful questions for teachers to consider more deeply in their classroom practice.  Mike: This podcast is brought to you by The Math Learning Center and the Maier Math Foundation, dedicated to inspiring and enabling individuals to discover and develop their mathematical confidence and ability.  © 2022 The Math Learning Center | www.mathlearningcenter.org

Beyond Exclusion: Intersections of Ethnicity, Sex, and Society Under English Law in Medieval Ireland (Brepols, 2022) offers a fresh look at the legal status of minorities in English Ireland. Through a detailed analysis of case studies gleaned from medieval court rolls, Stephen Hewer challenges the prevailing narrative of wholesale ethnic discrimination and presents a nuanced picture of intersectional identities, strategies of negotiation, and evolving tensions between legal principle and practice. The notion that all Gaelic peoples were immediately and ipso facto denied access to the English royal courts in Ireland, upon the advent of the English in 1167, has become so accepted in academic and popular histories of Ireland that it is no longer questioned. This book tackles this narrative of absolute ethnic discrimination in thirteenth- and early fourteenth-century English Ireland on the basis of a thorough re-examination of the Irish plea rolls. A forensic study of these records reveals a great deal of variation in how members of various ethnic groups and women who came before the royal courts in Ireland were treated. Specifically, it demonstrates the existence of a large, and hitherto scarcely noticed, population of Gaels with regular and unimpeded access to English law, identifiable as Gaelic either through explicit ethnic labelling in the records or implicitly through their naming practices.

È appena terminata la finale di Wimbledon del 2018. Serena Williams è diventata mamma l'anno prima e ha da poco fatto il suo rientro sui campi da gioco. Questa finale potrebbe regalarle il settimo titolo sull'erba londinese e soprattutto il 24o trionfo in un torneo del Grande Slam, raggiungendo così un record che da ormai tanti anni rincorre. Ma è una rincorsa senza fine, quasi maledetta. Come Dorando Pietri nella leggendaria maratona di oltre cento anni prima, anche Serena Williams a Londra crolla proprio all'ultimo chilometro e si fa beffare dalla tedesca Angelique Kerber. E fallirà anche nello slam successivo, nella sua New York, dove ancora viene battuta in finale, e ancora e ancora in tutti i tre anni che seguiranno e in tutti i tornei Major a cui prenderà parte. Serena Williams non raggiunge, e probabilmente non raggiungerà mai, quel maledetto record di 24 titoli del Grande Slam. Un primato che resta sempre in mano ad un'altra campionessa, che è proprio la protagonista di questa puntata di ORMe. Questa è la storia di Margaret Smith Court.

Ma negli ultimi anni le sue posizioni sull'omosessualità ("Un abominio agli occhi del Signore") e le sue campagne contro il movimento LGBT stanno imbarazzando il Paese.

Cybersecurity is the responsibility of everyone. A cyber attack is no longer confined to the digital realm and can have real impact on various industries like food, gas and medicine. But despite these challenges, there is an opportunity for a new whole-of-society approach to defend against the mounting cyber threats emanating from places like Russia, China and North Korea. One approach advocates that the United States already has a non-governmental model for citizen involvement to adopt for cyberspace. Alvaro Marañon sat down with Mark Grzegorzewski and Margaret Smith, who, along with Barnett Koven, are the authors of “Cyber Privateering: A New Model for Cyber Civic Engagement,” a paper they presented at the 2021 Cybersecurity Law and Policy Scholars Conference. They discussed the details around the Estonian model that inspired this paper, the role for Civil Air Patrol and the impact a local civil cyber organization could play in the community.

There may be many reasons for this – and some will overlap. In this interactive session, we will look at some of the causes of underachievement, and try to find some solutions that could benefit the whole class. We will start by looking at how all teachers can effectively support those learners who are using English as an Additional Language (EAL), and then move on to what we should be alert to in order to identify any children who also may have dyslexia or another SPLD. Finally, we will look at some common speech, language and communication needs, and how they could be met in the classroom. Please feel free to bring your questions and share your experiences, so that, as a group, we can empower each other to support our learners.   Host Mark Taylor (Vice Chair NAPE) - Mark has been a professional percussionist for 25 years and performed with some of the major orchestras and arts organisations in the UK. Mark combines his performing career with teaching drums/percussion in schools and providing whole class rhythm workshops.

ELT well was set up in 2005 to bridge the gap between English Language Teaching and support for learners with SpLDs (such as dyslexia). Dr Anne Margaret Smith has taught English for 30 years and is also a dyslexia specialist tutor and assessor. She founded ELT well with the intention of bringing together best practice from the two fields of ELT and SpLD support, and now offers materials and training to teachers. She is the co-ordinator of the IATEFL SIG: Inclusive Practices and SEN. She started her teaching career in Kenya and has since worked in Germany, Sweden, New Zealand and the UK, in private schools, primary schools, colleges, universities, people’s front rooms and all kinds of work places. Along the way she has picked up the following qualifications: BA (Hons) in English Language and Linguistics (York University) Certificate in TEFLA (GlosCAT) MA Language Teaching / Language Studies (Lancaster University) Postgraduate Certificate in Specific Learning Difficulties (Edinburgh University) PGCE (Post-Compulsory Education) (University of Central Lancashire) PhD in Educational Research / Linguistics (Lancaster University) Assessment Practising Certificate issued by PATOSS. Her PhD combined her experience in English Language teaching and Learner Support and explored how the issue of inclusive education is addressed in teacher training and education for EFL teachers. http://eltwell.com/ (www.eltwell.com/) Social Media Information @amsELTwell If you would like to support the Education on Fire GoFundMe campaign to create a valuable resource for our children based on the wisdom of our inspiring guests please click below. https://uk.gofundme.com/f/education-on-fire-book-fundraiser (https://uk.gofundme.com/f/education-on-fire-book-fundraiser) Show Sponsor The National Association for Primary Education has an online conference on 8th March 2021 entitled: https://nape.org.uk/conference (TOWARDS A BALANCED AND BROADLY-BASED CURRICULUM) Virtual Conference – Monday 8th March 2021, 4.15pm-6.45pmThe Conference, embracing a theme which has always been central to debate about children’s entitlements, has been highlighted by OfSTED as critical in curriculum development and its central importance has been further accentuated by the pressures under which primary schools are working in the post-lockdown phase as they prioritise what is perceived as essential in educational recovery. The impact of the coronavirus pandemic on children’s education may be perceived as a justification for narrowing the curriculum at the expense of the arts and the humanities, but this conference will explore the case for preserving young children’s entitlement to as rich and diverse a curriculum as possible. Dr. Eaude’s keynote lecture will set the scene, highlighting some key issues and considering some lessons to be learnt from the period of lockdown.

Do you know how your personal development affects your professional development as a real estate admin? Believe it or not, the two might have more in common than you think! I have two of my favorite people on the podcast this week - Margaret Smith & Kathleen Metcalf. If you’ve interacted with any of my materials, you’ve probably heard me name-drop them a few times. Margaret & Kathleen both run several businesses, and they’ve come together to create a program for real estate admins called “Be You. The Inner Circle.” Today’s goal is to tackle the topic of admin professional development, and to emphasize the importance of putting personal development first (which is something that so many admins struggle to do)! Not only that, but we’ll dive into how you can build yourself up to be fulfilled in both your life and career. About "Be You. The Inner Circle" Program Website (i.e. EVERYTHING you need!)

She has her Masters in Social Work with a focus on administration, and is an adamant believer in human potential.

MARGARET SMITH and KEVIN KAUFFMAN Margaret Smith is a phenom in the world of Real Estate Team Operations where she is employed by Pickett Street Properties in the Seattle WA area. She is an experienced operations guru with a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Washington. She has taken her background in social work and art degree and applied it the real estate industry over the last 7 years. Margaret's focus is on recruiting, screening, interviewing, hiring, public relations, client events, team culture, and social media. She partners up with Jesse D. Moore on a regular podcast called Finely Clicked. Margaret and Jesse discuss business, leadership, and personal development. Margaret's biggest learning curve coming into the real estate world was learning to communicate with agent-minded people in general and bridging the gap between agents and admin. She has learned the importance of developing the relationship between Rain Maker Agents and support staff and teaches a class on this called “Make it Rain Together”. Having been brought up with the knowledge of embracing both human and social capital as a path to success, she knew immediately how valuable it is in navigating the real estate business and began networking from the start. She surrounds herself with successful people because the more perspectives you have, the better to serve yourself and your team. The number one issue most agents have when starting a team is the relative lack of business or people experience which is a lack of leadership. The beauty of the real estate business is the constant flow of self-development to gain the leadership needed to form a strong team with little to no turnover. Personal self-development uncovers passion, talent, and skills; it's shocking how little people spend on personal development. Agents who want to form a team should interview at least 5 candidates and train them well in both business and personal development. Margaret hosts an annual retreat for Directors of Operations where she invites operational gurus to speak. It is held annually in April. For more information on this retreat, go to her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pnwoperationsretreat/ To listen in on the best ideas for business, leadership, and personal development.

In our second episode of “Deliver Us,” we look at two suspected causes of the sex abuse crisis: celibacy and gay priests. Psychologist Thomas Plante has worked clinically and academically in the area of clerical sexual abuse for 30 years, and he describes the behaviors and traits that are common among abuser priests. Margaret Smith of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice gives us a deep dive on the data. She says that the statistics do not support theories that celibacy and gay priests caused the abuse crisis. After looking at the data, Maggi asks three men a more personal question: How’s your celibate life going? These men had different experiences of celibacy in the Catholic church, and help us to understand how the church can better help priests to live healthy, celibate lives.

018 Margaret Smith—Volunteering with Owl’s Hill Nature Sanctuary Owl’s Hill Nature Sanctuary—Spreading an Appreciation and Enjoyment of Nature Since childhood Margaret Smith has cherished nature. Her maternal grandmother lived on the Cumberland River bluffs and introduced her to the world of nature through flowers and animals and the habitat they need to live. Discussions and breakfasts on the bluffs with her grandmother proved to be the instrumental in Margaret’s love of nature. After college Margaret taught elementary school, later married, had two children and went to graduate school in 1980. She graduated with a doctorate and maintained a practice in psychology for 26 years. After taking her grandchildren to enjoy the nature sanctuary’s “hot chocolate tour,” she started volunteering at Owl's Hill. Later Margaret enrolled in Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency’s naturalist program and now is known as a Master Naturalist. Owl’s Hill is waiting to be discovered by nature lovers as well as those who haven’t yet discovered they are! The staff is eager to share their awareness, knowledge, and skill. With many environmental-education programs offered for all ages, volunteers are especially important. To learn more about volunteering at Owl’s Hill, visit www.owlshill.org.

When I first started digging into this story in November of last year, I had no idea about any of the theories that have been floating around Milan for twenty years. But I immediately received some startling information from some classmates of Cayce.    I knew nothing about Cindy being the focus of this investigation either officially, unofficially or in the court of public opinion. And I definitely didn’t know about some of the things that people were saying that Cayce herself was involved in.   My fear of finding any truth in what Cayce’s peers were saying, caused me to drop this project at least three times. But aren’t we after the truth? I always thought that being an outsider looking at this case was a benefit: I could be objective because I had limited dealings with the people of Milan. I don’t play favorites. I didn’t run around with anyone involved so I have no misplaced loyalties.   But once I started getting more and more information, I realized that if we were going to get to the truth, certain narratives that have been perpetuated for years were going to be destroyed by some carpetbagger musician. I was not going to be a very popular dude.    I even asked people involved in the media game what I should do about what I was hearing concerning both Cindy and Cayce. And what I was told disturbed me. Basically, I was advised that Cindy was fair game. Her name was already sullied. But these things about Cayce, well, now, that was a bridge too far.   But my fear was that the narrative that has been repeated over again was causing people to look at only one possible motive. The drug debt angle with Cindy and one man in particular is the prevailing theory in town. This is the story that I have been told so often that Quote “Everyone knows.” UnQuote   Well, I DON’T know that. I do know that some of the things that I have heard concerning people associated with Cayce (possibly without Cindy’s knowledge) are just as plausible as the drug debt theory.   And if we really want answers…if we REALLY want the truth, that might mean that we uncover some things that we don't want to hear. And these things might not fit perfectly into our preconceived notions. We can’t have it both ways. The truth is no respecter of persons. The truth just IS.   I have been slammed because I haven’t mentioned the one guy that “everyone knows” did it. For purposes of this podcast, we will call this man Mr. X. Well, for one, I’m going down the timeline with this. And we're not there yet. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to go there prematurely when there are just as many plausible possibilities that are jumping out at me from the beginning.   For example, The Letter. If my sources are correct, this has nothing at all to do with Mr. X. That letter was so alarming, that Cindy and others reportedly confronted the author on two separate occasions to get him to back off. It’s been twenty-one years. Do people really think that Mr. X wasn't on law enforcements’ radar? I know for a fact that he was. And what do we have to show for it two decades later? Nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada.   I’m not saying that Mr. X is innocent. I’m saying I don’t know.   I’ve been warned on numerous occasions to beware of people intentionally trying to send me down the wrong path in this case. Not a warning that people might give me faulty information because of fading memories, or unsubstantiated rumors that they honestly believe, but actual disinformation. Well, this implies a conspiracy. And while I’m no conspiracy theorist, I took this to heart. That was an eerie warning to receive when you first come into this, knowing nothing. It causes you to trust no one.   So this episode is the elephant in the room that almost kept this podcast from ever happening.   I’m Brandon Barnett. And this is Searching For Ghosts.   Just four days after Cayce was reported missing, The Jackson Sun newspaper reported that after finding none of her belongings missing at the house that police were treating this as an abduction.   Cayce had reportedly been seen at the Gibson County Fair and at a Dyersburg, Tn Wal-Mart. This is what led to the composite sketch mentioned in Episode 2. Valorie. In the August 28, 1996 edition of the Jackson Sun, Milan Police Lt. Jerry Hartsfield said that QUOTE “Cayce left with someone she knew and felt comfortable with. Now, we need to find out who that is.” UNQUOTE   Then, on September 15, 1996, The Jackson Sun did an interview with Cayce’s mother Cindy. The article begins QUOTE “Police believe that Cayce ran away. It’s possible an unknown male is involved. Reports have been phoned in from across the U.S. describing Cayce with an older man.” UNQUOTE   The article included a picture of Cayce with a caption asking if she was a runaway or a kidnap victim.   So one month after she went missing, Cayce’s disappearance was being looked at as this hybrid of a runaway and an abduction-- That maybe she was lured away by someone she knew, or willingly left with someone initially, and that it turned into an abduction.   Remember the headline mentioned in Ep.2 Valorie from the October 1st, 1996 edition of The Milan Mirror Exchange? “Left On Her Own Free Will Smartdog Says?"   The theories floating around concerning Cindy are disturbing. I’ve heard everything from this being retribution for a drug debt to there being a prostitution ring. These theories all have one thing in common: That it was Cindy who got in too deep with drugs and this was a way for her to pay her debts.   But as I stated in Ep.4 The Letter, so many of these theories have taken on urban legend status. People repeat these stories as fact. But the problem is that with each person you talk to, you get a different version of a similar story. Many of them don’t seem to connect. If there are similar stories with different perpetrators at different locations, they all can't be true.   Until Cindy decides to speak to me, I only have what she has said in the past. And until recently, this has been next to nothing. But now I have the Jackson Sun articles from the time shortly after Cayce’s disappearance, when she WOULD talk to the press.   Cindy in The Jackson Sun just one month after Cayce went missing. QUOTE “ I am so guilty of not communicating with her. My dad was an alcoholic and he always said, ‘Just do it.’ My mom had a hard time and I was smacked around plenty. I can’t remember spanking Cayce but twice because I said my kids wouldn’t live like that. But I don’t know how to talk about things.” UNQUOTE   After being asked if she had seen any signs of rebellion in Cayce, Cindy said this: QUOTE: “I found out she smoked cigarettes. It just floored me.” UNQUOTE   This was the same article where Cindy had discovered that Cayce was talking to the eighteen year-old that was facing federal charges in a McNairy County jail, mentioned in the last episode.   Fast forward to the one year anniversary of Cayce’s disappearance and the things that I was initially told by her peers were verified in the news report.   From Cayce’s grandmother Margaret Smith:   QUOTE: “I just can’t believe she ran away. But then, I didn’t know she was sexually active either. The FBI asked me if I knew that. But she wasn’t as close to me as she had been. I guess that goes with being a teenager. They said she was mingling with the wrong crowd and had gotten an older boyfriend. He got put in jail for something."   Later in the article, Cindy cites receiving this information from law enforcement officials. Talking about Cindy QUOTE: “She, too, found out from the law officers that Cayce had a boyfriend who admitted he’d had sex with her for the first time two weeks before she vanished."   Cindy was also told by police that this boyfriend was not involved in her disappearance.   And one year in, the rumors about Cindy’s possible involvement were already circulating. From Cindy QUOTE: “It’s hard to swallow that some people think you killed your child and hid the body. I can relate to that guy accused in the Olympic bombing.” UNQUOTE    The Jackson Sun reports from the FBI confirm what I had been hearing from Cayce’s peers from day one. Without this confirmation, I don’t know that I would have ever mentioned it. That’s why I decided to use the audio of the reports I had received about a change in Cayce around the time she went missing instead.   That was a way to point to the fact that there were different "on the record” accounts being told from people who knew Cayce. In the beginning, this was the only way I knew to get the audience to at least consider that there might be another person or group of people who could be responsible for this that might not have any connection to Cindy.   Because let’s face it. Cindy is an easy target…and maybe deservedly so, but everyone involved is doing a disservice to Cayce by not telling the entire truth. It looks like that it was someone who knew Cayce who is responsible for this. So you have to look at EVERYONE who knew her, not just the ones associated with Cindy.   But let me be clear. This information in no way lessens Cayce’s innocence. The only reason this is relevant is that it possibly opens the door for more persons of interest. Nothing else.       Our culture and legal system have deemed that fourteen year olds do not possess the emotional maturity to make rational decisions regarding sex. But grown men do. And they go to jail for it.   The purpose of this episode is to do one thing: To force us to consider other possible motives and perpetrators responsible for this.     Because for me, at this point, it is just as plausible that Cindy was so distracted by her partying that she didn’t realize the type of people pursuing her daughter. With the evidence currently available, that is as possible as any drug or prostitution ring theory.  We must stay objective until hard evidence leads us in a certain direction. And it very well could be that law enforcement officials already have such evidence. But until we know that for sure, we have to consider all possibilities.   For those of you who follow The Searching For Ghosts Facebook page, you might have seen a post where I said you wouldn’t believe your ears in the next episode.    This case is fluid. While we are investigating and reporting on the past, trying to get a handle on the actual facts in this case, new leads are constantly coming in.   Last week, the person helping me behind the scenes received a tip from a source about a possible “dump” site. They went out to investigate this and found skeletal remains. When I made that post, I was sure that they were human. The authorities were contacted and they took the remains for analysis. We later received word (after I had posted on Facebook) that these were indeed animal remains.   I apologize for any unnecessary hype. I got excited. It happens. We have a pic of the  remains at sfgpodcast.com so you can see what was found. Tell us what you think.   Searching For Ghosts Website

Imagine finding that you are genetically predisposed for the genetic mutation BRCA2. According to the National Cancer Institute, BRCA2 (Breast Cancer 2, Early Onset) is "a gene on chromosome 13 that normally helps to suppress cell growth. These proteins help repair damaged DNA and, therefore, play a role in ensuring the stability of the cell's genetic material. When either of these genes is mutated, or altered, such that its protein product either is not made or does not function correctly, DNA damage may not be repaired properly. As a result, cells are more likely to develop additional genetic alterations that can lead to cancer." When Maggie discovered she carried the BRCA2 gene, she took immediate action and began the run for her life. Hear how she reacted when faced with this life-threatening medical issue and how her husband helped her recover and find her new passion. She was quoted in the Army Times as saying "I want women to get tested…I want them to know there are others out there experiencing the same thing, others who have been through it," Smith said. "Men are carriers too -- get tested."

Another great episode about finding the right talent to help you reach the next level in your business! As a current administrator in the real estate industry, Margaret Smith has the best insight into what kind of direction a fantastic admin needs in order to help your business excel. She also shares some great tips on how to make that agent/admin relationship blossom as you navigate the tricky world of letting go of your everyday tasks and allowing someone else to take some of that unnecessary weight off your shoulders. I don’t know about the rest of you, but for me, and most of the agents I know, letting go is a pretty tough concept. We tend to be control freaks and it’s difficult for us to hand over our responsibilities to someone else, especially in a business that we built ourselves and is so personal. However, it’s SO vital to our success! In order for any business to be successful, communication needs to be at the top of your priority list with everyone on your team whether they are sales people or administrative staff. It’s important to establish where your daily priorities lie and what goals you intend to accomplish that year.   I cannot say it enough, without that extra help you are only holding your business back from breaking through that ceiling giving you the leverage you need to make your growing success in real estate a reality.  At the end of the day, you need to run your business like a business because one person cannot consistently or realistically keep up with the growing demands more clients entails without help. Take a listen to all Margaret has to offer. It’s always insightful to hear an insider’s perspective. I think we can all learn a lot about what our current admins may need from us to help them bring growth to our business and what some of us may need to be looking for in finding the right person to help us get there.   Show Features Here are some of the key takeaways from this episode.

UbuWeb nace en 1996 de la mano de Kenneth Goldsmith como archivo de poesía visual, concreta y sonora, que posteriormente introduce también films y otros archivos de texto y sonido. Sin presupuesto de ningún tipo, UbuWeb se mantiene gracias a la colaboración entre diferentes centros y empresas, manteniéndose al margen del ámbito institucional y académico. La mayoría del material publicado se obtiene sin permiso (Margaret Smith afirma que “Ubu se comporta como si no existiese el copyright” y lo define como “una fuente comisariada de arte y sonido del siglo XX en la Red”).

Margaret Smith, physical Sciences librarian at New York University and consulting archivist for UbuWeb, explained the characteristics of UbuWeb, a site that is known for its work in recovering audiovisual archives of 20th century avant-garde art and making it publicly available on the Internet. UbuWeb was created by Kenneth Goldsmith in 1996 as an archive of visual, concrete and sound poetry, and later began adding films and other text and sound archives. Given the limited access to much material from the avant-garde movements, the UbuWeb team decided to make this content available to Internet users under a principle of “gift economy”, without charging for it and avoiding any kind of commercial format. Without a budget of any kind, UbuWeb operates thanks to collaborations with different centres and companies, and remains outside of the institutional and academic spheres. Most of the material published is obtained without permission (Margaret Smitt said that “Ubu behaves as though copyright did not exist”).
