Ruffed grouse habitat can look good on a map and still leave plenty of questions once the boots hit the ground. Ann Jandernoa returns for her tenth appearance on the Birdshot Podcast to help Nick work through listener questions about reading cover and handling bird dogs.The conversation starts with early-season conditions and how dry weather changes the places Ann looks for birds. From there, they get into stem density, the forest floor, and the smaller features that make one pocket of a cut more useful than the surrounding cover. A clump of balsam, a shaded edge, or a connection between cover types can give a grouse another option.There are questions about hawthorn and wild apples, hunting habitat farther east, where grouse spend the night, and those unusual days when birds seem to keep flushing from the same stretch of cover. Nick and Ann also discuss helping a young dog work running grouse more calmly, choosing dogs to run together, and communicating a plan with hunting partners.In this episodeDry conditions, moisture, and early-season brood observationsWhat stem density tells Ann about canopy and the forest floorFinding productive pockets and connections within grouse coverHawthorn, wild apples, and habitat differences between New England and the Great LakesGrouse movement, nighttime cover, and large concentrations of birdsRelocating on running grouse and helping a young dog slow downRunning one dog or several, approaching points, and planning a hunt with partnersQuestions from the conversationWhat does stem density tell a grouse hunter?Ann looks beyond the number of stems to how the canopy comes together and what grows beneath it. She describes cover with an interlaced canopy and a floor that young grouse can move through. Nick and Ann discuss how the useful features change as a stand ages and birds move beyond their brood cover.How does dry weather change where Ann looks for grouse?Ann follows shade, moisture, and cover connections. She describes looking toward transitions near lowlands and conifers when surrounding cover dries out. Nick and Ann also discuss how sandy and heavier soils respond differently, and why the condition of the plants and forest floor can be more useful in the field than remembering a soil classification.What makes one pocket of grouse habitat better than another?Ann's answer changes with the season. Early on, she pays close attention to the floor and canopy. As leaves come down, shrub cover and connections between habitat types become more important. Nick describes scanning for a lone spruce, balsam clumps, deadfalls, and nearby edges, then giving his dog a chance to investigate those features.How does Ann approach a dog on point?Ann describes circling out and around rather than crowding the dog from behind or coming directly alongside a young dog. She also looks at likely escape cover and whether there is room to swing a shotgun among the trees. Nick shares his own tendency to circle wider, with communication and positioning becoming especially important when another hunter is present.Connect with AnnScout and Hunt habitat maps: https://scoutandhunt.com/Support the showThis episode is brought to you by Upland Gun Company, Final Rise, and Irish Setter Boots.Upland Gun Company: https://uplandguncompany.com/Final Rise Shirt of the Month: https://finalrise.com/pages/upland-shirt-subscriptionIrish Setter Pheasants Forever Edition: https://irishsetterboots.com/pheasantsforeverJoin the Birdshot Podcast community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/birdshotQuestions for a future episode: nick@birdshotpodcast.comListen and followSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/17EVUDJPwR2iJggzhLYil7Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/birdshot-podcast/id1288308609YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@birdshot.podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/birdshot.podcast/Website: https://www.birdshotpodcast.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode 100 from April 1, 2022Over time, the chronic trauma of not being successful with reading wears down  many students. It has devastating effects. In our official 100th episode, Dr. Steven Dykstra discusses trauma and reading. He explains the connection between not being taught to read using evidence-based practices and the subsequent, unnecessary trauma this causes in children's lives. This is a pervasive problem happening everywhere. Dr. Steven Dykstra is a psychologist, advocate, and troublemaker in the reading world. His passion for reading comes from the recognition that the thousands of children he has served often pay the highest price for our failures and mistakes. Resources: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) NAEP Report Card: Reading Teaching Reading is Rocket Science by Louisa MoatsLooking for more literacy support and resources?

State religious liberty laws are the part of this fight almost nobody watches. Supreme Court cases get the headlines. The statutes that decide whether a baker, a nurse, a foster parent, or a congregation ever ends up in court at all sit quietly in fifty state codes, and most Christians have no idea what their own state has on the books.Paul Mueller, senior research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, co-authors Religious Liberty in the States, an annual index now in its fifth year. It scores every state on roughly fifty discrete protections grouped into twenty weighted safeguard categories. Not aspirational protections. Not vibes about whether a state feels Christian. What is actually enacted.The rankings scramble most assumptions people bring to the map, and they make three things clear: legislation beats litigation, the red and blue shorthand fails here, and the libertarian objection to religious exemptions deserves an answer.Chapters:0:22 Guest Intro and Background5:48 How the Index Works13:33 Libertarian Tensions in Law23:19 Why State Protections Matter28:16 Reading the State Rankings37:12 Why Most States Lag40:06 Measuring Real-World Impact44:52 Getting the Report Heard47:53 Closing Thoughts and Podcast PlugAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★

I chat about a recent boots event, why leopard print still has a place in my wardrobe, the importance of texture in both what we wear and how we style our homes, the things currently on my wish list and what I'm on the hunt for.

There is a type of children's book that we haven't talked much about here in twelve years of Read-Aloud Revival. But it's one that almost anyone who has spent time with babies knows well: board books.Board books are how so many of our kids meet stories and books for the first time. They're often the first books babies and littles are able to really get their hands (and mouths!) on, and experience touching the pictures and turning the pages for themselves. So today, we're going to do a bit of a deep dive on board books, and I couldn't think of a better person to join me for this than bestselling author and illustrator Tabitha Paige. Tabitha is a speech language pathologist as well as a creator of absolutely stunning board books, and in this episode she shares all about what they can do for our littlest readers as well as what to look for when choosing board books. In this episode, you'll hear: How board books create positive experiences that make kids want to come back to books again and againWhy realistic illustrations are an important tool for building vocabularyThe way the multi-sensory experience of physically interacting with a board book enhances learningLearn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/tabitha-paige

Prophecy and John the Baptist - The Gospel According to Matthew: Chapters 11 (2026) by Shawn Ozbun

Send us Fan MailWhen a book drops the "he said" and "she said", you can lose track of who's talking, and so can your listener. In this episode I go through how I prep a scene like that and how to make each character easy to follow without doing big voices. Then the two mistakes I hear most.(01:18) The problem. Some authors leave out the dialogue tags, sometimes on purpose. As the narrator you still have to know who's speaking, and it gets harder when there are more than two people in the scene.(03:09) Prep first. At the very least, read the chapter before you narrate it. Then mark the speakers, one highlighter colour per character, so you can see who's talking at a glance while you record. If you've done the prep and you're still not sure, ask the author. They'll be glad you did.(06:40) Your listener doesn't know either. Give each character a small, consistent difference in pitch, pace or attitude rather than a big voice, and anchor it on the first line they speak.(08:04) Reference files. I record a few lines of each character, or write notes on them, so I can listen back and find the voice again when they come back into the story.(08:46) The first common mistake is characters drifting into sounding the same, especially late in a scene. Check yourself against your reference files. Stop and re-listen when you need to.(11:00) The second is overacting to make up for it. Extreme pitch turns a real person into a caricature. Small touches do more, like a little more breath for one character or a slower pace for an older one.(14:59) Try this today. Take one page of dialogue and mark the speakers. Then record it without the tags. Listen back and check you can hear who's who from your performance alone.Post your read in the free Facebook group and I'll give you a note. https://www.facebook.com/groups/avosjourneyThere are over 1,600 free voice over scripts to practise with at https://www.avosjourney.com/scripts/?src=podcast and Academy Voices opens its new website on 1 October at https://academyvoices.comOur live classes are open to anyone during Free Class Week, 12 to 15 October. https://www.avosjourney.com/free-class-week-october-2026?src=podcastWhen you're ready to train with us, here's VO Journey Academy. https://www.avosjourney.com/join?src=podcastSupport the showSocial Links:   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/anthony_pica_vo/Twitter - https://twitter.com/AVOsJOURNEYFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/avosjourney/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonypicavo/

Trucking bought the AI,  Now SHOW ME THE DAMN MONEY! AI is recruiting drivers. Reading contracts. Building RFQs. Automating workflows. Booking freight. And every trucking-tech company suddenly has “AI” somewhere in the pitch. Cool....RIGHT? DOES ANY OF IT ACTUALLY MAKE THE CARRIER MONEY? On this episode of Brake Check, Charles skips the keynote buzzwords and puts trucking's AI boom to the test. First, Christy Choice from Tenstreet takes us inside the recruiting machine. Where should AI replace busywork? Where should a HUMAN still pick up the phone? Is lower driver turnover actually better retention, or are drivers simply staying put because the freight market has them trapped? And what are carriers already paying for that they barely use? Then FreightWaves truck-tech analyst Thomas Wasson joins us fresh off Trimble Insight 2026 in San Diego. We're digging into AI agents, TMS automation, recruiting technology, driver tools and what real carriers like Alvis and Spartan are actually doing with this technology after the demo ends. Forget “efficiency.” HOW MUCH MONEY DID IT SAVE? Forget “automation.” WHAT WORK DISAPPEARED? Forget “AI-powered.” PROVE IT.... Because with diesel around $6.38 a gallon and margins already getting squeezed, carriers don't need another expensive screensaver with a monthly subscription. They need technology that EARNS ITS DAMN KEEP. SOUND OFF: What's one job inside a trucking company you would happily hand to AI TOMORROW...and what's one job you would NEVER let it touch? #Trucking #AI #FreightTech #TruckDrivers #TruckingIndustry #Tenstreet #TMS #Automation #Logistics #FleetManagement #BrakeCheck ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

He had it all. He had a suit and tie and an office on the 15th floor of the most recognizable building in Rochester, New York. Inside, though, Ben Albert was quietly miserable. Then the pandemic hit, and overnight he was laid off, broke, and officially "non-essential."In this raw and generous conversation, Ben takes us backstage to the months when he was lost. He talks about binge drinking, losing his father, his mother's illness, and doing morning affirmations with a twitching eye after a night with an empty bottle of whiskey. From that low point, he discovered a powerful idea: disintegration. He didn't need more habits. He needed to remove the ones muting his best self.Ben shares how a podcast called Rochester Business Connections turned into peers, mentors, and clients all at once. He also explains how he now guides podcasters to treat their show like a media business.In this episode, you'll discover:Why "shedding" is a necessary act before you rebuildDisintegration vs. integration: why removing bad habits can matter more than adding good onesThe 15-minute rule, about 1% of your day, and how small cuts compound into big changeHal Elrod's SAVERS morning routine (Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, Scribing)The LinkedIn alumni strategy Ben used to land guests and build a business network from scratchWhy a podcast guest can be a peer, a local connection, a mentor, and a potential clientBuilding a Brand Bible: your "category of one," contrarian viewpoints, and contradictory valuesCase study: how the Rebel Roots podcast found its true audienceConnect with Ben Albert:

Many of us enter the water hoping to encounter sharks and rays, and maybe even get some prize images of our own – but how can we do it with as little impact on the animal as possible? In this episode, we discuss how to share the water with sharks safely, ethically and responsibly with wildlife photographer and filmmaker Luke Saddler, who has spent countless hours observing sharks in their environment and capturing their natural behaviours.

Bobbie Burnham, The Assistant Commissioner for the Office of Teaching and Learning, Bobbie oversees the divisions of Early Learning Services; Academic Standards, Instruction and Assessment; and Libraries and Out-of-School Time at the Minnesota Department of Education, talked with Vineeta about Test Scores and more on the WCCO Morning News.

THE LETTER WE ARE STILL READING Colossians 4:16 16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea. Paul wrote to the believers in Colossae, but he knew the letter would not remain with them alone. He asked that it be read in another church as well. Words written for one group of people would strengthen others who needed to hear them. That makes me think about the value of writing down what God has taught us along the way. I don't mean that our journals are Scripture. I mean that our lives hold stories worth remembering: prayers we prayed when we didn't know what to do, verses that carried us through a difficult year, moments when God provided, and lessons we learned only after looking back and seeing God's Hand leading us. If we never record those things, some of the details will fade with time.

Michelle Barone has been waiting two years for this Armenian coffee reading — and the cup wastes no time going straight to the one disappointment she still hasn't completely shaken. What begins with the aftermath of a major reality-TV opportunity quickly becomes something much bigger. Pol' Atteu sees that what Michelle thought was a destination may actually have been an introduction — putting her in front of the right people and preparing her for a completely different chapter. Then the cup points toward something Michelle hasn't acted on yet: a passion project close to her heart, one important person she already knows she needs to contact, and a phone call she's been hesitating to make. Pol' gives her one instruction: stop waiting and make the call.But that's only the beginning. As the reading unfolds, Michelle opens up about the childhood experience that shaped her relentless optimism, the life she and her husband built together, and why she wants her next chapter to be driven by purpose instead of simply checking the right business boxes. The cup suggests that the opportunity with the biggest payoff may be the one she least expects — and the one that means the most personally.Then the reading becomes much more emotional when Michelle asks about her mother, Josephine. What appears in the cup leaves the room stunned — and after Michelle places her thumb at the bottom, an unmistakable letter seems to emerge in the grounds. Is it Josephine? A message? A sign connected to what Michelle is navigating with her mother? Michelle gets chills as the reading suddenly connects career, family, timing and the importance of being present for this chapter of her life. And there's one more mystery: Pol' sees something in Michelle's office that needs to be removed before she can fully “bridge the gap” into what's next. Michelle doesn't immediately know what it is — but Pol' tells her she'll recognize it when she sees it. A phone call. A passion project. Something that has to leave. A bridge into a new chapter. And a “J” sitting unmistakably at the bottom of the cup.Michelle Barone came looking for answers. What she gets may be the push she's been waiting for.

Is It Wrong to Read Your Bible Out of Habit? Religion vs. Relationship With GodSeason 5, Episode 4 | Faith, Spirituality & Religiosity Series (2 of 6)Have you ever skipped your Bible reading or meditation and spent the rest of the day waiting for something to go wrong? Or maybe you're not sure about God at all, and the reason has more to do with a person than with God. In part two of the faith series, Julie explores what it means to know God secondhand, through a habit, a feeling, or someone else's story, and walks through Recognition and Release using her own story, from a fourth-grade devotional to raising her own kids.Is it wrong to read my Bible out of habit?No. Habits aren't the problem. The question is what the habit is doing for you. If it's how you stay close to God, that's relationship. If it's how you stay safe from God, or prove something to the people around you, that's religiosity dressed up as relationship.Why do I feel so resistant to God?Sometimes it's because of something God did. But often, if we're honest, it's because of something a person did, or something we heard happened to someone else. The anger may be completely right. The question is whether it's aimed at the right one.How can I tell if my faith practice is religion or relationship?Notice what you feel when you miss it. If it feels like you broke a rule, that's religiosity. If it feels like you miss Him, that's relationship. A second test comes from Matthew 6: would you still do it if no one ever knew?Key takeaways from this episode:A spiritual practice is only as healthy as the reason behind it. Reading your Bible, meditating, or going to church isn't the problem. What matters is whether you're doing it to be close to God or to stay safe from Him.You can know God secondhand in three ways. Through the doing (religiosity), through the feeling (spirituality), and through hearsay (someone else's story). None of them is the same as knowing Him yourself.Your practice may be driven by more than one motive. Finish the sentence "I read my Bible because..." Is it to stay safe, to belong, to be right, to feel covered, or to be with Him? Most people find a mix, and noticing it is the first step, not a verdict.What you feel when you miss it tells you what's driving it. "I broke a rule" points to religiosity. "I miss Him" points to relationship. And if you'd stop the practice once no one could see it, that's worth noticing too.Long relationships drift quietly, including with God. Drift hides inside routine, so showing up isn't the same as connecting.We often judge God on gossip. Many beliefs about God come from what a person did, what happened to someone we love, or what we absorbed in childhood. Knowing the stories isn't the same as knowing Him.Your anger may be right, and still be aimed at the wrong one. Holding people accountable for harm done in God's name is different from holding God responsible for it.Release doesn't mean giving up your practice or your discernment. You can set down the fear-based contract and keep the reading. You can set down a secondhand verdict and still stay wise about what hurt you.Scripture referencedMatthew 6:5-6 (NLT)Proverbs 4:23 (NLT and The Message)Reflection question for the weekIs what I believe about God something I've experienced, or something I've heard?Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→  One link to all things → Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you→ Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Books to read  (Tidy categories on Amazon- I've read/listened to each recommended title.)

As a fairly constant reader for the last few decades, I sometimes forget how challenging reading can be. But then I get into, for example, a dense thirty page research write-up about the study of how different factors affect relationships between kindergarten teachers and kindergarten moms in Finland, and I remember. Reading can be so hard. So how can you make it easier for your students, as they dive into the books you share? Well, one option is to share explicit strategies they can plug into along the way. Penny Kittle does such a beautiful job of demonstrating the way she does this in her book, Book Love, and in the reading conference videos she and Kelly Gallagher share alongside their book, 180 Days. Another go-to source on this for me is Shea Kerkhoff, whose recent book, Adolescent Literacy: Integrating the Sciences of Reading and Writing in Grades 4-12, is full of strategies teachers can pull out to help students who struggle with comprehension. But how and when do you tap these strategies, especially considering some kids will really need them and others will find their mere mention a waste of time? Today on the pod, we'll talk about six reading strategies that can help students understand what they're reading, plus how to introduce them, ways to spiral back, and options for keeping them in mind for individual kids. Note, we won't be talking about what you, as a teacher, can do to make comprehension easier (like building background knowledge in advance, or providing key vocabulary up front). Nope, today is about the strategies kids can implement on their own, and how to make it easier for them to tap those strategies.

"When you're talking about human interaction, which is what art is at its very nature, it absolutely does matter if there's someone on the other end of it." Reading by Tim Foley.

On December 16, 1944, as American troops retreated or fled before advancing German soldiers on the first day of what is now known as the Battle of the Bulge, Lieutenant Colonel Ray Love Trautman found himself leading an ad hoc formation of stragglers and stranded soldiers. This might not seem strange—that's a lieutenant colonel's job, isn't it? But while Ray Trautman had the rank of a lieutenant colonel, his training was that of a librarian. He was, to be sure, the Army's chief librarian, but that was hardly preparation for combat.This is just one of the many amazing revelations in Molly Guptill Manning's new book, A Librarian's War: The Man Who Fought World War II with Books and Brought the Joy of Reading to Millions. She tells the story of how Trautman, having earned a degree in library science at Columbia, joined the Army, created the largest library system in the world, and championed the Armed Services Editions of books and magazines.This is not simply a biography of Trautman. It is also a history of the Second World War as a war of ideas, of intellectual life under some of the most difficult imaginable circumstances, and—maybe—of the future of reading.Molly Guptill Manning is a historian, curator, and professor of law at New York Law School. Her scholarship examines legal history and the intersection of law and culture, with particular interests in freedom of expression, censorship, voting rights, and access to books.

The Minnesota Department of Education has released the results of this year's Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments. Fewer than half of students statewide who were tested met math and reading standards. MPR News education reporter Elizabeth Shockman joined Minnesota Now to explain. Then, MPR News host Nina Moini talked with MDE Assistant Commissioner Bobbie Burnham about the test results as well as changing literacy standards and curriculum in the state.
