Send us a textIn this episode, Stacey explores the "Ready, Do, Done" model by Sarah Ward and Kristen Jacobsen to help students with executive functioning challenges become confident writers. She discusses the importance of setting clear intentions and gathering necessary materials ("Ready"), breaking down tasks and using visual aids ("Do"), and celebrating accomplishments to boost confidence ("Done"). Practical tips for teachers are provided to support students in the writing workshop. The model's flexibility and potential to empower learners in all areas are highlighted. This episode builds on a previous discussion about task initiation and is part of a series on executive functioning in writing instruction.*****Thanks to our sponsor!Speakable is being incredibly generous to listeners of the Two Writing Teachers Podcast.

Fr. Kirby addresses the topic of detraction, highlighting it as a form of harmful gossip where true but unflattering details about someone are unnecessarily shared.—Morning Offering with Fr. Kirby, July 18, 2024—————————Every morning, join Father Jeffrey Kirby as he begins the day with prayer and reflection. In a few short minutes, Father Kirby guides you in prayer, shares a brief reflection grounding your day in the Church's rhythm of feast days and liturgy, and provides you with the encouragement necessary to go forward with peace and strength. Let us do as the saints urge and begin our days in prayer together so as a community of believers we may join the Psalmist in saying, “In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.” (Psalm 5:3-4)

Tim Maudlin is a philosopher of science specializing in the foundations of physics, metaphysics, and logic. He is a professor at New York University, a member of the Foundational Questions Institute, and the founder and director of the John Bell Institute for the Foundations of Physics. Patreon (bonus materials + video chat): https://www.patreon.com/timothynguyen In this very in-depth discussion, Tim and I probe the foundations of science through the avenues of locality and determinism as arising from the Einstein-Poldosky-Rosen (EPR) paradox and Bell's Theorem. These issues are so intricate that even the Nobel Prize committee incorrectly described the significance of Bell's work in their press release for the 2022 prize in physics. Viewers motivated enough to think deeply about these ideas will be rewarded with a conceptually proper understanding of the nonlocal nature of physics and its manifestation in quantum theory. I.

Alina Ghost with Jason Barnard at BrightonSEO April 2019 Alina Ghost talks with Jason Barnard (The Brand SERP Guy) about content creation for voice. We discuss Alina's name, Alina Ghost, and how much we both learn from our respective podcasts before getting down to the nitty gritty. Content and strategy for voice search. Voice search saves time and time is our currency. Brilliant. Dan Shure suggests is a fan of providing multiple formats for content so that you have the right format at the right time for users. Text and audio, perhaps video… then I get predictably overexcited by Dan Shure's name. Speakable content, accessibility (where I do a terrible Simon Cox impersonation), images, then APIs (companies will need to develop them to feed these devices). Lastly, we swerve into push notifications, specifically on voice. Warning – I talk too much in this episode. Poor Alina is very polite about it.

Detlef Dürr (LMU) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (23 January, 2013) titled "Bohmian Mechanics, speakable quantum physics". Abstract: I introduce Bohmian Mechanics, which is a theory of particles in motion. The law of motion is not classical, i.e. the particles do not move on Newtonian trajectories. As this is often not appreciated I shall discuss some features which will help to sharpen one's intuition about this theory of nature.

We are a few short days away from 2019. Some things change and some things stay the same in the seo landscape, but with changing times, you need to prioritize your focus. You need to be aware of what to focus on based on the climate. Things like algorithm changes, device prioritization, and machine learning are just a few. I would like to get into five specific things you should be aware of and focus on in the new year. Mobile Site Compliant to Mobile Standards With mobile first indexing pretty much the norm, and increasing numbers of search traffic coming from mobile, you need to make sure your mobile experience is compliant to mobile search standards from a design and development standpoint. Run your site to see where it stands with the Google Page Speed Insights tool. Be mindful of what shows up on mobile vs desktop. Some of the suggestions that come back you may not be in control of, but things like caching issues, code issues, and element spacing you should be able to fix right away. RankBrain Getting Smarter and Smarter All of Google’s searches go through RankBrain which is part of the core algorithm. The RankBrain AI will continue to understand the intent of searches and deliver more relevant results. Make sure your content has the correct intent you desire to drive. To be safe, employ a content strategy the focuses on covering all intent types and focuses on semantic search components. Don’t Neglect Structured Data Markup Structured data is used for many purposes by search engines, like enhancing your results in search engine result pages, and highlighting information to search engines. New markup is created over time and helps you stay current with advancements like voice search. In 2018 new schema.org markup was created for voice search. Schema.org and Google came up with a markup called Speakable. The markup lets Google’s Assistant to verbally answer marked content by converting text to speech. People like editors can use this structured data to specify which content they think is adequate to read out loud. Speakable began to be tested for US Google News. When a user asks Google Assistant anything related to news like, ” tell me the news about seo”, it searches web results and looks for marked up content that is relevant, and reads out loud the news article that is relevant and the news source. Google Assistant also sends that article source and two additional sources on the specified topic to the searchers sell phone. If you are providing fast accurate answers to questions on your website insure using structured data to further the reach and effectiveness of your content. Video Optimization Voice isn’t the only delivery vehicle taking the internet over, video continues to hold it’s importance. Video traffic will continue to grow. Make sure your videos are transcribed as well as marked up with structured data if they are included on your website. Optimize your YouTube channel as well as test different video formats including short form. Blockchain for SEO With all the buzz about blockchain and its uses, it is safe to say the seo industry will be thrown in the mix as adapters. There are many uses we would love to roll out, but one practical use that would hold value is use in backlink validation. Backlinks aren’t going away any time soon. As a seo pillar since the beginning, backlinks are still one of the best ways to correlate authority. Regardless of how blockchain will be used in seo, we will soon see usage coming in 2019. Regardless of what you are focusing on, you need a core foundation of sound code, mobile friendliness, intent specific content that adds value to the user, a strong natural backlink profile, and several other things if you are looking to succeed in seo now and in the future regardless of the changes. If you have any questions about seo or any other form of digital marketing, I’m always glad to help. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Nat Lauzon has been a mainstay on Montreal radio for almost 20 years. Her career path has moved in somewhat tidy cycles, spending her teen years working on air in her hometown of Timmins, Ontario while in high school. Then she worked at Toronto's Mix 99.9 while she was finishing her degree at Ryerson Polytechnic. In 1999, she jumped at the opportunity to move to Montreal to with Blair Bartrem at Mix 96. She did mornings up until 2002 and then took over the midday show and was pretty much number 1 in the city for the rest of the decade. We also sounded like a retired couple talking about aches and pains and coping with what ails us. Although I didn't mention it in the show, I have some Tinnitus or some hearing loss as a result of a combination of skeet shooting, headphones, and rock concerts. Nat also has been coping with Vertigo and has posted some eye raising stuff. Some of the stories Nat and I touch on in this episode can be found in the show I did with Blair Bartrem in Episode 75. ​​You can hear Nat weekends on Montreal's 92.5 the BEAT.Nat also has a voiceover company called Speakable and she is the voice of a number of TV ads, on hold systems, corporate ads, and often when you are on hold. She readily admits she records her first voice sessions of the day in her jammies, but she eventually gets dressed to walk the dogs.

Episode 52 of The Redirect Podcast: It's not that your keyword research method is broken, it's that you might not be grouping phrases according to searcher intent. Insights on keyword clustering and how you can build out better themes for your content. In the world of social media, Facebook's stock took a tumble, and we question if they're finally “paying” for that 2016 data snafu? If you are a news or media publisher looking to win at the voice search game, there's a new schema you need to pay attention to: Speakable. Plus, Google updated its Search Quality Rater Guidelines, and we broke it down into bite-sized chunks. Show notes at https://blacktruckmedia.com/podcast/redirect-podcast-episode-52/

In today’s podcast, I’d like to introduce a new segement called Speakable. Think of speakable as Audiobook for content be it articles or blog posts that relate to the Art, Science, or History of Neon and Plasma. This was largely inspired by my love for audio books, and the podcast Optimal Living Daily Podcast that is centered around narration of articles and blog posts, with given permissions. So I thought I’d give it a shot to help fill in the gaps when interviews and discussions are being scheduled. To be able to give life to content that I can bring to you. Let me know in the comments or by email your thoughts on continuing this, suggested material are welcome. In our first Speakable I’ll be reading “A Blaze of Crimson Light: The Story of Neon” by Jane E. Boyd and Joseph Rucker. An article relating to a brief history and science of neon in terms of it’s discovery, uses, and it’s associations with Sign making and advertising.  Before I begin I want to talk about the organization behind the source material, The Chemical Heritage Foundation, which is a library, a center for scholars, a museum, and archive. They focus on matter and materials and their effects on our modern world. They collect, preserve, and exhibit historical artifacts; engage communities of scientists and engineers; and tell the stories of the people behind breakthroughs and innovations. Distillations is a blog, podcast, and magazine, centered around Science, Culture, and History, where you’ll find a diverse range of subjects such as science, Business, Technology, and Pop Culture.  Please check it out  at chemheritage.org in the link listed in the blog post.   Intro Music: Boost by Joakim Karud www.joakimkarud.com https://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud   Outro Music: Re-Entry by Lapse https://soundcloud.com/lapse   Check www.taminglightning.net for the full post! Thank You for listening to the Taming Lightning Podcast. I hope you enjoyed the first segment of Speakable. If you find something interesting that you would like to have narrated, please send me an email or fb message at Taming Lightning. I’d like to thank Michal Meyer, the Editor in Chief of Distillations at Chemical Heritage Foundation  for permission to narrate their article from their Magazine. Also I’d like to thank Pittsburgh Glass Center for supporting me as well as encouraging me to pursue this project, as well as the Plasma Art Alliance where I have access to the well of knowledge, and connects to some amazing people. Keep an eye out for next summer’s classes at Pittsburgh Glass Center as we work to provide a space for learning neon and plasma. If you like to support this, simply go to percyechols.com and look for the tab “Taming Lighting” or by typing in taminglightning.net, and click subscribe, later there will probably be other options in the future, but for now like, share, comment, and subscribe.
