Outside my window is a large green birdfeeder, which I hung two years ago. My big club chair, where I sit each morning to do my devotions, is situated across the room perfectly positioned to watch the birds come and go. I’ve learned a few things about the birds during this time. They don’t like economy blend birdseed, they knock half of it out onto the ground where chipmunks act as a cleanup crew. On the other hand, they are great fans of the black oil sunflower seeds, and so I’ve given up trying to reform them to my budget-friendly ways and purchased a 40-pound bag of sunflower seeds. For the longest time, the birds were only known to me...
Think of all the content you create — the good, the bad, and the ones that take a scary amount of time. Now think of how you organize it. How do you keep track of how content is performing? Do you use those metrics to improve for future campaigns? If not, you could be, with the help of content audits. Content audits keep track of your content, including blog posts, social media posts, events, and web pages, and provide analysis for how they impact audience. Additionally, they can provide insights into how to improve underperforming content, so you know how to properly update your posts for higher conversion rates. If you're missing this kind of organization for your company, consider...
So you might be wondering “why are you writing an article about the word ‘hero’ in Spanish?” (In case you were wondering, the word “hero” in Spanish is héroe. But that’s not the full story, more on that in a moment). Here’s the thing. I’m known to be a bit nerdy. You may have seen some of my cosplays on Instagram or followed my Twitter musings about the latest in superhero cinema. I’ve also taken time to learn Klingon for the Star Trek convention I went to. So I was thinking: “why not turn my nerdy side into a source for Spanish learning?” After all, finding native resources you enjoy is key to sticking with a language. You could explore...
This story has been produced in partnership with the maker of Enfamil, and the award-winning Enspire, the only formula with immune-supporting Lactoferrin added as an ingredient. ADVERTISEMENT Some people are built for the night. It’s science: A night owl’s circadian rhythms are such that they thrive when the sun goes down and are humming along at midnight. Still, genetic predisposition won’t help you when you have a newborn waking up at 2 a.m. Indeed, infants level the playing field for morning people and night owls. Whether you’re raring to go or ripped out of sleep, dealing with a fussy, unhappy, and likely hungry child in the middle of the night takes practice. It takes discipline. It takes a trained eye...
In my state, we have two English tests that are practically the same. One is the North Carolina Final Exam (formerly called the MSL, formerly called the Common Exam) for freshmen, juniors, and seniors. The other is the End of Course for sophomores.They are quite horrid tests, as I am sure you can relate to in whatever state you are in. It is more of a test of a student's ability to stay focused for two to three hours rather than an accurate measure of a student's reading comprehension.I have two daily reading comprehension blogs for you. While one is labeled for the NCFE and the other for the EOC, they have the same type of questions and will fit...
