call me an ignorant, but I don’t understand how it’s possible that the methodology of research became a separate scientific field
Join me and The GU272 Descendants Association on Zoom on Saturday, 15 November 2025 at 11AM Eastern for the second episode of our Fall Genealogy Lecture Series. With me as your host, our guest speakers, Meaghan Alston, Sarah Carrier, and Nancy Kaiser of the Louis Round Wilson Special Collections Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will present “Family History Research in Records of Enslavement” at Wilson Library, a panel discussion of the enslaved genealogy research resources available within one of the nation’s most unique repositories.

I had hoped to publish another Beake-related account this week, but circumstances have conspired against me. Part of the reason is I am now much-more disciplined in the amount of work I do before beginning the actual writing. Let me explain.
In times past, I’d write a post, including sources, but without adding details to my Family Historian (FH) database. Ancestry is my testing tree to which I…

As mentioned in this post, the 30 species contained in the tournament represent a selection of the 48 species of native North American birds in the order Anseriformes (ducks, geese, and swans), according to the National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America, 7th edition. To pick the species for this tournament, I looked back at how species had performed in my 4 previous tournaments. I looked at how many rounds of voting they had survived (survival through a round of voting means they won that round or tied with their opponent) and took an average across all 4 tournaments. To be included in this poll, a species must have had an average survival of at most 1 round and additionally must never have finished in the top 4 of any of the previous tournaments.
In order to produce brackets that would work out well and not result in early match-ups of (relatively) popular species, I seeded the species according to 5 popularity metrics: the number of google search results for the common name, the number of tumblr posts in the species’ tag over the past week, days since the last tumblr post in the species’ tag, number of unique visual features (interesting colouration, distinctive markings, etc.), the average number of rounds survived in previous tournaments, and the highest round they have ever reached in previous tournaments (a species may reach round 3 having only survived 1 round of voting if it had a high seed and only entered in round 2, which is why both of these metrics were considered). I then developed a formula that used the metrics to produce a score for each species where the higher the score, the greater the prospective popularity. I manually checked the ranking of species to see if the order looked reasonable (with relatively popular or common species at the top, and less common or popular species at the bottom), in order to verify that my scoring system was performing as expected. The bird with the highest score became the first seed, the second highest became the second seed, and so on, for all 30 species.
The seed positions are as follows:

A) Many scholars and historians believe that Socrates was, in a sense, ‘set up’ - though not necessarily through a conspiracy in the modern sense. His trial and execution in 399 BCE were the result of complex political, social, and philosophical tensions in Athens at the time.
Here’s a breakdown of the context:
Socrates was accused of:
These charges were vague and symbolic,
likely masking deeper anxieties about his influence.
So while there’s no evidence of a secret plot, Socrates was certainly targeted as a symbolic figure - his death served as a kind of political and cultural purge. Plato’s dialogues suggest that the trial was more about silencing a disruptive voice than enforcing justice.
The first step in my data collection process is writing out my data collection method to make sure I understand how to do it and don’t have to redo it later. As I began writing out the steps, I had questions about the data collection process. The first question was about scope, should I collect the individual comments? I couldn’t find any clear answers in the text, which is usually a good sign that maybe it’s not necessary. However, we are doing an audience analysis and that may make the data important. Based on the conclusion in the Capriotti article, Universities have room to grow in identifying the best kind of information to include in their content strategy to increase engagement and they should do more to analyze the audience and the discourse community to create content that is more appealing to them. With that in mind, it may be useful to collect individual comments from the posts.
The second question I had was about the method of collection. I am probably overthinking this, but I want to make sure my intended method of taking snapshots of the posts and comments on my phone would be acceptable.
I took advantage of the Thursday Check in post to ask these questions of Dr. P. I’ll collect them anyway, just to be on the safe side until I hear back from her.
With those questions asked and assuming the answer to my questions is yes, I will start by selecting a time frame to collect the posts from Instagram. Earlier this week, I selected the English and World Languages Instagram account for this project. I selected it because out of the two Meta socials, I prefer Instagram over Facebook.
The time frame I have chosen is the first 10 consecutive posts of the Fall 2025 semester. That gives enough time for the data to be historical and close enough that I don’t have to worry about scrolling back too far. I will record the time I navigate to the ENWL account through the app on my phone, take a screenshot of the account with details on follower count, bio information, etc. Then I’ll find the first post of the 2025 Fall semester and take screenshots of each post and all publicly available data, including comments. I will then use the information from the last screenshot to record the end time of my data collection.
I will then code the data for the number of likes, shares, comments into a data chart and make notes as necessary.
That’s my process! Please let me know if you see any holes in my methodology!

I differentiate between “prayer” and “petition” in my practice.
Prayer is done with the expectation that the Person will help you, bless you, etc. out of the goodness of their heart. Petitioning is an explicitly magical act: you’re compensating the Person for their time with offerings (candles, incense, etc.)
I used to have a real aversion to prayer, but I’ve been talking to a certain saint recently and he said something that made me completely flip my stance on things. He said that prayer doesn’t have to be from a place of subservience. It can just be talking to a friend and asking them to do a favor for you. That’s kind of the point of my brand of witchcraft: the spirits are your equal in most cases.
Anyway, I tried a couple test prayers, and I have to say it’s not as bad as my brain was making it out to be. It’s kind of nice to be able to leave it all on the table.

Final 12 months, ESPN sought to look at the life outcomes of NFL gamers who are actually nearing retirement age and partnered with impartial health-policy analysis, polling and information group KFF to survey practically 550 gamers from the 1988 season. The ESPN/KFF Survey of 1988 NFL Gamers included questions on their bodily and psychological well being, their funds and…
Ahh thank you for taking the time to send feedback! :)
We have an FAQ for that. Basically, words/terms are added to and removed from checkbox lists based on statistics only. For this reason, if you identify with the term “intersex” for your gender, or anything else that doesn’t have a checkbox, please type it into the textboxes. It is really important, and those words are counted.
The checkboxes don’t do anything except make data processing easier. Checkboxes ensure that everyone who identifies with a particular term enters it the same way, which makes counting them easier. However, provided and visible options are always more likely to be chosen than invisible ones you have to type in! So the checkbox selection method takes that into account as well.

10 Ways to Introduce International Mindedness Into Your Classroom
International mindedness is more than learning about other countries; it’s about nurturing empathy, curiosity, and respect for diverse perspectives. By weaving simple strategies into your daily teaching—like exploring global literature, connecting with classrooms abroad, or celebrating cultural traditions—you help students see themselves as part of a wider world. These small but intentional actions can transform your classroom into a place where diversity is celebrated and global citizenship thrives.
