Deconstructing Empire: The Great British Fantasy?
by Poet in the City
Fri, 6 December 2019
Wren Suite, St. Paul's Cathedral
St Paul's Churchyard
How colonial nostalgia shapes what it means to be British in the age of Brexit.
Deconstructing Empire: The Great British Fantasy? will explore the colonial nostalgia that has crept into so much of our contemporary debate, from Brexit, to border control, to the imminent General Election. This persistent yearning to return to a time when Britain was leading the world has found itself driving a divided nation in crisis, with whitewashed memories of Britain's imperial legacy distorting the public view on what it means to be British today.
Seminal British poet and artist William Blake's poem-turned-hymn Jerusalem has often been held up as a symbol of Britain's colonial ambitions, with his portrayal of a "green & pleasant Land" painting an idyllic view of a nation at peace. But did this time ever exist, and could it ever be returned to today?
Join Poet in the City Producers in the Wren Suite at St Paul's as we excavate these cultural narratives and reclaim and redefine our own identities at the heart of this British landmark, featuring poetry performance from Imtiaz Dharker, and performance and discussion with bassoonist Linton Wesley Stephens and poet Anthony Anaxagorou.
Imtiaz Dharker is a poet, artist and documentary film-maker. Awarded the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry in 2014, recipient of the Cholmondley Award and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, her collections include Purdah (Oxford University Press), Postcards from god, I speak for the devil and The terrorist at my table (all published by Penguin India and Bloodaxe Books UK), Leaving Fingerprints and Over the Moon (Bloodaxe Books UK). Her poems are on the British GCSE and A Level English syllabus, and she reads with other poets at Poetry Live! events all over the country to more than 25,000 students a year. She has been Poet in Residence at Cambridge University Library, for Thresholds, and has recently completed a series of poems based on the Archives of St Paul's Cathedral. She has had ten solo exhibitions of drawings in India, London, New York and Hong Kong. She scripts and directs films, many of them for non-government organisations in India, working in the area of shelter, education and health for women and children.
Anthony Anaxagorou is a British-born Cypriot poet, fiction writer, essayist, publisher and poetry educator. His poetry has been published in POETRY, The Poetry Review, Poetry London, Granta, Ambit, The Adroit Journal and The Rialto. His work has appeared on BBC Newsnight, BBC Radio 4, ITV, Vice UK, Channel 4 and Sky Arts. His second collection After the Formalities published by Penned in the Margins is a Poetry Book Society Recommendation alongside being selected as one of The Telegraph's best poetry books of 2019. Most recently it was shortlisted for the 2019 T.S Eliot Prize. He was awarded the 2019 H-100 Award for writing and publishing, and the 2015 Groucho Maverick Award for his poetry and fiction. In 2019 he was made an honorary fellow of the University of Roehampton. Anthony is artistic director of Out-Spoken, a monthly poetry and music night held at London's Southbank Centre, and publisher of Out-Spoken Press.
Linton Wesley Stephens was born in Chester and grew up on the Wirral. He began playing the Bassoon at the age of 16. He is the sub-principal bassoon with Chineke! Orchestra with whom he has performed at the proms and Wigmore hall. He also enjoys varied freelance career. Recent appearances include BBC Philharmonic, Hallé Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Clonter Opera, Opera North, European Opera Centre, Northern Chamber Orchestra, English National Ballet, and the South Pacific tour. A passionate advocate for music education and equality within the industry; he regularly runs workshops and coaches ensembles for young musicians throughout the country as well holding a seat on the board for the Musicians Union equality committee.

Members of The Second Mile Club play a game of Mahjong at the Kensington Gardens Recreation Centre.
It's 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning when Carolina Marin pulls into The Second Mile Club in her 'limousine', a recently acquired motorized scooter. "I'm the newspaper lady," she says cheerfully depositing a bundle of papers on the nearby table, "I bring it every day."
Watching the warm greeting between Carolina and Matt Langdon, the Branch's Program Coordinator at Kensington Gardens, it's evident that she feels at home here. Carolina has been a member at The Club for 16 years, and actively participates in caricature drawing, crocheting, knitting, computer classes and Mahjong. Like clockwork, Carolina visits every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
On Wednesdays she has in-home support provided through The Club's Community Support Services and Community Care Access Centre. They help her with cleaning and household tasks.
Emigrating from Romania in 1977, Carolina worked hard to learn English. After she retired, she noticed her and her husband were speaking to each other largely in their native Romanian. Feeling her language skills were suffering, Carolina was motivated to find opportunities to maintain her English, socialize and meet new people.
As luck would have it, a resident in Carolina's apartment building attended The Second Mile Club's Day Program at 192 Carlton St., and introduced her to The Club's programing, which includes activities offered at five senior recreation centres, congregate dining, and community and caregiver support services.
After her husband passed away, Carolina felt it was especially important that she continue to stay involved with The Club. She notes that it would be easy for her to stay at home with her black cat Sheena, but the change of scenery and the social support are very helpful. The Second Mile Club allows Carolina to maintain the independence she values, while being an active member of a supportive community.
"I feel like I belong here," Carolina says with a smile, "Everybody is nice."


CAESAREA, Israel--(Healthcare Sales & Marketing Network)--V-Wave Ltd, maker of an investigational interatrial shunt device for patients with advanced heart failure (HF), announced today the results of its first human implants were published in The Lancet. The study, performed at the Quebec Heart and Lung Institute, Laval University, Quebec, Canada, was led by structural heart disease expert, Josep Rodés-Cabau, MD. The first 10 consecutive patients had Class III symptoms despite being treated with maximally tolerated HF medications and had poor left ventricular function. All were successfully implanted with the shunt during a minimally invasive procedure that took generally less than one hour, and were discharged home the next morning. There were no device-related adverse effects. After three months, patients had significant improvements in symptoms, exercise capacity and quality-of-life assessments. Catheter measurements showed lowering of left atrial pressure without deterioration of right heart function. These findings are consistent with the shunt diverting just the right amount of blood from the left-side to the right-side of the heart.


Just about every home has a few vulnerable areas that criminals may take advantage of to commit a burglary. Some examples of such weaknesses include ladders left outside of the home, untrimmed bushes, spare keys hidden outside, and trees that are close to windows on the second floor. While homeowners can take a few steps to eliminate these vulnerabilities, it is very difficult to get rid of every single weakness. Fortunately, there are many products on the market that can help homeowners increase their home security. One example of such a product is the Canary Flex.
What Is the Canary Flex?
Canary is an all-in-one indoor security camera. This indoor camera has been rated highly by many reviewers, and for good reason. Not only does the it have great specs, but it is also very effective and durable. However, more and more homeowners are installing security cameras in their yards and porches and not just inside their house. In response to the success of this indoor camera and the increasing demand for outdoor security cameras, Camera has opted to release the Canary Flex, which is a security camera intended for the outdoors. Its not hard to see the benefits after reading a canary review.
Waterproof – Of course, any camera intended for the outdoors will need to be waterproof. Fortunately, the Canary Flex cannot be deterred by rainfall. While a waterproof camera may not be entirely necessary in drier climates, it is an absolute must in humid and wet climates.
Powered by Batteries and Outlets – Another advantage of the Canary Flex is that it can be powered by batteries or plugged into an outlet. If you'd rather not have to spend money on batteries on a regular basis, you are better off plugging the security camera into an outlet. However, if you want to place the Canary Flex in areas that don't have an outlet, you can simply use batteries. The Canary Flex can remain plugged in while wet.
Unfortunately, the Canary Flex does have a few deficits. Unlike, the original Canary, the Canary Flex does not have any sensors. The Canary also doesn't have home health sensors, which were responsible for relaying feedback about the house in the original Canary. Some examples of such feedback include air quality, temperature, and humidity.
The Canary Flex costs $199 on the market. However, customers have to pay more to store their footage. Fortunately, Canary released a new pricing model that is pleasing many homeowners. Canary allows customers to access the last 24 hours of footage for free instead of just 12 hours like before.
Undoubtedly, many homeowners are impressed by the Canary Flex. If you want to ensure your home's security both inside and outside the home, you should consider buying the Canary Flex to accompany your Canary.

The Stats Machine, Week 16: Nine Inch Kniles
December 20, 2014	| 2014 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Buy/Sell	| 6 Comments
by: malamoney
Last week, Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins attempted to put himself on the same pedestal as Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder in an interview on The Howard Stern Show. Say whaaaat! While I do appreciate a lot of the music he put out in the 90's, and consider Siamese Dream to be a masterpiece of sound, you Billy Corgan are not quite at the level of those two legends. Pearl Jam and Nirvana are in a class of their own.
This conversation however did leave us with a burning question. Who is the most influential musician of the 90s? The answer is obvious. Trent Reznor. The brilliantly warped genius that combined music, lyrics, love, hate and angst to give us Nine Inch Nails. Reznor is a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and innovator in the music industry. In 1997 he appeared in Time magazine's list of most influential people and Spin magazine called him "the most vital artist in music". Since then he has continued to dance of the edge of perfection and push the boundaries of sound. He is one on a short list of musicians to have won both a Grammy and an Oscar. Having attended 16 live Nine Inch Nails performances dating back to the Self Destruct Tour in 1994, I have been witness to the greatest musician of my generation. And while I realize that statement reeks of opinion, I stand behind it. In 1989 Pretty Hate Machine marked the beginning of an era of influence and creativity that would have a lasting effect on any that were privileged to experience his art. In Trent I trust.
Hidden Rupees Category 1: Best of the Rest (Weekly)
These are the players that are owned in less than approximately 85% of most leagues that were top performers based on last week's stats.
Running Back: Knile Davis
The Nile is a river is Egypt. Denial is the act of declaring something to be untrue. The Knile is the very capable running back that plays behind Jamaal Charles. Not a great place to be if your goal is playing time. Last week, however, he managed to outshine Charles by scoring a touchdown on the ground and in the air. One thing has been made clear, if you think Davis is not the most valuable handcuff, you are in denial. Tell that to all of the Joseph Randall owners.
Wide Receiver: Harry Douglas
Who's Harry Crumb? I mean Harry Douglas. He's the guy that always seems to step up whenever Roddy White or Julio Jones can't play. When one of them are out, he's a solid fantasy play. When they're both active, he's not. With Jones out last week Douglas was targeted 14 times, catching 10 for 131 yards. Dems some good numbers. Too bad he couldn't throw in a touchdown.
Tight End: Josh Hill
Josh Hill had two targets last week. Josh Hill had two catches last week. Josh Hill had two touchdowns last week. Josh Hill's target to reception ratio was 100%. His reception to touchdown ratio was 100%. Too bad he wasn't targeted like 6 times. He obviously would have had 6 touchdowns. The most important stat: The number of teams that had him in their lineups was zero.
The Stats Machine would also like to give a shout out to Owen Daniels who caught 4 of 9 targets for 62 yards and a touchdown. Keep it goin' Owen.
Hidden Rupees Category 2: Best of the Best (Weekly)
These are the best performing players based on last week's stats regardless of percentage owned.
Running Back: Le'Veon Bell
The Stats Machine is getting sick of talking about this guy. I'm also all out of witty things to say about him. I guess that's what happens when he takes the honor 3 weeks in a row. Or maybe I'm just bitter that I don't own him in any of my leagues. Last week he rushed 20 times for 47 yards and 2 touchdowns and added 5 receptions for another 72 yards in the air. But with one week still to go in most fantasy leagues, it's not over yet. Like Rocky said to Tommy Gunn in Rocky V during their street fight "I didn't hear no Bell".
The Stats Machine has another shout out to make. This time it goes to Jeremy Hill who carried the ball 25 times for 148 yards and 2 touchdowns. This week he was King of the Hill. Or maybe it was Josh. I'm pretty sure the voice of the old guy in King of the Hill comes from that old dude that Beavis and Butthead used to torment.
Wide Receiver: Odell Beckham Jr.
Is this guy for real? He's been incredible. Another guy I snoozed on after he made his debut in week 5 against Atlanta. Perhaps it was because he followed that game up with a stinker against Philadelphia, but either way I am still kicking myself. In a Van Damme kick the guy standing behind you kind of way. Odell racked up 12 catches on 15 targets for 143 yards and 3 freaking touchdowns. I wonder if he's banging a spice girl. That old dirty bastard!
Tight End: Rob Gronkowski
I've lived nearly my entire life in New Jersey. About 3 years ago I moved to Massachusetts for a job. Now I live 10 minutes from Gillette Stadium. Growing up a Giants fan I never really had any problem with the Patriots. Thank Trent my dad wasn't a Jets (or Mets) fan. I feel bad for my friends who inherited that burden. But that's besides the point. There's a house around the corner from mine with a giant sign on their front lawn that reads "Honk for Gronk". Well this week The Stats Machine beeps its horn. Gronkowski had 3 catches for 96 yards and a touchdown and has solidified his status as the best tight end in football. Fantasy and real.
Good luck to everyone that is going for a ring this week. And to the rest of you, I hope you've already switched over to the baseball side of business here at Razzball.
I wonder if there are any teams named The Pigs. And if so, after they win do they sing March of the Pigs? Doesn't it make you feel better, the pigs have won tonight…
Harry Douglas, Jamaal Charles, Jeremy Hill, Joseph Randle, Josh Hill, Julio Jones, knile davis, Le'Veon Bell, Odell Beckham Jr, Owen Daniels, Rob Gronkowski, Roddy White, Trent Reznor

Thats a good opinion to have. Thats a name that used to get thrown out a lot and has faded over the years. In the same vein as Dylan, Bowie and Prince, their is that once a decade artist comes out and changes the game with unbelievable talent and game changing innovations. I always put Alice in there when talking of Nirvana and Pearl Jam, even though I'm not a huge fan of PJ, I can appreciate what they have done.

It's true. Oscar-winning Three Six Mafia are reuniting.
The rumor mill is churning out news that the entire crew will be reuniting, which remains to be seen. But DJ Paul has confirmed on Twitter that a new album is in the works for early next year.
Members of the group, which won the first Oscar for a hip hop song ("Hard Out There For A Pimp" form the movie "Hustle & Flow") have been performing and touring fairly often, but this would be the first time the whole group was reunited under the banner of Three Six Mafia.

In addition, we would like to point out this tip sheet from the D5 Coalition as possibly one helpful resource to those who are beginning to think about the demographic data collection process. Our website offers additional resources on DEI.
We understand that not everyone will be able to supply this information immediately, and there is an option for applicants to provide context for their work. We do encourage grantees to begin having conversations within their board and staff about what role diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) plays in their organization and community.
How can I tell if McKnight received my application or report?
The online system automatically generates an email to the account holder address every time an application or requirement is saved or submitted.

The logo is available in two colors (red and black), two orientations (wide and vertical), and three file types (.eps, .jpg, and .png). Beyond these parameters, no variations in the logo's appearance or treatment are allowed.
Designers working on communications projects for McKnight should consult McKnight's brand guidelines. The manual includes important guidelines and requirements related to logo usage, fonts, color palette, and other aspects of McKnight's visual identity.
We would like to write a press release or statement about our new grant. How do we describe the McKnight Foundation?
The McKnight Foundation, a family foundation based in Minnesota, advances a more just, creative, and abundant future where people and planet thrive. Program interests include regional economic and community development, Minnesota's arts and artists, education equity, youth engagement, Midwest climate and energy, Mississippi River water quality, neuroscience research, international crop research, and rural livelihoods. Founded in 1953 and independently endowed by William and Maude McKnight, the Foundation has assets of approximately $2.2 billion and grants about $90 million a year.
Please note that the asset and grantmaking figure varies slightly every year.
Are there any guidelines or restrictions on how we can share the news of our McKnight grant?
Grantees should feel free to share news of grant awards, grant-supported activities, and program impact and outcomes. Sharing information about your supported activities can heighten visibility of important issues, maintain or increase positive momentum, and encourage widespread use of best practices and lessons learned.
For the first public announcement of funding, we generally request that grantees wait until after McKnight has distributed its own official grants announcements, about one month after board approval. We are open to making reasonable exceptions. Grantees wishing to announce earlier for a particular strategic purpose should contact a communications team member at (612) 333-4220 or communications@mcknight.org.
Beyond the above, the Foundation does not restrict how or if grantees announce McKnight funding. Grantees are not required to list us as a funder, although we assume the McKnight Foundation will be listed among other current funders where appropriate. This page has links to our logo, boilerplate statement, and graphic standards manual.
McKnight does not expect to review or approve a grantee's independent media or marketing materials. Upon grantee request, however, we are available to verify accurate representation of McKnight or the grant in your materials.
For broader, ongoing collaborations or more intensive communications strategies and materials, please contact McKnight Communications directly at communications@mcknight.org.
How does McKnight share the news about grants approved to the public?
About a month after board approval, McKnight staff will email each grantee an official notice of approved funding. That letter will outline the scope of funded work, noting any restrictions, and detailing the Foundation's expectations for future reporting and/or additional payments. At roughly the same time, McKnight publicly releases a grant announcement that features a few grantees, and all the grants become available in our grantee database .
How do I stay current on news and developments at McKnight?
As a grantee, your organization is an important and valued partner to McKnight. We regularly share Foundation announcements, including field-specific developments, news across program areas, insights from our staff, and details about new research reports and new opportunities.
To reach you, we may use any email address your organization provides as part of your grant application process. If there are changes to relevant staff, please contact our grants administration team at apply@mcknight.org. Additional staff or partners can also sign up on our website to receive McKnight's e-news mailings.
Please be sure to add the following addresses to your "safe senders" list: apply@mcknight.org and communications@mcknight.org.
In addition, be sure to follow us on our Twitter and Facebook accounts. After you follow us on Facebook, click "See First" on our page or prioritize the McKnight Foundation in your news feed preferences to help ensure our posts end up in your newsfeeds.
If you are not already receiving McKnight news, then please sign up for our email list.
What types of meeting spaces are available for use?
Bringing people together to deepen relationships and foster new ideas is essential for furthering our program goals. When possible, we make meeting space available to grantees and partner organizations. Complete meeting space details with room maps, A/V capabilities, and specific layouts are available here.
Can I see a list of frequently asked questions about meeting space requests?
To assist with groups making room requests, we've gathered answers to the most frequently asked questions. They can be viewed here.

I received two complimentary passes on the "Be a Dairy Farmer" tour in exchange for this blog post. Thank you again, New Day Dairy!
Since our move to Iowa over the summer, Andy and I have jumped in feet-first in experiencing all things Midwestern. Recently, a new friend named Lynn invited Andy and me out to her family's dairy farm, New Day Dairy. They recently started offering the "Be a Dairy Farmer" experience and she thought it would be a neat way to immerse myself in the culture of Iowa.
Y'all, this was the neatest and most educational, uniquely Iowan/Midwestern experience I have been on to date. Andy worked on a cattle ranch in northern Nevada for a few years before he joined the Army, so he had some experience with cattle from the meat-producing side of things and had an idea of what to expect, but it was a new experience for him to see things from the dairy side! I may have grown up in Kentucky, but honestly, my only experience with cows before my dairy farm tour was driving past them in fields to wherever I was headed and occasionally rolling down the windows to moo at them. I knew going into this I would be learning so much, and I was right!
Lynn's husband, #DairyManDan, took Andy and I on a tour of the dairy farm. He's a 5th generation dairy farmer! Dan was incredibly patient with me– to be honest, I was a teensy bit nervous because I had never been around cows before and they're gigantic– and answered all of my silly questions!
One of the reasons they name the cows is because they are in their family for so long! They get to know their names and personalities; Dairyman Dan can even identify a specific cow by sight from across the barn! Typically their cows stay at the farm around 8 years– the average amount of time a cow produces quality milk. When the cow can no longer produce, typically she will go to a slaughterhouse and be made into the delicious ground beef we all love to eat!
Some of the cows on their farm are descendants of cows that Dan's mom raised as a child!
They artificially inseminate their cows. Their milking robot can detect when a cow will be in heat, which helps Dan know when the best time to artificially inseminate them is!
We had the opportunity to help clean the pens, bottle feed the baby calfs, ride in the tractor (my first tractor ride ever!) and move the expecting mamas over to the maternity pen. I also had the opportunity to stop and squeal at all the cute little barn kitties!
At the time we visited, they had two cows with "L" names expecting babies, so we suggested they name the next baby Lily! At one point on the tour, Andy whispered that the cows reminded him of our pup…. a little clumsy and a whole lot smarter than her, and loves booty scratches! Maybe the next time we visit they will have a Lily calf!
The thing that was most amazing to me was seeing all of the science and technology behind dairy farming. New Day Dairy uses "Rita the Robot" to milk the cows. The cows all have chips in them to determine how many times a day they are being milked and how much milk they are producing, and Rita compiles all the data. Since she milks 24/7, she is designed to call Dairyman Dan when there is an issue with the milking machine! They also have some cool feature to help clean the manure out of the "alleyways" instead of hand scraping it all the way down the barn. They a robot named "Freddie the Feed Pusher" to help keep the feed near the cows, since the cows sometimes push it away as they are eating.
Freddie the Feed Pusher is the green machine on the right!
New Day Dairy's mission statement is to "develop, milk, and bless." It definitely was a blessing to me because I was able to see how a gallon of milk at Walmart comes into existence! It gave me a new appreciation for being able to just drive to the store and grab a gallon of milk whenever I am craving it. It gave me a new appreciation for the men and women who run dairy farms, cattle farms, and produce farms! We literally could not survive without farmers as we would not have food, meat, and milk without it! It is also so amazing how God designed cows so we could have milk and cheese and get our Vitamin D. It totally blew my mind that making milk from cows was very similar to human breastfeeding; how amazing is it that our God designed all of it!
Lynn and Dan were the most amazing people and I am so thankful we did a dairy farm tour on their farm! She was so gracious when I had to reschedule our tour twice due to Army things and then some rough weather! They invited us to stick around afterwards for dinner (and to drink a glass of milk, because of course!) and Andy and I had such a great time getting to know them. I wish that we lived closer to their neck of the woods so we could hang out with them more!
Next summer, I'm sure we'll have friends and family come visit. I definitely plan on taking them on the "Be a Dairy Farmer" experience at New Day Dairy!

How Can I Experience God?
Experience God in your life through prayer, reading God's word, Christian fellowship. Here are some encouraging scriptures about walking with God.
How To Experience God's Grace!
Help Me To Experience God And To Do His Will!
I experience God's peace in my heart, and I believe God can help us when we are following him and put our way of doing things to the side to experience God fully.
Knowing that I am a sinner and that the wages of sin are death, I have found peace knowing that Christ died for my sins and I will be with Him in heaven because of my surrendering to Him as my Lord and Savior.
That is when I found that my actions and interactions in my life with others, myself and with God all mirror God's purpose and plan.
Finding peace with God did not happen when someone is out drinking and using drugs, or living a wrong type of lifestyle like I used to live, although sometimes it is what it takes to lead someone to the saving grace of Jesus Christ like in my situation.
Experiencing God When Feeling Disconnected From God!
Experience God, Because God's Presence Matter!
Where Does God's Kindness And Grace Originate?
All good things come from God, the maker of heaven and earth. The man with wisdom brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart.
The evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Kindness is doing something and not expecting anything in return. It is also respect and helping others without waiting for someone to help one back.
God Help Me Please Because I Need You Now!
You Can Experience God In Action!
Encouraging others goes hand in hand with trusting in God that He is ultimately in control. Without a relationship with God, I can easily understand why many people might feel lost and discouraged. (Since I have not always walked close to the Lord in my past).
I decided in 1986 to commit to following God after realizing my way was not working, so I have learned that God has a way of making himself available to us during the times that we need encouragement the most through people and situations.
This website is focused on a personal relationship with God, not a religion, although the Bible is our authority and a source of instruction. We offer insights and wisdom that will direct you to the life God meant for you to live.

Ashland History
Brookside Pool has cooled off Ashland-area swimmers since 1927
By Lori Adams Kaple, Ashland County Historical Society
ASHLAND -- Ashland Source's feature on July 25, 2019, "Ashland Pool Party Makes a Splash," along with all the recent hot summer weather, may have caused some local folks to wonder how long Ashland has had a public swimming pool at Brookside Park to enjoy, beat the heat, and swim in with a very large rubber ducky.
After Brookside Park was started from an old stone quarry in 1917, Ashlanders expressed the desire to build a public swimming pool.
Founders of the park, Frank Downs and the Rev. A. B. Robertson, sold the first stock for the pool in 1924. By 1927, there were 40 stockholders who invested a total of $22,000 to build the 150 foot x 60 foot pool and its pump system.
Thirty-five years after the completion of the first pool, Ashland City Council approved a modern replacement for the deteriorating original pool at a cost of $130,000 for a "pay as you go" type of public funding. Unvoted general obligation bonds were issued and the new pool opened on July 3, 1962, with 850 people taking advantage of the free swim that day.
In two years, it was paid off. The pool has since been renovated several times over the years.
Old rules for the swimming pool included:
Swimmers will change clothes in the bathhouse.
Swimmers will shower before swimming.
No street clothing allowed in the pool area except adults looking for children.
No one allowed to leave the pool area in a swimming suit.
Only swimming suits and cut-offs can be worn by swimmers.
Smoking is permitted in the concession area.
All persons will avoid dangerous, thoughtless and boisterous actions.

The David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics (Falk College) is dedicated to excellence in professional academic education. Falk College brings together a rich history of academic programs whose signatures of social responsibility and justice join new and evolving majors reflective of educating global citizens whose leadership changes the places and people where they live and work.
Falk College was named in recognition of generous support from Syracuse University alumni, David B. Falk '72 and Rhonda S. Falk '74. The college's academic programs have strong roots in University history. The College of Nursing had existed since 1943. The School of Social Work has existed since 1946, and the College for Human Development was originally founded as the College of Agriculture in 1917. Each of these units has provided the foundation for what is known today as the Falk College, which is the alumni home for graduates of these colleges, as well as other precursors, including College of Human Services and Health Professions and College of Human Ecology. Falk College alumni also include graduates from the departments of Food Studies & Nutrition; Human Development & Family Studies (formerly Child & Family Studies); Marriage & Family Therapy; Public Health; Sport Management; School of Social Work.
Our programs prepare students for careers that answer society's needs. Because of increased attention to healthy lifestyles, disease prevention, food policy, growing and aging populations, and diet-related disease epidemics, there is continued demand for graduates of Falk College programs.
Falk College offers advanced degrees in emerging growth fields like global health, sport venue and event management, addiction studies, nutrition, social work, and food studies, preparing students for leadership roles with local, national and global organizations. US News & World Report recently cited marriage and family therapy as one of the top 15 jobs in healthcare today. Falk College's marriage and family therapy program offers hands-on training at Syracuse University's Couple and Family Therapy Center, including on-site partnership with a local hospital that provides clinical mental health training.
Service learning is professionally and personally rewarding for students in Falk College. Most courses embed service learning elements to provide valuable hands-on experience while instilling the value of making a difference in the places where students ultimately live and work. Some activities students have led include: nutrition education for soldiers at Fort Drum; donation drives to collect food and clothing for the homeless, and; organizing special events that have raised thousands of dollars for community organizations.
Master's-trained, professionally credentialed advisors help all Falk College undergraduate students customize course plans, fieldwork, and internships. Hands-on learning, in many cases right on campus, plus senior capstone projects, help ensure job placement.
Falk College believes the study abroad experience is essential. In addition to semester long programs, the College regularly adds shorter-term immersion studies that bring students to geographies of significance related to their academic fields of study. Community-Based Participatory Approaches to Planning Health Education Programs: Classroom to Global Community brings public health students to South Africa. Students in Mediterranean Food and Culture study features and health effects of the Mediterranean Diet at Syracuse University's campus in Florence, Italy. The Los Angeles immersion program for sport management students offers opportunities to meet with industry executives and tour venues and facilities. The Merken Roots of Social Work program brings students to New York City to explore sites of historical social work significance.
Students in all Falk College academic programs have the opportunity to perform research working with faculty mentors.
Students benefit from Falk College's numerous long-term relationships with national and Central New York-area agencies and businesses by gaining valuable hands-on learning through internships and field placements.
Members of Falk College faculty have tremendous connections in their respective fields; consequently, students benefit from these connections through internship/job placement opportunities, one-on-one career guidance, and guest lectures on campus.


Boredom is the route of all evil – the despairing refusal to be oneself. Soren Kierkegaarde.
Doing the same thing, month after month, year after year inevitably leads to boredom. Sheer, mindless boredom. Guaranteed to produce ennui and squeeze the joy out of your life.
Are you bored? The only real cure for boredom is to throw yourself into some sort of activity that will totally engage both your your mind and your heart. When you do, you won't see the time – and you'll find happiness that you never thought you would. Easier said than done, I know, but there it is.
The way out of boredom begins with a change of some sort, something that many have a great deal of difficulty accepting. Change is something we all resist even when we know we shouldn't. Why?
Change has a considerable impact on the human mind. To the fearful, it is threatening because it means things might get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things might get better. To the confidant it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make it better.
If you have been seriously contemplating taking a different approach but have been hesitating, here are some exercises to get you started in the practice of making changes… you will be amazed at how they can impact on your life!
Take a different route to work – change your daily routine.
Change your hair style – change your attitude.
Listen to music you don't usually listen to – change your mind set.
Invite a new couple for dinner – change the conversation.
Let me know how it went! And good luck!

Josh Berry lands first NASCAR national series win at Martinsville
Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service April 11, 2021 at 1:34 PM
Josh Berry had to wait nearly two days for the Sunday conclusion of the Cook Out 250 at Martinsville Speedway, but it was a worthwhile delay for the late model ace.
Driving for JR Motorsports car owners Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kelley Earnhardt Miller, Berry took the lead from Ty Gibbs on Lap 223 of 250 and held it the rest of the way to win his first NASCAR Xfinity Series race in his 13th start.
In a race that was halted by rain after 91 laps on Friday night and restarted at noon on Sunday, Berry beat JR Motorsports teammate Noah Gragson to the finish line by .590 seconds. Both Gragson and Daniel Hemric passed Gibbs during the closing run to finish second and third, respectively.
RELATED: Race results | Dash 4 Cash hub page
For Gragson, that meant an extra payday of $100,000 as the highest finisher among four eligible Xfinity Dash 4 Cash drivers.
But the day belonged to Berry, who led a race-high 95 laps, 10 before the rain arrived on Friday and 85 on Sunday. Berry is the first driver to win an Xfinity race in the No. 8 car since Earnhardt Jr. prevailed in 2006 at Michigan.
"Oh, gosh, I have so many people I could thank I could be here until tomorrow morning," Berry said after climbing from his car on the frontstretch at the .526-mile short track. "Just Dale, L.W. (Miller), Kelley, everybody for believing in me, everyone on this No. 8 team.
"Man, they've been through a lot the last couple of years. Had a ton of different drivers. Man, I wanted to win so bad for these guys. They're such a great group. I knew this would be a good opportunity to win. (Crew chief) Taylor (Moyer) called a perfect race. The car was good, and we just kept tweaking on it. The tires were pretty worn out there at the end. I was struggling a little bit with wheel-hop. … This is just unbelievable."
RELATED: Josh Berry reacts to win in Victory Lane
Gragson had good reason to feel mixed emotions about finishing second to a driver he called "a legend in short-track racing." The driver of the No. 9 JRM Chevrolet had to play defense during the final run to keep Hemric behind him.
"I really wanted to win there," Gragson said, "but I was having to protect the bottom to keep the guys behind me from moving me out of the way. I couldn't open up my arc the way I needed to and make speed with that."
The Dash 4 Cash bonus was a welcome consolation.
"One hundred thousand dollars richer," Gragson said, displaying the big check. "I'm pumped up. Great 1-2 finish for our team at JR Motorsports."

Gibbs held the fourth spot, followed by Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Brandon Jones, who had just taken the lead from Berry when storms stopped the action on Friday night.
Series leader and defending champion Austin Cindric ran sixth, with Harrison Burton, Justin Haley, Justin Allgaier and Michael Annett completing the top 10. All four JR Motorsports drivers finished in the top 10 (Berry, Gragson, Allgaier and Annett).
Though he's not driving in the series full-time, Berry also earned eligibility for the Dash 4 Cash bonus in the April 24 Xfinity race at Talladega (4 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN, SiriusXM), along with Gragson, Hemric and Jones.

Notes: The No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota driven by Jones was found to have one lug nut not safe and secure in post-race inspection. The No. 23 Our Motorsports Chevrolet driven by Blaine Perkins was assessed a penalty for loss/separation of improperly installed rear axle (Section 12.5.2.7.4e) as the car lost an axle during the race. Crew chief Brian Graham has been suspended for the next Xfinity race — April 24 at Talladega.

Parents Become Activists In The Fight Over South Portland's Petroleum Tanks

After months of inconclusive monitoring, fearful moms demand a meeting with the state as they search for ways to limit toxic emissions that fill the air.
Episode 8: The Fumes in South Portland. The eighth in an ongoing first-person series by InsideClimate News reporter Sabrina Shankman about the growing fears of residents in South Portland, Maine, as they try to solve a mystery: Are the fumes emanating from the storage tanks of the nation's easternmost oil port harming their kids?
SOUTH PORTLAND—Sometimes, grassroots activism looks obvious, with bold signs and public acts of disobedience. Sometimes, it looks like this: 14 people sitting on the carpeted floor of a sunny room in a home on Cottage Road while young kids color and eat crackers and fruit.
So it was on a recent Sunday, as members of Protect South Portland, an environmental group, sought to tap into a new vein of activism: parents. There's been this undercurrent of fear here for almost a year since we realized that the noxious fumes wafting from 120 bulk petroleum storage tanks in our otherwise idyllic, close-knit, environmentally conscious little city might be making our kids and our families sick, or worse, causing cancer. I'm a mom, and I've lived with that fear every day since.
My 14-month-old daughter, Ruby, goes to daycare less than a quarter of a mile from tanks that contain asphalt and bunker fuel, a thick, sludge-like kind of oil, both of which have to be heated to keep from hardening. My 4-year-old son Oscar's public pre-k isn't much further from these tanks, and is next to another tank farm.
My neighbors and I had grown accustomed to the stink, assuming that the state or city would let us know if there was a problem. But our sense of safety was shattered last March when the Environmental Protection Agency filed a consent decree with the company that owns some of the tanks, Global Partners, for having the potential to emit more than twice their permitted limit of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as benzene, a known carcinogen, and naphthalene, which can have neurological impacts.
I know a little bit about this. I'm an environmental and climate journalist by profession—my regular beat is the arctic, and I've covered similar stories in communities on Alaska's North Slope. It's hard to believe the same issues could be facing us here. Since the news broke my reporter's brain has been clogged with questions: Were those ubiquitous fumes an indication that toxic emissions were present in the air? And if they were, how much were we all breathing? And how harmful was it?
I've been asking those questions, and covering the story of South Portland's growing fear and anger, throughout 2019. I'm staying on the story until I find the answers, which likely means I'm in it for the long haul.
The fear is especially potent among those with young children, whose little lungs work overtime and who, along with the elderly, are particularly vulnerable to emissions. After all, these kids didn't choose where to live or where to attend daycare or school — that's on us, the parents, and these days those decisions carry with them the weight of wondering just what we're exposing them to.
"This has been a huge learning curve for all of us," Roberta Zuckerman said as people settled into their spots around the room. The driving force behind Protect South Portland, she had spent the spring and summer organizing residents to ask the EPA to increase the penalties levied against Global and another company, Sprague, that had also been issued a violation for exceeding its permitted emissions.
"Each of you might be at different places in terms of what you've been following… It's pretty …" she trailed off, searching for the word.
"Complicated," said Chelsea Conaboy, who was sitting next to her. Zuckerman smiled in agreement. Conaboy is a relatively new addition to the group, but as a mother of young children and a concerned South Portland resident, she represents exactly what Zuckerman hopes to bring to the movement.
Zuckerman and Conaboy quickly brought everyone up to speed. Global's violation of its emissions permit went back years.

In 2011 and 2012, the EPA had required the company to do additional testing on its tanks containing asphalt and bunker fuel. It was the first time that anyone measured what was actually coming out of the tanks, instead of making estimates based on mathematical formulas.
"Global was issued a notice of violation back in 2012. That's when EPA said, 'You're emitting way more than you're supposed to," Conaboy said. "The company didn't do anything. The EPA issued another one in 2013, the company didn't do anything. Eventually EPA sued and said, you have to do something."
Both the company and the state dispute the methods that the EPA used to determine the emissions level, but the state has spearheaded an air monitoring effort. Global, for its part, has supported that work.
Results from six air monitoring stations placed around South Portland, as well as tests many of my fellow residents and I performed using hand-held canisters, turned up troubling spikes of benzene and naphthalene.
Further data revealed a potential problem with heavy compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a group of 100 chemicals formed by the incomplete burning of coal, oil and gas. Some of them cause cancer.
The consent decree required that Global do a host of things—pay a $40,000 fine, contribute $150,000 to an unrelated environmental health program, install equipment to decrease the emissions, and put limits on how frequently it heated its tanks and how much product it moved through them. But when it was finalized in October, the EPA did not incorporate any of the comments made by Protect South Portland or the city of South Portland, which sought higher penalties for the company and requirements for additional air monitoring and public health surveys.
Meanwhile, air monitoring will continue through November 2020, including data gathered much closer to the tanks themselves. Monitoring will also begin for PAHs, and the state is planning to conduct a study to determine whether there has been a spike in asthma cases near the tanks.
As the hour ticked toward lunchtime and the window of toddler patience closed, Zuckerman and Conboy explained that the most pressing issue right now for Protect South Portland is Global's application for a new, amended license. They want to see Global's facility reclassified as what's called a "major source" emitter. That classification would mean that Global would suddenly be subject to more rigorous regulation—including having to apply for a federal Title V permit that requires stricter pollution controls.
They were hoping that the people in the room—and lots of others—would show up at a City Council meeting two nights later to advocate for a state hearing about the amended license.
"If we could get a big turnout and have lots of people getting up and saying we want monitoring, we don't want to have to wait two or three years to know what we're breathing in our community and to know that our kids are safe to play outside and all of that … if we get a big turnout, maybe we can get it," Zuckerman said.
Numbers That Never Quite Add Up
The next day I got on the phone with Jane Gilbert, who manages the state's air licensing unit.
Over the past few months I've been speaking with her, Gilbert has proven to have an abiding patience for the seemingly endless number of questions I come up with (this is complicated stuff!). I'm hoping that patience extends through the day, because I have a lot more.
First off, Gilbert made it clear that we're dealing now in hypotheticals. Global hasn't actually submitted its amended emissions permit application yet—it's due by Feb. 17—so we're going off of what she's assuming they will submit. But based on those assumptions, she says, there's no reason to think they will suddenly be classified as a "major source" emitter.
The state of Maine says that any facility that emits more than 50 tons a year of VOCs is a major source of emissions. Global is permitted now for 21.9 tons, but based on their reporting to the state, they fall short of that limit every year.
Gilbert said the state is counting on the requirements that the EPA included in the consent decree to keep Global from becoming a major source of emissions. "I don't know how those numbers in the consent decree were calculated," she said. "But I'm presuming that the EPA used something to arrive at those numbers such that if it's constrained to that, they have a level of confidence they would not be a major source."
But as she and I discuss each of the requirements of the consent decree it becomes clear: Everything the EPA requires of Global is either (a) already the normal practice of the company or (b) actually allows them to emit more.
The EPA has put limitations on how much product can be moved through Global's heated tanks—50 million gallons of bunker fuel and 75 million gallons of asphalt a year. Gilbert wasn't sure how that compared to past practices—it's not something they usually track—but the good news is that now at least there's a limit where there didn't used to be one.
I pushed back a bit. At my house, I said, there's no official limit on how many Oreo cookies my 4-year-old can eat. If I were to say the limit is now 100, that would technically put a limit in place, but it surely wouldn't spare him a tummy ache.
When I followed up with her colleague, Stacy Knapp, she found that the EPA's limit doesn't do much "limiting" at all. What's being imposed by the EPA is actually about six times higher than the year that Global saw its greatest throughput, 2017.
And as I look through Global's license, it becomes clear: The limitations on the number of days the tanks are heated and how many tanks can contain asphalt or bunker fuel? Already their normal practice.
Then Gilbert told me that when the earlier permit allowing for up to 21.9 tons of emissions was calculated, that did not include emissions from the asphalt or bunker fuel tanks, because in the past, it was thought that the emissions were negligible.
But when the EPA went in and tested what was actually coming from those specific tanks, they had found a potential to emit more than 50 tons. Now, Global is being told to account for those emissions via this amended license, and yet the state says it's not likely to increase the emissions? This made no sense.
As Gilbert and I went through all this, I asked her: if the consent decree doesn't actually restrict the emissions, what will keep Global's emissions from rising?
It's the requirement that they emit less than 21.9 tons of VOCs, she tells me. "That's what keeps them a minor source—the permit," she said. In essence, we have to take them at their word.
And then I learned about the last wrinkle: From 2017 to 2018, Global's reported emissions saw a precipitous drop—from 18.7 tons of VOCs to 4.81 tons. How? It adopted the EPA's newest equation to calculate them, which was just released last fall.
With all this fuzzy math, it's hard to have a lot of faith in such an arcane system in which so little actual monitoring is performed by the state and the EPA and so much is left to the company to self-report.
When I hung up the phone, my head felt like it wanted to explode.
Activists to City Council: Ask for a Meeting on Global's License
By 8 p.m. on Tuesday night, it was the South Portland City Council's turn to make sense of what was happening. Zuckerman and Conaboy sat with a handful of other Protect South Portland members, including one woman, Mindy Hull, who told me she's struggled in the past to find a way to make the meetings. As a single, full-time working mom, the arrangements are complicated. But she was at the meeting on Sunday, and here she was now.
The City Council's attorney weighed in and let the council know that while the state Department of Environmental Protection is not obligated to hold a public meeting about Global's amended license, it has said it's happy to do so. All the City Council has to do is ask for it. The Protect South Portland members' plan was to ensure it did.

I know Hull because her daughter, Carly, attends MaineLy Childcare with my daughter Ruby. As she stood up and read a statement to the council, I couldn't help but relate to everything she said. She described happy drives to daycare with the windows rolled down, singing songs on the way as they turned toward MaineLy.
"On many, many days after making the turn, especially in better weather, my throat would start to burn. Quickly I would roll up the windows and switch the air circulator to avoid pulling in outside air. The fumes from that area would choke us," Hull said. "The air smelled like a mix of petroleum and asphalt. We couldn't sing anymore, and I'd tell Carly to put her scarf or other clothing item over her nose and mouth to filter out the fumes."
Her message was echoed by the other activists, who added their own requests— like 24/7 fenceline monitoring that could give a better picture of what is being emitted by the tanks, and the requirement that Global use technology called Vapor Recovery Units to capture its emissions.
A bald, lean man with a thick black beard stepped to the podium and introduced himself. "Hello my name is Orion Breen, I'm a new employee of Global," he said, explaining he'll be helping build relationships in the community. "I'm not a petroleum guy, I'm a people person."
The name instantly rang a bell. I had wondered why someone named Orion Breen had added me as a Facebook friend a month or so ago. I had taken just a cursory glimpse at his profile before accepting—this is a bit of a surprise.
The meeting carried on.

"Looking at the set of outcomes possible, it doesn't seem like one of them is, 'No you can't get a license, you can't emit," said councilor Misha Pride.
If the state licensing process can't accomplish that, "we might have another fight on our hands," he said, referring to the city's earlier battle to keep tar sands oil from being piped through its port. "I'm willing to entertain that."
'Im Angry That I Wake Up…and I Smell Oil'
It was past 10 when I got in my frigid car to drive home. As the seat heater slowly started to do its job, I kept playing in my mind a moment from the meeting.
Conaboy, the new Protect South Portland member, has been researching the intricacies of the license laws and the Global consent decree and testified to some of the very technical aspects of where she sees the state's efforts falling short. But she also spoke to what drives her—anger.
"I think we are angry that the company over many years violated the public trust by emitting far above what they're permitted to emit," she said. "I am angry thinking about the fact that after everything we've been through I will open my windows in the spring and I will wake up one morning and I will smell fuel in the room where my 3-year and my 5-year-old are sleeping."
That's it. Conaboy's older son, Hartley, became friends with my son, Oscar, when they both attended MaineLy Childcare. She's a busy woman — she's a journalist working on a book about the science of the maternal brain, and she's got two young sons — but she's found time to become a quasi-expert on air permitting regulations.
She's angry because she doesn't know what her kids are being exposed to. She's angry because it feels like those in authority—whether it's the state, or the EPA, or the company—haven't been 100 percent upfront, and it may be her kid's health that pays the price.
I get it. I'm angry, too.

Q: How correctly use Redis with Koa (node.js) I try to get an information from a redis db and return it as the body of the response to the user. First, here is a code that fails :
var redis = require("redis"),
    koa = require("koa");

var app = koa(),
    port = process.argv[2] || 3000,
    client = redis.createClient();

app.use(function* (next) {

    client.get("test", function (err, res) {
        this.body = res;
    });

    yield next;
});

app.listen(port);
console.log("listen on port " + port)

Surely because the yield calls end before the callback is called.
Then here is a code that success :
function askRedit (callback) {
    client.get("test", callback);
}

app.use(function* (next) {
    this.body = yield askRedit;
    yield next;
});

But I clearly misunderstand why the second one is working. Does the yield in yield askRedit have the same behavior than the one in yield next ?
EDIT : I just seen a page that seems to answers a little : https://github.com/visionmedia/co/blob/master/examples/redis.js
So now I will try to understand these misterious yield.. is this a way of doing synchronous things with asynchronous calls ?

A: Here is the correct solution :
"Use strict";

var redis = require("redis"),
    coRedis = require("co-redis"),
    koa = require("koa");

var app = koa(),
    port = process.argv[2] || 3000,
    db  = redis.createClient(),
    dbCo = coRedis(db);

app.use(function* () {
    yield dbCo.set("test", 42);
    this.body = yield dbCo.get("test");
});

app.listen(port);
console.log("listen on port " + port)

theses links helped :
https://github.com/koajs/workshop/tree/master/01-co
http://www.jongleberry.com/koa.html
and "co-redis" of course
Thanks to myself !

A: You could also use:
var koa = require('koa');
var app = koa();
var redis = require('then-redis');

var db = redis.createClient('tcp://redis:6379');

db.set('my-key', 0);

app.use(function *(){
    db.incrby('my-key', 5);
    this.body = yield db.get('my-key');
});

app.listen(9000);
