Alliance backs designation as 'inland waterway' Sergei Krasikov's laps across Fishkill Creek come with caveats. After a rainstorm, wait several days for the runoff carrying potential pollutants to clear before swimming. Protect your nose and eyes, and shower afterward. Back on land, Krasikov is co-chair of the Fishkill Creek Watershed Alliance and part of a movement to protect the creek not only for flora and fauna but as a place of respite and recreation. The creek extends for 33.5 miles between Union Vale in northeast Dutchess County and the Hudson River. Featuring gorges and waterfalls, it is the main branch of a 193-mile watershed that spans 14 municipalities in Dutchess and Putnam counties. Born in July 2023 from a collaboration between conservation advisory committees in Beacon and East Fishkill, the alliance's first major project is getting the creek designated by the state as an "inland waterway," said Krasikov, who chairs Beacon's committee. If legislation sponsored by state Sen. Rob Rolison, whose district includes Beacon, becomes law, Beacon and other municipalities through which the creek passes would become eligible for funding through the state's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) and the Environmental Protection Fund. The programs provide grants for planning, design, land acquisition and other waterfront projects for designated coastal water bodies, such as the Hudson River, and inland waterways. Beacon adopted a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program for its riverfront and Fishkill Creek in 1992 and updated it in 2011, but the creek lacks designation as an inland waterway. "This designation opens the door for the towns along the Fishkill Creek and its tributaries to access vital resources," Rolison said. Along Beacon's portion of the creek, several sections of its Greenway and Heritage Trail have already opened. Along the Beacon Line, an unused railroad line envisioned as the route for a rail trail between Beacon and Hopewell Junction, several vacant parcels have been identified, Krasikov said. For 2 miles, the rail line follows Fishkill Creek, where the alliance envisions places to kayak, swim or relax. "There is a potential for pocket parks - connecting two together and giving people a chance to experience being by the water and enjoying the beautiful creek," he said. New York's designated inland waterways include Wappinger Creek in Dutchess County and Lake Carmel, Lake Mahopac and Lake Nimham in Putnam. With the Hudson River designated as a coastal waterbody, Beacon has used LWRP grants on such riverfront projects as the kayak deck at Long Dock Park. Other beneficiaries include the City of Poughkeepsie, which received a $765,000 grant in 2023 to develop strategies to improve biodiversity, water quality and public space along the Fall Kill Creek. That same year, Nyack received $417,000 to install an Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant shoreline walkway and to buttress its waterfront against storm surge and other impacts of climate change. In December, Kingston received $167,000 to update its 1992 waterfront plan and earlier was awarded $552,000 to demolish two condemned, city-owned houses in a flood zone and build a parking lot, boardwalk and pier. With "lingering concerns" about water quality, one of the goals of the Fishkill Creek Watershed Alliance is to study the lower creek's health, said Krasikov. The alliance successfully lobbied to have the middle and upper segments included in an ongoing state water-quality study that covers "everything, from agricultural runoff to biological markers to industrial pollutants," he said. Additional tests for the creek are being designed in partnership with faculty at Bard and Vassar colleges, and Riverkeeper is interested in collaborating with the alliance to measure bacteria indicating fecal matter from sewage, said Krasikov. The alliance is also collaborating on a "watershed characterization" study with Clarkson University's Beacon Institute for...

Episode 69: Jean-François Houle. Quick and sweet interview this week with the Head Coach of Clarkson University Jean-Francois Houle. He only had about 25 minutes to spare so we buzzed through both his playing career and coaching. JF had a unique upbringing since his dad was an NHL player, so immediately he was around the dressing room and hockey was injected into his veins. JF would go on to get drafted to his hometown team the Montreal Canadians (the team his dad played 11 seasons for) and receive a D1 scholarship to Clarkson University. He would have 4 successful seasons at Clarkson before starting his Pro career for the next 5 seasons. As soon as JF retired, he knew he wanted to get into coaching and returned home to Clarkson University for 7 seasons as an Assistant Coach. JF is a strong believer in moving around as a young coach to try to learn as much as you can from multiple people. Pulling pieces from each coach that you like to create your own DNA as a coach is very important. He did exactly that, coaching at various levels of hockey as an Assistant Coach or Head Coach, including AHL, ECHL, QMJHL and NCAA. He was awarded HC of the Year in the QMJHL when he was with the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada in 11/12. He has recently returned home to Clarkson University as their new Head Coach. Even though it was short, it was great talking to Mr. Houle. Hope you enjoy!

A three-tier showstopper cake may have beautiful pipework and neatly done icing, but if it's overbaked and dry on the inside, it's not a good cake.The same is true for marketing. If it has no message but it's beautiful, it's not good marketing. Focusing on substance over style is one of the many lessons we're taking from The Great British Baking Show in this episode.Together with the help of our special guest, VP of Corporate Marketing at Trellix, Sara Aiello, we talk about being brand classy, going for substance over style, and trusting your gut.About our guest, Sara AielloSara drives impactful brand and communication initiatives that inspire, inform, and elevate global businesses. At Trellix, she led the brand launch of Trellix from FireEye and McAfee Enterprise. Previously, as Head of Growth & Engagement for Amazon's large item business, she accelerated business growth and customer engagement. At BlackBerry, as Vice President of Field Marketing, Sara led global marketing and sales enablement teams, enhancing the company's technology recognition. During her tenure at Cisco, she spearheaded the security customer experience practice, significantly advancing customer adoption. She also led the successful marketing strategy for a billion-dollar service rebrand. As Director of the Executive Briefing Center for Cybersecurity at The Boeing Company, Sara's expertise in customer experience played a pivotal role in securing critical contracts.Sara holds a Master of International Business from Seattle University and a Bachelor of Science from Clarkson University.What B2B Companies Can Learn From The Great British Baking Show:Be brand classy. Create content that has integrity and stands proudly for your brand. Think about making something that's evergreen instead of trendy or reactive. Sara says, “You can never go wrong with being brand classy. Something that lives on, endures. Sometimes you'll want to take a quick hit at a competitor or something like that, but that's not going to age well. And so always be kind of brand classy in what you do.”Go for substance over style. Every so often in The Great British Baking Show, a contestant will create a beautiful confection that doesn't taste as good as it looks. That's when Paul Hollywood says, “Style over substance.” In content, you want to make something that has meaning while also being visually attractive. So always think about your message first before focusing on the beauty of it. Sara says, “You have to actually know what you want to say first before you start thinking about how beautiful or whimsical you want it to look.”Trust your gut. Tune in to what feels right and rings true to your brand. In The Great British Baking Show, contestants have to navigate the technical challenge often based on their gut alone, having to make a cake based on directions like, “Make a genoise sponge.” You may not always have all the information in marketing either, but Sara says, “Be comfortable with not having all your information.” Trust that your gut will lead you in the right direction.Quotes*”One thing we haven't hit on is the storytelling aspect. You really identify and make memories with the bakers and the way that the show tells their backstory. And so you feel really connected. And I think that marketers should remember the power of storytelling. A lot of times, we want to go into stats and figures, but that's really not going to engage our emotional side of our brain, which is what we need to be persuaded.”*”ROI, marketers love to talk about this. I think it really comes down to setting clear goals. A lot of times, especially when it comes on the brand side as opposed to the demand side of marketing, it isn't super easy to see and have metrics, so it's really important to set clear goals from the start. So then you can see if you're succeeding or not.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Sara Aiello, VP of Corporate Marketing at Trellix[1:00] B2B Marketing Lessons from The Great British Baking Show[5:10] Behind the Scenes of The Great British Baking Show[11:11] Relating The Great British Baking Show to Marketing[17:52] The Importance of Visuals and Positivity in Marketing[23:24] The Human Element in B2B Marketing[25:46] The Power of Storytelling in Marketing[34:25] Building the Trellix Brand[38:04] Engaging Content Strategies[46:35] Final Thoughts and Advice for Marketing LeadersLinksConnect with Sara on LinkedInLearn more about TrellixAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

It's impossible to start this week without discussing the fallout from the big election, so we start our main stories with a roundup of statements from union leaders in response to the new era of organizing. Next, we hear from dining workers at Clarkson University on their recent victory in securing a strong contract. Teachers in three towns in Massachusetts walked out on strike this week, defying state threats in their pursuit of fair working conditions for the lowest paid paraprofessionals. After last months strike by the ILA, this week lockouts began at Canadian ports on both sides of the country as the shipping monopolies attempt to force through more automation. Boeing machinists voted this week to accept the latest contract offer and return to work, winning historic wage increases. Finally, we discuss the heroic efforts by Cuban electrical workers to restore power to the country as it faces the inhumane effects of the US blockade.

History is filled with women who've made enormous contributions to science. Alice Augusta Ball, a chemist, found a cure for leprosy. The first African American woman to earn a Ph.D. in chemistry, Marie Maynard Daly, discovered a connection between heart health and cholesterol back in 1955. Recently, viral immunologist Kizzmekia S. Corbett led a medical research team to develop the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. The impact women have made on science is life changing, but women are still underrepresented in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) workforce. Listen back to a conversation MPR News host Angela Davis had with two Minnesota scientists, Bridgette Shannon and Jayshree Seth. They talked about what it's like to be a woman in the science field — overcoming barriers and finding success in their research and individual careers. Both Shannon and Seth are scientists at 3M, a multinational conglomerate company headquartered in Minnesota. But outside their daily tasks, they both work to help motivate the next generation of scientists. Shannon is the president of the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers and works to diverse the STEM workforce through K-12 education. Seth is the author of two books, “The Heart of Science – Engineering Footprints, Fingerprints, & Imprints,” and “The Heart of Science: Engineering Fine Print.” Both books are published by the Society of Women Engineers, and sales benefit a scholarship for underrepresented minority women in STEM. Seth was also a speaker for Tedx Talks at St. Olaf College, where she spoke about her journey to becoming an advocate for diversity in STEM fields. Guests: Bridgette Shannon is a chemist and a business development manager in 3M's Transportation and Electronics Business Group. She was the first African American woman to complete and earn a Ph.D. from the department of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Arkansas. Bridgette is the president of the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers. Jayshree Seth is a corporate scientist at 3M and the company's first chief science advocate. She joined 3M in 1993 and holds 80 patents for a variety of innovations. In 2020 she was awarded the highest Achievement Award by the Society of Women Engineers. She is the fourth woman — and first woman engineer — to be inducted into the Carlton Society – 3M's science and innovation “hall of fame.” Jayshree serves on the Board of the Science Museum of Minnesota. She holds a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Clarkson University. Subscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.

While many think the enrollment cliff is quickly approaching, the reality for most enrollment managers is that the cliff is already here. Many institutions are searching for new populations of students to recruit and enroll, but what if you could supplement your enrollment decline with students already familiar with your institution? Retention is not a new concept and is probably already a part of your strategic plan, or it should be, but are you collecting the right data to make informed decisions to get students to stay? Do you have the right campus leaders at your table to execute your strategy? Do you even have a retention strategy? Dr. Michael Thorp from Clarkson University joins us to discuss the importance of retention strategy, the organizational structure to engage your campus partners and discuss KPIs to reach and succeed your retention and enrollment goalsInterested in being on the show?

EMFs are rapidly taking over our lives!Electromagnetic Fields are emitted not just by our wi-fi connections and 5G, but they may be found even in our smart refrigerators, sleep trackers that run on bluetooth, and even artificial light. These affect our health negatively, and even contribute to making mold in our households grow.This interview is hosted by Dr. Lara Varden, PhD. She is an in-house clinician of The DNA Company, and a scientist whose specialty is cellular biology, molecular genetics, biochemistry, and neuroscience. She is a board-certified holistic health practitioner, a licensed Ecclesiastical holistic health practitioner, certified functional genomics practitioner, and certified functional nutritional and lifestyle counselor. She is also the co-Founder and CEO of Sacred Genomics, and is an adjunct professor in Clarkson University.Dr. Lara is joined by Nicolas Pineault, or more known as Nick, "The EMF Guy". Nick is the #1 bestselling author of The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs and an advocate for safe technologies. Through his unconventional approach blending humor, science and common sense, he's becoming a leading voice on the topic of electromagnetic pollution and how it affects our health.Dr. Lara and Nick discuss how EMFs may simply be known as the junk food of frequencies. More often than not though, it is posed to be seen as a positive contribution to society without exposing the risks and hazards that it is capable of doing. What is mostly shared is the convenience that it contributes in everyday life such as work, and the ease of access to the latest trends.On the other side of things, EMFs are capable of great risks towards our cells in which the closer that you are exposing yourself to these fields, the more that is absorbed in your body. With studies ranging from years where 2G and 3G where prevalent showing how unsafe these frequencies are, we can only imagine how much more unsafe our current state is with 5G and everything going wireless. Though these are things that may be unavoidable, we can take measures into lessening our exposure by making use of wires and utilizing features such as airplane mode or simply turning them off when it is time for sleep.Throughout the episode, the following highlights were also discussed by Dr. Lara and Nick:Effects of EMFs and how they manifest themselves in everyday life such as difficulty sleeping, decrease in libido, fatigue, headaches, etc.Proper use of EMF-reducing inventionsThe cellular effects of EMFICBE EMFElectrosensitivityMultiple devices, and other multiple sources of EMFsMeasuring EMF exposureIf you wish to learn more from Nick the EMF guy, you may do so through the following channels:Get a copy of his best-selling book, "The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs: How to Fix Our Stupid Use of Technology" Tune into his podcast, "Safer Tech" to dive deeper into topics on EMF and everything related to it at https://theemfguy.com/smarter-tech/Check out his website at https://theemfguy.com/ Subscribe to his channels on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSNatlkDIyLFSBsrNwAzYSQ), Facebook (fb.com/nickpineaultofficial/), and Instagram (@nickpineault)_________________________________________________________Follow the UNPILLED Podcast on Instagram (@unpilledpodcast)!This episode may also be streamed on YouTube!
We are excited to have SchoolAI as a sponsor for the Summer of AI Series on Transformative Principal. Please visit schoolai.com to save your teachers 10 hours per week. You have a long background in AI so you've seen the ups and downs of that field and the over-hype cycles of the past. Why are the warnings about AI credible now, and what do you see as the biggest dangers? AI as a tool to remove drudgery It's just doing a repetitive task over and over. Behavior has emerged from abstractions. These systems are babies. Questions schools should be asking about AI Services they adopt. AI companies don't exactly know what they are selling. Impossible to test what all the software can do. Having ways to monitor what is going on. Bring students into the process. Productive Struggle - Jo Boaler APLUS Framework: Moving toward a realm where general cognitive skills will matter more than domain-specific expertise The way we are doing school is not the best way to get there. How you divide up your functions drives the overall ethos of the system. Memory system is fundamentally associative. The better network you have, the better you'll learn. Work on problems that have different issues, trade-offs, limitations, etc. Resource management becomes a major skill that is needed. Carving up the world according to common challenges than knowledge domains. Knowledge on demand. Teaching the forest and filling in with trees. We tend to take knowledge and pile it up brick by brick. Change is hard. Activation energy - if there's too much friction, it's very difficult. AI in the classroom - teacher workload less. When you deal with complex issues, you keep what works and jettison what doesn't. Working on multi-disciplinary challenges. Student agency is a must. Is there enough understanding of the conceptual ideas? Moving to increased levels of abstraction. About Timothy DaseyDr. Tim Dasey has a long history of technical development, analysis, and leadership on huge national issues like today's AI emergence. His graduate school dissertation in the early 90s was on AI machine learning applied to neuroscience, and that combination has allowed him unusual perspectives on learning in general, whether for AI or people.Tim spent thirty years at MIT Lincoln Laboratory—their national security hub—where he developed (10 years) and then led (20 years) technology analysis and development for a wide array of challenges. He led 40–80 person groups focused on Chemical and Biological Defense and then AI, and grew new business areas in public health, bioengineering, disaster management, logistics, critical infrastructure protection, and law enforcement.Tim has eclectic expertise that allows him to contribute to leadership and management studies, computer science, biology and medicine, psychology, modeling and simulation, human-systems integration, education, and system analysis. He holds a Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering from Rutgers University and a B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Clarkson University.Relative to education, Tim has taught study skills and computer science at the college level, and computer science for 8th graders. However, Tim doesn't consider himself a teacher since his classroom experiences were brief. His expertise is in AI, the present and future of work, and learning science (humans and machines). He also led the development of numerous educational games over a decade at MIT.He currently runs a consulting company that focuses on AI opportunities and strategic implications for a variety of communities, including biotech, education, and entrepreneurial investment. He has recently published a book called Wisdom Factories: AI, Games, and the Education of a Modern Worker, about AI's impact on work and the education reform implications.

This episode of Inside EMS is brought to you by Lexipol, the experts in policy, training, wellness support and grants assistance for first responders and government leaders. To learn more, visit lexipol.com. After 30 years in EMS in Louisiana, the past 15 as a critical care paramedic, Kelly Grayson is leaving the Bayou state – and the rig – for a full-time paramedic educator role in New York. Kelly will begin his position as the lead instructor as the lead instructor for the new CoAEMSP-accredited paramedic program at Clarkson University in Pottstown, New York, in August. Chris and Kelly discuss what motivated Kelly to make this leap, and what happens when you change jobs and have to prepare for the next chapter. Memorable quotes from this episode “I can render no higher praise for an EMS agency than to say they let me do my job without handcuffs.” “When we lose a longtime member of the workforce – it hurts – and I hate to be the one to do that.” “You never want to burn a bridge. Even if you hate the place you work, you never know that you may have to go back to them one day and say, you know, ‘are you looking for any help?'” “If I make a commitment to a place, I'll follow their rules, cheerfully.” “Make yourself valuable to prospective employers. If you're not happy where you are, you can make a good living at EMS, you can have career satisfaction in EMS. You might not be able to have those things at the place you are currently.” “It's an employee's market right now.” “Vote with your feet.” Together, they discuss: When it's time to make a career change The skills you need when you come off the truck Shifting the paradigm in EMS education Developing and standing up a new paramedic program Bringing affordable EMS education to rural communities How to leave a position without burning bridges

In the name of eugenics, the Nazi state sterilised hundreds of thousands against their will, murdered disabled children and embarked on a programme of genocide. We like to believe that Nazi atrocities were a unique aberration, a grotesque historical outlier. But it turns out that leading American eugenicists and lawmakers like Madison Grant and Harry Laughlin inspired many of the Nazi programmes, from the mass sterilisation of those deemed ‘unfit' to the Nuremberg laws preventing the marriage of Jews and non-Jews. Indeed, before World War Two, many eugenicists across the world regarded the Nazi regime with envious admiration. The Nazis went further, faster than anyone before them. But ultimately, the story of Nazi eugenics is one of international connection and continuity.
