Cumbrae The island of Cumbrae, also known as Great Cumbrae, is Scotland's most accessible island. An 8 minute ferry journey from Largs, it has been inhabited since the end of the last ice age, but became popular during the 20th century thanks to the Clyde paddle steamers. The main settlement on Cumbrae is the Victorian seaside town of Millport. Countless visitors take day trips from the mainland to “cycle roond Millport!”  Field Studies Council Field Studies Council Millport has a storied history as a marine research station. Now a thriving field centre, it offers accommodation and teaching spaces, making it an excellent base for environmental education and fieldwork. Visitors can head out on the research vessel Actinia to collect scientific samples or go wildlife watching, spotting dolphins, seals, and other marine life. The centre is part of Field Studies Council, a UK charity dedicated to delivering nature courses and environmental education across its 16 centres Millport Golf Club Millport Golf Club is a diverse golf course stretched across the heathland on the highest point of the Island. Founded in 1888, each hole of the club's course has its own unique name - a nod to its long history. The course has views across the Firth of Clyde, down to Ailsa Craig and over to Bute and the looming skyline of Goatfell on Arran. Thank you for listening to the Caledonian MacBrayne podcast.

Find somebody to watch the kids while you giggle through today's poem. Happy reading.Respected editor, publisher, writer and poet, Paul Ruffin often relied upon his experiences growing up in the South as a foundation for his stories. He was born in Millport, Alabama, and grew up outside Columbus, Mississippi. After serving in the U.S. Army, Ruffin earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees in English at Mississippi State University. He took post-graduate courses at the University of Southampton in England and graduated with his doctoral degree from the Center for Writers and the University of Southern Mississippi in 1974. He accepted a position at Sam Houston State University where he founded The Texas Review—an international literary journal—and Texas Review Press, a member of the Texas A&M University Press Consortium.Karla K. Morton, 2010 Texas Poet Laureate, said, “His work at The Texas Review Press elevated the whole of Texas Letters.” Throughout the years, Ruffin worked tirelessly to promote the press and its authors, once giving his views on university presses moving toward digital books as opposed to traditional ink-on-paper.“We're fulfilling the ancient role of the university press and that is to produce books. I don't want to give up the book because it is an art,” he said.During his extensive writing career, he published more than 1,500 poems, 100-plus stories, and more than 90 essays in magazines and journals.  His work also has appeared in numerous anthologies and textbooks. In addition, he wrote a weekly column that appeared in several newspapers in Texas and Mississippi. In 2009, he was named Texas State Poet Laureate.In a 2009 article in SHSU's Heritage Magazine, Ruffin was described as someone who “loves football, shooting, riding his tractor, maintaining his truck, and doing his own carpentry, electric, and plumbing work…not exactly the stereotypical image of a person who loves words and is a master of arranging them into beautifully crafted poems and other literary works.” -bio via Sam Houston State University Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Isle of Cumbrae Distillers is owned by 5 full and part-time “Millportonians”, distinctively positioned as being one of the few all-female distilling teams in Scotland, and the only international women's team, drawing representation from the UK, Canada and the USA. A love of the island…and gin, first brought them together, probably in one of Millport's 5 pubs; certainly, the conversations blossomed during Thursday quiz nights at the Twa Dugs! Listen in to hear this amazing story of an idea during an evening out has come to fruition.

This is a sermon Pastor Todd preached at Cedar Grove Baptist Church in Millport, AL at the Sovereign Grace Baptist Fellowship Conference. We pray you enjoy it.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Emily Davis and the Murder Police over Zoom video! Emily Davis and the Murder Police (EDMP)—El Paso, TX's favorite resident alt-punk project helmed by songwriter and frontperson Emily Davis—have found success across the nation through their poignant music and creatively engaging social media presence. Emily's “heart-on-sleeve lyrics, biting wit, and own brand of acoustic-electric folk-punk,” as El Paso Inc. describes it, brings a unique presence to the Southwest US music scene.  Emily has had a fascinatingly unique journey to the national stage. Their YouTube channel, featuring numerous punk rock covers (of, most notably, Bad Religion) has drawn serious attention – accumulating nearly 7 million views. Emily has clearly proven their talent deserves to be noticed, with a voice influenced by artists like Dolores O'Riordan, Shirley Ann Manson, Jenny Lewis and Neko Case, and a completely unique songwriting form of their own. And noticed they were, leading to the band's most significant outing to date – an opening slot on Bad Religion's 2019 fall tour to packed venues across the country. Through the opportunities and fans EDMP gained from this tour, they have expanded their audience to a national scale and have accumulated over 1 million plays on Spotify collectively from Emily's three solo albums and their debut album together, Same Old World.Emily's voice is an emotive one to say the least, and the often stark, introspective lyrics they write with expert precision are consistently front and center—commanding attention, undoubtedly. Emily's lyrical vulnerability on mental health, particularly regarding their experiences with bipolar disorder, is palpable but written in a manner that still feels relatable.  A former Cigarettes After Sex Member—most notably playing guitar on their 2012 EP “I.”'s sleeper hit song, “Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby”— Emily's guitar playing especially in their own band's mix is no joke. They strum with a level of intensity unmatched by most, crafting the parts in a way that is entirely complementary with their voice. The other members of EDMP only add to that power and vulnerability, with each member bringing their skilled performances to the mix to further empower each song.  EDMP has some significant accomplishments under their belt, even beyond their 2019 run with punk legends Bad Religion. In 2017, Emily toured solo with Bad Religion frontman Greg Graffin, supporting his at-the-time recently released solo record, “Millport”. In 2019 alone, the band opened for Leftover Crack, The Toasters, Authority Zero, and alt-rock cult superstars Cold War Kids. They were about to head out on tour with El Paso-based rock legends Sparta this last Spring, but had to put that plan on pause due to COVID-19. Still, Emily Davis and The Murder Police haven't let the pandemic hinder their progress, having just completed their second successful crowdfunding campaign. The band raised an impressive $13K to finance their upcoming second record, coming Spring of 2021. Their debut record, “Same Old World” was released on October 5, 2018 as the result of a similarly successful crowdfunding campaign. The full band's debut record featured a mix of 90's-inspired alt rock, folk and punk, to form a sound that Emily has no doubt continued to curate and perfect for their upcoming second full-length, “Never A Moment Alone.”We want to hear from you!

The Candlecreeps finally arrive at the market in Millport and attempt to track down the source of Candlekeep's seemingly cursed books? Will diplomacy prevail, or will it end in utter chaos like the Saskatoon Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in-store of 2005?

A chance encounter on the road to Millport gets waaaay out of hand for the Candlecreeps, in the second installment of our playthrough of "Mazfroth's Mighty Digressions" from "Candlekeep Mysteries".

The primary purpose of this show is to share advice and experiences to help people who are in college, thinking about college, or just curious about how it works.

Grace is from Williamsburg, Virginia, but has traveled to many places and grew up in several countries. After undergrad, Grace plans to go to law school and focus on education law to be an advocate for teachers and students. Icie Wriley is in her first year and majoring in Elementary Education with a minor in Educational Policy and Reform. Icie is from the small town of Millport, Alabama, which is about an hour away from the campus. Icie's long-term goals include as a principal and eventually a superintendent of schools as well as earning a doctorate degree. Hannah Clayborne is a junior majoring in collaborative special education with a minor in educational policy and reform. Hannah also grew up in a very small town in central Massachusetts. Hannah believes education is a great equalizer and if every child in America had access to a quality education, many more people would have the ability to create the life they envision for themselves. Hannah's long-term goals include working as a teacher and researching and writing education policies.The Did You Know segment describes a free resource for finding specific information about colleges in the United States.
