  • Lemi Berhanu Hayle Targets Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Record, by Paul Gains
    Lemi Berhanu Hayle Targets Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Record, by Paul Gains Many are the athletes who target course records and victory in the weeks preceding a major marathon, but few can achieve this glory. Ethiopia’s Lemi Berhanu Hayle, however, has the fast times and experience to match his bravado. The 24-year-old - he turns 25 tomorrow, September 13 - has confirmed he will attack Philemon Rono’s Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon course record (2:06:52) on October 20th. With Rono also committed to this year’s event, plus last year’s champion Benson Kipruto, Lemi’s addition to the field sets up a compelling showdown for the CAN $30,000 first place prize and, if things go right, CAN $40,000 course record bonus. Lemi is held in such high regard by Ethiopian selectors that he was selected to his nation’s 2016 Olympic team (he finished 13th). Earlier that year he won the 2016 Boston Marathon. But it was his victory at the 2015 Dubai Marathon in 2:05:28 - the fourth fastest time in the world that year - which introduced him as a world-beating athlete. Though he was beaten during his Dubai title defence in 2017 he came away with a new personal best of 2:04:33, in second place. Against this backdrop a Toronto course record assault is more than viable. “My target is to have the course record time and of course to win the race,” he says adding he will ask the pacemakers to go through halfway in 1:03.

    Nonprofit Security Grant Program Threat Incident Report: January 2019 to Present November 15, 2020 (Updated 02/22/2021) Prepared By: Rob Goldberg, Senior Director, Legislative Affairs [email protected] The following is a compilation of recent threat incidents, at home or abroad, targeting Jews and Jewish institutions (and other faith-based organization) that have been reported in the public record. When completing the Threat section of the IJ (Part III. Risk): ▪ First Choice: Describe specific terror (or violent homegrown extremist) incidents, threats, hate crimes, and/or related vandalism, trespass, intimidation, or destruction of property that have targeted its property, membership, or personnel. This may also include a specific event or circumstance that impacted an affiliate or member of the organization’s system or network. ▪ Second Choice: Report on known incidents/threats that have occurred in the community and/or State where the organization is located. ▪ Third Choice: Reference the public record regarding incidents/threats against similar or like institutions at home or abroad. Since there is limited working space in the IJ, the sub-applicant should be selective in choosing appropriate examples to incorporate into the response: events that are most recent, geographically proximate, and closely related to their type or circumstance of their organization or are of such magnitude or breadth that they create a significant existential threat to the Jewish community at large. I. Overview of Recent Federal Risk Assessments of National Significance Summary The following assessments underscore the persistent threat of lethal violence and hate crimes against the Jewish community and other faith- and community-based institutions in the United States.

    1 COMPOSING DIGITAL COMMUNITY SPACES: DESIGN AND LITERACY PRACTICES IN/OF THE ARCHIVE A dissertation presented by Kristi Tillene Nadira Girdharry to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts August, 2016 2 COMPOSING DIGITAL COMMUNITY SPACES: DESIGN AND LITERACY PRACTICES IN/OF THE ARCHIVE by Kristi Tillene Nadira Girdharry ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University August, 2016 3 ABSTRACT This dissertation offers a case study of Our Marathon: The Boston Bombing Digital Archive & WBUR Oral History Project by exploring the relationships between the creation of the archive, the use of the archive, and the narratives the archive tells on its surface and in its stories. More specifically, it looks at how Our Marathon adheres to/departs from traditional archives through its state as a digital archive, its attempt to both historicize and memorialize an event, and its focus as a community project. This dissertation takes advantage of offering a real-time examination of the digital archive’s role in capturing the artifacts and reflective practices of people affected by the tragic events of the Boston Marathon bombings through a mixed-methods approach; it draws upon primary research, the archive itself, and the researcher’s own participation in designing and building the space. To add to ongoing conversations on digital archives in Rhetoric and Composition scholarship, because of the complicated nature of the term “community” and because of a gap in understanding how these types of digital community sites function in the world, this dissertation aims to open up a conversation on building spaces for public writing and how the sponsors of these spaces impact participation and representation.

  • 2016 Boston Marathon by the Numbers | Wallethub®
    4/22/2016 2016 Boston Marathon By The Numbers | WalletHub® 2016 Boston Marathon By The Numbers by John S Kiernan 118 Shares The Boston Marathon is more than the country’s premier long-distance running event and a Patriot Day centerpiece for Bay Staters. The heinous acts of two troubled young men on April 15, 2013 turned “Boston Strong” into a national rallying cry and transformed the event into a 26.2-mile tribute to American resilience. But the Boston Marathon must not be characterized by the violence of that day; rather by the fact that we continue to show up and run freely year after year. Symbolism aside, a spot in the Boston Marathon is a prestigious position, as the field is limited to just 30,000 people, 80% of whom need to beat an age-based qualifying time in a previous marathon to even have a chance. Such is why thousands of qualifiers are left bib- less each year, with $180-$240 in savings representing their sole silver lining. It is those competitor dues, combined with funding from benefactor John Hancock and a roster of 22 corporate sponsors, that fuel the event’s $830,500 purse, helping to lure Olympic-hopefuls and other top talent in the process. That elite field, the holiday atmosphere and even the annual 11:05 a.m. start time for the hometown Red Sox contribute to Marathon Monday’s party vibe, bringing roughly half a million people to line the course each year and https://wallethub.com/blog/boston­marathon­fun­facts/20499/#ray­castle 1/10 4/22/2016 2016 Boston Marathon By The Numbers | WalletHub® providing a $182 million boost to the local economy.

There are no anti-terrorism/counterterrorism strategies that are taught and used by local agencies. The purpose of this qualitative grounded theory study was to explore how small and midsize local law enforcement and emergency management departments prevent and interdict terrorism before it happens in their communities.
