We Need to Talk About Greece:
Why Acknowledging Racism Is The First Step To Fixing It
Omaira Gill Journalist
Greek Studies Now
On 24 May 2021, I was invited to be part of a very important conversation organized by Greek Studies Now: A Cultural Analysis Network and hosted by TORCH, The Oxford Research Centre for the Humanities.
Along with Rutgers University's Sadia Abbas, Brown University's Johanna Hanink and Generation 2.0's founder Nikos-Deji Odubitan, I was invited to share my thoughts on the issue of ethnicity and race in Greece. The talk pivoted around a phrase we often hear in Greece: "We have never been racist": a phrase that figured in the roundtable's title as a provocation and thus a starting point for the discussion.
To begin to address a problem, we first have to acknowledge that it's there, and so the first step for me is to grab this phrase and take it apart, to debunk this idea that Greeks are not racist.
Greeks have a very long history of interacting with races and cultures around the world but the fact is that it is simply not true in the lived experience of ethnic minorities in this country to say that there is no racism in Greece, or that ethnicity is not a visible aspect of life here. That's not to say that Greece's issue with race is among the most problematic in Europe, in my opinion it's not. But the subject of our talk was Greece, and so it was my experience in Greece that I focused on.
Greece is an extremely uniform country in terms of race and religion. Where this becomes an issue is with the mainstream dialogue that surrounds the issue of race and ethnicity.
As ethnic minorities here can attest, if you grow up in Greece as a visible ethnic minority, even if you are born here, you still have to prove that you are more Greek than the Greeks. It's also not uncommon for ethnic minorities who celebrate their approval of Greek citizenship with social media posts to receive abuse along the lines of trolls saying that they cannot be Greek because 'you are born Greek, you do not become Greek.'
This hostility has historically not only been experienced by visible foreigners. It is also ethnic Greeks that have experienced this in the past as we've seen during refugee flows from Asia Minor, Pontus and elsewhere - even these populations, although identified as Greek by the Greek state, were categorised by their otherness and initially rejected by Greek society.
I do believe that Greeks like to think that they are not racist. This belief stems in part from a quite commonly held belief that to be racist, you have to physically attack someone. I have sat through a baffling conversation during which I brought up racism in Greece where I was challenged to list the times I had been attacked in Greece, which is zero. "Then how can you say that Greece is racist?" the other person, a Greek, asked me, resting his case that my perception of racism was all in my mind.
I've come across this mindset again and again, but as people who have experienced racism know it's very often that we experience small aggressions building up over time rather than one violent episode. You don't have to spit on someone or beat them up to be racist.
I would like to add to the conversation around race in Greece by reflecting on my own experience of how there was a shift in discourse during the years that I lived here.
I moved to Greece in 2006, before which I lived in the UK. At that time, I don't remember feeling uncomfortable or unsafe. There were one or two instances during which I wore traditional dress while I was moving around the city for formal events or just because it is more comfortable in the Athenian summer, and I would get very intense and intrusive stares, but they did not feel hostile. I compare this to something like this: if I saw a lady on the London tube wearing a kimono, that's unusual so I would be curious and I would look. It was harmless curiosity.
However, there was a sharp change in the atmosphere in the build-up to Golden Dawn's rise to power in 2012. When as an ethnic minority you start to hear racist discourse become normalised in the conversations around you, even among the people you know, it's very unsettling, but still I had the hope that it was only the venting of frustrations due to the severe economic crisis Greece was facing. We've seen in many countries that economic pressure makes the population look for a scapegoat, and it's usually outsiders. Greece is not at all unique to have experienced this phenomenon of an economic crisis driving the far right to power.
But when Golden Dawn actually began to win seats, this opened a floodgate. Suddenly it was okay to express extremely racist views, it was as if people got permission to bring the worst of their feelings to the surface, even people I knew who I considered friends or family. And this is when things began to feel dangerous. This was when I, like many others in my position, began to self-censor. I felt afraid for my safety. I stopped wearing traditional clothes outside the house and I tried to keep conversations with people I didn't know to a minimum in case I made a mistake with my Greek or my accent gave me away.
All the while, I was told that I was paranoid, but this wasn't the case. Around us, the attacks on ethnic minorities began to escalate and very little was done. It was only when a Greek was murdered by Golden Dawn that the authorities realised that things had gone too far and tried to pull in this monster that they had allowed to grow out of control.
I recall that part of my lived experience of Greece's history as one of the darkest for me. It is very unsettling to see the danger coming your way and to have everyone around you tell you that you're imagining it, and to feel that if you got into trouble, the authorities you turn to for help might not help you because Golden Dawn allegedly has infiltrated the Hellenic Police.
It's a great comfort to be here today looking at that period in time in the rear-view mirror, but still it's an important lesson for how things like that can get out of hand in a country which famously regards itself as not racist.
For those of us who have lived in Greece long enough, becoming a Greek citizen is one of our biggest goals. Here too we face hurdles and misinformation. I have been through the process and I can tell you that it's complex and time consuming. It is stringent in its requirements of language and knowledge of history and current affairs. Until recently it was a verbal exam, which was very open to abuse and the examiner's own biases around race and ethnicity interfering in the applicant's exam prospects.
Amid this, I constantly heard about how this or that government was handing out citizenship like candy to Pakistanis or whoever the unwanted ethnic minority of choice was at the time. Having been through the process from start to finish, and being the proud holder of Greek citizenship as of just over a month, I can tell you that nothing was handed to me on a plate. Meanwhile, the criteria to meet in order to apply for Greek citizenship have now gotten even more narrow in a process which was already known for being extremely selective and convoluted.
So how did we get to this point? One of the biggest problems in Greece today is who controls the narrative, and I say this as a journalist. The media in Greece is highly concentrated in a few hands, and standards, especially for broadcast journalism, are questionable. Greek news often carries segments on crimes - robberies, attacks and the rare homicide - and they make a big effort to point out the ethnicity or nationality of the accused. So you'll hear 'two Albanians broke into such and such place' or 'a Pakistani man' or 'a person with a foreign accent.' It led to me avoiding saying where I was from when asked. The conversation simply carried too much negative weight when I said I was from Pakistan.
So for a while, I started saying that I was from Guyana. It's obscure enough not to have too many questions asked, and it was liberating to not have a litany of follow-up questions about why there were so many criminals from my country of origin.
This distinction of a criminal's origins is never made when the perpetrator is Greek. What does this do? Over time, this drip feeds a narrative of foreigners, especially dark-skinned foreigners, as dangerous criminals who contribute nothing to society. What this does for the vast majority of us ethnic minorities who call Greece home is that it places an impossible burden on us. To counter this very small but very amplified group of deviants, we have to play the role of the exceptional immigrant. But let's face it, we can't all be Yiannis Antetokounmpo, most of us are very unremarkable, ordinary citizens living ordinary lives, working, paying our taxes, and raising our families.
How do we address this issue? We first need to acknowledge that it's there. There are a lot of surveys and pieces of research which illustrate that Greeks are not as accepting of outsiders as they would like to think they are.
In 2019, the Pew Research Centre found that Greeks were least likely of all countries surveyed to say that immigration should increase or stay the same, with 82 percent feeling that fewer or no immigrants should be allowed into the country.
Second only to Hungary, Greeks also felt that immigrants burdened their country rather than made it stronger. Fifty nine percent of Greeks also felt that immigrants are more to blame for crime in their country than other groups, the highest of all surveyed countries.
Greece is also facing a very serious demographic issue. In 2019, data from ELSTAT showed that there were 83,763 live births versus 124,965 deaths. This meant that there were 41,202 more deaths than births, the highest gap recorded so far.
Apart from boosting the birth rate of the native population, which will be slow to yield results, Greece needs immigrants to survive, keep the economy running, and pay the pensions of a rapidly aging population. If this situation isn't remedied, projections show that Greece's population could more than halve by 2100.
But turning to the solution of immigration to fix Greece's dismal demographics should not mean only white immigrants. Greece's future depends on being able to accept a non-white population into its ranks as equals who are welcome here, rather than constantly placing barriers in our way and asking us to repeatedly pledge our allegiance in a way that native white Greeks are not asked to do. This would also counter the right-wing narrative of the slow erasure of the white population in Greece by immigrants - the aim of an immigrant is not to erase but to add to growth, both in economic and societal terms.
There is a duality here at the same time, because even though Greekness is seen as whiteness and Europeanness, survey after survey shows that Greeks don't like being told what to do by the European Union. The EU carries its own undertones of colonialism and the narrative of the white master resented by his subjects, while at the same time Greeks see themselves as white in certain contexts. Is this an overreaction to the paranoia of being one of Europe's easternmost outposts? Is it an attempt to shake off all the years of Ottoman occupation, during which and immediately after which European visitors described Greeks as more Eastern than European, e.g. sitting cross-legged on the floor rather than on chairs? It's an interesting paradox that needs further examining because the whiteness by which Greeks perceive themselves is pronounced when compared to migrants, but dulled when contrasted to northern European or Anglo-Saxon populations - Greeks would bristle against the idea of belonging to the same ethnicity there, and would rather identify as Mediterranean or simply 'Greek'.
It may seem that there is a lot to be pessimistic about, but I don't feel that way. I'm starting to see more difficult conversations around me, including initiatives such as this one, and these conversations can only lead to positive change.
It is always hard to accept that a problem exists. The natural reaction is to reject that there is something wrong with the country that you are proud of, or to be told that it's worse elsewhere and that if I have such a problem with racism in Greece, I can leave. Greece is home for me. It's the country I have had three children in and which I plan to live out my days in. When you love a country, it's your duty to work to make it better and better, rather than brush its blemishes under the carpet, even if that conversation is a difficult one to have.
But if Greece can acknowledge that there is a problem, it will be the first and very important step to fixing it and creating an atmosphere where everyone in Greece can not only survive, but can also be welcomed and thrive.

The Latest: Schilling: Probe into company was a 'witch hunt'
SCITUATE, R.I. (AP) The Latest on the investigation into Curt Schilling's failed video game company finding no criminal violations (all times local):
Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling says authorities investigating the failed deal with his video game company were sent on a ''witch hunt.''
WPRI-TV asked the former ballplayer on Friday for his reaction to Rhode Island authorities announcing they found ''no provable criminal violations'' of state law after a yearslong investigation into Schilling's 38 Studios.
Schilling replied on Twitter he's ''disgusted'' that authorities were sent on a ''witch hunt.''
He says Rhode Island could have saved millions if officials realized years ago that there were no criminal violations.
His lawyer couldn't immediately be reached to comment further on his behalf.
Schilling's company relocated to Rhode Island from Massachusetts in 2010 in exchange for a $75 million state loan guarantee. It later went bankrupt, leaving taxpayers on the hook.
An investigation into former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling's failed video game company, 38 Studios, has resulted in no criminal violations.
Rhode Island State Police Col. Steven G. O'Donnell and Attorney General Peter Kilmartin announced the results of the yearslong investigation Friday.
They say there are ''no provable criminal violations'' of state law. Nearly 150 people were interviewed and thousands of documents reviewed.
O'Donnell says a bad deal doesn't always equate to an indictment.
The former ballplayer's company relocated to Rhode Island from Massachusetts in 2010 in exchange for a $75 million state loan guarantee. It later went bankrupt, leaving taxpayers on the hook.
The state's economic development agency sued Schilling and others who aided the deal to try to recoup the money.
Rhode Island authorities are announcing the results of the criminal investigation into Curt Schilling's failed video game company, 38 Studios.
State Police Col. Steven G. O'Donnell and Attorney General Peter Kilmartin are scheduled to discuss the results Friday at State Police Headquarters in North Scituate, Rhode Island.
They declined to release any details of the years-long investigation beforehand.
A criminal investigation into the deal was launched and the state's economic development agency sued Schilling and others who aided the deal to try to recoup the money.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission also sued, alleging that investors were defrauded.

Providing unique and high quality soy lecithin powder and fluid for pet food.
What is soy lecithin? Is soy lecithin the same as soy? These are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding our soy lecithin products.
Adds more value to functional foods than any other lecithin on the market.
DuPont Nutrition&Health offers a wide range of lecithins that deliver the functionality our customers need. Although the word lecithin is derived from the Greek "lekithos," which means "yolk of an egg," the primary sources of our lecithins are the soybean, sunflower or rapeseed, and they set the standard for quality and reliability.
Lecithin consists of a naturally occurring mixture of phospholipids, glycolipids, neutral lipids and sugars, which allows it to interact well with other ingredients in food, Lecithin serves as a multi-purpose functional ingredient or a processing aid and also provides consumers with recommended nutrients. Lecithin has long been used in the food industry to serve many different functions, in industries from bakery to confectionery to culinary and more.
Using specialty processes, we have extended lecithin's functionality and physical characteristics to create a wide variety of products.
Soy lecithin is a source of the essential nutrient, choline, which is available in some foods and as a supplement in granule form. There is some evidence that the essential nutrients found in lecithin and choline (phosphatidylcholine) may play a role in memory and cognitive function, as well as liver function. Emerging evidence also indicates that choline may play a role in physical performance.
Our SOLEC® range can serve a variety of applications such as baked goods, snacks, margarines and spreads, chocolate, instant products, beverages and dietary supplements. We also offer lecithins especially developed for pet food, which are sold under the ENHANCE® brand.

Q: incompatible types: java.util.lang.String cannot be converted to stringdemo.String I am new to Java and about halfway through my first Java course. This weeks lab assignment instructions are:

*

*Create a New Project named StringDemo

*Write a method called backward() that accepts a String object as an argument and displays its contents backward. For instance, if the string argument is "gravity" the method should display -"ytivarg". Demonstrate the method in a program that asks the user to input a string and then passes it to the method.

*Write a method called wordCount() that accepts a String object as an argument and returns the number of words it contains. In this case, we will assume blank spaces separate words.  For instance, if the argument is "Four score and seven years ago" the method should return the number 6. Demonstrate the method in a program that asks the user to input a string and then passes it to the method. The number of words in the string should be displayed on the screen.  (Hint: the split() String method could be useful.)
I am currently on problem 2, but I am receiving this error on my keyboard input line:

incompatible types: java.util.lang.String cannot be converted to
  stringdemo.String

Can someone please tell me how to correct this?
Thank you.
import java.util.*;

public class StringDemo {
    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String input;

        // Create a Scanner object for keyboard input
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

        // Get user input
        System.out.print("Enter a word or phrase to be reversed: ");
        input = keyboard.nextLine();

        // Reverse the input using StringBuilder
        StringBuilder input1 = new StringBuilder();
        input1.append(input);
        input1 = input1.reverse();

        for (int i = 0; i < input1.length(); i++)
            System.out.print(input1.charAt(i));
    }

}

A: You need to remove or rename your stringdemo.String class. Java linking rules dictate that classes in the same package are matched before the language classes, which means your
String input;

is being interpreted as
stringdemo.String input;

and not as
java.lang.String input;

Perhaps this should be titled "Have Plans" since, depending on your circumstances, you might have more than one plan.
You should have a Family Plan, one developed with input from everyone living in your home. People with special needs should have plans that address these needs. If your family includes a pregnant woman or a mother with a small infant, or if a family member that is elderly, disabled or sick – a plan can ensure that their special needs are provided for.
Remember that a written plan can ease tension and anxiety in a stressful situation. A plan contains a list of actions, and assigns these actions to family members. A plan provides control in emergency situations. You may not be able to do anything about the track and strength of a hurricane, but planning gives you control over your family's level of preparedness. An action list can become a checklist with dates and times by which certain actions should be completed.
Plans can be changed and you can even plan for those changes. Planning means you can spot some of the problems and difficulties ahead of time – and plan for them.

Killing more than 25 women, Russian "Volga madman" was arrested
in Criminal
According to the British newspaper The Guardian, Russian investigators announced that the perpetrators of 25 murders have been arrested – the suspect has been called "Volga madman" for many years.
According to the Russian commission of inquiry, the suspect is a 38-year-old man named Radik Tagirov, who confessed to 26 consecutive murders of elderly women between 2011 and 2012, which caused panic in central Russia. Investigators said that he had been identified through DNA evidence, shoe prints and other crime scene evidence.
It is reported that Tajirov once cheated charging workers, plumbers or utility workers into the apartments of elderly women living alone.
Once in, he would subdue the women and strangle the victim with bare hands or using nearby objects, including aprons and clotheslines. The vast majority of victims are over 70 years old.
The killers in these cases often robbed the victims, but in some cases, he did not take valuables. He wears gloves and will deal with the crime scene before leaving to hinder the investigation of law enforcement officials.
According to the report, most of these murders occurred between 2011 and 2012, and were recorded in Kazan, Samara, Tauriati, Izhevsk, Ufa and other cities in Russia. Other cases are suspected to have occurred in Urals, but the exact number of victims has not yet been determined.
The serial killer appears to have calmed down after 2013, but the 2017 killing frenzy that took place in the area again caused public concern.
In 2019, Russian police offered a reward of about 30,000 pounds to collect clues that could arrest him.

When the central airport was still operating, it always smelled of kerosine in this part of Berlin. The Schiller-Kiez in north Neukölln between Hermannstraße and airport-area ended abruptly at a kilometres-long chain-link fence, through which one could see the silhouette of the city far away beyond the airfield. Once in a while one could observe walkers, who were stunned by this view for minutes: A huge, trespassing-forbidden, field – right in the middle of Berlin.
Since the air-traffic stopped and the area opened for the public in 2008/09 everything changed: In the quarter around the Schiller-Promenade, originally a place where workers and later unemployed persons and students used to live, with old buildings in the need of renovation and low rents, now shops were setting up that you did not see there before: cafes, in which one can get a Latte Macchiato or a Club Mate, a wine store, street- and club-wares; an artsproject-room and a gallery, in front of which a English, Spanish or Italian-speaking party-crowd is standing during vernissages. Of course, on the streets you still mainly hear German-Turkish or –Polish and there are far more "Pilsator"-pubs than trendy Bars. But the face-lifting of this once so pale quarter is continuing: it is getting more colourful and lively. During summer there is an endless caravan of young model makers, kite- or inline-skaters moving between the metro-stations Boddin- and Leinestraße and the former air-field, from which one day – who knows? – some sort of Berlin Central Park may emerge; And its surrounding could be, if one follows the conceptions of real estate developers, the so called "Tempelhofer Freiheit" for higher-income earners. The sound of trolley cases on cobbled pavement already announces this new social structure, which is inevitably changing the Schiller-Kiez into an urban renovation area. If that new constellation is also going to be a creative one, depends on the interpretation of the term "freedom".

Q: Can you locally map a dynamically loaded JS file (using sourceURL)? I understand this might just be impossible but when you're making JS available for easier debugging in devtools via the helpful //# sourceURL comment, I'd also like to map it to its respective local file, for easy editing.
Clarification on #// sourceURL=dynamicScript.js:

Note: Notice the "//# sourceURL=dynamicScript.js" line at the end of dynamicScript.js file. This technique gives a name to a script created with eval, and will be discussed in more detail in the Source Maps section. Breakpoints can be set in dynamic JavaScript only if it has a user supplied name.

The sourced file now exists in Sources under "no-domain", and is unable to map to my workspace's dynamicScript.js file.

A: You can map your local web app directory to a server path, so that you can live edit the JS file that evaluates some code, but there is no way to map the dynamically generated named script to a file on the system as far as I'm aware.

If you use eval to execute code from a string, adding //@ sourceURL=dynamicScript.js' simply tells Chrome to simulate that script being an actual file, so that you can debug etc. The file doesn't actually exist, it's in memory. The dynamic 'file' cannot appear as part of a local workspace because it simply doesn't exist on the system.


I knew from the first moment I opened the promotional pack of Busy Nippers Pads and Bags that these items would definitely become a part of our hotel. now when children come in and order a children's meal, we simply grab a bag and tell the parents that 'this will keep them entertained for a while!. We love seeing how happy the parents are that we have the activity packs available.


It is nothing but a scam created by thieves to steal your money.
Global Trans Group! is the safest way to buy and sell on-line. The Buyer checks the quality of the merchandise before autorizing the payment, and allows the Seller to use a safe way of accepting payment by credit cards.
All funds remain in an intermediary trust account until the transaction is concluded.Deposits & payouts are instant.
Global Trans Group! offers a safe and convenient alternative to bank transfers, bank drafts or personal cheques when purchasing merchandise on-line from unknown sellers.
Global Trans Group! allows the Sellers to accept, with an average cost.
It adapts to the clients' requirements, guaranteeing that the seller and the buyer can work on-line on the terms and conditions of their transactions in a clear and efficient way.
Both parties agree to terms, which includes a description of the merchandise, sale price, number of days for the Buyer's inspection, and shipping information.
Either the Buyer or Seller signs in and creates a transaction. If either the Buyer or Seller is not a registered user, they must register with Global Trans Group Company. Registration is free.
The initiating party confirms the information entered, and agrees to the escrow instructions. The other party is notified by e-mail from one of our escrow officer in order to agree to the terms of the transaction provided by the initiating party.
When payment is received, it will be verified and secured into a non-interest bearing trust account.
After payment is secured, the Seller is notified by us to ship the merchandise to the Buyer.
The Seller ships the merchandise to the Buyer using our delivery service.
The Seller must initially pay for the shipment of the merchandise. If the Buyer is responsible for paying the shipping costs, the Seller will be reimbursed when the transaction is complete.
When the Buyer accepts the merchandise or the inspection period expires (at which point, the Buyer automatically accepts), the disbursement of payment will begin.
Payment is sent to the Seller with ThirdPary-Service fees and shipping costs deducted, if applicable.
If the Buyer accepts the merchandise, the Seller will be paid. We will send a check to the Seller via USPS, International Mail or other shipping service.
Very simply defined, an ThirdParty-Service is a deposit of funds, a deed, or other instrument by one party for the delivery to another party upon completion of a particular condition or event.
• Why do I need ThirdParty-Service?
Whether you are the buyer, seller, lender, or borrower, you want the assurance that no funds or property will change hands until ALL of the instructions in the transaction have been followed. The ThirdParty-Service holder has the obligation to safeguard the funds and/or documents while they are in the possession of the ThirdParty-Service holder, and to disburse funds and/or convey title, only when all provisions of the ThirdParty-Service have been complied with.
Be sure to choose an independent licensed ThirdParty-Service provider, who is 100% neutral, licensed by the Department of Corporations (DOC), requiring adherence to the most stringent standards in the industry and whose sole business is providing ThirdParty-Service.
• How does ThirdParty-Service work?
The principals to the ThirdParty-Service (i.e. buyer, seller, lender, borrower) cause ThirdParty-Service instructions, most usually in writing, to be created, signed, and delivered to the ThirdParty-Service officer. If a broker is involved, he/she will normally provide the ThirdParty-Service officer with the information necessary for the preparation of your ThirdParty-Service instructions and documents.
The ThirdParty-Service officer will process the ThirdParty-Service, in accordance with ThirdParty-Service instructions, and when all conditions required in the ThirdParty-Service can be met, the ThirdParty-Service will be "closed." Each ThirdParty-Service, although following a similar pattern, will be different in some aspects as it deals with YOUR property and the transactions at hand.
The duties of an ThirdParty-Service holder include: Following the instructions given by the principals and parties to the transaction in a timely manner; Handling the funds and/or documents in accordance with instructions; Paying all bills as authorized; Responding to authorized requests from the principals; Closing the ThirdParty-Service only when all terms and conditions have been met; and Distributing the funds in accordance with instructions and provide an accounting for same - the Closing or Settlement Statement.
• Who chooses the ThirdParty-Service?
The selection of the ThirdParty-Service holder is normally done by agreement between the principals. If a real estate broker is involved in the transaction, the broker may recommend an ThirdParty-Service holder. However, it is the right of the principals to use an ThirdParty-Service holder who is competent, and who is experienced in handling the type of ThirdParty-Service at hand.There are laws that prohibit the payment of referral fees. This affords the consumer the best possible ThirdParty-Service services without any compromise or bias caused by a person receiving a referral fee.
What if the transaction isn't completed? Is my deposit refundable? Who pays the fees?
When a transaction fails to close, a cancellation agreement must be reached between parties. This cancellation agreement must be put in the form of a written instruction, just as your contract was. Since the deposit is part of the ThirdParty-Service contract, both the buyer and the seller must mutually agree to its disposition.
Instructions for the disposition if this deposit should include, among other things, provisions for the payment of charges incurred during the ThirdParty-Service. This would include fees and costs incurred by the escrow holder and charges such as loan processing and title insurance fees as specified in the ThirdParty-Service instructions.

Tour The Campus
SC Illegal Immigration Reform Act
¡Bienvenidos a Trident Tech!
Trident Technical College is mandated by state law to verify a student's residency before the student can be granted in-state status and tuition.
Home » Get Started » Before You Start » Residency Requirements
Residency in South Carolina is not a requirement for admission to Trident Technical College. Applicants must provide documentation to demonstrate residency, based on SC law and Commission on Higher Education regulations (www.che.sc.gov), which will determine the tuition level charged for classes taken at TTC. The initial residency classification is determined from information provided on the college application at the time of admission (or readmission) to the college.
The Application for Classification as a South Carolina Resident should only be used by students who applied to TTC or are currently taking classes. Your TTC credentials (username and password) are required to access the form once you click on the link above. You will receive notification via your my.tridenttech.edu email once your application has been reviewed for consideration.
There is a difference in tuition and fees for residents of South Carolina and also for residents of Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties and nonresidents of these areas.
Military personnel may present orders for local active duty and may need to provide additional documentation for dependents who are not listed on orders.
In determining the legal residency status of a student, South Carolina law differentiates between students who are independent and those who are still dependent on a parent or guardian. If the student is dependent, state law provides that the student is presumed to have the same residency status as the parent or guardian on whom he/she is dependent. S.C. Reg. § 62-603(B) specifically provides that "the residence and domicile of a dependent person shall be presumed to be that of their parent, spouse, or guardian." Therefore, in the typical case, where a student is dependent on a parent or guardian, that student's residency is presumed to be that of the parent or guardian.
Where the student is dependent on a parent or guardian who has an undocumented immigration status, the preliminary residency decision will typically be that the student qualifies as a "non-resident alien." According to Commission regulations, a "non-resident alien" is defined as "a person who is not a citizen or permanent resident of the United States. By virtue of their non-resident status 'non-resident aliens' generally do not have the capacity to establish domicile in South Carolina." S.C. Reg. § 62-602(K).
However, where that student is also a United States citizen, state law only presumes that the student is a "non-resident alien" like the parent or guardian on whom he/she is dependent. That presumption is rebuttable, and the burden remains on the student to rebut that presumption, if possible, by presenting evidence to establish that he/she is entitled to in-state residency status notwithstanding the undocumented status of his/her parent or guardian.
A dependent student seeking classification as a South Carolina resident will not be automatically disqualified from receiving instate tricounty tuition because of the citizenship or immigration status of their parent(s) or guardian(s). Staff should advise students that the immigration or citizenship status of a student's parents(s) or guardian(s) will not automatically disqualify them from receiving these benefits. For U.S. citizen students with undocumented parents or guardians, state-issued identification documents and other typical indicia of residency may not be available to the parents. In such cases, staff should work with the student to obtain alternate proof of the parents' residence and domicile in South Carolina, including but not limited to the other documents listed in S.C. Code Reg. § 62-605(C), as well as utility bills, lease documents, medical and school records, and other records that may indicate domicile. No particular document or combination of documents shall be conclusive in every case; rather, in all cases, regardless of the citizenship or immigration status of the parents or guardians, staff shall endeavor to determine whether South Carolina is the true, fixed, principal residence and place of habitation as set forth in S.C. Code Ann. § 59-112-10(D), based on the information and documentation submitted by the student. In all cases, the student has the burden of proving fulfillment of the requirements for in-state tuition and attendant benefits.
To resolve a residency status, complete the residency application and submit it to the Admissions office by the last business day before your first term begins.

Dutch tech innovators to pilot floating solar at North Sea wind farm
Dutch innovation firm TNO will pilot a minimum 0.5 megawatt-peak (MWp) floating solar plant at the planned Hollandse Kust (North) offshore wind farm to be built by the CrossWind consortium.
The consortium, a joint venture between Shell in the Netherlands and renewables firm Eneco, plans to put Hollandse Kust (north) along with a green hydrogen hub in the port of Rotterdam, into operation in 2023.
Shell New Energies awards contracts for two Dutch solar plants
The most powerful energy storage project in the Netherlands announced
Nevada's NV Energy signs PPA for utility-scale solar+ storage project
Floating solar is expected to make an important contribution to the energy transition. The Netherlands is predicted to have two hundred gigawatt-peak (GWp) of installed solar energy capacity in 2050, 45GWp of which will be offshore and 25GWp on inland water bodies. Important research themes for offshore solar energy are the robustness and reliability of such systems, the energy yield and the ecological effects.
Wiep Folkerts, program manager for solar energy applications: "TNO congratulates the Crosswind consortium on being awarded the project. We are proud to be part of this great project and we are happy to be able to make an innovative contribution to renewable energy generation in the North Sea. A combination of offshore wind and solar energy can become an important factor in achieving the climate goals."

Q: Fire-and-forget in .Net Core Web API - approaches and observations We have a .Net Core 3.1 Web API that, towards the end of the request processing flow, deep in the services layer, needs to complete a fire-and-forget task.
Disclaimer: I am aware that the approach taken is generally considered less than ideal, but it has been accepted by the team, along with its risks.
Below is the current solution in a nutshell:
public class MyService
{
    public readonly IServiceA _serviceA;
    public readonly IServiceB _serviceB;

    public MyService(IServiceA serviceA, IServiceB serviceB)
    {
        _serviceA = serviceA;
        _serviceB = serviceB;
    }

    public void FireTheTask(MyData data)
    {
         _ = Task.Run(() => Submit(data));
    }

    public async Task Submit(MyData data)
    {
        try {
            var result = await _serviceA.CallSomeService(data); // uses HttpClientFactory

            if(!result.Success)
            {
                _serviceB.SaveData(data); // for offline processing
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            // Log error to file here.
        }
    }
}

Both serviceA and serviceB are registered as transient and injected through DI.
There's technically a risk that the main request will complete sooner than Submit(), and serviceA and serviceB will no longer be available.
However, my consistent observation is that even if Submit() starts with, e.g., await Task.Delay(30000), it still successfully completes, 30 seconds after the main request has completed, and a response is returned from the API.

*

*Can anyone please comment on / explain this observation?

*If there's a risk of the above code not working reliably, would the solution below be correct (assuming no objects from the main request scope need to be referenced by the services)?
public class MyService
{
    public readonly IServiceScopeFactory _scopeFactory;

    public MyService(IServiceScopeFactory scopeFactory)
    {
        _scopeFactory = scopeFactory;
    }

    public void FireTheTask(MyData data)
    {
         _ = Task.Run(() => Submit(data));
    }

    public async Task Submit(MyData data)
    {
        try {
            using var scope = _scopeFactory.CreateScope();

            var serviceA = scope.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<IServiceA>();
            var serviceB = scope.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<IServiceB>();

            var result = await serviceA.CallSomeService(data); // uses HttpClientFactory

            if(!result.Success)
            {
                serviceB.SaveData(data); // for offline processing
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            // Log error to file here.
        }
    }
}

*Would any transient services that serviceA and serviceB depend on (i.e., have injected via their constructors) be taken care of by this solution?

*Could this solution be further improved or simplified, and if so, how?
Thank you.

A: As you mentioned in comments, the services referenced MyService are not disposable.
That is, when the DI scope is closed, nothing happens with those instances, and the code which has references to those services can access them.
However, you're worrying right, that there might be issues with the services when they are transient and they are used like in your fire-and-forget example. You solution is right - the Submit method lifetime doesn't depend on the Request lifetime, and vice versa, therefore yes, you create a separate scope for this.

I understand that both solutions are technically acceptable, correct

I see here only one solution - the one with scope. If you mean the original code, then it is a bad idea, even if it works now. It will break once you add any dependency to your service, which can be disposed(or its dependency, or … and so on).
So, answering the questions:

*

*See this answer

*Yes

*Yes

*I don't see improvements here apart from syntax sugar, which everyone puts depending on the taste.

P.S. you can see this answer it may help to understand di lifecycle


Certified companies like SecureIdentity have to work to published government standards when they verify your identity. To do this, they have to look at a range of evidence and checks to establish that you are who you say you are – no single piece of evidence is sufficient. There are five elements involved, and the company has to achieve specific thresholds in each one before they can verify someone's identity.
Your asserted information of name, date of birth, address and gender is used to find the relevant credit reference file which we then use to create questions, the answer to which only that user is likely to know. You're generally not providing information to us, rather you are confirming the information that is held in the data sources we reference is or is not correct.

The apartments today are nearly empty since most students have vacated in anticipation of the closure. Some have been offered spots at Solano Park, a sister property on the opposite side of campus. Other residents have moved off campus altogether, some seeking shelter in lower-rent areas like Woodland and Sacramento.
A proposal to demolish Orchard Park and replace it with new apartments has drawn fire from some residents, who cite the increased rent as unmanageable. The backlash has forced the school to rethink its plans, but residents are still being told to leave by July 31.
"A lot of people are confused," said resident Caroline McKusick, 24, a doctoral student in anthropology. "It's not like on July 31 these roofs are going to collapse on our heads."
Jeffery Gibeling, dean of graduate studies, is organizing a committee of students and faculty members to make recommendations on the future of graduate student housing. The affordability of family housing on campus, he said, has become a "graduate student welfare issue."
"If we want to attract the very best graduate students, we need to provide them with financial support," said Gibeling, who is also a professor in chemical engineering and materials science. "All the planning we did before has stopped. We're starting with a fresh approach."
He added that all options are on the table, including renovations and redevelopment.
Orchard Park and Solano Park are UC Davis' only university-operated housing complexes other than the freshman dorms. The demolition of Solano Park may not be far off either, with campus, city and county officials looking to redevelop the area into a neighborhood called the Downtown University Gateway District.
English doctoral student Tom Johnson, 31, is watching the process with a wary eye. The Solano Park resident and father of three children said he chose to attend UC Davis because of the low cost of campus housing.
"I can't afford to live in the city of Davis," said Johnson, who like many other graduate students on this campus opposes the redevelopment plans for the parks properties. "We've already looked into the cheapest options."
The previous $80 million redevelopment plan for Orchard Park envisioned a mix of 431 units for graduate students, families, other students and campus staff. Under the proposal, which officials began exploring in 2009, rent would range from $876 for a one-bedroom unit to $2,165 for a three-bedroom unit depending on the type of housing, according to the university.
The hope was to take some of the profits from the market rate housing to subsidize the rent for graduate students, said Robert Segar, assistant vice chancellor of campus planning. The developer would have paid UC Davis $550,000 annually for the ground lease privilege.
Rent was slated to rise to $1,026 for a two-bedroom graduate student unit when the complex opens in 2016, while a market rate unit would be leased for $1,665.
To voice their dissatisfaction, residents and community members launched a sit-in at the Student Housing office last month. They also have sent letters to UC Davis Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi, and an online petition has garnered 780 signatures so far.
During a meeting Thursday night in Orchard Park's dimly lit community room, residents vowed to continue the fight. They still hope the university will consider extending their lease until January in the wake of the latest decision to halt construction.
"It's an insult to all those who have made it through school with these apartments," McKusick said of the university's plans.

Trustpower: Digital Transformation – A better way of working
"The purpose of the Paper Intelligence initiative was primarily to enable people to work more effectively."
With a goal of efficiently delivering services to its thousands of customers across New Zealand, Trustpower, a publicly-owned company, listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX), has recently embraced a new way of operating which reflects the way in which people prefer to work.
As part of the company's move of its Tauranga head office to a new building, a decision was made to introduce Activity Based Working which had a key objective of mobile-enabling staff. Previously large quantities of paper had characterised many processes, restricting staff to their desks.
Alice Thomson, Strategic Initiatives Manager at Trustpower, explains that with a move to a new building, the company wanted to simultaneously change the way that its people work, through an initiative dubbed 'Paper Intelligence'.
Trustpower worked with Fujifilm Process Automation to identify and automate paper-intensive work processes to enable staff to work more effectively. A smart application process platform was implemented by Fujifilm to take charge of the paper-intensive business processes, enabling Trustpower to meet their 'Paper Intelligence' objectives. "For example, during the project we scanned in just under 58, 000 pages – that's 58, 000 pieces of paper which we no longer have to store. In another piece of work, we have the quite stunning visual representation of how the removal of paper has seen a 40-foot container full of documents reduced to a single flash drive," Thomson relates.
As she has implied, the company continues to actively seek out and target paper-based processes for improvement.

Excellent Locations
Exeter is privileged to have two city centre sites: its historic core on Turl Street, and the award-winning Cohen Quad, opened in 2017. Both are within a few minutes' walk of city centre amenities such as cafés, pubs, and shops. The University Science Area, and other faculty buildings, are around 10 minutes' walk away.
The college's Library, Hall and beautiful Chapel, are all located on Turl Street, within sight of Oxford's dreaming spires, and the historic Radcliffe Camera and Bodleian Libraries. The Fellows' Garden (which is open to students) provides an oasis of tranquillity from the bustle of the city, and in the summer months is used by students to relax in. A terrace at the back of the college affords a panoramic view of the famous Radcliffe Square.
Cohen Quadrangle (Cohen Quad for short) opened in 2017, is an inspiring modern building with a spacious auditorium, café and bedrooms for students on the edge of the popular Jericho district of the city.
Exeter's diverse range of places to eat, and the food and drink on offer gives students plenty of choice. Students can eat in the traditional Hall, the more relaxed college bar, or the modern Dakota Café at Cohen Quad. Students can choose to attend any of the Formal Halls and enjoy a three-course meal in the company of friends in the main Hall. Students also have access to kitchens if they wish to cook for themselves.
A Welcoming Community
Exeter has an international atmosphere, with undergraduates, graduates and fellows from across the world. The college hosts visiting students from Williams College, USA as part of the Williams at Exeter Programme in Oxford. As a mid-sized college, Exeter has a warm environment where people quickly get to know each other.
Exeter's community spirit is also fostered by social events such as celebrations to mark Thanksgiving, Diwali, Hanukkah, and Burns Night, screenings of election night TV coverage in Exeter's stunning Hall, and regular 'subject family dinners', when students studying similar subjects have a formal meal together and share ideas.
Academic Rigour
Exeter offers world-class teaching in small groups from tutors who are experts in their fields, giving Exeter students the chance to learn from the best and develop intellectually. The College Library is home to 50,000 volumes on open access shelves, and is open 24/7 for students to use. If students need a book that isn't currently in the library, they can request its purchase, or visit the vast legal deposit Bodleian Library just next door.
Exeter's programme of Rector's Seminars, where prominent experts speak about a range of topics, lets students engage with ideas and concepts from beyond their own subject. Guest speakers have included Olympic medal-winning athletes, an England footballer, a former member of the Cabinet, ambassadors, entrepreneurs, an actor and comedian, historians, political scientists and many other leading figures.
The College has also hosted a number of larger events – free to its students and alumni – which have included talks from JK Rowling, Peter Jackson, Kofi Annan, Rowan Williams, and Philip Pullman.
Exeter College distinguishes itself by providing at least three years' accommodation to its undergraduates, either on Turl Street, at Cohen Quad, or a mile away in fashionable East Oxford. First year undergraduates are all accommodated on Turl Street, at the heart of the college. In later years undergraduates have more choice of accommodation, and the option of living in privately rented accommodation if they wish.
First year graduate students can normally all be accommodated at the College's graduate accommodation centre on Iffley Road. This includes flats of various sizes, which are ideal for graduate students with family or partners.
Undergraduate Accommodation

This semester in English 1100, I have experienced a less stressful and therefore easier to learn from classroom environment. Every other English course I have taken is very tedious as well as grammar and reading geared. This english course was somewhat of a break from the cramming of painful confusing knowledge. It definitely balanced out my semester in terms of the load of work as well. I actually enjoyed reading the Boyle stories as opposed to high school where they handed you a book and told you to have it read by Friday. In that case I usually used Sparknotes Friday morning and then went to class and made an A on the test. I feel like I recieved more out of actually having the time and motivation to read the short stories in the Boyle book however. Every time we had a story I would read it and then take notes on the character description and the page it was on, as well as the series of events in the story. This helped me greatly when I wrote my Boyle paper because I already had all of the connecting events laid out in front of me.
Im pretty sure that Ive made a C in this class this semester because I have never really scored higher than a C in a writing intensive English class. My writing just isn't that great. I did not benefit from the opportunity you provided to edit our papers. If I had not been so lazy and had actually gone to get my paper edited by you when I had the time, I have a feeling I would have done a lot better.
Through out this whole semester of English, I have really enjoyed your sarcasm and sense of humor. It actually motivated me to come to class. I enjoy how personal and light humored the classroom setting is, I also really don't like having exams so Im glad that there are none for your class. I did my best to get you again next semester for English 1200 at the same or a later time, but my only available option was an 8 am. So just for you Bates, Im waking up at 8am three mornings a week to come to class. Hopefully it will be worth it and I will have the same pleasant experience next semester.
