France's World Cup win can't hide underlying tensions over race and class
July 17, 2018 thelocal Leave a Comment
The success of the multi-racial French national team that was hailed by jubilant fans of all ethnic backgrounds masks persistent underlying tensions in the country around race, identity and class argues academic Joseph Downing from the university of Aix-Marseille in an article for The Conversation. The French football team has won the 2018 World Cup, 20 years after it triumphed on home soil in 1998. "Les Bleus", as they're called, are back in the nation's good books, celebrated for their excellent performance in this year's tournament, right through the 4-2 win over Croatia in the final. Out of the limelight and the glare of success in Russia 2018, however, a question continues to dog French football – the role of race and class in the selection of national players. On the surface, this may seem strange with the attention given to the multicultural harmony of the 1998 World Cup-winning team. The straight-talking former captain of the French national team, Zinedine Zidane, recently said of his country's 1998 win: "It was not about religion, the colour of your skin, we didn't care about that, we were just together and enjoyed the moment." This echoed the sentiment of the times, that a multicultural team of united "black, blanc, beur" (black, white or Arab) players had united under the cause of the French national team to lift the World Cup for the first time. Triumph, on the football field, demonstrated that integration had been successful in France and anyone could reach the top of French society. Zidane,… [Read full story]

The Lee and Hayley Show comes to WBKO-FOX this May
By Laura Rogers
Published: Mar. 31, 2021 at 12:11 PM CDT
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - May in Kentucky brings the most exciting two minutes in sports. It's also about to bring an exciting hour of daytime television to WBKO-FOX featuring a familiar face to longtime viewers.
"The Lee and Hayley Show" features co-hosts Lee Cruse and Hayley Harmon. Harmon previously worked as a reporter and anchor at WBKO a decade ago. "I am over the moon because WBKO is where I got my start and it's where I really got my feet wet in this business, and it's where I got excited about the TV business. I am excited to be back home in Bowling Green," said Harmon. "If I had not worked at WBKO I wouldn't be here, so it's just truly a dream and such a homecoming."
Cruse and Harmon are known for their easy banter and natural chemistry. Cruse said the rapport was instant when they first met. "That was sort of kismet right off the bat. We just got along really well. We were working together on a morning show for another station and then we developed this talk show because I thought this could happen."
Today that talk show that Cruse and Harmon built from the ground up has become its own company. "We control our own destiny and we get to share what we believe are gifts with other people and we can't wait...to come visit you guys and hopefully make you laugh and help you decompress for at least an hour," said Cruse.
Harmon said she's looking forward to exploring the Bowling Green area again. "I'm excited to see the newness in Bowling Green and the growth, but I'm also wanting to take Lee to some of my favorite spots and old hang-outs and haunts and see all the sights."
The show shoots daily at WTVQ ABC36 in Lexington and is expanding into syndication, including in Bowling Green and Starkville, Mississippi.
"The Lee and Hayley Show" will air at noon CST on WBKO-FOX starting Monday, May 10.

Lorelle Semley, To Be Free and French. Citizenship in France's Atlantic Empire, Cambridge University Press, 2017
Collection Critical Perspectives on Empire, 382 p. ISBN : 9781107498471 Prix : 24,99 £ (existe aussi en version numérique)
Présentation éditeur :
« The Haitian Revolution may have galvanized subjects of French empire in the Americas and Africa struggling to define freedom and 'Frenchness' for themselves, but Lorelle Semley reveals that this event was just one moment in a longer struggle of women and men of color for rights under the French colonial regime. Through political activism ranging from armed struggle to literary expression, these colonial subjects challenged and exploited promises in French Republican rhetoric that should have contradicted the continued use of slavery in the Americas and the introduction of exploitative labor in the colonization of Africa. They defined an alternative French citizenship, which recognized difference, particularly race, as part of a 'universal' French identity. Spanning Atlantic port cities in Haiti, Senegal, Martinique, Benin, and France, this book is a major contribution to scholarship on citizenship, race, empire, and gender, and it sheds new light on debates around human rights and immigration in contemporary France. »
Lorelle Semley is an Associate Professor of History at the College of the Holy Cross, Massachusetts, where she teaches courses in African history, the African diaspora, and gender studies. Her research has been facilitated by fellowships at the John Carter Brown Library, the W. E. B. Dubois Research Institute, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. Research grants have supported travel to Benin, Brazil, France, Great Britain, Martinique, and Senegal. Previous works include Mother Is Gold, Father Is Glass : Gender and Colonialism in a Yoruba Town (2010) and articles for Law and History Review, Radical History Review, and Gender and History.

For cattle rustling, rodeo, and award-winning Texas BBQ, book a room at the recently opened Marriott Courtyard Fort Worth Historic Stockyard. The 121-room hotel is just steps away from all that the historic Stockyard neighborhood has to offer. Watch the twice-daily cattle drive and then head over to Cooper's Old Time Pit BBQ.
This new $8 million garden-to-table experience offers guests the opportunity to enjoy fresh fare from vegetable, herb, and fruit gardens at the Dallas Arboretum, and Botanical Garden. Signup to watch local chefs prepare garden-to-table cuisine in the testing kitchen, and enjoy eating it in the new 3,600-square-foot garden pavilion overlooking the Dallas skyline. Set to open in the fall of 2017, it is the perfect "foodie" group activity.
Football fans shouldn't miss a visit to this 91-acre campus that hosts the world headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys in Frisco, TX. In addition to the practice facility and corporate offices, The Star features the Ford Center -- a state-of-the-art indoor football stadium (with room for 12,000) that hosts a full calendar of events. Stay in the 300-room luxury Omni Hotel that is scheduled to open this summer.
It's no wonder that Dallas has so much to offer, with its progressive mix of cowboy culture, Southern charm, and chic modernity. According to recent Census figures, Dallas is one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the nation. "Dallas has low labor costs, is centrally located, and easy to get to from either coast with two beautiful airports, and our room rates are competitive. We have a good business story to show and tell," VisitDallas President and CEO Phillip J. Jones recently stated.
The "Big D" has a lot to offer meeting planners, from 26 diverse neighborhoods with over 77,000 boutique, budget, and luxury hotel rooms, to more than 12,000 restaurants with everything from upscale Thai, to Texas BBQ, to other eclectic choices.
The greater Dallas•Fort Worth area is just a three-hour flight from either coast, and visitors should consider using DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit). The longest light-rail in the country, it stops at 64 stations, including the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
The temperate Texas weather can be enjoyed at the Hilton Anatole Hotel's new $15 million pool complex, JadeWaters. Featuring a lazy river, splash zone with two 180-foot slides, swim-up bar, multiple swimming pools, and luxury cabanas, the 1,606-room hotel will open the complex on May 29. Like shopping? The Westin Dallas Galleria (located in the Galleria retail area) recently revamped its 448 rooms and 54,000 square feet of meeting space. The newly opened, dual-branded Aloft and Element Dallas Love Field hotels offer a combined 224 rooms and 6,500 square feet of shared meeting space, a fitness center, and an outdoor swimming pool. The eco-friendly property is tech savvy, too. Guests will have access to a Relay robot from Savioke, which can assist guests with small deliveries, like small hand towels and toiletries.
Next year, the Dallas Design District, home to hip boutique shops, artisanal cocktail bars, and gourmet burger joints, will welcome a 200-room Virgin Hotel, along with Dallas' first Dream Hotel, a boutique property located in the trendy Uptown neighborhood. The iconic Statler, which opened its doors in 1956, and quickly became an American icon, will soon rise again. Thanks to a $175 million redevelopment, the property, complete with 161 renovated hotel rooms and a live-music venue space, is scheduled to open later this year.
Groups can book unique event venues like the Community Beer Company, the City View Terrace at the Renaissance Hotel, or enjoy the natural beauty of the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, which will soon have a garden-to-table dining experience to offer its guests or for groups to rent out.
Nearby Fort Worth and Irving, TX, are enjoying new development as well. The Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas will gain a 350-room Westin (with 16,000 square feet of meeting space) in the winter of 2018. Recently updated, the Worthington Renaissance has 504 renovated rooms and almost 60,000 square feet of event space in downtown Fort Worth. Along with the Fort Worth Convention Center, unique venues abound in Fort Worth. Check out the Mopac Event Center (up to 300 guests) where the d•cor reflects a modern Texas spirit of industrial arts meets rustic cowboy. Or visit the 5,000-square-foot brick warehouse taproom at the Wild Acre Brewing pub.
Irving's Four Seasons Resort and Club Las Colinas is a popular choice for large groups, with over 39,000 square feet of meeting space, plus 431 guest rooms and suites. A luxury resort with all the trimmings of an exclusive country club, guests can unwind at its award-winning 18-hole golf course. The Firestone & Robertson Distilling Co., a whiskey distillery set in a reclaimed prohibition-era warehouse complete with 53-gallon bourbon barrels and copper pots, is a fun destination. Sample blended whiskeys and bourbon made on site and rent out one of the four function spaces available for special events, like the 13-foot-by-14-foot bank vault that is utilized as a special meeting room.
Fort Worth is most certainly "worth" exploration -- especially for foodies. Sample Mexican-style street tacos at Salsa Limon or farm-to-table fare at Clay Pigeon. And don't forget to explore Magnolia Avenue: The city's newest neighborhood development for foodies, craft brewery aficionados and music lovers is a mile-long smorgasbord of innovative restaurants. Try Heim BBQ for dinner and Funkytown Donuts for dessert.

They say the friends you make in college will be your friends for life, but I never thought it could be true.
Walking onto campus the first day of my freshman year of college — I was terrified. I knew absolutely no one, I was in a brand new city, and I was an hour away from my family.
I'm sure everyone can relate to the intimidating first-day-of-college experience. It's pretty common, and it makes sense that people would be nervous in a situation like this. But even the stories I've heard that start like mine, scared and alone, usually don't take long to get to the point where those people make friends and join clubs a couple weeks into the year and start to have the time of their lives.
For me, it didn't happen quite as quickly. In fact, it took about three months into my first semester of college before I finally formed any friendships. I think this is partly because I was afraid any new friendships would somehow replace my best friend's from home, as if I had a limited number of spots in my life.
But finally, I realized that making new friends doesn't mean I don't love my hometown friends any less, just that they can't always be there with me and that it's okay to let new people in.
And I'm still extremely close to the first friend I made in college, which tells me that maybe the torturous, friendless months were worth it.
To the amazing people that I've met in college, the ones I've formed irreplaceable bonds with thank you for being you, and more importantly, embracing me for who I am. I never imagined I would feel so comfortable around a group of people I've known for less than a year. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I'd add more human beings into the "best friend" category of my personal relationships.
But then again, I never could have pictured meeting people like you guys. People that I have so much in common with it's actually kind of scary. People who not only understand my sense of humor but share it and add to it. People who push me and celebrate my achievements.
You turned my college experience upside down, in the best way possible. You made it easier to breathe in a city I knew nothing about. My homesickness fades so far into the background when I'm around you guys that sometimes I forget it's there at all.
Thank you for sharing my love of insane TLC reality shows, of the "19 Kids and Counting" and "Sister Wives" variety. Thank you for sharing my deep appreciation for artists on both ends of the musical spectrum, from Amy Winehouse to One Direction. Thank you for not giving me weird looks when every other sentence out of my mouth is a vine quote. Thank you for somehow sharing both my love of Broadway musicals and the "Twilight" saga movies.
For a while, during my first month or so away at school, I genuinely thought I'd never make a single friend. And when I finally did, I never thought those friendships would be meaningful or last longer than a semester. But the fact that I have such great connections with you all, the fact that some of my favorite memories took place alongside you, shows me that the universe had plans for me all along.
To my emotionally unstable, emo-music loving, lush-obsessed, musically gifted Cleveland friends who are capable of making me laugh harder than I ever have: words can't describe how thankful I am for you. You made what should have been one of the scariest years of my life, my first year of college, easier than I ever could have done on my own. And more importantly, because of you, I have more people in my life that I know I'll be friends with for years to come.
While we may be apart for the holidays, we'll be back in the same zip code soon enough, and I can't wait for all of the amazing memories we're bound to make this year.

Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation (FinU or Financial University) (Russian: Финансовый университет при Правительстве Российской Федерации) is a public university located in Moscow, Russia. It is considered among top five universities in Russia according to Forbes and RBC as well as one of the oldest Russian universities preparing economists, financiers, philosophers, bankers and financial lawyers.

FinU had several bygone names:
 Moscow Institute of Economics and Finance (1919–1946)
 Moscow Finance Institute (1946–1990)
 State Finance Academy (1991–1992)
 Finance Academy under the Government of the Russian Federation (1992–2010)

Financial University consists of eight faculties, 40 departments, three institutes, two high schools, two research institutes, eight centers, two training – science laboratories, a network of regional offices – 11 branches and four offices open in seven regions of Russia.

The university graduates include the third wealthiest person in Russia, Mikhail Prokhorov, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Khloponin, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, Governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai Lev Kuznetsov, CEO of Gazprombank Andrey Akimov and some others who have taken up leading positions in politics, business and academia.

History
History of Financial University started in December 1918 when the People's Finance Commissar decided to create a specialized financial institution of higher education – the first in the history of Russia – Moscow Institute of Economics and Finance. It was opened on 2 March 1919, and its first rector was  – the Moscow State University graduate, the Deputy People's Finance Commissar of RSFSR. In September 1946, the institute was consolidated with Moscow Credit-Economic Institute training students since 1931. As a result of merger of these two institutions of higher education Moscow Finance Institute was formed, with Nikolai Rovinsky as its rector. It began with two thousand students and four faculties: Finance, Economic, Accounting, Credit, Monetary Economics, International Economic Relations. The Military Department opened later, in 1947.

In 1991, Moscow Finance Institute was renamed to "State Finance Academy" and in 1992 Russian President Boris Yeltsin changed its name to the "Finance Academy under the Government of Russian Federation" giving a governmental status to the institution.

On 14 July 2010, the Russian Government approved a new Charter for the institution changing its name from the "Finance Academy" into the "Finance University" and made it an official consultative body to the government.

On 4 March 2011, KPMG opened its own department at the university to enhance cooperation based on lectures and practical activities covering audit, International Financial Reporting Standards, taxation and corporate finance.

Elie Smith, Fowlerville girls basketball
After beating Williamston just once since 2008, the Gladiators can now say that they doubled that in this season alone. The Glads stressed that their goal was to win a district title for the first time since they can remember, and they knew they would have to get past Williamston to get there. Well, with 14 points and four rebounds from Smith, Fowlerville beat the Hornets twice in as many tries, this time to secure a district title. In total, Smith had 51 points in three district contests, including wins over Lansing Catholic and Lansing Sexton.
Emily Messner and Whitney Sollom, Hartland girls basketball
Sollom easily had the week's best basketball game with her 18-point, 10-rebound, 10-block triple-double in the Eagles' district championship blowout of South Lyon. But both Sollom and Messner were equally important to Hartland advancing that far. Sollom and Messner both scored nine points in the district opener vs. Brighton, and then both had double-doubles — Sollom with 11 points, 10 rebounds and Messner with 12 points, 12 boards — in a huge upset of KLAA Gold Division champion Howell. Hartland has now won seven district titles in the past nine years.

Joey Larson, Hartland hockey
The Eagles went on a tear to open up the Division 2 state tournament, winning all three of their games via mercy rule and outscoring opponents by a combined score of 29-0 in the contests. Larson was the leader, tallying a hat trick vs. Lakeland, returning with two scores and four assists for a six-point game vs. Walled Lake Northern, and scoring one more and notching two helpers vs. West Bloomfield. On the week, he had 12 points, an even six goals and six assists.
MORE: Another shutout, another regional hockey title for Hartland
Kyle Kantola and River Shettler, Hartland wrestling
Although the pair of Hartland juniors couldn't quite pull it off and become individual state champions on Saturday at the Division 1 individual wrestling tournament, that two still had stellar seasons for the Eagles. Both Kantola and Shettler finished as runners-up in their respective brackets, Kantola at 125 pounds and Shettler at 160 pounds. They also managed to keep the matches within respectable range, despite a pair of monster opponents.. Both will return next year as likely favorites in their weights.
Mason Shrader, Brighton wrestling
Although Shrader ultimately took sixth — which is still a coveted all-state spot — it's very likely the Brighton freshman would have placed higher on the podium, perhaps as high as third, if not for an injury keeping him out of action during the second day of the Division 1 individual wrestling tournament. Shrader was phenomenal en route to the 103-pound semifinals, and lost to the eventual D1 champion, Macomb Dakota's Brock Prater.
MORE: Hartland's Kantola, Shettler are state runner-ups; 13 county wrestlers earn all-state
Mathew Kahra, Brighton hockey
Kahra earned ridiculously high praise last week, with his coach Paul Moggach calling him "amazing" and stating he would miss the senior "more than any player I've ever coached." Well, Kahra certainly showed why in Brighton's three games last week, recording six goals and three assists en route to another regional championship. Kahra notched two goals and an assist in each of Brighton's three games, including the regional final vs. No. 2 Orchard Lake St. Mary's, which Brighton knocked off, 3-1, to end its season for the third consecutive year.

Scott Sinclair makes admission about Celtic form, this will help club remain unbeaten
Danny Wright
22nd March 2017 at 5:58pm
By Danny Wright
Scott Sinclair has admitted that Celtic have not been playing their best in the past few games but believes the international break gives them a great opportunity to regroup and finish the season unbeaten.
A draw against Rangers in the Old Firm derby was only the second time the Bhoys have failed to win a domestic match this season.
They did return to winning ways the week after despite it being a nerve-racking 2-1 victory over Dundee.
Sinclair believes that the international break is vital for his side's chances of going the entire Scottish season unbeaten as they look to secure a domestic treble.
The 27-year-old has been a key attacker in Brendan Rodgers' plans this year, smashing 18 goals in 39 appearances in all competitions in his debut season at the Glasgow club.
"We were not at our best in the last few games – the draw against Rangers and then the win at Dundee," said Sinclair, as quoted by the Daily Record.
"We've done so well this season and the expectation is so high, people expect us to win 3-0 every week.
"Football is not like that but now we have a break to refresh and go again."
Following the less than impressive win at Dens Park on Sunday, Rodgers has two weeks to let his side get themselves up for a visit to Hearts on April 2.
The trip to Edinburgh is the first of three games in a six day period which also includes home clashes with Partick Thistle and Kilmarnock.
Sinclair, formerly of Aston Villa and Chelsea, is the second highest goalscorer in the Scottish Premiership this season with 15 goals in the league.
Only his Hoops teammate Moussa Dembele has found the back of the net on more occasions during the campaign.
In other Celtic news, Kolo Toure has been an incredible claim about this Parkhead rookie.

Jamal Ford-Robinson has given the fledgling Chris Boyd era at Northampton his seal of approval – even though the Kiwi decided he didn't want the prop on the Saints roster for 2019/20.
The 2017 member of the England squad that toured Argentina has exited Franklin's Gardens holding no grudges against the coach whose decision left him seeking out pastures new at Gloucester.
"As a player who got released from Saints without that being my plan, it would probably make it a lot easier for me if I didn't agree with the decisions Chris had made and I could hold a grudge, but one of the things that has come from being a bit older is seeing things from a different perspective," explained Ford-Robinson in an interview with the Northampton Chronicle.
"I can't say anything bad about the club and I would have made exactly the same decision they made. I spoke to Chris at one of our end-of-season socials and said the same thing to him.
"I like to think we've got a good relationship and it's great to see the young boys like Alex (Mitchell), Lewis (Ludlam) and Teimana (Harrison) getting some recognition. The club is in great hands."

— Northampton Sport (@chronsport) July 3, 2019
Now 25, Ford-Robinson is exiting after a two-season stint at Saints where he feels he didn't consistently showcase his best rugby. "I don't think I even came close really because although I racked up a few games, they were normally off the bench," he said.
"In the second year, I was unlucky with injury early on and when I came back, the ship was starting to settle and you can't really ask for any changes when that happens.
"If the same coaching team had been around in the second year they'd have known what I did in the first year – I played more than 20 games – but the coaches changed and then I got my injury, so you got the worst of two worlds in terms of being able to prove yourself.
"If you're a big dog walking around with loads of England caps, the coaches know what you're about but when you're in a position where you need to break through and prove yourself and you can't start doing that, you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
"I picked up what seemed like a nothing injury during a wrestling session and there didn't seem to be an incident that happened. I wasn't like, 'Oh, my knee's gone', it just started to swell up later in the day and I had scans, which showed I'd done my knee cartilage.
Well, that's that then.
A post shared by Jamal Michael Ford-Robinson (@jfordrob) on May 5, 2019 at 7:19am PDT
"It kept me out until September, October time and my comeback game was up at Newcastle in the A League and that set it off, which kept me out until Christmas time.
"The time I came back was when they were getting the scrum sorted and you can't ask the coaches to mess with something that's not broken. If I was in Chris' position, I'd have made exactly the same calls all the way."

Editor's Note: The opinions expressed in this article do not reflect the views of the BlueStocking newspaper, but rather the views of two members of its staff.
There are always going to be few things that we would like to change about the college we attend (like GDH dinner on Saturdays), but at the end of the day, we're a family. It is easy to bite the hand that feeds us, and lash out at the end of the year to try to "stick it to the man," despite all of the opportunities that we have been given. It's easy to forget all that "the man's" done right.
You've probably guessed that we are talking about "the man" being Presbyterian College, in reference to its faults being earlier described in a regrettably harsh article that seemed to exploit misconceptions. Those feelings and opinions are that of a select, particular few. Several of us at the BlueStocking who disagree with said article now wish to share a few of our own thoughts and opinions on how great we think our school is. Now, that being said, there is always room for improvement, but until those improvements are made (which our school is working very diligently on), we want to share some things we love about Presbyterian College.
PC is a beautiful campus, and that early morning walk to class is excellent motivation to prepare someone to learn. Maintenance works around the clock to keep the campus in tip-top shape for all of us to enjoy. The early morning lawn mowing and leaf blowing may get on our nerves at times, but at the end of the day, we're proud of how beautiful our campus is. Organizations like Greenhose help keep our campus green and efficient, helping set us apart from other schools. One of the best things about PC is that our campus will only get better as Dr. Lilly and the administration continue to make improvements around campus.
The most unique feature of PC is its people. Presbyterian College has some of the most dedicated faculty and staff. The professors on campus are enthusiastic, sharp-witted, and a bit quirky in the best of ways. It is difficult not to get excited when you show up to a theatre class and have Professor Ragland prepared with some theatre warm-up games cued and ready to get your energy levels soaring. And then there's Dr. Gearheart, one of the nicest men you will ever meet. Not only will he sit outside of class with you during one-on-one study sessions, but he also understands the need to get into that one chemistry class that will actually fit in your schedule that is already jammed full. Speaking of chemistry, our organic chemistry professor Dr. Ott is a great professor who will help you pass Organic Chemistry, whether by staying late after class or having Skype sessions on Saturday mornings before a big test. He's willing to do whatever it takes to get his students where they need to be. PC's math department also is truly dedicated to your success. Even if they may be a little pushy when it comes to choosing your major, they are genuinely interested in making sure you're on the right path. So many PC professors are willing to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to filling out that major card! Honestly, we could write hundreds of pages about how amazing our professors are.
The staff at PC will do whatever it takes to make sure you have a great experience at here. Starting at orientation, Ms. Rush dedicates hours to planning fun activities and making the transition into college life as smooth as possible. Ms. Downie is amazing at making sure you find the right career for you—she will spend hours with students in her office listening to all their worries, and she's always extolling the achievements of her students. The housekeeping staff at PC is always working hard to make sure our dorms are clean—whenever we run into Ms. Lee, she's always smiling. And how amazing is it that Miss Yolanda knows all of our names? Susan Gentry-Teasley is an amazing source for students going through difficult times at campus. She's always willing to listen to her student's issues and help them make the best decisions when they are struggling through hardships.
Sure, the Wi-Fi is a bother from time to time with its outages and occasionally faulty connection, but hey, for a campus that only got Wi-Fi three years ago, you can be sure that the staff in charge of the Wi-Fi are trying to make it as seamless as possible. Mr. Les Jones, head of Resnet (PC's tech department), is constantly occupied with making sure routers are working. And when Georgia Hall flooded and students had to stay at Thornwell, Les was hard at work making sure that those students had a router that they could use. Yes, it was hard to maintain, and Wi-Fi was often hit or miss, but to actually go through the effort of installing routers while it was blazing hot out, going from one building to the next before freshmen got moved in, you could bet anything on Mr. Jones being out there when he needed to be, hard at work, trying to make our time at PC a little easier.
Every college is made up of buildings, professors, and equipment, but what makes PC unique is its people. After our time at PC is over, we will be faced with the task of finding careers or seeking further education, competing against students from colleges across the country. Those that will support us and help us meet our goals are current students, fellow peers, professors, and alumni. If we don't support one another, no one else will. Attending Presbyterian has truly been an amazing experience for all of us, and we know that when we leave this place, we will have left a legacy on the place that we love and will be well equipped for all of our future endeavors.
All of these experiences at Presbyterian College have shaped each and every one of us as students. Just think about yourself coming in as a freshman and look at yourself now. Do you even resemble the same person? The nurturing environment here encourages you to grow. Sometimes it even coerces you—when you have to greet everyone you cross paths with, you begin to realize that you're less of an introvert than you used to be. All in all, we're so grateful for this college and these people. We love our PC family!
I feel like this article could have been posted without the unnecessary attack of a, poignant, well-written, and true article, published by the same newspaper. There is nothing wrong with loving PC, and the previous article mentioned (which is sadly not on this site) addressed that very love for this institution. Part of my own love for this school is that it challenges me to think critically and to not stay silent on issues many of its professors have encouraged me to identify and address.
There are a multitude of problems that exist on countless levels at PC, and if we do not address them, if we continue to feel the pressure to remain silent while people do not feel safe, cared for, or prepared, PC will never be the place it is supposed to be, and the place it likes to claim it is. The reality of the matter is that this is a difficult place for many students, and when one argues that people should simply be grateful and adapt a kind of blind and encompassing love for an institution, it is denying the reality of the struggles created by the shortcomings and negligences of the school.
There is nothing wrong with loving PC and talking about why we love PC. We all love this school, if we don't, we wouldn't be here. I hope people will learn to accept criticisms not as attacks, but ways to better our school and better our world. PC has a lot of great things going for it, many of them were truthfully identified in this article, but there are so many ways it still needs to be challenged so it can grow, and I would hope that, being a liberal arts college that values critical thinking, people will stop being quite so offended by this.
I agree with Helen completely. It is great to love your school. I love PC and would not trade my experiences here for anything. But, this article could have been written without attacking another author's opinion. That is, in fact, what you're writing about isn't it? Your opinion? So why, then, is it considered "[lashing] out at the end of the year to try to "stick it to the man" when someone else is doing the same as you? — voicing their opinion. Opinions should be valued and respected whether they are different from yours or not. This school is amazing, but PC DOES have things it needs to work on just like every school does. If people are too scared to voice their opinions about the problems, they will never be fixed. This is a great article that points out many of the amazing things about PC, and I appreciated reading it. But, it could have been written without attacking other's opinions.
I feel like this post is nothing more than an attack to "defend" PC from what is being perceived as hurtful comments from Harrison's post.
Sure our professors are top notch, but when was the last time the school gave each person in the faculty a raise? I know of a professor that worked here for over 20 years and didn't receive a raise in their entire tenure. If PC actually cared about its professors it would pay for what they are worth, that's not including job security and benefits, which they earn everyday whether in the classroom, in their office, or at their homes when they host events.
And as for the WiFi, we've had it for two years not three (it was installed the summer before the 13-14 school year). And since this institution went fully digital roughly five years ago, reliable WiFi should be a priority like water and light in every building on campus. It doesn't make any sense for financial aid, housing registration, and course registration to all take place online, and for us to not have access to the internet wirelessly anywhere on campus. Have you ever gone back to your room and the faucet just didn't draw water into your sink or perhaps it chortled out in chunks at certain hours in the day? As a learning institution that functions digitally, WiFi is a utility, not a luxury.
To keep it 100, this current administration was handed 10lbs of crap in a 5lb bag. The previous administration did not do a good job handling money by any stretch of the imagination, but that shouldn't excuse the administration from any form of criticism.
AND as students, we don't do a good job funneling complaints, criticisms, and concerns in the appropriate channels. It should be common sense that Yik Yak is not the best forum to voice any problem seen on campus, and I know I'm as guilty as anybody on this campus when it comes needless whining. Best advice would be to delete yik yak, trust me. It makes life better.
To be silent in the face of evil is to become evil itself.
Part of the PC family dynamic which we all share no matter if we hold and office or sit in class or clean the floors at the end of the day is knowing that we can voice criticism without being shunned from the table.
I invite you and everyone else that found Harrison's post offensive to turn off your "screw him he's an atheist" alarm and actually read what he has to say. As a Christian, I can say his sentiment isn't limited to humanists on campus.
I personally know that I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for the professors on this campus. Every professor I've encountered has been engaging and caring whether I had a class with them or not. Especially for the Religion and Philosophy department which I belong to, I would not be anywhere without every faculty member of that department; specifically Christian Education as it is my major, but these people that take their time to walk with me and teach me earn well beyond they're currently paid.
Clemson can have their Saturday football hype, USC can have their beautified campus, I would rather have job security, and a well rounded education any day of the week over freshly trimmed hedges and a conference sized stadium.
As a generation, we won't have the money of previous donors. The economy shows that even if the market were to become perfect today, we still wouldn't be able to pay off debts and get a job that allows the majority of us to give to this institution finacially in a significant manner. What we can do is work alongside and with the administration now so that future bluehose may enjoy a better campus, not just a good one.
Criticism promotes growth and I hope that other students come to that same conclusion.
Thanks for sharing excellent informations. Your site is so cool. I am impressed by the details that you have on this blog. It reveals how nicely you understand this subject. Bookmarked this web page, will come back for more articles. You, my friend, ROCK! I found simply the info I already searched everywhere and simply couldn't come across. What a perfect web-site.

Borís Shpilevski (n. Moscú, 20 de agosto de 1982) es un ciclista profesional ruso. Actualmente corre en el equipo continental taiwanés, RTS-Santic Racing Team.

Tras destacar como amateur ganando por ejemplo una etapa y la general de la carrera profesional del Giro del Friuli Venezia Giulia en 2006 al año siguiente debutó como profesional en el equipo Petri Mangimi y poco más tarde, en 2009, fichó por el equipo UCI ProTour del Fuji-Servetto. De esta manera, el ruso completó su escalada hasta un equipo de la máxima categoría del ciclismo mundial tras militar en 2007 en el Continental Kio Ene y en 2008 en el Profesional Continental Preti Mangimi. Shpilevsky comenzó la temporada en el Fuji-Servetto pero su contrato se extinguió en junio del 2009.

Suma casi 30 victorias en carreras profesionales (6 de ellas corriendo como amateur), destacando las conseguidas en la Florencia-Pistoia por delante de Dario Cioni y Giovanni Visconti y, sobre todo, en el Tour de Hainan en China (categoría UCI 2.1), en el que se impuso en el 2008 ganando además seis de las nueve etapas y en el 2009 (siendo esa vez de una categoría superior, 2.HC) ganando cuatro etapas y a priori la general pero tras una sanción de dos minutos por utilizar una rueda de una rival tras un pinchazo le privó de la victoria.

Q: SASS output grouping selectors SCSS
.clearfix.scss {
    background: #000;
}
.container1 {
    @extend .clearfix;
}
.container2 {
    @extend .clearfix;
}
.container3 {
    @extend .clearfix;
}

CSS Output:
.clearfix, .container1, .container2, .container3, .container4, .container5 {
    background: #000;
}

How can I remove this grouping selectors.
Compilied by gulp.
Using this task:
gulp.task('sass', function () {
    return gulp.src('scss/style.scss')
        .pipe(plumber())
        .pipe(sass())
        .pipe(autoprefixer(
            {
                browsers: ['last 15 versions'],
                cascade: true
            }
            ))
        .pipe(csscomb())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('css/'))
        .pipe(connect.reload()) });

A: You are seeing the intended output of the @extend feature. It combines extended selectors in order to result in a smaller file output. You could try using a mixin instead.
SCSS:
@mixin clearfix {
  background: #000;
}

.clearfix {
  @include clearfix;
}
.container1 {
  @include clearfix;
}
.container2 {
  @include clearfix;
}
.container3 {
  @include clearfix;
}

CSS output:
.clearfix {
  background: #000;
}

.container1 {
  background: #000;
}

.container2 {
  background: #000;
}

.container3 {
  background: #000;
}

Home Brewers Making the Postseason: Part IV
Making the Postseason: Part IV
Leo Koenig
For any baseball team with real postseason aspirations, having a solid and reliable bullpen is imperative. Luckily, the Brewers' bullpen has shined this season after being mediocre for most of 2017. It is a huge reason why they have enjoyed overall success in 2018. Although with that being said, not all bullpen arms have been as dominant as Josh Hader and Jeremy Jeffress, most notably 2017 All-Star Corey Knebel, which has raised some concerns, especially towards the end of the first half. Some of that, understandably, can be attributed to the fact that the Brewers had to play 21 games in 20 days leading up to the current All-Star break. A deeper dive into the status of the Milwaukee bullpen will reveal real issues as well as real, sustainable successes.
Will Hader and Jeffress be able to keep up their success?
Any discussion regarding the 2018 Brewers bullpen, or pitching staff as a whole, begins and ends with the 24-year-old, flame-throwing, All-Star lefty phenom Josh Hader. He's been absolutely terrific and near untouchable across 48 innings of work in the season's first half with a .122 opponent batting average and 89 strikeouts, which leads all MLB relief pitchers. On the field, there is nothing that would suggest that Hader wouldn't have continued ascendancy in the second half of the season, but some off the field issues that recently unearthed from his past may cause him to be distracted and lose focus and thus hamper his performance on the field. Here's hoping he can bounce back quickly and avoid that circumstance.
In the case of Jeremy Jeffress, it would make sense if his numbers dipped slightly in the second half, simply because of just how dominant he's been. Before giving up an earned run against Pittsburgh last weekend, Jeffress' ERA sat at a staggering 0.99. It would be extremely hard to maintain that over the course of a full season, however Jeffress could be the man to do it. Jeremy has thrived under pressure this season as well, which is perhaps his best attribute. He inherits many runners late in games while the team clings to small leads, and has escaped those jams masterfully.
Is it time to worry about Corey Knebel?
2018 hasn't gone as planned for Brewers closer Corey Knebel. He suffered a scary hamstring injury in early April and really hasn't gotten his old groove back since. His struggles have gotten to the point where some Brewers fans think he should no longer occupy the closer's role. I would disagree. I think that notion is rooted in recency bias, because it is important to remember how much he thrived just a season ago in the closer's role. And if Knebel isn't closing games, that would likely mean Hader or Jeffress would, which is not their natural role, and likely nothing would improve. It is important to stick to the plan in place. Corey's numbers and performance will improve.
What about the other guys?
It will be pivotal for other members of the Brewers bullpen to contribute positively aside from the Big 3 of Hader, Jeffress, and Knebel. Those guys could use some of the pressure lifted off their shoulders, and some of the "other guys" like Jacob Barnes, Matt Albers, Dan Jennings, Corbin Burnes, or perhaps an outside addition could provide a spark to a bullpen that could potentially lose some of its firepower due to fatigue as the season progresses.
Going forward, the Brewers' bullpen is overall in a very good spot. Is it perfect? No. But is it balanced and workable? Absolutely. It remains to be seen whether or not the pen can hold up their end of the bargain in the team's effort to secure a playoff spot for the first time since 2011, but they've got 3 all-star caliber hurlers to go along with a good mixture of established veterans and young, up-and-coming pitchers seeking to prove their worth. If managed well, this group will help, not hurt, the Crew's bid for the playoffs.

Q: System.IO.File missing an assembly reference I'm trying to read text file using System.IO.File.ReadAllLines-method but an error pops up saying

The type or namespace 'File' does not exist in the namespace 'System.IO' (are you missing an assembly reference?

I'm working with .Net Framework 4.5 and VS2012.

A: That assembly is not available to you when building Windows Store (UWP) apps.
Instead, there is a different mechanism you must use. This mechanism encourages a more modern view of file I/O that embraces asynchronous (non-blocking) access the use of buffers and libraries, as well as support for more kinds of devices that may not use traditional file paths.

A: First go to Solution Explorer and Expand References and check whether System assembly is there in the list.
If you don't have it there, right click references and click add Reference and from the .NET tab, add System assembly
Now you should have System in the References list.
Now you can import the namespace System.IO as
using System.IO;

Note that File  is a class in namespace System.IO
So just use the File class in the code as follows.
File f = new File();//or whatever

I know the last line is sufficient but put down the whole thing for the completion. ;)
