In this era of protest over racism, will colleges embrace Black student activists?
In 2018, sociologist Ted Thornhill found that Black students who profess an interest in fighting racism were less likely to get a response from college admission officers than other Black students when inquiring about whether they would be a good fit for a particular college. In light of the nationwide anti-racism protests sparked by the May 25 killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, when a police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes, The Conversation reached out to Thornhill for his thoughts on whether Black activist students might be more welcome on campus now than before. The Q&A, edited for brevity, is below: Do you expect wider acceptance of Black activism on college campuses?Will some number of colleges and universities that did not embrace Black student activists previously do so now? Perhaps a few. However, I believe more will work, directly and indirectly, to ensure these students never set a foot on their respective campuses.According to a recent Pew poll, 60% of whites support the Black Lives Matter movement. That means 40% do not. Certainly, some of those whites opposed or indifferent to Black Lives Matter work in higher education. And the 60% who do support Black Lives Matter is likely somewhat inflated due to social desirability bias, which is when people give socially acceptable answers to research questions instead of saying how they really feel. In sum, there is good reason for Black Lives Matter student activists, especially those who have a high profile, to have reservations about the degree to which historically and predominantly white colleges and universities truly desire their presence on campus.Many institutions have not even made a meaningful commitment to make significant anti-racist changes. Some of the anti-racist statements that colleges and universities have made since the torture and execution of George Floyd have been described by some academics as "toothless." Could activism actually help students?Perhaps, at some institutions. There may be a net increase in the number of enthusiastic administrators and admissions counselors. But these might be at places that were considerably further along their way to becoming truly racially diverse, equitable and inclusive – in a word – anti-racist. To the extent that Black student activism is now viewed more favorably on campus, it might also depend on what kind of college we're talking about, what part of the country it's located in and the size and demographics of its student body. How might COVID-19 come into play?To the extent COVID-19 has increased predominantly white colleges' and universities' need for the tuition revenue generated by Black and brown bodies – whether in physical or virtual seats – they may accept a greater number of Black students than is typical for them. Still, while admission counselors are reviewing students' files, I would expect that many will still view most favorably those Black students who are the least explicit about being racially conscious.Some Black students may choose to hide their activism because they understand that most whites, including admissions counselors, likely view it in a negative light. In this instance, they would be doing so tactically, solely for the purposes of gaining admittance. Still, I suspect that Black students who are the most committed to Black Lives Matter activism will refuse to hide or downplay their activism.Lastly, just because colleges might operate fully or largely online in the fall due to COVID-19, does not mean that racism will magically disappear from higher education. Racism is as likely to appear in the virtual classroom – and other parts of college that move online – as it did on the physical campus, so anti-racist activism will likely have to take place in the digital realm as well.[Get the best of The Conversation, every weekend.

'A travesty': North Carolina faces calls to continue reopening even as Covid-19 cases surge
North Carolina remains in the second phase of its reopening plan after hitting a new high in hospitalizations, but industry groups want restrictions easedMajor – the photogenic life-sized bronze bull statue that presides over a square near the center of downtown Durham, North Carolina – hasn't had much company in recent weeks.With the number of coronavirus cases and hospitalizations in the state trending upwards, many businesses up and down Main Street remain closed, while others operate in a limited capacity. Some storefronts have been boarded up following recent Black Lives Matter protests, with the plywood covered in graffiti art. "People were crying before the teargas," one read.Outside Pour Taproom on Thursday evening, several groups sat sipping drinks at red metal tables spaced strategically apart. The pour-it-yourself taproom reopened last week, and since has seen a solid, if unspectacular, stream of patrons. Anjelika Vasquez, the Taproom's manager, said many had felt "cooped up in the house"."It's such a weird period," she said. "But people want to drink."Under North Carolina's current set of rules, restaurants, breweries, retail stores and salons are allowed to open at 50% capacity. Gyms and bars are closed, with wiggle room for pubs that serve food. Gatherings are limited to 10 people indoors and 25 outdoors.The Taproom halved its staff and reduced its hours, along with adding sanitizing stations and selling face masks. While the moves have bought the business some time, Vasquez said she's wary about the future."Everybody is getting really impatient and small businesses are suffering," she said. "But I have a feeling we're going to have to close again."On Wednesday, a day after the state hit a new high in Covid-19 hospitalizations, the Democratic governor, Roy Cooper, announced North Carolina would remain in the second phase of its three-phase reopening plan, a decision that was swiftly condemned as anti-business by many in the state's Republican-dominated legislature.Phase two was scheduled to end Friday, but Cooper, who also announced a mandate requiring individuals wear masks in public despite fierce opposition in some quarters, said he was "concerned" about the direction the state is trending."The numbers we see are a stark warning," the governor said. "We're adding this requirement because we don't want to go backward."The announcement was met with furor from industry groups."The governor's decision is effectively signing a death warrant for 1,063 bars across North Carolina while offering zero relief to the small-business owners or their employees," Zack Medford, president of the North Carolina Bar and Tavern Association (NCBATA), said in a release. "Asking private bar owners to lose everything they've worked for while their competitors can thrive is unconscionable.On 4 June, the NCBATA filed a lawsuit against the state on behalf of more than 185 bars, alleging that the Cooper's office violated the businesses' constitutional rights by "irrationally treating [bars] differently from restaurants, hotels, wineries, distilleries, taprooms, brewpubs, breweries, private clubs and eating establishments".Groups representing churches and gyms have also filed similar lawsuits.But for the past several weeks, the state has failed to hit its self-imposed benchmarks for reopening. In addition to a steady increase in hospitalizations – culminating in the record high 915 on Tuesday – North Carolina saw 1,721 new cases Wednesday, its second-highest daily total since the pandemic began."We used to be rock solid in the mid-500s of the total number of hospitalizations. We're now in the 900s and that trend continues to go up," Mandy Cohen, the state's health and human services secretary, said this week.About 9% of tests performed are coming back positive, a number that has also failed to dip. One of the only metrics that has dropped has been tests performed, with the state Department of Health and Human Services citing a renewed shortage of testing reagents.The Republican-controlled state general assembly has generally fought Cooper's reluctance to reopen, passing a handful of bills that would relax restrictions on bars, gyms, bowling alleys and amusement parks. Cooper vetoed at least two of these bills.Many of North Carolina's first hotspots were focused near its population centers, such as Charlotte, Raleigh and Durham. But in recent weeks the spread has moved into less populated areas and heavily impacted Hispanic, Black and indigenous communities, particularly those working in food processing facilities and on farms.The virus's movement from urban to rural areas was predictable, said Lori Carter-Edwards, an associate professor at the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health, and is underscoring the conflicted relationship between the economy and public health across the state.Without proper safety nets in place – namely in areas with fewer resources – governments and businesses will continually be forced to choose between financial stability and public health, she said.> If we can't make the health decision when the science tells us what it tells us we will be dealing with this much longer> > Lori Carter-Edwards"Both decisions are tough, but if we can't make the health decision when the science tells us what it tells us we will be dealing with this much longer and will be the nation that didn't do what it could have done," Carter-Edwards said. "And that will be a travesty."As it stands, congregate living facilities, daycare centers and schools are the only facilities required by the state to report outbreaks, which it defines as two or more cases. For all other businesses, local health departments and, by extension, the state department of health and human service (DHHS), depend on companies volunteering their own data or tracking down clusters through case interviews."It is in the best interest of public health for those private businesses to self-identify and work with NCDHHS so that we can help protect employees and communities by providing technical assistance on mitigation strategies, educating employees about the virus and measures they can take, and providing testing for those who have been exposed as well as for others in their households," a DHHS spokesperson wrote.North Carolina is set to reassess its reopening strategy when the current order expires on 17 July, and Carter-Edwards said the next three weeks represent a critical window for the state to coordinate a response to its rising numbers."People need to understand the war is not against an individual," she said. "Until we learn how to work together, be bipartisan and treat this as a collective public health [issue], we won't be able to hit our plateau. We'll miss the mark, we'll have more deaths and we'll have more cases."This article was amended on 29 June to remove the inaccurate assertion, introduced in the editing process, that coronavirus deaths in North Carolina were trending upwards.
The A-12 Avenger Shows Why The Navy Needs A Long-Range Strike Aircraft
The Navy's carrier air wings would have greatly benefited from an A-12-like capability had the program survived.
Уголок равнополочный является сегодня довольно популярным материалом. С ним взаимодействуют во многих отраслях. Это обусловлено отменными эксплуатационными данными изделий: он прочный и в то же время легкий. Поэтому их все чаще можно увидеть там, где невозможно применение его аналога из стали.
Помимо перечисленных характеристик, равнополочные уголки отличаются долговечностью, переносимостью воздействия как высоких, так и низких температур. Алюминиевый равнополочный уголок обладает высокой устойчивостью к коррозии, ультрафиолетовых лучей, химических жидкостей, кислот и влаги. При взаимодействии с воздухом на его поверхности возникает окисная пленка, которая играет роль барьера и увеличивает период его эксплуатации.
Также на уголки равнополочные может быть нанесено покрытие одним из методов:
распыление полимерной порошковой краски;
декорирование и ламинирование;
анодирование (путем создания на поверхности алюминия оксидного слоя).
Разные составы цветовых решений позволяют вписать их в производственный цикл для производства шкафов-купе, гардеробных комнат и прочей домашней мебели. Вышеприведенные нюансы помогут оценить их особенности, анодированные равнополочные уголки пользуются популярностью у многих потребителей - организаций и частных лиц.
Еще одно достоинство заключается в том, что они без каких либо проблем поддаются практически любой механической обработке. Его можно сверлить, шлифовать и придавать ему разлиную форму. Для их скрепления используются саморезы.
Как делаются уголки равнополочные
Производство их, как правило, осуществляется экструзией или гибкой. В зависимости от технологии выделяют вот два типа:
прессованные;
гнутые.
При этом они могут поступать в продажу в исходном состоянии или подвергнутые одному из нескольких способов термообработки. Экструдируют их на мощных гидравлических прессах через формообразующий элемент - фильеру, или так называемую матрицу. Гнут на гибочных станках. Стоить отметить, что им свойственно иметь более десятков тысяч размеров. Наиболее маленьким считается размер 10х10х1 мм, его противоположность, габарит 200 мм шириной и 200 мм высотой.
И так, подведем итоги: сплошной профиль, гораздо надежнее поливинилхлорида и дерева, так как не боится температурных скачков, алюминию не страшны жара и морозы, он устойчив к негативным атмосферным проявлениям. Они, профили, не воспламеняются и не поддерживают процесс горения, не продуцируют токсинов даже в случае нагревании, что дает возможность использовать их в жилых помещениях. Они не выделяет в атмосферу ядовитых веществ, абсолютно безвредны для человека. И монтировать их - одно удовольствие, скажем так, достаточно просто. Кроме того, они просты в обслуживании. И самое главное, они отличаются доступной ценой.
