    Full text link
    Black athletes face structural and overt racism in all sports across the country, in which the majority of White Americans either chooses to ignore or sometimes even use to victimize certain athletes. They are discriminated against because of the color of their skin, despite achieving the same levels of success and fame as their white competitors. Black athletes must work harder than white athletes for the same end goal, not because of any sort of athletic disadvantage, but because of racial injustice and intolerance. Soccer is a prime example of how Black athletes face racism in sport. Black female soccer players, however, face many more layers of oppression compared to not only Black male soccer players, but also their female counterparts. The lack of representation and involvement of Black female athlete in the sport of soccer shows the repercussions of these layers of oppression. The sport of soccer favors male athletes and their success, caters to middle- and upper-class families and individuals, and structural racism within athletics prefers white athletes

    CESSDA Service Providers are obligated to provide support to member countries where the national infrastructures are immature and/or fragile. This report proposes a model for sustainably providing support services to aid the development throughout the CESSDA Service Provider community and to aspiring members. Development support is categorised into long-term services and discrete activities, and the scope and scale of the demand for support were analysed. Towards the sustainability of development support services, we examined the financial models that may be deployed, possible external sources of funding, how to support knowledge about the services and activities that are available, and how needs should be assessed

    Galois cohomology of a number field is Koszul

    Full text link
    We prove that the Milnor ring of any (one-dimensional) local or global field K modulo a prime number l is a Koszul algebra over Z/l. Under mild assumptions that are only needed in the case l=2, we also prove various module Koszulity properties of this algebra. This provides evidence in support of Koszulity conjectures that were proposed in our previous papers. The proofs are based on the Class Field Theory and computations with quadratic commutative Groebner bases (commutative PBW-bases).Comment: LaTeX 2e, 25 pages; v.2: minor grammatic changes; v.3: classical references added, remark inserted in subsection 1.6, details of arguments added in subsections 1.4, 1.7 and sections 5 and 6; v.4: still more misprints corrected, acknowledgement updated, a sentence inserted in section 4, a reference added -- this is intended as the final versio
