After French President Emmanuel Macron rejected the idea of naming a prime minister from the left-wing New Popular Front coalition, saying a leftist government would immediately be ousted by all other parties, many French business leaders gathering at the employer federation Medef's annual conference voiced optimism that the pro-business environment of the past seven years would be maintained. FRANCE 24's Yuka Royer speaks to Laurent Saint-Martin, President of Business France, about the current business climate.
As suspense continues over who will become France's next prime minister…. the country's largest employer federation, Medef, kicked off its annual "back to school" conference on the theme of ''power''. The US presidential election, regional conflicts and trade tensions are also high on business leaders' minds. Frane 24's Yuka Royer speaks to Boris Lombard, President of KSB, about challenges facing the industrial sector.

Thomas R. Flagel is associate professor of history at Columbia State Community College in Tennessee. The author of several books, Flagel has also worked with multiple historic preservation groups including the Civil War Trust and the National Park Service. Union and Confederate veterans meet at Gettysburg on the 50th anniversary of the battle This June 29-July 4 reunion drew over 55,000 official attendees plus thousands more who descended upon a town of 4,000 during the scorching summer of 1913, with the promise of little more than a cot and two blankets, military fare, and the presence of countless adversaries from a horrific war. Most were revisiting a time and place in their personal history that involved acute physical and emotional trauma. Contrary to popular belief, veterans were not motivated to attend by a desire for reconciliation, nor did the Great Reunion produce a general sense of a reunified country. The reconciliation premise, advanced by several major speeches at the anniversary, lived in rhetoric more than fact. Recent scholarship effectively dismantles this "Reconciliation of 1913" mythos, finding instead that sectionalism and lingering hostilities largely prevailed among veterans and civilians. Flagel examines how individual veterans viewed the reunion, what motivated them to attend, how they acted and reacted once they arrived, and whether these survivors found what they were personally seeking. While politicians and the press characterized the veterans as relics of a national crusade, Flagel focuses on four men who come to the reunion for different and very individual reasons. Flagel's book adds significantly to Gettysburg literature and to Civil War historiography. Source: Publisher

She was reluctant to be groomed for the role of Commissioner, but after spending an hour with Sonja Stills you will see exactly why she is the Commissioner of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. In this episode, Sonja takes us through her journey in the sports industry. Including why she only asked for one promotion in the last 20 years, the value of being present in your current role and being vocal about your ambitions, why it's ok to ask for a promotion even if you've been in a role for less than a year, and why it's essential to not only have a seat at the table but also have a voice.

Stills has been a respected, well-known staple within the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference for the past 20 years, and on Jan. 1, 2022, she took over as commissioner -- becoming the first female commissioner in the conference's history, as well as the first female commissioner of a Division I HBCU conference. With a proven track record of accountability, efficiency, and passion, Stills has risen through the ranks within the MEAC, beginning with her tenure at the conference in October 2002. Stills has made a name for herself among her peers and other industry professionals for her never-ending dedication to the conference and its student-athletes, ability to grow and innovate, organization, team-first mentality, and goal-achieving initiative. In January 2021, Stills was promoted to Chief of Staff/Chief Operating Officer of the MEAC. In her new role, she ensures that the Commissioner is carrying out the strategic objectives of the Council of Chief Executive Officers and the Delegate Assembly. Stills was the lead on all hiring, strategic and long-range planning, re-branding, and marketing, NCAA Name, Image and Likeness (NIL), conference budget, the renewal of the MEAC Basketball Tournament with the City of Norfolk, and all special events and activities. Stills also created the MEAC's Esports program, a new, cutting-edge initiative that began in the summer of 2020, as the conference and world continued to deal with the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic. She took charge as the Director of Esports, serving as the key driver in developing regulations for the MEAC Esports Community and developing the MEAC's esports strategy. Her goal has been to enhance awareness of the MEAC's esports initiative by working with industry business leaders to encourage growth. Much like overseeing the addition of Esports to the MEAC's portfolio, Stills looks to enter a new tenure for the conference while continuing to bolster the respect, traditions, and love of the MEAC. She looks to deepen the communication with the member institutions, alumni, fans, and community, to express the strong desire and support for the success and sustainability of the Conference that transparently articulates its vision and strategy. The intention is to create a collaborative process in which the “new vision” for the MEAC is a shared vision that is all-inclusive athletically and academically. Before her appointment to Chief of Staff/Chief Operating Officer, Stills served as the Senior Associate Commissioner for Administration and Compliance (June 2012-21), Assistant Commissioner for Administration and Compliance (July 2008-12), Executive Assistant to the Commissioner (July 2006-08), Senior Woman Administrator (June 2006-2021) and Director of Compliance (October 2002-08). Prior to being named Commissioner, Stills elevated overall brand visibility for the MEAC. She negotiated over $683,000 in corporate partnership monies by working with major companies such as: iHeartRadio, US Marines, Home Depot, Hampton Roads Transit, JT Fisher Funeral Home, Priority Automotive, ESI, TowneBank, Glenmede Financials, House-Autry, CurtMont Food Services and Harley Davison. She assisted in negotiating a contract with Nike that brought over $9 million to member institutions. She operates with the financial interests of the conference; its member institutions and student-athletes are at the forefront for her. She designed and implemented the Athletic Eligibility Certification Review to assist institutions in preparing for the NCAA Academic Progress Program (APP) Data Review. She managed the budgets for the Conference Grant, Student-Athlete Opportunity Fund and Special Assistant Fund. She was instrumental in developing the MEAC Strategic and Long-Range Plan in December 2008, along with securing global creative agency 160over90 as the marketing company for the MEAC in 2020. In 2022, she oversaw the update of MEAC Strategic and Long-Range Plan. As the Senior Associate Commissioner, Stills provided supervision for Conference staff, including Compliance, Championship, Media Relations, Finance, Corporate Partnerships, Multimedia/Marketing, Digital & Video and administrative support staff. She took the helm and managed the operations of the Conference Office in the absence of the Commissioner, coordinated all ancillary events of the Conference (i.e., Football Press Luncheon, Basketball Tournament Tip-Off Banquet, Cheerleading Championship, Pre-Season Basketball Press Luncheon, etc.) and Mid-Winter, Spring and Summer Conference meetings. During the conference basketball tournaments, Stills provided guidance and insight while monitoring the NCAA Academic Progress Program (APP) for member institutions to implement the APP Seminar with NCAA Academic and Membership Staff. She also provided administrative support to the Commissioner for the Council of Chief Executive Officers and Executive Committee and conducted conference compliance workshops, reviews, and spot checks to ensure compliance with Conference and NCAA rules and regulations. She served as liaison to the conference's Compliance Coordinators, Athletics Academic Support staff, Alumni Directors and Constitution and Bylaws committees, as well as assisting with other conference committees. Under Stills' guidance as the Assistant Commissioner for Administration, she coordinated the MEAC Cheerleading Championship — the only HBCU collegiate cheerleading championship. During her time as the Executive Assistant to the Commissioner, Stills provided direct support to the Commissioner, administrative support to the Commissioner for the Council of Chief Executive Officers and Executive Committee, managed the day-to-day operations and administration of the conference office, assisted the Commissioner by executing initiatives and special projects, evaluated functions, practices and the efficiency of facilities, and evaluated staff performance while providing leadership and guidance for personnel. As the Senior Woman Administrator, Stills continued to work in conjunction with the senior leadership team within the MEAC regarding women's issues and other issues that affect the membership. She coordinated the Senior Woman Administrators' Women in Athletics Professional Development Workshop, coordinated the selection of the MEAC Woman of the Year and served as the liaison to member institutions' senior woman administrators.

Early on in the life of Addressing Gettysburg, Dr. Peter Carmichael became a friend and supporter of the show. Patrons, you might already know that the vast majority of the authors we have on the show are due to Pete's assistance. He got us on UNC Press's book reviewer list and that has enable us to bring these guests to you each month. Pete also invited AG to cover the conference in 2022 and 2023 and again in 2024 so we can bring the events and guests to you, wherever you are. He also loves to wear scarves. I do urge you to try your best to attend a conference ASAP. Thanks to Pete for all the work he does to spread the history of the deifining moment in American history, the Civil War and for his friendship to AG. Peter S. Carmichael received his Ph.D. in History from Penn State University in 1996. His academic interests include 19th-century US history, Civil War and Reconstruction, southern history, public history and cultural history. Carmichael's most recent book, The War for the Common Soldier, was published by University of North Carolina Press in November 2018 as part of the Littlefield History of the Civil War Era series. The culmination of nearly ten years' work, this cultural history of soldiering in Civil War armies explores how soldiers endured the brutal and unpredictable existence of army life during the war years, drawing heavily on close examination of the letters and records left behind by individual soldiers from both the North and the South. His previous books include The Last Generation: Young Virginians in Peace, War, and Reunion (UNC, 2005) and Lee's Young Artillerist: William R. J. Pegram (Virginia, 1995). In addition to his books, he has also published a number of articles for both scholarly and popular journals, and he speaks frequently to general and scholarly audiences. Carmichael has recently appeared on the PBS Robert E. Lee documentary for the American Experience series and on the popular TV show “Who Do You Think You Are.” View Professor Carmichael's talks on C-SPAN. After completing his doctorate at Penn State University under Dr. Gary W. Gallagher, Professor Carmichael went on to teach at Western Carolina University, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and West Virginia University, before coming to Gettysburg College. In addition to holding seasonal interpretive positions at several National Park Service sites, Carmichael served as Gettysburg National Military Park's first Scholar-in-Residence in 1999, and has developed a lasting relationship with the NPS. In addition to overseeing multiple interpretive workshops for National Park Service staff, he directed a 2010 seminar at Gettysburg NMP to discuss new interpretive approaches to the Civil War sesquicentennial and co-directed (with Jill Ogline Titus) the joint GC/GNMP conference, The Future of Civil War History: Looking Beyond the 150th in 2013.
