2015 Conference Review
Theme: Total Consecration to Mary: The Remedy for our Ills.
Opening Remarks
After introducing the speakers and their talk titles the opening remarks of Brother André turned toward the current event, the Synod in Rome "On the Family," which was winding up as the conference began. Brother briefly addressed the scandalous abuse of what the liberals were calling the "penitential path" in the name of "mercy," promoting Holy Communion for divorced and remarried Catholics who felt alienated. The Church's teaching on three sacraments was under assault, he said: Holy Matrimony, Penance, and Holy Communion. Cited in support of the perennial teaching of the Church were Vatican I, the Syllabus of Errors of Blessed Pius IX, and the condemnation of a false development (i.e, evolution) of doctrine issued by Saint Pius X. He ended on the theme of the conference as a solution to the Church's present ills, Total Consecration to Mary. CD, DVD, MP3 or MP4
Sister Maria Philomena
"The Consolation of Dying as a Slave of Mary".
Sister's talk was divided into three themes: After reciting the Hail Mary, our speaker accented again the second part of the prayer: Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. The first part of her talk was given to the preparation for death that we all should consider even if we are in good health. Now is the time to prepare for death that will come. The best preparation is to live a growing life of grace anticipating a death at any time. "In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin." Sister then offered wonderful insights on the necessity of "meditation" and how easy it is to practice, especially meditation of the Four Last Things. Part of this meditation may involve personal experience, seeing others die and, in her own case, helping others to die well. Sister cited many examples from the lives of the saints, as well as drawing from her own skin cancer diagnosis and how that motivated her to prepare for her own death. She is doing well now. An inspiration to all. CD, DVD, MP3 or MP4
Brother André Marie
'"Total Consecration to Mary: The Remedy for our Ills."
Remember, Brother began, that perfectly healthy people don't need a physician, sick people do. After giving his "short list" of the ills within the Church and society, which was quite exhaustive, Brother launched into his theme of the Remedy for all these ills that we are all witnessing and living through, the Total Consecration to Mary.
This presentation was an excellent encapsulation of the spirit of Saint Louis de Montfort's treatise True Devotion to Mary. Assuming that his audience had made their Marian consecration or, at least, had heard about it, he pointed out that "Holy Slavery to Mary" was not invented by Saint Louis but resurrected by him. It had a tradition going back 1200 hundred years before his own time.
After giving the history of holy slavery to our Queen, Brother delivered a magnificent exposition of what exactly True Devotion and Holy Slavery to Mary should be for us who are consecrated to her, especially in confronting the challenges to our Faith in these trying times. CD, DVD, MP3 or MP4
Sister Marie Thérèse
"Promises to Keep"
Using a few classic Marian books to draw from, Sister addressed the audience directly, not so much as a teacher, but as gentle provoker of conscience: "Do you keep your promises?" she asked. "Specifically, do you keep the promises you made to the Mother of God in your Total Consecration?" This would entail serving your Queen, she said, with emphasis on the word "service." In return for this service, our Queen promises many exceptional blessings and favors. "Do you know these promises? Are you serving in a way that will obtain these promises for you?" Listen to Sister Marie Thérèse's talk, and learn how to reap the fantastic benefits of your daily service to your Heavenly Queen. CD, DVD, MP3 or MP4
Gary Potter
"The Once and Future Queen"
Beginning with his usual wit and humor, Mr. Potter described his own inadequacy, speaking on so sublime a topic, as the "proverbial war correspondent who covers the fighting from a hotel bar." He stressed that the goal of devotion to Mary will always fall short of the "totalness" that we promise in our consecration. One thing that was a surprise for listeners, giving them pause, was that Mr. Potter made no bones about the fact that he "loves" this life, with all the good things it offers, including, foremost, his own created existence. From hereon in, Gary spoke all about his Queen from the point of view of one who was not always a Catholic. His overall theme was the exalted Queenship of Mary, the Mother of Christ the King. She has the King's authority and the King wishes that she be honored and loved as His chosen Queen, His chosen Theotokos (God-Bearer). Mr. Potter spoke passionately about the religious and cultural things that drew him to the Faith and how that all was crowned in Pope XII's bestowal of the title "Empress of the Americas" on Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1945. He ended with a call for Catholic men to be chivalrous, and for all the faithful to live the dignity of their vocation as children of God. CD, DVD, MP3 or MP4. Detailed notes are available on this talk upon request.
Dr. G.C. Dilsaver
"The Heroic Freedom of Holy Slavery"
Dr. Dilsaver devoted much of his talk to the development of true courage, moral courage, if we are going to be "holy" Slaves, worthy of our calling to labor in Our Lady's service. Giving many examples of worldly courage, usually motivated by self-love, the speaker simplified the virtue of fortitude to "love of God more than self;" that, he said "is the engine of true heroics."
The highest fear, meritorious fear, is the fear of not loving God enough. We cannot have the Spirit of God within us perfectly if we fear man or the state. Quoting the Apostle John, he employed the verse "perfect charity casteth out fear, because fear hath pain. And he that feareth, is not perfected in charity" as the ideal to strive for. He spoke about having an "informed Catholic conscience," about the only "right" that really matters, the "right to do our duty to God." Particular stress was laid on our vocation to be unperturbed by anything adverserial, even by the liberal machinations going on in the Church. "No one can tell you to be less Catholic" he said. Some call our time, the "Age of the Family," let us then have a vision, he intoned with vigor, directing our courage to love of God as parents, husbands, and wives. If our eyes are on Mary we shall be free of vexation and arrive some day, in heaven. That is the freedom of holy slavery. CD, DVD, MP3 or MP4
Mr. Charles Coulombe
"Mary Queen of the Nations"
If Mary is our Queen then we are monarchists. Jesus is our King, the King of the Universe, King of every nation even of those who reject Him. Christ is King by title: as Creator, by right of descent, as Heir of David the King, and by right of conquest, conquering sin from the Cross. Mary partakes of this royalty as the perfect daughter of the Father, as daughter of David and Mother of the King of kings, and as Co-Redemptrix. Charles then gave a fascinating tour of the honors bestowed upon the Queen Mother by Catholic nations throughout history. This was the theme of his cultivated and inspiring presentation. Mr. Coulombe took us to Hungary, Poland, Ireland, France, Spain, South America, China, and lastly these United States chronicling with incredible erudition many of the titles by which Our Lady has been honored in various states and highlighting many of the shrines devoted to her throughout the land. From the most famous, the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC, to the most unknown, glorious yet unpretentious, the Shrine of Our Lady Reconquistadora in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Charles ended with a call to heroic fortitude in these times. Slaves of Mary pledge allegiance to Mary Queen, Mother of Catholic Heroes. CD, DVD, MP3 or MP4
Mr. C.J. Doyle
"How the Rosary Rescued a Nation"
The nation was Austria. If one needed a concise power-packed history of Europe in the early to mid twentieth century from the true perspective, the Catholic one, this talk is it. First, before relating the inspiring story of how Our Lady saved Austria from the Communists, Mr. Doyle set the stage with a summary of the political and military intrigues that were unleashed upon most of Europe before, during, and after the two world wars. How the Nazis and the Soviets vied for power, even working together for their own interests (one million Russians died fighting for Hitler!!), was a lesson rarely heard in lectures or read in school books. All this from a Catholic perspective. What C.J. does so masterfully is relate major events with the characters used to effect them. His eulogistic portrayal of Blessed Emperor Karl of the Austro-Hungarian Hapsburg empire was captivating, as was his breakdown of the motives pushing evil men like Stalin and Woodrow Wilson and other principal world leaders to slaughter 120,000,000 men, including 307,000 US soldiers in WWII. The fate of Austria during this time, Mr. Doyle said, was in the hands of its Catholic population, for that nation had been saved for the Church by the Counter-Reformation. Archduke Ferdinand III, Emperor Karl's nephew, dedicated Austria to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Most intriguing was the work for the liberation of Austria in 1955 from the Soviets; it was led by the Catholic partners in Faith, Father Petrus Pavlicek and the Chancellor Julius Raab, who rallied 500,000 Catholics to pray the Rosary daily in order to save the nation from the Communist occupiers. Listen to this talk and see how that miracle happened. Clue: Raab was called to Moscow on May 13, 1955 (the feast day of Our Lady of Fatima), and he and Father Pavlicek often publicly called upon Our Lady of Fatima for her protection. CD, DVD, MP3 or MP4
Panel Discussion
Master of Ceremonies, Charles Coulombe, led the Q & A with flair. All of the speakers addressed almost all of the questions. There were eight questions. The speakers were all at their best — literally at their best — each contributing words of wisdom on various topics.
Some of the questions were very good, others a bit odd, but the speakers handled them all with great finesse and respect. The first question, for example, was "Which pope will consecrate Russia, Emeritus Benedict XVI or Francis? Dr. Dilsaver had to deal with that one. He also brilliantly answered a question on mental health and the use of a psychiatrist. Dr. Dilsaver is a psychologist who uses Thomistic/Aristotelian anthropology in his profession. "How do we encourage people to become Catholic when the Church is going through this 'diabolic disorientation"? was another question. This one and the answers of the full panel were most illuminating and right on line with the crusade of Saint Benedict Center to convert America. Another question, for C.J. Doyle, our expert on Erin, dealt with the apostasy of Ireland in our times (legalization of same-sex "marriage" recently, and by plebiscite, not judicial fiat). Another question had to do with "attitude." "What is the attitude a Slave of Mary should manifest"? Sister Marie Thérèse quoted Father Jarecki, our dear deceased chaplain: "Our attitude as Catholics ought to be the B-Attitudes," she said. The final question was the most relevant. It had to do with the Rosary promises and how to live with an apparent rejection of one's petition to Mary for a favor. All of the speakers provided good counsel here. But Sister Marie Thérèse, once again, was a simple light when she cited the wisdom of the saints on the subject: "Our Lady always gives us 'something better' than what we ask for". Don't miss out on listening to this elucidating and entertaining discussion. It was a fitting finale to a great conference. CD, DVD, MP3 or MP4

What if you started with that assumption that most things in life simply do not matter? It can be shocking, I know, if you are used to attending to every demand, every item and every relationship.
What if you assumed that only a few projects make a real impact?
Or that only a few relationships will bring you happiness or prosperity?
Or many of the items you own are not worth much?
You can increase your capacity for better projects, life-giving relationships and clutter-free living by starting with a simple question, "Does this matter?"
If you can't find an answer, then the answer is that it does not matter. You can live without this commitment taking up mental space and commitment.
You need your mind to achieve great things. If you are bogged down by all those good things that don't matter, you block out all that limited inventory and opportunity to attend to the best things that come your way.
You won't have the bandwidth to see what is possible or take advantage of moving on an opportunity when it comes your way.
We don't live in a world of scarcity. The deal of the century is always around the corner. The best relationships are there for you every day. It is most effective when you do the work you really want to do and are specially suited for.
When you start thinking in scarcity that you might lose something or are afraid of the consequences of letting go of something that is less than fulfilling, your mind and emotions are trapping you.
Simply take a look and observe what you are doing. Get real with yourself and find out what is really making you hold on so tightly.
It may not feel costly, but you are missing out by doing things that don't matter. Be wise and excellent. You only have so much of yourself you can give.
What are you holding onto that likely doesn't matter?

A Spa Voucher - What more can be more relaxing than a day at the spa? With a spa voucher to give her on Valentine's day, you'll definitely make her the happiest woman alive.
Chocolate Making Classes Voucher - If your woman adores chocolates, then she'll certainly be interested in learning how chocolates are made. Give her the opportunity to attend some chocolate making classes. She'll certainly thank you for that.
Chocolate Gift Baskets - If for some reason, she can't insert Chocolate Making Classes into her hectic schedule, then get her a chocolate gift basket filled with Italian chocolate coins, Ferrero Rochers and Belgian Chocolate stars. This will, without a doubt, make her day a lot sweeter!
Gifts for him:
A Full Day Paint Ball Voucher - Knowing that almost everyone is interested to try paint ball, your husband or boyfriend will have a hard time saying "no" to this experience. A reminder though... book as early as possible as paintball vouchers sell out so fast.

|Speculative Blackness: The Future of Race in Science Fiction

In Speculative Blackness, André M. Carrington analyzes the highly racialized genre of speculative fiction—including science fiction, fantasy, and utopian works, along with their fan cultures—to illustrate the relationship between genre conventions in media and the meanings ascribed to blackness in the popular imagination.
Carrington's argument about authorship, fandom, and race in a genre that has been both marginalized and celebrated offers a black perspective on iconic works of science fiction. He examines the career of actor Nichelle Nichols, who portrayed the character Uhura in the original Star Trek television series and later became a recruiter for NASA, and the spin-off series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, set on a space station commanded by a black captain. He recovers a pivotal but overlooked moment in 1950s science fiction fandom in which readers and writers of fanzines confronted issues of race by dealing with a fictitious black fan writer and questioning the relevance of race to his ostensible contributions to the 'zines. Carrington mines the productions of Marvel comics and the black-owned comics publisher Milestone Media, particularly the representations of black sexuality in its flagship title, Icon. He also interrogates online fan fiction about black British women in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Harry Potter series.
Throughout this nuanced analysis, Carrington theorizes the relationship between race and genre in cultural production, revealing new understandings of the significance of blackness in twentieth-century American literature and culture.

Why bankers are (still) paid so much
If you work in banking, you will earn a lot of money. For all the talk of 'rebasing banking pay' by hiring juniors with no recollection of the good old paydays, banking is still abnormally remunerative. University students who go to work for Goldman Sachs can expect to earn £46k ($71k) in year one - and that's just in salary. Ten years later and mid-six figure compensation is still the norm if you're in a 'front office' job in sales and trading.
Why though, are bankers still such high earners? We spoke to three banking analysts about industry remuneration and the stickiness of compensation. This was their justification for the ongoing banking bounty.
We're still adjusting
"Rome does not change in a day," says Brad Hintz, veteran Wall Street banking analyst and adjunct professor of finance at NYU Stern. Bankers who used to make $5m before the financial crisis are now earning $2m, says Hintz. Whilst this is a "career tragedy" for those concerned, it's still an extreme amount of money for anyone in the "real world".
Banking jobs are insecure
Hintz says banking pay is high because banking jobs don't last long: "The average lifespan of a managing director is five years."
Given a short career lifespan the business has evolved to provide high compensation, adds Hintz: "If you want security get a job at the post office."
Bankers are the cogs of the system
In a capitalist system, bankers are at the heart of the machine. "In history, anyone who has controlled capital has taken a huge pot of rent," says Chirantan Barua, senior banking analyst at Bernstein Research in London.
This isn't just about bankers creaming money off the system. The role is tough and compensation reflects this. "Capital allocation is difficult," says Barua. "And even more so if it is done internationally."
The capital allocation argument applies equally to IBD jobs as to trading roles, says Barua. "When company A buys company B in M&A, it's capital deployment," he says. "The same applies when you're trading securities, or investing a private equity fund."
Bankers work twice as many hours as anyone else
If finance professionals are paid more than anyone else, this is at least partly because they work harder than anyone else. When working hours are factored in, junior bankers' pay suddenly looks a lot less appealing. 70-80 hour weeks are the norm, and some bankers work longer still.
"Associates and vice presidents work 100-hour weeks for years on end to reach the managing director level," says Hintz.
"Junior bankers who work 12 or 13 hours a day expect their pay to reflect that," says Christopher Wheeler, US banking analyst at Atlantic Equities. "I've had people say to me that if they're going to earn less than $100k they might as well be working an eight-hour day at a Big Four accountant."
Banks used to be partnerships
Finally, Wheeler says the lucrativeness of banking jobs has something to do with some banks' historical partnership status.
"When banks were partnerships all the profits were redistributed," says Wheeler. "Everything was paid out to the employees. When banks went public, they had to work out how to divide up the profits with shareholders. Pay is still being re-balanced towards shareholders, but you still have that legacy of sharing as much as possible among the staff."

Bill Murray Popped Out Of A Cake & Hung Out With People On The Street During His Final Appearance With David Letterman
Unless you live under a rock (which if you do, I'm terribly sorry) then you know David Letterman's final Late Night show is tonight. Celebrities have been appearing/giving tributes for the past few weeks (I wrote about Eddie Vedder's appearance yesterday) but it's not quite a send off until Bill Murray gets involved. Well he got involved last night, and it was silly and wonderful and everything you love about a Bill Murray appearance. He popped out of a cake, hugged Letterman and high fived audience members while covered in cake, then ventured outside and led people on the streets in a chant asking Dave not to leave the air. Bill Murray for the win, again and again.

1967 Home Movies at the DFT @ Hyperallergic
DETROIT — As we approach the 50th anniversary of the summer of 1967, Detroit finds itself in a reflective mood. In late July of that year, the city was embroiled in a dramatic conflict, known alternately as the Rebellion or the Riots, depending on one's vantage point on the crisis. Ostensibly, a police raid on an unauthorized drinking establishment touched off a citywide violent uprising, which culminated in the dispatching of federal troops by President Lyndon B. Johnson. In reality, this was not a singular event, but a tipping point on decades of institutionalized discrimination, including eminent domain land grabs by the city to make way for highways through some of Detroit's strongest black communities; white flight leading to the devaluation and dissolution of neighborhoods; and predatory economics that made the cost of living increasingly unviable for city residents.
But the summer of '67 was not all high drama, and a film series at the Detroit Film Theatre at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) offers some perspective on this matter. 1967 Detroit Home Movies is a year-long project that seeks to present home movies from around 1967, depicting everyday life in Detroit, and cannily builds a crowd-sourced archive of quotidian moments that paint a fascinating and nostalgic portrait of the city.

Located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and named one of the "Top Ten Islands in the World" by Conde Nast Traveler, Mackinac Island is a short ferry-ride from the rest of the state but a world apart. Cars have been restricted here since the 1920s and the entire island is listed as a National Historic Landmark. Mackinac Island also is a tourist destination, which means there are plenty of cool things to see here.
Fort Mackinac
Built by the British in the late 18th century to use during the American Revolution, they used the post for 15 years until the Americans seized control. Today, 14 original buildings still stand within Fort Mackinac (mackinacparks.com), including the Officers' Stone Quarters, which is one of Michigan's oldest buildings. One exhibit, for example, called "Military Medicine at Mackinac" in the post hospital explains what medicine was like in the 19th century on Mackinac Island.
Original Mackinac Island Butterfly House
The first facility of its kind in Michigan, the Original Mackinac Island Butterfly House (originalbutterflyhouse.com) is the third-oldest live butterfly exhibit in the nation. Not only is the 1,800-square foot butterfly house a source of information about butterflies and their relationship to the land, it also boasts a tropical garden which is home to hundreds of butterflies from around the world.
Murdick's Fudge Shop
Fudge wasn't created on Mackinac Island, but six fudge shops on a piece of land just 3.8 square miles in size certainly should make Mackinac Island a frontrunner for "Fudge Capital of the World." And at Murdick's (murdicks.com), guests can watch as expert fudgemakers turn out more than 15 flavors of the creamy delight. Originating in 1887, Murdick's also makes peanut, cashew and pecan brittle.
The Grand Hotel
Open from May through October, the Grand Hotel (grandhotel.com) is a Victorian-style hotel that was named by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as "One of a Dozen Distinctive Destinations" in America. It has 385 rooms, no two of which are the same; at 660 feet, the front porch reportedly is the longest in the world. The 1980 film "Somewhere in Time" with the late Christopher Reeve was shot on location here, and the 500,000-gallon heated pool was built for Esther Williams and the 1947 movie "This Time for Keeps."
Mackinac Island Lilac Festival
What once was a one-day event has turned into a 10-day festival every June to celebrate the blooming lilacs on the island. In addition to a horse-drawn parade, the Mackinac Island Lilac Festival (mackinacislandlilacfestival.org) features, among other things, wine and beer tasting, musicians, hayrides, afternoon tea and architectural walking tours. A Lilac Queen and her court also are selected from among the students at Mackinac Island Public School.

Part way through April and the discussions and planning over the past few months look like they are, slowly, starting to come together.
The plans are ambitious, not only are we restructuring our information offering to make things easier to find, we are also attempting to change the way we document our product. Moving us away from a set of information that covers "here is what our development kit can do", to content that says "this is what our product does and how you can extend or modify it". In one way it's a subtle shift, but the ramifications are still unfolding.
One area in particular will be interesting, namely that we will be asking "why that way?" a lot more than we have in the past. In the past, as we were light on content in several areas, we steered away from such questions where we could, but now we need to tackle them head on which, invariably, will mean we will start to drive some interesting conversations about how our product SHOULD be used.
None of this is, as ever, rocket science, but there is a level of change management that we need to consider.
In the end we should end up with, in essence, an information matrix.
Down the left side will be headings corresponding to the types of content we have (or need to write), and across the top will be a list of the areas of the product we document. I say "will be" because we are still trying to fully understand what those areas are, and to make sure that the terminology we use will be understand and used consistently across the company. Once that matrix is in place, we can audit what we have and see where the gaps are.
Thankfully, once we understand the new structure, the act of restructuring the information will be easy. The joys of single source, topic based authoring!
I won't, however, mention the third level of complexity we are trying to tackle as I'm not quite sure I've got a handle on it yet. Suffice to say that we need to make sure the new information structure we decide on within the product documentation, also needs to fit into a wider piece that is being introduced to our developer community website (same basic idea though, creating landing pages on 'topics' or 'product areas' to direct users to product documentation, elearning material or support notes).
It's a bit like doing a big jigsaw and at the moment I've only just managed to finish the outline.

Prince Harry Rocks Out with Cressida Bonas
Prince Harry's girlfriend Cressida Bonas seems to be keeping pace with the "party boy" prince.
The pair were seen Saturday at Britain's Glastonbury rock festival, where they took in the Rolling Stones show together.
Though Harry, 28, managed to duck photographers, Bonas, 24, was spotted in distressed denim overalls, white Nikes and neon green sunglasses - at one point with a drink in her hand and, later, a plate of fries.
The festival's organizer, Michael Eavis, told The Telegraph that after the Stones concert ended at midnight, he recommended that the couple come back later to take in some of the local nightlife.
"I told him to get his taxi driver to come back at five o'clock in the morning, and do you know what? He lasted until four in the morning."
"His friends were all having a great time. He didn't want to make a formal thing of being here," Eavis added.
According to People, Bonas and Harry have been dating for about a year but their romance heated up earlier this year. In recent months, the pair have been seen skiing the Alps, partying in London and attending the June 22 wedding of friends Tom van Straubenzee and Melissa Percy, where Harry's ex, Chelsy Davy, was a bridesmaid.

What is the Best Cat Food Brand? – Vet's Advice On Cat Food Brands
Dr. Debra – I don't know what to feed my cat. What do you think is the best cat food brand?
Robin R. Lancaster, PA
Dear Robin,
Thanks for your question. You asked a very good and common question – what is the best cat food brand? That is a difficult question to answer but I'll give you my opinion on cat food brands.
The most important thing you can do is to feed a good quality premium food. These foods tend to be very consistent from bag to bag and these companies work to ensure there is a consistent formulation that provides required vitamins and nutrients.
In general, premium cat food brands tend to be better quality than common store or off cat food brands.
There is no regulating body that checks that the different cat food brands are nutritionally balanced and contain high quality ingredients or that they maintain any type of consistency. Historically, many pets have become ill from being fed poor quality foods.
Premium cat food brands tend to stick to high quality ingredients, are balanced and consistent from bag to bag. My favorite premium cat food brands (ones I use on my own pets) include Hills Science Diet, Iams, Eukanuba, and Waltham products.
Dr. Debra

"By default, we are all dark-skinned... ."
So says Yale geneticist Kenneth K. Kidd in response to some remarkable research suggesting that white Europeans are genetic freaks. So much for the Mormon's cultish assertion that Jesus is a white man.
Closer to home, if black people are the anthropological norm, why is Portland Public Schools Superintendent Vicki Philllips obsessing about the nearly all black Jefferson High School? Her latest proposals for further segregating the school by gender and -can you believe this?- school uniforms, all in the name of improving the district's "worst" high school, are really bizarre. And entirely uncalled for.
As I wrote in this post last March, Jefferson is far from the district's "worst" high school, even going by the silly test score criteria we use annually to determine which schools are "performing" well. Based on the district's own test score data, I concluded that Jefferson actually "outperformed" Roosevelt and Marshall. But I went further:
"One could argue, however, since many of the higher scoring students from Jefferson's feeder schools probably choose to attend Grant or Benson, that Jefferson is actually doing a better job of educating its students than Lincoln. Based on test scores, it's educational program is certainly superior to Wilson's, the second wealthiest high school in the district."
The best thing the district can do to improve Jefferson is to get rid of it's lax transfer and open enrollment policy. That, and that alone, is reponsible for Jefferson's plummeting student enrollment.
I heard state Superintendent of Education Susan Castillo gush shamelessly (and stupidly) about Lincoln High School a couple of days ago. "It's a fabulous school with fabulous students," she proclaimed. She's right about the students. They're mostly white, wealthy, and advantaged, which is what makes Lincoln such a "fabulous" school.
Let Jeff keep the best and brightest of its students, and Castillo may someday be singing the praises of another "fabulous" school in North Portland.

Thankfully, I may have found my mani-pedi person here in Lima. Just as I left Bogota, I found "my" mani-pedi person there. Then I went on the road and had to search all over again. When I got to Lima, I went to a salon that I had been to before. Sadly, I nearly got a new hole buffed on my nonexistent bunion (it would have been funny if no blood had been shed).
Now, I've found my person: Monica Corneja. Monica is a good advertisement for her business with nice long, healthy, painted nails.
60 Soles (60 Peruvian Suns = about 17 U.S. dollars) for a mani-pedi at your house. Monica only needs a bucket to soak your feet and a small stool/box/etc. to sit on while carving the bunions and coarse skin off your feet. She takes pride in her ability to feel the rough areas of your feet.
Monica doesn't speak English (so it's a good opportunity to practice Spanish). Her telephone/whatsapp number is 950-070-925.

The Indian loan market is expected to reach a size of I.N.R. 21,000 billion by the end of 2016 with a C.A.G.R. of over 19% over the last five years.
However I think that the lending industry hasn't done enough. Bad loans is a big problem but it isn't the only impediment that the R.B.I. needs to comment on. Getting a loan is a tedious procedure.
It might look simple in the bank's advertisement, but the fact remains that there are a lot of hiccups in the entire process.
Lack of last mile connectivity and lifecycle management of the process leads to many of the loan applications not even passing the first test. It could be the age criteria, income criteria, proper documents not being submitted, the bank not being able to verify your details properly, not passing the field investigations conducted by the bank and many more.
Almost 40% of the loan requirements come from small business activities and family events. Keeping proper documents ready and providing verifiable details to sail through the draconian process becomes even more difficult.
Getting a loan depends on the repayment capacity of the borrower. Many things come into picture, when the bank decides how much loan a person can get. The monthly income, financial history, other unpaid loans with the borrower, past repayment record, credit card usage history if any, bounced checks, average balance with the banks, continuity in present employment, total years in employment etc. This combined with lack of transparency and personalization of the process makes it more difficult to get the whole amount sanctioned.
(Loan requirements in India)
One of the biggest obstacles in negotiating the cheapest source of debt is that we don't know the relevant figures to do so. Banks try to convince us that they have a scheme for the credit wise but is there any backing on the same?
There isn't a facility of detailed comparison to counter the interest rate dilemma, no genuine advisory service on transfer charges, down payments and valuation of properties which makes us even more helpless and we end up choosing the loan whose advertisement has a more credible celebrity.
The above-mentioned problems are very common when you apply for the loan and the process starts. Thanks to upcoming online borrowing and lending platforms to help us discover effective credit solutions and bridge the gap between borrowers and lenders. Platforms like Creditnation.in are working as lead aggregators to recommend the best solution for both the parties.
Beating the system by end to end delivery and personalized advisory on loans, these online lending platforms are helping us to compare and apply for real time offers. Long-term customer relationship and in house credit appraisal have become the key to get it financed in 3-4 days without finding the nearest bank branch or falsifying documents.
Well, it's the start of the Fintech industry which will take considerable time to get RBI's nod and change the lending scenario.
Till then, keep expecting loan calls from your bank.

Summary [Summary ]
In December 1996, both chambers of the Swiss parliament unanimously approved a Federal Decree to appoint a commission of experts whose task was to conduct a historical and legal probe into the fate of assets which reached Switzerland as a result of the National Socialist regime. After a five-year period of investigative activity, the Independent Commission of Experts Switzerland Second World War (ICE) is pleased to present its Final Report to the public in German (original version), French, Italian, and English. The Final Report is divided into seven main chapters and comprises approximately 600 pages. It is published by the Federal Publications and Supplies Office (EDMZ) and commercialized by Pendo Editions Zurich. In addition, the Final Report will also be accessible beginning 22 March 2002 (from 12:00 pm) on internet (www.uek.ch).
On 19 December 2001, exactly five years after the Swiss government (Federal Council) had named the members of the Independent Commission of Experts Switzerland Second World War and entrusted them with a detailed description of their investigative tasks, the ICE chaired by Prof. Jean-François Bergier concluded its mission of historical research and, seizing the occasion of its official dissolution by the Federal Council, formally presented Federal Councillor Ms. Ruth Dreifuss with a copy of its concluding report. The production phase, which included the task of translating along with the organization of publishing and printing, lasted about three months, and the ICE is finally able to present its Final Report to the public in the original German as well as in French, Italian, and English versions. It was the common desire of both the ICE and the Federal Council that the Report be published simultaneously in all of these languages.
between the Studies and the Final Report
Included in the mandate conferred on the ICE was the task of drawing up a Final Report for the attention of the Federal Council. The individual chapters and sub-chapters of this Final Report were written by the members of the Commission, whereas certain parts of the rather lengthy chapter 4 with its twelve sub-chapters as well as chapter 5 were written by the authors of the studies upon the instruction and in cooperation with the Commission. The editing team of the German (original) version of the Final Report was composed of Mario König and Bettina Zeugin.
of the Final Report
Chapter 2 leads the reader into the history of the inter-war years and into the period of the Second World War. It conveys the national setting and the international context within which the rise of the National Socialist regime took place and the crimes of Nazism became possible. Without anticipating the results of the Commission's investigations, it relies on the state of historical research to portray the radical political, economic, and social upheaval of the 1930s and 1940s taken from an international perspective but with a primary accent on how they affected Switzerland.
Chapter 3 deals with the Swiss policy on refugees. In this chapter, the ICE also picks up on the criticism which was particularly directed at the statistics on the acceptance and rejection of civilian refugees further to the December 1999 publication of the interim report "Switzerland and Refugees in the Nazi Era". In addition, the ICE takes a closer look at the criticism that was publicly expressed with respect to the conduct of the Federation of Jewish Communities in Switzerland.
Chapter 4 takes up the topic of the foreign trade connections of Swiss companies and/or their subsidiaries together with the asset transactions that took place especially in the economic area under Nazi hegemony. Here the Commission reverts in part to the results of studies that it has already published. This "Economic Chapter" comprising a total of twelve sub-chapters deals with the topics of foreign trade, the armaments industry and the export of war materials, electricity exports, Alpine transit and transport services, gold transactions, the banking system and financial services, Swiss insurance companies in Germany, industrial companies and their subsidiaries in Germany, the use of prisoners of war and forced labor, «Aryanization», the flight and the looting of cultural assets, and lastly German camouflage and covert asset-relocation operations in Switzerland.
Chapter 5 examines the issues under discussion from a legal point of view. In the sub-chapter on public law for instance, the legal aspects of Swiss war-time government by executive authority, refugee policy, diplomatic protection of Swiss Jews residing abroad, neutrality policy, as well as the question of looted gold are examined and assessed. The sub-chapter on international private law spotlights the dealings in looted cultural assets and trade in foreign securities, as well as the issue of «dormant assets».
Chapter 6 conducts a general survey of issues of property rights in the post-war period and thus delves into core issues the Commission was charged to investigate. This chapter brings together the findings spread out in the numerous individual studies and places them into a larger context. The major points of reference are the 1946 Decree on Looted Assets and the so-called Registration Decree of 1962. In addition, the chapter analyzes the conduct of the major Swiss players (the economy, the government, and the judiciary) with respect to restitution claims after 1945.
In chapter 7, the ICE sifts through all of its newly acquired realizations and insights in order to assess the behavior of the Swiss decision-makers in the areas of politics, the economy, and the judiciary with respect to those who were victims of Nazi injustice. A critical questioning of the historiography of the cold war period together with the historical portrayal painted at the time represent the point of departure for the Commission's historical and legal analysis. The Commission provides its assessment on refugee policy, assets which arrived in Switzerland and their «dormancy» after 1945, neutrality law and neutrality policy, the challenge posed by the Nazi system of injustice to the Swiss constitutional state, as well as the question of how much was known about the Holocaust and on the issue of political responsibility. The ICE also confronts the thesis that Switzerland allegedly prolonged the war.

Collaborating on infrastructure projects using code can introduce challenges such as testing, configuring continuous integration, and deployment pipelines. These things help to ensure that the software is stable, and enables faster releases. These challenges extend to things like Terraform modules that help you share Terraform configuration in your organization. In this post, we'll take a look at how you can configure a continuous integration pipeline to help test and collaborate on Terraform modules using Github Actions.
GitHub Actions gives users the ability to configure actions based on events such as pull requests and merges to their repositories. This feature can be used for Terraform modules managed in GitHub, without having to rely on external tooling.
GitHub Actions relies on a YAML workflow file to specify the steps to execute. A typical workflow for a Terraform module includes
terraform init and
terraform validate commands. The
init command initializes the module and downloads any needed providers. The
validate command helps validate the configuration files in the module and is useful for general verification.
Now, let's take a look at how to construct this workflow with a GitHub Actions workflow file. Create a new workflow file at
/.github/workflows/workflow.yaml in the root of the GitHub repository. The content of the workflow file should be as follows:
name: Terraform CI
- master
name: Validate
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
- name: Check out code
uses: actions/checkout@v1
- name: Run a Terraform init
uses: docker://hashicorp/terraform:0.12.11
entrypoint: terraform
args: init
- name: Run a Terraform validate
uses: docker://hashicorp/terraform:0.12.11
entrypoint: terraform
args: validate
First, we name the workflow "Terraform CI". Next, we specify that this workflow should be triggered on a pull request event opened against the master branch.
Then, we define each step to be run during this workflow. In the example, we use the predefined
checkout action to retrieve the code contained in the repository. After retrieving the contents of the repository, we specify steps to execute
terraform init and
terraform validate commands using the Terraform container from Docker Hub.
By using these steps, we can initialize and validate the syntax of Terraform modules in Github without setting up additional tooling. Teams can collaborate on modules and push to the repository with a continuous integration workflow.
In addition to validating Terraform code, we can extend this workflow to incorporate automated testing of modules. This is especially important when multiple developers are collaborating on a module, and helps continuously verify that it executes as expected.
We now update our example with the addition of a step to execute unit tests implemented with Terratest, a Golang library for running tests against Terraform.
name: Terraform CI
- master
name: Validate
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
# Steps omitted for clarity
- name: Set up Go 1.13
uses: actions/setup-go@v1
go-version: 1.13
id: go
- name: Get dependencies
run: |
if [ -f Gopkg.toml ]; then
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golang/dep/master/install.sh | sh
dep ensure
go get -v -t -d ./...
- name: Test
working-directory: /home/runner/work/terratest-demo/terratest-demo/test
run: go test
Similar to the previous section, we use the
setup-go action to bootstrap a Golang environment to stage the unit tests. Next, we pull down the dependencies for the test code in order to execute
go test. Before running the tests, we change to the directory containing the test files, located in
To ensure a potentially disruptive configuration does not affect a stable Terraform module, we protect the master branch from merging a pull request with failing checks. We go to the "Settings" tab on the GitHub repository and select the "Branches" section.
We select "Require status checks to pass before merging" and choose the status checks created by the GitHub actions workflow. Finally, we click "Create" to save the branch protection rule. This will ensure that pull requests can't be completed until the checks have passed.
In this post, we covered how GitHub Actions enables a flexible, native continuous integration pipeline for Terraform modules without the need to depend on external tooling. Github Actions enables us to validate syntax, test resources, and maintain the quality of our Terraform modules as we integrate changes to their configurations. To learn more about GitHub Actions, refer to the official documentation.

"This is the first flight of the Air India One-B777 aircraft with the head of State on board. The aircraft is fuel efficient and has a longer range than the B747-400 that are deployed for similar VVIP operations," the statement said.
The aircraft has state-of-the-art interiors with reduced noise levels, it added.
Air India One is the call sign for the VVIP aircraft used by the president, vice president and prime minister.
On the occasion of the inaugural flight of Air India One-B777, Kovind commended the pilots, crew members and the entire team of the Air India and the Indian Air Force for operating the state-of-the-art aircraft and facilitating VVIP movements within the country and on state visits abroad, the statement said.

After the anticipation of Christmas comes the pause of time past and times to come. I feel it like a wave that has hit the shore and retreated to the cycle it plays. Feelings can bombard and thoughts can flow and it is a good time for me to think. I respect this time as it offers me a challenge to be honest with myself, to grow and deepen on my journey. I have great anticipation for the days ahead and am very thankful to have this musical journey to travel.
Failure is inevitable and yet it offers a great place for learning. So before the wave comes back to envelope the sandy shores I am able to accept these transitions and know that the journey is the richer because of it. I really am looking forward to the creating of music and the peace of understanding.
May you have such a Happy New Year as we all anticipate the days to come!
For now

When I was about eleven or twelve years old, my Mom bought a juicer. I'm not sure how popular juicers were in the seventies, but to me, it was a really cool novelty. I loved when she broke that thing out. She'd pull any and every fruit or vegetable we had in the fridge out and laid them all on the kitchen counter. We experimented a lot.
Some juices were really bitter and not sweet at all. I really didn't like them. But, one day she combined carrot and apple. The juice was so sweet and refreshing. I loved it! From then on, that was my favorite. So much so, that I think at one point I may have turned a bit orange!
I still juice, but not regularly (the day someone invents a self-cleaning juicer…then, I'll juice regularly). So, every so often, I get a craving for juices and bend myself into a pretzel to pull that thing out of the back of the cabinet.
I almost always make this juice first. This combination of carrot and apple is still my favorite, but I've found that adding a bit of orange dilutes and softens the slightly bitter taste that can come from carrots. The orange really adds a freshness and brightness to this juice that I really love.
Why call this a "Glow Juice"? It's all about the combination of antioxidants. Carrots contain the antioxidant beta carotene which turns into Vitamin A in our bodies. Vitamin A helps form and maintain healthy skin. The other important vitamin is Vitamin C. It stimulates the production of collagen in our skin.
I don't recommend drinking much more than one serving a day. There is a lot of natural sugar in this juice and too much beta carotene will have you turning orange just like I did as a kid. It's harmless and will go away as soon as you stop consuming the juice, but keep that in mind!
People use juices in different ways. Some do cleanses where they only consume juices for anywhere from a day to three or more days. I've done those juice cleanses, but, to me, juices make a better addition to a healthy diet instead of being a replacement for healthy whole foods.
So, if you're new to juicing, this is a great one to start with. It tastes delicious. See my notes below for juicing tips!
Carrot Apple Glow Juice
- 2 large organic carrots tops trimmed
- 1 organic Granny Smith apple cut into quarters
- 1 Naval orange quartered and peeled
- Special equipment: Juicer
- Place the ingredients into the juicer according to the manufacturer's directions.
- Drink or place in a tightly sealed glass container and refrigerate immediately. Keeps for about two days.

It looks like Hillary is terrified of Trump's new poll numbers….
According to The Hill:
"Hillary Clinton's campaign is fundraising off polls that show her lead over Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has evaporated.
"I'm pointing this out because it's part of a broader trend," Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook wrote in an email to supporters of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee about the polling.
"Poll after poll is showing that Trump has been eating away at our lead, and after his convention, he's erased it entirely," Mook added.
While the campaign aide argued they expected "some of that," as candidates traditionally get a bounce after their conventions, "that doesn't make these next few weeks any less critical."
The fundraising appeal asks for supporters to pitch in $1 for Clinton's campaign."

Succumbing to Self-Defeat — Alton's After-Show
When chefs enter Cutthroat Kitchen, they're likely expecting a bit — or a lot — of sabotage to be dealt upon them by their rivals. After all, it's this play-or-be-played mentality that makes the competition as fiercely cutthroat at is it. But what they may not expect is that some of their most prominent challenges will likely come not from their dwindling cash supply, another contestant or unexpected ingredient swaps, but rather from themselves and their ideas about how to succeed in Cutthroat Kitchen.
On this week's After-Show, judge Simon Majumdar and host Alton Brown noticed that in almost every round of cooking, chefs faced significant obstacles — some so damaging that they led to eliminations — on account of their own shortcomings. "He wasn't sabotaged there," Alton told Simon of Chef Scipione's absence of bread in his Round 1 cheese steak sandwich. "He just didn't make it out of the pantry with any bread." This oversight ultimately cost Chef Scipione his place in the competition, as Simon noted that the chef's finished dish "wasn't a Philly cheese steak in any form that I would recognize."
For another competitor, the problem proved to be not mere forgetfulness but an inability to work well under pressure. "I think he got stuck," Simon said of Chef Zadi in Round 3, in which he was forced to make a pizza using a pie. "I think he just didn't know where to go to make a really good pizza." While it's no surprise that competitors are left with few ideas of how to proceed when faced with last-minute ingredient changes and diminishing time on the clock, Alton explained: "Sometimes the cooking wins and sometimes the game play wins. And today, the game play won." In the end, he warns, "Confidence can kill, but then not having enough will kill too."
Click the play button on the video above to hear more from Alton and Simon, then chat about the show with fellow fans in the comments below. What did you think of how the chefs handled this week's challenges? Were the competitors a greater threat to themselves than the sabotages?
Tune in to a new episode of Cutthroat Kitchen next Sunday, Sept. 8 at 10pm/9c.

Music is one of the most profound unifying influences and what joy is there in a carefully curated playlist if you cannot share it with someone? Belkin is probably best known for its routers and wireless solutions, but the company's Rockstar accessory is a must for any music lover who enjoys sharing songs.
The little device is actually very simple in design, but has the potential create a lot of happiness. The five-port dongle allows up to five people to plug in a 3.5mm audio jack into one of the ports and listen to the same music as the owner.
A 3.5mm cable protrudes from the one end, which will be inserted into an audio device such as an iPod or smartphone, and simply by plugging another pair of headphones into an open slot, the user will enjoy an easy listening experience.
The packaging also includes a 3.5mm-to-3.5mm cable so that a second audio device can be plugged into the mix, giving users the opportunity to play and share their favourite tracks with each other across two audio devices.
The casing of the Rockstar is incredibly sturdy, so users will not have to worry when it gets dropped or bashed around in a bag.
Sharing music with other listeners is one thing, but transferring data is an entirely different matter altogether. While the Rockstar will not allow you to transfer data, Sandisk's Cruzer Pop USB flash drive will transfer any data in a quick and funky fashion.
The Pop comes in a number of interesting and colourful designs, suited for almost any lifestyle or colour choice. From paint splatter, tribal or a carbon fibre design, the little devices are available in 32GB, 16GB, 8GB, and 4GB sizes and have a rather unique way of opening.
Instead of having a traditional lid, the Pop literally pops open in the middle of the device, exposing the business end which gets inserted into a USB port. The flat design also makes it easy to carry in a pocket or purse, and also has a hole in the top for attaching to a key ring.
While the POP only makes use of USB 2.0, each one comes pre-installed with 2GB of cloud storage offered by YuuWaa and SanDisk SecureAccess software.
If a funky design is something that attracts your attention, the Sandisk Cruzer Pop will make for the perfect accessory to transfer files on the go.

Richland Balsam Climber's Log
Brian Kalet - Jan 15, 2018 7:38 pm Date Climbed: Nov 6, 20165 Peaks
With Mount Pisgah, Little Bald Mountain, Stony Bald & Grassy Knob.
joseyinnet - Apr 22, 2016 10:33 pm Date Climbed: Apr 19, 2016Early morning stroll
A casual stroll through the woods to the ridge top. The return leg of the loop has some pretty great views. Celebrated by stopping at a Waffle House for the first time ever
technicolorNH - Aug 27, 2014 7:00 am Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2014Fast bounce
Quick jaunt up the slope from the overlook which has the high point of the BRP. Easier from the actual trail which is how I descended.
Dundeel - May 4, 2014 7:41 pm Date Climbed: May 2, 2014Blue Ridge PW pullout
A couple of trees down on the trail. One was rotted and I cleared it away but the other will have to wait for someone with a saw.
kavak - Sep 11, 2009 10:40 am Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2009From Blue Ridge Parkway
I was a little bit tired after my hike up Mt Guyot the day before, so this was a welcome relief as far as distance goes. My wife and I found a bucketfull of blackberries while enroute. We were the only ones on the summit and only saw one other couple while on the trail. Surprising!
friday - Aug 10, 2009 1:42 am Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2009Fun loop to summit
Found the trailhead after searching near the high point of the BRP. The trail was a bit rugged, a bit steep at times and full of roots, but not too challenging. I met a couple in their late 60's who were hiking up for their third time and they were quite an inspiration to me for when I reach their age. I hope to be in half the shape they are when I turn 65.
tioga - May 19, 2009 8:44 am Date Climbed: May 16, 2009Haywood-Jackson Overlook
After climbing Reinhart Knob, I followed the parkway to the Haywood-Jackson Overlook and took the loop trail around the top and back down.
Tbacon251 - Sep 1, 2008 6:40 am Date Climbed: Aug 22, 2008Found it!
made the trip up after stopping at the BRP highpoint. Would not have found it if not for summitpost! Not bad of a hike/climb. Bugs were kind of bad and it was a little hot.
weeds19 - Sep 27, 2007 12:20 am Date Climbed: May 27, 2003Quick stop while driving through
We were collecting state highpoints and this peak was on the way when we needed a break.
surgent - Sep 25, 2007 10:17 am Date Climbed: May 20, 2000Blue Ridge Pkwy hiking tour
The last of about 4-5 hikes I did in one day along the BRP. Mainly did it late in the day, very tired, scratched up from a previous hike. Conditions were pretty good, compared to what others have reported. I hate to say, but I was there for the credit only... I just tagged the sign and turned right around.
slick858 - Sep 9, 2007 7:15 pm Date Climbed: Sep 9, 2007High Speed Drive and Hike
My best friend Gareth and I hiked this VIEWLESS, bee infested, stinky, 6,000 foot hill. Less than 30 min round trip.
gwave47 - Apr 29, 2007 10:41 pm Date Climbed: Apr 28, 2007Route Climbed: Richand Balsam Nature Trail
A little rain here and there made for slippery conditions on the rocks. The temperature wasn't bad and the hike was short. It was enjoyable and an easy 6'er for the bag.
WoundedKnee - Aug 16, 2006 2:15 pm Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2006Nature Trail
OK. Jackson county high point.
royswkr - Jul 26, 2006 11:34 pm Date Climbed: Apr 30, 2005Finally got it on 3rd try
And what a disappointment
GAHikerGirl - Jun 15, 2006 1:32 am Date Climbed: Jun 6, 2006Nice Easy Hike
Nice easy hike. No much in the way of views, but it's a wonderful, cool forest setting. From the parking area, you can view the entire ridge line from Black Balsam to Cold Mountain, including Shining Rock.
mlandau3 - Jun 5, 2006 12:13 pm Date Climbed: Jun 3, 2006CMC Hike 98
Following the chute and deer trail from the parkway over Reinhart Knob down to the MST, we averaged 1/2 mph (and it was mostly downhill). And that was a lot easier than plowing throught the cane on Reinhart's NE ridge. We followed the MST to the Natureland Conservancy area and then headed up to the parkway and Richland Balsam. There's a great view of the western Balsams from the parking lot where the tourist trail begins.
dwhike - Apr 28, 2006 1:40 pmRichland Balsam Loop
I've been up to Richland Balsam a number of times. A great time to go is in the fall when the blueberry's are ripe. Great for the family!
Cortez - Mar 2, 2006 9:44 pm Date Climbed: Oct 29, 2005Richland Balsam Nature Tral
Easy hike with some decent views from the summit.
SteveinFXBG - Jun 19, 2005 10:59 pmRoute Climbed: Richland Balsam Nature Trail Date Climbed: August 28, 2004
This summit doesn't provide many views, but it does provide an eye-opening experience. While there are many dead fir trees around, this trail, at times, walks through tunnels of moist, mossy, (and very much alive) spruce that can get downright dark and cool on a sunny day. It makes you wonder how spectacular these mountain forests could be if they were all healthy.

Title: Genome Detective Coronavirus Typing Tool for rapid identification and characterization of novel coronavirus genomes
Authors: Cleemput S, Dumon W, Fonseca V, Abdool Karim W, Giovanetti M, Alcantara LCJ, Deforche K, de Oliveira T.
Journal: Bioinformatics,btaa145, https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa145: (2020)
Summary: Genome Detective is a web-based, user-friendly software application to quickly and accurately assemble all known virus genomes from next generation sequencing datasets. This application allows the identification of phylogenetic clusters and genotypes from assembled genomes in FASTA format. Since its release in 2019, we have produced a number of typing tools for emergent viruses that have caused large outbreaks, such as Zika and Yellow Fever Virus in Brazil. Here, we present The Genome Detective Coronavirus Typing Tool that can accurately identify the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) related coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) sequences isolated in China and around the world. The tool can accept up to 2,000 sequences per submission and the analysis of a new whole genome sequence will take approximately one minute. The tool has been tested and validated with hundreds of whole genomes from ten coronavirus species, and correctly classified all of the SARS-related coronavirus (SARSr-CoV) and all of the available public data for SARS-CoV-2. The tool also allows tracking of new viral mutations as the outbreak expands globally, which may help to accelerate the development of novel diagnostics, drugs and vaccines to stop the COVID-19 disease..

Shakespeare has played a significant role in American literary and political culture since the time of the Revolution. Drawing upon his recent anthology for the Library of America — "Shakespeare in America"– James Shapiro, Larry Miller Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, considers the alternative history of our nation conveyed in the work of representative American authors, exploring how Shakespeare has served a means to confront some of the issues that have long divided us as a nation.
This lecture, in memory of Walter A. Strauss (1923-2008), who was the Elizabeth and William T. Treuhaft Professor of Humanities, was generously supported by funds provided by The Paul Wurzburger Endowment.
