I'm honestly not sure how much more my heart can take, this week. It is raw.
It's Sacramental Saturday at FGT, and I am dumbfounded, because I spent hours, yesterday, worshipping with people from my tribe who are deeply devoted to worship that includes (and is very often centered around) the Eucharistic meal and the grace it imparts, instituted by Jesus, commanded of us if we seek to both properly remember his death and go out, filled with his life.
I would think that I'm pretty close to out of tears, but they just keep coming. Some have been good: Some have been terrible. At the very least, the floodgates are damaged, but I am beginning to think they have washed away, altogether.
But at least I'm broken. It's necessary if we want to be like Jesus.

COVID-19 antibody test: Roche's Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 test receives FDA EUA
by Press Release
Headlines, US News
On Sunday, Roche announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for its new Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody test.

The test is designed to help determine if a patient has been exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and if the patient has developed antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.
Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 is an immunoassay for the in-vitro qualitative detection of antibodies (including IgG) to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in human serum and plasma. Through a blood sample, the test, which is based on an in-solution double-antigen sandwich format, can detect antibodies to the new coronavirus causing COVID-19, which could signal whether a person has already been infected and potentially developed immunity to the virus.
Based on the measurement of a total of 5272 samples, the Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 assay has 99.81% specificity and shows no cross-reactivity to the four human coronaviruses causing common cold. This means it can lower the chance of false positives due to the detection of similar antibodies that may be present in an individual, but are specific for coronaviruses other than SARS-CoV-2. Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 detected antibodies with 100% sensitivity in samples taken 14 days after a PCR-confirmed infection. The importance of specificity and sensitivity of a particular test will be dependent on its purpose and disease prevalence within a given population.
Hospitals and reference laboratories can run the test on Roche's cobas e analysers, which are widely available around the world. These fully automated systems can provide SARS-CoV-2 test results in approximately 18 minutes for one single test, with a test throughput of up to 300 tests/hour, depending on the analyser.
"Thanks to the enormous efforts of our dedicated colleagues we are now able to deliver a high-quality antibody test in high quantities, so we can support healthcare systems around the world with an important tool to better manage the COVID-19 health crisis," said Severin Schwan, CEO Roche Group. "I am in particular pleased about the high specificity and sensitivity of our test, which is crucial to support health care systems around the world with a reliable tool to better manage the COVID-19 health crisis."
"Our best scientists have worked 24/7 over the last few weeks and months to develop a highly reliable antibody test to help fight this pandemic," said Thomas Schinecker, CEO Roche Diagnostics. "Roche is committed to helping laboratories deliver fast, accurate, and reliable results to healthcare professionals and their patients."
Roche has already started shipping the new antibody test to leading laboratories globally and will ramp up production capacity to high double-digit millions per month to serve healthcare systems in countries accepting the CE mark as well as the U.S.

Q: OS X File Permissions, File Sharing, and Git Here's my setup:
Mac Mini running Snow Leopard

*

*Sharing a folder with a bunch of code in it. The folder and everything in it is set for read/write access for both the main user and the "staff" group

Desktop running Lubuntu 11.04 (LXDE Ubuntu)

*

*Accessing the share using Samba mount point as the Mini's main user

*Also SSHed into Mini (using same user) to run Git commands (haven't yet figured out how or if it's possible to grant read/write permissions to the Git setup on my desktop, doing it like this is slower than SSH anyway)

I'm doing it this way (as opposed to setting up the Mini as a Git server), because I'm looking to have a sort of satellite setup with my laptop (whose harddrive I don't trust after it corrupted a Git repo or three), and wanted to see if the whole setup is possible by using my desktop as guinea pig (I don't like actually working on Macs, and the Mini doesn't handle my workflow and needs well), as well as various other reasons (so please don't say "just set up the Mini as a Git server"). So far, it's been working quite well.
However, I keep running into a particular issue that I'm not sure how to fix. Every so often, one or more files in the share changes the permissions for the "staff" group to read-only.
The cases I've found this to happen so far are:

*

*when I change branches in Git when I've changed a file and left it open in NetBeans (the change is committed to Git)

*when the Mac goes to sleep, the file(s) I have open go to read-only

*sometimes, when I change files on the Linux desktop, the Mac reacts by not only making it read-only, but also by deleting the contents of the file (thank Linus for git checkout [filename] in those cases)
I've worked around 2 by making it not go to sleep after inactivity, but 1 is a little harder, as there are times when I switch between branches frequently, and I often keep the files open for various reasons.
For some reason, the Mini seems to think that the user using the share is part of the "staff" group, but not actually the main user, even though mounting the share uses the same credentials.
So, is there a way to either

*

*make sure the file doesn't go to read-only for the "staff" group, or

*make the mount be recognized as the same user as the owner of the share?

A: I suggest you replace samba with NFS in your setup, samba is alien to both Linux and Mac.

Aodan Fox to star in One-Man Muse Production!
September 1, 2022 2022 A Night in November, News, ProductionsMartin McNelis
Muse Productions are delighted to return one again to the stage this September 15th to 17th with a wonderful piece of theatre titled "A Night in November". Written by Marie Jones of "Stones in His Pockets" fame, "A Night in November" follows Kenneth Norman McCallister, a Protestant dole clerk working in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He has "cleanly discriminated" against Catholics throughout his life, and indeed he gains much pleasure when he gets accepted into the golf club ahead of his Catholic boss. This continues until he witnesses the hatred directed towards the Catholic supporters of the Republic of Ireland at a 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifying game against Northern Ireland which causes him to question his beliefs and his identity as a British Protestant in Northern Ireland. The play shows how Kenneth deals with his identity crisis through monologues and soliloquies as well as introducing numerous other characters for Kenneth to interact with, all played by the one actor, the multiple award winning Aodan Fox.
Aodan is well known to Shannon audiences for his many roles with Shannon Musical Society, Icarus Drama Group and more recently with Muse Productions. This is a tour de force performance by Aodan, playing multiple roles of all ages and sexes, from Kenneth's kids, to his wife, her father, their friends and many more besides. Beautifully directed by Ted Germaine this is a treat for all ages, although some of the themes may be too mature for very young children. Muse are delighted to be back once again in Hope Café, where we performed "The Crucible", and more recently "Love, Loss and What I Wore" and "Closer than Ever". Once again we are indebted to our sponsors in Shannon Springs Hotel and EI Company, without whose support we simply couldn't survive.
Tickets are €10 and are available from our new Online Booking System at https://www.ticketsource.eu/muse or indeed by phone at (087) 413 6822
Tickets also available on the door provided we have availability


Secure handling of personal data of SurveyXact users is well known amongst our customers. However, the most important focus area in the development of the best DIY survey tool on the market has been to ensure the secure handling of personal data for respondents. With hundreds of customers in both the public as well as the private sector, we are proud to set the standard for ensuring compliance with applicable laws regarding the handling of personal data in our industry. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that we now introduce our new GDPR- and administration features in SurveyXact. These features have been developed so that you, as a SurveyXact user, are able to comply with your obligations as data responsible in a simple and efficient way. This concerns the rights and anonymity for the data subject (the respondent) amongst other things.
The feature "Anonymize" is found under the "Data Collection" tab.
This feature provides the option to anonymize data after completion of data collection or analysis. Data is anonymized through deletion of background-, questionnaire- and/or system data from your survey so that it no longer will be possible to connect data to a specific respondent.
You decide which data that is to be anonymized and which data that is to be permanently deleted. It is also an option to use time filters in order to effect the anonymization of data in a precise manner.
It is now possible to isolate a respondents answers in order to change or delete data from one specific respondent in those cases where a respondent should wish to either change or withdraw his/her consent. This activity can be performed in no time across all surveys and with only a few clicks.
It is required for you to have the role of "Organization Manager" in the organization in order to use this new feature.
The search- and deletion feature is found on the start page in SurveyXact (The house tab). Click on the icon on the right-hand side of the top "Organization" an select "Find and delete respondents". There, you can search for surveys containing data on the respondent of concern. You can search for the respondent by entering either email address or phone number.
Since return mails may contain personal data as well, it is necessary to have the option to delete these in order to comply with GDPR. It has always been possible to delete return mails from a survey. This new feature has simply shortened the process of deleting return mails.
All return mails in a survey can be deleted under "Data Collection" > "Return mails" > "Delete".
Another new addition to the "Return mail" feature is export of return mails to Excel. This does not concern GDPR but will make it easier for users to work with their return mails. Do this by selecting "Export all returned mails" under "Data Collection" > "Return mails" > "Manage".


The annual campout is fast approaching an date club is looking to tie down final numbers. Full details are in the photo gallery section on the home page of the site.
It is a great weekend and Tayto Park is full of surprises!

How did Gandalf end up on top of the tower?
In the film, unlike the books, Gandalf was forcibly transported (levitated) to the top of the tower via Saruman's magic, after Gandalf discovered the White Wizards's treachery.
How did Gandalf and the Balrog get on top of a mountain?
Gandalf placed a shutting spell on Durin's Door in Moria but the door was too old and it shattered and the balrog began to gain on the Ring bearer… gandalf had to make his stand on Durins bridge, it was his fate to rise above.
How did Gandalf escape the abyss?
From the lowest pit to Durin's Tower. First, Gandalf grabbed onto the Balrog as he tried to escape through a maze of tunnels under the earth and then he took the stair to the top of Zirak-Zigil. The Endless Stair. The top of the mountain is his spawn point.

Where did Gandalf go when he fell?
Gandalf and the Balrog fall into a deep subterranean lake in Moria's underworld. Gandalf pursues the Balrog through the tunnels for eight days until they climb to the peak of Zirakzigil. Here they fight for two days and nights. In the end, the Balrog is defeated and cast down onto the mountainside.
What Balrog did Gandalf kill?
Gandalf the Grey faced Durin's Bane on the bridge of Khazad-dûm. He forbade the Balrog's passage and broke the bridge beneath him. The Balrog ensnared him with his whip, and the two fell.
How long was Gandalf fight with the Balrog?
It was the Balrog that Gandalf had fought and eventually defeated after ten days of fighting.
Does the Balrog kill Gandalf?
In the end, the Balrog was defeated and cast down, breaking the mountainside where it fell "in ruin". Gandalf himself died shortly afterwards, but he returned to Middle-earth with greater powers, as Gandalf the White, "until his task was finished".
Why did Gandalf kill the Balrog?
Gandalf faced the Balrog because he feared the creature would destroy the Fellowship otherwise. Balrogs are primordial fire spirits, second only to dragons in their capacity for destruction. The Balrog of Moria was not only armed with a fiery whip and a sword of flame, it was also a very powerful magic user.
Who is the Balrog Gandalf fights?
Durin's Bane was one of the Maiar spirits that existed before the world was created (of the same race as Gandalf and Saruman), who descended into Arda with the Valar. It was eventually seduced and corrupted by Melkor, becoming one of the Valaraukar and joining with the other Balrogs in Morgoth's service.

Why did Gandalf kill himself?
Gandalf intentionally let go of himself, so that he could die and pass the moral test and enhance his powers to become Gandalf the White. Gandalf is not only a fan-favorite character in The Lord of the Rings franchise, but he is also adored by all the literature and cinema enthusiasts.
Is Legolas older than Gandalf?
Legolas is older than Gandalf. Gandalf (Olorín) is a Maya Who has took the form of a wizard (Istari). If his physical form will die, as it did in the second movie, he will have a "new one", because he is immortal. Gandalf is 2 019 years old at the time of the war of the ring.
Does the Witch King break Gandalf's staff?
Gandalf's white staff was broken when he fought the Witch – king atop one of the Minas Tirith walls when he attempted to deflect a flaming attack from the Lord of the Nazgûl's sword.
Why did the Valar not stop Sauron?
Sauron realized there was no way he could defeat them by force so he surrendered himself to them. Sauron then convinced the king to attack Valinor. Because of that, the Valar decided to destroy Númenor, and Sauron's physical form perished along with it.
How does Gandalf die?
So when Gandalf confronts the Balrog on the Bridge of Moria he faces a real and deadly danger. But he realizes the Quest is in peril and so sacrifices himself to ensure their escape; he falls from the bridge and fights the Balrog, but is himself killed. Yet he returns and is enhanced in power and clothed in white.

From Harvard and Yale to Princeton and Rutgers, the African slave trade and the practice of slavery helped to fund a surprising number of American colleges and universities. New Brunswick Theological Seminary is counted among them. Recently, the NBTS Anti-Racism Transformation Team, in conjunction with the Dean's Office, sponsored a workshop to explore and address the ties between the Seminary and slavery.
The event was organized and hosted by Dr. John W. Coakley, L. Russell Feakes Memorial Professor of Church History at NBTS; Dr. Willard W.C. Ashley, Sr., Dean of the Seminary and Associate Professor of Practical Theology; and Vernon Williams, Development Officer.
The Slavery, Justice and New Brunswick Theological Seminary Workshop examined the presence of African Americans (enslaved and free) in the Seminary and city of New Brunswick in the early years; the involvement of Seminary officers, benefactors and others in the institution of slavery; the views of the Seminary, its students and leaders in the debates on slavery and abolition in the years leading up to the Civil War; and how NBTS should take account of these parts of its history in its present policies and vision of the future.
The NBTS students, faculty and alumni in attendance were joined by Dr. Deborah Gray White, Board of Governors Distinguished Professor of History at Rutgers University. Dr. White is also the Chair of Rutgers' Committee on Enslaved and Disenfranchised Populations in Rutgers History.
A number of Rutgers University's founders and early benefactors were slave holders. The Committee on Enslaved and Disenfranchised Populations is charged with examining the role disadvantaged groups played in the founding and development of Rutgers University, and make recommendations on how the University can best acknowledge their influence on its history. Dr. Coakley was asked by Rutgers to join the committee.
As for NBTS, slaver connections between the Reformed Church in America and the early Seminary are well documented in each organization's archives, but there is very little awareness of the information.
The Seminary was formed under the Reformed Dutch Church (now known as the Reformed Church in America). Slavery was part of the Dutch colonization, and there were African slaves already in "New Netherland" (the Dutch culture area of the NJ and NY river valleys). The early Seminary was funded in large part by subscriptions, which were essentially donations that made the Seminary viable. The subscribers included Henry Rutgers (Rutgers University's namesake) and John Henry Livingston (first NBTS President), who were both slave owners.
"The point to remember here is that the Seminary was the child of the church, and really much more than that – it was an organ of the church, indistinguishable from the church. By definition, that means it was deeply rooted in a community where slavery was a given," said Dr. Coakley.
John Bergen and Alfred Islay Walden (Class of 1879) were the first African Americans to graduate from New Brunswick Theological Seminary. Most is known about Walden (1847-1884), who was born a slave in North Carolina and gained freedom only after Emancipation. Sold twice as an infant, he was recognized at a young age for his abilities in mental math calculations and language. Determined to become a minister, Walden walked to Washington, D.C., during the winter of 1867 and supported himself by publishing his poems and giving lectures.
Walden enrolled at Howard University on scholarship, earning his degree in 1876. Despite his struggles with poverty and near blindness, he returned to New Jersey and received a scholarship to attend NBTS.
As he did in Washington, D.C., Walden used what little money he had to establish a neighborhood ministry and Sunday school for needy African Americans in New Brunswick.
In an eloquent letter to Professor David D. Demarest (Class of 1840, Professor 1864-98) about his tuition, Walden provides a glimpse into how he saw and experienced the Seminary and the city of New Brunswick. This is the first documented instance of an African American speaking of his experience at NBTS.
The Executive Committee of the Anti-Racism Transformation Team has now officially created the Task Force on Slavery, Justice and New Brunswick Seminary. It has a mandate to create a report on the historic involvement of the Seminary with the institution of slavery and the place of African Americans in the Seminary's history, and to then make recommendations for action based on the findings.
