10-year-old Coder

An excerpt from Business Insider -

This 10-year-old coder is already so successful she's caught the attention of Google and Microsoft
By Julie Bort

Samaira Mehta is a 10-year-old girl growing up in Silicon Valley who has quietly attracted an almost cult-like following because of her work as a programmer.

She's the founder and CEO of a company called CoderBunnyz that's earned national media recognition and landed her speaker roles at nearly a dozen Valley conferences (and counting).

It all started when she was just eight and created a game called CoderBunnyz to help teach other kids how to code. She'd been coding since she was six.

Can This Be Replicated?

An excerpt from the Atlantic -

The Little College Where Tuition Is Free and Every Student Is Given a Job
Berea College, in Kentucky, has paid for every enrollee’s education using its endowment for 126 years. Can other schools replicate the model?
By ADAM HARRIS

Berea College isn’t like most other colleges. It was founded in 1855 by a Presbyterian minister who was an abolitionist. It was the first integrated, co-educational college in the South. And it has not charged students tuition since 1892. Every student on campus works, and its labor program is like work-study on steroids. The work includes everyday tasks such as janitorial services, but older students are often assigned jobs aligned to their academic program, and work on things such as web production or managing volunteer programs. And students receive a physical check for their labor that can go toward housing and living expenses. Forty-five percent of graduates have no debt, and the ones who do have an average of less than $7,000 in debt, according to Luke Hodson, the college’s director of admissions.

On top of all of that: More than 90 percent of Berea College students are eligible to receive the Pell Grant—often used as a proxy for low-income enrollment. Most of those students, 70 percent to be exact, are from Appalachia—where nearly one of every five people live below the poverty line. And that recruiting pipeline in Appalachia produces a rather diverse class—more than 40 percent of the student body identify as racial minorities.

"Whitey on the Moon"

An excerpt from the Washington Post -

Why ‘First Man’ prominently features Gil Scott-Heron’s spoken-word poem ‘Whitey on the Moon’
By Sonia Rao

Chazelle and Singer executed the idea by depicting both the perseverance of those in the space program and the passionate feelings of those opposed to its cost. A memorable scene captures this dissonance by juxtaposing the Apollo 1 disaster, in which a fire killed three astronauts during preflight testing, with people protesting NASA’s program — all set to a rousing reading of musician and poet Gil Scott-Heron’s work “Whitey on the Moon.”

“A rat done bit my sister Nell, with whitey on the moon,” Leon Bridges, who plays Scott-Heron, recites over a drum beat. “Her face and arms begin to swell, and whitey’s on the moon. I can’t pay no doctor bills, but whitey’s on the moon. Ten years from now I’ll be payin' still, while whitey’s on the moon.” (Click here to read the full poem.)

It's a White Thing at HBCUs

An excerpt from the NY Times -

White Kickers and Punters at Black Colleges Are a Thing
There are not many black kickers and punters in the country, even at the nation’s historically black colleges and universities.
By Marc Tracy

When Granville Eastman was Austin Peay’s defensive coordinator several years ago, his team frequently played Tennessee State, a historically black university in Nashville.

Every time Tennessee State sent players onto the field who were not black, he recalled half-jokingly last week, “that’s when you knew they were punting.”

Now Eastman is the interim head coach at another historically black university, North Carolina Central, and opposing coaches can say similar things about his team. The Eagles’ place-kicker is white. Same goes for the long snapper and the punter, who also holds the ball on field goals. An Italian, who is also white, handles the kickoffs.

Hell Hath No Fury

An excerpt from the Washington Post -

Hell hath no fury like an entitled white man denied
By Jonathan Capehart

But the histrionics of Graham and Kavanaugh showed once again how hell hath no fury like an entitled white man denied. No humility. No contrition. No humanity beyond his narrow interests.

Strong words broadly brushed, I know. But I’m done tiptoeing around powerful men like Kavanaugh and Graham when their bruised, tender feelings will have an impact on my life and my country.
