The Associated Press | January 31, 2014
Former La Salle star and DI career rebounding leader Gola dies
PHILADELPHIA -- Tom Gola, the Hall of Famer who led La Salle to the 1954 NCAA title, still holds the Division I record for career rebounds and helped the Philadelphia Warriors win the 1956 NBA championship, died Sunday. He was 81.
Gola's wife, Caroline, said he died at St. Joseph's Manor in Meadowbrook. Gola was seriously injured in 2003 after he fell and hit his head on a curb and was in a coma for several days.
Gola also led La Salle to the 1952 NIT title and a runner-up finish in the 1955 NCAA tournament. He set the NCAA Division I record for career rebounds with 2,201 and scored 2,461 points. He and former George Washington player Joe Holup are the only players in Division I history to top 2,000 in both points and rebounds.
Gola later coached at La Salle, where the arena is named after him.
"Tom was a Philadelphia icon whose name is synonymous with basketball," said Brother Michael J. McGinniss, La Salle's prsident. "His legacy will live on at La Salle forever and in the university's Tom Gola Arena."
A Philadelphia folk hero whose legions of fans screamed "Go, Gola, Go!" whenever he touched the ball, Gola was one of only two players to win NIT, NCAA and NBA championships.
"When I was growing up, you whispered the name Tom Gola, because he was like a saint," late Warriors teammate Wilt Chamberlain once said.
Late UCLA coach John Wooden called Gola the "greatest all-round basketball player" ever.
Part of his popularity stemmed from the fact that Gola, the eldest son of a Philadelphia policeman, chose to play at a hometown college despite receiving more than 50 scholarship offers.
A three-time All-American, the 6-foot-6 Gola averaged nearly 21 points and 19 rebounds for La Salle from 1952-55. He then helped lead the Warriors to the 1956 NBA title as a rookie. He entered the Hall of Fame in 1976.
Gola's career was interrupted from 1956-58 when he served in the Army.
Gola coached La Salle from 1968-70 and finished with a 37-13 record. His 1968-69 team went 23-1, achieving a No. 2 ranking, but was ineligible for postseason play because of NCAA violations under a previous coach.
Gola also was involved in politics. He was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1966 and became Philadelphia city controller in 1970 as then-District Attorney Arlen Specter's running mate.
He was regional administrator for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in the Reagan administration in the early 1980s, then lost the Republican mayoral primary in 1983.
Gola ran an insurance agency for many years.
"I don't regret anything," Gola said in 1998. "Your body parts wear out, and you move on to something else. That's life."

Tag Archives: story arc
Elizabeth Sims of Writer's Digest writes, "It's not the size of your writer's toolbox that matters—it's how you use what's inside. Become proficient with these two tools and you can fix most any story problem.
The Story Arc
The Elements of a Story Arc
While story arcs vary based on the storytelling medium (novel, short story, television show, etc.), I will summarize a basic story arc in five parts. These parts include:
1. The author creates a status quo. This is the framework in which the story occurs. What is normal life like for the characters before the story begins? This gives the reader background and helps the author develop the character.
2. There is a "trigger." An event that is external to the main character's existence gives him or her a reason to break the status quo. For example, in the classic fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel," the birds eating the children's breadcrumbs and causing them to be lost in the woods is the trigger for their adventure.
3. The trigger causes the main characters to embark on an adventure or a journey. This adventure forms the main part of the story. The adventure may be metaphorical, as it may consist of the protagonist exploring a part of himself or herself or coming to terms with a past injury. During the adventure, one or several plot twists or surprise events will help to give the story substance. They should surprise the reader while remaining plausible.
4. The protagonist makes a decision that steers the course of the story. The kind of decision that the protagonist makes will determine his or her character and how the audience perceives this character. The consequences of this choice result in the climax, which is the point in the story where the tension reaches its peak. This is the turning point and the most exciting part.
5. The tension is resolved. This is done by examining the full consequences of the protagonist's choice and the fallout of the climax. The author explores the new roles of the characters and how the climax has changed the status quo.
Why use story arcs in fiction?
Using a story arc in your writing can help you organize your story and keep the action moving. It can help condense a disorganized collection of small plot twists into a narrative that flows seamlessly and keeps the reader engaged within a broader tale. This is especially useful in long works, like novels, films, and episodic stories like tv episodes and comics. While the downside of the story arc is that it is difficult for readers or viewers who start in the middle of the work to become engaged and understand what is going on, using a story arc can help you develop a loyal following of readers or viewers who want to know what happens next.
Making story arcs work for you
If you are considering using a story arc in your writing, you can either use it as a framework to build your plot or you can use it as a checklist to edit your work. Both ways are useful and which way you choose depends on personal preference and the way you write. You may find it useful to use the components of the story arc as an outline before you begin writing, as it can form a skeleton that you can flesh out with details and prose. Conversely, you can write your story, then fit it into the story arc guidelines and add and remove parts as needed. For instance, you may have an excellent climax but need to develop your status quo and trigger more.
Whether or not it was the initial intention of the author to do so, most stories do follow the story arc guideline. Use this pattern to help you get started, to edit a story in process, or simply to provide forward momentum in your work. The uses of this literary tool are limited only by your imagination.
The Character Arc
The standard definition of a character arc is how your main character changes over the course of your story. It's important to note that there's more out there than just the good guy or gal who's transformed by the end of the story. Not all characters undergo some major transformation. In some cases, your main character will grow, but not transform.
In fact, most character arcs can be simplified to fit into three different, but sometimes overlapping, categories:
The Change Arc (aka the Hero's Journey)
Probably the most common, or at least the most recognizable. By the end of the tale, the main character has conquered and becomes a usually unlikely hero. Some examples include:
Katniss Everdeen's rise from poor hunter to revolutionary hero by the end of The Hunger Games.
Frodo Baggins in The Fellowship of the Ring begins as an eccentric little hobbit with an ordinary life in the Shire. No one would have expected him to overcome so many obstacles and throw the ring into Mount Doom.
And remember, a hero is not necessarily a good guy. Look at Michael Corleone in The Godfather by Mario Puzo. Just home from Vietnam, Michael wants nothing to do with the family business, but an assassination attempt on his father forces him to take action and sends him down the path toward becoming the ruthless leader of New York's most powerful mafia.
The Growth Arc
The standard definition of a character arc is how your main character changes over the course of your story.
The most common form of character arc is the Hero's Journey. An ordinary person receives a call to adventure and, at first, he or she refuses that call. There's usually a mentor who helps the hero accept or learn how to attempt the adventure. Think of Yoda in Star Wars.
There's More to the Character Arc
It's important to note that there's more out there than just the good guy or gal who's transformed by the end of the story. Not all characters undergo some major transformation. In some cases, your main character will grow, but not transform.
1. The Change Arc (aka the Hero's Journey)
2. The Growth Arc
This is where your main character becomes a better version of who he or she really is. Another version of the Growth Arc is a Shift Arc where the main character shifts his opinion or perspective about a certain situation or a group of people. Some examples of a growth arc include:
Skeeter Phelan and her contingent of African-American maids in The Help by Kathryn Stockett. They begin the story timid and oppressed, and through the course of the story, they transform into strong women who take a stand and fight for change.
Richard Chapman in The Guest Room by Chris Bohjalian. In this book, a decent, moral family man throws a bachelor party for his younger brother that gets out of control. The ending is shocking (no spoiler alerts), but it serves to reinforce the main character as an accountable, responsible man.
Briony Tallis in Atonement by Ian McEwan. Briony is a good girl who thinks she's protecting her sister and makes an accusation that haunts her the rest of her life. Her life becomes, in effect, atonement for that one moment.
3. The Negative or Fall Arc (aka the Tragedy)
Our main character fails, he or she is doomed, or death occurs. Shakespeare was excellent at writing compelling tragedies.
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger gives us Henry who can time-travel and change what has or will happen in his life. His wife Clare is left behind to wonder and worry every time he travels. No spoilers, but this is definitely a negative character arc.
Lord of the Flies by William Golding shows us the ugly side of humanity by marooning a group of British school boys on a deserted island who try to govern themselves with disastrous results.
Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller is the tragic ending of Willy Loman, a salesman surrounded by mixed and unaddressed emotions of his family and himself about what life should be.
There you have the three major character arcs. People may—and do—argue that there are more than just these three character arcs and perhaps they're right. It can also be argued that there are no original story lines, just variant degrees of the same plot. Think about it.

Each scene is composed of a miniature story arc. Do you see how closely the steps mimic the story arc? Only Step 5 is different. Step 5 is a thought process for the author to undertake as each scene is written.

Self-Publishing: Why It's Often Treated with Suspicion
Have you fallen asleep or put a book down because you found it boring? The story wasn't moving fast enough; the characters seemed flat—not people, just cut-outs; you were left wondering where did this character come from? First, you put it down as poor editing—you're right. That's only half of it—it's really poor writing. The editor was "trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear", so to speak. That doesn't happen often. More than likely, it was a self-published book that was not properly edited.
It is not my intention to damn self-publishing. Far from it—it is the only sure way for an author to get a work into print. It is cheap and fast and, with a little work, it can be as good as any work published by "the Big Six". The operative phase here is "with a little work". This goes beyond an attractive cover and a nice picture of the author. This means having, usually paying, a professional editor to work over your writing. This editor must look at and beyond grammatical and spelling errors (those should have been caught by the author). This editor will analyze the story arc, character development and make sure everything is brought to a final, believable conclusion. A final note—a spouse, a parent or other relative rarely makes a good final editor. This editor should be unbiased by relationship or friendship.

According to recently released financial statements, the nonprofit health system finished the quarter with operating income of $25.1 million versus $130.5 million in Q2 2017.
• The revenues of Cleveland Clinic rose by 2% to $2.21 billion in 2018 second quarter, up from $2.16 billion in the same period last year, but increased expenses caused an 80% decrease in operating income.
• According to recently released financial statements, the nonprofit health system finished the quarter with operating income of $25.1 million versus $130.5 million in Q2 2017.
• After accounting for non-operating gains, Cleveland Clinic reported net income of $80.7 million for the period, down 73% from $303.3 million the previous year.
The recent trend of health systems and hospitals with strong revenues and declining operating incomes across the healthcare industry can be said to be caused by smaller inpatient volumes and lower reimbursement with increasing labor and operating costs.
Last week, Banner Health posted a 33% decrease in net income for the first half of 2018, despite a 5.9% increase in revenue. Rising expenses also offset revenue gains at Kaiser Permanente, which saw net income down 21% in the first half of this year.
According to last week's Moody's Investors Services report, nonprofit hospitals continue to outspend their revenue growth, and that widening gap is among the difficult headwinds putting them "on an unsustainable path."
At Cleveland Clinic, net patient revenue increased $106.6 million, or 5.7%, in the second quarter of this year, compared with the same period the prior year. However, the system saw a 1.2% decline in same-facility inpatient acute admissions and 2% drops each in same-facility surgical cases and emergency department visits.
Expenses grew 8% year over year from about $1.9 billion to $2.02 billion, fueled by increased costs of salaries, wages and benefits, supplies and pharmaceuticals.
To address the challenge of these rising expenses, the health system said it's developing and implementing cost management and containment plans under its Care Affordability initiative, which launched in 2013 to promote more affordable patient care models.
The second quarter saw the completion of several capital projects, including a $34 million family health center in Lakewood, Ohio, and a $32 million family health center and surgery center in Coral Springs, Florida. Cleveland Clinic also completed and opened a $49 million emergency department at Akron General Medical Center in northeast Ohio.

Fairy Godmother in Cinderella (2021)
The fairy godmother, portrayed by the iconic Billy Porter, is a character in Cinderella (2021). In this iteration, a monarch butterfly transforms into the fairy godmother. Introducing himself as her fabulous godmother, he says Cinderella saved her, and now he plans to send her to the ball. With a rendition of "Shining Star," he uses magic to make one of her gown designs come to life. Of course, he pairs it with the signature glass slippers.
Wasp is a character in the Marvel universe. Her real name is Hope Van Dyne, daughter of Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne. She has a strained relationship with her father, but when Scott Lang enters the picture, she must help them both. Hope is resourceful about the quantum realm as well as skilled in fighting techniques. These traits allow her to embody Wasp, and she teams up with Scott as Ant-Man in the second film. In addition to shrinking and growing, her abilities include flight and energy blasters. Evangeline Lily portrays this role in both installments.
Flynn Rider is a main character in Disney's Tangled. He is a scoundrel and a thief, and all the wanted posters can never get his nose right. He tries to steal Rapunzel's tiara, but she coerces him into taking her to see the floating lanterns. Surely enough, he falls in love with Rapunzel, and realizes his new dream is to be with her. Despite Mother Gothel interfering, Flynn helps the lost princess reunite with her family and reclaim her title. Unlike a typical prince, Flynn is rugged and witty. His real name is Eugene Fitzherbert, yet he goes by Flynn Rider, a fictional swashbuckler from his bedtime stories. He's voiced by Zachary Levi, who you may know as Shazam.
Mary from The Muppets
Mary (played by Amy Adams) is the girlfriend of Gary in The Muppets. An elementary school teacher and a capable mechanic, Mary helps Gary's Muppet brother Walter save the Muppet Theatre. Mary wears many colorful, vintage-inspired outfits throughout the film. When in doubt, reach for bold, bright colors in silhouettes inspired by the 1950s.
Gary from The Muppets
Gary (played by Jason Segel) is the human brother of Walter and one of the main protagonist of The Muppets. Along with his girlfriend Mary, Gary must help Walter and Kermit the Frog get the Muppets back together to save the Muppet Theatre from a greedy businessman. Gary wears many outfits throughout the film, but some of his most memorable include the blue striped pajamas and baby blue suit he wears during different musical numbers. If you can find a Walter plush toy to tag along with your costume, it could truly take it to the next level, though they're difficult to come by.
Ant-Man, aka Scott Lang, is a character in the Marvel universe. Scott Lang starts out as a convict, but he ends up becoming a superhero who must save the world. With the mentoring and technology of Hank Pym, he becomes the new Ant-Man. His abilities include shrinking and growing, as well as communication with ants. Beloved and never-aging actor Paul Rudd portrays this role, bringing a lighthearted sense of humor.

Dimitri from Anastasia
Dimitri (voiced by John Cusack) has spent his life running from the memories of what he saw as a child the night the Romanov family fell. He's never seemed to settle, never really found his place. Not until he stumbles upon the real Anastasia, the girl he helped escape years ago. Only then do things seem to fall into place.
Dimitri has a few looks in the film but his most memorable is probably the first outfit we see him in as an adult. A off-white button-neck shirt and brown slacks are a common look for the time, as are the vest and brown shoes. But with his slick center-parted hair style, Dimitri gives the look a modern spin that makes for a great cosplay.
Kendra Wilson from PAW Patrol: The Movie
In PAW Patrol: The Movie, Kendra Wilson (voiced by Yara Shahidi) is a scientist and the creator of Cloud Catcher, a device that Mayor Humdinger commandeers to clear the weather for his fireworks show. The device goes out of control, causing Ryder and the PAW Patrol to jump into action.
Anthony McCoy from Candyman
Anthony McCoy (played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) is the main protagonist of the Nia DaCosta directed Candyman film. Set twenty years after the original, the new Candyman revolves around Anthony, a visual artist, and his art gallery director girlfriend Brianna Cartwright. Anthony, intrigued by the legend of the Candyman, creates a mirror-themed art exhibit, though it doesn't do as well as he'd like. What follows is a horrific transformation decades in the making. Anthony wears a number of outfits throughout the movie, though some of the most memorable include his paint-stained coveralls after he creates a series of portraits and his burgundy beanie.

Powerline from A Goofy Movie
Powerline (voiced by Tevin Campbell) is the larger-than-life musician idolized by Max Goof in Disney's A Goofy Movie. In a bid to impress his crush Roxanne, Max tells his classmates that he and his father will be performing on stage with Powerline at an upcoming concert. The ruse derails the father-son road trip Goofy actually has planned, culminating in a wild and emotional ride for them both. Powerline's character and performance style were influenced by some of the biggest rock stars of the age including Michael Jackson and Prince. To recreate his look, you'll need a yellow jumpsuit and black boots. A fine-tipped fabric paint applicator can help you add the nuclear-looking design on the front of his uniform. Most importantly, don't forget to belt out I 2 I while busting a move.

Q: Wait before moving on to next iteration I have a function that prints out text from an element, followed by text from an element that is requested from a different webpage.
function together(){
var finalString ="";

 var x = document.getElementsByClassName("h-userinput");
    for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
var text = x[i].innerText || x[i].textContent;
    console.log(text+"\n");

        var query = "#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_ResultsGrid_TB > tr:nth-child(bbcc) > td.total-score-column";
            query = query.replace("bbcc",i+1);

        var poop = ((document.querySelector(query)).onclick.toString());
        text = poop.replace("javascript:location.href=\'","");
        text = text.replace("function onclick(event) {","");
        text=text.replace("}","");
        text = text.replace("\';","");
        text = "https://bartholomew.itslearning.com"+text;

        var url = text;
        fetch(url)
        .then(res => res.text())
         .then((responseText) => {
          const doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(responseText, 'text/html');
        console.log(doc.querySelector("#qti-choiceinteraction-container > tbody > tr.checkedrow > td.answer > div > label > span > p")+"\n");

         })
         .catch((err) => {
          // There was an error, handle it here
         });

    }

//console.log(finalString);

}

The problem is that when I run this, it takes a moment to get a reply from the other webpage, but the loop continues to execute without getting the reply and printing out the result. I would like to wait until the element is printed out before moving on to the next iteration of the loop.

A: The issue here is the combination of synchronous code (ie the for loop) and asynchronous code (the fetch() network request), which is resulting in the undesired behavior you noted. The solution is to block (prevent) subsequent iteration of the loop until the the asynchronous network call in the current iteration has completed.
There are a number of ways to achieve this - one Promise based solution is to use Promise.all() to evaluate multiple promises (ie for each loop iteration), to ensure that all iterations are performed in lock step with each other. See the modified copy of your code below with comments detailing how this can be done:
function together() {
  var finalString = "";

  // Define local helper function that performs iteration logic. We've
  // basically moved the logic from for loop into this "iteration
  // function". A key point to note is that function returns the
  // promise generated by fetch()
  function asyncIteration(hUserInput) {

    var text = hUserInput.innerText || hUserInput.textContent;
    console.log(text + "\n");

    var query = "#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_ResultsGrid_TB > tr:nth-child(bbcc) > td.total-score-column";
    query = query.replace("bbcc", i + 1);

    var poop = ((document.querySelector(query)).onclick.toString());
    text = poop.replace("javascript:location.href=\'", "");
    text = text.replace("function onclick(event) {", "");
    text = text.replace("}", "");
    text = text.replace("\';", "");
    text = "https://bartholomew.itslearning.com" + text;

    var url = text;
    return fetch(url) // Important to "return" this promise, which has
                      // the effect of "blocking" iteration until the
                      // fetch responds
      .then(res => res.text())
      .then((responseText) => {
        const doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(responseText, 'text/html');
        console.log(doc.querySelector("#qti-choiceinteraction-container > tbody > tr.checkedrow > td.answer > div > label > span > p") + "\n");

        // Combine all response text into final string to illustrate
        // iteration of each async request in lock step
        finalString += responseText + " ";

      })
      .catch((err) => {
        // There was an error, handle it here
      });
  }

  // Obtain an array of all elements with class h-userinput
  var hUserInputs = Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("h-userinput"));

  // Map each element to a promise by function above. This has
  // the effect of performing the fetch for each element
  // asynchronously. When each per-iteration fetch has completed, the
  // message below will be logged to console
  Promise.all(hUserInputs.map(asyncIteration)).then(() => {
    console.log("All iterations complete", finalString);
  });

}

Hope that helps!

A: You can use async and await to make it more simpler. Just add async to your function and handle fetch using await.
async function together(){
    var finalString ="";

     var x = document.getElementsByClassName("h-userinput");
    for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {

Brimming with history, the South East of Ireland is fast becoming a tech hub. We examine what the region has to offer for business and why it has resisted adopting a silicon label.
When tech entrepreneurs in south-east Ireland set up a group to promote the region as a tech hub, they resisted adopting a silicon label.
"We decided to use a name that really means something in this area," recalls Elaine Fennelly, a start-up and tech veteran in Waterford who helped launch the group last year and is now its chief executive. They went for Crystal Valley Tech, harking back to the famous local Waterford Crystal business and the area's history of design excellence and fine craftsmanship.
The South East still has strong design credentials, hosting the Crafts Council of Ireland, the National Heritage Council, the Kilkenny Design Workshops and a bustling art and crafts industry. But the fact that most Waterford Crystal has been made outside Ireland since 2009 symbolises the tough economic times the region has suffered over two decades.
Struggling before the Celtic Tiger bubble burst, south-east Ireland crashed harder than other regions – unemployment reached 21%, 5% above the national average. Like elsewhere, it has rebounded strongly, but the jobless rate for the first quarter of 2018 was still 7.2%, 1.5% above the national average. To attract new businesses, public agencies and business groups are emphasising the area's low costs and high quality of life.
A reclassification of regions by the EU saw South Tipperary taken out of the official south-east Ireland grouping in the first quarter of this year, leaving the counties of Waterford, Kilkenny, Wexford and Carlow with a population of 422,000.
The region is a tourism hotspot, boasting Ireland's sunniest weather and most iconic sites and scenery – Kilkenny is Ireland's medieval capital while oldest city Waterford was founded as a Viking trading post 11 centuries ago. The region also has the most prosperous farmland with a population spread evenly across villages, market towns and bigger conurbations.
Crystal Valley Tech's launch in November 2017 attracted 85 firms and it hopes to involve even more for its next tech showcase this November.
"We are going to schools to tell students and career guidance counsellors that they don't have to leave the area to find good quality jobs," says Fennelly. One initiative is for employers to share the CVs of job applicants, so that those who miss out on one role may be contacted by other potential employers. "And we are telling foreign investors and Irish companies that this part of the country has a fantastic quality of life," adds Fennelly.
It's the same approach taken by Brendan McDonald, regional manager for the South East at IDA Ireland, the government agency tasked with attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), who pushes the region's low cost of living and short commuting times. And it is working.
In partnership with recruitment firm Collins McNicholas, IDA Ireland produced the South East Relocation Survey 2018, which questioned 288 professionals new to the South East. They found that 95% of respondents said their work-life balance had improved; 76% reported a rise in disposable income; 86% said their work commute was less than 40 minutes; and 75% said rental prices were lower than in their previous locations.
One firm won over by this was CipherTechs, a US cyber-security specialist which chose Kilkenny as its European headquarters in 2015. It has grown to employ 30 analysts and engineers.
McDonald says the agency is planning a new push to attract FDI by targeting high-value engineering, pharma, bio-pharma, medical technology and other technology firms. The region already has a strong pharmaceutical and medical device cluster, including global brands Opko Health, West Pharmaceuticals, Bausch & Lomb, Sanofi, MSD, Teva, and GlaxoSmithKline, with Boston Scientific, Abbott and Amneal Pharmaceuticals in nearby Tipperary. There's also a growing tech cluster including the likes of Red Hat, Unum and Bluefin Payments.
Income levels in the South East are about 4% below the national average, explains Simon Barry, chief economist of Ulster Bank, with an average of €19,500 compared with €20,300.
Jobs in the South East are slightly more dependent on agriculture and manufacturing when compared with the rest of the country, making the region vulnerable to any new trade restrictions with the UK that may be posed by Brexit.
While the UK takes 15% of all Irish exports, it buys more than 40% of food exports. Irish-owned manufacturers also have a much higher dependence on the British market than do multinational firms, which tend to have moved to Ireland to service clients around the world.
"That means it is very important to get more multinationals into the South East to reduce that dependence on the UK," says Barry.
The South East's share of jobs at foreign firms backed by IDA Ireland is lower than the region's share of the labour force, but in 2017 IDA-backed jobs in the area rose by 9.2%, the highest of any region in the country.
A possible Brexit benefit, however, could be the migration of finance roles from London. And IDA Ireland says it is trying to resist the natural tendency of such firms to move to Dublin, rather than other areas such as Kilkenny and Wexford, which have their own small clusters of financial services firms.
However, finance lecturer Dr Cormac O'Keeffe and colleagues at the Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) last year complained that the South East had not won its fair share of funding for business promotion, universities and research by bodies such as the Science Foundation of Ireland (SFI). While the SFI backs 17 research centres of excellence around the country, none are in the South East. The WIT academics estimated that less than 1% of SFI funding goes into an area home to about 9% of the population.
An SFI spokeswoman said it funded the best research projects on a competitive basis, rather than directing equal funds to each region, and noted that €4.1m had been committed to WIT through its links with three SFI research centres.
O'Keeffe said the problem was that many national programmes were based on competitive tendering, which gives an advantage to regions with more universities and industry hubs. "The IDA and Enterprise Ireland (which supports home-grown firms with more than 10 employees) have lifted their performance in the South East recently, but there is still a long-term gap that needs to be closed," he said.
Meanwhile, the South East is well positioned as transport hub, explains Fiona Deegan, head of Kilkenny's Local Enterprise Office. It is 70 minutes from Dublin airport and Belview Port provides Ireland's closest rail-and-road-accessible port to Europe. Nearby, IDA Ireland's Business Technology Park has already attracted Glanbia to build the largest milk processing plant in Europe.
Major urban renewal projects are also under way, including a €280m project for North Quays in Waterford City, while backers of a 10-acre Abbey Quarter development in Kilkenny are hoping it will become home to a new precision agriculture research centre and a higher education facility focusing on animation. The latter would build on the presence of two thriving animation firms, Cartoon Saloon and Lighthouse Studios.


This year we celebrate our 50th anniversary. It's a chance to celebrate all we've achieved together and it's an opportunity to look forward at what more must be done if we are to achieve our vision of a future everyone can see.
Since 1965 we've seen significant developments in stem cell and gene therapy research, treatments using lasers and new drugs, corneal transplantation and the advancement of surgical techniques. Science, medicine and technology are rapidly coming together to bring us closer to preventing, treating and, ultimately, reversing sight loss. The pace of change has never been so quick.
It is only through continued investment in medical research that we can take advantage of these developments and help make sight loss a thing of the past.
In order to take us forward and reflect the progress that is being made in medical research we have decided to update our overall look and logo. We wanted to better represent our belief in the importance of science and technology and the role we play as the national eye research charity in the UK.
We have also re-built our website so it embodies our new look and to make our information easier to find and understand. We constantly seek to improve the way our information is delivered and to keep people up to speed with the latest developments in eye research.
If you have any comments that can help us improve our website or would like to let us know what you think please get in touch at info@fightforsight.org.uk.

Global data tackles global crises
Matt Allmer
Data collected from satellites can help fight global health crises and support efforts to build resilient systems.
During the dark year of COVID-19, there were bright moments when individuals and communities across the world banded together to tackle the pandemic. Now, as the world looks to recover, reconnect, and rebuild, it is clear that global crises demand global solutions. At Spire Global, we believe data collected from space can help.
Data might not be the first resource that comes to mind when responding to a pandemic. It can often seem nebulous, like a bunch of ones and zeros stored in a distant, underground server. But we are seeing how that it can be a powerful resource for monitoring and mitigating health crises.
"Leveraging data to respond to challenges," the World Bank said, "should be an important pillar of a government's strategy to fight the pandemic."
Specifically, global data collected from satellites can aid dynamic risk assessments, support investigations into how infectious diseases spread, and reveal opportunities for minimizing economic fallouts.
The same weather data that helps predict rain in the afternoon may also help identify communities at risk of infectious disease.
Aircraft data helps pinpoint travel risks
From deciding when to visit the supermarket to planning how to reopen entire countries, risk assessment has become a critical part of life. One of the best ways to evaluate dangerous, complex, and evolving threats is with data.
Take air travel, for example. SATAVIA created a model, using Spire Aviation' aircraft tracking data, that evaluates transmission risk along air corridors. The model "leverages the best available data and epidemiological modeling to help governments decide which air routes can be safely reopened."
As the infection rates change, policymakers and passengers can use the model to monitor risks and generate data-backed assessments.
Weather data helps forecast disease transmission
The same weather data that helps predict rain in the afternoon may also help identify communities at risk of infectious disease. That is because environmental conditions can impact transmission. To account for these factors, epidemiologists sometimes include weather data—such as temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet index—in models that forecast how diseases spread.
"Models based on meteorological data," one study found, "have helped predict when and where human cases are most likely to occur."
Last August, the World Meteorological Organization held a symposium to study environmental variables' influence on COVID-19's spread. The organization found that "global interdisciplinary research efforts should continue to explore the interactions of COVID-19 and [climatological, meteorological and environmental] factors."
"Better understanding of whether [COVID-19] will be influenced by seasonal environmental and weather conditions," a doctor with the WMO/World Health Organization Joint Climate and Health Office said, "will help inform public health policy and management of the disease in the coming months and years."
Space infrastructure escapes the delays and breakdowns that terrestrial networks may suffer in the wake of a crisis.
Shipping data helps find a route to economic recovery
Studies show that financial downturns can deteriorate public health. So boosting economic resilience may help protect long-term wellbeing. Maritime data can help.
Multinationals and logistics organizations can leverage shipping data to adjust and optimize supply chains that have been disrupted by the pandemic and continue to see gains long after we beat the virus.
Similarly, the combination of global AIS and weather data can help the maritime industry and logistics companies reveal new efficiencies and build resiliency into operations, supporting the difficult task of restarting trade and business. Ship operators can use the data to plot efficient routes between ports, realizing essential savings.
Trusting in space infrastructure
There is another advantage to fighting catastrophes with data collected from satellites. Space infrastructure escapes the delays and breakdowns that terrestrial networks may suffer in the wake of a crisis. Satellite constellations like Spire's can continue to monitor situations if Earth-bound systems go dark, capturing vital aviation, weather, and shipping information from inhospitable or inaccessible areas.
The months ahead will bring new stories of resilience and innovation as we fight this pandemic and implement solutions for a healthier, safer future. While it is just one of many elements that make up successful efforts, global data is here to support global solutions.

Magnaura Place Istanbul The Earliest University Of Europe
It is recorded that in the year 425 of the Common Era era, by decree of the Byzantine emperor Theodosius II, a secular institution of higher learning was established in Istanbul, then known as Costantinopolis. Assembling the various branches of human inquiry under the roof of the so-called Magnaura Palace, this institution can be considered a very early type of university; indeed, in a history of universities, it appears on top of the list as being the oldest university in Europe with names such as University of Costantinopolis, or the Magnaura Palace University or, in Greek, "Pandidakterion tes Magnauras".
The name MAGNAURA is derived from the Latin phrase MAGNA AULA meaning a hall capable of containing large number of people, where official ceremonies, meetings are held. In our day, in those Italian universities dating from the Middle Ages, the graduation ceremony still takes place with the presence of "Il Magnifico Rettore" (the magnificent rector), in the prestigious AULA MAGNA in Italian the two words are placed in reverse order and pronounced as ˈaula manya]). The AULA MAGNA designed by R. Erskine in 1997 for the Frescati Campus of the Stockholm University, making an honourable contribution to modern architecture, is a stucture which offers glass transparency to the surrounding old trees, its central idea being based on the classical amphiteater; the building is open to all kinds of cultural activities worthy of the University's high standard.
Following the closure in Athens of the Plato Academy in 529, the noble task of preserving the written heritage of the classical cultures was passed on to Costantinopolis, namely our city of Istanbul. In order to transmit this past knowledge to future generations, monks in the monasteries were working hard in the "Scriptorium" ('writing-area') copying manuscripts under the watchful eye of the "Armarius" ('head monk'). In the renowned monastery of Studion, close to Yedikule district and to the Marmara sea, for example, a group of monks slept while another group without interval continued copying and multiplying ancient manuscripts (this Monastery was also known as that of "Akoimetoi", i.e. 'Non-Sleepers'). Scholars are telling us that books copied in the monasteries were generally related or limited to theological matters; whereas books of any kind, whether commissioned by the emperor or by the many urban benefactors (maecenas) were copied by the individual scribes and in workshops. It was thanks to such people curious about ancient lore that the city must have gained a paradise-like atmosphere for books.
The higher learning institute, pride of the Islamic world, Beytü'l-Hikme, established in Baghdat under al-Ma'mun (813-835), took the initiative to send envoys to Costantinopolis to obtain books specifically of Plato and Aristotle, which they planned to translate into the Arabic language. Again, such active interest in the intellectual accumulation of the past must be viewed within the context of valuing it and trying to incorporate it to new life.
The Costantinopolis University at Magnaura was restructured by the regent Bardas during the reign of emperor Michael III (842-867). Classes were offered through 31 chairs: 15 in Latin, 16 in Greek. Here, Platonism and Aristotelism were earnestly studied and discussed, and the two traditions thus constantly kept alive. The functionining of the University lasted until the 15th century; however, after the Latin invasion in 1204, it appears to have lost its secular character which it had maintained since antiquity, entering gradually under the influence of the Church. In a last ditch of effort Manuel Paleolog (1391-1425) was able to establish an institution of higher learning which gained fame for its schools of grammar and Aristotelian philosophy. Two eminent persons of culture acted as directors of this "Mouseion" covering many fields of study. One was G. Scholarios, respected Aristotelian, who became the first patriarch after the city was taken by the Turks; the other was G. Argyropoulos, more inclined to get closer to the Catholic Church in Rome. This last scholar, in fact, emigrated to Florence where he taught Aristotelian logic. No wonder, Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini, later Pope Pius II – himself a very learned individual – impressed by these " illustrissimi viri bizantini " once exclaimed: "anyone who did not possess Constantinopolitan education, could not consider himself thoroughly cultivated !"
It would be appropriate to remind the reader that at the early stages of organized higher education the 'university' as such was not identified with that term. The use of "universitas", came about first in Bologna where it was written down in the statute of the "Universitas Studiorum Bolognensis", established in 1088 (for this very reason some consider the University of Bologna as the oldest one in Europe). Furthermore, in Medieval Latin "universitas" did not carry a reference to an institution of learning of universal breadth; rather, it had a legal meaning. Infact, at Bologna groups of students belonging to various fields of study (studium) went after teachers and together with them and other officials, including the rector, formed a larger community which operated in a given place, and, developing programs, according to rules and regulations, offered diplomas and rights to obtain them; such community incorporation of all parties was called "universitas".
The great reception hall at Magnaura kept also in it treasures which marvelled ambassadors, foreign or local visitors. Bishop Liutprand of Cremona visited it in the 10th century and in his description he tells that the huge throne was sided as sentinels by two gilded lions roaring frighteningly with open mouth, and every now and then beating the ground with their tail. Suddenly the throne started rising in the air all by itself. He noticed also, nearby, man made birds singing merrily on the branches of a golden tree. Such fantastic mechanisms moving by themselves (automata) were seen in some palaces of the Islamic world too, especially those in Baghdad. It is understood from sources that during the reign of the emperor Theophilos (813-842), a lover of magnificence, gifts were exchanged between Byzantium and Baghdad. Could it ever be that this precious tree with birds of artifice singing on its branches was a gift from Baghdad?
The poet William B. Yeats in his poem first published in 1928, entitled "Sailing to Byzantium" remembers this marvellous tree with birds of artifice singing past, present and future on its branches. O poets, local or outsider, who left a bit of their soul in the magic city of Istanbul, you should know that, with a few of your verses read, this city is being rediscovered !

The History of Sexuality, Vol. 2: The Use of Pleasure by Michel Foucault
In this sequel to The History of Sexuality, Volume I: An Introduction, the brilliantly original French thinker who died in 1984 gives an analysis of how the ancient Greeks perceived sexuality.
Throughout The Uses of Pleasure Foucault analyzes an irresistible array of ancient Greek texts on eroticism as he tries to answer basic questions: How in the West did sexual experience become a moral issue? And why were other appetites of the body, such as hunger, and collective concerns, such as civic duty, not subjected to the numberless rules and regulations and judgments that have defined, if not confined, sexual behavior?

Board of Deputies expresses solidarity with Altrincham and Hale Mosque after stabbing attack
The Board of Deputies has expressed its solidarity with the Altrincham and Hale Mosque in Greater Manchester after a stabbing attack against Dr Nasser Kurdy, a worshipper there.
Dr Kurdy is said to have heard Islamophobic comments during the attack and Greater Manchester Police are treating the incident as a hate crime.
Board of Deputies Public Affairs Director Phil Rosenberg, who has worked with another member of the mosque on community relations, wrote to say that Dr Kurdy "and the whole community are in our thoughts and prayers. These terrorists may wish to sow division, but they only succeed in bringing us closer together."

Prince George, B.C. – It's Move In day at the University of Northern B.C., as 536 students take their spot in the residences at the University.
Dr. Dan Ryan and two of his daughters, ready to help those moving in to the University residences- photo 250News
"The residences are full" says UNBC Provost, Dr. Dan Ryan, "That's 536 beds."
Dr. Ryan says there had to be some extra work done before students could move in, as the residences were used during the evacuation of Williams Lake. "We were home to about 70 assisted living patients from Interior Health. They were here from mid-July to about the 20th of August. So a lot of the rooms had been rearranged and set up for those patients. As soon as they moved out, Northern Health was a great help in coming in and getting things re-set up for the students. We managed to get all that done in a couple of days, and then we had to do the usual maintenance before students move in. Needless to say our facilities department did a great job. They were busy, but we got it done."
Next to graduation day, Move In day is one of the most exciting days at the University says Dr. Ryan.
He says while everyone is in a great mood today, there's always " a little bit of anxiety for parents dropping their kids off, especially the young ones who have never been away from home before, but we have some people who are here to help out, and if people have any questions, we can help out. One of the big things is, we have a lot of people here helping people move in, so I think that really reduces a lot of the stress."
In addition to having plenty of help on scene and a slate of things to do for students, there is a special session for parents "It's an opportunity for them to find out whatever they're worried about" says Dr. Ryan who says parents have a number of questions "They have concerns about the kids here, are they going to make friends, are they going to succeed, where are they going to eat, are they going to eat, how do they get downtown, what's the cost of transportation, so there's a lot of things they worry about. We have a number of people from a number of different areas of Campus who have set up tables so they can talk about that."
Enrolment at UNBC is up slightly this year over last, but final numbers won't likely be known until at least a month from now

Q: Nginx, how to reference files relatively to document location and not to uri I have the following NGINX setup:
   include /etc/nginx/mime.types;

   server
       root /build/build/;

       location ~ (?<no_slash>.+)/$ {
               return 301 $scheme://$host:8080$no_slash;
       }
       location / {
            try_files $uri $uri.html $uri/ index.html =404;
       }
   }

When I enter URL of type https://localhost:8080/foo/bar, and bar file does not exist, I  get the index.html file as expected, however as it references some other files in root folder relatively like ./baz.js NGINX searches for the file in build/build/foo/baz.js but cannot find them, giving 404.
Is there a way to make NGINX search for files relatively to index.html location instead of relatively to URI?
