How To Raise a Bilingual Child in Hong Kong
Is a dual language school right for your child? Here's the lowdown on learning a second language in Hong Kong – and which schools can set your child on the path to being bilingual.
By Carli Allan
Thursday 6 September, 2018
Do your children attend a Hong Kong school? Take our survey and help other parents.
Do you want to give your child an opportunity to learn a second language at an early age? Are you looking for a bilingual education that goes above and beyond the weekly language class taught at most international schools? Whether it's a Shì, Yes, or Oui, the answer could be a fully-immersive bilingual programme offered at just a handful of international kindergartens and pre-schools in Hong Kong.
An obvious choice for a bilingual education in Chinese/English would be to attend a local government school – or a Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) school – as these teach in the local dialect of Cantonese. International schools, however, teach in Mandarin (Putonghua), which is the most popular Chinese dialect, and offer bilingual programmes that are more focused on the needs of native English speakers. Students do not need to be native speakers of Mandarin to participate in the bilingual programmes at these schools.
Students from as young as two years can learn two languages simultaneously, including English, Mandarin and French. Schools including Chinese International School (CIS), Yew Chung International School (YCIS), Victoria Shanghai Academy, Kingston International School, Singapore International School and Independent Schools Foundation Academy (ISF) all teach an IB programme, the English National Curriculum, or Singaporean curriculum in a native and secondary language, while the French International School of Hong Kong teaches the French national curriculum in two languages.
What is a bilingual education?
Bilingual schools offer an immersion programme, also known as a dual-language programme, which uses two languages in the classroom. They teach the same curriculum as monolingual classes with the only difference being the languages used for instruction.
Bilingual programmes in Hong Kong typically start in kindergarten or Grade 1/Year 1 and run until the end of primary school and the end goal is simple – to speak, read and write fluently in two languages.
Most schools take a 50/50 approach to 'immersing' the student in the language. Students will spend at least half of their class time learning in the foreign or secondary language; some schools will spend half a day in each language, while others teach the languages on alternate days. Alternatively, there are part-immersion models where up to 75% is taught in the target language and the proportion gradually decreases to 50% by Year 5 or 6.
While some bilingual schools have two co-teachers in the classroom (a native in each language), others will have one bilingual teacher who switches between languages. The student body can vary: some schools will only accept English-speaking students and others will have a mix, which can be an advantage as the children then learn from each other.
What are the pros and cons?
The benefits of children learning two languages simultaneously are supported by research, and it's been found to stimulate the brain cells and sharpen the mind. It generally takes around five years to be proficient in a second language, so by putting your pre-schooler into a bilingual education you are giving them the best head start. Also, students are exposed to a new culture as well as a new language, which encourages them to embrace diversity.
In terms of cons, a bilingual programme can be more expensive as bilingual schools will hire additional teachers and this cost can be reflected in the tuition fee. In addition, the workload for learning two languages can be heavy and some students may struggle. Finally, parents need to invest their own time and effort into a bilingual programme and support their child with learning the second language at home; this can be challenging if you do not speak the language.
Consider these points when making your decision:
• Are you planning to stay in Hong Kong? Bilingual education works best if you pursue it for at least two or three years.
• What language courses are offered by the school once the bilingual programme ends, typically at the start of secondary?
• Are the teachers in the bilingual programme a native speaker? For an authentic immersion experience, students need to be taught by a native speaker.
• How much of the secondary language is taught in the classroom? Some programmes use both languages equally, while others may teach 25% in English, 75% in Mandarin for example.
• How are students assessed? Students can sit external exams such as the HSK Centre's Youth Chinese Test (YCT) and the ACTFL Assessment of Performance toward Proficiency in Languages (AAPPL).
• What teaching tactics are used to overcome language barriers, encourage understanding, and reduce frustration? For example, the teacher can physically act out what they are trying to teach.
• Does the school have dedicated bilingual classrooms? You should be looking for classrooms that represent both languages – word walls, books, student work etc – and have class items clearly labelled in both languages.
• Does the school library stock books and resources in the target language?

New Restaurant: Oh My Goose!
OMG! Food-court dining has definitely gone to the next level with Oh My Goose!, the brainchild of Chef Sky Lin. With almost a decade of F&B experience including at high-end Chinese gem HEXA in TST, Chef Lin did a six-month stint at Hong Kong's iconic Sham Tseng Chan Kee Roasted Goose and learned the secrets of its success such as the ideal temperature and humidity conditions for roasting.
We were treated to a roast-meat feast of epic proportions, and all we can say is OMG indeed – the flavours were exceptional and the prices incredible given the quality and heaping portion sizes. Even if you live Island side, set aside a time pre- or post-shopping/filmgoing at Langham Place for an eating frenzy here.
BBQ pork on rice ($52): combined with the tried-and-true ingredients of lean yet tender roast upper pork blade, fluffy steamed rice, leafy greens and a sunny-side-up egg drizzled with sweetish soy sauce, this was Canto comfort food at its finest.
Scrambled egg with BBQ pork and rice ($45): a play on the BBQ pork and egg dish above, Hokkaido milk seems to be the key to the creamy, dreamy consistency of the scrambled egg.
Roast goose with noodles ($58): the star of the show. We don't think we've tasted finer roast goose in Hong Kong – and at this price! The skin was crackingly crisp, the meat juicy and robust in flavour, while the al-dente glass noodles and clean yet intensely flavoured broth were worthy counterparts.
Baked BBQ pork and roast goose with 10x cheese on sizzling plate ($48): sure, it may be gimmicky, but we wolfed it down. This dish does what it says on the tin – the aforementioned BBQ pork and roast goose are piled atop a mound of sizzling rice, all blanketed with a thick coat of melted mild cheese. The addition of matsutake mushrooms was a nice touch to cut through the richness of the meat and cheese.
Yeung chow fried pasta ($52): a play on the standard yeung chow fried rice available at countless cha chaan tengs around town, we much preferred Chef Lin's use of tiny puntalette pasta instead of the traditional rice. Though the puntalette was fried in prawn oil, the taste was much less oily then the fried rice versions we've tried, soaking up more of that delicious seafood flavour.


So far, 339 species of birds have been recorded, but more species are likely to be added. The park has the Green-breasted Pitta as the most sought-after species along with others; Chubb's Cisticola, Black-capped Waxbill, Africa Shrike-flycatcher, African Black-headed Oriole, African Emerald Cuckoo, African Green-pigeon, Black-crowned Tchagra, African Wood Owl, African/Rwenzori/Abyssinian Hill-Babbler, Alpine Swift, Ashy Flycatcher, Barn Swallow, Black Bee-eater, Black Cuckoo, Black Cuckoo-shrike, Black-and-white Casqued Hornbill, Black-and-white Mannikin, Black-and-white Shrike-flycatcher, Black-billed Turaco, Black-billed Weaver, Black-faced Rufous Warbler, African Dusky Flycatcher, Black-headed Weaver, Black-necked Weaver, African Citril (Western Citril), Black-throated Apalis, Blue-shouldered Robin-chat, Blue-throated Brown Sunbird, Blue-throated Roller, African Blue Flycatcher, Bocage' Bush-shrike, Bronze Mannikin, Zebra Waxbill, Bronze Sunbird, Brown Illadopsis, Brown-capped Weaver, Brown-chested Alethe, Brown-eared Woodpecker, Brown-headed Tchagra, African-pied Wagtail, Cameroon Sombre Greenbul, Brown-throated Wattle-eye, Yellow-billed Barbet, Afep Pigeon, name it.
As the most accessible of Uganda's major rainforests, Kibale has a well-established Chimpanzee-tracking program with a high success rate. Other primates that may be found on the guided walks include Guereza Colobus, Olive Baboon, Grey-cheeked Mangabey, L'Hoest's and Red-tailed Monkeys are more likely to be found in open areas adjacent to the forest. You may find evidence of Elephants, Bush Pigs, and Buffaloes along the trails, whilst Bushbuck, Blue, Harvey's and Peter's Duikers are other shy inhabitants of the forest interior. The guided night walks are also rewarding: Potto, Bush Babies- Spectacled Demidoff's and Thomas's Galagos, Lord Derby's Anomalure, African Civet, Kibale African Golden Cat, Common Genet are all possible.
Other interesting mammals from the list of over 60 species include Ichneumon, Banded and Marsh Mongooses, Alexander's Cusimanse, Swamp Otter, Ratel (Honey Badger) and African Palm Civet. Although Golden Cat, Serval Cat, Lion, Leopard, Warthog, Giant Hog and Hippopotamus are recorded from the park, they are unlikely to be encountered in the Kanyanchu area. Sitatungas are known from Bigodi Swamp but are infrequently seen. The spectacular and beautiful Rhinoceros Viper is fairly common here but is, unfortunately, less often found alive than as a road-kill.
Community- based eco-tourism has been developed here, an array of native plants, animal's foods, medicines and plant products are found here. The canopy rings with bird calls. Tree species like wild rubber trees, polita figs, and candelabra euphorbia are common here.
Nature walks through the Bigodi swamp where a number of birds can be seen on the trail as well as conservation projects is also another activity in Kibale National Park.


Elettronica Santerno has signed a contract for the supply of a batteries and inverter system for a smart grid in Northern Italy. Santerno's cabin, composed of inverters and lithium batteries, will be integrated in a smart grid system together with renewable energy generators and charging stations for electric vehicles.
The product developed by Santerno will operate as a peak shaving and load shifting control unit. The supply, provided for the Energy Management Division of Siemens Italia, envisions a complex system for inspecting the performance of both batteries and inverters.
"Following a series of other plants recently built by Santerno in foreign countries, this interesting application is installed on the domestic market, a few kilometers from our headquarters in Castel Guelfo. The renewable energy and energy management market places Italy in a dominant position with favorable prospects for the months to follow" said Vito Nardi, CEO of Santerno.


Health • Steve and Barb Young honor Utah songwriter with music therapy space at Primary Children's.
Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune Chester Bennington sings with Stone Temple Pilots at unveiling of Sophie's Place at Primary Children's Medical Center, Friday, June 28, 2013. Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune Sophie Barton's brother Chas Barton plays guitar with 3-year-old Alice Fish at Sophie's place at Primary Children's Medical Center, Friday, June 28, 2013. Barb and Steve Young and their Forever Young Foundation paid tribute to Sophie Barton -- a local singer-songwriter who died in 2010 at the age of 17 -- by unveiling the music therapy space. Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune Sophie's mother, Anne Marie Barton, left, with Barb Young and Steve Young, at Sophie's place at Primary Children's Medical Center on Friday. Sophie's place is the first music therapy room built inside a hospital in the U.S and will include a recording studio, performance area, practice room and listening station.
Barb Young remembers how much Sophie Barton loved to sing to the young patients at Primary Children's Medical Center.
"She came to the hospital with her guitar and she would play to the children, because she always understood that music can heal," Young, wife of retired NFL star Steve Young, said Friday.
The Youngs and their Forever Young Foundation paid tribute to Barton — a local singer-songwriter who died in 2010 at the age of 17 — by unveiling Sophie's Place, a new state-of-the-art music therapy facility at the Salt Lake City hospital. And they opened the site with the musical help of Barton's siblings and some genuine rock stars: Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington and members of the band Stone Temple Pilots.
The facility, the first of its kind to be built inside hospital walls in the United States, is designed to help children suffering from chronic illness or serious injury.
Barb Young said she and her husband have been longtime friends of the Barton family, and she got the idea to build the facility about a year after Sophie's death.
"I have always had this passion for music therapy, and I just thought what a perfect combination to bring in Sophie's memory with music therapy and to create a special room where other people can use the power of music to heal the children, because that's what she did," Young said.
Bennington and Stone Temple Pilots gave a surprise performance before the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The group performed several songs in Sophie's Place, as the Young family, Barton's family and children at the hospital clapped and sang along. Sophie's siblings — Tessa, Chas and Luke — played music with some of the children before the event.
Matthew Sperry, a 5-year-old who has undergone two heart transplant surgeries at the hospital, and hospital CEO Katy Welkie cut the ribbon together.
The new facility, funded by the Forever Young Foundation, contains a recording studio, performance area, practice room and space for music therapists to provide group and individual treatment.
Steve Young said the foundation has already reached an agreement to build a Sophie's Place at Packard Children's Hospital in Palo Alto, Calif., near San Francisco, where Young played his pro career, and hopes to build more across the country. The foundation has designed a mobile Sophie's Place to travel to camps where children need therapy.
"After today, when people see what's possible, I suspect there will be a lot of interest," Young said.
Barb Young said she first became interested in music therapy 20 years ago when a friend was in a coma for over 10 months. She said many physicians at the time were hesitant to embrace the concept, but now there are music therapists in 72 hospitals nationwide. Every day, Young said, they are prescribing music therapy to children in need.
"Music therapy alleviates pain, it alleviates depression," Young said. "When you have a brain injury, the music can fire the synapses and create new neuro-pathways to help them learn to talk, to eat, to walk and to refine motor skills."
Tessa Barton, Sophie's sister, said the facility is the perfect way to honor her sister's life.
"It's obviously tragic and very sad to have Sophie gone, but she has a legacy and she's still inspiring lives and she's still around," Tessa said. "To still have her so powerfully here, it's unreal, and it makes everything that much easier. I'll be up here all the time."

Die Catopocerinae sind eine Unterfamilie der Käferfamilie Leiodidae. Sie sind in Nordamerika und im Osten Sibiriens verbreitet.

Merkmale
Die Catopocerinae umfassen sehr kleine Käfer mit einer Länge von 1,0 bis 4,5 Millimetern. Sie haben wie viele andere Arten der Familie Leiodidae keine Augen und keine Hinterflügel. Sie sind hellbraun bis durchscheinend und unbehaart. Der Kopf ist breit, der Körper dorsoventral abgeflacht und die Beine sind sehr lang. Die Sternite der ersten drei Segmente des Hinterleibs sind miteinander verwachsen. Das achte Abdominalsegment ist im Hinterleib verborgen, so dass unterseits nur fünf Sternite zu sehen sind.

Verbreitung
Die Gattungen der Unterfamilie Catopocerinae sind hauptsächlich in Nordamerika verbreitet. Hier bewohnen die fünf Arten der Gattung Catopocerus den Osten der USA bis zum Mississippi im Westen. Die wesentlich artenreichere Gattung Pinodytes ist westlich des Mississippi beheimatet und besiedelt die Westküste von Kalifornien bis Alaska. Glacicavicola bathyscioides, die einzige Art der Gattung Glacicavicola, wurde bisher nur in Eishöhlen in den amerikanischen Bundesstaaten Idaho und Wyoming gefunden. Perkovskius ist mit zwei Arten im Osten Sibiriens, im Süden der Region Primorje verbreitet.

Lebensweise
Glacicavicola lebt in Lavaröhren, die mit Eis ausgekleidet sind, beispielsweise in der Boy Scouts Cave auf dem Gebiet des Craters of the Moon National Monument. Die Lufttemperatur beträgt dort 4 °C. Wovon sich die Käfer ernähren, ist noch nicht bekannt, da es trotz der Feuchtigkeit kaum Pilzentwicklungen an den Wänden gibt.

Die anderen Gattungen der Catopocerinae bevorzugen kühles, feuchtes Klima und sind daher oft in höheren Lagen zu finden. Sie leben im feuchten Unterholz, unter Steinen oder in der Umgebung von Höhlen. Arten der Gattung Catopocerus sind auch in Höhlen zu finden, wahrscheinlich sind sie dort aber nur fakultativ anzutreffen. Die meisten Arten der Gattung Pinodytes ernähren sich im Detritus und in der Streu von unterirdischen Pilzmyzelien, einige können im Labor auf Backhefe und Erde gezüchtet werden. Viele Catopocerus-Arten werden von Aas, z. B. verwesenden Insektenlarven, angezogen.

Systematik und Taxonomie
Es ist nicht erwiesen, dass die Unterfamilie Catopocerinae monophyletisch ist. Die gemeinsamen Merkmale, wie fehlende Augen und Hinterflügel, könnten als Homoplasien unabhängig voneinander entstanden sein. Besonders die im Körperbau stark abgewandelte Höhlengattung Glacicavicola könnte auch zur Unterfamilie Leiodinae, in der es auch andere Höhlenkäfer gibt, gehören.

Gattungen
Die Unterfamilie Catopocerinae umfasst 4 Gattungen. Die Gattung Pinodytes ist 2011 von Stewart Peck wiedererrichtet worden und umfasst nun 42 Arten, die teilweise früher zur Gattung Catopocerus gezählt wurden.

Also announced as cast member were Jodhi May (Queen Calanthe), Bjorn Hlynur Haraldsson (Eist), Adam Levy (Mousesack), MyAnna Buring (Tissai), Mimi Ndiweni and Therica Wilson-Read (Novice Sorcerers), and Millie Brady (Princess Renfri). Hissrich noted the casting process was particularly intense, beginning after the hiring of a casting director back in June. Over 200 women from across Europe auditioned for the role of Ciri, but it was Allan – who initially read for another role – that was selected.
The series, which draws from the original books and less so the popular CD Projekt Red game series, is soon to enter production, aiming for a 2019 debut on Netflix.

Let's hope Browns are right when they say 'tackles are tackles' as they draft Jedrick Wills
Updated: Apr. 23, 2020, 11:12 p.m. | Published: Apr. 23, 2020, 10:08 p.m.

By Terry Pluto, cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio – Want a left tackle?
The Browns had a chance to pick Tristan Wirfs, who was my favorite to play the position. Yes, Wirfs was primarily a right tackle at Iowa, but he did start three games at left tackle. He also played left tackle in high school.
Instead, they went with Alabama's Jedrick Wills Jr., who was rated as the top overall tackle in the draft by experts such as ESPN's Mel Kiper and the Athletic's Dane Brugler. Others, including NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah, had Wills as the No. 2 tackle.
So, the 6-foot-4, 312-pounder is a gifted athlete.
Browns Chief Strategy Officer Paul DePodesta said Wills was "the top tackle on our board."
The big question is if Browns GM Andrew Berry is correct when he says "tackles are tackles." That was his press conference answer to a question I asked about right tackles in college switching to left tackle in the pros.
Traditionally, left tackle is the most demanding position because it protects the "blind side" of a right-handed quarterback. Berry's point is defenses no longer simply line up their top pass-rusher over the left tackle, as was the case for many years in the NFL.
He is convinced a good tackle can play on either the right or left side. Some former offensive tackles would disagree.
But the Browns are convinced their choice has the unique ability to make the change.
"It's the coaching he had at Alabama, his smarts and he's a mature person," said DePodesta. "He's like a pro already."
He then said Wills fits the "smart, tough, accountable" mantra the team has been preaching for months.
WHY RIGHT TACKLE?
So why didn't Wills play left tackle at Alabama? Partly because Alabama had a lefty QB in Tua Tagovailoa, so Wills was in charge of keeping his quarterback safe on the blind side. He allowed only one sack in 39 games at Alabama, according to Brugler's stats.
Like Ohio State, Alabama is like a top minor-league team for the NFL. Their players tend to be ready for the game at the highest level. Other than making the position switch, the only other negative was Wills being flagged for five false starts last season.
THE CALLAHAN INFLUENCE
I hope the Browns took the word of offensive line coach Bill Callahan on this choice. Coach Kevin Stefanski indicated Callahan was "a big part of the process."
DePodesta said if Callahan said Wills making the switch "was highly unlikely," the Alabama product would not have been at the top of their tackle draft board.
Callahan will have to be in charge of converting Wills from the right to the left side. Callahan also runs a zone blocking scheme, which requires a certain skillset. Wills seems to have that needed athleticism for what Callahan has in mind.
I prefer the pick of Wills to a trade for veteran Trent Williams, who comes with too many physical question marks and a high price tag – at least for me. I certainly like Wills over 365-pound left tackle Mekhi Becton, who had a drug test flagged at the NFL combine. The Louisville product went right after the Browns to the Jets at No. 11. Wirfs was drafted 13th by Tampa Bay.
This much is certain, the Browns are investing in their offensive line. They paid $42 million over three years for free agent Jack Conklin to take over at right tackle. They have Pro Bowler Joel Bitonio (left guard) and veteran center JC Tretter locked up on long-term deals.
The only hole is right guard, where they have options with Wyatt Teller and possibly Chris Hubbard.
In the end, the Browns needed a tackle. They drafted a tackle. They didn't try to outsmart anyone by trading down.
For that, I give them credit.

David Malda, an architecture student at the University of Virginia, has won the Landscape Architecture Foundations National Olmsted Scholarship for 2009.
The winner of the two-year-old scholarship is chosen from a pool of candidates nominated by their landscape architecture program, as someone who "exemplifies leadership in sustainable design and planning," says the LAF.
Malda, finishing dual master''s degrees in both architecture and landscape architecture, is focusing his talents on urban communities – something he hopes to continue in the future. "After school, I am interested in working on these kinds of infrastructural landscapes, both as an architect and landscape architect," he says.
In addition to $25,000 toward his education, Malda also garnered high praise from the University of Virginia School of Architecture faculty who believe that he "exemplifies the best of our dual-design students," in his nomination letter.
The Olmsted scholarship aims to increase the profile of the profession, and excite those architectural students pursuing a career in landscape architecture as well. Information on how to become a candidate is available on the LAF website.

At the Digiday Publishing Summit Europe event last month in Monaco, we sat down with over 80 European publishing executives to learn more about publishers' reliance on programmatic advertising for their digital revenues. Check out our earlier research on brands bringing media buying in-house here. Learn more about our upcoming events here.
Eighty-three percent of publishers in Digiday's survey from the event saw an increase in programmatic ad revenue in 2017.
Only 20 percent of publishers got more than 50 percent of their digital revenues from programmatic.
Europe lags behind the U.S. when it comes to programmatic advertising. Whereas 78 percent of display spending in the U.S. was transacted programmatically in 2017, a 2017 report from the Interactive Advertising Bureau Europe found that just over 50 percent of display spending in Europe was transacted programmatically. However, Digiday research found that European publishers are increasingly adopting programmatic.

Q: PHP: mount USB device I am writing a PHP script for the GUI of a Cent OS server.  For testing purposes I have set up the Apache as localhost.  Cent OS does not automount a connected USB device.  In PHP I need to check if a USB device is plugged in then mount it and list the file content for the user.  This is quite simple in bash, however I am unable to make it work in PHP.  I have played around with both the exec() and the shell_exec() functions with no avail.  I have tried the commands both manually i.e.:
shell_exec("sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt");

and through a bash script:
exec("./mountlist.sh");

Is there a function in PHP I can call that will do the same thing, or am I missing something with the exec and shell_exec functions.  Both functions work fine in the shell.  Since mount is a root command I included sudo in the bash script.

A: You can't sudo from inside a PHP script - there is no way to type in the sudo password.
You could create a shell script and use the STICKY bit to have it run as the root user
http://www.dba-oracle.com/linux/sticky_bit.htm
That's how the passwd command can write to the password file owned by root even though you are running it as a normal user.
Also - you could grant the web user permission to mount/unmount file systems (add him to the fuse group on most systems), but that's more open-ended and rather dangerous if your web server gets hacked, so I would go with shell scripts and sticky bits for your purposes.

Q: Android Comparing points Currently I'm making an app for android and I have stumbled upon a problem - I have 12 points (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, Q, N, L, M and K). I need to do some stuff with 6 highest points.
To do the calculations I wrote this code:
List<Integer> YPoint = new java.util.ArrayList(Arrays.asList(A.y, B.y, C.y, D.y, E.y, F.y, G.y, K.y, Q.y, L.y, M.y, N.y));
List<Integer> YUpper = new java.util.ArrayList(Arrays.asList());

int Classified = 0;
int Highest = 0;

while(Classified != 6){
    Highest = Collections.min(YPoint);
    YPoint.remove(Integer.valueOf(Highest));
    YUpper.add(Integer.valueOf(Highest));
    Classified++;
}

android.graphics.Point Highest1 = new android.graphics.Point();
android.graphics.Point Highest2 = new android.graphics.Point();
android.graphics.Point Highest3 = new android.graphics.Point();
android.graphics.Point Highest4 = new android.graphics.Point();
android.graphics.Point Highest5 = new android.graphics.Point();
android.graphics.Point Highest6 = new android.graphics.Point();

YPoint.remove(Integer.valueOf(Highest5.y));
YPoint.remove(Integer.valueOf(Highest6.y));

Simply put, my code follows this algorithm:

*

*Make a list of 12 points Y coordinates

*Get 6 int's from the list with min Y coordinates(corresponds to highest)

*Find points that correspond to those 6 ints from 2

*Make new 6 points and set their coordinates to points from 3 - I duplicate points so I can use them in further calculations.

This code above works, but it's huge and messy. Is there any good and clean alternative for this? Thanks in advance.

A: I cannot provide code right now, but the algorithm you need would be something like:

*

*Put your 12 points into a SortedSet (other classes can be useful as well) with a Comparator to sort them with the lowest y first.

*Pop the 6 first in the SortedSet and store them into your list.

Check out the docs for the APIs, they are really simple.


New to cyclocross racing? Suffer from bad pre-race nerves? Too cool for the rules?
Paradise Garage Racing put together this entertaining (and informative) video about how to pin your cyclocross number. Take a look and see if you can pick up any tips.
Place the number midway down your back, halfway down the side of your jersey. Make sure it's right-side up!
Now go out there and be the officials' favorite racer!
so for those that dont give a little stretch to the jersey when pinning, sorry you just ripped holes in it after you put it on and hunched over your bars.

Q: How to add Api_KEY into interceptor using okhttp I have this service where I want to put the token as an interception in the okhttp instead of passing as a parameter with @Header("MY_API_KEY")
This is my code regarding the service
/**
     * Provides the [PHService]
     */
    fun provideService(): PHService {

        val logger = HttpLoggingInterceptor()
        logger.level = HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BASIC

        val client = OkHttpClient.Builder()
                .addInterceptor(logger)
                .build()

        return Retrofit.Builder()
                .baseUrl(BuildConfig.API_URL)
                .client(client)
                .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                .build()
                .create(PHService::class.java)
    }

How can I add an interceptor for header authorization in here?

A: In case you wish to add an api_key and an app_id in your requests as a query parameter using retrofit and OkHttp interceptors in kotlin. You can follow the following steps. This is useful so you dont have to pass the keys in every request in each query:
const val E_BASE_URL = "https://api.example.com"
const val API_ID = "YourApiID"
const val API_KEY = "YourApiKey"

//Here you add your url interceptor
//"app_id" and "app_key" might be different, depending on your API
val api_interceptor = Interceptor {
        val originalRequest = it.request()
        val newHttpUrl = originalRequest.url.newBuilder()
            .addQueryParameter("app_id", API_ID)
            .addQueryParameter("app_key", API_KEY)
            .build()
        val newRequest = originalRequest.newBuilder()
            .url(newHttpUrl)
            .build()
        it.proceed(newRequest)
    }

//Add the logger interceptor optional:
val logger = HttpLoggingInterceptor().apply { setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BASIC) }

//Build your OkHttpClient - here you add the api_interceptor and logger
val clientHTTP = OkHttpClient().newBuilder()
    .addNetworkInterceptor(logger)  //optional
    .addNetworkInterceptor(api_interceptor)
    .build()

//Build your json converter - in this example MOSHI
val moshi = Moshi.Builder()
    .add(KotlinJsonAdapterFactory())
    .build()

//FINALLY build your retrofit
val retrofitE = Retrofit.Builder()
    .client(clientHTTP)
    .baseUrl(E_BASE_URL)
    .addConverterFactory(MoshiConverterFactory.create(moshi))
    .build()

//You can now declare your interfaces with your REST methods as usual, for example GET which will return your object
interface RecipesService {
    @GET("search")
    suspend fun getRecipes(
        @Query("q") recipe: String,
    ): RecipeResponse
}

//Finally you create your object (Singleton in Java) which generates your service via lazy delegate
object RecipesAPI {
    val retrofitService: RecipesService by lazy {
        retrofitE.create(RecipesService::class.java)
    }
}

For this example, you need to import following dependencies in the latest version:
com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit
com.squareup.moshi:moshi-kotlin
com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-moshi
com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor

A: add like this
HttpLoggingInterceptor logging = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
    logging.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);

    OkHttpClient.Builder httpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
    httpClient.addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
        @Override
        public Response intercept(Interceptor.Chain chain) throws IOException {
            Request original = chain.request();

            // Request customization: add request headers
            Request.Builder requestBuilder = original.newBuilder()
                    .header("Authorization", "MY_API_KEY"); // <-- this is the important line

            Request request = requestBuilder.build();
            return chain.proceed(request);
        }
    });

    httpClient.connectTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    httpClient.readTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    httpClient.addNetworkInterceptor(logging);

 OkHttpClient client = httpClient.build();

in kotlin its like
 val logging = HttpLoggingInterceptor()
    logging.level = HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY

    val httpClient = OkHttpClient.Builder()
    httpClient.addInterceptor { chain ->
        val original = chain.request()

        // Request customization: add request headers
        val requestBuilder = original.newBuilder()
                .header("Authorization", "MY_API_KEY") // <-- this is the important line

        val request = requestBuilder.build()
        chain.proceed(request)
    }

    httpClient.connectTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
    httpClient.readTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)

    httpClient.addNetworkInterceptor(logging)

 val okHttpClient=httpClient.build()


1. What kinds of discrimination are against state law in Connecticut?
.Connecticut law differs from the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). Connecticut state law protects workers under 40, whereas the ADEA only covers workers over 40. Connecticut law also provides broader protection for disabled employees than the similar federal statute, the Americans with Disabilities Act, because it does not require that the employee have a substantial limitation of a major life activity. Instead, it defines a disability as a chronic impairment.
2. How do I file a discrimination claim in Connecticut?
The Connecticut anti-discrimination statute covers some smaller employers not covered by federal law. Therefore, if your workplace has between 3 and 14 employees, you will be covered only under state law, and should file with the CHRO. If your workplace has 15 or more employees, you will be able to initiate a claim under both federal and state law by filing with the CHRO.
5. How can I or my attorney pursue a claim in court in Connecticut?
These deadlines are called the "statute of limitations". If you have received one of these agency letters, do not delay consulting with an attorney. If your lawsuit is not filed by the deadline, then you may lose your ability to pursue a discrimination case.

CANNEY WELCOMES ENTERPRISE IRELAND JOBS BOOST FOR COUNTY GALWAY
Latest figures have shown that Enterprise Ireland supported companies in County Galway created 159 new jobs in 2019 leading to an increase of 1,534 over the last three years.
Galway East TD and Minister for Rural Affairs Seán Canney said: "These figures from the Government agency are a great achievement, particularly in the face of the uncertainty caused by Brexit.
"Enterprise Ireland supported companies now employ a total of 221,895 people nationally and I am delighted to see that 65% of those jobs are outside Dublin.
"The figure is a record in Enterprise Ireland's 20-year history. Two thirds of the new jobs created in 2019 were outside Dublin and I want to congratulate the agency for its role in stimulating growth in the regions.
"As chair of the Atlantic Economic Corridor Taskforce which promotes jobs in nine counties from Kerry to Donegal, I am also delighted to see that 880 new jobs were created in Enterprise Ireland supported companies in the region in 2019.
"Successful regions are vital to the country's economy and we will continue to prioritise regional enterprise in 2020.
"The companies supported make an additional valuable contribution to local economies because they source an average of two thirds of their materials and services from other Irish firms.
"The figures show we have demonstrated great resilience and made huge progress but even so growth is slowing reflecting the Brexit effect. As a consequence, we need to redouble our efforts to evolve and remain competitive.
"Enterprise Ireland and the Government's Future Jobs Ireland strategy to promote growth will play a key role in achieving new jobs going forward.
"The strategy prepares businesses and workers for the future by looking at areas like skills and talent, small and medium enterprise productivity, labour force participation, technological change and the transition to a lower carbon economy."
In terms of news jobs supported by Enterprise Ireland in 2019, Cleantech businesses grew nine percent, Lifesciences jobs by six percent, Fintech by six percent, Electronics by five percent and Information and Computer Technologies and international services by four percent.
Growth of one percent in the food sector underlined the uncertainty created by Brexit.
Overall jobs growth translated into a net increase nationally of 4,706 jobs in 2019.

Grabowo (niem. Grabowen, 1938–1945 Grabenhof) – wieś w Polsce położona w województwie warmińsko-mazurskim, w powiecie mrągowskim, w gminie Mrągowo.

W latach 1954–1961 wieś należała i była siedzibą władz gromady Grabowo, po jej zniesieniu w gromadzie Mrągowo. W latach 1975–1998 miejscowość należała administracyjnie do województwa olsztyńskiego.

Historia
Wieś powstała w 1554 r., kiedy to starosta w Rynie Georg von Diebesa, za zezwoleniem władzy książęcej, sprzedał Bartoszowi Skońcowi 6 łanów sołeckich za 162 grzywien, celem założenia wsi czynszowej na 50 lub 60 łanach na prawie magdeburskim, w Lesie Marcinkowalski przy strumyku "Przirizky" czyli Przyrzecze, między Dłużcem a Krzywem.

Włóki soleckie, wolne od czynszu, przypadły pięciu braciom: Jędrzejowi (Endre), Mikołajowi, Wojciechowi i Grzegorzowi. Braciom wolno było łowić ryby w jeziorze Kujno i we wspomnianym strumyku, lecz tylko na potrzeby własne.

W 1617 r. wymieniany jest w Grabowie 40 łanowy majątek szlachecki na prawie chełmińskim - z obowiązkiem utrzymania jednego konia, który byłby odpowiedni dla zaprzęgu armatniego, należący do Jana Stanisławskiego podstarosty lidzbarskiego.Później majątek ten przeszedł we wladanie rodu Koenigsecków, którzy w księstwie pruskim sprawowali najwyższe urzędy (m.in. Bernard von Koenigseck był w latach 1641–1653 nadradcą książęcym i zarządcą zamku królewieckiego).
W wieku XVIII w., na skutek różnych klęsk, aż 32 łany były puste. W 1739 r. zbudowano szkołę, do której uczęszczało 48 dzieci, w tym 18 z Borowego. W 1785 r. było we wsi 37 domów, w 1815 50 domów i 275 mieszkańców. W 1818 r. nauczał w niej po polsku Jakub Miałki. W 1838 r. z pożaru ocalało 35 budynków mieszkalnych, we wsi zamieszkiwały wówczas 363 osoby. W 1848 r. było już 55 domów z 310 mieszkańcami.

Po reformie uwłaszczeniowej i tzw. separacji gruntów, powstało wiele nowych gospodarstw chłopskich poza wsią na wybudowaniach. Powstał też niewielki majątek (162 ha), należący do Carla Materna, który prowadził folwark specjalizujący się w hodowli bydła i koni. W majątku tym około 1900 r. funkcjonowała cegielnia. W 1907 r. już nie wspomina się o cegielni w Grabowie.

W 1928 r. Grabowo traktowane było jako wieś, wybudowanie i majątek, liczące łącznie 603 mieszkańców. W latach 1925-28 zbudowano szosę Grabowo-Borowe-Rybno, zaś w latach 1934-37 była w budowie inna na trasie Grabowo - Jędrychowo – Sorkwity. W 1938 r. ówczesne władze niemieckie, w ramach akcji germanizacyjnej, zmieniły urzędowa nazwę wsi z Grabowen na Grabenhof. W 1939 r. we wsi mieszkało 515 osób i było tu 118 gospodarstw domowych, w tej liczbie 75 gospodarstw rolniczych, z których 9 miało wielkość w granicach 10-20 ha, 19 w granicach 20-100 ha i jeden majątek (traktowany jako gospodarstwo rolnicze wielkości "ponad 100 ha").

W 1973 r. do sołectwa Grabowo należały także przysiółki: Dobroszewo i Głazowo.

Памфобетус () — вид пауков-птицеедов. Род обитает в центральных областях Южной Америки: Перу, Эквадор, Боливия, Колумбия, Бразилия. В природе большую часть дня эти пауки скрываются в пустотах под камнями, корнями деревьев, или в норах, а с наступлением сумерек выходят на охоту. Это очень крупные, мощные и массивные пауки, преобладающий окрас от бархатно-коричневого до чёрного. Самцы этого рода имеют более красочную и насыщенную окраску и могут сочетать в себе, кроме основных черно-коричневых цветов, оттенки от ярко-розового до синего и фиолетового.

Взрослые особи рода способны достигать 8—10 см в теле и 20—25 в размахе лап. Половозрелость у самки наступает в возрасте 4—5 лет, у самцов — 2—3 года. Количество яиц в коконе — 50—150. Условия содержания для всех памфобетусов схожи: высокая влажность 70 %-80 %, так как в природе живут на подтопляемых территориях. Температура в пределах 22-28°С. Террариум должен быть горизонтального типа, для взрослой особи минимум 30х30х25 см. Желательно укрытие. В целом, эти пауки отличаются большой выносливостью даже на ранних линьках.

Характер может варьироваться от спокойного до нервного и агрессивного. Молодые особи, как правило, более быстрые и пугливые. Агрессия взрослых особей проявляется в виде стойки с сильными ударами лап. Не смотря на размеры и массивность, эти пауки способны на короткие резкие рывки. Все особи рода имеют весьма жгучие стрекательные волоски и могут активно ими пользоваться. Яд этих пауков слаботоксичный, но это компенсируется огромными и мощными хелицерами, которые у взрослых особей могут достигать размеров около 3 см в развернутом виде.

Морфология
Характерная черта самцов — тонкий эмбол без сужения на его вершине, самок — узкое основание сперматеки. Размер самца — 5—7 см, а вот самка может достигать размеров 8—10 см.

Latin word stems that ended in l employed -aris to make their adjectives rather than -alis, the source of our -al1 suffix. As a result, the majority of adjectives in -ar in English have l or ul before the suffix, such as angular, circular, familiar, globular, jocular, polar, regular, similar, singular, and vulgar (see also -ule). Other English adjectives derived from Latin words ending in -aris include columnar, linear, lumbar, lunar, planar, and stellar. Some English adjectives have been formed using -ar that do not have Latin originals in -aris, often being based instead on Latin nouns in -um: curricular, granular, molecular, nuclear, scapular. See also -ary2.

Christmas lights up Hillside Ave.
by Seth Daniel • December 23, 2014 • 0 Comments
One of the more detailed Christmas light displays in the city is on Hillside Avenue where David and Kitty Adams have put out their lights – with everything from a talking Santa to old-time Gingerbread men – for the past 17 years.
When one pulls up to the home of David and Kitty Adams on Hillside Avenue, at least during this time of year, they're greeted with a six-foot-tall Santa Claus lawn ornament singing 'Deck the Halls.'
The red glow of hundreds of Christmas lights and the busy buzzing of snowmen inflatables and a Christmas Day countdown cannot be missed.
Once, the couple's nephew came over for a Christmas party and went up to the lawn Santa and began – in earnest – reading off his Christmas list.
"We knew we had found success when that happened," said David Adams this week. "When you have kids giving a Santa Christmas decoration their Christmas list, then you know you have something."
And have something they do.
About three or four people a night pull up the steep incline of Hillside Avenue to see the couple's display.
Once, a Chinese family knocked on the door and asked if they could come into the yard and take a picture with some of the décor.
Adams said it has become a tradition for he and his wife in the fall – as they start off the season with a detailed Halloween display, which includes a hearse in the front yard.
From there, they take about two weeks or so to transition to the biggie, a Christmas display.
"We've been doing this about 17 or 18 years now, since we moved in," said David. "We've had stuff given to us and my brother actually built the sleigh. There are no nails in the sleigh either, nor are there pegs. It's actually held together with candy canes. My favorite is the talking Santa. He's been her 10 or 12 years now. My mother always decorated to an extent, but we didn't have a big yard. I just took it one step further because we had a nice front area and a lot of people can see it."
Truly, many people do see the display as they drive up Rt. 1A or the Parkway.
So far, no one has really complained either.
"Maybe 10 years ago we had one woman that put a note on the Santa," said Adams. "For 17 years and one complaint; that's not too bad. Most people come up to see it and tell us that they like it."
Adams said he doesn't comment on the electric bill, but did reveal something.
"It's not too bad really," he said. "It's only three months of the year and we really enjoy it. I am a little afraid this year because my sister said the electric bills are going up and I understand the rates have gone up a bit this year. We'll see."
Occasionally, they also do an Easter display, but Adams admitted "it doesn't happen every year."
"It depends on when it falls, early or late," said Kitty.
Adams said they try to do something new every year, and try to keep up with the new technology. In fact, he said another friend on Campbell Avenue recently gave them a lot of stuff.
"He has decorated his house for a long time, but said he just couldn't do it anymore," said Adams. "So, we added to our collection and we'll keep it going."
The Adams's light up their display around 4:30 p.m. every night, and they're at 20 Hillside Ave.

To have a swimming pool on the roof, now that's pretty impressive, especially when the pool actually covers the whole roof and cantilevers over the edge of the house and site. This is the Mirage House and its rooftop infinity pool is one of the most amazing ones we've seen. The house was designed by .
This house doesn't have its pool on the roof but actually on one of the lower levels. The house, designed by , has a cantilevered pool that expand from the rock formation in which the structure is embedded. The side of the pool is actually transparent, allowing a view of the surroundings. The house was completed in 2010 and can be seen in Playa Las Lomas del Mar, Peru.
Can you even imagine what it would be like to swim in a pool that's cantilevered at a considerable height and has a glass bottom? You can actually experience that by visiting Hotel Hubertus, a resort located in the South Tyrol region of Italy. It has a 25 meter long cantilevered, glass-bottomed pool that offers amazing views in all directions. The pool is the bridge between the hotel's old construction and the new structure. A project by .
Some architects found other ways to take swimming pools to new heights. , for instance, created a unique hilltop house in Mumbai. The house has a structure supported by columns and a rooftop swimming pool on stilts. This unusual design was partially chosen in response to the difficult site conditions and sloped form.
The Hemeroscopium House is a unique structure completed in 2008 by . Located in Madrid, the structure forms a helix. Seven elements pile up and challenge the idea of equilibrium. Complex calculations had to be made and it took the engineers a total of seven years to develop the design and only seven days to build it. Everything was prefabricated, including the cantilevered pool that expands from the building to take in the views.
Located in Vale do Lobo, in Southern Portugal this residence has a cantilevered infinity pool that offers panoramic views of the nearby golf course. This was a project by . The pool is suspended above the courtyard and it cascades down into a lower reflecting pool which in turn is connected to the indoor pool situated below, inside the spa area. The house thus has three pools in total, all connected.
In Marbella, Spain, there's a home known as the Jellyfish House. It was designed by and it has an amazing rooftop pool cantilevered 9 meters toward the mountain range, offering extraordinary views thanks to its infinity edge pool. Even more interesting is the fact that the pool has a glass bottom floor that lets the light filter through the water and down to the levels below.
Hotel Indigo is a landmark for its Hong Kong surroundings and there's a good reason for that: its pool situated at the top of the building, cantilevered and floating in mid air. The pool has a glass bottom which pretty much lets any passers-by see its contents but, gives how high it sits, this also lets those swimming in it to have un-unparalleled view of what's underneath them, giving them a pretty unique experience. The design was done by .
In 2012 came across a pretty interesting project. They were commissioned to build a house that would be the third construction on a plot that already had two neighboring homes. The clients wanted the three homes to allow them to live together with their kids. They had a request: a garden courtyard with a pond and koi fish. That meant the swimming pool had to be relocated and the architects found a cool solution: to put it up on the roof and this way to also offer views over the surroundings.
The contemporary residence designed by in Alicante, Spain is a special type of home. It was called La Perla Del Mediterraneo, a name that showcases its uniqueness and sophisticated nature. The location is amazing and that had to be reflected in the design of the house which had to capture the panoramic views of the bay and the sea. This was done by creating large terraces and suspending the infinity edge pool over the cliff. The Jacuzzi tub on the upper level i=offers great views as well.
Villa Amanzi is another one of those structures that take advantage of the wonderful location and extraordinary views by having the pool on one of the upper levels instead of the usual placement. It's what did in order to do the site justice. They focused a lot of highlighting the two most important elements: the rock formations and the view that dominate every space and every angle. The pool is, as a result, cantilevered over a one of the interior spaces that serves as a massage room.

"Jack in The Box" (1980)
"Jack in the Box" is a song that is often identified as belonging to a recording session that U2 had worked on in April 1978. We believe this to be incorrect for a number of reasons, the most prominent because the song did not make its live debut until February 1980, and we know that U2 used studio time at that time to work on the song. The title for the song we believe is actually "Jack In A Box".
The song title appeared again in 2017 when Dan Hegarty of RTE shared a photo of Ian Wilson holding up a box of studio recordings from the Fanning Show. The songs recorded are "A Day Without Me," "Jack In A Box," "Shadows and Tall Trees," and "Trevor" – placing the recording of these songs in early 1980.
To our knowledge the session with Fanning never aired.
We have taken an in depth look at U2's pre-Island Records demo sessions in two parts. Part One dealt with 1978 – February 1979. Part Two dealt with the latter part of 1979 until early 1980. "Jack in A Box" is discussed in Part Two.

Technical information about our website's accessibility
The University of Derby is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is not compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-accessible content
The Content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
Some images don't display alt-text for images. This doesn't meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1. We will work with SAGE to add alt-text to all images within the platform by September 2020. When we publish new content, we'll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.
Some text displayed on tabs and banners aren't clear. This doesn't meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.3. We are looking at addressing this issue by using a stronger background colour that allows text to be read more clearly.
Some duplicate ID attribute values may break the accessibility of labels for focusable elements such as forms or table header cells. This doesn't meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.1. We are looking at a solution to the issue.
Some links do not have discernible text. This doesn't meet WCAG 2.1 success criteria 2.4.4. or 4.1.2. We are looking at a solution to the issue.
Some ARIA attributes may be unrecognised, causing elements of the platform not to work properly. This doesn't meet WCAG 2.1 success criteria 4.1.1. and 4.1.2. We are looking at a solution to the issue.
Some form elements within the site currently lack labels. This doesn't meet WCAG 2.1 success criteria 1.3.1. or 3.3.2. We are looking at a solution to this issue.
Some ARIA elements lack specific elements making accessibility features harder to use. This doesn't meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.1. We are looking at a solution to this issue.
Some lists aren't structured properly, making it hard for users with screen readers to know what they are listening to. This doesn't meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.1. We are looking at a solution to this issue.
Some HTML documents don't display a clear title or display proper attributes. These don't meet WCAG 2.1 success criteria 2.4.4. or 3.1.1. respectively. We are looking at a solution to the issue.
Disproportionate burden
At present, there is nothing we have found that could be considered a 'disproportionate burden'.
Content that's not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents
Many of our older PDFs and Word documents don't meet accessibility standards. For example, they may not be structured so they're accessible to a screen reader. This doesn't meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role value). The accessibility regulations don't require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they're not essential for active administration purposes relating to tasks we perform as a Public Body.
However, some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as Word documents. By September 2020, we plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.
In the meantime, you can always contact us to request a copy that is accessible for you at library@derby.ac.uk and we will do our best to make this available without delay.
Additional accessibility considerations
At present, we're not aware of additional accessibility considerations for this platform but we will monitor and update this to reflect any changes.
This website was last tested on 20/01/2020. The test was carried out on a sample of four pages by the University of Derby Libraries. We used the Accessibility Insights for Web add-on, testing in Google Chrome.

Isabel Andreu de Aguilar (née Isabel Andreu y Blanco; 15 November 1887 in Fajardo – 7 April 1948) was a Puerto Rican writer, educator, philanthropist, suffragist and activist for the rights of women. She participated in the founding of the Puerto Rican Feminist League and was a co-founder of the Association of Women Graduates of the University of Puerto Rico. She was the second president of the Puerto Rican Association of Women Suffragists and was one of the first women to run for a Senatorial seat once they achieved enfranchisement.

Early years and education
Isabel Andreu y Blanco was born on 15 November 1887, in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, to  Cristóbal Andreu Comendador and Blanca Irene Blanco Guzmán. She was born during the period in which the island was an administrative district of Spain and her father, originally from Majorca, would become the mayor of Fajardo. Her mother was a native Puerto Rican. After attending elementary school, she won a scholarship to attend Normal School in 1902, graduating in 1907 as one of the first class of alumni of the Escuela Normal of the University of Puerto Rico.

Career
Andreu began work as a teacher in the model school affiliated with the university, but soon returned home to Fajardo where she continued teaching. In 1917, when the Carnegie Library was created, she was appointed to serve on the board of directors. That same year, she became the vice president of the Puerto Rican Feminist League (), which was founded by Ana Roqué (1853-1933). The League was active in trying to gain women the right to vote and when their local senator, Antonio Rafael Barceló, refused to discuss the matter, Andreu, María L. de Ashford and Milagros Benet de Mewton went to plead their case in Washington, D.C. In 1921, the organization changed its name to the Suffragist Social League () and expanded its platform women's suffrage to full civic and political participation. In 1924, Andreu, along with Rosario Bellber, Maria Cadilla de Martínez, Luisa Callejo, Beatriz Lasalle, Ana López de Vélez, Roqué, and Amina Tió de Malaret all resigned from the League over ideological differences. The following year Roqué and Andreu formed the Puerto Rican Association of Women Suffragists (). The crux of the ideological split was whether extending the vote to women should include universal suffrage or whether it should be restricted to educated women. Andreu and Roqué were in the camp which favored education as a prerequisite to voting. That same year, 1925, Andreu was appointed to serve on the Board of Trustees of the University of Puerto Rico.

In 1929, Andreu was selected as president of the Association of Women Suffragists and the women were successful in attaining the vote for literate women. In 1932, Andreu ran as a Senator for the Liberal Party, the first woman ever to run. After losing the election, Andreu returned to school and completed a Bachelor of Education at the University of Puerto Rico in 1935. Later that year, she studied sociology at Columbia University, and later graduated with a Master in Arts specializing in adult education. In 1936, Andreu and other professional women founded the Association of Women Graduates of the University of Puerto Rico with the goals of improving the professional, academic and cultural development of its members and the university. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, she continued her trusteeships with the Library and University, as well as public speaking engagements and writing on topics ranging from education to women's rights to adult literacy. Andreu died on 7 April 1948 and posthumously, a building at the University of Puerto Rico was bestowed with her name, as well as a street in San Juan.

Asociația Sportivă TEROM Iași a fost o echipă de handbal feminin din Iași, România, care a activat ca secție sportivă a combinatului de fibre sintetice TEROM. Ea și-a disputat meciurile de pe teren propriu în Sala Sporturilor din localitate, iar antrenamentele pe terenul TEROM de pe Șoseaua Țuțora nr. 27. Echipa a fost înființată în anul 1978 și l-a avut printre președinți și pe fostul scrimer internațional Dan Irimiciuc.

Culorile echipamentului echipei erau galben - albastru - roșu.

Istoric
Secția de handbal feminin a combinatului TEROM a fost înființată în 1978, iar echipa a promovat în Divizia A, așa cum era numit la acea vreme campionatul național, în iunie 1979.

În 1981, TEROM s-a clasat pe locul al doilea, iar în 1985 a câștigat Cupa României. Echipa a continuat și în anii următori să se claseze pe unul din primele patru locuri în competiție, ultima poziție semnificativă fiind locul al treilea în ediția 1989-1990. În campionatul național, TEROM a oscilat în general la jumătatea superioară a clasamentului.

La nivel european, TEROM Iași a participat la câteva ediții ale Cupei Cupelor IHF. În sezonul 1981-1982, echipa a ajuns până în optimi, în sezonul 1985-1986 în sferturi, iar în sezonul 1989-1990 până în semifinalele competiției. Odată cu declinul economic însă, combinatul de fibre sintetice nu a mai putut susține financiar echipa.

Au existat încercări de continuare sub o formă sau alta a activității echipei TEROM. În 1992, omul de afaceri Adrian Pascal, patron al firmei "Aura", scurtă vreme și președinte al Federației Române de Handbal, a preluat colectivul sportiv, iar echipa a continuat să evolueze în campionat sub denumirea HC Aura Iași. În iunie 1993, la finalul ediției 1992-1993 a campionatului național de handbal, Aura Iași a terminat pe locul al treilea în clasament. În sezonul 1993-1994, echipa a ajuns până în sferturile Cupei EHF Feminin.

În iulie 2002, Pascal și-a anunțat intenția de transformare a HC Aura Iași într-o "veritabilă selecționată multinațională de handbal feminin" cu un buget de trei milioane de dolari. Privită încă de la început cu scepticism de diverși antrenori de handbal locali, inițiativa nu s-a materializat. De altfel, presa a publicat încă de la începutul anilor 1990 informații despre unele din afacerile controversate ale lui Adrian Pascal. Inițial miliardar, el nu a mai reușit să susțină echipa și a ajuns la începutul anilor 2010 "într-o situație mizeră, după ce a eșuat în afaceri".

Pe 15 septembrie 2004, Florin Zamfir, un fost jucător și antrenor de handbal, devenit ulterior un controversat om de afaceri local, a reușit să obțină palmaresul, numele TEROM și "trecutul echipei de handbal, cu rezultatele oficiale". Zamfir era patronul unei echipe de handbal feminin înființate în 2003 și denumită "Z" Iași, și a primit de la Federația Română de Handbal permisiunea de a îi schimba numele în Terom Z. În 2005, Zamfir a încercat să vândă echipa primăriei Iași, dar a fost refuzat. În aceeași perioadă, deoarece George Becali se ocupa de achiziționarea companiei Avicola Iași, Zamfir i-a propus și lui să cumpere Terom Z, dar a fost refuzat, astfel că echipa s-a desființat, lăsând în urmă și datorii financiare.

În septembrie 2007, Casa de Insolvență Moldova SPRL Iași, în calitate de lichidator al combinatului S.C TEROM S.A. Iași, a pus în vânzare "prin licitație publică cu strigare în bloc a Activului funcțional Platformă industrială S.C TEROM S.A", printre care și terenul de antrenament al echipei.

Florin Zamfir a reînființat echipa Terom Z Iași în 2011 și a înscris-o în Divizia A. În vara anului 2011, presa a anunțat transferul interului dreapta Carmen Amariei, care a decis să părăsească Viborg HK pentru a juca la Terom. Pe lângă Amariei, din echipă mai făceau parte Roxana Joldeș, Bianca Anghelescu, Georgeta Grigore sau Marina Stancu, antrenor fiind Victorina Bora. În februarie 2012 a fost anunțat și "transferul bombă" al Cristinei Vărzaru, care urma să părăsească și ea Viborg HK și să debuteze la Terom în vara anului 2012. Florin Zamfir și-a anunțat și intenția de a construi o sală de sport cu capacitatea de 8000 de locuri, în care echipa sa ar fi urmat să joace în Liga Campionilor în cel mult patru ani.

Însă problemele economice au continuat. Florin Zamfir a acuzat municipalitatea că nu îi sprijină proiectul, iar în primăvara anului 2012 a mutat echipa la Turnu Severin. Deși Terom Z a promovat în Liga Națională în mai 2015, Carmen Amariei a plecat la SCM Craiova, Cristina Vărzaru a renunțat la transferul preconizat, iar autoritățile locale din Turnu Severin "nu și-au respectat obligațiile față de clubul ieșean", potrivit acuzațiilor lui Zamfir, care a dat municipalitatea mehedințeană în judecată. De altfel, omul de afaceri a acuzat-o și pe Amariei de înșelăciune, amenințând cu un proces împotriva handbalistei.

În consecință, Florin Zamfir a anunțat că ar putea aduce echipa înapoi la Iași și a solicitat sprijin financiar primarului Gheorghe Nichita, respectiv președintelui Consiliului Județean Iași, Cristian Adomniței. Printr-o declarație pentru "Ziarul de Iași", primarul Nichita a refuzat: "Terom Z? Ce este Terom Z? Eu nu fac afaceri cu oameni de genul celor de acolo. A spus că dă echipa gratuit Primăriei? Și cu câte miliarde datorie? De ce nu a rămas la Severin, acolo unde s-a mutat?" În final, în iulie 2012, motivând lipsa banilor, Zamfir a depus cererea de retragere din campionat a echipei Terom Z Iași, urmată de "cererea de desființare a clubului". Un an mai târziu, Zamfir a dat-o în judecată și pe fosta antrenoare, Victorina Bora, acuzând-o de "înșelăciune, gestiune frauduloasă cu consecințe deosebit de grave" și "instigarea echipei împotriva clubului".
