Chelsea Literacy Coordinator Recognized for Outstanding Teaching
November 23, 2021 /in Event, News /by Frank Mills
For the past 12 years, Karen Gallo has overseen all aspects of Chelsea School's literacy programming. In that time, she and her reading specialists have helped hundreds of dyslexic students to become independent, lifelong readers. This fall, Karen received the Altra Federal Credit Union Cash for Classrooms award after being nominated by a former student's family. This family shared how Ms. Gallo changed the course of their son's life for the better, and he is now pursuing a degree and a job that he loves.
In their nomination application, the family wrote, "Teaching reading to students with dyslexia is especially challenging, but doing so with creativity, humor, patience, & enthusiasm warrants special recognition. Chelsea School serves kids with learning differences and most have language-based learning challenges like dyslexia that frustrate them and make them feel stupid. Karen know these challenges for kids and uses evidence-based methods to help them read, and more importantly, believe that they can learn – the foundation for success in school."
"If you listen to students who have been instructed by Karen, if fills your heart with joy and hope for kids who have felt hopeless in school. Its like a new lease on life for them. Student have the confidence they need to succeed and interact with their peers with that same confidence," continued the family.
"What especially delights me about Karen is that she rejoices with each victory her students experience and the pride they gain with those victories. Karen leads a small team of reading teachers at Chelsea School with a firm grasp of all the techniques and approaches that make Chelsea students successful and go onto college. I know this because my son had her for a reading teacher and was 4-5 years below his grade level in reading. However, with Karen's help and encouragement, our son improved his reading to be on par with his peers and he is about to finish college. There simply is no way for a parent, or a student for that matter, to thank a teacher enough for such a life changing gift. And, there are countless students at Chelsea who have benefitted from Karen's instructions and who would sing her praises. She deserves our every thanks & public recognition of her amazing contributions as a reading teacher."
Chelsea School's faculty and administration, and our entire school community, echo these sentiments. Karen has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of our students by giving them the tools to be lifelong, independent readers. She is an inspiration for us all, and we are so grateful to have her as a Chelsea Knight! We love you Ms. Gallo!

  <description>

This module contains functions for converting to and from
      strings (lists of characters). They are used for implementing the
      functions in the <c>io</c> module. There is no guarantee that the
      character lists returned from some of the functions are flat,
      they can be deep lists. <c>lists:flatten/1</c> can be used for
      flattening deep lists.

  <funcs>
    <func>
      <name name="nl" arity="0"/>
      <fsummary>Write a newline</fsummary>
      <desc>

Returns a character list which represents a new line
          character.

    </func>
    <func>
      <name name="write" arity="1"/>
      <name name="write" arity="2"/>
      <fsummary>Write a term</fsummary>
      <desc>

Returns a character list which represents <c><anno>Term</anno></c>. The
          <c><anno>Depth</anno></c> (-1) argument controls the depth of the
          structures written. When the specified depth is reached,
          everything below this level is replaced by "...". For
          example:

1> <input>lists:flatten(io_lib:write({1,[2],[3],[4,5],6,7,8,9})).</input>
"{1,[2],[3],[4,5],6,7,8,9}"
2> <input>lists:flatten(io_lib:write({1,[2],[3],[4,5],6,7,8,9}, 5)).</input>
"{1,[2],[3],[...],...}"

      <name name="print" arity="1"/>
      <name name="print" arity="4"/>
      <fsummary>Pretty print a term</fsummary>
      <desc>

Also returns a list of characters which represents
          <c><anno>Term</anno></c>, but breaks representations which are longer than
          one line into many lines and indents each line sensibly. It
          also tries to detect and output lists of printable characters
          as strings. <c><anno>Column</anno></c> is the starting column (1),
          <c><anno>LineLength</anno></c> the maximum line length (80), and
          <c><anno>Depth</anno></c> (-1) the maximum print depth.

      </desc>
    </func>
    <func>
      <name name="fwrite" arity="2"/>
      <name name="format" arity="2"/>
      <fsummary>Write formatted output</fsummary>
      <desc>

Returns a character list which represents <c><anno>Data</anno></c>
          formatted in accordance with <c><anno>Format</anno></c>. See
          <seealso marker="io#fwrite/1">io:fwrite/1,2,3</seealso> for a detailed
          description of the available formatting options. A fault is
          generated if there is an error in the format string or
          argument list.

If (and only if) the Unicode translation modifier is used
	  in the format string (i.e. ~ts or ~tc), the resulting list
	  may contain characters beyond the ISO-latin-1 character
	  range (in other words, numbers larger than 255). If so, the
	  result is not an ordinary Erlang string(), but can well be
	  used in any context where Unicode data is allowed.

      </desc>
    </func>
    <func>
      <name name="fread" arity="2"/>
      <fsummary>Read formatted input</fsummary>
      <desc>

Tries to read <c><anno>String</anno></c> in accordance with the control
          sequences in <c><anno>Format</anno></c>. See
          <seealso marker="io#fread/3">io:fread/3</seealso> for a detailed
          description of the available formatting options. It is
          assumed that <c><anno>String</anno></c> contains whole lines. It returns:

        <taglist>
          <tag><c>{ok, <anno>InputList</anno>, <anno>LeftOverChars</anno>}</c></tag>
          <item>

The string was read. <c><anno>InputList</anno></c> is the list of
              successfully matched and read items, and
              <c><anno>LeftOverChars</anno></c> are the input characters not used.

          </item>
          <tag><c>{more, <anno>RestFormat</anno>, <anno>Nchars</anno>, <anno>InputStack</anno>}</c></tag>
          <item>

The string was read, but more input is needed in order
              to complete the original format string. <c><anno>RestFormat</anno></c>
              is the remaining format string, <c><anno>Nchars</anno></c> the number
              of characters scanned, and <c><anno>InputStack</anno></c> is the
              reversed list of inputs matched up to that point.

          </item>
          <tag><c>{error, <anno>What</anno>}</c></tag>
          <item>

The read operation failed and the parameter <c><anno>What</anno></c>
              gives a hint about the error.

          </item>
        </taglist>

Example:

3> <input>io_lib:fread("~f~f~f", "15.6 17.3e-6 24.5").</input>
{ok,[15.6,1.73e-5,24.5],[]}

    </func>
    <func>
      <name name="fread" arity="3"/>
      <fsummary>Re-entrant formatted reader</fsummary>
      <desc>

This is the re-entrant formatted reader. The continuation of
          the first call to the functions must be <c>[]</c>. Refer to
          Armstrong, Virding, Williams, 'Concurrent Programming in
          Erlang', Chapter 13 for a complete description of how the
          re-entrant input scheme works.

The function returns:

        <taglist>
          <tag><c>{done, <anno>Result</anno>, <anno>LeftOverChars</anno>}</c></tag>
          <item>

The input is complete. The result is one of the
              following:

            <taglist>
              <tag><c>{ok, <anno>InputList</anno>}</c></tag>
              <item>

The string was read. <c><anno>InputList</anno></c> is the list of
                  successfully matched and read items, and
                  <c><anno>LeftOverChars</anno></c> are the remaining characters.

              </item>
              <tag><c>eof</c></tag>
              <item>

End of file has been encountered.
                  <c><anno>LeftOverChars</anno></c> are the input characters not
                  used.

              </item>
              <tag><c>{error, <anno>What</anno>}</c></tag>
              <item>

An error occurred and the parameter <c><anno>What</anno></c> gives
                  a hint about the error.

              </item>
            </taglist>

Youth hold key to global future, experts tell Riyadh G20 summit
Time: 20 November 2020
'Youth will shape the global future,' Lauren Power, head delegate of the US Y20, top left, said during a roundtable entitled 'Opportunities for Youth to Create a Better Future.' (Supplied)
Minister: Authorities utilizing resources, making efforts to bring sports in KSA to required level
RIYADH: Panelists at the Riyadh G20 summit on Thursday described youth as "key stakeholders of the future" as they underlined the importance of expanding opportunities for younger generations.
"Youth will shape the global future," Lauren Power, head delegate of the US Y20, said during a roundtable titled "Opportunities for Youth to Create a Better Future."
She highlighted the importance of meaningful dialogue, knowledge sharing and the role of technology in enriching the experiences of youth.
Power also praised Saudi Arabia, saying that it has taken many initiatives to discover, develop and empower youth.
The coronavirus pandemic has caused distress across the globe, she said.
"In the US, it has hugely affected the mental health of people."
Prince Abdul Aziz bin Turki Al-Faisal, the Kingdom's sports minister, said that sporting opportunities have a big role in creating a better future for youth.
The minister said that sports development in the Kingdom needs to be accelerated, and authorities are utilizing resources and making efforts to bring it to the required level.
"Our aim is to take our youth to a level where they can engage with their international peers (of athletes) and learn from their rich experiences, so in the future they can match the excellence," he said.
Saudi Arabia's first women's football league started on Thursday with 24 teams across Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam competing for a championship cup and a $133,000 cash prize.
"It's part of our youth empowerment program," the minister said, adding that this is "one exciting step" toward new sports developments in the Kingdom.
He said that there has been a roughly 50 percent increase in number of sporting federations, while 20,000 jobs were created in sports in 2019.
Dr. Einas bint Suleiman Al-Eisa, Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University (PNU) rector, echoed the minister's comments, adding that the university is creating the right ecosystem for women's empowerment.
"Our empowerment includes the concept of global citizenship education with students and faculties, not only from the Kingdom but also various other nationalities being part of our academic program," she said.
Y20 chair Othman Almoamar said that optimism is essential to overcome the pandemic. "Y20 has come up with a joint statement on youth empowerment that will help a lot in this area," he said.
Anna Affranio, head of Italian Y20 delegation, said that mental health is key to overcome the challenges amid the pandemic.
She also highlighted the importance of technology and its key role in youth empowerment.
The session was moderated by Dr. Maha Al-Mutlaq, dean of the law college at PNU, who said that youth empowerment is "at the heart" of developments and reforms in Saudi Arabia.
"More than 30 percent of Saudi population are youth, with the crown prince, a young leader, as the youth icon," she added.

Margulies, Megan. My Captain America: A granddaughter's memoir of a legendary comic book artist. New York: Pegasus Books, 2020.
Added by: joachim (8/17/20, 4:43 PM) Last edited by: joachim (8/17/20, 4:45 PM)
Resource type: Book
Language: en: English
ID no. (ISBN etc.): 9781643134642
BibTeX citation key: Margulies2020
Keywords: Biography, Simon. Joe, Superhero, USA
Creators: Margulies
Publisher: Pegasus Books (New York) Views: 9/201
A finely wrought coming-of-age memoir about the author's relationship with her beloved grandfather Joe Simon, cartoonist and co-creator of Captain America.
In the 1990s, Megan Margulies's Upper West Side neighborhood was marked by addicts shooting up in subway stations, frequent burglaries, and the "Wild Man of 96th Street," who set fires under cars and heaved rocks through stained glass church windows. The world inside her parents' tiny one-bedroom apartment was hardly a respite, with a family of five—including some loud personalities—eventually occupying the 550-square-foot space.
Salvation arrived in the form of her spirited grandfather, Daddy Joe, whose midtown studio became a second home to Megan. There, he listened to her woes, fed her Hungry Man frozen dinners, and simply let her be. His living room may have been dominated by the drawing table, notes, and doodles that marked him as Joe Simon the cartoonist. But for Megan, he was always Daddy Joe: an escape from her increasingly hectic home, a nonjudgmental voice whose sense of humor was as dry as his farfel, and a steady presence in a world that felt off balance.
Evoking New York City both in the 1980s and '90s and during the Golden Age of comics in the 1930s and '40s, My Captain America flashes back from Megan's story to chart the life and career of Rochester-native Joe Simon, from his early days retouching publicity photos and doing spot art for magazines, to his partnership with Jack Kirby at Timely Comics (the forerunner of Marvel Comics), which resulted in the creation of beloved characters like Captain America, the Boy Commandos, and Fighting American.
My Captain America offers a tender and sharply observed account of Megan's life with Daddy Joe—and an intimate portrait of the creative genius who gave us one of the most enduring superheroes of all time.

Himalayan Adaptation, Water, and Resilience
This research project will serve to help poor and vulnerable women, men, and children learn to adapt to and manage climate change in Asia's Hindu Kush Himalayan region.
Why the Himalayan region is important
The region, stretching from central Afghanistan to northern Pakistan, is one of the world's most dynamic, diverse, and complex mountain and floodplain systems. It provides water resources and other ecosystem services to more than 210 million people in the mountains and 1.3 billion people living downstream.
How this research will support adaptation
Socio-economic changes, combined with climate change impacts, may significantly affect the livelihoods of everyone in the region. To help the people of Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Nepal adapt, this project will develop robust evidence to inform climate change adaptation policies and practices.
Researchers will focus on the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra river basins. They will compare research and pilot results analyzing adaptation interventions at a variety of sites. The research sites will represent a range of climatic and hydrological conditions and socio-economic contexts. Stakeholders will be actively involved in the process.
Expected research results
A research consortium with a reputation for excellence will lead the project, which is expected to:
-generate scientific knowledge on climate change impacts, vulnerability drivers, and adaptation policies and practices;
-promote decision-makers' use of knowledge and adaptation practices at various scales to reduce vulnerabilities and build livelihood resilience; and
-strengthen interdisciplinary expertise in climate change adaptation and resilience research.
These outcomes will allow governments to improve their adaptation policies and practices. They will also help ensure that funds can be mobilized for sustainable adaptation strategies.

Batman™: Arkham Knight brings the award-winning Arkham trilogy from Rocksteady Studios to its epic conclusion. Developed exclusively for New-Gen platforms, Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile. The highly anticipated addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the Arkham series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City. In this explosive finale, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city that he is sworn to protect, as Scarecrow returns to unite the super criminals of Gotham and destroy the Batman forever.
"Be The Batman" – Live the complete Batman experience as the Dark Knight enters the concluding chapter of Rocksteady's Arkham trilogy. Players will become The World's Greatest Detective like never before with the introduction of the Batmobile and enhancements to signature features such as FreeFlow Combat, stealth, forensics and navigation.
Introducing the Batmobile – The Batmobile is brought to life with a completely new and original design featuring a distinct visual appearance and a full range of on-board high-tech gadgetry. Designed to be fully drivable throughout the game world and capable of transformation from high speed pursuit mode to military grade battle mode, this legendary vehicle sits at the heart of the game's design and allows players to tear through the streets at incredible speeds in pursuit of Gotham City's most dangerous villains. This iconic vehicle also augments Batman's abilities in every respect, from navigation and forensics to combat and puzzle solving creating a genuine and seamless sense of the union of man and machine.
The Epic Conclusion to Rocksteady's Arkham Trilogy – Batman: Arkham Knight brings all-out war to Gotham City. The hit-and-run skirmishes of Batman: Arkham Asylum, which escalated into the devastating conspiracy against the inmates in Batman: Arkham City, culminates in the ultimate showdown for the future of Gotham. At the mercy of Scarecrow, the fate of the city hangs in the balance as he is joined by the Arkham Knight, a completely new and original character in the Batman universe, as well as a huge roster of other infamous villains including Harley Quinn, The Penguin, Two-Face and the Riddler.
Explore the entirety of Gotham City – For the first time, players have the opportunity to explore all of Gotham City in a completely open and free-roaming game world. More than five times that of Batman: Arkham City, Gotham City has been brought to life with the same level of intimate, hand-crafted attention to detail for which the Arkham games are known.

Q: Route requests of non-existent URIs via .htaccess I'm currently introduce myself to the world of WebDev and trying to create a very basic mvc framework (like most I guess lol) for learning purposes.
Now I want to redirect all requests to /bootstrap.php (which handles routing, invokes controller, init smarty etc) from within my /.htaccess file.
My router class needs requests like the following examples (changeable if needed):
https://www.stuck1a.de/home?foo=bar      // ~> /mvc/views/pages/home/index.tpl?foo=bar
https://www.stuck1a.de/home/index?x=y    // ~> /mvc/views/pages/home/index.tpl?x=y
https://www.stuck1a.de/music/byartist    // ~> /mvc/views/pages/music/byartist.tpl
...

My problem now is, that the path /home/* technically doesn't exist (SEO), so a request like the examples above lead to a 404 (of course) instead of make use of redirection rules from /.htaccess.
Well, I think creating a file /home/.htaccess which redirects requests to /bootstrap.php would solve this, but that can't be the whole point of the matter...
Because SEO-URL's are very common, I'm pretty sure, there must be an easy solution for my problem, that I just can't think of.
I hope you understand what I mean. If you need more informations or want to see sources, just let me know.
Thanks and best regards,

Discover the new all in small, sporty and stylish Kia Picanto.
The best car for hire in Paphos, Cyprus. Cheap, economy and efficient car. Ideal for short and long road trips all over Cyprus.
The most mature car for hire in its class. Great ride, running costs and style especially around Paphos, Cyprus.
The Chevrolet Spark design conveys a sense of motion from front to back, with dramatic, crisp lines, and aggressive front fascia, large elliptical-shaped headlamps, clean body sides free of cladding and a standard lip spoiler. Hidden rear door handles give the illusion of a stylish two-door vehicle but with the functionality of four-doors.
The Chevrolet Spark is powered by a four-cylinder petrol engine delivering exceptional fuel economy (5.4l / 100km) and class leading power of 60kW.
Structural enhancements, along with active and passive safety systems will ensure Spark is one of the safest vehicles in the small car segment. With driver and front passenger airbags and side impact protection bars standard, the Chevrolet Spark ensures all occupants are well protected during impact..
The Suzuki Swift is a subcompact car produced by Suzuki since 2000. Prior to this, the "Swift" nameplate had been applied to the Suzuki Cultus in numerous export markets.
The Suzuki Swift has won more than 60 Awards including car of the year awards since its introduction as a global model.
Takes up to five adults with limited luggage space.
Manual or Auto
It's a lightweight supermini with dramatic styling, a sharp drive and attractive prices and running costs.
The Mazda Demio is an excellent car. It's a mini car manufactured and marketed globally by Mazda since 1996, currently in its fourth generation. The Demio is marketed prominently as the Mazda2 and under previous nameplates includingMazda121, Mazda Metro and Ford Festiva Mini Wagon. The third generation Demio earned the 2008 World car of the Year title, while the fourth generation was awarded the 2014–2015 "Japanese Car of the Year".
The little Demio feels quick when you get up in the rev range, and Mazdas in general are always a joy to steer. Nice and tight, quick ratio, and a good amount of feedback -- there are cars at twice the price that can't say the same.
City cars that make a virtue of their small size can be fun to drive and that's certainly the case with the Picanto. This shouldn't be such a surprise as it shares its underpinnings with the Hyundai i10 but the last generation wasn't somehow quite able to match the driving dynamics and on-road character of its close relation.
That has been rectified in this new version with the wheels now pushed further out towards the corners of the car, making the new Picanto nimble around town - thanks in part to a usefully tight turning circle - and agile on the open road.
The Kia Picanto is an inexpensive city car and its interior is never going to be plush but Kia has still managed to produce something smart and functional to a budget.
Fiesta is a vivid expression of all that is inspirational in design today. If you've ever marvelled at ground-breaking architecture, been excited by haute couture or been moved by art – this car will provoke a strong sense of déjà vu.
Today's design icons have influenced every line and detail, from Fiesta's sculpted, dynamic exterior to its sophisticated interior. And the technology in the cabin is as innovative as the most advanced electronics around today.
Fiesta's stylish looks are also complemented by the smart thinking of Ford ECOnetic Technology which delivers greater fuel economy and lowers CO2 emissions without sacrificing performance.
3 Large
Just get behind the wheel and you'll understand why it's been acclaimed as one of the world's best-designed small cars. It's a car you'll feel good driving, and one that makes it easy to bring family, friends and all your stuff along.
Jazz doesn't just stand out from the crowd. This ingeniously designed small car helps drivers and passengers fit right in, and takes them on the ride of their life. Plus, Jazz has just the right combination of aerodynamic balance and refinement.
Part sprinter, part marathoner and part gymnast, the Honda Jazz is as easy to drive on the open road as it is in a car park. That's made it a very popular car, with dozens of awards worldwide. Good on Jazz – and you!
Jazz helps make for a cleaner, greener world with Euro 4 compliant emissions, advanced technology for cleaner exhausts, and heaps of recyclable parts. Plus, Jazz's aerodynamic shape, innovative engine design and light, high-tensile steel make it an incredibly efficient machine.

Kia Rio is a subcompact car that is simple yet sophisticated. On the outside, it has an all-new look that is grown-up and stylish. On the inside, the Rio is well-assembled and is relatively spacious considering its size.
Under the hood, the Rio gets a reworked version of Kia's 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. It has slightly less power compared to last year (130 horsepower versus last year's 138), but Kia says it decided to trade peak power for more usable power, meaning that the Rio feels stronger at the lower engine speeds drivers encounter most often.
The Colt's engine power and flexibility will mean that journeys, long or short, never feel like hard work. The smooth handling of Colt makes corners a pleasure, whether on urban streets or your favourite open road. Complementing the punchy engines and cornering abilities are strong brakes that you can always have confidence in.

This patient in his twenties came in asking Dr. Connors' advice on how to get a more defined, masculine jawline. Although he is in great shape he felt like, especially in photos, there was noticeable excess fat in those specific areas creating a "double chin". Dr. Connors used a laser assisted liposuction technique (SmartLipo) in order to contour those areas by removing the excess fat cells and tightening the skin under the chin.

Solution properties and composition of dextrins
Gordon G. Birch, M. Nasir Azudin, John M. Grigor
Solution properties of dextrins, such as NMR, apparent specific volume and intrinsic viscosity, are similar to those of their components, glucose maltose and higher saccharides. However, fine differences between the individual components of glucose syrups can be precisely monitored by modern solution chemistry techniques and usefully employed to elucidate their mode of interaction with water structure and to predict their behaviour in food systems. Examples are the determination of DE by high resolution NMR and "equivalent DE" (in hydrogenated glucose syrups) by combined measurement of refractometric solids and osmotic pressure, without, recourse to volumetric chemical methods. Solution measurements of glucose syrups or dextrins derived from glucose syrups are based on average molecular weight. In a DE17 glucose syrup, for example, the average apparent specific volume of the dextrin increases from 0.62-0.63 cm3/g as the concentration increases from 5-50% w/w. These figures are high compared to glucose (0.615cm3/g) and maltose (0.612cm3/g)

Kuro: Is it only on such a night that we would converse like this?
Shiro: Perhaps so. But I'd put the blame on you anyway.
Shiro: Being an annoying person who refuses to show himself in the day, that's what.
Kuro: You know me. I can't do something like that.
Shiro: And what makes you think I can do the same for night? I'm bearing with you here, you know?
Kuro: I completely sincerely apologize for that, then.
Shiro: Thanks. It's been a great year, hasn't it?
Kuro: Indeed it has. To be able to meet you at last. Though I probably could have lived perfectly fine without ever meeting you at all.
Shiro: Indeed the same for me. But encounters always brighten up the life of anyone, do they not?
Kuro: Perhaps for you it does. Someone like me is more accustomed to solitary night.
Shiro: That's no nice. Kinda like you to ruin the fun in stuff, isn't it?
Kuro: And kinda like you to ruin the golden silence and beauty of it all, isn't it.
Shiro: It really has been annoying to see your side of things, you know that? Maybe I'm staring to turn into you as well. Emo freak.
Kuro: At least I know I won't be turning into one of your kind as well, huh. For once I'm rather thankful for something like that. Though I have to think pretty hard to think of anything worth being thankful for.
Shiro: Man. Hard to believe it, huh. Despite our complete oppositeness we still seem to gel so well with each other.
Kuro: Indeed. We have to thank her.
Shiro: She gave us the ability to see beyond the horizon. See the other side.
Kuro: See the other world which we'd never thought of, never seen before.
Shiro: I wonder what my life would be if I'd never met her, never met you? Would I still eternally remain the self that I had been? Would it have been a good life? Or would I have eternally been blind, like what you called me?
Kuro: At least I know what mine would have been like. One without illusion or ideal. The coldest truth, the sharpest knife, to carve away the farce in life. Nothing to stop me from seeing what is. But perhaps the pot calls the kettle black; perhaps I was just as blinded as you had been.
Shiro: In everything, joyful as it was, if I saw deep enough, I would see you.
Kuro: In everything, despaired as it as, if I saw deep enough, I would see you. Do I see you because you exist, or do you exist because I see you? I wonder at times.
Shiro: I see you in everything. Must you exist in everything? Was there - will there - ever anything that was devoid of you; of me; of either of us? I wonder too.
Kuro: But in the end, at the conclusion of the year, I realize that where I could only see with my eyes I could now see with yours. Perhaps that is worth being thankful for.
Shiro: Of course it is. And despite the thanks, there still lays the despair of having to see things from the other end.
Kuro: Indeed. but in the end, it has been a good year, for I was able to see you.
Shiro: It has been a good year.

Atlanta Fed President Bostic Discusses Financial Inclusion with Georgia Fintech Academy
Jenifer Shockley
Robinson College of Business
jshockley@gsu.edu
ATLANTA – Raphael Bostic, president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, met with students and faculty for a conversation on financial inclusion on August 31 during a visit to Georgia State University arranged by the Georgia Fintech Academy of the University System of Georgia. The Robinson College of Business co-sponsored the event.
In addition to explaining the role of the Atlanta Fed in the economy and bank regulation, Bostic spoke about financial inclusion to an audience of more than 430 attendees, including fintech community leaders, members of the Georgia Fintech Academy, and Georgia State researchers, students, and leaders interested in fintech or financial inclusion. The Georgia Fintech Academy is a talent development initiative that teaches students about fintech and connects them with fintech employers. It was co-conceived by and is housed at Georgia State University's Robinson College of Business.
Bostic spoke passionately about the role of the Atlanta Fed and the industry in improving economic mobility and resilience. He identified three areas where innovation or policy can make a difference.
Understanding Disparities
Bostic said creating an economy that works for everyone requires policymakers to identify why disparities exist and, to the extent possible, talk to those who could contribute to narrowing those discrepancies to ensure all receive opportunities based on their talents and abilities. To that end, 18 months ago, the Fed began convening a Special Committee on Payments Inclusion that brings together experts from the payment sector, merchants, academics, and policymakers to try to understand the landscape and to set some priorities about what inclusion might look like.
Lowering the Cost of Engagement
Bostic said financial inclusion means anyone can access the tools of financial markets, including credit instruments like mortgages and loans, bank accounts, and payment systems. He says it's vital for the financial sector to encourage innovation to reduce hurdles and costs. By increasing engagement with the financial marketplace, more people can accomplish goals such as starting a business or buying a house.
Embracing Diversity
Bostic said the best ideas include input from various voices and perspectives. To promote diversity in the economic and financial fields, the Atlanta Fed and the Federal Reserve Banks of Philadelphia and St. Louis have started a Federal Reserve Education Fellows program that partners with school districts to build economics curricula for middle and high school students. Bostic praised the diversity in the room and the Georgia Fintech Academy's work in helping to ensure that the next generation of fintech leaders are ready to build a diverse and inclusive industry. The student population of the Georgia Fintech Academy is 72 percent historically excluded populations and 34 percent women.
A recording of the event can be viewed on the Georgia Fintech Academy's YouTube Channel here.
About Rafael Bostic
Bostic took office as president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta in 2017, and he serves on the Federal Open Market Committee, the monetary policymaking body of the Federal Reserve System. Before these roles, Bostic spent 16 years at the University of Southern California (USC) as a faculty member in real estate, public policy, planning, and development. He previously served in the Obama Administration as assistant secretary for policy development and research at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). He previously worked at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Bostic graduated from Harvard University with a combined major in economics and psychology. He earned his doctorate in economics from Stanford University.
About the Georgia Fintech Academy
The Georgia Fintech Academy is a University System of Georgia (USG) collaboration between the State of Georgia's fintech industry, the Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University, and the colleges and universities of the USG. Since it was established in 2018, the academy has educated more than 4,300 students from more than 20 different institutions across the state, enabling them to obtain specialized educational experiences needed to enter the fintech sector regardless of where they live in the state or their institution of enrollment. The student population of the academy is 71 percent historically excluded populations and 31 percent women. More than 50 fintech employers in Georgia engage with the academy; corporate sponsors have included InComm Payments, Truist, Intercontinental Exchange, Deluxe Corporation, Investco, FleetCor, Fiserv, and CUNA Mutual Group.
About the Robinson College of Business
Georgia State University's J. Mack Robinson College of Business is addressing the growing need for a highly skilled fintech workforce through degree programs and certificates in fintech innovation, cybersecurity for fintech, actuarial science, quantitative risk analysis and management, and more.

I read about the Synaptic Web, by Dominiek ter Heide on Gigaom, with great interest a couple of weeks ago and have since reflected upon the post.
Dominiek basically thinks the Semantic Web (a web that is interconnected by computer interpreted relationships and data that has been massively supported by Sir Tim Berners-Lee) has failed.
Dominiek states a web based on a knowledge graph is boring and with knowledge having shorter and shorter lifespan makes semantic search obsolete quicker. The real time web is making documents less important and by only measuring structured document data the semantic web is fundamentally flawed. Also we need a web in which information finds you based on how your attention, emotions and thinking interconnects with the rest of the world and again the semantic web does not allow for this.
Essentially the synaptic web ditches the over reliance on documents, knowledge and keyword search and moves to a world of big data, real-time streams and human emotions that is dynamic, centred around humans and where the information finds you.
After reflection I now think that Dominiek's assumptions are far too forward thinking, omit variables and do not deal with the average Jo's daily life in Search.
And finally; if it hasn't caught on since it was truly conceived in November 2009 then it never will.
Whilst there are issues with the Semantic web I still see there is a massively important part for semantics to play in the future of Web Search when it is accompanied with its 3 other bed fellows – Personalisation, Local & Social. Something I posted about over 12 months ago.


A method is a function tied to a type, most commonly a struct.
This is similar to classes in languages like Java or C++.
In the above example method PrintFullName takes a reciver named p of type *Person.
People coming from other languages are tempted to name the receiver this (mimicking C++) or self (mimicking Python).
Method receiver can be either a value and a pointer.
As you can see, when p is of type Person, we can call both methods defined for Person and *Person. Go will automatically convert receiver Person to *Person.
It doesn't work the other way i.e. you can't call method with receiver Person on value with type *Person.

Renee Young on Dean Ambrose not informing her of WWE Title win
By Harrison - February 3, 2019
One of the best moments in Dean Ambrose's career came when he cashed in his Money In The Bank Contract at the 2016 Money In The Bank event and became the WWE Champion. It was the night where all three members of The Shield were WWE Champion.
During Not Sam Wrestling, Corey Graves said that he was watching WrestleMania 31 from the skybox, where he congratulated Rollins on his match against Randy Orton. Rollins replied "you ain't seen nothing yet", which Graves eventually realised what Seth meant once he saw him run down with his Money In The Bank briefcase to cash in during the main event and close out the show by becoming the WWE Champion.
Renee Young then talked about how her husband Dean Ambrose, whom she also calls Jon, didn't inform of her the big WWE title win beforehand during Money In The Bank 2016.
"It's magical, yeah like when Dean cashed in his Money In The Bank and won the WWE Championship. He NEVER tells me anything. But yeah, I heard some people backstage say, 'Yeah, make sure you watch tonight's main event,' I was like, 'Okay, what?' And thank god I got to get to a monitor and I got to see Jon cash in his Money In The Bank contract otherwise I would not have seen that, but to get those magical moments is like, it blows your mind."
"It blew my mind and we got to drive home that night and we just went to our own house like, 'Oo that was weird.' Then we went and drank tall boys behind a gas station."
However, things are different for Ambrose now, as he is set to leave the company after April. We will have to wait and see what's in store for Dean.

A juror who sat for four months on the grand jury that handed down a two-count indictment of Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Friday, admitted to the Houston Chronicle on Tuesday that she was an active member of the Democratic Party and had participated in its State Convention, at the same time as passing judgment on the state's top Republican.
Moreover, Rho Chalmers attended, photographed and wrote about an event with Democratic State Sen. Kirk Wilson, who testified before that selfsame jury just one month before, mediatrackers.org reported.
Chalmers of course denied any bias in her decision-making process.
But if your life experience includes bragging about your Democratic Party credentials at their State Convention on your Facebook page with accompanying photographs, attending an event which features a grand jury witness and posting it on a community Facebook page you've started, and serving on the Rules Committee of the Texas Democratic Party while still serving on the grand jury, then your objectivity may fairly be called into question.
Multiple posts from her personal Facebook site identify her as a proud Democratic activist, in addition to her "likes" for University Democrats, Central Austin Democrats, Black Austin Democrats, and South Travis United Democrats.
Chalmers' credentials to Dem. Conv.
Perry's lawyers will have a field day with these revelations and Ms. Chalmers may learn the hard way, that she should have recused herself from serving in this high stakes case.

The defence reaction of operculum closing in response to the presence of the molluscivorous leech Glossiphonia complanata (L.) and the non-molluscivorous Erpobdella octoculata (L.) was studied in four species of freshwater prosobranch gastropod. Bithynia tentaculata (L.) and Valvata piscinalis (Müller) can distinguish between the leeches, reacting only to G. complanata. V. piscinalis is capable of a greater degree of distance chemoreception of the leech 'scent'. Valvata cristata Müller and Potamopyrgus jenkinsi (Smith) did not react to either leech. V. cristata may not be a potential prey item for G. complanata, while P. jenkinsi is fed on by the leech, but is a relative newcomer to the freshwater fauna.

Tomás Borrás y Bermejo (Madrid, 10 de febrero de 1891-Madrid, 26 de agosto de 1976) fue un escritor y periodista español. Elaboró el mito  de que en la primavera de 1936 se estaba preparando una revolución comunista en España que el golpe de Estado de julio de 1936 abortó.

Biografía
Tomás Borrás nació en Madrid, hijo de tarraconense y de segoviana. Cursó el bachillerato en el Instituto de San Isidro y posteriormente comenzó la carrera de leyes, que abandonó pronto debido principalmente a su falta de vocación. Ya desde joven comenzó a escribir. Fue tertuliano del Café de Pombo y como tal aparece en el célebre cuadro de José Gutiérrez Solana. Estuvo casado con la tonadillera y cupletista Aurora Purificación Mañanos Jaufrett, conocida como «La Goya».

Entró en el mundo del periodismo, e inicialmente tuvo colaboraciones periodísticas en el diario oficioso La Nación durante la dictadura de Primo de Rivera, aunque en 1930 ingresó en el diario ABC y en su publicación anexa, la revista Blanco y Negro. En su madurez militó inicialmente en las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista (JONS) y luego en Falange Española. Elaboró, en 1936, documentos falsos que, más tarde, utilizaría el bando sublevado para justificar el golpe de Estado de julio como respuesta a una inminente revolución comunista en España. Durante la dictadura franquista colaboró con publicaciones como Vértice y posteriormente pasó a dirigir los diarios F.E. de Sevilla y España de Tánger. Ocupó algunos cargos políticos y llegó a ser cronista oficial de la villa de Madrid.

Murió en la clínica Ruber de Madrid el 26 de agosto de 1976.

Honores
En el año 1953 fue nombrado periodista de honor y cronista oficial de la Villa de Madrid. Obtuvo también el Premio Nacional de Periodismo y el Premio Nacional de Literatura. Al poco de su muerte el Ayuntamiento de Madrid le dedicó el nombre de la calle donde vivió gran parte de su vida. El Círculo de Bellas Artes colocó en la esquina de la calle una placa conmemorativa.

Obras
Tomás Borrás fue un periodista prolífico. Entre sus obras se encuentran, además, novelas y algunas obras de teatro. Se puede decir que tuvo afición por los cuentos, los versos, los ensayos diversos, las biografías. Literariamente se le puede considerar dentro del modernismo y hay que destacar su fuerte implicación en una de las compañías más renovadoras de la escena española, el Teatro de arte dirigido por Gregorio Martínez Sierra. En particular su pantomima El sapo enamorado, estrenada en 1916 con música de Pablo Luna y decorados de José Zamora, forma parte de una de las propuestas más innovadoras (junto a El amor brujo o El corregidor y la molinera, las otras dos pantomimas representadas en el Teatro Eslava) de la escena madrileña del momento.

Cuento o relato breve
«Cuentos gnómicos» denominó el autor a un conjunto de 203 relatos muy breves (no existía aún la etiqueta «microrrelato"), de entre cuatro y menos de una página, publicados en trece libros, siendo el primero Unos y otros fantasmas (1940) y el último Agua salada en agua dulce (1969).

Novela
Algunas novelas:
 La pared de tela de araña (1924)
 La mujer de sal (1925)
 El rey de los Estados Unidos (1935)
 Checas de Madrid (1940)
 La sangre de las almas (1947)
 Luna de enero y el amor primero (1953)
 Madrid teñido de rojo (1962)

Teatro

Sus obras de teatro más significativas fueron:
 El sapo enamorado (pantomima, música de Pablo Luna, 1916)
 El Avapiés (drama lírico en tres actos, música de Conrado del Campo y Ángel Barrios, 1922)
 Fantochines (ópera de cámara, música de Conrado del Campo, 1923)
 El pájaro de dos colores (ópera de cámara, música de Conrado del Campo, 1929)
 Tam Tam (1931)
 Fígaro (1940)
 La esclava del Sacramento (1943)

Radio
 Todos los ruidos de aquel día, radiodrama (el autor lo denominó "telecomedia") emitido en Unión Radio el 24 de abril de 1931 (diez días después de la proclamación de la II República). Ha sido considerada "una de las primeras piezas radiofónicas en las que los artificios sonoros alcanzaban presencia fundamental".

A: Got it, no bug after all and I'm amazed it took me so long to spot what's going on.
The images are not stored on umich.edu domain, but rather on a different domain.
When going to http://quod.lib.umich.edu/j/jep/images/3336451.0007.104-00000002.gif the server is sending a 302 header, with the new location:

Browsers of course can handle this properly, and so imgur.com itself, which check for such header, however Stack Exchange is using API provided by imgur, which does not check for such header.
You can try starting a feature request asking to support those cases, and until then just use the "real" URL of the images, e.g. http://www.journalofelectronicpublishing.org/images/3336451.0007.104-00000002.gif which works fine.
