Every year, the people of the Protectorate leave a baby as an offering to the witch who lives in the forest. They hope this sacrifice will keep her from terrorizing their town. But the witch in the forest, Xan, is kind and gentle. She shares her home with a wise Swamp Monster named Glerk and a Perfectly Tiny Dragon, Fyrian. Xan rescues the abandoned children and delivers them to welcoming families on the other side of the forest, nourishing the babies with starlight on the journey. When Luna approaches her thirteenth birthday, her magic begins to emerge on schedule–but Xan is far away. Soon, it is up to Luna to protect those who have protected her–even if it means the end of the loving, safe world she’s always known.
Imagine being able to detect one of the leading causes of hospital deaths, and one of the most expensive conditions in health care to treat, months in advance to save lives and for health care providers, tremendous amounts of money.

For that achievement, Katz, 38, formerly of Hubbard, was recognized by IBM, one of the world’s leading innovators in artificial intelligence as one of the top 40 women across the globe in the field as part of the company’s prestigious Women Leaders in AI program.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. â From relating conversations on bias to windows and mirrors to researching activists, five Kansas City metro elementary and middle school teachers recently discussed implicit bias in the classroom and how to approach the subject with children. I think bias is just the not knowing or not experiencing other cultures or races, Vonnchet Clark, a pre-kindergarten and kindergarten teacher, said. It s the lack of resources available to students. It s the lack of representation. I think that s how bias starts to develop in young children.
