I found two sites containing information about 'a priori' and 'a posteriori' knowledge.
-http://www.iep.utm.edu/apriori/
this site is basically the philosophy view of 'a priori vs. a posteriori knowledge'.
-http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/kant-judgement/#JudBelSciKno
this one is written from Mr. Kants' point of view and research of 'a priori vs. a posteriori knowledge'.
I researched the 'The Gettier Problem' like you asked, and as I was reading this site, and looking over your notes, this site made me understand what is the meaning of 'The Gettier Problem'. This website used examples and explained the process of justified belief over false knowledge, like how do you know? versus it might be false, when all along you were right about something? It just made me understand it better! I wanted to share with you to understand what I mean.

If I understand this right, she was given to the Taliban at the age of 12 as Bride because of either a Blood debt her father owned or because of a practice called "Baad", a method of settling disputes between rival families.
She then tried to escape, was captured by the government, and then sent back to her Husband and Inlaws.
she was then taken to a Taliban court that found her guilty of Dishonoring and Shaming her husband's family, and sentenced to have her nose and ears cut off and left to die.Kellie Ann person found these sites:
