HKSAR v Deborah Annells: Prolific Offending and Regulatory Shortcomings
On 11 July 2016 British tax consultant Deborah Annells was sentenced by the High Court of Hong Kong to nine years' imprisonment for offences relating to theft, fraud and possession of a false instrument, following a guilty plea.[1] The case is an example of serious and prolific white-collar offending, and one which raises major concerns about the regulatory and oversight bodies responsible for consumer protection in the finance industry and the ethical conduct of finance professionals.
The defendant was the founder and chief executive of AzureTax, a company that specialised in organising the tax affairs of expatriates in Hong Kong, and which sometimes involved setting up trust funds. She is a past president of the Rotary Club of Hong Kong, has sat on the general committee of the British Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, and was chairman of its finance committee.
From June 2009 to April 2013, the defendant misappropriated over HK$30 million from four of her clients. Following her initial arrest, she appeared in the Magistrates' Court on 8 November 2013 and was granted bail with conditions, one of which imposed a travel restriction on her. On 11 April 2014, the defendant applied to remove the restriction by producing a false document to the court. The document misrepresented her company's financial position by creating the impression it had obtained a lease for office space, apparently demonstrating commercial ties to Hong Kong. The false document undoubtedly influenced the Magistrate to lift the travel restriction despite the defendant's very substantial flight risk.
On 9 December 2015, following a trial, the defendant was convicted of perverting the course of public justice, attempted fraud, and possessing a false instrument. She was sentenced to a total of four years' imprisonment. On 4 July 2016, the defendant pleaded guilty to the remaining 45 offences of theft and was sentenced by Mr Justice Zervos on 11 July 2016.
The High Court's Sentence
The Court noted that through blatant and repeated acts of dishonesty and deceit over a protracted period, the defendant had systematically stolen large amounts of her clients' funds. It found that:
"Her conduct constituted a serious breach of trust and a gross abuse of her professional duties and responsibilities towards her clients who as a result suffered extreme hardship and despair. Throughout this time she acted without any degree of regret or tinge of concern for the people who trusted and relied on her, both personally and professionally." [2]
In adopting a global approach to sentencing the defendant, the Court took into account at least four factors. First, the fact that there were 45 theft offences occurring over a period of nearly four years. Second, the use of false documents while the defendant was on bail. Third, the total sum of HK$30 million, only some of which was recovered by two of the victims (but only after taking legal action). Fourth, the fact that the defendant had abused her professional and statutory positions.
The Court therefore began with a sentencing starting point of 13 and a half years' imprisonment, reduced to nine years for the defendant's guilty plea. It was decided that 18 months of the previous four years' imprisonment for the perverting offence would run consecutively. The defendant therefore received a total sentence of ten and a half years' imprisonment.
The Court held that given the nature and gravity of her offending, Ms Annells' personal circumstances and professional history provided no meaningful mitigation. It emphasised that white-collar crime has a significant impact on its victims and cannot be said to be a 'victimless crime'. There is always a victim, whether an individual who has suffered loss or the community at large. The Court emphasised that three victim impact statements had been provided that:
"reveal the extent of the hardship that each of them has gone through at the hands of the defendant's greed and deception…The trusts were to provide for the future financial security of the victims and their families and that was shattered by the defendant's misdeeds." [3]
Highlighting flaws in Regulation
The Court noted that, despite the defendant's professional standing, there was a disturbing failure of the relevant regulatory and oversight bodies to ensure that financial professionals are fully aware of their ethical duties and professional responsibilities. The High Court stated:
"It is not a case of ticking a box in acknowledgement of such duties and responsibilities but by making sure through effective monitoring and education that professionals are fully aware of their duties and responsibilities because of the privileged and trusted position that they are in." [4]
In this instance, both the Financial Secretary and the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) were presented with compelling evidence of the defendant's fraud and breaches of trust, but declined to act.
Financial Secretary's Office
Under s95 of the Trustee Ordinance, the Financial Secretary has the power to appoint an inspector if there are circumstances which suggest:
"a) That the trust company has committed a breach of trust; (b)That the business of the trust company is being conducted with intent to defraud its creditors…or otherwise for a fraudulent or unlawful purpose…"
On 18 November 2011, one of the victims wrote to the Financial Secretary informing him of the defendant's actions and asking for an inspector to be appointed. The letter included an affidavit from a former director of AzureTax who had inside knowledge that the defendant had been misappropriating funds. On 1 December 2011, the same person sent another letter outlining an attempted theft from a third party in order to repay the stolen trust money. It was accompanied by full correspondence between the solicitors of the two parties, which included an express admittance of dishonesty by the defendant's solicitor.
On 19 January 2012, the Financial Services and Treasury Bureau (FTSB) replied to the letters stating that "there were insufficient grounds to appoint an inspector and that the case does not seem to involve significant or great public interest." This view directly contrasts to that of Mr Justice Zervos, who during sentencing emphasised how the defendant's conduct in her capacity as a trustee, had a serious impact on the public, and in particular, public confidence in the financial system.
2. The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA)
Despite receiving the same detailed information in November 2011, the HKICPA did not formally discuss the defendant's case until two and a half years later in September 2014, when it was referred to its Disciplinary Panel. As of October 2016, according to its website, the HKICPA has still not arrived at a verdict in the matter.
Following the sentencing hearing, Hillary Cordell, a victim of the defendant, alleged failures of both institutions to regulate Deborah Annells' conduct effectively. She remarked that she was extremely grateful to have been listened to "after the utterly inadequate reaction from the HKICPA and the Financial Secretary. This was such a long time in coming."
The Deborah Annells case is a grave example of white-collar offending, concerning the theft of more than HK$30 million over a period of four years. The defendant engaged in a sustained and serious abuse of trust in order to steal substantial sums of money from her clients and to conceal the theft from them. If it were not for the actions of one of her senior employees, who alerted the clients and the authorities to what was taking place, the situation could have been even more serious.
The case also highlights a potential flaw in government and regulatory bodies with oversight for these areas. Despite having powers to police financial institutions and their members, they were reluctant to apply these powers in this case. The fact that the defendant caused such a degree of harm, despite being a regulated professional, is damaging to Hong Kong's reputation as a financial centre seeking to attract global investment. This fact will not be lost on the regulatory institutions, which will no doubt now review the approach to be taken in similar cases in the future.

Elon Musk urges potential Tesla buyers in China to order cars now to fund the new Gigafactory

Kanka NewsElon Musk speaks to Kanka News during his trip to Shanghai this week
Tesla CEO Elon Musk spoke to Chinese state media on his trip to Shanghai this week to break ground on a new Gigafactory.
He urged consumers to order their vehicle today in order to help fund the construction.
A cheaper Model 3 won't happen any time soon, either, he said, so people should not wait for a price cut.
For Chinese drivers hoping to snag a cheaper TeslaModel 3, CEO Elon Musk doesn't want you to wait.
"I also want to encourage Chinese consumers to place an order for our Model 3 right now," Musk told the state-owned Kanka News website on Monday while in Shanghai for the groundbreaking of a new Gigafactory. The interview was first reported by Bloomberg.
The automaker last week slashed prices on all its cars by $US2,000 to help alleviate some headaches brought on by the halving of a federal tax credit by $US3,750 on January 1. But when a mass-market versionof the Model 3, which CEO Elon Musk once said could ship by last year, will arrive, is still anybody's guess.
"You don't have to wait until next year to see if these high-end cars will cut prices," he continued. "It will be the same price next year, so you don't have to wait."
Musk also urged consumers in the world's largest vehicle market to order their cars as soon as possible so that Tesla can use the funding for factory construction.
"Consumers don't have to wait," he said. "When they place orders, we can better build our Gigafactory."
The lowest-cost option for a Model 3 on the company's US site is currently $US44,000 before tax incentives, and as low as $US33,950 after the rebates. It plans to continue producing the premium version in California for now.
"The ones we produce in Shanghai are relatively low-profile models of the Model 3," said Musk. "We hope to bring the more cost-effective Model 3 and Model Y models to Chinese consumers."
Lasy week, Tesla said it plans to begin delivering cars in China as soon as March, confirming the time frame that Musk laid out last year. According to the statement, starting prices for a Model 3 in the country will be 499,000 yuan, or $US72,000.
Tesla is reportedly close to getting approval to sell the Model 3 in Europe
Elon Musk has started building a Tesla Gigafactory in China, and it could let him dodge Trump's trade war

A stellar cashback card if you dine out or travel frequently, with solid rewards for Uber rides.
Get this card if you're always on the go — eating out, traveling or riding with Uber.
Pick something else if you want flat-rate cash back on all purchases.
Uber is hopping into the credit card game with its Uber Visa Card. This product isn't just for Uber riders — you'll find great rewards for many different categories.
Most notably, the card offers stellar rewards for dining and travel, which eclipse even those from fan favorites and market leaders. You might wish the card offered more cash back on Uber rides, but it's still a solid rate. You'll also receive rewards for online shopping and on every other purchase.
Ultimately, this card is designed for someone who's out all the time — hitting their favorite restaurants, traveling constantly and making online purchases to complement their busy lifestyle. If that's you, you'll find monumental value from this no-annual-fee card.
This card has strong rewards, and you won't pay an annual fee to earn them.
To earn it, spend $500 on purchases within the first 90 days following your account opening. It's a decent bonus, but you'll find cards that offer bonuses worth $200.
Rewards: Earn cash back for a variety of spending.
The Uber Visa Card comes with robust rewards, including up to 4% cash back. Though Barclays markets the card as a cashback product, you'll receive rewards in the form of points. Redeem points for cash back, Uber credits or gift cards.
After you link your Uber Visa Card to your Uber account, you can redeem points easily. Your credits will be applied to your fare without any extra effort on your part.
How much cashback rewards can I earn with the Uber Visa Card?
4% back on dining. Restaurants, bars, takeout and UberEATS.
3% back on travel. Hotels, airfare and vacation home rentals.
2% back on online purchases. Video and music streaming, Uber rides and online shopping.
Since the Uber Visa Card has no annual fee, you don't need to worry about earning enough rewards to make the card worth it. However, you'll get the most out of it if you eat out or travel often.
Earn up to a $50 credit for online subscription services after spending $5,000 each card year.
The credit will be applied to what you've already spent on online subscription services, as well as what you'll spend on those services until the end of your card year. Eligible services include Apple Music, Spotify, Google Music, Pandora, Amazon Music, Netflix, HBO NOW, Amazon Prime and more.

You'll periodically receive invitations to exclusive events, typically in major cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Washington DC and Chicago.
The Uber Visa Card is an excellent choice compared to many specialized cards, so long as you have the right mix of spending.
Go for the Uber Visa Card if you travel often and love eating out.
If most of your spending consists of everyday purchases like gas, convenience stores or gym membership, you may get more out of a general cash back card.
Depending on your credit, you could have a purchase and balance transfer APR as high as 25.99% variable. Consider avoiding balance transfers, as they don't have interest grace periods.
Cash advances come with a 27.24% variable APR. Like balance transfers, cash advances don't come with interest grace periods.
Late and returned payments can hurt: You'll pay up to $37 per infraction.
You'll need a minimum of 2,500 points to redeem for cash back or gift cards. For Uber credits, you need a minimum of 500 points.
The Uber Visa Card isn't the only card that rewards you for spending. Many Barclaycard credit cards offer excellent rewards if you have the credit score to qualify.
To apply for the Uber Visa Card, you must be at least 18 years old and a US resident. You're not eligible if you live in Puerto Rico or a US territory.
You'll have a better chance of approval for this card if you apply with a good to excellent credit score of 670 or higher.

The SD75 is a great new BNSF locomotive to keep your freight rolling on the Cajon Pass! With 3 loco variants and new wagons included, the SD75 is a superb addition to your train shed.
Built by EMD between 1994 and 1999, the SD75M is a 4,300-horsepower 6-axle diesel freight locomotive based on the successful SD70 series, and introduced as a competitor to the Dash 9 series. The "M" in the model designation is the style of the cab, in this case the North American-style cab. The SD75I has a "WhisperCab" with improved sound insulation. The great majority of the series was ordered by BNSF, who specially requested the SD75M as a more powerful alternative to the SD70. It is almost identical to the SD70, but can be distinguished by equipment blower ducts on both sides of the locomotive.
The SD75 for Train Simulator 2012 includes SD75M and SD75I loco variants and a selection of new freight cars, plus 5 scenarios for the Cajon Pass.

Recent downward revisions in the climate response to rising CO2 levels, and opportunities for reducing non-CO2 climate warming, have both been cited as evidence that the case for reducing CO2 emissions is less urgent than previously thought. Evaluating the impact of delay is complicated by the fact that CO2 emissions accumulate over time, so what happens after they peak is as relevant for long-term warming as the size and timing of the peak itself. Previous discussions have focused on how the rate of reduction required to meet any given temperature target rises asymptotically the later the emissions peak. Here we focus on a complementary question: how fast is peak CO2-induced warming increasing while mitigation is delayed, assuming no increase in rates of reduction after the emissions peak? We show that this peak-committed warming is increasing at the same rate as cumulative CO2 emissions, about 2% per year, much faster than observed warming, independent of the climate response.

How many times have I heard this phrase, both inside and outside of my tarot studio? It seems that most of us have a strictly "paintbrushes and poems" vision of the creative process. If we're not engaged in the arts of music, painting, photography, etc. well, we're just not creative.
Sometimes it's tiring being rational, or at least occupying a rational standpoint 100% of the time. This week we're willingly sacrificing the need to be right so that we can open up to new sources of knowledge, namely our feelings and intuitions.

War Pensions (Nuclear Test Veterans)
Mr. Rooker
To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what benefits are available to ex-service personnel accepted by the War Pensions Agency as suffering chromosome damage attributable to service. [37504]
Mr. Heald
War disablement pensions or gratuities may be awarded to ex-service personnel for any disablement which is attributable to service in the Armed Forces.The amount payable depends upon the medically assessed degree of disablement.Supplementary allowances may be payable in addition to the basic pension or gratuity.
To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many of the service personnel involved in the British nuclear test programme have been found to be suffering from chromosome damage attributable to service. [37505]
A pensions appeal tribunal has found, in one particular case, a claimant to be suffering from chromosome damage attributable to service.The Secretary of State has applied for leave to appeal to the High Court on the ground that the tribunal's decision is wrong in law.
To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many war pensions have been awarded in (a) 1980 to 1985, (b) 1986 to 1990 and (c) 1991 to 1995 to ex-service personnel as a result of injury or medical conditions attributable to participation in the British nuclear test programmes in Australia and the South Pacific. [37506]
The information in the table relates to war disablement pensions or gratuities awarded to ex-service personnel who, during their career, participated in the British nuclear weapons tests programme. These records do not specify whether the accepted injuries or other medical condition are related to service at the test sites or to some other period of service.

New Year's Socializing
About a week ago we arranged with our friends here to convene for breakfast at Low Country Produce & Café at 9:00 o'clock this morning. The reason I am fairly certain about when the plan was made is that unusually the gathering was proposed and confirmed almost immediately on the heels of our having had dinner together. Not only is one's appetite for breakfast normally diminished – if not in fact dissuaded – by dinner but also most social commitments customarily have far more breathing space. In this instance however – being seasonal interlopers on Hilton Head Island – our time together is limited and neither we nor our friends have any local competition for similar get-togethers. More important I suppose is that we enjoy one another's company, a fact which trumps the sometimes diaphanous feature of blunt society. We have what I call a pleasantly languid alliance which contributes to a laid-back idiom.
As a matter of etiquette we both affirmed the date "in writing" (that is, by reciprocal emails). I am amused by such apparently trifling conventions since as a child there was bred into me by my mother similarly trite but mandatory observations. I was taught for example that a thank-you note is always in the same manner as the invitation (that is, by return telephone call or by written letter as the case may be) and in any event made or posted not later than 6:00 pm on the day following the event. I have no doubt that my mother regularly consulted Emily Post's book of "Etiquette" particularly as my mother was initiated to the niceties of diplomatic life and entertainment as early as 1957 when she was only 31 years old and my father was appointed Chief Staff Officer and Assistant Air Attaché at Canadian Joint Staff, Washington, D.C.
As much as one may with the passage of time be inclined to dismiss the preoccupation with etiquette as frivolous and even tedious, at the time in Washington we were at risk of unwittingly exposing ourselves to potentially awkward circumstances. As diplomats our family was parachuted into the local residential area of Washington which was home to similarly inclined people. From the first City States in Rome it was considered imperative that the most parochial representative should be well positioned as a favourable reflection on his home government. The arrondissement in Washington was known as "Northwest". For example our neighbours included Vice-President Richard M. Nixon (whose daughter Julie and I were in the same classroom at Horace Mann School), Harry Reasoner (one of the lead Counsel for the US government), Dr. D. Cox (whose son-in-law, an attorney, was later implicated in the Nixon Watergate scandal), and various industrialists such as the Suydam family who undeniably lived like the others in privileged circumstances with chauffeurs, maids, billiard rooms and swimming pools.
Northwest (NW or N.W.) is the northwestern quadrant of Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, and is located north of the National Mall and west of North Capitol Street. It is the largest of the four quadrants of the city (NW, NE, SW and SE), and it includes the central business district, the Federal Triangle, and the museums along the northern side of the National Mall, as well as such neighborhoods as West End, Petworth, Dupont Circle, LeDroit Park, Georgetown, Adams Morgan, Embassy Row, Glover Park, Tenleytown, Foggy Bottom, Cleveland Park, Columbia Heights, Mount Pleasant, the Palisades, Shepherd Park, Crestwood, Bloomingdale, Takoma and Friendship Heights.
Embassy Row is the informal name for the section of Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. between Scott Circle and the North side of the United States Naval Observatory, in which embassies, diplomatic missions, and other diplomatic representations are concentrated. By extension, the name may be used to encompass nearby streets which also host diplomatic buildings.
Considered Washington's premier residential address in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Massachusetts Avenue became known for its numerous mansions housing the city's social and political elites. The segment between Scott Circle and Sheridan Circle gained the nickname "Millionaires' Row".
In any review of social etiquette it is useful to recite the sobering observation of Emily Post on the subject:
With the greatest of respect to Miss Post's insight, I believe her compelling adage disguises the deeper truth that "awareness of the feelings of others" doesn't fully account for the skill of adept socialites to know when to keep quiet. Social faux-pas are a bit like the sound of a tree falling in the forest – no one notices unless they hear of it. By extension this line of conjecture can promote such absurd questions as that posed to Albert Einstein; namely, whether he realistically believed that the moon does not exist if nobody is looking at it. Barring the persuasion of such philosophical intrigue, I prefer as a result to equate etiquette not with an airy debate of perception and reality but with a less passive approach. It perhaps dignifies social reluctance to describe it as "guarded" behaviour. For me this captures the tact of discretion while preserving the notion of propriety, the admission of principles.
The fluidity of this morning's social congress was manifest from the moment of our reunion. A subdued gentility subsisted. Though we were disappointed to discover that our restaurant of choice was closed today we rose above the temporary obstruction without regret and headed for what turned out to be the preferred advantage of sitting en plein air at another popular place preposterously called "Watusi". Our rambling conversation under the umbrella in the courtyard on this balmy maritime morning alighted upon aimless topics, animated by dormant memories and general inquisitiveness, including of course a discussion of one's health and the weather, the regular standbys, and even fleetingly the more distasteful subject of work. Round the corner of each talking point was a lead to another matter of absorption. We soon contrived to visit a local juice bar afterwards. Meanwhile the food arrived and our minds and bodies were replenished.
It was a purely serendipitous corollary to our foregathering that after breakfast and the juice bar (where we lingered unhurried for a good long while) we collected from our mutual estate agent the passcode for a condominium which our friends proposed to rent next year upon their return visit. By the time we arrived at the condominium the previous tenants had vacated and it had been cleaned by the staff. We were therefore afforded a proper view of the place and all of us were delighted with what we saw. The decision of our friends to take the place was only momentarily suspended by issues of size and accessibility comparative to their current bungalow; otherwise the view of the condominium upon Calibogue Cay carried the day. And the sound of the sea. It was with a bounce in our collective step that we left the premises.
Our sojourn at an end and our friends reunited with their current digs, we said our goodbyes as their departure from the Island is imminent. The remainder of the day was spent bicycling on the beach and taking in the sunshine.

Males of two strains of carp, wild Duna (D), and inbred Szarvas 22 (22), were selected for high and low stress response. Two purebreds of D and 22, from randomly chosen parents and four crosses, 22 × 22-L (low stress response), 22 × 22-H (high stress response), 22 × D-L (low stress response) and 22 × D-H (high stress response) from selected stress response parents were produced and vaccinated with a commercial Aeromonas salmonicida/Aeromonas hydrophila vaccine and their circulating antibody response evaluated 1, 3, 5, and 7 weeks post-vaccination by ELISA. Significantly higher titres of circulatory antibodies against A. hydrophila were found in the families 22 and cross 22 × 22-L compared to other groups. The development of circulatory antibodies against A. hydrophila in all crosses having at least one D parent was low and remained low throughout the experiment. The level of circulatory antibodies against atypical A. salmonicida in the inbred strain increased following a booster vaccination with the highest values measured in inbred strain 22 and cross 22 × 22 L. The different varieties of carp had different levels of survival against experimental challenge with A. hydrophila. The greatest survival was obtained in strain 22 and cross 22 × 22-L, while ~90% of D wild carp and cross 22 × D (independent of their stress response) died. Survival results correlated well with the antibody response of the different groups: 22 and 22 × 22-L had the highest antibody titres against A. hydrophila and the greatest level of survival.

Similarities and Differences in Risk and Protective Factors in Teacher Induction for Prospective Elementary and Physical and Health Education Teachers/similarités et Différences Concernant Les Facteurs De Risque et De Protection Reliés À L'insertion Professionnelle De Futurs Enseignants Du Primaire et De Futurs Enseignants D'éducation Physique et À la Santé
By Leroux, Mylène; Beaudoin, Charlotte; Grenier, Johanne; Turcotte, Sylvain; Rivard, Marie-Claude
A wealth of research on teachers' professional induction early in their career illustrates the precarious conditions they experience (Blankenship & Coleman, 2009).1 The induction period is often considered a crucial and adverse moment in a teacher's career (Tait, 2008). Portelance, Mukamurera, Martineau and Gervais (2008) argued that induction is now more complex than before because precarious conditions amplify the inherent challenges. Houlfort and Sauvé (2010) added that this precariousness seems to be the primary factor affecting early career teachers' psychological health. Moreover, even though beginning teachers experience an intensive period of learning and adaptation (Feiman-Nemser, Schwille, Carver, & Yusko, 1999), they are expected to almost immediately assume the same responsibility as experienced teachers (Fantilli & McDougall, 2009; Le Maistre & Paré, 2010). As if this were not daunting enough, novice teachers are often burdened with the heaviest and most complex tasks (Conseil supérieur de l'éducation [CSE], 2004). These demanding tasks, shunned by everyone else (Gingras & Mukamurera, 2008), often consist of residual duties (Portelance et al., 2008) with less attractive schedules (Martineau & Vallerand, 2007) and fragmented, difficult-to-manage chores (Mukamurera, 2005) with challenging students (Fantilli & McDougall, 2009; Fletcher, Chang, & Kong, 2008; Martineau, Gervais, Portelance, & Mukamurera, 2008; Moir, 2009) in schools with the greatest needs (Moir, 2009). These conditions probably help to explain the "reality shock" beginning teachers experience, as many of them are confronted with a gap between expectations and reality (Le Maistre & Paré, 2010; Mukamurera, Bourque, & Gingras, 2008).
All these challenges have significant impacts on early career teachers' experience including high stress levels (Cossette, 1999), psychological distress (Mukamurera, Bourque, & Ntebuste, 2010), burnout (Fives, Hammam, & Olivarez, 2007), and even attrition. A number of international studies during the last decade indicated that the teacher attrition rate during the first years of induction fluctuates between 20% and 50% depending on the study or country (Martel, 2009; Parker & Martin, 2009; Rushton, Morgan, & Richard, 2007; Sharplin, O'Neill, & Chapman, 2011; Tamir, 2010). Other researchers also suggested that many teachers consider leaving the profession during their first five years of teaching - even if they do not end up doing so (Fantilli & McDougall, 2009; Mukamurera et al., 2008). The main causes of teacher attrition include heavy workload, lack of support and resources, a sense of inadequacy, and challenging behaviours and special needs on the part of students (Jeffrey & Sun, 2008; Mansfield, Beltman, Price, & McConney, 2012; Tait, 2008).
Given that retention in the early stages of the profession appears to be a major concern in many countries (Beltman, Mansfield, & Price, 2011; Le Cornu, 2009; Mansfield et al., 2012), some researchers argued that studying teacher resilience may be a way to promote "quality retention" (Gu & Day, 2007, p. 1314). According to Mukamurera et al. (2010), it also offers the opportunity to address positive adaptation for early career teachers, a promising avenue to counteract the adverse consequences of a challenging induction.
Though many studies have attempted to identify the barriers to teacher induction and their consequences, few have examined the transition from teacher education to induction. However, following Woolfolk Hoy and Burke Spero's (2005) results, it would be interesting to better understand why the increase in efficacy by the end of student teaching decreases during the first year of teaching. Moreover, very few researches have studied the situation of physical and health education teachers (PHETs) in particular (Blankenship & Coleman, 2009). Spallanzani, Desbiens and Beaudoin (2012) found significant differences in their teacher induction experience. …

Parent-Teacher Conference Update Parent-Teacher Conference Update
Next week, Willowbrook School will hold their live, online Parent-Teacher Conferences on October 19 (4:30-8:00 p.m.) and October 20 (12:00-8:00 p.m.). This fall's conferences will use the Zoom video conferencing tool rather than the built-in tool that was previously referenced. We felt this would provide a simpler and more efficient process for everyone.
During conferences, your classroom teacher will discuss academic and social-emotional goals, discuss how the learning experience is progressing at school and at home, and share details about the classroom community with you. This is a collaborative meeting between families and teachers where we can answer your questions. We are so proud of our students and their strong start. Thank you so much for your ongoing support and partnership.
We will share the directory of Zoom links on Monday, October 17. We ask that parents:
Be sure to assign your name to your Zoom account before entering the virtual waiting room. This will allow teachers to match the conference with the family name.
Be on time to the start of the scheduled conference and respect the ending time as other parents may be in the waiting room.
District 30's Response to Bullying District 30's Response to Bullying
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. We wish to raise awareness and increase understanding about bullying prevention through our curriculum and school-wide programming. We are fortunate that District 30's students consistently demonstrate respect and care, which are aligned with our core values from Character Counts! Even though that is the norm, isolated incidents of conflict and even bullying can and do occur that require attention and growth as we go through these years. Please know that we are partners with both issues when they involve our students and impact our schools.
For isolated incidents of conflict, we address them with all involved and have high expectations that they will not continue. If conflicts become ongoing and meet the definition of bullying, they are addressed through Board Policy 7:180 Prevention of and Response to Bullying, Intimidation, and Harassment.
Any form of bullying will not be tolerated in District 30. Bullying includes cyberbullying and means any severe or pervasive physical or verbal act or conduct, including communications made in writing or electronically, directed toward a student or students that has or can be reasonably predicted to have the effect of one or more of the following:
Placing the student or students in reasonable fear of harm to the student or student's person or property
Causing a substantially detrimental effect on the student or student's physical or mental health
Substantially interfering with the student's or students' academic performance
Substantially interfering with the student's or students' ability to participate in or benefit from the services, activities, or privileges provided by a school
Students are encouraged to immediately report bullying when experienced or witnessed. A report may be made orally or in writing to any District 30 staff member with whom the student is comfortable speaking. Additionally, anyone, including staff members and parents/guardians, who has information about actual or threatened bullying is encouraged to report it to the administration or a staff member.
Upon receipt of a bullying report, the administrators will act swiftly to conduct a bullying investigation and respond with appropriate actions to support the victim and prevent further inappropriate behaviors from occurring. Those conducting the investigation will be in contact with the parents/guardians of both students, the alleged offender, and the victim, throughout the process to allow both students the support to proceed from this situation primed for future success.
District 30 Joins the Global Read Aloud District 30 Joins the Global Read Aloud
Willowbrook and Wescott are excited to join the Global Read Aloud now through Nov. 11! We will join schools across the world in reading two of this year's selections: "The Smallest Girl in the Smallest Grade" for kindergarten through 3rd grade and "Thirst" for grades 4 and 5. Each teacher will read their book to their class, and all students can listen to our Star Reader any time online: District 30 Superintendent Dr. Brian Wegley!
Teachers choose a book from nine titles to read aloud to their students during a set 6-week period (Oct. 3-Nov. 11) and during that time they try to make as many global connections as possible using tools like social media, Skype or social platforms for educators. Each teacher decides how much time they would like to dedicate and how involved they would like to be. Some choose to connect with just one class, while others go for as many as possible. Since its inception in 2010, the program has had more than 4,000,000 students from more than 80 different countries participate!
Why are we participating?
Both books support our commitment to strengthen a sense of belonging through diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts that foster positive climates across District 30. Each tells an age-appropriate story of caring for others and standing up for important causes:
Smallest Girl in the Smallest Grade: Hardly anyone notices young Sally McCabe, but she notices everything, including bullying happening on the playground. One day, Sally decides to take a chance and stand up to the bullies, learning that one small girl can make a big difference.
Thirst: The story of a heroic girl who lives in the poorest part of Mumbai in India and fights for her belief that water should be for everyone.
The program also offers classrooms the opportunity to connect with other classrooms around the world, fostering learning and connections that can be cross-cultural and continue beyond the Global Read Aloud.

Bowel Cancer Australia today released a new report highlighting the impact of advanced bowel cancer in the country.
Bowel cancer is the country's second biggest cancer killer, and more than 40,000 Australians are projected to die from the disease over the next 10 years.
Yet, funding for advanced bowel cancer does not match the burden of disease.
Julien Wiggins, Bowel Cancer Australia CEO and co-author of the "Lifting the Lid on Advanced Bowel Cancer" report, explains "Bowel cancer has the second highest disease burden of any cancer in Australia, yet it received 40 per cent less research funding from the NHMRC compared to breast cancer from 2005 to 2014. Furthermore, bowel cancer received less than a fifth of the grants and funding provided by Cancer Australia for research and support services compared to breast and prostate cancer."
The report says key gaps in knowledge about bowel cancer are likely to be responsible for concerns about the cost effectiveness of treatments for advanced bowel cancer. According to Associate Professor Nick Pavlakis, Cancer Specialist at Royal North Shore Hospital: "Bowel cancer isn't a disease where we have seen major research breakthroughs and so consequently the number of available treatment approaches are limited.
"Gaining government funding for those that do exist is extremely important, as this can make huge difference to these patients who have few options," said Associate Professor Pavlakis.
Mr Wiggins says Bowel Cancer Australia is dedicated to saving lives and improving the health and wellbeing of people living with bowel cancer.
With median survival rates for advanced bowel cancer patients increasing from 6 to 24 months over the last three decades, and even longer for patients with RAS/RAF wild type tumours, we need to recognise advanced bowel cancer as a chronic disease.
Advanced bowel cancer patients therefore require access to increased treatment options so they are able to live for as long as possible, in the best health as possible," said Mr Wiggins.

2022-01-19: U2 Repressings Starting This Week
Some of U2's releases are not kept in print, which means when they sare sold out they are not pressed again. They can only be ordered by stores until quantities have been sold out and when they are gone they are gone.

2021-12-15: Remembering Mike
It's with a very heavy heart I have to share that one of the team here at U2Songs.com has passed away. Mike Long, aka Slaneman, joined the team when we were still over at U2Wanderer.org in 2005. He helped out with lyrics for a number of years and eventually took over the section. He had an ear that was unmatched, and as a professional musician we often turned to him to document differences...

2021-11-23: Achtung Baby 30: Coloured Vinyl By The Numbers
For the 30th anniversary of Achtung Baby U2 issued a limited edition numbered pressing of the album in red and blue vinyl. Before we get started on more details about that release, we are mapping where the numbers are if you have bought a copy and want to share.

2021-11-19: Achtung! Achtung! Baby turns 30
Turning 30 is a big deal.
It's that transitional age, going from Innocence to Experience.
It is certainly not a smooth transition though. You still have more innocence that you'd like, and less experience than you think..!
I remember my 30th, where I had to go away and "dream it all up again" one way or another. Didn't you?
U2 did the same in their 30s, and ended up in Berlin, where...

The ALCS started in 1969, when the AL reorganized into two divisions, East and West. The winners of each division played each other in a best-of-five series to determine who would advance to the World Series. In 1985, the format changed to best-of-seven.
In 1981, a division series was held due to a split season caused by a players' strike.
In 1994, the league was restructured into three divisions, with the three division winners and a wild-card team advancing to a best-of-five postseason round, known as the American League Division Series (ALDS). The winners of that round then advanced to the best-of-seven ALCS. In 2012, the playoffs were expanded again so that two wild card teams face off in a one-game wild card round to determine which team advances to the division series, with the playoffs then continuing as it had before 2012 (though with the possibility of a fifth seed being in the playoffs and a fourth seed being out) after the end of the wild card round. This is the system currently in use.
The Milwaukee Brewers, an American League team between 1969 and 1997, and the Houston Astros, a National League team between 1962 and 2012, are the only franchises to play in both the ALCS and NLCS. The Astros are the only team to have won both an NLCS (2005) and an ALCS (2017). Every current American League franchise has appeared in the ALCS.

If you are a parent, you may have many concerns with respect to the safety of your teen. Or, you might be a young person who has never driven before, and you may be worried about the likelihood of an accident once you start to learn how to drive. Regardless, it is crucial to make sure that you are fully prepared for any potential risks and do what you can to reduce the likelihood of a collision occurring. Unfortunately, many young lives have been lost and many teens have been left with lifelong injuries due to motor vehicle collisions.
On behalf of Cranwell & Moore P.L.C., Attorneys at Law on Saturday, August 25, 2018.
When a person suffers injury as a result of negligence, an ensuing lawsuit generally has two major components: liability and damages. Before you can ask that the defendant compensate you for your losses, you will need to show that he or she acted negligently, thereby causing the injury.
How does speed affect the chances of a pedestrian being killed?
On behalf of Cranwell & Moore P.L.C., Attorneys at Law posted in Car Accidents on Friday, August 24, 2018.
For a pedestrian, there are a number of dangers which may be present on the road. Drunk drivers, those who go over the speed limit intentionally or accidentally and distracted drivers can all pose a serious threat to the safety of pedestrians. Moreover, when a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle that is much larger, they may be especially likely to lose their life or sustain a massive injury, in comparison to those who are involved in an accident while riding in a vehicle. Many factors can affect how likely a pedestrian is to be hurt or killed in an accident, such as the speed at which the vehicle that struck them was traveling.

A person's ability to drive properly may be adversely affected by a variety of factors, such as intoxication due to alcohol consumption or even prescription medication, fatigue, distractions and so on. However, some people may be unable to drive well because of poor eyesight. Worse, some drivers may not realize that their eyesight has deteriorated to a point which makes it unsafe to drive and they may continue to get behind the wheel.

For those who ride bicycles, the road can be especially dangerous. After all, in the event that a collision occurs involving a vehicle, with such little protection a bicyclist may be seriously hurt or killed. Helmet use and the use of other safety gear (such as reflective clothing) can be tremendously helpful. However, threats posed by reckless drivers, such as those who drive while under the influence, can lead to bicyclist fatalities regardless of the precautionary measures taken by a bicyclist. Moreover, certain times of day and riding at night can be particularly dangerous.

Every year, thousands of patients in the Vinton area and across the country receive cancer diagnoses. If you suspect you may have cancer or have recently learned it, you may not realize how important it is to get immediate and timely care. Though you must rely on medical professionals to provide a proper diagnosis, mistakes often occur during the process, leading to delays in treatment and recovery.
On behalf of Cranwell & Moore P.L.C., Attorneys at Law posted in Car Accidents on Friday, August 3, 2018.
Drivers have to keep an eye out for all sorts of hazards while they are behind the wheel, including traffic signs, other vehicles, patches of ice on the road and many other potential areas of concern. However, debris on the road can be especially concerning and has played a role in many motor vehicle collisions over the years. Furthermore, there are many different types of debris on roadways across the U.S. and this debris can cause an accident in different ways.


Treat yourself to a mini-vacation in your mind. Relax and unwind with a gentle mental voyage to a serene place. Let your cares and worries drift away … allow peace and healing to flow through you. Release your stress, replenish yourself, body and soul! Become centered and serene. Right NOW, for just these few moments, bask in the sacredness of "this moment", in which all is in Divine Order. All is well.
The first step in creative visualization is to learn how to relax and empty your mind. When you are relaxed, your mind starts working better, so learning how to relax opens you up to directly programming your subconscious mind. Join Karen on the call tonight for a creative visualization to help you relax and be empowered.
Have you felt that people "toy" with your emotions? It seems to have a negative connotation. What if we begin toying/playing with our own emotions in a healthy and compassionate way? Imagine being able to soar through emotions in a fluid and graceful way. Join Debbie on the call tonight and begin practicing a joyful dance with emotions. Laugh, cry, cha cha cha!
As we find ourselves caught up in our daily lives, the events of the community, country and the world, our own self-care can begin to slip away. This makes respite times together more essential than ever. Join Susan for a time of rest, connection, support and rejuvenation in the midst of full lives – individually and collectively. Open, Rest and Receive.
Join Susan on tonight's call as she explores the Heart Chakra… the life-center which draws life force energy (also known as Prana or Chi) to its center. It is in this place that the qualities of peace, love, unity and brotherhood reside. Tonight's meditation will explore the Heart Chakra and offer the opportunity to revitalize a love for life and an understanding of the oneness of all things.
What is 'Compassion' to you? What does it mean? Are you open to it or do you burnout? Do you spread your heart wide enough and dare to feel it or do you 'brace' against it? Join Vicki on tonight's call and discover what this beautiful word means in your life and how you can stay open to compassion… in a healthy way.
As we go through life, on any given day, it's inevitable that someone or something is going to push our buttons. Even if it's not a person, it can be a circumstance – something will seem to take away our peace. This meditation will help us to come to a state of peace with these individuals or scenarios, and also help us to come to an understanding as to why they show up for us.


Ho-musubi, also called Kagu-tsuchi, or Hi-no-kami, in the Shintō religion of Japan, a god of fire. His mother, the female creator Izanami, was fatally burned giving birth to him; and his father, Izanagi, cut him into pieces, creating several new gods.
The fire god is revered as a purificatory agent as much as out of fear for his destructiveness. During the hi-matsuri ("fire festivals") at the beginning of the new year, worshippers carry back to their home hearths torches lit from the new fire started by the temple priest. The traditional method of lighting a fire for religious purposes is with a fire drill. One of the most popular shrines dedicated to the fire god is on Mt. Atago, near Kyōto.


The awards are Australia's longest running and most prestigious Indigenous art award and will be held in Darwin this July.
Bernadette & Annabell's nomination marks the second year that Anindilyakwa Artists have been nominated for the prestigious award, with the late A. Lalara's work nominated back in 2009.
The entry is a unique collaboration that carries bush dyed textiles into a new digital medium. We can't wait to share it with you!
In the meantime, check out the full list of finalists here or plan your trip to the awards exhibition.

The Killers - Sam's Town: Album Review
The Killers, Sam's Town (Island, 2006)
This follow-up to the Killers' 2004 mega-smash Hot Fuss is said to have been influenced by the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. I thought the lead single "When You Were Young" was incredible, but I'm hearing mixed things about the album itself.
SAM'S TOWN
I like the epic, ridonkulous way this begins. The song itself though is nothing special, and some of the lyrics are pretty silly.
ENTERLUDE
A Sgt. Peppers-style intro. Really stupid.
WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG
The amazing lead single. They may have even managed to make it sound somewhat louder on the album version, which is telling.
BLING (CONFESSIONS OF A KING)
Awful, awful title. The song itself is not much either, but the chorus halfway saves. And there's some pretty interesting production flourishes.
FOR REASONS UNKNOWN
Really, really cliche. Opening line: "Pack my case, wash my face/ I look a little bit older." The chorus sounds pretty generic as well, which is obviously going to be an issue.
This one actually makes reference to "breaking out of this two-star town." Better than that last one though.
UNCLE JOHNNY
Chorus: "While everybody else refrained/ My uncle Johnny did cocaine." The album's first complete and utter abortion.
The second single. Supposedly, Tim Burton is doing the video for it. It somehow manages to be both poppier and even more ridonkulous than "When You Were Young." It's a pretty amazing feat, actually.
The first minute or so of this is nothing but a synthesizer drone. Then it builds up to a pretty ridonkulous (think "Piano Man") singalong.
Speaking of ridonkulous, I find myself playing this over and over just to chuckle at the way Brandon Flowers shouts, "This river is wild!"
WHY DO I KEEP COUNTING
The bombastic finale that ties it all together. Not that there's much here to tie together. It still manages to be pretty bombastic though.
EXITUDE
Like the "enterlude," but more melancholy.
BONUS TRACKS: What's the point of having bonus tracks on an album if they add absolutely no value to the album. They could've just as easily dipped my (admittedly free) copy in chode sweat. Nullus.
COMMENTS: I like what they're going for here, but the songwriting just isn't there. Even the singles, which I lurve, are pretty spotty. A lot of the rest of it's downright shitty. The Springsteen influence doesn't seem to extend very far beyond lyrical references to small town Americana. Otherwise, this is the first album, but a lot less catchy.
BEST TRACKS: "When You Were Young" "Bones" "This River Is Wild"

Samsung Electronics Opens Another AI Center in Montreal and Expands AI Research Presence in North America
Canada on October 19, 2018
The newly opened Samsung AI center in Montreal is the seventh AI research facility to open this year making it the fourth in North America alone
Samsung Electronics announced that it is establishing another artificial intelligence (AI) center in Montreal, the second biggest city in Canada and home to one of the world's fastest growing AI communities.
Today's announcement complements earlier news of multiple AI centers launched in North America and continues Samsung's efforts in AI that include the development of Samsung's virtual assistant, Bixby. The center is the fourth Samsung AI Center to be established in North America following the centers launched in Silicon Valley, New York and Toronto.
The opening of the AI center in Montreal will allow Samsung to expand its outpost for industry collaboration and talent recruitment in a major AI hub in Canada, dedicated to research and development of core AI technologies that entail machine learning, language, vision and other multi-modal interactions.
At the opening event, there were about 100 guests in attendance including Marc Garneau, Canada's Minister of Transportation; Philippe Tomlinson, mayor of Outremont and member of Montreal's Development Commission; Seunghwan Cho, Executive Vice President of Samsung Research; Geunbae Lee, Head of Samsung AI Center in Seoul and Larry Heck, Head of AI Centers for Samsung Research America.
"By leveraging the power of AI in Samsung's products and services, we must focus on creating new values, never seen nor experienced before," said Seunghwan Cho. "To do this, seven Global AI Centers, including the Montreal AI Center, will play a pivotal role."
During the event, Samsung presented its future vision for AI as it aims to develop a highly personalized multi-device platform that empowers people to accomplish more in their lives. By providing multiple touchpoints where a user can interact with AI, not only through voice, Samsung's multi-modal interaction platform (voice, vision, screen, touch) will make experiences more relevant and personal in the future.
"One key element that will move AI to being more widely adopted is multi-device systems—i.e., a variety of AI-enabled devices that communicate seamlessly with each other," said Dr. Heck. "Samsung is uniquely positioned to be a leader in this regard. It's not just how each device uses AI, it's how they use it together."
Key contributing factors for the location include the availability of key AI talent, including leading AI researchers at McGill University and the University of Montreal who have had longstanding relationships with Samsung. Greater Montreal has emerged as a powerhouse in AI research, housing 250 researchers and 9000 university students in related programs. Establishing an AI Center in Greater Montreal also enables Samsung to better collaborate with regional start-ups and expand the current ecosystem.
"This new research Center will help make artificial intelligence more accessible right here in Montreal. It will open the door for collaboration and grow opportunities for our universities and our businesses," said Minister Garneau.
The mayor of Montreal also celebrated the news. "Montreal is a vibrant and creative city with well-known academic institutions and some of the highest standards in quality of life allowing us to attract some of the best talents around the world. Samsung's AI Center reinforces Montreal's unique position and reputation as a global leader in the field of artificial intelligence. Their work with faculties, students, and the broader academic community highlights the city's international reach and the strengths of a business ecosystem that is firmly focused on collaboration, research and innovation," said Valérie Plante, Mayor of Montreal International.
Dr. Gregory Dudek, Head of the Montreal AI Center
Dr. Gregory Dudek, of the McGill University School of Computer Science and an expert in a wide range of AI technologies from machine learning to human-robot interactions, will lead the Montreal AI Center. "We are excited to open a new Samsung AI Center in Montreal, which will conduct research in machine learning and robotics enabled multi-modal interactions," said Dr. Dudek. "As the second AI research facility in Canada, we plan to research in tandem with the Toronto AI Center, established in May, and leverage the tremendous AI talent in Montreal. We are also looking forward to collaborating with the top universities and academic institutions in the region."
Earlier this year, Samsung has announced plans to expand its advanced AI research capabilities to 1,000 by 2020 when all Samsung products and services are expected to be AI enabled. The global AI Centers, which are also located in Korea, Russia, and the U.K, will contribute to Samsung's AI research with their unique regional strengths, and Samsung plans to expand its AI research centers to other technology and talent-rich areas.

Q: Elementary proof for the inequality I have conjectured the following inequality:

$x+y+z\leq\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}$ where $x,y,z\in \mathbb{R}$

I have tried to come up with an elementary proof but I failed miserably.
Can Anyone help me, please? Whether the conjecture is true or not?

A: Expanding on the comment, the conjecture suggested by the OP does not hold. However, for any three real number $x,y,z$, we have:
$$x+y+z\leq \sqrt{3(x^2+y^2+z^2)}$$
It can be proved using Cauchy-Schwarz:
$$(1^2+1^2+1^2)(x^2+y^2+z^2)\geq (x+y+z)^2$$
and thus:
$$\sqrt{3(x^2+y^2+z^2)}\geq |x+y+z| \geq x+y+z$$

A: I think the following reasoning is elementary enough.
If $x+y+z<0$ so our inequality is true.
But for $x+y+z\geq0$ it's enough to prove that
$$3(x^2+y^2+z^2)\geq(x+y+z)^2$$ or
$$\sum_{cyc}(2x^2-2xy)\geq0$$ or
$$\sum_{cyc}(x^2-2xy+y^2)\geq0$$ or
$$\sum_{cyc}(x-y)^2\geq0,$$ which is obvious.

Aawww, poor kitty cat......I hope he's ok, but in the meantime I'm going to watch that again, cause it was pretty damn funny, poor ol' putty tat!!
If you mail it to me I will be your friend and make you 3 different kinds of cake.

poor kitty wants to drink! duh!
Sharpshoter? Do you mean "Sharpshooter"?
how much did the kitty drink?!?!?!
My cat does that even when she is "normal"
Lol, my father is vet (animal doctor) and this is absolutely normal behaving when some animal is weaking up after anaesthesia.
The difference between a cat in surgery and a human being being operated at is that they don't allow you to walk around just three seconds after you woke up from the anesthetists.. Well, at least in most western countries they don't let you walk around right after..
But I do find it amusing how many viewers just doesn't bother reading the description, soomeone should make a study and publish it or something..
Poor kitty, but it is kinda funny....and the cats cute too.
