Today I write with sad news…. my novel will not be complete as I had hoped by October. You see, this being the first long piece I have ever written I underestimated the amount of work i would need to put into it. That's not to say I am not having a great time with it, but only to say that I want it to be the best it can be. I am extending the publication date to 2011. I feel it needs more work and I believe you will be so happy with the results.
I want to thank you for your patience and understanding.

Q: MONTH NUMBER (MONTH BETWEEN 1AND 12), I am trying to create a table in Access using SQL:
CREATE TABLE STATS
(ID NUMBER  REFERENCES STATION(ID),
MONTH NUMBER (MONTH BETWEEN 1AND 12),
TEMP_F NUMBER (TEMP_F BETWEEN -80 AND 150),
RAIN_I NUMBER (RAIN_I BETWEEN 0 AND 100),
PRIMARY KEY (ID, MONTH));

Everytime I run the query it gives me 'Syntax error in CREATE TABLE statement'. I tried some troubleshooting but no luck.

A: This statement creates a table with 3 fields:
CREATE TABLE STATS (
    ID LONG REFERENCES STATION(ID),
    [MONTH] SHORT,
    TEMP_F DOUBLE,
    CONSTRAINT pkey PRIMARY KEY (ID, [MONTH]),
    CONSTRAINT valid_month CHECK ([MONTH] BETWEEN 1 AND 12),
    CONSTRAINT valid_TEMP_F CHECK (TEMP_F BETWEEN -80 AND 150)
    );

Notes:

*

*The ID field in my STATION table is AutoNumber datatype, so I chose long integer for the datatype of STATS.ID.

*MONTH is a reserved word.  I enclosed that name in square brackets so Access will not mistake it for the Month() function.  But it would be better to choose a field name which is not a reserved word.

*I used CHECK constraints to limit the values [MONTH] and TEMP_F will accept.  But that means the statement must be executed from ADO because Access DDL statements executed from DAO can not support CHECK constraints.  (Note a query run from the query designer uses DAO.)  I used a string variable to hold the statement and then executed it from CurrentProject.Connection (which is an ADO object) like this ...

Dim strCreate As String
strCreate = "CREATE TABLE STATS (" & vbCrLf & _
    "ID LONG REFERENCES STATION(ID)," & vbCrLf & _
    "[MONTH] SHORT," & vbCrLf & _
    "TEMP_F DOUBLE," & vbCrLf & _
    "CONSTRAINT pkey PRIMARY KEY (ID, [MONTH])," & vbCrLf & _
    "CONSTRAINT valid_month CHECK ([MONTH] BETWEEN 1 AND 12)," & vbCrLf & _
    "CONSTRAINT valid_TEMP_F CHECK (TEMP_F BETWEEN -80 AND 150)" & vbCrLf & _
    ");"
Debug.Print strCreate
CurrentProject.Connection.Execute strCreate

You can extend this example by including your RAIN_I field, and adding a CHECK constraint for it.

A: Create table STATS (
    ID number,
    MONTH number,
    TEMP_F number,
   RAIN_I number,
    constraint valid_MONTH check (MONTH between 1 and 12),
    constraint valid_TEMP_F check (TEMP_F between -80 and 150),
    constraint valid_RAIN_I check (RAIN_I between 1 and 100)
    );

Confucius and Confucianism
Confucius was a Chinese philosopher who was born in 551 B.C. Confucianism, a religion of optimistic humanism, has had a monumental impact upon the life, social structure, and political philosophy of China. The founding of the religion goes back to one man, known as Confucius, born 500 years before Christ. Confucianism deals primarily with moral conduct and ethical living and is often categorized as an ethical system, rather than a religion. It emphasizes the earthly, not the heavenly.

"It is not allowed to affirm that Confucius was saved"
Confucius was a Chinese philosopher who was born in 551 B.C. Confucius is a corruption of the name K'ung Fu-tzu. Although K'ung Fu-tzu was the philosopher's correct name, he has historically been referred to as Confucius in Western countries. Confucius is to the Chinese culture and history what Socrates is to the Western culture and history. Both philosophers lived before A.D.
Confucius (551-478 B.C.) is the romanised form of the Chinese name Kong Fuzi (Chinese: 孔夫子; Hanyu pinyin: Kòng Fūzǐ; Wade-Giles: K'ung-fu-tzu). He was a Chinese thinker and social philosopher born in Lu (modern day Shandong province). Confucius is to the Chinese culture and history what Socrates is to the Western culture and history. Both philosophers lived before A.D.
His parents, while not wealthy, belonged to the superior class. His father was a warrior, distinguished no less for his deeds of valor than for his noble ancestry. Confucius was a mere boy when his father died. From childhood he showed a great aptitude for study, and though, in order to support himself and his mother, he had to labor in his early years as a hired servant in a noble family, he managed to find time to pursue his favorite studies. He made such progress that at the age of twenty-two years he opened a school to which many were attracted by the fame of his learning. His ability and faithful service merited for him promotion to the office of minister of justice. Under his wise administration the State attained to a degree of prosperity and moral order that it had never seen before. But through the intrigues of rival states the Marquis of Lu was led to prefer ignoble pleasures to the preservation of good government. Confucius tried by sound advice to bring his liege lord back to the path of duty, but in vain. He thereupon resigned his high position at the cost of personal ease and comfort, and left the state. For thirteen years, accompanied by faithful disciples, he went about from one state to another, seeking a ruler who would give heed to his counsels. Many were the privations he suffered. More than once he ran imminent risk of being waylaid and killed by his enemies, but his courage and confidence in the providential character of his mission never deserted him. At last he returned to Lu, where he spent the last five years of his long life encouraging others to the study and practice of virtue, and edifying all by his noble example. He died in the year 478 B.C., in the seventy-fourth year of his age. His lifetime almost exactly coincided with that of Buddha, who died two years earlier at the age of eighty.
Confucius is best known for formulating a code of ethics and ritual based upon the venerated ancient Golden Civilizations of China. His real name was Kong Fu Zi (the "Zi" character meaning "little one," or "master"), the romanization of his name occurred when the first Christian evangelicals came to China and took a liking to his teachings, and transferred them back to the West. His disciples wrote down his teachings in a book called the Analects, which focus on man's duties to obey a universal natural law through ritual behavior. Moderation in conduct, or "Li", was emphasized, and filial piety (respecting the older members of one's family) was the goal. Age itself is greatly honored in Chinese culture, and the elderly were taught to be venerated. He emphasized rational analysis with a touch of flexibility. He is quoted to say,
"I for my part am not one of those who have innate knowledge. I am simply one who loves the past and who is diligent in investigating it."
The religion of Confucianism derives its name from Confucius, and is based on his writings. These writings were intended to be advice for the rulers of China in the sixth century B.C., and were later studied by the followers of Confucius. In addition, his followers brought in ideas originating in Buddhism and Taoism, as Confucianism spread from China to other Asian countries, including Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.
One idea emphasized by Confucius was "beautiful conduct." He thought that if everyone in a society could achieve "beautiful conduct," or what he considered correct behavior, society could become perfect. This involved avoiding all extreme actions and emotions, being considerate to others, respecting family and the elderly.
A modern Chinese scholar suggested that the core of Confucian philosophy is contained in these words:
The men of old, when they wished their virtues to shine throughout the land, first had to govern their states well. To govern their states well, they first had to establish harmony in their families. To establish harmony in their families, they first had to discipline themselves. To discipline themselves, they first had to set their minds in order. To set their minds in order, they first had to make their purpose sincere. To make their purpose sincere, they first had to extend their knowledge to the utmost. Such knowledge is acquired through a careful investigation of things. For with things investigated knowledge becomes complete. With knowledge complete the purpose becomes sincere. With the purpose sincere the mind is set in order. With the mind set in order there is real self discipline. With real self discipline the family achieves harmony. With harmony in the family the state becomes well governed. With the state well governed there is peace throughout the land.
Confucius may not have considered himself to have founded a religion. He was a philosopher, not a prophet, and did not emphasize spirituality, but instead certain behaviors and being a good citizen. He believed that five relationships formed the basis of a stable, happy society. These five relationships include those between ruler and subject, older brother and younger brother, father and son, husband and wife, and the relationship between two friends.
After his death, Confucius' grandson and disciples continued spreading his philosophies. Confucius is considered a great teacher, rather than a prophet or god. He is well-known for his sayings, such as "What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others," and "Respect yourself and others will respect you." Rituals which strengthen the five relationships are important to followers of his teachings.
Confucius died in 479 B.C. His hometown of Qufu became well-known after his death, and is now visited by many tourists, as well as Chinese citizens wishing to visit the nearby temples and Confucius' grave. It is unclear whether Confucius would have approved of the many temples dedicated to him, or if he would have wished for his followers to continue with his teaching, and not make him the object of veneration.
What is Confucianism?
Confucianism, the philosophical system founded on the teaching of Confucius (551 - 479 BC), dominated Chinese sociopolitical life for most of Chinese history and largely influenced the cultures of Korea, Japan, and Indochina. The Confucian school functioned as a recruiting ground for government positions, which were filled by those scoring highest on examinations in the Confucian classics. It also blended with popular and imported religions and became the vehicle for articulating Chinese mores to the peasants. The school's doctrines supported political authority using the theory of the mandate of heaven. It sought to help the rulers maintain domestic order, preserve tradition, and maintain a constant standard of living for the taxpaying peasants. It trained its adherents in benevolence, traditional rituals, filial piety, loyalty, respect for superiors and for the aged, and principled flexibility in advising rulers.
Confucianism is a set of ethical beliefs, sometimes called a religion, that were developed from the teachings of the scholar Confucius, who lived in the 6th century B.C. in China. His theories and philosophy gave rise to laws based on his teachings first in China, and then later in Japan, Korea and Vietnam. All who studied and practiced Confucianism aimed at harmonious relationships that would result in greater peace in their countries. Elements of Confucianism, though it is no longer widely practiced, persist in many Asian cultures.
Like many of the great philosophers and religious leaders, Confucius did not keep records of his own words and deeds. Instead, the texts that make up Confucianism are recordings from his students, and their students. This is a bit complicated because many texts recording Confucian thought were burned during the Qin Dynasty. Dissenters of Confucianism were authorized to burn all materials in reference to it. Thus the records of Confucian thought are fragmented and sometimes contradict themselves or require explanation that is not given.
Nevertheless, during the Han Dynasty, which lasted until about 220 A.D., Confucian thought was the inspiration for establishing the rules and laws of China. After the Han fell, Confucian thought was widely discarded in favor of Buddhism, but enjoyed a rebirth again in the 7th century. At that time, scholars blended ideas of Buddhism, Daoism and Confucian thought in order to create laws and emphasize the way right relationships can establish peace.
The principal concepts in Confucianism were primarily meant to apply to rulers, nobility and scholars. Confucianism doesn't aim toward the general populace, as does Buddhism. The beginning of Confucianism is the idea that people must be virtuous, especially rulers. Self-virtue, expressed in modesty, truthfulness, loyalty, charity, and learning were essential requirements for all. The sum total of this social virtue is often referred to as the "Jen". They thought it was impossible to expect virtue and good living in most of the people governed, if the governors (or emperors) did not display the highest virtues, and did not promote the education of others to obtain these virtues.
The Golden Rule arises in Confucianism: "What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others." Emphasis is placed on virtuous relationship with others and acting "right" with all. Through virtuous behavior and observance of right relationships, harmony is established in the self and in the kingdom.
Confucianism does include the concept of the divine and is expressed. Importance is placed on adherence to the traditional ways of doing things. He discussed at length the five important relationships. These are husband and wife, parent and child, elder and younger siblings or all younger people's relationship to elders, Ruler and Subject, and friend and friend.
Of these, one of the most important relationships is still emphasized today in modern China, Japan and Korea. The relationship between parent/child is also called filial piety, the idea that children, even adult ones, must respect and obey their parents, and in general, their elders. This relationship is maintained in many households in Asian countries. Word of the parents is the law of the children when this relationship remains harmonious. Care of the parents as they age is another aspect of filial piety.
There is consensus among scholars that, whether or not it is religious, Confucianism is definitively non-theistic. Confucianism is humanistic, and does not involve a belief in the supernatural or in a personal god.
The doctrines of Confucianism center upon:
Ancestor worship – veneration of the deceased ancestors whose spirits are believed to control the fortunes of the descendants.
Filial piety – devotion and obedience to and reverence of the elders of the family by the younger members.
Confucianism's primary principles are:
Jen – the golden rule
Chun-tai – the gentlemanly man of virtue
Cheng-ming – the proper playing of society's roles
Te – the power of virtue
Li – ideal standards of conduct
Wen – the peaceful arts (music, poetry, etc.)
In Confucianism there is much to admire. It has taught a noble conception of the supreme Heaven-god. It has inculcated a remarkably high standard of morality. It has prompted, as far as it knew how, the refining influence of literary education and of polite conduct. The ethical system of Confucianism has much to commend it because virtue is always something highly desirable, both in an individual and a society. But it stands today encumbered with the serious defects that characterize the imperfect civilization of its early development. The association of T'ien with innumerable nature-spirits, spirits of sun, moon, and stars, of hills and fields and rivers, the superstitious use of divination by means of stalks and tortoise shells, and the crude notion that the higher spirits, together with the souls of the dead, are regaled by splendid banquets and food-offerings in Confucianism, cannot stand the test of intelligent modern criticism. Nor can a religion answer fully to the religious needs of the heart which withdraws from the active participation of the people the solemn worship of the deity, which has little use of prayer, which recognizes no such thing as grace, which has no definite teaching in regard to the future life. As a social system it has lifted the Chinese to an intermediate grade of culture, but has blocked for ages all further progress. In its rigid insistence on rites and customs that tend to perpetuate the patriarchal system with its attendant evils of polygamy and divorce, of excessive seclusion and repression of women, of an undue hampering of individual freedom, Confucianism stands in painful contrast with progressive Christian civilization.
2 Corinthians 4:3: "And if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost, in whom the god of this world [Satan] hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine unto them."
All the people who die in cultures which have never been penetrated by the Gospel go to Hell for sins against the natural law and the other grave sins which they commit – which bad will and failure to cooperate with God's grace is the reason He does not reveal the Gospel to them.
God defined infallibly, based on Romans 1, that the one true God can be known with certitude by the things which have been made, and by the natural light of human reason.
Romans 1:18-20: "For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice: Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it to them. For the invisible things of him, from the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; his eternal power also, and divinity: so that they are inexcusable."
Although Confucius may have been a believer in Chinese folk religion and expressed belief in a supreme Heaven-god, Confucianism as an ideology is humanistic and non-theistic, and does not involve a belief in the supernatural or in a personal god. They are, as St. Paul says in verse 20, without excuse. St. Augustine explains this well in reference to persons who died ignorant of the Faith and without baptism.
St. Augustine (+428): "… God foreknew that if they had lived and the gospel had been preached to them, they would have heard it without belief."
Everyone can know with certainty that there is a supreme spiritual being, Who is the One True God and the Creator of the world and all that it contains. There is no one who cannot understand and believe that God exists, if he considers how the earth bears fruit and how the heavens give rain, how the trees bloom, how each and every animal exists in its own kind, how the stars serve man, and how troubles and sorrows come and often happen against the will of man. From all these things, man can see that he is mortal and that it is God who arranges and directs all these things. For if God did not exist, everything would be disorganized. Thus, all things are of God, and everything is rationally arranged for the use and knowledge of mankind. And there is not the least little thing that is created or exists in the world without reasonable cause. (cf. St. Bridget's Revelations, Book 1, chapter 15)
Everyone knows that God is not something that they have carved out of wood or jade or stone. They know that God is not the tree that they worship or the river they worship or the rock or the snake or the sacred tree frog or nature spirits. They know that these things aren't the Creator of the universe. Every such person knows that he is worshipping a creature rather than the Creator.
If a man cannot understand or comprehend God's virtues and powers as they are because of his weakness, he can still see them with faith and believe. But if people in the world do not want to use their reason to consider God's power, they can still use their hands to touch and sense the deeds that Jesus Christ and His saints have done. They are namely so obvious that no one can doubt them to be the deeds of God. Who raised the dead and gave sight to the blind if not God? Who cast out the evil devils from men if not God? What have God taught if not things beneficial for the prosperity of soul and body and easy to bear? (cf. St. Bridget's Revelations, Book 1, chapter 15)
If there were truly people of sincere and of good will who had not yet attained the faith, then God would send a preacher (even miraculously, if necessary) to bring the Catholic Faith and baptism to him.
St. Thomas Aquinas, Sent. III, 25, Q. 2, A. 2, solute. 2: "If a man should have no one to instruct him, God will show him, unless he culpably wishes to remain where he is."
St. Thomas Aquinas, Sent. II, 28, Q. 1, A. 4, ad 4: "If a man born among barbarian nations, does what he can, God Himself will show him what is necessary for salvation, either by inspiration or sending a teacher to him."
St. Thomas Aquinas, De Veritate, 14, A. 11, ad 1: Objection: "It is possible that someone may be brought up in the forest, or among wolves; such a man cannot explicitly know anything about the faith. St. Thomas replies: It is the characteristic of Divine Providence to provide every man with what is necessary for salvation… provided on his part there is no hindrance. In the case of a man who seeks good and shuns evil, by the leading of natural reason, God would either reveal to him through internal inspiration what had to be believed, or would send some preacher of the faith to him…"
"It is in accord with God's justice that entry into heaven must be gained through steadfast faith, rational hope, and fervent love. A person ponders more frequently and adores more lovingly that which the heart loves more and loves with greater fervor. So it is with the gods that are placed in temples - though they are not gods nor creators, since there is but one sole creator, I myself, God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But the owners of temples and people in general love the gods more than they love me, seeking to achieve worldly success rather than to live with me.
"If I were to destroy the things that people love more than me, and make the people adore me against their will, then I would certainly do them an injustice by taking away their free will and desire from them. Since they have no faith in me, and there is in their hearts something more delightful than me, I reasonably permit them to produce externally what they love and long for in their minds. Because they love creation more than me, the Creator, whom they can know by probable signs and deeds, if only they would make use of their reason, and because they are blind, accursed is their creation and accursed are their idols. They themselves shall stand in shame and be sentenced for their folly, because they refuse to understand how sweet I am, their God, who created and redeemed humankind out of fervent love." (St. Bridget's Revelations, Book 5 or The Book of Questions, Interrogation 8)
"A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions."
"Ability will never catch up with the demand for it."
"An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger."
"Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without."
"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest."
"Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire."
"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."
"Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage."
"Go before the people with your example, and be laborious in their affairs."
"He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it."
"He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger."
"He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good."
"Heaven means to be one with God."
"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."
"I hear, I know. I see, I remember. I do, I understand."
"I want you to be everything that's you, deep at the center of your being."
"I will not be concerned at other men's not knowing me; I will be concerned at my own want of ability."
"If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher. I will pick out the good points of the one and imitate them, and the bad points of the other and correct them in myself."
That Confucius possessed a noble, commanding personality, there can be little doubt. It is shown by his recorded traits of character, by his lofty moral teachings, by the high-minded men that he trained to continue his life-work. In their enthusiastic love and admiration, they declared him the "greatest of men", the "sage without flaw", the "perfect man". That he himself did not make any pretension to possess virtue and wisdom in their fullness is shown by his own recorded sayings. He was conscious of his shortcomings, and this consciousness he made no attempt to keep concealed. But of his love of virtue and wisdom there can be no question. He is described in "Analects", VII, 18, as one "who in the eager pursuit of knowledge, forgot his food, and in the joy of attaining to it forgot his sorrow". Whatever in the traditional records of the past, whether history, lyric poems, or rites and ceremonies, was edifying and conducive to virtue, he sought out with untiring zeal and made known to his disciples. He was a man of affectionate nature, sympathetic, and most considerate towards others. He loved his worthy disciples dearly, and won in turn their undying devotion. He was modest and unaffected in his bearing, inclined to gravity, yet possessing a natural cheerfulness that rarely deserted him. Schooled to adversity from childhood, he learned to find contentment and serenity of mind even where ordinary comforts were lacking. He was very fond of vocal and instrumental music, and often sang, accompanying his voice with the lute.
Confucius is often held up as the type of the virtuous man without religion. His teachings, it is alleged, were chiefly ethical, in which one looks in vain for retribution in the next life as a sanction of right conduct. Now an acquaintance with the ancient religion of China and with Confucian texts reveals the emptiness of the assertion that Confucius was devoid of religious thought and feeling. He was religious after the manner of religious men of his age and land. In not appealing to rewards and punishments in the life to come, he was simply following the example of his illustrious Chinese predecessors, whose religious belief did not include this element of future retribution. The Chinese classics that were ancient even in the time of Confucius have nothing to say of hell, but have much to say of the rewards and punishments meted out in the present life by the all-seeing Heaven. There are numbers of texts that show plainly that he did not depart from the traditional belief in the supreme Heaven-god and subordinate spirits, in Divine providence and retribution, and in the conscious existence of souls after death. These religious convictions on his part found expression in many recorded acts of piety and worship.
"It is not allowed to affirm that Confucius was saved."
The Syllabus of Errors came after both Singulari quadam and Quanto conficiamur moerore:
Condemned Error or Statement: "Good hope at least is to be entertained of the eternal salvation of all those who are not at all in the true Church of Christ." —Encyclical "Quanto conficiamur," Aug. 10, 1863, etc.
In fact, the Sacred Congregation of the Propagation of the Faith, under Blessed Pius X, in 1907, in answer to a question as to whether Confucius could have been saved, wrote:
"It is not allowed to affirm that Confucius was saved. Christians, when interrogated, must answer that those who die as infidels are damned."
We must believe that all non-Catholics are damned and work under that truth for the salvation of their souls. Of course, if there were truly people of sincere and of good will who had not yet attained the faith, then God would send a preacher (even miraculously, if necessary) to bring the Catholic Faith and baptism to him. As Pope Pius IX said in Singulari quadam:
"It is wrong to push our inquiries further than this."

There's a fine line between "overwhelmed" and "empowered".
I straddled that line at our school district's second annual "Professional Learning Conference" this week. Eanes ISD does a FANTASTIC job of inviting world-renowned educators to work with our entire district faculty. A detailed schedule of workshop choices, with session resources neatly packaged in an iTunes U course (not to mention food trucks parked outside serving local goods for lunch) really set the stage for the new school year.
1) Formative Assessment is the answer.
Dylan Wiliam emphasized the importance of teachers creating a culture of continuous improvement (saying that these two-day conferences don't work, ha!). Want to have an impact? Work in Professional Learning Communities (we have PLCs every school day). Focus on classroom formative assessment and teachers changing their assessment practices, yet customizing and choosing techniques that resonate with each of us and our own students.
To take Wiliam's work further… we have iPads with fantastic tools that can effectively and efficiently assess student thinking! WE CAN DO THIS… and WE ARE DOING THIS! I found Dylan Wiliam's message to be an affirming pat-on-the-head AND push to be better.
2) It's unwise to over-grade student work.
Carol Ann Tomlinson's words here can't be taken out of context. She stressed the importance of grading too! Our grades should be based on specific learning targets, should be criterion-based (versus in competition… I sure hope no one grades on a curve…) and must be free of what Carol Ann calls "grade fog". That means… no extra credit, no grading homework, and grading student work LATER in the learning cycle rather than EARLIER. (THINK – growth mindset) This tweet quantifies Tomlinson's claim to stop grading everything that kids do. LIBERATING and AFFIRMING, again, in light of the fantastic tools we have on our iPads.
3) Core learning goes up when the arts are integrated.
Dr. Frank Locker and Dr. Kevin Washburn reinforced each other in my mind. Dr. Locker shared amazing 21st Century learning spaces, and resources to see how other schools are using project-based learning in these spaces. We need to help our students with oral communication skills, working in groups, and using technology. Locker suggested that we apply Gardner's work to vary our instructional practices, and consider integrating the arts… yes, even in math class! Later in the day, Dr. Washburn walked us through the Core Processes of Learning (experience, comprehension, elaboration, application). Washburn shared that "application" is brain-friendly when Garder's work allows students to reprocess presented information by writing a theme song, for example. Students need to be engaged in explaining the connections. It's not the other creative FORM that we're after here… it's the thinking and the process to create that form that is going to construct new learning! For me personally, Locker and Washburn affirmed WHY using the creative tools on iPad contribute so well to student learning, while potentially bringing the arts to core subjects along the way.
THIS is why I want to use Book Creator more effectively.
THIS is why I want students to create more ThingLinks and videos.
THIS is why involving students in creating content matters so much.
There are my top three a-ha moments. I am not doing them justice, but I hope at the very least that IF YOU ARE STILL READING… you will pick an idea here to further research and employ in your own practice.

I like your take on using art with the core. We often take away or forget that art is a viable and fun method for concreting and expanding ideas that we want students to learn and remember. Art can make it more relevant and practical for the students. It gives them another way to personalize their learning.


on corporate financing activities. We confirm and expand earlier results that value/growth and external financing indicators are, to some degree, related predictors of stock returns in the cross section. We show that external financing indicators are incrementally informative since they pick up stock returns associated with earnings quality. Portfolios that combine information from both these indicators generate significantly higher returns than portfolios containing each individual indicator. More importantly, our analysis strongly suggests that the external financing anomaly is, to some extent, distinct from the value/growth anomaly, in that it may also reflect investors' misunderstanding of the effects of opportunistic earnings management.

Tea - In order to maintain quality and retain the brand equity of Indian teas, the Government has issued a new Tea (Distribution and Export) Control Order, 2005 which prescribes strict norms for tea. All teas, whether imported or exported would be required to conform to the specifications cited in the new Order. Tea has been classified for the purpose of issue of non-preferential Certificate of Origin into three categories:
Tea wholly produced or obtained in India will only be classified as " India tea."
Where the Indian tea content in the export is not less than 90% by weight, it will be classified as " India tea (not less than 90% by weight of tea)".
In case of tea not wholly produced or obtained in India and where the content of Indian tea is less than 90% by weight, it will be classified as "Blended tea of different origin and packed in India ".
The new Order also prescribes a minimum value addition norm of 50% on export of all imported tea and stipulates a time period of 6 months from the date of import for the export of imported tea.

Gifts of Love from Above
MEET THE FOUNDER :
Kim Anderson is the founder of Gifts of Love from Above(GOLFA). Kim is responsible for the vision, strategy and fundraising efforts for GOLFA as it expands across the country.
"Gifts of Love from Above is my hearts passion for the children whose parent or guardian was killed by senseless gun violence and who don't understand the grief they may feel"
Kim has always enjoyed charitable work and had a drive and dedication for the causes for which she supported. This passion and dedication took a different turn when in 2011 her passion to help others had now hit close to home. Kim has always had a heart to give to others but never thought that losing one of the most important person in her life would launch her into action. She will now give back in a different way.
On Oct 3, 2011 her family's lives were shattered when the youngest of seven children was shot and killed. The part that broke her heart even more were the children her brother left behind along with his first unborn grandchild that he would never have the chance to meet. My brother Marcus was a loving father , brother, son and friend and his loss was a major impact to those he loved and who truly loved him.
Outside of doing volunteer work for the community through other local organizations, senseless gun violence and their victims was never something that connected to her. After the death of her brother she was now driven to a different kind of cause, one that was closer to her heart. Kim volunteers her time as a mentor to children who grieve the death of a parent and/or family member as a grief facilitator at a local bereavement center. Kim even works closely with a grassroots organization to help end senseless gun violence in our communities.
It is the hope of the GOLFA organization to remember the innocence of the children who are left behind to cope with the death of a parent. Through the development of outreach programs like GOLFA Grief Care Center ( in development) and referral services for Grief Counseling the organization also uses funds raised to provide grants to help with unexpected funeral cost.
"No child should have to be impacted this way and it is GOLFA's vision to bring a smile back to a grieving child".
--Founder/Director Kim Anderson--

If every business could peer into the future to see how they will perform, there wouldn't be a need for historical data and performance benchmarking. Unfortunately, nobody has a crystal ball, so it becomes necessary for business owners to plan for the future. By making educated guesses with valuable information gleaned from the past, companies can establish the path they will take to growth and profitability.
Accounting professionals are great at producing accurate historical financial performance information. The value in this historical data is only partially found in the periodic reports and financial statements generated. The primary value, the insight delivered from this historical data, is the information it reveals about the business operation over time. It is from this historical data that certain trends are identified, providing a basis for making the educated guesses necessary to learn how the business will look in the future.
Forecasting is very important for businesses, as it provides the framework for laying out your expectations for the business. In essence, it is a way to (hopefully) predict what your business finances will look like in the future based on forecasted growth. And, armed with the forecast, you can now more confidently build a reasonable plan to reach your stated business goals. While there are myriad approaches to creating a business forecast, it makes sense to simplify the process and focus on the area you likely spend most of your time attending to: sales. Use your sales goals and projections as the basis for establishing a forecast, setting realistic goals for the current year and for a few years after that. Once you've forecast the new sales goals, you can more easily appreciate what it will take in personnel and other costs to support that growth.
Recognizing that the forecast is simply an educated guess, it is important to regularly compare actual performance to the forecast to see if the business is on the right path to reach the established goal. If sales are not growing as projected, then the business may need to make adjustments in terms of personnel hiring and other plans to ensure that costs don't outpace sales. Without a path to follow, business owners will not necessarily know if the operation is "on track", as there is no track to be on – there is nothing to measure success against. Certainly, profitability is the goal, but it is a matter of degrees of success, and the business will not know whether it is being as successful and profitable as it might be.
Accounting professionals should help their clients create realistic forecasts, along with organizing the information and formulating a plan for the business owner to follow. On an ongoing basis, the accounting professional's involvement delivers continued value by helping the business owner recognize and respond to changes in the business, adjusting plans as necessary to keep the business on the right path. And, no crystal ball is required.


The 1998 North Indian Ocean cyclone season was an active season in annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. The season has no official bounds but cyclones tend to form between April and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northern Indian Ocean. There are two main seas in the North Indian Ocean—the Bay of Bengal to the east of the Indian subcontinent and the Arabian Sea to the west of India. The official Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre in this basin is the India Meteorological Department (IMD), while the Joint Typhoon Warning Center releases unofficial advisories. An average of four to six storms form in the North Indian Ocean every season with peaks in May and November. Cyclones occurring between the meridians 45°E and 100°E are included in the season by the IMD.
With eleven depressions and eight tropical cyclones, this was one of the most active seasons in the ocean along with 1987, 1996, and 2005. The season caused a large loss of life, most of which was from one storm. Over 10,000 people were killed in India when Tropical Cyclone 03A brought a 4.9-metre (16 ft) storm surge to the Kathiawar Peninsula, inundating numerous salt mines. Total damages from the storm amounted to Rs. 120 billion (US$3 billion). Tropical Cyclone 01B killed at least 26 people and left at least 4,000 fishermen missing in eastern Bangladesh on May 20. A short lived depression in mid-October killed 122 people after triggering severe flooding in Andhra Pradesh. In November, Tropical Cyclone 06B killed six people and caused property damage worth BTN 880 million (US$20.7 million) in eastern India. An additional 40 people were killed and 100 fishermen were listed as missing after Tropical Cyclone 07B affected Bangladesh.
The first storm of the season developed on May 18 out of an area of low pressure over the Bay of Bengal. It reached its peak intensity with winds of 130 km/h (70 mph) before making landfall near Chittagong, Bangladesh. The storm dissipated shortly after. Later that month, a short-lived storm developed over the Arabian Sea and dissipated the next day without impacting land. The most intense storm of the season formed in early June off the southwestern coast of India. It slowly traveled towards the west, remaining relatively weak before turning towards the north and intensifying. The storm reached its peak intensity with winds of 195 km/h (120 mph) shortly before making landfall near Porbandar in the Indian state of Gujarat. The cyclone rapidly dissipated on the same day.
After three months of inactivity, five storms developed in late September and October. Two of them strengthened into tropical storms, neither of which impacted land. In early November, the sixth tropical cyclone of the season developed in the Bay of Bengal. The storm quickly developed and reached its peak intensity upon landfall with winds of 155 km/h (100 mph). The storm rapidly dissipated the same day it made landfall. Shortly after 06B dissipated, the remnants of Tropical Storm Chip triggered the development of a new cyclone over the Bay of Bengal. The storm tracked along the edge of a subtropical ridge, reaching its peak intensity over open waters with winds of 140 km/h (80 mph). The cyclone entered an area of higher wind shear shortly after and rapidly weakened before making landfall. Then it dissipated in Bangladesh. The final cyclone of the season developed in the Arabian Sea during mid-December. It reached its peak intensity with winds of 120 km/h (75 mph) before weakening due to strong wind shear. It made landfall in Oman on December 17 as a minimal tropical storm shortly before dissipating.
The first cyclone in the region developed as a tropical disturbance on May 13 over the southern Bay of Bengal to the southeast of Sri Lanka. With little development, the disturbance initially traveled towards the north-northeast before turning west. On May 16, the system slowed down near the southeastern coast of India and began to turn towards the northeast once more. At 0700 UTC on May 17, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA). Shortly after, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) declared that the disturbance developed into Depression BOB 01. A second TCFA was issued later that day as a new circulation associated with the system developed further towards the northeast. At 0600 UTC on May 18, the first advisory on Tropical Cyclone 01B was issued by the JTWC. At the time of the advisory, winds were estimated at 55 km/h (35 mph). The IMD also upgraded BOB 01 to a deep depression at this time.
Continuing on a northeasterly track, BOB 01 gradually intensified as it neared Bangladesh. About 12 hours after being designated a cyclone, it strengthened to the equivalent of a tropical storm. The winds had reached 65 km/h (40 mph). At that time, it was located 555 km (345 mi) south-southeast of Chittagong. Early on May 20, BOB 01 reached its peak intensity as a severe cyclonic storm with winds of 110 km/h (70 mph) and a barometric pressure of 972 mbar (hPa). The JTWC assessed the storm to have peaked with winds of 130 km/h (80 mph), equivalent to a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale. An eye developed and the system made landfall several hours later near Chittagong. After making landfall, the storm quickly weakened, dissipating later that day.
Ahead of the storm, officials in Bangladesh relocated an estimated 650,000 people, resulting in a lower loss of life. But BOB 01 adversely affected low-lying areas, destroying 6,000 homes and damaging another 9,945. It produced a storm surge of 1.8 to 3 m (6 to 10 ft), inundating coastal towns. A total of 1,876 hectares (4,635 acres) of salt fields and 25 hectares (61 acres) of shrimp farms were damaged. At least 35 people were killed by the storm and 504 others were injured. Five of the fatalities occurred in Chittagong and another five on an island in the Cox's Bazar District. Sixteen more of the fatalities occurred when three fishing vessels sank near Chittagong. Additionally, an estimated 4,000 fishermen were listed as missing at sea. A total of 108,440 people were affected in Bangladesh. An oil tanker anchored near Chittagong was tossed by rough seas into another vessel and sustained significant damage. Large quantities of crude oil spilled into the water due to a hole in the hull of the ship. Both of the ships involved in the incident were owned by the Bangladesh Shipping Corporation. Following the impacts of the storm, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization provided $40,000 in immediate funds for rehabilitation efforts. The Government of Germany also provided $270,166 to the affected population. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies donated about $1.2 million to Bangladesh.
On May 27, an area of low pressure developed over the central Arabian Sea. Early the next day, the JTWC issued their first advisory on Tropical Cyclone 02A while the system was located about 740 km (460 mi) south of Masirah Island. The IMD only briefly monitored the system as a weak depression, designating it as ARB 01. Upon being classified a tropical cyclone, 02A reached its peak intensity. The speed of its winds was 65 km/h (40 mph). Soon, it began to dissipate due to increasing vertical wind shear. The center of circulation quickly became devoid of convection. The storm weakened below tropical storm intensity later that day before dissipating on May 29 over open waters.
On June 1, an area of low pressure developed over the Laccadive Islands. Two days later, the JTWC issued a TCFA for the system as it became better organized. Early on June 4, the JTWC issued its first advisory on Tropical Cyclone 03A. Around the same time, the IMD began monitoring the system as Depression ARB 02. Shortly after, the depression was upgraded to a deep depression and further strengthened into a cyclonic storm the following day. The small storm moved slowly towards the west and weakened as wind shear began to increase. The storm weakened below tropical storm intensity later that day and the initial final advisory was issued. However, the system redeveloped and advisories resumed the next day. The storm gradually intensified as it moved towards the northwest. Dvorak satellite intensity estimates on June 6 reached T4.0, corresponding to an intensity of 120 km/h (75 mph). The IMD also marked the increase in intensity, upgrading ARB 02 to a severe cyclonic storm. Around this time, the storm began to turn towards the north and accelerate due to an approaching mid-level trough. As the storm neared the Indian coastline, an eye developed and the storm strengthened into the equivalent of a major hurricane with winds reaching 185 km/h (115 mph). The IMD assessed the storm to be a very severe cyclonic storm at this time, with winds up to 165 km/h (105 mph) and a barometric pressure of 958 mbar (hPa). After slightly weakening early on June 9, 03A re-strengthened, attaining its peak intensity with winds of 195 km/h (120 mph). Then it made landfall near Porbandar in the Indian state of Gujarat between 0100 and 0200 UTC. The storm weakened following landfall and the JTWC issued their final advisory later that day. The IMD continued to monitor ARB 02 until June 10, by which time it had weakened to a depression before dissipating.
Tropical Cyclone 03A brought a large storm surge of 4.9 m (16 ft) which devastated coastal communities and salt mines. An estimated 10,000 people were killed by the storm, many of whom were salt mine workers who did not own a radio and received little or no warning of the cyclone. The large loss of life was partially attributed to contractors who wanted to continue making profits and did not inform their workers of the approaching storm. Also, the region had witnessed only 17 cyclones since 1890, all of which were weaker than 03A. As a result, its vulnerability was miscalculated by the local population and the disaster management administration. Power supply to numerous residences was lost due to the storms high winds. A microwave tower in Porbandar collapsed, causing widespread disruption in telecommunication. Hundreds of other power transmission towers also fell, causing an estimated loss of Rs 10 billion for the Gujarat Electricity Board. At least 893 people were injured by the storm and over 11,000 animals were killed. Over 162,000 structures were damaged or destroyed throughout the affected area and damages amounted to Rs. 120 billion (US$3 billion). Over the next one month, insurance companies had lost approximately Rs. 13 billion (US$266.5 million). The remnants of the storm produced heavy rains over Pakistan which electrocuted 12 people. In the wake of the storm, the United States Government provided US$25,000 for rehabilitation of the affected population. The Government of Denmark also contributed $72,992 in funds for relief efforts. The Gujarat government deployed approximately 330 medical teams to the affected areas. Local aid, amounting to Rs 1 billion (US$20.5 million) was provided to assist victims.
On June 13, the IMD began monitoring a depression over the central Bay of Bengal. Tracking towards the west, the depression intensified into a deep depression, peaking with winds of 55 km/h (35 mph) and a minimum pressure of 992 mbar (hPa). Around 1500 UTC on June 14, the deep depression made landfall near Visakhapatnam. Shortly thereafter, it weakened to a depression and dissipated early the following day.
In late September, an area of low pressure developed over the Arabian Sea within an east-west oriented surface trough while located about 740 km (460 mi) west of Mumbai, India. The system gradually intensified as it moved slowly towards the west. Early on September 30, the JTWC issued its first advisory on Tropical Cyclone 04A. Its winds peaked at 65 km/h (40 mph). Located within an area of moderate wind shear, the storm quickly weakened and dissipated early on October 1.
On October 8, the IMD began monitoring a tropical depression located about 835 km (520 mi) southwest of Mumbai. The depression was briefly classified as a deep depression with winds of 55 km/h (35 mph) and a minimum pressure of 998 mbar (hPa) as it moved towards the west-northwest. Shortly after reaching its peak intensity, the depression weakened. The last advisory was issued the next day while the storm was over open waters.
On October 13, the IMD began monitoring a tropical depression off the eastern coast of India. The depression remained relatively weak, with winds peaking at 45 km/h (30 mph) before the storm made landfall near Narsapur in the Andhra Pradesh early on October 14. The depression dissipated shortly after landfall. Heavy rains produced by the depression damaged croplands and property. Twenty-four-hour rainfall totals reached 110 mm (4.3 in) in localized areas, triggering flash floods in areas severely impacted by another system a week earlier. In Hyderabad, schools and government offices were closed. During the morning of October 14, overflow from a dam inundated the Srisailam power house, forcing officials to shut down the plant. Numerous highways were also closed due to flowing water. The following day, the water level of the dam continued to rise, leading to the evacuation of nearly 53,000 residents in the area. Throughout Andhra Pradesh, flooding from the depression resulted in 122 fatalities.
The IMD began monitoring an area of low pressure over the Laccadive Islands on October 10. The low traveled towards the northwest with little development. On October 15, the JTWC issued a TCFA as the system became better organized. Although wind shear increased, the first advisory was issued the next day. With minimal convection, the storm never intensified past 65 km/h (40 mph). The system traveled towards the northeast and weakened due to strong wind shear. On October 17, the storm fell below tropical storm status and made landfall on the Kathiawar Peninsula, near the same area where 03A made landfall in early June. The storm dissipated shortly after landfall.
As the storm neared land, officials in Gujarat evacuated hundreds of residents from coastal areas. Due to the low-intensity of the storm, no damage was reported on land and only light rain fell. However, offshore, more than 250 people were reported as missing when contact was lost with numerous fishing vessels. One-hundred-twenty people on twelve ships from Satpathy village were among the missing. One of the ships capsized; however, the crew of 12 swam to shore. One boat from Vasai carrying 20 people was also missing. Ten fishermen from Colaba were reported as missing, three of which later swam to shore. The Indian Coast Guard immediately dispatched search and rescue ships and naval helicopters to find the missing people.
Early on October 28, the IMD began monitoring a tropical depression located about 555 km (345 mi) south-southeast of Visakhapatnam in the Andhra Pradesh. The depression strengthened to a deep depression later that day with winds peaking at 55 km/h (35 mph) before undergoing a weakening trend. The depression dissipated the next day near the Andhra Pradesh coastline. The outer bands of the depression produced light rainfall over the coast of Andhra Pradesh.
On November 10, an area of low pressure developed over the Bay of Bengal within a monsoonal trough. Moving towards the northwest, the low gradually developed and the JTWC issued a TCFA early on November 13. The next day, the first advisory on Tropical Cyclone 06B was issued. A brief period of rapid development took place as the storm strengthened just below Category 1 status. Shortly before making landfall near Visakhapatnam, 06B reached its peak intensity with winds of 155 km/h (100 mph). At this time, the IMD classified the cyclone as a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm and reported that it had a 60 km (37 mi) wide eye. Rapid weakening followed shortly after landfall and the storm dissipated early on November 16.
Major crop losses, property damage, and six fatalities were reported from the affected areas. Four of the fatalities were in Visakhapatnam and the other two were in east Godavari. Hundreds of trees and power lines had fallen. At least 116,000 acres (470 km2) of cropland and more than 2,000 homes were damaged. Waves produced by the storm at Visakhapatnam were recorded up to 5.74 m (18.8 ft). The storm dropped rainfall in excess of 100 mm (3.9 in) throughout the region. Damages from the storm were estimated at BTN 880 million (US$20.7 million).
Tropical Storm Chip dissipated over Vietnam on November 15, 1998. The remnants of Chip crossed the Malay Peninsula on November 17 and entered the Bay of Bengal. The system moved along the edge of a subtropical ridge within an area of strong wind shear. After turning towards the northwest, the low entered an area of lower wind shear and began to become better organized. Between November 18 and 20, the JTWC issued three TCFAs before issuing first advisory on Tropical Cyclone 07B early on November 20. While recurving towards the northeast, 07B reached its peak intensity on November 22 with winds of 140 km/h (85 mph). Shortly after reaching peak intensity, the cyclone entered an area of strong wind shear which caused convection associated with the storm to become dislocated from the center. This caused 07B to rapidly weaken before making landfall to the west of Chittagong, Bangladesh. It dissipated on November 23.
Tropical Cyclone 07B produced a storm surge of 1.2 to 2.4 m (4 to 8 ft) which inundated coastal areas of Bangladesh, killing 40 people and leaving at least 103 others missing. Winds gusting up to 80 km/h (47 mph) and heavy rains impacted a large area of the country. A large area of rice paddies was lost due to flooding and numerous homes were buried in mud. A total of 5,780 families were left homeless. About 8,755 homes sustained severe damage and an estimated 300,000 people were affected by 07B.
On December 7, a broad area of low pressure developed near southern India within an area of moderate wind shear. On December 11, the JTWC issued a TCFA for the system as it drifted towards the northwest over the Arabian Sea. Two days later, the first advisory on Tropical Cyclone 08A was issued. The large cyclone slowly organized and intensified as it turned towards the north. By December 15, the storm reached its peak intensity with winds of 120 km/h (75 mph). Then, it turned towards the west into an area of higher wind shear. The cyclone gradually weakened as it traveled towards Oman. It made landfall in the country on December 17 with winds of 65 km/h (40 mph) and dissipated later that day. Although it made landfall as a tropical storm, no known damage was reported. The remnants of the storm sank a ship, killing 18 fishermen.
This is a table of the storms in 1998 and their landfall(s), if any. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but are still storm-related.

Champions League Football – Does Aston Villa Have What it Takes?
I find it hard to differ that Aston Estate isn't areas of strength for as football crew as express that of Manchester Joined together, Liverpool or the Weapons store and I won't wager on them winning the prize presently. In any case, in the wake of winning 5 association matches out of 6, getting the fourth spot in the Head Association and being only 1 point shy of Chelsea shows that they are certainly finding them. To realize that you are playing to lose should be a seriously extreme situation to think of oneself as in yet it is bizarre that Mentor O'Neill and his group are okay with it exceptionally in the wake of having procured 21 focuses from 27 which shows they are in excellent condition. It was unexpected to observe Aston Manor show their get up and go in a match against the Munititions stockpile which finished in a draw. Estate has แทงบอล overcome much under the direction of O'Neill as was clear from the second half rebound they made thanks to 2 awesome objectives by Gareth Barry and Zat Knight. This was a Boxing Day gift for Aston as the attract helped them keeping their 3 focuses lead over Arsene Wenger's side. The person and assurance with which the Aston Estate players protected their group against a misfortune from Munititions stockpile was a disclosure for myself and fans everywhere. Prior on assuming that they had been set in a circumstance where they were lingering behind a five star group, for example, Weapons store they would have surrendered quite a while in the past yet not this new group that Aston is forming into. It doesn't take long for the consequence of football matches to pivot and astound all! Notwithstanding these newly discovered qualities of Aston Manor collectively, the select characteristics moved by football players Martin Laursen, Ashely Youthful, Steve Sidwell and James Milner are ending up the main thrust behind its new job as an unequivocally cutthroat side. I don't see them allowing anybody to mess with them and excuse them with such ease. The main thing that concerns me right now is a player getting harmed and not having the option to play. John Carew is now absent from the activity so in such a case the mentor should play both of these 2 players, Marlon Harewood or Nathan Delfouneso. I'm not saying that these 2 players ought to be dismissed inside and out as they have a ton of commitment of transforming into future stars however insight and skill is required by Aston as of now. They have a lot in question to take a risk with anything. Hence, it will not be rash to propose that they ought to truly consider employing a new forward. The ouster of Carew because of injury has somehow or another ended up being a surprisingly positive turn of events. O'Neill has explored different avenues regarding setting up Barry, Sidwell and Petroy in the focal midfield and has likewise conveyed Milner and Youthful on the flanks. The outcome has not been frustrating. It makes me keep thinking about whether the Norwegian striker will find himself a put in the group when he is sufficiently fit to return. O'Neill appears to settle very much a score by the Bulgarian Petrov. I likewise have begun to acknowledge him in the group yet it is a secret to me why O'Neill would make a good attempt to ensure Petrov got a put in the group. Presumably he is showing a great deal of progress this season however at that point we should be fair. His passing is, best case scenario, efficient while what Aston needs is sharpness. He needs seriousness and isn't athletic enough as a midfielder ought to be. It might sound cruel to some however believe me, subsequent to having noticed him for the beyond 2 and a half years I'm not ready to comprehend what it is that makes O'Neill so enthusiastic about having him in a generally mind blowing group. One shortcoming that I have noticed is the frail full-back positions. Reo-Coker furnished Weapons store with their first objective of the match however that could be simply a one time botch that anybody could succumb to. Luke Youthful is likewise assuming great out of his recognizable part despite the fact that he could improve back where he should have been. All said Aston Estate is by all accounts a decent competitor for a spot among the main 4. It is wonderful that from being the group that generally wound up right at the lower part of the positions ought to out of nowhere be vieing for the top openings. I was unable to uncertainty supervisor O'Neill's case that it should not shock anyone if his side completions in the main four.

Reddit says U.S. users "unwittingly" shared Russian propaganda
Kia Kokalitcheva
Steve Huffman CEO, Reddit, delivers remarks on 'Redesigning Reddit' during the third day of Web Summit in Altice Arena on November 08, 2017 in Lisbon, Portugal. Photo: Horacio Villalobos - Corbis/Getty Images
Though it's largely remained outside the spotlight on this topic, Reddit said on Monday that Russian propaganda related to the last presidential election was shared by at least "thousands" of U.S. users.
"[F]rom everything we can tell, these users are mostly American, and appear to be unwittingly promoting Russian propaganda ... I believe the biggest risk we face as Americans is our own ability to discern reality from nonsense, and this is a burden we all bear. I wish there was a solution as simple as banning all propaganda, but it's not that easy."
— CEO Steve Huffman in a Reddit post.
Why it matters: Congressional investigators are seeing more information from Reddit as part of their probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, the Washington Post reports.
Huffman says all ads from Russia are blocked and that most of the few submitted before or after the election were for spam or initial coin offerings.
"We have found and removed a few hundred accounts, and of course, every account we find expands our search a little more," writes Huffman. "The vast majority of suspicious accounts we have found in the past months were banned back in 2015–2016 through our enhanced efforts to prevent abuse of the site generally."
