I am excited to share my new book, "Going Deeper with God." This book was written in response to a supernatural mandate by God to write that was revealed to me in an open vision. God named this book and created the design, colors, and flowers. This book shares my personal experiences with God while on this Christian journey. Through the pages of this book, you will discover how to use supernatural tools to live a victorious and obedient life before the Lord. Many always told me I would one day write a book. My response was always not until God told me to do so. Well, here it is, just as He showed it to me, complete with title, colors, and design. Please share a comment below that would benefit others seeking to go deeper with God.

A study investigated the way in which children make use of morphemic information when they are learning to spell. Specifically, it examined the use of morphemic information in spelling compound words; the use made of morphemic information when adding suffixes to words, and the way the morphological rule governing the formation of the past tense is acquired. Subjects, 360 7-to-9-year-old children from 30 schools in Melbourne, Australia, were administered spelling tests over a 3-day period. Results showed that many of the children did not appear to be aware of the significance of the morphemic structure of the words they were asked to spell, and knowing how to spell a morpheme in one context did not ensure that it would be spelled correctly in another. The children's spelling of the irregular past tense morpheme indicated that they were attempting to apply a rule, but for many the rule was difficult to acquire. The bilingual children in the sample, as a group, were less competent than the monolingual children at making use of morphemic information, but the difference was not great, and the error patterns of the two groups were similar.

We develop a stylized model to investigate the impact of financial options on reducing carbon permit price volatility under a cap-and-trade system. The existence of an option market provides a mechanism to hedge the uncertainty of future spot prices and is a stimulus for investment in carbon emission abatement technologies. We show that both the spot price level and the price volatility of carbon permits can be reduced via the trading of financial options, while achieving the emission reduction target. We also show that introducing financial options in a banking environment offers more flexibility to risk management in carbon permit trading.
