K-State seeks to contain Oklahoma State Saturday SCOTT POPP

THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State football team has faced ranked teams twice this year, against No. 8 Stanford and No.19 Oklahoma.

Both times the Wildcats played poorly and both times they left with a loss.

But people say the third time is the charm, and the Wildcats will have their shot at another ranked opponent in No. 18 Oklahoma State, which comes to town this weekend.

The Cowboys (6-2, 4-1 Big 12) will be no easy task. They are coming off a big win against previously undefeated West Virginia, and their offense has really picked up lately.

They are currently 13th in the nation in passing offense and 35th in total offense.

Leading the Cowboys’ offense is junior quarterback Mason Rudolph. Rudolph has really hit his stride as of late. He has thrown for 2,532 yards and 17 touchdowns so far this season.

“I think the experience has allowed (Rudolph) to do things extremely poised and make quality decisions,” K-State head coach Bill Snyder said.

“The game has slowed down for him, and when that hap-

sions and be an accurate thrower.”

Rudolph and Oklahoma State will have to do something that the Cowboys have not done

very often: win in Manhattan, Kansas.The Cowboys have won just once in Manhattan since 1988, which came in 2010.

Another thing that doesn’t

bode well for the Cowboys is the Wildcats’ ability to win games in November. K-State has won at least half or more of its games in November over the

last five years.

“I think that just shows the dedication and toughness that we exemplify here,” junior linebacker Trent Tanking said.

“We always are preached to finish and that goes to the whole season. We are reaching the last four games and trying to finish.”

K-State (5-3, 3-2 Big 12) has now won two straight games, but those wins have not come easily. K-State had great starts but had to hold on against both Texas and Iowa State late in the fourth quarter.

“We are not complete,” Snyder said. “I think that is true in all aspects of our game. We have not put together a complete ball game in the running game, passing game, run defense, pass defense and parts of our kicking game as well. At the end of the day, it goes back to being able to put together complete ball games. There is not an area where we have performed quite well in every segment of the offense, defense and kicking game consistently throughout the ball game.”

The Wildcats will try to find some consistency Saturday against the Cowboys. The two teams will kickoff at 2:30 p.m. inside Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

K-State, Fort Riley unit partnership fraught with meaning SHELTON BURCH THE COLLEGIAN

As Kansas State head football coach Bill Snyder’s 25th season continues, Saturday’s game will also be Fort Riley Day in Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

This is the 10th year of the formal partnership between Fort Riley and the K-State football program.

The partnership began in 2006. Capt. Jake Arbanas, rear detachment commander for 1st Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat team, in the 1st Infantry Division at Fort Riley, said the team brings the flags of the unit, commonly referred to as the units’ “Colors,” to each game as part of the partnership.

“We give that to them so that when (the players) run out onto the field, they have our flags for division and the battalion,” Arbanas said. “(It’s) a visual representation of the partnership so that everyone else can see that they support us and we support them at the same time.”

Through this, the unit is represented at each home game,

Arbanas said.

He said the K-State football coaches have a similar task to that of the commanders at the 1st Battalion of the 16th Infantry Regiment in that both try to build teams and a “fighting force.”

“Partnering with them and interacting with them is a good way to keep us connected and bounce ideas off each other as far as good leadership qualities,” Arbanas said.

In June, the K-State football team went to Fort Riley to do an early morning physical training with the unit.

“We worked with them and talked with them and got to know their stories and tell them ours,” sophomore running back Justin Silmon said.

Arbanas said the military and college football teams attract similar demographics, particularly with regard to age.

“We get new soldiers, they get new players and student athletes,” Arbanas said. “It’s building teamwork, so we can kind of relate as far as what they’re trying to do.”

Sophomore defensive back

D.J. Reed said soldiers and football players are similar in more than just age.

“They kind of go through what we go through,” Reed said.

“Sometimes we don’t like doing what we’re doing, like workouts can be a pain in the butt sometimes, but you know they do it for a bigger cause. I was talking to one guy and he was telling me how he was doing it for his family so his family can be good in the long run. That’s what I’m doing, too. We’re pretty much doing the same thing but I’m playing football and he’s fighting for our country.”

Arbanas said the soldiers also like interacting with the players, especially for some of the soldiers who are around the same ages as the players.

“It’s cool for (the soldiers) to have the opportunity to talk to kids like them (who are) about the same age,” Arbanas said.

“We see them out there and we live in the same general area, so we kind of can relate to what’s going on around (Manhattan and the Flint Hills).”

Snyder said the partnership with Fort Riley has been a very

“We all tend, from time to time, to kind of take for granted what our military has done and why we can still sit in a room

and chat the way we are,” Snyder said. “You think about the kind of sacrifices that are made.

Athletics is a venue for sacrifice and learning and the value of

personal sacrifice for the good of — and you think of what all those young soldiers and older soldiers have done, and that’s meaningful to me.”

What to watch: Wildcats, Cowboys on national TV BRETT ENGLE

THE COLLEGIAN

NO. 18 OKLAHOMA STATE VS. KANSAS STATE

Oklahoma State and Kansas State have a history of playing tough, close and entertaining games in the past, and this game shouldn’t be any different.

The Cowboys are 6-2 on the year, but should be 7-1 due to Central Michigan’s desperation play at the end of regulation to down the Cowboys, 30-27.

Junior quarterback Mason Rudolph has been playing out of his mind this year. He’s thrown for more than 2,500 yards this year and 17 touchdowns to just two interceptions.

Rudolph’s play thus far has been a direct correlation to the Cowboy’s impressive record.

The Wildcats sit at 5-3 on the season, but are a missed field goal in their one-point loss against West Virginia from having the same record as the Cowboys.

Junior quarterback Jesse Ertz has been very productive for the Wildcats. Ertz has thrown for seven touchdowns this year, but like many Bill Snyder quarterbacks before him, thrives in the running game, leading the team with 477 rushing yards and finding the end zone six times.

This Big 12 contest will kick off at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

NO. 1 ALABAMA VS. NO. 13 LSU

Alabama versus LSU is always a highly anticipated game, and we’ll be in for yet another treat this year.

Alabama has run the table this year, rattling off eight wins to start the year, five of which have been against top-20 teams.

The Tide will look to make it six against LSU. The man behind the Alabama offense has been freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Hurts has thrown for 1,578 yards and 12 touchdowns this year, but that’s not all, as he’s

Hurts’ play has been a pleasant surprise to head coach Nick Saban and Alabama fans, as in the preseason nobody was sure who was going to fill the quarterback void.

LSU has dropped two games this year, but only by a combined seven points, and haven’t lost at home this year, as one was a road game loss and the other at a neutral site.

The Tigers have won their only game against a ranked team last week, beating No. 23 Ole Miss 38-21.

You would think the star of the LSU offense would be junior running back Leonard Fournette, but it could very well be sophomore running back Derrius Guice. Guice leads the team with seven rushing touchdowns on the year, and is second on the team with 621 rushing yards, but only trails Fournette by 49 yards in that department.

This SEC West contest will kick off at 7 p.m. Saturday.

NO. 10 NEBRASKA VS.

NO. 6 OHIO STATE

In the only top-10 matchup of the week, we’ll see a game that could have a rematch in the

Big 10 Championship game.

Nebraska has nearly been perfect this year, as its only loss occurred last week in a heart-

breaker to Wisconsin, 23-17 in overtime.

Look for Nebraska’s receivers to play a big part in this

game. There isn’t a breakout star for the Cornhuskers at the wide receiver position, but they have a lot depth with seven receivers with at least 10 receptions on the year. Out of those seven, six have at least 100 receiving yards as well. Senior receiver Jordan Westerkamp leads the team with four receiving touchdowns this year.

Ohio State has taken a few steps back in recent weeks, playing in close ballgames.

Two weeks ago, the Buckeyes dropped their only contest of the year to Penn State, 24-21, and escaped last week with a 2420 win over Northwestern.

Junior quarterback J.T. Barrett has been on another level this year. Barrett has thrown for 1,675 yards this year and 17 touchdowns. He has also shown his dual-threat capability, rushing for 531 yards and is tied for the team lead in rushing touchdowns with six.

This Big 10 battle will kick off at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Big 12 Offensive Player Rankings: Week 10 PEYTON GARRISON

junior season as he torched the Jayhawks and led his Sooners to a 56-3 rout against Kansas.

1. D’ONTA FOREMAN, JUNIOR RB, TEXAS

3. MASON RUDOLPH, JUNIOR QB, OKLAHOMA STATE

THE COLLEGIAN

Foreman was a bulldozer for the Longhorns against the No. 8 Baylor Bears on Saturday. Foreman ran the ball 32 times for 250 yards and two scores. Foreman is having a stellar year running the ball and has made a name for himself in Heisman candidate discussions.

2. BAKER MAYFIELD, JUNIOR QB, OKLAHOMA

Mayfield once again finds himself as a top performer in Big 12 play this week, throwing for 236 and four touchdowns.

Mayfield’s big game is just another on his Heisman-hopeful

Rudolph had to have a big game to upset the No. 10 West Virginia Mountaineers and he did just that, completing 26 of 36 passes for 273 yards and three touchdowns. It was a huge win for the Cowboys as they upset the team tied for first in the Big 12.

4. ARMANTI FOREMAN, JUNIOR WR, TEXAS

The Longhorns had three of the top performers in the Big 12 last week, which played a big part in their upset win in a shootout against Baylor. The other Foreman, Armanti, made huge plays

all day, catching just four passes for 142 yards and a touchdown.

5. TERENCE WILLIAMS, SOPHOMORE RB, BAYLOR

In a back and fourth game between the Bears and Longhorns, the running backs stole the show, including Baylor running back Terence Williams. Williams ran 24 times for 180 yards and one touchdown. Although Williams had a big game, it wasn’t enough to avoid the upset to in-state rival Texas.

6. JESSE ERTZ, JUNIOR QB, KANSAS STATE

Ertz has been at the center of the Wildcats’ offense all year long. Although the offense has been the team’s biggest weakness, Ertz has ran and thrown the ball pretty well. Ertz completed 18

Junior quarterback Jesse Ertz runs the ball downfield during the game between K-State and Texas in Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Oct. 22. of 28 passes for 151 yards and a touchdown as well as 106 yards on the ground. The Wildcats are going to need more production

from other positions on the offense if they want to keep up with the other high-scoring Big 12 offenses.

Fort Riley teacher inspires students JACK MCHUGH

THE COLLEGIAN

J

essica Gladden’s gifted program at Fort Riley Middle School is as intelligent as it is tight-knit.

Gladden said the eighthgrade program consists of just five students, the perfect setting for permanent friendships to develop among a largely transient student body.

FORT RILEY GIFTED PROGRAM

Gladden said when students are admitted to Fort Riley Middle School, they’re not always accepted into the school’s gifted program. Certain state standards have to be met, which means the program is constantly testing new students.

It can be difficult for those who don’t reach the benchmarks, especially if they were in similar programs in other states, according to Gladden. “‘So, ‘I’m gifted, but not in Kansas,’” Gladden said. “That’s a challenging thing that we definitely have to deal with very regularly here.”

Gladden said she has worked with gifted children throughout her entire career in both smaller, specialized groups as well as with gifted students who are a part of a larger general education class.

Janet Parrish, gifted educator for the five elementary schools on Fort Riley, said Gladden skillfully adjusts her lessons not only on student cognitive levels, but also their interests.

“She’s not about limiting the students, saying this is what we’re

going to do,” Parrish said. “She’s opening the door, saying ‘Let me go and find something you’re willing to do and that will get you excited about learning.’”

When educating her students, Gladden said she focuses on developing critical thinking.

Some gifted students aren’t challenged until late middle school or high school. Material comes as inherently easy to them their entire lives, then when they’re finally challenged with upper-level math or complex literature, they’re lost.

“I try to put them in situations where they don’t know all the answers, so when they’re in that situation in a class, they have strategies for working through their thinking and not just getting frustrated,” Gladden said.

Gladden said she does this through a series of puzzles and

games, including one similar to the breakout room escape games that are trending throughout the country. Students must solve a series of clues, using logic and problem-solving skills, to open a lockbox that contains a prize.

Throughout these activities, Gladden acts as a guide, not a lecturer. She pushes students to find solutions on their own, subtly nudging them in the right direction when they stray off track, which according to the students themselves, is a lot. Their enrichment sessions are punctuated with SpongeBob references, quotes from viral videos and spontaneous song and dance routines.

“All the stuff that we do, I don’t think I could handle us (if I were Gladden),” Chalice Carter, eighth-grade gifted student, said.

INCONSISTENCIES OF TEACHING ON POST

Every week, Gladden said she meets with other school leaders as part of Fort Riley Middle School’s academic assistance team. The group reviews two lists: incoming students for admission and outgoing students for dismissal.

“Hardly a week goes by where we don’t have kids on both lists,” Gladden said.

The average military family moves about once every three years, according to the U.S. Department of Defense Education Activity website.

Gladden said Fort Riley Middle School’s student body is composed almost entirely of students from military families. Because military families move around a lot, what a student is learning at one school doesn’t always match up with the progress that’s being made at the student’s new school after moving.

Gladden said this inconsistency creates headaches for administrators and teachers when curriculum continuity doesn’t cross state lines.

Eighth-grader Connor Dettloff, Gladden’s son, has said goodbye to many friends and peers over his three years attending Fort Riley Middle School.

“I made a lot of friends in sixth grade, and the majority of them moved over the summer,”

Hallie Lucas | THE COLLEGIAN

Jessica Gladden is the gifted education facilitator for grades six through eight at Fort Riley Middle School.

Dettloff said. “And the same thing happened in seventh grade.”

Most of the students, especially those who have moved frequently, are accustomed to the constant flow of changing faces in their classes.

Emily Waggoner, eighthgrade gifted student, said adapting to new students, schools and teachers is as necessary as the most basic human function.

“It’s like breathing,” Waggoner said. “You have to.”

TEACHING AS A CAREER

“I knew I wasn’t doing enough for those kids early in my career, so I started researching how to work with gifted kids,” Gladden said. “I ended up getting an endorsement in it and being a gifted teacher in general.”

Gladden said this endorsement was a turning point, even a lifeline, in her career as an educator.

“The first few years of teaching are really hard,” Gladden said. “They say if you make it past five years, you’re good.”

After four years, Gladden said she was ready to change her career. While Gladden enjoyed working with elementary-age children, she was drained by the constant stream of paperwork, endless meetings and a lack of meaningful relationships with her fellow instructors.

Parrish said she realizes the importance of quality relationships with fellow educators for venting, idea exchange and support.

“It’s very important that

teachers be able to communicate and have time to collaborate,” Parrish said. “If that’s not there, you are truly an island, and you don’t get any new ideas.”

Teetering on quitting teaching and finding a different career, Gladden decided to teach one more year at a different school.

The culture among instructors was totally different — dynamic and helpful — as a group of educators, unfamiliar with each other, came together to open a brandnew school.

She also earned her gifted teaching endorsement that year and realized her passion for working with gifted children. She was in an inclusion classroom, with a combination of general education and gifted students, but she learned to tailor her lessons to students in different areas of the spectrum.

Parrish worked with Gladden closely at an elementary level, but less frequently now that Gladden has moved to a middle school setting. Still, she said she suspects Gladden’s older students will pick up on and be inspired by her goals and aspirations both inside and outside of the classroom. “(Gladden) is an all-around person,” Xavier Lopez, eighthgrade gifted student, said. “She helps, she supports, she does everything.”

He backtracked.

“Well, she doesn’t fly around like Superman or anything like that,” he said.

Waggoner corrected him.

“Well, if she put her mind to it, she probably could,” Waggoner said.

“Kit Kat thief” tweet earns student 6,500 candy bars DANIELLE COOK THE COLLEGIAN

After tweeting a photo of the note left in his unlocked car from a thief who stole only the Kit Kat candy bar he’d been keeping in the cup holder, Hunter Jobbins, freshman in athletic training, received many responses on social media, eventually also catching the attention of prominent media, such as The Huffington Post and BuzzFeed.

When Kit Kat caught wind of the news, the company responded to Jobbins, tweeting him an offer to replace his stolen candy bar.

Kit Kat did, in fact, replace Jobbins’ Kit Kat — by filling his car with 6,500 Kit Kats, which

Sam and Jason Jobbins, Hunter’s mother and father, traveled to Manhattan from their home in Colwich, Kansas, to attend the Kit Kat giveaway event.

Hunter had been visiting his parents for the weekend and had taken a Twix and a Kit Kat from home for the road before returning to Manhattan, Sam said. Not long after she received a text message from Hunter saying that he made it back to Manhattan safely, Sam saw her son’s tweet about the Kit Kat thief.

“I thought it was hilarious that something like that could become such a big thing, but I guess maybe people are tired of politics and they like something funny and cute,” Sam said.

Hunter, who gave away many of his Kit Kats to attendees of the giveaway event, but was left with plenty do what he pleases with, said he does not have any idea who the Kit Kat thief is, but wishes he did because he would like to share his spotlight — and, yes, his Kit Kats — with him or her.

“If the Kit Kat thief is reading this or keeping up with this, I would love for you to come and tell me, and I’ll give you a big hug, a thank you and a lot of Kit Kats,” Jobbins said.

Hunter’s roommates, Aaron Meyer, freshman in food science, and Sam Lubbers, freshman in finance, said they expected Hunter’s tweet to be popular, but never expected anything as big as the crowded Kit Kat giveaway to come of it.

“We took bets on how many likes and retweets he’d get,” Meyer said. “I said 60,000, and he beat that by the next morning.”

Men’s basketball set to take on Washburn in final exhibition game SCOTT POPP

THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State men’s basketball team is set to face Washburn tonight in its final exhibition game of the season. The Wildcats are coming off an 85-72 win over Pitt State on Oct. 28. Here are two things to look for tonight:

SHOOTING

Look to see how the Wildcats shoot the ball, especially from behind the arc. A year ago the Cats only shot 30 percent and it showed in their eighth-place Big 12 finish. In

the first half of their game against Pitt State, the Wildcats shot well. They made over 50 percent of their shots and eight 3-pointers in the first half when their starters were still in the game.

“I think if we move the ball well and get it to open people, I do not mind shooting,” head coach Bruce Weber said. “Obviously we were the worst in the league last year.

We have worked at it, we have added Xavier (Sneed), who is a good 3-point shooter. Wes (Iwundu) hit that first one.”

YOUTH

Look for how the youth

makes adjustments after their first action in front of a crowd at Bramlage Coliseum. Freshmen Sneed and Isaiah Maurice both flashed some potential, as Sneed scored 13 and Maurice scored 10. Weber said Sneed did some things well.

“His scoring was one thing, but I thought his defense, his energy, his rebounding (were good),” Weber said.

“He had that one flurry where he blocked a shot, then the next time he got the rebound, then he ran the court, then he got an and-one on a drive.

That is what we need.”

The game tonight is part

of a women’s and men’s doubleheader against Washburn.

The women will tip off at 5:30 p.m. and the men at 8 p.m.

The men’s regular season will get underway in a week when the Wildcats face off against Western Illinois.

Ichabods.

The Wildcats return nine letter winners from last year’s team, which made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament before falling to the No. 1-seeded South Carolina Gamecocks.

Of that nine, the Wildcats boast four returning starters, including senior center Breanna Lewis, a preseason AllBig 12 selection, and senior guard Kindred Wesemann, who was an All-Big 12 second

h

team selection after the 201516 season.

Head coach Jeff Mittie is entering his third season at the helm of the Wildcats, averaging 21 wins per season.

Mittie enters the 2016-17 season with 492 total career NCAA Division I wins.

Meanwhile, the MIAA Ichabods come into this season with plenty of accolades after being picked third in the preseason MIAA coaches poll. Washburn finished sev-

enth in the 2015-16 season after going 15-14 and 11-11 in conference play.

Washburn returns four of its five leading scorers from last season, including senior forward Alyxis Bowens, who averaged 11.5 points and 5.4 rebounds last season.

The game will be televised on Fox Sports Central and K-STATEHD.tv leading up to the K-State men taking on the Washburn men at 8 p.m.

How K-State has changed since the Cubs last won the World Series JASON TIDD

THE COLLEGIAN

After a 108-year-drought, the Chicago Cubs won the World Series in dramatic fashion Wednesday night amid errors, extra innings and a rain delay.

A lot has changed around the world and at Kansas State since 1908, the last time the Cubs won the World Series.

Here’s a look at what was different on the campus of the Kansas State Agricultural College.

CAMPUS BUILDINGS

There were several fewer buildings on campus in 1908.

The oldest building on cam-

pus is Seaton Court, which was constructed in 1875 for $7,500.

Holtz Hall was built in 1876, and Anderson Hall, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, in 1879.

Fairchild Hall was built in 1894, and Kedzie Hall in 1897.

The bronze bust in front of Fairchild Hall commemorates William Alexander Harris, a former U.S. representative and senator from Kansas.

Holton Hall was built in 1900, and the Greenhouse D– Conservatory in 1907. According to K-State’s website, the Greenhouse “contains tropical rain forest and desert environments for exotic and native insects.”

COST OF COMMON GOODS

According to the Morris County Library website, a daily newspaper cost a penny in 1908.

A prime rib was $0.14 per pound, cheese was $0.15 per pound and butter was $0.27 per pound. A can of Van Camp’s pork and beans was $0.09. Eggs were $0.19 a dozen. Flour was $6.25 a barrel and coffee was $0.12 a pound.

A men’s blue serge suit cost between $7.95 and $15. A pair of women’s patent leather shoes was $1.98. Boy’s suspenders were between $0.08 and $0.15 a pair. Canvas gloves were be-

ATHLETICS

Mike Ahearn was the coach of the K-State football, basketball and baseball teams in 1908.

Ahearn is the namesake of Ahearn Field House.

The football team went 6-2 in 1908. The biggest win that year was 40-10 against Oklahoma State. The 1908-09 men’s basketball team went 7-3 with losses to Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri.

The 1908 baseball team went 12-2-1 with two wins over Kansas and losses to the Tope1 Sox and Washburn at ka White home. The team later traveled to Washburn in that season and won.

JK Review: Just Salad KELSEY KENDALL & JULIA HOOD THE COLLEGIAN

Finally, Kansas State has some healthy options in the K-State Student Union. Just Salad makes its way from the Big Apple to the Little Apple.

There are several different premade options, but students also have the opportunity to create their own salads.

CHIPOTLE COWBOY SALAD

Julia: This salad came with spicy dressing, which I don’t really like, but also came with many other goodies that topped my dislike of spice.

There were lots of black beans, chicken, avocado and yummy pepper jack cheese amidst that green salad stuff. The chicken was cooked great and the combination of these flavors kind of made it taste like a taco salad! Next time, I would

attempt replacing the dressing with the Sweet Mama dressing, but overall, I thought it was super good.

Kelsey: I was really confused when I couldn’t taste the chipotle dressing’s spice to begin with, but then it creeped up on me. Overall, I loved it. The combination of the pepper jack cheese, chicken, beans and avocado worked so well together, I could forget I don’t typically like salads. This salad was much more savory than the Sweet Mama salad we also tried, and I have to say I preferred it.

SWEET MAMA SALAD

J: ‘Sweet Mama!’ is right!

I loved this one, especially with the apples. Since I’m not a huge fan of spicy, I wanted something that could bring a kick without the spice. My favorite parts were definitely the meat and cheese: sharp white cheddar and turkey bacon. It was the perfect combination, and the baby spinach in this salad was fresher than fresh.

To top it off, the sweet maple cider vinaigrette was an A+.

This salad gets an 150 percent from me. I could have ate an entire bowl of it!

K: This was a good salad.

If I was just looking for something light to snack on, I would totally get this. Compared to the Chipotle Chicken, though, it was a little bland. There was some sweetness from the apple chunks in it, but I was honestly a little underwhelmed by this one. It didn’t have much going on in it.

AVOCADO CREAMSICLE SMOOTHIE

J: I was slightly weirded out by the thought of a pure avocado smoothie, but this was delicious. It didn’t even taste like avocado. It had more of a tangy taste than anything, and I kind of thought it tasted like Sprite.

I imagine there were different fruit juices in it to give it more flavor. This smoothie got a nine

Check out our video review at kstatecollegian.com! out of 10 from Kelsey and I, so make sure to try it out in the K-State Student Union. I am so excited about this new restaurant addition on campus!

K: Where was the avocado in this smoothie? I don’t know,

but I thought it tasted more like apple juice than Sprite. I really enjoyed it for that reason. The idea of drinking an avocado was really weirding me out before I actually tried. Definitely deserves a nine out of 10.
