Getting Here
Jay Peak Resort is located in Jay, Vermont in the Northeast Kingdom. It is easily accessible via major highways plus air travel from Burlington, Vermont or Montreal, Quebec.
You'll probably notice our main entrance has changed. There's a big sign at the new location. Keep your eyes peeled.
Are you a fan of the Global Positioning System? You might not be after using it to visit us. The Google Map app on your phone, excuse me...your device, will get you here provided you use 830 Jay Peak Road Jay, VT as the address. But if you have one of them new-fangle systems that comes built-in to your car's console, you might wind up in the town of Richford or another town that is not Jay Peak. This will make you sad because 1) it's not where you wanted to be, and 2) the person you flag down on the street will inform you that you have another 30-40 minutes to drive, at which point you may become angry. This is not a healthy start to your vacation. Use Google Maps (or a Tom Tom provided you've updated it with the most recent maps of the Jay area.)
If you're trying to find us on a map, our physical address is:
830 Jay Peak Road
Jay, VT 05859

Kitten Natividad is a pornstar who was born in Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. She is an Aquarius according to the star signs of astrology. She has brown eyes and naturally brunette hair that is often dyed blonde. Her height is a petite 5 feet 3 inches and she weighs about 127 pounds. Her body measurements are 46G-28-39 and she did have breast augmentation surgery to achieve that shape. She has no tattoos or body piercings at all. She is a Hispanic woman who had several alias names during her career which include Francesca Kitten Natividad, Francesca Natividad and Kitten Natvidad.
In the summer before her senior year in high school she had a job working for Hollywood actress Stella Stevens at her home in Coldwater Canyon, California. Her duties included cleaning and some cooking. One evening when she was helping with a big party and welcoming guests like Warren Beatty and Linda Evans, she recalled watching them mingle and deciding that she wanted to be a movie star too. During her senior year in school she eloped with her boyfriend but the marriage didn't last long and she was back working for Ms. Stevens. She enrolled in a trade school course and got a job with IBM as a key punch operator but it didn't pay very well. She learned that a neighbor was making twice as much money as a stripper and after she looked at herself naked, she decided she could definitely do that too.
She was in her early twenties when she began stripping at a club in Pasadena. She was very nervous so just focused on her routine and when she finished the crowd applauded, cheered and threw money onto the stage. She became instantly popular and well known and worked at two clubs a week, averaging about $700 per week. The hours were very long and she was working so much that she decided to get an agent. He advised her to get a stage name and because she had a shy disposition, she chose the name Kitten and used her real last name. A couple of years later she met an agent named Sparky who got her to enter the Miss Nude Universe pageant which she subsequently won for 1971 and 1972 which really boosted her confidence. It also helped get her some mainstream work in films by Russ Meyers.
She met Russ at a club she was working in after being introduced by her girlfriend and recommended for a role he had coming up. They hit it off well and he wound up casting her as the main narrator of the film "Up!" which was released in 1976. During filming Miss Natividad had quite a hard time on some days but after seeing some of the results of the tough direction she was getting, she learned to trust him more and more. After the film's release, she moved in with Mr. Meyers and claims it was the start of a 12 year long affair with him. She starred in "Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens" which Meyers co-wrote with Roger Ebert and she actually played two parts in the film. Although the movie theater distribution of this film was low, there was an increase in video tape sales as this had become a new format at the time. Kitten went on to work on her magazine modeling in between dancing gigs and movie work with Russ. She branched out into doing some girl on girl photo spreads and was bringing in more than $1,000 per week at this time.
She began working in porn movies when she was in her late twenties in the year 1976. Her first film was called "Deep Jaws" and was produced by Gourmet Video Collection. This was a softcore movie where she only got nude along with a few other stars of the time. In 1978 she performed in another non-sexual role for the film "Sheer Panties" from Essex Video. The movie was mostly compilations from other hardcore film loops with the scene from Kitten added at the end. Then in 1979 she finally had her hardcore debut in the film "John Holmes and the All-Star Sex Queens" from Zane Entertainment Group. She appears in two scenes in this movie along with Kelly Stewart, Uschi Digart and John Holmes. The three ladies take turns sucking and fucking John until a multiple facial cumshot ends it.
Kitten was still working in strip clubs and on stages while doing her adult film work. She had come up with a very popular and still imitated routine where she would bathe in a giant champagne glass while the song "Splish Splash" played. She would soap up and caress her big tits and at the end of the routine would sometimes invite a couple of guys to help her towel off. Some of her other private jobs included celebrity bachelor parties and gatherings where she would go nude or topless. At this point she had broken up with Meyers and was on her own again. She has appeared in several rock videos and even made some appearances in movies like "Airplane!" and "Airplane! II: The Sequel." In those comedy films she was featured as the big breasted girl who's tits were bouncing around while the planes experienced turbulence.
In 1999 she had to make the decision to have a double mastectomy due to cancer. It was later discovered that the silicone used in the implants that she'd gotten in Mexico was of an industrial grade. Since then, she has had proper implants done and is close to her original bust size. She was included with several other popular female pornstars in a movie about John Holmes called "Wadd: The Life and Times of John C. Holmes" which was produced by VCA studios in 2001. Kitten has been popular all through her career and worked as recently as 2009 in a film called "Mommy Knows Best" from Venus Girls Productions.
Kitten Natividad was inducted into the Legends of Erotica Hall of Fame in 2008. Since retiring from performing on stage and in movies, she spends her time managing her fan club and even doing phone sex calls.

Check Out This Fedex Commercial Featuring the "Most Dangerous Band in the World"
Some metal heads may see this FedEx commercial as hinting that metal bands are fake and be offended by it but I don't see it that way at all. In fact, me and my headbanging brothers kid around all the time about this sort of thing. For instance, can you imagine Glen Benton walking out of a 7-11 with a Slurpee? I bet it's happened. Let's face it, underneath the leather and spikes are a bunch of normal people who do very normal things like play golf and go fishing. So if you ask me the person who came up with this commercial isn't painting a negative stereotype at all. Instead they're having a little fun with the fact that headbangers aren't all doom and gloom all the time.

So I've been admitted to two different part time MBA programs. One of the programs is very highly rated and the cost is roughly 90k for the 3 years it would take me. The other program offered me a partial scholarship, which would bring the total cost of the program down to roughly 50k, but is not as highly rated although it is well thought of locally. Has anyone been in a similar situation or anyone that has recieved their MBA have feedback on cost vs. school ranking?
Thanks in advance.

A new audio interview with legendary vocalist Paul Rodgers (FREE, BAD COMPANY, THE FIRM), conducted by Tori Thomas of WZZO in Allentown, Pennsylvania, has been posted online in two parts: Part#1, Part#2.Eagle Rock EntertaiDment released Paul Rodgers' debut solo DVD ($14.98) "Live In Glasgow" on May 29 and CD ($13.98) on April 17.
"Live In Glasgow", recorded in October of 2006 on the last date of his sold-out U.K. tour (which included a date at London's prestigious Royal Albert Hall), is stunning proof that Rodgers' voice has gained strength and sounds stronger than ever. This 135-minute DVD, shot with 13 cameras, includes brand new songs "Warboys (A Prayer for Peace)" and "Far Distant Shore", as well as songs he has not performed in 35 years, and many of his hits, including "All Right Now", "Feel Like Making Love" and "Can't Get Enough". Soulful, bluesy, swaggering, he belts out his songs, and also plays piano and guitar. The band: guitarist Howard Leese (HEART), bassist Lynn Sorenson, drummer Ryan Hoyle (COLLECTIVE SOUL) and 17-year old guitar prodigy Kurtis Dengler. As previously reported, Paul Rodgers has signed on to headline a police memorial benefit concert. The event will be held June 13 at The Avalon in Los Angeles, with long-time L.A. radio legend Jim Ladd acting as the emcee, and Rodgers will be backed by the group HEAVEN & EARTH. The bill also includes the all-female AC/DC tribute band THUND-HER-STRUCK, as well as an acoustic performance by singer-guitarist Mark Castrillon. Standard tickets run $50. VIP passes that include an after-party with a meet-and-greet cost $100. The performers have all donated their time, and all proceeds will go to the Los Angeles Police Memorial Foundation, which provides assistance to the families of slain and injured police officers.

im on ssi and medicaid im also on 24/7 care given to me bymy...
I'm on SSI and Medicaid. I also need 24/7 care, which is given to me by my ex-husband. How do I go about getting him paid to be my caregiver in the state of Indiana? Does he need special classes or go to school for this? He has been my care giver for over a year now. I am skitzophrenic and can not have just any one around me so hiring an outsider is imposible.
Expert Answers
The Indiana Health Coverage Program (IHCP) operates Medicaid and related programs in Indiana which provide assistance with medical and long-term care for people with low incomes and few assets. Part of the IHCP is Home and Community Based Waiver Programs that pay reimbursement for reasonable and necessary medical care for persons who qualify for Medicaid and who would need to move to a nursing home if they did not receive sufficient care in the home. One of these waiver programs is the Aged and Disabled Waiver (A&D), which can provide an alternative to nursing facility admission for Medicaid eligible persons over the age of sixty-five (65), and persons of all ages with disabilities.It provides support to supplement informal home care for persons who would need nursing facility care if these services were not available. The services available through this waiver are designed to help people remain in their own homes. Some programs like this provide respite care and other forms of assistance directly to caregivers.
To find out whether you might qualify for the Indiana waiver program, or some similar Indiana state-sponsored program, and whether that program could provide some payment directly to your ex-husband as your caregiver, you need to contact the IHCP directly at the phone number provided on the IHCP Web site (above).

LONDON — British Prime Minister Gordon Brown on Monday survived the most serious test of his leadership, offering his critics a humbling promise to improve after his governing Labor Party suffered its worst electoral results in a century.
Brown made a rare admission of his failings in a speech to a private meeting of hundreds of Labor lawmakers from both houses of Parliament — a move that appeared to have halted a rebellion that had threatened his ouster.
Repeated cheers could be heard from the meeting.
"There was a massive show of unity," Culture Secretary Ben Bradshaw said. "He made the speech of his life."
Rebels need 71 of Labor's 350 lawmakers to offer backing to a challenger to Brown to trigger a leadership contest — a figure that appears out of their reach after only about six dissidents spoke against Brown at the meeting.
"I have my strengths and I have my weaknesses, I know I need to improve. There are some things I can do well, some things I do not so well. I've learnt that you've got to keep learning all the time," Brown told the meeting, according to a text of his speech supplied by his office.
It leaves Brown almost certain to survive calls for him to quit and means he will likely lead the party into an election that must be held by June 2010.
Brown had faced loud calls to quit from a group of dissident Labor lawmakers after more than a dozen resignations from his government over the last week and poor results in elections to local councils and the European Parliament on Sunday.
His Labor Party finished third in Britain in voting for representatives to the European Parliament. The results, announced Sunday, were Labor's worst in a nationwide vote since 1910 — showing the damage wreaked by a scandal over lawmakers' excessive expense claims.

You will be amazed at the precise detail and excellent soundstage produced by the Omaha 300B. It reproduces a vast sense of space with a wide and deep forum. Beautiful in appearance, the 300B tube integrated amplifier represents a sonic miracle of sorts. It represents the perfect amplifier for listeners who wish to connect emotionally with their favorite music.
The chassis is constructed from the non-magnetic alloy to prevent anomalies caused by any magnetized areas. Omaha incorporates high quality printed boards and components which are designed for high-end audio applications. Point-to-Point wiring ensures shortest path to critical parts.
The Omaha 300B integrated amplifier uses a pair of 300B (300b-98) power tubes that operate as a single-ended triode (SET) and delivers up to 10 watts per channel. The 300B triode is an excellent output tube with remarkable sound. First introduced by Western Electric in 1935, the 300B continues to be very popular with audiophiles around the world. These tubes have low distortion and are used in high-end audio amplifiers designed to achieve high sonic performance.
Until now, the high cost of a 300B SET amplifier, sets these types of fine audio products out of the reach of many. The Omaha 300B is designed to produce superb accuracy in sonic reproduction, excellent soundstage at an affordable price.
Whether you are just starting and want a superior, but affordable SET integrated to build a high performance system around; or you already own an ultra high-performance system and would like to explore what's possible on modestly priced SETs, you will not be disappointed with the Omaha 300B. This is a winner!
I noticed the intricate machined prototype footers beneath the Omaha tube integrated amplifier and the conversation quickly shifted to vibration absorption, as this happens to be a favorite pursuit of my own. The Omaha OD-300B is a single ended triode integrated amplifier designed in the US and manufactured in China
It did a wonderful job powering the very handsome stand mounted loudspeakers that were also an Omaha Audio prototype
Much as we love expensive gear that we (and perhaps you) can dream about, we also like to run across affordable products that can make real music. That's the case of the Omaha OD-300B, an inexpensive single-ended tube integrated amplifier. It was feeding a rather nice pair of stand-mounted speakers whose name we tried, without success, to make out. In fact, they are prototypes, and they are made by Omaha
Omaha made their debut only four months ago, at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show, and so are still a lesser-known quantity in hi-fi circles. After visiting their room and seeing their product line, I dont imagine this situation will last long. One of Omahas smartest-looking pieces was their sleek OD-300B, a single-ended-triode (SET) integrated amplifier that employs a pair of 300B vacuum tubes to produce 10Wpc.
Omaha Heat.T TPosted Sat May 12, 2007, 7:17 PM ET By Wes PhillipsT
Omaha was showing this nifty little 10 Wpc No.OD-300B integrated amplifier, which was driving Omaha's Omaha Speaker. Do I need to say that the No.OD300B uses a pair of 300B tubes? The system sounded warm and spacious. 10Wpc may not sound like much, but the Omaha speaker seemed comfortably driven. Fit' n 'finish was impressive.
Drafted 6/29/2007 4:48 PM By Sam Teling
I heard this integrated amplifier at Home Entertainment 2007 and, at that shows Ask the Editors session, advised showgoers to go hear it. This is w h a t s i n g l e e n d e d t r i o d e
( S E T ) t u b e sound is a l l about. The best value of vacuum tube amplifier in the world, claims the sales literature
One of the best, for sure.
Yes, the OD-300B could have had more resolution. The focus was slightly soft. I thought the top end a little closed inor topped off, if you will. But these are mere quibbles about an amplifier that is so affordableand musical.
Its about palpable presence. Having the performers in the room with you. SET can get the music closer to you, so that you are closer to the music. Its not so much that youre there; the musicians are here. In the room with you.
Highly recommended!
This amplifier would be excellent for folks with slightly bright systems or listening rooms, or with other components that perhaps make the music sound "etched". It is also suitable for systems with monitors and separate subwoofers, as well as single driver speaker systems where the speakers themselves do not go to the lowest octaves. Given its combination of price, aesthetics, quality build, and overall sonics, I strongly recommend the OD-300B. Akhilesh Bajaj

i feel ignorant!
- 11 Replies
I don't think your ignorant. To me, ignorance is the context that it is being used in these posts, is the attitude that people who spout racist, homophobic or ethnocentric opinions without giving a second thought to the possibility that what they are saying is wrong.
Everyone has to start somewhere and having not been exposed to certian culture, not having asked the questions or had the convesations yet but being open to learning and having the desire to expand your opinions and education on a subject is not being ignorant.
This is a great website to get you started.
I admire your ability to admit that you still have things to learn, and that sets a great example for teaching your children not to be racist, ignorant, ass hats :)
You are not ignorant love.
Honestly, in todays society, nobody REALLY knows about another race.
never feel stupid for wanting to know.:)
Watch these documentaries:
A Girl Like Me (2007), directed by Kiri Davis, explores the way racial stereotypes influence the self-image of African American young women and children. Davis interviews teenage black women about their experience with racialized standards of beauty, and replicates the Kenneth Clark Doll Test, to show how black girls and boys to this day associate whiteness with beauty and virtue and blackness with ugliness and vice.
Ethnic Notions (1986), directed Marlon Riggs, is an hour-long documentary on the history of demeaning black stereotypes and cultural representations, in film, music, and kitsch art, and advertising. It explains how mass media's images of African Americans perpetuate racism.
Race: The Power of An Illusion (2003), directed by Christine Herbes-Summers, is a series that investigates race as a political economic construction. It seeks to dispel the misconception that race is a biologically valid concept, and replace it with an investigation of race as a means of furthering and perpetuating white privilege.
Revolution '67 (2007), directed Marylou Tibaldo-Bongiorno, documents the race riots in Newark, New Jersey in the summer of 1967. To illuminate the events and surrounding historical circumstances, the film employs archival footage and first person accounts from Newarks' citizens, as well as community leaders, civil rights activists, government officials, policemen, and national guardsmen. Revolution '67 investigates the role of law enforcement, and the combination of social, political, economic, and racial dynamics that provoked the riots.
Review this : http://www.history.com/topics/black-history-month
Also, watch Black in Latin America documentary on PBS http://www.pbs.org/wnet/black-in-latin-america/
very interesting, especially when they explore racism in Brazil.
Maybe you should even ask some of your Black relatives about their experiences with discrimination.
I think we should worry less about what it is like to be a different color and worry more about the individual. Not every black person has the same experience.
all of these race post I find very disturbing,not because people are racist,there are alwas going to be some. It is the fact that they are justfiying racism with racism. If you want to be racist fine, but don't tell me that you are racist because all black people are racist. I only use that example because that is the one that everyone throws out. But the fact is that all black people aren't racist....are some? Of course they are...just like some white people are, but I would never say that all white people are so I was going to be disrespectful to all white people....
I just don't understand the need to be so hateful.

When the Kansas Legislature convenes, the number one topic for residents of the Shawnee Mission School District often revolves around school finance. The 2013 session is no exception. But it can be a challenge to stay on top of the fast pace of the legislative action.
All of the northeast Johnson County legislators — Sen. Kay Wolf and Reps. Barbara Bollier, Melissa Rooker and Stephanie Clayton — have taken pro-education positions in support of adequate funding for Shawnee Mission schools. Parents attending the SM East PTA meeting this week were reminded of the friendly legislative stances, but also given some tips on how to stay plugged in to what is happening in Topeka relative to education bills.
Here are some links, courtesy of Mary Sinclair, a Shawnee Mission parent and the PTA's legislative chair in the district. In addition to these, the four legislators are sharing an update column that appears on shawneemissionpost.com every Monday morning.

Paint Touch-up Repair Tips
Since trading my 1988 IROC in on my 1996 WS6 Trans Am in '99, I've taken excellent care of my new ride. I've been very impressed with the Zaino products, especially the clay and its ability to remove dirt and contaminants.
Frequently, though, many older cars, like thirdgens, have paint damage that the clay will not remove. Also, many times there are rock chips, nicks and various other scratches that take their toll on the whole look of the car over time. I recently backed into a concrete pole with my Trans Am. Luckily, it did no more than cause a couple of dozen small nicks in the driver's side corner of the bumper. The damage was nowhere near enough to justify a re-paint, but it made me sick to look at it. I solicited some touch-up tips from Matt98SS and Chuck Everly. The following is what I learned in the process of repairing the nicks.
2000 grit sandpaper-this is very important….I wouldn't recommend anything more abrasive…the higher the number, the finer the paper. You can usually find 2000 grit at Wal-Mart with the touch up paints.
Correct color touch up paint-I had a hard time finiding the right match for my Arctic White paint. I won't go into this in detail, just try to find your paint code, match it up with a touch up color, and test it first to see how it matches.
Clear coat touch up paint-this is found wth the other touch-up colors in the display at Wal-Mart or auto parts stores.
3M Fine Cut Rubbing Compound-also found at Wal-Mart. This is good stuff, puts the shine back on after wetsanding.
3 or 4 fine tipped art paint brushes-the brush that comes in the touch-up paint bottle is too big for any accurate work.
Spray bottle filled with soapy water, or other method to lubricate sand paper during wet sanding.
Begin by washing the affected area. You will want to use dish soap to help remove any wax you have on the area. If you are a Zainophile, use the clay next to get remaining polish off the area.
Next, use one of the art brushes to apply small amounts of paint to each of the nicks or marks. My incident had gouged the paint all the way to the plastic of the bumper, so the dark color of the plastic didn't help me in my color matching. After you've hit all the spots you want, go back and re-apply, being sure to fill in the spots. Don't use too much paint or your drying times will be extended.
Wait for the paint to dry, then whip out the sand paper. Spray the area down with your lubricant mixture and use a small square of sandpaper to slowly go over the painted areas. What you want to do is sand down each spot until it is smooth to the touch. The correct method should sand off any over-paint that you may have gotten on the "good" paint, leaving only the paint you placed in the nick/spot. Be sure to keep the area nice and wet with lube, and turn the paper often to be sure you're sanding with a clean piece.
After wetsanding, dry the area with a cloth towel. The next step is to repeat the process all over again, this time with emphasis on making sure you get the spots filled with paint. Let dry, wet sand, etc.
OK, so you've now done 2 paint/sand steps. Now, you are going to do it a third time, but this time you are going to apply the clear coat instead of the paint. You can be a little more generous with the clear, since you want to get it filled in and smooth. Be sure to clean your brushes with turpentine or use a new brush each time you paint.
After letting the clear coat dry ( you may want to give it extra time beyond what you gave the color, you want to make absolutely sure its dry), wet sand the clear coat. Again, you want sand until excess clear is removed and the spot is smooth to the touch.
After final wet-sanding, dry the area, then get out your 3M Rubbing Compound. Using a cloth towel or a wax applicator pad, apply small amounts to the whole area and work it around. This stuff is abrasive, but its designed for very fine scraches. Its also good for swirl marks. After working the rubbing compound, remove it like you would wax or polish. You should be left with a smooth, shiny finish. Now you are ready to put on your favorite wax or polish and enjoy your car.
I didn't have perfect results, the dark plastic of the bumper made the touch-ups a little dark, but it looks 100% better than the black gouge marks that were there before.
The 3M compound is also great for removing black grime "stains" from the painted areas under the hood. Also great for removing swirl marks and water spots that the Zaino clay can't pull out. Also removes the dark hairline scratches that white cars tend to get.
If you are timid about paint work, test your skills out on a hidden area like the bottom of a rocker panel or inside a door jam. Good Luck.

Yes, completely sound theory. But the point is, the mapping is not linearly done anymore - three years ago, conversion was linear for most raw converters. It's not anymore - LR and ACR have been non-linear ever since the second generation camera profile with 3D HueSatMap and Look tables that enabled "hue twists" came in. C1 don't publicly document their pipeline, but almost certainly they're the same.Sandy
If camera response is linear, what is the point of nonlinear color correction in raw converters?
The camera sensor and ADC converter are almost linear (small non linearties are unavoidables).But your vision is logarithmic, that's why gamma correction exist !
That is a common misconception, but accurate reproduction of a scene requires a 1:1 relationship between input and output. The application of gamma allows recording and processing in a perceptually uniform way and requires fewer bits than linear encoding. However, the gamma encoding is reversed for viewing so that the output is linear. Gamma correction is somewhat of a misnomer--one should use the term gamma encoding.
The camera sensor and ADC converter are almost linear (small non linearties are unavoidables).But your vision is logarithmic, that's why gamma correction exist !And yes in the low lights and high lights, there are tint shift, and gamut variation.So, converting RAW data to a jpg file is not an easy task !!
Sensors are (mostly) linear, but human vision and subjective preferences are not.
Gamma exists partly due to the native response of CRT displays, and partly because it maps noise/distortion in a perceptually uniform manner.
These two images display correctly thanks to the software (Photoshop is interpreting the 2.2 gamma of the image on the left, and the 1.0 gamma of the image on the right), which is sending to the output video devices the appropiate values for correct rendering
21. Should I do image processing operations on linear or nonlinear image data?If you wish to simulate the physical world, linear-light coding is necessary. For example, if you want to produce a numerical simulation of a lens performing a Fourier transform, you should use linear coding. If you want to compare your model with the transformed image captured from a real lens by a video camera, you will have to "remove" the nonlinear gamma correction that was imposed by the camera, to convert the image data back into its linear-light representation.On the other hand, if your computation involves human perception, a nonlinear representation may be required. For example, if you perform a discrete cosine transform on image data as the first step in image compression, as in JPEG, then you ought to use nonlinear coding that exhibits perceptual uniformity, because you wish to minimize the perceptibility of the errors that will be introduced during quantization.The image processing literature rarely discriminates between linear and nonlinear coding. In the JPEG and MPEG standards there is no mention of transfer function, but nonlinear (video-like) coding is implicit: unacceptable results are obtained when JPEG or MPEG are applied to linear-light data. In computer graphic standards such as PHIGS and CGM there is no mention of transfer function, but linear-light coding is implicit. These discrepancies make it very difficult to exchange image data between systems.When you ask a video engineer if his system is linear, he will say Of course! - referring to linear voltage. If you ask an optical engineer if her system is linear, she will say Of course! - referring to linear luminance. But when a nonlinear transform lies between the two systems, as in video, a linear transformation performed in one domain is not linear in the other.
There is absolutely no need of gamma per se applied to digital images. ... Today, in digital imaging, gamma is only needed because integer formats are still the most widely used.
Indeed, but I think the question is where should the software become nonlinear ... shouldn't this initial exposure map take place in the linear domain?
Digital imaging is not a small term applied to only acquisition stage. Gamma, essentially a non-linearity of a certain type, is used for several reasons in digital images, including compression.
Yup, all you need is a profile to define that condition and it previews fine.
Of course after the initial EC to get the histogram in the right rendering range, all sorts of nonlinear transformations may help achieve a better rendering, but shouldn't this initial exposure map take place in the linear domain?
Compression of the RGB data is not necessary when a floating point format is used. Can you speak about those reasons for which gamma is used?
Like Eric Chan said - "Sensors are (mostly) linear, but human vision and subjective preferences are not."Non-linear processing is intended to give results that are perceptually "better"Sandy
There is absolutely no need of gamma per se applied to digital images. The correct mapping of the RGB values so that they display right can be done in software, in the output device (monitor plus video card), or both working together....Gamma exists because of the original output devices (basicall CRT's) non linear behaviour, and has no relation to the way human vision works. To correctly mimic real life, any imaging system must be linear end to end. If gamma exists at some point, is to compensate an inverse non-linearity somewhere else into the system, and this has no relation to the way we perceive light.
Television is usually viewed in a dim environment. If an imagess correct physical intensity is reproduced in a dim surround, a subjective effect called simultaneous contrast causes the reproduced image to appear lacking in contrast, as demonstrated above. The effect can be overcome by applying an end-to-end power function whose exponent is about 1.1 or 1.2. Rather than having each receiver provide this correction, the assumed 2.5-power at the CRT is under-corrected at the camera by using an exponent of about 1⁄ 2.2 instead of 1⁄ 2.5. The assumption of a dim viewing environment is built into video coding
I think that you are all mixing different things. Producing an XYZ-space "image" is not so much perception, but mathematics, I believe. dcraw does no strange stuff in producing XYZ. Now, after getting rid of camera quirks and having an image this is somewhat "absolutely referred" (within sensor limits, and on a normalized perceptual basis), it is time to make it "look good". That is when all of the proprietary stuff (that e.g. Adobe would apply to all cameras, since it has a generic representation in XYZ-space). Am I not right?-h

I took a little time yesterday and tried my darndest to sort out some of the digital mess that is Midnight Sun. Was I successful? Meh. But hopefully I made things a little easier to find ...
Because we're all working with Stone Age blog software, it took some time. But I've been able to round up some of our recent features and give them their own categories. For example, there is now a category for the Commenters' Choice Awards, which has all of the 'What's the best neighborhood bar' surveys in it.
There's also a new category with all of Owl Meat's blogs in it. I called it Owl Meat's Tipsy Tuesdays, but it also has all of the guest posts he did while I was away.
And I'm in the process of putting all Virgin Mobile Festival-related posts under the new Virgin Mobile Festival category.

Although unifying the Menifee school district as a kindergarten-through-12th-grade system is still likely years away, officials are taking steps to make the transition smoother.
Talks have been in the works for more than two decades to add a high school to the Menifee Union School District, which educates children in kindergarten through eighth grade.
To complete the move, Paloma Valley High School would be transferred from the Perris Union High School District into the Menifee district.
Perris has bought land to build a high school in south Menifee which, when completed, would become part of the new district, as well.
The plan for unification was put on hold two years ago because it did not meet all of the state criteria for completing the process and because of the sour economy.
Menifee meets six of the nine criteria for unification.
The districts fall short when it comes to, financing, racial balance and a difference in standardized test scores.
Still, whenever the superintendents of the districts speak of unification, they say "it's not if, it's when."
The Perris board approved amendments to the unification agreement Wednesday that will allow that district to refinance bonds that are part of the deal.
Menifee trustees will vote on the same proposal Tuesday.
"The preunification agreement is in need of some modifications," Menifee Union Superintendent Linda Callaway said. "Both districts have worked very cooperatively and collaboratively on this."
"It actually improves the document we originally did with the Menifee district," Perris Superintendent Jonathan Greenberg said during Wednesday's meeting.
Frequent board critic Jackie McDonald, who often expresses opinions that Menifee is favored over the rest of the district, questioned the agreement, but Greenberg assured her that both districts agreed to the changes.
"This gives both districts a little more freedom they need to educate their children," Greenberg said. "It's not a green light for unification."
A formal unification agreement was signed in 2007 that laid out how the property and debt would be divided between the districts.
The original agreement was made in anticipation of the unification process being completed in a short time frame. Because that hasn't happened, the amendments are being considered.
To make unification more feasible, the agreement states that Perris needs more space to house students.
After transferring Paloma to Menifee, the high school district would be left with Perris and Heritage high schools, along with Pinacate Middle School and some alternative schools.
The amended agreement would allow Perris to refinance a bond, a move that wasn't allowed under the original agreement.
That money then could be used for school expansion or construction.
Perris must refinance the bond by January, because the bank backing the bond has said it will not renew its letter of credit, according to a staff report.
"The amendment meets the needs of both districts, does not alter the spirit of the intent of the original agreement, and identifies and adds events that occurred subsequent to 2007," the agreement states.
If unification is completed, Menifee Union would be dissolved and a new governing board elected. Perris would replace its board members who live within Menifee's boundaries.
Today, four of five Perris trustees live in Menifee, but that's likely to change as the district transitions from at-large elections to votes by trustee districts next year.

The silence of empty streets welcomes you. Metal and machines fill the lonely halls, and a growing mystery lurks behind a shroud of steam. Can you uncover what happened to the inhabitants of this ancient island? Gear up for a steam-powered adventure you will never forget!
These pictures are collected in your Poptropica photo album in the profile section. Click to enlarge.
- Steamworks Island is Poptropica's 14th island. It was released to members on August 12, 2010 and September 9, 2010 for non-members.
- The island is inspired by steampunk, a sub-genre of science fiction featuring steam-powered machinery.
- Common room: Steamworks Gear Shop
- From July 16-30, 2010, members who logged in received a Steamworks Mech Pilot costume.
- In Sully's Steam-Powered Paraphernalia, there's a model of the Poptropica blimp.
- At the Hub, there's a ball-tilting maze game similar to the classic wooden box Labyrinth game.
- The quiet atmosphere of this island means you will seldom interact with, or even come across, other characters.
- The name of the mechanical companion who follows you is called Sprocket, which is also the name of a wheel-like object found in machinery.
- When you ring the bell to wake Sprocket inside Sully's, it will make an audible "ding" noise.
- On the blackboard in the greenhouse, it says "Hazmat was here" – probably in reference to Poptropica Creator alias Hazmat Hermit.
- One of the questions you can ask Sprocket after he becomes more talkative is what he does for fun. He'll say he's been writing his autobiography and wants to call it I, Robot – which could be a reference to several works.
- We're told the inhabitants of Steamworks Island have been frozen for 200 years, which calculated from present time would mean around the time of the Industrial Revolution, when all this steam technology would have been rampant.

Demetri just left a question in our comments that's probably worth answering in a post; I'm sure other folks could use this "tip" on the Tablet Input Panel (TIP). Here's Demetri's question:
"I am unable to fill out gmail with the TIP. Does anyone have a "tip" on enabling the TIP in gmail?"
It's not just Gmail where this issue occurs in my experience. Various text fields have just stayed blank on me when I try to insert handwritten text from the TIP. Turns out, there's a setting that's tucked away in XP to solve the problem, so you'll want to check here first.
Hit up your Control Panel in XP and then tap on "Regional and Language Options". You should see three tabs: tap the second tab, titled "Languages":
Tap the "Details" button to see the "Text Services and Input Languages" dialog that shows you the installed advanced text service features:
Choose the second tab here, it's called "Advanced":
The first checkbox activates advanced text services, ink in this case, for programs that normally wouldn't support it. Make sure this box is checked and ensure that the second checkbox is not checked. Click OK, which might prompt for a system reboot. One you've rebooted, give Gmail another try!

The game first nudges you toward the new content when various strangers remark to you that a new group called The Dawnguard is looking for recruits to help hunt down vampires. After the first quest, though, you're given the option to side with the creatures instead.
Honestly, I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't. Especially once they see what being a vampire means: you get to transform into the uber-badass Vampire Lord form.
Along with powers to become invisible, enchant NPCs, raise powerful dead allies, and detect nearby creatures in your normal form, you can transform into the floating, winged monster on a whim and gain a host of additional powers and attacks, plus a whole new skill tree to master.
You'll move faster in this form, as well, although the downside is being out in sunlight stunts your magicka, health and stamina.

The World's Best Restaurants awards this week named El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, the world's best restaurants. Commiserations to repeat winner Noma in Copenhagen, which this year now be content with being the world's second best restaurant.
The list is compiled from the votes of over 900 international restaurant-industry experts, with an interpretation of what constitutes 'best' left to their discretion. Although fine-dining restaurants make up the majority of the list, the panel is welcome to include any eatery that provides a suitably impressive dining experience. Their choices combine to form the aforementioned list, the contents of which are always the subject of intense debate, not to mention a surge in bookings for venues newly added to the countdown.
Based in the cities they write about, Telegraph Travel's destination experts have also compiled detailed lists of the best restaurants in their jurisdictions. We round up some of their favourites here, along with restaurant recommendations from some of the world's most celebrated chefs.
The world's best restaurants, by Raymond Blanc
Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse; Monaco
This restaurant in the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo is extremely luxurious, it's like Versailles. The dining experience isn't overwhelmed by the room's grandeur, however. Service is wonderful and the food is absolutely brilliant. Alain Ducasse is probably the chef with the greatest understanding of Mediterranean cuisine at the highest level.
The Fat Duck; Bray
Heston Blumenthal has been instrumental in redefining gastronomy and The Fat Duck is a wonderful restaurant. Dishes are highly creative and show his great sense of humour. I always have a wonderful time here.

The world's best restaurants, by Wolfgang Puck
Steiereck; Vienna
Steiereck is probably the best restaurant in Vienna, and although it's inventive it still serves great traditional Austrian cuisine too. If you're in Vienna this is where you take a person you want to impress. The interior is beautiful, elegant and modern and so is the location; it's in a large park that is similar to Hyde Park in London.
Matsuhisa, Los Angeles
Open for over 27 years, Matsuhisa is like wearing a great cashmere sweater – it's always good, it's always nice, it's always comfortable. Service is friendly, the vibe is unpretentious and the fish here is as fresh as can be.

The world's best restaurants, by Heinz Beck
D.O.M., Sao Paulo
This is one of Brazil's most famous restaurants, due to its chef Alex Atala. His menu draws from local produce, including ingredients from the Amazon, that you won't find served anywhere else. It's fresh, contemporary and glamorous.
Jean-Georges, New York
The cuisine here is French with American and Asian influences, an interesting combination which means there are plenty of surprises. The restaurant itself features huge windows overlooking Cnetral Park – it's bright, airy, clean and very chic.
Jean-Georges' Maine ruby shrimp and sea urchin, green chili and lime

Edinburgh's best restaurants, by destination expert Helen Pickles
Smart but understated Ondine specialises in seafood, served without fuss and to a high standard. Best seats in the stylish restaurant are found at the oyster bar or a table by the wraparound windows.
Restaurant Martin Wishart
Michelin-starred Restaurant Martin Wishart is one of Leith's most popular restaurants. Cooking is classic, French and precise – always excellent and not influenced by temporary fads. Service, too, is superb.

Hong Kong's best restaurants, by destination expert Fionnuala McHugh
City Hall Maxim's Palace
Admittedly Maxim's may not be the absolute best place for dim sum in Hong Kong – a highly contested accolade – but it's the most loved. Always buzzing and fun, it serves a classic Cantonese assortment of the small snacks but waiters are on hand to guide tourists through the more unusual sections of the menu.

Istanbul's best restaurants, by destination expert Terry Richardson
Specialising in Ottoman favourites, this stylish period restaurant is located by the impressive Kariye Museum, about three miles from Sultanahmet. Try 'the Sultan likes it', a stew of lamb served on puréed aubergine.
A consistently reliable option among the bistro-style eateries found in Sultanahmet, Amedros serves dishes ranging from Ottoman-revivalist to truly international. A relaxed atmosphere, attentive service and hearty portions set it apart.

London's best restaurants, by destination expert Sophie Campbell
Dinner by Heston Blumenthal
This light-filled restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental hotel serves reinterpreted historic British dishes, such as 18th-century Salmagundy (chicken salsify, marrow bone). A fascinating dining experience with charming service.
Wild Honey
An affordable option, tiny restaurant Wild Honey serves thoughtful seasonal food and a wine list so extensive you'll wonder where they keep it all.
Read Sophie Campbell's complete guide to London's best restaurants, and her London city guide, here.
Madrid's best restaurants, by destination expert Annie Bennett
Ramon Freixa Madrid
In the exquisitely stylish setting of the Hotel Único, Michelin-starred Ramon Freiza serves modern, inventive Spanish dishes that use the best of the country's produce.
A long-established record breaker, Botín is officially the oldest restaurant in the world – it dates back to 1725. The food is just as much a draw as that accolade, however, with roast lamb and suckling pig sample specialities. Try to get a table in the vaulted cellar.

New York's best restaurants, by destination expert Douglas Rogers
The Lamb's Club
Geoffrey Zakarian's bar and grill serves clubby classics such as Cobb Salads and Prime Delmonico Steak to diners seated in plush red leather banquettes. It's a glamorous new address set just off the lobby at the Chatwal Hotel.
Prime Meats
A 19th-century, German-American eatery, Prime Meats is drawing droves of New York foodies to its Brooklyn abode. The pork belly and braised beef brisket in red cabbage are out of this world.

Singapore's best restaurants, by destination expert Evelyn Chen
Restaurant Andre
Restaurant Andre is run by chef Andrew Chiang, who trained with French culinary luminaries such as Pierre Gagnaire and Joel Robuchon. His tasting menu often includes 12 courses and demands a three-hour dining time – with just 30 covers accommodated in the restaurant, you'll often need to book a month in advance to eat here.
Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton, of London's Pollen Street Social, has made Esquina his first Singapore outpost. The 15-seat tapas bar is a buzzy spot in Chinatown's red light district. Come early to beat the queue as reservations are not permitted.

Tokyo's best restaurants, by destination expert Danielle Demetriou
Kanda restaurant has three Michelin stars and eight seats so it can be hard to get a reservation here. It's worth trying though – the freshest-cut sushi is found here, as well as mountain vegetables, served as prettily as a haiku.
Nihonryori Ryugin
Its website advises diners to be "sensible" about the perfume they were, lest it disturb their appreciation of the food. Another three Michelin starred restaurant, it serves complicated culinary delights from charbroiled wild eel to experimental fruit desserts.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Croydon, Surrey, United Kingdom, 2007/05/04 - A growing number of people are using the internet to research or book a holiday online, and even those who are reluctant to book online are still using the internet to research their holiday plans.
A growing number of people are using the internet to research or book a holiday online, and even those who are reluctant to book online are still using the internet to research their holiday plans. Research conducted by Nielsen/NetRatings revealed that 17% of people research online before going on to book over the phone and only 7% are now researching & booking their holidays in the high street.
This is evidence that the internet is trusted as a more reliable research tool, in large part thanks to the amount of impartial information available and the convenience of having it all available in one place.
As Thomson Holidays confirm that its online bookings are three years ahead of its predictions, with half of its own holidays and flights currently booked online and similarly 98% of all easyJet seats now being bought online, more people are discovering that the ease of internet booking is a convenient way to plan their holiday without causing unnecessary interruption to their daily lifestyle.
Sites that encourage user generated content are engaging consumers and bringing in millions of unique viewers daily, and with reviews written by past guests being one of the most influential sources of holiday planning, when it comes to researching holidays and finding the best advice people are going to sites like TripAdvisor, directline-holidays.co.uk and travelrants.com.
Top 20 holiday site* directline-holidays.co.uk now offer valuable & up-to-date information on a variety of holiday subjects including user-generated reviews, weather information and guides to popular attractions in each resort. directline-holidays.co.uk Director Matthew Flint explained why the top 20 travel agents feel it is necessary to offer these attributes:
Word of mouth has always been an important factor when making any purchase and booking a holiday is no different. Todays internet equivalent is sites that offer impartial advice. People are now expecting different things from the travel industry and want everything to be available in one place, if its not, then they will look elsewhere.
directline-holidays.co.uk have anticipated industry changes & are profiting from the effects by experiencing their most successful year to date.

iPhone 4s greyed out wifi
Hello, the Wi-Fi of my iPhone 4S is not working. When iOS 5.1.1 was installed, it worked for 1 month without any problems. Then it began to not work. After updating to iOS 6.0.1, it's completely greyed out: I can't even switch it on, and the weird part is that it's working after putting it in the freezer for 3-4 minutes. I'm preparing myself to repair it. I want to know which part should i replace? The Wi-Fi antenna flex cable or the schema at the top of iPhone next to the camera?
Is this a good question?
i drained battery by turning on flash light in camera settings, it got hot and turned off itself then i charged it and voila WIFI is back!!! but i dont know how long it will last :(
hi again, i opened my iphone 4s, and i saw on battery connector it has one missing screw, i ordered screw pack from ebay for 0.99$, if it solve my wifi issue i will tell you i hope it will help :(
Elvin, "its working after put it freezer for 3-4 minutes" points toward a fractured or cold solder joint, in your case possibly around the WiFI chip. You could try a reflow on that. If it would be software related, the freezer would not make any difference.
i put 4s in freezer for 5 minutes and wifi came back and start working
hey! i got the same case with y'all. you said "...after put it freezer for 3-4 minutes" you just put it on or you heated your iphone first? sorry for my bad english i hope y'all can understand.

A government-funded research study further endangered the lives of premature babies, and some parents claim that they didn't know. "I remember them telling me they were a support group who would pretty much hold my hand through the developmental process," says Sharrissa Cook, who gave birth to a critically ill baby boy just 25 weeks into her pregnancy. Her son, Dreshan, is now 7-years old and has myriad health problems. She thought she was doing what was best for her son, but it turns out that she played into the hands of some shady researchers.
In reality, the study was a national experiment on 1,316 extremely premature infants that more or less left their fate up to the figurative flip of a coin. The study, SUPPORT (Sufactant, Positive Airway Pressure, and Pulse Oximetry Randomized Trial), was conducted at 23 academic institutions from 2005 to 2009 under the National Institutes of Health (NIH), part of the Department of Human and Health Services (HHS). The goal of the study was to find the best oxygen levels for extremely preterm babies (born before 25 weeks). It is routine to provide supplemental oxygen to premies, but too much can result in severe eye damage and too little can lead to brain damage and death.
To identify the best level of oxygen, researchers arbitrarily assigned infants in the study to high or low levels of oxygen. Researchers argue that they were still giving the infants the same "standard of care" because the levels were within the limits of the generally accepted range. However, there was a crucial difference in babies who were in the study and those who were not.
Typically, medical personnel will constantly adjust the oxygen levels based on the individual premie's needs. The SUPPORT study was designed to keep the babies at their assigned level. In a move that shocked seasoned researchers when they learned of it, the oxygen monitors of the infants in the study were altered so that they would give false readings. This was done so that medical personnel wouldn't be tempted to adjust the oxygen levels to the individual needs of the infants.

Vallejo police on Sunday were investigating the city's sixth homicide of the year.
Officers responded to a report of a shooting at a house in the 400 block of Hichborn Street on the city's west side at about 5:20 p.m.
Arriving officers found an elderly man, with at least one gunshot wound, inside a detached garage, police said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police cordoned off the block to conduct the investigation. At one point, they also were seen taking two dogs and cats out of the residence.
Police have not released any more information, pending investigation. The victim's identity was also withheld pending notification of next of kin.
The homicide is also the second in a week, and the third in March. Most recently, Vincent Winnie, 24, of Benicia, was shot to death Thursday in the 1000 block of Caldwell Avenue.
Anyone with information related to the latest homicide are asked to call Detectives Raul Munoz and Fabio Rodriguez at 1(800)488-9383.

|Skip the contrived start (harder than 5.10a) past the 1st bolt and start from the arete to make this no harder than 5.8. So-so climbing along cracks and loose features all cobbled together to make it semi-solid. Not PG-13 and not worth repeating.

rating: 5.9 5c 17 VI 17 HVS 5a
I agree that this route is not PG13; it's bolted appropriately. However, I do think this route is definitely worth repeating. It involves slab climbing, short sections of crack climbing (finger and hand), and a little face climbing. For a short sport climb, it's a lot of fun!
Also, it seems like this would make a great gear lead as well; there appear to be tons of great gear placements throughout.

|This was my 5th lead ever. I only realized the danger of a fall from the crux after I was on it. It's not super dangerous but you'll feel it if you're a noob like me. I loved the ledges that created undulating terrain - nothing like gym climbing. I also loved the variation provided by all the finger, hand, and fist jams. The last ten feet or so are almost all crack climbing, including the steepest section. There is a good place to stand below the rap ring anchors, making this a good route for a noob like me to break into the 5.10 range. (Some guides call this a 5.9)

|I agree with Bowens, definitely worth a repeat. It has a pretty cool mix of styles for such a short route at the quarry. I've sport led it a couple times and trad led it once. It makes a really great trad lead for beginners since you can always chicken out and clip bolts. I also don't think it warrants the PG13 rating.
By James Roe

rating: 5.9 5c 17 VI 17 HVS 5a
|Lead this route today, and I have to say the only part that is remotely PG-13 is the silly start. Definitely not worth the weird mantle onto the initial slab section. Just start from the side. Pretty true to 5.9 in my mind, but maybe 5.9- because digging around reveals really solid holds for every section. I do like the variety that the route offers though. Would definitely do again!

Postmedia News reports on privacy advocates' concerns over data sharing between the U.S. and Canada. Since the 2011 Canada-U.S. Beyond the Border action plan, the two countries have shared biometric data on 756,000 border crossers considered third-country nationals and permanent residents. Next year, the data shared will expand to include all travelers. Advocates are concerned the data could be used for secondary purposes. "We have provided questions to Canada Border Services Agency seeking information on how personal information collected may be used and by what other federal organizations and for what possible secondary uses outside of monitoring travel and immigration," said a spokesman for Canada's privacy commissioner.

Centennial boys basketball coach Todd Allen wasn't pleased with his team's effort when the Bulldogs played Shadow Ridge on Dec. 17.
He was more than happy with the way his squad played Friday.
Centennial opened with a 21-6 run and rolled to a 79-57 win over the Mustangs in the semifinals of the White Division of the Foothill Holiday Classic.
"We played them a few weeks ago, and we came out really sluggish," Allen said. "We talked about coming out with good energy today and playing good defense."
The Bulldogs controlled the glass, outrebounding Shadow Ridge 22-14 in the first half and 42-25 in the game.
"We've been playing good defense and rebounding, and that's been our mainstay, and they did a real good job of that," Allen said. "We kind of got up on them early, and that helped us out."
Centennial didn't press much but showed an effective 2-2-1 look in the first half. The Bulldogs forced eight first-half turnovers, turning them into eight points.
Allen said the team was looking to work on the press to prepare for league play.
"Fortunately it worked out for us today where we were able to get some turnovers and some momentum," Allen said. "We're so long, if we can use our length better, we might be able to create some turnovers. Today, it worked out for us."
Troy Brown, a 6-foot-5-inch freshman guard, keyed the attack, using his length to get into the passing lanes and notch four steals. Brown finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds and two blocked shots despite spending the final 10 minutes on the bench after Allen turned to his reserves.
"Troy's been doing a lot of stuff for us," Allen said. "I'm really impressed with his rebounding. That's probably like his fifth or sixth double-double of the season for a freshman, (which is) kind of unheard of. He's finding the ball, which we need him to do, and I think it's rubbing off on everybody else."
Khalil Thompson had 15 points, five rebounds, six assists and three steals for Centennial, which plays Valhalla (Calif.) in the White final at 5 p.m. today at Foothill.
"It's all good," Allen said of advancing to the division championship. "Basketball is basketball. We just want to keep playing and get these kids some minutes so we can get ready for when it counts."
Garrett Scheer had 10 points, four rebounds and four assists for the Bulldogs.
Serph Decker had 17 points to lead Shadow Ridge. Cameron Berube scored 13 and Preston Echols 12 for the Mustangs.

This is an interesting new take on the Respect campaign from The FA. A lot more than a mere tip of the hat to the ultra-violent RoboCop film as well!
I am now wondering whether I should take a cuddly toy onto the pitch to hand to the next dissentful player. It would certainly get some sort of reaction.
