The vision of two fighter aircrafts engaged in war is a sufficient definition of agility.
The nimbleness, the dextrous manipulations, the speed of thought and near lightning reactions of the pilots - all are best fit for a definition of agility.
Agility, hitherto, in the software development communities, has been defined by the Agile manifesto. But, "Alistair Cockburn cautions that simply using iterations, user stories and velocity doesn't mean your project is agile - or on the way to success", Steve Adolph. But, Agile for Services, is meant for the Service Industry and therefore, by its very nature, demands a different definition. The lifecycle of a software development process is different to that of a Service process.
The service industry, having come into shape fairly late, is yet to have a proper structure defined for itself. Although, CMMI-SVC is taking shape and there is an ISO implementation, both are yet to actually happen. It is a natural conclusion that because the service industry is highly demanding, in terms of requirements that constantly take new shape, there is only one way to handle the swift changes in the requirements scenarios - imbibe agility into the process as well as the people within.
Having said that, being agile in a physically demanding secenario is different to a non-physical scenario where physical effort may not be necessary at all; so, where does the agility come from? Agility, as we all know, is not just about the physical reactions but also about mental preparedness. Therefore, the intangible elements that demand immediate attention and solution require mental dexterity. Having said that, it is not that a skilled chess player can be a great Agile player.
Unlike in a game of chess, where a Second is well capable of giving out permutations and combinations of a given move and the associated variations using analysis, the same cannot be done in a service industry, where the current scenario is always unique due to the influence of individuals and, therefore, reaction time is far lesser. It requires a highly tuned individual with experienced knowledge of the domain to actually instill the required agility into the process to maintain, increase the velocity of the process' reaction time.
The Service industry
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when the term "Services" comes to your mind? "Competition" would be the most likely answer. Therefore, the ability to provide service to the customer and, at the same time, keep an eye on the competition demands almost as much dexterity as the fighter pilots in a dog fight!
So, how does the service provider tune himself up to the likes of a fighter pilot when all the data and elements that he can work with are intangible? The answer is simple: agility.
Agility, to define with the help of Boyd's principles on OODA (we shall expand it in a little while), is the ability of a process or a team to rapidly respond to the needs with constant change as an implied parameter! Implicit guidance is a key to agility in a service scenario. The process is robust and therefore, the implicit guidance, in the form of constant and frequent feedback, is healthy and effective, as the feedback obtained is used to orient the existing process; the outputs from such orientation lead to decision making culminating in the ability to act ! This is what Boyd's principles on OODA (Observe-Orient-Decide-Act) is all about.
Services=Unfolding events
The chief factors in a service arena are
- Response Time to customer queries/requirements
- Constant monitoring of the status of queries/requirements
- Delivery
Each query/requirement of a customer may be unique. Therefore, no pre-conceived guidelines can have any significant impact on delivery.
"Agility, in this context, depends on keeping one's orientation better matched to the real world and actual requirements during times of ambiguity, confusion, and rapid change, when one's natural tendency is to become disoriented", Steve Adolph. This cannot be attained through on the spot decisions because, analysis cannot be performed on all the changing scenarios at all times, successfully. Here is where the implicit guidance comes in; implicit guidance, not in terms of individual skills or knowledge as in the case of Agile for software development, but, in terms of the process paving the way for quick decision making.
That there is constant change in the requirements of the current scenario in a service leads us to a foregone conclusion that agility is the only solution in the reckoning . For example, in a recent conference held at the NCR, each speaker had about 30 minutes to make his presentation. Some opted for QA session at the end of their presentation and others, took questions on the fly. With the latter case, it led to overflowing the time limit. In the presentation in which I was a reviewer, I oriented myself based upon the observations of the previous sessions. The previous speakers found that the passing of the mic from one questioner to another was consuming time and so I decided to take two actions - one, to pre-empt the direction of the questioners and two, to move faster between them! This ensured that the presentation took exactly the time that it was allotted with. Of course, not to take any credit away from the speaker's agility in tackling questions.
So, with this example in mind, it is fairly easy to conclude that the process areas of the service domain only serves as the guiding block while the people within the process are the real driving force.
It may be questioned as how to implement a process with agility in the perspective. Again, the solution is rather simple. Observation, which is the paramount activity of the service loop, described in the below image, can be directly mapped to the quality control activity of any work area. With strict quality control measures, where the observation points are, useful inputs can be obtained for the next activity in the loop - orientation. Existing service models may have incorporated this but, where Agile for Services, makes an impact is in introducing the agility into the process.
Implicit Guidance
The implicit feedback in the above figure, part of the delivery loop, is the constant observation that goes into the execution of the lifecyle of a service. This observation serves as the source for orientation of the response leading to actual data on which to decide and act.
"While agility is about using time for competitive advantage, it is not speeding up the loop by doing things faster because doing the wrong things faster is not a strategy for success", Boyd.
The agility, in this loop, is the faster response time between the various activities thereby, increasing the velocity, as well as the momentum of the loop. The volatility of the service environment requires a greater response time within the process and the agility with which the stakeholders of the process react!
Decision making, in any context, depends upon free flow of information and its correctness. Therefore, misinformation, compartmentalization, non-adaptability, alienation/isolation and fixed techniques can only lead to slowing down of the loop. Information has to be easily obtainable at all levels in the loop and visible at all levels to reduce friction in the loop and consequently, increase velocity and momentum of the process of delivery.
Observation Posts
Let us cast our mind back to the allegory of the two fighter pilots at dog fight and the parallel drawn with Service Providers. A good Service Provider always has an eye on the market and his competition and tunes and revs up his service accordingly. Quality not only gets noticed but is also appreciated.
Those who have travelled domestic, in India, would be able to associate with the following example.
Kingfisher Airlines (KA) is one of the new airlines in the Indian Aviation industry but has made such a telling impact, in such a short span of time, that competitors have begun to think out of the box in a great hurry. KA introduced the concept of ushers at the airport terminals, who would also double up as porters. For the uninitiated, this form of service is only showman stuff but the keener eye points to you the incredible effort in identifying a key factor in customer service - when the customer "thinks" of you, you are there with the service ready!
What does a passenger face with as soon as he reaches the airport? In most cases, it is "how do I get to the security counter?" and this is the moment that KA has so well identified and implemented in the form of the Ushers! The moment you reach the airport terminal and in your mind crosses the thought, "Hey, how do i find the KA counter?", there are these polite, well-clad ushers waiting for you anxiously and from that moment on you realise, "Yes, this is probably the best service that can be offered and has been offered in an Indian's flying experience!"
Let us relate this to OODA. The process makers of KA had clearly identified the point in the process workflow "when the customer first thinks of you as the service provider" and oriented its delivery process to include the Ushers! So, Observation and Orientation has happened here.
Orientation Points
How to apply orientation points in a process?
Orientation could be in the form of any tweaks that could lead to an improvement of the delivery loop. Feasibility study, effort estimation, offer making, requirements mapping to skills etc can all be direct recipients of orientation inputs.
One important point to note here is - "change". The evolution of technology and customer requirements have brought about the plethora of development methodologies that exist today and therefore, it should be a natural conclusion that old techniques existing within the lifecycle of these methodologies should also be revamped and renewed. For example, if time changes, time management techniques must as well change. What was applicable a decade back in time cannot be applicable to a decade later in time! Similarly, older techniques being used in newer and evolved methodologies must also be renewed and refined.
Let me now deviate from the OODA pattern and introduce the proposed delivery loop.

While this runtime will have substantial overlap with the traditional browser-based runtime environment, it will have some important differences, being focused on Web applications that integrate more strongly with the host platform rather than traditional hosted web sites. This working group differs from both the Web Applications Working Group and the Device APIs Working Group in that those working groups are focused on defining APIs that are safe to run in a browser environment.

Introducing ServInt's New Blog Server Line!
Yesterday we told you about SPORTSbyBROOKS, one of ServInt's most popular blogging customers.
If you didn't catch it, Brooks talked about the harrowing burst of traffic he experienced when he broke the infamous Tiger Woods story last November. After one phone call, ServInt built Brooks a custom solution that more than quintupled his previous resources, and we did it over Thanksgiving Day weekend!
So, needless to say, we have a great wealth of experience with high traffic blogs.
That's why we're excited to talk about our new Blog Server initiative! After consulting with our most popular blogging customers, we built the foundation of what we think will become the premiere blog servers in the world.
Our Blog Server line is a modification of our existing VPS, SuperVPS, and Solo Series products. They each feature the traditional LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack and come pre-loaded with cPanel/WHM. Most of the unique features of this line happen on the backend, making it even easier — not to mention faster — for us to upgrade VPS and SuperVPS customers with popular sites on the fly. This technology also allows us to further optimize the virtual environments on our Solo Series Dedicated servers which combine powerful Dedicated hardware with the flexibility of virtualization.
Because WordPress is the most popular blogging software in the world right now, we've rolled out our new line with WordPress in mind. New customers will receive a detailed, step by step instruction guide on getting set up with WordPress along with their server turn up information.
While WordPress is certainly the most popular application, it is by no means the only one. Our Blog Servers are fully compatible with competing software such as TypePad, and can also be loaded with apps like Drupal or Joomla should you prefer to grow your blog in a different direction.
The point is, the choice is yours. Try getting that level of flexibility from free blogs.
What we'd like to make clear with this announcement is that it is, at its core, a foundational addition to our products. ServInt's Blog Server line is proof of our ongoing commitment to what we believe to be the future of news and opinion on the web, and we're incredibly proud to be a part of that.
Check out ServInt.net/blog for more info!
Data Centers and Your Hosting Business
The data center is the most important tool in a web host's arsenal.
That might sound painfully obvious, and it is, but for those looking to get into this industry it's an important item to remember. Competitors brag about which bits of software they use to push product out the door but they often forget to mention the necessity of maintaining a powerful, scaleable, stay-in-business-able data center to actually store that information.
After our most recent expansion into ServInt LA, I thought I'd share a few insights into the choices we had to make when building our infrastructure to give folks a better understanding of our corporate goals as well as offer advice to those looking to get into the hosting biz.
Here goes.
More after the jump…
An Unlimited Credibility Gap
Years ago, the usual stomping grounds for those of us in the hosting industry took an interesting turn as shady fly-by-night hosting providers started using the term 'unlimited' to describe their product plans.
These companies offered 'unlimited' bandwidth or 'unlimited' disk space as an enticement for customers to buy their products. There was a strong negative reaction within the hosting community and a sincere attempt among responsible hosts to make it known that 'unlimited' plans lacked credibility.
Last week it was announced that 1and1, an industry peer who I like and respect, has joined Verio, another one of the good guys, in touting 'unlimited' hosting plans.
I thought we had learned better.
Anyone Else Notice that Microsoft Isn't Scary Anymore?
ServInt's hosting is based on CentOS, an open-source derivative of Red Hat Enterprise Linux that we've worked painstakingly on customizing over the years. We don't generally offer Microsoft products simply because they aren't as easy to deploy in our VPS and dedicated server implementation, and being new to this industry I simply assumed the same went for many if not most of our competitors and colleagues as well.
So I have to say I was honestly surprised last week when myself, Christian, Taylor, and Matt from ServInt all attended HostingCon at National Harbor, right across the river in Maryland, and I was first introduced to Microsoft's resurgent presence in hosting.
The show was my first in this industry, and it was a fun and enlightening experience. I found that hosting, as a whole, was quite healthy, and most companies were using the economy as an opportunity to drive innovation and development.
If people aren't buying the old, bring in the new.
Our good friend, Parallels Chairman and CEO Serguei Belloussov, gave the keynote last Monday outlining Parallels' various products for the upcoming year. He also announced that Parallels was working with Microsoft on a series of new products and product enhancements to better connect the Linux and Windows worlds.
I looked around, nervous.
Here was a room full of people who, like ServInt, have built successful companies out of primarily deploying Linux-based solutions, and not only were they talking openly about working with Microsoft, but the Microsoft and Parallels booths were right next to one another! What has the world come to?
The attitude had changed, it seems that Microsoft no longer had the reputation of being the giant evil behemoth it was once assumed to be. It's a softer, friendlier, and — dare I say — more open company today than it was just a few years ago.
Since 2007, Microsoft implemented open xml in Office 2007 (ironically leading to the famous injunction against Word last week), they open-sourced key linux drivers under the GPLv2, and they deployed the world's largest, longest, and arguably most successful open-beta of a closed source product to date with Windows 7. Couple this with the terrific work in the company's XBox division and you have a company that, at least at the surface, has fundamentally changed.
Of course, 1 Microsoft Way still has plenty of testiness left. CEO Steve Balmer's claim in 2006 that Linux violated more than 200 Microsoft patents was absurd and the litigious spree they attempted shortly thereafter would be just as funny if it didn't threaten to put people out of business.
Microsoft was successful because it discovered it's strengths early, it made products that only it could make at the time. In the past decade, it's business got a lot more competitive and the company branched into completely new markets. It soon realized that it no longer had to just compete with huge companies, it had to compete with free.
With that, I'm interested to see what comes out of Redmond in these last few months of 2009 and beyond. Is this a new attitude towards a world of open information or a way to embed proprietary standards under the guise FLOSSy cooperation? That remains to be seen.
In the meantime, I'll wait it out on my Mac.

Clouds and Wax Wings
Lifehacker, one of my favorite blogs of all time, had a great article earlier this week on the "hidden" dangers of cloud computing. I've been digesting it for a few days and thought I'd add perspective from a web host.
To me, the current frenzy over cloud computing reminds me a bit of the story of Icarus, whose haste in gaining flight pushed him to create wings of wax only to die after they melted mid flight.
Gina Trapani, a fantastic writer, was primarily talking about Cloud services as opposed to Cloud hosting, however there are parallels between the two concepts.
Gina's article mentions privacy as a primary concern for cloud users. She quotes an Op-Ed by Jonathan Zittrain in the New York Times:
Thanks in part to the Patriot Act, the federal government has been able to demand some details of your online activities from service providers – and not to tell you about it. There have been thousands of such requests lodged since the law was passed, and the F.B.I.'s own audits have shown that there can be plenty of overreach – perhaps wholly inadvertent – in requests like these.
On the cloud service she's right, however on the hosting side, things are a bit more complicated. Title II of the DMCA gives Online Service Providers (Including ISP's and Web Hosts) a 'safe harbor' clause essentially protecting the host from having to monitor everything that is on a particular server.
Basically, a VPS server is treated like an apartment building. If the police are investigating a murder, the superintendent will neither give them the entire building to search, nor will he search for the murder weapon himself. With a warrant, the superintendent can allow the police to search a particular apartment, but he himself is not held liable for the murder that occurred on his property nor is he responsible for finding any relevant evidence.
The same idea applies to a hosting company and, say, a VPS. If the police have the proper court documents, we can give them ALL the information on a particular VPS, but we cannot and will not look inside the VPS and hunt a file for them, and we also cannot and will not give them every VPS on a server.
This is, of course, an enormous distinction to make, Gena writes:
To search your house or office (including documents stored on your computer's hard drive), cops need to obtain a search warrant. To get to the information you've stored on a third-party's web servers, they only need a subpoena, which is easier to obtain. This kind of search can also happen without your knowledge.
It is true that with an appropriate court order, authorities can gain access to a server without the user's knownledge, they cannot however gain access without OUR knowledge. ServInt's policy has always been that we will tell a customer everything that we can under the law.
On the cloud, there are still some serious concerns about the viability of the platform, in fact they are the same reasons why ServInt hasn't yet implemented its own cloud solution.
Latency is still a huge problem, lack of command-line access continues to be an issue, and good luck to those who need to make changes to Apache…it might be easier to disarm an atomic bomb. All of these are compounded by the very real security and privacy concerns in current cloud implementations, especially cloud services. That doesn't discount the technology, nor does it imply that cloud services are bad per se, they are just fledgling.
The goal of a technology company should be to create a product that provides a solution so great, that what it lacks seems wholly irrelevant. As cloud solutions continue to represent the future of the industry, providers and customers alike must heed Icarus and be careful not to fly too close to the sun.
Cow Tipping and the Cloud
Growing up in the Washington DC Metro Area has some unique advantages.
DC is built on a swamp, and thus has four very distinct seasons…the two most brutal being our unforgivably humid Summers and our frigid winters for which Washingtonians are almost always completely unprepared. DC is also home to the seat of international political power, a thriving tech community located primarily in Northern VA (Hi Mom!), and some of the most ruthless traffic congestion on the East Coast.
The District is within driving distance of staggeringly rural areas…areas that I would frequent regularly as an irresponsible kid. These areas had cows…
…I think you know where I'm going with this.
It is not impossible to tip a cow, but it is far more likely that the cow will tip the person.
Contrary to popular belief, cows do not sleep standing up, their legs do not passively lock, and their sense of smell and hearing is far superior to yours. They can reorient themselves if someone were to shove them, and if they fell and were not hurt in the process…they could get right back up and potentially hurt the attempted tipper.
Cow tipping is a myth, a myth that everyone who ever lived near a farm loves to say they took part in. It is a socially accepted falsehood because we find it funny and exciting, perhaps because we want to do it ourselves. The legendary act of cow tipping sounds eerily similar to the current implementation of cloud services. It is a socially accepted platform because we find it cool and sexy and because we want to do it ourselves.
While I, and ServInt as a whole, don't discount the cloud, the fact of the matter is that there is no consensus over what cloud hosting, cloud computing, or even what the overarching concept of the cloud actually is. It's a platform that hasn't ripened but that is being pushed…hard…by many of ServInt's competitors and the tech world as a whole.
So far, cloud services have largely been either cloud application hosting or cloud storage.
Some of the more popular cloud applications have come from Apple with its MobileMe service, Google and Google Apps, and Microsoft's recently announced Office Web (I assume that's a working title) just to name a few of the largest. On the storage front, you have Amazon S3 and SC2, Rackspace Cloud (formerly Mosso), and Windows Azure.
All of these services are cool, but they're a prime example of what is wrong with this corner of the web right now…there is no focus. Both Amazon and Rackspace have released API's that would allow developers to better tap into their services…however this strikes me as less of a benefit and more of a symptom. Building a platform is great, but there needs to be something built on that platform, otherwise it's just there.
Despite the attractiveness of cloud services and the genuine potential the platform carries with it, current services have shown to be spotty and unreliable. This says that the cloud should play more of an auxiliary role in a server environment instead of taking over as the environment entirely.
In all fairness, that is something that both Microsoft and Rackspace have both publicly aspired to, namely the cloud as a support role in a traditional server set up, but I would argue that's proof that now is the time to wait on moving everything to the cloud.
At the end of the day an enterprise server — whether it's VPS or dedicated — will still remain the most important aspect of hosting. The future of this industry lies in supplementing that vision in order to evolve with a new solution entirely…not simply creating a weak platform and expecting it to perform the same way a rack would.
The enterprise server will evolve into the enterprise cloud server. It will grow and its voice will crack, but it will not go away.
It will also NOT be tipping any cows.

The city health department is testing students and staff at a Queens high school for tuberculosis.
The department says an individual at Hillcrest High School was recently exposed to the bacterial infection.
The person is recovering.
As many as 170 students and six staff members were tested Tuesday.
While officials say there is no health risk to anyone at the school, some students say they are nervous.
"Now all the students are, like, really paranoid. And, like, every time I cough, my friend would be like 'Stay away from me,' cause they'll think I have tuberculosis. So we're all really paranoid," said one Hillcrest student.
Officials say TB cases are on the rise in the city for the first time in a decade.
The DOH says 656 cases were reported last year, up from 651 the year before.

Admin (18-03-2012)
brilliant race, alonso was great like button perez maldonado vettel AND the red bull wasnt dominant. hoping for a close season between top 4. im an alonso fan and can admit the he has no chance this year already so unless theres a miacle, come on jenson!
indeed great race! what a shame that schumachers gearbox gave up afte a few laps, a top 5 finish would have benn possible. and great race from alonso!
helmut marko from red bull said today that mclaren is the only team that can keep up with them, but i would say its the other way round!
also good comeback from kimi, he went from 10th to 7th in the last lap (ok rosberg had a puncture and maldonado (wtf was that?!?!!) crashed his car in the last lap).....

Former court and police complex
Melbourne Magistrates' Court and City Watch-house
Russell Street, Melbourne

Fast facts
The Magistrates' Court and city watch-house have been acknowledged as architecturally and historically significant by the Heritage Council, the National Trust of Australia and the Melbourne Planning Scheme of Melbourne City Council. The Magistrates' Court is on the National Estate Register.
Building dates: Magistrates' Court
In 1842-3 a modest two-storey brick building was erected to house the Supreme Court of Victoria on the corner of Russell and La Trobe streets, Melbourne. A wooden extension was added in 1853 to cope with the sudden increase of cases associated with the gold rush. In 1884 the Supreme Court moved to more suitable accommodation in the new Law Courts in William Street. The Russell Street buildings were then used for the Court of Petty Sessions. The buildings were demolished in 1910 and the current courthouse (pictured, right) was erected in their place. The current building's foundation stone was laid in 1911 and it was officially opened by the Lord Mayor of Melbourne, D.V. Hennessy, on 20 January 1914. The 1911building is of 'Norman Romanesque revival' style, designed by George B.H. Austin of the Public Works Department and built by Swanson Brothers, a contracting firm. As a symbol of national pride, it was constructed entirely of Australian materials—yellow Moorabool stone and Batesford limestone from a quarry on the Moorabool River near Geelong, plus Gippsland marble and local timbers.
Building dates: city watch-house
The city watch-house, used for holding alleged offenders until they were officially remanded or released on bail, operated on the site next to the Magistrates' Court from 1892. At first it was housed in a disused cell block of the Old Melbourne Gaol. This was demolished and the current brick building, designed by the same architect as the Magistrates' Court, was built in 1907 – 8.

Magistrates' Court
The then Premier of Victoria, Hon. Thomas Bent, had promised the Council of the Working Men's College (now RMIT University) that this new court would blend in with their main administrative building, which was next door at 124 La Trobe Street. Opinion was divided as to whether this aim was achieved.
Features of interest:
- The cedar canopy in the Second Court, which was moved from the old Supreme Court on the site. This is said to be the canopy under which Justice Sir Redmond Barry sat at the trial of Ned Kelly.
- Unique seven-sided polygonal stair vestibule in the entrance foyer.
- L-shaped peristyle courtyard, popularly known as the 'bull-ring'. Defendants and witnesses used to gather here before being called to the bench, resulting in some explosive and tense encounters.
City watch-house
This facility (pictured below right) was used until the closure of the old Magistrates' Court building in 1994. All fixtures and fittings, including the graffiti, are as they were left in 1994.
Areas of interest include:
- cells where prisoners were held awaiting trial or bail
- separate exercise yards for men and women prisoners
- identification room, where prisoners in ID parades were separated from their accusers by no more than a set of strong floodlights.

Over the years rooms in the Magistrates' Court building were converted to courtroom use, so that the original three expanded to eleven. In the early 1960s a four-storey cream brick building was built at the back to provide additional courts and clerical offices. In 1970 the name was changed from the Court of Petty Sessions to the Magistrates' Court, as this was felt to more accurately reflect its function.
Famous trials held here:
- thirteen prisoners taken at the Eureka Stockade, who were arraigned for high treason in 1855 but acquitted
- notorious bushranger Ned Kelly, who was tried in 1880, convicted of murder and hanged at the Old Melbourne Gaol next door
- infamous gangster Leslie 'Squizzy' Taylor, said to have regularly made social visits to police friends at the court, was tried in 1924 for negligent driving that caused the death of a pedestrian.
The Melbourne Magistrates' Court relocated to the corner of William Street and Lonsdale Street in the early 1990s and the Russell Street building was closed. It remained largely unused, except as a set for television series and films, until it was purchased by RMIT University in 1997.

Some good news for New Yorkers who swim in the city's public pools: The water is cleaner than you may think.
The city tests public pools for chlorine and PH -- but not bacteria -- as state law does not require it.
NY1 decided to do some testing of its own and took samples from the Hamilton Fish Pool on the Lower East Side, Astoria Pool in Queens, Crotona in the Bronx, and McCarren Park in Brooklyn.
The samples were tested at a lab in New Jersey.
"Yes the samples which we received from the State of New York were bacteriologically satisfactory by both New Jersey standards and the State of New York standards," said Harvey Klein of Garden State Labs.
All of the samples were bacteria-free.
The city requires people to hose off before swimming and also checks the chlorine level every hour.
"We also check the cleanliness of the pool by the clarity of the water. If you look at the water behind me, it's crystal clear, and it's exactly the way we are expecting it to be," said Michael Crescenzo of the city Department of Parks and Recreation.
Despite the results, some still think the city should change its policy.
"I would have no qualms about swimming in the four pools which we tested if we knew that these conditions were consistently maintained," said Klein. "That of course is one good reason to have weekly testing to make sure the conditions are properly maintained."
The city's 55 outdoor swimming pools will close for the year on September 3.
