PoliticsNigeria poll points to north-south divide Incumbent president leads in Christian south while his main rival is ahead in Muslim north as counting is under way. 17 Apr 2011 12:13 GMT | Politics, Africa, Niger, Nigeria Early results in the Nigerian presidential polls show the incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan, leading in southern areas, while Muhammadu Buhari, the country's former military ruler, has attracted support from the country's Muslim north. Results continue to trickle in from what has largely been a peaceful presidential election, though violence has been reported from the north, where Buhari's supporters have expressed anger over perceived vote rigging. Early results showed Jonathan had done well in much of predominantly Christian southern Nigeria, including areas such as the most populous city of Lagos, where his ruling party had struggled in a parliamentary election a week ago. First results from the heavily Muslim northern states showed Buhari with a wide lead and a high turnout which could outweigh his lack of support in the south. "The election ... passed off quite peacefully yesterday. We know now that the ballot papers [from about 120,000 polling stations] ... are being collated at various centres across the country in some 36 Nigerian states," reported Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege from Abuja, the Nigerian capital, on Sunday. "Many of those ballot papers will eventually end up ... in Abuja, where the chairman of the independent national electoral commission will tell Nigerians who the next president is. "They had talked about ... results coming out [on Monday], but it now appears due to ... some kind of public pressure, there's momentum to try and get the results out today." Analysts say they are heartened by the fact that the poll is being taken seriously, but concerned at the possible repercussions of a north-south divide emerging in the results. "There's good news in this Nigerian presidential election: we're counting actual votes and people are interested in the count," said Chidi Odinkalu of the Open Society Justice Initiative NGO. "And quite bad news: the country is badly divided, north vs. south." Riots, bomb blast reported Tensions ran high in the north as Buhari's followers feared an attempt to rig the vote count, and eventually boiled over in a number of incidents. Click here for more on our special coverage "There were riots in Misau by a mob which burnt down our party offices and an [electoral commission] office in the town over spurious allegations of electoral rigging," said Abdulmumini Kundak, an advisor to the state governor. Trouble also flared in other parts of the north, with police investigating a bomb blast in a hotel near a polling station in Kaduna, a ruling party official's house being burned down in Azere, and shots being fired in Bauchi. A mob also burnt down the house of a government official in Jada, in Adamawa state, after accusations that he had hidden ballot boxes there, Musa Daura, the state police commissioner said. "The house was completely burnt. We've launched an investigation into the incident. No casualty was recorded," he said. Daura said a similar incident occured in Mubi, also in Adamawa state, in addition to the earlier attack in Azere. In Bauchi and Kano, the main city in the north, residets said that some voters slept outside ballot-counting centres, refusing to leave in order to make sure the results were not rigged. In Jalingo, the capital of the northern Taraba state, police fired tear gas at a crowd that insisted on following the electoral commission's staff to a vote-collating centre to ensure results were not overturned.Runoff fears "Across the country it will be close," Nasir el-Rufai, a former government minister and Buhari supporter, told the Reuters news agency at a vote counting centre in the capital Abuja. "My only fear is it will become a north-south issue if we see a situation where Buhari sweeps the north and Jonathan does well in the south. We may have to go to a runoff," he said. To win in the first round, a candidate needs a simple majority and a quarter of the vote in two thirds of the 36 states. There are more than 73 million registered voters and 120,000 polling stations. Final results could take days. A runoff between Jonathan and Buhari could risk polarising voters along regional lines in the country of 150 million, where ethnic and religious rivalries bubble near the surface. International observers were positive about the elections, which saw only limited evidence of the violence and vote rigging that have marred previous polls. Joe Clark, a former Canadian prime minister who is observing the vote, said there would likely be problems but that overall Nigerian officials had gone to great lengths to ensure the elections ran smoothly. "Some of the problems that existed in the immediately past election [last week's parliamentary vote] seem to have been addressed - people who were left off the voters list before and were unable to vote, a lot of that has been repaired," he told Al Jazeera. "Coming from people we speak to in the polling line, the message is that they believe this will be an election where their vote will count, which has not been the case in the past." He said that many of the electoral officials who use to run the process had been replaced with members of the National Youth Service Corps. "These are young people, they are well-respected ... there is no question at all about their integrity," he said. He also noted that the elections were run so that voters were present "regularly" at the polls, and so limiting the amount of time that ballot boxes were left out of the sight of civilian observers. Reports of irregularities The chief European Union observer said most stations in Africa's most populous nation opened on time, and that observers only saw a few cases of missing voting materials. "They [PDP] did less well than expected in the legislative elections last week but they still have plurality and clout which no other party has across the country" Nii Akuetteh, former executive director of Africa Action But there were some reports of irregularities, including an Associated Press report that said boys who appeared to be under 18 - the voting age in Nigeria - were seen queuing to vote. Elsewhere, party officials helped people ink their fingers and mark their ballots. One party worker accompanied an elderly woman to drop off her ballot in the box despite regulations banning party workers from voting stations. And at one collation center in Lagos, volunteers carried blank ballots without supervision from election officials. Security forces were on high alert after an explosion at a police station in Maiduguri, in the country's northeast, early on Saturday before the polls were due to open - the second such attack in 24 hours. Step forward The presidential polls follow last week's parliamentary election, which had been repeatedly delayed by organisational issues but which were seen as a major step forward for the country's democracy. Other candidates in the vote include former anti-corruption chief Nuhu Ribadu and Kano state governor Ibrahim Shekarau, but they are considered rank outsiders. Speaking to Al Jazeera from Washington, Nii Akuetteh, a former executive director of Africa Action, said that he expected Jonathan to win. "I will be extremely surprised if there is an upset because he is the incumbent and is the candidate of the powerful ruling party," he said. "They [PDP] did less well than expected in the legislative elections last week but they still have plurality and clout which no other party has across the country." Jonathan's PDP has won every presidential vote since Nigeria returned to civilian rule in 1999.Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

The Conversation
'Goddam it' he whispered as his wrist action quickened and then slowed, rotating the fork like a pro, aiming one of the prongs onto the green skin of the pea. Now there was a delicate face off of either successfully pushing the prong into the pea or watching it defensively roll off his plate and bounce under the round wooden table for safety. He told himself the prong of the fork wasn't sharp enough as the pea… actually a very talented life preserving 'garden' pea… ran for cover. 'Dammit' he says. He really wanted that last pea. The fish and chips had been excellent.
It was a holiday and whilst the sun was blazing outside, he was happy to have the security of the wooden tables and the bar in close proximity. His 'other half' as he frequently found himself describing her didn't react. His fingers were constantly brushing over his thumbs as he weighed up his options. This sunny afternoon, the fish and chips were just delaying tactics. It was a holiday… But it was also a break… A long term one. This was a last foray before things started anew.
He starts with his opening gambit, 'it's like this.' That sounded stilted and textbook teenager. He stops, tries to gather his thoughts in the uncomfortable silence.
'Uh, I've made a decision.'
He keeps thinking about the lost pea.
'It wasn't easy. We've been together for a long time now.'
His eyes drop as he straightens the knife and fork laying on the empty plate.
'How long has it been exactly?' he says without really thinking about it. He knows it has been a long time. Good times too. Great times. But that wasn't the point.
'Too long' he says flatly. As he looks away from the table, he suddenly realizes that the lost pea is lying on the floor just to the right of his boot. For a millisecond he considers bending down and grabbing it. That would be disgusting.
He repeats his previous line as if to re-assert himself, 'too long'.
He shuffles in his seat, 'It isn't working and hasn't been for a long time. It was all consuming. But there is more in life that I want to do and you… Don't feature in that.'
He shakes his head as he feels like he is saying all the wrong things… And not getting his point across.
'I need to free myself… I'm sorry… But it's too much pain… '
His eyes fall on the pea again but this time the thought of eating it doesn't cross his mind. Instead he sees that it represents this exact event in his life… He could kick it away or he could bend down and pick it up… It would then be his decision as to what happened to it.
He looks away and stares at his 'other half', 'You are killing me. That's what Doctor Morris says.'
He never thought he'd ever have this conversation.
'I can't continue down this road and… And… I'm giving you up… Not for January… Not for lent… For good… For my life.'
He stands up as he hovers on the slightly slurred flat 'fe' of 'life' his eyes falling on the emptiness of his other half… His pint glass. 'No more… I am giving you… uppp.' He slightly loses his balance slightly as he sways out of his local, 'The Horns head.'
Davie, the barman waves bye as he bounces off the outer door, 'see you tomorrow Jimmy.'

Backups – My Solution
It totally depends on your own system and how you use your devices. Some people are comfortable with other companies storing their private information. Some are not. Some people would rather one device and one service. Others are happy to make use of everything that is on offer (whether free or not). And some people are fanatical about one particular company or service.
After much deliberation and research (and on this occasion my research was extensive) I finally decided on my system and it was pretty much what I had before with one addition, albeit an important addition.
First, I replaced the 'broken' external HDD with a WD 'Red' 2 TB HDD. I've put it in an Icy Box enclosure (with on/off) and it's plugged straight into the PC, exactly as it was before. In theory it's the most robust HDD out there so it should be able to be on all the time. With an on/off it's easy for me to switch it off if I'm away for prolonged periods. It contains all my key files and folders (which have been transferred over from the failing HDD).
The second aspect (and this is new) is the Western Digital My Cloud 4TB device. In essence it's a NAS system with Cloud capability but at a fraction of the price. I'm using it as an additional backup device, which also allows me to access my files from any device (pc, Mac, iPhone, Tablet). Even Android. It also allows me to access my files at anytime and anywhere. Imagine Dropbox but you own it. The app for the iPhone and iPad is cool and makes it really easy to access everything.
I'm still testing the device so I'll post a separate entry on my overall thoughts.

Buy a NEW HDD
Once I've completed my tests it may become clear that my existing 2TB HDD has errors on it that can't be fixed. If this is to be the case, then obviously I need to replace it. I still think having my personal files on an external HDD is a better way to go than internally on a PC or Mac. On the simple basis that the external HDD can be plugged into any system without the need for opening up a computer and physically removing the internal HDD.
Having looked at HDD options the WD 'Red' HDDs seem to be highly recommended. As they are internal HDD ideal for NAS storage they are pretty robust and should be able to be 'on all the time' as it were. It would mean buying a case or enclosure so that it could sit outside the computer. It's basically the same system I've previously run except with a new upgraded HDD. I may introduce another aspect however.
Next: Not quite NAS. Consumer Cloud Device.
Buy a NAS system
There doesn't seem to be much excitement about NAS systems these days. I've considered them in the past but decided against it due to the fact that I like my personal files plugged straight into my pc rather than my router. However, I like the fact that the data on the NAS drive is accessible from anywhere within the house.
With my router in a different room from my main computer, I wonder whether the speed of access (writable and readable) will ultimately be too slow. That then leads to the problem of 'cost.' The ones I've looked at (with the best speeds) are between £400 and £700 and don't have drives in them. That's more than I want or need to spend on this project at the moment.
Additionally, and I found this surprising, the few techie friends that I've asked about this, said they would choose Cloud storage over NAS storage.
If you are thinking of a NAS drive however, look at the comments section on part 1 of this post topic here, as my friend Matt explains his NAS setup. By all accounts I think it works well.
Next: Buy a New HDD

When you're trying to get in shape, what do you think is the biggest environmental factor in derailing your resolution? The obvious answer would be the sight and smell of delicious (unhealthy) junk food! Believe it or not, your family and your friends have to be equally empathetic towards your fitness goals. How often has it been that your mother adds that extra bit of ghee (read as love) to your paranthas knowing that you're trying to lose weight? Or your friends on an evening out, push you towards food & alcohol binging to kill boredom? We're not saying that ghee is not good. In fact it has uncooked ghee has unsaturated fat that helps in better absorption of vitamins or drinking a glass a week of wine is bad. The problem starts when the portions seize to remain under control. You mother cant see you get in shape as she thinks you look underfed, while you've only shed a couple of pounds. And your friends simply don't think when they are having a good time. There's no logical reasoning when they want you to down the whole bottle! Most people grappling with weighty issues are victims of considerable alcohol consumption and they don't realize it. They might be eating right, exercising well but not paying enough attention to their alcohol intake. Also people on a mission to get fit mostly try to eat at home and still not get anywhere with those extra kilos! Maybe you need to check calorie count in home cooked food. A good way to overcome this huge factor is to make all the people you hang out with aware, that you're trying to lose weight, and that their support counts. If they want the best for you, they will support you in your goals. With social support from your family and friends, it will be easier to get fit. Watch your weighing machine become your favorite hang out zone with just a little moral support from your friends and family. It's the teamwork that will help you stay ahead of your race against fat. So, get them to help you win that race! Need help to lose weight: Call (0)98108-20937 or email email@example.com .. |

Which Gun Control Law Would Have Prevented the Sandy Hook Tragedy?
Moments after children died on the floor of Sandy Hook Elementary School, there were gun ghouls moving in to grotesquely exploit their deaths for political purposes.
However, there's a very basic question that hasn't been answered: What gun control law would have prevented the gun control tragedy?
* Adam Lanza didn't acquire his guns through any sort of "gun show loophole" that needs to be closed. He got his weapons by murdering his mother and taking her legal weaponry.
* Sandy Hook Elementary was already a "gun free zone," but unsurprisingly, a man bent on mass murder ignored that law.
* Adam Lanza used a semiautomatic Bushmaster .223 rifle for his killing spree. That weapon was perfectly legal under the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004; so even if it had been in place, it wouldn't have made one iota of difference.
So, the answer to the question posed in the title is that there are no gun control laws that could feasibly be passed that would have prevented what happened at Sandy Hook.
When advocates of gun control like Michael Moore, Michael Bloomberg and Barack Obama give up their armed bodyguards, then they might have a little more credibility when they advocate gun control laws that do nothing to stop mass murders, but do put innocent Americans at the mercy of murderers, gangs and rapists.

What Wal • dorf Meth • od: A program that addresses students' intellectual, physical, and emo- tional capacities in harmony. The Waldorf curriculum integrates movement, fine arts, and practical arts into the study of humanities, science, math, and technology. The program aims to educate the whole human being in a healthy and balanced manner—and does so in a unique way that cultivates analytical thinking while expanding students' creative potentials. The program's close teacher-student-parent relationships involve the whole family. Cooperation is encouraged as a model for other social relationships. Students also are introduced to a non-religious spirituality—a reverence for nature and universal humanity—as an intrinsic value in their progress toward successful futures.

'A trickle rather than a flood': MPs accuse Government of inflaming anti-immigration prejudice against Romanians and Bulgarians
Deputy Political Editor
Friday 21 March 2014
Ministers played into the hands of scaremongers and stoked up anti-immigrant prejudice by failing to produce estimates of how many Romanians and Bulgarians would head to Britain, MPs will say today.
In fact this country experienced a "trickle rather than a flood" after border controls on workers from the two countries were scrapped on 1 January, according to the Commons home affairs select committee.
It was scathing over the Government's failure to organise an analysis of the likely impact of allowing Romanians and Bulgarians full access to the British labour market.
"We are concerned that the decision not to commission has increased anti-immigrant prejudice and has been commandeered by those who wish to inflame tensions about immigration for political gain," the MPs said.
Although it did not name who it had it mind, the UK Independence Party had claimed the lifting of controls could lead to an influx of 350,000 to 400,000 Romanians or Bulgarians into this country.
The MPs added: "The committee has seen no evidence to suggest there has been an increase in migration from Romania and Bulgaria. It would appear rather more a trickle then a flood."
They also suggested ministers had over-reacted by announcing a series of measures to limit EU nationals' right to claim benefits in the UK.
"The limited evidence that does exist suggests the scale of so-called 'benefits tourism' is at much lower levels than claimed by the Government," they said.
"It is all the more important that, on such a sensitive and controversial issue, the full facts are presented to the public."
The committee's chairman, Keith Vaz, said: "It is essential for future enlargement of the EU that the Government commission research on the impact of migration to the UK. If they do not do so, the committee will."
The MPs took an additional swipe at proposals by the Migration Advisory Committee for visas to be auctioned off to millionaire bidders.
They urge the Home Office to reject the proposal and add: "This process is riddled with difficulties and combined with the reduction in standards required of those gaining citizenship, including limited or no English or Welsh language skills, will be a recipe for disaster."

"For most men, life is a search for the proper manila envelope in which to get themselves filed"
Clifton Fadiman
"We're in Manila. Come on, gorilla; this is a thriller."
Joe Frazier
"[Frazier soaked it all up like a sponge. When they arrived in Manila it was the same story. Ali poured scorn on his opponent. Humiliated him. Joe had the heart of a lion but verbally he was out of his depth when Ali got going. One time, as fight day approached, Ali spotted Frazier on a hotel balcony, grabbed a security guard's gun and fired some rounds at him. Everybody knew it wasn't live ammo but it still startled the hell out of Joe.] Go back in your hole, Gorilla, ... You gonna scare the people! Come out again and I'm gonna kill ya before time!"
Muhammad Ali
"These actions, along with our previously announced on-schedule wafer sort consolidation efforts into our Manila, Philippines facility, are examples of our ongoing commitment to improving efficiencies. Customer satisfaction and quality are of paramount importance as we execute on this consolidation,"
Christine King
"It's certainly Bonhams' view that Manila would make an excellent venue for the sale if a sale should take place,"
Robert Brooks
"The heat in Manila is an 'I'm about to drown you in a monsoon' type of heat. Oppressive. I had a hard time breathing. Not only were all the seats filled, all the aisles were filled and there people crammed in the rafters. I don't know if you could squeeze in one more person. It was body to body."

On my old commute my hands would get their coldest around mile 3, then warm up gradually at least somewhat over the next three/four miles (I assume as my core realized it wasn't going to freeze and released bloodflow to my extremities). Now my ride ends after three miles, so I go inside while my fingers are frozen and they warm up all at once and OW OW OW. Otherwise, good socks and ski helmet (and face mask) plus the XC ski pants I picked up last year keep me nice and warm.

i would love to try a fat bike. i saw a fat pugsley last year during trip to Wisconsin. it was in a TREK store in Madison. if i had $1750 in my pocket i would have bought it shipped it to Maine. i should have asked them to let me try it.
If an LBS (hint hint -Fred and john b.) want to do a public demo in snOW the company should provide a couple fat bikes as a marketing thing. |

Did I have an anti-fatbike stance? I don't recall.I just remember a post you made after riding one exclaiming about the 10 PSI tires after a trade show but maybe it wasn't anti. You might not be able to claim you never paid over $1000 for a bike if you go fat, the fricken tires run around $100 each unless you go for the 45 North Dillinger $225 each I'd love a chance to try out a fatbike in the right snow, specifically snow I can't take my mountain bike on because it is too soft. The Moonlander is out of my price range. |

If an LBS (hint hint -Fred and john b.) want to do a public demo in snOW the company should provide a couple fat bikes as a marketing thing. Well, neither Fred nor I control where the shop's money goes, especially when it comes to marketing. As I said before, though, Jamie, the shop's sole owner/ proprietor (who is not Fred, despite popular impression), and myself are on the same page when it comes to fatbikes. We want to own them for ourselves, ride them for fun and sell a range of fatbikes through the shop. We're at an impasse, though, with extremely limited availability and vague re-order dates. We're also trying to do this at the peak of fatbike interest season. A public demo, like the ones we did with Santa Cruz, Giant and Specialized over the past summer, takes major involvement from the manufacturer. I don't expect Surly/ QBP to do that. I'd rather if they just stayed in Minnesota and manufactured more fatbikes so we can actually order one. I was talking fatbike rental "fleet" (realistically, 3 bikes in M, L, XL) back in July but my idea was brushed off. Maybe over this coming summer, during one of our Surly re-orders, they'll listen to the guy who prefers to plan ahead. Greenbelt Trail in SoPo has been maintained (not cleared) and heavily compacted by users. I've been taking the multi-use path on the east end of the Casco Bay Bridge to work. That's also nicely cleared. The large snowbank facing the road also acts as a windbreak. No issue with cold hands as of yet on my short ~3 mile commute. My hands do get numb in spots from the rumble of rutted snow under my tires, though. Edited by john baldwin on Jan 3, 2013 11:55 AM |

i did a short ride from anthoine to ferry vilage on green belt new years day. it was fun. good exercise!. ...mostly packed snow like you said with a few icy spots. i tried going the other direction towards but the driveways were plowed in a way that dumped snow on walks and path.
As temp improves i wil try a ride to east end beach by paths this weekend. i got to get out the house. I did notice (from a car) that the path on VETERANS bidge looked useable. Both ends of VET bridge have been paved since i last rode it. |

I just remember a post you made after riding one exclaiming about the 10 PSI tires after a trade show but maybe it wasn't anti. Nah, but climbing was a bit of a chore. Sort of the idea, though. You might not be able to claim you never paid over $1000 for a bike if you go fat, the fricken tires run around $100 each unless you go for the 45 North Dillinger $225 eachYou're right! But, if I'm going to break that trend it may as well be with a bike that can't be made from a repurposed older frame (at least at my skill level). A Moonlander will still be a bit hard for me to legitimize financially, even with my below-wholesale discount as a Surly dealer. Maybe if I ever get a credit card... (Part of my New Year's resolution) Here's an interesting blog post about making studded tires out of some newer ~$100/ each Surly tires. Given the cost of the Dilingers, maybe not such an insane investment, even at a puke-worthy $1 a stud? I've been researching, among lots of other things concerning fatbikes, my tire choice. I think I'll be going with the Big Fat Larry's (which I've seen photos of indeed fitting in a Pugsley/ Necromancer frame). There are some cheap fatbike tire options out there (notably on eBay) that would likely make a great homemade studded tire option. I'd love a chance to try out a fatbike in the right snow, specifically snow I can't take my mountain bike on because it is too soft. Me too. I've ridden fat on hardpack and frozen lake, which I already have a bike more or less designed for. I'm most interested in the fatbike's performance in accumulated, loose snow. It's not a deal breaker for me that I can't test one in those conditions prior to sinking the most money I've ever put into a bike. If a fatbike doesn't perform well in loose snow, I'm not sure what would. Ktrak? Edited by john baldwin on Jan 3, 2013 12:32 PM |

$1/stud is puke worthy. That makes my Nokian Extremes worth around $600 for the pair, and I have 2 pair and some Mount and Grounds! Interesting idea for my wife's foul weather running shoes currently with sheet metal screws installed. I'll probably wait until some other tire manufacturers enter the ring before I go that route for the fatbike.
I love running the trails with the studded tires. It makes the icy spots the fast spots, not the deadly spots. Speaking of that, with this weeks cold my lake crossing route should be opening for the year soon, like maybe tomorrow. |

Speaking of fatbikes, check this one out on NH Craigslist....Search under bikes: Iditarod. Listed Dec 26.

That is cool. Especially like the fork, rims and the fact it's made in the U.S. I'd be interested to know how large a tire the frame/ fork accepts as it was manufactured well before the newer, approaching 5" wide tires. The build, component-wise, is similar to most stock fatbikes today in that it's 9-speed with mechanical disc. Those look to be some fairly nice quality, if a bit dated, components. Very fair asking price. |

Bizarrely I was in Blackpool (31 October) and got a shot almost identical to this one! There must have been 2,000 birds in the sky, everyone around me was in awe at the patterns they made in the sky - better than any fireworks display! - I called mine "Fly me to the moon!"
An excellent effort.

Estrogen Receptor α Gene Polymorphisms and Bone Mineral Density in Healthy Children and Young Adults

Get AccessAbstract
The accretion of peak bone mass is largely under genetic control, and one of the potential candidate genes is the estrogen receptor α (ERα) gene. The association of ERα gene polymorphisms with bone mineral density (BMD) was investigated in a group of 147 healthy caucasian children, adolescents, and young adults (57 boys and 90 girls) in a cross-sectional and longitudinal study. The mean age was 11.3 years (4.3–19.9 years) at baseline and 15.6 years (7.6–25.3 years) at follow-up. Lumbar spine, total body BMD, and body composition were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and expressed as age- and sex-adjusted standard deviation scores (SDS). We analyzed two restriction fragment length polymorphisms, Pvull and Xbal, and haplotypes thereof.
Subjects homozygous for haplotype 1 (px) (33% of the population) had 0.4 SD (standard deviation) lower lumbar spine BMD (P = 0.02) and bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) (P = 0.04) than those heterozygous or noncarriers for haplotype 1 (px) at baseline. Analysis of the follow-up data gave similar results. The association was stronger for the prepubertal than for the postpubertal subjects. Vertebral width SDS, total body BMD SDS, height SDS, body mass index SDS, lean body mass SDS, and percentage fat SDS did not significantly differ between the haplotypes. The age of menarche was not related to any of the haplotypes in girls.
The present study shows that Pvull-Xbal ERα gene polymorphism is associated with BMD during childhood.
