PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/12/13 -- Leading Internet companies, system integrators and security providers have formed the FIDO Alliance (Fast Identity Online) to revolutionize online authentication with an industry supported standards-based open protocol. FIDO Alliance founding member organizations Agnitio, Infineon Technologies, Lenovo, Nok Nok Labs, PayPal, and Validity are developing the specification and FIDO-compliant products. The Internet requires users to confirm their identity to logon and access many online accounts and services. Current password authentication is weak due to reuse, malware and phishing, and leaves enterprises and end-users vulnerable to financial and identity theft. FIDO's standards-based approach automatically detects when a FIDO-enabled device is present, and offers users the option to replace passwords with authentication methods that are more secure and easier to use. The FIDO Alliance encourages and invites participation from all companies and organizations that want simpler, stronger authentication.
The FIDO standard will support a full range of technologies, including biometrics such as fingerprint scanners, voice and facial recognition, as well as existing authentication solutions and communications standards, such as Trusted Platform Modules (TPM), USB Security Tokens, Near Field Communication (NFC), One Time Passwords (OTP) and many other existing and future technology options. The open protocol is designed to be extensible and to accommodate future innovation, as well as protect existing investments. The FIDO protocol allows the interaction of technologies within a single infrastructure, enabling security options to be tailored to the distinct needs of each user and organization. As more organizations join the FIDO Alliance, more use cases and technologies will become part of the solution.
"The Internet -- especially with recent rapid mobile and cloud expansion -- exposes users and enterprises, more than ever before, to fraud. It's critical to know who you're dealing with on the Internet. The FIDO Alliance is a private sector and industry-driven collaboration to combat the very real challenge of confirming every user's identity online," said Michael Barrett, FIDO Alliance president and PayPal Chief Information Security Officer. "By giving users choice in the way they authenticate and taking an open-based approach to standards, we can make universal online authentication a reality. We want every company, vendor, and organization that needs to verify user identity to join us in making online authentication easier and safer for users everywhere."
"At the core of National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) is a call for the private sector to lead in developing open technology standards that will enable a more trusted and secure Identity Ecosystem. The new FIDO Alliance has pledged to do just that," said Jeremy Grant, who is leading the implementation of NSTIC as Senior Executive Advisor for Identity Management at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST).
"I am excited to see what the FIDO Alliance's members can do to deliver the kind of usable, cost-effective, privacy-enhancing, interoperable strong authentication innovations envisioned in the NSTIC."
"IDC forecasts the strong authentication market to realize more than $2.2 billion in revenues alone by 2016. This demand is driven by social networking, internet, cloud and mobile, all of which will require higher and higher levels of authentication by governments, corporations and consumers," said Sally Hudson, IDC Research Director, Security Products and Services. "We believe that standards based, automated solutions such as those advocated by FIDO will contribute greatly toward making this a reality."
Why FIDO? Why Now?
The FIDO Alliance is a revolution in authentication methods that today's markets demand. Though many authentication systems and point solutions existed before the FIDO Alliance, they have been proprietary, difficult and costly to manage, and/or insufficient to scale. The FIDO Alliance's objective is to be all-inclusive, embracing both existing and new authentication methods and hardware with the FIDO open protocol. FIDO-compliant smartphones, tablets, PCs and laptops can replace password dependency and exposure of sensitive user information by automatically and transparently providing user credentials when they're required.
50 billion internet-connected devices are predicted to be in the marketplace by 2020, according to Cisco Systems. The FIDO protocol approach inherently supports consumerization trends, by allowing end users any choice of authentication method. At the same time, FIDO shifts control to providers, who can make authentication user-transparent and limit the risk of fraud. Any site will be able to effect stronger account and transaction security, and improve their users' experience with more convenience, better privacy and fortified protection of persons and assets.
Today, users are often required to remember a selection of security questions, enter a unique ID with a main password, and potentially use a software or hardware token, as well. Most users have a handful of slightly varied passwords they use to access multiple sites and accounts. This cross-use of passwords poses serious risks if one account is compromised and user credentials are exposed to potential fraud across the range of a user's accounts. Providers are invariably implicated when data is breached and personal information is exposed at a site or within an application. Repeated attempts to outline better security practices and change user behaviors haven't succeeded.
The FIDO Alliance is committed to overcoming prevailing limitations by developing an authentication ecosystem with a standardized, global protocol and necessary interfaces. With users free to select any FIDO-compliant token type, even devices previously considered proprietary can be adapted for use, and new vendors with new protocol-compliant devices easily become part of the marketplace.
The FIDO Alliance and standards create the open, non-proprietary and flexible authentication protocol framework that lowers costs to deploy and improve returns on investment by using devices and systems already in the marketplace to authenticate users. Today, more and improved security options have become available and at better prices. Considering new market dynamics and the risk problem FIDO solves for users and providers, broad market adoption of secure authentication is now set up to succeed.
The FIDO Alliance invites all companies and organizations to become active members. Members will define the market requirements and contribute to the FIDO specification. Interested organizations are encouraged to go to www.fidoalliance.org to find out more and to join the FIDO Alliance.
About The FIDO Alliance
The FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance was formed in July 2012 to address the lack of interoperability among strong authentication technologies, and remedy the problems users face with creating and remembering multiple usernames and passwords. The Alliance plans to change the nature of authentication by developing standards-based specifications that define an open, scalable, interoperable set of mechanisms that supplant reliance on passwords to easily and securely authenticate users of online services.
Quotes from FIDO Alliance Founding Members:
Biometrics -- finger, hand/palm, face, voice, iris -- represent something everyone has with them at all times. The FIDO Alliance calls attention anew to the range of biometric options that identify who a user is. By enabling dynamic discovery of FIDO-compliant biometric devices, the FIDO Alliance manifests remarkable advantages to biometric users and manufacturers of biometric devices and systems, as well as device manufacturers who want to incorporate biometric recognition technology into their systems and devices to enable FIDO-compliance.
Agnitio, http://www.agnitio-corp.com/
"Agnitio is committed and passionate about fighting for Internet citizens worldwide against identity fraud and criminal activity. The FIDO Alliance facilitates our global opportunity to equip users with the convenience of using their voice to automatically authenticate instead of having to remember and enter passwords, especially when they're on the go," said Agnitio CEO Emilio Martinez. "What is more natural for Agnitio users than authenticating while speaking to their FIDO-compliant mobile devices? Voice Biometrics is the most natural way to ease and secure the authentication process anytime and anywhere, using a mobile phone or any FIDO-enabled device."
Validity, http://www.validityinc.com/
"As device and digital consumption continues to grow exponentially, so does the challenge of maintaining privacy and ease of use," said Sebastien Taveau, FIDO Alliance Board Member and CTO for Validity Sensors. "PC manufacturers have already recognized the power of leveraging a fingerprint for authentication, and with the upcoming release of fingerprint sensors in mobile devices, now is the time for the FIDO Alliance to bring together the hardware, software and applications that create a seamless user experience with a much needed new approach to security."
Relying Parties -- Those who must authenticate and secure users against identity theft, financial fraud and abuse
All FIDO Alliance members have a stake in making online authentication work, but none moreso than those who must authenticate and secure the billions of online and mobile users who rely on their services and risk exposure every time they logon or access sites and services. These FIDO Alliance members -- the Relying Parties are at risk along with their users, until user authentication is made secure with FIDO standards.
PayPal, https://www.paypal.com/
"PayPal authenticates 7.5 million transactions every day and we take our customers' security very seriously," said Bill Leddy, Principal Security Strategist, PayPal. "We recognize that user authentication must go beyond passwords. With FIDO, PayPal's customers will have more choice and stronger methods of authentication including biometrics, USB security tokens and one-time passwords. By collaborating with the industry to create open authentication standards such as FIDO, we can make authentication simpler and stronger for Internet users everywhere."
Server and ValidationVendors
The FIDO Alliance establishes the standards that make online authentication open to all to compete in every market with FIDO-compliant hardware and software products. FIDO-compliant servers and processors enable inherent features and functions of FIDO authentication and automate delivery of secure credentials throughout the FIDO ecosystem.
Nok Nok Labs, http://www.noknok.com
"The formation of the FIDO Alliance addresses a longtime, critical need for technology providers and their users: stronger security that is easier to use," said Phillip Dunkelberger, CEO of Nok Nok Labs, a founding member of the FIDO Alliance. "From day one, through our Unified Authentication Infrastructure, we are developing solutions that will deliver on the vision of the FIDO Alliance. We are excited to see the launch and expansion of the Alliance."
Systems and Device Manufacturers
FIDO Alliance membership enhances opportunities for PC, mobile and other systems and device manufacturers to influence the FIDO standard. As these manufacturers incorporate FIDO-compliance, the market opportunities expand for their products, as widespread adoption of standards-based FIDO authentication ensues.
Lenovo, http://lenovo.com/us/en/
"Lenovo products have earned a reputation for outstanding security features and designs," said Mark Cohen, Vice President and General Manager, Ecosystem and Monetization, Lenovo. "Recognizing that our customers wanted more than just passwords for authentication, we began shipping ThinkPad PCs with integrated fingerprint readers nearly a decade ago. We are excited about the new FIDO standard because it enhances both security and convenience, enabling biometric and other forms of authentication to take place directly between the user and the service that he or she is trying to use."

Report highlights Senegal's internet obstacles
| Sept. 26, 2012, 11:08 a.m.Google Africa says a study commissioned into Senegal's internet environment has highlighted key factors holding back development.
Noting that a decade ago, Senegal was one of the most promising African countries in the area of internet adoption, with more than double the Internet penetration in Nigeria, Google says Nigeria is now ahead with 30% of its population enjoying access to the web versus 16% in Senegal.
To understand the issues, Google commissioned a study through Balancing Act. The findings of that study have been summarised in a report titled "Obstacles and Opportunities for the democratization of broadband in Senegal."
Among the main issues identified are rigid licensing and weak regulation, which have resulted in the incumbent operator holding a de facto monopoly on access to the national fiber infrastructure and the copper lines into households. This lack of competition has kept data prices high and inaccessible to many Senegalese.
Balancing Act proposes changes including:
- Internet suppliers must be authorized to build their own infrastructure and compete against incumbents.
- Government should encourage competition and transparency in international capacity by enforcing existing but until now ignored regional regulation.
Google called on stakeholders to download the report and share comments, observations, questions and contributions via this form.

Magic-Lakers Gives NBA Most-Watched Game Two In Five Years
Published June 9, 2009
Sunday night's Magic-Lakers NBA Finals Game Two on ABC earned an 8.2 fast-national Nielsen rating and 14 million viewers from 8:00-11:12pm ET. While the rating was down 3.5% from an 8.5 for Celtics-Lakers last year, viewers increased 3.8% from 13.5 million. The 14 million viewers also marks the most-viewed NBA Finals Game Two since Pistons-Lakers in '04 drew 16.1 million viewers. Magic-Lakers Game Two was Sunday night's No. 1 program across all key adult demos -- helping to give ABC the win in primetime -- as well as the net's top-rated summer Sunday in five years among adults 18-49 and 18-34. For Game One, the net earned a 7.8 fast-national rating and 13.0 million viewers from 9:00-11:43pm ET, down 10.3% and 2.6%, respectively, from an 8.7 rating and 13.4 million viewers for Celtics-Lakers Game One last year. Game One gave ABC the win for last Thursday night in primetime, with the game ranking as the No. 1 program across viewers and all key adult demos (THE DAILY). DAILY VARIETY's Rick Kissell writes unless the Magic win tonight's Game Three, the "air will come out of this ratings balloon" (DAILY VARIETY, 6/9).
VOICE OF REASON: In L.A., Diane Pucin writes under the header, "Jeff Van Gundy Gives Fans Little To Criticize." Van Gundy, whose brother Stan coaches the Magic, said that during Sunday's broadcast on ABC, he "probably wasn't as vocal about criticizing some officials' calls he thought went the Lakers' way." Near the end of the first quarter of Game Two when a blocking foul was called on Magic C Dwight Howard, ABC analyst Mark Jackson "immediately said it was a bad call and waited for Van Gundy's response." However, there was an "uncomfortable silence, as if Van Gundy were biting his tongue," which he "admits he was." Van Gundy said, "I'm doing my best. But it's hard. I haven't hid it, I won't hide it now. He's my brother. This is the biggest moment of his life. I want him to win. So it's hard. Do I find myself pulling my punches? Probably. Do I think twice before I make a criticism about the Lakers? Absolutely. But, hey, how much could they have been criticized so far? Not much" (L.A. TIMES, 6/9). On Long Island, Neil Best writes through the first two games, Jeff Van Gundy's "sibling allegiance to the Magic's coach has not been evident." But even so, it is "asking a lot of viewers to listen without wondering how his opinions are informed and/or influenced by his relationship" with his brother. Best: "It's a phenomenon both interesting and distracting" (NEWSDAY, 6/9).
IF A BASKET IS SCORED ... : SI.com's Richard Deitsch noted with 24.4 seconds remaining in the second quarter of Game Two, ABC cameras "inexplicably ... focused on Magic forward Rashard Lewis heading to the bench" as Lakers F Pau Gasol made a basket. It was the "final basket of the first half, but we never saw it" (SI.com, 6/8).

Week In Marketing: Millennial Parents, Bud Light Apology, #GirlYouDon'tNeedMakeUp
1. Reaching the Millennial Parent
It's estimated that 40 percent of older millennials are already parents and they account for 80 percent of the 4 million annual U.S. births. This generation of parents born after 1980 is different from its predecessors in many fundamental ways. According to AdWeek, savvy marketers see this as a unique opportunity to capture an enormous segment of the population — if they can help older millennials be practical and solve problems.
2. A Minor Twitter Revolution?
Comedian Amy Schumer did a parody on One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" on her show earlier this week. Afterwards, Schumer encouraged fans to share their make-up free photos with the hashtag #GirlYouDon'tNeedMakeUp — and women are uploading them by the thousands.
3. "Her Shorts" A New Video Series
Refinery29 is partnering with Planned Parenthood on a new digital-video series called "Her Shorts" that focuses on men's and women's reproductive and sexual health issues, including videos from Lena Dunham and Emily Ratajkowski. The American-based fashion, style and beauty website announced that two other celebrities taking part in "Her Shorts," actresses Mae Whitman and Mamie Gummer.
4. Viewers Engage More With TV Ads Than Video Ads
A new biometric survey shows that traditional TV commercials are four times more engaging than video advertising on Facebook. Study participants were exposed to the same video advertisements across Facebook, TV and digital pre-roll on PC, tablet and smartphone.
5. An Apology from Bud Light
Bud Light supported its "Up for Whatever" campaign with a bottle that included the tagline "perfect beer for removing 'no' from your vocabulary for the night." There was public outcry over the seemingly overt date-rape, or at the very least sexual, implications of the tagline. Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch pulled the bottle and issued this statement:
The Bud Light Up for Whatever campaign, now in its second year, has inspired millions of consumers to engage with our brand in a positive and light-hearted way. In this spirit, we created more than 140 different scroll messages intended to encourage spontaneous fun. It's clear that this message missed the mark, and we regret it. We would never condone disrespectful or irresponsible behavior.
A Toast to Cindy Calhoun
Cindy Calhoun is retiring from Howard/Merrell today, after 26 years.
When she started here in 1989, I was in my freshman year of college and Jennifer Lawrence wasn't even born yet. She made it through four finance directors, Y2K, the agency's first computerized accounting system, and the end of "Cheers". She saw the beginning of the Internet and World Wide Web, and she (finally) got an iPhone.
For most of us here at the agency, there hasn't been a day at work that didn't include Cindy as a co-worker. She's always been here, she's part of what makes Howard/Merrell great. She cares for the people here and cares about the work she does and is a part of. And because she cares, Cindy will do anything – really anything. Answer phones, empty trash, play with the kids who visit the office, stuff envelopes, drink pina coladas, research new business leads and wear silly hats on her head.
I'm one of the lucky ones. I have not only had the chance to work with Cindy day in and day out for 16 years, but I get to call her friend.
Accounting can be a thankless job and more so in an environment that is as creative as an ad agency. But some how, Cindy made it fun; not just for our department and me, but for everyone in the agency. Cindy will joke with you, laugh at you and be the first one there to lend an ear or give you that hug. And, for those reasons, she will be irreplaceable.
We can't be sad for Cindy though. She's moving to Florida, planning a tour of all the casinos in the US, and spending time with her family. We wish her happiness, good fortune and safe travels.
A toast to Cindy: We won't cry because you are leaving. We are going to smile because you were here.
Twenty-six Years…How things have changed
Howard/Merrell was founded in 1945. Since our inception, there are employees who have come and gone, but many have chosen to work here for 10, 15, even 20 years. These employees have seen the industry change and the agency evolve.
Cindy Calhoun joined the agency 26 years ago as a receptionist. Over the years, she has served multiple roles including accounts payable clerk, billing manager and financial services manager. She has been part of the fabric of this organization.
When given the opportunity to ask Cindy about her long tenure here at the agency, I was eager to find out what she had to say. Cindy will retire from Howard/Merrell at the end of the month.
Q: What brought you to the agency?
A: I moved here from Albany, NY in 1989. I went to a temp agency and told them I wanted a job within 5 miles of my house. Howard/Merrell was where I was sent.
Q: What was Howard/Merrell like when you first joined?
A: Very formal. At least in both the Finance and Account Management departments. Women had to wear skirts or dresses, hose, and closed-toe shoes. There was no such thing as "Casual Fridays".
Q: How has it changed?
A: Have you ever seen me wear hose?! It is much more relaxed, which I think leads to better productivity.
We have also come a long way in technology. We didn't have laser printers, we had dot matrix printers. We didn't have the Internet. Invoices were printed on four-part forms. We used carbon paper, typewriters, did manual journal entries, and our computers were only for our accounting software. We didn't have Word or Excel.
This is making me sound real old!
Q: What kept you at Howard/Merrell for 26 years?
A: It's been a good company to work for – But it's mostly the "family" I have become part of that has kept me here.
Q: How has technology helped make the working environment better?
A: Internet access allows you to research facts, competitive ads, new business, etc. Mechanical pencils are also nice!
Email is both good and bad. It's good to have a paper trail but many times someone will send you an email instead of walking over and having a discussion with you.
Q: How do you think technology has hurt the working environment?
A: You're never away from work as you can be contacted by cell, email, and text. And you an carry around a laptop.
Q: Do you have a favorite client or campaign over the years?
A: I've enjoyed most of the creative we've produced. I've always thought our Christmas cards were a little "out there"!
Q: What keeps people happy at work?
A: A combination of things:
– Having happy fellow co-workers is key. One person that is down can bring the whole group down.
– Knowing peers respect you
– Working together as a group
– Acknowledgement
– Social gatherings
– Having good management that leads by example
Q: What will you miss the most about Howard/Merrell?
A: The people. And, my paycheck!
Week In Marketing: Cyber-bullying, Mother's Day Ad, YouTube's Birthday, Facebook's Growth
1. Twitter Looks to Stop Cyber-Bullying
Last week, Vijaya Gadde, Twitter's general counsel, wrote an opinion piece in The Washington Post describing the company's plan to restructure its safety policies and cut response times to abuse reports. The company is launching a program that will detect abuse, using signals and context that correlates with abuse. Cyber-bullying cannot be stopped all together, but Twitter is trying to take a step in the right direction it.

This could help Facebook as it attempts to take YouTube's spot as the top digital-video advertiser.
4. Hydrogen Fuel Video Campaign
There are a number of misconceptions about hydrogen fuel and for many it is even viewed as scary. As Toyota plans to introduce its new hydrogen fuel vehicle in October, the brand will be releasing videos depicting everyday hydrogen sources. Toyota hopes this video campaign will change consumers' perspective on hydrogen fuel.
5. Facebook Users Grow
Facebook reported that it now has a user base of 1.44 billion per month. Also the number of exclusively-mobile Facebook users has increased to 581 million.

Wedding Trivia:FLOWERSFrom the earliest times, brides have adorned their hair with flowers and carried bunches of flowers. Traditionally, each type of flower had a special meaning and significance in and of itself. Flowers were often thrown at the couple after the ceremony. However today, most brides pick their flowers for color and personal appeal not based on the traditional meaning of particular flowers.

Published November 14, 2012
Senior's work at polls spans 73 years
By Brian Louwers firstname.lastname@example.com
WARREN — When Frances Legree started working at the polls in the Warren area in 1939, Franklin D. Roosevelt was in the middle of his second term as the president of the United States.
On Nov. 6, 2012, Legree was at her post as an election inspector at Precinct 24 in the Warren Woods Education Center on Frazho, greeting voters and getting them ready to cast ballots in the recent presidential election.
"I did miss a few. I was gone for a few years when my husband was in the service," said Legree, 93, who moved to the Warren area from Detroit when she was 8, after being born in Illinois.
And by "in the service," she means in the Army, fighting in Europe during World War II.
"Fran," as her fellow poll workers call her, fondly remembers her husband, John, who passed away in 2000. She also remembers her son who died in 2002, and her daughter who passed away this year.
But none of it stopped Legree from working on the city's elections, a stint of service now spanning more than seven decades.
"All I know is that when I first started working on this, everyone voted at the Lincoln school," Legree said. "At one time my dad, my sister, and I all worked. That's going back a long time."
It's not just the candidates who changed throughout the years; in so many ways, the way voters cast ballots has evolved.
Although she said she misses the cumbersome, curtained, grey-steel voting machines of yesteryear, Legree has stayed on. She witnessed elections progress that transformed precincts with cardboard privacy barriers, ballot sleeves and optical scan machines.
"She's seen a lot of changes," said Larry Flynn, an election inspector who has worked alongside Legree for four years.
"She's always here. She's prompt. She's a hard worker," fellow election inspector Donna Charlton said.
Legree's ties to the city of Warren stretch beyond her 85 years in the area and her 73 years of work at the polls. Her brother-in-law, Bill Shaw, was elected Warren's third mayor and led the city from April 1961 to April 1967.
According to the rules governing the city's elections at the time, Legree said Shaw's service as mayor kept her from working at the polls when her brother-in-law was on the ballot.
"I just enjoy doing it," Legree said of her work on election days past and present. "I suppose meeting people — I've always enjoyed it."

Breast cancer risks: Not just a lady's concern
Apr 27, 2012, 8:40 a.m.
While many women are aware of the need to check themselves for signs of breast cancer and get regular medical screenings, most men would never think of this deadly ailment as a threat to male health. But breast cancer can and does occur in men as well, especially in seniors aged 65 or older. Let us look at the risk factors, diagnostic methods and treatments for male breast cancer.
A variety of biological and environmental factors can influence whether someone falls into the approximately 1 percent of men who develop breast cancer. According to WebMD, breast cancer risk factors for men include age, treatments for other cancers that employed radiation or estrogen therapy, and previous bouts of liver disease or testicular cancer. In some cases, however, genetic predisposition is the culprit. Genetic mutations, a family history of the disease, or a chromosomal disorder called Klinefelter syndrome all merit a complete breast cancer risk assessment.
Men who develop breast cancer have one notable disadvantage -- the lack of regular screenings that play such a standard part of modern medical care for women. Women are also better versed in how to check themselves for telltale thickenings or lumps that may indicate a tumor. A discharge from the nipple can also serve as a warning sign for men and women alike. These lumps are usually painless, so by the time one is detected manually it may have had a chance to metastasize.
A man who has any sings of possible breast cancer should have a biopsy performed to confirm the diagnosis before proceeding to the most common treatment, a mastectomy. (According to Jet Magazine, talk-show host Montel Williams had a double mastectomy in his youth only to learn afterward that the tumor was benign!) Prompt medical attention can prove a lifesaver for this little-known but dangerous enemy.

Ihave an existing Excel spreadsheet that is used to create shelf tickets for a shop. It is perfect if you want to print on plain A4 paper and cut the tickets out but I now want to print on A4 perforated paper. The spreadsheet is 2 colums and 21 rows, the perforated paper is also 2 colums and 21 rows but the margins on the spreadsheet are not the same as the perforated paper so it does not print correctly. Maybe the spreadsheet can be modified or you might have to start again from the begining. I don't have the experience to know. I will email a sample spreadsheet and a scan of the perforated sheet showing the appropriate measurements in millimeters.

Hey man, Mat Zo is a fucking awesome DJ. I agree Get Lucky is a bit wack but he's by far the best producer/dj i've discovered of the past year. I've listened to like 10 mixes of his in the past 3 weeks on his soundcloud, my favorites being trance around the world in bangalore and group therapy miami.
[–]always_usefulMilwaukee, WI (Hooters) ♂ 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I'll agree that he's a very talented producer. However, I've seen/heard way too many bad live sets from him to call him an awesome DJ.
