RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining BMS-247550 with gemcitabine in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific |
Drug: gemcitabine hydrochloride Drug: ixabepilone |
Phase 1 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase I Trial of BMS 247550 (NSC# 710428) and Gemcitabine in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumor Malignancies |
Study Start Date: | June 2002 |
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose, dose-limiting toxicity, and safety of BMS-247550 when combined with gemcitabine in patients with advanced solid tumors.
- Determine the plasma pharmacokinetics of this regimen in this patient population.
- Assess, preliminarily, any antitumor activity of this regimen in this patient population.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of BMS-247550.
Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 8 followed by BMS-247550 IV over 3 hours on day 8. The order of chemotherapy drug administration on day 8 is reversed during the second course only. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of BMS-247550 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, 9 patients total are treated at the MTD.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 40 patients will be accrued for this study.

Ultrasound - SonogramUltrasonography used in Pregnancy |
Ultrasound Examination | ||
What is an ultrasound scan?An ultrasound scan involves transmitting high frequency sound waves through the uterus. These bounce off the baby and the returning echoes (sound waves) are translated by a computer into an image on a screen that reveals the baby's position and movements.Hard tissues such as bone reflect as white in the image, and soft tissues appear grey and speckled. Fluids (amniotic fluid) do not reflect any echoes so appear black. The contrast between these different shades of white, grey and black allows your sonographer to interpret the images. Ultrasound information :- Who, Why, When? What happens during an ultrasound examination? Can the scan show the gender of my baby? Examples of ultrasonography you may see used during your pregnancy. | ||
Most parents look forward to their scan because it gives them the first glimpse of their baby. You will probably be give you a printout of your baby by the sonographer as a keepsake, it is important to remember the main purpose of the scan. It is not to provide the first photo for your baby album, or to find out your baby's sex. It is to check that your baby is growing and developing normally.Who will do the scan?Scans are usually performed by a doctors, midwives or radiographers who are specially trained in ultrasound, and are known as sonographers. Most have completed a post graduate Certificate, Diploma or Master's degree in Medical Ultrasound.Why do I need an ultrasound scan?Ultrasound has been used in pregnancy for about 30 years, it has progressively become an indispensible obstetric tool and plays an important role in the care of every pregnant woman.The common reasons for your doctor to request an pregnancy ultrasound scan are:
When are scans usually carried out?Five, six or seven weeks - If there is any need to check the viability of your pregnancy, you may have a early scan when you first visit your care provider. If you are experiencing pain or bleeding for example. This may rule out an ectopic pregnancy. You may have your first scan if unsure of the date of LMP.10 to 14 weeks - It is recommended that all pregnant women have a dating scan in the first trimester at around 12 weeks of pregnancy to confirm their dates. First trimester ultrasonic scans may show 'soft' markers for chromosomal abnormalities, such as the absence of fetal nasal bone, an increased fetal nuchal translucency (back of the neck) to enable detection of Down syndrome fetuses. About 18 - 20 weeks - Some women are offered a scan in the second trimester at around 18 to 20 weeks. Known as the anomaly scan or Level II to check that your baby is developing normally. A scan performed at 18 to 20 weeks the fetus is large enough for an accurate survey of the fetal anatomy. Congenital malformations, multiple pregnancies can be firmly diagnosed and dates and growth can also be assessed. Placental position is also determined. Further scans may be necessary if abnormalities are suspected. 28 to 40 weeks - Growth scans in the third trimester may be recommended if a previous baby was small, if you are having twins or when there are other complications of pregnancy, for instance if you are diabetic. Sometimes your midwife may suggest a growth scan if the baby feels and measures smaller or larger than expected. There is no hard and fast rule for the number of scans you should have during pregnancy. A scan maybe ordered when an abnormality is suspected on clinical grounds. Otherwise a scan is generally booked in the first trimester to confirm pregnancy, exclude ectopic or molar pregnancies, confirm cardiac pulsation and measure the crown to rump length for dating. | ||
Can the scan show the gender of my baby? | |||||||||||||||
It can show the gender of the baby from about 14 weeks, but if your baby is lying in the wrong position it may be difficult to tell. The ability to assign gender increases with increasing gestational age.
Most of the time they should be able to tell the sex of the baby by about 22 weeks. The correct visualization of any fetal part depends on many factors such as fetal position, amount of amniotic fluid and thickness of the abdominal wall. Some hospitals have a policy of not telling women the sex of the baby, as it is not usually possible to be 100 per cent certain. Ultrasound scans done in later pregnancy or 3D scans can make it easier to see the gender of a baby. The sonographer may not always get a good view of the private parts of the fetus for many reasons and therefore may not be able to give you an accurate answer. Details of Embryo genital development You will only know for sure when you, your midwife, or physician inspects the genitalia when the baby is delivered, sees ordinary male or female genitalia, and declares, "it's a girl" or "it's a boy" Examples of ultrasonography you may see used during your pregnancy. | |||||||||||||||

Product Description
CONCORD TS-6200 is a rutile pigment manufactured via CONCORD's chloride TS-6200 is a rutile pigment manufactured via concord chloride process.
Designed specifcally for the most demanding durability applications, TS-6200 offers excellent gloss retention coupled with unique dispersing capabilities.
Key Features
• High inital gloss
• Excellent gloss retention
• Super durability
• All in one premium pigment
• Super processibility
Suggestions for Use
TS-6200 is a specialty application pigment combining high gloss retention, good initial gloss, high hiding power, minimal dispersant demand and excellent dispersion. Recommended use is in:
• automotive coatings
• durable industrial coatings
• coil coatings
• fuorinated polymer coatings
Excellent Gloss Retention
Gloss is an important feature in many super durable coatings applications, and retention of gloss over the life of a product is of high importance to consumers.
Gloss retention is controlled by many factors, including resin chemistry and the inherent durability of the TiO2 pigment employed in the coatings.
Exceptional Durability via Silica Shell Technology TS-6200 couples an advanced silica coating technology with a proprietary surface treatment to give maximum resistance to photocatalytic degradation.
This new technology represents a signifcant improvement over the traditional method of silica encapsulation found on most super durable TiO2 pigments.
Superior Chalk Resistance Chalking and color fade are two common reasons for consumer dissatisfaction with durable coatings.
Both are caused by the degradation of organic binder from the flm surface, which leaves loosely attached TiO2 particles on the coatings surface. This not only results in a "chalky" appearance to the coating, it also gives color fade because the exposed TiO2 particles scatter light away from the flm before it can interact with the colored pigments.
Superior Dispersibility
The unique surface chemistry of TS-6200 is tailor-made for easy dispersion—dispersion so easy that in some cases laborious, multi-step grinds can be reduced to a single, fast grind. Rapid dispersion results in greater rate, not only because dispersion times are decreased, but also because TiO2 levels in the dispersion can be increased.
Low Dispersant Demand
The improved dispersibility of TS-6200 is also evident in its remarkably low dispersant demand.
TS-6200 needs as little as one fourth the dispersant load of other super durable pigments.
Lower dispersant requirements can lead to signifcant cost savings, and by removing dispersant from the paint, the coatings manufacturer has the formulating fexibility to replace dispersant with other key ingredients.
Safety Precautions
• Titanium dioxide is classifed as a nuisance dust. Follow all local
regulations and concord recommendations for exposure limits regulations and recommendations for exposure limits as described in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
If the recommended exposure limits of TiO2 are to be exceeded,
NIOSH-approved air-purifying respirators with particulate flters
should be used.
• As a matter of good industrial hygiene, gloves and safety glasses with side shields or better eye protection should be worn when handling TiO2. For more details, refer to the MSDS.
First Aid
• If large amounts of TiO2 are inhaled, remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artifcial respiration. If breathing is diffcult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
• In case of eye contact, immediately fush with water for at least
15 min. Call a physician. In case of skin contact, the compound is not likely to be hazardous, but cleaning the skin after use is advised.
Shipping Containers
CONCORD TS-6200 is available in 25-kg paper bags and 1 tonne semibulk containers.
Truckload shipments of the dry product will be available directly from CONCORD. Less-than-truckload volumes are available through authorized CONCORD distributors. Call your local sales offce for the distributor nearest you.

Ok, I was wondering what the core of the wing was made out of but yes I was talking about just use a drop of thin CA to hold the light on place on the SFG's, then put welders on it to hold it permanently but I will finish this thing tomorrow night and will see how park mounted them.
My "at first" comment meant the ailerons are totally unresponsive for the first 2-3 seconds then slowly and weakly the plane will roll left. Again is all at or near wot. This is a design error and could easily lead to a crash. Just think you power up the plane rolls right you add full left and nothing happens.
I will check the clearance of the motor and maybe try a washer or two this afternoon. |
Well, I have a bunch of clicks of left aileron and a few clicks of left rudder, and at full throttle it goes straight now. However, on a wot upline, it now goes to the left a little. So I'm thinking that this is not a thrust angle issue? Because, if it was, it should go straight up just like a level pass, right? So maybe the issue has something to do with lift? Because, on an upline the wings aren't producing lift and it goes left from all my left trim. Do you guys understand?

Yup, doesn't look like a thrust angle issue from the up line tests you and SD did. Also doesn't look like a binding issue with the motor collar either. Has anyone with the problem flown without the SFGs to see if that could be the issue? Some folks don't have the issue either from what it sounds like, so it might be a difference in setup. I know I usually don't bother putting the wheel pants or landing gear skirt on. Is everyone with the problem flying with those? What about the folks without the problem? I can imagine they might twist from the wind and cause some roll tendency.
hey all i just found these little buggers and i think they might work better than the hs65's the 65's have 25 OZ of torque at 4.8 volts and these have 27. plus they're MG.

My plane is done and will fly tomorrow morning maybe, and if not, this weekend at the Huckfest.
I'll be seeing the whole 3DHS crew there all weekend so I'll talk to them about it. Can someone go through and write up a difinitive description of the problem and how many of you are experieincing it? My personal opinion (without having flown mine yet, and only reading about it) is that it has something to do with the ailerons not having a perfect way to center. (i.e. a way to tape them centered to setup your linkages) It could be something as simple as the fact that the Edge540 graphic on the side of the fuse is different near the right aileron then the left aileron, so you might be thinking you have them matched right, but the right aileron might be a hair higher? Who knows, I'm thinking out loud but I'll be talking to the experts this weekend. I know Wamsy will be there and he has one as well as Joe Smith, so I'll speak to both of them. (and i'm sure they'll have a good trick to center the ailerons on this plane) moose Quote:
If it was ailerons the behavior would be present in all flight conditions. I can fly slow and the plane is great. Its only under power that it rolls. It does it with high and low power motors apparently.
Apparently a good way to center the ailerons is with the SFGs. As long as they're on straight (you used the holes on the wingtips correctly) then you can align the ailerons compared to the SFGs. I didn't even think about this as I tried to center then before even thinking about installing the SFGs. I'll be intersted to check how I did tonight when I get home.
I get it, so maybe more lift is is on the right wing than the left wing, measure your wings and see if they are the same length on each side, if they are not how much of a difference is it? I have not flown yet I will be doing linkages and radio setup tonight. |
I forgot the 1/16" piece of ply that broke out holding in the gear at home for a picture but it was already compressed a lot from the gear, it's a tight fit which was the reason I didn't(read forgot) to glue the metal gear in. Also on your CF rod additions, you might consider a rod across the middle front of the box since the gear does not extend all the way down to the bottom of the battery tray. It only goes half way. Which is where mine popped out. But on the flip side, if you glue everything together and hit hard enough, it'll probably take everything with it. I still think a more springy gear would help things last longer(in a hard hit). But again IMO normal landings in grass shouldn't be a problem for the gear, the plane floats in nice and easy. |

COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö While most Whitley County residents were relaxing after a long work week on a Friday night (Jan. 6), more than 200 local people were working to save the life of a Columbia City man, who spent more than the equivalent of an entire work day stuck in a silo at Ag Plus on Raber Road.
Gary Smith, 55, was cleaning the silo, which contained about 1,000 bushels of wet, soggy soybeans, when he slid to the bottom of the sloped ground and lodged his boot in the 18-inch opening at the bottom of the bin.
ŌĆ£A lot of people think I fell,ŌĆØSmith said. ŌĆ£I didnŌĆÖt fall anywhere. I walked it right down. I was standing in the wrong place and the hole got plugged. I was chopping at it with a scraper, when I knocked the plug out. It sucked me in.ŌĆØ
An accident that may have seemed harmless at first, turned into a potentially life threatening situation after Smith spent nearly eight hours encompassed by heavy, soggy, soybeans.
ŌĆ£I was just like a boat anchor,ŌĆØ Smith said. ŌĆ£It was annoying not being able to help myself. IŌĆÖm not a ŌĆśhere, you do itŌĆÖ kind of guy.ŌĆØ
After one and a half hours of effort by SmithŌĆÖs coworkers, the Jefferson Township Fire Department was called to the scene.
ŌĆ£Three of us were getting a house ready for a practice burn when the call went out,ŌĆØ JTFD Capt. Zach Rumsyre said. ŌĆ£I had plans to go out with my girlfriend that night. When the call went out, I thought, ŌĆśOk, lets get this goofball out of the silo so I can get on with my plans.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
Rumsyre, Craig Mattax and Brad Arnold, Captain of the Washington Township Fire Department, went to the scene, just a few miles from their location, expecting to pull Smith out of the silo and carry on with their evening as planned.
But after a couple more hours of unsuccessful attempts, Rumsyre called in the Fort Wayne Special Operations and Rescue Team (SORT), which specializes in unique circumstances, such as SmithŌĆÖs.
With his feet stuck in the hole, and the grain not very deep, Smith was safe ŌĆö for the moment.
ŌĆ£I wasnŌĆÖt going to sink any deeper,ŌĆØ Smith said. ŌĆ£But if more of it came, I wasnŌĆÖt going to be able to get out of the way.ŌĆØ
Though most of the time Smith didnŌĆÖt feel his life was threatened, he said the longer he was stuck, the more he thought about the possibilities.
ŌĆ£I had all kinds of time to do the math,ŌĆØ Smith said. ŌĆ£I figured I was above the grain by two feet.ŌĆØ
But as Smith looked around at potential ŌĆ£avalanchesŌĆØ of grain, he realized the seriousness of the circumstances.
ŌĆ£I looked around ŌĆö ThatŌĆÖll cover me up. ThatŌĆÖll cover me up. Oh, that one is going to kill me.
ŌĆ£I had it all going through my mind, whatŌĆÖs going to happen?ŌĆØ
As workers dug Smith out, nearly to his shoes, more grain would come down and theyŌĆÖd be back to square one.
ŌĆ£They finally just emptied it (the silo) after hours of that,ŌĆØ Smith said. ŌĆ£They took it clear down to bare floor.ŌĆØ
Though Smith made it out of the silo, getting him on the helicopter to transport him to the hospital was another challenge.
ŌĆ£My idea was ŌĆö theyŌĆÖre going to get me out of here, IŌĆÖm going to smell really bad and were going to joke about this on the back of the EMS (ambulance), then IŌĆÖm going to walk my happy a(expletive) over to my half-ton pickup and go home.
ŌĆ£Boy was I wrong.ŌĆØ
Medics told Smith that he not only needed to go to the hospital, but that the Samaritan was parked on Ind. 14 waiting for him.
ŌĆ£When he said helicopter, I said hell no,ŌĆØ Smith said. ŌĆ£I have no use for heights.ŌĆØ
But after some persuasion by the EMTs, he changed his mind.
ŌĆ£The EMT on the Samaritan said I was compressed long enough that I could have kidney trouble or blood clots. He said if they put me on EMS it could take 20 minutes to get to Fort Wayne,ŌĆØ Smith said.
ŌĆ£He (the EMT) said if there was a blood clot and it moved, I could be dead and thereŌĆÖs nothing they could do about it.ŌĆØ
In the helicopter, it took approximately six minutes to get from the scene to the hospital.
The pilot told him, ŌĆ£If you donŌĆÖt like it, close your eyes.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£I took two rides in the Samaritan all in one ŌĆö my first and my last. That's all I needed,ŌĆØ Smith said. ŌĆ£It didnŌĆÖt help my fear of heights one bit.ŌĆØ
At the hospital, SmithŌĆÖs levels balanced out quickly, and he was released by Sunday afternoon (Jan. 8), but not after drawing a fan club.
ŌĆ£It was like everywhere I went, they threw a red carpet down,ŌĆØ Smith said.
One nurse walked in and was honored to treat a famous patient.
ŌĆ£Do you know who you are?,ŌĆØ she said.
ŌĆ£Yeah,ŌĆØ said Smith.
ŌĆ£No. IŌĆÖm serious. YouŌĆÖre that guy who was in the silo. It was on Dateline. Wow. YouŌĆÖre like a celebrity.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£No, IŌĆÖm just an old clod kicker that got his foot stuck.ŌĆØ
Smith said heŌĆÖs sure he and his coworkers will be more cautious at work.
ŌĆ£It gives everybody a reality check,ŌĆØ Smith said. ŌĆ£Maybe it was good in a round-about way. We have a very dangerous job and everybody needs to be more careful.
ŌĆ£If the grim reaper was going to get me, he just missed his chance,ŌĆØ Smith said.

Soap Opera Socialite is "saying AMC fans, good new is coming your way" on twitter. I am sure it is DVD's or something of that nature. Does anyone know how reliable Soap Opera Socialite is?
Posted 08 October 2012 - 05:26 PM
This person does soap opera events, though he used to be based out of Chicago. On their website they have information on an AMC event they are having in LA this year.
Posted 09 October 2012 - 02:02 PM
He used to date a friend of mine; just recently moved from Chicago to L.A. He's bff's with Terri Ivens.

- For more than 20 years, artificial intelligence techniques have been applied to the development of computer programs that solve difficult problems. Although several expert systems are well known, it is all too easy to circumscribe the field based on these few examples. The purpose of this paper is to present the fundamentals of the field (the Primer), and to give a broad overview via concise descriptions of many rule-based expert systems and knowledge engineering frameworks (the Catalog).

By Julie PhaneufIn Canada, the Royal Bank of Canada
(RBC), the Toronto-Dominion Canada Trust (TD), the Scotia bank, the bank of
Montreal (BMO) and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) dominate the
region. The banks compete against each other to obtain the greatest volume of
managed funds in order to gain the first position in the top five banks, using
every marketing strategy available. RBC and TD are two ferocious competitors
currently ranking first (RBC) and second (TD) in the top five. However, because
their focus is on the quality of their products and offers, the Royal bank will
certainly remain in the first position.

Choosing the Right Customer All companies claim that their strategies are customer driven. But when "customer" means any number of entities in a company's value chain—consumers, suppliers, retailers, even internal units like R&D—managers tend to lose focus, and their firms become vulnerable to competitors who have clearly defined who they serve and how. In this article, Robert Simons of the Harvard Business School presents a framework that can help companies develop strategies that are truly customer-centric.
Seven Strategy Questions To stay ahead of the pack, you must translate your organization's competitive strategy into day-to-day actions that will enable your company to win in the marketplace. This means channeling resources into the right efforts, striking a balance between innovation and control, and getting everyone to pull in the same direction. How do you accomplish all this?
How to Stress-Test Your Strategy An Interview with Robert L. Simons What are the biggest problems companies face in executing their strategies? Robert Simons explains why management teams must ask themselves tough questions, like "What could cause our business to fail?"
The Business of Business Schools: Restoring a Focus on Competing to Win As business leaders worry about the decline of American competitiveness, business schools are responding by changing their curriculums. But are the topics and approaches taught in today's business schools part of the solution or part of the problem? In this paper, I explore the possibility that four trends in current MBA curriculums—theory creep, mission creep, doing well by doing good, and the quest for enlightenment—are teaching students to be uncompetitive in today's global markets. If this hypothesis is true, I argue that business school curriculums should be re-centered around the tough choices needed to compete—and to win.
The Entrepreneurial Gap: How Managers Adjust Span of Accountability and Span of Control to Implement Business Strategy This HBS working paper focuses on the relationship between business strategy, organization structure, and diagnostic control systems. The project analyzes data from 75 field studies to illustrate how managers adjust span of accountability and span of control to motivate different levels of innovation and entrepreneurial behavior. Six propositions are derived inductively about when, why, and how managers make these choices.
Levers of Organization Design How Managers Use Accountability Systems For Greater Performance And Commitment The design of an organization—the accountability system that defines roles, rights, and responsibilities throughout the firm—has a direct impact on the performance of every employee. Yet, few leaders devote focused attention to how this design is chosen, implemented, and adjusted over time. Robert Simons argues that by viewing design as a powerful and proactive management lever--rather than an inevitable outcome of corporate evolution—leaders can maximize productivity across every level of the organization.
Levers of Control How Managers Use Innovative Control Systems to Drive Strategic Renewal Based on a ten-year examination of control systems in over 50 U.S. businesses, this book broadens the definition of control and establishes a critical bridge between the disciplines of strategy and accounting and control. In addition to the more traditional diagnostic control systems, Simons identifies three new control systems that allow strategic change: belief systems that communicate core values and provide inspiration and direction, boundary systems that frame the strategic domain and define the limits of freedom, and interactive systems that provide flexibility in adapting to competitive environments and encourage organizational learning. These four control systems, according to Simons, will provide managers with the basic levers for pursuing strategic objectives.
Performance Measurement and Control Systems for Implementing Strategy For undergraduate Management Control Systems courses and other MBA Management Accounting and Control electives. This book represents an innovative new approach to management control systems, based on the latest research and practice. Using a carefully integrated structure, it shows how today's managers use both financial and non-financial controls to drive strategies of profitable growth in rapidly changing markets.

Amid Monday's deluge of layoff announcements, it's hard to tell whether Caterpillar's (NYSE: CAT ) drop in earnings or its personnel cuts deserved center stage. Based on the sheer number of people being let go, I'm opting for the latter.
In announcing its quarterly results on Monday, Caterpillar said that it'll cut about 20,000 jobs worldwide. About 12,000 of those affected are Caterpillar employees, while the rest are contractors. For the sake of perspective, that figure compares to a companywide contingent of just less than 113,000 at the end of 2008.
At least among the companies I follow closely, the company's reduction in force is one of the largest yet, significantly larger than competitor CNH Global's (NYSE: CNH ) miniscule "restructuring" of 100 layoffs in November, or Terex's (NYSE: TEX ) staffing reductions made public last October.
From a purely financial perspective, the picture wasn't much brighter at Caterpillar. The company earned $661 million, or $1.08 per share, compared to $975 million, or $1.50 a share, in the fourth quarter a year ago. For those of you keeping track, that's a 28% decline year over year on the net income per share line. For the full year, its revenue was $51.3 billion, up 14% from the 2007 top line.
Looking ahead, Caterpillar's CEO Jim Owens noted that 2009 revenue is expected to come in somewhere between $36 billion and $44 billion. In that range, and with the sizable cuts being made to the company's payroll, along with reductions in SG&A, R&D, and other expenses, he believes that Caterpillar can achieve a profit of about $2.50 per share for the year.
So how should Fools approach this machinery behemoth, which as recently as late August was maintaining that its order book in Asia was so strong that it expected to be sold out there through 2010?
- First, I'd combine the new information about Caterpillar's extremely soft fourth quarter with the data we'll receive when fellow equipment maker Deere (NYSE: DE ) reports its results in mid-February.
- Second, given the precipitous decline management expects in Caterpillar's revenue in 2009, I'd be very, very careful about moving into the company's shares with anything less than extremely careful deliberation.
Caterpillar is a four-star-rated company as judged by Motley Fool CAPS members. Sign up today to voice your opinion on the company's direction.

When I create a new peer review using this file, it picks up the revision number as 3, not 4, and I can find no way to change this. The result is that when people go to input their review comments, instead of displaying the source code file, they receive this error:
