Early evidence suggests the company is on the verge of big market-share gains for tablet and smartphone chips. Also on the horizon are stronger sales of server chips, and even a stabilization in personal computers.
The shares (ticker: INTC), which badly trailed the Standard & Poor's 500 index in the past one, three, and five years, are outperforming this year. Now $24, they could double in five years, and perhaps sooner.
Long gone are the days when personal computers needed upgrading every couple of years as their chips fell behind the demands of new software. Today's Web-based programs leave the heavy thinking to Internet servers, and a five-year-old PC that can get a user online will do just fine.
A capital-spending spree could help Intel lower costs and win new foundry contracts. Stuart Goldenberg
This year, PC shipments have been slipping amid strong growth for tablets and smartphones. Intel seems heavily exposed to the wrong part of the market: Two-thirds of its revenue and a greater percentage of profit come from PCs. It enjoys an 80% market share for desktop chips and an 87% share for laptop chips, but just 1% for tablets and even less for smartphones.

Intel lately has been lifting its spending faster than sales. This year, earnings per share are expected to fall 12%, to $1.87. The stock trades for 13 times that figure, versus 15 times for the S&P 500. Dividend yields rise as share prices fall, and Intel's stands at 3.7%, nearly double the index's yield. Investors might do best to scoop up shares now and pocket that yield while waiting for the company's resurgence.
Last year, Intel spent seven times as much on chip research and development as No. 2 spender Qualcomm. This year it is outspending the world's largest chip foundry, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM), to invest in manufacturing. The result could be faster chips, lower power consumption, and lower-cost production than rivals for years to come.
Watch for four positive developments, starting with long-awaited gains in mobile devices. Intel launched its Atom processors in 2008 as low-cost components for netbooks, but has quietly moved them to the forefront of its development efforts. This year it launched Atom chips with cutting-edge, 22-nanometer designs, and next year it will move to 14 nm, while ARM-based chips likely will be stuck at 28 nm. The numbers refer to the line width of patterns created on chips. Finer patterns allow for faster processing, lower power consumption, or both. Samsung and Asus recently chose Atom chips to replace ARM-based chips in larger tablets that use Google' s (GOOG) Android operating system. Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Seymore calls that a harbinger of success, and expects Intel to gain share in tablets this year and smartphones starting next year.
That Was Then
Intel has trailed the market for many years, but that could start to change.
Gains in mobile may win Intel more fans among investors, but they won't boost revenue massively. Atom chips sell for less than $30, versus more than $100 for desktop and notebook chips, and nearly $600 for server chips, according to Wells Fargo analyst David Wong. Even if Intel grabs a 10% share in smartphones and a 30% share in non-Apple tablets, it would add only a few percent to its sales.
More important will be the increased data traffic from all those mobile devices, which will raise demand for server chips. The company reckons that 122 new tablets create the need for one new server, and each server is likely to contain at least two chips. Intel's server revenue, now 21% of the total, could grow at a midteens rate for several years and contribute richly to profits, according to Wong.
AS FOR PCS, MUCH OF this year's decline stems from global economic factors and a dearth of new models rather than fatigue among users, as evidenced by firm selling prices, according to Suji De Silva at Topeka Capital Markets. PC shipments could fall 7.8% this year but just 1.2% next year, predicts market researcher IDC. Wells Fargo's Wong thinks Intel will raise its desktop-chip revenue at low single-digit yearly rates in coming years, and laptop revenues at double-digit rates, on emerging-market growth and further market-share gains, now that rival AMD AMD 4.545454545454546% Advanced Micro Devices Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD2.53 0.11 4.545454545454546% /Date(1435870800281-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 31139432 AFTER HOURS USD2.52 -0.01 -0.3952569169960474% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 46517 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 1968491771.56277 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 529794 More quote details and news » (AMD) has fallen behind on high-end chips.
Finally, Intel's $12 billion capital-spending spree will help it reduce manufacturing costs and is winning it a new business line: high-end foundry contracts. This year it has signed small deals with Microsemi MSCC -0.8630609896432682% Microsemi Corp.

Long-term, foundry could be a backdoor to more chip-design wins in mobile.
Intel's earnings per share could rise 8% this year, to $2.02. Earnings could top $3 later in the decade, helping the stock attract a higher price/earnings multiple. Applying a market multiple of 15 to $3 of earnings yields a $45 stock. Add five years of dividends, assuming only modest payment growth, and that totals $50, well above the current price.

Just listen to the fifteen minute version of Voodoo Chile. Straight forward blues at its best. Burning of the Midnight Lamp features psychedelic aspects especially with the harpsichord. And what about the soulful vocals of Have You Ever Been (To Electric Lady Land)?
In addition to the stunning tones as outlined above, Jimi utilizes a wider instrumental definition outside of the guitar, bass, and drums. Numerous special effects and keyboards add a layering effect. Saxophones, flutes, and vocal harmonies soften up othet tracks. Also, Jimi Hendrix varies his singing approach from song to song which is certainly more appealing.
Electric Lady Land was recorded in 1968 but truly sounds well ahead of its time. It certainly sounds as fresh as many recordings just recording within the last few years. This one may just be Jimi's best.

Waiting for health insurance to deliver
When it was launched, it held a lot of promises. But years after, the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) has really not got off the ground, crawling rather than running, writes OLUKOREDE YISHAU
The corridors bear tell-tale signs of agony. Men in pain. Women in distress. Their eyes speak with tears. Their breath and footsteps leave no one in doubt that they need help. Even the looks of their relatives, who are with them, amplifies the distress in the air.
Welcome to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba, Mushin, Lagos, where a lot of the time there are not enough beds to accommodate the surge of patients, making many hang out on the corridors and praying that a patient on admission will be discharged to create the bed space.
It is not peculiar to LUTH, whose case has been worsened by epileptic power supply. In most public hospitals in the country, the space is never enough; the doctors are never enough; the equipment are begging for update; yet the patients keep surging. The private clinics, which are capable of offering succour, are unaffordable for the average Nigerian.
Over 90 per cent of disease-burdens are in the rural areas, but less than 10 per cent of the facilities are in the rural areas.
In the country's public health institutions, getting attended to properly is akin to seeking a place in paradise. Those who have given up and cannot afford to go to the expensive private clinics leave their fate to either the marabouts or pastors who offer miracles at no price. Some simply rely on herbs, which have been known to fail and cause irreparable damage.
Ask Goke Adeboye. The computer analyst recently got a call from his friend that his wife was in a tertiary health institution. There she was told there was no bed space to admit her. Yet she must be admitted. Adeboye had links with the hospital's publicist. He made contact and pronto, a bed space was found. But it was too late. She died less than 24 hours later.
The New York-based Centre for Reproductive Rights, in a report entitled 'Broken Promises: Human Rights Accountability and Maternal Deaths', said Nigeria has done little to address healthcare delivery.
The World Bank 2012 World Development Report (WDR) on Gender and Equality released last September 17 does not score the country high in health care delivery. Co-director, WDR Sudhir Shetty said: "In the case of Nigeria, what is observed is that the maternal mortality is still quite high, which is also a big issue in almost all parts of Africa. There is a need for necessary improvement in health care delivery."
The United Nations Human Development Report (UNHDR) also offers scary details which have made experts rule out the possibility of being able to combat diseases effectively. The report put Nigeria's life expectancy at birth at 48.4 years, a little rise from the 47.7 years recorded for the country last year. The 2010 report put the country's Human Development Index (HDI) at 0.423; this makes the country 142 of 169 countries with comparable data.
Nigeria is not within the high Human Development rank, neither did it make the High Human Development rating. It was not also ranked among the countries that made it to the Medium Human Development strata. Rather, it is in the lowest ranking nations in the Low Human Development category. It is on the 27th position, counting from the rear.
The report puts under-five mortality at 186 of every 1,000 live births. Low life expectancy impacts on the nation because it retards a country's development.
Since assuming office, Health Minister Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu has tried to prove that things would look up in the health sector. But not a few have dismissed his postulations as another lip service. No matter how hard he tries, the reaction may not change until verifiable changes are seen.
There is a good reason for the scepticism. The reason: Nigeria, with all its fiscal might, has been unable to knock its health sector into shape. Many Nigerians, especially the rich and the middle class, run abroad for medical help, resulting in a huge capital flight. Sadly, the Federal Government's average expenditure on health is about two per cent. State and local governments do not fare better. Annual budget for the health sector has always met with criticisms from observers who consider it too low to make any impact. African leaders over a decade ago agreed that 15 per cent of annual budgets of each country on the continent must be for health. Nigeria has not been able to meet this target. The sector gets less than 10 per cent of the annual budget.
Enter the National Health Insurance Scheme, which Dr. Ogey Ukeka, the Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer of Precious Health Care, a health insurance provider in Abuja, believes is the answer to lean health budget.
The scheme, for now, covers only government workers. Less than 40 per cent of the population cannot access it, partly for legal reasons.
The search for a comprehensive, cost-effective healthcare plan began in the 60s. Public health insurance was first considered an administrable policy in 1962 by the Halevi Committee. It was, however, not until 22 years later that government set up a committee on the desirability or otherwise of a National Health Insurance Scheme. Two more committees were set up in 1985 to further study the subject. An harmonisation committee was inaugurated to work out a feasible model in 1988. The National Council on Health deliberated on the recommendations of these committees. It convened a special meeting in July 2001, where the Council set up an Implementation Planning Committee. Though its enabling law indicate that it came into effect in 1999, it was in 2005 that it got off the ground.
By its plan, it should almost end the medical woes of Nigerians. Not just in terms of cost, but availability and quality.
The scheme comes in a package of six components and contributors are supposed to access a healthcare needs from approved public and private health service providers. Health Maintenance Organisations (HMOs), which are limited liability companies licensed by the NHIS to facilitate the provision of healthcare benefits to contributors under the Formal Sector Social Health Insurance Programme to interface between eligible contributors, including voluntary contributors and the healthcare providers.
The scheme, on paper, is mandatory for workers in the public and private sectors. They are to contribute five per cent of their basic salary to the scheme while their employers pay 10 per cent for each worker. The Nation gathered that six years after the scheme was officially launched, no federal worker is contributing the five per cent. But the government is making its 10 per cent contribution.
In 2005, when the NHIS was officially launched, then President Olusegun Obasanjo said: "With the start of the National Health Insurance Scheme, (NHIS), we see a future of opportunity to improve our health indicators, which is related to our poverty index. The scheme will never go the way of other government programmes. The scheme will prove to Nigerians that our administration is serious and sincere about the reform agendas."
But it is only long on promises, but short on delivery. That is why former Commissioner of Health in Lagos State, Dr Leke Pitan, said the country must get it right. In his words: "It has become a shame to start sending the sick abroad. There is no health care abroad that is a miracle. Things should be done properly to get result. There are Nigerian experts who are super qualified, but the working environment must be conducive for them to work. If the country wants them back to contribute to the health care delivery system, it should put in place infrastructure. Inadequate infrastructure adversely affects the sector's growth."
Only 5.3 million Nigerians (3.73 per cent of the population) are benefiting from the scheme. The beneficiaries are civil servants in federal employment and in a few states. 300,000 pregnant women and children under the Maternal and Child Health Project (MCHP) are also part of the beneficiaries.
The Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria (ACPN) has described the NHIS as a monumental fraud. The association said the scheme is with good intentions, but the implementation has been faulty and fraudulent.
Its National Chairman, Mrs Ejiro Foyibo, said the NHIS was meant to address the problems of healthcare funding in Nigeria.
Foyibo said: "Today, the reverse is the case. I boldly say that NHIS is a fraud. The pharmacists, physiotherapists, laboratory technicians have all been sidelined in the operations of the scheme.
"A situation where consultations, prescription, laboratory investigations, physiotherapy and dispensing of drugs are carried out by the same person is not in the best interest of the patient. It is unethical and exploitative. Nigerians, who are enrollees of the NHIS, should rise and ask questions on the functionality of the NHIS. We as pharmacists say no to global capitation."
The management of the NHIS has had to suspend a number of HMOs and HCPs. Analysts have interpreted this to mean the scheme is not working.
In the United States and United Kingdom, national health insurance schemes work. The British NHIS is so attractive that Nigerians, who are not resident in the UK, travel there and take advantage of it. A case in point is that of Bola Aiyelabola, who was delivered of quintuplets while on a visitor's visa to London, all on the bill of the Health Insurance Scheme.
Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Health Reform Foundation of Nigeria (HERFON), Dr. Ben Anyene, believes the expected goal of universal coverage by the scheme still seems distant. He said: "Overall, because of low coverage, the potential of the scheme to impact positively on all the sectors of the economy remains unleashed."
But the Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, NHIS, Dr Mohammed Dogo, feels much of the criticisms of the scheme are unfair. In a recent interview with this newspaper, he said a lot of the challenges facing the scheme are connected with its enabling law, which has to be amended.
He said: "We know National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) is a process, and it is not possible in a country like Nigeria to get everybody at the same time because people have their own trades, you can only invite somebody but you cannot force him to come. What we are interested in is for this Act to cover every Nigerian as much as possible and recognise the Nigerian that cannot contribute and for the government to take responsibility. If we can get that, then the covering is going to be wider."
Dogo said the scheme has a lot in stock this year for Nigerians.
The scheme was some days back granted membership of the Joint Learning Network, which means it can access resources from the World Bank, Department for International Development and the Rockefeller Foundation.
This, said Dogo, would help it achieve a 40 per cent coverage by next year and a 100 per cent coverage by 2015.
The NHIS, which hopes to become an agency when the new bill is passed, plans to make the scheme mandatory and has set December 2015 deadline to get all Nigerians to be enrolled for the scheme. Perhaps by then the corridors of tertiary health institutions will no longer host patients who cannot get bed spaces.

This week, we're pleased to introduce the George Cox Monkey Boot as part of our ongoing Friends of Fred project. Handmade at the company's Northamptonshire factory, these 14-hole lace ups have been crafted in high shine leather that develops its own individual character over time, improving with age.

The boot's unique shape hugs the ankle and tapers to the toe, making it ideal teamed with straight leg denim and a classic gingham shirt or Harrington jacket. The George Cox style features a leather lining, dual branding on the inner sock and an additional pair of yellow laces to add a pop of colour if preferred.

This is my HG brush for liquid foundation. Since my first use of it, I've never ever touched any of my other foundation brushes again. It gives a super silky smooth finish and saves a lot of time. The bristles are so dense the brush hardly absorbs any extra product, so your foundation may last you longer.
Will definitely repurchase!!

Where in the world has this brush been all my life?!?!?! I got it on sale but am ordering backups at full price. This thing is SO worth the money! I use Revlon Colorstay or Kat Von D Lock It and the brush melds them both with my skin perfectly ... No streaking, no hairs all over my face, I use WAY less product and it cut my foundation routine down to nothing. The makeup just looks and feels better on my skin. I even like it better than my Jamie Kern and that's saying a lot about this brush! It's extremely dense and soft at the same time. Oh yes, I'm in love with it!!! lol

No idea why I bought this cause I don't pack on foundation that much.
I like it for its softness and even application. Use it during the last step to even out my application.
Using it for blusher too.
So cheap I didn't mind using it wrongly. Ha~

I bought this on sale from Coastal Scents and I wish I had bought a backup of this brush. It buffs the foundation in so quickly, no streaks. Cuts down application tip and gives a really nice finish.

Wonderful blender brush for cream highlighter,foundations, bronzers - which could be used as an application brush as well.
The hairs are dense and not packed too loosely which is great. I'm sure there are comparable brushes from Elf (studio powder brush) or other makers, but this one stands alone. Its $10.89 including shipping from coastalscents.com. I highly recommend you purchase to add to your collection, it won't disappoint.

I do not find this brush to be any different than the $3 ELF Powder brush so why bother spending the extra money? Don't get me wrong, I actually love Coastal Scents--I like the brushes & the brand as a whole. Plus, this brush is soft, dense, & works well as a buffer or even a stippling brush. Can also be used for powder or even liquid foundation. I just don't think it's worth the extra money over ELF. I'd hate to think what kind of money other people are spending on these types of brushes. Nothing bad but nothing special in my opinion.

Absolutely love this brush for liquid foundation! Before, I used to use a lot of product and my fingers to blend, now I need only a few drops and this brush buffs and blends to a natural, smooth finish which I love.
It doesn't shed during use or after washing either.
Definitely recommend this! It has been and is currently on clearance so now would be a great time to pick it up.

I use this brush every day. It works wonderful with liquid foundation & powder. It blends in your liquid beautifully & if you're using it with powder it will give you a beautiful flawless application. Its a soft, but dense enough at the same time. It has NEVER once shed on me & the price is pretty awesome too. I just saw on Coastal Scents this went to clearance, I'd love to pick up another one!

LOVE it. Perfect for applying liquid foundation. Put foundation on back of your hand, dab around your face then buff away. Gives a perfect silky smooth finish. better priced then the sigma brush which is pretty much the exact same thing. After using this I will never go back to using original foundation brushes or sponges.

My Favorite Lip BalmI started the winter with really dry, cracked lips. I would constantly slather on another chapstick I had but to no avail. I decided to try Burt's Bees and I'm so happy I did. My lips are no longer dry and cracked. It provides a lot of moisture without feeling like you you've got thick goop on your lips. The smell and taste are nice and subtle as well. — 7 years, 5 months agoemerald52781 | 16 reviews

I have some pesky problem with my TG01. From time to time I receive tons of "Network messages", which show random 12-digits number. It seems, that those are Celltower ID-numbers. I do not receive them constantly, but rather at random days/locations. Today it's just impossible to work, because these annoying notifications come like every 30secs. Does anybody know, where I can turn off network messages? (btw, ISP is O2 Germany)

I thought it was about Chris Matthews outdeuling Pierce Morgan. Silly me, I should have known it was about adults playing with a round bally-ball. After all, kids games are sooo important!
Originally written on Red's Army | Last updated 2/24/13
The Blazers had lost seven straight going into tonight's game, but Wesley freakin' Matthews made sure that's where the streak would end. The C's got big games out of Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, but those two didn't get a ton of help. They drop a very winnable game 92-86. The Green: The Truth came to play. After early foul trouble, Pierce carried the Celtics and was the only reason why they had a shot to win this game. Pierce dropped 8 dimes, mostly to KG, who was on fire in the second half (5-9 fg in the second half, 4-7 in the 4th).

Rum And Coffee Gateau

|1 Tablespoon
|Strong coffee
|1⁄2 Pint
|Split walnuts
|8 Ounce
|20 Ounce
|20 Ounce
|Egg yolks
|Water icing
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
Line a cake tin, the same size as the sponge cake, with greased paper.
Split the cake across to make about 4 layers.
Cream together the butter and sugar until very soft and light.
Work in the 2 egg yolks, 1 gill of the coffee and the rum.
The mixture will doubtless have a curdled appearance, but this does not matter.
Put 1 layer sponge cake in the bottom of the tin.
Pour over enough coffee to moisten this.
Spread with a thin layer of the coffee mixture.
Put the next layer of sponge over the top, moisten with coffee and spread with coffee mixture.
Continue in this way until you put on the top layer of sponge.
Simply moisten this with coffee.
Put a piece of paper over the top of the cake and put a weight on top.
Leave overnight.
Remove the weight and paper and gently pour away any coffee that may have come to the top of the cake.
Turn out of tin.
Cover the top with a water icing and decorate with halved walnuts.

IN COLD BLOOD, by Truman Capote
With the 1965 publication of IN COLD BLOOD: A TRUE ACCOUNT OF A MULTIPLE MURDER AND ITS CONSEQUENCES, author
Truman Capote
declared the foundation of a new literary medium. "It seemed to me that journalism, reportage, could be forced to yield a serious new art form: the 'nonfiction novel,' as I thought of it," he said the following year. It would soon be recognized as one of the seminal works of the so-called New Journalism. The book, at least nominally adhering to the factual standards of professional reportage, details the real-life murders of a Kansas farm family, the Clutters: husband and wife, teenaged son and daughter. But it possesses many of the literary attributes traditionally associated with the novel: rhetorical style, dramatic structure, narrative tone, and, perhaps most of all, the development of psychologically vivid characters. The book's two central figures are the murderers, Richard Eugene Hickock and Perry Edward Smith. In truth, Capote was hardly the first author to merge fictive technique with journalistic effort, but perhaps no one before had ever brought readers into more intimate contact with and understanding of the minds of such destructive men. While Capote's fidelity to fact has been widely called into question, IN COLD BLOOD remains a most compelling and convincing investigation of human corruption. It confronts us with the disturbing fact of evil: no matter how alien it may seem from a distance, its elements become increasingly familiar the closer one looks.

Love the Shavata eyebrow kit and this is the only company I've found that stocks them now.
If you want really natural hd eyebrow. This kit helps you achieve this look with out going to the salon. Excellent product.
not at all what i expected not a reusable stencil and tricky to work with
Excellent service always on time , never fail to disappoint
always used these, and get them on a regular basis from Feel Unique
Very happy with these.
Excellent results from an ingenious product
I like the 'Nina' eyebrow stencil the best. For a smaller face, it is very proportionate. Definitely recommend! Don't be shy, try them out :) cheaper than hd brows from the salons and looks just as good.
Good service
Sorry have not used it yet but am sure I will be pleased with it.
This idea was new to me and I particularly liked the colour and quality of the pencil.
Perfect for the job
Great product, would recommend.
Do not think very highly of the Shavata Eyebrow Kit for the money. Recognised the brand as been a top brand in harrods, but find it is poor quality
Pretty good but a little awkward to apply
Excellent service my favourite website
Good product
Good range of shapes, very good brow pencil- great texture, great staying power.
Excellent kit for those who have sparse or over plucked eyebrows. Surprising the difference eyebrows make to your face!

Thank you Marge. I am very grateful that you went there and took the pictures. I wish that store was still open! I will probably just be content with what is on Find a Grave. I already have my family links to the Claiborns. They have many many descendants, so I don't really need control of their sites.
Many many thanks for your reply and for your contributions!

Claiborne Cemetery
Hi Marge.
I noticed that you took pictures at the Claiborne Cemetery in Camden County. I realize this is a very small family cemetery on the old Claiborne farm. Was it very difficult to find or get to? I'm asking because Ousley and Frances Claiborn(e) were my 3rd great grandparents, and I would like to visit the cemetery if it's something "doable". I live in Illinois just east of St. Louis, but I do visit my brother and his family who live near the Lake. I would appreciate any info you can give me as to the location and accessibility. Thank you!

I found a marriage license on Ancestry.com for a Hamilton Boggs and Luticia Brown in Gallia Co., OH.
The reason I am interested is I suspect Lutica Boggs of the 1850 Lawrence Co., OH census to be the mother of Hannah who married Jesse Lee Eastwood.
While one record gives Hannah's last name was Crane we find Jesse and Hannah Eastwood living next to Luticia Boggs in 1850 Lawrence Co., OH.
Then in the 1860 Catlettsburg, Boyd Co., KY census we find Letitia/Luticia Boggs living in their household.
Any thoughts?

I was wondering where the thread was for this.
I missed the first one, but the program has had some very good reviews from those in their 40s-60's on the BBC's arts shows, totally out of the target market.
I'll have hunt out the repeat and come back to the thread.

Hot and sweet pickled peppers are the perfect way to use up extra summer produce. Depending on your heat tolerance, you may want to start off with a relatively mild pepper like jalapenos or banana peppers and move on to serranos or something a bit hotter. Pickled peppers are delicious in a sandwich, atop nachos, or even blended with cream cheese.
6 pounds hot peppers
3 cups sugar
2 2/3 cups white vinegar, 5%% acidity
2 2/3 cups water
3 3/4 teaspoons pickling salt
Place a clove of garlic in each hot, sterilized pint jar. Use tongs to immediately fill jars with hot peppers. Fill jars with remaining liquid leaving 1/2-inch head space. Carefully run a nonmetallic utensil down inside of jars to remove trapped air bubbles.

Under current law, DoD is to begin to show measurable progress toward successfully completing an audit by undergoing a partial review of next year's financial statements. That 2014 deadline is fast approaching. Most outside observers are skeptical that the Pentagon will make it but DoD is still optimistic.
Mark Easton, the department's deputy chief financial officer, told DoD Reporter Jared Serbu the challenges are significant. This includes the fact that many of the enterprise resource planning systems DoD will need for long-term audit readiness still aren't ready for prime time.
