Sofab Love Seat
The description on the website in regards to the fabric was lacking, I would have prefered a different fabric, but the color was spot on. The seat cushions are misshaped. I've had the loveseat put together now for a month and the cushions look awful. All of the cushions are super firm, not very comfortable. The instructions were very difficult to interpret. Though the loveseat was easy to put together, the instructions were confusing. There was no "dust cover", it is mentioned in the instructions several times but none came with my loveseat. Had I known the fabric would be held down with velcro, I most likely would have chosen a different product. Overall, I'm really not happy with the loveseat.Read More

Hello,16cindy. Hope your day is going well.

Are we too attached to our mobile phones?
Relevant offers
Digital Living
OPINION: What would Emily Post, the American author famous for writing on etiquette, make of the use of digital gadgets at the restaurant table?
The question occurred to me when I spotted four diners at a nearby restaurant table simultaneously eating and using their phones. Not a word of conversation passed between them. A fifth companion sat mutely, seemingly in a despondent state.
In response, I imagined how Emily Post would respond to my concerns about such behaviour, despite her death 52 years ago:
Dear Ms Wood,
I find that I have some sympathy with your position. I too struggled to maintain my composure at a recent luncheon engagement when a young woman at a proximate table spent a not-inconsiderable amount of time talking stridently into her portable telephone about a young gentleman of her acquaintance without so much as an ''I beg your pardon''.
I felt inclined to remind her of one of my maxims of social engagement: ''consideration for the rights and feelings of others is not merely a rule for behaviour in public but the very foundation upon which social life is built''.
And, it must be said, these are not victimless crimes. I was so discombobulated by this young lady's risque conversation that I used my fish knife to butter my bread. But surely the greatest victim is society itself.
Perhaps as a start, however, I can offer these rules for decorous behaviour in the contemporary restaurant environment:
- A portable telephone should not be laid on a restaurant table. It is not a piece of flatware. If an emergency call is expected, or the telephone required for some other purpose, the telephone may be turned on to vibrational mode and laid on the lap underneath the napkin.
- If a call must be taken, the receiver of the call should excuse him or herself and adjourn to a quiet area of the restaurant, returning to the table as swiftly as possible.
- Under no circumstances should a portable phone be used to show holiday snapshots or real estate photographs. It can be used briefly to show photographs of infants and then returned to the lap.
- A portable phone or camera can be used to take photographs of the food if: a) the photographer has first asked other diners at the table; b) the photographer has turned off the flash; c) the photographer does not expect other diners at the table to wait to eat their food; and, d) the photographer is aware that, by taking photographs of the food in front of him or her, he or she will be seen by one and by all as a buffoon.
- A portable telephone should not be used to check a football game's scores during a restaurant meal unless all parties have a mutual and deep interest in that football game.
- Under no circumstances should a diner converse on a portable telephone while simultaneously using hand gestures to direct waiting staff.
- Portable computers, telephones and gaming devices should not be used to buy children's silence.
I do hope that with this answer I have assisted you. Indeed, I am not ungrateful that you have exercised my own mind on this subject. I would, of course, be most interested in the opinions of my loyal readers on this matter.
Very sincerely yours,
Emily Post

Drug compound mitotoxicity, or toxicity within mitochondria, is now an important part of testing during drug discovery. Multiplexed cell-based mitochondrial assays increase sample throughput and decrease variability, costs and overall time for project completion. The utility of an automated multiplex assay to both assess and distinguish between cytotoxicity and mitochondrial function is presented in this application note from BioTek. The assay was carried out in both primary hepatocytes and immortalized HepG2 liver carcinoma cells. The combination of instrumentation, assay chemistry and primary hepatocytes is an ideal solution to accurately predict potential mitochondrial toxicity in lead compounds.

Author Info
|Theodore Taylor
|Before becoming a full-time writer, Taylor's careers included newspaper journalist, merchant marine, and press agent. His first novel, THE CAY, was published in 1969 and tells the story of a black West Indian sailor named Timothy and a white boy named Philip who are marooned on an island--the only survivors of a shipwreck. This work won many awards but also created controversy, as many considered the depiction of Timothy racist. Because of this controversy, Taylor was eventually asked to return the Jane Addams Children's Book Award that had been given to him for this work. Taylor asserts that THE CAY is not a racist book, that the character of Timothy, modeled after a real person, is indeed a hero and not a stereotype. A sequel/prequel to THE CAY, TIMOTHY OF THE CAY appeared in 1993.

Report Blames ATF Agents For Botched Gun-Trafficking Operation
A report by congressional Republicans places new blame for the botched gun-trafficking operation known as Fast and Furious at the feet of federal agents at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives who failed to share information and coordinate with sister law enforcement agencies.
The report distributed by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, says ATF agents and supervisors should have realized two targets of their criminal case along the Southwest border had already been under investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI.
The associates of the violent Sinaloa, Mexico, cartel ultimately became "national security assets," or paid confidential informants of the FBI, and therefore were essentially shielded from prosecution.
"This means that the entire goal of Fast and Furious — to target these two individuals and bring them to justice — was a failure," the Issa report said. "ATF's discovery that the primary targets of their investigation were not indictable was 'a major disappointment.' "
The report also says prosecutors in the criminal division of the Justice Department in Washington should have carefully reviewed sworn statements filed alongside wiretap applications in the Fast and Furious investigation. But, as was their practice at the time, they did not do so — failing to take notice of troubling details about ATF agents observing purchases of guns that were handed over to suspicious people and then recovered inside Mexico's borders as soon as a day later.
Attorney General On Capitol Hill
Issa released the report as Attorney General Eric Holder heads to Capitol Hill on Thursday to answer questions for the sixth time about the debacle. Fast and Furious broke into public view after the December 2010 death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent. Two guns connected to the botched gun-trafficking operation were found near the body of Brian Terry, igniting two congressional probes and an ongoing investigation by the Justice Department's inspector general.
For his part, according to prepared testimony and Justice sources, Holder is likely to emphasize a series of reforms the Justice Department has imposed in the aftermath of the scandal, including a management shake-up at ATF, new layers of oversight for cases involving gun trafficking and confidential informants, and stiffer reviews of letters that go from Justice to Congress. The department took the extraordinary step of withdrawing a Feb. 4, 2011, letter to lawmakers because it contained inaccuracies about whether American guns were allowed to flow into Mexico.
Holder says he wants to work with Congress to draft new laws to go after the flow of illegal weapons along the border, not to engage in "cynical finger pointing" and "gotcha" games.
Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, led by Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, issued their own report on Fast and Furious earlier this week. That report all but absolved the Obama Justice Department of responsibility for the botched operation and localized the problem to the ATF and the U.S. attorney's office in Phoenix, both of which have been the focus of management shake-ups and resignations since the congressional investigations began a year ago.

Dan Aziz always knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur, but he didn't know what type of company he'd start until he spent a little time in a Providence supermarket. Interviewing customers for a Brown University class in the nutritional-supplements aisle of a local Whole Foods, Aziz heard persistent complaints about the size and taste of vitamin pills for pregnant women, sparking an idea. Aziz created Premama, a drinkable, prenatal supplement that's now on the shelves of the same Whole Foods where he was interviewing customers, as well as in Target and infant chain Buy Buy Baby. In September, Aziz's Luna Pharmaceuticals Inc. closed on the first half of a $1 million funding round led by Cherrystone Angel Group, which allowed the Providence company to hire its second full-time employee and move to expand. more

Emerald City Recordings, submitted by Anon. There is too much happening on this page with dorothy dancing around and the big staring mean man who reminds me of crustacean themed luchador The Claw, only Claw has less lightning bolts and is less annoying and probably smells less like dead seafood than people who are writing this computer book. They are having a CD - which is like a record only it is playing with dangerous laser that are contained within a plasma fields to keep from shooting out your eyes - that is about Homicide and murdering people. Also I am told by editor-types Rich and Zack that this book is being written by rudos supreme who is not thinking about the rules of good behavior and is fast toward the boat called "lawsuits".
13 TRAKS of GrindCore PowerGroove Rock 'N' Roll metal...73 minutes of FireBreathing BloodSpitting Flying 'V's from HELL!kontains klassik KISS kover "COLD GIN" (hidden/bonus trak)
I am not given to knowing who Kiss or rock band Klassik or Bloodspitting Flying V's, which is sounding like thing that happens after Major Corporals and Lieutenant Von Majors are performing with airborne kicks in their somewhat edging towards rudos tag team "Mexican Kicking Division". I am hearing of GrindCore and PowerGroove, these are wrestlers who are in the rings in Tijuana in the early eighties and PowerGroove would yell "lightning smack!" before each of his hits (which are too weak to put Yours Truly down for the counts). GrindCore is not so good either and he is retired now from spine columns injury that is leaving him in wheelchair and eating the foods out of a blender and through a pipe.
I am appreciating their fan natures of wrestling scenes but I am not overall liking the evil and murder they are talking about. I know it can be what the kids like some places these days although these men are perhaps a bit on the saucy side of the bed if you are seeing what I'm getting at.
When I get to fretting about the troubles of my day I like to put on a record that is calming my nerves. It is by wrestler going by name of Emperor Charles Les Maim and he is Mexican but he is pretending with French accent and he has quite the calming voice that goes well with the soft notes on the album. I am not having album cover to put into this computer book to show to you because the fumes that are floating off of American Chemical Factory drainage pit are removing color from everything and it all looks like two snow bears dancing in the blizzards. I am instead attempting to exercise my muscles in my mind and my hands that connect to the computer and draw this one up from the memories.
Friends, this is where the relaxing is to be had, not inside the ugly devil paint which is what Emerald City Recordings is wanting to tell you. So sit back and calm it down with Charles Les Maim and listen to the tones that are soothing over the troubled waters.

The administration says that if the government's borrowing authority is not increased by Aug. 2, the U.S. will face its first default ever, potentially throwing financial markets into turmoil.
Obama isn't calling for increases in tax rates. On Tuesday, the president urged Republicans to agree to eliminate "certain tax breaks and deductions for the wealthiest of Americans." The White House is pressing for the repeal of tax breaks enjoyed by the oil and natural gas industry and limits on deductions claimed by people in the 35 percent tax bracket.
On Tuesday, Boehner attacked the latter proposal as an assault on small businesses but was subdued on questions like oil and gas subsidies or a much-publicized tax provision that gives favorable treatment to companies that buy corporate jets.
"We're not dealing just with talking points about corporate jets or other 'loopholes,'" Boehner, R-Ohio, said. "The legislation the president has asked for, which would increase taxes on small businesses and destroy more American jobs, cannot pass the House, as I have stated repeatedly."
In his remarks Tuesday, Obama said he strongly opposes a stopgap, short-term debt-limit increase, as suggested by some lawmakers.
"We've made progress, and I believe that greater progress is within sight, but I don't want to fool anybody. We still have to work through some real differences," the president said.
Obama's tone was less partisan than at a news conference last week, as were the responses from Capitol Hill Republicans.
"I'm pleased the president stated today that we need to address the big, long-term challenges facing our country," Boehner said in a statement.

What Makes Donald Trump Smile Today?
"I think our candidates should pledge not to run as a third-party candidate."
— RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, quoted by Politico.
Mike Huckabee Needs Ethics Lesson
Mike Huckabee is willing to resort to anything in order to make a headline.
Huckabee evoked imagery of Nazi death camps when discussing the deal over Iran's nuclear program this weekend even going so far as to say President Barack Obama "would take the Israelis and basically march them to the door of the oven."
"This president's foreign policy is the most feckless in American history. He's so naive he would trust the Iranians and he would take the Israelis and basically march them to the door of the oven. This is the most idiot thing."
The former minister who loves to talk about morals and righteousness might also want to take a lesson or two in ethics. I cannot image this was the Christian approach that he wants voters to feel he lives by, or how he deals with complex policy questions.
He also might bone up on the on diplomatic deal so he can talk constructively about it rather then need to resort to the lowest common denominator type of campaigning that turns off many citizens from listening further.
Rand Paul Seeking The Bottom
Long time readers to this blog know I have no warmth for Ron Paul or his son Rand. To them government is something just to dismantle and scorn. They always like to make it seem they are so erudite and as such the people should hush, listen, and learn as they tell the story of how once upon a time our nation was stolen from us by unconstitutional means. There is always the sense that black helicopters are lurking just over the horizon.
I follow those who I find adrift from reality but seek public office. (Yes, my days are busy.) As such I am following the campaign of Rand Paul in his quest for the White House.
My first thought on the day he entered the contest is the same I have today. What is he doing in the Republican Party?
Paul does not agree with Republicans on many matters, such as foreign and military policy, and they do not think him worthy of their time. There seems no one willing to quench Paul's thirst which results from Potomac Fever.
The latest story to make the news sums up the pitfalls that is now the Paul campaign.
Something is awry at the Rand Paul campaign. The main super PAC supporting his presidential bid raised just $3.1 million in the first half of 2015, about $100 million less than Right to Rise, a super PAC backing Jeb Bush. In fact, the pro-Paul group's fundraising total was lower than that of every other major super PAC that is backing a Republican candidate and has announced its totals. On Sunday, a new NBC News/Marist poll showed support for the Kentucky Republican declining to just 4 percent in New Hampshire (compared with 14 percent in February).
The Des Moines Register and Quinnipiac University polls found that Paul's net favorability had dropped in Iowa by 18 and 14 percentage points, respectively, compared with the beginning of the year. In New Hampshire, Paul's net favorability rating has sunk by 15 percentage points according to the University of New Hampshire and 11 percentage points according to Suffolk University.
Defending Scott Walker
There is an old adage that you have not really worked in broadcasting until you have been fired once. It now might be said of the 2016 Republican presidential candidates that one is not really in the race until being attacked by Donald Trump.
If that is true, than Scott Walker is now a real contender for the White House.
He moved onto Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. He said that the state of Wisconsin is doing "terribly" and accused Walker of being a flip-flopper.
"He was totally in favor of Common Core," Trump said. "Scott Walker changed when he saw he was getting creamed."
Trump said he was retaliating for nasty comments made by a Walker fundraiser.
"Today I read this horrible statement from his fundraiser guy about Trump, and I say, 'Finally, I can attack. Finally,'" Trump said.
Lord knows I am no fan of the Wisconsin Governor. I have many serious concerns over policy decisions that he has made over his time in office. I have questioned the way his election for recall was funded and supported the John Doe probe.
So I find it odd this morning after reading the comments from Trump that I feel like, "Back off dude, and leave him alone."
Donald Trump can bring out the truly weird in all of us.
My reaction comes from the way Trump is running for president, and not over issues that are and should be a part of any election. I have been stunned by the bombastic and nasty way Trump uses the campaign process to get headlines. It seems that Walker is now in the verbal line of fire from the billionaire, and should expect more.
To say that since the Walker campaign was critical of Trump now gives license for another attack to begin in the campaign is offensive to me. Sure I know how the real world of politics operates. I also am well aware if there is any one with a record to complain about it would be that of Walker.
But instead of attacking Walker how about proposing some alternatives and working to make people want to pay attention to the political process instead of being repulsed by it?
Walker at least, for all his faults, does not make people wonder how he became so nasty, or wonder how much dirtier he plans to go in his hunt for the nomination. Walker may be wrong far more than he is right but I would want to chat with him over coffee on my front lawn. Trump would never get past the terrace.
I suspect I am not alone in finding Trump so loathsome that I feel it important to come to Walker's defense over the tone of the election.
The Senate voted 67-26 today in order to advance a measure that will allow for the resuscitation of the Export-Import Bank. This was most important as it has been languishing since the end of June when its charter expired. Make no mistake about this win as it took Democrats and many establishment Republicans–the very members of the GOP who I have always encouraged to work for the higher needs of the nation and gain control of their party from the right-wingers–who have been pushing for its revival.
There are still battles to fight before we can claim victory over the bank. The Senate is moving to attach the bank charter to a highway funding bill, which the Senate and House are deeply at odds over.
But for a partisan congress that often seems unable to walk and chew gum at the same time this was a most crucial vote.
This is the way Washington once worked, and needs to work again.
"Trump has surged to the lead in the New Hampshire … primary and virtually erased Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's advantage in the Iowa caucuses, according to new NBC News/Marist polls … In Iowa, Walker still tops the field with 19 percent … two points ahead of Trump … Interviews … began on July 14 – the day after the Walker campaign's launch event in Wisconsin. The only other candidate in double digits is … Bush, at 12 percent. …
Reason For Democrats To Continue Smiling–Donald Trump Looms Large In New GOP Presidential Poll
I could talk about how unseemly Donald Trump is, what he is doing to the process of electing a president, and other related concerns about his tone and actions. But that needs to take a back seat today to a new CNN/ORC poll that is showcasing the huge problems that confront the Republican Party.
It is also the same news that is making every Democrat smile this morning. Just as we have inwardly–or even outwardly– been doing since Trump entered the race for president.
Today we learn that Donald Trump has increased his support among GOP voters and now stands atop the race for the party's nomination, according to the latest CNN/ORC poll. As I will point out below there is no way that respondents are thinking seriously or clearly about this matter.
Among Republicans, Trump has 18% support, followed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 15%. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has 10% support among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who are registered to vote. The margin of error is 3.5 percentage points.
Trump's backing has climbed 6 points since a late June poll, while support for Bush and Walker has not changed significantly. None of the other 14 candidates earned double-digit support.
This poll is the first publicly released national telephone survey to be conducted entirely after Trump's criticism of Sen. John McCain's military record during an Iowa campaign event last weekend, drawing rebukes from other Republicans for saying he didn't think McCain is a war hero.
The internals show some just quirky findings.
Consider that a sizable 22% say they think he'll eventually win the party's nomination for president. There is no plausible way for anyone to construct a scenario where Trump beats the campaign infrastructure of Jeb Bush or Senator Rubio. There is no way that serious primary voters will discount large and complex policy matters for the simplistic rhetoric of Trump.
15% say they'd like to see Trump make an independent run for the presidency. That would spell sure doom for any Republican chance to win the White House. One has to wonder how educated this polling sample is since there is no way to take this seriously.
58% of white evangelicals surveyed wants Trump to remain in the race. So am I to assume that Trump's pro-choice actions are now acceptable to Iowa's most right-wing voters?
Clearly what this poll shows is that some Republicans who only read the headlines–and there have been many in the past weeks touting Trump–are easily led to follow the loudest and most brash. I know the establishment wing of the party–even what constitutes that today given the GOP's far right tilt–will in the end nominate a far more moderate and intelligent person. A candidate that might even win.
It will not be Donald Trump.
It will be Jeb Bush.

Texas Introduces Coach Charlie Strong
Updated: Monday, January 6 2014, 06:43 PM CST
The University of Texas' new head coach Charlie Strong received a warm Texas welcome on a cold Monday afternoon in Austin.
Traditionally, Strong breaks the mold. He becomes the first African-American head coach of any men's sport in Texas history.
"I don't ever want to look at is as I'm a first," Strong said. "I want to look at it as I'm a coach and that's the way I wanted to be treated."
President Bill Powers said out of all the candidates who were considered, Strong was his first choice to take over the program.
"We got the right person," Powers said. "Character, toughness, and everything you look for in a coach. It is a very historic day."
It was historic because the numbers do not lie. Out of the 125 Division I football coaches, 12 are African-American.
"What you need to think about is all the African-American coaches that you are representing right now who did not get the chance that you're getting and that's all that needed to be said," Strong said.
In the end, it is not race that makes or breaks coaches; instead it is wins and losses.
"It's all about championships at the end," Strong said.
In only four years as head coach, Strong has proven himself worthy of running a major college football program. He transformed Louisville into the powerhouse that it is today, and he said while he is at UT he plans to build on the premier program that Mack Brown is leaving behind.
"I want our players to understand this; you're here to get a degree. When you get a degree you will always have options in life," Strong said. "Number two; let's go win football games lets go win championships. Number three; I want to make sure [players] leave here a better person when they came into this university."

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Venture capital (VC) funding in the Life Sciences sector, which includes the Biotechnology and Medical Device industries, gained in Q3 in terms of dollars compared to the second quarter of 2012, but the sector still trended downward for the year, according to a new PwC US report, "Biotech bounce," that includes data from the PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP/National Venture Capital Association MoneyTree™ Report, based on data from Thomson Reuters.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100917/NY66894LOGO )
Venture capitalists invested $1.7 billion in 181 life sciences deals during the third quarter of 2012. When compared with the same quarter of last year, that performance represented a drop of 12 percent in dollars and 8 percent in number of deals. Quarter-over-quarter life sciences funding fared better, gaining 16 percent in dollars but declining 2 percent in number of deals. A 64 percent leap in biotechnology funding drove the quarter-over-quarter increase.
"The 16 percent gain for the life sciences sector reversed a four-quarter decline," said Tracy T. Lefteroff, global managing partner of the venture capital practice at PwC US. "Yet the sector won't outpace 2011 unless it gets a boost during the final quarter. Regulatory uncertainty, capital intensity, and investment time horizons remain challenging issues for would-be investors in the sector."
For all sectors, venture capitalists invested $6.5 billion in 890 deals in Q3 2012, a decrease of 10 percent in dollars invested and a 12 percent decline in deals, compared to $7.3 billion going into 992 deals in the third quarter of 2011. The Life Sciences share of total venture capital dollars invested rebounded to 26 percent in Q3, a six percent increase from Q2 2012, which was the lowest level since the third quarter of 2002.
Biotechnology investing jumped by 64 percent in dollars and 22 percent in deals compared to the prior quarter, with $1.2 billion going into 116 deals in Q3 2012, which placed it a distant second behind the Software industry in terms of dollars invested during the quarter. On a year-over-year basis, biotechnology investments rose 7 percent in both dollars and the number of deals.
In Q3, Medical Device investments dropped to the lowest dollar level since 2004 and fell to sixth place among all industries for the quarter, a big drop from being the second largest industry category in the prior quarter. With $434 million going into 65 deals in Q3, investments into the Medical Device industry dropped 37 percent in dollars and 27 percent in deals from Q2 2012. On a year-over-year basis, dollars invested fell 42 percent in dollars and 27 percent in deals.
"The gains in biotechnology funding can be attributed to some big follow-on rounds. It's unclear whether the biotechnology industry can maintain these gains through the end of the year," Lefteroff said. "Despite regulatory uncertainty and a long path to exit, venture capitalists are still willing to invest in the life sciences sector, but they are cautiously looking for innovative products targeting unmet needs."
First-Time Financing
During the third quarter of 2012, 32 Life Sciences companies received venture capital funding for the first time, capturing $170 million. This represents a decrease of 30 percent in dollars invested and no change in the number of deals compared to the third quarter of 2011. First-time deals in the Life Sciences sector averaged $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared with an average deal size of $7.5 million in the third quarter of 2011.
Funding by Sub-segment
Three of the seven Biotechnology sub-segments exhibited growth in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011. The Industrial Biotech subsegment rose 196 percent to $250 million, the Animal Biotech subsegment rose 66 percent to $42 million, and the Biotech Equipment subsegment rose 62 percent to $47 million. Funding for all other subsegments decreased during the third quarter. The Human Biotechnology subsegment captured the largest share in the third quarter with $816 million going into 77 deals but declined slightly year-over-year in both dollars and deals.
Within the Medical Device industry, only the Medical/health Products subsegment saw an increase in Q3 2012 from Q3 2011, increasing only 4 percent in dollars to $78 million. The Medical Diagnostics and Medical Therapeutics subsegments both experienced declines during the same time period, however, the Medical Therapeutics category still accounted for 72 percent of the dollars and 50 percent of deals in the third quarter with $311 million going into 33 deals.
Investments by Region
The top five metropolitan regions receiving Life Sciences venture capital funding during Q3 2012 were San Francisco Bay ($366 million), Boston ($344 million), San Diego Metro ($183 million), Chicago ($106 million) and Philadelphia ($99 million). Four of the five regions saw increases in investing in Q3 when compared to Q3 2011. San Francisco Bay was the only region of the five that experienced a decrease in this timeframe, dropping 44 percent in dollars invested.
Investments in Biotechnology accounted for 83 percent of the dollars invested in the top five regions in Q3 2012. The top five regions captured 66 percent of the dollars invested in Life Sciences companies in the third quarter of 2012.
