In 1993, 13 graduate students in Berlin concluded that the rapid rise of digital audio products would open up a market for sophisticated routers capable of moving data between points. They formed a company, STAGETEC, and quickly introduced the prototype of their initial product, the NEXUS audio router. The immediate success of the NEXUS led these folks to develop the CANTUS, a small-footprint digital mixing console built with complex routing that was easy to use.
STAGETEC celebrates its 20th anniversary as an established player in the professional digital audio community.
"Today, we serve markets on every continent and in all areas where pro-audio technology is used. This global activity has stimulated our growth continuously," says Dr. Klaus-Peter Scholz.

I've got a $50 Best Buy certificate burning a hole in my pocket. I was thinking of blowing it on a new game. However, I want to make sure I get a good one. What's the best site for ranking games... more specifically PS2 games?

I trust both Gamespot and ps2.ign.com. But you may want to give www.gamerankings.com a look. They post the ratings from multiple sources so you'll see any trends and abnormal high/lows.

Thanks! Those are great. Just what I was looking for: a site that'll let you sort by user ranking and genre.

I prefer Gamerankings.com to gauge the general buzz. I don't trust any one review site in particular. Usually friends with similar tastes or renting is the best review.

Gamerankings is great for getting the general buzz about something, but I usually trust gamespot to give the most honest review of a game. I find that IGN tends to score a little higher on average, and not be near as critical of a game. If I want to know how something is, I'll usually check out gamespot's review, and then see how it stacks up on gamerankings.

I'll usually check out Gamespot. And of course here.

I do take that into consideration. If I see something has "" but only has one review... I'm usually a little skeptical. But, most of the "hot" games will have multiple reviews.

I used to read PC Gamer, but the last iss I bought was about 2-3 years ago. Then I started using IGN and gamespot, but if you look at IGN and gamespot and compare reviews, some are a bit off. IGN gave MVP a high rating, but I'm not feeling it. It doesn't feel like a high rated game.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
28 Jul 2010 00:56 GMT
The bombs sited about 3km apart detonated as crowds of pilgrims passed by.
Security officials said they suspected Sunni insurgents were behind the attacks, although no group has claimed responsibility.
While violence has dropped dramatically in the past years in Iraq, suspected Sunni insurgents regularly target Shia religious ceremonies and holy places in an attempt to re-ignite sectarian tensions that brought Iraq to the brink of civil war in 2005 and 2007.
Hundreds of thousands of Shia pilgrims are expected to descend on Karbala and the nearby holy city of Najaf for commemoration ceremonies on Wednesday marking al-Mahdi's birth.
Devotees believe the Hidden Imam will return someday to usher in peace and harmony in the world.

As far as we know, the whole story of this far-out publishing venture has yet to be told. That's why we're pleased as punch to hear that founding co-editor and all-around good guy R.U. Sirius is kickstarting a project called Mondo 2000: An Open Source History. The idea's pretty novel: everyone who was involved with the magazine is invited to collaborate on both a book and a website (including audio and video) that will trace the history of the magazine. And who knows? If things go well enough, some of the footage may be rolled into a documentary.
So, what are you waiting for? Hit up the source link to get involved. While you're there, check out that podcast describing the project in detail. After that, remember to download Billy Idol's Cyberpunk album -- it's still as timeless and relevant as ever.

Kinda like this one here.
thanks in advance
Damn..just came across this. The guy on the far right is the killer, he left Harlem after the Police let him go and nobody ever heard from him again. Or so they say.
Yup, I knew about this, name's Gerard Woodley
Kinda fucked, they may have been friends or something
I heard they were childhood friends…all because people had beef with L's brother, who was upstate..so he catches 9 shots to head. It's not right
Yeah. No one actually wanted to murk Big L himself, but apparently in the Gangsta World, if you can't reach the specific target you go for their family members. I don't understand how anyone could kill their friend though, dark shit.
The killer looks like a fag too. Kinda looks like a skinny Carlton from Fresh Prince. Fuck him
So….the police know who killed him, they just can't find him? Is that right?
Big L looking flamboyant as fuck in this photo tho…
How does Big L look at all flamboyant? and why are you looking for those kind of tendencies in people?
Lozo, the guy was taken under custody but then released because of a lack of evidence. It's one of those things where everybody knows what happened, but the police don't really care about a rapper getting murdered. The killer just left town, I'm sure to protect himself.
why they have to take him away
I've heard that it was accidental. They thought it was Big L's brother and they shot him, not knowing it was Big L himself.
His brother got shot 3 years later
If there's any justice in the world hopefully someone left that guy in a ditch
Flamboyant Entertainment, his clique alongside D.I.T.C, he loved that word, almost hear it in every Big L song. It was his own word for 'cool'.
@Smooth24 he didn't catch 9 shots to the head btw. He was shot on someones doorsteps (I forgot whose, maybe his own) but he was shot in his chest, and during his last moments apparently he was gripping the gate hard and crying. People were crowding around but cats were doing jackshit.
Big L…what a hip hop legend

Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.
I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can't be helped.
I am only a public entertainer who understands his time.
I am my own hero
I Am, A SON, A BROTHER, A GRAND-BROTHER, A COUSIN, A FRIEND, A STUDENT, A YOUNG BOY, AND A GROWN MAN. I AM CONFIDENT AND UNSURE, TERRIFIED AND EXCITED. I AM LOVING, AND CARING, AND THOUGHTFUL AND HOPEFUL. I AM SICK AND TIRE. I AM SHY AND FRIENDLY, AND CAREFUL AND CARELESS. I AM BROKEN I AM WHOLE, I AM MISUNDERSTOOD, MISGUIDED, AND MISLED. I AM HARD WORKING AND DETERMINED, BUT A LITTLE SCARED ON THE INSIDE. I WISH ON STARS AND DREAM MY DREAMS.I NEVER PRAY TO GOD AND CRY MY TEARS. I LISTEN TO OTHERS WHO WONT'T LISTEN TO ME. I BELIEVE IN PASSION, AND EVEN TRUE LOVE. I WANT YOU BUT NOT SO CLOSE. I AM EVERYTHING AND NOTHING ALL AT ONCE. ALL I WANT IS FOR YOU G+'S TO LOVE ME.
I am one of the people who love the why of things.

Trading Rock and Roll for the Pop Life, These Guys Show a Softer Side When They're Offstage on Daddy Duty
Life as a globe-trotting rocker helped the Foo Fighters lead singer prepare for the challenges of fatherhood. "I've been jet-lagged for 20 years, so sleep doesn't make any difference to me," says Grohl, 40, who welcomed daughter Violet into the world in April 2006. He and wife Jordyn, 32, are expecting another baby this spring.
The Good Charlotte singer, 30 (whose girlfriend Nicole Richie, 27, is expecting baby No. 2), thinks quality time with Harlow, 14 months, will pay off: "I have a feeling that when she starts talking, she's going to be a daddy's girl."
When the former Bush frontman heads off on tour in April, he's taking a special guest: son Kingston, 2. "It's going to be fun!" Rossdale, 43 (also dad to Zuma, 7 months, with wife Gwen Stefani, 39), tells PEOPLE. "Just get him bunks so he won't fall out—that's the main thing."
Despite his reputation as the ultimate rock star, Jagger, 65, considers his family—seven kids, ages 9 to 38—a priority. "I see my children very often," the Rolling Stones lead singer has said, "as often as I possibly can, and their education is very important."
The guitar legend, 43, has said that settling down with wife Perla, 36, and sons London, 6 (a sports nut), and Cash, 4 (who's learning to play guitar), meant "getting rid of all the real hardcore stuff that I used to live on."

Bill Wilkerson Wilkerson Consulting 3728 Kinsale Lane SE Olympia, WA 98501 December 17, 2008 TO: All Members, Higher Education Coordinating Board Ann Daley, Executive Director SUBJECT: Site options for a new four-year higher education campus in Snohomish County I was retained in early September by the Higher Education Coordinating Board (HECB) to carry out an assignment given it by the Legislature related to a four-year higher education institution for the Skagit, Island, and Snohomish County (SIS) area. The 2008 Supplemental budget directed the HECB: to convene interested parties from Snohomish, Island, and Skagit counties to consider the November 2007 site options and recommendations for a new campus of the University of Washington in Snohomish county. The three local communities shall develop a consensus recommendation on a single preferred site and present the recommendation to the higher education coordinating board. The higher education coordinating board shall then present the single preferred site recommendation to the appropriate legislative fiscal and policy committees by December 1, 2008. Sec. 612(12), Ch. 329, Laws of 2008, PV After considerable dialogue with community leaders and elected officials in the SIS area, as well as other people greatly interested in such an expansion of higher education opportunities in this tri-county area, I have the following to report: First, discussions with leaders in the two primary areas of consideration, Everett and Marysville, have not resulted in a consensus at this time as to "a single preferred site." Second, support for a new four-year institution in one of the two cities, and in all of the SIS area, is overwhelming. Everyone I talked to believes a four-year higher education opportunity for students in the area is essential to the region's future. Third, Everett and Marysville have generated tremendous enthusiasm and support in their communities for their respective proposed project(s). Both communities strongly believe they are best suited to house a new four-year institution. UW North – Consultant's Final Report Page 2 Fourth, tremendous resources have been committed by both communities and the state to identify and develop information, siting opportunities, and strategies to locate a four-year institution in one of these communities. As a facilitator, I have come to the conclusion that the HECB was given the wrong assignment. Despite all the work already done on site alternatives, I believe the first decision that needs to be made is not which is the best site. The consensus opinion of community leaders, which I share, is that the Legislature should first authorize a new higher education institution in Snohomish County to provide additional educational opportunities in the region. The exact location would be determined after that decision has been made. Second, I am not personally alarmed at the healthy competition that exists between the two communities. It took me one meeting with each community to determine that site competition by the two is only a plus for the state. However, if all that the Legislature and Governor see is the site dispute, it will be tough to proceed. Hopefully, wide ranging support for an authorizing bill will show a unified community in the SIS area. Third, everyone wants to know at some point how the siting decision will be made and by whom. Most feel that the sponsoring institution and the Governor must weigh in on any authorizing legislation and ultimate siting decision in a much more aggressive manner than has occurred to date. However, virtually everyone I talked to felt that a bill authorizing a Snohomish County site would be marginalized or made more difficult by defining that process in the bill. Fourth, no one supports further study of the issue, but most understand that final site decisions will require more specific information (e.g. land prices, transportation investments, higher education needs, environmental issues, etc.) as to each preferred site. Finally, once a bill is passed, the key leaders in both communities need to commit to each other that they will support a fair process, and continue to unite behind the four-year institution until it is built and fully operating. Most in the communities have said that will occur. I want to thank the HECB for the opportunity to work on this project. I particularly want to thank the many people who gave me their time and good thoughts. The project would be a tremendous asset for the SIS tri-county area and its future students. I wish you all the best in making early progress in the Legislature this session. If you and others work together, I am confident of your success. Again my thanks and sincere best wishes to all of you. Bill Wilkerson NOT OFFICIAL UNTIL APPROVED BY THE BOARD RESOLUTION NO. 08-41 WHEREAS, The Washington State Legislature included a proviso in the 2008 supplemental operating budget (ESHB 2687, Sec. 612.12) directing the Higher Education Coordinating Board to convene interested parties from Snohomish, Island, and Skagit Counties to consider the November 2007 site options and recommendations for a new campus of the University of Washington in Snohomish County; and WHEREAS, The aforementioned proviso also directed that the three local communities develop a consensus recommendation on a single preferred site and present the recommendation to the Higher Education Coordinating Board, and that the Higher Education Coordinating Board would then present the single preferred site recommendation to the appropriate legislative fiscal and policy committees by December 1, 2008; and WHEREAS, The Higher Education Coordinating Board did retain the professional mediation and negotiation services of Mr. Bill Wilkerson to facilitate discussion and agreement between the interested parties from Snohomish, Island, and Skagit Counties to develop a consensus recommendation on a single preferred site for a new campus of the University of Washington in Snohomish County; and WHEREAS, Mr. Wilkerson has met and conferred with state, county, and city elected officials in the three counties, business and community organization leaders, major employers, and the community college and higher education institutions serving the region for the purpose of developing the consensus recommendation for a new campus; and WHEREAS, In December 2008, Mr. Wilkerson provided the Higher Education Coordination Board with his final report, which concludes that a consensus agreement has not been reached by the interested parties; and WHEREAS, The Higher Education Coordinating Board has reviewed the aforementioned report; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Higher Education Coordinating Board hereby authorizes and directs its Executive Director to transmit the aforementioned report to the Governor and Legislature.

Monetary Policy
Monetary policy is the mechanism through which the supply of money is controlled by monetary authorities. The goal of almost every monetary authority around the world is stability of prices. If prices are unstable—either too high or, in some circumstances, decreasing—this causes unforeseen and unwanted consequences for the economy as a whole. Monetary authorities usually enact changes to interest rates for the purpose of changing the demand for money. Monetary policy can be either expanding, when interest rates are lowered and more money is available at a cheaper, or contracting, when interest rates are raised to make money more expensive to slow price increases.

Search for two who rescued deputy from burning cruiser
TUCSON, Ariz. — The Pima County Sheriff's Department is asking the public for help in identifying two of the rescuers who helped pull a deputy from his burning patrol car last week.
The department is seeking to formally thank everyone who played a role in the dramatic rescue of Deputy Hector J. Palomino, who was headed to a reported traffic accident Wednesday afternoon when his car collided with a pickup truck at West Ajo Way and South La Cholla Boulevard.
Palomino's patrol car was upended by a boulder as it left the road, and the vehicle caught fire while the deputy was trapped inside. The Sheriff's Department has identified 10 of the 12 people who were on scene helping with the rescue.
"Everybody had a role, between people pulling the door open, people trying to put the fire out and people pulling the deputy out," Woolridge said.
The rescuers are Paul Madewell, Felipe Sandoval, Doug McFarland, Ron Ballou, Adam Welch, Micah Boivin, Raul Rojas, Eyleen Sykora, Gilbert Fimbres, Benjamin Melendez and the two unidentified men.
Anybody who can help identify the final two men is asked to call Woolridge at 351-6204.
The Board of Supervisors will thank the rescuers at its March 4 meeting, and the Sheriff's Department will recognize them during its annual awards dinner in December.
Palomino was released from a hospital that night and is at home recovering from fractured bones, Woolridge said. He released a statement the following day thanking his rescuers.

Coursing through vast reaches of Alaskan tundra, glacial lakes and emerald forests, six major river systems converge along the rim of the Bering Sea to form the crystalline waters of Bristol Bay, the richest wild salmon grounds in the world.
Yet if three global mining giants get their way, this region — one of the last truly wild places in our country — could be destroyed.
Each year, up to 40 million sockeye salmon make the journey from deep ocean waters into Bristol Bay and, from there, upstream to spawn in the inland shallows of their birth. The salmon provide food for brown bears, bald eagles and wolves. And they're the centerpiece of sustenance and culture for native peoples who have lived there for thousands of years.
Here, amid this rich web of life, is where Pebble Limited Partnership (Anglo American, Northern Dynasty Minerals and Rio Tinto) want to dig one of the largest open-pit gold and copper mines in the world.
The Obama administration must put a stop to this exploitative and misguided scheme.

Thank you so much for all the responses to the zondle survey!
We had more than 950 in just 3 days which is amazing and the number keeps growing! We also had a huge number of supportive emails and messages which I will share on this blog over the next week. These messages really do mean a lot and we appreciate each and every one.
There is clearly a desire for zondle to continue and our community seem to understand that the site might need to move to a subscription in order to keep going.
Two things that we noted from the survey
a) There was interest in district, school and multiple teacher pricing which we will work on shortly.
b) Some teachers felt that the $80 per year or $8 per month was a bit expensive.
We will be crunching the numbers next week and hopefully finalize a way to keep zondle going. In the meantime, thanks for all your support.
With best wishes

David Meerman Scott, a well-known marketing strategist, coined the term "newsjacking," which he describes as "the process by which you inject your ideas or angles into breaking news, in real-time, in order to generate media coverage for yourself or your business." The concept makes sense, and we all know that a great way to gain relevance online is by leveraging hot topics and news items that are beginning to trend-but it's a competitive, and fast-moving, field. How do content marketers stay on top of the relevant trends and news in their industries to ensure they're curating and communicating fresh, engaging content?

TORONTO, Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Scotiabank today received recognition as Global Bank of the Year from The Banker magazine, a Financial Times publication. The Bank was also recognized in seven other categories, including Bank of the Year for the Americas. This is the first time a Canadian bank has been recognized in either category.

"We are honoured to be the first Canadian bank to be recognized as Global Bank of the Year," said Rick Waugh, CEO of Scotiabank. "At Scotiabank we pride ourselves on our ability to earn a strong return on capital while staying true to the risk management culture that has been a driving force of our success for more than 180 years.
"Scotiabank has a strong track record of delivering superior results and at the heart of that success is our culture, which is rooted in our values and good business judgement," added Mr. Waugh.
Scotiabank was also recognized by the magazine as Bank of the Year in Canada, Antigua, Barbados, Belize, Turks and Caicos and the British Virgin Islands.
The Banker's Bank of the Year Award is in its 12th year. The magazine is the world's longest running international banking magazine, recognized as a leading source of information on finance and investment around the globe. The magazine is a key source of data and analysis for the banking industry and is read in more than 180 countries.

Motoring: Why the latest Big Idea is not so big
The platform strategy can go wrong when cars designed for one purpose - family hatchbacks for instance - try to get ideas beyond their station in life
Saturday 26 September 1998
"Platform strategies" mean more choice for the customer and cheaper cars for the manufacturer. On the face of it, they are thoroughly good things. But there is also an insidious side to this latest Big Idea from the car industry, especially if you're in the market for a "prestige" car.
A platform strategy enables a mass car maker to offer many different models using very few different sets of mechanical components. A single platform - suspension, engines, gearboxes and many other auxiliary bits - can sire such disparate vehicles as the Ford Ka, Ford Fiesta and Ford Puma.
Same car, different clothes, different character, different market segment. Ford wins and, because we punters get more choice, we win too. In the case of Ford, all three cars are roughly the same size and the same price, so there is minimal compromise in sharing parts.
Where the platform strategy can potentially go wrong is when cars designed for one purpose - a family hatchback, for instance - try to get ideas beyond their station in life. The new Audi TT sports car, one of the most drop-dead gorgeous cars of 1998 and the subject of huge waiting lists in most countries, is - underneath that voluptuous skin - a Volkswagen Golf. Of course this makes it cheaper for Audi to make. Yet others may argue that a premium-brand sports car should not be riding around on the mechanicals of a humble hatchback, never mind that there is a turbocharger installed to add a touch of spice.
There are myriad other examples. The Saab 9-3, which has one of the car world's most desirable badges on its nose and rump, shares the platform of the Vauxhall Vectra, one of Europe's most ordinary cars. It is the 9-3's major weakness. Saab, in the days before General Motors bought it, used to have bespoke mechanicals and were all the better for it. Most Saab owners, of course, have no idea about their cars' humble mechanical ancestry. But, for me, it's a bit like buying a valuable watch only to find that it shares its movement with a pounds 10 Casio. What's unseen is often as important as what's more obvious.
There are very few premium-brand cars that have the hearts of a thoroughbred, contrary to what their manufacturers like to pretend. The Audi A4 is a Volkswagen Passat in drag. It is a fine car, because the Volkswagen group is expert at borrowing and tuning mechanicals. But the Passat, which is cheaper, is also better. Ultimately the A4 is a pointless vehicle, a pretty marketing gimmick aimed at those keen on some badge one-upmanship. Current Rovers are Hondas with chrome grilles and lots of walnut inside. These superficialities cannot compensate for the lack of true mechanical class, no matter how much Rover might pretend otherwise.
One of the keys to BMW's success is that it remains a thoroughbred manufacturer. Its 3-series is not a jumped-up family hatchback, cleverly disguised as a sports saloon. It was designed, from the outset, to be the best possible car of its type. As such, it has rear-wheel drive, because that offers more feedback for the driver, and it offers a straight-six cylinder engine, because that is the optimal configuration for such a car.
Those who use front-wheel drive and four-cylinder motors (virtually all of BMW's rivals in the sports saloon sector) do so because they are following platform strategies. In other words, they are saving money by pooling parts.
This can, of course, also save you - the punter - money. And it's the reason why "prestige" Audis, Saabs, Alfas, Rovers and some Volvos are cheaper. But it's also the main reason why, generally, they are not as good.

Five power conferences teams that could really use a conference tourney run
Mar 11, 2014, 5:37 PM EDT
As we get closer to power conference tournaments tipping off, there are always a handful of teams that could use a couple of wins to gain entry into the field of 68. Here's a look at five teams — actually six, we cheated — that could really use a few wins in their respective conference tournaments to bolster their NCAA Tournament hopes.
California [19-12 (10-8), RPI: 52, KenPom: 70] – The Golden Bears looked like they were in great shape after a February 1st win over then-No. 1 Arizona, but Cal has stumbled to a 4-5 finish and its only win over a NCAA Tournament-caliber opponent came in their finale against Colorado in overtime. Cal has a first-round bye in the Pac-12 Tournament and they'll likely face Colorado again in the Pac-12 quarterfinals. The Golden Bears should beat the Buffaloes again to feel better about their chances, but another win over No. 1 seed Arizona in the semifinals would make Cal like its chances to make the field of 68.
RELATED: Odds to win every major conference tournament
Florida State [18-12 (9-9), RPI: 58, KenPom: 39] The Seminoles don't have a particularly strong resume or record, and they could really use a few wins in the ACC Tournament. As a No. 9 seed in the tournament, the Seminoles have to beat Maryland in a dangerous opening game before a matchup with No. 1 seed Virginia. If Florida State can win against the Cavaliers, they'd have to like its chances of getting in.
Georgetown [17-13 (8-10), RPI: 55, KenPom: 50] – The Hoyas could use a Big East Tournament run in the worst way after struggling to 17-13 regular season record. A win over DePaul in the first round is pretty much a given, but the Hoyas will likely need to knock off Creighton in the second round to feel better about their Tournament chances. Georgetown clearly outplayed Creighton on March 4th in a home win and their size and athleticism gave Doug McDermott fits. Would another win over Creighton in March get the Hoyas in?

Minnesota [19-12 (8-10), RPI: 49, KenPom: 52] – Since starting 13-3 on the season, the Golden Gophers are 6-9, as they've struggled through the mighty Big Ten. Minnesota has only one win over a ranked opponent since its January 22nd home win over Wisconsin and that came over a reeling Iowa team at home. The Golden Gophers open the Big Ten Tournament with a winnable game against Penn State and then would face No. 2 seed Wisconsin in a game that Minnesota should win if they want to get in.
Providence [20-11 (10-8), RPI: 54, KenPom: 53] and St. John's [20-11 (10-8), RPI: 57, KenPom: 37] – Okay, we cheated and profiled six teams instead of five but these two teams match up in the first round of the Big East Tournament on Thursday in what could amount to a play-in game for the field of 68. Providence couldn't close the deal with a road win at Creighton in its final regular season game while St. John's has played much better after an 0-5 start in the Big East, but they still could use some more quality wins. These teams split in the regular season and a win in the rubber match could vault a team into the field while a loss would surely eliminate them. To feel even safer, these teams should also try to knock off Villanova in the second round.

BOLD PREDICTIONS Texas tech beats Wvu for big 12 championship sending 9 out of the 10 Twelve teams to dance. My eers didn't make this list, I understand no out of conference wins, the loss to va. tech in November. other close out of conference losses to Missouri, Wisconsin, Gonzaga. I get that. But this article was a what if article. So what if my eers win the next two against Texas and Oklahoma. that's 7 wins against top 50. That's a 19-15 record it's happened before. Texas got in years ago with a 17-14 record when the field was 64.

The only small dogs I can stand, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi
pembroke welsh corgi- this is one of the cutest dogs ive ever seen
Hadley Here...We dogs actually like to wallow around in grass and other obscene stuff. Bath time is really a downer because we're by nature, dirty animals. All we ask is that you be careful around our eyes when you're lathering the shampoo. Our eyes sting to high heaven. Bark Happy! Love, Hadley Jane.

Just died. #polarbear #kids
This little kid is making new friends at the zoo. " Say Hi to my new polar bear friend mum "
big bear, little kid in costume bear
Next time I go to the zoo I will be dressing up as an animal! Possibly a polar bear!
Both sad and cute. I fear that the only polar bears we'll see in the next century are ones either in aquariums/zoos like this, or kids in cuddly costumes. Regardless, it is heartbreaking and adorable.
