No one has a voice quite like Dylan's.
Bob is not authentic at all. He's a plagiarist, and his name and voice are fake. Everything about Bob is a deception. We are like night and day, he and I.
Joni Mitchell
Joni, Joni, Joni. If you are going to bash Bob Dylan at least use a heavy hammer, one with some weight in it. And swing from the shoulders and rotate through the curve. Have a follow through if you're trying to knock his block off.
But this? Joni, it's akin to the behaviour of a petulant child who breezes through a schoolyard, says her bit between bitter lips to one but so that all may hear, and then departs just as breezily.
Mitchell made her comments recently during a phone hook-up interview with The Los Angeles Times and singer/actor John Kelly, who has been performing as Mitchell in the tribute concert Paved Paradise: the Art of Joni Mitchell.
This is the relevant excerpt from the interview published by the newspaper:
Los Angeles Times: ''. . . You've had experience becoming a character outside yourself (Mitchell caused controversy when she appeared as an African-American male on the cover of her 1977 album Don Juan's Reckless Daughter.) The folk scene you came out of had fun creating persons. You were born Robert Joan Anderson, and someone named Bobby Zimmerman became Bob Dylan.''
JM: ''Bob is not authentic at all. He's a plagiarist, and his name and and voice are fake. Everything about Bob is a deception. We are like night and day, he and I.
''As for name, my parents wanted a boy, so they called me Robert John, when I came out a girl, they just added two letter As to that. Then I married Chuck Mitchell; I wanted to keep my maiden name — I had a bit of a following as Joni Anderson — but he wouldn't let me.''
And that's it.
Is it a raw nerve that's been touched here? Do the words Bob Dylan stimulate this type of response everytime in Mitchell? Is there a secret history the greater world does not know about between these two? It's not like they haven't performed together: they did a West Coast tour in 1998 (with Van Morrison). A couple of years later, Mitchell announced her retirement in a vituperative, arsenic-dripping, parting shot to the music business. The word ''cesspool'' was mentioned.
In the past 10 years she has remixed her back catalogue for two gorgeous orchestral-backed albums and, in 2007, released Shine, her first album of original work since 1998's Taming the Tiger.
Dylan, on the other hand, has just kept rolling. His triplet of Love and Theft (2001), Modern Times (2006), and Together Through Life (2009) shows him at one of the peaks of his career, actually the peak is more an elevated ridgeline, given that he brought out Time Out of Mind in 1997. Even without the recordings, Dylan has shown through his constant touring that retirement is the last thing on his mind. (Let's pretend that last year's Christmas album was really made by a doppelganger from Mars.)
Neither artist does many interviews these days — although Dylan opened up to writer Bill Flanagan on his website for the release of Together Through Life — and when Mitchell has, it is usually to bemoan virtually everything.
It's worth quoting Mitchell again from the Los Angeles Times interview: ''My first four albums covered the usual youth problems — looking for love in all the wrong places — while the next five are basically about being in your 30s. Things start losing their profundity; in middle-late age, you enter a tragedian period, realising that the human animal isn't changing for the better. In a way, I think I entered straight into my tragedian period, as my work is set against the stupid, destructive way we live on this planet. Americans have decided to be stupid and shallow since 1980. Madonna is like Nero; she marks the turning point.''
It's hard to argue against the point of humans' destruction of their environment. Pinning Americans' stupidity to 1980, however, is more problematic; though they did elect Ronald Reagan president in that year. Madonna burst on the scene a couple of years later, around the time Mitchell released Dog Eat Dog, which contained one of the truly insightful songs about famine and the Western world called Ethiopia.
Alas, her insight these days closer to home has abandoned her. To the first two sentences: Bob is not authentic at all. He's a plagiarist, and his name and voice are fake.
These are all profoundly misguided assertions. Not authentic? What exactly does that mean? His name and voice are fake? He changed his name from Robert Zimmerman to Bob Dylan. Dylan is as real a name as Zimmerman. There's no fakery involved. And if it's not his voice then whose is it? What an extraordinary feat of endurance to have maintained this charlatan voice for half a century.
Despite whatever else people may say about Dylan, all would be one in this: no one has a voice like Dylan's. You couldn't fake it if you tried, well not for long. Many have tried over the years — Loudon Wainwright III, for instance, and Adrian Belew on the Frank Zappa album Sheik Yerbouti who nailed both the Dylan voice and harmonica in the parody Flakes.
The most serious accusation against an artist is plagiarism. Dylan would be the first to admit he's been borrowing from the folk and blues tradition since he began. Indeed, Blowin' in the Wind is based on an old spiritual No More Auction Block. It's been the way of the tradition: you find the roots, dig them up and plant them in new soil.
The plagiarism claims against Dylan have been more vocal in recent years, particularly with Love and Theft and Modern Times.
They show if nothing else the cavernous accommodation wherein resides Dylan's acquisitive nature. Critics accuse him of lifting words from a Japanese gangster novel Confessions of a Yakuza by Junichi Saga for Love and Theft, especially the song Floater.
On Modern Times, the theft is said to have occurred from American Civil War writer Henry Timrod. It first surfaced in The New York Times in 2006, and set internet forums and newspaper columns alight as fans, critics, professors of music and literature and fellow musicians manned the barricades for and against Dylan.
It prompted singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega to write in the Times: ''Being influenced by a text and reworking it is not the same as directly quoting, which is what he has done here. Still, Bob Dylan doesn't have to steal from anybody. Go into any club that still has hoot night, and you will hear someone at the mike stealing from Bob Dylan. His singing and writing style is one of the most influential and recognisable of the last century. And the phrases that he lifted were only details in the scope of this new album.
''Did he do this on purpose? I doubt it. Maybe he has a photographic memory, and bits of text stick to it . . . I am trying to imagine a Bob Dylan album with footnotes, asterisks, ibid.'s and nifty little anecdotes about the origins of each song. It's not going to happen. He's never pretended to be an academic, or even a nice guy. He is more likely to present himself as, well, a thief. Renegade, outlaw, artist. That's why we are passionate about him.''
Mitchell's comment that ''everything about Bob is a deception'' is enigmatic. Everything, Joni? His songs, his performances, his personal life. Everything? How can one so far removed know one so intimately? Perhaps Mitchell could argue that one can see more clearly, more objectively, from a distance.
I don't know, of course, but perhaps Dylan might take it as a compliment. As he might of Mitchell's final observation that ''we are like night and day, he and I''. In this, she is right. Two giants of popular music are as different as night and day. Mitchell's music has a level of harmonic and structural complexity to which Dylan's could never aspire. But it was Dylan who rended the rock heavens asunder. It was he who changed everything.
Dylan doesn't need to reply to Mitchell and, if he did, I'd walk to New Zealand. His reply can be found in the only place that stays true for, and to, an artist. Their creations. Joni, if you're looking to label me, stop: ''I'm not there, I'm gone.''
Really, it's deceptively simple.

Great read!
posted 7 years ago
I love this book! It is a must have/read for anybody involved with animal rescue or for someone who has the desire to get involved with saving unwanted animals. This book does a great job of bringing shelter dogs to light and helps educate those that read the book about what it is like to try to save these wonderful animals. It's a great gift idea too!
Pros: inspirational, motivational
Cons: none

The authors did a great job on this book. They feature a shelter animal and tell its story. Some happy endings, and some not so happy.
More of a day in the life and portrays the truth of what is happening with pet overpopulation and the shelter environment.
Actually, the shelter they visited was a rather good one--if they would have come to my area or other states, there would have been a lot fewer happy endings.
Pros: Focuses on individuals
Cons: Sad--but isn't it supposed to be?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Democrats have commandeered the Fleet Center, and that had a whole nation ticking off the seconds Monday waiting for Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton to stride onto Paul Pierce's floor to rave about John Kerry.
Not me, though.
I was in a college gym in North Florida waiting for one of my favorite American patriots to finish his first pre-Olympic practice, unlace his high-tops with the stars-and-stripes flags on the tongues and uncork his second annual State of The Answer summertime address.
That's right.
Allen Iverson met the Team USA media Monday afternoon.
It is completely understandable if you prefer to focus on what the folks in Boston are doing, since one of them might end up running the country someday. Just as it's understandable that folks who are ready to contemplate the Yanks' hoop prospects in Athens are inevitably fixated on all the starry names who no longer appear on the roster.
Fine. Your call.
After filing several months' worth of articles about the interminable string of big-name withdrawals, I was ready to hear from the only two Yanks -- Iverson and Tim Duncan -- who are living up to the two-year promise they gave USA Basketball. I wanted nationalistic passion without the politics, so I was drawn to the little guy who's eternally grateful that the chieftains in his sport have accepted Iverson the way he is. Without forcing him to "cut my hair off and laser my tattoos off and wear a suit," as AI told us in last summer's address.
Herewith, then, are The Answer's answers after Day 1 of his second Olympic training camp under old pal Larry Brown. Good stuff again from the little guy, who, incidentally, was unanimously voted a co-captain with Duncan by his teammates.
On sharing the distinction with Duncan as the only holdovers from USA Basketball's original list of nine "core" players, and why they're ignoring security fears in Greece:
"It shows me that Tim cares, and he believes that he's going to be all right, and that it means something to him. And that's the same with me. This thing means something to me."
Whether he ever came close to joining the long list of pullouts:
"Never. I knew that if I got well [recovering from a knee injury that ended his season prematurely] I was gonna play. ... The whole thing why I'm not disappointed in those [other] guys not going is because that's their decision. I guess they're thinking about their life, their family, the people that care about them, and most importantly themselves. You can't question that. But I just believe so much in God. I feel like God's protected me all my life, through ups and downs, and this is just another obstacle in my life that He'll help me through."
What it was like watching Brown, after all their years together in Philly, win the championship in Detroit:
"I was happy for him. I think I called him too late to congratulate him, because he was knocked out when I called him. He just said we [were] going to win an Olympic medal [together], and we got off the phone. But, man, I was happy. Coach is a Hall of Fame coach. Coach [has] been coaching for so many years, and for him not to have a championship . . . even if he didn't win it with me, he won it. He accomplished something that he and I couldn't. I was just happy for him. I was happy for guys on that [Detroit] team. You think I'm going to be in the East rooting for the West?"
More on Larry, after it was made clear to AI that the question wasn't suggesting he had rooted against Brown -- merely that it might have been tough for him to watch the Pistons prevail because Iverson wanted to be the one leading Brown to his first NBA title:
"You're right about that. You're right about that. And then once they won it, I was happy . . . but I couldn't watch [the celebration]. I couldn't watch all the champagne pouring and all that because I wanted -- and not for selfish reasons -- but I wanted to pour champagne on him and I wanted him to pour it on me. I'd be lying to y'all if I sat here and [denied] that. But I honestly, genuinely was happy for him, because I [saw] him accomplish something that he and I tried to accomplish together and couldn't get it done. And we went through hell basically trying to accomplish that. And then, for him to finally get it just made me feel good."
On his own championship prospects at age 29, after eight seasons in the league and with the rebuilding Sixers:
"I definitely feel like it's coming. And I don't want a championship where I'm 35, 40 years old, take a pay cut and go play for the team that everybody in the media is saying is gonna win it. I don't want it that way. I don't want that championship. I want the championship where I'm the leader on the team. I don't have to be the facial figure of the team. I honestly want to play with another All-Star or that type of player, but ... I want it in Philadelphia, simple as that. All the stuff that I've been through, that place turned me from a young man to a grown man, and I'm not talking about all the good things."
What it would mean to win a gold medal, compared to an NBA championship:
"I don't know how big it is, because I haven't gotten the feeling yet. I have an idea of how I'll feel to win a gold medal, but I honestly don't know. Just being an Olympian, I'm beside myself. But getting a [gold medal], all I know it's going to be something I never forget, something I cherish for the rest of my life."

A car bomb exploded on Thursday in a regime-held suburb of Homs city, in the centre of war-torn Syria, killing a number of people and wounding others, state news agency SANA said.
"Terrorists detonated a car bomb... in the Akrama Jadideh neighbourhood... and preliminary information indicates that there are dead and wounded," the agency reported.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed the explosion and said it occurred near a public swimming pool in the Akrama neighbourhood, which is under government control.
Parts of Syria, notably the capital, have been plagued by deadly bombings over the past 12 months of a two-year-old uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
The bloodiest came on February 21 when a suicide car bomb was detonated near the headquarters of the ruling Baath party in central Damascus, killing more than 60 people, mostly civilians, according to the Observatory.
The hardline jihadist Al-Nusra Front has claimed responsibility for the majority of such attacks.

Pretty good breakfast for this price.
Carpet was wet by the sink when we entered the room. Room was smoky smelling. And it took quite a bit of searching to find someone to check us out when departing. Finally found someone, in the laundry room on the phone, who did so. This person said the manager was not on site at the time.
I called the front desk to let them know I would be checking late. They were very helpful and told me they would have my paperwork ready so I could get right to my room.
The shower curtain smelled moldy, however the st of the room was very clean. There was little to no good at beeakfast at 9am. Had to buy breakfast on our own.

Nuclear Security
Time to Expand the G-8 Global Partnership
Combating the spread of weapons of mass destruction can only occur in an inclusive multilateral framework
The G-8 Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction is a vital international security and nonproliferation tool for coordinating chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threat reduction activities on a global scale. With 23 countries signed on to the agreement, it helps prevent proliferators, terrorists, or other nonstate actors from acquiring such weapons.
The latest issue of Courier features "Climate Change – After Paris, What Next?" a look at the COP21 Paris agreement and what it means for the future of our planet's environment. The second article is about the science and numbers of climate risk, and the need to reduce emissions and by how much. This issue also highlights a trip to South America taken by the teacher who most recently won the Catherine Miller Explorer Award, and finally we highlight a new tool for leaders and policymakers for implementing the third pillar of the Responsibility to Protect.

Crystal Symphony
Cruise Ship
With her sleek silhouette and shimmering elegance, the legendary Crystal Symphony finds a natural home in the world's most glamorous harbors and idyllic ports of call. Generous per-passenger space ratios have become a Crystal trademark, along with forward-facing observation decks, a Palm Court lounge, and a wide teak promenade encircling the ship. A makeover in 2006 refreshed the Bistro Caf� and shops, reconstructed the casino and Starlite Lounge, and added a new nightclub called Luxe. An even more extensive refurbishment in 2009 transformed the Crystal Penthouses, Lido Caf�, and Prego Italian restaurant. Accented by a lovely waterfall, the focal point of the central two-deck atrium is a sculpture of two ballet dancers created especially for the space. Crystal Cove, the lobby lounge, is the spot to meet for cocktails as you make your way to the nearby dining room. Throughout the ship, public rooms shine with low-key contemporary style and flow easily from one to the next.

Yantai, China
(Thursday, April 2)
Breakfast on board the ship.
INDEPENDENT EXPLORATION: If you care to do some wine tasting, you are in luck. Because happily, and somewhat surprisingly, Yantai is known for red wine. Zhangyu Red Wine has been produced in the region for more than one hundred years and has long been earning accolades for its quality. For wine enthusiasts, a visit to the Changyu Wine Museum, located in the former home of the Changyu Wine Company, is a must, as it offers the chance to hear about the area�s traditions in winemaking and taste a few vintages. Other temptations for the palate come from the sea; Yantai is famous for abalone, scallops, crabs and prawns. Treats for the eye are just as readily enjoyed, with picturesque scenes of rivers, hills and beaches unfolding in and around the city. Especially inspiring views can be savored from the peak of nearby Yantaishan Mountain, an officially designated scenic area.
Lunch at leisure on board the ship. Some Crystal shore excursions may include lunch.

Day 8:
Shanghai, China
(Saturday, April 4)
Breakfast on board.
INDEPENDENT EXPLORATION: Choose from a variety of Crystal's shore excursion and explore Shanghai on your own. Shanghai, located just inside the mouth of the great Yangtze River, marks the point where Asia's longest and most important river completes its 3,400-mile journey to the Pacific. The city's unique location is the source of its existence and has determined what it is today. Until 1842, Shanghai was merely a tiny fishing village. Following the first Opium War, Shanghai became a treaty port, which opened the city to foreign influence and resulted in the development of numerous British, French and American colonial settlements within the city and along the Yangtze River.
Lunch at leisure on board the ship in the Crystal Dining Room, the Lido Caf�, or the Trident Grill.

Day 12:
Xiamen, China
(Wednesday, April 8)
Breakfast on board the ship.
INDEPENDENT EXPLORATION: Looking out over the Taiwan Strait, Xiamen has long been an active port city, used as a base to defend against pirates during the Ming Dynasty and a hub for tea exportation in the 19th century. Today, Xiamen is the gateway to the culture and scenery of south China, with ancient temples, excellent universities and inviting beaches. A short ferry cruise from Xiamen sits the island of Gulangyu, a favorite retreat for the locals. Should you visit the island, you will likely investigate its sights via electromobile, as there are no gas-powered vehicles on the island. This, along with beautiful vistas and interesting architecture, lends Gulangyu its unique appeal.

Hong Kong, China
(Thursday, April 9)
Breakfast on board the ship.
INDEPENDENT EXPLORATION: Although Hong Kong has returned to its original Chinese roots, it still remains a cosmopolitan city with influences, languages and accents from around the world. Here East meets West and the result is electric. Soaring skyscrapers rise from the hills and harbor, blending geography and nature with commercial concrete, steel and pulsating neon in a way that brings traditional Chinese culture and Western-style commerce into perfect harmony. The bustling city streets are lined with teeming markets and sophisticated boutiques tucked tightly into any available crevice. Some of the world's best shopping is found in Central, located on Hong Kong Island and only a short ferry ride away.

Are there certain IT Service Requests that you wish users could perform themselves to free up some of your time?
This month, we're joined by Nathan Mertz, Principal Consultant at Bennett Adelson in Cleveland OH. In this first article in a 5-part series, Nathan will walk us through the process of leveraging System Center 2012 to automate common IT Service Requests using System Center 2012 Service Manager and Orchestrator.
Hope you enjoy!
If your shop is like ours, I'm sure there's lots of little tasks that end users request that tie up a good portion of your day, probably because many of those requests require Admin rights to complete. What if you could automate those requests so that these tasks could be safely completed without requiring your manual intervention?
Wow! I could get back all sorts of time to spend on other projects!
This is exactly the kind of automation that System Center 2012 can provide! In this article series, we'll look specifically at two components of System Center 2012:
Together, these components can be used to quickly define and automate routine admin tasks to empower users with the ability to safely complete their own service requests.
In my environment, we have lots of developers and frequently they need to add special service accounts to the local Administrators group on a set of pilot development PCs. Of course, my developers don't have local Admin rights to these PCs themselves, and I'd like to automate this process so that I don't need to do it myself. Once I'm done automating this process, I'd like developers to be able to submit the request via a Service Request form in System Center 2012 Service Manager and have the request performed automatically for them.
Note that this is just one example in my environment of a real-world application for Service Request automation. I'm sure that you have lots of other common examples of IT Service Requests in your shop that you can automate using this same approach.
To automate this process, we can use the following 5 tasks:
In this article, as part 1 of a 5-part article series, we'll focus on an overview of the first task above. Be sure to follow this series for a walk-through of all of the other tasks above to complete this scenario.
To begin this scenario, please make sure you have the System Center Integration Pack for Active Directory installed in the System Center 2012 Orchestrator Deployment Manager as shown below. The AD Integration Pack can be downloaded for FREE in the Microsoft Download Center.
The final Runbook layout for the controls and activities we've added should resemble the below diagram. We'll be leveraging this Runbook in the future articles in this series to complete the automation of our scenario.
In Part 2 of this series, we'll be continuing with the second task in our scenario to define a connection between System Center 2012 Service Manager and Orchestrator. Be sure to follow this series on our technical blog at: http://bennettadelson.wordpress.com/.
Do It: In the meantime, below are resources that you may leverage to complete the Runbook steps above using System Center 2012 Orchestrator in your own lab environment …

New Insights in Mineralogy: Rossmanite and Elbaite (06.01.11)
The study of mineral specimens from the New York State Mineral collection has provided new insights into a unique occurrence in a Grenville-age marble from Newcomb, Essex County. Rossmanite and elbaite, two high-aluminum tourmaline species were found here. This locality is significant because: (a) it is the first occurrence of rossmanite and elbaite in New York; (b) it is the third occurrence of rossmanite in the USA; (c) both tourmaline species occur in marble and not in granitic pegmatites, their usual environment; and (d) this is a new occurrence of tourmaline with boron in tetrahedral coordination.

MEMORANDUM FOR: REGIONAL ADMINISTRATORS AREA DIRECTORS THRU: LEO CAREY Director Office of Field Programs FROM: JOHN A. KATALINAS Director Office of Management Data Systems SUBJECT: Changes to Handling Disputed Debt Collection CasesThe Regional Administrators' responses to our memorandum dated July 10, 1991 showed overwhelming support for the proposed change to refer disputed debt collection cases directly to Area Directors. It was felt that this would facilitate review and response time. Therefore, starting November 1, 1991, the procedures outlined below will be followed for disputed debt collection cases.
1. OMDS will forward a copy of correspondence from the employer together with other pertinent information directly to the Area Director.
2. A copy of the materials sent to the Area Director will also be sent to the Regional Administrator.
3. The Area Director, after receiving the case, will prepare a memorandum to OMDS recommending the action to be taken. The memorandum will be sent through the Regional Administrator for review and sign off.
Each Region should set up internal procedures as necessary for Area Offices to follow in responding to disputed debt collection cases. Area Offices should continue to prepare a detailed response on each disputed case which clearly supports the recommendation and which could be used to send to the employer.
Please note that these procedures apply only to disputed cases. In those
cases where an employer offers a compromise or settlement (i.e., payment of
less than the amount due), the matter will continue to be referred directly
to the Regional Administrator for decision. If you have any questions,
please contact me at FTS 523-7008.

loving this one
What a gorgeous model!! Very great detail work as always :3
Eyes are very captivating.
She is beautiful! I still love your sculptures. She looks alive. I also like the colours you used for her. This black with highlights of blue are very beautiful. She has something exotic, and we can guess she is not so nice, that mermaid
Yeah, everybody's stuck on the idea of Ariel and nice, singing mermaids when this is the real thing. Still beautiful, but exotic and deadly as you said. Amazing sculpture. Glad I found out about you.
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 *w*
This is awesome I love the sparkles in her tail <3
most wonderfully excellent
It's so beautiful.
This is my new favorite depiction of a mermaid! I love the color scheme, especially that sparkly silver skin and the blue black hands. And the detailing of the teeth and raised scales really make it real. Gorgeous!
Thank you so much! I love her too. I'm going to have more fun with the fantasy aspects on these ladies.
I had to look and see if there was a full body pic of this beauty. I can't get over how insanely beautiful she is. you are a very talented artist.
Thank you so much! You can see full shots on the auction if you follow the link in the description.

Democrats Reach across Aisle to Oppose Redistricting; Say Rejecting Map Is Only Fix to Gerrymandering
Byline: David Hill, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Maryland Republicans are driving efforts to overturn the state's newly drawn congressional map in a referendum next month, but they are joined by a number of Democrats who say their own party has gone too far in crafting districts for political gain.
Numerous Montgomery County Democrats are scheduled to hold a news conference Monday in Rockville during which they are expected to urge a no vote on ballot Question 5, which would reject the district map drawn last year by Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley and approved by the General Assembly.
Critics have accused the map's makers of lumping disparate communities together and diluting minority influence in an effort to give Democrats the majority in most districts. Opponents hope they can overturn the map and force the governor to draw a fairer one in time for the 2014 elections, but their ultimate goal is to establish a nonpartisan redistricting commission they say is the only solution to gerrymandering.
Since political parties gerrymander whenever they can, Maryland needs an independent redistricting commission, said Montgomery County Council member Phil Andrews, a Democrat. But there is no chance the governor and General Assembly will establish one unless Marylanders first reject this extreme gerrymander.
Last year's approved congressional map raised the ire of Republicans and many black Democrats, who waged an unsuccessful lawsuit against the map before gathering enough voter signatures to have it put on next month's ballot.
The vote on Question 5 will not affect this year's congressional elections. But if voters reject the ballot initiative, the governor and assembly would have to repeat the redistricting process and approve a new map in time for 2014.
Many skeptics have questioned the strategy behind the referendum, arguing that the governor and Democratic lawmakers are unlikely to draw a drastically different plan if the current one is overturned.
Every 10 years, the governor appoints a five-member committee to redraw the state's congressional and legislative districts to account for population changes. The committee submits its recommended maps to the assembly.
Opponents were able to petition the congressional map to referendum because it was passed as law by the assembly. …
