Early Life
William was born in Marmorpalais of Potsdam in the Province of Brandenburg. He was the eldest son of Wilhelm II, German Emperor (1859-1941) and his first wife Princess Augusta Viktoria of Schleswig-Holstein (1858-1921). When he was born, he was third in line for the throne, behind his grandfather and father, as the reigning Emperor was his great-grandfather. He was the eldest of the Kaiser's seven children, and his birth sparked an argument between his parents and grandmother. Before William was born, his grandmother had expected to be asked to help find a nurse, but since her son did everything he could to snub her, Wilhelm asked his aunt Helena to help. His mother was hurt and his grandmother furious. William was a supporter of football, then a relatively new sport in the country, donating a cup to the German Football Association in 1908 and thereby initiating the Kronprinzenpokal, the oldest cup competition in German football.
World War I
The Crown Prince was raised within militaristic circles. However, he had little command experience when he was named commander of the 5th Army in August 1914, shortly after the outbreak of World War I. In November 1914 William gave his first interview to a foreign correspondent and the first statement to the press made by a German noble since the outbreak of war. He said this in English:
"Undoubtedly this is the most stupid, senseless and unnecessary war of modern times. It is a war not wanted by Germany, I can assure you, but it was forced on us, and the fact that we were so effectually prepared to defend ourselves is now being used as an argument to convince the world that we desired conflict."
—Crown Prince Wilhelm, Wiegand
He led the 5th Army until November 1916, a two-year period which included the battle of attrition known as the Verdun Offensive. From April 1916 onward he tried in vain to convince the supreme command that the Verdun offensive no longer made any sense, but the campaign continued until 2 September of that year.
After the German revolution
After the outbreak of the German Revolution in 1918, both Emperor William II and the Crown Prince signed the document of abdication. The Crown Prince went into exile to the isle of Wieringen, in the Netherlands. In 1923, he returned to Germany after giving assurances that he would no longer engage in politics. The former Crown Prince held some political ambitions, and was reportedly interested in the idea of running for Reichspräsident as the right-wing candidate opposed to Paul von Hindenburg in 1932, until his father forbade him from acting on the idea.
The Crown Prince supported Hitler for some time, hoping and announcing in public that this man would do for Germany what Mussolini had done for Italy - making an end to all Bolshevist/Marxist influence. He had connections with some organizations, more than loosely connected with the National Socialist Party (Nazi Party) and allowed himself to be used by the Nazi government in various symbolic actions. After the murder of his friend, in the Night of the Long Knives (1934), he temporarily retreated from all political activities. Most of his efforts from 1919 until 1934 had been directed to make a return of the Hohenzollerns to the throne a viable option again, and he had assumed that Hitler would give this idea his support.
World War II
Führer und Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler was assassinated on 1 January 1936 by left-wing terrorists. Crisis broke out, and a provisional government was formed, with Generaloberst Ludwig Beck and Carl Friedrich Goerdeler as acting Reichspräsident and Reichskanzler, respectively. The 1936 election resulted in the collapse of the provisional regime, and former Emperor Wilhelm of Hohenzollern was called to Berlin to discuss the future of the country. After six hours of negotiations, a settlement was agreed: Wilhelm would return as German Emperor and former-Chancellor Gustav Stresemann would head the government.
William lived as a private citizen on his family's estates throughout World War II. Upon his father's death in 1941, William succeeded him as German Emperor and King of Prussia. The British surrendered to the Axis Powers in August 1941, and at once the Kaiser began working with foreign minister Ulrich von Hassell to achieve a friendly and co-operative foreign policy. The Franco-German Nonaggression Pact sent shockwaves over the continent; previously, the countries of Europe had seen republican France and imperial Germany as staunch rivals, ready to launch a new conflict in several years time. William hailed this "important friendship, newly found but ever-lasting."
The New German Policy
In 1942, Gustav Stresemann was succeeded as Chancellor by Centre Party leader Konrad Adenauer. The new government introduced many reforms, including the Antifaschistischer Dekret (Anti-Fascist Decree), the Gewerkschaftsgesetz (Trade Unions Act) and, most important of all, the Neue deutsch Politik (New German Policy). The Kaiser was an early supporter of the New German Policy, which incorporated Bismark's conservative Realpolitik and Hitler's expansionist Lebensraum ideas. Germany, Adenauer believed, required a "strong, sensible foreign policy capable of restoring the nation to its pre-WWI glory, without plunging her into another deadly conflict."
Ulrich von Hassell was replaced as foreign minister by Count Friedrich Werner von der Schulenburg, former ambassador to the Soviet Union, on 20 October. The Chancellor appointed him with the hope of improving Russo-German relations, as well as entering Germany into an alliance with the UK and her allies.
Early 1943 saw Germany return to the status of Great Power with the Berlin Agreement. Emperor William met with Winston Churchill (Prime Minister of the United Kingdom), Charles de Gaulle (President of France) and Benito Mussolini (Duce of Italy) at the Charlottenburg Palace on 01 February. The four leaders hoped to form a united front against Soviet Russia, whose communist dictator Joseph Stalin was making steady gains in eastern Europe and central Asia. Things began well, with William and de Gaulle agreeing on certain vital issues, such as the restoration of Germany's pre-1914 eastern borders if the USSR were to occupy Poland and force a war on the Reich. However, Mussolini soon pressed impossible demands on Britain and France, arguing for the Italian receival of Egypt, Somaliland and Tunisia. After Churchill deemed Il Duce's requests "pathetic and non-negotiable", Italy pulled out from the Berlin Agreement on the 7th.
Germany entered into a powerful alliance with the UK and France, and the Kaiser soon gained a new colonial empire with Cameroon and the Colony of Kenya. These became German West Africa and German East Africa, both of which helped fuel the growing Reich.
World War III
1945 began with a tranquil Europe, its nations flourishing. The USA prospered in quiet isolation, and the juntas of South America were starting to collapse, to be replaced by either democratic or socialist governments. Even Hirohito's militaristic Japanese Empire was at peace, having already conquered the whole of China in a bitter struggle. The first dispruption of this "new world order", as the Germans called it, was the Soviet invasion of Persia. Twenty-five divisions poured into the neutral state, and the attack triggered widespread critism from the western powers.
Sanctions crippled Russia's fragile economy, and Stalin was thus forced to take further action. Once their enemy in the south had been annexed to the USSR, the Russians moved against Poland. Stalin saw a revival of the war of the 1920s, where Poland was bitterly defeated. At 4am on 23 June, the Red Army crossed into Eastern Galicia, and the Poles declared war two hours later. Britain concluded the Anglo-Polish Mutual Assistance Treaty, which saw the Allies join the conflict on Poland's side.
Emperor William said in an interview for The Manchester Guardian:
"This is no small struggle. This is the third great war, a war of morality versus immorality; hope versus surrender; freedom versus oppression. The Russians have tipped this world's great nations into a struggle from which they can only escape if the eastern war machine is destroyed."
In the early afternoon of 10 May 1946, William began his second tour of the eastern front. His carriage arrived at Minsk, where the British-led White Russia Offensive was about to take place. Suddenly, a bomb exploded from under one of the seats, and everybody on the carriage died. The bomb had been sneaked into the carriage by two Russian spies, who flew back to Moscow the next day.
The Kaiser's death envoked widespread panic and uproar amongst the German population. Thousands of people took to the streets, vandalising Russian shops and discriminating against Russian immigrants. Prince Louis Ferdinand became King of Prussia and German Emperor.

Me and my girlfriend has been together for 3 months and its been a rough road. We had sex a few weeks ago and last week, she told her best friend and now her best friend is naggin at her talking bad about me. I really love this girl but tell me what you think. The other day, I was at her house and she was texting her friend the whole time. Then about 30 minutes before I had to leave I said "baby can you put the phone down for 30 minutes and spend time with me." Long story short she still texted her. Then the next day, she went to stay the night with her best friend, and she was taking forever to text me back. Then she kept telling me she had to text me later because she didn't want to be rude to her best friend. But she was rude to me the night before. Me and her only hung out for 4 hours but she was with her friend all day. She couldn't tell her friend bye for 30 minutes but constantly told me she had to go when she had over a day with her. And then I found out her best friend told her she don't like me and that she wants her to break up with me. Then today she sent a screenshot of what her friend said and her friend said I need to tell you something but don't tell your boyfriend. I'm sorry but it's kinda making me mad and I need some advice from other girls. Can you help me please.
Most Helpful Girl
Does not sound like she is treating you with respect at all and is heavily influenced by her friend who probably doesn't like you because you are competition for your girlfriend's attention. You are right if she is spending time with you then she should be with you and not text her friend. You can firstly try talk to her how it affects you, and see if you can get her to agree to change her ways. If that fails break up with her - either you will find someone else who will treat you better, or she will realise what she has lost and want you back and realise she needs to change how she treats you in order to keep you.10|10|0
Thank you I just wanted to make sure I wasn't in the wrong by being mad over this.
- Show AllShow Less
She said it was because she didn't want to make her friend mad but I told her it was bothering me that night. I am in love with this girl. I was raised to sleep with the girl u plan on marrying. I gave her my virginity. But now I'm having second thoughts about this.
I understand it is tough to go. against how you are raised. But a woman puts her man first (until. children come along) and it sounds like she is like a bunch of my ex's - they have no interest in creating a relationship that works for both people, which is a fundamental requirement for a relationship. It may be just immaturity on her part but I was with a 46 year old who still had not learned that a relationship needs open mindedness, compassion, and a willingness to find solutions that satisfy both parties. As for your beliefs, well you only live once and you need to make ot the most fulfilling and happy life you can. Dont allow your prior choices dictate your future - make your future choices the best ones you can. Dont be licked into a bad choice because of beliefs or the expectations of others. Ok you slept with her and. that was the choice you made with the best information at the time, you now have new information about her so make yoir next choice based on what you now know

SOUTHWICK Wanderers took full advantage of Miller Sports' inactivity to claim pole position in the battle to claim one of the two promotion places from Division Two.
With Wanderers' manager Matt Rusling opting for a day out at Priestly Grove, Calne, rather than a trip to Wembley to watch his beloved Man City lift the Capital One Cup, his loyalty to his team paid off as a 4-3 victory over Talbot FC saw his team move two points clear of their rivals.
Southwick fell behind to a trademark Dean Fry goal, but they turned things around to lead 3-1 at the interval thanks to goals from Pete Spong, an awesome Phil Stamp own goal and a first goal of the club from Marc Sheppard.
Talbot rallied in the second half and clawed things back to 3-3 via a second of the game from Dean Fry and Matt Law's silky finish.
With chances falling at both ends it was Southwick who snatched the spoils thanks to a fourteenth goal of the season from Jack Parker that earned Rusling's side their sixth win of the season.
Sutton Benger 3 Potterne CFC 2
A 3-2 VICTORY for Sutton Benger over Potterne CFC on the 3G pitch at Stanley Park gave Mark Merriman's side their third successive victory and also saw them complete a double over Pete Huntley's side who they beat 3-1 earlier in the season.
Benger and their guests traded first-half goals with Chris Miles seeing his opener for the home team cancelled out by Ben Mason.
The second half saw Rob Kent hit two goals to win it for Benger, his second being a wonder goal from 70 yards out. Ben House netted from the penalty spot for Benger's second of the game.

This blog entry is to keep the balance to my first one, and to have those short pieces I wrote together in one place. It wasn't my basic intention to write all seddieish, but as I joined this wiki right before iOMG and read other peoples contributions right after iOMG, they just came out like this. In fact these stories here are older than the one in my first blog entry. They were just scattered in other blogs comments. Not all of them are originally done by me, two of them are just variants of stories done by someone else.
So here we go:
Original by CartoonPrincess
[At the iCarly Studio]
Carly: So.... you like Freddie?
Sam [ disgusted] : No!
Carly: But you kissed him ... again!
Sam: NOO! ... Well, yes. I just wanted to make things even.
Carly: Huh!?!
Sam: ... and tricking him into thinking I like him was my biggest prank ever!
[Freddie throws himself out the window]
Sam: That moron! Who will operate the cam now??
[At the lockers]
Gibby: I hear you and Sam ... you know ... went to a barn?
Freddie: We ... WHAT!?!
Gibby: Well, just be careful that she doesn't break your thumbs, okay? Oh, wait, perhaps you and Sam and Tasha and me now could do more things together? Whatcha doin' this friday?
[Carly overhears all this behind the corner with a sad look. Everyone she tries to talk to just goes "Did you hear about Sam and Freddie?" or "Sorry, I'm busy. I've gotta tell <his_friends_name_here> about Sam and Freddie!"]
Original by SunriseDaisy
Sam: Hey Benson! I gotta tell you something.
Freddie: [groans] What do you want, Sam?
Sam: Glad you're happy to see me.
[Freddie rolls his eyes]
Sam: Anyway, I have something you have to do for me.
Freddie: Whatever it is, NO!
Sam: C'mon, Freddie, all I need for you to do is to simply tell Ms. Briggs that I can't show up to class today because I have to go to the doctors.
Freddie: Why can't you get Carly to say your excuse to Ms. Briggs?
Sam: I can't tell Carly because I can't find her. And it's not an excuse. I really have to go to the doctors.
Freddie: Well, I- Wait! You never went to the doctors in your life. Why do you have to go now?
Sam: Because...I...
Freddie: What?!
Sam: I...
Freddie: Sam, just say it.
Sam: I got one of those pregnancy tests, okay? I need the doctor to check if the result it gave me is really true...
[Freddie faints]
Sam [caresses her belly]: So, little Fredward, I really hope you will not inherit too much of your father...
This one is actually new, as I still can't imagine why Sam would fall for Freddie. And I'd like Melanie to appear again. Meanwhile the iLMM promos prove me wrong, but I'd have loved something like that to happen anyways. But who am I explaining to, as nobody will read this blog anyway?
[After the kiss]
Sam: Sorry
Freddie: It's cool...
Sam [grinning]: No, I meant I'm sorry that I had to play this charade just to get a kiss from you.
[Freddie looks utterly puzzled]
Sam [wraps her arms around his neck]: Look, it's no wonder you didn't recognize me - when we met first, you even denied my existence! Freddie, I am Melanie, not Sam.
Freddie: OH MY... THAT STORY AGAIN! [Gets her arms off his neck and backs off]
Melanie: But you noticed that I acted different than Sam. You even asked me about it!
Freddie: So, let's pretend for a moment you're not Sam. Then where is she? And why are you here?
Melanie: Okay...: Sam's in jail, once again. I wonder if she'll ever grow up. And I'm here because principal Franklin threatened her to get detention like forever if she misses any more classes. My own teachers think I'm sick and lay in bed at home.
Freddie: But how did you...? I mean... the clothes, the behaviour... you're like an exact copy of Sam? Did Carly notice you're not Sam?
Melanie: No, I don't think so. In primary school we did this a lot, acting like the other one. Mainly to keep Sam out of trouble. [steps towards Freddie, looking deep in his eyes] And there's at least one big difference between Sam and me: I like you! Can you imagine Sam kissing you? Twice?
Freddie: You have a point. So how is this going to continue?
Melanie: If you still don't believe me, we'll go visit Sam as soon as we get out here. And then ... [she smiles lovingly] you'll perhaps want to invite me to a smoothie or something?
Freddie: Well, okay, but until then can we please concentrate on our project?
Melanie [hugging him]: Okay sweetheart, let's go!
[They leave]

The History of California.
Native American Peoples lived in California for hundreds of years before the first Mexican or Anglo-American settlers reached California. These cultures didn't manage to leave behind any civilization of note.
The area was first colonized by the Spanish, but handed to the Mexicans after Spain acknowledged the country's independence. Later, large numbers of Anglo-American settlers arrived.
Bear Flag Revolt
After US Army Major John C. Fremont arrived in California on a mission to find a route to the Pacific, he began inciting rebellion in the local settlers. This came to a head in June 14th, 1846 when a group of Rebels seized the town of Sonoma and raised the Bear Flag for the first time. This later became known as the Bear Flag Revolt.
The same day, Rebels managed to capture General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, the Commandant of Northern California, who was recorded to declare the inevitability that without Mexico California would be annexed by the United States. The Commandant was later imprisoned in Fort Sutter, a rebel stronghold.
The First President of the Republic, William B. Ide, assumed the office and became the supreme commander of the Californian Militia.
American Troops under Fremont soon arrived to reinforce the Californians, but where persuaded not to seize control by Ide.
The Rebellion Spreads
The Mexican Governor sent 55 men to recapture Sonoma from the rebels in the Battle of Olompali, but where defeated by Ide and Fremont's combined troops. This is the first military conflict in the fledgling republic. In the meantime, the Republic captured several small towns who defected without a fight.
In early July, the United States launched a Naval Assault which captured Monterey, at the time headquarters of the Mexicans. The city was handed over to the Republic and later became a key strategic naval city for the overall campaign. A Californian detachment then was sent to Los Angeles which captured the city with little resistance. An attempt to retake the city by Mexicans and Loyalist Californios was defeated with the aid of US Captain William Mervine's troops, who had been sent to capture the city before news of its capture made it to US command. The Republic suffered its first defeat in the Battle of San Pasqual, although the soldiers fighting there where all American and the city of San Diego was captured regardless.
The Fort Sutter Conference
President Ide and Major Fremont met with Texan and American representatives at Fort Sutter on August 12th. The commanders admitted Californian troops to the Coalition. Command of the Californian Troops was then delegated to more experienced US offices.
The Southern Front
The Californian Militia marched south, to the border with Mexico. The Californian advance halted at the Mexican city of Santa Fe as they waited to establish supply lines and or reinforcements to arrive. The Mexicans then opened negotiations for the end of the war. Terms of the Treaty of Santa Fe, signed by California, Mexico, Texas and the United States (*) where:
- The Empire of Mexico recognized the sovereignty of the Republic of Texas and the Republic of California.
- All Territories West of the Bay of California are hereby ceded to the Republic of California.
- The United States hereby cedes the east half of the territory of New Mexico to the Republic of Texas and the west half of the aforementioned territory to the Republic of California. All other territories between New Mexico and Texas are ceded to the Republic of Texas, and all territories between New Mexico and California are hereby ceded to California.
(*) It should be noted that the US was pressured into signing the treaty, and had previously wished to annex Texas and California. As so, their spoils of war was denied.
The War of Texan Resistance
California and Texas held a Conference in the city of Austin to decide their borders. The meeting was largely chaotic and left much of their borders overlapping in New Mexico.
The United States invaded Texas on May 23rd, 1847, with the intent of annexing it. Texan Militia resisted, and the previously peaceful attempt to annex Texas blew up into the War of Texan Resistance. California, believing it would be next if Texas was Annexed, sent their own Militia to reinforce the Texans. Louisiana declared formal support and helped to arm the Texans, but refused to send troops of its own. Californian-Texan troops where surprisingly successful, and managed to eject the American troops a year into the invasion. The Americans, beaten by not defeated, retreated. The Peace of Texas, October 13th, 1848, ended the war,
After the war, there was some pressure to unify with Texas. Both Texas and California held separate referenda. In Texas, the measure was easily defeated. In California, 60 Percent of the population favoured independence.
Democratic Establishment
President Ide and other high ranking members of the Californian Militia ratified the constitution on November 2nd, finalizing the California Republic. Elections called immediately after saw Ide reelected with an overwhelming majority. His Californian Nationalist Party was the most popular in the nation, followed by the Democratic Coalition of California, a somewhat anti-military party of city-folk which feared dictatorship. The Capital of the Nation was moved to Fort Sutter.
One of the first acts of the Ide Administration was to reform the Militia. The Militia was reorganized into a more effective, more disciplined fighting force. A navy was commissioned to counter perceived threats from Mexico. Ide, a conservative, created a new system to Taxes and Tariffs, which was later altered by the Democratic Coalition. The Farming Industry became the principal economic strong point for the Republic.
Economic Boom
Although heavy migration and the growth of farming and fishing in California had already increased the economy, the discovery of gold sparked a gold rush. Thousands descended on California to seek their fortune. This is comparable to the Texas Oil Drive.
To aid this gold rush, a railway through California and Texas to Louisiana was built. It was later connected to the United States.
Texas and California became highly economically tied, and the question of unification once again arose. However, with the discovery of large mineral deposits on the contested border, Californian and Texan Corporations descended. Sporadic fighting among these soon flared up into a small scale war.
Texas Border Conflict
While corporate gangs scrambled and fought along the border, Nationalist Texans called for war. The Californian Militia, under General Fremont (son of the famous John Fremont, who became a Californian Citizen) Marched to the border and seized much of it. The Texans responded, and the two armies met at the Battle of Sherman's Fields. The large amounts of casualties shocked both sides, but mostly just angered the populace into supporting the war.
California began with the advantage, with more artillery pieces, soldiers and weapons due to its economic boom. Texan troops, while more skilled and experienced, where pushed back in multiple battles. Then, however, Louisiana threw its support behind Texas, allowing them to recover their ground. The war stalemated, sputtered and died. Peace was declared by both sides.
The war may have been started to clarify the borders, but ended with them more unclear then ever. In Texas, where it is known as the War of Californian Aggression, the war allowed the Nationalist to stay in power. In California, the wars unpopularity sped the Democratic Coalition into power.
Trading Power
When the Empire of Mexico built the Panama Canal, the riches of California where finally fully open to the rest of the world. Massive amounts of riches where obtained, immigration increased, and California was once again the richest place in the world. The Gold Industry and Agricultural Industry continued well, while the Fishing Industry tripled as California became more and more sea faring. Californian exploration saw new lands discovered, new riches brought back home and the increased diplomatic contact with the Kingdom of Hawaii. A few intrepid sailors established trade routes to Asia, bringing loads of silk, spices, and precious metals home. California quickly became known as the trading capital of the world. The principle stop between California and Asia, Hawaii, was of such importance that it was annexed. Around this time, the Democratic Coalition outlawed slavery.
Expansion and Federation
As California grew northwards, it encountered new hostile tribes of natives. The wars between them and California quickly increased the standing, putting the Nationalists back into power. The Nationalists eventually became the Federalists, and their rivals the Democratic Coalition split into the Liberals and the Socialists. Many new cities and new riches where founded, and it became clear that California was to big to be a direct democracy any more. The Constitution was rewritten, the government altered, states created, and the California Federation was born. National pride in the Federation and the popularity of the military pushed the expansion further as the population boomed. Nearby Expansion from Canada, Louisiana and Texas pushed the four countries into a land race. The fifth potential member, Russian America (later the Empire of Alaska) was forced out of the race as Canada captured Victoria.
The continuing popularity of the Federalists due to their success put most of the country on a pro-military mindset. With the myriad of wars in South America and Africa, the Federal Navy expanded greatly. Interventionism in Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Guyana and Chile made the Federation resented in South America. In California, the "Global Police" Mentality was all the rage and the Navy became wildly popular. A navy man could get discounts most anywhere, and was considered a hero unless proven otherwise.
As the gold and coal industries plummeted, more traffic was rerouted to Cuba and the Maritimes, and Texan Oil drew more immigration, the growth of California slowly stopped. The period of recession was short, but the country lost its boom. The loss of rampant wealth led to the stabilization of the classes in California led to a larger working class and working poor. The Socialists and Liberals gained in popularity, while the Federalist sensation died.
The Liberals where swept into power, and helped stabilized the economy. The Socialist Healthcare system and a Welfare system where adopted. This helped lower the gap between the rich and poor, and the economy slowly started to grow again.
As Mass Communications went up over the globe, California Culture became all the rage. Soon, movies, songs and books made there where selling overseas. The artistic community in California exploded. Soon, homosexuality became legalized, one of the first times it had been in history. As one of the world's cultural capitals, the economy of California skyrocketed.
Trade also boomed again. With the situation in Asia settling after the failed communist mass uprisings, California was once again the portal to the Orient. This helped the economy grow once more.
As a side effect of the economic growth, the conservative Federalists once again gained power.

Seriously itchy toes
I walked to the store today to pick up some groceries. They weighed less then a pound altogether. On my walk back there was this unbearable itchiness around the lining of my toenails. Not every toe had this problem, just a couple toes that were next to each other. and my pinky toe, which was not next to any.
The itchiness went away shortly after I got home.
Maybe this was caused by the heat? Any ideas?
Depending on the shoes, maybe from the heat and friction. Soak your feet you'll feel better.
Feet soaking sounds wonderful. :D
Comment deleted
My feet, so far, have not swollen at all, so not too sure. But it was hot and humid today during my walk.
I don't know. I know my feet sometimes get itchy on the bottom and Peppermint oil helps take the itchiness away. You could try any other essential oil you have on hand though just to see.
Hmm.. that's odd Amanda.. not sure what would have caused it.. do you feel okay otherwise?
Generally so I guess, the regular complaints still apply as my due date is a little less than 3 weeks away now. :D

Me and my husband have been married for 2 years going on 3. But I think we rushed it or I don't know well were still young I'm barley 19 turning 20 next week? But I really think we rushed it or mayb he did it because I was prego at the time and thought it was best. But I really love him of course but some time he kan be really immature and selfish. Not only that but he also has hurt me pretty deep wen I was prego and sometimes now I feel like he perfers to be out with his friends den with his family. I understand he needs space but he works all day and the whole week we barely see him.and he rarely wants to spent time with us. We argue a lot over little things.and I just don't knw what to do anymore...LOST :/

I guess you should go for holiday without him. Give him time to miss you. In every relation sometime we feel 'that sparks' has died down. I dnt think it does not mean he does not love you anymore. Try to avoid a fight or quarelling, it can become a habit after sometime. good luck.11|00|0

A look at numbers in action;Cross-phase;Reviews;Numeracy
BBC's Numbertime 11-20 has kept much of its winning formula, including the loveable El Nombre and a wide variety of styles. A wonderful addition is the use of moving counters that make a variety of patterns relating to each number. Each section of the programme could be used to introduce a lesson's theme and revisited at the whole-class session. The activity book contains worksheets for reinforcement of work on individual numbers and ideas for more open-ended activity. Teachers are also given a helpful list of important questions.
The latest instalment of Megamaths, on measure, is also little changed in its format. There is plenty of action and humour, centering on the antics of characters from a pack of playing cards. There is some mismatch of levels - for example, in one programme the characters rehearse the need for standard units of measure and show how 128cm can be written as 1m 28cm or 1.28m. This is unlikely to work unless the sections are shown separately to appropriate ability groups. But each section would provide a good starting or discussion activity for the numeracy hour.
The Maths Challenge programmes and accompanying tapes are designed in a quiz format for nine to 12-year-olds. Each section concentrates on a single area of the number curriculum, and could be used as revision or to improve children's speed of mental calculation. They would be most useful for national test preparation. An audio cassette complements the programmes, with 10 five-minute activities covering the same ground. These would best fit the "mental maths" slot at the start of a numeracy hour. Peter Patilla's accompanying activity book contains excellent ideas for improving mental skills and is the highlight of the package.

After reportedly receiving support from Iran, Chuck Hagel, President Obama's defense secretary nominee, has yet another endorsement to add to his resume, this one coming from the Communist Party USA.
People's World, the Communist Party USA's official magazine, touted Hagel as "represent[ing] the more sober elements who have called in our national discourse for rejection of the old cold war tactics, the unilateralism and the continual push for wars all over the world."
Advertisement - story continues below
The magazine's labor editor, John Wojcik, slammed the "neocon" U.S. Senate for trying to "force Hagel to disavow his opposition to what they call the 'successful' surges in Iraq and Afghanistan."
A People's World blast email further lamented Hagel "is still the subject of controversy due to some mild criticism he made of the State of Israel."
Wojcik contended "it was the U.S. Senate, not President Obama's nominee, Chuck Hagel, that fell down on the job at the hearings."

AUSTIN, Texas - The Texas Department of Public Safety is asking for the public's help in solving a homicide from 1983.
The public's help is sought in solving the stabbing death of Charles Alfred Bates, 51, in Balcones Heights, Texas, which is an enclave of San Antonio.
DPS officials said an unsolved case is featured each month by the Texas Rangers Unsolved Crimes Investigation Team in an effort to generate new investigative leads and bring added attention to unresolved or "cold cases" across the state. It's part of a DPS public awareness program.
Bates was found stabbed to death on May 22, 1983, inside the Po Folks restaurant at 4250 Fredericksburg Road in Balcones Heights. Officials said Bates was the general manager and an undisclosed amount of cash was stolen from the restaurant.
Investigators believe Bates was killed by someone he knew. Officials said Bates had been in the restaurant business for many years and was engaged to be married.
San Antonio Crime Stoppers is offering a reward associated with the case. Officials said to be eligible for the cash reward, the tip must be submitted by calling 210-224-STOP (7867) or visiting the San Antonio Crime Stoppers website.
Tipsters can also submit a tip through the Texas Rangers' Cold Case website or call the Missing Persons Clearinghouse at 800-346-3243, officials said.
Visit the Texas Rangers' Cold Case website for more information.

The average American tech user has evolved in so many ways over the course of the decade. Especially with the emergence of new devices with different form factors, people want to get their hands on the latest and the greatest device out there. And tablets are no different. Although the concept of tablets were taken seriously post the arrival of the iPad in 2007, the idea pretty much existed all along. But today, as we near 2013, tablets have pretty much taken the markets by storm. And according to a new survey conducted among 60,000 Americans by Forrester Research, tablet ownership has doubled in 2012. Out of the 60,000 Americans that took part in the survey, a total of 19% apparently owned a tablet.
The survey included people from the ages of 18 and up, so that covers a wide range of Americans. Unsurprisingly, it turns out that the youth were among the most excited about tablets, while people aging from 47 and up were the least likely to own a tablet, but the number among them has doubled from 2011. Of course these stats cover only the U.S. and not the entire world, so the numbers could change elsewhere depending on the regions. But this gives us an idea as to how technology has evolved in the past few years, especially with Google's new budget tablet arriving this year along with the flurry of iPads (iPad 3, iPad 4 and the iPad Mini). It won't be wrong to say that Google's offering has made tablets more attractive to the users. Although Amazon's Kindle Fire existed in the market since 2011, it wasn't quite supported by Google and still isn't. Which is why see the Nexus 7 score against Amazon's offering.
The survey further reported that over 84% of Americans go online every day. That number shouldn't be surprising at all, and I'm sure a large majority of those users would be on Facebook too. The number has risen from 78% last year, so that's a growth of 6%. This invariably is due to the increase in the ownership of tablets and smartphones in general. Over half of all the adults involved in the survey owned a smartphone, apparently. Forrester has revealed several more stats which shed light on the amount of users accessing internet via TVs and gaming consoles. So looking at these numbers, it is clear that technology is ruling our lives and the numbers would only increase in the coming days. 2013 will definitely see plenty of new innovations and new technological advancements which would further increase the number substantially. Especially with Windows tablets joining the fray, we could see more and more traditional users taking a liking towards tablets.
Are you one of those tablet owners?

We can get you past no … Probably.
A wonderful Daily Shout from New Yorker contributor Hallie Cantor caught my eye last week: "Everything I Am Afraid Might Happen If I Ask New Acquaintances to Get Coffee".
Thankfully, processes like Lunch Roulette can help. Organizations that use our platform have made the act of opting into random lunch meetings super easy … so we can get you past the first two hurdles right off the bat:
- They will say no.
- They will say no and laugh at me for not having enough existing friends to get coffee with
My favourite, and probably the thing I am most afraid of when talking to any new person is #16, "They'll want to talk about CrossFit." That, unfortunately, Lunch Roulette cannot help with.
In other news, a Vox article that caught my eye last week reminded me of an earlier Lunch Roulette blog posting bemoaning the fact that people pooh-pooh lunch. After a decade in Switzerland the authour of

Tourism contributed sh6.3b to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the financial year 2014 – 2015, up from sh5.6b in 2013 – 2014. Uganda registered an increase of visitor numbers from 1,206,334 to 1,266,046. This is in part a result of enhanced marketing strategies and improved infrastructure, among others.
The sector contributed 592,500 jobs to the economy, which was an increase from 551,100 in 2013. The Minister of tourism Maria Mutagamba, said tourism is able to turn around the economy with continued government support. She also urged local governments to budget for tourism activities. She said there are plans to improve tourism infrastructure in areas such as the Rwenzori sub-region which have beautiful scenery that visitors find attractive.
The chief Executive Officer of Uganda Tourism Board, Stephen Asiimwe, explained that the organisation's strategy is to find more innovative tourism products to entice visitors to spend more while in the country. He also suggested that reviving a national airline would boost tourism in the country.
The sector is expected to grow by 8% in 2015 and by 6.6% in the next 10 years.

Street Banners
Under the banner program, the BID is responsible for reviewing banner designs, installing and removing banners, coordinating rotations of banners and ensuring quality control standards throughout downtown. The BID shall not be responsible for any theft, vandalism or weather damage that occurs on downtown street banners.
Banner applicants are responsible for requesting banner space, developing a design proposal, producing banners according to the BID specifications and paying all required costs and fees.
Apply online
- Banners must encourage a positive image of downtown Spokane.
- Applicants must be, or associate with, a nonprofit organization.
- Banners may promote Citywide special events or activities open to the public.
- Banners may celebrate or draw attention to seasonal activities.
- Banners may promote a public awareness campaign.
Light poles on Post Street, Wall Street, Riverside, Main Ave, and Spokane Falls Blvd. are equipped for flags. Downtown Spokane will install flags for special events under the above criteria.
As per City Ordinance, street banners may not be advertising. To assure that the banners comply with City Ordinance, the Downtown Spokane Partnership requires pre-approval of design before banners are produced.
The fee for use of city poles is $20 per pole, which covers installation and removal of new and existing banners. Applicants are responsible for all costs related to the design, production, and delivery. At the aforementioned cost, banners will be displayed for four weeks prior to the event, depending on the needs of the applicant. Additional weeks may be available for an additional fee, depending on availability. All fees must be paid in full to the Downtown Spokane Business Improvement District.
- Placement of banners within any given zone will be under the sole discretion of the BID.
- Requesting organizations may request to hang banners in one or more zones on a first-come first-served basis.
- Banner location preferences are identified by the event organization; however, overlapping events may require coordination between organizations.
- It is preferred that special event banner promotions hang for a minimum of four weeks.
- New banner bracket locations may be selected; however, the cost for new brackets and their installation will be covered by the requesting organization.
- Click for zone map.
Reservations will be accepted up to one year but no less than one month in advance of the requested instillation date on a first-come, first served basis. Applicants can expect notification of approval/rejection/adjustments within 2 weeks of submittal. All applicants must submit a completed application and a nonrefundable deposit of $100 to secure the reservation. This deposit is applicable toward the total cost of installation.
Applicants must submit the design of banner at least one month prior to reservation date for approval, though it is preferred that design is submitted with the application. This requirement does not apply to applicants who have utilized the banner program in the past if the banner design has not changed. Applicants are strongly encouraged not to have banners produced prior to first approval.
Banners are intended to promote Downtown special events and not serve as an advertisement tool. Corporate sponsorship may be identified in text with a maximum size of 2 inches tall and only with the approval of the Downtown Spokane BID.
Street banners are viewed quickly or from a distance, therefore, the message needs to be conveyed rapidly. A small number of design elements, bright, contrasting colors, and large, clear typography are common elements of successful banner designs. The design of new and/or modified banners will require approval by Downtown Spokane prior to banner development.
Reoccurring event banners may not hang for more than five years (or 20 total weeks). Faded and torn banners will not be displayed and the requesting organization is responsible for re-placement.
Production Costs
Banners range in cost from about $100-400 per banner depending on how many colors are used, the design, materials, and quality. Lower quality banners will last for a shorter term through the weather, elements, and traffic.
Production Resources
- Screen Tek - Liberty Lake, 509-928-8322
- DiJulio Display - West Side, 800-321-9627
- Instant Sign Factory – Spokane, 509-456-3333
- Cassel Promotions – Spokane, 509-747-0062
- Designer Decal - Spokane 509-535-0267
To calculate the number of banners, add together the banners in approved Zones and add a minimum of two additional banners per Zone (for flags add an additional five).

Surprisingly, I do. wht about you all?
- Yes I doVote A
- No, I don'tVote B
Surprisingly, I do. wht about you all?
I am totally happy being single. But when i meet a girl I want to go out with, I'll be happy in a relation shop. B-)
Have an opinion?
It has it's ups and downs, just like being in a relationship does. Overall I certainly do not need a relationship to enjoy myself.
I've pretty much stayed single cause I didn't think I could put 100% into a relationship til uni was done. Graduate this year and already close to a relationship, think I'll enjoy it when it happens :) I'm pretty happy which ever way really.
Yeah, I think so. I'm pretty a content hermit. It's sure better than being with the wrong one. My counterpart would have to be free from the social matrix and above the abyss.
Hate it. Done it for far too long.
i've been singel all my life by choice cuz i have more important prioritys than relationships but if i found the right girl i won't mind
Yes I m enjoying being single n virgin... I can control my feelings n sex... No gf no worries... :D
Most of the times yes i enjoy being with myself but then sometimes i feel there should have been someone to bring that stability to life. Its mix feelings i guess.
So lets enjoy this mix feelings life with mixing the fun to double :-D:-D
Nope, I've grown to hate it.
I have my up days and down days
i have a crush i can't possibly say yes to this
I enjoy my freedom when I'm single and less obligations. But I do miss having an emotional connection, and feeling loved by someone other than your family.
I think it depends on my mood really.
I do like being single because your time is your own time. You're not relying on anyone else, if you wanna slob out and eat a pizza and ice cream, then feel awful the next time and go to the gym then it's totally in your hands to do that.
However I like being in a relationship because there is someone there for me to help me through my problems and day to day life. There's a support for me. And it's nice to work towards a goal together.
So really, depends on my mood! :)
Whether I am single or not, I enjoy.
I am not single now. I was single for most of my life. I have only been in one other serious relationship besides the one I am in now. And have only casually dated before that. I never minded being single. It didn't bother me and I never actively searched for a partner, because I was just used to it. I had never been in love before being with my current significant other. I am much, much happier with him.
Yeah, I never felt desperate to date. I have a friend who has never been single since she started dating at the age of 13 and she is now 27. The longest she has been single is 3 months, maybe? I feel as if she does not know who she is. She is constantly changing with each relationship she is in. Drastically changing. It makes me sad.
It has it's pro's and con's. I enjoy the freedom. I enjoy not dealing with relationship drama. I enjoy being a little flirty here and there. But other times I just want to cuddle up and watch movies and kiss and hug.
Yeah it's nice. I can flirt with whoever the hell I want and the only person I have to worry about spoiling and showering in affection is myself.
Yes I do, it's more time to focus on myself. You don't have to give any explanations to anyone. Also you can be flirty, which normally I wouldn't be. It has it's perks of course. I know now just to take my time jumping back to a relationship.
As much as I would love a boyfriend, I wouldn't be happy unless I really did love him and he loved me. Being single is great because you have the freedom o flirt with as many guys as you like. You get to learn what does and what dosnt work.
Yeah i do to a certain point but then i miss being in a relationship

Let me start by commending your thoughts and opinion on why you're against the celebration of a man who was convicted for financial crime. It shows that we still do have some upright and genuinely straightforward and patriotic citizens in Nigeria who still believe in due process and doing things the right way.
But I'll anxiously like to ask this question; tell me one, just "ONE" political heavyweight in Nigeria as a whole who is 100% clean and free from financial irregularities, OR better still, if an honest money laundering investigation is to be conducted across the Nation, can you beat your chest that your very own political idol will come out clean as a saint? Let him without sin cast the first stone.
To me, James Ibori, former governor of Delta State, was just a victim of circumstances. Every other top politician walking freely today could've been trapped in same net as Ibori if the radar was centered on them.
YES, Ibori was jailed for an offence against the state, but trust me, if he is being celebrated with this much enthusiasm just on hearing the news of his freedom, it simply means he is distinct, and has set a milestone in Delta state that is yet to be surpassed. He's no doubt one of the best (if not the best) governor to ever rule Delta state.
He has empowered more youths and produced more political gladiators than "any" other top politician as far as Delta state is concerned. He played a key role to earn Delta state the relevance which it enjoys today. You can't write the history of the"new Delta state" without making reference to IBORI.
While we dwell on the things he did wrong, let's not forget the many things he did RIGHT.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin With Bourbon Glaze
Recipe by Leslie in Texas
I served this over the summer when we had houseguests and everyone wanted the recipe.It's a Kentucky-style barbeque with a paprika-based rub first and then a delicious bourbon glaze to finish the tenderloin.I think this would be good with baby back ribs too!Prep time does not include marinading time.
Top Review by Take a Letter Maria
This was very good, I loved the rub for the tenderloin. I must have had my grill on to high because the outside burnt a little, I will keep a better eye on it next time. I did decrease the black pepper by half (picky eaters). Other than the bit of burnt on the outside the inside was moist, juicy and flavorful. Served with my sour cream mashed potatoes and crescent rolls(pillsbury) and a nice green salad. Thank you for the great recipe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cookiemonster2 from Correction Earlier today I wrote a review on the Belmont Recliner and I'd like to change the review. I had a bad day and when my recliner was delivered with the back off - I was upset and unable to put it in place properly. My husband took one look at it and effectively put it together in an instant - no tools or problems. So sorry I complained - it is a lovely MCM chair and we love the look, comfort, and quality. Thanks for hearing me out - happy with this chair!

Rated 5 out of 5 by GeeGeethefirst from Beautiful recliner! I was a little skeptical at ordering a recliner online but couldn't find anything else I liked when looking at recliners in my local area. The recliner arrived in beautiful condition, very carefully packed and super easy to assemble. No tools necessary! The leather is high quality and the chair extremely comfortable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by csmith541 from Gorgeous, comfortable, great quality I was a bit nervous to purchase such an expensive recliner online without being able to sit in it but the reviews were good so I went for it. I am thrilled with this recliner! It's very comfortable. The leather is incredibly soft and it reclines to almost a horizontal position. We got the charcoal color. Online it looks black but it's actually a very dark grey. The wood on the sides is a beautiful walnut color. No red tones at all. You cannot beat this price for a modern looking genuine leather recliner.

Rated 2 out of 5 by poolhouse from Belmont Leather Recliner Its a beautiful chair - but know in advance (I was unaware) that the drivers drop it off with the back NOT attached. WHO delivers a recliner with the back not attached? There are NO INSTRUCTIONS and the drivers do not return my phone calls (thinking they might have taken them away with packaging?) When I put the backs on - sliding in brackets that are there - they wobble around. Again, who delivers a recliner unassembled?? Grandinroad does! Moral of the story - read the fine print.

What is the depth of the seat cushion from the front to the backrest?
It's 22 inches. Fits perfectly for my 6 foot husband. It's a little too long for me (5'5") but when you recline the chair, it isn't a factor. You'll love the quality of the leather and the construction. It took awhile to be delivered, but worth the wait.
Date published: 2016-12-31
What is the length from "top to toe" at full extension? Is there any gap between the back and seat upon full extension?
Thank you for your interest in the Belmont Leather Recliner. When extended this chair is approximately 76" from head to foot. There is a small space between the back and seat to allow movement, but there is no gap between them.
Date published: 2017-04-07
What kind of wood is the frame? What color is the stain? It looks reddish in the photo.
Thank you for your interest in the Belmont Leather Recliner. We are looking into this information for you. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Date published: 2017-06-22
Do you have a picture of the back of this recliner in a reclined position?
Thank you for your interest in the Belmont Leather Recliner. Unfortunately, we do not currently have a photo of the back of this chair when reclined, but the second picture on our website does show the reclined position for this chair. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

- 6.5/10
With Batman #13, the "I Am Suicide" arc comes to its ambitious, inconsistent and ultimately unsatisfying conclusion. The creative team tries to bring a lot to the table, but having so much going on means the plot loses focus. Do I think that this issue, and the arc as a whole, would have been more effective if it had been more focused on simply delivering a compelling and twisty adventure? Sure. Do I love a lot of what they put into this arc, though? You betcha.
With Batman #13, the "I Am Suicide" arc comes to its ambitious, inconsistent and ultimately unsatisfying conclusion. Tom King is a writer I greatly admire, and I actually can appreciate a lot of what he tried to do with this arc, but he ends up with a story that has so much on its plate that there's a problem giving each element enough space to effectively mesh into a cohesive whole. With this final issue, we're left with a few major successes but ultimately a feeling of missed opportunities.
The issue centres around the culmination of Batman's mission to abduct the Psycho Pirate from the protection of Bane in his Santa Prison stronghold. Armed with only his plan and a team of enemies recruited from Arkham, Batman has to defeat one his most imposing foes by relying on allies he'd be crazy to trust.
That's been the set-up for this arc since the first instalment, and issues since then have varied wildly in quality and cohesion. King and artist Mikel Janin definitely bring a lot to the story in terms of material; aside from the central suicide mission plot, there's also an examination of Batman and Catwoman's relationship, as well as an overarching thematic question about Batman's mission against crime possibly being some form of long-form suicide, a way to leave the world in a way that means something. With three goals like that, it'd be quite the juggling act to make sure each element is presented in a satisfying way that ties into the story cohesively.
And while I respect and appreciate King and Janin's ambitions in this regard, I don't think they succeed. The arc as a whole has had issues that drop the momentum of the mission narrative for introspection into the characters, rendering the plot devoid of growing complexity. The suicide aspect was really effectively introduced and examined in a previous issue, but the Catwoman/Batman relationship stuff is just sort of there, and never coalesces into anything beyond forbidden fruit or regret. And seeing as how it looks like we're going into more Bat/Cat stuff in subsequent issues, I'm not sure why the team felt we needed so much of it in an earlier issue in terms of focus. This arc might have been better without Catwoman's presence, especially if it looks like a lot of her mysteries and her relationship with Batman is going to be explored later.
As a result, the climax of the mission that is supposed to be the whole point of the arc comes off as anti-climatic and tacked on here. The Santa Prison stronghold, and Bane himself, had been initially built up to be indestructible and deadly. But the story here shows that Batman was in control of everything the whole time. Now, I'm all for these kinds of puzzle-box heist/caper movies where you think everything's going to hell but it turns out have been going to plan. But for that to work, you need to convince your audience that the protagonists are in real jeopardy and that they're on the brink of disaster, even if they're just conning the mark. But neither Batman or his team ever really appeared to be concerned. Batman, as a character, just doesn't admit defeat or look weak. He's been grimly determined throughout the whole arc, so revealing that he had a master plan covering every eventuality isn't much of a surprise. The plan itself, aside from a couple of elements, isn't even that intricate.
And if you're going to build a mission/caper/heist plot, then it needs to be more tightly focused on the plot than usual. Frankly, it needs to be a puzzle-box of moving parts with a structure that keeps making things seemingly worse and more complicated. It needs to be surprising. It needs to zig and zag. After Batman gets captured and his team gets inserted into the fortress, there aren't a lot of reversals that happen. Batman keeps telling Bane he's going to win, and we have no reason to ever believe otherwise. I mean, there's a character who literally stands around in the corner doing nothing until his part of the plan arrives.
Thankfully, as has been the case for the arc as a whole, Batman #13 features gorgeous art from the art team. The art is moody and atmospheric, lending Bane's fortress a hellish tone that makes the whole setting feeling like a descent into some kind of underworld. The colors are superb, and the action across multiple characters and components are executed with precision and pace. The series remains a stunningly good-looking one.
Look, though this book is flawed and I think unsatisfying as whole, it's this way because King and company are trying to pack as much into Batman #13 (and the arc as a whole) as they possibly can. A mistake of ambition and innovation in storytelling is absolutely my favorite kind of mistake. Do I think that this issue, and the arc as a whole, would have been more effective if it had been a little less ambitious, a little more focused on simply delivering a compelling and twisty adventure? Sure. Do I love some of what they put into this arc, though? You betcha, especially the recurring exploration of "suicide" and how it relates to both Bruce and Bane. This is an issue (and arc overall) that needed another round of tightening, but I am still excited to see the Dark Knight's adventures being overseen by such a bold and creative team. 6.5/10

Green Energy Koyal Group Inc: Wave energy has potential to be cheaper than wind
Wave energy could be cheaper and easier to integrate into current energy systems than other forms of renewables because of its relative consistency, according to new analysis.
The study, a collaboration between researchers at Oregon State University, the University of Victoria, and private industry, estimates that the cost of integrating wave energy into the system would be 10% or less than the costs of integrating wind energy. However, the researchers noted that integration is just one component.
The findings, published in journal Renewable Energy, are based on a lower variability with wave energy. The researchers explain that the variability of alternative energy sources is one of the factors that holds back their wider use because if wind or solar energy decreases and varies widely, then other energy production has to back it up, adding to the overall cost of energy supply.
In comparison to other renewables, wave energy has a lower variability and by balancing wave energy production over a larger geographic area this can be reduced further. As a result, wave energy has the potential to provide cheaper and more consistent energy than both wind and solar.
"Whenever any new form of energy is added, a challenge is to integrate it into the system along with other sources," explains Ted Brekken, an associate professor and renewable energy expert in the College of Engineering at Oregon State University.
"By producing wave energy from a range of different sites, possibly with different types of technology, and taking advantage of the comparative consistency of the wave resource itself, it appears that wave energy integration should be easier than that of wind energy. The reserve, or backup generation, necessary for wave energy integration should be minimal."
Whilst wave energy is still in the infancy of its development, and as a result is not price competitive on an overall bases, costs are expected to fall further as technologies improve, systems are developed and the energy source becomes more widespread.
