I live in a wing of a building of seventeenth century origin, and which is situated on the waterlands of the Somerset Levels. It's rather ramshackle in a charming way; the current roof superstructure envelops the original thatched one for example. The walls are ludicrously overbuilt in terms of their structural integrity, being a good two feet thick. Then again, due to them resting directly upon a formerly afforested sea-bed, and so subject to imperceptible undulations from the constantly shifting peat grounds beneath, it's as well that they are so in order to grant something level on these un-level levels, and which nature might otherwise topple in time.
My bedroom windows are of the older variety: sash-style, timber framed with large iron counterbalances attached to rope pulleys which hoist the single glazed panels. Due to the absence of any effective thermal barrier, then as my body loses water overnight due to respiration and transpiration, so it is that much of the same deposits itself on the thin glass of those panels in a process of reverse vaporization. This occurs as the vapours cool in proximity to the glass, and when the outside temperature is lower than that of my bedroom. When I awaken each morning and peer out, the world appears opaque and hard to discern.
What also happens upon awakening is that I begin to generate thoughts. My brain rises in temperature and excites, sending vapours of thought-forms out into awareness. These are seldom very interesting. It feels like an involuntary purging that the mind obligatorily accommodates in its role as facilitator of the grey matter's largely vapid outpourings, a few of which pass muster, yet by far the greater part of which do not. So there is this transpiration of thought-forms that echoes the nightly issuance of watery vapours into the air. And what are the effects of this? Again, they are analogous: the reality of life appears opaque and hard to discern.
Some may argue that for them this is not so, and that reality appears in pellucid clarity upon awakening: 'It's a nice day; It's going to be fun in the office; I bet that new recruit was impressed by what I said to her; I'll take her for a drink later; I'd better wear those snazzy new boxer-shorts today'. Yes, for this person, the world is perfectly clear, so much so that they even anticipate what may happen within it as apparent certainties. There's no opaqueness, there's nothing that's hard to discern. The weather will stay fair; so their colleagues will be in a good mood; and the new recruit will undoubtedly succumb to their further charms.
So which of us is being more realistic? Is it the person who discriminates as regards their condensations of thought, seeing them for what they are in actuality, or is it the person who inhabits them as their world itself? This begs the question as to what is the meaning of clarity. We can have clarity of thought; we can be ruthlessly logical in our discursive thinking, such that it becomes impermeable to effective opposition from the vapours of other's thoughts. This is all well and good up to a point. Additionally though, we can have clarity about the nature of thought itself. This, I would suggest, is a necessary prerequisite of knowledge.
How then, can one tell if another has clarity? It cannot be ascertained by the precision of their words, nor by their eloquence or poetic beauty. Neither can it be known by the other's purposefulness, nor their piercing gaze. Perhaps the better indicators come in observing a certain coolness or insouciance within the emotional stance of the person projecting their thoughts. Such attitudes may indicate a lack of attachment to the mind's projections – the narratives it cleaves to as part of an identity construct. Another indication is the willingness of someone to laugh readily at themselves; this too indicates clarity of thought on the human condition.
As soon as we think, or indulge any form of mentation, there's a greater or lesser condensation of thought. There's a reverse vaporization that to some extent renders the world opaque and hard to discern as it truly is. The condensation smears out across the window of pristine awareness, fabricating incredibly intricate patterns and rivulets as it does so. To gain true clarity, we need not attempt to overcome thought though. True clarity arises with the focused seeing of the condensation, with the knowing of its same one-dimensionality as the glazing, and with the overarching vision as to a beyond of the pane itself – all of this at once.

More specifically, it's the more youthful "crianza" and "joven" wines from Rioja that go best with a variety of grilled foods and lighter picnic fare. They are made to be consumed within a few years of release and aren't aged more than a year in oak barrels, a requirement for their older "reserva" and "gran reserva" siblings that can make them monstrously heavy and complex.
Amazingly – thanks to the lingering economic sluggishness –two of our favorites that we've been recommending for nearly two years are still on store shelves (and still widely on sale for between $9 and $13 a bottle). Yet much of the joy of drinking wine comes from trying something new. So if you like that style, but want an alternative to Bodegas LAN Rioja Crianza 2006 or 2009 Montebuena Rioja, you can pick up a bottle of 2008 Ares Rioja Crianza, a $15 to $20 wine currently on sale for $9.99.
"Spice box, leather, violets, incense, and blackberry aromas inform the nose of a savory, elegantly-styled Crianza with excellent volume and balance," wrote Miller in the June 2011 issue of Wine Advocate. "It can be approached now but has enough structure to drink well through 2020."
Wines on sale for $9.99 aren't typically ones that you stash away in the cellar for another seven or eight years of bottle age. And most everyday wine drinkers don't have the patience to ignore these deliciously youthful but elegant Spanish wines. But at $10 a bottle, it might be worth buying a case and hiding a few bottles from yourself to see what they taste like two ... five ... eight years from now. It certainly wouldn't be an expensive experiment.

- Synopsis
- This volume of Annals of Information Systems will acknowledge the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the International Society for Decision Support Systems (ISDSS) by documenting some of the current best practices in teaching and research and envisioning the next twenty years in the decision support systems field. The volume is intended to complement existing DSS literature by offering an outlet for thoughts and research particularly suited to the theme of describing the next twenty years in the area of decision support. Several subthemes are planned for the volume. One subtheme draws on the assessments of internationally known DSS researchers to evaluate where the field has been and what has been accomplished. A second subtheme of the volume will be describing the current best practices of DSS research and teaching efforts. A third subtheme will be an assessment by top DSS scholars on where the DSS discipline needs to focus in the future. The tone of this volume is one of enthusiasm for the potential contributions to come in the area of DSS; contributions that must incorporate an understanding of what has been accomplished in the past, build on the best practices of today, and be be integrated into future decision making practices. The primary questions raised by this volume are: What will information systems-based decision support entail in twenty years? What research is needed to realize the envisioned future of information systems-based decision support? How will the teaching of information systems-based decision support change over the next twenty years? What are the best practices of teaching in the decision support area that can be leveraged to best disseminate DSS knowledge advances to students and practitioners?

Well done to the students at Vienna's MODUL Uni for making fun music video – not bad PR for the Uni and City.

Wandering through Vienna's streets it's always worth keeping eye open for courtyards and passageways in which nestle shops, restaurants and galleries. Be warned they are not always obvious to the uninitiated despite the efforts of entrepreneurs to attract your attention with strategically placed signs. Part of the problem can be that despite the signs it's not always obvious whether a doorway is a private or public entrance. Moreover, Vienna streets have so many signs directing you to shops or indicating offices and alike that after a while you tend to filter them out, the way we manage to not quite watch the TV commercials.
Many a Vienna passageway or courtyard provides a wonderful setting for restaurant, bar, or heurigen, a peaceful oasis in which to drink, eat and chat. Others are often home to interesting independent shops. If you do discover or regularly frequent such a location it's always worth asking yourself about the history of the build(s) which surround you.
A favourite location of mine forms a useful short cut from the Vienna English Theatre and Veganista (the Vegan ice cream shop). It also has a surprising history.
Despite housing galleries, shops, restaurants, offices, apartments and flats (with assorted business signs on the main streets) the passageway linking Lerchenfelderstraße with Neustiftgasse is one of those locations that people seem to often miss. More than once lifelong residents of Vienna have been surprised when I've suggested we take this particular short cut. It was a the result of such surprise – and over a rather delicious vegan ice cream standing across the road looking at the buildings Neustiftgasse entrance – that we began to wonder about the buildings history. The name chosen for one of the restaurants, Monastiri, stimulated the debate and after a quick search on the internet we were deep in conversation about the former monastery built in 1847.
So next time you find yourself walking down a Vienna street watch out for one of those oasis with a history.

The Vienna Music Film Festival is taking place in the Rathausplatz. I was in the platz for a bite to eat yesterday and took a few pictures but I'll be heading back to enjoy some films on Vienna's warm summer nights.

Gem of a building – lesser known Vienna
I've driven passed Nußwaldgasse, a quiet side road in Döbling (Vienna's 19th District), so many times without realising that only a few 100 metres away stands a gem of a building. When I first saw Nußwaldgasse 14 I immediately wonder about its original purpose. Even in my wildest imagination I would never have guess that someone would employ such a beautiful and interesting design to house a factory making insecticide.
Die Zacherlfabrik (Zacherl factory) produced insect powder from pyrethrum imported from Tbilisi in Georgia. The original factory was established in 1873 and the building was re-built between 1882 and 1892. This Wikipedia entry describes the building as a rare example of 'commercially motivated oriental historicism in European architecture'.
Today the building use includes providing a venue for concerts and art exhibitions.

The four riders wonderfully brought Roman Cavalry history to life, providing the crowd with an excellent display during the recent Roman Fest at Carnuntum Archaeological Park.
Carnuntum which is situated next to the Danube River, about 30mins drive from central Vienna, was a Roman Provincial Capital and today visitors can experience the feel of Roman life by spending time exploring a set of wonderfully reconstructed buildings. Images of the site on a normal visitor day can be seen here and here.
A few images from the Cavalry display:
Carnuntum Roman Fest – Part 1
It's not every day that you learn how to take an arrow head out of someone's skull, sit in a Roman Villa with soldiers and citizens milling about, or find out about the latest cosmetics and fashions in (Ancient) Rome.
Carnuntum Archaeological Park is always worth a visit but yesterday was somewhat different as my family joined hundreds of other visitors attending the Roman Fest. Carnuntum which is situated next to the Danube River, about 30mins drive from central Vienna, was a Roman Provincial Capital and today visitors can experience the feel of Roman life by spending time exploring a set of wonderfully reconstructed buildings. Images of the site on a normal visitor day can be seen here and here.
My daughter is a bit of a history fanatic, something I'd like to claim comes from me but in reality it's more a result to exposure to places like Carnuntum where you can touch and feel the past, alongside watching and reading everything connected to Terry Deary's Horrible Histories. So for her history is something real, alive, accurate, and fun. As for me, my interested in history unfortunately makes me one of those sad people who mumbles loudly in cinema's at 'historical movies' or around tour guides whose historical presentations are full of inaccuracies. My daughter and I are therefore a rather tough audience to impress and it was, I suspected, something of a relief to my wife that the Roman Fest lived up to the high expectations we have of the Carnuntum site.
A few images of the day:
Tools of the trade for a Roman Physician…..
Luckily the Romans had a good command of German as I don't think most of us could manage the Latin…..
All the instruments where made by the Physician himself and based upon original Roman descriptions. His talk enthralled H, especially the bits about cutting open the skull…..
The main Villa was full of visitors listen to the talk by the Physician or exploring the building, but also some of the City's military……
Outside the main Villa near the shops order was being maintained by the local auxiliary…..
I wonder if this chap was in need of the Physician or had already been to see him?……………..
I was outvoted as we passed this cosmetics stall on the main street and some time was spent chatting about (and buying) some Roman creams etc……
As the discussion of perfumes and creams continued, I was distracted by the public announcements on the new status of the Sect known as the Christians……..
Not to be distracted by this talk of the Christians, I wandered further down the road to watch the priest perform a more traditional ceremony……
The Roman Fest had plenty for the kids to get their hands dirty and minds active. From designing mosaics…….
….or ceramic painting……
While other children painted shields and swords, H decided to practice her catapult (sling shot) skills….
Then on to exercising the brain with a Roman board game…..
While wandering around you had to keep an eye out for the traffic……
…..but wandering was the thing to do as there were so many sights to see, people to talk to and things to do. Other distractions meant that we missed the wedding but I did get some shots of the wedding party preparing……
In addition to the slaves, there were some free Celts at the festival and H had her name translated……
Finally, visiting military units were encamped around the edge of the site and here are a selection of images from the camps…..

Both games will be battled out in Burlington's "Pit".
Currently 1-0 in their Union Pacific league, the Cougars must regain composure on the floor to score a W in Friday's important conference contest against the 3-6 Pirates.
"We still have opportunities ahead of us when we resume league play with Genoa-Hugo Friday night and then again in a non-league rivalry game with Goodland Saturday," declared head coach Jake Trahern.
"I would like to see a better sense of urgency from our team," remarked the coach. "Knowing the season is wrapping up, we must start playing with maximum effort immediately if we want a favorable ending to our regular season and a good start to post season."

Facebook launched on February 4th 2004, and it has quickly made its way up to become the second most popular website in the world, based on Alexa data. With well over a billion monthly active users behind them, it's fairly safe to assume Facebook is here to stay. The team behind Facebook has pushed out some really cool ways in which you can customize your profile, and one of the biggest of these is the cover photo that takes center stage when you launch a profile.
With the ability to add your own cover photos on your Facebook profile, a lot of creative and talented folks started to use this space in interesting ways. With so many users on Facebook, marketers quickly realized the importance of having a brand presence on this social network (pun intended), and started pushing out some really cool creatives as their cover photos.
As a Facebook user, I have come across these over time, and some of them have left a lasting impression on me. So today I will attempt to run you through some creative cover photos I've seen over the years. If I missed out on some cool ones, please do let me know via the comments.
Creative Facebook Cover Photos
Antonio Fadda This is one of my favorites, and gets listed in almost every list of cool Facebook cover pics. Here a guy holds out his passport, and the profile pic is a shot of what it looks like on the passport. It's one of those things I want to try, and I will get to it one of these days. Just a quick tip if you do want to try it: Make sure no sensitive information is showing up on the picture.
Saint Clair Family Estate This family-owned winery uses the label on their wine bottle in a very creative way on Facebook.
Jérôme Vadon You've got to love the way in which the profile pic and the cover pic works on this profile.
Thinkology This is not something that everyone can pull off, but if your brand logo consists of a single letter, then this is great way to use the cover photo.
Graziano Vincini – This Fururama Heads in Jars inspired cover pic is pure awesomesauce.
Awesome Profile Pic + Cover Photo Combo
People change their Facebook cover pics all the time, so don't expect the linked profiles to look like the images in this post. Most of these are archived pictures—if you go over the cover pic history on some of these profiles you can still see the old pictures in there.

Spanish Snowball Tag
Research shows that information must be meaningful and repetitive to move into long term memory (a fun activity helps our brains pay attention too). At the elementary level we play a lot of games, because they are a great way to move information taught into long term memory. The game below is one great example.
In this game is one kid is it. They have snowballs (bought them on Amazon). The person that is it freezes students by hitting them with snowballs (I've "tested" them at home, you can throw them hard and it doesn't hurt). The student that is hit yells out a phrase for a friend to free them, the friend usually has to say something and they respond as well. For example, I am trying to get my elementary students to say please and thank you. So the frozen person yells "por favor", friend grabs their hand, they have to say "gracias" and friend say "de nada" before going free. Every so often I blow my whistle and the kids lay down and breath in an x shape and I pick a new "monstuo de nieve." You could sub any vocab.
The vocab reviewed (includibg directions) will is:
4, square, congela, amigo, grita, por favor, gracias, de nada, x, escucha, descansa, juega, rápido, triste, feliz, and enojado.

Release Date: 10/01/2012According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity is now a common condition that affects up to one in four pregnant women. Research has shown that obesity during pregnancy is associated with a significantly increased risk of maternal and fetal complications, resulting in a greater use of inpatient and outpatient health care services, increased length of hospital stays for delivery, greater use of physician services, and decreased use of services by nurse practitioners and physician assistants during prenatal visits.
Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island now offers an Obesity in Pregnancy Clinic as part of the hospital's Integrated Program for High-Risk Pregnancy. A collaboration between the divisions of Maternal-Fetal Medicine and Obstetric and Consultative Medicine, the multidisciplinary team also includes an exercise physiologist and a nutritionist who will be present at all clinic sessions. A behavioral psychologist, bariatric surgeon and anesthesiologist will also be joining this clinical service over the next year.
"Obesity during pregnancy can lead to multiple complications for the mom, including hemorrhage, thromboembolism, infection, type 2 diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension or preeclampsia, and need for emergent cesarean delivery," said Katharine D. Wenstrom, co-director of the Obesity in Pregnancy Clinic and director of the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine."The fetuses of obese mothers are at increased risk of intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD), stillbirth, or early neonatal death; fetal anomalies; fetal intolerance of labor; preterm birth; macrosomia and shoulder dystocia; and meconium aspiration syndrome."
Kenneth K. Chen, MD, co-director of the Obesity in Pregnancy Clinic and director of the Division of Obstetric and Consultative Medicine, explained, "It's vital that these women and their babies receive the proper care to ensure a safe outcome for all. Through our clinic, we will provide pre-conception counseling and active intervention for obese women who wish to lose weight before they conceive. For women who are already pregnant, we will work with their own obstetric provider for either a one-time consultation or co-management of the patient throughout her pregnancy, or, if specifically requested by the provider, transition of the patient's care to the Integrated Program for High-Risk Pregnancy."
The Clinic will offer appointments at Women & Infants' Center for Women's Medicine, 100 Dudley Street, 3rd Floor, Providence. Referrals and appointments may be made by calling (401) 453-7545 or (401) 453-7950.

The Bianconeri maintained the heat on leaders Milan after a purposeful second half display drove them to victory over rivals Inter. Goals from Caceres and Del Piero proved enough to seal all three points from a feisty encounter played out in front of a red-hot atmosphere at Juventus Stadium. For the Derby d'Italia, Conte elected to replace the suspended Lichtsteiner with January arrival Caceres. Barzagli returned from an extended period on the sidelines and Matri was chosen to spearhead the Bianconeri strikeforce. Chiellini and Pepe both made their 200th appearances in Serie A. Juventus were soon into their stride and looked to pose Inter instant problems with their bold, attacking mentality.
They could have grabbed the lead inside the opening three minutes when Vidal unlocked the Nerazzurri rearguard with an energetic burst from deep. The Chilean, however, was unable to connect with Pepe's return pass and the visitors survived the initial danger. While the Bianconeri looked bright and lively going forward, they had to remain alert to Ranieri's counter-attacking tactics. Warning of this came when Maicon fed Milito on seventeen minutes. Inter's top scorer gained a sight of goal but steered his low attempt straight at Buffon. Yet the hosts almost went in front minutes later.
Caceres, who remained a continual threat with his boundless energy down the flank, floated in inviting cross for Matri. The striker steered a header towards goal but directed his effort straight at Julio Cesar. Back came Inter, laying siege on Buffon's goal and forcing the Azzurri number one into saves from Forlan, Milito, Obi and Stankovic over a frantic ten minute period. Conte waited until five minutes into the second half to change both system and personnel.
The introductions of Bonucci and Del Piero at the expense of Pepe and Matri saw the side revert back to a 3-5-2 formation championed earlier in the season. And the manager's tactical tweaks paid instant dividends as the Bianconeri capitalised on their numerical supremacy in midfield to gain full control of the game. Marchisio led the charge from deep and was unlucky to see Julio Cesar tip his dipping 25-yard strike over the crossbar. Yet the exploits of the 'Little Prince' were about to be fully rewarded.
The resulting corner saw Pirlo pick out an unmarked Caceres, leaving the Uruguayan with the simple task of steering a header past Julio Cesar to continue his rich vein of goalscoring form against the Milan sides. Having established the lead, Juventus showed no mercy and looked to inflict more damage on their wounded visitors. Vucinic, played through by Del Piero, then scampered in on goal but struck his effort straight at Julio Cesar.
The Montenegrin, however, was not made to rue his miss for long as Del Piero burst onto Vidal's delicate through ball two minutes later. The captain kept his cool to slot past Julio Cesar and send Juventus Stadium into controlled pandemonium. And it could have been even more as the Bianconeri kept their foot firmly on the pedal in the closing stages.
Chiellini found himself one-on-one with Julio Cesar and unselfishly squared for Quagliarella, who saw his tap-in blocked by a sensational goal-line clearance from Maicon. The result sees Juventus complete the double over their rivals and sends out a clear message to Milan regarding the title credentials possessed by Conte's men.

Facebook connect is the easiest way to logon to a website and he just announced that developers will have access to Facebook's users' email now. I believe this is one less reason not to use it and 350 million users is an impressive number. Facebook connect is not only a sign-on method for websites but is also on many devices like the iPhone and the Xbox. It doesn't look good for OpenID and other single sign-on methods.

Contemporary witness platforms
Preserving living memories
Contemporary witness platforms play a key role in the German culture of remembrance by making the personal accounts of those who were displaced, oppressed or deprived of their freedom freely accessible to the public, ensuring that future generations keep learning from the past.
Sigrid Otto enjoyed living in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Born in 1925 in Middle Saxony, she studied to be a teacher and worked as deputy headmistress at a primary school in Lunzenau from 1949 to 1952. Despite the "huge disparities between East and West," Sigrid Otto was never particularly interested in the West. "I was perfectly happy and fulfilled with my life and my work." She would have stayed on indefinitely too, if a member of the Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschland (Socialist Unity Party of Germany, SED) had not been appointed new headmaster. Sudden military reforms followed, such as pre-military training in the form of "shooting circles" initiated by the Freie Deutsche Jugend (the Free German Youth, FDJ), a communist youth organization. During the 1951/52 school year, Sigrid Otto and her fellow educators were asked to sign a pledge to "take up weapons if necessary to defend the GDR's achievements against West Germany." She and a few others refused. Sigrid was soon informed that her contract at the school would not be renewed at the end of the year.
LeMo – Lebendiges Museum online
"I immediately began planning my escape to West Germany," Sigrid Otto writes in one of the five reports she submitted to the Lebendiges Museum Online (Living Online Museum, LeMo). The Deutsche Historische Museum (German Historical Museum) and the Stiftung Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (House of History of the Federal Republic of Germany Foundation) set up the digital platform to document 19th and 20th century German history and make it widely accessible. It deals with a range of eras, starting with the German Empire and moving through the two world wars and divided Germany into the age of globalisation. Contemporary witnesses can contact the museum and come in to record their histories, or submit documents such as letters or diary entries. The texts are edited for the platform and published online with additional sources, such as pictures and historical background information.
Ruth Rosenberger is head of Digital Services at the Stiftung Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. "We are involved with a number of contemporary witness projects on different eras," she explains. Her role is to "provide service and coordinate preserving, collecting and indexing all the contemporary witness holdings of institutions funded by the federal government." A central documentation database at www.zeitzeugen-portal.de houses a collection of video interviews with contemporary witnesses that have been online since July 2017. It complies and archives the holdings of several state-sponsored institutions. Around 8,000 individual clips from roughly 1,000 interviews on German history have already been processed and added. The platform also contains material from the ZDF (Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen, a public television broadcaster) archives, which include interviews with important historical figures. In future, the Foundation's eyewitness interviews will also be published on www.zeitzeugen-portal.de. "The Stiftung Haus der Geschichte has been conducting interviews with contemporary witnesses for many years now," says Ruth Rosenberger. "We use them in our exhibitions, since contemporary witnesses really make history compelling and relatable." The process preserves "the individual experience as a historical source." By now the contemporary witness collection includes more than 100 interviews.
Radio broadcaster setting history to music
Historical museums and foundations are not the only ones working to record living history. Public radio broadcaster Bayerische Rundfunk (Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation) has released a radio documentary series that keeps the memory of suffering and repression alive. www.die-quellen-sprechen.de and Bayern 2 radio station has given victims of National Socialism a voice. In podcast interviews broadcast over the radio and accessible online, Jews movingly describe living through the Nazi era. In cooperation with the Institut für Zeitgeschichte (Institute for Contemporary History), a total of 16 parts addressing different themes will be released from 2013 to 2019.
The Stiftung Erinnerung Verantwortung Zukunft (Remembrance, Responsibility and Future Foundation, EVZ) is expanding its efforts beyond the limits of digital documentation, and creating "gestures of reconciliation" primarily through encounters between young people and survivors of the Nazi era. The Foundation reports that as Germany's only nationwide support programme for such encounters, it organized a total of 59 meetings with 176 eyewitnesses in 2016.
Sigrid Otto escaped to the West in 1952. With assistance from the church, she first fled to the Zehlendorf areas of Berlin, and then lived in refugee camp in Hamburg before moving in with her father's eldest sister. She was lucky to have this fresh start at freedom. Not every person trying to escape from the GDR enjoyed the same good fortune back then.

Similar to the galaxy nails and the graffiti nails I've done previously, I tried out something new with pastel colours! I also decided to add some silver lines on top, because I just felt like it needed more. I love them but they're just not as good as the galaxy nails, I think I'll have to do them again soon.
I also made the foolish mistake of doing this at half ten, now I'm still up waiting for them to dry :| (it's 12.15am) Hope you're having a good Monday!

Denver wedding photographer Joni Schrantz? Portland's loss is Denver's gain- Joni is on the move. We got the chance to hang out a little with Joni the other day between cleaning and packing her old place. Since I hadn't taken had the opportunity to take any photos of her prior to the move, I dragged her kicking and screaming over to a little spot in near our place for a quick portrait session. I might have had a little longer with her but it was getting rainy and cold so we cut it short. Despite the short time I got a few shots of her a really like. Good luck with your move to Colorado Joni!

Who wants their smartphone screen on just one side when they can have it on both? A new Apple patent application published today by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office details a device that ditches a flat design and instead goes for a flexible, wraparound AMOLED display. This could have huge implications for future iPhones.
Instead of sharp edges, the curved, wraparound design would allow for a wider selection of items on display, so users could hypothetically view 10 apps on their screen instead of, say, 5, and view photos, videos and text on their screen from all 360 degrees around. Plus, going for a wraparound display would abandon physical buttons, so users would be fully reliant on touch gestures to use their device.
MORE: Top 6 iPhone 5S Rumors
The patent also points out a way to include two flexible displays, one laying on top of the other. Although content on both displays would be the same, it would look a bit different and look almost 3D. "An illusion of depth perception can be presented mimicking a 3D experience," the patent reads. This could also be used with a heads-up display, basically building a second screen into one device. The patent also mentions built-in facial recognition.
Apple has applied for patents regarding flexibility before, such as the "Electronic Devices With Flexible Displays" patent last year. Other device makers have this same concept on their minds, too, such as Samsung. Rumor has it that the Galaxy Note 3 will have the world's first "unbreakable" flexible display, but that's just for the front of a device.
If Apple actually executes something like this, it will definitely change the way we use smartphones, though we suspect case makers wouldn't be too happy.

Manifest Destiny #25
Publisher: Image Comics
Writer: Chris Dingess
Pencils: Matthew Roberts
Inks: Tony Akins and Stefano Gaudiano
Colours: Owen Gieni
Lettering: Pat Brosseau
Manifest Destiny reaches issue #25, and celebrates the milestone with a pretty spectacular cover featuring (almost) all the monsters encountered by the expedition until now. Does this have something to do with the story in this book, though? Let's find out.
In issue #24 that concluded the story arc entitled Sasquatch (despite the fact that the presence of the sasquatch was not really central to the plot after all), we understood why the Teton natives seemed quite wary of the men in the Lewis and Clark expedition: three years earlier, they had welcomed in their tribe Captain Helm, the last survivor of another expedition. But Helm was possessed by a spirit that, after some time, pushed him to attack the natives and flee. We also find out why, really, Clark accepted to led the Corps of Discovery: the President had personally invited him to meet Helm himself, kept captive as he became a danger to himself and to others. Clark also saw a sasquatch skull, although he thought it had belonged to a native with a severe birth defect.
Issue #25 opens with the men working hard to complete the fort they will spend the winter in. Lewis goes back to his studies, while the soldiers start having a pretty regular routine. Everything seems fine. If we learnt anything from past issues of Manifest Destiny, however, is that something freaky is always on its way…
Additionally, to celebrate the milestone reached, at the end of the issue there is a short but very nice bonus story, a flashback on Sacagawea's formative years that explains a lot about her character.
Manifest Destiny is a very interesting story, seamlessly mixing history and fantasy, the expedition's issues with the natives and their scary encounters with the various monsters.
The art is always extremely interesting, well supported by a clever choice of colours that makes this issue, in which many scenes happen in the thick fog, stand out.
It's admirable how, after 25 issues, writer and series creator Chris Dingess still manages to find something original to threaten his characters with. This time, it's… different. And different is good!
This issue, then, could be a pretty good one to start reading the series. Everything seems quiet and nice, as if everything was finally going right for the expedition… the perfect moment to spring another surprise.

Download: Windows XP PowerPacker v1.0 RC17
Ok folks...
RC17 Final Released on Mar 27, 2012.
1. Fixed a few UI problems and the use of winnt.sif during compact packing when the source is readonly. Before, if your source was read-only, winnt.sif usage was not correctly implemented, causing no winnt.sif settings to take effect.
RC16 Final Released on Feb 24, 2012.
1. Fixed compact ISO packing.
2. Fixed USB normal Packing prompt if destination directory already exists (offers to delete or cancel pack).
3. Fixed progress bar of ISO creation.
RC15 Final Released on Jan 20, 2012.
1. Changed to WinSetupFromUSB v1.07beta USB Format style allowing Unattended section in Winnt.sif and almost identical layout whether USB key or USB hard drive. As before, the persistent difference is the migrate.inf file.
2. Added a utility that is installed to root of USB Drive to regenerate all the migrate.inf files so that if you copy to another USB drive, you can run the utility (RemakeMigrateInf.exe) and the packs will work (it adapts all subdirectories in root containing I386 subdirectories).
3. Normalized default menu changing in USB Packing
4. Extra BootEntries now works on USB, allowing the use of multiple winnt.sif files for the same pack. Handy for different parameters or one pack with OEMAutoScan and the other without, one automated, the other not at all, one with a host name and another with a different host name, etc.
5. Fixed packing of XP MCE with XP Pro. They can now be packed in the same directory thanks to Siginet.
6. Adjusted Driverpacks integration to work under new the new USB Packing method (whether integrated previously or inside PowerPacker).
7. Packing Driverpacks on a USB key did not work well. Now it does.
8. During ISO packing, if winnt.sif is both in I386 directory and in the directory specified in the interface (winnt.sif directory), priority is accorded to the directory specified in the interface.
9. Run a file upon completion ability added to USB Packing mode as well as extra root and extra pack files.
RC14 Final Download RC14
- when driverpacks are previously integrated outside powerpacker, usb packing had trouble dealing with that because of the preexistence of presetup.cmd. Fixed.
- During Compact packing, SvcPack.Inf is now also treated appropriately if it is not identical to the other versions in other packs. It is now moved to its differentiating directory (\i386\conv\????).
- Various interface fixes when loading ini files from within the gui
- boot directory is now generated only once during usb packing if driverpacks are used. It is also now only generated at the end, like it is already the case with iso packing. The reason it was changed is because otherwise some older drivers ended up being used for mass storage.
- added summary of errors at end of log file during compact packing
RC13 Final Download RC13
Bug fix: when packing from a CD or CD image, read-only attribute not removed from dosnet.inf causing an infinite loop in iso compact packing.
RC12 Final
1. Added the capacity to pack files to usb thumb drive and hard drive using code from WinSetupFromUSB. Thanks go to Ilko for permission to reuse his code.
2. Added the capacity to pack installations in the same directory. This compact packing means that if a file is already present in the powerpacker destination directory, there will only be one copy of it. For example, let's say you are packing XP Pro Corporate, Retail and OEM edition. In reality, almost all the files from these editions are identical. Compact packing takes advantage of this fact by putting all the files in the same directory, except the ones that are different. The different files are relocated elsewhere and txtsetup.sif is adjusted accordingly. This feature works for ISO Packing and USB Packing. This feature is the most interesting for USB Packing since it means you can pack more installations onto your thumb drive.
3. Added Tablet version among the possibilities of the Xp version. The menus are created accordingly.
RC11 Final Download RC11
- fixed packing of an XP source which does not contain any OEM directory
RC10 Final
1. Removed date time stamp change of files during cd iso creation (which made windows update continually want to install KB955759).
2. Fixed it so that if dosnet.inf floppyfiles section contains quotes, a pack still succeeds.
3. Updated various information and web site references
RC9 Final Download RC9
1. Added support for Media Center.
2. Added OS Detection which will automatically select some of the options for you.
3. Made the Advanced Option "Create Extra Boot Options" more user friendly. It also will show the text of what you would see in the boot menu.
4. You can now use **** as your Boot folder name to make powerpacker automatically use the current Boot Folder for multiple winnt.sif files.
5. Various bug fixes.
6. Added links to the new "Official Windows XP PowerPacker Website". (Online manual to be added to soon.)
RC8 Final:
1. Fixed a bug where the IDENT files were not created in the unattended pack of the Tri-Pack option.
2. Fixed other small bugs.
3. ReCompiled the old help file into the program so people can at least learn the basics until I get time to create a new help file. This help file is outdated and there have been some major changes since this help file was created... but it should help give you an understanding of what to do.
1. Added new option in Advanced tab for allowing multiple winnt.sif files. Very cool new feature! Just select a 4 character name, a winnt.sif file and something to add to the boot screen. (PowerPacker auto recognises the type of OS you are using.)
2. Custom pack name option now allows you to add an entry into the boot screen.
3. Fixed bug where the tmp folder was left behind when using the DriverPacks. Now the driverpacks settings file is copied to the %temp% directory and deleted after it is finished.
1. Added support for the new DriverPacks Base.
*Note... in order for the DP to work you must first install the new DP_Base.exe and create a mysettings.ini file through the DP Base. Once you have made your settings file you just select that settings file in the DP section of PowerPacker.
Also a major change you will quickly notice is the new "Advanced" tab. A new advanced feature is the "Run file upon completion" area. This feature is allready built into the RVMIntegrator and now is available in PowerPacker as well. It is very usefult to chain link multiple packaging processes of powerpacker together... or even chain linking powerpacker and the RVMIntegrator together. It is made to help simplify the unattended disc creation. Once you have all of your settings files made for all of the programs... you just start the process and the rest is unattended.
There will be more "Advanced" features added... but this new beta should hold you guys/gals for a bit before Beta5.
Please report any bugs you may find.
Download and Rate Windows XP PowerPacker @ BetaNews.com
Here is how to use the DriverPacks:
Download the DP Base.
Install the DriverPack Base. Then run DP_BASE.exe.
Choose all of your settings then choose to "Export Settings".
This will create a mysettings.ini file in the same directory as the DP_Base.exe file.
Use that mysettings.ini in powerpacker.

Binge watching just got riskier!
Binge watching just got riskier!
by Nancy Kislin, LCSW, MFT, Parent Educator
All these years later – just listening to the sound of the actress' voice as she states that she can't eat – it hit a nerve in me that I thought had died years ago.
I just finished watching the trailer for "To the Bone," Netflix's new movie that premieres July 14 and portrays a teenage girl's battle with anorexia. I shed tears - old tears mixed with tears for the young women I currently help through this journey of hell called an eating disorder...
I survived that journey – Most of it alone except for an amazing therapist. But it was the darkest period of my life, the part I kept securely hidden from family and friends.
I struggled alone, searching to find control in a world that my young mind didn't know couldn't be controlled. Disorders like this take hold of you, and it's nearly impossible to separate yourself from it. I was one of the lucky ones. I survived and went on to have a healthy and productive life.
The scars, they are there. They never fully go away. They keep me hyper-alert for signs of eating disorders or other self-harming behavior when I am working with children and teens. I see and hear the undercurrent of anxiety that feeds the fierce desperation to find a way to have control in their lives. It is through my lens as a survivor and a veteran therapist that I ask,
"Why, Netflix, do you feel it's significant to release 'To the Bone'?"
I am sure many will be disturbed by the series. Let's be honest, eating disorders are upsetting, disturbing and more people die from it then any other mental illness.
An eating disorder series released right in the middle of bikini season...
After the last disastrous release of "13 Reasons Why," – Just yesterday, I got a new client who was triggered to almost commit suicide from this show - Really! -- I thought I better check out "To The Bone."
Can you hear my screams of "NOOOOOO!" followed by "Why?!"? Why is this series necessary??
Like "13 Reasons Why," is just another gateway to harmful behavior?
If your kids want to watch this series, answer the following questions:
- Does your child have a history of depression, anxiety, addictive behaviors, eating disorder, suicide etc.?
- Are they over the age of 16 (and that age is me being generous)?
- Why does your child want to watch it in the first place?
- We don't need to see this series, we already know what the story is going to reveal.
Regardless of their answers, do not let them watch it alone. Watch the trailer together, and let that start a conversation about eating disorders, what they know about them and if they know anyone who struggles like the main character.
When the show does premiere on the July 14, watch an episode with them. Then decide - as the parent - if it's appropriate for your child to see.
Netflix please STOP glamorizing self harming behavior. There is nothing sexy about starving yourself to death.

Apple guava (Psidium guajava)
|Scientific classification
About 100, see text.
Guava is the common name for any of the various tropical shrubs and small trees comprising the New World genus Psidium of the myrtle family (Myrtaceae), characterized by tough, dark, opposite leaves and an edible fruit. The term guava also is used for the fruit, which is a true berry.
The name guava particularly is associated with the commercially important common or apple guava, Psidium guajava, which is grown for its sweet, juicy fruit. The cattley guava, Psidium littorale (syn. P. cattleianum) is another well-known species, with two notable varieties: the red-fruited strawberry guava, and the yellow-fruited lemon guava.
There are about 100 species of guava, with the plants native to Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and northern South America, but now cultivated in the parts of the United States and other tropical areas. The name is drawn from the Arawak via Spanish guayaba.
The guava fruit, which is so important for the reproduction of the plants, also serves as a nutritious and flavorful food for people as well as for various birds and mammals (who also act as dispersal agents for the seeds). In folk medicine, guava leaves have been used for treating ailments ranging from cancer to inflammation and diabetes. The plant itself is used for ornamental purposes.
Guava is in the Myrtaceae or myrtle family, a taxon of dicotyledon plants that includes such well-known representatives as myrtle, cloves, feijoa, allspice, and eucalyptus. All species of the family are woody, with essential oils, and have flower parts in multiples of four or five. The flowers have a base number of five petals, though in several genera the petals are minute or absent. The stamens are usually very conspicuous, brightly colored and numerous. The leaves are evergreen, alternate to mostly opposite, simple, and usually with an entire (not toothed) margin. One notable character of the family is that the phloem is located on both sides of the xylem, not just outside as in most other plants.
Within the myrtle family, guavas are placed in the subfamily Myrtoideae. This subfamily is characterized by fleshy fruits and opposite, entire leaves. Most genera in this subfamily have one of three easily recognized types of embryos. The genera of Myrtoideae can be very difficult to distinguish in the absence of mature fruits.
Members of the genus Psidium, the guavas, are typical Myrtoideae, with tough dark leaves that are opposite, simple, elliptic to ovate, and 5-15 centimeters long. The flowers are white, with five petals and numerous stamens. Members of the genera Accara and Feijoa (= Acca, pineapple guava) were formerly included in this genus as well.
The guava fruit is a true berry. In botany, a berry is a fleshy or pulpy indehiscent fruit in which the entire ovary wall ripens into a relatively soft pericarp, the seeds are embedded in the common flesh of the ovary, and typically there is more than one seed. Other examples of botanical berries include the tomato, grape, avocado, and persimmon.
The guava fruit is edible, round to pear-shaped, from 3 to 10 centimeters (cm) in diameter (up to 12 cm in some selected cultivars). It has a thin delicate rind, pale green to yellow at maturity in some species, pink to red in others, a creamy white or orange-salmon flesh with many small hard seeds, and a strong, characteristic aroma. The aroma generally is reminiscent of refreshing fruit like apples, passionfruit or strawberries, with an inoffensive acidity and a fragrance reminiscent of rose petals.
Guavas are cultivated in many tropical and subtropical countries for their edible fruit. Several species are grown commercially. Apple guava (P. guajava) and its cultivars are those most commonly traded internationally. Cattley guava or Peruvian guava (Psidium littorale; the old name P. cattleianum is still used very often) is a small tree (2-6 meters tall), bearing small red or yellow fruit, which are somewhat sour but sometimes eaten or made into jam. The red-fruited strawberry guava is Psidium littorale var. cattleianum. The yellow-fruited Psidium littorale var. littorale is known as lemon Guava, and in Hawaiʻi as waiawī. It is native to Brazil and adjacent regions of tropical South America.
Mature trees of most guava species are fairly cold-hardy and can survive as low as 5°C for short periods of time, but younger plants will not survive. They are known to survive in Northern Pakistan where they can get down to 5°C or lower during the night. Guavas are also of interest to home growers in temperate areas, being one of the very few tropical fruits that can be grown to fruiting size in pots indoors.
The fruit is relished by many mammals and birds. The spread of introduced guavas owes much to this fact, as animals will eat the fruit and disperse the seeds in their droppings. Psidium species are used as food plants by the caterpillars of some Lepidoptera, mainly moths like the Ello Sphinx (Erinnyis ello), Eupseudosoma aberrans, Snowy Eupseudosoma (E. involutum) and Hypercompe icasia. Mites like Pronematus pruni and Tydeus munsteri are known to parasitize Apple Guava (P. guabaya) and perhaps other species. The bacterium Erwinia psidii causes rot diseases of the Apple Guava.
In several tropical regions, including Hawaiʻi, some species (namely cattley guava, P. littorale) have become invasive weed shrubs. On the other hand, several species have become very rare and at least one species, Jamaican guava (P. dumetorum), is considered to have recently gone extinct.
Guava is used for culinary and ornamental purposes. With a history in folk medicine, it also is the subject of research for medicinal purposes.
Guavas may be eaten raw or used in jams, jellies, juices, preserves, and sauces (Herbst 2001).
The whole fruit is edible, from seeds to rind, but many people choose to cut out the middle that contains hard seeds embedded in the surrounding pulp. The pulp is sweetest and most delicious in the center, with the outer layer being sour and gritty like young pears, while the peel (fruit) is sour in taste but richest in phytochemicals. The peel usually is discarded but can be eaten as an enriched source of essential nutrients and polyphenols (Jiménez-Escrig et al. 2001).
The fruit is also often prepared as a dessert. In Asia, fresh raw guava is often dipped in preserved prune powder or salt, and a tea is made from guava fruits and leaves. In Egypt and South Africa, guava juice is popular. Red guavas can be used as the base of salted products such as sauces, constituting a substitute for tomatoes, especially for those sensitive to the latter's acidity.
Guava wood is used for meat smoking in Hawaii and may be used to barbecue.
Guavas are often considered superfruits, being rich in vitamins A and C, omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and especially high levels of dietary fiber. Containing about half the amount (37 mg per 100 g) of vitamin C as a raw orange, a single strawberry guava also has good levels of the dietary minerals, potassium, and magnesium, and otherwise a broad, low-calorie profile of essential nutrients (ND 2008a). Common guava has generally a more diverse and dense nutrient content, including extraordinary richness of vitamin C (228 mg per 100 g) (ND 2008b).
Guavas contain both major classes of antioxidant pigments—carotenoids and polyphenols—giving them relatively high dietary antioxidant value among plant foods (Mahattanatawee et al. 2006; Hassimotto et al. 2005; Jiménez-Escrig et al. 2001).
Since the 1950s, guava, particularly its leaves, has been the subject of diverse research initiatives to map the chemical identity of its constituents, pharmacological properties, and history in folk medicine (Gutiérrez et al. 2008). From preliminary medical research in laboratory settings, extracts from guava leaves or bark are implicated in possible therapeutic mechanisms against cancer, bacterial infections, inflammation, and pain (Chen et al. 2007: Mahfuzul et al. 2007; Ojewole 2006). Essential oils from guava leaves have shown strong anti-cancer activity in vitro (Manosroi et al. 2006).
Guava leaves are used as a remedy for diarrhea (Kaljee et al. 2004), and for their supposed antimicrobial properties. The same anti-diarrheal substances useful in folk medicine may also cause constipation when large amounts of guava fruits are consumed. Guava leaves or bark have been used traditionally to treat diabetes (Mukhtar et al. 2006; Oh et al. 2005).

When you think of pizza, you picture family dinners, sporting events, and birthday parties. But have you ever stopped to consider the chain of events from ordering your double anchovies and olives to it arriving on your doorstep?
That's exactly what the General Managers who power Papa John's 5,000+ restaurants dwell on. Their days are long, stressful, and chaotic, especially when it comes to staffing. During more days than not, a GM's restaurant, unexpectedly, won't have the headcount it needs to run. That means the GM is pulled away from their core responsibilities and the restaurant suffers.
Papa John's was well aware of this growing problem they had within their restaurants. They also recognized their traditional methods for solving business challenges needed change.
Facing new competition and applications of technology, their leadership team started looking for better tools to consistently generate new innovations.
They had spent the past year experimenting with various innovation frameworks, like design thinking and design sprints. Along that journey, their team members started following our work, stories, and advice.
When the opportunity presented itself, they wasted no time bringing us. The value in the engagement would be two-fold: identify viable solutions to their top business challenges through hands-on product strategy, and then train them to integrate our methods.
Like any other $1.8B, 20,000 person international organization, there's never just 1 thing to work on. And even when you decide to work on 1 thing, you need 10 other people who are busy on 20 other things. Feeling stuck is typical.
One of the major draws to the process we use is the speed at which we move. Speed provides us freedom to be wrong, so that we can quickly learn, shift, and be more right.
Within the course of a single business day, we helped a cross-functional team of 14 leaders within Papa John's discover, prioritize, and map out their single most important business opportunity — improving the productivity and output of GMs by providing them tools to manage their delivery staff.
In order to keep momentum flying forward, within days of identifying their driver staffing opportunity, we organized our upgraded version of Google's design sprint framework.
Within 4 days we ideated 11 competing solutions, turned the most compelling solution into a hi-fidelity prototype, and tested it on actual GMs.
With the help of our expert product strategy and process guidance, the Papa John's team received feedback and results with their prototype that typically doesn't occur until 3 or 4 cycles of prototyping. 1 GM reacted by saying, "Man, this is amazing! Please tell me you're gonna make this available to us!"
The rapid success of our Product Sprint Program saved Papa John's tens of thousands of dollars and weeks of time.

The Best way to run Peachtree
With Peachtree coming up real soon, here is my 2 cents as to the best approach to running the course.
The course is a net downhill but it certainly doesn't seem like it. The race for most really starts just past Peachtree Battle at the start of Cardiac Hill around the 3 mile mark.
Mile 1
You should get out slightly aggressive so as to not get trampled to death. After the first ¼ mile you should settle into a decent pace. The first mile should be run only slightly faster than goal pace because it is pretty much flat.
Mile 2-3
Most of the next 2 miles are flat or slightly downhill. You should resist the urge to set a 5k PR during the first half of the race. You should be no faster than 10-20 seconds faster than your goal pace at the 3 mile mark.
Mile 3-5
This is roughly when the hills begin, including Cardiac Hill. The hills are a series of "steps" all the way past the High Museum at mile 5. Just realize that after Cardiac Hill you still have 2 more hills before you have flat and down hill. If you have run the first half of the race correctly you should be able to "surge" up this hilly section. Most of the time you simply maintain your pace not actually speed up. This is a good thing, due to the fact that most slow down during the section.
Mile 5-Finish
Around the High Museum is the 5 mile mark. After that hill is crested you basically have flat going all the way to 10th Street. Once you make the left hand turn on to 10th Street, you should resist the urge to sprint your guts out. You still have about 1000 meters to the finish!
After you finish with a new PR…make your way to Phidippides' After Party!

Super advice!!!

Should you aim for negative splits considering the course elevation and weather (heat)?
6/29/2013 03:01:36 pm
I think it is pretty difficult to negative split Peachtree. As you stated the elevation and heat usually slows people down in the second half, even if you run the first half wisely. If you hold back slightly in the first half and you are having a really good day you can pick it up in the second half and run faster but it is a tough task.

Students from all over the world come to Le Cordon Bleu Tokyo with their own unique goals and dreams. Let's take a glimpse into their school life to discover what they've experienced, learned, and struggled with as they work hard towards achieving them.
My dream came true when I opened my own food startup ProntoChef in Brazil, a weekly dinner kit delivery service where clients receive recipes and all ingredients measured and ready for cooking at home.
The reason why I chose Japan is because I believe the Japanese food industry is unique there, especially its culture of elaborate and attentive customer service. However, my Japanese wasn't proficient enough. Le Cordon Bleu Japan was great because they provided classes in English, so I was able study at this famous institution in Japan without any language barriers.
Ask as many questions as you can to the teachers. They have such a wealth of knowledge in their area of expertise, and they are more than happy to explain things to you. I was nervous at first to ask ,but I learned not to be shy. If you are passionate about cooking, Le Cordon Bleu can help you build a foundation that will benefit you in the working world.
Completing the Diploma in Boulangerie course in Le Cordon Bleu and having a book published were two of the key highlights in my life. Follow your heart and devote to work out what you love, I believe these are the keys.
Le Cordon Bleu Japan attracts students from everywhere. It allowed me to interact with people from different nationalities and expanded how I think about cuisine. I was born in the United States, but my mother is French–American and my father is Japanese. Having a tri-cultural background, I believe I really impart that into my cooking. After meeting so many different people at school, my view on cuisine is now so much broader.
I applied to Le Cordon Bleu Japan to pick up the skills necessary to make it as a professional chef. The shared goal of my family and myself is to eventually inherit, operate, and expand the operations of our family restaurant business. Everything I learned at the school, I can apply to the business; they are skills that high level professionals employ.
