The struggle of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Chad's response to the threat posed by Boko Haram
11 Jan 2011 06:39 GMT | Politics, Africa, Bosnia, China, Liberia
The UN Security Council has urged an end to the broadcasting of what it calls "false information" in Cote d'Ivoire, which it says is aimed at inciting ethnic violence. The council's statement, read to reporters by Mirsada Colakovic, Bosnia's deputy UN ambassador, voiced "deep concern over continued violence and human rights violations" in the West African country.
"The members of the Security Council strongly condemned and demanded an immediate halt to the use of media, especially Radiodiffusion-Television Ivoirienne (RTI), to propagate false information to incite hatred and violence, including against the UN," the statement read on Monday.
The United Nations says more than 200 people have been killed in violence since the dispute broke out between Laurent Gbagbo, who has refused to step down as president, and his rival Alassane Ouattara, after a presidential runoff on November 28, which the UN says Ouattara won.
Ethnic violence in Cote d'Ivoire's western town of Duekoue last week killed 33 people and wounded 75, the chief of its main hospital told the Reuters news agency.Mediation continues
The African Union's mediator in the Ivorian crisis, Raila Odinga, the Kenyan prime minister, is expected to fly back to the troubled West African country this week, his spokesman said on Tuesday."The PM has indicated that he will return to Ivory Coast this week. The date of his return will be either Thursday or Friday," Dennis Onyango told the AFP news agency.
"He will first meet and brief Jean Ping, the chairman of the AU Commission, in Nairobi on Wednesday before setting off for the Ivory Coast," the spokesman said.
Odinga's first trip to Abidjan since being appointed as mediator by the continental body ended on January 5 with little tangible progress in resolving the standoff.Meanwhile, Olusegun Obasanjo, former Nigerian leader and mediator, left Cote d'Ivoire early on Monday as the country's incumbent president continued to defy the world and insist he had won the recent election.

Obasanjo, who came unannounced over the weekend, had driven back and forth between the presidency and a hotel across town where the internationally recognised winner Ouattara is barricaded.The purpose of Obasanjo's visit was to deliver the international community's message as forcefully as possible, and to offer Gbagbo an exile abroad and a monthly stipend if he chooses to step down, said an adviser to Ouattara who was briefed on the discussions.The adviser spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. He also said Obasanjo repeated the warning that Gbagbo will face a regional military ouster if he does not cede power. The 15-nation Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has threatened to remove him by force if negotiations fail.ECOWAS has previously mounted armed interventions in Sierra Leone and Liberia, though the move in Cote d'Ivoire is controversial because the nation is a magnet for immigrants from other African countries.Gbagbo's government has insinuated that any armed move will prompt retaliatory attacks againstforeigners living in the country.
Three other high-level delegations, including a mission last week by several African heads of state, have all failed to get Gbagbo to cede power.
The UN Security Council on Monday welcomed plans by the African Union and the West African regional group ECOWAS to send another high-level delegation "as soon as possible'' to try to achieve a peaceful solution to the crisis in Cote d'Ivoire.
Chinese and Russian reluctance
Council diplomats told Reuters that Russia and China were reluctant to have the UN explicitly recognise Ouattara as the country's elected president because they dislike the idea of the Security Council endorsing one candidate over another in a national election.
To secure the support of Moscow and Beijing, diplomats said, the statement quoted a January 4 communique issued jointly by the African Union and regional west African group ECOWAS that referred to Ouattara as Cote d'Ivoire's president.
"In view of the recognition set out in the communique of Alassane Dramane Ouattara as president of Cote d'Ivoire, the members of the Security Council reiterated their call on all Ivorian parties and stakeholders to respect the will of the people and the outcome of the election," the statement said.
Alain Le Roy, UN peacekeeping chief, told the 15-nation council last week that he would ask for up to 2,000 additional peacekeepers to top up the 10,000-strong UN force, known as UNOCI.The statement said the Council "welcomed the submission of the detailed recommendations and proposals" aimed at strengthening the UNOCI.
The long-delayed presidential election was intended to draw a line under years of instability, but instead has widened the divide between the country's north and south.

AA fictionalized indictment of her mother, Nancy Reagan, Patti Davis' A House of Secrets is an afterthought to her first matricidal effort, Home Front, and a prelude to the tell-all autobiography Putnam has paid her a reported half-million dollars to write. Energetically self-serving, the novel chronicles the emotional torture of a young writer, Carla, by her sharp-tongued mother, Rachel. Even with so promising a model as Nancy Reagan to go by, Davis' book never quite becomes the Mommie Dearest she obviously envisioned. No doubt this is because Davis has nothing except mildly tasteless revenge to exact: She condemns the widowed, stroke-afflicted Rachel to a wheelchair, where she spends her golden years dribbling soup on her chin. So much for coming to terms with childhood. D

Pleasing little historical fiction thriller,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Daughter Of Time (Paperback)
This is a nice little book, adequately written and especially interesting if you have an interest in Things Plantagenet, in particular in Richard III. Inspector Grant is laid up in hospital, and stumped for something to do he latches onto a picture of that brief-reigning monarch brought in by a visitor. He then, with help from staff and visitors to the hospital, launches into a police-like investigation of Richard R's life, concluding (as others have done) that he was actually a jolly good chap, and, en route, trashing both Shakespeare's and St Thomas More's accounts of events. The history has been pretty thoroughly researched, but one tires of the repeated, probably anti-Catholic references to "The sainted More". Somebody, possibly an editor, but more likely Ms Tey herself, cannot quite decide whether Richard's mother was named Cicely or Cecily. A little trouble on the part of the author would quickly have established that the correct contemporary spelling is Cecill, though the good Duchess was said often to have signed herself Cecylle. Whatever you opt for, do, for Heaven's sake, stick to it throughout your story! I enjoyed the book, but reading it after some pretty elevated stuff by Sebastian Faulks, it all seemed a bit square, facile and insubstantial.

Nationwide Series racer Marcos Ambrose will become a full-time Sprint Cup driver next season, thanks to a new partnership former NBA player Brad Daugherty has with JTG Racing.
Daugherty, now a NASCAR analyst for ESPN, has become a part-owner of JTG Racing. The team will be renamed JTG Daugherty Racing. It will continue to field two Nationwide Series entries, but add a full-time Sprint Cup entry next year with Ambrose at the wheel.
"I have a tremendous passion for racing," Daugherty said Tuesday. "This gives me another avenue to be involved in the sport. It's a big stake to do this at the Cup level, and I hope it opens doors in the sport for other minorities and women."
Little Debbie snack cakes will sponsor the car, which will use No. 47.
Ambrose, 31 and an Australian from Launceston, Tasmania, races for JTG in the Nationwide Series. He ranked 13th in the standings with three top-10 finishes in the No. 59 Ford.
"I can't think of a better partner to be involved with this team than Brad," Ambrose said. "He's a real racer. I hope I can deliver the results for him. We have a lot of hard work to do to get ready for 2009, but time is on our side. I'm just really excited to get started."
Ambrose also raced in the Cup event last month on the road course at Sonoma, Calif., finishing 42nd after a gearbox failure in the No. 21 Ford for Wood Brothers Racing.
Daugherty, 42, previously owned a Craftsman Truck Series team and a Nationwide team (then the Busch Series). Robert Pressley won a Busch event in Daugherty's car in 1989. The late Kenny Irwin Jr. won two CTS events for Daugherty's team in 1997.
Daugherty, who grew up in North Carolina and followed NASCAR, was an All-American center for the University of North Carolina in 1986. He played nine seasons for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA and was a five-time NBA All-Star.

The Hedgehogs
I read a story about one of the coldest winters in history which caused many animals to perish due to the bitter temps. In an attempt to keep warm, a group of hedgehogs grouped together, however, the quills of each one wounded their closest companions.
After a while, the hedgehogs decided to distance themselves one from one another and they began to die, alone and cold. So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or die alone. Wisely, they decided to group together and learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions.
Here's the way I see it: The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people. Instead, it occurs when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good qualities. While no one is perfect, our printing firm is dedicated to going the extra mile to exceed your expectations and create projects we will both be proud of.
What does your design look like when viewed through the eyes of someone that's color blind? Not everyone can see all colors, but they do need to be able to recognize what different colors can mean on some signs, particularly safety signs and notification signs. While accommodating color blind viewers is not yet a universal requirement to assist those with this disability, many countries do require such an accommodation. This means there is a precedent for constructing design work in this way.
If you are asked to design something for color blind viewers, it can be done. Here are some ways you can approach it.
Consider the different types of color blindness when preparing printed materials for this segment of the population:
If you're not color blind, how can you experience what color blind viewers will experience? Photoshop can simulate that experience with these two proofing commands:
View > Proof Setup > Color Blindness - Protanopia TypeView > Proof Setup > Color Blindness - Deuteranopia Type
These commands allow you to see the way designs will look to people with the two types of color blindness listed above. Once you know how a color blind person will actually see your design, you can use all of the other Photoshop tools at your disposal to adjust the design as needed. This will help you design documents and signs that are truly viewer friendly to color blind people.
The most important thing to remember is that for most people with colorblindness, it is not so much distinguishing one color from another that is the problem, as it is differentiating between shades and brightness levels of similar colors. You can do your colorblind viewers a tremendous favor by making colors bright and never mixing gradients of shades of a color on a document or sign.
Another helpful thing for colorblind viewers is having some kind of visual texture, especially on infographics. If you are creating a graphic chart, for example, and it uses different colors, try putting some light or dark bands across some of the bars or pie wedges on your graph. Even if your colorblind users can't distinguish the color, they will know what is what on the chart by the visual textures.
Finally, try to avoid using any signage that requires identification of something by color alone. This is a popular design trend that many people think makes things simpler, but it is a nightmare for colorblind viewers. Always include some kind of accompanying text, so if a colorblind person can't distinguish a color, they can always read the words.
Public signs are the most common types that need color distinction to convey messages, although some private signs may rely on this, as well. Keep the differences in mind on how color blind people view various colors, whether they can see those colors at all, and how those color perceptions will impact their ability to interpret the print. Use this knowledge to design the print appropriately, and your buyer will be satisfied.
Creative direct mail materials partnered with a professional website landing page can be a great way to create a powerful two-part marketing campaign. A landing page, sometimes known as a "lead capture page" or a "lander" is a specific web page that is used to enhance the effectiveness of advertisements with additional information. The common goal of a landing page is to convert site visitors into sales or leads.
Here are a few tips for creating an efficient landing page that helps convert traffic into sales:
If you'd like help creating the perfect print marketing piece that will draw visitors to your web landing page, remember our creative team is only a phone call away!
If your business is looking for an efficient and cost-effective way to announce new products or specials, provide directions, or simply offer a schedule of meetings and events, custom printed display signs are a great solution.
Because display signs use durable substrates such as foam core or display board (a tougher version of foam core which is much stronger and less resistant to warping), they are a perfect choice for display and event signage that use easels, wall mounts, or framing.
Display signs are custom made in a large variety of sizes, and can be laminated with gloss or matte laminate for durability. If you choose clear gloss lamination, you can write on the sign with a dry erase marker.

About افلام إباحية
افلام إباحية The live-action parts of these productions are also usually filmed first, the actors pretending that they are also interacting with the animated characters, props, or scenery; animation will also then be added into the footage later to make it appear as if it has always been there. افلام إباحية Editing the film at the animatic stage prevents the animation of scenes that would be edited out of the film; as traditional animation is a very expensive and time-consuming process, creating scenes that will eventually be edited out of the completed cartoon is strictly avoided. What people seem to agree on is that it�s more about the way of telling the story than the specific drawing style.
افلام نيك ومص الزب There are also two main categories of hentai: works that feature mainly heterosexual interactions often abbreviated as het, and those that feature mainly homosexual interactions.
This can be considered a digital form of pencil testing. Less common are bara�larger, often heavily muscled and sometimes hairy males, the yaoi counterpart of the bear in gay pornography�as well as oyaji meaning daddy or uncle, featuring middle-aged and elderly men.
Disregarding the pain she is feeling in her chest from the attached chain, she hurls her body into the arm that the Hollow is choking Tatsuki with. Ecchi means sex and regular pervert. افلام اسرؤيلى سكس كاملة S. Plot is not still used to develop character and setting, but most of the time, the ultimate goal is not to show scenes of sexuality with few exceptions. Reinforcements - much needed! The captains respectively take on high ranking opponents in the Espada and kill them, thus making light work of Ichigo�s heavy task. Episodes can be part of a larger story arc stretched out over a time period covering one or more seasons, or even an entire series run.

Thanks Brian, appreciate your comment:).
Yes it's been very interesting reading everyone's opinions on Instagram and their latest changes. Particularly how they're handling the backlash they've received - but surely they would have expected that? Maybe there is no such thing as bad publicity lol.
Dec 23 Posted 2 years ago
Excellent article. I have been reading a few different points of view on the Instagram debacle and this one is certainly the most convincing. One thing I have found through reading numerous articles is that Facebook seems to be the root-of-all-evil in this case. At any rate, this definitley made me think about whether or not I want to keep my Instagram account.

June 13, 2012
A Senate Appropriations Committee subcommittee Tuesday approved a $68.5 billion Education Department (ED) budget for FY 2013, including a slight hike to the maximum Pell Grant but excluding money for President Obama's proposed higher education "Race to the Top" initiative.
The education funding is included in a $158.8 billion overall spending bill for education, labor and health programs. The measure passed by a 10-7 party-line vote, with Republicans objecting to money included in the bill to implement parts of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, President Obama's health care overhaul.
The overall bill is $2 billion more than current funding for the combined programs, approximately what President Obama requested in his 2013 budget proposal. But the $68.5 billion in education funding fell below the $69.8 billion requested by the president in his proposed 2013 budget.
Still, the maximum Pell Grant would increase by $85 to $5,635 under the measure. The bill also allocates $40 million for the president's proposed First in the World initiative, a competitive grant program to encourage institutions to experiment with ways to restrain tuition growth, and allocates $44.8 million for the new Advanced Research Projects Agency for Education, or ARPA-ED. Funding for the National Institutes of Health would increase by $100 million to $30.7 billion.
The bill contains only level funding for most other student financial aid programs, such as Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants and Federal Work-Study Grants. And the spending measure does not contain the $1 billion requested by the White House for a higher education "Race to the Top" initiative modeled after the K-12 program that uses competitive grants to encourage performance improvements from local school systems.
A number of policy provisions also were included in the bill. Two of these proposals were included in the president's budget—one that eliminates eligibility for subsidized Stafford loans for new borrowers enrolled beyond 150 percent of their program's length, and another that reduces the subsidy paid by the government to guaranty agencies for rehabilitating defaulted loans.
The legislation also includes two provisions that appear to target for-profit colleges but would apply to all institutions. One bans institutions from using federal dollars on "marketing, recruitment and advertising," while the other eliminates the use of room and board in the cost of attendance calculation for Pell Grant eligibility for distance education students.
The measure is headed for a full committee vote on Thursday.
In other appropriations news, ACE and other higher education organizations are urging the Senate to support full funding for the National Science Foundation (NSF) and oppose a provision that bans funding for political science programs in the House-passed version of the spending bill for the departments of Commerce, Justice, Science and related agencies.
In a letter sent Monday to senators, ACE President Molly Corbett Broad and two dozen other organizations said, "We urge you to support funding for the NSF and to vote against any proposals to reduce its funding or restrict NSF support for political or other sciences."

How mutual funds make tons of money for themselves, not you
No Comments- Get free updates of new posts here
Just because mutual funds are popular doesn't mean they're the right choice for everyone. In fact, there's a lot of trickery surrounding the entire industry.
From yesterday's New York Times:
But when the bubble burst, the Janus family of growth funds was absolutely crushed. From September 2000 to September 2002, the flagship Janus Fund lost almost 60 percent of its value, as did Janus Worldwide, another big-name fund…Here's the part I find most amazing. Despite everything Janus did wrong, despite losing hundreds of millions of dollars that individual investors had entrusted to them, not once during this entire time did Janus post an annual loss.
Are they making their investors money?
In the case of too many Janus funds, and this is true of most growth funds these days, the answer this year is no….Over all, Janus' funds are down 5.2 percent this year, slightly better than their peers, but significantly worse than the Standard & Poor's 500.
I excerpted a lot. The entire article is even better: Janus Funds: Everybody Loves a Loser
What's a mutual fund and why do I hate them in general? I've written about them before in All About Mutual Funds.

The partnership deal between CIMtrek and Cloud Technology Solutions has been extended to include new products and capabilities offered by each company.
The partnership between Cloud Technology Solutions (CTS), and CIMtrek, encompasses CTS's Email migration from Notes to Google and Exchange tools and CIMtrek's new Application migration from Notes to Microsoft SharePoint. This reciprocal agreement will deliver a comprehensive, easy and cost effective way of migrating, testing and supporting legacy business processes on a massive, secure, cloud infrastructure.
Both companies will offer each other's technology to their respective resellers and partner channels as well as to end user organizations.
Cloud Technology Solutions is a leader in the migration of on-premise messaging and collaboration tools. CIMtrek has a rapidly expanding customer base and was awarded the status of 'Cool Vendor' by Gartner Group within twelve months of launch.
"We are seeing an increased demand for our products and services around the world. The one component we have been missing is mail migration - this extended partnership plugs that gap and will enable our customers to migrate all of their Notes estate to a new cloud or on premise environment encompassing Java and Microsoft technologies," said Jon Pyke, CEO and Founder of CIMtrek.
"We are very excited to be extending our relationship with CIMtrek, the ability to offer turnkey application migrations from Notes, as well as moving an organisation's email estate to the cloud is extremely compelling to people looking to move away from the Notes platform" added James Doggart, CEO of Cloud Technology Solutions.
"The combined tools and experience this deal brings makes moving away from Notes easier, more automated and cheaper than ever. By moving to the cloud customers can establish themselves on a current platform, future proof their needs, find the required current skills easier and more importantly scale."
About CIMtrek
CIMTrek is an international software company based in the UK, which was established in 2009 to provide the tools that help end user organizations understand the magnitude of the migration journey to the cloud, and to automate that migration. CIMtrek has developed a set of tools that migrate legacy applications, such as IBM's Lotus Notes, to whichever cloud platform best meets the business need. Within a year of being established CIMtrek was recognized as a cool vendor by Gartner.

The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas. CompTIA research identifies several areas where IoT is expected to have the greatest impact.

Rare wanted multiplayer in VP1
Speaking to this site, Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise lead designer Justin Cook has revealed that his team wanted to include multiplayer functionality in the first game, but that such features were omitted.
Trouble in Paradise will include the option for budding gardeners to share their gardens, and even collaborate on building and maintaining to various degrees, which can be set by a garden's owner.
"We wanted to put online play into the game last time and for a variety of reasons that just didn't happen. This time you get the full experience - sharing your garden with friends (up to four of you together in one garden)," explained Cook.
"The owner gets to say what tools you can use (if he doesn't trust you, you only get to look around) and as you work together you gain experience and cash to use in your own garden."
More on this, the game's unique art style, the new creatures, the prospects for the series in general and more in the full interview.

Historical Traveler Reviews Grosvenor Kensington Hotel London
Disappointed with Grosvenor Kensington
As the other reviews say, the location is great, but the hotel needs work.. I read the reviews, and decided to go ahead with the hotel, since I assumed that the rooms were just a bit old.. When i got there, i wished that I could have changed the reservation, but it was too late.
The room was quite dusty and a bit dirty. I also wasnt sure if the bathroom was cleaned..
I was quite disappointed..
i do not recommend this hotel
Excellent Location, So-So Hotel
We had read the reviews before we left and sort of knew what to expect, an older hotel in a great location. That is just what we got. The place is in serious need of some renovation and the noise level depends on the room. We had to move after 5 nights and the second room was so much nicer than the first. Our first room faced the main thoroughfare and was VERY noisy! Between the traffic noise, the after-hours revellers and the nearby construction, we could barely hear ourselves think! That room was on the 4th floor. We moved to the 5th floor our last night and the room was on a different hallway and MUCH quieter. Our rooms weren't air-conditioned and very HOT but it was impossible to sleep with the window open because of the noise. We asked for a fan but there wasn't one. OUr daughter's room had an air conditioner but it didn't work.
The breakfast was filling but boring. The same thing is served EVERY morning and it got quite old by our 5th day and we were actually relieved that we had to leave before breakfast on the last morning! But overall, the stay was acceptable. The desk people were very helpful and the hotel was clean. It looked like they had renovated a portion of the place but not where we were. I have a feeling they give travel agent -booked customers lousier rooms but that's just a theory.
But, it was in a terrific location...
Girly weekend
Just back from a girly weekend in London. The hotel is very basic including the bar - but the staff are very pleasant. Great location - loads of restaurants, patisseries etc... I am sure the hotel was spectacular in its day and does need some work but we were only using it as a base so didn't mind too much. The rooms are tired looking but clean.
Formidable hotel
Great hotel with comfortable rooms and cosy atmosphere. Outstanding Value for London, better than I have experienced in the past. Really enjoyed to stay so close to all the sight and at an affordable price.
Over rated
Shame my husband and I did not read the reviews until after booking the package as our travel agent assured us this was a first class hotel.
How wrong, the hotel is seriously needing a total make over, especially the beds and soft furnishings. Staff are helpful and the location is Ok although nearer the West End would be better next time. Seems the English have more optimistic hotel ratings than we do as I rate this 2 star as the owners clearly do not want to spend money on the place.
Very disappointed.
Good place
The Grosvenor Kensington was a pleasant surprise. The rooms were small and things were a little old, but it was clean, quiet and safe (our main criteria). Good in-room bathroom with great hot water and pressure. Hotel staff nice and tried to be helpful. You need to do your homework before just taking what the conceirge service advises you. Could tell they were paid on commission. The English breakfast that came with our package was fine, but it would have been nice if it had been mixed up a little. Got very boring by day 7. Hotel is near the South Kensington tube, which made traveling quite easy. This is a big plus if you're planning to do a lot of touring and the tube as your main mode of transport.
Great Location
Just got back from London. This hotel is about 50 yards from the S.
Kensington subway station and is about 1 block from all of the museums.
Hotel could use a serious makeover, but my room was spacious, the shower was great and the service was excellent.
Very pleasant stay
I stayed here the last week of February. I found the hotel to be clean and well run, if a little frayed at the edges. My room- a single- was bright, clean, comfortable and large for a London single. Plenty of hot & cold water. Room could have been warmer - my wing was colder than the other side of the hotel, but double glazed windows kept it fairly quiet. The location is great, just steps from the tube and major museums. Inexpensive internet cafe just across the street. Breakfasts were very good, the staff were pleasant and helpful. I got the impression that they are working to bring the hotel back from being rather worn out. I stayed as part of a Virgin Vacation package and would happily book again.
Stayed there during Feb 2004 after seeing a low rate on the internet.
It was supposed to be a superior tourist class ... afraid not my friends ! The bedroom fabrics were well worn and in some instances i.e.
bed cover and curtains, were dirty / stained. In fact the whole hotel is past its sell by date. The owners are clearly trying to make a fast buck based on its previous good record. The location is very good but I would not recommend this hotel, there are far better alternatives. We checked out early and moved to Harrington Hall hotel.
Great location but the hotel needs some work
We had stayed in this area before and loved it. This hotel was offered as a medium range hotel with our package deal. However, I would classify it as a lower-level hotel. The room, as well as the rest of the hotel, was dingy and could have used a new coat of paint, to say the least. It also smelled of smoke. The mattress was pretty old and had two discernable indents on either side that made it rather uncomfortable. We were on the first floor (2nd floor by US standards) and right on the street. As I live in a city the street noise did not bother me but it may bother those not used to it. The bathroom had a jacuzzi, however on alternating mornings we either had no hot water or no cold water. The staff's suggestion was to have us shower in another room. They did not offer to give us a new room. The breakfast offered was good. Full English as well as fruit, yogurt, cereal etc... When we checked out the staff held on to our luggage as we did not have to immediately leave for the airport. When we came back to retrieve our luggage I was disappointed to see that it was not in a locked area and anyone could have gotten into it. I got the feeling that there were nicer rooms in the hotel that included mini bars etc... but perhaps these are reserved for people who are not staying there as part of a package deal. All in all, I was disappointed.
