Box Score
PHILADELPHIA - Junior Alyssa Baron had 28 points - the most for any Quaker this season - while sophomore Katy Allen posted her first career double-double and sophomore Kara Bonenberger added 15 points and seven boards in a fast-paced 79-73 home win over Morgan State on Tuesday at The Palestra.
Penn won for the seventh time in the last nine games to improve to 7-5 overall. Morgan State, in its first-ever visit to The Palestra, fell to 4-10 on the year.
A strange twist enabled the Quakers to pull ahead for good in the final minutes. Penn led by one, 69-68, with just under three minutes to play when Morgan State was called for a technical foul with six players on the court. Sophomore Kathleen Roche sunk both free throws, the Quakers got a stop and then Bonenberger hit a pair from the charity stripe for a five-point lead with 1:31 to play.
The Bears briefly got to within three, but Penn made 6-of-8 from the free throw line in the final minute to keep the visitors at bay.
The Quakers, who have won three of the last four at home, got off to a quick start. Freshman Keiera Ray started the game with a three-point play, Baron sunk a two and a three, and Bonenberger had a pair of free throws for a 10-2 lead within the first 3:30.
Morgan State settled in and went on a 13-4 run to gain its first lead of the game, 15-14, at the 12:16 mark of the opening half. The teams exchanged the lead several times - eight in all during the first 20 minutes - with Morgan State holding its biggest lead at 31-27 with 4:57 until the break.
But the Quakers scored 10 of the last 14 in the first frame, capped by a Baron three at the buzzer for a 39-35 edge at intermission.
It was an ugly start to the second half for the Quakers. Three turnovers and no made field goals over the first four minutes and Morgan State took a 41-39 lead.
But Baron took over. She scored 10 of the next 11 points for the Quakers to spark a 16-5 run. Freshman Rayne Connell had three points in that spurt and it was capped by two free throws from senior captain Brianna Bradford for a 55-46 lead with 11:28 to play.
The Bears clawed their way back to within two, 57-55, but the Red and Blue slowly built their lead back to nine and led 69-60 when junior Courtney Wilson sunk a baseline jumper.
Once again, Morgan State came back. An 8-0 run made it a one-point game, 69-68, with 3:16 to go, but the momentum was halted when the Bears were caught with six players on the court after a timeout.
Baron also added a team-best five assists and had six rebounds on 9-of-13 (69.2%) shooting, including 3-of-4 (75%) from three. With her 28 points, she has now reached the top 10 all-time at Penn in scoring with 1,117 career points. Bonenberger had a team-best three blocks. Allen earned her first career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Ray finished with nine points, four rebounds and three assists.
Penn was 23-of-54 (42.6%) from the floor, while Morgan State was 26-of-67 (37.3%). From three, the Quakers were just 3-of-12 (25%) while the Bears were 12-of-29 (41.4%), led by Bianca Jarrett's eight three's on just 13 attempts (the rest of the team was just 4-of-16 from three). Jarett finished with 32 points.
The Quakers had 18 assists on 23 baskets and just 12 turnovers. Penn also forced 13 Morgan State miscues and won the rebounding battle, 44-38.
Next up, its another doubleheader for the Penn men and women. And its the Ivy opener for both teams. Traditionally the Ivy League's first game of the season, Penn and Princeton will matchup for a matinee at Jadwin Gym on Saturday. The women will tip off the Ivy season at 3:30 p.m., and the men will tip at 6 p.m.

Davis delivers winning blast for Orioles in 10th
Cruz belts 29th homer as Gausman duels with Felix for 6 2/3 innings
SEATTLE -- The Orioles are quickly making the West Coast the best coast.
Despite a brutal three-city road trip out of the All-Star break -- against three clubs that ended the first half all with a better record than Baltimore -- the first-place O's have shown no signs of slowing down. If anything, the Orioles are cranking it up, especially in extra innings.
Led by Chris Davis' decisive 10th-inning homer, the Orioles -- who continue to get impressive pitching performances on a nightly basis -- broke through to capture their fourth win in five games with a 2-1 victory over Seattle on Friday night to keep their American League East lead at three.
The win, their fifth consecutive in extra-inning contests, guarantees the Orioles (57-45) will at least finish .500 on the tough 10-game trip with two games to play.
"It's been a good stretch for us," manager Buck Showalter said of his rotation, which has pitched to a 1.26 ERA in the last five games, all of which have been quality starts. "Something that we needed. It's not something you call a meeting and challenge everybody with, it falls under the obvious. They know what's at stake."
Baltimore, which saw Nelson Cruz connect for his 29th homer, has won 16 of its last 23 road games and did so Friday in impressive fashion, as Orioles starter Kevin Gausman went toe-to-toe with former AL Cy Young Award winner -- and this year's All Star starter -- Felix Hernandez.
Hernandez, who held the Orioles to one run over seven innings, tied Tom Seaver's Major League record and became just the second pitcher since 1900 to go 13 consecutive starts of at least seven innings and allow two or fewer runs.
"I think any time you face a guy like that, everybody knows about it," said Gausman, who was still at Louisiana State University the last time Hernandez faced the O's. "He just went 13 straight [quality starts] or something like that. That's pretty ridiculous. I definitely knew I was going to have my 'A' game tonight, and as the game got on I just tried to stay locked in. When we got that home run [from Cruz] it was almost a sigh of relief. It was like, 'OK, we got one and that might be all we get.' You got to try to pick up your stuff there."
Gausman did exactly that. Showcasing a fastball that topped out at 97mph, the righty allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings. The 23-year-old, who turned in his second-longest outing this season, scattered seven hits and three walks -- navigating out of several jams in the 103-pitch no-decision.
"I don't think you ever go into it trying to match him. You are just trying to keep the scoreboard close to what he's doing," Showalter said of Hernandez, who is 7-1 with a 1.36 ERA over his last 13 games. "He's special. Everybody in Seattle knows that. Very few pitchers you will see that have that good of hand and can manipulate the ball and do so many things with it. He almost invents pitches out there."
Davis ensured the Orioles' effort wouldn't be wasted, driving reliever Charlie Furbush's 1-2 pitch into right field for a leadoff 10th-inning homer. The blast, the second of the road trip for Davis, was another key hit for the slugger, who has managed to help the O's in key spots despite a down year at the plate.
"Chris doesn't let things snowball mentally," Showalter said of Davis, who had 53 homers in 2013. "You know it's so frustrating -- can you imagine doing what he did last year knowing you are capable of that? And going through some of the challenges. But he's had some really big hits for us this year. Tonight was a good example of that."
Davis was involved in another key play in the bottom of the 10th, as closer Zach Britton fielded Robinson Cano's comebacker, turned and fired high to first. Davis corralled it, although Cano was originally called safe, but after a review, the call was overturned to end the game.
Britton picked up his 19th save in 22 opportunities when the call was made, with Darren O'Day picking up a pair of strikeouts and lefty Brian Matusz getting a big five outs, including three strikeouts, after Gausman.
Cruz put a hurting on a rare mistake pitch from Hernandez, getting the Orioles on the board in the second inning.
"That was a rocket," Hernandez said of Cruz's ball, which gave him a sixth consecutive season of at least 20 homer and 75 RBIs. "Unbelievable. I thought that ball was going to hit the wall. I didn't get angry. It was just a mistake. After that, I just tried to throw good pitches."
Hernandez retired 11 straight -- 16 of his final 18 -- after Caleb Joseph's third-inning double.
"Felix was locating every pitch, and at times it felt like he was just kind of playing around out there," Davis said. "That's how he's been all year. He's at the top of his game right now. There's, in my mind, not a better pitcher, in the league at this point. And you know you have a tough task when you go up against him."
After Hernandez navigated around Nick Markakis' one-out double, the Mariners evened the score in the bottom of the sixth inning to mark the first run off an Orioles starter in 18 innings. Cano tripled to the right-field corner, on a ball that hit off the hustling Markakis' glove, and Kendrys Morales -- in his first game since being traded to the Mariners -- drove him in with a sacrifice fly.
Gausman, who stranded runners at third in the third and fourth, got a lift from his defense in the fifth inning. After Brad Miller walked and was hit by Endy Chavez's single for the second out, Gausman gave up a left-field single to James Jones with outfielder Steve Pearce coming up firing to nab Chavez at home plate. Gausman exited in favor of Matusz after striking out Chavez for the second out of the seventh inning, with Hernandez recording one more out.
"I'm a fan of pitchers and good pitchers and he's probably the best in baseball right now," Gausman said. "The last couple years he's been pretty unbelievable, so I definitely knew I was going to have to have my 'A' game. But I think it's definitely exciting [to go against him] and makes it a lot more fun for us."

The leading central banks in the developed economies have, of course, been the main actors underpinning the global bull market in risk assets since 2009. For long periods their stance has been unequivocally dovish as they have deliberately tried to strengthen an anaemic global economic recovery by boosting asset prices.
In the past week, we have had major statements of intent from Janet Yellen, the new US Federal Reserve chairwoman; from the European Central Bank; and from the Bank of England. After multiple hours of fuzzy guidance about forward guidance, the clarity of previous years about the global policy stance has become much more murky. Central banks are no longer as obviously friendly to risk assets as they once were – but they have not become outright enemies, and they are unlikely to do so while they are concerned that price and wage inflation will remain too low for a protracted period.
It is now quite difficult to generalise about what central bankers think. However, a few of the necessary pieces of the jigsaw puzzle slotted into place in the past week. Read more

A President Convicted of Rape Sends Seismic Change Throughout this Small Country
Dear Engaged Bystander: On Thursday, December 30, 2010, a former president of Israel was convicted of two counts of rape. This is the first time that any head of government of any democratically led country was convicted of such charges.
The decision was seen as a "mixed blessing" by many in Israel. While the decision showed that all citizens are equal before the law (even a former president of the country), the country is also deeply disgraced by his actions. However, victim rights advocates described the decision as a "generational shift in society that has historically indulged the machismo of its leading men." The impact of the trial has already been seen by many working with victims. For example, staff at the Tel Aviv Rape Crisis Center said that there has been a spike in the number of calls to the organization's hotline. Government reports show that the number of complaints of sexual abuse increased by 40 percent from 2009 to 2010.
One of the most interesting political and legal shifts that may come out of this decision is that a number of victim advocates are petitioning "the attorney general to consider criminal charges for Katsav cronies who helped him keep a lid on his exploits."
If these petitions are successfully file and prosecuted, it would send a clear message that not only is rape and sexually harassment illegal, but it would send a clear message that staying silent about what you see and hear in others is also a crime. As someone who has worked to show the impact that bystanders can have in any situation, this would be a seismic shift for any country and especially one that is based in a military culture that often ignored the transgressions of its leaders. According to Yofi Tirosh, a lecturer in law and feminism at Tel Aviv University, "No longer will journalists and high-ranking colleagues of these powerful men say, 'Oh well, it's part of the privilege of being a high-ranking official.' It's a crime like every crime,"
This case, like many rape cases, is very complicated. Many cannot reconcile these charges with the incredible work Katsav has done for his country. Other wonder if these charges were made because Katsav is a Sephardic Jew, sometimes viewed as second class citizens. And others have said that he brought it on himself when he drew attention to the case when he claimed to be blackmailed by an employee and when he then refused the original plea bargin, insisting that his case go to trial.
Hoping for change,

Wendy Gets Your Tables Setby FN Dish Editor in View All Posts, December 23rd, 2008
Wendy recently shared a bold tablescape which prompted:
Dear Wendy,
Every year something goes horribly wrong and I'm left with a mis-mash of clutter on my table. You mentioned bold colors (which I LOVE) but my walls are bright yellow and orange. Is it over the top to incorporate more bold colors in my tablescape or should I go subtle? I don't want my guests to need sunglasses but I don't want it to look blah! ~ Robin
Here's what Wendy shared:
While table settings should connect to the immediate environ, it's the type of gathering that determines the "flavor" of color…
- High energy: If it's a lively event with spicy foods and fun music, go bold!!! A tropical "bamboo" green would also be a great choice in your setting, Robyn.
- Down to earth: Neutrals or creamy textures are great for a more conversational, daytime mood.
- Tryouts: Test how your color vision works with your table and the rest of the room. Paint swatches are helpful. Or in a pinch, try book jackets, colorful clothes like sweaters and scarves, or simple objects around your home to achieve that preview.
- Start small: Still unsure? Use a touch of bold color via napkins or a table runner for a color splash with impact.

By Edgar Ocana, NFTE New England graduate
NFTE is more than just a program that focuses on teaching entrepreneurship, it also changes lives. My name is Edgar Ocana, freshman at Babson College in Wellesley, MA. I'm 18, from Chelsea MA, born in Los Angeles, and am the first born son and first in my family to go to college. Because of NFTE, I had an excellent entrepreneurship class in high school, a NFTE-trained teacher who helped me in multiple ways, and a program that helped me in my pursuit to a higher education.
When I took entrepreneurship my senior year of high school, I thought it was just going to be a fun and easy elective to get me by my senior year. I was interested in going into business after my junior year. I heard some good things about the class, such as a day trip to New York, and a bunch of other field trips. As the days continued, I realized the many factors in having a different mindset for business. We spent a lot of time looking for an opportunity to solve a problem, or create a change that people would be interested in investing their time and money. We did many activities, and grew throughout the year from kids who had no idea for a business, to well-dressed business young adults ready to give a business plan presentation in front of judges. I learned first-hand how to take an unfortunate event and turn it into an opportunity that can benefit me. When my business plan didn't go through, I wasn't mad or upset. I saw the weaknesses in my business plan, and now try to view every possible factor that can help me or hurt me.
I owe a lot to my entrepreneurship teacher, Gail Treanor. I met her during my junior year as my homeroom teacher. She talked a lot about her entrepreneurship class. So senior year, I took entrepreneurship. I also switched out of Spanish 1 (which I can fluently speak and somehat read and write) so I could be in her accounting 1 class. Both accounting and entrepreneurship settled my doubts about whether I wanted to go into business. She wrote me a letter of recommendation for college, and through NFTE's entrepreneurship class, I was introduced to Babson College. The NFTE U classes and teacher workshops truly prepare teachers to be a great resource for students in the class.
NFTE also had a big impact on my college education. I applied to Babson, Bentley, Bryant, UMass Boston, UMass Amherst, and Newbury College. I got my letter of acceptance from Babson, and was amazed when they offered me the NFTE scholarship. It was a 4 year, all tuition paid scholarship to Babson College. My mom was in tears, dad was happy, and I was beyond shocked with the 5 digit numbers that were on my financial aid package. My entrepreneurship teacher was thrilled. I later found out they pick one NFTE student in the nation to receive this scholarship. After weeks of comparing schools and visiting Babson, I bought the Babson hoodie to make it official: I was going to be a Babson college student. Since then, NFTE has continued to support me. When I needed a job, NFTE's New England regional director Jennifer green was able to help me by offering me a job at the New England office, which is 12 minutes away from my dorm. I wish to give back to NFTE and support it in any way. Not just because they helped me out in so many ways, but because they help countless other students year after year in high school classrooms.

Some Secrets of the Qur'an
God Makes his Religion Supreme When one Worships Him Alone
One of the most important goals of a Muslim in this life is to spread the Qur'anic morals all over the world, so that people can serve God as they should. In the Qur'an, God has shown believers the way to achieve these aims and commanded as follows:
In accordance with a secret God reveals to believers, God will secure the establishment of the values of the Qur'an all over the world if believers only worship God, without ascribing partners to Him. This is a very important secret, because, it indicates that it is the responsibility of every believer to spread the guidance of the Qur'an among all people. Since this is the case, every believer of conscience should strictly avoid associating partners with God and worship only Him. Before all else, associating partners with God is a sin that God does not forgive and which sends man to hell. However, it may well be that a majority of people relate this concept to pagans who worship idols. Mankind should also be wary of the "hidden idolatry". In this form of idolatry, one can readily express his faith in God, acceptance of God as the one and only God and creator and obedience to Him. But, fearing any being other than God, considering the approval and support of other people more important, considering trade, family and ancestry more important than God and striving in His way, are outright idolatry. The true sense of faith as explained in the Qur'an deems the good pleasure of God above and over anything else. The affection displayed to all beings other than God, can only be means to earn God's pleasure. Those who feel indebted to people for a blessing given to them, who regard them as their protector are, in fact, idolaters. This is because, the One Who bestows various kinds of sustenance to people is God; the One Who feeds, protects and shelters every living being and restores them to health when they are ill is God alone. If God wills, He restores a sick person to health by the hand of a doctor. In this sense, it is illogical for someone to pin his hopes only on the doctor. Because, no doctor can cure a patient unless by the Will of God. A person whose health is improved should see his doctor as a person by whose hands God restores him to health and, accordingly, show the due respect to the doctor. However, knowing that it is actually God Who heals, it is God to Whom he should be grateful. Otherwise, he would be associating partners with God and would ascribe an attribute of God to man. All Muslims should strictly avoid hidden idolatry, and making friends, confidants or protectors other than God.
The Life Of The World Is
He will say, 'How many years did you tarry on the earth?' They will say, 'We tarried there for a day or part of a day. Ask those able to count!' He will say, 'You only tarried there for a little while if you did but know!' 'Did you suppose that We created you for amusement and that you would not return to Us?' (Surat al-Muminun: 112-115)
On the Day the Last Hour arrives, the evildoers will swear they have not even tarried for an hour. That is the extent to which they are deceived. (Surat ar-Rum: 55)
Above are the dialogues among those gathered together to be reckoned. As these dialogues also suggest, after death people realise that they, in fact, stayed in the world only for a short while. That is, the period, which seems to be six to seven decades in the life of the world, is in fact as short as a single day or even much shorter. This is similar to the case of a man who assumes that he had spent days, months or even years in his dream, but who, after awakening, realises that he dreamt only for a few seconds.
Some contemplation would enable man to grasp the brevity and temporary nature of the life of this world. For example, everyone makes certain plans and sets some goals for his life. These plans and goals never end. They follow one another. Typically, a person graduates from high school, enrolls in university, and then takes a job with a company. All these are, however, fleeting experiences. In youth, one hardly imagines reaching thirty years old. Yet before too long they reach forty.
The shortness of the life of the world is a certain fact God reveals in the Qur'an that can be understood by anyone before dying. For those who grasp this it would be unwise to neglect the endless and real life of the hereafter for such a brief and temporary life. Some of the verses in which God warns mankind of the briefness of the life of this world are as follows:
'My people! The life of the world is only fleeting enjoyment. It is the hereafter, which is the abode of permanence.' (Surah Ghafir: 39)
These people love this fleeting world and have put the thought of a Momentous Day behind their backs. (Surat al-Insan: 27)

Photo Gallery: Shooting wounds two at The Shoppes at Chino Hills
CHINO HILLS - The gunman who opened fire at a Chino Hills shopping center Thursday night was an off-duty Huntington Park police officer who was involved in a road rage incident with four other men.
San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies say one of the two men wounded in the shooting remains hospitalized today at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton.
Deputies received several 9-1-1 calls at 7:52 p.m. regarding shots fired at The Shoppes in Chino Hills.
They arrived and found two wounded men. Several other people were detained at the scene.
Deputies determined the Huntington Park officer was in one vehicle and four men were in another on the 71 Freeway when a road rage incident occurred.
Both drivers exited the 71 and stopped at the Shoppes parking lot.
The officer said he saw objects in the hands of two of the four men as they approached him. He armed himself with a gun and fired several shots, striking two of the men.
Deputies said the wounded men ran a short distance and collapsed.
Two other men ran from the scene, but were apprehended by sheriff's deputies.
Deputies found an 8-inch knife and a can of pepper spray within the crime scene.
Sheriff's officials did not release the name of the officer or the four other men.
Anyone with any information may call Detective Matt Peterson or Sgt. Jon Billings, 909-387-3598 or WeTip, 800-78-CRIME.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/3/2013 (1602 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Followers of major league baseball may expect this biography to be largely about baseball. If so, they are likely to be disappointed.
Once past the first 50 pages, readers will find references to the game few and far between.
The subject is Lenny Dykstra, one-time star of the National League's New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies. His aggressive playing style (where he seemed determined to have the dirtiest uniform) endeared him especially to New York fans.
Nailed! mainly tells the sordid story of his dubious business career, most notable for his exploiting colleagues, including the author, and pulling scams on associates and other innocents.
American author Christopher Frankie thoroughly outlines Dykstra's business shenanigans. His style is sometimes unexciting, but that can be attributed to the complexity of the scenarios he is presenting. Besides, Frankie's background is business writing, where he is concerned with accuracy rather than dramatic revelations.
Dykstra, according to Frankie, is a self-serving money-seeker, unhampered by ethics. A rough-and-tumble character (his nickname "Nails" came "because he played the game hard," says all-star catcher Gary Carter), Dykstra follows a similar path in his everyday life as he did on the baseball paths as a youth and young man.
Now 50, Dykstra played big leagues for roughly a decade, starting full time in 1986 with the Mets. He was traded to the Phillies in 1989. He survived despite the impact of injuries in a professional sport with seasons of 162 games.
By 1995, Frankie notes, "The notoriously rock-hard, tobacco-juice-stained turf at urine-scented Veterans Stadium, where the Phillies played their home games, continued to take its toll."
Dykstra missed 100 games in that year alone, partly because of an arthritic right knee. (Not that the tobacco juice has much effect on his injury. The wad of tobacco that he chewed probably had a more negative effect on his health.)
Dykstra's business career ultimately dominated his lifestyle. He became quite successful on the stock market. He seemed to have a knack for picking stocks, and finding experts who would tutor him in business.
In partnership with his brothers, he developed prosperous car-wash businesses in California. He bragged about his success in accumulating wealth and what he was able to do with it. For example, he travelled in a private jet and in 2007 bought a house worth $17.5 million formerly owned by hockey superstar Wayne Gretzky.
Frankie, who had first-hand experience as editor of Dykstra's high-end lifestyle and finance magazine, Players Club, details Dykstra's abuse of staff (and family).
He was victimized, as were many others, by Dykstra's practice of hiring people and refusing to pay them. How Dykstra was able to get away with this behaviour is not always clear, although he seems to have been capable of using a combination of personal charm and his star status.
Yet a string of eight editors came and went in a year of Players Club's existence. It was a matter of time, however, before his lifestyle got him in trouble. He declared bankruptcy in 2008.
In 2009, L.A. police caught Dykstra up in a web of crimes. He was able to get a no-contest deal with a minimum of charges. The outcome was that Dykstra's potential jail time was reduced from a maximum of 12 years to four years or less.
In March 2012, a federal judge levied a sentence that put Dykstra in prison, with the likelihood that more charges would follow. Former baseball buddies found him failing in health and progressively erratic in behaviour. Dykstra now sits in jail, awaiting what the justice system has in store.
It's a sad story. Frankie quotes pitcher Ron Darling: "He's a complicated man who somehow lost his soul."
Ron Kirbyson is a Winnipeg writer who travels to Cuba in the winter to watch baseball.

New Aakash May be Tough Sell in India
Datawind LLC Sunday launched an upgraded version of the cheapest tablet computer in the world, the "Aakash 2." But it is unlikely to shake up the low cost market in India, which is dominated by homegrown manufacturers.
The Canadian startup Datawind, which manufactures its computers in India, has already locked in a supply contract with the Indian government to sell tablets to colleges and universities across the country.
But the commercial version of the seven-inch tablet, named Ubislate 7Ci, is likely to face stiff competition in a market that is already flooded with inexpensive tablets from the likes of Micromax Informatics Ltd HCL Infosystems and United Telelinks Ltd.
Datawind's upgraded version of tablet comes more than a year after the initial Aakash failed to take off because of technical glitches, such as short battery life, slow speed and poor touch interface. The company has ironed out the flaws, says Datawind's chief executive Suneet Singh Tuli, adding that the company continues to sell the first version of the tablet. Datawind has sold a total of 300,000 Ubislate tablets since its commercial launch in April, Mr. Tuli said.
The latest version of the Aakash tablet runs on the Android platform and has more powerful processors. It also has a longer battery life than its previous incarnation. Retailing at 3,500 rupees ($64), the tablet is much cheaper than those offered by Datawind's local counterparts. The older version of Ubislate is priced at 3,000 rupees.
Micromax Informatics, the leader of India's tablet market with a 23% share according to research firm IDC Inc Apple iPad ranked second in the fast-growing market with a 19% share as of the April-June quarter, while local company HCL Infosystems's held about 14% . More than half of the 341,000 tablets shipped to India in the quarter, including Micromax's top-selling Funbook, were priced between 6,000 rupees and 8,000 rupees, IDC says.
The competition in this category is likely to further stiffen with Apple Inc. gearing up for the India launch of its iPad Mini–a tablet computer priced at $329–in a bid to target price-sensitive audiences in emerging markets like China and India.
Datawind will sell the Aakash 2 even more cheaply to the government, for just 2,263 rupees, which in turn will sell at half that price to students at colleges and universities.
The company has already signed a contract to supply 100,000 Aakash 2s to the Indian Institute of Technology in Mumbai by the end of this year under a government-sponsored technology education program. The company expects to grab another contract that is likely to be floated by the government next year to deliver five million tablets, Mr. Tuli said.
But at the retail level, the new tablet "may not have a huge impact," says G. Rajeev, a senior market analyst with IDC. According to Mr. Rajeev, the tablets offered by the likes of Micromax, HCL Infosystems and United Telelinks have better "look and feel" and faster responsive touch interface than the Ubislate.
IDC has previously said that sales of locally-made tablets are likely to see a bump up after several players revamped their portfolios in the last four months.
Further, most of the incumbents, who also sell smartphones, laptops and computers, have good distribution networks in India, while Datawind is relatively new to the market. "The earlier presence of a Micromax and others in the consumer space definitely gives them a much added advantage in terms of consumer know-how," Mr. Rajeev says.
But he added that Datawind is at least set to gain a toehold in the closely-contested market for government contracts.

New colors whoo hooo!! Oh man and just when I thought Crapple didn't have any innovation left in them!! Then to top it off they even managed to use some of the ugliest colors out there! GO CRAPPLE!!
What a pathetic selection and ugly color choices! Apple you need a reality check.
People are not going to wait forever for the next-gen Apple Hardware!
Apple management is evil, greedy and stupid... and I am being very generous with the stupid.
I love the apple products I have bought in the past only because of the wonderful people that work at Apple that have actually designed and built the great hardware and iOS firmwares.
Truth be told, Apple as a company had better wake up and give people what they want. Next generation hardware and iOS firmware that is "truly innovative, high quality and allows customers choices, real choices" not some control-freak, arrogant, limited choices like we have now.
Oh and keep in mind, a sizable percentage of users ONLY ONLY ONLY buy Apple iDevices because we will be able to jailbreak them if we wish to and truly unlock their potential.
Keep coming along Apple, and playing Sheriff and messing with our jailbreak capability and your sluggish sales will fall even further. Shame on the bean-counter, greed-infested, control-freak, narrow-minded, shortsighted and worthless decision-makers in Apple management!
To all of the wonderful, talented and creative, apple employees in the lower ranks that actually have made Apple so successful, we give you the highest recognition, compliments and praise for your work. May you continue to prosper and be a positive force for change.
In a perfect world, Apple employees could unite to destroy the cancerous management attitudes and decisions that have started to rot the Apple Corporation at it's very core, along with it's future.
In our present world, Android has become Apple's Grim Reaper. Customers have waited and the market has spoken.
Wish we had the old Apple back...
Ohh wait, dont u think he already knows this? And if still they havent given you a jailbroken iphone out of the box, cant u count the number of given to your opinion about apple? The number will always remain a virgin because the answer is nun!
FYI, I'm still hanging back on the iPhone 4 on iOS 5.1.1 because I'd rather be on a device that has a bootrom exploit and a better version of iOS than a stretched and recycled iPhone 5 with a garbage iOS that's stripped down and useless! At least I don't have to worry about restoring my device and losing my Jailbreak, which IMO is the most important feature about having an iDevice. An iDevice without a Jailbreak is nothing but a useless locked down brick!
Also, I never said droid was the answer, but Crapple can't seem to come up with anything new and amazing that's worth upgrading to so I'll just stick with a device that I can CUSTOMIZE the way I WANT IT, not the way that CRAPPLE wants it to be!
those of you moaning apple cant innovate maybe you could apply for jobs at apple and then innovate for them.. or you could just carry on being keyboard warriors sounding off #pathetic. the majority of us are happy with how the iphone is, ive jailbroken a few of my iphones including my current iphone 4 and i prefer a stable platform rather than the crashy jailbroken one. yes i would like to change my fonts to something else and play about with my lockscreen etc but they are not showstoppers and i can certainly live without being able to change these things.
i choose to own apple products because of the fantastic design and construction, i can appreciate the time and effort they have put into not just the os and apps but the build quality.. not just a pc hastily thrown together.
i cannot wait to see the iphone 5s and ios 7, roll on june!!
Its nice to have new colours on board
Why's everyone butt-hurt about the colors, that a fan put together, and blaming it on apple? Lmao. Why are these people even on the website? Are you that damn bored, to where you have to troll a website and wait for it to be your turn with something to say? If so, at least wait for an Apple release before making yourself look like faggots.
Jail-breaking is as much a labor of love, hobby, and a way to learn more about technology and software than trying to turn a stock iPhone into a "crashy jailbroken one" as you stated above.
Once you get hooked on jail-breaking and removing the choices and limits that Apple has a 'right' to put on apple devices, you will never go back to stock Apple anything.
Just saying...
U see customization and stability are two trade offs. the more complicated and open a system is, the more glitched its base software is. People who value customization over performance are the fagdroids. The other side the coin is us. The apple people. We prefer stability and simplicity. And those who really want to add customizations, they seek the blessing of cydia. Eventually, all versions get jailbroken. And the customizations offered in that market totally screw a** of the ones found in any unrooted android flagship phone.
So the point remains, that since their market is still stong enough, they dont have to change their ways. This is capitalism. They will just offer minimal upgrades because thats not their motive. The motive is profits, which are still high. They will release groundbreaking devices when people start losing their faith a little too much. Because a groundbreaking product releasing once in a while is valued so much more than new showstoppers everyday under capitalism.
People hate their product that they bought just 6 months back feeling heavily outdated because they released a version thats so much better than the last one. So much more capable. Thats why ull see minimal and useless upgrades such as ram and camera and the size, but not groundbreaking ones which increase and actual functionality of the phone. Make it communicate with us in the most possible human way.. This is true across all brands. U dont see a samsung phone really doing something that other flagships cant. Or something that matters!
There will soon come a groundbreaking apple iphone which will change the way we think about a phone. They have the technology for it..But not untill it has to. The stupid upgrades like using your phone by hovering your hand over it dont matter. If u have to bring your hand once inch close to the screen, u might as well touch it..! How f**king lazy are u?
Honestly they should upgrade it to a gig of ram and an a7 chip. And honestly if your expecting a gamechanger don't hold your breath. Not bashing apple but what else could make the phone any better other than iOS 7?
[QUOTE=vinaygoel2000;6880650]iPhone 5 already has 1gb ram.
How about 2gb ram then?? More fun for the modders? And maybe bump it to 32,64, and 128 gb ssd's? I'm just throwing it out there.
And i wud love to own an iphone in one of those ipod colors. These fan made ones on the other hand are a little dull. And blaming apple for not giving you what you want is not the solution. If you are so anti apple, then u shud throw away your iphone and move on to an android or something. Ure anyway acting like a fagdroid. U might as well become one.

Last Wednesday I watched an episode of Mexico - One Plate at a Time that featured chorizo and since we were planning on tacos for Thursday night I decided to change things up a bit.
On the way home from work I made a quick stop for the important ingredients. Ordinarily I like to buy a more local brand of cheese and grate it myself but the already shredded stuff is OK for a weeknight.
Sometimes all it takes is one look to determine that something shouldn't be eaten raw, and chorizo falls into that category. I thought about putting it on a plate and setting it on the floor to see if Mrs. Chicken would accuse the dog of something.
I put it in my grill pan and cooked it over lump charcoal until it was thoroughly done and a lot of fat had been rendered.
I buttered one side of a flour tortilla, put some chorizo and cheese on the unbuttered side, and folded it over.
A perforated grill sheet works well for things like this. Smoke and heat still come through but it's much better than a grill grate at keeping everything flat and easily handled.
Even though I had tried to drain off as much fat as I could when I assembled them they were still a little oily, and Mrs. Chicken would've been much happier if I'd used the mild version of the chorizo instead of the picante. Still, they had a nice flavor and I'll definitely make them again sometime.

5 Ingredients: Hot Chocolate Cakeby Dana Angelo White in 5-Ingredient Recipes, February 14, 2011
Gooey chocolate cake in a perfectly-portioned package — what more could you ask for in a dessert?! This recipe is a little beyond our standard criteria for Healthy Eats desserts, so make it a special treat for your Valentine.
Hot Chocolate Cake
Serves: 8
1 stick unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon for ramekins
3/4 cup sugar, plus more for ramekins
4 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
5 large eggs
Nonstick cooking spray
Equipment: 8 (6-ounce) ramekins
No fat-free alternatives here, only the real thing will do. Using one stick for the recipe comes out to 1 tablespoon per person.
Less than 1 cup of sugar gives these cakes perfect texture and just enough sweetness.
Semisweet Chocolate
Semisweet chocolate has a pleasing balance of sweet and bitter – if you're a fan of a darker chocolate, use that instead.
You just need a little flour to bring these cakes together. For best results, use all-purpose, unbleached flour.
Eggs make the cakes moist, light and airy – they also help boost the protein to 6 grams per serving.
Preheat oven to 400-degrees F. Coat the inside of each ramekin with butter and sugar. Melt butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Set aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, combine eggs and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment; beat on medium speed until well combined. Add melted chocolate and mix on low until well incorporated. Mix in flour using a rubber spatula until just combined. Fill each ramekin halfway with batter and transfer to a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 16 minutes, until the tops are firm and just begin to crack. Serve warm.

Businesses in Otley are being warned to be on the lookout for counterfeit money.
The warning comes after a man passed on a fake £20 note at The Old Grammar School Gallery on the morning of Friday, February 7.
Gallery owner Zack Whitehead posted the photograph above of the note after spotting it wasn't genuine a few hours later.
Mr Whitehead said the person who had handed over the £20 was an "older man" who seemed to distract one of his employees on the cash register as he was paying.

Ivan Vladimirovich Michurin (Иван Владимирович Мичурин) October 15, 1855 – June 7, 1935), was a Russian practitioner of selection, Honorable Member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, and academician of the Lenin All-Union Academy of Agriculture. His theory of the influence of the environment on the heredity was a variant of Lamarckism and he was a proponent of the inheritance of acquired characteristics.
He maintained the position that the task of a selectioner is to assist and enhance the natural selection. The following phrase of Michurin's was widely popularized in the Soviet Union: "Мы не можем ждать милостей от природы. Взять их у нее – наша задача" ("We cannot wait for favors from Nature. To take them from it – that is our task.") For this reason, in the Soviet Union he was portrayed as the only true follower of Darwinism.
In 1875, Michurin leased a strip of land of about 500 square metres not far from Tambov, began collecting plants, and started his research in selection. In 1899, he acquired a much bigger strip of land of about 130,000 square metres and moved all of his plants there.
In 1920, right after the end of the Russian Civil War, Vladimir Lenin ordered People's Commissar of Agriculture Semion Sereda to organize an analytic research on Michurin's works and practical achievements. On September 11, 1922, Mikhail Kalinin visited Michurin at Lenin's personal request. On November 20, 1923, the Council of People's Commissars recognized Michurin's "fruit garden" as an institution of state importance. In 1928, the Soviets established a selectionist genetic station on the basis of Michurin's garden, which would be re-organized into the Michurin Central Genetic Laboratory in 1934.
Michurin made a major contribution in the development of genetics, especially in the field of pomology, increased fruit production. In his cytogenetic laboratory, he researched cell structure and experimented with artificial polyploidy. Michurin studied the aspects of heredity in connection with the natural course of ontogenesis and external influence, creating a whole new concept of predominance. He proved that predominance depends on heredity, ontogenesis, and phylogenesis of the initial cell structure and also on individual features of hybrids and conditions of cultivation. In his works, Michurin assumed a possibility of changing genotype under external influence.
Michurin was one of the founding fathers of scientific agricultural selection. He worked on hybridization of plants of similar and different origins, cultivating methods in connection with the natural course of ontogenesis, directing the process of predominance, evaluation and selection of seedlings, acceleration of process of selection with the help of physical and chemical factors.
Michurin's method of crossing of geographically distant plants would be widely used by other selectionists. He worked out theoretical basis and some practical means for hybridization of geographically distant plants. Michurin also proposed means for overcoming the genetic barrier of incompatibility during the process of hybridization, such as pollination of the young hybrids during their first florescence, preliminary vegetative crossing, use of a "mediator", pollination with the mix of different kinds of pollen etc.
Throughout all his life Michurin worked to create new sorts of fruit plants. He introduced over 300 new varieties.
During the Lysenkoism campaign, Michurin (after his death) was promoted as a Soviet leader in the theory of evolution, Soviet propaganda contrasting the "productive" "Soviet Michurinist Biology" (мичуринская биология) with the "fruitless" "capitalist" Weismanist-Morganist-Mendelist genetics.

Sorry, but I just have a small rant I need to let out. If it's not bad enough that my particularly busy schedule during the week has only been allowing me time to cook on the grill on weekends, it really drives me nuts that the one time this past week that I actually had an opportunity to fire up the egg ended up with an unforseen rainstorm that forced me to cook my already prepped chicken wings in the oven The sad thing is that, while they really had a good flavor from the rub and sauce, they badly lacked that cooked over live fire & smoke flavor that really makes BBQ/grilling what it is. While they really tasted great, they just were nowhere near as enjoyable as they would have been cooked on the egg (or any other grill for that matter).
Anyway, while eating that meal it really got me thinking about how many times I've heard folks say that "BBQ" cooked in the oven is just as good as if it were cooked on the grill, and I couldn't help but think that those people have probably never had the opportunity to really enjoy true BBQ.
Just hope that it's a very long time before I have to change plans due to weather again.

THERE will be plenty to do this year for lovers of the Malvern Hills now that the Conservators have released their programme of events for 2014.
And things kick off in fine style next Sunday, April 6, with a special dog walk led by qualified dog trainer and behaviourist Sue Harper. This is the ideal chance to pick up some top dog training tips and tricks whilst meeting other dog owners, although booking is essential.
The programme continues with a busy schedule right up until September, with events including reptile safaris, fungi forays and geology adventures.
Whether you want to brush up on your wildflower ID skills, or join a guided walk to hear the dawn chorus, get up close and personal with moths, or find out more about the grazing on the hills, there's something for everyone.
Beck Baker, the Conservators' deputy conservation officer, said: "2013 was the first year that MHC ran a programme of public events and it was a great success.
"We've now got another load of events organised for 2014 with something for everyone, whatever your interest, for people of all ages. We hope to see you there."
All the walks and activities are run by local experts and supported by Conservators' staff.
A list can be found at malvernhills.org.uk or facebook.com/malvernhillsconservators, at the Conservators' office in Grange Road or the Tourist Information Centre in Church Street.

Watch the 5 Best Sets From Coachella 2013's First Weekend
WHILE Manitobans are wondering when spring is going to come, the unofficial kickoff for the summer festival season happened last weekend in Indio, Calif., with the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Now spread out over two weekends to accommodate the swelling crowds that descend on the sun-baked valley to take in the acclaimed festival, the events' highlights are available online at YouTube.
While the rumoured surprise performance by electronic innovators Daft Punk didn't happen (the robotic duo did unveil parts of their new video with legendary Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers and Neptunes' frontman Pharrell Williams), there were some amazing performances and special appearances. From R&B star R. Kelly teaming up with indie rockers Phoenix to headlining performances by Brit-pop heroes Blur to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs showing why their new album is one of the most anticipated of the year, Coachella's opening weekend may not have featured Tupac holograms, but there was still plenty of pop culture buzz generated at the festival. Don't forget: you can catch some of the festival's live stream over the weekend at coachella.com.
Stream of the Week: 12 Year Retrospective Mix by Kasm
STARTED 12 years ago, Winnipeg's Balanced Records has played an important role in helping develop the local electronic scene. While the label has branched out since its humble beginnings as an outlet for documenting and promoting local electronic artists, it has never strayed too far from its original ideas about what Balanced could be.
With nearly 40 releases, one Juno win and an eclectic roster that includes locals such as Kasm and Billy Rockwell, Canadians including Rise Ashen and Citizen Sound and international producers such as Richie Phoe and Process Rebel, Balanced has managed to survive and grow in a very uncertain time in the music industry.
To celebrate Balanced's 12th anniversary, the Seed Organization, Solidaze, Equanim and Dualbeat's Justin Kace will be performing at Boa Lounge on Friday, April 19. Advance tickets are $10 at Music Trader and will be $12 at the door.
Video of the Week: Nile Rodgers: The Hit Maker
THE name Nile Rodgers may not be instantly recognizable these days, but his signature guitar sound surely is. From his endless hits with disco pioneers Chic to his work with David Bowie, Madonna, INXS and Duran Duran, Rodgers helped define the sound of the late '70s and '80s.
Most recently, he has contributed to Daft Punk's new album, Random Access Memories, opening up his detailed, groove-oriented guitar sound for a whole new generation.
Watch a fascinating hour-long BBC documentary on his role as one of the most influential guitarists in the music industry.

"We used a colorful print that had grey background hues, which complemented the text box portion of this card well. The designer helped us center our image and optimize it for printing. We are very happy with our purchase and can't wait to send these out! As others have said, keep in mind that these post cards are on the small side, but we knew that going in and thus got what we expected."
"My save the date cards came out perfect! I sent in a special request to have the right side have 2 smaller pics instead of just 1 pic on the ride side and the design team did an awesome job! I was very impressed at the quality. I cannot be more pleased!"
"My fiancée actually picked this design for our save the dates! I wasn't sold on it at first, but it was his favorite, and after we personalized it and made it look exactly how we wanted it to, I started to love it. Once they arrived in the mail, I was so impressed with the quality and how cute they turned out! I'm definitely glad we chose this design, and that we were able to do some things to make it our own. We will absolutely be returning to personalize and purchase formal invitations!"
"When I started to design the postcard, I was unsure & nervous how the finish product will turn out. One thing is the digital draft & another is physically having the example of it. When I finally confirmed the final finish, I started second guessing myself. Thinking it wouldn't look nice once it's printed. Thought about possibilities of just cancelling the order. Well shipping was a couple days early which was great. Once I received it & opened it I was very impressed & happy with the finished product. Turned out way better than the digital draft. So far, everyone who has received the save dates, have been giving me only but positive feedback on the design. Even the paper feels like a postcard. My fiancé & I are very pleased. It exceeded our expectations. I will definitely recommend to all my friends about this website. It's worth money, considering that it's more affordable than most websites."
"We are very happy with our daughter's Save the Date postcards. The design team helped us make it the best it could be and even changed the text color to match our now son-in-law's kilt! Thank you so much!"

The Crap We Missed – Monday 1.10.14
Welcome to Monday'sThe Crap We Missed which I feel awkward even posting because it doesn't have anything to do with old man molesters. Unless you count the entire target audience for the first and last pic of this gallery, Martin Scorsese just twisting the knife in Jonah Hill's side, this badass little kid (already on track to be an old man molester in the future), and Gene Simmons riding a mechanical bull, because yeah. Ok, in retrospect this thing is full of rapey shit, so I guess it fits right into today's the–
NOOO, OH GOD NO, NOT Bill Murray! Cosby, you sick bastard!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Florida craft brewers say their top goal in next spring's legislative session is to finally legalize half-gallon growlers.
But they say they fear that an effort to address several other issues - including distribution laws - might make it tougher to end the ban on the 64-ounce refillable beer jugs.
Half-gallon growlers are the industry standard and legal in 47 states, but Florida restricts beer to containers of 32 ounces or less, or to 128 ounces or more. Anything in between is illegal.
Beer distributors say they will support ending the ban on the growlers. But a fight could ensue if the growler issue is part of a larger bill that changes distribution laws.

Bhubaneswar, Oct 16 (IANS) Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik Wednesday sought an additional Rs.1,000 crore advance from the central government for relief and restoration work in the areas affected by cyclone Phailin.
"I request you to release an advance of Rs.1000 crore over and above the corpus of Rs.523 crore available in the State Disaster Response Fund for 2013-14 for relief and restoration work of immediate nature," Patnaik wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
"A detailed report in the form of a memorandum shall be presented after assessment of the damage," said the letter he sent Wednesday.
The very severe tropical cyclone in the Bay of Bengal struck Saturday night near Gopalpur in Ganjam district, about 180 km from the state capital Bhubaneswar.
It left a trail of destruction in the coastal districts. Heavy rain brought on by the cyclone triggered floods in Balasore, Mayurbhanj, Jajpur, Keonjhar and Bhadrak districts.
The cyclone affected at least one crore people while more than ten lakh people faced additional hardship when water from the major rivers and their tributaries submerged low-lying areas and entered habitations.
Thousands of people still remain stranded with their homes and livelihoods destroyed.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Expect beautiful weather for the middle of the workweek as high pressure builds into the Southeast. Dry air pushing into Southeast Georgia and Northeast Florida clears out our skies, lowers any rain chances, and allows for greater variation in temperature.
Clear skies Tuesday evening allowed for rapidly cooling temperatures that dropped into the low 50's. Smoke from the Pumpkin Hill Preserve fire settled overnight, reducing visibilities for some, and causing the acrid smell for many. Patchy fog was possible early Wednesday, especially if the winds remained calm around sunrise. After sunrise, the fog faded quickly as temperatures climbed thought the 50's and 60's during the morning hours. Most notably Wednesday, the winds picked up. Out of the East, and reached 10-15mph by Wednesday afternoon. A few clouds built up during the early afternoon hours, ahead of a few showers to the North of the State line Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday evening, those showers pushed into Northeast Florida, some lingered overnight.
Thursday, numerous showers and some strong thunderstorms push into Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. Rainfall totals will range between 1 and 3", and small hail is possible. Excessive lightning is possible, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. Straight line winds gust up to 30mph. Isolated power outages may occur, along with temporarily reduced visibilities on roadways during the height of the storms.
Meteorologist George Winterling says, "Our most severe thunderstorm/tornado activity usually occurs between February and May. The opposing factors that create these situations are (a) the warming of the atmosphere from the surface upward at the same time that the (b) the upper atmosphere is still cold. This instability is associated with the proverbial March lion who roars with the atmospheric turbulence and gusty surface winds.
With the tropical latitudes warming faster than the cooler parts of the U.S., the upper westerlies become stronger. Pools of cold air in upper troughs move rapidly eastward against tropical air, often creating squall lines with severe thunderstorms. Also, the freezing level is lower and our spring thunderstorms will frequently produce large hail, although the largest hail I've seen was 2 1/2 inch diameter clusters of marble size hail on June 30, 1960. The most unusual hail was one that covered downtown Jacksonville several inches deep on April 6, 1907. The hailstones drifted up to 6 inches deep in places.
When it comes to heavy rainfall such as the kind we had Palm Sunday weekend, it becomes rarer after the first week of April. Because of our near record cold March, we are in store for another round of heavy rain by Thursday night, probably 2 inches or more. After mid-April frontal rains will be less frequent as higher temperatures begin to approach 90 causing lower humidities. Spring rains will then be more scattered and limited to a rapid cold frontal passage or seabreeze convergence shower."
Some showers and storms may linger overnight, but the wet weather ends shortly after sunrise Friday, with clearing skies anticipated Friday afternoon, leading to a calm, quiet, sunny weekend.

....before I begin, I am going to request silence from Brad, Griffin, SCmustardman, SCBBQLVR, and the rest of you who have picked on me about my legs being skinny... I know what you were thinking as soon as you read the title.
Last night we decided that BBQ Pizza was long overdue. We just used some Pillsbury thin crust pizza dough...nothing fancy. They were topped with BBQ Sauce, Cheddar Cheese, Pulled Pork that I had previously smoked, Caramelized Onions and Bacon.
One had tomato-based BBQ Sauce...
And for the other pizza, we used some Shealy's Mustard-Based BBQ Sauce....Lord have mercy, it was goooood!
Tonight's a bachelor night for me, as my wife is keeping her Grandmother company since my M.I.L. is out of town. So that meant something spicy was definitely in store! Decided on 2 different styles of Chicken Legs.....Spicy Teriyaki and Walkerswood Jerk!
Used my Leg Rack tonight, and threw in some Cherry wood for smoke.....Smoke roasted them at around 375 deg f dome temp. I didn't glaze the Teriyaki legs until towards the end...
Had a simple Caesar Salad to go with and I ate in the kitchen with no plate, like a true bachelor.
That Walkerswood Jerk Marinade will leave you sweatin'!! It sure is good though.
