The roots of ViTA DMF date back to the early 1990’s with a chance encounter between a young clinical psychologist, Skip Rizzo, Ph.D., and a 20 year-old brain injury patient playing a Gameboy device.
Skip noticed that his patient, who had struggled to maintain attention during traditional rehab therapies, was held rapt by the game on his handheld toy. Skip began to incorporate gaming into rehab regimens and quickly realized the enormous untapped potential of gaming technology to help patients.
In 1995, Dr. Rizzo joined the faculty at USC where he could leverage the institution’s considerable strengths in computer science, engineering and cinematic arts to pioneer the use of virtual technologies for therapeutic applications. And in 1999, the USC Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT) was born.
In 1992, around the time of Skip’s epiphany about the potential clinical applications of gaming technology, Dan and Claire Marino’s second son, Michael, was diagnosed with autism. Concerned about the lack of autism resources for families in South Florida, Dan and Claire founded The Dan Marino Foundation (DMF).
Since its inception, the Foundation has been at the forefront of creating and supporting innovative solutions to problems that diminish the quality of life of people on the autism spectrum. At the core of the Foundation’s mission is helping people with autism and other developmental disabilities gain employment-a seemingly intractable problem across the United States.
In 2010, when the Foundation learned about Skip’s use of virtual reality (VR) to help soldiers recover from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a software program called “Virtual Iraq,” discussions began about how similar VR technologies could be adapted to assist people on the autism spectrum secure employment. Through its innovative research fund, the Marino Autism Research Institute, or MARI, the Foundation provided seed funding to the ICT for the initial development of ViTA DMF-the Virtual Interactive Training Agent.
In 2013, The Dan Marino Foundation (DMF) secured a legislative appropriation from the Department of Education to pilot the Inclusive Transition & Employment Management Program (ITEM).
ViTA DMF became the centerpiece of the VITA Virtual Reality Career Lab at The Dan Marino Foundation’s Marino Campus site in Fort Lauderdale.
ViTA DMF proved to be a powerful tool to help the Campus’ students gain the skills necessary for employment. 61% (44 out of 72) of ViTA DMF participants were employed, far exceeding the national employment rate of 17.6% for persons with disabilities (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014).
In 2014, DMF invested in the development of a portable model of the system that could be installed onto any laptop or PC at greatly reduced cost in both equipment and man power.

Social HRMS can be a powerful tool with many benefits. It does require extra time and attention to manage it but the expected and unexpected benefits can far outweigh the time cost. If you are considering social HRMS, here are three lesser known productivity benefits that can be the final piece of your business case for new software.
Social HRMS is a wonderful mechanism with which to create the traditional water cooler or coffee machine meetups. Some of your best employee brainstorming comes in these informal settings. Social HRMS allows you to recreate this environment on a global scale.
Encourage your social HRMS as a place where employees can connect. Often companies promote employee feedback and interaction through official means like surveys and organized sessions. Some of your best ideas can come through chance conversations and social HRMS is a method to achieve that casual interaction. If you’re implementing social HRMS for the first time, try to put out conversation starters or use social ambassadors to cause interest.
Many employees are connected through established social media platforms in professional and nonprofessional channels. Some employees choose not to participate in these options as they find them invasive in their personal lives. Others prefer not to mix their work life with their free time and will not connect with colleagues on these sites. A social HRMS is an easy way to bring together your employees in a non-threatening and non-intrusive environment.
You’ll find that employees will move faster through Tuckman’s group development phase of ‘forming’ as you start new project teams. Team members can connect through social HRMS and learn about each other before a new project kicks off. It will help them to create a positive team environment even before a project formally begins.
Many companies find their HRMS usage happens in peaks and troughs. Busy times like open enrollment will see high utilization. Employees will use the HRMS for viewing paychecks but might not need it otherwise unless they have a life event like a birth or adoption. When your HRMS is also a social platform, however, you’ll see daily log-ins as employees check for new discussions and comments.
As acceptance grows you may experience that it’s the first application that employees log in to in the morning. As employees use your HRMS more it extends to increased uptake in other areas like online training or recommending a job candidate. Better usage is a win-win for both your employees and your company.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) The matchup between the resurgent Badgers and Hawkeyes lived up to its billing - with Wisconsin sophomore D'Mitrik Trice stepping up to hit the game's biggest basket after star Ethan Happ fouled out.
Trice scored 20 points, including a crucial 3 with 20 seconds left, and 22nd-ranked Wisconsin held off No. 14 Iowa 72-66 on Friday night in the Big Ten opener for both teams.
Ethan Happ had 13 points, seven boards and five assists for the Badgers (7-1), who handed the Hawkeyes their first loss of the season in a back-and-forth affair.
''To come in here and to be able to get this one in league play in November, I think it shows some signs that we're trending in the right direction,'' Wisconsin coach Greg Gard said.
With the Badgers up 65-63, Trice - who led the nation at 60 percent on 3s entering play - hit his 3-pointer just after Happ picked up his fifth foul. Jordan Bohannon answered with a quick 3 for Iowa (6-1), but Wisconsin was able to seal it at the line.
The presence of Trice, who missed the last 23 games in 2017-18 because of a foot injury, has keyed Wisconsin's hot start after a disappointing season a year ago.
Freshman Joe Wieskamp blocked Trice's 3-point try and turned it into a 3-point play and a 61-60 Iowa lead on other end. Brevin Pritzl got open in the corner though, burying a huge 3 with 1:35 left to put Wisconsin back up by 2. Happ then got around Iowa's Luka Garza for a scoop to make it 65-61 with 51 seconds left.
Iowa opened the second half on a 16-9 run and led by as much as eight, but Wisconsin had it back even at 54-all with just over 8 minutes left.
Tyler Cook had 19 points and a career-high 15 rebounds for the Hawkeyes, who were just 6 of 24 on 3s.
''We didn't some things down the stretch that we wanted to do. We also did some things we wanted to do...just didn't make the basket. That's frustrating,'' Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said.
Iowa: The Hawkeyes, much like they did in Tuesday's 69-68 win over Pittsburgh, have shown the ability to fight when things don't always go their way. That trait was AWOL in 2017-18, when they went 4-14 in the regular season in the Big Ten. ''I thought we fought,'' McCaffery said.
Wisconsin: The Badgers acquitted themselves well in what will likely go down as one of the toughest environments they'll play in all season - and Trice continues to be a revelation.
Wisconsin will likely jump a few spots, and Iowa - after struggling to put away Pitt - should tumble at least a few spots.
Iowa center Luka Garza had 11 points but just three rebounds, and Bohannon finished with 11 points for the Hawkeyes. ...Ptitzl's 3 was just his second of the game. He had 12 points. ...Outside of Trice, who was 4 of 8 on 3s, the Badgers were just 4 of 16 beyond the arc. ...Iowa had just nine assists on 23 made baskets. ...Davison had nine points and four rebounds for Wisconsin - but the Badgers were a team high plus-12 when he was on the floor.
Iowa plays at No. 9 Michigan State on Monday.
Wisconsin hosts Rutgers on Monday.

text: One question that has often been asked is how many translations of the UDC exist? A lack of recent data is one obstacle to a full evaluation of the UDC's potential application in global information exchange. The question of translation has been raised by many stakeholders interested in the use of the classification. This paper reports on research undertaken in 2004 aimed at establishing the current number of UDC translations in different languages, their form/format and the date these were last reported. The research was completed in September 2004 and was based on relevant literature research, bibliographic surveys and e-mail interviews with cataloguing agencies and library schools world-wide. The objective of this report is to give an overview of translation activity over the past three decades providing additional background information where appropriate. A list of the last reported translations into 39 languages is given. The bibliography provided includes the most recent editions in many languages and a few references in languages for which there is only a single translation. This was included irrespective of the date for historical reasons. The survey was part of independent academic research at University College London. The hope is that this report will raise further discussion, resulting in more data that the UDC user community can share.

I read with distaste Tom Fletcher’s column, “Recall descends into ugly farce”, published in the Jan. 20 issue. In my opinion, his column is an example of the worst kind of journalism.
Is it not true that good columnists present their opinions based on facts?
On the issue of the HST recall campaign he goes on to write phrases like, “The rough beast of recall . . ., the rank smell . . ., venomous venture . . ., Vander Zalm also muttered . . ., HST clown car . . .” among other phrases showing his own bias.
On the other side of the coin he described the Chief Electoral Officer, Mr. James, in glowing terms. No doubt, the man is a mild-mannered and a decent individual. However, the point is that Fletcher’s column is so full of biases not supported by fact, that it carries no credibility.
I know we have to pay for the government services we demand. Taxes are the main means of payment, but is the HST the fairest way to tax the people of this province? Does it not place a disproportionate burden on young families and the elderly on fixed incomes? Was the HST announced in an up front, honest way with efforts made to engage the populace in a debate? Were it not for these reasons I would not have signed the HST form.
I do not necessarily like the recall provision. It should be used only in situations that threaten the fabric of democracy in a very real sense.
I condemn threats made to anyone. Abusive writing and slandering those of whose agenda we do not approve is distasteful to me. Fletcher’s column does both. I would have liked to have heard him report specific, unbiased facts about the recall’s failures and successes to this date.
Rather than comparing the recall campaign to the threatening U.S. political scene, it would have been appropriate to point out the negative and positive aspects of recall to this province in any situation.

So my temperature gauge on the dash is below the middle mark and above the 1/4 way, even when idling. The blowers inside the car never get that hot and I believe the fan never comes in the engine.
I replaced the thermostat with a cheapy off eBay, which didn't have a jiggle pin and wasn't a perfect fitment. With this thermostat it's still idling in the same manner.
I've read a lot into it, most people suggest 9 times out of 10 it's the thermostat. While others said it might be the sensor but that's been checked and is working fine.
The blowing not hot I'd be suspicious of but the temp gauge sounds possibly normal.
Mine is much the same BazzM993 as regards the temp gauge position?
When stone cold and not been run for several days, the needle is 1/4 below the 'C' mark?
5 mins and then gets unbearable at normal operating temp (Engine) on only 1st position of fan speed! so I think you deffo have some prob there????
Iirc this is the only mechanical/cable control, all the other push button controls operate on stepper motors i think? (two in total?) one for the vent to outside air, and the other for air direction controls?
You could confirm function when engine warm, by removing either of the kickpanels forward of center console and feel heater casing?
My engine cooling fan only comes on after a spirited drive followed by 5 mins idleing with bonnet closed, it then cycles like this if left to idle every 3-4 mins or so until turned off!
car ever warms up at all :( brass monkeys anyone????
Have you confirmed the operation of cooling fan by removing CTS connector while engine running? fan should operate at any temp? (Iirc this is a fail safe?) DONT FORGET TO RE CONNECT after this test!
You mentioned the operation of the 'SENSOR' to have been 'CHECKED'?
but which? the temp gauge sensor (small single wire) black in colour,or the CTS sensor (large two wire) grey in colour?

September 29th was National Coffee Day and I celebrated with songs about coffee or tea – some of them peripherally, I confess. I also tossed in a few highly-caffeinated performances and songs. If caffeine songs don’t work, I may have to consider paying my audience to stay awake.
Did you miss the show? You might want to increase your caffeine intake so you can stick with me. Click here and then click on my name in the drop-down menu to listen to last week’s show.

There is a change afoot at the helm of the CW’s veteran drama series Supernatural. Sera Gamble, who has been with the show since the beginning, serving as co-showrunner alongside Robert Singer for the past two seasons, will be stepping down. Word is that she opted not to renew her contract to focus on development. Jeremy Carver, executive producer/co-showrunner of Syfy’s Being Human, is joining Supernatural as an executive producer and will co-run the series with Singer next season. The CW has not made any formal renewal decisions yet but Supernatural is one of the network’s stronger ratings performers and is fully expected to return in the fall.
I don't care as long as they still come back next season and they do something else with their story. This season has been bad with them loosing both of their side kicks and now it's just the two of them like in the beginning and I wish they would build up some more characters around them.

The slogan of Madarao Ski Resort in Nagano Japan is Mad-a-pow, a term that the Powderhounds coined back in 2014 when we first caught a bad case of Mad Pow disease atMadarao Kogen. Obviously, we were keen to get back there to go crazy in the powder.
As we arrived at the Madarao Kogen Hotel on Boxing Day to meet the famous Toru, it had just started snowing steadily, and a couple of hours later when we walked down the road to Aki’s Café the snow was shin deep. After dinner it was knee deep! The snow kept dumping all night, and after breakfast we skied down to the ski area to find out that it had snowed 1 metre overnight. Whoah!!
The powder was soooo deep on that first day at Madarao that it was initially difficult to find slopes that were steep enough to maintain momentum, and if we stopped to take photos or video, the ski poles almost disappeared under the snow and it took a bit of work to get going again. But it was oh sooo worth the effort, because the face shots just kept coming thick and fast. The snow was flying everywhere so it was definitely the ideal day to have the bib and brace pants on and the pit zips up.
Meanwhile, the poor GroPro could barely take much footage because it was constantly caked in snow. This was storm skiing at its best because barely anyone else was hitting the trees - not many others were "silly enough to head out when it was snowing so hard!"
The next morning we awoke to find out that it had snowed another 50-60cm overnight. Ridiculous! This was probably our favourite day at Madarao because the super deep powder had consolidated enough to make it easier to gain some speed. It was the 28th of December and supposedly the absolute peak of the season, yet still barely anyone was out skiing the powder. Where was everyone? Oh well, their loss and our gain! It was like the best heliskiing ever, for just the cost of a lift ticket.
For the third day, it had only snowed a lazy 20-30cm overnight, and the sun was starting to peek through. A few more people had finally decided to venture out, so we spent most of our time at the inter-connected ski resort of Tangram. Thankfully it wasn’t difficult to findfresh powder in the trees and we even scored first tracks down an open piste, which was magical bliss! We were pleasantly shattered at the end of yet another powder day, and it was time to deal with the van, which was completely buried in snow. Obviously it took a while to dig out the van, but it was a small price to pay for skiing at Madarao during a big snow storm and scoring the famous Mada-pow!

This week, the General Assembly took action in moving forward substantial proposals dealing with health care, immigration, and school testing. The Governor announced a personnel policy change intended, in part, to reduce gender pay disparities in state government. In all, 332 bills were filed this week – 93 in the House and 239 in the Senate. The bill filing deadline in the Senate was Wednesday, April 3, while House members still have several weeks to file bills.
On Wednesday, House Bill 184 cleared the House by a vote of 75-36. The bill calls for a study of the State Health Plan’s financial sustainability and halts a proposal by the State Treasurer (who oversees the Plan) to implement changes to how the Plan reimburses medical providers. The vote was somewhat unusual in that it received both significant support and opposition from both parties. The “aye” votes included 41 Democrats and 34 Republicans, whereas the “nay” votes included 27 Republicans and 9 Democrats. The bill now heads to the Senate.
On Wednesday, House Bill 370 cleared the House by a vote of 63-51. The bill would require North Carolina sheriffs to hold prisoners subject to U.S. Department of Homeland Security detainers. The bill comes after the election victories in 2018 of sheriffs in several counties who had pledged not to honor the detainers issued by ICE. In recent months, newly elected sheriffs in at least five of the state’s urban counties (Buncombe, Durham, Forsyth, Mecklenburg, and Wake) had announced they would stop honoring ICE detainers. The bill passed on a party-line vote, despite last minute opposition from the North Carolina Sheriffs’ Association.
On Wednesday, the House voted overwhelming in favor of a bill to reduce the amount of mandatory testing in North Carolina public schools. House Bill 377 passed by a vote of 110-2. The bill would replace or eliminate some mandatory exams, would prohibit local school districts from giving standardized tests not required by the State Board of Education, and would prohibit school districts from requiring high school students to complete a graduation project. The bill now heads to the Senate, where a separate proposal to reduce school testing, Senate Bill 621, was filed on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, Governor Cooper signed an executive order prohibiting state agencies under his control from asking about salary history during the hiring process. The move coincided with Equal Pay Day. It is argued that reliance on salary history in determining the salary of a newly hired employee perpetuates and exacerbates the gender pay gap.

Children need exercise. – Children want to learn.
Children need freedom. – Children need rules.
Children need challenge. – Children need success.
Children need competition. – Children need friends.
About 90 Percent of the taekwondo players worldwide are children. Nevertheless the existing taekwondo federations deal only with the needs of junior and adult high-performance athletes, to a small degree with taekwondo as a popular sport for juniors and adults.
The aim of the world CTU is to bridge this gap and to develop taekwondo as an ideal sport for children.
Until now children in Taekwondo are treated either as young adults. Often children, but also their parents and coaches develop an unhealthy ambition. As a result these young players burn out easily.
Or children in Taekwondo are treated just as children – Taekwondo is like a game for them, an exchangeable spare time activity. Children and parents do not identify with the sport and after some time they choose another recreational activity.
In both cases the children are lost for Taekwondo. The aim of the world CTU is to provide guidelines for a child oriented Taekwondo and to create a strong bond between these children and their sport – a bond that lasts for life.

On February 10, Eritrea observes Fenkil Day. This observance commemorates the Second Battle of Massawa, also known as the Fenkil Offensive, that was one of the most important battles of the Eritrean War for Independence.
Before World War II, Eritrea was an Italian colony, part of the so-called Italian East Africa. After the war, it was made a British protectorate. In 1952, the United Nations declared to federate it to Ethiopia. In the early 1960s, the federation was dissolved by Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie. He annexed Eritrea which triggered a 30-year war for independence.
The Eritrean War for Independence started on September 1, 1961. In 1970, a group of left-wing intellectuals founded the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF), an armed organization that struggled for the country's independence.
On February 8, 1990 the EPLF forces began the offensive against the Ethiopian army near the city of Massawa. The attack took the Ethiopian military by surprise. On the third day of the offensive, the EPLF forces captured the city.
EPLF victory in the Second Battle of Massawa is considered to be a huge step towards the country's independence therefore its anniversary is an important remembrance day in Eritrea, although not a public holiday.

My Grandmother died in 9/11 I never meet her since I was born in 2004.
It’s fine I’m completely over it but I was crying a lot just because 9/11 is honestly so sad our History teacher said in the towers people had two choices one to jump into the fire or jump out of the building and it’s so sad I couldn’t stop thinking about it all day.
yee. it’s fun I guess. i don’t really do much poetry but this was fun.
I was just thrift shopping and made the biggest steal on these Guess jeans!!
my little sister is turning 9 tomorrow (oct.7) and she is having a 90’s party!

Mythic, worshipped in Sumer (modern-day Iraq), circa 3500–2500 B.C.E.
Ninhursaga (Ninhursag) was the Sumerian equal of Aruru. Also called Ki (“earth”) and “Lady of the Foothills,” she was the wife of Enki, god of culture, and with him created plant life, embodied by her daughter Ninsar, goddess of the pasture. Ninhursaga was also wed to Enlil, half brother of Enki, and bore many children by him, one of which was Ninurta, the mighty hunter.

Acidic foods are those with a low-PH – they tend to be very tart or sour when eaten in high quantities and they can have some negative side effects. Whilst many foods vary in PH and some acidic foods do have other health-positive qualities, we might want to avoid them if we suffer from indigestion, heart burn, acid reflux or any variety of dental conditions. Or simply if we want nice teeth!
Orange juice is a favorite beverage in the UK and US, but it has a high acidity due to the high concentrations of added sugar and the fact that the orange, itself, is a highly-acidic citrus fruit. Despite the vitamins that we might get by drinking large quantities, this will damage the teeth and cause excessive sugar intake.
2. Citrus fruits: Lemons and Limes esp.
Why anyone would choose to eat lemons and limes by themselves totally escapes us: they taste acidic. However, to those who do this, it is important to remember that the concentrated juice of citrus fruits like lemon and lime are around a 2-2.5 on the Ph scale, making them incredibly acidic. These are the most acidic fruits that don’t cause serious digestive problems. Eating too many is asking for trouble.
Sour grapes or not, we should be careful consuming too many grapes as they are profoundly acidic. With an average PH in the low-3s, depending on the colour and age, grapes can cause serious damage to tooth enamel, especially among those who have been clinically-diagnosed as at risk for such problems.
Sauerkraut is a form of pickled cabbage popular in central-eastern Europe and has been paired with a variety of foods such as wurst in German culinary culture. The problem, however, is that the pickling process is already a cause for acidity and the fact that cabbage is already an acidic vegetable means that it is even more of a problem – Sauerkraut may be poor for both the teeth and the digestive system.
White bread has had an awful few years in terms of publicity: refined carbohdyrates are both metabolically-unpleasant and mildly acidic. The grains that are generally used to create these products are degrading and fermenting from the start. White bread is just one example, but a variety of other foodstuffs such as flour-based cakes are also mildly acidic.
Some cuts of pork are also acidic – the fattier, lower-quality cuts are associated with greater acidity content. Whilst this may suggest a slight reduction in pork, the real problem is associated with the consumption of heavily-processed “pork products” such as hot dogs. These foods are both acidic and linked to the increased chance of developing colorectal cancer.
As with pork, some low-quality cuts of beef, or those which are not particularly fresh or fed on low-quality feed, will be considerably higher in acidity than their healthier counterparts. Consuming heavily processed or poor-quality beef (below grade-A, for example) may mean consuming unexpected quantities of acidic food.
Alcohol is acidic by definition: alcohols are ethanol combined with sugar. Ethanol is an acid and is responsible for the alcohol content of a wide variety of alcohols, produced through the fermentation process of either fruits or grains. Fermenting causes various compounds in the original foods to break down and become acidic. There are many reasons to ditch alcohol and this is just one of them.
Vinegar is high in acetic acid, with quantities concentrations of around 3-9%. This means that excessive consumption of vinegar will not dry your veins out, but it will damage the teeth and possibly the stomach depending on the individual’s health.
Wine is an alcohol and acidic by definition, but white wine is especially bad, given the concentration of fermented white grapes – the more acidic variety of grapes. The fermentation of grapes is a combination of two red flags and means we should definitely avoid white wine, even more than alcohol more generally.
Mass-produced, HCF-based soft drinks are common in the English-speaking world and are awful for a variety of reasons. Firstly, the full-sugar, HCF-based drinks are acidic due to the high content of refined sugar. The diet versions, however, are associated with the acidity of their sweeteners (this will depend on the specific sweetener that is used).
We’ve already discussed how vinegar is an incredibly acidic substance, so it is unsurprising that pickling otherwise-healthy foods in vinegar might make them more acidic. Avoid foods such as pickled eggs, olives or pickles which have been stewed in vinegar. If olives aren’t a strong enough taste without adding acid to them, you may have deeper problems!
As mentioned above, the vast majority of sweeteners are also acidic, composed of various synthetical chemicals with a low Ph (not that being synthetic is a bad thing in itself). These are contained in a wide variety of products: whilst they may generally be better for health than sugars, they are far from perfect and should be limited among those who are acid-sensitive.
A testament to the fact that not all acidic foods should be avoided, pecans are an example of a perfectly healthy food that may have negative effects on those who are worried about their dental health or acid reflux, as they are both acidic and high in fat.
Finally, it is important to avoid low-quality oils – not only are they acidic but they are highly concentrated sources of low-quality polyunsaturated oils. Canola, for example, should be reduced in the diet where possible. Focus should be placed on consuming healthier oils such as olive oil.
We’ve listed some of the most acidic foods that are commonly eaten. It is important to remember that this does not mean that we should always avoid these foods, but that we should closely monitor our intake – especially if we suffer from digestive acidity problems or dental conditions – and ensure that a proper balance of foods is consumed at any given time. Humans are slightly acidic by composition and the acidity of food does not mean that it is unhealthy or bad, simply that it is constituted by a high number of H– molecules – whilst these might affect our health they are not a fool-proof method of structuring a diet. For example, pecans are a healthy food despite their acidity.

Desire as it is now often described is the cosmological principle of our secular age. It is our natura naturans: it moves the stars in their courses, plumps the hazel shells, causes tumesence in mammalian sexual organs and, thanks to its inexhaustible capacity for displacement and sublimation, is the vitalising agent in art, science, religion, business, economics, politics and international relations. Under earlier metaphysical dispensations, desire had many names: it was eros and agape; it was love, lust, appetite, gluttony, cupidity, concupiscence, covetousness, ambition; it was need, wish, urge, impulse; it was hankering, longing, yearning, yen. The names of desire changed as its objects changed, and desires directed towards objects of a suprapersonal or supraterrestrial kind were distinguished by a special nomenclature from mere instinctual agitations. Nowadays this untidy multitude of forces is often perceived as a single force, and the welter of names is often casually condensed into a single name.
A book seen, which was not mine, but which I’ll need to get my own copy of. Intriguing title but this — from its introduction — sold it to me.
