Neosporin is the brand name for an over-the-counter drug that contains the antibiotics bacitracin, neomycin, and polymixin B.
Neosporin Plus Pain Relief contains these three ingredients plus the pain reliever pramoxine.
Neosporin is available in cream or ointment form. It's applied to a cut or burn to prevent a skin infection.
Several Neosporin products are on the market, but not all of them contain antibiotics.
For example, white petroleum is the active ingredientin Neosporin Lip Health Overnight Renewal Therapy. Neosporin for Eczema contains colloidal oatmeal.
Neosporin ointment and cream belong to group of drugs called topical antibiotics. They kill bacteria by keeping the germs from the protein they need to build cell walls.
First manufactured by Citron Pharma, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Neosporin as a prescription drug in 1971.
Citron Pharma first manufactured the drug. Today Johnson & Johnson owns the brand.
The bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes contribute to some cases of acne.
According to some anecdotal reports, Neosporin is a beneficial home remedy because it contains antibiotics that may kill P. acnes.
To date, studies of the benefits of Neosporin in treating acne have not been done.
Also, depending on the condition of your skin and its sensitivity, applying Neosporin may actually worsen breakouts.
That's because the inactive ingredients in the product may irritate skin or clog pores.
Also, the antibiotics in Neosporin may not be effective againstthe strains of P. acnes that are contributing to acne in your particular situation.
Whether Neosporin is safe to use on your pets remains a subject of debate.
Some experts state that Neosporin is a safe option to treat your pet's minor cuts or scrapes for up to four days.
If the wounds haven't improved in this time, take your pet to the vet.
Other experts warn against using Neosporin on pets, because dogs and cats like to lick or pick at the area the ointment or cream covers, and it may be harmful when swallowed.
Don't take Neosporin if you're allergic to Neosporin or any of the ingredients in the drug.
Ask your doctor about Neosporin if you have myasthenia gravis.
Do not apply the cream form to an open wound.
Some Neosporin products may not be safe to use during pregnancy, and doctors do not know whether or not it's safe for your unborn child.
In generally, doctors consider Neosporin safe to use while breastfeeding.
If you're pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding talk to your doctor before using Neosporin.
Neosporin doesn't usually interact with other drugs. Nevertheless, tell your doctor and pharmacist all the medications you're taking.
This includes prescriptions and over-the-counter (OTC) medications, vitamins and other dietary supplements (nutritional shakes, protein powders, etc.), herbal remedies, and illegal and recreational drugs.
Also, even though Neosporin contains neomycin, it doesn't interact with the pneumonia vaccine the way that oral neomycin does.
You can apply a thin film of Neosporin to the irritated or injured skin one to three times a day.
The ointment form may be applied to most open wounds, but the cream should not be used on broken skin.
If you have been using Neosporin on a wound and forget to apply it, use it as soon as you remember.
If it's almost time for the next application, skip the missed one and use it at the regular time.

"Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven." — Matthew 5:14-16 (The Message)
Here at camp, we've thought a lot this past year about fire. The awesome and destructive power of fire was on full display this past fall. Unfortunately, we have a number of sister camps that were impacted by the fires. But while this power isn't always destructive – it powers many of our cars and has even taken humankind to the moon – it is most assuredly always magnificent in power. Humanity has always been fascinated by this power, and perhaps the most amazing quality of this power is that it always starts with just one spark.
And here we have arrived at this year's theme – "It only takes a spark". A spark is a meager thing. Fire, in its infancy, is so very fragile. If you have ever attempted to start a fire without a match, you know this. It takes hard work to nurse a fire to health; and even then, there are many perils and dangers along the way – if the wood is too wet, or there is rain, or it's too windy – your flame is liable to go out. But from this humble beginning – just a spark, proceeds all the strength which fire can muster.
There is one special quality that Jesus choose to focus in on regarding fire here in this passage – light. The original hearers of the "Sermon on the Mount" knew only one source of light – fire, specifically, oil-lamps. Their sole source of casting out the darkness was a small flame, as is has been for most generations throughout history. And yet, when that one flame is combined with the light of another, and then another, and so forth, we can provide light for the entire world to see. We become as a city on a hill – "a million lights to see".
This year, we aim for all campers to walk away carrying their lights just a little bit higher – for all their friends and families to see. And when their light is combined with that of their home churches, how brilliantly will they shine in their communities? In their schools? Our goal is to send forth children and youth back into the world with the confidence and tools to shine a little bit more brightly; to experience the power of God that much more in their lives; to reflect the ultimate flame that lights our lives – the Son.
Will you join us this year? Will you help us in igniting a spark here in the Bay Area? We invite you to join us in this journey…Below are some links to help you identify how to get involved.
Whether you are the first-time parent of a camper, or a pro, you will find lots of useful information here.

Denver is located in western North Carolina, midway between Charlotte and Hickory, on the west side of Lake Norman in East Lincoln County, providing access to an easy commute and the beautiful lake.
The history of the area dates beck to before the Revolutionary War, when the Catawba Indians lived along the Catawba River and the Cherokees lived to the west. Pioneers Sherrill and Beatty came to the area from 1747-1749, and the well-known areas of Sherrill's Ford and Beatty's Ford are named for them. The Battle of Cowan's Ford took place during the Revolutionary War just a few miles south of what's now Denver. At first, Denver was known as "Dry Pond," but in 1873 was renamed for the capital of Colorado, as it was being considered for entry into the union, according to legend.
Denver was largely a farming community, but now is full of new homes and businesses, while still retaining its small-town feel. The area is known for the historic Rock Springs Camp Meeting, a religious gathering held annually since 1830. In May, Denver holds its annual Strawberry Festival and in September its annual "Denver Days" Fall Festival put on by the Rotary Club, offering rides, food, business booths and entertainment – great fun for residents and visitors! Children in Denver attend the Lincoln County School System, and can attend the wonderful sports programs offered at the local Optimists Club Park. Neighbors can shop at the Lincoln County Farmers Market in Denver for delicious local fruits, vegetables, fresh pork, chicken and eggs, bedding plants, ornamental plants, and meet with local artisans and other visitors for great conversation! Nestled under the tree canopy at Rock Springs School, they operate during the spring, summer and early autumn.

Exquisite Esther yearns for vain Van in... Easy to Love (1953)
Thrill of a Romance and Easy to Wed, and I've always credited Johnson with being one of Esther's best partners. They were both sweet, funny, down-to-Earth people with winsome personas and as Esther herself said, they looked like they belonged together. EtL earns its title by giving its leading lady three romantic interests: Johnson, Tony Martin, and John Bromfield. Whoever will she pick?
This may shock you, but EtL wasn't originally written as an Esther Williams flick. It seems so perfect for her now, yet its first star was supposed to be Lana Turner, with the movie being a straight drama. Super weird to consider, right? A good deal of EtL was filmed in Winter Haven, Florida at Cypress Gardens. For production, the Gardens built a new pool shaped like the state of Florida, which came to a cool $50,000 (and that's 1952 money!).
Before shooting began, Williams found out she was pregnant. While the news thrilled her, she dreaded telling the film's producer, Joe Pasternak. This wasn't the first time Esther had to rush through a production because of a pregnancy, and poor Pasternak always had to figure out ways to rearrange shooting to accommodate the star. Honestly, you can't tell watching EtL that Esther was expecting -- she's typically wearing a tight bathing suit or figure-hugging clothes. They must have gotten the film done before Williams started to show. Let's get to it!
Ray believes he took Julie and made her into a merchandise-selling sensation, ignoring the fact that maybe she had something to do with it. He takes Barnes on a tour of the grounds, going by a photo shoot for Palm Beach. Barnes asks why they don't photograph it in Palm Beach, Ray responding that this is "more realistic." Aren't the studio system vibes just washing over you now? Ray wants Barnes to meet Julie, but their stop at her dressing room turns into yet another fight between her and Ray. Julie is completely exhausted -- every moment she has is spent working for
This routine had a great appearance in The Tender Trap (1955), a comedy directed by EtL's Charles Walters. Frank Sinatra and Debbie Reynolds discover themselves alone at her house, but Sinatra's amorous ideas are blocked by Reynolds. Trying to find something else to focus on, they turn on the television and happen upon this swim sequence. The sensuality of the piece doesn't help relieve the tension at all, leading to some pretty funny reactions from Sinatra and Reynolds.
Walking to her changing room to get into another outfit, Julie bumps into singer Barry Gordon (Martin). As he picks up her fallen hat, Barry gets quite a look at Julie and he is instantly intrigued. She says thanks and goes on her way, while Barry humorously poses for his new album cover in just one shot. He then runs into Ted, a guy from the chorus of one of Barry's shows, who says he is there to shoot a lipstick ad with Julie. With mischief in his eyes, Barry gets rid of Ted so when Ray calls for him, Barry innocently says Ted just left but he'd be willing to fill in for the guy. Ray is thrilled -- Barry Gordon posing for free? Hooray for extra publicity!
"Didja Ever," a catchy little tune that has Barry charming Julie from the start. Ray isn't charmed, however, snarkily stating that Barry "probably can't even swim." Starry-eyed, Julie replies "I'd love to teach him." Barry then croons the gorgeous "Look Out, I'm Romantic" and Julie melts. Finally jealous, Ray makes Julie leave, a tactic that doesn't work at all because the minute she gets to her hotel room, Barry calls her up.
I adore the camerawork here. It focuses on Julie's feet as she initially throws her heels off, but then puts them back on as she talks to Barry, despite her protests that she couldn't possibly go back out on the town at this last hour. The camera cuts to two other pairs of feet doing a magnificent dance that we only get to see from the waist down. As the feet move, we see Julie's feet in the background, tapping along to the beat.
The following routine is one of Esther's simplest. Wearing a crisp, white, sparkly bathing suit in crystal clear blue water, Julie does a few dives and strikes some poses against the glass walls of the pool, all with a shining smile. Afterwards, in her dressing room, Barry tells her she is hired for the producer's show, and at a better salary too! Julie is happy with the offer, but she is very nervous to tell Ray that she is quitting.
At the hotel, Ray picks her up for the Citrus Queen pageant. She wins, of course, but she falls asleep as she accepts the honor, which doesn't make Ray too happy.
He kisses her on the cheek and assures her that Cypress Gardens will always be open to her. It's quite a performance, and one that we can tell Julie falls for hook, line, and sinker.
here; the vocals come in at 1:17. Anyway, Julie stops by to talk to Barry, but when he goes back to rehearsing, she has second thoughts about abandoning Ray and rushes to his plane.
However, she kind of forgot about Hank. He thinks he and Julie are going to get married and move to his
All in all, it's very nightmarish. The kids in the Gardens audience may be laughing, but I think it's obvious that inside they're crying. What is really unfortunate is that Julie chooses to turn Hank down while still in her clown get-up. Being rejected by Esther Williams is bad enough, but Esther Williams-as-a-clown is even worse. Julie explains that she is in love with another man. She doesn't say who it is, but Hank can guess.
That evening, Julie arrives at Ray's house in a lovely, pink lace dress with giant pockets. She tries to prove to Ray how domestic she can be as she gushes about his home decor, talks about how she can cook anything, and makes him a martini that almost chokes him. Just then, the phone rings and Ray pretends like it is a female conquest when it is really his assistant Ben. It's Ray's way of letting Julie know he isn't going to propose, although it's pretty cowardly and cruel.
With tears in her eyes, Julie makes an excuse and goes home, where she is surprised to find Barry
another story. While Barry croons the Cole Porter piece during a weird, tiny water pageant of sorts, he also does a refrain of it when he is alone with Julie as she swims. (This is the enormous Florida-shaped pool I mentioned at the beginning. As if you couldn't tell.)
After she gets in a few laps, Julie joins Barry for a little poolside picnic, where he tries to persuade her into going with him for his Parisian tour. "It sounds like you're talking about a honeymoon," Julie comments. "More or less," Barry responds. Julie isn't fooled: "Which is it, Barry? More? Or less?"
Before that can be answered, Ray suddenly pops up. He offers to take them back to the mainland in his motorboat, but the trip is not a smooth one. Ray drives as fast as he can so the maximum amount of water will spray Barry. He then speeds away with Julie once Barry
It's a sweet moment, and it's the most sincere we've ever seen Ray, but unfortunately, Julie didn't hear a word he said -- she was so pissed at him that while he was spilling his guts out, she slipped off the boat and started swimming back to the shore. Understandably, Ray is peeved and throws her shoes after her. When will these crazy kids ever get together?!
Soaked from her swim and the thunderstorm that's started, Julie is in a bad mood when she gets to her and Nancy's apartment. She starts to take her sweater off when there's a knock at the door. Nancy answers it and it's Ray, who chides Julie for leaving while he was trying to discuss something important. She fires back and demands he get out. She tries to change clothes again, but there's another knock; this time it's Hank. He just knows Barry will hurt her and he won't let it happen! (Whatever, Hank.) Julie tries for a third time to remove her sweater, but Barry comes knocking. Unlike the other two suitors, he's much more gentle and relaxed as he asks Julie to dinner. Throughout this whole scene, Nancy is a total delight, watching her friend's romantic troubles from the sidelines. While Julie gets to end her night with a romantic dinner with Barry, Nancy gets a cheeseburger with onions to eat alone in her room. Story of my life.
While he is waiting for Julie to change, Barry goes downstairs and is feeling so happy that he bursts into "That's What a Rainy Day is For." Vic Mizzy and Mann Curtis are completely unknown to me, but they wrote this song, "Didja Ever," and "Look Out, I'm Romantic," and they are just wonderful in this movie, especially with Tony Martin's beautiful voice. ("Little Coquette," by the way, was written by Gus Kahn, Johnny Green, and Carmen Lombardo, Guy's sister.) Vic Mizzy certainly had a gift for a catchy tune -- he would later write the theme songs for Green Acres and The Addams Family.
But back to Barry. He has a thing for singing songs to seduce ladies, and the elderly women in the lobby are no exception! They adore Barry's singing, but they're also a little crushed when Julie appears and joins Barry in singing as they head to dinner. It's a cute, simple number, yet I always feel bad that Barry flirts with these little old ladies and then just walks away with the younger, prettier Julie.
Esther knew this and accepted it, but she refused to endanger her baby when it came to a stunt that involved diving from a helicopter eighty feet above the water and landing in the middle of a V-formation created by a group of skiers. Esther insisted her friend and accomplished diver Helen Crelinkovich, do the trick. When Berkeley grumbled that he hated doubles, Esther replied, "Not as much as I hate miscarriages. I'll do everything else you ask of me, Buzz -- I'll even ski-jump over the orchestra at the end -- but not the dive. I want to hang on to this baby."
Williams got her wish, later musing, "I don't know why I didn't say I would stay home like everybody else with any brains. It was that there was no other swimmer to replace me. And then they'd talk about 58 water skiers from all over the world and they were all under contract and they were all down at Cypress Gardens rehearsing, and Joe [Pasternak] would cry on the phone. He'd say 'You're strong, you can do it,' and I'd say 'I know, Joe, I've done it before.'" In the end, it made for one of Esther's most memorable routines. You can see it here. That's Esther standing with Berkeley on the right.
Seeing a ravishing brunette in a fantastic blue swimsuit with dangling beads, Barry introduces himself in record time. The woman drops her hat and he returns it to her; then he finds out she is posing for a lipstick advertisement. Sound familiar? Oh, and did I mention that the brunette is none other than Cyd Charisse? Yep, Mrs. Martin makes another appearance and it's a fun, meta way to end Barry's story. According to Martin, "That [ending] was impromptu. It was arranged by the studio without my knowledge. All of a sudden, Cyd appears... [I]t was cute as could be." Indeed!
1953 was a high-point in Chuck's career. Not only did he have EtL and Dangerous When Wet, he also directed Joan Crawford's comeback to MGM, Torch Song, and what may be his masterpiece, Lili. Lili was the definition of a passion project for Walters, and its release saw unanimous praise (and an Oscar nomination!) for the frequently overlooked director. Esther was so happy for her friend that one day while he was reading reviews of Lili to her, she started crying, telling him "Chuck, I can't keep asking for you. I can't hold you back. What are you doing around here with this wet woman, when you can make films like that and get reviews like these?" After EtL, they still looked for opportunities to collaborate, but it wasn't meant to be. For more on the relationship between Williams and Walters, click here.
In a roundabout way, EtL helped push Esther towards her third husband, Fernando Lamas. The mermaid and the Latin lover had met while making Dangerous When Wet, and while they were very much attracted to one another, Esther was married to Ben Gage and she wasn't ready to leave her husband for a well-known womanizer like Lamas, no matter how rocky her marriage was. Williams and Lamas said goodbye once production was over, but it wasn't final, as they found out almost a decade later.
In 1960, having unofficially left the movies, Esther was given a TV special that was to take place at Cypress Gardens based on her connection to the location. Wanting a partner for the special, Esther wracked her brain to think who could do it when it suddenly became clear: Fernando. He was undoubtedly her most skilled swimming partner in the movies, having been a champion swimmer in his country of Argentina, and she had to admit to herself that she wanted to see
Her answer came the first day Lamas arrived in Winterhaven. (Let's just say they didn't spend that night talking about the weather...) They didn't get married until 1969, and they were still together when Lamas died in 1982. That TV special, by the way, was called Esther Williams at Cypress Gardens and it was watched by more than half of the television-owning audience. I'm still waiting for it to be released on DVD. Get on it, people! Thankfully, you can see snippets of it here and here.
|I love this random moment in Ray's office. A costume designer brings in this mermaid and asks Ray what he thinks. With great seriousness, he stares at the costume and goes "Trim the tail." Sadly, we never see this outfit again.
|I don't know why, but I really love this shot. It's got three of my favorite things: coffee, bright colors, and Van Johnson.
With love,

The tapping on the door was at a speed that only a speedster could accomplish. Amira still looked through the peephole to see a familiar face staring back at her.
"Hurry up and let me in," he said softly so only she would hear it.
Amira opened the door to the man in the black JTF uniform, clean-shaven with a high and tight buzz cut to his famous golden hair. No cars had arrived so he must have run the five miles from the Butler campus to her apartment.
"Scott, I thought you weren't coming over until tonight," Amira said backing up. They had a regular schedule of pickups and deliveries since the night her father and Jason were murdered and Scott never deviated from it until today.
"I'm sorry, Amira," Scott Jurgens said stepping in the apartment, "I would have called but the JTF has really stepped up the electronic surveillance in the city, you know, with Michael's trial starting. They are worried the Enhanced rebels might try to free him or one of those assassins that escaped might return. Everyone is really freaked out right now."
Amira smiled before walking in the kitchen still talking. "I'm glad you are here actually. I was planning on serving them tonight but I need someone to test them first. I think we can an early dessert." She emerged holding a plate covered in several layers of wax paper.
"What is it?" Scott asked.
Amira looked up at the large man and grinned. "Something you should have tried when you visited my restaurant, but were too busy being a jerk," she said joking as she punched his arm lightly. It was like hitting a solid concrete wall. "Ouch," she whispered.
Scott bit his lip as he looked away. "Yeah, sorry about that. I was still in my complete dick phase during that time. Your family treated me a lot better than I deserved."
"Even I get a little bitchy from time to time, not like your tantrums, but we all have our bad days. And I forgive you."
Scott smiled at the much shorter young woman. "Thanks. I'm glad we can start over. I just wish it was under better circumstances."
Amira held back the tears. She had cried enough for her losses since the murders. She had to focus on her future now. That is what papa and Jason would want.
"Me too. Open wide and try this," Amira said holding out a plate with wax paper covering it in layers. "I made the baklawa for the restaurant every morning but these are my own recipe. I only make them for family on special occasions so you better be grateful."
Scott reached under the wax paper and pull out a small square of the layered flaky pastry and popped it in his mouth. As he chewed, his eyes closed and his mouth slurped every amazing flavor.
"Wow," he said swallowing and reaching out, "just wow. Thank you."
Amira could feel his large, warm hand covering hers as he smiled and thanked her.
"So what brought you here?" Amira asked.
"About that…" Scott responded reaching down to the ground and handing over several plastic bags. "Last time I was here, you mentioned you missed all your girly stuff. So, I stopped by the store and grabbed a bunch of things that chicks like, nail polish, lipstick, makeup, that kind of thing."
"Chicks?" Amira asked as she stood with her hands on her hips. "Whoever taught you how to talk to women did a horrible job, Mr. Jurgens."
As the embarrassment hit Scott again, his eyes could only look down. "There's a lot of things I was taught that was wrong and a lot of wrongs I need to make up for. It's not an excuse, but the things forced on me during training were not exactly kid-friendly or appropriate." Scott resisted the urge to think of the images again Jury forced in his mind to toughen him up.
"I was just giving you a hard time," Amira said as she reached out and touched his shoulder, "but I'm glad you can admit you make mistakes…and you want to fix them. I can only imagine how hard your life has been under such a microscope. I would have gone crazy. But you survived and now are ready to keep it from happening again to someone else. That makes a good hero. And thank you for the girly things."
Scott smiled as she called him a hero. It was the first time the word actually meant something to him. "I don't know what the Guild wants with you, but if they are working for Herr Metall, they are not going to stop at only one attempt. They will try again Amira and we have to be ready."
"I've been doing the excercises like you showed me. I even got your jogging machine over fifty."
Scott smiled at her progress. He had moved one of his old jogging machines, special-made for him and could handle a class three speedster.
"That's fantastic, but I still need to teach you more than just power strengthening. Your Enhanced abilities will only help you so much with these guys, especially if they hit you with one of those blades." Scott touched the scar where one of the assassins stabbed him in Amira's apartment. He still had nightmares of the weapon sucking his abilities away. "But we'll start that this weekend. I have to get back before Thorton figures out I'm not at my noon interview. He's at the courthouse watching the trial, but that little buttkisser is definitely keeping tabs on me for Jury."
Amira nodded. From her research on the internet about Special Agen Thorton on pro-Enhanced forums, he was known as extremely ruthless and would have undoubtedly sent her to Leavenworth.
"See you tonight?" Amira asked as Scott opened the door.
Scott winked back. "I wouldn't miss it for anything."

Rustic style bedroom should also remain simple with color patterns that comprised of shades of blue, green, brown, khaki and beige. The natural elements should be maintained for the window blinds. Therefore, select wooden blinds with color that match the furnishings. To create a synergy amongst the bedroom elements, the lighting should also be made from natural elements like wood or iron. It is best if you choose an artwork that displays nature scenes. To complete the rustic look, a geometrical Persian rug would be a perfect choice.
The positions taken up by furniture and other objects in the room is another important factor to consider. A good example is ensuring that the bed is kept away from the door. It can be quite difficult to position the furniture in the room if they are not of the right size and another of the bedroom decorating tips is to choose the correct size of all your furniture. Some of the factors to help you in this will be the floor plans of the room and its measurements.

You can see that Hanyu did two triple axel combinations after the halfway mark, and he got a 'good' score for that (perhaps that's the GOE?). While Chan only got one triple Axel, did poorly and it was before the halfway mark. Whereas Chan did a good quad-double toe combo before the halfway mark, it wasn't enough to offset the number of excellent jumps that Hanyu had after the halfway point.
Want to compare that with popular US entrant Jason Brown? Here's his program scores as shown in the NYT way.
Not saying the overall graphic couldn't be improved, for example, adding grades for skating skills such as footwork, but it's an excellent start. Also, the cumulative score could be added across the bottom as a line graph, to show how each jump affects the score.
Really liking how the NYT developed this graph and is able to crank it out during the competition and not afterwards. I hope they develop something as innovative for Ice Dance.

Sydney's western suburbs of Auburn and Merrylands has become home to a thriving community of Afghan Hazaras. Having escaped from from violent persecution in their homeland of Afghanistan, the community still faces many challenges. I began documenting the Hazara community in 2009 and is continues to work with the community providing support for the newly arrived.
Many of the young people I work with, in particular the Afghans face many questions around identity. Dealing with 3 cultures can be hard to navigate on top of language, housing and schooling issues. Parents born in Afghanistan, children have either grown up or born in Pakistan or Iran and now go to school or work here. Many families strongly encourage their children to maintain that Afghan culture but often after experiencing school here and feeling almost twice removed from the culture ends in a lot of inter-generational conflict.

Hey!My thoughts exactly, why going down?This one's got me stumped. They took on bid debt in '08, but are paying it down with no problem. Collotype was an ambitious acquistion, and I think it will pay off 'some day'. That 'some day' is getting awfully stale, though. Maybe their refusal to play the game and estimate future earnings has turned off the institutional/mutual fund set?My pricing model has been signalling buy buy buy for years on this one. I'm about to rework my model to kick out companies like this, only I have not figured out how to yet, unless I count a lack of insider buying and holdings as a bigger negative.Thoughts?

Price for the climb for a group of maximum 2 persons per guide
Beginner tech level
1 day climb
Guiding ratio 1:2
Dates on demand
Private trips only
Available June - September
La Petite Aiguille Verte is a brilliant introduction to Alpine climbing and offers an ideal training ground for those who wish to learn and improve on their alpine climbing skills.
This dramatic but surprisingly accessible peak is located between the Mer de Glace and the Argentiere glacier, reached by the cable car at Les Grands Montets. It can be climbed all year round and is an excellent winter climbing route.
Despite offering many challenges, climbing La Petite Aiguille Verte is not a particularly difficult feat - the most technical sections are all short and your guide will offer you tips and encouragement to get you to the summit.
The views from this route are magnificent and you'll feel like you've conquered the world when you arrive at the summit ridge and look out over the jagged peaks of the Mont Blanc massif.
You will meet your guide in the morning and make your way to Argentiere to take the Grand Montets cable car. From the top station (3295m) you will take the steps down to the snow. Here you will rope up and put on your crampons for the 30-40mins approach walk. The last section of the approach involves crossing a bergschrund before gaining the ridge.
The Northwest ridge involves both rock and ice. The more technical sections are short and do not pose major difficulties. Crampons are generally worn on some or all of the rock climbing. The climbing is easy but very exposed. Once you reach the summit you descend by the same route back to Grand Montets.
Climbing La Petite Aiguille Verte requires no particular mountaineering skills but you do need to have a good level or fitness to do this route.
You should have previous experience using crampons and be steady on your feet. Experience of travelling over glaciers is very useful but not essential, scrambling is also good experience for this sort of terrain.
Mountaineering boots
Warm hat
Thermal underwear
Light puffer jacket
Windproof and waterproof jacket
Windproof and waterproof trousers
Thin gloves
Ice Axe

|Still crying out for justice
|Tuesday, 11 June 2013
The Star
ROGER Tans article on Boonsom Boonyanit (The Star, June 9) draws me back to my law school days when I accidentally came across the Boonsom Boonyanit v Adorna Properties Sdn Bhd case while leafing through a volume of the Malayan Law Journal (MLJ).
I was in my first year and land law was a second year subject. What attracted me was the un-Malaysian name and I read the case through the various levels of courts it went through. The decision of some courts piqued me, but I refused to be pickled.
Being a first year law student, some of the terms and concepts baffled me.
Terms like immediate indefeasibility and deferred indefeasibility, good faith and consideration, balance of probabilities and preponderance of probability, civil fraud and criminal fraud all sounded pretty heavy on my ears. I struggled through the maze of legal jargons and reasoning, which sounded Greek to me then.
After a few years of immersion in law, I realised that the English crafted their language and laws with nuances and shades of meanings and it is a premium to master their language.
The more I read about the case, the more I realised that it would become a goldmine of legal controversies. Comments about the case began to appear in newspapers and academic journals.
I read articles by Salleh Buang, David Wong, Teo Keang Sood, Roger Tan, P.K. Nathan and others. All but one argued that the Federal Court decision under Chief Justice Eusoff Chin had made a wrong decision and interpreted Section 340 and its subsections of the National Land Code wrongly.
Is the title to ones land indefeasible? I began to wonder. All commentators pointed out that ours is deferred indefeasibility and not immediate indefeasibility, because it can be challenged.
Because of this doubt, I paid a monthly visit to the local land office just to make sure no David Copperfield makes my small piece of land in a kampung vanish into thin air. I had to spend quite a sum for this monthly confirmation.
Finally, I decided to dispose of the land and was able to sleep more soundly. This was because there were so many fraud and forgery land cases appearing in the papers, the latest being the Federal Court decision in Tan Yin Hong v Tan Siang Sang (2010).
One article I read even suggests that the Federal Court judgement in the Boonsom case was that of the former Chief Justice and not of the other two judges, the late Chief Judge Wan Adnan Ismail and Federal Court Judge Abu Mansor. Very convincing reasons were given for this rather startling conclusion.
·The Federal Court judgment is dated Dec 13, 2000.
·Then Chief Justice Eusoff Chin retired on Dec 18 that year.
·The judgment was read out on Dec 22 by the Deputy Registrar
·The then Chief Justice had six days before retirement to read out the judgment in court or to call upon one of the other two judges to read the judgment. This was not done.
·The counsel for Boonsom Boonyanit, the late Lim Kean Siew, had requested for salinan-salinan surat-surat daripada Wan Adnan Ismail HBM dan Abu Mansor HMP yang mengatakan bahawa mereka bersetuju dengan Penghakiman bertarikh 13.12.200 yang di tulis oleh Mohd. Eusoff bin Chin KHN, ini kerana Wan Adnan Ismail HBM dan Abu Mansor HMP tidak menandatangani Penghakiman tersebut.
·The request was turned down by the Deputy Registrar.
Do the two letters from the two judges come under the Official Secrets Act? Court judgments are supposed to be public documents.
Although the Federal Court reviewed its decision under a different set of judges on appeal by Boonsoms son, Kobchai Sosothikul, the new Federal Court with P.S. Gill FCJ and two others found that the judgment of the Federal Court under Eusoff Chin was not patently wrong.
Now, we all know that the decision of the Federal Court under Eusoff Chin was patently wrong and that the decision was a blatant and obvious mistake. It would be appropriate for the case to be reviewed one more time. The reason is obvious.
In Roopa Ashok Hurra v Ashok Hurra 2002 4 SCC 388, the Supreme Court of India said: Judges of the highest court do their best subject of course to the limitations of human fallibility, yet situations may arise, in the rarest of cases, which would require reconsideration of a final judgment to set the miscarriage of justice complained of. In such a situation, it would not only be proper but also obligatory both legally and morally to rectify the error there may be circumstances where declining to reconsider the judgment would be oppressive to judicial conscience and would cause perpetuation of irremediable justice the duty to do justice in these rarest of rare cases shall have to prevail over the policy of certainty of judgment.
The case of Boonsom Boonyanit qualifies to be the rarest of rare cases and the Federal Court would be doing great justice in reviewing the case one more time to correct the blatant and obvious mistake of the two judgments of the Federal Court so that the late Boonsom Boonyanit can rest in peace. She cries for justice from beyond the grave.

On Tuesday, January 6, after noon, Lucky was finally put into the water, and we stayed at a dock in Indiantown while we filled the tanks, folded on the sails, finished grocery shopping, and so on. Then we motored the quarter mile to Richard Brook's dock, and started to relax for a couple of days.
We neatened up the boat and got everything put away, and had Richard B and Renita out to the boat by dinghy for dinner one night, our first real entertaining. Richard had hurt himself again lifting water jugs, and was trying to not do things.
We headed down the St. Lucie Canal the same day as Blue Pelican, but they go 6 knots to our 5, and we lost them until we got to North Lake Worth.
The canal has lots of water this year, and the locks opened on request.
We anchored in Peck Lake, North Lake Worth (where Vonny and I anchored on Wishbone in 2000), at the Lantana Bridge, in Lake Sylvia in Fort Lauderdale (where a policeman warned us we could only stay 24 hours), and here in Lake Oleta at Baker's Haulover (where we met up with the trawler Searcher, friends from last year). We have been to all of these places before and enjoy the anchorages. But all the bridges in between, with restricted opening times, get really tedious. We were planning to stay in the Bahamas or farther south this winter, and see more new places.
After sitting out a cold front (with actual freezing, wind chills, and dire warning of hypothermia and even death predicted by NOAA), we headed south to No Name Harbour on Key Biscayne and rafted off Blue Pelican, who were still waiting for a weather window to cross to the Bahamas.
More Scrabble, laundry and happy hours with other cruisers.
Jenny and I often compare notes on our German boyfriends, who tend to micromanage and overinstruct us. But we felt a little better about them after meeting Maria, who had connected up with an American sailor on the internet and had come down to cruise to the Bahamas with him. She came with one small bag, and he said, "Where do you expect to put all that?" All the cupboards and lockers were full of tools and spares, and the food was piled in a couple of plastic bins, not handy for cooking. Initially she was supposed to pee into a funnel in a jar, until she persuaded him to let her use a bucket. But she was instructed to only use three squares of toilet paper. (I don't know how that was enforced.) He was mystified when the 30-gallon water tank was empty in a week. He called it "operator error on the part of Maria", when he explained over the radio that she had jumped ship in Fort Lauderdale. I say, good for Maria. Some internet connections work, some don't.
Klaus and Jenny left for the Bahamas Jan. 23, and we followed the next day. The wind was stronger than predicted, and north, not north-east, but we were passing other boats, and Richard was pulling lines as I struggled with the wheel. (Richard insists that I mention that we were sailing 9 knots.) But then Richard checked the bilges. We had more water in the bilges than last year.
So back we went, again. We chilled a couple of days at anchor off Ellis Key and looked at our options, including selling the boat, or stripping and sinking the damned thing.
But we kept poring over the cause. No water in the bilges at anchor, or when motoring in flat water, only when motoring or sailing in waves. The only thing that is in that position is the base of the support for the bowsprit.
Richard was hurting again, so we went back to Lake Oleta, north of Miami. He put 5200 all around the bowsprit base, and it has stayed dry. But we have yet to really test it.
And Richard was hurting again. So we got the message. No Bahamas and No Work This Winter. Well, Richard did one more job; he put in a deck pumpout for the Keys. And he was hurting again.But he's feeling better now.
And Rebecca Lewis is coming to visit tonight. It's going to be a peaceful winter in the Keys. And we hope it will get warmer.
We have changed from working to get there to being here. Today I painted a picture of Lucky, and will touch it up with the Skipper's technical advice tomorrow.
I hope it is warming up where you are.

Tha Truth is the seventh studio album by American rapper Trae tha Truth. It was released on July 24, 2015, by his independently-owned record label ABN Entertainment, alongside T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records and Empire Distribution. The album has been marked as his first release under Grand Hustle Records. The album's production was handled by J. Cole, Jae the Giant and League of Starz; as well as the guest appearances from T.I., along with these others artists, such as Nipsey Hussle, Jeremih and Ty Dolla $ign, among others.
In March 2012, Trae tha Truth signed a recording contract to Atlanta-based rapper T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records imprint. In March 2013, the album was originally titled Banned. On March 17, 2015, Trae tha Truth announced that his seventh album will be the double album, titled Tha Truth. He also unveiled the album's cover art, while revealing that it is scheduled to be released on June 22, 2015. However, the album was delayed, due to its changes on the album cover.
Group may refer to:
In shooting, a shot grouping, or simply grouping, is the placement of multiple shots on a target, the shots taken in one shooting session. The closeness of the grouping, the nearness of all the shots to each other, is a measure of the accuracy of a weapon, and a measure of the shooter's consistency and skill.
For firearms that shoot one round at a time, a shot grouping can be used to measure the accuracy of the system comprised out of weapon as well as the precision and uniformity of the ammunition by fixing the weapon into position on a test mount, and aiming it at a target. Multiple shots using rounds from same type and batch are fired to observe how the weapon groups the shots. If a person holds the weapon and shoots it, the grouping measures the combination of the person's skill and the weapon's accuracy.
In shotgun shooting, the grouping is also called the pattern. The pattern is the spread of shot from a single shotgun shell, measured as the smallest circle containing all the shots on the target. The barrel of a shotgun is designed to deliver a wide or narrow grouping, depending on the expected use. Shooting at close range indicates a cylinder bore barrel to deliver a wide grouping, while for hunting at longer distances such as 50 yards or meters, a choke is recommended for a tighter grouping.
A stratigraphic unit is a volume of rock of identifiable origin and relative age range that is defined by the distinctive and dominant, easily mapped and recognizable petrographic, lithologic or paleontologic features (facies) that characterize it.
Units must be mappable and distinct from one another, but the contact need not be particularly distinct. For instance, a unit may be defined by terms such as "when the sandstone component exceeds 75%".
Sequences of sedimentary and volcanic rocks are subdivided on the basis of their lithology. Going from smaller to larger in scale, the main units recognised are Bed, Member, Formation, Group and Supergroup.
A bed is a lithologically distinct layer within a member or formation and is the smallest recognisable stratigraphic unit. These are not normally named, but may be in the case of a marker horizon.
A member is a named lithologically distinct part of a formation. Not all formations are subdivided in this way and even where they are recognized, they may only form part of the formation.
Banned is a state resulting from a legal barrier.

Did these in an exercise of gesture and simplification, did this by drawing MUCH SMALLER than i often work and more quickly. Trying to nail Dallas' forms and proportions consistently, while getting interesting shapes and gestures.
I'm pretty happy with these first warm-up attempts, but still wanna figure some stuff out.

Unique among Western and industrialized nations, the US boasts a high rate of people who say they believe in God. Not all of these people regularly go to church, synagogue , mosque or temple, but over 90% of adult Americans say they believe in a Divine Being. The US is the most religiously diverse country in the world and the most religiously devout country in the West. I believe that this is because religion has remained in the realm of the marketplace of ideas since the time the first Puritans – who after all left Britain to preserve what they believed was their right to separate church from state – arrived on American shores. Their whole purpose in leaving the UK was so that they can protect their freedom to practice their religion the way they saw fit – not the way their government or any other legislative body saw fit.
Indeed, the Protestant Reformation, of which the Puritans were inheritors and champions, could rather simplistically be explained as a religious revolution that occurred when an increasingly educated class of citizens decided that they would no longer accept what they saw as interference by the institution of the Catholic Church into the religious life of believers. Top down institutions, be they absolute monarchies, or the papal system, inherently had a corrupting influence on the moral beliefs of regular citizens. The early European colonizers of the US had as their main moral objective the protection of church and state. This resulted in a peculiarly American form of creating religious communities for the people, by the people and of the people.
This is the religious culture that has framed the understanding of Millennial Muslims to their relationship with religious institutions – whether they are converts, children of converts, children of immigrants or children of second-generation immigrant-origin parents. Framing American religious culture in this way helps us to understand the phenomenon of unmosquing, the rise of 3rd spaces, and ultimately, can help institutions develop religious communities that may lead to the remosquing of Millennial Muslims.
Millennial Muslims are living in a time and a place where diversity and freedom of expression are celebrated as a virtue. Where sexism, racism, classism and ethnocentrism are legally, officially and culturally discouraged. Where social media has given an outlet & platform to marginalized voices and democratized public discourse. And their peers are leaving religion altogether for the first time in American history (over a quarter of Millennials say they are "nones" in religious affiliation). And they are the first group of immigrant-origin Muslims to be part of multi-generational Muslim families, mosques & institutions.
In the years after 9/11 I noticed something peculiar in my own generation (I straddle the line between Generation X and the Millennials, and here I'm talking about both groups). In any case, what I noticed is that younger, American born or raised, well-educated working professionals, seemed to be leaving the mosque in droves. Their community service, artistic endeavors, political activity and even spiritual revival occurs outside of the mosque. Though many mosques continue to be sustained by constant waves of immigrants, the fact remains that many mosques have not been able to cultivate generational loyalty. Further, many American Muslims between the ages of 18-40 live where their jobs and universities are; not necessarily where their parents raised them. As they criss-cross the country, Millennials are looking for welcoming spiritual communities and don't join the mosques that are unable to provide spiritual care for them. Before we talk of the remosquing of these generations, which I do think is critical, we must identify and acknowledge the reasons why Millennials and Gen Xers are becoming unmosqued. Among them are:
- Mosques are simply not welcoming for many people who don't see financial or leadership transparency
- Racism & ethnocentrism are off-putting to Millennials who are the most racially diverse American generation in history
- Young people don't feel heard by mosque leaders
- Women's spaces are typically unwelcoming
- The prevalence of spiritual abuse from leaders ill-equipped to handle social problems of their congregants
However, I have faced my own difficulties regarding mosques, not least because of my gender. Based on my experiences, the physical spaces women & girls occupy reflects the value mosque leaders believe they add to the community. I run a website called Side Entrance and this year, my goal has been to focus on solutions. To that end, I have been polling women about what it would take to get them to remosque. One woman – the daughter of an imam, and who is currently is on the board of her local Islamic school) told me that when she was a teenager, her mosque was a refuge for the youth. They would meet there for fun. Play basketball, have a poetry slam, enjoy ice cream after Maghrib. But leadership changed and the tone of the mosque changed along with it. The mosque was no longer Dar Assalam, an abode of peace, for these youth. So they left and haven't returned.
Because I don't want to only highlight the difficulties of this situation, and I do believe that mosques must play a stronger role in providing spiritual care to American Muslims, I've come up with some modest practical steps to take that might help create a welcoming abode of peace by. Please share your thoughts, add your own suggestions and give feedback in the comments area below.
Modest Practical Steps for Mosques to Take
1. Develop and offer climate surveys, asking young people what their needs are & try to implement them
2. Include young people in decision-making committees, or facilitate a way to have their voices be heard
3. Identify, train & hire imams who can offer pastoral care to the community
4. Diversify your sense of community – once a month have a congregation or imam swap with a mosque that has a different ethnicity
5. Make sure khutbah topics are relevant by soliciting feedback
6. Incorporate community service & interfaith activities as part of your mosque ethos
Millennials feel that that religious leaders are not equipped to offer pastoral care for a generation of Muslims dealing with mental or drug problems, domestic abuse, a rising divorce rate, generational gap between youth and parents, and an organized Islamophobia cottage industry. Millennials are flocking to 3rd spaces like Ta'leef Collective in California or the Nur Center in Virginia because mosques are no longer abodes of peace for them. If existing mosques are interested in cultivating generational loyalty among American Muslims, then reimagining how they can welcome back Gen Xers and their children, and become abodes of peace for Millennials must be a priority. Because this generation of American Muslims, and all those who will come after, are certainly operating within the framework of that peculiar American religious culture that encourages the creation of religious congregations for the people, by the people and of the people.

I cannot believe that we are on the last days of summer!
Monday my kids start school even though it is only for an hour for an opening ceremony and to meet their teachers. So the school year routine begins, UUGGHH!
This week we have been busy running around getting the back-to-school supplies, hair cuts, and most importantly FUN! It is the last summer with our oldest daughter as next summer she will be going off to university, so that means we need to have as much as possible, right?
In my last blog post, I mentioned about looking for hidden gems in towns. Well about 10 minutes from our house is cute little lake that only the locals really know about. It is not much but it is perfect for the girls for a day in the water and for me to bring a chair and catch up on my magazines.
It is hard to believe that it is the end of summer already for most of you back in the US but us in Poland our final day is today, so the girls and I going to make the most of it! Now off I go to wake 3 girls up and get them ready for today's big surprise of fun.
Which do you prefer to swim in, a lake or a pool? Me, I love lakes like this one!

Operation FAIL (??) in LOVE: An Epilogue
by P. Braithwaite
The other day, I was writing about my love life thus far, and I accidentally wrote Operation FAIL in love instead of my usual "fall in love."
Freudian slip? Probably.
Before I go further, there are a few things you should know: I don't like to fail. I work very hard; I'm very smart, and I'm an impeccable student. This love life thing, though, is like a test that I cannot pass. Operation FAIL in love was like a punch in the stomach. I don't know why I keep failing…
But maybe…failing isn't what it seems.
I fell in love. At first it was by accident, and then it was on purpose. And now…it's just over.
But, wait, it gets worse… the secret, the one of which I'm ashamed, is that I REALLY didn't want it to be over. I actually fought being broken up with.
As I write this, I am aware that some of you will pity me, and some of you will laugh at me and maybe someone somewhere will relate. I'll get a text in the middle of the day saying, "I'm sorry this happened" or "that dude must be such an asshole." And I'll be genuinely uncomfortable and embarrassed.
BUT — I'm telling you this anyway.
I am writing this because I am ashamed. I feel embarrassed and rejected and I have to release the shame. It doesn't need to grow any larger than it has.
The real truth of love…is this:
There is NO SHAME in FIGHTING for love.
There is NO SHAME in FALLING in love.
There is NO SHAME in FAILING at love.
The bravery is in trying and in losing control…even if only for a moment. The bravery is in pulling yourself back together again. In being able to "go there" because you know, no matter what, you ALWAYS come back together…again.
If you've ever been where I am now – congratulate yourself. You're an amazing mother f*cker; not everyone can do it. Don't believe me? Psychology Today says I'm right.
So as I close out OPERATION FALL, I consider the operation a success. BLOGGER EMME has more dates than she can handle, and she loves her life more and more each day.
I, though sore and emotionally exhausted, understand that my heart is still very much intact. I fell and I felt with my entire self. Something I thought would never ever happen to me. Passion, for me, tends to show up on the page …I don't usually get to experience it in my love life. To know that no matter what, I am capable of feeling deeply… is worth the epic failures and false starts.
And so, for that, I am grateful.
Mission accomplished, I guess…

Now that the temp's in the U.S. have consistently climbed above 65 degrees Fahrenheit, everyone wants to enjoy exercising outdoors. On Your Marks, Get Set . . . Before sprinting through the door, take a few safety measures first:
1) Footwear - I highly recommend going to a specialty shop to get your shoes and feet assessed prior to exercising. Look for a store that assesses your foot patterns while moving (walking/running). It may take 20 minutes, but save you months of agony suffering from pain associated with improper footwear (plantar faschiitis, shin splints, knee, back, and neck issues).
2) Water - Drink a minimum of 24 ounces before and after exercise. The human body cannot function properly without water.
3) Heart Rate Monitor - When the temperatures and humidity rise, it's imperative at any age to use a heart rate monitor during high intensity exercise. Look for a model with excellent consumer ratings that include both a watch and chest strap. (I like the Polar FT4 and FT7 models and encourage purchasing on Amazon.)
4) Doctor Consent - If it has been a year or more since you've seen a doctor and take prescribed or over-the-counter medications, be sure to check-in for a physical.
For more information on safety measures associated with exercising in the heat, read Keeping Cool in Hot Weather by the Mayo Clinic.

I found these Valentine's poems for married people via the brilliant Cup of Jo and I read every one and I laughed out loud FOR REAL, not in the LOL kind of way.
This one's my favorite:
When we have children,
They will watch no television.
No screens.
We will be different from those other parents,
And we will take pride in our being better.
Fast-forward seven years,
And it's Sunday morning,
Do you know who our friend is?
SpongeBob SquarePants, that's who.
And, yes, you can have Mentos for breakfast.
I may need to write a few honest poems myself…
Also, we have two wedding anniversaries, and here's why. Romantic -ish!

In case you missed it, the new black-bun burger at Burger King turns your poo green. This news took the internet by storm a couple of weeks ago—apparently generating so much social media buzz that you can now choose it as a costume. You know, because it's topical, funny, and... um... cold-weather-appropriate (we guess).
Thanks to HalloweenCostumes.com, you can show up alongside your boo or BFF in one of the weirdest couples costumes we've ever seen. And believe us, we've seen some crazy amazing food costumes and horribly hilarious Halloween food fails.
While you're free to fly solo and wear the costume on your own, the company recommends that you wear it as a couples costume with the Halloween Whopper, so that everyone can be especially grossed out when the two of you make out after downing a few shots.
And if you want to make it a creepy ménage à trois, you can invite the King himself into the mix and give everyone nightmares from now to eternity.

Random Photos: The Event at the JFK Library
On Friday there was an event at the JFK Library about
Doug Most's
The Race Underground
, concerning the race between Boston and New York's subway construction in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Former Governor Michael Dukakis was also there and spoke with Doug Most. My father and I got an autographed copy, and were very close to getting an autograph from the Governor too (but he left just before we got the chance). I did get pictures with both of them, though, which is pretty darn cool in my book.
Getting the autograph.
Doug Most and me.
Yes, I know the picture's really blurry. This is the Governor and me.

A new study says the death rate from Cervical cancer is significantly higher among U.S. blacks than for white women
The medical journal Cancer on Monday published the finding that the rate black American women are dying from the disease is akin to that of women in many poor developing nations.
Experts say what is especially disturbing is that cervical cancer is largely preventable through screenings.
"This shows that our disparities are even worse than we feared," said Dr. Kathleen M. Schmeler, an associate professor of gynecologic oncology at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.
"We have screenings that are great, but many women in America are not getting them."
Schmeler, speaking to the New York Times, said President Donald Trump's plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act could make matters worse because it covers screening and may result in the closing of family planning clinics, which performs the test.
The mortality rate for black women was 10.1 per 100,000. For white women, it is 4.7 per 100,000, according to the study.
Some doctors said the disparity could reflect unequal access to screening and insurance coverage.
Cervical cancer is caused, in most cases, by the virus called human papillomavirus, or HPV. It can be transmitted through sexual contact. There is a vaccine for women 26 years and younger.
