I'm dusting off Please Sir and slowly returning to the blogosphere with new aspirations and inspiring ideas. I apologize for the long absence, but I needed a little transition time for my new job (yay!). I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I will have more responsibility, but I look forward to the challenges and creative fuel ahead. One can dream for it all, right?! Please bear with me as I find a blogging routine that works best with my new responsibilities. Thank you for being patience and awesome!
Let's start the week off with beautiful vintage finds from Shaving Kit Supplies. From a lovely French clock, heart brooch (perfect for Valentine's Day), vintage money bag (perfect for pillows), fox door knocker and a large variety of book prints.

Here at ibikelondon I've been cataloguing the cycling culture around Broadway Market for nearly four years. From the cycle chic riders who braved the winter and kept riding in January 2012 and February 2011, to the football teams who pedal to practice on Hackney Marshes (not forgetting autumn and the long hot days of summer as well of course!). There's the "cycle chic wall" outside Lock 7 cafe, not to mention the "bicycles-only road" where two wheels rule. Noticing how the sun brings out the best in cyclists using Hackney's canal-side paths, to documenting the change from early adopters to everyday and ordinary cyclists, when it comes to London's bicycling borough I've really seen it all.
And, being both an observer and a contributor to the borough's cycling culture, I've often thought about what makes Hackney tick, and why so many people choose to ride bikes here. Unusually for an inner-London borough it doesn't have an Underground station (although it did gain a handful of Overground stations in 2010), meaning the fastest way to get around is on two wheels, with the 2nd and 3rd fastest means of transport - buses and cars - being prohibitively slow or expensive. It's also always had a strong cycling 'scene', with specialist shops and bike polo and grass track racing groups for example. With a strong creative class stationed in the borough there is also a lot of local area and home working, meaning distances between home and the office are eminently cycleable for many. What's more, the borough benefited from the introduction of the Congestion Charge in its southern corner since 2000, and more people now cycle to work in the borough than drive. But that's not all that has made Hackney an inviting place in which to ride a bike...
The Hackney branch of the London Cycling Campaign have been working with the borough very closely for many years, encouraging the Council to consider the bicycle in all that they do; from approving planning applications, to which bin lorries they procure. And where they've had the most evident success on the ground is with their programme of "filtered permeability" interventions; making one way streets two way again, using bollards to make streets no-through-roads for motorised traffic, hence becoming a handy cut-through for cyclists and pedestrians. Clever short-cuts and links, made with little more than a dropped curb or a handy bollard, have allowed cyclists to avoid the busiest and most unpleasant roads, whilst efforts to unwind all of the biggest gyratories in the borough continue. Long-serving Councillor and former cabinet member Vincent Stops has a long list on his blog of some of the interventions done in recent years to encourage more travel by bicycle, which is well worth a read.
But is this over-egging the pudding? Is Hackney a popular spot for cycling simply by lucky coincidence, a chance concurrence of beneficial elements? It is worth remembering that although 14.6% of trips to work might be by bike, the modal share for all journeys by bicycle in the borough remains low compared to other means of transport. And not everyone agrees that Hackney is exactly a cycling paradise. Much missed cycling blogger, the famously venomous Crap Cycling in Waltham Forest had this to say of the borough back in 2010;
"East of Mare Street I quickly became lost in a labyrinth of one-way streets and hideous gyratories... After an hour cycling in Hackney I sobbed nostalgically for Waltham Forest. It's that bad."
Even self-described vehicular cyclist "Buffalo" Bill Chidley of London bicycle courier scene fame is keen to point out that there are really big changes needed to some of Hackney's biggest and busiest roads;
"I agree that there remains a lot to do in Hackney. I live right by the A10 Kingsland Road, on which 3 cyclists have been killed in the last 10 years. This road desperately needs some redesigning, but not just for cyclists, for pedestrians as well."
And every time I ride west along the throbbing, thronging Hackney Road I curse the absence of a separate cycle path on this busiest of arterial routes that seems to have been left as a festering free-for-all where anything goes.
And this is where things start to get really strange... Because the Hackney branch of the London Cycling Campaign - the LCC group for the most bicycling bicycley biking borough in biking Boris's London - is staunchly anti-cyclepaths and segregated cycling infrastructure. So convinced are the lead members of this group of the potential damage that can be done by cycle lanes that they proudly write on their website how they have managed to block TfL from installing cycle paths on Old Street, a busy transport corridor in the borough; "We do not see any advantage in cycle lanes here" they opine. On the At Home in Hackney blog, Hackney Cycling co-ordinator Trevor Parsons talks of lessons to be learnt from the greatest cycling nation in the world;
"[in] the Netherlands people are compelled to ride on separate cycle tracks and paths where they exist and Dutch police shout at people for cycling on smooth, empty carriageways. We don't want that over here... ..we want to take the 'permeability' approach".
And this perhaps rather odd approach has trickled down to the borough Council with Vincent Stops asking on Twitter "How many miles of trip hazards is Boris going to install?" after the Mayor's recent announcement that he will build a 15km substantially segregated cycle track across central London.
How many miles of trip hazards is Boris going to install. I'm sure Hackney will continue to focus on what's important for cycling and peds.
— Vincent Stops (@VincentStops) March 7, 2013
So is Hackney a bicycling valhalla, or merely a lucky fluke? Are its bicycle campaigners on the right track, or is their exclusion of separated cycling infrastructure as a useful, available tool holding back the two wheeled potential of the borough? And if you had next to no cycling levels in your borough, what could London's most successful cycling borough teach you? Should we even be looking to this unique and unusual corner of inner London as an example for other locations to copy at all?
All these themes and more will be explored at the June Street Talks, next Tuesday the 4th of June in the upstairs bar at The Yorkshire Grey pub. As usual the bar opens from 6PM for drinks, food and networking before the presentation at 7PM which this month will be given by Hackney Cycling Campaign co-ordinator Trevor Parsons and Hackney Councillor Vincent Stops, who will explore the challenges they feel their borough faces, the success they have won, and what they would like to do differently to bring about more people on bikes. See the Movement for Liveable London website for more details.
And if that's not enough Hackney in one month for you, spaces are still available for the Hackney Cycling Conference 2013, taking place on the 6th of June at Hackney Town Hall, and featuring key note speeches from the Mayor's Cycling Commissioner Andrew Gilligan and the author of the Get Britain Cycing report Professor Phil Goodwin.

It's that time of year when the 6 o'clock news leads far too often with the most tragic stories about childhood drowning deaths, near deaths, and injuries. Just this week, there was the news about the son of singer Usher nearly drowning in the family's pool. The statistics are sobering.
According to the Centers for Disease Control:
Every day, about ten people die from unintentional drowning. Of these, two are children aged 14 or younger. Drowning ranks fifth among the leading causes of unintentional injury death in the United States.
To help parents better understand the complexities of these cases, THELAW.TV asked five questions about swimming pool liability to Orlando, Florida personal injury attorney Shane Fischer.
1. Who is liable for injuries in a swimming pool?
It depends on who gets injured, how they were hurt, and who owns the pool. In Usher's case, had his son died or sustained permanent brain damage due to lack of oxygen, the pool manufacturer (and the drain manufacturer) might be liable if they knowingly built a drain without enough safeguards to protect children from getting stuck in it. Because these types of products liability cases are so difficult and are unique to each case, it really depends on what happens and why. If, on the other hand, a kid is running around the pool area irresponsibly, slips and falls and gets injured, then absent some argument that the pool surface area lacked proper friction, then the kid is likely out of luck. Additionally, if you drown in your own pool because you fall in as a result of a fainting spell, you're also out of luck, since there is no causal link between the pool construction and your fainting.
2. What should a homeowner do to limit their liability for injuries in their pool?
The single biggest thing you can do is to provide reasonable care to secure the pool. In this case, reasonable care means complying with local laws and ordinances regarding security. This way, if a child sneaks into your backyard and into your screened back pool enclosure, then drowns in the pool, your liability will be limited or nonexistent if you can establish that you complied with all laws, got your pool inspected, etc. On the other hand, if you know that a child sneaks in, and more importantly know how they do it, you could be liable if you fail to take what the law says are reasonable steps to stop the child. For example, say you learn that a child learns the code to your backyard electronic access gate, you need to change the password. Alternatively, if the kid climbs or crawls through a hole in your screen to access your pool, then you need to get the hole fixed, otherwise you may be liable even if you follow other standard procedures, because the law will say you knew, or should have known, that the child could access your pool a number of different ways.
3. What if the injury was caused by the negligence of the swimmer?
Most likely you are off the hook. However, if you know the person swimming doesn't know how to swim, and you leave them alone, you may be liable for their injuries because you had advance knowledge that they lacked meaningful swimming ability. On the other hand, a homeowners association can be liable for injuries to a swimmer if the swimmer was part of an organized activity occurring on association property. Here's an example: One day I saw a van full of kids on summer camp pull into our community, head to the pool, and proceed to swim for a few hours. I was outraged because a homeowner gave the camp permission to swim in our pool as part of an organized activity. Our association wasn't insured for injuries that occurred as a result of an organized activity, and I immediately had the association inform the homeowner not to allow this activity anymore because we weren't insured for it. As a result, if a kid got injured during this organized activity, the association would have had to pay the injured family directly, resulting in a special assessment against every homeowner.
4. Are the laws different for public swimming pools?
Absolutely. Community pools are held to a different standard because they are designed for public use, and as such, they need to have different safety precautions in place to accommodate a large number of swimmers, as opposed to your backyard swimming pool that is used by just a few people.
5. What about if there's a lifeguard or a "swim at your own risk" sign?
Merely posting a sign saying you are swimming at your own risk wouldn't eliminate the risk to the pool/drain designer in Usher's case, because the liability arises from the design of the drain, not from the swimming. But, in some cases, this kind of disclosure (a "swim at your own risk" sign) may relieve the pool owner of some liability.

Mother Teresa is a profound example of someone who chose to follow Jesus' example of love and concern by caring for the needs of people living in poverty in Calcutta, India. Mother Teresa's birthday today reminds us of her profound efforts of love, mercy, and kindness during her many years of service among the poorest of the poor.
Similarly, World Vision is committed to breaking cycles of poverty in thousands of communities around the world. As we seek to respond to the needs of the poor, we are drawn closer into intimate relationship with God.
Where did Mother Teresa find the strength and the ability to continue to serve in such a life-giving way for so many years? How did she develop her heart and love for the poor? And where did her strength of character and passion for service come from?
The answers are found in the actions of her daily life, particularly in her regular devotion to prayer and entering into the presence of God by practices of the faith, most remarkably silence.
Mother Teresa had a deeply intimate relationship with Jesus that was fostered by silence throughout her life. Her practice of silence created room for prayer and space for her relationship with God to grow. Silence fueled Mother Teresa's social action, which manifested itself through her overwhelmingly powerful ministry with the poor.
For Mother Teresa, silence was a prerequisite to prayer and the ability to meet with God. Prayer, through the means of silence, took upon itself to form the deep intimacy with God and with Jesus. "And when the time comes and we can't pray it is very simple: If Jesus is in my heart let Him pray, let me allow Him to pray in me, to talk to his Father in the silence of my heart," she would say. "If I cannot speak, He will speak: If I cannot pray, He will pray."
One of Mother Teresa's most recognized prayers came to be known as her "business card:" "The fruit of silence is prayer; the fruit of prayer is faith; the fruit of faith is love; the fruit of love is service; the fruit of service is peace." Many view these words as the secret to her success in ministry and care for the poor.
Through sacrifice and endurance, Mother Teresa reminds Christians and those of other faiths that God is the God of love. She is a profound example of how the love of Christ for all people compels us to respond to the deeply troubling needs of humanity and walk alongside the poor.
As you go about your daily life today, when so many things are vying for your attention, may you have the time and space to enter into silence. Silence is a gift waiting to be opened and explored. Mother Teresa reminds us, "In the silence, God speaks." May the Lord meet you in the silence and touch your heart.

As soletan at toxa dot de reported, that function is very bad and does not provide valid enquoted printable strings. While using it I saw spam agents marking the emails as QP_EXCESS and sometimes the email client did not recognize the header at all; I really lost time :(. This is the new version (we use it in the Drake CMS core) that works seamlessly:
//L: note $encoding that is uppercase
//L: also your PHP installation must have ctype_alpha, otherwise write it yourself
function quoted_printable_encode($string, $encoding='UTF-8') {
// use this function with headers, not with the email body as it misses word wrapping
$len = strlen($string);
$result = '';
$enc = false;

$c = $string[$i];
if (ctype_alpha($c))
else if ($c==' ') {
$enc = true;
} else {
$result.=sprintf("=%02X", ord($c));
$enc = true;
//L: so spam agents won't mark your email with QP_EXCESS
if (!$enc) return $string;
return '=?'.$encoding.'?q?'.$result.'?=';
I hope it helps ;)

A BREATH OF 'FRESH AIR': GRAMMY NOMINATED BETTYE LaVETTE CAN BE HEARD ON NPR's PEABODY AWARD-WINNING TALK SHOW MONDAY, DECEMBER 17; BETTYE GRABS THREE BLUES MUSIC AWARD NOMINATIONS
BETTYE LaVETTE - who recently scored a GRAMMY nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album for her CD THE SCENE OF THE CRIME (Anti- Records) - joins host Terry Gross on NPR's Peabody Award-winning Fresh Air on Monday, December 17. The weekday magazine program airs on over 450 NPR stations nationwide, and is available online and as a podcast at www.NPR.org.
On the show, BETTYE talks about her 40-year career and her winding road to redemption on her intensely cathartic latest disc.
It was 35 years ago in Muscle Shoals - a decade after she scored a top-ten hit with her debut single "My Man - He's A Lovin' Man" that BETTYE recorded the career-defining masterpiece that never was: Atlantic Records inexplicably shelved the record. Scarred but not broken, BETTYE persevered as a tireless performer, honing her craft and focusing her heartbreak.
Now THE SCENE OF THE CRIME - featuring Southern rockers Drive-By Truckers as BETTYE's backing band - has indisputably become the career-defining masterpiece that is.
In addition to earning BETTYE her first ever GRAMMY nomination, SCENE has landed BETTYE nonstop rave reviews, and three 2008 Blues Music Award (formerly the W.C. Handy Awards) nominations - for Album of the Year, Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year, and the B.B. King Entertainer of the Year.
Not surprisingly as the year winds down, BETTYE is already finding her way onto many critics' best of '07 lists, including Mojo, Paste, Pop Matters, All Music Guide, Metromix.com, and Harp, which sagely counsels, "Don't ever change, Bettye."

We were wrong.
Maybe the diet doesn't work as well as medication, but hoo boy, judging by Jackson's "wackadoo, out of control, making us all want to jump off a bridge" behavior the last couple days, it appears the diet was at least helping. The pencil to Clay's eye yesterday was just the tip of the iceberg. After the day I had today, I can see why some parents abandon their young while they're only a month old. Like these bunnies in my friend Jen's yard...
Actually, rabbits may be onto something. They nurse their babies maybe once a day and their gestation period is only a month long!
Anyway, if I had any doubts that the diet was helping, they all evaporated today. Oh. My. Gosh. I haven't seen Jackson so horrible in a long time and I have no desire to see him like that again
I think I have a finite amount of patience for any given day. When it runs out, then I become HIM. "Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry." Let me tell ya, I ran out of patience by noon today. Most days, I can deal with the crazy stuff and the arguing between the kids. Little things don't phase me on most days. Most days, I don't feel like curling up in a fetal position, rocking back and forth, and sucking
Then there are days like today where I can't so much as stand the sound of breathing by the time bedtime rolls around because my patience has been completely depleted.
Beer goes with chocolate chip cookies, right? Because I have a craving for both right now. Or maybe I should just save it for tomorrow when I take all 6 of them to the dentist by myself and somehow try to have a conference call in the middle of that.

From the March 31, 2008, Princeton Weekly Bulletin
Like many of her students, Tracy K. Smith started writing poetry in earnest as an undergraduate. Now a fast-rising star in American poetry, she is leading intensive workshops at Princeton — knowing from her own experience how important it is to inspire students as they develop as writers.
"I had written poems and short stories haphazardly growing up, but I never thought I could one day become a writer," said Smith. "It wasn't until I started taking workshops that I realized it was a vocation that didn't have to wait until the end of my life to pursue."
Smith's journey as a poet is well under way. She is the author of two poetry collections, "The Body's Question" and "Duende," both published by Graywolf Press, in 2003 and 2007, respectively.
The critical acclaim garnered by "Duende" is filling Smith's calendar with speaking engagements at campuses and literary events across the country. In February, the book won the first Essence Literary Award for poetry, which recognizes the literary achievements of African Americans. Earlier this year, "Duende" was a finalist for the 39th NAACP Image Award. In 2006, the collection won the James Laughlin Award of the Academy of American Poets, which is the only award for poetry in the United States given to support a poet's second book.
Smith joined the Princeton faculty in 2006 and is an assistant professor of creative writing in the Lewis Center for the Arts. Prior to that, she taught at the University as a visiting faculty member for a year. She also has taught at the University of Pittsburgh and the City University of New York. From 1997 to 1999, she held the Wallace E. Stegner Fellowship in poetry at Stanford University.
"It's been a delight to have Tracy with us," said Paul Muldoon, chair of the Lewis Center and a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet. "As one of the most engaging, and engaged, of early-career American poets, she brings a very vital worldview to our students."
Finding the magic
Raised in Northern California by a family that has deep roots in Alabama, Smith started her journey as a poet at Harvard University, where she graduated in 1994 with a bachelor's degree in English and American literature and Afro-American studies. Three years later, she completed an M.F.A. in creative writing from Columbia University.
During her time as a student, Smith learned from poets such as Seamus Heaney, Linda Gregg, Mark Doty and Henri Cole, but she singles out Lucie Brock-Broido as her mentor.
Smith uses her former teacher as an inspiration for her own writing as well as for the way she teaches beginning and advanced poetry at Princeton. Specifically, she says she seeks the "magic" that Brock-Broido identifies as being central to the art of poetry, which "beckons" the poet to discover the poem that is asking to be written.
To help her find the magic in her own writing, Smith said that she "thinks about what I don't yet understand, or what I'm curious about figuring out, and using my questions and curiosities as a guide."
It is this search for meaning that Smith conveys to her students. Jenny Xie, an English major who is writing a manuscript of poems for her senior thesis under Smith's guidance, said: "One of the best things about writing poetry is the feeling that you have something, or have been witness to something, that needs to be communicated. Professor Smith has taught me the importance of seeking out, in the poetic process, what it is that makes it necessary for a poem to be written."
In her workshops, Smith encourages students to take creative risks. First, she ensures that her undergraduates feel comfortable critiquing the work of their peers.
"At the start of the workshop, students often tell me in office hours that they are nervous about doing that," she said. "But by week three or four, they are already developing an extensive vocabulary for the discussion of poems. They are also doing close readings of published poems as a means of finding out what choices other writers make and what those choices enable them to do."
For Smith, seeing a student write a senior thesis in poetry is inspiring. "I think it is an exciting process because it is so compressed," she said. "Thesis students are given roughly eight months to produce a finished manuscript that's anywhere from 30 to 50 pages. In a way it's like watching a plant develop using time-lapse photography. Things start happening very quickly."
Catherine Richardson, a comparative literature major, also is being advised by Smith for her senior thesis. "I feel extremely lucky to have Professor Smith as an adviser," she said. "She has a knack for making me push my boundaries and putting into words problems in my work that I saw but could not articulate."
In particular, Richardson said Smith has helped her appreciate the importance of revision. "Revising used to torture me," she said. "I didn't know how to approach it without wanting to either rip up the poem and start over or to just change one word and call it done. Professor Smith often hands back drafts with the lines renumbered, with whole stanzas cut out or with very specific suggestions. She taught me that sometimes the line you want is already there, just in the wrong place, or that a place where an image is reiterated can be a perfect excuse to take a leap instead."
Many sources of inspiration
Smith said teaching motivates her to "live up to her own ideas" as part of her evolving writing process.
For her first book, Smith focused on her own private experience and her desire to engage with the "details and events that seemed somehow unresolved," such as her marriage and the death of her mother.
In "Duende," whose title suggests a "pixie" or "hobgoblin" originally conjured up by the Spanish writer Federico García Lorca, she charts a new course and a "deliberate pursuit of different kinds of concerns."
Elizabeth Alexander, a poet who teaches at Yale University and who was a judge for the Laughlin Award, described the effect reading "Duende" had on her: "If 'Duende' were wine, it would certainly be red; if edible, it would be meat cooked rare, coffee taken black, stinky cheese, bittersweet chocolate."
Many of the poems are political and are inspired by news reports from across the globe. They often home in on the marginalized and the unknown and employ various voices and forms.
"More and more of my poems have presented themselves as sites for exploring aspects of the world that I'd like to understand more fully," Smith said.
For example, the poem "Into the Moonless Night" is based on a story she read in The New York Times Magazine about four Ugandan high school girls who were abducted by rebel soldiers and forced to act as their wives, bear them children and also commit crimes. Ultimately, the women returned to their communities and had to find ways to fit in again.
"I remember being in my New York apartment and looking at the article and being really struck by this political struggle that I was embarrassed to know nothing about," said Smith. But what caught her imagination and empathy was the way in which the women were "pulled out of their lives and made to submit to something not of their choosing ... and then were asked to come back and pick up where they'd left off."
Smith explained that she felt a "point of connection" with the experiences of these women because of the "idea that we get derailed [in our private lives] and have to pick up and reinvent ourselves."
"Duende" contains many such connections with other beings, whether alive or dead. There is a Brazilian boy found murdered with the note that becomes the title of the poem, "I Killed You Because You Didn't Go to School and Had No Future." In the epigraph to the poem, Smith explains that it is a "note left beside the body of nine-year-old Patricio Hilario, found in a Rio street in 1989." In "Flores Woman," the poem imagines the tiny species of human that once lived on the Indonesian island of Flores 18,000 years ago, whose discovery was reported in the journal Nature in 2004. In the poem "Theft," there is a Native American boy who is shunted from one foster home to another and who comes to life for Smith from an article in The Chicago Reader. The collection even includes a self-aware street dog toughing it out in Spain in the poem "Nocturne: Andalusian Dog," which captures a moment in time from Smith's visit to that country.
Smith has learned that reinventing herself is productive as a pathway to new ideas. She relies on travel — and being an outsider — to gain access to new perspectives.
"Travel is a huge inspiration," Smith said. "Inevitably you land in a place and the smells are different and you are listening from a different part of yourself. As a visitor you become invested in what is going on around you; you also develop a persistent curiosity about what is going on behind closed doors that you don't have access to as an outsider."
Many of Smith's ideas for "Duende" emerged when she was on a writer's residency in Andalucia, Spain, an experience she connected to visits to Mexico and Brazil. A point of intersection was her interest in folk traditions, such as the flamenco, which resonated with what she learned from the oral traditions of Afro-Mestizo communities living along the Atlantic coast in Mexico.
"At the heart of these forms is a sense of survival and resistance," she said, noting that those traditions also reminded her of the storytelling practiced over the generations by her extended family. "These were different contexts where I could locate a similar thread."
Closer to home, Smith finds inspiration from the community of writers who are her fellow faculty members. She also is responsible for the Lewis Center's Althea Ward Clark Reading Series, which brings well-known authors to campus. "It is a nice way of augmenting the number of voices to which our students can be exposed. I remember from my own time as a student how important it can be to hear the writing the way the authors hear it," she said.
Already Smith is gathering ideas for her next phase of writing as she waits to see where the magic will take her. "I'm in such a new place right now that I don't know where I'm going," she said, noting that her thoughts are swirling around ideas to do with science fiction, the environment and immigration. "I'm curious about different versions of the future," she said, adding, "I am also sure that private events in my life will play a role in pulling things in one direction or another."
"Flores Woman"
A species of tiny human has been discovered, which
lived on the remote Indonesian island of Flores just
18,000 years ago. ... Researchers have so far unearthed
remains from eight individuals who were just one
[meter] tall, with grapefruit-sized skulls. These
astonishing little people ... made tools, hunted tiny
elephants and lived at the same time as modern
humans who were colonizing the area.
Nature, October 2004
Light: lifted, I stretch my brief body.
Color: blaze of day behind blank eyes.
Sound: birds stab greedy beaks
Into trunk and seed, spill husk
Onto the heap where my dreaming
And my loving live.
Every day I wake to this.
Tracks follow the heavy beasts
Back to where they huddle, herd.
Hunt: a dance against hunger.
Music: feast and fear.
This island becomes us.
Trees cap our sky. It rustles with delight
In a voice green as lust. Reptiles
Drag night from their tails,
Live by the dark. A rage of waves
Protects the horizon, which we would devour.
One day I want to dive in and drift,
Legs and arms wracked with danger.
Like a dark star. I want to last.
