ASIA FOCUS: Why Australian investors should consider Malaysian real estate
In my previous post, I highlighted some real estate opportunities in the growing economies of Asia. In this article, I zoom into one country within ASEAN where strong economic performance since the Asian financial crisis in 1997 has translated into strong growth in its job markets and real estate values and its emergence from the global financial crisis relatively unscathed.
Malaysia, with all its natural resources, relatively efficient and language-friendly workforce, stable government, healthy foreign investments and good standing within the ASEAN and international community, has somewhat lagged behind neighbouring Singapore in terms of economic growth and prosperity. However, this country has its own unique investment propositions that other developed nations may be lacking.
This article examines some key issues and why Australian property investors may consider investing in Malaysia.
What are the benefits of investing in Malaysia? – The Malaysian story
Over the last fifteen years, Malaysia's economy grew by an average of approximately 6.4% per annum. It is the third largest economy in ASEAN behind Indonesia and Thailand and the twenty ninth largest in the world. The late 1980s saw significant foreign investments into the country where its industrial sector experienced significant growth into the mid 1990s.
Malaysia has significant natural and agricultural resources and is one of the largest oil palm producers in the world.
It also has a very strong and vibrant oil and gas industry. In recent years, Malaysia has developed significant capabilities in knowledge-based services and manufacturing of high-value technological goods such as semi-conductors, IT and telecommunications equipment which have contributed to its growth in GDP and productivity.
During this time, Kuala Lumpur was also bestowed with the Petronas Twin Towers which has since become an iconic symbol for the Malaysian capital. History will show that it is powerful to invest in what is now a new term called "dramatic architecture". Symbolically, it defines a destination, lends credence and puts it on the world map.
Singapore has yet again proven this to be true with the Marina Bay Sands. This S$8 billion integrated casino resort and hotel investment has been so successful, its financial commitments have been recouped in less than a couple of years. But the implications of success goes beyond financial terms.

So what are the pros and cons? Lets take a closer look as each pertinent element.
Investment climate and first home ownership
The dream of owing a home in Australia since the withdrawal of the First Home Owners Grant and the recent property boom is almost non-existent for first home buyers who are choosing to live within a radius of 10km of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. The entry costs of a first home in Australia is now beyond many first home buyers because our markets have moved beyond the growth in wages. With the impending carbon tax, mining tax, increase in energy, petrol and food prices, many investors are spooked about where the economy is headed. This is not helped by Australia's current two-speed economy where BHP Billiton has just reported a $23.5 billion net profit while the retail, manufacturing, export, tourism and education are experiencing one of its toughest years on record.
Malaysia has similarly experienced a real estate boom albeit this boom has been experienced predominantly around parts of its capital city. Generally, wages growth in Malaysia has also not kept pace with its economic growth and inflation. As a result, first home buyers in Malaysia are doing it tough just like our own. An average terrace or town house in and around Kuala Lumpur now cost upwards of around RM1,000,000 (approximately A$320,000).
Malaysian property prices
Unlike Singapore and Hong Kong where scarcity of land and demand has driven private property prices to levels unaffordable even by a majority of their locals, Malaysian property prices are still relatively affordable.
The average Singaporean wage earner will generally be limited to purchasing Housing Development Board (HDB) flats which are essentially government housing because private property is well beyond their means. On the other hand, their Malaysian counterparts are able to afford private landed properties because prices are at affordable levels to middle class Malaysians.
Malaysians and expatriates are also enjoying the "best of both worlds" of inexpensive cost of living, idyllic lifestyle of cheap domestic help and chauffeur services whilst being able to take advantage of the close proximity of Singapore's local attractions and amenities such as dining, shopping and quality healthcare. Singapore is approximately a 5-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur.
Real estate growth history
Selected areas in and around the capital cities of Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Kuching and Ipoh have experienced good growth in recent years. This has been due to the growth in population in recent years. Malaysia and Australia used to share similar population numbers of about 18 million. While fertility rates in Australia has been declining until recent years with the incentive of the baby bonus, Malaysia's population has grown to approximately 28 million compared to 22 million for Australia.
Many locals in Kuala Lumpur favour inner city living although large housing estates have opened up in Kepong, Puchong, Serdang, Salak South, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kota Damansara and Cheras. These developments have spread the population over wider areas of the Klang Valley where Kuala Lumpur is located and has resulted in numerous highways and new ring roads being constructed to cater for this growth in transportation demand.
As a result, real estate in prime locations have significantly appreciated in value which is not dissimilar to the growth in and around Australian capital cities.
Lifestyle, cost of living and retirement
The capital city of Kuala Lumpur is a melting pot of the Chinese, Malay and Indian cultures. It is highly developed in terms of infrastructure, public amenities and telecommunication facilities. Internet wi-fi is more readily available in public places such as the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, hotels, cafes and restaurants than in Sydney or Melbourne.
The cost of a meal consisting local Malaysian fare in Kuala Lumpur is anywhere between A$1 in hawker stalls up to approximately A$5 in cafes and restaurants. Mid-tier and fine dining restaurants are also widely available in large shopping malls and international hotels.
Middle class Malaysians and expatriates enjoy an idyllic lifestyle of strong public amenities and a range of social and entertainment options.
Many locals and expatriates have full-time domestic help to assist with all the household chores. A domestic maid or nanny for childcare costs approximately RM500 per month (approximately A$160 per month). A full-time chauffeur from 8.00am – 6.00pm Mondays to Fridays (who is also responsible for keeping the vehicle clean and tidy) costs approximately RM1,000 per month (A$320 per month).
As a consequence of these factors, the cost of retirement in Malaysia is relatively inexpensive due to cheaper housing and cost of living. In contrast, a recent article by CNN found Sydney and Melbourne to be among the top 20 most expensive cities to live in the world.
Owing a brand new 3-bedroom apartment outright and free of mortgage with all the modern facilities for less than A$300,000 in idyllic beachside locations with public amenities and relatively low cost of living becomes a very real option for those who are unable to do so in their home country.
Political stability
Just like any government today, the Malaysian government is not free from its criticisms. Most notably, its handling, dismissal and subsequent jailing of its former Deputy Prime Minister and now Opposition proponent Anwar Ibrahim was widely critisized as being unjust and a violation of human rights by the international community.
Malaysia practices positive discrimination for its bumiputra and indigenous Malays and hence, its government machinery is widely seen by the minority locals and the international community as flawed because of the absence of a system of meritocracy.
Under its former prime minister Tun Mahathir Mohamad who held the post for 22 years from 1981 to 2003, Malaysia experienced considerable economic progress although is it widely argued that a lot more could have also been achieved should Malaysia had adopted a pure democratic society. Under Mahathir's "guided democracy", wealth was widely redistributed from the majority of business capitalisation held by the minority Chinese to the majority Malay population through various government-sactioned laws and regulations. It was the government and its ruling party, Barisan Nasional's so-called "stabilizing" factor to avoid "unhealthy" undercurrents where a minority sector was holding onto the majority of the nation's wealth. Nevertheless, Malaysia has progressed economically over the last fifteen years albeit less impressive compared to its former state of Singapore. Like Australia, it has also emerged from the global financial crisis relatively unscathed.
It is widely accepted that it will be difficult for Malaysia's economic progress to rival that of its neighbouring Singapore but on the other hand, Malaysia's standard of living is also considerably higher than most of its ASEAN counterparts.
Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program
One of the key incentives that foreign investors can take full advantage of is the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program. It is a government incentive administered through the Ministry of Tourism where the Malaysian government is actively encouraging eligible foreigners, expatriates and foreign investors to work, live and retire in Malaysia.
Some incentives include ease of opening bank accounts, repatriation of funds to and from Malaysia, tax free car repatriation, discounts for golf memberships and the eligibility to live indefinitely in Malaysia subject to certain criteria.
As the cost of living and retirement soars in Australia, I believe good Malaysian real estate presents very real opportunities for Australians who cannot afford to retire in Australia. Indeed, the paradox of Singapore having the highest number of millionaires per capita in the world is that many of its citizens are unable to retire simply because of the escalating cost of housing and the high cost of owing a private motor vehicle.
Finance, legal and tax
The ease of obtaining finance for buying real estate in Malaysia vary depending on ownership status. Foreigners with a work permit are generally allowed to borrow up to 85% while foreigners who are eligible under the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program can borrow up to 80% to buy propertues with a minimum value of RM500,000 (approximately A$160,000).
There is generally no legal or government restrictions for foreign ownership of private property.
Real property gains tax of 5% is payable on disposal of private property held for less than five years as per the Malaysian budget 2010 announcement. Private property held and disposed after five years are exempt from RPGT. This imposition is favourable compared to Australia's RPGT regime.
Stamp duties rates are as follows:
First RM100,000 1%
Above RM2,000,000 4%
Stamp duty for home loan agreements is 0.5% for any amount of loan taken.
Conclusion – should Australian investors consider Malaysian real estate?
The question of whether to invest is obviously more easily answered if we are purchasing a first home to live in where the risks are significantly reduced. It is near impossible to spot the lowest point of entry into a property market because of so many factors. Personally, the best time is when opportunities present themselves when we are in the market to invest. Such opportunities are usually brought about by a combination of economic cycles, market inefficiencies, market knowledge and experience.
As a property investor myself, I would naturally be very cautious investing in a market which I have little knowledge about.
There are numerous factors which weigh against a foreign investor and this includes a lack of understanding and local knowledge of the Malaysian real estate market. This can significantly increase the risks which include purchasing a property in the wrong location and from poor quality developers. However, these risks can be mitigated through collaboration with parties who have knowledge of the local market and a strong network of financiers, brokers and reputable developers with quality and track record.
My own property investment experience in Malaysia
Having spent my formative years in Kuala Lumpur and having been a senior executive with one of Malaysia's largest most successful conglomerates for many years, I have the benefit of local knowledge and networking. I believe this is the single most important factor in minimising risk and making mistakes in real estate investments. The English language is widely spoken throughout the country which makes it easy for foreigners and tourists alike to do business in Malaysia.
Most importantly, having lived and invested in real estate in both countries, I am able to draw parallels and decipher the pros and cons about real estate investment in Australia and Malaysia.
Favourable factors that give Australian investors a distinct advantage:
- Current favourable exchange rate of A$1 to 3.2 Malaysian ringgit is at its highest in almost twenty years. The Australian dollar was buying as low as 1.75 Malaysian ringgit in May 1993.
- Australian real estate values are at all time highs. Refinancing equity to invest in a growing market coupled with the added advantage of the strong Australian dollar makes overseas real estate extremely affordable.
- Relatively lower entry and transaction costs into the Malaysian real estate market. Deposit rates for off-the-plan properties are usually 10% of the total sale price. For a typical Malaysian investment property worth the equivalent of A$300,000, the deposit to be paid based on current exchange rate is merely A$30,000.
- Relatively easy process to obtain financing for foreign investors who are eligible to purchase private property. We can arrange finance through local Malaysian banks at competitive interest rates of between 5 – 6% per annum.
- After sales and property management services. Our team of real estate agents and property managers will ensure efficient procurement of quality tenants and maintenance of your investment properties.
- No exit restrictions and capital gains tax is minimal at 5%. Private properties held for more than five years are not subject to capital gains tax.
- Relatively inexpensive retirement option under the MM2H whilst taking advantage of Malaysia's idyllic lifestyle around beach locations such as Penang, Port Dickson and Kuala Lumpur.
- Close proximity to Australia and the financial centres of Singapore and Hong Kong. Malaysia is also central to the growing economies and tourist hotspots of Thailand and Vietnam.
Who should consider investing in Malaysian real estate?
- Investors and high net worth individuals who are looking to diversify their investment portfolios.
- Investors who are within retirement age and are not able to retire on existing funds and are looking for a lower cost alternative without compromising living standards.
- Investors with high levels of savings and disposable income.
- Investors who are planning retirement within the next five years.
- Expatriates who are working in Malaysia.

BMC names West Roxbury resident chief of pediatrics
West Roxbury resident Robert J. Vinci has been appointed chief of pediatrics at Boston Medical Center and the Joel and Barbara Alpert professor and chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at BU School of Medicine.
For the past 20 years Vinci has served as vice chairman and clinical chief of the pediatrics department where he helped lead the expansion of pediatric clinical services at BMC--one of the largest providers of pediatric services to low-income children in Boston
"We are fortunate to have someone of his skill level to lead the department. His commitment to the community and to our patients is highlighted by his central role in a number of initiatives at BMC," said BMC president and CEO Kate Walsh said in a statement.
Vinci also co-founded the Kids Fund at BMC, which provides assistance for children's most basic needs to give them a foundation for a healthy and bright future, and led the campaign to establish Kids Can't Fly, a window fall prevention program for children in Boston that has led to a dramatic decrease in the number of window fall-related injuries.
In partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Vinci led the establishment of the Massachusetts Emergency Medical Services Program for Children, which created training protocols and guidelines for children in the statewide EMS system.
Vinci received his medical degree from the College of Medicine and Dentistry-Rutgers Medical
School, now known as the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. He completed his pediatric
residency at the former Boston City Hospital (now BMC), serving as chief resident, in 1983.
He joined the Department of Pediatrics at Boston University School of Medicine in 1984 and two years later he established the Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine at Boston City Hospital.
In 1988, he founded the fellowship program in Pediatric Emergency Medicine at BMC and has directed pediatric residency training since 1989. In 1996, Vinci, with Frederick H. Lovejoy, MD, established the Boston Combined Residency Program in Pediatrics, one of the nation's leading pediatric residency programs.
"He has championed research activities, global health training and flexible training opportunities for pediatric residents," BUSM Dean Karen Antman, M.D., said in a statement.
Vinci has authored more than 60 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters on the topics of
pediatric emergency medicine and pediatric education. He also has received numerous awards
for teaching and mentoring, including BUSM's Leonard Tow Humanism in Medicine Award
in 2010.
He is a member of the National Board of Directors for the Association of Pediatric Program Directors, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Academic Pediatric Association and the Academic Pediatric Society.

Kent State University has a new policy requiring all international students to enroll in the insurance provided by Kent State University. Students will be automatically enrolled and charged for this insurance. For Fall 2015 the insurance fee was $821. For Spring 2016 (includes coverage for Summer 2016) the insurance fee was $1,169. There are no exceptions to this policy.
Kent State University is experiencing a housing shortage and therefore cannot guarantee on-campus housing to incoming exchange students who are not coming as part of ISEP. The Office of Global Education does have resources to aid students in finding off-campus housing, and our staff is also here to help you.
On-campus Housing
Applying for housing does not guarantee that you will be able to get on-campus housing. On-campus housing is given on a first-come first-serve basis, so it is important that you apply for housing as soon as you have been accepted to Kent State.

Below are some suggested apartment complexes to check:
College Towers: This complex is located directly behind Van Campen Hall where the Office of Global Education is located, so while it is technically off campus, the location is very convenient. The location is very good for international students because it is close to OGE and the bus stop. College Towers also has a lot of flexible options for students, and it is less expensive than our residence halls. A co-signer is not required for international students if they show a copy of their I-20 form.
Kent Apartments: This company oversees many apartment complexes in the Kent area and oversees College Towers.
Here are some other resources:
Many of these apartment complexes are unfurnished, but there is a furniture renting company called CORT, and other resources are available to find inexpensive furniture and household goods.

James and Daniel started Kung Fu lessons last week. They both love it and I think it's going to be a big help for James with the behavior/attitude problems we've had of late. Good physical outlet, discipline, respect, all rolled up in one tidy little package.
Of course, now he'll learn how to sneak up Ninja-style on his siblings more effectively. And he'll learn how to wield swords and spears.
Oh my. What have I done ....?

I consider m'lady's freely given gifts to be worth far more than my own current preferences, and far be it from me to add to her already busy schedule with requests or any frivolous such thing.
Just curious, do you guys prefer the manga or the LN?

i like the light novel (summaries at least) just because of it having more content; i think i'd put them about equal or manga more if it were caught up to the LN point
but alas, there's still a helluva way to go before manga hits where LN is (or LN continuing for that matter) which is so very depressing to think about

If I could have 100 chapters of the manga, I'd probably prefer it
I like all versions, actually. Artwise, Rettousei is superior. On the other hand, Yuutousei offers additional insights which are not covered at all, which makes it extra interesting.

This has all of that, particularly if you read the light novels -- but if you're looking for pure shounen action or rom-com style .. you're likely in the wrong place. The protagonist is powerful, but he's definitely not a "hero" in a traditional sense.

just kidding..
no i actually loved the series at start... then as i got into it, my head exploded from all the explanations and technical stuff.
I read a LN to laugh and have fun, not try to make sense of physics and concepts.
I really dont like it when a manga tries to write its own rules with physics, because then you have way too much info you need to remember which doesnt apply to anything but this series.

I suppose it's all preference really. Everyone has something they like and dislike.
I actually appreciate the way Mahouka goes into all these technicalities in regards to magic. Having all these explanations serves to increase my immersion into the work and not just think its your typical work that goes on with magic but never actually explain how it works. After all, you can't really assume that the our world works the same way as the one in the story, thus rewriting reality to suit the author's needs and explaining it is a vital part of a good story (opinion wise).
This is probably one of the few reasons why I like both To Aru Majutsu no Index and Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei.
And as for reading works, having a good laugh is of course appreciated, but having a good plot and well thought out universe is another thing that attracts me to a story. Although if it's too depressing it might repel me even though it has a good story...

The best thing is that these explanations are actually believable!
For Mahouka, it can't be considered mediocre. Because not everyone can write a series like that. Sure, on the surface, it appears shounen-ppoi, but it's more than just that. Perhaps it's not obvious in the manga, but one of the main commendable parts is that the story is very well fleshed out and many traits and tendencies of the characters are gradually inferred rather than being told. The setting is extremely detailed, and there's also a kind of congruency across arcs with respect to characters and plots that can only make one think that the author has done a lot of pre-planning and many things have been well-thought out. Furthermore, when the author uses computer science and physics to explain the basis of magic, he actually knows most of the subject matter that he's talking about, which makes it very believable. There are also a number of other things, but I just realized that this is the manga thread LOL so I won't go further. It also has its weaknesses which I won't go into as well. But if you ever have the chance to read the novel and judge it objectively, this is by no means mediocre.
And certainly, you are not an idiot for not liking it as much as others. It might just not be your cup of tea and thus has low entertainment value to you. Like what others have pointed out when they are talking about preference.
(There are also some who are into this series because of the brocon sister though )

Lies. Her Highness has so much more going for her than just that one aspect. To focus on that would be to lose sight of all the other qualities which make her such a great character. Her personality, charm, faithfulness, dere possessiveness, honesty, and much more besides are what truly define her. Of course her love for her Onii sama also counts, but it's more like a bonus. What makes Miyuki great is simply her being Miyuki.
..................although of course in no way is Miyuki the only reason Mahouka is good. Er. Tatsuya is a pretty great MC too. And the other dudes. Yeah.
Ch 3 is 1/3 done. Word density: greater than lead. Combat effectiveness: low. Reinforcements ETA: unknown
Completed Your Highness! o>

Yuutousei chapter 3 half done here, just wait a litlle more. Also, don't forget I'm a evil, so I can being a troll again.
About Miyuki, I was reading about how nice will be if she and Tatsuya end up together with the two of them being blood related.
I don't realy mind that aspect. I mean, Miyuki is a great character for being her, nothing more.
I think people will notice that fact when they will able to read about the Shiba sibilings' past.
Hmmm, now I remember, in Yuutousei 2 there are 2 important things in images:
1) Tatsuya and a lost knife.
2) Maya has a pretty similar face (?) to the Miyuki's, or so I think.

Think about it! Incest simply concentrates genes. Generally this means bad ones, because they're the ones which are prone to be recessive (if they weren't you'd be dead) and someone in your family would be more likely have more copies of em than someone else at random in the population. So your children are statistically more likely to come out with with those genes expressed, which in general again are the bad ones (the good ones would likely be dominant since they confer competitive advantage.. etcetc.. 101 ftw). Inbreeding depression would only result further down the line.. blahblah..
On the other hand.. what if you were bringing together superior genes? As in, really really superior genes? Yeah. That's right.

The Life And Awesomeness Of A Surfer-Turned-Billionaire, GoPro Founder Nick Woodman (GPRO)
Published 4:03 pm, Thursday, June 26, 2014
Nicholas Woodman, 38, is a self-made billionaire.
He created Woodman Labs, the maker of GoPro cameras, in 2002. Now the company has more than 500 employees and it generated $986 million in 2013.
It started trading on public markets this morning. It's currently valued at $2.6 billion.
Woodman married his college sweetheart and has two children. He's also an adrenaline junkie.
Here's the fabulous life and career of Woodman, the surfer-dude-turned-billionaire.
This is Nick Goodman. He's 38 and his company GoPro has made him a billionaire.
This is a GoPro. It's a camera designed for heavy-duty action, like skydiving and surfing. It goes (and survives) where other cameras can't.
Woodman — an adventure junkie — currently lives a pretty fabulous life. But he had to work hard for it.

Form a California LLC
The owners of the LLC are called members. The members are the LLC equivalent of corporate shareholders. Rather than shares, these members have membership interests. The members enter into an Operating Agreement which governs the LLC and the member's rights and responsibilities. The Operating Agreement is the LLC equivalent of corporate bylaws. An LLC Operating Agreement can generally be viewed as allowing a high degree of flexibility in structuring member financial interests in comparison to an S Corporation.

Outreach is a vital component of my overall science program. Scientific information is often interpreted to the public long after it has been discovered and often by people removed from the scientific process. I strive for an immediate sharing of science with the public through both traditional outlets and web-based dialogues that allow me to interact with the public more intimately.
Deep-Sea News (http://deepseanews.com) is a blog, I founded and now serve as its chief editor. Deep-Sea News is considered the most popular marine blog on the web (rated by Nature Blog Network) and since August 2004 our traffic has increased to over 100,000 visitors a month. Deep-Sea News has won multiple awards (EcoDardevil, Thinking Blogger Award, OpenLab 2007-2011/Best of Science Writing on the Web) for the website and enjoyed collaborating with Seed Media, Science, Nature, and National Geographic on web initiatives. Deep-Sea News was featured content on the Discovery Channel (6/08-12/08) and Scienceblogs (1/06-6/08). My work with Deep-Sea News continues to be highlighted. "Deep Sea News casts back to the best traditions of popular science, sparking curiosity and bewonderment, explaining the phenomena in comprehensible language. It's all about communication between the expert and an interested reader, a transfer of knowledge and ideas, sharing the passion. Deep Sea News is a solid blog with wide appeal. Recommended."-Blog Critics Magazine. DSN is highlighted in the Charlotte Observer by Scott Huler: Online Science Conference Draws 250, in the NewsObserver, Columbian Journalism Review, and NPR's Where We Live: Explorers. The most up-to-date list of coverage can be seen over at DSN.
Along with Deep-Sea News, my writing is featured at several popular media outlets. Some of my favorites are
Archangel with Aqua-Lung at American Scientist
An Empire Lacking Food at American Scientist
Scientists Take Darwin on the Road at Pacific Standard
On Sticking Your Arm Into an Underwater Cavern and Hoping a Catfish Bites You at Mental Floss
What the deep seas tell us about life on other planets at io9
The Mass Extinction of Scientists Who Study Species at Wired
How presidential elections are impacted by a 100 million year old coastline at Deep-Sea News
A Lonely Tree Far From Home Brings New Life to the Deep Sea at Deep-Sea News
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow at Deep-Sea News
If I Was a Hagfish Could I Get with Tall Blonds at Deep-Sea News
The Evolution of Iron-Clad Samurai Snails with Gold Feet at Deep-Sea News
My research continues to generate considerable press including Fox News, Discovery Channel, and National Public Radio.
- Coverage on my work finding that processes that shape size evolution in the deep sea are similar to processes on islands with both being driven by food availability. MBARI Press Release, NPR News (audio link), Science News for Kids, Fox News, Mid-County Post, AquaNews from the Vancouver Aquarium, Discovery News.
- Video describing my new research on the biodiversity of Davidson Seamount. Although most seamount organisms can also be found in other deep-sea areas, seamounts do support particularly large, dense clusters of these animals rare in other habitats. Press release from MBARI, Article metrics from PLoS One, the paper discussed at Conservation Magazine, and Eclectic Echos.
- Video detailing my research on biodiversity of submarine canyons in Ecology (Press Release). Surplus food can be a double-edged sword for bottom-feeders in the ocean deep. While extra nutrients give a boost to large animals on the deep sea floor, the feeding frenzy that results wreaks havoc on smaller animals in the seafloor sediment. The paper was discussed on Science News and Down to Earth.
- My talk "An Empire Lacking Food: The Astonishing Existence of Life on the Deep-Sea Floor" as part of the American Scientist Pizza Lunch series. Science Writer Delene Beeland covers it nicely for Science in the Triangle and her blog Wild Muse. Bora also includes a bit of a write up at A Blog Around the Clock. Video of the talk can be seen at American Scientist.
- In the food poor, homogenous mud flats of the deep sea, how can so many species coexist? The answer is snow…The deep-sea floor is essentially a patchwork quilt of different small habitats. io9, Wired, and Discovery cover my recent work.
I also often serve as consultant to the mainstream media.
- Brian Ross and the Investigative Team at ABC News discuss dumping of munitions in the deep. The piece features two of quotes from me.
- I discuss the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, tipping points, and inter-connections between species and habitats at Wired.com and Talk Nation radio.
- A set of giant isopod pictures are distributed across the internet and Iscopocaplyse 2010 follows. I am interviewed at Fox News about giant isopods, interviewed at MSNBC's Cosmic Log. Deep-Sea News posts highlighted about Giant Isopods are highlighted as well as excerpted at National Geographic News. Kevin Zelnio and I are interviewed at AOL News and highlighted at Discovery News about giant isopods. My interview at MSNBC is excerpted at Australia's Channel 9 News MSN. I am quoted on Mother Nature Network about giant isopods and my isopocalypse story picked up by National Geographic Wild.
- Virginia Gewin writes about scientists fostering online personas for Nature. The article is well researched and discusses a variety of scenarios from a variety of online personalities.
- Cameron completed a manned dive to the Marianas Trench. Along with Sylvia Earle, I discuss this feat on NPR's Talking Points (you can listen here). In contrast to the positiveness of this story,io9 also features my blog post on the death of deep-sea science.
- I repeatedly serve as an expert on bizarre and oddly proportioned animals, e.g. super jellyfish, sewer monsters, and placental jellyfish.
A key part of my outreach is training and providing commentary on different strategies of engaging the public. I have developed and taught workshops on social media for scientists for engagement with the public and other scientists (Oregon State University 2012, University of Lund 2013). I was keynote lecturer for Oceans Online 2013 and discussed how to build an effective social media outreach campaign. I have been an invited panelist for several discussions on social media outreach (Union of Concerned Scientists Science of Social Media, National Academy of Science Roundtable Discussion on the Public Interfaces of the Life Sciences, Grist's Seas the Day Forum). I also coauthored a chapter titled "Digital Environmentalism: Tools and strategies for the evolving online ecosystem" and have a forthcoming paper titled "The knowns, unknowns, and unknowables of social media outreach".
And last some interviews. Duke Research interviews me and asks 5 questions about ocean biodiversity, body size variation, blue whales, municipal water supplies, giant squids, cell membranes, giant isopods, islands, Victorian science, and of course the deep sea. Yeah I cover a lot. An interview with Bora Zivkovic on my beginnings as a marine biologist, science blogging, serving as an editor for PLoS, and open-access publishing. As a guest of Radio in Vivo, I discuss body size and biodiversity of the deep sea, ecology of seamounts, science blogging, and outreach. The podcast (mp3) can be heard online.

High doses of gamma radiation (10 Krad) in Biomphalaria tenagophila snails (Taim strain), which have been found to be resistant to Schistosoma mansoni, were not sufficient to impair their resistance to the parasite. The number of hemocytes, as well as their phagocytic activity, were not affected by irradiation, thus showing resemblance with mammal macrophages, which are resistant to gamma irradiation also.

ZURICH (Dec. 5)
Emphasizing that the older generation of Germans continues to display sympathy with Jews in the city of Stuttgart, the Stuttgarter Zeitung publishes an article demanding complete segregation of the Jews and stricter measures against "Aryans" still maintaining relations with former Jewish neighbors.
The Nazi paper reports that a German woman was overheard in the street saying to a Jew that "it requires more courage to carry a yellow badge than to fight on the front line." It also relates incidents of how Germans of the older generation are publicly shaking hands with Jews as an expression of sympathy with the latter. It similarly complains that in the street cars one can still see "Aryans" vacate their seats for Jewish women.

Gala and Wedding Tents/Structures
Gala / Wedding Clearspan Tents
Galas & Weddings:
If you're planning a prestigious event under tent the best option is a Clearspan. When planning a High End event under tent there is always a looming anxiety about adverse weather. Common tenting questions we receive from customers are: What if it's too hot? What if it is too Cold? What if it is raining & blowing? If your event is under a Clearspan Tent the response is "Don't worry about it." Clearspan tents are engineered to handle winds and with tracked walls as a standard option and the capability to add glass entry doors for entrances and exits, you are in good hands with the construction of our tent rentals.
The tracked tent walls and optional glass entry tent doors create a weather tight environment that makes the addition of tent air conditioning and/or tent heating options much more effective than it is in a traditional tent. When it comes to rain the tent isn't going to leak, but there is always a concern about wet ground. Tent Flooring eliminates this issue. We have a few different tent rental options when it comes to tent flooring, but the bottom line is it creates an elevated dry surface and further ensures a comfortable environment for your guest.
If you are trying to impress your guest, a Clearspan Tent Rental will do most of the work!
Our Clearspan tenting structures offer tracked sidewalls and the ability to add glass entry tent doors along with the ability to efficiently offer climate control wedding tents. This translates into a room that we can bring right outside the door of your facility that is weather tight and the appropriate temperature no matter the weather.
Our Clearspan Tents offer immediate onsite storage space combined with the flexibility of being installed on virtually any semi-level surface (asphalt, concrete, grass, dirt, etc). Standard perimeter Leg height is 11', but custom door entries are available elevating entrances to over 13' to allow for easier access in & out with large equipment.
Unlike traditional tents our Clearspan tents have no interior poles to work around when mapping out racking or the production process inside the tents for weddings tent. Additionally our Clearspan tents are equipped with tracked sidewalls that allow for a weather proof environment for your more sensitive products to be stored in.
If you wish to use one of these tents as a flex work space we can easily add Climate Control with Heat and/or Air-conditioning to keep employee morale up and ensure maximum productivity.
Keep in mind that for long term tenting projects, we offer discounted rates!

Intake air temperature, oxygen, knock, mass air flow – some of these sensor names are still Greek to many people out there. For those that know what they are, you have really only used these words in tuning for the last few decades. A new computer bought today is old technology tomorrow and while the automotive technology can lag, recently it has caught back up with the information age. This all sounds like a trip around the "Spaceship Earth" ride at Epcot, but it's a reality that has been emerging more and more in the performance aftermarket in just the last couple years.
I built my first performance vehicle in the late 1990s and I remember paying a lot of money to get it tuned, at best, semi "correctly". There was that one guy in my town (or that you had to fly in) that specialized in the type of aftermarket standalone ECU I had. He charged me an exorbitant amount of money to dyno test it, because he knew that he was the only one that could do it. Whether it was switch chips, EPROMs or the more advanced 'on the fly' tuners that still needed to be shut down between adjustments. It was a bunch of numbers on a grid that was ran on MS-DOS-looking programs. It sucked.
Remember all the gauges? It was like sitting in the cockpit of a commercial airliner. Boost, coolant temp, fuel pressure, oil pressure, oil temperature, EGT (pyrometer), air/fuel, and more could be seen in ONE vehicle at any local hang out spot. There are even companies that specialize in making gauge holders that fit in inconspicuous places just because there was no more room on your pillar, dash, and air vents. Between the tuning and gauges cost, you were knee deep in a second mortgage on your house.
Finally (thank God) technology has caught up. No longer do you need a pillar full of gauges to get the information you need or pay a tuner to fly in to tune your vehicle. Don't get me wrong, pillar gauges are still a vital asset to have – I have an AEM boost and water/meth gauge in my 2011 Mustang – but the less vital gauges can now be consolidated into LCD displays.
For example, I use SCT's Touch Screen Xtreme at the track to both monitor and datalog intake air temp, coolant temp, and my wide band, plus load in track-only tunes. Plus, the tune in my vehicle is so stable that I don't need to look at anything else while I drive. Additionally, an AEM X-WIFI wirelessly streams dual EGT and a single channel wide band directly to my iPhone…without the need of an app. Now anyone has the ability to monitor over 50 critical engine functions with a single device.
An additional option that has made monitoring easier is the addition of 0-5 volts output from an electronic gauge controller. This added feature allows a single gauge signal to be inputed into a variety of data loggers and stand alones.
Where prices have tumbled the most in the last 10 years is the cost of tuning. While stand alones still have their place in racing, factory computers have become so advanced that power levels of over 1000HP on the stock PCM is now a reality. More manufactures are using wide band 02 sensors from the factory, (like the 2011 Mustang) as it offers spot-on air/fuel ratios regardless of driving conditions. They are so repeatable that you can simply tell a tuner what modifications are on the vehicle and get a properly-operating tune right in your email inbox. For carbureted folks that are scared to convert, there are kits like FAST's EZ-EFI that installs on a vehicle in a few hours and never has to be taken to a dyno to tune.
While the 1960s might have been the best time to be a muscle car enthusiast, I believe that 40 years down the road the late 2000s will become the new prime era to own muscle cars. Not only are the vehicles more powerful, but the ability to make more horsepower has become so much easier.

Sleep Deprived Dad Learns His Lessonby
Sleep is one of those things that most of the people I know regard as something that gets in the way of getting ahead in life. How else are we supposed to fit an 8-10 hour work day, read, eat healthy, workout, socialize and work on side projects? I am among those sleep offenders. I routinely stay up late thinking that I am really getting some work done or am finally making progress on the projects I've been putting off. This is a habit that I have formed a LONG time ago. It began with playing video games late into the night, continued on with having friends come over late in the PM and is still going on while I struggle to raise two kids. The big difference now is, I am aware of the importance of sleep and exactly how it affects me.
Sleep Deprivation – A National Epidemic
I am sleep deprived and I know I am not alone. A recent study reported that 30% of adults (21 and older) in US, on average, get less the 6 hours of sleep per day. Only 30% of high school students reported getting 8 hours of sleep on a given school night. Sleep deprivation is a hidden epidemic. Insufficient sleep is a major reason behind some major diseases like diabetes, hypertension, depression and so many more. How many car crashes and work related injuries happen because of lack of sleep? It's hard to say exactly, but I bet it is a major factor. Considering your ability to focus and your cognitive abilities get drastically reduced with insufficient sleep.
OK, I sort of knew all of this, but didn't think I was being affected this way. It's all the other people out there that can't function when they're sleepy. Weaklings… [sarcasm][sort of]. I don't know if I actually thought that, but that's how I acted.
Lesson: How to ruin a perfectly good plan
I work as a freelancer of sorts and have a fairly flexible schedule. This is something that is fairy new to me, considering I worked 6 years in a retail sales environment where every day was pre-scheduled for me. I had to adapt to having a lot more control over my schedule, this meant learning to get more organized. I always had an interest in developing organizational skills. From a very young age my grandpa taught me the importance of planning out your day in detail the day before. His theory was that if you left it till the day of… you would not get much done. It took me 20+ years to really appreciate the true value of that habit. So now, I write out my day the day before and it works magically! On the days that have been planned out, I typically accomplish a great amount of tasks, I feel good about my self and I have a lot less stress going through the day because I know what I need to do and I don't have to spend the energy making those decisions during the day…
NOW, let's look at what happens when sleep deprivation creeps in. I have had the habit of planning out my next day in place for over a year. I can't say I am perfect at writing out my plans and executing those plans… I often get overly ambitious with my plans and get upset when I don't meet some of my goals for the day. Some days emergencies come up… kids getting sick, car breaking down, laptop HD failing… you know, life stuff. But I am generally pretty good at staying on task.
For the 2 weeks, it has been the perfect storm… sleep deprivation galore! It started with a couple of late nights after some hockey games. I can't seem to fall asleep after a late hockey game (11pm games are rough). I stay up until 1 or 2 in the morning, messing around, watching YouTube videos, reading blogs, etc. Combine that with a my 8 month old baby teething and waking up 3 to 5 times at night for the past 2-3 weeks. Mix in my oldest daughter getting sick for 4 days with a fever and needing to be taken care of… Add a dash of partying for my wife and I's birthday BBQ. And top it off with my wife and I both getting sick… and you have the perfect storm!
I started to see most of the habits I have fought so hard to instil begin to unravel and get replaced with old habits that have seemingly been lurking in the background, waiting for a chance to rear their ugly heads. Daily planning, specifically, is a habit that I treasure. It has been instrumental to my success. What began to happen when sleep deprivation set in is this. I would make a plan before I go to sleep for the following do, filled with goals and tasks I want to accomplish. I would set a timeframe of when I would like to accomplish those goals and the flow of things during the day.
What would happen is this… I would get woken up 3 or 4 times in the middle of the night by Kylie (8 month old) and would spend 10 to 45 minutes getting her back to sleep. Next, it will be time to wake up and take Sydney (5 year old) to school. I would snooze the alarm 3 or 4 times, crawl out of bed 5 to 15 minutes late and begin scrambling to get my daughter ready for school. After dropping her off to school late, I have started my day on a bad note. I would get home and try to work out as usual. I would get through half of a work out and feel terrible. After ending my workout short, I would feel a bit upset over that little failure as well. Then, after getting ready for the day I would start work. Well, that wouldn't go as planned either. With a few setbacks in the beginning of the day and 3 – 4 hours of poor sleep, it is hard to gather the will power and the focus needed to be productive. After 10 or 15 minutes of working I would find myself drifting off on a tangent, looking at my phone, staring at twitter and the billion articles people post. Hours would go by and I would only get a few things done. I would get a little upset over that as well. To spear you some time, I will summarize what I have noticed.
A little set back in your day will hardly make a difference to most people. An accumulation of minor little set backs over time add up to some serious problems. Over the past 2 weeks I was unable to follow through on a lot of my goals and tasks due to the lack of energy and focus. I started to skip workouts because of feeling exhausted. I began to feel down and upset. My lack of sleep also lead me to give into sugar cravings… I am normally very good at regulating the amount of sweets I eat, but when I am exhausted and sleep deprived, the necessary will power needed from the frontal cortex of your brain to keep you from giving in is simply not there….
Lesson learned: make sleep a priority
It became apparent to me that lack of sleep is in the center of the mess I am creating. Lack of sleep over time can derail even the soundest of plans. And after a several failed plans, you wonder why you even bother planning if you aren't going to follow through. The cure, is surprisingly simple… make sleep your #1 priority. There are lots of articles out there that give great recommendations on how to get yourself to sleep, how much sleep you should get, and good sleep hygiene. Many of these tips are very helpful, but first, you have to understand how important sleep is to you and your own success and internalize the reasons for making it your #1 priority.

Education funding is a top priority for Harold Fevurly Jr. in the House District 42 race.
Reader poll
Fevurly, of Easton, is the Democratic challenger facing another Leavenworth County resident, Republican incumbent Connie O'Brien of Tonganoxie.
Fevurly, who is 50, said he's heard several concerns while campaigning door-to-door regarding education funding.
"It's funded below 1999 levels right now," said Fevurly, a former Pleasant Ridge USD 449 school board member.
The 65-year-old O'Brien, who is seeking her third term, said the economy is the biggest concern among residents. She pointed to a tax bill that is to lower income taxes effective next July as a step toward helping the economy.
O'Brien, a former teacher, said if re-elected she plans to reintroduce a bill introduced late last session that would provide in-state tuition to veterans.
"We've provided for illegal immigrants," O'Brien said. "We can provide for our own citizens who are veterans."
Her intentions stemmed from a conversation with a friend who is in the military. The soldier knew of someone who wanted to attend college in his home state, but it did not offer a degree in which he was interested. Kansas University does, but he would have to pay the more costly out-of-state tuition.
"We want to do all we can for our veterans," O'Brien said. "Everyone talks about that. This is one way we can help them."
She said an influx of veterans also would in turn help the economy.
Fevurly worked some 28 years with the Department of Corrections in Lansing. He took over as director of facilities and grounds for USD 449, which forced him to resign his post on the school board there.
Though education funding is a top priority, he disagrees with O'Brien on the income tax cut.
"However you look at it, the state has to run," he said, noting that no one likes taxes, but residents should pay "their fair share."
"That's going to trickle down to local school boards, counties and cities," he said. "The only way to do that is to raise property taxes to make that difference up."
O'Brien's endorsements include Kansans For Life, the NRA and Kansas Chamber of Commerce.
Fevurly describes himself as a moderate "straight down the middle."

Hank Steinbrenner: Blame the InjuriesAugust 13, 2008
Injuries happen, folks.
As the Yankees sit behind the rival Red Sox and the once-pitiful Rays, Hank Steinbrenner feels a need to continue to point fingers.
"I think it's very simple, we've been devastated by injuries. No team I've ever seen in baseball has been decimated like this. It would kill any team," Steinbrenner said. "Imagine the Red Sox without Josh Beckett and John Lester. Pitching is 70 percent of the game. Wang won 19 games two straight years. Chamberlain became the most dominating pitcher in baseball. You can't lose two guys like that."
The problem is Hank, every time you point a finger, you have three fingers pointing back at yourself. It's called foresight.
In the offseason, you don't build a team with five starting pitchers. You build a team with at least seven starters, so that you can better handle the injury bug.
One example being the Angels, who traded shortstop Orlando Cabrera to the White Sox for starter John Garland in the offseason. This gave the Angels six very strong starting pitchers. Turns out they needed them, after Kelvim Escobar was dealt possibly a career-ending injury, and ace John Lackey was out for the first month of the season.
After Wang was injured running the bases in an interleague game, the Yanks had vacancy at the top of their rotation, and decided to move Joba Chamberlain to the rotation, basically throwing the "Joba rules" out the window. Turns out those rules were put in place for good reason, as Joba recently went down with shoulder tendonitis.
As for stating that he hasn't seen any team in baseball being this decimated by injuries, my first reaction is to fall over laughing. Besides the aforementioned Angels, the A's, the Cardinals, and probably more teams have been just as devastated or more so by injuries this year.
Suck it up, Hank. The Yankees have done pretty well avoiding the injury bug until this season, so feel fortunate. Injuries are a part of baseball.
Maybe Brian Cashman will remember that this offseason.

How quitting online dating services actually helped me find my husband.
I hear it from my clients all the time. "I don't want to do online dating again. I had a terrible experience with that a couple of years ago." or "I tried that. Nothing but losers. I swear."
For me, the common denominator in all my bad experiences with online dating was me. There are a lot of great guys dating online. I managed to get my act together and attract one. I have male clients who are in the online dating scene right now that would be a great catch for any woman. However, if you're unhealthy, if you are sad and lonely, if you're desperate, online dating is a dangerous place to be doing business. In fact, if you're unhealthy, and your dating, you are putting yourself and others at risk, no matter how you're meeting people.
Dating is always a process. It's a numbers game. However, you can't date enough people to find "the one," if you aren't the person you want to be. One of the smartest things I ever did was quit online dating. I quit dating all together, and took the time I needed to heal my heart and manage my issues. The absolute smartest thing I ever did was deciding not to give up on online dating, and get myself back out there when the time was right. If I'd been jaded by all my bad experiences, I would have never met my husband.
Online dating wasn't the problem. I was. The cool thing about owning your problem is, then and only then, can you fix it.

If we resort for a criterion to the different principles on which different forms of government are established, we may define a republic to be, or at least may bestow that name on, a government which derives all its powers directly or indirectly from the great body of the people, and is administered by persons holding their offices during pleasure for a limited period, or during good behavior.

Originally published on TheBoombox.com.
The year was 1993. Hip-hop, only about 20 years old, was dipped in gold. It had reached around the world, a long journey from its origins as a culture created by the improvising youth of New York City. On Nov. 9, A Tribe Called Quest — Q-Tip, Phife Dawg and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (by this point original member Jarobi had become the "sometimes 'Y'") — delivered their third studio album, 'Midnight Marauders,' a defining moment in rap's Golden Era.
Formed in the late 1980s, A Tribe Called Quest and its members witnessed the rise of hip-hop first hand. Malik "Phife Dawg" Taylor, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Kamaal "Q- Tip" Fareed (born Jonathan Davis) were drawn to the addictive sights, sounds and soul of hip-hop while they grew up in Brooklyn and Queens, N.Y. As early 20-somethings during the time of the album's release, the group was in their creative prime.
With two albums under their collective belt, Tribe had solidified a strong name in hip-hop, but 'Midnight Marauders' allowed them to shake up the game. While gangsta rap was on the rise on the West Coast, Tribe operated in a warmer mood — ironically the climate was comparably opposite. Their lyrics weren't necessarily absent from adversity, but they reminded fans that they had the power to rise above it.
The album's iconic cover helped set an uplifting tone for the music. Behind the silhouette of a female figure decorated in black, green and red — also presented on their 'Low End Theory' and 'Beats, Rhymes, and Life' albums — were black-and-white headshots of a reported 71 hip-hop luminaries including everyone from the Beastie Boys to Sean "Diddy" Combs. "We tried to get everybody that we can to get on this album cover. Tryna promote hip-hop unity," Phife Dawg said in an interview with 'Yo! MTV Raps.'
Others on the cover included Afrika Bambaataa, Chuck D, DJ Kid Capri, Doug E. Fresh, Souls of Mischief and Dr. Dre. "And our lady in front of it, we figured the lady is hip-hop," Tip revealed in an interview with MTV. "We use this lady as a symbol of our music…beautiful woman."
For the first and only time, she was introduced to hip-hop supporters as the "Midnight Marauders Tour Guide," one who "enhanced your cassette and CDs with certain facts that you may find beneficial." From messages of HIV/AIDS awareness ("Did you know the rate of AIDS in the black and Hispanic community is rising at an alarming rate? Education is proper means for slowing it down") to anti-violence ("You're not any less of a man, if you don't pull the trigger / You're not necessarily a man, if you do"), this gave the opus a conscious spin.
From the jump, the horn-heavy 'Steve Biko (Stir It Up)' — a track named after the South African anti-apartheid activist — brings back the jazzy boom bap Tribe pioneered on their first two records. Phife Dawg comes through with the "rude boy" composure, shouting out Linden Blvd., in his native Queens, and running down his stats. "MC short and black, there ain't no other / Trini-born black like Nia Long's grandmother," he raps. Tip closes the track with his abstract poetic wisdom.

Our narrator decodes the album's title in an interlude after 'Award Tour': "Seven times out of 10, we listen to our music at night, she explains. "The word maraud means to loot; in this case we maraud for ears."
The next two tracks are solo venting efforts from Phife and Tip, respectively. On '8 Million Stories,' the devil's on Phife's back. In the first few lines, he tries to get a milkshake, realizes he doesn't have the money, and his car gets robbed. He can't even get his little brother the toy he wants: "My little brother wants Barney, cool, I'm gettin' it / Took him down to Kay-Bee, they ain't sellin' it / Here we go with the crying, yo he's throwing fits / My blood pressure's blowing up, I can't take the s—."
On 'Sucka N—,' Tip goes at the controversial word, delivering an argument that would still be relevant in present times. "And being that we use it as a term of endearment / N—-s start to bug, to the dome is where the fear went," he raps.
'Electric Relaxation,' which samples 'Mystic Brew' by jazz fusion legend Ronnie Foster, was a standout on the project. It was also the height of wordplay, with Phife Dawg's famed sexually explicit double entendre: "Let me hit it from the back, girl I won't catch a hernia / Bust off on your couch, now you got Seaman's Furniture."

The overall production was a soul catalog, as Tribe used top-notch samples for the work. The funk-loving 'Oh My God' sampled 'Who's Gonna Take Weight' by Kool & the Gang, 'Why Can't People Be Colors Too?' by the Whatnauts, and 'Absolutions' by Lee Morgan. The chilled out 'Keep It Rollin' took from the introduction of 'Feel Like Making Love' by Roy Ayers. And the ringy 'Lyrics to Go' combined 'Just Enough Room for Storage' by James Brown, 'Inside My Love' by Minnie Ripperton, and 'Mixed Up Cup' by Clyde McPhatter.
Reception to A Tribe Called Quest's 'Midnight Marauders' was well-celebrated — with one surprisingly negative review from Rolling Stone. The publication dissed the crew by giving the album two stars. Regardless, the effort was coveted as a classic in hip-hop circles for years to come.
The jazz-rap sensibilities showcased by the group influenced future hip-hop producers such as Pharrell Williamsand Kanye West. As Q-Tip, Phife Dawg and Ali Shaheed Mohammad get ready to perform their last show ever — or so they claim — on the Yeezus tour this month, it will be hard to say goodbye for good. At the very least, Tribe leave behind timeless cuts from this record. There's no problem pressing "any key to return to the main menu" for years to come.
