Easter that is and not single bit of chocolate passed my lips.
A fine but blustery day, Laundry out and dried on the line, just airing it off before it gets put away.
The Monday clean has been done, so the bathroom, toilet and bedrooms are sparkling. I also ran the Dyson over the kitchen floor to pick up some of the debris. I am finding the ball a little difficult to get on with, but practice makes perfect, well thats what they say and I am not going to argue.
The chapel at the back are running a play week for the village children, there was some energetic whistle blowing going on earlier, all is quiet now.
DB has started digging the trench for the hedge between us and our next door neighbour, we have 8 shrubs to go in plus two conifers. Once they all reach a height they will be shaped into a hedge.
All the seeds that were planted have germinated, so need to keep and eye on them to get them potted up. Once the wind drops completely I will put up the greenhouse in the top corner of the garden, it is sheltered there by our other neighbours fence.
When I was in Lidl I bought a packet of their bacon bits £1.50. I have just taken them to pieces and bagged then up in useable amounts, there were some full rashers, they will go for bacon and eggs, some bits for quiche or fritatta, which is what we are having tonight, really good value for £1.50. I can use some when I make lentil soup. I have 8 packets in the freezer, should last quite a while.
We had bottom of the fridge soup today. There was some liquor left from a beef casserole last week, that went in with an extra stock cube and some water, leeks, onion, carrot, garlic, yellow split peas and some butter beans. There is enough left for tomorrow with the last of the loaf I made at the weekend.
I need to go now and tackle a few more blocks for that quilt. I am on the last leg with the pieced blocks, then have to cut 28, 11 1/2" square blocks plus the corner triangles and top and bottom pieces. Then I can start and put it together. I need to start and save up to get it quilted by the long arm quilter.
Bye for now..............

Marlins' Caleb Smith: Quality start in no-decision
Smith didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's win over the Giants, allowing three runs on eight hits while striking out four over 6.1 innings.
Smith got tagged for a double and two-run homer in the first inning, but he eventually settled down to allow just one run the rest of the way in his first quality start in three tries. With 10.4 K/9, the lefty has been a fairly reliable source of strikeouts over the first half of the season, but his pace has been slowing down of late; Wednesday marked the fourth straight outing in which he's fanned five or fewer. He'll take a 3.75 ERA into a rematch against the Giants on Monday in San Francisco.

The fire and fierce kiss of a hungry lips well depicted in the poem. A lovely piece of poetry, well articulated and insightfully penned with conviction. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON. ➕9
Lips On Fire
I have swollen lips from devouring your roses
cocktails, lips juice, and little pieces of your mouth
You don't know which one is your tongue
you've gone mad by the drugs of my kisses
your accent tastes like a red that kills bleeds and burns
on the top of my only pleasure
I have swollen lips of biting your joy
hot and sweetly
streams of fire of your mouth runs through my tender gums
that language of nymph in fire
you spoke and you did not understand
your mother language is behind my teeth
under your tongue, mine

Big Picture: What Is This Show About?
Jan 29, 2014
41 Comments
Just to keep us engaged through the Olympic hiatus. :) And hopefully beyond - as new episodes air, our ideas might change.
To me, there are stories that are primarily about the characters and their lives. Like OUAT, for example - it's really just about Emma and Henry and Regina and Snow and all of the other characters and their personal quests.
And then, there are shows like Star Wars. Or Game of Thrones, for that matter. Where you have lots of really good fleshed-out characters, each living their lives... but it's all leading to something bigger. So that, by the end of the story, the entire world will have been changed by these characters. So, while the story is about the characters, it's also about how the world is changed.
I think Grimm falls into the latter category, and have ever since... probably the middle of season 2. I think that, assuming this show is allowed to run to its conclusion (fingers crossed), then by the end, the world will have been changed.
Please vote and comment! Do you agree? Is this story really about the characters, or is there a world-changing arc, in addition to being about the characters? And if it's the latter, HOW do you think the world will be changed, by the end?
Mar 04, 2014
I think it's still 'world building', honestly. (Look how far we've come from Season 1!) I think the writers are still figuring out the Grimm universe as they go along (although they are doing so beautifully), and although it may seem like a cop out answer, I think Grimm at the moment falls squarely with one foot in each category. By focusing on the characters, the writers are able to explore the different species of Wesen, and their respective lore which in turns broadens the Grimm universe. But, at the same time, they are building up this whole Royal plot line which definitely has potential for big, world changing storylines in the future.
I'm looking forward to learning more about role of the Royals in the modern world, and Wesen politics (I LOVED the episode when Rosalee had to contact the Wesen Council, or the one when Bud had a town meeting with the local Eisbeiber.) Episodes like these show the existence of an overarching Wesen political and societal construct, and I really hope TPTB delve into them more in the future. :)
Feb 01, 2014
Here I what I want,
I want to see Nick and Renard take Monroe and Hank to Europe to lead the resistance and take the new baby Prince from Adalind .
Things seem to be pointing to have Renard crowed King over the bad brother. A lesson in German folklore and history would be interesting as it was a very bloody history, and one of the few tribes able to defeat the Roman army. I want the Mom to show up there and help to explain their history with the Gypsy and Grimms.
Some how Wu needs to stay involved, maybe runs the department and has to have Nick and Hank come back once and awhile to solve a Grimm case.
I just hope this show stays true to Grimm killing. It has had a few stinkers where it got too wordy or Politically Correct. It needs to stay focused on the Grimm power fights and not have Nick stand around in the background.
Feb 01, 2014
Well some good discussion about what the show is about, lets talk about what we would like the show to be! Would love to see Nick and the gang traveling and solving wesen related incidents/crimes throughout Europe and the rest of the world. The whole Portland and Wesen bad guy of the week is getting pretty stale, it's pretty much becoming like any other cop procedural. I mean seriously how many Wesen murderers are there in Portland! But to improve on what's actually happening on the show they should move the whole Royal / resistance thing to Portland somehow atm its too disconnected feels like a whole other show whenever we cut to scenes in Europe where none of the main characters are involved. I find it hard to care about some random Europeans resisting against some random Royals
Feb 01, 2014
I don't know about anybody else, but I think this show is about keeping people entertained enough that a certain percentage of the population tunes in and keeps the advertisers happy. Sorry Kat, I had to say it. ;p
Jan 31, 2014
Nah.. I think that in the end, it's always about the status quo.. Something will happen and the world will move on and live ignorant that it's got monsters and wesens, etc.. it's always been a secret, most don't believe.
Jan 31, 2014
I'd say part of the reason Grimms exist is to keep the status quo: wesen are supposed to remain a secret, Nick is supposed to protect them from humans and humans from them. Hence the need for the fairytales.
If Nick does his job right there should be no substan change for wesen or humans.
Feb 01, 2014
There are still a boat load of wepons in the trailer he has not used yet!

Jan 30, 2014
Um...all of these? I think the big picture portion of through this 'outsider' who actually belongs to this world we get introduced to this whole world that he is going to be a key to changing, but like if you look at a fantasy book series, we are maybe toward the end of the first part of the book. He is going to change it because of his relationships with his little Scooby gang and they all have a role to play as well and the big question which seems to have been from the pilot, is Renard really a representative of a third side in the fight that Nick et al would want to support (especially since it appears he is sort of a resource for the Resistance, but not really part of it and is working separately with his little crew - I weirdly think Sebastian might get along well with the Juliette portion of the crew). But meanwhile, Nick is changing what it means to be a Grimm and is trying to be inclusive rather than head chopping (I really can't wait for Mom to reappear to remind them all what the stereotypical scary Grimm is like).
Feb 01, 2014
I am impressed you know who Sabastian is, he is not listed on IMDB.
Scooby gang, funny... some times it feels like a Friends episode and it all slows down. Let's hope the character development is over and they can get down to killing suff.
Jan 30, 2014
I chose the Resistance option...
But I think it's going to be
that changes the world, not the Resistance. In the end, every Resistance usually has that bright light that gives them hope, and I really think that Nick is becoming that light for many Wesen around the world. If he's not a Special Grimm in some way or fashion, I will be shocked. He's just too different to not be something
than he's been told.
Jan 30, 2014
Yes, I think that's a distinct possibility (especially since Nick's the protagonist)! :)
I mainly called it the "Resistance"... well, first for space (it's limited in the poll), and second... I just tend to compartmentalize a lot. :)
In my mind, Nick changing the world is a separate thing from Nick's personal journey, but it's the same as the Resistance changing the world... technically, it's just a difference between a Resistance
Nick changing the world, and a Resistance
Nick (maybe even inspired/led/motivated by him) changing the world. Which... I agree, the former is probably not possible/likely/desired, given what we've seen of the existing Resistance (they don't really seem to have a
, other than a world without royals, nor do they have any sense of unity, both of which are necessary for any kind of permanent success in changing the world).
I can't wait to see Nick really get a fire going, both in his own heart, and then in other people's. :)
That said: writers, if you're reading this, you're doing a great job with the slow buildup. Me like. Please don't have Nick get involved until he's
good and ready

I see the show as the personal journey of a Grimm through the wesen community, his personal history and his role in a new and improved Royal House (Captain Renard's).
Jan 30, 2014
They should really flesh out the Royals more, all we really know is that the Royals "control the world" and are in positions of power. So what would be the difference under Renard?
They should make it clearer just why the current Royals need to be overthrown so urgently and if it is going to be a main story line they really have to get Nick and the team involved in it more. So far it only has been Renard and Adalind.
Jan 31, 2014
I'd say the main difference is that Renard is half-wesen, its only logical to assume any Monroe-Rosalee's baby should be safer in a world where a half-wesen Royal is ruling over the Verrat, the Grimms or the Resistance.
Jan 30, 2014
I agree; they definitely should flesh it out more. So far, we know there's a resistance movement, and Rosalee's brother was a part of it, and it's got this whole organizational structure in Europe, so I think we can safely assume they're resisting
. :)
But other than that... we know the stories of the Verrat. And so far, we have seen, firsthand, a few examples of how unscrupulous royals, in general, are... how little they care about anything or anybody beyond their own power plays.
(wow... when I look at it put like that, Nick looks a lot like Eddard (Ned) Stark...)
Anyway, we do see some examples, but they're all on a personal level. But still... it gives some small examples. We've seen medieval torture sessions while Eric is on the phone. We've seen Eric poison a loyal employee with an excruciatingly painful poison... apparently just for kicks. And then he poisoned Nick, just as a power play against Sean, without any concern for Nick himself. We've seen people kill each other for coins and for keys. All to gain power for themselves. All while using other people as pawns - which is a very outdated morality, and has no place in today's society.
Perhaps most telling of all, we've seen an unknown royal put a bounty on Monroe's head, the stated reason being to make an example of him - to show what happens when a Wesen befriends a Grimm. Which means they dictate who can be friends with whom. It also means they're worried about where it could lead.

Jan 30, 2014
I think this story is of a revolution. In the universe of Grimm. Royals embody old world values, strict division of the classes, the masses being governed by the powerful few. The Wesen, are the oppressed masses, weakened by old prejudices that have so far prevented them from uniting against a singular threat. Nick, Monroe, Rosalee, Juliette, and Hank represent the ideal new world. They have united, in defiance of the status quo and emerged the stronger for it. They will stand against the Royals, fighting for tolerance, equality, and freedom.
Jan 31, 2014
I agree. But I think the much overlooked player in this drama is the City of Portland. What is it about Portland that brings Wesen wanting to break out from the old ways (a vegetarian Bluttbad, a father-and-daughter Coyotil, and a family of Niads, or just simply looking for a second chance like a reformed addict Fushbau and a hunted renegade half Royal-half Zauberbiest to establish their roots there? Add to that a late developing Grimm who doesn't play by the traditional rules of his kind by becoming more of a protector than judge, jury and executioner. The City of Portland in the series has become not only a melting pot for all kinds (Regular humans, Wesen, a Royal and a Grimm) but what may become ground zero for the revolution. So far, the Royals and to some extent, the Wesen Council have in the past only had cursory interest in Portland. However, over time, this has changed, not only because of Nick and Sean Renard, but also because of events like the spree robbing Blutbads, the parasite and the Grampus which has forced the hand of the Wesen Council. However, I think the big event which will bring all the player together in Portland will be Adelind. I suspect that when things begin to get really crazy, she will have no choice but to take refuge in Portland. In turn, the Royals and even the Wessen Council may get involved, which will likely not bode well for the citizens of Portland. Why will Adelind be so important? I don't think that her child is simply the offspring of a Royal-Zauberbiest and Hexenbiest. I think when she performed the ritual to regain her powers she inadvertently forced Nick's blood out of her system into her child making him or her part Royal, part Hexenbiest and part Grimm. This would explain the strange image appearing on her belly which looked much like a skull, the sometime symbol of the Grimm.

Jan 31, 2014
Interesting theory about Adalind's baby! I like the kind of sense that it makes, and I'd never thought of that before - that
is how Adalind will get her powers back... by clearing her body of the Grimm blood. That would be an interesting development. But, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure where they would go from there...
Adalind's baby being part-Grimm would matter to the story, other than, "Oh, Adalind's baby is part Grimm, part Royal, and part Hexenbiest." Unless the baby will grow at a supernatural rate or something (ugh - please no Renesmee), it shouldn't matter if it's part Grimm, because it's still just a baby.
Should be worth noting that hexenbiests/zauberbiests also have kind of a skull-like appearance when they are woge'd.
I like your point about Portland being a character. I'm kind of torn, myself, as to why Wesen gravitate there... part of me wants to believe that it's because of some mystical "Hellmouth"-style quality, and the other part wants to think that all of these people who want to break traditional roles gravitated to Portland because... it's Portland. :D IRL, Portland is a very liberal city. A great living environment for those with that general mindset. And, being surrounded by mountains and a wonderful climate except for the half a year when it's foggy, it's the perfect natural environment for those who want to live in nature while at the same time live in a city and make a living.
I really like your idea about Portland being central. I'd gotten so used to the whole idea of the "Royals and the Resistance" plot being in Europe, I'd just assumed that when Nick finally actively joins that plot (as he
at some point; otherwise, why do we have a "Royals and the Resistance" plot?) then that means he will go to Europe. But I like your idea a lot better... I hope the plot does come to Portland instead of Nick and company moving to where the plot is. :)

If the child turns out to be part Royal, part Grimm and part Hexenbeist, it could be the greatest potential threat to the status quo that the Royals are trying to reestablish. I think they've learned their lesson when they discounted Sean Renard as a threat during the years he was growing up. Imagine someone like Sean Renard with the powers of a Grimm and the arcane knowledge of a Hexenbiest. You either want him or her eliminated early on or get him or her under your control. With someone like that under your control, you have the ability to instill true fear among the Wessen, especially those who are rebelling against the plans of the Royals. I've wondered what makes the Grimms so formidable aside from strength almost equal to some Wessen, enormous stamina, hyper senses, and a treasure trove of weapons and historical knowledge about the strengths and weaknesses of the Wessen. I think it's the ability to remain preternaturally calm and focused during a battle. When Wessen woge and engage in heated battle there comes a point where they actually lose control whereas Nick is just the opposite, almost supernaturally so. This is the reason why Eric Renard went to such lengths just to kidnap Nick when he could have just tried to kill him and why Sean Renard in dealing with the resistance carefully chooses his words to give them the impression that he has a Grimm under his control.
I think that there's more than a good chance that the Royals and possibly the Wesen Council are eventually going to go to Portland. My suspicion is that the treasure or part of it that Nick's and the Royals' map parts is suppose to lead to may be hidden in the forests of Portland. Although Monroe said that the part of Nick's map seems to indicate the Black Forest of Germany, I don't think it's that obvious. It's always bothered me that when Nick's ancestors found the treasure during the Crusades, they would bring it back to Europe especially if they wanted to prevent the Royals from getting it. It would make more sense for them to hide it in the New World.

Jan 30, 2014
Nicely said! :)
Jan 30, 2014
Then again, Sean Renard is already fighting that battle just by being
He's a half-breed that defied the Verrat, the Royals and the Resistance to claim a place for himself in this world, to say he was worthy despite his origins, to win a Grimm's loyalty where the Royal Houses had failed.
If a half hexenbiest can do that, there's hopw for a half blutbad, lowen or naiad too.
Jan 30, 2014
Renard's place in this fight is yet to be determined. He has been rejected by the royals and persecuted by them, thus for now he is allied with the Resistance, HOWEVER he also has Royal blood and with that a strong desire to rule. Will Renard help topple the old regime, only to form another, just as oppressive, in it's place? Or will Renard truly embrace the ideology that Nick and the Resistance fight for and prove worthy to be a leader of the people?
Jan 31, 2014
A Prince on Grimm seems so much different than a Prince in real life, judging only by the effect Renard's kiss had in Sleeping Juliette.
He's a natural born leader, he can't help but to (hence the reason he made it Captain. However, that doesn't mean Renard has the desire to rule, seems more of a calling than anything else to me.
I think he chose to lead wesen because he's one of them - half of him, at least - he embraced the Resistance for the same reason he embraced Monroe, Griffin or Nick: the give his people a fighting chance.
Jan 30, 2014
The whole resistance and royal arc seems figuratively and literally a world away, first of all I would like to know just what exactly are they "resisting" these events are taking place in modern day Europe so what are the Royals doing that is so ghastly that this group of Wesen feel the need to resist. Europe last time I checked seems like a pretty cool place to live, well most parts :)
. Grimm is pretty much your standard procedural with a sprinkling of lore to spice things up every now and then. It's greatest strength is the core group and how they've overcome their Wesen vs Grimm animosity to become good friends.
Jan 30, 2014
I like that about Monroe, he has always been open to friendship regardless what Nick's ancestors did to his.
Jan 29, 2014
Myself, I think this story is about the Royals and the Resistance. Namely, the Royals are the villains, who have persecuted and enslaved Wesen, given preferential treatment to the Verrat (who, in turn, have bullied other Wesen into doing things their way), and purposely set Wesen against Wesen and Grimm against Wesen and Wesen against Grimm, all to keep anybody from figuring out that the real villains are the Royals.
And they've been doing this for centuries. Until now. Until Renard, who has his own agenda, began plotting together with the Resistance. And right now, Renard, and the Resistance is still just waiting. They just need one more thing - for Nick to be on board. If they have the Grimm, that is the single game-changer that the Royals cannot beat.
But because Nick is too principled, he would never just enter the war just because Renard tells him to. So Renard has to wait until
something - anything
about the Royal families rubs so far against Nick's principles, that he will choose to act on his own.
That's where Monroe and Rosalee come in. Even when they're not actively
anything, the Verrat are a specter over their relationship, keeping them from being happy, which is unjust. Not to mention, the Verrat also put Hank in the hospital, the royals probably put a bounty on Monroe's life, Rosalee was already in danger because of her relationship to the Resistance, the Royals supported Adalind's plot to poison Juliette, and... oh, right... a Royal turned Nick into a zombie and was responsible for Nick killing a (sort of) innocent man. And that's just the stuff we know about so far. More stuff may happen later.
After the Verrat, just by existing, keep Monroe and Rosalee apart, Monroe might take the initiative to join the Resistance after this, or Nick might do it without him.
When Nick joins, or maybe even eventually takes over, the Resistance, then the real story begins. :)
The story ends with the Royals gone, and the Verrat gone, and Wesen of the world are free to live their own lives (within the boundaries of human law, of course), and new legends of Grimms who stand for real justice.
That's what I'm picturing, at least. :)

The Forbidden Woman tells the story of Sultana, an Algerian woman doctor who, after years spent living in France, returns to her native village in order to attend the funeral of a former lover. The clash between her origins and the Westernized life she now leads is explored in telling detail against the backdrop of current events in Algeria. A work that combines insight into both political and personal matters, The Forbidden Woman develops a complex portrait of a country torn between progress and prejudice, secular life and Islamic fundamentalism. In this passionate book, Malika Mokeddem places special emphasis on the position of women in modern Algeria. The frequent indignities and injustices suffered by the narrator reflect the plight of women in a society marked by patriarchalism and religious fundamentalism. Yet the novel also suggests that, along with modernization, there are emerging demands for women's rights in Algeria-demands that might well signal a vastly different future for this tormented nation.
Malika Mokeddem was born into an illiterate nomad family in Kenadsa, Algeria. She had the opportunity, rare for a Moslem female, to attend the university in Oran. Later she completed her medical studies in Montpellier, France, where she currently practices medicine. The Forbidden Woman is her third novel. Melissa Marcus is an associate professor of French at Northern Arizona University. She is the author of The Representation of Mesmerism in Honore de Balzac's "La Comedie Humaine" and the translator of Nina Bouraoui's Forbidden Vision.

Only recently that I found out that the Baker's Dozen at the Power Plant mall is back on again. Since September, actually, so it's probably not news to a lot of people. The Baker's Dozen is held every weekend at Level P1, Concourse Area Center Aisles, which lights up beautifully with showcases of delectable baked delights. The good news is, it runs until December.
The last time I was there, I got myself a box of a dozen pretty and colorful macarons from Empire. I got White Chocolate, Chocolate, Mocha, Cookies&Cream, Pistachio, and Triple Chocolate. Other available flavors are Lemon, Blueberry, Strawberry, Hazelnut, Caramel, and Mango Chocolate. While every flavor is wonderful, the Cookies&Cream is my favorite among the bunch.
Aside from macarons, Empire also offers Cheesecake Balls. I have never seen or heard about cheesecake balls so it was pretty new to me. Flavors are Original Chocolate, Black&White, Strawberry White Chocolate, Walnut Chunk, Mocha, Sprinkles, Almond Chunk, Chocolate Chip, Caramel, Cookies&Cream. Unfortunately, I was not able to get some of them but they look cute and I must admit, the concept does sound yummy. Definitely next time I go there.
A good thing to know about Empire is that they do party, wedding, and corporate giveaways. And they deliver for free if you're getting at least 15 boxes. (Php150 delivery fee for Quezon City, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Makati, Taguig, and Pasay areas, if you want less than 15 boxes delivered.)
Empire contact numbers: (0917) 8861190; (02)4671995. Look for Georgia

The memory of her confession to him still echoes inside his head the next day when he goes souvenir shopping with everyone. Nyaruko continues to find every possible way to get into his mother's good side, and he does not know whether she was serious or just being herself. Still, Mahiro cannot let this distract him any longer and acts like himself again. He bumps into a box filled with games, one of which was an odd-looking console. Since everyone was curious as to what type of game it is, Mahiro decides to turn it on.
To his surprise, Mahiro finds himself waking up inside his room. His mother, acting bubbly, tries to get him out of bed to leave the house. As he walks to school, Nyaruko bumps into him in the stereotypical fashion with bread in her mouth, due to the positioning, Nyaruko would call him a pervert, stating that she cannot get married anymore. The name of his school changed, and Kuuko would walk up to him acting very familiar with him. Before he hears to class, Hasuta would walk up to him in a basketball attire. Inside the classroom, Takehiko would act as a perfect NPC while Tamao acts like a regular student. With everyone's odd personalities, Mahiro wonders what was going on.
Luhy would take him to the nurses office and explains that he is actually inside the game when he turned on the console. Because they were sucked inside the game, the only way out was to complete the game with a good end with one of the heroines in the game: Nyaruko, Kuuko, Hasuta, and Tamao. Luhy could not stay here for much longer to help him out, so it was now up to Mahiro to figure out how this was going to end in the end. Although Luhy disappears, it seems as though everyone was wary about the game contents from the start. Nyaruko will do whatever it takes to make sure flags are set up such that she will be the victor. Kuuko would push Hasuta on Mahiro so that she and Nyaruko can be together. Hasuta will try to be more aggressive since they are in a game. All three of them can see the ending of how this will go.
The three of them do whatever they can to win Mahiro's heart. Nyaruko would state that she will drown herself, but Kuuko would stop her for her own desires. Hasuta would feign sickness so that he can be alone with Mahiro in the nurse's office. He would then be alone with Kuuko, who claims to be from a data organization and attempts to slay Mahiro to find out about Nyaruko's reaction. Mahiro would then find himself at an auditorium where Nyaruko, in a bunny outfit, was going to sing, only to be stopped by Mariho. The two would then be working part-time at a restaurant where Kuuko would try to intervene in order to be Nyaruko's only. Mahiro was already having a tiring day.
Mahiro comes back home with no energy left. His mother would try to provide him some energy until he tells her to stop her facade as well. His mother then tells her he has to choose someone sooner or later. Mahiro states that someone will confess to him in the end, so he might as well just go with the flow and not do anything. With that mindset, he spends several days and months living an unchoosing lifestyle, and letting the flow of the game take up his time. However, this lifestyle will go against him. Since Nyaruko wants to make sure this ends properly, she suggest having a hand-to-hand fight in the final flag event known as Valentine's Day. Here, Nyaruko, Kuuko, and Hasuta would dress up in battle attire and fight for the right to get a true end with Mahiro.
Meanwhile, while all of that was happening, Tamao would lock herself inside a gym storage room with Mahiro, trying to start up a surprise ending of her own. Mahiro tells her to cut it out, even if this was a game. However, Tamao was actually quite serious about getting an ending with Mahiro. In fact, Tamao tells him that she loves him as well. While Tamao actually looked very serious when saying that, Mahiro treated as an attempt for her to set a flag with him. While Tamao said he found her out, she really did look serious there. It makes me wonder why she was not as heavily focused as the three aliens mentioned.
So, the final day arrives, and Mahiro waits at the tree where there was a high confession rate. Here, Nyaruko would walk up to him, battered from the fight she just had with Kuuko and Hasuta. Mahiro knows that he has to end this game with a kiss, but he cannot bring himself to so it. However, Nyaruko states that she does indeed love him dearly and wishes for him to accept that. Having no other choice, Mahiro kisses her under the three. The group would return to their world, with none of them having any recollection of what just happened to them, except for Mahiro. Luhy came to check if everyone was okay, but it seems as if she was worried over nothing. However, when they were done shopping for souvenirs, it seems as though Nyaruko was happy about something, but will not say what it is.

In Before Detroit was the Motor City III, I discussed the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum and the history of the car company. Out of the more than one hundred cars in the collection, many caught my eye for their design, specs, or history.
Noteworthy Auburns, Cords, and Duesenbergs in the first floor gallery with unique designs and histories:
- 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton: 8-cylinder engine with supercharger and chromium exhaust pipes on either side of the hood
- 1927 Duesenberg X-No D-95 E McFarlen Boat Roadster: sleek and streamlined two-seater boattail design. Model X was the rarest of the rare Duesenbergs, a transitional model between Model A and Model J. Only 13 were planned and 4 built.
- 1932 Auburn 8-100A Speedster: inline 8-cylinder engine, only 63″ in height, beautiful teal color with black
- 1936 Auburn 852 Phaetom: straight 8-cylinder engine with supercharger. The first owner of this particular car lived in Cyprus and planned on driving the car from Italy to the Olympics in Munich. The car was used by British during WWII.
- 1927 Auburn Wanderer: 419 units sold in 1927, only 5 still exist. Front seat folds backwards for sleeping in the car during an era when motels were still fairly rare.
- 1936 Cord 810 Westchester "Moonshadow": beautiful silvery-blue with blue interior. Driven a total of 115,000 miles in North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
Some noteworthy early Indiana cars:
Haynes is often credited with building one of the first (if not the first) car, but Black may have actually created one before the Haynes Pioneer.
- 1901 Haynes-Apperson Model A Motor Carriage: very rare with tiller used for steering
- 1920 Apperson Model 8-20: this particular car was owned by Edger Apperson.
- 1911 Izzer: one of three experimental cars built. Two-seater with driver on the right and a jumpseat for his small daughter.
- 1894 Black: one of earliest autos built, possibly before the Haynes Pioneer. From 1892-1896, Black built experimental vehicles (two still exist). From 1897-1900 Black produced vehicles (none exist).
- 1899 Waverley: runs on 44 battery cells, at 12 to 14 mph with a 35 to 40 mile range
Some noteworthy classics (1925-1948):
- 1929 Auburn Cabin Speedster: this car is actually a reproduction of a car that was destroyed, along with 319 other cars, during a fire at the 1929 Los Angeles Auto Show. In 1983 Dr. Peter Kesling of LaPorte, Indiana created this Speedster from drawings and canvas body drafts that survived.
- 1936 Cord Convertible Coupe: a two-seater convertible, 8-cylinder engine with supercharger and metal exhaust tubes on either side of the hood, retractable headlights. Only 130 were produced for 1936 (the year before Cord went out of business).
- 1930 Ruxton Roadster: two-seater convertible, 8-cylinder engine; front-wheel drive like the Cords. Only 500 made, making it a rare classic.
- 1948 Tasco: first car with T-top roof made out of plexi-glass, airplane-inspired design. This car was part of the recent Dream Car exhibit at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
Noteworthy cars in the gallery devoted to racing:
- 1911 Metallurgique speedster: a two-seater version of the earliest boattail design. Built from 1898-1927 in Belgium. Appeared in the 1965 movie The Great Race. Similar to the 1928 Stutz speedster—both cars had the same chief engineer.
- 1935 Auburn 851 speedster: created to boost sales. Broke 70 speed and endurance records at Bonnesville Salt Flats.
- 1937 Cord I: raced at IMS and Bonnesville Salt Flats. Broke records but too late to save the company.
Some noteworthy later cars:
- 1954 Chevrolet Corvette: 1953 Motorama dream car. One of the few Motorama cars that actually went into production. 300 made in 1953; 3,600 made in 1954.
- 1933 Essex Terraplane: straight 8-cylinder engine. This particular car was used by bank robber John Dillinger during an eight-day stretch, ending with a car crash in an Indiana farm field on April 7, 1934.
- 1967 Sunbeam Tiger II: small car with 56″ wheelbase. Only 534 to 633 produced over a 6 months with Ford V8 engine. Production ended after Chrysler bought the Roohs Group and discovered that Chrysler V8 engines would not fit into the Tiger II.
- 1957 Mercedes-Benze Gullwing Coupe: #1395 out of 1400, an unrestored original. The doors swing up (= gullwing).
- 1952 Cisitalia 202 Gran Sport: only 17 of this 4-cylinder, 55 horsepower car were produced. Appeared along with seven other cars in the first show of automobiles as art held in 1951 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. (A Cord was one of the other seven cars in the show: Eight Automobiles.)
- 1963 Jaguar E Type: only 7,760 made between 1961 and 1964. Able to reach 150 mph, putting it in the same class but with a much lower price as the Ferrari.
- 1952 Crosley Super Roadster: 4-cylinder engine, wheelbase of 85″. Last hurrah for the company before ceasing production. This particular car was owned by Frank Lloyd Wright. Crosley was one of the few post-WWII cars produced in Indiana.
- 1979 International Harvester Scout: prototype, looks like a cross between a Jeep and an SUV. Ultimately the company decided in 1980 to not get into what would become the lucrative SUV business.
The last Indiana car manufacturers:
- Auburn, ended production 1936
- Crosley, ended production 1952
- Studebaker, ended South Bend production 1953
- Avanti II, ended production 1985
So what car would I choose (if I could)? It's hard to narrow them down. While the Auburns, Cords, and Duesenberg are beautiful cars, I am partial to small zippy cars. The 1952 Cisitalia 202 Gran Sport? The 1952 Crosley Super Roadster? The 1967 Sunbeam Tiger II? The 1957 Mercedes-Benz Gullwing Coupe? The 1963 Jaguar E Type? Perhaps I'll choose the 1913 Imp to putter around town in.

- Why does Friendly Schools take a whole-school approach?
- What are the six whole-school components?
- Where can I learn more about the six whole-school components?
The Friendly Schools initiative brings together the whole-school community to contribute to the development and ongoing maintenance of a friendly and safe school culture. Friendly Schools support schools to identify and successfully implement evidence-based whole-school recommendations in order to enhance students' social and emotional learning and reduce bullying in schools.
Why does Friendly Schools take a whole-school approach?
Research shows that multi-component initiatives involving the whole-school community are more likely to reduce bullying behaviour than single-component programs, such as those involving only classroom curriculum. A whole-school approach recognises that all aspects of the school community can impact upon students' health and wellbeing, and that learning and wellbeing are inextricably linked. Given that young people spend much of their first 17 years in a school environment, school is not only the focal point of children's academic development, but also their social and emotional development, since it is where they make friends and develop healthy relationships.
Friendly Schools recognises the importance of a whole-school approach and is organised to provide support to schools, not only in terms of formal classroom teaching and learning, but throughout all aspects of the whole-school environment. To achieve sustainable behaviour change that is integrated, holistic and strategic, it is necessary to implement a whole-school approach rather than focus only on individual behaviour.
What are the six whole-school components?
To assist school-based leadership teams to implement evidence-based key elements for action, Friendly Schools has identified six interrelated components that are foundational to positive whole-school change.
Component 1: Building capacity
Component 2: Supportive school culture
Component 3: Proactive policies and practices
Component 4: Key understandings and competencies
Component 5: Protective physical environment
Component 6: School–family–community partnerships
In order to be effective in practice, it is essential to attend to all whole-school components in a coordinated manner, so that action in one component effects positive change in other components. However, it is also important to remember that such integration takes time and determination, so it can only be achieved through a well-planned approach that is effective and sustainable.
Where can I learn more about the six whole-school components?
To find out more about the components of the Friendly Schools initiative, view the Friendly Schools Plus Evidence for Practice resource. In addition to summarising the research that supports the Friendly Schools approach, each chapter of Evidence for Practice that deals with a single component contains the following aspects:
Key elements
Each whole-school component chapter identifies the key elements found in evidence-based research to be priority elements for action in that particular component.
Strategies for good practice
Each key element identified is followed by a detailed set of strategies for good practice and an explanation of supporting evidence to assist teams in the development and implementation of each key element.
Whole-school toolkits
Where there is more information and other resources to further support development and implementation of a whole-school component, toolkits are provided. Due to the integrated nature of the whole-school areas, in some cases toolkits from other components may be recommended to support a particular priority.
Planning tool for each key area
The planning tool is designed for teams to record their planning for future action in each key area.

What changes I see
The smallest changes can create huge rewards. The creation of more frequent bus services, regulating taxi services, cleaner and safer park areas, extra street lighting and a whole lot more, serve to provide communities with a better way of living. Nowadays it would seem that if you have a concern, someone is already working on a solution. If a plot of land is doing nothing both aesthetically and actively, then before long there will be a project being created to develop it and make it a positive area for the community.
Such is progress, such is change.

The Minister of Power, Works, and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has described the Electric Power Sector Reform Act (EPSRA) that was passed in 2005, which serves as Nigeria's electricity reform law, is one of the best in the world and is almost perfect.
Speaking during his opening remarks at the 2017 edition of the Annual Power Africa Nigeria Conference on Thursday in Abuja, Fashola said that there was nothing wrong with the law in its entirety but maybe its implementation by the government.
According to him, members of the National Assembly, who passed the law in 2005, did it with a great deal of commitment, recognising Nigeria's need for a reform in the power sector.
He also said that with the law, the business of power generation, transmission and distribution has been democratised and was now within the remits of both the federal and state governments to consider investing in.
"The EPSRA is a great piece of legislation that is comparable to any other in the world, and that law was put together by members of the National Assembly whom Nigerians elected as their representatives, and who committed to giving Nigeria a law to enable us develop our power sector," said Fashola.
The minister, however told participants at the event that state governments were now free to invest in power generation, transmission and distribution.

Construction, Consumer Spending Up in March
Manufacturing cranked up, builders boosted construction spending to an all-time high and consumers opened their wallets wider - fresh signs the economy has snapped out of its end-of-year funk.
That was the message coming from the latest batch of economic reports released Monday.
A report from the Institute for Supply Management showed that factory activity expanded with gusto in April. The group's manufacturing index rose to 57.3 in April, from 55.2 in March. The showing was much better than the reading of 55 that economists were expecting.
In a second report, the Commerce Department said total construction spending in March climbed to $1.199 trillion, on an annualized basis, surpassing the previous record high set in February. That marked a big 0.9 percent jump from February's level - a performance that exceeded analysts' projections of a 0.3 percent gain.
Private builders ramped up spending on a wide variety of projects in March, including residential construction and factories. The government also spent more on big public works projects, including power plants.
In another report from the department, consumer spending rose 0.6 percent in March, an improvement from the 0.2 percent increase registered in February. Consumer spending plays a key role in shaping overall economic activity.
Incomes, the fuel for future spending, advanced by 0.8 percent in March. That was up from a 0.3 percent increase in February and marked the largest gain since September.
Income includes government payments as well as wages. Payments from the new Medicare prescription drug plan had the effect of helping to boost overall income in March. Wages, meanwhile, grew by a moderate 0.4 percent for the second month in a row.
Both the spending and incomes figures were better than economists were expecting. Before the release of the report, they were forecasting spending and income to each rise by 0.4 percent.

Houzz Bathroom Lighting Sconces - Regularly we have found that people love nothing more than to develop new bathroom ideas for their property. It might be one of the very exhilarating characteristics to design and finish for owners.
Your bathroom is your asylum from the normal dullness of your day-to-day routine; actually it's a high-end spa that is small that you employ to escape from the regular and in which to drown your worries having a nice warm bath. Remodeling your bathroom could be a really pleasurable, but frequently frightening job.
Start by thinking about your bathroom motif. Select a layout & style that reflects you; which you locate both serene and calming. Would you favor a contemporary feel with bold colours and hard geometries? Or would you favor a cozy Jacuzzi bathtub, as well as a Grecian Isle spa, with tiles that are Romanesque?
Whatever you choose, make certain it's a real reflection of your internal; you will never be pleased with a design motif since it is in trend and not what actually enjoy the most, that you embrace. The ideas concerning the details will just flood out, after you finalize the design theme to your bathroom.
Are you the sort who incline toward practicality or toward decadence? Installing choices incorporate a wide ledge for bath oils & candles, plus a luxury bathtub with deep massaging jets or a shower stall with all the practicality of seats. A factor that is significant but frequently disregarded is the practical aspects of your bathtub. Do you need handrails for aid? Have you considered adding places for plants?
One more facet of the layout to bear in mind when planning out your bathroom ideas is the ceiling. This component is ordinarily dismissed, though it is seen often when you are trying to relax in a bathtub. This is going to be your own lavish spa-so act with abandon; select daring color selections and opulent patterns.
There is a final area of consideration that people frequently place less planning into: the bath wall material. Tiles come in an immense variety of colours, patterns, and shapes, and are pretty popular. Choose note, about the pragmatic side of things, that cleaning is harder for smaller tiles, because of all extra grout you need to scrub. What're increasingly popular now are solid-surface material bathtub walls. They can be uniquely formed on your space are easier to wash, and in many cases are quite affordable. However, with solid-surface stuff you are going to be restricted in terms of the colours, patterns and visual designs.
As a room can be, bathrooms will be about as much an individual reflection. Then your feverish days will always reason with you relaxing in the luxury that you just deserve if it actually reflects you. You cannot be overly lavish, as it pertains to your bathroom.

Rita suspects Dempsey has been stepping out and asks Dex to tail him. It's an easy enough task, but Dex's morning stroll with Johnnie Walker would make it tough for him to trail his own shadow. Kitty insists she go along for the ride, keeping her boss - and hopefully her salary - safe. However, she's about to realize that there's something far more unpleasant than a three-timing husband at the end of this trail - and that there's more at risk than her paycheck.
Richly satisfying and stylishly gritty, Death Was the Other Woman gives a brand-new twist to the hard-boiled style, revealing that while veteran PIs like Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe spent their time slugging scotch and wooing women, it may well have been the Girl Fridays of the world who really cracked the cases.

Yes, I started my diet on the week of Thanksgiving.
I realize there are a gazillion health experts out there groaning and predicting my utter failure.
1. Because I used the word diet. Hey, I'm old school. I'm always going to think "diet". I realize that this is forever. Just like the last 23 years of my life have been an effort in living healthier, so shall the rest of my life. It's my diet.
2. Because I started watching what I eat the week of the biggest gluttony feast??? The TEMPTATION! In the 52 weeks prior to Thanksgiving, I hadn't managed to go three days straight eating a healthy diet so why wouldn't I try the week of Thanksgiving? The point is knowing it has to be done regardless of what week it is.
No, I didn't do all that great after Thursday but I've still got my head in the game and despite the impending Bake Christmas Cookies Day, I'm trying to make all the other days count well toward my diet.
Tis the Season! May the diet odds be ever in your favor.

40 years ago — in a galaxy far, far away — a Rebel Blockade Runner attempted to outrun an Imperial Star Destroyer, and failed.
The valiant rebel fighters stood their ground, determined to complete their mission at any cost.
They were boarded, and outgunned by white-clad Stormtroopers and the fearsome Darth Vader, Lord of the Sith.
But before this, the ship is rocked from the bombardment of blaster fire. In that chaotic moment, C-3P0, a tall golden android, races down a stalk white corridor with his bullet shaped companion, R2-D2, in tow.
"Did you hear that?" Threepio asked with rushed worry. "They've shut down the main reactor."
With those words, the greatest sci-fi epic of the modern era came to life on movie screens across America.
Star Wars was it's name.
Soon to be known as: Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
There was the scrolling letters, with the following:
The scene was set up in spectacular fashion in 2016's Rogue One, introducing Princess Leia Organa, who would soon hide the Death Star schematics inside Artoo with a message for Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Obi–Wan. Now there's a name I've not heard in a long, long time. A long time…
On the planet desert Tatooine, we meet Jawas (oo tee nee), Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.
We also meet old Ben Kenobi, a cantina full of odd and colorful aliens.
And also Han Solo, captain of the Millenium Falcon — with his first officer Chewbacca…
and our hero Luke Skywalker.
They go on a mission to return the plans to the rebels, but end of rescuing the princess instead.
This leads them to the Death Star and a fateful confrontation with Darth Vader.
The heroes wore white and the villains dressed in black.
There was catchy disco music and a cool new catchphrase: "May the Force be with you".
Star Wars was an instant smash, that broke box-office records all over the world for years to come, and has thus far spawned 8 sequels and spin-offs.
40 years ago, a fresh faced farmboy looked up into the sky and posited it was his time to become a Jedi.
this December, Luke Skywalker returns to the big-screen in Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi.
Thank you George Lucas for conjuring up this fantastic opus.
Happy anniversary to my ultimate childhood and adult obsession!

Offensively the Ladies were led by several key contributors last weekend; freshman Lindsey Smith, who batted a team-high .357, with five RBIs and three doubles. Junior Emerald Doria smacked three home runs, including two lead-off jacks, while classmate Allison Shepperd cranked a game-winning three-run, home run against BC.
Anchoring the circle for Centenary was Hillary Phillips and Jessica Bock, who went 4-1 in 37.2 innings pitched. In her first career start, Phillips threw a no-hitter and allowed just three base runners, while fanning seven.

Home / Conditions / ALS
Today, neurodegenerative disorders represent one of the leading causes of death in the developed nations. These disorders are exemplified by a loss of neurons in certain areas of the nervous system. This loss of nerve cells is believed to trigger subsequent weakening in motor and cognitive functions that patients with these disorders go through.
Inflammation, the common denominator among the neurodegenerative disorders, is linked to be a critical component responsible for the development of neurodegeneration. There are a few treatments for these diseases, but scientists are still doing research on new therapeutic methods. In this light, cannabis derivatives have drawn some interest, but these compounds often raise ethical and practical issues for their potential abuse. However, among compounds present in cannabis, CBD/Cannabidiol, which is lacking of undesirable psychotropic effect, might have a promising component with the highest possibility for therapeutic use.
The current information on Cannabidiol (CBD) use in clinical research has been reviewed, triggering the potential of CBD to prevent neurodegenerative diseases and to manage the symptoms associated with these pathologies. While the scope of the clinical effect of CBD is impressive, the molecular process through which CBD/Cannabidiol exerts its action is still vague. Because of that, this phytocannabinoid might stand in as a primary compound for the advancement of therapeutics that can exert neuroprotection and function against neuroinflammatory element of neurodegenerative diseases.
I care about what I put into my body. That's why I only trust CBD from American grown hemp. Buy American. It's good for you.
Neuroinflammation, a major symptom of various neurodegenerative disorders like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS), has been associated in the structures responsible for such diseases. As a matter of fact, if there is no neuroinflammation, recovery from injuries and elimination of offending components may be possible because over activated astrocytes and microglia generate countless substances that open up the possibility of self-propagating processes that urge the chronic development of neurodegenerative disorders.
ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a deadly neurodegenerative disorder characterized by selective loss, which implicates motoneurons in the spinal cord, brainstem, and cortex. Because studies validate the connection of oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in the pathophysiology of ALS, it is then possible to recommend that due to the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties of CBD/Cannabidiol, it can be a promising course of action to treat symptoms or at least prolong the life expectancy of ALS patients. This research is backed by the study that CBD and other components of cannabis improve the symptoms of ALS patients.

"Overall Nicely put through course. End Section could have been more with elaboration, a nice end to end program incorporating everything in end section would do wonders to this course" (Sachin Kushwaha)
"Just finished the course and it was quite good. I don't know what it is but the way Al explains things really keeps your attention in the course and he shows up quite well the different things and ways of doing things in each lecture. At the end of the course it may get a little frustrating downloading the modules but hey, this things tend to change so it is logical to run into troubles not detailed in the original videos, just stay calm and look for a solution, frequently the Q&A sections can point you in the right direction. Looking forward to see more courses, Al! 🙂

Money Pillow Lady
August 5, 2009
The high and hot sun kept goading my pores into coughing up sweat on that blistering Monday. The mercury hit record-breaking highs, but I was masochistic enough to venture out into the broiling discomfort with nary a fear (or a drop of sunscreen).
I'd been out in the open for awhile, and the novelty of cooking like a creme brulee 'neath a blowtorch wore its way out. I cut down Thomas Street, due west. A shinily-impersonal eyesore of an office building offered my scarlet-hued brow some relief.
Money Pillow Lady walked towards me. She'd emerged quietly from around the building's opposite end and moved with the single-minded speed of an Amtrak, despite being well into her seventh decade on this planet. A bright red t-shirt hung droopily atop her scrawny frame, and wrinkles spider-webbed over her exposed arms like cracks in a dried-out riverbed. Two light blue–almost white-blue–eyes stared out from deeply-inset sockets. Those two giant icy marbles bulged from her face, seemingly in reaction to her tightly-clenched jaw. Her pale lips were stretched taut, exposing her symmetrical, gleaming, and slightly-oversized dentures.
A blue Seattle Mariners cap was wedged on her skull, and a tumbleweed of gray Brillo-pad hair exploded from either side of her headwear. Best of all, she clutched two small pillows-each shaped like a hundred-dollar bill–so tightly to her chest that the knuckles of her bony fingers whitened from the intense pressure.
"I came here for vacation to get away from the fucking heat," she grumbled as she shambled past me.

A collision between a private tour bus and an MTA bus in Queens left the tour bus driver and two passengers dead and 16 injured early Monday morning.
The tragic collision occurred at 6:20 a.m. in Flushing at the intersection of Northern Boulevard and Main Street, prompting a fast response from police and firefighters. First responders were forced to use hydraulic extrication devices to free some of those trapped in the wrecked buses.
Also caught in the collision was Kennedy Pizza & Chicken, which was smashed as the private tour bus's momentum pushed the MTA bus into the store. The MTA bus was smashed up against it, facing the wrong direction on eastbound Northern Boulevard, causing the business to experience a small fire.
Of the three fatalities, two died at a local hospital. One pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene after being pinned underneath one of the buses, officials said.
Of the 16 injured, five were listed in critical condition. Others suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were in stable condition.
Emergency responders rushed the injured to New York Hospital Queens and Elmhurst Hospital, officials said.
One of the injured was 56-year-old Kang San, who was sitting in his Toyota after getting coffee at a nearby shop on Northern Boulevard when his car was struck during the collision.
"My husband is lucky. Maybe two minutes [earlier] it would be worse. He was walking before," said San's wife, Yung Lim, 62, who noted that San was picking up his co-workers. "He said, 'I am lucky today.'"
San was taken to Elmhurst Hospital after suffering injuries to his back and leg, Lim said.
"He was nervous," Lim said at the scene, adding, "When I come here, a lot of people lying on the floor. A lot of people were in pain."
Queens native Yong Suk Miller, 66, experienced the incident from inside her seventh-floor apartment on Northern Boulevard.
"I feel the building shake a little. I hear crunching and shaking," Miller said. "I thought it was a truck. Then I hear a lot of ambulances and fire trucks. This is bad."
One onlooker thought at first that it was a terrorist attack.
"I was just coming from work. I thought it was a terrorist attack, I saw so many sirens and lights flashing," Jay Rivera, 52, told The Post.
"I've never seen an accident of this magnitude. The impact must've spun the bus around. A lady told me that the buses hit at full speed. They have the Jaws of Life out, so you know it must be bad," he said.
The city's Office of Emergency Management also tweeted: "Due to a bus accident, expect extensive traffic delays & a heavy presence of emergency personnel in the area of Northern Blvd & Main St, QN."
