Staff have reported to me that where they have had questions they have been answered fully and that during each Friday switch to temporary generators and then Monday back to the mains supply they were pleased that someone would come round regularly and check all was well.

Morning Joy
I come to this page as I would go to a dear friend, or to a loving partner. I come feeling comfort and safety, free to say anything I want and explore even the most risky ideas. It feels good every morning; I yearn for it every day. So I begin this day in deep gratitude for these pages, for this safety, for the sense of expansion and clarity daily writing offers me. It is the very best part of my day.
Do you have a daily practice that grounds you and brings you joy? If this is not the way you feel about your practice, then you have not found your practice. What one small habit, what one soothing ritual, could you incorporate into your busy life that would make you feel solid and secure? Would offer a path for clear thinking and open-hearted loving? Would elicit a sense of calm and contentment? And would give you access to your deepest wisdom and to guidance for right action?
I urge you to find that practice, and come to it every day with a sense of gratitude. Write, pray, meditate, walk in green grass, swim under blue sky, drink hot tea mindfully. Take up a practice that cultivates awareness of and appreciation for the life you get to live. Be patient and consistent, and give your practice an honored time and space in your home.
Thanks for stopping by the LifeArt Studio today. May your body be strong and agile; may your mind be clear and radiant; and may your heart be filled with loving kindness.

Best Romanian destinations on Halloween
We in Romania are not very superstitious, even on the contrary. I mean, we believe in God, or 90 % from us do, on a good reason, fearing the ultimate instance. But further we make a lot of fun and a lot of jokes about black cats and other common superstitions coming from outside, mainly Scotland and America.
|The picturesque Romania is a good place to spend Halloween
We also make a lot of fun of the number 13 (it brought me always luck and happiness). But we have also Dracula, and every body is very serious about him, as an important motor and vehicle for the Romanian travel industry!
We all love Dracula here, and I owe you some details about his life and real history. Dracula was a ruling prince in the Romanian Vallachia, who dared to fight against the threatening Turks. He was may be a little bit too cruel, not only against the Turks, but also again the rich Romanian seniors and landlords, who were not very loyal. That is why the people loved and venerated Dracula, whose real name was actually Vlad Tepes. There are a lot of myths and legends about Dracula, but I am going to tell you about not this time.
Staying to the Halloween and the related Carnivals, as we have nowadays in Romania a splendide weather. It is a fantastic and spectacular Autumn, with daily temperatures up to 25 degrees Celsius! So, you can spend a wonderful Halloween in Romania, even an unique one. Of course you need a special vestimentation, which must be very cosy, but also very sexy, and there a few special places for Halloween!
1. Sighisoara hosts the birth house of Vlat Tepes Dracula, inside its unique medieval citadel, an UNESCO world heritage. Nowadays you can eat there (take a lot of garlic), it is a good restaurant. Not far a torture museum, an weapon museum and a secret room, where - but I'd better let you discover by yourself!
2. Bran Castle is also known as Dracula Castle, but had nevertheless with Dracula not very much in common. It was the property of a grandfather of Vlad Tepes Dracula, and Dracula himself was hosted one or two nights there. But the legend still lives, and it can be very useful for the Romanian tourism.
3. Piatra Fantanele resort lies even on the Borgo pass, where Bram Stroker placed the action of his strange novels, making from the poor Dracula a superstar, on the Hollywood connection. Thus, it has much more in common with Dracula as the Bran Castle!
|Despite its interesting palaces, Bucharest is a fav Halloween destination
4.A carnival in Bucharest, on the Lipscani street, in a fancy local, not far from the royal court of Dracula, where he has a statue.
You will find anywhere an interesting mix between the local ingredients (Dracula wines or vodka, e.g.) and the international suits for Halloween, and you are going to have a big time for sure!

Reel Talk with Latresa Baker
Hey iRozapp,
I need a some advice. I was supposed to meet with my director today to get the last bit of footage for my reel. I gave him an additional week already and now because of the blizzard he cancelled and in addition said there is still a significant amount of ADR needed to be completed in order for me to have quality clips for my reel....now we're supposed to meet the 17th finish ADR and I'll get my footage the same day. In your opinion, do you think I should wait until I get the footage or just go ahead and create the reel without it. The footage I'm waiting for is a feature film I was the lead in....

We're halfway through the week, but that doesn't mean we're slowing down; on the contrary, we're bringing you a handful of glorious science, tech and Godzilla goodness. Our first story could be a window into the future of your visits to the doctor, with micrograbbing objects swimming through your body to collect samples; the second story is about a killer Godzilla movie theater and hotel opening this April in Tokyo, Japan; and our last story is all about what you can accomplish with free time and knowledge.
There are two sweet modifications that made the show today, too: A retro toaster converted into a fully functional NES and a working PlayStation with Midgar (the main city from Final Fantasy VII) built on top. You probably won't find Aerith inside that miniature Midgar, though. Sorry.
Tomorrow Daily 135 [mp3]: Biodegradable robots working in your body, the Godzilla Hotel and more
Here are some links and notes for all the things on the show today:
- John Hopkins University working on biodegradable "micrograbbers" designed for non-invasive medical procedures
- Stay a night in Tokyo's Godzilla Hotel, while the great movie monster himself watches over you
- Retired engineer Seth Goldstein creates RO-BOW, a sculpture that plays violin better than we do
- Mod Squad: Jarno Kotavuopio's Nin-toaster 2.0, and MakoMod's Midgar PlayStation

Thigh lift
The legs and the bottom play a
of both women and men.
You can strongly influence your erotic appeal with physical training and a healthy diet. However, the possibilities offered by plastic surgery can also help ...
My new look:
Slim legs and a well-shaped bottom.
Many women are annoyed by the presence of fat pads on the outer sides of the thigh (so-called "saddlebags").
Chafed spots on the inner sides of the thigh and fat deposits on the inner sides of the knee frequently give rise to annoyance. The bottom is also often too big and, in some cases, too flat.
These areas can be reshaped specifically by either liposuction or tightening the tissue. Similarly to breast augmentation, a flat bottom can be reshaped to become nice and round again by inserting an implant.
If you have any further questions or would like to learn more about a specific procedure, feel free to email us or arrange for us to call you back or make an appointment for a comprehensive personal consultation at our plastic surgery practice.
Frequently asked questions about thigh lift
- Lie and sleep on your back with your chest in elevated position and cool the treated body areas.
- Wear the compression garment for at least 6 weeks and make sure it has a tight fit without any folds.
- Drink plenty of liquids.
- Stand up as soon as possible and walk without excessive effort.
- Avoid direct sunlight and sun beds for at least two months.
- Avoid strenuous activities and sauna for 8 weeks after the surgery.
- Avoid medications that increase the tendency to bleed (e.g. medicines containing acetylsalicylic acid, such as aspirin or ASS) 14 days prior to the surgery.
- Stop smoking 2 weeks prior to the surgery! Smoking contributes to circulatory disorders and poor wound healing!
- If the surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, arrange for someone to pick you up at the hospital or practice after the surgery and to stay with you at home.
- Get cold packs for use at home after the surgery.
- Get the compression garment recommended by us.
In most cases, liposuction is performed at our practice on an outpatient basis under twilight sedation. After the surgery, you can rest in our rooms before you are picked up to go home. In the case of large-scale liposuction, we recommend that you stay at the hospital for one night.
Whether the liposuction can be performed on an outpatient basis depends on the expected volume of fat removed: The maximum volume that can be removed on an outpatient basis is 4 litres; above this volume, an inpatient stay is necessary. The maximum volume that can be removed within one procedure is 6-8 litres.
In particular in older women and men whose skin is no longer elastic enough, incomplete contraction of the skin following liposuction may result in excess skin that can only be removed surgically. Examples to be mentioned include the upper arms and the lower abdomen that need to be tightened additionally by removing excess skin following liposuction.
We additionally recommend a lipomassage treatment offered by us, which can be started about 2 weeks after liposuction. Lipomassage tightens the skin and treats cellulite.
How long does the procedure take and how much does it cost?
Depending on the volume of fat removed and the technique used, liposuction in one body area takes about 30 to 90 minutes plus preparation time (injection and time for the solution to take effect). If several body areas are treated within one session, the surgery can take 2 to 3 hours or longer. Consequently, the fees vary greatly, ranging between EUR 1,500 and EUR 8,000, depending on the time required.
We will be happy to find the optimum financing option for you together with our partner MEDIPAY.
- Mild pain after liposuction is possible and is treated by administration of analgesics.
- However, the feeling of sore muscles is more common than pain.
- The treated body area is always slightly swollen. The visible swelling will subside within 1 to 2 weeks.
- The hardly noticeable residual swelling will take considerably longer to disappear, which is why the final result will only become visible after a few months.
- Any bruising will disappear after about 7 to 10 days.
- • Your skin may temporarily feel numb or fuzzy, which may last for half a year or even longer in extreme cases.
- Depending on the scope of the procedure, you will be fit for work again after 2 to 5 days.
What type of anaesthesia is used?
Small-scale liposuction can be performed under local anaesthesia. In the case of large-scale liposuction, we prefer twilight sedation or general anaesthesia.
Under local anaesthesia, the body area requiring treatment is anaesthetised by injecting an analgesic substance, usually together with a special solution that facilitates the removal of fat. This method is sometimes combined with the administration of a sedative substance that reduces anxiety and fear of the procedure while additionally inducing a twilight sleep. Under general anaesthesia, you are put into a medically induced sleep.
What risks are associated with the procedure?
After liposuction, varying degrees of swelling and bruising are to be expected, which will, however, completely subside after a few days in most cases. Temporary numbness or sensitivity to touch can also be expected. Possible risks also include irregular contours.
How long will the result last?
Liposuction removes the fat cells permanently, which means that the body contour created is retained. If you were to gain weight, you will put on more weight in the body areas not subjected to liposuction.
At what age can I have a liposuction done?
Liposuction can be performed at nearly any age, but the best results are achieved when the skin is still elastic enough to smoothly cover the treated body areas.
In older patients with poor skin elasticity, the skin may not contract to a sufficient extent, making additional skin tightening necessary.

Police were scouring yards in Milton Wednesday afternoon for a gun after pursuing a man from Boston into town.
A police pursuit of a suspect in a Roxbury shooting ended with a crash at the intersection of Randolph Avenue and Reedsdale Road on Wednesday afternoon.
The driver, Paul Nova, will be arraigned today in Roxbury District Court on drug and motor vehicle charges, said Jake Wark, spokesman for the Suffolk County district attorney's office. Nova's address was not immediately available.
Nova faces charges of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of heroin with intent to distribute, violating state drug laws in a school zone, failure to stop for a police officer and reckless operation.
Nova has not been charged in connection to the shooting at this time, Wark said.
Police searched yards along Lodge Street in Milton for a gun following the 12:23 p.m. shooting at 122 DeWitt Drive in Roxbury, near Ruggles Street and Madison Park.
The chase ended when the suspect crashed a late model Chevrolet into a dump truck in front of the Tedeschi's convenience store on Randolph Avenue.
The shooting victim remains hospitalized at Boston Medical Center but is expected to survive, Wark said.
Sara Feijo may be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

1965 Ford Mustang Convertible
1965 Mustang Convertible. This mustang just came out of careful storage for the last 15 years and just had $6500 in labor/ parts invested in the last 6 months and 200 miles. Very solid and original car. Body is very straight and has excellent door, trunk, and hood gaps. Original floors are very solid and original. There are two five inch by 2 inch rust spots on both front floor pans near the rocker. Not a hole but swollen sheetmetal. (pictures of both below) They are so small and minor that I would not bother repairing them. There are also some paint bubbles on the bottom of the Driver side fender. (there is a pocket that collects dirt/ moisture behind the sheetmetal) This spot is also very minor and hard to notice unless you stick your head down there. That is the extent of the rust on this very solid convertible. Paint is very nice and above average quality. It is a dark burgundy metallic. 289 engine runs great. The entire fuel system was just overhauled. Spark plugs were just changed. Radiator was cleaned and rodded out. Water pump was replaced. This is a very rare 4 speed car. It shifts great and the clutch feels very nice. We just installed new styled steel wheels and BFG tires. Convertible top is in excellent shape, but the rear window has a slight haze from age. All of the weatherstripping on the car is original and in very good shape for its age. All of the chrome is in excellent to good shape...no pitting to speak of. The brake system was just completely overhauled.. new master cylinder, wheel cylinders, shoes, drums, and hoses. All of the gauges and lights function properly. Wipers, heater, and radio work. Runs and drives excellent. Great car that would make you proud at any car show or cruise-in.

Shane Jones (a sort of NZ Ambassador) and James Movick (the head of FFA - Fisheries Forum Agency - one of my main contractors) were in a interview with 3 News, and they talked of various things that are close to my soul: subsidies, Sanford (the company that gave me my 1st contract in NZ and a client in areas of my work) and spying (a hot topic in NZ politics, where it looks like out present government has been the hears of the US in this issues)
A while ago the sides change of Shane Jones, from a MP high on the Labour Party and potentially been seen as a Leader (the 1st one with Maori lineage), to accept a job with the opposition (the National present party in charge), as "New Zealand's Pacific Economic Ambassador", was seen as master-movement by National to get rid of a potential leader of the opposition.
The news at the time talked of a "fisheries ambassador" based on the fact that Jones knows the industry as he had a role with Sealord (a big NZ company). Many of us who work in this field do wonder at the time (and sometimes now too), what his role is.
Both made the news yesterday with James Movick, the head of FFA (Fisheries Forum Agency), as both are in Auckland at the present since the US treaty tuna negations are in place.
Here is transcript of what they had to say:
This morning I'm joined by New Zealand's Pacific Economic Ambassador, Shane Jones, and Director General of the Pacific Islands Forum Fishing Agency, James Movick. Good morning to you both.
James Movick: Good morning.
If I could start with you, Mr Movick, you've been leading the negotiations to bring this treaty back to life. Have you got a deal this week?
Movick: No, no, we actually did not come here with the expectation of reaching a final deal here, but rather this meeting will focus on setting the new structure of the treaty to go into the future to serve the new needs of the Pacific Islander community in particular.
So a ways to go there. Mr Ambassador, in layman's terms—
Shane Jones: Good morning.
Good morning. Can you explain to us what's the problem? Is it overfishing, too many boats? Spell it out for us.
Jones: Well, in a nutshell, the Pacific Island leaders want to generate income from this precious resource. They've got pressures on their national budgets. They've mandated James, who leads the peak body in the Pacific, to find a way that they can sustain earnings. The industry is saying the value of tuna has crashed in the international commodity markets. They can't match the price that's demanded, so common ground has to be found. And if it's not found, the fear that exists is that a lot of these key species will become biologically non-viable.
So they've selling days – the amount of days that you can fish – to the highest bidder, so have you got too many boats out there in the water in the Pacific?
Jones: Well, as James would possibly correct me, to the best of my knowledge, there's about 300 boats – purse seiners. These are monstrous vessels. And we could probably catch the current amount of fish with fewer boats, but these are boats that are licensed and fishing in Pacific sovereign waters. They're very rarely in New Zealand waters, so the sovereign leaders of those Pacific Island nation states need to strike a balance between the zest for revenue and providing an example that if you fish too much, if you have too much capacity, there'll be no fish left.
Mr Movick, who's doing the overfishing? There's a lot of concern about the Asian nations, and, actually, you've raised that yourself, haven't you?
Movick: I think everybody's engaging in overfishing to some extent, that they're participating in the fishery, but I think we need to understand the scale of the problem perhaps a bit better. It's clear that the overfishing that is occurring is occurring on the big-eye tuna stocks, which is a very small component of the overall tuna catches in the region. And it's the concern over that which is causing all the other current concern. But the problem there is that the bigeye tuna is taken both by large super-frozen long-line vessels, which are primarily foreign – Asian-owned – which operate primarily on the high seas, and they're also taken by purse seine vessels, which tend to fish within the exclusive economic zones of the Pacific Island countries. In seeking to adopt the appropriate management measures, both of these fleets have to concede something – have to reduce their level of fishing. And the question then is – in what way and to what extent does each do this? But we need to recognise that any reduction in the effort that is taken by purse seiners in the exclusive economic zones of the Pacific Island countries does have economic consequences to them. And so what we are saying is that while we are prepared to make reductions in that catch, the distant water, foreign-owned fleets need to make reductions in that alternative sector and any disproportionate burden of conservation that is borne by the small island states needs to be compensated.
All right. Mr Ambassador, you're particularly worried about the Chinese, aren't you, the Chinese fleet?
Jones: You know, the current treaty negotiations relate to the Americans. Some of the American vessels, as James would agree with, are actually Taiwanese vessels, but they fly an American flag. And I'm the sort of person that I'm really not into stigmatisation, and the real challenge is that when you have subsidies, and New Zealand's had a proud record over the years of challenging subsidies – we're one of the last fishing nations that doesn't have subsidies – subsidisation leads to distortionary outcomes.
So who's subsidising their boats and to what extent?
Jones: Well, there's a subsidy inside the American Tuna Treaty worth $21 million. There's subsidies association, I think, with the Taiwanese, the Koreans and the Chinese as well.
Movick: The European Union.
Jones: The European Union. And little old New Zealand, our biggest fishing company is just a part of the Pacific Sanford's. They had a proud record there. We don't have subsidies, but unless you challenge subsidisation, I fear that people will continue fishing after it's actually economically not viable to do so. But if you have a subsidy and your fuel costs are underwritten, you don't need to face the full costs of your activity.
So is that pushing New Zealand tuna boats out of the game?
Jones: The reality is that Sanford's have already announced that their four boats are gone. One of them's been sold to the final remaining totara tree of the fishing industry in New Zealand in the Pacific, and it's Peter Talley. He's the only one still up there.
And the reality is the growth where the new boats are coming from, that's China, isn't it?
Jones: I don't have the exact numbers, but let's face it – throughout the Pacific, where Pacific nations and even me in my current role, we've learnt to accept that the mix of the economy has changed. China does have an interest in the Pacific. New Zealand is actually working in a JV project in Rarotonga at this very moment with the Chinese, trying to upgrade sanitation and water supply. And my role really is to find a common way to work with these fishing nations without alienating our neighbours, because they are a permanent reality of the modern Pacific.
So who is going to tell China and some of these Asian nations that they're being irresponsible in their approach?
Movick: We have been, and we've raised our concern with China about the introduction of the hundred or so vessels into the Southern albacore long-line fishery over the last two years. And we've encouraged them work with the Pacific Island countries so that those fleets can work with the island countries and bring some of the benefits to the island countries by shore-side offloading, processing as well as working with Pacific Island fishing operators, so that some of the subsidy benefit that they do enjoy perhaps might also be enjoyed by those other participants, the Pacific Islanders.
Because the point is, isn't it, the resource belongs to these pacific nations, so they are well within their rights, aren't they, to sell it to the highest bidder? That's their prerogative.
Movick: Of course. Of course.
Do you agree with that, Mr Jones?
Jones: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, these are sovereign island nations. And the only cautionary note I always strike, having come and seen the ups and lows of our own fishing industry, is that never let the pursuit of revenue eclipse the importance of sustainability. Don't ever let that happen. We've had that problem in New Zealand.
But doesn't it just come down to bad luck for American and New Zealand? It's their right to sell it – they're selling it to the highest bidder. Who are you to tell them otherwise?
Oh, look, yeah, I mean, you see Sanfords, a well-known Kiwi company, has said, "Look, I can't match the price. I can't make money. I've out of Dodge."
Okay. Mr Movick, you've spent the last week negotiating with the US and other countries over this, and it's a short time after we found out that New Zealand is spying on countries in the Pacific. Was there much concern about that during these discussions? Was it raised?
Movick: No, it was certainly not raised openly, although yes, a few people would make comments on the side and seek clarification.
What sort of comments, Mr Movick?
Well, 'Is this true, and does this make any difference?' Quite frankly, we've always taken the view, many of us on the secretariat side, that a lot of the information that is being discussed internally does get shared. It's done by everybody in the course in the course of normal diplomatic contact.
Shared or spied on?
I would say to some extent, you share information, if you're trying to reach an agreement with anybody, particularly where you have a common interest. And this is not just with New Zealand, but quite a number of the Pacific Island countries as well.
But do you think your organisation is being spied on? Because we've heard that spying is not just for security reasons; it's for economic reasons. And here you've got a big country, the US, wanting to do a deal. Do you think you're being spied on?
Movick: We take active precautions. We presume that others, particularly the distant-water fishing nations, will try to get access to the data that we have at the agency and what we are doing, so we have very strict information security rules in order to try to ensure that we protect against electronic surveillance of our systems. But on the other hand, a lot of the scientific data that we deal with is open and very transparent, and we want to encourage that and keep it that way.
So Mr Movick assumes he's being spied on, Ambassador. Does that concern you?
Jones: Without wanting to become the Willy Moon of your show today, you need to take that question to someone like Minister Finlayson. The ambassador could speak on a topic too foreign. Look, when I go to fishing plants, people are talking to me about fillets and loins. They never talk to me about spying.
But does it make your job more difficult?
Jones: I haven't encountered any static in that regard, but I would say that I'm dealing at a very sort of gut level in the fishing industry in the Pacific.

Pre-Open stocks action
U.S. stock futures skewed lower as U.S. jobless claims registered a surprise rise in the latest week. Concerns also continued over a weakening dollar, climbing oil prices, and inflation. Intel's mid-quarter update, later Thursday, is also a market focus.
See indications for full pre-open coverage.
Global Markets
Shares in London were hit by inflation fears, and resource stocks slipped. Continental bourses also declined. Japan's Nikkei ended lower, pressured by a surprise slump in machinery orders.
See Global Markets page for Europe, U.K. and Asia markets.
Broker Action
GlobalSantaFe GSF, -0.47% was upgraded to "outperform" from "neutral" at CS First Boston, which cited attractive valuation and strengthening offshore day rates. Analyst Ken Sill also lifted his 12-month stock price target to $48 from $46 and his 2005 earnings estimate to $1.52 a share from $1.46 a share. The stock closed Wednesday down 69 cents at $37.76, but has gained 14 percent since the end of 2004.
RF Micro Devices RFMD was upgraded to "outperform" from "market perform" by Piper Jaffray, which cited evidence that February sales remained on track, and an improved outlook for the second half of 2005. Analyst Amit Kapur also raised his stock price target to $8 from $6, his fiscal 2006 earnings estimate to 18 cents a share from 15 cents and his revenue forecast to $705 million from $687 million. The wireless chip maker's stock closed Wednesday down 17 cents at $5.47.

BMS, +0.00%, based on prospects for accelerating incremental margins and impact; and initiated coverage of Louisiana-Pacific Corp. LPX, -1.84% with a "sell," as "margin decline (from strong peaks) is likely to accelerate in our view.
Royal Bank of Canada RY, +0.28% was cut to "hold" from "buy" by Citigroup Smith Barney on valuation and its view of limited upside to RBC's U.S. operations.

Breaking news - See market pulse for breaking news
- Investors led by Cerberus Capital Management have proposed buying Toys 'R' Us Inc. outright for about $5 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported. The offer, made last month in a letter to the management of Wayne, N.J.-based Toys 'R' Us TOY, +2.06%, values the company at $23.25 per share. This would represent a premium of less than 1 percent over the toy retailer's Wednesday closing price of $23.05. However, one source cited in the Journal report said the $23.25-per-share figure may be an "old number."
- Delta Air Lines DAL, +0.26% said it anticipates it will record a "substantial loss" in 2005 due to expectations of low passenger mile yields, historically high fuel prices and cost pressures related to interest and pension expenses. The current average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson First Call is for a loss of $8.14 per share for the year. In a Form 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company said it doesn't expect its cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the year. Delta doesn't expect to be able to secure any material amount of additional debt financing and anticipates its cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments will be substantially lower at the end of December 2005 than they were at the end of 2004.
- London-listed hotels group InterContinental Hotels said it will sell 73 hotels to a consortium led by Lehman Brothers Real Estate Partners, a Lehman Brothers LEH real estate division, for 1 billion pounds ($1.92 billion) before transaction costs. After the sale, the company will also return 1 billion pounds to shareholders, but said this will require a capital restructuring.
- Urban Outfitters Inc. URBN, +1.66% said fourth-quarter earnings rose 72 percent to $31.7 million, or 38 cents a share; it had already reported a 43 percent sales rise to $251.6 million. That came in a penny ahead of broker forecasts as compiled by Thomson First Call. Urban Outfitters is also reviewing accounting for leases. Looking ahead, it said customer reaction to its spring assortments at all of its brands are strong, and February comparable store sales continued to significantly exceed its plan.
- Claire's Stores Inc. CLE, +3.64% reported net earnings of $55.53 million, or 56 cents per share, for the fourth quarter ended Jan. 29, up from $52.04 million, or 53 cents, earned in the same period a year earlier. The retailer's income from continuing operations totaled 59 cents per share in the latest quarter. Quarterly sales rose to $395.89 million from the prior year's $363.98 million, while gross margin narrowed to 54.3 percent from 56.8 percent. Analysts, on average, had been looking for earnings of 58 cents per share on revenue of $395 million, according to estimates compiled by Thomson First Call.
- Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-Hwa formally announced his resignation Thursday, as local media reported last week he intended to do. The South China Morning Post said that Chief Secretary Donald Tsang is expected to take over for the remaining two years of Tung's term

Does Your Pet Know Where Your Halloween Candy Is Hidden?
by Dr. Michelle Jude
Halloween time can be scary for us all, but especially for our four legged friends. Follow these simple tips and make your pet's Halloween safe and fun for all.
Keep those candy bags out of reach.
We all know that chocolate can be toxic to our pets, especially dark and baking chocolate Chocolate contains theobromine which can cause tremors, and there is toxin found in candy called xylitol, an artificial sweetner, that is often found in sugarless candies like gum. Very small amounts can cause acute hypoglycemia and liver failure. If ingestion occurs you should call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435 immediately.
Doorbells will make many pets nervous.
When trick or treating is going on it might be best to put our pets in a safe, secure room. Added stress is not good for pets, especially when people are dressed in costumes. Plus leaving them out puts them at risk of running out the door or biting a visitor. Be sure to have your pet's collar on them and microchips are wonderful in case they do escape out the door.
Costume safety.
I know it is very tempting to dress our babies up in costumes, but be sure your pet is happy in a costume. Be sure it fits good and does not have elastic that will be tight anywhere on the pet. Be sure you are supervising your pet when he has his costume on, ingestion can require a scary trip to the emergency veterinarian.
Watch out for decorations and electric cords.
Decorations can be attractive to play with for many pets, which can lead to ingestion. Watch power cords because these can electrocute pets if chewed on. Ingestion of spider webs can be bad news so avoid using these where pets will be.
Jack-O-Lanterns and candles
These fun decorations can be a fire hazard if animals accidentally knock them over or can burn them if they get to close. An alternative would be to use battery operated lights instead of candles.
Keep your pets indoors throughout the Halloween season.
It is always a good idea to keep your pets indoors during the season because some pranksters may be cruel to animals. Some adoption agencies will not adopt out black cats this time of year for that reason.
Following these tips will make trick or treat time safe and fun for everyone, including our pets. We would love to see pictures of your pets dressed up for the event (with supervision of course). Please visit our Facebook page and post your favorite pet in their costume. Hope you had a safe and Happy Halloween!

Konshens and I-Octane reignited their feud following a scandalous incident over the weekend in Miami, Florida.
After performing at the 2017 staging of Best Of The Best at the Bayfront Park on Sunday (May 28), Konshens took to Instagram the following day to share a footage of his damaged Range Rover.
"Man dem key the Range, mi nuh know a who still but… the valet man dem say is a rasta youth with big belly and him have locks, him have couple man around him and look like a celebrity,"Konshens said in the clip.
"Hate is real. But love realA. it did already scheduled fi wrap this week fi FREE still. #badmindandcoward," Konshens captioned his video.
In the clip, the "Winner" deejay gave a description of the possible suspect, which many Dancehall fans believe fit his longtime rival I-Octane, who also performed at the event.
"Lol sounds like I-Octane 😂," a user commented on the video.
"A muss I-Octane tpc," another wrote.
"Foota Hype you a laugh the streets start seh a ur boy Octane dweet already 😂😂," a user expressed.
The incident comes weeks after the "Realest Song" artist revealed that he didn't like the "Hot Ras" deejay during an interview.
Nevertheless, I-Octane is denying any involvement in the vandalism of Konshens' Range Rover.
The "Badmind Dem A Pree" singer, who is currently in Philadelphia, posted a quote on Instagram, refuting the claims.
"When the hate don't work, they start telling lies," the pictured wrote.
"😃 More time you affi tek bad things an laugh cause dem a guh luu… wi focus!" I-Octane captioned the photo.

In 1938 Budapest, young American businessman Paul Green meets a Hungarian bureaucrat named Mr. Sandor, Sandor's friend Mr. Kovacs, and Sandor's daughter Eve. Paul and Eve soon fall in love, but a mysterious, creeping sickness begins to infect them and spreads throughout the whole city and possibly the whole world.
In the year 2000 the now-defunct Infernal Bridegroom Productions (IBP) presented the Houston premiere of The Danube, one of most memorable productions of that company's 14-year history. Catastrophic artistic director Jason Nodler, who founded IBP, teamed with Bobbindoctrin Puppet Theatre artistic director Joel Orr, to direct four of Houston's finest actors (Amy Bruce, Troy Schulze, Charlie Scott, and Kyle Sturdivant). 15 years later Bruce, Schulze, Scott, Sturdivant, Orr, and Nodler reunite to create a new and improved version of this extraordinary play by one of the most intrepid playwrights of our modern era.

YSGOL Gellifor will be flying the flag for Denbighshire this May, when the school takes part in the National Urdd Eisteddfod in Llandudno.
The school has won through in no less than eight competitions in the recent County Eisteddfod and is looking forward to seeing how the pupils perform on the national stage during Whit week. A total of 33 pupils, over a third of the school, were among the winners in competitions ranging from recitations, dialogue, cerdd dant, instrumental as well as folk and disco dancing.
Headteacher Bryn D. Jones commented:"I am extremely proud of all the children and the staff for their effort and enthusiasm.
"For a small rural school to win through in so many competitions shows we have some really talented children here at Ysgol Gellifor. Although we are an English medium school, we certainly try to promote a strong Welsh ethos and the variety of excellent opportunities the Eisteddfod brings certainly helps us build on that."

Chef Dominique Crenn on Food Waste
Continuing our celebration of LA Food Bowl 2017, we interviewed Chef Dominique Crenn at the "Food For Soul - Cooking is a Call to Act" panel on Friday, May 6, 2017 held at the Theatre at the Ace Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles.
The LA Times hosted its first ever LA Food Bowl, a celebration of the local LA food scene that also highlights issues of food waste, hunger, and sustainability. Chefs Mario Batali, Massimo Bottura, Roy Choi, Dominique Crenn, and Mary Sue Milliken spoke at the group panel. They discussed food waste and shared their projects that work to combat this issue. LA food critic Jonathan Gold moderated the talk.
Chef Dominique Crenn rose to critical acclaim when The Michelin Guide gave her flagship restaurant, Atelier Crenn, two stars in 2013. Dominique's celebration of local ingredients combined with her use of poetry to describe the flow of her menus created a special storytelling dining experience in the heart of San Francisco's Cow Hollow. Dominique has another restaurant, Petit Crenn, a more traditional take on French cuisine with a menu inspired by her mother and grandmother.

GR: What was your first experience with food waste?
Dominique Crenn: The first time I experienced food waste was when I came to the United States. I was eating at a restaurant and I saw these huge portions. Personally, I couldn't eat them, but I was watching other customers in the restaurant, and I didn't understand where the food was going to go if they didn't finish the portions. I think that's the first time I saw something and didn't think it was normal. As I said during the panel, my mom never wasted food. It's all about celebrating food, cooking for people, and that's enough. Less is more. It's about finding a balance. I think there's a perception that if the plate is big you have to get your value for it. But at the end of the day you don't because the food you're wasting isn't good for the planet. It's not good for anything.
GR: A lot of people admire your ability to source local foods. Especially as a French chef in San Francisco: you really highlight the locality of San Francisco. Do you mind talking about your relationship with local fisherman and farmers and how you've incorporated that into your food?
DC: You can do that anywhere in the world. You have to understand the culture of the time and place. You have to take your ego out of the equation as a chef and understand the community, and what the community can bring to you instead of going to people and demanding what you want. Just understanding the ecosystem around you. When you create that relationship with the people that work around you, you create a better economy and ecosystem. In San Francisco we're very lucky. In California, in general, we're incredibly lucky. There are incredible farmers and incredible land. Going to the farmer's market or talking to a farmer that gives me whatever they're growing is great. It's not even a luxury. It's what people need to do every day.
There are farmers everywhere in the world. Farming, I think, is probably the number one economy in the world. You can find them everywhere: in Japan, you can find them in Africa. Just make that pledge to yourself that you will work with them. That's very powerful. It's about the economy, the ecosystem, and the community you're living in.
GR: Was there a dish that you've eaten that uses ingredients that would normally be wasted?
DC: My parents come from Brittany in France. There's this fish called espadon in French. I think it's the swordfish. The swordfish has a bad rap. You have to be careful where the swordfish comes from. But my family uses every part of it. You even use the swordfish's spine. The next day you can grill it and the meat is amazing. If you cut it down, the marrow inside is amazing. That's what I'm using right now at Crenn. One of the dishes incorporates that piece which is normally wasted into the dish, and it's one of the most delicious parts of the dish.
I think when you use a dead animal, you have a responsibility to make sure you celebrate it. You can't throw things away. It's the same thing with vegetables. When we get vegetables from the farm, we use everything. For example, if we use a melon, we use the meat but we also use the skin to make vinegar. You have to really embrace and celebrate what you have because it's a gift. I think everything is a gift, so when you get something you have to make sure you embrace it. But that's just me. Not everyone does that, but I think that's the right way to do things.
GR: It's so poetic and so beautiful.
DC: Life is a poem. Life is poetry. Words also matter.
GR: Is there a specific restaurant in LA you love or you're dying to try?
DC: There a lot of places I'm dying to try. I can't say any names. I lived here for a while, and LA is a very special city in my heart. There are incredible people here that create amazing food journeys. Living in San Francisco, I can tell you right now that LA is probably one of the best place to eat in the United States.
GR: What's your favorite noodle dish and where would you eat it?
DC: I love the way the Japanese make soba noodles with buckwheat. I think there is a similarity between the buckwheat in Brittany and Japan. It brings me back to my memories. I like the texture and taste. There are a lot of noodle places in LA. I'm not going to say which one. No, there are a lot of great places. Okay, maybe Roy Choi's places. It's amazing here in Downtown LA. Can we talk about Koreatown? It's amazing! I remember the first time I went there maybe fifteen years ago. You can get anything you want here. It's the best.
I just came back from Japan. It was my first time in Tokyo. I love that there are places that take one thing and they're making it all night long. I think that's the beauty of caring about something. I think you see that a lot in Asian culture, which I love. It could be Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai. There is this care and history behind every dish. I think that's beautiful.
GR: What's next?
DC: I'm writing a memoir that will be my second book. I'm opening Bar Crenn which focuses on biodynamic and natural wine, which are also found at Petit Crenn. I just want to do things that inspire others and inspire me and you. It has to do with food but it might be outside of a restaurant. It might be a different form. It's a platform for me. I'm lucky enough that you guys are celebrating me as a chef, but that doesn't define me. What defines me is what I'm going to do with this platform to hopefully do good things in this world.

Sigh. When will these companies learn? News.com has coverage on a very embarrassing situation for Palm, Inc. Apparently, the new m130 is only capable of 12-bit color, when Palm had been advertising 16.
When it released the m130 in March, Palm had advertised that the device boasted a 16-bit screen that is capable of displaying more than 64,000 different colors, but it actually displays far fewer. Each pixel can display one of 4,096 different colors. By using blending techniques such as combining nearby pixels, a process known as dithering, the gadget can display 58,000 "color combinations," spokeswoman Marlene Somsak said.
The company is apologizing for the problem but is not planning to offer refunds, Somsak said. Palm will also change the packaging and advertising for the m130 to address the discrepancy.
Ouch! Way to fall short of the mark, Palm. Unfortunatly, that's not all. Palm has been seeking funding to split their software business from their hardware business. It's no secret that Palm is in financial trouble, and is having difficulties selling their products. Mistakes like the latest one seem to be the type of dirty trick that a company bound for Chapter 11 tries. Is the problem that they really do lack "clarity of mission," or is it that the Palm platform just hasn't kept up with the demands of the consumer?

I recently enjoyed a spiritually dynamic experience with Cedar Rivers. Over a 3 day period I was amazed and delighted to find absolute clarity for the path ahead on many levels and dimensions. I came away from my experience with renewed enthusiasm, focus and clear intention to create the life I am meant to live.
Cedar brings the highest integrity to her work and many highly refined skills to the table in the presentation of her workshops. I have no hesitation in recommending her for one-on-one sessions or group work. Brenda Kay, Spiritual Artist
'I recently had the privilege and pleasure of spending 3 amazing days in a life direction retreat with Cedar Rivers. Initially I had no idea what to expect nor how the process would unfold......little did I know what would be revealed by my inner self! It was so liberating to be shown where blocks existed and how simple it was to overcome them. I completed the program feeling a lot more opened up and having a sense of freedom of expression and renewed confidence within myself. I can't thank Cedar enough for her personal and engaging manner where she stayed with me during the process. I would certainly recommend Cedar's work.' Sue Thackeray-Cotterall
Cedar is amazing, insightful, wise, generous and has the ability to work with and bring out clarity and transformation in your everyday life. When the road we are on, goes off into a fork and you don't know which way or why or how, Cedar has a gift of helping you steer and enable you to follow your chosen path. I have experienced and seen it work on so many levels over many years.
So, if you are at a cross road, a bit confused, sad, trying to let go of past issues and people, jobs and life, I cannot speak highly enough about contacting Cedar for clarity. I love her.
Nina Angelo, OAM
The Clarity for Life course created by Cedar Rivers is something I have been seeking all my life. It is said when the Student is ready - the Teacher appears – how true this saying is. It is now, at the age of 50 that I felt it was time to really delve into aspects of this lifetime, and past lifetimes – to be utilised as a transformative tool somehow, and to better gain an understanding and appreciation of just what actually Life is about and Why are We Here, and how can we all do our bit to assist humanities relationships with each to better serve the Highest Good.
The first module – Ancestors and Allies – a touchy subject for many, including myself, has challenged me to really discern and evaluate these relationships. Not something many people would choose to really look at – has assisted me in making some clarity decisions and to move forward with ease and grace. In every family tree there is always at least 1 person spiritually and soul aligned, it is these energies that are positive and uplifting.
The lovely group of people I have met due to participating in this course has opened my heart and mind in such a lovely way, that I felt compelled to speak up and do this testimonial for Cedar Rivers and the Clarity for Life course.
I look forward with anticipation and inspiration to enjoying the rest of this positive neural shifting course!
In Joy and Love,
Susannah J. Usov

Do you know you could now design and create your own website with out paying for an online design agency? It is a good avenue to explore if you're seeking to get into internet project management, as it provides you with expertise in producing content material ready for a brand new web site launch. In 2015, the online designers use the Photoshop since it provides the easy strategy to visualize a hello-fidelity design concept. They can more easily provde the performance and professionalism many firms look for when hiring an online developer. A web designer needs to establish the order of significance of the content material and place them in the website in such a means that the guests will first see an important and move into the others in hierarchy.
The supplied definition separates net design from internet programming, emphasizing the functional options of a site, in addition to positioning internet design as a kind of graphic design. Sure @dwachira, this cool tooling has made a world of a difference for me, I'm more of a drag & drop web designer right this moment, versus a coder, but it is definitely a problem to present it a attempt, and create a ability out of it all for sure.
And not one that I think is all that wise to focus on should you should not have present graphic design expertise, or if like me you don't have any creative graphic design expertise in any respect. Nothing impacts the reside website except (and until) you click Apply to Weblog" within the prime right nook of the template designer. The principle advantage of pre-made website templates and flash templates is that you can preview the look of your future website design earlier than you pay for it. It's so improper that UOP duped me into believing someone with no real IT job might get the training wanted for this subject to get a job. Wholesale designer purses are also out there in numerous marvelous colours and sizes; designer handbagsso may be relevant for all.
I too have been designing and coding software program for years (rather a lot longer than 10 years, I am unhappy to admit – you have to be so YOUNG – arrrrggh), anyway – I am on a mission to show anybody who'll hearken to code their own websites by hand. Nicely I think so. If you're not inventive and haven't been skilled as a designer, you probably will not ever have the ability to make net designs that take folks's breath away. A coordinator function will also help you develop your planning and organizational abilities, which you will have to be able to demonstrate if you go for a challenge management job. I want to give one personal recommendation to all of you earlier than coming into any contest that do not copy any design concept, otherwise you'll be out of the competition. Good ideas here.I can not wait to quit my retail job.(massive field store) and find something more in line with my independence loving way of life.
This program focuses on helping students develop a robust portfolio for career progress/job search. The usual was still relatively easy when compared to right this moment's HTML however still formed a lot of what internet design means. With an enormous collection of native jobs, both half-time and full-time, US job seekers are nicely taken care of on the SnagAJob platform. A superbly written job utility, a top quality resume and a list of positive references is the job seekers trifecta. As soon as it has located all errors in your site, they will be listed for you and grouped by internet page. Go to my profile to view more information about my internet sites, mandala designs and graphic design background.

There's plenty of talk these days about finding the dream job. Job seekers routinely jump through hoops to get the job that any professional would covet – a position at the big hot company with all the perks and all of the pay. After all, it's what you're socialized to do. You compete for degrees at the best schools and then start it all over again by going after the best jobs.
However, success does not mean happiness. Just because you have a job that looks great on paper doesn't mean you're going to be fulfilled. Often, you'll land a dream job only to realize that it's anything but. Here are four reasons people come to that realization and quit their dream jobs:
Flexibility wasn't an option
No matter how much money you're making and how "great" the company is, if there is no flexibility to take care of life's everyday needs, the dream job may fade. No one wants to sneak out for doctors appointments or take PTO just to manage the electrician coming to the house. If flexibility is not integrated into the work structure, professionals tend to reconsider their job choice. In a survey conducted by Mom Corps, a national talent acquisition and career development firm, 39% of working adults considered leaving or have left a job because it wasn't flexible enough, and 73% agree that flexibility is one of the most important factors they consider in a role.
[Related: How do your benefits compare to other employees?]
The boss ruined it
Job satisfaction wanes if you end up having a poor relationship with your direct boss. Direct supervisors are one of the top reasons professionals report liking their jobs or not. When professional land great jobs without thinking about how their personality and working style will match up with their boss, it can be a recipe for disaster. A direct supervisor is often a gateway to more opportunities and is supposed to be an advisor in helping to identify and solve problems. If this relationship is taxed, it can be the defining factor in leaving a dream job all together.
The "dream" changed
Every opportunity is a stepping stone in learning about yourself – what energizes you and what contributions you want to make in this world. Sometimes, those learnings have opened up a whole new world and thus a new dream. Just look at Oprah Winfrey…She left a highly successful talk show at the epitome of its success to do something she'd never done before but knew she needed to do – create and run an entirely new cable network. Her dream evolved as so many people's do.

Shiny toy syndrome
Many dream jobs are like shiny new toys. They seem great and people jump all in without thinking about how the needs of this job are aligned with what will energize them every day. Career expert and author of the forth-coming book The Career Experiment, Baily Hancock, shares why exactly this happens. "Everyone has a unique set of wants and needs in their careers, so what might seem like an amazing job could be a terrible fit for you. It's important to align your core motivators to a company culture, since it's that combination of motivators that make one company right for one person but awful for another," she says. Without taking the time to consider this, people often figure out that their dream job isn't so ideal for them.
If you take these factors into consideration the next time you're considering your dream job, you might just find exactly what you're looking for.

Hawick will lose two councillors at the next local elections in 2017.
Following a debate at Scottish Borders Council's St Boswells headquarters on Thursday (yesterday) morning, Hawick and Denholm councillor Watson McAteer told the Hawick News that the only thing left to be finalised was the shape of the new wards.
He said: "'It is clear from the engagement that SBC has had with the Boundary Commission that reducing Hawick's quota of councillors from six to four in May 2017 is a done deal. What is currently being debated is the second phase of the commissions plans, where the shape of the new wards is being aligned to voter parity, resulting in the prospect of Newcastleton, Denholm, Bonchester and Chesters all being transferred to a Jedburgh superward.
"The proposals are now open to public consultation it must be hoped that the voices of those who are already making their feelings known are listened to."

Imagine you are at an interview and are sitting in a very comfortable office chair across from your interviewer.
You are probably imagining what the interviewer and the room look like. Forget about them. Imagine what YOU are doing in this scenario.
Are you shifting your weight in your chair? How is your posture? What are your hands doing? Where are your eyes looking?
Your body is always communicating to others. At home, at work, at the grocery store. The way you stand, your posture, your facial expressions, eye contact (or lack thereof), and personal "quirks" are all speaking something to those around you. Not with verbal words, but with body language.
If you've never thought about these things as they pertain to the job search, now is a great time to start. Your body language says just as much, if not more about yourself and your interest in a position than your words.
How you sit speaks loudly about your current mood and thoughts. Look down and observe how you are sitting right now. Are you laying on the couch with your laptop (casual)? Are you reading this on your phone while you pace the floor at the doctor's office(impatient)? Are you sitting at your desk with your feet flat on the floor and back straight (productive)? Are you slouching (discouraged)?
Several years ago, I was interviewing a young woman who was sitting with one arm draped over the chair beside her and her legs spread widely - like a baseball player sitting on the bench. She was also chewing gum. I remember this particular interview well because her body language suggested she was not taking the interview very seriously and didn't care one iota about what I thought of her.
Another interviewee's brow was furrowed and his arms were crossed across his chest the entire duration of our time together. He didn't seem happy to be at the interview, and exuded an arrogant demeanor by his stance.
Over the next several days, notice what your body is saying in different circumstances, personally and professionally. Ask the person you are with about what your body language is suggesting your mood or thoughts are. You might be surprised at how clearly your body language speaks!
Eye Contact
You should always look your interviewer directly in the eyes. It can be uncomfortable if you aren't used to doing it. Practice looking directly at your own eyes in a mirror to adjust to the new habit. Try to match a pleasant facial expression with your eye contact. Once you feel you are ready, try practicing with others. When you are checking out at the grocery store, look the clerk in the eyes as you interact. You can practice this skill every time you speak with someone, making it a quick habit to strengthen.
During yet another interview I was conducting, one particular woman checked her watch every five minutes and kept looking behind me at the door. I cut the interview short as it was crystal clear that she was anxious to be done with our time together.
Put yourself in the interviewer's shoes, by thinking of a real-world example. Have you ever been talking with a colleague or friend and he or she never looks at your eyes, but instead looks at their computer or phone? In that moment, their eyes told you that whatever was on that screen was more important to them than you and what you had to say. Eye contact reveals distraction and priority, and that's especially true in an interview setting.
You can see how body language and eye contact are important. Don't dismiss the powerful language your body and eyes speak. Pay attention in every aspect of your life and you might be surprised to find you are often sending messages that you thought you were keeping internally.

Every night when Kerrie Duggan smothers her four-year-old daughter Rosara with goodnight kisses before sinking into her own soft, warm bed, her thoughts turn to a Syrian mother she met a fortnight ago in the Calais refugee camp they call The Jungle.
Creative career mentor Kerrie, 38, had made the journey for two reasons: she wanted to find a caravan called Phoebe Hope, donated to the camp in memory of a young relative; and she wanted to talk to the family who live in it now.
"I wasn't optimistic about finding her," Kerrie confesses. "But we were walking through a group of shabby caravans and there she was – a green, weathered looking van. We knocked on the door and it was opened by a lady and her teenage son.
"I showed her a photo of Rosara standing at Phoebe's door.
"I can't explain what happened next but it was one of the most moving experiences of my life. Fatima ran out and held me and thanked me over and over. She couldn't speak English but she offered me food and tea and showed me a picture drawn by her seven-year-old son Mohamat.
"Our tears dropped as we hugged and I promised to visit again. We spent only a few minutes together, but I felt deeply connected."
Kerrie, of Stanbridge Road, is determined to return and wants to set up a creative project for the women and children in the camp.
She says: "Many charities are doing amazing work. There's a church – a tranquil haven in the midst of all the madness. There's a small school, and health, youth and legal centres – a human civilisation rising up in the face of the lowest adversity.
"There are youths playing badminton, football and scaling make-shift buildings. They're finding ways to keep warm, numb the pain and escape the living reality of existing here.
"Make no mistake, this is no holiday camp. It's the ground zero of choices.
"But in the despair are glimmers of hope. In the dismay there is still laughter and in the humiliation there is still pride."

Japan's July Industrial Output Fell, Defying Expectations for an Increase
TOKYO -- Japanese industrial production fell sharply in July, adding to anxieties that the country's modest economic uptick might already be peaking.
The Ministry of International Trade and Industry said output fell 0.7% in July from June. Economists surveyed had forecast on average a rise of 0.1%.
The ministry also released retail-sales data...
