-- By Tom Phillips
In 1960, Swedish director Ingmar Bergman's film "The Virgin
Spring" shocked and outraged audiences
in Europe and America. The film
dramatizes a medieval Swedish ballad of rape, murder, and revenge – all shown
with brutal realism. It ends with a
scene of penitence and prayer, as a spring bursts forth from the shallow grave
of the young victim.
|The Virgin Spring
The rape scene was censored in the US, and I saw the film in a truncated form in 1960. Still, it took 57 years until I dared to look again. "The Virgin Spring" is 89 minutes of continuous tension, dread, shock, and only at the end, redemption.
Bergman, wounded by the violation of his work, put out a brief letter defending its frankness. He said the rape scene had an ethical significance. "It shows the crime in its naked atrocity, forcing us, in shocked desperation, to leave aesthetic enjoyment of a work of art for passionate involvement in a human drama of guilt and grace… We must not hesitate in our portrayal of human degradation, even if, in our demand for truth, we must violate certain taboos."
Ethics trumps Aesthetics.
In 2017, Laura Peterson will not be censored for her new version of "Failure." But in its way, it is just as shocking a violation of our usual aesthetic standards. Refashioned in the wake of the 2016 election, "Failure" is a picture of just the "American carnage" that our new leader claimed would end with his inauguration. In her program note, the choreographer calls it "a protest against the elevation of materialism and thoughtless accumulation of wealth at any cost."
It does this by showing the cost – i.e. the degradation of American lives, one by one, into the slavish pursuit of an illusion. A great chasm has opened between the rich and the rest of us in America, and for the vast majority, there is no way to bridge it. Working three jobs will not do it for the single mother. Teaching ten courses will not do it for the PhD adjunct professor. For-profit colleges with E-Z loan terms will not do it for the hopeful student. Unpaid internships will not do it for the would-be young professional. The reality for most is a new form of slavery.
Do I exaggerate? I don't think so. I knew we were in trouble back in the 1980s, in the heady Reagan years, when I first heard the phrase "maximizing profits." At the time I was working for CBS, and I recall the report of a conversation between our CEO, Laurence Tisch, and Ted Turner, the inventor and boss of CNN. Turner boasted that he didn't even pay a third of his workers – that bright young people would work as interns for nothing, simply in the hope that they would win favor and someday be rewarded with gainful employment. Tisch licked his chops, and it wasn't long before CBS began expanding its unpaid labor force. At around the same time, CBS's "60 Minutes" ran an expose of prison labor in China. A hidden camera caught a Chinese official telling Americans that China could produce cheap goods by turning prisons into factories, with inmates as unpaid workers. Shocking! And inspiring. Today a journalism graduate in America can spend ten years working for free – reporting and even editing – and wind up with nothing, just failure.
Peterson's "Failure" ends with a marathon to nowhere. Four dancers exhaust themselves, hauling their bodies through a repetitive series of steps, breathless, flagging, failing, losing their technique, style, stage presence, and finally their will to dance. An ugly scene. One offended spectator called it an "assault on the audience." But like "The Virgin Spring" it ends with a redeeming tableau, even an apotheosis: four dancers, each a "failure," mount a platform and stand, with dignity, close together under the stained-glass upper window of Judson Memorial Church.
Like Bergman, Peterson sacrifices aesthetic pleasure for an ethical purpose—a portrayal of human degradation. The assault on the audience represents the rape of the American people. What form of vengeance will come is yet unknown. But just as history did not end with the triumph of "Freedom" in the late 20thcentury, neither will it end here in the carnage.

Empty boyhood's piercing treasure,
Gaping wound flows without measure~
Fatherless well so dank and musty,
Mother's apron stained and dusty~
Flying on to spiritual glory,
buried below a shameful story~
Puzzles locked in many rooms,
descend in fear to ancient tombs~
Gold plated terror, worn by time,
Glossed by light to hide the crime~
Oceans of tears to deep to sail,
become the gull to no avail~
Enlightenment seeks to be the goal,
oozes through the gaping hole~
Empty life lay in the ashes,
no eyes to peer through sequin sashes.
Blinded by God's who've lost their throne,
society's men are mindless drones~
The blood dance done, the scepter broken,
whispers heard, where lies are spoken~
Who then will ascend to highest tower,
claim the throne and sword of power?
Who then will feel the joy this brings,
no throne, no sword, and no more kings~
Written age 14 whilst reading a lot of Joseph Campbell and Robert Bly at the time~

The Wilderness Act turned 50 a few years ago. Middle-aged, not keen on change, it would likely rather approach its golden years without controversy, but last month at the urging of the Sustainable Trails Coalition, Utah Sens. Lee and Hatch introduced Senate Bill 3205, the "Human-Powered Travel in Wilderness Areas Act," that aims to allow mountain bikes in designated wilderness and the act is back on center stage.
There is a lot to know and understand about wilderness and the Wilderness Act, perhaps most importantly that only about 5 percent of the entire U.S. (including Alaska) and 2.7 percent of the lower 48 is protected as Wilderness. There are currently just over 109 million acres contained within the National Wilderness Preservation System in 44 states and Puerto Rico, 56 million acres of which is in Alaska. Wilderness lands are found within and managed by all four land management agencies including the Forest Service, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Land Management. Colorado's largest wilderness area is the Weminuche Wilderness, in our backyard, at almost 500,000 acres.
Wilderness makes up a small percentage of our country's hundreds of millions of acres of state and federal public lands. And considering that, the effort to open wilderness lands to bikes misses the mark.
First and foremost, the act is one of our foundational environmental laws. Enacted in 1964, it was designed to safeguard a remnant of our nation's public lands from the advances of population and technology, "expanding settlement and growing mechanization."
Howard Zahniser, The Wilderness Act's principal author, defined wilderness in 1956 as a place that offered outstanding opportunities for solitude, primitive experience, and without the "mechanisms that make us immediate masters over our environment." To Zahniser, wilderness remained a place of human restraint. He spent eight years working with Congress to develop the precise language the act contains that includes acceptable activities in Wilderness, biking not among them.
The controversy, and what S.B. 3205 is written to amend, is the Wilderness Act's definition of "mechanical transport" that for 50 years has strictly excluded motorized and mechanized transport in wilderness. There is no reason to change that now. Over 100 conservation, sportsmen, wildlife, hiking and horseman's organizations stated this in a March letter to Congress calling on them to reject calls to amend the act.
If Lee and Hatch were truly interested in public lands stewardship, they would not be chipping away at the Wilderness Act. Nor would they be working to transfer public lands to the states, which have no money to manage them properly. Their efforts are disingenuous and transparently aimed at gaining access to our public lands for extractive uses while straining the traditional alliances of conservation and recreation groups, the latter of which are split on the issue.
Instead, in this 100th year anniversary of the Park Service, they would be working to fully fund our public land agencies to catch up with millions of dollars of maintenance backlogs. They would support local efforts of broad coalitions of users to establish and share new trails on other public lands, including suitable park lands – a new initiative the International Mountain Bicycling Association has been advancing.
What is needed is a 21st-century land ethic that builds on the strength of the Wilderness Act instead of working to dismantle it.

What's left unsaid is that he is the most inaccurate passer in the league when it comes to throws under 10 yards.
From ESPN:
"Mark Sanchez ranks third in the AFC in average throw distance, has two touchdowns with no interceptions and has a better completion percentage on the deep ball than Robert Griffin III, Aaron Rodgers and Matt Ryan, who all rank Top five in the NFL in total completion percentage. "
What's left unsaid is that he is the most inaccurate passer in the league when it comes to throws under 10 yards.
Well, if there was ever a time to execute the deep ball it's this Sunday. Pats biggest weakness is their secondary/deep coverage as the Seahawks proved late.
Chad had amazing deep ball proficiency, but nobody confused that with the idea that he had a cannon arm.
Same can be said of this accuracy issue.
Mark has always thrown a good deep ball it's outside the numbers that he isn't consistent or confident. There are way too many passes thrown in the middle of the field which can be dangerous with deflections and such.

The Jets do not have any receiver in the top 20 of dropped passes this year.
Silly bickering aside in this thread, I just found it interesting and surprising. I fully expected Sanchez to be at the bottom throwing deep.
The sooner Tex is outta here, the better
Each and every thread I am on, he's flaming away
This tells me that this offense needs to go like the 70's Raiders. Run Run Bomb, Run Run Bomb, with a few short passes thrown in.
This can work against New England who has allowed the most 30+ yard passing plays in the league this year with about 11.

Technology has become an essential component of everyday business life and if you're an accounting professional you're mainly looking at how it impacts financials, tax work and security.
To this end, Avalara chief technology officer and EVP of Engineering Peter Horadan took the time to compile a list of the top three areas of most concern to accounting professionals that will be impacted by technology. The original blog post is found on the Avalara site.
Here are his predictions for 2018:
1. Blockchain will begin to end the tyranny of PDF/email-based invoicing
Bitcoin continues to garner headlines, but in 2018, the underlying blockchain open ledger technology will generate the most business buzz. Blockchain has far more game-changing use cases than just tracking the ownership of digital currency.
For example, it can serve as the basis for smart contracts, an idea we predicted some time ago that is steadily picking up steam. In 2018, using blockchain to automate and simplify the order/invoice cycle will take hold.
Today's manual process of emailing PDFs and keying in the information is cumbersome, time-consuming and error-prone. With a private blockchain, the entire process can be automated and secure. The buyer's purchase order could be written to the ledger and received digitally by the seller.
Using APIs, shipping and invoicing could be automatically initiated and confirmed. Once the product is received, payment could also be initiated via the ledger - perhaps using Bitcoin or another digital currency (or even dollars) - and automatically recorded when received. This potential to automate and shorten the order/invoice cycle will compel many vendors and businesses to explore blockchain's capabilities.
2. Get ready to share your entire ledger with the government
In general, governments around the world and state governments in the U.S. are looking for ways to get the taxes due to them faster and more reliably - while also reducing the potential for fraud. This effort will continue and also expand in 2018.
Brazil and India have already established new regulations and many states in the U.S. are exploring their options. Driving these efforts is the increased digital automation in businesses, which has handed governments the ability to demand real-time reporting of transactions and full access to a company's digital ledger, so they can reconcile actual tax obligations against the amounts received.
A first step toward this in the U.S. is the Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) initiative, which is an effort by states, local governments and many in the business community to simplify and reduce the burden of sales and use tax collection, administration and compliance. Merchants that want to participate in SST must provide ledger-level details in their tax filing.
However, as governments recognize the revenue benefits and fraud reduction they can achieve, and as merchants realize the cost and efficiency benefits they can gain from automation, the drive toward real-time transaction reporting will accelerate.
3. The collapse of the Social Security Number
We predicted last year that in 2017 we would need to accept that all of the personally identifiable information (PII) businesses and governments collect about us is essentially public information. The pace and extent of data breaches has proved us right and despite new regulations, such as the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and new security technologies designed to protect PII, citizens in the U.S. remain particularly vulnerable to PII leakage and identity theft. As a result, look for 2018 to be the year when the U.S. government finally recognizes that its core personal identification system, a single lifetime Social Security Number, is wholly inadequate to the challenge.
The solution likely won't materialize in 2018, but a discussion will begin about whether the new ID system should be based on some form of electronic identification card, similar to Belgium, Chile, Estonia, Germany, Israel, Spain and many others that are already doing so. We expect the debate to be intense and boisterous across all the stakeholders, including government entities, technology companies and private groups and we can only hope that the optimal security strategy -- not partisanship -- will be the substance of these debates.

Tree-lined Roseland with its large estate homes and picturesque Tyandaga usually come to mind when the conversation turns to life in Burlington.
Most people forget, however, that 4,000 people live in one square block in the Warwick-Surrey Community, in the one of the highest density neighborhoods in Halton.
The area, just south of the intersection of Plains Road and Francis Road, used to be referred to by trash talkers as 'Burlington's ghetto'.
The towering apartment buildings and low-income condominiums were the site of noise disturbances, vandalism, domestic disputes and even a murder.
All that changed when the late George Bolus took charge in building a parkette there on vacant land.
Then in August, 200 volunteers appeared from nowhere on a Sunday morning to erect a new play area for children. Since the Warwick-Surrey Community Association was formed residents have demonstrated time and time again they are interested in making the area a better place to live.
Like drones in a beehive they transported the parts and loads of mulch to the site, where two experts flown in from California, provided by KaBoom! a national non-profit group dedicated to giving all kids the childhood they deserve, supervised the assembly.
The playground equipment was supplied by the Foresters Financial group.
Burlington firefighters, including Capt. Ryan Wheatley, did their share moving wheelbarrows full of mulch. Burlington MP Karina Gould, Burlington MPP Eleanor McMahon and Ward 1 Councillor Rick Craven, who was there all weekend, set aside their fancy dresses and suits to get their hands dirty for a good cause.
Deanna Allain, a Grade 12 student at Hamilton's Westmount high school who does co-op work in the office of Hamilton Ward 3 Councillor Matt Green, came to Burlington to pitch in and help make a giant scrabble board.
Some volunteers showed up to do preliminary work on Friday and Saturday. The rest of the gang arrived on Sunday morning at 8, and by 2.30 p.m. the playground was finished.
Craven said some local fundraising was required to meet an obligation to KaBoom! The goal was $11,000, but there was so much enthusiasm that $20,000 was collected and there now will be a few small additions made to the playground park.
KaBoom! was founded in 1996. In 2014 U.S. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle helped build a playground on the National Day of Service.
"The success of the program reflects the effectiveness of the Partnering Aldershot group and the Warwick–Surrey Community Association," he said. "The result is there now is excellent play equipment within walking distance of more than 1,000 children."
"City parks and recreation staff were tremendous in support of this community effort."
New concrete curbs were built, benches provided for parents and landscaping was done to improve aesthetics.
Children from the neighborhood created a design for the play area at a special event held in June.
Foresters has been involved in more than 1,000 similar projects in the U.S., but this was the first in Canada.
"We believe in enriching lives and building strong communities — that's our purpose," said Chris Stranahan, the company's international fraternal president.
"Playgrounds are important because they provide a public space where children can play safely, families can spend quality time and the community can come together. An investment in a playground is an investment in community, and we are happy to provide the Burlington community with a place that families can enjoy for years to come."

Movie made by my favorite director. Why is this movie so popular? Let me show you. From the first movie from Rooth Tang, I am his biggest fan. I'm still impressed about this movie, even after watching it about six times ;) No movie ever filled me with such a strange energy. I don't really know enough about the original story behind screening. If you think this movie is bad, I can prove you that you're wrong. You can watch it wasted, you can watch it depressed, you can watch it happy, it will be great everytime. I loved this mix of emotions Sway has gave me. Sway will stand as one of the best drama movie at least in my mind.

The McQuaig Mental Agility Test (MMAT) is a timed, 15-minute cognitive ability test, which assesses general intelligence, also commonly referred to as "G." "G" demonstrates a candidate's ability to understand and process information, which is critical to learning, problem solving, and decision-making, as well as to communicating information efficiently and effectively. That is why "G" tests are incorporated into the hiring process all over the world.
– Verbal comprehension: understanding language
– Mathematical ability: processing numerical information
– Reasoning: using a deductive or inductive process
– The difference between an average score and a great score may be measured by only a few points.
– For example, five points between candidates—one who scores 37 is in the 70th percentile, while one who scores 42 is in the 87th percentile—is a huge difference when choosing whom to hire.
In addition, please see our McQuaig Word Survey personality test.
The McQuaig Mental Agility Test is designed in a way that test takers should not expect to finish all 50 questions. In fact, very few people are able to finish them. However, candidates are advised to answer the questions as quickly as possible. That is why it is necessary to practise taking the tests using our samples.
The following are some sample questions, but additional questions, practice tests, and study resources are available within the McQuaig Mental Agility Test PrepPack™. The answers to these sample questions are filled in for you.
What is REPUDIATE?
a. acknowledge, b. overrule, c. compromise, d. extend, e. none of these
The correct answer is (B). The word "repudiate" means "to reject or overrule."
What is the opposite of ADEQUATE?
a. intelligent, b. humourous, c. poor, d. moderate, e. intolerable
The correct answer is (C). The word "adequate" means "good enough." Therefore, the opposite of "adequate" is "poor."
Which number comes next in the following series?
121 132 127 138 133 144 139 ……
The correct answer is (A). The pattern of the series is:
(121) + 11 – 5 + 11 – 5 + 11 – 5. Therefore, the next logical number in the series is 139 + 11, which is 150.
What number can replace both question marks?
The correct answer is 10 or 10. All of the following fractions can be reduced to both 1/5 and 1/5: 2/10, 2/10, 10/50, 10/50.
Wrench is to tool as toaster is to
a. appliance, b. burn, c. aroma, d. coffee
The correct answer is (A). A wrench is a type of tool, and a toaster is a type of appliance.
Practising in advance for the McQuaig Mental Agility Test is essential to being ready for the test and achieving good results. Scoring high will give you a competitive edge and increase your chances of being hired.

Babajaan Swimwear // Hard Part Braid
With Christmas only 4 days away, that's all I can think about. I chose this bikini specifically to be posted before Christmastime with it's festive red coloring and gold hardware. I'd been following a lot of blogs during NYFW I had seen this amazing braid on a silhouette of smooth, oiled down hair. I hardly wear my hair straight so I knew I had to try it with my soft curls. The braid was very easy to do! But getting prepped in a car with wind coming at you from every direction was not the easy part! In January 2016 I will be posting how-to videos so stay tuned to see how this braid was created!
The Babajaan bikini really stood out to me with it's simplistic shape and pop of color. Gold hardware on anything is my favorite I was immediately attracted to this as well. I paired it with a warm festive sweater from Urban Outfitters. One of my favorite things about this shoot, other than location, was the hat! Process and Content is a wonderful milliner based out of Silver Lake, CA. The hats they make are gorgeous pieces of art and extremely attentive to detail. I was almost too scared to wear it for fear of not doing it justice. There's small details on each hat that differ with each style of hat. There's soft details of colored thread on the brim and a silver emblem on the side. I highly recommend this brand to all looking for a long-term relationship with a hat as they take pride in their work and it shows.

Science Daily/University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing
New research from the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing has found that children who regularly have breakfast on a near-daily basis had significantly higher full scale, verbal, and performance IQ test scores.
In one of the first studies to examine IQ and breakfast consumption, researchers examined data from 1,269 children six years old in China, where breakfast is highly valued, and concluded that children who did not eat breakfast regularly had 5.58 points lower verbal, 2.50 points lower performance, and 4.6 points lower total IQ scores than children who often or always ate breakfast after adjusting for seven sociodemographic confounders.
The researchers suggest that schools play a role in stressing the importance of eating breakfast by delaying start times and/or providing breakfast to allow students to profit from the cognitive benefits of eating before a morning curriculum.
"Because adequate nutrition in early childhood has been linked to increased IQ through childhood, which is related to decreased childhood behavioral disorders, better career satisfaction, and socioeconomic success in adults, breakfast consumption could ultimately benefit long-term physical and mental health outcomes as well a quality of life," said Dr. Liu.
"These findings may reflect nutritional as well as social benefits of breakfast consumption on children and hold important public health implications regarding regular breakfast consumption in early young children.

Help Me Find Me
Months ago when I was still living with my wife and her parents, my mother-in-law asked me if I liked a particular food one night. For the life of me I can't remember what it was but I do remember that it's not a food I'm particularly fond of. I told her that I would eat it which prompted my wife to exclaim, "That is not my husband."
Some time later she told me I was a different person than I used to be and that she didn't know me anymore. Considering that just a few months prior she had left me because of who I was I thought that was a good thing, but evidently I was wrong.
Since last August, I've had my heart and world shattered, depression literally made me sick (as in, couldn't keep food down and lost 30 lbs), got treated for it, began recognizing and addressing my faults, tried to fix my marriage only to have my heart shattered again (and then turn immediately to stone), and gone through many ups and downs with depression as circumstances change.
Just last week I was flying high. I was happy. I was in a generally good mood and not much got me down. This week I'm miserable. The glass is half empty. Everything sucks. There's no hope. Why bother? Who cares? Fuck the world.
I wrote a poetic duet with Miss Hasty yesterday and afterwords I received an email. "You are not this person," it said. "Right now I am," was my response. But then I got to thinking…who am I? And then I realized I don't have the slightest fucking clue. One minute I'm cheerful and joking the next minute I'm somber and morose. And the shitty thing is that I have no fucking control over it. It's like some fucked up Magic 8-Ball for my moods. Every time I move a different side of me is unearthed.
Furthermore, I don't even know how to discover who I am. There are things I'm certain of. I'm a good father, but is that part of who I am or is that just something I am? I know what type of music I like, but is that really part of who I am? Is my goofy sense of humor part of who I am or a symptom of my depression? A mechanism to deflect all of the things I don't want to deal with? Is my depression who I am or does it just define me? Do I even want it to define me? Why am I being defined?
Is who you are defined by how you act? Your characteristics? The things you enjoy? The clothes you wear? The things you do? The things you say? Is it all of those things? Is it none of those things? I have no idea. Or is a person constantly evolving? Does nobody stay the same? I'm not the same person I was a year ago. Hell, I'm not even the same person I was three months ago.
Someone help me find me. Help me find who I am. Help me discover myself. Help me know me. Help me find out just who I am, because I'm clueless If the people that know me best don't even recognize me what does that mean?

His Name Is John | written by: Micki Ann Harris/
With this story fresh in our memory, a friend recently prayed for me. That the new year would bring an end to this season of feeling "mute" in my prayers and the lack of creative, life-giving voice. That, as Zechariah, I would be released to create and bless and praise God afresh.
I now pray the same for you, dear readers.

Advent Candle Meaning
Advent is the period of anticipation roughly between Thanksgiving and Christmas leading up to the celebration of Jesus' birth. Families traditionally use their Advent candle wreaths as centerpieces and light a specific number of candles each week during dinner followed by a meaningful reading.
The Colors of Advent
Advent candle meaning is slightly different in each faith because the colors of the candles can be different and the overall meaning of the event varies.
- Purple: This traditional color symbolizes penitence, or regret for sins, and penance, or self-imposed punishment for a sin. As the color of royalty, purple also speaks to the birth of the new King, Jesus and serves as a reminder of his suffering.
- Pink: Most often used on the third or fourth week, pink represents rejoicing. As many people see the end to their fasting approaching, they prepare to celebrate.
- Blue: Resembling the night sky or the waters in Genesis blue can also symbolize royalty. This color represents hope.
- Red: As a symbol for communion and a prominent Christmas color, red candles have German roots or can be used to promote religious unity.
- Green: When used in Advent, green represents faith or the spiritual life.
- White: A large white pillar candle in the center of the wreath represents Christ and the peace he brings.
- Gold: This opulent color represents love and kingship and symbolizes the Christmas season in some religions.
Advent Wreath Religious Meanings
Advent wreaths and candles are more than another holiday decoration. These symbolic items represent the beliefs of different religions in a way that recognizes why they are celebrating Christmas.
- For many Christians of varying denominations, Advent is seen as a time to prepare for the celebration of Christ's arrival. Each candle represents one aspect of the waiting and is lit to signify Jesus bringing light into people's lives.
- In Catholic households, the first two candles are purple in conjunction with the color of penance and the color worn by priests, the third is pink for the color of rejoicing, and the fourth is also purple.
- Orthodox Christians observe Advent for 40 days using six candles with one each in green, blue, gold, white, purple, and red.
- Some Lutheran churches in the U.S. use four blue candles to represent hope and expectation while others follow the Catholic version.
- In Protestant churches, you will often find blue candles used as well or instead of the purple candles because their view of advent reflects more on hope and expectation rather than an arrival and preparation.
A Household Tradition
Advent wreaths are often used by families in the home, not necessarily in a church. These personal ceremonies speak to each family member's beliefs and values about the holiday season.

During four days in spring we want to show the latest developments, paint a picture of Swedish children's culture and create opportunities for networking between all those that are committed to bringing high quality performing arts to younger audiences. bibu is an opportunity for performers, decision makers, teachers, children etc to meet booth on and off stage. Shows and seminars will give fantastic experiences as well as meaningful discussions and meetings.
Independent theatres and dance companies, regional and national institutions, as well as international guest artists will have the opportunity to present shows of high artistic quality to venue representatives, cultural administrators, teachers, politicians, media and the public.
The presented shows, together with a range of seminars and forums for discussion, makes bibu a natural place for analysis and reflection on the quality, status and possibilities of the art forms.
Swedish performing arts for children and youth have a great reputation internationally and bibu serves as a platform where the wide range of Swedish performing arts can be presented to both national and international interests. The biennial aims to be a meeting point that can strengthen Swedish participation in international networks and collaborations.
The first biennial which was held in May 2006 got reactions like this: "Finally we have a meeting point for everyone working with one of the most important fields of culture." During the subsequent years the biennial has established itself as an important meeting point for actors in the performing arts for a young audience. And now we are ready to take the next step in the development...
bibu 2020 takes place in Helsingborg on the western coast of Skåne and right next to its Danish neighbour Helsingør.
Bibu is an established arranger (Swedish Migration Agency) and a member of the Swedish ITI, Scensverige. Bibu was also an EFFE Label winner in 2015-2016*.

It's 11:20 pm, and my kid isn't asleep yet. Today, two of my sorority sisters were in town so we spent all afternoon being touristy. Then she fell asleep at four and I jumped at the chance to clean out the bathroom cabinets.
So, at 6:30 pm, she awoke. Dinner, bath, toothbrush, then we played for awhile. Went for a walk around the block. My husband is at a party, so it's fine.
I mean, except for how we actually have plans tomorrow morning and have to get up at a specific time. But mostly it's fine.

Vote for Pauline Roccucci for Roseville City Council 2018.
#1 on your ballot… #1 for Roseville!
Why I'm running
Serving the community is why I'm running for Roseville City Council. For me, you could call it my life's second calling. I take great pride in keeping up with the pulse of the community. Whether it's through your phone calls and questions, listening to your comments at public meetings, seeing you at one of our city and neighborhood events, or meeting you for coffee to discuss our community. It's also personal for me. My entire family lives in Roseville and South Placer County. I want to make sure their children and grandchildren will also feel that Roseville is the best place to call home. I know this can only continue to be a vibrant place to live by keeping and expanding the tax base thru proper planning and infrastructure that will encourage business to remain and to relocate here in Roseville.
Proven experience with a track record of success.
Having been the Mayor of the City of Roseville twice, and serving on dozens of committees that are involved in public health and infrastructure, Pauline Roccucci knows what it takes to run our city. With 30 years of experience in public policy and planning, Pauline has been a part of many organizations that have had meaningful impacts on the lives of many in our area, consistently delivering quality results. Roseville will continue to benefit from her commitment and expertise if elected again for City Council this November.
Common sense goals and priorities to guide us.
Public safety, utilities and services, revitalization, quality of life, traffic, and fiscal responsibility have and will continue to be Pauline's main priorities to ensure Roseville continues to provide the same quality of living its citizens have come to expect over the years. Having family who've lived here for nearly 100 years, the Roccucci's know how rewarding it's been to live here, and to preserve that same experience for everyone who is and will be part of this community. This motivation to keep our standards high drives her 2018 campaign for election, and with your support can become a reality.

The Roccucci Family — Pauline, husband Richard and all four of their children and six grandchildren are proud to call Roseville and South Placer home. Families are important to me and I will continue to base my decisions to benefit families, our youth and seniors in Roseville. I'm a good listener who is dedicated to improving our quality of life by addressing my priorities of traffic relief, managed growth and fiscal responsibility.
I hope to improve our fire and police response times and lessen congestion on our roadways to make our community safer. I plan to accomplish this by continuing the City's effort to improve roadways and enhance our traffic signal coordination along major arterials. I am especially concerned about the need for careful City planning in the proposed developments in Western Roseville to help us prevent the kind of reckless sprawl that has too often occurred in other parts of California.
Our family is dedicated to public service. One son is a firefighter/captain, another son a probation officer, a daughter who is a paralegal and has been an elementary school teacher and a daughter who works at Buljan Intermediate School and the City School District Adventure Club..
My mother and father in-laws owned and operated a shoe repair business in Old Historic Roseville for over 45 years and my father worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad in Roseville for over 40 years. My family has lived their entire lives in Roseville so I'm determined to keep Roseville a great place to work, live and raise a family.
My goal is to keep all of our services and utilities at the high level of quality our residents and businesses have come to expect. We need to do this for our children and families.

I'm a strong advocate of common sense planning principals. As Mayor of Roseville I incorporated these principals into all our city's "Specific Plans" to provide a balance between residential, commercial and industrial so that the development is fiscally sound. We however need to keep a close eye on the "Regional Blueprint" planning process because it does not adequately address our infrastructure needs and emphasizes high density development that will create more traffic congestion and more overcrowding in our school classrooms. Smart growth should be the guiding principal where there is a balance of residential and commercial development and where homes are conveniently located near places of employment and shopping.
- Public Safety – A safe community by providing the best police, fire protection and emergency health services for our residents and businesses.
- Utilities and Services – Maintain and improve our utilities and services. Maintain low costs and reliable services which are essential to economic development and citizen well being. Ensure we have a safe water supply, parks and open space for all of our residents.
- Revitalization -Continue the effort with revitalization of Roseville's older areas to minimize blight and encourage private investment.
- Quality of Life – Continue to provide for and increase new businesses in Roseville with emphasis on quality jobs so people can afford to work, live and play in Roseville. Emphasize target industries like green energy, health care, and higher education.
- Traffic Relief – Improve and expand our transportation and roadway systems with an emphasis on providing more opportunities for alternative transportation options like public transit, bicycling, and walking to make Roseville a more pedestrian friendly city.
- Fiscal Responsibility – Promote strict standards of financial oversight and public accountability in City government.

Most frequently asked questions
I'm running for Roseville City Council to protect our community values and our family-friendly quality of life. I've lived in Roseville all my life. I had grandparents who came here in the early 1920's. For me, it's more than just a place; it's a special part of my life. I plan to retire here, and I want to make sure it's a good place for all city residents, present and future.
The biggest issues in Roseville are traffic and planning along with good fiscal management. Part of my background is having served on the Roseville City Council for 12 years and 4 of those as mayor. In those years, I worked on almost every specific plan in Roseville. You have to have good planning. And once you have a plan, you have to stick to it. When you start eroding the base plan, you start having traffic and jobs and housing balance problems. I want to ensure that it's not just developments, it's communities being planned. Housing and jobs need to go together to reduce traffic and improve air quality. I also want to make sure that we're using water efficiently, and that we're using the surface water we have. We need water and energy planning and I bring that kind of expertise to the Roseville City Council. Balanced growth provides revenues for needed services.
I would work to improve communication/coordination between the Cities of South Placer and Placer County so we can plan better as a region. I come with the background of having served on the Roseville Planning Commission, Roseville City Council, Placer County Water Agency Board District, and I also have an ability to work with people. That's what I'm going to bring to the Roseville City Council. I have the experience of being able to work with many entities. You get things done when you get people to the table and talk. I also would bring leadership and trust to the Council. Others may agree or disagree with me, but they will always know where I stand.
Growth needs to be controlled and all the element s of Smart Growth need to be incorporated into the plans, not just increase the density of residential zoning. I want to make sure we maintain a mix of land uses. It takes careful planning and making sure you have the entire infrastructure in place. You don't build something without the right infrastructure like roads, water, and schools. I'm going to make sure that any plan that comes before us has a good traffic plan. Roseville and Placer County recently agreed to a revenue sharing plan which will provide for the infrastructure required in the new growth in West Roseville.
When looking at new development, our existing residents need to be taken care of. We can't look to the future if we can't take care of what we have right now. As we're looking at new annexations, we need to make sure that we have the proper transportation systems in place. The new development should pay for all the required infrastructure and new growth shouldn't have to be paid by existing residents or businesses. When it's all said and done, we all have to live here.
My opponents will raise a lot of money, much of it from special interest. I just use common sense on campaign fundraising and spending. I want to make sure I raise enough money to run an efficient campaign. I prefer that there is a campaign limit for all candidates.
Everybody needs to look at the candidates running and pick people who are going to listen to them and who have listened to them in the past. You should expect your representative to have an open door and listen to you because you are a citizen of Roseville. You should demand that from any of your representatives. I'm here for service to the community and citizens should expect good service from me, and not because I belong to one party or another.
I love this community. My husband and I are both life long residents of Roseville. Our 4 children and 6 grandchildren are all residents of Roseville and South Placer. My background of 40 years as a registered nurse and my community service for over 20 years has provided me the experiences to continue to be a leader for Roseville residents over the next four years. Our family is dedicated to community service. My husband is a former Mayor of Roseville and presently is a Placer County Planning Commissioner. One son is a firefighter/captain, another son is a probation officer, a daughter who is a paralegal and has been an elementary school teacher and a daughter who has worked as a pre-school teacher's assistant. My vision is for Roseville to be a vibrant, healthy community where we can work, live, play and raise our families in safety.

Transforming Teaching. Inspiring Lives
Are you starting University in Autumn 2019? Plan to study a maths or physics related degree?
What's on offer
The Future Teaching Scholars programme is an exciting new initiative from the Department for Education to get more maths and physics students into teaching.
Successful applicants will be awarded a significant scholarship programme that includes a £15,000 grant whilst they study at university, a place on an initial teacher training course paid as an unqualified teacher, support in finding their first teaching job, as well as extensive personal and professional development support for six years through a network of outstanding Teaching Schools.
This prestigious programme only has a limited number of spaces – applications for the current round are still open.
To find out more and to apply, visit www.futureteachingscholars.com.
Emily Giubertoni – West Midlands Regional Training Director of the Future Teaching Scholars programme:
Have you heard about Future Teaching Scholars? It is a new route into teacher training, and being involved with the programme has been one of the highlights of our Teaching School Alliance year so far!
This is a teacher-training programme for those select few people who have outstanding academic ability in Maths and Physics, but who also, at the age of 18, know that they want to commit at least 3 years, post-graduating, to teaching.
It is inspirational to talk to the 10 participants who are based at our Teaching School this year. They are doing exceptionally well in degrees at the University of Birmingham, Warwick University, and Worcester University, but they also speak with such passion about the imperative to make a social difference, to give back to society, and to make a contribution to the education of the next generation.
You get £15,000 for committing to the programme, but this is not the motivating factor for our trainees; these are people who want to do more with their lives, and to share the academic gifts they have been given.
So far, our trainees have had two training days in school, working together with outstanding teachers to develop their skills.
They are also busy completing 6 days working in school, delivering lessons, and starting to do what they came here to do: get in the classroom and teach!
Some of the comments mentors have shared about our Scholars shows what a tremendous impact they are already making:
"I was really impressed with Felicia. She taught two, really good 20 minute sessions. They were planned and delivered exceptionally well."
"Reece and Jesse both seemed very forthcoming, enthusiastic and ready to get involved…they both made some quite impressively astute observations."
"I wish the training session I led for the trainees could have gone on for another hour – they are so switched on and engaged with thinking of really creative and interesting ways to improve their pedagogy and skills in the classroom."

US Treasury FX report: Monitoring India; Thailand at risk of being labelled - NomuraBy Sandeep Kanihama
Analysts at Nomura explain that the US Treasury's just-published semi-annual report to congress on "Foreign Exchange Policies of Major Trading Partners of the United States" did not provide any significant surprises.
Key Quotes
"India was added to the monitoring list and, while no changes were made to the criteria for labeling a country an currency manipulator, the US Treasury did state that it was considering expanding the number of economies (major trading partners) covered in the report, which means countries like Thailand could be included in the future. Interestingly, the report highlighted that an economy could be found to have met the standards of manipulating its currency identified in either 1988 Act or 2015 Act1 without being found to have met the standards identified in the other – Korea, Taiwan and China were labelled as manipulators under the 1988 Act in the 1980s and 1990s."
"Overall, the April FX report should maintain broad appreciation pressures on Asia FX (from the US political angle), especially on India, as it was added to the monitoring list, while a potential expansion of the trade partner list may also limit USD buying actions by the Bank of Thailand (21st-ranked trading partner based on 2017 US Census Bureau data). On specific countries, the report was relatively critical of Germany on its current account surplus, its limited progress to reduce this and EUR undervaluation."
"Although India was added to the monitoring list, the Treasury only stated that further reserve accumulation was not necessary and INR was not undervalued. In China, the report did suggest that RMB could appreciate more on a trade-weighted basis, while on Korea, it stated KRW was undervalued by 1-12% and the current account was still larger than what is fundamentally justified."

BLOGMAS DAY 19: Home for the Holidays!/
In today's post I thought that I would share with you all, some of the decorations we have here at the Neville household! Today I have been in a near catatonic state of jet lag and it has been so nice to have a cosy evening with the family!
I mean how could I not feel festive around this house!! Also I think you guys can see where I get my complete and utter love for Christmas from...either that OR my parents have definitely felt some sort of pressure from my BLOGMAS posts!! Today we actually did venture out of the house and head along to the town centre of County Durham to run some quick errands, but it was so nice to get home and go AHHHHHHHH <3! My Dad actually made the small bauble Christmas tree and the bauble wreath, talented chap that he is! I love that my parents have actually tied in the colours of the wreath, fireplace garland, tree and Christmas tree decorations!
So nice to be around my family at Christmas time! And of course our little dog Mac! This time when coming home I decided to not make SO many plans as I did last year so I could really enjoy being home, and I feel so relaxed about it. Especially since Gino will be joining me next week on the 27th and we have SO much planned!
There are so many things that I love about our family Christmas tree. One of them being that it is actually an artificial tree, for the past almost 12 year we have had the same tree, it smells and looks the same, and it really feels like ours! Each year we add decorations to it, although this year I actually left the decorations Faye and I bought, back in New York! What a fool! However it is so nice to come home to see the different decorations we have collected throughout the years, from various significant dates and places we have visited!
The perfect end to my first night back at home was a cheeky gin & tonic with some takeout Indian food! Possibly the opposite to festive food but damn it was good! Gah, I have been so excited about having a nice evening sat around the dinner table with my family! SO SO happy. Faye & I actually received our first Christmas present today and will be doing it tomorrow...so be sure to check out BLOGMAS DAY 20!!

Liver cirrhosis remains a concern for those infected with the hepatitis C virus.
The incidence of viral hepatitis is on the rise in India with statistics indicating that about 52 million people are affected by this disease. Of this number, 6 to 12 million are chronically infected with Hepatitis C alone. Hepatitis causes inflammation of the liver, a condition which can gradually progress to liver cancer if not diagnosed and treated on time. According to studies, about 1 to 5 in every 100 people with HCV die from liver cirrhosis (scarring of the liver tissue) or liver cancer. When asked if hepatitis C can lead to liver cancer, here is what Dr M Udaya Kumar Maiya, Medical Director, Portea Medical has to say.
Can hepatitis C lead to liver cancer?
Hepatitis C is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus. It can lead to both acute and chronic hepatitis, with the severity ranging from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious, lifelong illness. The virus is bloodborne with one of the most common modes of infection being exposed to small quantities of blood. Read about the standards of hepatitis C care in India.
Liver cirrhosis can take 20 or more years to develop in which time the liver's healthy cells slowly get replaced with scar tissue. During the growth of these scars, the liver tries to self-heal by creating new cells. However, this process of creating new cells can increase the chances of liver cancer because the more the number of cells created, the greater are the chances for a mutation. This is the reason behind the cancerous tumours. There is another downside to this disease. In people who develop chronic HCV infection, the condition is often undiagnosed as there are no visible symptoms even decades after the infection.It is only much later that these symptoms develop secondary to serious liver damage eventually leading up to liver cancer. The incubation period for HCV is about 2 weeks to 6 months. When the symptoms start appearing, the person exhibits fever, fatigue, decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, grey-coloured faeces, joint pain, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes). Read about the common signs and symptoms of liver cancer.
Once the diagnosis of chronic hepatitis C infection is confirmed, a person should get assessed for the degree of liver damage (fibrosis and cirrhosis). This is done through liver biopsy or other non-invasive tests. A laboratory test can also be done to identify the genotype of the hepatitis C strain. Treatment and management of the disease is based on the degree of liver damage and virus genotype.

Untapped Cities has photos from an exhibition of historic and antique maps of New York City at the gallery of Manhattan rare book dealer Martayan Lan. New Amsterdam to Metropolis: Historic Maps of New York City features maps of the city dating back to the 16th century. It opened last November and runs until the end of May 2019. Some (but not all) of the maps, the New York Times notes, are for sale, which is what happens when it's a rare book dealer rather than a museum or library doing the exhibition.

Navigating New York: An Exhibition at the New York Transit Museum
An exhibition at the New York Transit Museum, Navigating New York, got a writeup in Curbed New York. "The exhibit, which has been in the works for about a year, draws heavily on the NYTM's extensive collection of objects related to the transit system—subway maps, yes, but also cartographic tools, renderings, and other ephemera. There are also items that might be familiar even to those who aren't transit wonks, like the New Yorker's 2001 'New Yorkistan' cover by Rick Meyerowitz and Maira Kalman." Vignelli's famous 1972 subway map also makes an appearance. The exhibition runs through 9 September 2019; there's no dedicated web page for it.
Copy of Ratzer's Map of Colonial New York Auctioned for $150,000
A 1776 map of New York City sold at auction in New York last April for $150,000, the Daily Mail reported at the time. The map is the second edition of the more famous, and rare, 1770 map showing the work of surveyor Bernard Ratzer. It was published in England, and was apparently put to use by British officers during the American Revolution. The New York Public Library's copy has been digitized and is available online. [WMS]

Yorktown Campaign Map of New York City Being Auctioned
On 5 December Christie's will auction, as part of a lot of printed books and manuscripts, a map described as "an important manuscript map of New York City prepared by cartographers attached to Rochambeau's forces during the Yorktown Campaign." The 63×40-cm ink-and-watercolour map dates from 1781-1782 and is expected to fetch between $150,000 and $200,000. Christie's item description is quite detailed.
You Are Here: NYC: Mapping the Soul of the City
An exhibition taking place now at the New York City Library, Picturing the City: Illustrated Maps of NYC, features 16 pictorial maps from the Library's collection of illustrations. Running until 9 April 2018, it's curated by Katharine Harmon, whose book, You Are Here: NYC: Mapping the Soul of the City, came out last November from Princeton Architectural Press. Here's an interview with Harmon about the exhibition in Print magazine.
This seems as good an excuse as any to take a closer look at You Are Here: NYC. Past time, actually, since I've had a review copy in my hands for a year now.
You Are Here: NYC is the third of Katharine Harmon's map books. The first, You Are Here: Personal Geographies and Other Maps of the Imagination, came out in 2003, the second, The Map as Art: Contemporary Artists Explore Cartography, in 2010. Harmon's distinctive style in editing and curating these books, carries over to the present volume.

Repairing and Cleaning Old New York Maps
In yesterday's New York Times, a piece on efforts by the New York City Municipal Archives to preserve the city's earliest maps and architectural drawings.
Inside the lab, conservators talk about the care of antique maps like a doctor discusses a patient's condition and treatment in an intensive care unit.
Conservators will lay a given map on a table for an exam and diagnose the issue: Is it brittle or burned? Damaged by water or tape? Crumbly, delaminated or peeling? Then they record the treatment in a chart of sorts so that years later, the next caretaker will know what remedy was given.
The repair process of a map—like that for a more than 200-year-old, torn illustration of Williamsburg, Brooklyn—typically takes several hours, though sometimes the conservators will spend days working on just one.
Project Subway NYC's X-Ray Area Maps
As part of her Project Subway NYC, architect Candy Chan has created a series of X-Ray Area Maps of various New York subway stations. These maps show the subway stations—their platforms, their passages, their staircases—relative to the surrounding streets and buildings. Absolutely engrossing. Chan explains her methodology in this blog post. She's also selling posters. [Kottke]
New York Subway Track Map
Last year I told you about Andrew Lynch's posters of individual New York subway lines. Now Lynch has created something that will be of interest to anyone who likes the London Underground's track network map or Franklin Jarrier's detailed rail maps: a geographically accurate subway track map for New York City, which can be downloaded as a PDF here. He describes how he went about making it (with apologia that sound like standard mapmaking compromises):
Collecting every historical map I could find, using GIS data, satellite imagery (both current and historic), YouTube videos of fan trips, my own observations looking out the window of trains through tunnels, and talking to retired track workers I was able to draw what I believe to be the most accurate track map of the NYC Subway ever. Features I've added to the map are all provisions for future expansion and abandoned sections with a notes section explaining each one as well as an exploded view for the more complex stations and areas obscured by overlapping tracks. I've elected to remove all streets as not to clutter the map and also not to imply that specific sections (such as crossovers) are perfectly aligned to the street grid. While the map is geographically accurate at this scale tracks had to be spaced far enough apart to read correctly so lines are not perfect aligned with the widths of the streets. Also some train yards have been truncated to fit within the geographical boundaries of the map.

Recent Book Reviews
At The Skiffy and Fanty Show, Paul Weimer reviews Atlas Obscura. "So is there a point to the book? Is there any good reason to read the book and not just go trolling and traversing through the website, which has many more entries? Yes. Even in an interconnected world such as ours, there is a tactile experience to flipping through this book, coffee table style […] While wandering through links on the website is a time-honored tradition, the book has a presentation that the website can't quite match." I reviewed Atlas Obscura last September.
Forbes contributor Tanya Mohn reviews Katherine Harmon's latest map art book, You Are Here: NYC: Mapping the Soul of the City (previously). If all goes well (it doesn't always, mind), I should have my own review of this book up later this week. [WMS]
As for the other new map book about New York City, Rebecca Solnit and Joshua Jelly-Schapiro's Non-Stop Metropolis: A New York City Atlas, there's a review up on Hyperallergic by Allison Meier, replete with photos of the book. "Every map is an intense act of creative collaboration, with essays and illustrations in Nonstop Metropolis from over 30 artists and writers. […] And the maps emphasize that this city's character is often missing from our more official cartography." [WMS]
You Are Here: NYC
Today is the publication date for Katharine Harmon's latest book of map art: You Are Here: NYC: Mapping the Soul of the City (Princeton Architectural Press). This is Harmon's third map art book and features some two hundred maps of New York City, "charting every inch and facet of the five boroughs, depicting New Yorks of past and present, and a city that never was." Fast Company Co.Design's Meg Miller has a piece on the book. [via]
Previously: A Forthcoming Map Art Book About New York City.
Nonstop Metropolis: A New York City Atlas
Another book coming out this month: Nonstop Metropolis: A New York City Atlas by Rebecca Solnit and Joshua Jelly-Shapiro (University of California Press, 19 October). It's the third and apparently final book in a series of city atlases authored or co-authored by Solnit — you may remember Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas (2010) or Unfathomable City: A New Orleans Atlas (2013). If you do, you'll have some idea of what Nonstop Metropolis is likely to be about. Curbed New York's Nathan Kensinger has a piece on it, in case you don't. [MAPS-L]
Mapping Gentrification Risk in New York City
The Displacement Alert Project Map is a tool built by the Association for Neighborhood and Housing Development that maps, building by building, the risk of gentrification in New York City—i.e., where the rent is about to get too damn high. Intended for use by housing advocates, tenant organizers, community groups and others, the map calculates the risk of displacement—being pushed out of affordable housing—based on several factors. "Access to this data equips communities with information necessary to fight back against the displacement of residents who are being priced out and pushed out of their neighborhoods, to stop the harassment of tenants by bad landlords, and to prevent the expiration and loss and affordable housing units." [Gothamist/Maps Mania]
Anthony Denaro's Map of All of NYC's Transit
Never mind research that suggests that a single map adding bus lines to an already complicated subway map is cognitively overwhelming. Anthony Denaro has created a map of the New York City transit system that shows bus as well as subway routes—basically, a map of every means of transportation accessible by Unlimited MetroCard. Complex? You bet. Difficult to produce? Unquestionably: Anthony takes us through all the design choices he had to make. Difficult to use? Impossible for me to say (I haven't even visited New York), but as Anthony points out, this map isn't for tourists; it's for frequent users. And no doubt it'll be yet another engagement in the ongoing New York Subway Map War. [CityLab]
A Forthcoming Map Art Book About New York City
Yesterday on her Facebook page, Katharine Harmon announced her next map art book: You Are Here: NYC: Mapping the Soul of the City is coming in November from Princeton Architectural Press. "It features 150 cartographic views of New York (which has to be the most-mapped city in the world)—including historical maps, cartoons, contemporary art, pictorial maps, hand-drawn maps, and more," Harmon writes. Based on her previous books, You Are Here: Personal Geographies and Other Maps of the Imagination (2004) and The Map as Art: Contemporary Artists Explore Cartography (2009), both of which I own, this will almost certainly be a book worth looking for. Pre-order at Amazon.

New York Subway Line Posters
Andrew Lynch has created posters of individual New York subway lines. Each poster contains ridership and historical data, and the lines are geographically accurate but are otherwise blank.
When I look at the subway map I always want to know where the lines really go. The VanMaps take this wish to a ridiculous extreme. A fully geographic map would be cluttered and difficult to read. I stripped that all away. All you have now is the essence, the subway itself and nothing else. In trying for the most geographic accuracy the map now becomes totally abstracted. The subway line exists on a blank plane. Totally accurate, totally useless. But damn does it look good.
