Camp Down, Portsdown Hill

[Camp Down, looking towards Bedhampton]

Camp Down, looking towards Bedhampton

Camp Down is a location at Portsdown Hill, Hampshire, near Farlington, which was used as an Admiralty semaphore station and later as a redoubt on the line of Palmerston Forts, Portsmouth.

The Admiralty Telegraph Station was built at Camp Down in 1821 and it operated on the semaphore line from London to Portsmouth from 1822 to 1847.

Farlington Redoubt was built on the site as a result of the 1859 Royal Commission, as part of a series of fortifications built to defend Portsmouth and its dockyard (which is 5 miles (8.0 km) away) from a possible attack from inland, as the development of rifled gun barrels made it possible for an invading army to land elsewhere, circle around to the top of the hill and bombard the city from there, rendering the existing Hilsea Lines at the bottom of the ridge useless. The redoubt formed the eastern limit of a series of 6 forts which were planned along the 7 miles (11 km) of the ridge.

The site is now quarried away.

Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D

The Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W series is a line of consumer-grade digital cameras designed to capture stereoscopic images that recreate the perception of 3D depth, having both still and video formats while retaining standard 2D still image and video modes. The cameras feature a pair of lenses (offset left-to-right by a baseline that approximates the distance between an average pair of human eyes), and an autostereoscopic display which directs pixels of the two offset images to the user's left and right eyes simultaneously. Methods are included for extending or contracting the stereoscopic baseline (the distance between the left and right images), albeit with an asynchronous timer or manually depressing the shutter twice. The dual-lens architecture also enables novel modes such as simultaneous near and far zoom capture of a 2D image. The remainder of the camera is similar to other compact digital cameras.

Marketplace

The W1 was the first digital stereo camera from a major manufacturer. The W1Panasonic, Toshiba, Sony, and other manufacturers have announced their intention to release a number of 3D-capable devices.

Hardware

The W1 has two lenses, each capturing color images at 10-megapixel resolution and each capable of 3x optical zoom (35mm - 105mm in 35mm camera equivalent). The color LCD on the rear of the camera measures 2.8" diagonal, with 0.23 megapixels. It can be electronically switched between normal display and autostereoscopic display. The two lenses can also be used to take two simultaneous shots of the same scene with different settings (zoom, ISO, etc.).

In August 2010, Fujifilm announced the W3, a new stereoscopic 3D compact point-and-shoot camera with the ability to capture 3D images and videos, the follow-up to the first-of-its-kind W1 with similar specs and design. The W3 features higher resolution (720p) and better nighttime performance as well as a better integrated autostereoscopic display. The image result is better than Panasonic's 3D add-on which uses two lenses, but feeds the offset image to a single sensor, so the resolution gets chopped in half, then stretched back to its full-width after the processor creates 3D effect.

Initial adjustment

Initial adjustment

W3 with wrong vertical parallax

One of the initial adjustment overlooked by many new users is the lenses vertical parallax, that must not be confused with the horizontal parallax (set manually by the left rocker button). Although the lenses should be perfectly aligned, by design, there is a small vertical axis error inherent for each camera body. This error implies that all pictures (and videos as well) taken with a wrong vertical parallax are harder to look at, because one eye is looking up while the other is looking down. To effectively correct this optical discrepancy, the camera offers a vertical parallax correction in its menu system: MENU/SET/OPT AXIS CONTROL. The best way to use this adjustment is to zoom at maximum, take a picture, then analyse it with a software stereoscopic player(using row or column interlaced view) to obtain the subject at the same vertical level.

File formats

Images are captured as pairs of still images, and are saved as Multi Picture Object (MPO) files, or an MPO file plus a JPEG file. This MPO file is basically two JPEG files joined together,

The MPO file format is a new file format which, though not proprietary, is not yet widely supported. It is supported by the free software image viewer Geeqie, as well as the freeware stereo photo-editing program Stereo Photo Maker (Windows), the free photo management program Daminion (Windows), the commercial program STOIK Imagic (Windows) and the shareware programs Stereomerger (Windows and Macintosh), Anaglyph Workshop (Windows and Macintosh) and MPO3DViewer (Macintosh). GoPro Cineform's Neo3D also now supports the Fuji video format. Neo3D converts clips into various formats including anaglyph and the "half side-by-side" required by YouTube and 3D TVs. The clips can then be joined etc. by most video editors and viewed on various stereo displays. Neo3D can be tried for 15 days.

Model W3

Encouraged by the reception of the W1, Fuji released a new model, the W3, in September 2010.


Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D

The W3 has a slightly smaller stereo base and the left lens is slightly further from the left edge of the camera, thus partially addressing two common complaints about the design of the W1. The W3 is also smaller and lighter and uses the smaller and lighter NP50 battery rather than the NP95 battery used by the W1.

The user interface is much easier to use with a ring selector similar to other compact digital cameras. The zoom control is in the form of a ring surrounding the shutter button, with the parallax control now in the form of a slider on top of the camera. 2D/3D selection is through a single button, as is the video mode.

A single button also selects play mode, for viewing pictures and videos. This can turn the camera on and off without the need to open and close the front lens cover. The sliding lens cover is similar to the W1 cover but is enhanced by a projection that makes opening and closing it easier.

The auto stereoscopic display has 3 times the resolution and is larger, with a 16:9 aspect ratio. It is also somewhat brighter. Both still and video modes default to 16:9, but the same 4:3 sensors are used as in the W1 so in 16:9 mode is actually 7.2 megapixels (3584x2016) vs 10 megapixels (3648x2736) in 4:3 mode. Video mode now defaults to 720p (1280x720 @24 frame/s) but can also do 640x480@30 frame/s and 320x240@30 frame/s.

Fuji reports that sales of the W3 have been going well, with 100,000 units selling in 2010 and 500,000 expected by September 2011.Stereo Realist and will probably make it the best selling stereo camera to date. The improvements in the design as well as the lower price, $499 USD suggested retail with street prices typically $300–$350 USD, along with the wider distribution channel have certainly helped sales.

Samples

One of the criticisms of the Fuji W1 is the wide interocular spacing (77 mm) which would normally make closeups such as this cake unviewable. However, it is possible by backing off from the subject and using the 3X optical zoom to compensate for the wide interocular and take some decent closeup stereo shots.

3D in outer space

In December 2010 via the Russian spacecraft Soyuz on the mission Soyuz TMA-20, a European Space Agency astronaut brought the Fujifilm FinePix REAL 3D W1 aboard the International Space Station. The 3D anaglyph images have been uploaded to Flickr.

Displaying

V digital photo frame series

In addition to the camera, Fuji also sold the Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D V1 digital photo frame capable for displaying stereoscopic images, typically those captured on the camera.

The product was launched in July 2009.parallax-barrier autostereoscopic SVGA (2 channels × 400×600 pixels) display allows viewing of a stereoscopic image with the naked eye, and in full color. However, the technology is significantly less clear to view than that on the W1 camera.

Fujifilm introduced the FinePix Real 3D V3 photo frame with improved specifications in November 2011.

Printing service

Fuji also offered a stereoscopic printing service via mail until January 2016.

Chapter of Toledo

The Chapter of Toledo is a meeting of the heads of the different provinces of the Order of Saint Augustine in Toledo, Spain in 1589. This meeting is considered an important part of the history of the order because this gave birth to the so-called Augustinian Recollection, through the so-called “Fifth Determination”.

Today, both the Order of Augustinian Recollects and the Order of Discalced Augustinians trace their beginnings from the fifth determination which says:

Since there is among us, or at least maybe, some who have greater love for monastic perfection and want to follow a more austere plan of life, we ought to favour their legitimate desire by not placing obstacles to the Holy Spirit; having previously consulted our most Reverend Father General and implored his leave, we determine that in our Province three or more monasteries of men and as many of women be designated or established; in them a more austere kind of life is to be practised; its manner is to be regulated, after mature reflection, by the Father Provincial with his definitorum.

Abe Masanori

In this Japanese name, the surname is Abe.

Abe Masanori (阿部正権, February 26, 1806 – November 8, 1823) was the ninth Abe daimyō of Oshi Domain in Musashi Province (modern-day Saitama Prefecture) and the first Abe daimyō of Shirakawa Domain in southern Mutsu Province (modern Fukushima Prefecture).

Masanori was born as the second son of Abe Masayoshi, daimyō of Oshi Domain. His childhood name was Kanemaru (銕 丸). When he was three years old, his father died and Masanori became heir and chieftain of his branch of the Abe clan. However, since Masanori was under age and also of feeble constitution, his mother took over the administration of the domain and Masanori was placed under the guardianship of Abe Masakiyo, daimyō of Fukuyama Domain in Bingo Province.

In 1822, the Tokugawa shogunate issued a decree rotating the daimyō of Oshi, Kuwana and Shirakawa Domains. The Abe clan, which had been administering Oshi for 114 years, was forced to relocate to Shirakawa. In the midst of this move, Masanori died. Since he died, without having ever been formally received in audience by the Shōgun, he was never awarded a formal court rank or courtesy title. The succession passed to his cousin Abe Masaatsu.

Camp Defiance

Camp Defiance was a military encampment in eastern Kansas, U.S., during 1861–1862. In December 1861, the town of Potosi, Kansas, along the Kansas-Missouri border, was attacked by Confederate guerrillas. Very soon Col. James Montgomery stationed the Kansas 3rd Regiment about 4 miles (6 km) to the northeast.

Background

The new camp, named Camp Defiance, was established December 17. Camp Defiance was located on the south side of Mine Creek and just barely inside the Kansas border.

Mine Creek provided a natural defense on the camp's north side, as neither man nor horse could have negotiated the water and steep bank. Today the site is heavily wooded and it had at least some timber when it was used.

Dr. Joseph H. Trego, stationed at Camp Defiance, said the camp had a mill and 7,000 board feet (20 m3) of lumber was used to construct stables, mess tables and floors for tents. Very few structures were built and the men stayed in tents. Instead of having a guardhouse, the post had a guard tent.

The camp possibly had more than 2,500 men, as many men from the Lane Brigade were present. Discipline was a major problem at Camp Defiance, as men from the Lane Brigade were in trouble with civilians wherever they went. Trago and John Francis documented numerous problems. Unauthorized absences, vandalism, drunkenness and attempted murder were all documented.

Many of the men in camp were ill and some of the troops were short of tents, clothing, arms and other supplies. In March it was decided to abandon Camp Defiance. The last troops left on March 20 or possibly a bit later.

A Walk Across the Sun

A Walk Across the Sun is a 2012 novel by Corban Addison. It covers the topics of human trafficking, exploitation, and the impact that culture can play on individual relationships and the way society reacts to disparities and injustice.

Plot

The novel follows two narratives; the first is the story of orphaned teenage sisters Ahalya and Sita. The siblings formerly lived near the coast of Chennai with their family, but decide to go live in a convent after a tsunami leaves them homeless and orphaned. A friend of their dead father offers to take them safely; however, he betrays them and takes them to a trafficker who sells them to a brothel in Mumbai. Ahalya agrees to sleep with the clients at the brothel to protect her younger sister from having to suffer the same fate and allows the son of the brothel owner to sleep with her almost every night. The sisters are disheartened and discouraged; a woman in the brothel tells them that this is their karma and they need to accept it, not fight it.

The second narrative of the novel follows a lawyer named Thomas, who lives in the United States. Thomas is at a low point in both his career and home life. He and his wife Priya have divorced after the death of their firstborn to SIDs. Walking in a park one day, Thomas witnesses a kidnapping and attempts to chase the kidnappers, but he is unable to catch up and the kidnappers get away. This, along with the state of his life, motivates him to take some time off of work and go to Mumbai to help out in an anti-exploitation organization, CASE.


A Walk Across the Sun

Back in India, the sisters are separated when Sita is purchased in order to transport drugs from India to France. She is forced to be a drug mule and swallow drugs wrapped in condoms and board a plane to Paris. Once there, the drugs are retrieved and Sita is put to work without pay in a restaurant, where the owners of the establishment treat her poorly. Ahalya is rescued by Thomas and CASE after the organization discovers and raids the brothel, freeing the workers. She is sent to live in a convent, while Thomas vows to find Sita. During his work he discovers that his ex-wife is also in India, living with her family. He manages to extract a confession from the brothel owner as to Sita's whereabouts and travels to Paris, only to discover that Sita has been moved once again; she is now living in forced domestic servitude to a wealthy family who mistreats her. Sita attempts to escape, only to be recaptured and once again trafficked.

Thomas manages to track Sita to the wealthy family but only barely misses meeting her, as he catches a glimpse of her in a vehicle as it speeds off. He learns that Sita is being sent the United States and informs the FBI. In the United States, Sita has a difficult time adapting to American culture and to the demands forced upon her by her traffickers. She is forced to pose for porn but is able to avoid being raped by her captors. Her images are discovered on the dark web and the FBI manages to match Sita’s face to a picture. Thomas is able to successfully rescue Sita and reunites the two sisters. He also reconciles with Priya; the two remarry and are soon expecting another child as Thomas continues his work with CASE.

Development

Addison based the fictional institution of CASE on the human rights organization International Justice Mission (JIM). The organization assisted Addison in visiting brothels and other places of exploitation in India, which inspired him to write the book. In the afterword Addison states that raising awareness of modern-day slavery and human trafficking can help abolish modern slavery, and invites readers to support an abolitionist cause or using their skills to help combat human trafficking.

Publication

A Walk Across the Sun was first published in hardback on January 3, 2012 through SilverOak, alongside an ebook edition and audiobook narrated by Soneela Nankani.


A Walk Across the Sun

Reception

Publishers Weekly and the New York Journal of Books reviewed the novel, the latter of which stated that "Providing a treasure chest of prose, culture, nuance, insight, despair, and hope, A Walk Across the Sun is the kind of literature that should be celebrated and honored."The Christian Science Monitor also reviewed the work, criticizing the sub-plot of Thomas and Priya's marriage while praising Addison for his research on the slave trade and sexual trafficking.The Harvard Crimson was critical of the work, noting that while it was an "effective exploration of exploitation" the characters were all stock and the "coincidental events seem overly artificial and undermine the realism of experience."

Chowchilla River

The Chowchilla River is a river in central California, United States and a minor tributary of the San Joaquin River. It flows for 54.2 miles (87.2 km) from the western side of the Sierra Nevada Range to the San Joaquin River system in the San Joaquin Valley.

Most of the lower half of the river forms the border between Merced and Madera County.

Course

The river begins as three separate forks in southern Mariposa County.

West Fork

The West Fork (officially known as West Fork Chowchilla River) is formed by the confluence of Jones Creek and Snow Creek, north of the town of Bootjack, California. It flows roughly south from Bootjack, receiving Pegleg Creek, Humbug Creek, Italian Creek and Blade Creek before converging with the Middle Fork.

Middle Fork

The Middle Fork (officially known as Middle Fork Chowchilla River) is formed by the confluence of Magoon Creek and Fox Creek, on the east side of Magoon Hill in the Sierra Nevada. It flows roughly south along the west side of Stumpfield Mountain, receiving a few unnamed tributaries, before converging with the West Fork.

East Fork

The East Fork (officially known as East Fork Chowchilla River) is the longest of the three forks and is formed by the confluence of several small, unnamed streams on the south side of Chowchilla Mountain, in the Sierra National Forest. It flows roughly south past the locality of Harris Ranch, receiving Oliver Creek and several other small, unnamed tributaries along the way. It converges with the West Fork south of Bailey Flats, and a few miles south of where the Middle and West Forks converge.

Main river

The Chowchilla River begins in name at the point where the West and East forks converge and flows southwest to Eastman Lake. The lake, which holds 150,000 acre⋅ft (190,000 dam3) of water from the Chowchilla, was created in 1975 by the construction of Buchanan Dam, an earth and rockfill structure which is 205 by 1,800 ft (62 by 549 m). The lake and dam's primary purpose is flood control and irrigation. In the summer months, Eastman Lake is a popular boating, fishing, camping and hiking destination for residents of the Madera and Chowchilla areas.


Chowchilla River

Below Eastman Lake, the river continues roughly west, past the City of Chowchilla, to the San Joaquin River System.

Lower river

Seven miles downstream of Eastman Lake, the Chowchilla's water is diverted into both the Berenda and Ash sloughs, with excess water continuing down the main river channel. The river flows west-southwest for most of the rest of the journey before flowing west in the last few miles. The last 2 mi (3.2 km) of the river doubles as an irrigation canal for farms located along its banks.

The main river channel ends abruptly about 3 mi (4.8 km) east of the San Joaquin River. The river has never had a defined natural outlet to the San Joaquin, as evidenced by the fact that the riverbed shrinks considerably in size as it travels west. A natural outlet never existed because the river only has a seasonal flow, and natural water flow would normally dry up before it had a chance to reach the San Joaquin. In rare years of torrential rains, there would still be water in the river at the end of the riverbed, at which point the water would simply flood the area past the end of the riverbed. Those floodwaters would eventually find their way into the San Joaquin River.

As part of the Lower San Joaquin River Flood Control Project, a diversion canal was built to connect the end of the riverbed with the Eastside Bypass, allowing the Chowchilla's water a controlled outlet to the San Joaquin River during years of heavy rains.

The Chowchilla River serves at the outlet of the Madera Canal.

Tributaries

In addition to many small unnamed streams, the Chowchilla River receives the water from the following streams:

  * Rock Creek
  * Willow Creek
  * Split Rock Creek
  * Cow Creek

Towns

Towns along the Chowchilla River include:

  * Harris Ranch (Unincorporated)
  * Bootjack (Unincorporated)
  * Raymond (Unincorporated)
  * Chowchilla

A Wagner Matinee

"A Wagner Matinee" is a short story by Willa Cather. It was first published in Everybody's Magazine in February 1904.The Troll Garden.

Plot summary

A young Bostonian named Clark receives word that his Aunt Georgiana is coming to visit from Nebraska to settle an estate. As a young woman, Georgiana had been a talented music teacher at the Boston Conservatory until, during a trip to the Green Mountains, she met Howard Carpenter, ten years her junior. They eloped and moved to a homestead in Nebraska.

Thirty years have passed since Georgiana has seen Boston. Clark recalls her kindness to him when, as a boy, he visited Nebraska and she introduced him to Shakespeare, classical mythology, and the music she played on her small parlour organ.

Clark takes his aunt to a symphony concert of music from Richard Wagner's Tannhauser, Tristan und Isolde, and The Flying Dutchman. She is intensely moved by the music and listens with tears running down her face. When the concert ends she says, "I don't want to go, Clark, I don't want to go!"

Clark realizes that she has nothing ahead of her but the grim drudgery of life back on the Nebraskan plains.

Setting

The story takes place in Boston, but Clark, the narrator, describes Nebraska in detail.

Characters

Five Stone Arch Bridges, Hillsborough, New Hampshire

Carr Bridge in 1936

Gleason Falls Bridge in 1936

Gleason Falls Road Bridge in 2016

Five Stone Arch Bridges is a cluster of stone arch bridges in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, United States that have been designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

History

The stone arch bridges were built during the 19th century, when there was a need for sturdier construction to replace weaker wooden bridges. The design required exceptional skill by stonecutters. Each stone had to fit just right. At one time there were twelve stone arch bridges in Hillsborough.

Fred Rhyner, a member of the ASCE New Hampshire Section and a vice president at Haley & Aldrich Engineering in Manchester, filed the nomination application for the historic landmark. His interest in the remarkable cluster of stone arch bridges began while he was working on a New Hampshire DOT bridge project on the Second New Hampshire Turnpike in 1996. It took three years to gather all the information together. The application was filed in 1999.

The Hillsborough town website states that the arch bridge near U.S. Route 202 (Sawyer Bridge) "is going to become the focal point of a public park,"

Akashi Castle

Matsudaira Yoshinori

Akashi Domain (明石藩, Akashi-han) was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan, located in Harima Province in what is now the southern portion of modern-day Hyōgo Prefecture. It was centered around Akashi Castle, which is located in what is now the city of Akashi, Hyōgo.

History

At the start of the Edo period, the area around Akashi was part of the vast holdings of the Ikeda clan of Himeji Domain. In 1617, Ikeda Mitsumasa was transferred to Tottori Domain and his former estates were divided. Ogasawara Tadazane, the son-in-law of Matsudaira Nobuyasu received a 100,000 koku portion, which formed Akashi Domain, and he was ordered to construct a castle. Akashi Castle was located on a strategic location controlling the San'yōdō highway, which connected the Kinai region with western Japan and was also the main route north to Tanba and Tango Provinces. It was also located very near the coast of the Seto Inland Sea, overlooking the narrows to the island of Awaji island. Considered by the Tokugawa shogunate to be a backup to Himeji Castle, Akashi Castle was the final line to defend Kansai region against any attack from the west.


Akashi Domain

The Ogasawara clan were transferred to Kokura Domain in 1632, and due to the strategic nature of the domain, it was reassigned only to trusted cadet branches of fudai daimyō clans: the Toda-Matsudaira, Okubo clan, Fujii-Matsudaira clan and the Honda clan. After Honda Masatoshi was demoted for poor governance in 1682, the domain was entrusted to a Shinpan clan: the Echizen-Matsudaira, formerly of Ono Domain, which retained it to the Meiji restoration. The 8th daimyō, Matsudaira Narikoto , was an adopted heir and was born the 25th son of Shogun Tokugawa Ienari. As an indication of his status, the domain was increased in kokudaka from 60,000 to 80,000 koku and was given administrative control over an additional 20,000 koku of tenryō lands. However, this was not enough to offset the vast outlay of funds which the domain had been forced to pay the shogunate for the "privilege" of having the son of a Shogun as heir, and the domain faced financial difficulties. In the Bakumatsu period, the domain was ordered by the shogunate to construct twelve artillery batteries for coastal defense, and also to provide troops to man the defenses of Edo at Shinagawa and along the coast of Sagami Province. The domain also provided troops for the First Chōshū expedition in 1864 and Second Chōshū expedition in 1866. However at the start of the Boshin War, as Matsudaira Yoshinori was leading his armies in support of Tokugawa forces at the Battle of Toba-Fushimi, he received word that the Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu had abandoned his army and had fled Osaka by ship back to Edo. He decided to return to Akashi without combat and soon after defected to the Meiji government. His forces were ordered to fight in the Boshin War as part of the rear guard against Himeji Domain and in Echigo Province.

In 1871, with the abolition of the han system, Akashi Domain became Akashi Prefecture, and was incorporated into Hyōgo prefecture via Himeji Prefecture and Shikama Prefecture. The Echizen Matsudaira family became a viscount in the kazoku peerage system in 1884.

Unlike most domains in the han system, which consisted of several discontinuous territories calculated to provide the assigned kokudaka, based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields, Akashi Domain was a single unified holding.

Family Drive-In Theatre

Family Drive-In Theatre in Stephens City, Virginia

The Family Drive-In Theatre is an outdoor cinema located at 5890 Valley Pike (U.S. 11) one mile south of Stephens City, Virginia. The family-owned business opened in 1956 and is one of the state's few remaining drive-in theaters.

History

The Family Drive-In was built by William F. Dalke Jr. and opened on June 14, 1956. It was one of eight drive-in theaters within a 20 miles (32 km) radius at the time of its construction.Vietnam War.

Each parking spot has a speaker that can be attached to the side of the vehicle.

Since 2009, manager James Kopp, a self-professed "drive-in nut" and former Library of Congress employee, has leased Family Drive-In from Tim Dalke. Kopp sits on the board of the United Drive-in Theatre Owners Association. He works with a booking agent to get bargains on popular films. Second-run films were previously shown on both screens because they were cheaper to rent, but Family Drive-In now shows first-run movies in order to compete with standard theaters. Additional changes made by Kopp included hiring additional staff, expanding the theater's presence on social media, extending the operating season, and allowing customers to pay with credit cards.

Since film companies no longer offer many titles on 35 mm film, independent theaters like Family Drive-In face expensive upgrades to continue playing new digital films. Customers and the surrounding community donated $21,000 to help the theater, allowing Kopp to make a down payment to purchase new equipment. The two new Christie projectors cost around $120,000. The brightness and clarity from the new projectors allow customers to see details in films that weren't previously visible. Following the conversion, Family Drive-In was featured in a story by NBC Nightly News dealing with drive-ins having to choose between old and new ways of showing films. On Labor Day weekend in 2013, the theater began playing digitally projected movies in a special dusk until dawn event. The event was organized to thank patrons for their donations in purchasing the new equipment.

Family Drive-In also hosts special events like Civil War film nights, an annual Halloween Costume Party and Trunk-or-Treat, and a car show featuring classic vehicles and 1950s themed movies.Lexington.
