Using mandala tapestry pattern in your home can turn it into a beautiful home with its beautiful ethnic motif decoration. Combining supportive colors makes the mandala tapestry as one of the perfect accessories for your room.
If you're looking for the mandala inspirations, this article will give you some of beautiful decorations ideas with the mandala style. Let's find out how to apply this mandala idea nicely for a cool and beautiful home.
Decorating the house reflects your personality as the owner and it goes the same to decorating the living room. If your family room is quite small, you can add a simple tapestry to express the artistic side that you have. For you who love the bohemian style, the beautiful mandala tapestry will be a great choice.
Also, do not forget to sweeten your room with unique wall decoration. Adding LED lights as a decor can also emerge cheerful atmosphere in the small room.
Applying mandala motif on your house can make it more beautiful. One of them is by applying the mandala motif to a modern theme family room.
If the family room mostly features a modern theme, with a mandala motif as home decoration, the room will have distinctive characteristics that are different from other family room.
Make sure the size of this mandala motif looks proportional and does not collide with the existing eclectic style on the other furniture. This inspiration certainly convinces you further to apply the mandala tapestry as one of decorations that can match any interior.
Mandala sticker or wall art with mandala motif is one of decoration that is suitable for you who do not want to spend so much times arranging the decoration. Simply put it on the empty space in the living room or maybe behind the sofa.
Then, the mandala sticker will easily blend in with all of the themes, with the beauty of it still becomes the highlight. The motif and the color do not only look simpler, but also looks more modern. This mandala idea is absolutely cool, simple, modern and also convenience.
Play with mandala wallpaper so you can upgrade the appearance of a family room to super charming. The mandala motif can emerge the elegant impression of the room and it is far from the traditional look.
Because of mandala decoration, you do not need many decorations or add some other home decorations as the compliment. However, remember that if you want to use mandala wallpaper, make sure the furniture in the neutral color.
In this idea we are still playing on the wall as if it is your canvas and as the main decoration of the house. What you have to do is to paint the mural on wet cement walls. The motif and line of color should be so simple, so the chosen industrial style interior becomes more complete.
With a little of orange and yellow accents, the industrial style looks more elegant with the mural. Complete the wall decoration with minimalist furniture.
Another alternative to mandala decoration in the living room can be raised through the available main furniture. If you are applying a warm ethnic bohemian style, the family room should have a similar home decoration.
The mandala motif appears as a beautiful throw to adorn any large sofa. The color of mandala motif can make a family room dominated by monochromatic color look more alive. Complete this idea with soft yellow decorative lights to make the room more comfy for resting.
If you love a modern and dynamic room, you can still use mandala home decoration with style. You can design the family room with modern home decoration and use electric blue furniture. The key is to choose the furniture and decoration with a matching color palette.
One of the tricks to creating a comfortable family room, especially in the small one is by creating a family room with a special theme, for example, an antique theme. To apply this idea, place the mandala pattern beautifully on a fabric hanged right in the middle of the antique-style living room.
The color selection should be complementary, for example, red and dark brown that will give the impression of a classic, complement the antique style. In addition, sweeten the room with unique sofa cushions.
If you find the happiness when showing your own home decoration design, it's time to experiment with knitting decorations. For beautiful results, choose the main color as the focus of the decoration.
For example, choose two main colors like red and blue, which have been complemented with other colors as the accents.
To make the room more lively and warm, add a soft carpet as an additional home decoration. A carpet can make any room look spacious. If you choose a patterned rug, avoid putting too many decorations so it will not look full. You can also add small decorative plants too.
If you are more experimentalist and want something different, try home this mandala motif decorating tips. The idea comes along with a carpet that carries the ethnic theme but has a simple and modern monochrome color. For you who like Scandinavian interior style, you can also use this kind of carpet.
Well, after you know these beautiful mandala tapestry home decor ideas, do you become more interested to apply them at your home?

I've heard people say it. I've read it on blogs and articles.
"It's just a side issue." "It's not that important." "As long as you believe the words that Jesus said, you don't have to worry about that other stuff."
What side issue or unimportant thing or other stuff might these people be talking about?
Biblical Creation as described in Genesis.
Can someone be a Christian and not believe in the Genesis account of creation and the the worldwide flood? Absolutely. However, I am trying to persuade them with love and compelling evidences, there are close friends of mine that do not believe in the creation as described in Genesis.
If it's not required for salvation, why is it so important?
Public educators get the current generation of youth for about 30 hours a week. Nearly 100% of the science/worldview teaching is favorable or indoctrinating regarding the teaching of evolution. If today's youth spend 1-2 hours a week in Sunday school, are they getting enough information to counter the humanistic/materialist dogma of the atheists?
In the media, TV shows, internet, radio, etc...our youth are exposed to the poisonous attitude of our culture regarding the Bible. The most potent toxin in this poison is evolution.
When looking at the evidence with Biblical lenses rather than atheistic lenses, the creation account in Genesis is perfectly reasonable...in fact, likely. Likely? Can it be proven 100%?
That's where faith comes in (Hebrews 11:1). Faith in the reliability of God. Nothing in God's Word has ever proven to be false or wrong. The opposite is true...the more scientists/scholars learn and uncover, the more reliable God's word is proven to be.
Creation is not a side issue, because when our youth (and even adults) are not exposed to a Biblical worldview starting in Genesis and prepared for the atheist's attacks, they will be ripe for crashing hard and leaving the church forever.
All of observable science points to a Designer - not randomness.
Math and physics are free and clear, but the other subjects are consistently used to further the idea of an evolutionary materialism. IF you are interested in discussing further...post back, and I'll explain.
However, you have spoken rightly that many subjects are creation/evolution free, and I think you are particularly insightful to point out the parent's responsibilities in the education of their children.
Children are being indoctrinated in evolution at school (and through the media), and parents should take the time to discuss this topic, so that the kids can have a chance to recognize the difference between science and materialistic dogma.
I did not mean to give the impression that it's hopeless...my intent was to convey urgency. It is vital that we as parents, church leaders, and sentinel citizens not let this generation be lead astray by the mantra of scientific confirmation of evolutionary origins. ALL of the freedoms we now hold as precious are built on the foundations of these words: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Take the Creator out, and without this key cornerstone in the foundation, our freedoms are precariously balanced on empty hope and short-lived good will.
My intentions were also not meant to implicate all public school teachers in the the indoctrination efforts of the state. There are some fabulous school teachers and they deserve our support and prayers. Keep up the great work, super teachers!
As a Creation speaker, I give a presentation called Textbook Lies in which I show actualy images from public school textbooks and show how they indoctrinate kids into evolution. Would it interest you to know that English Lit and Math DO teach evolution? Math and science education are often cross-taught in textbooks. One example I give is how math texts will teach kids how to use a number line and then, as a project, ask kids to make an evolutionary timeline! In English it, kids are prepped for evolution by being taught that some people believe science has replaced mthological beliefs about our origins - after giving myths a definition that would include Biblical Creation.
Good stuff. We must continue to fight the heresies that are slowly creeping into the church. God's word is accurate and we can trust it completely.

Making A Murderer Review: Documentary Leaves You Wondering Who Really Did It
Entertainment / Reviews / TV / TV Show Reviews
By Jason Bouwmeester
Netflix's ten-part crime documentary Making a Murderer was released on December 18, and is generating a large amount of discussion on the Internet. After the Christmas holidays settled down, we had a chance to check it out and our (hopefully relatively spoiler free) Making a Murderer review takes a look at the latest documentary from the streaming service.
There's no doubt that Netflix has been hitting it out of the park lately with its original content, especially some of the series that have been running exclusively on the service as of late. As enjoyable as those are, I have to admit that Making a Murderer takes the cake so far. If you haven't seen it yet, stop reading and just go watch it. Trust me, it's that good — and if you're not convinced, check out the trailer below.
If you don't have Netflix, you can get a bigger taste of the series with the first episode below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34M2zdLc-2U
If you're still reading this, this true-crime documentary series was 10 years in the making. Filmmakers Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi first caught wind of the Steven Avery case back in 2005 while in film school at Columbia University. Shortly after they moved to Wisconsin to be closer to the trials and to make it easier to film the documentary. The series starts off briefly covering the conviction of Steven Avery, a Manitowoc County, Wisconsin man who was convicted of rape in 1985, only to be cleared by DNA evidence 18 years later in 2003. After filing a $36 million civil suit for wrongful incarceration in 2005, Avery soon found himself to be charged with the murder of Teresa Halbach, a photographer working for Auto Trader. In order to remain spoiler free, that's about all I'll say about the plot.
The first couple episodes deal with the initial rape conviction and subsequent civil lawsuit, while the latter part of the second episode and the remaining episodes deal with the disappearance and murder of Teresa Halbach and the trials of Steven Avery and his (then) 16 year old nephew, Brendan Dassey. Throughout the investigation and subsequent trials, twists and turns, and straight up negligence, coercion, and even ineptitude will cause you no shortage of screen rage. From the way the police conducted the investigation, to the interrogations of Brendan Dassey, to the actions of District Attorney Ken Kratz when speaking to the media will have you shaking your head in disbelief over and over again.
Of course this is a documentary, and there sometimes tends to be a bias towards one side or another — intended or not. Making a Murderer does a great job of trying to stick with the facts of the case, and fortunately the filmmakers had a treasure trove of footage to work with in addition to their own footage and interactions with members of the Avery family. While the filmmakers have been accused of leaving stuff out, or downplaying certain incidences, I do feel like the documentary is as impartial as it can be given the circumstances and what the filmmakers had to work with, while covering both the trial and how it affected the Avery family in particular. In the end, you'll most likely still be left wondering if the proper verdict was rendered or not, and you may just be left wondering who really murdered Teresa Halbach as well.
At the end of it all though, you may wonder just how fair the justice system is when you've been accused of a crime. Honestly, I hope I never face that situation of being falsely accused of a crime, especially after watching Making a Murderer.
The hardest part about watching the series, aside from the obvious ineptitude and gross negligence of certain members of the Manitowoc County police, is avoiding spoilers on the Internet. As more people complete the series, more theories, outrage, and other comments are quickly filling up the web. After you've watched it, you might want to head over and read this article at Buzzfeed in which the filmmakers respond to some of the gaps and criticisms in the series. And of course, where would we be without a Reddit thread about it?
Have you watched Making a Murderer yet? If so, let us know in the comments below what you thought. For those that haven't, I can't guarantee there won't be any spoilers in the comments, so "click to comment" at your own risk!
The documentary is well done, and feels pretty impartial. The editing and combination of trial footage, recorded calls, and footage shot by the filmmakers really puts you into the middle of the events as they happened.
As with any documentary, you do wonder what may have been left out. Trying to avoid Internet spoilers while binge watching the series.
Making a Murderer is a well done true crime documentary that will leave you scratching your head trying to figure out what exactly happened in the case of Steven Avery.

Eco-study warns Israel's open spaces will SHRINK as its population grows – and the settlement question is the elephant in the room
A new study says Israel will lose 10% of its open spaces by 2050 if high birth rates continue. The study recommends dense development and incentives for smaller families, but Israeli leaders have backed more controversial plans.
If Israel's current birth rates continue, the Jewish state's population will almost double by 2050, going from nine million to 17.6 million by the middle of the century. Given that the country's population density has quadrupled since the 1960s, and is on track to outstrip even the tightly-packed Netherlands in the coming years, this poses a problem for Israeli leaders.
"By 2065 Israel is slated to be the second-most crowded nation on earth," read an article in Haaretz earlier this year. "Can it continue to grow like Nigeria while maintaining a standard of living like the Netherlands?"
Also on rt.com
With growing international pro-Palestinian support, illegal settlers may drag Israel into a war it cannot handle
If a new study, reported on by Haaretz on Sunday, is to be believed, the answer is no. The study found that if Israel's population continues to grow as it is, the country will lose 10% of its open spaces to housing, infrastructure, and large-scale solar energy projects needed to sustain it. Even if fertility rates decline moderately, the study claims that the country will need to double the rate of new home construction by 2040-2050, and will still lose 2.3% of its open space.
The study was prepared by Tzafuf, the Israel Forum for Population, Environment and Society, and compiled by Alon Tal, a professor at Tel Aviv University and Knesset member for the centrist Blue and White political party.
To avoid environmental damage and protect Israel's nature reserves, Tal and his fellow scholars suggested some actions the Israeli government could take. These include paying economic incentives to small families, building denser housing in urban areas, banning single-family homes, and "avoiding the establishment of new communities."
However, these solutions focus specifically on Israel's own territory, when for decades the Jewish state has built settlements on the occupied lands that international law recognizes as Palestinian territory. Roughly 700,000 Israelis live in settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and another 20,000 or so live in the Golan Heights, seized from Syria during the 1967 Six Day War.
Torch-carrying Palestinians protest new Israeli settlement in West Bank (VIDEO)
Though the number of Israelis living in these settlements never came near the two million proposed by Ariel Sharon in the late 1970s, successive Israeli leaders backed their construction. Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu courted the right wing and Zionist voting blocs by promising in March to "continue to build in the land of Israel" – explicitly referring to settled land as Israeli territory. His successor, Naftali Bennett, will likely offer no departure from Netanyahu's position, and told the Knesset immediately after taking his post this month that he will "strengthen the settlements throughout the Land of Israel."
Bennett and Netanyahu both believe that 'Area C' – a large swath of the West Bank under Israeli control since the mid-1990s – rightfully belongs to Israel, while the international community is calling on it to abandon the aggressive settler policy and de-occupy the Palestinian lands. The calls have for years been falling on deaf ears.
Should the predictions of the latest study play out, whoever is in charge in Tel Aviv will likely face increasing pressure to expand settlement activity. How that will go down in Washington, where President Joe Biden has requested a "freeze" on settlement expansion, remains an open question, and one that just might bring the US' military, economic and political support for the Jewish state into question.
Yet all of that is hypothetical. For now at least, it remains highly unlikely that US-Israeli relations will suddenly get frosty, with the Biden administration and the new Israeli government now "building…mutual trust," as former Israeli ambassador to the US, Michael Oren, told AP in wake of a high-profile meeting in Rome on Sunday.
It was a pleasure to meet with Israeli Foreign Minister @yairlapid today in Rome. We discussed the strong partnership between Israel and the United States, our commitment to Israel's security, and our support for regional normalization efforts. pic.twitter.com/Kw8QjROeNE
— Secretary Antony Blinken (@SecBlinken) June 27, 2021
Speaking with Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken brought up the need to engage with Palestinians, but also declared that the US is fully committed to Israel's security. The actual uneasy talks, if there were any, are taking place behind the scenes as is customary with the Biden administration.
"I expect a change of tone rather than of substance... but there's a possibility that it could produce something better for Israel," former ambassador Oren said in summation.

Whom Did Cain Marry?
Whom Did Cain Marry? by Eva Mroczek
The book of Genesis tells us that Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel. After Cain kills Abel and settles in the land of Nod, we read that "Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch" (Gen 4:17). But where did Cain's wife come from?
Since Adam, Eve, and their sons are the only humans the Bible has mentioned so far, the sudden appearance of Cain's wife has troubled readers from ancient times to the present. This question even came up in the Scopes trial in 1925: Clarence Darrow asked his opponent, William Jennings Bryan, "Did you ever discover where Cain got his wife?" as a way to question the Bible's historical reliability. In answer to this, conservative readers point to a later verse, Gen 5:4, which states that Adam had "other sons and daughters," arguing that Cain's wife was his sister (or perhaps his niece) and that in the early days of humanity, marriage between brothers and sisters was both necessary and genetically safe.
Such "continuity problems" in the biblical plot cry out for explanation—if we expect the Bible to read like history in the modern sense. But these issues may not have troubled the Bible's earliest writers, who were composing a different kind of literature. The story of Adam, Eve, and their children is a legend of origins, not a historical chronicle. And some episodes in the early chapters of Genesis circulated separately, probably orally, before they were compiled into a continuous story.
But it is not only modern readers who try to fill in gaps in Genesis. Some ancient Jewish writers who retell the story mention that Adam and Eve had daughters early on and even give them names. The book of Jubilees, a second-century B.C.E. retelling of Genesis, calls Eve's daughter Awan; and the first-century C.E. writer Pseudo-Philo mentions a daughter named Noaba. It was common practice for early Jewish writers to supply names for female characters who were unnamed or outright missing in the biblical texts.
Later Jewish and Christian interpretations from the first few centuries of the Common Era are more elaborate. Some ancient readers speculated that there was more to Cain and Abel's rivalry than God's unexplained preference for Abel's sacrifice (Gen 4:4), suggesting that it was a fight over a woman—their sister—that let to the first murder. Jewish, Christian, and Muslim sources all transmit some version of this motif, but the details vary widely. Some ancient sources, for example, say Cain and Abel each had a twin sister but fought over who would marry the one who was more beautiful; others give Abel two sisters and Cain only one. The midrash takes this motif further, saying that Cain and Abel fought over three things: how to divide property, in whose territory the temple would be built, and who would marry the additional twin sister born with Abel (Genesis Rabbah XXII.VII).
These creative interpretations come from hundreds of years after Genesis was written down. They don't reveal anything about what the first biblical writers were thinking or, even less, about what actually happened early in humankind's history. But they do show the continued life of the biblical text in the hands of its interpreters: its gaps and silences become fertile ground for new traditions.

Eva Mroczek is assistant professor in the Department of Religious Studies and the Borns Jewish Studies Program at Indiana University. She studies Jewish literature from the Hellenistic and Roman periods, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, asking how early Jews imagined scripture and writing before the biblical canon was set. Her first book, The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity, is forthcoming from Oxford University Press in 2016.
The biblical story of Cain killing Abel raises questions about why Cain killed Abel, reflecting the concern of biblical law to determine the intentions and state of mind of a killer.

Patna air not poisonous, only PM 2.5 level poor: Report
Days after a report released by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Greenpeace included Patna in the list of worst polluted 20 cities across the globe, Patnaites can breathe a sigh of relief as a new report says that the air quality of Patna is not poisonous.
An assessment report on air quality of Patna was released by deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi at a national workshop on "Air pollution implication and way forward", here on Wednesday. It says that the particulate matter (PM) 2.5 level, i.e. the amount of dust in air is poor but it can be controlled with appropriate measures.
Pollution is generally measured by the presence of nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, sulphur dioxide and PM 2.5 level, etc. But the report released by WHO and Greenpeace is based on only PM 2.5 level that stands for particulate matter present in the air, the pollution board said.The parameters included PM 10, PM 2.5, Ozone (O3), Nitrogen Dioxide (No2), carbon monoxide (CO) and sulfur dioxide (SO2).
Interestingly, only the PM 2.5 level was found poor, very poor and moderate in some locations and the other elements like PM10, O3, NO2, CO and SO2 were found within the permissible limit and in no-risk and lowrisk stage proving that the air of Patna is not poisonous.

Gandhian thoughts and its relevance


WWE fans, welcome to the last round-up of the week.
Below is the latest information we could find on your sport. Pretty please take the time to read it, perhaps watch the video above if you want the news presented to you and leave thoughts and opinions in the comments box below.
Getting propelled into a turnbuckle, hit with a steel chair or maybe thrown off the roof of a cage. They're all things fans would expect to potentially cause injuries to pro-wrestlers.
Taking the trash out? Probably not so much. But that's exactly what happened to Randy Orton -according to new reports - who has had to pull out of the upcoming Hell in a Cell contest with a dislocated shoulder.
Yes, you did hear that right, Orton is believed to have been taking trash to the curb when his shoulder popped out of place.
Meanwhile, he hasn't even taken his sabbatical from the WWE yet but John Cena's return match is already being advertised.
The United States champion is being scripted as featuring on December 26 in New York's Madison Square Garden.
As of yet, though, it remains unclear whether or not he'll keep his belt for the duration of his absence from the organisation.
Rounding us off nicely, NXT offered another example of why it is rapidly garnering a reputation for being the most exciting wrestling show on the planet of late, with Samoa Joe turning heel last night.
The show's tapings on Thursday produced a truly memorable moment as Samoa Joe turned on Finn Balor shortly after the latter's title match with Apollo Crews.
The event had ended in a DQ as Baron Corbin came down the ramp to attack both Balor and Crews, but when Samoa Joe came out he proceeded to attack Balor after clearing the ring.


Well, the last of the medical tests have been performed, and they all look good. I'm basically a healthy old coot. The lesions on the kidneys are simple cysts, water sacs on the surface, common in people over 50. Blood and excretions are all normal. I'm stepping up the clonidine to thrice daily, because it was wearing off before the 12 hour point. So instead of the simple 10/10, it's 6/2/10. The increase is making me sleep a lot.
Roasted garlic baked potato soup w/ honey ham turned out well. I need to go get some more cheddar.

Get An Exclusive Look At The Weapons In Deathloop
Much like Arkane Studios' previous games, there are multiple ways to approach any given encounter in Deathloop, and the game's locker of unique equipment only helps to facilitate that. While we're not showing off every weapon from the game, the exclusive gameplay that you can watch above will give you a substantial glimpse into the arsenal that can be utilized when Deathloop releases later this year. You can look forward to seeing a slew of interesting weapons, including the Tribunàl, which is a teal pistol that looks like it belongs to your favorite James Bond villain.
While playing as Colt, you'll come across a myriad of cultish villains while dismembering the secret society that is keeping you from escaping the time loop, and you can use all sorts of weapons to do so. The Strelak 50-50, for instance, is a massive assault rifle that turns baddies to dust with its large magazine, while the PT-6 Spiker is not unlike a pressurized nailgun. The Fourpounder is a hand cannon that fires massive slugs with each shot. Each gun and gadget in Deathloop seems to be oozing with 1960s-inspired pizzazz, and I can't wait to get my hands on every one of them when the game releases later this year.
Not sure why you should be excited for Deathloop? Read this snippet from our cover reveal:
Arkane Studios is well-known for its love of systemic game design, which allows players to approach combat encounters and puzzles in myriad ways. Titles like Arx Fatalis, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, and Dishonored helped the studio build a sizable cult following, and now the team is taking its artistic approach to game design and building something new: Deathloop.
Set on the chilly island of Blackreef, Deathloop is a story about a secret society that invents an eternal timeloop. There is just one catch: Most of the people caught in the cycle don't have any memory of previous loops. Colt Vahn is the hapless hero who actually remembers everything that happens from one day to the next, and if he wants to escape this torment, he must assassinate the eight leaders of the program. Unfortunately, everyone on the island is also out to kill him.
If you enjoyed this exclusive gameplay video, be sure to watch our Rapid Fire interview with Deathloop's Game Director, Dinga Bakaba, wherein we ask him 80 rapid-fire questions about the inspirations behind the game and whether or not Groundhog Day is a better movie than Back To The Future. If you haven't yet, be sure to subscribe to the Game Informer YouTube channel so you don't miss the rest of our Deathloop cover story videos this month.

When to Book a National Park Camping Trip This Summer
Frozen Veggie Stir-Fry


Mesa Skyline students walked out and gathered at the football stadium's bleachers Wednesday morning before the start of school, as a sign of protest to the administration's firing last week of football coach Angelo Paffumi.
Tiffanie Akin, a mother of a player in the football program, said the walk out was done before school to make sure "the kids were on time (for classes), so no one got in trouble or caused problems."
"These parents and kids aren't going away," she said. "This isn't just about Paffumi. It's about all sports at Skyline."
Paffumi, who is remaining as a teacher at Skyline, said he went out to the stadium to meet the players and parents. He gave a speech and reiterated they get to class when the bell rang at 8:30.
"I went out there and said, 'You have to go about it the right way,' " Paffumi said. "About 400 kids and parents were there. It was a neat deal.
"It's been overwhelming (the support). I've had kids say they didn't have a lot of pride in themselves until they went through our program. It was about what it taught them. That's awesome."
Paffumi, who was head coach the past seven seasons at Skyline, went 54-25.
Tom Brennan, Skyline's principal, said in an email that "nearly all made it to class on time."
"No consequences were necessary, unless the student was tardy for first period," Brennan wrote. "In this case, he or she would have been sent to 'sweep,' which is our normal first period tardy protocol."
Last week, Brennan wrote in an email: "I released Angelo Paffumi as Skyline's head football coach. ... I appreciate Coach Paffumi's seven years of service to the Skyline Coyotes football program.

Q: How to always have a selected item in ion-select? I have an ion-select which can select multiple options and i am setting the first option as selected initially using below code:
<ion-select interface="popover" class="note-select-list-documents"
           [(ngModel)]="macroValues[ind]"
           [multiple]="question.IsMultiSelect">
     <ion-option *ngFor="let option of question.PickListOptions; let i = index"
            [selected]="i==0"
            [value]="option">{{option}}
      </ion-option>
</ion-select>

Now, initially one option will remain selected but user can deselect that options. But, i want that there will always be one item selected. If user have option selected, then user can deselect one but when one item is selected, user can not deselect it.
Is there any control on ion-select to achieve this scenario?

Drug cartels reportedly recruiting US teens, offer $1K per head to smuggle illegal immigrants
October 26, 2021 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton | Print Article
(Video Credit: Fox Business | Mornings with Maria)
Brazen Mexican drug cartels are recruiting American teenagers as young as 15-years-old via TikTok and are offering to pay them $1,000 per head to traffick illegal aliens from the border to Houston, Texas.
On Monday, "Mornings with Maria" host Maria Bartiromo shared exclusive photos of a pickup truck that was flipped into a culvert by a recruited teenager while transporting 13 illegal immigrants to Houston.
Photos presented by Bartiromo were posted on her Instagram page and then were shown on-air. They were given to her by Jackson County Sheriff A.J. Louderback, whose jurisdiction is located approximately two-thirds of the way from the Rio Grande to Houston.
"You have these teenagers with cars back and forth from the border to Houston all day long," she stated.
The lifestyle of vicious and violent cartels is glorified within the media app and teenagers are exploited as they're offered drugs, sex, fast cars, excitement, bling, and lots of money.
(Video Credit: 25 News KXXV)
This is occurring as another massive Central American migrant caravan is heading to our southern border. They just recently overran Mexican federal forces in their trek to the United States.
The Fox Business host also pointed out that President Biden falsely claimed that he had been to the Mexican border when cornered on the illegal immigration crisis. She reports the closest he came to the border was a stop in El Paso in 2008 where he was then driven to a campaign event in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Louderback is calling Biden's nonexistent border strategy the "Destroy America Plan," a takeoff on Biden's "Build Back Better" agenda. He remarked that his office and Texas DPS are overrun with cases of illegal aliens crossing the border and human trafficking.
He also noted that Biden is "empowering" cartels to hire teenagers to assist with their human smuggling. Teenagers are being focused on because they are the ones that are most likely to jump at making a lot of money fast without asking too many questions.
"Tell me who would be able to withstand that… [versus] working at Whataburger for minimum wage," Louderback remarked according to Fox Business.
The teen who flipped the truck into a ditch is now facing multiple charges including human smuggling for benefit which is a second-degree felony in Texas.
"Two of them in this truck were below 18 years of age. That's two more felonies there. You've got the evading, gross negligence, child endangerment, all these filed against this one juvenile," Louderback stated and then added that the driver was allegedly unlicensed. "I don't think it's enough to deter this kid from continuing as a cartel operative."
According to the AP, the cartels are also recruiting kids through contacts made on multiplayer online video games:
Ricardo Mejía, Mexico's assistant public safety secretary, said an apparent cartel recruiter had already bought bus tickets for three boys between the ages of 11 and 14.
He said the boys met the recruiter in the online game platform "Free Fire," also known as "Garena Free Fire." The recruiter promised the boys $200 per week to work in northern Mexico as drug cartel lookouts.
The boys were found before they could board the bus in the southern state of Oaxaca. Mejia said other cartels have operated in a similar way by contacting players through online games and game platform chats, including "Call of Duty," "Gears of War" and "Grand Theft Auto V."
The Network for Children's Rights in Mexico is reporting that between years 2000 and 2019 in Mexico 21,000 children under the age of 18 were murdered and 7,000 went missing.
The group estimates that approximately 30,000 youths had been recruited by drug gangs as of 2019.
Although recruiting via video games is now being reported in Mexico, it is highly probable that it will occur in the United States as well.

ADNOC, Masdar JV Launch First Carbon Capture Project
The project will allow the UAE to preserve its natural gas for domestic electricity generation.
Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and Masdar signed a joint venture on Sunday to explore and develop commercial-scale projects for carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) for the first time in the region.
ADNOC owns 51 per cent of the joint venture while Masdar owns the rest.
As a part of the venture, ADNOC and Masdar jointly awarded a Dhs450 million engineering, procurement and construction contract to Dodsal Group to build a carbon dioxide compression facility and a 50 km pipeline for its first CCUS project.
In the joint venture's first CCUS project, carbon dioxide will initially be captured onsite at the UAE's largest steelmaker's facility, Emirates Steel. It will be then compressed and transported along the 50 km pipeline to oil fields operated by ADNOC.
Carbon dioxide, which will be stored underground after being transported through the pipeline, will then be injected into oil fields to enhance recovery.
The project is set to be completed by 2016 and will sequester up to 800,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.
The joint venture is the first phase of an industrial-scale CCUS network planned as part of Abu Dhabi's efforts to decarbonize its economy and create a low-carbon power generation industry.
Carbon capture solutions are often cited as a critical strategy to reduce the impact of climate change.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), up to 20 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions will need to be mitigated by carbon, capture and storage projects in the power and industrial sectors by 2050.
To meet this goal, the IEA estimates that 100 carbon capture projects would have to be developed by 2020 and over 3,000 by 2050, requiring an investment of an estimated three trillion dollars by 2050.
"With energy demands surging to unprecedented levels, along with greenhouse gas emissions, the Middle East must adopt clean technologies, renewable energy and carbon mitigation solutions," said Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, CEO of Masdar.
"Through collaboration between ADNOC and Masdar, the UAE is developing a blueprint for how to incubate and establish a low-carbon, new-energy industry in the region."
The UAE has traditionally used hydrocarbon gases in some of the Abu Dhabi fields to enhance oil production. However, with the country's rising energy demand, the CCUS project will allow the UAE to preserve its natural gas for domestic electricity generation.

Very high quality sticker and great price. Thanks!
The item came packaged really well with a piece of hard plastic in the envelope so the sticker didn't bend. They also included two extra stickers that I didn't even order. I love all of them so much! Thank you!!!
We made a fresh batch of these great prints for an upcoming comiccon, they look so crisp!

Day of the Doodles - Genius or Evil Genius?
When a lifelong illustrator, historian and dungeon master marries a crafting mad scientist and signmaker, you get Day of the Doodles. A converted closet becomes a design studio, and suddenly every bit of bare wall space is used to hang wet screen prints. There is a method to the madness for sure, but it's more art than science.
Morgan and Erin Carmichael are a husband and wife team that enjoys making silly things, then selling those things to silly people both online and at various comic and fantasy conventions and local markets. They live in western NC with two wild cats and make all of their doodles, paintings, screen prints, stickers and signs by hand, one at a time, in their small closet workshop.
In late 2013 DotD went green, and no longer uses solvent-based inks or paints. With this change and a few others, DotD can recycle 95% of any workshop waste produced.
Their interests include being loud, being up late, comic books, general profanity, ramen, bad blues riffs sung at the cats, and river crawling.
Erin is a sign maker, painter and vinyl wizard. She holds a gold medal for 4H poultry judging. She has been fired from two unrelated jobs for being too loud. Erin is a workaholic, a great cook, a bad dancer, and Taco the cat loves her best.
Morgan is a gifted illustrator and sculptor, a fantastic storyteller, and dungeon master extraordinaire. Morgan is in possession of a mighty beard and a lust for croissants, and is getting pretty damn good at Rummy. Nacho the cat loves him best.
We try to keep things simple, if you have any questions about our work or policies please just let us know. We are happy to announce that DOTD is a green workshop, using post consumer recycled base materials and producing 100% recyclable waste. Our screen prints are produced using water based colorfast inks, and no emulsion or cleansing chemicals of any kind.
If your order is damaged in transit, we'll get you taken care of as best we can by way of replacement. If that is the case, just send a photo or two of the damage for my records and we'll go from there.
DOTD asks that if you ever do receive a replacement metal sign for one that has been damaged in transit, that you'll consider recycling the damaged sign, as it is 100% aluminum and easily recyclable.

We've found a lovely new cake - I'm sure it's no great for the figure but if you speak Italian - give it a go!
Playing Ludo, a photo by PhylB on Flickr.
It was raining so the kids decided to play ludo. I had to marvel at Léon's logic. He was playing just with Charlotte at that point. One of the purple men was missing. He wanted to be purple and Charlotte blue so obviously he had two solutions - either they could each play with three men, or he could take say green and play three purple and a green against her four blue. Oh no! That would be way too simple. I walked in in time to hear him explain that he would take three purple and a blue and she could have three blue and a red and he would just keep his eye on his blue one as it went round the board so as not to get it mixed up with any of hers! Mind boggling!
Wow - I thought the pink one was impressive. And I loved the metallic lilac but if I start seeing these on the roads, I'll simply have to buy one!
Outside, a photo by PhylB on Flickr.
I was saddened to hear yesterday that the iconic Glasgow Registry Office where Thomas and I married was shutting down.
It's sad to think no one else will have the same wonderful memories as we have and we'll never be able to take Amaia back and show her where it all happened, given she was the only one of the kids who wasn't present.
Park Circus was wonderful, meaningful and it a beautifully religion-free zone. It was intimate and spontaneous and everything I had hoped for.
Looks like the BBC liked it too!

Sure Lots is so silly - she sometimes wears shes trousers even when it is so sunny. Not like we - we wear wes dresses in the sun and wes wellies in the snow!
I know I need to start correcting her - but it's just so cute!
The scenario wasn't drastically different. I was about the same age, my baby was born the same week, albeit 16 years ago, weighing more or less the same, same gender... but he was born with something much more precious than that child down south. He was born with freedom... the freedom to be what he wants to be, to believe what he wants. He can marry who he wants, choose a job that interests him as a person, he can interrail round Europe and lie on a nudist beach and no one will care. He can be an atheist, or he can take on any religion that takes his fancy. He can fly round the world walking in any city that takes his fancy and see what it is really like. He will know when he makes a friend that that friend truly is interested in him and not his perceived status. He doesn't need to sign up for Big Brother unless he turns out to be an attention-seeking extrovert. He will not spend his entire life on a world-wide Big Brother.
This week I have heard two extremes - adoration, which I don't understand because he is just a baby, like every other one, and venom calling for the crowd of spongers to be thrown out. I feel neither... I feel pity because he was born with his whole life already decided, and to me freedom is a sad thing to exchange for these meaningless privileges.
You know mummy, she ventured, I just can't wait till I grow up to be a teenager so I can wear the kind of clothes that don't fit!
I must have looked blank or at least surprised because she elaborated: You know, teenagers like to wear t-shirts that are too small for them so you can see their belly buttons!
Oh my lord! This one is going to be a trendy little handful!
I got a bit of a fright today when I backed straight into this in the sea and got it tangled round my leg. Of course once I'd extracted myself it was too pretty not to photograph!
Troon for the second time in 7 days!, a photo by PhylB on Flickr.
I remember once as a child going to the coast with a friend from my primary school class. Her parents lived very near mine and some how I got invited along with her and her younger brother. I remember walking through long grass and over a small dune to reach the beach. I even remember yellow flowers. I have often wondered where that beach was but as the friend in question died last summer, I can no longer ask her. I had ruled out Ayr and Prestwick and I know it was nearby so I am beginning to suspect it was South beach at Troon. Although I have been to North beach at Troon a couple of times in recent years, I don't think I was ever on South beach till today so it's nice to finally put a name to a distant memory from the mid-70s at last.
Léon asked me today if we could buy this house in Troon if we win the lotto at the weekend! It looks about the right size for us... and I didn't have the heart to tell him I don't play it!
I know she's half Danish, half Scottish but Anna is in some ways a very German child. She'd live on German sausages and pretzels if you'd let her. It's a shame she's never met most of her German relatives. Although her grandfather is German, he spends most of his time in Denmark or Italy so she only ever visits him there which means she's only met two of his many, many siblings. Just imagining her touring round them all eating their food brings a smile to my face. I think they'd think she was a perfect little girl as she would happily taste everything they had on offer!
For more than 25 years I have dreamed of escaping Scotland because I find the climate thoroughly depressing.
The first couple of days of the holiday saw the thermometer hit a balmy 9 degrees. I was ready to jump off the nearest bridge and put myself out of my misery! A week later though it shot up to the high twenties and has been there ever since. We haven't had a single meal indoors in three weeks now and we're living the life I loved so much from my years in France, Italy and Germany. Thomas and I have been trying to take two days out of work a week to run the kids to the coast on day trips to compensate their non-holiday this year and my evenings after dinner are still spent in the garden.
I'm suddenly realising that the issue is all climate. What I miss living here is that outdoor life you have in continental Europe. Now we have that here I am completely content. I'm actually liking Scotland for the first time in living memory. I hate being locked away indoors, eating indoors with the kids going stir-crazy. It is so much nicer to sit in the garden with a glass of wine at 7pm listening to kids jumping and splashing in pools in every garden in the street.
Today I was wandering about Troon, even considering retiring there one day because it was so beautiful.
Of course, given this summer is probably a one-off since 1976, I will quickly find myself terribly disappointed and start planning my escape to Europe again, as soon as the normal weather returns. But in the meantime, it is definitely helping me cope with my current dearth of holiday.
A day-trip to Largs, a photo by PhylB on Flickr.
No one ever tells you at 18 that 45 year olds don't actually feel old! Nor do they point out that 45 year olds don't actually feel much different to how they felt at 18, because, after all, 18 was just yesterday, a blink ago. Of course, I have to hold my phone further from my eyes to be able to read it and when I catch my reflection in a full-length mirror I find it hard to recognize myself because my inner self has not caught up with my outer one yet! Deep down I am still the teenager who spent my carefree years Interrailing round Europe alone, freaking out my parents!
It is therefore with an almost daily sense of surprise that I find myself walking around in this large group of people, all created by me and calling me mum! I almost find myself looking over my shoulder to see who they are addressing as that - it couldn't be little me, could it? But somehow it is! It is a great privilege.
Happy gardener :-), a photo by PhylB on Flickr.
The first summer we moved to this house Thomas grew so many courgettes the kids began to wail at the sight of them. (I've since developed a soup recipe that uses them up for the kids). I was happy because I am a big fan of courgettes. I therefore made plans for my subsequent harvests. Summer of '09, '10, '11 and '12 saw a dismal yield of less than four courgettes in total. We tried the garden, the greenhouse but never managed to duplicate that first year. I was so hacked off with the Scottish climate dissolving my bloody courgettes that I had given up hope, but this year we seem to be on to a winner once again. There hasn't been so much rain they've disintegrated, it hasn't been so dull they haven't grown. We have conventional ones, round Tuscan ones, long yellow ones. We even have enough courgette flowers that we can sauté those! It is so exciting! If only every year was like this!
Am man and his beer, a photo by PhylB on Flickr.
I'm not usually one to blow my own trumpet but I have to say I was impressed with my wee Instagram of Thomas and his homebrew today. Look at those sun rays! It's positively tropical looking. It is an altogether strange summer with the in-laws in Tuscany complaining of rain and wearing jumpers to sit out at night, just as we are basking in the best summer I remember since I was eight.
For the first time since the summer of '85 we haven't booked a holiday - too much work in the summer coming after a winter of not enough has made holidaying a bit unlikely, at least before the autumn or winter. As I dragged my feet, depressed towards the summer school break-up, little did I know that Scotland was about to become a spectacular suntrap. We've been trying to take the kids to the coast a couple of times a week, so they don't feel left out, and it's been as hot down there as my many summers in Cannes and Nice. What an unexpectedly pleasant surprise! If we were to get stuck home for one summer, it looks like we chose the right one!
... or is it always like this and no one's ever mentioned it to me because I'm always out of the country???
Sprinkler fun, a photo by PhylB on Flickr.
Sometimes the simplest things in life leave the most lasting memories. I remember as if it was yesterday jumping through a neighbour's spinkler back in the summer of '76. Their daughter was three years younger than me but I remember playing with her most of the summer (secretly to gain access to their sprinkler!) I longed for my parents to buy one but they never did - they weren't into gardening and they saw it as a gardener's accessory. I've had one for years but it has generally been used to water my greenhouse while I'm on holiday but today my three youngest (plus four neighbours aged three to seven) spent hours running through it, squealing with joy. Just as I remember '76, I expect mine will remember July '13 when they are 45.
Parked on front of my house. .. Have I forgotten my birthday? !, a photo by PhylB on Flickr.
Someone has parked this in front of my house all afternoon - how thoughtless - I am sitting here drooling! Isn't it just beautiful? Léon and I found it when we went out to pick some wild flowers - if it is still there in the morning, I might just have to put it on my Xmas list!
Buchanan Street, a photo by PhylB on Flickr.
Charlotte is a complex person. She comes across as shy and indecisive, quiet and introvert but behind the soft exterior are nerves of steel.
It is exactly one week short of a year since she decided (completely unprompted by me or anyone else I hasten to add) to remove her father from her life. She cited the fact that they didn't get on and he had a tendency to treat her as if she was a mini-me. He assumed she'd instantly regret her decision and come crawling back, but he hadn't understood her at all. It seems she spent more than a year analysing the idea in her head and once she took her decision, it was completely irreversible in her mind. She has never been happier. She radiates calm and happiness and has done since that day. She's no longer tense and moody, instead she's become calm, witty, loving. Her every minute is spent enjoying her younger siblings, Amaia in particular from whom she is inseperable. She made absolutely the right decision for her and it is clear in every way.
Today she surprised me again. We were in town. The weather was beautiful and there was a holiday atmosphere around the street cafés. Suddenly, unprompted once again, she asked me: "Take a photo of me in front of the Buchanan Street sign for when I change my name!" And then she grabbed Léon playfully and added: "And you might as well be in it too 'cause yours needs changed as well!" I am so proud of my strong little girl.
Now there's an achievement! I was intending to take a photo of Lots making giant bubbles the other day, but I actually seem to have caught it at the instant the bubble burst. How cool is that?
I've been a Flickr member now for more than seven years, storing in excess of 48000 photos on their site. In general, I have been very happy with my flickr membership. However, a few months ago they changed their interface and on the surface it looks more modern. It now gives a collage of photos rather than just a page displaying each one boringly as before. I quite liked it at first but then I started trying to actually use it... Now it is driving me nutty.
Because they load every photo rather than giving you thumbnails when you click on a set or photostream, you waste inordinate amounts of time looking for anything and I sometimes find myself giving up and just looking elsewhere - through my home archives and the likes. I am now considering trying to migrate my thousands of photos elsewhere just so I can start accessing them again. I defintely think they need to introduce a speedier version or a classic view or a thumbnail search if they aren't going to lose a number of trusty users.
In the meantime, I am away to testdrive Picasa. I didn't like it seven years ago but maybe it has impoved.
I often think Amaia looks a little bit like a porcelain doll in photos. It's strange because she isn't particularly pale-skinned. Like all my kids, she has that continental darkness that means she never turns pink, just golden. Maybe it is the dark eyes, or the wispy hair... Whatever the reason, I think my baby is very beautiful!
I was looking for a photo of my family holiday to Wales in 1980 when I came across this old one of me at ten. It suddenly struck me how different today's childhoods are. I still have the red doll buggy on the right - they don't make toys like that any more! But it is Amaia who plays with it, both Léon and Anna have long abandoned it, as they are too old - at 5 and 7, but I was obviously happy to take it out in public at ten. The other interesting fact I can deduce from the photo is that three of us had gone alone to the park up at what is now Newton Mearns Asda. I can tell this from the three bears. The top blue one was mine, the bottom blue one Derek's and the pinkish one, if my memory serves me correctly, belonged to my good friend at the time, Karen Heenan. So two ten year olds and a seven year old were allowed to wander that far from home with their teddies in tow! I'm not saying my kids are having a terribly different childhood. I try not to wrap them in cotton wool and smother them. I let mine make coffee, and cook, chop things with knives, take buses alone, walk into school unaccompanied and so on but I am definitely in a minority. When I think back a few summers Charlotte probably did go alone to Asda once or twice at around that age, though not with a teddy, more likely with an ipod! But when I see how many parents refuse to let their kids out of their sight these days, I do fear for the generation to come, who will suddenly find themselves alone for the very first time, the day they leave home. How will they even begin to know how to make the right decisions in life if all they have known till then is trips accompanied by adults, organised play dates, class parties and after school activities such as swimming or gymnastics - all with their personal parental chauffeur?
Amaia used to be into Mickey Mouse - she's not watched him recently but she did go through a phase.
I presume a fox is to blame, but I really didn't need to find that on my neatly-cut grass. I'm hoping its head and leg aren't lying about somewhere I am intending to weed this weekend. Gulp.
Anyway, we decided to take it to the local vet and see if it had a chip in any of the remaining bits and if not assume that if it has been lost in the vicinity, the owner might ask there. I'll look out for any missing cat posters too over the coming days.


And guess who scored almost 20 points for the Cavs? Jeff Green … have you ever heard of him? Probably not, because he played instead of Kevin Love and he wanted to show how good he is, no problem with that, and good for him.
If you look at these numbers you clearly see the Cavs is a one man team, take LeBron out of there and you would get a team that wouldn't even reach the Playoffs anymore … e.g. JR Smith played 42 minutes and scored only 12 points (0 assists) …..
So why the NBA wants a one man team to advance?

Covid Instigates Higher Rate Of Suicides In Himachal, DGP Says Issue Needs To Be Addressed
All police stations of Himachal Pradesh, for the first time, have started recording the data of all the suicides from January 1, 2021. The highest number of suicides,136, happened in the biggest district Kangra.

Himachal Pradesh witnessed a shocking rise in the cases of suicides during the Covid period putting the total number of suicides during 2020-21 as per data compiled by the police department .
More than 600 suicides, 626 precisely happened in the state only during the past nine months while the earlier figures of last year's suicides had already crossed 700 cases.
Youths, especially in the age group of 18 to 35 years, are more prone to suicides while loss of livelihoods, jobs and marriage related matters are some of the dominant factors pushing the people to end their lives.The problem is more common among the males as compared to the females.
All police stations of Himachal Pradesh, for the first time, has started recording the data of all the suicides from January 1, 2021 in register no 27 . There are some startling facts about the reasons behind the suicides, admits Director General of Police Sanjay Kundu .
The highest number of suicides,136, happened in Kangra –which is the biggest district in the state followed by Sirmaur (66), Mandi (65) and Shimla (63) and Una (60) despite being a smallest district, yet bordering Punjab.
According to Dr Atul Fulzele, Inspector General of Police, state's CID wing has done a data analysis of the suicides cases to probe the compelling factors behind persons ,mostly youths ending their lives –few of these in a huff or without letting anyone have an inkling about their suicidal tendency .
"There are various factors and each case is different from the other ,both incase of the occupational factors, marital status or family problems .Yet , it has been found that stress and anxiety ,not alone related to the Covid ,but also family issues or financial bankruptcy has remained a dominant factor .It's not proper to blame it on the Covid or lockdown only " he maintains.
During the period 2015-2021, the police studies have found that youths in the age of 18 to 35 years is a highly vulnerable group also followed by the young house wives ,few leaving behind small kids .The labourers facing loss of their work and unemployed persons have also taken to suicides .
Last week ,a 19-yr old youth and aspirant of forest guard committed suicide in the heart of Shimla town by hanging himself in a private rented room.A youth in Kangra live-casted his suicide in Kangra district as he was alone at home for a long period with mother working at Baddi industrial area.
Dr Sanjay Pathak, noted psychologist and Chief Executive of State Mental Health Authority admits some rise in the cases of suicides in the state during the Covid times spanning past two years but claims that economic factors ,jobs losses or family tensions are quite understandable reasons behind these suicides but some people like former CBI director Ashwani Kumar or former Chairman of HP Public Service Commission Major General (Rtd) Chander Mohan Sharma committing suicide baffles all scientific studies .
"There are psychological and sociological factor triggering a mental state of a person to commit suicide .There is a need to address this issue delicately " he says .
Even the love affair failures among the youth also have resulted in the suicides ,either both or mainly the boy.
For the police, says the Director General of Police, the issue must be addressed at multiple levels of the state government's health and social welfare department .
" We have written to the state health secretary, Home secretary and secretary of the Women and Child welfare department asking them to recoganise suicide as a problem in the state and find effective solutions " says DGP Sanjay Kundu.
Bhanu Priya Verma , a search scholar working on Covid 's impact on youths says " Suicidal behaviors are often related to the feeling of anger associated with the stressful condition widely spread among people . Most importantly and not so unexpectedly, the psychological issues are bound to trigger the suicides among youths .Drug abuse is even a factor behind such cases as studies reveal"
