Metaverse real estate is now trading in cryptocurrency
Metaverse is starting to heat up. Not hot, like a delicious meal or a Finnish sauna. This fantasy world is heating up like a real estate market. Because lately, it's one.
If you have enough money and courage, you can now buy digital tracts in metaverse. Of course, there is no single metaverse. Just as a website is part of the World Wide Web, there are countless companies, including Meta (née Facebook), building their own site that hopes people will soon gather as their digital avatars to play, shop, and chat. and marketing. The emerging market of these three real-world venues – including everything from concert venues and venues to homes and monuments – is looking forward to a future where digital landowners can work with brands that want to be present in a variety of venues. metaverse.
One of the first companies to enter the digital business is the Metaverse Group, which operates worldwide called Decentraland. Last week, parent company Metaverse Group, Sign.com, announced that "116 parcel estate in the heart of the Fashion Street district in Decentraland" sold for about $ 2.5 million – two! The new owner of the site near Fashion Street could benefit if Louis Vuitton wanted to open a store there: They could own the brand.

The Decentraland agreement did not include real money. 618,000 digital assets for sale, a type of cryptocurrency used in Decentraland. When you say it out loud, "manna" sounds like the first two syllables of "Monopoly Money."
"Imagine if you came to New York when it was a field, and you would have had a chance to find SoHo," said Metaverse Group co-founder Michael Gord. recently told a New York Times. "If anyone wants to buy a home in SoHo today, it is expensive, it is not in the market. The same thing will happen in difficult places."
All of this probably sounds a little twisted. Who would pay the ultimate price for freedom in a part of the real world that has never existed and will never exist again? Well, if you have been paying attention to the NFT craze or cryptocurrency boom in recent years, a lot of people. is pouring millions of dollars into the digital economy and the hope that some may be willing to pay a higher price in the future. This gradual takeover of the land is taking place in a similar way. What makes metaverse real estate so popular is the idea that once you own a digital property, you can make money by renting or selling ads.
Users can travel to Decentraland to find stores and events. They can also buy property and build their own.
In its most basic form, the concept of a metaverse is not very different from early internet days. Beginning in the late 80s, the well-known online language (HTML) enabled people to create websites that contain content or provide services to users, and in the end, when pages are attracted to these users, owners can sell ads or pay for it. total income. The big difference, of course, is that the internet was designed to be free while the metaverse seems to belong to big companies. Before announcing that Facebook would change its name to Meta, for example, Mark Zuckerberg told the bankers that the company expects to spend more than $ 10 billion on its major operations this year alone. It is difficult for anyone to compete with such funds.
However, many companies are experimenting. In addition to Decentraland, you can purchase digital sites in metaverse with names like Dreams Place, Sandbox, and Upland. The company has a call Spotselfie, which currently uses the extension software, allows you to purchase real-time GPS coordinates in the real world via a new feature called Spotland. The idea is that by using the tokens provided by Spotselfie – these are crypto currencies that are closely related to this, similar to the manna used in Decentraland – you will buy the freedom to navigate around GPS locations, and then if Spotselfie decides to sell. ads on site, you cut. The main difference here is that the Spotselfie model is designed for real reality, not real reality. To see this change, you simply point your phone's camera at a specific location, and the Spotland app covers the digital world on your screen, ads and everything.
This could be the future. If so mixed glass becomes an object – Some experts think Apple will release their brand in 2022 – We can be on the move and watch the big bang in real and digital world. And while many companies are insisting on saying what they want, it is still unknown who will own the site. Spotselfie co-founder Ray Shingler, for one reason, hopes that by giving users the opportunity to shop now, his expertise will bring some of the spirit of democracy, web 1.0 to met.
"I'm trying to find a way," Shingler told Recode, "where users get something for being in the app, and they control what happens, because if you don't fix it soon, it will be lost on Facebook, or lost to Gemini Brothers who recently received $ 400 million in providing funding for metaverse projects.)
Then again, Mark Zuckerberg could be wrong about metaverse. It is quite possible that not many people want to travel around the world, meet other avatars and buy NFT and cryptocurrency. Perhaps we do not want to live in an infinite environment filled with advertisements and designed to follow our practices in ways we have not yet considered.
But if metaverse is a 21st century online solution, you can buy your share here. Hurry, though. The market is very hot.

Former Saint Brandin Cooks says 'it's just another game' when he plays in the Dome Sunday
Brandin Cooks is in his first year with the Rams.
By Garland Gillen | January 17, 2019 at 2:25 PM CST - Updated January 18 at 4:21 PM
THOUSAND OAKS, CA (WVUE) - One of Jared Goff's top targets is former Saints first-round pick Brandin Cooks. He's been to the Dome a few times now in enemy colors, and no longer puts his focus on going against a former team.
"I've been back twice now. So, at the end of the day it happens to be just another game. I don't look at it or make it bigger than what it is. I think when you do that you start to lose focus. I learned my lesson the first time I went back there and a couple weeks ago as well. So just take it one snap at a time as you go out there and have fun," said Brandin Cooks.
If you want a comparison breakdown between Drew Brees and Jared Goff from Cooks, good luck.
Reporter: If there's any common thread between Saints QB Drew Brees and Rams QB Jared Goff that he's seen?
"They're both great."
Reporter: On one being around longer than the other?
Cooks played three seasons with the Black and Gold racking up 2,800 yards receiving, and 20 touchdowns.

Jessica looked at lycan biter. She didn't make a noise. She wondered if she should do him a favour or not. She muttered "When you were biting Lyca."
"That was an action which was unattractive. Just, but unattractive. I however, was not unattractive while doing the action. You are confused."
Ack! so confused!
Jessica was now a little confused. "So your saying while drinking a team member's blood you looked like a super model?"
"Kitten, don't you realize? I always look like a supermodel. I can't change that." D'Artigo shrugs. It wasn't his fault he was beautiful.

"And I'm the gorgeus one. EVERYONE knows that." She whipped her head around to where her hair had a tousled look.
Ciridia smirked. "See?"
But you knew that already, didn't you?
"Oh come now. You honestly think you're more attractive than me?" D'Artigo laughed. "Nice try Lyca, but you've got a long way to go before you can top me... in both looks and self absorption."
Muttering so no one understood she said "Lyca is prettier then you. You just vain."
Ciridia
Ciridia heard, though just barely. She smiled.
"Well, just go ahead and believe your more attractive. I think it's good to have dreams."
"And you keep dreaming Lyca. Not much can change what is."
"So, if none of us need provisions, why are we still here?"
Miv
"Because you two love to sit around and bitch."
"Sorry."
Ciridia faked a smile, but it looked pathetic. She obvisouly still wasn't comfortable around them.
"Well... in all dues fairness, she started it."
"But now that we've settled that, where to now?"
"Let's check nearby towns."
Ciridia stepped closer to Jessica.
"I don't feel like running around in the woods right now. At least, not like this." She gestured to the already pretty torn clothes she was wearing.
Miv laughed alittle.
"You need new clothes. Sure you don't wanna grab some while we're still here?"
"I'm fine."
Ciridia brushed some dirt off of her clothes and grinned.
"I like looking like this."


Pedestrian and traffic safety improvements are coming to the Van Nest and Morris Park neighborhoods.
The city Department of Transportation will be installing additional lighting to existing street lamps on Bronxdale Avenue from Tremont to Van Nest avenues.
In September 2016, community activist John Doyle requested that the DOT make changes to help improve visibility along the curve of Bronxdale Avenue for both drivers and pedestrians.
There were also new speed bumps put in two months ago on Rhinelander Avenue between Eastchester Road and Stillwell Avenue in Morris Park.
More safety measures could be in the works, as community advocates are looking to put lighting under the train tracks.
The extra street lighting along Bronxdale Avenue is expected to be installed sometime in the fall.

The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission has released its annual report to the US government and has warned against the use of Chinese information technology by both the government and private US firms.
China is currently the world's largest manufacturer of information technology and has a number of economic plans in place to eventually elevate the region to the forefront of AI innovation. However, the Chinese government has engaged in often questionable practices to assist it in its bid take the US's crown as the world's premier technological driver. These acts have contributed to the rise in tension between the two nations in recent years.
Before he levied a further 10% tariff on $200bn worth of Chinese imports in September, President Trump commented: "For months, we have urged China to change these unfair practices, and give fair and reciprocal treatment to American companies. We have been very clear about the type of changes that need to be made, and we have given China every opportunity to treat us more fairly.But, so far, China has been unwilling to change its practices."
However, the advisory panel warnings in this most recent report were focused on these same fears of state-backed data breaches. The panel alleged that despite China's commitment to curb such actions in 2015, the behavior is still rampant.
This fear combined with recent advancements in 5G technology and the increasingly prevalence of IoT enabled devices mean data breaches could put "critical infrastructure at risk". 5G technology, for example, will allow data uploads to occur 100 times faster than they currently do. This would be devastating if servers holding government state secrets or a corporation's intellectual property were compromised.
"The scale of Chinese state support for the IoT, the close supply chain integration between the US and China, and China's role as an economic and military competitor to the US creates enormous economic, security, supply chain and data privacy risks for the US," alleged the report.
"The lax security protections and universal connectivity of IoT devices creates numerous points of vulnerability that hackers or malicious state actors can exploit to hold US critical infrastructure, businesses, and individuals at risk," the report added.

Stranger Things' Caleb McLaughlin To Star Alongside Idris Elba In 'Concrete Cowboys,' Details Inside
'Concrete cowboys' is a film inspired by Fletcher Street Stables and Gregg Neri's book, Ghetto Cowboy. Fletcher Street Stables is a Black urban horsemanship community that has existed in Philadelphia for more than 100 years.
According to reports, the famous stranger things star kid Caleb McLaughlin is on board with the cast of 'Concrete boys' which includes Idris Elba. Concrete Boys will be directed by Ricky Staub as his first feature film.
The story of Concrete Boys revolves around a 15-year-old teenager who is sent to live with his father in Philadelphia, and there he observes Philadelphia's vibrant urban cowboy subculture.
Caleb McLaughlin will be playing the 15-year-old kid, and the Idris Elba will be playing his estranged dad. Elba revealed that he has never played any character like that of a cowboy, so this role is going to be a new challenge to him.
Celeb McLaughlin started his career by playing the young Simba in the musical lion king. His role in the Netflix series Stranger Things was very well appreciated by the audience and critics. He also shared an ensemble SAG award in 2017. This might prove a massive opportunity for Caleb McLaughlin to share the screen with Idris Elba and to learn many things through his role of a 15-year-old.
Jharrel Jerome, Lorraine Toussaint, and Byron Bowers join Caleb and Elba as the cast members. The release date for the Elbaand McLaughlin starrer is not yet specified. The movie is set to be produced through Lee Daniels Entertainment, Tucker Tooley Entertainment and Green Door pictures entertainment.

Q: Is it good practice to use domain objects as keys? Is is good practice to use domain objects as keys for maps (or "get" methods), or is it better to just use the id of the domain object?
It's simpler to explain with an example. Let's say I have Person class, a Club class, and a Membership class (that connects the other two). I.e.,
public class Person {
    private int id; // primary key
    private String name;
}

public class Club {
    private String name; // primary key
}

public class Membership {
    private Person person;
    private Club club;
    private Date expires;
}

Or something like that. Now, I want to add a method getMembership to Club. The question is, should this method take a Person object:
public Membership getMembership(Person person);

or, the id of a person:
public Membership getMembership(int personId);

Which is most idiomatic, which is most convenient, which is most suitable?
Edit: Many very good answers. I went with not exposing the id, because the "Person" (as you might have realized, my real domain does not have anything to do with people and clubs...) instances are easily available, but for now it is internally stored in a HashMap hashed on the id - but at least I am exposing it correctly in the interface.

A: Don't use the id's man, this is just a bad idea for all the reasons mentioned. You'll lock yourself into a design.  Let me give an example.
Right now you define you're Membership as a mapping between Clubs to People.  Rightfully, your Membership should be a map of Clubs to "Members", but you are assuming that all Members are People and that since all of the people id's are unique you think you can just use the ID.
But what if in the future you want to extend your membership concept to "family memberships", for which you create a Family table and a Family class. In good OO fashion you extract an interface of Family and Person called Member.  As long as both classes implement the equals and hashCode methods properly, no other code will have to be touched.  Personally, I would have defined the Member interface right up front.
public interface Member {
}

public class Person implements Member {
    private int id; // primary key
    private String name;
}

public class Family implements Member {
   private int id;
   private String name;
}

public class Club {
    private String name; // primary key
}

public class Membership {
   private Member member;
   private Club club;
   private Date expires;
}

If, you had used ID's in your interface, you will either need to enforce cross-table uniqueness of key values, or maintain two separate Maps and forgo the nice polymorphic interface stuff.
Believe me, unless you are writing one-off, disposable applications, you want to avoid using ID's in your interface.

A: Assuming this is a database ID or something used just for indexing (rather than something like an SSN), then in an ideal system, the presence of an ID is an implementation detail.
As an implementation detail, I would prefer to hide it in the interface of other domain objects. Thus, membership involves, fundamentally, individuals rather than numbers.
Of course, I'd make sure I implemented hashCode and equals() and documented well what they meant.
In that case, I would explicitly document that the equality of two Person objects is determined solely based on ID. This is somewhat a risky proposition, but makes code more readable if you can ensure it. I feel more comfortable making it when my objects are immutable, so I would not actually end up with two Person objects with the same ID but different names in the lifetime of the program.

A: I think the first case would be considered "purer" in the sense that the getMembership method might require more specific data from the person itself other than its id (Let's assume you do not know the internals of the getMembership method, even though this makes little sense since it's most likely in the same domain).
If it turns out that it actually requires data from the Person entity then it will not require a DAO or factory for the person in question.
This can be easily called if your language and/or ORM allows you to use proxy objects (and if you have a convenient way to create these proxies).
But lets be honest. If you're inquiring about some membership of a person, you most likely already have this Person instance in memory at hand when you call this method.
Further down the road in the "infrastructure land" there's also this notion about implementation details which Uri already mentioned while I was writing this answer (damn, that was fast bro'!). To be specific, what if you decided that this 'Person' concept suddenly has a composite primary key/identifier in the underlying database... Would you now use an identifier class? Perhaps use that proxy we were talking about?
TL;DR version
Using ID's is really easier in the short run, but if you're already using a solid ORM, I see no reason not to use proxies or some other means to express the object oriented identity of an Entity which doesn't leak implementation details.

A: If you are really practicing object oriented design, then you want to invoke the idea of information hiding. As soon as you start hanging internal field types of the person object in the public interface of the membership object's methods, you start forcing external developers (users) of your objects to start learning all kinds of information about what a person object is, and how it is stored, and what kind of ID it has.
Better yet, since a person can have memberships, why don't you just hang the "getMemberships" method onto the person class. It seems much more logical to ask a person which memberships they have, than to ask a "membership" which clubs a given person may belong to...
Edit - since the OP has updated to indicate that it is the membership itself that he is interested in, and not just used as a relation between Person and Club, I'm updating my answer.
Long story short, the "Club" class that you are defining, you are now asking to behave as a "club roster". A club has a roster, it isn't is a roster. A roster could have several features, including ways to look up persons belonging to the club. In addition to looking up a person by their club ID, you might want to look them up by SSN, name, join date, etc.. To me, this says there is a method on class "Club" called getRoster(), which returns a data structure that can lookup all the persons in the club. Call it a collection. The question then becomes, can you use the methods on pre-existing collections classes to fulfill the needs you have defined so far, or do you need to create a custom collection subclass to provide the appropriate method to find the membership record.
Since your class heirarchy is most likely backed by a database, and you are probably taking about loading info out of the database, and don't necessarily want to get the entire collection just to get one membership, you may want to create a new class. This class could be called as I said "Roster". You would get the instance of it from the getRoster() call on class "club". You would add "searching" methods to the class based on any search criteria you wanted that was "publicly available" information about the person.. name, clubID, personID, SSN, etc...
My original answer only applies if the "membership" is purely a relation to indicate which clubs which persons belong to.

A: IMO, I think it very much depends on the flow of the application - do you have the Person available when you want to get the Membership details? If yes, go with:
public Membership getMembership(Person person);
Also, I don't see any reason why the Club cannot keep track of memberships based on the Person's ID and not the actual object - I think that would mean you don't need to implement the hashCode() and equals() methods.  (Although that is always a good best-practice).
As Uri said, you should document the deceleration that two Person objects are equal if their ID is equal.

A: Whoa. Back up a sec here. The getMembership() method doesn't belong in Club. It belongs to the set of all memberships, which you haven't implemented.

A: I would probably use IDs.  Why?  By taking IDs, I'm making safer assumptions about the caller.
If I have an ID, how much work is it to get the Person?  Might be 'easy', but it does require hitting a datastore, which is slow...
If I have Person object, how much work is it to get the ID?  Simple member access.  Fast and available.

A: As described by others: use the object.
I work on a system where we had some old code that used int to represent transaction ids. Guess what? We started running out of ids because we used int.
Changing to long or BigNumber proved tricky because people had become very inventive with naming. Some used
int tranNum

some used
int transactionNumber

some used
int trannNum

(complete with spelling mistakes).
Some people got really inventive...
It was a mess and sorting it out was a nightmare. I ended up gping through all of the code manually and converting to a TransactionNumber object.
Hide the details wherever possible.

A: I would typically stick with less is more. The less information required to invoke your method the better. If you know the ID, only require the ID.
If you want, provide extra overloads which accept extra parameters, such as the entire class.

A: If you already have the object, there's no reason to pull out the ID to get a hash key.
As long as the IDs are always unique, implement hashCode() to return the ID, and implement equals() as well.
Odds are every time you'll need the Membership, you'll already have the Person, so it saves code and confusion later.

A: First of all I'd put any getters of such nature inside a DAO (and not on the model). Then I'd use the entity itself as a parameter, and what happens inside the method is an implementation detail.

A: Unless there's a significant benefit derived elsewhere, it can be said that keys in map should single-valued things, if at all possible. That said, through paying attention to equals() and hashCode() you can make any object work as key, but equals() and hashCode() aren't very pleasing things to have to pay attention to. You'll be happier sticking to IDs as keys.

A: Actually, what I would do is call it by id, but refactoring a bit the original design:
public class Person {
    private int id; // primary key
    private String name;
}

public class Club {
    private String name; // primary key
    private Collection<Membership> memberships;
    public Membership getMembershipByPersonId(int id);
}

public class Membership {
    private Date expires;
    private Person person;
}

or
public class Person {
    private int id; // primary key
    private String name;
    private Membership membership;
    public Membership getMembership();
}

public class Club {
    private String name; // primary key
    private Collection<Person> persons;
    public Person getPersonById(int id);
}

public class Membership {
    private Date expires;
}

Forest Hills Asking Voters To Support Levy
Opponents Wants School Employees To Take Pay Cut
Updated: 3:08 AM EST Feb 23, 2012
The Forest Hills School District is pulling out all the stops to encourage voters to support an operating levy."I'm worried about the current cuts shortchanging the kids," said Forest Heis, co-chairman of the levy committee.Levy supporters are doing everything they can to answer questions about the measure, such as meeting in small groups with the superintendent to help pitch the plan."There's every attempt to try to connect with the public," Heis said.He said the school has made $6.5 million in cuts each of the past three years, but the state handed down an unexpected 30 percent budget cut that left officials scrambling.Voters said the extra effort has influenced their choice."I think it's very important," said voter Jim Jenkins.

ANDERSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio —
The Forest Hills School District is pulling out all the stops to encourage voters to support an operating levy.
"I'm worried about the current cuts shortchanging the kids," said Forest Heis, co-chairman of the levy committee.
Levy supporters are doing everything they can to answer questions about the measure, such as meeting in small groups with the superintendent to help pitch the plan.
"There's every attempt to try to connect with the public," Heis said.
He said the school has made $6.5 million in cuts each of the past three years, but the state handed down an unexpected 30 percent budget cut that left officials scrambling.
Voters said the extra effort has influenced their choice.
"I think it's very important," said voter Jim Jenkins. "I've kind of gone back and forth with it, but the realization is that I want the best opportunity for my son."
Voters will consider a 3.9-mil operating levy that would cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $120 per year.
While not everyone agrees with the plan, even its opponents concede supporters have worked hard to sway voters.
"They've been extremely aggressive, the pro-levy people," said opponent Terry Michael Merrill.
Merrill said opponents have a better funding solution than a levy.
"Basically, cut 11 percent from the total compensation from all employees; that would balance the budget (and) increase the cash reserves, and no employee would need to be fired," Merrill said.
Voters will decide the levy March 6.

Beer Garden at YC Fair gets tentative approval
The Yuma County Commissioners gave contingent approval for a beer garden at the 2021 Yuma County Fair & Rodeos.
The 2-1 vote came after a public hearing held during the board's regular meeting, last Friday in the Yuma County Courthouse in Wray. It is contingent upon the Knights of Columbus' plan to serve as the vendor, which has not been presented yet to the commissioners. Commissioner Robin Wiley cast the dissenting vote. Trent Bushner and Scott Weaver voted in favor, but with strict rules in place.
Besides reaching an agreement with the Knights of Columbus, the approval is only for the 2021 fair, the agreement will outline the maximum capacity in the beer garden, the number of workers, cutting off or not serving those visibly intoxicated, the vendors not drinking, no one under 21 allowed to even be in the beer garden, that the insurance includes Yuma County as additionally insured, no food except for the buyers BBQ, no free beer, and the commissioners having the ability to shut it down if any of them witness any issues.
Weaver made the motion.
About a half-dozen people attended the public hearing, including members of the Yuma County Fair Board.
Bushner outlined the proposal that had previously been presented by the Fair Board.
It calls for a beer garden opened during the Junior Livestock Sale on Monday night of the fair. It would be located in the old Sheep Barn next to the sale ring. The plan is to have a set-up so those in the beer garden still can bid on animals
The other time there would be a beer garden is 5 to 11 p.m. Tuesday of the fair, including the night show concert. It would be located outside of the grandstands.
It was explained the Knights of Columbus do the beer garden each year at the Logan County Fair in Sterling, and members of the Yuma Knights have helped there.
Public comment included representatives of the First Southern Baptist Church in Yuma, which provides courtesy cart rides from the parking lot to the fairgrounds each year. Crystal Terrell said the church has the same stance as in the past, that it might decide not to provide the courtesy carts during the times the beer garden is in operation. Pastor Chris Mulder questioned what measures would be in place to keep things under control. He also voiced a concern about pushback against the church.
Bushner said everyone appreciates the courtesy cart service, and he hopes it keeps going. He said he did not know why anyone would discriminate if the drivers did not take people to the beer garden, or provide the service at all during the beer garden times.
Weaver noted the carts mainly are for the elderly, so he hoped they would not pay the price.
Mulder noted a lot of the cart drivers are elderly and there is a concern if a person is unruly. He was told if there is a beer garden, there will be zero tolerance for that behavior. Terrell noted there already have been those type of situations in the past.
Fair Board member Jed Gleghorn said he in no way would judge the church, but also did not want to be judged for supporting a beer garden.
Pastor Mulder and Terrell said they are not judging, they just have concern about protecting their drivers.
Gleghorn and fellow fair board members Baylor Buck and Micah Seyler explained the board's reasoning for proposing a beer garden — it would make it easier for law enforcement if it was isolated to one area, drinking already takes place at the fairgrounds so this would help control that while also generating revenue for the fair, noting that money for the fair keeps getting tighter. They also noted having it during the sale would help keep buyers more engaged instead of wandering off elsewhere.
County resident Cliff Leonhardt voiced support for the beer garden, noting that the county is missing out on revenue, and that people already walk around with cups during the fair. He also said it would help with bidding during the sale, allowing the youth to optimize their fair projects.
Commissioner Wiley said he likes to drink a cold beer as much as anyone. However, he explained that his philosophy is the fair is about the kids, and always has been, and didn't think the fair was the place to have a beer.
"It's hard for me to have a county-sanctioned beer garden," he said.
Bushner and Weaver also voiced reservations, but also supported the proposal, but with many restrictions and regulations in place, as mentioned above. Weaver noted the fair is about the youth, but it is also about the whole community. Bushner acknowledged he owns a pub in downtown Yuma, so he understands the issues that arise when serving beer. He also acknowledged drinking already takes place during the fair, but it will not be tolerated if there is a beer garden. He said he would only support it based on the Knights of Columbus' proposal showing it will be done the right way.
"There are risks," Bushner said, "but I hope it can be mitigated a bit by having it controlled."
The date the Knights of Columbus will make their presentation to the county commissioners was not known yet as of earlier this week.

Today we celebrate Keith H., an overall great guy and amazing athlete. Keith came to us just over a year ago and with a simple formula of consistency and hard work, he's done amazing things.
Keith walked in the doors as what most would describe as a 'fit guy'. He plays on a basketball league, chases after four kids and is up for pretty much any physical challenge. But he's living proof that there's always room for growth. Room to get stronger. Faster. Better. And he's done just that.
Being competitive can be a slippery slope, but Keith always finds a way to look at the motivating and lighter sides of it. He enjoys one-upping people (mostly himself) by doing the kinds of things that keep a forty year-old young. "When I was a kid I saw a guy spinning a basketball on his finger for an hour. I was like 'I can do that', so I tried it. And I did it. Plus six minutes. Just for fun." He also does other things most of us wouldn't think of. Like dropping a phone on a ball… yep, for "fun".
"I love stupid human tricks. I can balance anything on my chin", he said. For journalistic integrity, we demanded he prove it. Here's a shot of him balancing a barbell on his chin. Oh, and PLEASE do not try this at home. Or at the gym!
The FUN he finds at the gym (and in life) is what makes Keith such an amazing and motivating force. "I love the people. I even like the loud music. All the 90's rap. DMX. I love it all.". Between his musical taste, his love of sport and his ability to live life fully, we should all try to grow up – or, rather, grow YOUNG – and be like Keith.
Coach's Tip: Continuing our Pressing cycle with some Push Press and accessory pressing with Tricep extensions. Goal is to be able to increase weight each set of Push Press. The metcon has an aggressive time cap so pick a weight for the Snatches that you can do in quick singles with minimal rest.


Ewan Cameron is a Vancouver-based health researcher that has uncovered the truth about Huntington's disease and how the pharmaceutical industry has kept this hidden from the public. a graduate of the northern Alberta institute of technology, he completed his journalism studies in the early 2000's before joining a local newspaper, where he became disillusioned by his editor's refusal to publish health-related and pollution-related news stories. the reason? they would upset their corporate clients on which the newspaper depended for advertising revenue. after setting up his own blog and publishing more than thirty health-related books under a pen name, Ewan was contacted by a whistleblower working at a U.S. pharmaceutical company. some of the explosive material he revealed is contained in the pages of this book.


The fine, titanium needles of this dermal roller gently turn over skin cells as they strive to stimulate collagen and elastin production. When rolled over skin with constant pressure and speed, the tiny needles create microchannels, which help increase the absorption of topical serums and creams by up to 1,000 times. Use the device all over the body to lessen the appearance of scarring and cellulite or spin it over your scalp to help encourage hair growth.

Q: WeakSet: garbage collection doesn't work? I've just learned about WeakSet, that it stores only references to real objects so after removing the object, it is available no longer using that WeakSet.
I've checked it and it doesn't work!
Example for Chrome ver. 63. running from the console:
 let obj = {'is':1}
 let ws = new WeakSet([obj])
 obj = null
 console.log(ws) // still ws has old obj inside

WTF Are You Reading?: Don't Venture Too Far into "The Little Woods"
Watch as Cally enters a world of privilege, weekend-long parties, high school romances, and . . . well-kept secrets. This page-turner will appeal to teens looking for a fast-paced thriller. Written in a voice at once gripping and crystal clear, debut novelist, McCormick Templeman, will take readers on a twisting and turning journey as only a "new girl" can experience.
This book is another example of a brilliant premise being lost in execution. The idea of Cally going back to the school that held the secret behind the loss of her sister so many years earlier is enough to tantalize any reader almost to the point of involuntary salivation that would make Pavlov's dogs jealous; but before you go all hungry eyes and run off in search of a copy...there are a few things you should know.
She is the saving grace of this book. She is a strong smart realist who is trying to make her way in the St. Bede's world without losing herself in the process. She seems the most solid character in a world that is smoke, mirrors, mysteries and lies.
It is more than understandable that a closed and privileged boarding school like St Bede's is bound to be a breading ground for the cliques that are found within this read. The problem here is that the scope of this story is so big that the pettiness of the pecking order soon becomes an unnecessary evil that is used to try to fill pages and explain various dead end plot twists.
Reading this book is like being trapped in a car on a cross-country road trip with a precocious 4 year-old and no in car entertainment. In short, you know that there are going to be a lot of questions and hardly any answers until one of you falls asleep or you get where you are going.
This story is choc full of all kinds questions, diversions, uncertainties, and red herrings that it becomes tiresome after a while.
Hint: When attempting to write a mystery, do not make the answer to said mystery painfully obvious to the reader while throwing up smoke screens.
right down to Cally's love interests. On the one hand, there is Alex, who by all accounts is Mr. Perfect. Then there is trouble with him and Cally "hooks up" with the "asexual" ? mark that is Jack!
They seem to have this animal chemistry that make them attack each other in fits of teenaged lust all the time.
Then there is the other "secret love" that Jack has and the fact that Cally is cheating on Alex with Jack.
The saddest thing of all about this book is that the original unsolved mystery that is Clare takes a backseat to the more recent disappearance of Iris. So much time is spent chasing the story that is Iris that what Clare is treated as an afterthought.

Trying new cuisines is one of the best things about traveling to foreign places. But depending on where you live, you may not even have to leave your neighborhood to indulge.
In a new report from online real estate database Trulia ranking the 20 most diverse dining destinations in America, we discover that some US cities have enough culinary culture to last a lifetime.
To compile its ranking, Trulia gathered data from Yelp on the total number of restaurants and types of cuisine (Thai, Caribbean, Chinese, Polish, Italian, etc.) in the 100 largest US metro areas. Additionally, as an indication of a booming culinary scene, Trulia took into consideration the amount of money people spent eating out at restaurants versus the amount spent at grocery stores. After combining all metrics, each metro area was given a final score out of 100 (read the full methodology here).
Perhaps unsurprisingly, large metro areas in California — the second-most ethnically diverse state in the country with more Latinos, Asians, and American Indians than any other state — took five spots on the list, including the top three.

During Jiang Chen's speech, Sky Leviathan Escape Stream turned into a lightning bolt and fell on the ring.
With his hands behind his back, Jiang Chen's tall figure, his persevering expression, and his imposing manner, even made him shine in this moment, completely suppressing Gan Ning.
Gan Ning is also a genius who has just entered the Celestial third level. In the younger generation of Sacred Lands, it is recognized as Five Great Young Masters.
This kind of rank, but not does not have unearned reputation.
Gan Ning has his own pride of genius. After hearing the words of Jiang Chen, Gan Ning smirked.
During the conversation, Gan Ning right hand swayed gently, his right arm of the entire bar suddenly changed from the essence to the emptiness. Around his entire arm, there was a layer of strange ripple.
Next one quarter, Gan Ning entire bar became extremely surprised.
Jiang Chen lightly snorted, Evil Golden Eye, the powerful Divine Consciousness prestige energy, spurting out, like a sharp arrow, slamming to Gan Ning.
Jiang Chen now opposes the enemy, adhering to a principle, that is, according to the own rhythm.
Regardless of the opponent's many methods, Divine Ability, he only comes at his own pace.
The martial artist fights, the final ratio is still strength, compared to the background.
This Gan Ning god mark arm, there must be some places of the strange place, but for Jiang Chen, this is not important at all.
What has to do is to suppress Gan Ning at his own pace.
This Evil Golden Eye, compared with the original, has it improved by ten times? Plus the Chained Dao Seal's Divine Consciousness blessing.
Evil Golden Eye now has a Divine Consciousness attack, energy absolute endures more powerful than Celestial's three fourth level strong, this is a conventional conventional attack.
If Jiang Chen is fully committed to the Evil Golden Eye and launches a peak strike at all costs, the power will even exceed the peak of the Celestial fourth level.
It must be said that the strength of this Evil Golden Eye has become a trump card of Jiang Chen.
That Gan Ning is brewing momentum, arm slightly lifts, is preparing to launch a powerful attack, but has not had time to brew, suddenly, Evil Golden Eye's attack, has suddenly shot.
"Senior Brother Gan Ning, beware of his look attack." Xiahou Ying suddenly stepped down and ignored the style.
Xiahou Ying had just suffered a loss, so she couldn't help but say something.
Originally, Gan Ning did not pay attention this kind of attack. But this reminder by Xiahou Ying, coupled with the trillion of crisis in Gan Ning Divine Consciousness.
Almost between the electric Flint, Gan Ning figure swayed, but the eyes did not touch Jiang Chen, but the figure was shaped, and the oblique avoidance of Jiang Chen was a powerful blow.
Gan Ning's choice is to make other people stunned.
They almost thought they were wrong.
Powerful Senior Brother Gan Ning, just broke through the Senior Brother Gan Ning at Celestial third level. In the first move, it was actually suppressed by Shao Yuan.
In the face of Shao Yuan's attack, Senior Brother Gan Ning actually did not have the tough head-on with toughness, but chose to avoid, choose to avoid its edge, is it powerful, can not suppress this Shao with the power of Senior Brother Gan Ning Yuan kid?
This kid is just the Great Emperor Realm peak, Half-Celestial supports are dead.
Half-Celestial on the Celestial third level, how to seeing is no suspense showdown, how the first move will appear such a big contrast.
For a time, it was Jing Yi, and it was also a little lost. Jing Yi is Gan Ning's faithful follower, he feels that Senior Brother Gan Ning can definitely crush this Shao Yuan kid.
The present's situation is to subvert his happy fantasy.
Even more frightening is that Gan Ning doesn't even have not even made clear where the mystery of this attack is.
Say he is a physical attack, this attack almost scares He's Divine Consciousness.
Say that he is a Divine Consciousness attack, Gan Ning feels that if he fleshly body squats on this, he will not be dead.
Although Gan Ning is in a state of utter disappointment, the rhythm has not changed. With a sneer, the arm lifts again, at the tip of his index finger, a sharp ripple appears, and a burst of spreads comes out.
The ripples of this circle are like layers of space. In an instant, the space in the vicinity of the platform is occupied.
Formidable's spatial adsorption force produces a powerful vortex, which is brought to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen lightly snorted, Sky Leviathan Escape Stream, a glimpse of the empty range, avoiding Gan Ning's attack range, a landing, but fell to the other side of the ring.
At the same time, Jiang Chen is also unambiguous, moving back and moving, and a more powerful Evil Golden Eye, shot out. This time, Jiang Chen's attack attack speed is faster.
The Sky Leviathan Escape Stream's spe strong, and the Evil Golden Eye attack is also extremely fast.
Gan Ning's reaction is also extremely fast. When seeing the divine light flashing in front of me, know my watermark space, or have not kept up with the speed of the opposite party. didn't involve the opposite party.
Gan Ning, the watermark space, the most powerful place is that once it is involved, it will fall into the dimension space under his control, and he will be slaughtered.
This watermark space is a very extraordinary space Divine Ability. Gan Ning got a big lucky chance and got the arm of water deity that can control the forces of nature.
In controlling the Water Attribute, Gan Ning is the first person of Sacred Lands.
With this in mind, he is qualified to rank among the Five Great Young Masters.
However, this watermark space also has a weakness, which is speed. The Divine Ability of Water Attribute is not characterized by speed, but by its potential.
Water is a mysterious attribute that can take advantage of the trend and be able to go against the trend and be able to interpret many Divine Ability, Heaven world phenomena.
Water Attribute, all-encompassing, omnipotent, pervasive, everywhere.
This is a very profound attribute, but it is also a very difficult property.
This Gan Ning, if not for the big luck chance of this day, got the arm of the water god, his fighting battle efficiency, not too far ahead in the young generation of Sacred Lands.
It is because of this lucky chance that has achieved he.
However, in the face of Sky Leviathan Escape Stream, Gan Ning is a bit of a struggle.
Watermark space, is really good at trapping opponent, good at narrow space, suppressing opponent. As long as the opposite party is involved, then you can only serve as a fish.
On speed, Gan Ning as Celestial third level, in fact, will not be slow.
However, he encountered peculiar genius in speed. Jiang Chen's Sky Leviathan Escape Stream, already a first-class escape art movement skill.
Evil Golden Eye, even Divine Consciousness can condense into a look, the ray attack, its speed, comparable to spe of light.
Regardless of defense or offense, Jiang Chen is slightly ahead of Gan Ning in speed, which makes Gan Ning's battle extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Gan Ning's arm of the water god, both offensive and defensive, has his terrible things.
The first time, Gan Ning was not prepared, and hurriedly avoided the Evil Golden Eye.
At the second time, Gan Ning showed the follow demeanor of Five Great Young Masters. The arm of the water deity is light, and there is a water curtain in his face.
The attack of Evil Golden Eye, shot on the water curtain, stirred up an intermittent ripple, which was able to break the water curtain and stir up a water splash.
However, as soon as the two canceled, the Evil Golden Eye's attack also turned into nothingness.
Jiang Chen was secretly surprised. This seems to be a common watermark. Is there such a terrible defense? This made Jiang Chen a bit surprised.
Jiang Chen also admitted that he had encountered a strong enemy.
However, it is only a rival, Jiang Chen does not think that this Gan Ning can win him.
In the face of powerful enemy, Jiang Chen's fighting spirit is also motivated. The speed is also raised to peak. The sky is empty, and there are Jiang Chen's remnant shades everywhere.
Remnant shade of everywhere, empty Evil Golden Eye.
Like a statue of deity, it flashes in the void, and the Evil Golden Eye is like the eye of Divine Spirit, which shoots a ruling of the world.
For a time, the entire ring was full of brilliance.
Jiang Chen stimulation of the speed of the limit is actually a combination of defense and attack. He is very clear that the watermark space of the opposite party is very good at consuming the space.
If you stay in a place for a long time, it is easy to be swallowed by the other watermark space.
Therefore, he seems to be crazy of the acceleration, in fact, is also in the defense. Naturally, the best defense is offense, so Jiang Chen is also defending the attack to the peak.
This is the case with the two, each using the superiority of own, to compete.
Jiang Chen is fighting for speed, and Gan Ning is fighting for space.
Gan Ning wants to devour space to suppress Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen wants to suppress Gan Ning by speed.
However, under the situation of current, no one can suppress anyone.
This kind of match is quite a stunned look at the other people. They obviously can't accept this scene.
Powerful, such as Senior Brother Gan Ning, how can it be a great Emperor Realm kid, forced to win? Here is the head, is there any problem?
That Jing Yi is even more stunned, the whole face is incredible. He now finally understands why this Shao Yuan boy dares is so mad.
People do have the qualification of crazy.
If they really come together, the relative party is so fearful of speed, they go up, they can only be cumbersome, basic impossible can help.

Anna: Facts About October
September 17, 2015 , cherran	, Leave a comment
The twelve month solar calendar, as we know it today has undergone many changes before evolving to its current precision. The calendar accurately matches the seasons, with a deviation of only one day in 20,000 years
The calendar followed by most countries in the world is the Gregorian calendar. It divided the year into 12 months and has 365 and a quarter days. The Gregorian calendar was introduced by Pope Gregory XII in 1582. It is rooted in the Roman calendar presumed to have been started by Romulus, founder of Rome, in 738 BCE. This was a lunar calendar. In 46 BCE Julius Caesar on the advice of the astronomer, Sosigenes redesigned the calendar based on the Egyptian solar calendar. His calendar was called the Julian calendar.
FACT 1: The month of October is the 10th month of the Gregorian calendar. It has 31 days and corresponds with autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere.
FACT 2: The name October comes from the Latin 'octo' meaning eight. In the earliest calendar, the Roman calendar, the year had only 10 months. The first month was March, making October the eight month.
FACT 3: King Numa Pompilius added the months of January and February in 700 BCE. After a few centuries of rearrangement of the order of the months, October shifted to the 10th month, but its name remained unchanged.
FACT 4: October always starts on the same day as January, except on a Leap Year. It ends on the same day as January and February, every common (not leap) year.
FACT 5: In a leap year the starting day of October does not correspond with the starting day of any other month.
FACT 6: The flower of the month of October is the calendula. The birth stone is the opal. It is said that an opal worn by a person, not born in the month of October, will crack.
FACT 7: In the history of the modern world the month of October has especial significance. Tsar Nicholas II of Russia issued the October Manifesto in 1905, to stem the tide of unrest threatening to overthrow the monarchy. By this Manifesto, the Tsar granted the people fundamental freedoms and establishes franchise and a legislative body. Thus constitutional monarchy was ushered in, displacing the unlimited autocracy of the Tsar.
FACT 8: The Soviet Era was ushered in after the Bolshevik Party seized power after the October Revolution. The revolution is dated October 24 to 25. On 14th Feb 1918, Russia adopted the Gregorian calendar, also called the New Style Calendar. This actually makes the historic October Revolution, a November revolution, the New Style dates being November 6-7.
FACT 9: The fourth Arab Israeli War is called the October War. It is also called the Yom Kippur War and the Ramadan War. The name October War corresponds to the Gregorian calendar. None of the Arab counties involved follow the Gregorian calendar. They follow the lunar, Islamic calendar. The war corresponded to the month of Ramadan that fell in October that year. In 2016 Ramadan will commence in June and end in July. In 1973, the Israeli Day of Atonement, of Yom Kippur also fell in October. Yom Kippur will occur in September in 2016 as the Hebrew calendar is lunisolar.
FACT 10: The Oktoberfest is a German beer festival held over a two week period ending in the first Sunday of October. This very popular festival is celebrated in many parts of the United States and is gaining popularity in other parts of the world.

The Ultimate Brew: 10 Awesome Facts You Need to Know About Beer


Part mystery, part magical, Remembering Olympus is a story of 'life after life', tangled destinies, and the creative power of love and jealousy.
Aaron Payne is a typical urban professional running away from his impoverished past. Intelligent and pragmatic, he rises above grocery budgets and the low expectations of his peers only to find himself buried in corporate middle management.
Seemingly by coincidence, he meets Miranda Reed, a beautiful gentrified heiress. Unwavering in his plan to gain social respectability, he carves a niche for himself among the very wealthy only to have it unexpectedly taken away. Psychologically traumatized, he is thrown into a crisis of identity where he begins to remember improbable things about his true nature.
When he crosses paths with Claire Vinson, an enigmatic publisher, both become entangled in an ensuing mystery as Aaron begins to remember pieces of another existence that will pull him into a maze of shifting time and past lives.
In pursuit of 'who he is', Aaron makes questionable choices setting off a string of dangerous events that threaten the destiny of those around him as he adjusts to his new 'self'.
Prophetic in tone, Remembering Olympus is a mystical revelation that peels back the layers of certainty, challenges perceptions of reality, and gets to the question. Are humans more than mere mortals?

I'm pretty sure this has a LOT to do with those group projects in high school and college where there was a lot of in-fighting, haggling, and at least one group member who did nothing and still garnered the "A," but I've never really been a fan of creative collaboration.
You might not be able to tell from what I've written to date, but I kinda have a mind of my own.
I'd rather do it myself and fail on my own than depend on someone else for creative inspiration, and this is particularly true with writing projects. I mean, stubborn attitude aside, how do people collaborate on a written work? I don't understand how two people write a novel together…does each write a chapter? Do they sit in a room together for months on end, brainstorming out loud until they both like and agree on a sentence? Sounds a bit painful, if you ask me.
What started out as an idea for a cookbook turned into a blog (http://TwoChunkyGirls.wordpress.com) that has been a learning experience and an eye-opener for me.
How do you write with another person? Very carefully.
Just kidding. If you choose the right person, writing together (or doing anything together, really) can be a lot of fun and a totally new experience.
Once you get over the hurdle of the logistics of collaboration, that is. Heather (the other Chunky Girl) and I have been experimenting with different formats and methods for writing our blog: sitting together in a room and actually going sentence by sentence together; chatting incessantly while a voice recorder is running and stringing together the five minutes of deep thoughts that emerge from hours of conversation; interviewing Heather's four-year-old daughter for funny quotes when we are completely at a loss; copying and pasting our text conversations for the world to read; writing back and forth over email until we had a completed blog post; each writing separately on the same topic and posting them together, blindly.
We still haven't found the perfect method. To be honest, the "right" way for us to work is whatever our schedules allow—do we have time to hang out together? Are we relegated to email and texts for a couple of weeks? Did something happen that we want to write about? Do we have to mine the depths of our friendship to find something new to say?
As a duo, we're still feeling our way through the blogosphere. But for me, individually, writing a blog with another person has allowed for a complete change of pace from my usual working style. Collaboration provides me with a number of benefits that my individual writing projects don't.
Honest feedback. Having an editor red-line an article is one thing; most writers come to the table prepared to professionally defend their words and thoughts to a person that they work for and are financially beholden to. But when I write a blog with Heather, and she asks if I really want to make public some private thought, or when she points out that our very first post was taking too long to introduce who we are and why we were writing a blog, it's enlightening. No, really, it was. She is probably reading this right now and doing a Crystal Light spit-take. But if Heather questions something I've put in writing, I know it's with my best interest at heart.
A different way of thinking. Heather knows me better than most, she understands how I think, she knows where the bodies are buried. As I said, when she questions something I want to write, I know I should probably re-think my comments. Plus, because she doesn't have a professional writing background (and because she will willingly and proudly tell you that she doesn't read), she is truly reading a draft like a reader would. If something doesn't make sense to Heather, I know other readers won't get it either, so I trust her feedback. Plus, I know she won't hide the truth but she also won't be unnecessarily harsh. Nothing could encourage creativity more.
Not bearing the pressure of new ideas alone. This, right here, is the number one reason any creative person should consider collaboration. It was such a thrill to have someone else in the room sharing the burden of coming up with an idea. Even after we had written our first post, I reverted to my single-minded, tortured writer frame-of-mind and stressed about what we would do next. Suddenly, an email appeared in my inbox from Heather, the first line of which said, "Here's an idea I had for the blog—you probably have to wordsmith it but you get the meaning." Not only was it a phenomenal idea that I never would have had, the writing was perfect as it was—I didn't change a thing. It's very freeing to know that I am not responsible for every word we write or for every topic idea. It feels like my birthday every time I receive an email or text with the beginnings of a blog post—with that pressure off I am free to tweak the idea and do something creative with it and that kind of makes me want to do a cartwheel. If I was the athletic type, that is.
Someone to share success so it doesn't sound like bragging. When the number of page views on the blog increases, or when we get complimentary comments posted, or when there is suddenly a "buzz" about the blog, it's amazing to have someone to turn to and go "Squee!" Not only won't your collaborator think you're egotistical, but they will genuinely understand and take pride in tiny little achievements ("We got two 'likes!'") that other people, no matter how much they love you, are not really all that interested in.
I suppose this might sound like a blog entry that belongs on Two Chunky Girls rather than My Accidental Muse, but really, this is where it belongs. I highly recommend partnering with another writer, artist, entrepreneur, or simply a friend on your next project. Not only will the experience mostly like result in a successful (and fun!) "masterpiece" but it will probably change the way you work individually from that point forward.
Or there will be a huge catastrophe and hilarity will ensue.

Holy balls! Why didn't I READ this before now? Why?? Because I have been holed up in the house with two kids, a husband that can't lift more than 15 pounds for yet another week and 3 dogs who are just assholes. Sorry…..got sidetracked by A.D.D. and bitterness. I am totally flattered. And confused. I can't believe you even value my opinion when it comes to writing but I am totally flattered. Kisses, BFF. That's what I have to say about this one. I totally approve. We rock together. Thank you.

Royal Enfield 650 twins take the track at Summit Point
Royal Enfields take to the track at Summit Point Motorsports Park.
If things continued the way they were going when I left about 2:30, maybe 400 motorcycle riders got a taste of the new Royal Enfield 650 twins during the launch event Saturday, May 18 at Summit Point Motorsports Park, in West Virginia.
Turnout was strong and the line to sign up for demo rides was long. No one seemed unhappy about waiting their turn, as it allowed time for a pulled pork sandwich from the food truck.
Royal Enfield North America is showcasing its new Continental GT 650 and INT650 twin-cylinder motorcycles in a "launch tour" of eight cities.
"This is how a new bike roll-out should be done!" Erich Rainville commented on Facebook. "What a great event! Had a blast. Got to ride both bikes and and bonus round to try out the Himalayan. Thanks RE!"
Summit Point was the second of eight stops planned for roll-out events during May through June. Demo rides, food, drink, live music and local vendors are geared to make each venue unique.
What was especially unique at Summit Point, of course, was that it is a race track.
The series of introductions for the 650 twins began in Miami, Florida, Saturday, May 11. After Summit Point the tour goes on to:
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Saturday, June 1.
Toronto, Ontario, Saturday, June 8.
Denver, Colorado, Saturday, June 15.
San Jose, California, Saturday, June 22.
Brea, California, Saturday, June 29.
San Diego, California, Sunday, June 30.
While Summit Point Motorsports Park promised a chance to ride on the track, "with no speed limits," the others emphasize enjoying the characteristics of the cities, or take advantage of a concurrent motorcycle show.
The events are free, but you must RSVP to attend. Click on the cities above and scroll down to sign up to be on the list and get event updates.
Meanwhile, local dealers across North America are starting to stock the Royal Enfield 650cc twins. for sale.
