From New York Times bestselling author Jennifer A. Nielsen comes a thrilling World War II story of espionage and intrigue, as one girl races to save her father and aid the French resistance.
Six hundred and fifty-seven days ago, Meg Kenyon's father left their home in France to fight for the Allies in World War II, and that was the last time Meg saw him. Recently, she heard he was being held prisoner by the Nazis, a terrible sentence from which Meg fears he'll never return. All she has left of him are the codes he placed in a jar for her to decipher, an affectionate game the two of them shared. But the codes are running low, and soon there'll be nothing left of Papa for Meg to hold on to at all.
Suddenly, an impossible chance to save her father falls into Meg's lap. After following a trail of blood in the snow, Meggie finds an injured British spy hiding in her grandmother's barn. Captain Stewart tells her that a family of German refugees must be guided across Nazi-occupied France to neutral Spain, whereupon one of them has promised to free Meg's father. Captain Stewart was meant to take that family on their journey, but too injured to complete the task himself, he offers it to Meg, along with a final code from Papa to help complete the mission -- perhaps the most important, and most difficult, riddle she's received yet.
As the Nazis flood Meg's village in fierce pursuit, she accepts the duty and begins the trek across France. Leading strangers through treacherous territory, Meg faces danger and uncertainty at every turn, all the while struggling to crack her father's code. The message, as she unravels it, reveals secrets costly enough to risk the mission and even her own life. Can Meg solve the puzzle, rescue the family, and save her father?

Max Holloway: "Conor McGregor Can Beg to Fight Me"

Rumor: Brock Lesnar Wants to Return to the UFC Later This Year
At UFC 212, two of the best lightweight fighters not named Conor McGregor unified the UFC featherweight championship. When Max Holloway (interim champion) stopped Jose Aldo (undisputed champion) in the third round of their title fight in Brazil on Saturday night, it set up a mouth watering potential fight with former featherweight champ McGregor.
Holloway's last loss was actually at the hands of McGregor, back in 2013 when he was just 21-years-old. Additionally, McGregor never lost the featherweight title, but rather had it taken from him by the UFC when it became apparent that he wouldn't be around to defend it anytime soon, after also winning the lightweight championship and then taking some time off while his girlfriend was pregnant. And then there's the whole Floyd Mayweather fight that McGregor is still apparently working on. The point is, a fight between Holloway and McGregor to determine the "true" undisputed featherweight champion would actually make a lot of sense.
When Holloway was asked it about it at the post-fight press conference, he basically said he plans to take on all challengers.
"If he wants to come back down, he can come and get it," Holloway said. "But if not, it is what it is, you know? … I ain't going to chase someone around. I ain't going to talk about someone that ain't talking about me. He gets to choose his fights. Why am I going to cry and beg him to fight me? Get the hell out of here with that s**t. He can beg to fight me now."
"I ain't asking no one to fight. I've got my throne. If you want it, come see me."
McGregor's next fight is still a complete unknown. If the once-impossible boxing match with Mayweather ends up becoming a reality, the Irishman's next fight might not even be in a UFC cage. Then again, McGregor is known for making surprise decisions and could be ready to return to MMA at a moments notice, whether to defend the 155-pound belt or to "get back" the 145-pound one.
Devon has been writing about random things online since 2013. His favorite video game is Rocket League, his favorite TV show is The Sopranos, and he hated the last season of Game of Thrones. Follow him @DevonTaylor113.

This is the ultimate for the family who wants it all!!! These Disney vacation homes near Disney World are just 15 minutes from the theme parks. Choose from 3,4,5 and 6 bedroom homes. All homes come with their own pools.
As low as $99 per night.

Stay just minutes from all of the Disney magic. These Disney vacation homes are available for either 3 or 4 bedrooms. Amenities include a heated pool with spa, game room, playgrounds for the kids, sauna and more.

Our booking Policy is the best in the business. We only require guests to put up a $50 refundable deposit, and 15 days prior to your arrival your remaining balance is due. If something should come up and you are not able to make your Disney vacation, and you notify us prior to 15 days of your arrival, we will cancel the reservation and refund $35 of the $50 deposit.

Our staff has a combined 87 years experience helping families plan their Disney World vacation, and more importantly booking vacation homes in Kissimmee, FL. Kissimmee Vacation Homes offer a great value for your Disney Vacation.
"We just finished our church group vacation. The Kissimmee Vacation Homes that we stayed in were way beyond our expectations. All the kids had a blast in the pool home and they had fun at Disney too! I can't wait to come back."
If you are coming to Orlando and you desire more space in your accommodations, you simply cannot go wrong with a Vacation home. The average Orlando, FL hotel is roughly 400 square feet. As you can imagine, a hotel room can become cramped very quickly even for a small family or group. In a Disney World vacation home, everyone can have their own room. After a long day at the parks this is especially beneficial because some will be tired and want to go to bed, someone may be hungry and they will head to the kitchen for a snack, mom may need to do a quick load of laundry, dad might want to watch television and relax, and some of the kids might want to hit the pool. Disney vacation homes are excellent lodging choices because they better accommodate everyone at once with minimal fuss.
Another nice perk of staying in at a home near Disney, the close proximity to the theme parks which means you won't be stuck in the Orlando traffic which can get quite heavy when locals are going and coming to work. Traffic can also get backed up in the tourist areas where many of the hotels are located outside of Disney World. If you are coming to Disney World and you want to experience the next level in vacationing, then be sure to give us a call, and we can answer any questions that you may have about the homes.

Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels to Vice Admiral William S. Sims, Commander, United States Naval Forces Operating in European Waters
(A),
RECEIVED: 24th June, 1917. TO: Alusna, London.1
FOR VICE-ADMIRAL SIMS No. 37.
This is a reply to your various letters and cables.
The need of reserve of personnel for such active forces as may be engaged on duties of particularly arduous kinds under conditions permitting of little respite is recognised by the Department. This refers particularly to destroyers on active service. There is a limit of the number of trained personnel enlisted and commissioned that can be spared for the reserve indicated above owing to the very heavy demands for this type of man needed for other active operations of most important kinds, however, the Department will endeavour to maintain a personnel reserve in your destroyer forces, consisting of something like one-fiftieth of the destroyer complement. This to be supplied from our naval reserves.2
Another thing that the Department recognises is the necessity of sending all anti-submarine craft which can be spared from the home waters into active European waters, and when such craft become available will send them.3 In making the local assignments abroad of such forces, the Department requests and will be guided by your advice, which should be given after consultation with the various Admiralties concerned as to priority of requirements.
The Department is strongly of the opinion – based on recent experiences – that the question of supplying adequate guns and trained gun crews to merchant ships is one which can – in no wise – be treated as a minor issue.4 Coupled with a rigid system of inspection, this method is believed to constitute one of the most effective defensive submarine measures.
It announces, moreover, as its policy its willingness to co-operate in every way, and will consider the question of supplying additional naval forces of types other than anti-submarine craft, whenever the advisability of so doing is justified.5 The Department is also considering the outline of a scheme which it is hoped will allow of a greater degree of co-operation and ability to supply escort to vessels through the danger zone, without interfering with the destroyers' other duties as much as does the present system of individual escort, and it will not displace the present method of handling merchant shipping from United States Ports. Details when prevented (?) will be cabled.6
In the matter of construction, the Department recognises the necessity of pushing to the utmost the type of destroyer of the general specifications recommended by you and this it will do. 19023
DANIELS,
Sec. Navy.

A logo is not meant to be an ordinary image. It has to stand out and be a visual reference for a business company. Once a logo becomes familiar in the consciousness of people, especially your target market, the branding and marketing campaigns of a company will become easier.
A logo should be flexible enough to represent the company in various functions. This means it should be distinguishable – even as a speck in the letterhead of a company or as a design in a corporate mug or souvenir.
To achieve this, a business logo must have scalability. This is the ability of a logo to have a consistent look without any loss of resolution. It means a logo should be identifiable whatever the format it will be printed.
Vectorized logos are infinitely scalable. Compared to using rasterized logos, a vectorized business logo is flexible enough to look good in any medium – whether in TV, newspapers or actual products.
Color is an important part of logo design. Whether it is in full Technicolor or in black and white, the color of a logo is more than a visual reference. It also has a psychological effect on humans. Color theory, when used and coordinated properly, can induce various emotions in people.
Black is meant to inspire authority, power, stability and strength.
White is usually associated with purity, cleanliness, peace and neutrality.
Red attracts attention, energy, movement and excitement.
Blue signifies calming, dependability, wisdom, steadfastness and loyalty.
Green evokes virtues of growth, nature, financial health, good luck, fertility and generosity.
Yellow indicates laughter, happiness, optimism and metabolism speed.
Orange denotes happiness, energy, fun and ambition.
Purple symbolizes wealth, royalty, prosperity and sophistication.
Sometimes there is no one-way to choose a logo design. It all amounts to vibe and the fit of a particular image for your business. When choosing a logo, pick from at least five designs.
An important consideration is not to rush the selection process. Let it sit for a few days then come back to it for your final decision. In the process, get the feedback of other people. Their inputs may also give you different perspectives for choosing a logo. These people can be family, friends, employees, loyal customers and even business associates.
Think of the selection process as both art and science. It is science in the sense that it must get the fundamental elements right such as scalability and flexibility in formats. It is also art because a logo should evoke and convey emotions, meanings and even messages.
Whatever aspect, whether science or art, a business logo should be memorable. It should not merely blend among other logos. It must be definitive and simple at the same time. When you have made a final decision, double check how trusted parties perceive it.
A logo is a big factor in developing and enhancing the brand of a business. It should be carefully chosen because it will represent your products and services to your target market. Hopefully, a logo will become so recognizable that it will stay consistent for years and even for decades to come.
However, it must be understood that a logo is similar to the make-up of a woman. A high quality business will be enhanced because of a beautiful logo. On the other hand, if the business is deplorable to begin with, no logo can save it from negative reviews of people.

Tessa Thompson & Lupita Nyong'o Among Shortlist For Catwoman Role In 'The Batman'
Lucas Talbot Posted On October 3, 2019
While Warner Bros. is currently in talks with Jonah Hill for The Batman, director Matt Reeves has been looking to cast a woman of color for Catwoman. According to our friends at Geeks WorldWide, Reeves has narrowed his list down to five contenders.
Lupita Nyong'o and Tessa Thompson headline the shortlist for the role of Selina Kyle, otherwise known as Catwoman. Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Alexandra Shipp, and Logan Browning are also in the running to appear in the upcoming Batman film.
Nyong'o and Thompson are both veterans of the MCU, with Nyong'o starring in Black Panther as Nakia and Thompson appearing in both Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Endgame as the Asgardian warrior Valkyrie. Shipp, on the other hand, played Storm in the last two X-Men films under the Fox/Marvel brand.

Warner Bros. is familiar with Mbatha-Raw as she was a contender for the role of Dinah Lance/Black Canary in Birds of Prey, which eventually went to Jurnee Smollett-Bell. Mbatha-Raw is best known for her role in Beyond The Lights and the live-action Disney film, Beauty & the Beast.
Browning currently starts in the Netflix drama series, Dear White People. It was recently announced that the show had been renewed for its fourth, and final, season on the streaming service.
When Reeves fills the role of Catwoman, the actress would be joining the likes of Robert Pattinson, who will play Bruce Wayne/Batman while Jeffrey Wright will portray Commissioner Jim Gordon. Once the deal with Hill is completed, it is thought he will be playing either the Penguin or the Riddler.
Are you thrilled with the shortlist for the role of Catwoman? Who do you want to see play Selena Kyle? Let us know in the comments below!
The Batman will hit theaters on June 25, 2021.

The governing body has a duty to ensure that the school adheres to the Code of Practice under the Children and Families Act 2014.
The governing body appoints a governor who is specifically responsible for special educational needs to support the Headteacher and SENCO in monitoring that the Code of Practice is fully implemented.
One of the key responsibilities of the governing body is to make sure that the school's policy for children with special educational needs and disability (SEND) is published on the school website. The information on the school website must be reviewed annually by the governing body.
The governing body also has a responsibility to ensure that appropriate safeguarding procedures are in place for all pupils, including those who have SEND.


I looked at the ZMF Auteur Blackwood, but I felt the Clear's higher sensitivity would be a better match for my Chord Mojo.
Congrats on the Clears. Solid choice!
Yes the 300 ohm impedance of the ZMF Auteurs is much better suited to dedicated headphone amps and tubes especially.
Focal is offering a discount on the Elear, Clear, and Utopia models through many authorized dealers. Prices are: Elear $700, Clear $1100 and Utopia for $3000.
Congrats. Trying to decide between the Audeze LDC2 and Elear. Have really enjoyed my Focal speakers so want to give their cans a try.
Do you have any dealers you can share? The best I've found on the Clear is $1300 and no discounts on the Elear.
There are a number of sites that will give you the discount if you "trade in" a pair of headphones: Upscale Audio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJf4-UbGCpg), Woo Audio, Moon Audio, etc.
Thanks. (though I won't 'deal' with Kevin Deal at Upscale).
Purchased a pair of Audeze LCD-3 earlier, so also purchased a pair of Clear from headphone.com. Will see which I prefer.

After about 18hr of break-in I can definitely say that my ears prefer the sound of the Clear to the sound of the LCD-3. This is running both from my Bryston B100-SST and from the Woo WA6 headhone amp. The Clear has that 'quick' & 'clear' sound that is my preference compared to the more 'romantic' sound of the LCD-3. Both are amazing in offering wonderful detail and extension at both ends, but the Clear is the sound I prefer. The HD-650 is more similar to the Clear than it is to the LCD-3. Obviously, YMMV.
Oops........ forgot to add a couple of details. The Clear is supremely comfortable on my head (maybe not yours). Considerably better than the LCD-3 (which did become 'heavy' after an hour+ of listening) and a bit better than the HD-650, which is also excellent for long-term wear.
On the downside, the Clear standard cable is too stiff and tends to kink. I spend too much time walking around and having to 'unkink' the cable. An unnecessary pita.

Great feedback on the Clear, thanks!
BTW, I upgrading from HD-600.
Joe - feel sure you will be pleased.
Update - after almost a week of listening, think my Clear are 'broken-in'. And they are truly excellent. Not only are they comfortable for long-term listening, but they provide the best sound of any pair of headphones I've had on my head. Have always been a fan of Focal speakers and, now, their headphones, as well.

Doctor Who: Step Back in Time - Series Seven
The Time of Capaldi is almost upon us, with just a over two weeks left until his feature-length début (how spoiled are we?) is broadcast across television and cinema screens alike. So its time for Eleven to take one last bow as we cast a look back at the most recent series of Doctor Who: Series Seven. Though it's sort of two series that can either exist apart or as one. Like a worm. Ladies and gentleman, I give you Series Worm...
Starring: Matt Smith (the Doctor), Karen Gillan (Amy Pond), Arthur Darvill (Rory Williams), Jenna-Louise Coleman (Clara Oswald) with Neve McIntosh (Madame Vastra), Catrin Stewart (Jenny Flint), Dan Starkey (Strax) and Alex Kingston (River Song)
Produced by: Marcus Wilson and Denise Paul
Executive Produced by: Steven Moffat and Caroline Skinner
Best Episodes
Asylum of the Daleks by Steven Moffat
What better way to open a series than a visit to a planet full of insane Daleks? 'Asylum' is a true thriller of an episode, starting the year of the 'Movie-of-the-week' perfectly. Alongside the aforementioned sanity-impaired Skarosians is a subplot involving the Doctor trying to save Amy and Rory's marriage and a surprise appearance from companion-to-be Clara (well, sort of) with Jenna proving herself to be a terrific actress. It turned out these episodes wouldn't just be any old movies-of-the-week, they would be blockbusters.
The Rings of Akhaten by Neil Cross
Once in a while, a Doctor Who episode is unlucky enough to find itself on the receiving end of a barrage of criticism. So while many don't care for Neil Cross' début Who I, for one, think it's hugely enjoyable. The story may be slight but that only means it's going for atmosphere and heart more than complex plot. This also gives the other areas of production more chance to shine then usual, in particular costume design and Murray Gold's soaring score. 'Rings' is a magical sci-fi tale. Good enough, in fact, to feed Akhaten himself.
The Crimson Horror by Mark Gatiss
With 'Cold War', Gatiss provided his best Who so far but his second of this series was somehow even better. A wonderful hodge-podge of Sherlock Holmes, James Bond and Gatiss' very own Lucifer Box novels, 'Crimson' is a horror-tinged adventure with some great innovative storytelling. The finest example so far of how a Paternoster Gang spin-off show would work. The answer? Get Mark Gatiss to write it.

TARDIS Team(s)
Series Seven is the first to employ the idea that the Doctor's companions do not have to runaway with the Doctor full-time. After formally leaving the TARDIS during the previous series, Amy and Rory Pond are unique in that the Doctor continues to come back for them, taking them on one-off trips across time and space before returning them to the normal lives. In fact, this arrangement went on for years, with the Ponds ageing from twentysomething to middle-age - however, though the Doctor does try, you can't hold off growing up forever. In the end, it took an invasion of New York by Weeping Angels to force the travels of the undisputed longest-running companions of the revived series to come to an end.
The Doctor's next companion, Clara, was a true anomaly. Not only did she appear before she joined the Doctor on his travels, she also died - twice. When 21st century Clara (as opposed to Victorian and Dalek Clara) finally travelled in the TARDIS (with a similar arrangement to the Ponds) it made for a unique Doctor-companion dynamic. For the first time, the audience did not see through the companion's eyes to crack the mystery of the Doctor but quite the reverse.
As well as his core companions, Series Seven also gives the Doctor a number of go-to allies. Reintroduced after their popular début in Series Six, Victorian detectives Madame Vastra and Jenny, now joined by the reformed Sontaran Strax, the Paternoster Gang notched up three appearances, including the series finale. This same finale also found time to wrap up the story of the Doctor's wife, River Song, literally laying her (data) ghost to rest. Out with the old and in with the new, it seemed the series was preparing for a change. A regeneration, you might say...
In a series full of firsts, Series Seven takes a new take on the issue of story arcs. Whereas its immediate predecessors were almost serials in their attitude to ongoing storylines, this series took a much looser approach. This was a series that was proud to be a different show every week, made up entirely of single-episode stories. Defined by featuring two different sets of companions, the two halves of the series are really two shorter runs bolted together and so have their own stories to tell.
The first five, or Series Pond, were the softer of the two on story arc, being almost devoid of overarching narrative, with the exception of some thematic foreshadowing of the Pond's exit. The second, or rather Series Clara, brings things to the boil somewhat more with the mystery of Clara, 'the Impossible Girl' being referenced in most stories before being revealed in the finale.
However, there was something that dripped through both Series Pond and Clara, as with 'Bad Wolf' or 'Torchwood' it was just a phrase that had a larger meaning. In fact, it was a question. The oldest in the universe. The question that the Doctor had been running from all his lives was coming back to haunt him. And that question was: 'Doctor Who?' The answer, apparently, lay on Trenzalore.
Combined with the 50th anniversary outing and Christmas special that followed it, Series Seven combined lively stories with friends and enemies, new and old, to send the Eleventh Doctor off in style. What's more, with its big-screen ambitions, Series Seven is the reason Doctor Who is currently enjoying a semi-regular home at cinemas worldwide. Thanks to Series Seven, the Doctor, rather than the Daleks or the Cybermen, is taking over the world.
Coming Soon: It's not just his kidneys that have changed. The new Doctor lands 23rd August.

The British Engineerium (formerly Brighton and Hove Engineerium) is an engineering and steam power museum in Hove, East Sussex.  It is housed in the  Goldstone Pumping Station, a set of High Victorian Gothic buildings started in 1866. The Goldstone Pumping Station supplied water to the local area for more than a century before it was converted to its present use. The site has been closed to the public since 2006, and in March 2018 the entire complex was put up for sale.

At its greatest extent, between 1884 and 1952, the complex consisted of two boiler houses with condensing engines, a chimney, coal cellars, workshop, cooling pond, leat, and an underground reservoir.  Situated on top of a naturally fissured chalk hollow, it provided vast quantities of water to the rapidly growing towns of Hove and its larger neighbour, the fashionable seaside resort of Brighton, for more than a century.  As new sources of water were found elsewhere and more modern equipment installed to exploit them, the pumping station's importance declined, and by 1971 the Brighton Water Department had closed it and threatened the complex with demolition.  An industrial archaeologist offered to restore the buildings and machinery in return for a lease from the Brighton Water Corporation, and a charitable trust was formed to enable this.  Expertise developed by the Engineerium's employees and volunteers was exploited across the world: they founded museums, undertook restoration projects and trained young people in engineering heritage conservation. Another enthusiast subsequently bought the complex, and as of  it is closed to the public while more restoration and extension work takes place.

The High Victorian Gothic buildings are a landmark in Hove, and are a good example of the 19th-century ethos that "utility definitely does not equal dullness" in industrial buildings.  Polychrome brickwork, moulded dressings and facings, decorative gables and elaborate windows characterise all the structures – even the  chimney, which stands apart from the main buildings like a campanile.  English Heritage has listed the complex for its architectural and historical importance, giving its structures five separate listings: the former boiler house and the chimney are both listed at Grade II* – the second-highest designation – and the former coal shed, the cooling pond and leat and the tall flint and brick wall surrounding the site each have the lower Grade II status.

As well as the restored pumping station equipment, the complex has a wide range of exhibits: more than 1,500 were in place less than a year after it opened.  These include a 19th-century horse-drawn fire engine, traction engines, veteran motorcycles, Victorian household equipment and old tools.  A French-built horizontal steam engine dating from 1859 is the principal exhibit.  Until its closure in 2006, the Engineerium used its exhibits to educate and promote the study of industrial history: it has been called "the world's only centre for the teaching of engineering conservation", and was central to the activities of the English Industrial Heritage Year in 1993. For many years, the larger and indigenous exhibits were fully operational and in steam at weekends.

History

Brighton and neighbouring Hove, on the English Channel coast between the South Downs and the sea, were built on top of a vast aquifer of chalk.  A regular supply of naturally pure water was always available from this natural reservoir, and in the settlements' early days many wells were sunk to exploit it.  The rapid growth of Brighton in the 18th and early 19th century, followed by similar expansion in Hove, put pressure on the local authorities to provide more sources and a better supply system, though: wells became increasingly contaminated by sewage from cesspits, and some had to be blocked because they were so polluted, reducing the two towns' water supply further.  The first local water company—the Brighton, Hove and Preston Waterworks Company—was founded on 16 June 1834 by means of an Act of Parliament; it built a waterworks on the road to Lewes and provided piped water for two hours per day to a few wealthy customers.  This facility had two 20-horsepower beam engines.

By the 1850s, more water was needed for the continually expanding population: the intermittent supply from the Lewes Road waterworks was the only alternative to wells and boreholes.  In 1853, a new company was formed with the aim of introducing a large-scale, consistent supply to Brighton, Hove and surrounding villages.  The Brighton, Hove and Preston Constant Water Service Company bought its predecessor, the Waterworks Company, in 1854.  By the time it was in turn acquired by Brighton Corporation in 1872 (by means of another Act of Parliament), it was pumping  per day to 18,000 houses in Brighton, Hove and the surrounding villages of Falmer, Hangleton, Ovingdean, Patcham, Preston and Rottingdean.

The company employed eminent civil engineer Thomas Hawksley to find a suitable site for a new pumping station.  Hawksley built more waterworks than any of his Victorian counterparts: he oversaw more than 150 schemes in Britain and abroad.  In 1858, he advised the company that the shallow chalk valley at Goldstone Bottom, at the south end of West Blatchington village just outside Hove, would be a good candidate for exploratory drilling.  Test wells were sunk, and confirmed his impression.  The company bought the  of land in 1862, and in 1865 it was granted permission to build a pumping station on the site.  By this stage, the Lewes Road facility was suffering from pollution, and the opening of another pumping station at Falmer and the building of more reservoirs had not been sufficient to satisfy demand.

Work took place during 1866, and the facility opened in that year with the name Goldstone Pumping Station.  The Brighton, Hove and Preston Constant Water Service Company operated it until its acquisition by Brighton Corporation.  In its original form, the complex consisted of a boiler house and adjacent engine room, coal cellars and a chimney described by one historian as "truly monumental", all built of polychrome brick.  The engine room housed a 120-horsepower beam engine made by Charles Amos of London-based manufacturer Easton and Amos.  It was a compound engine of the type patented by engineer Arthur Woolf.  Water was drawn from a  well which started immediately below the engine, which was known as the "Number 1 Engine".  It was driven by three Lancashire boilers with twin furnaces, which were fed by two coal cellars.  Up to  of water could be pumped per hour.

In 1872, ownership of Goldstone Pumping Station and all other water facilities in the Brighton area passed to Brighton Corporation, which formed a new committee called the Brighton Water Corporation to operate them.  Demand for water continued to rise, so in 1876 the corporation undertook a major expansion of the pumping station.  A second engine room was added, and a separate coal storage shed was built in the grounds.  Workshop facilities were also provided, with a range of machine tools, forge, lathe and planer and a separate Easton and Amos steam engine, apparently left over from The Great Exhibition.  The new engine house was equipped with the "Number 2 Engine"—a 250-horsepower Woolf compound unit built by the firm of Easton and Anderson and with a pumping capacity of  per hour.  It was powered by three more Lancashire boilers.  Mayor of Brighton Henry Abbey fired up the engine for the first time on 26 October 1876; his visit, with members of the Water Corporation committee, was recorded on a plaque in the engine room.  A network of arched tunnels were built to link the new coal shed, the workshop and the firing platform of the boiler room.  The subterranean passages were used by coal trucks.

The next extension took place in 1884.  A cooling pond and a leat (an artificial waterway) were built on land behind the pumping station, and a new  underground reservoir was built by J.T. Chappell.  It ran for  westwards from the complex.  Brighton Water Corporation spent £11,000 on this work and on the building of two other reservoirs in Brighton, at Dyke Road and Race Hill.  All three were built of tile, brick and Portland cement.  They were constantly replenished by a -per-minute inflow from numerous natural fissures in the chalk.

Because the surrounding area became substantially urbanised in the interwar period, the water was treated with ozone from 1937 to disinfect it.  Meanwhile in 1934, the boilers powering the Number 2 Engine were replaced by four new models of the same type, built by the Blackburn-based Yates and Thom company.  Their capacity was greater: they could each generate  of steam per hour.  The pumping station soon went into decline, though.  Electric pumps became available in the 1940s, and one was installed in the Number 1 Engine room; the engine itself was decommissioned at that time.  The four new Lancashire boilers were in full-time use for only 18 years: Number 2 Engine was taken out of service in 1952, although it was maintained for a further two years in case it was required.  Several pumping stations had been newly built or rebuilt since World War II—at Aldrington, Falmer, Mile Oak, Newmarket Down (near Lewes), Patcham and Sompting—and the old Lewes Road source, closed in 1903 because of pollution, came back into use.  The corporation increased its supplies further by acquiring waterworks in Peacehaven and Lewes in the 1950s.  The Goldstone Pumping Station was considered outdated and no longer required, and in 1971 the corporation announced plans to build a small electric pumphouse on the site, demolish the 19th-century buildings and scrap the steam-era equipment.

Jonathan Minns, a London-based steam and engineering expert, immediately set about trying to save the buildings and their contents.  He applied to the Historic Buildings Council for England (the forerunner of the present English Heritage body) for listed status to be granted to the buildings in the complex.  This was granted on 17 June 1971, and in the following year the Department of the Environment issued a preservation order preventing demolition or significant alteration of the buildings.  Minns acquired the lease of the complex in 1974, and planned to restore it from its derelict state and establish an industrial museum and educational centre.  He also set up a trust to run it.  By this time, the complex had a new owner: the Water Act 1973 restructured the water industry in England and Wales, transferring ownership of water infrastructure from local authorities to 10 government-controlled regional companies.  Brighton Water Corporation became part of the Southern Water Authority, and it was this entity which granted the lease to Minns.

Minns had only £350 when he started work on the Engineerium, but more money soon arrived in the form of grants and donations.  The Southern Water Authority gave the trust £22,000, the Department of the Environment granted £40,000, and the trust received the largest historic buildings grant awarded in Sussex up to that point in 1975.  In October of that year, Minns and eight volunteers began to restore the complex and its machinery, which were in a state of disrepair.  The boiler house and Number 2 Engine were the priority, but before they could be started the workshop had to be repaired so that its equipment could be used to carry out the necessary work elsewhere.

The boiler house and Number 2 Engine were in a particularly bad condition: the roof was wrecked, the metal fixtures were corroded, moss was growing on exposed surfaces and the boilers were not operational.  Number 2 Engine had not been steamed since 1954, and had to be taken apart and rebuilt while the building was restored around it.  Every moving part was cleaned by hand, and the exterior was repainted in its correct colour after the original paintwork was discovered under layers of mould and rust.  The eight men worked for about six months on these tasks; Number 2 Engine was successfully fired up again on 14 March 1976 after the two renovated Lancashire boilers were tested and inspected by safety officials (the other two were left in their unrestored state).

The complex was first opened to the public on Good Friday 1976.  The official reopening, on 26 October 1976 (exactly 100 years after Number 2 Engine was first fired up), came after the coal store was converted into an exhibition and educational area.  At this time, it was named the Brighton and Hove Engineerium; the complex was given its present name on 30 May 1981.  By this time, about 1,500 exhibits were on display, and the boilers and Number 2 Engine were fired up every weekend.  The cost of running the Engineerium and employing 18 people (including six professional engineers) was running at about £250,000 per year.  Although the Southern Water Authority, which still owned the site, paid for improvements in 1983, and grants came in from East Sussex County Council and Hove Borough Council, there was no financial backing from central government—although the Engineerium was acknowledged as a national and international leader in industrial heritage and "the world's only centre for the teaching of engineering conservation".  (Employees of the Engineerium have helped to set up or renovate more than 20 similar institutions across the world, and it was designated as England's South East Regional Centre during Industrial Heritage Year in 1993.)  The centre's second royal visit, by the Duke of Kent in 1993, coincided with a fundraising plea for £4 million, to be spent on extensions to the exhibition space and workshop; Minns also applied unsuccessfully for a National Lottery grant.  Vodafone paid for the right to attach a mobile phone mast to the chimney, though.

Ongoing funding problems caused the Engineerium to close in 2006, and the complex and its contents were put up for auction by Bonhams.  The inventory was split into hundreds of separate lots, and the buildings themselves were valued at £1.25 million.  Just before the auction was due to begin, a local businessman and enthusiast offered £2 million for the buildings and more than £1 million for the contents conditional on his being donated half of the Minns Collection.  This was accepted, and on 10 May 2006 the Engineerium Trust assets passed into Mike Holland's ownership.

The Engineerium stayed shut while its new owner invested in improvements and extensions.  In February 2010, he stated that he expected the Engineerium to reopen within a year.  On 10 October 2010, it was opened for a day to raise money for charity; the Number 2 Engine was demonstrated and many steam engines and other exhibits from the museum's own collection and from outside were on display.  In August 2011, Brighton and Hove City Council approved a planning application for some renovation and remodelling work, including an extension.  Structural engineers found that part of the building was in poor condition, and in January 2012 a further application was submitted to seek permission to demolish and rebuild part of the machine room.  General restoration work began in October 2012, supported by a second open day.

Jonathan Minns died on 13 October 2013, aged 75.  Two years later, an arson attack damaged the chimney.  In 2017 the owner, Mike Holland, was sent to prison for manslaughter. In March 2018 the entire complex was put up for sale.

Architecture

The Engineerium has been described by Brighton historian Clifford Musgrave as an "unusually fine asset" for Brighton and Hove and by fellow historian Ken Fines "a splendid example of Victorian industrial engineering".  The buildings have intricately patterned polychrome brickwork, and the  chimney to the south is also finely detailed and is a landmark in Hove.  Both the buildings and the machinery inside demonstrate the widespread belief among Victorian designers and architects that every object and building, no matter how commonplace or humble, should be elaborately and expansively embellished.

On the main buildings, the walls consist of bands of red, yellow and purplish-blue brick with moulded layers and coping.  The ground floor has red brickwork with a rusticated appearance.  The cast-iron windows are set in round-arched openings below a string course which runs around the whole building and consists of alternate patterns of red and black brick.  The slate roof has flat-topped gables set above pediments at the top of each engine room.  The two engine rooms are two-storey and have a three-bay, three-window range; they flank the single-storey boiler room which also has three bays.  The left- and right-hand bays are recessed; all have windows that are similar to those of the engine rooms.

The chimney stands about  south of the engine rooms and boiler house.  The rectangular, campanile-style structure stands on a rusticated base with a tapering plinth below it.  Above this is a moulded cornice.  The chimney itself tapers slightly and has tall arched panels on each face, forming slight recesses.  An entablature runs all the way round, linking these.  The brickwork is of the same colours and detailing as the other buildings.

The former coal shed (now the exhibition hall) and its attached workshops are of red and brown brick with coping on the walls and a shallow slate roof.  The workshops, which do not contribute to the architectural interest of the building, are a perpendicular adjunct to the rear of the coal shed, so the building has an overall L-shape.  Sloping land gives the building a single storey at the front (north) end and a second lower storey towards the rear.  The three-bay north façade has three arched entrances; the smaller flanking pair have replacement doors.

Standing in the grounds behind the complex, the cooling pond measures  and has a leat around three sides; it opens out on the southwest side.  It is surrounded by small walls of red brick and terracotta.  Pipework connects the leat to the boiler house, from which hot water flows; heat exchange takes place in the cooling pond; and cold water is returned to be used in the boilers.

Tall flint and brick walls, dating from 1866, surround the complex on all sides.  Small flints laid in courses form the main building material on three sides.  Other parts have red brickwork with inset flints, and the main entrance has red-brick piers with knapped flintwork.  There are also iron railings and gates with the fleur-de-lis emblem.  The walls have recesses on the inside and outside at irregular intervals; one on the outside of the south wall contains a drinking fountain with a panel imploring users to .  Flints are prevalent in this downland area; so many were found when the pumping station was built that the contractors fashioned them into a deliberately ancient-looking folly on the southwest corner of the engine rooms.

Exhibits

The Engineerium has hundreds of exhibits relating to the history of engineering and steam power.  Many are on display in the exhibition hall, which occupies the former coal storage shed.  The central feature of the hall is a Corliss steam engine built in France in 1859.  American inventor George Henry Corliss patented the design in 1849 and became president of The Corliss Steam Engine Company.  The valve gear he invented improved the efficiency of horizontal reciprocating engines more than any other innovation.  The Engineerium's example was assembled in 1859 by the Lille-based company Crepelle & Grand.  It was shown at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1889, where it won first prize.  It was then used for more than 50 years at L'Hôpital Émile-Roux in Limeil-Brévannes.  It was bought by Jonathan Minns, taken apart, brought to the Engineerium and reassembled in 1975.  The engine can generate 91 horsepower; its ,  flywheel turns 80 times a minute; and the whole machine weighs .

The Engineerium also has a horse-drawn fire engine dating from 1890.  Originally owned by the local authority in Barnstaple, Devon, the Shand Mason & Company vehicle was bought and restored by the museum's employees.  It is a vertical steam engine with two cylinders and a pair of pistons flanking a central crank.  A steam traction engine built in 1886 by Marshall, Sons & Company has also been restored.  A range of veteran motorcycles are on display; the oldest is an Ariel Motorcycles vehicle built in 1915.

Elsewhere in the complex, smaller steam engines are on display, alongside Victorian tools and domestic equipment such as stoves.  Much of the equipment in the workshop is also original, such as the main forge and a heavy-duty metal lathe.  The single-cylinder Easton and Amos steam engine used to power the belts which drive the machine tools in the workshop was already several years old when the Goldstone Pumping Station acquired it in 1875.

From the beginning, the overriding purpose of the collection of exhibits was to portray and explain the history and development of civil and mechanical engineering and British industry, through both the restoration of the pumping station's original equipment and the acquisition of other pieces associated with industrial pioneers such as James Watt, Michael Faraday and George Stephenson.  An example is a model of Stephenson's Locomotion No 1 engine, which was valued at £75,000 by Bonhams when the Engineerium was up for auction in 2006.

Heritage status
When Jonathan Minns, who later bought the complex, found in 1971 that it was threatened with demolition, he successfully sought to get it listed by the Historic Buildings Council for England (the predecessor of English Heritage).  The organisation granted listed status in five separate parts on 7 June 1971, covering the pumping station's five main structures.  The boiler rooms and engine house were jointly listed at Grade II*, as was its free-standing chimney.  Three more structures were listed at Grade II: the cooling pond and leat, the coal storage shed and the flint and brick walls surrounding the complex.  Grade II* is the second highest of the three designations awarded to listed buildings; such buildings are defined as being "particularly important ... [and] of more than special interest".  As of February 2001, the boiler house and chimney represented two of the 70 Grade II*-listed buildings and structures, and 1,218 listed buildings of all grades, in the city of Brighton and Hove.  Grade II is the lowest status, given to "nationally important buildings of special interest".  In February 2001, there were 1,124 such buildings in the city.

In 1982, an  zone incorporating the whole Engineerium complex became a conservation area—one of 34 such areas in the city of Brighton and Hove.

The Netherfield Ball
The ball at Netherfield is a very important moment, as first and foremost, Darcy and Elizabeth dance – finally! It is a crucial moment because it shows you that because Darcy has singled Elizabeth out from all the other woman present, so he must be in some way inclined towards her and find her more than just "tolerable"...
Dancing during the Regency era was a very important social event as it was at a ball that the ladies would hope to find a husband and vice versa, or in some cases, their mothers would hope to find their daughters a husband, wealthy if possible! The woman could also 'show off' how well they could dance *cough Caroline cough*, and their ability to dance and how well they were dressed reflected on how wealthy and respectable they were considered to be. Also, during a dance it was the only time where a man and a woman would be allowed physical contact and free conversation – no chaperon! It was the gentleman's duty to dance with as many women as possible which is why Darcy's behaviour at the Meryton ball unacceptable, in society's eyes (and in Mrs Bennet's!), "He danced only four dances, though gentlemen were scarce; and, to my certain knowledge, more than one young lady was sitting down in want of a partner." If the lady was asked for her hand, she would be obliged to accept it, except Lizzy doesn't like to be ruled by society, so refuses Darcy the first time!
Elizabeth has just had the mortification of dancing two embarrassing dances with Collins "when she found herself suddenly addressed by Mr. Darcy who took her so much by surprise that, without knowing what she did, she accepted him." This is an important development in Darcy and Elizabeth's relationship as at the Meryton dance, Darcy had declared Elizabeth not handsome enough to dance with, and then at another assembly, Elizabeth had refused to dance with him because of her prejudice towards him – well you know what they say, third time lucky! So she agrees to dance with him, yet if I remember correctly, she had stated after the Meryton ball "never to dance with him"... I think Lizzy accepting him is surprising as she is so against Darcy and very strong-willed so dancing with one of her greatest enemies isn't what you would have expected Lizzy's reaction to be, surely she could have come up with a witty turn down? Or maybe she did, deep down, actually want to dance with him ;) or maybe, she was just so surprised that she went speechless! Charlotte Lucas tries to console her friend by telling her "you will find him very agreeable" but in reply Lizzy explains "That would be the greatest misfortune of all! To find a man agreeable whom one is determined to hate!" as Lizzy is 'determined' to hate Darcy! Charlotte also advises Lizzy "not be a simpleton, and allow her fancy for Wickham to make her appear unpleasant in the eyes of a man ten times his consequences" as it is clear that Lizzy is quite keen on Wickham, and Charlotte doesn't want her friend to embarrass herself by behaving unacceptably which she could easily because of her emotional state and feelings against Darcy. When they take up their places to dance it says "and reading in her neighbours' looks, their equal amazement in beholding it" because as well as her amazement in dancing opposite Darcy, the others in the ballroom seemed equally as surprised because they all, just as Lizzy, considered him to be a proud, unsociable man!
Lizzy is by this point very much against Darcy and it is clear that she wants to avoid pleasing him and if possible, insult and tease him in her witty way! She had thought that because they remained silent for the first few minutes of the dance, it was to remain that way but then she thought "it would be the greater punishment to her partner to oblige him to talk," as she knew that from previous observations, Darcy didn't like talking to people he didn't know or was barely acquainted with – actually quite a clever move! This is an example of Lizzy mischievous side, which she has plenty of!
After failing to make Darcy continue a conversation from a general remark about the dance, she then reminds Darcy of the importance of being able to carry out a conversation by saying to him "It is your turn to say something now, Mr. Darcy.—I talked about the dance, and you ought to make some kind of remark on the size of the room, or the number of couples" which is a very brave and forward statement from Lizzy as she is almost telling Darcy how he should behave! (ohhhhh!) His reply to this of his willingness to say whatever Lizzy wished him to say seems very obliging and unlike Darcy showing you that he could be trying to please her and therefore he could be quite interested in her! Lizzy then explains how that answer will service but adds "Perhaps by and by I may observe that private balls are much pleasanter than public ones" which is not really Lizzy's opinion but more what Lizzy thinks is Darcy's opinion! After stating that they had said enough and should now remain silent, Darcy continues the conversation with "Do you talk by rule then, while you are dancing?" I think this is either Darcy wishing to talk to Lizzy more and discover more about her, or just Darcy not knowing what else to say! Or, perhaps, it could even be that although he is a man of high social status, he may not really know how he is supposed to act during a dance due to his dislike of the amusement and therefore his lack of practice – just a thought! In her reply, she mentions how "It would look odd to be entirely silent for half an hour together;" as it was a dance that would provide the opportunity of talking to your partner alone and for a considerable amount of time. This shows us that Lizzy is well aware of the purpose of dancing and all the correct etiquette even if she does not always wish to follow the rules – she really is against society's rules! Lizzy's comment on their character "for I have always seen a great similarity in the turn of our minds. We are each of an unsocial, taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we except to say something that will amaze the whole room" is clearly sarcastic! And Darcy recognises her sarcasm and tells her that it's a very inaccurate picture of her character and he's not sure it describes him correctly either, although Lizzy thinks it does. We can see that Darcy is beginning to realise her dislike of him as he says "You think it a faithful portrait undoubtedly". Therefore, we know that Lizzy is making her opinion very clear to him and not conducting herself the way she should! But I'm sure that is what makes the conversation fun for Lizzy!
There is then a few more minutes silence until Darcy enquires whether "she and her sisters did not very often walk to Meryton" which shows you that Darcy is trying his best to please Lizzy by obliging her with conversation, and to prove he can conduct a conversation ;) This, unfortunately, was too much of a temptation to resist for Lizzy of bringing up her new acquaintance in Wickham. Uh oh! "The effect was immediate." It is clear that this subject is very distressing for Darcy and Lizzy's gratified that it seems to upset him – which is mean! ;) Darcy explains that Mr. Wickham has qualities that enable him to make friends but not to retain them, referring to the lost friendship between him and Wickham. To this remark, Lizzy answers "He has been so unlucky as to lose your friendship". Again, sarcastic as Lizzy does not like having Darcy as an acquaintance and she probably thinks that Wickham is better off not having Darcy as a friend either! It says how Darcy "seemed desirous to change the subject" – bless him! You have to feel for Darcy!
It is at this point when they are interrupted by Sir William Lucas who comments on how "such very superior dancing is not often seen". He then explains his wish "to have this pleasure often repeated, especially when a certain desirable event, my dear Miss Eliza (glancing at her sister and Bingley) shall take place." In this remark he is alluding to the hope of a forth coming wedding between Jane and Bingley – Mrs Bennet is not the only one to have noticed the attachment! Also, the use of the word 'desirable' is showing how advantageous the connection would be! This remark is what brings the possible event to the attention of Darcy and is one of the major reasons for splitting them up shortly after. It says how "Sir William's allusion to his friend seemed to strike him forcibly," as Darcy can't hide his prejudice toward a marriage between Jane and Bingley.
This interruption is greatly received by Darcy in that he hoped it would allow them to change the subject of their conversation away from Wickham and he tries to make this clear by declaring that "Sir William's interruption has made me forget what we were talking of." But Lizzy hasn't forgotten! Yet, she replies that they weren't really talking of anything and had "tried two or three subjects already without success and what we are to talk of next I cannot imagine". Their relationship here seems very dysfunctional and they seem to be quite awkward in each other's company, especially on Darcy's side, which would have been worsened by the mention of Wickham. However, Darcy tries again to change the mood of their conversation and make them less unhappy in each other's company by bringing up the subject of books, because Darcy knows her to be a reader from the time at Netherfield. This doesn't really go down well with Lizzy as she says that they can't possibly read the same books, to which Darcy says "We can compare our different opinions". But, poor Darcy, Lizzy doesn't think a ballroom is a place to discuss books because her head is "always full of something else." – namely Wickham. Lizzy wants to question and abuse Darcy further on this subject and tries to broach it from a different angle. "I remember hearing you once say, Mr. Darcy, that you hardly ever forgave, that your resentment once created was unappeasable. You are very cautious, I suppose, as to its being created" and "and never allow yourself to be blinded by prejudice?" are two question which induce Darcy to ask "to what these questions tend?" She explains that she is unable to figure out his character because she has heard such contradictory accounts of him. He then answers "I can readily believe it", poor Darcy is aware of the varying opinions of his character, and as we have seen from an early conversation between them, he knows that he has flaws in his character. Darcy is trying to get out of this interrogation as "there is reason to fear that the performance would reflect no credit on either" as he does not wish to be embarrassed, but also possibly he does not want Lizzy to be embarrassed either – aww! This is again quite considerate on his part. She says she may not have another opportunity of taking his likeness as she doesn't think she will see him again! Nor does she really want to see him again!
On this remark, before Lizzy could tease him anymore on his flaws, they parted "and on each side dissatisfied, though not to an equal degree" as Darcy was not so displeased as Lizzy was and even after all the incivility she had shown towards him, he still forgave her because of his feelings towards her and "directed all his anger against another" – Wickham. He blamed Wickham for Lizzy impoliteness towards him and forgave her for questioning him on the subject. This shows you how Darcy really must like Lizzy if he is willing to forgive her that easily!
Austen uses mainly dialogue with little narration during this scene which helps to create the atmosphere between Darcy and Lizzy and it also makes you feel part of their conversation!
This is clearly a very important section. It shows how Darcy's feelings toward Lizzy are changing and how Lizzy is becoming more and more prejudice against Darcy (unfortunately, based on what turns out to be false accusations.) I think Darcy's willingness to forgive Lizzy for her appalling behaviour during the dance, and asking her for her hand in the first place would slightly improve your opinion of Darcy, even though your made to follow Lizzy's view and believe the story of his background with Wickham. It may also provoke some thoughts as to whether Wickham's story is completely reliable, especially as Lizzy is shortly after cautioned by Caroline that he is not to be trusted, and by Jane that he might not be a respectable young. Clever scene Austen!
Your affectionate friend,

I just saw the bbc miniseries and Mr collins is creepy! I have just begun to appreciate the 2005 collins!! The netherfield ball in the 2005 movie was more grandly described but in the 1995 one, the characters were put more into focus.It is definitely one of the most imp. parts of the book.
Lizzie 4 June 2012 at 13:19
it is more grandly done i agree, with all the others 'disappearing' and them stopping in the dance.
but i think the dance is better really in the 1995 one, as it is shown more and the characters are focused on as you say! such an important moment :)

Paul Newman's Good Looks Through the Years
Plus, his beautiful 50-year marriage.
By Sam Escobar
Remembered as one of the most talented and generous stars in the history of Hollywood, Paul Newman's legacy lives on in more ways than one. His award-winning roles in films like The Color of Money and his achievements in racing always come to mind, of course, but the kindness Newman and his equally iconic wife Joanne Woodward showed towards others through their philanthropy is what fans truly remember.
On top of his remarkable generosity, it didn't hurt that Newman somehow maintained his good looks from the '50s all the way to the 2000s. Take a glance back through the years — and see just how pretty those baby blues, and ... well ... the rest of that gorgeous face, looked throughout his life.
1 1956: Serious On Set
Though he later added "director, racing driver, and philanthropist" to his resume, Newman got his start in theater, studying at the Yale School of Drama in Connecticut and the Actors Studio in New York City.
2 1958: Wedding Bells
Newman and Woodward cut the cake on their wedding day, January 29th, embarking on a remarkable 50-year marriage together. And 1958 was an especially great year for Woodward: just two months after marrying Newman, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in The Three Faces of Eve.
3 1960: Baby Blues
Who says women are the only ones who can do a perfect pout? This fellow's got it down pat.
4 1962: Casually Handsome
One of our favorite Newman styles: an unbuttoned shirt and chic accessories from the set of Sweet Bird of Youth.
5 1970s: Rugged Racer
Despite being colorblind, Newman was a huge fan of auto racing. In fact, his team won first in its class at Le Mans, a staggering 24-hour endurance race in France, in 1979.
6 1984: Mustached Man
Hey, it was the '80s — everyone had a 'stache! Naturally, Newman nailed this facial hair changeup.
7 2005: Endless Love
47 years after they were first married — and five decades after they first met — Woodward and Newman's beautiful marriage was still going strong.
8 2006: Friends Forever
Decades after pairing up for their acclaimed roles in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) and The Sting (1973), Newman and Robert Redford remained friends, seen here at the Sundance Institute 25th Anniversary celebration in 2006.
Sam Escobar Contributor Sam's enthusiasm for makeup is only rivaled by their love of all things relating to cats.
