Artist's Spotlight: A Boogie
Laura Reed
Julius Dubose aka A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is a Bronx, New York Hip Hop artist who was born on December 6th, 1995. He began rapping at the age of twelve after listening to fellow Hip Hop emcees Kanye West and 50 Cent. While he was attending Eagle Academy in the Bronx, A Boogie expanded upon rapping during his Freshman year, performing rhymes at lunchtime that he had written and stored in a large notebook that he carried with him.
Growing up, A Boogie often got into legal trouble, mainly for selling drugs. After finding out about A Boogie's drug related activities, his parents sent him to Florida to live with grandparents. While in Florida, he was kept under house arrest and would find himself trying to perfect his self-composed rhymes. He even built an amateur studio inside his grandparent's home. Following his graduation from high school, Dubose began to focus on music while working jobs in different sectors including construction and pizza delivery.
A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie's music career began at the age of 19 with the track "Temporary", which the rapper released on Soundcloud. In 2015, A Boogie relocated back to New York and in an attempt to launch his rap career, he, along with fellow New Yorkers, Don Q, Quincy "QP" Acheampong & Bubba created Highbridge the Label and set up a home studio. Boogie then released his first project which was a mixtape entitled 'Artist' on February 14th, 2016.
In July 2016, he signed a deal with Atlantic Records. In September of the same year Boogie opened up for Drake and Future during their Summer Sixteen tour. He was also featured on the BET Hip Hop Awards alongside fellow rappers Don Q, Russ, Kent Jones and Nick Grant. In 2017, A Boogie was featured on XXL magazine's 2017 Freshman class along with artists such as PnB Rock, Playboi Carti, XXXtentacion, Ugly God, and Kyle, to name a few.
Over his career, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie has released a total of 3 studio albums, 'The Bigger Artist' (2017), which peaked at number four on the Billboard 200, 'Hoodie Szn' (2018), which peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and 'Artist 2.0' (2020), which also peaked at number two on the Billboard 200.
A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie's music is available on all music streaming platforms.

Assumption, IL - Farmers and commercial grain operations will soon have a more efficient alternative to grain bin sweeps, brooms and shovels for bin cleanout with new FlexWave® technology being demonstrated by GSI (Grain Systems, Inc.) at the 2017 Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois.
Currently, standard grain bins are emptied through a combination of gravity and augers or bin sweep technology.
However, with these methods, there's always a remaining level of grain on the bin floor that needs to be swept out.
It's hard, time-consuming, dusty work that can also be dangerous if this chore is performed while an auger is still running.
GSI's new, patent-pending FlexWave technology can eliminate this labor-intensive and inefficient task.
The system utilizes two large liners that alternately inflate and deflate, gently pushing the remaining grain into a centrally-located conveyor trough for removal, without the need to enter the bin.
A control system automatically senses the amount of grain and shuts off when the process has been completed.
"FlexWave technology results in 99 percent cleanout and eliminates the risk of entrapment from falling grain or auger entanglement since it is truly a zero-entry bin unload method," said Greg Trame, GSI director of engineering.
Trame said FlexWave is also more reliable than conventional methods, since there are no exposed mechanical components.
Another advantage is that perforated bin floors are eliminated, increasing capacity.
Each inflatable liner can unload more than 100 tons of grain using less than one psi of air pressure.
The liners are constructed of durable, commercial-grade material designed to last over 30 years under normal conditions.
In addition, they can easily be repaired in case of accidental puncture with a simple glue patch because of the system's low-pressure operation, which is gentler on grain than traditional options, protecting grain quality and profits.
Traditional grain hopper tanks are emptied by gravity through a cone at the bottom.
With FlexWave, a flat bottom storage tank can be used instead, which not only increases capacity but also eliminates the need to install legs since it can sit on the ground.
"FlexWave technology is another unload option added to GSI's complete product portfolio and can be used with any standard current unload system," Trame added.
Field trials are underway, he said, to ensure proper aeration is maintained to provide long-term, safe storage.
The first FlexWave offering is planned for 2018.
Trame noted there is a lot of potential for future applications with FlexWave, since any equipment that relies on a hopper cone for gravity-flow cleanout can benefit from this technology.

hard lockdown
NL still has some tough months ahead, Health Min. says about pandemic
"All in all, we still have some tough months ahead of us," Minister Hugo de Jonge of Public Health said to broadcaster NOS before a crisis management meeting on the coronavirus pandemic on Tuesday.
The meeting included most of the Ministers directly involved in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, Security Council chairman Hubert Bruls, and Jaap van Dissel of public health institute RIVM, among others. They discussed the measures in place against the coronavirus, and further measures that need to be taken, ahead of Prime Minister Mark Rutte's press conference later on Tuesday.
The implementation of a curfew was also on the agenda, Minister De Jonge said, though it is unlikely that it will be announced tonight. "All options are on the table, because we are dealing with a very serious virus," he said.
The Prime Minister is expected to announce that the current hard lockdown will be extended by at least two weeks. There is a possibility that primary schools may be allowed to reopen sooner, by January 25 according to sources, but the government is still awaiting the results of a study into how the highly contagious B117 strain of the virus affects young children.

If you wish to become a veterinary technician (vet tech) in Ohio there are a number of vet tech schools in Ohio where you take your diploma course in Animal Health Technology for qualification as a vet tech.
To qualify to get a license to practice as a vet tech the school has to be accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) or the Ohio Veterinary Medicine Licensing Board (OVMLB).
The other requirement is that you have passed the Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE). A 75% pass is required to enable the OVMLB to grant a licensing certificate. Unlike many other states Ohio does not have a separate state exam for vet techs.
It is not possible to get a vet tech license without passing the VTNE. No amount of experience working for a veterinarian as an assistant will make you eligible for licensing.
The AVMA has accredited 10 schools in Ohio.
The Community College was founded in 1963. It received its AVMA accreditation in 1974. It is switching from quarters to semesters in autumn 2012. It offers a two year course. Students can choose a nine quarter evening class course or a seven quarter daytime course.
The Community College was founded in 1963. It was accredited for vet tech technology courses in 1998. It offers a two year 4 semester course for a degree as an Associate of Applied Science degree in Veterinary Technology. It requires grade "C" in one year of high school in English, math and biology and/or chemistry.
Kent State University was accredited by the AVMA in 2008. The curriculum involves 70 semester hours which may be undertaken on a whole time or part time basis, and leading to An Associate in Applied Science degree.
Blue Ash is a regional campus of the University of Cincinnati. It was opened in 1967 and was accredited by the AVMA in 1975. "The program is divided into a freshman year (consisting of general education courses without animal contact) and a sophomore year (composed of both lecture and "hands-on" courses) …..
The sophomore curriculum consists of animal husbandry and diseases, hematology, anatomy and physiology, veterinary medical techniques, parasitology, urinalysis and clinical chemistry and clinical experience obtained outside the university." The freshman year can be done full time or part time. The sophomore year requires full time study.
The Stautzenburger College was founded in 1926. Its main campus is at Maumee and there is a branch campus in Brecksville. The Maumee College was accredited by the AVMA in 1996 and the Brecksville College in 2006. Full time students complete the course in 27 months leading to an Associate degree in Applied Science.
Bradford School was founded in 1911 and was accredited by the AVMA in 2006. It offers an Associate Degree course which full time students can complete in 18 months.
All of these trainings produce a qualification for an Associate of Science Degree in Veterinary Technology.
If you qualify with this degree at one of these schools and pass the national exam you will be eligible to find employment as a vet tech in Ohio and your qualification is likely to be recognized in other states.

Posted by roberttalley in Acts, Holy Spirit, Promises of God, Religion, Sermons, Spiritual Power, Witnessing.
Luke's first book, his gospel begins with the Christmas story. It is, however, just the beginning. Luke goes on to tell us of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. The other writers of gospel did not as far as we know write any further histories. Luke was different. He wrote a sequel. He wrote a man named Theophilus and told him that the story of Jesus did not end but continued in those who believed in Jesus as the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of the Living God.
This sequel we call Acts. Although Jesus is still an important figure in the book of Acts and men like Peter and Paul play important parts in the history, it is the story of the Holy Spirit in the lives of those who follow Christ. Since many of us are followers of Christ, it is important that we know this story. This story, like Luke's gospel begins with a promise and its fulfillment. That promise is to us as believers in Christ and its fulfillment defines the reality of the Christian. This promise is the Holy Spirit and this reality can be described with one word, "power", that is, the power of the Holy Spirit in a believer that enables us to be witnesses of Christ.
A.	Now, this power of the Holy Spirit to witness of Christ's salvation is available the moment you believe. If you compare the passage we have just read with Acts 2:37-38, it is obvious that all that comes with the Holy Spirit is available at the moment of faith. Sometimes the gift of the Holy Spirit was accompanied by miracles but not always. Look again at Acts 2:37-47. It seems that the only ones at this time performing miracles were the apostles but they all received the gift of the Holy Spirit.
In the case of the power of the Holy Spirit to witness, you receive that power at the moment you believe. This was the promise given by Jesus in Luke 24:44-49. It is referred to here in Acts 1:4-5. Jesus compares here the baptism of John with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. There are some significant differences between these two baptisms. The one is physical, the other spiritual. The one is by man, the other is by God. The one could be seen; the other could not normally be seen. The two baptisms have this in common: both baptisms come after one receives in faith the message of God. When one believed John's message, John would baptize him. When one believes Christ message, the Holy Spirit baptizes him.
Think about the significance of this difference. John could have baptized someone by mistake. There were those who came to John, in whom he recognized that there was no faith in them and whom he refused to baptize. It is possible, though, that he could have baptized someone who had no faith. John was not all-knowing. The Holy Spirit, however, never baptizes the wrong person. All who he baptizes are true believers in Christ (1 Corinthians 12). That is why I am certain that every believer has the power of the Holy Spirit to witness because every believer in Christ is baptized by and with the Holy Spirit.
The Great Commission is closely connected with the Holy Spirit power (John 20:21-23). Although the word for power in Matthew 28:18-20 is "authority" rather than our word here "capability," Matthew's version of the Great Commission also makes it evident that "capability" from God also plays an important part. Jesus ends with this phrase, "And, lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world." Everyone who God wants to fulfill the Great Commission has the promise of the capability through the Holy Spirit to fulfill that commission. We cannot plead lack of ability. God the Father gave us, under the authority of Christ, the ability and capability to witness of Christ the moment we were saved and He will never leave us nor forsake but rather has given us the Spirit of God to be with us, to aid us, to enable us to proclaim the gospel of Christ.
Of course, we should prepare and learn. That is what Jesus is doing in this passage and what he had been doing during the past three years, teaching them and preparing them for the day when they would receive the power of the Holy Spirit. Even at this late date, it seems that they still had some gaps in their knowledge. Look at verses 6-7. Here the disciples are asking about the timing of the kingdom.
The reason these disciples are asking about the kingdom is clear. They know the Old Testament prophecies of Joel 2. In fact, in the next chapter, Peter uses that passage to explain to the multitude at Pentecost that what they were doing in speaking in tongues was simply a manifestation of God's power as was connected in the minds of every Jew, that when the Messiah comes, the people would be endued with the Spirit of God for the purpose of prophesying and revealing God's Word. It was just a foretaste. That prophecy will ultimately be fulfilled when Christ returns to this earth sometime in the future.
Of course, the disciples did not understand that there would be at least two thousand years before Christ would return. You would not have understood it and neither would have I. I think that is why Jesus answers them the way He did.
First of all, you do not need to know when the kingdom will come. You need to trust that the Father's timing is perfect and you need to be patient.
Secondly, you need to know how to spread the news of the kingdom.
1.	He told them what to do, "…be witnesses of Me…" Jesus is the news of the kingdom. It is not primarily about a Jewish kingdom but about a Jewish king. It is not simply about an ethnic people but about a spiritual change to the world order. The only way to accomplish that is for the world to hear about the Jewish king, Jesus the Christ.
This power was accompanied by believers boldly or plainly witnessing of the gospel of Christ. Look at verses 32-36. Peter says in verse 32, we are witnesses of his resurrection. Boldness is implied in the word witness. It is translated occasionally "martyr", one who is willing to die. I do not usually recommend that you witness in such a way that you get fired from your job. We are to be wise as serpents and as harmless as doves. Our witness, however, should be such that we are willing to pay a price to be a witness. I am afraid that most of us, if we had to choose between our job and our witness, we would choose our job. If we had to choose between our family and our witness, we would choose our family. If we had to choose between being accepted and witnessing of the one who has accepted us, who would we choose?
Let us continue reading verses 33-36. Peter's witness was so bold and so plain that many of the hearers, according to Acts 2:37, were cut or pierced to the heart. Perhaps you remember the tragic story how that Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, was suddenly pierced to the heart by the stinger of a stingray and how that he himself pulled the stinger out and then almost immediately died. This is same picture. It was sudden! It had immediate consequences! It resulted in immediate actions! In this case, however, it resulted not in death but in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Let me again emphasize that witnessing by the power of the Holy Spirit was accompanied by boldness, that is, plain speaking (Acts 2:29; used three times in chapter 4). We do not live in a time of bold speech for Christ among Christians. This era we live in is commonly called the postmodern era. Simply put, it means that what is right and wrong changes as culture and standards change. In other words, what is sin in Michigan may not be sin in Ohio and what is good and acceptable in Indiana may be shameful and sinful here. In other words, there is no certainty, there is no plain speech. We look at each other and try to figure out what is right or wrong. Unfortunately, we at times reflect in our lives the post-modern culture.
Some believe that we cannot go long with this type of attitude. Humankind gravitates toward certainty and hope, even if it is a false certainty and hope. The growth of cults and Islam and even of some aspects of evangelical Christianity is evidence to the fact that many people want Yes to mean Yes and No to mean No. In Acts 2 and 4 and other places, we see that these men spoke plainly. They did not dance around issues but plainly gave the truth. The Holy Spirit led them in that and empowered them in that and enabled them with boldness and wisdom to just tell the facts.
Why do we not want to share with each other much less with an unbelieving world, what Christ has done in our lives? I do not have the answer but it surely has nothing to do the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit gives us plain speech, ready speech, boldness to speak of what we know.
Do you have the power of the Holy Spirit to witness? If you are a believer in Christ, the answer is yes. You need to tap into that power. There is no alternative source. the ability to tell the world of Christ is in you right now in the form of a person, the Holy Spirit.
If you have not received Christ, you do not have this power. You need a different power, the power of the gospel. Paul in Romans 1:16 writes, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God to salvation, to everyone who believes, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (Gentile)." You are incapable of saving yourself but the gospel of Christ will save you from your sin if you will believe it. Peter said to the crowd on the day of Pentecost, "Repent and be baptized and you will receive the Holy Spirit." There are two actions implied in that invitation. You need to turn from your sin and you need to turn away from any other way of salvation and turn only to Christ. Turn to Christ today and receive the Holy Spirit!

After you have had the last race of the season, it is a great time to reflect on accomplishments. Many athletes begin by being self-critical of all the things that could have been better. We'll get to that later.
First, take the time to list all the things that went well during the past year. That includes your entire training plan, off-season, race preparation period and the race season itself. Include supporting items such as nutrition, family, massage, etc. Hopefully this is a long list. Leave it open-ended. That is, allow the list to grow as you think of more items to add.
After you've exhausted pen or typing keys on your success list, make a second list. This one is a reflection list of things within your control that you would have changed about the past season. For those of us that are self-critical, the list could be long.
From the list of things you would change about the past season, pick out the top three. What three things would have made the most impact on your race season, if you would have done them differently? Pull these items out and keep them in clear view, posted on your desk, fridge or another good location.
Go back to the "things that went well" list and select the top 10 to 12 items that contributed to your success. Pull these items out to keep in a clearly visible location.
When you sit down to begin planning next season, consult both the top three things to change and the top things that went well. You want to use both to make next season your best yet.

Life After Trek Podcast Episode 21 Featuring Paul McGillion
By Crewman Becky | September 18, 2012 - 10:24 pm
We're pleased to announce episode 21 of our "Life After Trek" podcast, featuring Paul McGillion. Many of you know Paul from his work on Stargate: Atlantis as character Carson Beckett, but did you know that he also had a cameo in J.J. Abrams's Star Trek and was even considered for the character of Scotty?...but I'm getting ahead of the game here.

Dual-Drug Therapy May Boost Odds Against a Tough Breast Cancer
WEDNESDAY, March 27, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- There's good news for women battling a particularly difficult form of advanced breast cancer.
In a new study of patients with so-called "hormone receptor-positive" breast cancer that's spread beyond the breast, women who received a combo of two anti-estrogen drugs right away lived many months more than those who got just one drug, the researchers found.
The drugs -- fulvestrant (Faslodex) and anastrozole (Arimidex) -- appear to work better when given together rather than using fulvestrant as a follow-up drug given after anastrozole, according to the team led by Dr. Rita Mehta. She's a clinical professor at the University of California, Irvine.
"These results are very exciting," said Mehta, who is also a member of the Southwest Oncology Group breast cancer research committee.
"Women who are treated with fulvestrant up front live about eight months longer. That's a lot of extra time to do the things you love with the people you love," she said in an Oregon Health & Science University news release.
"Women who received fulvestrant, right up front, lived longer based on this new long-term analysis. This is credible evidence that combination endocrine therapy should be considered an option for first-line treatment of advanced hormone receptor-positive breast cancer," Mehta said.
One breast cancer specialist who wasn't involved in the research agreed.
"Although metastatic breast cancer is not thought to be curable, it can be controlled for years and converted to a chronic disease that allows patients to carry on with their lives," explained Dr. Alice Police. She directs breast surgery at Northwell Health Cancer Institute in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.
That's true for all advanced breast cancers, including the hormone receptor-positive tumors covered by this study. About two-thirds of all breast cancers are of this type, according to the American Cancer Society.
These hormone-sensitive tumors "love estrogen," Police noted, and so oncologists typically prescribe anti-estrogen drugs to help slow the disease.
"Typically, a patient is treated sequentially with different medications [such as fulvestrant and anastrozole], and switched to a different medication if their cancer spreads or grows," she explained.
But what if women got the two drugs in combination, right away?
To answer that question, Mehta's group tracked outcomes for over 700 postmenopausal women with breast cancer treated at 73 hospitals, clinics and cancer centers across the United States and Canada.
The investigators found that women who received both medicines as their first line of treatment lived an average of eight months longer than those who took anastrozole alone -- 50 months versus 42 months.
The study findings also showed that 42 percent of women who got the combo treatment were alive five years after their treatment, compared with 33 percent of women who got anastrozole alone.
About 45 percent of women treated with anastrozole alone were later treated with fulvestrant, when their cancer got worse or spread. But those who initially received fulvestrant had the best overall survival and progression-free survival, the researchers reported March 27 in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The study also found that patients in the combo-treatment group received lower-than-normal doses of fulvestrant in the trial: 250 milligrams (mg) per month after the first loading dose, compared with the typical 500 mg per month.
The two drugs work in slightly different ways. Anastrozole reduces the body's production of estrogen, while fulvestrant disables the tumor's ability to "feed" on circulating estrogen.
The U.S. National Cancer Institute has more on breast cancer treatment.

The largest urban settlement or settlements within the territory.
Use the place=city tag to identify the largest settlement or settlements within a territory, including national, state and provincial capitals, and other major conurbations.
Place a node at the center of the city, like the central square, a central administrative or religious building or a central road junction and tag it place=city.
name=*: for the name of the city in the primary language for the territory.
population=*: for the population of the city or metropolitan area.
wikipedia=*: Link to the Wikipedia article in the primary language for the city.
wikidata=*: Link to the data set item in Wikidata for this city.
capital=yes for the capital city of the country.
Use name:fr=*, name:ar=* etc for the name of the city in other languages.
Consider also creating nodes for suburbs and neighbourhoods using place=suburb and place=neighbourhood.
Some mappers map cities with an area instead of using a node. Cities often do not have a verifiable outline though and different interpretations of the meaning of areas representing populated places exist - more details can be found on the place key page. This method also looses the information on the city center which is important for data users, in particular for routing. Data users should not expect the area geometries of cities to have a particular meaning.
Smaller charter cities should normally be tagged using place=town to avoid these places being promoted too highly in gazetteer search results. By way of example, the charter city of Alameda in California (population 76,000) is tagged as a town, due to its proximity to the much larger and better known cities of San Francisco (populations 805,000) and Oakland (population 309,000).

Targ, Russell (1934– )
Physicist with parapsychological interests. He was born on
April 11, 1934, in Chicago, Illinois. He studied at Queens College,
New York (B.S., physics, 1954) and completed his graduate
study in physics at Columbia University. He worked
through the 1960s as a senior physicist (plasma and microwaves)
at Technical Research Group, Syosset, Long Island, New
York.
In 1972 he entered Stanford Research Institute as a senior
research physicist, where he collaborated with Harold E. Puthoff
on parapsychological research. Their work on remote viewing
(a form of clairvoyance) became well known in 1977 when
they published Mind Reach; in this publication they argued for
the reality of psychical phenomena. Even earlier on, their work
had become controversial because of their experiments with
metal-bending attempted by psychic Uri Geller. He and Targ
left SRI in 1982 to become partners in Delphi Associates, which
attempted to use psychic phenomena for commercial purposes,
including predictions of changes in silver prices. He has become
president of Bay Research Institute and a staff scientist
at Lockheed Research and Development.

Match Report : 14/01/2017
A Josh Morris wonder goal late in the game gave the Iron all three points, as they defeated Northampton Town 2-1 at Sixfields Stadium.
Kevin van Veen had given Scunthorpe the lead midway through the first half, but Northampton hit back through Alex Revell.
It looked as though that would be how it stayed, but Morris once again came up with the goods - as he has done on many occasions already this season.
United made one change to the team which started the game against Bury last weekend, with Duane Holmes taking the place of Neal Bishop.
The two sides made tentative openings to the match, with the first real meaningful chance not arriving until the 12th minute. It fell to the visitors, but van Veen placed his near post header just wide, after Holmes had cleverly stood the ball up for the Dutchman.
It didn't take long for things to catch light however, as drama would soon ensue in the Scunthorpe penalty area. Luke Daniels did tremendously not once, but twice, to deny goalbound Cobblers efforts, before skipper Stephen Dawson heroically cleared the ball off the goal-line.
Just a matter of minutes later, van Veen planted another header on goal and this time it found the back of the net. Much in the same vein as his last strike against Peterborough, the forward was found by Dawson from the right, and he then put the ball out of the reach of Adam Smith in the Northampton goal.
However, the hosts responded well and got themselves back level shortly ahead of the break. Northampton's build-up play initially was neat and tidy, with the ball eventually finding Matty Taylor on the left flank. The winger then looked up and picked out Revell at the near post, and the striker then powered his header home, despite the best efforts of Daniels.
Revell's equaliser was the last action of the opening period, with both sides going in level at the interval.
The hosts' turnaround was so very nearly completed just prior to the hour mark when Lewin Nyatanga met a corner from the left and crashed his header back where it came from. United had a combination of Dawson and post to thank though, as the ball rebounded away from danger. Graham Alexander's side then subsequently broke in numbers, turning defence into attack brilliantly, but Dawson slightly overhit his pass to Holmes, and the attack fizzled out.
As the match entered into the final 25 minutes, the away side certainly had the impetus. Van Veen then exchanged passes with Dawson on the edge of the penalty area, however United's number 10 could only manage to drag his effort wide.
By this point the Iron were really starting to turn the screw, and they went the closest they'd been to finding the elusive breakthrough when Morris rattled the crossbar from a free kick, 25 yards from goal.
Holmes was becoming central to pretty much all of Scunthorpe's attacks and, with eight minutes left on the clock, the American decided to go for goal himself. His stinging drive from the corner of the penalty area forced Smith into a spillage, but the Cobblers' goalkeeper gathered at the second attempt.
The pressure though did finally pay off, and there were no prizes for guessing who got it, as Morris cracked home his 18th goal of a remarkable season. When the winger got possession there seemed to be little on, but he soon changed that as he unleashed an unstoppable left-footed rocket into the top corner of the goal, to send the travelling section of Iron supporters into hysterics.
The question then was whether the away side could then close out proceedings and, despite a barrage of lofted balls into the Scunthorpe penalty area, Alexander's side held out for a crucial three points.
