The Only State in The US Designed To Be A One-Party Monopoly
Hawaii's journey to a one-party system is a result of different political choices made over the past 200 years. Understanding this journey is vital in dealing head-on with modern Hawaii and its political challenges
After the death of Kamehameha the Great his wife Queen Kaahumanu and his son Liholiho (Kamehameha II) chose to emulate the British monarchy system.
Establishing a monarchy supported by a Hawaiian aristocracy would seem a natural choice in the transition to a more western style of governance. But, establishing an aristocracy in a world moving away from such systems has led to much of what we grapple with today.
By Kamehameha the Third's reign the attempted equal division of land between a handful of Ali'i and the thousands of ordinary native Hawaiians in the Great Mahele of 1848 further helped to tighten the control of an aristocracy (Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian) over the common people.
One can only imagine how different the outcome would have been if the Great Mahele had the wherewithal and foresight to develop a large native Hawaiian middleclass. Instead, it further concentrated landownership into far fewer hands.
This concentration of land and power climaxed in the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of an interim Republic of Hawaii government.
Though calling itself a "republic" it's real task was to protect the interest of the seven dozen inter- connected families and businesses controlling nearly half the land in the islands.
Because this landed aristocracy outlived the Hawaiian monarchy the inevitable outcome was an oligarchy and, following the US annexation, this oligarchy assembled a territorial government designed to protect and continue a monopolistic political system in perpetuity.
Hence, Hawaii both as a territory and state has inherited a political foundation that neglected much of the American democratic process and works to concentrate and restrict political power.
One glaring example of this is the absence of Incorporated Municipalities or independent cities.
Independent cities exist by the tens of thousands throughout the US mainland. The formation of Hawaii territorial/state government eliminated this possibility in favor of merging 19th century political patronage with the remnant of Hawaiian royal prerogatives in the City and County system.
Independent cities residing in a regular county system bring representation closet to the people. As well, they are laboratories of democracy able to build competitive political influence and generate new ideas.
People in Hawaii are accustomed to not having this sort of freedom and political power where people on the mainland would be outraged to the point of rebellion if someone attempted to take that away from them.
Overturning Hawaii's one-party system can't be done by a political opposition party saying, "Put us back in charge of the monopoly", but has to be the voice of reformers saying, "We have a better way".
Waiting for the existing Democratic party monopoly to stumble so badly as to open the possibility of a Republican resurgence is an injustice to the people of Hawaii. Hawaii growth and opportunity is stunted because it is the least political diverse state in the Union.
At least half the voting age populace has effectively no voice in Hawaii's government. New ideas and bold new initiatives will only take place when full representation in a healthy two-party system is finally made possible for the people of Hawaii.
Building A Modern Two-Party System In Hawaii
The existing Republican party in Hawaii is founded, structured, and inherited from the landed aristocracy of the Big Five era.
The existing state party also has the distinction of being the worst performing GOP affiliate in the US. This is despite there being a high identification in the general population with Republican party ideals.
This lack of enthusiasm or trust in the existing GOP in Hawaii is the death knell for any rise in political fortunes. People vote for either a person and/or a party. Without a radical reformation of the existing state GOP the additional 100-150 thousand voters needed to bring the Republican party in Hawaii into parity with the Democrat party is an impossible task.
A New Republican Party of Hawaii is needed to liberate the reform and renewal power of republican ideals from the debilitating legacy of the existing party's historic connection with the aristocrats of the plantation era.
Building a counter governing vision to the Democrat party monopoly in Hawaii through non-profits.
Expecting people to support abandoning 70 years of one-party dominance means acting in ways that show foresight and leadership. Demonstrating a commitment to innovation and reform by rebuilding the Republican party in Hawaii opens the door to new and better ways of serving the people.
Developing non-profits that have the talent and financing needed to think outside the box will prepare the way with both on-going public discourse and in structuring proposed legislation will greatly assist in a renaissance of republican fortunes in our state.
Some potential areas of study could be:
Develop an outline of how separate towns in Hawaii could become incorporated municipalities to ascertain cost, impact, and potential benefit along with a conversion to regular county structures.
Study the full cultural and economic impact of an effective inter-island ferry system.
Develop an all-inclusive view of energy cost, land use and economic development to counter the present anti-development, anti-low-cost energy mindset.
Study the impact of all Hawaiian lands and fiscal assts being removed from state control and being placed in a corporate trust under the full control of native Hawaiians.
Examine the remnants of the landed aristocracy and the impact of large areas of Hawaii being outside of the public trust. Examine attitudes and stigma's that hold Hawaii citizens back from full participation in our shared blessings of freedom and prosperity.
A school voucher system. Schools Boards with at least half the people elected. Breaking-up the centralized DOE.
Using a method of year-round innovation and contact with people at the community level while developing and expanding on better ideas is a proven method of gaining cultural/political influence.
Changing politics in Hawaii cannot be accomplished without hard work, but with a strategic vision that utilizes the talent of Hawaii's innovative and dedicated people it is a doable project.

PORTLAND, Ore. — There are 89 active COVID-19 workplace outbreaks in Oregon as of this week, down from 96 reported last week by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA). Nearly 10,000 people in the state have tested positive for the coronavirus in relation to workplace outbreaks.
Health officials track outbreaks of five or more employees at workplaces where there are at least 30 workers. An outbreak remains active if there has been a case within the past 28 days. The case count for each workplace includes everyone who is linked to the outbreak, whether they are workers or a close contact.
OHA said there have been 53 deaths and 9,967 cases associated with workplace outbreaks in Oregon during the pandemic. That's 194 more cases than officials reported last week.
RELATED: Oregon sets records with 8,687 new coronavirus cases, 366 hospitalizations in one week
The largest active outbreak remains at the Snake River Correctional Institution in Ontario. The outbreak was first identified on June 24 and the case count has continued to rise since then. There have been 547 coronavirus cases linked to the outbreak, with the most recent onset reported on Nov. 17
The three largest active workplace outbreaks in Oregon are at prisons:
Snake River Correctional Institution, Ontario: 547 cases (most)
Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution, Pendleton: 518 cases (second-most)
Oregon State Correctional Institution, Salem: 179 cases (third-most)
The list below includes active workplace outbreaks (Table 7), meaning that there has been a case within the past 28 days.

Food processing and packaging facilities have also been hot spots for COVID-19 outbreaks in the workplace. Lamb Weston East, a potato processing facility in Boardman, has been linked to 86 cases, with the most recent case reported on Nov. 20.
Distribution centers have also been connected to numerous coronavirus outbreaks. Amazon Troutdale has been linked to 97 COVID-19 cases, the fourth-largest workplace outbreak in the state. The Fred Meyer Distribution Center in Clackamas, with 88 associated cases, and the Walmart Distribution Center in Hermiston, connected to 79 cases, are also among the 10 largest active workplace outbreaks.
Health officials also reported a list of 76 workplaces where COVID-19 outbreaks have been resolved (Table 8) over the last eight weeks. Outbreaks are considered resolved if there hasn't been a known case in 28 days.
New to the resolved list is Lamb Weston in Hermiston, which was previously the third-largest active workplace outbreak in the state with 192 associated COVID-19 cases. That outbreak is now considered resolved since the most recent known case was reported on Oct. 25.

Teaching Our Children To Serve
Columbia, Maryland
For years, I wasn't sure if my sons were absorbing what they learned in BridgeKids. I'd ask Elijah what they talked about in class, and he'd look like a deer in headlights or respond with single word answers. When we'd read the Bible, Emmanuel would sometimes act like he'd never heard the story before, even when I knew it was one of the focus Scriptures that week. They never fussed or complained about church, but I was worried they weren't all that engaged, even when I was their class leader.
I really wanted them to have Biblical male role models as well. So I was pleasantly surprised when they began to talk about Mr. Kevin. They were teasing him and poking fun, but I realized they were finally paying attention to what was happening at BridgeKids. One night we started talking about serving God and how they could serve at church when they were older. Emmanuel said he wanted to "do what Mr. Kevin does." I was thrilled! Then, he and Elijah began talking about the previous day's lesson and what Mr. Kevin had taught them about serving God in your job. I couldn't believe they were sharing what they were learning without my prompting.
Emmanuel talked about how he wanted to work with technology to make websites for people to learn about God. And then Elijah piped up, saying, "BridgeKids need to have a website for kids to watch when they have to miss church because they are sick or away! Just like big church!" I recognized how engaged they were with Bridgeway, even the BCCTV we watch on the weeks we can't attend service.
It's been three years since we had that conversation, and now both of my boys, as well as my daughter, are serving in BridgeKids. They absolutely love it! In fact, it's now hard for me to leave church on Sundays because I have to drag my three teenagers out of BridgeKids.
My daughter Kendall participates in the worship, as does Emmanuel. I was pleasantly surprised when he said he wanted to join the worship team, and the BridgeKids servants working with him were equally surprised. Several said they had never heard Emmanuel speak, let alone perform in front of others. But since joining the worship team, Emmanuel has grown in his devotional and prayer life, and he is so excited to be a part of worship that he never wants to miss, or be late to, practice or service.
Elijah, on the other hand, was adamant about not joining the worship team after his siblings got involved. He was supportive of them, but it wasn't a good fit for his talents. He was thrilled when he was allowed to join the BridgeKids tech crew and so proud to wear his dark green shirt. He feels valued as a member of the team, and he talks all the time about the equipment and the skills he's learned. Most importantly, he sees how there are many ways to serve God and others and how everyone is called to do different things.
I am so thankful for BridgeKids and the ways the leaders, including Mr. Kevin, invested in my children every week for so many years. I'm glad my kids have watched other adults love and serve the Lord, so they now see that practice as the norm and not an exception. BridgeKids nurtured the hearts of all my unique children, and I pray each one will continue to follow the examples they saw in BridgeKids.
I love coming to Bridgeway; it's a smaller reflection of how I'd like the world to be: diverse, unconditional, and accepting. - d. Joyce

Those Awful Reviews
in which I ramble about silent films I've seen
Station Content (Triangle, 1918)
Posted by The Crane Operator
Directed by Arthur Hoyt
Starring Gloria Swanson
Wait a minute, you might be saying — I've already done a review of Station Content. Yes, I have, and I won't be reviewing it again. This will be more of a textual reconstruction. The original, feature-length release of Station Content, as I've said before, is presumed to be lost. What survives is a roughly one-reel abridgment. So what is missing from the story? Not a lot, really. Station Content seems to have been a film that lent itself well to abridgment:
Kitty (Gloria Swanson) was originally from a large city (an eastern city, likely New York, but contemporary reviews are contradictory). She marries Jim Manning (Lee Hill), who's the master of Cybar Station. Cybar is a remote, isolate place somewhere in the southwest. She's too preoccupied to be culture shocked — she's about to have a baby. The baby takes ill shortly after its birth and dies before the doctor arrives. Kitty is sure the baby would have lived if they weren't so far out in the country.
Jim had promised her that he would soon be promoted to a more urban station, but months have passed and no promotion has materialized. Kitty's resentment grows with each passing day. Her only friend is the conductor of the express that stops at the station. A train wreck ahead delays the express one day. Kitty and the conductor spend the time at the piano, where Kitty sings songs that remind her of happier days before she'd ever heard of Cybar. Aboard the delayed train was a theatrical manager (Ward Caulfield) who overhears Kitty singing and is impressed. He tells her that he's casting a musical revue (or maybe an operetta — again, reviews are contradictory) and she's got a place in it if she wants it. Kitty tries to discuss the matter with Jim, but he shoos her away, saying he's too busy. That night he finds a letter on the table: Kitty has left him.
Some time later, Stephen Morton (Arthur Millett) attends Kitty's show. After the curtain call, she finds him waiting for her backstage, come to ask her out to dinner. Morton is the president of the Pacific Railroad — Jim's boss. Morton is also married, but he and his wife (Nellie Allen) are estranged. To quote one review, he proposes that Kitty might "fill the void". Kitty is reluctant. No need to answer now — he'll be at his ranch in San Francisco, he says. If Kitty decides in his favor, she need only knock at the door.
Kitty is tempted — very tempted — and goes so far as to book passage to San Francisco, but her train is delayed and she misses her connection at Lone Bridge. The station might as well be Cybar for how isolated it is, but the family there seem quite content with their lot (Fay McKenzie is the baby, I don't know who the parents are). The husband, however, is ill from overwork. In the morning, the train to San Francisco pulls out of the station, but Kitty isn't on it. She knows Morse code and has volunteered to take over for a few days so that he can recuperate.
Jim, meanwhile, has at last got his promotion — too late for it to make any difference. He boards the train for his new job in San Francisco. Also on the train is Stephen Morton on the way to his ranch. A great storm breaks out that night. The track-walker rushes to Lone Bridge Station with news that the bridge has been struck by lightning and destroyed. He tells them to telegraph Victorville to stop the train, but the train — Jim and Morton's train — has already left. Kitty pleads with him to go out, cross the canyon, and warn the train, but he refuses — it would be certain death in this storm, he says. Kitty takes it on herself to do so.
Braving all the dangers, Kitty at last makes it across the canyon and flags down the train in time before collapsing from exhaustion. She's carried on board. When she wakes, Jim is the first man she sees. She asks forgiveness, but Jim insists there's nothing to forgive — the fault was his for ignoring her. Morton, realizing that he has his answer, feigns ignorance and Jim never knows what might have happened if Kitty hadn't missed her connection.
Really, aside the opening sequence with the death of Kitty's baby and Jim's failed promise of promotion, the abridgment conveys the entire story at a fifth of the length of the original. Even the adultery subplot, which it never directly mentions, is pretty heavily implied, despite the addition of the "I know a director in California" business. The most curious change is shifting the Lone Bridge illness from the husband to the sister-in-law, although that does provide an easier and quicker excuse for why he disappears from the film.
There are a number of contemporary reviews, all favorable. Several report that the working title of the film was The Prodigal Wife and that it better suited the story than Station Content, but curiously, the review in Variety says it went the other way: that the working title was Station Content, but it was released as The Prodigal Wife. I would say the majority opinion is probably right, but the Variety review is very detailed in its plot summary, and at least for the footage that survives, it's more accurate than any of the others. It's obvious that the reviewer actually saw the film, which may seem like an odd thing to say, but many reviewers didn't — they just went off the publicity information provided by the studios. So who knows?
Another big question is Diana Carrillo. Carrillo played a Native American woman. It's a big enough role to make the cast list (the couple Kitty meets at the other station seem like major characters and they don't make it), but not a single review mentions her and I don't have any idea where she fits into the story. She's briefly visible at the start of the abridgment, sitting in front of the station weaving a basket. She's also featured on one of the film's lobby cards doing the same.

The Gun Fighter (Triangle, 1917)
Directed by and starring William S. Hart
Bad guy turns good guy to save innocent woman. Boiled down, that's the plot of The Gun Fighter (1917) and of 90% of William S. Hart's filmography. He played the part well, his films remained popular, and with few exceptions, neither he nor the studio (Triangle-Kay Bee, in this case) saw the need to deviate from the formula.
Cliff Hudspeth (William S. Hart) is an outlaw in the goldfields of Arizona. A rival band, lead by a bandito known as El Salvator (Roy Laidlaw), tells him that he's claimed the town of Desert Pass and that his band had better clear out. As a reply, Cliff kills one of El Salvator's tough-talking men. The town milliner, Norma Wright (Margery Wilson), witnesses the murder and is disgusted by it.
The town is being ravaged by El Salvator, and Colonel Ellis Lawton (J.P. Lockney) knows that, outlaw or not, Cliff is the only man who can take him on. Cliff agrees to lead an attack, but the plans are overheard and El Salvator strikes first. Norma is kidnapped during the raid. Cliff promises her little brother Jimmy (Georgie Stone) that he'll rescue his sister.
Cliff peers through the hideout window and sees Norma being menaced by El Salvator. Cleverly, he shoots out the exterior light so that he's invisible from inside, then aims and takes out El Salvator. Norma escapes. Cliff, who had been injured during the raid, watches her ride off across the desert before collapsing.
Child actor Georgie Stone, a couple years older since his performance in The Doll-House Mystery (1915), turns in a more nuanced performance as Jimmy. J.J. Dowling's active Ace High character here is quite a departure from the serene Patriarch in The Miracle Man (1919). William S. Hart is, as ever, William S. Hart – stonefaced and showing little emotion, very serious – entirely the opposite of his rival Tom Mix over at Selig studio (and later Fox). The only performance that really didn't work was Roy Laidlaw's El Salvator. The character is much too absurd to take seriously. He would feel more at home in a Speedy Gonzales cartoon.
Hart films did occasionally show a little variation (recall The Captive God (1916)), but the plot here is your standard good-bad-man. It's a decent example. The Gun Fighter was written by the rather prolific scenarist Monte M. Katterjohn, and Hart, who also directed the film, had this style of story down to a science.
I wouldn't suggest watching too many Hart films at a go – they kind of all blend together – but The Gun Fighter is well made and entertaining enough to recommend.
My rating: I like it.

Kitty Manning (Gloria Swanson) is the wife of Jim (Lee Hill), master of the Cybar train station. Cybar is a nothing town nestled deep "amid the desolate southwestern plains" and Kitty, who had been used to big city life before marriage, is suffering from an extreme case of ennui. A theatre agent (Ward Caulfield) overhears her singing one day and, impressed by her vocal talent, offers to find her a job. Kitty is excited at the prospect and eager to talk it over with Jim, but Jim ignores her – his life is focused on his railroad/telegraph duties to the exclusion of everything else. That night, Jim finds a note on the table – Kitty has left him.
She meets with success and becomes a chorus girl in a small revue, but at least one person thinks she should aspire to greater heights. That would be Stephen Morton (Arthur Millett), the president of the Pacific Railroad. He's friends with the director of a major theatre in San Francisco and wants to establish Kitty there, which, after some hesitation, she agrees to.
Kitty misses a connecting train on the way to San Francisco and is forced to spend some time at Hell's Station – a place even more isolated than the station she escaped from. It's also manned by a married couple, but the wife here suffers from none of Kitty's listlessness and Kitty begins to envy their happiness together.
Meanwhile, Jim is relocated to a new station and leaves for Victorville. A violent storm destroys the Hell's Canyon bridge, over which Jim's train is bound. Kitty, ignorant that Jim is on board but knowing that the train is doomed if it isn't warned in time, takes it upon herself to brave the storm and "certain death" danger of crossing the canyon to stop the train.
Gloria Swanson's filmography is usually divided into two periods: her early work at Keystone, where she starred opposite Bobby Vernon in a series of one- and two-reel slapstick comedies; and her later work at Famous Players, after she became Cecil B. DeMille's go-to dramatic leading lady. Almost forgotten is the year she spent at Triangle between those two epochs, even though it's the pivotal part of Swanson's career.
The Keystone shorts are inane in general and Swanson's character in them is essentially undefined. The only identifying trait I can think of is recklessness, and that's hardly unique in slapstick. She was upstaged by a dog more than once. (Seriously, Teddy the Dog was a bigger name than either Swanson or Vernon at the time.) The high melodrama of her Triangle pictures were a great change of pace and really allowed Swanson to test her mettle as an actress and make a name for herself in the process. Roles like Marcia Grey in Shifting Sands (1918) and Kitty Manning here in Station Content (1918) were what led to her becoming a favorite of DeMille and achieving super-stardom in the 1920s. It's unfortunate that so little from this transitional period in Swanson's oeuvre survives.
On that note, most seem to think Station Content is a lost film, too. They're not entirely wrong – what survives is an abridged copy, not the film DeMille was so impressed by in 1918. We lose out on some of the more salacious subplots, like Stephen Morton being Jim's boss and Kitty having an affair with him. It's just sidelong glances and a vague suggestion of things unsaid now. What saddens me is that we don't get to see more of the action set pieces; I'm very impressed by the camera work in those that do survive. Arthur Hoyt was primarily an actor. If you've read my other reviews, you might remember him as Henry Caron from Trumpet Island (1920). He only directed one film before Station Content and quit directing immediately after. I can't imagine why. There's something about the simple composition of his shots that's perfectly effective at conveying the characters' emotions. Particularly striking is the scene with Kitty standing on the tracks in front of the train as the rain beats down, her arms outstretched as if crucified, with the headlight from the train morphing into a halo over her head. It's an image of contrition and the hope of redemption.
I'll admit that I'm a sucker for sentimental melodrama, but I think I'd like Station Content even if I weren't. I give a strong recommendation for it.
Side note: it's usually the case that the entire cast and crew of all the films I watch are long dead, but I can't say that of Station Content. The baby in the Hell's Station sequence is Fay McKenzie, and at least as of my writing this, she's still alive at the age of 95.
The Missing Millionaire (Triangle, 1917)
Directed by Paul Powell
Starring Douglas Fairbanks
Having acted on the stage for over a decade, Douglas Fairbanks broke into pictures by joining the Triangle Film Corporation in 1915. Audiences immediately took to his handsome looks and lively acting. As a rising star, he quickly outgrew Triangle and left for greener pastures in 1916. Not wanting to lose out on the profits that a film headlined by Fairbanks would bring in, Triangle took one of the last movies he made while he was still under their employ – the 1916 five-reeler The Matrimaniac – and used it along with some outtakes to assemble a new two-reeler that they released under the guise of a completely new Fairbanks picture in 1917: The Missing Millionaire.
If you've seen The Matrimaniac, you'll surely recognize the footage, but not the story, as The Missing Millionaire follows an entirely different plot.
It starts with quite a cold opening – an old man in a bathtub, a couple of people standing around looking suspicious, Douglas Fairbanks slashing somebody's tires – and it's actually about five minutes in before we're given the slightest clue what's going on, but it turns out that the story isn't too complex. Jonas Byng (Fred Warren), a seller of patent medicines and a hypochondriac himself, has just inherited a million dollars. His cousin Zeke (Clyde E. Hopkins) is eager to get his hands on the money, which he plans on doing by having Joe declared insane and naming himself the executor of his estate. Jim Lawton (Douglas Fairbanks), a shoe-salesman, is in love with Joe's daughter Mildred (Constance Talmadge) and very much wants to prevent Zeke from robbing her and her father of their fortune. The bulk of the film (and by bulk, I mean all) is a race to the judge, with Jim and Joe on the one side and Zeke and Mildred (who he's taken hostage, I guess) on the other.
Fairbanks gives an acrobatic performance as Jim – scaling walls, running on rooftops, tightrope-walking on telephone lines, clinging to the underside of a moving train – and Warren plays the doddering, absent-minded old man convincingly, but perhaps unsurprisingly, the characters' actions made a great deal more sense in The Matrimaniac. Even as simple as they've tried to keep the plot, the movie still feels like it's about to come apart at the seams any minute. It's an obvious cut-and-paste job that only barely stays coherent.
The film ends with an abrupt twist that I'll admit was unexpected, but it's the sort of twist that the film treats as a resolution, but when you stop to think about the situation even for a moment, you realize it doesn't resolve anything at all. At the conclusion of the film, pretty much all of the main characters, with the exception of maybe Mildred, should be in prison given all the laws they've broken up to that point.
It has the elements of a good film (and I mean that literally), but The Missing Millionaire isn't a good film itself. I don't recommend it, apart from as an oddity owing to its curious creation.
Incidentally, The Missing Millionaire wasn't the only re-edit of The Matrimaniac: the one-reeler A Telephone Marriage (1926) was also edited from it. All three films survive. It's interesting watching them back to back to see all the different takes on the same footage.
My rating: I don't like it.

City Spotlight: Alpine
By Peter Simek 12.20.21
Alpine may be one of Texas' most visited small towns. Located near a confluence of highways and rail lines, it is the unofficial gateway to Big Bend country. Travelers often pass through Alpine while en route to one of the many popular destinations in the area, such as Marfa or Big Bend National Park.
Located in the foothills of the Davis Mountains, Alpine offers outdoor adventure mixed with the unmatched charm of small-town life.

An Oasis in the Chihuahuan Desert
Cattlemen who began moving through South Texas in the late 1870s pitched their tents in a sheltered valley they found there. By 1882, a town began to take shape as the westward expansion of rail brought railroad workers. A spring-fed creek created a desert oasis, and the area became a watering hole for steam engines. The best spot was on land settled by brothers Daniel and Thomas Murphy. By the following year, the area was known as Murphyville, and the Murphys had registered a plat for the town with the Presidio County clerk.
Between the railroad and its location at a crossroads of West Texas cattle trails, the little town gained buzz. By 1888, it held a few dozen houses, three saloons, a hotel and rooming house, a livery stable, a butcher shop, and a drugstore. Residents decided to change their new town's name to reflect its hilly habitat at the gateway to Big Bend country. On Feb. 3, 1888, the local post office officially rechristened the town Alpine.
An Educational Mecca
Alpine's remote location ensured that it would never grow very large. But in 1921, the population surged — in Alpine terms — with the opening of Sul Ross State Normal College, which is now called Sul Ross State University. Originally organized as a teachers college, the university quickly transformed into an important cultural and educational hub. In the 1920s, it opened the Museum of the Big Bend, housing materials, documents, and artifacts related to the history of the region. Later expansions throughout the 20th century would include programs related to the study of the Big Bend region's geology, history, natural resources, and unique ecology.
The Big Bend Boom
In the 1940s, the U.S. government established Big Bend National Park, and Alpine suddenly found itself a gateway to one of Texas' great tourist destinations. As visitors flocked to the area, the city invested in improved access to water, sewerage, and electricity. By the 1960s, many retired people began relocating to Alpine to access the spectacular surrounding landscape. The town has long attracted retirees looking for an affordable, quiet, and safe place to live. The population grew until it leveled out at around 5,400 in the 1980s. Before long, the town's economy revolved around providing services and provisions for people headed to the park.
Exploring the Heart of Big Bend
Today, thousands of people visit Alpine every year, many of whom are on their way to explore the wilderness. But the town is also astonishingly beautiful in its own right. On clear days, you can see as far as 100 miles across the Davis Mountains and Glass Mountains, which meet at Alpine. The town's quiet streets, laid-back feel, and western charm feel quintessentially Texan.
If you find yourself in Alpine, here are a few things you can't miss:
Catch a Sunset (or Sunrise): With exceptional air quality, breathtaking vistas, and little light pollution, Alpine is a stargazer's (or sun-gazer's) paradise. Hike up Hancock Hill on the edge of town to take in some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets around.
Visit a Field of Dreams: One of Alpine's best kept secrets is that it's home to one of the best baseball parks in America. Constructed in the 1940s and modeled after Yankee Stadium, the semipro Alpine Cowboys baseball team plays on a field with all the charm of the storied stadium — only shrunken down to a scale that offers an intimate and unforgettable sports experience.
Explore the Museum of the Big Bend: The museum tells the story of the natural and human history of this fascinating corner of the world — a history that dates to the dinosaurs and stretches through thousands of years of human exploration, settlement, and cultural ferment.
Wander Downtown: With a street layout typical of frontier western towns, Alpine's picturesque streets feature 19th and 20th century architecture, a stunning courthouse, the old Holland Hotel (built by a local rancher in 1928), and plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafes.

Qld records 3118 new COVID-19 cases, one person in ICU
December 31, 2021 12:02 pm in Queensland by Shanee Dobeson
Queensland has recorded another daily COVID-19 record, with more than 3000 cases detected in the past 24 hours.
A total of 3118 new cases have been recorded overnight – which is an increase of almost 900 cases from the previous day.
It takes the total number of active cases across the state to 11,697.
At least 126 people are being treated for COVID symptoms in hospital, but only one person is in Intensive Care.
Chief Health Officer Dr John Gerrard said it's a man in his 50s who is not on a ventilator.
He is in a stable condition with the Delta variant, despite 80 per cent of cases across the state now being Omicron.
"He is vaccinated and he has received two doses of the vaccine two months ago," Dr Gerrard said.
"So this reminds us that even if you are vaccinated it is possible to get quite sick".
More than 35,215 tests were conducted across the state on Thursday, with the state's top doctor revealing queues are "generally improving, but demand remains high".
"We believe the changes made at National Cabinet should decrease the numbers waiting in queues for PCR tests in the coming weeks," Dr Gerrard said.
It comes as testing requirements for interstate travellers are also scaled back, with hopes it will take the pressure off testing sites across the country.
From tomorrow, people will only need a negative rapid antigen test to enter the state, instead of a PCR test.
Police Minister Mark Ryan said officers will be relying a lot on the honesty of travellers, with people still required to declare on their border pass that they've had a negative test.
Those who are caught flouting the system could cop a fine of more than $1400.
Meantime, anyone who feels unwell is being strongly encouraged to avoid heading out to any New Year celebrations tonight, with fears the virus could spread rapidly.
"Importantly, stay at home this New Year if you are sick… No matter how mild your symptoms," Dr Gerrard said.
"At this stage, if you have any respirtory symptoms there is a good chance that is going to be COVID-19."

Out of The 5 – Which Empath Are You?
An Empath is someone that has a natural 'gift' for being able to understand the emotional state of another person. There are many kinds of empaths. Just as other gifts are used and exhibited, in many different ways, so there are different types of Empaths with certain abilities and talents.
Many Empaths get trampled, used, thrown around, and taken advantage of.
1. Emotional Empathy you will feel and process the emotions of those around you either knowingly or unknowingly, sometimes to the point of being totally drained by their presence.
2. Medical Empathy you may feel an awareness of peoples physical body when reading or treating someone. You also see the person's energy field that may need treating.
3. Place empathy if you have the awareness that you are uncomfortable or alternatively really happy in a certain location then this is your particular brand. Place empathy can occur remotely by tuning into a photograph or area remotely, you can also use this gift when moving on lost souls, or loved ones to heaven. People with this gift will often exhibit 'chills' or 'wanting to leave' if the location they are in houses old energy or emotions.
4. Intellectual empathy is a gift that is a real benefit depending on the company you keep. If you possess this gift then you will tap into the thoughts and perspectives of those around you.
5. Environmental empathy they often feel great sadness when the Earth is going through trauma and transition, and will also pick up on the sadness or fear in certain geographical areas. You will also find if you possess this gift you are drawn to animals and nature, and will feel a kinship to woods, trees and landscape and want to keep them as natural as possible.
Discovering what kind of empathic gift you have and how clairvoyant you are are just some of the ways that can help you connect to your intuition. It provides clarity on why you just 'know' certain things, and why you avoid certain people and situations, it also helps if you are involved in the healing arts and truly want to expand to help others like yourself find their light.
Remember, the fastest way to grow your gift is to love it just the way it is.


As we are finishing up on one of the coldest winters I can remember in a long time, we look forward to spring and my favorite time of year to fish.
Currently, the bite just nearshore has been just awesome. Sheepshead, lane and mangrove snapper, flounder, Cobia, black drum and even some snook and redfish have been mixed in nearshore along the wrecks and nearshore ledges in the gulf. When we can get out there, the bite has been great and a lot of great fish for the table. Some very large tripletail this winter also.
The next few months will provide some of the finest inshore fishing you can find. Snook, redfish and trout will come out of their winter haunts and transition to the springtime feeding zones as they make their way towards the passes to spawn. March and April provide some awesome opportunities for a backcountry slam.
Starting April 15 I will start tarpon fishing like usual. The arrival of the silver kings is much anticipated as the days of winter creep by. By far my favorite fish to target as most of my clients know. I will be fishing for them exclusively in May and June and much of the end of April. Many of my regular clients have their dates but if you have not tried it please call me soon as my schedule is filling up fast for tarpon season! All dates are first come first serve. I look forward to seeing everyone again this season!

MONTEREY — This week the cities of Monterey and Pacific Grove will tackle two of the Peninsula's most widely discussed topics in the recent past, wireless and water issues.
In Monterey, the City Council on Tuesday (4 p.m., 580 Pacific St.) will hold its first reading to amend the city's policy when it comes to wireless service facilities.
Just last week, the Federal Communications Commission approved a plan that would override local regulations related to the future deployment of next-generation wireless networks, shortening time limits for small cell facility applications under review and limiting fees regulators can charge for reviewing those facilities. Prior to that, the city authorized Mayor Clyde Roberson to sign a letter on behalf of the council opposing S. 3157, the STREAMLINE Small Cell Deployment Act, as its known.
Now cities must approve or deny small cell facilities on existing poles within 60 days. Previously they had 150 days. Cole said the amendment includes changes to the city's public notification process and speeding up the review process.
On Monday, the city's wireless subcommittee met to discuss the final version that will be brought forward at Tuesday's council meeting.
"What is remarkable is that this is basically real-time changes being implemented by a local government in an immediate response to the recent ruling from the FCC," said City Manager Hans Uslar.
Also in Monterey on Tuesday, city officials will look to adopt what the city has called its Utility Box Mural Program. Currently, officials from the Museum and Cultural Arts Commission are seeking artists to showcase their work on city-owned utility boxes located throughout the city. Painted murals depicting scenes from the Monterey Bay already exist on utility boxes in front of the Monterey Public Library, on Del Monte at Alvarado Street, on Del Monte at Washington Street and at Jefferson Street at Pacific Street.
In Pacific Grove this week (Wednesday, 6 p.m., city hall, 300 Forest Ave.), council members will receive a draft report of the Council Water Policy Subcommittee and discuss the transfer of reserved water from the Community Reserve to the Residential Reserve.
"The Water Management District – they approved a certain amount of water entitlement for the city of Pacific Grove to sell as a result of the city's Local Water Project (water recycling project)," explained Councilman Bill Peake, who serves on the Water Policy Subcommittee with fellow council members Rudy Fischer and Cynthia Garfield. "Because we're now irrigating the golf course and cemetery this action just moves that forward with the potential sale of water entitlements in the near future and how that process would be conducted.
"The P.G. city council could approve the sale of water entitlements but ultimately the State Water Resources Control Board will have a say on the matter," added Peake.

While Toyota cautiously tests its prototypes, some zealous Prius owners are already clamoring for plug-ins, and paying aftermarket companies $15,000 or more to retrofit their cars as plug-ins.
As test drives go, this is pretty nerdy. With an early evening snow flurry falling, I am gliding silently through the streets of Detroit in Toyota's prototype for a future plug-in electric car.
Saul Ibarra, a young and chipper Toyota product specialist, directs me as I negotiate around the rustbelt city's retro downtown area in the car. It is identical in appearance to a Prius hybrid, but able to drive longer and faster on its battery, which you can recharge from any wall socket via a hefty charger cable, which is stored in the car's trunk.

U.S. Court Rejects Palestinian-led Multi-billion Dollar Lawsuit on Settlements
A string of U.S.-based tycoons, including Sheldon Adelson, and companies were sued over alleged connections to the Israeli occupation

WASHINGTON – A federal court rejected a lawsuit by Palestinian activists against the U.S. government and prominent American companies for their support of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The court stated that it lacked the jurisdiction to discuss this issue because it is political in nature and should be decided by policymakers, not the courts.
Alleged Settlement Supporters Sued for $34.5 Billion
Netanyahu Vows to Never Remove West Bank Settlements: 'We're Here to Stay'
Does Your Jewish Charity Donate to Settlements?
The lawsuit was titled "Tamimi vs Adelson" because the plaintiffs, led by Palestinian activist Bassem al-Tamimi, included American Jewish billionaire Sheldon Adelson among the list of private American citizens and companies whom they sued for providing support to the settlements. All together, the case included 49 defendants, sued for over $34 billion.
The plaintiffs also filed a separate lawsuit against Elliott Abrams, a senior foreign policy adviser under former U.S. President George W. Bush, claiming that "he has advocated and justified continued settlement growth, which necessarily meant the theft of more private Palestinian property."
District Judge Tanya Chutkan rejected the lawsuits, stating that the court "lacks subject matter jurisdiction to adjudicate the claims against all Defendants because they are replete with non- justiciable political questions." She decided to dismiss the case alltogether.
Chutkan wrote in her conclusion that "the Palestinian and Palestinian-American Plaintiffs in this lawsuit allege that they have experienced immense loss of life, liberty, and property over the last several decades, and they seek justice and compensation for violence they have experienced.
"At the core of their Amended Complaint, however, is the request for this court to adjudicate and resolve the lawfulness of the development of Israeli settlements in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem stretching over 30 years into the past. This issue, both close to the heart of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and central to the United States' foreign policy decision-making in the region, is simply inappropriate for this court to resolve. Instead, these issues must be decided by the political branches," said Chutkan, who was appointed by former U.S. President Barack Obama in 2013 and confirmed unanimously by the U.S. Senate.
The court's decision was praised by Israeli legal organization Shurat Hadin, which stated that "cases such as this are brought solely to furnish a foundation of legal legitimacy for the BDS movement, and undermine the legitimacy of Israel. We are grateful that the court understood the objective and agenda" behind the lawsuit. The organization expressed hope that "the judge will see clear to impose the large costs of these proceedings on the plaintiffs."

What is a type, and how do you think about it?
I was recently asked by a person who was going to take his first C programming class next semester to show him what programming was like. So I went over the compilation process, showed him some C++ code, and tried to talk about interface vs. implementation and what an API is.
But one of the hardest questions I came across was,
"What is a type?"
Now, as a student programmer, you kind of have to think about it. People do not get a whole mumble-jumble about the core idea behind types — we simply get something like,
"Oh, there just are different types, you know. You know the difference between an integer and a decimal number, right? Well, in C, they're called int and float!"
What's a person to think?
At this point, somebody who has never encountered the idea of types has to think: "What is a type?" Just imagine yourself asking these questions:
Is a type like different numbers? Is 2.0 a different type than 1 than 1.0? If they're both decimals, are they the same type? But if they're the same value, aren't they exactly the same type of number? Does having the same value mean having the same type?
Is struct pair {int i; int j;} the same as int i; int j;? I mean, they both contain the same data right? One is a pair of numbers, and the other is a pair of numbers. But why do I have this compiler error? My function expects a pair of two numbers, but I gave it two numbers! Why?!
And even more later:
What is a monad? Is it a type, or a function on types? But isn't a function itself a type? And a construction of a type with a monadic constructor will "trigger" certain functions? And what do you mean a monad doesn't require a join operation?!
Somewhere along the line, naive intuition fails. And, having nowhere to go, what's a person to do?
You're not going to get a formal talk on type theory until you decide you want one. But if you want to build a correct intuition of what a type is, maybe it's time for some research.
The Philosophy of Types
I'm not going to get a touchy-feel-y and truly intuitive intuition of anything by reading a computer manual or a hard technical paper that's already expecting you to already have a strong sense of what a type is. For this, I chose to go to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
Why? Because the idea of what a type is has deeper roots than type theory's birth by Bertrand Russell alongside Russell's Paradox for naive set theory. I'm sure that people have been categorizing things (and people) into types long before set theory was formalized (e.g. humans into male and female). And philosophy will provide intuition on more than just a pure mathematical level.
From Section 3: Types and Universals:
Are types universals? They have usually been so conceived, and with good reason. (See the entry on properties.) But the matter is controversial. It depends in part on what a universal is.
"But what's a universal?" I asked:
Universals, in contrast to particulars, have been characterized ashaving instances, being repeatable, being abstract, being acausal, lacking a spatio-temporal location and being predicable of things. Whether universals have all these characteristics cannot be resolved here. The point is that types seem to have some, but not all, of these characteristics.
Where predicable is defined as "capable of being asserted," where predicate is defined as "something that is affirmed or denied of the subject in a proposition in logic" by the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
This seems to be closer to what a property is:
Properties (also called 'attributes,' 'qualities,' 'features,' 'characteristics,' 'types') are those entities that can be predicated of things or, in other words, attributed to them. Moreover, properties are entities that things are said to bear, possess or exemplify.
In other words, if there's a sentence like, "The sky is blue," here, "The sky" is the object, and "is blue" is the property.
Continuing on, skipping ahead a little bit:
When it comes to being predicable, however, most types diverge from such classic examples of universals as the property of being white or the relation of being east of. They seem not to be predicable, or at least not as obviously so as the classic examples of universals. That is, if the hallmark of a universal is to answer to a predicate or open sentence such as being white answers to 'is white', then most types do not resemble universals, as they more readily answer to singular terms. … It is also underscored by the observation that it is more natural to say of a token of a word—'infinity', say—that it is a token of the word 'infinity' than that it is an 'infinity'. That is to say, types seem to be objects, like numbers and sets, rather than properties or relations; it's just that they are not concrete particulars but are general objects—abstract objects, on some views. If, then, we follow Gottlob Frege (1977) in classifying all objects as being the sort of thing referred to by singular terms, and all properties as the sort of thing referred to by predicates, then types would be objects. Hence they would not fall into the same category as the classic examples of universals such as being whiteand being east of, and thus perhaps should not be considered universals at all. (Although perhaps all this shows is that they are not akin to properties, but are their own kind of universal.) A general exception to what has just been claimed about how we refer to types (with singular terms) might be inferred from the fact that we do more often say of an animal that it is a tiger, rather than that it is a member of the species Felis Tigris. This raises the question as to whether the species Felis Tigris is just the property of being a tiger, and if it isn't, then what the relation between these two items is.
This last sentence raises the question: is being a member of the set of members defined to be within a type the same as being a type?
Well, we could say yes. But object "tiger" is not the same as the abstract notion of "the tiger" as a type.
We could say no, but the tiger object is certainly an instance of a type of tiger.
But what is a type?
From Section 4: What is a Type? (with selected parts put in bold) —
The question permits answers at varying levels of generality. At its most general, it is a request for a theory of types, the way set theory answers the question "what is a set?" A general answer would tell us what sort of thing a type—any type—is. For example, is it sui generis, or a universal, or perhaps the set of its tokens, or a function from worlds to sets, or a kind, or, as Peirce maintained, a law? These options are discussed in §4.1. At a more specific level, "what is a type?" is a request for a theory that would shed some light on the identity conditions for specific types of types, not necessarily all of them. It would yield an account of what a word (or a symphony, a species, a disease, etc.) is. This is in many ways a more difficult thing to do.
In other words, the answer is almost a non-answer. "What is a type?" I asked. "Well, it depends on what your definition of what a type is…" replied the article.
Reading on further, it asks a question:
Is it a set?
It might appear that types are better construed as sets (assuming sets themselves are not universals). The natural thought is that a type is the set of its tokens, which is how Quine sometimes (1987, p. 218) construes a type. After all, a species is often said to be "the class of its members". There are two serious problems with this construal. One is that many types have no tokens and yet they are different types. For example, there are a lot of very long sentences that have no tokens. So if a type were just the set of its tokens, these distinct sentences would be wrongly classified as identical, because each would be identical to the null set. Another closely related problem also stems from the fact that sets, or classes, are defined extensionally, in terms of their members. The set of natural numbers without the number 17 is a distinct set from the set of natural numbers. One way to put this is that classes have their members essentially. Not so the species homo sapiens, the word 'the', nor Beethoven's Symphony No. 9. The set of specimens of homo sapiens without George W. Bush is a different set from the set of specimens of homo sapiens with him, but the species would be the same even if George W. Bush did not exist. That is, it is false that had George W. Bush never existed, the species homo sapiens would not have existed. The same species might have had different members; it does not depend for its existence on the existence of all its members as sets do.
So, it's not just a set. A type that is missing one of its numbers does not disappear because one of its members does.
But what if we want that type with a missing number to be a distinct type? I think that having an int but not 0 type can be quite helpful and is quite distinct from int as a type.
I think the next paragraph is quite good:
Better, then, but still in keeping with an extensional set-theoretic approach, would be to identify a type as a function from worlds to sets of objects in that world. It is difficult to see any motivation for this move that would not also motivate identifying properties as such functions and then we are left with the question of whether types are universals, discussed in §3.
If a world can be called a set, then a type is a function to map a set onto subsets of itself. I think that's a fair definition: classification of objects depends on there being objects to classify and make divisions in classification.
Is it a kind?
From the section on it:
The example of homo sapiens suggests that perhaps a type is a kind, where a kind is not a set (for the reasons mentioned two paragraphs above). Of course, this raises the question of what a kind is; Wolterstorff (1970) adopts the kind view of types and identifies kinds as universals.
So a kind is not a set but is a type.
Instead he views the type as what he calls the archetype of the kind, defined as something that models all the tokens of a kind with respect to projectible questions but not something that admits of answers to individuating questions. Thus for Bromberger the type is not the kind itself, but models all the tokens of the kind. We shall see some difficulties for this view in §5 below.
That's fair… the concept of a type as an archetype for a set of objects that subscribe to that archetype is reasonable.
Is it a law?
Thus types have a definite identity as signs, are general laws established by men, but they do not exist. Perhaps all Peirce meant by saying they do not exist was that they are "not individual things" (6.334), that they are, instead what he calls "generals"—not to be confused with universals. What he might have meant by a "general law" is uncertain. Stebbing (1935, p.15) suggests "a rule in accordance with which tokens … could be so used as to have meaning attached to them". Greenlee (1973, p. 137) suggests that for Peirce a type is "a habit controlling a specific way of responding interpretatively." Perhaps, then, types are of a psychological nature. Obviously two people can have the same habit, so habits also come in types and tokens. Presumably, types are then habit types. This account may be plausible for words, but it is not plausible for sentences, because there are sentences that have no tokens because if Φ,Ψ are sentences, then so is (Φ & Ψ) and it is clear that for Peirce "every [type] requires [tokens]" (2.246). And it is much less plausible for non-linguistic types, like types of beetles, some of which have yet to be discovered.
I do like the idea of having a type be the way of interpreting tokens or instances of objects. But then the question becomes, "Does an object intrinsically possess a type?" Here, it appears that the answer is, "That depends on how people categorize it." Once again, I think this can be seen as a relationship between a universal set of objects into subsets that satisfy the type.
But so what?
I think Section 5 does a good job at creating a "So What?" moment for us:
The relation between types and their tokens is obviously dependent on what a type is.
I agree. There exist multiple possible ways to look at the abstract idea of a type.
If it is a set, as Quine (1987, p. 217) maintains, the relation is class membership.
Then we can defer to set theory (or one of them, of which a popular choice would be ZFC), a basis for modern mathematics.
If it is a kind, as Wolterstorff maintains, the relation is kind-membership.
The idea of a kind is a bit foggy on first read, but a kind looks to be something that models all the objects within the "set" or "category" of a particular kind "with respect to projectible questions" but for which answers to "individuating questions" is not valid. That is, I can ask you about a property of a kind, but I can't ask you to say, "Where was Homo sapiens, as a species or type, on New Year's Eve" because Homo sapiens is a species, not a specific object.
If it is a law, as Peirce maintains, it is something else again, perhaps being used in accordance with. (Although Peirce also says a token is an "instance" of a type and that the token signifies the type.)
Seems kind of ambivalent in nature on first observance.
Nonetheless, it has often been taken to be the relation of instantiation, or exemplification; a token is an instance of a type; it exemplifies the type.
And to this, I think we can agree: things that are of a type exemplifies the type, or, things that are of a type are examples of a type.
Though, that seems pretty useless. An identity property isn't anything special.
That wasn't much of a "so what?" moment…
I think, from reading the article on types and tokens, we can assume the following:
Types are usually interpreted as universals that cannot be picked out and given individual object properties. That is, we can talk about "All int have some value between the range of a and b,", but we can't really say, "The type-object int itself has a value that is between a and b." No. A type is not a "physical object," but more like an abstract object that is a stand-in for all of the objects that is admitted to a type, but cannot be picked out itself validly and observed "physically" or "in particular."
Types can exhibit set properties if you adopt such a philosophy. This means that if we match our own philosophy of types to set theory, we can have all the power and work already done on ZFC and, by possible extension, category theory. This has worked out very well — we can see that functional programming is a very valid paradigm of programming, with links to category theory.
The mechanism of recognizing objects as "tokens" or "instances" of a type should be defined. And, we've come up with different ways of handling the decision of types: simply typed lambda calculus, dependent type theory, refined types. Most programming languages provide basic types that are already defined, and operations by which to define other types based on those basic types in a recursive manner until you reach those base types again.
As a programmer and computer engineering candidate, I think the most popular application of type theory is in type systems for the various programming languages and compilers. Most of the popular languages of today have some notion of type and use it for both static and dynamic type checking, as well as compile vs. run-time type checking for safety and checking the validity of programs.
As the computer deals with the abstract notion of information, we can consider the following questions:
How does type theory mix with information theory, especially as applied in physical hardware architecture and abstract software architecture and design?
How is type theory applied to type systems for programming languages in the "real world," and why is it popular? What are its direct productivity and safety gains and properties that make them almost universal among modern programming languages?
What are some algorithms for type system-related operations that are efficient? Are some type systems better than others with respect to time complexity of type checking algorithms, etc.
But wait, what would you say to a beginner?
Types represent a class of objects that all have something in common. For example, the int type is a class of integers which are all between the range of such and such.
In C and similar abstraction-level languages, all types are interpretations on the language level from the actual binary information that fuels most computer architectures. The same sequence of bits can represent multiple things depending on what lens of "type" is being used. But this matters less as more abstraction is applied, and the coupling between the raw binary representation of data and our type interpretation is less coupled or close.
How you decide whether something is of a type depends on the language, but most often, we just declare certain pieces of data to already be a type, and then, the system takes it from there, and limits the way we program based on how the system allows us to manipulate the types. And you can always define more ways to go between types.

A system is a description of a transform that relates some input signal versus some output signal. While having a simple value solution can be possible after applying some input into a system, other systems may be evaluated down to an equation after being supplied with an input (e.g. Ordinary Differential Equations, or ODEs).
