I FitzAlan furono una nobile famiglia inglese.

La loro origine fu bretone e loro capostipite fu Alan fitz Flaad, che nel 1100 venne invitato da Enrico I d'Inghilterra a venire in Inghilterra dove ricevette in concessione terre nel Norfolk e nello Shropshire. Un figlio di Alan, Walter fitz Alan, divenne favorito del re Davide I di Scozia ed ottenne nel 1157 la nomina a High Steward of Scotland che trasmise ai discendenti. Da Walter discese la dinastia reale degli Stuart.

Il nome deriva dall'unione di due parole Fitz e Alan, letteralmente figlio di Alan. Fitz a sua volta deriva dal francese fiz / filz e significa figlio di.

I FitzAlan mantennero la contea di Arundel per più di tre secoli, dal 1267 al 1580. Il primo conte della famiglia FitzAlan fu John, che ereditò la contea dallo zio materno Hugh de Albini, conte di Arundel morto nel 1243 senza eredi maschi. Fu tuttavia dopo il formale conferimento da parte di Edoardo I d'Inghilterra che la famiglia iniziò ad usare il titolo.

Nel corso dei secoli si imparentarono con le maggiori famiglie inglesi. L'unione con gli Howard avvenne nel 1556 quando Mary FitzAlan, erede e figlia di Henry FitzAlan, XIX conte di Arundel, sposò Thomas Howard, IV duca di Norfolk. Loro unico figlio fu Philip Howard che ereditò la contea di Arundel dal nonno ma non il ducato di Norfolk dal padre essendo stato questi giustiziato per alto tradimento. Secoli dopo un suo discendente, Henry, duca di Norfolk, assunse il doppio cognome Fitzalan-Howard che trasmise ai discendenti.

Nel 1347 Richard FitzAlan, già conte di Arundel, ereditò la contea del Surrey dallo zio John de Warenne, VII conte del Surrey morto senza figli. Thomas FitzAlan, nipote di Richard, fu ultimo FitzAlan ad essere conte di Surrey: morì senza figli nel 1415 ed il titolo si estinse.

Q: Minimum number of coins for a given sum and denominations Given a set of denominations and the sum required I have to find the minimum number of coins that make that sum and also the number of coins for each denominations
Please help!!

A: The pseudo-code to determine minimum number of coins needed to make that sum is:
Procedure coinChange(coins, total):
n := coins.length
dp[n][total + 1]
for i from 0 to n
    dp[i][0] := 0
end for
for i from 1 to (total + 1)
    dp[0][i] := i
end for
for i from 1 to n
    for j from 1 to (total + 1)
        if coins[i] > j                 //if the denomination is greater than total
            dp[i][j] := dp[i-1][j]
        else                           //if the denomination is less than or equal to total
            dp[i][j] := min(dp[i-1][j], dp[i][j-coins[i]])
        end if
    end for
end for
Return dp[n-1][total]

And to find out the denominations needed:
Procedure printChange(coins, dp, total):
i := coins.length - 1
j := total
min := dp[i][j]
while j is not equal to 0
    if dp[i-1][j] is equal to min          //if the value came from the top we didn't choose current coin
        i := i - 1
    else
        Print(coins[i])
        j := j - coins[i]
    end if
end while

If you want to print the number of each denomination, just after printing the coins[i], you need to print the difference of dp[j] and dp[j - coins[i]]. The rest of the code will be same.
The full description of this solution used to be found in SO Docs, but has now been moved here.

Coin Changing Problem
Minimum number of coins to get total
Given coins of different denominations and a total, how many coins do we need to combine to get the total if we use minimum number of coins? Let's say we have coins = {1, 5, 6, 8} and a total = 11, we can get the total using 2 coins which is {5, 6}. This is indeed the minimum number of coins required to get 11. We'll also assume that there are unlimited supply of coins. We're going to use dynamic programming to solve this problem.
We'll use a 2D array dp[n][total + 1] where n is the number of different denominations of coins that we have. For our example, we'll need dp[4][12]. Here dp[i][j] will denote the minimum number of coins needed to get j if we had coins from coins[0] up to coins[i]. For example dp[1][2] will store if we had coins[0] and coins[1], what is the minimum number of coins we can use to make 2. Let's begin:
At first, for the 0th column, can make 0 by not taking any coins at all. So all the values of 0th column will be 0. For dp[0][1], we are asking ourselves if we had only 1 denomination of coin, that is coins[0] = 1, what is the minimum number of coins needed to get 1? The answer is 1. For dp[0][2], if we had only 1, what is the minimum number of coins needed to get 2. The answer is 2. Similarly dp[0][3] = 3, dp[0][4] = 4 and so on. One thing to mention here is that, if we didn't have a coin of denomination 1, there might be some cases where the total can't be achieved using 1 coin only. For simplicity we take 1 in our example. After first iteration our dp array will look like:
        +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
 (denom)|   | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10| 11|
        +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    (1) | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10| 11|
        +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    (5) | 1 | 0 |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
        +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    (6) | 2 | 0 |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
        +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    (8) | 3 | 0 |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
        +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

Moving on, for dp[1][1], we are asking ourselves if we had coins[0] = 1 and coins[1] = 5, what is the minimum number of coins needed to get 1? Since coins[1] is greater than our current total, it will not affect our calculation. We'll need to exclude coins[5] and get 1 using coins[0] only. This value is stored in dp[0][1]. So we take the value from the top. Our first formula is:
if coins[i] > j
    dp[i][j] := dp[i-1][j]

This condition will be true until our total is 5 in dp[1][5], for that case, we can make 5 in two ways:
 - We take 5 denominations of coins[0], which is stored on dp[0][5] (from the top).
 - We take 1 denomination of coins[1] and (5 - 5) = 0 denominations of coins[0].
We'll choose the minimum of these two. So dp[1][5] = min(dp[0][5], 1 + dp[1][0]) = 1. Why did we mention 0 denominations of coins[0] here will be apparent in our next position.
For dp[1][6], we can make 6 in two ways:
 - We take 6 denominations of coins[0], which is stored on the top.
 - We can take 1 denomination of 5, we'll need 6 - 5 = 1 to get the total. The minimum number of ways to get 1 using the coins of denomination 1 and 5 is stored in dp[1][1], which can be written as dp[i][j-coins[i]], where i = 1. This is why we wrote the previous value in that fashion.
We'll take the minimum of these two ways. So our second formula will be:
if coins[i] >= j
    dp[i][j] := min(dp[i-1][j], dp[i][j-coins[i]])

Using these two formulae we can fill up the whole table. Our final result will be:
        +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
 (denom)|   | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10| 11|
        +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    (1) | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10| 11|
        +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    (5) | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 2 | 3 |
        +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    (6) | 2 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 2 |
        +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    (8) | 3 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
        +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

Our required result will be stored at dp[3][11]. The procedure will be:
Procedure coinChange(coins, total):
n := coins.length
dp[n][total + 1]
for i from 0 to n
    dp[i][0] := 0
end for
for i from 1 to (total + 1)
    dp[0][i] := i
end for
for i from 1 to n
    for j from 1 to (total + 1)
        if coins[i] > j
            dp[i][j] := dp[i-1][j]
        else
            dp[i][j] := min(dp[i-1][j], dp[i][j-coins[i]])
        end if
    end for
end for
Return dp[n-1][total]

The runtime complexity of this algorithm is: O(n*total) where n is the number of denominations of coins.
To print the coins needed, we need to check:
 - if the value came from top, then the current coin is not included.
 - if the value came from left, then the current coin is included.
The algorithm would be:
Procedure printChange(coins, dp, total):
i := coins.length - 1
j := total
min := dp[i][j]
while j is not equal to 0
    if dp[i-1][j] is equal to min
        i := i - 1
    else
        Print(coins[i])
        j := j - coins[i]
    end if
end while

For our example, the direction will be:

The values will be 6, 5.

A: there are 3 typos in the code :
first :
if coins[i] >= j
    dp[i][j] := min(dp[i-1][j], dp[i][j-coins[i]])

this should be :
 if coins[i] > j <-- HERE
        dp[i][j] := min(dp[i-1][j], dp[i][j-coins[i]])

second : also in the same previous code, the second part of the min is missing + 1
so the correct code would be
if coins[i] > j
        dp[i][j] := min(dp[i-1][j], 1 + dp[i][j-coins[i]]) <-- HERE

third :
while j is not equal to 0
    if dp[i-1][j] is equal to min
        i := i - 1
    else
        Print(coins[i])
        j := j - coins[I]
      // <---- HERE
    end if
end while

in here we should reassign the min to the new cell , so the correct code would be :
while j is not equal to 0
    if dp[i-1][j] is equal to min
        i := i - 1
    else
        Print(coins[i])
        j := j - coins[I]
        min = dp[I][j]
    end if
end while

Many thanks for the solution.

The app has been installed almost 40 million times and the state has spent around 67 million euros on it so far. "Spiegel" has learned that "the Federal Ministry of Health has extended its expiring contract with Deutsche Telekom and SAP, the development and operation groups, until December 31, 2022 for a further EUR 25.2 million."

The German coronavirus alert app may not be accurate enough
When the application was presented in June 2020, the head of law firm Helge Braun praised the project and raised expectations. He spoke of "the best warning app in the world". "Spiegel" notes that "there hasn't been much praise since then. Experts criticized that the app was developed too slowly, that new features and meaningful fixes were introduced too late or not at all."
The application calculates whether the contact with an infected person was dangerous depending on how long and close the contact was. From a meeting of 9 minutes or more at a distance of 1.5 meters, the app may turn red.
"As the virus has become more infectious with variants such as Delta and omicron, even shorter contacts may now suffice to transmit the virus," writes the portal. However, "the last major update of the risk calculations is from April 2021, before the delta variant became dominant in Germany and well before the omicron appeared. Is the application still accurate enough?"
New restrictions in Germany. Stricter rules also for the vaccinated
The app could find a second life after the coronavirus pandemic
The Federal Ministry of Health "has not yet deemed the update necessary. However, the issue has been considered behind the scenes. One of the reasons why it has been rejected so far is that tightening the thresholds for distance or contact duration would lead to a further significant increase in the number of This could lead to more false warnings, which in turn could destroy the trust in the application. "
"Spiegel" points out that "there are already ideas for a second life for the app after the pandemic. For example, as a new 'federal warning app' for disaster control where existing solutions such as Katwarn and Nina could be combined. Another idea: the app. warning could become a health application that could be used, for example, to fulfill e-prescriptions in pharmacies ".
"Telekom in particular would probably be very interested in using the application longer, as it wants to further develop its digital health business" – notes the portal. "A little additional help will not hurt. One of the key people responsible for the warning application left the Ministry of Health at the beginning of December. Head of the Digitization Department, Gottfried Ludewig, went on a childcare leave together with the change of government – he will not return. From March he will head the health department of a subsidiary Telekom – T-Systems ".

Pass the Hat 2019
On Thursday, November 14, 2019, Foothill Family held its second annual Tip Your Cap & Pass the Hat luncheon at Noor at The Paseo in Pasadena. Two inspiring community philanthropists, Mike and Jeanne Beckman, were honored for their long-standing partnership and investment to Foothill Family. "Family is everything to us, and family is the foundation of our society," said Jeanne. "We support Foothill Family because it is an organization that works very hard to make struggling families strong."
In addition to moving, personal remarks made by the honorees, Teen Family Services graduate and Brighter Futures Scholarship recipient Emily Luna shared her empowering story with nearly 200 guests in the room. Delivering moments of passion and strength, Emily said, "I hope one day I can sit where you are and have the opportunity to pass the hat and give to these great programs that have encouraged me to be whom I am and see that there is a future."
Emcee John Cervenka and CEO Steve Allen inspired Foothill Family's community through lively jokes, acknowledgment of key leaders in the room, and guided guests through a fast-paced fundraising challenge. More than $41,000 was raised in just 4 minutes, supporting Foothill Family's mission of empowering children and families to achieve success in relationships, school, and work through community-based services that advance growth and development.
Thank you to Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek for closing the afternoon with encouraging remarks about Foothill Family's deep presence in the Pasadena and surrounding cities of the San Gabriel Valley. Playful music was provided by Quintessential Winds to round out the day.


Reading is an activity which, common as it is, requires some reflection to be done well. This is especially the case when dealing with reading arguments in difficult or possibly indeterminate texts. While many technical principles can be developed in connection with various kinds of texts in different genres, some principles can be seen to apply across genres, especially since they concern the morality of reading texts.
Many of us haven't stopped to consider reading as a moral act, but it is deeply so. Reading is a communicative act involving author(s), text(s), and reader(s). While I can't delve deeply into it, one helpful image from (surprise, surprise) Vanhoozer is that of being a "citizen" of language. Language is our common realm, the kingdom, the republic within which we live and move and having our social being. As such, there are rights and responsibilities within it for both speakers and hearers, in order that we do justice to one another as fellow citizens. Once the image is in place, it's fairly intuitive to begin filling it in.
The principle of charity seeks to understand a point of view in its strongest form before subjecting it to criticism. A suspension of one's own beliefs may be required in order to attain a sympathetic understanding.
One assumes for the moment that the ideas under consideration, regardless of how difficult they may seem, are both true and internally coherent. The emphasis falls on seeking to understand the texts as they stand rather than on picking out difficulties or contradictions.
If apparent contradictions are found, an active attempt is made to resolve them. Donald Davidson has suggested, for example, that the principle of charity means attempting to maximize sense and optimize agreement when it comes to doubts about the inner coherence or factual veracity of the viewpoint under consideration.
If it is possible to resolve apparent contradictions (or ambiguities) through a sympathetic interpretation, a presumption exists in favor of that interpretation. A presumption exists by the same token against any interpretation that resorts to the charge of inconsistency without attempting to resolve apparent contradictions.
That about sums up what I've seen of the principle, especially in analytic discussions. This is true both in philosophy and theology. I can recall a number of sections in Alvin Plantinga's work where he'll consider an opponent's position in two or three possible forms, at times even strengthening their arguments, before going on to refute them nonetheless. This principle can also be seen Oliver Crisp's habit–which has proved confusing to some–of considering and strengthening a number of positions he doesn't actually hold.
What's more, considering arguments in this manner can help clarify the actual issues at stake in a given conversation. Doing your interlocutor the favor trying your best to make sense of their position means that when you do actually get around to arguing against it, it can only be that much stronger of an argument. Or, it may be that it's only then you see the person actually has a solid point!
That said, a friend of mine has also argued it's important that this principle be weighed or balanced against the principle of accuracy. In the picture above, there is a danger that in your attempt to actually be charitable, you end up inadvertently misrepresenting your opponent anyways. Due to your own unavoidable intuitions, it may be you end up saying, "Well, they couldn't possibly mean that, because that doesn't make sense," when, in fact, that's exactly the position they do hold. Sometimes the benefit of the doubt becomes dubious. And that is a case where, despite your charitable intentions, the truth is not actually served.
All the same, I know for myself, consciously striving to be charitable in my pursuit of accuracy curbs my natural tendency to read with my own blinders on. In other words, striving for charity slows me down enough to achieve accuracy. Of course, I struggle and fail–quite spectacularly, at times. Yet I would propose that principles of moral interpretation such as that of charity have become all the more pressing to adopt and practice as our internet age has pressed even more of our communication to be textually-mediated. We are constantly reading, interpreting, and engaging with the texts of other authors, other citizens of language like ourselves. If we fail to practice charity in interpretation, one of our most socially and morally formative practices, it can't help but bleed out into other areas of our thought and life.
So then, to wrap up another post that's gone far longer than I had intended, practice charity in all your reading. Beginning with this post.
Excellent!! This is a great reminder and challenge to all of us. I enjoy reading books that I do not agree with, and seeing how the ideas or topics can be redeemed in the christian life. Thanks for this post Derek.
Derek, do you have any broader thoughts on the book itself? It looks rather intriguing.
You know, I do, but they're rather unqualified. I'm not enough of a Barth guy to be able to weigh in. So far, it seems very carefully argued and textually-substantied. What's more, I'm initially inclined to reject McCormack's interpretation of Barth on election. I find the whole "post-metaphysical" thing confused and confusing–far more speculative than any "classical", essentialist theology it's supposedly replacing. But again, McCormack's brilliant and I've barely scratched the surface on Barth, so take all that with a grain of salt.
Well I'm further down the food chain on Barth than you are, but your response sparked an excellent evening of exploration and some discovery. Thanks for taking the time, and for the original post as well, which is the sort of thing we'd all do well to practice regularly in any context.

A: You imagined your functions to work on the integer values you're passing them, but wrote them using the array syntax.
//Function to calculate tax
int taxCalculator(
    int qnty,
    int s_px)
{
    int tax;

    if (qnty < 1500) {
        tax = 0.15 * qnty * s_px;
    }
    else if (qnty >= 1500 && qnty < 3000) {
        tax = 0.20 * qnty * s_px;
    }
    else if (qnty >= 3000) {
        tax = 0.25 * qnty * s_px;
    }

    return tax;
};

//Function to calculate profit
int profitCalculator(

Beijing: Chinese authorities have blocked its mainland users from accessing the HBO website after American comedian John Oliver poked fun at President Xi Jinping.
The comedian poked fun in his HBO talk show 'Last Week Tonight'.
The 20-minute segment, which aired on June 17 in the U.S., gave a detailed description of China's alleged human rights abuses, including the country's suppression of free speech.
The joke was about China censoring the online comparison between Xi Jinping and cartoon character, Winnie-the-Pooh, by the Asian country' s internet users.
"Clamping down on Winnie-the-Pooh comparisons doesn't exactly project strength," Oliver said, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.
"It suggests a weird insecurity," he added.
According to the report, the mainland China internet users are unable to access the website since June 23.
HBO.com was blocked and therefore took away the opportunity for Chinese people to see the Xi Jinping segment by Oliver.

Kohn Molecular Interaction Maps
A diagram convention is described that is capable of unambiguous representation of networks containing multi-protein complexes, protein modifications, and enzymes that are substrates of other enzymes. A map was prepared of the mammalian cell cycle and DNA repair control network. In order to facilitate linkage to a database, each molecular species usually is represented only once in a diagram. Molecular species can be located on the map by means of indexed grid coordinates. Each interaction is referenced to an annotation list where pertinent information and references can be found. Parts of the network are grouped into functional subsystems. The map shows how multi-protein complexes could assemble and function at gene promoter sites and at sites of DNA damage. It also portrays the richness of connections between the p53-Mdm2 subsystem and other parts of the network.
Reference: Kohn, Molec. Biol. Cell 1999 Aug;10(8):2703-34
Suggestions are welcome for further develpment of the map.

A Study On Agroclimatic Characterization Of Albanian Territory – Albanian J. Agric. Sci.
Agricultural University of Tirana, Tirana.
The studies in agro-ecology, under the conditions of agricultural orientation of Albania make necessary the climate classification of agricultural areas, based on the suitability of agricultural plant groups, whose productivity level and sustainability depend on the performance and fluctuations of climatic elements. The introduction of new cultivation technologies of plants with low environmental impact requires the recognition of environmental features and in particular the climate one with the intention of satisfying the needs of each plant cultivated which is cultivated and spread in that area. To be more precise, the characterization and climatic zoning of the territory is considered to a valuable study in order to determine the most appropriate ecological zones in the country. For purposes of characterization of similar climate zones in the Albanian territory have been taken the historical series of climate data, which have been digitized and processed by applying the method "Cluster analysis" with the view to distinguishing their climate features, which will serve to distinguish the closely-related ecological areas and designing appropriate technologies for cultivation of plants based on such data.


If you're visiting Vancouver from afar, chances are pretty good that you'll be passing through Vancouver's main airport (unless you arrived on a cruise ship or have been driving a long ways).
With over 17 million people passing through its gates every year, YVR is the second busiest airport in Canada. The other two airports of significance in the region are the Abbotsford International Airport (home of the Abbotsford Airshow every summer in August) and the Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre (located downtown by the Vancouver Convention Centre and home to Harbour Air, which also offers departures from YVR).
As far as airports go in the world, Vancouver's is one of the best. Yes, be prepared to do a fair bit of walking from one end to the other, but the facility is well laid out and has a good selection of interesting shops and restaurants to help pass the time.
TRANSIT TIP #1: The Canada Line SkyTrain conveniently goes from the Airport to downtown Vancouver at a fraction of the price of a taxi. There is a $5 or transit surcharge for commuters traveling from the airport (but not going to it), but it's worth it.
TRANSIT TIP #2: From YVR to downtown Vancouver is two zones, or one zone on Saturdays and Sundays. If you plan to do more travelling later in the day, especially on a weekday at full price, and you expect to use public transit for three or so extra trips on the same date, or just two longer ones, then consider buying a day pass at less than $10 for an adult.


If we were to step back for a moment and look at the extent to which traditionally Christian societies have become secular in recent history, we might conclude (quite reasonably) that by all appearances the Faith is dying, if not dead already. So dangerous is the perception of this cultural shift away from God, that it has become a focal point of Benedict XVI's Pontificate, as the 2010 creation of the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization proves.
If you follow current events in the Church you have heard the phrase "New Evangelization" many times. Simply put, it is the challenge of the whole Church to find new and effective ways of articulating the gospel message, particularly in those societies once firmly Christian in structure and practice (e.g. Canada, Europe).
But the phrase should not be misinterpreted as something entirely novel or conceived. The task of evangelization, and even innovative ("new") evangelization, was undertaken by the first Christians themselves. They had to break-out, so to speak, in order to be Christian; and this ability has been characteristic of the Church ever since. Early apologists like Justin Martyr sought to articulate Christian truths in light of the predominant Greek philosophy of the day. Missionaries from Ireland sprang across the continent when the Roman Empire fell, and planted the seeds of Christendom. Matteo Ricci journeyed to China in the 16th century where he immersed himself in the culture of that great empire. Thirty years later the church in China numbered in the hundreds of thousands (We may wonder what China might look like today had papal politics not interfered). And the list goes on.
But the important thing to note is this: that the historical rise of these new evangelizations was always preceded by social and cultural circumstances which demanded that they rise. To the Greeks and Romans of the early centuries Christianity did look ridiculous philosophically, and to many it was only a matter of time before this crazed Jewish sect petered out. And when the Roman Empire fell to the tribes of Northern Europe it seemed natural that its new monotheism would fall with it. And in the first half of the 16th century when cries of protest came from within the Church it looked as if that old energy to break-out had been used up.
And so in each of these cases (there are countless more) we must note: first, that throughout Church history social and cultural circumstances demanded the rise of new evangelizations; and second, that the Church has always responded. The fact that on many occasions it looked as if the Church couldn't respond only strengthens the point. Today, in many traditionally Christian societies (such as our own) the Faith appears to be buried in complacency or even total indifference. And to the surrounding secularism the logical conclusion must be that the old bones of the Catholic Church have only to decay in the grave. But history has proved this to be a naïve assumption, and those who assume it may be reminded that the Church, which is the body of Christ, has an historical tendency of rising from the dead.

e.GO partners with Ericsson and Vodafone to launch 5G car manufacturing in Germany
RobbieDunion Follow
3 Jul 2019, 7:20
Telecommunications giants Ericsson and Vodafone have joined forces with German electric micro-car company e.Go to make Automotive 5G manufacturing a reality.
Not only will the technology enable greater automation and 5G connectivity, it will also increase the flexibility for e.Go to produce different kinds of vehicles and has even incorporated a model to ensure that any new e.Go factories will be built much faster and at a smaller cost than traditional automotive manufacturing plants. At e.GO's Factory 1, where the e.GO Life model is manufactured, Vodafone has deployed a private network, incorporating 5G Core and 5G New Radio solutions from Ericsson's 5G Platform. The network delivers secure and almost real-time data networking across the production chain, covering digital material management, autonomous vehicle control and more.
Günther Schuh, the CEO of e.GO Mobile AG, firmly believes that the 5G network will deliver faster and more reliable production with constant access to relevant information, describing the assembly plant as a "true Industry 4.0 factory" with "connectivity linking the physical and digital world".
Having already incorporated network slicing and mobile edge computing technologies, the optimized on-site network spans 36 antennas across the 8500sqm facility, delivering an impressive gigabit bandwidth and latency of just a few milliseconds. Ericsson also plans to install 5G Radio Dots in the factory in the coming months.
The operational speed and efficiency is improved using a secure automatic identification and delivery system for production materials to each specific vehicle as it goes through the assembly process, alongside fully autonomous vehicles replacing the traditional production line to move vehicles from station to station. Autonomous forklift trucks and small trains are also on the horizon to transport materials between the warehouses and production hall.
Arun Bansal, President and Head of Europe & Latin America at Ericsson, said; "5G is the key to opening the door to a new era in manufacturing productivity, speed, security and efficiency – and the automotive industry is a prime example of the beneficiaries. Our 5G technology leadership, including solutions and abilities specifically tailored to manufacturing, enables us to partner with companies such as Vodafone and e.GO to deliver the very best private networks solutions."
Hannes Ametsreiter, Head of Vodafone Germany, added; "Our automotive industry needs a fast network directly where the newest and most innovative cars are built. Data is an important fuel for modern automobile production."

GameGeex - Ubisoft hoists the Jolly Roger Yo Ho Ho and a hidden blades, it's an assassin's life for me.
After playing Assassin's Creed 3 I found myself asking if all that work they put into the naval battles was all we'd ever see of in the franchise. It seems Ubisoft was already on the case as they release the box art for the next game in the series, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. It doesn't appear we'll be hanging out with Connor anymore, instead we've traded in our tomahawk for a cutlass. As long as I get dual pistols I'm all in.
The polish put into naval battles was clearly one the high points of Assassin's Creed 3 and if they are building off that experience I can't see that as a bad thing. Personally I'd love to take the the seas and come in to port to take out targets. There is speculation based off the family lineage of Connor that his grand father, Edward Kenway, might be the protagonist for the story. If that's the case it'd be the first time the series has done a prequel story.
With the story mechanics behind the plots of Assassin's Creed it's not a hard pill to swallow though. I'm interested to see how they proceed with this story after the ending events of Assassin's Creed 3, don't worry I'm not going to spoil it. Look for more details on Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag on March 4th.
I've spent countless hours getting my ship thrashed in the navel battles, so seeing that more are on the way triggers mixed feelings. I guess I'll have to go back and practice up for the new voyages!
Yeah, get your practice on! The naval battles are some of the most polished experiences I've had on a console for sea battle. I'm not a huge naval fan, but I still had a blast. Now add the whole pirate life, traveling between ports. Hell if I could jump between ships and take out the captain all assassin style, yes that's what I am talking about.

Stopping torture needs unswerving commitment
Posted June 28, 2010 / David Saperstein, JTA

WASHINGTON (JTA) — A recent report by Physicians for Human Rights has found that in the period after Sept. 11, 2001, the U.S. government engaged military and civilian health professionals in "human research and experimentation on prisoners in U.S. custody."
Appalled by these findings, a number of religious leaders representing the National Religious Coalition Against Torture have joined the growing chorus of American voices demanding that Congress establish a commission of inquiry to determine how this could happen in a democracy — and how to ensure that it never happens again.
Human experimentation abetted by medical professionals recalls the heinous acts committed by the Nazis in the concentration camps. Indeed, present-day human experimentation, conducted for the purpose of further developing torture techniques, is a violation of accepted standards of medical ethics and of domestic and international law, including the Nuremberg Code, adopted in response to Nazi atrocities.
To be sure, Nazi medical experimentation in the concentration camps was an unparalleled horror, significantly different from the research conducted on prisoners in U.S. custody. Nevertheless, the Holocaust has provided vitally needed moral lessons to the world. Among the most crucial is the need to stop abusive activity and violations of international law when they first begin.
During World War II, licensed doctors engaged in experimentation in Nazi concentration camps. As Robert Lifton noted in his book "Nazi Doctors," not only did doctors use human subjects for perverse, pseudo-scientific study, they worked with the Gestapo to develop and refine information extraction techniques by experimenting on Auschwitz inmates. This grave misuse of medical knowledge grossly distorted a profession designed to ease suffering, not to create it.
Lifton described the step-by-step process that drew otherwise ethical doctors into this evil. Spurred by social and political pressures, they became implicated in the medical experimentation. Lifton calls this the "socialization of evil."
The Nuremberg laws were intended both to prevent the suffering of future human subjects and the harm done to doctors by co-opting them in violations of the law and their ethical obligation.
Following World War II, the global community made a commitment to preventing future holocausts by identifying and condemning the cultural and societal norms that allowed these inhumane acts to occur and creating clear guidelines for acceptable behavior. The result was the adoption of the Geneva Conventions and the Nuremberg Code, which constitute an internationally recognized framework for treatment of prisoners and the laws governing human experimentation. Directives of the Nuremberg Code require voluntary consent of human subjects andimplementation of safety measures to protect subjects against injury, disability or death.
Drawing such lines was a key factor when the issue of torture came before the Supreme Court of Israel, which like the United States today has faced persistent threats from terrorists. Proponents of the use of torture under certain circumstances pointed to the distinct dangers posed by terrorists, the same concern of the CIA. Opponents argued strongly that limitations must beimposed to prevent torture.
The Israeli high court affirmed that the elimination of inhumane treatment of detainees is "the destiny of democracy, as not all means are acceptable to it." It said also that "Although a democracy must fight with one hand tied behind its back, it nonetheless has the upper hand."
Of course, it's not just our history as Jews that compels us to condemn torture in all its manifestations but also our values as Americans. The issue of torture touches on core moral principles of concern to the American Jewish community, principles that go to the heart of both American and international humanitarian values, as well as to the very essence of democracy.
There is no question that in the aftermath of 9/11, the U.S. faced significant security challenges that continue to test our nation in unprecedented ways. Yet as we seek to thwart those who wish us harm, we must not abandon the values and ideals that have been the hallmarks of our nation's greatness. Indeed, as a democracy committed to human rights we may not, dare not, in good conscience avail ourselves of barbaric practices, no matter how tempting the results may seem.
Just as the world committed to creating new boundaries after World War II, so we must now commit to ending U.S. use of interrogation methods that amount to torture and to act in a way that reflects the ideals on which our country was founded.
With these principles in mind, the American Jewish community must affirm its unswerving commitment to ending torture, including illegal human subject research, by calling for acommission of inquiry into human rights violations against detainees in CIA custody and demanding passage of legislation that will permanently end U.S.-sponsored torture.
The lessons of our Jewish history and our American values demand no less.

You and the FCC Chairman discuss the Future of the Internet
By Steve Grove
Head of News and Politics
Earlier today, the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Julius Genachowski sat down for an exclusive YouTube Interview, right on the heels of the FCC's announcement of a National Broadband Plan -- the agency's strategy to deliver high-speed Internet to more Americans across the country. You might be surprised to learn that -- even though the Interent was invented in the U.S. -- broadband penetration in the states is considerably lower than many other developed nations. Chairman Genachowski's YouTube Interview is part of a series of conversations we're having with public figures in which citizens submit and vote on their favorite video and text questions on CitizenTube. Earlier this year we spoke with President Obama in the White House, and engaged with leaders of Congress after the bipartisan health care summit.
You can see the entire interview posted below. Chairman Genachowski answered Brooklyn-ite Elizabeth Stark's question on cost by saying the FCC needs to eliminate all barriers to competition so more Interent providers can compete and drive down prices. When Evslin in Vermont asked about rural broadband access, the Chairman said the FCC will take funding currently allotted for rural phone lines and instead use it to provide broadband to rural communities. And when Michael Tapp asked if broadband should be considered government infrastructure or a commercial service, the Chairman shied away from calling the Internet a fundmental right -- but he did say that all Americans "need to have access to this critical infrastructure."
All in all, the Chairman took 17 questions, including two lightning rounds of "F-C-Caesar," in which the Chairman gave a thumbs up or thumbs down to more straightforward "yes" or "no" questions posed by users.

HOUMA -- Three of the four leaders after Thursday's opening round of the Hibernia Open had similar stories: They struggled on their first nine holes, only to find their swings on the back nine.
However, that was purely coincidence, not a product of a few tricky holes on the Ellendale Country Club course -- those golfers didn't all play the same front nines.
Pete Baratti, Rett Crowder, Greg Hiller and Stiles Mitchell finished the first round of the Tight Lies Tour event with 4-under 68s.
Baratti, Hiller and Mitchell all said they got off to slow starts. Baratti said his struggles on the front nine -- in which he shot par -- had little to do with the course, although some golfers said the greens were unforgiving.
"I like a long-type course," Baratti said. "It gets you kind of thinking about where you need to be. As far as tomorrow, no, we're going to do it the same way we did it today. Just one shot at a time."
Crowder was the only one of Thursday's leaders who showed consistency throughout the day, sinking four birdies and avoiding any bogies.
"You've got to put it in the fairway off the tee, and then you have to put it in the right spot on the green," Crowder said of the course. "The greens are a little tricky to read, but the ball rolls good on them and they're quick."
Temperatures reached the upper 80s, which took its toll on many players. Shane Tripp left the course with heat exhaustion. And when a light shower fell near the end of the day, several golfers said they welcomed the rain.
Mitchell, a Baton Rouge native, said the heat bothered him, in part, he believed, because of an arthritis medication he's taking.
"Normally, the heat doesn't bother me because at night I drink a lot of water before I go to bed. I try to hydrate myself," Mitchell said. "On the 12 tee box, I almost lost it. I felt like I was passed out standing over the ball."
The tournament resumed at 7:30 a.m. today. A cut to the top 50 scores, including ties, will be made tonight. After Thursday, the projected cut was 3 over par.
Most of the seven players from Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes -- all but one of whom are amateurs -- struggled in the first round.
Josh Clements of Houma, a late addition to the tournament field, fared the best, shooting 2-over 74. Houma natives Bryan Hamner and Brett Rutledge shot 4-over 78s.
Houma's B.J. Antill shot 82, Raceland's Philip Herrington 83, and Bourg's Brandon Henry 84.
Ellendale pro Rob Bradley was eliminated from the tournament after shooting 89.
Any player who shoots 88 or higher is automatically disqualified, according to Tight Lies rules.
Antill, a regular on the Ellendale course, said the higher roughs, grown longer for the tournament, affected his performance.
"The rough was pretty big," he said. "I hit a couple of bad shots because the rough got me. They usually don't have any."

For many of our clients, business strategy relies upon prudent approaches to both design and innovation. Consultancies like Claro are required to develop ever more ambitious and innovative solutions to meet the needs of their clients' fast-changing priorities. To do this, consultancies often implement a 'cookie cutter' approach that can act to fetishize the artefact rather than understand and solve the customer's most fundamental problems. However, developing the appropriate solution often requires a combination of methodologies to enable execution across platforms or spaces.
From Claro's point of view, key to the success of these projects, and a point that is often overlooked by the clients (and other consultancies), is a strong focus on people. By that we mean not just customers but also partners, employees, and other relevant stakeholders. Applying this focus to a Service Design project from the outset helps uncover unique insights and opportunities that may otherwise be missed. Our experience shows that without such an approach, we risk the creation of systems and services that may fail upon adoption. To understand this further, let's start by breaking down the different phases involved in service design.
You will often hear service designers refer to a 'theatre stage'. This is where they describe the different aspects of the Service Design playing field using the analogy of a literal theatre stage. By drawing upon this analogy, we can look at a company or organisation in a fresh way. This will prove useful as we discuss the benefits and challenges of a people-centred approach.
It is straight forward enough to comprehend the two key elements of Service Design – the 'front stage and the back stage': this is where the more visible action happens, where the customer is physically interacting with the company via its product/service/touchpoints. A relatively easy example to imagine would be that of a fast food restaurant: we have the 'front stage' – everything the customer can see and interact with – where they choose what they want, place their order, eat, etc. Then we have the 'back stage' – all the customer-facing activities – the restaurant staff behind the counters are busily taking orders, preparing the meals, frying the burgers, cooking the chips and so on.
But we also have two less well known 'behind the scenes' elements that happen off-stage. The first is what the company does behind the scenes – aspects of running the business that go unseen by the customer. This is where the intangible assets exist, such as legal, recruitment, supply chain, HR and training. It is vital for any Service Design project to gain a clear understanding of these different behind the scenes activities to get the full picture of how customer experiences are delivered. Only when the true end-to-end, surface-to-core service experience is laid bare, are areas for improvement/development made visible. It is often the case that when the backstage fails or isn't as choreographed as the front stage, the customer experience can be adversely affected – the promise made is not being delivered. This could lead to customers spreading negative feedback or even worse, never using your service or product again. Fortunately, it's easy to access these behind the scenes activities, and they are often well-documented so we can integrate this knowledge into the Service Design process.
Finally, we have the 'customer's behind the scenes' context, where we focus in on the lives of the customer before and after their interactions with the company/product. We try to understand what they do on a day-to-day basis, what experiences they go through, other products they use, but more importantly things we cannot see, like how they make choices, understanding of how to do a task, their biases, and the emotional impact service experiences produce within them. Many service designers see this invisible context as out of their control or responsibility. Worse, they mistakenly think they already know it all, or blindly assume they themselves are perfect proxies for customers. Some practitioners believe that all we can do is analyse how customers interact with the front stage, and then develop how the backstage and front stage best meets these customer needs.
However, at Claro, this is where we disagree. The real power in Service Design comes from identifying and addressing the customer's invisible — but very real — 'behind the scenes' actions, thoughts and feelings. We have a very particular approach to Service Design that combines a human-centred approach with rigorous business analysis. All solutions that we design are human-centric while being consistent with the business goals and brand values of the client. We fully believe that understanding people from the outset is the foundation to creating business value, and therefore is something we strive for when carrying out Service Design – we want to understand the actors and the lives they lead, both now and in the emerging future, which eventually leads them on a path to your product or service.
This is why we believe that not paying enough attention to the 'customer's behind the scenes' context is a misguided approach. No one customer is the same and individuals are inevitably influenced by what happens around them, therefore only considering how the individual interacts with the current service is simply not enough. Yes, we can create things like personas that show a wide array of people allowing us to target a specific group or design for a specific feature. Yet, to get a big picture view, one that will allow us to think holistically about how we can deliver a given service, we need to form a deeper understanding of the complexities of our customer base alongside the current political, economic, environmental, social or technological landscapes that affect their lives, perceptions, and evolving needs.
By considering and understanding the keys effects these complexities have on the customer, we then begin to consider and balance the impact of our solutions on them via the different parts of the current and future services they will interact with. By doing this we can create truly human centred solutions that customers will WANT to use. If we ignore the details that make the customer 'tick', we risk having no customers at all.
1. Always move beyond looking at a project from a technological perspective. Try to focus in on the people; the humans who will both adopt it, use it, and hopefully love it, as well as those who will build it, deliver it and grow it.
2. Do not just design for today. By looking at emerging global shifts and developing future scenarios, we can craft sound hypotheses based on how people manage the many ongoing changes in the world and how these changes will affect the services and products you develop.
3. Lastly, Service Design is not a project, or a deliverable. Service Design is an effective methodology with a set of particular tools. To truly do justice and create (or improve) services and customer experiences, we need to take a more holistic view of the customer's world.
Do not believe the magic-bullet hype of journey maps and service maps by themselves – the output of these tools are only as good as their inputs.

Eulogy for My Father – December 10, 1987
by David Perkins
Marshall A. Perkins, 1924 - 1987
I speak for my mother, my two sisters, and the rest of the family when I say thank you for coming to say farewell to my father.
Dad was always a bit of a would-be-entrepreneur, and had he realized what a turnout we were going to have here today, I can't help but think that he would have encouraged me to find a way to run a cover charge. I'm not sure he knew just how many people considered him an important part of their lives. I guess that was part of his charm – he was almost totally without pretense.
A few years ago, he was a pallbearer at three funerals of close friends who died in a very short span of time. He half-joked to me that, when his time came, he hoped we could still find six friends to carry his box. Because of the nature of today's service, which is the way he wanted it, we have no pallbearers. But I'm certain, that if the call went out, a line would form as far as we can see, of volunteers who would consider it a privilege to "carry his box."
Marshall Alexander Perkins touched a lot of people in his life, and most were happy to be among them. The others, no doubt, were misguided. My intent today is not to make him out to have been a saint. He was not. He was a good and decent man who dealt from the same sense of fairness with everyone he met. As a friend, his generosity with his time, his money, his counsel and his shoulder could always be counted on. His concern was always genuine, and his offer of help always sincere.
As an employee and a co-worker, he could give no less than his absolute loyalty and his best effort on the job. Whenever conversation turned to bad-mouthing the Postal Service, he would always jump to their defense. As you can imagine, with over thirty-six years of service, this would involve a lot of jumping on his part, in what was almost always a losing battle. It's not that he was blind to the shortcomings of the system, it's just that he was keenly aware of the many people who work very hard, as he did, to make it better.
But, he was all too knowledgeable of the abuse a package was subject to when placed in the loving care of the United States Postal Service. He tried to explain it to Mom once, several years ago, when I was overseas in the Air Force. She had baked a big batch of chocolate chip cookies, packed them very carefully and, when she was ready to mail them, took them to Dad for his professional opinion on whether or not they would make it safely all the way to Southeast Asia. He looked the package over. Kind of shook it a little as he held it to his ear. Then, suddenly he hurled it across the room, where it slammed against the wall and fell to the floor. Mortified, my mother just stood there, speechless. Dad looked over at the package on the floor and said, "Yeah, it oughta be okay." Possibly, in part, because they never witnessed that event, he was almost universally respected and admired by his colleagues and by the public he served.
As a father, he possessed the unusual ability, in a parent, to remember. He knew that there is a long list of lessons, some simple – some terribly painful, that every generation of children must learn for itself. As much as he must have wanted to, he never tried to protect us from our own mistakes unless they were potentially life-threatening. And once we had made them, he was never there to say, "I told you so." He was always there to pick us up, dust us off, and help us figure out what lesson it was that we had just learned.
I don't think he was called on very often to dispense justice to my two sisters. They must have been more adept than I at not getting caught, but God knows that I gave him more than enough opportunity to practice. Anytime he had to mete out some punishment, it was always tempered by that ability to remember. By the knowledge that, somewhere in the not-too-distant past, he had done something just as bad, or just as stupid.
As a husband, he loved and was devoted to the same woman for forty years. His life was dedicated to making hers, and theirs, a happy one. I believe he was successful. And I know that he considered it a life well-spent. Except for the occasional disagreement regarding the testing of packages for mailing, harsh words between them were a rare sound in our house.
Dad was religious, but for the most part didn't care for churches. Doctor Smith is here to preside over this service today because he is a religious leader whom Dad enjoyed and respected. He couldn't understand how so many other men of the cloth got their theology so screwed up. So he determined to study the word of God on his own, running amok through the Bible without the benefit of counsel or adult supervision.
He was not entirely squeamish about using profanity himself, but he didn't appreciate it coming from his television or the movie screen. He expressed this to me one day by saying, very seriously, that, "When a sonofabitch has to resort to foul language to entertain me, I can find something better to do with my time!" He didn't understand why I couldn't stop laughing.
During the last few months of his illness, I think his faith became an even more important source of strength for him. In going through some of his personal things over the past several days, I found some writings that would seem to reinforce this. Things that he had photocopied, or clipped from newspapers and magazines. I have one of them here, that I would like to read. I have no idea where he got it, but it seems to have been particularly important to him.
"A man is not completely born until he is dead. Why then should we grieve that a new child is born among the immortals? We are spirits. That bodies should be lent us while they afford us pleasure, assist us in acquiring knowledge or in doing good to our fellow creatures is a kind of benevolent act of God. When they become unfit for these purposes and afford us pain instead of pleasure, instead of an aid become an encumbrance and answer none of these intentions for which they were given, it is equally kind and benevolent that a way is provided by which we get rid of them. Death is that way."
My father's body had begun to afford him pain instead of pleasure. He was mentally and spiritually prepared to meet his death – and he was not afraid.
On the evening before he died, he called family and friends to his bedside to say goodbye. His last request was that we not grieve too deeply nor too long. We had a long and happy life together, and he would rather we celebrate his life than mourn his death. Then he looked around the room at all of us gathered there and smiled and said, "I hope I do this gracefully." As anyone who was in that room will attest, he did it with much grace, and much dignity.
Those of you who knew him were lucky.
Those who were colleagues and clientele were privileged.
Those of us who knew him well and loved him, and were loved by him, are truly blessed.
So, along with my mother and my sisters, I will try hard to honor my father's last wish. And we invite you to join us – not in mourning his passing, but in keeping with you that special warmth that came from being his friend and, from time to time, take a moment to be grateful that he was with us for awhile.

NC Buddhist Vihara > About
About the Temple
The North Carolina Buddhist Temple is located in the heart of Raleigh, North Carolina. It was originally founded by funds donated by Ms. Shanthi Wijay, in memory of her parents Mr. and Mrs. Shelton P. Jayasinghe. The temple belongs to the Theravada Tradition of Buddhism and operates under the patronage and guidance of Ven. Yatiiyana Wajirapala Thero. Since it opened its doors in 2006, with the leadership and guidance of Ven. Wajirapala Thero, the temple community has grown five fold and has become a central part of the Raleigh-Durham Buddhist community.
Bhante Yatiyana Wajirapala Thero
Bhante Yatiyana Wajirapala Thero was born in Yatiyana, a village in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka, situated about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) from the coastal city of Matara.
He was ordained as a Samanera (a novice monk) in 1980 at the Padhanagara Maha Viharaya in Colombo, Sri Lanka, under the guidance of Late Ven. Dr. Paravahera Pangnanada Nayaka Maha Thero, Late Ven. Wehelle Sri Attadassi Dhammapala Nayaka Maha Thero, and the Late Ven. Matara Sumangala Thero. His higher ordination took place in 1987 at the Malwatu Maha Vihara in Kandy, Sri Lanka. Ven. Wajirapala Thero completed his monastic education at Dharmaduthashrama college and obtained a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Kelaniya.
Ven. Wajirapala Thero has travelled to many countries including Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, and Nepal. His life in the United States began in California, at the Vietnamese Temple, under the guidance of Master Thich Vien Ly. He resided here for six years and learnt the Vietnamese practice of Buddhism and culture. The Thero moved to North Carolina in 2006 and established the North Carolina Buddhist Temple to teach the dhamma and fulfill the need for a Theravada Buddhist Temple in this area. He has an excellent reputation for preaching the dhamma and conducts meditation and dhamma discussions on a routine basis. In addition, he has a great sense of community and his welcoming nature has attracted a congregation far beyond the Raleigh-Durham area. We are truly blessed and privileged to learn the dhamma and receive guidance from Bhante Wajiralpa!

Q: Array.ICollection.Count Property in C# Why would the Count property be an explicit interface implementation in System.Array?
    string[] a = new string[0];
    int countAsArray = a.Count; // compile error
    int countAsIList = ((ICollection<string>)a).Count; // success

A: Probably because the more common means of determining the number of items in an Array is the Length property. Having both Count and Length would be a tad confusing.

A: If you have an array already, you don't need to be able to call array.Count, because there's already array.Length which does the same thing. If both Count and Length were directly available, we'd be getting pointless discussions of which to use.

A: Likely because Array already have Length property with the same meaning from 1.0 version.
Edit:
As pointed out 1.0 already had ICollection interface (version information, so 1.0 reference in my original guess is less likely to be valid. Another likely reason is that enough existing languages/libraries used Length property for length of array.
There are interesting comments on the subject at count vs length vs size in a collection.

A: Arrays already have a .Length property.  Having .Count as an explicit implementation hides duplicate functionality.

A: Probably because there's already a Length property that does the same thing.  Therefore, for performance reasons they'd want you to use Length instead of Count, which would do nothing but wrap Length anyway.  The explicit implementation is there for being able to interoperate with List and other such things.
