Enzo Maresca savoured chants of ‘we’ve got our Chelsea back’ from travelling fans following a 5-1 Premier League thrashing of 10-man Southampton at St Mary’s. Blues supporters also sang the name of head coach Maresca during the closing stages of an emphatic success sealed by goals from Axel Disasi, Christopher Nkunku, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer and substitute Jadon Sancho. Bottom club Southampton briefly levelled through Joe Aribo but were a man down from the 39th minute after captain Jack Stephens was sent off for pulling the hair of Marc Cucurella. Chelsea, who have endured an underwhelming period since Todd Boehly’s consortium bought the club in 2022, climbed above Arsenal and into second place on goal difference, seven points behind leaders Liverpool. The Blues have scored 57 goals in 22 matches in all comps this season, our best goals-per-game ratio in a single season in our history. 💙 #CFC | #SOUCHE pic.twitter.com/Xrx1SaM3aK — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) December 4, 2024 “It was a very good feeling, especially because you can see that they are happy, that is our target,” Maresca said of the atmosphere in the away end. “We work every day to keep them happy and tonight was a very good feeling, especially the one that they can see that Chelsea’s back. This is an important thing.” Maresca rotated his squad in Hampshire, making seven changes following Sunday’s impressive 3-0 win over Aston Villa. Following a sloppy start, his side, who stretched their unbeaten run to six top-flight games, could easily have won by more as they hit the woodwork three times, in addition to squandering a host of chances. “I’m very happy with the five we scored,” said the Italian. “I’m not happy with the first 15, 20 minutes, where we struggled. The reason why we struggled is because we prepared the game to press them man to man and the first 15, 20 minutes we were not pressing them man to man. “After 15, 20 minutes we adjust that and the game was much better. For sure we could score more but five goals they are enough.” Southampton manager Russell Martin rued a costly “moment of madness” from skipper Stephens. The defender’s ridiculous red card was the headline mistake of a catalogue of errors from the beleaguered south-coast club as they slipped seven points from safety following an 11th defeat of a dismal season. “I don’t think anyone will be as disappointed as Jack,” Martin said of Stephens, who was sent off for the second time this term after tugging the curls of Cucurella as Saints prepared to take a corner. “I haven’t got to sit down and talk with him about that at all. He will be hurt more than anyone and it’s changed the game for us tonight, which is disappointing. “I think they have to describe it as violent conduct; it’s not violent really but there’s no other explanation for that really. It’s a moment of madness that’s really cost us and Jack.” Southampton repeatedly invited pressure with their risky attempts to play out from defence, with goalkeeper Joe Lumley gifting Chelsea their second goal, scored by Nkunku. While Saints were booed off at full-time, Martin, who was missing a host of key players due to injuries and suspensions, praised the effort of his depleted team. “When they see such a big scoreline and a couple of the goals we concede, I understand it (the jeers),” he said. “It’s football, it’s emotive, people feel so much about it, it’s why it’s such a special sport in this country and so big. “I understand it but I feel really proud of the players tonight, some of the football we played at 11 v 11 was amazing. “For an hour with 10 men we’ve dug in so deep, there were some big performances. I’m proud of them for that and I’m grateful for that because that’s not easy in that circumstance.”
Best of the West MBB power rankings: Gonzaga on top despite loss while Oregon soars after big winsWelcome to the unofficial start of the second half of the 2024-25 NHL season. We hope you and yours enjoyed the time no matter how you celebrated. For the Columbus Blue Jackets, they entered the holiday break just four points out of a playoff spot. They’re also in the middle of their division which seems to exceed most every expectation thrown at them this season. This is as good a time as any to look at some important trends both good and bad around the Blue Jackets. How these trends go will dictate how the rest of their season will play out. Today in Part 1 of our mini-series, we’re going to look at the difference between home and road for the Blue Jackets. This is really staggering even at a quick glance. The bottom line is this. If the Blue Jackets were a .500 road team on top of what they’re doing at home, they’d not only be comfortably in the playoffs, they’d be challenging for the top-3 in the Metropolitan Division. So what gives on the road? Road Woes To say the Blue Jackets have been bad on the road doesn’t give it justice. The reason they’re under hockey .500 going into Friday night’s game against the Boston Bruins is because of their road performance. Take a look at these splits . A win on Friday night on home ice would make the records the exact opposite of each other home vs. road (11-4-3 and 4-11-3.) But why though? Why do the Blue Jackets struggle so much on the road? Recently, head coach Dean Evason said that their road play is an area of focus. Even they are at a little bit of a loss for why things are like that. Evason said the thing #CBJ is concentrating on tonight is being on the road. "(It) hasn't been good for us for whatever reason. We need to correct that. We need to turn that scenario around & there's no reason why we should not be a good or a better road team than a home team." Evason is right about one thing. There’s no reason the road record should be like this. But it is clear some things are happening that they need to correct. In watching the tape both home and road, a couple of things stand out in my mind as to why this is happening. If the Blue Jackets are able to stabilize this, they could remain in the playoff race come March. Road Trends The first thing that jumps out is the opposition being able to match up to the Blue Jackets. The concept of last change can play a major role in how a team performs. With last change, the opposition can matchup to what the Blue Jackets are trying to do. They thrive on the rush when their offensive game is on point. Teams have been able to limit their rush chances away from Nationwide Arena. This forces the Blue Jackets to try to have to find other ways to win. So far, they haven’t been able to do that consistently. It’s not that the Blue Jackets can’t win on the road. They have a 5-1 win in Boston and a 4-1 win in Winnipeg on their record. They can’t do it consistently. Check this stat out in terms of offense home and road. The Blue Jackets have scored 67 goals at home in 17 games coming into Friday night. That’s tied for the best in the NHL for total home goals scored along with Vegas and Carolina. That’s also just under 4.00 goals per game. But on the road, it’s a much different story. The Blue Jackets have allowed 72 goals in 18 games which is exactly 4.00 goals against per game. They’ve only scored 49 goals in that span. The other stat that jumps out is power-play efficiency. The Blue Jackets are 25.5% at home and just 12.8% on the road. While it’s reasonable to expect performance being better at home, to have this much separation is staggering. This points to the second thing that stands out. For the purposes of this article, we’ll combine the defense and goaltending into one although both have had their share of issues separately. The Blue Jackets can’t keep the puck out of their net no matter where they play but especially so on the road. They haven’t been able to get a key save when it’s needed. They’ve allowed opponents to dictate the pace with their home crowd behind them. The game in Philadelphia stands out here. With the score 4-3 Blue Jackets late, the Flyers pulled goalie Samuel Ersson. The Flyers gained possession and weren’t challenged nearly enough. They allowed Travis Konecny time and space to pick his spot. The puck deflected on the way in. Game tied. The defense stood back and the goaltending couldn’t bail them out. That game was 2-0 Blue Jackets going to the third period. The Flyers were able to score four to get to overtime and then won it in the extra session when they gained possession. The defense is very much a work in progress. They’ve had some good nights but the bad nights outweigh the good ones. Consistency has been fleeting. The last trend that goes along with the first two is momentum. Once the Blue Jackets lose a lead or are behind, they haven’t done a good enough job of stopping the bleeding. They must find a way to manage momentum better within games. Every game is different with a different set of circumstances. At least so far in 2024-25, the Blue Jackets have been on the short end on the road. They get their first crack at the road post holiday break on Saturday in Boston. We’ll see then if they’ve learned anything from their first 18 games. We’ll also see if some different patterns emerge should their struggles continue.

WASHINGTON - Towana Looney donated a kidney to her mother in 1999 only for the remaining one to fail years later due to pregnancy complications. Now, the 53-year-old from Alabama has become the latest recipient of a gene-edited pig kidney -- and is currently the only living person in the world with an animal organ transplant, New York's NYU Langone hospital announced Tuesday. "I'm overjoyed, I'm blessed to have received this gift, this second chance at life," Looney said during a press conference, held three weeks after the procedure. Xenotransplantation, transplanting organs from one species to another, has long been a tantalizing yet elusive scientific goal. Early experiments on primates faltered, but recent advances in gene editing and immune system management have brought the dream closer to reality. Pigs have emerged as the ideal donors: they grow quickly, produce large litters and are already part of the human food supply. Advocates hope this approach can help address the severe organ shortage in the United States, where more than 100,000 people are waiting for transplants, including over 90,000 in need of kidneys. - A last chance - Looney had been living with dialysis since December 2016 -- eight grueling years. High blood pressure caused by preeclampsia had taken its toll, leaving her with chronic kidney disease. Despite receiving priority on transplant waiting lists as a living donor, her search for a compatible kidney was a frustrating dead end. Her unusually high levels of harmful antibodies made rejection almost inevitable, and as her body lost viable blood vessels to support dialysis, her health declined. Out of options, Looney applied to join a clinical trial for pig kidney transplants, and finally underwent the seven-hour surgery on November 25. Asked how she felt afterward, Looney's joy was infectious. "I'm full of energy, I've got an appetite... and of course, I can go to the bathroom. I haven't been going in eight years!" she laughed, adding that she plans to celebrate at Disney World. Jayme Locke, a surgeon on the transplant team, described the results with awe. "The kidney functioned essentially exactly like a kidney from a living donor," she said, adding that Looney's husband saw a rosiness in her cheeks for the first time in years. "That is the miracle of transplantation." - Cautious optimism - Looney's surgery is the third time a gene-edited pig kidney has been transplanted into a human who is not brain dead. Rick Slayman, the first recipient, died in May, two months after his procedure at Massachusetts General Hospital. The second, Lisa Pisano, initially showed signs of recovery following her surgery at NYU Langone, but the organ had to be removed after 47 days, and she passed away in July. Looney, however, was not terminally ill before the transplant, noted Robert Montgomery, who led the surgery. Each case, he emphasized, provides critical lessons for refining the techniques. The kidney was provided by biotech company Revivicor, which breeds genetically modified herds in Virginia. A Massachusetts-based company, eGenesis, provided the kidney for Slayman. Looney's organ has 10 genetic edits to improve compatibility with the human body -- an advance over Revivicor's earlier efforts that used kidneys with a single gene edit and included the pig's thymus gland to help train the host's immune system and prevent rejection. Montgomery, a pioneer in the field who performed the world's first gene-edited pig organ transplant in a brain-dead patient in 2021, said both methods are likely to enter clinical trials "probably by this time next year, or even sooner." "This is a watershed moment for the future of transplantation," said Kevin Longino, CEO of the National Kidney Foundation. The nonprofit's polling shows that patients and families favor faster clinical trial progress, believing the risk of inaction outweighs the uncertainties of xenotransplantation. Looney was discharged December 6 to a nearby New York City apartment. Though her high antibody levels remain a concern, doctors are monitoring her closely using wearable technology and are trying a novel drug regimen to prevent rejection. Periodic hospital visits may still be required, but the team remains optimistic she can return home in three months.Super Home Inspections: Setting the Gold Standard for Home and Building Inspections in Sacramento, CA 11-27-2024 08:38 PM CET | Industry, Real Estate & Construction Press release from: ABNewswire Sacramento, CA - Super Home Inspections, a trusted name in the inspection industry, is proud to announce its ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality inspection services to homeowners, property buyers, real estate agents, and business owners across Sacramento, CA.

Segment Overview This metallurgical coal market report extensively covers market segmentation by 1.1 Steel making- Metallurgical coal plays a crucial role in the steelmaking industry, primarily used for coke production in the Blast Furnace-Basic Oxygen Furnace (BF-BOF) and Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) processes. While BF-BOF requires larger volumes of metallurgical coal, EAF uses lower amounts. In 2020, the BF-BOF process was the dominant steel production method, with world crude steel output reaching 145.5 million tons (Mt) in November 2023, a 3.3% increase from the previous year. This growth is driven by the rising global demand for steel, particularly in emerging economies like China and India, which are among the largest steel producers. Urbanization, infrastructure development, and the construction of new smart city projects further fuel this demand. Additionally, the coking process produces byproducts such as coal tar and benzol, which have stable demand in various industries. New steel plants are being established globally to meet this rising demand, further increasing the need for metallurgical coal. According to the International Energy Agency, global coal demand reached a record 8.3 billion tons in 2022, driven by its availability and affordability compared to other energy sources. These factors collectively contribute to the growth of the metallurgical coal market during the forecast period. Download a Sample of our comprehensive report today to discover how AI-driven innovations are reshaping competitive dynamics Research Analysis Metallurgical coal, also known as coking coal, is a type of coal with high carbon content and caking ability essential for steelmaking. The world's largest metallurgical coal reserves are found in countries like Australia, China, India, and the United States. Metallurgical coal is primarily used in the production of coke for blast furnaces in the steelmaking process. Coke is produced by heating metallurgical coal in the absence of air to drive off volatile impurities, leaving behind a solid carbon-rich material. Metallurgical coal's high carbon footprint and air pollution make it a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and respiratory illnesses. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) risks associated with metallurgical coal mining and usage are increasingly becoming a concern. Metallurgical coal is used extensively in power generation, but its use is being phased out in favor of cleaner alternatives like natural gas and renewable energy sources. Thermal coal, on the other hand, is used primarily for electricity generation and household heating. The carbon content of thermal coal is lower than that of metallurgical coal, making it less suitable for steelmaking. Coal types include anthracite, bituminous coal, sub-bituminous coal, and lignite. Iron ore, pig iron, and various alloys like ferro-chromium and ferro-manganese are produced using metallurgical coal in the steelmaking process. Market Research Overview Metallurgical coal, also known as met coal, is a type of coal with high coking properties used primarily in steelmaking. It contains a higher carbon content than thermal coal, which is used for power generation and household heating. The world's largest coal reserves include metallurgical coal deposits in countries like China, Australia, India, and the United States. Metallurgical coal's primary use is in the steel industry, where it is transformed into coke in blast furnaces. Coke is essential for iron ore reduction in the steelmaking process, producing pig iron, which is then converted into steel. Metallurgical coal's carbon content, caking ability, and other properties are crucial for the successful production of coke. ESG risks, including carbon footprint and air pollution, are significant concerns for the metallurgical coal market. Greenhouse gas emissions from coal combustion contribute to climate change, while air pollution from coal mining and processing can lead to respiratory illnesses. The metallurgical coal market is also influenced by factors like coal quality, coal classification, and coal utilization. Coal quality is determined by properties like carbon content, ash content, volatile matter, sulfur, and phosphorus. Coal classification systems like the ASTM and the International Coal and Coke Classification System help standardize the assessment of coal quality. Coal utilization includes various applications, such as electricity generation, household heating, anaerobic heating, and the production of carbon fibers, medicines, and chemical products. The steel industry and thermal power plants are significant consumers of metallurgical coal. The metallurgical coal market is influenced by various processes like carbonization, thermal maturity, and coal characterization. Carbonization is the process of heating coal in the absence of air to produce coke and coal tar. Thermal maturity refers to the degree of coal's transformation from a plant to a solid fuel due to heat and pressure. Coal characterization involves analyzing the coal's chemical composition, coal macerals, and coal rank to determine its suitability for specific applications. Coal extraction techniques include coal washing, which separates coal from impurities like rock, clay, and other minerals. Coal blending techniques involve mixing different types of coal to improve the overall quality and reduce impurities. The metallurgical coal market's demand-supply gap can impact prices and availability. Factors like coal reserves, coal production, and coal washing capacity can influence the supply side, while demand from the steel industry and thermal power plants can impact the demand side. The metallurgical coal market's future outlook is influenced by various factors, including technological advancements, environmental regulations, and geopolitical risks. Technological advancements like the Corex process, which uses natural gas instead of coal to produce direct-reduced iron (DRI), could reduce the demand for metallurgical coal in the steel industry. Environmental regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution could increase the cost of producing and using metallurgical coal. Geopolitical risks, such as supply disruptions from major coal-producing countries, could impact the availability and price of metallurgical coal. The metallurgical coal market's future also depends on the development and adoption of alternative energy sources and technologies. Renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power are becoming increasingly cost-competitive with coal-fired power generation. Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies could help reduce the carbon footprint of the steel industry and thermal power plants. In conclusion, the metallurgical coal market is a complex and dynamic system influenced by various factors, including coal reserves, coal quality, steel industry demand, environmental regulations, and technological advancements. Understanding these factors is essential for stakeholders in the metallurgical coal market to make informed decisions and navigate the challenges and opportunities of this industry.

Enzo Maresca savoured chants of ‘we’ve got our Chelsea back’ from travelling fans following a 5-1 Premier League thrashing of 10-man Southampton at St Mary’s. Blues supporters also sang the name of head coach Maresca during the closing stages of an emphatic success sealed by goals from Axel Disasi, Christopher Nkunku, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer and substitute Jadon Sancho. Bottom club Southampton briefly levelled through Joe Aribo but were a man down from the 39th minute after captain Jack Stephens was sent off for pulling the hair of Marc Cucurella. Chelsea, who have endured an underwhelming period since Todd Boehly’s consortium bought the club in 2022, climbed above Arsenal and into second place on goal difference, seven points behind leaders Liverpool. The Blues have scored 57 goals in 22 matches in all comps this season, our best goals-per-game ratio in a single season in our history. 💙 #CFC | #SOUCHE pic.twitter.com/Xrx1SaM3aK — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) December 4, 2024 “It was a very good feeling, especially because you can see that they are happy, that is our target,” Maresca said of the atmosphere in the away end. “We work every day to keep them happy and tonight was a very good feeling, especially the one that they can see that Chelsea’s back. This is an important thing.” Maresca rotated his squad in Hampshire, making seven changes following Sunday’s impressive 3-0 win over Aston Villa. Following a sloppy start, his side, who stretched their unbeaten run to six top-flight games, could easily have won by more as they hit the woodwork three times, in addition to squandering a host of chances. “I’m very happy with the five we scored,” said the Italian. “I’m not happy with the first 15, 20 minutes, where we struggled. The reason why we struggled is because we prepared the game to press them man to man and the first 15, 20 minutes we were not pressing them man to man. “After 15, 20 minutes we adjust that and the game was much better. For sure we could score more but five goals they are enough.” Southampton manager Russell Martin rued a costly “moment of madness” from skipper Stephens. The defender’s ridiculous red card was the headline mistake of a catalogue of errors from the beleaguered south-coast club as they slipped seven points from safety following an 11th defeat of a dismal season. “I don’t think anyone will be as disappointed as Jack,” Martin said of Stephens, who was sent off for the second time this term after tugging the curls of Cucurella as Saints prepared to take a corner. “I haven’t got to sit down and talk with him about that at all. He will be hurt more than anyone and it’s changed the game for us tonight, which is disappointing. “I think they have to describe it as violent conduct; it’s not violent really but there’s no other explanation for that really. It’s a moment of madness that’s really cost us and Jack.” Southampton repeatedly invited pressure with their risky attempts to play out from defence, with goalkeeper Joe Lumley gifting Chelsea their second goal, scored by Nkunku.

After the tragic elimination of Benazir Bhutto, the search for justice remains elusive as the court has acquitted five individuals previously accused of involvement in the case. The men — Eitzaz Shah, Sher Zaman, Abdul Rasheed, Rafaqat and Hasnain — were linked to the assassination as alleged members of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), formed under Baitullah Mehsud’s command just 12 days before Bhutto’s killing on December 27, 2007. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700472799616-0'); }); The law-enforcement agencies had arrested five suspects, claiming to have “concrete evidence” of their involvement in the high-profile assassination. However, on December 15, a court exonerated them, citing insufficient evidence and raising further questions about the investigation’s integrity and the judicial process surrounding the case. Benazir Bhutto, Pakistan’s first female prime minister and an iconic political figure, was assassinated in a gun-and-suicide bomb attack at Liaquat Bagh, Rawalpindi, shortly after addressing a large election rally. Her death shocked the nation and the world, sparking widespread grief and demands for accountability. The failure to identify and prosecute the real perpetrators, conspirators and planners behind Bhutto’s assassination has fueled ongoing criticism of Pakistan’s intelligence and investigative agencies. Despite early accusations linking the TTP to the attack and subsequent investigations, no definitive conclusion has been reached. The acquittal of these five individuals highlights lingering gaps in the case and underscores the challenges of bringing those responsible to justice. For many, it is a painful reminder of the unanswered questions surrounding Benazir Bhutto’s assassination and the justice that remains unserved. In all, 17 years have passed since Pakistan’s prime political leader and two-time Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in a tragic suicide gun-and-suicide bomb attack outside Liaquat Bagh, Rawalpindi, on December 27, 2007. The incident, which unfolded shortly after she addressed an election rally, plunged the nation into despair and sparked widespread outrage. The aftermath of Benazir’s assassination was marked by controversy with critical evidence reportedly destroyed, raising questions about the investigation’s integrity. The crime scene was hastily washed, wiping away crucial forensic evidence, while a significant shake-up in local bureaucracy fueled public suspicions. A press conference by the officials of ministry of interior at the time labelled the incident a terrorist attack, presenting intercepted calls and sketches of alleged perpetrators linked to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). However, these claims failed to convince many, including Benazir’s Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), which demanded a transparent and independent probe. The PPP, under the leadership of President Asif Ali Zardari, rejected an investigation by Scotland Yard initiated by then military ruler Gen Pervez Musharraf, accusing him of complicity in the assassination. Repeated calls for an independent United Nations’ inquiry led to a UN Fact-Finding Mission in 2009, which conducted extensive interviews and investigations. Yet, its report was criticised for being vague and inconclusive, further fueling suspicions. Adding to the intrigue, Gen Musharraf later admitted intelligence agencies had credible threats against Benazir’s life. He revealed then ISI Chief Gen Nadeem Taj had met Benazir on December 26, 2007, warning her against addressing the Liaquat Bagh rally due to imminent threats. Despite the warnings, Benazir proceeded with her plans, demonstrating her unwavering commitment to public service — a decision that ultimately cost her life. Over the years, numerous conspiracy theories came to surface, implicating various actors, but no definitive evidence has come out to pinpoint the culprits. The PPP, which held power from 2008 to 2013, struggled to make substantial progress in uncovering the truth. As Pakistan marks the 17th anniversary of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination, her death remains an enduring mystery. Despite her party’s demands for justice and the public’s outcry for answers, the circumstances surrounding her violent demise continue to haunt the nation, leaving behind a legacy of unresolved grief and unanswered questions.
Bitcoin tops $100,000 as monster 2024 rally reaches new heightsBlues supporters also sang the name of head coach Maresca during the closing stages of an emphatic success sealed by goals from Axel Disasi, Christopher Nkunku, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer and substitute Jadon Sancho. Bottom club Southampton briefly levelled through Joe Aribo but were a man down from the 39th minute after captain Jack Stephens was sent off for pulling the hair of Marc Cucurella. Chelsea, who have endured an underwhelming period since Todd Boehly’s consortium bought the club in 2022, climbed above Arsenal and into second place on goal difference, seven points behind leaders Liverpool. “It was a very good feeling, especially because you can see that they are happy, that is our target,” Maresca said of the atmosphere in the away end. “We work every day to keep them happy and tonight was a very good feeling, especially the one that they can see that Chelsea’s back. This is an important thing.” Maresca rotated his squad in Hampshire, making seven changes following Sunday’s impressive 3-0 win over Aston Villa. Following a sloppy start, his side, who stretched their unbeaten run to six top-flight games, could easily have won by more as they hit the woodwork three times, in addition to squandering a host of chances. “I’m very happy with the five we scored,” said the Italian. “I’m not happy with the first 15, 20 minutes, where we struggled. The reason why we struggled is because we prepared the game to press them man to man and the first 15, 20 minutes we were not pressing them man to man. “After 15, 20 minutes we adjust that and the game was much better. For sure we could score more but five goals they are enough.” Southampton manager Russell Martin rued a costly “moment of madness” from skipper Stephens. The defender’s ridiculous red card was the headline mistake of a catalogue of errors from the beleaguered south-coast club as they slipped seven points from safety following an 11th defeat of a dismal season. “I don’t think anyone will be as disappointed as Jack,” Martin said of Stephens, who was sent off for the second time this term after tugging the curls of Cucurella as Saints prepared to take a corner. “I haven’t got to sit down and talk with him about that at all. He will be hurt more than anyone and it’s changed the game for us tonight, which is disappointing. “I think they have to describe it as violent conduct; it’s not violent really but there’s no other explanation for that really.
