Over the weekend, Jay-Z wore a suit to Roc Nation’s pre-Grammys brunch. The suit was custom-made by Frère, and looked very nice. The suit was also definitely pink, a fact Jay-Z seems insistent on spinning, for some reason.
Peoplereports that Jay-Z told a fan at the brunch who complimented his pink suit that it was not pink. “It’s mauve, bro,” he said. “Mauve. It’s a mauvelous day.”
There’s video, full suit-shot included:
As someone who spends way too much of her free time debating the subtle hue differences in every single Essie shade, I do not personally think this suit is mauve. Merriam-Webster defines “mauve” as “a moderate purple, violet, or lilac color,” or “a strong purple,” and the above suit does not look the least bit purple to me.
Granted, years of blogging have rendered my eyes sad and weak, so I checked in with Gizmodo’s Tom McKay, who says, “I would say, pastel, carnation, or coral. If anyone disagrees with me they are wrong because I am a tetrachromat.”
McKay adds, “It’s possible that it could be described as salmon but it’s not orangey-bright enough. IMO, and anyway all color words are made up and salmon is mostly a euphemism for men to avoid admitting they’re in pink.”
Well, there you have it. Sorry Jay-Z! But the suit looks good! Of course, Beyoncé looked better. [People]
Joe Giudice seems to be handling his split from Teresa Giudice, his wife of two decades, quite well.
The ‘RHONJ’ star was down in Mexico over the weekend at a place called Isla Mujeres. That translates to Island of Women … and, lord, did it live up to the name. Take a look — Joe, who seemed to be on a boys’ trip, was absolutely surrounded by gorgeous babes.
They were pretty into him too from the looks of these photos and videos TMZ obtained. At one point, Joe was seen dancing with some of the girls at a hotel called Izla. Later, he was spotted cozying up with a couple other gals under a cabana on the beach. Heyooo!
It has been six months since Irina Shayk stopped attending tennis matches with Bradley Cooper, and now she’s ready to drop teeny, tiny crumbs about their relationship, tellingBritish Vogue that when she’s done with someone, she’s done. Finally, a celebrity with a breakup ethos I can get behind:
“I have a strong personality and I definitely know what I want, and I think some men are scared of that,” Shayk told the magazine. “If somebody’s out of my life, they’re out of my life and I really cut all the ties, you know? I think some people are really scared of this coldness. I also think not many people know that underneath this there’s a nice, sweet person who cries in interviews.”
Shayk and Cooper share a 3-year-old daughter, so it’s unclear whether the “cut all ties” tactic has actually been implemented in this case. Based on the interview, it doesn’t sound like she begrudges Cooper anything:
“I think in all good relationships you bring your best and your worst – it’s just the nature of a human being,” she says. “Two great people don’t have to make a good couple.”
“I think we’ve been very lucky to experience what we had with each other,” she adds. “Life without B is new ground.” Shayk and Cooper co-parent Lea and – although an extraordinary mother – she admits, “It’s hard to find a balance between being a single mom and being a working woman and provider. Trust me, there are days I wake up and I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I don’t know what to do, I’m falling apart.’”
I’m going to continue to parse this morsel for clues as to whether their uncoupling was StefaniGermonatta–inspired or not, because while Shayk has clearly moved on, I will not until I know the truth. [Vogue]
Kylie Jenner is spooked because she’s been known to fly on the very same helicopter that was carrying Kobe Bryant when it crashed on Sunday, killing everyone on board. Can’t say I blame her.
She most recently took a flight with pilot Ara Zobayan in November with Stormi. Meanwhile, officials are still working t!-->
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott are still hanging out quite a bit in the wake of their breakup — but it looks like they’re only doing so when their kid’s in the picture.
KJ and TS were spotted with young Stormi Sunday at Sky High Sports in Woodland Hills — which is a giant trampoline warehouse. As you can see, it was just the three of them here (plus at least one bodyguard trailing behind) … and the parents got pretty close.
It looks like Kylie might’ve even attempted to take a selfie of the trio while they were walking in. BTW, eyewitnesses tell us they didn’t rent the place out — the family just rolled up like regular customers, although they did bounce around in a VIP area.
In any case, it’s clear they’re not averse to one another … which we’d heard was the case at Stormi’s recent birthday party. Remember, sources told us the former couple were hanging out pretty much through the whole party and gave off signs of a possible rekindling.
Whether she’s sitting front row at a fashion show, walking the runway for a top designer, or holding court on a night out with her BFFs, Kylie always gets cameras flashing with her stylish ensembles. Over the years, the world has watched Kylie evolve from a stylish teen into bold businesswoman and beauty mogul. And as she’s evolved, so has her fashion.
In celebration of New York Fashion Week, currently taking place in the Big Apple, we’re taking a trip down memory lane! As fans of Kylie will know, she’s been in attendance for some of the most iconic fashion shows in the world, from Louis Vuitton in Paris to Jeremy Scott to her brother-in-law Kanye West‘s Yeezy shows. Kylie, now 22, has even hit the runway for multiple fashion shows over the last decade, showing off her impressive walk to cheering crowds.
Check out the gallery below to revisit all of Kylie’s showstopping fashion week moments!

What happens when you mix 5 blokes from Nijmegen, synths, guitars, a love of motorbikes and a helmet camera? Well, you get the latest video from De Staat, that’s what.
Make Way For The Passenger is the precursor to their third album, but the first to be released officially in the UK which is entitled I_Con. The release is due on the 16th of September through Cool Green Records.
The video is shot on the streets of a Dutch city, Nijmegen one presumes, and tells the story from the first person of a motorcyclist. Not for the faint hearted it does contain a passage where a tumble takes place.
The concept is actually quite cool. Give it a whirl below.


Stems are simple or branched and creeping; upper portions are often matted and typically floating. Stem and leaf veins are often reddish in color. Leaves are alternate, oblong and usually form clusters. Bright yellow, sometimes white, flowers are solitary, trumpet-shaped. Root at stem nodes. Plant is always glabrous (smooth) with no hairs.
|Habitat Notes||Slow moving water, ditches, irrigation channels, streambanks, ponds and along lake and reservoir edges.|
|Mature Height||Up to 10’ long|


Publication Date: 2012-07-23 Journal information: Astronomische Nachrichten E-print: DOI: 10.1002/asna.201211702 Bibliographic code: 2012AN....333..634S Abstract: We report the observations of 289 methanol maser sources at 6.7 GHz obtained over a two month period with the Torun 32 m telescope. The data form a catalogue of all objects north of δ = −22◦ brighter than 7.5 Jy in the peak emission. The positions of sub-arcsecond accuracy are updated for 76 % of the objects. We find that about one third of the sources show
changes in the peak fluxes by a factor of two or more on time scales of 8.5–9.5 years.
Observations performed by 32-m radio telescope were used.: Yes
Publication Date: 2012-07-18 Journal information: Astrophysical Journal E-print: arXiv:1206.0055 DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/754/2/149 Bibliographic code: 2012ApJ...754...149D Abstract: Milliarcsecond very long baseline interferometry maps of regions containing 6.7 GHz methanol maser emission have lead to the recent discovery of ring-like distributions of maser spots and the plausible hypothesis that they may be tracing circumstellar disks around forming high-mass stars. We aimed to test this hypothesis by imaging these regions in the near- and mid-infrared at high spatial resolution and compare the observed emission to the expected infrared morphologies as inferred from the geometries of the maser rings. In the near-infrared we used the Gemini North adaptive optics system of ALTAIR/NIRI, while in the mid-infrared we used the combination of the Gemini South instrument T-ReCS and super-resolution techniques. Resultant images had a resolution of ~150 mas in both the near-infrared and mid-infrared. We discuss the expected distribution of circumstellar material around young and massive accreting (proto)stars and what infrared emission geometries would be expected for the different maser ring orientations under the assumption that the masers are coming from within circumstellar disks. Based upon the observed infrared emission geometries for the four targets in our sample and the results of spectral energy distribution modeling of the massive young stellar objects associated with the maser rings, we do not find compelling evidence in support of the hypothesis that methanol masers rings reside in circumstellar disks. Observations performed by 32-m radio telescope were used.: No
Publication Date: 2012-05-31 Journal information: Astronomy & Astrophysics E-print: arXiv:1204.0806 DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201218999 Bibliographic code: 2012A&A...541A..72B Abstract: Context. The 22.2 GHz water masers are often associated with the 6.7 GHz methanol masers but owing to the different excitation conditions they likely probe independent spatial and kinematic regions around the powering young massive star.
Aims: We compared the emission of these two maser species on milliarcsecond scales to determine in which structures the masers arise and to test a disc-outflow scenario where the methanol emission arises in a circumstellar disc while the water emission comes from an outflow.
Methods: We obtained high-angular and spectral resolution 22.2 GHz water maser observations of the two sources G31.581+00.077 and G33.641-00.228 using the EVN.
Results: In both objects the water maser spots form complex and filamentary structures of sizes 18-160 AU. The emission towards the source G31.581 + 00.077 comes from two distinct regions of which one is related to the methanol maser source of ring-like shape. In both targets the main axis of methanol distribution is orthogonal to the water maser distribution. Most of water masers appear to trace shocks on a working surface between an outflow/jet and a dense envelope. Some spots are possibly related to the disc-wind interface which is as close as 100-150 AU to the regions of methanol emission. Observations performed by 32-m radio telescope were used.: No
Publication Date: 2012-01-31 Journal information: Astronomy & Astrophysics E-print: arXiv:1110.0773 DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201117263 Bibliographic code: 2012A&A...537A...5W Abstract: Context. Ground-state OH maser emission from late-type stars is usually polarized and remains a powerful probe of the magnetic field structure in the outer regions of circumstellar envelopes if observed with high angular and spectral resolutions. Observations in all four Stokes parameters are quite sparse and this is the most thorough, systematic study published to date.
Aims: We aim to determine polarization properties of OH masers in an extensive sample of stars that show copious mass loss and search for candidate objects that are well-suited for high angular resolution studies.
Methods: Full-polarization observations of the OH 1612 and 1667 MHz maser transitions were carried out for a sample of 117 AGB and post-AGB stars. Several targets were also observed in the 1665 MHz line.
Results: A complete set of full-polarization spectra together with the basic polarization parameters are presented.Polarized features occur in more than 75% of the sources in the complete sample and there is no intrinsic difference in the occurrence of polarized emission between the three classes of objects of different infrared characteristics. The highest fractional polarization occurs for the post-AGB+PN and the Mira+SR classes at 1612 and 1667 MHz, respectively. Differences in the fractional polarization between the sources at different evolutionary stages appear to be related to depolarization caused by blending. The alignment of the polarization angles at the extreme sides of the shell implies a regular structure of the magnetic field of a strength of 0.3-2.3 mG.
Conclusions: Polarized OH maser features are widespread in AGB and post-AGB stars. The relationship between the circular and linear fractional polarizations for a representative sample are consistent with the standard models of polarization for the Zeeman splitting higher than the Doppler line width, whereas the polarized features are the σ components. Observations performed by 32-m radio telescope were used.: No
Publication Date: 2011-06-08 Journal information: Astronomy & Astrophysics E-print: 2011arXiv1105.4089S DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201117145 Bibliographic code: 2011A&A...531L..3S Abstract: We report the discovery of periodic flares of 6.7 GHz methanol maser in the young massive stellar object G22.357+0.066. The target was monitored in the methanol maser line over 20 months with the Torun 32 m telescope. The emission was also mapped at two epochs using the EVN.
The 6.7 GHz methanol maser shows periodic variations with a period of 179 days. The periodic behavior is stable for the last three densely sampled cycles and has even been stable over ∼12 years, as the archival data suggest. The maser structure mapped with the EVN remains unchanged at two epochs just at the putative flare maxima separated by two years. The time delays of up to ∼16 days seen between maser features are combined with the map of spots to construct the 3-dimensional structure of the maser region. The emission originating in a single ∼100 AU layer can be modulated by periodic changes in the infrared pumping radiation or in the free-free background emission from an HII region.
Observations performed by 32-m radio telescope were used.: Yes
Publication Date: 2011-01-01 Journal information: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Volume 525, id.A120 E-print: http://arxiv.org/abs/1009.2334 DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201015235 Bibliographic code: 2011A&A...525A..120B Abstract: 22 GHz water and 6.7 GHz methanol masers are usually thought as signposts of early stages of high-mass star formation but little is known about their associations and the physical environments they occur in. The aim was to obtain accurate positions and morphologies of the water maser emission and relate them to the methanol maser emission recently mapped with Very Long Baseline Interferometry. A sample of 31 methanol maser sources was searched for 22 GHz water masers using the VLA and observed in the 6.7 GHz methanol maser line with the 32 m Torun dish simultaneously. Water maser clusters were detected towards 27 sites finding 15 new sources. The detection rate of water maser emission associated with methanol sources was as high as 71%. In a large number of objects (18/21) the structure of water maser is well aligned with that of the extended emission at 4.5 $mu$m confirming the origin of water emission from outflows. The sources with methanol emission with ring-like morphologies, which likely trace a circumstellar disk/torus, either do not show associated water masers or the distribution of water maser spots is orthogonal to the major axis of the ring. The two maser species are generally powered by the same high-mass young stellar object but probe different parts of its environment. The morphology of water and methanol maser emission in a minority of sources is consistent with a scenario that 6.7 GHz methanol masers trace a disc/torus around a protostar while the associated 22 GHz water masers arise in outflows. The majority of sources in which methanol maser emission is associated with the water maser appears to trace outflows. The two types of associations might be related to different evolutionary phases. Observations performed by 32-m radio telescope were used.: Yes
Publication Date: 2010-11-25 Journal information: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Volume 524, id.A99 E-print: DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201014810 Bibliographic code: 2010A&A...524A..99S Abstract: OH masers from the envelopes of M-type supergiants show a significant degree of polarization, implying magnetic fields of a few mG. Nothing is known about the temporal characteristics of the magnetic fields or how such changes may affect stellar mass loss.
We therefore observed two supergiant stars in order to quantify the long-term polarization behaviour of the maser emission.
Full-polarization spectra at 1612 and 1667 MHz were obtained with the Nançay radio telescope at intervals over periods of 4 and 6 years for S Per and VX Sgr, respectively.
Time series of OH maser full polarization spectra are presented. Semiregular variations of the integrated flux densities generally follow the visual light curves as expected for radiative pumping cycles. For both sources the variability indices of individual features are higher at 1667 MHz than at 1612 MHz and their extreme values occur for the blue-shifted emission. The degrees of polarization at 1667 MHz show diverse behaviours usually uncorrelated with the total flux, whereas those at 1612 MHz are commonly stable on time scales of 4-6 yr. Several outbursts of the 1667 MHz emission on time scales of 0.5-2 yr were found in both targets. The bursting features are highly polarized and show drifts in velocity. Small changes of the degrees of polarization and smooth variations of position angle of linear polarization during the bursts were observed in S Per but they are more dramatic in VX Sgr.
The OH outbursts do not seem to have any direct link to stellar events, but seem to be localized in the wind.
Observations performed by 32-m radio telescope were used.: No

“Since for all men the visibility of the future is zero beyond this instant, assumptions as to how long observed trends will continue must be based on probabilities which in turn have been derived from the past and hence may not apply to the future. This is a long-winded way of saying that all estimates of the future are to some degree subjective.
The business of the stock market is to cash in on the future now. Accordingly it is really not as important, short term, to know what sales and earnings are going to be five and ten years hence as to know what other investors are going to think they will be. In general the longer a trend continues the more people can be found willing to risk their savings on the proposition that it will continue longer still. As a practical matter then we probably should assume that old trends will persist longer than new trends simply because, whether they do or not, more investors will be inclined to assume that they will.”

So on the 19th April 2014, Kakaotalk had their a Youtube Bringing You Together-Gether event at The Gardens. Amelia was one of the few lucky ones who score passes to this event. Guess who was her teman? hehe <3 Thank you Amelia :) Actually I didn't know about this event until Amelia kept telling me about it and I thought why not and just go to see what was lined up for Youtubers at the event lo :) Thanks Amelia!
The crowd at 2pm
We arrive right on time as when they say it would start but apparently we were suppose to arrive around 1.30pm to register ourselves. Dear Amelia didn't know about it and we came in at 2pm with lots of people already filling up the entire place and we end up way behind. Oh wells. haha. Thought that we would be the oldest there but it turns out that aunties also turn up for the event and some looked way older than us :D Good to know that there are all ages of fans to the youtubers.
Oh for this event, Zalora collaborated with KakaoTalk. So all of the outfit you see the youtubers wearing at this event is from Zalora :)
Photo Credits: Amelia
Curious to know how some of the youtubers started out?
Continue Reading for more information :)
Photo Credits: Amelia
While waiting for the event to start, let's us take a selfie. hehe
Okays before I start, I just want to say that I am writing this to how I remember the event. If there is anything untrue or miswritten, just let me know by commenting at the bottom :)
The Ming Thing was the first Youtuber Group
Anyone here don't know who they are? Somehow when I first heard of The Ming Thing (TMT), I thought they were some Chinese speaking youtube group because of 'Ming' as their name. Sound so racist right? Haha. Well, for those that don't know about The Ming Thing, check out their VIDEOS HERE. My favourite video from them is Your Accent Come From Where & This Is Why Web Series :)
So if you don't know, the reason why they are call The Ming Thing is because the Ming brothers started the Youtube channel and along came Bryan and Raffi. Ming Han and Ming Yue are indeed brothers. Can you guess which is the older one? Haha. To be honest, when I first started watching their videos, I had no clue that they were even related. I guess it's sort of like Jacq and I, both personality and looks are way different, so I guess it's hard to tell unless you know their names! :D So yeah. They talked about that after they introduce themselves on stage. Bryan and Raffi are the ones in charge of filming and slowly getting in front of the camera too. Raffli was HILARIOUS on their recent upload of Cheer Auditions, GO WATCH! :D
Ming Han, Ming Yue, Raffi and Bryan
Besides that, they also premiere their new video to all of us. Everyone laughed like crazy as it was so relatable and well it's the reality and expectations of a relationships. I bet the couples could especially hint this to their partners. TMT also talked about how they are back from their hiatus period and that they will be more consistent in uploading their videos :) Besides that, TMT also emphasized to those who are thinking of starting a youtube channel, to just start now without waiting for the perfect time. So all you aspiring youtubers, you heard the man! Just do it! Don't wait :D
Next up was The Grim Film
Somehow I forgotten why are they named The Grim Film but it first started by both Jared and Roy. Their first video was The Long Distance. Not quite sure if you all have watched it before, but when it was first uploaded I remember replaying it on Youtube a LOT. It was the first time I watch a 'bittersweet' kinda video on Youtube? You know how most of Youtube videos are quite hilarious and funny, well theirs were thought provoking and emotionally beautifully written la. Somehow at the end of their videos, I would always wanna run to my love ones and say I love you. I guess sometimes videos like that show us how lucky we are to have people around us to love us. So yeah :) Oh, they also mention that Roy is no longer with them, but they do have Hassan now in charge of videography, while Wei Chen is currently the one in charge of marketing for The Grim Film :)
Jared, Hassan and Wei Chen
Believe it or not but Wei Chen and Jared are brothers! Guess 'siblings' are like the new partners to start a youtube channel eh? :) Besides that, they also mention that they are currently filming a new video for Mother's Day, inspired by their own Mother's story. So stay tune to their channel, HERE :)
Joseph Germani was next
When his name was called up, you should have listen to the amount of girls screaming his name. It was like the entire room was his fan club. haha. All them young girls. hehe. Joseph talked about his solo video-ing experienced and how he didn't quite thought through about his Youtube name? He talked about how how he first started as a youtuber and his first meet up with Dan Khoo. The way he describe it was hilarious, apparently Dan Khoo asked him to collaborate and to act in his video. The first thing Dan told him was to strip down for the video. Which caught Joseph off guard but that was apparently the first of the many videos that they have collaborated together. Joseph then talked about his first video with JinnyBoyTV, where we acted as Ah Wing and he had to even cross dressed. It's funny how youtubers meet. haha.
Joseph talking about his youtube experience
Next up the emcee asked him a series of questions regarding Monchichi. So Joseph explained that Monchichi was all Lareine's idea. How the chorus of Monchichi was actually her victory song after she wins a game. Forgotten what game did they played? It was one of those online games la, either DOTA or Counter Strike. So yeah. That's pretty much it :)
The emcee even asked him to show Monchichi dance moves.
I recorded it, so enjoy! :D
Oh did I mention that everyone in the hall sang along to Monchichi too? haha.
Check out his other videos HERE :)
Dan Khoo was next! :)
Dan talked about how he first started Youtube but gave up later and focus in college? Back then he had less than 20 people following him for a couple of years. Then when he started back at Youtube he used Dan Khoo Production as his new account. Kinda wonder, what is his old account name but he said, he won't be sharing that information with anyone. haha. So since then he collaborated with a lot of other Youtubers. Currently one of his highest viewed video is BANANA with Ling Big Yong and Dennis Yin. To those that don't speak mandarin but are chinese can relate to that video the most. I know I could relate to it since I am a banana myself. haha.
Last picture of the event
Shortly half way through his speech, Amelia and I had to run off as I had a speech to make somewhere else. Was kinda disappointed to leave because I wanted to hear the what Jin and Reuben had to say lo ): Oh wells.
Apparently they showed and talked about their new video, The Rose. For more videos of JinnyBoyTV, CLICK HERE! Do check out Abuden & Only in Malaysia! Amazing videos :) That's all I know what happen after we left. Besides that, all of the Youtubers also played games with those that came to the event. Some of the attendees got to score some KakaoTalk Toys home. haha.

Mercedes in £46m offer to Lewis Hamilton
Briton’s huge pay rise as Ratcliffe invests £125m
Mercedes will begin negotiations with Lewis Hamilton this week about a new £46.5 million-a-year contract for the six-times world champion as they try to stop him moving to Ferrari.
Hamilton, whose £31 million-a-year deal expires at the end of the season, will arrive at the team’s headquarters in Brackley, Northamptonshire, today after spending much of the winter break in the United States.
Contact with Toto Wolff, the team principal, has been limited to text messages but Mercedes are looking to secure Hamilton’s future after yesterday announcing a sponsorship deal — thought to be worth £25 million a year — with Ineos, the company of Britain’s third-richest man, Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Wolff is adamant that Hamilton, 35, will remain with Mercedes, who have won the constructors’

A member of a well-known family of Southside developers plans to slice up a big piece of Powhatan property.
David Sowers of Stone Harbor LLC, recently bought 456 acres along Manakin Town Ferry Road for $1.47 million.
He plans to divvy up the property into lots of about 10 acres each, install state-approved roads where needed and then sell the lots individually. He’s named the subdivision Watkins Mill after a Civil War-era sawmill that was once located in the area.
“The lay of the land is very nice,” Sowers said. “It’s a prime location. You can be at (Route) 288 in just a few minutes.”
Sowers said the wooded lots will vary in price depending on their location and topography, but estimated that most will fall between $130,000 and 160,000.
Eight lots along Manakin Town Ferry Road are already up for sale, and two of those are under contract, Sowers said. The other lots will be available as roads are installed. He estimated that Watkins Mill will have a total of about 40 lots.
The eastern Powhatan County property is zoned for agricultural use. Sowers said it would allow a buyer to build a house in a rural setting or own horses, for example.
Sowers said he’ll finance the project through a combination of personal funds and a loan from First Capital Bank.
Sowers purchased the tract of land from RZB Properties LLC, which was represented in the sale by David Smith of Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer, according to a Thalhimer press release.
Some of Sowers’ other projects include the Brattice Mill and Stone Harbor subdivisions in Chesterfield County. He also did Southport Industrial Park with his brothers and fellow developers Mark Sowers and the late Buddy Sowers.

Fort Myers man accused of DUI in fatal Alligator Alley crash
A Fort Myers man was arrested after police said he caused a traffic crash that killed a person in Broward County on Tuesday.
The Florida Highway Patrol said 30-year-old Nisbany Surit Garcias was under the influence at the time of the crash on the southbound lanes of Interstate 75 near mile marker 41.
His blood alcohol content was almost twice the legal limit, according to an arrest report for Garcias.
Kimberly VanReese, 21, of Andover, Minnesota, was ejected from the 2018 Ford F-350 passenger van after Garcias's vehicle collided with it, according to a news release. There were 15 occupants, including the driver, in the F-350. All were taken to the hospital with serious injuries. VanReese's mother and a 4-year-old were among the injured.
According to the Associated Press, the occupants of the van, all from Minnesota, were heading back to Fort Lauderdale after leaving a Minnesota Twins spring training game earlier in the day.

Prior to the crash, numerous callers had phone authorities about Garcias erratic driving.
Garcias was transported to Broward County Medical Center with minor injuries where he was arrested.
Garcias is accused of one count of DUI manslaughter, three counts of DUI with serious bodily injury, and five additional counts of DUI injury damage for the other occupants of the vehicle.
Garcias remained in custody at the Broward County Jail.

With more than 600 factories dedicated to making festive decorations, a city in China is the real home of Christmas.
But there are no reindeer, elves or snow. Instead there are thousands of cheap labourers who live in tiny cramped apartments and work 10-hour-days, seven-days-a-week, in order to earn as much money as possible from the Christmas rush.
It is estimated that 60 per cent of the world's Christmas decorations are produced in the city of Yiwu, in Zhejiang province, eastern China.
Staff like Wei Chang, 19, complain that the hours are long but say that by staying the course in the two or three months of running up to Christmas, they can earn as much as they would in the whole year.
He said: "I came here with my dad from our home in Guizhou province, we are both saving up to pay for my wedding. I think we'll get enough this year and don't think we will come back next year. The work is really hard and I've always got a cough from the red paint."
In fact many of the people in the area end up sporting red-coloured faces and clothing from the mass of red paint used to cover the millions of decorations churned out every day.
Wei and his father spend 10 hours in this factory every day producing plastic snowflakes for about 3,000 RMB (£300) per month. Red powder used as colouring floats in the air, and the two go through about 10 face masks a day trying not to breathe it in.
Most of the workforce do not know what Christmas is all about, and the holiday is not celebrated in China as their new year is the time for families to get together.
Wei said: "We make all sorts of strange things here that get painted bright red and covered in glitter, I don't know what it's all about but it's a job and I'm not complaining as long as it lasts. A friend told me Christmas is the equivalent of the Chinese New Year for foreigners."
Yiwu, just a couple of hours south of Shanghai by fast train, is known locally as China’s Christmas market.
In 2001 there were just 10 factories making Christmas decorations, now that number has spiralled to more than 600 and what was a former village is now making 60 percent of the world's Christmas decorations and more than 90 percent of China's in the few places that insist on celebrating Christmas with the rest of the world.
Yiwu receives orders from all around the world every day. Cai Qingliang, 56, the vice chairman for the Yiwu Christmas Products Industry Association, said that although many Chinese production companies suffered, Christmas business was still booming.
He said: "This year is still going well and surprisingly although orders from abroad have decreased slightly, Christmas seems to be catching on in China where the increased demand is more than covering the shortfall."

Travel Insurance Market Analysis
The global travel insurance market reached a USD 13.9 billion value in 2021. Travel insurance provides financial protection for expenses or losses incurred due to unexpected events while domestic or overseas travel. It covers the costs of lost or stolen belongings, emergency medical care, accidental death, and trip cancellation and interruption. It takes effect from the day of travel until the insured returns home. Nowadays, several companies provide travel insurance with 24/7 emergency services, such as replacing lost passports, cash wire assistance, and re-booking canceled flights. They are also offering customization options depending on the insured individuals' geographical location and requirements.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to a halt, with unforeseeable and unexpected implications affecting global economies, people's lives, communities, and livelihoods too, and the risk of layoffs and global recession was at an all-time high. The travel and tourist industry has also endured severe economic slowdowns due to harsh travel restrictions and quarantine regulations worldwide. As per a report published by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) in January 2021, international visitors in 2020 fell dramatically from the previous year of 2019. The worldwide travel insurance market was affected by such causes. The market gained traction in 2021 after the gradual relaxation of the lockdowns imposed.

Travel Insurance Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Travel Insurance Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand for Travel Insurance
Travel companies and industry experts always advise travelers to purchase travel insurance, but less cautious travelers historically ignore this advice. Over the last two years, the pandemic’s tumultuous journey has made the travel industry unpredictable. The cancellation and abandonment of trips are now commonplace, while a need for medical assistance is now a genuine possibility. There is now a general acceptance from travelers that when they book their holiday, there is a certain probability that they could experience these issues and will need to make a claim.
Consumer sentiment also suggests that travel insurance is a ‘must-have purchase in today’s marketplace. With many travelers stung by the pandemic’s impact on previous holiday plans, travel insurance can alleviate the stress of such issues and ensure tourists are not left out of pocket due to unforeseen circumstances. The continuance of the pandemic will ensure that claims for medical expenses, quarantine, and cancellations will be required for many tourists.

Expansion of Tourism Industry
In the last decade, the global tourist industry has seen consistent development. Many countries are becoming travel hubs and gaining more popularity among millennials. Increased package holidays, disposable income, broad media coverage of various holiday types, and easy internet travel bookings have expanded the tourism industry. In addition, many students are shifting to other countries for further studies and programs. Additionally, several universities and colleges are also offering scholarship programs, attracting students from around the world. As the tourist industry expands, more cases of crucial documents, lost luggage, natural disasters, and medical issues are reported.
In 2021, the Asia Pacific travel insurance market accounted for about 25% of the revenue share impelled by increasing government investments in tourism projects. The government intends to develop measures for a full-fledged inbound recovery while boosting travel demand, depending on the situation with the coronavirus and the recovery of the travel industry.

I’m heading to come in an instant to indicate that a lot of investment banking companies are not real investment banks. But let’s talk about what a genuine investment bank does. It does underwriting of securities. That means-suppose you’re a ongoing company and you want to issue stocks. You need you to definitely go to bat for you, someone who knows the kind of individuals who might buy your shares, and can attest to you. So in some sense, it’s a reputation thing.
The investment bank or investment company has contacts among people who make big investments, and the issuance is handled by them of your new shares, and that’s called an underwriting. If it’s the very first time you’ve issued shares, it’s named an IPO, or preliminary public offering. So, you’re a private company, it’s just you and some friends own the company, but you want to visit community now, you would generally go for an investment bank or investment company, and speak to them about how to do it.
And the investment bank or investment company would solve that problem for you by doing an underwriting. So, there’s two kinds of underwriting traditionally. Also, there’s something called a seasoned offering also, and that means, for an organization that has recently gone public, and it already has shares traded, so the shares are seasoned, but you want to issue more shares.
So, you can go to an investment bank or investment company to do that, as well. There’s two kinds of deals. There’s a bought deal, and there’s a best initiatives then. Having a bought deal, the investment bank buys your shares. They go in and say, you know, we know that people can get market for your stocks. We will get them ourselves and resell them on the market.

NIH study in Latin America concludes test should be included in treatment monitoring
For children being treated for HIV in less developed countries, monitoring to predict the occurrence of serious HIV-related illnesses is most accurate if it includes a measure of HIV levels in the blood, according to a National Institutes of Health study conducted throughout Latin America.
Termed viral load, the quantity of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) genetic material in the blood is a barometer of the effectiveness of HIV treatment. High viral loads indicate potential treatment failure, which can then lead to a weakened immune system and increased risk of infections.
Monitoring children’s viral load is standard in the United States. However, the technology to perform viral load testing is difficult and expensive to maintain and, for these reasons, is often unavailable in less developed settings. Instead, in these settings, clinical symptoms or immune cell number are used to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. The current study is the first to assess the value of adding viral load to monitoring of symptoms and tests of immune function in children receiving anti-HIV treatment in a less developed setting.
The study authors noted that, in resource poor settings, shipping blood samples to a central facility where viral load levels could be measured might provide a cost effective alternative to performing viral load measurements at each clinical care site.
The researchers found that a viral load of 5,000 copies per milliliter of blood predicts a higher risk of serious illness in children on HIV treatment, providing clinical evidence for new World Health Organization recommendation on when to change HIV medications when it appears that a child’s HIV treatment is failing.
"Our study showed that adding viral load monitoring would significantly improve the monitoring regimen used to safeguard the health of children being treated for HIV." said George K. Siberry, M.D., M.P.H., senior author of the study. Dr. Siberry is a medical officer in the Pediatric, Adolescent and Maternal AIDS Branch of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the NIH institute that funded the research.
The authors noted that using dried blood spots for viral load testing might provide a cost effective alternative to routine viral load testing methods. Although they did not evaluate this alternative in their study, the authors cited earlier research, of blood spots collected on filter paper. The authors noted that blood spots could be readily used to detect viral load at the level that predicted clinical illness in the current study. Filter paper, such as that used for newborn screening programs in the United States, could be used to collect blood samples in remote or poor areas, which could then be shipped to a central facility where they could be processed reliably and economically.
The study was led by first author Ricardo Oliveira, of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He collaborated with colleagues at the University of Sao Paulo, University of Caxias do Sul, Federal University of Sao Paulo and the Emilio Ribas Institute of Infectious Diseases, all in Brazil, as well as researchers at Westat and the NICHD. The study was undertaken as part of the NICHD International Site Development Initiative (NISDI).
"The NISDI pediatric protocol follows HIV-infected children in Latin America as a way to learn more about the impact of the infection and its treatment on children while also helping to build clinical research infrastructure," explained NISDI principal investigator Dr. Rohan Hazra. The findings were published online in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.
To conduct the study, the researchers analyzed the medical records of 600 children with HIV who were receiving treatment at hospitals in Brazil, Mexico and Peru. The children were under age 15 and had been on anti-HIV medication for at least six months.
The children’s viral load levels were monitored every six months, along with counts of CD4 white blood cells (to measure immune strength) and oxygen-carrying molecules (hemoglobin) in red blood cells. The children’s growth and development were also followed.
The researchers sought to determine whether the most recent measurements of viral load could predict serious HIV-related illnesses, classified by the World Health Organization as stage 3 and 4 events (PDF - 1.2 MB). Stage 3 and 4 events are the most serious of the HIV-related illnesses that affect people whose immune systems have been weakened by the virus.
The research team evaluated the predictive value of two viral load levels: 400 copies of viral genetic material per milliliter of blood and 5,000 copies per milliliter. The team also analyzed the added risk of incremental increases in viral load. The research team found that the measure of a child’s most recent viral load was the most effective for predicting illness, especially when the level was above 5,000 copies per milliliter. Above this threshold, a child had nearly twice the risk of developing a WHO stage 3 or 4 event. The researchers found that this prediction was independent of CD4 cell and hemoglobin levels in the blood as well as the child’s body mass index. A combination of all three measurements most accurately predicted impending illness.
The NICHD sponsors research on development, before and after birth; maternal, child, and family health; reproductive biology and population issues; and medical rehabilitation. For more information, visit the Institute's Web site at http://www.nichd.nih.gov/.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) — The Nation's Medical Research Agency — includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is the primary federal agency for conducting and supporting basic, clinical, and translational medical research, and it investigates the causes, treatments, and cures for both common and rare diseases.

The United States found itself without a Chief Technology Officer yesterday when Todd Park relinquished his post to go trawl Silicon Valley for IT types, but that spot may not stay open for long. Bloomberg claims that there’s already a frontrunner for the job: Megan Smith, the 49 year old vice president of Google’s moonshot-loving X division. If the rumors hold true, Smith would become the country’s third CTO , and the first not to trade one government job for another.
Google Inc. executive Megan Smith is close to heading to the White House. Smith, 49, who was most recently a vice president at Google’s X lab, is a top candidate for the role of U.S. chief technology officer, according to people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified because the process is private. Smith would become the third person to fill the CTO job, after Aneesh Chopra and Todd Park, who recently resigned and is returning home to California this month. Park will take on a new role for President Barack Obama’s administration as a technology adviser based in Silicon Valley, the White House said yesterday. Courtney Hohne, a spokeswoman at Mountain View, California-based Google, declined to comment. A White House official declined to comment and Smith didn’t return requests for comment. The CTO serves as a kind of White House chief geek-in-residence, tasked with overseeing the government’s use of technology, including finding ways to create jobs and increase the use of broadband.

The “cringe” followers who have praised the latest claim that controversial media figure Andrew Tate has lung cancer have come under fire from XQc, who have taken a strong stand against them.
While streaming king xQc was scrolling through tweets regarding the news during his Twitch show yesterday, he decided to speak out against people who were applauding it, a current trend he had been noticing on social media.
Here’s what xQc said; “Celebrating someone’s health struggles/cancer is just not a thing I can align with, sorry bitch ass. I’ve said this for Trump, for whoever the fuck, for all the people that I don’t agree with, I don’t give a fuck, it’s just something that I don’t do, ok. Cause if you can justify it for this person, then you’ll justify it for another person, and at one point, you’re gonna end up being happy that someone has cancer or diseases because they just don’t agree with you. That’s just cringe, man, that’s lame. He’s in a legal process that the public knows fucking nothing about, these things are incredibly complicated, ok? And it would require a thorough investigation from experts after the fact, let alone clickbait titles during the process. And because of these things that are happening, you’re gonna say ‘yo, dude, fuck him because he’s got cancer, fuck you bitch,’ and you don’t even know what the fuck is happening, that’s so cringe, man.”
Although it’s still unknown whether Andrew Tate has been diagnosed with lung cancer, some people have suggested that it may just be a ruse to get him back to Dubai and out of trouble for his alleged involvement in human trafficking.

The current study examined the cognitive outcomes following ThinkRx, a clinician-delivered cognitive rehabilitation training program for soldiers recovering from traumatic brain injury (TBI) and acquired brain injury (ABI). In a retrospective chart review, we examined cognitive outcomes of 11 cases who had completed an average of 80 hours of ThinkRx cognitive rehabilitation training delivered by clinicians and supplemented with digital training exercises. Outcome measures included scores from six cognitive skill batteries on the Woodcock Johnson – III Tests of Cognitive Abilities. Participants achieved gains in all cognitive skills tested and achieved statistically significant changes in long-term memory, processing speed, auditory processing, and fluid reasoning with very large effect sizes. Clinically significant changes in multiple cognitive skills were also noted across cases. Link to article: http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fpsyg.2017.00825/full

In a randomized controlled study, the effects of a one-on-one cognitive training program on IQ, memory, visual and auditory processing, processing speed, reasoning, and attention for students ages 8-14 were examined. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group to complete 60 hours of cognitive training or to a wait-list control group. The purpose of the study was to examine changes in general intelligence and individual cognitive skills after completing cognitive training with ThinkRx, a LearningRx program. Results showed statistically significant differences between groups on all outcome measures except for attention. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are examined.

Journal of Experimental Education: Learning, Instruction, and Cognition, 84(3), 600-620. doi: 10.1080/00220973.2015.1065218. This article describes two trials testing the efficacy of the LearningRx one-on-one cognitive training program and its computer-based version (Brainskills) in laboratory and school settings. Study 1 tested Brainskills in a laboratory setting with 322 middle school students. Paired t-tests revealed significant gains on all cognitive measures and math performance after 3 weeks of training. Study 2, a randomized control study, included 225 high school students randomly assigned to one of three conditions: LearningRx, Brainskills, or study hall (control) in a school setting for a 15-week training period. Univariate ANCOVAs revealed significantly higher scores for the treatment groups compared with controls on working memory, logic and reasoning, and three of four math attitude measures.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the comprehensive cognitive training program, ThinkRx. Sixty-one children (ages 6-18) were given pretest and post-test cognitive assessments. Thirty-one students completed a 24-week cognitive training program in a LearningRx center. A matched control group of thirty children did not receive training. Multiple regression analyses indicated that treatment group membership was a statistically significant predictor of outcomes in long-term memory, logic and reasoning, working memory, processing speed, auditory processing, and Word Attack. The treatment group realized significantly greater gains in six of seven cognitive measures. Link to study: http://www.covd.org/?page=VDR_1_2

In a randomized controlled study, we examined the effects of a one-on-one cognitive training program on memory, visual and auditory processing, processing speed, reasoning, attention, overall IQ score, and behavior for students ages 8-14 with ADHD. Results included greater pretest to post-test change scores on all variables for the treatment group versus the control group with statistically significant differences noted in working memory, long-term memory, logic and reasoning, auditory processing, and IQ score. Qualitative outcomes included far transfer to cognition and behavior as reported by participants, parents, and clinicians.
Moore, A.L., Carpenter, D.M., Miller, T.M., & Ledbetter, C., (2017). Transfer Effects from Two Methods of Delivering Cognitive Training to Children with Learning Struggles: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Manuscript in peer review.
In a randomized controlled trial assessing equivalence of parallel groups of children ages 8-14, we compared cognitive and behavioral outcomes between a group who received 60 hours of ThinkRx cognitive training delivered one-on-one by a clinician (n = 20) versus a group of children who received 30 hours of ThinkRx delivered by a clinician and the remaining 30 hours through digital training procedures (n = 18). Results showed no significant differences between groups on tests of working memory, logic and reasoning, auditory processing, visual processing, processing speed, or overall IQ score. Behavioral outcomes were similar between both delivery methods. These results suggest that both delivery models are efficacious interventions for children with learning struggles.
Ledbetter, C., Faison, M.O., & Patterson, J. (2016). Correlation of cognitive training gains and resting state functional connectivity. Presented at Society for Neuroscience, November 2016, San Diego, CA.
In a randomized controlled trial, 30 high school students were randomly assigned to ThinkRx cognitive training (n = 11), Brainskills digital training (n = 12), or a control group (n = 7). Resting state MRI results showed training-induced gains in global efficiency associated with visual processing, auditory processing, contextual associations, the default mode network, and the cerebellum. For all seven cognitive skills measured, changes in resting state functional connections correlated with changes in performance on the test. Link to results
Doctoral Dissertation Examines Real-Life Benefits of Cognitive Training
Dr. Edward Jedlicka used an observational survey completed by parents to evaluate whether LearningRx brain training produced noticeable, real-life improvements in their children, especially in the areas of cognitive skills, academic success, and oppositional behavior. Read the dissertation. Associated manuscript is in second peer review.
Doctoral Dissertation Examines the Profiles of Cognitive Trainers Associated with Success for Students
Dr. Amy Moore studied characteristics of 150 cognitive trainers that predicted outcomes for 1,195 clients with and without ADHD. After examining the predictive value of trainer personality, degree level, degree field, certification level, and pre-hire cognitive screening score on client gains in long-term memory, working memory, processing speed, and general intelligence, she found that no trainer profile held practical significance. Dr. Moore concluded that the intervention itself may be more important than the characteristics of the person delivering it. Read the dissertation.

This report summarizes the analysis of reading and math achievement outcomes for more than 6,000 students who completed a ReadRx or MathRx training program at LearningRx between 2008 and 2014. ReadRx students made statistically significant gains on tests of Word Attack, Spelling Sounds, Sound Awareness, and Passage Comprehension. The mean gain across reading achievement tests was 3.6 years. MathRx students made statistically significant gains on tests of Math Fluency, Applied Problems, and Quantitative Concepts. The mean gain across math achievement tests was 3.3 years. In a subset of students who provided state achievement test results, 91% percent of the students who completed the ReadRx program showed improvement on state reading achievement tests after the intervention. See the results of the study.

This presentation reports the changes in IQ from before and after LearningRx training of more than 18,000 students between 2008 and 2015. The average IQ before training was 97 and the average IQ after training was 111, resulting in an average IQ gain of 14 points. The presentation also reports on a subset of 40 students with double baseline testing, revealing a decline in IQ between the time of diagnosis and beginning LearningRx training and then a dramatic increase in IQ following LearningRx training. See the results of the study.
Effectiveness of LearningRx Among Students in the Lowest Quartile
Doctoral Student Alicia J. Luckey, M.A., Educational Psychology, Arizona State University, examined the effect of LearningRx training on 2,080 clients who completed programs in 2006. She focused on clients whose before-training scores fell in the lowest 25%. Read the report.

Nurfika Osman & Anita Rachman
In the past, when you got lost while driving in the middle of nowhere there were few options other than to pull over and ask a friendly local for directions, a system that for the most part worked pretty well.
Those days, however, have passed and people today are increasingly relying on high-tech Global Positioning Systems to point them in the right direction, whether traversing the confusing maze of streets in Jakarta or exploring the back roads of the country.
Vendors in the country say the demand for GPS for personal vehicles has grown steadily over the past two years, and they do not expect the trend to slow down.
Aridan Widyatama, a bank employee, said on Friday that he had installed a GPS in his car to help keep him orientated.
“I need it. I’m bad at directions and the GPS I put in my car helps me a lot,” Aridan said.
He added that he bought his GPS in 2008 for Rp 4.1 million ($440) at West Jakarta’s Glodok electronics center.
Kartika Rani, a housewife who frequently hits the road with her children and college friends, also had nothing but good things to say about her GPS.
“I don’t mind spending Rp 4.5 million on a GPS for my car as long as I can arrive safely at the places I want to visit,” Kartika said. She bought her GPS in 2007.
Last year her husband also installed a GPS on his motorbike at a cost of just Rp 1.1 million.
Toni Achmad said he used his GPS simply because he was a gadget freak, rather than having any real need for it.
“I really love gadgets and that’s the reason I use GPS while driving. It seems to me that using GPS is cool,” he said, adding that he paid Rp 4 million for his GPS back in 2006.
“I also like the sound of ‘turn right’ and ‘turn left’ while I am using the unit,” he said.
Gunaris, who works for a store that sells GPS, surveying tools and maps in Pondok Labu, South Jakarta, said GPS technology had advanced markedly in recent years.
“More people are buying GPS units for their cars and it’s also getting more popular with the biker community,” Gunaris said. “Lifestyle trends have definitely had an affect on how many GPS units we sell.”
Gunaris said GPS sales had doubled from 2008 to 2009.
He said the Nuvi 205 series for cars, which sells for Rp 2.3 million per unit, was among his store’s most popular devices.
“That is the cheapest one available, but its accuracy is good,” he said.
He added that the Edge 705, which costs Rp 5.7 million, was the best-selling GPS model for bikes.
Gunaris said that he dealt with 20 to 30 customers a day.
“On average, we can sell 10 GPS units a day,” he said.
With dealers in 50 locations in large cities such as Jakarta, Surabaya and Pontianak, Gunaris is optimistic that GPS technology will remain popular.
Sidik Mulyono, an engineer at the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), told the Jakarta Globe that GPS receivers began to hit the Indonesian market when the United States started to offer information from its GPS satellite system to the public for free.
“It was probably in about the 1990s that GPS receivers first began to be sold in this country,” Sidik said.
The technology is mostly used to monitor positions, he said, adding that he had seen significant growth in the use of the technology in Indonesia. “And it still has more room to grow,” he added.
Sidik said, however, that not everyone who had the technology actually used the GPS information to its full potential.
He said only certain commercial interests, such as taxi or oil companies, were making effective use of GPS data, primarily to monitor how their vehicles travel from one point to another.
“In fact, people with smartphones can also benefit from the data provided by GPS satellites,” he said. “Most people don’t know that their cellphones can provide these kinds of alternative services.”
According to Sidik there has not been enough done to educate the public about the ability of smartphones to provide these kinds of enhanced services, in addition to the commonly used SMS, phone calls and browsing technology.
“GPS will give you information about your current position, and at the same time it can show you roads and maps,” he said.
In neighboring countries like Malaysia and Singapore, he said, people have benefited from GPS being used to provide information to the public. Some countries, for example, provide the location of trains or buses to people waiting at stations.
He said this kind of service had yet to be provided for Indonesian train and bus passengers.
Sidik said the accuracy of the data depended on the GPS receiver, but added that nearly all of today’s receivers had little problem delivering accurate data. In addition to providing location data, GPS can also provide information about altitude, he said.
“I am sure this technology is expanding and that there are still other applications that can be developed from data sent by GPS satellite,” he said.

Texas lawmakers mull giving tax breaks for natural disasters
HOUSTON (AP) - Lawmakers are considering a bill that could grant Texas homeowners a tax break when their property has been damaged by disasters such as 2017's Hurricane Harvey.
The Houston Chronicle reports that bill sponsor Sen. Paul Bettencourt says it would give homeowners an opportunity to challenge unjust property tax bills after a natural disaster.
The bill would basically remove cities, counties and other governmental agencies from the disaster reappraisal decision-making process. It also includes guidelines on how appraisers must complete the work.
Hurricane Harvey caused widespread damage and flooding along the Texas Gulf Coast, with winds speeds topping 130mph. Just a portion of the more than 200,000 damaged structures in the state's 60 counties were reappraised.
The proposal has passed the Senate and the House could vote on it next week.
