The Crescent Beach Trestle is to be replaced by a cement trough structure in which the rails are carried on traditional ballasted roadbed but ironically the swing bridge built in 1914 (on which this gear head was recently replaced) will remain.

Despite the fact that the Voigtlander is an f/1.2 lens I discovered that most of my images were at f/22.

Grangegorman College has recently become Technological University Dublin [TU]

I live so close to this college campus that I could claim that I live on it and i expect that it will, over the next few years, have a massive impact on the local area. I am hoping that it will be a positive impact.

Grangegorman Campus Development: TU Dublin, in conjunction with the Grangegorman Development Agency, Health Service Executive and Dublin City Council is developing a new unified campus which will be located at Grangegorman in Dublin’s North West Inner city. The campus will bring together the University's core and supporting activities in a single vibrant environment, integrating with the strategic development of Dublin City and providing a range of facilities for Students and Staff, for industry and the wider community. Together with the existing Campus in Blanchardstown and Tallaght this will be the heart of the new Technological University Dublin.

The 40 mm/1:1.2 Nokton is a fast, manual lens. It is the world`s first full-frame 40 mm lens with an aperture of f/1.2, while retaining a compact size. The optical formula includes two aspherical lenses, and the photographer can rely on optical performance and enjoy a smooth bokeh at the maximum aperture.

Images of some of the original Robotic, Science and Interactive Art Exhibits that MRISAR’s R&D Team has designed and fabricated.

In 2010 MRISAR, (a business that has Designed, Fabricated & Marketed the Earth’s Largest Selection of “Internationally Renowned & Awarded, World-Class Robotics Exhibits & Devices”; and “Hands On” Scientific, Technological & Interactive Art Exhibits), purchased a disused school on the plains of North Dakota and relocated to it. Profit from their International Exhibit Sales helps fund their Humanitarian R&D and the transformation of the 36,000 sq. ft. complex, surrounded by 10 acres in North Dakota, into a World-Class “Interactive, Robotics, Technology, Invention, Art & Nature Center”.

Description of MRISAR’s “Interactive; Robotics, Technology, Invention, Art & Nature Center”.

1- Our 7,000 sq. ft. Exhibit Hall will feature; our standard line of interactive robotic & technology exhibits that we sell to Centers world-wide and our exclusive collection of robotic exhibits & devices that we will not sell to anyone else. Our talking Rail Robot Guide will lead visitors through the exhibit hall. Interact with our innovative, lifelike, futuristic, Robotic creations. Examples; Play with & feed Artificial Life forms in a Robot Zoo! Challenge robots with your human intelligence! Interact with otherworldly artistic, interactive, robotic sculptures! It will also feature Responsible Technologies.

2- Our Art Galleries will display the hundreds of pieces of family friendly, original 2D, 3D and Interactive Art that our team has already created, plus have revolving Family Oriented Local Artists Exhibitions.

3- The surrounding 10 acres is slowly being transformed into an Outdoor Interactive Art & Nature Area that will be filled with paths, trees, gardens and kinetic & interactive, solar & wind, technological art sculptures. The emphasis is edible, medicinal & organic landscapes that promote sustainability & health. As of 2015 over 3,000 edible and medicinal trees and shrubs have been planted.

4- We will provide “Special Tours” of behind the scenes areas. Examples are; (a) our Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development Think Tank Invention labs that feature our R & D Projects. (b) the actual workshops where the attractions are created (similar to visiting the workshops & creations of Jim Henson’s creature shop). (c) a behind the scenes view of the production studio for the web series we are creating called the “Mysterious Lab of Robotics” (our robotic version of “Bill Nye the Science Guy” or “Beakman’s World”). (d) a chance to meet MRISAR’s internationally renowned robotics R & D team. A four member family team who since 2000 has designed, fabricated & marketed the earth’s largest selection of world-class robotic exhibits. The 2 youngest members joined the team as preschoolers.

5- “Public Enrichment Events”. Examples are; (a) special overnight events called “A Night with the Robots” (available no-where else in the world). Families can make reservations to spend the night on the center floor in sleeping bags or cots and experience special robotic demonstrations in a futuristic atmosphere. In recent years “A Night at the Museum” events have become very popular and highly accepted. (b) special classes on robotics for the general public. (c) Robotics Competitions. We are already providing technical assistance to teachers and academic establishments (both in the state and outside of the country), that are trying to enter robotic competitions, but lack the knowledge to fully instruct and inspire their students. A natural progression for this, once we are open for tourism, would be to offer to hold regional, national and international competitions at our location. (d) International conferences regarding Robotics and Beneficial R & D Conferences. (e) Collaborations, enrichment classes and internships in enhanced technologies with higher academic establishments; combining elements such as Cybernetics, Bionics, Mechatronics, Autonomics, Animatronics & Teleoperation.

6- Admission will be free to the underprivileged. We hope to inspire the upcoming generation to create careers in responsible technologies that improve the quality of life.

7- The proceeds from the Center will help fund our R & D and further our creation of a “Prototype Environment, low cost, low impact, self-sustaining, alternative energy powered, Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development institute with Think Tank Invention labs”. Our purpose is to invent and present responsible, low cost and easy to implement, beneficial humanitarian and environmental based technologies and methods that assist with social, ecological, sustainable and economic solutions. Accomplishing the prototype environment alone requires research & development of new technologies & improvement of existing technologies.

We have Designed, Fabricated & Marketed the Earth’s Largest Selection of "Internationally Renowned & Awarded" World-Class Robotics Exhibits & Devices; and “Hands On” Scientific, Technological & Interactive Art Exhibits. Our innovative, interactive, inexpensive, durable & easy to maintain creations incorporate interactive technologies & designs for people with disabilities and other special needs. We also provide our own Educational Kits & Materials for K thru 12/College & University level curriculums.

Our Exhibit Sales Customers include World-Class Science Centers, Museums, Universities, NASA, Royalty, Foreign & Domestic Governments, the Film Industries for inclusion in media productions, etc. We specialize in Cybernetics, Bionics, Mechatronics, Autonomics, Animatronics & Teleoperated devices.

Our Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development has been presented before and/or published and awarded by: the United Nations, NASA-Emhart, Stanford, Cambridge, ICORR, ROMAN, IEEE, Discover Awards, International Federation of Robotics (IFR), etc. Our 1990's circa, original innovative R & D in "Facial Feature Controlled Technology" and "Artificial Sense of Touch Technology" (Adaptive Technology prototypes for the disabled), has helped pioneer those fields! We were the only company in the world to be awarded an entire chapter regarding our work in the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) “World Robotics; Service Robotics, 2011”.

A lie told often enough becomes the truth.

The NTU Solar Car Racing Team is composed of undergraduate students from the

School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) and the School of

Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) of the Nanyang Technological

University in Singapore. Work started in 2006 when a group of final year

students approached the MAE with the intention to compete in the World Solar

Challenge race. The design and development of the Nanyang Venture II as the

solar car is named continued with successive batches of students. This

year, the dedication and concentrated efforts of the current team finally

paid off when solar car took shape and competing became a reality.

Το 1864 τα μεταλλεία του Λαυρίου λειτούργησαν ξανά μετά από αρκετούς αιώνες. Φτωχοί εργάτες από όλη την Ελλάδα κατέφθασαν στην περιοχή για να δουλέψουν, ανάμεσα τους και πολλές γυναίκες και παιδιά. Δούλευαν από τα ξημερώματα έως τη δύση του ηλίου χωρίς σταματημό, με μοναδική παρέα τα ποντίκια, τα μοναδικά ζώα που επιβίωναν στην περιοχή και μέσα στις στοές. Τις περισσότερες φορές οι εργάτες πέθαιναν νωρίς από μολυβδίαση ή πνευμονοκονίαση, ασθένειες που εμφανίζονται σε ανθρώπους που εκτίθενται για χρόνια στη σκόνη και τις θανατηφόρες χημικές ουσίες των ορυχείων....

Οι εγκαταστάσης ανήκαν στην Γαλλική Εταιρεία Μεταλλείων Λαυρίου με ιδρυτή και ιδιοκτητη τον Ι. Β. Σερπιέρη.

In 1864 the mines of Lavrion working again after several centuries. Poor workers from all over Greece arrived on the scene to work, among them many women and children. They worked from dawn to dusk without stopping, with unique group mice, unique animals surviving in the region and through the galleries. Most often workers die early from lead poisoning or pneumoconiosis, diseases that occur in people exposed for years to dust and deadly chemicals mine ....

The plants belong to the French Mining Company of Lavrion founder and owner of G. B. Serpieri.

We live in a hyper-technological society in which family life is failing, a world where we can learn anything except how to be parents; how to raise children with values and limits, how to say No more often, how to discipline them.

It is said that we must raise children in freedom. No demands on them. Let them dictate their own rules and do as they please. These are well-intentioned mistakes whose consequences we are paying for daily: children and adolescents who run away, commit suicide, kill and drug themselves.

The absence of the mother in the home and the weakening of fatherly authority have become a central issue of a daily reality that threatens to destroy the family as an institution. Alone, in front of a computer our children grow up in a state of emotional emptiness. Consequently, they do not grow up. Christina Balinotti provides an enlightening handbook designed to show mothers (and fathers) how to lead and strengthen the family. It is a defense of the most important and significant event of human experience: parenthood.

Christina Balinotti is an Argentine author and lecturer. She holds a bachelor’s degree in the social sciences with graduate studies in Psychology including three years of special studies in Philosophy and Literature in her native Buenos Aires. She also has ample knowledge in the field of quantum physics.

She has resided in Miami since the year 2000, where she works as an international analyst on TV and Radio, investigating the crimes and suicides of our young people and their relationship to maternal absence during a child’s early years in this and in other developed societies.

Through her Foundation, Holistic Femininity, Christina Balinotti organizes conferences and annual workshops at several Florida universities (FIU, UM, SUAGM) as well as in important venues in Miami for the purpose of educating women in the essential recovery of family values and in the pathways of holistic femininity, all free of charge.

In 2013 she hosted a radio show at Radio Nova Internacional as well as a weekly TV Show at Telemiami in which she, together with other professionals, including sociologists, historians and psychologists, analyzed the role of women in Western cultures. Proud mother and grandmother.

Lawrence Technological University was founded in 1932 in Highland Park, MI by the Lawrence brothers as the Lawrence Institute of Technology; it changed its name in 1989. The institute moved to Southfield, Michigan from its site in Highland Park, Michigan in 1955. I am still researching to see who designed the engineering building and architecture building; the Michigan Modern blog has that Earl W. Pellerin "led the teams" that designed the buildings.

New life on an old coalmining site. What you see here is a very special place (and an technological and architectural masterpiece). The "Akademie Mont Cenis" has been erected on the area of a former coal mine from which it took its name (the mine started production in 1875 and closed down in 1978; it was named after the famous Mont Cenis tunnel in the French alps which was a technical sensation at the time of the foundation of the coal mine).

What you find now in this place is a center for congresses, meetings and conventions, an education and training center, a community center - and a large and innovative power plant. The latter makes intelligent use of the choke damp which still comes out of the mine shafts and is combined with 10.000 square meters of roof-mounted photovoltaic cells. The complex sets new standards in environmental friendly energy production. It opened in 1999. The glass cubus which you see in the image hosts several buildings and creates a comfortable microclimate for everybody who works there or visits the place. The supporting stands which bear the roof are made from wood. The architecture office which designed the structure is based in Lyon / France.

The Akademie Mont-Cenis has a website both in English and in German which is worth a look: www.akademie-mont-cenis.de/

I shot this image with an older Tokina MF zoom lens which produces an unusual low amount of linear distortion. (Normally I avoid using zoom lenses for architecture photography).

I live a few minutes from the campus and it is about a seven minute walk to the area shown in my photographs assuming that I can pass through Kings Inns and the new pedestrian-cycle route connecting Constitution Hill to Grangegorman. Access to Kings Inns is limited at weekends and bank holidays] and the cycle-path is currently operational from 7AM to 4PM Monday-Friday and 7:30 to 14:00 on Saturdays.

Recently DIT Grangegorman College was rebranded as TU.

In 2014, the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT), Institute of Technology, Blanchardstown (ITB) and Institute of Technology, Tallaght (ITT) jointly entered into a formal process to merge into a university. At the time, following the "Institutes of Technology Act of 2006", there were fourteen IT's in Ireland, and a political appetite emerged to amalgamate several to form a more advanced third-level institution, known as a technological university, similar to that of Delft and other technological universities in Europe.

The Dublin bid, proposed by the three institutes, eventually coalesced in 2014 to seek designation as a technological university under the project title "Technological University for Dublin Alliance" / "TU4Dublin". A final application was submitted in April 2018, following the signing into law by President Michael D. Higgins of the "Technological Universities Act 2018".

The formation of the Technological University of Dublin was approved in July 2018, and the university was formally established on 1 January 2019, on which date the preceding institutions were dissolved.

The university consists of three main campuses, located in Grangegorman ("City Campus"), Blanchardstown, and Tallaght - the campuses previously of DIT, ITB, and ITT respectively, the institutes which have amalgamated. The Grangegorman campus will complete ongoing relocation of activities at Kevin Street and Cathal Brugha Street, expanding its capacity to 10,000 students, while development is planned for the other two campuses during the formative years of the university.

According to the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, the new university will have an "entrepreneurial ethos", and will offer degrees and programmes ranging from Level 6 to Level 10 in the National Framework of Qualifications. While having an emphasis on computer science and STEM subjects, given its status as a technological university, Minister for Education and Skills Richard Bruton stated that the university will aim to sit at "convergence of the arts, business, science and technology."

In a distant future, a war rages between China and Japan over Hong Kong and the surrounding areas. Japan, facing a population crisis and famine, invades Hong Kong in a desperate bid for land. Among the many technological advancements employed in the war, one stands out: the "Grandmas" androids.

These androids were not specifically designed for war, but rather emerged from civilian purposes naturally. The idea behind their creation was to prolong the lives of elderly women by turning them into androids, half machine and half human. The creators of the Grandmas chose to use elderly women as the base for their androids because of the differences in neuroplasticity between young and old brains.

Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of the brain to change and adapt in response to experiences. In young brains, neuroplasticity is high, allowing for quick learning and adaptation, but also making it harder to control the behavior of the brain. In contrast, in old brains, neuroplasticity is lower, making it easier to control and direct the behavior of the brain. This is why the creators of the Grandmas decided to use elderly women as the base for their androids.

However, as time passed, the Grandmas' brain tissue began to decay and artificial intelligence started to take over more and more parts of their brain. Despite this, their behavior remains the same, as the small parts of living brain tissue that still remain continue to dominate their behavior. Their primary function is to cook and care for all those around them, even other androids, although they do not need food themselves. They often pretend to eat just to make the other grandmas happy. They also tend to wounded or damaged androids, applying dirt and old rags to the damaged components and trying to comfort the machine. These behaviors are not programmed, but have developed naturally, as the Grandmas' loving and caring nature dominates their behavior.

In addition to their caretaking duties, the Grandmas also chat constantly, providing wisdom and anecdotes, spreading gossip, and talking the entire time. They have an endless stream of stories and observations from their long lives and they share them with anyone who will listen. They are also known to be a great source of comfort and solace for the soldiers on the battlefield, providing a sense of normalcy and humanity in the midst of the chaos and destruction of war.

Grandmas do not fight in combat, but they are often seen trying to break up furious fights on the battlefield, often putting themselves in danger to do so. On rare occasions, they will fight if they witness injustice on the battlefield, using all their advanced abilities to defend the innocent.

Despite the care and compassion that the Grandmas show, many humans avoid them and children are often scared of them, while adults are often annoyed by their caring nature. But as the war rages on, the Grandmas continue to provide a beacon of hope and humanity amidst the destruction and chaos. As the war progresses, the Grandmas become more and more important to the soldiers as they provide not only food and care, but also a sense of normalcy and humanity in the midst of the chaos and destruction of war.

The Grandmas' unique blend of advanced technology and human-like behavior make them a powerful symbol of the blurred lines between human and machine in this war-torn future. They may not have been specifically designed for war, but the Grandmas' presence on the battlefield serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, compassion and humanity can still prevail. Even as their brains decay and artificial intelligence takes over more and more of their functions, the Grandmas' ingrained behavior and love for others continues to shine through.

Access to Kings Inns is limited at weekends and bank holidays] and the cycle-path is currently operational from 7AM to 4PM Monday-Friday and 7:30 to 14:00 on Saturdays.

Recently DIT Grangegorman College was rebranded as TU.

In 2014, the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT), Institute of Technology, Blanchardstown (ITB) and Institute of Technology, Tallaght (ITT) jointly entered into a formal process to merge into a university. At the time, following the "Institutes of Technology Act of 2006", there were fourteen IT's in Ireland, and a political appetite emerged to amalgamate several to form a more advanced third-level institution, known as a technological university, similar to that of Delft and other technological universities in Europe.

The Dublin bid, proposed by the three institutes, eventually coalesced in 2014 to seek designation as a technological university under the project title "Technological University for Dublin Alliance" / "TU4Dublin". A final application was submitted in April 2018, following the signing into law by President Michael D. Higgins of the "Technological Universities Act 2018".

The formation of the Technological University of Dublin was approved in July 2018, and the university was formally established on 1 January 2019, on which date the preceding institutions were dissolved.

The university consists of three main campuses, located in Grangegorman ("City Campus"), Blanchardstown, and Tallaght - the campuses previously of DIT, ITB, and ITT respectively, the institutes which have amalgamated. The Grangegorman campus will complete ongoing relocation of activities at Kevin Street and Cathal Brugha Street, expanding its capacity to 10,000 students, while development is planned for the other two campuses during the formative years of the university.

According to the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, the new university will have an "entrepreneurial ethos", and will offer degrees and programmes ranging from Level 6 to Level 10 in the National Framework of Qualifications. While having an emphasis on computer science and STEM subjects, given its status as a technological university, Minister for Education and Skills Richard Bruton stated that the university will aim to sit at "convergence of the arts, business, science and technology."

Despite the fact that the Voigtlander is an f/1.2 lens I discovered that most of my images were at f/22.

Grangegorman College has recently become Technological University Dublin [TU]

I live so close to this college campus that I could claim that I live on it and i expect that it will, over the next few years, have a massive impact on the local area. I am hoping that it will be a positive impact.

Grangegorman Campus Development: TU Dublin, in conjunction with the Grangegorman Development Agency, Health Service Executive and Dublin City Council is developing a new unified campus which will be located at Grangegorman in Dublin’s North West Inner city. The campus will bring together the University's core and supporting activities in a single vibrant environment, integrating with the strategic development of Dublin City and providing a range of facilities for Students and Staff, for industry and the wider community. Together with the existing Campus in Blanchardstown and Tallaght this will be the heart of the new Technological University Dublin.

The 40 mm/1:1.2 Nokton is a fast, manual lens. It is the world`s first full-frame 40 mm lens with an aperture of f/1.2, while retaining a compact size. The optical formula includes two aspherical lenses, and the photographer can rely on optical performance and enjoy a smooth bokeh at the maximum aperture.

Presenting technological platforms to support civil society.

The fifth round of regional consultations and capacity building workshops (aka "TechCamps") with civil society took place in Jakarta, Indonesia, bringing together over 40 civil society activists from Cambodia, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

In the consultations, participants discussed ways in which the international community can better assist and support civil society globally. In the workshop, participants were introduced to a variety of technological tools and platforms that may help them in their work.

Living in Tokyo one of the things that is bluntly brought to my attention is just how many people there are walking around on the planet. Tokyo is technological marvel in that it's a city with a population living in the area that exceeds that of the entire population of Canada. I remember reading somewhere that there are about the same number of people alive now on the planet as to everyone that's lived since the dawn of man.

This kind of stuff blows my mind. Obviously agriculture got us a long way towards this number, but nothing has helped out like medical science has. How often is it that somebody dies of some kind of illness before the age of 18 in industrialized nations? Hardly ever right? Back then many people died from either being physically handicapped, various illnesses etc. a bad role of the genes dice, but that doesn't matter anymore. If there is something you wrong they can fix it most of the time. If I had been born during the stone age I sure would be dead now. I was born with my feet turned inward and I had hearing problems as a child. I surely would have been somethings lunch since I mostly like wouldn't of heard it coming (or not until it was too late) and then if I did I wouldn't be able to run very well due to my legs. Thanks to medical science my legs were broken and reset straight when I was a baby and I had 3 sets of tubes put in my ears to take care of the drainage problem I had. (I eventually grew out of that problem)

My point to all this is that we have basically removed natural selection in the human race. No longer due genes determine who lives and who dies. Since everyone lives the population can't regulate itself. This also poses the problem that the gene pool is polluted (for lack of better words) with less than perfect genes. If you are not right at birth we fix it. If you are considered unattractive, we fix that too. In the short term this seems ok, but I wonder what this will do for the human race over the next few hundred years. Also, people are living longer than ever. In the stone age, you were lucky to live to see 30. Now almost everyone lives to be over double that.

On top of that, how long can we sustain this population growth? Economically we are setup to depend on this, so doing the one child thing fails as China has proven. I think there are no real answers yet that are doable. Moving to other Earth like planets maybe, but with the current investments in the space program, I don't see that happening ever.

Something has got to give though. The way things are run around the world, we have already surpassed the peak of modern civilization and are now on the beginning of a downwards slide. Resources are becoming more expensive or running out. Not enough drinkable water. Food chain is being interrupted by man's obvious mistakes, and ones we have yet to notice until it'll be almost too late.

I guess I can say I am glad to have lived when I did. Living in a time where you get to experience the peak of everything is a bit selfish, but it will surely go down in the history books as one of the most interesting times to have been alive. I am not making a judgment of what we should or shouldn't do, but just my own opinion and observation. There is clearly no simple solution.

In a distant future, a war rages between China and Japan over Hong Kong and the surrounding areas. Japan, facing a population crisis and famine, invades Hong Kong in a desperate bid for land. Among the many technological advancements employed in the war, one stands out: the "Grandmas" androids.

These androids were not specifically designed for war, but rather emerged from civilian purposes naturally. The idea behind their creation was to prolong the lives of elderly women by turning them into androids, half machine and half human. The creators of the Grandmas chose to use elderly women as the base for their androids because of the differences in neuroplasticity between young and old brains.

Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of the brain to change and adapt in response to experiences. In young brains, neuroplasticity is high, allowing for quick learning and adaptation, but also making it harder to control the behavior of the brain. In contrast, in old brains, neuroplasticity is lower, making it easier to control and direct the behavior of the brain. This is why the creators of the Grandmas decided to use elderly women as the base for their androids.

However, as time passed, the Grandmas' brain tissue began to decay and artificial intelligence started to take over more and more parts of their brain. Despite this, their behavior remains the same, as the small parts of living brain tissue that still remain continue to dominate their behavior. Their primary function is to cook and care for all those around them, even other androids, although they do not need food themselves. They often pretend to eat just to make the other grandmas happy. They also tend to wounded or damaged androids, applying dirt and old rags to the damaged components and trying to comfort the machine. These behaviors are not programmed, but have developed naturally, as the Grandmas' loving and caring nature dominates their behavior.

In addition to their caretaking duties, the Grandmas also chat constantly, providing wisdom and anecdotes, spreading gossip, and talking the entire time. They have an endless stream of stories and observations from their long lives and they share them with anyone who will listen. They are also known to be a great source of comfort and solace for the soldiers on the battlefield, providing a sense of normalcy and humanity in the midst of the chaos and destruction of war.

Grandmas do not fight in combat, but they are often seen trying to break up furious fights on the battlefield, often putting themselves in danger to do so. On rare occasions, they will fight if they witness injustice on the battlefield, using all their advanced abilities to defend the innocent.

Despite the care and compassion that the Grandmas show, many humans avoid them and children are often scared of them, while adults are often annoyed by their caring nature. But as the war rages on, the Grandmas continue to provide a beacon of hope and humanity amidst the destruction and chaos. As the war progresses, the Grandmas become more and more important to the soldiers as they provide not only food and care, but also a sense of normalcy and humanity in the midst of the chaos and destruction of war.

The Grandmas' unique blend of advanced technology and human-like behavior make them a powerful symbol of the blurred lines between human and machine in this war-torn future. They may not have been specifically designed for war, but the Grandmas' presence on the battlefield serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, compassion and humanity can still prevail. Even as their brains decay and artificial intelligence takes over more and more of their functions, the Grandmas' ingrained behavior and love for others continues to shine through.
