hk television entertainment

hk television entertainment ( hktve ) , a subsidiary of telecoms giant pccw , has unveiled the name and logo of its new free tv service , viutv .
hong kong – hk television entertainment company limited ( hktve ) today unveiled the name and logo of its new free tv service , viutv . viutv’s cantonese digital channel will be designated channel 99 .
hong kong television network limited is a hong kong listed company ( sehk : 1137 ) .
not to be confused with hong kong television network , the legal successor of city telecom .
the government has invited radio television hong kong ( rthk ) to provide an analog tv service to take over asia television ' s ( atv ) programs from april 1 next year until 2020 .
the hong kong government has cancelled the broadcast license of asia television , the territory’s oldest free - to - air tv network group .
yesterday , tvb ( 0511 ) , soon to be the only operating free - to - air tv station , put out a new online platform , mytv super , showing chinese and east asian dramas , movies and entertainment shows from 30 channels . the subscription fee starts at hk $ 68 a month .
lofai lo , general manager of hktve , said viutv will produce a series of ‘factual entertainment’ programmes which he hoped would be extremely entertaining and compelling .
however , to maintain a decent free - to - air tv station , rthk would need to step up its efforts in producing entertainment programs . this would require significant financial backing .
last year , legco voted against a hk $ 6 . 1 billion budget request from the government to fund a new headquarters for rthk . lawmakers said at the time that the plan was too costly and hong kong did not need any more tv channels .
its integrated cantonese channel and integrated english channel will commence within 12 months and 24 months respectively after the grant of licence . the cantonese channel will provide round - the - clock service , while the english channel will broadcast a total of 16 hours of television programmes with two loops of eight hours each .
to cater to the needs of different viewers , viutv will not only offer locally produced factual entertainment , news and financial content , but also actively identify international sports , internationally popular dramas and variety shows , information and cultural programs , etc . to make a comprehensive and quality channel for hong kong people .
explaining the fundamental concepts of viutv , mr . lofai lo , general manager of hktve , said , “the letter “v” stands for “view” and “video” while “i” and “u” refer to “me” and “you” symbolizing people as the core of the hong kong - based free tv service viutv . viutv will produce a series of “factual entertainment” programs which will be not only full of talking points but also extremely entertaining and compelling . ” for example , “travel with rivals” is a program in which artistes and celebrities travel in pairs and express their innermost feelings throughout the journey . more details of viutv’s factual entertainment programs will be announced in due course .
the hong kong government has cancelled the broadcast license of asia television , the territory’s oldest free - to - air tv network group . notice was served on the company wednesday ( april 1 ) after a meeting of the executive council , hong kong’s equivalent of a cabinet of ministers . the law requires a one year notice period , which means that atv’s [ … ]
established in 1992 , the group possesses extensive and successful experience in telecom market liberalization , popularizing advanced technology and applications . the group currently engages in the development of hong kong ' s largest 24 - hour online shopping mall , hktvmall , providing an
one - stop shop
platform to people in hong kong , including entertainment , online shopping , delivery service and impressive customer experience .

however , whether rthk would be able to produce enough content to do this remains questionable .
cheung siu - wai , senior lecturer at school of communication at hong kong baptist university , who has worked with both atv and rthk , said on thursday that although rthk could use programs from its digital channels , rthk ' s current capacity is unable to handle 24 - hour broadcasting . the government would need to make a big commitment to the station .
outsourcing would be one option as this had been a common practice for rthk since 2000 , cheung said .
unless there are drastic changes in rthk , it will be difficult for it to fulfill the task ,
cheung said .
this also involves the question of justification when proposals are passed to the legislative council ( legco ) . lawmakers may think it unnecessary to commit public resources to a project that will only run for four years , cheung predicted .
peter kwan wai , former senior staff member at atv and current senior teaching fellow in the department of media and communication at city university of hong kong , agreed on the possibility of more government input . he said rthk could copy atv ' s practice by repeating programs from its archive . this could lower the required daily production from six to eight hours .
meanwhile , he said there was nothing stopping rthk from taking over atv ' s analog frequency .
legislator charles peter mok expressed his disappointment on previous
squeezes
on rthk ' s development because the city now needs to rely on the station .
mok said a lack of resources was the most pressing issue . he urged legco to arrange a special meeting to address this soon .
secretary for commerce and economic development gregory so kam - leung admitted this was a
big challenge
for rthk . but so said he believes the public broadcaster is equal to the task .
the government will set up an interdepartmental task force to resolve various issues for the broadcasting arrangements with rthk .

notice was served on the company wednesday ( april 1 ) after a meeting of the executive council , hong kong ’s equivalent of a cabinet of ministers .
the law requires a one year notice period , which means that atv ’s license will first be extended for three months beyond its scheduled expiry , and then cancelled . the group’s english and cantonese channels will all cease on march 31 next year . it is the first time in hong kong broadcast history that an incumbent has been stripped of its license .
the decision , made on the advice of the communications authority , capped a dramatic week of announcements and more than five years of turmoil at the group .
on tuesday ( march 31 ) atv itself used its main evening news bulletin to announce that it had been rescued . it said that its main shareholders had agreed to sell their 52 % stake to the telecoms tycoon ricky wong , who in 2008 headed the company for 12 days and whose own broadcast ambitions have been thwarted by the communications authority .
but on wednesday morning , wong’s hktv company denied that it had reached a deal with the atv shareholders , and said that talks on march 26 had merely been an exchange of ideas .
that prompted new criticism of atv from legislators . they interpreted atv’s tuesday broadcast announcement as a desperate attempt to influence the exco meeting , by suggesting that a rescue was at hand and that atv’s financial situation would be soon be stabilized . they also said that the broadcast was inaccurate and may have led to the financial markets being deliberately misled .
“having considered the recommendations of the ca , relevant representations and all relevant latest developments , the chief executive in council decided not to renew atv’s free tv licence under section 11 ( 5 ) of the broadcasting ordinance , ” said secretary for commerce and economic development , gregory so .
“the ca considers that the overall performance of atv is unsatisfactory . its performance in various aspects has clearly deteriorated after the mid - term review of its licence . the ca has serious doubts as to whether atv would be capable of making the necessary improvements , and whether it has the financial capability to deliver its investment plans , and indeed to continue its business as a going concern , ” so said .
the government also gave formal approval wednesday to the license application of a new free - to - air broadcaster hktve , following the grant of approval - in - principle back in october 2013 .
hktve’s licence will be valid for 12 years until march 31 , 2027 , subject to a mid - term review in 2021 .
“we hope that hktve’s entry into the free tv market will benefit our audience - at - large with more quality programming choices , ” so said .

crane’s original intent was to approve the best flash hider that will later be used as a mounting platform for smith enterprise mk48 wind talker sound suppressor . smith enterprise previously bid on a sound suppressor solicitation for the mk48 in 2010 and was beat by fn , who has no sound suppressor experience . fn has yet to produce its first sound suppressor for the navy and is still attempting to make an integral barrel sound suppressor – something that the military has tried to make for decades without success . smith enterprise is hopeful that the navy seals see the value in smith’s products and will follow up with a sound suppressor purchase order . the smith enterprise sound suppressor for the mk48 is complete with testing and is ready for delivery .
smith enterprise also makes a blank firing adapter for the mk48 machine gun , which is a unique advantage for the navy seals should they want to train with blanks .

well , one could look at the situation that way . another way to look at it would be friendly competition . based on what i know , i can honestly say that i am not aware of any collaborative effort between thrustline manufacturing ( ogden , ut ) and smith enterprise , inc . ( tempe , az ) on m14 parts or any other project . from what i do know , i would say it is the opposite . they are separate efforts . for example , thrustline manufacturing states on its web site that its m14 operating rod is machined in utah . smith enterprise , inc . uses three shops to machine its operating rods , 1 ) richard smith ' s business in carson city , nv 2 ) ron smith ' s cousin ' s machine shop in california ( specializing in nascar racing car parts ) and 3 ) ron ' s uncle ' s shop ( currently manufacturing m16 bolts and bolt carriers ) which i don ' t believe is utah .

sei m14 barstock receiver smith enterprise inc . is proud to offer our superior smith m14 receiver , machined from a solid block of 8620 barstock . we have been manufacturing m14 receivers since 1984 and are the leader in the m14 billet manufacturing arena . machined to exacting usgi tolerances as per the original prints , smith receivers undergo a stringent heat - treating process that culminates in a proprietary cryogenic treatment process , allowing the receiver to have uniform molecular structure in the crystals of the material , resulting in superior strength and hardness . each receiver undergoes a meticulous hand - deburr / finish which results in an heirloom - quality receiver that is built not only for the rigors of combat , but also to be passed down through generations . the final stage of production is a mil - spec black parkerized finish .
before smith’s book , countries were hesitant to trade with other countries , unless it benefited them . however , smith argued that a free exchange should be created , as both sides trading become better off . this led to the increase in imports and exports and countries judging their value accordingly . smith also argued for a limited government . he wanted to see a hands - off government and legislation conducive an open and free market . smith did see the government responsible for some sectors , however , including education and defense .
this is a discussion on smith enterprise reciever ? within the the m14 forums , part of the m14 m1a forum category ; ted is right , there is information that we are not aware of . the following is from the 03 / 31 / 08 version of the third edition of m14 . . .
the ideas that became associated with smith became the foundation of the classical school of economics and gave him a place in history as the father of economics . concepts smith pioneered , such as the invisible hand and the division of labor serve are now quintessential economic theories . smith died on july 19 , 1790 , at age 67 but the ideas he promoted live on in the form of contemporary economic research and institutes like the adam smith institute . in 2007 , the bank of england placed his image on the £20 note .
smith added it was a
a pretty quick and easy conversation because it felt like the right thing for both of us .

the sbr ( smith battle rifle ) gas piston has been developed for the demands of 21st century warfare , and is superior to the issue versions .
other economists built on smith ' s work to solidify classical economic theory , which would become the dominant school of economic thought through the great depression .
the initial corporate clientele included crocs , procter & gamble , and sony . but , box was still going through growing pains from honing its vision from a consumer company to an explicitly enterprise software company .
after arriving at duke university in durham , north carolina , smith had realized that business , and entrepreneurship specifically , was the route he wanted to pursue .

with quicklink mobile , smith micro evolved its offering for 2g and 3g data networks and launched its first large - scale mobile network deployment with verizon wireless in 2001 .
s . j . smith provides welding supplies and other industrial products and services to business customers in the central midwest . the company is based in davenport , iowa .
smith and levie met as classmates at islander middle school in mercer island , washington , a suburb southeast of seattle , and then went to mercer island high school together .
even back then he started getting me interested in entrepreneurship ,
smith recalled .
he was much more interested in technology [ than business ] back then .
while clarifying that boxworks is a
customer and developer event ,
smith hinted that box might be adding a specific developer event to the mix as soon as this year .
the ability to tag images with metadata allows the s . j . smith staff to search through tens of thousands of images easily to find specific documents . notes jill hutcherson , office manager for s . j . smith : “the variety of ways we can search for a document , and the speed of the searches , is a huge benefit . ”
crazy horse® rifles are available to the civilian sector on a very limited first - come - first - served basis . i occasionally have one from my personal collection available . due to military obligations , cmith enterprise , inc . has ceases taking any civilian guns in formmodification . if you want to purchase a vortex® suppressor with the direct connect® tm for your crazy horse® rifle , they are available separately . the cost is $ 1000 plus taxes and transfer fees . click here for more information about the suppressor . click here for a video of the suppressor in action .
in october 2013 , levie told me that the ipo climate is a
very good kind of market right now for enterprise software companies ,
pointing to recent successful debuts by the likes of workday , splunk , and palo alto networks .
less than 24 hours before smith was going to board a plane back to seattle for winter break , a phone call with levie turned out to be decisive for both of them .
moreover , unless otherwise noted , the crazy horse® rifles all use the lrb forged receiver . these receivers are generally accepted as being the best commercial receiver available today . the only better receiver available is the smith enterprise receiver and those are extremely difficult to find . when you compare all the features , you will quickly see that the crazy hors® rifle is not only the best m14 rifle available today , but represents great value .
some may be surprised to learn that in this book , smith , notoriously known as the “father of capitalism , ” discusses charity and human ethics extensively in this first book . while much of the philosophy behind smith ' s work is based on self - interest and maximizing return ,
the theory of moral sentiments ,
was a treatise about how human communication relies on sympathy . the book extensively explored ideas such as morality and human sympathy . in the book , smith argued that people are self - interested but naturally like to help others .
looking at how long box ' s strength will endure in the long run , gillett suggested a few different roadmaps , including the possibility of being acquired by a larger enterprise software provider ( perhaps even a player at the level of an sap or a salesforce . com ) after an ipo . he also hinted that box ' s current strategy of focusing on the enterprise , which is arguably its biggest differentiator from the likes of dropbox and other growing cloud storage services , might not be enough .
once again , smith was more measured in his evaluation , noting that an ipo should serve as
another milestone in what is going to be a very long game for us .
the contract ( h92240 - 13 - p - 0250 ) awarded was the first contract award after many years of rigorous testing of the mk48 vortex flash hider by crane naval surface warfare center . crane was so impressed with the mk48 , it awarded smith enterprise a national stock number ( 1005 - 01 - 600 - 8577 ) and also safety certified the device . crane naval surface warfare center is the contracting division for the navy seals .
to scan the documents , s . j . smith uses a fujitsu fi - 6670 , a high - speed , duplex - capable document scanner that lets the company scan about 90 pages per minute , nearly triple the volume of the old system . during the scanning process , knowledgelake capture lets s . j . smith establish templates for the different types of documents being scanned .
in short , smith argues that the division of labor and specialization produces prosperity . “it is the great multiplication of the productions of all the different arts , in consequence of the division of labor , which occasions , in a well - governed society , that universal opulence which extends itself to the lowest ranks of the people , ” states smith in “the wealth of nations .
but much like levie and smith , hamid had his work cut out for him in proving to his bosses that box was worth the investment . for starters , hamid noted that enterprise software like this wasn ' t on the radar yet . additionally , hamid jokingly lamented that box actually had
revenue
back in 2007 , which he explained wasn ' t a
great
word during the peak of the web 2 . 0 era .
i probably spent more time talking with aaron than i did with my family at that stage , so we stayed in pretty close contact when we went off to school ,
smith noted .
“the knowledgelake search capabilities and metadata associated with the documents allows s . j . smith to access information quicker , which in turn helps our employees provide customers with better service , ” says shradel .
smith said it is here where box has been able to solve a burning pain point that cios across all industries are trying desperately to remedy . slowly but surely , there has been a noticeable shift toward more willingness , even
excitement and energy ,
as smith puts it , among businesses in moving to the cloud . smith maintained a somewhat conservative analysis though , saying we ' re still in the early stages of seeing adoption , and that there are still
always
going to be many slower - moving it departments and cios , especially when it comes to regulated industries like healthcare and financial services .
smith micro now offers a comprehensive portfolio of wireless solutions that enable wireless carriers to build stronger relationships with subscribers , while also maximizing average revenue per user ( arpu ) through value - added services like digital lifestyle solutions and premium messaging services . in addition , smith micro ' s well - known graphics solutions provide powerful tools to digital artists of all skill sets and experience levels , from amateur hobbyists to professional animators and illustrators .
box as a platform and company was born in 2005 , but even that was well after the establishment of the friendship between levie and his co - founder and box ' s chief financial officer , dylan smith .
i have an idea of which country this is based on the discussion i had with ron smith . the u . s . department of state is still reviewing the paperwork so i ' ll just keep quiet .
if you are concerned about the price , it may be useful to compare these rifles with the white feather rifle made by springfield armory , inc . these rifles generally sell for approximately $ 5000 . the crazy horse® rifle does not have any commercial cast components and is equipped with the leupold scope which the military specifies . these scopes cost at least $ 1000 , with some models being more .
smith is most famous for his 1776 - piece ,
the wealth of nations ,
but his first major treatise ,
the theory of moral sentiments ,
released in 1759 created many ideas still practiced today .
on a blustery afternoon in november 2013 , i had the chance to catch up with smith and levie and witness their camaraderie in person . instead of the icy stereotype in which co - founders of the most successful startups are usually not on speaking terms outside the office ( or maybe even in the office ) , smith and levie ' s friendship looks stronger than ever , with levie comparing the decision to quit school to jumping off a cliff .
ultimately through the ideas presented in
the wealth of nations ,
smith changed the import / export business , created the concept of what is now known as gross domestic product ( gdp ) and argued for free exchange .
more than 20 years ago , the company produced semi - automatic m14 - type receivers—machined by ron smith and his father , richard , from forged billet and investment cast 8620 steel—that became highly regarded among highpower service rifle competitors .

moreover , the m14 uscg / navy muzzle brake is not compatible with the sei wind talker m14dc sound suppressor , which must be used with the vortex dc flash eliminator . it installs with a castle nut . the suggested retail price for the smith enterprise good iron 7 . 62mm m14 uscg / navy muzzle brake is $ 145 . also listed under the good iron family is the good iron . 338 lapua muzzle brake , good iron m1 garand brake , and much more . see below for specifications of the 7 . 62mm m14 muzzle brake .
in the case of someone who grew up in a big enterprise software company , box chief operating officer dan levin touted that younger hires help the senior management better understand what ' s going on with the latest cutting edge stuff and how to think about the ways the next generations of workers are going to behave .
crazy horse® rifles are equipped exactly as if built for the us government . in the event you live in occupied territory where liberty does not exist ( california , illinois , mass , new jersey , etc ) and which do not permit standard capacity magazines , flash hiders , bayonet lugs , or silencers , you may still be able to purchase a crazy horse® rifle . this rifle does have a vortex® flash hider , however , that flash hider can be replaced by a smith enterprise muzzle break which is extremely effective and legal in many of the occupied territories
despite going to college on opposite sides of the country , levie and smith kept in touch frequently , primarily via email and instant messenger . the two would meet up in person from time - to - time back in seattle during school breaks .
our . 260 remington smith - hart m14 barrel is ready to go . we shot it both suppressed and unsuppressed . these barrels will be made when the order is placed . they are 416 stainless , each barrel is hand lapped . . .
the only difference between the civilian and military rifles is the select fire capability . military rifles are made using usgi military receivers which have the select fire lug on the receiver . while this is blocked to permit semi - automatic fire only , it is still classified as a machinegun . the civilian rifles are made using a receiver made by lrb . a very limited number of rifles are made using a smith enterprise receiver . it is worth noting that none of these rifles have rear lugs because when built on the crazy horse® fiberglass stock , a rear lug is not necessary .
the consumerization of it is driven by consumer devices , but you still have to have enterprise applications on those devices ,
levie explained .
what we found was the best mix was the ipad , the new form factor that could let people do entirely new things in the enterprise that weren ' t possible before . a doctor can pull up a medical image , a construction worker can pull up the plans for the construction site , and we realized they would need new types of software to make that happen . that consumer grade software wasn ' t going to be enough to allow them to really pull out the kinds of workflows and business scenarios that they needed .
with that money , box was finally able to get real marketing momentum going by october 2005 as well as more engineers . but even at the beginning of december 2005 , smith still seemed like he was on the fence about where all this was going .
box has grown rapidly since it was established , from offering a simple cloud storage service to hosting an all - inclusive enterprise platform for workplace collaboration to content management and editing . the los altos , california - based business has inked deals to integrate its portfolio with some of the biggest brands in tech including google , salesforce . com , and netsuite .
“we found that knowledgelake’s integration with microsoft sharepoint was the easiest solution we could deploy for our enterprise content management , ” says shradel . “sharepoint addressed our need to provide a searchable library interface that displays scanned images in a non - proprietary , web - compatible format . compared to the competition , knowledgelake shined in all the areas we looked at . ”
the knowledgelake solution is significantly easier and faster to use than the prior document imaging solution at s . j . smith . it adds speed and efficiency to tasks that used to be time - consuming , enabling employees to redirect their time and efforts to other duties .
when ron smith , president of smith enterprise was asked about this he stated , “this is a no brainer . for what 1sg onstine did for his men and this country , the least we could do was get their suppressors upgraded for them . these sound suppressors they have are quite the find . imagine how many battles they went through over the last 9 years ? there must have easily been tens of thousands of rounds fired through them and many of fine fighting men must have taken these suppressors on and off their rifles over the years . they were in as good a shape as when we first sent them off , just needed to have the carbon cleaned off . we wanted 1sg and his men to have our new light weight coupler , our new baffles , our new end cap , and our new vortex . we want these heroes to have the best we have to offer them . ”
it gave us pause for concern because google can just eat your lunch ,
hamid said plainly . smith also recalled when google was working on a storage service around the same time box held its series a round , remembering the project codename as
platypus .
adam smith was an 18th - century philosopher renowned as the father of modern economics , and a major proponent of laissez - faire economic policies . in his first book ,
the theory of moral sentiments ,
smith proposed the idea of the invisible hand—the tendency of free markets to regulate themselves by means of competition , supply and demand , and self - interest . smith is also known for his theory of compensating wage differentials , meaning that dangerous or undesirable jobs tend to pay higher wages to attract workers to these positions , but he is most famous for his 1776 book :
an inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations .
read on to learn about how this scottish philosopher argued against mercantilism to become the father of modern free trade and the creator of the concept now known as gdp .
the fund aims to achieve positive returns on a rolling 12 months basis , with low risk and low volatility expected , primarily through the use of equities and cfds . the fund invests primarily in the united kingdom . the fund’s proposition is that it is a ucits iiii uk long / short fund , that aims to achieve a target return of 10 - 12 % per annum irrespective of market conditions although this is not guaranteed . the fund is a ucits scheme ( fsa recognised ) launched on 15 january 2010 with the transfer of assets from the cayman - domiciled smith & williamson enterprise fund . the unregulated scheme was launched on 3 april 2006 .
smith’s 1776 work ,
an inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations ,
also shortened as
the wealth of nations ,
documented industrial development in europe . while critics note that smith didn ' t invent many of the ideas that he wrote about , he was the first person to compile and publish them in a format designed to explain them to the average reader of the day . as a result , he is responsible for popularizing many of the ideas that underpin the school of thought that became known as classical economics .
out of all the company ' s i have got parts from . i put smith at the top . i have a m14 in a sage stock from them and i have to say the fit and finish is top of the line . you get what you pay for . thanks
lack of interoperability has always been a major roadblock to enterprise communications and collaboration as the disparate platforms are proprietary and therefore cannot talk to each other . unified communications and collaboration ( ucc ) offerings have failed to give users full contextual collaboration , or even provide much native integration or interoperability with other platforms and systems . this has especially hampered external collaboration with business partners and customers .
with enterprises now flooded with application proliferation and fragmentation , it becomes difficult to manage and govern securely . the interoperability problem rears its head again with disparate collaboration applications . there is valuable interaction data in all of these application silos , but much of it is inaccessible . it cannot be reliably curated , leveraged by other apps , or fed back into enterprise workflows for subsequent reuse .
the crazy horse® concept for military applications was first explored in 2003 by smith enterprise in conjunction with ( picatinny arsenal and the army infantry school , ) the original concept was to develop a semi - automatic precision rifle which employed used the 7 . 62x51 cartridge . the rifle was to be capable of 1 moa or better . the 7 . 62 round is a proven caliber for precision rifle applications and is readily available . there exists plentiful supplies of the m118lr ammunition in inventories and this round is approved for military operations under the laws of armed conflict under the geneva convention . finally , a plentiful reserve of rifles suited for this use ( the m14 ) exists .
used by us armed forces worldwide , the us dept of homeland security and law enforcement agencies across the nation , the vortex flash hider features a patented 15 degree , right hand helical flute design that effectively eliminates muzzle flash . machined from ordnance grade 8620 steel and finished with a mil - spec phosphate , the vortex is a self - tightening flash suppressor that will not loosen or shift position under sustained fire . the new g6a3 vortex comes equipped with a grooved exterior for less contact surface and reduced carbon build up , making the removal sound suppressors easier . compatible with gemtech halo and smith enterprise / fisher quick attach / detach direct connect ( dc ) silencers . notes :
by the late ‘90s , dial - up internet access was being replaced by cable internet , dsl and wireless broadband technologies , due to the substantially higher speeds and reliability they afforded . this change led smith micro to re - apply its network connection expertise to new wireless and mobility applications .

the year after levie and smith packed up and shipped off to usc and duke , respectively , queisser enrolled at western washington university . ghods followed levie to usc to study engineering . queisser dropped out of school after a year and a half after levie convinced him to join in on launching box .
laissez - faire philosophies , such as minimizing the role of government intervention and taxation in the free markets , and the idea that an
invisible hand
guides supply and demand are among the key ideas smith ' s writing is responsible for promoting . these ideas reflect the concept that each person , by looking out for him or herself , inadvertently helps to create the best outcome for all .
it is not from the benevolence of the butcher , the brewer , or the baker , that we can expect our dinner , but from their regard to their own interest ,
smith wrote .
