Alpha2 Capricorni

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Alpha2 Capricorni}}

Alpha2 Capricorni (α2 Capricorni), or Algedi , is a triple star system in the southern constellation of Capricornus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +3.57. It is separated from the fainter α¹ Capricorni by 0.11° of the sky, a gap just resolvable with the naked eye, similar to Mizar and Alcor. Based on parallax shift as refined from orbits around the Sun of the Gaia spacecraft at Earth's Lagrange point 2, the star is 101 to 103 light years from the Solar System.

Properties
The primary, component A, is an evolved G-type star with a stellar classification of G8.5III-IV, indicating that the spectrum displays mixed traits of a giant and subgiant star. At the age of 1.3 billion years, is currently on the red giant branch and is generating energy through hydrogen fusion along a shell surrounding an inert helium core. The star has around double the mass of the Sun and has expanded to more than eight times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 40 times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,030 K.

The secondary components B and C form a binary system that orbit each other with a period of about 244 years. Both stars have masses about half that of the Sun. They orbit the primary with an estimated period of around 1,500 years. As of 2010, the pair lies at an angular separation of 6.6 arc seconds from the primary along a position angle of 196°.

Nomenclature
α² Capricorni (Latinised to Alpha² Capricorni) is the star's Bayer designation. It bore the traditional names Secunda Giedi or Algiedi Secunda and shared the name Algedi (from the Arabic الجدي al-jadii 'the goat') with α¹ Capricorni. In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) to catalogue and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN approved the name Algedi for α² Capricorni on 21 August 2016 and it is now so entered in the IAU Catalog of Star Names.

In Chinese,  (), meaning Ox (asterism), refers to an asterism consisting of α² Capricorni, Beta Capricorni, ξ² Capricorni, Pi Capricorni, Omicron Capricorni and Rho Capricorni. Consequently, α² Capricorni itself is known as  (, .)

Journal of Men, Masculinities and Spirituality

Journal of Men, Masculinities and Spirituality (JMMS) is a free, online, scholarly, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, open access journal about men's studies.   JMMS was established 2007, and is published twice a year with provision for other special editions. JMMS was founded by Joseph Gelfer who remains the executive editor.

Overview

JMMS seeks to be as inclusive as possible in its area of enquiry. Papers address the full spectrum of masculinities and sexualities, particularly those which are seldom heard. Similarly, JMMS addresses not only monotheistic religions and spiritualities but also Eastern, indigenous, new religious movements and other spiritualities which resist categorization. JMMS papers address historical and contemporary phenomena as well as speculative essays about future spiritualities.

The first issue of JMMS featured, published in January 2007, an editorial by Joseph Gelfer; research notes of Yvonne Maria Werner and Anna Prestjan; articles by Roland Boer, Frank A. Salamone, David Shneer, Juan M. Marin and Rini Bhattacharya Mehta; and book reviews by Joseph Gelfer, James Bryant, Wisam Mansour, Sophie Smith, Katharina von Kellenbach and Nathan Abrams.

Issues of JMMS are included in the Informit e-Library, an Australasian online scholarly research repository; as well as EBSCO, and  Gale Cengage.

Frank Sinatra School of the Arts

The Frank Sinatra School of the Arts (FSSA) is an arts high school in Astoria, Queens, and it is affiliated with the New York City Department of Education. The school, founded by Tony Bennett, is a major arts high school in New York City offering high school diplomas in six arts majors including fine art, dance, vocal and instrumental music, drama, and film. Each studio has its own dedicated teachers, classrooms, ensembles, and performances/exhibitions where students may showcase their work to the public. All students must audition for admission. Students in every Studio/Major are also allowed to audition for the Musical Theatre elective class, which in the past has put on performances such as The King and I, Anything Goes, The Secret Garden, Carousel, Footloose the musical, Little Shop of Horrors, Jonathan Larson's RENT, Aida, The Music Man, Ragtime, The Phantom of the Opera and Hairspray. Students can also apply for the Stage Craft class that teaches the students to work as a crew for theatre productions and technical theatre.

The school has an enrollment of approximately 853 students; the student to teacher ratio is 18:1. In comparison to New York City public high schools, this school holds one of the highest graduation rates in the district. In 2009, 96% of the senior class graduated with 97% enrolled for college. The class of 2009 additionally completed 17,000 hours of community service while at FSSA. The class of 2013 completed 20,000 hours of community service and its members, as a whole, were granted approximately $120,000 worth of scholarship money. The school had two students win the Posse Foundation scholarship in the class of 2013.

History

The Frank Sinatra School of the Arts, also known as FSSA, was founded in 2001 by singer and painter Tony Bennett along with his wife Susan Benedetto, and is named after the American musician and actor Frank Sinatra. The school was funded through a non-profit organization called Exploring the Arts (ETA). FSSA started out in the DeVry building over at LaGuardia Community College then moved to the C building. It is now located in its own state of the art building.

Salted duck egg

A salted duck egg is an East Asian preserved food product made by soaking duck eggs in brine, or packing each egg in damp, salted charcoal. In Asian supermarkets across the Western world, these eggs are sometimes sold covered in a thick layer of salted charcoal paste. The eggs may also be sold with the salted paste removed, wrapped in plastic, and vacuum packed. From the salt curing process, the salted duck eggs have a briny aroma, a gelatin-like egg white and a firm-textured, round yolk that is bright orange-red in color.

Salted duck eggs are normally boiled or steamed before being peeled and eaten as a condiment to congee or cooked with other foods as a flavoring. The texture is gelatin like egg white and firm and has  a perfect round yolk. The egg white has a sharp, salty taste. The orange red yolk is rich, fatty, and less salty. The yolk is prized and is used in Chinese mooncakes to symbolize the moon.

Salted eggs can also be made from chicken eggs, though the taste and texture will be somewhat different, and the egg yolk will be less rich.

Salted eggs sold in the Philippines undergo a similar curing process, with some variation in ingredients used. They are dyed red (hence called itlog na pula or ‘red eggs' in English) to distinguish them from fresh duck eggs.

Production

Pateros method

A popular method for processing salted eggs in the Philippines is the Pateros method. The salted egg is prepared "Pateros style" by mixing clay (from ant hills or termite mounds), table salt and water in the ratio of 1:1:2 until the mixture becomes smooth and forms a thick texture similar to cake batter. The fresh, uncooked eggs are individually dipped in the admixture, and packed in 150-egg batches in newspaper-lined  wooden boxes (often residual boxes of dried fish packing). The whole batch is then lightly wrapped in newspapers to slow down the dehydration process.

The eggs are then stored indoors at room temperature over the next 12 to 14 days to cure, the salt equilibrating in the batch by osmosis. Curing can last up to 18 days, but that results in very long-lasting red eggs that can have a 40-day shelf life, which is largely unnecessary, as the eggs are stocked and replenished biweekly.

After the two-week curing period, the eggs are hand-cleaned with water and a brush and prepared to be boiled in low heat for 30 minutes. Time is measured from the first moment the water boils and the eggs are immersed. A 50-egg batch is then wrapped in fish nets for ease of removal from the cookware, which must be large enough to accommodate the batch with a  covering of water.

Chicken eggs may be processed the same way, although up to 10% of the batch can break during the process.

Dikti

Dikti or Dicte () (also Lasithiotika Ori;  "Lasithian Mountains"; anciently, Aigaion oros () or ) is a mountain range on the east of the island of Crete in the regional unit of Lasithi. On the west it extends to the regional unit of Heraklion.
According to some versions of Greek mythology, Zeus was reared on this mountain in a cave called Dictaeon Antron (Psychro Cave). 
On the north of the main massif, the Lasithi Plateau is located. The topology of the mountain range is rich with plateaus (Lasithi, Katharo, Omalos Viannou, Limnakaro), valleys and secondary peaks. Some important peaks are Spathi 2148m (the highest point), Afentis Christos/Psari Madara 2141m, Lazaros 2085m, Madara 1783m, Skafidaras 1673m, Katharo Tsivi 1665m, Sarakino 1588m, Afentis 1571m, Selena 1559m, Varsami 1545m, Toumpa Moutsounas 1538m, Platia Korfi 1489m, Mahairas 1487m, Virgiomeno Oros 1414m. The main massif forms a horseshoe around the valley of Selakano. Large parts of the mountain area, including the Selakano valley, are forested with pines (Pinus brutia), Kermes oaks (Quercus coccifera), cypresses (Cupressus sempervirens), Holm Oaks (Quercus ilex) and Cretan Maples (Acer sempervirens). 
The fertile valleys and plateaus of Dikti/Dicte are of significant importance in the local economy.

The dominant feature of Dikti is the Lasithi Plateau, the largest plateau in Crete. It is a place with a long history. Diktaion Antron, is located here, a cave in which — according to one legend — Zeus was born.

Quebec Route 243

Route 243 is a north/south highway on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River. Its northern terminus is in Saint-Félix-de-Kingsey at the junction of Route 255 and its southern terminus is in the township of Potton where it crosses the Canada–US border at the North Troy–Highwater Border Crossing into Vermont and becomes Vermont Route 243. Route 243 is not a busy highway as it does not go through big towns.

The highway has three concurrencies:
 In Richmond, it shares a bridge across the Saint-François River with Route 116 and  Route 143
 At Racine a 2 km concurrence with  Route 222 occurs.
 In Waterloo it runs concurrently first with Route 112, then both it and Route 241 as all three share a bridge across the North Yamaska River

Orientia

Orientia is a genus of bacteria in family Rickettsiaceae. They are obligate intracellular, gram-negative bacteria found in insects and mammals. They are spread through the bites or feces of infected insects.

The genus comprises the species Orientia tsutsugamushi and Orientia chuto, which both cause scrub typhus in humans.

Candidatus Orientia chiloensis 
Orientia chiloensis is a possible new species of Orientia identified as such by its highly divergent type-specific antigen gene (tsa). 

In Chile scrub typhus is known to occur in the southern half of the country and in particular Chiloé Island and the fjords and channels of Patagonia. Between 2015 and 2020 there was a total of 40 known cases in Chile with much of the people affected reporting to work in gathering and cutting firewood. According to Chilean scientist Katia Abarca the disease in Chile corresponds to an endemic variety of the bacteria and has thus not arrived from the "Tsutsugamushi Triangle". The fact that the disease was first reported in 2006 in Chile is likely the result of under-diagnosis and underreporting. In January 2020, the disease was for the first time reported in Chile's southernmost region. Based on a study in northern Chiloé Island mites living in rodents are thought to be reservoirs and vectors of the disease.

Alpha1 Capricorni

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Alpha1 Capricorni}}

Alpha1 Capricorni, Latinized from α1 Capricorni, is a distant, binary star system dominated by a highly luminous star in the constellation of Capricornus, north of the ecliptic. It has the traditional star names Prima Giedi () and Algiedi Prima (). The system is separated from the brighter Alpha2 Capricorni by 0.11° of the sky, a gap resolvable with the naked eye, similar to Mizar and Alcor. Both are not to be confused with much fainter 3 Capricorni nor somewhat fainter Nu Capricorni which are 3 to 6 times the angular distance apart than separate the two Alpha stars, respectively.

The primary star is a yellow hued supergiant star with a stellar classification of G3 Ib. It has an apparent magnitude of +4.3; bright enough to make it visible to the naked eye. The star is located at a distance of approximately 870 light years from the solar system based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −25 km/s. The star is past first dredge-up and has already evolved through the Cepheid instability strip; it may be about to do so a second time. It has 5.3 times the mass and 36 times the radius of the Sun, and is radiating around 1,047 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,119 K.

The Hipparcos satellite in about the year 2000 found a previously undetected companion at an angular separation of  from the primary. This magnitude 8.60 star forms a binary pair with α1 Capricorni. Three other faint visual companion stars lie within one arc-minute, so are unresolveable in small telescopes. The brightest of these is 10th magnitude and on this basis it has often been considered as an optical binary. Separation is increasing rapidly due to great proper motion of the primary star.

In popular culture
The name Giedi Prime is used for a fictional planet in Frank Herbert's 1965 science fiction novel Dune. This Giedi Prime is a planet of the star 36 Ophiuchi B, and is the home world of the villainous House Harkonnen.

Selective recruitment

Selective recruitment is an observed effect in traffic safety.  When safety belt laws are passed, belt wearing rates increase, but casualties decline by smaller percentages than estimated in a simple calculation.  This is because those converted from non-use to use are not “recruited” random members of the driving population.  Instead, users differ from non-users in many ways that influence safety.  Two effects are:

1.	When non-wearers crash, they have more severe crashes.
2.	Non-wearers are more likely to crash

Illustrative example of effect
Say initial belt use was zero (it never is, but this assumption makes it easy to understand), and after a belt law is passed use rate increases to 50%.  As belts reduce driver fatality risk in crashes by 42%, a naive calculation would lead one to expect a 21% reduction in fatalities.  In fact, a lesser reduction is observed.  A somewhat complicated equation (p. 293 of Traffic Safety (book) estimates expected fatality reductions when use rates increase from any initial percent to any new percent.  For the case of an increase in belt use from zero to 50%, the calculated reduction in deaths is 16%, well below the 21% estimated from the naive calculation.

Diminishes effectiveness of belt wearing laws
So even when belt wearing rates reach 90%, the 10% who do not wear have substantially more crashes, and more severe crashes, than the overall population.  The 10% of non wearers thus make a far larger contribution to the overall casualty toll than might appear likely if selective recruitment did not occur.

Hardly unexpected
Belt wearers have been shown in more than a dozen good studies to behave differently from non-wearers.  The phenomenon is in many ways obvious and to be expected.  When a belt-wearing law is in effect, those not wearing belts are violating traffic law.  Someone who does not obey one traffic law is more likely to not obey another – hence those who do not use belts are more likely to speed, drive drunk, and so on.

Although selective recruitment provides a perfectly reasonable and quantitative explanation for why casualty reductions from belt laws fall short of those computed simply from increased belt use, other explanations that are convincingly refuted by mountains of research persist.

The risk compensation explanation claims that the same driver substantially increases risk taking as a consequence of being compelled to wear a belt.  Any such interpretation  is compelling rejected by simple analyses of innumerable data sets (fatalities, crash-involvement rates, insurance claims).  Any behavior change can change the risk of a fatal crash by no more than 5% percent in either direction—dramatically less than the 42% reduction in fatality risk provided by the belt in a crash.  Claims that substantially lower than expected safety benefits from belts are due to drivers changing their behavior as a result of being compelled to wear belts are well outside the solid body of accepted traffic safety knowledge.

Picton Reading Room and Hornby Library

The Picton Reading Room and Hornby Library are two grade II* listed buildings on William Brown Street, Liverpool, England, which now form part of the Liverpool Central Library.

The chairman of the William Brown Library and Museum, Sir James Picton, laid the foundation stone of the Picton Reading Room in 1875. It was designed by Cornelius Sherlock, and modelled after the British Museum Reading Room, and was the first electrically lit library in the UK. It was completed in 1879 formally opened by the Mayor of Liverpool, Sir Thomas Bland Royden. The front is semicircular with Corinthian columns, and the shape was chosen by the architect to cover the change in the axis of the row of buildings at this point. The Hornby Reading Room (named after Hugh Frederick Hornby) by Thomas Shelmerdine was added in 1906. It stands behind the older building and the interior is decorated in the Edwardian Imperial style.

Trionfo

Trionfo () is an Italian word meaning "triumph", also "triumphal procession", and a triumphal car or float in such a procession. The classical triumphal procession for victorious generals and Emperors known as the Roman Triumph was revived for "Entries" by rulers and similar occasions from the Early Renaissance in 14th and 15th-century Italy, and was a major type of festival, celebrated with great extravagance.  The cars are shown as open-roofed, many clearly utilitarian four-wheeled carts dressed-up for the occasion.  Others were two-wheeled chariots.  In art, they might be pulled by all sorts of exotic animals.

Another specialized sense of the word was an elaborate sugar sculpture; these decorated tables on important occasions in the Renaissance and Baroque periods, especially in Italy and France. Eventually they were replaced by the silver surtout de table or porcelain centrepieces.

The word may derive from a call of triumph during antique triumphal processions: "Io triumpe".

Art and literature
Triumphs were described in literature, the cars often carrying classical gods or personified virtues, with Petrach's Triomphi (1374) being extremely influential, for example on Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (1499).  This had woodcut illustrations, and such scenes were very popular in art, perhaps culminating in the enormous woodcut Large Triumphal Carriage by Albrecht Dürer (1522), a triumphal car carrying the Emperor Maximilian that is the climax of the Triumphs of Maximilian (several artists).  The Triumphs of Caesar by Andrea Mantegna (by 1492) were also very influential.

Other
The Italian sculptor Giuseppe Cassioli named his Olympic medal design Trionfo. First used in 1928, the design was used for Summer Olympic Games until it was replaced at the 2004 Olympic Games.

Legal impossibility

Legal impossibility is a traditional common law defense to a charge of an attempted crime. Legal impossibility arises when the act, if completed, would not be a crime. A person believes she is committing a crime, but the act is, in fact, lawful. For example, a person may believe she is receiving stolen goods, but the goods are in fact not stolen.

A different form of legal impossibility (known as "hybrid legal impossibility") comes into play when an actor's goal is illegal, but commission of the crime is impossible due to a factual mistake regarding the legal status of one of the attendant circumstances of one of the elements of the crime. For example, a man attempting to bribe someone whom he mistakenly believes is a juror is not liable for attempted bribery of a juror. On the other hand, some jurisdictions may find the actor guilty of attempt. The United States Model Penal Code did away with the legal impossibility defense. Under the MPC, a defendant is guilty of an attempt to commit a crime if they purposely engage in conduct which would constitute the object crime if the attendant circumstances were as they believed them to be.

Powderhorn Lake

Powderhorn Lake, within Illinois but close to the state line, is a  lake that is part of the sand wetlands of the Indiana Dunes, most of which are located in the nearby state of Indiana.  It is the centerpiece of the  Powderhorn Lake Forest Preserve, part of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County in Cook County, Illinois.

Powderhorn Lake drains into the Grand Calumet River, which is historically part of the Lake Michigan watershed.  Man-made engineering now moves the Grand Calumet River’s water into the Cal-Sag canal and valley system, which drains into the Des Plaines River and ultimately into the Illinois River.

Nature
In 2007,  of the Powderhorn Lake forest preserve was designated as the Powderhorn Prairie and Marsh Nature Preserve, the only state of Illinois-designated nature preserve within the city limits of Chicago.  The nature preserve protects an overall dune and swale landscape that contains parallel sandy ridges alternating with low-lying woodlands.  In the Indiana Dunes ecosystem as a whole, these landscapes foster tallgrass prairies, sedge meadows, savannas, and woodlands.

Recreation
Powderhorn Lake is also managed by the Cook County Forest Preserves for small boating and fishing.  Human-powered boating and fishing are encouraged in the southern half of the lake, but are not permitted in the wildlife-refuge northern half.  The boat launch is located on the southern border of the lake, off Brainard Avenue in the suburb of Burnham, Illinois.

Omega Capricorni

Omega Capricorni, which is Latinized from ω Capricorni, is a star in the southern constellation Capricornus, near the southern constellation border with Microscopium. It is an orange hued star that is faintly visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of +4.11. Based upon an annual parallax shift of  as seen from the Earth, it is located approximately 1,000 light years from the Sun. It is a candidate member of the Ursa Major Moving Group and has a relatively high peculiar velocity of , making it is a possible runaway star.

In Chinese,  (), meaning Celestial Farmland, refers to an asterism consisting of ω Capricorni, 3 Piscis Austrini, 24 Capricorni and ψ Capricorni. Consequently, the Chinese name for ω Capricorni itself is  (, .)

This is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K4 III, and is a suspected variable. With the supply of hydrogen at its core exhausted, the star has expanded to about 172 times the radius of the Sun. It is 48 million years old with 7 times the mass of the Sun. Omega Capricorni is radiating 6,300 times the luminosity of the Sun from its bloated photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,915 K. It is a barium star, showing an overabundance of the s-process elements. This suggests that Omega Capricorni has an orbiting white dwarf companion.

El Diente Peak

El Diente Peak is a high summit in the San Juan Mountains range of the Rocky Mountains of North America.  The  peak is located in the Lizard Head Wilderness of San Juan National Forest,  north by east (bearing 8°) of the Town of Rico in Dolores County, Colorado, United States.  "El Diente" is Spanish for "The Tooth", a reference to the shape of the peak.

Climbing
The topographic prominence of El Diente Peak is only , so by a strict  cutoff rule, it would not be counted as a separate peak from its higher neighbor Mount Wilson. However, the 3/4 mile (1.2 km) connecting ridge is a significant climbing challenge (Class 4/5), making El Diente more independent than its prominence would indicate.
Hence, it is often regarded as a full-fledged fourteener.

El Diente is one of the more dramatic peaks in Colorado in terms of local relief and steepness. As a result, it is one of the most challenging climbs among Colorado's fourteeners.  All routes involve at least class 3 scrambling on loose talus, and poor route-finding can expose the climber to more difficult and dangerous terrain.

Psi Capricorni

Psi Capricorni, Latinized from ψ Capricorni, is a single star in the southern zodiac constellation of Capricornus. It is a yellow-white hued star that is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.13. The distance to this star is approximately 47.9 light years based on parallax measurements, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +20 km/s. The closest approach to the Sun occurred some 467,000 years ago at a separation of .

This object is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F5 V/ It is 1.4 billion years old with 1.4 times the mass of the Sun. The measured rotational velocity of this star is approximately 41 km/s (the Sun has an equatorial rotation velocity of 2 km/s). Analysis of the line profile of the star's spectrum indicates that it is undergoing differential rotation, with the variation by latitude being similar to the Sun. The star has 1.5 times the Sun's radius and is radiating 3.8 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,572 K. It displays an infrared excess, suggesting the presence of an orbiting debris disk at a separation of  and a temperature of 60 K.

Chinese name
In Chinese,  (), meaning Celestial Farmland, refers to an asterism consisting of ψ Capricorni, ω Capricorni, 3 Piscis Austrini, and 24 Capricorni. Consequently, the Chinese name for ω Capricorni itself is  (, ).

In R. H. Allen's version, this star represented the battle-axe Yue.

College Slam

College Slam is a college basketball video game published by Acclaim. It was released for the Super NES, Genesis, Game Boy, Sega Saturn, PlayStation, and PC. It includes most major Division I colleges, but some, such as the University of Tennessee, the University of Notre Dame, and Mississippi State University (who had just made a run to the Final Four that year), are not included. The player can play tournaments, a season, or a single game. Many gaming critics accused it of being a thinly veiled repackaging of NBA Jam.

Gameplay
Each team starts out by picking any two out of five players to play with during the game. During timeouts, and at half-time, the player has a choice to make substitutions. When a player makes two baskets in a row, the announcer says "He's heating up", and if he makes three baskets in a row without the other team scoring, he says "He's on fire!", which makes it easier to score.

In the season mode, the player can pick from 44 teams, and then play a 20-game season against quality competition. In the tournament mode, 16 teams compete for a chance to win the national championship. The player also has the ability to edit teams and players. Like NBA Jam before it, the gameplay is goofy, but yet competitive as players can easily make full-courts shots off and on (but usually often) and can score 3 in a row to get a flaming ball (to have a chance to become player of the game). Occasionally the college ball players can get struck by lightning as they dunk.

Reception
The two sports reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the PlayStation version scores of 6.0 and 5.5 out of 10. Though they acknowledged that some players would find the college license appealing, they remarked that the game differs too little from NBA Jam to stir real interest, with one of them noting that "Some of the players look exactly the same as they did in Jam except for a color palette change." Tommy Glide and Greasy Gus of GamePro concurred that the game retains the fun of NBA Jam, but that the new alley-oops and player substitutions do not significantly enhance the game, leaving College Slam a pointless clone. Reviewing the Genesis version, a Next Generation critic argued that even the college licensing does nothing for the game, since it does not use real players and in some cases gets the teams' uniform colors wrong. He scored it 2 out of 5 stars.

In 1996, Computer Gaming World declared College Slam the 11th-worst computer game ever released.
