Once a user authenticates and a DApp obtains authentication, the application interacts with Gaia through the blockstack.js library. There are two simple methods for working with data in Gaia hub: the
putFile() and
getFile() methods. This section goes into greater detail about the methods, how they interact with a hub, and how to use them.
Write-to and Read-from URL Guarantees
Gaia is built on a driver model that supports many storage services. So, with
very few lines of code, you can interact with providers on Amazon S3, Dropbox,
and so forth. The simple
getFile() and
putFile() interfaces are kept simple
because Blockstack assumes and wants to encourage a community of
open-source-data-management libraries.
The performance and simplicity-oriented guarantee of the Gaia specification is
that when an application submits a write-to
https://myhub.service.org/store/foo/bar URL, the application is guaranteed to
be able to read from the
https://myreads.com/foo/bar URL. Note that, while the
prefix in the write-to url (for example,
myhub.service.org/store) and the read-from URL
https://myreads.com) are different, the
foo/bar suffixes are the same.
By default,
putFile() encrypts information while
getFile() decrypts it by default. Data stored in an encrypted format means only the user that stored it can view it. For applications that want other users to view data, the application should set the
encrypt option to
false. And, corresponding, the
decrypt option on
getFile() should also be
Consistent, identical suffixes allow an application to know exactly where a
written file can be read from, given the read prefix. The Gaia service defines a
hub_info endpoint to obtain that read prefix:
GET /hub_info/
The endpoint returns a JSON object with a
read_url_prefix, for example, if my service returns:
{ ...,
"read_url_prefix": "https://myservice.org/read/"
The data be read with this
getFile() and this address:
The application is guaranteed that the profile is written with
putFile() this request address:
When you use the
putFile() method it takes the user data and POSTs it to the user's Gaia storage hub. The data POSTs directly to the hub, the blockchain is not used and no data is stored there. The limit on file upload is currently 25mb.
Address-based access-control
Access control in a Gaia storage hub is performed on a per-address basis.
Writes to URLs
/store/<address>/<file> are allowed only if the writer can
demonstrate that they control that address. This is achieved via the
authentication token which is a message signed by the private key associated
with that address. The message itself is a challenge text, returned via the
/hub_info/ endpoint.
Reads can be done by everybody. The URLs to a user's app data are in a canonical location in their profile. For example, here's how you would get data from the
 Banter app, stored under the Blockstack ID
 1. Get the bucket URL
bash  $ BUCKET_URL="$(curl -sL https://core.blockstack.org/v1/users/gavin.id | jq -r '."gavin.id"["profile"]["apps"]["https://banter.pub"]')"  $ echo "$BUCKET_URL"  https://gaia.blockstack.org/hub/16E485MVpR3QpmjVkRgej7ya2Vnzu3jyTR/
 2. Get the data
bash  $ curl -sL "${BUCKET_URL%%/}/Message/3e866af471d0-4072-beba-06ad1e7ad4bd"  {"content":"Anyone here?","votes":[],"createdBy":"gavin.id",...}
This data is public and unencrypted. The same works for encrypted data. Only the holder of the private key used for encryption would be able to decrypt the data.

Gold Buckle Champions… to further the education of equine health and safety, while preserving our western heritage and history, by means of promoting equine events incorporating the youth and community.
Demanding excellence within ourselves while helping to ensure the longevity of equine events through school assemblies, educational clinics, and community projects. Encouraging everyone to find the champion within themselves.
Our program "Legends in the Making" rewards school age children who participate in community programs to learn life skills; public speaking, resume writing, balancing a checkbook, and other skills necessary to be productive individuals. They are also encouraged to make a difference in their community by solving problems, such as; coat and can food drives, Toys for Tots, and first responders help funds for people in desperate need. They are awarded points for all their achievements and activities, which they can use at the end of the year at an auction to buy scholarships, sports equipment for teams, trips to national conventions for groups, and other productive items.
We provide empowerment assemblies at schools and introduce the children to other youth ambassadors who have overcome odds to become successful and have achieved their goals against all odds. It is noted that children involved in equine and agricultural activities and lifestyles are family oriented, more apt to go on to higher education, and are seldom ever involved in drugs and crime. We are shining a light on these examples to encourage other children to follow in their footsteps.
Finding opportunities for children to experience first-hand what it is like to solve your own problems and make a difference in their own communities is our goal.

While most rushed to congratulate Mohamed Salah for the record-breaking finish to his first Premier League season with Liverpool, Stoke star Peter Crouch was there to point out that he had actually equalled the Egyptian's goal haul...for one day anyway.
Salah finished the season with his 32nd goal of the season, netting the opener in a 4-0 rout of Brighton on the final day of the Premier League campaign.
Not only did the Egyptian's goal secure him the sought-after Golden Boot, it also meant he broke the record for the most goals scored in a 38-game Premier League season.
After being presented with the award by Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish, Salah told Sky Sports: "It's always in mind to help the team to win games, now we are in the Champions League next year and I have won the award, so I am very proud. It's always in mind to succeed in England, to give 100 per cent and succeed here. I have had a great season."
"I am trying to improve every year so I am very happy. I am improving every year. It's special to break the record here."
Though while Salah was accepting awards, and breaking records, Crouch was in Wales scoring the winner for already relegated Stoke.
With another Premier League goal for the 6'7 striker, it was only a matter of time before the veteran was at it again on twitter, to the delight of his followers.
In reference to the Egyptian winger breaking the Premier League record for goals in a 38-game season, Crouch wrote: "Pleased to equal Salah's premier league record today. We both got one."
With Stoke set for the Championship, fans of the Premier League will miss Crouch in particular whose longevity (and online wit) has graced the top flight for years.
However, with the transfer window set to re-open in the summer, another Premier League club might yet call for his services on the pitch and on social media.

Facebook URLwww.facebook.com/biochar.maroc
Twitter URL@El_hemer
Problem: What problem is this initiative trying to address?As source of pollution for villagers in Agadir, 160 000t of biomass waste (tomatoes and papers) is burned every year with 15 288 t of CO2 emission. This problem come from that big farmers don't compost the waste due to twine plastic and bacteria in biomass. Secondly over than 500 small farmers with les 10 hectare of greenhouses don't have landfill. in addition. Cleaning one greenhouse hectare from the waste the farmers had to pay 400$ for one week of work
Solution Summary: What is the proposed solution? What do you see as its most promising aspects for creating shared value?we sell biomass waste recovery for small farmers who don't have landfill for 100$ for one hectare of greenhouse. Then we pick the biomass to transform it into biochar and compost.
Impact: What is the impact of the work to date? Specify both the social and the environmental impact of your workbig farmers don't compost the waste due to twine plastic and bacteria in biomass. Secondly over than 500 small farmers with les 10 hectare of greenhouses don't have landfill. in addition. Cleaning one greenhouse hectare from the waste the farmers had to pay 400$ for one week of work. so with no option the waste is just burned with 15 288 t of CO2 emission every year. so by using the chopper shredder we shredder the waste to reduce the volume than we transform it into compost and biochar with green kiln, so by that,we reduce the 15 000 t of co2 emission to 50%.
Financial sustainability plan: How is this initiative financially supported? How will you ensure its financial sustainability long-term?1 000 £
Unique value proposition: What makes your initiative innovative? How does your project differ from other organizations working in the same field?Reason 1 Our service is quick by using the automatic shredder machine in the greenhouse we can clean in on day 1 hectare of tomatoes or sweet peppers. Manually farmers do that in one week Reason 2 By shredding the waste we reduce the volume, so it's easier to store and transformed into biomass pellet and biochar
Founding story: Share a story about the "Aha!" moment that sparked the beginning of this initiative.since i was very young i see farmers burn the organic waste, so when i had my master degre in entrepenruship i couldn't find job so i chose to propose this idea of biochar from tomatoes and pepper biomass waste to the solar cluster in casablaca as an incubator.

Sundance London 2018 Preview - The Tale
Dir: Jennifer Fox
Starring Laura Dern, Elizabeth Debicki, Isabelle Nelisse, John Heard, Ellen Burstyn, Jason Ritter, Frances Conroy, Common
Jennifer Fox's autobiographical tale of surviving and coming to understand childhood sexual abuse, is (as it is in the movie) based around her discovery as an adult of a childhood essay which forced her to revaluate her first relationship with a forty year old man – when she was just thirteen. The movie opens with a disclaimer warning the viewer of what is to come, but this is a movie that is handled with the utmost sensitivity. Yet, as this tale, unfolds it becomes increasingly uncomfortable as the young Jenny Fox (a very impressive Nelisse) goes to Mrs G's stables for the summer, and we soon come to learn that it is more than the horses that are being groomed.
Fox plays around with both form and style, and especially memory, even false memory – when she begins recounting her tale she is 15, before realising she was only 13, forcing her to re-show us the early images of her film through even younger eyes. As it progresses, the character of Fox, a real-life documentarian, starts to interview her characters off-camera, as she slowly unravels the events of her early experience. And one of the great successes of her film is how non -sensationally these experiences do actually unfurl themselves.
This is something that is aided greatly by Laura Dern at her very strongest as Fox's avatar, a woman slowly recalling the repressed trauma of her earlier years. Equally impressive though is Debicki as a woman who shifts subtly from surrogate mother to predator, and Ritter, who oozes obsequiousness as the seducer, who has to play the film's most uncomfortable scenes with the young Jenny (although the production is eager to point out that a body double of a suitable age was used in these moments.)
Fox's Tale is certainly well told, definitely worth seeing.

What does God's word have to say about those who serve and worship created things (images, statues, relics, etc.) instead of the one true Creator God?
Our God is in the heavens;
he does all that he pleases.
Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
They have mouths, but do not speak;
eyes, but do not see.
They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
Those who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.
O Israel, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! - Psalm 115:3-11a
"...[W]e know that 'an idol has no real existence,' and that 'there is no God but one.' For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many 'gods' and many 'lords'—yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist." 1 Cor 4b-6
"Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves any gods of cast metal: I am the LORD your God." - Leviticus 19:4
"You shall not make idols for yourselves or erect an image or pillar, and you shall not set up a figured stone in your land to bow down to it, for I am the LORD your God." - Leviticus 26:1
"And you have seen their detestable things, their idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold, which were among them." - Deuteronomy 29:17
"They have made me jealous with what is no god; they have provoked me to anger with their idols." - Deuteronomy 32:21a
"For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens." - 1 Chronicles 16:26
"I hate those who pay regard to worthless idols, but I trust in the LORD." - Psalm 31:6
"What profit is an idol when its maker has shaped it, a metal image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation when he makes speechless idols!" - Habakkuk 2:18
"An idol! A craftsman casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold and casts for it silver chains." - Isaiah 40:19
"I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols." - Isaiah 42:8
"Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love." - Jonah 2:8
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." - 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death." - Revelation 21:8

Welfare fraud linked to drug epidemic
Welfare fraud is the other side of the drug problem, said Osten Berg of Moose Lake at the meeting of TRIAD and Fond du Lac Elder Concerns Group on Wednesday, November 2, at the Fond du Lac Tribal Center.
Berg, a retired Moose Lake police officer, said that he investigates welfare fraud in four counties: Aitkin, Carlton, Pine and Kanabec.
"Carlton County is collecting $169,000 in overpayments," said Berg. "The people got the payments when they weren't eligible. We go after them and get the payments back."
The payments were for SNAP (food stamps) benefits and cash assistance, Berg explained.
"I need to find out who is living in the house," he said. "Maybe someone is getting assistance who isn't living there."
Berg said he sees the other side of the problem as the use of illegal drugs.
"The children, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and, in some cases, the great-grandparents of the addicts are involved," he said. "They take the children in when their parents are on drugs. When it comes to kids, I'll go the extra mile."
Berg spoke of one case where grandparents were taking care of the children of addicts, while the mother was collecting over $500 a month in benefits.
"Addicts will sell SNAP benefits," he said. "They tell their parents, the grandparents, they will sell them $150 in SNAP benefits for $75. When you pay them, that continues to be a habit. Don't continue to help them (addicts) by buying their food support."
Berg said that is a violation, and he writes up the person selling the SNAP benefits. They are taken off of food and cash support for a length of time.
The addicts find other ways to get money from their parents, who are often senior citizens, to buy drugs.
"The seniors take in their kids' children," he said. "To support those children, they remortgage the house. Some sell things, like vehicles. Meanwhile, their kids are ripping them off. They steal items, such as a chainsaw, from their parents to sell to get money to buy drugs."
Berg asked people to report welfare fraud.
"If you know people that are selling EBT benefits, please report it," he said. "That helps me deal with it. I help with child protection and child support. In some cases, the babies are taken away. If you are helping take care of children, there is help available through human services."
Berg said people that have something to report should call Carlton County Human Services at (218) 879-4583 and ask for the supervisor.
"The whistle-blower law protects you if you report something," he added. "Please leave your name and phone number so I can talk to you. We often can't follow-up on a case because the person that reported it did not leave their name so we could get more information."
Berg spoke of one case where a young man with disabilities was working in a program for the disabled. He received Social Security benefits because of his father and received a paycheck from the place where he worked.
It was noticed he was wearing the same shirt and pants every day. In an investigation, it was found the people he lived with were taking his money.
"We got him out of the home," said Berg. "That resulted in him being able to purchase new clothing and he developed a feeling of greater self-worth.
"If you know something, say something. Help those people help themselves."
Another speaker was Chief Sam Ojibwe of the Fond du Lac Police.
He spoke about drug sales that take place at Black Bear Casino.
"We have proposed that we have an office at the casino," he told the group. "We also asked for access to the surveillance room, where officers can see the gaming floor. We hope it works out."
Ojibwe added they have received grant funding from two sources and will be adding two officers.
"We are swamped with financial and property crimes," he said. "They all stem from the use of drugs."
Dennis Genereau, Carlton County Coordinator, spoke about the jail study that is under way.
"The jail is old and there is no program space or treatment space," he said. "We could be providing those services for those who are there for a length of time. We could basically help them be successful when they leave."
Genereau said part of the study will look at what resources are available in the community, and if the resources are being utilized to the maximum.
He also spoke about the excellent facilities on the Fond du Lac Reservation.
"Fond du Lac is one of the best tribes," he said. "They take their resources and use them to the benefit of the community."
Moose Lake Police Chief Bryce Bogenholm spoke about an upcoming program that will be taught to the sixth grade class in the Moose Lake school, starting in January.
"We need to educate the children at a young age so they don't start using drugs," he said. "Moose Lake probably has the lowest crime rate in the region, but we work hard to keep it that way."

Or worse, maybe you laughed and made light of the issue. Actually there is a place for humor in parenting (an enormous place) however not for those who communicate that the problem is absolutely not an issue in any case. One week before social gathering day it's best to: Asked your children what they are carried out in regards to the coloring paginate. It's truly a good idea to grow up their information.

Antonie Leiris….fra Paris.
Hei kjære leser,
Jeg såg akkurat denne fantastiske teksten om en ung franskmann som mistet sin kjære i Paris.
La oss alle gjøre som Antonie Leiris….la oss velge ….kjærligheten….fred i hjerte….og vårt sinn...hver eneste dag…!
You won't have my hate.
On Friday night you stole the life of an exceptional person, the love of my life, the mother of my son but you will not have my hatred. I don't know who you are neither do I want to know, you have dead souls. If the God that you blindingly killed for made us in his image, each bullet in the body of my wife would be an injury in His heart.
So no, I won't give you the satisfaction of hating you. You want it, but to respond to hatred with anger would be to give in to the same ignorance that made you what you are.
You want me to be afraid, to see my fellow citizens with distrust, to sacrifice my liberty for security. Game over. Try again.
I saw her this morning. Finally, after a few days and nights of waiting. She was as beautiful as when she went out on Friday night, as beautiful as when I fell head-over-heels in love more than 12 years ago. Of course I am devastated by grief, I'll concede this small victory, but it will be short. I know that she'll join us each day and we'll find each other in the paradise of free souls where you will never have access.
We are two, my son and I, but we are stronger than all the armies of the world. I don't have anymore time to give you, I have to go back to Melvil who's waking up from his nap. He's barely 17 months old, he'll eat his snack as usual and then we'll play like every day and all his life this little boy will have the nerve to be being happy and free. Because no, you won't have his hatred either.

A newspaper article on a flower mela held in the city caught my eye, during my recent Bangalore visit.The news article chronicled the painting of a gorgeous mural by Bangalore artist Shilo Shiv Suleman in the flower seller market in an effort to reclaim public space and beautify it too. You can catch the article here
Intrigued, I set the alarm for 430 am as the market starts at 2:00 in the morning and winds up by 8:00 am. The flower farmers cut their crops late evening and then set out by 12.00 am for Bangalore from the nearby villages.
It was quite dark when I reached KR market, which is also a treasure trove of wholesale items. I was amazed to see the hustle and bustle at 5.00 am in this market where a veritable smorgasboard of blooms were setup aesthetically on every pavement, side street and junction the eye could see.
I was mesmerized by the mile long strands of flowers; some of individual blooms and some combined in stupendous colour combinations – all coiled into neat circular arrangements. There were marigold, daisies, small chrysanthemums, mogra, chandni, roses. lotus, Paan leaves and some flowers I couldn't name.
I just couldn't stop clicking the floral displays, much to the amusement of some of the sellers who grinned and posed at me too. The flower sellers were very used to photographers as it's quite popular with many enthusiasts and clubs.
There was a deity in the market that was decked beautifully – perhaps to appease for positive sales. I loved the hand painted armoires built-in to house the temple. I wish I had been able to converse with someone about its history.
Someone pointed me to another section of the market where loose flowers are sold by the kilo for worshipping, decorations and making garlands for hair. Oh and there were some intricately woven garlands for the bride and groom too.
The clock tower of the inner square of this market is where the stunning mural graced the wall, paying a gorgeous tribute to the flower market. The entire markets wafts in an exotic floral perfume which actually made me sneeze a lot 😉
Sadly I missed out on finding the cut flower section of this whole sale market as I had looked forward to buying some exotic blooms for the house. Maybe next time……..
"A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it."
– Dogen –
Doesnt the sight of flowers uplift your spirits?
What do you think of this market?
Fact File:
- KR market is the largest whole market of Bangalore and is located in Kalasipayla area.
- It's reputed to be one of the largest flower markets in Asia.
- The photographer in me was pleased though by no means sated, and I intend to return here with my DSLR next time around. (All these pics are taken on a Samsung J7)

River Of Forgetfulness #1&2 - "I Smell A Conspiracy"
OOC: This is the first post of our new mission River of Forgetfulness. So all posts following this one should be numbered accordingly. Due to the length of the mission name, you might want to shorten it to ROF in case it conflicts with the length of the post title. Carry on. ;)
[Promenade, Starbase Ronin]
It must have been a restless sleep, he twisted and turned on the bench. His clothes looked old, unwashed and torn and even some stains of blood were present on his shirt and trousers. Slowly he opened his eyes before screaming out and dropping to the ground, covering his eyes. "Ah!" he shouted rubbing his eyes hoping the pain of the bright light would go away sooner. He turned some heads on the promenade but they all let him be, some even steered clear of the man, especially the Romulans.
Russell exited the turbolift and entered the Promenade deck. He had a good night sleep after the latest Tarzan and Jane adventure. He never imagined how exhausting a day of jungle excitement could be, even if he wasn't really himself. Starting the new day with a stroll over the Promenade deck would help him focus on this new day. It was quite busy and he greeted a few familiar faces in the crowds.
Slowly the mysterious man crawled away from under the bench and looked around, eyes squinted so that the least possible light fell through, he had to get to a doctor, he felt his body hurt so much that he didn't know what it was exactly that hurt. "Doctor! I need a doctor!" he shouted, the language he shouted it in was automatically translated into Federation standard by the computer. He almost stood up but fell to the floor again, noticing his leg in an odd position he yelled out again "ARGH!!!"
Above the buzzing noise common on a busy Promenade deck Russell heard the cry for help a few dozen meters in front of him. He couldn't see what was going on, so he put up the pace to get closer to the emergency. "Doctor, coming through!" he said while trying to get past the immediately surrounding people.
Within the circle lay a Reman on the ground in a very uncomfortable manner. It was obvious that his leg was broken. But that was not his only injury. He seemed to have a lot of cuts and bruises all over his body and apparently was very sensitive to light in his eyes. Russell sat down next to the man. "The doctor's here. Don't move to avoid further injury." he said to the unknown Reman. "Who are you and what happened?" he asked.
The Reman man relaxed "I... I..." he tried to look the human male in his eyes. "...I don't know" this conclusion shocked even himself, he could remember nothing before he woke up here... panic almost overcame the man. "...what did you do with me! Why am I here!" He started to push the self proclaimed Doctor away from him.
"Calm down!" Russell said in an attempt to put the Reman at ease and backed down a little. "I didn't do anything to you... yet. I have no idea why you are here, but you'd better get to a sickbay with me to treat your injuries." he said trying to reason with him.
The Reman man shouted in agony as Russell tried to restrain him, the wounds on his body had been worse then he thought. He gave up, not because he trusted this man but because he couldn't fight him off and he needed mending. He lay back on the ground, exhausted by the pain across his entire body.
It seemed as if the Reman gave up. Russell took this chance to get him to a sickbay. He tapped his combadge. =/\= Doctor Floyd to Transporter chief. I need site to site transport for two to the main sickbay on my mark. =/\=
=/\= Transporter signal locked, sir. =/\= The transporter chief answered.
=/\= Acknowledged, initiate transport. =/\= Russell said and both disappeared in blue shimmers from the Promenade deck to reappear in the centre of the large sickbay aboard the station. "Please help me get this man on a biobed, carefully!" he said to the medical staff rushing over to them. <A Reman aboard the Starbase, this has to be something the captain would like to know.> Russell thought to himself and tapped his combadge again. =/\= Doctor Floyd to Captain LaBrie. =/ \=
Caelen just stepped out the turbolift in Main operations and had greeted all the present personnel, relieving Lieutenant Mayik of command. =/\= LaBrie here, what's wrong Doctor? =/\=
=/\= You might want to come down to the main sickbay, captain. We have an unknown visitor who's badly injured. =/\= Russell answered cryptically.
Caelen frowned a bit =/\= Do you care to elaborate on that Doctor? =/ \= while he asked that he motioned someone else to take over in Ops and stepped into the turbolift =/\= Sickbay =/\= he ordered the lift, not having closed the comchannel yet.
=/\= He's a Reman, sir. With apparent loss of memory. He didn't know how he got here and couldn't even tell me his name. =/\= Russell answered his captain. =/\= I thought you would like to know. =/\=
=/\= I'm almost at your doorstep Doctor... LaBrie out =/\= and with that he walked into sickbay, somehow the entire V ordeal had made him a fast walker. "Report" he simply stated, walking up to the bio bed.
"Well, that was fast." Russell smirked immediately coming to business. "I found him on the Promenade deck calling out for help. His leg is broken and he has several cuts and bruises all over his body as if he has had a severe beating. He passed out so I had him transported to sickbay." he explained. "That's when I called y..."
"Commander LaBrie!" a somewhat distantly familiar voice spoke out from behind him "So good to see you again, I didn't know you had been graced with a Starbase."
"Or cursed." added another voice, again distantly familiar.
Caelen turned around "It's actually Captain now..." He paused a bit as he saw who had 'graced' him with their presence "...Colonel Sock, Major Bokma" he said in somewhat reluctant greeting.
Russell also turned around when he heard the voices behind him. "Well, ain't that a surprise." he said with a slight sarcastic undertone. "Are you in need of medical assistance?" he asked, knowing full well that was not why they were here.
"We are in need of that man Doctor" the Colonel replied, walking closer to the bio bed "that man is the leader of a rebellion that cost the loves of over a hundred Romulan citizens... we have been looking for him for the past two weeks, fortunately you found him first... and fortunately the Federation and Romulan Star Empire has a treaty about these kinds of situations"
"Luckily there are also treaties about asylum and medical care..." LaBrie countered "...as long as this man is in need of Medical care he will not leave this room, let alone this base"
At this Bokma pulled his disruptor from his holster "Who said he had to leave this room?"
"Now, now, Major... Calm down... That would be a very unwise action..." Colonel Sock urged his right hand to stand down arms before he turned to the Doctor "...How long will this take?"
"For his full recovery, you mean?" Russell asked. "I can't say for sure yet. I've barely had time to complete the scans on his injuries. Broken leg, loss of blood, maybe internal bleedings judging from the large amount of bruising. He's in bad shape." Russell said summing up the facts he anticipated.
Caelen frowned at that remark and then turned to the Romulan Tal'Shiar agents "Yeah... we barely had time to scan him and already you walk in... other then me and Russell and maybe some bystanders on the promenade nobody knows about this man..." he looked at the two suspiciously "...and as far as I know there is no Romulan Warbird docked with this station"
"Ah now... that's an interesting story, Captain..." Sock replied smirking a bit.
"...and it's also a classified one" Bokma added to his immediate superior.
The Reman groaned, he needed medical attention and he needed it now.
Russell picked up a medical tricorder to scan the injuries of Reman Doe. "And we're not gonna find out anything more if you don't let me treat this patient. Would you please get out of my way so I can save a man's life?" Russell said politely shooing the gathering near the biobed.
Caelen turned to the Romulans and motioned them to leave the sickbay, "Do your thing Doctor" he stated before stepping out himself as well, there was no way he was going to let these two men out of his sight now... It was all too suspicious.
"So much for a quiet morning." Russell muttered.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
"I don't want orange!" whined Caleb after drawing a card. We were in the middle of an intense game of Candyland. Caleb was ahead of me but also very determined to win. So, when he drew the orange card, Caleb was mad. That orange card was not going to get him to the winning spot. Caleb wanted to skip ahead and win. He complained and tried to draw another card. I explained to him that you only get to draw one card and you need to do what it says even if you don't like it. After a little pouting, Caleb finally conceded and went to the orange spot.
We continued on with the game and God started speaking to my heart. He gently said "You're a lot like Caleb. You want to skip ahead sometimes and get past the hard times." At that moment, I was convicted. How often do I complain when a circumstance comes that I don't want? How often do I desire to draw another "card" so I can avoid the pain? Way too many times. I need to take my own advice that I gave to Caleb.
Even if I don't like the circumstances in my life, I still need to embrace where God has me. He works through everything for His glory. Instead of fighting a hard time, I need to lean into God and ask what He wants me to learn from the circumstance. Instead of wanting to skip past a hard time, I need to look for ways I can be more like Jesus in that time.
How about you? Do you find yourself wanting to get another card so you can skip ahead? Do you find yourself fighting God over your current circumstances? I encourage you to lean into God and open your heart to what He wants to teach you.
Heavenly Father, I really don't like the hard circumstances I am facing right now. Please help me not to complain or fight You on them. Please open my heart and teach me. Help me to receive the good You have for me in these circumstances. In Jesus name, Amen.
Let's imagine we are sitting down for a cup of coffee or tea. I would remind you that you are chosen, loved and cherished by the King of Kings.

Born in Baghdad to an ancient lineage called the Chaldeans (Neo-Babylonians who still speak Aramaic), Weam Namou is the Executive Director of the Chaldean Cultural Center, which houses the first and only Chaldean Museum in the world. She's an Eric Hoffer award-winning author of 13 books, an international award-winning filmmaker, journalist, poet, and an Ambassador for the Authors Guild of America [Detroit Chapter], the nation's oldest and largest writing organization. She hosts a half-hour weekly TV show, and she's the founder of The Path of Consciousness, a spiritual and writing community, and Unique Voices in Films, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Namou's book, The Great American Family: A Story of Political Disenchantment, won an Eric Hoffer Book Award and her feature documentary with the same title, which she wrote, produced, and directed, earned several international film awards including IndieFEST and ImpactDocs. The book has since been optioned by 5 Streams of Los Angeles, California, and the feature documentary is now represented by Jeff Porter Pictures of Beverly Hills, California. She's currently working on her first feature film, Pomegranate, which was selected quarter finalist by Francis Coppola's Zoetrope. The film is being produced by Dr. Stan Williams and Santa Monica's Buffalo 8 Productions.
Namou's essays, articles, and poetry have been published by national and international publications including World Literature Today, Acumen [England], and the Transnational [Germany]. A keynote speaker, Namou has given readings, lectures, and workshops at numerous cultural and educational institutions. In 2012, Erootha, a local arts organization, honored her with an Outstanding Contributions to the Arts Award.
After receiving a Bachelor's Degree in Communications from Wayne State University, Namou traveled the world as she studied fiction and memoir book writing through various correspondence courses, poetry in Prague through the University of New Orleans, and screenwriting at MPI (Motion Picture Institute of Michigan). She learned of ancient philosophies from Indian and Native American teachers, and most recently, from internationally bestselling author and mystic Lynn V. Andrews. A graduate of Andrews' four-year course of study and training in the sacred healing art, Namou is an ordained minister.

Born in Baghdad as a Chaldean, I come from a long lineage of Babylonian healers, wordsmiths, and book lovers. I was raised in America, I've traveled the world, wrote over a dozen books, and was taught the art of living by the most amazing healers in America.
My rich Babylonian heritage which dates back thousands of years, my educational background, my teachings with spiritual masters, and my travels around the world have helped me make connections with people from different walks of life. I gained valuable knowledge and a sense of culture from each place, adopting the good and leaving the not so good as I formulated the life I desired as a wife, mother of two, an author, filmmaker, and speaker.
The most important thing that I learned is that we help write the story of our lives through our thoughts, words, and actions.

So the axe finally has fallen. After a summer of multiple announcements of public expenditure cuts, the crescendo was reached this afternoon when Chancellor George Osborne delivered his statement on the comprehensive spending review to a packed House of Commons. Over the next four years, most government departments will be expected to reduce their budgets by an average of 19%. Health, which was ring-fenced, is only to receive a marginal increase in its budget. By the end of this Parliament, Britain's structural deficit—the deficit that the government still runs even if the economy is operating at full capacity—should be eliminated. Together the spending review will fundamentally change how the British economy will be structured, possibly for many years to come.
Keynesian economists and the Labour party worry that contractionary fiscal policy at a time when private sector recovery has not been secured would dampen aggregate demand and trigger a double-dip recession. They have a point. This is especially since the normal engine to private sector-led recovery, the financial sector, is still not operating at full capacity yet. If the public sector is going to cut now, who will fund private sector recovery?
While the argument is valid, it misses a key point. Running public deficits may be important to stimulate economic recovery, but deficits do not finance themselves; money has to be borrowed from elsewhere. Partly to rescue the banks from failure, public sector borrowing has reached stratospheric heights, standing at more than 11% of Britain's gross domestic product at the time of the Mr Osborne's emergency Budget in June.
The Labour government was right to take decisive action to stabilise the banking sector, but it also created a problem by borrowing so much extra. Loans mean interest, and as Britain's debt increased, so did its interest obligations. This year alone, £43 billion will be paid to financial institutions simply to service Britain's debt. That amount is more than what the government spends on the police, housing and the environment, industry, or defence. Servicing debt represents a deadweight loss to the British economy, as the money is not spent to stimulate the economy. The more we borrow, the higher the debt interest, and the greater the deadweight loss to society. Therefore it makes much sense to rein in spending in order to reduce our borrowing.
The Keynesian argument isn't completely dead yet, however. The government has pledged to protect many investment projects in infrastructure, research, sunrise industries, education and enterprise creation. Public sector job losses, projected to amount to half a million over the next four years, will be achieved mainly through natural wastage and unfilled vacancies. When money is tight, one should spend on what will be most likely to guarantee greater revenue in the future.
Almost fortunately, the cuts are being implemented by a coalition government whose dominant party is ideologically inclined to have a smaller state*. The spending cuts match the natural ideology of the Conservatives: shrinking the state and encouraging the private sector, local government and civil society to take more of the burden of running the country. That will make implementing the whole package of reforms a smoother and more logical process. Reform in schools and the benefits systems and updating Britain's defence capabilities to reflect the post-Cold War world should all eventually contribute to long-term reductions in public spending and more effective governance.
It won't be a surprise to readers when I say that I feel that the broad direction of the government's plan is right: debt over-accumulation is generally bad, and I am all for a smaller state in exchange for a larger private sector-led economy and volunteer-led society. In any case, I haven't got much choice; credible or not, the coalition's plans are the only ones on the table at the moment. For all its predictable protestations, the Labour party has yet to come up with any kind of updated proposal to sort out the economy and the public finances (the 19% spending cuts announced today are on par with Labour's initial proposals of 20% anyway). Perhaps Alan Johnson is waiting for his copy of "Economics for Dummies" to arrive from Amazon. Britain now badly needs the opposition to get its act together. Let's hope it gets it sooner rather than later.
* I don't know why British politicians, including the Prime Minister, use "ideology" as if it's a dirty word; it's just a synonym for a set of principles, and nobody complains about government by principle. In fact, the years of state expansion under Labour have, I suspect, been in part driven by the socialist instinct of "Father knows best". Under Labour, government grew by piecemeal, building up huge complexities and inefficiencies. It makes sense now to wield the shears to trim away the overgrown branches. After all, if a crisis doesn't force us to take drastic action, what will?

NICU staff do tests to find out about your baby's conditions so they know what treatment your baby needs. For example, providers may do a blood test to check your baby for anemia. Or they may take an X-ray to check for a lung infection.
Your baby's provider tells you what tests your baby needs and lets you know the results. Before providers can do certain tests, they need your consent. This means they'll ask you to read and sign a consent form. Sign the form only when you understand the test and why your baby needs it. Be sure to ask the NICU staff any questions before signing the form. This section explains a lot of common tests babies get in the NICU. If your baby needs a test that's not described here, ask the NICU staff about it.
blood tests — Tests a baby's blood for certain health conditions. Blood tests are the most common tests done in the NICU. They give providers important information about how a baby is doing. They also help providers find possible problems before they become serious. Here are some conditions that blood tests can find:
Blood tests can be done through a heel ***, an umbilical catheter (a thin tube that goes into a baby's umbilical cord and into the belly button), a central line (a small, plastic tube that is placed in a large blood vessel), or from a needle in a blood vessel.
cardiac catheterization (KAR-dee-ak kathuh-tur-i-ZA-shuhn) — A medical procedure used to find and treat some heart conditions. A long, thin tube called a catheter goes into a blood vessel in the baby's arm, upper thigh or neck all the way through to her heart. Once the catheter is in place, a provider can test and treat the baby's heart.
computed tomography (kuhm-PYOO-ted toh-MOG-ruh-fee) — Also called CAT or CT scan. A test that takes pictures of the inside of the body. It is like an X-ray, but gives a clearer, 3D view. This test is painless and safe for the baby. The baby goes to the radiology department for the scan. She may need medicine to keep her still during the test.
echocardiogram (ek-oh-KAR-dee-oh-gram) — A special kind of ultrasound that takes pictures of the heart. The ultrasound uses sound waves to take the pictures. Providers use it to help find heart defects (a problem with the heart that is present at birth) and other heart problems.
electrocardiogram (e-lek-tro-KAR-deo-gram) — Also called an EKG or ECG. A simple, painless test that records the heart's electrical activity. An EKG can show how fast a baby's heart is beating and if the rhythm of the heartbeat is irregular.
hearing test — A test called a brainstem auditory evoked response test (also called BAER) that checks a baby's hearing. A tiny earphone is placed in the baby's ear so he can hear certain sounds. Small sensors are taped to his head. These sensors send information to a machine that measures the baby's response to the sounds A hearing test is done on all babies as part of newborn screening.
magnetic resonance imaging (mag-NETik REZ-uh-nuhns IM-ij-eeng) — Also called MRI. Strong magnets and radio waves take pictures of the inside of the body. An MRI gives a more detailed view than a CT scan, X-ray or ultrasound. This test is painless and safe for a baby and doesn't use X-rays. The baby may need medicine to keep her still during the test.
newborn screening test — Checks for serious but rare and mostly treatable conditions at birth. It includes blood, hearing and heart screening.
retinopathy of prematurity exam (ret-in-OP-uh-thee of pree-muh-CHOOR-uh-tee eg-ZAM) — Also called ROP exam or eye exam. This test is used most often for babies born before 30 weeks of pregnancy or babies who weigh less than 3 1/3 pounds. An eye doctor, also called an ophthalmologist, checks to see if the blood vessels in a baby's eyes are developing the right way. If there are signs of problems, the doctor keeps checking the baby's eyes over time to see if the condition gets better or needs treatment.
ultrasound (UHL-truh-sound) — A test that uses sound waves to make pictures of the inside of the body. The technician puts a special jelly on the baby's skin. Then she rolls a small device shaped like a microphone over the area of the baby's body that she wants to check. Providers often use ultrasound to check for bleeding in the baby's brain. This test is painless for the baby.
urine tests — Tests a baby's urine (a liquid the body makes by filtering waste and extra water through the kidneys) for certain health conditions. Urine tests are common in the NICU. They can tell providers a lot about a baby's overall condition. A urinary catheter (a thin tube that is put in the opening where urine passes out of the body) is used to collect the urine. Urine tests can help find out if:
weighing — Measuring a baby's weight at birth and as he grows and develops. Providers weigh a baby soon after birth and at least once a day in the NICU. It is normal for premature babies (born before 37 weeks of pregnancy) to lose some weight in the first days or weeks after birth. It's a good sign when babies start to gain weight at a steady rate.
X-ray — A test that uses small amounts of radiation to take pictures of the inside of the body. X-rays provide pictures of a baby's lungs and other organs. These pictures help a baby's doctor plan her treatment and check how well she is doing. A baby may need several lung X-rays each day if she has serious breathing problems. She is exposed to a little radiation from these X-rays, but the amount is so low that it doesn't affect her health now or in the future.

Did you know that your furry friend is a carnivore? That means they eat meat, and… Well, more meat. Of course, fruits and vegetables won't kill them. In fact, they do have a certain degree of nutritional value. However, excessive amounts of one particular ingredient that your pet is not meant to eat will stress their system. Like you and buffalo wings.
Many pets with sensitive stomachs do well on Fromm because they do not depend too heavily on any one particular ingredient. It is a real solution to pets that have intolerances, which are much more common than outright allergies. Additionally, the company only uses natural preservatives, and is a pioneer in the industry for this practice.
Rotational Diet
From created the Four-Star Nutritionals line of products specifically to provide variety and encourage rotation. Each recipe is designed to be complementary, and after transitioning to Fromm, many customers have success rotating between Four-Star recipes.
Finding the right food for your pet is sometimes trial and error. One of the benefits of Fromm's interchangeable lines is the ability to switch seamlessly to new recipes should you or your pet become unsatisfied with a particular entrée. However, all pets are different, and some pets have more sensitive stomachs which may prevent them from enjoying a particular recipe or a rotational diet. Other pets are more robust and require no transition period between recipes. It's really up to you and your pet how much rotation you would like to incorporate into their diet.

Geo. Bakker Dead; Former Supervisor
George Bakker, former Grundy county supervisor from the Lincoln-Colfax district, died about midnight Tuesday night at the home of his brother Manne at Reinbeck. Death came quite suddenly from a heart attack. He had been afflicted with a weak heart for some time. He had been living in Arizona the past 9 years, but returned here a few months ago because the heat in Arizona was too much for his health. He would have been 70 years old had he lived until the 28th of December.
He was born in Colfax township and grew up on a farm in Lincoln township. He was twice married. His first wife was May Wumkes, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. Wumkes. He was married a second time about three years ago. His second wife is in Arizona.
Other surviving relatives are his brother Manne and his sister, Mrs. Charles H. Petersen, Grundy Center.
Funeral services will be held at the French funeral home at Reinbeck at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon. It was expected to have the funeral service at the Lincoln Center church, but that church is now being remodeled. Rev. Henry Zwaanstra, pastor of the Lincoln Center church, will officiate at the service. Burial will be by the side of the first wife in the Lincoln Center church cemetery.

The Use of Advanced Statistical Concepts and Analysis to Improve Nonlinear Dynamic Glucose Modeling
Degree Type

Doctor of Philosophy
First Advisor
Derrick K. Rollins
Type 2 diabetes is one of the greatest burdens on the health care industry today. This condition is characterized by poor control of blood glucose concentration (BGC). In order to help those afflicted with type 2 diabetes better control their BGC, the goal of this research is to develop a device that can noninvasively measure BGC. There are several statistical issues that must be addressed before such a device can be developed. The first is to identify inputs that appear to infer BGC and choose a model that can use these inputs to accurately predict BGC. Due to its ability to assign unique dynamics to each input, the Wiener network model is used to predict BGC for each subject. However, there are several challenges to fitting a Wiener network model that can accurately predict BGC, including estimating a large number of parameters, the nonlinearity of the parameters, the stiffness of the least squares objective function for fitting this model, and possible overfitting. Thus an algorithm is designed to fit a Wiener network model where the correlation between predicted and observed BGC is maximized under supervised learning. However, such models were fit with frequent BGC measurements every five minutes. For a non-insulin dependent person, there may only be four BGC measurements per day, which for a week of data or less, implies that there are fewer observations than parameters. Thus, in order to calibrate a noninvasive device, some parameters were held fixed to reduce parameterization, and a novel scheme was devised to estimate the remaining model parameters. Finally, a method of predicting future BGC should be devised that could be used to warn the user if their BGC is going to be too low or too high in the near future. Time series models that use only outputs, such as autoregressive models, to predict BGC into the future performed well in the very near future, but performance degraded quickly as time increased. By utilizing the Wiener network model and previous measurements of BGC, a k-steps ahead prediction model is devised that predicts BGC 5k minutes into the future. This is used to calculate approximate (1-α) 100% forecast intervals for BGC up to one hour into the future.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. -- A man accused of a deadly stabbing in Luzerne County was in court Wednesday morning.
"Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law," Clark said as he was taken into his preliminary hearing in Wilkes-Barre.
Clark is charged with the stabbing death of his 17-year-old nephew Tarese Previlon last month on Holland Street.
According to court papers, Clark was caught watching Previlon's mother bathing. She called her son for help. That's when the teen was stabbed.
He died two weeks later.
Clark is locked up in Luzerne County.

BASF starts up new butadiene extraction plant at its Verbund site
BASF today announced the start-up of a new butadiene extraction plant at its Verbund site in Antwerp, Belgium. The plant has an annual production capacity of 155,000 metric tons.
The plant in Antwerp is BASF's second butadiene extraction plant in Europe. BASF already operates a butadiene extraction plant at its Verbund site in Ludwigshafen, Germany, with an annual production capacity of 105,000 metric tons. With the plant in Antwerp, BASF is more than doubling its production capacity for butadiene in Europe.
"This plant secures our internal supply with butadiene at competitive costs," said Dr. Uwe Kirchgäßner, head of BASF's regional business unit Basic Petrochemicals Europe. "In addition, it enables us to take advantage of opportunities on the external market and strengthens our market position in Europe."
The butadiene will be extracted from crude C4, a product from the steam cracker. "With the new plant we are further developing the integration of the C4 value chain in Antwerp," said Wouter de Geest, CEO of BASF Antwerpen NV. "This important investment strengthens the Verbund at the Antwerp site."
Butadiene is a raw material that can be used to produce synthetic rubber, among other applications. The tire industry is one of the main consumers of butadiene. Other applications for butadiene include plastics production and paper chemicals.

ObjectivesSlay 5 Talrendis Lorekeepers and locate a Lorekeeper Summoning Stone[10.6, 69.8] somewhere within Talrendis Point.
- Talrendis Lorekeeper slain (5)
Are you sensitive to the tremors of the local ley-lines, <name>? I can feel the occasional thrum, like the plucking of a string. It's the kind of resonance I'd expect from a long-range summoning spell. The Lorekeepers in Talrendis, with their laughably primitive magics, are trying to summon in backup from Darnassus.
We can use this to our advantage, <name>. If you can compromise their summoning stone, we can teleport a crack team of commandos behind enemy lines.
Locate the summoning stone in Talrendis!
Images of a great and distant tree flood your mind. Your stomach lurches as you reorient the stone, briefly filling your senses with visions of a fiery portal, a towering mountain, a frigid wasteland, and a terrible scar across the earth.
After a moment, the magical energies of the stone calm, and you feel you are but a step away from Valormok. Andorel's invasion can begin...

Emery County is in the Colorado Plateau province—and it includes three different kinds of landscape. The high, cool, forested mountains of the Wasatch Plateau rise to the west. Along the base of the plateau lies Castle Valley, with its farms, ranches and settlements.
But desert country takes up most of the county. This desert has many variations: the rugged and fantastical San Rafael Swell, the rock hoodoos of Goblin Valley, slot canyons, wide stretches of land west of the Green River, Cedar Mountain, and more.
The county's lifeblood—the San Rafael River—begins in the Wasatch Plateau. There, several reservoirs store its headwaters for agricultural and industrial use. Three creeks—Huntington Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Ferron Creek—flow from the Plateau into Castle Valley and join to form the San Rafael River. The river then twists its way through the canyons and desert to its junction with the Green River.
Emery County is a big land, but it was once much larger. But the state legislature split off Grand County in 1890 and Carbon County in 1894.
People have lived in the San Rafael region for thousands of years. The Archaic culture evolved into the Fremont culture, which lived in the area until about A.D. 1300.
Prehistoric people left behind many pictograph and petroglyph panels, in places such as Temple Mountain Wash, Muddy Creek, Ferron Box, Black Dragon Canyon, , and Buckhorn Wash, all sites listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Later, Ute Indians occupied sites in Castle Valley. In the 1830s and 40s, travelers along the Old Spanish Trail passed through the present county.

For several decades, settlers concentrated on the "easier" places in Utah. This remote region didn't attract much attention.
But as Sanpete County became overgrazed, and as settlers claimed much of the water and land, livestock owners brought their herds over the Wasatch Plateau into the county for winter range.
It wasn't until 1877, though, that settlers began to move in for good.
That year, Brigham Young wrote a letter to the Mormon church leader in Sanpete County and asked him to send 50 families or more to settle in Emery County. (Young died shortly after he wrote the letter.) Many families responded and moved into Castle Valley to take up homesteads and develop settlements.
Elizabeth Jackson Reid came with her husband. She later wrote:
There were only three other women on Cotton Wood Creek and two of them were Danish and could not speak English and we were all so far apart…. Such a barren desert to come to…. It almost made me heart sick an ddoes to this day to look back and think of what it was then. Six small children and two hundred miles in everey direction to get to civilization with an ox team."*
At first, the family lived in a dugout house with a brush roof.
Buildings at the Castle Valley Coal Company in 1911.
Although livestock and farming remained the mainstay of the county's economy through most of its history, two big developments changed things quite a bit:
1) In 1883, the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad came through the county.
2) Coal mines opened at Scofield, Castle Gate, and Sunnyside in Carbon County by 1895.
This meant that farmers could ship out produce and livestock on the railroad. Also, they could sell produce and livestock to feed workers in the mines. And some Emery residents chose to work in the mines during the winter and farm during the summer.
The railroad also led to the transformation of the town of Green River from a little mail station to an important town.
During the 1970s Emery County's population grew a lot—from around 5,000 in 1970 to 13,000 in 1983. This was during the time of an "energy crisis" in the United States—so energy development led to "booms" in areas with fossil fuels.
In response to the energy crisis, during the 1970s Utah Power and Light Company built two large power plants and a reservoir in the county. Also, large coal mines opened or geared up to provide coal for the mines.
Officials in charge of providing services scrambled to make sure there was enough water, schools, landfills, roads, and other services for all the newcomers.
After the construction ended, however, the population and employment fell, and hard times returned.
A missile prepared to launch at the Green River Launch Complex.
In recent years, scenic lands of Emery County have gotten attention from people who would like to see them gain additional protection. As is usual in Utah, this topic is sparks strong emotions among people who disagree on how these lands should be used.
For 15 years, a missile launch complex near Green River boosted that city's economy and population. But the missiles stopped flying in 1979. More recently, the town of Green River has become well-known for a product grown there for decades: melons. Thousands of melon fans look specifically for Green River melons during late summer.
