Will & Kate or the IPad 2 bait?

April 29th marked 2 momentous moments in history on this side of the world.
The launch of the IPad 2 and the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
If one successfully queued for and managed to snare the IPad 2 from 6am(not the night before like in Kay El) they would become too engrossed fiddling with the gizmo,lovingly encasing it and heading to the nearest wifi outlet to show off,to give two hoots about how an ordinary girl with an ambitious former air stewardess mother managed to hook a prince.

A couple of outlets hosted live screenings of the event of the No2 in line to the British throne happening far,far away,while those number 13 in line in certain tech stores on the island became frustrated at not being able to purchase any units cos our kiamsap Penangites are truly cash rich and thus able to purchase in bulk the things they really like.

Food outlets anticipating the anglophiles had sparse,dismal crowds while the tech ones thinned out by 11am. It was pretty much the same everywhere else.
Her dress and the launch date itself were shrouded in over the top secrecy and though Apple didn't dissapoint,her b-o-r-i-n-g like dress that looks like one could find it at Bripex or a Jakarta toko did.Zzzzzzzzzzz.

The manner with which purchases were allowed to be conducted with regards to the device were food for thought.As the case with her too slim svelte figure so akin to Mattel's dark haired Barbie left a pretty dry taste our mouths.
Seems super slim was the new in and both Kate and her sis(oh the low neck was a sacrilege and did I not see her flirt with Harry?) were more preoccupied with showing off their figure to the world and proving that the two of them combined were skinnier than Steve Jobs' latest offering.

Those that hoped for a fabulous dress and a fairytale wedding were dissapointed.How plain and how ungrand it was of a person marrying into aristrocracy to do us watchers such an injustice.

If you had seen Diana's wedding,you would understand how she turned into a people pleaser prone to human err, that single handedly sparked mania and lifted the profile of the royal family starting on the day itself.
People are disquieted by the rumours swirling around that Kate was planted and pushed into baiting Diana's son .We hate seeing Diana's ring on her finger and we hate the unblushing bride's (cos they've been shagging each other for ages already)balcony kiss.In fact the only blushing girl visible was her bridesmaid sis exactly  at the length of time she had her arm around Harry.Geez.
Failure.Fizzle and Flop.

We loved Diana for all her faults.She was a trendsetter of her time.
It's easier to hate Kate for whatever anyone says,she's a copycat who dresses just like any fashionable lady on the streets of London and even in Rome.
Yea the ladies on these streets outshine those in Paris anytime these days.
Her face looks too perfect just like an on the way to becoming aneroxic version of Pia Toscano.Like beauty queen material for a prom night.The one that people want to hate already even for all of her mighty talents.
Regal?Not.Rehearsed? YES! Did you notice how she waved to the crowds?

How annoying on both counts being no.15 in the sea of madness that drove around for the next few hours so tempted to fly into kl just for a slice of an apple.
Sigh.
Not forgetting the chaos caused by torrential rains,flash floods and massive jams from here through to Butterworth today.
Gosh,what an unfruitful day it was.

That Chicken Outlet Again

Geez.One complain after the next.
Ever since that ONE company took control of Pizza Hut and KFC not to mention killed Shakey's in Malaysia,service and quality truly went to the dogs.
After you read this article taken from The Malay Mail,do count your chickens cos although this occured in Kajang,it could happen here too.
The customer bought a barrel with 3 pieces missing.3 pieces mysteriously vanished into thin air.That's right.

When you underfeed,overworked and underpay your staff this is what you get.

Half Eaten Chicken In A Barrel

KFC says chicken skin may have been stuck on grease-proof paper

T.K. LETCHUMY TAMBOO

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011 10:14:00

BEING an ardent fan of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), it is no surprise that the fast food is often a popular eatery for BUGUNA MONEYRAJ and her large family-of-eight.
But the Kajang resident's experience with the establishment on March 20 has made her think twice before stepping into any of their outlets again.
"At the KFC drive-thru in Kajang, I bought a chicken barrel, coleslaw and whipped potato for dinner," she tells Hotline.
Upon reaching home to her hungry family, BUGUNA was shocked to find a piece of chicken in the barrel that looked partially eaten.
"When I inspected the other pieces, I realised there were only 18 pieces in the barrel instead of the usual 21."
She immediately stopped her family from eating and brought the barrel back to the outlet, some two kilometres from her home. There, she related the problem to the manager, who happened to be the same staff who took her order earlier.
"But all he did was apologise and said he would add on the 'missing' chicken without explaining why it was short in the first place. I told him I wanted a new barrel instead," says BUGUNA.
Despite her request, she says the manager just added another three pieces into the barrel and replaced the half-eaten chicken with a new one.
"The manager also said I could complain to the relevant authorities if I wanted to. Since my family was already waiting for food, I had no choice but to take the barrel and leave," she says.
BUGUNA  feels that KFC should not take their customers for granted and train their staff to be friendlier.
She wants an explanation from the fast food joint about the incident.

● A KFC Holdings (Malaysia) Bhd spokesman says: "We clarify that on the night in question, the restaurant manager on duty had acknowledged the issue and had apologised to BUGUNA for the inconvenience she experienced and her dissatisfaction over our service and products.
"The restaurant manager had also replaced the alleged missing pieces to rectify the problem.
"After investigating her complaint that one of the chicken drumsticks was half-eaten, we came to the possible conclusion that the skin of the freshly cooked drumstick may have got caught onto the grease proof paper lining the box and as such, when the customer took it out of the barrel, the meat separated."
When contacted, BUGUNA expressed her dissatisfaction over how KFC handled the whole situation.
"They only explained about the half-eaten chicken. What is their excuse for putting only 18 pieces in the barrel?
"I'm not happy with their explanation and will pursue the matter with a higher authority."

Goat's Milk and Local Mutton*/Lamb*/Goat Meat @ Penang

* Our food operators are notorious for mislabelling/miscategorising/misspelling foods according to their whims and fancies.Unless you are one hundred percent sure they import their meats and do not use local sources(oh did I mention they are prone to bluffing too?) I would lump them all under the same type of meat,especially more,since beef can be passed off as fake mutton at our Banana Leaf and Nasi Kandar outlets!
You did know that didn't you?Didn't you?

Update (27th April 2011)

Only today does The Star run the article "Errant Goat Farm Sealed"one day later than The Sun.How half hearted and smacking of guilt.
It goes on to mention the four people that were infected.Am not putting it up here.You can google the headline and read between the lines.What an embarassment.I really do hope some heads will roll over this fiasco.

Earlier posting

Not long after the article run by The Star newspaper "Goat Farm An Added Attraction"came out,I wrote a piece to remind us of the dangers of drinking unboiled goat's milk.

Then on the 19th of April,The Star runs an article online saying that the department had imposed a quarantine on the farm.It doesn't mention that 4 people have contracted brucellosis.
This is downright irresponsible journalism on their part.
Today,the 26th of April,The Sun newspaper has this to say,"FOUR CONFIRMED TO HAVE BRUCELLOSIS"

I won't dilly dally so long over this subject.Just gonna attach 2 articles for you to peruse and come to your own conclusions.

Anyway,when it comes to this particular newspaper,they have a great track record for really sucking at food journalism from wayyyyyyyy back.

Currently their number one reporter based in kay el is numero uno on my list for borhochiakness.I am not blown away by her smorgasboard of impressive looking on the outside patchwork recommendations.
She's trying way too hard till she comes off as a desperado essay writing freak, giving her all to keep her nice cushy food review job.She should stick to her corporate writing which she does very well at and not try to poison us with all her crap.

When it comes to enthusiastic food reviews,do read through that newspapers reporting with a pinch of salt.Cos they at the HQ do tend to like to employ people based on looks alone,very sexy or good looking people or extremely big breasted women who seem intelligent and probably did very well in college but are pompous overbloated airheads.
Serious reporters who look like Julie Andrews would probably not get a break here in this office.If they do,they'll be put behind a desk...out of sight.

Their rival newspaper(an otherwise good read with in depth English language)on the other hand likes to have hot kooci mamas and old bimbos as their food writers.Sheesh.

Thirdly,the Sun (the free paper)doesn't churn out many food reviews but at least their stable of plain,boring looking,perhaps ugly?writers are honestly brutal,sometimes to the point of making some people in the F&B line loosing their jobs.Oh well.Win some loose some.

Anyway coming back to my inclusion of local goat/mutton meat as a no go.
Look at at this way.Phee,has already given him a warning.He is confirmed to be as stubborn as an ass.
I bet you if he got wind that they were going to cull the goats,he would dispose of them as meat into our local markets.So stay away from juicy grilled lamb shoulder at the local westerns,sup kambing,mutton curry and the like too until this blows over and the operator comes back to his senses and does the right thing.

Four Confirmed To Have Brucellosis (Himanshu Bhatt) 26th April 2011-The Sun

Georgetown: Four people have been confirmed to have contracted the contagious brucellosis disease after consuming contaminated goat's milk at a farm in Penang,since health authorities raised an alert on April 18th.
The four comprise a Singaporean tourist and three Penangites.
The Singaporean who had visited the farm in Air Itam here earlier this month is back in Singapore where he is receiving intense treatment.It is understood that the disease has begun to affect his kidneys.
Penang Health Committee chairman Phee Boon Poh said the authorities were working to monitor and control the 39 goat farms in Penang as a precautionary measure.Eleven were unlicensed.All movement of goats out of the farms is now prohibited.
Brucellosis can be transmitted from an affected human to another.The bacteria,Brucellosis Melitensis,with which the goat's milk consumed by the four had been infected,can cause chronic diseases that can persist for life.It can also cause reproductive diseases and intense fever.
Phee yesterday advised consumers to filter with a cloth and boil all fresh milk before consumption.He said the Veterinary Department,Penang Island Municipal Council and Health Department had conducted a follow-up inspection at the Air Itam farm on Sunday and found that its operator had FAILED to comply with restrictions imposed.
Seventy-seven dairy goats at the farm have been confirmed to be carrying the bacteria.The goats were among about 300 at the farm that have been quarantined.
"We gave the farm operator firm instructions on April 18th to restrict movement of the goats but this has not been adhered to"Phee said."We have also told them not to sell any of the goats or their milk.They must not even give away the goats droppings as manure.
Stressing that uninfected goats may be housing bacteria currently in the incubation period,he warned farm operators to comply with health department directives.
Phee said the authorities were empowered to cull affected goats and pay the owners compensation of only RM50 each.
"Don't push your luck too far and test our patience.This disease is highly contagious and we do not want the situation to go out of control"

Goat Farm An Added Attraction (24th March 2011)-The Star

By Ann Tan (anntan@thestar.com.my)

Air Itam is now more than just the Kek Lok Si Temple,Penang Hill and Air Itam Dam.

Fresh and nutritious: A worker milking the goat at the farm near the Air Itam Dam

A goat’s milk farm located several metres away from the dam has somehow become a new tourist attraction for Penang.
Formally a durian orchard, the 1.6ha land was later converted into a farm by three brothers Sen Ng, Adie Ng and Ray Ng in 2009 and has now more than 300 goats.

Growing well: Sen showing a one-week-old kid at his goat's milk farm

Sen, 45, who opted for early retirement after serving the police force for 20 years, said the farm is part of their hobbies.

Enjoying their food: (above) The goats feeding on soya bean waste at the farm located a few metres away from the Air Itam Dam; (below) Cham (in orange) from Pahang about to drink the goat's milk. With him are his wife and daughter

“We started off with only four goats and slowly bred them into the number we have today.
“We hope the place can be a stopover for joggers or tourists after a tired walk at the dam.
“Our farm is also open for the public to visit and see how we manage the goats and obtain their milk. Entrance is free,” he said when met at his farm recently.
Sen said among the goats kept in the farm are the “Alpine, Anglo-Nubian, Saanen and Toggenburg” breeds.
“Our goats’ milk is free from pungent taste as we feed them grasses, soya bean waste and bean sprout shells. We have eight workers, six from India and two locals, to maintain the farm. They also have to look for a lorry-load of grass to feed the goats,” he said.
The estimated cost for maintenance is RM10,000 per month.
Sen said the workers would milk the goats twice a day at 8am and 7pm.
“If the milk is not extracted, the kids (baby goats) would be sick when they consume it from the goats.
“Our goat’s milk is also 100% natural as we only filter the milk without adding any ingredients,” he said, adding that they could get about 50 litres milk daily.
Workers also have to cut the goats’ nails from time to time since they do not live in mountains and jungles.
The goat faeces would be kept and later sold as fertiliser.
Contractor Ken Cham, 40, from Pahang was seen stopping by at the farm with his wife Cheng Guat Kuan, 37, and daughter Lina Cham, 12, after their visit to the Kek Lok Si Temple.
“My cousin brother took me here and I find the goat’s milk tasty,” Cham said.

Zealand Bah Kut Teh (Chu Char) @ Gurney Drive (till 3pm)

October Update :

This is like a cat and mouse game.The gatal set of cheetah mamas and leopard execs obviously like to cling out and show off their wild vines here.They simply can't resist eyeing one another.Can't stay away for long.
So if you don't spot them today,means you will eventually catch them checking each other out on other days.All the best on your safari hunt.

September :
Penang people have been obviously talking about and reading this blog.
The hot mamas have fled.
Nowadays one gets to see more desperado menfolk with plain janes waiting for a sideshow,both parties hoping in vain for a lunchtime eye candy MILF fling.


-------------------------------------------------------------

One thing you should know about the diners here is that they are exceptionally snooty especially if they are female.
The men diners(most times equally well dressed as well) like to feast their eyes on the secretary/financial advisor types of hot mamas who chow down here.

Next this place has a bespectacled waitress that has the uncanny ability to bloat regular's heads sky high by treating them like Tan Sris,Datins or Datuks even though they might have zero moolah in their pockets.Non regulars will be snubbed by her mightiness and bundled in the same category as the bangla workforce in the kitchen.Bad.Bad service.
On the other hand,perhaps it is her way of networking.But she's pretty nasty to those she doesn't recognise.Except if you are caucasian.She will treat you like a Tun.One step higher than the locals.Sheesh.

Worst of all every dish comes out with a carpet of daun sup(the thicker stemmed chinese celery)which is pretty irritating,as if autumn had arrived and the trees were shedding.
Strangely both men and women (mostly in their mid thirties to early fourties)don't seem to notice it and chew it like they were contented goats munching on alfalfa.
They might think that they need the chlorophyll to convert their sour faces into sweet youthful sugar but I attribute it to the 7 year itch,and the need to be visually scratched by someone other than your own spouse....it's either that or everyone just got botoxed 3 weeks back.

Actually I just don't understand why this place attracts so many diners.Tastewise all their dishes rank ho hum.To be frank,the standard typical menu when translated into real dishes gracing your table,sucks big time.Nothing wonderful.
Almost at all times (unlike its night time counterpart) is the outlet filled to the brim.
Customers will park their car in Corner Club and swerve out here for the cheap chow.
Maybe that's why.
Cheap attracts the well heeled gatal eyed thirty something cheapskates.Or the fact that they now just need to pay $3 to park at Corner Club the once upon a time,one of the "in" places for the who's who of Penang.

Uncle Jeff & Aunty Jess - Malaysia's Most Un Motivational Speakers

This post has nothing to do with food.
Am putting up photos because people need to sit up and take note of these two demented individuals who are allowed free reign in our chinese language schools.

Recently The Star newspaper highlighted an article run by China Press with regards to a sex education talk in a chinese primary school given by a motivational speaker in Perak.

The extremist whom I presume has to ask his god for divine signs and blessings before having sex with his wife ,had told the pupils to shame those engaging in premarital and gay sex.

Now here's some food for thought.
Many presume these two are the culprits.I won't be surprised if they aren't.Cos they operate on along the same concept.
Abstinence,Shame,Fear and Ridicule.
So here they are.

           Presenting the righteous BITCH/WITCH herself.

AUNTY JESS

Her sex slave flogged every night bondage assistant

UNCLE JEFF

Like a pair of jackals,they constantly change their looks.
The last time I saw them,the Uncle had permed hair and no specs,the aunt wore specs and did not look so oversexed.
These two maniacs under disguise have managed to infiltrate and given talks in many,many primary schools (even kindergartens!)from Johor to Perak to Penang.

They canvas the mainly close knit Chinese speaking christian community creating a good impression amongst the adult members of the various churches that they visit and somehow manage to get a grip on the educationists that matter like those on the board of governors,who will think the world of these two charlattans and actually see to it that they get paid to brainwash and frighten an entire generation of kids.

Believe me,these are the two most sadistic bastards you will ever come across.Their lessons the most horrific throwback to the middle ages.
They won't be satisfied until your kid cries or howls out in distress.
They resort to on spot punishment.They make kids run around the hall while chanting indoctrinated rules.They make them stand up and repeat anti sex doctrines.They tell them the internet will screw you up,lusting after the opposite sex is bad,link adultery as an extended result caused by premarital romps and that homosexuality is evil.
They stop short of asking us to circumcise females and turn males into eunuchs.
Oh and the names they use to send home the message to kids is what has most netizens up in arms against the two cojoined at the sexual organ hypocrites.

Some will argue that they are trying to make a difference by encouraging abstinence till marriage itself.But what they are doing is making sex and the opposite sex look like a crime against humanity.That if you indulge or experiment with it means you are a failure as a human being.That human beings are not animals because we can inhibit our urges.That they must cage their urges.Urges are bad.
That kids,for heaven's sakes,kids  that haven't even reached puberty,must stamp their fiery lust.And that they can help their friends who have succumbed to their urges by shunning/jeering/degrading them personally.

Teachers and headmasters dare not intervene cos MONEY HAS CHANGED HANDS!
Plus,their speeches are mostly carried out in confined areas where parents have no access.

How to spot them?
Here's an example of one of their 'well-meaning'brochures of procurement for a facist regime of sexless enjoyment.It will appear to be very innocent/nice in nature compared to the Hitler aunties alter ego emerging like a viagra countering Frankenstein when she takes over the mike.
The entire 'education' only ends when the she-devil has made kids cry cos she will entrap their eagerness to answer questions.Then shock the little ones by turning around their answers into a negative one,single them out from the entire school and riddle their poor heads with guilt and shame.
Most kids walk away from their talk confused,depressed and later even more curious about gays and sex.In fact they come out thinking gay sex is cooler and more exciting than being straight.

      
           BEWARE OF CUTE POSTERS LIKE THIS





The contents of their course will steer more towards this.
They omit religion when they go to schools

WHAT THEY ACTUALLY PREACH TO SCHOOLKIDS

THIS IS NOT SEX EDUCATION.
THIS IS A MODERN DAY HEX EDUCATIONIST who thinks she is Julie Andrews and probably wishes she never lost her virginity.

Do keep an eye out for these two chastity belt wearing jokers.And do check if your kids have added them on facebook or are emailing one another.Am sure you don't want them to keep tabs on your kids behind your back by scaring the sex out of them for you.

Fake Eggs

Update :

Seems that rejected or deformed eggs are classified as E and F.
E for Egg? and F for Fail !
Just kidding.

Eggs meant for households are classified AA,A,B,C,D.
That makes most Penang egg sellers out to be a whole bunch of crooks.
Cos they buy the E's and the F's,regrade or totally mix the lot up together with the genuine AA,A,B,C,D's and sort them out according to size.

In todays press statement, the person in charge of disseminating info to the media,has unwittingly dented consumer confidence when he reveals that these E and F grade eggs are sold cheaper to bakeries and manufacturers that produce pastries,biscuits and eggssociated stuff.

Wow.Whoopee.We feel iller already.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

So finally the results are in.
Two tests were conducted,the last being a DNA one.

That's the official test.
Millions of Malaysian households conducted their own unofficial ones.

We eyeballed the eggs,we broke the shells,we sniffed the contents and we even tried to check how easily the white and the yolk blended together.
Some wore disposable gloves while handling them.Others washed their hands once too many afterwards.

We strained to see the difference between the REAL egg and the FAKE egg.It looked the same yet we reprogrammed our brains to register otherwise.
We even checked out the colour.
Deep yellow was out.
That meant the Omega and DHA eggs were...were.....

We were convinced that the eggs we had in our possession were tasteless.
Those that partook of the Macdee $5 for two big breakfastses had their heads in vomit bags.
They were convinced that the fast food giant's eggs did not taste like eggs until the giant itself had to trawl forums and blogs to refute the claims.

That the eggs are confirmed and certified not fake will see to it that red faces abound from the dusty halls of the CAP through the many hi tech editors desks that approved related articles creating an eggs-traordinary mess.
CAP tsk tsk tsk...how on earth are we to take them seriously anymore after this fiasco?
I thought they sent everything to labs and backed it up with chemical breakdowns?
Not just rely on two year old round the circuit chain emails,misinformed 'informants' or their eyes,ears and noses to investigate.

Just what were we getting so worked up about?
Oh,one ministry now reassures us that those eggs are genuine,just REJECTED,DEFORMED or UNFIT for the consumer market.
Apparently approved ones have a V stamped on them.
Frankly I haven't noticed any printed on eggs sold in the wet markets.
How reasssuring.Yall can sleep easy tonight.Yea right.....

Thanks to the temporary hysteria,we now know that odd shaped eggs and egg shells that are rough to the touch come from old hens.
That's downright cruel.
Like making your mom reproduce your 35th sibling before she hits menopause.

We now also know that the texture of eggs also depend on what ANTIBIOTICS and chicken feeds the birds consume.Thanks alot.
Geez.Brilliant.
Next time you have a flu,don't go to the doctor.... just pop in an egg for the next 5 days,every 4 hours.

Some emboldened egg sellers now even dare to say that the Pulau Tikus squealer bought STALE eggs.
Who the heck asked them to sell us stale eggs?

Therefore,before you put all your eggs in a basket,make sure they are not Reject Shop,Factory Outlet Store,Closing Down Chickencoop Sales or Ayam-ayam Pencen Old Fowl Homes ones.
Ensure that you select smooth shelled,not too large and perfectly shaped ones.
Actually that is a marketing tip that good homeministers would have instilled into their kids from young.
Good homeministers that actually know how to cook,not just order their maid around,or stuff their Twiddledum bratwurst kids while they diet like a mouse,mind you.

On another note,the night time koay kak seller in Burma Road was overheard retorting to a customer that had insisted on eggless koay kak.
He furiously knocked 3 eggs into the pan and DARED her to take it or leave it cos there are others that will buy it if she doesn't.
She took it but walked back to her car with heavy stooped shoulders,heart full of grief and head so heavily downcast with guilty burden.
I felt for her.

Everyone is just so eggxasperated over the whole sickening to the gut eggpisode,don't you think?

Bravo Italiana @ I-Avenue

I want to start by saying just how dissapointed I am by all the hype over this place.

You get lots of bloggers waxing lyrical and gushing about how good/great/greatest the food here is.
Liars.

The place is packed during lunch cos we all like offers.Offers like the one Manhattan fish market and Mc D's offered recently.
At night however,it is as quiet as the ruins of the Coliseum.

In the first place,the set up itself should have served as a warning.The clues lie in the bar fixtures and choice of rubberwood style of furniture.The bar area resembles the kitchen design resembling one of those really bad japanese restaurants run by local proprietors.

The entire place is so dimly lit and very grimy.It would help if you had some infrared device to tell sprinkled parsley apart from spawning algae.
The Italian music flowing through does not help to set the atmosphere,when the staff look so gloomy,obviously under trained and low on spirits.
Take note that the waitress might approach you as if you were a lion about to have her for dessert.

Everything looks just one step higher than pure foodcourt cheapness.Also,the mood just isn't right.
At a certain point I did feel as if I were dining in a Vatican city grotto while being watched over by a couple of Roman hantus.Like a purgatory on earth.

The tall bespectacled Bladywaiter eyes you but has no courtesy to hold open the door for you to enter the restaurant nor exit it.He knows you are there but prefers to get out of the way,this perverted male bimbo.

The cook takes orders like he were the Pope's Swiss guard stuffed into garters and suspenders.Not happy at all,just wants to get it over and done with so he can continue fantasizing about Berlusconi's Bunga-Bunga harems.

The only thing good to come out of all the food we ordered was the lasagne.It is not excellent though.It is ok but frankly Dome serves a more mouthwatering version even though it costs slightly higher than this outlet.I don't mind paying for a good meal,but I do mind being scalped for a mediocre one that thrives on overrated hype.

I can detect lots of italian herbs infused into the other dishes yet when all put together,they just won't make you want to spring to your feet and scream Bravo!
I didn't like the soup.I hated the grills.The seafood is uninspiring,meats awful.
The beef was so badly done as if someone had crocheted together tendons of tasteless overfrozen meats,popped it in the dishwasher and panfried it just before serving.

At the end of it all,the meal cost us a bomb,arm and leg.
Not worth it and am never coming back again.Ever.
Would rather plunge from a gondola into the canals of Venice and drown with Bravado.
