Case - VIKING Raft Tracker - Solution built on SCP... invokers.
VIKING is a global company that manufactures and services life rafts, suits and life jackets, fire equipment and evacuation systems for many of the largest cruise ships and freight vessels in the world, as well as personal safety equipment for some of the most complex offshore platforms.
Some of VIKING’s challenges were that employees did not use the former systems for e.g. stock registrations and listings of service status on incoming and outgoing lifeboats as the systems were simply too complex. Instead, they used spreadsheets in paper form, resulting in inconsistencies and errors in, e.g., stock status and accessibility – and thus extended response time and express shipping to customers.
VIKING therefore wanted a more optimised flow at their warehouses and service stations to ensure high quality and efficiency and thereby higher customer satisfaction.
“We went live with Raft Tracker in May 2018 at our department in Liverpool, and from the very first day it was clear what significance the solution will have for the efficiency of our service stations. Registration tasks that were previously done using a relatively heavy ERP-based solution - or even paper and pen - and involved several people are now completed digitally by the warehouse worker in just a few minutes."
Raft Tracker is an efficient mobile tool for optimising VIKING’s service stations and life raft stocks. The solution is developed for VIKING’s warehouse workers and consists of an iOS app with a built-in scanner function. This feature allows the employees to use their iPad or iPhone camera to scan barcodes on life rafts and labels on delivery forms.
The app replaces paper-based processes and gives VIKING a digital overview of stock transactions and which rafts are in transit, under service or on-board ships.
Raft Tracker is a native iOS app, built with the latest SAP Fiori SDK for iOS, with SAP Cloud Platform (SCP) as innovation platform. SCP is now also the basis for VIKING’s future digital solutions.
Apple and SAP combined with Effective Design Thinking ensure that they can develop and implement solutions in just a few months. This is also a combination that invokers highly recommends to their customers.
VIKING got a solution that ensures a clear, transparent and always updated overview of stock status. The overview and solution optimises asset utilisation, reduces inventory and ensures the foundation for fast and efficient customer service.
The solution is a user-friendly and efficient tool for VIKING’s warehouse workers. Now, with the help of their mobile devices, they can quickly register equipment status and equipment requirements on life rafts – both on those in stock and those on their way in to or out of the warehouse.
The overview and features of the app mean that the amount of errors is reduced significantly, and valuable working hours are released.

So I've been talking to a few people and realized there are a few of us with posting goals. I wanted to make a spiritual successor of Moon's old 'Posting Goals' thread but with your own personal place to track your progress.
So claim a post below to keep track of all your posting goals/quests. I will link to each person's post below.
Goal: Make 72nd top poster by Feb 19/18.
I may add a posting goal but right now I am just thinking "Right, yes, that was a thing I did."
From that 2012 thread I have not made my 70k posting goal.
-peeks in- hey, I like you're idea for a thread to help along with peoples posting goals. I don't have one currently, but if I decide on one I'll be sure to add it here.
10k posts in 1 year was a pretty big goal, but your less than 3k away from it now!
If you want to make a new goal, I'll make sure to link your thread to the first post.
@Keres: Thanks! I keep on losing track of how many posts I need to make when I miss my goal on some days, so I thought this thread will be useful.
I'll make sure to link your post if you decide to make a goal.
When I first got on Zanny I did more then 10k in a year. I thought it was doable but its been 3-4 years.
Wow, you made more posts in 1 year than I made in my whole time on Zan.
Next you'll be telling the kids to 'Get off my lawn'.
You kids need to get out my thread or pay rent!
Goal: 9000 posts didn't seem likely and it was discouraging getting farther and farther from my goal. As such, I decided to have a new goal of 6000 posts.
Progress: I'm currently at 5,837 posts.
My hope is to make it to the Top 50 in number of posts. However, since that's bound to change, my official quest will be to have 9000 posts by the end of 2016.
December 24th, 2015: Started goal of 9000 posts by end of 2016 with 4,953 posts and 372 days left, I needed 10.9 posts/day. I was ranked #108.
January 1st, 2016: With 5,036 posts and 364 days left, I still needed 10.9 posts/day (330.3 posts/month). I was ranked #106.
February 1st, 2016: With 5,154 posts and 334 days left, I needed 11.6 posts/day (349.7 posts/month). I was ranked #102.
March 1st, 2016: With 5,325 posts and 305 days left, I needed 12.1 posts/day (367.5 posts/month). I was ranked #100.
April 1st, 2016: With 5,442 posts and 273 days left, I needed 13.1 posts/day (397.6 posts/month). I was ranked #98.
May 1st, 2016: Started month with 5,469 posts.
June 1st, 2016: Had 5,504 posts at the beginning of the month.
July 1st, 2016: Had 5,525 posts at the beginning of the month.
August 1st, 2016: Had 5,533 posts at the beginning of the month.
September 1st, 2016: Had 5,558 posts at the beginning of the month.
9000 posts didn't seem likely and it was discouraging getting farther and farther from my goal. As such, I decided to have a new goal of 6000 posts.
Septermber 10th, 2016: Started new goal for 6000 posts by end of year. Had 5620 posts and 111 days left, I needed 3.43 posts/day. I was ranked #95.
October 1st, 2016: Had 5671 posts and 90 days left, I needed 3.43 posts/day. I was ranked #95.
November 1st, 2016: Had 5727 posts and 60 days left, I needed 4.55 posts/day. I was ranked #95.
January 1st, 2017: Had 5785 posts, and I was ranked #95.
February 1st, 2017: Had 5837 posts, and I was ranked #95.
I added a link to your post, Clausey!
Hopefully it doesn't but if it helps I was just reminded that almost all the past give away discussion questions are still listed in the third post of FOTY. Answer them and you may get something nice.
Goal: Bo is going to make it into the top 50 posters by making it to 10,000 posts to make sure Bo is well within the top 50.
Progress: I'm currently at 8,326 posts.
# of Days left: No set time limit.
I already have plans to extend my posting goal, but I will get this one out of the way first.
Goal: Have 7582 posts by the end of March to qualify for the Flight of the Yoricks Contest.

If you are an existing user of our project, you can use the premium version of the application for 2 months completely free of charge, and the Premium version is activated automatically when the program is updated.
The application does not support DRM encryption songs.
We will be grateful if you take a moment to rate our app in the App Store!
I’ve been using this app for music that I can’t add to iTunes, and can’t use the EQ in it. It’s a really good app, with good sound, but, my biggest strife with this, is the fact that it skips a song in the middle, without me pressing anything or clicking anything. Sometimes, my phone will be on my desk and it will randomly switch the song. The second thing is the fact that with certain songs, the EQ is very weak and doesn’t make much of a difference at all. However, for the majority, the EQ sounds great and is pretty versatile. I only wish that you could do more with the EQ. Other than that, this app is really good and I recommend everyone to try it out.
The app displays several album covers and has a title like 90s or something, but they each have the same song and it isn’t a song from that album, the cover that says purchased has all my iPad loaded songs, but they are displayed in random order, so you can’t find anything. There is no way to alphabetize. There is no access to the equalizer curve or curves, or any presets. It is what it is, but no thought whatsoever was given to the UI. Not usable.

The Surprising Story Of A Super Bowl Snack : The Salt From Cheetos to Doritos, fried corn snacks have become a fixture at Super Bowl parties. But the original American corn chip, the Frito, was first meant to be a healthy side dish and ingredient for cooking.
Presented on a gourmet plate or eaten out of the bag the chips came in, Frito Pie is an American standard.
This Super Bowl Sunday, millions of Americans will watch the game with bowls of corn-based snacks at their side. Whether you prefer Doritos, Cheetos, or even Funyuns, you owe the pleasure of that crunchy munchy to the humble corn curl that started it all: the Frito.
This week, our friends at Smithsonian's Food & Think blog trace the origins of the Frito back to entrepreneur C.E. Doolin's encounter with a Mexican frita, or "small fried thing," made of cornmeal, water, and salt. It was 1932 in San Antonio, and the flavor so inspired Doolin that he found the man responsible for the chips, a Mexican immigrant named Gustavo Olquin, and bought his equipment, recipe, and business contacts for $100.
Over the years, Doolin expanded the business, mechanized the chip-making process, and invented new flavors and products, like the Cheeto. The Fritos brand went on in 1961 to merge with the Lay potato chip company, another Depression-era family business.
Doolin died in 1959, but had already paved the way for an explosion of corn-based snacks – from Cheetos, to Doritos, to Tostitos, and even Funyuns. And like the original Frito, each of those products is essentially just fried cornmeal with flavorings.
Unlike Fritos, though, Funyuns and Cheetos are extruded: Their puffy texture comes from batter being mixed with hot water under pressure and exposed to air. You can see it and the rest of the Funyun-making process happen inside the factory in this recent video from National Geographic.
The Fritos brand pulled in more than $1 billion last year — much of it from the winning combination of corn, fat and salt. It's a strange legacy for Doolin, who was actually something of a health nut, according to a 2007 story from NPR's Hidden Kitchens series. Although his wife created recipes like Frito Pie and Frito Jets (Fritos smothered in chili and dark chocolate, respectively), Doolin always imagined Fritos as a side dish for meals, something to eat by the handful – not by the party-size bag.
Doolin's daughter Kaleta told NPR's Kitchen Sisters that she and her siblings "were raised vegetarian, and people made fun of me for eating yogurt and figs in my sack lunch." She said her father would even bring home bags of Fritos he'd taken off the manufacturing line before they'd been salted.
The success of the less-healthy versions of his snacks doesn't seem to have bothered Doolin during his lifetime, though. Were he alive today, he might be happy to see that they've become a staple of Super Bowl parties nationwide.
But I wonder how he'd feel about Vanilla-Caramel Corn FRITOS® Pie.

This downloadable application, available exclusively in the Nintendo eShop, lets players easily create all kinds of creatures and objects, some beautiful, some bizarre. The program brings them to life complete with animations and personalities. The player can then take control of them and explore a whimsical game world, which can also be modified with customized creations.
Once the newly created creature gets a name and a voice, then it’s time to play. It comes to life and the player can control it using simple touch-screen controls. It can be made to walk, jump or even fly through a game world that contains all kinds of magical things to discover.
Players can even unlock the ability to redesign elements in the game world. Don’t like puffy, white clouds? Make them purple with pink polka-dots.
Players who activate the StreetPass™ feature can also wirelessly swap characters.
looks like spore... I might get this!
Yeah, this looks great. This will be a Day 1 download for me. Stuff like this is great for filling my commuting journey. StreetPass support just makes it essential. I hit a couple of people every day, so hopefully they'll be Freaks too.
Picked this up today. I'll be honest; its the best 3DSWare I have downloaded so far. The japanese style voices can be strange at times, as can the characters you create, but much like drawn to life the game offers a fun experience. I'd give it an 8/10 for the game value and its value for money :3.
Just for the record I have Pyramids - which I find highly disapointing (6/10 Game Score but 8/10 value for money).
I also Have excitebike, which is fun at times, but not all that great. (7/10 Game Score and 6/10 value for money). Pokedex 3D is alright, but somewhat lacking in stuff to do. (4/10 Game Score but 10/10 value for money).
I have been playing it. It is Very good, and quite unique. The only game that seems similar to this is SPORE. Of course SPORE is much more expansive, but you get about the same joy creating these very odd creatures.
This game just seems too 'baby-like'. As an adult playing this, I'm wondering how on Earth adults can play this without thinking they're playing a kids game? (Maybe it's meant for kids.) To the guy above who said he loved this and hated Pyramids... uhm... yeah.... Pyramids is an excellent 3dsware game. This on the other hand, seems a little childish. Maybe for kids ages 1-8, but no one older than that I wish Nintendo would make (or developers would make) games that appealed to every age group without caving in to looking too cartoonish or too adult. This is a big No for me just based on the visuals.
Hmm, I think I might get this when I get a 3DS. In answer to the above comments, I'm also an adult and feel no shame in games presented as being for kids, or that have cartoony graphics. Windwaker is my favourite game and I've enjoyed Spore and other 'kids' games. There's no point being ashamed because honestly, are that many people looking over your shoulder as you play?
@9 Yes I feel the same way im an adult now and I feel great still, in fact Im willing to brag to my friends on the bus who are younger who arnt willing to play this because it will make them look too childish, and I think by saying its too childish that makes them more childish.

Well! These socks almost broke me. They were originally meant to be a birthday gift for Jason. He had been wanting a pair of crochet socks, which is only fair seeing as I’ve been making a pair for myself every month for almost a year. I got started – I took Jason’s foot measurements, taking note of the high arches, and then ignored them. Big mistake. Big. Huge. When he tried to put on the socks they wouldn’t go past the leg of the sock. Not even the awkward heel/ankle part, but the leg! And the toes were too long. So I went back, but thankfully only had to frog them to just before the ankle (toe-up socks).
I made several modifications to the basic crochet sock pattern by Nicole on Simple Sock Making. For the ankle/heel I used the block stitch (alternate rounds of *sc, ch1, skip* around and rounds of *sc, 2sc in ch sp* around), a very good recommendation by the super helpful Jennifer from Squirrel Picnic.
Eventually I made it through that part of the sock, that part that determines whether the sock will fit or not. The next bridge I had to cross was the gigantic leg – I had been increasing after all – but by now I was ready for it. I knew not to start decreasing until nearer to the cuff otherwise all that ankle/heel work would be a waste (can you imagine!). When I reached the top I got my second wind and started working on the ribbed cuff. I really like the technique used in the Red Heart – Heart and Sole sock pattern (I used it for my July and August socks), it gives the socks a neat finish and adds a little variety after endless rounds of single crochet.
Jason put on the finished socks, there was a minor struggle but they fit. “I feel like I’m walking on someone’s sweater,” he said walking around. This was his first time wearing crochet socks. Do you remember your first time?
1. Choose durable but stretchy yarn.
2. Make sure the person doesn’t have allergies to wool, if using wool.
3. Keep a notebook and pencil handy for sudden changes, somehow feet grow when you’re not looking.
4. Buy enough yarn. Buy enough yarn. I had to say it twice because I ran out as I was starting the second leg and just think what would have happened if Michael’s didn’t have the same yarn?
6. And most importantly, don’t ignore the measurements.

This house is probably twice the size of our last home in the UK and we can't believe how quickly we can get the keys; about five weeks since I first saw it!

Hester Warnock fell in love with the charismatic Malcolm Driver in 1974 while at his farm-turned-commune, an affair that ended abruptly when a young pregnant girl was found drowned in the lake.
Thirty-five years later, now a successful magazine publisher, Hester is invited back to the scene of the crime to participate in a documentary of Malcolm's life and times as the bestselling author of Spirit Driver.
The documentary never gets off the ground. In the middle of a fierce rainstorm, she finds Malcolm hanging from a tree. Hester holds a clue that proves her ex-lover's death was not suicide but her guilty past begins to haunt her. As she unravels the secrets of the eight suspects, Hester draws closer to the truth about herself.
Set in the wilds of Quebec, The Grey Lady is a psychological thriller which explores the power play between men and women and asks whether crimes of passion can ever be excused.
In The Grey Lady Hester Warnock, a former lover of Malcolm Driver, agrees to take part in his documentary after he unexpectedly showed up to ask her to make an appearance. She hadn’t seen him in years after they split on bad terms. Malcolm was previously the leader of a commune when they were both much younger, then after that he became a spirital leader and best selling author. Hester, on the other hand, is the publisher of Deeper Vibe. Alongside appearing in the documentary she also made sure she could run a story on Malcolm. There’s one problem though: after the film crew and everyone set to appear in the documentary arrives at the shooting location, Malcolm is found by Hester hanging from a tree – an apparent suicide. Did Malcolm really kill himself, or did someone from the group do it, and if so, why?
The book opens with the police questioning Hester about Malcolm’s death, then the next half of the book jumps back to before the death of Malcolm to introduce you to the characters: who they are, how and why they’re there. While that’s fine, I felt like it dragged on and on. While character development is crucial for any story, it seemed to be a bit excessive. Luckily by the time I was about halfway into the story things finally picked up when, for the most part, the book was done with the flashbacks and instead focused on solving Malcolm’s death. The second half of the book did have the occasional flashback but it was nothing excessive, although the transitioning between past and present was a little confusing at times. On the plus side though, the characters were realistic and intriguing and the descriptions of the setting were great, almost poetic in their wording. I also enjoyed Hester’s struggle over Beth Sherry’s death when she was younger, hence the quote from the book that I placed at the very top of this post. In short, had the whole flashbacks and memories thing been dialled down a few notches and the ending a bit more suspenseful I think I would have enjoyed this whodunnit novel more.

Around the Green Mountains, backcountry skiing is exploding — thanks to new terrain, new huts and new backcountry programs.
Sometimes, Vermont can take you by surprise.
A few years back, Ben Leoni, then a student at Vermont Law School in South Royalton, took a trip up to Jay Peak. A snow squall had dusted the state on Friday and Saturday, and by the time Leoni and his friends reached the parking lot Sunday morning, a few inches of white blanketed the valley.
Up on the mountain, that blanket was two and half feet deep.
Leoni was up on Big Jay, a mountain that sits south of Jay Peak’s summit. It’s accessible by skin track from a parking lot on Route 242 East, or through a backcountry ski gate at the top of the resort.
Now a lawyer in Portland, Maine, Leoni has skied all over New England, Canada, and out west. He’s the star of Ski the East’s “Working for the Weekend” web series, and is considered one of the better backcountry skiers in New England. For Leoni, when the snow’s good, nothing beats Vermont.
Sidecountry—terrain accessed just beyond the resort’s boundaries—has become increasingly popular, too, as skiers have been quietly cutting new glades and trails in Smuggler’s Notch, in the drainages of Sugarbush’s Slide Brook Basin, and at Mad River Glen and Killington.
In 2007, at Jay Peak, two men were arrested for cutting 873 trees to make a 60-foot-wide, three-quarter-mile long run down Big Jay—a serious environmental offense.
But in the last two years, Vermonters have pushed the boundaries in a legal way. Miles away from any ticket office, new glades are opening up, thanks to sanctioned work by the three official chapters of the Vermont Backcountry Alliance: the Rochester/Randolph Area Sport Trails Alliance (RASTA), the Northeast Kingdom Backcountry Alliance, and its newest member, the Dutch Hill Association of Skiers and Hikers (DHASH), based in Readsboro, Vt.
In 2015, Vermont became the first state in the nation to allow sanctioned trail cutting by volunteers on U.S. Forest Service land when ski glades were approved in the Green Mountain National Forest near Brandon Gap, just east of Rochester.
On February 18, 2017, the SE Group, which offers strategic planning and consulting, recorded trail data at Brandon Gap. It was a powder day and 171 people carved down a total of 20,000 vertical feet through glades created and maintained by RASTA. That weekend, those skier visits accounted for 17 percent of visits to nearby bars and restaurants, 18 percent of lodging, and 30 percent of the gear, retail and souvenir sales at local shops.
Dutch Hill is being revived as a backcountry site.
Down south, near the Massachusetts border, a group of backcountry enthusiasts have banded together to reincarnate Dutch Hill, a small ski hill off Route 100 in Readsboro that closed in 1985. Last fall, the US Forest Service designated an 87-acre northern section of Dutch Hill for non-motorized winter recreation. Volunteers, calling themselves the Dutch Hill Association of Skiers and Hikers (DHASH), became an official chapter of the Vermont Backcountry Alliance and this winter, they hope to reopen the hill as a backcountry trail system.
The terrain, with a 570-foot vertical drop, will include glades and 12 former ski slopes suitable for intermediate skiing and snowshoeing. Plans even include enlarging the sledding hill that has been a local favorite for decades. The revival marks the beginning of a multi-year trail maintenance project led by the U.S. Forest Service.
In central Vermont, the state’s department of forests is asking Vermonters for feedback on a new management plan for a 26,000-acre area that includes Camel’s Hump State Park. In an effort to curb illegal tree cutting and sustainably manage the forest for recreation, the plan has made room for backcountry glades. Though their location is yet to be determined, the department is soliciting public comments on the plan through Dec. 29, 2017.
In Rochester, RASTA volunteers have polished off the last of the glades in the Brandon Gap area, now home to 20,000 vertical feet of skiable terrain.
And RASTA is already expanding. Recently, they’ve explored adding skiable terrain near Chittenden Brook, just east of Brandon Gap off Route 73, and have brought the proposal to the U.S. Forest Service.
The area is part of the Robinson Integrated Resource Project, a 60,000-acre parcel of land that requires specific management, as directed by the 2006 Green Mountain National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. A decision from the Forest Service is expected in the spring.
The Chittenden area may also become home to the first new hut in the Vermont Huts Association system. This past October, Vermont Huts executive director RJ Thompson made the announcement with a bang, hosting 170 people in a standing-room-only party at Outdoor Gear Exchange in Burlington—the biggest event the local outdoors store has ever seen.
Their first hut, though still permit-pending, is slated be built on Green Mountain National Forest land. With a kitchen and propane heat, it will bunk 10 people year-round. Yestermorrow Design/Build School in Waitsfield is designing and building the hut and, as long as the permitting is approved, it is scheduled to open in the summer of 2018.
Vermont Huts has proposed a second cabin in Sterling Forest, owned by the town of Stowe. The proposal, presented to the town’s select board in early November, details a hut that sleeps between eight and 15 people. It’s near the Catamount Trail, snowmobile trails maintained by Vermont Association of Snow Travelers. It’s also near hiking and mountain biking trails.
Vermont Huts’ website already lists 11 bookable cabins in their network, but all of these huts are currently managed by other organizations. Their mission is to build and manage additional huts that will link the existing ones. “The goal is end-to-end, hut-to-hut adventures,” Thompson says.
Western mountain ranges have renowned networks of backcountry huts, like Colorado’s 10th Mountain Division’s 34 huts and San Juan huts. Quebec’s Chic Chocs are home to multiple cabins, the Adirondack Mountain Club maintains huts in New York, and the non-profit Maine Huts and Trails manages a system of year-round backcountry cabins on 80 miles of former logging trails.
It has long been a dream for Vermont to establish a similar network. Amy Kelsey, the executive director of the Catamount Trail Association, says this idea has come up over and over. “People call us all the time asking how they can ski hut to hut, and I try to cobble something together based on what’s out there right now, but it’s never the answer they really want,” she said.
If the Vermont Huts long-term vision comes through, it could allow skiers to travel in hut-to-hut style for the first time. Last winter renovations were completed at Bryant Camp, in the backwoods just off Bolton Valley Resort’s trails. From there, it’s possible to ski the Catamount Trail all the way to Stowe and the Trapp Family Lodge.
In Stowe, the Stone Hut (known for its mile-long waiting list) is a perfect example of the demand for backcountry accommodations in Vermont. In past years, the reservation system was lottery-based, and the hut would book up long before the season started.
But this year, the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation, which manages the land, broke the reservation process into two phases. During Phase I, which was held from Sept. 5 until Nov. 10, the reservation system was lottery-based. Phase II, new this year, started Nov. 17 and allows reservation on a first-come, first-served basis for any dates still available.
With the existing (albeit rustic) Beaver Meadow cabin and the proposed Sterling Forest Cabin also in Stowe and within a day’s ski, it’s possible to see how a network of trails could begin to form.
As the backcountry movement takes off, resorts are getting involved, too. Most list an uphill policy on their websites, and skinning is usually allowed in some capacity for a small fee. Some mountains have designated sidecountry, like Sugarbush’s Slide Brook Basin, which has a shuttle service at its base and Bolton Valley, which offers shuttles on certain weekends to Nebraska Valley.
DesLauriers grew up skiing at Bolton, the resort his grandfather Roland founded in 1966 and his father Ralph owned and built up until 1997 when he sold it. In April, 2017, the DesLauriers family bought back Bolton and Adam envisions it as a center and resource for backcountry skiing.
Extreme and backcountry skiing was just part of what Adam did back then, often along with his Extreme Team brothers (of Warren Miller and other ski movie fame), Rob and Eric DesLauriers, and Dan and John Egan (brothers who still guide at Sugarbush and Killington, respectively).
The brothers were known for skiing just about any terrain, fast and fluidly, and the sidecountry of Bolton and Sugarbush, were their playgrounds.
Now, DesLauriers is inviting others to play there. “We want to offer professional guiding and instruction, complete rental equipment and easily accessible terrain right from the base of the alpine/Nordic ski area,” he says.
This year, Bolton will host a rental fleet of Dynafit backcountry boots, skis and bindings.
“What we want to do with our backcountry program is teach people about the equipment, about the right apparel, technique, and the rules about the backcountry to stay safe,” says Josh Arneson, Bolton’s resort’s public relations director.
And in Southern Vermont, Magic Mountain has been developing a backcountry program it will debut this season. The mountain has always welcomed and encouraged Alpine Touring. Last year, it expanded its welcome mat to uphillers with the “Hike One, Ride One” program, which offers a token for a free same-day lift ride to anyone who skins to the top of the summit Red Lift.
This year, Magic will take it a step further. In a partnership with Salomon Skis, it will offer a full-service AT equipment demo and rental center featuring the Salomon QST line. There will also be AT snowboard rental equipment featuring Weston split boards.
While the rise of fat skis, light touring bindings and a wider array of backcountry boots has fueled the surge in ski touring, one of the biggest barriers to backcountry skiing has been the high cost of gear. Backcountry skis and bindings cost a pretty penny and rental gear has been largely unavailable.
Magic will also host guided gladed, sidecountry and backcountry tours out of its Learning Center. Uphill Clinics will be offered on January 20th, February 10th and March 10th.
Both Magic and Bolton will host a series of events to introduce the public to backcountry. Magic will host three race series events that will kick off in December. Winter Wild, “an uphill event with a twist,” begins Sunday, Dec. 17. Magic will also bring back the NE Rando Series on Jan. 6. Finally, a the WMAC Dion Snowshoes Series race will take place on Jan. 7, combining athletes’ cumulative times from both events.
Bolton will hold a two-hour Intro to the Backcountry classes on Saturday mornings, a half-day group backcountry ski on Sunday mornings, and guided backcountry lessons whenever requested. Bolton will also bring back its Tuesday night ski-mountaineering, or “skimo,” race series, during which skiers skin uphill and ski downhill.

Pennsylvania viewers of the new Matt Damon flick on natural gas drilling, Promised Land, may notice a different kind of preview at their theater this weekend that's not touting a new romantic comedy or gun-filled melee. A pro-drilling group has launched an ad campaign to refute the film's portrayal of the industry and the environmental impacts associated with drilling.
Pro-drilling group the Marcellus Shale Coalition announced today it is going to engage with the public to disseminate natural gas facts that are counter to the film's depiction by airing 15-second ads in theaters.
In the brief ad, a voice over states: "Many Pennsylvanians have questions about natural gas production. We understand that, so the Marcellus Shale Coalition created an online platform to ensure these questions are answered with straightforward facts. Please visit learnaboutshale.org to get the facts about natural gas development."
About 40 theaters statewide will run the ad, including some in Pittsburgh, according to the MSC. In a press release, the coalition states it's using theaters and social media to "respond to the work of fiction with real facts and responsible conversation around the issue of natural gas development."
" FACT: This film is purely a work of fiction and is not reflective of the work our industry undertakes, all done within an aggressive and effective regulatory framework. Our focus remains on creating even more American jobs, safely producing our abundant, clean-burning, domestic natural gas resources, revitalizing rural communities and our nation’s manufacturing base, and most importantly, doing it in a way that is safe. We live and raise our families in these communities, and have an unmatched commitment to protecting our air, water and environment."
Check out the movie this weekend and let us know what you think. Local showtimes can be found here.

And not a documentary about the game’s interested and tangled history, but a science fiction game. A discount film studio has picked up the rights to Atari’s Missile Command and Centipede, also per Deadline. Also, confirming long-standing rumors, Nintendo said it would look to re-enter the ole Hollywood business.

– Nintendo Player has an awesome long read on the recently-unearthed Happily Ever After, a Snow White-based NES game from the early 1990s. The game itself is a generic, Nintendo Hard affair, but the story behind it is fascinating. Plus, the ROM has been made available for free online!
– From several sites, a retro 8-bit version of Monopoly, featuring Super Mario Bros., now has a sale slug on Amazon.
– Per Gamasutra and several other sites that got the press release, mod support for older Sega games caused them to sell 350,000 copies on Steam since April 28. For the details, click here.
– For James and Mike Mondays, the guys play Doom 64, which Steve remembers somewhat fondly from his childhood! If you didn’t have a high-powered PC back in the day, it was a fairly easy way to play the ole game. Also from that site this week, Mike and Bootsy play Pinball for the NES!
– In 1997, Eurocom released the Midway arcade game War Gods for the N64. Because the system was so starved for games at various points, it was hyped for months in Nintendo Power, but it ultimately was just a mediocre fighting game.
– For a brief history in time, people thought they’d get in shape via vidya games. On May 21, 2008, Nintendo came out with Wii Fit and the Wii balance board. Both the balance board and the Wii are now probably in your closet.
– The year after Wii Fit, Next Level Games dropped a remake of Punch-Out!! for the Wii. While it was well-received, it wasn’t the iconic game that the original was.
I’m a big fan of the James & Mike Monday and Mike & Bootsy videos. The BluRay has a nice best of collection of them along with a few exclusive installments too.

Awesome. I've been looking to do something like that to my own pan. Just gotta pull it.
Re: Bill's 200 20v, rebuild CRlowering HG?
Getting ready to replace the valve guides& seals, then will need to figure out the head gasket. I have heard you can rebuild/reuse the compression lowering head gaskets. Has anyone done this? It seems you could take a standard MLS head gasket disassemble and reassemble around the compression lowering one?
I think you should run standard compression. With a good ignition tune, you should be safe, and the powerband will be better all around.
Still have the original, but this one should work.
Many people here could help with an basic ignition tune that won't detonate. Even if you take a few degrees out of the whole map that would help. You can always repurpose a knock sensor to hook up to a set of headphones with a little amp or directly into the cars head unit via AUX in. Then you can listen yourself. I did this in my 4k. Was so handy to be able to plug it into a laptop and record it during a WOT run.
well, the rebuild of the original head was way to much $ so i have just purchased a head from Max (Landfill) and it will hopefully get the car back on the road. I think i would like to use a stock HG, after i get the engine back together and in the car i will look into what modifications i will need to make to the tune.
Back in the garage after years of waiting..... before running i will need to go into VEMS and make some ignition changes to account for the higher compression ratio (stock vs lowered) I have tuned with megasquirt in the past but this is my first vehicle with the luxury of VEMS, i took a quick look at the software on my little tuning laptop and it looks fantastic. would i need to change it a few degrees across the board? or mostly under load?
I like the heat shield idea, I've built similar, but from experience you're going to want to do something about those edges. I still have scars from my sheet metal heat shields.
Regarding ignition timing, honestly I would get it running before messing with anything. You'll likely only need to make changes under high load, so I would get it up and running with what you know will make it run and then worry about fine tuning. If you leave it on spring pressure at least to begin with you should have zero detonation issues.

Coming right along! Hope to see it around sometime, have you thought about bringing it up for Wolfsgart if it's ready by then?
Yeah, as recommended before, you will be fine. I doubt the timing in <100kpa parts of the tune is even any different from a standard 20v map with just a point of compression difference.

Today we are featuring their stunning wedding reception and walima.
The wedding reception was full of lavish velvety reds, crystals, and a sari wedding cake. Oh my that wedding cake! And Naureen and her family and friends helped with plenty of DIY projects too. The Walima was a vintage chic affair with a blue ombre wedding dress and turquoise/pink theme. Cake pops and cupcakes along with glittery table clothes brought this wedding to a beautiful close.
Naureen has been super awesome to allow us to share their children's coloring book! Having lots of kids at a wedding? Well, give them a coloring book themed around your wedding and let them be artists. Please use this document as a guide and don't copy it (would be weird to have their faces instead of yours!).
From Naureen: When I visited India for my cousin’s wedding and squeezed in time to buy my wedding necessities, I never imagined finding the wedding dress of my dreams. It was a difficult task to find that one, elusive dress that you’ve pictured in your mind. But, the trick is trying a number of outfits and being open to a variety styles. When I wore my red, mermaid cut red lengha, I fell in love with it. I could see myself walking down the aisle in that dress and anticipating my husband’s reaction.
After securing the outfit, the harder part was definitely planning the wedding from a distance. I was (still am!) studying in graduate school in New Jersey, but the wedding events were all in my hometown of Atlanta. Fortunately, my parents, family and friends formed an amazing support system to ensure each and every detail was perfect.
My bridesmaids/friends were amazing, and I wanted to surprise them with something special. On the day of the wedding, I gave them something they could keep and wear for years on end. The vintage brooches were a fun and elegant addition to all of their outfits- the silver and red accents really tied them all in! They all looked absolutely stunning.
From Naureen: Planning wedding events is a tedious task, but it is definitely doable if you keep organized to-do lists and delegate tasks among your family and friends. We created a wedding website, Facebook group, and guest information folders to ensure our guests had access to all the information and resources they need.
It helped to provide a guide on traditional wedding customs for those unfamiliar with Indian traditions, directions to venues, contact information for salons, and the like. If your guests enjoy your wedding, it is a pat on the back for all the hard work that goes into the planning and set up of an event. My husband and I are eternally grateful for the family and friends who helped make our special days one of the most memorable of our lives.
Thanks again to This Modern L<3ve Photography and Zignat Abdisubhan.
We wish you both the very best, insha'allah.

I pinch myself sometimes. The beauty of what I witness happening on a daily basis at Roycemore is so striking. Sometimes it washes over me in such a powerful way, I get emotional because each day, in our little school, I witness such beautiful interactions between teachers and students and student to student, it overwhelms me. I wish such experiences for all young people. While our school is small, there is nothing small about the impact that it has on our students. The opportunities our students have, and the remarkable love and dedication of their teachers is pure and authentic. It struck me even more this weekend as I was looking through the various blogs and facebook pages of our teachers, reading about and seeing photos and videos of the powerful learning that is taking place. Roycemore is fortunate to have the opportunity to collaborate with talented faculty, parents, grandparents, alumni, parents of alumni, Northwestern University and companies like Adobe Corporation who understand the importance of our mission.
The single greatest way we can change the world is through education. Day by day, hour by hour at Roycemore, we are changing lives, who in turn will change our world for the better.
Our new collaboration with Adobe Corporation that has brought Design Thinking into our curriculum, provided access to the Creative Cloud suite for our students, initiated virtual internships with Adobe designers, and will create a unique January Short Term (JST) experience for one of our high school students.
Students school-wide are employing the Design Thinking problem-solving process to projects in English, the Humanities and P3 to name a few.
A variety of field experiences for our students. Just this year alone trips have included the overnight to Indiana Dunes National Park for our middle school students, trips to the Chicago Botanic Garden, architectural boat tours in the city, Chicago History Museum, Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, Evanston Water & Sewage Treatment plant, and The Grove Pumpkin Patch!
Early Childhood students are enjoying a rich experience that includes time in the library, fostering a life-long love of learning, art, music, PE, and daily STEAM activities such as creating colorful bubbles in a pumpkin shell!
3rd and 4th Graders are using math, science and home economics to harvest, pumpkins, create a pumpkin puree, then bake a sheet cake to be divided amongst them. Many math activities were included, and the reward was sweet!
The new Arc-en-Ciel class in the middle school provides immersive French and Art for our 5th and 6th graders.
Upper School students are designing their January Short Term projects and are hard at work creating Carnival, a fun and not so spooky day for the lower and middle school students. It is a wonderful experience for the upper schoolers to create, and the younger students are very excited. If you would like to come by everything starts around 11:30 on Friday.
Our Faculty are connecting in new and more profound ways during their dedicated Professional Development time each week. More partnerships across subjects are creating deeper experiences for our students!
And we are delighted that Niche.com has recognized our efforts with a new ranking as the number 5 K-12 school in Illinois and the #4 most diverse private school in Illinois.
We have only one thing missing though: more families need to know about Roycemore. We will never be a big school. We are intentionally small to provide the very special learning environment that we have. But being a little bit bigger will allow us to enhance our program and strengthen our school. In spite of being over one hundred years old, there are many families whose children would benefit from being at our school that simply don’t know about us. Likewise, because we are over one hundred years old, some people in our community have outdated impressions of what Roycemore is all about.
If you have a great experience to share, write a review online. Below are a couple of reviews shared in the last couple of months– one from an alum, and one from a parent.
I know how incredible the experiences are that our children receive here every day– many of you have told me how much your children have changed for the better since coming to Roycemore. As a small school, with a budget to match, we cannot afford to compete head-to-head against larger schools with big marketing budgets, or for-profit schools that are willing to out-spend us to promote their programs with the focus of earning more income in the long run for their owners. Roycemore is a not-for-profit school that focuses its dollars where it counts the most– on the student experience. Our long-standing commitment to economic diversity in our student population results in a sense of community and inclusivity that is palpable, and a unique culture that combines Griffin pride with Midwestern humility.
Thank you for helping to spread the word about Roycemore to more potential students.
Thank you for doing your part to change the world!

I've always questioned whether it is a good idea to do Valentine's Day with our pets.
I currently celebrated holidays and created cards featuring the cats, after all, they (Maus, Jake & Moshe Moshi) are kind of cute, but for Valentine's Day, it has always felt wrong. I could make a justification for the winter holidays, Halloween costuming, 4th of July and Veteran's Day (since I am one), and even Thanksgiving since I am so thankful for them. Valentine's Day, however, is a bit different. It is a day dedicated to love; romantic love, not fraternal affection. Passing out cards in grade school, total indoctrination for heterosexual relationships (no boy would openly give another boy a "Be Mine" card if it were just about being friends).
Remember the movie "The Truth About Cats & Dogs"? Radio Vet adviser Dr. Abby Barnes ( played by Janeane Garofalo) gives a reminder to her audience after talking with a guy on the phone who asked about a rash he developed after being tongue-bathed by his cat. Dr. Abby: "We can love our pets, we just can't LOVE our pets."

President Barack Obama rarely makes the short trip to Capitol Hill from the White House, but next week his motorcade will be tying up traffic on Pennsylvania Avenue as he tries to convince Congress to come to a deficit deal.
Obama will visit Senate Democrats on Tuesday, and meet Republicans in the House of Representatives on Wednesday. On Thursday, he will make two separate trips to the Hill: first to meet Senate Republicans, then later to meet House Democrats.
Other than for his annual State of the Union address, or ceremonial events such as the recent dedication of a statue to civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks, Obama seldom visits lawmakers on the Hill. But the president is looking for a deal to end two years of fighting over the deficit, and in recent days has shown a new interest in reaching out to rank-and-file lawmakers about his spending and tax reform proposals.
RELATED: Will Obama's Grand Gesture Lead to a Grand Bargain?
"I think you could view this as an opportunity for the president to engage (in) a new line of communication and an open and constructive dialogue that could contribute to a solution," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters. "I think it will be a constructive opportunity for dialogue."
Obama had focused on taking his message on the deficit directly to Americans through campaign-like events. But this week, he had dinner with a dozen Republican senators, and lunch with Paul Ryan, the Republican chairman of the House Budget Committee and the party's 2012 vice presidential nominee. Obama has made phone calls to other lawmakers.
The new "schmooze offensive" comes after a bitter fight with congressional leaders over averting the so-called "fiscal cliff" of broad tax increases, and a more recent failure to come to a deal to avoid $85 billion in automatic spending cuts that kicked in on March 1.
There is now a brief pause in dire financial deadlines. The government's authority to borrow new money runs out on May 19, but the Treasury Department is expected to take steps to push the deadline to raise the "debt ceiling" to late July or early August.
Lawmakers have said they have four to six months to come to a major deal on cutting spending on social programs and overhauling the tax code to get rid of loopholes.
Obama is pushing for higher taxes on some Americans and wants the revenues earmarked for deficit reduction, while Republicans want to lower tax rates across the board.
Obama's visits will come during a week that House Republicans and Senate Democrats release competing budget blueprints for fiscal 2014. Obama's budget won't come until at least April 8, Defense Department officials have said.
On Friday, Earnest declined to say when the budget would be released, other than to say it will be in the "weeks ahead."

Best Buy is recalling 5,100 replacement MacBook Pro batteries after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission revealed 13 separate incidents in which the batteries caught fire. At least one of the fires resulted in a serious burn to a customer’s leg, we’re told.
The ATG lithium-ion batteries in question were sold from September 2008 through June 2012 and include both black and white varieties. The recall affects batteries sold online as well as those shipped to customers through the company’s Geek Squad service.
The retailer is in the process of contacting customers to inform them of the recall and offer a replacement battery or a Best Buy gift card instead. Retail value for the batteries is pegged around $50.
In the event that you’d rather not wait to check the status of your replacement, you can do so on your own simply by looking at the model number. Faulty black batteries will read MC-MBOOK13B while white variants will have MC-BOOK13W in the model number. The ATG logo should be present on both variants.
That’s valuable information as Best Buy is just one of many retailers that may have sold the batteries although as of writing, none others have come forward with a recall to the best of our knowledge. As such, if you purchased a replacement battery for your MacBook Pro at any point during the above listed dates, it would be wise to check the model number of the battery you purchased.

Political Candidates Being Called "Mean Girls"
Are they really mean girls? New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd has ignitied a firestorm by calling Sarah Palin and other stars of the GOP "Republican Mean Girls."
Dowd targets a group that includes candidates Meg Whitman of California, Linda McMahon of Connecticut, and Christine O'Donnell of Delaware. She doesn't pull any punches, writing that these women are "grown-up versions of those teenage tormentors who would steal your boyfriend, spray-paint your locker and, just for good measure, spread rumors that you were pregnant."
The cat fights continued over the weekend with John McCain's daughter Megan also laying into Christine O'Donnell, who is running for the U.S. Senate.
Megan McCain said, "Christine O'Donnell is making a mockery of running for public office. She has no real history, no real success in any kind of business. She's seen as a nut job."
Other republicans went on the counter-attack. Emily Miller, former Press Secretary to Tom Delay said on Fox News, "Megan McCain, who's a self-proclaimed Republican spokesperson which none of us elected and the only thing she's got going for her is a trust fund and her dad."
But it wasn't just the girls getting nasty. Rand Paul, the republican candidate for the U.S.Senate from Kentucky, refused to shake Democrat Jack Conway's hand at the end of their heated debate Sunday night.
Their bad blood comes from a recent attack ad that highlighted Rand Paul's membership in a secret society during his college days.
The ad states, "Why was Rand Paul a member of a secret society that called the Holy Bible a hoax?"
Paul said to his opponent, "You just out and out lied because you have nothing to stand on. Run a race as a man!"

"The duo has quietly racked up a devoted following for their deft ability to incorporate the best of nature into their projects. In "Outside In," this style is on full display in glossy photographs of the couple's homes beside conceptual sketches by Tichenor and thoughtful essays on the design elements at the core of their practice."
Deeply fluent in the Mediterranean and American vernaculars and the modern forms of the California Tradition, Tichenor & Thorp design exceptional properties that integrate large-scale residences and luxurious gardens and landscapes into a singular, unified vision: house and landscape imagined as one complete expression for a given site and particular client. The duo traverses the spectrum of periods and styles to craft beautifully realized, finely choreographed, highly appropriate living environments that resonate with individuality and precedent. Featured projects include a Spanish-inflected courtyard house and garden in Las Palmas that spectacularly frames the palm trees and the mountains; a Bel Air estate and grounds tinged with English and French influences; a Newport Beach hilltop hideaway that evokes a Portuguese quinta; a Provençal bastide and surrounding gardens transplanted to the côte sud that is Rancho Santa Fe; a Pasadena retreat inflected with John Soane–inspired details; a renovated Harwell Hamilton Harris house in Holmby Hills with a cruciform plan and corresponding gardens of individual character; two luxe contemporary Manhattan apartments; and a modern mountain getaway at the foot of the Tetons in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Illustrated with specially commissioned photographs by Roger Davies and Brian Tichenor’s own masterly watercolors, drawings, and plans, and with a foreword by Pilar Viladas, architecture and design editor at Town & Country, Outside In shares “Hollywood’s best-kept secret” with the world.
"In all their projects, Brian Tichenor and Raun Thorp choreograph a sublime pas de deux between architecture and landscape—each discipline enriching and ennobling the other. Their book is a master class in harnessing the wonders of the so-called indoor/outdoor lifestyle."
"Outside In wonderfully documents how the architecture, interiors and landscape design of Tichenor & Thorp combine a cosmopolitan world view with a deep respect and love for the Californian tradition. The resulting spaces are as seductive as they are sophisticated."
Raun Thorp, a native Californian, worked with Peter and Allison Smithson in London and several noted Los Angeles–area firms, including Frank Gehry and Moore Ruble Yudell before co-founding Tichenor & Thorp. In addition to her multifaceted design work on the firm’s architecture projects and her spearheading of its interiors division, Thorp oversees the firm’s business development and operations. A Fellow of the Garden Conservancy, Thorp is also a member of the Society of Architectural Historians and the Los Angeles Conservancy, as well as Las Doñas at UCLA. She served for many years on the South Carthay Historic Preservation Board, and is currently on the board of Big Sunday, a national non-profit. Her extensive educational background includes a bachelor’s degree from Bryn Mawr College and a master’s degree in architecture from UCLA.
Before co-founding Tichenor & Thorp, M. Brian Tichenor, also a California native, worked as a project designer and manager for Moore Ruble Yudell and subsequently, in collaboration with landscape designer Nancy Goslee Power, completed more than a hundred gardens. Currently on the faculty of USC’s Graduate School of Architecture, he is actively involved with the Los Angeles Conservancy, the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, the Huntington Library and Gardens, the Living Desert Museum, the Society of Architectural Historians, and the Cultural Landscape Foundation. Also a fine artist, he has shown his abstract canvases at Sears Peyton Gallery. His architectural renderings have been widely published and exhibited at the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York and Max Protech Gallery, among other venues. He holds a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from UC Santa Barbara and a master’s degree in architecture from UCLA.
Judith Nasatir, executive editor of New York Spaces magazine, is the author or co-author of Carrier and Company: Positively Chic Interiors; Nancy Braithwaite’s Simplicity; Artfully Modern: The Interiors of Richard Mishaan; Living Traditions: Interiors by Matthew Patrick Smyth; Jeffrey Bilhuber’s Defining Luxury: The Qualities of Life at Home and The Way Home: Reflections on American Beauty; Rooms to Remember: The Classic Interiors of Suzanne Tucker; and Jamie Drake: New American Glamour. She has written for the New York Times “T” Magazine, 1stdibs, House & Garden, Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Metropolitan Home, Town & Country, and Veranda, among other publications.
Pilar Viladas is a preeminent architecture and interior design writer and editor. Formerly the architecture editor at House & Garden, a contributing editor at Architectural Digest, and design editor at the New York Times Magazine, she is now the architecture and design editor at Town & Country.
Roger Davies is an English-born interiors architecture and interiors photographer now based in Los Angeles.

This talk is a broad overview of the services that App Centre offers and how they can create a DevOps pipeline for your mobile apps. We’ll look at using App Centre to set up automated builds of your app, run automated UI tests on real devices in the cloud then distribute to users, either beta testers or via the Google or Apple app stores. Once your app has been deployed App Centre can provide analytics and crash reports, so we’ll cover how easy it is to add support for this to your app and analyse the results. Next, you will look at how App Centre can send push notifications to provide targeted messages to your users. You’ll then look at all the supported platforms – although App Centre is from Microsoft it is not tied purely to Xamarin but works with native mobile apps as well as React Native.
The session will finish up by looking at the App Centre API and show how App Centre was built to be API first meaning everything you can do from the web app, you can also do from the command line or REST API, including showing how to integrate with other CI tools like Jenkins.
By the end of this talk you will understand the advantages of using App Centre as a part of your mobile strategy, regardless of what technology you use.

Discussion in 'Rugby League Forum' started by eagle66, Sep 16, 2018.
Just filling in time until March 2019, came across an article of the Major Semi in 1972. My first semi that I had gone to as an 11 year old.
Any wonder we won the premiership.
Nice try by Bozo at about the 2:22 min mark!
Look how deep the attacking team is standing at the play the ball! As a result when the defence rushes up there are gaps opening up you can run through sideways and not just directly in front like today. Now in 2018 the game is so one-dimensional with the defence in one flat line across the field.
I know Bellamy and co try to pass sideways from the dummy half and just take the 10m, but if an attacking team stood deep again you wonder if it would make gaps just like in this 1972 game.
I started watching footy on TV from 1966. I was only 5 and it just seemed normal at the time. The thing I miss is having progress scores of the other games during the game you watch. Back then 2nd half of the games were live on a couple of the seasons.
How about bozo sprinting 30 metres across field to target the winger, while everybody else just ambles around.
I almost got a major semi watching the major semi.
From the newspaper clipping - I want to go on the Ansett Travel footy tour of the world.
I could be wrong, but wasn't it the 5m rule back then ? Teams stood deep to get the room to move, I think they changed the rule to 10m for that very reason ( to open up the the field for attack) all except for the storm of course they can stand where the feck they want. It worked for a while though until the wrestling and slowing down the play the ball.
Can anyone enlighten me on what was Ian Martin's nickname?
I was there! I was 14.
I went to the GF.
Just look at the crowd for a semi final. Today empty seats. What a disgrace the current admin and state of the game is in.
That belongs in the ‘Share Factor’ folder.
