The Brady Bunch supports a woman's right to be raped

Sick.

The proper response to attempted rape is lethal force. "Murder" is killing someone who is not trying to kill or injure you!

The Brady Bunch should be charged as an accessory to the crime whenever someone is hurt or killed by a criminal while they were disarmed.

State Senator Chapin Rose Representing the 51st District of Illinois May 28, 2013 Dear Friends As of 10:00 PM, Tuesday 5/28… Senator Forby’s/ Rep. Phelps’ Senate Bill 2193 was defeated in the Senate Executive Committee by a vote of 6-8. Senator James Clayborne sided with the 5 Republican members of the committee. Later this afternoon, the committee adopted an amendment to Senator Raoul’s HB 183, with a vote of 8-4-1. The Republican members of the Executive Committee voted “no” or “present” on the Raoul version of concealed-carry legislation. As a reminder the Forby/Phelps bill included preemption and was a “shall” issue concealed-carry version. Raoul’s bill is written for “may” issue. We are clearly at a stalemate at this point, I will likely send out another update tomorrow. I will remain strong and hope to vote on a "shall" issue bill that allows all Illinoisans the same concealed-carry rights. Sincerely, Chapin Rose State Senator 510 S. Staley, Suite D Champaign, IL 61822

Ill-Annoys CCW update

Chicago Demonrats at their worst:

URGENT ALERT - YOUR IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED SENATE PRESIDENT CULLERTON AND SENATOR KOTOWSKI SCHEMING TO DERAIL CONCEALED CARRY Senate gun grabbers John Cullerton, Dan Kotowski and Kwame Raoul were busy this holiday weekend constructing a plan to derail the passage of concealed carry legislation. As most of you know, House Speaker Madigan and Rep. Phelps last week hammered out a concealed carry bill (SB2193) that passed the House with 85 votes. Although the bill was not 100% of what law-abiding Illinois gun owners were hoping for, SB2193 serves as a good baseline for the institution of state-wide personal protection measures. As expected, anti-gun extremists in the Illinois Senate went to work immediately with a plan to shut down SB2193 when it came over from the House. Based on what the ISRA has learned, Cullerton-Kotowski-Raoul have come up with a bill of their own that would have so many exemptions that concealed carry permits would be impossible to get. Furthermore, there are reportedly so many restrictions in their proposal that, even if you were fortunate enough to be granted a carry permit, there would be very few areas where you would be able to carry legally. Of course, the places where concealed carry would be the most necessary are exempted in the Cullerton-Kotowski-Raoul "no carry" plan. One thing is for certain, Senate President John Cullerton has refused to allow Sen. Forby to call SB2193 for a vote in the Senate - effectively killing the bill. We are not 100% sure as of yet what the Cullerton-Kotowski-Raoul bill number will be. We think it will come as an amendment to HB0183. HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO STOP CULLERTON FROM HIJACKING CONCEALED CARRY: 1. Immediately call your Illinois Senator and politely tell the person on the phone that you are a law-abiding Illinois gun owner and that you oppose Senate President Cullerton's attempts to hijack concealed carry. Politely tell the person that you expect the Senator to vote against any concealed carry proposal Cullerton tries to advance. If you do not know who your Illinois Senator is, click this link: Illinois State Board of Elections 2. Please pass this alert on to your family and friends, ask them to make calls as well. 3. Please post this alert to any and all Internet bulletin boards or blogs to which you belong. REMEMBER: The fate of concealed carry is in your hands!

Good read

And it's free. Caliphate by Tom Kratman

Available for download in several reader formats, or just as an RTF file.

From the Baen site:

"Caliphate is Mark Steyn's America Alone with body count."—John Ringo

"Slavery is a part of Islam . . . Slavery is part of jihad, and jihad will remain as long there is Islam." —Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan, author of the religious textbook At-Tawhid ("Monotheism") and senior Saudi cleric.
Demography is destiny. In the 22nd century European deathbed demographics have turned the continent over to the more fertile Moslems. Atheism in Europe has been exterminated. Homosexuals are hanged, stoned or crucified. Such Christians as remain are relegated to dhimmitude, a form of second class citizenship. They are denied arms, denied civil rights, denied a voice, and specially taxed via the Koranic yizya. Their sons are taken as conscripted soldiers while their daughters are subject to the depredations of the continent's new masters.
In that world, Petra, a German girl sold into prostitution as a slave at the age of nine to pay her family's yizya, dreams of escape. Unlike most girls of the day, Petra can read. And in her only real possession, her grandmother's diary, a diary detailing the fall of European civilization, Petra has learned of a magic place across the sea: America.
But it will take more than magic to free Petra and Europe from their bonds; it will take guns, superior technology, and a reborn spirit of freedom.

About the author

In 1974, at age seventeen, Tom Kratman became a political refugee and defector from the PRM (People's Republic of Massachusetts) by virtue of joining the Regular Army. He stayed a Regular Army infantryman most of his adult life, returning to Massachusetts as an unofficial dissident while attending Boston College after his first hitch. Back in the Army, he managed to do just about everything there was to do, at one time or another. After the Gulf War, and with the bottom dropping completely out of the anti-communism market, Tom decided to become a lawyer. Every now and again, when the frustrations of legal life and having to deal with other lawyers got to be too much, Tom would rejoin the Army (or a somewhat similar group, say) for fun and frolic in other climes. His family, muttering darkly, put up with this for years. He no longer practices law, instead writing full time for Baen. His novels for Baen include A State of Disobedience, A Desert Called Peace and its sequel Carnifex, as well as two collaborations with John Ringo, Watch on the Rhine and Yellow Eyes.

A NEW STAR OF MILITARY SCIENCE FICTION

Warp speed!

How NASA might build its very first warp drive

A few months ago, physicist Harold White stunned the aeronautics world when he announced that he and his team at NASA had begun work on the development of a faster-than-light warp drive. His proposed design, an ingenious re-imagining of an Alcubierre Drive, may eventually result in an engine that can transport a spacecraft to the nearest star in a matter of weeks — and all without violating Einstein's law of relativity. We contacted White at NASA and asked him to explain how this real life warp drive could actually work. 

The original Alcubierre warp drive required the equivalent of a Jupiter mass in energy - that old e=mc^2 factor - and was considered forever out of reach. Dr. White has done some analysis that reduces the energy requirement to just 1,600 pounds. His NASA paper is here (pdf).

Lab experiments are ongoing.

Teach the Constitution in Ill-Annoys and...

Warning lands Batavia teacher in hot water

 A Batavia High School teacher's fans are rallying to support him as he faces possible discipline for advising students of their Constitutional rights before taking a school survey on their behavior.

They've been collecting signatures on an online petition, passing the word on Facebook, sending letters to the school board, and planning to speak at Tuesday's school board meeting.

Students and parents have praised his ability to interest reluctant students in history and current affairs.

But John Dryden said he's not the point. He wants people to focus on the issue he raised: Whether school officials considered that students could incriminate themselves with their answers to the survey that included questions about drug and alcohol use.

Dryden, a social studies teacher, told some of his students April 18 that they had a 5th Amendment right to not incriminate themselves by answering questions on the survey, which had each student's name printed on it.

 Damn right they have the right to know! Just because a kid steps through the schoolhouse door, he or she does NOT become property and lose basic human rights.

What does this good citizen get for his trouble?

Dryden faces having a "letter of remedy" placed in his employment file. He said this week he is negotiating the matter with district authorities.

Only a school board can issue a letter of remedy, which informs teachers their conduct was improper and could have consequences up to dismissal, according to state law.

Today, you definitely take your career in your hands by speaking the truth - especially in school.

WAVE! We are idiots!

Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort Creating a State of Peace

"Special thanks to The Joyce Foundation"

These numbskulls think signs will prevent violence. The examples of every school shooting since the federal law prohibiting guns on school property was enacted does not seem to make them think.

They also want you to pass out cards telling businesses to prohibit effective self-defense:

Be a SAFE WISCONSIN Business
- Post a Sign to Keep Guns Out -
A new state law will force you to allow weapons unless you post a sign. But the people of our state do not want guns in stores, restaurants or any other public place.
I agree, and I’m asking you to support Wisconsin values
and our safety by putting up signs prohibiting guns.
►By a huge 3 to 1 margin, state residents say they will feel
less safe, not safer, in public places that allow guns.
►Guns in public places put us all at risk. Workers at businesses that allow guns are 5 to 7 times more likely to be murdered.
►Nationwide, 80% of businesses prohibit guns on the premises.
Thousands of Wisconsin residents have signed a pledge to support businesses that protect our safety by keeping guns out.
As soon as you have posted a sign, contact WAVE.
They’ll let every person who signed the pledge know that you
are a SAFE WISCONSIN business.
We know you value our business.
Let us know you value our safety.
WAVE Educational Fund / 414.351.9283 / Wave@WaveEdFund.org

Let's count the lies:

First, the people of Wisconsin certainly do want guns around - or we wouldn't have overwhelmingly supported Governor Walker in the last leftie-liberal recall election. There wouldn't be over a quarter-million Wisconsinites now possessing a CCW permit, and countless others open-carrying every day.

3 to 1 margin? Perhaps in parts of Milwaukee and Madison!

Inanimate objects put no one at risk at any time. Want to put people at risk? Prohibit fire extinguishers in public places because someone might, someday, abuse one or use one to injure someone else. Let's see some objective evidence of that 5 to 7 times number. Can't show us a link to someone other than a Joyce Foundation mouthpiece? Thought so!

80% of businesses in Chicago, New York City, or San Fransisco, perhaps. I have seen only three places I might want to visit around here that post. The Beloit NAPA, the Beloit Library, and Basics in Janesville. Everywhere else either is happy to see my carrying openly or has ignored me - and when I carry concealed, how does anyone know I have an evil weapon?

I will believe that "thousands" have signed their petitions - after all, these idiots did get a recall election of Governor Walker organized - with lots of out-of-state money and illegal petition signers. Having a liberal Madison judge invalidate our Voter ID law didn't help them. Record turnouts for the right people in most areas.

Personally, I will stick my head in a place that posts and tell anyone within earshot why I cannot come in - and if they want my business, they will lose the stupid sign.

You can rest assured, gun free business, that the bad guys will ignore your sign, if they even bother to read it. They might chuckle as they pull their gun to rob you, though.

Letter to the Editor

Stateline news again. Some woman from East Troy likes universal background checks and believes that 90% of Americans support her view.

So:

People just can't seem to understand that firearms are not subject to regulation in the United States. The Second Amendment is quite clear:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

A "well regulated Militia" is all able-bodied Americans trained in the use of weapons. It has nothing to do with the National Guard.

"The security of a free State" means protecting the inherent rights of the people of the United States from tyranny, foreign or domestic.

"The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" is pretty self-explanatory. "Infringed" means putting any obstacle at all between a law-abiding American and access to weapons common to the infantryman of the day.

Our country has a long history of infringing on American's right to keep and bear arms, starting with the 1934 National Firearms Act, which would have been found un-Constitutional in the Supreme Court but for the fact that a government lawyer only told part of the truth when testifying about a "prohibited" weapon.

"Universal background checks" will be worse than useless without universal registration - and history teaches us that gun registration inevitably results in confiscation and all too often in genocide.

By the way - that "90%" is from a dubious poll likely conducted by one of the many gun-hating groups out there. I know of no one who supports more gun control.

Responsibility

When you are the leader, you are responsible for the actions of those under you, whether or not they act at your direct orders or on their own initiative while on the job. This is a basic law of organizations.

So - we have a President who claims that everything that happens is news to him, he has no responsibility for any of the actions of those he oversees.

No. That's not how it works, Barry. You are responsible for the acts of those IRS agents - you should be leading the investigation and kicking butts if you truly did not know what was happening.

The Department of Justice is under your control, too. Your man Holder is responsible for the acts of those under him, and you are responsible for his actions - so you are responsible for illegal wiretaps and gun-running to Mexican gangs as well.

Instead of loudly proclaiming your ignorance and incompetence, why not try leading for a little while?

Letter from Jugears

Just received this from the White House. I don't recall sending anything to him lately - gave up the futile effort to get him to see reality a long time ago.

I'll snark on this in line.

Dear Chuck: Thank you for taking the time to write.  I have heard from many Americans regarding firearms policy and gun violence in our Nation, and I appreciate your perspective.  From Aurora to Newtown to the streets of Chicago, we have seen the devastating effects gun violence has on our American family.  I join countless others in grieving for all those whose lives have been taken too soon by gun violence. +++++++++++ Okay - you keep using "gun violence" and ignoring the fact that there are evil human beings operating that gun... +++++++++++ Like the majority of Americans, I believe the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms.  In this country, we have a strong tradition of gun ownership that has been handed down from generation to generation.  Hunting and sport shooting are part of our national heritage.  Yet, even as we acknowledge that almost all gun owners in America are responsible, when we look at the devastation caused by gun violence—whether in high-profile tragedies or the daily heartbreak that plagues our cities—we must ask ourselves whether we are doing enough. +++++++++++ Keep telling us that - in a few million years we might start to believe that YOU believe it! +++++++++++ While reducing gun violence is a complicated challenge, protecting our children from harm should not be a divisive one.  Most gun owners agree that we can respect the Second Amendment while keeping an irresponsible, law-breaking few from inflicting harm on a massive scale.  Most also agree that if we took commonsense steps to curtail gun violence, there would be fewer atrocities like the one that occurred in Newtown.  We will not be able to stop every violent act, but if there is even one thing we can do to reduce gun violence—if even one life can be saved—then we have an obligation to try. +++++++++++ Ah - the old "if only one life is saved" argument for creating a socialist  Utopia. You can't prevent ANY violent act without a fully integrated pre-crime police state. Give up. +++++++++++ That is why I asked Vice President Joe Biden to identify concrete steps we can take to keep our children safe, help prevent mass shootings, and reduce the broader epidemic of gun violence in this country.  He met with over 200 groups representing a broad cross-section of Americans and heard their best ideas.  I have put forward a specific set of proposals based off of his efforts, and in the days ahead, I intend to use whatever weight this office holds to make them a reality. +++++++++++ You gave Biden that job to keep him from tripping over his dick so often in public. He met with 200 anti-gun groups [ preaching to the choir. +++++++++++ My plan gives law enforcement, schools, mental health professionals, and the public health community some of the tools they need to help reduce gun violence.  These tools include strengthening the background check system, helping schools hire more resource officers and counselors and develop emergency preparedness plans, and ensuring mental health professionals know their options for reporting threats of violence.  And I directed the Centers for Disease Control to study the best ways to reduce gun violence—because it is critical that we understand the science behind this public health crisis.  From improving mental health services to looking more closely at a culture that too often glorifies violence, we must leave no stone unturned when working to keep Americans safe. +++++++++++ "Tools" like intrusive infringements on our remaining Constitutional rights to face our accusers and have property and freedom taken away by correct application or legal laws. It's politicians from your side of the fence that destroyed the mental health infrastructure we had un until the 1960's. Isn't there a law passed by Congress prohibiting the CDC from wasting more money on gun control justification? +++++++++++ As important as these steps are, they are not a substitute for action from Congress.  To make a real and lasting difference, members of Congress must also act.  As part of my comprehensive plan, I have called on them to pass some specific proposals right away.  First, it is time to require a universal background check for anyone trying to buy a gun.  Second, Congress should renew the 10-round limit on magazines and reinstate and strengthen the assault weapons ban.  We should get tougher on those who buy guns with the purpose of selling them to criminals, and we should impose serious punishments on anyone who helps them do this. +++++++++++ Yeah - let's do what was proven to be useless again, only HARDER! Let's get that Nazi-style gun registry all set up and running so you or one of your successors can disarm all the law-abiding in short order when it comes time for America's turn at building our own versions of Dachau. +++++++++++ These are reasonable, commonsense measures that have the support of the majority of the American people.  But change will not come unless the American people demand it from their lawmakers.  Now is the time to do the right thing for our children, our communities, and the country we love.  We owe the victims of heartbreaking national tragedies and the countless unheralded tragedies each year nothing less than our best effort—to seek consensus in order to save lives and ensure a brighter future for our children. +++++++++++ Last time I looked, the majority of Americans were against all of your proposals and buying guns and whatever ammo the DHS has left on the shelves at an amazing rate. What we owe the victims of violence is to make sure the survivors are free to keep and bear arms in defense of their families.  That change you keep wanting is coming - and you won't like it much. +++++++++++ Thank you, again, for writing.  I encourage you to visit www.WhiteHouse.gov/NowIsTheTime to learn more about my Administration’s approach. Sincerely, Barack Obama

Letter to the editor

The Stateline News today provides a response to my recent letter.

A Lindsy Schnell of Beloit completely misinterpreted my letter, saying I am "afraid" of what life without fossil fuels will be.

Damn right I am "afraid". Our standard of living would plummet, millions would die of starvation or lack of medical care.

So, here's my reply:

Here we ga again.

Lindsy Schnell misses the point.

First "climate change", as peddled by the scaremongers, does not exist, and there's precious little Man can do to stop it. Our climate is driven by the Sun's output, and I know of no way to alter that, unless we spend trillions to build an orbital sun shade for the whole planet. This has actually been discussed, believe it or not.

A little thought will show that being forced by government to stop using fossil fuels will kill millions, and reduce the standard of living of the survivors. This is common sense when you realize that everything we eat is produced with the help of oil-burning machines. Shut down the factory farms and see how many big cities can survive on backyard gardens.

The market will drive new energy sources much more efficiently than government will - as witness how much our current administration has squandered on "green" energy failures.

Why is there a disconnect with human activity and nature? We didn't drop out of the sky like alien invaders and lay waste to the planet. We belong here as much as a spotted owl.

And, in case you didn't notice, our air and water are a lot cleaner then even back in the 1960's, due to regulation and the efforts of private industry. The government mandated pollution reductions, and the market not only exceeded their demands, they gave us 40 MPG cars in the process.

Chuck Kuecker

++++++++++++

Since we are on the subject of fossil fuels - anyone else notice just how many things are now made of plastic that used to be steel or other metals? I noticed that the dumpsters behind my employer's plant are one piece molded plastic now - a few hundred pounds of fossil oil molded into a bin on wheels.

If we are running out of oil like the scaremongers all are screaming, how is this economical?

 

Truth in reporting

CNN isn't known as the Communist News Network for nothing, if not "pravda"...



Why does anyone still believe what they see on TV?

Letter to the Editor

Beloit Daily News, again:

We've heard for years that we have to do "something" about gun violence and the easy availability of guns. How gun crime is increasing. We have to ACT!

That we need "universal background checks" and have to close the "gun show loophole" even  though only 1% of weapons used in crime were obtained at a gun show and less than 15% were legally purchased.

That we have to ban scary "assault rifles" and "large capacity ammunition feeding devices", when under 2% of crimes involved a rifle of any kind.

Well, the truth hurts - the US Department of Justice just released a report that shows "gun violence" is down by two-thirds since 1993 - at the same time Americans have greatly increased the number of privately owned weapons, and all but one state now have some sort of concealed carry law.

A PDF of the report can be found here: http://bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/fv9311.pdf

Now, can we please not hear any more about how we need to add even more useless laws to the 20,000-odd gun restrictions now on the books - every one of them in violation of our Second Amendment?

Special Report

In 2011, a total of 478,400 fatal and nonfatal violent
crimes were committed with a firearm (table 1).

Homicides made up about 2% of all firearm-related
crimes. There were 11,101 firearm homicides in 2011,
down by 39% from a high of 18,253 in 1993 (figure 1).
The majority of the decline in firearm-related homicides
occurred between 1993 and 1998. Since 1999, the number of
firearm homicides increased from 10,828 to 12,791 in 2006
before declining to 11,101 in 2011.

Nonfatal firearm-related violent victimizations against
persons age 12 or older declined 70%, from 1.5 million
in 1993 to 456,500 in 2004 (figure 2). The number then
fluctuated between about 400,000 to 600,000 through 2011.1
While the number of firearm crimes declined over time, the
percentage of all violence that involved a firearm did not
change substantively, fluctuating between 6% and 9% over
the same period. In 1993, 9% of all violence was committed
with a firearm, compared to 8% in 2011. 

How about that "gun show loophole"?

In 2004, among state prison inmates who possessed a gun
at the time of offense, less than 2% bought their firearm at
a flea market or gun show and 40% obtained their firearm
from an illegal source.

 There you have it - proof positive that we are right and the loony Left is dead wrong.

LA Times article

Gun crime has plunged, but Americans think it's up, says study

Gun crime has plunged in the United States since its peak in the middle of the 1990s, including gun killings, assaults, robberies and other crimes, two new studies of government data show.

Yet few Americans are aware of the dramatic drop, and more than half believe gun crime has risen, according to a newly released survey by the Pew Research Center.

In less than two decades, the gun murder rate has been nearly cut in half. Other gun crimes fell even more sharply, paralleling a broader drop in violent crimes committed with or without guns. Violent crime dropped steeply during the 1990s and has fallen less dramatically since the turn of the millennium.

The number of gun killings dropped 39% between 1993 and 2011, the Bureau of Justice Statistics reported in a separate report released Tuesday. Gun crimes that weren’t fatal fell by 69%. However, guns still remain the most common murder weapon in the United States, the report noted. Between 1993 and 2011, more than two out of three murders in the U.S. were carried out with guns, the Bureau of Justice Statistics found.

So, they report the truth - but subtly warp their language to keep the guns as evil ball rolling and make sure you still know that GUNS are the reason for most murders - not the murderers who use them.

If you keep pushing the rare school shooting into 24/7 coverage, and ignore the real statistics, what are Americans who have only mass media as their source supposed to believe?

I can't wait for the Koch brothers to buy them out!

How about it, America?

The future is here

"Gun control" is now history. Anyone with the 3D printer can now make their own.



Get the files here. Beware the fake download links to various "free" PDF readers and such - the real download link is sort of hard to find, but it is there.

The name is appropriate - I doubt this gun is good for more than one or two shots before the barrel is useless - and I doubt that it is rifled. Just like a certain sheet metal one-shot mass produced for a couple bucks each back in the 1940's. Of course, a smoothbore like this might be classed as AOW by the BATFE - so printing one might make you a federal criminal unless you be their permission and pay the tax. Just saying.

Now - couple this with homemade plastic case ammo...

Zero intelligence

Or, just plain stupidity - after all, never attribute to conspiracy what can be thus explained:

Zero Tolerance Ruins the Life of a Good Kid… Again (UPDATED) 

I would like for you to meet Cole Withrow. In addition to being an Eagle Scout, Cole is an honors student and high school senior in Johnson County North Carolina … at least he was until recently.
Now, he is charged with a felony, expelled from school weeks before graduation, and sees his college plans crumbling since he will not be allowed to graduate.

 Well, go there and read.

There's good news, anyway.

Looks Like Negative Publicity Works

 Now, keep up the pressure:

f you want to help Cole, I would suggest polite, strongly-worded letters to the contacts below, as well as petitions and shares of this post.

1. Contact the Johnson County School Board and let them know what you think of their actions.
2. Contact the Johnston County DA Susan Doyle via email Susan.I.Doyle@nccourts.org or telephone (919) 209-5521 and ask her to immediately drop the charges against Cole.
3. Sign this petition that is going to the School Board.
4. Sign this petition to the Governor.
5. Keep up with the #FreeCole campaign at their Facebook page.

For once, the good guys win.

 

"Most of the guns used in Mexico came from the US"

So saith America's greatest gun salesman - who presided over "Fast and Furious".

Obama blames American guns for Mexican deaths: ‘Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States’

The president omitted mention of Operation Fast and Furious, his Department of Justice’s program that ‘walked’ thousands of guns across the border.

That 3D-Printed Handgun You've Been Waiting For Is Here

Michael Thad Carter for Forbes

Remember when Defense Distributed's Cody Wilson promised to unveil an entirely 3D-printed handgun made of ABS plastic with the firing pin its only metal part? Well, he's apparently done it. Forbes's Andy Greenberg was given a sneak peek of the result, and it looks and appears to be quite an achievement. If all goes well, the plans will be unveiled at Defcad.org next week.

A few things to consider from this video. As I mentioned, militias are perfectly legal under the United States Constitution. Keeping and bearing arms is supposed to be protected under the Second Amendment of the Constitution as well and as we’ve taken the time to point out, the federal government has no authority to regulate or restrict arms. They just aren’t given that authority in the Constitution. Therefore, the claim of “illegal possession of firearms” causes one to wonder, are these men felons and shouldn’t have a firearm? Are these men in possession of illegal guns and if so, upon what basis are they declared illegal? Federal legislation or state legislation?
