It’s time to start giving these self important nobodies dogs abuse and putting them in their place. This unfounded personal hatred directed at James Maddison , particularly by the 4ft 11 Rory Jennings ⭐ ⭐ borders on ridiculous. It says far more about these people than it does about Maddison himself. You couldn’t give me one legitimate reason to dislike Maddison. He’s a father of 5. A family man. Someone who loves football. Who breaks the mould of the monotone robotic footballer in interviews. Who gives real insight and genuinely cares. The only reason you could hate him is because you’re insecure and intimidated by his charisma because you have none. Small man syndrome at its absolute peak. Never has a man needed putting in his place more in his entire life than this little pussy hole. And by the way Rory, if you saw Maddison in the street you’d probably hide round the corner under a Bonsai tree you little leprechaun so don’t give it the biggen like you’d do anything.

‼️🚨🔵PRESSER🔵🚨‼️ 🎙 Liam Rosenior’s Full Pre-Pafos Press Conference – Part 1/2 🔹 Liam Rosenior on illness/injury: “Enzo Fernandez was ill yesterday 🤒 and missed training. There were signs of it during the game. Fortunately, Estevao is back in ✅, Gittens is back in ✅, Malo Gusto is back involved ✅. There’s a few coughs 🤧. We’re working very hard, we need to make sure the players are right for the game.” ⚠️⚽ 🔹 Liam Rosenior on managing in the Champions League: “Your dream, as a player or manager, is to be at the top of the game — the Champions League is a signal of that 🏆. It’s not about me; my focus is on winning the game and being successful here.” 🎯 🔹 Liam Rosenior on Jacquet transfer rumours: “You’ll know about me — I don’t speak about players from other clubs until something is agreed with the player. I think it’s so disrespectful.” ❌🗣️ 🔹 Liam Rosenior on Disasi in training and Sterling latest: “My decision on Axel — I had a really good meeting with him a couple of days ago 🤝. I said to the players when I came in that it’s a clean slate for everybody, so it was only right for me to chat with him. He’s behind in terms of his fitness and match fitness, and we’ll work with him. We’re in conversations with Raheem at the moment about different things going on in his career 👀. Hopefully that will be clearer in the next couple of days.” ⏳ 🔹 Liam Rosenior on Tosin injury: “Unfortunately for Tosin, there’s something in his hamstring 🤕 that is going to rule him out for the next few weeks.” ⏱️ 🔹 Liam Rosenior on Delap progress: “I’ve been delighted — not just with Liam but with a lot of the players I’ve worked with in my career 👏. I always keep a track of the players I’ve worked with, and it was so good to see him play at the level I know he is capable of in the Premier League. It wasn’t a surprise he ended up here. I am going to keep pushing him to keep improving.” 📈💪 🔹 Liam Rosenior on Enzo Fernandez being linked with a move away: “It means nothing to me 🤷‍♂️. When you’re a world-class player, there is always going to be speculation you cannot control. Enzo has been outstanding in the time I have worked with him ⭐. He was ill on Saturday — the way he covered the ground surprised me. He’s a Chelsea player 🔵. I hope we’re going to have a successful working relationship in the long-term and short-term.” 🤝 #CFC | #Chelsea | #UCL | #Interviews 📲 CFC_ChelseaFC via Telegram 📹 HaytersTv via Youtube

It’s no conspiracy — it’s the truth. Hopefully he’ll be well enough for tomorrow.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on his first month at Chelsea ⏳ “It takes time. What’s been really encouraging and pleasing is how the players have taken on so much information in not a lot of time.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Cole Palmer’s importance ⭐ “Any world-class player is important in what we want to achieve. It was great to see him bang in the goals on Saturday and hopefully that form continues.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on a strong first half, weaker second half 🎯 “That’s the perfection you’re striving for. Even in the second half, there were some really pleasing things.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Josh Acheampong’s position 🧠 “Josh is an amazing talent. I’ve met him and his parents — he has immense potential. I like to put young players in different positions because it improves their understanding of the game. Long-term, Josh is a centre-back and he has all the attributes to become a great one.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on the Elland Road defeat 🎥 “You watch every game. It’s difficult for me because when I first watched that match, I did so as a neutral — I didn’t realise I’d be Chelsea manager. Daniel is an outstanding coach, Calvert-Lewin is in really good form, and it’s going to be a very difficult game again.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Leeds’ direct approach 💪 “You saw it against Nottingham Forest — they were magnificent. When I say direct, I mean it in a really positive way. We need to stand up to that and overcome it.” #CFC | #Chelsea | #CHELEE | #Interviews 📲 CFC_ChelseaFC via Telegram

🚨Rúben Dias was asked about João Neves’ comments regarding Cristiano Ronaldo and the criticism aimed at Bruno Fernandes after Portugal’s draw against DR Congo: 🎙️ Reporter: “Rúben, what is your opinion on João Neves’ comments about Cristiano Ronaldo and the reaction from some supporters who have been criticizing Bruno Fernandes since the DR Congo match?” 🗣️ Rúben Dias: “To be honest, I think people are creating a bigger problem than what actually exists. João Neves is a young player and I know for a fact he has enormous respect for Cristiano Ronaldo. Everybody in this squad does. Cristiano is not just another player for Portugal. He is our captain, our leader, our all-time top scorer, and one of the greatest players football has ever seen. At the same time, Bruno Fernandes is one of the most important players in this team. The criticism he is receiving is unfair. People are acting as if he is playing against Portugal when in reality he is one of the players sacrificing the most to help this team succeed. What disappoints me is seeing Portuguese fans divided when we should be united. Cristiano wants Portugal to win. Bruno wants Portugal to win. Every player in that dressing room wants Portugal to win. Nobody is competing against each other. We are all fighting for the same badge. Sometimes football decisions are made in a split second. Not every pass can go to Cristiano. Not every attack can go through Bruno. That is football. The focus should be on helping Portugal move forward in this World Cup, not attacking our own players. The strongest Portugal teams I’ve been part of were the ones where everybody stood together. That is what we need now more than ever. {Sports }

Rory Jennings on 5 Sporting Directors 🗣️ The size of Chelsea. Liam rosenior isn’t a Premier League level manager and the ownership put him in a role he clearly wasn’t ready for. That’s the reality. What makes it worse is that the same people who appointed Liam Rosenior then sacked him, yet none of them faced any consequences themselves. If you are responsible for appointing arguably the worst manager in Chelsea’s recent history, you should also be under pressure for your job. The worrying part is that it was obvious to almost everyone that Rosenior was not the right replacement for Enzo Maresca, yet the ownership still handed him a six-year deal. After the Graham Potter situation, trying the same experiment again just showed how naive or incompetent the decision-makers at the club have been. Chelsea spent billions building this project, but the structure around the football decisions kept failing. What exposed everything even more was the dressing room. You could clearly see certain players stopped believing in the manager and once that happens, standards collapse. Whatever players think privately, their responsibility is still to fight for the badge, the fans, and the history of Chelsea Football Club. Instead, the lack of leadership, accountability, and belief became obvious for everyone to see. That’s why the appointment of Xabi Alonso feels so significant now because it finally feels like Chelsea have realised the previous approach simply was not working.

‼️🚨🔵 PRESSER 🔵🚨‼️ 🎙 Liam Rosenior’s Full Post-Arsenal Press Conference 🌀 Liam Rosenior on the game plan ⚙️ “We’ve had a lot to contend with in the last couple of days — a couple of fitness tests this morning. Our schedule has been incredible, so for the players to put in that energy, fight and spirit was pleasing. We got into the final third, but we didn’t have enough quality moments and didn’t take advantage.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on James & Neto 🚑 “Pedro and Reece both had small knocks and were in too much pain to be involved tonight.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Estevão & Cole Palmer 🧠❤️ “For Estevão to go through what he has at 18 years old says everything about the character I want in this team. With Cole, we have to take care of him and make sure he’s right for the whole season.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on the defeat 😔 “I’m extremely disappointed every time we lose. There were aspects of the game I was happy with, but you could see how devastated the lads were — we genuinely believed we could turn it around. There were moments there for us. I’m hurting, but we have to move on.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on how the game unfolded 🔄 “You can come away from home, press high and go 2–0 down. I brought Cole and Estevão on around 60 minutes and the game opened up. There was a feeling in the stadium that the tie could turn, but it didn’t happen. Their goal ultimately comes when we were throwing the kitchen sink at it.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on injuries affecting the setup 🧩 “The availability of your players always affects the system. Against West Ham we ran until the 97th minute trying to come back from 2–0 down, then the emotions from Napoli — all of that has to be taken into account.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on pundit criticism 🎙️ “I’ve been a pundit — it’s easy in hindsight. If I go and attack the game and press really high, people will ask what I’m doing.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on reacting to setbacks 🔥 “Losing is not what we wanted. We’ve played eight games in less than a month since I came in. The learning, spirit, togetherness and fight are there. Now I need to see what we look like after a setback. We’ve got a difficult game at Wolves and we’ll learn more about ourselves.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on the overall performance 👏 “We can’t talk about how well the game plan went because the result didn’t go our way. But not many teams come here and put in the performance we did tonight.” #CFC | #Chelsea | #CarabaoCup | #Interviews 📲 CFC_ChelseaFC via Telegram 🎥 Beanyman sports via YouTube

🚨 DJ Akademiks Reacts To Oschino’s Jay-Z Diss Track DJ Akademiks gave his thoughts on Oschino’s response record aimed at Jay-Z, saying the track highlights what he believes has become a growing problem for the Roc Nation founder’s public image. 🗣️ Akademiks says Jay-Z’s alleged comeback and PR campaign has been struggling as more criticism, allegations, and online scrutiny continue to follow him. According to Akademiks, Jay-Z’s legacy is now “in a fight for survival,” arguing that while a loyal fanbase still views him as untouchable, many people are no longer buying into what he called the “smoke and mirrors.” 💬 “He’s not untouchable. He’s not infallible. He’s just an artist. He’s a man with flaws, mistakes, and allegations.” Akademiks also suggested that Jay-Z’s recent Roots Picnic freestyle failed to generate the major responses many expected from his biggest rivals. 👀 Instead of responses from Drake, Nicki Minaj, or Kanye West, Akademiks pointed out that Oschino was one of the few artists to directly fire back. 😳 Oschino’s diss included shots at: • Jay-Z’s family controversies • Roc Nation • His relationship with Diddy • The Nas “Ether” era • Memphis Bleek • Jay-Z’s billionaire status and philanthropy • Alleged industry politics • Alleged Dead Beat Parent Akademiks ultimately called it a “cool diss” from a rap standpoint, but said the bigger takeaway is that public perception surrounding Jay-Z appears more divided than ever. 🤔 Do you agree with Akademiks that Jay-Z’s image is taking hits?

🚨 DJ Akademiks Says Wayno Doesn’t Understand The Personal Experiences He & Others Claim They’ve Had With Roc Nation Questions Whether Charlamagne Tha God Could Have Faced Disclosure Obligations If He Had An Equity Stake In Jay-Z’s Casino Bid 👀 DJ Akademiks responded to Wayno’s comments by arguing that people defending Roc Nation are speaking on situations they haven’t personally experienced. According to Akademiks, his criticism isn’t based on rumors, but on what he describes as his own legal and personal experiences. 🗣️ DJ Akademiks: • “We’re talking about personal experiences with them. We’re not just saying stuff.” • “They dragged me into court for eight hours. They’re outside people’s houses. They’re using proxies to file lawsuits.” Akademiks said that’s why he believes people like Wayno shouldn’t try to explain situations they weren’t involved in. ➡️ He argued that Wayno is attempting to tell him what his own experiences have been despite not being directly involved. ➡️ Akademiks compared it to someone commenting on a personal dispute they know nothing about. 🗣️ “How are you telling me what my experience is when you weren’t there?” Akademiks also questioned why Charlamagne Tha God continues responding to criticism aimed at Jay-Z. ➡️ He claimed Charlamagne frequently inserts himself into conversations that, in Akademiks’ opinion, should be addressed by Jay-Z or Roc Nation directly. 🗣️ “Charlamagne is always jumping in front of the bullet.” The discussion then shifted after Akademiks reacted to comments from Wayno, who appeared to state that Charlamagne allegedly held equity in Jay-Z’s proposed Times Square casino bid. 👀 Akademiks said that, if true, it raised questions in his mind about disclosure requirements not that any violation had occurred. 🗣️ DJ Akademiks: • “I don’t want to accuse anybody of committing a crime.” • “I’m handling this on a nuanced level.” Akademiks then explained the difference between Payola and Plugola, saying many people confuse the two. ➡️ He described Payola as accepting payment to play or promote music without proper disclosure. ➡️ He described Plugola as using broadcast airtime to promote a business or product in which the broadcaster has a financial interest without appropriately disclosing that relationship. Akademiks stressed that whether any rule was violated would depend on the facts, including whether Charlamagne was simply giving an opinion or delivering what regulators would consider a promotional endorsement. 🗣️ “If he was just speaking on a topic, that’s where the gray area comes in.” ➡️ Akademiks said that if Charlamagne did have an ownership interest, any required disclosure would generally need to be made to listeners during the broadcast if applicable not just through corporate filings. ➡️ He emphasized several times that he was raising questions based on Wayno’s comments, not accusing Charlamagne of violating any law.

Churches, protests, and bribes: Hichilema’s triple power play to secure Edgar Lungu’s body By Sishuwa Sishuwa So committed to telling lies is President Hakainde Hichilema that he seemingly either cannot help himself or experiences a “high” when deceiving others. I know that politicians are generally perceived to be liars, but such is Hichilema’s uncontrollable urge to lie, often compulsively and without any apparent reason or benefit, that one can be forgiven for thinking that delivering lies was one of his major campaign promises in the last general election. In countries with robust oversight institutions, the President would have already been subjected to a thorough evaluation by professional experts to determine if he has pseudologia fantastica, also known as mythomania – a condition in which individuals frequently tell lies, often for no clear reason. The latest in the long running series of the President’s constant deviation from the truth occurred on 17 July 2025 when he told journalists that his administration is “quietly” holding negotiations with the family of late former president Edgar Lungu aimed at resolving the impasse between the two parties regarding Lungu’s burial. This is the second time in the preceding two weeks alone that Hichilema has made this claim. The first was on 9 July when he met US Ambassador to Zambia Michael Gonzales at State House. On both occasions, the President has been untruthful. I have spoken with the Lungu family, and they have confirmed that there have been no discussions whatsoever between the two parties since Hichilema's administration initiated the court case that stopped Lungu's burial nearly a month ago, on 24 June 2025. Why then does the President keep telling lies on this matter? What prevents him from telling the truth even on straightforward issues where his lies can more easily be uncovered? In search of answers, I reached out to different sources in government and at State House for insights. The sources, who spoke to me on condition of anonymity and provided irrefutable evidence in support of their insights, revealed that the President, fearful that the Pretoria High Court might rule against the Zambian government because the South African law is on the side of a deceased’s family, has devised a strategy consisting of three elements aimed at preventing this outcome and securing the elusive access to his predecessor’s body. The first element of this plan is to persuade the influential Catholic Church to release a statement urging the Lungu family to agree to a mediated settlement that would allow the former president to be buried in Zambia. While some religious and civic groups have already been pressured to make similar appeals, the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB) has not yet done so. Hichilema believes that a statement from the ZCCB would carry more weight. To achieve this goal, the President sent a four-member, high-ranking government delegation to meet with the ZCCB in Lusaka on 18 July 2025. The presidential delegation, consisting of Minister of Defence Ambrose Lufuma, Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security Jack Mwiimbu, Minister of Community Development and Social Services Doreen Mwamba, and Special Assistant to the President for Legal Affairs Christopher Mundia – all practising Catholics – met with three representatives of the ZCCB, namely Ignatius Chama (Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Kasama and President of ZCCB), George Lungu (Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Chipata), and Valentine Kalumba (Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Livingstone). During the meeting, Hichilema's representatives expressed concern that the Catholic Church had not issued a statement on the impasse between his administration and the Lungu family. Embracing the pathological lying disposition of their boss, the delegation also mentioned that negotiations between the State and the Lungu family were progressing, and the government hoped the Catholic Church would participate in the discussions. One or two members of Hichilema’s delegation in the meeting reportedly said: “since Archbishop Alick Banda appears to be close to the Lungu family, how can we get him to intervene in this matter and help us?” To be clear, Banda is the Archbishop in charge of Lusaka Archdiocese whom the ruling party has previously called a “thief”, the “Lucifer of Zambia”, and a man with no credibility. In addition, the Catholic Church has itself been the subject of regular attacks and harassment from both State actors and ruling party officials. In response, the Bishops explained that they have stayed away from the matter because they do not have sufficient knowledge of the underlying facts and only comment on issues they fully understand. The Bishops also expressed hope that the issue would be resolved conclusively since it is now before a competent authority – the South African High Court. Given the despicable attacks that Hichilema’s administration has repeatedly unleashed on both Archbishop Banda and the Catholic Church in general, and in the absence of any public apology or atonement for this State harassment, it was unlikely that the Bishops would be deceived. However, one cannot blame Hichilema for trying his luck. The timing of this State-orchestrated meeting with representatives of the ZCCB was not coincidental. For much of this week, the Catholic Bishops have been meeting in Lusaka to, among other things, look at various issues affecting the membership of the church and the nation. Such meetings usually culminate in the release of a pastoral letter that is read out in parishes across the country. The sources disclosed that Hichilema’s fear is that a rebuke from the ZCCB on how his administration has handled Lungu’s funeral would be politically damaging, especially when one considers the other two elements of the strategy that the President has devised to secure access to his predecessor’s body. In dispatching his officials to meet the Catholic Bishops, Hichilema is not only lobbying the influential religious organisation to publicly support his cause based on the false impression that negotiations with the Lungu family have reached an advanced stage; he is also seeking to pre-empt the ZCCB’s possible criticism of his failure to provide leadership on a matter that has seen him use taxpayers’ money to sue a grieving family and halt a funeral that was underway. The second element of Hichilema’s strategy is to carefully orchestrate State-financed public protests in Lusaka, on the Copperbelt, in Eastern Province (Lungu's home area) and in other parts of Zambia to create the false impression of widespread public outrage against the decision by the Lungu family to lay the former president to rest in South Africa. The sources revealed that Hichilema has already set this plan in motion and is closely working with Robert Chabinga, a renegade member of parliament belonging to the main opposition Patriotic Front (PF) party. Chabinga, who is guarded by State police, is the MP that Hichilema’s administration – using the office of the Registrar of Societies which falls under Mwiimbu’s ministry – has installed as the government-recognised leader of the PF in the absence of an election. He has also been installed as Leader of the Opposition in Parliament by the Speaker of the National Assembly, Nelly Mutti, Hichilema’s former personal lawyer, though he was elected by no one. According to insiders, Hichilema had initially wanted Chabinga to join the court case in South Africa as Leader of the Opposition. After the President received advice against the move, he and his allies then hatched the plan to organise “mass public protests” across the country by placard-carrying ruling party supporters masquerading as PF members and Zambian nationalists demanding the return of Lungu’s remains so that he could be buried at home. The objective of these demonstrations would be to manufacture evidence of popular anger against the Lungu family's position, fabricate visible proof of “public interest” in Lungu’s funeral, and create the pretext that the government hopes it can use to persuade the South African judge to rule in its favour. These acts of “nationalism” would not be as they would seem, however. What would appear to be spontaneous demonstrations of widespread outrage would be carefully orchestrated by Hichilema as part of his power play to wrestle Lungu from exile in death and bolster his beleaguered presidency. For Chabinga, who remains at the helm of Zambia’s main opposition party because of the complicit role of the judiciary, delivering on this presidential aspiration would cement his State-backed illegal leadership of the PF and reduce the political costs that might befall Hichilema in next year’s election should Lungu be buried abroad. The third and final element of Hichilema’s strategy is to attempt to bribe the South African judge who is handling the legal case between the Zambian government and the Lungu family. Hichilema and his allies have resigned themselves to the possibility of losing the case. In private conversations, they admit that the law in South Africa favours the Lungu family and that if the Pretoria Court is allowed to decide the case based on the facts and law, the Zambian government is likely to lose. To avoid this almost certain outcome, Hichilema and his supporters have considered the option of bribing the judge presiding over the case. There is no evidence yet that an approach has been made, but Chabinga, who was recently in South Africa on a State-facilitated trip, has privately expressed confidence that the judge might be amenable to bribery. "The judge needs to eat", Chabinga was heard saying. If the planned mass demonstrations are successful, Hichilema's proxy added, "the judge will make a ruling based on the public outcry in Zambia...to support the Attorney General". The renegade PF MP further conceded that there is "a possibility that the judge can rule in favour of the Lungu family because the laws of South Africa give too much power to a deceased's family than to the government". He however reiterated his belief that if the judge is "pressured", aided with cooked up public protests, and made to "consider the fact that Lungu was a former president", the judicial official can rule in favour of the Zambian government. Chabinga and his backers know that attempting to bribe, in any way, a judge of a foreign country would be a major scandal that could adversely affect diplomatic relations between Zambia and South Africa. However, they seem determined to try their luck at implementing what Chabinga, in private conversations, calls a "special operation". Earlier, Chabinga had complained to his associates that he had been woken up by Hichilema at an ungodly hour to undertake, at short notice, the trip to Johannesburg but felt the need to sacrifice for the man he calls "ba boss". After briefing him about Hichilema's agenda for the "special operation", State actors had originally hoped to book Chabinga a seat on the first flight out of Lusaka, but he ended up traveling on a 10am Airlink flight. This followed a discovery that there were many prominent PF members on the earlier flight also traveling to South Africa. Ironically, even on the 10am flight, Hichilema's representative met several PF prominent figures such as Chanda Katotobwe, Nakiwe Simpungwe, and Christopher Shakafuswa who all greeted him and to whom he lied that he was traveling to Cape Town. It is important to clarify that the confidence of Hichilema's team that the affected judge might be open to bribery does not come from any personal knowledge of the justice handling the legal case. Rather, and as one of the sources stated, it stems from the knowledge that they have done similar things with some Zambian judges, particularly on matters involving the resolution of PF leadership wrangles, and got away with it. In private, Chabinga, for instance, acknowledges that a questionable judgement by the Pretoria High Court in favour of the Zambian government is likely to be reversed on appeal by a superior court. Nevertheless, the President's proxy is optimistic that the Lungu family will become fatigued by the time the verdict is delivered and ultimately consent to the return of the former president's body to Zambia rather than pursuing an appeal in the event of a dubious loss. The unfolding saga surrounding the burial of former president Lungu reveals more than a mere dispute over a final resting place. It exposes the depths to which political ambition can drive deception, manipulation, and ethical compromise. President Hichilema’s persistent falsehoods about negotiations, the planned orchestration of State-sponsored protests, and the alarming prospect of judicial bribery involving a foreign judge paint a troubling picture of governance undermined by desperation and duplicity. This strategy not only disrespects a grieving family but also erodes public trust in the institutions meant to uphold justice and truth. What began as a matter of state dignity and national closure has morphed into a volatile mix of political manoeuvring, public mobilisation, and devious ecclesiastical diplomacy. President Hichilema’s reported three-pronged strategy — courting the Catholic Church, rallying public protests, and attempting to sway a foreign court — suggests that the battle over Lungu’s body is about far more than burial rights. It is a symbolic struggle for control over Zambia’s political memory and moral authority. Whether these efforts succeed or backfire, they highlight a deeper crisis: the lingering divisions of Zambia’s political landscape and the extent to which historical rivals still cast long shadows over the present. In life and now in death, Lungu continues to provoke conflict, and President Hichilema appears determined to ensure that even in the afterlife, the final word belongs not to the Lungu family but to Hichilema himself. In a country that is yearning for transparency and integrity, such actions as the ones initiated by Hichilema highlight the urgent need for accountability at the highest levels of leadership. The true cost of this political theatre extends beyond the burial dispute; it threatens the moral fabric of Zambia itself. As citizens, observers, and custodians of democracy, we must demand honesty, respect for due process, and, above all, compassion in honouring – both in life and in death – those who have served the nation. No amount of spin or scheming can bury the truth forever. The nation watches and waits.

As citizens, observers, and custodians of democracy, we must demand honesty, respect for due process, and, above all, compassion in honouring – both in life and in death – those who have served the nation. No amount of spin or scheming can bury the truth forever. The nation watches and waits.
