Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. Michael
Dairy Show is on the air.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Caucasians Caucasian.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Yeah, you know, a white guy in the mustache about.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Six foot train, not very big mustache, a.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Loulia Cordiause.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's a serious matter. I'll do it myself, Honey, I'm
not an ordained minister.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
I'm doing my best.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Okay, we won't start cross. We want food war.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Will you.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Your short on ears and long on mouth? Sixty of
the time it works every time. Fact drunk and stupid.
It's no way to got the lifestar. Now we are
in trouble. A month or two ago, I received an

(01:38):
email that went thusly, my name is Catherine Nicholas. I'm
a sophomore at Richard's High School, a one A school
in Richards, Texas. I am proud to call myself the
president of the Turning Point USA chapter at our school,
as well as an Avid Michael Berry Show listener. And

(02:00):
we'd be honored to have you to invite you to
speak at one of our upcoming events. We admire your work.
Blah blah blah. Our goal is to inspire more students
to take an interest in current issues and how they
impact our communities and countries, our community and country. Thanks
for your time and what you do and these sorts
of things. And so I reached out and I said, well,

(02:21):
it's hard for me to get out to give speeches,
but I'm interested in how a young lady gets involved
in such a manner at such an early age. So
I invited Catherine on the show and she is our guest. Now,
welcome to the program there. Oh, sorry, welcome to the

(02:42):
program there.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Hi, Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Now, as I understand that you go to the way
your class work is scheduled, you get Fridays off, Yes, sir.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
That's something new that we started this year where a
very rural school, meaning we have a lot of rodeo
athletes who attend to miss school on Fridays, sir.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
For rodeo. Did did you say there rodeo at What
did you say?

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Yes? Rodeo athletes?

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yes? So are they missing school to go to rodeo?

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yes, sir?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Okay, what's the number one uh category that they compete in?

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Would you say a lot of our students are in roping?
We have, We've had a ton of graduates this year.
We had one who has been recognized in his Rodeo
region for being an outstanding student and for being outstanding
in his division. We also had a young man who

(03:48):
graduated two years ago and he was one out of
qualifying for the NFR.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Oh wow, y'all don't have any barrel racers, do you.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
We have one barrel racer and her name's Meredith Robleski,
and she is an outstanding young lady. She even went
home school this year to mainly focus on barrel racing.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
I had a friend who was married to a barrel
racer and they're supposed to be a little bit crazy
or maybe I should say spicy or spunky.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
That that is definitely a stereotype for a reason. It's
very true.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, okay, did she fit that?

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yes, I knew a Robleski. I knew I was a
Ron Robleski. I think he was like a police chief
in Chema or something. My memory fails me, but Robleski
is a is a unique name. You don't come across
very often. So, and you are a sophomore, yes, sir, okay,
And at this point, what would you think you'd like
to do when you graduate high school? I know that's

(04:43):
a long way away.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
So at this point, I either want to go into
the Air Force and be an aircraft electrician, or I
just want to take the path of being an electrician
through Inframark, which my uncle owns part.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Well, that's interesting, and what is info What Inframark?

Speaker 4 (05:05):
It's a mud management company.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
I'm sorry, I got to turn my volume out. We're
trying to get our volumes adjusted a what kind of management?

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Mud management?

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Mud management? Okay, all right, And so your uncle owns
part of this company, yes, sir, And you think you'd
have a pretty good shot of getting hired there, Yes, sir,
you think there are very many women electricians.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
I've seen more of them recently, but I know that
there still aren't a ton of women electricians.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Do you have any other electricians in your family?

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Yes, sir. One of my cousins he went to college
and it didn't work out, and he went straight into
apprenticing and he is now making a lot of money
and he's found something that he truly likes. And that's
what made me want to be an electrician.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Well, it strikes me as one of those things, you know,
as you get older, you will come to a preciate
that most people show up to an office or work
from home, and at the end of the day, they
don't have anything to show for it. Right, if you
frame houses, you can see the structure of a house,
or if you pour concrete, you can see something that

(06:16):
didn't exist before. And if you pull a wire, you've
got power where you didn't have it before. And it
strikes me that that would be a very rewarding, gratifying
experience to look back and to look.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
What I just did, Yes, sir, And I'm definitely someone
who can't just sit behind a desk. I have to
be working. I have to be doing something with my hands.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Is your last name pronounced Micholas mckelis, It's Greek mick kellis? Okay, Oh,
m Are you by any chance related to Kirk mckelis.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
Most likely, that's not one that I'm familiar with. But
my mom actually did say that you used to eat
at the restaurant at my dad and my grandpa owned,
and also the restaurant that my mom and my dad
owned when I got and my grandpa owned Harry's Diner,
and my dad owned George's Diner off Washington.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well, sure, I, oh, George, Yes, George is my cousin
oh wow, okay, Well that's yeah. You're part of a
big Greek family. So I know George, I've eaten over
there many times. Fantastic. One of the nicest guys in
the hospitality industry, and there are some nice guys, but

(07:34):
he is one of the absolute nicest guys. And what
they've done with Cleeburn, it's just amazing. Harry's I used
to live a few blocks from my wife, and I
used to go over there and eat breakfast back before
I was on the radio where I had to be
in the office, so early in the morning. I would
go in there for breakfast every morning. It was fantastic. Wow. Okay,
So you come from a big Greek family, which of

(07:56):
course means you come from a big restaurant family. Does
anybody in the family still own a restaurant besides George.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
Nick, I don't think so. My dad sadly passed away
almost four years ago, and I think that if he
could go back, he would have kept his restaurant.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
And what was your dad's.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Name, George, Harry mckellis.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Okay, And your mom's name.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Is Leslie originally Leslie Burd but now she's left in mckellis.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Okay, hold on. Katherine mckelli's is a sophomore Richard's High
School in Richards, Texas. She's the head of the TPUSA chapter,
the other Charlie Kirk chapter. I didn't noticed the last
name Michaelis and put that and process that that's a

(08:44):
big Greek family, a lot of restaurant tours. So I
had a friend named Kirk Michaelis, who's actually Tillman's cousin.
But I can't remember how he's he maybe maybe Paige,
just because I can't remember how he was related to.
But he owned what is the term that Mexicans call

(09:07):
white people, not weddos, remember the remember the bakery, Mexican bakery. Yeah,
El Bilio. Yeah, he owned El Bilio. He had cancer.
He uh, he went through a very intense round of chemo.

(09:28):
I mean very intense. He lost almost all of his hearing,
but he managed to beat it and then a few
years ago it came back and it took him down.
But he lived a number of years after that. But
he he had those three beautiful daughters, if you remember,
they were singers. They could sing their asses off, and

(09:51):
they went to Nashville to make a go of it
and they rented a house there and they were performing
and trying to get the big but you know, it's
like everything else, it's competitive and they didn't quite make it.
But their band name, I think was Michaelis. Anyway, So Catherine,
how did you get involved? And I'm assuming you're probably

(10:12):
sixteen seventeen. I'm fifteen fifteen, okay, fifteen as a sophomore,
so you'll turn sixteen at some point this year.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
I turned sixteen in January.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Okay, So how did you get involved with Turning Point?
What was your interest? Was it television, your parents, social media?
Why did you want to be a part of the
bigger conversation.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
Well, I've always been interested in politics, and growing up
with a dad who was a legal immigrant, I've really
been struck with all of the illegal immigration and it
just doesn't sit right with me. Well, my school it's
really small, A lot of the students share the same viewpoint,
and we were just talking about it one day and

(10:56):
we were like, well, maybe we should start a little organization.
We can just host little discussions where everybody can put
their opinion out there. Well, a couple weeks later, I
was sitting in my eighth period AD class, and our
history teacher gives us an assignment called in the News,
where we have to go and look up a news article,
read it, and summarize it in three sentences. Well, I

(11:20):
was doing that and the news popped up across my
computer that Charlie Kirk had been assassinated. I immediately gasped
and started crying, and I told the rest of my
class and they all started crying. And at a small school,
we have a big Christian base, and we all gathered
in the middle of the classroom and started praying. And

(11:40):
right there at that moment, I knew exactly that we
weren't just going to make a group where we discussed things.
We should just start a Turning Put USA.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
So you reached out the organization, and what happened.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
So I reached out to the organization, and they were
thrilled at such a small school to start something so big.
And once I got confirmation from the organization itself that
we were a registered Turning Quite USA chapter, then I
brought it up to my principal and at first we
all thought that she would be on the sense about it,

(12:15):
and she was just over the moon. Yes, y'all can
start it. Y'all are more than welcome to anything y'all need.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
That's wonderful.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Your sponsor, her name is Delendicator.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
What's that delendicatur, delend deicatur, Miss Deicatur.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
And then so you had to get a teacher sponsor.
And who who became your teacher sponsor?

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Our science teacher, which is mister Brown. And he is
thrilled about it. He's just thrilled to be involved in
such an amazing organization.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
So have y'all started meeting? What are you doing?

Speaker 4 (12:55):
We have started meetings, but it isn't we've started short
meetings during our break period because we're still so new.
We're trying to plan community activities good for.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
You, good for you, and in your school. I got
an email from a fellow named Dan Agan, and he
started a charity philanthropic group called we Won't Be Silenced
or we Won't be Canceled, and he has donated to
probably seven people we've had on the air over the
last couple of years who were canceled or in some

(13:29):
way harmed for speaking out simply their values. It would
be the equivalent of you know, you losing your house
and your job over what you're doing now just ridiculous stuff.
And he has stepped up and helped. And he is
in somewhere in Grimes County and he knew of your school.
Are are y'all in Grimes County?

Speaker 4 (13:50):
Yes, sir, we are right over the Montgomery County line
into Grimes County.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Okay, all right? And yeah, so anyway, so he was
very interested and wanted me to connectil with your with
your sponsor. Because you're a minor, I wouldn't send your information,
but I would if you'll send me mister Brown's information,
I will connect that. And he was interested in helping
however he could. That's very exciting, Catherine. It's very exciting,

(14:16):
and obviously it's still in its infancy, but the idea
of involvement, the idea of taking a leadership role, and
that as a young person. You know, my kids are
eighteen and nineteen and I still call them my kids
and I tell them they'll be my kids when they're fifty.
But for a kid, for a young person to see that,

(14:36):
I don't need to wait on an adult to do this.
I'm going to grab the bull by the horns and
I'm going to do this myself. I'm going to find
out how to make it happen. That's a great life skill.
Blazing trails and taking initiative is going to help you
in every aspect of your life.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yes, sir, thank you well.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
I appreciate you reaching out. I'm very impressed. I've heard
from a number of other students, but you were the
first when this whole thing started, which is why I
wanted to have you on. And I find it quite
inspiring and I hope you inspire others to do exactly
what you're doing. Keep up the great work, Catherine.

Speaker 4 (15:16):
Yes, sir, thank you so much for all of your time,
and I'll email you all over mister Brown's information sounds great.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Thank you. I make it a practice if a minor
reaches out to me that I asked that their parent
get on the response email. Maybe that's overly careful, but
I just I think it's better to be of all
the things that you can criticize someone for, I think

(15:43):
being overly careful in that way is just probably the
right thing to do, and so we always do that.
But I do love hearing from young people. If you
are a parent, who's going to send me an email
as with a question for your kid, include the kid,
make them write it and just copy you on the
email new rights Zar. Having been in youth ministry for

(16:09):
many years, I quickly recognize when other adults have the
gift of seeing a teenager for their full worth. You
demonstrated that with Catherine. Although she was so impressive, she
made it easy for you. As a sixty seven year
old Texan who was raised to say sir and ma'am,
I find it rare today. So I'm a sucker for
respectable youths like Catherine who were brought up that way.

(16:31):
What an excellent young woman she is becoming. I don't
have a gift of seeing teenagers for what they are worth.
I think other people do. I have a memory of
myself being that age, and how many people treated me

(16:51):
as if I was going to be the most important
person in the world one day, and giving me the confidence, encouragement, skills, criticism, suggestions,
guidance to get there, and how I noticed that a
lot of people didn't have the time to bother but
I remembered those people who did, And I sometimes think

(17:12):
to myself, am I as good to the next generation
as people were to me when I was that age,
When I was running for City Council the first time
I was. If you saw my calendar from that year,
I wish I had it. I was every day in
a meeting with I might do five of these in

(17:34):
the day. Jack Blanton d Osborn, Ben love ken Lay
when he was chairman of in Run. It was just
incredible the number of people who took the time, Gordon
Bethune who took the time to sit with me, Archie Dunham,

(17:56):
when these were the titans of Euston industry, pol Tis,
Rodeo sports clergy. It was really amazing, just amazing to think.
And I look back on that now and so I
am mindful of what a difference that made to me,
and so I try to do a little better. Maybe

(18:18):
I wouldn't otherwise. A friend of mine sent me an
email said, I saw a tweet about something and it
made me think of something that you would be thinking about,
and I knew you would want to hear about it.
It was listed as some things are actually worth the money,
and it was a list of things that cost money

(18:40):
that are actually worth it. And I'll just read it
and you can make a list in your own mind.
A good house cleaner, a good personal trainer.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
You know.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Petru signed up three people yesterday, sends me an email
on each one of them. One of them was a
seventy eight year old woman Christmas gift from her husband.
One of them was a forty two year old man
from Spring and when I was a fifty nine year
old woman from Bunker Hill, which is one of the villages.
I guess the one that I was reading about was
one before it was eighty seven. She wanted to be

(19:14):
able to walk across the She wanted to be able
to walk through m d Anderson for her cancer treatment.
So she's just trying to get a little stronger in
life for the realistic tasks that lay before her. Though.
That was pretty cool and the fact that he's excited
about it. Premium betting, we're going do you have premium

(19:35):
betting fret sheets or something like that? A good accountant,
I agree with that. Insane family vacations, gifts for day
one friends, high quality camera, public speaking, coaching, slash improv,
all Inclusive, gem Equinox come a Lifetime. This is their list,

(19:59):
not mine. The best headphones money can buy, buying every
book recommended to you. These are some things actually worth
the money. This is not my list. This was listened
a social club and that is if you live in
New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, or the Redneck
country Club, which is what the Redneck Country Club was.

(20:19):
Top of the line. Espresso machine Bevel is the band
that is given, which is over one thousand dollars. You know,
if your coffee is important to you. I've always had
the rule the things I'm going to do a lot
of I will spend an absurd amount of money on,
and things that aren't that important to me, I won't

(20:41):
and so I don't care if those things are important
to other people. I'm going to spend on the things
that I use every day, high quality underwear that's important
to me. And the reason is I'm going to wear
underwear all day every day. Good socks again, all day
every day. There are things that people spend money on

(21:04):
that aren't really that important, and the marginal difference in
spending more money doesn't make that much of a difference.
So what was the point of you know, what's the
point in doing that. I don't. I don't understand it.
That's just my own little moan, little standard Mike you're
on the Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
Go ahead, Hey, Michael, I'll like to talk to you again.
I spent some time doing not.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
What you're doing, but.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
On television making people happy, hopefully on Friday. That was
kind of one of my little little things that I
like to do. And I thought, let's have a happy
time in the closing moments of your show. And I
was thinking what would to make people happy. And I
know there's a lot of cigar smokers out there, a

(21:54):
lot more than a lot of them will admit because
they have to go home. And I've had that war.
But I'm smoking cigars about twenty years. And I've learned
a few things about him. And I heard something made
me really happy a couple of days ago.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
I heard.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Many Little Pez You know who Many is. He's the the.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Many El Cabano. Yeah, yeah, I just as Many.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Trust me. It's worth the time in the effort to
have some of his cigars. I think you've you've had them.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
I think I have.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
And he's he's I don't think he's doing very well,
but the company is doing well. And I've been down
there about gott his cigars. I've got some here with
me now, which I'm going to take take on a cruise,
have been on the cruise, and for Sunday from now,

(23:03):
I'm leaving on the cruise, I'm going to celebrate my
seventy eighth birthday on board.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Will let me be the first to wish you a
happy birthday. And you brought up something very interesting, and
I'm gonna speak to the ladies here. Many people, especially
maybe not more men than women, probably women more than men.
They don't have anything that is their unique joy, a

(23:31):
simple joy in life that is important to them, and
so they get to a point in their lives where
they're just on autopilot. There's nothing they look forward to.
So when you say to somebody you shouldn't smoke and cigar,
it's bad for you. It's horrible for you. There's no
positive physical benefit. But you know that's true of a

(23:55):
lot of things you've got to give a man. And
by the way, women I think do the same thing
to themselves. They deny themselves if you can't say one
thing makes you happy, fix that. For a lot of men,
A cigar like this fella right here is going to
go on. He can't wait to get all set up
and light up his cigar and has something we should

(24:17):
be for that. That's a good thing.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Laugh learning doing it big on the Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Blind Hookers. You gotta hand it to them. Monday, December
eighth is the filing deadline to be on the ballot
for the March primary, to win the Republican nomination for
whatever position you're interested in, to be on the ballot
next November. If you are not on the ballot on Monday,

(24:50):
if you are not filed by Monday, you cannot run
for office. You cannot be on the ballot. So be
mindful if you're considering, now is the time to do it.
A new Pentagon Inspector General audit has found that the
Biden administration allocated a whopping fourteen point two billion dollars

(25:15):
to resettle more than seventy five thousand largely unvetted Afghan
refugees inside US towns and cities, where many have carried
out or attempted to carry out terrorist attacks. I will
remind you John Cornyn, who is now just can't believe
that happened, voted for it. I will remind you that

(25:40):
Dan Crenshaw signed a letter alongside with Sylvia Garcia, the
two of those urging my Orcus to resettle Afghans here
in Houston. In other news, Jerry McGovern, the architect of
Jaguars twenty twenty four, woke at if you ever saw

(26:00):
that it was creepy that rebrand caused a ninety seven
point five percent sales collapse. They've never seen anything like that.
You could have learned that the wheels came off a
mile after you left the dealership, and I don't think
it would have caused a ninety seven point five percent

(26:22):
sales collapse. Jerry McGovern has now been fired and escorted
from the building, while Jaguar tries to figure out how
to pick up the pieces. These are random stories that
I didn't get to this week that I made a
stack of if you were wondering why. In twenty twenty,
the Scotis the Supreme Court ruled five to four that

(26:43):
the US Census could not include a question on citizenship,
which is insanity. So illegals were counted just like citizens,
which of course meant Democrats got more congressional seats. They
were rewarded for illegal immigration because wherever you push those illegals,

(27:07):
to be Minneapolis, Los Angeles, you got more congressional seats. There,
so you'd have more Democrats in Congress than Republicans, not
because citizens wanted them there, but because illegal aliens did.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Do you know who?

Speaker 2 (27:22):
The deciding vote was to keep citizenship from being asked
on the census John Roberts Yes, him again and the
John Roberts protege Jeff Brown, Trump appointee to a federal court.
Jerry Smith wrote a scathing dissent in Jeff Brown's decision,

(27:48):
joining with the Democrat to prevent the new maps in
the state of Texas, the redistricting maps that more closely
align with human beings as human beings and not remandering
based on race. Jeff Brown and his little behind the
scenes chicken crap move was stopped temporarily by Justice Alito

(28:12):
and has now been stopped completely by the United States
Supreme Court, that decision coming out yesterday. In April twenty
twenty four, the journal Nature released a study finding that
climate change would cause far more economic damage by the

(28:34):
end of the century than previous estimates had suggested. That
was in April of last year, highly regarded magazine journal
actually Nature, a scientific journal that too. On Wednesday, Nature
retracted that prediction that was a political prediction not a

(28:57):
scientific one. Los Angeles Times editorial, under the title must
reads STDs and women are skyrocketing. Officials think racism and
misogyny might be to blame. I'm not even sure how

(29:17):
that would work. Joe Biden's US Postal Service electric vehicle fleet,
three hundred billion dollars was spent for six hundred twelve trucks.
That's four point nine million dollars per truck. That's why
it's called the Green new scam. Teenager had just finished

(29:50):
a treatment, a treatment for something called neurotherapy. So they said,
we'll tell Michael, tell mister Barry what it is. So
he goes into a room and they wire up a
bunch of stuff on his head like Frankenstein frankensteaming, and

(30:14):
he watches a TV show and his brain his issue
is OCD. But they're treating PTSD and and I'm not
telling you I believe the treatment works. I don't know
enough about it. I did do some study on it
last night after our dinner. So as his brain, he
said that what was happening is is his brain wanted

(30:36):
to replay scenes or to fast forward through the movie
because he could already figure out what was going on,
and when your brain does that, apparently it shuts the
show down, and it is not until your brain slows down. Supposedly,
this is what they're telling him, is what he says.
I believe him. I know these people very well, like
them a lot. Then it the show will start back

(31:00):
when your brain calms down, forcing your brain supposedly to
rewire away from the desire to go all right, finished,
finish the point, Finish the point. Yeah, I finish everything
that is an outgrowth of OCD. I don't know if
this works or not. I don't know if it's a

(31:21):
complete scam, no idea, but I am hopeful because I
have seen people, particularly young people, who I think struggle
in life because of whether you want to call it
OCD or spasticity or poor whatever you want. I've seen that.
And if we can make improvements, we can make improvements

(31:43):
for brain trauma PTSD, then I am all for it
and very hopeful of it. Oh one other things. We
have some friends I have. We have a friend that
we've known for many years. She's a single mom, and
she lives in an apartment. She came to for help
some time ago, and and she's been trying to find
a place that she could afford. She makes about four

(32:05):
grand a year. She works in a hospital system environment.
And I said I would reach out and find somebody
who helps people. I know there are programs to help
people become a first time home buyer. Good person, kind
of people you want to help. So if you are
one of those people, email me because I said I
would help with that. In mind of them, got a
hand to them.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
