| chemtrails Posted: 10/28/2009 11:33:43 AM | HOW can I tell the difference? I never saw ordinary contrails turn into cirrus-like clouds, so if a trail persists and spreads to become a hazy cloud, chances are good it's a "chemtrail"
when a plane is cruising at 35,000 feet, can you see the markings on it to identify it as military or civilian? No, not without some pretty powerful binoculars, however, it is usually possible with ordinary binoculars to make out colour (which usually indicates company colours or a logo on the plane. Most commercial planes are pretty obvious about that.) For the most part, planes at 35000 feet are leaving regular contrails, and where I am, they are just overflying the city on their way to another airport. Nothing suspicious about them that I've seen.
Does the "chemtrail" result after being mixed with the jet fuel, or are there "sprayers", for lack of a better word? How the hell am I supposed to know? I'm not exactly putting the planes under a microscope you know!
wouldn't you be able to test the internals of the jet motors for traces of such chemicals? How about testing the fuel NOT burned for these chemicals, as there is always fuel left over in the tanks? AND, if so, why hasn't that been done yet? "I" can't do ANY of that...I don't even know where they land, and I rather suspect that even if I did, nobody there is gonna let me examine the plane closely anyway. I doubt anybody else would be allowed to either (especially since they seem to be non-commercial (military?) aircraft, which would explain why that stuff hasn't been done yet.
Enquiring minds need to know. You & me both! | |

No, it means you can look forward to some inclement weather. You've got a warmfront on the way.
No, not without some pretty powerful binoculars
Like these, perhaps:

however, it is usually possible with ordinary binoculars to make out colour (which usually indicates company colours or a logo on the plane. Most commercial planes are pretty obvious about that.)
Wow, you must have a pretty good "spotting scope" or binoculars because, every time I've ever tried to see anything with a pair of binoculars like that, I get just the shape. But outstanding markings? Not really.
How the hell am I supposed to know? I'm not exactly putting the planes under a microscope you know!
Which is where people fill in the details with their imaginations. Unfortunately, too many people have "issues" with their imagination and where it takes 'em. | |

the "chemtrail" planes appear to be either (KC?) 135s or 167s. No such plane as a 167 (that we know of... mwuahahaha...)
I never saw ordinary contrails turn into cirrus-like clouds, How did you know those were ordinary contrails in the first place? Or that the chemtrails "turning into clouds" weren't actually normal contrails dispersing (normally)? Sort of this line of thinking, it seems:
"Daddy, what is an apple?" "It's what grows on apple trees." "What's are apple trees, then?" "They grow apples."
What makes contrail dispersal a chemtrail? What chemical causes dispersal and how? What lack of chemicals causes lack of dispersal? | |
|
| chemtrails Posted: 10/28/2009 12:22:48 PM |
outstanding markings? Not really. So you can't even make out the presence of colour, like the white/blue of a Canadian Airlines fuselage? (I'll admit the orange is pretty small & hard to spot with ordinary binocs). Mind you, it does help to put your binocs on a parallelogram tripod mount.
BTW I LOVE those RC Optical scopes! I've never peered through them, but I HAVE had a lot of "wet dreams" about a 36"RC some guy in Arizona had for sale awhile back (I wonder if he ever sold it...He was only asking $350k and I'm sure he paid over a million for it!) | |

| chemtrails Posted: 10/28/2009 12:34:55 PM | No such plane as a 167 (that we know of... mwuahahaha...) Hee Hee...typo!
How did you know those were ordinary contrails in the first place? Or that the chemtrails "turning into clouds" weren't actually normal contrails dispersing (normally)? OK, answer me this...in 30 years of looking up, I never saw a contrail become a cloud. Since about 1995 I see all kinds of contrails turning into clouds. Coincidence? Is it possible I just never in my life looked at the "right" contrails until the weather changed drastically in the nineties, thus creating the circumstances whereby they could now form all the time?
Being a pilot, answer me this...When you are in the queue to land at an airport, do you not circle it in a fairly wide arc, or do you make straight passes over the middle of the city at 15000 to 25000 feet? If so, why?
If you are jettisoning fuel before a landing, how long should that take (in a "worst case scenario). Are you allowed to jettison fuel directly over major population centres? What should your contrails look like when you jettison fuel? At what altitude do you usually do it? | |

I'm not a pilot but I did see one in a holding pattern before going into Pearson International do several circuits over my usual observing spot one night. I'd estimate it wasn't more than that 10,000 feet and likely closer to 5,000 at the time. I don't think it was a jumbo. Maybe an A-319...strictly a guess on my part. | |

| chemtrails Posted: 10/28/2009 3:46:50 PM | JustDukky, I can't speak to your own personal experience. The fact is that your own personal experience does not speak for much regarding building a case for the intentional spraying of toxins on the populace.
Personally, I wasn't even aware of contrails until I saw them in old aviation movies as a kid. I lived to close to a major airport growing up, and all the planes flew rather low. Since then, I've seen contrails form, not form, dissipate quickly, and dissipate extremely slowly, and becoming like clouds as you said. It boils down to atmospherics, as has been said numerous times here.
However, a picture is worth a thousand words as they say. If you really have a case to make, I suggest you take a photo of the next all white KC-135 flying at 20,000' that is leaving a "chemtrail." I will take a look and see if I see anything mysterious. Just to warn you though-- as a ghosthunter once said, "You can't actually see a ghost if you don't already believe in them."
But really, don't you think the gov't would be able to complete these nefarious activities in a more invisible fashion? | |

your own personal experience does not speak for much regarding building a case for the intentional spraying of toxins on the populace. Am I trying to build such a case? The spraying of toxins on an innocent populace is a matter of historical record. All I assert now is that something funny is going on and they're pretty close-lipped about it and trying to lie it away. That alone suggests something evil is going on. (have you EVER known a government to do anything good?)
Fact 1: Barium and aluminum particulates are being dumped into the atmosphere (based on soil & water testing) Fact 2: People who ask what's going on are being discounted as conspiracy theorists (a sure sign that a real conspiracy exists, as they are devoting considerable manpower & media influence to promoting the "official" bullsh¡t view.) Fact 3: Freeman Dyson & Edward Teller both proposed just such a program in using reflective powder compounds as a means of combatting global warming. (as a point of interest, I pulled this off Wikipedia (so it's probably just some teenager's fantsay anyway. knowing how reliable Wikipedia is, though I imagine we could probably check on the patent.: "Methods based on increasing the aerosol content in the lower stratosphere for climate modification were proposed by a Russian scientist, Budyko.[19] United States Patent 5003186 suggested that tiny metal flakes could be "added to the fuel of jet airliners, so that the particles would be emitted from the jet engine exhaust while the airliner was at its cruising altitude." Alternative proposals, not known to have been published in peer-reviewed journals, include the addition of silicon compounds to jet fuel to make silicon dioxide particles in the exhaust." Fact 4: If all they were doing was combatting global warming, they would be dispensing at much higher altitude and they probably would love to take the credit for saving humanity from an oven, so something more sinister is probably going on (Your guess is as good as mine)

If there is one thing that drives me crazier than all the whacky conspiracy theories that are actually given credence, it is that man made global warming is given even a passing thought. YET, that having been said, govts. at all levels are almost in a race to see which one can be "greener"....... So if putting metal flakes in jet fuel were to even mayb sort of somehow possibley even in the slightest help with "global warming", don't you think that they would be just SO PROUD OF WHAT THEY WERE DOING? Why in hell would they hide it?
I am disapointed in you, please, come up with a better conspiracy than that........
Paul K | |
|
| chemtrails Posted: 10/28/2009 5:03:19 PM |
Am I trying to build such a case? It sure LOOKS like you are.
The spraying of toxins on an innocent populace is a matter of historical record. With the caveat that the fluorescent compound in question was at the time considered almost completely harmless, and has, in fact, never been shown to be otherwise; that is, has never been shown to be a toxin.
All I assert now is that something funny is going on and they're pretty close-lipped about it and trying to lie it away. That alone suggests something evil is going on. You're missing a huge step there. If "something funny *IS* going on" and "they" are trying to lie it away, that would, in fact, probably suggest something evil is going on. But you're missing at least one step there; you can't demonstrate that "they" are lying about something until you've at least proven that *SOMETHING* is happening in the first place. (see below, as well.)
(have you EVER known a government to do anything good?) Yes. The simple fact that you are unable to come up with a single example speaks volumes about your credibility as an unbiased critic.
Fact 1: Barium and aluminum particulates are being dumped into the atmosphere (based on soil & water testing) Provide a source? Please be sure that source has at least attempted to rule out non-nefarious origins for said barium and aluminum particulates, and quantifies such alleged contamination against commonly-accepted levels of toxicity.
Fact 2: People who ask what's going on are being discounted as conspiracy theorists (a sure sign that a real conspiracy exists, as they are devoting considerable manpower & media influence to promoting the "official" bullsh¡t view.) I could simply go with the "if you don't act like an enemy, you probably won't have any" argument, but I'm not sure you'll "get" how that applies in the case of "if you don't act like a conspiracy theorist, you probably won't be called one." Let's go with a comparable scenario: Me: What year did you stop beating your wife and children? You: What do you mean? I never beat my wife and children. Me: So you admit you beat one or the other. You: No! I never beat my wife OR my children! Me: I think you are a bit too vehement in your denial. Clearly you are hiding something. You: What? You're insane! Me: Oh, now you're attacking me as a feint to draw me off the REAL crimes you've committed..... etc... (Here's a hint: Simple denial that something is true does not MAKE it true... Your logic there has become completely defective. If you KNOW something is true and can prove it, then yes, denial does lead one to believe that perhaps there is a nefarious intent, or at least an effort to avoid responsibility on someone's part.)
Fact 3: Freeman Dyson & Edward Teller both proposed just such a program in using reflective powder compounds as a means of combatting global warming. I thought you said something nefarious was afoot, not an attempt to save the world. Stay on target, Skywalker.
(as a point of interest, I pulled this off Wikipedia (so it's probably just some teenager's fantsay anyway. knowing how reliable Wikipedia is, though I imagine we could probably check on the patent.: "Methods based on increasing the aerosol content in the lower stratosphere for climate modification were proposed by a Russian scientist, Budyko.[19] United States Patent 5003186 suggested that tiny metal flakes could be "added to the fuel of jet airliners, so that the particles would be emitted from the jet engine exhaust while the airliner was at its cruising altitude." Alternative proposals, not known to have been published in peer-reviewed journals, include the addition of silicon compounds to jet fuel to make silicon dioxide particles in the exhaust." Ah yes, the old "If a thing *can* be done, our government *is* doing it TO US FOR AN EVIL REASON" argument. See above about "acting like an enemy."
Fact 4: If all they were doing was combatting global warming, they would be dispensing at much higher altitude and they probably would love to take the credit for saving humanity from an oven, so something more sinister is probably going on (Your guess is as good as mine) At least you admit this part is just idle speculation on your part.
Don't you know that the best place to hide something is in plain view? And the best way to prove a conspiracy is to define any denial as complicity in the conspiracy, and hence, proof the conspiracy exists in the first place. (See above, again.) | |

| chemtrails Posted: 10/28/2009 6:51:45 PM | the fluorescent compound in question was at the time considered almost completely harmless, and has, in fact, never been shown to be otherwise; that is, has never been shown to be a toxin. Two relevent points: Toxicity by inhalation was unknown (and even today has not been adequately researched to make a determination one way or the other, though the toxicity of Cadmium is well known), so they had no assurance that there would be no adverse affect on the population. It was human experimentation WITHOUT INFORMED CONSENT!!! In case you hadn't checked, that is a MAJOR crime! Do you think they should get away with it? Worse than that, it was military from a FOREIGN COUNTRY conducting experiments in mine. (How would YOU feel if the Mexican military had conducted similar experiments in YOUR town without even telling you?
you can't demonstrate that "they" are lying about something until you've at least proven that *SOMETHING* is happening in the first place. I don't have to demonstrate anything, unless I plan to sue them over this crap (and I'm not ruling that out, but I have no evidence to present...only observations). A cop doesn't have to prove a guy committed a crime, all he needs is probable cause. Believe me, if I even had probable cause, I'd be screaming for the arrest of the appropriate people for trial at the ICC. No, all I have (so far) is what I believe to be good cause to be very suspicious and that's what I am.
OK, I'll bite...What has a federal government done in recent history that was any good for anybody but them?
Provide a source? Please be sure that source has at least attempted to rule out non-nefarious origins for said barium and aluminum particulates, and quantifies such alleged contamination against commonly-accepted levels of toxicity.

(may not meet your stringent conditions, but I'm not trying to prove anything either...am I?)
This one is a better example of people who are only asking questions getting lumped in with the "conspiracy theorists":
http://www.scribd.com/doc/11561816/Chemical-Contrails
Are you expecting me to prove some sort of case? I say something funny is going on and you expect me to prove it to you? Why? DYODD!
I'm not sure you'll "get" how that applies in the case of "if you don't act like a conspiracy theorist, you probably won't be called one." I could care less about what people call me. I call 'em as I see 'em, and I say there's something rotten going on in the government (as usual!). What I find hard to believe is that supposedly intelligent people even think there's anything worth supporting in it. I guess it really is true that people get the government they deserve!
Simple denial that something is true does not MAKE it true... Your logic there has become completely defective. If you KNOW something is true and can prove it, then yes, denial does lead one to believe that perhaps there is a nefarious intent, or at least an effort to avoid responsibility on someone's part. If I KNEW my suspicions were true, I'd be getting up a lynch mob with rope & baseball bats. I base my suspicions on the sound reasoning that most of what a federal government does is not in the best interests of the people. Don't lecture me on elementary logic and proof as though I'm trying to prove anything to anyone based on a flawed logic. I'm well aware that I'm using personal experience, hearsay and inductive reasoning TO STATE MY VIEWS. I was never aware that I had to produce an airtight logical case to have a reasonably well founded belief. I don't NEED to prove I'm right to you or anyone esle. All I can do is submit my opinion for consideration. What you believe is your business. I'm well enough acquainted with logic and law to know I haven't got a case (on the chemtrail business), but if we're laying odds on whether what they are doing is good or bad, I'll put my money on bad every time. The odds are heavily in my favour.
I thought you said something nefarious was afoot, not an attempt to save the world. Stay on target, Skywalker. The simple fact that these slimeballs AREN"T puffing up and taking credit for "saving the world" (and are apparently trying to discredit the people with rational questions) is a pretty good argument that saving the world ISN'T their intent!
Ah yes, the old "If a thing *can* be done, our government *is* doing it TO US FOR AN EVIL REASON" argument Our countries would be better run by the "Teflon Don" than by the thieving crooks we have to endure now. If you think they are doing a good job, you probably believe in the tooth fairy too.
At least you admit this part is just idle speculation on your part. Have I ever asserted otherwise?
And the best way to prove a conspiracy is to define any denial as complicity in the conspiracy, and hence, proof the conspiracy exists in the first place.
False. The best way to SUGGEST a conspiracy is to ask questions that challenge the "official version" of a major crime, then watch as the cointelpro guys come out to play. Everybody knows the odds of proving a government conspiracy are about zilch. | |

I have no evidence to present...
if I even had probable cause...
you expect me to prove it to you? Why? Looks like this argument has backpedalled right out the door. *shuts the door, locks the deadbolt*
I call for an adjournment until we at least get some photos of an all-white KC-135 (not grey as all of them are now) flying at lower than commercial jet altitudes (that is a tricky one to confirm) and spewing contrails out of its 4 engines that are somehow different from normal contrails (although contrails dissipate quite differently depending on the moisture content). Lingering contrails at low altitudes, especially in the warmer months, are unusual. Better yet, find a plane that has less contrails than it has engines-- that IS fishy!
Besides, I have to go feed my pet unicorn. I don't have to prove I have one to say that on here, do I?? I didn't think so. | |
|
| chemtrails Posted: 10/29/2009 11:02:49 AM |
Looks like this argument has backpedalled right out the door. Backpedalled? What argument? I wish you guys would quit trying to stick me with a strawman to knock down! How many times do I have to say that I'm merely stating my opinion based on my own observations. I'm NOT trying to prove ANYTHING. I'm only saying that something fishy is going on (and have developed a hypothesis that is apparently consistent with what many people are saying), and unless YOU GUYS can present something more convincing than the usual spiel about how nothing has changed since the nineties (which is in direct contradiction to my observations), I will remain unconvinced.
That said, I have an open mind and I'm quite willing to entertain plausible explanations for the phenomena I have observed, if anyone cares to produce them. If you sincerely want to "debunk" my views, you ought to at least produce explanations for the following anomalies(?) I have observed:
I NEVER observed lingering contrails until the mid-nineties and have observed many lingering ones that turn into cirrus-like clouds since then. Plausible explanation please. Don't say "coincidence" because the probability that it is, is vanishingly small. Something changed around 1995...What might it have been?
While I live near an airport, never in the past (pre-mid-nineties) have I observed jets flying straight flight paths over central Winnipeg at 15,000 to 25,000 ft., leaving dense contrails, more often than not on clear, or partly cloudy days. The planes usually overfly Winnipeg over the course of a couple of hours, then cease leaving contrails. It should be noted that the contrails are apparently left at about the same altitude (I have seen them "interfere" with one another where they intersect). Why would jets overflying Winnipeg fly so low? If they are taking off or landing, why would their flight path be straight? Why are the jets so quiet? as I've said before, they are flying far below cruising altitude, yet make hardly any jet noise. (I should mention that they appear to be flying in the 300 to 400 mph range) Why do these jets appear to be non-commercial aircraft?
Flyguy, as a pilot you ought to be able to answer some of my questions with something plausible if you'd like to assuage my suspicions. At the very least, it would be helpful if you answered some of my questions regarding fuel dumping and airport holding patterns & altitudes (a prior post I made), so I'd have a better handle on what constitutes "odd" behaviour by aircraft.
Don't forget to give your unicorn a treat...I hear they're especially fond of pink cotton candy. (Mine prefers Margaritas)  | |

| chemtrails Posted: 10/29/2009 12:48:28 PM | dukky, here is a link showing contrails from aircraft as far back as the 1940's. it also has many links you may want to read (chemtrail plausibility study, history channel chemtrails, many more). basically they are all debunking the idea that contrails are anything other than naturally occurring events due to temp/moisture.
http://contrailscience.com/contrail-photos-through-history/
all though i am not privy to what airspace and corridors the USAF is allowed to train in over canada , i would not be too surprised to see kc-135, c-130 and other military aircraft flying over the winnepeg area. Minot AFB is just across the border in north dakota.
It should be noted that the contrails are apparently left at about the same altitude this is to be expected. in fact bombers tactically fly low some times so as not to leave contrails. kind of like a big flag "here we are". air temps are colder at higher altitude, cold (moist) air is needed to form contrails. all though i am more familiar with thermolclines (layering of temperatures) in water than in the atmosphere, this would account for why you see contrails at similar altitudes.
I NEVER observed lingering contrails until the mid-nineties and have observed many lingering ones that turn into cirrus-like clouds since then. Plausible explanation please. Don't say "coincidence" because the probability that it is, is vanishingly small. Something changed around 1995...What might it have been? i would have to say the only thing that changed was the detail of your observations. because i have witnessed contrails turning to cirrus like clouds since i was a little tike. that was way before the 90's ;-) | |
|
| chemtrails Posted: 10/29/2009 1:21:23 PM | Duks, I can lay claim to at least a couple of contrails going over Winnipeg, having traveled to Edmonton and Vancouver from Toronto on business.
How many times do I have to say that I'm merely stating my opinion based on my own observations. I'm NOT trying to prove ANYTHING. I'm only saying that something fishy is going on (and have developed a hypothesis that is apparently consistent with what many people are saying), and unless YOU GUYS can present something more convincing than the usual spiel about how nothing has changed since the nineties (which is in direct contradiction to my observations), I will remain unconvinced.
In other words you want us to prove that contrails AREN'T chemtrails. Sorry, not how it works. If you have a case to make, make it.

Don't say "coincidence" because the probability that it is, is vanishingly small. Something changed around 1995...What might it have been?
As the photos already provided show, contrails have been around for as long as we've had high altitude flight. I recall seeing contrails well into the '80s.
While I live near an airport, never in the past (pre-mid-nineties) have I observed jets flying straight flight paths over central Winnipeg at 15,000 to 25,000 ft., leaving dense contrails, more often than not on clear, or partly cloudy days.

(I should mention that they appear to be flying in the 300 to 400 mph range) Why do these jets appear to be non-commercial aircraft?
This is a little rambling so I'm not sure what your point is. If they are coming in for a landing, they're going to pass through warmer amounts of air and less likely to leave a contrail. However, I too have seen vortices coming off the tips of wings flying into YYZ. Spray? Not likely. It was in humid air. Go fig.
I've heard jet noise from jet flying high overhead. It just took a while. By the time I heard the sound, the jet was already well past zenith. That's just the way sound propogates.
Hey, someone has a unicorn? I have a pegasus. We should get 'em together. Can you imagine what they'd produce? | |

| chemtrails Posted: 10/29/2009 2:26:08 PM | i would not be too surprised to see kc-135, c-130 and other military aircraft flying over the winnepeg area. Minot AFB is just across the border in north dakota. True. They do fly over the Peg a lot, apparently headed to/from Alaska(?). With the base only being about 80 miles away, I would expect them to be fying at less than cruising altitude. HOWEVER, I would also expect them to mostly fly in a NW/SE direction. The planes I see are flying in many totally different directions, sometimes turning around for another "pass" over Winnipeg. (Maybe they're doing photo-reconaissance and we have a lot of cute naked rooftop tanners?)
bombers tactically fly low some times so as not to leave contrails As I stated earlier, I only see an occasional contrail at cruising altitude, and there doesn't seem to be anything abnormal about them (except maybe they are a bit more persistent than I remember from the "old days", but that could just be my faulty memory). Most of the really persistent contrails I see are at about 20,000 feet, which in itself seems a bit strange, because the pressure & temp at that altitude ought to be generally less likely to form contrails than higher altitudes (at least, so far as I'm aware, please correct me if I'm wrong)
The strangest thing (and the one that nobody seems to address here, is the quietness of the jets producing these persistent contrails. Are the military jets different than the civilian/commercial ones? Do they use different engines?
this would account for why you see contrails at similar altitudes. Yes, but why would air traffic controllers allow planes within say, 20 miles of one another to fly at the same altitude over winnipeg? wouldn't that constitute an unacceptable hazard? (We aren't exactly Chicago here, so I imagine there are plenty of levels at least 1000' altitude differential to assign for safety reasons.

In other words you want us to prove that contrails AREN'T chemtrails. Sorry, not how it works. If you have a case to make, make it. I don't want you guys to prove sh¡t, and I'm not out to prove any case either, so quit trying to trap me in a strawman argument. What I would appreciate is not having my observations written off as the ravings of a deluded conspiracy theorist, or perhaps as outright lies in order to "prove my case." I've made some observations that convince me something is going on. You don't believe it's anything out of the ordinary. Fine...I can accept that. HOWEVER, IF you wish to persuade me that my observations are misinterpretatrions of very natural things that happen all the time, then you'll have to produce at least SOME plausible alternate explanations for the stuff I've seen, primarily WHAT CHANGED contrails over Winnipeg in the mid-nineties? (because I assure you, something did).
As the photos already provided show, contrails have been around for as long as we've had high altitude flight. I recall seeing contrails well into the '80s I've been watching them since jets started landing in Winnipeg in the early sixties. Nothing unusual until about 1995...WHAT CHANGED?
I'm not sure what your point is The point was that (to the best of my knowledge) aircraft waiting to land , normally fly around the airport in very wide sweeping arcs...They don't normally fly straight over the city at over 15,000 feet.
I too have seen vortices coming off the tips of wings flying into YYZ. Spray? Not likely. It was in humid air. Go fig. Most of the contrails I see originate from the engines. Only at the highest altitudes does it ever look to me like they might be originating at the wingtips.
I've heard jet noise from jet flying high overhead. It just took a while. By the time I heard the sound, the jet was already well past zenith. That's just the way sound propogates The sound on the quiet jets that interest me appears to emanate from not too far behind the jet (maybe about 30° arc behind it, certainly no more than 45°). As I say, they are not flying anywhere near their ceiling, so the sound ought to be louder; it isn't.)
I have a pegasus I bet I could "debunk" that!  | |

The hard part in figuring out from when the sound eminated to when you heard it. If you could figure out that, you could easily figure out how far away they are from you. You can guess pretty close from where the plane is, vs. the noise.
As far as the planes getting quieter, that is exactly what is happening. There is a beach community near me that planes take off over, and they are very vocal about noise. No plane can land there after 10:00PM, or take off before 6:00 AM. The planes have unquestionably gotten quieter over the years. That is called technology advancing. I am certain that is what is happening in your area too. As older planes are retired, the newer, quieter ones that their place. Not much of a conspiracy there, sorry.
One more thing, contrails can ONLY emenate from the jet engine. No conspiracy there, either. Sorry, again.
