Els superconductors no convencionals són materials que mostren una superconductivitat que no s'ajusta ni a la teoria convencional BCS ni a la teoria de Nikolay Bogolyubov ni a les seves extensions.

Les propietats superconductores de CeCu2Si2, un tipus de material fermió pesat, van ser informades el 1979 per Frank Steglich. Durant molt de temps es va creure que CeCu2Si2 era un superconductor d'ona d singlet, però des de mitjans dels anys 2010, aquesta noció ha estat fortament contestada. A principis dels anys vuitanta, es van descobrir molts més superconductors de fermions pesats i no convencionals, inclosos UBe13, UPt3  i URu2Si2. En cadascun d'aquests materials, la naturalesa anisòtropa de l'aparellament estava implicada per la dependència de la llei de potència de la taxa de relaxació de la ressonància magnètica nuclear (RMN) i la capacitat de calor específica sobre la temperatura. La presència de nodes a la bretxa superconductora d'UPt 3 es va confirmar el 1986 a partir de la dependència de la polarització de l'atenuació d'ultrasons.

El primer superconductor triplet no convencional, material orgànic (TMTSF)2PF6, va ser descobert per Denis Jerome, Klaus Bechgaard i col·laboradors el 1980. Els treballs experimentals dels grups de Paul Chaikin i Michael Naughton, així com l'anàlisi teòrica de les seves dades per Andrei Lebed han confirmat fermament la naturalesa no convencional de l'aparellament superconductor en (TMTSF)2 X (X=PF6, ClO4, etc.) materials orgànics.

La superconductivitat d'ona d singlet d'alta temperatura va ser descoberta per JG Bednorz i KA Müller el 1986, que també van descobrir que el material de perovskita cuprat a base de lantà LaBaCuO 4 desenvolupa superconductivitat a una temperatura crítica (Tc) d'aproximadament 35 K (-238 °C graus centígrads ). Això estava molt per sobre de la temperatura crítica més alta coneguda en aquell moment (T c = 23 K), i per tant la nova família de materials es va anomenar superconductors d'alta temperatura. Bednorz i Müller van rebre el premi Nobel de Física per aquest descobriment el 1987. Des de llavors, s'han sintetitzat molts altres superconductors d'alta temperatura.

Q: Can a secondary members of a replica set reside in a different specified zone for the primary member? If I replicate a collection 2 times, have a shard key on a country field, and specify 2 zones for North American countries and European countries, a document with country = America will be routed to the shards in the North American zone for the primary replica, but what about the secondary members of the document with America as its country?

A: Example:
shard1(zone1)-->    PRI(America)   SEC(Africa)   SEC(Europe)
shard2(zone2)-->    SEC(America)   PRI(Africa)   SEC(Europe)
shard3(zone3)-->    SEC(America)   SEC(Africa)   PRI(Europe)

You set zone1=America , zone2=Africa , zone3=Europe and you locate the members as described above per continent ...
When you write from America you will write to zone1 where the PRIMARY(America) is located.
When you read from other continent american data it is best to send the reads with readPreference: "NEAREST" so the app to read from Europe or Africa whatever SECONDARY is closer to avoid the latency for already replicated data to the other locations ...
(This is with the idea to have inter continental  geo-distribution , high availability , redundancy and horizontal scalability  )
Let me know if this example clarified the zones abit? ;)

Q: Is BagOfBagsConcat a necessary UDF? or is it bad form? I've managed to get myself a bag of bags, where each inner bag contains the same form of tuples: {({(cow,30),(monkey,20)}),({}),({(duck,3)})}
So I created a UDF called BagOfBagsConcat that expects as a parameter this exact situation: a single bag that contains homogeneous bags and returns as its output:
{(cow,30),(monkey,20),(duck,3)}
I've looked around and I found only BagConcat in datafu. Is that a sign that this function isn't really necessary and that a bag of bags is just a freak of nature, and I must re-review my pig script?
Thanks, and let me know if I need to specify the pig script that created this in order to be clearer.

A: It's not that uncommon.  We've run into this too so we added a BagUnion to DataFu for the next version.  As you describe it is like BagConcat except it operates on a bag of bags instead of a tuple of bags.

A: oops. sometimes left-join is better than cogroup. This created a bag of bags:
final_output = cogroup final_output by nodeid, new_edges by nodeid1;
final_output = foreach final_output generate flatten($1.hash_id) as hash_id, new_edges;
final_output = cogroup nodes_per_entity by hash_id, final_output by hash_id;

so I changed it to:
final_output = join final_output by nodeid left, new_edges by nodeid1;
final_output = group final_output by hash_id;
final_output = foreach final_output generate group as hash_id,
    final_output.(nodeid1, nodeid2, edge_pit, asset_id1, asset_id2) as new_edges;

and now it's an ordinary bag of tuples (albeit some of them have empty values due to the left join, but that's easier to handle).

Lawsuit: Prison teachers are giving inmates answers to GED exams
Munin Kathawa lost his tutor job after officials said a teacher complained she did not feel safe around him. The teacher denies she ever said that.
Lawsuit: Prison teachers are giving inmates answers to GED exams Munin Kathawa lost his tutor job after officials said a teacher complained she did not feel safe around him. The teacher denies she ever said that. Check out this story on Freep.com: https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2020/01/09/lawsuit-cheating-michigan-prison-ged-exams/2842933001/
Paul Egan, Detroit Free Press Published 6:00 a.m. ET Jan. 9, 2020 | Updated 10:06 a.m. ET Jan. 9, 2020
LANSING — A federal judge in Detroit has given a green light to a lawsuit by a Michigan inmate who alleges officials retaliated against him after he uncovered teacher-assisted cheating on prison high-school equivalency exams.
Munin Kathawa, 57, a prisoner at Cotton Correctional Facility near Jackson, alleges he lost his job as a tutor and was transferred after he complained teachers were providing prisoners with answers so they could pass the General Educational Development (GED) exam.

Kathawa, who is serving a life sentence for a 1988 murder in Macomb County, alleges prison officials moved him out of his job as a tutor after falsely alleging that a teacher, Laura Bendele, had complained she did not feel safe around him.
Bendele, who is not accused of providing students with exam answers, testified in a deposition that she never made such a complaint about Kathawa, though prison officials tried unsuccessfully to pressure her into saying she did. Bendele also testified that she believes officials changed her work assignments because she would not go along with the false story they concocted about Kathawa.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith dismissed a motion for summary judgment brought by five prison officials named as defendants in the case. That means the lawsuit can proceed to trial.
"There is no dispute that Kathawa was an excellent tutor," Goldsmith wrote in a 13-page opinion. "Nonetheless, he was removed from his position."
"A jury could reasonably infer that Kathawa was terminated as retaliation for making comments about the GED program and other matters."
The five defendants — the school principal, the deputy warden, and three other officials connected with the school — deny the allegations.The department itself is not a defendant in the case. Department spokesman Chris Gautz declined comment, citing ongoing litigation.

According to testimony, Kathawa was a tutor in Bendele's classroom from July 2016 to September 2017, where he was passionate about tutoring students with learning disabilities and also spent much of his free time tutoring students in the prison housing units.
In September 2017, school principal Brian Friedman, a Corrections Department employee, shuffled the tutors around and Kathawa was re-assigned to work with teacher Spencer Kinney.
Kathawa alleges that one of Kinney's students who should have barely passed the GED exam scored extremely well on it, and "revealed that Kinney, among others, provided him with the exam answers," according to Goldsmith's summary of the case.
Kathawa, represented by East Lansing attorney Carolyn Koenig, alleges he soon documented at least eight other instances of cheating involving Kinney and at least one other male teacher and "suspected that the number was likely higher and growing."
Between December 2017 and January 2018, Kathawa made several verbal complaints to Friedman about the quality of the GED program, saying it was geared more toward testing than teaching, students were regularly dismissed early and were playing video games in Kinney's classroom, and the environment was not conducive to learning, according to testimony.
Goldsmith said it's not clear from the testimony whether Kathawa raised the issue of cheating in those complaints, but he did raise the cheating in a January 2018 letter to Klint Kesto, who was then a state House representative, and to his nephew, a Catholic priest.
"Students who have taken the test and passed have indicated they received the answers to the GED test," Kathawa wrote Kesto. It's unclear whether Kesto ever saw the letter.
In February 2018, Kathawa asked to be transferred from Kinney's classroom back to Bendele's, noting that other prisoners had sent reports to Friedman telling how much they benefited from Kathawa's tutoring.
Friedman testified that he was concerned by Kathawa's letter and the possibility that Kathawa was manipulating other prisoners to write letters on his behalf. He took his concerns to then Deputy Warden Douglas Smith and then sent an email requesting that Kathawa be removed from his tutor position because of safety and security concerns related to Bendele.
Kathawa lost his tutor job — considered high-paying by prison standards — and was also briefly transferred to another prison. The prisoners involved will not say so publicly, he wrote, but an audit would reveal the cheating because prisoners who scored very poorly on their entrance tests in some cases achieved college-level scores on their GEDs.
Bendele, who is not a party to the case, testified in a deposition that she never expressed concerns about Kathawa, but Smith and Friedman tried to pressure and intimidate her into supporting their story, which she refused to do.
"I felt ganged up on and that I was made to look weak and stupid," Bendele testified.
Friedman told her that if Kathawa won his grievance and got his tutor job back, she would be transferred to another prison, Bendele testified.
She was given a new assignment, splitting her work between multiple prisons, and believes her refusal to go along with the story was the reason that happened, she testified.
Smith said in a July affidavit he recommended Kathawa's removal as a tutor after Friedman told him Bendele had expressed concerns for her safety and after learning Kathawa tried to visit Bendele's classroom, against orders, after his transfer to Kinney's classroom.
Smith said that when he made the recommendation, he was not aware of Kathawa's complaints about the GED program.

The book Atelier 25/35A joins up forty student projects developed during four semesters in the studio Florian Stanciu, at Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urbanism, Bucharest, between 2014-2016 and edited by Oana Grămadă and Cezara Lorenț. Forty projects have been redrawn, redistributed and put under another light in order to better show what is at stake in the studio: regaining the irreductibility of the situations. The selected projects that are showed up in the book do not aim to offer strong, clear answers about how a house should be designed, but they are trying to recognize instead some circumstances and situations, some particularities of the places that define and enrich the quality of living.

Womenpreneur With Both Beauty & Brain – Ankita Valeja
Ambitious, passionate & hard-working, that's how Ankita Valeja describes herself. A small-town girl with big dreams, Ankita entered the fashion industry in 2019 and had her fair share in the success. She stood runner-up in Mrs India 2019 contest and has been a show-stopper for various programs 'For a Cause'. Following her dream to create a name in the fashion industry, Ankita is equally passionate about working for the underprivileged and stand for social causes that could have an impact. Out of the 101 Inspiring Stories, here is Ankita's story – Let's see how she is shaping her dreams and how it can inspire others to follow their heart.
On being asked by Crazy Tales to describe herself, a soft-spoken Ankita considers herself to be an honest, determined & ambitious woman, following her dreams passionately.
Talking about her childhood, Ankita says she had a wonderful childhood (Thanks to my parents) with a lot of memories to Cherish. She recalls how her father once surprised her with a Scooty way back when she was in school. "It was a 'Big Thing' considering I belong to a conservative middle-class family from a small town. There are lot of memories which bring a smile on my face, but this is something what I still cherish".
She feels blessed to have a loving and supportive family. Ankita says "My parents have been a pillar of support – They are the ones who gave wings to my dreams". Though from a conservative family, that never stopped her from doing what she loved and cared for – All because of her parents. Her parents always inspired, motivated and stood by her in every step. A proud daughter, Ankita wishes to make her parents proud through her achievement and support to social causes.
When asked about her personal life, Ankita says "I met my husband during MBA days. After a healthy relation of over 6 years we got married in 2017 and enjoy a very warm relationship". Like her parents, Ankita found a new support system in her husband. She says, " My husband is very supportive and encouraging, which is proved by the fact that I started my modelling career after marriage. A fan and critique at the same time, he never really cared about what people would say when I choose to enter this field.
Talking about her education and professional journey, Ankita completed her schooling from home town Sironj, Madhya Pradesh. She went to Bhopal for graduation and later moved to Pune for her Master degree in business administration. Besides pursuing her dream in the fashion industry, Ankita has climbed the corporate ladder with companies based in Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore.
Ankita Valeja says, during her childhood days she was an introvert kid but has transformed over time. Credit goes to her theatre groups and later getting crowned as Mrs India IMP runner-up further helped her build that confidence. She is now a known face in local circles to be a part of fashion shows and ramp-walks for social causes. Ankita believes that the journey is more beautiful than the destination, to that end she is enjoying the journey for life-long experiences.
Memories with her friends
During her interview with the Crazy Tales, Ankita said she aspires to achieve something big in life and create a name for herself. "Short-term goal is to become an Image Consultant, but over a while, I wish to dedicate a significant amount of time & efforts to help the needy". She is supporting a few NGOs as a volunteer besides being on stage as a show-stopper for charity initiatives.
Her Awards & Recognitions:
Naari Samman Award 2020
Star Achiever's Award 2019
When asked about how life has treated her, She says "Life is a Journey & I am enjoying it". It becomes more meaningful when you are channelling your energy to chase your dreams, make your choices and gain experiences from them. People also play a major part and I am fortunate enough to have kind people around me. In short, life has been kind to me.
Miss & Mrs India Fashion Icon 2019
On being asked about her hobbies, she was instant to answer that she loves travelling. Recalling an instance where she went on a road trip to cover major hill stations in south India with her husband. She says "it was an amazing journey – 8 days, 4 destinations and the best that was covered on a bike". She is also a movie buff – Like a true Bollywood fan, never misses a new release. Andaz Apna Apna, Veer Zara and Toba Tek Singh are among her favourites.
She believes that youth, with their active participation in nation-building, can change its destiny. On being asked for any advice, Ankita says youth should explore their inner self, identify aspirations and channelize all their energy to chase dreams. Ups & Downs are part of the journey – Stay focussed, keep walking, success shall follow.
Talking to Crazy Tales, Ankita speaks about her motto in life – " Make your mark and use that for the benefit of society". She also feels that though women empowerment has become a mainstream subject, but hasn't still made a mark in semi-urban/ rural areas – She wishes to be a part of this change as well.

Lead Member for Adult Social Care and Health
Date of meeting:
Director of Adult Social Care
Household Support Fund
To note the Council's allocation from the Household Support Fund ("the Fund") and agree the development of the scheme to distribute grant funding as set out in the report.
The Lead Member is recommended to approve the proposed use of a proportion of the Household Support Fund and to delegate to the Director of Adult Social Care authority to implement the scheme.
1.1 On 6 October 2021 the government announced the Household Support Fund ("the Fund") to support those most in need this winter. The Fund runs from 6 October 2021 to 31 March 2022. East Sussex County Council has been allocated £3,896,783 grant funding from it.
1.2 More information about the Fund is expected, but the government has set out how the Fund should be allocated according to the following criteria: at least 50% of the total funding must be spent on families with children. In terms of type of support, the expectation is that [the Fund] should primarily be used to support households in the most need with food, energy, and water bills. It can also be used to support households with essential costs related to those items and with wider essential costs. In exceptional cases of genuine emergency, it can additionally be used to support housing costs where existing housing support schemes do not meet this exceptional need. Further information can be found on the government website at: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-launches-500m-support-for-vulnerable-households-over-winter
1.3 The Fund is similar to the Winter Covid Fund Support Grant and the Covid Local Support Fund Grant that were provided to local authorities between December 2020 and the end of September 2021. However, the eligibility criteria for the spending of this grant are more flexible: with more of the Fund being able to be provided to individual adults in households (as opposed to families with children) and funding for 'wider essentials' now included.
2 Supporting information
2.1 The Council is proposing that the Fund is distributed to households in need in a number of ways, creating a multi-faceted approach that aims to provide support to a wide variety of households. As with previous grant schemes the aim is to utilise existing processes and structures as much as possible to both reduce administration costs but also ensure the tight timelines are met.
2.2 This report focuses on work with the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise organisations ("VCSE organisations") and District and Borough Councils. A separate report is being taken to the Lead Member for Children's Services on15 November 2021. This proposes utilising a proportion of the funding to provide food vouchers to eligible free school meal pupils between December 2021 – March 2022. Additionally, that report also seeks approval to directly distribute some of the Fund to vulnerable families and children via Children's Services teams that work with this cohort. This includes young people who are 'care leavers', families supported by social care teams, and those with no recourse to public funds. This would leave circa £1.9 million to be distrusted through VCSE organisations and District and Borough Councils.
2.3 As noted above the Fund is similar in nature to previous short-term Government grants that have been provided during the last 18 months. The Council has been able to collaborate with a wide range of VCSE organisations to ensure the funding has been provided to appropriate individuals and groups at pace. VCSE organisations are adept at working with vulnerable people, who are often not known to statutory services, and can distribute funding rapidly. The model of joint working proved successful for the COVID Winter Support Grant.
2.4 The Council has written to all District and Borough Councils, major VCSE organisations including the Voluntary Actions and Social Housing Providers. Follow up conversations are on-going.
2.5 East Sussex County Council has received over £1million in offers of assistance as to how the Fund could best reach residents in need from the VCSE. These are being considered for eligibility, quality and whether they can be delivered on time. This will also include an assessment that there is a consistent geographic spread across the county as well as reaching people from all the protected characteristics most in need.
2.6 By way of example, the types of suggested use of the funding include support to food banks, local food pantries/fridges, warm home initiatives, fuel vouchers, support for utility bills and white goods.
2.7 Work is underway with all District and Borough Councils to develop and implement a Discretionary Support Scheme. This would look to allow residents in cases of extreme hardship to apply for funding to meet a range of household bills. The principles of a scheme are being agreed, the detailed work as to how to implement it is a priority. At the point of drafting this report it is expected that this would include an application process.
2.8 Reporting, as for all expenditure within the Fund, would have to meet Government requirements. An officer working group with representation from all District and Borough Councils alongside the Council has been established to lead this element of the project.
2.9 Experience gained from the last few grants given with tight timelines for development and implementation have highlighted the need for flexibility as to how the scheme operates. The time available to develop proposals means that there is always a need to tweak allocations and be realistic as to what organisations can achieve. As such all funding provided to partners is provided with clawback mechanisms based on a timetable of allocations to ensure the funding reaches East Sussex residents and isn't returned to Government.
2.10 As with the previous COVID Winter Grant, organisations are able to recoup reasonable administration fees for the delivery of this scheme. All organisations are made aware of this and where necessary this is reported within returns to Government.
2.11 To ensure delivery of the scheme by the end of March 2022 an officer working group consisting of officers from the Councils Adult Social Care & Health and Children's Services has been formed. This group also coordinated the previous COVID Winter Grant Scheme.
2.12 An Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) of the scheme in its entirety is being carried out, which will ensure that the full range of funding meets the Council's equality duties. At this stage, any negative impacts arising from the proposed administration of the Fund are yet to be identified. We are working to ensure that we are able to collect better demographic data about the beneficiaries during the rollout of this scheme. The full EIA can only be completed once the final scheme has been constructed.
3. Conclusion and reasons for recommendations
3.1 The Fund provides an opportunity to support East Sussex families and individuals who are experiencing financial challenges.
3.2 The creation of a multi-faceted scheme working with VCSE organisations and District and Borough Councils allows the Council to support residents in a targeted manner, supporting residents not in contact with statutory agencies and the discretionary element creates an additional safety net for residents who may not already receiving support.
3.3 The timetable for implementation necessities broad delegation to be provided to the Director of Adult Social Care to finalise, implement and adjust the scheme as necessary.

On the Importance of the Qat'muk Declaration

For over 20 years, the Ktunaxa Nation has opposed the Jumbo Glacier Resort development proposed in Qat'muk, core territory of the Ktunaxa Nation and home to the grizzly bear spirit. Patagonia recognizes and affirms the Ktunaxa Nation's responsibility to protect Qat'muk and the grizzly bear spirit through the Qat'muk Declaration, which outlines the spiritual significance of Qat'muk and is an expression of Ktunaxa sovereignty and stewardship principles.
November 15th marked the sixth anniversary of the Qat'muk Declaration. In support of the Declaration, as well as to signify the importance of the relationship between Patagonia and Ktunaxa Nation, we invite you to read this special message from the Ktunaxa Nation about the importance of Qat'muk.

Ktunaxa Nation Statement
Kiʔsuk kyukyit!
Hu sukiǂk̓uqni nawsanmiyitki
Hu qakǂik nupqu ʔak·ǂam̓
Hu qakǂik Troy Sebastian
I am happy to be here with you.
My name is Troy Sebastian.
I am from the Ktunaxa community of ʔaq'am located on the western slopes of the Rocky Mountains in south eastern British Columbia. Our territory—Ktunaxa ʔamakʔis—includes parts of Montana and Idaho as well as areas in British Columbia and Alberta.
Ktunaxa have a committed relationship of reciprocity, respect and reverence to Ktunaxa ʔamakʔis and in particular, a sacred area known as Qat'muk. Qat'muk is the home of kǂawǂa tukǂuǂak?is (grizzly bear spirit) and is the place where they go to dance. Grizzly bear has a central role in Ktunaxa spiritual beliefs and practices. We Ktunaxa know this as we have lived in Ktunaxa ʔamakʔis since creation.
For more than thirty years, Qat'muk has been under threat from a proposed ski resort. The project, known as the Jumbo Glacier Resort, intends to put a 6250 bed ski resort on a receding glacier, in critical grizzly bear habitat. It would be located an hour up the road from another ski resort. The project has faced opposition from the local community since it was first proposed and you can check out Patagonia's great film Jumbo Wild for more information on that.
November 15th marked the sixth anniversary of the Ktunaxa Nation's Qat'muk Declaration. It was declared in Ktunaxa territory in 2010 and hand delivered to the government of British Columbia that year. With the Qat'muk Declaration, the Ktunaxa Nation decided to share with the world the importance of the area to our nation and to grizzly bear. It is an unprecedented public affirmation of the sacred nature of the area. After generations of cultural, religious and political interference by the state and the church, Ktunaxa resolved to stand our ground for Qat'muk, for our sacred teachings and to tell the world of its importance.
Subsequent to the Qat'muk Declaration, we produced a short documentary in 2011 called Where Grizzly Bear Goes to Dance. The film outlines the importance of Qat'muk to Ktunaxa as well as to other peoples living in Ktunaxa ʔamakʔis and marked the beginning of an annual summer gathering in Qat'muk of prayers, feasting and offering by Ktunaxa in support of the Declaration.
Unfortunately, in 2012 the government of British Columbia approved the Jumbo Glacier Resort. Later that year, Ktunaxa Nation took the province to court challenging the project's approval on a number of grounds. Ktunaxa and others say that the project is a threat to grizzly bears. We also believe that the project threatens our connection with grizzly bear spirit and thereby to our spiritual beliefs and practices dependent upon that spirit. Therefore, the project's approval represents a violation of Ktunaxa religious freedom rights protected under Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to hear this aspect of our case. This represents a major breakthrough for indigenous peoples in Canada as we have been unable to raise indigenous religious freedoms as a means of protecting our rights previously. Our legal remedies have predominately been under section 35 of the constitution.
Our case is not only very significant for our nation, but it raises the question of what kind of country does Canada want to be: a country committed to reconciliation and respect of indigenous culture or a country that continues to disregard indigenous peoples and desecrate sacred areas?
In our efforts to protect Qat'muk, Ktunaxa Nation has found strong support in organizations and communities who share common interest in protecting wild spaces. Patagonia is at the lead of that effort. Through the development and promotion of the film Jumbo Wild, to the affirmation of support for the Qat'muk Declaration, Patagonia is showing how responsible corporations effect change in the new century.
Ktunaxa Nation appreciates this support and encourages others to join us in protecting Qat'muk and uphold grizzly bear spirit. Please follow us through the host of social media options listed below.
With our case going to the Supreme Court of Canada on December 1, your acknowledgement and support would assist Ktunaxa in raising public awareness. By sharing this article and the associated links, you are raising critical awareness of the importance of Qat'muk, as well as the upcoming Supreme Court case, to your friends and colleagues.
In closing, I want to offer a reflection that I found very powerful. Recently, in a meeting, an elder and leader of our nation reminded us that Qat'muk is a real place, that grizzly bear spirit is real and that grizzly bear is our brother and we must protect our family. It was a timely and special statement that I have decided to share with you in hopes that you too will believe in Qat'muk. It is a real place, it does exist and we invite you to support our efforts.
Thank you so much for receiving this message and thanks to Patagonia for their continued support.
In the spirit of Qat'muk,
Troy Sebastian
