Metatarsalgia is a broad term meaning pain at the ball of the foot. This pain can be very specific and localized. Pain on the plantar aspect (bottom) of the first metatarsal head can be sesamoiditis. Pain at the second, third, fourth, and fifth is usually pressure metatarsalgia. Metatarsalgia can be caused by, abnormal biomechanics, muscle imbalances, or ligament laxaties. Pressure metatarsalgia occurs when fore foot weight bearing is mal-distributed. The metatarsals can fall out of normal alignment and one or several can sit lower than the other metatarsal heads and bear an excessive amount of weight and pressure. Imagine a table with five legs, one on each corner and one in the middle which is longer than the other four on the corners. The table will be high centered on the middle or fifth leg. This leg will bear an excessive amount of weight and pressure. The natural fat pads under the metatarsal heads that normally cushions and protects them gradually wear out. The end result is walking on bone.
Sometimes the fat pad can shift forward and impinge on nerves and cause a numb, tingly, or aching feeling in the toes. Without the natural fat pad present, a battle takes place between the insole of the shoe and the metatarsal head bones, and the skin is caught in the middle. This can cause plantar callosities than can be very large and painful. Sometimes there are no calluses at all. Another common symptom is the feeling of walking on a rock or pebble inside your shoe at the ball of the foot. With pressure metatarsaglia it is usually more painful to walk bare foot and more comfortable with your shoes on. Going barefoot on a hard floor such as tile or wood is very uncomfortable. Cushion insoles can offer limited relief. This will usually last for only a short time.
A custom orthotic to properly distribute weight evenly over the entire plantar surface of the foot will work the best. The orthotic must address biomechanical concerns because excessive pronation usually contributes to pressure metatarsalgia. Good medial longitudinal support and transverse metatarsal arch support is an absolute necessity. The natural fat pad under the heads of the metatarsal bones must also be replaced to absorb shock and shearing forces. We use a medical grade silicone or a professional quality viso-elastic polymer gel within the orthotic to cushion and protect this area. A stretching exercise program and toe grasping exercises should be started as soon as possible. Low heeled shoes with a broad toe box and firm heel counters should be worn. The shoes should have a removable insole to accommodate the custom orthotic. Avoid high-heeled shoes. Ask your health care professional what will work best for you.

They Invented Machines1997
Directed by Stephanie Barber
THEY INVENTED MACHINES is about colonialism, entertainment and love. The images are taken mostly on Disney World rides where one is shown facsimiles of people from far away lands. The soundtrack, a little more than half-way through, ceases its cricketing and, against impressionistic waterfalls, mentions love ("they have love here") which must then be thought of in the context of this same wonder, possession and amusement. The film ends with a series of flights.

Haunting. Imagine a tourist's photographs captured, dissected, deconstructed. The final image - the "fights" mentioned in the description, are first beautiful, then terrifying.

I thought it was fantastic. I've always appreciated the Visual Music found in the manipulation of found footage. The Europeans, Tscherkassky, Fruhauf, and Arnold, have produced excellent work in this realm.

Unless Barber is from some alien part of America that is disconnected from the rest of her country, the description of this piece makes no sense and has no context. It isn't a "culture jamming" piece as much as it is a Dadaist film. There is no significant subverting of the images here, nor are there any clear references of colonialism within the film. Simply stating that the piece makes a certain statement does not make it so. The context of that statement needs to appear in the piece, and if it's not there, that is a failure of the artist. The message of love must have been extraordinarily subtle, because I didn't catch it at all. Once again, her work shows detached distance, and only seems to express that. If that is the goal, then it is a success.

Der Steppengras- oder Wurzel-Stielporling (Picipes rhizophilus, Syn.: Polyporus rhizophilus) ist eine in Deutschland sehr seltene Pilzart aus der Familie der Stielporlingsverwandten (Polyporaceae). Die Fruchtkörper sind kaum größer als 3 cm und erscheinen am Wurzelballen alter Büschel diverser Steppengräser.

Merkmale

Makroskopische Merkmale
Der Steppengras-Stielporling bildet recht kleine Fruchtkörper. Der 1–3(–4) cm breite Hut ist rundlich, zunächst gewölbt und später flach oder bisweilen etwas nabelartig eingedrückt. Der Rand ist scharf abgesetzt bis etwas eingerollt und bisweilen schwach buchtig-gelappt. Eingetrocknete Fruchtkörper erscheinen im Alter oft unregelmäßig verbogen. Die anfangs weißliche, dann blass ocker- bis cremefarbene Huthaut ist glatt bis schwach-runzelig und fein samtig beschaffen. Sie unterscheidet sich nur wenig vom Hutfleisch. Die weiße bis blass cremefarbene Huttrama ist lediglich 2–4 mm dick, am Rand dünner und hat eine lederig-fleischige Konsistenz. Seltener deutet die Oberfläche vergilbte Schuppen an. Die Röhren auf der Hutunterseite sind zunächst weiß und später cremefarben bis schmutzig dottergelb gefärbt. Sie sind 1–1,5(–2) mm lang und am Hutansatz sowie -rand entsprechend kürzer. Die gleichfarbigen Mündungen fallen mit 0,5–1 x 0,25–0,5 mm ziemlich groß aus; pro mm² finden meist 3–4 Poren Platz. Die Poren sind unregelmäßig elliptisch-kantig bis wabig geformt und laufen weit, teilweise bis zur Basis am Stiel herab. Rauschert erinnert das Aussehen an den Rötenden Saftwirrling (Abortiporus biennis). Der (1–)2–2,5(–3) cm lange und (2–)3–5(–6) mm dicke Stiel ist zentral bis exzentrisch am Hut angewachsen. Er ist oft etwas verbogen, vollfleischig und seltener etwas hohl. Die Stielbasis ist mäßig verdickt und sitzt auf den bodennahen bis flach unterirdischen abgestorbenen Teilen der Steppengräser auf. Die Stielrinde ist glatt, zum Hut hin weißlich und von der Basis her schwärzlich berußt bis schwarzbraun gefärbt.

Mikroskopische Merkmale
Das Hyphensystem ist dimitisch. Die generativen Hyphen sind dünnwandig, 3-5(-7) Mikrometer breit und besitzen Schnallen an den Septen. Die Skeletthyphen sind dickwandig, verzweigt und messen 2-5 μm im Durchmesser. Zystiden fehlen. An den 15–28 x 4,5–6 µm großen, keuligen und hyalinen Basidien reifen elliptische bis spindelige und an der Basis etwas schief zugespitzte Sporen heran. Diese sind ebenfalls hyalin, glattwandig und meist mit 1(–2) Öltropfen gefüllt. Die in der Literatur angegebenen Sporenmaße (Zitat Rauschert) weichen voneinander ab:

Ökologie und Phänologie

Der Steppengras-Stielporling lebt an der Basis alter Büschel diverser Steppengräser. Als Substrate nennt Rauschert Arten der Gattung Federgräser (Stipa), besonders das Haar-Pfriemgras (Stipa capillata), daneben Stipa joannis, das Gelbscheidige Federgras (Stipa pulcherrima), Stipa lessingiana, die Graugrüne Quecke (Elymus hispidus) und weitere Queckenarten (Elymus sp.), das Gewöhnliche Bartgras (Bothriochloa ischaeum), das Gewöhnliche Hundszahngras (Cynodon dactylon) und die Fingerhirse (Digitaria sp.). Rauschert selbst fand die Fruchtkörper des Steppen-Stielporlings an Walliser Schaf-Schwingel (Festuca valesiaca). Ob der Pilz darauf parasitisch oder rein saprobiontisch lebt, ist unklar. Die Art bewohnt wie ihre Wirtsgräser Steppen und Trockenrasen.

Die Fruchtkörper erscheinen im Spätherbst oder zeitigen Frühjahr.

Verbreitung
Der Steppengras-Stielporling ist eine Art der trockenwarmen Steppengebiete und kommt in der eurasischen Steppenzone und in Nordafrika (Algerien – die Herkunft des Typusmaterials) vor. Er wurde in Deutschland (Raum Merseburg – der westlichste Fundort), der Schweiz, Ungarn, Tschechien, der Slowakei, Russland, der Ukraine und Kasachstan gefunden.

Саламаново или Саламанли (, Галикос, катаревуса: Γαλλικόν, Галикон, до 1926 година Σαλαμανλή, Саламанли) е село в Егейска Македония, Гърция, дем Кукуш, област Централна Македония с 1135 жители (2001).

География
Селото е разположено южно от Кукуш (Килкис), в Солунското поле.

История
На 500 m източно от железопътната линия и от селото е открито праисторическо селище от късната бронзова и желязната епоха, обявено в 1987 и 1996 година за защитен паметник.

В Османската империя
В XIX век Саламаново е българско село в каза Аврет Хисар (Кукуш) на Османската империя. В "Етнография на вилаетите Адрианопол, Монастир и Салоника", издадена в Константинопол в 1878 година и отразяваща статистиката на мъжкото население от 1873 година, Салманово (Salmanovo) е посочено като селище в каза Аврет Хисар (Кукуш) с 36 домакинства, като жителите му са 162 българи. Според статистиката на Васил Кънчов ("Македония. Етнография и статистика") в 1900 година селото има 150 жители, всички българи християни.

Населението на селото е под върховенството на Българската екзархия. По данни на секретаря на Екзархията Димитър Мишев ("La Macédoine et sa Population Chrétienne") в 1905 година Саламаново (Salamanovo) е село в Кукушка каза с 240 души българи екзархисти.

При избухването на Балканската война в 1912 година 3 души от Саламаново са доброволци в Македоно-одринското опълчение.

В Гърция
След Междусъюзническата война в 1913 година селото попада в Гърция. В 1926 година името на селото е променено на Галикон по името на наблизо минаващата река Галик.

ADB approves US$121 million loan for Uzbekistan rail network modernization
Project aimed at boosting trade and tourism with Central Asian neighbours
18 Nov 2020 | Michael Marray
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a US$121 million loan to Uzbekistan to complete the modernization of the railway network in its eastern regions. The loan is an addition to ADB's US$80 million financing approved in 2017 to help electrify 145.1 kilometres of railway track between the cities of Pap, Namangan and Andijan in the Fergana Valley of Uzbekistan.
The modernization of the eastern Uzbekistan railway network is expected to boost tourism and trade between Uzbekistan and its neighbours, as it is part of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Programme's Corridor 2. The CAREC Programme, established in 1997 by the ADB, is aimed at encouraging economic cooperation among countries in the Central Asian region.
Uzbekistan's railway link in Fergana Valley is also considered as a vital part of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway project, which at present uses road transport on one of its sections.
In June this year a launching ceremony was held for the first China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan freight train running from Lanzhou, in northwest China's Gansu province, to Tashkent.
The freight train connects through Dongchuan to Kashgar in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The goods are then transferred to trucks to be moved from Kashgar to Osh in Kyrgyzstan. The trucks connect with the rail link between Osh and the city of Tashkent, Uzbekistan.


When drilling equipment is available, it is very tempting to get right to work drilling wells. However, wells should be carefully sited (Appendix D) so that drilling only occurs where there is a high probability of successfully penetrating into water-bearing formations and the wells can be effectively used, maintained (Section 17), and protected from contamination. While every borehole will not result in a good well, advanced planning with the community (Appendix R) will maximize the number of successful wells and minimize drilling costs.
In order to successfully site water wells, those involved must know something about the places where underground water occurs and how it got there (see Appendix C).
Aerial photographs, geologic reports, well logs and topographic maps are useful in studying these factors (see Section 2.9). Where available, specialists should be enlisted to use geophysical techniques to define subsurface conditions(1). This is most important in areas where air photo coverage and hydrogeological information are inadequate, where local rainfall is less than 700 mm/yr (White, 1987) and where adequate water supplies are only available in rock (Dijon, 1981). Usually, however, the best source of well siting information is talking to people who have dug local water wells and personal inspection of water wells in the area. Although this can be time consuming, it is very important and contributes to an understanding of local subsurface conditions and selection of the best place for successful water wells.
Where dug wells exist, it is possible to determine the depth to water, geology and expected water quantity and quality. The history of old wells will indicate how far down the water table drops during dry seasons and will indicate how deep new wells must be. In general, the LS-100 mud rotary drill rig should only be used in areas where people are getting their water from hand dug water wells (less than 40 meters deep). Only after numerous water wells are drilled this way should drilling be attempted in areas where little information is available or where subsurface conditions (impermeable clay, hard rock, etc.) have prevented the construction of hand dug water wells.
If existing dug wells will be disinfected (Section 15) and continue to be used, the new well should be drilled as far away as possible to ensure that both wells will produce sufficient amounts of drinking water without interfering with one another (drawing water from the same part of the aquifer).
The amount of water supplied by an aquifer (water bearing formation) is as important as its quality. The only way to know exactly how much water is available is by pumping wells (Section 10.3). However, a rough estimate of yield can be made by identifying the soil and rock which comprise the aquifer.
Most sand and gravel deposits contain significant amounts of drinking water. However, the amount of water which can actually be pumped depends on how thick these deposits are and their permeability (how easy it is for water to flow through it). In general, the larger the grain size and the thicker the deposit, the higher the yield of the aquifer.
Unfortunately, the LS-100 cannot effectively drill past boulders (loose rocks greater than 10 cm in diameter) or through loose gravel greater than 1-2 cm diameter (it is very difficult to keep the borehole from collapsing and it is hard to carry the gravel up and out of the borehole). It is, therefore, important to inspect existing wells and valley sides, cliff faces, quarries, etc. to determine if there are boulders or coarse gravel present.
Try to avoid siting and developing wells in shallow sand and gravel deposits if the water table is less than 3 meters below surface. Under these conditions, waste water can easily infiltrate back down to the water table near the well and contaminate the drinking water supply.
Wells constructed in silt or clay soils will have very low yields regardless of how they are constructed. To compensate for this, large diameter water wells should be carefully dug so that large volumes of water can slowly accumulate in the well casing over time and provide sufficient quantities when required.
Finally, limestone, sandstone or quartzitic rock may also yield adequate quantities of water. Best yields are found where there is a thick zone of weathered rock with many cracks (fractures) (Dijon, 1981). In general, fine grained rocks, such as shale, do not serve as productive aquifers. Also, the LS-100 cannot effectively drill through cemented stone layers or hard rock like granite or gneiss. Therefore, if there are hard rock layers greater than 1 to 2 meters thick in the vicinity of the proposed drilling location, a different drill rig is needed.
During the dry season, survey for indications of groundwater by looking at the alignment of ant mounds and green vegetation in the midst of an arid landscape. Annual plants, such as grasses and ferns, are not good indicators because they come and go with the seasons. However, year-round reeds and broad leaf trees and shrubs like cedar and willow tend to grow where water is close to the surface. Some water indicator trees in West Africa are Daniella (Daniella olivieri), Kapok (Ceiba pentandra) and Baobao (Adansonia digitata).
The water table commonly follows the land surface (see Figure 1). While the lowest areas (valley bottoms or depressions where water accumulates after rains) are generally the best places to drill (Dijon, 1981), ensure that the site has good access, is not subject to flooding and is not close to where contaminated surface water ponds. The presence of water bearing fracture zones may be detected by surface features such as shallow linear depressions and abrupt changes in valley alignment. Often these features are difficult to see in the field but become apparent when viewed from the air.
Successful wells are often drilled near rivers; groundwater may be available even if the river is temporarily dry (Figure 2). Reliable wells have even been located near broad sandy riverbeds which are active once every 5-10 years (Dijon, 1981). Water taken from wells located at least 15 m from a river is usually cleaner and cooler than water taken from the river. If the well water remains turbid after construction, the soils may be providing inadequate filtration and contaminated river water may be entering the well.
Look for springs since they indicate the presence of a water bearing formation (aquifer). A well can often be successfully drilled just uphill of the spring. Animal trails often lead to seeps and springs.
Dendritic or branching patterns with a large number of tributaries are typical of drainage in areas of impermeable crystalline rock such as gneiss. Parallel drainage patterns may develop in areas with linear water bearing structures such as faults and dikes.
100 Garbage dumps/refuse piles, car repair or fuel (petrol) sales outlets, industrial operations/storage facilities etc.
Locate wells upgradient (uphill) of nearby potential sources of pollution (i.e., the land should NOT slope from pollution sources towards water wells). If this can not be avoided, try to locate wells as far to the side of the slope as possible (i.e., not directly downslope of possible contaminant sources).
Issues of accessibility to well should be clearly addressed in the Community Water Supply Agreement (see Appendix R). Wells should be as close as possible to houses because people use a lot less water if wells are located far from their home. Usage drops from 40 litres per day (lpd) per person when water is supplied in the yard down to 15 lpd for sources 200 m away; this rate holds fairly constant for distances up to 1,000 meters (Cairncross, 1987). Only when water wells are located more than 1 km from home does the water consumption rate drop again, often declining to less than 7 lpd(2). This means that the most significant benefits (arising from increased water consumption) occur when water wells replace old water sources which were further than one kilometer away (Cairncross, 1987)(3)!
Another factor in preparing Well Development Plans is to determine how many wells are needed to serve the population. When more than 300 people use one handpump, there will be significant waiting lines to get water.
Ensure that the site is accessible year-round and that the access route to the water well is not susceptible to flooding. Finally, ensure that the site has legal access which is acceptable to users from a societal standpoint. Land ownership law is usually different than what we are used to and requires careful consideration. Having a water well on someone's property enhances its value and therefore a formal arrangement for access needs to be clearly made before the well is drilled.
A map of the village and surrounding area should be prepared. Add to the map all relevant features such as houses, animal pens, pit toilets, rivers, swampy areas, garbage disposal areas and indicate the direction in which the land slopes (see Figure 4). Draw all possible well sites on the map and select the best site (try a siting exercise - Appendix D).
There is rarely an ideal location and the relative advantages and disadvantages of each site must be weighed. The people that will be using the well and the drillers must together decide which site is best for the community. Since selecting the best site is a matter of judgement and experience, it always helps to seek assistance from hydrogeologists - while their investigation may be time consuming and add some cost to the drilling project, it will help ensure that a site is selected which will provide a safe, abundant supply of drinking water.
USGS documents which pre-date 1981 can be obtained from the National Technical Information Service (703-487-4600). They require the NTIS number or the complete document title.
The United Nations Reference Library (Map Section) in New York is also a good source of information (212-963-0536). Delivery only available through regular mail.
The Library of Congress (Mapping Section) in Washington DC has many hydrogeological reports and maps for developing countries (202-707-6277). Requests must be made in person or in writing (response time to written search requests is very slow: 2-3 weeks); additional time is required for delivery.
Hydrogeological reports for many countries of the world are available from the National Groundwater Association (NGWA) Information Centre at 3675 Riverside Dr, Dublin OH, 43107 (800-332-2104). There is an on-line search facility available for a fee; credit card payment and overnight delivery service are available. There is a minimum $12 base fee for retrieving up to 20 pages (extra fee/page for additional pages).
1 Well siting success improved from 50-60 % (based on site reconnaissance and air photo interpretation) to over 90 percent when geophysical technology is used (White, 1987). Geophysical surveys employ instruments that quickly and cheaply measure the physical properties of soil and rock (density, magnetism, electrical conductivity, radioactivity etc.). Geophysical surveys can be very useful in locating water-bearing fault zones, in finding an adequate thickness of overburden or weathered bedrock, and in assessing the depth to the water table (see Hazell et al., 1992 and Reynolds, 1987). Success depends on the application of appropriate techniques, having enough time to do the investigation, and having the equipment operated and the results interpreted by trained geologists (Driscoll, 1986). In some countries, the government provides geophysical surveys as a service.
2 For design purposes, 5 lpd is the minimum consumption level and 25 lpd is an acceptable goal in places where piped connections to individual houses are not feasible (Brush, 197?). It should be noted that the amount of water needed may be much higher if livestock require water and if well water is to be used for irrigate gardens.
3 Education is crucial. Unless people understand the benefits clean water can bring, they will not make effective use of a new well and it may have little benefit (Brush, 197?)! Education is also important for on-going well maintenance; if people see clean water as being vital to them, they will be willing to occasionally spend a little time and money to keep their water supply safe and functioning reliably (Brush, 197?).

People often choose those that are closest to them to help positively influence their children's lives in the role of a godparent - and celebrities are the same.
Many phenomenally famous stars chose their celebrity pals to become godparents to their children.
Here are some of the most surprising celebrity godparents:
Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus
Country legend Dolly Parton is godmother to pop singer Miley Cyrus.
Music icon Dolly is incredibly close with Miley's dad, Achy Breaky Heart singer Billy Ray Cyrus, and he chose to make the Jolene singer godmother to Miley.
Dolly even put in an appearance on Hannah Montana, the Disney Channel show which catapulted Miley into the limelight.
Joan Collins and Cara Delevingne
Hollywood actress and author Joan Collins is the godmother of supermodel turned actress Cara Delevingne.
Joan has been close friends with Cara's parents Pandora and Charles for decades and was chosen as her godmother when Cara was born.

Screen icon Joan told Tatler magazine of Cara's younger years and said: "Cara was an amazing child. Her favourite expression was 'mine'. That's the youngest of three, 'mine, mine'."
Cara has praised her godmother on social media and once said on Instagram: "So proud of my godmother!! Joan Collins! Legend!"
Jamie Lee Curtis and Jake Gyllenhaal
'Scream queen' Jamie Lee Curtis was born into Hollywood as the daughter of actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.
The Halloween legend is also a celebrity godmother to Jake Gyllenhaal, after being involved with the family since the Brokeback Mountain actor was very young.
Steven Spielberg, Gwyneth Paltrow and Drew Barrymore
Actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Drew Barrymore share a famous godfather.
The leading ladies have world-renowned director Steven Spielberg as their godfather.
Spielberg is well known for directing big hits including Jaws, Schindler's List and E.T - which starred Drew Barrymore when she was a child.
Marilyn Manson and Lily-Rose Depp
Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp has been close friends with rocker Marilyn Manson for many years.
The Tainted Love singer was chosen to be godfather to Johnny's model daughter, Lily-Rose.
Elton John and Brooklyn Beckham
British music icon Elton John is the godfather of Victoria and David Beckham's oldest son, Brooklyn.
Elton, 73, has known the Beckham family for decades.
In an interview with Vogue, Victoria revealed Elton was the inspiration behind her decision to leave the Spice Girls in her past.
At the time, she said: "I was with Elton John this weekend and I told him, 'you're the reason why I stopped the Spice Girls.'
"I remember sitting there very near to the front and looking at him singing those songs he'd sung time after time, year after year, and his passion and his enjoyment was incredible, even after all that time."

Today, it seems that not only human beings, but also human rights themselves are on the run. How can we ensure a human rights-based approach to migratory challenges? How can we deal with terrorist threats while simultaneously ensuring the full respect of human rights? What are the key elements of long-term strategies to integration?


General belief is that when people are educated they tend to rise above race and religion. They link up in many ways and find common grounds for friendships that last long. All that is in their private lives and when it comes to politics they cannot afford to be so at least openly because that kind of behavior will not get them more votes.
This was well articulated by the former President Mahinda Rajapaksa when he met a group of journalists form the Tamil media organizations recently. When a journalist raised the issue of alleged racist statements made by Northern Province chief minister C V Wigneswaran, Rajapaksa said that the chief minister he knew was not racist, but one must not forget that he is doing politics. Thus he admitted that racism is part of Sri Lankan politics.
All that shows that racism, communalism and even religion are important factors when one has to play politics. In politics, hardly anyone seems to be honest but they know how to play these emotive issues in a way to get the maximum support from the people. So much so even Donald Trump has been accused of using racist talk in order to increase his vote base.
But is there any justification to continue using these racist sentiments in a country which has suffered enough due to racist and divisive politics? Thirty years of war, blood bath and destruction of both assets and economic opportunity and the present plight of the country are all examples too defined to prove the negative impact of racism and divisive politics on our country.
In every multi-racial country there is a racist political fringe, but major political parties cannot afford to be openly racist as they need everybody's vote to succeed in politics. However a small party or a regional party can afford to take a communal or racist line and that is why C V Wigneswaran, despite his education and background as a former Supreme Court judge, has suddenly thought of playing on racist and divisive sentiments of the people to upgrade his political standing among the northern folks. His behaviour has unfortunately has provided much needed fodder for the chauvinistic elements in the south who were bankrupt for slogans.
But the real issue before the country at this critical juncture of rebuilding and reconciliation is how to stop the new wave of racism in politics especially when the key politicians behave in an irresponsible manner creating a fertile ground for communal politics. Rise of communalism will only further divide the country on lines of ethnicity, religion and language while the nation will move away from a constitutional solution or any kind of reconciliation.
