Non-GAAP Financial Information:
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company uses EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share as supplemental measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies, to make budgeting decisions and to compare its performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. In addition, the Company uses adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate performance in connection with compensation decisions. Management believes it is useful to investors and analysts to evaluate these non-GAAP measures on the same basis as management uses to evaluate the Company's operating results. Management believes that excluding items from operating income, net income and net income per diluted share that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the Company's core operating results, and that may vary in frequency or magnitude, enhances the comparability of the Company's results and provides additional information for analyzing trends in the business.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses ("EBITDA") and adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense, non-cash rent, asset impairment and gain or loss on disposition, provision for accounts receivable reserves and certain other expenses that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the Company's core operating results, and that may vary in frequency or magnitude. Adjusted net income represents net income adjusted for the previously mentioned adjusted EBITDA adjustments, further adjusted for costs related to amortization of purchase accounting assets and deferred financing costs, tax adjustment to normalize the effective tax rate, and tax effect of total adjustments. Basic adjusted earnings per share is calculated using adjusted net income, as defined above, and basic weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted adjusted earnings per share is calculated using adjusted net income, as defined above, and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. The Company addresses the limitations of the non-GAAP measures through the use of various GAAP measures. In the future the Company will incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate adjusted EBITDA or adjusted net income. The presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by the adjustments used to derive these non-GAAP measures.
The Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share forward-looking guidance included in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to taxes and non-recurring items, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
Forward-Looking Statements:
This news release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this release other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, business and market trends, our objectives for future operations and macroeconomic conditions may constitute forward-looking statements.

Since I was elected in 2010 I have made it a priority to improve our area's rail links. This is key to boosting the local economy and attracting jobs and investment.
Currently it takes far too long to travel along the coast and to make journeys to London. To change this I have been campaigning for improvements to the Marsh Link and for high speed services from London to Hastings, Rye and onto Bexhill.
Every year I hold a transport summit where government ministers and industry leaders present on service improvements, and they hear from the local community on where more can be done.
In addition, I have convened a High Speed Rail Working Group which meets regularly in Westminster. The group is made up of local MPs, council leaders, the Local Enterprise Partnership and business and development leaders with the aim of speaking with a clear and unified voice to make the case for High Speed Rail to Network Rail and the Government.
A draft study of the South East's rail requirements has been published alongside a consultation on what the next Southeastern franchise should deliver. Both documents contain options for High Speed Rail, and they can be read below.
Decisions on investment will be made over the next couple of years with work to start on the chosen projects soon after. I am focused on ensuring that the case for investment in our project is as strong as possible.
This campaign is always high on my agenda and I am working with colleagues in Parliament, government and local leaders to make sure Hastings and Rye will enjoy the benefits of quick, efficient and modern rail services.
Hastings residents are to receive a better rail service, according to local MP Amber Rudd.
She says expected changes to timetables will have a positive impact on the trains in the area.
Last Friday 14 September, Amber Rudd hosted her fifth Hastings Rail Summit.
Local MP Amber Rudd MP met with the Chair of Hastings Sustainable Travel Forum, Mr Ian Sier and Mr Tony Polain from Hastings Greenway Group to discuss the proposed Ore Valley Greenway routes for walking and cycling.
Amber recently met with local rail user groups to discuss what improvements they felt could be made to deliver the best services possible to residents.
Amber Rudd, MP for Hastings and Rye has opposed the recent announcement that rail prices will increase by 3.2%. Rail industry leaders have said the fares are underpinning a once in a generation investment into rail services.
Following the introduction of the May 2018 timetable, there was a great deal of disruption caused for passengers particularly in the South East and the North of England.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling has announced £2 million to improve transport and connectivity in the South East of England. The funding has been awarded to local regions to create transport strategies to improve connectivity and drive economic growth.
As one of many residents who commutes between London and Hastings, I can understand why constituents approach me to voice their concerns about train services.
Life-saving heart restarters have been fitted to over 50 stations across Sussex through a partnership between The Sussex Heart Charity (SHC) and Southern, owned and operated by Govia Thameslink Railway.


Their emotional core is what pushes them to create the lives that they want and map out the world they want to live in. And these are definitely qualities to cherish in a world of increasingly selfish and inflexible relationships.
Indeed, Pisceans feel very deeply about other people as they do not have a strong sense of free dating sites costa rica and individuality. Pisces are old souls that are very artistic, creative, and intelligent.
My Final Thoughts on Pisces, Dating and Romantic Compatibility Being with a Pisces will definitely not be a walk in the park, but it will definitely be one of the best decisions you can ever make in your life. She might almost be clingy and dependent but never overbearingly.
I've discovered the following: Those born from February 20 to March 20 are considered Pisces individuals. Not everyone can carry that off. What she demands from a man in return is protection and cherishing.
They really adore the feeling of merging with another person mentally just as much as physically — I know what all of you Scorpios are thinking and, in fact, this is one of the classic astrological matches. Pisces surf the wave of emotions with crests of compassion and troughs of receptivity, 3.
If anything, they are the least compatible match.
It's just that they don't have a whole of lot passionate fire going on. They are the right combination of sensuality and personality. What is microphone sensitivity? Pisces are the most sentimental and the most romantic of the star signs in the zodiac.
Take them rappelling, whale-watching, or cliff diving, and they will respond with equal amounts of excitement and delight. They can be the best of friends and have the most fun time together. There are simply too many differences in attitudes, personalities, and beliefs, and Pisces will be too exhausted trying to make the relationship work rather than enjoying being in a relationship.
They look gorgeous, most of them. Pisces go with the flow, and they will be game for almost anything. Let him see your bad side How to get a Pisces man back: The other negative Piscean trait involves the illusion and confusion which surround their ability to tell the truth - known as lying by the more pragmatic signs.
What Makes a Perfect Pisces Date? Scorpio When Pisces and Scorpio get togetherthere are plenty of insights that can be gained, as well as emotional possibilities that can be explored. This can be hard on other people involved, too, for Pisceans can inflict, or receive, considerable suffering when they enter into a guilt-ridden phase.
Your Pisces date loves role playing, so costume parties with friends or an intimate evening at home with you dressed as a mystery man will delight and excite her.
You can do your bit to keep these hangers-on away but for that you are going to need loads of tact and patience. They are complete opposites when it comes to their emotions, making them unreliable partners to one another when life starts to get a little too real.
They have so much empathy for other people — TRUE empathy — that they have a hard time, in serious relationships, figuring out where the other person ends and they begin.
Well from what I keep reading They are kind, caring individuals who feel everything deeply, even though you would not know it on the surface. They are the fishes, after all, and we all know a fire won't survive long if it comes in contact with the ocean. Rather your girlfriend will be happiest with sensitive, creative and sincere gestures which express your real emotions for her.
Are Aquarius and Pisces a love match?
Every sign is said to give certain traits to the people born under them; which definitions vary depending on where you look. People born in certain time periods have certain astrological signs.
When this happens, be the bolder one because it will be a very awkward date if you decide to be shy at the same time! Who are Pisces' compatible with?
Together they can reach inner levels of wonderment. They are very emotional and sensitive, too. I know it's new, and I know that relationships often start out good and then change as time goes on What is a Pisces?
If you want to make sure that you will enjoy your day doing something you have never tried before, bring that special Pisces person along because you will not regret it. The woman is a nurturer and will bark orders to her significant other but only for his good.
You may find your girlfriend highly sensitive to any less-than-favorable opinion on her experiments with glazed pottery or Spanish paella. The woman has the drive and isnt too proud to make her living any way she seems fit.
Pisceans are highly creative people and more often than not can be found to succeed in the worlds of art, music, theater and literature.
An understanding and appreciation of each other. Who is Pisces Compatibile with? Keeping in with the mutable quality of the zodiac, Pisces are highly adaptable people.
Pisces signs tend to be highly and deeply religious, and sometimes will go overboard with their devotion to their particular faith. Just make sure to give them a little advance warning so that they can dress up appropriately and psyche themselves to the right frame of mind.
Pisces Wet Noodle Romance Pisces guys can be romantic.

Support for Unsung Heroes
It is common knowledge that long-range truckers have long been America's unsung heroes. They take on a long, physically demanding job to keep both the economy chugging along and consumers having convenient lives. Petroleum Wholesale LP has been supporting these long-distance warriors on their exhausting trips with its smattering of gas stations and convenience stores spread out throughout the United States of America. These convenient gas stations make sure that no truck driver would be unable to find rest, fuel or gifts to bring back home during their long-haul voyages. Indeed, finding a Petroleum Wholesale LP gas station with a Sunmart convenience store while doing long distance driving is like finding an oasis in the middle of a blazing, unforgiving desert.

The "predicate facts" rule: Providers, be vigilant!
Medicare GME payments do not compensate teaching hospitals for their actual costs of training residents in a given year. Rather, Medicare GME reimbursement is determined, in part, on the basis of historic cost data and historic training levels at the hospital. Thus, for example, direct GME payments are dependent upon, and limited by, two such historic metrics: (1) the hospital's per-resident amount (PRA); and (2) its full-time equivalent (FTE) resident cap, or FTE cap.
For newer teaching hospitals—those that were not training residents when the hospital inpatient prospective payment system was first implemented in 1983—the PRA is determined according to resident training costs incurred by the hospital and documented on the hospital's cost report within the first year or two after the hospital first begins training residents. Similarly, for new teaching hospitals that have begun training residents after FTE caps were first assigned in 1997, the hospital's FTE cap will depend upon the volume of residents training in "new" programs at the hospital within the first five years (or three years, if training began prior to October 2012) after the hospital begins participating in its first new program.
The historic cost data used to determine a hospital's PRA, and the historic resident counts used to establish the FTE cap, are all "predicate facts." What are "predicate facts"? The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has described them as the "factual underpinnings" of a particular reimbursement determination that are established in an earlier cost reporting period, and then used or applied in later periods to determine reimbursement in later years. In other words, the historic cost and training data are the "factual underpinnings" underlying the teaching hospital's assigned PRA and FTE cap, which, in turn, determine the hospital's GME reimbursement amounts in later years.
In late 2013, CMS revised its reopening regulation to "clarify" that cost reporting periods in which such predicate facts are established are themselves subject to the three-year reopening time limit, and that such cost-reporting periods may not be later reopened (absent a showing of fraud or similar fault) even for the purpose of correcting historic errors to ensure accurate reimbursement on prospective-only basis.
So, what does this mean in layman's terms? Even if a hospital can show that its assigned PRA or FTE cap was set on the basis of faulty data, or that the Medicare administrative contractor (MAC) made a calculation error, once assigned, the PRA and FTE cap cannot be corrected after the reopening windows have expired with respect to the relevant historic cost reporting periods. Once the reopening window passes, the predicate facts are writ in stone, and the hospital is stuck with its incorrect PRA or FTE cap.
The lesson for providers is this: Be vigilant! Ensure that program costs and resident counts are accurately reflected on the cost report and that you vet all audit adjustments made by the MAC. If you do not understand a calculation, or if you disagree with the MAC's reasoning, engage the MAC. The absolute best time to correct PRA or FTE cap errors is now. You will not be able to do so indefinitely into the future, even if you later identify a clear error.
It bears emphasizing that providers should always be careful and accurate in all of their submissions to CMS, even outside the PRA or FTE cap-setting context. Not only do providers have a compliance obligation to ensure accurate cost reporting, but also, in a regulatory landscape where reimbursement policies are evolving rapidly and are often based on historic cost report data, providers should anticipate that certain data elements reported now may someday become "predicate facts."
The Dentons GME team understands the PRA and FTE cap-setting process. We have experience helping clients resolve PRA and FTE cap errors. We can help you understand and communicate effectively with your MAC and with CMS. And if errors are not resolved during the audit process, we can help you appeal.

Q: Multiple Link2001 Errors after adding a nuget package i hope its ok that i post another question but i think its important to understand my problem. So im working on the opensource project Sumo and try to add a class sending data via http in json format. So the Project compiled and build the exe fine before i started my work. Then i added these two files :
#ifndef connect_h

So the project already used xerces before and like i said it worked fine. Now when i added the nuget package casablanca and tried to build it i got some LNK errors with the casblanca classes and xerces. Well i added the prag,a to the libs and these errors disappeared. Instead im now getting LNK errors again and even more in the same project and another project .. im wondering im new to c++ but now im completely lost because why is he having problems now with stuff he already built fine before adding that project?
So thats the errors now and now im really lost because theres even like std:basic_string LNK error...

Im really lost here and any help would really be appreciated. From what ive read at the other topics about the error im not really getting it because everything is defined since the build worked before i added that project? is there like a circle or something?

A: You may have resolved this issue since it's so old, but this might help others. The issue could be due to an error in the project properties in Visual Studio 2012.
If you head to:
Project Properties > C/C++ > Preprocessor > Preprocessor Definitions
And add the flag:
_NO_ASYNCRTIMP;
This prevents the compiler from trying to find the C++ REST SDK functions from a DLL. It should resolve your pplx linking errors.
Some other points that are important to note:

*

*ensure that you are using the v110 binaries for your project, as those are intended for Visual Studio 2012

*You may run across some ill-advised suggestions around the internet to "disable wchar_t" as a native type. This is generally a bad idea, because wchar_t IS a native type and the C++ REST SDK depends on it.

*If the v110 binaries from the C++ REST SDK aren't linking properly, try the Windows XP version (v110_xp)

Beyond 90 Minutes: An Autobiography by P.K. Banerjee

Beyond 90 Minutes is a candid heart-wrenching autobiography of India's gifted son P.K. Banerjee, in which he bares it all about his illustrious career as a footballer and then as a coach spanning over six decades. It is delightful reading for any football follower. The book describes the maestro's uphill journey in life and is told with all candidness and brutal clarity. It's an engrossing story of a dream journey for a little boy from pre-independent India who went on and was awarded the FIFA Order of Merit, the highest honor awarded by FIFA.
"Beyond 90 Minutes" is an autobiography of the yester year's footballer P. K. Banerjee. It talks about the struggles of a young player during his glorious career as a player and later as a coach.
When I read the book, the first thought I had was how everything falls in place to make someone a star compelling me to realize success is never an individual effort. It is always a team effort of all the people involved in a person's life. All the pieces of the puzzle have to fall in place to complete the jigsaw of success. In spite of poverty and a large family bearing down on his shoulders, PK's father unconditionally encouraged his son to play the game making him the first piece in the puzzle rolling the events of success ahead. Then his coaches, who not only rendered training but also provided nutritious food for him to forge ahead and succeed. His teammates did their share in fixing the next piece into the puzzle in place. Then, his wife took care of everything on the home front becoming the spine to lean on, so that PK could focus on his game. And everyone did their share for PK to succeed. However, as all games and sportsmen in India (other than Cricket) his life too was riddled with struggles of poverty, monetary issues and the petty politics that confound the spirit of the game. It is admirable that PK pushed forward to win medals at all levels in spite of all the hindering forces. He was the first player to receive the noted Arjuna Award and the Padmasri to his laurels. His story is not only a reality check to the plight and struggles of players in the country, but is also a source of inspiration to young talent across the country.
I admired PK's spirit and his attitude towards the game but the writing is below average. It felt like watching the life of a player from the window of a fast moving train. Nothing registers on the reader's mind. Everything fleets past in quick succession. Also, I did not learn anything about the game nor did could I understand the team dynamics in depth that helps a team to win. All in all, 'Beyond 90 minutes' is a below average read.

UVM professor and ER doctor removed from class following arrest

Assistant Professor Eike Blohm was charged with possession and production of child pornography May 22, a month after he was arrested for voyeurism.
Emma Pinezich, Cynic News Reporter
A UVM professor and doctor at UVM Medical Center who was arrested for voyeurism will not continue to teach for the rest of the semester.
However, the question still looms of what will happen to the course he is slated to teach in the fall.
Eike Blohm, assistant professor and emergency medicine physician, was arrested April 17 after placing hidden cameras in a staff bathroom. UVMMC staff contacted police after they found a KNOWYOURNANNY camera concealed in the staff bathroom April 15, according to the police report.
Blohm has been a professor in the Larner College of Medicine in the Surgery-Emergency Medical Department since fall 2017, and was teaching an emergency medicine research course this semester.
Another emergency medicine faculty member in the department has taken over this course, according to the college's dean.
However, Blohm is still currently slated to teach an honors biology course this coming fall, according to the UVM Course Directory. The dean's office did not respond to multiple requests for comment on whether or not this will change.
Following Blohm's arrest, UVMMC released a statement saying, "our people provide the highest quality care for members of this community, and we will ensure they are supported and informed as we learn more about this information."
Junior Emma Andretta said she is currently in an emergency medicine research course co-taught by Blohm and was shocked when she found out he had been arrested.
"All I knew about him were great things," Andretta said. "It's all very disturbing, I would have never thought he'd jeopardize his career like that."
Blohm has taught the course that Andretta is in for several semesters at UVM. During the class, "students will learn about research ethics and informed consent," according to the course description.
Andretta, who took this course with Blohm, said he usually gave lectures about ethics and that she knew him as someone who stood up for what was right.
According to Andretta, Blohm spoke with the ethics board about not allowing the psychology department to allow students to be research participants, arguing that students are a population at risk and that it is therefore unethical.
Blohm could face up to two years in prison.

A reflection on connecting complexity theory and design for policy

Policy innovation to face complex problems
Society, meant as an aggregate of people interacting with each other in a more or less ordered community, is by definition complex. The relations among its elements (i.e. the people) have different properties that create a distinctly complex system. For instance, as one of the characteristics of complexity theory, they have a nonlinear behavior, meaning that they might respond in different ways to an identical input depending on the circumstances (Byrne, 2002). While it is largely recognized that evolution increased the complexity of social environments (Bar-Yam, 1997), the quick diffusion of digital communication channels and tools (i.e. ICTs) has radically increased the number of interactions among humans, diversifying nature (i.e. digital messaging) and amplifying scale (i.e. social network platforms), thus increasing de facto the complexity of the social system (McChrystal et al., 2015). Indeed, if on the one hand, the technological progress brought a range of benefits like higher connectivity, quicker mobility or easier flow of information, on the other hand it also carried new and critical social and ethical challenges, both on a micro scale (i.e. privacy issues), and on a macro one (i.e. migration). These increasingly complex sociotechnical problems are challenging both the traditional models and solutions used by governments for regulation (the traditional policymaking process), and the old process of public and private innovation (new disruptive technologies like AI or blockchain will radically modify some of the workings of civil society like the type and distribution of jobs).
Focusing on governments and their traditional model to produce and enact regulations, the main reasons behind this scenario can be further described using the following categories:
Procedures, that are often inappropriate for the scale and speed of technological change, as more often the traditional process for policy development and implementation is linear and deterministic;
Organizational structures and procedures, that are often inadequate to support the new need for policy innovation determined by the current scenario (i.e. old silos structure);
Citizen engagement, that is often not appropriately applied to the design and development of policy.
Building on this, the public sector at large needs a renovation, that can include the advantages of Digital Government, modernization of procedures and organizational structures, as well as the development of new ways to include citizens as new sources of solution and generation of public value.
Design for policy and Complexity theory to aid policy innovation
Due to the scenario described, institutions around the world are looking for and experimenting with new approaches to transform the public sector, also looking at design as a potential source of new methods, principles, and tools (Junginger, 2017). In the last decades, design has increasingly accepted this new area of work, evolving its interests toward intangible solutions and acting in what Buchanan (2001) defines third and fourth orders of design, that is working, studying and experimenting on interactions (third order) and systems (fourth order). More recently, Norman et al. (2015) have described how design can play an active role in reducing political, social and cultural disruption while building more resilient solutions alongside optimizing resources. Furthermore, Bason (2017) has underlined the potential of applying design practice in public sector and administration using three dimensions:
Exploring the problem space
Generating alternative scenarios
Enacting new practices
Interestingly, he argues that ethnographically-inspired design approaches can support and inform the process of identification of policy needs, by understanding people's needs and wishes. Beyond people centricity, the relevance of design approaches for government also lies in the ability to map and visualize information and languages (Mauri and Ciuccarelli, 2016), thus helping insights emerge and create a shared vocabulary with citizens to start social conversations (Manzini, 2015). One of the essential aspects of this generation of alternative scenarios in complex systems of stakeholders is the ability to trigger a debate based on a desirable vision of the future. Therefore, we can say that design scenarios use creativity to enable collaborative ideation and prototyping (Kimbell & Bailey, 2017), an aspect that is particularly relevant to renovate current policymaking practice. However, traditional design practices are not yet accustomed to handling complexity for policy formulation, as until now they have mainly been focused on tangible policy outputs (i.e. public services), and would therefore benefit from further understanding about how to integrate and handle a complex system to understand new social challenges and devise solutions to them. The aim is therefore to support this through proposing an integration between complexity theory and design for policy aiming at policy innovation.
From a theoretical point of view, these two areas have a common ground, for instance:
The object of the analysis is in both cases a complex system, its elements, their relations and characteristics (i.e. emergence);
The perspective on the system takes into consideration all its elements with a holistic approach, in contrast with a reductionist one.
From a practical point of view, few experiences and projects can be found in which the concepts of complexity theory are beginning to enrich the design process (i.e. healthcare system design). However, structured reflection and enquiry about how to connect these two areas can seldom be found, and here lies the contribution this paper aims at making. In particular, the intention is to begin to work on a shared vocabulary, methods, and tools that embedded in design for policy could significantly advance the knowledge of both areas as well as innovation in policymaking.
Research design: Focusing on the intersection between Complexity, Policy and Design
In order to comprehend the connection between complexity theory and design for policy, the research selects and analyses the scientific papers published in the last ten years in the most accredited databases (WOS and Scopus) produced with references to the topics of Complexity Theory, Policy Design and Design for Policy, either looking at how these are connected or to extract the most relevant principles for each, for further connection.
Regarding complexity, special attention will be paid to the scale of the system, as its complexity is highly influenced by the number of interactions and increases when the number of interacting elements increases.
In the area of Policy Design, the discussion will reflect on those contributions that frame policy formulation as a design problem to understand where/how design is already considered part of the process and where this process can be further supported by principles coming from complexity studies.
Finally, literature in the area of Design for Policy is analyzed to match the characteristics of this activity with the above areas and create a more compelling understanding on the topic.
The knowledge retrieved from this research will be analyzed placing concepts in a matrix based on Buchanan's fourth orders of design, declined by Jones and van Patter (2009) in the four domanis of design, arguing that "many more will be engaged in the Design 3.0 and Design 4.0 activity spaces with more knowledge and better tools". In our research, these are considered as four distinct design domains from design 1.0 to 4.0 and are useful to understand two aspects: the scale of the system and the kind of design domain (fig. 1).
Based on this, the most relevant domains for our research will be the third and the fourth because connected to organizational structures, social systems and policymaking, thus these will be the object of literature mapping. Moreover, the policy cycle defined by Howlett and Ramesh (2003) and further illustrated by Junginger (2015) (fig. 2) will be used to understand where the activity of design mainly plays a role in the formulation and ideation of a policy.
Finally, these theoretical models are matched to map scientific papers and arguments built by other scholars following the structure provided in Table 1 below.
The mapping tool proposed through the table will generate insights on how in the last decade the conversation around the introduction of design methods and processes in policymaking has evolved also in connection to complexity theory, and what theoretical elements can be useful to create a share language and vocabulary for mutual enrichment and disciplinary enhancement.
