Pilot project in Hyderabad and three other cities to improve viability of FPS

At present, there are stocks but there is no fixed date for the allocation of provisions to fair price shops (Representational Image) At present, there are stocks but there is no fixed date for the allocation of provisions to fair price shops (Representational Image) Hyderabad: Hyderabad was among the four major cities where a pilot study is being conducted to improve the viability of 60 fair price shops (FPS), according to the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution on Wednesday. The study is being conducted in Hyderabad, Ghaziabad, Jaipur and Ahmedabad by the Central government in coordination with States concerned to provide handholding assistance to these FPS shops by partnering with Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) for provision of working capital and B2B online wholesale aggregators for sale of non-PDS items with focus on nutritional items. This information was given by the Union Minister of State for the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Nimuben Jayantibhai Bambhaniya in a written reply in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday. As part of efforts to improve the viability of FPSs, the Central government has taken various initiatives and requested all State and UT governments to implement additional services at the FPSs, including Common Service Centre (CSC) services, banking services through tie-up with banks or corporate banking correspondents, banking and citizen-centric services of India Post Payment Bank (IPPB), retail sale of 5kg LPG cylinders and sale of other commodities and general store items etc. Further, to address the skill development challenges, the department is exploring possibilities of conducting capacity building programs or short term skill development courses through the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE) to boost the confidence of FPS owners and equip them with the essential entrepreneurship skills required for venturing into new business avenues. Under the domain of operational responsibilities, State and UT governments have been advised to display information boards, preferably made of tin plates with colour painting showing beneficiarys rights and integration of weighing scale with electronic Point of Sales (ePoS) devices at all FPSs and explore the feasibility of installation of CCTV cameras at all FPSs. The Public Distribution System (PDS) is operated under joint responsibilities of the Central and State and UT governments, wherein the Department, through Food Corporation of India (FCI), has assumed the responsibility for procurement, storage, transportation and allocation of food grains to States and UTs. Whereas, the operational responsibilities such as licensing and monitoring of Fair Price Shops (FPSs) including identification of eligible households and beneficiaries, issuance of ration cards, Aadhaar seeding, FPS-wise allocation and distribution of foodgrains, authentication of beneficiaries, etc. rest with the respective State and UT government. As per information received from Andhra Pradesh government, a total number of 29,872 FPS have been integrated with e-PoS device with automatic weighing scales. Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) is being implemented by all scheduled commercial banks including Regional Rural Banks. As per information received from Public Sector Banks (PSBs), as on November 24, 2023, a total of 1,15,803 loans have been extended to FPS dealers since the inception of PMMY on August 8, 2015.

CCMB Study Shows Impact of Modernisation on Austroasiatic Languages in India

Hyderabad : About five per cent of Indians speak Austroasiatic languages, especially ancient tribal populations in Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand. They have retained their languages for over 4,000 years, although some are now adopting the Indo-European language. A recent study led by Dr Kumarasamy Thangaraj at CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Hyderabad, and Dr Niraj Rai at DST-Birbal Sahni Institute of Paleosciences, Lucknow, explores these changes. The findings, published in Heliyon, an open access journal by Cell Press, come from the first high-throughput genetic study on east Indian tribal populations. Researchers studied four major tribal groups (Bathudi, Bhumij, Ho, and Mahali) from Odisha, examining their genetic affinities alongside those speaking Indo-European language. The results indicate no genetic mixing between the groups. Linguistic mixing likely stems from industrialization (probable movement of Indo-European speakers from neighbouring states) and modernisation (cultural exchange, may be due to marriage/ trade/ education), bringing cultural contact and causing some Austroasiatic speakers to adopt Indo-European languages. Incidentally, the study found no Indo-European speakers adopting Austroasiatic languages. Using genetic and linguistic data, we established that Austroasiatic languages are being altered by recent demographic changes. This linguistic shift has sociocultural effects and threatens Austroasiatic languages if the trend continues, observed Dr Thangaraj. However, the risk remains small. Our study suggests that most ancient tribal groups in eastern India maintain their cultural heritage despite massive industrialisation and demographic changes, noted Dr Rai. Dr Vinay Kumar Nandicoori, director of CCMB, emphasised the study's importance in enriching the genetic database of Austroasiatic speakers and understanding India's diverse population dynamics. Other institutes involved in this study included the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, Shreyanshi Health Care Private Limited, Raipur, and Panjab University, Chandigarh.

Much at stake for NDA, Yogi in upcoming bypolls in 10 Uttar Pradesh Assembly seats

LUCKNOW: The high-stakes bypoll to 10 assembly segments is a litmus test for both the NDA which suffered a huge setback in the Lok Sabha elections in the state and the INDIA bloc which faces the challenge of consolidating its position in UP after an emphatic comeback in the recent polls. Moreover, the outcome of the bypolls to 10 assembly seats, necessitated by the victory of sitting MLAs in the Lok Sabha elections, will not only be decisive for the political atmosphere of the state but will also set the tone for the 2027 Assembly elections. The BJP-led NDA dwindled to 36 seats from 64 in Uttar Pradesh in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. On the other hand, the Samajwadi Party won 37 seats, its highest Lok Sabha tally ever, and the Congress raised its tally from one in 2019 to six of the 17 seats it had contested. The NDA, which had sitting MLAs in five of the 10 seats up for grabs, will try its best to breach some of the strongholds of the opposition bloc, especially the SP which had sitting MLAs in the other five seats. It would certainly give a much-needed boost to the ruling alliance energising the cadre and helping it to overcome the disappointment. If the ruling alliance fails to give an impressive performance, it could be taken as a referendum on the performance of Yogi Adityanath as his prestige will be at stake and it could intensify ongoing rumblings in the BJP. If the INDIA bloc continues its victory trail in the bypolls as well, its game plan to oust the BJP government from power in 2027 will get a boost. While the Lok Sabha election was contested by the NDA in Modis name based on Amit Shahs strategy, the responsibility of putting up a robust show in the bypolls will be entirely on the UP CM who has been under the scanner for the Lok Sabha debacle in the state. However, Yogi, getting into poll mode, has already appointed a team of 30 ministers to oversee poll preparations in the 10 assembly constituencies. The ministers have been directed to visit constituencies regularly, interact with local people and party workers and redress grievances on priority. A group of three ministers has been constituted and each group was allotted one constituency. On the other hand, the INDIA partners -- SP and Congress -- have also commenced deliberations over seat-sharing for the upcoming challenge as both the parties have decided to contest the bypolls also in alliance. Even the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), in a departure from its traditional stand of not contesting bypolls, has said it would field candidates in all the 10 seats making the contest three-cornered. Mayawati had reinstated her nephew Akash Anand as the partys national coordinator and had announced in June that Akash would lead the byelection campaign. Nine assembly seats, including Karhal, Katehri, Kundarki, Khair, Manjhwa, Meerapur, Milkipur, Phulpur and Ghaziabad Sadar, have been vacated after the sitting MLAs were elected to the Lok Sabha. The Sisamau seat was vacated following the disqualification of sitting SP MLA Irfan Solanki, who has been awarded a seven-year jail term by a court in a criminal case. In the 2022 assembly election, the Samajwadi Party bagged five of these seats Karhal, Katehri, Kundarki, Milkipur and Sisamau. The BJP won three seats -- Khair, Phulpur and Ghaziabad Sadar. The NDA ally RLD, who was then with the SP, won Meerapur and the NISHAD party bagged the Manjhwa seat. However, this time, the BJP's allies are demanding a bigger share of the seats. While the RLD is demanding three seats, the NISHAD party is also trying to go beyond one. No 'major surprise' in UP amid speculations of leadership changes KARHAL An SP stronghold in Mainpuri district. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav won the seat in 2022. Akhilesh vacated it after winning the Kannauj Lok Sabha seat. The SP is likely to field a Yadav family member in the byelection. A difficult seat for the ruling alliance. KATEHRI Once a BSP stronghold and laboratory of Dalit politics in UP, Katehri in Ambedkar Nagar was vacated by Lalji Verma, the sitting SP MLA after winning the Ambedkarnagar Lok Sabah seat. The SP may field a Verma family member or an OBC leader to retain it. The presence of the BJP and BSP will make the contest three-cornered. MILKIPUR The Milkipur assembly seat in Ayodhya district is in the limelight after sitting MLA Awadesh Prasad defeated BJP candidate Lallu Singh from the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat. The SP may field Awadhesh Prasads son in the bypoll which is likely to witness an interesting contest as the BJP will try to wrest the seat from the SP. MANJHWA The Manjhwa seat in Mirzapur district fell vacant after sitting Nishad Party MLA Vinod Kumar Bind won the Bhadohi Lok Sabha seat on the BJP ticket. A traditional BSP seat, the BJP won it in 2017. The riverine community vote is decisive here. PHULPUR The Phulpur seat in Prayagraj was vacated by sitting MLA Parveen Patel after winning the Phulpur Lok Sabha constituency. The seat is likely to witness a tough contest between the SP and BJP for OBC votes in the by-election. SISAMAU The Sisamau seat in Kanpur district was vacated after SP MLA Irfan Solankis disqualification after a court convicted him in a criminal case. Solanki won the seat in the 2012, 2017 and 2022 consecutive assembly elections. The SP may field Solankis wife from here. The BJP is working to wrest the Sisamu seat from the SP. KUNDARKI A SP stronghold, Kundarki seat in Moradabad was vacated after by sitting SP MLA Zia-ur Rehman Barq after winning to Sambhal Lok Sabha seat. There is speculation that the BJP might field a Muslim candidate for the seat. KHAIR Assembly seat in Aligarh vacated after election of sitting BJP MLA Anoop Pradhan Valmiki to the Hathras Lok Sabha seat. With Dalits and Jats dominant, BJP hopes to retain the seat with the RLDs support. The Congress may stake claim to the seat. GHAZIABAD SADAR Vacated after election of sitting MLA Atul Garg to the Lok Sabha from Ghaziabad constituency. An urban seat, considered to be a BJP stronghold. The BJP is confident of retaining the seat in the byelection. The Congress is likely to stake its claim in the bypoll. MEERAPUR Assembly seat in Muzaffarnagar vacated by sitting RLD MLA Chandan Chauhan, who won the Bijnor Lok Sabha seat. The seat may go to the RLD. The SP is working to wrest Meerapur from the RLD.

Lighter bags, heavier hearts: Kitchens feel pinch of vegetable price rise

Those who couldn't buy fresh vegetables would smash open an onion, sprinkle salt and eat it with a roti. But even those days are gone with the humble onion just too expensive, says vegetable vendor Imad Khan, recalling the staple image of the poor in India. About 10 km from the Sahibabad Sabzi Mandi in Ghaziabad where Khan sets up shop, homemaker Poonam Singh in Delhi's Mayur Vihar has not put tomatoes in any dish for almost a month, taking away an essential ingredient from her cooking.

How can one make almost anything without onions, tomatoes or potatoes? Not that other vegetables are any cheaper, b

Nithari Killings: SC to Hear Pleas by CBI, UP Govt Against HC Verdict Acquitting Surendra Koli

New Delhi : The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear separate pleas filed by the CBI and the Uttar Pradesh government challenging the Allahabad High Court's verdict acquitting Surendra Koli in the sensational 2006 Nithari serial killings case. A bench of Justices B R Gavai, K V Viswanathan, and N Kotiswar Singh issued a notice and sought a response from Koli on the petitions and tagged them with similar pleas which are already pending before the apex court. Notice. Tag, the bench said. The top court on July 8 sought a response from Koli on separate pleas filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against the high court's October 16 last year verdict. The apex court in May agreed to hear a plea filed by the father of one of the victims challenging the high court's order acquitting Koli in the case. In this case, Moninder Singh Pandher was acquitted by the sessions court while Koli was awarded the death penalty on September 28, 2010. The high court had acquitted domestic help Koli and his employer Pandher in the Nithari serial killings case in which they were facing a death sentence, holding that the prosecution failed to prove the guilt eyond reasonable doubt and that the investigation was otched up. Reversing the death sentence given to Koli in 12 cases and Pandher in two cases, the high court had noted that the prosecution had failed to prove the guilt of both the accused eyond reasonable doubt, on the settled parameters of a case based on circumstantial evidence and the probe was othing short of a betrayal of public trust by responsible agencies. Pandher and Koli were charged with rape and murder and sentenced to death in the killings that horrified the nation with their details of sexual assault, brutal murder and hints of possible cannibalism. The high court had allowed multiple appeals filed by Koli and Pandher, who had challenged the death sentence awarded by a Central Bureau of Investigation court in Ghaziabad. In all, 19 cases had been lodged against Pandher and Koli in 2007. The CBI had filed closure reports in three cases due to lack of evidence. In the remaining 16 cases, Koli was earlier acquitted in three and his death sentence in one was commuted to life. The sensational killings came to light with the discovery of the skeletal remains of eight children from a drain behind Pandher's house at Nithari in Noida, bordering the national capital, on December 29, 2006. Further digging and searches of drains in the area around the house led to more skeletal remains. Most of these remains were those of poor children and young women who had gone missing from the area. Within 10 days, the CBI had taken over the case and its search resulted in the recovery of more remains.

Woman Abducted, Killed Over Inter-Caste Marriage In Rajasthan, Family Booked

Kota: A 20-year-old woman was allegedly abducted by her father and brother and killed in Rajasthan's Jhalawar district, with police retrieving her burnt body from the pyre and initiating a probe into the honour killing case.

Who will win Dalit votes BSP or Azad in UP bypolls?

LUCKNOW : After drawing a blank in the recent Lok Sabha polls, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), in a departure from its long-standing stance, has decided to contest the upcoming assembly by-polls to 10 seats vacated during general elections in UP. This has set the stage for a trial of strength among Dalit voters as the Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad-led Azad Samaj Party (ASP-Kanshiram) has also pulled up its socks to try its fate in bypolls which are likely to be held along with assembly elections to three states. Emerging as a prominent Dalit leader by winning the Nagina Lok Sabha seat by a margin of over 1.5 lakh votes in his electoral debut against Om Kumar of the BJP, Chandrashekhar has appointed in-charges on four assembly seats - Khair (Aligarh), Meerapur (Muzaffarnagar), Kundarki (Moradabad) and Ghaziabad Sadar (Ghaziabad). On the rest of the seats mainly from central and eastern UP, including Milkipur (Ayodhya), Sisamau (Kanpur), Phulpur (Prayagraj), Katehri (Ambedkar Nagar), Manjhwa (Bhadohi) and Karhal (Mainpuri), he will appoint in-charges soon. On the other hand, addressing her party leaders at a national level meeting in Lucknow recently, BSP chief Mayawati also made her intentions of contesting the assembly bypolls in Uttar Pradesh clear. The BSP chief said that she would field candidates on all 10 seats, of which, nine fell vacant after the election of sitting legislators to the Lok Sabha and Sisamau seat in Kanpur got vacant after the disqualification of sitting MLA Irfan Solanki who was convicted and sentenced by a local court in a criminal case. Mayawati also made it clear that the party would go it alone in the bypolls. With Azad leading the ASP campaign, the fight for Dalit votes between both Dalit-based parties BSP and ASP will intensify in UP. Buoyed by the Nagina success, the ASP has also decided to go solo in the bypolls, said the party sources. It will give an opportunity to us to expand our base in other parts of the state as well, says a senior ASP leader. Dalit politics The assembly bypolls to 10 seats vacated during the general election in UP are due in July 10. Chandrashekhar Azad emerged as a prominent Dalit leader by winning the Nagina LS seat by a margin of over 1.5 lakh votes in his electoral debut against BJP.

BSP-ASP tussle for Dalit votes on the cards in upcoming UP bypoll

LUCKNOW: After drawing a blank in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), in a departure from its long-standing stance, has decided to contest the upcoming assembly bypolls to 10 assembly seats vacated during general elections in Uttar Pradesh. This has set the stage for a trial of strength among Dalit voters as Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad-led Azad Samaj Party (ASP-Kanshiram) has also geared up to try their fate in the bypolls, which are likely to be held along with assembly elections to three states.

On the rest of the seats, mainly from central and eastern UP, including Milkipur (Ayodhya), Sisamau (Kanpur), Phulpur (Prayagraj), Katehri (Ambedkar Nagar), Manjhwa (Bhadohi), and Karhal (Mainpuri), he will appoint in-charges soon. On the other hand, addressing her party leaders at a national-level meeting in Lucknow recently, BSP chief Mayawati made her intentions of contesting the assembly bypolls in Uttar Pradesh clear. BSP draws a blank, vote share hits all-time low The BSP chief said that she would field candidates on all 10 seats, of which nine fell vacant after the election of sitting legislators to the Lok Sabha and the Sisamau seat in Kanpur got vacated after the disqualification of sitting MLA Irfan Solanki, who was convicted and sentenced by a local court in a criminal case. Mayawati also made it clear that the party would go it alone in the bypolls. While the senior leaders of the party were asked to start preparations by holding meetings in all the assembly segments set to go to bypoll, coordinators were directed to identify winnable candidates. With Chandrashekhar Azad leading the ASP campaign, the fight for Dalit votes between both Dalit-based parties - BSP and ASP - will intensify in UP. Buoyed by the Nagina success, the ASP has also decided to go solo in the bypolls, said party sources. It will give us an opportunity to expand our base in other parts of the state as well, said a senior ASP leader, adding that the party would also contest bypolls in nagar panchayats and nagar palika parishads. As per political experts, BSPs decision to contest the bypoll might have resulted from the palpable shift of Dalit voters to the ASP in its stronghold of Nagina, where the BSP candidate was relegated to the fourth position in the Lok Sabha elections. In 2019, BSP had emerged victorious in Nagina, considered a bastion of the BSP chief. Political scientists also believe that the assembly bypoll would be a trial of the political aptitude of Akash Anand, who has recently been reinstated as BSPs national coordinator and Mayawatis successor. The BSP has already announced Akash as the star campaigner for the bypolls in Uttarakhand and Punjab. Once the Election Commission of India announces the schedule for the bypoll on 10 assembly seats in UP, Akash will lead the party campaign on all 10 seats, said a BSP leader.

Why not give a lovely gift full of your feelings and love to the person who fulfilled your needs throughout your life? For everyone, the father is like a strong pillar in their life, and the true sense, he is the true role model and hero of life. Muskan Bhardwaj, who lives in Ghaziabad, is a physiotherapist by profession. She says, I want to spend time with my father because often we talk to my mother for hours on the phone, but this is not possible with my father and I am also not able to spend time with him due to my busy schedule. So I will spend time with him, at his favorite place. Have you also decided to give a gift of love to your father? There can be many ways for this and many types of gifts too. Party plan You often have get-togethers with friends. Why not plan a party with Father this time? Include only family members in this party, whose theme will be - Papa ki Pasand i.e. all things liked by Papa. If your child wants to do this, then you should help him. Yes, do not forget to save these memorable moments through photos and videos. Picnic On the day when the office is closed or your father is on leave, you can plan a surprise picnic. Try to choose your father's favorite place for a picnic, even if it is your grandmother's house. Your father will also like it very much. Spend time together If your father does not like to go out, then you can make any dish of his choice at home and feed him. Nine-year-old Arnav Tyagi, a resident of Ghaziabad, wants to make special cookies with his own hands and feed them to his father. Arnav has also saved money in his piggy bank, so that he can also show his father his favorite movie.

CNG Price Hike Hits Delhi and Surrounding Cities Amidst Supply Drop

CNG Price Hike Hits Delhi and Surrounding Cities Amidst Supply Drop CNG prices in Delhi and its adjoining areas saw a sudden increase by Re 1 per kg on Saturday due to a drop in the supply of subsidized natural gas. Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) made the announcement on its website, attributing the necessity to procure more imported gas as domestic supplies dwindled. With the new rates, CNG will now cost Rs 75.09 per kg in New Delhi, a rise from Rs 74.09. In Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad, prices have surged to Rs 79.70 per kg from Rs 78.70 per kg. In contrast, the rates for piped cooking gas remain unchanged. The shortage of domestically sourced gas, pumped out of the ground and seabed by ONGC, has led to this price adjustment as ONGC fields cover only 66-67 percent of IGL's CNG demand. Cities like Ajmer, Pali, and Rajsamand in Rajasthan now see CNG prices at Rs 82.94 per kg, up from Rs 81.94 per kg. Other city gas retailers have not yet announced similar hikes.

Government announces Rs 1 per kg hike in CNG prices

Government announces Rs 1 per kg hike in CNG prices In a development affecting daily commuters and the transportation sector, the Indian government has announced an increase in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) prices by Rs 1 per kilogram. The new pricing structure came into effect at 6:00 a.m. on June 22, resulting in an immediate impact on various regions across the country, including New Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, and the National Capital Region (NCR). In Delhi, the price has risen from Rs 74.09 to Rs 75.09 per kg, Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad, the prices have increased from Rs 78.70 to Rs 79.70 per kg and in Gurugram, Haryana, there has been no change in the CNG prices, which remain stable despite the hike in neighboring regions. The price adjustment is expected to have a widespread impact on commuters who rely on CNG-powered vehicles, including auto-rickshaws, taxis, and personal vehicles. The increase will likely result in higher transportation costs, which may subsequently affect daily travel expenses for millions of residents. This is not the first time CNG prices have been raised in recent months. The frequent adjustments in CNG prices have been a cause of concern for consumers, who are already grappling with the economic pressures of inflation and fluctuating fuel costs. The latest increase in CNG prices underscores the challenges faced by commuters and the transportation sector in navigating the complexities of the energy market. (ANI)

CNG Prices Rise in Delhi-NCR, Adding Financial Pressure on Consumers and Businesses

New Delhi: Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) has announced an immediate hike in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) prices across Delhi-NCR, effective June 22. This increase, amidst ongoing inflationary pressures, raises concerns for both individual consumers and commercial operators reliant on CNG. Details of the Price Adjustment The price of CNG in Delhi has been revised from Rs.74.04 per kilogram to Rs.75.09 per kilogram. Similarly, in Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad, prices have increased from Rs.78.70 per kilogram to Rs.79.70 per kilogram. Despite seeming incremental, these adjustments carry significant implications for daily expenditures across the region. Impact on Daily Commuters Daily commuters using CNG-powered vehicles will face higher travel expenses. For example, an individual traveling 50 kilometers daily in a vehicle averaging 20 km/kg will incur approximately Rs.3.75 more per day. Over a month, this totals Rs.112.50, posing a substantial burden for those on tight budgets. Effects on Commercial Transport Commercial operators, such as taxis, auto-rickshaws, and delivery vehicles, will experience intensified operational costs. Given the distances these vehicles cover, the cumulative impact of the price hike will necessitate adjustments in fare and delivery charges. This could potentially increase costs for consumers of essential services and goods. Broader Economic Implications The increase in CNG prices is expected to ripple through the broader economy. As transportation costs escalate, the cost of goods and services may rise correspondingly. Retailers and suppliers reliant on CNG-powered logistics face heightened operational expenses, potentially translating into higher retail prices. Government Response and Policy Considerations With the escalation in fuel prices, there is mounting pressure on the government to intervene effectively. Calls for stabilizing measures, such as subsidies for CNG users or incentives for adopting alternative fuels, are gaining traction. These interventions aim to alleviate the financial strain on affected individuals and businesses. Pursuing Sustainable Solutions In light of rising fuel costs, there is a growing emphasis on exploring sustainable alternatives. Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly seen as a viable solution, supported by governmental incentives and expanding charging infrastructure. However, transitioning to EVs requires time and substantial investment, necessitating interim reliance on CNG and other fossil fuels.

Impact: Increased daily and monthly expenses for commuters; higher operational costs for commercial transport. Economic Ramifications: Potential escalation in the cost of goods and services due to heightened transportation costs. Government Role: Urgent need for policy measures to mitigate the impact of fuel price hikes and promote sustainable energy alternatives.
