My Progress - Week #8

Hello everyone,

It's time for another update on our journey with Evergreen Solutions. As we dive into Week #8, here's a look at how things are shaping up:

What's Working? We've seen some promising developments on the sales front this week. Our efforts to expand our client base and increase brand visibility have started to yield results, with a noticeable uptick in inquiries and bookings for our tree care services and parks maintenance. Additionally, our team's cohesion and collaboration have improved, leading to smoother operations and enhanced productivity.

What's Not Working? One challenge we've encountered is managing the increased demand while maintaining quality and efficiency. As we strive to meet growing customer expectations and fulfill orders promptly, we're facing logistical hurdles and resource constraints. It's a balancing act that requires careful planning and optimization of our workflows to ensure customer satisfaction without compromising on service quality.

How Do I Feel the Project Is Coming? Overall, I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about the progress we're making. We've achieved significant milestones and overcome numerous obstacles along the way, but there's still much work to be done. The project is evolving at a steady pace, and I'm confident in our ability to navigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities as they arise.

What Are You Learning About Running a Business? Running a business is an ongoing learning process, and this week has been no exception. One key lesson I'm taking away is the importance of scalability and adaptability. As we experience growth and expansion, it's crucial to scale our operations effectively while remaining agile and responsive to market dynamics. I'm also learning the value of strategic decision-making and prioritization in maximizing profitability and sustainable growth.

What Are You Learning About Yourself? Reflecting on this week's experiences, I'm discovering newfound strengths and areas for growth within myself. I'm becoming more adept at handling ambiguity and uncertainty, embracing challenges as opportunities for learning and development. Additionally, I'm learning to trust my instincts and intuition as I navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship, gaining confidence in my ability to lead and make informed decisions.

That wraps up this week's update! Thank you for joining me on this journey, and stay tuned for more insights and updates.

The capitol style from each of the sub-classes

1. The Patrician (or Patricius)

based on the groups of ruling class families in ancient Rome

The Patrician was a very exclusive and hereditary segment of society constituted of the few wealthy families that survived the old days! As the real “old-money” from Panem, their social class was plainly showed in the way they presented themselves: with an strong sense of elegance, grace and tradition, they preferred sophisticated over frivolous, as their fashion style embraced classic cuts, high-quality material, gold-plated fabric and refined textiles that harmonized perfectly with their offensively expensive jewelry and accessories. It was where mostly of the people who were wealthy enough to Sponsor the games and afford appointments with young victors, came from -full of long lines of Gamemaker, Politicians and absurdly rich house wives

2. The Equestrians (or Equites)

The Equestrians, although still part of the upper class and usually associated with glamorous fashion and Propaganda, weren’t important enough to have direct contact with the President and his administration. Developed from the “new money” families who survived the war, this caste was constituted by owners of huge fortunes with no political impact- therefore, as a way to compensate the lack of governmental influence, the Equestrians opted to draw attention by chosen pompous and extravagant outfits. The style embraced loud colors, fluffy dresses, exaggerated accessories with almost comical makeup techniques and ostentatious hairstyles. The goal was to mix haut couture with maximalist fashion in cloths that screamed excessive wealth, however still prioritizing good quality fabrics and expensive jewelry. There was no restriction for creativity when i came to explore all kind of shades and forms, resulting in a bunch of different modern-cuts and colors that were comical identical to clown costumes. This segment of society were usually constituted by the high income category of entrepreneur, models, escorts, actress and etc…

3. the Plebeian (worst of the best)

As the lowest class of the Capitols, the Plebeians assumed the position of powerless and low incomes families that somehow managed to survive in the modern world. The lack of power and money forced them to improvise their clothing in shabby pieces of cloth with scraps of other disassembled dresses. Without enough budget to spend in haut couture, good quality fabrics and expensive adornments, their style embraced tacky and cheap textiles that were made into overwrought and gaudy dresses, old, shredded wigs or hair scarves and trashy makeup techniques. This caste system was usually constructed by forgotten stylists, traders and fallen socialists who eventually lost their importance

Pluto in Aquarius: Brace for a Business Revolution (and How to Ride the Wave)

The Aquarian Revolution

Get ready, entrepreneurs and financiers, because a seismic shift is coming. Pluto, the planet of transformation and upheaval, has just entered the progressive sign of Aquarius, marking the beginning of a 20-year period that will reshape the very fabric of business and finance. Buckle up, for this is not just a ripple – it's a tsunami of change. Imagine a future where collaboration trumps competition, sustainability dictates success, and technology liberates rather than isolates. Aquarius, the sign of innovation and humanitarianism, envisions just that. Expect to see:

Rise of social impact businesses

Profits won't be the sole motive anymore. Companies driven by ethical practices, environmental consciousness, and social good will gain traction. Aquarius is intrinsically linked to collective well-being and social justice. Under its influence, individuals will value purpose-driven ventures that address crucial societal issues. Pluto urges us to connect with our deeper selves and find meaning beyond material gains. This motivates individuals to pursue ventures that resonate with their personal values and make a difference in the world.

Examples of Social Impact Businesses

Sustainable energy companies: Focused on creating renewable energy solutions while empowering local communities.

Fair-trade businesses: Ensuring ethical practices and fair wages for producers, often in developing countries.

Social impact ventures: Addressing issues like poverty, education, and healthcare through innovative, community-driven approaches.

B corporations: Certified businesses that meet rigorous social and environmental standards, balancing profit with purpose.

Navigating the Pluto in Aquarius Landscape

Align your business with social impact: Analyze your core values and find ways to integrate them into your business model.

Invest in sustainable practices: Prioritize environmental and social responsibility throughout your operations.

Empower your employees: Foster a collaborative environment where everyone feels valued and contributes to the social impact mission.

Build strong community partnerships: Collaborate with organizations and communities that share your goals for positive change.

Embrace innovation and technology: Utilize technology to scale your impact and reach a wider audience.

Pluto in Aquarius presents a thrilling opportunity to redefine the purpose of business, moving beyond shareholder value and towards societal well-being. By aligning with the Aquarian spirit of innovation and collective action, social impact businesses can thrive in this transformative era, leaving a lasting legacy of positive change in the world.

Tech-driven disruption

AI, automation, and blockchain will revolutionize industries, from finance to healthcare. Be ready to adapt or risk getting left behind. Expect a focus on developing Artificial Intelligence with ethical considerations and a humanitarian heart, tackling issues like healthcare, climate change, and poverty alleviation. Immersive technologies will blur the lines between the physical and digital realms, transforming education, communication, and entertainment. Automation will reshape the job market, but also create opportunities for new, human-centered roles focused on creativity, innovation, and social impact.

Examples of Tech-Driven Disruption:

Decentralized social media platforms: User-owned networks fueled by blockchain technology, prioritizing privacy and community over corporate profits.

AI-powered healthcare solutions: Personalized medicine, virtual assistants for diagnostics, and AI-driven drug discovery.

VR/AR for education and training: Immersive learning experiences that transport students to different corners of the world or historical periods.

Automation with a human touch: Collaborative robots assisting in tasks while freeing up human potential for creative and leadership roles.

Navigating the Technological Tsunami:

Stay informed and adaptable: Embrace lifelong learning and upskilling to stay relevant in the evolving tech landscape.

Support ethical and sustainable tech: Choose tech products and services aligned with your values and prioritize privacy and social responsibility.

Focus on your human advantage: Cultivate creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence to thrive in a world increasingly reliant on technology.

Advocate for responsible AI development: Join the conversation about ethical AI guidelines and ensure technology serves humanity's best interests.

Connect with your community: Collaborate with others to harness technology for positive change and address the potential challenges that come with rapid technological advancements.

Pluto in Aquarius represents a critical juncture in our relationship with technology. By embracing its disruptive potential and focusing on ethical development and collective benefit, we can unlock a future where technology empowers humanity and creates a more equitable and sustainable world. Remember, the choice is ours – will we be swept away by the technological tsunami or ride its wave towards a brighter future?

Decentralization and democratization

Power structures will shift, with employees demanding more autonomy and consumers seeking ownership through blockchain-based solutions. Traditional institutions, corporations, and even governments will face challenges as power shifts towards distributed networks and grassroots movements. Individuals will demand active involvement in decision-making processes, leading to increased transparency and accountability in all spheres. Property and resources will be seen as shared assets, managed sustainably and equitably within communities. This transition won't be without its bumps. We'll need to adapt existing legal frameworks, address digital divides, and foster collaboration to ensure everyone benefits from decentralization.

Examples of Decentralization and Democratization

Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs): Self-governing online communities managing shared resources and projects through blockchain technology.

Community-owned renewable energy initiatives: Local cooperatives generating and distributing clean energy, empowering communities and reducing reliance on centralized grids.

Participatory budgeting platforms: Citizens directly allocate local government funds, ensuring public resources are used in line with community needs.

Decentralized finance (DeFi): Peer-to-peer lending and borrowing platforms, bypassing traditional banks and offering greater financial autonomy for individuals.

Harnessing the Power of the Tide:

Embrace collaborative models: Participate in co-ops, community projects, and initiatives that empower collective ownership and decision-making.

Support ethical technology: Advocate for blockchain platforms and applications that prioritize user privacy, security, and equitable access.

Develop your tech skills: Learn about blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and other decentralized technologies to navigate the future landscape.

Engage in your community: Participate in local decision-making processes, champion sustainable solutions, and build solidarity with others.

Stay informed and adaptable: Embrace lifelong learning and critical thinking to navigate the evolving social and economic landscape.

Pluto in Aquarius presents a unique opportunity to reimagine power structures, ownership models, and how we interact with each other. By embracing decentralization and democratization, we can create a future where individuals and communities thrive, fostering a more equitable and sustainable world for all. Remember, the power lies within our collective hands – let's use it wisely to shape a brighter future built on shared ownership, collaboration, and empowered communities.

Focus on collective prosperity

Universal basic income, resource sharing, and collaborative economic models may gain momentum. Aquarius prioritizes the good of the collective, advocating for equitable distribution of resources and opportunities. Expect a rise in social safety nets, universal basic income initiatives, and policies aimed at closing the wealth gap. Environmental health is intrinsically linked to collective prosperity. We'll see a focus on sustainable practices, green economies, and resource sharing to ensure a thriving planet for generations to come. Communities will come together to address social challenges like poverty, homelessness, and healthcare disparities, recognizing that individual success is interwoven with collective well-being. Collaborative consumption, resource sharing, and community-owned assets will gain traction, challenging traditional notions of ownership and fostering a sense of shared abundance.

Examples of Collective Prosperity in Action

Community-owned renewable energy projects: Sharing the benefits of clean energy production within communities, democratizing access and fostering environmental sustainability.

Cooperatives and worker-owned businesses: Sharing profits and decision-making within companies, leading to greater employee satisfaction and productivity.

Universal basic income initiatives: Providing individuals with a basic safety net, enabling them to pursue their passions and contribute to society in meaningful ways.

Resource sharing platforms: Platforms like carsharing or tool libraries minimizing individual ownership and maximizing resource utilization, fostering a sense of interconnectedness.

Navigating the Shift

Support social impact businesses: Choose businesses that prioritize ethical practices, environmental sustainability, and positive social impact.

Contribute to your community: Volunteer your time, skills, and resources to address local challenges and empower others.

Embrace collaboration: Seek opportunities to work together with others to create solutions for shared problems.

Redefine your own path to prosperity: Focus on activities that bring you personal fulfillment and contribute to the collective good.

Advocate for systemic change: Support policies and initiatives that promote social justice, environmental protection, and equitable distribution of resources.

Pluto in Aquarius offers a unique opportunity to reshape our definition of prosperity and build a future where everyone thrives. By embracing collective well-being, collaboration, and sustainable practices, we can create a world where abundance flows freely, enriching not just individuals, but the entire fabric of society. Remember, true prosperity lies not in what we hoard, but in what we share, and by working together, we can cultivate a future where everyone has the opportunity to flourish.

Dominant Archetype For 2024

Intuitive/Oracle Reading for all (12) sidereal signs

Services

I was able to find this beautiful and insightful deck with 80 different archetypes that represent the many facets of our unconscious, subconscious, and conscious mind. This is the dominant archetype you are currently and will continue on embodying for the remainder of the year. Enjoy <3

Aries

Prince Archetype

You're filled with romantic charm and potential for power. There's a need for being generous, fair, compassionate, and full of wisdom but it must be balanced. The shadow aspects of this archetype are manifested from a sense of entitlement, and using your position and power to your own interest regardless to needs nor impact on others.

There might be matters of love that you are sabotaging, own up to your self power and bring the change you deserve for yourself. Do not allow your old wounds and triggers to dictate your present or future decisions. You've been given the abilities to see beyond the superficial and understand where real power comes from.

Taurus

Goddess Archetype

This is the light feminine expressed through wisdom, nature, life force, and sensuality. You are fitting the energy of your ruling planet very well, but keep in mind that the shadow aspects manifest in extreme self indulgence, and exploitation of the female nature and form in some way.

Make sure you're putting all of this abundant energy towards becoming an active advocate of a cause that aids your self growth along with others. It is time to focus on developing within a community, just be wary of not using this to gain leverage or superiority over others.

Gemini

Victim Archetype

You might currently find yourself dominantly playing an archetype that prevents you from letting yourself be victimized or victimizing others, but it also implies the inability to receive positive feedback without playing the victim as well. You don't need sympathy nor pity from other in order to feel validated and seen. Your opinion is the only one that truly matters, find the strength behind it.

Keep in mind that everyone has this archetype, but the goal is to recognize it enough to stop inappropriate attitudes towards ourselves and act from a place of power. This card also speaks of not being able to maintain personal boundaries.

Avoid turning your pain into a joke all the time, its minimizing it and blocking you emotionally. Even if its helpful to laugh through the pain when needed, don't deny your emotions nor others.

Cancer

Midas/Miser Archetype

You are currently being a natural entrepreneur or having creative abilities that can turn into gold. This is a state of sharing your riches happily and enjoying abundance. The shadow comes from hoarding money, emotions, and having an obsessive fear of losing it. With this archetype wealth could be your best friend or worst enemy. What are you're willing to sacrifice for money?

It can be good to use your social abilities to become a jack of all trades, but be wary of the dangers behind only staying in shallow waters with all of your knowledge. Its not about cutting corners, specially when there's ulterior motives or hidden agendas.

Leo

The Hedonist Archetype

You are inspiring others with your creative energy to embrace the good things in life, and the joy of celebrating beauty in yourself. The shadow aspects are pursuing pleasure to a detrimental degree. It makes you indulge at the expenses of others. As if it was an insatiable appetite for life, good food, wine, sex, and sensuality.

Be mindful of not using your ability to identify aggressive/hostile tactics, hidden intentions, and humility to your advantage in certain situations. Do not succumb to taking what isn't your or bullying others when you're getting what you want. You can achieve your lifestyle goals without sacrificing your power to become codependent of others.

Virgo

The Trickster Archetype

There is a strong energy of transcending from conventional, uncomfortable, and painful predictable situations or behaviors. This helps you see situations outside of the box and give others creative alternatives. The shadow sides come in manipulating by not being honest with yourself and with others. Its your ability to find loopholes in situations and the compulsive need to move forward from anything negative as fast as possible.

It is also possible you're playing double agent due to divine intervention, meaning that you cannot or do not want to disclose what you know. Allow yourself to explore uncharted territory and situations that are simply out of your control.

Focus on your potential to see the sacred beauty and possibility in all things. Feed your inner child with hope, and not with pessimism or disbelief.

Libra

Rebel Archetype

You've been challenging authority to create a social change. It has been leading you to reject spiritual or governmental systems that are unable to serve nor satisfy your needs. The shadow side comes in rejecting all legitimate authority out of frustration, rebelling out peer pressure, or for outside validation.

There might be talents for creating and supporting life that are being positively appearing or conversely there might an abuse of authority arising. Pay attention to the current patterns in which you've had to rebel, and reflect on the underlying motivations.

Scorpio

Child: Nature Archetype

There are several expressions of our inner child, and for you the rest of the year will be all about friendship with animals and connecting with nature spirits very easily. There's a real toughness and ability to survive against all odds at this moment. You're respecting very heavily the seed of life that lays within all living and conscious creatures. The shadow side is hurting or abusing animals, people, or your environment.

You are or will be heavily tapping into your inner child and filling it with lots of magic and nurturing energy. Stay connected to your belief of knowing everything is possible, and be aware of any heavily pessimist, depressed, or distorted inner views.

Sagittarius

King Archetype

You are in a state of being completely aware, and choosing to take benevolent leadership in your life. Those who are around you or close to you are benefiting immensely from your charge. You give them a real sense of stability and control that comes from strong boundaries. The shadow aspect is an excessive feeling of entitlement and as if you deserve rulership without any restraint.

There will be plenty of meaningful learning and alchemizing that knowledge into long life wisdom. You have accepted with humility and devotion to simply become a learner of life and opening up to the lifelong journey. Don't allow arrogance limit your connection with others or keep you stuck from not knowing how translate knowledge into action.

Capricorn

Angel Archetype

You are helping those in need with no expectation of what you might receive back, and staying connected to divinity and angels at the moment. This is a state of being loving, nurturing in character, and being a sort of fairy godmother/godfather to those who are in need of some love and warm.

The shadow aspects come from acting falsely innocent/unaware to manipulate and mislead others, or falsely claiming to be in touch with angelic guidance.

It seems you're tapped into divinity from an inner child level, so your aura of innocence, purity, desire for redemption, or having a special connection with divinity is real and authentic. Cherish all of it while protecting your energy!

Aquarius

Rescuer Archetype

You are and will continue to provide strength, support to others in their moments of crisis, and truly acting out of love with no expectation of rewards. The shadow aspect is assuming that those you aid in their worst moments will reciprocate or keeping those you help in a constant state of need.

You are using your gift for mediating with fairness, strategy, and respect for all parties in different aspects of life, but be wary of doing this with ulterior motives or hidden agendas.

Pisces

Destroyer Archetype

You are releasing what is potentially destructive or preparing yourself for a complete new you, life, reality, etc. There is a deep call for a complete rebuild of yourself at the moment, and it can beneficial if you're letting go of self limiting beliefs.

The shadow aspect is becoming intoxicated with your power to create chaos/destruction and drowning those around you in the process. You need to become aware of your ability to notice when someone or something is draining you life force, and ensure that its not coming from you. You don't need to deplete others energy to survive, nor need to rely on codependency.

Think of the times when you've felt exhausted from interacting with others and the times where you've noticed others feeling this way after spending time around you. Are others taking too much? And how do you notice when you're doing it too?

𝖍𝖔𝖜 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖕𝖑𝖚𝖙𝖔 𝖎𝖓 𝖆𝖖𝖚𝖆𝖗𝖎𝖚𝖘 𝖙𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖘𝖎𝖙 𝖒𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙 𝖎𝖒𝖕𝖆𝖈𝖙 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖌𝖊𝖓𝖊𝖗𝖆𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓𝖘 (𝖘𝖈𝖔𝖗𝖕𝖎𝖔, 𝖘𝖆𝖌𝖎𝖙𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖎𝖚𝖘, 𝖈𝖆𝖕𝖗𝖎𝖈𝖔𝖗𝖓)

(these observations are general and do not cover all aspects)

♇ the significance of pluto lies in its association with disruption - 'death' in both a symbolic and literal sense, regeneration, and rebirth. in each respective sign, pluto demands collective change through the sign's principles, without compromise. as an outer planet its personal implications can be more subtle, yet they intrinsically affect you.

♇ think of pluto as the wound of perception, subconsciously impacting us through trauma - whether individually or collectively.

♇ pluto dismantles and doesn't console, but rather pushes you to the edge in order for you to evolve and reclaim your power.

collective impact - pluto in aquarius

♇ in the ‘humanitarian’ sign, combined with pluto’s implications, we’re likely to see the previously established overturned and reformed. fragile structures, ‘unjust’ power, and inauthenticity can be expected to be dismantled on a large scale. authority and its ability will be questioned, along with blatant lies being exposed. this can be a time of societal values centring on communities, a collective, factual questioning of the status quo, and a critical eye on institutions, as well as the power held by them. think of uncompromising idealism, protests in reaction to crises and human rights violations, and redefining morality - centred on equality. discernment is invaluable.

♇ we're likely to see an influx of information and graphic exposure to humanity's deepest wounds, demonstrating the fragility of our existence.

♇ seeing these vulnerabilities (pluto) in relation to global structures (uranus) this might affect technology at large - highlighting its flaws and shortcomings. in a situational context, this could mean exponential advancements in tech - both positive and negative, e.g. more surveillance, an increase in cyber-attacks, data being deleted, power outages, further implementation of ai, plagiarism, etc.

pluto in scorpio

♇ wound of sorrow and cyclical loss, purging of trauma and ancestral wounds, purification, the occult, pain, rage, and anger.

♇ a gen deeply attuned to crises and disillusioned about the state of the world, sensing the potency of global struggles.

♇ may bring forward hidden information on corporations, political figures or governments through whistleblowers or officials. also paying more attention to their privacy and how their data is being processed.

♇ perhaps seeking positions of mentoring - helping to build a foundation. questioning and reevaluating social circles, looking for connections that align with them and preferring solitude to company that isn't beneficial.

pluto in sagittarius

♇ philosophy, religion, 'meaning', wound of seeking, inquiring, and investigating constrained by structure - often experiencing alienation due to a misalignment with cultural and societal norms.

♇ it will be invaluable to practice groundedness in order to implement idealism, setting an intention but also planning how to achieve this desired state globally, esp. when it comes to activism. can be eccentric, optimism has to be backed by strategies.

♇ themes can include the questioning of authority esp. in academic settings, seeking education outside institutions, and diverse qualifications rather than convention.

♇ may lead to a surge of entrepreneurs, startups, value-based businesses, more autonomy, less traditional employment etc. (working hours or location)

pluto in capricorn

♇ wound of responsibility - pragmatism, endurance, authority, implementation of new baselines, philosophies become policies - tradition and identity, social responsibility, emotional withdrawal, prone to anxiety and depression.

♇ with capricorn being a cardinal sign, there’s an emphasis on death and renewal – signifying new standards, demanding change rather than petitioning for it. these norms may create a sense of detachment from previous generations.

♇ different values and a deep sense of urgency and responsibility, no sugarcoating and radical action, centred on benefitting the masses and pushing boundaries.

Lee Know - Vedic Chart Analysis

Per request. I genuinely couldn’t decide if he was an 8 AM (sidereal Libra asc) or 8 PM (sidereal Taurus acc) bc either way he is Venus ruled.

I decided on the 8 AM birth time. If you feel the following doesn’t sound like him, lmk and I’ll try to eventually post an 8 PM - however, idk when I’ll get around to it as I have a lot of requests.

Personality:

Libra ASC w/ ruler (Venus) in First House - Venus is comfortable in its home sign. This is a very beneficial placement. This shows a person who is secure in themselves. This shows an artistic and beautiful person. He can naturally be pulled to create balance and beauty in his life.

8th H ruler (Venus) in First House shows he experiences sudden transformations. He can suddenly find gains and loss in wealth and/or love throughout his life. It would be very different from Bang Chan’s chart where it shows success comes with extreme amounts of patience & devotion to work.

For example: I believe Bang Chan was a trainee for 7 years and Lee’s time was much shorter. This isn’t to say one works harder than the other - simply to show for Lee major life events occur unexpectedly & quickly.

Another thing about 8th ruler in 1st is people tend to be deeply intrigued by them. They can provoke strong emotion in others - positive or negative. For example: Lee can walk into a room, say nothing and take a seat. Everyone in the room will either be charmed or dislike him unprovoked.

Venus conjunct Sun in First House makes Lee a natural diplomat. He can be a good negotiator and communicator. He listens to understand all sides. He doesn’t seek to belittle or arrogantly prove himself correct. He wishes to keep a balance in all aspects of his life.

Romantic Relationships:

4th H ruler (Saturn) in 7th H shows his culture and family - specifically his mom - will impact his relationship. He may deeply desire his parents approve and love his partner. He can experience a lot of frustration in regard to romantic relationships.

On one hand, his Venus conjunct Sun makes him a true romantic. He can desire a deep and fulfilling romance/love story. His Libra Venus conjunct Sun makes him love the idea of having a movie-like romance, he can want the kind of love that makes a person write music/poetry.

Yet, opposition to Saturn in 7th is preventing him from expressing that part of him freely. Saturn in 7th is going to delay relationships and marriage for him. Saturn’s basically pulling energy away from his romantic side and reminding him to work, focus on building a legacy and making your parents happy (4th House Saturn influence). He can put his parent’s happiness before his own - although they prolly don’t ask or want him to do this.

He can meet his spouse through social networks/events. She will approach him. This is because a well placed Venus in 1st shows women come to you. She has that confident and bold personality. She is likely someone who has created a lot status and wealth for herself - or she comes from a wealthy family. She’ll be liked by his parents, she’ll be independently wealthy, she’ll be hardworking and offer security/stability. She may have an interest in photography or design.

Physical Appearance:

💗 Saturn in 7th - usually gives a tall spouse, however Saturn is retro in Aries + 7th H ruler (Mars) in Leo. This indicates a short to medium height.

💗 She is likely very active. She’ll be thin and have strong bone structure - ex: prominent chin, prominent jawline, prominent front teeth.

💗 Youthful appearance - ex: full or rounded cheeks can sometimes create a baby face.

Venus DK shows she will be be beautiful regardless of exact physical traits.

Career: Her physical self is important to her career - ex: entrepreneur, model - face of a brand. She could even be an athlete or have done competitions in her youth. Her work could require long hours, she could work with older people, she may be restricted in appearance and life due to her career.

In the marriage, she’ll gradually take take control over their lives. She can influence how he dresses, behaves and where he goes in life. He can be easy-going on most things and let her take charge. Later into the marriage, this can occasionally create conflict as Lee is a person who strives for balance. He could feel she is overstepping. It’ll likely be an ego related issue as a part of him doesn’t want to feel he is being submissive or controlled by his wife.

For the most part, he likes that she is someone who knows what she wants. She makes sure they’re both secure and she adds a lot to his life. She keeps their lives organized. He’ll appreciate this about her.

He will likely gain benefits through marriage. It could improve his social standing and wealth. For example: His spouse may already have property/home that she will share with him. Or she could purchase land with him - likely going 50/50.

Him and his spouse will add to one another’s wealth - examples: starting a company, investing in a business, brand deals or performing together in some way. Or she's simply wealthy and they don't work together directly - they can give advice and support behind the scenes. These are just a few examples that could occur.

Truthfully, if 8:00 AM is his exact birth time - there are a lot of indicators for a troubled relationship. He may be very focused on choosing someone who he feels will make his parents happy, someone who adds status and wealth rather than taking. The romance and passion might be lacking in their relationship tho. On paper the relationship can read as ideal, on an emotional level there can be a feeling of coldness and lacking warmth. In the long term, this feeling can grow and the relationship could suffer on both sides.

Keep in mind some of this information requires EXACT birth time even like 8 minutes can drastically change the outcome. So if Lee said he was born at 8 but it was even 8:08 a lot information would change.

Marriage Timing for 8 AM:

take this as entertainment as it uses solar return - which can change based on location.

2022-2024 - There could have been someone who caught his interest - specifically in 2023. However, it seems short lived. 2024 SR shows letting go of a connection due to instability in the relationship.

For this birth time, he could marry in 2029-2030 (age 30-31). However, with his specific Saturn placement in 7th marriage can be delayed due to one’s own choice. Instead, he can make a different kind of big commitment to someone.

2032-2033 - he could experience a big change in his relationship. If he is married at this time, they could separate permanently or temporarily or simply be in conflict.

2034-2035 - He could marry in this period as SR shows important relationship events. This would be a good period to marry in as well. Potentially, he could have a kid 2035-2036 too.

💗 I hope everyone just takes this as fun. I do not mean any disrespect in making assumptions. Ofc we don’t know him or his life. I wish him the best tho. Please take it as entertainment.

Pick a Pikmin

How people view you

Disclaimer: take what resonates if a pile doesn’t resonate it might not be for you or you can pick another pile. Remember this is all just for fun ☺️💖

Pile 1: You guys definitely have a connection with fire, with two fire cards and the fire pikmin. You could be a Sagittarius, Leo, Aries or have those prominently in your birth chart. I’m sensing you guys can be “cut throat” or look cut throat. You’re someone who is fiery and passionate and can easily be a leader. You lead in a subtle way or you’re only a leader because others chose you for that position. Lost of people see you as a leader whether you want to be or not. Either way you enjoy it or you’re at least ok with it. The fire within you causes you to have a duality between go getter and child like. Sometimes you’re like an entrepreneur with several innovative ideas and relentless movement forward. Other times you let you inner child play, you like to go out to party or hang out with friends. I think when you’re at parties though you could be fun, but sometimes you can see it as a time to network. If the party has connections you’ll definitely take advantage of that in a good way. You see a good opportunity and you take it. You guys could be really intuitive and like manifesting. You either try to manifest a lot or you receive your manifestations quickly. I’m hearing that the more you enjoy something the quickly it’ll come to you. You could live so fully that what you manifest gets to you quickly and so you’re abundant. You have a few moments of peace and then you’re back at it. You could have found a job you like and it is fulfilling in every aspect of your life because you enjoy it so much. You could also job hop or do several jobs at once but enjoy doing that over staying at one boring job. Maybe a bit forgetful because you’re so quick thinking, a mile a minute thoughts. You don’t like to sit still for too long either. You have gone far or will go far due to that fiery energy though. Your fire can burn really bright and burn you if you’re not careful. Rest and rejuvenation is suggested even if it’s only for a few minutes out of your busy day. Something like an altar or a sacred space for yourself might help get you into a calm zone. Lastly,you might also have tattoos.

Pile 2: I’m seeing someone here who is rather cheerful and optimistic. That doesn’t mean life hasn’t given you some heavy lessons though. It seems like you could have had tower moments or impactful moments in your life before. And while these things were not great and I only hope you’re doing well now, it seems like you didn’t really dwell on it. These things happened to you and you seemed to stay just with what was good for you. Say you lost a good job, you were grateful that at least you got to spend more time with family before you got another job. There’s a sense here that you can find the good in everything and it’s not in a naive way. That’s because you know your path and your calling and that gives you a certain perspective in life. To others you’re a rebel or the black sheep of the family. You’re unconventional, but you deep down know what you’re doing and where you’re going in life. So no matter what happens to you, you’re perspective tends to lean towards the positive. I’m reminded of spiderman when he says he always gets back up. He has a sense of purpose that keeps him going and it seems like so do you. I will say though sometimes you could pretend to be happy in moments where you don’t feel 100% yourself. You feel as if you might need that mask at times, but normally you’re genuinely optimistic. I’m getting a sense of you feeling light. Again I don’t think you have many worries because you know how you’ll get through them. People think you’re not doing anything but really you’re just patient and know when to go and when to rest. I’m also getting that who you are or what you do in life doesn’t sit well with others sometimes. You know there’s nothing wrong with who you or what you do, even if others think that there is. You definitely resonate from a loving place and that love you give yourself is what helps you feel as if everything is ok and will be ok. A lovely energy!Lastly, you could enjoy travel and/or tea. These songs give off the same vibe you do. Especially “_World” in my opinion. The melody might be more accurate to you than the lyrics, that’s up to you though :).

Pile 3:

I’m sensing this group is pretty hardworking and you might work with your hands a lot. I’m seeing chef and even makeup artist. I’m seeing something more creative and a little less handiwork. You could be what some people consider a workaholic. You tend to want to work a lot either because you need the money or just because you want to. It could also be that you’re starting out in whatever career it is you’re doing and you really want to shine so you do everything you can to stand out. You work more or you plan more or you try out new idea at work. “You’re on your grind” basically. If people saw you they’d think your life was ‘perfect’. You could work, workout, cook your own meals, and/or go to school. What people don’t see is that this is all based on a foundation that isn’t beneficial in the long term. You might not get the rest you need. It could be that at work others rely on you so much that they get to take breaks but you don’t. I do think though that people know you’re a self starter or that you might be your own boss so that’s probably why you work so hard.You do have a lot of goals and aspirations that you’re trying to go for, they could even be on a vision board. There are cards here that suggest that people think you need a vacation or to do some meditation. It could also be that you moved away from your childhood home or you feel some type of way about your childhood. You could be someone who grew up too quickly or you don’t fully feel a grownup yet. Either way it leads you to work harder either because it’s all you know or because you want to keep up an appearance. People do perceive you to be really young though. I’m sensing sort of like Rory or Paris from Gilmore Girls. Both feminine energies who have big plans and schedules that they stick too. There could also be some ideas or ways of living that you are being called to move away from though. Particularly about your hardworking lifestyle. People think you might work too hard and not rest enough and you seem to work more when you feel unsatisfied in other areas of your life. You could have a breakup and instead of sitting with that feeling of sadness you go and do work to ignore the feeling. It seems like the best option for you will be to rest whenever possible, your fortune will come in within time. If you feel as if money is all you can think about maybe do some abundance planning it can help with putting the past and future on to paper and out of your mind. It can help you bring money in faster and externalize and financial worries. I wish you luck pile 3.

Introduction

Aisha Patel, born and raised in the United Kingdom to Indian immigrants, Priya and Arham has finally made it to the big leagues! Having nurtured an intense interest in racing and motorsport, often watching Formula One races with her family, her long-time dream is finally coming true.

Her parents, much like most Asians, tried to push their daughter into a more stable profession but soon relented as they watched her skill grow and her flame burn like an inferno.

When it came out that Porsche would be replacing the beloved Haas F1 team on the grid, she jumped at the chance, displaying her racing skills in F3 & F2 by dominating the podiums and impressing a talent scout who hand-picked her for the spot.

Aisha is an ambitious woman, determined and headstrong as she blazes through any blockages that may present themselves whilst consistently pushing herself to the limit both on and off of the track.

Her confidence is infectious as she holds her own candle, always perfecting her skillset whilst embarking on her travels to becoming the first South Asian woman to win a World Drivers Championship. Yet, she remains humble, remembering her roots and maintains a down-to-earth persona that embraces all of those around her.

Driving style

Aisha's driving style is ruthless and aggressive, she becomes a killer when on track as the adrenaline fills her up to her ears and all she can think of being first and staying first.

Although, the young driver has also proven herself to being one of the most calculated on the grid, maintaining her killer instincts whilst upholding an ice cold strategy, whether her race engineers like it or not. She can easily adapt to different tracks and wastes no time in becoming one with the tarmac beneath her wheels.

Yet, she still needs to mature her driving sense, sometimes some fights are not worth it and are not worth sacrificing a front wing for. Her predator like rivalries can sometimes leak over into post-race cool downs, and it has been observed, one too many times that she has been squaring up drivers who made, in her words, "A wrong fucking move, and cost [her] a podium." despite their seasoned years in the game, and her lack thereof.

Mulrooney’s success, as a woman and an Irish immigrant with little education, was as improbable as the Fair View’s remote glamour. Only 26 when she opened the hotel in July of 1898, in two short years she’d come to be known as the richest woman in the Klondike, overseeing an empire that extended from hotels, restaurants and real estate development to mining companies, banks, even utilities. It’s a swashbuckling story, one marked by constant self-reinvention that saw Mulrooney help build a city, make and lose several fortunes, and leave a lasting legacy as a Yukon pioneer.

Yet Mulrooney’s legacy remains little known outside the frozen north. “I think she’s certainly up there with significant women who had an impact on Alaska, and she hasn’t been given the prominence that she deserves,” says Jo Antonson, executive director of the Alaska Historical Society. A true reckoning of Mulrooney’s life reveals her as a hero of the frontier—and perhaps its canniest business owner. 

Born in 1872 in County Sligo, Ireland, Mulrooney stayed behind when her parents emigrated to America and spent her childhood on her maternal grandparents’ farm, surrounded by boys. That experience shaped her and inspired her legendary drive. “I never expected any favors,” Mulrooney told writer Helen Lyon Hawkins, who conducted a series of interviews in the late 1920s for a biography that was never published. “I knew a woman around men who couldn’t do her share is a nuisance and is left behind, so I tried to be in the front always, to lead.” 

Thirteen when she finally joined her parents in the U.S., Mulrooney was unimpressed by life in the coal town of Archbald, Pennsylvania, and soon took a position as a nanny for a wealthy Philadelphia family. After the economic crash of 1891, Mulrooney took her savings to Chicago, sensing opportunity in the city’s preparations for the 1893 World’s Fair. 

Mulrooney purchased a lot just outside the fair’s carnival strip and built on it, renting and then selling the property at considerable profit, which she used to buy a popular restaurant nearby. As the fair closed, Mulrooney learned that San Francisco was planning its own exposition and took her profits westward, where she repeated her real estate speculations. But when an 1895 fire in an uninsured building left her penniless, it was time to start over.

This time she found success in merchant ventures, bootlegging whiskey and other coveted supplies aboard the steamship City of Topeka between Seattle and southern Alaska—then reselling goods at frontier prices. She opened a store in Juneau and was scanning the landscape for opportunity when a prospector strolled into town, showing off some of the gold nuggets he’d found in what seemed like a promising strike in the Klondike. Instantly, Mulrooney began outfitting for an expedition that would change her life, and the frozen frontier, forever.  

Getting to the Klondike gold fields in 1897 required astonishing mettle. The majority of stampeders, as new arrivals were known, came via a brutal overland trek, each explorer hauling gear by sled over the icy, 3,550-foot Chilkoot Pass. Mulrooney’s supplies required 30 such trips. Then came the two-week journey down the turbulent Yukon River to Dawson, for which travelers had to build their own boats. 

Mulrooney landed in Dawson in April 1897, one of the first entrepreneurs on the scene. In an often-told anecdote, Mulrooney describes tossing her one remaining coin in the river for luck, announcing with breezy confidence: “I’ll start clean.”  

But it wasn’t luck that made Belinda Mulrooney rich; it was her unerring ability to anticipate what people would most need. Her goods, including hot water bottles for miners enduring the frigid winter in tents, netted a 600 percent profit from that first trip. She also saw the miners were desperate for a good meal and opened an all-hours restaurant serving hearty homestyle fare.

Mulrooney also had a canny instinct for location. During that first Yukon spring, she scouted ground on which to open her first hotel and chose the junction of the two busiest gold-mining creeks, 16 miles outside of Dawson. The Grand Forks quickly became the miners’ primary gathering place and soon doubled as an official collection office for royalties demanded by the Canadian government. At night Mulrooney put the floor sweepings through a sluice, gleaning an extra $100 or so in gold dust daily. Perfectly positioned for intelligence-gathering, she invested accordingly and by the end of 1897 owned five gold claims—plus almost 20 percent of one of the region’s wealthiest mining companies. 

Ever the expansionist, Mulrooney set out to build the finest hotel in Dawson City, one modeled on the elegant hotels she’d seen in Chicago and San Francisco. Calling it the Fair View, Mulrooney was meticulous in choosing the lace curtains, plush carpets, brass bedsteads and other finery that would make her new hotel the envy of the region’s other hoteliers, who housed most guests in rough dormitories. When explorer Mary E. Hitchcock arrived in Dawson in June 1898, she was deeply impressed and detailed her reaction in her 1899 memoir, Two Women in the Klondike: “The menu, beginning with ‘oyster cocktails,’ caused us to open our eyes wide with astonishment, after all that the papers have told us of the starvation about Dawson.”

The Fair View was the first property in town to have electricity. When miners bet Mulrooney $5,000 that she couldn’t keep the three-story building warm, she bought an old steamboat boiler, attaching a sawmill to provide the fuel. Mulrooney modernized the town in other ways, too, helping bring Dawson its first telephone and telegraph, housing the switchboard in the Fair View, and forming the Hygeia Water Supply Company to provide safe drinking water. It was less than two years since she arrived in Dawson, and already she was one of its foremost citizens.

“She really loomed large in the history of Dawson City,” says Angharad Wenz, director of the Dawson City Museum, adding that if we were to credit a single person with bringing the Klondike into the 20th century, Mulrooney would be the prime candidate. 

As sharp-eyed as she was in business, Mulrooney proved less so in matters of the heart. Disaster came courting in the form of a sham European nobleman, “Count” Charles Eugene Carbonneau—actually a French Canadian barber from Montreal—whom Mulrooney wed in Dawson City on October 1, 1900.

Newspapers around the country published rhapsodic descriptions of the lavish wedding and followed the Carbonneaus on their honeymoon tour of Europe, running photographs of Mulrooney wearing furs and jewels in a mansion the couple rented in Nice. The next few years found the Carbonneaus wintering in Paris, in an apartment near the Champs-Élysées with a bevy of servants. 

But Carbonneau’s profligate spending, dubious investments and mismanagement of Mulrooney’s mining companies emptied the couple’s bank accounts. Leaving the con man in France, where he was soon to be convicted of swindling and embezzlement, Mulrooney returned to Dawson alone in 1904.

Forced to start over yet again, she regathered her energies and in the spring of 1905 followed the next gold strike to Fairbanks, some 400 miles west of Dawson City, buying up claims in partnership with fellow investors. She also purchased several building lots and opened a bank in nearby Dome City. By the time Mulrooney filed for divorce from Carbonneau in July 1906, she was flush once again. 

“She just did not give up, that woman,” says Melanie Mayer, author of the 2000 Mulrooney biography Staking Her Claim. “If she was down, well, she knew how she had gotten up before, and she went at it again from a different angle.”

Perhaps foreseeing the inevitable bust of the Alaskan claims, Mulrooney decamped to Washington State’s fertile Yakima Valley, where she ran a 20-acre farm and orchard, built an imposing stone castle, and reigned there into the 1920s. Locals came to refer to her as the Countess Carbonneau. But this attempt at a bucolic life didn’t prove profitable: She sold the acreage at a loss, leased the castle and moved to a modest cottage in Seattle, where she ended her career in humble fashion, de-rusting minesweepers in the shipyards during and after World War II. Though no longer commanding an empire, Mulrooney continued to prize her self-reliance and practical skill; in a photo taken in her 60s, she stands proudly in front of the seafaring equipment she maintained. 

Still, it was her memories of the Klondike that Mulrooney most prized. Of her fondness for that wild country, she recalled poignantly: “I was young when I went there full of hope.” Later in life, Mulrooney took special pleasure in her membership in the male-only Yukon Order of Pioneers, which made an exception for her mining achievements and civic service. 

In 1957, her money mostly gone, Mulrooney moved to a senior care facility in Seattle, where she died in 1967 at the age of 95. The obituary of the most daring self-made woman of the period read simply: “Born in Ireland, she came to Seattle in 1925. Mrs. Carbonneau was in the Klondike in 1898.” Her small footstone in the city’s Holyrood Cemetery bears only dates, and a name: B.A. Carbonneau.

[mariacallous]

Moms for Liberty, the extremist “parental rights group,” was supposed to help the Republican Party regain the White House. In July, former president Donald Trump called the anti-LGBTQ group with 300 active chapters across the county a “grassroots juggernaut.” They are credited with forcing schools to lift mask mandates, banning books featuring LGBTQ characters, and supporting anti-trans laws and policies across the country. The group was on track to be instrumental to the GOP in the 2024 election.

But, over the course of the past five months, the group has begun to unravel.

Experts have questioned the claims about the size of the group’s membership, and individual members have been exposed as sex offenders and acolytes of the Proud Boys. Then, last month, Moms for Liberty cofounder Bridget Ziegler admitted in a police interview to being in a relationship with her husband and another woman. The interview was conducted after the woman in question alleged that Ziegler’s husband, Florida GOP chair Christian Ziegler, had raped her.

Ziegler’s husband has denied the allegations and refused to resign from his position as GOP chair, despite calls from Florida governor Ron DeSantis and other state Republicans to do so. Ziegler is also a member of the Sarasota County School Board, and has been instrumental in ushering in Florida’s Don’t Say Gay bill, pushing a Christian agenda in public schools, and banning the teaching of critical race theory. On Tuesday night, the board voted 4–1 in favor of a nonbinding resolution calling for her to resign, marking a rapid fall from grace for Ziegler and a potential fatal blow to Moms for Liberty.

“The impact of the Zeigler scandal has been enormous on the Moms for Liberty structure,” Liz Mikitarian, the founder of the activist group STOP Moms for Liberty, which closely tracks the group’s activities, tells WIRED. “We see chapters moving away or taking a break, chapter leadership questioning their roles and scrambling at the national level to save their ‘mom’ brand. The organization is trying to distance itself from the Zieglers, but this is impossible because the Zieglers are interwoven into the very fabric of Moms for Liberty.”

The group was founded in late 2020 by Ziegler, Tina Descovich, and Tiffany Justice. Ziegler’s close ties to the GOP establishment both locally and nationally helped the group get recognition, propelling their grassroots efforts quickly to the national stage. Initially founded to counter mask mandates during the Covid-19 pandemic, the group’s plans were straightforward: They wanted to support school board candidates who pushed their anti-LGBTQ agenda while advocating for the banning of books that feature people of color or members of the LGBTQ community. The group’s growth was extraordinary. In three years, Moms for Liberty claims to have established 300 chapters in 48 states, with a membership of 130,000 parents. While Ziegler resigned from the group in 2021, she has remained a close ally of the group, speaking at its annual conferences and pushing its agenda from her school board seat.

In a sign of just how coveted an endorsement from the group had become in GOP circles, Trump was joined at their convention this summer by GOP presidential candidates Ron DeSantis, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, and entrepreneur and great replacement conspiracy proponent Vivek Ramaswamy.

The group’s support from the GOP came despite widespread reports about the harassment and intimidation campaigns that Moms for Liberty members conducted against school board members, teachers, superintendents, and even other parents. These allegations led the Southern Poverty Law Center to label Moms for Liberty an extremist group earlier this year.

But in recent months, controversies and closer scrutiny of the group’s claims have significantly tarnished the group’s image.

Just days after the Moms for Liberty convention in Philadelphia, Heath Brown, a professor of public policy at the City University of New York, wrote on Medium that while Moms for Liberty claims to be a national movement, the vast majority of its membership is concentrated in just four states: South Carolina, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Florida.

“This suggests that the political power is considerable and expanding in some states, but nearly absent and even waning in others,” Brown wrote.

Research from the Brookings Institution published in October confirmed this, and found that while Moms for Liberty was attracting members in Democratic strongholds, it was winning school board elections only in staunchly conservative regions of the country.

While its rapid growth may have suggested that Moms for Liberty would sweep school board races nationwide in November, 70 percent of its endorsed candidates lost their races, according to an analysis from the American Federation of Teachers. Weeks after the embarrassing election losses, the group was forced to remove two Kentucky chapter chairs from leadership positions after the women posed for photos with members of the Proud Boys militia. The group has a long history of associating with members of the Proud Boys, and Ziegler herself had to deny links to the group after she posed with two members at a victory party after she was elected to the Sarasota County School Board.

Then, the group removed Phillip Fisher Jr., a pastor who coordinates faith-based outreach for Philadelphia’s Moms for Liberty chapter, after it was revealed he was a registered sex offender.

Then came the revelations about the Zieglers.

Initially, the Moms for Liberty groups circled the wagons and slammed the media attention on the story, claiming in a statement on X that the sexual assault allegation made against Christian Ziegler was ​​”another attempt to ruin the reputation of a strong woman fighting for America.”

But in early December, a chapter chair in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, who was also the state legislative lead for the group, announced she and the other members were splitting from the national group to form their own organization because of the leadership’s response to the scandal.

In the weeks since, those who are closely tracking the group’s activities say chapters have gone quiet. Some, including several chapters in Maryland, have been removed from the Moms for Liberty website and their online activity has slowed to a crawl.

“Moms for Liberty has been repeatedly exposed as hypocrites over the past months, but I believe these new issues will be insurmountable to them,” Karen Svoboda, cofounder of Defense of Democracy, a group created to counter Moms for Liberty’s actions, tells WIRED. “Moms for Liberty, the powerhouse that wreaked such havoc on our communities and schools, is becoming undone by their own hubris.”

Despite the vote against her on Tuesday night, Ziegler did not resign, and said the resolution “has no teeth” given that the only person who can remove a school board member is the governor. And given that DeSantis has not asked Ziegler to resign from her position on a Disney oversight board he appointed her to, it’s unlikely he will force her to resign from the Sarasota County School Board.

However, Ziegler has resigned from her position as vice president of School Board Leadership Programs at the Leadership Institute, the highly influential conservative group led by Morton Blackwell, who also cofounded the secretive Council for National Policy. The Leadership Institute has been a major funder of Moms for Liberty since its inception, and Blackwell’s apparent lack of faith in Ziegler could spell trouble for her and Moms for Liberty.

“There are a lot of signs that Blackwell holds the ultimate power over Moms for Liberty,” Maurice Cunningham, a former political science professor at the University of Massachusetts Boston who has tracked Moms for Liberty’s growth closely, tells WIRED. “He will decide Moms for Liberty’s future, and Moms for Liberty cannot continue if he pulls the plug.”

Moms for Liberty did not respond to WIRED’s request for comment about the impact the Ziegler scandal is having on the group or on their membership numbers. Instead, a spokesperson for the group pointed WIRED to a statement issued by Descovich and Justice in the days after the Ziegler scandal broke, distancing the group from Ziegler while also praising her for “remaining an avid warrior for parental rights across the country.”
