#zerbe discusses things

[neven-ebrez]

since everyone's attention is on spn and destiel now, many people are commenting on how awkward the scene seems and if they filmed it separately. do you think there's any truth in that? i think it was filmed before covid shutdown so it's not like they had to keep the social distance or something. i genuinely don't care about the 'is jensen homophobic about destiel' discourse, i think regardless of his personal feelings he wouldn't botch the scene bc of some awkwardness he felt.

Hi anon. I personally haven’t seen anyone say the scene looks awkward (maybe if they hate Destiel they would have this opinion)? Jensen and Misha filmed together right before the virus shut down production. I’ve seen deliberate awkwardness filmed but that scene wasn’t it. If anything, there’s still a lot of narrative space in 15x18, visually. There was some other episode this year that I remember talking about things “hanging” and I’d say this episode also falls into that.

Everything with Dean and Cas visually this episode continues to play with negative space in what is by now, a long-standing visual trend between the two. Then there’s that one scene when they first return to the bunker where they circle and pass each other like two galaxies colliding or something. I’m no gif maker so I don’t have a shot of the 15x18 scene but visually it recalls this:

Then there’s another scene where Billie stalks them around the corner where they are crouched then the reveal and we see the space where together they are now visually missing. Rich used this negative space technique a lot, like... a lot.

The further apart Dean and Cas physically are, the sadder the show generally becomes, with Cas’ death frequently being the greatest distance/sadness for Dean. Just showing and lamenting the negative space, the distance, is the narrative asking for the distance and sadness to be removed. Dean and Cas yearn to be together.

So any “awkwardness”, to me, is simply what I just described. And Jensen doesn’t get mad/frustrated/whatever about Destiel any more. He hasn’t had that attitude in a long time. Here’s them around the same filming time.

Jensen loves Misha and they both love acting their scenes together. He even says stuff like this ⬇️ these days because he’s known about this scene since the show started S15. Bob Berens wrote it first thing when breaking the season.

Destiel is textually part of their story now. It just is.

[neven-ebrez]

13x06 is a post “Hello, Dean” world. After that episode Cas has opportunity but never says it again because he knows the next time it’s “Goodbye, Dean.” instead. Catch me and @mittensmorgul vibrating in the past 3 years ago.

every ‘hello dean’ (and the final goodbye)

[neven-ebrez]

I’ve gotten an ask about the Jensen three month notice Destiel discourse and I just want to say I think people have totally misunderstood what was said. They’ve all been on board and acted towards this ending for over a year. Jensen just probably didn’t know exactly what the scene looked like until just recently. And I can almost guarantee that’s because it’s how he wanted it. He reads one script at a time and acts Dean in the moment without foreknowledge as to give a true emotional experience of someone who just has no clue what’s next for his character. He’s discussed this many times. Even though Destiel was definitely a thing he was told about well in advance, he didn’t really need or want to know every detail of the plot, he never has approached his work that way before. That’s all I really have to say about this particular subject. Also. Time to reblog my PR IS NOT SHOWRUNNING essay one final time I suppose. Hope this helps you anon.

[neven-ebrez]

Hey friends. I’m struggling for the words to say. We deserve to see the original finale script. It was more found family friendly and not such a slap in the face to Dean’s character development. I know in my heart they didn’t want to end the show like this, on these details. It’s still amazing they came back to filming at all. All the costs to keep everything in storage without shooting for months was great.

Personally I’m reaping the show at 15x18, since it was our last episode of true scripted intent. Imo they never should have shot these two edited episodes and instead just did a movie covering 15x19 and 15x20 sometime down the road. So much was just... bizarre. Little things. Other things like wigs and makeup plainly imo show us how truly thrown together this was, as much as the show might not want to admit that. Or maybe they do. They should.

I don’t know how I’m personally going to proceed from here. I feel like I’ve been killed by what I loved but at the same time I know they didn’t want to kill me. Doesn’t change my reality. But also I refuse to believe my time here was wasted. I see the details they wanted to give us and it was a good story before shutdown. I’m begging and praying they publicly explain these changes. I know it’ll put at least some hearts at peace even with the damage done.

Devastating. It’s all just fucking devastating.

I’m still thankful for this show tho. The relationships I’ve made through this show are what I’ll carry with me always. It’s what I’m personally trying to focus on in order to move forward. So check in on your friends when you finish gathering yourselves. Be there for one another. 😭😔💔

[neven-ebrez]

I just want to say always be wary of fans boasting knowledge of set leaks, friends. True or false. Boasting set leaks is a sign of a fan who is looking for attention and that motivation is nothing ever good. Fans that know secrets are out there, whether they came upon the knowledge in a bad way or in a good trusted way. People that know stuff and keep their mouth shut are the ones you know have your best interests at heart. People holding secrets over you as a dangle don’t have good intentions imo. They are looking for control over you. Don’t give it to them.

[neven-ebrez]

Do you think the covid-19 stuff will impact the possibility of things like a destiel kiss? Is that still a possibility, or not any longer?

Kissing is allowed. My friend Natalie at Hypable asked Emily Swallow about this kind of thing recently in one of her articles and Emily talked about what the industry is currently allowing, so long as COVID tests are negative. I personally still think what I always have, that Dean’s response to Cas’ confession is to ask Cas to stay with him, that they’ll hold hands and that Dean will tell him “I love you” back. If a kiss comes after that? That’s just the greatest thing, the single greatest mlm slow burn tv romance depiction that television could ever achieve. I have no idea if they went for it. We’ll all find out together in 2 more episodes. ^_^

[neven-ebrez]

For anyone curious, most of my SPN analysis these days is in twitter threads, not meta essays. But i’m @zerbehunter over there. I wanted to stress again how much I know some of us are putting on the line here. Our hearts. The possibility of not getting what we hope happens. I’ve looked over Dabb era long and hard. What Jack symbolizes. The themes we just keep. getting. It’s all just so deeply coded both subtextually and textually (like Dean’s mixtape to Cas) in the repressed queer experience, like, so many of us fans see that and identify with that not by accident.

Concerning my personal fan experience, my involvement in fandom as a meta writer of Cas I’ve never felt more seen in Supernatural than in 15x18. The only exception to this is seeing what’s become of Becky in 15x04. She’s me. I’m her. I write fan works for the show. I have a Supernatural Etsy shop. I’m a mom with a minivan. I just need some peace and quiet in this house to do billing and orders. 😂

And I’m going to get deeply personal here. This election at the same time as Destiel is quite the online participation experience. It has been quite the ride, quite the overlap in experience. The patience. The waiting. The plainly seeing the truth but no one just coming out and saying Biden was the winner. We knew he was. Days ago. Yet they don’t just say it. Frustration, memes, the hysterical waiting to learn if you were right. “Stay Calm. Let the counting finish.” All this while we tell ourselves we know the truth, Biden has won. They just need to call it.

This is exactly what it’s been like to wait for Destiel. Cas’ 15x18 confession was like a ton of Georgia mail ballots coming in. And these things bared the same feelings for me personally. So much riding on this. The longest waited results in modern (television) history. Well, Biden just went canon with as text after the text of the mail ballots slowly shifts Georgia blue. But Georgia has always been blue, like Dean, that’s a truth that has been repressed by hate. But now there Georgia shines, her true colors. Then I look at 15x18. The timing here feels nothing short of cosmic. Turning Georgia blue is our turning Dean textually queer.

I feel almost crazy thinking and saying that but I want to be frank here in these last few weeks before the finale. I think I’m going to go back and really look at all the lessons of S15 this week, look for some clarity in my expectations. I think it will only make me more sure of myself tho, at least in regards to this.

Well, I’m just very tired. So I guess that’s it. That’s what is rolling around in my head. The election took so much emotionally out of me. I’m probably gonna go reblog and retweet others and then fall asleep. We’re all feeling different things right now, have wildly difference experiences with the show and its creatives. I respectfully don’t want to get involved with debates over who is allowed to speak their experience and who isn’t. This discussion is important because the truth is important. Speak your truth.

[neven-ebrez]

THEN (8x22)

NOW (15x10)

I’m gonna to mention this here like I did on Twitter. These are both from Dabb episodes involving convenience store purchases concerning Dean. Busty Asian Besuties has long been a running horny!Dean gag on the show, illustrating Dean’s tendency to seek pleasure with strangers. Pie, as has long been discussed, represents family and wholeness, seeking and yearning for a different kind of pleasure. Cas wasn’t able to get Dean pie in 8x22 because he planned to leave him. It’s a little silent visual thing, but 15x10 represents a marked change in Dean really starting to follow his true desires. He’s interested in taking control and making real pleasure, real truth, for himself. Oh but Chuck is still interfering with that! Dean isn’t able to buy the magazine just yet! Oh but the desire is there. We see it. It’s giving up one thing in order to pursue another in a life well lived.

[neven-ebrez]

To Dean, Pamela is so Cas-adjacent for him. It’s fear of not knowing. In 4x01 when Dean first heard his rescuer’s name: Castiel, his friend’s eyes got burnt out trying to look at him. Dean connects Pamela with Cas and being scared of Cas’ unknowability. Oh but Dean wants to know him, this great terrifying loving being that tried to warn his friend and that fought to drag Dean outta hell. And so Pamela’s shirt and necklace reflect Dean fascination of Cas, his rescuer.

Pamela’s words, as a figment of his subconscious, are echoed back to Dean by Cas himself in 15x18. Why do you always want what you can’t have? Oh but Dean can have it tho, he just needs to speak his truth.

[neven-ebrez]

zerbe... the almost hand-touching... literally what else could they have done to suggest more to the audience that they SHOULD hold hands

They’ve already said it all with the shot. Rich is very selective about portraying things, too. I’ve had the pleasure of attending his Dick Chat M&G twice but this last time was wonderful! He takes directing very seriously. That imagery, so carefully shot and being there twice back to back doesn’t feel like an accident to me. Neither is the resolution that must come because of it. At the least, the very fucking LEAST, the possibility of them holding hands would have had to cross the audience’s mind because of how the first shot lingered. Literally everything about it. I think it means exactly what it looks like it does.

I mean. And this is missing a shot still.

(X)(X)

[neven-ebrez]

!! Possible (?) Spoilers for the SPN series finale coming up !! Hello you! I just saw Misha saying that Cas ending is "very finale" and that its the ending Misha would have wanted/written... Didn't Misha say he wanted Cas to sacrifice himself in the end? Or do you think there is a chance its still more positive cause Misha openly talked about Cas dying and now he just said that and he cant just reveal a spoiler like that can he? I'm sad but I always thought SPN would screw me over lol

He’s historically said that, yes. The question everyone should be asking is what does “final” look like in a world where Living and Dying is more or less a revolving door? And the answer is it simply looks like a world that has different rules than what we are used to. The afterlife system, as a revolving door traversed by the supernatural, must change. S15 tells us this in every way except bluntly. It shows us with Kevin, with Rowena, with Ruby. It will undoubtedly do it with Charlie.

I think Misha has been carefully instructed as to what his PR around the subject is supposed to be and that he’s following it as best he can. “Final” in this case, is simply the best way to describe the change that is coming to the very fabric of the universe’s reality under Chuck. Andrew Dabb (and Singer?) has described the ending this way as well.

Does Misha’s words sound discouraging as hell given what we know of what he’s said in the past about what he wishes for Cas? Well, yeah. I definitely think Cas fans should prepare for the worst but not necessarily expect it. In general, it’s perfectly fine to “reap” the show before 15x20 and just either wait to hear and then watch or just never watch at all if you hear it’s something you don’t like. There’s plenty of shows I’ve never finished for various reasons. For example I loved Person of Interest but I’ll probably never watch the final season again but would gladly watch the first three seasons over and over. My advice is that you know you BEST and you should do whatever you have to in order to save yourself the most heartache (if you are very emotionally invested) and don’t be afraid to cherry pick your experience of the show. For example all of S14 I fast forwarded through Pelegrino’s solo stuff because it brought me nothing positive. Didn’t care. Skip.

Anytime I worry about anything with SPN (and I’m forever gonna be sad we’ll never see what the production’s true end vision was before the pandemic made end production more challenging) I always remember to take a step back and look at the greater themes and that usually helps me refocus my personal expectations. ^_^

[neven-ebrez]

Im so so so confused about 15x13. Wtf was those flashbacks of Jo/Ruby ?? Did I miss something ? It means that circa s4 Jo was already on earth, which, ok i rly dont remember her backstory so maybe, but... She KNEW Ruby was on Lucifer's side ? Even tho NOBODY except Lilith and Lucifer himself knew ? That doesnt make a goddam sense that a demon as cunning as Ruby would share those infos with any Angel, even a rogue one like Jo...

Hey there anon. Let me start by saying 15x13 was a good concept episode in *theory* but it was so poorly executed that I’m not sure about everything I even *think* I understand and I’ve already watched it a few times. I usually try to give Buckleming credit where credit is due. They do deliver on theme fairly consistently, if not exactly with elegance. I want to say 15x13 folds into this more heavily than most but the thing is... I’m not entirely sure it’s by design, from any standpoint.

Simply, Buckleming wanted to see J2’s wives be frenemies. That was the concept they started with. And they absolutely wrote to concept over characterization. They said “Well! Until now we’ve been letting people assume Anael fell with all the host during the 8x23 Angel Fall Event but ACTUALLY we never said that’s when she came to Earth *exactly* so we have some leeway here! Yeah she talked about things post “The Fall” but ACTUALLY she could have been talking about her personal Fall which happened Chuck knows when now! You see!” And then they wrote 15x13 from there aiming for the S4 timeline after Ruby was introduced in Genevieve’s vessel but before Ruby was killed. It’s the same type of thing they did for 14x20 essentially, only with God. It’s subjective whether these detailed canon jossed reveals work or not. Re: characterization: I liked 14x20 personally but disliked 15x13 because one highlighted the show’s values (free will, team work, chosen family, always keep fighting) while the other stood divided.

For Jo you’re gonna have two reactions: those fans who liked her original implied 8x23 Fall story/situation over the new clarified canon and those who don’t. I personally don’t like it. I liked what they were doing with Jo up til that point. I liked that she was kinda like Cas (wayward) and now she’s decidedly... not. I don’t know what the aim was for her character doing this reveal and accounting for her new actions. Maybe she’s supposed to be an example of what not to do? Don’t be selfish?? Don’t run and hide?? Idk. Imo if I can’t tell such things, like why the writing is moving in the direction it is moving, then to me it’s just not organic and thus, not good for episodic tv (and organic character based writing is essential to episodic tv imo). Jo’s whole thing is she looks out for herself, yes, but she also is dedicated to meddling because she dislikes what God has done. The reveal that she wanted to run away and hide while billions of humans died?? When she could have continued helping them (and even if in a small capacity)? She loves pretty things and is highly materialistic, yet is fine letting it all burn, all that beauty?? And now how she’s refusing to pick a side, here at the end of all things? Well. That just doesn’t sit well with me. She meddles. Now she doesn’t. Just... why? I don’t feel like they told me why.

And that’s not touching anything with Ruby and why they would sometimes work together. For me it’s an issue about who Anael is, her core character. Imo they betrayed that and it’s like... they didn’t have to?? They could have easily written something that maintained who she was at her core instead of diving so hard into concept that seemingly sits apart from everything else. It’s just inorganic writing imo. Like I said, 15x13 was... a lot. Concerning your specific raised concern over Ruby spilling her secrets, again, concept over characterization. Keeping her true allegiance from the Winchesters was paramount to Ruby’s involvement with them. Everything depended on it. So, no. I 1000% agree with you. Imo it doesn’t make sense that her character would tell someone who wasn’t even a friend her true allegiance. Like??? This person could be tortured for info? Or they could just betray her if a better opportunity presented itself?? No spy would do this?

A meddler who is no longer meddling and a spy who can’t keep secrets. While this episode heavily delved into opposite imagery and “meet in the middle” imagery (there’s a lot to be written on this angle and I don’t know if anyone has yet b/c I’m not on the internet in general much these days), I really don’t think Buckleming needed to change so much character-wise (even Rachel’s portrayal of the Empty, no longer slightly unhinged, had me having to really look at the psychological WHY) with 15x13 but they did and for now we are stuck with it.

[neven-ebrez]

Also drunk on power he asked Dean to confess his love to him. It’s been so painful for Cas to be in love with such a repressed person. And Cas’ whole struggle has been over the question of whether or not his father’s law: “do not fall in love with humans” was just. In The Man Who Would Be King Cas asks for a sign that loving Dean is wrong. And he said if he didn’t get one then he would do what he felt was right. Then he did. 15x18 was a gift to give us this textual context for Cas’ actions. So much of Supernatural doesn’t make sense without it. And it doesn’t make sense of Dean’s actions either unless we see that Dean is a repressed man in love with a angel that told him he’s worthy of being saved and loved. Castiel has changed Dean Winchester’s world.

we shoulda known Cas was gay when his first act as an unhinged feral god was to kill a homophobic pastor and then replace the stained glass window of Jesus with a stained glass window of himself. like. don’t pretend like every queer person hasn’t had that fantasy at least once.

[neven-ebrez]

The shape of the path to victory

I’m going to start by saying I’m so proud of all of TFW’s actions tonight. There’s so much to say I don’t know where to start. In this episode we see the solution to the problem with Chuck. You can’t stop him. You can’t beat him. Not only is he a problem, but even with him sealed away, the monsters are a problem as well. Sam also points out a critical point. Chuck doesn’t like to directly cause action. He prefers to watch, not take things into his own hands. And so the show outlines (pretty specifically) its path to victory. And the more I think about it the more I think we’ve already been shown the way. TFW must simply get Chuck to hands on create some other way. So it’s no surprise he whips out his guitar this episode as well. We also see once more what happens when Cas is taken out of the picture. Dean is hopeless, just going through the motions. Sam never saw what Dean told Billie in 13x05 or he would have known that future Dean is true Dean. There’s no true “living” for Dean without Cas.

Chuck creating for himself is only one piece of the puzzle tho. The monsters are still a problem. They must be eliminated or there is no future. I’m not sure how the show is gonna approach that part of the equation tho. There’s a few ways they could do it. We’ve seen Jack change humans into Angels tho. Perhaps the answer is Jack changing monsters into humans or Angels? This is decidedly less specific within the show imo. I think Billie choosing to wait til Sam decided to save Cas and also til Dean apologized is also key in some way. As Sam has yet to realize (or maybe he has) there is no future for any of them without Cas with them. The show is saying that much anyway. Sam had to make a choice, the right choice. And he made it so now the next step starts. Slowly, on the path towards victory.

Counseling Theories Series!

Hi everyone!  I’ve decided that I want to do a little series of posts regarding some of the different counseling theories!  Like every subfield of psychology, there are a lot of different theories regarding counseling.  These theories address things such as the counselor-client relationship, different methods or strategies used, and the underlying beliefs about the purpose of counseling!  I’m going to do a quick introduction of each of the theories I’m going to discuss under the “read more” (since I know no one wants to scroll a million miles to get past this post), so if you’re interested, go ahead and read the full post and stay tuned as I get more in depth about each theory and the psychologist(s) who helped develop it!

1. Psychoanalytic Theory

This is the theory that gets the most attention in “pop psychology”.  This theory uses things such as transference, free association, and dream analysis to determine what in going on in a person’s unconscious mind.  The core belief is that these unconscious thoughts are what drive behavior, so when a person is behaving abnormally, the unconscious needs to be explored.  Key psychologists in psychoanalytic theory are Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and Karen Horney.

2. Adlerian Theory

One of my personal favorites, Adlerian theory believes in the importance of the individual perspective, a person’s social life, and striving towards goals.  This theory focuses on the subjective experiences of the client rather than being a technique-driven approach like most other theories.  The key psychologist in this theory is Alfred Adler.

3. Existential Theory

This is yet another theory that is not technique-driven, because it is typically utilized alongside another approach.  This theory addresses existential questions such as freedom, meaningfulness, responsibility, and death.  The focus is on the future and the client’s potential, and uses existentialism to help a person realize their potential.  Key psychologists in existential theory are Soren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Viktor Frankl.

4. Person-Centered Theory

As the name suggests, this theory is all about the client.  Rather than having sessions that are driven by a counselor where the client is along for the ride, the counselor acts more as a guide as the client explores his or her own thoughts and comes to his or her own conclusions.  This theory believes that all people are inherently good and are capable of growth.  The key psychologist in this theory is Carl Rogers.

5. Gestalt Theory

In Gestalt theory, the focus is on the “here and now”.  Clients are encouraged to be aware of everything that they do, from taking a deep breath to shaking their leg to rolling their eyes and every other action.  The ultimate goal of Gestalt theory is to allow for mindfulness and awareness of one’s experiences.  The key psychologist in this theory is Fritz Perls.

6. Behavioral Theory

Behavioral theory, as the name suggests, focuses on a person’s behaviors.  This theory is based on learning theories, such as classical and operational conditioning, and believes that maladaptive behaviors form from faulty learning.  Essentially, behaviorism strives to reteach the client to help them function healthily.  Key psychologists in behavioralism are E.L. Thorndike and B.F. Skinner.

7. Cognitive-Behavioral Theory

Perhaps the most widely used therapy in the treatment of mental disorders today, cognitive-behavioral theory is all about changing dysfunctional thinking in order to reduce maladaptive behaviors.  This theory uses homework assignments, education, and teaching coping skills (along with a multitude of other techniques) in order to help a client in a timely manner.  Key psychologists in this theory are Aaron Beck and Albert Ellis.

8. Choice/Reality Theory

This theory is known for being blunt and direct, because it uses direct questioning in order to help clients realize their responsibility for their thoughts and behaviors.  The client is given the opportunity to evaluate their own behaviors and relationships and to set goals that suit their needs.  The key psychologist in this theory is William Glasser.

9. Feminist Theory

Feminist theory looks at the sociocultural aspect of a person’s life when addressing maladaptive thoughts or behaviors.  The focus is on whether a person is a minority and is being oppressed by society and aims to empower the client.  While it is called feminist theory, it can also be used in racial, sexual orientation, and ethnic contexts as well as gender.  Some of the key psychologists that have contributed to feminist theory are Jean Baker Miller, Carolyn Zerbe Enns, Oliva M. Espin, and Laura S. Brown.

alliantgroup and CEO Dhaval Jadav Host America Rising: STEM, Leadership & the Future of U.S. Business at Headquarters in Houston

During the two-day conference, attendees were treated to a series of interactive panels highlighting some of the most crucial issues facing U.S. business leaders and policymakers. On the second day of the event, Thomas DeLong, a Senior Fellow, former Philip J. Stomberg Professor at the Harvard Business School and author of “Flying Without a Net,” gave the conference’s keynote lecture on the importance of leadership and empathy within any successful and sustainable business. During this interactive session, DeLong focused specifically on the importance of implementing leadership strategies that keep employees engaged with the broader goals of the organization and highlighted how developing strong personal relationships and encouraging employee empowerment can achieve this end. Using a case study that referenced C&S Wholesale Grocers self-managed team concept, DeLong illustrated how empowering employees to work together improved productivity and promoted accountability among employees in one of C&S’s self-managed warehouses.

“Their voices had never counted before. No one was listening to them,” said DeLong of the workers interviewed during this study. “And now they are the ones making decisions.”

Keeping with the theme of leadership, a presentation by alliantgroup Vice Chairman of Professional Services and former CEO of Deloitte Italy, Frank Tirelli, and former COO of Grant Thornton, Jim Brady, focused on a number of strategies to build and manage a successful professional services organization. Leveraging their combined seven decades of experience within the industry, Tirelli and Brady discussed how professional services has evolved over the years and where executives from these organizations should be focusing their time to grow their firms. Specifically, Tirelli and Brady emphasized the importance of putting in place an organizational structure that emphasizes professional development and in building out a long-term growth strategy for attracting new business from emerging industries.

“There are only two things I think about every single morning,” said Tirelli. “How am I going to make the people I work with and work for successful, and how am I going to make my clients successful?”

In addition to these events, the conference also included a panel on the growing importance of cybersecurity protocols for mid-sized businesses and a presentation from alliantgroup CEO, Dhaval Jadav, awarding 13 STEM scholarships to students who are pursuing higher education within a STEM field.

Those in attendance included former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Mike Johanns, former Alabama Governor, Bob Riley, former Missouri Governor, Kit Bond, former U.S. Congressmen, Harold Ford, Jr. and Rick Lazio, former Senior Counsel to the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, Dean Zerbe, former IRS Commissioners, Mark W. Everson, Steven Miller and Kathy Petronchak, and alliantgroup CEO, Dhaval Jadav.

“I would like to thank everyone who took the time to attend this event,” said Jadav. “Our goal in hosting these conferences is to provide thought leadership to our CPA firms and the businesses they serve. By providing them with the information they need to stay ahead of emerging economic, industry and policy trends, it is our hope that we are offering another avenue to ensure their continued success.”
