En la noche del sábado y por la novena jornada del Torneo Clausura 2025, Atlético Tucumán recibió a https://bolavip.com/ar/resultados/futbol/equipo/river/df616ea8-a1e0-4517-a729-f67563922eed/noticias

que fue fundamental para el final de la jugada.

La acción inició en el tiro de esquina desde el costado izquierdo, donde Lautaro Godoy envió el centro al segundo palo, precisamente sobre el vértice más lejano del área chica. Ante una claramente pésima salida del arquero del Millonario, el defensor paraguayo ganó por arriba y envió la pelota al fondo de la red y hacer que el Estadio Monumental José Fierro delire a su ritmo.

, donde la enorme mayoría de los goles que recibe son a través de esa modalidad. Sin ir más lejos, apenas un puñado de minutos antes de que Ferreira anote el 1-0, hubo otro gol que se dio a través de la pelota parada pero fue anulado por posición adelanta, según el VAR.

Es que también desde un córner, el propio paraguayo había ganado en el segundo palo y Leandro Díaz anotaba el primer tanto del encuentro. Sin embargo, tras una revisión exhaustiva del VAR, le informaron a Facundo Tello que el Loco estaba en fuera de juego y se anuló la jugada. Pero fue un claro aviso de lo que volvería a pasar solamente unos instantes más tarde.

Como si eso no alcanzara, el pasado miércoles River también sufrió un gol de pelota parada ante Palmeiras por el primero de los cruces de los cuartos de final de la Copa Libertadores de América. Nuevamente desde el tiro de esquina, en ese caso fue Gustavo Gómez el que cabeceó en absoluta soledad en la zona del segundo palo. Minutos más tarde, se repitió y esa vez la pelota pegó en el poste.

Cabe destacar que hace tan solo algunas semanas, Ferreira también le convirtió un gol a Boca, cuando Atlético Tucumán lo eliminó de la Copa Argentina por una victoria por 2-1 en el Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades de Santiago del Estero. Aquel cotejo fue uno de los primeros que tuvo a Leandro Paredes en cancha, pero el zaguero guaraní se las ingenió para ser el protagonista, igual que hoy.

To understand why India's government is so rattled by Trump's decision we have to look at the bigger picture, which includes remittances and the demand for US dollars overseas.

First, the $100,000 fee imposed on H-1B visas will effectively kill the program.  It is, effectively, an H-1B travel ban without going through the long process of officially rescinding the Immigration Act of 1990.  The fee is paid by the company hiring the foreign workers and a $100,000 markup would mean only the most valuable employees would be worth the cost.  Many critics of open border policies argue that this is a good thing.  The narrative has long been that American companies need foreign workers because:

1) Americans won't work in jobs that foreigners are willing to do.

2) There aren't enough American workers with the skills required to fill certain job sets.

These excuses are generally a distraction from the real reason - Third world immigrants are willing to work for up to 30% less than their American counterparts. Why? Because the US dollar's buying power in third world economy more than makes up for the 30% loss in wages.  For example, an income of $2000 US per month equates to an "upper class lifestyle" in India.

In other words, it's a win-win-lose scenario:  The corporations win on lower labor costs, the third world migrants win by wiring their wages back home where they will buy far more, and the average American worker loses out on job opportunities.

India accounts for 71% of H-1B visa holders and is expected to be hit hardest by the new fees. Currently, around 300,000 "high-skilled" Indian workers, mostly in the technology industry, are on H-1B visas in the US.  The term "high skilled" is up for interpretation, many migrant workers lie about their skill sets before coming to the US and offer little in comparison to the average US worker in the same field.

Another indirect winner in this game is India's economy.

India is the largest recipient of remittances from the US in the world (cash wired by migrants from the US back home).  Without feeding on remittances from America, India loses out on over $140 billion (around 30% of their annual tax revenues).  Without this cash, India's economy would implode.

?itok=5jJmuGeq

Furthermore, India's rupee has hit record lows against the dollar this month.  The country is highly dependent on oil imports and oil is primarily purchased with dollars.  The flow of dollars from migrants in the US into India's economy is more important than ever.  The loss of dollars flowing from 300,000+ Indian workers living in the US could be devastating.

That said, it is not the responsibility of the US to sacrifice American jobs just to keep India's economy afloat.  If companies actually attempted to train or hire American workers first at a fair wage and could not find enough people to fill necessary positions, then the story on foreign visas might be different.  However, until now, there has been no incentive for corporations to try.

The Sacramento Police Department announced on X early Saturday that 64-year-old https://x.com/AlHSantana

was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, shooting into an occupied building, and negligent discharge of a firearm. The incident targeted an ABC affiliate television station in Sacramento. It came just days after ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show over misinformation and disinformation about the suspect in Charlie Kirk's assassination.

To recap, during Kimmel's opening monologue on Monday, he suggested that Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old, furry-obsessed, in a relationship with a transgender, charged in the fatal shooting of Kirk at Utah University, was aligned with "MAGA Gang."

"The MAGA gang [is] desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them," Kimmel stated in the opening monologue.

By Wednesday, Kimmel was fired, sparking outrage among leftists who accused the Trump administration of influencing the decision, shouting "fascists" in protest. Yet according to an insider report by the Wall Street Journal, the real driver had nothing to do with the White House. Instead, Kimmel's ouster was driven by an https://www.zerohedge.com/political/never-go-full-retard-real-story-behind-jimmy-kimmels-firing

Hernandez-Santana is a former health policy analyst for the California Rural Indian Health Board. In 2019, he sued the non-profit group for discrimination and retaliation, alleging that he was terminated after being denied time off to care for his disabled son.

According to the complaint, Hernandez-Santana's job involved tracking state legislation and assisting with Affordable Care Act implementation. When Hernandez-Santana was fired in 2018, he got into a verbal confrontation with his supervisors, who ultimately called the police, according to the complaint. The suit was withdrawn in 2020.

A LinkedIn account matching that name indicates he previously was a legislative director for the California Federation of Teachers, and is now retired and engaged in "full time parenting."

Sacramento Police wrote on X that the suspect fired shots at the ABC building from a vehicle.

The problem with Kimmel is that he is part of the globalist/leftist informational war against Trump.

The problem with Jimmy Kimmel is that he very obviously hates the millions of Americans who don’t think like him.

He joked about them dying of COVID. He called them fascists and neo-nazis for attending CPAC. That’s not the kind of person who should be gifted a national TV show. https://t.co/dGw6FplXCZ

neighboring Estonia's airspace over the Gulf of Finland.

"Three Russian fighter jets over Tallinn is one more hard proof that Eastern Sentry is long due," she stated.

The Lithuanian defense chief concluded her message by invoking an incident which makes clear she's in favor of shooting down Russian jets.

"Türkiye set an example 10 years ago. Some food for thought," the minister wrote.

This was in reference to the unprecedented incident in which Turkish Air Force F-16s downed a Russian Su-24 over the Turkey-Syria border area in November 2015.

Lithuania has joined Poland's call for urgent consultations with members of the NATO alliance under its Article 4. Article 4 consultations can lead to the alliance taking action if the consensus is reached.

Upon Friday's incident the Estonian foreign ministry described that three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets "entered Estonian airspace without permission and remained there for a total of 12 minutes."

Additionally, EU diplomat Kaja Kallas, who hails from the Baltic country and was the first female prime minister, blasted the incursion as "an extremely dangerous provocation".

European leaders are using these increasing instances to push for an 'eastern flank' aerial defense shield protecting NATO. Just last week the two largest eastern members of NATO said that Russian drones breached their airspace.

The Polish instance was the most serious, given Warsaw accused Russia of intentionally sending a 'wave' of drones - up to 19 - which resulted in its military urgently scrambling jets to track them. Trump later seemed to downplay the incident.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/sec-backs-trumps-proposal-to-shift-earnings-reports-from-quarterly-to-semiannual-5917488?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=ZeroHedge

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intends to propose a rule change that would shift corporate earnings reporting from a quarterly schedule to a semiannual basis.

?itok=rg6Xp4TP

Paul Atkins, head of the Wall Street regulatory watchdog, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T290jIJ-KsM

CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Sept. 10 that he welcomed President Donald Trump’s suggestion for the adjustment.

“In principle, I think to propose change in what our rules are now, I think would be a good way forward, and then we’ll consider that and move forward after that,” Atkins said.

Last week, in a Truth Social post, Trump https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-proposes-ending-quarterly-earnings-reports-switching-to-semiannual-5915225

that companies “should no longer be forced to ’report'” every three months, recommending a six-month disclosure requirement instead.

“This will save money and allow managers to focus on properly running their companies,” Trump said on his social media platform.

The current law was enacted in 1970, following the traditional semiannual practice.

If the proposal is approved, it will be left to the market to decide whether to maintain quarterly earnings reporting or transition to a six-month reporting period, Atkins noted.

“For the sake of shareholders and public companies, the market can decide what the proper cadence is,” he said.

When asked whether the change would adversely impact retail investors, Atkins noted that there is a diverse array of tools that disseminate information about businesses, stocks, and the economy. He added that investors—professional and retail—obtain information primarily from earnings calls with CEOs and CFOs.

“I think it’s a good time to look at the whole panoply of ways that people get information and how it’s disseminated and what’s fit for purpose,” the SEC chief said.

“I think that’s what we’re intending to do.”

According to Atkins, there has been a discussion on this issue for the past few years, with experts stating that quarterly reporting “emphasizes a short-term type of thinking.”

During his first term, Trump https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1030416679069777921?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1030416679069777921%7Ctwgr%5E4372275c02d4287a2224a3d2270133b8d4a04d92%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Fworld-us-canada-45226228

on X (then Twitter) that global business leaders told him that a semiannual regimen “would make business (jobs) even better in the U.S.”

“'Stop quarterly reporting & go to a six month system’ said one,” Trump wrote in 2018.

“That would allow greater flexibility & save money. I have asked the SEC to study!”

While then-SEC Chairman Jay Clayton initiated a https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2018-287

shortly after the president’s comments, a report determined that quarterly requirements lead to “greater transparency of information and a lower cost of capital for companies seeking to raise funds.”

The study did note, however, that issuing guidance does tie executives to “short-term thinking.”

Anupam Satyasheel, founder and CEO of Occams Advisory, a global financial advisory firm, says it is a “welcome move” as quarterly reporting places “massive pressure” on companies.

“It doesn’t allow them time to adjust to economic cycles, and then the relentless pressure of analysts adds to business decisions and business forecasts,” Satyasheel told The Epoch Times.

The New York Stock Exchange in New York City on April 4, 2025. Samira Bouaou/The Epoch Times

Switching to semiannual reporting, he says, will reduce “the short-term focus.”

“Overall, I feel that semiannual reporting is a step in the right direction and will be welcomed by public companies,” Satyasheel added.

At the same time, there could be downside risks, such as the potential decrease in transparency, according to Marc Fandetti, portfolio strategist at Armstrong Advisory Group.

“As regulators consider reducing reporting frequency, they should weigh not just the savings but also the potential losses—losses to investors resulting from less transparency and to the economy resulting from impaired market efficiency,” Fandetti https://blogs.cfainstitute.org/investor/2025/09/18/quarterly-earnings-signal-vs-noise-cost-vs-benefit/

for the CFA Institute.

If approved, the United States would join China, the UK, Australia, Japan, and many other countries that maintain the semiannual mandate for publicly listed companies on their stock exchanges.

President Trump's executive order earlier this year to dismantle the Department of Education comes as the president highlighted a disturbing and inconvenient truth about Baltimore City's Democratic Party-run "https://www.zerohedge.com/political/democratic-partys-shocking-mismanagement-turns-baltimore-schools-failure-factory

coverage of the crime-ridden city's education crisis. Keep in mind, the metro area is mainly controlled by leftists at City Hall, with virtually no diversity when it comes to Republicans holding positions of power.

A https://foxbaltimore.com/news/project-baltimore/baltimore-city-high-school-sonja-santelises-achievement-academy-math-proficiency

by Papst released this past week may catch the White House's attention, highlighting yet another inconvenient truth about the stunning failure of Baltimore City Public Schools in terms of academic outcomes, proving that simply throwing more taxpayer funds at the problem is not a viable solution.

?itok=XFTLMh4F

Papst spoke with Carl Stokes, a former Baltimore City Council member and charter school operator, who was visibly frustrated when asked about the fact that for the fourth consecutive year, not a single student tested proficient in math at Achievement Academy in northeast Baltimore.

Here's the Papst–Stokes conversation, woven into the report on yet more failures from Baltimore:

"You're shaking your head," Project Baltimore's Chris Papst noted of Stokes during an interview.

"Well, of course," replied Stokes. "How long have we been talking about this?"

Stokes, for years, has been talking about the lack of education for many students in Baltimore City Public Schools.

"They do a horrible job," Stokes remarked.

Now, Stokes is responding to what Fox45 News discovered in the recently released results for the state known as MCAP – the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program.

"That school should be closed," stated Stokes.

?itok=GRby7SUU

Achievement Academy at Harbor City is a high school in northeast Baltimore. According to MCAP data analyzed by Project Baltimore, Achievement Academy has not had a single student test proficient in math in four years. Over the last four school years, 134 students at the school have taken the state math exams. Not one scored proficient.

"It says that the leadership is worthless, pretty much. They are failing their mission. They are failing the students," said Stokes.

City Schools, on its website, defines Achievement Academy as an alternative placement school for students who struggle in traditional academic settings. The school's vision, according to its website, "is to cultivate lifelong learners and productive citizens."

And the school gets a lot of taxpayer money to achieve that vision. According to state data, in 2021, Achievement Academy received $20,014 for each one of its 372 students. By 2024, Achievement Academy had an enrollment of 202 and received $42,618 per student. In other words, over those four school years, Achievement Academy's per student funding more than doubled and not one student, over those years, tested proficient on the state math exams.

?itok=m2RYfYRP

"When you look at a school like Achievement Academy, and you look at the amount of money it's getting and the education the students apparently aren't getting, who do you hold accountable?" Questioned Papst.

"You start with North Avenue headquarters. You begin with that leadership. From superintendent, CEO and her cabinet. And then the local school leadership," responded Stokes.

, in collaboration with Fox45 News. He has spent years reporting on optically displeasing headlines that merely expose how progressive elites running the school system have effectively robbed multiple generations of children of a future for short-term gain to line their pockets and possibly funnel taxpayer funds into the Democratic Party machine, which is nothing more than corrupt unions.

The American board members would have national security and cybersecurity credentials and the remaining board member, chosen by current owner ByteDance, will be excluded from the security committee, according to a senior White House official.

“So all of those details have already been agreed upon, now we just need this deal to be signed and that will be happening, I anticipate, in the coming days,” Leavitt said. Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping finalized the deal in a phone call on Friday.

Talks earlier this week between US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in Madrid yielded a vague framework agreement for spinning off ByteDance’s US TikTok operations, but details of that framework had yet to be made public. Today for the first time we got concrete details of the shape of the deal. Meanwhile, Trump extended the deadline for TikTok’s divestiture until Dec. 16. Congress passed a bipartisan law requiring ByteDance to divest of TikTok by January 2025.

As previously reported, the The TikTok arrangement will see current owner ByteDance hold less than 20%, with new investors including Oracle, Andreessen Horowitz and private equity firm Silver Lake Management controlling the rest.

Indeed, Oracle is emerging as the biggest winner from the deal: in addition to becoming a lead investor, the tech giant will also host and manage US user data via its cloud infrastructure, and act as TikTok’s security provider and monitor the app for safety, working with the US government. As a result, Americans’ data will be stored in the US with no access by China, which according to a White House official will allow American users to continue using the popular app "safely and securely."

“The data and privacy will be led by one of America’s greatest tech companies, Oracle, and the algorithm will also be controlled by America as well,” Leavitt said.

Trump was once a critic of TikTok but has shifted his views of the app, crediting it with helping him make gains among young voters in last year’s election.

Advertisers and affiliates soon called the network expressing concern about Kimmel’s show... -https://www.wsj.com/business/media/jimmy-kimmel-decision-behind-the-scenes-e1ecbbf2?mod=djemalertNEWS

"Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located," said Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar's broadcasting division. "Continuing to give Mr. Kimmel a broadcast platform in the communities we serve is simply not in the public interest at the current time, and we have made the difficult decision to preempt his show."

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr blasted Kimmel on Wednesday, telling podcaster Benny Johnson that Kimmel's comments were "truly sick," and that there's a "strong case" for legal action against both ABC and Disney (ABC is a Disney subsidiary). "This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney," said Carr. "These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."

BREAKING: The FCC Chairman is threatening immediate action against Jimmy Kimmel, ABC, and Disney for deliberately misleading the public by claiming Charlie Kirk’s assassin was a MAGA Conservative.

Yet according to Nexstar, Carr's comments weren't a factor. "The decision to preempt ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ was made unilaterally by the senior executive team at Nexstar, and they had no communication with the FCC or any government agency prior to making that decision," a Nexstar spokesman said.

Disney executives weighed whether Kimmel should address the controversy directly on Wednesday night’s program. According to people familiar with the matter, Dana Walden, co-chairman of Disney Entertainment, and Chief Executive Robert Iger decided his planned remarks risked inflaming the situation further.

After the conversation between Kimmel and Walden, she and other senior executives thought that the star’s approach could make the situation worse, people familiar with their conversations said. Executives also discussed staff safety, including threatening emails staff on Kimmel’s show had received after Carr’s remarks and the posting of some of their personal information online, the people said.

According to a person close to the show, Kimmel was planning to say that MAGA was purposefully twisting his words. So, another lie.

Industry and Political Response

Hollywood unions and producers criticized Disney’s move, calling it corporate capitulation. Damon Lindelof, co-creator of the ABC drama Lost, said he would not want to work for a company that sidelined Kimmel. Former late-night host David Letterman described the decision as “managed media” and warned of broader consequences.

“We all see where this is going, correct? It’s managed media. And it’s no good,” David Letterman, the former late-night host, said at an Atlantic magazine event Thursday.

Actor Ben Stiller said (and then blocked replies) "This isn't right," to which Elon Musk replied "He went full retard. Never go full retard."

Democratic lawmakers and former President Barack Obama accused the Trump administration of censorship, while Trump applauded the decision and urged other networks to follow. “They give me only bad press, but they’re getting a license,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One.

Some media critics said Kimmel’s benching, coupled with CBS’s recent decision to cancel its late-night show hosted by frequent Trump critic Stephen Colbert when its season ends in May 2026, will lead shows to self-censor.

Kimmel’s removal comes as CBS prepares to sunset Stephen Colbert’s late-night program in 2026. Media critics say the combination of events could have a chilling effect on political commentary in late-night television.

“The degree of capitulation going forward will to some extent be a function of what kind of financial cudgel the administration has to wield,” said Lee Levine, a retired media lawyer. “Whenever the cudgel has been pretty significant, sooner or later the network caved in the recent past.”

For Disney, the choice to take Kimmel off the air was the product of overlapping political pressure, regulatory risk, affiliate revolt, and advertiser anxiety - a convergence that left little room for delay. By late Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made: Jimmy Kimmel Live! would be “preempted indefinitely.”

Of course, who was even watching?

HOLY SHIT

Kimmel was ONLY Getting 129,000 Viewers

hahahahah

Federal prosecutors revealed that Nicholas Roske, the California man who pleaded guilty to attempting to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2022, had planned to kill up to three Supreme Court justices to "single-handedly alter the constitutional order" over Roe v. Wade. The motive appears political and leftist in nature, and other court documents obtained by https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-attempted-kavanaugh-assassin-identifies-as-transgender-woman-legal-filings-show

revealed that the would-be assassin identifies as transgender.

🚨BREAKING: The WANNA-BE ASSASSIN who almost killed Justice Brett Kavanaugh just CAME OUT as TRANS 🚨

Nicholas Roske now “IDENTIFIES” as Sophie Roske https://t.co/hWL5ndpO4u

Roske, who now identifies as female and uses the name "Sophie Roske," is set to be sentenced on October 3. Federal prosecutors are seeking 30 years to life in prison, citing the defendant's premeditated plot to kill three justices in an attempt to change the Court's balance.

?itok=vHfsUEoU

"The severity and potential devastating impact of the defendant's criminal conduct is immeasurable and staggering. By targeting and planning to kill "at least one," but "shooting for 3" justices of the Supreme Court, the defendant sought single-handedly and irrevocably to alter an entire branch of the United States government through violence," the Department of Justice's https://www.justice.gov/ag/media/1414626/dl?inline

stated.

?itok=wMhQGUOx

The memo continued, "The defendant's conduct falls within the quintessential definition of terrorism: the use of violence or threats of violence to achieve a political goal. The defendant, by committing this crime, sought to achieve some level of significance by striking at the heart of our democracy — to alter the trajectory of the judicial branch for decades to come."

?itok=wNP_BtlP

In a separate filing from the transgender's defense attorneys, first obtained by The Daily Wire, Nicholas, who now goes by "Sophie Roske"...

"The case is captioned as United States v. Nicholas John Roske," lawyers for Roske state. "That name remains Ms. Roske's legal name, and she has not asked to recaption the case. Out of respect for Ms. Roske, the balance of this pleading and counsel's in-court argument will refer to her as Sophie and use female pronouns."

?itok=AvZ2RI6D

Daily Wire noted, "A source familiar with the legal proceedings in the case told The Daily Wire that Roske was using female identities online before the attempted murder, and now goes by the female name reflected in the defense filings."

Attorney General Pam Bondi told the outlet, "This Department of Justice condemns political violence and our prosecutors will ensure that this disturbed individual faces severe consequences for his deranged actions."

Roske was likely radicalized in the years leading up to the 2022 assassination plot of the justices, but perhaps what activated the deeply mentally ill man was the https://www.zerohedge.com/political/masked-protest-industrial-complex-isnt-peaceful-its-civil-terrorism-playbook-combat-chaos

, which unleashed psychological operations through protests to influence emotions and trigger responses by their far-left fringe.

?itok=0-I23B7J

The Democratic Party has employed this type of operation for years, labeling and targeting their enemies as "fascists" and "Nazis."

Where did Charlie Kirk's murderer learn to call conservatives "fascists"?

"Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?"

Leftist corporate media conducted massive PsyOps against the American people.

?itok=nHt54IA_

And fast forward to last week, the suspected Charlie Kirk assassin was a radical leftist who had a relationship with a transgender. One of the shell casings from the Kirk assassination was etched with the words: “Hey, fascist. Catch!"

Political violence is being fueled by the Democratic Party's permanent protest industrial complex, activating its fringe leftists...

Hmm.

I think if ODNI were to declassify all records and files of how the US government worked with Antifa and Trantifa groups around the world for the past 10 years, the results would absolutely shock you. https://t.co/O2BI3H3iLp

As for Russian ambassador Kelin, in his fresh interview https://www.rt.com/news/624905-putin-trump-world-cup/

: "There are different ideas. Earlier… they [Putin and Trump] talked about the possibility of an ice hockey match between US and Russia… and football game as I understand is also at work."

He was asked by the interviewer to confirm that this was in reference to the FIFA "football tournament" scheduled between June 11 and July 19, 2026 - to which the ambassador replied, "Yes, football tournament. I hope that in the coming contacts we are going to discuss that."

Pundits on the Left have reacted fiercely to the prospect of Putin attending World Cup play in the US:

It would be somewhat of a 'shock' for many Americans, especially Democrats, to look up at the VIP boxes of a large stadium as a World Cup match was underway in a US city to see Presidents Putin and Trump being chummy and enjoying the biggest soccer tournament in the world.
