			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is the point of consolidating debt and when should you do it? What are some of the options for consolidating debt? At some point in their financial lives, many people ask these questions. If you have been pondering these thoughts, read on.</p>
<p>Consolidating debt means different things to different people. To a young couple or family thinking about buying a home consolidating debt may be necessary to lessen their debt to income ratio. For a single person tired of writing ten or twenty checks each month consolidating debt may be a way of making his/her financial life more convenient and organized. A family with college age children may consolidate debt in order to fund a college education. Older people on the verge of retirement may be considering debt consolidation as a way of simplifying their lives and adjusting to a change in income. All of these scenarios are sound reasons for investigating debt consolidation and all require different approaches for said consolidation.</p>
<p>What types of debt consolidation might be used by the people in each of the previous situations?</p>
<p>A couple on the verge of their first home purchase may find that the amount they owe on their credit cards each month takes up too large a portion of their monthly income. Sometimes lending institutions will not approve a home loan for a buyer who does not have a certain amount of unobligated income. In order to free up a little income the couple may choose to consolidate their debt. To accomplish this all of the current bills would be paid off via a lower interest, longer term loan. Because the loan is not costing them as much in interest and is being paid off over a longer period of time the monthly payment would be smaller. Thus, the proportion of debt to income would be lower.</p>
<p>When a person is just tired of writing a great number of checks each month and concerned that one month a payment due might get overlooked, he/she may choose to do a simple debt consolidation for the purpose of bringing all of his/her bills under one roof. If the person has good credit this is easily achieved. Sometimes if the debt is refinanced at a lower interest rate not only will the person end up with a more convenient payment he/she will also have a lower payment.</p>
<p>A family which owns its own home may tap the equity in that home to pay for a child&#8217;s college education. In order to do this the home must have accumulated sufficient value to cover the cost of the mortgage, the cost of the refinancing, the cost of the bills to be rolled over and still generate enough cash to pay for the child&#8217;s schooling. Given the rate at which home values have appreciated in recent years having this much equity is not unreasonable. However, homeowners should not make their homes piggybanks for any type of expense that comes up. Constant cashing out of a home&#8217;s equity is expensive and perhaps even dangerous over the long run.</p>
<p>Persons nearing retirement age may choose to consolidate debts in order to make life less complicated as well as to make living less expensive. This type of debt consolidation is also done by accessing the equity in one&#8217;s home. If the mortgage is long standing and the couple has maintained good to excellent credit it may be that the house can be refinanced at a significantly better interest rate while also generating cash to pay off a substantial number of bills. Thus, as the couple enters their retirement years they have a lower house payment and fewer bills to pay.</p>
<p>The above examples illustrate just a few ways that debt consolidation may enhance the lifestyles of modern consumers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Smallmouth bass fishing at Lake Erie especially during summer is certainly too much fun. Although when it comes to Smallmouth bass fishing in Lake Erie, there is no such thing as too much fun.</p>
<p>Lake Erie is also known as the Great Lake. It nourishes the best smallmouth bass fishes in the United States.</p>
<p>Many anglers who do regular smallmouth bass fishing at Lake Erie have already made a minimum catch of fifty smallmouth bass fishes averaging over four pounds each on a weekend! These are great numbers that would surely attract the attention of any bass fishing enthusiast.</p>
<p>What can be the reason why smallmouth bass fishing at Lake Erie yields so much of the good catches? Well Lake Erie aside from its being so large a lake offers an excellent habitat and forage. The massiveness of the lake has given the smallmouth bass the ease of pressure usually given by small lakes thus making this great lake a Mecca of small mouth bass fishes.</p>
<p>But when you&#8217;re up for a bass fishing at Lake Erie, you must be very vigilant with the weather. Although it is a lake, the waters often resemble that of the ocean. A clear bright day may suddenly turn into a bad one accompanied by forceful winds just like what happened to some ten bass boats fishing the lake sometime in September of 1992.</p>
<p>Certainly Lake Erie is one of the most diverse fishing grounds in the country. In this lake you will not only find the most famous smallmouth bass fishes but also large quantity of yellow perch, the largemouth bass, the northern pike, white bass, the walleye and many other bass fish species.</p>
<p>While bass fishing at Lake Erie you must remember some standard regulations which are imposed in some states such as in Pennsylvania, if you are to catch the walleye, it must already be at least 18 inches, smaller than this is not allowed.</p>
<p>In Ohio, which covers about 262 miles of shoreline, smallmouth bass fishing at Lake Erie during summer have limits as to number the of bags. You are allowed to have three bags only instead of four and during any other time, you can catch up to a maximum of six bags.</p>
<p>During spawning period that is from March to April you are not allowed to catch using the treble hooks. These are new regulations you have to remember.</p>
<p>So if you are bass fishing at Lake Erie and want to share with the typical smallmouth catch of 80,000 smallmouths during a six week period starting end of June, just after the spawning period, you can come to Long point Bay. The smallmouth swims through this bay as they travel back to the main lake after the spawning period. The Presque Island area is also a good ground for fishing smallmouth. You may do deep water jigging and catch so much fish.</p>
<p>Offshore smallmouth bass fishing at Lake Erie is highly variable. Walleye anglers often have to travel more than a dozen miles to find fish, but this is normal in most of Lake Erie.</p>
<p>While off-shore fishing may not come very attractive particularly to beginners or amateur fishers, there is also a big chance to a good shore-fishing, especially for white bass, from the short pier. Channel catfish can be caught here, but to maximize catch in the shore fishing, you must fish in the night or when the water is discolored.</p>
<p>In recent years, it was noted that there is a phenomenon of increasing clear water in the lake which can be attributed to the so called &#8220;zebra water infestation&#8221; which has been driving the smallmouth species to the deep waters even during spawning thus trolling is still the number one way of catching the smallies.</p>
<p>When you are along the 42 mile shoreline Lake Erie in the State of Pennsylvania you may launch at the harbor of Presque Isle Bay at the city of Erie. Here you will have an easy way to catch the abundant yellow perch, walleye, steelhead and the smallmouth bass. Perch and walleye fishing is generally excellent at north point of Presque Isle while smallmouth bass fishing is best in east of Erie.</p>
<p>Presque Isle Bay provides relatively calm water that is suitable for smaller boats. It also offers good fishing for largemouth bass, northern pike, crappies and bluegills along with smallmouth bass and yellow perch.</p>
<p>Well if you think this summer is the season for you to go smallmouth bass fishing at Lake Erie, and your jumping point is Pennsylvania, worry not where to stay because there are numerous campsites and hotels there just along the shorelines of Lake Erie.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This interesting article addresses some of the key issues regarding VoIP. A careful reading of this material could make a big difference in how you think about VoIP.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve seen the cellular phone commercial, two customers are on cell phones and one says, &#8220;Can you hear me now?&#8221; takes a step back and repeats, &#8220;Can you hear me now?&#8221; While commercials like that make us laugh, the truth is that as telecommunications expand and include many different options, we must make sure that we are not exchanging flexibility for sound quality.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s telecommunication choices have expanded and continue to progress. We have moved from the standard telephone to the pager or beeper (which has become virtually obsolete) to the cell phone, and now that the world is going wireless, VoIP and VoWiFi are on the rise. Computer technology has explored every aspect of audio and video capabilities discovering mpegs and Codecs.</p>
<p>When it comes to VoIP and communication you can take some steps to make sure that you are obtaining the utmost in audio and voice quality.</p>
<p>VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, and is the application of transferring audio as data packets over the Internet and to a receiving computer or VoIP enabled device. You can use three different types of methods to communicate with VoIP. First, you can use your computer with an attached microphone and speakers. You also have the option of using a standard telephone, by connecting it to your broadband modem and your telephone. You can also use a VoIP enabled telephone.</p>
<p>Audio Codecs are used to transfer the audio sound into the data packet before it is sent over the Internet. Some voice Codecs are also referred to as Voice Coders or Voice Encoders. There are a few commonly used Codecs for VoIP. These are G.711, G.729, and ITU-T.</p>
<p>There are certain programs that you can use to check your bandwidth and help with any audio quality issues that you may be having. You can also upgrade to a higher audio codec, such as the G. 729 and see if that makes a difference.</p>
<p>Generally speaking, most people are amazed by the quality of VoIP. Audio issues are usually mild and simple to solve. Just upgrading Codecs can make a big difference.</p>
<p>See how much you can learn about VoIP when you take a little time to read a well-researched article? Don&#8217;t miss out on the rest of this great information.</p>
<p>We can expect that the future of VoIP telephony will increase and as it does, preparations will be made to ensure that only the highest quality will ultimately be produced. Some phones are now hybrids: half VoIP or VoWiFi and Cellular. For these phones audio quality is being looked at as an important factor in the design of the phone.</p>
<p>Major corporations are now taking an interest in designing VoWi Fi telephones. We can be sure that these large companies aren&#8217;t going to skimp on audio quality. For certain, there are some properties that can&#8217;t be changed, such as using a wireless VoIP phone in a place with bad reception. But for the overall product, voice quality is a priority when designing telephony equipment.</p>
<p>With so many companies taking an interest in VoIP, even Verizon has come out with their branded VoIP services, we can believe that in the next five years products will burst on the scene with many more enhanced features. Since VoIP utilizes the Internet, one can only imagine what type of futuristic VoIP phones will soon beset us.</p>
<p>While VoWiFi phones will only work outside in hotspot zones, you can rest assured that the quality of your VoWiFi phone will be exceptional when you are in &#8220;the zone&#8221;.</p>
<p>Telecommunications are advancing every day, and more people are relying on the Internet for their audio and video communications. Instant messaging programs are embracing VoIP with open arms, and the everyday consumer is experiencing the power of integrated video, data, and audio. By using a simple web cam, microphone, and speakers, people are enjoying the freedom that is offered solely by VoIP. Users are learning that microphones, audio Codecs, and high-speed Internet connections can transmit in real time, and give a crystal clear sound.</p>
<p>Of course, one of the main components in high quality audio telecommunications is to have up to date equipment. You need to begin with a good soundboard on your computer, before you can expect high quality audio from your computer&#8217;s speakers.</p>
<p>With the new millennium and its new telecommunications we can finally answer the question and say, &#8220;Yes, I can hear you.&#8221;</p>
<p>This article&#8217;s coverage of the information is as complete as it can be today. But you should always leave open the possibility that future research could uncover new facts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Filing bankruptcy is a stressful time in a person&#8217;s life. Along with discharging your debts and gaining a fresh start, you may wonder if you will be able to buy a home after a bankruptcy. The answer is yes! Mortgage companies and online lenders are now offering home loans for those who have a bankruptcy on their credit report. Some lenders will even approve your loan as soon as one day after your bankruptcy has been discharged.</p>
<p>Buying a home after bankruptcy is no longer impossible. There are many reasons a person chooses to file bankruptcy. The loss of a job, unexpected medical bills, and overwhelming credit card debt are just a few of the factors that can lead to filing bankruptcy. The mortgage lending industry has created special loan packages and terms for those who have filed bankruptcy in the past. Lenders have little to lose in approving a home loan after bankruptcy. With your home serving as collateral for the loan, the lender can feel confident in approving you for a home loan, often soon after your bankruptcy has been discharged.</p>
<p>Filing bankruptcy and buying a home are no longer mutually exclusive terms. Both traditional and online lenders can give you a good interest rate and payments you can afford, even after filing bankruptcy. If you have filed Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy and are wondering if you can obtain a home loan, contact a lender today who specializes in approving mortgages after bankruptcy. Interest rates are currently lower that they have been in decades. Even after filing bankruptcy you can get your new home loan approved and receive a great interest rate. Online lenders and mortgage companies are competing for your business. Do not let a past bankruptcy prevent you from purchasing the new home of your dreams.</p>
<p>If you have filed bankruptcy in the past and would like to purchase a home, there are numerous programs and loan products that will suit your needs. Lenders will approve your loan quickly and give you excellent terms on your mortgage. Some lenders will require that a certain amount of time pass before approving a new home loan after a bankruptcy while other lenders can approve your loan in a little as one day after your bankruptcy has been discharged. Now is the perfect time to apply for a mortgage, even if you have filed for bankruptcy in the past.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nominated for 15 Golden Globes and 25 Emmys, including two for Outstanding Drama Series, The Waltons enjoyed nine seasons of high audience ratings and notable critical acclaim. Premiering on CBS in the Fall of 1972, the hour-long drama series chronicled the lives of a tightly-knit mountain family living during the Depression era. Creator Earl Hamner Jr. based The Waltons on his true-to-life story of growing up in the Hamner family. Noted for its family-oriented subject matter (and absence of torrid sex and violence), The Waltons paved the way for the success of the popular TV series Little House On The Prairie (1974). And, in the aftermath of the cancellation of The Beverly Hillbillies (1962) and Green Acres (1965), proved wrong the assertion of some CBS executives that shows with rural settings were becoming unpopular. Celebrated for its raw depiction of the human experience, The Waltons towers above modern day television dramas by laying claim to the added weight today&#8217;s critics give to &#8220;realism&#8221; in a series while simultaneously avoiding the bad language, adult content, and gratuitous violence that often accompany those shows which earn such a designation&#8230;</p>
<p>The Waltons follows the daily lives of the various members of the Walton family as they make a living working their humble saw mill on Walton&#8217;s Mountain in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Set in the 1930&#8217;s, the series unfolds through the eyes of John Boy (Richard Thomas). An aspiring writer, John Boy chronicles life on Walton Mountain where his parents, John Sr. (Ralph Waite) and Olivia (Michael Learned), raise their seven children (John Boy, Jason, Mary Ellen, Erin, Ben, Jim-Bob, and Elizabeth) with the aid of live-in grandparents Esther (Ellen Corby) and Zeb (Will Greer) Walton. A wide array of supporting characters live near the Waltons, including Reverend Fordwick (portrayed by Three&#8217;s Company star John Ritter), the Godseys, the Baldwins, and various others. As the trials of the Great Depression fade into the tribulations of World War II, the Waltons connect with every facet of the human experience - love, marriage, birth, death, aging, social ills, and the numerous travails of life, making The Waltons one of the most popular shows in television history&#8230;</p>
<p>The Waltons (Season 1) DVD features a number of memorable episodes including the series premiere &#8220;The Foundling&#8221; in which a young girl named Holly is left on the doorstep of the Walton family. Following a checkup with the family pediatrician, they learn that Holly is deaf. John Boy takes the initiative and teaches Holly a form of sign language so the two can communicate, a skill which proves to be quite important when Holly warns the family that its youngest member is in urgent danger&#8230; Other notable episodes from Season 1 include &#8220;The Literary Man&#8221; in which John Boy meets noted author A.J. Covington when the truck breaks down, and &#8220;The Courtship&#8221; in which Olivia&#8217;s Uncle Cody falls in love with a four-time divorcee when he comes to visit the family&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P>By now you&#8217;ve made significant progress in your bodybuilding career. For the past three to six months you&#8217;ve learnt how to perform the core lifting exercises in a technically correct manner. You&#8217;ve also conditioned the body and developed sufficient core strength to prepare yourself for a whole new level of intensity. Hopefully you&#8217;ve also built some rock solid muscle! But that&#8217;s only the beginning.</P><br />
<P>In recent weeks your workouts have probably lost some of their effect so, even though you&#8217;re lifting bigger weights, your muscles now need even greater stimulation to generate maximal growth. Don&#8217;t expect miracles though - from this point onwards, every little bit of improvement will take even greater and more intensive work than before.</P><br />
<P>Because you&#8217;ll be working your muscles more intensively, they&#8217;ll also need more recovery time to adapt and grow and that&#8217;s why you&#8217;ll be reducing your workouts to three a week. Each primary muscle group trained will now need one full week to recover. After being used to whole body sessions and more workouts per week it may seem as if you&#8217;re not doing enough but the point is, you&#8217;ll be working your muscles very, very intensively and making better use of your time.</P><br />
<P>As you gain more experience you&#8217;ll be able to tweak or re-design your basic muscle building program to suit your own individual needs, but the program described here should provide a useful starting point. What I&#8217;m proposing is basically a 3-split of the body on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.</P><br />
<P>MONDAY (Chest, Triceps, Shoulders)</P><br />
<P>1. Chest Exercises</P><br />
<P>Incline dumbbell press - this is a compound exercise that targets the chest but also works the triceps and shoulders to a lesser extent.</P><br />
<P>Pec-deck flye - this is an isolation exercise that works the pectorals.</P><br />
<P>2. Triceps</P><br />
<P>Dips - this compound exercise targets the triceps but also works the chest and shoulders.</P><br />
<P>3. Shoulders</P><br />
<P>Front military press - this compound exercise targets shoulders but also works the triceps.</P><br />
<P>Dumbbell lateral raises - this isolation exercise works the shoulders only.</P><br />
<P>Bentover dumbbell laterals - this isolation exercise works the rear delts.</P><br />
<P>WEDNESDAY (Back, Biceps, Forearms)</P><br />
<P>1. Back</P><br />
<P>Front lat pulls - compound exercise that targets lats but also works the biceps and mid-back.</P><br />
<P>Deadlifts - compound exercise that targets the back and quads but also works hamstrings, calves and glutes.</P><br />
<P>Dumbbell rows - compound exercise that targets mid-back but also works biceps and lats.</P><br />
<P>Dumbbell shrugs - isolation exercise that works traps.</P><br />
<P>2. Biceps</P><br />
<P>Dumbbell biceps curl - isolation exercise that works the biceps.</P><br />
<P>Dumbbell hammer curls - isolation exercise that works the biceps.</P><br />
<P>3. Forearms</P><br />
<P>Barbell wrist curl - isolation exercise that works the forearms.</P><br />
<P>FRIDAY (Lower Body)</P><br />
<P>1. Legs</P><br />
<P>Squats or leg press - compound exercise that targets the quads but also works the hamstrings, calves and glutes.</P><br />
<P>Leg extension - isolation exercise that works the quads.</P><br />
<P>Leg curls - isolation exercise that works the hamstrings.</P><br />
<P>Standing calf raise - isolation exercise that works the gastrocnemius calf muscle.</P><br />
<P>Seated calf raise - isolation exercise that works the soleus calf muscle.</P><br />
<P>You could start this program by aiming for two sets of 8-10 reps per exercise but as your strength and size increase you should really introduce techniques that boost the intensity even further. This can be achieved in a number of ways including the use of pre-exhaustion, super sets, partial reps, isometric contractions and forced reps. These techniques are covered in detail elsewhere in this series of articles.</P>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chartering a luxury yacht can help you transform your Caribbean getaway from a run-of-the-mill vacation to a memorable and unique experience. Having your own yacht for the duration of your stay in this tropical paradise can give you the opportunity to explore the region in a more immediate and personal way than a predetermined cruise ever could, and will ensure that you are traveling in the height of comfort. Finding the right yacht to charter can be fairly easy, so long as<br />
 you make your choice with the appropriate priorities in mind.</p>
<p>When you are planning to charter a yacht, the most difficult decision to make is often what size boat to hire. Often, vacationers simply choose the largest boat that their budget will allow, but this is not always the best option. A smaller craft will usually have a crew that is easier to manage, and will allow you to be more spontaneous about when and where you dock at the end of the day. As a general rule of thumb, it is best to choose the smallest boat that will serve your needs. Take into account how many people are traveling in your party, and then consider how little space you can all comfortable reside in for the duration of your trip.</p>
<p>Once you have considered what size yacht will make for the perfect Caribbean boating experience, the next step towards finding the boat of your dreams is choosing what features are<br />
 indispensable for your comfort. If you can decide in advance about whether you require a sun deck with Jacuzzi or not, for example, you can narrow your field of options considerably. There is no reason to hire a boat with unnecessary luxuries when you could better spend the money on another aspect of your trip, but if you do not ensure that your craft has all of the features you need you can end up disappointed. Somewhere like Yacht Spotter can prove a useful resource as you go through the process of determining what features you need your rental yacht to have. The more precisely you can narrow down your requirements, the more likely you will be to end up fully satisfied with your chartered yacht.</p>

<p>Indigo&#174; Instruments isn&#8217;t only about supplying scientific kit to schools technicians, homeschoolers and students doing their science fair project. No! A fair few molecular models and countless other items have made their way to Hollywood, got themselves on the small screen and featured in some offbeat web experiments.</p>
<p>VP Stephan Logan explains how Rob Cohen&#8217;s 2005 movie &#8220;Stealth&#8221; is described on the Internet Movie Database as &#8220;Surprisingly enjoyable&#8221;. Why? Because a plot line based on three pilots deeply ensconced in a top-secret military program struggling to bring an artificial intelligence program under control before it initiates WWIII sounds just so unsurprising. The movie features intense action, violence and innuendo. But, far more excitingly it also features a 17-layer DNA model from Indigo. So, for what was it those pilots needed a model of DNA? You&#8217;ll have to watch the movie to find out.</p>
<p>One of Indigo&#8217;s &#8220;anatomically correct&#8221; 12-layer DNA models also features in the current hit movie &#8220;Fantastic Four.&#8221; In this marvelous piece of cinema, a group of astronauts gain superpowers after being exposed to cosmic radiation (yeah, right!) and are destined to use them in fighting the world-dominating plans of the evil Doctor Victor Von Doom. They couldn&#8217;t have thought of a more corny name for the villain, but at least the DNA molecular model used in the movie is scientifically accurate, having been built to the highest specifications by Indigo&#8217;s Logan himself.</p>
<p>Once again, superheroes are the subject of another movie to feature molecular model kits supplied to Hollywood by Indigo Instruments. In &#8220;Return of Zoom&#8221;, a movie based on the graphic novel &#8220;Zoom&#8217;s Academy for the Super Gifted&#8221; by Jason Lethcoe, an unpopular high school girl sent to superhero school by her &#8220;mysterious&#8221; father and discovers her hidden talents (a la Harry Potter, methinks). The makers of this movie, also utilized a DNA model from Indigo to reveal the inner workings of human genetics at the molecular level. Unfortunately, for Indigo&#8217;s image, the director asked for the model to be specially made so that it would fall apart easily. Don&#8217;t ask why, you&#8217;ll have to go see the movie. Needless to say, any models you buy from Indigo Instruments will be made to far more exacting standards and are guaranteed not to fall apart!</p>
<p>Stepping back from the superheroes, Indigo&#174; Instruments was proud also to provide a whole series of chemical models for the making of Eddie Murphy blockbuster, &#8220;The Nutty Professor&#8221;. Mineral models including a huge zeolite model and a model of the structure of diamond were used to great effect in the movie as Professor Sherman Klump, desperately trying to lose weight, takes a chemical cocktail that morphs him into the slimly obnoxious Buddy Love. The mineral models feature prominently as classic examples of Klump&#8217;s laboratory equipment.</p>
<p>Molecular models from Indigo Instruments have not only caught Hollywood&#8217;s eye, but arthouse directors have turned to Indigo Instruments to supply them with molecular models too. So, Indigo can now lay claim to having appeared at the Toronto Film Festival.</p>
<p>DNA and other molecular models from Indigo, have also hit the small screen in TV crime show &#8220;Law &#038; Order&#8221;, in sci-fi classic &#8220;Stargate Atlantis&#8221;, and on CBS News during the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the structure of DNA.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not just the entertainment industry that is fascinated by Indigo&#8217;s DNA models. &#8220;We&#8217;ve also sold a 17-layer DNA model to such organizations as Bell Labs, IBM, and even shipped one to Erasmus University Hospital in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, where the SARS virus was first identified,&#8221; says Indigo SD Stephan Logan. In addition NASA lesson plans such as their magnets and life lesson cites Indigo Instruments as a useful source of powerful rare earth magnets. Images from Indigo&#174; Instruments have been used on countless lecture tours and in science demonstrations including those by staff at Wisha University. A chemical flask from Indigo has even been adapted to make a heliograph, or sun tracker.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have sold DNA models to lawyers for court cases involving patent issues,&#8221; adds Logan, &#8220;major museums and institutions, such as the Bill Clinton Museum, Howard Hughes Medical Center, Walter Reed Army Hospital, US Naval Academy, Harvard University, New York University and elsewhere, also have our DNA models and others on display.&#8221; Intriguingly, even the infamous Martha Stewart has bought glassware from Indigo, in the form of test tubes and Erlenmeyer flasks for use in floral arrangements.</p>
