Angela Harding is an artist, printmaker and illustrator. Based in Rutland, Angela's work is inspired by the countryside of the British Isles, and in particular British birds. Alongside her many prints and artistic creations, her award-willing illustrations can be found adorning many a book cover.Angela was born in Stoke-on-Trent in June 1960, the middle of three daughters to Stephen and Joan Harding. It was an artistic household: her father, a headteacher, passed on his love of poetry to Angela, her mother taught pottery, and all three sisters would end up going to art college. She left school at sixteen and, at her mother's behest, did a pre-nursing course before pursuing her passion for art. She studied Fine Art at Leicester Polytechnic from where she graduated with a first in 1982. After indulging her love of travel – both on her bike around Britain as well as on a Magic Bus across Europe – Angela spent twenty years working in the art world, from teaching to consultancy. During these years, she married and raised two children, then divorced and married her second husband, Mark.In 2008, she made the life changing decision to pursue a career as a professional artist: she abandoned the media she had previously worked in and concentrated on linocuts and silkscreen printing. She has worked as a magazine illustrator and today her prints can be found on everything from book covers to tea towels and greeting cards. Her advent calendars – first produced in 2015 – have become a collector's item. She has also published several books of her own.When she's not on her boat sailing around the British Isles, Angela lives in Rutland, with her husband Mark and her whippet, Oaty.

Discover the visionary world of Jean Henri Gaston Giraud—also known as Gir but better known as Moebius, a master of cosmic comics—in this podcast episode. Join us for an interview with his children, Nausicaa and Raphael, as they discuss the enduring legacy of their father, a trailblazer whose surreal artistry reshaped science fiction. We met at the France Pavilion at the Frankfurt Book Fair and recorded at the Galaxy Press booth discussing his legacy as well as their own stories with their father. Moebius co-founded Heavy Metal Magazine and served as a founding judge for Illustrators of the Future, even illustrating Jo Beverly's story in Writers of the Future Vol. 4. His seminal "The Long Tomorrow" ignited Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, with Scott later confessing, "You see it everywhere... you can't get away from it." George Lucas hailed Moebius's "sheer beauty" in designs for Willow, while Hayao Miyazaki, a lifelong friend, credits Arzach's "awesome sense of space" for inspiring Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind—echoed in the name of Giraud's own daughter.

Welcome to “When Words Fail, Music Speaks” – the podcast that harnesses the healing power of song to combat depression, anxiety, and everyday heartbreak.In today's episode we sit down with the multitalented Mark Firehammer—author of the genre‑blending novel The Echo and The Voice, creator of the wellness system Feelness, and a seasoned songwriter whose career spans from Florida coffee‑houses in the ‘90s to AI‑driven studios today.Mark shares the wild road‑trip story of his early touring days, the unexpected love affair he's had with the legendary Cronut, and the pivotal moment when he realized his next album would have to be built without a band. We dive deep into his groundbreaking Artist‑Imagined series, a quartet of AI‑crafted albums—Heartlands (country), Heartthrob (dance), Heartstrings (alternative) and Heartbeats (rock)—and explore how he trains machines to sing in the voices of imagined artists while preserving his own lived experiences.Along the way, we touch on:The rise and challenges of independent musicians in the streaming eraThe moral and creative debates surrounding AI‑generated music and Spotify's new disclosure rulesHow Mark's nonprofit aims to turn music, theater, film, and visual art into a collaborative network centered on human connectionFavorite childhood influences—from Cat Stevens and James Taylor to the awe‑inspiring voice of Freddie Mercury—and the songs that still move him to tearsWhether you're a songwriter stuck in a creative rut, a fan of cutting‑edge tech, or simply someone looking for a musical pick‑me‑up, this conversation offers a blend of nostalgia, practical insight, and forward‑looking optimism. Grab your headphones, cue up a fresh track, and let Mark's story remind you that when words fall short, music always finds a way to speak.

We trip into tricky and expansive territory in November, with Mars moving into Sagittarius as well as Mercury stationing retrograde in Sagittarius on November 9th. It's important to stay grounded and vigilant throughout the first couple of weeks of the month, with Uranus making moves back into Taurus, and a Taurus Full Moon on November 5th. Tend to your body, take stock of where you are in your personal healing process. Any destabilization we are feeling personally, is an echo of our collective's necessary transformation. Turn to tools and practices that help you manage your anxiety, and allow yourself to prioritize healing actions. Intentionally prepare for Mercury retrograde by scheduling space for reflection and review. You'll thank yourself later! ❤️
Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.The rules for law and order create the boundaries for civil co-existence and, ideally, the backdrops for individuals, families, and companies to grow and thrive. Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder. This is Episode 20, menacing is the featured crime. This is Audubon's Ghost by Margaret S. HamiltonDeliberationNick isn't getting the crime free honeymoon Lizzie promised him. With our help, they can close the book on this bird-brained caper. A real Audubon painting was hidden away and someone is willing to menace to get it. Here are the suspects in the order that we met themAl McGuire, actor who claimed to be an Australian touristSam Broussard, professional thief and con artistOfficer Landry, police officer who saved Ed and CarolTony Robichaux, curator of the Audubon Museum at Oakley PlantationDr. Nakamura, rightful owner of the Audubon watercolorsABOUT Menacing as a crimeIn general, menacing is where a person uses a threat or action to cause another person to be in fear of serious bodily damage or death. It can range from a misdemeanor to a felony depending on the severity. Definitions do vary somewhat by state. There aren't “famous” cases of menacing because, alone, it is not considered a serious crime. Menacing does often end up being a component of other charges such as stalking and harassment. A few cases for you to gnaw on. In 2008, Christopher Szaz pleaded guilty to federal civil rights charges for threatening employees of the National Council of La Raza and the Council on American Islamic Relations. He sent emails threatening to bomb offices and kill employees, which met the legal definition of menacing. ABOUT Margaret S. HamiltonMargaret S. Hamilton is the author of forty short stories, many of them set in the fictional small town of Jericho, Ohio. She has also published stories set in the Dordogne region of southwest France, Cape Cod, New Orleans, and 1950's Cincinnati.Margaret's debut traditional mystery, What the Artist left Behind, is on submission. It was a 2019 Daphne Mainstream Mystery Finalist. She is writing the next two books in her Jericho Mysteries series about amateur sleuth Lizzie Christopher and her husband Nick Cameron.Margaret is a member of Sisters in Crime and Mystery Writers of America, and blogs monthly on the Writers Who Kill blog. She lives in suburban Cincinnati with her husband and two standard poodles, Jazz and Louie. She is an avid traveler, gardener, and photographer.WRAP UPThat wraps this episode of Mysteries to Die For.

Sometimes the most meaningful parts of our creative journey are the detours — the moments when we think we've failed or lost our way, only to realize we've discovered something new. Like a labyrinth, life guides us toward the next best thing, often better than we could have imagined. In this episode, host Ekaterina (Kat) Popova sits down with Nishant Jain, also known as The Sneaky Artist, to talk about curiosity, permission, and finding beauty in the everyday. Nishant shares how writer's block led him to a thriving art practice, how he built a loyal global community through Substack, and why keeping secrets and creating privately can reignite your passion. If you've ever questioned your creative direction or struggled to share your art meaningfully in the digital age, this conversation will remind you that detours are destiny — and that creativity doesn't have to be loud to be powerful.

Your art doesn't exist in a vacuum. Where and how you show your work shapes how people perceive its value before they even look closely at the piece itself. The venue, the lighting, the labels, the other work nearby—all of it sends signals about whether your art should be taken seriously. In this episode of The Art Biz, host Alyson Stanfield explores what falls within your control and what doesn't, and why understanding that difference can transform how collectors see you and your work. She encourages you to vet opportunities before committing, establish non-negotiables to establish for yourself, and move strategically toward increasingly prestigious venues rather than staying comfortable with familiar options. Whether you're just starting out or you've been showing for years, you'll learn how to raise your standards and make choices that honor the work you've put into your art.

In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1. Ian and I talk about how big baseball was in his life in his high school and early college years. He was a left-handed pitcher, which made him attractive to coaches. By the time he transferred to UC Berkeley, though, sports receded and academics took over. He played what's called club ball, which Ian explains is something between varsity high school-level and community college. At Berkeley, Ian majored in renewable energy, a topic that shows up in the art he does today. He minored in education, something that shows up in his coaching of kids these days. He lived in Berkeley while going to school there, and speaks to that experience. Ian moved back to The City after he graduated, in 2014. But, as he puts it, since then, he's "left and come back many times." First was Seattle for a summer. Then Portland for a year and a half. We go on a bit of a sidebar after I offer up my opinion that some folks in the Pacific Northwest can come across as friendly, but they can also be rather passive-aggressive. After Portland was New York City, where Ian lived for half a year. Then Nashville for three months. And after that, he got into a teaching program in Madrid, Spain, which I express my jealousy of. (Barcelona is one of my favorite places on Earth.) He was in Madrid right as the COVID pandemic hit, in fact. The teaching program he was in allowed him plenty of downtime—he worked essentially four days a week, four hours per day. And a lot of that time on his hands was filled with a rediscovery of doing art. His plan had been to leave at the end of a school year, and that happened to coincide with the onset of COVID. His return to his hometown, and his time here since 2020, has been spent trying to do art full-time. And that's where Ian's and my life intersect. It happened one day in the very location where we recorded this podcast: 540 Bar. Break Fake Rules was born when Ian lived in Spain. It started with stickers. He handed them out—to friends, to strangers. He came up with the phrase and liked it, among other reasons, for its openendedness. He feels "Break Fake Rules" requires participation, something he sees as going against the way technology is leading us. But BFR isn't the only artistic endeavor in Ian's life. Ian does a lot of collage work. Lately, he's been cutting up vinyl from discarded billboard signs. He'd tried working with paper and glue to make murals, but the elements always got the better of his outdoor art. Old billboard vinyl is the solution he's been looking for. Those of you who follow Storied:SF on Instagram might have recently noticed a few collaboration reels between us and Break Fake Rules. Ian approached me a couple months ago about being on a series he produces called "People Should Know," where someone—an artist, a small-business owner, a podcaster—comes on and speaks with a fencing-masked interviewer to talk about what they do and what folks should know about what they do. You can check out full-length videos of everyone who's been on People Should Know on the Break Fake Rules website. It was a lot of fun to do, so thanks, Ian! In asking Ian to let people know how to find him, we decided to start off with our favorite platform—in real life! He's currently selling furniture at Stuff by Luxe. He's got Break Fake Rules stuff there, too, as well as some of his 2D and 3D art. His website is BreakFakeRules.com. Find @breakfakerules and his personal account, @ianglues, on Instagram.

Walter Marsh with the surreal tale of Colin Wyatt, the ski champion, mountaineer, wartime camouflage expert, artist, and naturalist who committed one of the world's biggest-ever museum heists in the 1940s.In January 1947, by chance, it was found that over 3,000 rare and precious specimens of butterflies had vanished from museums in Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Alarmingly, the missing insects included many priceless ‘holotypes' — the first specimen of a given species to be identified, against which all others are compared.On the other side of the world, New Scotland Yard descended on a nondescript country house in Surrey, where they found a trove of over 40,000 butterfly specimens. The culprit was Colin Wyatt, a Cambridge-educated ski champion, mountaineer, wartime camouflage expert, artist, and amateur naturalist whose high-flying exploits cut a path from the Alps of Europe to a London court room to a final expedition to the jungles of Guatemala.Walter Marsh has written down the strange and confounding tale of the gentleman butterfly thief in his new book.This episode of Conversations was produced by Jennifer Leake, executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores museum heists, museum thefts, gentlemen criminals, natural history, lepidopterists, butterflies, butterfly stealing,adventurers, skiing, mountaineering, war, WWII, alps, london, stealing from a museum, theft from museum, famous museum heists, strange criminals, smooth criminals, why do people commit crime, collectors, the collector, extreme collections.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Award-winning sculptor and artist Najla El Zein is most recently known for her work on a public commission by Qatar Museums for Doha's cultural district — a work titled "Us, her, him". She joins us to talk about her creative process, the evolution of her work, and the profound impact of personal experiences on her art. Based between Beirut and Amsterdam, Najla's work explores the relationship between space, object, and the human body, often challenging conventional perceptions of sculpture. She delves into the emotional depth behind her most significant projects, including her iconic spoons sculpture, the "Distortion" series, as well as her monumental public commission in Qatar, reflecting on themes of motherhood, female identity, and collective creation amidst challenging times. 0:00 Introduction1:21 The Artist's Studio and Creative Process2:46 From Childhood Curiosity to Sculptural Expression5:36 Embracing the Unromantic Side of Sculpture7:45 The Spoons Sculptures: A Defining Project8:42 Moving to Beirut and Accessing Craftsmanship10:18 Process and Meaning Behind the Spoons Sculture11:39 Capturing Movement and Life in Static Forms12:57 The Significance of Process and Durability14:10 "Distortion" Series: Motherhood and Identity18:50 "Fragmented Pillar": Fragility and Strength21:28 "Seduction" Series: The Journey of Connection23:17 A Deepening Relationship With Stone25:06 "Group of Five": Dynamics and Discovery27:49 The Qatar Museums Project: A Public Commission Amidst Crisis30:58 The Vision for Qatar's Cultural District34:12 Craftsmanship and the Human Element in Public Art37:16 The Collaborative Process: From Lebanon to Qatar40:34 Influences: Saloua Raouda Choucair, Noguchi, and Hockney Najla El Zein's work embodies an intuitive approach to art and design, where narrative, craft, and materiality are central to her creative process.

I recently sat down with Greg Haberny at his current exhibit at Satellite Gallery, 279 Broome Street in NYC. As an artist I've known for over twenty years from showing together at art fairs in Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City, as well as connecting at NYC galleries. In this captivating interview, Greg shares insights into his creative process, the passion driving his art, and the surreal moment when Banksy began collecting his work, inviting him to create an installation at Dismaland and join other exciting exhibits. He also talks about his key role in the Bombay Beach Biennale, a unique art event in the California desert that transforms the landscape into a hub of creativity. Greg's enthusiasm is compelling—don't miss hearing him reflect on his craft and the unexpected twists of his inspiring career!
On this episode of Generation Red: A Husker Podcast, the boys look back on the hard-fought win over Northwestern, which featured a spectacular kickoff return for a TD by Kenneth Williams that ended up being the difference in the game. Emmett Johnson was the workhorse on offense, and per usual, the referees missed calls, and made weird calls, which enabled the Wildcats to erase a two-score deficit in the 3rd quarter. After a fantastic drive engineered by Dylan Raiola, the Big Red scored the go ahead touchdown with 2:44 to play. Northwestern had a chance to convert on 4th down deep in Husker territory, and for one, the good guys didn't draw the short straw on the final defensive play, and went on to become bowl eligible in October for the first time since 2016. Join Coach, Justin, Scott and Ken as they recap the game, and then turn their attention to the big time night contest coming up next week in Memorial Stadium against the 23rd-ranked USC Trojans. #Nebraska #Huskers #Football #Northwestern #USC Want to grab some GenRed Merch?

Stefan Baumann Podcast - Inspiration and Insights on Art and Painting
Online platforms like YouTube help by providing inspiration and connection, especially for those with limited local support. Personal challenges, including disabilities, can increase difficulties but also inspire resilience. The "four Bs" framework—Beliefs, Behaviors, Barriers, and Benefits—helps artists identify what maintains their block and develop solutions. Artist block is dangerous because it threatens creativity and career sustainability. Passion and a clear mission drive artists through tough times. Coaching and mentorship provide personalized strategies, goal-setting, and encouragement. When block arises, artists can take immediate steps: 1) pause to refresh, 2) engage in free creative play, 3) change environment or medium, 4) talk with peers or mentors, and 5) set very small goals. Keeping a public presence during block maintains visibility and motivation. Pressure to produce can inspire or overwhelm; managing it with realistic goals and self-care is key. Avoiding shows removes important deadlines and feedback, which may deepen block. To stay inspired, artists should seek new experiences, remain curious, and remember why they create. Common misconceptions are that block is failure, limited to unskilled artists, or fixed by waiting. Persistent block warrants professional help such as coaching or therapy.#ArtistBlock #SelfDoubt #Frustration #Procrastination #Motivation #ArtisticVoice #ExternalPressures #FearOfFailure #Perfectionism #AuthenticWork #Inspiration #Community #Mentors #ReframingThoughts #SmallGoals #Passion #RegularPractice #Feedback #Rest #Purpose #Confidence #Resilience #Coaching #CreativePlay #EnvironmentChange #PublicPresence #SelfCare #Curiosity #Therapy #CreativeFlowSupport the showFor more information go to www.StefanBaumann.com https://www.stefanbaumann.com/Free Book For painting, coaching call me on my phone at 415-606-9074
New to Endless Thread? Wooooo! We're revisiting some favorites from our archives to welcome you. First up: The cover art for the 1976 paperback edition of Madeleine L'Engle's classic, spooky sci-fi/fantasy novel "A Wrinkle in Time" — featuring a rainbow-winged centaur and a green, glowering, red-eyed face — is iconic. And yet, for nearly 50 years, no one has known who illustrated it. Well, not NO ONE. Not anymore... Endless Thread cracks the case!
Artist, builder, and podcast host Jennifer Espenscheid joins Joe Moore for a rich conversation on creativity, process, and the spiritual dimensions of making art. Drawing from her South Dakota roots and large-scale works like Luciferia, Jennifer reflects on the blend of grit, intuition, and trust that guides her artistic life. She discusses how psychedelics have served as a tool for clarity and healing rather than direct creation of art, helping her dissolve patterns and reconnect to innate creativity. They explore how events like Burning Man catalyze inspiration, why intention and integration matter as much as vision, and the discipline of "earning your dopamine"—staying self-motivated instead of chasing external highs. Jennifer shares lessons about gestation, patience, and protecting early ideas before they're ready to be seen. Together they examine creativity as a human birthright and art as a daily practice of attention and renewal. "By being human, you are intrinsically creative. Psychedelics help me clear the noise so I can actually hear and honor that." Links The Soma Show - Main website Podcast on YouTube Jennifer on LinkedIn

LIMITED SERIES - Don't Panic VOYAGER is still coming! At last, the content faucet begins to turn and these are the first drippings. For FIREFLY we realized that the main topic we would constantly be circling was the age-old ‘can you separate the Art from the Artist' debate. Here we try to tackle that topic first - and while SHOCKINGLY we don't resolve that debate for all time -- this does give at least a solid summary of how we'll attempt to approach the rest of this brief.

It Gets Late Early: Career Tips for Tech Employees in Midlife and Beyond
Ever wondered why AI thinks you need to look younger? In this episode, Gretchen Andrew, a former Google employee turned artist, exposes the disturbing truth about how beauty filters are literally reshaping our faces—and our self-worth.We kick things off with Gretchen's bold pivot from Silicon Valley to the art world, where she's using robots, oil paint, and yes, glitter to reveal what beauty filters actually do to us. Her groundbreaking "FaceTune Portraits" physically apply AI beauty standards to paintings, creating violent scars and marks that show the hidden damage these "harmless" filters inflict on our identities.Gretchen breaks down the dirty secret of AI training data—how algorithms learn beauty from the most biased corners of the internet and create a feedback loop that makes everyone chase the same impossible standard. Even Miss Universe contestants aren't "good enough" for AI filters, and men in their 50s are rescheduling meetings just to use Zoom's "touch up my appearance" feature!From Hollywood actresses getting the same face-altering procedures to look good on small screens, to the shocking reality that social media may have incentivized us to provide facial recognition data for free, this conversation will change how you see every filter, every app, and every "enhanced" photo you encounter.Whether you're tired of the algorithmic beauty trap or just want to understand why everyone's starting to look the same, this episode is essential listening. Gretchen's insights will make you question everything about digital beauty—and maybe even inspire you to embrace what makes you uniquely human.“The question is: Do you want to look old and like yourself, or do you want to look like everybody else and look younger?” ~ Gretchen AndrewIn This Episode:-Leaving Silicon Valley for art-AI vs. beauty standards-The homogenization of beauty-Gretchen's partnership with Andreessen Horowitz-The real story behind AI beauty filters-Ageism in the art and tech world-How Gretchen uses social media for her workAnd much more!Resources:-Free Guide to LinkedIn Job Hunting for the 40+ Crew - https://www.itgetslateearly.com/job-guideConnect with Gretchen Andrew:-Website: https://www.gretchenandrew.com/-LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gretchen-andrew/-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gretchenandrew/Connect with Maureen Clough:-LinkedIn: maureenwclough - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maureenwclough/-Website: itgetslateearly.com - https://www.itgetslateearly.com/-Instagram: @itgetslateearly - https://www.instagram.com/itgetslateearly/-YouTube:

If you've ever felt like you're running your art business alone — juggling painting, packaging, marketing, and a million tabs open in your brain — this episode is for you. This week, we're talking about delegation — how to build systems, support, and structure so you can spend more time creating and less time drowning in admin. My guest is Cara Alford, founder of Allegory Art Consulting, who helps artists and collectors navigate the business side of the art world. Cara works as both an art consultant and a studio manager, supporting artists with everything from pricing and organization to gallery outreach and project management. In this conversation, we talk about:– What art consultants actually do (and how to work with one)– How to know when it's time to ask for help or hire support– The emotional side of delegation (and letting go of control)– Pricing, growth, and staying aligned in your creative business– How to balance creativity with structure — without losing the magic If you're ready to stop doing everything yourself and start building a business that supports your art (not the other way around), this episode will show you where to start. Listen now to learn how to grow with ease, delegate with intention, and create more space for what you love most — making art.

This one starts out a little differently. Ian Paratore was born and raised in San Francisco, but he's moving away. This week. To Oakland. Ian's dad, Vince Paratore, moved into a Victorian in The Haight in the late-Seventies/early Eighties, and is still there. That's the house Ian grew up in starting roughly 10 years later. Both of his parents are artists and teachers. His dad came to San Francisco from Syracuse, New York, to study photography at SF State. And his mom, Valerie O'Riordan, is from Long Beach in Southern California. She moved to The City to work with ACT (American Conservatory Theater). The house at Page and Clayton is the only place Ian's dad has lived in SF. I asked Ian whether he knows any stories from that house before he was born in the early Nineties. Both his parents being "natural hosts," there were many parties. Nowadays, when his dad is out of town, Ian will sometimes have parties of his own at his dad's place. When he does, he says his dad often offers up stories from back in the day. One involves a party with so many people already inside cramming a hallway, folks had to come and go via the first escape. Back in the day, his dad was a general manager at restaurants like Stars, Donatello, Garibaldi's, and Beach Chalet, which he helped open. Both his parents were big in the San Francisco restaurant scene. We turn to Ian's early life, which he experienced in the mid-Nineties to early 2000s. As a kid, and a kid without a backyard, he spent a lot of time in Golden Gate Park and The Panhandle. He hung out on playgrounds and basketball courts. He adds that "the craziness of Haight Street was just … normal." I ask Ian about Skates on Haight, which I knew from my Eighties/Nineties skateboarding days from ads in magazines like Thrasher. (Marcella, who took photos for this episode and was with us at the table, chimes in at this point.) Ian rattles off some spots from his childhood in The Haight—places like Gus's before it was known as Gus's, an Ethiopian restaurant, and a musical instrument store. In high school, Ian got into visual arts and playing sports—mainly baseball and basketball. By the time he got to college, he played baseball "at a high level," and art fell more or less by the wayside. More on that in Part 2. But during high school, though he took art classes, sports dominated his life. We end Part 1 with Ian rattling off the San Francisco schools he went to. He did a stint at College of San Mateo (CSM) before getting into UC Berkeley, which was the first time he lived outside his childhood home. He had flirted with college on the East Coast before deciding to stay closer to home. Check back Thursday for Part 2 with Ian. And join us tomorrow for a very special, timely bonus episode. Follow Ian and Break Fake Rules on Instagram. We recorded this podcast at 540 Bar in the Inner Richmond in October 2025. Photography by Marcella Sanchez
