I've worn a lot of hats. Physician, patient, Domino's delivery guy, even walk-in freezer napper. But in this episode, Kristin and I dive into a conversation that's bigger (and scarier) than my teenage pizza-ball experiments: what happens if we cut health insurance out of healthcare altogether? We start with rabies bats in Wyoming (because of course we do), wander into my old nap habits, and then head straight into a serious discussion sparked by Dr. Elisabeth Potter about the state of private practice medicine. Is it time to rethink the way we pay for healthcare? Could direct patient-physician models actually work? And how much longer can small practices survive the insurance stranglehold? Takeaways: Insurance Reality Check – Who actually sets the prices for your care? Spoiler: not your doctor. The Potter Question – What happens if we cut the middleman and patients just pay doctors directly? Private Practice on the Brink – Why small practices are disappearing—and who's really behind it. Rabies in the Tetons – Hundreds exposed, five painful shots, and a reminder that bats don't always stay in caves. Domino's Memories – From pizza-balls to road rage, the teenage jobs that taught me more about tipping than med school ever did. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Send us a text It's Sunday, the craving for pizza is strong, but our favorite local spot has its doors shut. So Sandra throws out an idea: what if we put the big chains to the test? In this episode, we order up pizzas from Domino's and Papa John's to see if the national giants can actually satisfy when the craving hits. Is there such a thing as a “good” chain pizza? Did either impress us—or leave us saying “never again”? Tune in as we taste, debate, and maybe discover a guilty pleasure.
In which we meet some delightful monsters; Cannonball is a man who knows how to wear overalls; Domino is the Leslie Knope of X-Force; red liquid babies deserve love, too; and not all British authors know each other.
Maddy, Ryan, and Todd discuss the first half of Deadpool 2, which is thankfully an improvement over the first Deadpool movie, but it still has a lot of Vanessa and Wade's chemistry-devoid love story that should not be in the movie. Despite that, we finally get to bring back the long-missing "Who's Gay?" section, which says a lot about how much this movie sets up Colossus/Deadpool and Cable/Deadpool flirtations and bits. The first half of the movie is really just a long wait for Domino, the best part of the movie, whom we'll just have to tell you more about next time.

Aujourd'hui, nous sommes le jeudi 11 septembre.Nous écoutons Jésus dans la suite des Béatitudes, chez Luc. Me voici, disponible et à l'écoute. Je demande la grâce d'accueillir la part scandaleuse de la Bonne Nouvelle, avec l'esprit de discernement qui convient. Au Nom du Père, du Fils et du Saint-Esprit. AmenNous écoutons le chant en latin “Jubilate Deo” chanté par l'Académie Musicale de Liesse.R/ Jubilate Deo, jubilate deo (ter) 1. Jubilate Deo, omnis terra; servite Domino in laetitia.Introite in conspectu ejus in exsultatione. (ter)2. Quoniam suavis est Dominus: in aeternum misericordia ejus, et usque in generationem et generationem veritas ejus.Traduction :1. Peuples de toute la terre réjouissez-vous en Dieu,servez le Seigneur avec allégresse.Fidèles, présentez-vous avec allégresse devant sa face. 2. Car l'Éternel est bon ; sa bonté dure toujours, et sa fidélité de génération en génération.La lecture de ce jour est tirée du chapitre 6 de l'Evangile selon saint Luc, versets 27 à 38.En ce temps-là, Jésus déclarait à ses disciples : « Je vous le dis, à vous qui m'écoutez : Aimez vos ennemis, faites du bien à ceux qui vous haïssent. Souhaitez du bien à ceux qui vous maudissent, priez pour ceux qui vous calomnient. À celui qui te frappe sur une joue, présente l'autre joue. À celui qui te prend ton manteau, ne refuse pas ta tunique. Donne à quiconque te demande, et à qui prend ton bien, ne le réclame pas. Ce que vous voulez que les autres fassent pour vous, faites-le aussi pour eux. Si vous aimez ceux qui vous aiment, quelle reconnaissance méritez-vous ? Même les pécheurs aiment ceux qui les aiment. Si vous faites du bien à ceux qui vous en font, quelle reconnaissance méritez-vous ? Même les pécheurs en font autant. Si vous prêtez à ceux dont vous espérez recevoir en retour, quelle reconnaissance méritez-vous ? Même les pécheurs prêtent aux pécheurs pour qu'on leur rende l'équivalent. Au contraire, aimez vos ennemis, faites du bien et prêtez sans rien espérer en retour. Alors votre récompense sera grande, et vous serez les fils du Très-Haut, car lui, il est bon pour les ingrats et les méchants. Soyez miséricordieux comme votre Père est miséricordieux. Ne jugez pas, et vous ne serez pas jugés ; ne condamnez pas, et vous ne serez pas condamnés. Pardonnez, et vous serez pardonnés. Donnez, et on vous donnera : c'est une mesure bien pleine, tassée, secouée, débordante, qui sera versée dans le pan de votre vêtement ; car la mesure dont vous vous servez pour les autres servira de mesure aussi pour vous. » Textes liturgiques © AELF, Paris1. J'imagine l'expression qui se lit sur les visages. Cette assemblée vient de recevoir les Béatitudes, en même temps qu'une série d'imprécations : Malheureux, vous les riches, les repus, les ricaneurs et les vaniteux. Voici maintenant le Christ qui leur demande d'aimer leurs ennemis. J'imagine l'ambiance. 2. « Quelle reconnaissance méritez-vous ? » Je reçois cette question pour moi : de quelle reconnaissance suis-je en attente ? Quelque validation ? Quelque autorisation ? J'interroge le Christ : quelle reconnaissance promet-il ?3. « Aimer nos ennemis » : comment Jésus lui-même a-t-il mis en pratique cette parole ? Comment s'est-il fait des ennemis ? Comment a-t-il aimé les pharisiens ? Comment a-t-il aimé les marchands du temple ? Je mesure le paradoxe.Je réécoute ce texte. Je demande l'esprit de discernement. L'invitation du Christ est moins une injonction pour la réconciliation inconditionnelle et automatique, qu'un appel à lutter contre l'esprit du monde : une soif de reconnaissance, un honneur à défendre, une réputation à sauver. Cette parole est rude, elle porte une violence. Comme un ami parle à un ami, j'ose une conversation franche avec le Christ. Je lui confie ce qui monte de mon cœur : les incompréhensions comme les questions. Je lui dis combien j'attends sa réponse. Âme du Christ, sanctifie-moi. Corps du Christ, sauve-moi. Sang du Christ, enivre-moi. Eau du côté du Christ, lave-moi. Passion du Christ, fortifie-moi. Ô bon Jésus, exauce-moi. Dans tes blessures, cache-moi. Ne permets pas que je sois séparé de toi. De l'ennemi perfide, défends-moi. À l'heure de ma mort, appelle-moi. Ordonne-moi de venir à toi, pour qu'avec tes Saints je te loue, toi, dans les siècles des siècles.

Sejumlah pejabat di lingkaran pemerintahan Prabowo-Gibran menjadi sorotan publik akibat krisis etika. Menteri Kehutanan Raja Juli Antoni dan Menteri Pelindungan Pekerja Migran Indonesia Abdul Kadir Karding terlihat bermain domino bersama mantan tersangka kasus pembalakan liar Azis Wellang.Meskipun status tersangka Azis Wellang telah dibatalkan dan pertemuan disebut sebagai silaturahim, publik menuntut bukti nyata komitmen etika dari pejabat.

39 And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.Exsurgens autem Maria in diebus illis, abiit in montana cum festinatione, in civitatem Juda : 40 And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.et intravit in domum Zachariae, et salutavit Elisabeth. 41 And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:Et factum est, ut audivit salutationem Mariae Elisabeth, exsultavit infans in utero ejus : et repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth : 42 And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.et exclamavit voce magna, et dixit : Benedicta tu inter mulieres, et benedictus fructus ventris tui. 43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?Et unde hoc mihi, ut veniat mater Domini mei ad me? 44 For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.Ecce enim ut facta est vox salutationis tuae in auribus meis, exsultavit in gaudio infans in utero meo. 45 And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.Et beata, quae credidisti, quoniam perficientur ea, quae dicta sunt tibi a Domino. 46 And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.Et ait Maria : Magnificat anima mea Dominum : 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo.At the time of Mary's birth the whole world was plunged in darkness. The heathen nations were steeped in vice and pride. The Jews, beloved of God, had strayed from Him. Everywhere there was sin and gloom, no bright spot on the face of the earth. But when Mary was born a light arose amid the darkness; the dawn of the glorious day that was to usher in the Redeemer. So, too, the darkness of the sinner's soul is dispersed by Mary's holy influence. Where the love of her is born in the soul, all becomes full of light, and Jesus comes to make is habitation there. Mary, in the first hour of her life, brought more glory to God than all the Saints of the Old Testament. In her were made perfect obedience of Abraham, the chastity of Joseph, the patience of Job, the meekness of Moses, the prudence of Josue. It is because she is the model and pattern of these and all other virtues that she can communicate them to us.

Are most brands still designing customer journeys, or are they just trying to keep up with where their customers are leading them? Agility requires a willingness to meet your customers where they are—not just where you wish they'd convert. In an era where the consumer journey can begin and end on a social platform or anywhere in between, brands must be fluid enough to engage meaningfully across channels while still connecting the dots behind the scenes. Today we're going to talk about the changing consumer journey and why a connected ecosystem that includes social commerce, audience targeting, and measurement is now table stakes.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Janna Navarro, VP, Brand & Media Strategy at Wpromote.

This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions: Hello gentleman, thank you again for one of the best woodworking podcasts available. I recently had the opportunity to travel to Lebanon IN for a few days of training at a tool manufacturer. I won't mention the company, but I got to use a Domino and a Rotex sander for the first time..., but I digress. While I was in the airport waiting for my flight home and enjoying a breakfast sandwich, I looked down at the table and noticed the "purposeful-design" logo branded on the top. This experience gave me two questions. One, what finish did Guy and Brian use on these tables to survive the abuse of so many travelers per day through an airport? Two, during the training we sanded a piece of cherry to 1500 grit, giving a very high sheen to the bare wood. What type of technique or finish would you use on something like that? Thank you for the great podcast, and I'm sorry I didn't have time to say hi while I was in Indianapolis. I waved from the plane, but you probably didn't notice. Josh Hello fellow wood-nerds. I would like some advice on finishing. I've been doing a bathroom remodel. Which means I've spent a very long time doing non-woodworking work and learning new skills and desperately missing my shop time. I'm near the end finally and actually get to do some woodwork to wrap it up. My new floor doesn't quite line up with the floor in the next room and the transition pieces available don't quite suit. So I'm making one custom out of walnut. My question is: what would be a good finish? I don't want it glossy or “plasticy” looking. But of course it will be stepped on and exposed to humidity from the shower so it does need to be durable. Thanks in advance Jason Guys Questions: This one may for Guy specifically but I'm interested in getting a 3D printer and would like your opinion on what I might want to look at. I have a total budget of around $1000 and want something that is very turnkey; I don't have a ton of time to learn how to use the machine and would like that will work for me out of the box. I'm looking at the Bambu Labs p1S; would this be a good starter machine? Thanks again for the great Podcast! Ron Brewer Hi Guys, I am hoping to eventually upgrade my table saw from a jobsite saw. I have heard a little bit of discussion about the advantages of an induction motor over a universal motor but I was wondering if you could provide some insight about voltage for a table saw. Obviously higher power is available with table saws that operate on higher voltages but as a hobbyist I am wondering how much power I actually need. I do make some cabinets and furniture as well as smaller projects. So here is an assortment of questions that are perhaps intertwined: Is the increase in power with a 240V saw worth it? I would also have to get new electrical added to my garage. Is the type of motor related to the voltage? In your opinion are table saws that can be rewired from 120 to 240V a viable option? Would the power actually change with the rewiring? Are there any other considerations that I am not thinking of? Thank you all for your insight. Brad Huys Questions: If you're installing a herringbone floor, do you need to think about chatoyance, in addition to colour and grain pattern, when you're laying out the pieces? Do you want all of the pieces to be oriented to have similar chatoyance? Lauris Hello Guys, I listen to your podcast while driving to and from work. I really appreciate that you stay on track and offer several opinions regarding woodworking without the cackling and inside jokes, poor microphone control etc that other woodworking podcasts seem to have. I build a lot of Shaker style furniture with tapered legs and built my own taper jig, a sled which clamps the leg at the desired angle with the widest part of the cutoff leading into the blade. This has worked very well except that occasionally, the wedge that is cutoff tips into the crack between the saw blade and the insert, jamming and sometimes tripping the saw's overload protection. I have cut a brand new table saw insert with the intention of creating as close to a zero clearance slot as possible but it still is wide enough for the sliver edge of the taper cutoff to drop in. How have you avoided this in the past? Would a reverse orientation of the taper jig be safer such that the thinnest part of the cutoff is cut first and therefore at the back of the blade and the thickest part is the last part cutoff? Thank you! Don
Artificial light detected on 3I Atlas?? https://youtu.be/NPEsXoYHbV4?si=l0IbtqvDcdGFoDzz&t=186 Meet Britain's real-life SUPERVILLAIN: Eccentric millionaire lives in a bunker beneath a Cold War radar - and is convinced he's going to find UFOs https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14993489/Britains-real-life-SUPERVILLAIN-millionaire.html 00:00:00 – Alex Jones Mayhem & Comet Chaos The show opens with chaos and laughs, featuring clips from Alex Jones—wild rants, offbeat jokes, and absurd statements. The crew teases upcoming topics, including a UK millionaire building a UFO-hunting base. They also preview headlines about comets possibly threatening Earth and eccentric billionaires preparing bunkers. 00:10:00 – InfoWars on the Auction Block A deep dive into the legal saga of Alex Jones and InfoWars. A judge rules that InfoWars' assets can be sold off to help pay the billion-dollar judgment owed to Sandy Hook families. The team discusses the failed auction attempt involving The Onion and speculates on who might try to buy InfoWars next—perhaps Steve Bannon or Roger Stone. 00:20:00 – Alien Comet Incoming? Attention shifts to Comet 3I/Atlas, a fast-approaching object potentially under intelligent control. Harvard's Avi Loeb believes it may be emitting its own light, indicating it's artificial. The crew plays a clip from “Angry Astronaut,” who argues the object's brightness defies explanation unless it's alien tech. They joke about preparing for impact and speculate whether it's a derelict or generational alien ship. 00:30:00 – Eccentric Bunker Billionaire The spotlight turns to Dr. William Sachiti, a British-Zimbabwean millionaire who lives in a Cold War radar bunker in Norfolk. He's using AI and old military tech to build a UFO-detecting system. With robotic assistants and radar experiments, he's part Tony Stark, part Bond villain. The crew jokes about his lifestyle, isolation, and paranoid security problems. 00:40:00 – AJ-AI and Trump's Anklegate Discussion turns to creating an AI trained on Alex Jones transcripts—"AJ AI." They brainstorm using it for content and entertainment. Meanwhile, Trump's recent comments about heaven spark health concerns. Photos of his “massive ankles” go viral, and his walking pattern is dissected like a Zapruder film. They play a clip of Trump speaking ambiguously about mortality. 00:50:00 – Hologram Cops & Toilet Tech South Korea's use of holographic police in parks leads to Blade Runner comparisons and concern over creepy AI surveillance. The hosts mock the “ghost cop” concept. Meanwhile, AI's role in global government expands: Albania is considering a ministry fully run by AI to fight corruption. 01:00:00 – Hitchbot Murder & AI Nation-State Remember Hitchbot? The robot hitchhiker who was murdered in Philly. The team reminisces on AI's grim fate when let loose in the real world. South Korea's hologram cop strategy is seen as ineffective for high-crime US cities. The hosts sarcastically pitch millions of hologram cops for America. More on Albania's AI government idea and potential pitfalls of AI corruption. 01:10:00 – Slang Woes & Reverse-Engineered UFOs The Cambridge Dictionary adds “skibidi,” “tradwife,” and “delulu,” triggering a rant about internet slang invading the lexicon. Then, the crew discusses a CEO claiming to reverse-engineer alien materials. He describes advanced tech using “composite conductors” and scalar radiation to explain how triangular craft cloak themselves. 01:20:00 – UFO Tech & Slide Rescue Drama More from the UFO CEO: strange materials allow for incredible feats like visual cloaking. Then, levity returns with the story of a man stuck in a playground slide. It takes a full emergency response to extract him, drawing parallels to Homer Simpson. The incident goes viral. 01:30:00 – AI in Power, Domino's Navy, and Skibidi Lore Albania may let AI run ministries. Domino's tests a submarine pizza delivery service in Loch Ness, which fools people into thinking Nessie has returned. There's also debate about the origin of “skibidi” and whether it's a legit cultural trend or just online nonsense. 01:40:00 – Hollow Cops & Dumb Bikes The episode ends with Domino's failed “pothole-proof” bikes—really just basic mountain bikes—and more jokes about hollow cops and pizza submarines. They mock the PR stunts and close out laughing at Domino's overhyped marketing. 01:50:00 – McDonald's Cybersecurity Reality Check The crew turns to cybersecurity, focusing on how even massive corporations like McDonald's seem to operate on weak, outsourced, or patchwork systems. Despite vast resources, global companies often lack robust internal protections. The team speculates that poor systems architecture and design are widespread, and not unique to McDonald's.

Domino's isn't just delivering pizza in 30 minutes or less anymore—they're trying to deliver candidates, too. In this episode, we sit down with Matt King, Director of HR Tech at Domino's, to talk AI, ATS drama, and why franchisees always have “better ideas” than corporate. From killing off Kenexa (RIP, nobody misses you) to jumping into bed with SmartRecruiters, Domino's is betting big on speed, automation, and a sprinkle of chatbot charm. Matt spills on: Why hiring at Domino's must be as fast as ordering a pepperoni with extra cheese. How chatbots went from clunky decision trees to almost-human assistants (minus the dad jokes). What happens when franchisees get in a room with vendors. The eternal struggle between human touch and “just let the damn bot send the background check reminder.” And yes—we even asked about the Noid. Because if Domino's doesn't bring him back as a recruiting chatbot, what are we even doing here? It's tech, pizza, and questionable morals—just another day on The Chad & Cheese Podcast: AI Sessions.

But the project was ill-fated from its inception. A good faith commitment to feeding Gazans would been leaving the U.N. Relief and Works Agency intact. Four hundred distribution sites under UNRWA became just four under GHF's control, and Palestinian corpses accumulated at distribution sites as contractors shot at crowds and distributed meagre meals to a starving population. Meanwhile, contractors being paid $1200 per day slept in luxury across the border in Israel, while they ordered Domino's Pizza to feed Palestinian staffers that had not been provided for. In his shocking testimony, Aguilar blows the whistle on offenses more egregious than you can imagine. Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.

This episode was recorded at the 2025 Western Dairy Management Conference in Reno, Nevada.Stan begins with an overview of the dairy checkoff since its inception in 1983. At that time, dairy farmers were producing 139 billion pounds of milk, but only 122 million pounds were being consumed. Dairy promotion has evolved to focus on research and education about nutrition, crisis management and even partnerships with Domino's, Taco Bell and McDonald's. (3:02)Stan and Marty detail some of the national and regional partnerships around dairy menu options. Walt notes that the grilled cheese burrito from Taco Bell is one of his son's favorite fast food meals. The panel discusses some of the strategy behind the Taco Bell partnership as well as marketing to Gen Z consumers about how dairy fits into mind and body wellness. (6:39)Walt comments the checkoff has done and is continuing to do a great job of being future-ready. He remembers a few years ago hearing about the gaming generation and partnerships with Mr. Beast and YouTube and embedding cows in Minecraft, and now his sons are playing Minecraft and gaming and are on YouTube. (13:43)Stan notes in 1995, exports were at 3%. That has now increased to 16-17%. Marty gives some examples of partnerships with the Dallas Cowboys and HEB stores in Mexico to promote dairy. (16:09)The panel discusses the US investments in processing, the “Dairy Renaissance”, research into dairy-as-medicine, and continued product innovations to meet consumer demands. (23:24)Marty and Stan detail the agreement between the Dairy Checkoff and Mayo Clinic investigating the role of whole milk foods in treating and preventing cardiovascular and metabolic disease.

Crumbl may be a cookie business – but Jason McGowan turned it into a fast-growing restaurant chain by building it like a tech startup. He and co-founder Sawyer Hemsley meticulously A/B tested the recipe, launched a delivery app early on, and went viral with weekly drops of wild new flavors like bubblegum and Almost Everything Bagel. In just eight years, Crumbl has opened over 1,000 stores, and has dominated the cookie conversation on social media, with more TikTok followers than Starbucks, Domino's, and Taco Bell combined.This episode was produced by Alex Cheng with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

In 1960, two brothers scraped together $900 and bought a failing pizzeria in Michigan, launching what would become a cautionary tale about sales incentive programs gone wrong. Within months, one brother traded his half of the business for a beat-up Volkswagen, leaving Tom Monaghan alone with his ambitions. By 1965, with three stores under his belt, Tom faced a naming crisis. He couldn't legally keep using the original name, DomiNick's, so an employee suggested "Domino's." The logo? Three dots, one for each store. Tom figured he'd add a new dot for every location. After opening store number five, he wisely reconsidered that plan. Because what happened next wasn't just growth—it was an explosion that would teach sales leaders everywhere a crucial lesson about the double-edged sword of powerful incentives. How One Sales Incentive Program Nearly Destroyed a Billion-Dollar Company Here's what America looked like in the early 1980s: Microwave ovens were revolutionizing kitchens, Federal Express was making overnight delivery an expectation, and Americans weren't just eating faster—they were living faster. Domino's fit perfectly into this new rhythm, but Tom Monaghan wanted more. In a move that bordered on dangerous, he made a promise so simple it would define the company for decades: "Pizza Delivered in 30 Minutes or It's Free." It wasn't just about pizza. It was about certainty. And America bought it—literally. Within a year, sales exploded. From 200 stores in 1978 to over 2,500 by 1985. Over 5,000 by 1989. Every store became a speed factory with slimmed-down menus, cookie-cutter layouts, and drivers who might as well have been sitting behind the wheel with engines already running. Competitors couldn't keep up. But here's the brutal truth about speed: you don't see the danger until it's too late. The Hidden Dangers of Performance-Based Compensation Here's what every sales leader needs to understand: Powerful sales incentives, pushed too far, create unintended consequences that can destroy company culture. This principle, that when metrics become targets, they cease to be good metrics, would prove devastatingly true for Domino's. At first, the cracks were small. A delivery driver rolling a stop sign here, a speeding ticket there. But this wasn't a system built to reward patience—it was built to reward speed at any cost. Inside Domino's stores, the pressure wasn't subtle. Drivers were expected to race the clock. If they missed the 30-minute mark, some franchises made them pay for the order out of their own pockets. The message was clear: make it fast, or make it up yourself. Rolling stops became running red lights. Neighborhood shortcuts turned into risky maneuvers through heavy traffic. What customers didn't see—and what Domino's executives refused to acknowledge—was that they'd created a ticking time bomb. Speed wasn't just a business model anymore; it had become a way of life that determined every employee's behavior, and smart sales leaders understand this connection between incentives and culture. By the late 1980s, insurance companies raised Domino's premiums by 15-20 percent. Reports surfaced of accidents tied to delivery drivers rushing to meet the 30-minute window. Then came the story that changed everything: A Domino's driver in St. Louis ran a red light, colliding with another vehicle. Inside that car was Jean Kinder, whose life was permanently changed. The jury awarded her $78 million in punitive damages. In 1993, Domino's officially ended the 30-minute guarantee in the United States. Here's what most sales leaders get wrong about incentives: they don't just shape what people do—they shape who people become. Sound familiar? It should. Because this same pattern plays out in sales organizations every single day. 5 Warning Signs Your Sales Incentives Are Backfiring Take Wells Fargo's aggressive cross-selling goals in the mid-2010s.
