You've heard of the Great Wealth Transfer taking place as Baby Boomers pass away, but did you know that women will inherit the majority of those assets?It's true. The Great Wealth Transfer is really horizontal, with widows inheriting most private wealth before it's passed on to the next generation. Sharon Epps joins us today to talk about how women should prepare.Sharon Epps is the president of Kingdom Advisors, our parent organization. Kingdom Advisors is a group dedicated to training financial professionals to guide and advise you according to biblical principles.Women as the Primary InheritorsOne surprising fact is that women will inherit the majority of this wealth. Since women typically outlive men by about six to seven years, nearly 70% will experience widowhood and manage their spouse's share of assets. In addition to inheriting from their husbands, many women will also receive an inheritance from their parents, and, increasingly, they are generating their own income through employment. This convergence of income streams will place an estimated two-thirds of U.S. assets—around $30 trillion—under women's control by 2030, according to McKinsey & Company.The Heart of Generosity: Purpose, Passion, and PlanThe wealth transfer isn't just about financial assets; it's a significant opportunity for generosity. Three key factors inspire generosity: purpose, passion, and planning.Purpose: A strong sense of purpose can motivate people to give more. Research from Women Doing Well revealed that women who score high on purpose tend to donate around 14% of their income, compared to 9% for those with lower purpose scores.Passion: Passion for a cause often stems from personal experiences of pain or suffering. This deeply held belief leads people to make sacrificial giving decisions. When people align their hearts with God's, they are inspired to give courageously and with conviction, connecting their generosity to meaningful experiences.Planning: Effective financial planning is essential for generosity, especially for women who aspire to give more but may lack the structure to manage their finances for greater impact. Financial planning and passion must work hand-in-hand to create a lasting legacy of giving.Building a Generous Legacy: Preparing for Wealth ResponsibilityWith the responsibility of managing inherited wealth, women must be equipped with spiritual foundations and financial wisdom. Three main influences support women's generosity:Understanding that God owns it all.Personal spiritual disciplines like Bible study and prayer.Receiving teaching on stewardship.When women embrace these principles, they can approach wealth with a mindset of stewardship rather than ownership, seeing it as a resource to bless others.Women and Collaborative GivingWomen often approach giving differently than men, preferring collaboration and community. Studies from the National Christian Foundation show that women are twice as likely to participate in collaborative giving, pooling resources with others to maximize their impact. Women seek transformational experiences rather than merely transactional ones, often using giving as a means to disciple their families and build stronger connections within their communities.For women looking to embrace generosity and connect with like-minded individuals, we recommend organizations such as Women Doing Well, Generous Giving, and the National Christian Foundation (NCF). These groups offer opportunities for women to strategize, collaborate, and grow in their giving journey.Embracing Generosity as a Lasting LegacyAs the wealth transfer unfolds, the unique generosity of women presents an unparalleled chance to impact future generations. For those who steward this opportunity with purpose, passion, and a solid plan, the legacy of giving can become not only a financial blessing but a tool for discipleship and transformation.Connecting with organizations and communities that support women's giving can help women maximize this historic moment and courageously and convictionally live out the principles of generosity.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 75, and my husband is 78. If he passes away, I'll lose about $4,000 per month in income. I have $2,800 from teacher retirement, $662 in social security, and $2,000 from a 403(b). I've saved $80,000 and can save an extra $4,000 monthly. I'm concerned about managing the $4,000 income drop and what to do with the $80,000 I've saved.My wife and I own two homes—one is a rental property I moved out of in 2022. We're trying to determine the best time to sell both properties and how to maximize the capital gains exclusion, especially since we both had primary residences prior to getting married in 2022.Resources Mentioned:Generous GivingNational Christian Foundation (NCF)Women Doing WellLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

In this conversation, Dr. Paul Paul Pettit and Jason Epps discuss the themes of disability and community within the church, focusing on the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, both physical and social. They emphasize the importance of building genuine friendships, advocating for inclusivity, and the need for a mindset shift in how churches approach disability. The discussion also highlights the five-step plan for fostering relationships with individuals with disabilities, aiming to create a more inclusive and understanding community.To watch this interview, visit: www.YouTube.com/@BibleAndTheologyMattersTake Aways-Disability is often viewed through the lens of physical barriers, but social barriers can be even more significant.-Building genuine friendships with individuals with disabilities is crucial for inclusion.-Awareness of physical barriers can lead to better accessibility in churches and communities.-Advocacy is essential in helping individuals with disabilities navigate social situations. -The concept of 'temporarily able-bodied' reminds us that anyone can face disability at any time.-Engaging with individuals with disabilities requires a mindset shift from pity to partnership. -The five-step plan includes noticing, engaging, researching, incorporating, and advocating for individuals with disabilities.-Churches should focus on genuine relationships rather than checking off boxes for service.-Education and exposure to disabilities can foster understanding and compassion in communities.

“And you shall rejoice in all the good that the Lord your God has given to you and to your house…“ - Deuteronomy 26:11God is worthy of all the praise we can give Him, but that's not the only reason to be grateful for His blessings. Sharon Epps is here to tell us what happens when we rejoice in God's provision.Sharon Epps is the president of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.The Connection Between Gratitude and GenerosityTrue generosity begins with a sense of gratitude. This gratitude comes from recognizing that we are made in God's image. As His image-bearers, we are inherently wired with traits like generosity. However, generosity is difficult to practice without first appreciating all that God has given us. We must take the time to regularly practice being grateful for life itself, our families, friends, and the resources God has entrusted to us. Most importantly, we should cherish the gift of Jesus Christ, who offers us eternal life.Living a grateful life involves intentional practices. One method that can help with this is keeping a gratitude journal. By taking a few minutes a day to write down a few things you are grateful for, you can find healing and growth. Cultivating this habit with discipline will help you maintain a thankful perspective, even when life is tough.How Gratitude Fuels GenerosityGratitude transforms how we see our resources, allowing us to live with an open hand. When we recognize that everything she has comes from God, it becomes easier to hold things loosely, knowing that God is our true provider. This perspective shift also helps us see new ways to be generous beyond financial giving. For example, gratitude can encourage us to practice hospitality, and appreciation for our unique skills can motivate us to use them to serve others. Ultimately, gratitude leads to humility, which makes us more aware of others' needs and eager to help.Keeping Gratitude at the Heart of ThanksgivingWith Thanksgiving approaching, families must keep gratitude central during their celebrations. Simple but meaningful activities like going around the table and sharing what each person is thankful for. Another favorite idea is creating “construction paper placemats,” where each family member writes down a gratitude message for others. These activities help foster a spirit of thankfulness and bring families closer together during the holiday.Grateful living can transform our lives and our giving. By recognizing God's gifts, expressing gratitude, and using our resources generously, we can impact others in meaningful ways. As we approach Thanksgiving, let's make gratitude the foundation of our celebrations and carry that spirit with us throughout the year.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife and I are inheriting a significant amount of money, including $50,000 cash, $200,000 in stocks, and $600,000 in mutual funds. We have limited long-term savings and only a car loan as debt. Should I work with the CKA (Certified Kingdom Advisor) with whom we have an appointment or open a Schwab account independently? How should we manage this inheritance?I'm looking for CD rates that are comparable to my Christian beliefs. Can you provide guidance on where I can find Christian-aligned banking options for CDs?I'm a single mom of three children with a limited income. I was wondering how I could raise my credit score.

This episode explores Bridge of Spies (2015), the Cold War legal and political thriller directed by Steven Spielberg (and written by Matt Charman, Ethan Coen, and Joel Coen). The film is based on the true story of American attorney James Donovan, who is assigned to represent Soviet spy Rudolf Abel after Abel is arrested in New York and prosecuted for espionage. The story takes a turn when American pilot Francis Gary Powers is captured by the Russians after his plane is shot down over the Soviet Union while conducting a surveillance mission. Donovan is then tasked with negotiating a high-stakes prisoner exchange—Abel for Powers—that culminates in a climactic scene on the Glienicke Bridge connecting Potsdam with Soviet-controlled East Berlin. The film is not only highly entertaining; it also provides a window into important legal issues around national security, criminal, and immigration law that still resonate today. Joining me to talk about Bridge of Spies are Lenni Benson, Distinguished Chair in Immigration and Human Rights Law at New York Law School, one of the nation's foremost authorities immigration law and a prominent advocate in the field, and Jeffrey Kahn, University Distinguished Professor at SMU Dedman School of Law, a leading scholar on constitutional and counterterrorism law, an expert on Russian law, and the author of a must-read article on the Abel case, published in the Journal of National Security Law and Policy.

“Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.” - Proverbs 11:14At one time, finding someone who shared your Christian values and could give you expert financial guidance was quite a challenge. But today, a nationwide network of Christian financial professionals fills that void. Sharon Epps joins us today to explain “What is a CKA®?”Sharon Epps is the president of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.The Origin of Certified Kingdom AdvisorsIf you're new to the concept of a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA), you might wonder what sets these financial professionals apart. CKAs are not only trained in financial services but also rooted in a biblical worldview, helping individuals and families make faith-based financial decisions. There are over 1,500 CKAs across the U.S. and Canada, and that number continues to grow.Larry Burkett and Ron Blue inspired the concept of Kingdom Advisors, realizing that God's people needed trusted, biblically minded financial advisors to help them steward their resources. This vision laid the foundation for the CKA designation, the only credential in the financial industry dedicated to biblically wise financial advice. CKAs are financial professionals, such as planners, accountants, investment advisors, insurance professionals, and lawyers, who are passionate and qualified to integrate faith and finances into their practice.What Does It Take to Become a Certified Kingdom Advisor?Becoming a Certified Kingdom Advisor involves rigorous training. CKAs complete 90 hours of study at the college level, capped by a five-hour proctored exam. This training includes navigating financial decisions from a biblical perspective through a case study of a real family, Bob and Debbie.This process equips financial professionals with deep biblical convictions about financial decision-making and enhances their ability to give competent, faith-aligned advice to their clients. The CKA credential is highly valued across the financial services industry and recognized by firms for its commitment to biblically-based stewardship.Stories of TransformationOne of the most rewarding aspects of the CKA program is hearing stories from advisors who have completed the training and how it has impacted their practice. Sharon shared a few examples, including an advisor who wrote:“My practice is no longer just about financial acumen. It's about integrating faith and finance, reshaping how I interact with my clients.”Another advisor reflected: “Becoming a CKA has been more than an educational pursuit; it has been a catalyst for spiritual growth and discernment. With each scripture memorized and lesson learned, I've gained clarity on God's calling and purpose for me as a leader and disciple-maker.”These stories illustrate how the CKA designation transforms financial professionals' professional growth and personal faith journeys, allowing them to serve their clients more holistically.Why Choose a Certified Kingdom Advisor?Why should you choose a Certified Kingdom Advisor if you're considering financial guidance? Money is a tool, and having an advisor who shares your biblical worldview ensures that your financial decisions are aligned with your faith. CKAs help you steward your resources wisely and offer spiritual encouragement through prayer and scripture.If you're ready to take the next step and find a Certified Kingdom Advisor, visit FaithFi.com and click “Find a Professional.” You can connect with a CKA in your area who can guide you in faithful financial stewardship.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My son got into a terrible car accident and suffered a brain injury. It took him four years to recover and get back on his feet. He's in his early 30s and has a job, but he's worried about losing his Medicare disability payments if he earns too much. I'm unsure of the rules around the substantial gainful activity limit and the trial work period. Can you help me understand how he can continue working without jeopardizing his disability benefits?My husband and I just sold one of our investment properties for $200,000, and we made about $140,000 in profit. We're about three years away from retirement. Should we use that $200,000 to buy another investment property to avoid paying capital gains taxes? Or should we invest the money elsewhere instead of doing a 1031 exchange?27 years ago, I bought some savings bonds for my sons, who are now adults. The bonds have been sitting in a safe all this time. My sons know about the bonds, but I'm unsure what to do with them now. Should I just hold onto the bonds until they mature in three more years? Or should I go ahead and cash them out and give the money to my sons now? I'm still determining if the bonds will be worth much in a few years, so I wonder if I should just let my sons handle it.Can I find the current CD rates from different banks in one place? I'd like to compare the rates and minimum deposit requirements across various banks to find the best CD options. Can you recommend a website or resource that allows me to easily see and compare CD rates from multiple banks?I recently retired and am still figuring out what to do with my 401(k). It has about $130,000 in it, and I still need the money. Should I leave the 401(k) where it is, or should I roll it over into an IRA? I'm not sure how to manage it myself, so I would like to know if I should hire a financial advisor to help me with that. What do you recommend I do?Resources Mentioned:TreasuryDirect.govBankrate | NerdWalletLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

I mean, you can be on top of all the things, and you still have, like you may have your hands full, but you still have that baseball come out your face. So what are you gonna do? Drop one thing, yeah, and try to get the baseball.

The New Zealand electric vehicle market has run out of charge. New Motor Industry Association data shows just one in eleven new vehicle sales are electric, compared to last year where it was one in every four. Imported Motor Vehicle Industry chief executive Greig Epps says it's left many importers with excess stock. However, he says hybrid sales, on the other hand, continue to stay strong. "43 to 45 percent of the used imports that we're bringing in this year have been hybrids. Hybrids are a really solid technology." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The world is becoming more complex every day. Technology solves problems and creates new ones. How do you keep up?Among so many other things today, maybe you've noticed that managing your finances is increasingly complicated and involves more than balancing a checkbook. Sharon Epps joins us today with some much-needed advice—the 5 Ds of a Financial Reset.Sharon Epps is the president of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.1. Define Your Financial VisionThe first step in a financial reset is to Define your standard of living. This goes beyond just wanting financial health; it's about understanding your deeper motivations. What is your “why”? The Bible reminds us in John 10:10 that Jesus came so that we might have life and have it abundantly. This abundant life isn't about wealth but about living a life full of peace and purpose. Define what that means for you and let it guide your financial decisions.2. Declutter Your Life and FinancesNext, it's time to Declutter—and not just your finances but your physical space as well. Spend a weekend going through your home, room by room, asking yourself if each item is still useful. If you haven't used something in the last year, consider selling it or giving it away. Decluttering your home can go a long way toward decluttering your life, making space for what truly matters.3. Delay Impulse PurchasesThe third step is to Delay your impulse purchases. Create a list of things you want to buy and note the date next to each item. Commit to waiting 30 days before making any purchase. More often than not, you'll find that you didn't really need or want the item after all. This simple habit can help you make more intentional spending decisions.4. Detect Spending HabitsThe fourth “D” is Detect. For 30 days, track all your spending and review your expenses. With today's technology, this process is easier than ever since most of us rarely use cash. You can quickly review your bank and credit card statements online. As you do this, ask yourself what you would change. The FaithFi app is a great tool for this. It allows you to combine all your accounts in one place and helps you and your spouse stay on the same page regarding your finances.5. Decide on Your Spending and Giving PlansFinally, it's time to Decide on your financial future. Overhaul your budget, check your priorities, and decide where your money will go. Make “giving” an essential part of your budget. Consider where you can cut expenses to be more generous, whether to your church or a ministry you're passionate about. This step is about re-establishing your priorities and returning to the basics—financially and spiritually.The “5 Ds of a Financial Reset” offers a practical and spiritual approach to managing your finances in today's complex world. By defining your financial vision, decluttering your life, delaying impulse purchases, detecting spending habits, and deciding on your budget, you can regain control of your finances and realign them with your spiritual values. Remember, tools like the FaithFi app can make this process even easier, helping you stay organized and focused on what truly matters.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I plan to retire in a couple of years and work with two different financial advisors. One advisor suggested that I defer my Social Security until age 67 to get a higher monthly benefit. The other advisor says I should start taking Social Security right away so I don't have to withdraw as much from my 401(k), which has over $1 million. I'm trying to decide which approach is better for my situation. What are your thoughts on whether I should delay Social Security or start taking it earlier?I recently got a letter from the IRS stating that I have a retirement fund in another state that I completely forgot about. I've lived in several states and tried to reach out to the previous employer, but they keep giving me different numbers to call, and no one is able to help me locate this account. Should I be concerned about this? Will the IRS handle it for me since they received the 1099 form?My wife and I are both retired - I'm 65, and she's 66. We bought a condo for $280,000 about four months ago and financed $80,000. We plan to stay there forever, and our kids are not interested in the condo when we're done with it. I wonder if getting a reverse mortgage on that $80,000 would be a smart idea for us. We don't have a tremendous amount saved for retirement, but we should be able to get by on our Social Security. Would a reverse mortgage make sense in our situation?I recently inherited some money from my mother, who passed away last fall. I'm looking for the best place to invest that money to get the best CD rates. What would be the best way for me to find the highest CD rates to invest this money?Resources Mentioned:Understanding Reverse: Simplifying the Reverse Mortgage by Dan HultquistMovement.com/FaithBankrate.comUnclaimedRetirementBenefits.comRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Most of us have been taught from early childhood that dreams aren't meant to be taken seriously. "Don't worry, it's just a dream," your parent might have said. But as community builder, author, and product leader Sarah Epps shares with Micah in this Upshots episode, dreams can be a potent source of data to be explored for personal and professional growth. Don't miss this easy approach to receive life direction from your subconscious and literally follow your dreams."Listening to your dreams can be an act of deep compassion and self-trust... when you acknowledge yourself as having something worthy to tell yourself, that can change your life." - Sarah EppsPDF cheat sheet @ https://bit.ly/eppshotsHear more from Sarah and sign up for her Substack at recipeasfeeling.com.Follow Unserious in your podcast app, at unserious.com, and on Instagram and Threads at @unserious.fun.

Send us a Text Message.Hi everybody and welcome to this week's episode of Attendance Bias. I am your host, Brian Weinstein. Today's special guest is a returning champion: Thom Epps, who was a guest on attendance bias way back in the summer of 2020, when the podcast was just getting off the ground. Somehow, with the excitement on my part of hosting a podcast, and Thom's excitement of being a guest on a podcast, his that early episode completely missed the point: Thom picked a show that he did not attend, and I didn't see anything wrong with that, even during the interview!Fast forward a couple of years, and when Thom and I saw one another at Atlantic City this past summer, he asked if he could redeem himself by coming back on the pod to talk about a show that he did attend. Of course he could and he is here today to talk about Phish's show from June 22, 2000 at the Amsouth Amphitheater in Antioch, TN–basically Nashville.I'd heard chunks of this show throughout the years, but never listened to it straight through. My focus was always on the special guests toward the end of the 2nd set, but there is so much more to appreciate here, including a bouncy version of Sand, a silky smooth 2001, and much more.So let's join Thom to talk about No Quarter, Einstein Bagels , and the zeitgeist in 2000 as we discuss June 22, 2000 in Nashville.

Is Jesus Lord of all your affairs, or is there still one part of your life where you insist on being “in charge?”That one area, all too often, is money. We all have to make a decision. Will we live in God's economy or man's? Sharon Epps is here today to help us understand the difference.Sharon Epps is the president of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.Being "In the World" but Not "Of the World"Oswald Chambers once said, "Our Lord did not teach detachment from other things: He taught attachment to Himself." Jesus was not a recluse; He was deeply involved in everyday life but lived according to Kingdom values, not the world's. Larry Burkett also noted that few Christians understand the devastation caused by the misuse of money. Those who embrace God's financial plan stand out, while many struggle within the world's economic system.Man's economy is characterized by frustrations, worries, and anxieties, affecting many Christians as much as non-believers. Sharon highlights that the constant drive for more, as described in Psalm 4:6-8, contrasts sharply with the contentment found in God's economy.Key Differences Between God's Economy and Man's EconomyIn God's economy, He is the master, providing everything, including our ability to earn money (Deuteronomy 8:18). In man's economy, money becomes the master, regardless of how much one has.God is the source of our income in His economy, whereas, in man's economy, people often claim, "I earned it." Recognizing God as the source fosters humility and gratitude.In God's economy, wealth is given to help others and advance His Kingdom. Man's economy views wealth as a means to live independently and insulate oneself from life's problems.The Role of MoneyMoney's purpose is to fulfill God's plans. In contrast, man's economy sees money as a safeguard against potential issues, leading to constant fear and a sense of never having enough.In God's economy, we are trustworthy stewards of temporarily given resources, guided by biblical principles. In man's economy, the focus is on personal fulfillment and happiness.Success in God's economy is defined by faithfulness to His principles, leaving the outcome to God. Man's economy measures success by achievements and net worth, often leading to feelings of failure if goals aren't met.What Drives Us?God's economy promises eternal rewards, with the ultimate affirmation being, "Well done, good and faithful servant!" (Matthew 25:23). Man's economy values earthly gains, which cannot be taken beyond this life.In God's economy, our significance comes from being a child of God. Man's economy ties worth to work, riches, and power, offering little lasting joy. In God's economy, we are driven by His glory and fame. Man's economy motivates us through personal significance and security.Living in God's economy brings contentment in all circumstances, trusting God is in control and will provide. In man's economy, emotional states are volatile and dependent on financial success or failure. Living in God's economy brings peace, purpose, and joy, contrasting sharply with the anxiety and instability of man's economy.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:How does Social Security work if I draw from my ex-spouse's retirement? I was married for 19 years and have not remarried yet. Will taking my ex-spouse's benefit affect what they receive? When would be the right time for me to contact Social Security about claiming this benefit? I work with a ministry called Men of Valor that helps men coming out of incarceration to reenter society. One of the significant challenges we see is that once these men start earning an income, it can be difficult for them to manage their money and avoid overspending. I've heard you talk in the past about budgeting apps and wanted to know if there is something our men could use on their phones to help divide up their paychecks for expenses like rent, food, giving, and other necessities. Can you recommend anything that might work well for this purpose?Resources Mentioned:Rich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Send us a Text Message.An astronomy-themed crossword popped up this Thursday, a theme so near and dear to Mike's heart that he spent ... an inordinate amount of time contemplating the clues. Jean, on the other hand, solved the puzzle at nearly the speed of light, which explains why she looked like a strand of spaghetti as she was finishing up.Besides the ingenious theme, there were quite a few clues worthy of note in the grid, including 17A, Actor Omar, EPPS (not, as our instincts suggested, SHARIF); 5D, An "e-", one that was first developed in 2003, for short, CIG (if you say so!); 31A, Orthodontic device, SPACER (suspiciously close to the theme, surely no accident!); and finally 9D, Festoons with bathroom tissue, informally, TPS (the second reference to the practice this week, is editor Joel Fagliano's house under attack, and this is some sort of desperate appeal for assistance??Show note imagery: Harold ARLEN, composer of Over the Rainbow, hard at work.Contact Info:We love listener mail!

The man behind the mic doing play-by-play for Lynx Radio on KFAN is a new voice. Wendell Epps is just 23 years old and is also the first Black and Hispanic person to do play-by-play for the organization. He joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about his career.
