It's Wednesday, August 13th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Indian jailor and guards beats five pastors Five pastors in central India were assaulted in custody last month.  It all began when a Hindu mob disrupted a church service. Authorities responded by arresting the pastors and slapping them with false charges of forced conversions! Then, the jailor and guards beat the ministers.  One pastor told Morning Star News, “They grabbed the opportunity, and without any trial or evidence beat us mercilessly, simply because we are Christians. … Here in Chhattisgarh [State], they are targeting all the smaller churches. … Hindu extremists target every private celebration taking place in Christian homes.” Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in India. The country is ranked 11th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries worldwide to be a Christian.  Proverbs 17:15 says, “He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.” Armenia and Azerbaijan sign historic peace deal at White House The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a joint declaration for peace at the White House last Friday.  U.S. President Donald Trump called the agreement “historic” as it aims to end decades of conflict between the two southwestern Asian countries.  Armenia and Azerbaijan also signed economic agreements with the U.S., opening the region to American businesses.  Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: “For more than 35 years, Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought a bitter conflict that resulted in tremendous suffering for both nations. They suffered gravely for so many years. Many tried to find a resolution. … They were unsuccessful. But with this accord, we've finally succeeded in making peace.” Trump cracks down on D.C. crime President Trump announced plans on Monday to crack down on crime in Washington, D.C. National Guard members arrived at the nation's capital yesterday. Trump also put the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia under federal control.  President Trump said, “This is Liberation Day in D.C. and we're going to take our capital back.” The White House noted, “If Washington, D.C. was a state, it would have the highest homicide rate of any state in the nation.” 415 hostile incidents against U.S. churches in 2024 The Family Research Council released their latest report on hostility against churches in the United States. Last year, American churches faced 415 hostile incidents. That's down from 485 incidents in 2023 but up from 50 incidents in 2018. Incidents included vandalism, arson, gun-related incidents, and bomb threats. Tony Perkins, the president of Family Research Council, remarked, “The American woke Left has been intentional in spreading its hostility toward the Christian faith throughout every corner of America. … Christians must … demand more from their government leaders when it comes to … preventing criminal acts targeting religious freedom.” 77th city becomes sanctuary for the unborn Life News reports that Douglassville, Texas became the 77th city in the U.S. to ban abortion last Tuesday.  The city council of Douglassville unanimously passed an ordinance to become a Sanctuary City for the Unborn. (You can send a quick one-sentence email of thanks to the City Council members through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com) The ordinance prohibits elective abortions in the city limits. It also bans abortions on Douglassville residents, regardless of where the abortion takes place.  Pastor Heston McLaurin of Douglassville Fellowship Church said, “I thank the Lord for every step forward in defending the lives of unborn children. Proverbs 6:17 says that God hates ‘hands that shed innocent blood' and He is the defender of the helpless.” Americans get majority of calories from ultra-processed foods New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that Americans get most of their calories from ultra-processed foods. Such foods include sandwiches and burgers, sweet bakery products, savory snacks, pizza, and sweetened beverages. Americans get 55 percent of their calories from these ultra-processed foods. That number rose to nearly 62 percent for kids through age 18. 438th baptism anniversary of Indian named Manteo And finally, today marks the 438th anniversary of the baptism of a notable Native American.  Manteo received baptism on August 13, 1587, into the Church of England on Roanoke Island. It was considered the first baptism in the new world and the first baptism of an Indian into the Church of England. The Algonquian Indian helped English settlers at Roanoke make it through a harsh winter in 1585. Manteo also became one of the first Indians to ever visit England. He is remembered as a stalwart friend of the English in the new world.

S&P futures are pointing to a flat open today. Markets are responding positively to a record close in the U.S. markets, driven by CPI data that supports expectations of a September rate cut. While the data reflects mixed impacts from tariffs, it is seen as mild enough to justify Fed easing, particularly amid signs of labor market weakness. Asian markets surged today, with notable performances in Japan and Hong Kong. European markets are also firmer in early trades. Companies Mentioned: Sapiens International, KKR

In this standout episode of Identified, Nabil Ayers sits down with EGOT-winning artist, activist, and cultural icon John Legend to talk about family, race, ancestry, and the stories that shape who we are. John opens up about growing up in a tightly knit Black church community in Ohio, being surrounded by music, and taking piano lessons from age four—learning gospel by ear from his grandmother and classical from a local teacher. But behind the harmony was hardship. He shares how the early loss of his grandmother led to his mother’s decade-long absence and how that trauma shaped his sense of home, responsibility, and resilience. The conversation traces his family lineage, including revelations from his appearance on Finding Your Roots—stories of enslaved ancestors, a great-grandmother who could have passed for white, and a landmark court case in Ohio that secured his family’s freedom generations ago. It’s a deeply personal look at the complexities of Black American identity. John also talks about raising four children with his wife, Chrissy Teigen, and what it means to parent a multicultural, multiracial family in the spotlight. From Thai temples to Black church traditions, he reflects on how he and Chrissy are teaching their children to embrace their mixed heritage and proudly identify as Black, Asian, and Blasian. This is an episode about legacy—musical, cultural, and personal—and what it means to know where you come from, even when some stories were almost lost.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Interview with Pat Ryan, Chairman & CEO of UCore Rare Metals Inc.Recording date: 2nd August 2025Ucore Rare Metals (TSXV:UCU) is positioning itself at the forefront of Western efforts to challenge China's overwhelming dominance in rare earth processing, a sector where the Asian giant controls 95% of global refining capacity. Led by automotive industry veteran Pat Ryan, the Canadian company has developed proprietary technology to process the critical materials that form the backbone of modern technology, from electric vehicle motors to defense systems.The strategic imperative driving Ucore's mission has never been more urgent. China's recent restrictions on rare earth exports and reports of authorities confiscating passports of processing experts underscore the weaponization of supply chain control. "We're bringing the mid-market of the rare earth stream, the supply chain, and making sure that those building blocks of technology connect the mine upstream and the magnet makers downstream," Ryan explains.Ucore's technological breakthrough centers on their RapidSX system, which revolutionizes traditional rare earth processing. Unlike massive Chinese solvent extraction plants that span football fields, RapidSX uses column-based technology requiring only one-third the space and operating as a closed system. This innovation translates to dramatic capital efficiency – their Louisiana facility will cost $65 million compared to $300 million for conventional plants.The company has secured substantial validation through $18.4 million in U.S. Department of Defense grants, complemented by $15.5 million CAD raised from institutional investors in a funding round that closed within 24 hours. This backing supports their Louisiana commercial facility targeting mid-2026 production, focusing on heavy rare earths like dysprosium and terbium that China has restricted and Western defense applications desperately need.With permanent magnet demand projected to grow 200% by decade's end, driven increasingly by robotics and artificial intelligence applications, Ucore's timing appears optimal. Their modular, scalable approach allows incremental capacity additions while serving diverse customer requirements across the Western supply chain that governments are now prioritizing for national security reasons.View Ucore Rare Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ucore-rare-metals-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Pittsburgh's success in the robotics space didn't happen overnight. It's been over 40 years in the making, with education, business, and new innovations all coming together to make the city one of the big robotics hubs alongside Boston and San Francisco.The Pittsburgh Robotics Network has been a key player in that success, giving individuals, companies, and universities the opportunity to collaborate on projects and business opportunities. Executive Director, Jennifer Apicella, joins us on the podcast to give us a background on Pittsburgh's industry and to share her take on the commercialization of robotics and automation.A key theme in this episode is how you don't have to replicate the success of the big cities. Every place is different, and part of Pittsburgh's success has been to lean into its unique strengths and industry challenges. In other words, you don't need your city to become the next Silicon Valley to be successful. In this episode, find out:A recap of the great bars, restaurants and bowling alleys we explored around PittsburghJennifer explains what the Pittsburgh Robotics Network does and how it's helping to support new technology and industry growthSome background on why the Pittsburgh Robotics Network was started and built by the community it now representsHow the group measures success and why commercialization is key to developing technologies that solve real problemsHow other cities and regions can learn from what Pittsburgh has done without needing to copy the same formulaThe challenges of working in a non-profit in a for-profit industry and how Jennifer balances different prioritiesJennifer's advice for becoming a better part of the local technology communityWhy the key to commercialization is about looking beyond the tech and focusing instead on problemsPlans and predictions for Pittsburgh's industry in the next five years Enjoying the show?

Society is going to change. People are going to change, businesses are going to change. Are you on the right side of that change?”“Commercialization is key.

Every June, there is a significant cultural event in Malaysia, which is called the Gawai Dayak Festival, highly celebrated to mark the end of the harvest season and give thanks to the Iban agricultural God, Raja Simpulang Gana. In this episode of the Nordic Asia Podcast, Prof. Julie Yu-Wen Chen from the University of Helsinki talks to Dr. Gregory anak Kiyai, an expert of indigenous ethnic heritage from the Faculty of Creative Arts, University of Malaya, about the Iban indigenous people in Malaysia and the meaning of Gawai Dayak for them. In the photograph of this episode, listeners can see an image taken by Dr Gregory anak Kiyai during fieldwork with the Iban community in 2019. There is a group of Lemambang, revered ritual specialists and custodians of Iban customary law, seen here gathered in a longhouse setting. Typically, elderly Iban men, or Lemambang, are deeply knowledgeable in traditional Iban customs and serve as important cultural figures. They are often consulted for their wisdom and lead significant ceremonies and rituals in the longhouse, especially during Gawai Dayak. On the Nordic Asia Podcast website, Dr Gregory anak Kiyai provides an image of the Lemambang, dressed in traditional Iban ceremonial attire known as baju burung (Iban woven jacket), woven using kebat or sungkit techniques. These garments bear sacred motifs inherited from their ancestors. Their headdresses, called lelanjang, are adorned with feathers from the burung ruai (Argusianus Argus), symbolising reverence to the Iban war God, Aki Senggalang Burung. Julie Yu-Wen Chen is Professor of Chinese Studies and Asian studies coordinator at the Department of Cultures at the University of Helsinki (Finland). Chen is one of the Editors of the highly-ranked Journal of Chinese Political Science. Formerly, she was Editor-in-Chief of Asian Ethnicity. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I sit down with Grace Yung Foster, a Korean adoptee, foster care alumna, and NYU MBA graduate who shares her powerful story of navigating identity, systemic barriers, and the nonprofit world. Grace opens up about growing up in white environments, the struggle with internalized racism, and how becoming a mother sparked a turning point in embracing her heritage and herself. Now, as the founder of the Inclusion Initiative, Grace is creating spaces for adoptees and foster youth of color to find community, mentorship, and professional support that she didn't have. IN THIS EPISODE:Grace's experience growing up as a transracial adoptee in foster careChallenges she faced in the nonprofit sector and leadership rolesThe internalized racism and self-acceptance journey that transformed her lifeHow motherhood became a catalyst for embracing her Korean identityThe founding and mission of the Inclusion Initiative, focused on building community and access for adoptees and foster youth of colorThe importance of authentic mentorship and allyship in breaking systemic barriersGrace's story sheds light on the often unseen struggles of adoptees and foster youth of color, especially in professional spaces where representation and support can be scarce.

Send us a textKaila Yu is a Los Angeles–based luxury travel and culture journalist whose bylines include The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and more. Before her journalism career, she was an actress, an import model, the lead singer of the rock band Nylon Pink, and a student at UCLA. Each chapter of her life, as she shares in her upcoming memoir Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty (Crown, releasing August 19, 2025), was deeply marked by fetishization—often by others, but painfully, at times, by herself.In her memoir, Kaila traces how growing up in the late '90s and early 2000s with limited and hypersexualized Asian female representation shaped her identity. Without authentic role models in media, she learned early that being seen often meant being objectified. She leaned into visibility through modeling, music, and entertainment, but struggled with constant performance—writing overtly sexual lyrics, undergoing body-altering surgeries, and living through years of haze and internal disconnection.Fetishized boldly dismantles the narratives media, culture, and history have forced onto Asian American women. Kaila writes with raw honesty about coercion, trauma, and pain—including being manipulated by a pornographer and having the footage distributed without her consent. She weaves these personal stories with cultural critique, referencing everything from the War Bride Act of 1945 to the myth of the “submissive Asian woman,” and how tropes like these continue to impact real lives. Her writing is both personal and political—an act of truth-telling, resistance, and healing.Now, as she nears publication of her debut book, Kaila is stepping into long-form storytelling with courage and clarity. Her goal: to provide strength and education for others who have experienced similar objectification, and to invite everyone—especially Asian American women—into a deeper understanding of their worth. Through her journalism, her art, and her voice, Kaila Yu is fighting for a world where visibility isn't conditional on being fetishized.__________Music CreditsIntroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OGStingerScarlet Fire (Sting), Otis McDonald, YouTube Audio LibraryOutroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OG__________________My SGV Podcast:Website: www.mysgv.netNewsletter: Beyond the MicPatreon: MySGV Podcastinfo@sgvmasterkey.com

Furthermore, we examine the intricate balance of success and failure in the creative process, as Chef Wallace candidly shares her personal ratio of triumphs to setbacks in the kitchen. The discourse also traverses the whimsical notion of barbecue governance, wherein Chef Wallace humorously articulates her decree against the unsightly practice of compressing brisket for photography. As we conclude, we reflect on the essence of culinary aspiration and the shared experiences that shape our gastronomic journeys.Links referenced in this episode:paintedhillsnaturalbeef.comdakinbop.comCompanies mentioned in this episode: Painted Hills Natural Beef Dakin Bop Popeyes Mentioned in this episode:nullnullThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

This episode we talk with author Kaila Yu,  new book Fetishized and her classic Taiwanese comfort food, Lu Rou Fan. We're a little light on the food this episode but spend lots of time on Kaila's new book, the fetishization of Asian women, and stories that feel like they're from 20 years ago but are, unfortunately, still true today.  Plus we talk about Kaila's experience as an import model, Chinese school, and padding that college application with extracurriculars. Fetishized is out August 19 and available for pre-order whenever you get your books. It's a great read—plus a chapter on The Joy Luck Club!

Most of his current research concerns epistemology, virtues and vices, misanthropy (on which he is writing a book) and pessimism, and south and east Asian philosophies, especially Buddhism, Confucianism and Daoism.In this episode, we talk about philosophical misanthropy. We first discuss what it is, the failing of humanity, and whether most people are decent. We then talk about the relationship between vices, corruption, and misanthropy; and religious and secular misanthropy. We discuss the different types of misanthropes: the activist, the enemy, the fugitive, and the quietist. Finally, we discuss if there could be a fifth type, who would simply embrace the evils of humanity, and how we can deal with humanity's malevolence without losing hope.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

In the past few years, Asian directors, actors, cast and crew have dominated award seasons – from “Parasite” to “Shogun” to “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” And culturally relevant Asian stories in film, on TV, and on streaming platforms continue to resonate with audiences – and bring in big bucks – around the world. So what Asian-led movies and shows should we be adding to our watchlists this summer?

Host Ricky Sacks and Jason McGovern are joined by South Korean Journalist Sungmo Lee as we reflect on Sonny's legacy at the club. Son arrived at Tottenham Hotspur a decade ago - in August, 2015 - and has since established himself as one of the Club's all-time greats. The South Korea international went on to make 454 appearances in Lilywhite, scoring 173 goals, the fifth-highest tally in our history. Appointed captain in 2023, there have been countless memorable moments for Sonny on the pitch during his decade at the Club. In April, 2019, he etched his name into the history books with the first official goal at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and later that same season was an integral member of the first Spurs side to reach a Champions League final, scoring important goals in the round of 16 and quarter-final. Sonny won the FIFA Puskas Award in 2020 for an extraordinary solo goal against Burnley, which saw him dribble the length of the pitch before finding the net. Both a scorer of great goals and a great goalscorer, he added to his personal accolades in 2021/22, receiving the Premier League Golden Boot for his 23-goal return in the division. During his time at the Club, Sonny also became the highest-scoring Asian player in Premier League history and, in addition to leading South Korea to Asian Games success in 2018, has been named ‘Best Footballer in Asia' a record nine times. Sonny's greatest achievement in our colours came in May, 2025, as he led the Club to UEFA Europa League glory in Bilbao. By doing so, he wrote his name into Spurs folklore, becoming one of 13 captains in our history to lift a major trophy. Nominate Last Word On Spurs for Best Podcast - Premier League at the

진행자: 홍유, Chelsea ProctorIs using a sun umbrella linked to racial bias?기사요약: 최근 TikTok 영상에서 아시아에서의 양산 사용이 '백인 우월주의'와 연결된다는 주장에 논란이 일었지만, 전문가들은 양산이 자외선 차단, 피부 보호, 건강 관리에 중요한 역할을 한다고 강조했다.[1] Parasols, or sun umbrellas, have long been a summer necessity in several Asian countries. It is easy to spot both men and women holding them over their heads in the streets of South Korea and Japan, to shield against the sunlight and strong UV rays.necessity: 필수품shield against: ~로 부터 막다, 보호하다[2] However, a viral TikTok video claiming that the widespread use of such sunshades in Asia stems from underlying "white supremacy" has stirred controversy and sparked heated debates over whether the issue is about racism or health.widespread: 널리 퍼진underlying: 겉으로 드러나지 않지만 그 아래에 존재하는stir: 감정이나 반응을 불러일으키다[3] In the video, titled “Asians afraid of being dark," the TikToker questions why parasols are so popular in Asian countries. “Someone needs to explain to me why Asians are so afraid of the sun,” she said."I promise you it's not that bad if you go a little darker ... A few minutes in the sun won't make your skin that dark.”She then went on to imply that the fear of darker skin tones among Asians is linked to the bias of “white supremacy,” suggesting that such aversion stems from internalized ideals of lighter skin as superior.bias: 편견, 특정한 사람이나 그룹에 대해 공정하지 않거나 부당한 생각을 가지는 것white supremacy: 백인 우월주의aversion: 아주 싫어함, 혐오stem: 어떤 일이나 상황이 특정 원인에서 비롯되다internalize: 내재화하다, 외부의 영향이나 사회적 규범을 개인의 사고나 행동으로 받아들이고 그것을 자신의 것으로 만들다기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10545033

Do we really believe that to live is Christ, and to die is gain? After serving for more than a decade as a gospel worker and church planter in Asia, Brother Kevin asks all believers to consider whether we actually live as if we believe these words from Philippians 1:21. He says that of ten people who come to faith in Christ in the area where he works, nine recant when the pressure of persecution rises. Yet seeing the joyful endurance of the one who remains faithful is a great source of encouragement to him. Kevin will share how the Lord called him to serve unreached people groups in Asia, and explain what a new believer is likely to face when they come to Christ in a Buddhist and animistic culture, where persecution usually begins at the family or village level. Because of fear-based animistic practices and the communal culture, the entire community feels like they are at risk when a member of their community becomes a Christian. Kevin has walked with friends who've been put in prison or kicked out of their villages. Some are living in tents because they refused to recant their commitment to Christ. Yet they meet these hardships with joy, responding in faith and perseverance to their persecution. Kevin will discuss how individualistic worldviews in Western nations like the United States compare to the collective Asian culture, and how believers show the unity within Christ's body as they rely on each other when part of the body is hurting. Learn more about the church in Asia and how to pray for Christians there and around the world who face persecution for owning a Bible, gathering for a church service, or simply wearing the name of Christ. The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians throughout the year, as well as provide free access to e-books, audiobooks, video content and feature films.

Dr. Marc Faber, editor of the Gloom Boom and Doom Report, provides his characteristically pessimistic outlook, arguing that while Asian economies have bottomed out, mature Western economies are turning down amid unsustainable asset price inflation. He believes the 40-year asset bubble since 1980-81 is ending and "everything will go down eventually," making preservation of capital more important than growth. Faber is ultra-bearish on all paper currencies, expects residential real estate to decline significantly, and warns the US debt situation "will end badly" - possibly through World War III. Despite being in the financial sector that benefits from money printing, he surprisingly agrees with Powell's reluctance to cut rates, arguing money isn't actually tight despite higher interest rates.Sponsor: Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/julia 0:00 Welcome and introduction - Dr. Marc Faber returns to the show1:18 Big picture global economy - Asia bottomed out, mature economies turning down7:59 Asset price inflation and monetary policy - where money flows first13:37 Monetary Metals ad read15:23 The illusion of wealth - from millionaires to billionaires18:46 Housing affordability at lowest level ever in America23:21 US debt and deficit - "it will end badly" but when?24:50 How it ends badly - World War III is a possibility28:48 Ultra bearish on US dollar and all paper currencies32:12 Precious metals thesis - as long as liquidity remains plenty36:28 Cryptocurrencies - "will go up until it won't"38:26 Fed policy - agrees with Powell not to cut rates41:35 Real estate outlook - residential property "very vulnerable asset"45:11 Biggest risk and opportunity - everything will go down eventuallyLinks:The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report: https://www.gloomboomdoom.com

Kicking off our annual What the Hell's summer book series, Zach Cooper discusses his new book, Tides of Fortune: The Rise and Decline of Great Militaries (Yale University Press, 2025). How will the United States and China evolve militarily in the years ahead? Many experts believe the answer to this question is largely unknowable. But in his book, Zack Cooper argues that the American and Chinese militaries are following a well-trodden path. For centuries, the world's most powerful militaries have adhered to a remarkably consistent pattern of behavior, determined largely by their leaders' perceptions of relative power shifts. WTH is China on this path? And importantly, WTH is the US?Zack Cooper is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he studies US strategy in Asia, including alliance dynamics and US-China competition. He also teaches at Princeton University and serves as chair of the board of the Open Technology Fund. Before joining AEI, Dr. Cooper was the senior fellow for Asian security at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
