Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Over the past few days, Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has again proven he's impossible to ignore—either for his booming empire or his headline-making antics. According to Disney Dining and Inside the Magic, Beast Industries is gearing up for an ambitious new chapter, with MrBeast himself reportedly eyeing the launch of a Disney-rivaling theme park as part of his ongoing quest to build the world's next major entertainment conglomerate. After renting out Disneyland for a day last year—a move that generated one of his biggest viral hits—he's now flirting with the idea of building his own park from scratch, turning Beast Industries into what Bloomberg and company CEO Jeff Housenbold compare to the modern Disney, with MrBeast himself as its Mickey Mouse. The company is moving beyond YouTube stardom, expanding into food brands like Feastables and MrBeast Burger, and doubling down on scripted content and branded experiences—all while maintaining those eye-popping philanthropic giveaways, like planting 20 million trees and removing 30 million pounds of trash, that originally turned him into a global sensation.But this week, the bigger story is a firestorm—both literal and digital. On the evening of September 27, MrBeast dropped a video titled "Would You Risk Dying For $500,000?", where a professional stuntman, according to Tyla and The Economic Times, was subjected to a series of "death traps" including escaping a burning building, being fired out of a cannon into fire, and surviving explosions for the massive cash prize. The video immediately triggered backlash on social media, with critics drawing comparisons to "Squid Game" and "The Hunger Games" for its extreme, almost dystopian premise. Several X users and commentators, notably including a firefighter, called out the stunt for reckless endangerment. In response, MrBeast clarified that the entire setup was rigorously tested by professionals, the participant was a trained stuntman, and the crew had numerous safety measures, including fire suppression, ventilation, and a full emergency response team on standby. The video, nonetheless, racked up over 50 million views in days, cementing MrBeast's reputation for blending shock with spectacle—all while fueling debate about the ethics of influencer stunts.While this drama played out online, MrBeast's business machine kept rolling. His Amazon Prime series, Beast Games, was recently renewed for two more seasons, and according to Disney Dining, he's still pursuing a broader "cinematic universe" for his brand. There's even talk of future animation projects and video game platforms, as detailed in recent Bloomberg coverage. The only potential cloud on the horizon is legal: The Economic Times reminds us that MrBeast and Amazon are still facing lawsuits from contestants alleging unpaid wages, poor conditions, and even harassment during the filming of Beast Games—a lawsuit first filed in September 2024 that has yet to fully resolve.Looking back, the past 48 hours have shown MrBeast at both his most ambitious and controversial: a business visionary racing toward theme parks and empire-building, and a viral provocateur pushing the boundaries—sometimes dangerously—of what's acceptable for clicks.Thank you for tuning in to "Mr. Beast Biography Flash."

Mickey Mouse, Cendrillon, Simba, Mary Poppins, Bambi ou encore les Aristochats… Ces personnages ont marqué des générations de millions d'individus à travers le monde. Coup de projecteur aujourd'hui sur Disney, le mastodonte du divertissement, dont l'exposition du centenaire fait escale à Paris jusqu'au 26 octobre, après avoir déjà tourné à Londres, Munich ou encore Séoul. C'est un contrat de 1923 qui signe les débuts officiels de l'entreprise créée par un jeune américain de 22 ans, Walt Disney et son frère Roy. « Ce qui marque la naissance de la Walt Disney Company, c'est le contrat que Walt et son frère Roy signent avec une distributrice de dessin animé, Margaret J. Winkler, raconte Sébastien Durand, expert français de Disney, Elle commande une première série de dessins animés, à ce jeune homme qui y est allé au culot. Elle lui commande six premiers cartoons. Il signe le contrat et c'est le 16 octobre 1923, et ça marque les débuts de ce qui est aujourd'hui la Walt Disney Company ». Un document que l'on peut voir dans la première salle de l'exposition, non loin des premières esquisses de Mickey Mouse. La célébrissime souris prendra vie cinq ans plus tard, explique Sébastien Durand : « Le cinéma parlant était tout nouveau et venait d'être inventé l'année précédente avec le chanteur de jazz. Walt Disney va tout miser sur cette idée de "on va sonoriser Mickey". Il va mettre sa maison en gage, il va hypothéquer tout ça parce que ça passe ou ça casse. Il a une toute petite équipe pour faire Mickey. Et la question qui va très vite se poser, c'est : qui va faire la voix de Mickey ? » C'est Walt lui-même qui prêtera sa voix à la souris les premières années. Autant de détails que l'on apprend dans cette exposition du centenaire. Et notamment la philosophie du fondateur, et parmi l'un de ses grands principes. La règle d'or, c'est l'art du récit, comme l'explique Becky Kline à la tête des archives Disney : « Dans tout ce que l'on fait, que ce soit une croisière, une attraction d'un des parcs, un film, une série télévisée, tout repose sur l'histoire que l'on raconte. Et cela, quelle que soit la forme choisie, que ce soit l'animation traditionnelle, en 2D, ou par ordinateur ou un livre, puisque l'on édite aussi des livres. On raconte des histoires. » On pourrait citer d'autres règles d'airains, comme l'importance de la musique et des chansons, ou le goût pour l'innovation. On peut voir, parmi les quelque 250 pièces, costumes ou accessoires exposés à Paris, une caméra spécialement conçue pour le premier long métrage d'animation de l'histoire, Blanche neige et les sept nains, en 1937. « Ils créent une caméra que l'on appelle la caméra multiplane, qui permet de mettre les différents plans verticaux. Et la caméra va se rapprocher. Vous savez, dans Blanche Neige, au début, on est dans la forêt, on s'approche du château, les arbres deviennent flous… Donc, il y a toujours eu ce mélange de technologie au service de l'histoire chez Disney, dès les débuts », analyse Sébastien Durand. Casques de Star Wars, robe rouge de Cruella, ou cheval de manège de Mary Poppins, des objets iconiques figurent également en bonne place, participant à la magie Disney jamais démentie depuis un centenaire.

This episode of Red in 30 explores the tension between wants, needs, and true knowledge. It opens with vivid childhood memories—candy cravings, pizza parties, and overeating—as metaphors for how unchecked desires can make us sick. The point is clear: just because something feels good or looks appealing doesn't mean it's good for us. In the same way, spiritual teaching that feeds only our wants without shaping our needs leads to imbalance. God, like a wise parent, regulates what we can handle because He knows what will truly sustain us.The conversation presses into the danger of incomplete gospels and partial truths. Sometimes people are given just enough knowledge to be zealous but not enough to be whole, leaving them chasing illusions that never last. It's like building a house on sand—it may look solid for a moment but cannot endure. Identity, rooted in Christ as the rock, is the true foundation. Without that, even sincere effort and discipline can end in emptiness. The enemy often twists truth by offering “similar” versions that sound close enough but lack the life of God. If the foundation is wrong, everything crumbles.From there, the focus shifts to perspective. Modern culture prizes endless options and choices, but the higher call is to live from being chosen. Options often turn out to be optical illusions—like Mickey Mouse, not real in essence but made real by belief and attention. The danger is elevating choice over identity, chasing shadows instead of standing firm in being chosen by God. When life is built on that chosen foundation, storms can rage but stability remains. Faith rooted in identity isn't swayed by circumstances; it carries God's perspective into every environment like a thermostat, not a thermometer.The episode closes with a striking metaphor: the birdsong. Just as birds release sounds that open the pores of trees to take in more CO₂ and give out more oxygen, so too our voices carry unseen effects beyond intellect. Jesus' red words speak not just to our situations but to our wholeness, shaping us in ways we may not fully understand. Knowledge without Spirit is empty—like a placebo—while knowledge filled with Spirit animates and gives life. The challenge is to let our foundation, perspective, and identity be rooted in Christ, so that everything flowing from us carries His breath and presence into the world.

Kimmel was silenced by #ABC for his innoucous statements about #CharlieKirk. It is part of a pattern by #Trump #FCC head #BrandonCarr and the regime's efforts to silence dissent. They may have made #Kimmel more powerful than ever in the way that #StarWars #DarthVader freed #ObiWanKenobi power by striking him down. The guys also discuss the disturbing #hanging at #DeltaStateUniversity in #Mississippi where #TreyReed was found hanging from a tree. Police ruled it a suicide. Really??

Some houses don't need shattered windows or rotting staircases to be haunted. Sometimes, the most ordinary walls hide the darkest secrets. This true paranormal story comes from Lincoln Park, where one seemingly normal suburban home—nicknamed “Buckingham Palace”—harbored a haunting that would leave its mark forever. When Brittany was five, her family moved into the house. Her father painted her new room pink, filling the walls with hearts, Mickey Mouse sketches, and the family dog. He wanted it to feel safe. But safety was the one thing the house refused to offer. It began with whispers. A woman's voice, always calling the same name: “Brittany…” At first soft, then louder, until it screamed her name through the silence. Her parents brushed it off as imagination, but Brittany knew the voice came from inside the room—not outside. Then came the face. Enormous, distorted, hovering inches above her as she woke in the night. Not her mother. Not human. But smiling, as if to reassure her. Somehow, she didn't panic. She simply closed her eyes, praying it would be gone. The haunting wasn't just voices or visions. It touched her dreams—and her toys. One night she dreamed of her Barbie playset. The cat turned on her, eyes glowing red with jealousy, before stalking away. The next morning, the toy cat was gone. Never found again. As though the house itself had claimed it. Years later, in high school, Brittany finally learned the truth. Her father revealed that the previous owner had died by suicide—in her bedroom. The same room where the voices called, where the face loomed, where she felt watched every night. This wasn't imagination. This was intrusion. A haunting tied not to creaking floorboards, but to despair that never left the walls. And though her family eventually moved away, the memories—and the missing toy—remained. Because some houses never really let you go. #HauntedHouse #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #ParanormalEncounters #GhostStories #HauntedChildhood #CreepyTrueStories #Supernatural #ParanormalActivity #Haunted  #ScaryStory #TrueParanormal Love real ghost stories?

On this episode of The Children's Hour, junior producer and intern Thaniel Lentz takes us through the incredible history and science of animation. From early tools like the zoetrope and flipbooks to famous characters like Felix the Cat and Mickey Mouse, we learn how still pictures came to life.

In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Humpty Dumpty scornfully declares that, “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean.”So what does “woke” mean? It's become the pet political aspersion that today's kooky right-wing hucksters hurl at liberals, but the hurlers would be whopperjawed to learn that it's was actually coined by and for progressives! Indeed, it admonishes people to be awake to the dangers posed by hate-filled bigots and reactionaries like… well, like today's right-wing extremists.SURPRISING HISTORICAL TIDBIT: The first person reported to have used the word was Huddie Ledbetter, the legendary Black blues artist known as Lead Belly. Among his many classic songs was “Scottsboro Boys,” about nine Black teenagers falsely accused in 1931 of raping two Alabama white women. As a Black musician who traveled the backroads of the Jim Crow South, Lead Belly warned others to pay attention when in a viciously racist state: “Best stay woke,” he cautioned.But—out of blind ignorance, blind arrogance, or both—today's adaptors of the Jim Crow mentality have perverted common-sense wokeness into a verbal whip to lash African-Americans, immigrants, Democrats, women, LGBTQ+ people and all others they don't like (pretty much everyone who looks, thinks, prays and acts different from them). How kooky? They've declared librarians, science, Mickey Mouse, and Bud Light to be their evil enemies. “Don't be woke,” they bark, demanding autocratic, plutocratic, and theocratic laws to coerce compliance with their own retrogressive bigotries.This is Jim Hightower saying… Bear in mind that this is no longer a fringe cult, but the mainstream of the Republican Party, including its top congressional leaders, presidential wannabes, and state officials. Actually, you can easily comprehend what these Humpty-Dumpties really mean by their “Don't Be Woke” war cry. Just substitute the word “sane” for “woke.”Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

So if you need a new ebook this fall, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 266 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller and today is August 29th, 2025, and today we are considering if theme parks are like writing. Before we get into this topic, we'll have Coupon of the Week and then a progress update on my current writing projects. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Dragontiarna series at my Payhip store, and that coupon code is FALLDRAGON25. And as always, we'll have the coupon code and links in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code is only valid through September 8, 2025. That's only one week, so if you want to use it, act now. And if you need a new ebook for fall, we have got you covered. Now an update on my current writing projects. I am 63,000 words into Blade of Flames, the first book in my new epic fantasy Blades of Ruin series, and I think 63,000 words puts me about almost two thirds of the way through. I think the book will end up being between 90,000 and 100,000 words, so hopefully we are on track to have that out before the end of September. I'm also 5,000 words into Cloak of Worlds, which will be the 13th book in the Cloak Mage series. And if all goes well, I think that will probably be out in October, towards the end of October, maybe a Halloween book. In audiobook news, recording is still underway for Shield of Power (that will be excellently narrated by Brad Wills); we're coming up on the end of that, so should have some good news on that before too much longer. Recording is underway for Ghost in the Siege, and that will be excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy. So that is where I am at with my current writing and audiobook projects. Some good progress this week. 00:01:53 Main Topic: What Epic Universe Can Teach Us About Creating Memorable Characters Now on to our main topic this week: are theme parks like writing and what theme parks can teach us about creating memorable characters and settings. I have to admit, this is an unusual topic for me because I am not really a theme park person. I have several family members who are interested in the history of Disney Corporation, so I've picked up some through osmosis, but that's essentially it. This topic was suggested by my podcast transcriptionist, and it was an interesting idea, so I thought we would go with it. I don't really know all that much about theme parks. As I mentioned, I'm not really in the target audience and I'm not in the sort of demographic where I would watch, for example, someone's four hour live stream through the latest Disney attraction or whatever. Though I did watch the video that Jenny Nicholson put out last summer about her experience with the Star Wars “hotel”, and I think that was interesting as a piece of essentially documentary journalism depicting a tale of sort of corporate greed and cost cutting and how that can lead to inevitable failure. But that is a bit of a tangent from our main topic, which is whether or not writers can learn anything from theme parks. I did pick up enough through osmosis from the history of Disney to know that in the early days before the Disney Corporation became as sort of corporatized and cost cutting as is now, that when they built a new attraction, the attraction had to be able to tell a story, like there was some sort of a story that needed to be told or an essential narrative that needed to be followed through the layout of the attraction so the guests, if they were paying attention, would be told a story. So apparently the big news in the theme park universe this year is that Universal opened a new theme park called Universal Epic Universe in Florida in May 2025. The park is built on a central hub, which then divides out into five intellectual property based lands like Super Nintendo World with all of the Mario characters. What's interesting is that two of the five lands in the theme park are directly based on content that began as book series, the How to Train Your Island- Isle of Berk (which was originally written by Cressida Cowell) and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the Ministry of Magic, which was originally written by J.K. Rowling. One other land, The Dark Universe, draws heavily on the Frankenstein story, which was originally written by Mary Shelley (among other creatures like Dracula, who as a character originated in Bram Stoker's novel in the 19th century). Now, what does this have to do with writing? I mean, for most writers, the idea of becoming popular enough that people build theme parks based on your characters is probably a bit unrealistic as a career goal. However, I think there are lessons that can be learned there for writers about holding the interest and compelling readers. All three of the intellectual properties we discussed previously were more often known for their movie adaptations than the books they were originally based upon. But we can learn what makes memorable characters and settings in the book series and how a theme park would draw upon a beloved book series to generate ticket, merchandise, and food sales. I think it is both fair to say and a profound understatement that books, movies, and theme parks are wildly different kinds of art forms. However, the fundamental principles of storytelling, of world building do seem to apply across all three. So let's take a look at some of those principles. Part I: Creating Fictional Worlds Memorably People like distinct and creative worlds that make them feel immersed in something beyond mundane reality, even if that reality is not safe, easy, or pleasant. In all three stories that inspire these theme parks, the main character faces something that no one has before. Harry Potter readers can imagine that they're an owl delivery letter away from arriving at a new school full of friends, magic, and danger. How to Train Your Dragon lets readers soar through the air while rescuing a lovable dragon from a dark fate. Dragon riders are considered to be a special group of people in this world. Frankenstein allows us to imagine a world where humans are powerful enough to have power over life and death itself, though in the grand tradition of science fiction and horror, this always goes horribly wrong. After all, creating an artificial life form did not end particularly well for Victor Frankenstein in the first book. And where this comes into theme parks is that readers want to find a way to be included in the fictional world. In Harry Potter, readers can imagine which house they're sorted into based on personality traits. By choosing a house in the Hogwarts school or magic wands whose components reflect their personalities, they feel more included in the story because they know where they would belong in it. Many, many, many young adult series since then have tried to include some sort of factions or special lands or organizations in their stories for this reason, but it never seems to land quite as well as it did in the Harry Potter series. Though to be honest, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry seems like it would be immediately shut down if any sort of educational authority or ministry of education or department of education ever investigated it because it (laughs) is not a well-run school. In How to Train Your Dragon, dangerous dragons are not only faced, they're befriended and protected. Something frightening becomes a chance to feel powerful and help others. And readers often enjoy reading about dark creatures or villains like Frankenstein's monster because it makes the real world seem more secure or stable by comparison or because they feel like misfits or outcasts and can sympathize with these characters. Now, for writers, specific world building details often are very distinct things that readers remember, sometimes even more than the plot. For myself, that's worked advantageously with several of my different settings where some of the distinct details of the Cloak Games settings or the Half-Elven Thief settings stick in people's minds. For the examples we're talking about here, some readers might remember a biting textbook, a flying broomstick, or what's on the Hogwarts banquet table more than they remember the plots of the individual Harry Potter movies or books. Now for the theme parks, Universal Studios capitalizes on this and makes money by creating merchandise and food items from those moments in the books, and they give visitors an opportunity to buy a nice cold glass of Butterbeer or a t-shirt from their Hogwarts house. And that feels more special than buying a pair of, for example, Mickey Mouse ears because they have a preexisting connection with Harry Potter, and though it's extremely unlikely that any of us will end up owning a theme park, as writers, don't be afraid of adding details like that, very specific details like that to the world building because it does help create a distinctive atmosphere and help the readers connect with the story. Part II: Investing Audiences in Your Characters Now onto part two, investing audiences in your characters. It's a good idea to find a way to make the readers root for your characters. Harry Potter and Toothless the dragon both begin as scrawny, unloved, and unimpressive, but they rise in the face of danger to become brave and important. When characters team up in a structured way, such as Dumbledore's Army or the creation of the Berk Training Academy, it gives the readers a chance to imagine how they could join the main characters and be part of the group. It's also important to remember a character doesn't have to be likable to be memorable, though obviously this often works better for villains. For example, Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter is a very memorable character, even though she's totally unsympathetic and unlikable because she represents a sort of bureaucratic, pettiness, and evil that we inevitably all have to deal with at some point in our lives, whether in school or dealing with various bureaucracies (whether government or corporate) as we get older. Frankenstein's creature likewise isn't always likable, though he is sympathetic because he didn't ask to be created. His creator mistreated him. He tried to fit into human society and totally failed. So while he does many morally reprehensible things like for example, murdering Victor Frankenstein's bride to be, nonetheless he retains an element of sympathy because if he's a monster, it's because Victor Frankenstein created him to be a monster. Even when his decisions aren't ideal or are quite bad, his loneliness and curiosity are still deeply relatable. Part III: Adapting To Grow With Your Audience Now, Part III, adapting to grow with your audience/adding new characters to an existing world or an interconnected series. Don't be afraid to age up your characters and change them across a series. In Harry Potter and How to Train Your Dragons, the characters age through series and face new and more complex challenges. Watching characters change is a great way to make them feel more lifelike and give them new complexities. I was reminded of that very recently with the publication of Ghost in the Siege, where I believe that is the 34th novel with Caina as the main character. Obviously she has changed and grown quite a bit since that first book all those years ago and some part of the plot was Caina coming to terms with how much she's changed and how much she's changed as a result of what she's had to do to save people she cares about, which is kind of an interesting comparison to the fact that I found it a bit challenging to write the book just because Caina has changed so much from her original start in trying to find a way to write that while remaining true to the character. Given how well the book has been received (thanks, everyone!), I think I might have landed on the mark for that one. If you want to continue in the world and write another series in the world, it's usually a good idea to include some carryover characters between the series. I've done that a lot with Frostborn, Sevenfold Sword, Dragontiarna, Dragonskull, and Shield War, where some characters continue over between the series. In the theme park, for example, in the Dark Universe, Dr. Victoria Frankenstein continues the work of her ancestor, Victor Frankenstein. That can also help to remind readers why they like the series so much by bringing back favorite characters. Returning to favorite locations in the series is a way to keep fans engaged, as long as it makes sense or fits the story. Give your books emotionally satisfying, not necessarily happy conclusions. Give them a chance to say goodbye to characters in places they've come to care about. Remember, the ending doesn't have to be happy. It doesn't have to be sad. It can be a bit of both. But what is important above all else is that the ending provides emotional resolution to the emotional conflicts and stakes raised within the story. Anything else and the readers will feel cheated. And now the conclusion. Fortunately, your readers won't have to wait in line for two hours to experience your characters the way that Epic Universe visitors must. But it's a testament to strong writing that people are willing to pay very large sums of money to do that, especially in Florida where the heat and the extreme humidity are constant, especially in summer. It's proof that well-developed settings, memorable characters, and immersive plots are important to readers and go a long way. Although you and I will probably not ever be theme park owners and I do not plan to ever go to Florida and go to Epic Universe, you can learn from how they build and maintain the relationship between their intellectual properties and their paying guests. Remember that you want compelling characters, a good story, and a satisfying conclusion. So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show.

We all know what happened to the sorcerer's apprentice, right?Mickey Mouse got hold of a spell book before he was smart enough to use it, conjured a broom that just wouldn't quit, and nearly got sucked into a whirlpool. Yet, tragically, no one can remember what the moral of this story was supposed to be!This week we batten down the hatches in preparation for the #slopwave – at least, that was the plan a couple of months ago when we first started worrying about the volume of mass-produced AI gibberish coming down the pipes. Now it kinda feels too late? Like microplastics in the brain, we're already compromised.Still, we start by tackling the current wave of AI slop infiltrating country music, the lo-fi beat scene, City Pop and faux-vintage soul before turning to deeper conundrums about AI-generated art. Could an AI music app like Suno ever produce a hit? Is Suno really so much worse than using a loop library like Splice? And will AI ever create anything as meaningful as Mr Blobby? These questions and more on a slopulent edition of No Tags.We're not pretending to be experts here – just listen to that new No Tags theme song for proof! – so we'd love to hear from people who either work in AI or operate in a field that's started to feel the slop. If that's you, drop us an email or a comment. Get full access to No Tags at notagspodcast.substack.com/subscribe

Meanwhile, Putin is heaping praise on Trump ahead of their encounter, and suggesting the talks could yield a new deal on nuclear arms control. Later in the show—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sends a message encouraging the citizens of Iran to take back control of their country, offering to help solve the nation's rapidly intensifying water crisis, but only if the Islamic regime's ruling clerics are booted from power.  Plus—we'll have the latest on President Trump's war against global drug traffickers, as Mexico agrees to extradite 26 high-ranking cartel leaders to the United States. In our 'Back of the Brief—a look at how Hamas radicalized an entire generation of kids in Gaza using a disturbing TV show featuring a jihadi Mickey Mouse lookalike and an antisemitic bunny.

Join us: https://www.patreon.com/c/unlockingthemagicWelcome back to Unlocking the Magic! Today we're stepping away from the parks and heading to a place that's just as magical in a quieter, more personal way. We're talking about the Walt Disney Family Museum, a hidden gem that every true Disney fan needs to experience at least once.In this episode, we are going on an inspiring journey through the museum,.  a place that goes far beyond memorabilia and instead unlocking the man behind the magic.This museum isn't just a timeline of Walt's life it's his daughter Diane's love letter to her father. It's designed to show us the person Walt was before the suits and the success. And it does exactly that.The museum walks you through Walt's life in a way that feels almost like flipping through a family scrapbook from his childhood  to his days as a struggling animator, to the moment Mickey Mouse changed everything.  It's filled with the voice of Walt himself, rare family photos, hand-drawn sketches, and heartfelt letters that give you an unfiltered view into who he really was: a dreamer, a doer, and someone who never stopped pushing boundaries.
