Die landbouministerie se uitvoerende direkteur Ndiyakupi Nghituwamata, is in Nice, Frankryk by die VN se Oseaneberaad. Sy het, onder andere, 'n oorsig gegee van Namibië se vordering in sy raamwerk vir oorgrens watersamewerking en het melding gemaak van die Okavango- en Orange-Senqu-rivierkomme.

Reconnaissance Energy Africa CEO Brian Reinsborough joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant milestone: the company has entered into a joint exploration agreement with Angola's National Oil, Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANPG). This agreement marks the launch of a collaborative exploration project in the under-explored Etosha-Okavango Basin, located onshore in southeastern Angola. Reinsborough emphasized the strategic value of this addition to ReconAfrica's asset portfolio, describing it as a rare opportunity to gain early entry into Angola's onshore oil and gas sector at a low cost and with minimal work commitments. This move further complements the company's existing operations in neighboring Namibia and underscores the broader exploration potential of the Damara Fold Belt and Rift Basin systems. The agreement adds 5.2 million acres in Angola to ReconAfrica's current 6.3 million acres in Namibia, significantly expanding its footprint across one of the most promising frontier basins in southern Africa. The company's working interest in the new area will be 80%, with Angola's state-owned oil company Sonangol holding the remaining 20%. ReconAfrica will hold exclusive rights over the acreage during the term of the memorandum of understanding (MOU). Over the next 24 months, ReconAfrica plans to conduct a series of geological and geophysical studies, including a regional oil and gas seep survey, 2D seismic data acquisition, and comprehensive geochemical sampling and analysis. These efforts are aimed at identifying viable exploration targets and de-risking future drilling prospects. In parallel, ReconAfrica is preparing to drill its largest target to date—Prospect I—onshore Namibia, located just 47 kilometers from the newly acquired MOU area in Angola. The prospect is estimated to contain 365 million barrels of unrisked and 32 million barrels of risked prospective light to medium oil resources. This expansion into Angola signals ReconAfrica's continued commitment to unlocking the hydrocarbon potential of southern Africa, building a strong foundation for long-term growth through disciplined exploration and strategic partnerships. #proactiveinvestors #reconnaissanceenergyafricaltd #tsxv #reco #otcqx #recaf #NamibiaOil #ProspectI #OilExploration #AngolaOil #NamibiaOil #EnergyInvesting #OilAndGas #AfricanEnergy #UpstreamOil #BrianReinsborough #ProactiveInvestors

Sedert 2018 het die opvangsgebied van die Cubango/Okavango-riviere in Angola en Namibië 'n verskuiwing van bestaans- na inkomste-gebaseerde aktiwiteite gesien, met toenemende beleggings in landbou, mynbou en stedelike ondernemings. Stedelike sentrums, veral langs groot paaie, het vinnig gegroei, terwyl baie landelike gebiede min of geen groei gesien het nie. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met die top-wetenskaplike en navorser in Namibië, dr. John Mendelsohn, gepraat. Hy het ondersoek na die stand van sake gedoen en ‘n verslag voorberei. Die grootste trekpleister is die gratis grond en water, meen hy.

Die watervlak van die Okavango-rivier by Rundu het met die laaste meting 5,78 meter bereik, effens laer as die vorige 5,82 meter, maar steeds hoër as die 5,15 meter op dieselfde tyd verlede jaar. Dit kom na die rivier die meeste van die somer laer as gewoonlik was. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met Mark Paxton van Shamvura Kamp op die rivier se oewer, oor die situasie by lodges na aan die rivier.

Recorded under the starry expanse of the Okavango Delta at Gomoti Plains Lodge in Botswana, this audio captures a rare and mesmerizing moment of cultural and natural heritage. Gathered around a crackling fire, the lodge's staff performs traditional songs for their guests passed down through generations of Bushmen and Okavango communities.  Their voices rise and fall in harmony, interwoven with the ambient sounds of firewood crackling and the symphony of the delta's nocturnal wildlife. I feel that this audio is a living tapestry of human and natural connection—a heartfelt tribute to the Okavango's unique cultural and sonic heritage.  UNESCO listing: Okavango Delta Recorded by Christina Antoniadou. ——————— This sound is part of the Sonic Heritage project, exploring the sounds of the world's most famous sights.

El Delta de Okavango, el Parque Nacional del Río Chobe o el gran desierto del Kalahari son algunos de los parajes más destacados del país africano. 

Die goewerneur van die Kavango-Oos-streek, Bonifatius Wakudumo, sê die onlangse swaar reën in die streek is tot groot voordeel van saaiboerdery asook die Okavangorivier, wat sterker vloei. Die rivier is van kardinale belang vir inwoners van beide Kavango Oos en Wes vir boerdery en visvang, wat hul inkomste verhoog. Terwyl hy met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gepraat het, het hy die publiek gewaarsku om versigtig te wees naby die rivier, want die hoër watervlakke lok ook gevaarlike diere soos krokodille en seekoeie.

Die goeie reënval het nie net damvlakke aansienlik verbeter nie, maar riviere soos die Zambezi en Okavango het ook verhoogde watervlakke aangeteken. Daar is egter uitdagings, veral die aanhoudende kwessie van onwettige visvang in die noordoostelike riviere. Ten spyte van veelvuldige waarskuwings van die Namibiese polisie in die Zambezi-streek, gaan onwettige visvang, veral snags met behulp van nette, onverpoosd voort weens beperkte wetstoepassingskapasiteit. Mark Paxton van Shamvura-kamp aan die Okavangorivier, het aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gesê die kwessie is die afgelope 10 tot 15 jaar al onveranderd en daar word niks aan gedoen deur die owerhede nie.

Episode 190 of The Adventure Podcast features conservationist and National Geographic Explorer, Dr Steve Boyes. Steve is the driving force behind the Okavango Wilderness Project, working to protect Africa's wild rivers and wetlands. He's spent years uncovering new species, exploring uncharted ecosystems, and partnering with local communities to keep these landscapes thriving. Steve is also a cancer survivor, a devoted dad, and a natural storyteller. In this episode, Steve gives an insight into his life as an explorer and his approach to conservation. He talks about uncovering new species and massive ecological systems, and how to work closely with local communities to drive real, lasting conservation. He opens up to Matt about how nature shaped him, and how surviving cancer changed his perspective. Through it all, Steve champions the idea of reconnecting with nature, using storytelling to make science matter, and staying hopeful about humanity's ability to turn things around for the planet.Photographer credit: Karabo MoilwaSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-adventure-podcast.

In dieser Folge tauchen wir ein in das Okavango Delta, eines der größten Binnendeltas der Welt und ein echtes Naturwunder inmitten der Kalahari-Wüste.

In this engaging conversation, David Bernardo Santo and Brad Bestelink, together explore the profound connections between humans and nature, emphasizing the importance of wildlife experiences for mental health and personal growth. Brad, a four time Emmy Award winnner shares his unique upbringing in the Okavango, the challenges of urban life, and the emotional roller coaster of wildlife filmmaking. They discuss the lessons learned from animals, the impact of climate change, and the need for a reconnection with nature to combat modern disconnection and mental health issues. Hope you enjoy the conversation!

Onwettige visvang in die noordoostelike riviere van die Zambezi- en Okavango-streke is 'n groot uitdaging. Die Namibiese polisie in die Zambezi-streek het verskeie waarskuwings uitgereik teen onwettige visvang deur beide buitelanders en Namibiërs. Die vissermanne vang nou snags met nette vis en die regering het nie die vermoë om die misdaad te bekamp nie. Vissermanne is ook gewapen en word al hoe gevaarliker. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met Mark Paxton van Shamvura-kamp by die Okavangorivier, wat sê die situasie het nie verander nie en nette is oral beskikbaar.

On this episode, we're diving into the extraordinary Great Spine of Africa project, a daring set of expeditions under The Wilderness Project, founded by Dr. Steve Boyes. Our special guest is Johan van der Westhuizen, a private pilot, expedition manager, and researcher who takes us behind the scenes of life on expedition. From dodging hippos to navigating some of Africa's most remote landscapes, and even the occasional (and temporary!) loss of team members. The Great Spine of Africa project is focused on protecting, researching, and exploring over 1.2 million square kilometres of African wilderness, with a particular emphasis on documenting the sources and watersheds of Africa's mightiest river basins, including the Zambezi, Congo, and Okavango. Johan will share his incredible experiences working with the team in these remote and pristine environments.To learn more about their work and support The Wilderness Project, visit www.thewildernessproject.org.

Nuestro planeta está definido por paisajes deslumbrantes y fascinantes; sin embargo, gran parte de estos paisajes permanecen ocultos e inaccesibles para la mayoría de nosotros. Sólo a vista de pájaro, desde lo alto, podemos contemplar imponentes cadenas montañosas, vastos bosques o desiertos interminables en todo su esplendor, y apreciar verdaderamente los detalles individuales y los elementos que conforman el todo. Drones, helicópteros y globos revelan vistas espectaculares de los grandes glaciares de los Alpes europeos, las selvas tropicales de Borneo, las escarpadas cadenas montañosas kársticas de China, las extensas praderas de Mongolia, los enormes bosques de Laponia y los amplios deltas de ríos como el Okavango y el Nilo, desde de cerca y de lejos. La vista desde arriba nos permite comprender mejor los sistemas y conexiones biológicos y ecológicos y descubrir tesoros escondidos u oscurecidos por una naturaleza en gran medida intacta: tesoros como los ratones de las nieves que crían a sus crías cerca de los últimos grandes glaciares que quedan en los Alpes, o los arrugados. murciélagos de labios que viven en cuevas subterráneas en el corazón de las selvas de Borneo y atraen la atención de los cálaos orientales y del águila halcón de Wallace. Luego están los gibones de cresta negra orientales que se han retirado a refugios en las distintivas colinas y paredes rocosas de las singulares montañas kársticas de China. Todas estas maravillas naturales y más a menudo están ocultas a la vista humana, pero se pueden contemplar desde arriba. El comportamiento no obvio como arquitectos de termitas y elefantes en el vasto delta del Okavango en Botswana, cuna del Nilo Azul en las montañas etíopes de la Mesa Simien, donde las geladas mantienen sus territorios en las laderas más pronunciadas. O las dunas de Lençóis en Brasil, un paisaje costero que se transforma radicalmente por los ciclos estacionales. Si están inundados o yacen secos, es un desierto mágico, con ola tras ola de arena blanca reluciente. La perspectiva a vista de pájaro también revela la complejidad de las migraciones masivas, incluidas las de las grandes manadas de renos que abandonan sus hogares invernales en los bosques de Laponia y se dirigen a la costa según la disponibilidad estacional de alimentos, o las de miles de gacelas mongolas que viajan a los exuberantes pastos verdes cada año para dar a luz a sus crías. Toda la complejidad y majestuosidad de nuestro planeta sólo se revela desde una altura que con demasiada frecuencia es inaccesible para los humanos, hasta ahora.

El delta del Okavango alberga más fauna que cualquier otro humedal de la tierra y experimenta uno de los cambios estacionales más bruscos del planeta. A través del año y de las adversidades veremos como se entrelazan los destinos y se forjan las relaciones no sólo entre las familias sino también entre las diferentes especies que habitan este impresionante y único ecosistema.

Die kabinet het reeds op 27 Februarie die projek, om water van die Okavangorivier na die Berg Aukas-stelsel toe te pomp, goedgekeur. Die plan is reeds sedert 1974 deel van die sogenaamde Meesterplan vir watervoorsiening in die sentrale gebied, veral nou, met die erge droogte, maar, dit sal tot sewe jaar neem, en 7 miljard Namibiese dollar neem voor dit voltooi is. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met NamWater se uitvoerende hoof, Abraham Nehemia gepraat.

Scientists face any number of challenges when they venture into the field, but it's not often that aggressive hippos are among them. The researchers conducting annual expeditions in the Okavango Delta in Southern Africa, as part of the Okavango Wilderness Project, risk life and limb to collect the environmental data that will be used to protect this wild place.Additional Resources:Wild Bird Trust - OWPNational Geographic - OWPGuardians of the River Podcast“Into the Okavango” Film“Nkashi: Race for the Okavango” FilmFollow In-Situ on social media for updates on podcasts, success stories, product launches and more.LinkedIn | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube We want to hear from you!

El agua dulce es el alma del planeta Tierra y el escenario de extraordinarios dramas animales. En el corazón de la selva tropical de Costa Rica, se desarrolla un espectáculo poco conocido sobre un estanque muy especial. Hasta diez mil ranas arbóreas planeadoras, la reunión de este tipo más grande conocida en el mundo, descienden del dosel para el evento de reproducción más importante del año. Sólo durará un día, y como los machos superan en número a las hembras nueve a uno, la competencia es feroz. Esta es una fiesta a la que no querrás llegar tarde. Mientras tanto, en Sri Lanka, a medida que la estación seca alcanza su punto máximo, el último pozo de agua que queda en kilómetros a la redonda se convierte en un imán para un animal diferente: los cocodrilos asaltantes. Gigantes de hasta cinco metros de largo acechan bajo la superficie, esperando pacientemente a que los sedientos ciervos chital se acerquen al pozo de agua para beber. Pero atrapar a sus presas no es tarea fácil y requiere que hagan algo extraordinario. No documentados en ningún otro lugar, estos astutos cocodrilos han aprendido a explotar la necesidad de agua dulce de sus presas creando trampas. Ubicados entre nenúfares en flor, los polluelos recién nacidos aprenden una lección vital: cómo “caminar sobre el agua”. Sus pies de gran tamaño (casi el doble de la longitud de su cuerpo) hacen que su comienzo sea difícil, pero su dedicado padre hará todo lo necesario para mantenerlos a salvo durante la etapa más vulnerable de su vida. Uno de los mayores desafíos de vivir en un mundo de agua dulce es su naturaleza dinámica. Puede aparecer, desaparecer o transformarse rápidamente. La supervivencia en estos entornos dinámicos depende de la adaptación. En el delta del Okavango, la llegada de la gran inundación anual supone un importante desafío para una jauría de cinco perros salvajes africanos. En tierra firme, son uno de los cazadores más exitosos del continente, pero a medida que sus zonas de caza se convierten en pantanos, deben encontrar una manera innovadora de dominar este mundo acuático.

Back to the Dark Continent... This episode is raw and unedited, just as we recorded it beside a campfire along the Okavango river late one night, with lions roaring and elephants trumpeting in the background.  On the second half of our fall 2023 safari with Kowas Adventure Safaris in Namibia, my daughter Audrey shot a wonderful old kudu bull and a gnarly-horned impala. Then Austin Brown and I broke out the big-bore dangerous game rifles to hunt cape buffalo. We tracked old bachelor bull groups through the days in heat up to 102 degrees Fahrenheit, in ankle-deep sand, and shot three massive old bulls.  This episode is all about the stories, folks!  The episode wraps up with a discussion of African conservation challenges and the future, including a hard, honest look at the cow elephant herds moving into the historic Caprivi Strip region and decimating the habitat.  Experiences like this only happen once in a lifetime, and we hope you enjoy the stories...    If you're interested in following in our tracks and going on safari with a truely exceptional operator in Namibia—family owned, operated, and oriented—check out Kowas Adventure Safaris.      FRIENDS, PLEASE SUPPORT THE PODCAST!  Join the Backcountry Hunting Podcast tribe and get access to all our bonus material on www.patreon.com/backcountry VISIT OUR SPONSORS HERE:  www.browning.com www.barnesbullets.com www.timneytriggers.com www.leupold.com www.onxmaps.com www.silencercentral.com https://www.portersfirearms.com/ www.gunwerks.com www.siembidacustomknives.com https://javelinbipod.com

Chasing Tigers in the Okavango by Radio Islam

This soundcape was recorded on February 2023 at Little Machaba Safaris Lodge at the banks of river Kwai, at the vast area of the Delta of Okavango in Botswana. Imagine this: you find yourself nestled in the heart of the wilderness, surrounded by a symphony of sounds. Frogs croaking in perfect harmony, birds chirping their melodic tunes, and insects buzzing away. Ah, bliss! And as if that wasn't enough, you can even hear the gentle pitter-patter of raindrops, adding to the enchanting soundscape.  Recorded by Soundquest/Christina Antoniadou.

Truth is, I don't really hate baboons. But I do dislike them. Quite a lot. And I just want them to stay away from me while I'm camping. But this run-in with them many years ago was not the first, but makes one of my best bush campfire stories. It took place in the Okavango when Gwynn and I ran Delta Camp (Tau Camp) and forms part of Torn Trousers, our bestselling memoir. ANDREW'S AWARD-WINNING MEMOIR: http://bit.ly/Torn_Trousers

Jomi and Hadley go to the renowned Chitabe, whose reputation as one of the top camps in one of the most productive parts of the Okavango does not disappoint one bit as predators show up in numbers. They include a cheetah mother with SIX cubs, a young leopard trying not to drop its impala meal and four lions that try to ruin the leopard's day.

Episode 236: Tony Turton was exposed to the Kalahari as a small boy, where he observed the flow of water from the Okavango into a desert. He later served as a soldier fighting a war in the upper Okavango basin. He then became a peacemaker and scientist, writing about the Okavango. He holds a professorship in environmental management at the University of Free State and served as a Deputy Governor of the World Water Council, but his core skills are about water as a national security risk. Today he works with scientists, engineers and mathematicians, developing AI and ML systems for complex industrial fluids.

La historia de la llegada milagrosa del agua a nuestro planeta y su papel potencial en la supervivencia y diversión de una manada de elefantes. En el delta del Okavango de Botswana, la estación seca envía a una familia de elefantes en su migración anual. Están en busca de agua, un regalo cósmico, entregado por asteroides, que transformó nuestro planeta en el único refugio para la vida que conocemos.

El programa de hoy está dedicado monográficamente al Nilo, uno de los ríos más importantes de la historia de la humanidad. Estuve en Egipto recientemente y me quedé totalmente prendado del Nilo, así que hoy aprovechamos para explicar por qué es un río tan especial, por qué fue (y es) fundamental para la sociedad egipcia y cómo la ciencia nos ayuda a entender esas características únicas. Hoy miramos a Egipto con unos ojos que combinan historia, economía, geografía y ciencias de la Tierra :) Si os interesan los ríos un poco inusuales, África tiene otro bien interesante: el Okavango, en Botswana. Es uno de los pocos grandes ríos de la Tierra que genera un delta en el interior del continente, y en ese delta muere el río, sin llegar nunca al océano. Hablamos sobre él en nuestro pódcast hermano, La Brújula de la Ciencia, en el episodio s11e27. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 27 de octubre de 2022.

Die letzte unserer 3 Wochen in Afrika haben wir in Botswana verbracht und zwar im faszinierenden Okavango Delta. Allein die Anreise war abenteuerlich, denn von Maun sind wir mit einer kleinen Propellermaschine mit zwei Zwischenlandungen weiter in unser Camp geflogen. Bereits aus dem Flugzeug konnten wir zahlreiche Elefanten entdecken, während sich unter uns ein riesiges Netz aus Trampelwegen ausbreitete. An der Landebahn begrüßte uns Bernie, unser Guide für unsere Zeit im Delta. Das Besondere: Wir hatten uns nicht irgendein Camp im Okavango ausgesucht, sondern das Camp Macatoo, das Zuhause von über 50 Pferden. Statt im Geländewagen oder zu Fuß, haben wir das Delta vom Sattel aus erkundet. Dabei hat uns Bernie nicht nur nah an Elefanten geführt, sondern ist mit uns auch durch die Fluten galoppiert – ein unglaubliches Erlebnis. Insgesamt 5 Nächte haben wir hier verbracht, sind stundenlang durch die Wildnis geritten und unzähligen Tieren begegnet. In dieser Folge nehmen wir dich mit auf Reitsafari ins Okavango Delta und begeben uns gemeinsam mit dir auf die Suche nach Elefanten, Giraffen, Büffeln, Leoparden und Co.!

This week on the Tub Talks podcast, we take to the baths with Mia Maestro, who hosts many of the tea ceremonies held over the years at Secular Sabbath in between her full-time acting career. While she has always been a lover of tea, her journey really started over a decade ago when she was surprised to find a deeper practice in the art of tea meditation. This philosophy of slowing down to regain focus, or set a new tone in one's body, has trickled into many facets of her life. Especially in both her career as an actress and her intense work in activism.Mia shares what it was like growing up in Argentina during an age of terrorism, where she lived through an inverse world to the one she has created for herself today. Acting has always been a part of her life, launching her big screen career as a teenager in Tango. Even as a  little girl, acting was a means to play, and take on new personas. As an adult, she's learned to develop empathy, process emotions, and open a space for healing through acting. Bringing tea ceremony her ritual has opened a portal to explore deeper connections to her childhood self.Mia acts in mainstream and arthouse films, serves tea to prisoners with life sentences in jail, and goes deep into the bush in Africa to shine a light in the shadows of our world. At the heart of it all, Mia consistently uses tea as a tool to connect people, reset focus within, and create an ephemeral space for deep states of inspiration. But, not all tea is the same which Mia explains, and it carries with it an energy force able to brighten your perception and awaken your mind, depending on the leaf. The energetics that comes with tea practice shape how she lives in ‘flow state.'Full of knowledge and tokens of wisdom, Mia takes us on a contemplative conversation going beyond tea as a means of consumption, exploring how she brings her practice to work. So get the kettle hot and share a cup with us, as we explore Mia's world of setting intention and finding the purest form of self-expression in everyday life.

This around-the-campfire episode details three proper backcountry hunts for big Kudu bulls, and two nail-biting hunts in Namibia's historic Caprivi region along the Okavango River for massive, ancient Cape buffalo bulls.  Adam Weatherby, Rob Gearing, Austin Brown, host Joseph von Benedikt, and PH Jacques Strauss dig deep into what worked, what didn't, and how to re-group and sort out a problem when it occurs. And of course we tell the stories of each of the tremendous animals taken, from the butt-puckering stalks on buffalo to the challenge of glassing and getting on a mountain-country Kudu bull.  African conservation success stories and meat-providing processes are part and parcel of the discussion, and in truth provide some of the most passionate elements. Eating the "Poop Chute" and Buffalo balls as a pre-dinner delicacy come into play, too.  And of course, there's plenty of rifle, optic, cartridge, and bullet performance discussion, too.  ENJOY!  FRIENDS, PLEASE SUPPORT THE PODCAST!  Join the Backcountry Hunting Podcast tribe and get access to all our bonus material on www.patreon.com/backcountry VISIT OUR SPONSORS HERE:  www.browning.com www.leupold.com www.silencercentral.com www.timneytriggers.com https://www.portersfirearms.com/ www.siembidacustomknives.com https://javelinbipod.com

This week, we're back at Vumbura Plains talking about the second game drive we went on in this slice of safari paradise. Seeing various nocturnal animals by day, another elephant carcass, tracking lions through channels from one island to the next, and an incredible sighting of a predator stalking some very large prey to cap off the drive: this is another action-packed episode from the heart of the Okavango.

Welcome to episode number 4 of GUIDE STORIES. This episode we're going to explore an area of Botswana that is a little less known to many visitors to this country. Amongst thousands and thousands of square km's of flat Kalahari desert you will find two Unesco World Heritage sites. The iconic Okavango Delta and the Tsodilo Hills. We spent the day with a local guide by the name of Lopang Mojanga. His family were descendants of the river bushman who settled in the area thousands of years ago travelling down the nearby Kavango river which leads into the Okavango. Other than being the pinnacle point of Botswana towering over 400meters above the Kalahari desert, Tsodilo Hills are an incredibly significant cultural site. Home to some of the highest concentrations of ancient rock art in the world. In this episode we'll document our trip hiking up to the top of the highest peak and exploring the area with this remarkable guide, Lopang – we hope you enjoy. To see the video content from this amazing trip please head to our YouTube channel. We stayed at Nxamaseri Island Lodge which is the closest lodge to the Tsodilo Hills located on a beautiful stretch of the Okavango panhandle.

The Kays family have been a staple of the Okavango Delta since 1887, with a family history akin to stories of Indiana Jones as written by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. The Okavango Delta is a key to the health of planet Earth and something so stunning it will literally change your life. A remote inland river delta, in southern Africa, located in modern day Botswana and dotted with thousands of small islands, the Okavango hosts some of the largest concentrations of wildlife on the planet. Listen to Cathy, and her son Martin, discuss what makes the Okavango such a special place and why their family has remained there for many generations. They also discuss how to manage staff and high-expectation guests at a collection of six safari camps in the center of the delta, including their Premier camp Jao – consistently named one of the Top 50 Hotels in the World.
