Send us Fan MailWhat if trying harder to share your faith is actually getting in the way? This week on Midweek Motivation, Jess unpacks the first step in the BLESS framework: Begin with Prayer. But this isn't a lecture about praying more. It's about why surrendering control is the thing that actually opens doors, changes your heart, and takes the weight off your shoulders. If you've ever felt the pressure to be someone you're not in order to share Jesus with people, this one is for youDiscover:Why Jesus began every major moment of His ministry with prayer, and what that means for usHow prayer shifts the responsibility for life change from you to GodThe practical habit of pausing in prayer and following through when God puts someone on your mindWhat it looks like to pray for open hearts, opportunities, boldness, and alignment with GodWhy your weakness might be the most important thing you bring to the tableYou don't have to be the most persuasive person in the room. You don't have to have all the answers. When you begin with prayer, you're handing the results to the one who actually changes people. And that, as Jess puts it, sure does take a load off.Key Takeaways:Prayer is the non-negotiable starting point for sharing your faithSurrender comes before strategyGod uses your weakness to show His strengthPraying for someone often opens doors you never would have knocked on yourselfYou're not responsible for the outcome. You're responsible for showing up.Question for you to think about:What if you paused right now and asked God to put one person on your mind, then followed through with a simple text?If this encouraged you, send it to someone who's been feeling the pressure to "do more."

This week on Dem Vinyl Boyz, we step into the luxurious, grimy, art-filled world of Westside Gunn with his critically acclaimed 2020 album, Pray for Paris—a record where Buffalo street rap collides with high fashion, fine art, professional wrestling, and the underground sound of Griselda. The inspiration for Pray for Paris came after Westside Gunn attended Virgil Abloh’s Off-White fashion show during Paris Fashion Week in early 2020. That experience helped shape the album’s aesthetic: street culture presented as high art. Even the album cover makes that connection, using Caravaggio’s David with the Head of Goliath, reworked by Abloh with Westside Gunn’s signature chains added to the imagery. Musically, Pray for Paris is built around dusty samples, haunting loops, sparse drums, and Gunn’s unmistakable high-pitched delivery and trademark ad-libs. Rather than chasing the mainstream sound of 2020, Gunn created something that feels like a rare piece of art pressed onto vinyl. The album brings together an incredible roster of guests and producers. Benny the Butcher and Conway the Machine join Gunn on the Griselda showcase “George Bondo,” while Freddie Gibbs and Roc Marciano appear on “$500 Ounces.” Tyler, the Creator and Billie Essco join him for “327,” and Joey Bada$$ and Tyler appear on the standout “327.” The project also features Wale on “French Toast” and production from names including The Alchemist, Daringer, DJ Muggs, Camoflauge Monk, and Tyler, the Creator. Tracks such as “Allah Sent Me,” “George Bondo,” “327,” “$500 Ounces,” “Versace,” and “LE Djoliba” showcase what makes the album so distinctive. Gunn jumps between drug-game imagery, wrestling references, designer fashion, food, wealth, violence, and fine art, creating a world where the corner and the gallery somehow occupy the same space. We also get into the story of Westside Gunn himself and the rise of Griselda Records. Alongside Conway and Benny, Gunn helped put Buffalo, New York on the hip-hop map while reviving an unapologetically raw style of East Coast rap. His influence extends beyond simply rapping—he approaches albums as a curator, obsessing over artwork, sequencing, production, fashion, and physical releases. Join Dem Vinyl Boyz as we break down Pray for Paris, an album that helped turn underground hip-hop into luxury art without cleaning up any of its dirt. It's boom-bap in designer clothes, Buffalo by way of Paris, and one of the defining records of Westside Gunn and the Griselda movement.

Farming in California has never been simple, but for Cannon Michael of Bowles Farming Company, adapting to changing conditions has become a fundamental part of keeping a sixth-generation operation moving forward. In the latest AgNet News Hour, Michael discusses everything from extreme heat and limited water supplies to labor, regulation and the future of farming on California's West Side. Bowles Farming Company manages roughly 11,000 acres near Los Banos and across the western San Joaquin Valley. The operation is remarkably diverse, producing carrots, sweet corn, garlic, onions, watermelons, cantaloupes, honeydew, tomatoes, almonds, pistachios and other crops throughout the year. That diversity has become one way the farm continues adapting. Michael said Bowles expanded significantly into additional crops beginning around 2016, helping transform the operation into essentially a year-round business. But water remains one of the biggest challenges. Michael discussed the frustration of receiving only a 25 percent water allocation despite relatively full reservoirs, pointing to aging infrastructure and regulations that have made moving water through California increasingly difficult. "We keep delivering food to the markets," Michael said, noting that agriculture continues finding ways to remain productive despite the challenges. Michael also addressed another concern facing California agriculture: whether the next generation will still see farming as a worthwhile future. He said increasing costs and regulatory pressure can discourage younger family members from returning to agricultural businesses that previous generations worked to build. Still, Bowles Farming Company continues investing in its future. Michael highlighted drip irrigation, solar energy and conservation efforts, including 650 acres the family placed into a permanent federal easement for wetland habitat along the Pacific Flyway. The conversation offers a look inside one of the West Side's major farming operations—and the constant balancing act required to grow food in California today. Listen to Part 1 of the full interview with Cannon Michael on the AgNet News Hour.

Chicago's Inspector General just confirmed what many suspected: Mayor Brandon Johnson's city burned through $640 million in taxpayer money on illegal migrants over just two years — housing, care, and grants for 46,282 people who crossed the border illegally. Johnson isn't apologizing. He's bragging about it.Meanwhile, Chicago Public Schools are staring down a $732 million budget deficit. Enrollment is cratering, academic proficiency is near the floor, and COVID relief money has run dry. The city is closing schools, the budget director just resigned, and the mayor's response is to talk about "stability in me." Steve Forbes called the whole thing what it is: virtue signaling on the backs of kids who can barely read.Pastor Corey Brooks put it plainly in a recent op-ed — take care of your own first. The South Side and West Side communities that voted Johnson in are watching their neighborhood schools collapse while city hall celebrates spending nearly a billion dollars on people who came here illegally. That's the deal they got.The voters chose this. Brandon Johnson was the progressive pick, and now the bill is coming due.

The myth that aerobic conditioning steals your strength is the exact reason most experienced lifters hit an early plateau and stay chronically beat up. From running high-volume CrossFit boxes to completing a PhD in Kinesiology, Jason Brown realized that rigid, maximal-effort splits were wrecking real-world athletes who lacked the autonomic recovery to handle constant strain. By pairing full-body Conjugate rotations with targeted low-intensity conditioning, he reverse-engineered a minimum-effective-dose system that expands work capacity while protecting long-term durability. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION Concurrent vs. Conjugate: The sports science definition versus Westside's real-world, in-the-trenches application. The Interference Effect: Why targeted aerobic work builds underlying recovery mechanisms instead of stealing strength and muscle gains. Full-Body vs. Split Routines: The three-day structural shift that improves program adherence for stressed lifters. Minimum Effective Dose: Why four to six strategically selected exercises can outperform high-volume fatigue traps. Autonomic Stress Regulation: How to leverage heart rate metrics to auto-regulate training when life caps your ability to handle additional strain. MEET THE GUEST Jason Brown is a Westside Barbell Special Strengths Coach, CSCS, author of Lower-Body Training, and Kinesiology PhD candidate. A combat veteran and former CrossFit affiliate owner who has programmed for tens of thousands of athletes worldwide, Brown specializes in refining Conjugate principles to build maximum work capacity, real-world performance, and longevity for lifelong lifters.

Das Musik-College war nicht der richtige Ort für vier junge Talente aus Manchester. Das Wichtigste, das sie zwischen Schulbank und Notenständer lernten? Dass sie sich nie wieder Gedanken über das perfekte Tempo oder die theoretisch korrekte Akkordfolge eines Songs machen möchten. Die Antwort auf den Wunsch, Musik wieder intuitiv und ohne akademischen Überbau zu machen, heisst Westside Cowboy. Aus vier frustrierten Studierenden entwickelte sich in den vergangenen zwei Jahren eine der meistbeachteten Newcomer-Bands Grossbritanniens. Auch in der Schweiz konnte man sich diesen Frühling bereits von den Live-Qualitäten des Quartetts überzeugen: Als Support der New Yorker Hype-Band Geese tourten Westside Cowboy durch Europa, obwohl ihre Diskografie zu diesem Zeitpunkt erst zwei EPs klein war. In Vorbereitung auf das Debütalbum «It Goes On» tourten Westside Cowboy in den letzten Monaten schier pausenlos. Auch das Sounds!-Interview musste unterwegs auf der Autobahn zwischen Hamburg und London stattfinden. Nun ist das erste Album da, der grosse Labelvertrag in der Tasche und alle Interviews im Kasten. Zeit also, Westside Cowboy kennenzulernen. Ihr Debütalbum «It Goes On» ist das neue Sounds! Album der Woche. Wir verlosen täglich Vinyl – nur live im Radio.

Eugene O'Neill's play Hughie has been performed at least three times by Al Pacino (The Godfather, Frankie & Johnny, Scent of a Woman) throughout his career. It is a one-act play set in the lobby of a small hotel on a West Side street in Midtown Manhattan, New York, during the summer of 1928. Only characters exist in the play - small-time gambler Erie Smith and Hotel night clerk Charlie Hughes. Pacino played the role of Erie Smith in each production. Costume designer Candice Donnelly joins the podcast to discuss working on the stage production. She talks about what designs Pacino wanted for the clothes, why he didn't care about fitted shoes and how he never wanted to try any of the clothes on. Candice also talks about the type of fabric needed for the suit that Al wore every night.All About Al: The Pacino Podcast is written, produced and presented by Mark Searby. Hosted on Acast.

California agriculture is facing a growing list of challenges, but Westside farmer Joe Del Bosque says the industry's future depends on practical solutions, innovation, water and ensuring the next generation has a reason to stay involved in farming. In the latest episode of the AgNet News Hour, “the Ag Meter” Nick Papagni and Sir Josh McGill welcome Joe Del Bosque of Del Bosque Farms for an in-depth conversation about the realities of farming on California's West Side. Del Bosque, who farms in the Firebaugh-Los Banos area, discusses his specialty-crop operation and the challenges facing growers of cantaloupes, honeydews, watermelons and tomatoes. He explains that California farmers face high labor costs, extensive regulations and ongoing water challenges while competing against lower-cost imports. Agriculture, Food Security and California-Grown Produce A central theme of the conversation is the importance of California agriculture to the nation's food supply. Del Bosque emphasizes that California has some of the country's best soils and climate for producing specialty crops that cannot be grown as effectively in many other areas. Papagni and McGill also encourage consumers to pay attention to where their food comes from and, when possible, choose California-grown fruits, vegetables and nuts. The discussion highlights the difference between produce grown under California's strict standards and products shipped thousands of miles from other countries. The hosts argue that consumers should consider quality and food safety—not simply price—when purchasing fresh produce. Technology Is Changing the Farm Del Bosque also describes how dramatically agriculture has changed since he began farming. Irrigation, crop varieties, weed control and sophisticated packing-house technology have all advanced, while automation, drones and robotic equipment are creating new opportunities. However, harvesting crops such as melons and table grapes remains highly dependent on skilled human labor. Del Bosque says the modern farm increasingly needs college-educated workers capable of managing technology, regulations and sophisticated production systems. Water Remains the Biggest Challenge Water is another major focus. Del Bosque discusses the potential impacts of SGMA and the importance of capturing storm flows and using them to recharge depleted groundwater supplies. He also stresses the need to remove politics from agricultural issues and find solutions that allow farmers to continue producing food. A Future for the Next Generation Despite the challenges, Del Bosque sees opportunities ahead. More young people are studying agriculture and preparing for careers in farm management, pest control, human resources, technology and other agricultural fields. The conversation also covers crop conditions, market pressures, rising wages, organic production and the importance of improving marketing for California-grown products. Listen to the full AgNet News Hour podcast to hear Nick Papagni, Sir Josh McGill and Joe Del Bosque discuss what it really takes to keep California farming productive—and why protecting the state's agricultural future matters to everyone.

The latest AgNet News Hour takes listeners to California's West Side for an in-depth conversation with Joe Del Bosque of Del Bosque Farms, as “The Ag Meter” Nick Papagni and Sir Josh McGill explore the realities facing farmers trying to keep nearly 2,000 acres productive. Del Bosque's story is one of perseverance. His family came to the San Joaquin Valley from the Imperial Valley in the 1930s and 1940s to work seasonal melon harvests. His father eventually accepted a permanent position growing and harvesting melons, and Joe grew up learning the business and developing the work ethic that would eventually lead him to start his own farm in 1985. Today, Del Bosque Farms produces organic cantaloupes, honeydews, watermelons and specialty melons, along with organic processing tomatoes and almonds. But farming those crops has become increasingly difficult. Early warm weather pushed the melon harvest into June, but later production caught up, creating a supply buildup that pressured prices. Extreme heat has also created challenges, including sunburn damage to some melon varieties. Water remains one of the biggest concerns. Del Bosque says his West Side operation received only a 25% water allocation this year, forcing the farm to purchase additional water from other districts at significant expense. The farm cannot simply stop watering almond trees for a year, while its melon program also requires reliable water to remain viable. Labor is another critical issue. Del Bosque understands the physical demands firsthand, having picked cantaloupes himself beginning at about age 10. Today, his crews work early to avoid the worst afternoon heat, with cold water, shade and breaks provided to help protect workers. He also argues that agriculture needs a reliable legal workforce and a faster, practical process for workers seeking legal status. The conversation also turns to California politics and the importance of farmers working with whoever holds elected office. Del Bosque says he prefers bringing policymakers directly to the farm so they can see firsthand how crops are grown, harvested and marketed. He emphasizes that agriculture needs solutions on water, labor, immigration and regulation regardless of which political party is in power. The interview offers a candid look at the pressures facing California farmers—and the determination that keeps them farming despite those challenges. Listen to the full AgNet News Hour podcast for more from Joe Del Bosque, Nick Papagni and Sir Josh McGill, including the discussion about water, markets, farm labor, California politics and the future of farming on the West Side.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a man who was homeless and planning to end his life gets stopped by a stranger at a bus stop? This week on Midweek Motivation, Jess sits down with Ben and Monica Morrow, a married couple at Westside who carry two very different stories of pain, transformation, and the kind of change that only God can produce. If you've ever wondered whether people can actually change, this conversation might convince you.Discover:How a stranger's prayer at a bus stop became the turning point in Ben's lifeWhy it took 10 years after that moment for Ben to call himself a ChristianMonica's journey of searching for healing in all the wrong places before finding GodWhat Men's Alliance and Women's Alliance at Westside have done for their growthWhy they believe change isn't a destination but a daily, active choiceTransformation isn't instant, and it's rarely clean. Ben and Monica are honest about that. But what God has built in them, in their marriage, in their family, and in their daily choices is evidence that real change doesn't require you to have it all together first. Sometimes it starts with one prayer you didn't expect.Key Takeaways:Change is inevitable. The question is what direction you'll change in.God doesn't waste your pain. He makes purpose out of it.Community accelerates transformation. You weren't meant to do this alone.You don't have to fix yourself before God can start working.Saying yes once can set an entire life on a different trajectory.Question for you to think about:What if the change you've given up on is closer than you think, and the only thing standing between you and it is one decision to lean in?If this encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to hear it this week.

It's an all-out attack on both genders by women, and someone's got to step up. Whether it's preference-related or desire-related, someone's got to speak up for all sides, right? A woman hops online to accuse women who don't date bisexual men of homophobia, and someone's got to set the record straight. Then another woman hops online to speak on why financially independent women treat their men differently once they're up, and someone's got to set the record straight on that too... >Give your feedback here

Faith can be passed down, but it cannot be inherited. Rehoboam followed the patterns of his father instead of seeking the wisdom of God, showing us how easily faith can become cultural instead of personal. But one generation can change everything. Make your faith personal, model a real relationship with Jesus, and follow Him with authenticity. Invest in the mission and vision of Westside: https://westsidebaptist.org/give FOLLOW Westside Baptist Church: ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/westsidegainesville ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/westsidegainesville ► Website | https://www.westsidebaptist.org

In the late summer of 1933, with the Great Depression holding Chicago in a frozen grip, twenty-two-year-old Jacob Rubenstein and his sister Eva packed a single suitcase and looked west. Under the sun-drenched palm trees of California, a strange transformation occurred. The volatile, quick-tempered kid from the West Side tenements seemed to vanish, replaced by a well-mannered, meticulously dressed young gentleman who openly admired local beat cops and managed newspaper subscription crews. Yet, the street-hustler DNA remained active underneath his polished veneer as he ran lucrative racetrack tip sheets from Santa Anita to Bay Meadows.But this fragile West Coast peace was shattered in 1937 when his mother, Fanny, suffered a complete psychiatric collapse. Returning to the familiar grime and chaos of his family's Chicago home, the polished gentleman dissolved. Jacob immediately plunged back into the raw, competitive arena of the streets—scalping tickets, selling cheap watches out of his pockets, and violently beating a man to the pavement who hurled an anti-Semitic slur at him.Desperate for a real position of authority and respect, Jacob found his calling in late 1937 as an organizer for the Scrap Iron and Junk Handlers Union. It was here that he met the ultimate mentor who would redefine his life: Leon Cook, the union's brilliant, idealistic, college-educated attorney. Jacob idolized Cook, pouring his manic energy into the union while frequently serving as its blunt instrument and "muscle" to keep hostile employers and wildcat strikes in line.Then came the cold night of December 8, 1939, when a bitter power struggle ended in gunfire. Mob-aligned union president John Martin shot Leon Cook at point-blank range, a lethal blow that eventually claimed Cook's life and allowed the Chicago syndicate to seize control. Shattered and violently frozen out by the mob, twenty-eight-year-old Jacob made a profound, deeply emotional choice to preserve his mentor's memory: he legally adopted Cook's first name as his own middle name. From that moment on, he was Jacob Leon Rubenstein—and later, Jack Leon Ruby. Every time he signed a document, introduced himself to a Dallas police officer, or handed out a strip club business card, he carried the name of a murdered man and the heavy shadow of his violent past.

In the pre-World War II era of the "Chicago Cowboy," Jacob Rubenstein was a striking figure of manic energy on the West Side. Working out with desperate intensity at local YMCA clubs, he obsessed over his physical conditioning and receding hairline, famously boasting to anyone who would listen that he could "hit harder than Joe Louis." Struggling to stay afloat after the tragic murder of his labor union mentor, Jack teamed up with business associates to launch the Spartan Novelty Company. Operating out of cheap, transient hotel rooms, they chased the cash-heavy flow of "punchboards"—unregulated, highly addictive, gray-market gambling devices that were sweeping across the country.When the bombs fell on Pearl Harbor, Jack's deeply emotional patriotism spurred him to manufacture patriotic plaques and plaster busts of his idol, Franklin D. Roosevelt. However, his own perfectionistic psychology sabotaged the dream; his obsessive-compulsive design delays kept the products in development for months until cheap, mass-produced competitors flooded the market, leaving him completely broke once more. But as his commercial novelties fell apart, a much more physical struggle was brewing. Confronted by the rising local threat of the pro-Nazi German-American Bund, Jack and a crew of tough young Jewish brawlers from the Lawndale Pool Room mobilized, taking pool cues and heavy wooden clubs directly to the fascists' street rallies to defend their community with primal ethnic pride.This high-voltage era highlighted the ultimate Jacob Rubenstein paradox: he was a volatile, quick-tempered brawler, yet he acted with a deeply ingrained sense of chivalry. The same man who would crack heads at a Nazi rally was also a self-appointed protector of the weak who violently beat college students for hurling racial slurs at a Black piano player, and threw himself into a savage street fight to rescue an older woman being abused by a stranger. This riveting chapter of Jack's life draws to a close in May 1943 when the street hustler of Roosevelt Road is finally drafted into the U.S. Army Air Forces—setting the stage for a surprisingly disciplined military career that would be punctuated by explosive, defensive violence.

On November 24, 1963, Jack Ruby stepped out of the shadows of a crowded Dallas police basement and shot Lee Harvey Oswald live on national television, silencing the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy forever. In a single moment, Ruby opened a canyon of doubt and conspiracy that has never closed, cementing himself as one of the most mysterious and controversial figures in modern history. To the public, he was a Dallas strip club owner and midnight hustler, a man of wild and irreconcilable contradictions who could beat a patron into the concrete  one moment, and weep over a sad news story, buy groceries for a struggling mother, or cook tender lamb chops for his beloved dogs the next. But who was the man beneath the dark fedora? In this first episode of our deep-dive series, we takes a wander back to the core of the JFK story to understand the volatile behavior of this highly complex individual by looking past the neon lights of the Carousel Club and rewinding the tape to where it all began.To trace the roots of Ruby's explosive violence, we travel back to March 25, 1911, and the crowded, impoverished immigrant streets of Chicago's West Side. Born Jacob Rubenstein, he was the fifth of eight living children born to Joseph and Fanny Rubenstein, Polish Jewish immigrants who had fled the violent, repressive rule of Tsarist Russia. Growing up in what his own family described as a below-middle-class ghetto on Morgan Street, Jacob's world was defined by coal smoke, ethnic street fights, and extreme domestic trauma. The Rubenstein home was a toxic pressure cooker of parental strife and heavy violence, driven by his father's severe alcoholism and explosive rages, leading to constant police interventions and an eventual family disintegration when Jacob was just ten years old.As his family collapsed, Jacob watched his mother, Fanny, descend into severe, tragic mental illness. Plagued by a bizarre, lifelong delusion that a sharp fishbone was permanently lodged in her throat, she spent years dragging her children to clinics, eventually slipping into intense paranoia and being committed to Elgin State Hospital in 1937. Left to run wild, Jacob dropped out of school by the eighth grade to become a street hustler, earning the lifelong nickname "Sparky"—a name born of his awkward walk or lightning-fast temper, which he so thoroughly despised that he would instantly attack anyone who dared say it to his face. Despite the childhood neglect, Jacob remained deeply devoted to his mother, internalizing her frantic anxieties and intense volatility in ways that would profoundly shape his adult life.By age eleven, Jacob's truancy and incorrigible behavior at home led to an evaluation by the Institute for Juvenile Research. The resulting 1922 psychiatric report is a chillingly prophetic document, describing an egocentric, quick-tempered, and highly erratic child desperate for attention he could never receive at home. Declared a dependent ward of the state, Jacob was torn from his siblings and isolated in foster homes, fostering a desperate need to "be a somebody" that would follow him all the way to the Carousel Club. Decades later, both the Warren Commission and his defense attorney, Melvin Belli, would weaponize this traumatic past—with Belli claiming that in Ruby's highly emotional, shattered mind, shooting Oswald was a bizarre attempt to protect a grieving Jacqueline Kennedy, substituting the First Lady for the broken mother he could never save in Chicago. Join us as we begin this miniseries, uncovering how the scars of Chicago's streets paved the way for the fateful basement in Dallas.

Ward 7 is made up of the west side of Batavia, and contains a lot of the West Side staples we often think about: Engstrom Park, the Mooseheart Corn Fields, the High School, and yes, Randall Road. And then there's the large groups of brand new homes, a bunch of houses with little history, and a downtown that is not as walkable as you might like to most.It's an area without a lot of focal points for gathering, and the ones that are there are largely commercial and impersonal.

This episode is the full breakdown — what periodization actually is, why it doesn't work for tactical populations, and what to do instead.What we get into:Defining the thing first — because not a single person in the online discourse could do it. The NSCA definition: the logical and systematic process of sequencing training interventions to achieve peak performance at appropriate time points. Every version of periodization, whether block, linear, nonlinear, conjugate, or West Side, shares the same five assumptions. The most important one: that biological adaptations follow a predictable course. They don't.Why periodization is a Soviet export — and what that means. Most of the foundational periodization literature is mapping sports science onto communist economic planning. General adaptation syndrome is not a predictive model. It's a descriptive model. Hans Selye never explained what makes something stressful, never told you how much stress causes adaptation, and never specified when the resistance phase begins or ends. Also, his exhaustion phase was death. Not fatigue. Death. The field of stress physiology left him behind decades ago.The Milo and the bull problem — and why progressive overload is almost universally misunderstood. Milo didn't get stronger because the bull got bigger. He was able to lift the bigger bull because he got stronger. The causal arrow runs the other way. What to do instead — navigating versus forecasting. Shorten the prediction window to what the environment actually allows you to control. A week at a time. The low-hanging fruit problem. You've got people debating intricately periodized strength plans for soldiers who are failing a two-mile run where the passing standard is a ten-minute mile pace. That's what this conversation is really about.Also in this episode:Joey Chestnut vs. Usain Bolt in the Glizzy Gauntlet — one hot dog, then a hundred meters.
