From Hollywood it's time now Johnny dollar This is Barry Winters at Masters Insurance Trust. Oh, hi Barry. It's been years sure Johnny because we don't usually have trouble with our accounts You mean you didn't huh until now Well, yeah, I'm afraid that's about the size of it and this time it's bad trouble. Tell me all Simplex tackle company Johnny over in Danbury fishing tackle. That's right. Oh, how come I never heard of them What's that mean it's owned by nine men one of them Hanley Thomas is president The others are secretary treasurer and a flock of vice president. So what's happened the nine of them Plus the 20 or 30 workers at the plant are all covered by a group life insurance deal and listen Yeah, we've just had to pay off on three policies in a row. Well, that's too bad But why call on me because Johnny why those three deaths were all murders Bob Bailey in the exciting adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigators truly Johnny dollar and now act one of yours truly Johnny dollar Expense account submitted by special investigator Johnny dollar to the Masters Insurance and Trust Company home office Hartford, Connecticut Following us an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the ugly pattern matter Expense account I don't want a dollar even taxi to Barry winter's office at Masters where I hoped he could give me something more to work on Then he had over the phone And you know something as it turned out he gave me a lot more than he thought he did police Sure, they've been working on these murders Johnny, but they haven't come up with anything except a theory that one man is behind them all Why very because the victims have all been members of the Simplex tackle company Well, but I know because they've all occurred within a month because each of them occurred on a Wednesday Pattern, huh? That's right. And also Johnny because there's been no apparent reason for any of them Have the police found anything nothing Same kind of weapon used in each case. No The first was a VP named Adams run over by a car. Sure. It wasn't accidental the police say no The second John Bowers was strangled and Frank Dalvers was shot in his own home. No pattern there I mean in the way they occurred apparently not But Hanley Thomas and the police don't agree Thomas is president of Simplex you said and a real financial wizard Used to be a promoter not much ethics, but a sharp businessman as a friend or partner. I imagine he's Well, he's a fine man I'll give you a complete list of the officers of the company the rank and their salary Well, I don't know exactly what good that'll do you And this is a list of the employees if those employees all been checked out Sergeant Dennis over there at homicide made quite a point of it. So did mr. Thomas Well, look, why don't I run over there and talk with them and to the Danbury police? I think you'd better and Johnny the sooner the better. Why do you say that the pattern? There are still six officers left in that company. That is Six who are still alive Item two another buck for a cab back to my apartment There I picked up my own car and from here on in the charge will be for mileage Except for item three four and a quarter for a tank of mobile gas It was almost noon by the time I'd covered the 60 odd miles to the simplex factory on the far edge of Danbury To my surprise was quite a plant new and modern in every way a Receptionist took my card and a few minutes later. I was ushered into the office of Hanley Thomas president This is a terrible thing Adams Bowers Frank Dalbers all within a few weeks very winter is back in Hartford seems to think these Murders have all been the work of one man Police and I concur in that theory. There's been a sort of pattern followed by the crazy killer But not an actual method. Mr. Thomas. Oh, no, I'll grant you that's true car accident strangling pistol shot But they were done by someone who must have been very familiar with these victims. How do you mean? Someone who knew for instance that Ben Adams took a long walk alone each night He knew the route that he took same thing applied to the second victim John Bowers always drove to work through a little woods There he was stopped and strangled Frank Dalbers always stayed at home alone on Wednesday nights while his wife was out playing bridge Someone broke in on him. Huh? Have the police checked that well, it was someone. He must have let in in other words Someone he knew it's a possibility. I suppose I Understand you've checked on all your employees Yes, right off the bat as much as we or rather as much as the police could and a particular reason to suspect one of them Well only because they were all in position to know these men pretty well know their habits We're a small company, mr. Dollar our employees including the girls in the office only number 21 That was your only reason to think one of them may have done it Oh, of course, we've had our share of labor troubles a few dissidents in the ranks so to speak I suppose some of them resent the rather top-heavy management here You mean the fact there are nine executives to only 21 employees. Yes, and I must confess the profits have been pretty good lately Barry Winters gave me a list of Here it is Now according to this all of these What is it mr. Dollar Well, I I got thinking on the way over here Yes, part of the pattern you mentioned the three men were killed in well in alphabetical order what? Yes Adams Bowers Dalvers now that I look at this list again, of course the pattern again No, no, I think that was just coincidence the pattern if there is one is based on their order of rank That is if these salary figures mean anything I'm not sure I understand look first was Adams at the lowest salary among you officers Oh, yes Adams received 12,000 a year now look Bowers came in next to 13 five You're right and Frank Dalvers earned 15,000. So if this pattern should continue you you mean to say you think there might be more of these Murders if this pattern continues the next to go would be good him would be James Williams or Charles Hart Both earning 16 five Then a couple of more Then you mr. Thomas mr. Dolly. Well, I find James Williams Well, Williams is on vacation a little place not far from here parvins palm. Why did he leave last week on Monday? Have you heard from him? Oh, no, I haven't but of course if the alphabetical pattern is the right theory Yes Sergeant at home aside mr. Dolly. So I hear I'll hold the phone so you can get ready Thomas Yes, sergeant. I'm afraid I have some bad news for you.  Yes, sergeant. I know what you mean This the cabin mr. Williams was using me. Yes, sir. He came up here on his vacation Monday morning last week alone Yeah, we are Who knew he was coming to this particular spot sergeant. Why everybody down at the plant I guess now the way the dock and I figured it out mr. Williams had just come in from fishing Now you see there. He just tossed his rod and stringer on the bed Everything's just the way it was except for his body that's in Danbury at the coroner You said he was bludgeoned to death with that or from his rowboat. You see it by laying there on the floor Yeah, I see Who found his body little old lady from the cabin next door She'd stopped by this morning to bring him some cookies knocked on the door the door swung open and there he was and the dock Says the body was lying there ever since have you checked that or for Prince killer must have used gloves What about footprints if there were any the vacation crowd cramped him out long before we got here now The way we figure is that he came in here Wednesday night off the lake Wednesday. Yes, mr. Dollar Just like the other ones that happened on Wednesday. We could go tomorrow the pattern again. Yes, sir And if you ask me it's the pattern of a madman and this being a Tuesday again What possible motive could there be for it? Yes, me It's one of the employees there at the plant after all for such a small company nine big money making officers At least it was nine. Yeah, I know what you mean Are those 21 employees paid pretty well? No in spite of the company making a lot of money What with this recession? We're already the science man Most of the so-called recessions a lot of bunk. Yeah, I agree with you Everybody get out and dig instead of sitting around hoarding their money You know what I was gonna say is that those executives took advantage and held down wages in spite of all the money They're making so just let one crazy hothead find out how good they're doing How well have you checked those employees the best we could and I talked with every one of them myself How about the offices of the company? There's not one of them would do a thing like that. They're all fine man Ask mr. Thomas sure their hard-headed businessmen everyone looking out for himself But they're all fine men and they're all making plenty of money. Oh, which reminds me Hmm. What's that? A list of the officers and their salaries and According to this if there's to be another victim another No, I worked out another step in the pattern of these murders based on the earnings of these men Then just a dollar who will it be? It won't be anybody if I can help it But sergeant I may have to ask you to put a 24-hour watch over an officer of that company named. Mr. Charles Hart I didn't bother explaining my own idea of the pattern to sergeant Dennis after all my theory could be wrong But I drove back to the simplex factory to the office of Charles Hart. I found only a secretary there No, he isn't here mr. Dollar. Well, where is he? We perfectly honest about it. I don't know hasn't he been in at all today. No, sir Hasn't been in since about last Wednesday. Look miss. Uh, miss. Uh, whatever your name is. Have you called his home his wife? He's a bachelor and lives in a little apartment in Danbury. Have you tried to call him? Oh, no, sir. You see there was no mr. Thomas know about his not being here There's nothing unusual about Charlie's leaving without telling us mr. Mr. Thomas he often goes off on sales trips like this He was last seen the day mr. Williams was killed well surely you don't think Charlie Hart had anything to do with Jim Williams being oh No, did you find out anything over at Parvon's pond? No, not much. I'm afraid Could this Charlie hard have had any reason for wanting Williams out of the organization and Adams and Bowers and Dalvers of course No, yes Yes, he could what miss Greg What do you mean by that mr. Hart was the one who built up this company the one who developed the product But all his money now just a minute the one who sold all the product that made all the money He and mr. Adams were the ones who started the business. Is that true mr. Thomas? Yes, of course And when mr. Thomas and his relatives came along miss Greg what she says is true mr. Duller Charlie Hart and Ben Adams did start this business. They took on a couple of partners Al Bowers and Frank Dalvers They were the ones who decided on the expansion program who came to us for the financing but the others gone It should have been mr. Hart's company wait miss Greg our financing made this present operation possible But to imply that Charlie could have been driven by jealousy or well or any other motive to commit these crimes. That's absurd How could you suggest such a thing miss Greg? I? Didn't say he did it. I only try know what you said and you've said enough Tell me one thing mr. Thomas. Yes What happens to his share of the business when one of the partners dies or in this case when he's murdered What the other partners absorb his share then if Charlie Hart eliminated one of you it would add to his holdings That's true. Okay. I'll see you later, but mr. Duller if you believe for one moment that Charlie Hart Why I've known him for years. Yeah, well, I think I want to know him a little better Act three of yours truly Johnny Duller in a moment Do you know who said? Democracy is based upon the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people Those words came from the American religious leader Harry Emerson Faustic From the earliest days of the United States of America There has been the sentiment that the average person can achieve an important goal If he has given an environment in which he can develop his capabilities to the fullest extent an Environment in which the individual is given the rights and privileges that he needs for development It is the duty of every American to protect and stimulate this environment Remember the words of Harry Emerson Faustic They are part of your American heritage The extraordinary possibilities of ordinary people are inherent in American democracy And now act three of yours truly Johnny Duller and the ugly pattern matter It was pretty plain that Charlie Hart supposedly next on the list of victims had plenty of motive for eliminating some of his partners in the Simplex tackle company. I guess the same apply to any other member of the company But he having started the business knew all about the others their plans their habits and He'd been last seen just prior to the murder of James Williams I got his address hopped into my car and drove back to Danbury But ringing his bell and pounding on his door got me nothing Are you the building superintendent, that's right, then I want you to let me in a Mr. Hart's apartment All right here. Here are my credentials. I'm an insurance investigator Yeah, here see And if that isn't enough here's a five-spot for your trouble 10 Okay, dad. Thanks the same list than I got the office of our company Mr. Hart, that's right Charlie Hart Should have looked behind the door and you barged in here. Yeah. Well, look would you like to point that thing the other way, please? I'm sorry, Mr. Dollar, of course. Well, you know who I am. Yes. Yes. I heard you through the door All right, is that the gun that killed one of your partners that killed one of my No But listen Tomorrow's another Wednesday Wednesday, I know look look at that list you're holding I Finally realized the progression in which these murders are happening. Oh On the basis of our salaries at the company Adams Bowers Dolvers and Williams are me. Yes, you've circled Williams name. Yes, because he got it last week That's why I'm staying in here locked in Because tomorrow if the killer strikes again that crazy maniac killer, maybe Or maybe that's what he'd like everyone to think Charlie a couple of questions Anything if I can help you stop this that company was once yours Yes, that's right. You were the boss the head man until Hanley Thomas came along Yes, Hanley and his brothers and his brother-in-law and they took over as first in rank Well, they were entitled to dollar What was their money made the company what it is? I'm not an administrator a man who knows and plays all the angles. I'm I'm just a worker in a salesman. Oh, wait a minute. You mean you you're content with the present setup Yes, yes, of course In spite of the prodding of a sweet old secretary who thinks that I wait a minute, but These murders, Mr. You stay put keep that gun and don't move out of this apartment until I tell you to no matter who comes to the door to save your life You think you know Charlie? It's been right under my nose the obvious almost too obvious But I had no proof of anything only a hunch but a potent one so how to prove it out bluff It might work if I was right I drove into police headquarters and pick up sergeant Dennis Then out to the simplex tackle company But when I walked in it was after hours no secretaries about when I walked into the office I borrowed the sergeant's handcuffs and made him wait outside his ear glued to the door. Well, Mr. Dollar, I didn't expect you back since Well, what are the handcuffs mean? They mean arrest for the murder of your partners That's a very bad joke you and your brothers and brother-in-law the whole company yours once you got rid of the men Who started it who made it possible for your capital to make it pay off?  This is the most absurd thing You covered your tracks pretty well perfect crimes Except for that or you used to kill Williams fingerprint as big as life all over it impossible I figured the gloves you wore must have had holes in them or have been worn very thin what that you just didn't notice in the Excitement of the moment and when I finally found those gloves you've been out to my home ran second My wife confessed that you weren't at home at the time of any of the murders. That's a lie. She helped me plan the whole thing Then you admit the murders after my bluff about the fingerprints. I See But now that you know you haven't had time to tell anyone There's no one around to hear the shot Mr. Dollar. Oh, but I heard a real clean confession, Mr. Thomas sergeant No, no that that was just to protect myself from this. I'm afraid that kind of talks a little late. No, no, it is like Sergeant I haven't seen that face of draw except on TV That's where I learned it There'll be a lot for the courts to work on about who else was involved with Thomas The sergeant's bullet killed him by the way, and I'd call it good riddance Or at least quick justice So expensive outtotal including a lot of mileage on my car a hundred and one dollars even remarks my father yours truly Johnny dollar Truly Johnny dollar starring Bob Bailey a rich nates in Hollywood and is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone Who also wrote today's story heard our cast were Virginia Greg less from a in Forrest Lewis her Vigrant Junius Matthews and Frank Gerstle be sure to join us next week for another exciting story of yours truly Johnny dollar This is Roy Rowan speaking Johnny dollar has come to you through the worldwide Facilities of the United States armed forces radio and television service


And this thing it goes into a table, right? Why does this yeah, they have flips up into a table It's like that. Oh, that's pretty cool, right? Oh, I like it. Yeah, we should get something. Yeah It's called converter bench. Yeah, do you ever see it? Yeah, you both?


I made it to the base of Pike's Peak and gonna be sharing some tips and tricks along the way for training and just the course in general. So yeah, anyway, as we go along, but first gotta pay attention to the little details before I get going. Gonna do some massaging, some rolling out, just making sure the legs are feeling real good before we go get this baby done. So, and previewing the course, of course it goes without saying, but it gives you so much confidence if you can get up the mountain once, at least once, but try to do just once in your training block leading up to the Pike's Peak Ascent.  Even if it's, seriously, even if it's just a hike, that's okay. It doesn't have to be a run. It can be a hike. And again, just to familiarize yourself with the terrain and the altitude of course, but it's all here between the ears. All right, so that's what we're doing today. All right, here we go. We just passed the four and a half mile mark and just some advice. I would chill out the first four and a half miles because it's pretty steep. But then after this, of course the entire race is uphill, but after four and a half miles and especially the five mile mark, it does start to level off just a little bit and you can actually make up some time and actually run. So all right, here we go. This is what the trail looks like at four and a half miles. All right, real quick, what you need to think about for your footwear is that there are some sections on the ascent course that have kind of this loose gravel. Actually, I'm gonna pick some up right now. Hold on.  It's just kind of loose. Now it's not horrible, but it is there. And so just think about maybe some shoes that have a little more lug depth, maybe four to five millimeters approximately rather than a more tame or an outsole on a running shoe that is not as aggressive as some others. I'm gonna be running in, I'll just tell you now. I'm gonna be running in the Solomon S-Lab Sense 7 SG. But keep in mind, it's a very aggressive, lightweight fast shoe, but that's what I'm gonna be racing in for the Pikespeak Ascent. All right, see if we can't get up to the halfway point. Let's go. Halfway, we made it. So this spot is a rock outcropping that you see on your screen right now. And so this is halfway, six and a half miles. And almost more importantly, we're gonna talk about this as well at the three quarter mark. And just so you know how I break up races is that I, you guys come on, just updating the GoPro. Yeah. It's up. Here comes the rain. And just so you know how I break up my races, some people do it into thirds. I do it into quarters. And that's definitely my track background speaking out there. So I do 25%, 25, 25, 25. So this is the halfway point. And the nice, exciting part about this, this point right here is you can see the top.  And we'll talk about that once we get there. All right, let's go. Oh, here we go. Basically we are at mile 10. So we're three quarters of the way to the top. And I have found that from mile eight to 10 are very difficult mentally on the Pikes Peak Ascent course because it's pretty steep. You're not quite a tree line. We're a tree line right here, which basically above here, you can start to see the top. In fact, I can see the top right there. So mentally at mile 10 is, for me, is much, much easier because I tell myself mentally, okay, I have a 5K to go. I can run a 5K. And the bonus is you can see, you can see the top. You can see the finish. So, but from basically, yeah, basically mile eight to 10 to here, it's just hard mentally because you're climbing and switch back and climbing and switch back and you're in the trees. And so it's just hard because you can't see the top. All right, continue on. Well, this is the end of the road for me. You can see behind me there. The clouds do not look good. And trust me, I checked the weather forecast last night and they said it was gonna be perfect today. No thunderstorms, no clouds, no nothing, but that's Colorado for you. You just can't predict the weather up here. So I think I'm probably at about 12,000 feet right now. So didn't quite get to the top, but that's okay. 10 and a half miles up here. Looks like we're at about two hours and 13 minutes. So we will take it. It's a good solid session, but tip of the day, pike speak training. If I hear thunder twice above tree line, I turn around. That's just my rule of thumb. So I'm piecing out, going back down. Oh man, you do what you do. You do what you can. I should say, all right, let's go. The GoPro died as I was filming there in the creek. And yes, you were correct everyone at my leg. It wasn't, first of all, that creek wasn't quite as cold as a couple of days ago, but the legs are feeling much, much better after spending a good five to 10 minutes in that creek. So, and yes, enjoying a little post, 20 mile snack, 20 miles, 32 kilometers, 6,200 feet of vertical gain or 1,900 meters of vertical gain and loss. And so we will take it. Hold on. Oh, nothing like watermelon on a hot day after a long run. Okay, Zebulon. You know what that is. Good luck spelling it, Zebulon. I'll let you do the research to figure out what that is all about. I'm just gonna leave it there. Okay, the Pikes Peak Ascent in Summary. Here we go. Basically, you start out on pavement in Manitou Springs. The first mile and a quarter is on pavement. So keep that in mind as well for your shoes. It shouldn't impact your shoes that much. Just know that you're gonna be on pavement for a mile and a quarter. And it's pretty steep at the end, really steep as far as on the pavement. And then you get onto the bar trail and you start doing the switchbacks. And the switchbacks up the mountain until you get to mile basically three to three and a half. And that's the 25%, right? The quarter mark of the race, 3.3 miles. And then from 3.3 to mile five, hold on. This is from 3.3 to mile five, the course starts to level off a little bit. But then at mile five, that is when you can really, four and a half to five, you can really start to roll a little bit. The trail mellows out real nice. So enjoy that. If you wanna start to pick up your pace, get those legs moving a little bit quicker, that is the time to do it. But I would recommend chilling out the first, really the first four miles basically. And then once you hit a bar camp, which is basically, okay, basically seven to seven and a half miles approximately, then know that right after bar camp, and there's a big eight station at bar camp, you start going up on some more big switchbacks. And that's when it starts to get tough for me mentally, for mile basically, I'm gonna call it mile eight to mile 10, okay, on the course. You do these big, long switchbacks, just huge switchbacks that go on and on forever.  I think right there, you're probably at about 10,000 feet basically. Maybe a little higher than 10,000 feet. And then once you get through that section that from, let's say from bar camp to tree line, then you can see the peak, you can see the top, you can see the finish. And that is when, so that's mile 10, when you saw me there, where you break out of the trees and there it is. And that is when for me, now I'm excited, like I wanna race. I'm ready to rock and roll. I don't have my racing shoes out here right now. I would show them to you, shoot. I'll do that another day, but basically I know mentally that I can run a 5K. Now it's a hard 5K, but I just honestly, that's my mental trick. I tell myself, okay, I've run plenty of 5Ks in my life, probably hundreds in actual races. I can do a 5K and I start to push. And I start to push. Now keep in mind, you're at altitude, you're starting to top out. At that point, you're at basically 11,500 feet is considered tree line. And the trail, once again, is switchback. And you can see it on your screen there. It just switchbacks up the mountain all the way. So I know you can do this. I know. And in fact, all right, let's do it. Question of the day, who has raced the Pikes Peak Ascent? What was your experience like? And or who's racing this year? And or who has aspirations to race in the future? Okay, so that's the question of the day because I know you can do this. I hope if you're, there's a lot. You wouldn't believe everybody, how many people come and do this race who live at sea level? And I'm just in awe of you. I'm in awe because I don't know if I could do that, but I know you can. So, and okay, I'm just gonna say now, if you have access to elevation or access to get above tree line, I would recommend getting above tree line three times, at least three times before the Pikes Peak Ascent, okay? Again, all about that adaptation, recruiting red blood cells so that your breathing is a little, so basically more oxygen can be delivered to your muscles during the breathing when you start getting up there when the oxygen is getting thinner and thinner, all right? And one more tip before we wrap it up is I would definitely spend 30 seconds to 60 seconds at the aid stations. Try not to stay too long. All right, but at the aid stations and get fluid in you, especially if it's a hot day. If there's no cloud cover, it can get really toasty up there. So just get the fluids in you. Don't just do all water, do a little bit of sports mix as well because you can actually dilute yourself too much if you just drink too much water. So, but it's really critical, especially above tree line. You start to get very thirsty when you're up in the heat, up in the sun is just beating down at you sometimes when you're above tree line up there on the peak. So all right, everyone, I hope you enjoyed. I hope that gives you a little insight as far as what shoes I'm gonna be wearing. Once again, it's the Solomon S-Lab Sense 7SG. They're down below. And then as far as the course, just kinda walking you through parts of the course and we're gonna wrap it there. Second video, publishing today, 5 p.m. mountain time, talking about not the full review. We're getting closer to that 50 mile mark. We're not there yet, but talking about how the Pegasus 36 trails performed today, specifically on a big mountain, climbing lots of vertical. So I'll be excited to talk with all of you about that later on. Seek beauty, work hard, and love each other. I am thirsty. I gotta drink all this right now. All right, see you tomorrow. Cheers.


So one of the things that can happen is that within that soil water, so we get nutrients that are dissolved in that soil water that can move down through the profile. And so as they move down through the soil and into our waters and river systems, those nutrients can be lost to plants, they end up in our river systems with too much nutrients. So sometimes we see algae growing on the top surface that's trying to pull some of that in or we sometimes hear about the Great Barrier Reef having problems with too much nutrients coming through and that's because we've got too much supply in the in the soil water. So within our agricultural systems we'll often add fertilizers into our system so it's really important that we get predictable levels of growth and so adding fertilizers to help plants access more readily and more quickly and more reliably those other nutrients is a way that we do that but on the other side of that because we're putting it into the soil water rather than a slower system of decomposition and slow release, we've got more risk that that will end up in our waterways. As we think about these processes so we've got soil energy coming down from the sun that plants convert into energy and sugars or they take directly carbon dioxide, they support other organisms to take nitrogen out of the atmosphere, we've got plants that support biological processes that help to weather, rock and create these beautiful healthy soils and to build structure. We have these really important biological processes that help to manage the hydrological flows so the flows of water through our landscape and it's really important for us to recognize that those living processes are such a fundamental part of our own health and well-being, they contribute to our food system and to this incredible environment that help provide oxygen and help to regulate the atmosphere and so I think for me that's a really exciting process and the really wonderful thing about these biological processes is the more we look after them the more they give back to us, the more they produce, the more they collect energy, the more they share with us and the more they support a really healthy environment.

It's a much more competent and professional defence force, and frankly a better equipped defence force than it was of 20 years ago. This idea for the circumstances of yesterday and today is fine. I think that despite concerns about cuts to funding and everything else, the sharp end of defence is certainly more experienced and probably more professional than it was in the years before Afghanistan. The Australian Defence Force of today is far better than the one throughout the 70s and the 80s that we had. However, the bar set by the strategic environment has increased far far more, therefore the Australian Defence Force is still deeply deficient. The overall capability of the ADF for the task set for it is declining. All capabilities start to erode when you withdraw them from operations and other priorities start to intrude. The pressure on the budget is going to mean that continuing the projects that they've got in place at the moment and keeping the equipment that they've got at high levels of readiness and effectiveness is going to be a real challenge. As a long-term proposition, the ADF is certainly declining in its relative capabilities, capability relative to credible regional adversaries. Particularly as Asia's middle powers and great powers really begin to stand up and improve their military capabilities, I think that's where the question of the quality of our force will really come into play, whether we're able to maintain that qualitative edge or not relative to those other countries. The operational tempo is coming off at the same time as funding is coming off. We're going to begin a decline.
