failed and promise yourself not to repeat the same mistake again. You will actually emerge tougher.
I find it hard to concentrate on my studies, there are family issues/financial problems/post breakup trauma/etc.
Time Management College going students, working professionals, first-time attempters will all have problems related to time. The objective of time management is to allocate time wisely so you can achieve your goal. Organize your peak study time to coincide with the times of day when you are most owake and alert. Go for other non-study activities as well in rest of the time which are important but lower priority items, such as exercise, music or socializing.
Instead of completing the chapter, I decide to keep it for last and end up leaving the topic unfinished and sometimes untouched. I have to prepare for the exam along with my job because I am the single earning member of my family. I find it hard to manage time. I am going to be a first-time attempter. Is it possible for me to compete with other aspirants who are preparing for months or years? So many failures have damaged my confidence. As the season of competitive examinations is approaching, many of you must be going through such an emotional turmoil during your preparation phase. Nobody other than you knows what you are going through in life. your But students, knowing your own mind is the answer to all these questions. Always remember that you are not the only one struggling throughout. There are many other aspirants who are working hard even after going through hilarious ups and downs in their lives and there are people who won their spurs and are now placed with prestigious government jobs. So, do not sit brooding about the upcoming battle, fearing the outcome. Recognize your share of responsibility and start working on it as it's high time to start your preparations.
Stay focused Remember the fact that when you are on a mission to crack a national level exam, distractions seem a lot sweeter and an area to comfort you from all hard work. But it's momentary, on a bigger picture, it may cost you a bright future. Never forget what should be your priority, everything else can wait. Getting through one of these exams can definitely help solve a few of your problems. So stay concentrated, it will pay big time. Choose the right path Every competitive exam candidate faces one or the other problem. Very few find the right path. Adda247 provides you with the most appropriate guidance. You can find all sorts of strategies to deal with the upcoming season of exams. Enroll in our exam preparation programs as it is impossible for one to crack an exam without continuous practice. Adda247 provides you with Study Notes and Youtube Videos on all the topics that you need to be excellent at, Test Series that simulate the real tests and guide you how to attempt the questions in a way that you are able to attempt maximum number of questions within the given time limit, and quizzes to help you study and keep engaged. There are many E-books available on various topics/ subjects on store.adda247.com. Video Courses I Correspondence Courses too are available for those who cannot join classroom programs but wanted to. You can also apply for Coaching Classes if you think your concepts are not that clear and you are not even able to clear them out on your own.
Failure is a necessity Students, little failures are like potholes on a road. After a while, you know very well where to drive and where not to. So if you fail, don't think it is the end of the world. Ask yourself why you
Best of Luck!!

lease rentaI to the CBO AGEY will be initially implemented in 250 Blocks in the country on pilot basis with each Block provided upto 6 vehicles to operate the transport services. During the current year implementation of the scheme has been so far approved for 52 Blocks in 8 States namely Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttarakhand and West Bengal with a total provision of Rs.16.06 Crore of which the Government of India share would be Rs.10.16 Crore. The balance funding would be provided by the respective States. The Blocks will be selected by States from among the Blocks where NRLM is being implemented intensively and where mature CBOs are already functioning. Backwardness, lack of transportation links and sustainability of service would be the guiding factors in the selection of Blocks and routes. All vehicles under the scheme shall have a defined colour code and carry AGEY branding to ensure their identity and avoid diversion to other routes.

should have taken legal perm1ss1on from concerned authority for renovation work. Taking permission after hiring required architects is useless. And taking permission from concerned authority before asking people of society is not logically right because first step should be taking permission from owner of a building which is to be renovated. Which condition is sufficient to make sure that renovation work will be completed in 6 months? (a) Concerned authority are regularly visiting to renovation site for cross check of work. (b) Builders are planning to make renovation make valid for 15 years. (c) Data insufficient. (d) People of society have given ultimatum to builders to complete renovation in six months otherwise they will go on hunger strike. (e) None of these. Solution: (c) No data is sufficient to make sure that renovation work will be completed in six months. Option (a) is a preventive approach by concerned authority to complete work on time. But it does not make sure that work will be completed in six months. In option (c) people of society are giving just warning to builders. But none option can make sure that work will be completed in six months. Which step of renovation is logically missing in Data flow diagram? (a) If only 30% people gets agree for renovation then Builders should again try to convince people. (b) Builders should take legal permission from concerned authority for renovation. (c) To complete renovation, Builder should take 3-4 time duration slot. (d) Before vacating house people should take suggestions from their relatives. (e) None of these. Solution: (b) In this question you have to find out the hidden information from the given DFD. In this question missing step of renovation is to be find out. So answer will be (b) i.e. Builder should take legal permission from concerned authority for renovation. This topic is one of the most important topic which may come in the Banking Mains exam. So, go through it and try to clear concept of "DFD(Data Flow Diagram)" We have given our best to make you understand the concept of "DFD(Data flow diagram)" and give explanations with example.

Here are FIVE important tips and tricks to solve new pattern doze test: 1. Take a bird's eye view: Read the entire passage to get a rough idea about the overall theme and direction of the passage. z. Understand the tone of discussion: ( Jubilant, livid, lamenting, ambivalent, awed) This will help you eliminate 50% of the irrelevant options. 3. Eliminate with care: Select the word type and options that fall outside the scope of discussion that should be eliminated. 4. Take help of prepositions: The knowledge of how prepositions are used will surely come handy. There are times when looking at preposition alone can fetch you a good score in doze test. 5. Look at what comes before and after: It is always advised to look at the sentences that come before and after the sentence that has blank in it. By doing so, quite often you will get a confirmation or some sort of clue regarding the most appropriate word to fill. Now look at this example: ...... (1)...... {Although)stringent anti-pollution laws, mass awareness levels in India about the need to ...... (Z)...... (pollute) the environment are low. Which is ...... (3)...... {because) many people insist that mere laws won't do: what we ......(4)......(seldom) need are "environment conscious" citizens.
Check your answers: 1. {a); The passage should start with a negative conjunction as the succeeding phrases denote that 'mass awareness levels are low even though we have strict laws'. Hence, Option A is correct. 2. {d); Option E and A are eliminated because from the sentence this is understood that there are stringent pollution laws and even though we have laws, we couldn't secure the environment. Option Dis correct as the sentence can be read as 'need t protect the environment are low'. 3. {b); Option B is the correct choice. Between 'why' and 'because', because can be eliminated as it is used as a negative conjunction. Hence option B is the correct choice. 4. {a); B, C can be eliminated as they give negative connotation when substituted in the given context. Between A and D, option 'A', 'actually', fits right into the sentence and can be read as 'what we actually need is the environment, conscious citizens. Hence, A.

IBPS RRB, IBPS PO, and other insurance exams are around the corner with preparations in full force. We have observed that although candidates are well prepared for GA, quant and reasoning section, they face difficulty in clearing sectional cutoff for English/Verbal Section of these exams. CLOZE TEST in such case can be a great scoring opportunity for any candidate appearing in Govt. job exam as it is asked in the majority of banking recruitment exams for testing language proficiency. The best part about it is that it does not require cramming any formulae or learning many rules. Take a look at how you can solve English doze test to excel in Banking exams.

Chahar will have completed less than 3 laps (as he is slower than Aniket), So he could have travelled a distance of either t - d or 2t - d If we take t - d =>3t - 6d = t - d =>2t = Sd =>d = 0.4t The distance covered by Aniket, Bimlesh and Chahar when

(a); The greatest number in the given range is 888 which does not contain 9, is not a multiple of 13 and whose digits do not add up to 13. Similarly, 500 is such smallest number in the given range. So maximum profit = 888 - 500 = 388 14. (d); Since, runs scored = oversxrun rate. If overs reduce by 25%, run rate will go up by 33.33%. Hence, Australia could have scored any number of runs. 15. (d); Shweta received an extra amount of (Rs.1540 Rs.1400) Rs.140 on his compound interest paying bond as the interest that he received in the first year also earned interest in the second year. The extra interest earned on the compound interest bond = Rs.140 The interest for the first year =1400/2 = Rs.700 Therefore, the rate of interest =140/700 * 100 = 20% p.a. 20% interest means that Shawn received 20% of the amount he invested in the bonds as interest. If 20% of his investment in one of the bonds= Rs.700, then his total investment in each of the bonds= 700/20 * 100 = 3500. As he invested equal sums in both the bonds, his total savings before investing = 2*3500 = Rs.7000= 360

But as can be expected, most of these arguments were too simplistic and ignored the nuances of the two-sided nature of the telecom market and issues that researchers have grappled with for years. As one researcher aptly puts it, "Regulation of termination charges is a Sisyphean task... With the consultancy fees available, there is no likelihood of economists running out of ideas or agreeing with each other." One attraction of the bill-and-keep model is that it will put an end to the endless debate on issues such as what the appropriate model for calculating IUC should be.

After all English is a language and essentially there are two most important aspects of a language its syntax and semantics.If you improve and work on your vocabulary, grammar knowledge, and comprehension skills you can easily deal with any new pattern question.
( phrase) in the question itself and candidates have to identify the correct passage among the given options from where it was inferred. Sentence Rearrangement: These questions of Jumbled sentences also required candidates to apply some logical skills where they asked questions as if a particular sentence if the last sentence then which of the following does not fit the context of passage; or then what will be the order of rearrangement.
In SB/ PO Mains 2017 following were new pattern questions or changes in conventional questions introduced this year: Reading Comprehension:The pattern of RC is not so drastically changed. They've just written Paragraph 1, Pragraph2, etc before each para of the RC and each RC had a set of 5 question with no question based on vocabulary.One new question of paragraph connector was introduced, for example: Which of the following statements can follow paragraph 4 to form a connection with paragraph 5?
Must Do for IBPS PO 2017: English Language • Develop Reading Habits and read newspaper daily to improve comprehension skills • Improve Vocabulary for Fillers and Cloze test questions • Learn English Grammar Rules related to all parts of speech • Memorize all important phrasal verbs • learn all the different type of sentence structures, e.g. Conditionals etc. • For Sentence Rearrangement, learn the connecting words, conjunctions, and prepositional phrases. • For new pattern questions, always read the directions twice, If the direction is clear then you ean easily answer the questions.

Data Analysis and Interpretation Quant section was too lengthy and calculative for most of the candidates as even the questions of D ata Interpretation were topic based-Time and Work, Profit and Loss. Many aspirants felt that this was the toughest section among all in SBI PO Mains 2017 exam. Now clearly candidates cannot think of escaping from the concepts and practice of miscellaneous arithmetic part as apart from arithmetic questions you can also get topic based data interpretation.

Error Detection: In SBI PO Mains there 4 questions of conventional error detection question and 4 questions for a new pattern of error detection. The new format was essentially the same as the conventional one where you have to identify the error in a part of the sentence but here it was presented in a much-twisted way, which led to the tendency of confusion in aspirants. A sentence was divided into three parts and in the question itself, they separately gave improved phrases for all those three parts I ( ), ( I I ) and (111 ). Now the candidates have to identify if the error was in lst part or in two parts or in all parts and the improvement provided for the first, second, or third part is correct or no correction is required in any part and the given sentence if grammatically correct.

Coding-Deooding: This time coding decoding was time-based which also required some basic calculation to solve the questions.
Diagram based Input Output questions: Rather than the conventional machine input-output question this year SBI surprised students with a diagrammatic input-output question where eandidates thems elves had to deduce the logic and relation from figures/ numbers in the diagram and infer the process of transition from one step to the next.
Must Do for IBPS PO 2017: Reasoning Ability • Improve your ealculation speed and accuracy. • Practice with High Level Puzzles and Seating Arrangement questions. • Develop higher order thinking skills.

Article : More Than 20,000 Vacancies Declared In Government Sector Now the most common question that arises in the mind of student is What to prepare and do we have to prepare separately for all these exams?
Vacancies have been raining like Cats and Dogs in past few days. Yes you heard it right!!! More than 20,000 vacancies have been declared in past few days which has brought a delight on the faces of all the aspirants. That one chance or opportunity, you all have been waiting for is here. Both Government and Public sector has released the vacancies for the post of Assistant and Officer in various Government Organizations. We keep whinning about less vacancies or exam pattern change, but it is also true that when a vacancy is declared, we become ignorant enough to let it go just because it has less vacancy. A battle not fought is already lost and this is the most common phenomenon among the community called "Aspirants".
Well, if we talk about the subjects and pattern, then most of the things are common. The main difference is the coverage and types of questions asked. But if we plan everything, then it is not at all a difficult task to accomplish. Most of these exams ask Current Affairs Questions. Few exams have General Studies section which includes History, Polity, Geography and Economics. So once you get a hold of the General studies section then it wiII become easier for you to attempt all these exams. Reasoning, English and Quantitative Aptitude is common for all the exams. These subjects have limited syllabus and one can easily get a grasp of it just by practicing daily. With this edition of Magazine, you will have a lot to practice.
Well, to justify the title written above, I would like to produce some facts and figures that will help you understand that how these vacancies are more than 20,000. If we start with IBPS RRB Recruitment 2017, we can see that more than 13,000 vacancies have been reported by participating banks. IBPS has also released the recruitment of Probationary Officers in the participating banks where the vacancies are 3562 which will increase. 4 Public sector banks have not reported the vacancies yet but they will, before the process ends. Moving forward, we have Indian Meteorological Department, Intelligence Bureau and ISRO which take this count above 20,000.

We as human have a tendency to wait for Mass Vacancies like SSC and IBPS, but you all need to remember that the competition for these vacancies are proportionally higher. Many students leave the small number of vacancies due to the lack of confidence. You just need to grab an opportunity which comes your way. Forget the barriers and start looking for the change that you need to adapt for these vacancies. These vacancies are available in abundance, you are the one who need to decide which one to pick for yourself.

West, ought to be concerned and join forces to combat this menace. Much of the world, including many in India, ascribes most of the ills afflicting the region of West Asia today to the United States. There is justification for this belief to some extent. In particular, it can be asserted, with reasonable objectivity, that the illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003 by the George W Bush administration on the most egregious excuse of non-existent weapons of mass destruction is largely responsible for the chaotic and explosive situation in West Asia. That single misadventure cost America more than 4,500 lives and $1 trillion, but the cost being borne by the region and its people, as well as by people beyond the region, is incalculable in terms of instability, growth of terrorism and the sectarian strife that it ignited. The motivation of the Bush adm inistration was a mix of oil and Israeli pressure. It deflected attention and resources from what was then a winnable war on al-Qaeda. But that is all history. There is also the gross mishandling of the Syrian situation by the West, which has made possible the emergence of phenomena such as Jabhat al-Nusra and the IS. However, now is not the time to apportion blame or responsibility; there will be time enough for that. Hillary Clinton, who has already launched her presidential campaign in anticipation of the Democratic Party's nomination, has openly criticised her former boss, President Barack Obama, for lack of firmness in dealing with the Bashar al-Assad regime. The priority ought to be to collectively deliberate on how to confront the present and clear danger posed by the IS. The IS is a bigger threat than its progenitor, al-Qaeda. It has by far more funds than al-Qaeda; indeed, it is the richest terrorist organisation in the world. It has modern weaponry, including tanks and anti-aircraft missiles, looted from the Iraqi army that was equipped by the Americans, as well as from the Assad regime. It has a force of more than 10,000 fighters capable of waging set-piece battles. It is tech-sawy and uses social media most effectively, not only in Arabic but also in several European and Asian languages. It collects taxes and imposes its brand of law and order. It calls itself a Khilafat or caliphate, and its CEO calls himself the Amir; he is both the secular and religious leader. The IS has the ideology that appeals to Muslim youth across the world. All in all, the IS is a deadly entity and should be treated as such. The geographical map of the region has already changed and will change further. The boundary between Iraq and Syria has been obliterated for all practical purposes, with IS fighters operating freely on both sides. Indeed, the capital of this Islamic state is in Raqqa in Syria. It has also captured at least one village in Lebanon. It will no doubt manage to add to the instability in Jordan. If Jordan gets infected, can Saudi Arabia remain immune for long?

Certain words/ phrases have been bold to help carefully And answer locate them while you answering some of the questions. When things in your life seem given in almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise Jar... and the Coffee ... A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the Jar was full.They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the Jar. He shook the Jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the Jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the Jar was full. The students responded unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two cups of Coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the Jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. "Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you recognise that this Jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things, your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions, things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full."The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the Jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls." The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities.The rest is just sand. One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Coffee represented.The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of Coffee with your

areas of social development. At the same time, it is not a blind opening, but a self-conscious one, not a disorganized opening but a systematic one. China's opening proceeds and deepens in a gradual and step by step fashion.It started from the 4 special economic zones, to coastal cities, then to capital cities of inland provinces and now it has reached an unprecedented stage of all-round opening demonstrated by China's accession to the World Trade Organization. During its opening-up, China paid special attention to give full play to its comparative advantages to actively conduct international cooperation and competition. For instance, China has fully exploited its advantages of low cost of labour to attract foreign investment and technology to push economic development and better efficiency and quality of economic growth. These measures have brought the Chinese economy increasingly integrated with the world economy. China has learnt many lessons and accumulated rich experiences in dealing with globalisation from its practice of reform and opening-up. To adopt opening-up policy. It opens not only to developed countries, but also to developing countries, not only in economic field, but also in all areas of social development. At the same time, it is not a blind opening, but a self-conscious one, not a disorganized opening but a systematic one. China's opening proceeds and deepens in a gradual and step by step fashion. It started from the 4 special economic zones, to coastal cities, then to capital cities of inland provinces and now it has reached an unprecedented stage of all-round opening demonstrated by China's accession to the World Trade Organization. During its opening-up, China paid special attention to give full play to its comparative advantages to actively conduct international cooperation and competition. China's participation in Globalization is by no means a one way street. When the world economic growth remains weak, China's economy is one of the few bright spots. As World Bank Report on Global Development Finance 2003 published in early April pointed out that China's fast growth "helped to drive the recovery in East Asia. Together with policy stimulus in other countries, China's performance lifted the region to growth of 6. 7 % in 2002, up from 5.5% in 2001.China has also provided the world with the largest rising market. When more than 1.25 billion people become well-off, the demand on everything will be enormous. Just to give you an example, in the coming 10 years alone, China will import USS 2 trillion of goods from the outside world. It goes without saying that we are also facing many challenges. For instance, with the accession to the WTO, China is faced with growing pressure from international competition. China's enterprises have to cope with fiercer competition not only at international market, but at home market as well. Nevertheless, opening the country to the outside world is China's basic and long-term state policy. China is committed to opening still wider to the outside world in an

Directions (71-77): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. Globalization is the objective trend of economic development in the world today, featured by free flow and optimized allocation of capital, technology, information and service in the global context . It is the inevitable result of the development of productive forces and advances of science and technology, especially the revolution of information technology since the 1980s and 1990s. The influence of globalization on countries at different stages of development is entirely different. The "dividends" derived from globalization are not fairly distributed. The developed countries have apparent advantages in capital, technology, human resources and administrative expertise and in setting the "rules of the game". They are usually the biggest beneficiaries of globalization. The developing countries on the other hand are on the whole in an unfavorably position. Developing countries can obtain some foreign investment, advanced technologies and management expertise, but at the same time they are the most vulnerable to the negative impacts of globalization and lack the ability to effectively fend off and reduce the risks and pitfalls that come along with globalization. In the 1990s, especially in recent years, the gap between the North and the South has further widened. The economic sovereignty and economic security of the developing countries are confronted with enormous pressure and stern challenges. Some least-developed countries are even on the brink of being marginalized by globalization. Therefore, in participation of globalization, developing countries should always be on alert and try by all means to exploit the advantages and avoid all kinds of risk and harm. In the past 20-odd years, China has maintained an annual growth rate of over 9.3% on average. China is now the 6th largest economy and the 5th largest trading nation in the world. More than 200 million people have been lifted out of poverty. The above accomplishments were achieved against the backdrop of a volatile international situation. The reason why China was so successful in such a short period of time and in a constantly changing international environment is because China has found its own road of development i.e, to base what we do on the realities of China while sticking to the basic system of socialism, reforms should be carried out to solve the problems of incompatibility between the productive forces and the relations of production, and between economic base and the superstructure, so as to achieve self-perfection of socialism. Every country is different from the other. It opens not only to developed countries, but also to developing countries, not only in economic field, but also in all

"low-hanging fruit." They have their place, but in the repertory of management --84-, they should share their place with bold approaches to big challenges. Much of today's most valuable management knowledge came from wrestling with such issues. The most complicated workplace in the middle of the last century was the automobile assembly plant. Drawn to its complexity where Peter F. Drucker, W. Edwards Deming, and Taiichi Ohno, among others. The work they and their disciples did, applied in industry after industry, is the basis of the best that we know about operations, managing people, innovation, organizational design, and much more. The most complex workplaces are tertiary care hospitals. These vast --85-- employ tens of thousands of people who, under one roof, do everything from neurosurgery to laundry. Each patient - that is to say, each "job" - calls on a different set of people with a different constellation of -86---; even when the two patients have the same diagnosis, success may be --87- differently. This is complexity of an order of magnitude greater than automobile assembly, and anyone who --88--- hospitalized knows that management has thus far been unequal to the scope of task.

Organisation for Economic Co-oporation and Development (OECD) estimates that global pension funds have just 0.9% of their portfolios in pure infrastructure.In part that is due to the OECD's decision to define infrastructure assets as unlisted debt and eq uity. But pension funds have significant exposure to listed shares and bonds of power companies and the like. From the point of view of public policy, however, the OECD's definition is the correct one. The utility shares owned by pension funds are those of power companies that were privatised in the 1980s and 1990s; the infrastructure they operate was the result of Govt spending in previous decades. Governments would like to see more infrastructure get built, though at the moment public finances are very tight. They would rather not bear the whole burden. The difficult bit about infrastructure projects apart from the original decision to commission them is the cost of construction. That is where governments would like pension funds, and the rest of the private sector to open their wallets. Risk is clearly one important factor. Pension funds want reliable cashflows that can be used to pay retirees, not the uncertainties that are associated with projects. As the OECD report points out, there is a lack of objective high-quality data on infrastructure investments. This makes it difficult for funds to calculate how infrastructure would fit into their portfolios. Another problem is that small pension funds may lack the expertise to get involved in such large projects. They have to invest via an infrastructure fund and pay a management fee for the privilege. The biggest infrastructure investors so far have been the giant Australian and Canadian pension funds, which can benefit from economies of scale. Britain is trying to achieve the same effect by setting up Pensions Investment Platform which will pool infrastructure investments. However, the scheme has been slow to get going and not been sufficient to fund Britain's highest-profile project, a proposed high-speed rail-line. Additional problems include the lack of political certainty. Capital spending is often the first item to be cut when governments run into budget difficulties and tough decisions are put off to suit electoral cycles. One possible solution is for governments to borrow a separate sum to finance infrastructure spending with the stated intention of selling assets to the likes of pension funds over a number of years. Such debt could be recorded separately in the national accounts. An alternative option could be a NationalInvestment Bank along the lines of the EuropeanInvestment Bank. It would borrow from the market and use its capital to guarantee the equity portion of infrastructure projects. That would allow pension funds to buy the more secure debt elements of the project's funding.The need is clear. Among the G-7 countries, only Italy is recorded as having worse infrastructure.There is no shortage of potential funding - Britain's pension assets are equal to 112% of GDP. Clearly they can be put together. The Olympics showed that Britain can build projects on time when the country puts its mind to it. 81. Which of the following is the role of Pensions Investment
