THANKS SO MUCH,, IT MEANS THE WORLD TO US IN THESE DIFFICULT TIMES
However already during the filming there were scuffles and violent demonstrations near the shul, forcing the producers to stop the filming and search for a shul in another neighborhood in order to continue shooting the clip.
The Badatz (Beis Din Tzedek of Jerusalem) issued a strong protest against the filming inside a shul, calling its producers mockers and scorners, who make fun of holy Jewish minhagim of a kiddush, a shalom zachar and the birth of a daughter and even dressed in the garb of Yerushalmim with the shtreimels, caftans, etc. The Badatz notes the inappropriate level of consumption of alcohol and meat and wine while singing Shabbos songs – and says that the actors look like the Reform who sang in shul and did things of pleasure there. They call this an unprecedented disgrace and desecration of the holiness of Shabbos, besides the general issue of producing “kosher” movies and videos.
The Badatz also called the producer before the beis din warned him about this and he promised he would not spread his merchandise, but the clip has now been published and therefore the Badatz issued a strong protest against the producer.
The Democrats had a lousy week. It began with former President Donald Trump’s acquittal in the Senate.
Trump’s acquittal was a major blow to the Democrats. It isn’t that anyone believed Trump would be convicted. Whether Republicans love or hate the former president, the fact is that it is unconstitutional to hold an impeachment trial for a former officeholder. And for that reason alone, there was no chance that more than a smattering of Republicans would support the move.
But once the farcical trial ended, public focus moved to the Democrats—who now control both houses of Congress and the White House. True, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is already planning to drag Trump back to center stage with her “January 6 Truth Commission.” But that won’t happen for several months. And in the meantime, for the first time in five years, the Democrats find themselves, and their actions, the focus of public attention.
After a nearly a year of Cuomo being lavished with adulation for his leadership of the coronavirus pandemic in New York, upheld as the future of the Democratic Party, touted as a possible candidate for Attorney General and even winning an Emmy for his press conferences, the truth has caught up with “America’s governor.”

| An aerial view of what is likely the biblical city of Ziklag. |
While surveying the Elah Valley in 2007, archaeologist Saar Ganor looked around and saw something strange protruding from the ground. On further examination, he wondered if it could be part of an ancient city. His guess was right, and the resulting excavations carried out by Yosef Garfinkel of the Hebrew University and Ganor, Ashkelon District archaeologist at the Israel Antiquities Authority, revealed what appeared to be a Judean city.
Located on the southern border of Judah, and with two notable gates, the site — now known as the Qeiyafa Fortress — was very possibly the Shaaraim (“Two Gates”) mentioned in the Bible, dating back to the 10th century BCE when David reigned as king.
For years afterward, Ganor hoped he might one day come across another settlement from the time of David. And in 2013, striding along a hill while involved in a major survey of the 1,000 acres between Kiryat Gat and Beit Guvrin, a piece of clay caught his eye. Excited, he showed it to Garfinkel. To their delight, it belonged to the exact same era as Qeiyafa. An added bonus: the hill, when excavated, also revealed findings from a Philistine town mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.

| The Israeli woman who crossed into Syria and was returned in a deal brokered by Russia, in a picture shown by Channel 12 on February 20, 2021 |
Hebrew media on Saturday showed the first images of the Israeli woman who crossed into Syria two weeks ago, and was returned under a murky deal brokered by Russia. Her Facebook posts had her defiantly vowing that “No fence will stop me.”
The images were shown as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that no Israeli vaccine doses have been sent to Syria as part of the deal to secure her freedom.
The release of the young woman was secured in recent days after over a week of diplomatic wrangling. She landed at Ben Gurion International Airport on a flight from Russia in the early hours of Friday morning.
On Saturday evening, Channel 12 and Channel 13 published several images of the woman that were blurred, to prevent her from being identified.
The pictures, as well as video clips, taken from her Facebook page, show the woman out and about in glorious natural surroundings.
“No fence will stop me,” she writes in one post cited by Channel 13.
The woman, whose name has not been released for publication, is said to be a 25-year-old from Modiin Illit.
The woman’s crossing into Syria earlier this month was not her first time attempting to cross Israel’s borders. According to Israeli authorities, she had twice tried to enter the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip — once by land and once on a makeshift raft — and once attempted to cross into Jordan. All three times she was captured by either the military or the police.
A 32-year-old woman diagnosed with Covid-19, pregnant at week 30, died last night in the intensive care unit at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital. Efforts to revive the fetus were also unsuccessful.
The woman has been identified as Osnat Ben Shitrit of Givat Zeev near Jerusalem. She leaves behind a husband and 4 children.
The young woman in advanced pregnancy was hospitalized due to respiratory distress in the intensive care unit for corona patients at Hadassah Ein Kerem last Tuesday, when she was in critical condition.
Last night her condition deteriorated and she developed a multi-system failure. A senior multidisciplinary team was called to the unit, including intensive care and anesthesia specialists, obstetricians and gynecologists, an ECMO team and heart and chest surgeons.
The hospital notes that the team began immediate treatment and performed very prolonged resuscitation, and even performed a caesarean section (at week 30) in order to try and save the fetus.
However, the condition of the mother and the fetus was critical and the mother and baby ultimately passed away.
"The staff at the Corona Intensive Care Unit and the specialists who were called to treat the woman and baby are in emotional turmoil. The rescue efforts involved many partners from all over the hospital who fought for the mother and baby's lives. All of Hadassah shares in the deep grief of the family. The social service staff at the hospital is accompanying them in their time of distress," the hospital said.
Canada is poised to take on Facebook, following the example set by Australia, which began a war with the tech giant when the country’s publishers backed proposed legislation demanding payment for their content.
Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault condemned Facebook’s actions as “highly irresponsible” last week when the social media giant removed all Australian news content from its sites in retaliation.
Guilbeault warned that Canada would be next in making sure Facebook paid for news content from Canadian publishers. Guilbeault is charged with drafting legislation in the next few months that would require Facebook and Alphabet Inc’s Google to pay up.
“Canada is at the forefront of this battle … we are really among the first group of countries around the world that are doing this,” Guilbeault told reporters.
Guilbeault said he recently met with government ministers from Australia, Finland, France and Germany to hammer out a common front with respect to Google and Facebook, the Globe and Mail reported.
As winners never fail to remind losers, elections have consequences. But rarely is there a single day where consequences pack as much wallop as Friday, where the irrationality of Joe Biden’s policies came into full view.
From the border with Mexico, where the new administration started opening the doors to at least 25,000 migrants seeking asylum, to the Mideast tinderbox, where it moved to rejoin the misbegotten Iran nuke deal, the new president appears fixated by the desire to turn back the clock to 2016.
It’s as if Biden has been seized by a sentimental longing to try to make the world like it was when the Obama-Biden administration left office. Unfortunately, “The Way We Were” is a nice song but not much of a guide to the future.
Still, trying to recapture the past would be reasonable if those years had created prosperity at home and peace abroad. In fact, the world Donald Trump inherited was bristling with trouble and America’s economy was moving forward at a snail’s pace.
Despite revisionist efforts by the media and the left to erase the achievements of the president they hated, Trump had major policy successes that benefited all Americans. It’s especially unnerving, then, that Biden is choosing to reverse the very policies that produced those benefits.
Trump Derangement Syndrome leads people to do weird things, but Biden’s attempt to cancel Trump’s biggest victories is among the weirdest.
Go figure!
Hundreds of worshippers reportedly armed with 'cobbles and sticks' rushed to protect the sacred Ark of the Covenant as brutal fighting in Ethiopia neared the church where it is said to be secured.
As skirmishes broke out between soldiers and rebel fighters in the holy city of Axum, in the Tigray region, worshippers rushed to defend the Church of St Mary of Zion.
A local university lecturer claimed to The Times that some people 'were killed' after running to 'support priests and others protecting the ark' at the church.
The ark is described in the Bible as an ornate wooden casket which houses stone tablets etched with the Ten Commandments. It is said to have been in the Axum church since the 1960s.
Up to 800 people are believed to have been killed in the fighting, which took place in November but news of which has only just emerged because the region has been cut off from outsiders.
A shocking video filmed at the monastery of Debre Abay, south-west of Axum, appears to show the aftermath of a war crime carried out by Ethiopian soldiers.
They are seen joking and laughing as they walk among the bodies of villagers.
Ethnic violence over land and resources has been a persistent problem in Ethiopia under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who came to office in April 2018.
Ethiopian forces and soldiers from neighbouring Eritrea have for months been fighting troops loyal to the former Tigrayan regional government.
Thousands have been killed and millions put on the brink of starvation.
The fighting at the Church of St Mary of Zion, between Eritrean soldiers and rebel Tigrayan militia, saw up to 800 people killed.
The world's media has been largely cut off from the region since the fighting began.
Getu Mak, 32, a university lecturer told The Times: 'When people heard the shooting, they ran to the church to give support to the priests and others protecting the ark.
'Certainly some of them were killed for doing that.'
The defenders of the ark reportedly armed themselves with only 'cobbles and sticks', according to witnesses who spoke to the Belgium-based non-governmental Europe External Programme with Africa.
Getu added that worshippers were worried the ark would be taken from the church 'to Eritrea, to [Ethiopian capital] Addis Ababa' or may disappear entirely.
A day after the killings at the church, Eritrean forces reportedly went looking for people sympathetic to the rebel Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF).
Getu said there was 'no mercy' and even the young and old were targeted.
And the horrifying video filmed at Debre Abay monastery and posted on social media showed pools of blood and the ground strewn with dozens of bodies.
Groans could be heard from one seriously injured man who was seen on the floor, lying between corpses.
The soldiers could be seen laughing as they talked to each other following what appears to have been a mass execution.
Ethnic violence over land and resources has been a persistent problem in Ethiopia under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who came to office in April 2018.
The internet and mobile phone networks have been shut off in Tigray.
A 95-year-old former Nazi concentration camp guard has been deported from the United States and arrived Saturday in his native Germany where he is being held by police for questioning, authorities said.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said in a statement that Friedrich Karl Berger was sent back to Germany for serving as a guard of a Neuengamme concentration camp subcamp in 1945.
Berger, who had retained German citizenship, was deported for taking part in 'Nazi-sponsored acts of persecution', the department said.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice.
German authorities confirmed Berger arrived Saturday at Frankfurt and was handed over to Hesse state investigators for questioning, the dpa news agency reported.
Democrats want to make Donald Trump’s death as miserable as they tried to make his life in office.
The Democrats began trying to politically kill off Donald Trump before he took office and now they want to kill off his memory up to and after he leaves this mortal coil.
California Democrat Congresswoman Linda Sanchez has introduced a bill to deprive President Trump of the typical honors of every former president. And no secretary, either.
Her bill, HR 484, is called the “No Glory for Hate Act,” and seeks to deprive the former president from being buried in Arlington National Cemetery or to have any kind of memorials erected in his honor.
Attorney and GOP activist Harmeet Dhillon has a question for Sanchez and her co-sponsors.
This is pathetic, even for you, House Democrats. I heard some of you went to law school. Ever heard of a bill of attainder?
Or as I put it, the dude’s out of office, you didn’t kill him then, you can’t kill him now. Knock this crap off.
I was very young on that May day in 1960, helping my Auschwitz survivor mother in the kitchen when the radio announced:
“The Nazi war criminal the architect of the “Final Solution” is in Israel and will stand trial.”
As our once large family lost 98 percent of its members to Adolf Eichmann’s death trains to Auschwitz, my mom’s first tearful, then angry, reaction was simply indescribable.
That moment will never leave my soul.
In May 1960, Argentina was celebrating the 150th anniversary of its revolution against Spain, and many tourists were traveling to Argentina from abroad to attend the festivities. The Mossad used the opportunity to smuggle a team of experienced agents into the country as a Jewish-born German prosecutor, Fritz Bauer from the city of Hessen, passed information to Israel that Eichmann was hiding in Buenos Aires under the alias Ricardo Clement.
Knowing that Argentina might never extradite Eichmann for trial, Israel had decided to abduct him and take him to Israel illegally.
On May 11, a crack team of hand-picked Mossad operatives descended on Garibaldi Street in San Fernando and under the supervision of legendary operative Raffi Eitan Mossad legend Peter Zvi Malkin physically captured Eichmann as he was walking from the bus to his home. The operation was directed by then-head of the Mossad Isser Harel. (Years later, several members of the capture team-related details of the operation to me personally.)
Eichmann’s family called local hospitals but not the police, and Argentina knew nothing of the operation.
On May 20, a drugged Eichmann was flown out of Argentina disguised as an Israeli airline worker who had suffered head trauma in an accident.
On May 23, Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion announced to the world that Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann has been captured and would stand trial in Israel.
Eichmann, the Nazi SS officer who organized Adolf Hitler’s “final solution of the Jewish question,” was by then in the hands of an Israel Police captain, the German-speaking Avner Less, and interrogators in Israel’s maximum-security Ramla prison.
For nine months, Less served as Eichmann’s interrogator, questioning him daily for a total of 275 hours. He was the only investigator allowed to speak to Eichmann. The transcripts of the interrogation were forwarded to prosecutors. In 1961, Less testified and was cross-examined at Eichmann’s trial. Extracts from the interrogation of Eichmann by Less have been published in the 1983 book “Eichmann Interrogated.”
Argentina demanded Eichmann’s return, but Israel argued that his status as an international war criminal gave them the right to proceed with a trial. On April 11, 1961, Eichmann’s trial began in Jerusalem.
It was the first televised trial in history.

In his opening speech at the trial Attorney General Gideon Hausner said: “When I stand before you here, Judges of Israel, to lead the prosecution of Adolf Eichmann, I am not standing alone. With me are 6 million accusers. But they cannot rise to their feet and point an accusing finger towards him who sits in the dock and cry: “I accuse!” For their ashes are piled up on the hills of Auschwitz and the fields of Treblinka, and are strewn in the forests of Poland. Their graves are scattered throughout the length and breadth of Europe. Their blood cries out, but their voice is not heard. Therefore, I will be their spokesman, and, in their name, I will unfold the terrible indictment.”
Eichmann faced 15 charges, including crimes against humanity, crimes against the Jewish people and war crimes.
He claimed that he was just following orders, but the judges disagreed, finding him guilty on all counts on Dec. 15 and sentencing him to die.
On May 31, 1962, Eichmann was hanged at a prison in Ramla hours later.
The hanging, scheduled for midnight, was slightly delayed and thus took place a few minutes past midnight on 1 June 1962.
The execution was attended by a small group of officials; four journalists, including Holocaust survivor and Hungarian-Jewish “Uj Kelet” journalist Dr. Paul Benedek; as well as spymaster Raffi Eitan.
Eitan claimed in 2014 to have heard Eichmann later mumble, “I hope that all of you will follow me,” making those his final words.
‘I guarded him for six months in Ramla’
And this is where my story begins. As I was a close friend of the Mossad Operations Chief Peter Malkin and as the child of Holocaust survivors whose large family was sent to their deaths in Auschwitz by Eichmann, I tried to uncover as many small details as possible to the capture, trial and execution of that unrepentant Nazi.
Most of those involved in Israel’s first and only execution in 1962 are no longer living. But the guard who spent most of Eichmann’s incarceration guarding him closely in his cell around the clock—a soft-spoken, pious Yemen-born man named Shalom Nagar—was brought to the limelight some years ago when an Israeli radio station wanted to produce an anniversary program of Eichmann’s capture and hanging.
After sifting through prison records and following tips from former prison employees, Nagar, was located and asked to reveal the memories he had stored away for so many years.
At the time, having retired from the Prisons Services, he was living in Kiryat Arba and learning in Kollel from dawn to midnight.
Nagar spoke about his time guarding the Nazi war criminal, saying: “I guarded him for six months in Ramla.
“I was one of the 22 guards. We were called ‘Eichmann’s guards.’ They put him in a special wing on the second floor. We called it Eichmann’s ‘apartment.’ There were actually five rooms. We worked in 24-hour shifts and then went home for 48 hours. While guarding him, we’d switch off: We’d sit with him for three hours, then rest; then three more hours sitting with him and three more hours’ rest. And so on. There was one guard always in Eichmann’s room, which was always me. In addition, there was another guard in the next room to guard me and Eichmann.
“And there was another guard in a third room to guard the two of us! See how well-guarded it was! And this was already the most secure prison in Israel. He was protected by so many guards because there was reason to believe that he might want to take his own life, and we were to prevent that at all costs.
“They didn’t trust anyone. Whenever his attorney came, I’d lead Eichmann in from one side while the lawyer would come from the other side. They sat across from each other with a bullet-proof glass between them and used a microphone to communicate. They could speak, but not actually touch or pass anything because the lawyer might pass him poison or something.
“During the entire Eichmann trial, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion personally made sure that any prison guards in the vicinity of Eichmann on the sealed-off second floor of the prison were Sephardic, as he was certain that Ashkenazi Jews whose families were among the millions sent to their deaths by Eichmann would harm him.
“For years, I was sworn to secrecy. My commanders feared reprisals from neo-Nazis and others who thought Eichmann was a hero. But Isser Harel, the Mossad chief in charge of Eichmann’s capture in Argentina, had already written a book about it, so what did I have to fear? Besides, I was involved in the great mitzvah of wiping out Amalek.”
‘We were a unit of 22 guards’
Shalom Nagar recalls the events that led up to that fateful night. “I was working as a guard for the Prisons Services then, after finishing the army and working for the Border Police. At first, Eichmann was brought to a prison in Yagur outside of Haifa. He was transferred to Ramle Prison, where I worked, for the last six months of his life.
“We were a unit of 22 guards, known as the ‘Eichmann guards,’ carefully selected to make sure that we had no revenge motives. After all, it was only 16 years after the Holocaust, and many prison employees had either gone through the camps or had lost family. They were disqualified. Eichmann’s ‘apartment,’ as we called it, was in a special wing on the second floor, but no Ashkenazi guards were allowed up. There were five rooms, one overlooking the other.
“For six months, I guarded him, facing his cell in the innermost room, standing in close proximity where he rested, wrote his memoirs, ate and used the facilities. He was extremely clean and washed his hands compulsively. One reason for our careful supervision was that he might have wanted to take his own life, and we were to prevent that at all costs. Outside of my room was another room overlooking it, with a guard who watched over both me and Eichmann. In the next room was the duty officer, who guarded all of us. And the last room is where we rested during shift changes.
“Food was brought in locked containers to prevent any attempt at poisoning. Still, before I gave him his meal, I had to taste it myself. If I didn’t drop dead after two minutes, the duty officer allowed the plate into his cell.
“There were guards who had numbers on their arms, but they weren’t allowed onto the second floor. However, before we were clear about this rule, one guard from downstairs, Blumenfeld, who had survived the camps, asked if he could switch with me one night. I assumed he just wanted to get a look at the man who destroyed his family. Anyway, we were all in the same unit, so I figured, why not?
“Blumenfeld approached the door of the cell and rolled up his sleeve. ‘Once I was in your hands, and now the tables have turned. Look who has the last laugh.’ It was the middle of the night, and Eichmann jumped up from his bed and started ranting in German. I, of course, couldn’t follow the conversation, but from then on we had clear instructions: No switching or we’d get court-martialed.”
Nagar, a former paratrooper and decorated soldier who was an orphan in Yemen during World War II, was approached by Avraham Merchavi, the head warden.
“I said maybe he should find someone else to do the job. Then Merchavi took me and several other guards and showed us the footage of how the Nazis took innocent children and tore them to pieces. I was so shaken that I agreed to whatever had to be done.”
At the same time, a man named Pinchas Zeklikovsky was summoned by the police for a special mission. Zeklikovsky, whose family was wiped out by the Nazis, worked for an oven factory in Petach Tikvah.
He was asked to build an oven the size of a man’s body, which would reach 1,800°C. He worked on the oven in the factory, telling inquirers that it was a special order for a factory in Eilat that burned fish bones.
On the afternoon of May 31, 1962, after the other workers left, an army truck rolled into the oven factory and loaded on the oven. Under heavy guard, the oven made its way to Ramla prison.
The world knew that Eichmann’s days were limited, but his hanging was made public only after the fact.
All the preparations were done secretly, for fear of sabotage by Eichmann supporters. Streets around the prison were cordoned off for several blocks that afternoon.
‘I didn’t see anyone else there’
Meanwhile, that same day, Shalom Nagar was on a 48-hour furlough.
He was walking with his wife, Orah, and infant son in his Holon neighborhood when a police van screeched to a halt in front of him and pulled him inside. It was his colleague, Merchavi. Nagar knew immediately what this special invitation was about.
“I realized I had won the ‘lottery,’ ” he said.
“But I told him, ‘You now have a problem, because although you want the hanging kept top secret, my wife thinks I’ve been kidnapped. She’ll call the police.’ He agreed, and the car made a quick reverse, so I could explain to my wife that this was my commanding officer and that I’d be working late.
“We arrived at Ramla Prison, and I was given a stretcher, some sheets and bandages, and was told to go and wait downstairs.
“Upstairs, Eichmann was with the priest, and according to his last wish, was given a glass of wine.
“By the time I was summoned, the noose was already around his neck, and he was standing on a specially-made trapdoor which would open under him when I would pull the lever.”
According to an official account, there were supposedly two people who would pull the lever simultaneously, so neither would know for sure by whose hand Eichmann died.
But Nagar says he knows nothing about that. “I didn’t see anyone else there. It was just me and Eichmann. I was standing a few feet from him and looked him straight in the eye. He refused to have his face covered, and he was still wearing those trademark checkered slippers. Then I pulled the lever and he fell, dangling by the rope.”
For years, I had nightmares of those moments. His face was white as chalk, his eyes were bulging, and his tongue was dangling out.
After an hour, Nagar and Merchavi went downstairs to release the body. A scaffold had been built in order to reach him to take him off the gallows.
“Merchavi told me to climb the scaffold and lift him, and then he would loosen the rope. For years I had nightmares of those moments. His face was white as chalk, his eyes were bulging, and his tongue was dangling out. The rope rubbed the skin off his neck, and his tongue and chest were covered with blood. I didn’t know that when a person is strangled all the air remains in his stomach. So when I lifted him, all the air that was inside came out and the most horrifying sound was released from his mouth—‘baaaahhhh’—I felt the Angel of Death had come to take me, too.
“Finally, a few other guards arrived, and we managed to get him onto the stretcher we had prepared earlier.
“We took him to the other side of the courtyard, where the oven was waiting. One of the guards, his name was Luchs and he had been in Auschwitz, was given the job of heating the oven. The oven was so hot it was impossible to get too close. So, they’d built tracks so that the stretcher could slide into it. It was my job to push the stretcher into the oven, but I was shaking so hard that the body kept rolling from side to side. Finally, I was able to push him in, and we closed the doors.”
Nagar was slated to escort the ashes to the port, but he was in such a state of trauma that Merchavi had him sent home with an escort. In the very early hours of the morning, the ashes were removed from the oven and transported by police van to Jaffa Port, where a Coast Guard boat carried them beyond Israel’s territorial waters so that they would not defile the Holy Land.
‘The last living hero of the era’
Shalom Nagar had a hard life, but he always remained optimistic. He faced the most difficult time when his beloved son Noam succumbed to cancer. He went on to become one of the first to live in Kiryat Arba, “Town of the Four,” an urban Israeli settlement on the outskirts of Hebron in the Judean Mountains region of the West Bank. His deep faith never left him.
I decided to tell this story now in all of its details because my mom, who survived Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, never got to hear it.
A couple of weeks ago, an early-morning phone call woke me.
The call came from a former Israeli Intelligence operative Avner Avraham, the founder of Spylegends.com, who reached out to me to let me know that the last survivor of the era—Nagar, who dispatched Eichmann to his well-deserved hell—is now living at his modest home in poor medical condition during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown cared for by a son.
Within minutes after receiving a WhatsApp photo of the ailing man, I was on the phone reaching out to my best connections in Israel to immediately find a suitable, medically supervised, first-rate senior home for the last living hero of an era.
Everyone acted immediately.
Within an hour, I spoke with a number of descendants of Holocaust families in North America, and they all offered to help finance the proper care for Shalom Nagar.
I am happy in the knowledge that at the time of this writing, he is enjoying the care of top doctors and nurses. He participates in the daily prayer services and is very happy.
Having been able to help him find a comfortable, safe and well-staffed retirement home in Jerusalem will always be something that I feel good about. I did this in the name of the millions of martyrs, my many family members among them.
