Psychology has taught me scientifically that, 'to every problem there is a solution'.. I personally believe that "Everything is in mind".A Positive Attitude & healthy state of mind and emotion is the key to happiness 😊
MENTAL HEALTH :I CARE ,Let’s Talk : BREAK THE STIGMA
..Anything that’s human is mentionable & anything that is mentionable can be more manageable.. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting and less scary…
“…What Mental Health needs is more sunlight, more candor & more unashamed conversation.. “
You don’t have to be positive all the time. It’s perfectly okay to feel sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, scared & anxious.
..having ‘ feelings ‘ doesn’t make you a negative person, It makes you ‘human’ ..
In general, Mental Health is when one has the capability to bear the mental stress/fatigue or to counter Psychological pressure. There is always some background one can rely upon. Strong social background always help to counter Mental stress. People who feel isolated are more prone to mental stress.
According to Clinical Psychology :
Mental Health includes number of dimensions like self-esteem , realization of potential, ability to maintain fulfilling managing relationship and Psychological well being. Mental illness is a form of deviant behavior. It arises when individual feelings deviate from normal expectations.
“….Mental health is adjustment of human behavior to world and to other individuals with maximum effectiveness & happiness… “
* Mental health is achieved using combination of 3 methods :
. Preventive : It is a process of making small regular decisions and taking positive action on health, diet, exercise and lifestyle.
. Curative : Curative health care is required by people when they are sick. This refers to the process of treatment once a problem develops; the treatment should be started as quickly as possible and should be continued as advised by the medical professional.
. Preservative : It is the process of maintaining health, preventing illness and extending life span.

STATE OF MIND & MENTAL HEALTH :
State of mind is nothing but a ,…
..a temporary psychological state..
* A person’s mood and the effect that mood has on the person’s thinking and behavior is the state of mind of an individual.
…’state of mind’ is a ‘mental state’ that has an “agent” in it.. agents like, love, hate, pleasure & pain and attitude toward propositions such as believing that, conceiving that, hoping and fearing that etc..attitudes,feelings,mood,temper,spirit etc of an individual defines it…
* our state of mind affects our mental health directly and it is noticeable in our behavior. If we are happy it is seen. If we are sad it is seen but what if a person is unable to express and keep the turbulence inside? Can lead to dangerous outcome .
…healthy state of mind and emotions leads to a healthy mental state of an individual…
Emotions, body feelings and thoughts share distributed ‘neural networks’
…we need to recognize what state of mind we are in… We label things and experiences to help us understand how they fit with the world around us…
Let’s explore and understand state of mind that exists and affects directly our mental health, personality,and perception.
FOUR STATES OF MIND :
Both External and Internal focus plays an important role to understand state of mind,as we can focus either internally or externally.
Internal focus: when our focus is internal, we are conscious of the fact that we are thinking ,we often hear and pay attention to the running commentary /thoughts that goes in our head. For e.g, when we are working, reading a book or writing, we get a thought that it’s time to have a cup of tea/coffee or take some break. We hear the voice that goes in our mind. How many times do you hear the voice? It’s just like we are having a conversation with ourselves.
External Focus: Is an awareness of the things outside our own head. And when we focus in this way we aren’t aware of what we are thinking. Our attention is on what is going on , not on what we think about it. For e.g , when we are actually caught up in something like, watching TV, thrill of a football or any game etc, we are externally focused,and when we find ourselves thinking like why am I wasting time watching this ridiculous show, we have returned to an internal focus.
…where should be focus then be?..
* “Our mind is always occupied in one of two places : what is going inside our head or what is going outside your head..it is impossible to focus at the same time on both what’s internal and what’s external, just as it is to focus on neither.. We can though switch between them with a little MENTAL DISCIPLINE, and can do much whenever we want… “
* ...when we combine the types of focus (internal & external) with the ways we focus (helpful & harmful) we get ‘Four Distinct States Of Mind’ :
1. Autopilot
2. Critical
3. Thinking
4. Engaged
*
PRAYER
GOD grant us that we may not lose the kindness that we may give and receive today. We Thank you for the Memories of Yesterday, the Hope of Tomorrow and the Wisdom of Today .
…May we have the vision of Immortality that will keep us through the closest of sorrow…
🙏God Bless us All🙏😊

Self Care For Mental Health
Psychology of “SELF ACTUALISATION”: Are You Self Actualized?😊
🌸…Being Human is given , But keeping our Humanity is a Choice…🌸
With the World facing this Pandemic and Lockdown, we humans are actually forced to introspect ‘self’. We must have realized during this lockdown that our ‘basic needs/requirements ‘are not much,infact it’s our lifestyle that makes us greedy which is neither a necessity nor a basic requirement and at the end of the day all the materialistic things are meaningless.
..It’s once-in-a lifetime opportunity to delve within – Breathe , Rest and Rejuvenate – it’s a beautiful space for Introspection & Self Growth..
We have forgotten we are social animals and ultimate Goal of Humanity is to Serve Humanity Selflessly. When you stop caring about your personal gains and start working for humanity selfless, Ultimate satisfaction and peace you get.
🌸It is our Humanity which makes us spiritual and the Spirit which makes us Human 🌸
Sharing and exploring a beautiful concept of, Psychology of ‘Self Actualisation’ which stresses on the positive, healthy aspects of personality and the uniqueness of the individual. A Humanistic view based on a belief that people are good, active, creative individuals who live in the present and base their actions in the subjective perception of experience. People are seen as active agents in the perception and modification of their own reality and are assumed to be motivated to move towards personal growth and self fulfillment.
**The Ultimate GOAL of HUMAN BEING is SELF -ACTUALISATION and Self-actualisation is nothing but DEFINING ONESELF and then REDEFINING for the BETTERMENT of HUMANITY. **
* The need for Self -Actualisation is not about missing anything or needing anything tangible, but is related to a need for growth, understanding & fulfillment. It arises when one wishes to become, “ALL I CAN BECOME “.
*The need for meaning & purpose at this level also means that one becomes more sensitive to large social issues and the welfare of the community ,including the whole human community.
* Self -actualized people have a deep feeling of identification, sympathy and affection for human beings in general. They feel kinship & connection ,as if all people were members of a single family.
**The term self actualisation was first used by the German Psychiatrist, “Kurt Goldstein “(1939) which is built on the assumption that,” every individual ,every plant, every animal has only ONE INBORN GOAL – To Actualize Itself As It Is..
** ..In 1943, Iconic American Psychologist “ABRAHAM MASLOW ” presented a THEORY of’ HUMAN MOTIVATION’ that was so Quintessential that it has for decades, been met with strong acceptance and praise..
Maslow’s “Humanistic Theory Of Personality” is perhaps the most well known theory of motivation.
* According to this theory, humans are driven to achieve their maximum potential and will always do so unless obstacles are placed in their way. These obstacles include hunger, thirst, financial problems, safety issues or anything else that takes focus away from maximum psychological growth.*
* Humanistic theories of personality emphasizes on personal responsibility and innate tendencies toward personal growth .
* Maslow organized human needs into 5ive main groups in a ‘Hierarchical Fashion ‘. The logic of the hierarchy of needs is that the need at the lower end of hierarchy exert more power in that they exert a greater sense of urgency to be satisfied than the need at the next level. Progressing up the hierarchy of needs results in the individual coming closer to achieving the state of self-actualisation.
“The tendency toward self -actualisation is the only drive by which the life of an individual is determined”. At any moment, the individual has the fundamental tendency to actualize all its capacities and its whole potential, as it is present in that exact moment, under the given circumstances.
*Humanistic theory is perhaps the most well known theory of Motivation. According to this theory,
…humans are driven to achieve their ‘Maximum Potential’ & will always do so unless obstacles are placed in their way…
* This theory makes an assumption that :
. A Person is motivated as a whole.
. Motivation is complex.
. Man is a ‘wanting animal’.
. Satisfied needs can never be a motivator.
. Man’s needs are arranged in ‘hierarchy’.
* Humanistic Theory of Personality was proposed by Abraham Maslow. This concept suggests that human needs exist in a hierarchy , ranging from psychological needs,on the bottom,through safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and finally self-actualisation needs at the Top.
* According to Maslow ,lower-order needs must be satisfied before we can turn to more complex, higher-order needs.
…higher-order needs can’t serve as motives until lower-level needs have been satisfied.. thus a hungry person won’t be very interested in Self -actualizing; and one whose safety is threatened won’t focus on gaining others’ approval..
* Maslow has also devoted much attention to the study of people who, are psychologically healthy. These are individuals who have attained high levels of self -actualisation –
….a state in which they have reached their fullest’true potential’
…self -actualized people accept themselves for what they are; they recognize their shortcomings as well as their strengths… being in touch with their own personalities, they are less inhibited & less likely to conform than most of us…
# Physiological Needs : The most basic need related to the survival of the individual, they are, Food, shelter, cloth, air, water, sleep and reproduction.Such needs are extremely potent and, when unfulfilled can dominate the life of individual .Biological in nature .
# Safety Needs : The desire for stability, is like creating an environment for living that is free from the threat of danger. The need to feel Physically and Emotionally Safe from harm and genuine threats.
# Love an Belongingness Needs: Social Needs : Affection, love, friendship, acceptance and communication. The desire to be with others directly concerned with the basic desire to feel accepted by and have meaningful interpersonal relationship with others. Belonging to various social organization, community service group as well as member of a family give one a sense of acceptance and belongingness. The need to feel fully and unconditionally supported by someone else and the need to provide such support and love to another.
# Esteem Needs : Status, approval, appreciation, freedom of control, recognition, self-respect, Independence and respect of others. The need to genuinely appreciate and respect oneself.
#Self-Actualisation : Self – development,self-advancement, desire for increased responsibilities and liberation of creative talents. The need to become the best version of yourself that you can be. Developing the individual’s full potential involves the individual’s desire to develop his or her ability to their fullest potential. Such development involves obtaining deeper sense of one’s own desires and ability and maximising their expression in an attempt to bring them together. Individual must be extremely motivated from within to achieve the need.
…. If both the physiological & the safety needs are fairly well gratified, then there will emerge Love, Affection & belongingness needs and the whole cycle already described will repeat itself …
* Self -Actualisation in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, is the highest level of psychological development where the actualisation of full personal potential is achieved ,which occurs only after basic & mental needs have been fulfilled.
…man’s tendency to actualize himself to become his potentialities.. to express & activate all its capacities – Carl Rogers.
* Throughout lives, individuals work toward achieving the top of the pyramid, self-actualisation,or the realization of all of full potential.
…on the way up there are obstacles, also there are incidents than can move an individual down…
“SELF – ACTUALISATION MEANS BEING THE BEST PERSON ONE COULD POSSIBLY BE- are you?? 😊
…to have achieved this goal is to stop living, because there is nothing else left to do…
* The needs Maslow believed to be higher, healthier and more likely to emerge in self-actualizing people were being needs(B-needs) also called existential or spiritual needs.
… existential needs are rooted in need to experience lives more fully and to find MEANING and PURPOSE in LIFE … being needs are FULFILLED but NEVER SATIATED .. include TRUTH, GOODNESS and BEAUTY.. MASLOW also included Unity, Perfection and Completion of finality.. It values aliveness, process,uniqueness and self-sufficiency…
* ..Self Actualized people live more in the real world of nature than in the man-made mass of concepts, abstractions , expectations, beliefs and stereotypes that most people confuse with the world..*
Q U A L I T I E S : of a Self-Actualized Person –
. More Efficient Perception Of Reality
. Acceptance of Self, Others and Nature
. Spontaneity, Simplicity & Naturalness
. Problem – Centering
. The Need for Privacy
. Autonomy
. Continued freshness of Appreciation
. The Peak Experience
…working hard for something we don’t Care is called Stress, and working hard for something ‘We Love’is called ‘PASSION ‘…
THE ‘ JONAH ‘ COMPLEX :
* Because humans are born with a natural tendency to move toward psychological health, any failure to reach self-actualisation can technically be called abnormal development. One such abnormal syndrome is the ‘Jonah Complex’ or fear of being or doing one’s best , a condition that all of us have to some extent. Maslow believed that many people allow false humility to stifle their creativity, which causes them to fall short of self-actualisation.
….Failure to have needs met at various stages of the hierarchy could lead to illness, particularly psychiatric illness Or mental health issues .Individuals whose Physiological needs are not met may become extremely ill , stressful , and in extreme cases it might turn fatal. when safety needs are not met, post-traumatic stress may occur.
P S Y C H O T H E R A P Y :
The hierarchy of needs concept has obvious ramifications for Psychotherapy. Most people who seek psychotherapy probably do so, because they have not adequately satisfied their love and belongingness needs. This suggests that much of therapy should involve a productive human relationship and that the job of a therapist is to help clients satisfy love and belongingness .
MEASURING SELF-ACTUALISATION
The significance of the concept of self-actualisation is also reflected in its application to Personality Assessment. ‘The Personal Orientation Inventory ‘( POI ) is an objective measure most often associated with assessing self -actualisation. The POI was invented by’ Everett L Shostrom’ as an objective means of measuring some of the behaviours and values related to Maslow’s Concept. Involves 2 Major scales and sub-scales. The 10 sub-scales consists of characteristic indicating self-actualisation, including of self-acceptance spontaneity, synergy and capacity for intimate contact.
* Self -actualized people accept themselves for what they are ; they recognize their shortcomings as well as their strengths. Being in touch with their own personalities, they are less inhibited and less likely to conform than most of us.
* Self-actualized people are well aware of the rules imposed by society,but feel greater freedom to ignore them than most persons. Unlike most of us, they seem to retain their childhood wonder and amazement with the world. For them life continues to be an exciting adventure rather than a boring routine.
* Finally, self -actualized persons sometimes have PEAK EXPERIENCES – instances in which they have powerful feelings of unity with the universe and feel tremendous waves of power and wonder. Such experiences appear to be linked to personal growth , for after them individuals report feeling more spontaneous, more appreciative of life, and less concerned with the problems of everyday life.
…The more one forgets himself by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love – the more human he is and the more he actualizes himself , Self-Actualisation is possible only as a side – effect of self-transcendence…
🌸Finding happiness is like finding yourself. You don’t find happiness.. you make happiness ..you choose happiness.. Self-Actualisation is a process of discovering who you are, who you to be and paving the way to happiness by doing what brings you the most meaning and contentment to your life over the long run🌸
Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love. A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write(& so on), if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.
..one’s only rival is one’s own potentialities.. One’s only failure is failing to live up to one’s own possibilities…
🌹All the evidence that we have indicate that it is reasonable to assume in practically every human being and certainly in almost every new born baby that there is an ACTIVE WILL toward HEALTH, an IMPPULSE towards GROWTH & towards THE ACTUALIZATION 🌹
🌹A Special Thankful note to my family, my besties and all the good special people who motivate and reinforces positively and serve humanity🌹💖😊
REMEMBER SELF ACTUALISATION IS OXYGEN TO THE SOUL…KEEP SUPPLYING 💞
I hope you all enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed putting it for you 🙂

SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY:PSY OF SOCCER ⚽
Football is played with the Head.. Your Feet are just the Tools..
DEDICATED TO MY SON,COACHES,STUDENTS & ALL PASSIONATE FOOTBALL LOVERS : “lesser known are the people who sing away their heroics silently”.
motivated me to express World’s most favorite game ⚽,I enjoyed every bit touching,studying,exploring,compiling this subject which is limitless in terms of mathematical,technical and statistical aspect, which Iam definitely gonna study and share in next part .Sharing a small portion of all the studies, research and psychology of ⚽ to all football lovers 😊.
The ultimate aim of any civilised being is to serve the humanity for its betterment. And an individual who wants to serve humanity has to be in possession of good mental and physical health.
Like a coin has two sides”Heads and Tail”,on the same lines a good education system has also two sides’Academics and Sports .Academics teaches a student the difference between ‘Right and wrong ‘whereas sports teaches an individual to focus, fight against odds and to be instrumental towards team’s win.
Sports reduce anxiety and increase self-esteem. It not only enhances the capabilities to do better under pressure but also helps in developing leadership qualities & social skills. On one hand it’s fun to participate in friendly matches and it’s one of the best stress busters but on other hand the professional tournament are highly demanding and exhibitions of team spirit.
..Sport Psychology is the understanding of how the mind influences a player’s performance in their chosen sports ..
* Sports Psy deals in various concepts such as how a sportsman prefer to learn their personality attainments of relaxation and concentration and how do they learn to visualize a successful performance , understand overcome their limitations and developing high levels of self awareness.
* The most important aspect is coach-player relationship – critical to sporting success . One of the most fundamental aspects of sport psychology, that is within the coach’s role, is to understand their player’s behavioral pattern and their individual personality. All coaches do this to some extent, but the best Coach do this to a deep level. Understanding his players gives a window into how to communicate, build an effective environment for them, insist them to build on their strengths and overcome their weaknesses.
..Sport Psychology can be the difference that makes the difference..
PSY.OF FOOTBALL
..”Football Psy is a means of developing a player’s mindset to improve performance” ..no matter how naturally talented player is, if they cannot focus, motivate self/others,deal with failure/success and show composure, they cannot bring results to self and to the team.
* The contemporary history of the world’s favorite game spans more than 100 years. It all began in 1863 in England, when rugby football and association football branched off on their different courses and the Football Association in England was formed -becoming the sports first governing body. Old name ‘soccer’ originated in Britain some 200years ago. Invented by Walter Camp who pioneered rule changes that slowly transformed rugby into the new game of American Football , on November 6,1869 Rutgers & Princeton played first American football game at New Brunswick, New Jersey what was billed as the first college of football game.
* Well developed physical, technical and tactical competencies are necessary but not sufficient pre-requisites for success in modern football.
..Research indicates that the most successful players consistently require and employ Psychological Skills to enhance performance .. For eg; relaxation, imagery, goal setting, self-talk etc. These psychological skills training should be a part of training and practice in football.
Myth: Mental and Physical aspects of football are separate.
Footballers with ‘growth mindsets’ believe that their abilities can be improved. By focusing on Learning and Improving, they ensure they stay hungry for success and are more likely to develop their abilities.
In all walks of life, people with a growth mindset tend to learn faster & are more successful than their fixed mindset counterparts. A good sports psychologist /Coach help footballers and teams develop a growth mindset, which can boost player development to new levels.
The way you talk to yourself is vitally important. How a footballer talks to themselves can affect their concentration, persistence, stress levels and their emotions which in turn affects their motivation, confidence and overall performance. The way they talk to themselves can also affect their belief that, ‘they can always improve ‘ and their ability to, ‘deal with distractions ‘.
Players express a range of emotions whilst playing, which is why they work hard to help footballers learn how to control and use their emotions so that they can play at their best.
God is Strength:Praise God
…”True Life comes from God’s Unfailing love working to deliver us”..
..For all my friends and people who messaged me to pen down on strength ..Guys we live every second..Trust God and yourself.. Surround yourself with God’s people emitting same wavelength and positive vibes.. Feel free to express..Never let a ‘Kaash'(wish) come in your life.. We tend to feel low but how we come back again with full force depends on our resilience.. which is God gifted..

IAM YOURS..IAM YOURS 🙏

GOD IS OUR ALL IN ALL
OUR STRENGTH WHEN WE ARE WEAK

..God is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made. God upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down..
God is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made. God is near to all who call on him to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. God watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.
..my mouth will speak in praise of the God.. Let every creature praise him, forever and ever… I will sing praise as long as I live..
The only true hope of relief for those who are oppressed is the faithful God, God of all heaven and earth, He knows and cares for the needy, whom we tend to ignore. His majestic characteristics :greatness, majesty, power, goodness, righteousness, grace, compassion, loving, glory, splendor, faithfulness, presence,kindness, giving,forgiving, saving,holy etc leads us to praise😇

WISDOM-Intellectual Nature,God’s Way.
As inspired,
Special Thankful note to my friends ..Our discussion on ‘In search of God and wisdom ‘ motivated me to explore more on real wisdom beyond Psychology of wisdom. An evening well spent with exchange of thoughts and knowledge from self, environment and scriptures😊
Psychologists tend to agree that wisdom involves integration of knowledge, experience and deep understanding, wisdom encounters in the realm of decision making.will get back soon on ‘Psychology of Wisdom’.
“An ingredient of wisdom is the recognition of personal intellectual need combined with the ability to accept and utilize education”
..Life should be so lived that people become wise as GOD intends.. Wisdom is far more lasting than wealth..
*Only he can teach us to plan our lives and use our time in such manner that we reach the full measure of wisdom.
*He plans for us. Such wisdom leads us to accept the sorrows life brings and to be grateful for signs of God’s love and care.
*Human intellect should lead people to remember and ponder the great acts of God. The wisest people ponder God’s love and learn from the mistakes of others.
..God has given people minds with the expectation that we will use them to evaluate everything we hear and see.. We must decide for ourselves, not simply accept another’s opinion blindly regardless of the position or education of the other person..
*True wisdom centers on obedience to God rather than demanding obedience to or acceptance of our opinions and knowledge.
..those seeking to develop their wisdom and knowledge are willing to be open to the examination of themselves and others..
*Human wisdom finds its basis in God’s reveleation.True Knowledge and judgement come from study of God’s word and will, not from human philosophy and reasoning. Human philosophy helps us understand life when that philosophy is built on trust in God and his revelation.
*Learning has many sources. Powerful humans build up ways to rule and control. Teachers study human traditions and use human reasoning to gain knowledge. Elders rely on long experience in life. Such wisdom used correctly can be good and helpful, but it needs to be secondary.
genuine wisdom comes from God and the study of His word
*Our intellect’s purpose is to build life, not facts. God’s revelation is the place to begin intellectual development. We can build a disciplined and well -ordered life on that foundation. To fail to follow this process is the path of folly. This holds true for young and old, unlearned and wise.
Wisdom is revealed as the basis of all great accomplishments of humanity ,this divine wisdom is offered to all who know and admit their own ignorance.
…People are expected to develop their wisdom to their highest potential.. those who fail to do so can expect to suffer the consequences of their own folly.
*Even a person who is a fool can have access to the wisdom of God. God does not have secret knowledge He wants to give only a few.
..wisdom leads to careful planning for the future..
Genuine wisdom recognizes it’s own limitations and is ready to learn more, self centered pride robs us of the chance to improve.
😊😊
🙏God bless us all 🙏

GOD, POWER
Truly Inspired
…God’s power always goes beyond our understanding, just as His love is always beyond our expectations..
* God’s sovereign power at work in the World is such that He can provide for the needs of his people anywhere, anytime. Though his people may have been banished to the ends of the earth, God knows where His people are.He can reach out to them with the blessing they need. They may go far from God, but God is never far from them. He may have to let people endure hardship and suffering for a short time in order for them to turn to Him again in their hearts, but God is ready and able to extricate them from their suffering any time they are ready to turn to Him.
…God’s Heart would far rather pour itself out in Love than in wrath…
* Although he may have to chastise His people,God will continue to show loving concern for them. He stands out ready to pour out renewed blessings upon them when they learn their lesson and return to Him in faith.
…what God expects of us is not something beyond our capabilities..
* He is not arbitrary and unrealistic in His expectations of us. He is loving heavenly who has reasonable expectations that His children will respond to Him in faithfulness and loving obedience.When we understand that we live in God’s World, and that He wants us to have a full and meaningful life in His world,then we understand that His commands are not foreign to our best interests.
That is how any thoughtful parent shapes demands of children.
* God’s unique character becomes apparent as His people find refuge and hope in Him.God’s saving acts give a unique identity to his people.
..History shows that God is the only reliable source of security..
* To make Himself known to His people,God empowered human leaders to lead in historical acts as God’s acts.God entrusted his revelation to human agents so other humans could identify with it, trust it,and witness to it.
…God does not wish to remain a mystery.. rather,He wishes to reveal Himself as one true God to all people ..
* God sometimes acts dramatically in His world so that others who look with a degree of sensitivity and perceptiveness will recognize Him as God.If one looks about for evidence of God, it is not hard to see God’s hand in many things .
…God is creator not only of His world but also of us, His people..
The full sounds of a human orchestra are needed to sound God’s praises through the earth.
..Praise should be high, loud,and joyous..
🌹…PRAISE GOD IN ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES …🌹
🙏GOD BLESS US ALL 🙏
GOD’S LOVE, ITS SO WONDERFUL 💞
HAPPY BLESSED MORNING 😊
