Sisko: "We need more Defient Class."
Shipyards: "Crank out some Mirandas!"
Shipyard you got the order wrong we need more oberth class
Wish a few more Defiants and Sovereigns were present in the Dominion War battles... (Though if a Sovereign or two showed up Defiant would've definitely been upstaged...)
@@crgkevin6542 honestly atleast the sovereign class not being their made sense that class was supposed to be a rare ship then while i agree with the defiant but that also meant they needed time they didnt have and honest i dont think it would have been out performed as 3 defiants would have been enough of a wolf pack
The Miranda was easier and cheaper to build. You could get three Mirandas for the time and price of one Defiant.
More bang for the buck.
I guess Miranda Class Starships Are the Sherman tanks of Starfleet ! Easy to create and mass-produce but one hit and they go up like a Ronson lighter !
Ah, the 90s era of television, when it was more expensive to make 3 minutes of CGI footage than to reconfigure an entire set...
I miss those times.
And every planet had Kirk's Rock. (The Vasques Rocks)
@Voltaic Fire Maybe both? They do show up practically everywhere.
CGI is still expensive. th-cam.com/video/9lcB9u-9mVE/w-d-xo.html
This video demonstrates my ONLY problem with the Defiant's design, illustrated perfectly at 4:20 talking about the carpet. The navigator has a great view of the view screen. The CAPTAIN on the other hand, has a great view of the navigator's head. I wonder how many times Sisko asked Dax to move her head so he could see the huge space battle in front of him.
Also, Nog has blue fingernails.
Workplace ergonomics are big too. If Dax gets a standing station, Sisko is screwed.
We finally know why Sisko assigned Nog to that station - he's only 5 feet tall. Combined with the slightly raised platform of the captain's chair and he has a clear view.
I think that final carpet design shows that they wanted to put the captain's chair on a pedestal. Problem was, the set was built very low, so they'd have to extend all the walls upward to compensate.
The captain's seat is raised, but so was the helm. I guess the captain could have used a side screen like in the runabouts, but it was supposed to be a war ship specifically to attack the Borg, so it make sense that the helm has the best view of where the ship is going, there's not much point hailing a borg cube.
@@NeonVisual Huh, I guess the podium was so low I didn't notice it!
The color scheme on the bridge kind of reminded me of a Super Nintendo.
SNES.....👍👌👍
What's wrong with purple
@@shanenway2647
Why do you assume I have a problem with purple?
Are you some kind of closeted porphyrophobic, trying to project your hatred onto me?!?
I never could find out why I loved the purple color, thank you. It was deep down in my brain throwing me back to SNES😂
Gotta love the set designers on Star Trek back then. New panels here, different colored trim there, labels moved by a few inches, and BAM!!!!! Totally new ship!
It's like in the Real World. New Car, new Phone. All similar to the past Models.
New weapons and technology? Nah, too much work.
New carpets and trim? Ooooh.
This is normal for commonly built classes of ocean-going ships. The _Essex_-class carriers of the USN were all different based on what had been figured out when the specific ship was built or what repairs and refits had occurred; there are some people who can identify each individual ship and the approximate time without seeing a name.
@@TheFranchiseCA Yep, no two ships of the same class are exactly alike, it would be the same for starships.
Look, it's got a new hat!
I feel like the Neo-Defiant's purple aesthetic was a recommendation by Avery Brooks. It's no secret that DS9 often highlighted African and African-American culture and that Brooks often pushed for such. Since purple is often cited as being representative of royalty in Africa, it wouldn't surprise me if that was intended as a subtle nod. Especially given that purple was never before (or since) so prominent in Starfleet interior design.
I've always liked this iteration of the Defiant interior.
FYI In the DS9 Novels in 2381 Captain Benjamin L. Sisko takes command of The Galaxy Class Starship U.S.S. Robinson NCC-71842 (Named for Jackie Robinson Registry Number 718 Brooklyn NY area code 42 Jackie Robinson uniform number).
@@marcusjustice6165 Did Sisko return from the Prophets and get reinstated by Starfleet or something? Are those novels canon?
@@samueltheprideofafrikarobi9319 Dont remember the novels to well. I think he settled on Bajor as he always wanted, but he didnt return to Starfleet. Kira took over as a Captain, since Bajor became member of the Federation.
The colour purple 🟣 , has been associated with monarchy since at least Roman times , so l think you are reaching here .
@@michellebrown4903 Absolutely. The reason being, that purple dye was very expensive, for most of human history. Where as Red and Blue on the other hand was comparatively cheap to produce, over most of the world.
For a modern comparison, 'Blue LED's'. Once they were invented, we could finally have all colours of the rainbow cheaply on our Christmas lights.
Feels like Christmas with all these new episodes.. oh wait..
Dude. Your sense of humor is maybe the best part. ALF suddenly showing up. So great. I laughed out loud .
Yup. Gotta have that Alf. He keeps trivial things like the location of panel labels at least somewhat watchable.
And Martok laughing hahaha
Great analysis! Important question - did the new Defiant have any special defenses against rocks flying out during battles?
I hope so. It’d be tragic to lose another Dax.
This is cold.
A common curse for many Federation ships.. those damn rocks!
Commissioning plaque: Sao Paulo "Named for the people of Brazil," but they gave it a quote from American Revolution hero, Patrick Henry, "Give me liberty or give me death." I guess by the 24th century, history is a little skewed.
yeah that was some really lazy writing there
I love the idea of the Defiants registry as NCC-74205-A
It also DIDN’T have a cloaking device, if memory serves
Ablative armor?
Which means it DIDN'T have a Romulan who was actually a Bajoran who was actually a Cardassian
4:00 Maybe that was to combat the lens-flare generators that JJ came to love?
I'm pretty sure the holocommunicator only came about because of budget constraints. The season or two around its use was very light on viewscreen shots in general. Much cheaper and easier just to put the other person on the set.
At some point there was a table in that place.
Kirk Jacobson What about the FX to make them appear in the first place? I don’t recall if they edited around that but for a bunch of shots or not. Another budget move is to do the viewscreen as a tight close up thus removing the need to composite the scene, just use framing to make it clear that one half of the conversation is being played out on a screen.
I wondered about that. But wasn't the whole holo thing just a gag leading up to the big reveal of "OMG that person's not a holo, he/she's actually on the bridge!" Or am I thinking of a different show?
The whole point of the holocommunicator was to actually have the actors perform in the scene. When they do viewscreens, they basically have to record whoever's on the screen separately. Which makes giving a good performance... difficult.
@@shingshongshamalama If I recall correctly, the holocommunicator was introduced cause the producers thought it would be a good way to make scene's more engaging, but it nobody can beat a good viewscreen scene. On the same point, did you know that during Wrath of Khan, Shatner and Montalbán recorded their scene's separately, months apart, without even meeting each other on set (the Reliant bridge is a redress of the Enterprise).
Oh lol, btw, Ferengi did use blue nail vanish. Look at Menage a Troi episode.
São Paulo is a city in Brazil, and since i live in Brazil, I almost cried when i saw it. I always hated that they renamed it defiant, heck they even kept the old NX registry, I believe it would be better if they changed the registry to NCC-74205-A.
Me to...
Imagine some Galaxy class ship with our biggest city name!
There is one more Defiant. The Mirror Universe Defiant that the Terran Rebellion built.
Absolutely correct. I covered that one in a previous video. We got to see the construction of it, which was pretty cool. That one has a lot of red around the bridge.
There's also the version made entirely out of dormant tribbles. Whenever the ship takes damage, the tribbles reproduce to fix the damage.
@@JunkBallMedia Which raises a little point that if mirror universe DS9 could build a Defiant, any Starfleet station could pump them out. Even prime universe DS9 could have a few in the works constantly.
The Federation should have been swimming in Defiant class ships to the point that they're mothballing older ships just to get the trained crews.
The I.S.S. Defiant - which helped restore the supremacy of the Terrans and crush those Klingon and Cardassian pond scum! Long Live the Empire!
And everyone forgets the Constitution class Defiant from Tholian Web. :-P
#bluefingernails
Thanks for the acknowledgment. If paramont or CBS had any clue you will be the first call. #section31 show coming weather u asked for it or not :)
Love your voice and videos. Always very tongue in cheek which is what drew me in to the first video oh so long ago. And yeah, keep up the good work. Btw all ferengi have blue fingernails
I just think sticking to Navy tradition renaming a star ship to be bad luck! Although I don't like the name I would have kept it!
The light blocker made me chuckle, good eye 😁
I'm from São Paulo and it saddened me a lil bit that they changed the name so fast :(((
I just finished DS9 and now can finally watch this.
The biggest mistake about the destruction and replacement of the Defiant is that they didn't get around to blowing up the first Defiant until so late that there's no time to feel the severity of the loss before they easily reset it.
To be fair, there was an entire plot point at the end of season seven about getting their hands on a Breen Energy Dampening weapon on a Dominion ship, and analysed to come up with defence for it. I'm pretty sure it was assumed by most viewers that those modifications would be added throughout the fleet, from already built ships to new commissions.
That being said, this video was interesting as hell. I never even noticed all the tiny changes they made.
São Paulo.
I was born in this city (Brazil).
I'm from Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul.
There were three ships named Defiant on the show. The two mentioned here and the ISS Defiant from the mirror universe.
I can't be the only one to think this but I'm sure glad to see regular content coming out on this channel again. Every video has been a great watch and I hope to see many more.
Thanks. It’s been a struggle at times to find the time to consistently make videos, but I appreciate you sticking around despite the regular hiatuses. I’m really honored.
@@JunkBallMedia As a random member of your audience, I appreciate you finding the time to make videos for us!
"The more things change, the more they stay the same."
Which rule of acquisition is that again lolz!
The small changes over time are amusing when thinking at the time we were watching this at 480i on 27" CRT screens and if you had to record it on vhs your quality dropped another 50%. So much work and small changes that would never be noticeable on screen.
I know they escape the first Defiant in escape pods, but are they like warp 9 capable or something? How do the escape pods not get scooped up by the winner and everyone made POWs?
You should re-watch the episode. Weyoun suggests destroying the escape pods but the female Founder orders them to be left to escape to cause a drop in moral. AKA plot armor.
I recall in the episode 'Valiant' (ep 6-22) that the Jem'Hader ruthlessly destroyed almost all of the fleeing escape pods.
I'm not surprised, most bridges of the same ship model often have different designs and configurations. The Galaxy class had 3 saucer configurations, and 8 Bridge configurations. The Excelsior class had 4.
Still bugs me that it wasn't the Dash-A...
NOW, @Junkball, you've done five Defiant videos.......... TIME FOR MOAR.
3:26
The green light is on the port side and the red light is on the starboard side? They are very tired at Utopia Planitia!
As a brazilian (born in São Paulo) and a trekker, I am honoured by the homage.
Oh, I thought they meant that the USS Defiant on DS9 was the second starship with that name. I was thinking of the ORIGINAL USS Defiant from the original series episode the Tholian Web
FYI: It's called a 'flag,' not a 'light blocker.' And it's mounted on a c-stand.
0:41 As a Brazilian, I would like to point out that the permission to change the USS Sao Paulo's name wasn't Star Fleet command's to give. Sisko being well versed in diplomacy and decolonization movements should have known better and asked the people of Brazil if he could rename it to USS Defiant.
Yes, Worf, I am being humorous
Comm.Riker:" tuff little ship". Worf:"little?!?" LOL.
Yay! ALF is on the main viewer! (Oh, I'd love to see Alf included somehow on the Orville. Epic.) -- Yay, blue fingernails, Nog.
the blue fingernails and the color change on the door, wall panels, and upper portions of the chairs are due to lighting changes. the carpet might've been changed when they installed a new captain's chair and panels but the other stuff is clearly due to a filter over the lighting and/or after effects similar to how a green screen works.
Due to budget constraints, they did not change the registry number (NX-74205) of the second Defiant of the Defiant Class. The new registry should have been either NCC-74205 or NCC-75633, IMO.
If Im first my life is complete. Love Junkball and the in depth details. Damn Breans:)
j k17 you are third
Damn you Brean bastards, youve killed my son, damn Brean basterds.
@@DSFII ahhh I tried.
Huh?
There is actually one *HUGE* change you didn't mention.
The new Defiant has no cloaking device sadly =/
This class had multiple ships constructed like many other ship classes. It was supposed to be a Borg assault ship. The San Paulo was re-designated The Definant as a favor to Capt Sisko as an homage to the Original Defiant. Much like the Theory that the U.S.S. Yorktown Enterprise Class as seen in Space Dock during ST III, which was re-designated U.S.S. Enterprise.
4:02 FYI, in the industry they’re called “flags” not “light blockers.”
i'm surprised that not a single one of your defiant centered videos has any reference to its unique engine room or even a photo of it for that matter...
it was a little bit more than just one line that they Reconfigured the shields other stuff had gone on in other episodes that led to it and the other ships also got this fix so they could not one shot disable starfleet ships any more, also i think the mk2 defiant had ablative armor plating but i think the mk1 was fitted with it at some point (i have to watch again) witch made it more like plot armor but the armor as it did seem like it could take more hits then a galaxy class ship (that had stronger shields)
I think the registry should have been either NCC-75633 (Sao Paulo’s original), or NCC-74205, so the number would go with the new name but it not being a prototype anymore, similar to Excelsior NX/NCC-2000. I always taken the letter suffix to only be a thing for ships named Enterprise, model labelling mistakes and the Dauntless notwithstanding. It would have a letter, I think it should be NX-74205-A.
i just got into watching star trek documentaries like this. i have watched like 5 of your videos already. well done; best i have seen that spans the entire star trek universe.
the blue fingernail were put there to match the Overall colorsceam of the new Bridge, so everything hast this Purple to dark blue shades
The book series The Survivalist by Jerry Ahern has the Defiant on one of the cover. Book 31. Earth Shine. I've read earlier books but not this one, so I have no idea why the Defiance on the front of it. it shouldn't be because these books were start in the early 80s, but this book came out in 2013
Two things: 1) If the ship was so “cramped “ as they always eluded to, then why was the bridge so excessively large with so much wasted open space? 2) ...where’s the door/hatch on the nose to egress?
Pause at 5:02... Is it just me, or is there a screaming man's face on that console to Sisco's left?
Around 2.10 u say that the Sao Paulo came with orders to rename it the Defiant,which is technically untrue. Sisko states that they have special dispensation to rename her the Defiant....meaning they were given permission not ordered to rename her
Actually back then the main shots of the focused ship image was done with film photography and they film to add the extra effects, shadow light, glow of warp nacelles/buzzard scoop. then they would be all then layered to give the impression that it's an actual life size space ship and not a metre long model.
the rl reason for dropping the holo communicators stems from gene's reason to use view screens in the first place. to save on the budget. when they did the holocommunicator effect, they found they were limited on what angles and all they could use, AND it was way more expensive than using a viewscreen
I think the second Defiant was supposed to be an NCC registry instead of NX. However, since they were going to reuse shots from previous episodes in the finale that's when they made it the NX version.
Also of note; in the final episode of DS9 during the montage. we see the stock footage of the USS Sitak and Majestic being destroyed inter-cut with another re-use of a crewman being killed by rocks on a Defiant-class bridge implying that this design was in use on Miranda's as well. Sadly, the better carpet went down with the ship.
the rocks are to prevent the q from teleporting the ship towards the borge.... captain picard could never tolerate to have the rocks onboard however as they clashed with the stylish drapes and carpet
ITS A GREAT DAY FOR JUNKBALL MEDIA
The holo-communicator isn't seen past it's initial use in For the Uniform, when the Defiant bridge is briefly seen two episodes later the small bench is conveniently still slid into the rear wall but the prop is gone having been relocated to Sisko's office for use in Doctor Bashir, I Presume. When the Defiant bridge is next seen which I think is in Children of Time the never (from memory) used table returns.
Kira used the table when Thomas Riker kidnapped her. There might be one or two other occasions, before they mostly used the mess hall for briefings.
Well, basically we just copied the Defiant we had. Then, we added some fins to lower wind resistance. And this racing stripe is pretty sharp.
You should do videos much more frequently! I could watch them for hours.
This inspired me to look at the battle of Sector 001 and lo and behold, the Defiant has the old bridge back, or at least the captain consoles are the 2nd type. I would love to see someone explain that one (cue the theme from X-Files). I guess we aren't the only people who might have forget that Sao Paulo existed.
You had to wait 4 years for me to tell you that the Battle of Sector 001 pre-dates the destruction of the original Defiant at the hands of the Breen by like 2 years. And that there was a whole Thing about it behind the scenes with the production staff of DS9 being absolutely pissed that the First Contact scriptwriters wanted to destroy the Defiant, but DS9 itself brushed over the entire battle with a couple of lines from Sisko, and entirely ignored any battle damage to the Defiant itself.
Beef top ramen is fucking AWESOME
I remember three U.S.S. Defiant vessels the first being a Constitution Class Star Ship that was pulled in to the mirror universe and the other 2 from Deep Space Nine great ships I also like flying them in Star trek Online.
There was Defiant Valinet Class Fedration spyship USS Incursion NX-74808 in Star Trek Awayteam.
"NAMED FOR THE PEOPLE OF BRAZIL" Wow, I had never looked at the USS São Paulo sign up close, I feel honored, even if it only lasted as long as leaving Utopia Planicia up to ds9 before being renamed XD
The consoles next to the captain's chair: in season 3 last episode they use one to set the self destruct. In a season 4 episode - sisko banged his head on one.
@Mike DeMarco Lol 😁
😅
I appreciate the use of purple on the thumbnail!
Cuz the carpet
Jon Tron AND Junkball uploaded today... I’m overwhelmed
Great video! But most ferengi have crazy colored nails. Quark usually has some dark green on. Even the ferengi that tried poisoning Mendoza ( negotiator for the Barzan wormhole) had some crazy silver nail thing going on. #bignerdalert
I wonder if Ferengi have blue blood.
id agree martok was a bit of a novice nerd and he did admire human engineering skills to see a problem and fix it or tweak things so it not such a issue "the shields have been reconfigured"
The second Defiant also differed from the first, in that it lacked the Romulan cloaking device.
the Defiant strictly speaking never had a cloaking device. It was only 'borrowed' from the nice Romulans.
@@cyborgbadger1015 nice Romulans 😆👍
Just one question. Was the defiant more advanced than the Jem'Hadar fighters that it fought? I mean, despite hearing about how deadly the Jem'Hadar were, every time we saw them fighting in space, except the first time, they just get dominated. The defiant is seen on screen destroying half a dozen ships at a time, hell, even the Klingon Birds of Prey are shown destroying several dominion ships before making it out still intact. I mean, I am just wondering if the gap in technology between the Alpha Quadrent, and the dominion is actually all that much since we are typically shown ships like the defiant dominating the dominion.
"Special dispensation" how a studio can get out of building new sets and models. At least they didnt go the time travel route or get a defiant from a alternate reality.
What's so fascinating about nog having blue fingernails, All Ferengi have colored fingernails. Look around on season 5 and 6 you'll notice Rom & Quark have green fingernails. In season 7 when Quark thinks he's becoming Grand nagus you'll see he also has green toenails, and that liquidator that he doesn't like also has green fingernails. And you forgot to mention there was 3 defiant classes, NX Defiant, USS Valiant used by Red Squadron, then Sao Paulo renamed, USS Defiant. You forgot to mention the stripes on the wall carpet in the council's next to captain's chair all different on the new Defiant. Plus the new Defiant did not have that holographic communication pad, replaced with the engineering table similar to the table scene on Enterprise D main engineering.
Is there any precedence of a navy using the same name on the same class of vessel? It would be super hard to differentiate which of the ships is being talked about
Having researched this previously and spoke to many naval friends apparently the only known duplicate was in the Turkish/Ottoman Navy during the Russo-Turkish war where a ship was captured and another launched with the same name then retrieved after the war and renamed but I don't have the details at hand.
The US Navy did that in WWII with the USS Yorktown. The CV-5 was sunk at Midway and the CV-10 (under construction as the USS Bonhomme Richard) was renamed Yorktown.
Shadiversity: Star Trek, BUT WHAT ABOUT DRAGONS!?
Junk Ball: Dragons, BUT WHAT ABOUT BLUE FINGERNAILS!?
Corvus: Go home, you're both drunk.
So much for the dedication to the "people of Brazil." First thing they do is change the name. Probably won't be getting any Starfleet recruits from Sao Paulo anytime soon!
The uss Defiant was used in star trek first contact movie with Commander worf in command of the uss Defiant USS enterprise ncc1701 e can to earth just in time by saving the Defiant from the Borg attack on earth
Neat Little Tidbit you may not be aware of. Ron Moore (writer/producer on the show) wanted to call the Sao Paulo the Defiant-A, but Ira Steven Behr (Executive Producer) was like "Dude. Ron. Defiant-A sounds awful. Were not calling it that. Just keep it Defiant". In hind sight, Defiant-A doesn't roll off the tongue as well as Defiant, so Ira may have been right.
The defiant was used in star trek generation movie the first concent wolf was in command during the battle of the Borg
2:50 Naw man...they talked about that a few times before. We learned that one Klingon ship was immune. The study of this, and the Breen weapon captured by Sisko and his team lead to the development of new Shields.
I do like the version 1 design of the Bridge, in that the captain's chair had the railing's encompassing the central pedestal, basically wrapping around the back of the chair. It sucks however that the final episode had so much re-used imagery for the battle scenes. It looks so wrong seeing the ship with the old registry in a number of shots. Alas, what's done is done!
You didn't answer the most important question: does the new Defiant come with Rocks!?
I KNOW! I honestly though about taking the video down to go back and check.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think there is one more minor difference.
The new one didn't have ...
.
.
.
.
a ROMULAN CLOAKING DEVICE!
(i did a quick fact check and it seems there are only books that mention a cloak being installed as per the Romulan agreement, but AFAIK that never happened on screen and therefore it is not canon).
For hundreds of years at sea when someone transferred from one ship to another ship they would use a beam of wood. So the order to "Beam me over" or "Beam me aboard" goes way back.
Interesting. Never thought of that connection.
actually its the 3rd Defiant remember there was an old Constitution Class Starship called USS Defiant
junkball! can you do the kelvin enterprise? not the refit A but the original 1701, it went through changes in each film, would be cool to sink some teeth into that big momma
Did they ever discuss why Nog had BLUE FINGER NAILS?
One thing you forgot the defiant ship that red Squad was Manning when they went up against the Dominion warship with nog and Jake Sisko
Great video...as always.
Needless nitpick: The chair hasn't necessarily been 'reupholstered'. That's expensive and time consuming. They probably just threw a quick coat of paint over the material, put it under a fan for 5 minutes, then ran it back to set.
I'm dying to get an HD remaster of this show to hunt out all the technical flaws!
I wanna see that HD remaster too. I can’t wait for the DS9 Doc.
It annoyed me if her name was changed to defiant then her prefix should be the (previous was nx but now it’s out of experimental stage) NCC-74205-B but it still kept the USS- São Paulo’s prefix of NCC- 75633 even know the name was changed? Lol that annoyed me
Marcus W That’s how it normally goes though, names get re used often on starfleet ships but they rarely are accompanied by their previous numbers. The Enterprise seems to be the single exception and that’s why they get the A B C D E suffix, to avoid confusion.
We know that names get re used because we have seen several ships with the same name over the years, I theorize that they also re use registry numbers often, seeing as how some Constitution class ships have numbers that should predate the class significantly it makes sense that a notable ship can be honored by assigning its name or number to a new ship. But for obvious reasons the name and number are best left separate down the line.
DrewLSsix that’s right as it’s mostly different classes of ship, enterprise has the exception but the defiant is another defiant class ship lol
I also wonder if starfleet disabled the Breen sheild enhancements after the war
My head canon is that the agreement with the romulans that allowed the loan of the cloaking drive was to a ship named defiant with registry number nx-74205. So to get past this they changed they registry as well as the name
tomalina the second defiant wasn’t fitted with a cloak though
@@Marcus51090 was that ever said?
Ferengi ALWAYS have blue fingernails (bluish silverish sometimes greenish)
Delta flyer pretty please
I understand the need to destroy the first Defiant, but why go to the expense and trouble of the bridge redress for only two or three shows?
Yeah. It’s bizarre. They should have just destroyed the original in the finale.
What's the music? I need it in my earholes!
that's twice Sisko was told by another of lower rank that it was time to go.... once in the first episode by a Bolian... and once by Miles
One question I always had about the Sao Paulo was whether it had a cloaking device like the original Defiant, I'd assume not but given the alliance between the Romulans and Federation and Klingons... who knows?
It should be U.S.S. Defiant NCC-1764-A after the first Defiant that appeared in TOS, Episode 3x09 "The Tholian Web".
DS9's Defiant had a different registry number (NX-74205) to the TOS ship. There are countless ships that have old names but when the registry number is carried over on special ships like the Enterprise, that's when we get "A", "B" etc. The true Defiant-A is the Sao Paulo.
