I live in Montreal the city with the 1998 Ice strom and big power faillure, I was a 10 years old kid, and we missed power for at least 4 weeks! I remember right after the storm, I went outside to shovel the show an ice in the driver way! I will always remember that deep overwelming feeling of stillness, All I could here were tree branches cracking everywhere and big branches fallen down everywhere, besides the cracking, a deep and intense silence! It was a rough time I will never forget!
I lived near the Western edge of that storm. The gas station I was working at was the last station open until you got near Quebec City. Nearly 600 kilometers of ice and blackout. Most of the people stopping for gas were Hydro crews heading east. We ran out of gas around 6pm.
This is glorious, I've been looking for "city disaster game" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Landonfen Disaster Genie - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my m8 got amazing results with it.
Superb series, really puts our day-to-day worries and even the worst calamities of recorded history into perspective. The most sobering thing - there's nothing to say any of these catastrophes will not happen again, indeed for most of them it approaches certainty - just a matter of time...
My mom and I referred to ourselves as the gray haired, geezer granny, geyser gazers...Once in my youth and again in 2010...I'll never tire of Yellowstone's wonders!
Loved this series ! And I love Tony ! Also I'm pleasantly surprised to see a documentary mentioning Montreal's ''crise du verglas'' ! It was really horrible.
Naked Science + : An excellent presentation, so typical of *_Naked Science_* . In particular, 41:58 - 42:39, the _super 'BB' gun and 'ice sheet' earth surface protector_ experiment was exceptionally fascinating. The 'BB', just over 1/8"Ø, literally *_exploded_* on impact from the kinetic energy produced/imparted as a result of firing the gun!!! 🤯 W/out the _ice sheet_ protector, 'BB' impact on _experimental earth's_ surface produced a perfectly circular/round _crater_ , even though the shot was made at an acute angle. The 'BB" reached speeds 5 times that of sound, its impact evidence of _explosive_ force! It looks to be extremely fortunate that we here on earth "haven't been unlucky...yet"... Well worth time spent watching! 🤗🤗🤗 Accordingly, it is given the _YT_ 'thumbs-up' 👍🏻 award!
Mr. Baldrick!!! What a nice surprise! This is the same accent of Mr Robinson I remember from the set of series named "I have a cunning plan..." What a brilliant personality! Nice to meet you again Mr Robinson ;)
thanks for the upload.This has been a great series,Geology 101. The one question I have is why the clock stops at the present. Why not a series on the future in the same vein as the past 5 episodes? Wikipedia says this is a certainty for a variety of reasons.Lets go!
Here's one on the future: th-cam.com/video/PyMkD6pUWlg/w-d-xo.html . I know it's 4 years after your comment, but thought I would mention it for others as well. It's done really well. Basically it's a future history lesson (portrayed in the future and discussing the past, i.e. present day-ish).
It isn't true, look it up. They experimented with nukes and they blamed it on volcanoes. But all these countries were like yeah, ok, you're a liar. So we haven't seen anything going on since.
A friend and I visited Lake Toba in the 1990's. We stayed on the little island of Samosir in the lake. Not till later did I learn that the lake formed from the caldera of an ancient supervolcano.
@@beastmaster0934 True! I've read that Mt. Toba last blew around 70,000 years ago, and made the Tambora eruption of 1815 (which caused the worldwide "year without a summer" in 1816) look like a firecracker by comparison! 😱
Blatant use of Final Fantasy VII background music! 36:08 . 31 seconds straight key for key, then it diverges slightly from the original, then the original for 20 more seconds. Greatest. Game. Ever. Love the cameo.
If you're referring to the comet fragments that hit during the Younger-Dryas period, it is looking more and more like it was a 3-5 km comet that fragmented into different pieces. British Columbia, the Great lakes region of the US, and Greenland were all impacted. Impacted or had an airburst explosion.
According to the Brits, are geysers (pronounced GEE ZAS) the same as an old fella, or a water heater ? Don't get me wrong, I love Tony Robinson, & enjoy a good language joke.......

@ TWOHAWK 1, a comet, actually. And closer to 13,000 years ago. About 12,900, give or take a few decades. Also they haven't conclusively dated the Hiawatha impact crater yet.
Once again, I'm glad I was born in England. No volcano's, no hurricanes, no twisters, few earthquakes, no poisonous snakes and spiders. But lots of history, architecture, language and beauty.
Watching the last part, where they used the ice. I have a question. If about 1 mile of ice was surrounding the area... WTF BURNED? Trees and other vegetation was non-existent. So what was the boar eating. For this too be possible the area couldn't have been covered in ice. Also the ice would have had to be at least that mile thick. While the BB they used may have been going as fast as an inbound meteor. It doesn't have the power to weight ration to make it a valid comparison. Imho an air detonation would seem more likely. It more simply explains the lack of a crater. The Tunguska blast was a small asteroid and look at how it spread and again no real crater, not like you would normally expect. But where was the fire? This was right among trees. With our sky view imagery I have read or seen somewhere they found what appears to be the crater. However a high concentration iron meteor with low cohesion, say do to fracturing or impurities. Super heated by friction the Earth's atmosphere exploding above ground. That would be like spraying thermite.
I have been fortunate enough to visit Yellowstone Park, roughly 8-10 times in the past 35 years. It is truly incredible! However, during all of my visits there, I was completely unaware that millions of other tourists visit this volcanic park, to view “its remarkable number of GEEZERS!” Geysers, YES…..but during all of my trips to the US’s 1st National Park, I have never noticed there being an inordinate number of GEEZERS, anywhere throughout this amazing geological site! SMH
40:49 to 40:54 - you can see that the ice is not an even thickness - it is much thinner in the centre - why did he do this? is the thickness in the centre the correct thickness to simulate the ice sheet? this was never explained in the video. I am guessing that maybe he had to make the edges thicker for handling purposes - so that the sheet would not break, and that the centre thickness is correct.
anonomousous Yes, you're right. The series covers extinction events that enabled the rise of mammals, eventually. The man hosting the series states that at least every other paragraph. Sorry, I'm not an expert. I do enjoy dabbling lightly in pre-history. I'm guessing that the Cambrian-Ordovician extinction event was not a factor in the eventual rise of mammals on Earth. How's that for a snappy come back?
@Southeastern777 But its not over yet, so your post is subjective. We do not know the total affect of COVID 19 until its sentence is ended with a period. For now, its .........
@@jamepearson Exactly, we are still itching to get vaccinated against a virus that is not completely understood, with a 98% chance of recovery unless you have a comorbidity , even so people have recover from that.
firing that 1/8 inch projectile at Mach 15 goes to show that even a small object at high velocity can turn kinetic energy into explosive energy when its stopped by a solid surface with devastating results
Brian Hill when the kt event happened the rock entering the atmosphere at 55,000mph caused burns to any living organism beneath it from the intense radiant heat generated by the bright light
We're about to start opening many new doors into things that could turn into the extinction of the human race. We soup up dangerous viruses at leaky labs around the world doing gain of function research. Luckily covid has a sub 1% mortality rate. But we do the same kind of research with viruses that have a 60% mortality rate. AI is another one that'll be here very soon and could end up horribly for us. Then yeah good old fashioned nuclear war but with new hypersonic missiles that can't be stopped or called back. Fun times
@@AceSpadeThePikachu absolutely 💯 There's a 12% chance that we get hit with a Carrington Event level CME in the next decade, and yeah asteroids are a real threat as well. It looks like the Younger-Dryas period was a Taurid fragment. In 2017 astronomers discovered a new branch of the Taurid Meteor Stream which contained thousands of comet fragments between tens of meters up to a kilometer. We pass through pretty close to the swarm next year, and then in 2032 we go directly through the dead center of the densest part of the swarm and then again in 2036. Also the summer Taurids are all in heliocentric orbits meaning that they can't be spotted with Earth based telescopes usually until right before they hit because they come from the direction of the sun. So we'll be sitting ducks.
@@granddaddykaddy1788 An asteroid doesn't have to by dinosaur-extinction sized to wreak havoc. If one air bolide like that of Tunguska hit a major city the damage and death toll would be catastrophic. (The Tunguska explosion was estimated to be 12 megatons, comparable to Castle Bravo.) New computer models suggest that there is a SLIGHT chance using a ICBM to blow and asteroid away COULD work if we have at least a few weeks notice...but there are a whole lot of asterisk's on that and a looot more research needs to be done.
if the impact happend on the surface, how did the burnt bone and iron layer, end up deep in a cave, did a giant plonk a huge pile of rock on top of it ? your going to tell me it got washed in their, but if that is the case, the clovis layer would have to be much higher up
Yeh, but Tony Robinson portrayed Baldrick in the 1980s. After that he transitioned to being a presenter of programmes such as Time Team, and this series such as this one, which was first broadcast in 2008.
Almost as compensatory as the guys driving muscle cars and big noisy Harleys for the attention. Almost, but nothing is as compensatory, and annoying, as those guys.
A lot of questions are not asked or nor is an answer looked for; 1 for example is that every scientist or researcher assumes an Asteroid , Comet or Meteor would hit dead on the earth or straight into the planet while some might hit in a glancing blow. 2- If a one of the three did hit in the deepest part or close of the ocean 5 to 7 miles deep it would not go 20 miles deep into the ocean as presumed in the Mexican offshore hit. That much water would certainly slow the projectile to some degree while boiling the water to the point of causing a major Hydrogen explosion in the sea.and area for many miles around. 3- If the projectile hi the sea at a glancing blow from a 45degree angle it could even go though the sea water and most be ejected back out of the atmosphere into orbit or space pr burned out in re-entery. 4= A meteor or asteroid going into the sea at such an angle or even less could travel though 50 miles of water anbd lose most of it's punch in the propcess. 5= A well planned nuclear strick on the projectile after entery could well dis[erse most of it into small fragments before it struck water or land. either way on water would be to our best interests..
The mexican offshore hit refered to was the KT impact event by an object the size of everest. The Yucatan sea is a shallow water sea (as seas go) shock absorption would have been minimal. It all depends on object mass and velocity. A sufficiently large object, moving at a suffisciently high spead would cause massive devestation, regardless of a land or water impact, regardless of angle of trajectory. It's generally agreed that any impactor of more than 5km diameter is likely to cause global devestation, perhaps not from the intial impact but from the following disruption of the ecosystem and modern life that the death toll would be large indeed. As for the trajectory, again, that all depends on mass and velocity, not to mention the fact the object in question would be super heated from atmospheric re-entry. A large impactor coasting through the atlantic ocean could have devastating consequences to sea life and over all ocean eco system, including tsunami, that would threaten coastal life and vaporaisation of vast quantitys of water being put into the atmosphere casuing irregular and dangerous weather. A nuclear strike on an incoming asteroid could be more disastrous that you might first think. turning a single large impactor into many smaller impactors that would strike over a larger area. The results would be too unpredictable to be unfeasable unless it was that or face definite extinction.
They have found wooly mammoths frozen solid with food still in their mouths and some suspended frozen in ice which indicates that they froze instantly. What could flash freeze animals designed to live in cold weather? What could cause it to get that cold instantly? It almost seems that the Earth's atmosphere was pushed back for a time exposing the Earth to the freezing temperatures of space.
I love how he has me picturing a park full of old people because of the way he says geysers like geezers and it's slang in Michigan USA for old people. I don't know if it is in a lot of other places. Why he says geysers wrong makes me wonder if it's just him or a British thing.
That is how it is pronounced here in England...and we use the term to mean Steam (from natural vents) and Old men...Geysers...and Geezers. English is a collection of words and phrases taken from all over Europe and our own invention. Other words were accepted into our language as we were invaded by... the Danes and the French..and the Romans.....we are an island.....hundreds of years before your country was even discovered, our language was evolving ..as it still is...innit? As is yours...
As an earth scientist, I can see an interesting collection of facts and assumptions but unfortunately assumptions are prevailed. Anyway it is interesting watching this serial and I hope it will attract young blud to earth sciences.
interesting that you bring up the quebec ice storms. The power lines were brought down by a build up of ice on the lines. The weather front that caused this was not a first occurance in Canada and had been forecast for at least 2 weeks prior. An engineer working for Quebec hydro had proposed that they heat up the lines with shorts to ground that would heat up the lines and melt the ice at the cost of a few thousand dollars worth of electricity. Quebec Hydro said no thanks, The federal gov't would bail them out and pay to rebuild the lines anyway. Canadian Military moved in to provide help and if you didn't speak French you were not allowed out of the compounds after 9pm. The Quebec politicians have spent decades trying to make their population think the Anglos all hate them. They could not allow us to actually have civil discourse with their people.
Ok. As far as the theory of 'mysterious circumstances' burning and killing off the mammoth creatures (about 35 min.) being an asteroid without producing a crater - HERE is THE big question: If a layer of ice as deep as a mile (or even less) prevented a crater from forming, then that same ICE would ITSELF have been enough of a layer to prevent both Mammoths AND the Clovis people from having vegetation to eat to begin with. They state that ice covered much of N. America during that part of the Clovis Era. This is a contradiction disregarded or not addressed in this video. Isn't it possible that what happened in Ohio, is just like Tegunska - an asteroid exploding before it hit the Earth? Good video & scenery, overall. I wonder why, if there is evidence that an asteroid the size of the Tunguska Event happens every 100 years or so. Why don't we have more information on one for each of say, the last 1,000 years? Do we? I'd love a video on that! And curiously, they mention European Boars...not North American...why?
Graham Hancock et al have written in depth about this Younger Dryas impact event and also conclude that the Wisconsin (continental) ice sheet received the brunt of the asteroid impact and the meltwaters created Lake Missoula in Montana and subsequent geologic features.
He doesn’t have any evidence for that and he isn’t a archeologist but a sociologist. I’m not saying that he is therefore wrong because he has the wrong credentials but it does call into question his claims and why we should be very skeptical about them.
I live in Montreal the city with the 1998 Ice strom and big power faillure, I was a 10 years old kid, and we missed power for at least 4 weeks!

I am guessing that maybe he had to make the edges thicker for handling purposes - so that the sheet would not break, and that the centre thickness is correct.
that still doesnt explain, how the clovis layer, ended up at the bottom of a deep cave
10 meters (about 32.5 feet) isn't deep, and there are lots of places where glacial till is much thicker than that.
So now they know it was the Younger Dryas impact, multiple comet fragment impacts
Likely anyway, the evidence keeps piling up.
Don't worry. I have a cunning plan.
As cunning as a fox who's just been appointed professor of cunning at Oxford University?
10:47 man, the power of those old geezers
Wonder how the more common use of geezers got started. 🧐🤔
..also Taupo in New Zealand @ 26,000bp
The 1998 ice storm hit Maine badly too
Good series... but I'm surprised they didn't cover the Cambrian Extinction.
Episode 3.
TheErik249 No they didn't. That was the Permian Extinction.
anonomousous Yes, you're right. The series covers extinction events that enabled the rise of mammals, eventually. The man hosting the series states that at least every other paragraph. Sorry, I'm not an expert. I do enjoy dabbling lightly in pre-history. I'm guessing that the Cambrian-Ordovician extinction event was not a factor in the eventual rise of mammals on Earth. How's that for a snappy come back?
2020 and Covid-19. Hold my beer.
Compared to a asteroid covid isnt nothing. If we get hit by one we would wish it was covid
well we are going to be fine. So we actually did get lucky.
However.. the sequely of covid19 will be felt for decades
@Southeastern777 But its not over yet, so your post is subjective. We do not know the total affect of COVID 19 until its sentence is ended with a period. For now, its .........
@@jamepearson
Exactly, we are still itching to get vaccinated against a virus that is not completely understood, with a 98% chance of recovery unless you have a comorbidity , even so people have recover from that.
the more I learn about humanity, the more I think it is doomed anyway
firing that 1/8 inch projectile at Mach 15 goes to show that even a small object at high velocity can turn kinetic energy into explosive energy when its stopped by a solid surface with devastating results
The impact crater right
Brian Hill yep look at the crater near Winslow AZ, its 550 feet deep and 1 mile across
OK I will
Brian Hill when the kt event happened the rock entering the atmosphere at 55,000mph caused burns to any living organism beneath it from the intense radiant heat generated by the bright light
Oh thanks
So, what wiped out european mega fauna?
super like these :)
The biggest threat to human civilization right now is ourselves, either my nuclear war or pollution.
We're about to start opening many new doors into things that could turn into the extinction of the human race. We soup up dangerous viruses at leaky labs around the world doing gain of function research. Luckily covid has a sub 1% mortality rate. But we do the same kind of research with viruses that have a 60% mortality rate. AI is another one that'll be here very soon and could end up horribly for us. Then yeah good old fashioned nuclear war but with new hypersonic missiles that can't be stopped or called back. Fun times
@@granddaddykaddy1788 Not to mention our utter unpreparedness for cosmic catastrophes, like asteroids and coronal mass ejections.
@@AceSpadeThePikachu absolutely 💯
There's a 12% chance that we get hit with a Carrington Event level CME in the next decade, and yeah asteroids are a real threat as well. It looks like the Younger-Dryas period was a Taurid fragment. In 2017 astronomers discovered a new branch of the Taurid Meteor Stream which contained thousands of comet fragments between tens of meters up to a kilometer. We pass through pretty close to the swarm next year, and then in 2032 we go directly through the dead center of the densest part of the swarm and then again in 2036. Also the summer Taurids are all in heliocentric orbits meaning that they can't be spotted with Earth based telescopes usually until right before they hit because they come from the direction of the sun. So we'll be sitting ducks.
@@granddaddykaddy1788 An asteroid doesn't have to by dinosaur-extinction sized to wreak havoc. If one air bolide like that of Tunguska hit a major city the damage and death toll would be catastrophic. (The Tunguska explosion was estimated to be 12 megatons, comparable to Castle Bravo.)
New computer models suggest that there is a SLIGHT chance using a ICBM to blow and asteroid away COULD work if we have at least a few weeks notice...but there are a whole lot of asterisk's on that and a looot more research needs to be done.
Volume is low but good video
if the impact happend on the surface, how did the burnt bone and iron layer, end up deep in a cave, did a giant plonk a huge pile of rock on top of it ? your going to tell me it got washed in their, but if that is the case, the clovis layer would have to be much higher up
Earth lays new layers. Also there are natural weather events such as floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, storms, and human and animal habitation.
This boldrik brom blackadder?
Yeh, but Tony Robinson portrayed Baldrick in the 1980s. After that he transitioned to being a presenter of programmes such as Time Team, and this series such as this one, which was first broadcast in 2008.
The guy towards the end is WAY too excited about shooting his big gun!
Almost as compensatory as the guys driving muscle cars and big noisy Harleys for the attention. Almost, but nothing is as compensatory, and annoying, as those guys.
Thank you ever so much for proving Graham Hancock Theory!
A pig like creature the size of a wild boar,well I suppose that would be a wild boar
We should ask Asterix and Obelix.
one day we be next !
The reading is "8". Awesome metric.

Scientist fires the super gun, wow, that was big ! Janitorial staff that night, wow, what a mess !
A lot of questions are not asked or nor is an answer looked for; 1 for example is that every scientist or researcher assumes an Asteroid , Comet or Meteor would hit dead on the earth or straight into the planet while some might hit in a glancing blow.
2- If a one of the three did hit in the deepest part or close of the ocean 5 to 7 miles deep it would not go 20 miles deep into the ocean as presumed in the Mexican offshore hit. That much water would certainly slow the projectile to some degree while boiling the water to the point of causing a major Hydrogen explosion in the sea.and area for many miles around.
3- If the projectile hi the sea at a glancing blow from a 45degree angle it could even go though the sea water and most be ejected back out of the atmosphere into orbit or space pr burned out in re-entery.
4= A meteor or asteroid going into the sea at such an angle or even less could travel though 50 miles of water anbd lose most of it's punch in the propcess.
5= A well planned nuclear strick on the projectile after entery could well dis[erse most of it into small fragments before it struck water or land. either way on water would be to our best interests..
The mexican offshore hit refered to was the KT impact event by an object the size of everest. The Yucatan sea is a shallow water sea (as seas go) shock absorption would have been minimal.
It all depends on object mass and velocity. A sufficiently large object, moving at a suffisciently high spead would cause massive devestation, regardless of a land or water impact, regardless of angle of trajectory. It's generally agreed that any impactor of more than 5km diameter is likely to cause global devestation, perhaps not from the intial impact but from the following disruption of the ecosystem and modern life that the death toll would be large indeed. As for the trajectory, again, that all depends on mass and velocity, not to mention the fact the object in question would be super heated from atmospheric re-entry. A large impactor coasting through the atlantic ocean could have devastating consequences to sea life and over all ocean eco system, including tsunami, that would threaten coastal life and vaporaisation of vast quantitys of water being put into the atmosphere casuing irregular and dangerous weather.
A nuclear strike on an incoming asteroid could be more disastrous that you might first think. turning a single large impactor into many smaller impactors that would strike over a larger area. The results would be too unpredictable to be unfeasable unless it was that or face definite extinction.
Two thirds of the world's geezers are all in one place, its gonna kick off and someone's getting hurt!
Vinnie Jones.
They have found wooly mammoths frozen solid with food still in their mouths and some suspended frozen in ice which indicates that they froze instantly. What could flash freeze animals designed to live in cold weather? What could cause it to get that cold instantly? It almost seems that the Earth's atmosphere was pushed back for a time exposing the Earth to the freezing temperatures of space.
I love how he has me picturing a park full of old people because of the way he says geysers like geezers and it's slang in Michigan USA for old people. I don't know if it is in a lot of other places. Why he says geysers wrong makes me wonder if it's just him or a British thing.
That is how it is pronounced here in England...and we use the term to mean Steam (from natural vents) and Old men...Geysers...and Geezers.
English is a collection of words and phrases taken from all over Europe and our own invention. Other words were accepted into our language as we were invaded by... the Danes and the French..and the Romans.....we are an island.....hundreds of years before your country was even discovered, our language was evolving ..as it still is...innit?
As is yours...
Geezers isn’t unique to Michigan at all. Kind of old fashioned though I think. Also somewhat rude 😂
ohh dear we saw the big lump but missed the ufo waving to us as it went bye
A lot of geezers do indeed visit Yellowstone lol!
Not true bigger the chamber the deadlier the eruption. ITS THE TYPE OF LAVA..OR SPECIFICALLY MAGNA.
As an earth scientist, I can see an interesting collection of facts and assumptions but unfortunately assumptions are prevailed. Anyway it is interesting watching this serial and I hope it will attract young blud to earth sciences.
Learn how to spell blud ....BLOOD
Hey hey now, no need to be mean about it buddy, js, have a wonderful day!
Two thirds of the worlds geezers in the park is probably not an inaccurate statement, whether we’re talking geysers or the elderly

Volcanos, earthquakes, comets, solar flares. Our times got to be running out. Enjoy today because tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.
thats good plenty of firewood and we dont have to chop it down
interesting that you bring up the quebec ice storms. The power lines were brought down by a build up of ice on the lines. The weather front that caused this was not a first occurance in Canada and had been forecast for at least 2 weeks prior. An engineer working for Quebec hydro had proposed that they heat up the lines with shorts to ground that would heat up the lines and melt the ice at the cost of a few thousand dollars worth of electricity. Quebec Hydro said no thanks, The federal gov't would bail them out and pay to rebuild the lines anyway.
Canadian Military moved in to provide help and if you didn't speak French you were not allowed out of the compounds after 9pm. The Quebec politicians have spent decades trying to make their population think the Anglos all hate them. They could not allow us to actually have civil discourse with their people.
10:45 is when he says geezers
Ok. As far as the theory of 'mysterious circumstances' burning and killing off the mammoth creatures (about 35 min.) being an asteroid without producing a crater - HERE is THE big question: If a layer of ice as deep as a mile (or even less) prevented a crater from forming, then that same ICE would ITSELF have been enough of a layer to prevent both Mammoths AND the Clovis people from having vegetation to eat to begin with. They state that ice covered much of N. America during that part of the Clovis Era. This is a contradiction disregarded or not addressed in this video. Isn't it possible that what happened in Ohio, is just like Tegunska - an asteroid exploding before it hit the Earth? Good video & scenery, overall. I wonder why, if there is evidence that an asteroid the size of the Tunguska Event happens every 100 years or so. Why don't we have more information on one for each of say, the last 1,000 years? Do we? I'd love a video on that! And curiously, they mention European Boars...not North American...why?
Graham Hancock et al have written in depth about this Younger Dryas impact event and also conclude that the Wisconsin (continental) ice sheet received the brunt of the asteroid impact and the meltwaters created Lake Missoula in Montana and subsequent geologic features.
He doesn’t have any evidence for that and he isn’t a archeologist but a sociologist. I’m not saying that he is therefore wrong because he has the wrong credentials but it does call into question his claims and why we should be very skeptical about them.
the ice slab is not thick enough is it!
