Youtube daily report Jun 7 2017

This is another update in my continuing coverage of KIC 8462852 or Boyajian's star for June

6, 2017.

For the extensive backstory on this star, check out my other updates on this channel

or the playlist dedicated to the subject.

Links to all of the mentioned papers and websites in this update are in the description below.

Firstly, Dr. Boyajian appeared on the Wow!

Signal podcast yesterday and updated what's known so far from the most recent dip starting

from about May 18 and continuing on, and possibly even still continuing, more on that in a minute.

The most recent major dip, dubbed the Elsie dip, lasted about 4 days, but was preceded

by a period of minor activity.

The Elsie dip seems to have been a pretty drastic drop followed by a sort of sawtooth

return to normal levels.

The good news is that lots of eyes were on this dip as it happened and more data was

collected than what was possible with Kepler.

Most significantly, I suspect, is the color data.

Dr. Boyajian tweeted at the time and mentioned in the podcast that the there was a greater

dip in blue light than red.

This would probably favor dust or gas and that seems to be where the thinking is going.

We'll probably know more about this soon as Dr. Boyajian tweeted a few days ago that

a preliminary paper should be out within a few weeks.

Hopefully that might help clear things up.

She also pointed out that it's premature to conclude that there is periodicity present

in the data, and she also noted that the new dip doesn't fit the dips in the Kepler light

curve exactly, so that essentially means that nothing has really been ruled out yet, including

the interstellar material theory.

Also, she noted that there was nothing extraordinary in the ultraviolet or infrared.

A lack of infrared, if indeed that's what all this means, is also not surprising since

previous research by Dr. Boyajian and her colleagues didn't detect infrared excess

either.

But taken on its own, a lack of infrared is pretty interesting.

It would imply that whatever material is blocking the star is either cold or below the threshold

of what the instrumentation can detect.

That would be a strike against a warm cloud of dust like a debris disc around a young

star, but that's never really been on the table to begin with.

So that's a summary of what was said on the podcast but there are a few other things

going that are of interest.

Bruce Gary, a rather well-equipped private observer, has been taking photometry of KIC

8462852 and posting his data on his website.

While you can't infer too much, observations like this from limited data are not always

accurate and these small dips could just be noise, but his measurements do suggest that

the minor dipping continues.

If this is consistent with the Kepler data, than a major dip may be on the way, perhaps

on level with the 16 and 22 percent dips that Kepler saw.

We shall see.

Another development is a revised version of a paper by Peter Foukal that gives an explanation

intrinsic to the star itself.

Essentially variations in the magnetic and atmospheric conditions of the star could be

responsible for the dips.

It's an interesting paper, and if it were proven to be the case, one wonders why we

only see this magnitude of variation in brightness with this star and, so far, no others.

But, it's worth noting that other anomalous stars do exist, and in some cases are perhaps

just as weird or weirder than KIC 8462852, see my video on this channel about Przybylski's

star for an example.

And finally, as usual, it gets weirder with this star.

I must caveat here in that I personally think that it is overwhelmingly likely that we're

seeing a natural event with this star.

I think it's reasonable to say that it's a very rare natural event, but odds are these

are probably not alien megastructures.

I would also say that given the long-term dimming, if this is an alien civilization,

then they are constructing things so rapidly that it defies practicality and the physical

constraints on engineering structures in space as we understand it.

Even molecular nanotech would have a hard time with this one.

A giant dust cloud around a star would not however, nor would something intrinsic to

the star itself et cetera.

That said, as Arthur Clarke once pointed out, any sufficiently advanced alien civilization's

technology would be indistinguishable from magic, so while I am skeptical, I also recognize

that we have no idea what an alien civilization would look like since we haven't seen one

yet.

All we can really do is speculate from the position of what we know about ourselves and

our civilization and what's hypothetically possible in science.

So while I consider an alien explanation highly unlikely, I report whatever credible information

comes out on this star that I find, be it data or papers, and provide links to that

material so you can draw your own conclusions.

That said, down the rabbit hole we go.

The first bit of oddness, which may mean nothing, is something James Davenport and David Wilson

tweeted.

Studying the Galex data taken of the star a few years ago, there seems to be some kind

of roughly 80 second pattern in that data.

This would normally scream instrument noise, but apparently it wasn't seen in a nearby

star, so it's anyone's guess just what this is if it indeed indicates a real feature

of this star.

We shall see.

The second bit of weirdness has to do with a .88 day fluctuation seen in the Kepler data.

Boyajian and her colleagues advanced that this is indicative of the rotation of the

star itself.

Another take came from Valeri Makarov where it was suggested that this fluctuation is

really just interference from a nearby star.

In a paper by Andrew Collins and Rodney Hale, they offer something else.

I urge caution here, it's interesting, but danger Wil Robinson this is probably just

the star rotating.

Much of the paper deals with the shapes of objects that could produce the dips in the

Kepler light curve.

I've seen a lot of variation in models of this, and there are any number of interpretations,

some of which I've covered in previous videos.

Only more data is going to clear that up but the paper also notes something really odd,

though I personally think it's pure coincidence, and to the credit of the authors they caveat

that they are just suggesting and pointing something odd out that might be worth some

attention.

They state that the .88 day periodicity coincides with numerical aspects of our own solar cycle,

and a further apparent periodicity in the Kepler light curve of 48.4 days coincides

with our solar calendar every 242 days.

Long story short, they state that all of these numbers boil down to multiples of 11.

Again, they are careful to warn that this may just be a coincidence.

And, I must admit, I hope it is coincidence because this would imply that an alien civilization

over 1300 light-years away knows that earth is habitable, has the right atmospheric mix

for intelligent life to develop, have calculated our orbit and are sending a visual message

to us just in case we're here.

I guess that's not all that different from the idea of an alien civilization beaming

a radio signal towards us, one of the things that SETI searches for.

And I really think it's just the star rotating and it's all a coincidence.

But it's interesting nonetheless and a bit creepy.

What a weird star.

Interview with Akuzawa Minoru, founder of the Aunkai Bujutsu - Duration: 23:25.

I think it was when I was young like 19 or 20 that I joined a Chinese bujutsu association.

This is where I learned basics like posture, etc.

I learned what they call the kihon renko of Chinese bujitsu.

As I practiced those things,

I realized I didn't really like performing kata.

Then I heard of another sport that came from China called Sanda.

It had close combat matches wearing headgear that included striking, kicking, punching, and throwing.

I didn't have any experience at that time,

and I got to know someone who had mastered the combat systems in the Japan Self-Defense Forces.

I learned things like striking, kicking, and throwing from him,

but since it was personal training,

it wasn't like the conventional training at dojo where they would learn the basics together step by step.

We rather picked certain points and concentrated on those.

We also asked for volunteers to practice with us and he told me how to move as we practiced.

He was a really smart person, his training was unique and much more detailed than the conventional training,

including how to use our body, and it was good, it really helped.

It really helped for the competitions such as Sanda.

I think it's good to participate in competitions while you are young.

You might win or lose but it'll be good experience anyway.

Then, there is also a koryu teacher from whom I learned a lot in terms of skills

and regarding the establishment of Aunkai.

He had mastered taijutsu and kenjutsu from his school but now that I think of it,

he didn't have a training manual per se like basic training, kata, kumiuchi, and then taijin.

But he taught me how the human body worked technically, psychologically, and biologically, and about posture,

how I should stand, things like that.

And he told me to take that home and to practice it.

It was like that for 10 months to a year.

It was indeed a short time,

but it constitutes the essence of what we do when I teach since I created the Aunkai.

And when I turned a certain age,

I started asking myself how I would take my power and speed to the next level.

So before I turned 30, I decided to learn from a Sensei known for Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu.

It was very helpful too,

He taught me that it wasn't about external forces

He taught me how to be able to use internal forces rather than something external like muscles.

Those practices are reflected in Aunkai as well.

I also learned how to use my body, more of physical technique, from masters of conventional Aikido, Daito-ryu, or Aiki.

In Japanese, we say "Aun no kokyu",

and some think of it as like the Yin/Yang from Chinese Taichi,

the InYo [陰陽], like in taikyoku [太極]

But originally, "A Un" in Sanskrit means the beginning of an event and the end of it

and that continues forever,

In bujutsu, if there is a beginning, there is also an end and there is this feeling that you have until the end, and the movement continues forever.

Through that, we create phenomena in different ways.

That's how I came to name it Aun.

At shrines and temples also,

there are two bodies like komainu, aun or kongo rikishi or nio statues,

there are different names for them but you see two statues in front of shrines or temples.

So deeply in the Japanese history, there is also a meaning, and I think that's why they have those statues.

Well of course, in the history, there is Japanese culture, and there are religious or philosophical aspects.

Having all those meanings, I think it's a wonderful word. That's why I named it Aunkai.

Even though Aunkai is not limited to a specific school or category,

we try to master those simply things taking into account the nature of a human body like two arms and two feet.

We focus on building our body,

including conditioning it externally all over the body like muscles, bones, and so on.

Once we are done with it, we do internally.

This is the most important thing and it takes a lot of time.

We have continuous tanren or training to develop our internal energy.

They call it "naiko" in Chinese bujutsu and I call it "naido".

This tanren is to deeply recognize those techniques and ideas by structuring your training yourself and working hard on it.

I think tanren is absolutely needed in bujitsu if you want to widen your teihen.

And this kind of…I would say correct way of training

including how you breathe and move,

is to learn to move your body from muscle memory,

to maintain that condition when you are relaxed,

and to recognize the condition of your body when you are facing someone.

At Aunkai, from the beginning,

we have given much importance to this recognition training,

to recognize the condition of your body as well as that of your opponent.

This becomes the core and it helps us develop our body

and adapt to other ryuhas such as martial arts, taijutsu, and jujutsu.

As we turn the body, we have different applications and techniques.

We develop those skills through practice with others.

That is the kind of training we mainly do.

We don't really use existing, conventional katas or forms but instead,

we use the logic and mechanisms

that I learned from my past teachers as the basis of training and further analyze it as we practice.

When doing this, the way we move gradually changes as we step up.

and in fact, the way I move and how I am on the inside are completely different from how they were when I was younger.

This I call human experiment, human experiment using your own body.

I guess it's fun and interesting to see how your body changes.

I think that's one of the unique things about Aunkai.

Most of the people who come to Aunkai have various backgrounds and practiced different ryuhas

and they may have found a limit in their previous ways of tanren or training

and they may also have their challenges and questions as to what to choose

and which parts to learn more deeply.

I reflect on those things when I teach.

Well ultimately it's what humans do.

I guess tradition is very important.

But I guess in the process of learning,

we may go through changes and find or notice new things.

Those kinds of things, I get to verify through teaching using my body and telling people.

That kind of free style or thinking I guess is the most interesting thing about Aunkai,

and I think that kind of thinking is very unique to Aunkai.

Conventionally, they have predetermined paths.

But at Aunkai, there are different kinds of people to begin with,

like foreigners.

As I also teach different things abroad,

I deal with people from different cultures and races, with different ways of thinking.

But when they take each other's hands,

well that way that's body to body,

I think they work hard in keiko or training regardless of language.

In japanese, "keiko" is like training, "renshu",

in English, you say "practice".

It can have different meanings but what I mean by keiko

is closer to what it meant in the bujutsu and budo from the time of the Samurai.

"Shosa" [所作, conduct] or "Saho" [作法, etiquette]

Those developed since the age of Samurai all come from the lifestyle aimed to learn those bodily movements through techniques in everyday life.

It enables you to constantly move your body logically and efficiently

without anything preventing and the body to function that way.

So keiko is something that takes into account those techniques

"Training" is usually interpreted as training your body,

your muscles as you have weight training or something training.

And practice is to repeat, like katageiko, repeat the same thing like kata,

I think that practice means to repeat those things.

I guess that training your body is the same across sports, budo, and bujutsu,

but actually I think the most important thing is the way you think,

the way you process what happens around you and a huge amount of information.

What I mean is that we have to think actively and comprehensively

about our nervous system and how our body works psychologically and biologically.

The reason is that as we do training continuously and repeatedly,

sometimes we end up doing it mindlessly without knowing what is important and what is needed.

So in training, in the process of intensely training your body,

there is a need to learn to slow down and relax your mind and body.

Normally, people may think of training as intense training where you challenge your limit like this

but it's not only that,

you also need to take your time to nurture your imagination through slow, quiet training.

This Aunkai way, well my way of thinking is very unique.

And in reality, in a fight, because things keep changing, you have to be able to process information extremely fast.

Of course, to think fast is very important in that kind of situation,

but in training and because it's training,

I think you also need to purposely slow down and to recognize the technique of creating a relation between you and your opponent.

And I think that is also the fundamental technique that we have developed in bujitsu

to avoid a fight when you face your opponent like hyoushi, ma, and timing and all that.

That technique is like something that one learns and obtains as like another sense through hard work and time.

And when your body and your mind match, you will be able to control and use your body as you wish.

This is a very unique method of keiko at Aunkai.

WE GOT BRANDED FIDGET SPINNERS!! (GIVEAWAY CONTEST) - Duration: 8:26.

(Scream)

Ha ha ha.

We are going to be bruised on vacation, how are we going to go on a bathing suits.

Hint, hint we're going somewhere where we are wearing bathing suit's.

Ha ha ha.

And

that shot was created with this beauteous.

Good morning afternoon and life guys.

Thanks to the special effects of videography.

I actually shot that this afternoon.

This is way, way, way, way, way into the night now.

Approximately 9 o'clock.

So today I was getting rid of all this garbage.

And I still have to kind of go through all this.

Pretty sure that the cabinet that you just saw.

May look similar to one that you either have or may have seen at a relatives house.

We has humans like to hoard things.

Keep things that we think we're going to use in the future.

Like 50 years ago our grandparents grew up in a time where their parents had to budget

everything.

And you used everything until it got really, really, really, used.

It was not a throwaway society.

It was not the throwaway society that we live in.

Those traits got passed onto generation to generation.

Now Kaitlin and I are trying to break that.

Going to keep this little bin.

For about six months.

And if I don't use any things out of it.

Life gets lighter.

Such as we are now.

You might have seen that like whoa.

You look like you are 15 pounds lighter since the last video I just saw.

Yesterday.

Well I am guys because.

We just transferred 30, 40 days-ish. 35, 40 days into the future.

I'm going to get rid of that echo.

You might have noticed that our vlogs that were going up or from a month and a half

ago.

For the final time I will talk about this.

The computer was busted and we could not get our of vlogs up.

And get everything shot and done.

Until it was fixed.

We got it fixed.

And that was 30 days after we had already started vlogging.

We just could not catch up.

40 days out and we have a big trip that were taking now.

This week we are taking a trip.

We are going to be lighting up our socials.

And we want them to match the vlogs that are going up.

We want you guys to like, be there with us and be able to comment.

Like on what you want us to do.

This is the lighter version of me.

And this is the lighter version of Kaitlin.

Ha ha ha.

I didn't know I could get lighter.

Not skintone.

You're so funny.

Ha ha ha.

Also we wanted to bring this into the vlog finally.

It came in today.

You have no idea what I'm talking about.

They don't know about the thing behind you.

They don't.

Oh my God.

It's not necessarily a surprise but when we get back from.

I almost said where we were going to go.

When we get back.

We are going to start this.

And this is the new addition to.

He's going to start folding.

Yeah, don't, don't, don't mind the vlogs in the undies behind me.

Hey, don't look at that.

Let's open this.

So let's open this.

I was going to do snap and video at the same time.

What's this.

What is it.

Are you ready?

What is it.

Stop, stop, stop.

So most of the times when you guys see our openings and like Snapchat videos.

And what not.

I have to record like this.

I, I usually don't do a behind the scenes.

Ready, what is it.

Whoa!

They are a whole bunch of fidget spinner's.

Fidget spinner's.

Oh they are heavier than I thought.

I got one too.

It's got our little logo on it.

AND WE DANCE logo on it.

In AND WE DANCE blue of course.

Nice.

That was perfect timing.

So before we get to the good stuff guys.

This is a catch-up vlog.

That's enough.

I was that enough.

That's enough.

Then say it.

Say what?

What is it called.

Ketchup!

Ha ha ha.

I actually started 20 something 25 days ago.

Doing 10 push-ups and every day after that, I was doing a push-up on top of that.

And on top of that.

30, 31, 32.

You were at 34.

Tonight is 35.

Yeah.

I have to do 35 push-ups guys.

What I've been doing is leaving those at the end of the vlog.

We are going to do them right now.

Then, stay to the end.

We have a special announcement.

On how you guys can win.

So the rules is.

I have to put my hands underneath my shoulders.

Keep a flat back.

And not stick my booty in the air.

Kates going to count down because after about 20 something.

I start like passing out from talking.

I'm cramping up or something.

Keep going, get out of the way.

34.

Come on one more one more.

35.

Yay.

Director Averie was watching the entire time.

What, you were sitting back there watching the camera.

Oh she wants to be a director.

Oh that's also what's happened over the past 40 days.

We have found out that Averie is becoming a little director.

She just jumps on the camera and she's directing. it's so cute.

Hi.

Don't touch the lens.

For the push up rules.

What I have been doing is I can't go down.

Into like a break form.

I had to keep my arms and not fall asleep in the down position.

It's, it's, it's, it's a little difficult.

Because guess we have to do tomorrow.

36.

Some days you just whip through it.

I don't know.

It's like every other day.

Like yesterday I didn't struggle at all doing 34.

We just had the day we had.

You have the day you have.

Be the better.

Do the heart thing.

AND WE DANCE.

OK guys.

OK.

So we have all these, that we are giving away to like immediate fans, people friends.

And we have these.

Which we are going to give away to you guys.

Starting with the first 10 people to like and comment on this video.

Go to our Instagram like this picture and leave a comment there.

The first 10 people to do that.

On both of those platforms.

We will send you guys one free fidget spinner.

We will let you know if you won.

Do not put your address on there on the Internet.

Yeah we will send you guys a message.

Interview with Akuzawa Minoru, founder of the Aunkai Bujutsu - Duration: 23:25.

I think it was when I was young like 19 or 20 that I joined a Chinese bujutsu association.

This is where I learned basics like posture, etc.

I learned what they call the kihon renko of Chinese bujitsu.

As I practiced those things,

I realized I didn't really like performing kata.

Then I heard of another sport that came from China called Sanda.

It had close combat matches wearing headgear that included striking, kicking, punching, and throwing.

I didn't have any experience at that time,

and I got to know someone who had mastered the combat systems in the Japan Self-Defense Forces.

I learned things like striking, kicking, and throwing from him,

but since it was personal training,

it wasn't like the conventional training at dojo where they would learn the basics together step by step.

We rather picked certain points and concentrated on those.

We also asked for volunteers to practice with us and he told me how to move as we practiced.

He was a really smart person, his training was unique and much more detailed than the conventional training,

including how to use our body, and it was good, it really helped.

It really helped for the competitions such as Sanda.

I think it's good to participate in competitions while you are young.

You might win or lose but it'll be good experience anyway.

Then, there is also a koryu teacher from whom I learned a lot in terms of skills

and regarding the establishment of Aunkai.

He had mastered taijutsu and kenjutsu from his school but now that I think of it,

he didn't have a training manual per se like basic training, kata, kumiuchi, and then taijin.

But he taught me how the human body worked technically, psychologically, and biologically, and about posture,

how I should stand, things like that.

And he told me to take that home and to practice it.

It was like that for 10 months to a year.

It was indeed a short time,

but it constitutes the essence of what we do when I teach since I created the Aunkai.

And when I turned a certain age,

I started asking myself how I would take my power and speed to the next level.

So before I turned 30, I decided to learn from a Sensei known for Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu.

It was very helpful too,

He taught me that it wasn't about external forces

He taught me how to be able to use internal forces rather than something external like muscles.

Those practices are reflected in Aunkai as well.

I also learned how to use my body, more of physical technique, from masters of conventional Aikido, Daito-ryu, or Aiki.

In Japanese, we say "Aun no kokyu",

and some think of it as like the Yin/Yang from Chinese Taichi,

the InYo [陰陽], like in taikyoku [太極]

But originally, "A Un" in Sanskrit means the beginning of an event and the end of it

and that continues forever,

In bujutsu, if there is a beginning, there is also an end and there is this feeling that you have until the end, and the movement continues forever.

Through that, we create phenomena in different ways.

That's how I came to name it Aun.

At shrines and temples also,

there are two bodies like komainu, aun or kongo rikishi or nio statues,

there are different names for them but you see two statues in front of shrines or temples.

So deeply in the Japanese history, there is also a meaning, and I think that's why they have those statues.

Well of course, in the history, there is Japanese culture, and there are religious or philosophical aspects.

Having all those meanings, I think it's a wonderful word. That's why I named it Aunkai.

Even though Aunkai is not limited to a specific school or category,

we try to master those simply things taking into account the nature of a human body like two arms and two feet.

We focus on building our body,

including conditioning it externally all over the body like muscles, bones, and so on.

Once we are done with it, we do internally.

This is the most important thing and it takes a lot of time.

We have continuous tanren or training to develop our internal energy.

They call it "naiko" in Chinese bujutsu and I call it "naido".

This tanren is to deeply recognize those techniques and ideas by structuring your training yourself and working hard on it.

I think tanren is absolutely needed in bujitsu if you want to widen your teihen.

And this kind of…I would say correct way of training

including how you breathe and move,

is to learn to move your body from muscle memory,

to maintain that condition when you are relaxed,

and to recognize the condition of your body when you are facing someone.

At Aunkai, from the beginning,

we have given much importance to this recognition training,

to recognize the condition of your body as well as that of your opponent.

This becomes the core and it helps us develop our body

and adapt to other ryuhas such as martial arts, taijutsu, and jujutsu.

As we turn the body, we have different applications and techniques.

We develop those skills through practice with others.

That is the kind of training we mainly do.

We don't really use existing, conventional katas or forms but instead,

we use the logic and mechanisms

that I learned from my past teachers as the basis of training and further analyze it as we practice.

When doing this, the way we move gradually changes as we step up.

and in fact, the way I move and how I am on the inside are completely different from how they were when I was younger.

This I call human experiment, human experiment using your own body.

I guess it's fun and interesting to see how your body changes.

I think that's one of the unique things about Aunkai.

Most of the people who come to Aunkai have various backgrounds and practiced different ryuhas

and they may have found a limit in their previous ways of tanren or training

and they may also have their challenges and questions as to what to choose

and which parts to learn more deeply.

I reflect on those things when I teach.

Well ultimately it's what humans do.

I guess tradition is very important.

But I guess in the process of learning,

we may go through changes and find or notice new things.

Those kinds of things, I get to verify through teaching using my body and telling people.

That kind of free style or thinking I guess is the most interesting thing about Aunkai,

and I think that kind of thinking is very unique to Aunkai.

Conventionally, they have predetermined paths.

But at Aunkai, there are different kinds of people to begin with,

like foreigners.

As I also teach different things abroad,

I deal with people from different cultures and races, with different ways of thinking.

But when they take each other's hands,

well that way that's body to body,

I think they work hard in keiko or training regardless of language.

In japanese, "keiko" is like training, "renshu",

in English, you say "practice".

It can have different meanings but what I mean by keiko

is closer to what it meant in the bujutsu and budo from the time of the Samurai.

"Shosa" [所作, conduct] or "Saho" [作法, etiquette]

Those developed since the age of Samurai all come from the lifestyle aimed to learn those bodily movements through techniques in everyday life.

It enables you to constantly move your body logically and efficiently

without anything preventing and the body to function that way.

So keiko is something that takes into account those techniques

"Training" is usually interpreted as training your body,

your muscles as you have weight training or something training.

And practice is to repeat, like katageiko, repeat the same thing like kata,

I think that practice means to repeat those things.

I guess that training your body is the same across sports, budo, and bujutsu,

but actually I think the most important thing is the way you think,

the way you process what happens around you and a huge amount of information.

What I mean is that we have to think actively and comprehensively

about our nervous system and how our body works psychologically and biologically.

The reason is that as we do training continuously and repeatedly,

sometimes we end up doing it mindlessly without knowing what is important and what is needed.

So in training, in the process of intensely training your body,

there is a need to learn to slow down and relax your mind and body.

Normally, people may think of training as intense training where you challenge your limit like this

but it's not only that,

you also need to take your time to nurture your imagination through slow, quiet training.

This Aunkai way, well my way of thinking is very unique.

And in reality, in a fight, because things keep changing, you have to be able to process information extremely fast.

Of course, to think fast is very important in that kind of situation,

but in training and because it's training,

I think you also need to purposely slow down and to recognize the technique of creating a relation between you and your opponent.

And I think that is also the fundamental technique that we have developed in bujitsu

to avoid a fight when you face your opponent like hyoushi, ma, and timing and all that.

That technique is like something that one learns and obtains as like another sense through hard work and time.

And when your body and your mind match, you will be able to control and use your body as you wish.

This is a very unique method of keiko at Aunkai.
