2009-10-08T17:19:00.000-07:00

With a final score of Dutchess Day School 2, Trinity Pawling 2, I have to admit that this was one of the best games that I have ever seen a DDS Varsity team play. From the start, it was clear that the players were set on erasing the uncomfortable memory of the previous afternoon's fiasco at Rumsey. With Alex Q in goal, the defense played with a new found confidence. Ellie was simply majestic as sweeper, dealing with everything that came her way. Isabel, in front of her, hustled and bustled, winning balls all over the field. Our full backs, Sawyer, Carter and Hannah closed quickly in on players and covered the center superbly. In midfield, we reigned supreme! Eddie was on fire out on the right, Jake was calmly and competently running the show and Roan was free to send balls sailing in to the box with that sweet left foot of his! Maddy, when she emerged from her defensive role at left back, ran and ran to keep up some serious pressure on the TP midfield. Up front, we were cooking. Andrew created many chances for himself throughout the game, darting and weaving through the jungle of tall, strong and athletic TP defenders. It was only fitting that he capped a great display with a superbly headed goal that rocketed in to the net from a Roan corner! Chloe and Neil played their part too, forever chipping away at the TP defense and fighting to get balls in to the opposition box. There are two players I have yet to mention, Kai and Morgan, who up to this game had been sharing goalkeeping duties. Morgan played well up front, showing a great deal of calm in some tricky situations. However, it was Kai who exploded in to action in the second half causing the TP defense to struggle severely under the pressure. Although still developing his fragile soccer skills, Kai hustled the TP defense relentlessly and was clearly instrumental in gaining a penalty which Roan cooly dispatched for our first equalizing goal.
Overall, the display by this team was tremendous. They closed down players quickly and marked their opponents fastidiously. I could not have asked for a greater effort. Alex was in a class of his own in goal and was the platform for all the great things happening on the field of play. The opposition coach was generous in his praise, as he was one of the first to realize that his side had somehow managed to salvage a draw against in his own words "a very good team"!

2009-05-26T11:31:00.000-07:00

After spending a day working with the Millbrook School girls’ J.V. lacrosse team and catching up with a few former DDS players, the DDS girls’ lacrosse team traveled to IMS to play a young JV team. The experience with Millbrook School proved to be beneficial, as DDS outscored IMS the first half 13-3. In the second half, the team’s younger players got to carry the team offensively, and they rose to the occasion, scoring four of the five second half goals for DDS. Once again, the lacrosse girls worked as a cohesive team, as evidenced by the number of players who scored goals: Isabel Stack, Hanna Carlin, Claudia Lamprecht, Elizabeth Quartararo, Sophie Perekslis, Catarina Moran, and Anna Meyers. The defense, led by Alexa Colangelo, and goalie, Ellery Smith, played their part by holding IMS to four meager goals. The final score was 16-4.
The next stop for the girls’ lacrosse team was Mizzentop, who got stronger each time we played them. This final game with them was a hard-fought competition, with many battles for the ball, and some very resounding checking. Throughout the contest DDS players kept their cool, and continued to play their own style game of passing and supporting each other. As a result, their walked away with a 9-2 win. Kudos to Ellery Smith, who stayed strong in goal, with four saves, despite nursing an injury, and not feeling well.
The girls’ played their final game of the season at home, versus IMS. Although they had won their previous game by a large margin, the team realized the IMS is never a team to take lightly. If they had any doubt of this, it was dispelled when IMS scored three quick unanswered goals in the first two minutes of the game. Not to be deterred, DDS came back shooting. Once again, five different players contributed goals to the cause—Elizabeth Quartararo, Hanna Carlin, Isabel Stack, Aleksa Lambert, and Sophie Perekslis. Alexa Colangelo was ferocious on defense, forcing many turnovers. Claudia Lamprecht and Catarina Moran recovered many loose balls to begin the team’s scoring drives. Ellery Smith also recovered quickly after IMS’s first three goals, to rack up six saves in goal. The final score was DDS- 18, IMS- 8. A special thanks too, to Will Stack, Ben Meyers, and Stillman Smith for being gracious DDS hosts and refilling water bottles for IMS during the game.
This season has really proven what a small group of dedicated individuals can do when they learn how to play as a cohesive unit, especially when they also have the drive to excel. This is what took the DDS girls’ lacrosse team from a “no win” season last year, to an undefeated season this year. Thank you girls for making it a memorable, and thoroughly enjoyable experience. A special thanks as well, to our team captains, Hanna Carlin and Elizabeth Quartararo, for stepping up and taking their leadership role seriously.
I would also like to thank all the parents who provided snacks (and Mr. Pink for arranging that), those who came out and supported the team, and all who committed their time to make this team happen. Finally, a huge thank you to Mrs. Ackers, for all your help and input. Without it, the season would not have been as wonderful. Congratulations DDS Girls’ Lacrosse…..GO TIGERS!!

Tennis v Kildonan on Wed May 13th, 2009

2009-05-17T06:24:00.000-07:00

On a bright WEdnesday afternoon, the school tennis team prepared to take on a small team from Kildonan. With only 5 Kildonan players, the match consisted od 6 singles games and 2 doubles games. We are particularly strong at singles and soon Sean, Jake and Charlotte had won their matches dropping only one or two games at most. sasha and Danielle were both tested in their games but both did exceptionally well to emerge winners from which turned out to be very close encounters indeed. Abby then bravely fought against a much stronger opponent and did very well to get a game from her. In doubles, our concentration levels were not great. Paige and Maddie are both very good players but neither on this occasion played to the best of their ability. Jack and TJ were simply overwhelmed by the quality of their opponents. DDS won the match 5 games to 3.....Our next game is against Washington Montessori School on Monday May 18th at the Millbrook Golf & Tennis Club... 3;30 start!

DDS Tennis Defeats Kildonan 4-2

2009-04-29T18:41:00.000-07:00

Wednesday, April 29 twelve of the DDS players went to Kildonan to challenge them in tennis. Due to the small number of Kildonan players and available courts, the team was shuffled to make doubles teams out of many of the singles players. The result was success. Jake and Sasha beat won their set 9-7, Charlotte and Danielle won 8-6, Maddie and Paige won 8-2 and Sean played a singles match winning 8-2. The rest of the team also played well and enjoyed a sunny afternoon of tennis. Great job!

Boys Lacrosse v Berkshire Country Day on Wednesday April 29th

2009-04-29T15:57:00.000-07:00

Today should have been a day to practice passing and to get the younger players on the scoresheet. We won 13-0 but our teamwork was not in evidence with nearly all of the goals being scored by individuals weaving through younger and smaller opponents. Chris scored 5 goals with Jackson and Pietro getting the bulk of the others. It was good to see Ben on the scoresheet though. The real highlight of the game were the efforts of Nick and Hugo to find their way to goal.They were unsuccessful this time but I am sure they will be finding the net in future games. Roan and Eddie played well and Neil and Carter hustled tirelessly. Hopefully, Berkshire will treat us to their older more experienced team in May. If they do, we had better start playing more as a team or we could face a similar scoreline against us next time!!

Boys Lacrosse v Mizzentop on Monday April 27th

2009-04-29T15:50:00.000-07:00

Until the last quarter of the game the scoring had been quite even with DDS matching a strong Mizzentop team goal for goal. It was 6-6 at the end of the 3rd quarter.The goals had come from Eddie, Chris, Jackson and Pietro but they were not enough to prevent 3 more going in for Mizzentop to leave us a 9-6 result. Still the performance was a much improved one, despite the very hot temperatures!

Girls’ Lacrosse vs. Mizzentop April 27, 2009

2009-04-28T09:28:00.000-07:00

The DDS girls’ lacrosse team survived an early scare when Mizzentop scored four quick goals at the beginning of the game. Being Tigers, DDS came roaring back with four goals of their own. From this point on, the lacrosse team regrouped and took control of the game, winning 13-8. The scoring effort was shared by four DDS players—Isabel Stack, Hanna Carlin, Elizabeth Quartararo, and Hadley Stack. Ellery Smith took control of the net from our previous goalie, Denison Smythe, who is recovering from an appendectomy. Ellery had four saves, and several deflections, to help shut down the Mizzentop offense. Alexa Colangelo and Aleksa Lambert were fierce on defense and recovered many loose balls to help transition the team into scoring position. Once again, the team played well as a cohesive unit and were successful as a result. DDS will play their next game at IMS on Friday. They welcome all DDS fans to come and cheer them on!

Boys Lacrosse Reports for Mizzentop and Kildonan games

2009-04-26T15:48:00.000-07:00

In the game against Mizzentop, we were outplayed by 12 goals to 6. Goals from Jackson and Pietro kept DDS competitive throughout the game.
Our second game against Kildonan was a better result for us and it was good old fashioned teamwork that got the job done with multiple goals from Jackson, Pietro and Christian. In addition, John and Nick scored their first goals of the season.
Our next game is a return game against Mizzentop on Monday April 27th.

Girls Lacrosse v Mizzentop played on Wednesday April 15th

2009-04-24T10:24:00.000-07:00

The DDS Girls’ Lacrosse team started their season with an emphatic 13-2 win over Mizzentop . The scoring was truly a team effort, with five players hitting the mark. Hanna Carlin, Elizabeth Quartararo, Isabel Stack, Sophie Perekslis, and Hadley Stack. On the other end of the field, the DDS defense allowed Mizzentop very few scoring opportunities. DDS’s goalie, Denison Smythe, had five solid saves of shots on goal, with several deflections as well. Offensive turnovers to our defense were abundant. The win was a well-balanced team effort, and anticipation is building for promising things to come. Please come out and support the team if you have the chance. Our next home game is on Monday, April 27th versus Mizzentop.

Tennis Match v Rumsey on Wednesday April 15th, 2009

2009-04-18T16:14:00.000-07:00

With 6 singles and 3 doubles matches to play against Rumsey, the DDS tennis team fought a bravely but lost 6 - 3. On the singles games we came out evens. Sean and Jake playing at #1 and #2 both won their games quite convincingly 6-2 and 6-4 respectively. Danielle and Charlotte played well but were up against some strong opposition both losing their matches 6-1. Sasha played a very steady game and came out on top 6-2. Finally, Sebastian with a great start 2-2 let the nerves get to him and conceded the next 4 games much too easily!
Although we lost all 3 doubles matches, it was encouraging to see our 3 pairs get games. Both pairings of Zoe and Heather and TJ and Jack played some great tennis at times but were unable to overcome their more experienced opposition. Paige and Maddie came very close, narrowly losing by 7 games to 5.
Overall a brave attempt against very seasoned opposition!

Tennis v Maplebrook played on Wednesday April 8th, 2009

2009-04-08T16:43:00.000-07:00

Although we only won one of our games out of 6 matches, it would be fair to say that despite the cold conditions, everyone was able to get an important early season game under their belt. There was indeed some encouraging play from a number of our players. Charlotte and Danielle were up against a very talented pair of older boys, but as a pair they played very well together and look good for some future wins in the the season. Paige and Maddie were certainly affected by the cold conditions but only narrowly lost a thrilling match by 6 games to 5. TJ and Zoe looked set for a win early in their game but were unable to put away their opposition. Heather and Abby were slow to get going in the cold weather but eventually got into their stride only to find themselves too far behind to get back into the game. Chelsea and Bernadette showed that they have improved since last year. however, they played some good opposition and were unable to make a strong impact on the result. Chelsea's serving was excellent though. Finally, Jack and Gavin demonstrated some good solid tennis strokes and ran out comfortable winners in our final match. Well done DDS tennis team for a great set of matches! Our next game is away @ Rumsey on Wednesday April 15th.

JV Volleyball report for game v Rumsey on Thursday Feb 26th, 2009

2009-02-26T17:52:00.000-08:00

The JV Volleyball team wrapped up their season Thursday, 2/26/09 with a well-fought match against Rumsey. After a slow start with the first game, the players came back strong getting all but one serve over the net in the second game. Unfortunately their defense slipped a little trying to return Rumsey's powerful serves.
The third game was the charm and the players summoned both their strong offense and defense outscoring Rumsey 25 to 18. Both Hailey Conger and Hannah Hill had excellent serving streaks.
The final game found the teams neck to neck as the scores climbed. The players showed very good movement on the court and communication with teammates. Rumsey ended up getting to 25 first in a close loss of 23 to 25.
It has been a successful season and the students have shown nice improvement with their skills. They will be helping at the faculty/parent vs. varsity game on Monday and celebrating the season with a pizza party following at Four Brothers

Varsity Volleyball Report

The varsity volleyball team continued their winning ways in the second half of the season. DDS played Rumsey twice on Rumsey’s home turf, and bested them in both matches.
In the first match, the team’s serving continued to be a challenge for their opponent to return. Scoring was a team effort, with several players contributing points. Aleksa Lambert had 14 points for the match, Maddie Olson had 4 points, Eddie Castillo had 16 points, and Alexa Colangelo had 7 points. Rumsey struggled to return the volleys that DDS consistently sent their way. The final result was 25-13, 25-12, and 25-12, match to Dutchess Day.
In the final match with Rumsey, Dutchess Day found a much improved Rumsey team. Rumsey was returning DDS serves and trying constantly to set up a spike on its possessions. DDS answered with their own heightened efforts to do the same, and in the end, the varsity’s serving still overpowered the improved Rumsey team. Eddie Castillo contributed 17 points to the match, as did Aleksa Lambert, and Paige Reifler contributed 3 points. Delaney Bailey, Kayleigh Jones, and Alexa Colangelo played well on defense, while Eddie Castillo played strong offense at the net. The final score was 25-14, 25-18, and 25-16, match to DDS.
In their final match of the season, the DDS varsity volleyball players traveled to Westover to challenge a high school team. Despite the height advantage that Westover had, the Dutchess players continued to hustle around the court and make great plays during volleys. Many of the players contributed to the scores with their serving. Alexa Colangelo, A DDS volleyball captain, scored 15 points with her serve, while the other DDS captain, Paige Reifler, contributed 10 points. Kayleigh Jones, an eighth grader playing in her last volleyball game for DDS, scored 13 points. Aleksa Lambert helped the effort with 6 points and Hannah Hill added four more points. The entire team played well, with kudos to Delaney Bailey, Maddie Olson, and Alexa Colangelo on defense, and to Eddie Castillo, Paige Reifler, and Kayleigh Jones on offense. The final score was 25-19, 25-15, 21-25, and 25-22, with Dutchess winning the match.
The varsity volleyball team had an outstanding season this year, completing their schedule undefeated with a 7-0 record. The team played as a cohesive unit, with all players contributing to each match. Congratulations to Alexa Colangelo, Kayleigh Jones, Paige Reifler, Eddie Castillo, Delaney Bailey, Aleksa Lambert, Maddie Olson, and Hannah Hill for their well-earned success. Thank you also to all the parents and friends, who supported the team in so many ways this year. It was a blast!

Varsity Basketball v Trinity Pawling played on Monday Feb 23rd, 2009

2009-02-24T06:24:00.000-08:00

Our lack of practice has showed tonight once again. Our past 2 games has showed our rustiness out on the court. Trinity beat us by 8 points and it was our second low scoring game of the season. Last game we had last week was our first low scoring game. We should have beaten Trinity Pawling. They are not better than us but sometimes that just happens.
On a happier note John Hill scored his career high tonight with 4 points....way to go!!!! Sean added 4 points, seb added 2, T.J added 2 points going 2 for 2 from the free throw line, Danielle added 4, and Jackson added 2 points as well. we have one more home game on thursday and that will be the last game of the season....It has been a great season!

JV Volleyball game v Rumsey - Monday Feb 9th, 2009

2009-02-12T17:49:00.000-08:00

Although the JV volleyball team lost their match against Rumsey on Monday, 2/9/09, they played some of thier best games of the season. The serving improved vastly as every player was able to get their serve over the net as they approached the serving spot. Defense was difficult as we played against the best of Rumsey's Varsity players, but the team worked together to cover the floor and help eachother return the serves. We held our own on the first game barely losing 23 to 25. The final game was 21 to 25. We slipped a bit in the middle and lost 12 to 25. We meet them again next wednesday, 2/18 at our home court. We hope you can come cheer us on!

Varsity Basketball -Dutchess Day School Vs. Washington Montessori

Monday February 2, 2009
Our over all record is now 3 wins and 3 losses....2 coming from Washington Montessori.

50-24
The only improvement facing the bigger and better team was that this time we only lost by 26 point and it was at their home facility. Although we lost the game we played with a lot of heart and hustled out there. Danielle was really aggressive against the bigger better team......she had a good game getting rebounds and scored 4 points. Sean G. paced DDS with 10 points which included one 3 pointer. Matt added 4 points, John added 3 points, Roan added 2 points, and TJ added a point to help DDS. Since John and TJ scored this game it is now official that every player has scored this season. YEAH!

Varsity Volleyball Reports

2009-02-04T14:33:00.000-08:00

The DDS varsity volleyball team has gotten a good jump on the season with three resounding wins over Rumsey. In the first match of the season, serving was a critical part of the team’s success. Eddie Castillo led the attack with 28 service points, in the course of three games. Hannah Hill finished the final game of the match with five serves in a row. The final tally was 25-10, 25-18, 25-16. In the second match, serving was once again the deciding factor, though Rumsey was tougher this time on defense. Eddie Castillo again served well, with 11 points in two games. He was joined this time by Delaney Bailey, with 7 points, and Alexa Colangelo, with 8 points. The scoring was a real team effort. The end result was 25-14, and 25-18, another Dutchess win. In their third head to head with Rumsey, the teams were more seasoned, and there were some good volleys in each game. DDS had a very balanced scoring attack, with several servers contributing to the score. In the three games played, Paige Reifler had eighteen points, Kayleigh Jones had 14 points, Eddie Castillo had 13 points, and Alexa Colangelo had 12 points. The final scores were 25-10, 25-14, and 25-6, match to DDS. To this point, Dutchess Day is enjoying an undefeated season. Please come out and cheer them on, if you get the chance. It’s nice to play in front of a home crowd.

Short Report

Once more the intrepid DDS Squash team ventured out in to the tough world of prep school squash. Although the result was a clear one in favor of Trinity Pawling School, our fast improving team played some excellent squash, losing many games by very narrow margins. For our new 5th graders, it was mainly a learning experience up against much older and larger opposition. However, I will guarantee in the next few years their time will come! David also put up a decent fight but was always up against it. Our first seven players, however, performed very well indeed. Izzy, Denny and Hadley won their games in fine style, but if you look at the results, the others were so close in a number of games. Alex, Hanna, Lizzy and Andrew had it in them to beat their opponents and were very disappointed to narrowly lose out! All in all, this was a great match and one that we hope to repeat before the end of the season!

Varsity Basketball v Kildonan School played on Monday January 12th, 2008

2009-01-13T07:49:00.000-08:00

The two teams were evenly matched but we finally loosened up, moved the ball around nicely and were more patient executing baskets. Our 2-3 defense was once again great. I am pleased with how the team played, again down two players from our roster. Unfortunantly we will be missing Kai Stroud for the rest of the season due to a broken wrist accident during ski Friday.
We are currently on a two game winning streak and we are now getting comfortable playing with each other and it shows. The first game we scored 20 as a team, the second game we scored 22 as a team.....this game we had 20 in the first half. Yes, we are improving and I am happy and proud of the team's play. Danielle Stamer and Sean Gorwana contributed 11 points each, which was the most Danielle has ever scored!.... she told me after the game. Roan Gideon added 5 points, Jackson Ryan added 4 points, Christian Marzullo, Ben Poholchuk, TJ Sayah, Sebastian Barry all had 2 points. Jon Hill was the only player that did not score but he made some great hustle plays down the strech to help his team. GREAT JOB TEAM!!!!

Varsity Basketball game v Melrose on Thursday Jan 8th, 2008

2009-01-13T07:44:00.000-08:00

I did not know what to expect after the long vacation. With the students not practicing and after a long break, forgetting plays would make it difficult to pull out a win. But we did it! DDS won the game but we could of easily had more points than just 22. We were leading the whole game and late 4th quarter was when melrose started to press us defensively and catch up....a little too close for comfort! We were able to hold them off to get our first win in this second game of the season. All of the players hustled out there and played a great game. We are learning as a team to play with one another as each player contributes differently. Kai Stroud was again our high scorer with 10 points, Sean Gorwana added 8 points, Christian Marsullo ran the point guard position very well and added 4 points, Danielle Stamer was a rebounding force with 4 rebounds and added 2 points, Roan Gideon also added 2 points respectively. T.J, Jon Hill, Jackson Ryan and Ben Poholchuk, although they did not score hustled and contributed for our team defensively. The next 2 games we play we will face the same challenges of not yet having a practice to go over plays that we have forgotten...WISH US LUCK......

Varsity Basketball v Washington Montessori played on Wednesday December 17th, 2008

2008-12-19T11:17:00.000-08:00

Game # 1 DDS vs. Washington Montessori

Dutchess Day Varsity Basketball loses their home opener 58-20

After a strong first quarter against WMS we were pretty even in score. Dutchess Day scored 10 points in the first quarter while only totaling 10 points the rest of the game. The second quarter WMS pulled away big with a 36 point lead. Washington Montessori's leading scorer R. Mennin had 20 points at the half and 30 in the game. The second half we changed defensive strategies and brought the game back to only 20 points. WMS just out hustled us and wanted to win. DDS felt that they were playing well in the beginning of the game but got discouraged by the point deficit. Kai was Dutchess Day's leading scorer with 8 points followed by Sean G. with 6 points which was made by two 3 point shots. Christian, Danielle and Roan all contributed 2 points each respectively. Danielle had a hard task by covering R. Mennin who was at least 4 inches taller than her.....she did a great job and was not intimidated at all. TJ, Sebastian, Jackson, John and Benjamin who also played to the best of their ability all got in the game to get some playing experience. Our next game will be after Christmas break and we plan as a team to improve game by game.

Squash Report v Westover on Wednesday December 17th, 2008

2008-12-19T09:51:00.000-08:00

With sickness depleting our 14 strong squad, only 10 players made the one and a half hour journey to Westover in Connecticut. The journey was well worth it. Playing on some superb courts, we fought valiantly against Westover 3rd's. Our 5th grade beginners, Ellery, Henry,and Jack together with Hugo, were the first games on. Considering their lack of experience and young age compared with their opponents, they all played very well indeed. Hugo and Jack lost in 3 straight games but both got good points on the board against their opponents. Henry playing with much more confidence this time, narrowly lost the first two games, then won the third and finally lost the last game. It will not be long, however,until Henry gets his first victory. Ellery came even closer to winning her match, only losing out in a close five setter to a very strong opponent. With a little more practice on basic skills and a greater understanding of basic tactics, our younger players will improve tremendously! Apart from Lizzie,playing at #2 against arguably their best player, the rest of our team won their matches. Lizzie went down 3 games to 1, but played very well considering that, unlike the other team members, this was her first competitive game of the season. Alex at #5 is oozing confidence at the moment having discovered another racket sport that he is comfortable with. He dispatched his opponent with very little fuss in three short games. Andrew finally played to his potential, and despite dropping the third set, came through strongly. Denny and Hadley played very confidently this time and easily won their matches in three straight sets. This left Isabel to wrap up the tie, barely allowing her unfortunate opponent a point. We had time to play a few best of three games for our fifth grade beginners and Hugo and then make the long journey home. Thanks again to Sarah Stack for coming along to help coach and advise our players.

Results and report on squash game v Trinity Pawling played on Wednesday December 10th, 2008

2008-12-14T04:09:00.001-08:00

With some of our squad unable to play, we took 11 enthusiastic players to the beautiful squash complex at Trinity Pawling School to play against their 3rds. (these are boys 9th grade and up who have not gained a place in the JV or Varsity teams). Some were as new to squash as some of our own players. Overall, the matches were played in excellent spirit and although we lost the majority of them, the players came away with a great sense of experience. Our 5th graders, Claudia, Henry, Ellery and Jack, were playing their first competitive match ever and all managed to secure points against their formidable opposition. Hugo and Andrew also found the going tough but tried hard to get points on the board. Alex too was up against strong opposition but after losing his first game by a narrow margin, he discovered the power of the drop shot and from then on never looked back, securing the next three games in fine fashion. Hanna, playing at # 4, came very close to winning her first game but then found the going harder as her opponent started to find a good length and finished strongly. Hanna, however, should be encouraged by the way she played. Denny, at # 3 played very well indeed and with her serve into the backhand corner doing alot of damage, she pushed her opponent to a 5 set match, only to lose the last game 10-12. With Lizzie out sick, Hadley had to step up to # 2. Her opponent was too strong for her, but she particularly played well in the 3rd game, narrowly losing it 11-13. Her serve was particularly useful in this game and she too should learn from this experience and should be encouraged by her performance. Finally, Isabel, playing at # 1, demonstrated why she is such a difficult player to beat. She polished off her opponent in three games, combining determination with a mix of accurate and powerful hitting. Overall, I was extremely pleased with how the DDS Squash team rose to the challenge. Well done every single player.
