Police Reveal Gruesome Beheading Detail in Oklahoma Food Distribution Plant Murder
Sep. 26, 2014 11:36am Billy Hallowell

Gruesome new details have been revealed regarding a woman murdered in Moore, Oklahoma, Thursday. According to local outlets, she was beheaded by a man who was reportedly in the process of converting to Islam.

The victim, identified as Colleen Hufford, 54, died at the scene at Vaughan Foods, a food distribution company, after the violent attack unfolded around 4:05 p.m. at the hands of a male former employee.

Alton Alexander Nolen, who was fired from the business before allegedly attacking Hufford and another coworker, is the primary suspect in the case. He was shot during the attack by an off-duty officer and remains hospitalized, but is expected to survive. http://www.koco.com/news/medical-exa...ttack/28262688

The horrific incident unfolded after Nolen, 30, was terminated at a different location, then reportedly drove to the front of the Vaughan Foods building, hit a vehicle and walked inside.

It was then that he began stabbing Hufford and “severed the victim’s head,” according to a Moore Police Department press release and KFOR-TV. http://www.cityofmoore.com/sites/def...e-09-26-14.pdf http://kfor.com/2014/09/25/reports-p...grocery-store/

Nolen also reportedly attacked Traci Johnson, 43, another worker at the plant, before being shot by Mark Vaughn, the chief operating officer of the company and a reserve Oklahoma County Deputy.

Johnson is currently in stable condition; authorities believe the suspect would have killed the second victim had he not been stopped.

Police do not currently believe that Hufford and Johnson were targeted, but claim that they were in Nolen’s way after he entered the building.



Coworkers claim that Nolen had recently converted to Islam and that he had been attempting to convert them as well, according to police.

“After conducting interviews with coworkers of Nolen information was obtained that he recently … started trying to convert some of his coworkers to the Muslim religion,” Moore Police Department officer Jeremy Lewis said at a press conference Friday.

The officer added that the manner of death and initial statements from coworkers have led the FBI to get involved in helping explore Nolen’s background.

State records indicate that Nolen was convicted of felony drug offenses, escape from prison and assault and battery on a police officer. Additionally, he reportedly served time in prison, according to Fox News. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/09/26...er-police-say/

Vaughn Foods released the following statement following the incident:

“On behalf of everyone at Vaughan Foods, we are shocked and deeply saddened by the events of today. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the team member we lost and all those affected. Our focus is on the safety and well-being of our employees. We will provide counseling and support for our team members and support each other through this difficult time. We are working with authorities on this active investigation and ask that you direct your questions to local law enforcement.”

Police have released transcripts of 911 calls placed to authorities during the attack — conversations that provide a lens into the chaos that was unfolding inside the establishment, as noted by KFOR-TV.

“Yeah, we can hear a lot of screaming. We’re actually in a different office but someone just came in here yelling,” a caller said before adding, “He has stabbed someone.”

Is it just me - but I think if this had been a conservative, fundamentalist 'christian' ... the MSM would be ALL over this ...

...

How many lives were saved by a civilian legally carrying a firearm? I guarn-DAMN-tee ya this aint the last convert to kill in this manner this year. You better consider taking your kids out of public screwls, avoiding public transportation, and legally obtaining a carry concealed permit. Be safe.

...

Media is cleansing the story. AP and CNN report but omit any reference to Islam, and any mention that the off duty cop was the CEO of the company and CCL’s.
So, gone are the key points:
1) Radical Islam, not Workplace Violence.
2) Good guy with gun stops violence.
In fact, the casual read would imply that someone call 911 and the police came in seconds to stop the violence.
...

“In the process of converting”

So is beheading now a part of the membership dues?
...

Man, this story is going to be MANHANDLED. It doesn’t fit the administration’s narrative on guns, moderate Islam, or homegrown terrorism.

I hope the deceit with which this will be presented becomes a story in and of itself.

..

From Obummer’s and Holder’s position: “The fact that the guy had anything to do with Islam is irrelevant. The Ford Hood guy and ISIS are not Islam and neither is this low life scumbag murderer. Also, what was that guy doing with a gun. Guns don’t stop violence, they create it and need to be outlawed. This works well in Chicago and Detroit.”
Welcome to the Really New World Order. This woman would be alive today if the US were allowed to be tougher on that very protected species the serious Islamic adherent. If the FBI can’t and Holder and Obummer won’t say “Islamic terrorist” – that is the root of the problem.

..

Note: Islam is recruiting heavily among the prison population, creating more and more of these monsters out of people who aren’t exactly good folks to begin with.

Suspect was recently fired, Oklahoma police say
Woman beheaded in work dispute
By Evan Perez, Pamela Brown and Shelby Lin Erdman, CNN
updated 5:19 PM EDT, Fri September 26, 2014

(CNN) -- A man suspected of beheading a woman and stabbing another worker at an Oklahoma food plant was fired right before the attack, police said Friday. Alton Alexander Nolen, 30, was terminated from his job at Vaughan Foods processing plant just before the rampage Thursday afternoon in Moore, Oklahoma, just outside Oklahoma City, said Sgt. Jeremy Lewis of the Moore Police Department.

After "he was terminated, he drove to the front of the business, running into a vehicle, exited his vehicle, entered the business, where he encountered the first victim, Colleen Hufford, 54, and began assaulting her with a knife. He did kill Colleen and he did sever her head."

A second woman, identified as 43-year-old Traci Johnson, survived the attack, thanks to the intervention of another co-worker -- the company's chief operating officer Mark Vaughan, an Oklahoma County reserve deputy -- who shot and wounded Nolen.

Johnson was hospitalized in stable condition with "numerous knife wounds," according to police.

Nolen was shot twice and was also hospitalized in stable condition.

"This off-duty deputy definitely saved Traci's life," Lewis said. "This was not going to stop if he didn't stop it. He's obviously a hero in this situation. It's very tragic that someone did lose their life, but it could have gotten a lot worse. This guy was definitely not going to stop. He didn't stop until he was shot."

Moore police have asked the FBI to help investigate the man's background. "Due to the manner of death and the statement of co-workers and other initial information that investigators have gathered, we requested the assistance of the FBI in conducting a background investigation into Nolen."

Earlier Friday, U.S. law enforcement officials said there were no indication the attack was linked to terrorism.

"We are shocked and deeply saddened by the events," Vaughan Foods spokeswoman Danielle Katcher said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the team member we lost and all those affected, " Katcher added.

The attack appeared to be random. Lewis said the two victims were simply in Nolen's way when he entered the building. "He wasn't targeting anyone, wasn't going specifically after them. It appears they were just in his way as he came in."

Authorities were still interviewing witnesses Friday. Police said they did not yet have information on Nolen's background. They also have not yet said what charges Nolen might be facing.

The assailant then tried to kill another woman after a workplace dispute

A man in Moore, Oklahoma, decapitated a woman during a workplace dispute before trying to kill another woman, authorities said Friday.

The incident took place at a Vaughn Foods Inc. distribution center in a town near Oklahoma City, The Daily Oklahoman reports.

The suspect, identified as Alton Alexander Nolan, 30, is accused of beheading one woman, who was pronounced dead at the scene, and stabbing another woman.

From the AP: https://news.yahoo.com/police-woman-...144459291.html

Police said Friday a man recently fired from a food processing plant in an Oklahoma City suburb beheaded a woman with a knife and was attacking another worker when he was shot and wounded by the owner of the company.

The 30-year-old man, who has not been charged, stabbed Colleen Hufford, 54, severing her head in Thursday’s attack at Vaughan Foods, Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said.

Lewis said the man then stabbed Traci Johnson, 43, a number of times before being shot by Mark Vaughan, a reserve sheriff’s deputy and the company’s chief operating officer.

“This was not going to stop if he didn’t stop it. It could have gotten a lot worse,” Lewis said.

"Islam Will Dominate the World. The Statue of Liberty Will Go Up in Flames" the Oklahoma beheader wrote on his Facebook page.

But NBC News is calling this "workplace violence"
By Brian Hayes on September 27, 2014


Above: Oklahoma Muslim beheader Alton Nolen (aka Jah’Keem Yisrael) praying in an L.A. mosque, in a photo he posted on his Facebook page

Oklahoma Muslim beheading suspect Alton Alexander Nolen celebrated terrorism and attacked America, Israel and non-Muslims on his Facebook page, before committing the first jihadist beheading on American soil.




Nolen was fired from Vaughn Foods, in Moore, OK, for aggressive and repeated arguments with co-workers, trying to convert them to Islam. He returned to work this morning, stabbed and beheaded Colleen Hufford, 54, while “shouting Islamic phrases.” He was in the processes of trying to murder another female co-worker, when he was shot by a company executive.

Despite clear evidence that this was an obvious act of Muslim terror – the mainstream media continues to peddle the “workplace violence” angle – or downplay the attack completely.

Nolen called himself “Jah’Keem Yisrael” on his Facebook page, where he uploaded photos of himself reading the Koran and wearing Muslim religious clothing. His Facebook “cover” photo appears to be of several Taliban fighters, according to a Google reverse image search, according to Patrick Howley of TheDC. http://dailycaller.com/2014/09/26/sh...s-on-facebook/


He also posted images of Osama bin Laden and wrote in a caption on a photograph of the 9/11 attacks “A Future Prophecy Revelation 18:8

She (The statue Of Liberty) is going into flames. She and anybody who’s with her.” He also referenced U.S. intervention in Iraq in a July 24 post, writing, “AMERICA SO CALL HELPS IRAQ (WHICH NOT)- WELL WHY CANT U HELP THE GAZA CITIZENS AGAINST ISRAEL…AMERICA AND ISRAEL ARE WICKED. WAKE UP MUSLIMS!!!”

“I JST WANT TO SAY AS AN MUSLIM WE DNT CELEBRATE AMERIKAS HOLIDAYS,” he wrote in a caption accompanying a photograph of an Islamist fighter.

“Ima Tell You Off Top Im Not Your Friend. My Friends Are At The Mosque All Around The World,” he wrote in a description of himself.

“You know what gets me about Christians is that they blaspheme saying that Jesus (pbus Ameen) is God. If Jesus (pbuh Ameen) was God why when you claim he was on a cross he quoted Quote’ Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing? With this said he can’t be the Savior. All Praise To Allah,” he wrote in another caption.

Above: Nolen posted this image on Facebook, titled “Reading Prophet Muhammads Night Journey! PBUH AMEEN”

On Thursday, Nolen had reportedly been arguing with the two females he later attacked about how Muslims have the right to “stone women” for violating Islam. He was fired that afternoon.

Nolen frequently mocks Christians and denounced Jesus and the Pope.

“Christians say this is God. La ilaha il Allah!!!!!!,” he wrote next to an image of Jesus.

He also wrote “SHARIA LAW IS COMING!!!!” alongside a picture of Pope Benedict XVI.

He posted a photograph in March of a protester holding a sign saying, “Islam Will Dominate the World. Freedom Can Go To Hell.”

But to media outlets like NBCNews, this is just “workplace violence”. Nothing to see here, infidels, move along.

As of 9:00pm EST tonight here was the front page of NBCNews.com:



Nearly twelve hours after the first Islamic beheading of an American on our soil, and it is the very last news story — and of course no mention whatsoever of Islam.

http://toprightnews.com/?p=6090

NOTE the MSM uses "recently fired" ... when it was like moments before ... not months or weeks or even days. They tried saying it was not targeted ... but he had argued with THOSE two women earlier the same day ?? I would bet that if it was a fundamentalist conservative "Christian" ... it would be headline news on every channel

Member of Oklahoma Beheader’s Mosque Blows the Lid Off Its Radical Teachings

By Jason DeWitt on October 2, 2014

Workplace violence.

That is the manta of the Leftist media, the Obama Administration, and the FBI with regard to Oklahoma jihadist beheader Alton Nolen.

To believe that, one must willfully ignore hundreds of posts from Nolen on his Facebook page extolling Islamic terrorism, beheadings, the right to harm women who don’t wear hijabs; as well as witnesses who said he tried to convert co-workers to Islam, and shouted prayers to “Allah” while stabbing and beheading Colleen Hufford.

This was a jihadist act, an act of terror. And where did Nolen learn the vile beliefs he posted on Facebook? We may know a lot more about that after a stunning interview last night.

An attendee of the same Oklahoma mosque that Nolen attended appeared on Fox News’ The Kelly File last night to discuss what was taught inside that “peaceful” place of worship.

Calling himself only “Noor,” and blacked out for his safety, the man explained to host Megyn Kelly that after two years of worshiping in the mosque, he became convinced that Islam actually promotes radical jihad – violence against the “infidel.”



His description of the teachings give new insight into how Nolen became so radicalized that he beheaded Mrs. Hufford on September 25.

Noor explained that the mosque wouldn’t ever tell the public that they support radical Islam, however, behind closed doors they were told that the suicide bombings in Israel, along with other radical acts, were fully supported.

He also said they were taught that even if Osama bin Laden himself were to appear at their door, they should welcome him in because “he’s a fellow Muslim” and they “must protect” other believers from those who don’t practice Islam.

Share this everywhere, especially to those you know who are buying into the Obama/New York Times/MSNBC/CNN mantra of “workplace violence”.

Muslim Oklahoma Beheader Makes Outrageous Demand From His Prison Cell

By Jason DeWitt on October 5, 2014

The Muslim convert who beheaded his former co-worker in Moore, Oklahoma, has been charged by prosecutors with first-degree murder. Alton Nolen now faces the death penalty for the brutal, jihadist murder of 54-year old Colleen Hufford.

Nolen claims he cannot afford an attorney, so he will likely get a taxpayer-funded lawyer by the court.

But that is not good enough for this Islamofascist monster, as Nolen is now demanding that the courts specifically appoint him a Muslim lawyer for the trial. Why? Because he wants an attorney more sympathetic to his cause? Because he is planning an “Islamic” defense, as did Ft. Hood jihadist (or according to Obama, “workplace violence” killer) Nidal Hassan?

Can there be anyone who doubts the jihadist motivation for his heinous crime now?

Nolen’s preposterous request certainly answers his family’s doubts that he even converted to Islam, and the liberal media and FBI who claim his actions were only “workplace violence,” unrelated to his Muslim conversion. That claim was already absurd and is made even more so by this new request, along with his clear support for Al Queda, ISIS and beheadings of infidels, as he posted on his Facebook page.

Islam is so part of this case, that it is utterly absurd to deny it. In addition to his Facebook page, Nolen also reportedly shouted Islamic statements when he murdered his first victim. He beheaded Hufford, imitating his heroes in ISIS. He was reportedly trying to convert his co-workers to Islam before he was fired. And he got fired for asserting that women should be stoned for rejecting Sharia law. But that didn’t stop MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry from denouncing anyone who would even suggest this had anything to do with Islam.

So what will the court do? According to FoxNews, The judge in the case said a public defender would be appointed, but he wasn’t sure if the Public Defender’s office had any Muslim attorneys.

It would seem the law is clear: if you aren’t paying for the lawyer, you can’t select who the state picks for you. But can’t you just see the ACLU and CAIR injecting themselves into the case to demand he get a Muslim attorney — even though the ACLU would say any Christian who demanded the same was violating “separation of church and state.”

Obama Praises the Mosque of the Oklahoma Beheader?
Yes, He Did

October 6, 2014 By TPNN Staff Writer

Colleen Hufford, 54, was simply doing her job at Vaughan Food Distribution when her life was snatched away from her in one of the most horrific ways imaginable. Jah’Keem Yisrael, formerly known as Alton Nolen, who was recently fired from Vaughan after attempting to convert co-workers to the Muslim faith and getting into discussions about stoning women, rushed into the building and began stabbing Hufford. But, her nightmare got even worse.

After stabbing her countless time, he beheaded her. He was on to his next victim when the former CEO of Vaughan Foods, Mark Vaughan, who was also an Oklahoma County reserve deputy, shot him, thereby stopping the attack.

Witnesses reported that as Yisrael was committing his attack, he was shouting Islamic phrases. His Facebook page also details his conversion to Islam and the pride he had in the Islamic State (ISIS).

Yet, despite these events and this evidence supporting that this was a case of jihad in America, Barack Obama has said nothing about Hufford’s beheading. His silence has been eerily deafening as some in government, and some liberal pundits, have declared this to be workplace violence. In fact, on the Saturday after Hufford’s beheading at the hands of a Muslim jihadist, Obama did not even mention the incident. Instead, in his weekly address, he talked about how, at least in his view, America is leading in the world. http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-...-leading-world

His failure to even mention the events in Oklahoma speaks volumes. But, it gets even worse.

Funeral services for Colleen Hufford were held on Friday, October 3, at Southgate Baptist Church. There was no statement sent by Obama. There was no government official at her funeral. There was no reaching out to the Hufford family by the Obamas. http://kfor.com/2014/10/03/funeral-t...kplace-attack/

Yet, curiously, Obama did make a special effort to reach out to one group, and it wasn’t the Hufford family.

On October 4, one day after Colleen Hufford was laid to rest, Barack Obama sent a government official to the Oklahoma mosque attending by Jah’Keem Yisrael to read a statement of gratitude and praise to the group.

KFOR reports that as the Muslims marked the end of the yearly pilgrimage to mecca with communal prayer and celebration called Eid Ul-Adha, Obama stood in solidarity with them with a special message given by a special messenger sent from 1,350 miles away. http://kfor.com/2014/10/04/oklahoma-...use-officials/

Obama’s message to the Muslims at this Oklahoma mosque said,

“Your service is a powerful example of the powerful roots of the Abrahamic faiths and how our communities can come together with shared peace with dignity and a sense of justice.”

While Obama claims this message was sent because of the efforts by Muslims to help rebuild Moore after a devastating tornado ripped through the community in 2013, that was in 2013.

A woman beheaded by a Muslim from this very congregation was buried by her grieving family just one day before this special messenger was sent, and Obama chose to give thanks and praise to this mosque?

When you care nothing about optics and you are on record as saying, “The future should not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam,” perhaps this should come as no surprise.

What Was Just Revealed About The Oklahoma Beheading Victim Is Buried Beneath Ferguson Furor

...where is the equivalent outrage over the new information...
Norvell Rose — December 2, 2014

In the White House, the Congress, the Justice Department, in cities, shopping malls and even schools across the country, the lapping flames of Ferguson-fueled racial tension are being fanned…even as the factual findings of a duly constituted grand jury are being largely ignored.

The furor that has arisen over the Ferguson shooting and its racially charged aftermath continues to build — the agenda-driven narrative crafted around the “hands up, don’t shoot” theme continues to be promoted by many whose actions could easily be seen as exploiting a “crisis” of confidence in the integrity of the American system of justice. http://www.westernjournalism.com/wat...ole-new-level/

But as the Ferguson protests grow in number and stature on the streets and in the media, one might wonder where is the equivalent outrage over the new information just released about the recently beheaded Oklahoma woman and the Muslim man accused of brutally attacking her with a serrated kitchen knife.

Officials in Oklahoma have announced the results of the autopsy performed on the body of Colleen Hufford, the Moore, OK food plant worker who police say was attacked by 30-year-old Alton Nolen, described as a recent Muslim convert.

It turns out, according to autopsy findings, that Hufford put up quite a valiant struggle before she finally was unable to fight off her determined attacker, who ultimately severed his victim’s head.

Via newsok.com: http://newsok.com/autopsy-of-moore-b...rticle/5370520

The autopsy describes multiple defensive injuries to both hands and her right arm and other injuries to Hufford’s cheek, chest and upper arm.

For the record — the victim, Colleen Hufford was white; her accused killer, Alton Nolen, is black. Colleen Hufford was a middle-aged, middle-America grandmother. Alton Nolen is an apparent Islamist whose Facebook page contained references to radical Islam and terrorist acts.

You might recall that Barack Obama — who is now holding White House meetings and issuing presidential statements on the Ferguson situation — has not only been silent on the Oklahoma beheading, but also praised the mosque attended by the accused killer.

And Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder, is touring the country giving speeches on Ferguson and the tensions between law enforcement and communities of color. Meantime, Holder’s Justice Department — along with its media allies — maintains the position that the Oklahoma beheading was “workplace violence” and not an act of domestic terrorism.

As reported on usatoday.com, prosecutors in Oklahoma have charged Alton Nolen with first-degree murder in the case and say they will seek the death penalty.

The Muslim convert was shot by CEO of Vaughn Foods food processing plant

An autopsy shows the Oklahoma grandmother who was beheaded at a food-processing plant apparently tried to fight off her attacker, who had a serrated cooking knife.

Colleen Hufford, 54, was killed in the savage September 25 attack at Vaughan Foods in Moore allegedly carried out by a Muslim convert who had worked at the plant.

The autopsy released Wednesday indicates she died of decapitation resulting from sharp-force trauma to her neck.



Mrs Nolen, 54, is survived by her husband, KC (center), their daughter, Kelli (left), and their granddaughter, Riley (bottom)

The medical examiner found defensive injuries to both hands and her right arm. The weapon was a cooking knife with a blade about 8 inches long and 1 ½ inches wide and a plastic handle.

Prosecutors have charged 30-year-old Alton Nolen with first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon in the case. They plan to seek the death penalty.

Police say Nolen, a recent convert to Islam, attacked Hufford after learning he'd been suspended from his job at the plant.

After decapitating Hufford, Nolan allegedly attacked his other co-worker Traci Johnson, 43, who suffered serious injuries but survived

The owner of the plant, Sheriff's Deputy Mark Vaughn, put an end to the carnage when he grabbed a rifle and shot Nolen.

in the days after the tragic killing, Hufford, a wife, mother and grandmother, was described by her friends and family as a 'beautiful soul' who loved sports and was known for her upbeat personality.

Mrs Hufford, who had been married to her husband KC for 25 years, had only just recovered from the trauma of losing her family home in the devastating Moore tornado last year.

She is survived by her daughter, Kelli, and granddaughter, Riley.

Her neighbors described her as 'quick to smile' and said her husband picked her up from the food processing plant every night and he was outside when he found out she had been killed.

A funeral for Mrs Hufford was held at a Baptist church in Moore last week. Around 450 mourners attended the service, which was closed to the media.

In an official statement issued two days before the funeral, her family mourned their loss and deplored the violence which led to her death.

It said: 'Losing our mom, wife and grandmother has been one of the most difficult challenges any of us have faced in our lives'.

'For her life to have been taken in such a tragic act of violence adds a depth of grief we are trying to comprehend.'



It was revealed in late September that Nolen had served less than two years of a six-year prison sentence for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.

According to records, he went to prison March 10, 2011, to start a two-year sentence for marijuana possession and another two-year sentence for assaulting a highway patrol trooper, the website reported.

He began his six-year sentence for cocaine possession April 26, 2011. Records show that due to plea agreements, he was allowed to serve the three prison sentences at the same time.

He was released on March 22, 2013, the documents reveal.

On Nolen's Facebook page, listed under the name Jah'Keem Yisrael, he posted photos of Osama bin Laden and Taliban fighters, along with posts condemning a variety of aspects of American life.

Posts ranged from religious iconography to stock photography to even photos of supposed UFO activity.

It also included a graphic photo of a beheading.

Nolen's family members have said that they were surprised to learn of his conversion and never spoke about Islam explicitly with them.

Nolen's mother and sister posted a video message on Facebook over the weekend saying they were shocked and saddened by the allegations against him.

'My son was raised up in a loving home. My son was raised up believing in God,' his mother, Joyce Nolen, said in the video. "Our hearts bleed right now because of what they're saying Alton has done.

A spokesman for an Oklahoma City Islamic group said Nolen had attended services at a mosque where sermons were delivered condemning such attacks.

'In no way, shape or form did he represent Islam in this foolish act,' said Saad Mohammad, director of information for the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City.

He added that he remembers the suspect was 'a little weird'.

'He acted a little odd,' Mohammed said, though he added that Nolen's behavior never raised any 'red flags' since he began worshiping at one of the group's centers in May.

He also said that Nolen attended services where sermons were delivered against beheadings like those committed by Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, militants, reports CBS News.

Lewis said Nolen was fired right before the attack, and that he then drove from the building that houses the company's human resources department to its main distribution center.

Once inside, he attacked Mrs Hufford with a knife in the center's administrative office area, eventually severing her head, according to police.

Nolen then repeatedly stabbed Ms Johnson Nolen 'cut her across the throat and left side of her face,' and later told police he was attempting to behead her as well, the affidavit said. Johnson survived.

Police asked the FBI to help investigate Nolen after co-workers told investigators he had recently started trying to convert several employees to Islam.
