Brussels halts 5G deployment indefinitely: 5G project, says authorities, not compatible with radiation safety standards

2/27/2020

0 Comments

 
In the next year, preliminary 5G networks are set to roll out in China, the United States, South Korea, and Japan. In the next seven years, operators are projected to invest over $1 trillion to expand 5G wireless technology. With 5G, the telecom industry promises instant connectivity, paving the way for “smart cities.” 5G is a Big Tech dream come true – a data collection boon that will tie all internet-connected devices together and increase connectivity speeds up to 1000 times greater than existing 4G networks. As investors scramble to get a piece of the 5G pie, the technology is not projected for deployment in every first-world country, nor will it be accepted by every big city.

Brussels to halt 5G rollout over severe human health risks

In fact, the Minister of the Government of the Brussels-Capital Region, Céline Fremault, has vowed to halt 5G deployment. “The people of Brussels are not guinea pigs whose health I can sell at a profit,” states Fremault in an interview with L’Echo. “I cannot welcome such technology if the radiation standards, which must protect the citizen, are not respected, 5G or not.”

No exceptions will be made in Brussels. Fremault warns that 5G violates Belgian radiation safety standards. Fremault is heeding the warning of over 240 scientists and doctors from over 41 nations who have published research documenting the harmful effects of 5G radiation on all biological life.

These scientists have appealed to the United Nations, calling for a moratorium on 5G. The adverse effects of radio-frequency and millimeter waves on human and environmental health are well documented. 5G radiation has been shown to cause changes in bacterial growth, neuropyshiatric effects, DNA damage, and even cancer. Permissive countries (that sacrifice the health of their population) only consider the thermal effects of 5G. There’s much more to 5G radiation than that.

Scientists warn about the dangers of 5G


Dr. Martin Pall, Washington State University Professor calls the 5G rollout the “stupidest idea in the history of the world.”

In his studies, he warns about the very high energy outputs required to ensure efficient penetration of electromagnetic frequency waves. He also documents the extraordinarily high numbers of antennae that are planned, which will increase exposure to the deeply penetrating radiation. He also warns about the extremely high pulsation levels and the high level interactions of 5G frequency on charged groups, including the voltage sensor charged groups. This rapid influx of pulsed electromagnetic frequency fields has been shown to stress the calcium channels of cells (voltage gated calcium channels or VGCC). Two body systems most impacted by pulsed EMFs are the eyes and the kidneys. In preliminary studies, the downstream effects of VGCC activation include cataracts, detached retinas, glaucoma and macular degeneration. Moreover, the fluids in the kidneys allow regeneration of electrical fields. This impacts the glomerular filtration and reabsorption, adversely affecting two major functions of the kidneys.

The influx of 5G antennas will send out deeply penetrating magnetic fields that will disturb electrically charged groups that are dissolved in the aqueous phases of the body. When these charged groups are excited to action, they can regenerate electric fields that are essentially identical to the electric fields pulsing from the original EMFs. The amplification of electrical fields across plasma membranes produces EMF effects deep within the body because voltage sensors in the body are sensitive to outside electric forces and will reverberate the frequency. 5G will be the greatest assault of electric forces the body has ever had to endure. Once 5G is rolled out, the assault will be non-stop.

Because Brussels is calling out the dangers of 5G and blocking its rollout, they are currently a world leader for protecting human health.

Google-funded fact checker targeted my article as “not credible and potentially harmful” - even though the article is based on a decided court ruling

2/26/2020

0 Comments

 
A fact-checking organization, funded by Google and promoted by Google (see below) took a closer look at some of the most widely circulated health articles of 2018 in an effort to debunk popular health claims. One of the articles is about a court ruling confirming that the Gardasil vaccine killed a young girl. That article, penned by yours truly, provides a brief synopsis of a court case that involves vaccine injury. The article is titled, "Court ruling confirms Gardasil vaccine kills people... scientific evidence beyond any doubt... so where is the outcry?"

The Tarsell family did in fact fight the government for eight years to validate a medical burden of proof that their daughter “died from an arrhythmia induced by an autoimmune response” to Gardasil - an HPV vaccine that she received only days before her death.

The final ruling was confirmed by the Department of Health and Human Services; however, according to this Google-funded fact checker, the information I present is “not credible” and “potentially harmful.”

No matter how hard the fact checker tries to discredit the information, she must live with the fact that she’s arguing against a decided court case with a medical burden of proof. The information is only “potentially harmful” to the profits of Merck and other pharmaceutical companies that manufacture HPV vaccines. The article is “potentially harmful” because it debunks the religious mantra that is repeated over and over again in the media: vaccines are 100 percent safe and effective!

How dare I be so dangerous for presenting factual information! The article also makes a bigger point: why don’t the media take death by vaccine just as serious as school shootings? The young girl was killed by the vaccine. The simple answer: the media is funded primarily by the vaccine makers.

Google, operating as pharmaceutical company PR, is using fact checkers to bury truthful information about vaccine injury. Most of the debunked claims on the Health Feedback page had to do with burying truthful information about vaccines. This is their main objective: to build the public's faith in vaccine dogma.

Google revealed that they are “collaborating with the industry to surface accurate information.” They admit to “partnering with the Credibility Coalition to drive the development of technical markers that can enable third party assessments of online content.” The Credibility Coalition (funded by Google) is the entity that financially supported the big fact checking hit job that was conducted on these widely circulated health articles, including mine. It should also be noted that Health Feedback is open about being a propaganda arm of the World Health Organization, a vaccine pushing entity that erroneously proclaims that "vaccine hesitancy" is a top public health threat.

Google, the World Health Organization, and the young puppet who tried to discredit this important information about vaccine injury, is literally putting lives at risk. HPV vaccines are inherently risky, unnecessary medical procedures that have harmed countless young people. Vaccines are provably “potentially harmful” and Google-funded pharmaceutical PR campaigns are deceptive frauds.

These individual fact checkers should check their hearts and reconsider what they are doing and who they are working for. We should all be working for transparency for information on vaccine injury, not trying to suppress it. We should all be working on improving vaccine science and the many facets of immunology, instead of worshiping faulty science.

Illinois introduces extreme slate of pharmaceutical dictates, stripping parents of their rights, segregating normal kids from a public education, criminalizing parents who don't vaccinate their kids, and much more

2/15/2020

PictureHeather A. Steans (D)-IL
Like a spineless puppet, Illinois Senator A. Steans (D) introduced SB3668 - a collection of statutory mandates that strip away parental rights when it comes to making medical decisions for their children.

Here is what Steans introduced to Illinois 101st General Assembly, to be tentatively made effective January 2022:

The bill amends the School Code, and takes away every parent's religious exemption to any and all vaccinations and other medical examinations required by the state. Anyone who doesn't follow along with the list of vaccine mandates will not be allowed to let their child attend  public schools, day care, private schools, and parochial schools. With this dictate, the state is literally claiming ownership over your child's body, allowing pharmaceutical companies to impose liability-free biologics on all children, with no rights or recourse for parents.

This is not a pro-vaccine versus anti-vaccine debate. This is the state government taking away your rights as a parent, while dictating the doctor/patient relationship. The state government and the pharmaceutical industry are using your child's education as leverage to force you to do what they want!

No college either

The bill also removes an individual's religious exemption to vaccination at the college level. Anyone entering an Illinois college will be forced to show proof that they received all vaccinations required by the government. If you object to the vaccines required, you won't be able to pursue a degree in the state of Illinois.

IL adds HPV vaccine to growing list of vaccine mandates

Not surprisingly, the Illinois House introduced Bill 4870 at the same time as this bill. HB4870 would amend the Communicable Disease Prevention Act to require students of any public, private, or parochial school to succumb to HPV vaccines in order to enter sixth grade. This bill adds the HPV vaccination to the expanding list of required vaccines for school entrance. If SB 3668 passes, the government will be able to mandate whatever they want, and you, the parent, will not have a choice in the matter!

Religious exemption only safeguard left for parents in IL, but parents shouldn't have to beg the government because the government doesn't own their child

The religious exemption is the only statutory safeguard left in Illinois to protect a parent's right to choose what is best for their child. There is currently no Parental Bill of Rights to protect parents from the scourge of pharmaceutical mandates that continue to be introduced as statutes under the law. Parents should not have to beg the government for an exemption to a biologic injection that has well documented risks.

Parents should not have to beg any authority for an exemption to any pharmaceutical decree. It should be the other way around. Any authority should have to beg each and every parent before biologics are administered or any other medical procedure. In other states, pupil dilation of newborns, dental checkups, physicals, forced vasectomies, are just a few medical procedures that have been proposed as mandatory when medical freedom is stripped from the individual. When the rights of the individual and the rights of the parent are stripped, then industries will use the government to force you to do whatever they want!

In Illinois, parents can currently choose a religious exemption to some or all vaccines, whatever is best for their situation. In Illinois, this exemption must be obtain from a doctor. In other states, parents have the ultimate say and do not have to explain their religious exemption with a doctor.

The bill is segregation toward certain children, imposing financial burden on families who do not bend to every mandate

Each and every vaccine should be a private matter and not subject to interference by the government. However, SB3668 removes all religious freedom from biologics and pharmaceutical products, segregating families from a public education if they do not comply with all injections required by the state. This bill clearly and plainly segregates perfectly normal kids from an education. These children should not be treated as an inferior race.

This bill puts extreme financial pressure on parents, limiting their income potential because they must make other arrangements for their child's education. Parents affected by this level of discrimination and segregation should be able to sue the government because the government is restricting their freedom of movement and freedom to participate in society. Moreover, persecuted families should get compensation for the financial burden that results from accommodating such longstanding segregation.

Medical exemptions will be defined by the ACIP, ignoring previous vaccine injuries and family history of medical issues

With parental rights vanished, this bill will only allow specific "medical exemptions" to vaccination - exemptions that are defined by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
The ACIP gets to decide whether vaccines are contraindicated for your child. The ACIP contraindications are extremely limited and do not include numerous serious contraindications that are listed on the vaccine insert. The ACIP does not accommodate for the medical history, previous vaccine injuries, and many medical disabilities in your family. Annual renewals for medical exemption would place a serious financial burden upon families and make parents subservient to an authoritarian pharmaceutical government. This interferes with and violates doctor/parent/patient relationship and personal sovereignty.

Bill "empowers" young children to defy their parents in matters of important medical decision-making

Moreover, this bill takes vaccination force to a new coercive level, encouraging children 14 years or older to defy their parents and seek vaccinations that the parents have not authorized. Senator Steans believes this "empowers" youth. This provision in the new bill is a form of manipulation, teaching adolescents to defy a parent or guardian in serious matters of medical decision-making.

Regardless of whether the parent or guardian consents to the administration of the biologic, children can secretly be injected with whatever they have been convinced to get, and parents and children will have to live with any consequences of the secretive act.

No privacy with vaccine decisions, HIPPA laws violated


This bill also amends the Immunization Data Registry Act, giving the government more power to track vaccine compliance by mandating that information be entered into the immunization registry data, with no choice to opt out.

This bill also amends the Communicable Disease Prevention Act, and removes language providing that the Act does not apply if a parent or guardian of a child objects to immunization of his or her child for conflicting with his or her religious tenets or practices. With this amendment, public health authorities can declare an "outbreak" even if a few people are experiencing a benign infection. The government can use this outbreak to forfeit any religious objections to vaccination in the community, targeting all individuals with hysteria-generated mandatory vaccine campaigns with no way to legally object.

Vaccine manufacturers can reintroduce mercury to vaccines

This bill erroneously repeals the Mercury-Free Vaccination Act, allowing vaccine manufacturers to again use mercury in their formulations.

Parents can be charged with "medical neglect" and separated from their child for refusing vaccine dictates

This bill also removes language  providing that a child shall not be considered neglected or abused for the sole reason that specified persons failed to vaccinate, delayed vaccination, or refused vaccination for the child due to a waiver on religious grounds. This omission essentially allows any authority figure to report parents to the Child Protective Services if they do not vaccinate, potentially stripping custody away from parents for an accusation called medical neglect.

If you choose not get the HPV vaccine for your sixth grader, for example, you could be charged with neglect by an overzealous doctor, nurse or authority figure. It is not "neglect" to forgo a vaccine that you do not consider important for your child. This is an attempt to intimidate parents and shame them for making their own informed choice. As bad as all the segregation is, this provision is the most egregious part of the new bill.

Senator Steans is not the ultimate decider for what goes into your child

Senators should be introducing legislation to protect people form this kind of coercion. Instead they openly permit it. SHAME ON ANYONE WHO VOTES FOR THIS BILL AND SHAME ON SENATOR STEANS FOR BEING A SPINELESS PUPPET. STEANS is not the ultimate decision-maker for the vaccines and medical procedures for every child in the state. STEANS needs to be humbled for daring to introduce a bill that treats parents as if they are subjects. STEANS should be removed from office for daring to treat unvaccinated children as some inferior race that must be either forcibly injected like dogs or segregated like from the rest of the public.

I demand the senator reverse course immediately and introduce a Parent's Bill of Rights, upholding religious and philosophical freedom for all parents to decline any biologic or medical procedure that they conscientiously disagree with.

Legislature should be protecting public from the very segregation and forced drugging that Steans has introduced

The legislature should be working overtime to protect all parent's conscientious, religious, medical, philosophical, and scientific freedom to refuse any biologic they do not want for their self or their children.

Furthermore, your decisions as a parent when it comes to vaccination should never be used to frame you for "medical neglect."

Encourage your representative to adopt a Parent's Bill of Rights to enshrine fundamental human rights into law to protect against future mandates.
Your representative can help by urging
the United States Congress to propose and submit to the states for ratification an amendment to the U.S. Constitution enumerating a fundamental parental right. It is time for the 2020 Legislature to lead the way by passing the Parents Bill of Rights which enumerates all of the existing rights scattered through the state statutes into one section of law so that parents can have an easy way to reference and understand the significant protections that the Legislature has historically preserved for ALL parents. By supporting this measure, your rep can send a clear message to all families that they respect family diversity, favor inclusivity, and acknowledge the fundamental role of parents in directing the upbringing, education and care of their precious children.

You can control your blood pressure without medication – here’s how

2/12/2020

0 Comments

 
M. Alfredo Mejia, an associate professor in the Department of Public Health, Nutrition & Wellness at Andrews University in Michigan has developed a program to help people manage their blood pressure using diet, exercise, and sleep. Mejia presented his NEWSTART Lifestyle program at the American Society for Nutrition’s annual meeting. The program focused on a plant-based diet that includes fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, seeds, and nuts. The program also targets water consumption, regular exercise, stress management techniques, and sleep.In Mejia’s first study, half of the participants in his program lowered their blood pressure to a recommended level in just fourteen days.That’s equivalent to the results you can expect from standard medical treatments. Lifestyle changes ultimately freed 93 percent of the participants from all their blood pressure medications.

Case study of man who healed himself of high blood pressure using lifestyle/diet modifications

This report follows the life of a man who was diagnosed with hypertension when he was thirty years old and tells the remarkable story of his recovery from high blood pressure and weaning from medication through the use of lifestyle changes and diet modifications. At the time of diagnosis, he followed a doctor’s advice and took lisinopril, an ACE-inhibitor that blocks a hormone in the adrenal gland, forcing the kidneys to secrete sodium into the urine. By default, this process lowers blood pressure, but in many people’s cases, more medication is needed to continue the effect.

The required dosage increased; captopril and norvasc were prescribed to keep his blood pressure low. The drugs causing lethargy, dry cough, and swollen lips. He experienced intermittent heart palpitations and episodes of intense heart racing when bending over and standing up. The root of the problem was never fixed with the medications. This is when he began to seek a holistic way to control his blood pressure.

Instead of manipulating enzyme processes and hormones using medication, he began to give his cells the instructions they desperately needed for improved blood flow and reduction of arterial plaques. He made it a priority to include 1 cup of organic spinach, 1 organic carrot, a bowl of oatmeal, 1 T of flax seed, 1 organic apple and 2 tablespoons of spirulina in his daily routine. He also enjoyed a 1/2 cup of various tree nuts which included almonds, pecans or Brazil nuts. He routinely consumed 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with the mother intact. This allowed for better absorption of nutrients and proper digestion. He made sure to get plenty of restorative sleep. Studies have linked the importance of quality sleep to cardiovascular health.

Furthermore, he supplemented his daily routine with a mixture of powdered roots, barks, and berries. These included 1 teaspoon of the following: hawthorn berry, turmeric root, oat straw, schisandra berry, burdock, catuaba bark and Eleutherococcus root (Siberian ginseng), with some cayenne pepper.

He made sure to drink 120 ounces or more of clean water daily, filtered by activated charcoal filters to remove pesticides, heavy metals, endocrine disrupters and runoff medications. Vitamin D and an L-arginine supplement were also important. He intentionally exposed himself to the sun for 30 minutes each day and supplemented with vitamin D3. He also avoided “aspartame, MSG, corn syrup, and processed food in general.”

By his mid-thirties he had weaned himself off the medication and regularly recorded healthy blood pressure readings, averaging 120/80. In his forties he lived very well, free of medication. Even as he hit 50, this man recorded lower-than-normal blood pressure readings.

Common sense approach

Lifestyle adjustments are a required part of maintaining good health, even for those on medication. Good results are not surprising when you make these changes, according to Dr. Andrew Freeman, a cardiologist at National Jewish Health in Colorado. Science has backed this approach for a long time. But it does take work.

Injuries to arteries and acute medical conditions may require medical intervention, but lifestyle generally dictates longevity. You too could enjoy a healthy blood pressure throughout life, without medication, if you’re willing to make good choices and establish good eating habits that prioritize healthy blood flow.

Memory is impaired by prescription blood pressure meds, but pomegranate juice improves blood pressure and cognitive function

2/12/2020

0 Comments

 
Struggling to find clinical benefits for statin drugs and blood pressure medications, a team of researchers put two drug protocols to the test to see their effects on human thinking and memory. The research, funded by the maker of the drugs (AstraZeneca), hoped to find cognitive benefits for candesartan and hydrocholorothiazide, rosuvastatin, or a combination of the protocols. The study was published online in Neurology, the medical journal for the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). The AAN represents the world’s largest association of neurologists and neuroscience professionals and is dedicated to promoting the highest quality patient-centered neurological care.

Neurologists find out that statin and high blood pressure meds do not improve oxygen-rich blood flow to the brain

The study found that the statin and the high blood pressure med were unable to slow declines in thinking and memory of human participants. Even though heart disease is closely linked to problems with thinking and memory, the statin and high blood pressure medications were unable to improve blood flow to the brain and slow cognitive decline over a six-year period.

“Heart disease has been linked to problems with thinking and memory, so we examined whether managing heart disease with medications like blood pressure and cholesterol lowering drugs can reduce some of those cognitive problems,” said study author Jackie Bosch, Ph.D., of the Population Health Research Institute and the School of Rehabilitation Science at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

The study included over 1,600 adults with an average age of 74. According to vital signs, all were determined to have a one percent chance of having a heart attack or other cardiac event that same year. At least 45 percent of the participants had stage two hypertension or high blood pressure. The participants were given physicals every six months and had to take thinking and memory tests immediately before the study, every six months, and after the six-year study period.

One group took a daily dose of 16 milligrams of AstraZeneca’s blood pressure med candesartan and 12.5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide. Another group took a daily dose of 10mg of rosuvastatin. The third group took a combination of the drugs and the final group took placebo pills. When compared to the placebo group, neither of the prescription drug protocols reduced cognitive decline over the six-year period.

This brings up the question: Are the drugs addressing systemic inflammation of the epithelial cells that line the inside of the arteries? Are the drugs helping promote oxygen-rich blood flow to the brain and other organs? If memory and thinking do not improve while the drugs are used, are the drugs helping the arteries heal or not?

In any event, the study falls short because it did not compare the drugs with any true natural medications, such as pomegranate juice.

Pomegranate juice improves blood pressure, LDL cholesterol levels and memory and cognitive function

Pomegranate juice has been found to lower blood pressure, improve LDL cholesterol levels, while boosting memory and critical thinking processes. New research from Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine finds that pomegranate juice can significantly improve verbal memory tests, while increasing brain activity for “critical task-related” regions of the brain. The benefits were observed in as little as four weeks and were tested against a placebo. Researchers used memory tests, MRI scans and blood draws to document significant improvements during verbal and visual memory tasks. This is because pomegranates possess a unique arrangement of antioxidants that drastically reduce oxidative stress and help unclog arteries.

In fact, a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that pomegranate juice can reduce plaques in carotid arteries up to 30 percent in a given year’s time. Those who did not drink the juice saw no benefit and actually saw an increase in arterial blockage as great as nine percent. Because pomegranate juice effectively reduces arterial plaques, those who drink it receive improved blood flow throughout their body, especially to the brain. The influx of oxygen-rich blood to the brain helps with verbal tasks, memory, and improved cognitive function.

The pomegranate study from Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine concluded: “After 4 weeks, only the pomegranate group showed a significant improvement in the Buschke selective reminding test of verbal memory and a significant increase in plasma trolox-equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and urolithin A-glucuronide. Furthermore, compared to the placebo group, the pomegranate group had increased fMRI activity during verbal and visual memory tasks. While preliminary, these results suggest a role for pomegranate juice in augmenting memory function through task-related increases in functional brain activity.”

Neurologists should be recommending antioxidant-rich medicines such as pomegranate juice for improved blood flow to the brain, while calling for more studies to compare failing drugs with real medicinal foods.

Antibiotics may actually increase risk of flu, decimating innate immune signalling in lung cells

2/12/2020

0 Comments

 
Are antibiotics a form of biological warfare, weakening your ability to fight infections? A new study published in Cell Reports condemns the use of prescription antibiotics because these drugs suppress innate immune signals. Antibiotics may actually increase your risk of getting the flu and having complications from any infection because they suppress an antiviral immune signal located directly in the lungs.

Antibiotics weaken innate anti-viral immune response in lung cells

Researchers from Francis Crick Institute, a biomedical research centre in London, learned that antibiotics weaken first line immune response in the lungs by altering the microbiome. The damage was observed in the immune system of rodents after a two week course of antibiotics. The antibiotics weakened a first line of defense in the lungs called type I interferon (IFN). This immune suppression made the rodents more susceptible to influenza and made it harder for their immune system to fight the virus post infection, leading to more severe symptoms and complications from the flu.

Primary care physicians have been carelessly prescribing antibiotics for decades, putting patients at increased risk of influenza infections, while instigating complications from the flu. Antibiotics are not only speeding up the evolution of pathogens but they are also destroying innate immune response to viruses, allowing common infections to become more severe and deadly. About 700,000 people die yearly due to drug resistant infections that are taking advantage of weakened immune systems.

Rodents, not exposed to antibiotics, “over produced” these innate immune signals and were less likely to catch the flu at all. When a virus breaches the immune system, the body will send out IFN signals, triggering a form of inflammation that selectively targets the virus without damaging healthy tissue.

“This study supports that taking antibiotics inappropriately not only promotes antibiotic resistance and wipes out the commensals in your gut that are useful and protective, but it may also render you more susceptible to viral infections,” concluded Dr Andreas Wack, leader of the study.

Furthermore, the researchers were able to reverse immune suppression by transplanting fecal matter from the healthy mice to the weak mice that were damaged by antibiotics.

Anyone who takes antibiotics is immuno-compromised, more susceptible to viral infection, and at risk to complications from influenza

The rodents with a productive IFN response were more resistant to the flu virus from the onset. If an infection did take hold, the viral load was significantly reduced after eight hours. After two days, the virus did not take hold and a subsequent immune response never fully kicked in because it was not necessary. These rodents recovered more quickly and didn’t suffer from complications. When these same mice were given antibiotics for two to four weeks, the innate anti-viral signals they once possessed began to diminish.

The antibiotics decimated the innate signaling in the rodents’ lung stromal cells, the connective tissue that encases the lungs. The researchers could only restore this innate immune response by transplanting fecal matter of healthy rodents to the immune-suppressed ones. The fecal transplant boosted the population and diversity of gut bacteria, helping these living commensal bacteria species mediate innate immune response in the lung cells again.

“This and previous studies demonstrate that microbiota-driven signals can act at multiple levels,” said Dr Wack. “[The signals] induce an antiviral state to control infection early on, enhancing the functionality of immune cells later in infection.”

“Previous research has suggested that the microbiota-driven signal in lung stromal cells could originate either from the gut or the lung,” Wack says. “However, in the work presented here, the results of the fecal transplant experiments strongly suggest a gut involvement in this effect. We would love to understand the exact nature of the signal from the gut to the lung, and we are working on several hypotheses.”
