Ms. Clinton’s mother, Dorothy Rodham, partnered with her daughter in selecting most of the furnishings and landing on just the right paint and patterns... “Both my mother and I love color, and you can see, we have a lot of color in the house that came from our collaboration.”... “I have to say, it was a very nice refuge from my life in the Senate,” says Ms. Clinton of the process. “I’d come home or I’d get sent color samples, or fabric swatches, or pictures of furniture, and it was a nice way to turn one part of my brain off and turn the other on.”Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.
From the slideshow...
An anteroom ahead of the kitchen, this nook is used for informal meetings.... The space has a little desk that Ms. Rodham had used for correspondence and paying bills.We're calling her "Ms. Rodham now? And I'm supposed to picture her sitting at a little desk paying her own bills and doing "correspondence"? What is it, the 19th century all of a sudden? Is she still selling the idea that she doesn't know anything about email? [ADDED: Sorry, "Ms. Rodham" must be the mother Dorothy.]
[The decorator Rosemarie] Howe experimented in order to find just the right red for these walls, something coral and not too blue. She landed on Benjamin Moore Bird of Paradise 1305. The painting over the love seat is by Virginia artist Barbara Ryan. “It was something I saw and admired so long ago,” says Ms. Clinton. “We’ve had it for many years. Someone who looked at it remarked and laughed: If you look at the cloud or smoke in the back, it looks like a comic profile of my husband. But that’s not why I bought it.”Not why I bought it but I enjoy telling people the puff of nothingness in the background looks like my husband... who used to have a little nook next to the Oval Office for informal meetings.
I'm sorry! Am I going too deeply personal? All right then, I'll turn that part of my brain off and turn the other one on, the one that thinks somebody has some D.C. real estate to unload and a glitzy magazine to assist in reeling in a credulous buyer.
But listen to the color of your dreams/It is not living, it is not living/Or play the game "Existence" to the end/Of the beginning...
ADDED: Here at Meadhouse, the word "deeply" is considered deplorable. Read the 2014 post, "Deeply... it's such a poser word."
Said Meade... It made me wish I'd had a tag on the word "deeply" all along. It's a metaphor, creating an image of abstract concepts in space. Where are you when you are "deeply in love"? There are so many trite usages — deeply in love, deeply disappointed, deeply religious, thinking deeply, deeply troubled, deeply concerned, deeply offended, deeply regret — and "deeply" is deeply embedded in constitutional law doctrine with the phrase "deeply rooted in this nation's history and tradition." But I'm interested in seeing how is "deeply" is deployed in various political and cultural statements, so I've searched this blog's archive, and here's the best of what I found....There's a list of 12 items, and it deserves a new one, the unlucky 13th: "Step Inside Bill and Hillary Clinton's Deeply Personal Washington, D.C., Home." Interestingly enough, 2 of the items on the old list have Hillary:
5. Last May [2013[, Tina Brown said: "Now that Chelsea is pregnant, and life for Hillary can get so deeply familial and pleasant, she can have her glory-filled post-presidency now, without actually having to deal with the miseries of the office itself..."..."Deeply" — in the Hillary Clinton context — seems like a cloud or puff of smoke in the shape of defeat.
8. "Clinton’s interest in global women’s issues is deeply personal, a mission she adopted when her husband was in the White House after the stinging defeat of her health care policy forced her to take a lower profile."

Where's the closet with the private server? Is that nicely decorated?
And speaking of her private email account discussing all of her bribes from foreigners, I'm betting that we find out Brennan, Comey, Lynch, Power, Jarret and Obama all had private email accounts.
"Tag: Hillary goes away"
FFS I wish she may, I wish she might, I wish she'd make like Gore and fade from relevant sight.
Isn't "Ms" the title reserved for unmarried young women? That seems diametrically opposed to what Hillary! is . Was there a Victorian-era prefix title for spinster? Sp?
Ms Rodham?!? Is she going to run employing The New Nixon strategy?
Celebrate the Clinton's grift. It's in every square inch of color.
Laundering the Clintons. That's what the media is for.
What in God's name is the appeal of this woman?
Where does her power come from...this woman who's most relevant accomplishment was marrying a future Gov. of Arkansas?
Who are these sycophants? Why do they continue to bend a knee?
She's like this colossal stand-in for every aggrieved harpy in America and every gay dude with mommy issues.
Still. Not. President. Thank the maker.
What?! No photo of the marital bed shared by Mr. Clinton and Ms. Rodham?

I shouldn’t be shocked that there are still writers out there willing to gush and fawn over Hillary. But this nauseating bilge is striking in its cluelessness, as if they know nothing about [who the hell is Ms. Rodham?] other than what she bleated out dicing a tour of this house. Who is the audience? Who still wants to read hagiography unencumbered by the wreckage left in her wake? She perpetrated the most costly, unbelievable, dangerous political dirty trick in the history of the world, using other peoples’ money as usual, and yet this fluffy puff piece floats across the page with nary a nod to the real world. Again, who is this person writing for?
Celebrate the un-indicted felon. We changed her name to confuse you and set her free from her sexually abusive husband.
But i did hear on the "news" that Trump may have touched a woman once.
The adoration of Hillary is deeply entwined in the progressive liturgy.

"...cloud or puff of smoke in the shape of defeat"
They deeply desire to avoid the defeat word. In our modern feminine primary social order that word isn't allowed to be used for girls. It hurts their feelings. She didn't lose. The opportunity was stolen from her.
It. was. her. turn.
She cares deeply about women's issues. She works hard to keep women and little girls from feeling defeated.
"The people who had lived there before were very tall, so counters and things were quite high.”
This is the one good idea I took from my late step-monster: raise the kitchen counters and bath vanity cabinets. Of course, she ruined Dad's by using a too-deep sink and putting a microwave too close over the stove.
Wonder what HRC's idea of "very tall" is.
The adoration of Hillary is deeply entwined in the progressive liturgy.
The Lefties I know hate her almost as much as I do, and almost (but not quite) as much as they hate Trump. It's the Gentry Liberals who see her as one of their own.
Paying bills? Who even does that by writing a check anymore? I might manually write 12 checks a year mostly for gifts or taxes. Most everything else is online bill payment. Jeesh.
Whales shit deeply.
“The Clintons have a lovey connection to their past,” explains Howe, who not only selected the home’s furniture but also worked to place countless mementos and artworks the couple had collected over decades in the spotlight. “But it’s all with a total lack of pretense,"
Ha! I remember when we were told in the 90's that they didn't care about money.
Hey, isn't the outfit in the photo the same one she was wearing when she was thrown like a side of beef deeply into her van at the 9/11 ceremony?
Here at Meadhouse, the word "deeply" is considered deplorable. Read the 2014 post, "Deeply... it's such a poser word."
Architectural Digest is a poseur magazine edited by poseurs from material written by poseurs for poseurs to buy and place nonchalantly on the coffee table to impress poseur callers.
(Quaestor is being a bit of a poser by using the French antecedent of the word, but not deeply)
I think that's abe foxman son, who is part of the Jan wenner/conde nast archipelago
Because Hillary is a sociopath who feels nothing at all we must elevate her pretensions to humanness by prefacing references to “normal” traits with “deeply.” Their desired effect falls flat with this audience. Their habit of Modifying “personal” with “deeply” just sets off my BS meter.
I'm sorry, but only a woman would read about Hillary Clinton's color choices, and faux history.
This is like listening to one of Obama's speeches. He was always vague, and then let people assign a meaning.
A vocal tone reminiscent of a hipster therapist expressing deep concern about a client's troubles is the default in lefty arts colonies like Woodstock.
There's many perks to being a world historical figure. Your real estate is worth more on the resale market. Everything you use or touch is worth more. I bet Bill Clinton's gently used underwear would fetch a pretty price on EBay. No need to donate it to charity. It would be in poor taste for her to sell the used Depends though. You've got to draw the line somewhere, and someday the Clintons will find that line.
You don't put blue or green walls in a dining room--it makes food and faces look unappealing. And pink against pink? But the biggest blunder is the bright white woodwork.
Deep Throat. Deeply Intern.
deeply in love, deeply disappointed, deeply religious, thinking deeply, deeply troubled, deeply concerned, deeply offended, deeply regret
Deeply saddened. So perfunctory it’s become trite.
And what comes after deeply? Something even deeper we must suppose.
The point of emotions has become competitive. You feel something? It must be so overwhelming that you can barely express it. Otherwise, what’s the point?
If your emotion doesn’t stir an equally strong emotion in me, how are we supposed to talk about it?
To not share the experience is to be forced to ... listen.
Did they show pictures of the room with the crazy wall where she keeps that ginormous organizational chart with all the government lackeys and the law enforcement lackeys and the 'fixers' and all their respective pecking orders? And the other walls and the ceiling decorated with the country cut outs from the political atlas and the photos of the corrupt foreign leaders and their associated ledgers beneath and the skeins of different colored yarns draped about with push pins connecting everything?
The secret door must have been behind that bookcase she was leaning against.
I really loved the decorator Rosemarie's work on the old Dick Van Dyke show.
How much did Hillary charge for this article to appear?
The Clinton Global Initiative is deeply charitable. 8%.
Tune in, turn on, drop out — with Hillary Clinton.
No thanks. I'd rather shave my face with a belt sander.
The American Pyschiatric Association needs to weigh in on Hildabeast's delusions and mental illness. I used to get Architectural Digest for years, so glad I cancelled.
I bet some of the furnishing was stolen from the WH.
Rosemarie Howe is more than a bit of a poseur since she has no color sense worthy of the brahmins of the DC ruling class. This is Benjamin Moore Bird of Paradise 1305. This is the bird whose plumage inspired the color. And this is Ms. Hillary's future wardrobe.
There hasn't been a more resounding clash since RMS Titantic met that iceberg.
"Clinton's interest in global women's issues..."
Yeah. Hillary once was a leading voice against female genital mutilation, until she was told to STFU about it because she might offend muslims. So shut up she did.
Quaestor @9:23: Well done!
Hillary was named after a beekeeper in New Zealand. Later he accomplished something.
Nice to see that Hillary's interior decorator apparently holds greater sway than her stylist. Hillary has always made very questionable fashion choices, but the home looks quite lovely appointed. The blue on the walls the only decision I questioned, and yet even then it was not that bad.
What's left but to sink deeply into interior design from the designing women?
You can see what happened here. Some PR agent or supernumerary at the Clinton Foundation, or perhaps the CGI, pitched this story and "Architectural Digest" took the bait.
As a kindness, someone should send a message to the outer precincts of the mainstream press: Interest in the Clintons' personal lives, including their luxy houses and interior design ideas, was never high and has faded considerably, as will the colors on all the walls of their little DC redoubt.
They were A-listers when they had influence to sell, and they could give 15-minute speeches that fetched hundreds of thousands of dollars each. Donald Trump would pay them to class up the audience his latest wedding. People would read fashion stories about Chelsea's wedding dress.
It's over now, thank God.
"Whitehaven"? Sounds like a dog-whistle to white supremacists to me. Gawd, they're everywhere.
“I bet some of the furnishing was stolen from the WH”
At least some of the nicknacks. In the Sun room they showed something from the rulers of Jordan, and something from Nelson Mandela. Apparently Crooked Hillary thinks it was ok because they were given to the Clinton’s personally. If they got them while Bill was President, there was no such thing as getting gifts personally as head of state. Heads of states, in particular, exchange gifts when they meet - for example, the first edition of a Churchill work this visit by the Trumps to London where they met QE II. Those gifts belong to the country. It would just be the sort of brazen that Clinton would pull, putting stuff stolen from the White House on display in Architectural Digest. Laws like that only apply to the little people. Etc.
" she can have her glory-filled post-presidency now, without actually having to deal with the miseries of the office itself."
Kinda like Obama being a Nobel Laureate.
Oh hell. Lets start referring to her as President Clinton.
It sure reads to me like Hillary and her mom painted Bill right out of the picture.
It is Hillary's house. How often do you think Bill sleeps there?
I yield to no one in my distaste for Hillary Clinton but her house is lovely. Architectural Digest exists to produce pangs of jealousy. Don't be a frog leg looking for an electrical current.
The handlers advised Hillary humanize herself in preparation for the coming indictment.
the word "deeply" is considered deplorable
It's deeply deplorable.
But this nauseating bilge is striking in its cluelessness
See above. I may be wrong on the specifics, but there is a purpose to this.
Most importantly, is that an avocado tree in the solarium?
The handlers advised Hillary humanize herself in preparation for the coming indictment.
Yah it could be that but I suspect like all old media AD is as infected with TDS as their remaining readers. Those aging white women sputtering about Trump at the next table over whenever I go out to eat are all still paying AD subscribers I reckon...
Great place to bake cookies
deeply phony-- did the library have uncut books like Gatsby's?
Prole: I yield to no one in my distaste for Hillary Clinton but her house is lovely. Architectural Digest exists to produce pangs of jealousy.
The decor isn't ugly, it's pleasant enough, but there's nothing particularly attractive or "lovely" about it. Conventional decor circa 2019, no personal stamp. Nothing wrong with that, but fails in the task of inspiring envy or providing inspiration.
I enjoy looking through "shelter" magazines but my main complaint is that they just don't make me envious enough. I want aesthetic delight - design and color inspiration for the interiors, and, for the building, an "oh man what exquisite domestic architecture, I wish I could afford to buy a splendid old house like that/hire an architect" experience. Instead, there is a tendency for the featured rooms and houses in one issue to just look like all the featured rooms and houses in other issues.
I'm looking for a high-quality envy experience, not just another month of "how the hell do people with career X come up with the kind of coin necessary to own and run six fine homes/apartments on four continents?", prole-quality envy.
"Where's the closet with the private server? Is that nicely decorated?"
Given the gobsmacking variety of Hillary's perma-stank, it seems unfair to make fun of Warren for her little ol' Injun gaffe.

“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way”
They should have put a trigger warning on that last picture in the slideshow. A couple of the rooms looked nice, and a couple looked coyote gaudy, and a couple looked like tons of other houses.
Was that little room or closet off the Oval Office painted with Benjamin Moore Bird of Paradise paint? Or was it more a Cigar Brown? I've got to know (says the ghost of Howard Cosell)!
Yep, she plans to run again- just looking for the opening like a serpent.
As for "deeply", in the realm of politics, I don't think anything felt as deeply satisfying to me than Shelob's defeat in 2016. I felt like Captain Schadenfreude.
I could care less about the people the house belongs to except if it gets passed on to Chelsea when she’s elected to the Senate.
But, that aside, other than the coral walls and blue rug in the dining room I like the decorating.
"stinging defeat of her health care policy forced her to take a lower profile"
I remember that -- 500 lawyers were going to overhaul our health care. How about 500 surgeons overhauling our legal system?
Hillary's defeats are America's victories and vice versa.

You sound really special.
It seems like a nice, unassuming house, but Hillary's decorator played it very safe. The place looks like millions of other upper middle class suburban homes. It has no unique character or personality -like it was focus group tested.
There is a word for having beige as the main color:
boring
Much simpler to just make everything gold.
Oh good lord, why won't they just take their Foundation lucre, and go away?
She still isn't relatable. She just can't pull it off.
BUT...obviously she has a bunch of people DEEPLY committed to the couple. The McDougals would rather go to jail (and die!) than testify against the Clintons.
Vince Foster (ahem)
Huma.
Who was that fat bastard who Hillary used to look over the FBI files to find dirt to attack people? He also refused to testify.
So perhaps there is some charm in them...or is it merely explained by filthy lucre? I can't imagine giving up 10 years of my life JUST for money but folks be different.

Absolutely not.
She needs to be publicly humiliated and at least thrown into prison with a sentence measured by at least 4 digits in years.
At this point she cannot be allowed to slink away into anonymity. The long term survival of the Republic requires consequence for what she and her co-conspirators did.

"And what comes after deeply?"
Profoundly?
Unless there are bars on the windows, I'm not interested.
I just came across a book called The Mind Is Flat: The Remarkable Shallowness of the Improvising Brain. According to the publisher,
"The assumption is that below a mental “surface” of conscious awareness lies a deep and complex set of inner beliefs, values, and desires that govern our thoughts, ideas, and actions, and that to know this depth is to know ourselves.
In this profoundly original book, behavioral scientist Nick Chater contends just the opposite: rather than being the plaything of unconscious currents, the brain generates behaviors in the moment based entirely on our past experiences."
It looks interesting--and exaggerated.
I think server closet would be Bleach White, in satin sheen for easy wiping with a cloth.
Laws like that only apply to the little people
That's unfortunate for her as well.
There may come a day when Hillary wishes her crimes were punished within the Rule of Law.
People like her tend to forget that Justice is meant to not only protect the innocent, it's meant to protect the guilty from vigilante mobs.
"When the responsible authorities fail to act, other forms of authority will assert themselves. They may not behave responsibly, but they WILL act" - Glenn Reynolds
That house is gorgeous. I can't stand Hillary or anything she wears, but I would move into that house in a heartbeat.
As for the deeply ridiculous article that accompanied it, I have a little bit of personal experience. My house was recently featured in a regional magazine. My decorator did a terrific job and asked if she could have a photo shoot here, and then attempt to get it featured in a magazine as some advertising for her. Once my pictures were chosen by this magazine, they had to write something to go along with the pictures. Virtually EVERYTHING they wrote was inaccurate or just not right. It wasn't slanderous or anything; it just was incorrect or an exaggeration. We weren't ever contacted directly for a quote. I suspect that even though this is Architectural Digest, a lot of it is drivel concocted with a generous amount of license.
All AD featured home articles are like that.
Which isn't to say homeowners aren't ridiculous for wanting to be featured.
That article makes me retch, and not only because it is a fawning piece involving the miserable and disgusting Clintons. I can appreciate a beautiful house, for its location, decoration, and architecture, but this sort of lusty discussion is really off putting. Reminds me of my world traveling friends that tell me how and why they adored their trips to Sri Lanka and Burma, and just how important it was to experience those places first hand. Probably can discern wet leather and pencil lead in that glass of Napa Cab they've had in their cellar for 30 years too.
Yeah, I'll be over here. Thanks.

Personal? Other than a few carefully curated items to demonstrate Clinton's tenure at State & deeply personal virtue, that house is as sterile as a executive/corporate rental.
I especially liked the deeply personal stylist's coordination of Clinton's clothing and jewelry with the blue & white painting. The staginess reminds me of 3 Beekman Place and Mame Dennis'coordinated decor & outfits...but without the sincerity and/or humor.
warning-the site at the link could be a time sink.
Well, if you're a "liberal," you're used to turning off your mind, lest the laws of logic and economics confront you like Marley's Ghost. And if you're a Clinton, it would help to blank out the body count.

“All AD featured home articles are like that.”
My partner has had several of the houses she designed as an interior decorator shown there, and that seems right. The funny thing is that the ones that she has designed for herself were more spectacular. She does amazing things with color, stuff that many designers wouldn't try. The one I bought from her almost 20 years ago had burgundy carpets, medium blue as a secondary color, and light and dark woods tying everything together. Much of the furniture was white. The one that we spend our summers in has golden woods (ceiling, floors, and lower walls) predominating with orange and even red accents. The furniture is mostly dark brown, with a mix of new and antiques, some of which have golden wood inlays. Showed a friend, who is an artist, photos of the house, and she said that it is one of the warmest houses she has ever seen. Wants to visit after that. That isn’t the type of stuff though of hers that ended up in AD. Rather, for example, friend of hers has a two story waterfall in the entry. Whenever it breaks, he has to bring someone over from Italy to fix it, which means he mostly just runs it for guests. He also has a double circular stairway up to the second story. The key though is that he has a name that people in his city recognize. And that is the case for her other AD designs.
“Using Maddow logic = Hillary Rodham is a Russian Operative.”
She is certainly a Russian “asset” vowing to keep Keystone dead and to all but end fracking. What bigger favors could you do for Pooty poot?
Pooty poot.
As long as Maddow is OK with Hillary's money grubbing and Poot favors, that 150K spent on Facebook ads alerting five of mom's basement dorks that Hillary is "a satan", totally paid off.
What is a bridge and tunnel mcmansion? The Clintons purchased the 1951 home from a Republican businessman.
Is there anyway we can stop the MSM from writing about Hillary and Bill?
Every day, I thank God for Trump. Because it wasn't for him, the MSM would - RIGHT NOW - be giving us 24/7 "aren't Hill and Bill wonderful" news coverage.
Meanwhile Trump is having a wonderful trip in the UK. The first lady looks STUNNING in all her outfits. And UK press is fairly positive. Of course, if all you watched was CNN or American news media, you'd never know it.
I hope the Republican businessman was Seth Riched. We cannot abide that sort of enterprising evil.
Trump is making Obama's "UK to the back of the line" comment looking moronic.
Yeah, when I think MSM I think AD.
Assuming a life expectancy of 85 - we have at least 12 more years of Hillary is Great coverage.
From news article:
'A former key aide to Barack Obama has confirmed David Cameron personally asked the US president to warn Britain would be "back of the queue" for a post-Brexit trade deal.'
'A former key aide to Barack Obama has confirmed David Cameron personally asked the US president to warn Britain would be "back of the queue" for a post-Brexit trade deal.'
Was the UK Press complaining about Obama interfering in UK Politics back then? I must have missed it. Of course, with Trump its different.
Trump was very nice to Teresa May, saying she was a better negotiator than he was, and saying "She'd teed it up" for someone to do a "Great Brexit". Which was complete Balls, but May seemed pleased when he said it.
Don't be so pessimistic rcocean: Bess Truman, 97, Lady Bird, 94, Betty Ford, 93, Nancy Reagan, 94, Barbara Bush, 92, Rosalynn Carter still going at 91.
Trump also urged May to stick around!
The Brits have an awful "Chat Show" called "Good Morning Great Britain" or some such nonsense and the even more awful Pier Morgan got an exclusive interview with Trump. I've been trying to find it on line but have only seen snippets. Incredibly, Morgan asked Trump about serving in Vietnam! Yes, because what could be more relevant than whether Donald Trump served in Vietnam 50 years ago!
Trump said he'd have loved to have "served" in WW2 or other wars, but "wasn't a fan of the Vietnam war". Interesting.
Instead, there is a tendency for the featured rooms and houses in one issue to just look like all the featured rooms and houses in other issues.
I sent an abusive email to This Old House magazine about that and other things. They didn't print it for some reason.
"Here at Meadhouse, the word "deeply" is considered deplorable. Read the 2014 post, "Deeply... it's such a poser word.""
So when Althouse invites us deplorables to "think deeply" about something, she's actually deplorably trolling us?
Or, God forbid, does Althouse occasionally pose as a poseur, as we deplorables call posers?
"Deeply" — in the Hillary Clinton context — seems like a cloud or puff of smoke in the shape of defeat.
Well said! Loving your blog.
"Deeply"
Often a synonym for "phony," especially in Washington where politicians commission polls to tell them their Deeply Held Beliefs.
My problem here isn't with "deeply", but rather "personal". I think the phrase you're looking for, when it comes to Hillary, is "deeply robotic".
"So when Althouse invites us deplorables to "think deeply" about something, she's actually deplorably trolling us?"
I didn't notice a problem with this word until Meade commented about it, and I'd forgotten the problem, so I'm mostly quoting him. I'd say it's a word to watch and it often signals bullshit.
I guess I do say "think deeply" from time to time. I looked in the archive and think I say it about once a year.
My GPS accidently took me through Chappaqua once on my way to NYC. I had the car fumigated immediately after.

Has Robin Givhan ever written anything positive about Melania Trump? Of course she touted Michelle as the new Jackie-O.

Melania seems to be wearing a lot of white on this state visit and I wondered if it was a subtle homage to the Queen's mother, not Diana. Decades before Jackie charmed the French, the Queen Mother wowed them in white.
King George VI and Queen Elizabeth‘s infamous State Visit to Paris in July 1938 originally scheduled for June, was postponed to July after the Queen’s mother, the Countess of Strathmore, died five days before the start of the visit. The four day visit was extremely significant in the hostile environment of the late 30s. The Queen Mum, a life long fashionista known for her impeccable taste, was said to dread wearing only black mourning on a state visit. So Norman Hartnell, her couturier, came up with the idea to design an entire wardrobe in white, which is also a color of mourning in much of the world. Queen Elizabeth and her white gowns were a huge hit with the French.
I was surprised there wasn't more padding and corner guards on all of their furniture and interiors as Hillary has a lot of unexplained "trips" and "falls". Is she still taking anti-seisure meds?
That picture of Hildabeast has to be over 10 years old. She is now very rotund and wearing mumus. Where are the pictures of the stair lift? Archicterual Digest has joined the fake news club. So glad I cancelled it many years ago. Pathetic.
I would have liked to have seen her bar setup, but I am guessing they decided that a pallet of gin wasn’t that photogenic.
I have the same reaction when journalists and anti-gun activists write that someone is/was "heavily" armed. They even use this when only a pistol is involved.
