HELLO ALL - this is just a smalll PSA to say that I am currently without my laptop and am writing now from my SUPER old desk top. Which I'm surprised still works because I haven't turned it on it the best part of a year but here we are!
I will still be writing and replying , just possibly a tiny bit slower. My laptop is being sent off tomorrow and will hopefully be back by the 21st. I saved all my icons / psds / literally everything to a brand new USB stick, just incase with my luck they accidentally wipe the whole thing.
I'll be getting to the back log of drafts soon ! and asks will come later just because I need to prioritise. While my laptop is away I have slowed my queue down, and will hopefully be posting some extras as and when!
Wish me luck that I get it back in one piece!

Beg & Call || N.Romanoff
Tumblr media
Natasha Romanoff x AFAB reader
Summary- y/n and Natasha are togeter in Russia on a mission yet, Natasha take interest in making her yours.
Warning- Smut‼️ dom!natasha x Sub!reader strap-on , vibrator, fingers, gaging, a bit of boundge (very little), pet names, pet names (and the name slut) , ass smacking. Overstimulation
Psa- I am a Russian speaker, so my simplifications might not be the easiest to translate over. I'll do my best to include meaning/definition in the writing.
My Master list My  server
--------
Agent y/n, reporting in Saint Petersburg. Day 81 of mission BW.
Y/n had been working beside the amazing black widow for a few months now, yet that strong red head was like an addiction for y/n drawing them in like a fly caught in a spiderweb.
Tonight wasn't going to be the end of this mission but it would be a breakthrough, tonight Natasha and y/n were to attend a party like event which would not only have hydra members attending, but one of the main leaders of the organization would be attending giving us the opportunity to get the Intel they needed to arrest or take down the agency.
Walking out of the bathroom from the safe house y/n and Natasha was staying at, you watched as Natasha was now dressed in a beautiful black cocktail dress, her beautiful, red hair was hidden behind a wig to keep her from being recognized in what she could call her "hometown"
You were dressed nice as well, in a beautiful cocktail dress following the dressing norms of the event and Russian stereotypes. You watched as Natasha pulled a beautiful fur jacket onto herself before handing you some accessories, Natasha kept you on your toes her sly attitude yet charming personality always kept you feeling butterflies inside your chest.
"You coming darling" Natasha asked y/n heading for the door already causing you to play catch-up, stumbling over yourself to keep up with the Russian spy.
On your way to the event Natasha gave you quick remarks as reminders, to help you perfect your Russian, yet you also knew other than basic Smalltalk you had no intentions of speaking anybody.
Upon arrival to the event you win, along with the mission planned as told, placing the earpiece into your ear and walking and confidently memorizing your backstory. On the other hand, to the famous black widow this was child's play, so she decided to spice up the mission for herself, spending the night teasing you, Natasha was more than aware of the little crush you had on her, and honestly she was ready to use a to her advantage, and let's be honest y/n would look so pretty under her.
After mingling for some time, the man that you were here to gain information on just so happened to approach you.
"привет, ты здесь впервые? как тебя зовут?" (hello, are you new around here? What's your name?) he asked quickly with a sly smirk on his face, you looked him in the eye holding yourself with confidence before responding.
"я тут с другом я Саша" (Im here with a friend, I'm Sasha) y/n played off the questions with a hold of their identity quickly, using a common enough name to blend in. The conversation was going fine, until you felt a hand riding down on your lower back, turning around only to be meant with the sharp features of Natasha Romanoff, she was moving her hand down, lower while pushing herself in the conversation covering up for your Russian, you were a very well trained spy, and could keep a straight face, but the feelings inside you were bubbling.
Going along with your job, you originally thought Natasha was just playing the part of your "friend" but over time tonight she's been all over you, yet of course only you would notice, the black widow never blew her cover. Heading away from the crowd you found a door which specifically read "Не входить" (do not enter) hoping for some Intel you pulled a pin from your nicely done hair, and use the lock pick tool that was built into your bracelet to break into the room being met with an entire lab, a huge score for this mission you were quick to put flash drives where are you could to extract what you can in the time you have.
Rushing out of the room with the Intel you know held, you went to find Natasha to tell her it was safe to leave, making your way to the exit noticing the fake taxi waiting for you guys knowing it was safe to speak in the vehicle, as the driver was a shield agent.
Setting in the backseat you tried to fill Natasha in whom was sitting beside you but her hand slowly riding up on your thigh was mildly distracting, yet you want more so badly. Hoping to get back to the safe house quickly so you could make space between yourselves in hopes to pull yourself together, and be professional.
When arriving to the safe house as the two of you entered the safe house, Natasha pushed y/n's body up against the door as it shut going straight for the kiss, Natasha held that kiss till you both couldn't breathe, before pulling you to the bedroom.
"You were so good today? Being such a good spy hmm?" Natasha teased you with the praise, as she stripped herself from her dress revealing a strap she had hidden under tight dress, the size was shocking, y/n wondered how she could even hide that.You realized right then and there you were hers to fuck, hers to make dumb, you were at Natasha's beg and call.
"Look at you baby already so dumb for my cock?" Natasha comment made you moan softly causing her to chuckle
Natasha walked closer to you, grabbing your jaw with her long fingers holding you in a tight hold "You are okay with this right y/n"
Your rapidly nodded in response "yes, yes please" you didn't realize you were horny enough to beg, but you needed her.
"Strip." That was all y/n needed to strip away of all clothing.
"Aww so pretty for my детка." (Baby) Natasha was now hovering over you, pinning you to the bed, before reaching around to get a soft silky rope to tie your hands above you head, now limiting your senses as Natasha started to kiss you, no need to fight for dominance she already was in control, holding the deep kiss for some time before moving down your body, going for your neck before your chest. Drawing nice moans form your mouth was like music to the famous black widows ears.
She reached down running her single pointer finger threw your folds collecting your arousal
"Princessa you are dripping" Natasha teased before shoving her fingers into your mouth, pushing back cause you to gag a bit giving herself satisfaction in your gags
"You're so pretty for me, you want me to fuck you baby. Beg" Natasha pulled her fingers from your mouth moving the now wet fingers to your clit rubbing soft and slowly prompting you to beg her.
"Shit- Natalia please fuck me, please OH FU-" before y/n could finish as Natasha heard her given name she pushed her cock in quickly now feeling the need to fuck the person lying below her. Starting off at a quick pace not giving y/n much time to adjust, yet the pain would be pleaser full soon
"God I could fuck you for hours, days honey." Natasha grunted out pulling high pitch moans from your throat. She felt your tights try and close around her, as she was getting ready to rip your first orgasm from your body. With a scream you could hold it as you let go around her cock.
Natasha didn't give you much time to recover as she quickly flipped y/n over pushing you ass up in the air getting ready to take y/n from the back
"Mmmm what a good slut you are for me y/n I think we could go again, you can do that for me right darling" Natasha spoke down to you as her cock still was slightly inside your pussy, your hand still restricted above your head, and your face now being pushed into the bed Natasha have you a signal if it got to much, so she could stop.
She felt she gave you enough time to calm down she reached over to grab a vibrator turning it on to hold it onto your clit whole re-entering your pussy again bottoming out real fast. Pounding your cum right back inside you as she pressed the vibrator harder on y/n's clit
Y/n's legs started to shake leading Natasha to slap y/n's ass harshly making them Yelp.
"Come on baby, cum for me" Natasha encourage as y/n was a moaning mess reaching their peak and Natasha was pushing them over as she railed y/n.
Y/n came harshly shaking under Natasha, but the black widow wasn't done, she pulled the vibrator away letting it fall but not once she she stop railing y/n's cunt.
"T-to much nat..." y/n whined
"Come on baby one more" Natasha pushed getting herself off as she worked y/n into overstimulation determined to pull one more orgasm from them. Y/n was trembling as nat slapped her ass a few more times as y/n came so hard with a scream around Natasha's cock she collapsed into the bed, Natasha held her close yet she didn't remove the cock from their pussy. Holding y/n in their arms letting y/n whine but also relax.
"Such a good little slut for me, next time I won't be so easy on you" Natasha whispered into y/n's ear

when I make PSA announcements, they will only be up for specific amount of time because nine times out of ten the posts hold information regarding upcoming one-shots.

Komsomolka is now komsomo1ka with a 1
Tumblr media
(As per usual her tankie buddies are acting like she's a martyr that got banned over pro- Palestine posts and calling her a saint
Now I doubt this actually true, most likely they got banned because of all the previous hate speech but frankly even if it is I do not think a known genocide denier had anything good to contribute to that debate that can't be found elsewhere.)

love seeing the contrast between rhaenyra’s and alicent’s kids. i one side you have these loving boys that are ready to defend those in need, while doing their best to fulfill all duties they have as prince’s. a reflex of the relationship harwin and rhenyra had, with him protecting the kids while offering help (the training scene is adorable in many ways). although rhaenyra is no saint it’s very easy to see her love for the kids, even if at first she rejected the thought of motherhood that didn’t made her resent them at all. which ofc can be linked to her relationship with laenor and harwin (a much more healthy one than what alicent had). the way she’s close with them and clearly puts effort into raising them to be good boys (perhaps the sort of man she wished to have around early on). on the other hand you have alicent, clearly marked by her father’s abuse and the absence of a motherly figure. being sold off into marriage just so her house could have a better spot in the politics of everything. unlike rhaenyra she always put her head down and endured things silently, which can also being pointed out in her jealousy of the princess affairs (let’s be honest, she might care for nyra’s boye being bastards but the real anger comes from how rhaenyra managed to find someone, even if it broke all rules). when she looks at her kids there isn’t love or softness, only a wish to for them to get a spot she unfortunately would never be able to achieve (yes, being wueen is a bit thing. but is ultimately useless if you have no agency over yourself). it’s impossible not to point out her abuse behavior that comes out once in a while, and the lack of worry for her children’s morals ou behavior when it comes to the people surounding them. in one way you can almost say alicent weaponized them in an attempt to hold on to the last fragments of power that would soon die with viserys.
psa: this is not me dunking on alicent, i really do understand where she comes from and everything done to her. what gets me thinking is that someone that is so familiar to abuse, would normally not seek to reproduce such thing. somethings can only work as justification for so long, eventually you do grow up and what has been done to you (by her father or viserys himself) cannot serve as an excuse to perpetuate such behavior.

PSA American friends—
Do you know about RatzillaCosme?
Basically our sunscreens are terrible here because our FDA regulates the ingredients that block UV rays in a stupid way. The rest of the world has more effective, more elegant (and often cheaper) sunscreens. I’ve tried so many over the last 5 years, and my favorites are definitely Japanese. But because Japanese suncreens are made up of UV-blocking ingredients that aren’t approved by the FDA, we have to be a little creative in finding them.
RatzillaCosme is run by a girlie who tells us what’s on offer every new season (including in Japanese drug stores), and she tells us how to order them, too, whether from eBay, Amazon, Yes Style, Amazon Japan, etc.
Highly recommend! She’s a saint.
Happy summer, wear sunscreen.

Tuesday, Thirty Fourth Week in Ordinary Time
(Liturgical Colour: Red)
(Readings for the feria (Tuesday))
(There is a choice today between the readings for the ferial day (Tuesday) and those for the memorial. The ferial readings are recommended unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise)
First Reading
Revelation 14:14-19
The time to reap has come, because the earth’s harvest is fully ripe.
I, John, looked and there was a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud one who looked like a son of man, with a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. Another angel came out of the temple, crying out in a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, “Use your sickle and reap the harvest, for the time to reap has come, because the earth’s harvest is fully ripe.” So the one who was sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
   Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven who also had a sharp sickle. Then another angel came from the altar, who was in charge of the fire, and cried out in a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Use your sharp sickle and cut the clusters from the earth’s vines, for its grapes are ripe.” So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and cut the earth’s vintage. He threw it into the great wine press of God’s fury.
The Word of the Lord
R/ Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 96:10, 11-12, 13
R/ The Lord comes to judge the earth.
Say among the nations: The LORD is king. He has made the world firm, not to be moved;    he governs the peoples with equity.
R/ The Lord comes to judge the earth.
Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice;    let the sea and what fills it resound;    let the plains be joyful and all that is in them! Then shall all the trees of the forest exult.
R/ The Lord comes to judge the earth.
Before the LORD, for he comes;    for he comes to rule the earth. He shall rule the world with justice    and the peoples with his constancy.
R/ The Lord comes to judge the earth.
Gospel Acclamation
Revelation 2:10c
Alleluia, alleluia. Remain faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel
Luke 21:5-11
There will not be left a stone upon another stone.
While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus said, “All that you see here– the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.”
   Then they asked him, “Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?” He answered, “See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’ Do not follow them! When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end.” Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky.”
The Gospel of the Lord
R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus told his disciples this parable: “The Kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones, when taking their lamps, brought no oil with them, but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps. Since the bridegroom was long delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. At midnight, there was a cry, ‘Behold, the bridegroom!  Come out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise ones replied, ‘No, for there may not be enough for us and you. Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’ While they went off to buy it, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him. Then the door was locked. Afterwards the other virgins came and said, ‘Lord, Lord, open the door for us!’ But he said in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.’ Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”
The Gospel of the Lord
R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

2024 fast approaching - and what else
"as a woman with child is in pain and cries out in her pangs, when she draws near the time of her delivery, so have we been in Your sight, o Lord." isa 26:17
everyday as i write these messages i wonder which will be the last one. the last one because i still harbor it in my heart that our Lord will retrieve us this year. i just know our eyes should be on israel as God's stop watch.
like you, i am looking around at all the signs Jesus told us to look for. they are all visibly evident now and becoming more so each day. so what is holding things up? Jesus did not tell us to watch without a reason.
some have speculated that God is waiting for that last soul to be redeemed and come into the light but i think otherwise. do any of you remember playing hide and seek? the seeker would holler, "ready or not, here i come." God is the One seeking. i believe He has preset a time before all this extravaganza even began. and then - ready or not, here I come!
our eyes have watched all the appointed feast days when we expected Him to come. we have watched them pass as well. so if it is to be on a feast day, it looks like another year must be in the waiting for us. my question is - can we truly survive another year when we see all things that are happening? that in itself would be a miracle of God.
and yet i know we can because there will be many tribulation saints that will endure and overcome. the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony will enable them. unfortunately it will also cost most their very lives. there will be no pandering or pussyfooting around. post tribbers expect to be safely harbored through it all but i see their only deliverance being as an escape through death.
God's wrath, the wrath of man and eruptions from within the earth will certainly preclude any sense of ease or normalcy, let alone comfort. the tribulation will be a time like never has been or will be again.
but i and many others foresee a mighty deliverance of God for those that have loved His appearing and sought to please Him. He has promised us, "because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth." rev 3:10 yes, He will keep us from - not through!
and so, i ask again, we have watched. we have waited. watchers are assured that day will not take them unaware. we see the foretold disasters coming upon us now. has no one else noticed the mushrooming and intensity of weather patterns. in earthquakes and volcanos the earth itself is now groaning for redemption.
all the things we were warned us of matthew 24 are now happening. the end of this age is approaching. already we see more evil expansion than we ever thought to see. "are You not from everlasting, o Lord my God, my Holy One? we shall not die. o Lord. You have appointed them for judgment; o Rock, You have marked them for correction." hab 1:12 yes, them! not us.
we, o Lord, have been redeemed from Your wrath. You will not strike the Rock a second time and we are the composition of His very body. we have made a covenant with You by blood.
Lord, we are now, as it were, Your "ladies in waiting." "behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until He has mercy on us." psa 123:2 Lord, if it be our wait must continue a while longer to complete Your purpose, know we live to serve You alone and we will endure by grace.
while we hold that sentiment in our hearts i still remember Your word which shall never return void. we look not to feast days but to You alone. we know jerusalem is Your chosen habitation and the "apple of your eye." we know israel is the mother who will birth the man-child You alone conceived with your death. we watch with baited breath Your mighty wonders to perform. and yes, even as israel now enters her travail, i believe the man-child could still be caught up this year.
Lord, we know all knowledge and power resides in You alone. You are opening seals reserved for a time, a season and a purpose. You allow Your watchers a glimpse into Your eternal plan; the one You ordained in the beginning. we thank You Lord as we gaze upon Your wonderment and feast on the droppings from Your already prepared banquet table. draw us ever closer to You is all our desire.
our desire increases as the birth pains intensify. this will not be a coming when every eye shall see You and every tongue confess. it will be the secret calling of Christ's heart heard in the song of solomon 2:10 "my beloved spoke, and said to me: 'rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.'" it will the intimate calling of a bridegroom for his bride saying, "come. let us consummate our vows."
the unnamed angels present when Jesus ascended spoke and said, "men of galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven." acts 1:11
only chosen believers were selected to witness His victorious ascent. throughout scripture we read of things one person saw and yet not another; of things one heard while others just a noise. i believe our Lord's retrieval of His bride an "our eyes only" event; only His beloved? those who have loved His appearing. those with eyes to see and ears to hear. Lord, we watch and listen with baited breath Your wonders to perform. thank You for choosing us for such a time as this.

the armor of God
"put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." eph 6:11
i don't know how closely everyone has paid attention to the logo of this ministry, but it includes a pictorial representation of the armor of God depicted in the scriptures.  you see, the founder of this ministry was a deliverance minister herself.  she operated in the gift of discernment which the Holy Spirit furnishes.  i can still remember her saying that she learned deliverance through experience because she needed so much of it herself.  
the fact is, this is a gift of grace and it is afforded to all the saints.  some are just used in it more than others, perhaps their willingness being the only determined factor.  do you need confirmation of that?  "to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute on them the written judgment — this honor have all His saints." psa 149:8-9
let us get on with discussion of the armor before this daily gets way too long to hold one's attention.  the armor: the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of the gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, sword of the Spirit: Word of God - these are the weapons we battle with.
the belt of truth the first piece of the armor is the belt of truth.  truth, by its very definition, is exclusive.  it means something is true, and other things are lies.  the evil one is the father of lies.  every lie finds its origin in him.
some translations use a phrase like: 'having girded your loins with truth'.  the loin is an uncommon term in modern vernacular.  it refers to the lower back but includes the crotch area.  in ancient days, men would wear long robes that would get in the way of work or fighting, so they would wrap up the long, draping material.  this was girding up one’s loins.  the Lord knew our loins needed to be wrapped in truth.  regardless of our culture or time, the Lord has seen all our paths and how they have hurt and derailed us. He knows we need truth.
our identity is more than our sexuality, but this is one facet of our lives that we often view as a definer.  the first area of life in which the enemy frequently attempts to rattle is our sense of identity.  and the things pertaining to sex are easy pickings for him.  we see that happening way too often these days.  we need freedom regarding sexuality.  we need the truth about who we are.  and only Jesus is the truth that sets us free.
breastplate of righteousness righteousness means being made right.  we all carry the inherent righteousness of Christ but also indulge in the righteousness of the saints.  in daily spiritual battles, both varieties of righteousness protect the heart.  we need the complete righteousness of Christ but also the continuing righteousness that comes as a response to God’s gift.  the enemy tempts us with all kinds of sinful entanglements, but righteousness protects our hearts.  God’s instructions are often viewed as killjoys or burdens.  but obedience to God protects your heart from being wounded by sin.
soak in and obey instructions from the Lord.  if an area of life feels like it gets easily tangled up in sin, ask a church leader to share some scriptural truths that might help you walk in the Lord’s plan more fully.  ask a trusted person to pray for you if you struggle with obedience.  all Christians struggle, but none were meant to struggle alone.  we make easy targets for the enemy when we do not obey God.
shoes of the gospel of peace the gospel, which means good news, is the forgiveness of sins and access to and oneness with God through faith in Christ.  this oneness with the Lord produces peace.  ephesians repeatedly reminds us to “stand” and “stand firm.”  one of the easiest ways for the enemy to succeed in shaking us loose from standing firm is to tempt us with worry.  when we carry anxiousness and worry with us, we are robbed of peace.  but the gospel of peace keeps our feet anchored and standing firm.
ask the daily Lord to remind you of His gospel work on your behalf.  set your security and identity in His work and not yours.  surround yourself with scripture about the truth of your place with Christ into your heart, and remove the input that steals your sense of security in Christ.
shield of faith when paul wrote this passage, roman soldiers carried shields that were covered with heavy animal hide.  before a battle, they would dip their shields into the water so that when fiery darts hit them, the wet hide would extinguish the darts.  similarly, a christian’s shield of faith needs to be regularly dipped in the water of God’s word to be replenished and fully functional – because “faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” rom 10:17
"faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." heb 11:1  certainly there are gifts of faith God grants someone for a particular situation, but the norm is to feed one's faith continually with the word of God.  the righteousness of God is revealed to us from faith to faith and "the just shall live by faith." rom 1:17
helmet of salvation salvation comes the moment we place our trust in Jesus’ death and resurrection as the payment for our sin.  but salvation is also worked out through a lengthy process of sanctification.  the helmet of salvation (like the breastplate of righteousness) rests on the work of Christ to save us, but also involves us as we journey with the Lord and allow Him to work that salvation into every part of our thoughts.  the battlefield of our mind is the primary place spiritual battle is fought.  the Lord works His freeing truth into our perspectives while the enemy fights for strongholds to bind us.
surrender thoughts that don’t line up with scripture.  "set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." col 3:2  we are told to take every thought capture.  remember the Lord’s character and faithfulness in scripture as well as in your life experiences.  wash your mind with the renewing of God’s word, resulting in His good, pleasing, and perfect will.
sword of the Spirit: Word of God the explanation of this piece of armor is right there in the verse – it is the word of God.  when we are tempted, the most effective weapon that God has given to us as believers is the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.  Jesus modeled this so beautifully during His temptation in the wilderness.  when the devil tried temptation after temptation against Him, Jesus used the sword of the Spirit.  when the devil tempted him three times, Jesus responded with the truth of God’s word – every time.
the word of God - it is the only piece of armor that is both defensive and offensive.  with it we defend attackers and go on the offensive our self.  "for the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." heb 4:12  it is the rock we stand on and defend to the end.  it is the truth, light, goodness and grace we allow to grow and multiply within us. ------- hosea 4:6 says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."  part of that needed knowledge is to dress one's self up in the armor provided for the battle we are in and that battle is spiritual.  that's where warfare takes place and victories are won.  souls are freed and truths defended.  now that you're fully armored up, you are ready to stand firm, ready for all and any attack the enemy may launch.  God is so good!
