Wild Card Two's Koe beats Gushue 9-7 to hand defending champs first loss at the Brier

CALGARY — Two of the favourites in the Canadian men’s curling championship field showed Sunday night why they’re expected to be in the playoff mix again this year.

Kevin Koe’s Wild Card Two team defeated Canada’s Brad Gushue 9-7 to hand the defending champions their first loss of the preliminary round.

Down one with hammer coming home, Koe put the pressure on by sitting three. Gushue was a tad heavy with his final draw and Koe picked it out for the victory.

Every player shot at least 80 per cent in a back-and-forth battle between longtime rivals.

“That was definitely a signature-type game for us I think,” said Koe third B.J. Neufeld. “It’s good to have it here early.”

Koe improved to 4-0 after seven draws at the WinSport Arena while Gushue fell to 2-1.

In other late games, Quebec’s Michael Fournier beat Prince Edward Island’s Eddie MacKenzie 10-4, Ontario’s John Epping crushed Nunavut’s Peter Mackey 16-1 and Nova Scotia’s Scott McDonald defeated Greg Smith of Newfoundland and Labrador 11-4.

Koe is hoping to win a record fifth career Tim Hortons Brier title as skip. Gushue, from St. John’s, N.L., has won the Brier in three of the last four years.

“I think we learned that if we’re in a tight game against a good team that we can pull it out at the end,” Koe said. “Make the shots that we need to and that’s always a good feeling to do that.”

Quebec and Ontario moved into a second place tie in Pool B at 3-1. Gushue was tied in fourth place with Saskatchewan’s Matt Dunstone.

Koe’s Alberta-based team beat P.E.I. 12-5 in the morning draw.

“Our schedule is a little back-heavy in terms of the favourites in the pool, which is probably a good thing,” Koe said after the early win. “We’ve (had) a few games to figure some stuff out and play some real games for the first time in a long time.

“Now we’re looking forward to the challenges ahead.”

Gushue offered a significant test from the start, opening with hammer and scoring a deuce when Koe was heavy with his last draw.

The defending champion had rare back-to-back misses in the second end and Koe took advantage by scoring three. Koe made a draw for two in the sixth for a 5-3 lead but Gushue pulled even with a hit for a pair.

Koe was forced to one in the eighth and Gushue made a draw for two to take the lead in the ninth.

With the victory, Koe improved to 38-26 in career head-to-head matchups against Gushue.

In the afternoon draw, Wayne Middaugh – who’s throwing fourth stones for the injured Glenn Howard on Wild Card Three – led the Ontario-based rink to a 12-2 rout of Yukon’s Dustin Mikkelsen.

Middaugh moved into a first-place tie with idle Manitoba atop the Pool A standings at 2-0.

“Now we’ve hopefully learned a few things and we can keep playing at a good level with the really top teams that are here,” Middaugh said.

With the game well in hand, Howard came on for the last two ends to play lead for the first time in his long career. He has moved into the alternate role at the 10-day event as he’s nursing sore ribs.

New Brunswick’s James Grattan dropped a 6-5 decision to Alberta’s Brendan Bottcher to leave both teams at 2-1. Wild Card One’s Mike McEwen and Northern Ontario’s Brad Jacobs were also 2-1 after afternoon victories.

McEwen’s Manitoba-based rink topped B.C.’s Steve Laycock 10-7 while Jacobs beat Greg Skauge of the Northwest Territories 7-5.

Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan picked up morning wins. Epping defeated McDonald 12-7, Fournier trounced Mackey 15-1 and Dunstone doubled Smith 6-3.

Nova Scotia was alone in sixth place in Pool B at 2-2, ahead of P.E.I. (0-3), Nunavut (0-3) and Newfoundland and Labrador (0-4).

B.C. (0-2), N.W.T. (0-3), and Yukon (0-3) remained winless in Pool A.

The preliminary round continues through Thursday night. The top four teams in each pool will advance to the two-day championship round.

The semifinal and final are set for March 14. The champion will represent Canada at the world men’s curling championship next month in the same Canada Olympic Park venue.

Canada Sets Another Record with 341,000 of Immigrants in 2019

Canada continued its immigration record-setting tempo by welcoming 341,000 newcomers in 2019. That is solely the fifth time in its historical past that it has welcomed greater than 300,000 immigrants in a single year (the opposite occasions have been 1911-1913 and 2018). Canada additionally exceeded the goal it set in its 2019-2021 Immigration Levels Plan (330,800 immigrants) by greater than 10,000 immigrants.

The nation additionally caught to its plan by welcoming 58 per cent of its newcomers underneath the economic class, whereas 27 per cent arrived via family sponsorship, and the remaining 15 per cent were welcomed below the refugee class.

25 per cent of recent immigrants got here from India

India stays the primary supply nation of newcomers to Canada. The roughly 86,000 Indians who grew to become permanent residents in 2019 accounted for 25 per cent of all newcomers to Canada. China was a distant second accounting for 9 per cent of newcomers, adopted by the Philippines which accounted for Eight per cent of recent immigrants. Nigeria, the United States of America, Pakistan, Syria, Eritrea, South Korea and Iran rounded out the highest 10 source nations.

Complete New Immigrants in 2019 341,180 1. India 85,585 2. China 30,260 3. Philippines 27,815 4. Nigeria 12,595 5. United States of America 10,800 6. Pakistan 10,790 7. Syria 10,120 8. Eritrea 7,025 9. Korea, Republic of 6,110 10. Iran 6,055

45 per cent of newcomers settled in Ontario

Ontario continues to be by far the highest destination for newcomers, welcoming 45 per cent of the nationwide share in 2019. Its share elevated by two percentage points from 2018. This can be defined by the Quebec authorities’s resolution to scale back its immigrant intake by 20 per cent in 2019. Because of this, Quebec fell two spots in 2019 to the fourth main destination of newcomers to Canada. British Columbia moved into second place because it welcomed 50,000 immigrants, with Alberta in third place.

Manitoba enjoyed a really robust immigrant intake because it welcomed practically 19,000 immigrants last yr, a 24 per cent enhance in contrast with its 2018 consumption. Saskatchewan’s immigration ranges have been practically an identical as in 2018, with the province welcoming practically 16,000 newcomers.

Immigration to Atlantic Canada continued to extend, with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick experiencing the biggest positive aspects. Nova Scotia noticed its intake rise by 27 per cent to over 7,500 immigrants whereas New Brunswick enjoyed a 30 per cent gain because it welcomed 6,000 newcomers.

Yukon additionally skilled a wholesome gain as its intake grew by 24 per cent to 400 immigrants.

New Immigrants to Canada: 2017-2019

Year 2017 2018 2019 Total 286,510 321,055 341,180 Ontario 111,955 137,435 153,340 British Columbia 38,445 44,870 50,320 Alberta 42,095 42,025 43,685 Quebec 52,405 51,125 40,545 Manitoba 14,705 15,230 18,905 Saskatchewan 14,680 15,510 15,855 Nova Scotia 4,515 5,965 7,580 New Brunswick 3,650 4,610 6,000 Prince Edward Island 2,350 2,135 2,445 Newfoundland and Labrador 1,170 1,530 1,850 Yukon 225 305 400 Northwest Territories 240 280 195 Nunavut 40 30 40 Province/territory not acknowledged 40 10 15

35 per cent went to the Higher Toronto Area

More than one in three newcomers selected to settle within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The GTA welcomed extra immigrants (118,000 newcomers) than the 4 Atlantic provinces, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Canada’s three territories mixed.

Vancouver was the second main metropolis because it welcomed 40,000 immigrants, followed by Montreal (35,000) and Calgary (almost 20,000).

Canada’s 4 largest cities (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Calgary) collectively welcomed 62 per cent of all newcomers to the nation, down barely from their 64 per cent share in 2018. The decline is because of Quebec’s resolution to cut back its immigration levels as Montreal’s intake fell by practically 10,000 newcomers the last year.

Canada might welcome as much as 360,000 immigrants in 2020

In keeping with its 2019-2021 Immigration Levels Plan, the federal authorities are focusing on a further 341,000 newcomer arrivals in 2020. Since this goal was met the last year, Canada could exceed it once more this year. The truth is, the plan offers Canada the flexibleness to welcome as much as 360,000 newcomers in 2020. We could have extra readability when Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino tables the federal authorities 2020-2022 Immigration Levels Plan within the near future—probably throughout the coming month.

Canada continued its immigration record-setting pace by welcoming 341,000 newcomers in 2019. This is only the fifth time in its history that it has welcomed more than 300,000 immigrants in one year (the other times were 1911-1913 and 2018). Canada also exceeded the target it set in its 2019-2021 Immigration Levels Plan (330,800 immigrants) by more than 10,000 immigrants.

The country also stuck to its plan by welcoming 58 per cent of its newcomers under the economic class, while 27 per cent arrived through family sponsorship, and the remaining 15 per cent were welcomed under the refugee class.

China was a distant second accounting for 9 per cent of newcomers, followed by the Philippines which accounted for 8 per cent of new immigrants. Nigeria, the United States of America, Pakistan, Syria, Eritrea, South Korea and Iran rounded out the top 10 source countries.

45 per cent of newcomers settled in Ontario

Ontario continues to be by far the top destination for newcomers, welcoming 45 per cent of the national share in 2019. Its share increased by two percentage points from 2018. This may be explained by the Quebec government’s decision to reduce its immigrant intake by 20 per cent in 2019. As a result, Quebec fell two spots in 2019 to the fourth leading destination of newcomers to Canada. British Columbia moved into second place as it welcomed 50,000 immigrants, with Alberta in third place.

Manitoba enjoyed a very strong immigrant intake as it welcomed nearly 19,000 immigrants last year, a 24 per cent increase compared with its 2018 intake. Saskatchewan’s immigration levels were nearly identical as in 2018, with the province welcoming nearly 16,000 newcomers.

Immigration to Atlantic Canada continued to increase, with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick experiencing the largest gains. Nova Scotia saw its intake rise by 27 per cent to over 7,500 immigrants while New Brunswick enjoyed a 30 per cent gain as it welcomed 6,000 newcomers.

Yukon also experienced a healthy gain as its intake grew by 24 per cent to 400 immigrants.

New Immigrants to Canada: 2017-2019

35 per cent went to the Greater Toronto Area

More than one in three newcomers chose to settle in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The GTA welcomed more immigrants (118,000 newcomers) than the four Atlantic provinces, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Canada’s three territories combined.

Vancouver was the second leading city as it welcomed 40,000 immigrants, followed by Montreal (35,000) and Calgary (nearly 20,000).

Canada’s four largest cities (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Calgary) together welcomed 62 per cent of all newcomers to the country, down slightly from their 64 per cent share in 2018. The decline is due to Quebec’s decision to reduce its immigration levels as Montreal’s intake fell by nearly 10,000 newcomers last year.

Canada could welcome up to 360,000 immigrants in 2020

According to its 2019-2021 Immigration Levels Plan, the federal government is targeting an additional 341,000 newcomer arrivals in 2020. Since this target was met last year, Canada may exceed it again this year. In fact, the plan gives Canada the flexibility to welcome up to 360,000 newcomers in 2020. We will have more clarity when Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino tables the federal government’s 2020-2022 Immigration Levels Plan in the near future—potentially within the coming month.

Canada Travel Tips

Canada is by size, the largest country in North America, second in the world overall (behind only Russia). So what better way for our clients to spend their reverse mortgages Canada money than travelling all around this great country? So we thought we’d outline some Canada travel tips.

Eminent worldwide for its immense, untouched scene, its mix of societies and multifaceted history, Canada is one of the world’s wealthiest nations and a noteworthy vacationer destination. Canada is land of vast distances and rich natural beauty. Economically and technologically, and in numerous different ways Canada nearly takes after its neighbour toward the south, the United States, although there are significant differences between the two countries.

Tourism in Canada is one of the most prominent industries – for a very good reason, given the natural beauty of the country.

More the latest up to date information on Canada, make sure and check out the official travel Canada website.

Climate:

Trying to distil the climate of Canada into an easy-to-understand statement is impossible, given the vast area and diverse geography within the country. Overall, in most places, winters are harsh compared to much of the world, on par with northern Eurasia. The most populated region, southern Ontario, has a less severe climate, similar to the bordering regions of the midwestern and northeastern United States. Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut, is just south of the Arctic Circle and remains very cold except for the months of July and August, when the July average maximum is only 12°C (54°F). On the other hand, the coastlines of British Columbia are very mild for their latitude, remaining above freezing for most of winter, yet they are not far away from some of the largest mountain glaciers found on the continent. Summers in the most populated parts of Canada are generally short and hot. Summer temperatures over 35°C (95°F) are not unusual in Southern Ontario, the southern Prairies and the southern Interior of B.C.

Canadian Regions:

Atlantic Provinces (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island)

Quebec

Ontario

Prairies (Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan)

British Columbia

The North (Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon)

Language Spoken

English and French are the only two official languages in Canada. All communications and services provided from the federal government are available in both languages. Most Canadians are functionally monolingual, although some parts of the country have both English and French speakers. Over a quarter of Canadians are bilingual or multilingual. Many people in Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec City are at least conversationally bilingual.

English is the dominant language in all provinces except Québec, where French is dominant and actively promoted as the main language. However, there are numerous francophone communities scattered around the country.

Canadian Cuisine

As noted at Canada travel, Canadian cuisine varies from region to region. Some specialties include maple syrup, Nanaimo bars (chocolate-topped no-bake squares with custard or vanilla butter filling and crumb base), butter tarts (tarts made with butter, sugar, and eggs), beaver tails (fried dough topped with icing sugar), fiddleheads (curled heads of young ferns), peameal bacon (a type of back bacon made from lean boneless pork loin, trimmed fine, wet cured, and rolled in cornmeal; eaten at breakfast with eggs or for lunch as a sandwich), and Halifax donairs (sliced beef meatloaf wrapped in pitas and garnished with onions, tomatoes, and a sweet condensed milk sauce).

Drinks

The drinking age in Canada varies from province to province. In Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec the age is 18, while in the rest of the provinces and territories it is 19. A peculiarity of many Canadian provinces is that liquor and beer can only be sold in licensed stores and this usually excludes supermarkets, corner stores, etc. In Ontario alcoholic beverages can only be sold in licensed restaurants and bars and “Liquor Control Board” (LCBO) stores that are run by the Province; although you can also buy wine in some supermarkets in a special area called the “Wine Rack”.Canadians are known for their love of beer, although wine and hard alcohol or spirits are also popular.

Like neighboring United States, some places in Canada are dry communities. Similarly, just like in the dry counties in the U.S., means that the sale of alcohol is either prohibited or restricted.

Hotels & Motels

Accommodations in Canada vary substantially in price depending on time and place. In most cities and many tourist areas, expect to pay upwards of $100 or more for a good hotel room. If inquiring always ask if taxes are included, because some offer it with taxes included, some not.

Hotels play an integral part of Canadian history, with some of the country’s most well known landmarks being hotels.

In rural areas, motels (short for “motor hotel”) are small, simple hotels where you might pay as little as $40-60 for a night’s accommodation (especially in the off season.) In many areas, a B&B (bed and breakfast) is a nice option. These are normally people’s homes with suites for guests. The price – anywhere from $45 a night to $140 a night – usually includes a breakfast of some kind in the morning.

Travelling

Wikitravel has the best guide to travelling across Canada – here is a quick summary:

By Car: Canada has a land border with only one country – the United States. See the “from the United States” subsection for more information on what to do when leaving the US.

You might also enter the country by road from the United States through one of many border crossing points. Obviously, the same rules will apply here, but if your case is not straightforward, expect to be delayed, as the officials here (especially in more rural areas) see fewer non-U.S. travelers than at the airports. Also expect delays during holiday periods, as border crossings can become clogged with traffic.

By Bus: Greyhound Canada serves many destinations in Canada, with connecting service to regional lines and U.S. Greyhound coaches. Be sure to inquire about discounts and travel packages that allow for frequent stops as you travel across Canada. Many routes connect major Canadian and American cities including Montreal – New York City and other big cities of Canada.

By Train: Travelling Via Rail is Canada’s national passenger rail service. Amtrak provides connecting rail service to Toronto from New York via Niagara Falls, Montreal from New York and Vancouver from Seattle via Bellingham. The train is an inexpensive way to get into Canada, with tickets starting from as low as US$43 return to Vancouver. There is also thruway service between Seattle and Vancouver.

My first artwork of 2013 on this blog! 🙆🏽

Since I first began drawing, I’ve always loved the idea of printing my characters onto different kinds of merchandise, like T-shirts, tote bags, pencil cases and even mouse mats. (I once accomplished this in primary school, where I had a painting of mine printed onto a mouse mat, and it was used with my own computer for many years! I still have it somewhere around today.)

Although I mostly create characters for various purposes, notably for writing stories or drawing with, I had never before created them solely for selling merchandise. This gave me an idea – channel my undying love of Canada into creating a design range featuring the best of Canadian geography and culture. Not Canadian Boys or even Project Canada, but something a little different.

Taking a bit of The Provinces & Territories Show and Project Canada, I mixed the two together to make Canada Cool. So-named because of the dark sunglasses all the province and territory characters wear, which is the stereotypical ‘cool’ image seen in many a movie or poster, as well as packing alliterative appeal and a small jab at the famously bitterly-cold Canadian winters, the plan was to create merchandise featuring each one or more of the characters and a few things from their home province/territory. Due to a shortage of funds, however, I never did get around to actually printing and producing the merchandise, but I did draw a few artworks for the range.

And even though the characters were designed specifically for the purposes of being merchandised, they do have their own bios, each of which reflects their home province/territory’s distinctive culture and geography:

British Columbia

A coffee, marijuana and surfing addict. He uses his home as a giant greenhouse for growing his own ‘grass’ and smoking it. His favourite food is Pacific salmon, and he can never start the day without grabbing a cup of coffee from Starbucks or Second Cup (he thinks Tim Horton’s is too ‘mainstream’, at least in Canada). He loves to spend his summers surfing at the beaches on Vancouver Island, and his winters skiing and snowboarding in Whistler.

Alberta

A mechanic. He uses a lot of oil for his job, with the result that he has it splashed all over him, so he wears gumboots and carries a cloth rag with him. He makes a lot of money due to playing a small part in the oil industry. When he isn’t fixing cars, he loves to watch rodeos at the Calgary Stampede, sometimes riding on the cattle himself.

Saskatchewan

A wheat farmer. He spends hot sunny days out in the vast fields slicing away at wheatstalks with his scythe, tanning himself as brown as a berry. He always appears to be chewing on a stalk of wheat. While normally hidden from view, he has a scar on his stomach from when he tripped up onto the blade of his scythe, causing him to require stitches and hospitalization.

Manitoba

A shoveller. Every winter, he keeps drivers safe by digging away excess snow, and sometimes amuses himself by building snow sculptures with it. He also likes to enjoy the outdoors by hunting, fishing, or going to see polar bears and the Northern Lights in Churchill.

Ontario

The brash and obnoxious Ontario is a huge hockey fan. Having a decal of the CN Tower printed on his shirt, he loves to profess his ‘excellence’ at playing hockey, but he is in fact pretty poor at it. This doesn’t stop him bragging, however.

Quebec

A French-Canadian cook. He specializes in baking things such as cupcakes and cookies, but he also loves to make and eat his favourite dish, the quintessially Quebecois poutine of French fries, gravy and cheese. Though he is bilingual in both English and French, he prefers French more, even declaring it to be his only recognized language. He has a bit of a rebellious side to him for this reason, wishing for independence in defiance of the others who want him to remain Canadian.

New Brunswick

A sailor. As well as sailing the high – and low – seas, he has a part-time job as a lumberjack, chopping down trees in the forests with his axe ad hammer. His left arm is decorated with nautically-inspired tattoos, most notably an anchor and sea waves. For very special occassions, he likes to eat fiddleheads.

Nova Scotia

A fiddler and bagpiper. He brings music to the table and party with his sweet melodies, but he actually has quite a sharp tongue, and can easily become provoked if someone or something rubs him up the wrong way. His speech is marked with a strong Cape Beton twang, despite being ‘born’ in Halifax, from whose infamous explosion in 1917 he received his scars and burns. He is a huge fan of seafood, especially lobster and scallops.

Newfoundland & Labrador

A fisherman. Sailing out to sea daily to catch fresh fish, he is sometimes seen with a codfish in his hand. Many people have difficulty understanding him because of his very strong regional accent, leading to him being the butt of many bad jokes and stories.

Prince Edward Island

A potato farmer. He has a small connection to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, having the former’s Scottish heritage and the latter’s love of the sea. In addition to growing potatoes in the red-tinged fields, he sometimes goes catching oysters. He loves Anne of Green Gables, and his seaside cottage is inspired by her house.

Yukon Territory

A gold miner. He pans in rivers and digs underground with his pickaxe, very occasionally striking it rich. He goes places with his husky dogs, during which he may catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. He often simply gets called “Yukon”.

Northwest Territories

A hunter. He carries a small moose model around with him, possibly to signify his hunting abilities, along with a sharp spear, which he hunts and fishes with. He wears snowshoes over his boots to help him navigate tough areas which are steeped in snow.

Nunavut

Another hunter, much like Northwest Territories. Also carrying a sharp spear, he can stab a target over half a mile away, and can swipe up a fish from below the ice in a matter of a split second. He uses a combination of huskies, snowshoes and his snowmobile to get around.

Following on is a a gallery of addtional artworks I drew for the design range, including a few designs for some city characters, who are a sort of spin-off from the province and territory characters, and who all also wear dark sunglasses:

Canada Cool: The Provinces (2013) My first artwork of 2013 on this blog! 🙆🏽 Since I first began drawing, I've always loved the idea of printing my characters onto different kinds of merchandise, like T-shirts, tote bags, pencil cases and even mouse mats.

Homemade Pickled Ginger

Ginger has broad-spectrum antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-parasitic properties, to name just several of its more than 40 pharmacological actions. Ginger shows promise for fighting cancer, diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, asthma, bacterial and fungal infections, and more. If you choose a store bought/packaged pickled form, make sure that it doesn't contain chemicals and additives. Here is a simple recipe to make your own pickled ginger without the added chemicals and additives which will negate or fight against the many wonderful benefits of Ginger.

3pound fresh ginger rootchoose firm ginger

1tbsp sea salt2 tspn/quart

4tbsp whey

Peel ginger and slice very thinly. Slice the ginger as thin as you can. I like using a mandolin.

Place in a large bowl and pound lightly with a wooden pounder to release juices.

Place in a quart-sized, wide-mouth mason jar and press down lightly with the pounder.

Mix clean pure water with salt and whey and pour into jar, adding more water if necessary to cover ginger. The top of the ginger should be at least 1 inch below the top of the jar.

Cover tightly and keep at room temperature for about 3 days before transferring to cold storage.

Essiac Tea

Essiac tea detoxifies the body, attacks cancer cells, and ramps up the immune system with powerful antioxidants.

For general health, drink ½ ounce of tea in two ounces of water once daily. Rene Caisse suggested it be taken at bedtime on an empty stomach. To fight disease, gradually increase consumption of Essiac tea to 1 ounce of tea in 2 ounces of water once daily. The tea can be consumed cold or hot and more water can be added for a milder flavor. Nurse Caisse cautioned against drinking more in hopes of better or faster results and to increase water consumption.

Canadian nurse, Rene Caisse, treated her patients with an inexpensive, natural tea for fifty years – free of charge − and had the support of many renowned scientists, respected doctors, and cancer survivors until her death in 1978. A mixture originally used by the Canadian Ojibwa tribe, this “tea of life” was recreated by Nurse Caisse and administered to her patients starting in the 1920s. Patients who were told there was no hope by their doctors were able to beat their cancer. Despite attacks to her reputation, legal trouble for her treating patients without a license, and being dragged into court countless times, Nurse Caisse never stopped helping her patients. The fact she wasn’t charging for her tea is probably the only thing that kept her out of jail. In 1938, she received more than 55,000 signatures on a petition to allow her to continue giving her tea to patients who were told nothing could be done to treat their disease.

I purchase a special blend Essiac Tea Blend from Essiac West. The herbs are certified organic or ethically wildcrafted and US-grown. It includes Burdock seed, Sheep sorrel seed.
