Sheesh, all you whiny babies. How about you check the Amazon price before you have self induced heart attacks about capitalism?
Spoiler for those too lazy: $37 and that’s JUST for the smart water.
I come from a Lebanese family and I absolutely love our rose flavored desserts! I've loved them so much that I try to incorporate it into some of my favorite American foods. I like making this simple syrup: http://foodtasia.com/atar-rose-water-syrup-qater/ You can drizzle it on pancakes, baklava, and use it as a finish for many desserts (you could easily use it as a glaze on top of your tart). This recipe might help you: https://www.afairerhouse.com/kitchen/2017/10/20/apple-rosewater-tart Just for fun, this is my favorite cake ever using rose water, I just made it this weekend: https://www.teaforturmeric.com/2016/12/lebanese-banana-cake-yogurt-rose-water/ We also have these fantastic sweets called malban that usually incorporate rose water into them, I found this description online: http://www.tasteofbeirut.com/lebanese-candies-malban/ You'll often see the pistachio-rose combination being used often in our culture. Out of the three you mention, we usually only use the rose water for baking purposes. As for rose syrup, we use that in a drink! We pour a couple tablespoons of rose syrup with some cold water and ice and drink that to cool off on a summer day. Hope this helps! An apple rose tart sounds delicious and would definitely be a great combo!
EDIT: I should also mention, my favorite rose water brand to use is Cortas! https://www.amazon.com/Cortas-Rose-Water-1-Count/dp/B00V8TRZG4
$37 for the smart water on amazon.
$19.99 for the evian.
The guy is actually being a hydrohomie.
I used to looooove soda, and it was getting unhealthy, much similar to your situation. I weaned myself off by going to the zero options of sodas (sprite zero, cherry coke zero, etc) and then i moved to sparking flavored waters like Ice carbonated water .. it gives you the feeling of soda without the negative after effects, [Heres the Sparkling Ice I am Talking About] (http://www.amazon.com/Sparkling-ICE-Variety-Pack-17oz/dp/B00F9VCQ2A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451314737&sr=8-1&keywords=sparkling+ice+water)

Waton on Amazon has to be the most depressing thing I've seen this week.
There is liquid death https://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Death-Mountain-Tallboys-12-Pack/dp/B07G3G3F53/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?adgrpid=72789415348&gclid=CjwKCAjwqNnqBRATEiwAkHm2BKuhD84tbnDZ70mrt4RfaDp1tBdfI_CWqHlqTATcWIMVnvafAT2MbRoCTlgQAvD_BwE&hvadid=321629782724&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9028085&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=2872615169250954330&hvtargid=aud-647006051489%3Akwd-617592803896&hydadcr=16085_9601637&keywords=liquid+death&qid=1565980661&s=gateway&sr=8-3
Happy, heavy water is non-toxic, so you actually can drink that.
Unfortunately, it's also rather expensive; 1 liter costs $1,165. Since bottled spring water costs around $1.08 per liter, heavy water is about 107,870.37% percent more expensive than Evian. Totally worth it for non-floating ice cubes.
Well on Amazon it's 32 dollars so that's hardly "gouging". Fiji is one of the most expensive bottled waters there is.
> Oi? Água na farmácia?
Deve ser aquela água que tem mais oxigénio para oxigenar o corpo, acho que se chama água oxigenada /s (se bem que não me admiraria se vendessem daquelas águas estupidamente caras nas farmácias (estilo água fiji) ou águas com certas composições específicas para pessoas que possam ter alguns problemas de saúde)
No self respecting major retailer would shell out 35 dollars for 24 bottles of water. Don't be daft.
>Spending $2+ everyday is cheaper than buying a filter?
$2? Try more like a tenth that, without even shopping around much. http://www.amazon.com/Pure-Life-Purified-16-9-ounce-plastic/dp/B00NP79AI8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1451002849&sr=1-2&keywords=bottled+water .
And yes, filtering can get QUITE expensive, especially amortized over only a year or two. Can it be cheap? Sure. But with that comes a lot less convenience. And people trade price for convenience all the time; for instance, do you bake your own bread? It's way cheaper to bake your own than to buy.
It's $14 bucks for a 24 pack on Amazon. I don't know why people think it's expensive.

LaCroix and Klarbrunn sparkling waters are great alternatives to soda. On a hot day they can even be a gluten-free substitute for a cold beer. :)
Crest Whitening Strips
Apply it 1x or 2x a week to make it last longer instead of using it everyday, which could irritate your teeth and gums. The last time I used whitening strips was about 7 years ago. I drink coffee and soda almost everyday. As long as you maintain your dental hygiene, you'll keep the whiteness a lot longer.
Philips Sonicare toothbrush (or any other electric toothbrush)
Use at least twice a day. This will keep your teeth super clean, hence, whiter. I cannot go back to manual toothbrushes. It's amazing what a difference it does in cleaning your teeth. Do not skimp on your toothbrush if you want whiter teeth.
Sensodyne Toothpaste
Get sensitive toothpaste because whitening strips will make your teeth super sensitive. You don't have to get a whitening toothpaste. Those just use more abrasive ingredients, which doesn't necessarily make teeth noticeably whiter.
Water and Gum
Always try to rinse water after every sip of a drink and bite of food. If water isn't available, drink your beverages through a straw and/or chew a sugar-free gum. It doesn't need to be whitening gum - plus gum is just good to have around because many people don't realize they have unpleasant breath.
Floss
Every night. I did this for 6 months straight (I normally flossed infrequently — like once or twice a week) and had a perfect dental checkup after flossing everyday. The dental hygienist didn't even need to scrap off any plaque. This also helps make the sides/gaps between teeth whiter.
Listerine Mouthwash
Use weekly or as needed. I doesn't have to be whitening mouthwash. Do not use it everyday because it will create an imbalance of good bacteria and saliva which is essential for a healthy mouth.
Oh, and get a tan :)

If you just want the black color, you might want to look at blk water. It just has black coloring and is supposed to be tasteless.
blk Spring Water Infused with Fulvic Acid, 16.9 Ounce Bottles (Pack of 24) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00507A02Q/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_wKJxub1JP8H7D
> Não é $99 por água, é $99 por CASE of water.
Só para que fique claro: continua sendo absurdo porque essa case of water custa $13.
> O comerciante dá o preço e o cliente decide se concorda ou não, o comerciante verá que exagerou e começa a reduzir os preços.
Você só se refere ao livre mercado quando aumentam o preço, mas não se refere ao mesmo termo quando aparecem outros comerciantes vendendo a preço mais barato para competir com o cara dos $99
Que outros comerciantes??? Não tem outros comerciantes, amigão! A cidade está isolada e inundada! O cara está cobrando $99 precisamente porque não tem concorrência! Eu não me refiro aqui a outros comerciantes porque eles não existem!
Como eu falei, é pagar $99 ou morrer de sede. Repito a pergunta: você não acha isso imoral?
I'm not saying it's cheap but it says $19.99 on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004CQWWKY/?th=1&psc=1
People are saying tea, but the red you'll get from that is likely not going to match a Spanish red if it has no caffeine.
I'd say start with a hibiscus tea and darken it with this:

This water is great for this effect.
Coffee drinkers: Has anyone used a product like Third Wave Water to manage the minerals in the water? I was hoping to try an individual serving before I buy a lot of it.
Addendum: I am not suggesting the water here is bad (quite the contrary). If you look at the product information, you'll see that it adds minerals to water like the coffee shops do, and this enhances the flavors in the coffee. It's just a bougie white lady thing, not essential.
You could probably put in a brand new in-ground pool for that price.
EDIT: Let's say the pool holds around 5,000 gallons, a pretty conservative number for a DIY above ground pool. Each bottle of water of, let's go with Fiji, is going to cost around $1.33 per 16.9 oz. bottle. There are 640,000 fl. oz. in 5,000 Gallons. Therefore, you would need 37870 bottles to fill up the pool. At $1.33 per bottle this is $50,367.10. According to this website, most in ground pools will run you from $25,000-$50,000, so you could buy a high-end pool with the amount of money it would take to fill that dingy pool with Fiji.

It’s tastes really good and better for the environment than plastic.
It’s a little more expensive than smart water, but this helps you murder.... link
IDK... I can buy a 12-pack of Nestle bottled water on Amazon Prime for $2.07 right now.
I don't think Amazon is setting up radius circles of 200 miles to ship the water around. I think they just take your money and ship that shit from wherever.
You can buy it on Amazon. Only $50 a case.
You can get it through Amazon (the one I have is Cortas); just make sure you get one for cooking purposes, not beauty!
No it's not.
At the bottom of the article, they said Amazon contacted them and would be removing those listings. So I searched for "water" and literally the first item was a case of water for $28 and people complaining in the review section. Liars.

Woke up at 5am, then had two cups of coffee. Now I start to get tired. Guess I should start making it with Water Joe
Also wondering how many of these conditions I would have had if I were alive then.
It won't boost your energy, but water is generally a good bet.
If you want electrolytes due to excessive sweating, Propel Water has a dye-free, sweetener-free option that is just the added minerals to water. This one: https://www.amazon.com/Propel-Electrolyte-Gatorade-electrolytes-Unflavored/dp/B0176QGAYU
Coconut water has electrolytes and also calories from sugar.
Do you have a specific health problem with low stamina/energy?
Quick easy fix is getting distilled water, and add minerals to it... I personally just use a basic (Pür) water filter because it's convenient and simple.

I bought most of mine from Awesome Drinks TomR I got off Amazon.

Hey so I was in a similar situation as you. Basically I realized that soda is horrible for you and you should rarely drink it. Anyway...
An AMAZING alternative, as in, I drink 3-4 of these a day, is La Croix flavored sparkling water:
http://www.amazon.com/LaCroix-Lime-Water-12-Ounce-Cans/dp/B003WEC72A
You know at the grocery store they have all of these "flavored waters"? Yeah, well those all have some sort of sweetener (sugar, aspartame, splenda, etc). La Croix is just sparkling water and real fruit flavoring so there is just a touch of, say, lime.
I found this to be a really good alternative because I always drank soda because it was sweet and sparkling. La Croix tastes sweet and is sparkling, so it's perfect.
Hopefully this helps.

To be safe, buying a new bottle regularly seems like the best course of action. Fortunately the cooking rose water is very, very cheap ($5-8 for 10oz): https://www.amazon.com/Cortas-Rose-Water-Product-Lebanon/dp/B00V8TRZG4/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1474137424&sr=8-1&keywords=cortas+rose+water
Coconut water would work too, but I was more talking about water that has electrolytes added. Some specific examples, you can probably find at least one of these in your typical grocery store.
Yes. https://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Death-Mountain-Tallboys-12-Pack/dp/B07G3G3F53/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=liquid+death&qid=1558247315&s=gateway&sr=8-1
Going by the Amazon Page, that IS meant to be a selling point. And whoever's running their PR is putting their all into it (check the Q&A section).
La Croix Lime water is some delicious stuff. No sugar, but it's not diet either. A little bitter, and very bubbly. Its great stuff! Here it is on Amazon, however it's probably cheaper at your local grocery store.
And one more Amazon link haha. This one I haven't seen locally. It's crystallized Lemon/Lime. Shelf stable--you just shake out however much you want. 1 teaspoon is equal to 2 tablespoons juice.
This stuff really is quite cool. The taste is nearly identical to real fresh squeezed juice. A teaspoon in my nalgene bottle makes the my tapwater delicious and covers the taste of chlorine.

These are great and no calories...
I didn't put it in the previous. But what I was thinking of in tonic was this (Tomr's Tonic Syrup). It's a concentrate, so he or she could adjust the strength to the desired level. I know exactly what you're referring to with things like Schweppes.
Not the ones I've seen.
If you don't know what you're talking about, you probably shouldn't comment just to shoe-horn in a piece of information to feel superior.

I see no reason to do so. I feel like a lot of the outrage stems from jealousy of how a company can make money off selling water and taxing it on that basis is silly.
Bottled Water Extraction:
Either way, individual industries should not be taxed arbitrarily just because they operate profitable industries.
Also other general critisisms.
>They go on to sell each bottle of water at prices that range from $.50 a bottle to upwards of $9 a bottle at entertainment venues such as concerts and sporting events.
Im pretty sure nestle doesn't sell those bottles for 9$. The author seems to be implying that insane sport stadium markups are nestles fault and nestly somehow profits from this.
>Hypothetically speaking, if Nestle sells each bottle of water for say, $2.00, they turn an immediate revenue of $3,381,400 before production expenses, just off packaging a million litres of water
First this fails to make clear that revenue doesnt equal profit. Second Nestle doesn't sell a bottle of water for nearly 2$, The corner store might, but not nestle itself. Its like the author doesnt understand the supply chain.
FWIW according to Amazon Nestle would sell each bottle for at maximum 84 cents.
>permits alone that allow them to drill a staggering 12 million litres of water every day.
12 million litres sounds big, but in the grand scheme of water flow its really freaking small. Furthermore, author assumes that the maximum water draw allowed by the permits is the actual water draw, plants could be drawing a fraction of this.
>According to 2015 water rate statistics provided by the City of Toronto, the average Ontario water consumer pays about $3624/million litres of water consumed, as opposed to the $3.71 paid by Nestle, almost a 1000X markup for Ontario citizens.
Author conflates raw well water with treated, processed, piped city water. Turns out Torontonians can go down to the lake and run a pipe from it too for free(ish)

I enjoy Hi*Ball Energy Sparkling Energy Water for my carbonation fix.
I can buy a 24 pack of 16oz water bottles at a retail store for $4 on sale.
http://www.amazon.com/Arrowhead-Spring-Water-Count-16-9/dp/B000R5NRPI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408294151&sr=8-1&keywords=water
4000/24 = (approximately) 167 packs
167*4= $668 spent (maybe. I'm sure you can get them much cheaper buying bulk directly from the manufacturer)
The worst part is that those bottles are so tiny that they won't even be good for storage.
Have you ever heard of [Hi Balls?] (http://www.amazon.com/Hiball-Energy-Sparkling-Water-Variety/dp/B00CE4CRG0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1396567799&sr=8-2&keywords=hiball+energy+drinks)
They are really delicious [I'm partial to the grapefruit myself] and have no calories. It's basically flavored caffeinated sparkling water. Some of them do have some sugar, but look a the label. I also feel like it is the most even caffeine. Coffee makes me jittery. I have it & then feel like I've got the shakes afterwards too. This is a good boost.
Tired of clear water?

>f you dont think water won't sell at $3/gal, you're dreaming.
It's already selling for over twice that a gallon.
(assuming my math is right)
24 16.9oz bottles = 405.6oz
405.5/128 = 3.168 Gallons
3.16 * $7 = $22.18

Like some of the comments have stated, RO water straight out of a unit like this will leech some of the flavors from the coffee upon contact. There's a few ways to get around this. Personally, I use a ZeroWater filter to get the TDS as low as possible (RO wasn't an option in the apartments I have lived in), and then I remineralize the water after I collect it. There's a few ways to do this, but personally (and apparently very unpopularly in this sub) I use the product Third Wave Water. For me, it's just the most convenient thing to do, but you can check their ratio of minerals and buy in bulk for cheaper.

I start every day with an energy drink. But I drink Hiball which is totally bullshit-free, lol.
Every day I drank a lot of water and always had a cup or a bottle handy. I also drank those zero-calorie sparkling iced waters like this when I needed some carbonation and flavor to mix things up.

As someone who's tuned into deal sites: Yes, to some degree. But there's still plenty of good deals to be had. Especially when things don't go as planned. Don't you remember last year's Xbox One debacle? We're talking a free xbox one, and possibly additional credit, on top of extra controllers and games.
I also apparently got 24 bottles of VOSS Norwegian water this year for $3, and that stuff is supposed fancy or something. Ordered that for giggles.
Someone else got a Mini Segway for $160 iirc.
I nabbed one of their Big & Tall (up to 350lb) Office Chairs for $100, which isn't bad.
As for Prime Pantry? For some reason I keep getting a Fresh Credit of $6, no idea why, and that stacks with the $10 off $60 credit, so I can find some choice pantry items that are decently priced and get $16 off, and stack it with free shipping. And that's on top of the 5% off with my Amazon Store Card. I did four full orders, and my mail person hates me now.
Prime Day is not Black Friday. Black Friday is a day of both Purchases of Opportunity and Planned Purchases, due to general price cuts on everything (To some degree... Cyber Monday and beyond is where it's at currently at based off last year). Prime Day is only Purchases of Opportunity, as the thing you've wanted probably won't go on sale, but chances are if you check the deal sites enough you'll find things that you'll buy anyway because they're cheap enough.
Sidenote: This is what you guys should being paying attention to: Lowe's 10% off, which stacks with 10% Self-generated coupon codes (see top comment), which stacks with 7.5% cashback through ebates.
I mostly wing it, lol. The rose waterrose water is food grade, and I like adding about 1/3 volume distilled water or it seems a little overwhelming- not stinging, just the scent and flavor. The vegetable glycerin is also food grade, I basically mix up the rose water/distilled water and add small dollops of glycerin which I shake and test until I like the feel.
All ingredients are inexpensive enough that I don’t worry about wasting it. The key difference between my homemade version vs the one I see commercially is that there are no essential oils added, it tends to irritate my EXTREMELY sensitive skin.
In addition, I find it to be less drying than HA if left alone on my skin. With HA, I must immediately add an occlusive (squalane for me, it’s the only thing that doesn’t trigger milia on my fussy face). I also like using my homemade mist as a body spray, sometimes alone, sometimes with squalane or argan oil over it.
Caveat - I do not wear any makeup, so not sure how well it would play with foundation etc. I do use sunscreen, either Anessa Mild Milk or Canmake Mermaid UV and both work fine, no weird pilling etc.
ETA- fwiw, I am 53f
I use Third Wave Water packets and add them to distilled water. It's a good way to get consistency, and I like the flavor of what I make vs using my tap water.

You can also make you own water solutions. Search for Matt Perger.
Hummus and pita are always good, though ANY dip has the potential for messy disaster in the bag or on the books. Granola or protein bars, veggies, packs of turkey lunch meat and pita, cheeses. If you get a small plastic container it might mitigate some of the squish factor in a full bag. For drinks you might look into powdered mixes in individual serving straws and a quality water bottle. As has been mentioned: if you really need that fizz in your drink you can either get sparkling water like LaCroix or at least in the States here there are fizz tabs that will lightly carbonate and flavor a water bottle.
I just did a google and wal-mart is selling a 24 pack of 16oz dasani for 43$

edit: apparently amazon is selling the same thing for 22$ https://www.amazon.com/DASANI-water-16-9-24-Count/dp/B000T9SZOU
staples has 500ml bottles for 16$ https://www.staples.com/Dasani-Water-500mL-Bottles-24-pack/product_219201
oh wow, sams club has 24 aquafinas for 4$ https://www.samsclub.com/sams/aquafina-purified-drinking-water-32-16-9-oz/162545.ip?xid=pdp_carousel_people-who-viewed-this-item-also-viewed_2
target says "see store for price". I wonder what that means? https://www.target.com/p/dasani-purified-water-16-9-oz-24-ct/-/A-14978383#lnk=sametab
Coloring water black and sticking it in a new bottle makes it more expensive. look at this shit
15 dollars worth of cheap water bottles. So that's like 96 of these babies. https://www.amazon.com/Nestle-Pure-Life-Purified-Water/dp/B00COR1HHW
Oh yeah I have never seen it in person but I've seen it posted on here and other places online. Supposedly it has some sort of mineral or some shit that makes it "more healthy" or some bullshit. I would probably try it just for kicks some time if it were available
and not so expensive. I actually just pulled it up Amazon its called blk and has Fulvic Acid which makes it black. Its 45 bucks for a 24 pack so really not that expensive I guess compared to any other bottled water. The description is>"Our proprietary blend of fulvic acid (a derivative of plant matter) is mined from an 80 million year old source deep within the earth. Naturally black in color, the formula binds to the molecules of our pure Canadian spring water giving blk its signature black color, with no artificial dyes, coloring, or additives. Fulvic acid is critical in the growth of plant life, helping the transportation and absorption of nutrients. Fulvic acid's small molecular structure allows for the fast absorption of over 77 different trace minerals and elements, powerful electrolytes, and antioxidants. "
It sounds like a bunch of buzzwords and doesn't really have any benefits besides looking cool but I understand with a product like bottled water the need to differentiate is vital especially since its pretty hard to stand out from the crowd with something people can get essentially for free from the tap.
Amazon has a case of 24 (1/2 liter) for $30

No, this cheap ($28.49/24 bottles = $1.20 per bottle)
Can't believe no one has mentioned ICE Sparkling Water yet! Literally got me off soda, it uses artifical sweetener but no calories/sugar.
Super cheap as well, pack of 12 for $9.

I got off the soda drinking carbonated water. Both versions with slight flavoring and no flavor.

I now primarily drink water and plain brewed tea. Occasionally plain coffee and juice at breakfast. I have been trying to introduce 6 oz of 100% blueberry juice in the mornings but I forget a lot.
Supposed to be one of the purist waters for purchase globally.

I've been buying that Third Wave mineral packets that you mix in a gal of distilled water at home. I'm convinced!

Edit 2: typo
There are some very affordable burr grinders out there, and it's worth the investment. You'll use it pretty much everyday. Hand grinders can be very cheap, and work great. Hario Skerton is a popular choice (I've seen it around for cheaper, but this is at least what's on amazon). Plenty of options, all varying in price. There's a pretty decent burr grinder from Kona I've used before, which I got for like $20.
But manual grinding can take some time. And if you're like me, and you want some quick coffee in the morning, then it's worth investing in an electric. There are some pretty decent electric burr grinders out there. You really don't have to pay a fortune. Here are a few cheap options:
Capresso Infinity
Bodum Bistro
Baratza Encore
But you can get far snobbier than just grind...
What kind of water are you using? Hopefully filtered, not tap. And definitely not distilled, since you want some of those minerals for flavor. Now, if you want to get even fancier, try using these mineral packets. I think each packet mixes in with 1 gallon of distilled water. I haven't tried it myself (I just use a brita) but I've heard good things. The quality of water makes a huge difference. This was the first "eureka" moment for me, when I moved from tap to filtered.
Next, how are you making your coffee? There are some great, cheap equipment out there. In this sub, here are some pretty cheap and popular choices:
Aeropress
Chemex
Pour-over
French press
We're getting pretty deep in the rabbit hole, right? Not yet! How about measuring the weight of the coffee? Consistency is important. You need the same, proper coffee-to-water ratio for the best cup. You can find people debating over the best scales, some costing hundreds. I'd just get a cheap one if I were you. You can find some decent cheap ones from like $10 to $30. If you want the best bang for your buck, look into American Weigh Scales.
I guess I can mention temperature of water as well. You can get thermometers or even electric kettles with built-in thermometers (like this). I think temperature matters so much more for tea than coffee, but it's something you need to keep in mind for coffee as well.
Here's probably the most important thing, in my opinion: where are you getting your coffee? What is the roast date? Unless you're buying your coffee directly from the roaster, you're probably not buying freshly roasted beans. It makes a world of difference. Try finding a local roaster and getting your beans from them, freshly roasted.
I'm sure there's plenty of other ways you can splurge money on coffee, but I'll let you figure it out!

Check out the hilarious reviews on amazon for this swill. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/cr/B00507A02Q/ref=aw_d_cr_grocery?qid=1345910476&sr=8-1
Just an FYI, if you have amazon prime, you can order water from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Arrowhead-Spring-Water-Count-16-9/dp/B000R5NRPI/ref=sr_1_1?srs=7301146011&ie=UTF8&qid=1407098302&sr=8-1
I am offering a pack of water to a pack of water comparison. I am also offering home depot pricing to home depot pricing. Sorry you couldn't see that.
Unless of course you can provide objective evidence that Dasani water is vastly different than Niagara water and deserves the greater price since it truly is a apples to oranges comparison.
It has been my experience and yours may be different but essentially all bottled water is the same.
Edit: But hey Amazon has Dasani available by the 24 pack. Pricing is also different than what is pictured.

I am going to call BS on this. When any store sells a bottle of water for 1.78 they did not buy it marked for individual sale. They buy by the case and that case costs them like $10. There is a huge markup on beverages like this. They could sell these for case prices instead of as though they were individual bottles. For reference Amazon sells this case for $22. So this is literally double that cost.
