More often than not, you will see one small island state leading the way on all things related to futurism and technocracy. As a self-described ‘smart nation,’ Singapore proudly takes the lead on any new developments in surveillance technology, like facial recognition, and it’s normally sold as something which will ‘improve lives, economic opportunity and build communities.’ So it’s a natural fit to play the role of beta testing ground for the new global bio-surveillance regime now being forced through under the guise of the current ‘pandemic.’
Thus far, we’ve seen a breathtaking leap forward in terms of tracking and social engineering applications related to COVID-19, including new mobile apps which assign green/yellow/red traffic light-style quarantine status levels to people, and governments using mobile phone signal triangulation and geofencing in order to track citizens and enforce isolation quarantines. There’s also disturbing Big Brother apps like FluPhone. We’ve also seen government sucking up data and using mobile alerts to inform people of anyone who has tested positive for COVID within 100 meters of their location. The levels of penetration into one’s life and personal medical health – are unprecedented.
None of this is theoretical any more – it’s what has already been deployed, albeit to varying degrees and in certain regions, in countries like China, South Korea and Singapore. When the COVID crisis first hit, it came as no surprise to see Singapore impose one of the strictest lockdowns and travel restrictions on the planet, and enforced the use of masks. But universal adoption has been hampered in part by generational attitudes and access to technology. The government in Singapore has launched a new device designed to close that gap. In its bid to supposedly ‘help curb the spread’ of COVID, the government launched its new wearable COVID tracking tag, which is being called a “token.” Under its friendly-sounding brand, TraceTogether, the device uses Bluetooth technology to ping other people nearby using the app – giving the government a running database for tracking potential coronavirus ‘cases.’ NOTE: Readers should be aware that of all the large global corporate mainstream media outlets, Bloomberg News is producing the most amount of ‘pandemic’ propaganda – on a near hourly basis. Follow their Twitter feed to monitor their aggressive promotion of all things COVID; masks, lockdowns and ‘New Normal’ policies.
"It kind of looks like the Apple AirPods case." Singapore is rolling out Bluetooth #Covid19 contact-tracing tokens to its residents. @mkcheok went and got hers. More @business: https://t.co/fJbDqiyb5j pic.twitter.com/U9Az1hUCXP — Bloomberg Quicktake (@Quicktake) September 22, 2020
The new personal track and trace tag is supposed to be ‘voluntary’ but it portends the shape of things to come; by complementing the government’s existing mobile phone app which has achieved nearly 75% adoption among the population, the new Bluetooth tag will help the state to arrive at its goal of tracking 100% of the population.
The initial models are fairly plain, but the government plans to launch a trendier version with new colours to try and make this surveillance device more fashionable.
Since day one, COVID policies in Singapore were among the most obsessive in the world, with state officials seemingly believing they could achieve near “Zero COVID” by constantly tweaking their lockdown strategies, and re-calibrating “exit strategies.” Six months on, there seems to be no sign of pulling back, as the “New Normal” culture has taken on the characteristics of a new state religion in Singapore.
Lipservice to Privacy Concerns
In this age of global media, authoritarian governments and technocrats are getting hip to the need to portray new authoritarian applications as having a ‘democratic’ feel, and something which is only for the collective good, hence the program’s name, “Trace Together.” Any concerns about data protection are usually allayed with platitudes from authorities claiming that the new surveillance technology is there to ‘help vulnerable groups to feel safer.’
Still, in many countries aggressive government COVID contact-tracing programs have triggered public concerns about privacy and surveillance.
In a recent interview with Bloomberg News, Janil Puthucheary, Minister-in-Charge of GovTech Singapore, voiced the new ‘token’ will not track user location and the data collected on each device will be deleted after 25 days. The adoption will also be voluntary.
However, the government gave a totally different answer to the BBC, which reported that the Bluetooth ‘token’ device “helps elderly people keep a precise record of their whereabouts.”
So which is it? It should be pretty clear by now that when governments make claims giving lipservice to fundamental issues like privacy and civil liberties – they are simply telling the press and people what is politically expedient for that moment in time. In general, technocrats believe that concepts like personal privacy and rights are relative to the juggernaut of technology, and are really outdated relics of the past. Technocracy’s ideology strongly believes brave new systems are needed to ‘face the challenges of the future.’
Governments have now enabled an unprecedented global grid of social tracking, but where does it end? People should not be so naive as to think it will not be relatively easy for the state to convert these instruments of bio-surveillance into tools of social control and exclusion. We’re seeing this unfold already in this COVID crisis.
Unless people wake up to this fact and begin to push back, then governments and corporations will simply take their silence as implied consent to the new technocracy police state.

US moves against ships accused of doing business with Iran and/or Venezuela have not stopped efforts by Iranian tankers to operate. Iranian supertanker Honey is, according to a shipping report, loading Venezuela’s top grade of exportable crude, with an eye toward exporting the crude to Asian countries.
Iranian VLCC supertanker carrying 2 million barrels of gas condensate suddenly pops up at the José Terminal, Venezuela. Most likely sailed all the way around southern Africa given her transponder was switched off. Name & IMO number has been painted over.

This would be a huge relief for Venezuela, as US threats have kept most of the world afraid to try to trade in Venezuelan crude. Iran is under so many threats at this point that it probably doesn’t register as an additional concern for them.
In trading in Venezuelan crude, importers can probably expect to buy at a somewhat below market price, either for direct use or by some company which intends to re-export while hiding the oil’s original origin.
The Trump Administration has seized ships, sanctioned ships, and in some cases claimed the right to auction off the seized cargo on the tankers and keep the money. All of that is a risk, but again it’s a risk that the Iranians face routinely.

In the context of the current overwhelming worldwide COVID-19 panic wave, this text has as goal to provide, on a differentiated scientific basis, a different view of the corona crisis than the one still dominantly presented in the mainstream media and used by many governments and their experts to maintain protection measures imposed on whole populations.
Scientific data as well as propositions based on them will be presented, bringing together what many scientists, medical doctors, economists and lawyers have already claimed in the past months. The panic wave and the subsequent scaremongering have not allowed until today that these voices be heard sufficiently. The present specific contribution will concern the potentially deleterious and even fatal role of emotions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr. Joel Kettner, professor of Community Health Science at Manitoba University and Medical Director of the International Centre for Infectious Diseases declared in March 2020:
I have never seen anything like this… I am not talking about the pandemic, because I have seen 30 of them, one every year… But I have never seen this reaction, and I am trying to understand why…”
Dr. David Jones declared recently, concerning the corona crisis, in the New England Journal of Medicine:
History suggests that we are actually at much greater risk of exaggerated fears and misplaced priorities”.
Common cold viruses invade the planet every year causing multiple, dominantly benign yearly “pandemics” (using like Dr. Kettner the term pandemic to define a worldwide viral distribution, without consideration of its dangerousness). They produce indeed, in a high majority (up to 99.5%) of their infections, either zero or mild symptoms like a sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, cough, sneeze or headache.
They represent the most common human infectious disease, adults having typically two to three infections per year, and children even more. Over 200 virus types are implicated, the main ones being rhino-, corona-, adeno- and enteroviruses as well as influenza, parainfluenza, human respiratory syncytial and metapneumoviruses. They can become dangerous mainly for frail, sick and old individuals, and their lethality can go as high as 8% in nursing homes (Ioannidis).
Like the influenza virus, they mutate regularly to counteract the protection gained by the human population thanks to its immunization. Common cold and influenza viruses produce respiratory tract infections (RTI), which are fatal for 2.6 million human beings per year worldwide (Roussel).
Take Home Messages
1. Corona viruses are one of the viral agents of the common cold, which, just like the flu, invade the whole planet every year. They cause largely widespread, mostly benign, yearly pandemics of respiratory tract infections.
2. COVID-19, the infection caused by SARS-CoV-2, the current corona mutation, is not more lethal than the flu, with a 0.1-0.2% infection fatality rate.
3. An immense majority (95%) of fatal evolutions happen in old and frail individuals with premorbidities, with an average age of death at or above 80 years old.
4. Antibody studies, cross immunization with other corona strains and the completion of the death toll curve in many countries are strong evidence that the human population is developing herd immunity against SARS-CoV-2. In this context, a severe “second wave” for SARS-CoV-2 is improbable. We may rather expect a new cold episode from it just like every year, but of regular or even weak intensity thanks to the gained herd immunity.
5. PCR testing of SARS-CoV-2 presence does not give any reliable prognostic evidence of its infectious power and lethality. The monitoring of the pandemic state and evolution is given only by the daily evolution of fatalities. In Switzerland as in many other countries, there is no longer any excess mortality attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Positive test rate is low (around 3%), and tests have as always a technical false positive rate and react to inactive viral fragments or to other corona strains.
6. Only in a small percentage of COVID-19 patients, the SARS-CoV-2 virus may, like the flu virus, activate an immunological and inflammatory overresponse, causing at worst fatal pulmonary organ failure.
Stress and emotions like fear, anger and sadness may 1) stimulate this overresponse, 2) cause cell death in the emotional brain and 3) trigger therein deleterious overactivities, with resulting cell damages in body tissues.
General isolation, distancing and lockdown measures, by limiting social contacts, freedom and basic human rights, add to the death toll through an upsurge of psychosocial and economic destabilization, worsening of psychiatric and demented individuals and reduction of medical care to the whole population. We have thus a combined causality for an excess mortality of COVID-19, a significant part of it being not due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself but to the worldwide COVID-19 panic wave and the imposed introduction of drastic and inhumane measures.
7. We are not facing the feared planetary killer virus, in spite of the inappropriate initial message of the WHO and different experts. The presented data speak for an urgent stop of all general lockdown, distancing and isolation measures. The world should revert back to the appropriate, routinely applied approach to respiratory viruses: to keep optimal protection measures for the old, frail and sick, as we have all learned to do year after year against the flu.
8. Common cold (and flu) viruses are ubiquitous in space (on the whole planet) and time (year after year). They are thus unavoidable, but cause fortunately mostly benign infections. We just need to protect specifically the populations at risk when a viral wave gets stronger than usual.

21stcenturywire--2020-09-25--Cartalucci: America’s Broken Syria Project

A recent altercation between Russian forces and US occupiers in northeastern Syria helped highlight the increasingly tenuous position Washington holds not only in Syria but across the entire Middle East .
After attempting to block Russian military vehicles , US forces found themselves being literally ploughed out of the way with overwhelming Russian airpower hovering overhead .
After complaining that American troops were “ injured ” in the incident and condemning Russia for “ unsafe and unprofessional actions , ” the United States announced that it was deploying more troops and military equipment to bolster its illegal occupation of Syrian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continued presence in Syria officially seeks to confront and eliminate the self-proclaimed “ Islamic State ” ( ISIS ) , but official accounts maintained by the US government and the US Department of Defense on an almost daily basis provide a wide and every-shifting number of excuses .
The region the US occupies is also where the majority of Syria ’ s petroleum is extracted and America ’ s “ protection ” of these resources is part of a wider strategy – not to fight ISIS – but to deny the Syrian state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it controls – both energy and revenue from its own natural resources .
In essence , the US is in Syria weakening the Syrian government who has led the fight against ISIS and provoking confrontations with Russia who has been key in aiding Damascus against ISIS , Al Nusra , and other affiliates of Al Qaeda .
SEE ALSO : US to Deploy Bradley Fighting Vehicles Into Syria The US had been in Syria a full year before Russia ’ s invitation by Damascus to aid in security operations against ISIS and Al @ @ @ @ @ @ @ military promptly began bombing supply lines feeding ISIS and other terrorist groups from across the Syrian border in Turkey .
ISIS ’ fighting capacity rapidly collapsed and remains isolated in pockets made inaccessible by America ’ s continued occupation of Syrian territory .
The confrontation with Russia and the decision to boost America ’ s military presence in Syria is but a microcosm of America ’ s wider struggle to maintain its invasive primacy over the Middle East and North Africa ( MENA ) .
Despite beginning the 21st century with an overwhelming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expanding its involvement in the region in 2011 through the US-engineered “ Arab Spring ” – US power and influence has visibly waned .
Its attempts to control virtually every aspect of Iraq ’ s internal politics has faltered in the face of Iraqis seeking alternative ties with neighboring Iran .
While Washington successfully toppled the government of Libya in 2011 , it has failed to do likewise in Syria .
Not only has it failed to oust the Syrian government , it has transformed the nation into a vector for alternative emerging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US influence in the region .
This most notably includes Russia but also Iran and China .
If at the turn of the century hundreds of thousands of US troops could not transform the region favorably for Washington , its provocative but small actions in eastern Syrian will unlikely make any difference now .
Against this backdrop is also Washington ’ s ongoing confrontation with Iran .
It ’ s creation then predictable withdrawal from its “ Iran Nuclear Deal ” has exposed the US as a malign global player acting in bad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ isolate Iran have increasingly transformed into a wider campaign to pressure and coerce a growing number of nations around the globe interested in trade and normal relations with Tehran .
The US has fewer and fewer cards to play in the region and more specifically in Syria .
If Syria and its allies can find ways around crippling economic sanctions the US is using to ravage the Syrian public and undermine Damascus ’ ability to ensure ISIS ’ defeat endures – the US will be left with empty hands , overextended , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The more confrontational Washington gets with Syria , Russia , and China , the easier it will be for each of these nations to justify actions taken to preserve and protect their collective interests – as well as win over a larger percent of the global community to support them in these efforts .
Stability is a central key to prosperity .

A recent altercation between Russian forces and US occupiers in northeastern Syria helped highlight the increasingly tenuous position Washington holds not only in Syria but across the entire Middle East.
After attempting to block Russian military vehicles, US forces found themselves being literally ploughed out of the way with overwhelming Russian airpower hovering overhead.
After complaining that American troops were “injured” in the incident and condemning Russia for “unsafe and unprofessional actions,” the United States announced that it was deploying more troops and military equipment to bolster its illegal occupation of Syrian territory.
The US also claimed its continued presence in Syria officially seeks to confront and eliminate the self-proclaimed “Islamic State” (ISIS), but official accounts maintained by the US government and the US Department of Defense on an almost daily basis provide a wide and every-shifting number of excuses.
On September 20th “Inherent Resolve’s” Twitter account would announce:
Bradley Fighting Vehicles provide the rapid flexibility needed to protect critical petroleum resources. The @Coalition continues to work alongside the SDF in their long term commitment to #defeatdaesh in NE Syria. pic.twitter.com/E7Nt62iGn3 — Inherent Resolve (@CJTFOIR) September 20, 2020
The region the US occupies is also where the majority of Syria’s petroleum is extracted and America’s “protection” of these resources is part of a wider strategy – not to fight ISIS – but to deny the Syrian state which has eliminated ISIS from all territory it controls – both energy and revenue from its own natural resources.
In essence, the US is in Syria weakening the Syrian government who has led the fight against ISIS and provoking confrontations with Russia who has been key in aiding Damascus against ISIS, Al Nusra, and other affiliates of Al Qaeda.
SEE ALSO: US to Deploy Bradley Fighting Vehicles Into Syria
The US had been in Syria a full year before Russia’s invitation by Damascus to aid in security operations against ISIS and Al Qaeda affiliates in 2015. The Russian military promptly began bombing supply lines feeding ISIS and other terrorist groups from across the Syrian border in Turkey. ISIS’ fighting capacity rapidly collapsed and remains isolated in pockets made inaccessible by America’s continued occupation of Syrian territory.
A Microcosm of America’s Wider MENA Failure
The confrontation with Russia and the decision to boost America’s military presence in Syria is but a microcosm of America’s wider struggle to maintain its invasive primacy over the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
Despite beginning the 21st century with an overwhelming military presence in Afghanistan and Iraq and expanding its involvement in the region in 2011 through the US-engineered “Arab Spring” – US power and influence has visibly waned. Its attempts to control virtually every aspect of Iraq’s internal politics has faltered in the face of Iraqis seeking alternative ties with neighboring Iran.
While Washington successfully toppled the government of Libya in 2011, it has failed to do likewise in Syria. Not only has it failed to oust the Syrian government, it has transformed the nation into a vector for alternative emerging global powers to contest and roll back US influence in the region. This most notably includes Russia but also Iran and China.
If at the turn of the century hundreds of thousands of US troops could not transform the region favorably for Washington, its provocative but small actions in eastern Syrian will unlikely make any difference now.
Against this backdrop is also Washington’s ongoing confrontation with Iran. It’s creation then predictable withdrawal from its “Iran Nuclear Deal” has exposed the US as a malign global player acting in bad faith. Its attempts to pressure and isolate Iran have increasingly transformed into a wider campaign to pressure and coerce a growing number of nations around the globe interested in trade and normal relations with Tehran.
The US has fewer and fewer cards to play in the region and more specifically in Syria. If Syria and its allies can find ways around crippling economic sanctions the US is using to ravage the Syrian public and undermine Damascus’ ability to ensure ISIS’ defeat endures – the US will be left with empty hands, overextended, and exposed in Syria’s eastern deserts.
The more confrontational Washington gets with Syria, Russia, and China, the easier it will be for each of these nations to justify actions taken to preserve and protect their collective interests – as well as win over a larger percent of the global community to support them in these efforts. Stability is a central key to prosperity. America’s foreign policy has fully revealed itself to be a global engine of instability that is costing even its own supposed allies socioeconomic opportunities and stability.
US foreign policy is unsustainable. Those still aiding it including Turkey are preparing for direct confrontations Syria and its allies will actively avoid – and if successful – will simply surround, cut off, and let whither the presence of these uninvited foreign forces occupying Syrian territory.
While it is too late for America’s “Syria project” to ever succeed in its original goal of regime change, it is not still too late for it to divest from its spiteful campaign to sink the region, its people, and their allies into a quagmire that will only further leave Washington and its allies isolated and impotent upon the global stage.

The recent GOP-led probe into the Bidens’ corruption and graft in Ukraine and China revealed how Obama administration officials knew the Hunter Biden situation was a problem at the time, but allowed the deep corruption to continue. Their disturbing findings were outlined in a 87-page report. Based on new information gleaned from the investigation, it is believed that Democratic Party’s Presidential candidate Joe Biden had lied to cover-up for his son.
Republicans have long maintained that Hunter Biden’s work with Ukrainian natural gas firm, Burisma Holdings, represented a dangerous conflict of interest.
“Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board cast a shadow over the work of those advancing anti-corruption reforms in Ukraine,” said the report.

It’s important to note that back in 2019, President Donald Trump asked the following rhetorical question:

“ The history books will need to be updated.
” The origin of Viking people in Scandinavian is steeped in legend and lore .
Referred to as as the Norse men , they emerged as a dominant forces in northern Europe in 8th century , leveraging their advances in marine navigation technology and sea route trading .
Yet , there is still much we don ’ t know about the genetic origins of this influential group .
A new DNA study reveals new clues as to the true roots of the Viking people .
History books typically depict Vikings as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the North Atlantic coast to pillage wherever they set foot on land .
While some of that may be true , a new genetic study of Viking DNA is flipping much of this history on its head .
In the largest genetic study of Viking DNA ever , scientists have found that Vikings — and their diaspora — are actually much more genetically diverse than we may have thought and were not necessarily all part of a homogenous background .

“The history books will need to be updated.”
The origin of Viking people in Scandinavian is steeped in legend and lore. Referred to as as the Norse men, they emerged as a dominant forces in northern Europe in 8th century, leveraging their advances in marine navigation technology and sea route trading.
Yet, there is still much we don’t know about the genetic origins of this influential group. A new DNA study reveals new clues as to the true roots of the Viking people.
Sarah Wells of Inverse reports…
History books typically depict Vikings as blue-eyed, blonde-haired, burly men sailing the North Atlantic coast to pillage wherever they set foot on land. While some of that may be true, a new genetic study of Viking DNA is flipping much of this history on its head.
In the largest genetic study of Viking DNA ever, scientists have found that Vikings — and their diaspora — are actually much more genetically diverse than we may have thought and were not necessarily all part of a homogenous background.
Sequencing the genomes of over 400 Viking men, women, and children from ancient burial sites, researchers found evidence of genetic influence from Southern Europe and Asia in Viking DNA dating back to before the Viking Age (750 – 1050 A.D.).
The authors also note that individuals not related to Vikings genetically, such as native Pictish people of Scotland and Ireland, sometimes received traditional Viking burials — suggesting that being a Viking was not so much about specific family roots but about a sense of internal identity.
In the study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, an international team of researchers reports findings from their six-year-long study of 442 human remains from burial sites that date back between the Bronze Age (2400 B.C.) to the Early Modern period (1600 A.D.)
When comparing the genetic material of these ancient samples with 3,855 present-day individuals from regions like the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Sweden, and data from 1,118 ancient individuals, they discovered more intermixing of genetic material than they’d originally imagined, lead author and director of The Lundbeck Foundation GeoGenetics Centre at the University of Copenhagen, Eske Willerslev, said in a statement.
“We have this image of well-connected Vikings mixing with each other, trading and going on raiding parties to fight Kings across Europe because this is what we see on television and read in books — but genetically we have shown for the first time that it wasn’t that kind of world,” explains Willerslev.
“This study changes the perception of who a Viking actually was — no one could have predicted these significant gene flows into Scandinavia from Southern Europe and Asia happened before and during the Viking Age.”
Based on these results, Willerslev says that even well-known imagery of Vikings being blonde and blue-eyed (like Chris Hemsworth’s depiction of Thor) may not be totally true, especially for Vikings with Southern European roots. The authors write that their analysis also confirmed some long-held theories and hunches about the movement of Vikings during this time.
One of the first hunches that the study was able to confirm was the final destination of different threads of Viking migration from modern-day Scandinavia.
The DNA of ancient Danish Vikings cropped up in England while Norwegian Viking DNA was found in Ireland, Iceland, and Greenland. Unexpectedly though, they also found evidence of DNA similar to present-day Swedish populations in the western edge of Europe and DNA similar to modern Danish populations further east.
The researchers write that this unexpected discovery suggests that complex settling, trading, and raiding networks during these times resulted in communities of mixed ancestry.
Even more, the study’s analysis shows that this mixed ancestry was taking place even before the so-called Viking Age, explains Martin Sikora, a lead author on the study and associate professor at the Centre for GeoGenetics, University of Copenhagen.
“We found that Vikings weren’t just Scandinavians in their genetic ancestry, as we analyzed genetic influences in their DNA from Southern Europe and Asia which has never been contemplated before,” said Sikora. “Many Vikings have high levels of non-Scandinavian ancestry, both within and outside Scandinavia, which suggest ongoing gene flow across Europe.”
And some “Vikings” weren’t of genetic Viking descent at all, researchers found when analyzing a Viking burial site in Orkney, Scotland. Despite being put to rest in traditional Viking style (including swords and other Viking memorabilia,) when sequencing the DNA of these remains the authors found that the two individuals buried at this site were in fact of Pictish (or, early-Irish and early-Scottish) decent.
The researchers write that this discovery suggests that being a Viking was not necessarily about how far back your Nordic roots reached but instead had more to do with one’s lived identity.
“The results change the perception of who a Viking actually was,” said Willerev. “The history books will need to be updated.”
In addition to providing a more nuanced look at this transformational period of history, this new genetic insight can also help scientists better understand how different traits, like immunity, pigmentation, and metabolism, are selected for across genetic groups…

Indeed, something very strange is happening in Europe and the UK with regards to the much hyped “Second Wave” of the novel coronavirus ‘pandemic’ which governments and mainstream media have been saying is inevitable now for 6 months.
The so-called ‘experts’ all seem to be aloof and baffled by the paradox on display – a huge second wave of so-called cases’ (people who have tested PCR positive for coronavirus), but with only a few hospitalizations, and absolutely no increase in deaths.
So how then can we rightly call it a ‘pandemic’? How can governments justify even more draconian laws and regulations?
Sky News host Andrew Bolt speaks with Dr Soo Aleman, Associate Professor at Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden, to discuss the her research concerning T-cells and also rates of potential immunity among the general population.

Has the mask become the new badge of virtue signalling for the political left?
Talk Radio host Mark Dolan railed against the Corona masks saying:
“No wonder people are beginning to rebel. The inconsistent mask message makes no sense. Wearing a mask is the new woke. It’s state sponsored virtue signalling on a grand scale.”
As Dolan cut up his mask live on air, he warned about the dangers of groupthink mass-hysteria:
“If you want to save lives and get the country back on track, the only option is to get back to normal. The first step to achieving that is binning these wretched masks.”
Watch this controversial segment which aired this week from their London studio:
