Mug shot photos are on The Smoking Gun

Vince Shlomi is a much better salesman than Billy Mays. Billy Mays screams through the entire Oxiclean and Mighty Mend It commercials, as if he’s that obnoxious drunk trying to win the argument by sheer volume. Vince Shlomi has a much softer voice, accented by what to my ears sounded like a cute New York accent. Vince’s biggest commercial is for ShamWow, the incredible piece of cloth that can pretty much absorb whatever liquid is spilled. Vince also has another product he’s just started to shill – the Slap-Chop, a little tool you can use to cut everything from vegetables to… I don’t know, more vegetables?

Anyway, Vince is in a bit of trouble. He was in Miami, partying at a club. He picked up a prostitute named Sasha Harris, and paid her $1000 to go back to his hotel room for “straight sex”. Once in the hotel room, Vince tried to kiss Sasha. Sasha then bit down on Vince’s tongue and wouldn’t release it. Vince then punched Sasha several times until she let go. Both were injured in the incident, and both were arrested. The Smoking Gun has more:

Meet Vince Shlomi. He’s probably better known to you as the ShamWow Guy, the ubiquitous television pitchman who has been phenomenally successful peddling absorbent towels and food choppers. Shlomi, 44, was arrested last month on a felony battery charge following a violent confrontation with a prostitute in his South Beach hotel room.

According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miami Beach nightclub on February 7 and subsequently retired with her to his $750 room at the lavish Setai hotel. Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she “propositioned him for straight sex.”

Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly “bit his tongue and would not let go.” Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue. The affidavit notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face. After freeing his tongue, a bleeding Shlomi ran to the Setai lobby, where security summoned cops.

Harris refused to cooperate with officers, who recovered $930 from her purse. “Both parties had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from their persons,” police reported.

In a brief telephone interview, Harris declined to answer TSG questions about her run-in with Shlomi, though she did say she is considering a lawsuit against the pitchman. Asked if she worked as a hooker, Harris declined comment.

[Shlomi] was also injured during the fracas and, court records show, was treated at Mount Sinai Medical Center. While Shlomi and Harris were both arrested for felony aggravated battery, prosecutors this month declined to file formal charges against the combatants. Police records list Shlomi’s occupation as “Marketing,” but make no mention of his affiliation with the ShamWow or the Slap Chop, both of which sell for $19.95 (plus shipping and handling).

Many people have been making jokes about this whole incident. Some are funny, some not so much. Something about “slap-chopping” a hooker, or ShamWowing all of the blood. What in the world were both of them thinking? I thought men weren’t allowed to kiss hookers on the mouth? And why in the world would the hooker try to bite his tongue off? It all just seems rather sad.

Here’s a segment from the ShamWow commercial:

If you believe the National Enquirer, Jessica Simpson is upset because a letter of encouragement she sent to Rihanna after the Chris Brown attack went unanswered. Simpson has said that she was in an abusive relationship in the past but has not disclosed the nature of the abuse or named the person who hurt her. Her song “Remember That” is about surviving abuse.

[Jessica Simpson] announced during a concert that any woman being abused should “take your heart and run,” then sent a note to Rihanna with advice, according to insiders>

“But Rihanna ignored Jessica’s letter,” an insider told The Enquirer.

“Actually, she was kind of shocked that Jessica had the nerve to try to get involved in her very personal problems…

Prior to Jessica reaching out to Rihanna, the pair were acquaintances but not friends.

“Jessica doesn’t have a mean bone in her body and she definitely had good intentions, but her appeal to Rihanna was misguided and a little tacky,” said the source.

“Jess is acting like an expert on domestic violence, and it’s strange that she’d write a letter to a woman she barely knows, offering advice and a sympathetic ear. Jess took a gamble and now she’s hurt because Rihanna didn’t bother to acknowledge the correspondence.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, April 6, 2009]

If this is true, you wouldn’t really expect Rihanna to run out and call Simpson back or anything. She went back to Brown and thought she could handle it her own way. It seems unknown if these two are still together, and there are promising signs that Rihanna has walked away from Chris. She’s been seen out alone on the town several times and recently got a small gun tattoo on her lower right rib, which could have been a sign that she’s ready to defend herself against predators like Chris who can turn on you at a moments notice.

You can imagine Simpson doing this with only good intentions. When even Rihanna’s friends and family can’t get through to her, some person she barely knows isn’t going to be successful at it either. That’s the insidious nature of this type of abuse, it’s not something other people can convince you of until you’re ready to acknowledge it yourself. Either way, I don’t blame Rihanna for not knowing which way to turn and just feel sorry for her.

Soap star Hunter Tylo’s real life is far more dramatic than anything you’d see on daytime TV. The actress is getting ready to marry boyfriend Corey Cofield, even though she once took out a restraining order against him for violence against her and two of her children. Sources say the “Bold and the Beautiful” actress has “forgiven” Cofield and believes him when he says it won’t happen again.

Although she accused the 39-year-old bass guitarist of terrorizing her children and forcing her to have sex, she’s now forgiven him, say friends, and the couple plans to marry.

The ENQUIRER has learned that The Bold and the Beautiful star isn’t the first woman to seek protection from Corey – his former live-in lover, Georgia Ginsberg, also accused him of domestic abuse. Georgia, who has a child with Corey, filed for a restraining order against him in January, while he was living with Hunter.

After years of heartache, Hunter, 46, was said to be overjoyed when she first hooked up with Corey.

But according to the restraining order she took out against him, he “snuck in the house in order to trap me upstairs” after she told him to leave on April 16, 2008. “When I tried to go past him, he violently grabbed my wrist, and as I tried to get free, he grabbed my neck tightly and said, ‘I’m not going to go away that easy.’”

She said that earlier that same month he “locked the bedroom door after I caught him in a lie about another woman and forced me to have sex saying, ‘Tell me you love me. Say it like you mean it.’” Court records describe how her daughters – Izabella, 12, and Katya, 11 – were left “visibly shaking” after he “disciplined” them while she was at work.

Corey denied all the allegations, but the judge granted the restraining order. In October, Hunter had the order lifted, saying that he’d been taking parenting classes and attending family and couple’s therapy.

“He has demonstrated a commitment to keeping peace in the family,” she said at the time.

While Hunter and Corey haven’t yet set a wedding date, sources close to the couple say the big day could come soon.

“Hunter has shocked everyone by going back to Corey,” added the source.

[From The National Enquirer]

This, to me, is even more alarming than the Chris Brown/Rihanna reconciliation, because there are children involved. I really have to wonder what the hell this woman is thinking. This guy sounds totally creepy and I don’t see how a few parenting classes and family therapy is going to change that. You would think that protecting her daughters would be priority one for Hunter, who lost her son in a drowning accident in 2007.

Seems like every day, another man in Hollywood is falling over himself to offer support to alleged domestic abuser Chris Brown. Diddy, Kanye West, and Akon have all spoken to the media in the last few weeks defending Brown, saying that “we don’t know what happened” on Feb. 8. As if we couldn’t figure out what happened by looking at the photos of Rihanna’s beaten face. Now, Tyrese Gibson, former model and star of Bravo’s “Make Me a Supermodel,actor who appeared in “Transformers,” is talking about how poor little Chrissy is having such a hard time focusing on his music lately. All together now: Boo hoo!

Chris Brown may not be the most popular guy right now, but friend Tyrese Gibson says everyone needs to take a step back and give him and Rihanna breathing room while they sort through a trying time.

“Although he appears to be really strong through all of this, it’s really taking a toll on his spirit,” Gibson said at Sunday’s 2009 Ball Up Street Ball Tour. “People like me and Puff, we’re just trying to show him love and keep his spirits up while he’s going through all of the heat, and there are a lot people doing the same for Rihanna.”

In February, Brown, 19, allegedly assaulted the Barbadian singer and his name has since appeared in countless negative articles and discussions of domestic abuse. Rihanna, too, has faced fallout, including criticism for taking Brown back. (According to one source, they have since decided to take a break.)

“It’s really hard for him to focus right now on his music, even though he really wants to,” said Gibson. “At the end of the day, I’m not trying to justify it because wrong is wrong, but unfortunately, us as entertainers, we have to grow up on stage with a lot of people looking at us. And a lot of people forget that he’s 19, she’s only 21.”

[From People]

Hmmm. He wants us to give Brown a break because he’s only 19. The way I see it, 19 is plenty old enough to know how to keep your hands to yourself. In fact, I was teaching my kids that rule from the time they were toddlers. How long are we supposed to give Chris a break, exactly? Should we wait a few more years, after he has hurt a few more women, and then decide to hold him accountable for it? Or, should we wait until he kills someone because he’s learned from experience that he is above the law? I wonder if Tyrese would still be feeling sorry for Chris if it was his sister who was on the receiving end of those punches and bites.

Here’s a better question: is there any man in the R&B/hip hop community who has the balls to come out and say what he did was wrong- end of story? No excuses, no disclaimers, just “It was wrong.” Is there any guy in that entertainment world man enough to do that? Just wondering.

And the outrage will continue: not only does Chris Brown get to beat up on Rihanna again, any time he wants to, now that she has made the horrible decision to take him back – but it also looks like he is trying to get out of paying any kind of legal price for it, too. New reports say that Brown’s lawyers are moving to have all the charges stemming from his Feb. 8 attack on Rihanna dropped. Their argument? It was just a little lover’s tiff.

CHRIS BROWN will try to wriggle out of assault charges by saying his alleged attack on RIHANNA was a lovers’ tiff.

His lawyers want the charges against the R&B star, 19, dropped. A source said: “He will argue it was a misunderstanding between two young people passionately in love.”

Brown’s lawyers want a special court hearing in Los Angeles next week.

They say the shock photo of Rihanna’s injuries mean a fair trial is impossible.

Meanwhile pop beauty Rihanna, 21, told fans, “I’m doing fine,” on a night out in New York.

[From The Sun]

If those photos of Rihanna’s face looking like a side of beef make it impossible for him to get a fair trial, maybe he should have thought of that BEFORE he did it to her! Those photos also make it impossible for anyone with a brain to dismiss the charges, but who knows- this is Hollywood justice, so chances are the punk ass bitch will walk. Dammit, this story just makes me so angry. To call what he did a “tiff?” Yeah, because all lover’s tiffs end with one lover’s face punched in. Didn’t you know that? Those weren’t bruises left by punches and bites – they were love taps, everyone! And as for the strangling and the threats on her life? He was just playing. He’s such a kidder, that Chris. It was just a big misunderstanding between Rihanna’s face and Chris’ fist. That’s all.

Last night, “The View” co-host Joy Behar subbed for Larry King on his “Larry King Live” show on CNN. Joy’s topic for the night was domestic abuse- a reaction, no doubt, to the Rihanna/Chris Brown story. Behar welcomed two guests who know a thing or two about the topic: actress Robin Givens, ex-wife of boxer Mike Tyson, and Denise Brown, sister of the late Nicole Brown Simpson. Givens is now the spokesperson for the National Domestic Violence Hotline, and spoke about the violence she suffered while married to the fallen heavyweight champ. She said she identifies with Rihanna’s situation of being involved with a famous, powerful man who hurts her.

The following transcript has been edited for brevity and clarity:

Guest host Joy Behar: In a “Larry King Live” exclusive, Robin Givens and Denise Brown sound the warning to one quarter of all women who will be kicked, punched, raped, even killed by partners in their life times. …

We’re talking about Rihanna and Chris Brown and the allegations against him.

As you’ve just heard, the numbers are pretty appalling. Joining me now is someone who lived it: actress, ex-wife of former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson and spokesperson for the National Domestic Violence Hotline, Robin Givens. Greetings.

Robin Givens: Greetings.

Behar: Does this Rihanna/Chris Brown [story] bring up bad memories for you?

Givens: Yes, it does.

Behar: Tell me how you’ve been feeling lately while you’re watching this on television?

Givens: Even sitting now, you know, here with you, it shakes you up. You know, you begin to sweat. You begin to feel sad all over. … It’s hard to sit here.

Behar. You were saying to me before that it’s always the same story. What do you mean by that?

Givens: I’ve spoken to women every[where]. … Peoria, El Paso. … And what’s amazing is that I find that my story is their story; their story is my story — down to the details. He dragged me down the hall by my hair. He pulled me out of bed by my panties. He would like to choke me. He would kick.

When I wrote my book, I was somewhere talking about something. And a woman came up to me and she said I wanted you to stop talking because I felt like everybody would know that you were talking about me.

Behar: Oh, boy. And it’s the same progression, too, it seems?

Givens: I was hit for the first time before I was married. And I did what you thought you should do, of course. You know, you don’t take any phone calls. Three days, absolutely not. Absolutely not. All of a sudden, you start taking a phone calls.

Behar: Softening up.

Givens: Yes. And then all of a sudden, OK, let’s meet and we’ll talk. And then you meet and all of a sudden this person, this man that you love, that’s claiming his love for you, is crying, you know?

And then you’re consoling them. And it just becomes, I’ll never, ever, ever do it again. … I just love you so much. It’s so hard for me to handle how much I love you. And it [the cycle of abuse] just begins.

[From CNN]

I remember very clearly when Robin Givens finally left Mike Tyson – she was made out to be a liar and a gold digger by the press, who was still infatuated with Tyson and didn’t want to believe he was an abuser. Her career never really recovered, even after Tyson went to jail on rape charges. Hopefully, Rihanna won’t endure the scorn and ridicule Givens did – but there sure are a lot of people who don’t want to believe her story, too.

When the story first broke about Chris Brown’s brutal attack on his girlfriend Rihanna, several celebrities expressed shock that Brown was capable of such behavior. This list of Brown apologists included the Queen of talk, Oprah Winfrey. The daytime diva heaped praise on Brown because he was nice enough to visit the students at her school for girls in Africa. I bet she’s regretting her Chris Brown love-fest now that more disturbing details have been leaked about the extent of his abuse on Rihanna, including his threats to kill her. Perhaps that’s why Oprah has hopped off the fence recently and has attempted to reach Rihanna, both privately and on the air.

Oprah has outraged viewers and ignited a scandal with her reaction to the domestic violence shocker involving Rihanna and Chris Brown. Following the Feb. 8 incident – which could put the R&B singer behind bars for years for allegedly battering the 21-year-old – Oprah reportedly telephoned the “Umbrella” singer to offer comfort.

But skeptics blast the talk queen’s call as nothing more than a brazen attempt to secure an interview, and as one Web site said, “lay the groundwork for an eventual on-air exclusive.”

On her Feb. 20 show, Oprah created even more controversy by discussing a post-incident photo of a bruised Rihanna. …Gushing about Brown, Oprah called him “lovely…a wonderful, kind, generous guy.”

But some viewers thought Oprah and (best friend) Gayle (King) went too far as they praised Brown for visiting Oprah’s school for girls in Africa.

…The show was a surprise to fans who remember that Oprah herself had been a victim of abuse at the hands of men.

“It appears Oprah is trying to play both sides of the fence, trying to reel in either a Chris Brown or Rihanna exclusive interview,” concluded an insider. “Her actions in public and in private in regard to the Rihanna-Chris Brown incident seem out of character for Oprah.”

[From The National Enquirer print version, March 16, 2009]

Since Oprah likes to bill herself as some sort of expert/advocate on domestic abuse, she should have known that abusers are often charming and “nice” with other people. It’s only behind closed doors that their abusive behavior comes out. Shame on Oprah for not condemning Chris Brown’s actions from day one. But these days, tt would appear that Oprah has decided to give up on the Chris Brown angle. Just last Friday, Oprah addressed Rihanna directly on her show, advising the young singer that “love doesn’t hurt” and she should wait before getting back together with Brown.

“You need somebody to tell you the truth in this moment. And the truth is guys, both Chris Brown and Rihanna, if I were your friend, I would call you up and I would say ‘Give it some time, get yourself some counseling, take care of yourself, heal yourself first’,” she said during the live broadcast.

“And also, ‘Love doesn’t hurt’. I’ve been saying this to women for years – love doesn’t hurt. And if a man hits you once, he will hit you again. He will hit you again. I don’t care what his plea is, he will hit you again.’”

[From Popeater]

I still find it interesting that Oprah doesn’t come right out and say “get out of the relationship.” Instead, she advises that they give it some time before getting back together. As if giving it time will stop Chris Brown from being an abuser. If the abuser were anyone other than a friend of Oprah’s she’d be blasting him every single day on her show.

Oprah’s in a dangerous position here. Like it or not, she is a powerful media influence and walks a fine line between raising awareness on a difficult topic like domestic abuse, and exploiting a painfully public incident to boost the ratings of her show. Perhaps she should avoid reaching out to either of them and just do a show on domestic violence in general. How about an entire show devoted to giving regular women support and resources to get out of violent relationships? That would do a lot more good than courting either Rihanna or Chris Brown.

Well Chris Brown’s plans to be a self-centered girlfriend-beating douche just got even bigger. I didn’t think he could possibly come up with a new way to offend absolutely everyone, but he sure managed to. Chris is going to write a book. About abuse. With Rihanna. All in an incredibly offensive (and some would say mentally abusive) attempt to salvage his career.

Chris Brown and Rihanna plan to co-author a book about abuse and go on a talk show tour in a desperate bid to salvage his career, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Saturday.

Quoting sources close to Brown’s legal team, the paper said the R&B singer charged with brutalizing Rihanna even has a name for his rehabilitation effort: “Project Mea Culpa.”

“The only way Chris can possibly reverse things is to come clean and help raise awareness about abusive relationships,” a source told the paper.

“Obviously this is a public relations campaign, but it only will work if there’s genuine healing, contrition and a path to preventing future problems,” the source said.

“It’s another example of trying to turn a bad situation into something good … where people can learn to change habits.”

[From the New York Daily News]

I find this offensive on so many levels. The biggest one that he’s clearly just doing this for himself; there is no contrition or repentance there. But involving Rihanna in this? It’s absolutely disgusting. While I’d love to think this is untrue, the Chicago Sun-Times is a very reputable source. And we’ve already learned that absolutely nothing is below Chris Brown.

He clearly wants to profit off this nonsense. I’m sure whoever came up with this ridiculous scheme (probably his PR firm) will also be smart enough to have him donate all the profits to a domestic violence charity. But since Chris is only doing this to save his career, he’s still hoping to profit off it. I cannot believe more people aren’t calling this guy out for what he is.

Rihanna has reunited with abuser Chris Brown, but her lawyer stated in a brief press conference that the singer will testify against Brown in his upcoming felony trial if prosecutors require it. This is a different story than was previously released earlier this week stating that Rihanna was refusing to cooperate with L.A. County prosecutors in the case. Though she declined the judge’s offer of issuing a protection order against Brown, Rihanna’s lawyer said in the conference that her rights will be protected in this case, and she has not indicated that she will refuse to give her side of the story.

Rihanna’s lawyer Donald Etra tells Usmagazine.com that the 21-year-old singer could wind up testifying in the felony assault case against her boyfriend Chris Brown.

“She is planning to do everything that the law requires her to do,” Etra tells Us. “If she is required to testify, she will do so.”

Rihanna was not present Thursday as Brown, 19, briefly appeared at Los Angeles Superior Court after being charged with two felonies (assault likely to cause great bodily injury and making criminal threats) for allegedly beating her Feb 8 in Los Angeles. Etra – who was in court – did not request a more restrictive order that Brown stay away from her.

He said she has provided no comments on the outcome she wants in the case.

“The fact is, Rihanna desires that it be quick and expeditious,” he told Us. “She wants to get back to her life and her career.”

Asked how she is doing, Etra tells Us, “She is doing fine. She really appreciates the love and support of her fans.”

He declined to comment on reports that Brown is taking anger management classes. (It has been rumored that Brown is attending classes as part of a plea bargain that his lawyer Mark Geragos is trying to work out to avoid a trial.)

“That is best addressed to his attorney,” said Etra, who also would not comment on Rihanna’s decision to get back together with Brown.

“It would be inappropriate to comment on the nature of their relationship,” he said.

[From Us Weekly]

I think the nature of their relationship is painfully obvious to everyone. It’s a relief to know that Rihanna isn’t forfeiting her right to testify against her abuser – but she is putting herself in a very dangerous position by continuing to stay with Brown. It would be very easy for him to pressure her into changing her testimony for his benefit as long as they are still involved. As long as he is able to exert power over her and keep her isolated from anyone who might be able to talk some sense into her, chances are slim that Brown will serve any jail time. Which is sickening.

Following yesterday’s court hearing in which Chris Brown was charged on two felony counts for his attack on girlfriend Rihanna, reports surfaced that the battered singer’s parents have been unable to reach her by phone. It all started while Rihanna was secretly meeting with Brown at Diddy’s Miami estate last week, resulting in the couple’s unfortunate reconciliation. Rihanna’s father said he tried multiple times to reach his daughter by phone, but her number had been changed. He went on to say that attempts by Rihanna’s mother were also unsuccessful.

US: What was your reaction after hearing Chris Brown was charged with two felonies?
Fenty: I don’t know how to react. Chris is a very talented guy. I still think he’s a little immature for Rihanna. Justice can never be served in this situation. He can’t feel the pain she felt. I don’t believe in hitting a woman. I hope everything works out better for them. I don’t feel happy or sad. He’s in the court’s hands. Let justice prevail.

US: Have you seen the new police report that details Brown biting, hitting and threatening to kill Rihanna?
Fenty: I haven’t seen anything. I hear so many things. I don’t know what to believe until I see it myself. Rihanna’s mother is telling me that she hasn’t heard anything from her [Rihanna]. She said the last she heard Rihanna was well.

US: If those reports are true, how upset are you?
RF: I don’t know what to say, honest to god. I’ve been hearing so many stories. I don’t feel any pain anymore. I’ve gone numb. I’ve heard so much. But I can’t get on to her. Her mother can’t get on to her, her brother told me she changed her email. Somebody has a stranglehold on her. I’m lost.

US: I know you’ve been speaking with your daughter over text. Is she no longer reachable?
RF: I’ll text the old numbers she had, and I call them. One girl answered, and she said, “This is not Robyn’s number anymore.” I asked, “Do you work for Robyn? Do you deal with Robyn?” And the girl hung up, so I don’t know what’s going on anymore. I’m lost.

Us: What was her last text to you?
RF: [She] said, “Daddy, I miss you.” And that’s it. And I could not reply. I saw a number and texted back, “I miss you too.” And I didn’t get another reply from her.

US: Obviously, you still support her.
RF: Yes, of course. Anyone in my family, I’m there for them. All of my kids, I’m there for them. Rihanna’s no exception. All of them I would support. I would tell them where they go wrong, I’d chastise them when they do s–t, but to be honest with you they have their own life to live.

US: What would you say to Chris Brown if you saw him today?
RF: I would tell Chris, “Don’t ever try again, don’t even think about it.” I’m hurt and disturbed at that scenario.

[From Us Weekly]

This is yet another classic move from the abuser textbook: the manipulation and isolation of the victim. The abuser has messed with the victim’s head to the point that she will only listen to and trust him – and shuts out friends and family who say anything negative about him. It will make it much harder for Rihanna to get out if and when she decides enough is enough.

Another disturbing rumor that surfaced today was that Chris Brown and his PR rep were the ones who tipped off the paparazzi about the “secret” reunion in Miami. The New York Post claims they were informed about the meeting between Rihanna and the man who attacked by Brown himself. The move was apparently part of Brown’s attempt to save his career by convincing Rihanna to get back together with him before his court date.

HOW in the world did the paparazzi pack in Miami know where Chris Brown and Rihanna were hiding out? The two were staying at Sean Combs’ gated estate on Star Island, where such celebrities as Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan and Shaquille O’Neal hide from their fans. A source said, “Chris tipped off the photographers. He needs it to be out there that he and Rihanna are back together. His only chance for a career was if she got back together with him, and he wanted people to see them there.”

A rep for Brown said, “To my knowledge this is not true.” Unfortunately for Brown, while he provided many photo ops – riding on jet skis, ogling women’s bottoms and chatting up ladies – Rihanna stayed hidden inside the house. The couple was snapped together (again, mysteriously) Monday as they boarded a private jet to LA.

[From New York Post]

Absolutely despicable! This guy just keeps getting more sinister with each new story. All I can hope is that Rihanna comes to her senses and accepts her parents’ support so she can get the hell away from him. Nothing good can come from her staying in this relationship.

Note by Celebitchy: Chris Brown is shown in court yesterday. He didn’t enter a plea for the two felony counts against him, according to US Weekly, and postponed his arraignment until April 6. It is thought that his lawyer will represent him in court at that time and that the case will not go to trial.
