    Michigan Governor Stripped of Power to Enforce Mandates – Why are the People of Michigan Still Obeying Her?

    Last week the Michigan Supreme Court struck down Governor Whitmer's "legal" basis for practicing tyranny on the citizens of Michigan in the name of a "pandemic." Justice Stephen J. Markman, on behalf of the majority in a 4-3 majority that fell along party lines, wrote: “We conclude that the Governor lacked the authority to declare a ‘state of emergency’ or a ‘state of disaster’ under the EMA after April 30, 2020, on the basis of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, we conclude that the EPGA is in violation of the Constitution of our state because it purports to delegate to the executive branch the legislative powers of state government– including its plenary police powers– and to allow the exercise of such powers indefinitely. As a consequence, the EPGA cannot continue to provide a basis for the Governor to exercise emergency powers.” Whitmer had extended the "emergency orders" which had been in place since April, until near the end of October, and probably had every intention of extending them indefinitely. A few days later, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced that she would no longer enforce the Governor's edicts. And while Nessel stated that her decision, as the highest law enforcement official in the State of Michigan, was not binding on other law enforcement agencies, several sheriffs throughout Michigan had already stated they would not enforce her edicts before the Supreme Court even ruled on them. And The Detroit News reported that the Michigan Chiefs of Police Association was going to follow the Attorney General's lead. "If the attorney general says it’s over, then it’s over," said Bob Stevenson, executive director of the association. But Governor Whitmer has decided she is still in charge and apparently above the law, as yesterday she issued new mask mandates and other mandates on public gatherings in a desperate attempt to remain in control of the public as their Tyrant in Chief. So the only thing now forcing people to obey the edicts of Whitmer, is the will of the people themselves. To you U.S. Citizens living in Michigan, what are you going to do now? You now have the law on your side, and your Governor does not. Will you continue to obey her as slaves, or stand up and exercise your freedoms? The entire country is watching you now. Time to take off your masks, open up your businesses, congregate, and act as free people!

      World’s Top Epidemiologists Oppose Madman Fauci and Call for End to Lockdowns

      Three of the world's top epidemiologists are going public to contradict Dr. Fauci and other doctor politicians who are calling for renewed lock-downs over the Coronavirus. They are: Dr. Martin Kulldorff - Harvard Medical School Professor,  Dr. Sunetra Gupta - Oxford University Epidemiology Professor,  and Dr. Jayanta Bhattacharya - Stanford Epidemiology Professor. They were interviewed Monday night by Laura Ingraham on Fox News. They claim that the consensus in the scientific community is NOT in favor of locking down entire populations, but only those at most risk, and they are calling for the end of lock-downs for the vast majority of the population who are not at risk for COVID.  And they are not alone. They published the "Great Barrington" declaration this week which has already been signed by over 1000 medical and public health scientists within the first few hours of being published.

        2020: The Year The System Showed Its Real Face

        As we grew up, nearly all of us were inundated with stories of our glorious national fathers, our beautiful democracies, and so on. And being young, we for the most part believed them. The system gave us our prosperity, our comfort, our medicine, our sense of importance. Soon enough we learned that the system was also stupid and perverse, but we found a way around that contradiction by blaming one segment of the system or another: The Blues or the Greens or the Red are the problem; it could not, must not, be that the system itself is the problem. Then came 2020, and the system revealed its true face. By referring to “the system” and “us,” I’m dividing the world into two parts, and so I should be clear on what those parts are: Us refers to producers: the people who grow food, transport it, process it, build machines, provide medical care, and so on. Everyone from the construction worker to the small business owner to the cleaning lady is a producer, and deserve great respect for what they do. We owe all the comforts of our lives, and frequently our lives altogether, to these people. The system refers to the entire governmental complex that takes our money and couldn’t survive without it. It also includes everything that couldn’t be what they are without them: Central banks, government school systems, businesses that live on government connections, television networks, social media behemoths, and more or less everything high and mighty. What I’d like is for the producers of the world to become clear on the fact that we don’t need them. Everything they “do for us” is done with our money, which they take from us by force and fraud. And let’s be honest about this: The system is a violent, corrupt and control-obsessed entity. Millions of us would choose other arrangements if we could, but the system forbids them. Forcibly. We should also understand that this has happened before. The system is not worthy of our labor and treasure. Whether or not it once was (and if so, when) no longer matters. 2020 has made this much clear. It’s time to drop our child-training and look at the world like the adults we’ve become.

          Resistance Grows Across the U.S. as Constitutional Sheriffs Meet in Virginia

          County sheriffs, police officers, pastors and attorneys fighting Covid19 lockdowns, business closings, mask mandates and unconstitutional gun laws met in Lynchburg, Virginia on September 30 to share their strategies. The constitutional training conference was sponsored by the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) founded by former sheriff Richard Mack. US citizens were also invited to attend to learn more about how their elected sheriff is the first line of defense in their county who fight for the constitutional rights of their constituents and what they can do to preserve liberty. Many remember Mack successfully sued, along with six other sheriffs, the federal government on the grounds that the Brady bill violated the US Constitution and destroyed state sovereignty. As he puts it: “I sued the Clintons and lived to tell about it.” “I feel this is the most important meeting in America since the constitutional convention,” he said of the conference. “The people are the rightful masters of Congress, legislators and courts. It is our duty to fight those who would pervert it. There are so many traitors in our midst (for instance, the 'covid dictator governors') and we must make them irrelevant.” What can concerned citizens do? Take action in the countryside of America, county by county, one sheriff at a time. Work with chiefs of police, talk to health departments, and activate the churches.

            Trump to do Full 5-Day Course of Remdesivir – Betrayal of Hydroxychloroquine Doctors?

            Yesterday I speculated as to why President Trump may be receiving treatment for COVID as it was announced immediately after his alleged positive COVID test that he was going to be given a new experimental COVID drug that has not even been fast-tracked for approval yet. The stock of the company producing the drug rose on Friday as a result of the announcement. Today (October 4, 2020) it was announced that Trump had received his second dose of remdesivir, another experimental COVID drug, but one that has already received fast-track approval by the FDA, and has been widely distributed to hospitals. His doctors reported that President Trump would receive the full 5 doses. Interestingly, FiercePharma, the main pharmaceutical marketing trade publication, announced on Friday, October 2nd, the same day Trump was admitted to Walter Reed, that sales of Gilead's remdesivir were beginning to slump, and that the company was taking over distribution of the drug now as a result of the slow-down in sales. The cost for the 5-dose treatment of remdesivir is $3,120.00, and sales are expected to exceed $3.5 billion in revenue. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a drug with no patents due to being in the marketplace with a perfect safety record for over 35 years and with a cost of about $20 per dose, was condemned by U.S. public health officials like Dr. Fauci as supposedly being ineffective in treating COVID. Gilead's remdesivir was given fast-track approval instead, and demand initially sky rocketed. But now, apparently the supply of remdesivir exceeds demand. That should change now that President Trump is using it, after initially taking HCQ as a preventive measure. As we have previously reported numerous times here at Health Impact News, Frontline Doctors and thousands of doctors around the world have successfully treated COVID patients with HCQ and many report a 100% success rate. I wonder how all of these doctors feel now, since most of them felt like President Trump was on their side since he had previously recommended HCQ? The demonization of HCQ in favor of Gilead's remdesivir has led to tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths, according to many doctors, making Dr. Fauci, FDA Commissioner Dr. Hahn, and others, complicit in mass murder. Are these Big Pharma mass murderers now forcing President Trump to promote their drugs to ensure his success in the elections?

              Is President Trump’s “Illness” Really a Commercial for Regeneron’s New COVID Drug?

              The same day it was announced that President Trump was tested positive for COVID, it was immediately announced that the President was being administered a new experimental COVID drug, Regeneron's REGN-COV2. Business journals apparently already had press releases ready about the drug, and the company's stock immediately went up on Friday. FiercePharma, one the Pharmaceutical companies' main marketing trade publications, was one of the first to publish the story: "In a bombshell development Thursday, President Donald J. Trump tested positive for COVID-19, sending shockwaves through the country with just weeks until Election Day. One unanswered question was how the president's physicians would navigate an uncertain treatment course—and an unproven antibody cocktail from Regeneron is now in the spotlight. Trump's personal doctor confirmed Friday that the president was treated with an 8-gram dose of Regeneron's investigational antibody cocktail for COVID-19, dubbed REGN-COV2, along with aspirin and famotidine, better known as branded Pepcid. He's also taking zinc and vitamin D, two typical immune-boosting supplements. Trump's early treatment with Regeneron's cocktail was an immediate boon for investors with the drugmaker's stock trading up around $20—or 3%—in after-market hours Friday. An eventual clean bill of health for Trump could go a long way to boosting confidence in Regeneron's therapy, which is already raising hopes of $6 billion in sales per year—assuming it can secure the FDA's approval." Regeneron does not even have emergency use approval yet. FiercePharma also reports that Regeneron's CEO Len Schleifer has been a guest at the White House during the pandemic.

                Walter Reed Doctors Are Endangering Trump’s Life

                If media reports are correct, the president is receiving 2 experimental drugs: the antibody cocktail, Regeneron, and the antiviral, Remdesivir. Aside from their individual adverse effects… THESE DRUGS HAVE NEVER BEEN STUDIED FOR THEIR COMBINED EFFECTS ON A PATIENT. AND NOW THAT PATIENT…THE FIRST PATIENT RECEIVING THEM…IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. The adverse effects of Remdesivir are more than worrisome. Acute kidney injury, for example. And this drug has only emergency authorization, and it’s explicitly for patients who are SEVERE COVID cases. Trump is not a severe case. What’s going on? Why are the Walter Reed doctors piling on? The other drug, Regeneron, the antibody cocktail, synthesized versions of mouse and human antibodies, is still in clinical trials. There is NO authorization for its use. In past trials of antibody drugs, highly increased infection has occurred. Very dangerous. And pray these doctors don’t suddenly opt for a ventilator. They could do that, if Trump’s condition worsens, because of the effects of the DRUGS. They will call those effects “serious COVID decline.” In a large New York study of COVID patients in Trump’s age group, 97 percent of the patients receiving ventilator treatment died.

                  ‘Michigan Is Now Unlocked’: State Supreme Court Strikes Down Emergency Powers Law

                  The Michigan Supreme Court on Friday struck down a 1945 law that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) has been using to keep the state locked down since April. Whitmer has repeatedly extended a “state of emergency” for the past several months and pointed to a World War II-era law to do so, most recently lengthening it until October 27. But today, the basis for the ongoing lockdown was ruled unconstitutional. The Court concluded the Emergency Powers of Governor Act: …is in violation of the Constitution of our state because it purports to delegate to the executive branch the legislative powers of state government–including its plenary police powers–and to allow the exercise of such powers indefinitely. As a consequence, the EPGA cannot continue to provide a basis for the Governor to exercise emergency powers. “Michigan is now unlocked,” Fred Wszolek, spokesman for Unlock Michigan told Breitbart News.

                    Coronavirus: Crushing and Silencing Doctors of Conscience

                    With the weather getting colder, people in Canada and all around the globe are witnessing a rising incidence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Prime Minister Trudeau was quoted as saying during a speech to the people of Canada the following: “The second wave isn’t just starting, it’s already underway.” Children are going to school in masks, just as everyone is forced to wear masks anywhere that’s indoors in some places. As the struggle worsens, people fear the return of spring-time lock downs and all the hardship springing from it. Provoked by daily reports by politicians, chief public health officers, and the mainstream media, people might be understandably terrified. On the other hand, there are rational voices singing from the hymn book of sober second thoughts. These voices belong to people called doctors. As we reported in our last show, Doctor Sucharit Bhakdi in his book, Corona, False Alarm, laid out how the evidence of the panic was unreliable, how the COVID 19 was in fact no worse than a typical flu virus, and how the lockdowns cause more difficulties than the disease itself. There are many, many more doctors also raising their voices calling for their nations and the world to rethink their COVID strategy. They are particularly effective in Europe. These include a petition signed by 2662 doctors and medical practitioners in the Netherlands, a public conference made up of 400 doctors in Spain, a Corona Extra-Parliamentary Inquiry Committee  made up of about 500 Doctors and scientists in Germany, and a public letter from Belgium signed by over 1500 people in the medical and scientific community. Sadly, these people cannot get their voices in regular media.

                      Study: Woman Suffers Brain Injury from COVID Cotton Swab Test

                      Back in August this year we published an article written by Makia Freeman of The Freedom Articles titled:  "Are the COVID Tests a Way to Surreptitiously Infect or Implant People?" The very long cotton swab used for some of these COVID tests is very unusual, prompting speculation as to why such a long cotton swab is necessary.  I asked a retired medical doctor at that time who is known to Health Impact News about what Makia was saying in the article regarding the need for long cotton swabs penetrating so far into the body, and this doctor replied: "There is no valid reason for swabbing the naso-pharynx so deeply that it causes pain and injury to the extreme back and roof of the nose. Whatever microorganisms are there are distributed throughout the entire nose and throat. They are supposedly easily communicated by a sneeze, hence the 'need' for masks.. You don’t have to go digging for them. You could even blow your nose into a tissue and that would be a sufficient sample to culture." Yesterday, October 1, 2020, a new study was published in JAMA Otolaryngology, documenting one case where a woman suffered a brain fluid leak after doctors punctured the lining during a coronavirus test. Surgery was required to repair the leak. The title of the study is "Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak After Nasal Swab Testing for Coronavirus Disease 2019."

                        University of California Retreats on Mandatory Flu Vaccine After Lawsuit Filed

                        As you may know, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and I (with the able assistance of Children’s Health Defense chief legal guru Mary Holland, Physicians for Informed Consent’s human vaccine encyclopedia aka Greg Glaser and San Diego ace litigator Ray Flores) filed an injunction lawsuit to stop the University of California’s (UC) executive order requiring all students, faculty and other employees to get the flu shot by Nov. 1 or face not being able to work or register for class. The most outrageous part of the executive order, and the part that befits the constitutional phrase of something which “shocks the conscience,” was the fact that students were treated differently from faculty and staff in two important respects. First, unlike staff and faculty, students did not have a “religious accommodation” (more about that later). Second, while faculty could remote teach and staff could remote work and not have to take the shot, remote learning students still had to get the stick. That seemed to me to be a textbook equal protection and First Amendment violation. Whatever idiot UC lawyer came up with that should have to take some con law CLE (continuing legal education). Well, it seems like the UC has finally opened its con law books (and with all its law school libraries, it’s about time). The UC filed its response to our motion (and there are a lot of papers, but more about that later) AND GUESS WHAT? TWO DAYS AGO, THE UC (apparently secretly so far) ISSUED A NEW EXECUTIVE ORDER REVISING THE MANDATE! And, guess what it doesn’t have in it? Correct, students are now treated the same as faculty and staff, well sort of.

                          “The COVID Vaccine Should be Tested on Politicians First. If They Survive, the Vaccine Is Safe. If They Don’t, Then the Country Is Safe.”

                          Polish Author, Monika Wisniewska, suggests that: “The vaccine should be tested on politicians first. If they survive, the vaccine is safe. If they don’t, then the country is safe.” Sounds like a joke, but it isn’t. It is dead-serious. One may want to add to this very sensible proposal that the very first to be vaccinated with his own Moderna human genome-altering vaccine, should imperatively be the czar of vaccines, Bill Gates. But no special fabrication for Mr. Gates. The real thing. Controlled by independent honorable virologists, immunologists and DNA-specialized biologists. 

                            Gates Foundation Seeks to Dominate Africa’s Food Systems

                            The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation awarded another $10 million last week to the controversial Cornell Alliance for Science, a communications campaign housed at Cornell that trains fellows in Africa and elsewhere to promote and defend genetically engineered foods, crops and agrichemicals. The new grant brings BMGF grants to the group to $22 million. The PR investment comes at a time when the Gates Foundation is under fire for spending billions of dollars on agricultural development schemes in Africa that critics say are entrenching farming methods that benefit corporations over people. On September 10, faith leaders in Africa posted an open letter to the Gates Foundation asking it to reassess its grant-making strategies for Africa. The letter cites the Gates-led Alliance for a Green Revolution (AGRA) for its “highly problematic” support of commercial seed systems controlled by large companies, its support of restructuring seed laws to protect certified seeds and criminalize non-certified seed, and its support of seed dealers who offer narrow advice about corporate products over much-needed public sector extension services. “We appeal to the Gates Foundation and AGRA to stop promoting failed technologies and outdated extension methods and start listening to the farmers who are developing appropriate solutions for their contexts,” the faith leaders said. Despite billions of dollars spent and 14 years of promises, AGRA has failed to achieve its goals of reducing poverty and raising incomes for small farmers, according to a July report False Promises. The research was conducted by a coalition of African and German groups and includes data from a recent white paper published by Tufts Global Development and Environment Institute.

                              Australian Politician Calls for Criminal Trials of Health Bureaucrats who Banned Hydroxychloroquine as COVID Cure

                              Craig Kelly MP, a member of the Australian House of Representatives, has claimed that Health Bureaucrats have "engaged in crimes against humanity and they should be taken to the criminal court in the Hague," for their ban on hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), which has been shown to cure COVID patients by thousands of doctors in the U.S. and around the world. Sky News Australia has published an interview with the MP: "Liberal MP Craig Kelly says the ban placed on COVID-19 treatment hydroxychloroquine by Australian bureaucrats violates the Hippocratic Oath taken by doctors and is based on a study since proven false. Mr Kelly said health bureaucrats interfered in the doctor-patient relationship by prohibiting the use of hydroxychloroquine even if the doctor thought the treatment would save the patient’s life. Health bureaucrats have 'violated the very first principle of the hypocritic oath' which is to ‘do no harm’, he said. Mr Kelly told Sky News technically bureaucrats should only ban the use of hydroxychloroquine if the evidence shows beyond all reasonable doubt that firstly, hydroxychloroquine doesn’t work and secondly, that it is dangerous. 'Recent studies show that proposition is no longer sustainable … and they must lift their bans otherwise they are engaged in crimes against humanity and they should be taken to the criminal court in the Hague,' he said. 'They are withholding medical treatment from Australians that the evidence shows can save their lives.'"

                                Washington Mom Fights to Get Son Back Who Was Wrongfully Taken Away Due to Her Medical Cannabis Treatment

                                A Washington couple, Sophia Rosas and Sean Kilkenny, of Bremerton, have been fighting for their two boys for the last 2 years. Not knowing how to speak for herself in court, Sophia was allegedly manipulated and coerced by her public defender to do what the CPS social workers at the Washington Department of Children, Family and Youth (DCYF) told her to do. But now Sophia has found her voice, learned how to file her own court documents, and she says since she began representing herself, “Everything is changing so fast!” Prior to firing her attorney, Sophia says that she felt coerced and intimidated anytime she disagreed and wanted to challenge what the Department was saying in court. She says she was not ever truly informed of her rights under The United States Constitution or even the Washington State Constitution, both of which require due process, including a hearing with witnesses and evidence, in order to restrict parental rights. Sophia says she doesn’t know what is going to happen in court on Wednesday, September 30th, but that things are definitely different. She feels that she is being treated with much more respect since she fired her inadequate attorney and took over her own cases. Sophia is obviously nervous, but says she believes that “justice will be done, either now - or later if I am forced to appeal to the higher courts.” She says she will never quit fighting to bring BOTH of her boys home, no matter how far she must go. “They should be home with me, where they belong… I will never give up my babies.”

                                  Mandatory Mask Wearing Is Silent Terrorism Meant for Psychological Submission

                                  Since when is depriving the body and mind of oxygen, and breathing in expelled carbon dioxide (CO2) good for the health of humans? Since when is wearing a partial face covering that is multiple times more porous than can protect against any virus penetration helpful? Since when is hiding all expression from others not psychologically damaging? Since when is it legitimate and not hypocritical for the state to outlaw Muslim women from wearing head and face coverings that are part of their culture, and in the same breath force all Americans to cover their faces with a mask? Since when does any politician have any right to dictate to an entire population that they have to wear masks or any other type of clothing? Since when in this day and age did absolute slavery of all become a mainstay of American society? This is a purposeful state exercise with the intent of destroying the spirit of the American public, leaving only a society of unfeeling and obedient drones awaiting the next order handed down from on high.

                                    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Opening Florida Due to New CDC Numbers Showing Very Low COVID Death Rates

                                    The Centers for Disease Control have come out with a new estimate of the Covid infection fatality ratio and the numbers will shock you. No wonder the Florida governor has said "enough is enough" and decided to open his state up completely. We are told to trust the CDC, so why is the mainstream media ignoring this very important news? Is this still about a disease...or is it politics? Also, YouTube has censored Dr. Paul's Liberty Report, and is threatening to remove their entire channel.

                                      Prominent Medical Doctor Arrested in London Protests: “What Kind of a Country Have We Become?”

                                      Protesters in Trafalgar Square, London were standing up for freedom of expression and human rights. Heiko Schöning, MD a prominent German medical doctor who heads Doctors For Truth, an organization of more than a thousand doctors who oppose government fearmongering, was arrested in Trafalgar Square, London for speaking against draconian government measures. He noted that the people in Germany know, from their Nazi history where government restrictions on personal freedom and medical dictates lead. In June, Facebook censored a video presentation by Dr. Schöning in which he stated that: “the corona is just a type of flu that occurs at a certain time each year, and the strict measures that have been introduced, allegedly have nothing to do with the virus but only caused panic. The corona panic is a simple deception, mafia trick and crime.”

                                        The American Dream was Always a Lie – The Path of Christ is a Lonely, Difficult One

                                        "We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God." (Acts 14:22) When the apostle Paul wrote the above statement, he had been stoned to death. Or least, that is what his enemies thought. "Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe. They preached the good news in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. 'We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,' they said." (Acts 14:19-22) Like Jesus before him, Paul was upsetting the ruling class that controlled the local politics and the economy, by preaching that one could have direct faith in God through his Son, Jesus Christ, apart from religion and the religious rulers. It was a message that empowered the common person. It was the message of the Kingdom of God that Jesus preached. The way to God, the way to the truth, and to the life, is a path of suffering, humiliation and shame. It is the same path Jesus walked when he took on human form and came to live a human life within the flow of human history. It is a way that led to Jesus' own death, a necessary, sacrificial death to save the world. We are now called to follow the same path, the narrow path that may also lead to our physical death, as we look to the better life that is yet to come. Quite a different picture than the picture of the "American dream," isn't it? Since the end of WWII and the beginning of the "Industrial age" and now the "technological age," the myth that has been perpetrated through the invention of television and their programming and American propaganda education is that the American dream is real, and obtainable by anyone. And that the enemies of this American way of life are other nations who are jealous of our "freedom" and therefore hate us. Bull crap! This is, and always has been, a lie straight from the pits of hell, and the father of lies, Satan. America is not the promised land. America is dead. Judgement is coming, whether you are ready for it or not.

                                          Placer County California Reopens Businesses, Schools, Churches in Defiance of Gov. Newsom, and COVID Incidents Decrease – Model for Rest of California?

                                          Kirk Uhler is the elected County Supervisor for the 4th District in Placer County, California. Placer County made news earlier this month (September, 2020) when the Board of Supervisors voted to remove all the COVID pandemic measures, allowing businesses, schools, and churches to re-open, risking losing state funding for defying Governor Newsom. As can be expected, Big Pharma interests kicked into high gear to protest the County's actions. Placer County Health Officer and Public Health Director, Dr. Aimee Sisson, for example, resigned from her position. Kirk Uhler streamed a Facebook video this week exposing the lies in a Sacramento Bee's article that blamed the unanimous Board resolution on "anti-vaxxers." In Uhler's video, he shows how New COVID cases, county residents hospitalized, positive test results, and cases per 100,000 have all dramatically DECREASED since the Board passed their resolution, which of course should silence all of their critics, except that those who want to continue "emergency" dictates indefinitely really do not care about statistics, or the truth. Other counties throughout California should now follow suit, and put the health and lives of their constituents as first priority over the tyrannical State Government's desire to continue destroying the economy of California, and any potential loss of COVID funding (which can be challenged in court as well).
