Unser Hafen

Der kleine Hafen Langballigau an der Flensburger Außenförde ist ein Kleinod in landschaftlich reizvoller Lage. Er ist heute geprägt durch Segelboote – seine Bedeutung als Fischereihafen ist stark zurückgegangen. Aber immer noch geben einige Fischerboote ihm sein besonderes Flair – natürlich gibt es da auch Fisch direkt vom Kutter.

Die geschützte Lage des Hafens trägt zu seiner Rolle als  Nothafen  bei. Die DgzRS hat hier ihren Rettungskreuzer  Werner Kuntze  stationiert. Das Anlaufen des Hafens ist problemlos auch bei Nacht möglich (Richtfeuer – Kurs 177). Allerdings neigen die etwa 2,5 m tiefe Hafeneinfahrt und der Hafen selbst zur Versandung. Besonders ungünstige Windverhältnisse können den Wasserstand um 0,5 m und mehr senken. – Freie Liegeplätze sind mit einem grünen Schild gekennzeichnet.

Es gibt mehrere Gaststätten am Hafen; Versorgungsmöglichkeiten sind vorhanden direkt am Hafen bzw. im Ort selbst (300 m – 2000 m): Supermärkte, Ärzte, Tankstelle, Baumarkt, Bootszubehör, Post, Campingplatz.

Seit einigen Jahren wird der Kreishafen Langballigau von der Firma Jaich verwaltet. Ihr Hafenmeister ist telefonisch unter 04636 – 976265 erreichbar.

Langballigau als Ortsteil des Luftkurorts Langballig bietet dem naturverbundenen Gastsegler nicht nur einen kinderfreundlichen, unmittelbar am Hafen gelegenen Sandstrand. Das Naturschutzgebiet Langballigau lädt zu ausgedehnten Spaziergängen und Wanderungen ein. Das sehenswerte historische Dorf Unewatt (Landschaftsmuseum Angeln) mit dem Marxenhof, der Buttermühle und der Mühle  Fortuna  ist zu Fuß in einer halben Stunde zu erreichen. – Bis zum Ortszentrum von Langballig sind es vom Hafen aus ca 2 km. – Auch die weithin sichtbare Mühle in Westerholz (Gaststätte) lohnt einen Besuch.

Nach Westen kann man durch den Wald (Langballigholz) und am Fördeufer entlang über Bockholmwik (Naturbadestrand – Bootshafen) weiter bis zur Halbinsel Holnis (z. T. Naturschutzgebiet – Badestrand) wandern. Für Radfahrer empfiehlt sich eine Fahrt auf dem Ostsee-Küsten-Radweg nach Glücksburg (Besichtigung des Wasserschlosses), vielleicht sogar bis Flensburg (schöne Hafenstadt, Schiffahrtsmuseum am Museumshafen, reizvolle Gassen und Höfe) oder in Richtung Osten nach Neukirchen (herrliche Aussicht, Kirche). Dabei belohnen den Fuß- oder Radwanderer immer wieder reizvolle Ausblicke nach Norden auf die Förde mit der dänischen Küste oder in andere Richtungen auf die durch ihre Knicks geprägte Landschaft Angelns. Hier kann man wirklich Leib und Seele entspannen…

Und wie kommt man in die große, weite Welt? – Es besteht eine Busverbindung von Langballigau nach Flensburg; den beliebten Fährverkehr nach Sonderburg gibt es aber leider nicht mehr…

Journey of the Magi Summary & Analysis by T. S. Eliot

• Line-by-Line Explanation & Analysis
• Poetic Devices

• Form, Meter, & Rhyme Scheme
• Line-by-Line Explanations

"Journey of the Magi" is a poem by T.S. Eliot, first published in 1927 in a series of pamphlets related to Christmas. The poem was written shortly after Eliot's conversion to the Anglican faith. Accordingly, though the poem is an allegorical dramatic monologue that inhabits the voice of one the magi (the three wise men who visit the infant Jesus), it's also generally considered to be a deeply personal poem. Indeed, the magus in the poem shares Eliot's view that spiritual transformation is not a comfort, but an ongoing process—an arduous journey seemingly without end. The magus's view on the birth of Jesus—and the shift from the old ways to Christianity—is complex and ambivalent.

B.A. English (Minor: Creative Writing), B.F.A. Fine Art, B.A. Art Histories

‘Journey of the Magi’ by T.S. Eliot is a three-stanza poem that is separated into sets of lines that vary in length. The first stanza contains twenty lines, the second: eleven, and the third: twelve.   The poem does not have a structured rhyme scheme , although there are a number of instances in which end words or phrases repeat . This creates a sense of unity in the poem which is only emphasized by the speaker ’s direct storytelling.

The poem begins with the speaker listing out all of the troubles he and his men faced on their way to the manger in which Christ was born. The weather was freezing and there was hardly any food or shelter. Every time they came to a town they were turned away. Even the camels were suffering.  

In the second stanza, the men get to where they were going and find it to be simply, “satisfactory.” The manager has no great presence but that doesn’t mean the experience wasn’t important.  

The true impact of the journey and meeting comes after the men have returned home. They are no longer the people they were before they set off. The speaker states that he longs for a second death through which he is able to join God.

Analysis of Journey of the Magi

‘A cold coming we had of it, Just the worst time of the year For a journey, and such a long journey: (…) Sleeping in snatches, With the voices singing in our ears, saying That this was all folly.

In the first stanza of this piece the speaker, who is one of the traveling Magi, starts the poem by giving a broad overview of the journey he and the other Magi embarked on. It was not a pleasant trip. They had a “cold coming…of it.” The men were forced to deal with terrible weather that made everything harder. The speaker reflects on the days of travel as having occurred in the “worst time of the year / For a journey. Due to the fact that they could not choose when they traveled, they had to face these conditions.  

The next two lines expand the details of their journey and the troubles they had to face along the way.  

The ways deep and the weather sharp, The very dead of winter.

The men were not the only ones who suffered at this time, their camels, which were made to walk through the landscape bearing the men and their supplies were “galled, sore-footed, refractory.” They eventually ended up “Lying down in the melting snow.”  

It is interesting that the poet chose to begin this piece, which is about the birth of Christ, in such a way. It does away with the image of majestic beings riding in to visit the child, instead, they are painted as deeply human. They suffered just as anyone would traversing the countryside. The speaker even states at one point that “There were times we regretted,” or missed, “The summer palaces…the terraces…And the silken girls bringing sherbet.” These were all elements of their home which were familiar to them and without which they were made to travel.  

The following lines, which are crafted in an ever-worsening list, describe a litany of problems the men faced. There were the “camel men” who were often “cursing and grumbling.” At points, they even ran away from the camps seeking out “liquor and women.” The campsites were often cold as the fires went out, and there were no “shelters” to keep the men and animals dry.  

In addition to these troubles with nature, they faced “hostile” cities and “unfriendly” towns that were unwilling to help them. The men had a “hard time…of it.” By the time they got to the end of their journey, they had learned to prefer traveling at night. This way they could avoid the worst that the landscape, and the cities it held, had to offer.  

There were even times, on the way to meet the son of God, that they said “this was all folly.”

Then at dawn we came down to a temperate valley, Wet, below the snow line, smelling of vegetation; With a running stream and a water-mill beating the darkness, (…) But there was no information, and so we continued And arriving at evening, not a moment too soon Finding the place; it was (you might say) satisfactory.

In the second stanza, a few changes come over the party of travelers. The speaker describes a “dawn” in which they “came down to a temperate valley.” This is a landscape that is quite unfamiliar to them as they had spent so much time traveling through such terrible conditions. The valley is “below the snow line” and it smells “of vegetation.” It is clear from these first lines that they have come to a much better place.  

There is running water and a “water-mill beating” in the dark. Eventually, the men make their way to a….  

Tavern with vine-leaves over the lintel.  

They inquired at this tavern, looking for information about Christ and they received none. The men continue to travel and “arrive at evening.” It was the speaker states, not a moment too soon. Everyone was close to their final breaking point having faced hunger, terribly cold weather, shelterless nights, and inhospitable towns. One might expect the speaker to revel in his arrival to the manger where Christ was born, this is not the case.  

He says that the pace they finally came to was “satisfactory,” nothing more. This could be a reference more to the physicality of the place rather than the momentous nature of the occasion, but either way, it is a strikingly drab and depressing way to describe the moment.  

Stanza Three

All this was a long time ago, I remember, And I would do it again, but set down (…) But no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation, With an alien people clutching their gods. I should be glad of another death.

In the third stanza, the speaker halts his description of the journey and moves on to describe how he feels about the entire experience now. It is clear he has terrible memories of the trip, but what of the manager itself?

He begins by saying it was “a long time ago” but that he would “do it again.” It was, at least in his mind, a journey worth undertaking. It is at this point in the poem the speaker directs a question to his listener to whom he is telling the story. He asks,  

..were we led all that way for   Birth or Death?

He knows that there “certainly” was a “Birth.” This is the case as there was “evidence and no doubt,” but what of the death? In the next lines, he equates birth and death. This particular birth was so painful to the Magi and their companions that it was “like Death, our death.”  

After the trip was over they “returned to [their] places, these Kingdoms.” When they arrived there and attempted to settle back into the lives they once knew and loved, they were “no longer at ease.” Everything had changed for them. The men did not feel comfortable in this world in which “alien people [were] clutching their gods,” when they had seen the true God.  

The poem concludes with the speaker stating that he would be glad to die another death. Perhaps this one could bring him to his final rest alongside God.

ummm…Not sure what this means…

What was the pivotal point of T.S.Eliot’s life that persuaded him to write this poem?

I’m afraid I don’t know enough about Eliot’s life to say. Hey is not a poet I have studied in great detail and it is not something I can readily or accurately answer, I’m afraid.

Eliot was born Protestant, had converted himself to Anglo-Catholicism. The agony of parting with one faith and embracing another was what influenced the composition of this poem.

Thank you for adding this.

This is great stuff helped me a lot..

Amazing. Glad we could help.

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

That’s what we like to hear.

Stanza explanation

I’m not sure what you mean by this.

This is a remarkably facile analysis (if it can be called that) of one of the most profound poems ever written. No analysis of the imagery of the “three trees on a skyline” or the people “dicing with silver”, which both foreshadow Christ’s death. it makes no attempt to show how Eliot captures the voice of the speaker through the subtle variation of the underlying iambic tetrameter rhythm. The comments on the last lines – where the Magi realises that the birth of this new God overthrows his whole belief system (“our death”) – leads to him wishing for death, as it ends the pain experienced by witnessing this new birth. His is a religion “clutching their Gods”. It ia little more than a paraphrase, and a poor one at that.

Feel s good

i’m sure it does!

Journey of the Magi by T.S. Eliot Summary Context Themes Explored in Journey of the Magi by T.S. Eliot Analysis of Journey of the Magi by T.S. Eliot Studying this Text for the HSC

Summary of Journey of the Magi by T.S. Eliot

The message behind T.S. Eliot’s poetry can sometimes be a bit tricky to find! Especially since his poems use a lot of complex metaphors, symbolisms, and language features to create meaning. 

Journey of the Magi is essentially a dramatic monologue from the perspective of a Magus — one of the three wise men who left their life and travelled to Bethlehem to pay homage to infant Jesus. Through the three stanzas of the poem, the Magus narrates the spiritual journey they undertook and the challenges and obstacles they faced along the way. 

Of course, this is just a broad summary of the text. The deeper meaning of the poem is actually up to interpretation! You’ll find that the best analysis will come from using your own personal ideas and interpretations to argue what you think the poem is about.

Understanding the context surrounding the text is super important when it comes to analysing Journey of the Magi! Especially since it is often considered as one of Eliot’s deeply personal poems. 

Personal Context

T.S. Eliot wrote Journey of the Magi soon after his dramatic conversion to the Anglican faith in 1927. With his conversion, T.S. Eliot was inspired by religion and the idea of religion as an ongoing journey rather than a ‘cure’ or solution.

As a result, unlike many of his preceding poems, Journey of the Magi interrogated concepts of religion, rebirth/enlightenment, and spiritual growth. This marked a major shift in Eliot’s poetry as all of his poetry following this were informed by notions of spirituality and his religious beliefs. 

Historical Context

The poem also reflects many features of Modernist literature and is largely inspired by T.S. Eliot’s historical context. 

The Modernist movement emerged in the aftermath of World War I as society tried to cope with the death, tragedy and trauma that came from the war. Modernists were very disillusioned by the war and considered the world to be meaningless, futile, bleak, faithless, and pessimistic.

Modernism also saw a loss of faith in science and reason, instead emphasising individual, subjective experiences. Written in 1927, Journey of the Magi was influenced by a lot of Modernist ideas, particularly the alienation, isolation and hopelessness of the modern world. 

Themes Explored in Journey of the Magi

Here are some of the key themes and concepts explored in Journey of the Magi:

• Death & Rebirth
• Spirituality

The main overarching idea of the poem is spirituality and death/rebirth, so it’s important that you discuss these themes to achieve a sophisticated, complex analysis of the text! 

Journey of the Magi is an allegorical poem — this means that it uses symbolism to communicate a deeper hidden meaning. With the literal journey of the Magi from a pre-Christian world towards a new spiritual world, T.S. Eliot essentially conveys how religion is a way to transcend this life through the death of one life — one faith — and the rebirth of another.

However, rather than seeing rebirth and spiritual conversion/transformation as a ‘cure’ or solution, the poem describes it as a difficult, even painful process. 

The form of the poem is really important when it comes to exploring this key theme. Written as a dramatic monologue from the perspective of a Magus, the poem is quite unique and different to the established, traditional poetic form.

It takes place over three stanzas, each one representing a different stage of the journey.

The first stanza narrates the most difficult aspect of the voyage and the challenges of spiritual growth and rebirth, while the second stanza continues on with the journey as the Magi reach their destination.

The third and final stanza shows the Magus reflecting on the journey and his narration, trying to figure out its meaning. Through this form and structure, Journey of the Magi interrogates this theme of spirituality, death and rebirth. 

How to Analyse Journey of the Magi in 3 Steps

Now that you’re familiar with the context and themes of the poem, it’s time to start analysing it! You might be tempted to jump right into writing your essay, but first, you need to make sure you have a strong foundation.

This is where your analysis comes in! Analysing your text will give you a great foundational understanding of the text and help you access those top marks when it comes to actually writing your essay. 

Let’s take a look at 3 easy steps for analysing Journey of the Magi! 

Step 1: Choose your examples

Finding good examples from your text will bring a lot of depth to your analysis, so it’s really important to start with this step! After all, examples are the key evidence to support your thesis . 

For this analysis, we’ve chosen two quotes from Journey of the Magi as an example: 

“And running away… And the night-fires going out…And the cities hostile and the towns unfriendly…And the villages dirty”   “Then at dawn we came down to a temperate valley… smelling of vegetation; with a running stream…”

Need help finding good examples? We’ve got 50 important T.S. Eliot quotes to help you out! Check out the list of quotes here .

Step 2: Identify your technique(s)

When you are finding your examples, you also need to identify techniques which can be analysed to expand your argument. Techniques help you dig deeper into the meaning, messages, and key ideas of the poem and will help you talk about what your example actually does — its effect. 

Try to find more than one technique within your example and maybe even look out for any techniques that connect multiple examples! This will make it easier to develop a holistic and sophisticated argument. 

In the examples above, the techniques we’re looking at are polysyndeton, juxtaposition, and imagery. 

If you’re struggling to find techniques, check out our literary techniques cheat sheet here !    

Step 3: Carry out the analysis

Now that we have our techniques and examples sorted out, it’s time to put it all together! 

When it comes to analysing a text, the important thing to consider is the effect of the technique and how this is linked to a broader idea. Think about what the composer is trying to convey and the techniques they used to achieve this. 

You don’t want to simply restate the quote and label techniques like this: 

Eliot uses polysyndeton to create the imagery of “ running away… And the night-fires going out…And the cities hostile and the towns unfriendly…And the villages dirty” to explore the difficulties of the journey and the challenges of modern, urban life.   

Instead, try to flesh it out so that it looks more like this: 

The first stanza explores the physical difficulties of the journey to convey the challenges of modern, urban life and spiritual growth. This is evident with Eliot’s description of “running away… And the night-fires going out…And the cities hostile and the towns unfriendly…And the villages dirty”, which uses polysyndeton to overwhelm the reader with a culmination of ideas that reaches its peak with the imagery of a hostile urban environment. This is juxtaposed by the beautiful imagery of rejuvenation and birth with “a temperate valley… smelling of vegetation; with a running stream…” to suggest a progression from a hostile urban life towards a spiritual experience of rebirth. This juxtaposition elucidates Eliot’s exploration of spirituality as a challenging yet inevitable journey towards rebirth and enlightenment, which reaffirms the idea of transcending a Modernist futile existence through religion.

Journey of the Magi (1927) is the first of Eliot’s Ariel Poems, published the same year as he was baptized and confirmed in the Church of England. It shows the profound influence of the seventeenth-century churchman Lancelot Andrewes. The account of a journey (that is actually a “journey to Understanding,” which is the first Christmas, at which point all time changed), this supposedly straightforward poem begins puzzlingly with a (modified) quotation from Bishop Andrewes that thus fractures the time-frame of the Magus’s account. The words from Andrewes, though offered as a quotation, are changed to reveal an unreliable voice different from the Magus who then speaks, affected and changed by what he has seen. In reporting and emphasizing the difficulties encountered, the Magus reveals the (difficult) way of Christianity itself .

Journey of the Magi Analysis: Subject Matter, Themes & Poetic Devices

Topic: Journey of the Magi Analysis – Summary, Subject Matter, Themes and Poetic Devices

Remember that Journey of the Magi is one of the prescribed Non-African poems every WASSCE candidate must study for the period 2021 – 2025.

T.S. Eliot: Journey of the Magi

The term Magi refers to the three wise men who followed the star from the orient (east) to come and pay homage to the infant Christ born in Bethlehem.

In this tutorial, you will discover all the key points you must learn to give an excellent answer to any question on the poem, Journey of the Magi by T.S. Eliot.

Background Information: Journey of the Magi

Thus the poem was inspired by Eliot’s spiritual life in the Church as well as other significant events in his life.

Subject Matter: Journey of the Magi

Structure: journey of the magi.

The poem has three stanzas.

Stanza One: The Journey, the Suffering and the Uncertainties

It was a very long and difficult journey. Even the camels they journeyed with felt the painful effects of the wintry weather.

Thus, the magi initially regretted embarking on such a journey.

Stanza Two: Arrival at the destination – Finding the Place

But even this discovery hadn’t cleared all feelings of doubt. The satisfaction they now experienced was incomplete.

Stanza Three: Acknowledgement of spiritual rebirth

The theme of spiritual rebirth and renewal.

For the persona, there can be no renewal and strengthening of one’s faith without going through this painful process. But like everything worthwhile, the end justifies the means.

The Theme of Change

The theme of the effects of historical events on society.

Journey of the Magi goes beyond the level of the individual. Apart from being an exploration of the individual’s spiritual journey in search of renewal of faith, it also addresses the profound effects of historical events on whole societies and cultures.

Other Themes Worth Noting

Poetic devices to note.

The poet takes the biblical story of the journey to Bethlehem by the three wise men at the birth of Christ Jesus and uses it to explore his spiritual journey toward an acknowledgement and renewal of faith.

Diction and Imagery

Through a careful selection of words and phrases, the poet succeeds in evoking images that are appropriate to the major themes he explores.

Images of suffering and hardship

Dead of winter

Night fires going out

Bitter agony

Images of doubt

Images of hope and respite, freshness and renewal.

These contrast sharply with the previous references (in the first stanza) to the hardship and pain they had to endure at the early stages of the journey.

Beating the darkness

Related Posts

Sound devices, alliteration.

Cold coming

Door dicing

An example of repetition in Journey and the Magi is the use of “and the” several times in the first stanza. Its effect is to emphasize the theme of suffering as an integral part of the journey of faith.

I should be glad of another death

This is the very last line in the poem. It underlines the profoundly satisfying effect of this spiritual rebirth on the persona.

By t.s. eliot, journey of the magi quotes and analysis.

“And arrived at evening, not a moment too soon/Finding the place; it was (you may say) satisfactory.”

This could be interpreted as the haughty, snarky view of kings looking down upon the stable in which Christ was born. But some scholars have seen in it a reference to Article 31 of the Anglican Articles, in which Christ's sacrifice "satisfies" the debt of all mankind’s sins, making the word resonate in a totally different way: the place is "satisfactory" because, being the place where Christ is born, it will lead to the "satisfaction" of our debts—i.e., the salvation of mankind. We should also realize that the opinion of the reader—presumably a Christian, especially given that this poem was originally sent out as a Christmas gift—could be different from that of the Magus. “You may say” that Christ being born is a satisfactory occurrence—but for the pagan Magi, it is in fact a calamity, given that it marks the end of their way of life.

“but set down/This set down/This: were we led all that way for/ Birth or Death? There was a Birth, certainly,/We had evidence and no doubt./I had seen birth and death,/But had thought they were different; this Birth was/Hard and bitter agony for us, like Death, our death.”

The “but” introduces a qualification to the earlier affirmation of the value of the journey. The Magus follows it with the urgent plea, repeated twice, to “set down this.” (That means “write this down”). Then we get the central question of the poem: “were we led all that way for/Birth or Death?” He assesses the historical fact of Jesus’ birth. He relates this to his past experience with birth and death and says that he “had thought they were different.” Birth and death are usually figured as opposites. But his emotional experience of Christ’s birth was ironic: “this Birth was/Hard and bitter agony for us, like Death, our death.” This experience has changed his view of the fundamental meaning of life and death, and made them synonymous. It reflects the painful paradox at the heart of Christianity: Christ was born to die. The capitalizations of Birth and Death in these lines grants a deference to Christ. The second “death” in this line is not capitalized, as it refers to the Magi’s death. It sets up a contrast: the Christ’s “Death” is more important than the Magi’s “death.” This must refer to a metaphoric death, since the Magus speaks while he is still living. The birth of Christianity is also the death of the old ways of Magicians.

The best golf clubs in moscow: luxury, exclusivity, and entertainment.

By Walter Raymond

February 24, 2015

• The Best Golf Clubs in…

In Russia, the western concept of building architecturally beautiful golf courses filled with modern and luxurious amenities has found fertile ground. What was considered a frivolous pastime during the time of the Soviets has become the latest trend for the stylish set. These days, there are countless options around Moscow to practice golf, polo, ski, yachting, and other sports alongside 5-star hotels, luxurious country houses, and magnificent villas.

The game of golf is a sport that requires passion and expertise. It is also part of a culture that considers this pastime a synonym of social prestige and exclusivity. In recent years, the new Russian elite has turned to golf as a vehicle of integration in the era of globalization. Golf courses are also meeting and socializing spaces where Muscovite tycoons can relax and also seal business deals.

Golf Courses in Russia

The Moscow Country Club, Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club, Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club, and Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia are some of the most exclusive and elegant golf courses in Russia. Some of them have made it to the list of Top 15 golf clubs in the world, a source of great prestige for the country.

Moscow Country Club Moscow Country Club

The first 18-hole golf course built in Russia, Moscow Country Club, hosts the exclusive PGA European Tour. Located just eight miles from the city center, this luxurious facility was created by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr . The design takes advantage of a typical Russian birch and spruce forest to provide a natural environment of extraordinary beauty.

Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club

The Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is 18 miles from the heart of Moscow, close to historical monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries. Designed by famed architects Paul and Dave Thomas , this 18-hole course is part of a complex that includes a yacht club, an equestrian center, and a health and wellness facility. Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is Russia’s version of a classic country club with multiple attractions.

Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club

This park is among the best in Eastern Europe and was awarded the 2014 World Golf Award as the best golf course in Russia. Located 25 miles from Moscow, it is part of a vast complex featuring an 18-hole golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus , a polo club and a mountain ski club with four tracks. The design combines classic Scottish, Alpine, and English features in a dreamy landscape.

Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia

Less than 60 miles from Moscow, this golf course with a definite Scottish design is the only one in Russia recognized as a PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) from Britain and Ireland. Located in an ecologically pristine area on the banks of the Volga River, the Zavidovo Golf Club embodies the spirit and appearance of the legendary Scottish golf courses. Its many springs and streams, hills, forests, swamps and lakes justify its reputation as a very demanding circuit. Last year, it entered the exclusive club of the 15 best golf courses in the world.   ■
