COMMUNICATION HANDSHAKEFirst of all, the photojournalism projects were very well done. What impressed me particularly was the "eye" you brought to the images, the way in which you handled the framing, but more importantly the evident pleasure so many felt as they explored our community. Thank you. There were a couple of folks for whom we ran out of time, and unfortunatley I do not have access to the smartboard rooms this week. As well, there were those who were not ready when called upon. SO...any day before school, please come to 176 to present. Any projects not completed, and that goes for the previous photographer project, by this Friday is a 0. Some folks are 0 for 2 and that's not good.
ARE WE RAFTING ON MONDAY APRIL 26? MONIES / PAPER WORK DUE. I MUST HAVE THE DEFINITIVE LIST TO TURN INTO THE OFFICE AND NURSE BY WEDNESDAY AM.
Moving on........ we are going to watch two lecture presentations. Your assignment is to attend the lecture and write a critique of what you have heard. This is similar to reviewing a theatre production or concert. It is not subjective like a restaurant review. You might need to do some further reseach on the slow movement, after listening to the lecture and before writing the article.
The first lecture is Carl Honore's In Praise of Slowness. Listen carefully once only; and take copious notes. Approach this similarly to writing a critical analysis, as in there is statements, proof (his words / examples) and an analysis statement.
Here is your link: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/carl_honore_praises_slowness.html
Due at the close of class Tuesday.
I think that Carl Honroe in Praise of Slowness covered an issue that is very important in the community. Honroe at first had me confuse on his logic on time, but at the end of the speech I’ve gotten his point on slowness and going fast isn’t they right way in life. Honroe point throughout his whole message was that life is stuck in fast forward. In our society we try to cram so much in so little time and that’s why we don’t get stuff done with fifty percent of our energy. In our society we try to use slow as a bad word; for example slow means you are lazy and bad. We try to describe speed as fun and sexy. Being busy equals speed. Ben Franklin once quote, “Living the fast life, instead of living the good life.” Honroe quoted, “Sex isn’t a stopwatch anymore.” Other countries like Asia are starting slow movements. In America there is a good slow and a bad slow. For example good slow is to eat dinner with your family and enjoying life. Bad slow is driving slow on the highway. Teenagers in America grades have dropped 20% over the past ten years because our country lifestyle is in the fast lane. If we as a community just take a break and move life much slower a lot of people won’t be thinking money is the cure to save their life. Honroe overall point throughout the speech/presentation was to slow down. I like his logic and his way of thinking about time and I would slow down much more for my many more years of living life.

ReplyDeleteCarl Honore on Slowness
Carl Honore had a very good argument on why going slower is better. “Living the fast life is not living the good life”, he said this and made a point by bringing it into his life. He was angry with himself while reading his son bed-time stories because he would try to go very fast and have the book done and was often un-happy. Then he decided to take things slower because his son was unsatisfied and he began to realize that reading it slower makes things more calm and a better Father to Son relationship. In his lecture he said that reading these stories slower he had the chance to have conversations and a better environment for his son to open up and talk. Honore realized after a whole of reading slower his son enjoyed bed-time way more.
The lecture was mainly based on the quote “stop and smell the roses”. Honore wanted to tell people that when you move fast then u can’t see the good things in life. Then questions like how slow do we go, or is going too slow a bad thing, so then Honore said that if you are going to slow and you can’t get what you have to done then its going to slow. He is just trying to say that when you stop and take a minute to relax on your spare time you will be able to see many of the good things in life other then just fast paced chaos.
There have been movements such as the slow food movement to help people slow down and enjoy their food instead of going fast and having a stomach ache after. There have been thoughts of movements for young children to have less homework and not be so stressed out. Carl Honore hopes that one day everyone will want to stop and smell the roses.

ReplyDeleteListening to Carl Honore’s lecture was very interesting. He brought up good and valid points, and confirmed things that I’ve been feeling for a long time. I often feel that I’m doing too many things, that I need to slow down and savor my time more. I always feel tied to time, like I’m a train running on a very tight schedule. And I don’t think this is just me – in our culture, it is natural for people to be doing many things. As Honore said, we have a “culture of speed”, a “roadrunner culture”.
As someone who does move very fast, I do agree with Honore that this can be unhealthy. Too often time and energy causes our tasks to be less than stellar accomplishments. We have so many things to do that we cannot give our full attention to any one of them. Those who make the greatest attempt at everything end up losing sleep, and eating quickly – or worse yet, not eating at all. “By slowing down at the right time,” Honore says, “people do everything better.”
Eating quickly is one of the biggest problems of fast moving societies. People who eat quickly often end up eating more than they’d like to, or eating more unhealthy food. Honore gives tips on how to get out of these fast eating habits, through something he calls the “slow food movement”. By taking the time to make their own meals and eat slowly, sitting down, people will enjoy their food more, and eat the right amount for themselves. For families that move too quickly, taking the time to eat dinner together can give everyone a chance to cool down, and can help to strengthen the family bond. Even with all the work and activities each member of my family has to do, we try to take the time to eat dinner as a family whenever possible.
When asked the question “Is it possible to slow down?”, Honore’s answer is an overwhelming “YES”. It may take some time to get people out of the fast moving mindset, but I think that slowing down could be very good for society. It will give people the chance to spend more time with family and friends, and to enjoy the little things in life. Just like Honore, by slowing down people can be “happier, healthier, and more productive.”
According to Carl Honore he supports this slow movement 100%. By listening to the video it made me realize that everything that he said was so true. I have never heard of the slow movement until I watched the video but it makes a lot of since. Carl stated that people move fast not even realizing that they are doing it because they do it on the daily basis. So that tells me that I need to slow down and take my time doing the things that I do. Many people speed through eating, driving, reading, and ect. Well due to us people living in the fast life also seems to burn people out, and takes a toll on our bodies. Carl stated that since the time is very scarce that we seem to speed things up even more. This is very true because sometimes it’s like we have an agenda, and things that need to be done in a certain period of time with such little time to do it. This is the cause of speeding things up. Sometimes speeding up things is okay but sometimes it’s not when you lose fate at what you are doing because you are not taking your time. Think about it: when you move slower things seem to be better as Carl said. When someone is doing an activity is they move slower than usual then most likely they are going to get more out of it then if they were rushing through it. There are many slow movements such as the slow food movement that is in Italy which Carl stated that when food is eaten slower then bodies consume it better. I think that everyone deserves a break because things could be forgotten when things are rushed. I also believe that if people take their time they will get more out of something due the focus being better. Some people have been so used to the fast life that they just can slow it down. Well at least they think that. It is possible for people to slow it down. When you slow down people seem to be happier, productive, and calm. Slowing things down may also show peoples inner feelings. Life is not meant to rush through, and by slowing down people can actually live the life that they are supposed to live. Also by slowing it down a person may be able to make a better decision due to them being able to think, and slowing down can save your life because rushing it may not. Take your time to live life, and you may explore more, and better things as you go on.
ReplyDeleteSlow movement examples
1. Slow travel-connection to culture.{so people and places can connect}
2.Slow cities- help people value the slow life
3.Slow food- helps people consume food better, and enjoy more
4.Slow schools-education is delivered in a slower way {easier to learn slowly}
5.Slow living- living a mindful life { connect with life}
Carl Honore discussed the Slow Movement in his lecture which is basically the practice of slowing down your life and taking the time to enjoy the things that you usually rush through. For example, Carl Honore rushed through his son’s bedtime stories and he learned that if he slowed down both he and his son enjoyed them more. He also claims that slowing down can improve your health. This is definitely true because people are often in such a hurry that they don’t even think about what they are putting into their bodies. People go for what’s fast, especially fast food, even though it is bad for them. If people take the time to think about what they are eating and actually enjoy preparing it, the food will not only taste better but it will be better for them. Eating dinner as a family rather than on the go can also strengthen family relationships.
ReplyDeleteHonore also says that if we reduce our workload and even work shorter hours, productivity will increase. If employees aren’t as stressed they will be able to get more done, they will get more rest and they will enjoy life more. He also feels that this should apply to children. He believes that there should be a homework ban. Honore says that children are so stressed by the amount of work that they have to do that they really have no time to do anything else if they want to keep their grades up. He says that the students accepted at Harvard often lack personality and spark because of the amount of work that they do. Honore says that these students need to take a break and slow down; they need some down time to just be themselves.
Honore says that the United States as a whole has become too focused on time as “a finite resource” we feel that time is always running out and to fight it we speed everything up. Honore says that we are in “a race to the finish line that we never reach.” This is because most people don’t take the time to enjoy their lives before it’s too late.
Carl Honore’s lecture was about the slow movement and how it’s relevant to our lives. It was about how everyone wants to do things faster and faster, because our “world is obsessed with speed”. This is very true people have there days packed and planned down to the every second sometimes this is wat too much if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteThe international slow movement began in Italy, in cities the slow down has caused people to connect with one another again. People now work fewer hours in other countries and this is making people happier and gives people time to recharge. Some schools have ban extracurricular activities on certain days of the month and homework giving the children more time to recharge.
The slow movement is a good thing because it leads to people being to savor the little moments in life; such as family dinners and time together with other people in person and not over the computer or telephone. And the effect on people’s health and relationships are all for the better.
Honore believes that “slowing down was the best thing ever” this is after he reconnected with his son and his son told him he was the best story teller. I think it is a possibility that it will take hold in the United States it just a slow moving movement and takes time to adjust to this way of life in which we all have forgotten about.
Carl Honroe started his lecture by saying that life is stuck in fast forward. He is saying that everybody's days are filled with trying to cram too much in to too little time. He states that people are, “living that fast life instead of the good life.” Time is scarce now-a-days and people are too occupied in achieving everything in one day instead of taking time off everyday to relax. People believe that, “faster is always better, busier is best.”
ReplyDeleteTo try and get people to slow down there are many slow movements. Two examples are the slow food movement, and the slow sex movement. Many countries, mostly in the eastern hemisphere, are participating in the slow food movement. This encourages people to cultivate, cook, and eat food at a slow pace which will allow more enjoyment. Currently Italy is the only country participating in the slow sex movement. Honroe says, “Even sex in on a stopwatch these days.”
Every day people need a certain type of break time from the business to allow their brain time to recharge and participate in creative thought. Along with adults, children are now rushed too. At some schools across the country and across the world, homework and extra curricular activities are banned on certain days of the month, usually only one day a month. With this slowing of work, math and science grades have gone up 20%.
“Slowdown!” is a movement that Harvard started with their freshman. This allows them time to fully enjoy their college experience at the school. It is a letter that tells the under graduates to pace their selves. “Less is always more, slower is better.” Today there is a, “Taboo against slowing down,” and there is too much speed and business.
I never really looked at today’s society being "so fast" but after watching the video, I definitely could relate with what was being said. Epically when he talked about rushing threw reading a bed time story to his son. I have tons of little cousins and there constantly asking me to read to them and I do, but I always skip words and pages just to get it done and over with, but why? Reading is something that should be enjoyed especially with others. It’s not like there asking me to take them outside or to do something that I can’t. What confuses me the most is how we got to this point? I feel that things have been like this for so long that people don’t even notice it and because of that it will never change. Another comment made during the presentation was “speed is fun speed is sexy” which is true but there are certain things that we should take are time on. I cant say that I will slow down with everything but I will try to take the time out to do so on things that matters the most.

Carl Honore’s In Praise of Slowness, was a lecture dedicated to the slow movement. This relatively new movement is spread across the board as it affects food, sex, work and life in general. The modern day world is a fast-paced world and quick fixes are always being invented and used. Honore says that although people can continue to do things that give them an adrenaline rush, sometimes it is better to slow down. Relationships can become deeper, food can taste better and work can be accomplished more efficiently. People now are living the “fast life instead of the good life,” as Honore puts it, and people need to slow down.
Although the slow movement is international, the fastest countries are in the Western Hemisphere. People in the West consider time to be linear, always being wasted or being spent. Even Ben Franklin said “time is money.” Because of the thought that time is running out, people do things as quickly as possible so that they do not waste time. In the Eastern Hemisphere, people think of time as cyclical, always renewing itself, and therefore these people have a different approach, and tend to do things slowly.
Honore says that the movement should apply to almost all aspects of life, but he splits it into several different categories. The first category is known as the slow food movement. Farmer’s markets, organic food, and home grown food play a big part in this movement. Cooking slowly and eating slowly make the food more enjoyable and healthier than quickly eaten food. People usually feel unsatisfied after eating food quickly and resort to eating more food. Next, the slow city movement is made to make people enjoy city life, and slow down. Benches are placed around the city to literally make people “stop and smell the roses.” Also, city streets are redesigned to make sure that people don’t speed while on them. This creates a more relaxed feel within the city. The third part of the slow movement has to do with modern day medicine. People always want quick fixes even when the best medicine may simply be relaxation or sleep. Healers and acupuncturists have popped up everywhere as part of the slow movement. “Even sex is on a stopwatch these days,” says Honore. He believes that the orgasm is better when slowed down and enjoyed. Work is a big category within the slow movement. People in America work ridiculous hours and never seem to slow down. Studies have shown that productivity is increased when people work less hours and are not exhausted and overworked. Kids and teens these days have more homework and extracurricular activities than ever before. This can be overwhelming, especially for children in this developmental stage. Because of this, many schools are banning homework on a certain day or at a certain age, to let kids slow down, relax, and be kids.
Honore admits that speed is fun, sexy and filled with adrenaline and that the word slow can have bad connotations. People can think of slow as a word for slacking off or even being dumb. However, there is good and bad slow. The slow movement works to increase the good slow, the relaxation slow. Everyone needs a good balance of slow and fast in their lives to keep from going insane. Honore’s lecture was filled with information on this movement, and he presented it very well. He threw in humor, and keep the audience alive. Although he made a lot of emphasis on the slow movement, he also made sure to show that fast isn’t always necessarily bad and that people just need to find the balance between the two in this increasingly fast-paced world.

ReplyDeleteThe slow movement started by Carl Honore is a world wide movement now to slow down activates that people do everyday “It is a cultural shift toward slowing down life's pace” Carl states, because world tries to become faster not understanding that it doesn’t always mean better. Carl clams “the world is stuck in fast forward” and explains that we have gotten to this point because of the way we are brought up. The idea of “Use it or lose it” is one example drilled into kid’s heads form preschool to college.
Carl also talked about food and the work place, stating that because everything is done so fast mistakes are made and bad decisions happen. Also the quality of work is decrease along with your health which will lead to problems, if not already happing to your body. Carl states that people “fail to notice the toil it takes on your health” and that if not changed it will lead to “a burn out, sickness, or a breakup in your personal life” Carl says to fix this is not that hard but it will require more time but the outcome will be better. Stating its as simple as cooking your own dinners, eating with your family, and in the workplace working less hours which will lead to better productivity.
He admits that it will be hard for the world mostly the west because “speed is fun and sexy”, because people think if you are slow you are lazy, but mostly because people don’t want to think and slowing down makes them think. Carl stated it’s possible and better for you. Saying it can be accomplished and is simple like using roundabouts, walking to work, eating with your family, cooking and growing your own food. All of this makes people feel healthier and better off, leads to better sex, and lets you step back to look at all angles of a problem. Simply he try’s to say “less is very often more.”
The lecture by Carl Honore's In Praise of Slowness has a great point. Slow is a word many people think as stupid or retarded. However he talks about the slow that’s good for people. Some examples include personal health, and relationships. Its true people don’t realize the things around them, and due to their schedule it’s hard to notice them. The lecture very thought out of how he put in some comedy into his lecture, it keeps the audience awake, and concentrated rather than wondering off into space or sleeping. He also adds in stories of his life which gives a heart warming moment. The lecture overall was like a Hollywood movie and still gave his words across about slowness. Its correct on how he says slowing things down will contribute to health. For example in health you can only eat a serving size per meal, also to fell full it must take time for the stomach to gives that signal. However people eat too fast to notice which then cause obesity, and an abnormal schedule. For relationship wise it’s a normal human reaction by wanting to have attention, but attention must be needed at times. For example quality time with the family, it can contribute a good childhood for the children instead of so much stress.Though there are many things that contribute to slowness, however there are some things that can’t be slowed down. For example in business, school, and etc. As he said “Time is Money.” It is a renowned quote by Benjamin Franklin. Many of the working class people cannot be slowed down or even try to relax. Their work requires them to work fast and get things done. For example factory workers they have to find the quickest way to mass produce products that are going to be sold. There are thousands and millions of people who will buy this product, and if the workers slow down it will cut the cost of their pay because they are not earning as much from the number of products they make. Instead it would lead to cuts in jobs, because the main people cannot pay that much.School cannot be slowed down either it’s on a time schedule and to slow things down it will just extend the time.
ReplyDeleteUpon watching the lecture regarding the art of slowness, Carl Honore decided to become the poster boy of this movement by writing a book based upon theories probed by the slowness movement. According to Honore, the slowness movement is not exactly what we as a society have come to think of as slow in the negative sense. Instead he describes slowness in way that is can be beneficial to not only our society but to each individual personally.
ReplyDeleteCarl Honore did a great job in delivering a topic that can seem so taboo in a society that has seemed to thrive off of what he is speaking against. In his delivery, he spoke in ways that were intriguing, informative, but ultimately affective for his audience to understand where he was coming from. Also it was evident that he was able to appeal to his audience emotions by tying in personal areas of his life that were affected by this movement. Honore’s lecture was also affective due to the way he organized his thoughts and stories which flowed seamlessly throughout the presentation. At first he started off stating why this topic should even matter to us and the road a head if we continue down this route. Then he goes on to state how we can fix these problems within spectrum of the movement itself.
Lastly I myself completely agree with Honore’s thoughts and the thoughts of this movement. Consequently I would like to apply some of these ideas to my own life.

ReplyDeleteThe whole idea about slowing down is familiar to me. I think that we should take this idea iinto consideration. When i was listening to Carl Honore's lecture it reminded me of Supersize, how a guy got extremely over wieght by just eating fast food in a fast time. American's now a days don't take the time to enjoy our meal and comsuume it to fast that we aren't getting full...to be cntinued
The Slow Movement lecture presented by Carl Honore, explores the idea of a “good slow.” A “good slow” in which one puts aside their busy schedule and takes time out to relax, clear their mind, and simply savor life. In presenting his ideas he uses analogies, humor, yet a serious tone. Connections with his own personal life and the irony of how the movement is spreading fast.
ReplyDeleteSo often, as he explains, time is being rushed and pushed to the limit. People worldwide cram in as much work as they can in a single work day in order to get things accomplished.
“Time is money,” a renowned quote heard a lot. This quote pertains heavily to working class people who are exhausted and drained of energy in trying to provide for both their families and themselves. “You either use it or loose it.” Time is precious and this speaker does a fine job in getting that point across. “Hurrying through our lives,” people never seem to have the time to cherish the moment and create precious memories. Instead tender moments are rushed.
“Time,” there is just never enough time. What struck most was the speaker talking about the fact that some people waste their entire lives rushing through time and then come to find out that they are terminally ill. Others rush through and miss out on milestones in their life, the life of their child, and / or friend.
The only question everyone is left with is: “Is it desirable to slow down?” I believe it can be done.

The Slow Movement
In Carl Honore's In Praise of Slowness lecture he discussed how our society has taken on a “road runner form of living” and constantly tries to fit as much into the day as possible. With this style of living our society has lost much of the best parts of living and has forgotten how being slow can help you appreciate the little things in life. Honore begins his lecture with how he himself, a “renounced speed-oholic”, realized that this fast paced lifestyle was in fact worse. In the lecture Honore goes on to discuss how our culture became so fast, discuss other movements that focus on the benefits of slowness and how this fast paced life affects students.
I completely agreed with Honore’s lecture of how slow is better but I believe it would be much hard to pull off than Honore lets on. As he says in one of his arguments the American society is based on this fast paced lifestyle. The belief that time is money and you can either use or lose it has been programmed into our heads since we’ve entered school. To break free from this belief you would have to be able to somehow show people that by slowing down your not becoming lazy or not using your time wisely your simply slowing up and actually helping yourself produce better in home and at work.
In short I believed that the slow movement is a great movement that I hope becomes popular. It was be great to actually be able to relax while doing work without being too worried about meeting unrealistic deadlines and then actually being able to sit understand what your doing.
Carl Honroe on the Slow Movement
ReplyDelete“A world obsessed with speed” is how Carl Honroe describes society today. He jokes of a fast pace world filled with speed walking, speed writing, speed dating, and even speed yoga. Although his lecture was filled with humor his message was a serious one, the world needs to slow down.
Living a fast pace life or in the “Road Runner Culture” can lead to serious issues in ones life. Body burnout, relationship issues, or even a lack of quality time with family can be a result of this lifestyle, as Carl Honroe described when speaking of “bedtime stories”. The mindset of most Americans is time is money, so the consensus usually is the faster thing can be done the better. But is the quality of life sacrificed in this speed-obsessed world?
Many believe the answer to this question to be yes leading to “The International Slow Movement”. From organic foods to alternative forms of medicine, the Slow Movement is a growing one that is helping the world to take a step back to stop and smell the flowers. Studies have shown that the quality of life (whether pertaining to sex, work, or school) improves when we have time to recharge. Just simply taking more breaks throughout the day or having less homework give people a chance to slow down and process what has happened through out the day.
It would be ideal that the world as a whole could simply slow down but this is not as easy as it may sound. As Carl Honroe said “Speed is sexy”. We are in a culture full of fast cars, one-night stands, and 10-day diet plans. We as a people want thing done fast and want instant gratification. Moving at a constant pace of 100mph keeps us distracted from our problems, not giving us time to process our problems and work them out rationally. As Carl Honroe stated, “we must unleash out inner tortoise”

The Slow Movement
4/13/10
The lecture In Praise of Slowness by Carl Honore was very well executed and made a clear message about a relevant issue in today’s society. He accurately pointed out that today we live in a world obsessed with speed, cramming, and instant gratification and insinuated that this hectic lifestyle takes a toll on one’s health, work, relationships, and environment. His lecture was centered around two key questions, “How did we get so fast?” and “Why is it so hard to slow down?”.
Some explanations he gives for our accelerated tendencies are urbanization, industrialization, etc. but he also explains the contrast of how different societies view time. He believes that because western societies tend to view time in a linear perspective where it is always draining away and running out, (in contrast to other cultures who view it as cyclical and replenishing), there is a pressure to beat the clock and a race to the finish line. Honore demonstrates the atmosphere in other countries such as Italy where a “Slow Movement” has been launched to counter the speeding society. There are slow food movements; to focus on cultivating, cooking, and consuming food at a slower pace, slow city movements; to change urban design and settings to promote a more relaxed, leisurely speed, and there are even slow sex movements championing making unhurried love. Additionally, a large tide of people turning back to natural and traditional forms of medicine as opposed to the modern quick fixes found in prescriptions and pills.
Honore acknowledges that finding a slower pace can be egregious quite a challenge, many times due to the cultural taboo we have against slowing down as if it symbolizes laziness or unproductiveness. He also proposes that aside from the thrill of fun, sexy, adrenaline that rushing can provide, many people might also use distraction and busyness as a crutch in order to avoid focusing on deeper, more difficult questions.
Overall I must say I thoroughly enjoyed both the content and delivery of the lecture. It was coherent in its organization, presented with humor, and discussed a pressing and relevant issue in the lives of all contemporary individuals.
elisabeth's pisani's lecture on HIV makes sense. The efforts to prevent HIV from spreading seems to be working but one of the main tools for spreading HIV is sharing needles. So really if the heroin abuses slows down so will HIV. This is not going to happen but making needles available is much easier and probable. The US is endlessly reviewing the functionality and benefits of providing clean needles but they're not doing anything to help the situation . until action is taken nothing good is going to come, the problem is getting worse. An this is where she comes in talking about politics

ReplyDeleteCarl Honore's lecture In Praise of Slowness was a very valuable and relatable speech. He brought up many valid points concerning thee speed at which many of us live our lives these days and how it is affecting our well being. This is a close subject to me as I take pride in doing things slowly. I don't always receive positive reactions to the way I chose to live my life, which is mentioned in the lecture.
ReplyDeleteHonore says that slow is often interpreted as stupid or lazy in today’s high speed world. What people don’t realize is, they don’t need to have everything instantly. We don’t need to send someone an email on our blackberries while driving on the highway and eating Mcdonalds. We don’t need to switch our brains to completely different subjects every 45 minutes or so in school.
He does not mention anything about education in his lecture. He also failed to mention the very deep moral roots that hide our speed addiction. It is human nature to want to have the best and to be the best. In today’s world time is money. In today’s world money is power. All people want is more and more power; more and more money. Faster and faster.
People forget that living is something you do once. It shouldn’t be spent in lightspeed. Relax. Smoke some dope. Put on a record and chill the fuck out. It is the most therapeutic thing you can do after a day of sprinting your mind all over the place. This guy has the right idea, but I think his lecture is missing some key components to living life slowly. Keep it up dude.
