Opposing Resettlement Of Syrian/Iraqi Refugees
Some Democrats touted a different approach, promising legislation in the Senate
to tighten a visa waiver program that intelligence experts say can be exploited
by Islamic State terrorists or others planning US attacks.Some Republicans have
said some refugees could be terrorists bent on attacking the United States,
noting reports that at least one Paris attacker may have slipped into Europe
among migrants registered in Greece.Islamic State terrorists released a video on
Thursday threatening the White House with suicide bombings and car
blasts.
Denouncing the "spasm of rhetoric" over refugees, Obama said refugees
already faced the most vigorous vetting process
Lycra Fabric for anyone
admitted to the country."This is an area where additional scrutiny and reforms
could be useful in enhancing the national security of the United States," he was
quoted as saying. An aide to Ohio Republican Senator Rob Portman said his office
got 2,710 calls between Monday and Wednesday opposing resettlement of
Syrian/Iraqi refugees in the United States, versus only 58 in favor.The US
Department of Homeland Security said members of two Syrian families - two men,
two women and four children - turned themselves in to US authorities in Laredo,
Texas, on the Mexican border."
To ask me to have my FBI director or other members
of the administration make personal guarantees would effectively grind the
program to a halt," Lynch told reporters at a news briefing with FBI Director
James Comey. He said it was important to act quickly "when our national security
is at stake.Earnest said White House staff was talking with members of Congress
on reforming the program.Lawmakers have been receiving an unusually large number
of calls on the issue.
Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan said the bill would
pause the program the White House announced in September to admit 10,000 Syrian
refugees over the next year.Ben Carson, a leading 2016 Republican presidential
candidate, likened Syrian refugees to "a rabid dog running around your
neighborhood," and said admitting them would put Americans at risk.It would
require that high-level officials - the FBI director, the director of national
intelligence and homeland security secretary verify that each Syrian refugee
poses no security risk. It now goes to the Senate, also controlled by
Republicans, where its prospects remained uncertain."
After the House vote,
Obama's attorney general, Loretta Lynch, called such screening both impractical
and impossible.'Spasm of Rhetoric'Speaking in Manila after meeting with Canada's
prime minister, Obama said America had always been open to allowing people from
war zones to find refuge in the United States, where they become "part of the
fabric of American life"."The White House had said Obama would veto the House
bill because it would introduce .
"unnecessary and impractical requirements" that
would hamper efforts to help some of the world's most vulnerable people without
providing meaningful additional security for Americans.Senate Democratic Leader
Harry Reid said there was "no way" the House bill would pass in the Senate.While
many Americans see the United States historically as welcoming to immigrants,
accepting refugees from Syria has raised concerns the newcomers may pose a
national security threat in a country where about 3,000 people were killed by al
Qaeda terrorists in the September 11, 2001, attacks.

Colourful Anita Dongre Dress
She also seemed very comfortable in it and with the weather and everything, the
silhouette, the fabric as well as the colours were very apt. The dress was so
comfortable and breezy that it made her look like the perfect tourist with a
penchant for fashion!†Urvashi Kaur agrees and adds, "It was very much in the
vibe, very casual and had this really bohemian touch to it. As the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spend their first day in
India, fashion circles are abuzz with the Duchess’ style choices.
The fact that
she kept the sensibility of Indian aesthetics in mind and chose to wear a
brightly coloured gown while in India instead of the typically grey, white or
black gowns that they usually wear in Britain is something that I really admired
about her.â€Finally, the cobalt blue evening gown by the
Wholesale jacquard
fabric Duchess’s favourite British designer, Jenny Packham, drew a fairly
mixed bag of reactions, much like the McQueen ensemble.Ever since the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, have landed on Indian
turf, fashion circles have been abuzz about the lady‘s elegant style
choices.
Kate Middleton shines in an Anita Dongre tunic dress as she pays a visit
to Banganga tank Mumbai with Prince William. She always looks fairly flawless.|
NANDINI D. Kate looked extremely charming and down-to-earth in it, which I
personally found very appealing.
It’s tough to fault her, actually, because
she’s a very safe dresser in general, but there is something deliberately
understated about her that suits her very much. It was nice to see her enjoying
colours, silhouettes and prints a little more here. I also thought she was
styled very well, very elegantly. Rishi Raj, who feels that the choice of this
particular Anita Dongre dress served to make monarchy more relatable and
accessible, affirms, "I totally loved Kate’s choice of the mint and berry-hued
Mughal-inspired tunic dress. It would have added another dimension to her look.
This looked like a fairly regular red carpet appearance and she looked older
than she really is too. While Anupama avers that the red Alexander McQueen
number wasn’t really Kate’s style and she would’ve preferred a minimalist Indian
garment instead, Nida feels that the silhouette was the real problem.
Beginning
with a chic Alexander McQueen ensemble with paisley prints and peplum detailing,
the Duchess went on to sport a relaxed and colourful Anita Dongre dress from the
designer’s recent ‘Love Notes’ collection as she paid a visit to Oval Maidan in
Mumbai to meet children from Indian charities, finishing the day off with a
cobalt blue style crescendo in a beautiful, intricately embroidered full-length
gown by British designer Jenny Packham. I would have preferred her in something
more modern and generic because the Thai silhouette is a bit out of place within
an Indian context,†she says.â€
Celebrity stylist Rishi Raj and designers Anupama
Dayal and Nida Mahmood beg to differ, however. "I’m not so sure about the blue
gown, to be honest,†Anupama says and adds, "See, she is a great model for any
garment so it’s hard to find fault in how she looks because there’s really
nothing that she doesn’t do justice too.â€I also thought it was a more playful
choice of attire as compared to what she usually wears back home in England.

A Model Displays A Creation
The Amazon India Fashion Week kicked off at Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium on
Wednesday, marking the start of the fall/winter 2016 presentations by several
Indian designers. A model displays a creation by Varun Bahl during the Amazon
India Fashion Week in New Delhi. (Photo: PTI) The Amazon India Fashion Week
kicked off at Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium on Wednesday, marking the start of the
fall/winter 2016 presentations by several Indian designers.
With Varun Bahl,
Gaurav Jai Gupta, Hemant and
Recycled Fabric
suppliers Nandita, Pallavi Mohan, Shantanu and Nikhil, Kiran Uttam Ghosh,
Rina Dhaka and Gaurav Gupta showcasing, day one was a mixed bag of wintery and
not-so-wintery collections in the bi-annual fashion fiesta.Jackets, bombers,
tunics, slim trousers and A-line skirts set the tone for Varun Bahl’s catwalk
show which featured his return to the ready-to-wear arena nearly after five
years. Known for taking inspiration from flora and fauna, Bahl stuck to his key
element – floral in his collection "Nocturneâ€. Borrowing the colour palette from
the tropical forests of Gauguin, the collection comprised ivory, beige, teal,
peach, mustard, olive, black, gold and pale rose. Gaurav Jai Gupta of Akaaro was
next and his collection, "Mumukshaâ€, was a sartorial concoction.
He proved that
he is still masterful at giving new shapes to coats, dresses, kurtas and dresses
made in India with the most traditional of fabrics. The designer shaped his
models with dresses, shirts and exterior capes using sheer silks, engineered
cottons, hand-woven merino wools, tussar as well as matka silks and created a
dramatic effect. Some outfits played with the idea of modern silhouettes in the
form of panelled dresses, kaftans, shirtdresses, etc. but a few like saris and
blouses were wedged to the traditional. Designer duo Hemant and Nandita’s show
was a riot of colours. With bright midnight blues, earthy browns, deep reds
playfully mingling with clashing shiny fabrics in a splash of gold, copper,
bronze and other jewel tones in the form of embroideries, the duo sent models
strutting down the catwalk in bold outwear with loose, droopy shoulder seams,
deep V necklines, strappy shoulders and high (really high) slits along with
oversized brushed wool and tweeds. Overall it was a fun collection and an
excellent testament to India’s eclectic fashion scene. Post the show, the duo
said, "We aimed at creating a practical collection and we hadused various kinds
of fabrics to suit different climatic conditions in the country.

Paying Close Attention To The Pattern
Textile artist Geeta Khandelwal rediscovers the traditional
Maharaja attire representing them in miniature form. Geeta was inspired by the
variety of fabric used in the Maharajas’ costumes. When textile artist Geeta
Khandelwal got bored of making quilts, which she has been doing for the last 40
years, she opens a book titled Indian Costumes In the Collection Of the Calico
Museum Of Textiles and got inspired by the costumes worn by the Maharajas of
India in the 19th century. Geeta then decided to make miniature versions of them
to scale. "
I was quite bored of making quilts, and one day I thought I should
make something different. Since I like making garments and have a feel for
textile, I started to make men’s garment in miniature through scale. It was a
challenge for me, because I started a new trend of giving tribute to the
historical costumes of Maharajas, but at the age of 75†says
Poly Spandex
fabric the artist.Geeta was inspired by the variety of fabric used in the
Maharajas’ costumes. "This is from the 1850s to the 1950s, India is very rich in
woven textiles, in hand block, printed textiles, in cotton, in silk, in brocade,
jamadar, mashru. So the Maharajas of India patronised some of these weavers to
make their everyday wear aka choga, or angrakha for the festive occasions,†says
the artist, adding that she sourced fabric from local weavers to get the
authentic fabric and print to match to those worn by the Maharajas.Geeta decided
to explore the royal men’s wardrobe exclusively, because she feels women’s
costume has been explored enough.
"Women’s costumes have been made by many
designers all over India, and sold for wedding trousseau and festive collections
for very high expensive prices, using our karigars and our skilled artisans to
make them,†she opines. "I started to make miniature garments only for men
because men and Maharajas were in the forefront in those years, they were the
ones who were exposed and shown to the public,†she adds.The artist, who spent
three years creating the exclusive collection, hand-stitched most of the
costumes, paying close attention to the pattern and hemming. She also added knob
buttons, tassels and embellishments. When asked about the challenged she faced,
Geeta says: "The most difficult part is putting on the sleeves and the collar in
tiny stitches, which could be six stitches to one inch because those days no
machines were used. We've kept to that style of working. No tailor was willing
to make such tiny garments because his fingers won’t fit into the sleeves, and
they were asking too much money. It was easier for me to make them,†she
says.While some garments are hand-stitched to stay true to the original style of
the Maharajas, others, which were influenced by the British, were not.

Brighter Range Of Hues
Fall will certainly see its fair share of sultry winks and full on sex appeal
but on the other side of that sartorial coin, it will also see the subdued,
ladylike skirt suits. Amal Clooney known for putting new life into the
nylon spandex fabricladylike
skirt suits Fall will certainly see its fair share of sultry winks and full on
sex appeal but on the other side of that sartorial coin, it will also see the
subdued, ladylike skirt suits. Designer Amy Billimoria says, "Sometimes the real
appeal comes from the mystery rather than the show and tell. It’s all about
self-confidence and fresh take on traditional styles.
There’s definitely a skirt
that fits you and the latest autumn trend of skirt suit is a classic that can be
pulled off by almost everyone. You can opt for several variations — from pencil
skirts with bias cuts teamed with dressy jackets, loose jackets teamed up with
straight fit skirts in linen, Prince of Wales printed jackets styled with mini
skirts, cropped sweaters and white button up, etc.†However, if you are pairing
a midi skirt with your skirt suit, then it can be tricky because a midi can
quickly make you look and feel a little frumpy, points out Vandy Mehrra,
director of SBJ. She quips, "Do everything you can to make your legs look longer
and slimmer. This generally means tucking in your top and wearing a pair of
killer heels. If you are going to wear something full at the bottom like an
A-line skirt then make sure that your top half is perfectly neat and fitted.
Anything too blouse-like is going to add bulk in many places, hence avoid. Long,
lean lines are the best, so keep the top tonal a similar colour to the bottom.â€
The art of mixing things up by wearing mismatched items is also a trend that has
many takers but Vandy cautions, "Do not make it too messy and over the board by
mixing too many different styles and colours. Strike a balance. Go for a
brighter range of hues that include ruby red, fuchsia, tangerine, pea green,
bright yellow or go for colour blocking techniques on warm palettes.†Adding to
the colour palette, designer Kiran Uttam Ghosh shares that smoking powder blue,
frost pink, frost coral, pistachio green, lavender, metallic shades, black and
white too are much in vogue. On the other hand, designer Natasha J. advises, "Mismatched could be anything: colour contrasts, colour
mixed with print or even print mixed with print. It totally depends on the
wearer’s personality and how each individual carries their version of
mix-n-match. For me, it’s always a safe mismatch if there is some common element
or colour in the separates in order for it to look bold yet perfectly in-sync.â€
Kiran, on the fabric front, shares, "The fabric decides if the skirt should be
worn on a formal or casual occasion.

The Ralph And Russo White Gown
As the world gushes and argues over Aishwarya Rai’s wardrobe at
Cannes Film Festival this year, another Indian actress making a mark of her own
on the red carpet is Sonam Kapoor.Sonam.jpgAs the world gushes and argues over
Aishwarya Rai's wardrobe at Cannes Film Festival this year, another Indian
actress making a mark of her own on the red carpet is Sonam Kapoor. Her style
choices through the festival so far — an Anamika Khanna dress, a blue and black
Rimzim Dadu sari, and three Ralph and Russo creations — have been receiving
dazzling praise in Indian and international fashion circles alike.
A few voices
from the desi designer brigade pick out their favourite looks.For Rina Dhaka,
the white Ralph and Russo sari-inspired gown that Sonam wore on Day 1, and the
black Ralph and Russo evening gown that she wore to the Chopard party were the
actress’s best looks this year. "Although she looked fabulous in all the looks
she donned, these two in particular would be my pick of the lot. She’s a
wonderful model and is more confident now than ever. You can’t really fault any
of her style choices. She’s an ultra tall girl with a good figure and a good
face — and she works that really well in her garment choices, especially in
terms of volume. She works the play of volume and fit very well,†she
affirms.Anupama Dayal agrees with Dhaka’s first choice and says that the white
Ralph and Russo gown with the half cape was the show-stealer. She avers, "Sonam
looked spectacular.
Polyester Knitted Fabric
factory I love the dramatic outfit and how the cape spread like a
magnificent bird’s wings.
No jewellery and straight hair with just a little eye
makeup worked very well for the whole look. It was a great example of something
experimentally grand and yet very classic.â€For Nida Mahmood, on the other hand,
it was the black and blue sculpted sari that stood out. "It was a very bold and
interesting choice. I quite like the futuristic fabric development that Rimzim
Dadu has done. Made of molten wires, this sari looked like a complete piece of
experimentation and reinvention. Sonam has a knack for knowing how to carry off
very out-of-the-box, experimental looks. The side-parted hair simply tied in a
bun really completed the effect of the whole outfit and the Suhani Pittie
jewellery made her look really edgy and cool,†she says.Design guru Adarsh Gill
agrees with both of them and adds, "This year at Cannes, Sonam’s choices have
been quite dramatic but really well balanced with the minimalist make up. My
personal favourite was the Ralph and Russo white gown. It was the right amount
of drama and simplicity and elegance, and she looked absolutely stunning.â€She
continues, "It was a statement-making piece, and a definite standout.â€

Bespoke Designs Like Modern Borders
If it's a classical house it is advisable to incorporate classical themes on
furnishings such as borders on the curtains similar to the cushions".Soft
furnishings are used differently in environments depending on their functional
requirements. Is it light or dark, small or big? For a small, dark space, you
probably wouldn’t use dark hues that can make the space seem even smaller and
wouldn’t reflect any light unless you are specifically aiming to create that
mood.
Poly
Spandex fabric Whether we are aware of it or not, colours have the capacity
to impact our mood and influence our physical and mental well-being.
Even a
miniscule change in furnishing can have a prominent effect on one’s life. so
choose well. Different colours have different wavelengths and, therefore, they
affect the endocrine system and consequently our mood and stress levels in
different ways.â€When it comes to homes, selecting colours becomes even more
crucial as they set the mood of a place."Similarly, if the house is modern it
should have subtle hints of bespoke designs like modern borders on window blinds
so set them apart from basic blinds,†he continues. For instance, red symbolises
passion, anger, power and energy; violet, on the other hand, represents
creativity and spirituality.Whether we are aware of it or not, colours have the
capacity to impact our mood and influence our physical and mental well-being.
So, It is really important how you play with colours here,†Rajiv Kanwar,
co-founder , Win-dow Passions expresses. Green and blue are often associated
with a calm atmosphere, while yellow brings joy and happiness.The role of
individual biases, especially when it comes to colour preferences, is considered
with equal emphasis. So how should one choose soft furnishing? When it comes to
deciding for these, fabric is an important component.
Rajiv explains, "In
bespoke furnishings, it depends on taste or theme of the house. Along with that
window blinds are preferred as they are easy to use and easy on the space.This
tendency of the human brain to associate colour with emotion depends on the
cultural context, however, colour psychology is quite universal (minus personal
biases). Therefore, the choice of colour in our homes is important.†Apart from
playing a major role in other aspects of the interior, colour and lighting is
equally important when it comes to choosing curtains, cushion and wall prints.
(Photo: Window Passion) The colours that we choose to surround ourselves with,
in our homes, play a larger role in influencing our mood and feelings than we
think. Jyoti Sobti, a psychologist, explains that research in neuroscience and
psychology has shown the effect that colour has on our brain and our hormones,
and, therefore, can affect our mood, behaviour and physiology.
A nicely styled
sheer curtain is preferred by a lot of people these days."A lot of people are
using linen fabric because of the fabric being light. For instance, red

represents creativity and spirituality. end-of Tags: psychology, endocrine

about one.Explaining the science behind this, Jyoti shares, "Light is made of
colours, and when it strikes our retina, it converts into electrical impulses
that pass onto the hypothalamus, which in turn affects our hormones. So, the
colours that we surround ourselves with on a daily basis can influence how we
feel, express, and live. But, if one is not a fan of big changes, people can
always make minor changes by introducing the use of various colours in soft
furnishing. Rajiv adds, "It is important to think about the space that you are
decorating.

Together Is Fashion Faux Pas
However, keeping things simple with jeans and jersey is a more measured way to
work on the trend. Hence, avoid such fashion conflict. It involves the use of a
laser, interference, diffraction, light intensity recording and suitable
illumination of the light recording. Off the catwalks and into the real world,
the high street too is getting on with this trend a la vivid multi-coloured
holographic foils cut into casual separates, Designer Lalit Dalmia explains, "Holography is a technique that
enables three-dimensional images or holograms to

look like a disco ball.
A transparent holographic garment can act as a layering
fabric. For example, choose one focal point and wear either stilettos, a chunky
neckpiece or carry a huge envelope clutch in holographic leather. Team them with
subtle, neutral garments. Although this futuristic trend was huge in the 90s,
its refined comeback reasserts the season’s fashion motto: minimalism.
"Experiment with different prints or colours for an array of effects. Neutral
materials covered entirely with minute tint clusters of transparent yet rainbow
sequins will also give you the sparkly appeal.
Holographic appliques and patches
can also add dramatic quotient to any outfit. You definitely want to keep the
rest of your look simple including your make-up.†Designer Sakshi Relan, on the
other hand, cautions that wearing two holographic pieces together is fashion
faux pas. However, if you are not feeling bold or confident enough to sport this
trend in your clothes, wear it in statement accessories, stilettos, sandals and
more mannish flats that have been given a dip in the molten and flashy
holographic details. Metallic works amazingly well with this trend

Hindi Filmstars In Bright Colours
Siddharth too plans to take the graphic face exploration to another
level. Experimenting is the best part of graphic interpretation on textile.
Previously, I have experimented with the collage formation on kaftans.†For the
silhouette he adds, "I would like to use brushstroke look or a watercolour paint
look and would certainly love to design jackets, skirts or some structured and
futuristic garments for women in purely Western style.
Designer Shantanu Singh of
Next Episode makes his choice clear as he votes for Lady Gaga to adorn his
graphic faces-centred creations. I would prefer to experiment with images in
collages or graffiti feel, instead of going with one predictable image. "She is

the fact, designer Siddharth Saigal, of Wrap Studio, shares, "Graphic and quirky
prints have been experimented a lot this season.â€Relying on classic Hollywood
glamour, Payal mentions Marilyn Monroe as her "it†muse. A thought later, she
picks up screen goddess Angelina Jolie as her next option. The creative eyes are
fixed on the face phenomenon, and designer Payal Jain sounds pretty enthusiastic
about the trend as she says, "Graphic faces and images

are incredibly exciting to play with on the canvas of textile.â€
Taking the idea
further, the designer says, "I would love to recreate old fresco, murals,
paintings and textile impressions on fabric in digital, graphic mediums. The
two-way transition of faces on the fashion and political sphere continues to go
strong and each side looks happy with their interpretation.jpgStrike a pose and

S/S Fashion Week, they also created political waves as Pakistan’s Imran Khan’s
political party supporters are often seen endorsing his charismtic face in
checkered format on long tunics. One of my collections ‘Omana’ was inspired by
old Mughal paintings which were digitally printed on textured silks and woven
jacquards to create an old world feel with a new twist.
The trend has
beautifully bridged the gap,†reflects designer Suman Nathwani.†While the Che
Guevara, Bob Marley and Michael Jacksons of the world have enjoyed uninterrupted
endorsement on a mass scale, the niche brigade has also woken up to the idea of
making a haute face statement.TAB2. Now to focus on a single personality with
the inclusion of slogans and quotes sounds exciting,†he reveals. I am extending
the concept to scarves and shirts as well. My summer collection includes a
Bollywood collection in which the kaftans have images of Hindi filmstars in
bright colours. So if there’s a Che giving a revolutionary stare from a high
street T-shirt, the portrait is also enjoying a Dolce & Gabbana moment on a
high profile runway. The reasons she mentions: "They are gorgeous, feminine and
worth flaunting. "Next on my graphic scheme of things will be incorporating
prints with the happening names from the 1960s and 1970s era.

Depression Among Some People.
But health is much more than curing afflictions. With incessant global coverage
of conflict, acts of terrorism and atrocity, we are witnesses to an endless
stream of nightmare scenarios. Healing is often mistaken as curing, yet
medicinal drugs can only cure the afflicted part, whereas healing treats the
whole system.
Not being able to enjoy your normal things the way you used

with our lives as normal, we feel on a deeper, intuitive level, that the world
must change its ways. The new situation is that every human being needs to go
through therapies, needs to understand his unconscious intentions, and needs to
go through meditations so that he can calm down, become cool and look towards
the world with a new perspective, of silence. If you have a headache and seek a
medical opinion, you will be made to go through all kinds of pathological tests,

much as the doctor himself does, and if it works all well and good, if it
doesn’t, then go for another test. Osho calls it at-oneness with existence, and
this is the very aroma of the meditator. A sense of fatigue perhaps. Meditation
is a wondrous tool that can only to be used individually but which has a global
impact. But often it’s more like a sense of numbness. The terrorism is not in
the bombs, in your hands; the terrorism is in your unconscious . When nature is
at work it awakens the stifled immune system, the natural warrior within us. It
occurs in the invisible fabric that is woven through the cells. Such a life will
heal the old wounds and will not create new ones. Eventually they may succeed in
suppressing the symptoms with drugs, but they may not be able to find the root
cause, or to stop its recurrence.Psychologist Steven Hill says, "The constant
drumbeat of violence on our big and small screens can actually lead to
depression among some people. There’s grief for what’s going on but also a sense
of there’s not much you can do to help, least of all to prevent it.There always seems
to be one more test. She facilitates meditation workshops based on Osho insights
around the country and abroad. The loving hand of nature secretly repairs the
damages and coaxes the organism back to its natural state as a healthy and
wholesome being. There is another level of healing which happens on a subtle
plane: emotional healing.â€Osho had long ago suggested a preventative measure:
"You live in fear, not in joy. If we can clean the basement of the human mind’s
unconscious it can be cleaned away . Just a growing sense of helplessness.â€So

Wounds Or Orthopedic Implants
"The ability to suture a thread-based diagnostic device intimately in a tissue
or organ environment in three dimensions adds a unique feature that is not
available with other flexible diagnostic platforms," said corresponding author
Sameer Sonkusale.Researchers led by Tufts University engineers integrated
nano-scale sensors, electronics and microfluidics into threads, ranging from
simple cotton to sophisticated synthetics, that can be sutured through multiple
layers of tissue to gather diagnostic

The research suggests that the
thread-based diagnostic platform could be an effective substrate for a new
generation of implantable diagnostic devices and smart wearable systems.""By
contrast, thread is abundant, inexpensive, thin and flexible, and can be easily
manipulated into complex shapes," said first author Pooria Mostafalu, adding
"Additionally, analytes can be delivered directly to tissue by using thread's
natural wicking properties. The study appears in Microsystems and

were transmitted wirelessly to a cell phone and computer.Sonkusale added, "We
