The perfect gift for freshers \u2013 the gift of clean air!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Parents looking for gift ideas to send their offspring off to university or college this year could help their health and concentration by buying them a Blueair air purifier.<\/p>\n

While student accommodation can be renowned for dirty dishes, filthy floors and the odd suspicious smell, the quality of air is often less focussed on. When freshers move into university accommodation with new housemates, bacteria and germs can spread fast. Giving the gift of a Blueair Pure 411 for their bedroom means your fresher friend or relative will breathe healthy, clean air and help them to study better.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of us spend as much as 90% of our time indoors and what few know is that indoor air is up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. The Blue Pure 411 has a 360\u00b0 air intake, which removes dust, pollen, cooking smells and even smoke particles,\u201d comments Sara Alsen, Chief Purpose Officer at Blueair.<\/p>\n

With optional pre-filters available in 3 colours, the 411 can also match your interior design style. Blue Pure 411 is whisper silent (it is Quiet Mark approved), energy efficient and the one-button speed control makes it easy to use. Just grab it, place it wherever you want, plug it in, and breathe perfectly clean air 24\/7.<\/p>\n

New Campus Essentials Guide!<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Dr. Fran Walsh.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is important and good for the child to enter the classroom already knowing a friend. We are all interdependent human beings. Even more than adults, kids need a companion or partner to combat feeling alone and isolated at school. Every child needs and wants to belong to a group, both within their family and at school,in order to feel validated and accepted. (Because of the complexities within families and the breakdown of many families, we have a growing problem of kids joining gangs so that they will feel they belong and own a place within a group). Partnering your youngster up with a friend BEFORE school starts is like depositing insurance dividends into your child\u2019s social bank account.<\/p>\n

The younger the child the more important the relationship is with his teacher. The reason is to help the child with the ongoing separation process that continues beyond preschool and into kindergarten and the early elementary grades. As your child matures,he and she need to be prepared for middle and high school, college, and adult life which involves requirement to relate to superior authority figures whether we like them or not. We’ve all had high school teachers whom we couldn’t stand and\/or thought didn’t like us. We simply don’t get to choose and are forced to get along with the teacher we are assigned to. Many kids entering school are shy at the beginning of the year. Some feel an apprehension or fear of authority figures (teachers included). Establishing and nurturing a warm, friendly relationship between your child and her teacher is the antidote to her fears and hesitation. You want your child to be comfortable enough to go to her teacher for support and kindness when unexpected conflicts or confusion emerge in the classroom and especially during recess and lunch when most teachers relax, take a break, and lighten up on child supervision.<\/p>\n

The children at Jewett Middle Academy in Winter Haven, Florida were needlessly traumatized by careless, clumsy planning and procedure followed by the Winter Haven Police Department. The objective for any type of school “drill” including one for fire, earthquake,or school shooter is to reduce anxiety – not raise it. These 6th, 7th,and 8th graders were terrified when the police officers burst into classrooms brandishing guns, including an unloaded AR-15 rifle, that found students huddled in the dark face-to-face with the gun barrel. The teachers,parents, and kids were not alerted, prepared, or forewarned that this was a drill so, in fact, most of the kids believed it to be a real ‘active shooter’situation on school campus. The WHPD used extremely poor judgment. The kids affected by the unfortunate events of today’s surprise school drill will likely reopen the wound of terror, fear, and be re-traumatized if and when faced with an active shooter in real life. Some of the children effected may experience sleep disruption, nightmares, decrease in appetite,change in mood, anxiety, and mild depression – all signs of Post Traumatic Syndrome Disorder (PTSD). Parents should do everything possible t reassure their kids that the police made a mistake. Add that most schools do not experience an active shooter although, on rare occasions, it happens. Allow your child to talk and tell you what happened. Do not interrupt with too many questions….just let him speak without interruptions. Encourage your child to draw a picture of what occurred that she saw. The more you can supportively help your child express the story in narrative language and expel some of the intensity the better for your child to process the trauma, repair, and move forward. Suggest that your school provide safe, supportive counselor-led groups on-campus where the kids who were effected can join together in a group setting and take turns talking and listening to each other. It is very helpful in the healing process to express the narration of sequence of events in a chronological, organized way. This leads to integration of the traumatic experience and helps the person resolve and move forward from the trauma.<\/p>\n

For teens going away to college, here are some essential things to include. It’s almost that time — time for college students to be heading back to school. For millions of students, that means getting acquainted with new roommates or getting reacquainted with old ones.Below are Dr. Fran\u2019s tips for getting along with your college roommate(s) and what a student can do to make the \u2028relationship as harmonious as possible.
Everyone has a different personality. Some personalities mix better with others while some clash. In a college where you are assigned a dorm roommate it can feel like the luck of the draw. You simply don’t know who or what you’re going to get. For college students heading back to school and those who are getting acquainted with new roommates follow these tips to ease the transition.<\/p>\n

With adult roommates, you have the chance to meet, greet, screen, and choose. Living with another person requires adjustments and compromise. Certainly, if your roommate leaves her TV playing at full volume all night long and disrupting your sleep, you have every right to complain! When it comes to your roommate having loud sex that annoys you it is important to ask yourself a couple of questions including:what time of day or night are they creating the disturbance? (if it\u2019s between the hours of 8am-11pm, keep your mouth shut); are you envious that your roommate is getting more action than you are? (If this is the case, put tape on your mouth and cotton in your ears and own up to your jealousies!). If the noises are happening in the middle of the night and interfering with your sleep, then you need to deal with the issue directly with your roommate.<\/p>\n

“How To Talk To Your Roommate If You Hear Them Having Sex & You’re Annoyed\u201d:<\/p>\n

Absolutely, WAIT and discuss the issue with your roommate privately rather than confronting the couple during their sexual encounter. Your relationship is with your roommate, not his or her partner!<\/p>\n

Do not talk with your roommate about your personal \u201cupset\u201d. Instead, focus on the noise disruption interfering with you getting a good night\u2019s sleep. Say something like, \u201cThe walls are thinner than we may think and want\u2026.I can hear you and your boyfriend \u201crelating\u201d to each other in the middle of the night and it\u2019s waking me up. Can you please keep it on low?”<\/p>\n

First, try moving your bed to the other side of your bedroom. Perhaps, you won\u2019t be disturbed if you\u2019re sleeping at the opposite side of quarters. Then, try using earplugs. Truth is that when you bring in a roommate you must assume that they will engage in sexual activities, just as you will. Everyone expresses their sexual pleasure at a different speed and different volume. Everyone has the right to eat,sleep, and have sex!<\/p>\n

Adopt humility. However special you were made to feel in your own family by your parents know that in this setting you are an equal player. Come in with an attitude of ‘we are all the same new kids on the block’. The one sure turn-off to peers is when a rookie walks in thinking he’s above everyone else.<\/p>\n

Be generous. If someone needs something and you can help, do it. Share and give of yourself. You can be sure the shoe will soonbe on the other foot.<\/p>\n

Participate in group activities. If your roommates invite you to a Bar-b-que, movie, or hanging-out night join in the social fun. It’s a perfect way to bond and get closer to your buddies.<\/p>\n

Organize a study group. Doing homework assignments can feel isolating, tedious, or boring. It can actually be fun when you add the social element of working alongside friends.<\/p>\n

Do laundry, dorm\/housecleaning, and grocery shopping with your roommates. Whether you practice chores weekly or once every two weeks, it goes faster and can be less of a drag when you collaborate with your friends. Be a team player!<\/p>\n

\u2018student saving\u2019 by Lavina Chainani, Head of Student Recruitment at London College of Contemporary Arts (LCCA).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a student, you are entitled to some perks and student discounts with your Student ID, NUS extra card (now TOTUM) and ISIC card for discounts abroad.
\nYou can apply for these cards online and they can save you money in many retail outlets and services. In addition, a great number of shops and retailers, restaurants and even venues and museums regularly offer student discounts; most of the time this is advertised on their website or locations, but don\u2019t be afraid to ask, as the discount might still be applied even when not specified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re commuting from outside London to study, travel expenses might have an impact on your finances, but you can easily apply for a railcard and save up to a third on travel costs for \u00a330 a year. Websites such as \u201cSave the Student\u201d can give you further information on how you can save whilst being a student. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a good idea to make a budget for yourself to make sure that you are not overspending whilst at university. Managing your money is very important during these three years.
\nCalculate how much your monthly bills and rent will be so that you are aware of what you have left over for groceries, social activities, outings, travel, clothing, footwear & hobbies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shop for groceries and only eat out when absolutely necessary \u2013 this will save you money and be beneficial for your health! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are living with flatmates and paying shared bills, it is a good idea to have a system whereby everyone pays their share in advance so there are no issues when the bill is due. A shared bank account for the flat may be a good idea so everyone is responsible for payments. You can set up direct debits for monthly bills: make sure there is enough money in the account so you don\u2019t go into overdraft as you may incur charges and this may affect your credit rating.
\nMany banks offer a student bank account which will offer you certain perks and flexibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is common for students to get a part-time job to help fund their studies which will not only prop them up financially, but may also help them build their CV for the future. Part-time student jobs don\u2019t necessarily need to be in retail or hospitality. Visit your career services, as they may be able to help you with your CV and to put you in contact with companies who offer part-time experiences to students. There are many job search engines which list jobs for students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, it is a good idea to speak to your tutors and lecturers, if you are looking for something related to your degree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calling All Freshers! Get Ready for Uni Guide from Robert Dyas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A-level results are in and the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) has revealed that a record number of young people have applied to university this year.* In the next few weeks, many homes up and down the country will be filled with excitement and anticipation as rookie students get preparations underway for student life away from home, but no doubt there will also be some feelings of trepidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High street retailer, Robert Dyas, is a British institution and has some sound advice for the new recruits as they head off on their great adventure. The key to making a smooth and relatively stress-free transition from home comforts to living away from home for the first time lies in the preparation. Being organised and set up from the start with all the right kit will make for a successful launch into university life so you can relax and solo like a pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help ease Freshers into their new surroundings, they have come up with some handy tips, ideas and solutions to make a student\u2019s debut memorable for all the right reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survival of the Fittest <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give yourself a fighting chance against the dreaded Fresher\u2019s flu by taking good care of yourself from the outset. Staying fit and healthy, at least in the few first few weeks, is important as nothing will make you feel more homesick than feeling ill early on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are in self-catering halls, start by eating well. Healthy and simple solutions for novice chefs include grilling or steaming food. Grilling is an efficient way to cook, saves energy, preserves nutrients and you eat less fat. The compact George Foreman 2 Portion Grill (\u00a319.99) features a sloping grill which channels the fat and grease directly from your food into the drip tray, for healthier meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steaming will help food retain the nutritional value. Cook up a feast with the Robert Dyas 3 Tier Stainless Steel and Silver Steamer (Was \u00a312.99 now \u00a39.74) which is ideal for steaming vegetables, fish or even making rice. Minimum effort is required for a healthy three-course meal in minutes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eggs are easy to prepare, inexpensive and a healthy option. Eggs are among the most nutritious foods, containing a little bit of almost every nutrient you need.** The versatility of this super-food is well known and it couldn\u2019t be easier to prepare poached eggs with this Sistema Easy Eggs Microwavable Pot. (\u00a33.69). Simply crack an egg, microwave for about a minute and enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or whip up a deliciously light and fluffy omelette in minutes using the electric Salter EK2716 Omelette Maker. (Was \u00a319.99 now \u00a313.33). Featuring aluminium non-stick cooking plates, this impressive unit requires no cooking oil making for a brilliantly healthy meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steer clear of the corner kebab shop and opt for healthier snacks instead with the Salter Healthy Hot Air Popcorn Maker (\u00a316.49). This healthy fat-free popcorn maker is perfect for sharing a quick snack with friends when you\u2019re catching up with a movie night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoothies are quick and easy to prepare before lectures and packed full of nutrients to keep you going throughout the morning. Blitz your breakfast in the Breville Blend Active Blender (Was \u00a329.99 now \u00a319.99) and go! As an added advantage, the bottle fits most bike cup holders so you can enjoy your drinks on the move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A top tip is to set up a group chat with your new flat or house mates to decide what each person should bring as you really don\u2019t want to end up with five frying pans, three kettles and multiple cutlery sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep it Clean <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the first challenges a new student faces is doing their laundry for the first time. It is a good idea to have a laundry strategy and don\u2019t let it build up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do a wash whenever your laundry basket becomes full and don\u2019t waste precious pennies on doing half loads. Save on space too with this Addis Grey Fold Flat Laundry Basket (Was \u00a319.99 now \u00a314.99).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addis 38L Fold Flat\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use common sense and separate whites and colours carefully. Read the washing instruction labels and make sure you understand the symbols. Select the correct washing machine setting and appropriate temperature. It\u2019s important to pick the right setting, otherwise you could end up with a wardrobe full of crop tops and three-quarter length trousers. And watch out for fabrics that require delicate treatment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a variety of detergents to choose from. Tablets and pods such as Ariel Original Pods (Was \u00a34.99 now \u00a32.99) are less messy than powder or liquid. Biological detergents have special enzymes to help break down stains and dirt. The Ariel Colour Style Washing Gel (Was \u00a37.99 now \u00a33.99) is good for washing filthy sports kit! Non-biological detergents are kinder to sensitive skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or for the eco-warriors, why not do your bit for the environment and try the Ecoegg Laundry Egg (Was 9.99 now \u00a37.49). Not only will the Ecoegg last for 70 washes, saving you money, it\u2019s also safe to use on the most delicate fabrics and the mineral filled egg is kinder to the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drying laundry in student accommodation can be a bit of a headache. Hang clean clothes up immediately on an Addis Extendable 3 Tier Airer (Was \u00a319.99 now \u00a314.99). This will save you draping clothes over furniture and doors and it conveniently folds flat for easy storage when not in use. For extra drying space, a Vileda Express Radiator Airer (RRP \u00a35.99 now \u00a34.99) could come in very handy in the event of a wash day emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t let your personal hygiene regime slip no matter how much fun you are having. Keep your breath minty fresh with the Oral B Pro 650 Electric Toothbrush (Was \u00a349.99 now \u00a324.99). And remember, take care not to kiss any frogs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Space Savers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student rooms can easily become cluttered as they are often on the smaller size. Make the most of your space with some nifty storage solutions such as these Curver Storage Baskets (\u00a32.99 – \u00a38.99). A couple of these stylish, rattan-effect storage baskets will go a long way to help keep your room organised. Or how about some Really Useful Boxes (\u00a33.99 -\u00a346.99) to stash away all your bits and pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep all your styling gadgets in one place with the Polder Styling Station (\u00a315.99). It has large compartments ideal for storing hair dryers, straighteners and styling irons. The mesh base helps them cool down \u2013 great for keeping surfaces safe from heat damage and it features a handy hook for attaching to a towel rail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to Basics<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students always have multiple gadgets to plug in and you\u2019ll never be caught short with this clever PowerCube with Dual USB (Was \u00a318.99 now \u00a39.93). Not only will it turn one socket into four, but it also includes a dual USB port, so you can easily charge your laptop, phone or tablet without the need for an additional adaptor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sleek Toledo Wireless Charging LED Desk Lamp (Was \u00a339.99 now \u00a319.99) will add an element of \u2018cool\u2019 to any student room! It features a dimmable function making this light ideal for your bedside reading or as an occasional desk lamp. The wireless charging base is great to keep your phone fully charged and ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Store your dry goods such as tea, coffee, sugar, pasta and seal in freshness and flavour for longer with this stylish and handy Set of 3 Essentials Storage Canisters With Bamboo Lid (Was \u00a319.99 now \u00a39.99).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are certain essential items you can never have enough of so be sure to stock up on Tea Towels (\u00a34.99), Hangers (\u00a31.99) and Push Pins (\u00a31.99). And don\u2019t forget to take a bin such as the Curver My Style White Paper Bin (Was \u00a33.99 now \u00a32.99).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big part of starting university is making new friends. Be sociable and keep your door propped open with this Pug Door Stop (\u00a38.00) and greet passers-by. You\u2019ll feel like you\u2019ve known them forever in no time at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s Get the Party Started<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019re all settled in, it’s time to embrace your newfound freedom and get the party started with the Mixx Audio s3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker and Digital Clock (Was \u00a339.99 now \u00a319.99). The S3 is a versatile bedside wireless speaker, digital clock with alarm and phone charger as well as an ideal portable speaker. An all in one unique design!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you are planning on doing some work or a work out and need to block out the general melee for a while, plug in your earphones and escape with the Kitsound Over Ear Sport Headphone (Was \u00a339.99 now \u00a319.99). These headphones are sweat and light rain resistant and the detachable ear cups are easily removable when they need a wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full List of Back to University Essentials<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting back at university can be exciting \u2026 until you think about everything you need to buy and pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don\u2019t worry cause here is the definitive list of EVERYTHING you need to survive, from stationary to clothing, without overpacking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Your important documents
    \nI\u2019m talking passport, birth certificate, any contracts to do with beginning the semester, prescriptions and anything else you may think is important. If you\u2019re an international student, your visa information, travel insurance, and translation books. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If you think it\u2019s important, bring it along to save you trouble down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Clothing
      \nEvent though it isn\u2019t essential to bring the wardrobe of a Hadid sister, it is in my opinion important to bring items that reflect your personality. When beginning University, or even just starting a new lot of classes, it can be daunting to present yourself to a new group of people. Find your confidence while breaking the ice a little and where something that shouts who you are to the world.<\/li>
    2. Laptop\/device
      \nThis one\u2019s pretty obvious. How else are you going to study in 2019?<\/li>
    3. Kitchen Utensils
      \nIf you\u2019re familiar with lodging at Uni and using the communal kitchen, I don\u2019t need to explain this much. But if you\u2019re new, just trust me and steer clear of anything that is permanently stored in the shared kitchen. <\/li>
    4. Bathroom products\/toiletries and bag
      \nFor those annoying trips to the showers, make it a better experience by bringing along all your favourite products to lather yourself up like you\u2019re at home. Store everything in one easy bag you can grab and take with you, instead of awkwardly carrying bottles down the hallway and broadcasting to the world your new student status. <\/li>
    5. Stationary
      \nIf you are one of those old souls who still likes to write their notes with a good ol\u2019 pen and paper, make sure you\u2019re stocked up from Officeworks with everything you need and avoid those student convenience store hiked up prices. <\/li>
    6. Bedroom decor
      \nTo make your tiny space a little more homey, bring along your favourite funky patterned doona and sheet set. Buy some decorative pillows and candles, maybe even a print or two to reduce the \u2018hotel\u2019 feeling.
      \nAt the end of the day, bring the things that will contribute joy, rather than stress, for this new and exciting part of your life. Whether you\u2019re heading back or just starting, that feeling is the same. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Good luck for the semester ahead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Freshers’ Finance \u2013 Student Life And Credit Scores<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      30 August 2019: This year will see record numbers of school leavers going to university, with figures from UCAS showing 275,520[i] had applied by July, whilst many more will go through the clearing process now that A-level results have been published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It\u2019s an exciting time but also a costly one, with most courses in the UK costing up to \u00a39,250[ii] per year in fees and living costs averaging \u00a3807 per month[iii].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This is also the time that new undergraduates will start building their credit report. An individual\u2019s credit history starts being compiled when they turn 18 and become eligible to vote. It\u2019s a detailed picture of financial status, based on information supplied on a regular basis to credit reference agencies, like TransUnion. This comes from banks, credit card providers, utilities companies, leasing and hire companies, retailers, and other companies which provide credit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It will help businesses make decisions on whether to offer things like a credit card, overdraft or mobile phone contract. Yet six out of 10 people (62%) don\u2019t know how their credit report is used, according to TransUnion[iv]. And when it comes to student loans, nearly a third (32%) aren\u2019t sure whether it would affect their credit score, whilst 18% wrongly believe a student loan would have a negative impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cA student loan is not recorded on your credit report,\u201d says Kelli Fielding, MD of consumer markets for TransUnion UK. \u201cIt\u2019s treated differently to other types of finance so it won\u2019t have any impact on your credit score, but things like credit cards, overdrafts and personal loans \u2013 which many will be using for the first time as they head off to university \u2013 will all start contributing to the score. Managing money carefully is essential to build a good credit profile and will help students get onto the credit ladder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cThe information in the credit report is also used for identity checks to help reduce fraud. Recent research has shown that the under 21s are one of the top targets for fraudsters, with a rise in identity fraud of 26% last year in this age group[v]. If someone does try and use your identity in a scam, your credit report is one of the first places you\u2019re likely to spot it, so we advise checking your report and score regularly with one of the many free online services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Top tips for students<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Try not to keep high balances on your credit cards
      \nDon\u2019t make lots of credit applications over a short time period
      \nPay your bills on time \u2013 or early. Late payments are recorded on your report
      \nDon\u2019t exceed your agreed overdraft limit \u2013 this will have a negative impact on your score
      \nMake sure you\u2019re on the electoral register \u2013 as well as enabling you to vote, this will help your credit score but if you\u2019re moving around during your time at university, it\u2019s essential to update it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To check their credit score and report regularly, and get guidance and offers to help with their finances, students can sign up to one of the free online services such as: Credit Karma, MoneySuperMarket, or TotallyMoney. <\/p>\n\n\n

      Reader Comment Submitted by Craig at Appliance Analysts [www.applianceanalysts.com] >>><\/strong> If there\u2019s one thing that changed my life on campus, it was a simple, portable laptop\/phone charger. Just like this one on Amazon: www.amazon.com\/Portable-RAVPower-20100mAh-External-Compatible\/dp\/B07P5XWRVY\/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=laptop+charger+portable&qid=1567505646&s=gateway&smid=A32BDIEK75ANF5&sr=8-3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There\u2019s nothing worse than being stuck without power. Whether it\u2019s finishing a report, or settling down to a big study session. You\u2019ve travelled to campus, you\u2019ve got your snacks, your study playlist is ready and\u2026 low battery. Then you look around and yeah \u2013 there\u2019s all the seats next to a socket are taken. Study session ruined. I got this portable laptop charger for Christmas, and it gave me SO much more freedom. There\u2019s no more stress about devices \u2018dying\u2019. I can work anywhere; even outside. It\u2019s honestly been such a game-changer, especially for my old laptop which appears to have lost half it\u2019s battery life down a hole somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
