Everyone knows the reason: Edmund Joensen doesn’t see himself in that! Although the coalition partners — the Self-Government and People’s Party — in principle are “self-government parties,” they will vote as Edmund says they should vote.
BLARK_translated
Orsøkina kenna øll: Edmund Joensen finnur seg ikki í tí! Hóast samstarvsfelagarnir - sjálvstýris- og fólkaflokkurin - í prinsippinum eru "sjálvstýrisflokkar", so atkvøða teir, sum Edmund sigur, at teir skulu atkvøða.
There is much to suggest that they have not understood the seriousness of the matter. If they had taken their own agendas even roughly seriously, it would have been unthinkable to block consideration of this case.
BLARK_translated
Tað er nógv sum bendir á, at teir ikki hava skilt álvaran í málinum. Tóku teir sínar egnu stevnuskráir bara nøkulunda fyri fult, hevði tað verið óhugsandi at blokkerað fyri eini viðgerð av hesum máli.
As long as nothing is done, time is working for Faroese incorporation into the EU as part of Denmark.
BLARK_translated
So leingi einki verður gjørt, arbeiðir tíðin fyri føroyskari innliming í ES sum partur av Danmark.
The Danish state apparatus does not represent the Faroese language or Faroese culture. That we have nevertheless managed to preserve our identity is due, in the first place, to isolation, and secondly to the political independence we have had.
BLARK_translated
Tað danska statsapparatið umboðar ikki føroyskt mál ella føroyska mentan. At vit kortini hava klárað at varðveitt okkara eyðkenni, kemst í fyrsta lagi av isolatiónini, og í øðrum lagi av tí tí politiska sjálvræði, vit hava havt.
But isolation is no longer a decisive factor. And if we don't pull ourselves together and find our own legal footing to stand on, we will also lose political independence.
BLARK_translated
Men isolatiónin er ikki nakar avgerandi faktorur longur. Og taka vit okkum ikki saman og finna okkara egnu juridisku bein at standa á, missa vit eisini tað politiska sjálvræði.
At the moment we are only Danes who (in addition to Danish) speak Faroese and belong at home in the Faroe Islands. We have a certain political home rule — but are in the process of becoming EU members together with the motherland.
BLARK_translated
Í løtuni eru vit bara danir sum (umframt danskt) tosa føroyskt og hoyra heima í Føroyum. Vit hava eitt ávíst politiskt heimastýri - men eru í ferð við at gerast ES-limir saman við móðurlandinum.
There is no solid foundation for the nation to stand on. And no one else is going to cast one for us.
BLARK_translated
Tað er ikki nøkur trygg grund hjá tjóðini at standa á. Og eingin annar fer at stoypa okkum nakra nýggja.
Incredible but true: Now it’s “trendy” among Americans to be modest! With the slogan “The New Modesty” the new lifestyle trend in the USA is increasingly moving away from values such as consumption and career.
BLARK_translated
Ótrúligt, men satt: Nú er tað "trendy" í millum amerikumenn at vera lítillætin! Við paroluni "The New Modesty" fer nýggja rákið innan lívsstíl í USA meiri og meiri burtur frá virðum sum t.d. forbrúk og karrieru.
But when such a trend comes from the world’s most consuming country and from a hard‑pressed people, it is worth taking seriously.
BLARK_translated
Men tá slíkt rák kemur úr heimsins mest forbrúkandi landi og frá hartrópandi fólkaslagi, er tað vert at taka í álvara.
Consumption in Denmark has nevertheless not decreased; on the contrary. The only difference is that no one brags or talks loudly about their consumption anymore. Having status and prestige is no longer about owning things, property or a fat wallet, but about having knowledge, insight and creative gifts.
BLARK_translated
Nýtslan í Danmark er kortini ikki lækkað, tvørturímóti. Munurin er bara tann at eingin reypar ella tosar hart um sína nýtslu longur. At hava status og prestigu er ikki longur at eiga ting, ognir ella eina feita mappu, men at hava vitan, innlit og skapanargávur.
Values contain more feelings than before. For more and more people happiness and joy are found in the domestic environment, and therefore children and family have also gained greater value than in the ’80s. So you are no longer judged so harshly if you own “a villa, a Volvo and a poodle.”
BLARK_translated
Virðini innihalda fleiri kenslur enn áður. Fyri alsamt fleiri og fleiri er eydnan og lukkan at finna í tí heimliga umhvørvinum, og tí hevur børn og familja eisini fingið størri virði enn í 80'unum. Tú ert altso ikki longur so harður, um tú eigur "villa, volvo og vovhund".
Terms like “understatements” and “less is more” are important and describe this new, restrained trend, all while the yuppie boys from the ’80s have thrown their ties in a corner — an outfit is fine, but, but, but let the look be relaxed!
BLARK_translated
Hugtøk sum "understatements" og "less is more" eru umráðandi og lýsa hetta nýggja, afturhaldandi rákið, alt meðan yuppie-dreingirnir frá 80'unum hava tveitt slipsið í ein krók - ein klædningur er tó í lagi, men, men, men lat look'ið vera relaxed!
A word like prosperity has also suddenly become a decisive concept, both regarding the supply of goods and opportunities. The reason is, among other things, that we are forced to choose more than before, for example when we have to choose products and lifestyle and existence — today less is determined for us in advance...
BLARK_translated
Eitt orð sum góðska er eisini knappliga vorðið eitt avgerandi hugtak, bæði hvat viðvíkur útboðið av vørum og møguleikum. Orsøkin er m.a. tann, at vit eru noydd at velja meira enn áður, t.d. tá vit skulu velja vørur og lívstíl og tilveru - í dag er minni avgjørt fyri okkum framman undan.
Thus the Danes have started to think more about what it is they want with, for example, their careers and leisure time — yes, even food gets some conscious consideration before it goes down.
BLARK_translated
Sostatt eru danir farnir at umhugsa meira, hvat tað er, sum teir vilja við t.d. yrkisleiðini og frítíðini - ja, sjálvt maturin fær nakrar tilvitandi tankar, áðrenn hann fer niðurum.
Family values are also held in high esteem in the Faroe Islands today, though not so much because of American commercialism as because of the crisis in '92 (More about this inside the paper). But while the Danes themselves opt out of earning money, many Faroese are forced into unemployment.
BLARK_translated
Familjuvirðini eru eisini í hásæti í Føroyum í dag, tó ikki so nógv vegna amerikanskari kommitarismu, sum vegna kreppuni í '92 (Meira um hetta inni í blaðnum). Men meðan danir sjálvir frávelja at vinna sær pening, eru nógvir føroyingar noyddir út í arbeiðsloysi.
Family values, however, have always been important to Faroese people compared with the outside world. As far as one can be glad, humanity has been given greater value than money and materialism, both in the Faroe Islands and in Denmark.
BLARK_translated
Kortini hava familjuvirðini altíð verið týdningamikil fyri føroyingar samanborið við útheimin. Fyri so vítt er tað at fegnast um, at menniskjað hevur fingið størri virði enn pengar og materialisma, bæði í Føroyum og í Danmark.
A few Dumle caramels will be thrown onto the table, more cigarettes, an ashtray and a lighter brought out and after a bit of smoking around a tape recorder that no one can find, I get a notepad and start scribbling away at full speed — hopefully I’ll catch it all!
BLARK_translated
Nakrar Dumle karamellur verða blakaðar á borið, More cigarettir, øskubikar og tendrari funnin fram og aftaná eitt sindur av rokilsi um ein bandupptakara, sum eingin finnur, fái eg ein blokk og byrji at krutla niður við fullari ferð - Vónandi fái eg alt við!
Last summer she was invited to have an exhibition in the Faroe Islands, and she believed she would be ready to display her works this year, after having worked on the same theme — the human body — for the past two years.
BLARK_translated
Síðsta summar varð hon bjóðað at hava eina framsýning í Føroyum, og hon helt seg fara at verða klára at sýna fram verk síni í ár, aftaná at hava arbeitt við sama evni - menniskjakroppinum - tey seinastu tvey árini.
When it is so often said that the Faroe Islands have a multitude of growth opportunities, the possibilities within education are no exception.
BLARK_translated
Tá ið tað so ofta verður sagt, at Føroyar hava ørgrynnu av vakstrarmøguleikum, so eru møguleikanir innan útbúgving onki undantak.
It has often been claimed that the educational opportunities of students would be curtailed when sovereignty becomes a reality. This has been argued, among other things, with the following reasoning:
BLARK_translated
Ofta hevur verið hildið fast uppá, at útbúgvingarmøguleikarnir hjá teimum lesandi, vilja vera skerdir, tá ið fullveldið gert veruleiki. Hetta hevur verið hildið uppá m.a. við tí grundgeving:
Therefore it will be necessary, when the Faroe Islands obtain full sovereignty, to ensure that we remain part of this agreement, because it is crucial that we secure broader and high-quality educational opportunities for Faroese people than we currently have. (White Paper appendix 2 page 249)
BLARK_translated
Tí verður neyðugt, tá Føroyar fáa fullveldi at bera so í bandi, at vit framhaldandi verða partur av hesi avtalu, tí tað er umráðandi at vit meiri enn enn í løtuni tryggja føroyingum breiðar og dygdargóðar útbúgvingarmøguleikar. (Hvítabók fylgibind 2 síða 249)
What do we want with the educated people and where does the decision about educational institutions lie?
BLARK_translated
Hvat vilja vit við tí útbúna fólkinum og hvar liggur avgerðin fyri útbúgvingarstaði?
if that is the case, because we believe that Danish educations are the best for our society, or
BLARK_translated
um tað er so, tí vit halda, at danskar útbúgvingar eru tær bestu fyri okkara samfelag, ella
whether it is the system that forces or tempts us to choose almost only that one country of education
BLARK_translated
um tað er skipanin, sum noyðir ella freistar okkum, at velja nærum bert tað eina útbúgvingarlandið
These agreements should undoubtedly have been made in consultation with the businesses, with the public authorities and with student organisations such as LFÚ and MFS, so that the authorities here at home would know where the need lay. This could involve both
BLARK_translated
Hesar avtalur áttu óivað at verið gjørdar í samráð við vinnuna, við tað almenna og við studentafeløg sum LFÚ og MFS, so myndugleikarnir herheima vistu hvar tørvurin lá. Her kann bæði vera talan um
If both language and cultural knowledge are gained in addition to the professional education out in the world, then we have truly gotten two for the price of one.
BLARK_translated
Um bæði mál og mentunnarkunnleiki verða fingin umframt ta fakligu útbúgvingina úti í heimi, so hava vit sanniliga fingið tvey fyri eitt.
In summary, it can be seen that when it is so often said that the Faroe Islands have a wealth of growth opportunities, the possibilities within education are no exception.
BLARK_translated
Samanumtikið sæst, at tá ið tað so ofta verður sagt, at Føroyar hava ørgrynnu av vakstrarmøguleikum, so eru møguleikanir innan útbúgving onki undantak.
When, on the other hand, it is argued that the opportunities also exist in home rule, that is partly true, but then it is the decisions of the Danes that determine our educational opportunities. Sovereignty gives us:
BLARK_translated
Tá ið tað so hinvegin verður hildið uppá, at møguleikarnir eisini finnast í heimastýrinum, so er tað í ein mun rætt, men tá eru tað avgerðirnar hjá dønum, sum gera okkara útbúgvingarmøguleikar av. Fullveldi gevur okkum:
opportunities to cooperate directly with other nations as an equal partner
BLARK_translated
møguleikar at samvinna beinleiðis við aðrar tjóðir sum javnbjóðis partur
These possibilities are not available as long as we are a Danish territory.
BLARK_translated
Hesir møguleikar eru ikki, so leingi vit eru ein danskur landspartur.
The choice of education is marked by a chess-like navigation between interests, abilities, job opportunities and a host of various pitfalls. It is difficult to choose, and although there is plenty of good advice, it is you who makes the final decision.
BLARK_translated
Valið av útbúgving er merkt av skáksigling millum áhuga, evnir, arbeiðismøguleikar og eina ørgrynnu av ymiskum fellum. Ringt er at velja, og hóast tey góðu ráðini eru mong í tali, er tað tú, ið tekur ta endaligu avgerðina.
In an increasingly shrinking world where communication of all kinds across borders is growing rapidly, it is important that Faroese people are included — not just as individuals, but also as a nation.
BLARK_translated
Í einum støðugt minkandi heimi har samskifti av øllum slag tvørtur um landamørk økist í stórum, er umráðandi, at føroyingar eru við. Ikki bert sum einstaklingar, men eisini sum fólk.
This booklet deals with most of the matters that are of interest to Faroese people who go abroad for education. The reader is intended as a reference book, and therefore it is not necessary to read it from one end to the other.
BLARK_translated
Pisan viðger tey flestu viðurskifti, sum hava áhuga fyri føroyingar, ið fara í útbúgving uttanlanda. Lestrarbókin er ætlað sum uppslagsbók, og tí er ikki neyðugt at lesa hana úr einum enda í annan.
Of course, this booklet cannot solve all the problems that people may encounter, nor provide a complete overview of educational opportunities in Denmark and elsewhere. But the book may possibly point you to where you can get more information about the courses you are interested in, and thus give you and your family a b...
BLARK_translated
Pisan kann sjálvsagt heldur ikki loysa allar trupulleikar, ið fólk kunnu koma út fyri, ella geva nakað samlað yvirlit yvir útbúgvingarmøguleikar í Danmark og aðrastaðni. Men bókin kann møguliga vísa tær á, hvar tú kanst fáa fleiri upplýsingar um útbúgvingar, tú ert áhugað í, og harvið geva tær og tínum eitt betri grund...
The first part of Pisu is about choosing an education. The conclusion is that it pays off best to choose an education based on interest. The education must make sense for your whole life, and therefore it is necessary that you think with your heart. Passion is the best guiding principle and creates long-term security a...
BLARK_translated
Fyrsti partur av Pisuni er um at velja útbúgving. Niðurstøðan er, at tað loysir seg best at velja útbúgving eftir áhuga. Útbúgvingin skal geva meining alt lívið, og tí er neyðugt, at tú hugsar við hjartanum. Eldhugurin er besta stevnumið og skapar í longdini tryggleika og vónir fyri framtíðina.
The second part of the Pisi is about social and housing matters; it contains articles about student grants (SU), tax liability, the Faroe Islands deduction, and housing conditions.
BLARK_translated
Annar partur av Pisuni er um social- og bústaðarviðurskifti, har eru greinar um SU, skattaskyldu, føroyafrádrátt og um íbúðarviðurskifti.
The last part of the book is about various towns in Denmark and what they have to offer. It also touches on leisure time, hopes for the future, and the coming working life.
BLARK_translated
Seinasti parturin av Pisuni er um ymiskir býir í Danmark, og um hvat teir hava at bjóða. Eisini verður nortið við frítíðina, framtíðarvónir og komandi arbeiðslívið.
A book list is at the back; here are collected titles of books about education both in and outside Denmark. Likewise, we have an overview of accommodations and a list of Faroese associations abroad.
BLARK_translated
Bókalisti er aftast, her eru savnað heitir á bókum um útbúgvingar bæði í og uttanfyri Danmark. Somuleiðis hava vit eitt bústaðaryvirlit og yvirlit yvir føroysk feløg uttanlanda.
It is not about holding back from exploring all possibilities before the final choice is made.
BLARK_translated
Tað er ikki at halda seg aftur við at kanna allar møguleikar, áðrenn tað endaliga valið verður gjørt.
Of course it is you — and only you — who decide what you intend to study. But it can often be difficult to make the various interests concrete, and this is where the Faroese study guides can be useful. If you roughly know what you want to take on, it is also always an advantage to explore all options before you choose ...

In addition to this there is a much larger Danish educational overview (Duel), which exists both as a book and a database. This is the successor to the old "erhvervskartoteket", and it can, among other places, be found at the City Library in Tórshavn.
BLARK_translated
Umframt hetta er eitt nógv størri danskt útbúgvingaryvirlit (Duel), sum bæði finst sum bók og databasi. Hetta er avloysarin fyri tað gamla "erhvervskartoteket", og tað er m.a at finna á Býarbókasavninum í Havn.
An overview of education in Norway can be found in the book "Student 98", published by the Norwegian Universitetsforlaget. The book contains a wealth of practical and theoretical information about all higher education in Norway, and is a "must" for everyone planning to go that route.
BLARK_translated
Yvirlit yvir útbúgvingar í Noregi er at finna í bókini "Student 98", sum norska Universitetsforlaget gevur út. Bókin hevur eina ørgrynnu av praktiskum og teoretiskum upplýsingum um allar hægri útbúgvingar í Noregi, og er eitt "must" hjá øllum, ið ætla sær hendan vegin.
Talk to a study adviser about the programme as a whole. They can steer you further and give you addresses and telephone numbers.
BLARK_translated
Tosa við ein lestrarvegleiðara um útbúgvingina sum heild. Hon kann beina teg víðari og geva tær adressur og telefonnummur.
Get in touch with a Faroese person you know who is attending — or has attended — the college. They can always tell you more about things the study counselor has forgotten or hasn’t emphasized as much.
BLARK_translated
Set teg í samband við onkran føroying, sum tú veitst gongur - ella hevur gingið - á læristovninum. Tey kunnu altíð greiða meira frá ymiskum, sum lestrarvegleiðarin hevur gloymt, ella ikki lagt so stóran dent á.
Your personal interests — however pleasant they may be — are not a sufficiently good basis for choosing an education. Your education, your life path, should make sense on a higher level — both for yourself, for society, and for others.
BLARK_translated
Tíni persónligu áhugamál - hvussu stuttlig tey enn munnu vera - eru ikki nóg gott grundarlag undir at velja útbúgving. Útbúgvingin, tín lívsvegur, eigur at geva meining á einum hægri støði - bæði fyri teg sjálvan, fyri samfelagið og fyri onnur.
Study advisors are kind and helpful, but of course they can never make the final decision for you. Returning from student counseling you may find yourself with a pile of study guides and good advice and options — if you doubted before, you may perhaps doubt even more now.

Men ivin og óvissan argar kanska enn. Tí hvat skal eg gera, tá eg havi áhuga fyri rokktónleiki, enskum fótbólti og netsurfing?
Choosing an education based on your current interests is too weak a foundation to select a course of study on, says Peter Plant, lecturer in study and career guidance at the Danish School of Education. He would rather ask those seeking an education a different question than the usual “what are you interested in?”
BLARK_translated
At velja útbúgving eftir tínum áhuga her og nú, er ov lítið grundarlag at velja útbúgving á, sigur Peter Plant lektari í lestrar- og vinnuvegleiðing á Danmarks Lærerhøjskole. Hann vil heldur spyrja tey, sum leita sær eftir útbúgving, ein annan spurning enn tann vanliga "hvørjum tú ert áhugaður í?"
If you plan, for example, to become a teacher, you must consider whether this is because of the already long holidays in the primary schools, or because you want to improve the upbringing of the children, or because you perhaps see yourself as a teacher with joy. All questions must be taken into account.
BLARK_translated
Ætlar tú tær t.d. at gerast lærari, má umhugsast, hvørt hetta er vegna longu frítíðina í fólkaskúlunum ella tí, tú vilt betra um uppvøkstin hjá børnunum, ella tí tú kanska sært teg sjálvan sum lærara við gleði. Allir spurningar mugu roknast uppí.
The question is how I can do something meaningful in my own life, but at the same time in the lives of others, says P. Plant.
BLARK_translated
Spurningurin er, hvussu eg kann gera okkurt munagott í mínum lívi, men samstundis í lívinum hjá øðrum, heldur P. Plant
In the ’70s the young people talked a lot about content and meaning. Everything you did had to have meaning. But the individual really thought only about meaning for themselves. Today most people think about meaning both for themselves and for others — for society, for saving the Earth, he says.
BLARK_translated
Í 70'unum tosaðu tey ungu nógv um innihald og meining. Alt tú gjørdi skuldi hava meining. Men tann einstaki hugsaði í veruleikanum bert um meining fyri seg sjálvan. Í dag hugsa tey flestu um meining bæði fyri seg og fyri onnur - fyri samfelagið, fyri jarðarinnar bjarging, sigur hann.
According to P. Plant, young people today therefore think beyond their own personal interests — they think bigger when they choose.
BLARK_translated
Sambært P. Plant, hugsa tey ungu í dag altso útyvir síni egnu, persónligu áhugamál - tey hugsa størri, tá tey velja.
Nevertheless, no one can ever be completely certain that they are choosing correctly. For example, you are always obliged to try out the reading before you can be completely sure.
BLARK_translated
Kortini kann eingin nakrantíð vera heilt vísur í, at tey velja rætt. Tú ert t.d. altíð noyddur at royna lesnaðin áðrenn, tú kann vera heilt vísur.
Those who think they are 100% certain about what they want to study may be rather narrow-minded, according to P. Plant. For no one can be completely decisive about anything in our time. Uncertainty is the norm, and you might just as well learn to live with it like everyone else. After all, you cannot choose between stu...
BLARK_translated
Tey, sum halda, at tey eru 100 % vís í, hvat tey vilja lesa eru kanska heldur trongdskygd, sambært P. Plant. Tí eingin kann vera heilt ivaleysur í nøkrum í okkara tíð. Óvissa er kosturin, og tú kanst líka so væl læra at liva við tí sum øll onnur. Tú kanst hóast alt ikki velja lesna ella arbeiði og harvið halda, at tú h...
But uncertainty and doubt are after all positive traits. Uncertainty is a driving force and makes one curious. And we all have to keep choosing throughout our lives: you choose a field of study, choose a new job several times, and perhaps even a spouse several times in life. In short: All of life is a choice that bring...
BLARK_translated
Men óvissan og ivin eru hóast alt positivir eginleikar. Óvissan er drívmegi og ger ein forvitnan.

Stutt sagt: Alt lívið er eitt val, sum hevur óvissuna og ...
In relation to education, the level of uncertainty is lifelong, and personal education — you never know where your personal development, uncertainty, curiosity and all those random things will lead you, no matter what you do by studying, P. Plant concludes.
BLARK_translated
Í sambandi við útbúgving er óvissin støðið undir lívslangari, og persónligari útbúgving - tú veitst ongantíð, hvar tín persónliga menning, óvissan, forvitnið og alt tað tilvildarliga leiðir teg, líkamikið, hvat tú gert av at lesa, sigur P. Plant at enda.
But to doubt means that you continue to be attentive and awake, that you follow along in the present, and that you thereby have a greater possibility to create content and meaning in your education and work.
BLARK_translated
Men tað at ivast merkir, at tú framhaldandi ert ansin og vakin, at tú fylgir við í nútíðini, og at tú harvið hevur størri møguleika fyri at skapa innihald og meining í tínari útbúgving og arbeiði
To be permitted to lose oneself in something one is greatly interested in is a gift, and it doesn’t matter whether one is reading about Indo-European grammar, French literature, superstrings, church history in the 13th century, or something completely different.
BLARK_translated
At fáa loyvi at gloyma seg burtur í onkrum, ið ein hevur stóran áhuga í, er ein gáva og tað er líkamikið um ein nú lesur um indogermanska grammatik, franskar bókmentir, superstreingir, kirkjusøgu í 13'indu øld ella okkurt heilt annað.
Both current and former students would probably agree that there are many good parties. The fellowship, being together with others who are passionate about the same things as yourself. Often the socializing continues most of the night and at many schools the Friday bar is almost an institution in itself.

When applying for a dormitory place, Faroese people have a big advantage because of the great distance from Denmark. The farther away you live, the earlier you get in the waiting list, and therefore it is often best to apply for housing before you move out of the Faroe Islands.
BLARK_translated
Tá søkt verður um kollegiupláss hava føroyingar stóran fyrimun, orsakað av tí stóru fjarstøðuni frá Danmark. Tess longri burtur ein býr, tess fremri kemur ein í bíðirøðini, og tí eru nógv tey bestu ráðini at søkja um bústað, áðrenn tú flytur úr Føroyum.
At the same time it is very important to keep in mind that you must have a Danish personal identification number (CPR number) in order to apply for support from SU. To obtain one, you must live in, or have lived in, Denmark.
BLARK_translated
Samstundis er tað ógvuliga umráðandi at leggja tær í geyma, at tú skalt hava eitt danskt p-tal (CPR-nummar) fyri at kunna søkja um stuðul frá SU. Fyri at fáa eitt slíkt, skalt tú búgva, ella hava búð í Danmark.
When the application form is filled out, you can note that you have no permanent place to live anywhere, and that you need housing as soon as possible. This can sometimes speed up the processing of the housing application.
BLARK_translated
Tá umsóknarblaðið verður fylt út, kannst tú viðmerkja, at tú ongastaðni hevur at búgva, og at tú hevur bústað fyri neyðini skjótast gjørligt. Hetta kann onkuntíð skunda undir viðgerðina av bústaðarumsóknini.
In many dormitories there are both rooms and apartments. Some have only rooms, while others have only apartments. There are, however, relatively many more dormitory rooms than apartments.
