Healing you rest!

The Caucasus attracted the attention of representatives of various seats of society: the creative intelligentsia, nobility, travelers, merchants, as well as adventurers-romanticists of all stripes, and of course those who have surprising waters suled hope for wonderful healing.

The picturesque nature of these places inspired not one generation of writers and poets: the magnificent foothills of Elbrus, the winding beds of the mountain rivers, carrying their waters among fragrant valleys, azure waterfalls, extensive steppe spaces, generously gifted by the sun ... All this created a surprisingly soft healthy climate, but a lot of healing Mineral waters and high-quality healing mud glorified the Caucasus, both in our country and beyond.

The official history of one of the oldest Balneological Centers of Russia began from 1803. At the place of the first settlements and tent camps, organized near the healing sources, the first villages began to grow very quickly, and then cities. Here were the people of different professions, classes, to fix the health "on the waters" and relax in a pleasant society. Gradually, the news about the miraculous properties of local seats has spread throughout Russia and Europe - the resort has become a favorite place of rest and treatment. But still the peak of the popularity of this region falls on the Soviet era, when the journey for health has become not so complex and tedious, which it was at the end of the 19th early 20th century.

After the revolution, nationalized hotels and private houses were redoned under theratic institutions. At the same time, the construction of sanatoriums, waterproofs and resort complexes was organized. During the war years, immediately after the liberation of resorts in the spring of 1943, thousands of wounded Soviet fighters began to take hospitals. Thanks to therapeutic waters and muds, selfless work of doctors and all personnel, hundreds of human lives were rescued. In the post-war time, dozens of new mineral waters were opened, the construction of hotels, sanatoriums, pioneer camps and resort complexes was a rapid pace, the range of medical and wellness services was expanded. As a result, the cavmins become the resort of all-union value hosting up to one and a half million vacationers per year.

Today, the famous resort Caucasian mineral waters is located in the territory of the three subjects of the Federation: Stavropol Territory, Karachay-Cherkess Republic and the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. There are some of the best enterprises of the sanatorium-resort complex, with a wide range of medical and wellness services offered.

An amateur of foreign health care will be interested to know that Caucasian mineral waters are the most unique region in which almost all types of mineral waters are represented - more than 130 sources! Such a variety in its composition, quality and healing properties you will not find anywhere in the world!

In addition, just 12 kilometers from Pyatigorsk there is a famous lake Tambukan, at the bottom of which there are hundreds of thousands of tons of healing sludge. Every year, about 10 thousand tons of healing mud, which is also recognized as one of the best in the world, is produced for the needs of sanatoriums and healthcares.

But even by those who did not hear about Kavminvodavod's resorts, another direction of activity of the region is well known - production of bottled mineral water. The legendary "Essentuki" and "Narzan" are familiar to everyone since childhood. These and other types of water today are shipped throughout Russia and the nearest abroad.

Another interesting direction that continues to actively develop every year - cognitive and sports tourism. In the edge with a rich history and culture, many interesting natural objects, there is no lack of attractions. Therefore, many tourists go here not so much by rehabilitation, how many bright sightseeing impressions, a pacifying atmosphere of long hiking and active sports vacation in the mountains.

Guests of Nalchik at different times were outstanding representatives of Russian art - composer M.A, Balakirev, F.I. Shalyapin, A.S. Griboedov, V.A, Gilyarovsky, A.A. Fadeev.

Water here contains hydrogen sulfide and a small amount of minerals. In addition to mineral waters in the spa Nalchik, mud is widely used. Dirt is delivered from the bottom of the Tambukan lake located right there on the border of the republic and the Stavropol Territory.

Balneological Resort - Hot Key

In the hot key, you can see many attractions worthy. For example, it will be fascinating to visit the beautiful Danate of the gorge, where the poet of the Renaissance of the Renaissance is skillfully cut out on the rock, view the surroundings from the rocks of the cockerel, to drink water from a stunning Iverly source, which legends are attributed to miraculous properties.

The hot key is a unique natural place where therapeutic properties of both Essentuk's mineral waters and hydrogen sulfide baths are combined, like the Matsesta resort zone in Sochi.

Mineral Sources of Caucasian Mineral Waters

The main treasure at the resorts of Caucasian Mineral Waters are, of course, magnificent mineral springs.

In the Caucasus, a whole bouquet of delicious mineral springs was collected, there are about 300 of them here. 14 water deposits are actively used: Kislovodskoye, Beshtaugorskoye, Pyatigorskoe, Zheleznovodskoye, Batalinsky, Lysogorsk, Zmeikinskoye, Naguvskoye, Kumagorskoe, Gergievskoe, Kalabor, Kumor, Verkhnevkumskoe.

Water in them varies in content: carbonic, hydrogen sulfide, radon, calcium-sodium, hydrocarbonate sulfate. With it, it is treated with the diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, the upper respiratory tract, the urogenital, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal system, skin diseases. In resorts, water is used not only for drinking treatment, but also for taking baths, shower, swimming in pools, rinsing, inhalation.

However, before use, be sure to talk with a specialist. He will advise and tell you, the water from which source will be better to use, will explain the mode, duration and regulation of the reception. There are also contraindications, so it is necessary to be extremely neat in these subtle issues.

Mudhello

Also in Caucasian mineral waters, a significant wellness method is very common - therapeutic dirt. The source of them is the Tambukan lake. Its reserves are 1.4 tons. The lake was first investigated in 1910 by I.A. Oorlov. Tambukan dirt has a huge content of minerals that have a powerful antibacterial effect.

Climatic conditions

Local climate itself has a significant healing effect. In view of which a whole direction was created in medicine - climate treatment. The territory of Caucasian mineral waters is divided into two parts: southern and north. South refers to the Kislovodsk district with a temperate continental climate. And Essentuki, Zheleznovodsk and Pyatigorsk refer to the northern part with the predominance of the steppe climate. The most favorable South Zone climatic conditions.

In Kislovodsk, only 37 days a year happens without the sun, almost absolutely no wind, the air is very clean. Walking on special pedestrian routes, feel a full breast of true harmony with nature, improving the mood, breathing improvements!

Location

Caucasian mineral waters, a resort in the very citadel of the North Caucasus, on the northern slopes of the Chief Caucasus Range. Just 90 km from the famous Elbrus and almost at the same distance between the Black and Caspian seas.

This area is also approximately the same latitude with the most famous resorts of the Azure coast of France and Italian Adrianatics. The resorts of Caucasian mineral waters unites small cozy cities like: Kislovodsk, Essentuki, Zheleznovodsk and Pyatigorsk. In magnitude, they are very similar to European - Karlovy Vary and Baden Baden. All of them are relatively close to each other, forming in general, a single array.

How to get

You can reach any of the cities or with the help of an airplane, straight to the city of mineral waters, or by train. Half goes to mineral waters, part - further, on the Kislovodsk-Minervory branch to Kislovodsk, bypass Pyatigorsk.

Caucasian Mineralnye Waters have good transport links to almost all regions of Russia. From Moscow, and other cities that are at a large distance from the south, most convenient, of course, to use the plane.

The most important in the region of the international class "Mineralnye Waters" in the region is connected by airlines with almost all ends of the immense our homeland.

Caucasian mineral waters are a widely known resort area of \u200b\u200bthe Stavropol Territory, which is unique in the environmental indicators of the territory. The region is located near Elbrus and is famous for its hydromineral resources. Carbon dioxide springs, bathing, water and mud sources of Caucasian mineral waters gained popularity already at the beginning of the 18th century, when the study of the healing properties of mineral resources began.

The history of the development of the region

Peter I was the first one who was actively interested in the region where he sent one of the leading doctors to study the territory. Later, detailed descriptions of mineral waters and hot sources of Pyatigorsk were made by Decree Alexander I. The Special Commission of Doctors confirmed therapeutic properties of the hydroresources of the region. From this point on, the Caucasian mineral waters were erected into the rank of the resort, which quickly became incredibly visited. Balneological resort first was available only for nobility and military. In Soviet times, the territory began to actively fill out not only by guests from different parts of the USSR, but also coming from abroad with sick and simply wanting to relax with health benefits. Too active interest in Minvodas naturally caused an increase in the number of industrial facilities and the processes of pollution of the territory were launched. In 1992 by B.N. Yeltsin was manifested by the initiative to protect the unique area and, according to the Decree, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were recognized as an ecological protected resort. The center of Minvod today is the city of Essentuki. Previously, this status wore Pyatigorsk. However, almost all major cities Mintor are widely known for their exotic landscapes, mountain climates, medicinal water and mud resources. The uniqueness of Caucasian mineral waters is available on the territory of the resort over 30 species of healing mineral waters. More than 130 sources MINVOD are available for visiting. No region in the world does not have such parameters.

Due to these characteristics of the region, the spectrum of indications for the visit of the Ministry of Foreign is extremely wide. Scientists-researchers Restaurant of resortology in Pyatigorsk are developing special treatment techniques with the help of mineral waters and mud for decades. It works in the Minvodas and a plant on the spill of therapeutic fluid in order to implement it throughout the country and for importing abroad. Every year, 134 Sanatorium Minor is taking up to 700 thousand patients. A good equipping of a balneotherapeutic orientation sets a sanatorium for one level with the best European resort and medical objects.

Climate Features and Flora

The mining and lowland terrain of Caucasian mineral waters is especially rich in forest arrays, where Grab and oak breed dominates. Among the variety of vegetation, fruit trees are well represented, including Alych and pears, which ripen in this region very quickly. The climate of the territory is mainly continental. The low poorer air of acidification and adjacent cities is especially useful for the treatment of respiratory problems, as well as cardiac diseases of a wide spectrum. Especially good results, according to the research of doctors, are observed from the climatic favorable effect on hypertensive and suffering atherosclerosis. In Essentuki and Zheleznovodsk in the fall and in winter, fog and rains are frequent, and in Kislovodsk almost all year round, stable warm weather is held.

Natural Museum of Mineral Waters

Caucasian Mineral Waters without exaggeration are a natural museum of mineral waters. The healing waters deposits are diverse and focused on a small area, which makes them available to coming.

The composition of the water in it combines magnesium and calcium components and sulphate-hydrocarbonate elements. Three most well-known types of Narzanov are mined from this field: sulfate, main and dolomite. The healing effect of water from the field is happening both when drinking and through the adoption of bathing procedures.

The most famous mud source of the region - Lake Tambukan. With a small area of \u200b\u200bthe object, it produces impressive volumes of therapeutic dirt. The unique composition of the mud structures of the salted lake includes a large amount of mineral components, sulphides, magnesium ions, chlorine, potassium. Especially useful sulfur iron as part of the healing dirt of the lake. Good bactericidal indicators of Tambian dirt allow you to make an imposition dressing on its basis.

Caucasus. How much of this word! Majestic Mountains, Healing Waters, Colorful Nature and Such Friendly Residents.

I once visited the Caucasus, you forever leave the soul particle there.

My love for the Caucasus began, like a lightweight resort novel, but turned into a real reverent feeling.

What is CMB?

Caucasian mineral waters (or abbreviated KMV) is the name of the terrain in the Stavropol Territory, which includes such cities like mineral waters, Pyatigorsk, Zheleznovodsk, Essentuki, Kislovodsk.

How to get to how to get to town?

The nearest KMV airport is located in Mineralnye Vody.

Despite its name in mineral waters there is no sources of mineral water, so vacationers are not delayed for a long time in the city.

The resort cities from the airport can be reached in several ways. But first is necessary on a taxi or route taxi No. 10 or No. 11 to get to the railway station of mineral waters.

Essentuki cities, Pyatigorsk, Kislovodsk can be reached by train.This is a very convenient type of transport for CMB, because The route is laid through large resort towns. There are enough places in the wagons, the passage is not expensive, but travelers often go.

The city of Zheleznovodsk electric train passes by. You can get away on the train station to Beshtau and then at a taxi (about 100 rubles) to get to Zheleznovodsk. Either take the train to Pyatigorsk and then transfer to the route taxi No. 213.

You can use the services of route taxi.

From the stop of the airport route number 11 to the stop of the Cinema October (M. Mineralnye Waters), where it is necessary to make a transplant on a bus number 107 (before stopping the railway station Zheleznovodsk)

From the railway station to stop the House of Trade, take it on route number 133, get to stop 11th km, where to transfer to the bus number 107 (before stopping the railway station Zheleznovodsk)

From the airport to get to the railway station of mineral waters (minibuses No. 10.11), you drive to Pyatigorsk station to the station and then on a bus number 213 to get to Zheleznovodsk train station.

It is convenient to take a taxi to Zheleznovodsk. For example, in the airport building is a reception of several taxi companies, which for 200-300 rubles will deliver you directly to the sanatorium doors. At the same time, you will be issued a business card with an individual number, which will give you a discount on the reverse trip.

Many, many towns, but how to choose?

Each city of Caucasian Mineral Waters is unique, has its own spirit, atmosphere, climate. Yes, yes, the climate in the cities is completely different.

I propose to make a mini-excursion for each of the cities.

************************* Zheleznovodsk ************************ *

The city that is referred to as Caucasian Switzerland. And this name is quite justified. In Zheleznovodsk, a unique nature: mountains that are drowned in the green of the trees, the aromas of herbs and flowers are in the air, are heard of birds of birds.

The city is divided into two parts: residential town and spa part. The residential town is located on a more flatland, consists of multi-storey houses and a private sector. There are shops, a city park (though, abandoned), the market, the mineral glass "West" (near the sanatorium "Dubrava").

The resort part is in the mountain and undercurrent area. Part of the sanatorium is right on the world of iron.

In the resort part of Zheleznovodsk there are three open sources of mineral water, which are available to every rest, who wants to drink water.

Spring Slavyanovsky, Smirnovsky and Lermontovsky.

The resort part has a therapeutic park located on the city of Iron (853 m. Over the sea level) and several terrenkurov (iron mountain, near the rumble mountain).

Zheleznovodsk, despite the fact that is the smallest city resort KMV, is rich in sanatoriums (various comfort and sizes).

Multidisciplinary sanatoriums, but the main profile are digestive and gastrointestinal diseases.

Indications for treatment in Zheleznovodsk:

Cons of Zheleznovodsk:

Transport remoteness from other cities of KMV. It is easiest to get to a minibus to Pyatigorsk and then to other cities.

It is extremely difficult to leave on the route taxi to Essentukov (it rarely goes, the seats are distributed before the minibus arrives at the stop).

Bad light lighting.

A small number of entertainment places, catering establishments, shops.

Mountain area is not suitable for everyone. A large number of lifts in the mountain, a large number of steps.

In the summer in Zheleznovodsk a large humidity, from this a lot of mosquitoes and midges.

The climate in the city is not predictable. For example, in the spring, it may fall the snow after the heat, and the next morning to melted and the twenty-degree heat will come again.

Zheleznovodsk conquered me with his nature, being there, it seems that you got on the illustration of some old good fairy tale. The resort town is very cozy, but not suitable for persons having problems with movement.

The next city is Pyatigorsk, to it from Zheleznovodsk you can get on the route taxi No. 113 (to the final stop "Upper Market" G. Pyatigorsk).

From the upper market literally for 7-10 minutes of a slow walk along the street of Large to the main walk of Pyatigorsk Street - Kirov Prospectus.

Either at the Stop Railway Station, Zheleznovodsk, you can take a route taxi No. 213 and drive to Pyatigorsk railway station, where in 5 minutes it can be at the endkirov Prospectus.

************************* Pyatigorsk ************************ *

In the center of the city, life is boiling, there is a pedestrian street, where you can enjoy the delicious Pyagigorsky ice cream. This is a place for collecting young people. It always sounds music and often lively performance.

It should be noted that in Pyatigorsk a lot of educational institutions, a whole student town, so the city creates the impression of the city of youth.

There are many attractions in Pyatigorsk: Fail Lake, Mashuk, where a duel occurred, in which the poet M.Yu was killed. Lermontov, many here and Lermontov seats: House Museum, Lermontov Gallery, Monument "Place of Duel" and many others.

Lovers of architecture will find themselves how to take themselves, walking along the central part of Pyatigorsk.

Cons Pyatigorsk:

• Big city. Of course, this fact can be perceived as a positive and negative aspect for rest. I, as a resident of the metropolis, still want to be during the rest in nature, so for me a big city is minus.
• The resort area is located on the hills and in the mineral buses have to go down to the city.
• A peculiar movement of transport to which the habit needs. For example, in the center the car can park directly on the roadway, and the cars can ride directly along the tram lines.
• In Pyatigorsk, very hot in summer, but comfortably in spring and winter.

Pyatigorsk is the city of contradictions. Sweet and fashionable in the center, but the further leave from the central streets, the more you realize that the main part of the city is completely different. In essence, this village in the city, because Most of the city is private houses with land.

The city of youth, students who having received a diploma seek to leave their native places due to lack of work. All this postpones imprint.

I like to come to Pyatigorsk on a day to take a walk in his streets, to enjoy ice cream and plunge a little bit in the bustle.

************************* Essentuki ************************ *

Perhaps this is the most famous city resort of Caucasian Mineralnye Waters, which gave himself glory due to its waters.

It is unlikely that there is at least one resident of the former USSR, who did not hear about the "Essentuki Four."

City, thanks to the private sector, looks quite large. For holidaymakers there is a resort park, near the sanatoriums.

But you need to know that there are two resort zones in Essentuki: one near the resort park itself, antique sources of mineral water and theatrical square.

Another is located at the Victory Park and the locals are called simply "Victoria" (by the name of the Sanatorium of the same name).

The sights of Essentukov include a mud, ancient bureaucrats of mineral water, church and monasteries, located near the city.

There are shopping centers, boutiques, concert hall, various cafes and restaurants. Vacationers love to go to the local market to buy fresh vegetables and fruits.

Yessentuki, perhaps the most flat city of KMV, is therefore ideal for persons having problems with a musculoskeletal system or movement problems.

Rest in Essentuki unhurried, vacationers make matters around the resort park, sit on benches in shady alley.

The city itself immerses the atmosphere of relaxation and peace.

But the main advantage of the resort is mineral waters. The city has, both vintage bures and modern. For example, near the Sanatorium "Victoria" there is a drinking gallery that amazes with its scope.

Cons of Essentukov:

• Limited space for moving holidaymakers. Most of the city represents the private sector. For vacationers, the resort zone is highlighted, for which it makes no sense in general.
• There are no mountains in the city, which distinguishes him from other resort cities. But there is a chic view of Elbrus and from some points of the city on Beshtau.

For me there is no better water than Essentuki-4. Because of the water, you can close your eyes to the shortcomings of the city, due to the lack of a large number of attractions or space for long-term walks.

Essentuki have an excellent location relative to their fellow country cities, placing between Pyatigorsk and Kislovodsky in the iron branch.

And finally, from Essentukov, we go to the most sunny city of KMV - Kislovodsk.

We will go on the already proven train. Time is on the way for about 30 minutes.

************************* Kislovodsk ************************ *

I repeat that this is the solar and most high-altitude city of Caucasian Mineral Waters.

stands at a height from 600 to 1200 meters above sea level

The city is surrounded by mountains, so a special microclimate reigns in it. A lot of solar, clear days, while there is no suffocating heat in the city and such humidity, as in Zheleznovodsk.

In Kislovodsk, a large man-made park was laid, they say that even the largest in Europe.

Each tree was planted in manual. But walking along the park in it hard to believe, because even to imagine scary how much time and effort went to plant such a huge territory.

But you need to pay tribute to those who work above the landscaping, the park came out magnificent.

So much nice to walk along the shady turkey allets, sit under a majestic pine. To admire the rose valley or to count the steps, laid from the bridge "Lady Caprice" to the top of the mountain.

In Kislovodsk, there is a huge number of sanatoriums and boarding houses, perhaps great merit in this, that the city is the birthplace of Narts (heroes) - Narzan.

Like Essentuki Narzanans are known to many. In each supermarket can see a green bottle with this name.

But I think that there are few people who know that Narzanov has several species. They are even divided into groups.

1 group. General Narzan.

2 group. Dolit Narzan.

3 group. Sulphate Narzan

In Kislovodsk, annetic gallery operates, where each wishes can taste several types of Narzanov. At the same time, each Narzan has its healing properties.

Unlike his fellow, Kislovodsk is famous for the treatment of people having problems with the cardiovascular system.

And thanks to its climate, there are rehabilitation and athletes from all over the country are trained.

Indications for treatment in Kislovodsk:

cardiovascular diseases:
Ischemic heart disease, hypertensive of stage I-II, cardiopathiopathy, rheumatism, inactive phase, condition after prosthetics of heart valves (after 3-4 months), condition after aorto - coronary shunting, myocardits, refrirprising atherosclerosis of limb vessels without an ulcers obliterating blood circulation, chronic venous insufficiency on the soil of varicose veins, residual phenomena of the soil of varicose veins, residual phenomena after phlebitis, thrombophlebitis of the lower extremities (no earlier than 2-4 months), the strokectomic syndrome.

Cons Kislovodsk:

• Kislovodsk is a big city, and therefore, rest is accompanied by noise, exhaust machines, crowds of people.
• Kislovodsk - the most "remote" KMV city. In Pyatigorsk, the road will take about an hour at the expense.

• Not everyone in spirit will come to the upper healing park.

A pleasant resort atmosphere reigns in Kislovodsk. The city has unhurried walks along the Olkhovka River, with access to shops and cafes, where you can taste the legendary local pastries.

He will satisfy both those who love active rest - a great running tracks are laid in the upper park. By passing the run, you can rent a bike or just stroll to the top of the mountains.

How to choose a city for recovery and rest?

I advise first of all to decide on the treatment profile. It is from this to a greater extent that the choice of the city resort will be dependent.

I also recommend you to get acquainted with the relief of the city. So, for example, Zheleznovodsk is beautiful by its nature, but, having difficulties with movement, rest does not deliver joy. Once, resting in Zheleznovodsk, I managed to turn it out and everything was tormented for me: to reach the water to the park (4 km), to get to the medical building in the sanatorium (this is a few hundred steps), even the distance to the dining room seemed an endless track. The benefit of the leg quickly heal and I again began to run, but there was enough such experience to understand: in Zheleznovodsk, only physically strong people relax in power.

****************Tricks, instructions, wishes***************

Choosing to rest any of the cities of Caucasian Mineral Waters, do not be lazy and move to the rest. This is not necessary to buy excursions, it is enough to buy a ticket for a train or a minibus. The journey will cost 300-400 rubles and back, but you will know exactly what city is closer to you in spirit, along the waters, by natural conditions.

Check the 2GIS card and walk around the cities will become easier.

Always have a couple of plastic cups with you so that you can try the water in those places where you will visit. It should be remembered that water is a medicine and drink it carefully. With fears, it is better to consult with your doctor.

Be sure to take comfortable shoes with you. Even if you select a passive vacation, you still have to walk to the windows.

Mineralka has side effects. So, Essentuki cause swelling and many in the morning can not get into shoes. And Zheleznovodsk waters have a diuretic effect.

Market "Lira"

To visit the Market "Lira" you need to allocate half the day, which is desirable the first half of the day.

Market work schedule:

May - September: 5:00 - 17:00

October - April: 6:00 - 16:00

3rd Wednesday - Sanitary Day!

Take a notebook to the market or make notes in the phone. In which row and what you saw, because it is very easy to get confused in the rows.

The market has its own website where you can download the market map.

You can get to the market by public transport:

Railway taxi №134, 115 walks from Zheleznovodsk

From Pyatigorsk from the upper market on the route taxi №21a and №11

*************************What to bring with KMV?*************************

Traditionally, gifts from the Caucasus are carrying Spices, herbal teas.

But it is better to bring teas with excursions (Dombai, Elbrus).

Driven from the Caucasus and knitted things.

In Zheleznovodsk, two good departments: near the mud shop at the entrance to the Medical Park, and on Lermontov Street (in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Palace Emir Bukhara).

In Essentuki near the new bureafe.

In Kislovodsk, spontaneous markets are organized about the prospectus of the world.

On the market "Lira" you can buy high-quality knitwear.

It can be brought from a rest and a good coat, which will be released at two or three times cheaper than in stores in Russia. To do this, you can go on a fur (fur coat) market or go shopping or go to the factory where free tours are organized.

And also, you can bring wines, knives, honey, paintings and traditional magnets.

**************************************************************************

I am often asked familiar, knowing my love for KMV: what city is the best?

And I usually answer:

"Now, if there was an electric train in Zheleznovodsk, and a city was located on the site of Kislovodsk, with the same number of sunny days, while in it, Essentuki Four," and was held by Broadway, as in Pyatigorsk, where you can listen to local musicians and to enjoy ice cream . This city would be the most best city of KMV. "

Each resort city is unique, do not repeat. Has its advantages and disadvantages.

All the disadvantages described by me, of course, are subjective. In whatever city you did not find yourself - he is worthy to be called the mineral resort.
