Show HN: Mine, blockchain content id - denisnazarov

A fine idea, it's certainly interesting. A couple of questions:

1\. It only connects to twitter? Why not other options including CoinBase?

2\. What do you do with the code that's generated?

~~~
denisnazarov
Thanks for your comment.

1\. We chose twitter as the ID layer for our MVP because we think a lot of the
creators for who we think Mine will be very valuable have a prominent twitter
presence. It was also the easiest to implement in the MVP as an end-to-end
example of tying a fingerprint to an identity, and then later being able to
recover the identity where the file is consumed. Twitter is also a semi-
trusted entity because of its scale, so you can be relatively confident that a
creator was the first to claim their fingerprint on twitter. With that said,
we strongly believe in the ID layer of Mine being decentralized as well, and
envision the future service similar to a Bitcoin wallet, but for file hashes.
The public keys will represent the many digital pseudonyms you may choose to
have, and files on your hard drive or mobile device will be automatically
fingerprinted and embedded in the blockchain.

2\. We store the metadata of the fingerprint and the corresponding transaction
so you can easily retrieve it whenever you want by submitting the original
file again. You can also store the json output yourself, and it has all the
information necessary to trace the fringerprint's location in the blockchain.
If Mine ceases to exist for whatever reason, all of the "truth" is permanently
in the blockchain and the proof json is all you need to verify.

~~~
eglover
Thanks for the answers, it's helpful. I would say though that for the people
who this is most useful for (journalists, photographers, etc) they probably
don't want to use it.

In order to claim a file they have to send a public tweet for a single file.
That's a good way to fill up their feeds with random resources they're using.
I think metadata is much more useful for them.

That's not to say the blockchain can't be used to great effect, I just think
that there should be a more private way to claim resources. (Maybe profiles
linked directly to twitter with a history of uploads.) If I just upload
something without claiming it first, it's just some numbers. If I claim it
separately on the site, it's no better than just uploading the file to my site
before anyone else and therefore having the earliest record of use.

Maybe this has been considered, I'm only thinking aloud. :p

2\. The code generated is essentially a fingerprint that is unique to the
content that you are trying to identify. This fingerprint can be used to
verify the integrity of the content, and ensure that it has not been tampered
with. Once the content has been verified, you can use the fingerprint to
prove ownership and control distribution.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to systems and methods for rendering documents, and in particular to a system and method for improving the throughput in rendering impositioned documents.
2. Description of the Related Art
Impositioning refers to the process by which multiple pages are printed on a single sheet of paper in a particular order so that they come out in the correct sequence when cut and folded. The printing of an impositioned document typically involves manipulation of the document, printing, making adjustments to render the document as desired, reprinting the document, making additional adjustments. This process is repeated until the document is rendered as the user desires.
This process reduces the productivity, especially because the time to reprint can be lengthy. Further, the process of sending multiple versions of large documents such as books (which comprise a large subset of documents that are printed with impositioning techniques) creates excessive network communications traffic from the impositioning client to the print server, and from the print server to the printer. Also, it can be difficult to enforce version control to keep up with a multitude of documents with small changes. There is no automated way to assure that changes are reflected in the imposed document other than sending all the data again. This further reduces productivity during the time the user is waiting for reprints.
Further, in many cases, it is desirable to include variable data in impositioned documents. For example, it may be desirable to print a book wherein each copy of the book includes customized data in particular fields. Current impositioning systems do not support the efficient use of variable data.
What is needed is a system and method for improving throughput in printing impositioned documents. The present invention satisfies that need.

document.write("");
document.write("
");

The iframe is created but I the doctype is not applied.
is there a way to do this?
Thanks

A:

In order to write into the iframe, you'll first need to create it, attach it to the document, and then reach inside of it to get a handle on its contentDocument.
Here is some sample code:
// create the iframe and attach it to the document
var iframe = document.createElement("iframe");
iframe.setAttribute("scrolling", "no");
iframe.setAttribute("frameborder", "0");
document.body.appendChild(iframe);

// find the iframe's document and write some content
var idocument = iframe.contentDocument;
idocument.open();
idocument.write("<!DOCTYPE html>");
idocument.write("");
idocument.write("");
idocument.write("this is the iframe");
idocument.write("");
idocument.close();

// now have a look at your creation in the console
console.log(idocument);

Title: Creating an IFrame with Strict Doctype Using JavaScript

Introduction:
An iframe is a HTML element that allows you to embed another HTML document within your own. By default, the doctype of the embedded document is not specified, which can cause compatibility issues with older browsers. In this lesson, we will learn how to create an iframe with a strict doctype using JavaScript.

Lesson:
Step 1: Create the iframe element
First, we need to create the iframe element using the document.createElement() method. We also need to set some attributes such as scrolling and frameborder.
```
var iframe = document.createElement("iframe");
iframe.setAttribute("scrolling", "no");
iframe.setAttribute("frameborder", "0");
```
Step 2: Append the iframe element to the document
Next, we need to append the iframe element to the document body using the document.body.appendChild() method.
```
document.body.appendChild(iframe);
```
Step 3: Find the iframe's contentDocument
Now that we have created and appended the iframe element, we need to find the iframe's contentDocument using the contentDocument property.
```
var idocument = iframe.contentDocument;
```
Step 4: Write the doctype declaration
Finally, we can write the doctype declaration using the document.write() method into the contentDocument object.
```
idocument.write("<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN\"   \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd\">");
```
Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to create an iframe with a strict doctype using JavaScript. By following these steps, we can ensure that our embedded documents are compatible with older browsers and follow strict standards.

Lesson: Introduction to Dog Breeding

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
In this lesson, we will learn about dog breeding, specifically Bedlington Terriers. We will cover topics such as selecting the right breeder, understanding the breed standard, and the importance of genetic testing.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's imagine that you want to buy a Bedlington Terrier puppy. How do you choose the right breeder? You should look for someone who has a good reputation, breeds healthy dogs, and has a history of producing champion dogs. You should also ask to see the parents of the puppies and make sure they are healthy and have good temperaments.

Next, let's talk about the breed standard. This is a set of guidelines that describe the ideal characteristics of a Bedlington Terrier. For example, the breed standard states that Bedlington Terriers should have a rounded head, a strong jaw, and a straight back. Breeders should strive to produce dogs that meet these standards.

Finally, let's discuss genetic testing. Before breeding two dogs, it's important to test them for genetic diseases that may be passed on to their offspring. This can help prevent the spread of diseases and ensure that the puppies are healthy.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Now let's apply these concepts to a real-world scenario. Imagine that you have found a breeder who has Bedlington Terrier puppies available. How do you know if they are reputable? You can research the breeder online and look for reviews from other people who have bought puppies from them. You can also ask for references and speak with other dog owners who have purchased puppies from the breeder.

When you visit the breeder, you should observe the puppies and their parents to make sure they are healthy and have good temperaments. You should also ask the breeder about their breeding practices and how they ensure that their dogs are healthy.

Finally, you should ask to see the genetic testing results for the parents. This will give you peace of mind knowing that the puppies are less likely to develop genetic diseases.

## Glossary
- Breed Standard: A set of guidelines that describe the ideal characteristics of a dog breed.
- Genetic Testing: A process that involves testing dogs for genetic diseases before breeding them.
- Reputable Breeder: A person who breeds healthy dogs with good temperaments and has a good reputation in the dog community.

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about the importance of selecting a reputable breeder, understanding the breed standard, and conducting genetic testing when breeding dogs. By following these steps, we can ensure that we are producing healthy and happy puppies that will make great companions for many years to come.

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma: a comparison of automatic bolus tracking and empirical scan delay.
To evaluate the efficacy of automatic bolus tracking in multidetector row CT (MDCT) for pancreatic adenocarcinoma as compared with standard scan delay using the fixed duration contrast injection technique. Seventy-nine patients with pancreatic adenocarcinomas underwent three-phase enhanced CT with an individualized scan delay as determined by automatic bolus tracking (protocol 1) or an empiric scan delay (protocol 2). We evaluated enhancement of the aorta, portal vein, hepatic parenchyma, pancreatic parenchyma, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma during each phase. Two radiologists graded the conspicuity of pancreatic adenocarcinoma in the pancreatic parenchymal phase. The results for the different groups were statistically compared. Pancreatic parenchymal enhancement (mean ± standard deviation, 100.2 HU ± 17.6 vs. 88.5 HU ± 22.1; P < 0.05) and tumor-to-pancreas contrast (mean ± standard deviation, 75.3 HU ± 25.0 vs. 63.1 HU ± 24.1; P < 0.05) were significantly greater in protocol 1 than in protocol 2 during pancreatic parenchymal phase. Qualitative results correlated well with quantitative results (reviewer 1: R (s) = 0.78, P < 0.001; reviewer 2: R (s) = 0.66, P < 0.001) The use of automatic bolus tracking with MDCT can significantly improve the degree of contrast enhancement in the pancreatic parenchyma and tumor-to-pancreas conspicuity.

text: The Distribution of Online Reputation: Audience and Influence of Musicians on MySpace. Keywords:Reputation, Social Network, Communities, Recommendation, Music, MySpace. Abstract. The user-generated content platforms like MySpace, YouTube or Flickr produce emergent sociability patterns and behaviors, which are well observed in various studies. Few of them deal with the nature of the reputation in these large social networks. In this work, we extract a sample of MySpace Music by parsing the artists' pages and following the "best friend" links. The study of the network shows that the online fame is composed by two independent features: the audience, dominated by the major companies' artists, and the influence, more associated with independent labels. We observe that most of the audience is focused on a few stars: the tail of MySpace Music is long, but flat. The network structure shows that artists tend to link to artists of similar reputation.

Lesson: Introduction to Classical Literature

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Classical literature refers to the literature written in the classical languages of Greek and Latin. These languages were used by ancient civilizations such as Greece and Rome. Classical literature includes works of poetry, drama, history, and philosophy that were written between 8th century BCE and 5th century CE.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

One example of classical literature is Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey," two epic poems that tell stories about the Trojan War and Odysseus' journey home. Another example is Virgil's "Aeneid," which tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero who travels to Italy and eventually founds Rome.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

Why is classical literature still relevant today? How has it influenced modern literature and culture? What can we learn from studying classical literature?

## Glossary

**Lesson: Understanding Isolated DC/DC Converters**

**Introduction**

In this lesson, we will learn about isolated DC/DC converters and their applications. We will cover the following topics:

- What is an isolated DC/DC converter?
- How does an isolated DC/DC converter work?
- Types of isolated DC/DC converters
- Applications of isolated DC/DC converters
- How to choose the right isolated DC/DC converter for your project

**What is an isolated DC/DC converter?**

An isolated DC/DC converter is a type of power supply that converts a higher voltage DC input to a lower voltage DC output while providing electrical isolation between the input and output. This means that the input and output sides of the converter are separated by a physical barrier, such as an transformer or optocoupler, to prevent current flow between them.

**How does an isolated DC/DC converter work?**

Isolated DC/DC converters use a transformer or optocoupler to provide electrical isolation between the input and output. The transformer or optocoupler steps down the input voltage to a lower voltage that can be regulated by a voltage regulator, such as a linear regulator or switching regulator. The regulator then produces a stable output voltage that is isolated from the input voltage.

There are two types of isolated DC/DC converters: non-isolated and isolated. Non-isolated converters do not provide electrical isolation between the input and output, while isolated converters do.

**Types of isolated DC/DC converters**

There are several types of isolated DC/DC converters, including:

1. Transformer-based isolators: These converters use a transformer to provide electrical isolation between the input and output. The transformer steps down the input voltage and provides a low-impedance path for the output current.

2. Optocoupler-based isolators: These converters use an optocoupler to provide electrical isolation between the input and output. The optocoupler consists of a light-emitting diode (LED) and a phototransistor (PT). The LED is driven by the input voltage, and the PT produces an output voltage that is isolated from the input voltage.

3. Magnetic isolator-based converters: These converters use a magnetic isolator to provide electrical isolation between the input and output. The magnetic isolator consists of a transformer and a magnetic shield that prevents magnetic fields from leaking between the input and output sides of the converter.

**Applications of isolated DC/DC converters**

Isolated DC/DC converters are used in a wide range of applications, including:

1. Medical equipment: Isolated DC/DC converters are used in medical equipment to provide electrical isolation between the patient and the equipment.

2. Industrial control systems: Isolated DC/DC converters are used in industrial control systems to provide electrical isolation between the control system and the power source.

3. Telecommunications equipment: Isolated DC/DC converters are used in telecommunications equipment to provide electrical isolation between the equipment and the power source.

4. Military and aerospace applications: Isolated DC/DC converters are used in military and aerospace applications to provide electrical isolation between the equipment and the power source.

**How to choose the right isolated DC/DC converter for your project**

When choosing an isolated DC/DC converter for your project, you should consider the following factors:

1. Output voltage: Choose a converter with an output voltage that matches your application requirements.

2. Output current: Choose a converter with an output current that matches your application requirements.

3. Electrical isolation: Choose a converter with the appropriate level of electrical isolation for your application.

4. Efficiency: Choose a converter with high efficiency to minimize heat generation and improve overall system performance.

5. Size and weight: Choose a converter with a size and weight that fits your application requirements.

**Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned about isolated DC/DC converters and their applications. We covered the basics of how these converters work and the different types of isolated DC/DC converters available. We also discussed how to choose the right isolated DC/DC converter for your project. By understanding these concepts, you can design more efficient and effective power supplies for your projects.


text: Because we do not see the inside of our AC/Heating duct system, we don’t often think of the contaminants that might be accumulating and spreading through the system for your family to breathe every day. Cleaning system components of your air duct system can make a substantial difference to the health and safety of your family. It takes a professional to clean your air duct system which includes cleaning: air supply and returns; air ducts and registers; grilles and diffusers; heat exchangers; heating and cooling coils; condensate drain pans (drip pans); fan motor and fan housing; and the air handling unit housing. Duct cleaning is something you might consider having done every 2-3 years, depending on the amount of contaminants that flow through your space.. Here are a few telling signs that your ducts need cleaning:. At Sunrise Mechanical, we found out for ourselves how valuable duct cleaning is for our family.

Lesson: Why Air Duct Cleaning is Important
Introduction:
Air ducts are an essential part of our homes and businesses, providing us with comfortable temperatures all year round. However, over time, these ducts can become clogged with dust, dirt, and other contaminants that can affect the quality of the air we breathe. In this lesson, we will learn why air duct cleaning is essential and how it can improve the health and safety of our families.
Section 1: Understanding Air Ducts
Air ducts are systems that transport air throughout a building. They are usually made of metal or plastic and can be found in walls, ceilings, and floors. The air in these ducts is heated or cooled and then distributed throughout the building through vents.
Section 2: The Importance of Air Duct Cleaning
Air duct cleaning is essential because it removes contaminants such as dust, dirt, and pollen from the air ducts. These contaminants can cause respiratory problems, allergies, and other health issues. Additionally, dirty air ducts can reduce the efficiency of your heating and cooling system, leading to higher energy bills.
Section 3: How to Clean Air Ducts
Cleaning air ducts involves removing any debris, dust, or dirt that has accumulated within the system. This can be done by a professional HVAC technician who will use specialized tools and equipment to clean the entire system.
Section 4: Signs That Your Air Ducts Need Cleaning
There are several signs that your air ducts may need cleaning. These include:
- Unusual odors coming from your vents
- Dust or debris coming out of your vents
- Family members experiencing respiratory problems or allergies
- Your heating and cooling system is not working efficiently
Conclusion:
In conclusion, air duct cleaning is an essential part of maintaining a healthy and safe environment in our homes and businesses. By removing contaminants from the air ducts, we can improve the quality of the air we breathe and reduce the risk of respiratory problems and allergies. We hope that this lesson has been informative and helpful in understanding the importance of air duct cleaning.

textbook:
# Lesson 4.1.1: Solving Equations with Like Terms
In this lesson, we will learn how to solve equations with like terms by combining them. This technique is useful when dealing with equations that involve the same variable multiple times.
## I. Theoretical Concepts
- A like term is a term that has the same variable and exponent.
- To combine like terms, we add or subtract their coefficients.
- The order of operations (PEMDAS) is used to simplify expressions.
## II. Practical Examples
- Solve the equation: 3x - 7 + 2x + 5 = 11x - 4.
  - Combine like terms:
    - 5x + 3 + 2x + 5 = 11x - 4
    - 7x + 8 = 11x - 4
    - 4x = -3
    - x = -3/4
- Solve the equation: 6y + 4y - 8 = 10y - 2.
  - Combine like terms:
    - 10y - 4y - 8 = 10y - 2
    - 6y = 12
    - y = 2
## III. Real-World Scenarios
- Imagine you are running a small business and need to calculate your profit. You have sold 20 products at $10 each, but you also have $5 in expenses. How much money do you have left?
  - Let P represent the number of products sold and E represent the expenses.
  - We can write the equation: P - 5P = 20(10) - 5
  - Combining like terms, we get:
    - 4P = 200
    - P = 50
  - Therefore, you have 50 products left. Since you sold 20 products, you have 30 more to sell to reach 50. Your profit would be 20(10) - 5 = 195 - 5 = 190.
## IV. Glossary
- Like terms: Terms that have the same variable and exponent.
- Coefficient: The number that multiplies the variable in an algebraic expression.
- Simplify: To make an expression or equation easier to understand or solve by removing unnecessary steps or operations.
## V. Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned how to solve equations with like terms by combining them. We applied this technique to two practical examples and a real-world scenario. By understanding this concept, we can apply it to other equations and problems in the future.

Comparison of cord blood transplantation with unrelated bone marrow transplantation in patients older than fifty years.
We retrospectively compared the transplantation outcomes for patients 50 years or older who received umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) with those who received unrelated bone marrow transplantation (UBMT) for hematologic malignancies. A total of 1377 patients who underwent transplantation between 2000 and 2009 were included: 516 received 8/8 HLA allele-matched UBMT, 295 received 7/8 HLA allele-matched UBMT, and 566 received 4/6 to 6/6 HLA-matched UCBT. Adjusted overall survival (OS) was significantly lower in those who underwent UCBT than those who underwent 8/8 HLA-matched UBMT but was similar to that of 7/8 HLA-matched UBMT (the 2-year OS after 8/8 HLA-matched UBMT, 7/8 HLA-matched UBMT, and UCBT were 49% [95% confidence interval (CI), 45% to 55%], 38% [95% CI, 32% to 45%], and 39% [95% CI, 34% to 43%], respectively). However, adjusted OS was similar between 8/8 HLA-matched UBMT and UCBT receiving ≥.84 × 10(5) CD34(+) cells/kg among those with acute myeloid leukemia and those with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (the 2-year OS was 49% [95% CI, 43% to 55%], and 49% [95% CI, 41% to 58%], respectively). These data suggest that UCB is a reasonable alternative donor/stem cell source for elderly patients with similar outcomes compared with UBM from 8/8 HLA-matched unrelated donors when the graft containing ≥.84 × 10(5) CD34(+) cells/kg is available.

Core Value: Voting in a competition is not necessary for everyone.
Lesson: The Importance of Voting
Introduction: In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of voting in different contexts. We will explore why people vote, when they vote, and the consequences of not voting.
Section 1: Why People Vote
Topic 1: Competitions
In competitions like American Idol, people vote for their favorite contestants. Voting is a way to show support for the contestants they like. It is also a way to influence the outcome of the competition. However, not everyone feels the need to vote. Some people may not have a favorite contestant, or they may not be invested in the outcome of the competition.
Topic 2: Elections
In elections, people vote for their chosen candidate or party. Voting is a way to express their political views and to choose who will represent them in government. It is an important part of a democratic society, as it allows citizens to have a say in the direction of their country.
Section 2: When People Vote
Topic 1: Regular Voting
People may vote regularly in competitions, such as American Idol, where they can vote multiple times per week. In elections, people usually vote once every few years, such as during a general election. However, some countries may have more frequent elections.
Topic 2: Early Voting
Some countries offer early voting, which allows people to vote before the official voting day. This can be convenient for people who cannot vote on the official voting day, such as those who are traveling or have work commitments.
Section 3: Consequences of Not Voting
Topic 1: Competitions
If someone does not vote in a competition, it may not affect the outcome of the competition. However, not voting may send a message that the contestant does not have enough support to win. This could affect the contestant's confidence and motivation.
Topic 2: Elections
Not voting in an election can have significant consequences. It can result in the election of a candidate or party that does not represent the voter's views. This can lead to policies and laws that the voter does not agree with. Additionally, not voting can lead to a low voter turnout, which can undermine the legitimacy of the election results.
Conclusion: Voting is an important part of our society, whether it is in a competition or an election. It is a way to express our opinions and to influence the outcome. However, not everyone may feel the need to vote in every situation. It is important to consider the consequences of not voting and to make an informed decision about whether or not to vote.
Glossary:
- Voting: the act of choosing or selecting someone or something
- Competition: a contest or rivalry between individuals or groups
- Election: a process by which people choose a representative
- Democracy: a system of government in which power is held by the people
- Legitimacy: the quality of being valid or authorized
- Turnout: the number of people who vote in an election

Lesson: Introduction to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)

**Section 1: Introduction to FOIA**

FOIA is a law that gives people the right to access information from the government. It was passed in 1966 and has since become an important tool for citizens to hold their government accountable. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of FOIA, including what it is, how it works, and why it matters.

**Section 2: What is FOIA?**

FOIA stands for the Freedom of Information Act. It is a law that gives people the right to access information from the government. This means that if you want to know how your tax dollars are being spent, or if you want to see documents related to a decision made by your local government, you can use FOIA to request that information.

**Section 3: How does FOIA work?**

FOIA works by allowing citizens to submit requests for information to government agencies. These requests are called "FOIA requests." When a request is received, the agency has to review it and determine whether or not the requested information can be released. If the information can be released, the agency must provide it to the requester. If the information cannot be released, the agency must provide a reason why it cannot be released.

**Section 4: Why does FOIA matter?**

FOIA matters because it helps to keep our government transparent and accountable. By giving people the right to access information, we can ensure that our government is operating in an open and honest manner. This is important because it allows us to make informed decisions about who we elect to represent us and how our tax dollars are being spent.

**Section 5: Practical Examples**

Let's say you live in a small town and you are concerned about the amount of money that the local government is spending on a new project. You decide to submit a FOIA request asking for all documents related to the project, including budgets, contracts, and meeting minutes. Once you receive the documents, you can review them to see if the project is being handled appropriately.

Another example might be a journalist who wants to write a story about a controversial policy change at a government agency. They submit a FOIA request asking for all emails and memos related to the decision-making process. By analyzing the documents, the journalist can uncover any potential conflicts of interest or improper behavior.

**Section 6: Conclusion**

FOIA is an important tool for keeping our government transparent and accountable. By submitting requests for information, we can ensure that our elected officials are operating in an open and honest manner. As we continue to learn more about FOIA, we can apply these skills to new problems and hold our government accountable.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag.
2. Description of the Related Art
In an identification technology for products, an RFID has come to be used in place of a barcode. The RFID is the technology that allows reading and writing of data from or into an RFID tag in a non-contact manner. The data is read and written by an RFID reader/writer. The RFID tag includes an integrated circuit (IC) chip, an antenna, and a substrate. The IC chip stores data such as its own identification code, and performs data exchange via the antenna with the RFID reader/writer. The IC chip is mounted on the antenna.
An internal layout of the RFID tag varies depending on a material to which the RFID tag is to be attached. In other words, an antenna pattern and a position of the IC chip on the antenna depend on the material. Therefore, in manufacturing the RFID tag, a manufacturing apparatus is adjusted so that the antenna pattern and the position of the IC chip are suitable for the material, and the antenna and the IC chip are formed in an integrated unit. For example, in a technology disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-366915, an antenna having a pattern suitable for the material is inscribed or affixed on a substrate, and then, an IC chip is mounted on the antenna at a position suitable for material.
However, the above technology of manufacturing an RFID tag is not cost-effective because, by such a method of manufacturing an RFID tag, mass production of an RFID tag is difficult.
