War of my life

Come out Angels ,Come out Ghosts, Come out Darkness, Bring everyone you know
I'm not running, I'm not scared, I am waiting and well prepared, I'm in the war of my life, At the door of my life
Out of Time and there's no where to run
I've got a hammer, And a heart of glass, I got to know right now, Which walls to smash, I got a pocket, Got no pill
If fear hasn't killed me yet ,Then nothing will
All the suffering , And all the pain, Never left a name,
I'm in the war of my life, At the door of my life, Out of time and there's nowhere to run

I was thinking of a different world the other day.
A world where you bought love, happiness , laughter, sadness, joy, fear, etc. I mean you literally have to spend money to buy the emotions
Food is available everywhere , all the poor people have food only the rich buy emotions , they have them in storage and accounts all over the world
When you have to experience an emotion you have to pay for it
People robbing the bank to steal 1000x loves and a thousand laughs. People have enough to eat , infact too much
Where 80% of the population is obese and only the rich and wealthy are in shape
But the poor cannot experience any emotions , many people get arrested for showing these emotions
They go to war for the right to love
The right to laugh
The right to feel , to feel anything at all
You have people addicted to love and hugs
People steal smiles
A world where everyone has enough to eat but only a few can experience emotions
No poverty , no diseases, no malnutrition
Just starving from emotions

Change

 "When we say things like people don’t change , it drives scientist crazy because change is the only thing that’s
constant in science , energy, matter, it’s always changing, morphing , merging , growing, dying, it’s the way people
try not to change that’s unnatural, the way we cling to the way things were and not letting them be the way they are .
The way we cling to old memories instead of forming new once , the way we insist on believing besides every scientific
signs that anything in this life is permanent , change is constant , how we experience change that’s up to us , it can
feel like death or it can feel like a second chance in life , it can feel like pure adrenalin like any moment we can have
another chance in life , like at any moment we can be born all over again ”

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of. Jim Rohn

vukosi's bubble : Save yourself...

vukosi's bubble : Save yourself...

Save yourself...

It just dawned on me that I have no funds under my name , i mean if i didn't get paid this month end then shit will hit the fan literally
I'm gonna get kicked out , blacklisted to mention but a few
How much of the things we hold dear are actually really ours , i am talking about even the clothes and shoes we wear, the bed we sleep on at night, the smart phone we flaunt
around, the place we live in. OK let me ask you this , if you didn't get paid this month end would your survive it ?
Will you have enough to eat, drink, and most importantly will you have a place to stay ?
How much of all these materials we own "rent" are actually ours, are we leaving on borrowed time, borrowed life styles, borrowed clothes and borrowed cars
It just really got me , I have a lot but I don't really own anything, my landlord just lets me leave there for now because I can pay rent in time if I didn't have the funds
the smile she gives me every month end would turn nasty very quickly , are we leaving on pay as you go ?
I don't know about you but I'm scared, things just got real. Leaving hand to mouth and in most cases its not that we cannot afford or have more than enough its that we
consume more than we can afford , we have more month than the money, we just cant stretch it long enough
Good plans fail for lack of counsel. I read the quote earlier in the morning today and i remembered someone saying: if you knew better you would do better
And knowing is just not good enough anymore the hardest thing is practise and consistency
Take the gym for an example we pay monthly on time or should I say they debit monthly and have the most up to date machines and equipment for us to use as we please
and we are still unfit, a bit fat too. Its not enough to know or to have we have to develop a culture of owning the things we need be it a dream car , house , and if i can be
bold enough to say build the perfect body for ourselves at the gym, we have all the things we need to do it but putting in the work is just too much
this also leaves out a big portion of our lives where most of us don't even have goals, yes we have dreams big once, it would be almost a miracle to meet someone who has
written financial , health, work etc goals that are written down and get marked as they reach these goals
Information is power they say , reading is not enough ladies and gentleman, understanding is not enough anymore , we have to apply the things we learn , we have to do them!!!
So here is a couple of ideas worth thinking about if your tired as me from living month to month. I personally found these things hard to do , to be honest i don't even do
them , go figure, hence i say information is not enough, what are you doing about it. I have taken it upon myself to do a few of these things starting with having an Emergency
Fund. I'm scared, very scared as to what would happen if i lost my income and had no way to pay for my living expenses not even enough to push me a whole month, this is just
embarrassing to say the list

Passive income

1.Dividends – One of the best, most consistent forms of passive income.  Dividend-paying stocks are generally about as rock-solid as you can get in the stock market,
and pay consistent dividends.  This is almost-guaranteed money.
2.Capital Gains – While not passive income in the same sense that dividends are, I still include it here.  Whether you’re watching the ticker or not, your stocks are
( potentially ) increasing in value over time. 
3.Real Estate Cash Flow – If you own real estate and currently have tenants, you should have some sort of positive cash flow.  This is mostly hands-off – you get that
income regardless.
4.Equity Growth – Month after month, year after year, your investment real estate grows in value.  The longer you hold it ( barring bubbles / bad market conditions ),
the more equity you gain.
5.Blogging Income – Some will argue and say that blogging isn’t exactly passive.  It is and it isn’t.  There’s certainly quite a lot of work involved – the posts don’t
write or promote themselves.  However, advertising revenues still tick upwards whether I’m writing a post, at my day job, eating dinner, or taking a nap.  I’ll consider
that to be passive.

Emergency Fund

Building Your Emergency Fund
It is very likely that you’ll will have to save up for your emergency fund goal, the question is so how much is the minimum you should save in your emergency fund?
Rules of thumb suggest
that you save up anywhere from 3 and 12 months’ worth of bills. I think a true bare minimum would be either enough money to cover one month’s expenses. Maybe this is
R3500 for some, while it might be much more for others. It is suggested that you start small to reach your initial goal, and that’s ok. The most important thing is to
get in the habit of setting money aside. Put aside as much as you can until you hit your bare minimum. Use a high yield account so that you can make the most out of your interest yields.
From that point, keep adding savings from each pay cheque until you reach an amount you feel comfortable with. Once you have the total amount saved in your emergency fund,
 you can practically forget about it until the need arises.You want to be able to get your money out quickly in the event of an emergency, so make sure that the money is in
 an accessible account. A high interest savings account. However, it’s important not to have this money too accessible.
A debit card linked to your emergency fund is usually not the best idea. Keep in mind that this account is for true emergencies, not for a Date, shoes or
50 % sale Of course, now that you have an emergency fund, you can now start saving in separate accounts for these items as well!

The way to build your savings is by spending less each month.

Love is blind

Let me tell you a little story : Once upon a time this girl met a married man and they had an affair , just to be clear , this girl knows the man is married.
so life went on, she fell pregnant with his child and he convinces her to get an abortion, then she fell pregnant again, another abortion
she had about 4 by this married man. He always says his gonna leave his wife and she doesn't take the job overseas because she doesn't wanna loose him, she loves him very
much, all her friends have tried to talk to her but she doesn't want to listen to anyone , she loves her man and that's the end of that topic. As the years pass by
she finally kept one of the babies , now the married man dies and she wants to bury her man but the wife wants nothing to do with her, they fight, she obviously looses
and her life is full of misery and anger , she just saw her life pass her by and she was in love with this man
the only thing she has that's from him is their love child, she remembers all the holidays, the weekends, the hotels, the late night phone calls, the dinners in far away
exclusive restaurants, the presents, all the lonely nights he couldn't be with her because he was at home with his family
End...

The only thing sad about this story is the love child who never knew his father , the only thing he remembers are the birthday presents and that's about it
And the child doesn't even have his fathers surname , our children deserve better, if you're in such a situation or know some one who is please lets stop the cycle
this is not fair to our children, and we all know when the boyfriend/married man dies things fall apart and your nowhere to be found in his will nor will his
family recognize you as their own

I could never be your boyfriend , 'Cause you know I gotta special girl, And I could never be your husband. But that don't mean you still don't rock my world
And I can take you to an island, We can be there, just the two of us, Girl, I love to see you smilin', All I ask is that you keep it hush, girl
I could take you out to dinner, But there's a couple of places we won't go,  'Cause number 1 is no beginner, And there's a couple things that she don't know
So I can take you to a hotel, We can be there just the two of us, Girl, I love you 'cause you don't tell, And you know just how to keep it hush, girl
Listen to me, Though I love your sex, I can't, I can't, I can't leave her, no, no, Though that arse is incredible ,But I can't, I can't, I can't leave her, no, no
See, we could have fun behind those doors, And we could do things, girl, behind those doors,  We can do anything you want behind those doors,
 And do it all night long behind those doors
So baby, be my number 2, girl, I love you, Be my number 2, girl, I need you, Be my number 2, girl, you're so fine, so fine Be my number 2 but you will never be my number 1

Men don't cry

Men don't cry, the only tears that should come out of your eyes that are acceptable is during the birth of you child , maybe when you buy your first car as well that is any more
tears make you less of a man or do they. Lets have a look at the elephant in the room male abuse, yes male abuse it's not really something you hear or read about daily
on the news nor will you see it trending on social sites but it does happen so this is me doing a bit of research on the topic and lets see if I can shed some light on the
issue . Something to also note before we begin I asked my male colleague if it happened to him would he report it  ",no I would rather die than tell anyone about it" it's a very strong statement to make thou hey. But he insist he would never tell a soul if it happened to him.

Top 10 myths of male sexual abuse and rape

• Boys and men can’t fall victim to sexual abuse.
• Males who are sexually abused will go on to become abusers themselves.
• All perpetrators of sexual abuse are male.
• Males sexually abused by males are, or will become bisexual or gay.
• If you get an erection and/or ejaculate during the sexual abuse, you must have enjoyed it.
• Only adult men in prison are sexually abused.
• Only men who are gay or bisexual can be sexually assaulted.
• If you never said no to the abuse, then it must be your fault
• Men should be capable of protecting themselves against sexual abuse
• If you didn't clearly remember the sexual abuse, it didn't really happen.

"South Africa is often described as the rape capital of the world, but what often goes unmentioned is the high incidence of male rape in this country. Male rape is extremely
rife in South African prisons. It often goes undetected as victims lives are threatened by fellow inmates. This unfortunately highlights the grim lack of determination
and will by the South African government to stamp out male-on-male rape. About one in 30 men (3.5%) in South Africa have been raped by a man, according to a study by
the Medical Research Council. The study shows that almost 10% of South African men have experienced sexual violence by another man."

Let me write you a bed time story like you have never read before "Imagine this. It’s a Thursday night at the home of the Sono's family. Well, let’s call them that. They've been
together for seven years and they seem to have the picture perfect marriage. Except it’s not perfect. As usual, one partner is at home with the kids while the other is out drinking.
At about midnight the kitchen door is flung open. That’s when the series of violence begins once more . A mixture of full-throated insults ­accompanied by flying fists. Sounds
familiar? Maybe not. In this case the abuser is a woman and the man is the one with the split lip. The scenario sounds shocking, especially in a country like South Africa
where experts say that one in every five women is raped or abused by their male partners and that a rape is committed every 17 seconds." The End.

I have come across loads of stats for woman abuse and only about 5% for men which indicates it's not talked about and men don't really report these cases. To be honest as a man
would you go to a police station and report that your wife or girlfriend is abusing you. The stigma and shame surrounding this issue is just incredible, so due to lack of
stats i took it upon myself to ask a few guys and get a few quotes as far as them having enough guts and glory to reporting their loved once to the police for violence
against them if they were ever in such a situation like that.

"We men get abused we are afraid that if other ppl knw that we are abused they would say I'm not men enough to stand my ground as a men, in the other hand we are afraid
of losing the ones we love and stay in the relationship just because she does certain things for me u know"
"No.... Manhood pride "
"NO, wouldn't report such incidents. Simply because in my culture and as an individual we believe a man should bein control of his woman/gf and its quiet embarrassing aswell"
"I really have no idea wat I would do in a situation like dat. I'll probably be 2 embarrassed 2 report her"
"I wouldn't, the reason as simple as it is difficult to can find anyone ho would believe me or pay attention."
This one is my personal favourite " Verbally, I would because the next time I lay hands on her, they would know that I had brought this up once, sexually? Nah, A man is
known to take control of a sexual relationship, it would be quite embarrassing to go and portray yourself as the weak link in that department of your life. Physically?
Eish nope, would just hit the gym and prepare for my revenge"
"No..it shud stay indoors it's a private thng hahaha"
"No I wouldn't. It's quite embarrassing to report such because people will take me as a coward, well above all it's all about pride us guys don't want to see
girls being the bigger person"

Out of the 100 man I asked 99/100 said they would not report it at all. That's a staggering figure , it is not that they are afraid but the embarrassment of it all is just way too much , our pride cant survive it. I want you for a moment to imagine giving testimony in court in front of your family and friends about your incidence .

Here are some unique reactions following a sexual assault that a man can experience

1. Tend to show more aggression and hostility than fear and tearfulness
2. Very likely to begin questioning their sexual identity or orientation
3. Downplaying the severity of the experience, making it seem as if the sexual abuse had no importance or traumatic value
4. Acting out or expressing emotion through sexual nuances or hints

Personally I can just imagine myself talking to my father about it , its not gonna go down well, his gonna ask me : if I am a man ? and that will be the end of that  conversation. Its sad hey, man don't cry, your suppose to suck it up, be a man they say. The above are just some quotes I got as feedback although I am sure its deeper than that, way deep .
Abused men feel insecure, scared, and alone. As this is not something that is common in society. They feel who would believe them anyway, so what is the
point of even making it public . The reality is that there are abused man out there, but this is just being swept under the mat.

What is Depression?

Depression is a medical illness which affects one’s mood, body, thoughts and feelings. 
there are several types and sub-types of depression. Although the exact cause is unknown, several biological, 
genetic and psychosocial factors have been identified as playing a role. With proper treatment 80 percent of sufferers will
improve and 60% will recover fully. Depression in childhood Reluctance to attend school and excessive clinging to parents may be symptoms of depression.
Poor academic performance or a change in scholastic achievement as well as behavioural problems such as substance abuse, sexual promiscuity and running away from home 
may be depressive symptoms in adolescence. 

I know this topic is not so popular but i just wanted to highlight some few facts and resources we can all use in our lives . We are all in the same boat and as you read 
further you may identify with some of the symptoms and isn't it good to know i got your back, life is for living not just surviving day-to-day 
You have to find pleasure in the daily tasks that you do , most of us a waiting for something to happen in our lives, a moment where we will start being serious or quit
this or that ,i got news for you today is a gift it's here for you to live 
so lets get our feet wet and maybe this information will help us understand each other a bit better and show more compassion towards one another. just to simplify 
depression is a medical illness which negatively affects one’s mood, body, thoughts and feelings basically that's what depression is, now that we have some ground to 
stand on lets dig in.

Who is affected ? 

It is estimated 6-10 people will experience an episode in any given year, with more woman than men being affected so that's (2:1) with others giving figures of 1 in 5 woman
will experience depression in any given year. Average age of a major depression is 40 . It may start in childhood or in later life, but this is less common and 
tends to present differently in different age groups [e.g. childhood (2%) – apathy; adolescence (5%) – behavioural problems; elderly (25 to 50%) – physical complaints]

Types 

There types and sub-types of depression , lets look the most common 3

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) – When you have lost of interest and activities for at lest about 2 weeks
Bipolar Disorder – This one is less common and affects only 2% of the population . Males and females are affected equally
Dysthymia – This is a chronic type which may last for several years 

Other types of depressive illness
Minor Depressive Disorder ,Recurrent Brief Depressive Disorder , Post-partum Depression , Post-partum Depression .
Depressive illnesses may also be related to drug and alcohol abuse as well as dependence on prescription medication.

Causes 
Lets look at the Biological factors and Psychosocial factors

Hormonal factors: Increased secretion of cortisol from the adrenal gland during stress is associated with depression
Neurotransmitters: Studies have shown that brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) play a mediating role in the development of depression
Neuroanatomical/Neurophysiological considerations: CT Scans and MRI studies, although inconsistent, have shown differences in the size of some of the brain structures 
(e.g. caudate nucleus) in depressed patients as well as alterations in blood flow to certain areas.
Genetic factors: Inherited factors are an important component in the development of mood disorders.
Recreational drugs/medication: Some drugs (recreational and prescription) and alcohol can cause or exacerbate depression.
Medical illness: Illness including strokes, Parkinson’s disease, Cushing's disease and thyroid disease, among others, maybe a contributory physiological factor.

Psychosocial factors : difficult events in your lifer such as the loss of a loved one , financial insecurity etc . more often precede the first episode of mood 
disorders than subsequent episodes. Family relations (eg a broken home), the family environment as well as its coping patterns may increase a vulnerability to 
a depressive disorder

Symptoms

The most commonly reported symptoms are as follows:

A depressed or low mood or feeling of sadness
Increased irritability 
Increased anxiety or a feeling of nervousness
Loss of interest or pleasure in activities that were previously enjoyed
Tearfulness or a feeling of wanting to cry, but a possible inability to do so
Decreased sexual interest or other sexual problems
Changes in appetite resulting in either weight gain or weight loss when not dieting
Changes in sleep pattern
Changes entailing either difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking during the night or waking up unusually early in the morning and not being able to return to sleep. Sleep may also be increased with a desire to be asleep most of the time.
A feeling of being chronically tired and energy-less or demotivated
A slowing down or speeding up of physical activity (including speaking very softly or slowly)
Feeling worthless, useless and helpless
Feeling inappropriately excessively guilty (and possibly blaming oneself for being depressed or unable to “snap out of it”)
Difficulty thinking, concentrating or remembering
Difficulty making decisions, even over simple matters
A feeling that life is not worth living and frequently thinking about death and/or suicide
Becoming increasingly socially withdrawn and feeling reluctant to entertain or go out visiting
Not bothering to dress properly/self-neglect
Multiple physical complaints, e.g. frequent headaches, back aches/stomach aches or constipation
Alteration in menstrual cycle

Treatment

The first aim of treatment is to make sure the safety of the patient for whom hospitalization maybe required (i.e. suicidal/unable to care for self). Secondly, a complete diagnostic evaluation must be carried out.
Secondly, a complete diagnostic evaluation must be carried out. 
Thirdly, a treatment plan has to be formulated which takes into account both immediate symptoms and the patient’s future well-being.

Lets look at other methods that can be used : Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal psychotherapy, Family therapy, Antidepressants,
Electroconvulsive therapy, Self-help .

Prevention

One cannot alter a genetic vulnerability or a history of loss, but much can be done to decrease stressors . A balanced life-style with adequate social interaction and support, and knowledge of what comprises depression, so that help can be sought at the right time, can all help to prevent depressive episodes.

We are all in it and more. There is this saying: count your blessings one by one and surely you will see you have more than enough.
I want more , bigger, faster, more. These things are what makes us humans , it's what makes people wake up in the morning to go to a job they hate, dress up for people we don't
even like, spend money on take-aways at work knowing very well we don't have enough to eat at home , take up loans to buy nice things , drive cars we can't afford
wear clothes that are above our budget , live in places we can't afford, we have in us the desire to please others , to be seen as doing better than others
in all our achievements and daily tasks of mother hood , father hood etc we all influence other people's behaviours, we have the opportunity to make a difference in their lives and how they treat other people

We wake up every morning
Go to sleep every night
Hoping for something better , working towards more , more and more after more. We come and go . We leave behind memories and people

"Imagine living your life without the fear of being
judged by others. You no longer rule your behavior
according to what others may think about you.
You are no longer responsible for anyone’s
opinion. You have no need to control anyone, and
no one controls you, either. A new dream
Imagine that you have permission to be happy
and to really enjoy your life. Your life is free of
conflict with yourself and with others.
Imagine living your life without fear of

Tradition and Culture

Tradition

The transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to generation, or the fact of being passed on in this way.
A doctrine believed to have divine authority though not in the scriptures, in particular:
Any kind of teaching, written or spoken, handed down from generation to generation.
A tradition is a belief or behavior passed down within a group or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past.
Common examples include holidays or impractical but socially meaningful clothes (like lawyer wigs or military officer spurs), but the idea has also been
applied to social norms such as greetings. Traditions can persist and evolve for thousands of years—the word "tradition" itself derives from the Latin tradere or
traderer literally meaning to transmit, to hand over, to give for safekeeping

Culture

Development or improvement of the mind by education or training.
The behaviors and beliefs characteristic of a particular social, ethnic, or age group
The total of the inherited ideas, beliefs, values, and knowledge, which constitute the shared basis of social action
The enlightenment or refinement resulting from these pursuits
The sum of attitudes, customs, and beliefs that distinguishes one group of people from another. Culture is transmitted, through language, material objects, ritual,
institutions, and art, from one generation to the next.

Is culture what you do and tradition who your are. Is tradition what you do and culture who you are. Here is something that i also come across
Culture is a type of heritage. This defines where you came from and your ancestry as well as the country of your birth or your ancestors birth.
Tradition is a type of activity. This is something that your family or your culture has done for a long time. This could be celebrating Christmas
with candles or getting together for a party in the summer.

As a young man working towards having a family of his own in the years to come i cant help but be confused by the 2 concepts , so do i teach my children my language
which will constitute my tradition and teach them my lifestyle which will be their culture ? or is it the other way round. I am becoming more observant of the 2,
honestly the only thing i can teach my children is my language. I have never been to any cultural events or lived in such an environment i can call cultural ,
apparently we have a King back in my home town and i have no idea who he is or anything relating to his royal claims .For argument sake lets look at "Lobola" this is
a long standing tradition since the dawn of time , so my family goes to her house and gives them 5 cows that was back then now my family goes to her house and gives them a
specified amount of money . One can also see tradition as a pillar , culture as the design, you don't change or move the pillars but you can work around them to design
 something new , that's if you dare . I'm left with more questions than answers as i write this blog, i should re-visit this one very soon.  

A bit too close for comfort

A tithe (tenth) is a one-tenth part of something, paid as a contribution to a religious
organization or compulsory tax to government.[1] Today, tithes are normally voluntary and paid in cash, cheques, or stocks,
since historically tithes were required and paid in kind, such as agricultural products. Several European countries operate a formal process linked to the tax system allowing some churches to assess tithes. Are we afraid to go to church because we have to pay up , is church becoming more expensive or we are not that giving anymore .
Times have changed but the principle remains the same , give unto him 10% of everything you produce/earn. Lets take a look at some few points.

Fashion - No person i know or have met wears the same church clothes twice in a given month. We are always about the latest suit , dress
jean, shoes , i mean you can't just go to church looking like your poor right( even if you are ), you have to be presentable , but who are we being presentable
for , Our peers , Pastors , God , all of us want to look good i admit but aren't we taking it a bit further than we should.

 Cars - The bigger the better.

Weddings - The bigger the better.

Choirs - Isnt it good to be apart of something , back then at our old church everyone sang from sunday school kids, youth, parents
, old people everyone sang , everyone belonged somewhere in the church , you couldn't leave without singing , you belonged even if it
was just for 1 song on a sunday, you contributed something and your presence was felt.

Band - I would say maths takes over here , you're getting a bit older and wanna play the drums , sure thing, the drummer at church would
teach you, let you play a few times during service and eventually you become the drummer and so on . Nah but these days it's almost as if
you have to be a professional or someone who someone important at the church know.

Ushers - Personally i don't really like them , don't get me wrong i like the fact that they greet you with amen at the door and are a bit
holier than you "coughs , it's just they just have this sense of belonging as if they are just borrowing you the seat at church as soon
as service is over you better get out and we will see you next week sunday.

Hair - Dont get me started , im not even going to comment on this one.

So those are just a couple of issues that make finding a church worth paying tithe for a bit difficult , some like a church where people
sing a lot and dance , some like a praying church where the praise and worship takes longer ,
some like table of contents - sit down - welcoming -2 songs - announcements - offerings sermon - time to go home
we all have little things that makes us like going to a certain church , some of us are born into a specific churchers and that's that , whilst
some find their own . I understand church needs money , why can't they just say that . we need tithes , offerings and etc then we pay up
and get just a bit closer to heaven
after all that's why we go to church to prepare ourselves for the coming of our Lord and Saviour and associate with other believers

Just to be fair there some uncool people at church , some are poorer , some well they just: only God knows
and it is our duty to treat everyone the same regardless, churches aren't a community anymore , if you have enough to get to the inner circle at church then your sorted as for the rest of us amen.
we reason , think , judge too much , we do really . We need to go back to church, going to church should fill us with joy and hope and not a sense of judgment by others. Knowing a few more scriptures than me shouldnt make you feel like your a better , if you know more why dont you teach.


“Giving out of your surplus does not make you generous, it makes your selfishness more tolerable! Giving while you are lacking is what pleases the Lord.” William Branks
