Adele used to love sweet treats, filling up on her beloved Jammie Dodgers, Tesco Chocolate Indulgence cake and cup after cup of PG Tips with two sugars.

But over the past year the singing superstar has completely changed her lifestyle and diet, and the transformation is incredible.

She shared another photo of her new look on social media to celebrate her 32nd birthday, and fans were blown away.

It shows her wearing a little black mini- dress with a sexy bardot neckline and billowing sleeves, standing inside a floral flower arrangements for her lockdown celebrations.

It's believed that Adele has lost a staggering seven stone since her divorce from Simon Konecki, turning her back on junk food and reportedly embracing the Sirtfood Diet.

The plan sees slimmers pack their plates with plant-based foods like strawberries, blueberries, apples, citrus fruits, walnuts, parsley, kale, capers, soy, turmeric and dark chocolate.

The foods are known as sirtuin activators, and are said to turn on the fat-burning gene and regulate the appetite in the process.

Green tea and cocoa powder are also on the menu, along with red wine and cheese.

The diet is notoriously gruelling to start, with followers limited to 1,000 calories a day consisting of three green smoothies and one small meal.

Between days four to seven the calorie limit rises to 1,500 calories made up from two green smoothies and two small meals.

And the 14-day maintenance phase allows three Sirtfood-based meals with one green smoothie.

Dishing on Adele's regime, her former personal trainer Camila Goodis - told the Daily Mail: "She's working out but I think 90 per cent of it is diet.

"It's a good diet to shed the weight. The first week is intense, green juices and only 1,000 calories," she said.

And defending Adele's new slimline look, the trainer to the stars added: "She doesn't look too thin - she looks amazing."

Now in the maintenance stage, Adele's breakfast options include choc chip granola with pecans and jumbo oats or apple pancakes with blackcurrant compote.

Lunches features turmeric, chicken and kale salad, or baked potato and chickpea stew while the dinners include chargrilled beef with red wine jus and onion rings, garlic kale and herb roasted potatoes.

However, nutritionist have warned that the extreme programme could actually lead to more weight gain in the long term.

Dietitian Emer Delaney told the BBC: "At first glance, this is not a diet I would advise for my clients.

"Having a glass of red wine or a small amount of chocolate occasionally wont do us any harm - I wouldnt recommend them on a daily basis.We should also be eating a mixture of different fruits and vegetables and not just those on the list.

"In terms of weight loss and boosting metabolism, people may have experienced a seven pound weight loss on the scales, but in my experience this will be fluid. As soon as people return to their regular eating habits, they will regain the weight."

Exercise is a very individual thing. For many people, early morning is the only time of day available to exercise. For others, it is late evening. But if you have a choice, which is best?

Although we all know that exercise is important, we have lives with jobs, families, friends, household duties, errands and even the need for some rest and sleep.

Both morning and evening exercise have health benefits and potential pitfalls, but for most people, the right time to exercise is not about how many calories you burn or how much weight you lift. It is more about how you feel when exercising and how exercise fits into your daily schedule.

Of course, the best time to work out is whenever you can. But the best-best time of day to exercise is the time you can stick with for days, weeks and months. The fact of the matter is that people who exercise consistently see better weight loss and fitness results in the long-term.

Given that, morning workouts and night workouts both have their advantages and disadvantages as evidenced by decades of scientific research.

However, according to multiple research studies, morning workouts truly do have an edge.

People who exercise in the morning are often more consistent simply because morning workouts leave less room for excuses.

Waking up early might be difficult at first, but research suggests that a morning exercise habit can shift your circadian rhythm so that your body is naturally more alert in the morning and more tired in the evening. So, you fall asleep earlier and can exercise in the morning again.

Morning exercise also seems to boost deep sleep more than evening exercise. Plus, sleep helps muscle growth, so you might even see more strength gains if your circadian rhythm and sleep cycle improve.

Exercising on an empty stomach is proven to burn more fat than exercising after a meal. This happens because your body must utilize fat stores that already exist to fuel exercise, rather than use the calories you just ate. Other research also shows that the afterburn of calories by increased metabolism lasts longer when you exercise in the morning.

Exercising in the morning has a beneficial effect on energy levels, alertness, focus and decision-making, which can translate to a more productive workday.

Morning workouts can cause release of endorphins that your body produces in response to exercise can keep your mood improved long past your exercise.

Early morning workouts have their drawbacks, too.

If you did not eat enough the evening before, you might find yourself battling serious hunger mid-workout.

Depending on your sleep cycle, an early-morning alarm might interrupt deep sleep. This can result in sleep inertia (feeling groggy for a while after you wake up), as well as chronic fatigue if it happens often.

Most people do not roll out of bed feeling great. You might experience stiffness in your joints and temporary inflexibility. You should loosen up as you warm up, but studies show that certain strength markers, including peak power, are higher in the evening.

Your core body temperature is also lower in the morning. So, jumping into a workout, rather than slowly easing in, can result in injury. This is true all the time, but especially when your body is cooler.

Between noon and 4 p.m., many people feel more flexible, more mobile, and more physically energetic, which makes afternoon and evening the best time to exercise if possible.

Research shows that most people function better, physically speaking, later in the day. Muscle strength, flexibility, power output and endurance are all better in the evening than they are in the morning. Plus, people who exercise in the evening take up to 20% longer to reach the point of exhaustion.

Testosterone is important for building muscle in men and women, and your body might produce more of it during afternoon workouts than morning workouts, resulting in greater strength and muscle gains.

Exercise is a good way to relieve stress, but working out at night can really help you blow off some steam. The surge of endorphins you get during and after exercise can really help.

If you have some evening or nighttime habits you want to replace, like snacking, drinking, smoking, or watching too much TV, exercise can take the place of those habits.

Unfortunately, there are also some potential downsides to later exercise.

Although exercising at night is not always detrimental to sleep, scientists have found that some people might experience jitters if they work out too close to bedtime. This generally only applies to intense exercise, whereas yoga, stretching and other gentle exercises can improve your sleep when performed before bed.

If you are like many people, exercising at night may not work for you simply because you are too tired after a long day. Afternoon and evening workouts might interfere with daily responsibilities, especially if things tend to pile up during the day. If that seems familiar, you might try shifting your daily routine to fit in a morning workout instead.

No matter what time of day works best for you, get some exercise when you can.

Achieving fitness success is more complex than just the extreme muscle burns, gut wrenching lifts, blood, sweat, and tear workouts. There is an important low-impact and very relaxing piece of the exercise puzzle that must not be forgotten each time that you train!

Achieving fitness success is more complex than just the extreme muscle burns, gut wrenching lifts, blood, sweat, and tear workouts. There is an important low-impact and very relaxing piece of the exercise puzzle that must not be forgotten each time that you train! And that is improving your flexibility, mobility and stretching! Please take time every workout to stretch so that you maintain and help promote your muscle recovery, flexibility and joint mobility! It improves quality of life through increased range of motion and takes only five to seven minutes of your time following your pre-workout warm up, and only 10 to 15 minutes at the conclusion of your training session.

Too many times after physical activity, we fail to slow down and stretch before rushing out of the gym on our way to complete the rest of our busy day. I offer a better alternative for you to try. Take time to promote flexibility and mobility by stretching following your workouts, and use that time to reflect on short and/or long-term accomplishments for yourself.

Just relax, acknowledge, and enjoy the fact that you have successfully completed a very important part of your day that will absolutely help keep you healthy, vibrant, functioning well, and strong. I hope everyone sees the benefit, and agrees that taking steps to remain in the best shape of your life physically is absolutely one of the most important accomplishments of each and every day! I encourage you to celebrate and be proud of your efforts, stretch, and reflect after every workout!

Not only is stretching very relaxing, but it has additional benefit. It promotes better posture and may help avoid chronic injuries due to poor postural alignment and musculature imbalances. Flexibility training may help realign skeletal structure that has adapted to habits of incorrect posture and poor exercise technique. After including consistent flexibility training over a period of time, you will often find it easier to maintain posture throughout the day, and improved muscular balance will make the efforts of daily activities less strenuous.

Increased range of motion at the joints may also be achieved. Flexibility training can provide for a greater joint efficiency and result in a safer movement. A mobile joint moves more easily through a range of motion and requires less energy to execute.

Also, the development of your functional strength is enhanced. Stretches performed for your entire body will prepare you for movements routinely executed throughout the course of your normal day. (Lifting, turning, kneeling, walking, etc) Stretches typically mimic these everyday movements, challenges the muscles and joints involved, and prepare you to perform them with ease.

Most agree that stretching and increased range of motion may also help with injury prevention.

A person may decrease chances of injury because the maximum range available before soft tissue damage occurs will not likely be exceeded.

And fitness enthusiasts of all levels certainly dont want to miss out on the benefit of reduced muscle soreness that comes with stretching following strenuous physical activity. Effective muscle recovery is another important benefit of regular stretching you want to include in your comprehensive fitness program. Maximum muscle recovery promotes short-term maximum muscle performance for your next workout, and long term overall program compliance and success!

Finally stretching absolutely promotes personal enjoyment, relaxation and reduced stress! There is nothing like a good, long stretch after a challenging physical workout. It will relax, rejuvenate and prepare you for the rest of the day.

After your workout, I encourage you to just lay back and get completely lost in your stretches for the entire body. Take your time and lengthen your muscles back to normal. This will allow for proper recovery, prevent cramping, decrease soreness, and reduce the risk of injury often related to tight muscles while performing post workout physical tasks at home or work.

Until next week please enjoy more stretches, increase muscle flexibility and joint mobility, reflect and acknowledge your accomplishments after workouts, and strive for maximum recovery to propel your quality of life and fitness results to the next level! Until next week please make it a healthy and nutritious day!

Main, Downtown Shawnee, (405) 613-0237! Ask about the 24 Day Challenge that jump starts weight loss and improves health, while toning you up!

This essay, by Nicole Fang, 16, from Richard Montgomery High School in North Potomac, Md., is one of the top eight winners of the Learning Networks first-ever STEM Writing Contest, for which we received 1,618 entries. You can find the work of all of our student winners here.

Fat Got Your Tongue?

Twenty-two million Americans stop breathing in their sleep without knowing. Snuggling up under their covers and swirling to the beautiful chaos of a new dream, their upper airway muscles stealthily relax, pinching off any aperture to oxygen. As breathing momentarily cuts off and reflexes violently kick in, their bodies unconsciously embark on a workout of raucous snoring, sporadic wake-ups and high blood pressure. For many struggling to get sufficient rest after a full night of what is known as obstructive sleep apnea, or O.S.A., their troubles may be attributed to one key culprit: fat tongues.

When you stick your tongue all the way out while looking in a mirror, can you see your entire uvula? If not, you may suffer from bearing an unusually large tongue, which falls back against the back of your throat as you sleep, effectively closing the airway and suspending respiratory activity for more than ten seconds.

While this increasingly common condition occasionally affects slim folks, overweight people make up around 70 percent of those with sleep apnea, according to a study published by Surendra Kumar Sharma in the journal Chest. With obesity continuing its unrelenting climb among adults today, weight loss is key for treating apnea.

Supporting this idea is a recent study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, where researchers gathered 67 people suffering from obesity and severe sleep apnea. Taking MRI scans of each participants pharynx as they lost around 10 percent of their body weight, the analysts observed tongue fat reduction to be the primary link between weight loss and apnea relief.

No one really understands the relationship of obesity to sleep apnea, and no one knows much about tongue fat in general, said Dr. Richard Schwab, senior author of the study. But the correlation between the three is significant. In his final statistical report, Dr. Schwab disclosed how losing weight reduced tongue fat by an average of 20 percent a change greater than that of any other airway structure and consequently, a 31 percent improvement in sleep apnea scores. Essentially, the slimmer the tongue, the more the disorders symptoms improved.

Acknowledging the agent and solution to this condition is critical in improving the quality of many lives, as apnea left untreated is a serious matter, according to Jonathan Jun, a sleep medicine specialist at Johns Hopkins. Were talking about car accidents in the daytime, lost productivity at work, mood swings, and falling asleep in class, he said. In a more long-term perspective, sleep apnea also instigates heart disease, stroke and metabolic issues like diabetes.

The scariest part? You might not even know you have this prevalent disorder. With nine in 10 patients still undiagnosed, as reported by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, Dr. Jun encourages everyone to simply avoid trouble by maintaining a healthy weight.

Its nothing new, really, to ask people to keep an eye on their weight, he said. But now, we know tongue fat is a risk factor for O.S.A., giving us a unique therapeutic target for future testing that weve never had before.

A Twin Cities nursing home with a troubled regulatory past has become the site of one of the states largest coronavirus outbreaks continuing a deadly trend among senior facilities with poor health and safety records.

At North Ridge Health and Rehab, a large senior community in New Hope with a 320-bed nursing home, 44 residents have died and another 68 have been sickened by the COVID-19 respiratory illness in recent weeks. Only one other senior facility in the state has seen more fatalities from the virus.

North Ridge shares a troubling characteristic with many of the nursing homes across Minnesota beset by coronavirus outbreaks: Historically, it has struggled to adhere to basic standards of patient care. The facility has been fined $117,000 by federal regulators and cited for dozens of health and safety violations over the last three years.

Its repeated run-ins with regulators fit a pattern: So far, 75% of the approximately 70 nursing homes in the state with at least one case of COVID-19 have been cited for not following infection control rules over the last two inspection cycles, starting in 2016, according to a Star Tribune analysis of federal health inspection data.

We have seen this across the country, where facilities that failed to take basic health and safety controls seriously are having the most problems amid the coronavirus pandemic, said Toby Edelman, senior policy attorney with the Center for Medicare Advocacy in Washington, D.C. Its one reason the virus spreads so rapidly.

Officials at the Minnesota Department of Health said it has been changing its practices to respond to the pandemic. The agencys health regulation staff has been prioritizing infection control during surveys and conducting onsite visits of facilities with past performance problems. The department has also been sending teams of infection control experts into nursing homes and assisted-living facilities to help contain deadly outbreaks.

Still, long-term care facilities like North Ridge remain ground zero for the pandemic in Minnesota. Together they account for 80% of the 485 deaths statewide from the virus. This pandemic is shining an even brighter light on the systemic issues in long-term care, said Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm, in legislative testimony last week.

A spokesman for North Ridge said its size partly explains why it has experienced such a large COVID-19 outbreak. The nursing home was caring for about 300 patients when the pandemic began and is the largest long-term care facility in the state. North Ridge is also one of the few long-term care facilities in Minnesota that has been accepting hospital patients diagnosed with COVID-19. In the last 10 days alone, the nursing home has admitted 15 patients who had previously tested positive for the illness, the spokesman said.

Yet the nursing home is reporting signs that it has turned the corner in its efforts to contain the deadly outbreak. The facility has isolated sickened residents on dedicated COVID-19 units within its building, while screening employees daily for symptoms and imposing stringent physical distancing and sanitation measures. Since April 29, the facility has seen a reduction in the number of its residents testing positive for the virus, the facility said. About 30 of its staff have also tested positive for the virus.

Austin Blilie, vice president of operations at North Ridge, noted that the 44 deaths at the facility represent 3.2% of the positive COVID-19 tests, which is below the statewide ratio. This is an awful virus and the fight against it is extremely difficult, he said.

Still, even before the pandemic, North Ridge stood out as a repeat violator of basic standards for care.

In early January, inspectors found 23 health violations at the nursing home nearly three times the average number of citations for Minnesota nursing homes during inspections. The facility has also been fined three times and had its Medicaid or Medicare payments denied on two occasions, a penalty typically imposed when problems persist, according to federal records.

Patti Schuveiller is relieved that she moved her 90-year-old mother, who had an apartment in the independent living section at North Ridge, out immediately after her mother tested positive for COVID-19. Her mother had lost 20 pounds and was suffering from severe nausea and gastrointestinal problems before the facility agreed to her familys urgent request that she be tested for the virus, Schuveiller said.

Her mother, Joyce Roycraft, is now in stable condition and is recovering from the virus at a rehabilitation facility.

I firmly believe that, had my mother stayed at [North Ridge], she would not be alive today, Schuveiller said. The facility was not set up to provide the quality of care that she needed.

Health regulators have cited North Ridge for a wide range of violations related to safety, quality of care and resident rights.

These included failing to report allegations of abuse, failing to maintain an adequate supply of insulin, and not monitoring a patients rapid weight loss. Last June the facility was cited for failing to thoroughly investigate an incident in which a patient pulled out a knife and threatened another resident. A month later, North Ridge was cited for failing to report potential sexual abuse between two residents with cognitive disabilities who were found undressed together in bed, records show.

All told, North Ridge has 26 complaints over the past three years that resulted in citations. The nursing home earned just two stars (below average) on the federal governments five-star rating system for overall care. However, it received four stars in the category of quality measures, which includes care measures such as prevalence of falls and emergency room visits.

Most of the facilitys health and safety violations over the past three years were classified as causing minimal harm or potential for actual harm, health records show. Still, we knew after those inspections that we had significant work to do and we have made strong progress, said Blilie, the facilitys vice president of operations.

Eilon Caspi, a gerontologist and adjunct faculty member at the University of Minnesotas School of Nursing, said the records illustrate the importance of examining a nursing homes inspection history when searching for a facility. The federal governments website, Nursing Home Compare, assigns quality-of-care ratings to all nursing homes and contains health inspection reports going back three years.

While flawed, the Nursing Home Compare tool can point to poor standards of care, he noted. For instance, a New Jersey nursing home, where 17 corpses were recently found piled inside a facility where nearly 70 had already died from COVID-19, had the lowest overall ranking of one star. However, using the same rating system, the nursing home with Minnesotas deadliest coronavirus outbreak, St. Therese of New Hope, where nearly 50 residents have died, earned four out of five stars despite having a large number of health violations.

You find patterns of citations that can provide a general sense of the quality of care, Caspi said.

High blood pressure is a condition which causes pressure inside the arteries to be higher than they should be. If left untreated, dangerous health conditions could arise including heart attacks or a stroke. Eating too much salt, drinking too much alcohol, being overweight and not getting enough exercise can all lead to a person developing the condition. Foods and drinks can either help or hinder high blood pressure and consuming more of this drink has been proven to help lower your reading.

Diet plays an essential role when it comes to high blood pressure.

Mayo clinic said: If youve been diagnosed with high blood pressure, you might be worried about taking medication to bring your numbers down.

Lifestyle plays an important role in treating your high blood pressure.

If you successfully control your blood pressure with a healthy lifestyle, you might avoid, delay or even reduce the need for medication.

Adding apple cider vinegar to your daily routine will help to lower your reading.

Apple cider vinegar has long been hailed as a healthy option to add to ones diet.

The drink has been seen as a popular cure all for many illnesses and conditions including an upset stomach, high cholesterol and sore throats.

In fact, the ancient Greek doctor Hippocrates used apple cider vinegar for wound care and in the 10th century it was used with sulphur as a hand wash during autopsies to help prevent infection.

Studies have shown that apple cider vinegar could play a key role in helping one to keep their blood pressure low.

In a study with Taylor & Francis Online, the effects of acetic acid vinegar on hypersensitive rats was investigated.

The study noted: To clarify the possibility of a preventative effect of dietary vinegar on blood pressure, long-term administration of vinegar or the acetic acid to SHR was examined.

As a result, it was observed that acetic acid itself, the main component of vinegar, significantly reduced blood pressure and renin activity compared to controls given no acetic acid or vinegar, as well as vinegar.

Apple cider vinegar can also be used to help with weight loss which in turn helps to lower blood pressure.

In a 12-week study, 144 obese Japanese adults consumed either one tablespoon of vinegar, two tablespoons of vinegar or a placebo drink every day.

The participants were told to restrict their alcohol intake but to continue their usual diet and activity throughout the study.

Those who consumed one tablespoon of vinegar per day had on average weight loss of 2.6 pounds and those who consumed two tablespoons of vinegar per day lost 3.7 pounds.

The placebo group gained 0.9 pounds and their waist circumference slightly increased.

Cooks Global Foods Limited (NZSE:CGF) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 18% in the last month. But that is little comfort to those holding over the last half decade, sitting on a big loss. In that time the share price has delivered a rude shock to holders, who find themselves down 62% after a long stretch. So we're hesitant to put much weight behind the short term increase. We'd err towards caution given the long term under-performance.

See our latest analysis for Cooks Global Foods

Given that Cooks Global Foods didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

Over half a decade Cooks Global Foods reduced its trailing twelve month revenue by 8.6% for each year. That's definitely a weaker result than most pre-profit companies report. It seems appropriate, then, that the share price slid about 18% annually during that time. We don't generally like to own companies that lose money and don't grow revenues. You might be better off spending your money on a leisure activity. This looks like a really risky stock to buy, at a glance.

You can see below how earnings and revenue have changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image).

NZSE:CGF Income Statement May 9th 2020

We're pleased to report that the CEO is remunerated more modestly than most CEOs at similarly capitalized companies. But while CEO remuneration is always worth checking, the really important question is whether the company can grow earnings going forward. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on Cooks Global Foods's earnings, revenue and cash flow.

It's good to see that Cooks Global Foods has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 29% in the last twelve months. Notably the five-year annualised TSR loss of 18% per year compares very unfavourably with the recent share price performance. The long term loss makes us cautious, but the short term TSR gain certainly hints at a brighter future. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Take risks, for example - Cooks Global Foods has 5 warning signs (and 1 which is a bit concerning) we think you should know about.

Now more than ever, South Africans need to take better care of their hearts as Covid-19 may pose a higher risk for patients with chronic illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes.

However, maintaining a nourishing diet to keep heart and body healthy can prove rather difficult for some and may require the help of an expert.

With help from Pharma Dynamics Cooking from The Heart healthy eating programme, all you have to do is follow heart-friendly recipes for healthier versions of some of your favourite meals.

Developed by healthy food consultant Heleen Meyer and dietitians from the Heart and Stroke Foundation the Cooking from the Heart programme consists of more than 100 breakfasts, lunches and suppers with a healthy twist that will tantalise everyones taste buds.

Regardless of whether the world is in the midst of a fight against a global health pandemic, nutrition plays an important part in supporting a strong immune system and curbing the onset of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, Pharma Dynamics spokesperson Nicole Jennings said.

Following a diet which includes plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit, lean proteins, and one which is low in salt and sugar, as per Pharma Dynamics Cooking from the Heart healthy eating programme, is recommended, she said.

Fad diets dont work, and its important that people stick to a healthy and balanced meal plan that they can follow for life.

Very restrictive diets will likely result in short-term weight-loss, but most people cant maintain it and its not healthy over the long term.

Its best to follow a healthy meal plan.

A simple approach to a change in diet, she advises, is to become aware of salt and sugar intake, as well as portion control.

Reading food labels helps to keep track of how much fat, sugar and cholesterol the food contains.

Try as far as possible to cook with fresh ingredients and to avoid using overly processed, pre-prepared ingredients, which are often high in sugar, unhealthy fats, salt and refined fibre.

A variety of ingredients for every meal is a good starting point.

Enjoying something from every food group is the best way to include all the important nutritional elements, enough fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to keep you healthy and nourished.

Continuously eating the same foods without much variety could mean that you are excluding certain nutrients from your diet, she said.

Jennings shared some tips on what to include and avoid in your diet:

1. Enjoy a variety of foods

Eat pulses such as dry beans, split peas and lentils regularly. These are good sources of protein, low in fat and high in fibre.

You can replace meat in some meals with these ingredients and they are excellent plant-based proteins for vegetarian meals. Keep in mind that these contain both protein and carbohydrates.

2. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables daily

Remember to eat vegetables and fruit from the different colour groups (red, green, yellow and orange). The vitamins, minerals and fibre in these foods help to protect you against diseases.

Enjoy veggies or salad at least twice a day. Aim for a total of five portions of vegetables and fruit every day, of which some should be raw.

3. Make unrefined starchy foods part of most meals

These foods are high in fibre and can help you feel fuller for longer, and lower your risk of developing obesity, heart disease and cancer.

Good choices are unrefined, unprocessed or whole grains, like brown or wholewheat bread, coarse maize (mealie) meal, oats and brown rice. This could also include starchy veggies like butternut and sweet potato.

Remember to enjoy these in controlled portions. This is especially important at a braai, as there are often too many starchy dishes on the table.
