By Reverend Mark Hunnemann
Thirteen years ago, my kids and I moved into a rental house after my ex-wife and I separated. The landlord informed me that my children (8, 10, 12 at the time) could paint their walls any way they wished--just so it was covered when we moved. One day I came home and my eldest had some friends over who were signing their names on the wall. It looked pretty cool to me...especially with all the flourishes here and there connected with some of the signatures.Perhaps you may be questioning the wisdom of my actions--all I can say is that they were hurting (as was I) and at the moment it seemed okay
Fast forward a few months, and the deputy with the Sheriff's Dept.exiting my house looked at me as if I was some moron for allowing "gang graffiti" to be plastered on my daughter's wall. It turns out that some of her friends were into the "blood" and "crip" mega-gangs, but I was totally in the dark as to the significance of the "creative expression" I had allowed. It was a horribly difficult time for my family, and I had not been discerning enough. If only I had recognized the significance of these symbols, I could have protected my daughter from the thuggish peer pressure she came under, which caused her (and the whole family) much anguish.
Similarly, many kids' TV programs or cartoons, have the signature of Satan written all over them--but like me, most parents are blissfully unaware of the danger. Many even approve of the shows because of their intelligence and creativity. They have not been trained by their pastors to know what to look for. I dearly want to save parents from the anguish...to equip you to know what to look for, without being legalistic or reactionary to everything that expresses imagination.
With Christmas coming, If you were to tour the aisle of any toy store, the occult is ubiquitous....and the same holds true in children's TV programming. In the past, I have not addressed children's issues much, but I need to.
Let me state at the outset that imagination is one of God's most wonderful gifts to us as His image bearers. So, I do not wince at every funny looking creature on animated cartoons. However,what I saw, and heard, on the Legend of Korra on Nickelodeon the other day was truly expressive of a hellish, demonic, and New Age-ish worldview, being thrust upon our unsuspecting and non-discerning kids/parents. I hope that by analyzing it, then it will give you the tools to analyze/discern other kids shows.
The Legend of Korra has been hailed as a critical and commercial success. In 2012 it had the highest number of viewers, and Scott Thill stated that it "is the smartest cartoon on TV." It has been praised for how it deals with difficult sociopolitical issues--like social unrest and terrorism.The reason I chose "Legend.." is because it's intelligence and impressive animation (Japanese), expands its appeal to a large age span. From 7--17 (at least) young folks are drawn to this show like bees to honey.
Remember, worldviews are formed by watching such shows.
Set in a fictional universe, some people can manipulate/bend either fire, earth, water, or air.Only the Avatar can bend all four elements, as well as maintain peace and balance in the world. There are four kingdoms which express one of these four elements, and the Avatar cyclically reincarnates in each of the four kingdoms. Korra, the current Avatar, is a 17-year-old young woman from the Southern Water Tribe. She has the spunk and all the issues that come with being 17 that enhance her appeal and make her "totally awesome."
Without going into the whole plot--there are 52 episodes planned for this year--let me mention some occultic principles that I picked up on in watching just one episode.
1. Avatars --rooted in Hindu mythology, the meaning of the word avatar is "the descent of a deity to the earth in an incarnate form or some manifest shape...the incarnation of a god or wise person who possess psychic powers to defeat their enemies. In New Age thinking, Jesus is usually thought of being just one of many avatars that have visited us.
2. Portal--Korra decides to keep the portal between the human and spirit realm open so that they (we) can co-exist and learn from each other. Being able to open and close this other dimensional door--and encouraging contact between respective residents-- was particularly disturbing to me.
3. Spirit guides-- are seen as benevolent spirit creatures who guide humans when they enter the spirit realm. Looked like flying puppy dogs....
4. Earth, air, fire, and water are the 4 elements which comprise reality and are subject to human and spirit manipulation. In the paranormal community there is much discussion of "elementals"...an alleged form of spirit force/entity, usually connected with nature.Wicca, witchcraft, and other occult systems often appeal to these four elements in their incantations or rituals, which are nature focused.
5. Cosmic consciousness or collective unconsciousness-- was mentioned in the show as the Ultimate Reality which all things participate in (do you see the intelligence level?!) This notion was popularized by Freud's successor, Carl Jung, who espoused occultic beliefs. Tapping into this source will empower avatar and us....usually via mind-emptying meditation.
6. Dualism or yin/yang --in this episode, mention was made that neither light nor dark, good or bad, could be banished forever...both are equally ultimate.
7. Reincarnation--Korra is yet another reincarnation of the avatar.
8. Spirit communication--spirit realm is populated by a multiplicity of good and bad, positive and negative beings....which humans can communicate with.
9. Harmonic convergence-- (again, see what I mean re intelligence level?)...explicitly mentioned in show, where the animation "showed" the earth reaching this new evolutionary advance in which energies are set in balance, "so that a New Age is evolved."
Gone is the majestic, holy Creator.....gone is a definitive defeat of evil, sin, and Satan on the cross......gone is the distinction between Creator and His creation.....gone are all seven aspects of a biblical worldview. This is a thoroughgoing, comprehensive pagan worldview served up in animated wonderment for our children to feast on the beast....all in the comfort of home.
The Legend of Korra is an intelligent and visually stimulating TV cartoon that is destroying our young people. It has become an integral part of the spiritual pandemic of fascination with the paranormal. In a sense, it is worse than the ghost-hunting shows because it is: specifically targeting the most defenseless (our children); and it presents a "total pagan package", as every aspect of a biblical worldview is blatantly denied and it's pagan antithesis is affirmed. And all of this in a very appealing presentation/medium.
Let me remind you that there is no such thing as an "innocent interest in the occult", even if it is not acted out in behavior. From my observation, our country has become so overrun with demonized darkness, that mere fascination MAY cause one to become demonically oppressed. You no longer have to trek into the jungles of Africa to experience wholesale spiritual darkness. Just in my lifetime, we have cast off the common grace spiritual restraints (which made overt demonic activity rare), and are rushing headlong into the abyss--which has caused overt demonic activity to explode.
Please do not allow the tyranny of the urgent to crowd out the massively important...the protection of our children and grandchildren. God knows the "me generation" has done enough damage already. That you are reading this, is a sign that you care. Please let us all lovingly communicate this danger in the spheres in which God has placed us.
ps...as a voluntary "homework assignment", please take a pad of paper and write vertically the seven components of a biblical worldview. Then pray and get comfy, and watch one of these cartoons. Be on the lookout for comments or images that indicate what their reply would be to all 7 questions of a worldview, and compare it with the biblical worldview.
(ultimate reality?, nature of reality?, what makes us human?, nature of history, source/nature of ethics? purpose of life?, afterlife?)

Issue 142 – Fake Para-Celebs Not in the Christmas Spirit
By Kirby Robinson
Due to a scheduling difficulty, tonight's Eye on the
Paranormal Radio Show has been changed to Wednesday, December 11.
Tony Spera Proves Our Point: Fake Para-Celebs Will Do Anything to Keep
You from the Truth
On November 20, 2013, we broke the story due to the
fine work Chris Baricko on the matter of the Night of the Conjuring and how it was a big rip off. Here's the
link, just scroll down to More Lorraine
Warren & Tony Spera Highjinks: http://eyeontheparanormal.blogspot.com/2013/11/issue-141-cycle-numbers-of-jfk.html
Then the Examiner picked up the story, without giving
the Eye on the Paranormal any credit. Here's the link:
It seems that Tony and his group of paranormal hoods
took it on themselves and began attacking Chris due to the fact that he dared
tell the truth. We all know the paranormal community doesn't want that.
To Heaven and Back & More New Age Deceptions
On Sunday night while the nation dealt with the death
of Paul Walker and the wreck of the commuter train crash in New York, CNN ran a
repeat of the program To Heaven and Back.
This show details stories of individuals who experience of NDE [Near Death Experiences].
Every event shared happened the way the survivors claimed. No one questioned
the stories. No opposing viewpoint was share. All the experiences "proved"
the existence of some type of new age heaven.
CNN usually bashes religion and tells us God isn't
real…unless it gets ratings and is on their terms.
In the weeks to come we'll take a further look into
these claims and find out they have more in common with hell.
Paul Crouch and Paul Walker Die on the Same Day. What About Their
Numbers?
I doubt if Paul Crouch and Paul Walker ever met, but
they have some interesting similarities. Both have the number 5 in common.
Paul Walker was born 9/12/73 = 5
He was on his 9/12/2013 to 9/12/2018 just a little bit
over 100 days into his new cycle. 100 days of a start or end of cycle means a time
of great change.
Paul Crouch was born 3/30/34 = 5. He was on his
03/30/2009 to 03/30/2014, meaning he was in his last year of his current cycle.
This stage often means being prepared for things to come.
They both died on 11/30/2013 = 11. 11 days represent
people jumping from one thing to another.
May they both be at peace.
Chip Coffey Jumps on Paul Walker's Death!
Hey Chip, give the family a break. It seems as though
most psychics can't pass up a chance to insert themselves into the news. Moments
after the news broke of Mr. Walker's death, Mr. Coffey had to stick his 2 cents
in. He pondered on the fact that a few weeks ago a false story broke on the web
that Mr. Walker died in a car crash. Chip wondered if the prankster caused the
death? Did they see the death take place as a psychic premonition?
Well, since Chip asked the question I feel up to
responding.
The answer is neither. The person that posted the hoax
was big jerk. It was nothing but a mere coincidence that a few weeks later Mr. Walker
died in that manner. But what is the outcome of Mr. Walker's death?
- His 15-year-old daughter that he leaves behind.
- His mom and dad who had to see one of their kids die
before them.
- His brothers and sisters who had to bury one of their
own.
- Friends and loved ones who now must fill a hole in their
life they may never fill.
- His fans that will miss him.
Dead is dead. How and why at the moments after the death
are not important. What is important is the healing process.
Now go and sit in a corner.
Chip Coffey's Complains of a 1-Star Book Review
Chip spends his time reading reviews of Theresa Caputo's
book. My 1-star review for her book made him lose his pumpkin pie and turkey.
I wonder if all psychics /mediums sleep with a poster
of Theresa Caputo and Pat Longo over their beds? Do they fantasize that they
have a hit TLC program? They're in front of thousands of audience members packing
the house? Not the one or two hundred or gallery readings the small fry get. Do
they do something naughty when they gaze at the chubby medium in stiletto heels?
In my book, I've exposed Theresa Caputo for what she
is. A complete fake. She is leading many down a dark path [concealed with fake
white light] "teaching" the grieving and the hurting a false truth. When
the deluded Caputo believer dies and finds out it's all a lie, it'll be too
late.
I'm not afraid to speak and write about the truth. If
Theresa Caputo would dare to debate what I have to say, I'd be glad to debate
with her.
But Chip Coffey is of the pack mentality. If someone
should attack one fake psychic/medium and expose how the cold readings work,
then the rest of the pack is threatened. Chip posted the following to his
Facebook page.
I just read a review about a book on spirituality and communicating
with spirits. And it really pissed me off!
The review -- which was really more of a bashing of the book than a review -- was written by someone who is quite obviously a fundamental, perhaps even literalist, Christian. In the review, he stated that the author of the book offers no proof that any of her claims are real because there is no proof.
News flash for the "reviewer" -- There is no "proof" that your beliefs are correct or valid either! Belief and faith are mostly based on things unseen and unproven.
I am always quite disgusted and often angry whenever I hear or read about one person (or a group of people) denouncing the beliefs of another individual (or group of individuals). Just because I do not believe the same things as someone else doesn't make me wrong and them right.
I was raised in the Roman Catholic faith, but as I grew older, I combined my spiritual beliefs with Catholicism. I have a very personal and profound relationship with God. That's what I choose to call my Higher Power. Feel free to choose your own name. Or not. I believe what I choose to believe, what feels right to me and makes me feel close to The Divine.
I NEVER try to convince or convert others to my ways of thinking or believing. Those who try to impose their personal religious or spiritual beliefs on others are zealots and bullies. NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT BELIEVE BECAUSE IT IS NONE OF THEIR DAMNED BUSINESS!
Rant over.........

Rant over.........
I guess this is the reason that no one on my side of Chip's
bloodline got an invite for turkey day. No one in my family ever got an
invitation to visit a Coffey home.
But you see Chip doesn't tell the whole story.
Chippie's spirit guides failed him yet again. I'm not
a fundamentalist or a literalist [Chip you better get those guides under
control].
When I talk about proof, if you bother to read the
book, There's More to Life Than This: Healing Messages, Remarkable
Stories, and Insight About the Other Side from the Long Island Medium, she spends much
time talking about angels. Actually, she knows virtually nothing about
angelology. She talks about life on the Other Side that contradicts the Catholic
point of view. Nor does she offer any proof about being a psychic medium, or
just a medium.
Mr. Coffey claims any spiritual path is good and legit
and no one can say anything bad about them. Well, let's put Mr. Coffey's words
to a test.
- In the Middle East many nations fall under the
Muslim faith. The Muslim Religious Police root out non-Muslims and put them on
trial. Women have no value. In the UK: "1/3 of young UK Muslims believe a
Muslim who converts to another religion should be executed." See and read
about what's going on over there. http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/muslim-religious-police-begin-enforcing-islamic-law-in-london-video/
- Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. Homophobic
to the extreme.
- Christian Identity. These conservative American
Protestants teach that whites are closer to God. The darker your skin, the more
likely you are to go to hell.
- In Utah, Arizona and parts of Texas, there are
conclaves that fall under the influence of a so-called prophet named Warren
Jeffs. He's now a long-term guest at the Louis C. Powledge Unit in Texas, due
to his belief that men should marry little girls. The man's not a prophet, he's
a pedophile and a polygamist who had 78 wives.
The concept that Mr. Coffey preaches sounds nice. But
like most paths of darkness, they are dressed up to look nice and pleasant. In
fact, they lead to a very bad place, one filled with pain and suffering. Theresa
Caputo and all the rest tell lie after lie, and by the time you discover the
truth, it's way too late.
Next week -- More truth they want hidden.

Dalai Lama Chats with Scientists in Tokyo
DHARAMSHALA, November 18: The Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama who is currently in Japan took part in a dialogue with Japanese scientists on ‘Universe, Life and Education’ in Tokyo. The Tibetan leader was escorted into the hall by the Abbot of Koyasan, headquarters of the Shingon school of Japanese Buddhism.
The Tibetan leader said that everybody has the capability to attain what Buddha has achieved but that we must bring it to fruition through our own efforts. "Buddha nature is our subtle mind and mind is perfected by employing the mind.
He also said that in order to understand the way our brains behave, we have to study our emotions and their effects.
“In the past, it seemed as though science and spirituality were opposed to each other. However, it’s not a useful division to maintain, because the one tradition deals with knowledge of the material world and the other with the inner world of the mind; we need to know about both,” he added.
The 78-year-old Tibetan Nobel laureate further noted that the Buddha’s advice to his followers not to accept what he said at face value, but to experiment with it, to examine and investigate it, contains a healthy skepticism in common with a scientific approach.
Asked how His Holiness would summarize Buddhism, he answered, “All major religions carry the same message about seeking to live a happy life. What is unique about Buddhism is that not only is there no concept of a creator, but also no concept of an inherently existent self. Its basic philosophical view is that all things are interdependent, that they come about in dependence on other factors, and its conduct, non-violence, is of universal benefit.”
Scientists present at the dialogue also spoke on various topics and gave their presentations. Moriya Okano, Director of the Samgraha Institute for Educational, Psychological and Spiritual Studies spoke about cosmos therapy; Susumu Sakurai, a Master of Science at Tokyo Institute of Technology gave a presentation about Mathematics in relation to humanity; Akiko Katsumata, Assistant Professor at Suzuka spoke on the importance and educational value of putting yourself in someone else’s place.

Babylon the Harlot, Part 4
Continued from:
This is speaking of the
reforming of the old Roman Empire. Presently the old Roman Empire has been
reformed by ten common market nations in Europe today. There are more
currently, but only 10 will come to prominence during the end time. In my
opinion, these "ten horns" are those ten common market nations. The
headquarters for these ten nations is in Rome.
These rulers of a ten
nation federation will unite to give their political authority and military
power to the beast to conquer the earth and make war against Christ (16:14;
19:19) The purpose of Satan through the Beast and fellow kings is to establish
an invincible kingdom that Christ cannot overcome when He returns. But Christ
is King of all kings, and will overcome the beast and his kingdom when He
returns (19:11-21). Those who follow Christ are called and chosen by Him, and
faithful to Him (19:7-8, 14).
At this point in his
career the Beast will have total control of the world, for he will command ten
"kings" who rule the nations of the earth: The ten horns which you
saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive
authority for one hour as kings with the beast.
These are of one mind,
and they give their power and authority to the beast" Then the Beast's
kingdom starts to come apart. He hears rumors of insurrection, which fill him
"with great fury to destroy and annihilate many," in Daniel's terminology
(Dan. 11 v.44).
It is to fulfill
prophecy. Kings and Kingdoms, good and evil, have to do exactly what God wants.
Sometimes they are not even aware of why they are doing it. God puts the idea
into their head, while all the time, they think it is their clever idea.
He marches to the
Valley of Megiddo, where he meets other armies of the world, and there they do
an amazing thing as we see in the next scripture.
17:14 These shall make
war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords,
and King of kings: and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and
faithful.
These shall make war
with the Lamb. Make War with the Lamb This will occur when these kings kill His
faithful followers and come out to fight against Christ in the Battle of
Armageddon. Armageddon Those who join with Christ to overcome them are called
"chosen, and faithful," titles used in other Scriptures to describe
true believers (1 Pet. 2:9).
You see, as has been
said so many times before, we Christians are in a battle. Our leader is (Jesus
Christ). We are fighting a very real enemy. The devil and his demons are our
enemies. This war we are in is a war of the spirit. We must come against the
devil in hand to hand combat everyday. Our weapon is the two edged sword (Bible).
This war is fought by
an army of believers who always have their weapon (Bible) at their side.
Besides having it at their side, they have its contents inside of them (their
food is the Word of God). When they are in hot combat, the sword comes from
their mouth. They are willing to lay down their lives for the cause of Jesus.
The flag we Christians
fly is the banner of righteousness. It is red because of the blood of our
leader, it is white because of the righteousness of believers, and it is blue for
our heavenly calling. This is a voluntary army. This battle is in the final
hours before the return of the Lord. This army will be made up of boys, girls,
men and women. God has called a vast army, as He did in Gideon's day.
This group will be sold
out completely to God. They will be willing to give up homes, family, friends,
wealth, and position in their community to work for God. They will be loyal to
Jesus even to the death. They will have a peculiar uniform described in
Ephesians chapter 6. This uniform will be provided to us by our Lord (Jesus).
Loins girded about with truth, breastplate of righteousness, feet shod with the
preparation of the gospel, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of
the Spirit which is the Word of God.
The big difference is
that this army will have patches on their knees. This battle will be fought
with much prayer (on our knees). You see this victory is the Lord's. We must
fight the good fight. Give it everything you have. The war is peaking now. God
needs good Christians who will not compromise for any reason. The battle is
hard, but the rewards are beyond comprehension; a home in heaven forever with
Jesus and the opportunity to hear Him say, "Well done thy good and
faithful servant".
You see, we soldiers
shall be kings and priests (Rev. 1 v.6; Rev 5 v.10), but He will be Lord and
King over all. We are the called, chosen and faithful. Hallelujah!
17:15 And he saith unto
me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and
multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
The Prostitute
Explained - Then the angel explains to John the meaning of the water on which
the woman is sitting: It is the peoples of the earth. Peoples, multitudes,
nations, and languages designate all humanity in the book of Revelation. As in
the saying, "sea of humanity"
Those who are followers
of the evil system will be from all nations. There will be hundreds of millions
lost.
17:16-17 "And the
ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and
shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with
fire." "For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to
agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be
fulfilled."
The Coming Destruction
of the Babylonian Prostitute Babylonian Harlot -The Antichrist will permit the
one world (apostate) church to govern his actions during the first three and
one half years of the Tribulation while he is gathering more and more power. One
World Religion But in the middle of the Tribulation, when he feels he can
become an autocratic ruler, he and the ten kings will throw off the prostitute
because, in reality, while being dominated by her, they "hate the
prostitute".
None of the world's political
leaders have enjoyed subjugation to religious leaders, but have continued in a
servile role only for expediency. When it is no longer necessary, the ten kings
will "bring her to ruin and leave her naked", meaning they will
confiscate her temples, her gold, and her costly apparel. In so doing, they
will unwittingly be the instruments of God in destroying this awful Babylonian
system once and for all: "For God has put it into their hearts to
accomplish his purpose."
Here, we see these evil
ten nations turning against the world and the world church. This power, these
evil nations have been, and are being used to rule the little people. This fire
speaks of war. These ten nations will do away with this church, even though it
is the apostate church.
When Will the
Prostitute Religion Be Destroyed - The religious Babylon of Rev. 17, which is
destroyed, comes in two parts. One occurs during the first part of the
Tribulation when the governmental system of Babylon (pictured as this ugly
"beast") is gaining world control but has to permit the
"prostitute" to sit on and ride the beast. We see this as meaning she
exercises a degree of control over the Babylonian system by bringing the
nations of the world under her idolatrous religious power.
During the first half
of the Tribulation she incurs the wrath of the ten kings who see her use the
authority of the Antichrist to advance her religious causes. So they plot to
kill her. The reason we know this killing of the prostitute of "mystery
Babylon" is done in the middle of the Tribulation is twofold:
"The deadly
wound" of Antichrist is healed by the indwelling of Satan himself,
simulating the resurrection of Christ, in the middle of the Tribulation.
From then on the world
does not worship mystery Babylon but the image of the beast. The False Prophet
will do away with all religion except the worship of Antichrist Satan, which he
will enforce. That begins in the middle of the Tribulation, that's described in
Rev. 13. This is the time when people will have to take the mark of the beast
and swear their loyalty to the beast of face death. No middle ground, either
accept Jesus or accept the beast.
Since the woman who
rides the beast gets her authority from the beast, the Holy Spirit uses this
description to show how religious Babylon and governmental Babylon are so
intertwined they are presented together. However, they are destroyed at
different times. The prostitute (religious Babylon) is destroyed by "beast
and the kings of the earth," who "hate the prostitute" and kill
her.
Next week is the last part of this series.

Happy Turkey Day & Theresa Caputo's Book is Stuffed with Turkey Crap
By Kirby Robinson
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Just a reminder, there
is no radio show tonight. Also, our regular bloggers Lisa Grace, Mark Hunneman,
and Stephen Piersall won't have blogs for us due to the holiday weekend.
I reviewed a copy of Theresa Caputo's book There's More to Life Than This: Healing
Messages, Remarkable Stories, and Insight About the Other Side from the Long
Island Medium. Aside from the endless and meaningless title, was it as bad
as I thought it would be? Yes.
I posted my review on Amazon and to save you a trip
over there here is the review in its entirety.
You'll find more wisdom in the bottom of
a Jack Daniel's bottle
I
was a part of the new age in the 1980s and worked as a psychic-medium for
several years, so I think I'm in a position to offer a unique perspective of Theresa
Caputo's book. I'd like to point out it was also written by her teacher, Pat
Longo. Kristina Grish, the
credited co-author, was brought in to make sure the manuscript got that Long
Island phraseology.
Just
like Caputo's reality show, the book is nothing more than a scam to suck in the
sad and the hurting. Theresa and Pat make grandiose claims yet offer no proof
that any of these claims are real--because they can't. This book consists of
catch phrases popular within the new age movement. "Everyone has
intuition!" "Everyone can communicate with spirit!" Theresa
should feel guilty for referring to herself as a "good Catholic girl"
as the content of the book is 100% contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Two examples: Catholics don't believe in reincarnation, and they don't believe
in consulting mediums. Nor would anyone with any genuine wisdom and insight
choose to plunk down hundreds of dollars [and wait for months or even years] to
consult a medium. Especially when God and Jesus Christ don't charge any money
and are always there.
The
biggest problem with this fantasy book is the gullible readers who believe what
this Long Island housewife says. What happens when they die and come to find
out that the life Theresa and Pat rhapsodized about on the Other Side is a lie?
Sadly, it's too late to ask for a refund.
