5 comments about The Bunny Book: How to Walk, Talk, Tease, and Please Like a Playboy Bunny.

1. I love, love, love this book! While a few of the tips should be common knowledge to women, the girls present them in a fun and interesting way. Any girl with an open mind and a sense of humor would enjoy it!



2. 
   The Bunny Book is a great read. Easy to relate to and although some of the tips and suggestions were common sense, reading them makes for a good reminder :)
   I bought my two best friends one and passed on my book to my roomy after finishing it. You'll love it!



3. Complete waste of money. aone bunny says do this, the other contradicts. Did not learn one beauty/charm trick in here. Read Cosmo magazine for same effect. Nothing in hear you as a woman haven't heard before. i feel jipped!



4. THE BOOK WAS GREAT. I LOVED IT AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANY CURIOUS WOMEN.



5. this book is good... and funny at times but you can get most of these tips from cosmo. the image of a playboy bunny is based only on the three girls who wrote it and what they like/do/etc.

5 comments about The Commitment Cure: What to Do When You Fall for an Ambivalent Man.

1. One of the best self-help books out there for getting beyond the see-saw of an off-and-on relationship. It tells it like it is regarding ambivalence in relationships for both men and women, and includes items on how ambivalence manifests itself in the cyber age. It makes it clear why ambivalent relationships aren't enough to grow on, and helps you define and steer clear of bad choices as well as look at how and why you may be selecting the wrong partner(s) for you. A real palate-cleanser and inspiration for those who need to move on from a less-than-adequate relationship situation.



2. I bought this book after a sudden break up...turns out I had been dating "The Runner". After reading "The Commitment Cure" everything made sense. And after not contacting him for two months...he came running back. This book opens your eyes to a lot of unhealthy behavior and gives you some great advice and how to deal with it, thiers and your own. I have been recommending this book to everyone I know, women and men. It is a very easy read and it gets straight to the point.
   It shows that there are no quick fixes, but there are things you can do. If you are completely confused on what to do about that guy who keeps popping in and out of your life, or the friend who seems to like you but doesn't make the move, or the one who wants to spend every moment with you and then dissapears, this book is for you.



3. This is not an extremely well-written book (lots of typos-- she needs a new editor) and much of it is obvious, but for women who keep falling into relationships with ambivalent men over and over again I can see that it would be helpful (which is why I gave it 4 stars). I think the material could have been included in a 100 page book, especially since the 6 types of ambivalent men are really just 2 or 3 types with overlapping qualities. One thing that struck me as odd was her implication that many ambivalent men are involved in illegal activity. I thought that was a strange leap to make, but I suppose there are some so it's better to be warned. I also found her stories about clients to be a bit hokey. I really read this book to understand myself better... not to understand men and I did get that. The best aspect of the book is that it reiterates over and over that an ambivalent man's behavior has nothing to do with you... his ambivalence is HIS problem based on his past relationships and perceptions of (un)reality. I think that is the most valuable lesson that can be learned from this book. While it wasn't extremely helpful to me (probably because I knew all of this before from therapy) I think it could definitely be helpful to many women who don't know why they keep attracting the wrong kind of man who can't commit.



4. The author identifies six types of commitment-phobic men.
   
   ·The Runner
   ·The Man Who Plays Parlor Games
   ·The Casual Dater
   ·The Fling Man
   ·The Eternal Bachelor
   ·The Ambivalent Cyber Man
   
   Notice how none of these men have a single redeeming quality? Do you see how each kind of man in his own way victimizes decent and loving women with hearts of gold? I think it's fraudulent to insinuate that a man who won't MARRY you must have some kind emotional "issue". Well, this author should have included an extra type of commitment-phobe, one which I now offer for your consideration and which I think will help some of the women readers who are still clueless about this phenomenon.
   
   ·The Guy Who Never Had a Problem Committing Until He Lost His Life Savings to the Very Person To Whom He Was Committed (or Who Watched His Best Friend Lose Everything in a Divorce) And After Working Very Hard For Several Years to Create Financial Security Is Not Now Going To Even Consider Entering Into the Lousiest Contract Ever Conceived Of in Western Civilization And Giving Another Person the Ability to Financially Devaste Him Without Hope of Recovery
   
   Unwillingness to commit to MARRIAGE has much less to do with our sexual predilections to have multiple partners, our emotional immaturity, or even our fear that we don't truly deserve genuine love (the kind that only the reader of this book has the courage to seek and provide) than this author thinks. It has a lot to do with the accumulation of wealth, its preservation, and our inability to see how the legal contract makes the relationship even MORE desirable, or how it actually adds anything to the relationship that isn't already there WITHOUT the lousy contract.
   
   It's not a mystery to me why some men won't commit. To me, the mystery is why nobody is talking about the REAL problem, which is how marriage has failed men and women, both as a legal contract, and as a government-subsidized program. And if you check the statistics, it apparently doesn't seem to be helping those who pursue it as a sacrament of their faith...the divorce rate is no lower among the churched than the non-churched.



5. This book really described all the things that I kept hearing from my ex-boyfriend when he explained that it was very reasonable for us to have "no relationship" while still being able to call, drop by and text message me all the time, after breaking up with me by a letter on our apartment door. I wish I had read it earlier in our relationship, when we apparently had one, so I could have dealt with him better, but it is definitely helping me not continue to keep in touch with him, and set boundaries for if and when he is allowed back into my life.

5 comments about Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: A Book About Instantaneous Transformation.

1. There have been many insightful and helpful books written over time on the subject of living in the moment and only one that stands out for me as the best...and this book is it. It's the best in my opinion because the tools and ideas presented truly work in creating a life where lasting satisfaction and fulfillment can happen. It is definitely possible to live in the moment, day in day out, where the bumps on your life's road do not need to throw you off your path. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in living a life they dream of...it's possible for you because it's happened and continues to happen for me in my own life.



2. I orded this too quickly and should have looked closer at the inside, and the reviews. Its just another of many "God is who you want him to be, find your own way..nirvana, happy place yada yada written to sell, not to help books..I have to say that if God is who you want him to be?? then how could HE be God? Must be YOU thats God..anyway the book was disgustingly typical.



3. I am a professional female that has felt out of place since I was 13. I have seen therapists and searched for something to fix myself my whole life. I have read many self help books and done The Landmark Forum. In 1998 I landed in an AA room and was taught the 12 Steps of recovery. I read the BIG BOOK and thought the stories were exaggerated since I couldn't relate to them. I stopped drinking and took the suggested steps; taking a "fearless moral inventory" of myself by identifying my so called defects of character. As I grew in recovery, I was to take a daily inventory of myself which constantly reinforced that there was always something wrong with me that needed fixing. I now have 7 years of uninterrupted sobriety and recently I had the pleasure of reading the book "Working on Yourself Doesn't Work" and WOW!!! Did I get it...
   
   See in AA we strive to live a day at a time but to be able to live a moment at a time was not something I had ever considered (I mean who can live in the moment there is so much to plan for?). It wasn't by doing the 12 steps that I learned I was living my life based on exaggerated truths made up as a child. These ideas ranged from "don't let anyone ever tell you what to do "to" don't ever depend on any man". These ideas never supported me in my life. They in fact have hindered every relationship I ever had whereby I never married or had children.
   Now that I am aware of those ideas thru reading this book, I have never looked back or thought about them again. I have quit trying to work on myself. I have accepted my life and everything about it.
   
   My life is so easy today. I have actually been able to save a relationship that I unconsciously have been sabotaging for the last 3 years. I saw clearly why I was afraid of success. Since I now have the insights, I choose not to go back to the past and judge myself or others for anything that happened. I also choose not to spend time in a place that doesn't exist yet. I can just concentrate on the fabulous moment and how it feels to be here right now. Talk about freedom from the bondage of self. My shackles have been taken off permanently. Thank you to Ariel and Shya for sharing their incredible experiences with the world and most importantly for the ease in which they do it.



4. This book offers nothing that I have not already read and studied. It is similar to basic Buddhist teaching. One must accect themselves as they are and peacefully co-exist with unpleasant qualities. This book is helpful but not great.



5. I remember when I first read this book I was struck by how peaceful it made me feel. I can't access that peace all the time and so I'm learning to be ok with that. The book may appear quite simple compared to the intensive work that others might give you. I'm a huge fan of Martha Beck, Byron Katie and Eckhart Tolle--but what the Kanes have created here is a way to access your life as the "work" for you to do. Just live it and keep in mind the principles of how life unfolds: what you resist persists (watch and you'll see how it appears in your life), no two things can occupy the same place at the same time (so why waste a moment with complaint?), and anything you allow to be exactly as it is will complete itself (try it, the moment can't last forever so let it be what it wants to be--or else it persists).
   
   I'm grateful for having found this book and the Kanes. Truly magical.

5 comments about When Your Lover Is a Liar: Healing the Wounds of Deception and Betrayal.

1. Whether the liar you love is just "mixed up", or true pathological liar, narcissist, relentlessly passive aggressive... this book is a must read and at the top of my list. Do realize that many of these people cannot be fixed and the prognosis might not be good even if they do get help- many people can be ONLY if they want- and you can love and live with them BUT pay attention to the differences and do NOT, I repeat, do NOT get mixed up with those whose signs are in big neon letters- BAD NEWS, much easier not to get involved than to try to untangle later. How much of YOU are you willing to give up to allow these people their all too often - sick games?Good luck, there is just SO much underlying this chronic behavior, imo, and life is short.



2. This is a relatively short, but extremely useful and informative read. It is written primarily for women, but it certainly can apply to men as well. It's too bad it didn't cover both sides because men are often on the receiving end of betrayal as well. This is part of my rationale for a 4 star rating. However, it is an excellent book overall and certainly still a worthwhile read for a man who is being lied to.
   
   The book covers a lot of ground and does it well. It looks at the dynamics that motivate a person to lie, the various defense mechanisms that come up and it includes enough case histories to make the book interesting, but not cumbersome.
   
   Most importantly, the book provides positive self talk, techniques for reframing events, getting grounded and using confrontation effectively. It also has some simple techniques borrowed from cognitive therapy that can be very empowering and help you regain balance and control.



3. Who ever knew there were so many different types of liars? Anyone who has faced betrayal by someone they love will find this book helpful in explaining why they do what they do.



4. When Your "Lover..." Is a Liar should be titled "When Your MAN Is a Liar..." The author is a women's advocate who only mentions men as liars and women as victims. She should have known better than to use a deceptive title given the nature of the book but probably didn't want to limit sales. Shame on her for lying and deceiving her readers.
   
   Besides the obvious hypocrisy the issue is that when men escape from abusive, sociopathic women and then buy this book they're traumatized by feminist "men can do no right; women can do no wrong" dogma. The author, given her background, knows this; she just isn't willing to lose sales to prevent it. Maybe she'll insert herself as a case study into the next edition.
   
   The reason I didn't give this book one star is a lot of the information is really good. Had it presented in a gender-neutral way -- as the title strongly implies it is -- this would have been a solid five-star book.



5. I bought this book for someone I don't even know. On a whim. I never gave it to her. I read it, just because I had it and I read everything.
   
   If you have someone in your life who has deceived you, it's a good, healing, understand-yourself book.

2 comments about Love Addiction: A Guide to Emotional Independence.

1. This book should be read under control of a psychotherapist. It brings individuals to a point that says nevar fall in love. It is the most dangerous thing that you ever do in your life. How can a book redirect people such a way.Please sell this book by a recipe.Normal people save this world with love.Feel this feeling feel the taste of being human.



2. This bok offers great insight and practical solutions. The author has a wonderful, simple way of explaining complex emotions, relating to this topic. She provides clear examples of what to do. I really look forward to implementing the exercises outlined and am confident they will be effective.

5 comments about Into Abba's Arms (AACC Library).

1. This is an excellent book about the price people pay for being damaged in their early years. Most people hide when they have been rejected or fear rejection. Sandra rightly says that the only way out is to experience God's unconditional love.

   She also gives very practical advice about how to know God personally and intimately. This is not just another bland how to book; it speaks to the heart!




2. This is the best book I have ever read on seeking a personal relationship with God. I have read it for myself, given one to every member of my family and several friends and am recommending it almost daily to people I see in my Christian counseling practice. A book for anyone who has ever wondered where God is and haven't we all?



3. It is not often that I call a book must reading, but this one certainly is. Sandra Wilson has written in such a way as to draw any reader closer to God. It is especially good for anyone with any kind of sense of having been left alone and lonely. But is is also a must for those who believe that they are closer to God than ever. I have reccomended it to many of my counseling clients and have bought and given copies to all of my children, my husband and my parents. If you don't read anything else this year, read this.



4. Never, never have I read any book that so perfectly diagnosed my condition. What a loving God we have - and how very much He longs to tell us. But the masks we wear to prevent that relationship is tragic. Sandy Wilson pictures it all so well - and in a gentle and loving way. She gives great encouragement that an intimate God is just a breath away - if we seek. Thank you dear Sandy, for your ministry.



5. I thought this book was very helpful and gave keen insight into the love God has for us. It gives many suggestions to enter into His presence and bask in His love. I found it a real encouragement.

5 comments about Why Do You Love Me?.

1. My seven-year old son has picked this one out several times to read. The subject of "Why Do You Love Me?" is a subject that all kids think of when they get in trouble, big or small. It explains the love of a parent being there like the sun behind the clouds, always present. I like the illustrations and my son noticed how the book makes the kid in the book seem real. For example, Sammy cleaned his room and yet was toys tucked under the bed and behind the door. I'm looking forward buying her other children's books to share with my kids.



2. My 5 year old son absolutely loves this book! Whenever it's time to read books this is always in the pile he brings to me. It brought about a lot of questions he had and always makes him smile!!



3. I have never been a fan of Dr. Laura, and I was annoyed when my mom bought this book for me to share with future children of mine. Now, seven years after she gave it to me, it is one of my 2 1/2 year old son's favorite books. We pulled it off the bookshelf one night after a particularly rough day, and he really seemed to understand the premise of the book - that I will always love him no matter what...even when he throws two-year-old tantrums all day! Now whenever we've had a rough day together, he asks for the "Sammy" book. He cuddles right into my arms and we talk about how much we love each other, no matter what. Based on the reviews of Dr. Laura's other books, I have no intention of ever reading them to my son, but this one will always be a favorite.



4. I had a very ill little boy who sometimes would feel so sick and in pain, this would cause him to yell and hit. When he would feel better he would apologize and would ask me if I still loved him? I would tell him that "No matter what I will always love him". Everytime I would read him the book he would feel so much better! I read him this book everyday time and time again until he died. I know that he knew how much I loved him and this book made it easier for him a 7 year old little boy to understand the unconditional love mommy felt.



5. I received the book fast and it was in the condition I was expecting if not better.

5 comments about The List: 7 Ways to Tell If He's Going to Marry You--in 30 Days or Less!.

1. I suspect most boys hate this book; until they have daughters of their own.
   I think the same is true for "The Rules."
   Boys would much rather string their sex partners along, and enjoy free milk.
   
   What follows are only my opinions, formed over a half-century of observing "The Battle of the Sexes."
   During which, I have been happily married for the last quarter-century.
   Other than that meager credential, I offer no scientific evidence, and have no way to support my assertions.
   
   1) Girls read books on how to get boys to marry them.
   
   2) Boys read books on how to get girls to have sex with them.
   
   The awful truth is that boys treat girls, whom they want to marry, differently from those with whom they just want to have sex.
   A boy knows pretty much immediately, into which category a girl falls.
   
   If he wants to marry her, he will treat her with the same respect he wants his sister or daughter to be shown.
   That means nothing more than a light Good Night kiss, if that, on the first few dates.
   
   Sorry to break this to you girls, but any more, and he mostly wants sex.
   When he knows you're "The One" (Which he DOES know within three dates), he will find a way to let you know.
   
   3) Boys fall in love quickly, they gradually fall OUT of love.
   
   4) Girls fall in love slowly, they gradually fall IN love.
   
   Notice I'm talking about love, and not infatuation, which lasts about six months for both boys and girls.
   Nor am I talking about lust, which has a shelf-life measured in hours.
   
   There's a reason Amazon bundles "The Rules" with "The List."
   I give both of them to any girls about whom I care.



2. No one, not you, not your friends and family, wants to deliver you the bad news that he's just not that into you. This book gives you an objective checklist, which will tell you if he's 100% into you or not. As for the excuses and the whys, it doesn't really matter.
   
   If a man doesn't meet the criteria listed in this book, the woman who cares enough about the relationship to be reading such books in the first place will suffer.



3. "The List" Completely, I would recommend this book....Yes women are attractive at all ages...However, it is NOT optimal to wait till the 12th of never to get serious about getting married and starting a family...
   
   Author Of Black Women Deserve Better



4. The List is an engaging, funny book that is well-written and gets you thinking about what you want from a relationship. I've given it 4 stars because it is the type of book I will definitely read again in the future, although I don't agree with all the advice inside.
   
   The book does raise a number of good points. The authors hit the nail on the head with their comments on 'he dates', 'woman math' and why there is nothing wrong with wanting a partner who wants to spend most of his time with you, as opposed to a guy who seems to want to earn 'time off' away from you so he can do other things. It is also good that they say you shouldn't have to work hard to earn love from the person who is right for you by pretending to be something you're not. The 'Life in Listopia' sections of the book were particularly entertaining, even though the imaginery women and their scenarios were sometimes a bit contrived.
   
   The part of the book I'm not so sure about is the focus on 30 days and the 'love at first sight' type of romance. 30 days is a very short period of time. I'm a private, fairly reserved person, and tend to be attracted to the same in a man, so it is unlikely that I am going to get close enough to a man within a month to feel ready to make a lifetime commitment. Plus, I'd argue that picking a life partner should not be done at breakneck speed. The 30 days guideline is emphasised too much in the book - why not, say, 6 months or a year? My parents have been happily married for over 30 years and they didn't follow all of the list rules - so it's silly that the book doesn't acknowledge a bit of leeway. The book is also unrealistic in saying that if a man is in love with you he will not want to do anything else than spend time with you, whereas I think we all have hobbies or interests we want to do and this is a positive thing.
   
   Overall, this is an interesting dating book and it gave me some good ideas. If you enjoy relationship books, it's a good buy because it has a fresh perspective on some issues and you can pick and choose the bits that work for you.



5. This is an ABSOULUTELY AMAZING book. I was so impressed I wrote to the authors. It's ABOUT TIME that a book like this is available to single women out there...my only complaint about this book is WAY OVERDUE. Congrats to the Corbett sisters for distributing a TIME-TESTED SECRET in such an easily readable and relatable written work.
   
   Happily married women have known this secret over the years but maybe haven't been able to verbalize how they knew their husbands were Mr. Right. Or maybe they were just lucky and fell in love with someone who truly loved them for who they were.
   
   At any rate, with a book like this available, we single women don't have to rely on sheer luck in meeting a true Mr. Right. We now have guidelines to help us figure out within 1 MONTH whether Mr. Right Now deserves any more of our time ( I think 1 month is generous). I know I sound harsh, but there are too many of us "servicing men" (like an earlier post succintly mentioned) and boosting their egos until that man meets the woman of their dreams. Despite many misinterpretations, this book is NOT about getting a guy to marry you within 1 month because of loudly ticking biological clocks. This book about NOT wasting time on men who have no intention of having a future with you. It's about making wiser choices and finding that true SOULMATE that adds value to your life instead of wasting your valuable time. Know that YOU ARE FABULOUS AT ANY AGE (haven't we learned that from Sex in the City?). However, let's face it...if we want children, we likely have to work on that by atleast 40ish...that's the UNFORTUNATE BIOLOGICAL TRUTH. Even if you don't want to have children, face the fact that life is short so why not be eager to spend your journey with someone who ENRICHES YOUR LIFE.
   
   I, too, have been burned by a guy who was wasting my time and was completly unloving. In the 8 years I spent with him, I couldn't honestly check off any of the 7 items on the list. But, the cruel way the relationship ended was enough to wake me up to the truth. This book, besides making me feel foolish for my blunders, confirmed that for the future I need to act smarter and pay attention to red flags and dealbreakers. In this day and age, Ladies, DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS THAN YOU DESERVE!
   
   This book is about single women first, loving and approving of themselves and recognizing that they are DESERVING of someone who TRULY loves them, approves of them too. Men deserve the same. We may not have the instinctual alarm that men have to know they've met the One, so we need some wisdom to help us out. Now, go read this book!

5 comments about Discover Your Inner Economist: Use Incentives to Fall in Love, Survive Your Next Meeting, and Motivate Your Dentist.

1. For someone trained in the realm of economics, Tyler Cowen unfailingly lapses into moral judgments to support his views. For example, in his stated view anyone who does not buy their significant others expensive gifts is an utter failure as a companion. The book is written with the intellectual honesty of a tabloid journalist. Those who agree with his ideas are seen as simpletons who obviously grasped the intelligence of his ideas and those that disagree are not just viewed as different but repeatedly shown to be "evil" and morally inaccurate, doomed to live a life of misery. This type of intellectual laziness is entirely unnecessary from someone speaking as an "Economist" and does more to damage the credibility of similar books with solid facts than it does to encourage continued research and exploration in the fields he supports.



2. Cowen is an econ prof. and I am an econ student/junky. I read a lot of econ related books, and this has really very few insights,nothing spectacular. There are some interesting points however, mostly on how to read books.
   1. Read several at once and pick one(It should not be DYIE)
   2. If you do not follow tip one - Skip pages and go back to read the later(or don't)
   
   thats my opinion quickly stated.



3. The book is good, well-written and interesting. Specially good is the analyze about the logics of museums and the construction of musical tastes. The lesson of the author is "economic thougth does not build happiness". It seems to me tha way of thinking economic thought is refreshing.



4. It's a fast and easy read! The info is definitely worth the cost of time and money in other words: high ROI!



5. This book reminds me of Stephen Hawking's "A brief History of time." Great authors can always make abstruse stuff understandable to even illiterate.

5 comments about Your Body's Telling You: Love Yourself!.

1. A great aid and companion for anyone who wants to get to the very heart of any illness or ailment. Lise Bourbeau's book is a dictionary of dis-eases with an explanation of mental, emotional, and spiritual blocks related to each illness. She explains how to 'let go' on every level and guides you through self forgiveness along the path to complete and permanent healing. Self love is the key, I felt revitalised and transformed, I highly recommend this uplifting read. If you like Louise Hay's 'You can heal your life workbook' you'll love this too!



2. The book describes illnesses in terms of 1) the illness and what it is in medical terms, as well as the description, 2) what your body is saying to you due to this, and 3) what you should be doing in terms of resolving the illness in terms of emotions.

   While you may not agree with the principles of metaphysics in health,which in two words, is that all sickness have an emotional reason for being, that most can be cured if the emotional reasons for being are eliminated, the book is certainly one which should be next to your medical and traditional dictionaries.

   The book is not only highly informative; it is a fabulous thinking tool which makes sense. I can only counsel each and everyone to at least look at it.




3. This valuable metaphysical reference guide contains 20 years of research. The book deals with the effect on thoughts on the body, explaining that physical problems are the outward manifestation of disease on the mental and emotional levels. The physical body merely responds to these thought imbalances and by its symptoms sounds a warning of the need to return to the way of peace, balance and harmony in thought. The author provides simple techniques to correct wrong thoughts and to enable the reader to heal her or himself. The book includes a comprehensive guide to the causes of more than 500 diseases and illnesses and the cure for each of them. This is a truly impressive work that belongs on the bookshelf of everyone that is willing to take responsibility for his or her own health. Another great author whose books and audio books are helpful in this regard, is the wonderful Louise Hay.



4. This book helped me to get the real issues around my aches and pains. It's true, your body really is trying to talk to you. Once you understand the message you truly can heal yourself.



5. After studying various ways of healing I can say that is a great reference book. I believe the whole goal is to remind us that we can heal ourselves and our body is there to tell us what is going on. It's a matter of taking time to pay attention.
   
   Not everything in the book does apply because we are all different in our thinking. But a lot of the information was on the ball. When I reflect back on some of the ailments I had as child such as acne or toothaches she was on point. It made so much sense to me and when things are going on in my life I go to this book and it helps me slow down to reflect and heal more internally. It's a great starting point for anyone who is learning to take a more natural and holistic way of healing. Just a few things:
   
   1)What I've been taught over the years is that your language can dictate the creation of dis-ease. "That guy is a pain in the neck." Later in life you have serious neck pain.
   2)I recommend looking up New German Medicine. Ms. Bourbeau does reference Dr. Hammer in the beginning of the book. There are some great youtube videos that talks of his work and will only compliment this book.
   3)This is not a book of quick fixes but is very powerful if one takes the time to discern how they arrived at the dis-ease.
   
   So if your someone who is a counselor or one who wants something more holistic then buy this book. I'm grateful to Ms. Bourbeau for her years of hard work in creating this book. It's a great tool for healing.
