Well, I think that verification would be self evident.If it weren't, you would have already have been let down.
It wasn’t to Ronald Reagan. Even as president there was an attempt on his life.

Showering benefits shampoo and shower gel retailers and manufacturers.And I think that sniffing peoples armpits and arses, is no longer a preferred means of communication anyway.
Smelly armpits and arses are not socially welcoming.

I noticed you didn’t mention workingI dont need to work for a living. Plus, working means you have less time to think about important stuff.What is the point of having an IQ of 150I dont know, but I want it.
Maybe after you reach IQ 150 you will realize you need to work for a living. Reaching 150 might be your ticket to survival.

What did Jesus say about the Trinity?
He did not specifically refer to the term Trinity but did describe God in what we would call trinitarian terms or formulations. Jesus described God as "the Father", he described himself as God's son, and one with God the Father, and described the Holy Spirit as somehow proceeding from both the Father and himself.
Jesus went a step further.
John 10:30-38
I and the Father are one.”
31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him, 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”
John 14:9
Don't you know who I am? If you have seen me, you have seen the Father. How can you ask me to show you the Father?
The final catch.
John 1:In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
What does St Thomas Aquinas say about the Trinity?
St. Thomas Aquinas begins his teaching on the Trinity by asserting that "God is Father, God is Son, and God is Holy Spirit," and that these are not three but one God. Further, God's Word is also part of his existence. Aquinas calls speech the offspring of the intellect, which he conceives as its father.
What did St. Augustine write about the Trinity?
Augustine states in regard to their work, “Father does some things, the Son other things, and the Holy Spirit yet others” (Augustine Ch. 5.8). The Holy Spirit is the spirit of both the Father and the Son and was not begotten. Just like the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit has no beginning or end.
What verse explains the Trinity?
John 14:10
Though there is a complete mutual indwelling of the Father and the Son, the Father and the Son remain distinct persons within the Trinity, as does the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14), and the three of them still constitute only one Being in three persons.

Thomas Aquinas' Trinitarian theology has been criticized as proposing an abstract notion of God that is divorced from salvation history and that is supported by tedious and ultimately incomprehensible explication.
Trinity definition provided by the Catholic Church:
The Trinity is One. We do not confess three Gods, but one God in three persons, the “consubstantial Trinity”. The divine persons do not share the one divinity among themselves but each of them is God whole and entire: “The Father is that which the Son is, the Son that which the Father is, the Father and the Son that which the Holy Spirit is, i.e. by nature one God.” In the words of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215), “Each of the persons is that supreme reality, viz., the divine substance, essence or nature.”
The divine persons are really distinct from one another. “God is one but not solitary.” “Father”, “Son”, “Holy Spirit” are not simply names designating modalities of the divine being, for they are really distinct from one another: “He is not the Father who is the Son, nor is the Son he who is the Father, nor is the Holy Spirit he who is the Father or the Son.” They are distinct from one another in their relations of origin: “It is the Father who generates, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds.” The divine Unity is Triune.

How the Trinity can be proven mathematically.
Trinity and Identity
Can one consistently believe (1) – (7)? It depends on how we read the “is” in (1) – (6). If we read it throughout as the “is” of strict identity, as “=” the answer is no. Identity is an equivalence relation: it is reflexive, symmetric and transitive, which is to say, for all x, y and z the following hold:
Reflexivity: x = x
Symmetry: If x = y then y = x
Transitivity: If x = y and y = z then x = y
In addition, identity is an unrestricted indiscernibilty relation for all properties, which is to say it obeys Leibniz’ Law, understood as the Indiscernibility of Identicals:
LL: If x = y then for all properties, P, x has P if and only if y has P
This is bad news. Suppose we read the “is” as “=” in (1) – (6). Then it follows from (1) and (2), by symmetry and transitivity, that the Father is the Son, which contradicts (4). Put another way, given LL, (1) entails that God has all the same properties as the Father, including the property of being identical with the Father insofar as everything has the property of self-identity. (2) says that the Son likewise has all the same properties as God. It follows that, since God has the property of being identical with the Son, the Son also has the property of being identical with the Father, which contradicts (4).
These formal features of identity are non-negotiable in the way that the four-sidedness of squares is: God cannot evade them any more than he can make a square with only three sides. God can make triangles—and pentagons, chiliagons or figures with any number of sides he pleases—but he cannot make such things squares. So, assuming that “God,” “Father,” “Son” and “Holy Spirit” don’t change their reference, the “is” that figures in (1) – (6) cannot be the “is” of strict identity.

The Distinctness of Persons
Historically, Monarchianism—in particular Modalism (or Sabellianism), the doctrine that the Persons are “modes,” aspects, or roles of God—has been more tempting to Christians than tri-theism. The fundamental problem orthodox Latin Trinitarians face is that of maintaining a distinction between Trinitarian Persons sufficient to avoid Sabellianism, since orthodox Christians hold that the Persons of the Trinity are not merely aspects of God or God under different descriptions but in some sense distinct individuals such that Father ≠ Son ≠ Holy Spirit.
Christians hold that there are properties that distinguish the Persons. First, there are intra–Trinitarian relational properties the Persons have in virtue of their relations to other Trinitarian Persons: the Father begets the Son, but the Son does not beget the Son; the Spirit proceeds from the Father (and the Son) but neither the Father nor the Son proceeds from the Father (and the Son). Secondly, the Persons of the Trinity are distinguished in virtue of their distinctive “missions”—their activities in the world. The Second Person of the Trinity becomes incarnate, is born, suffers, dies, is buried, rises from the dead and ascends to the Father. According to orthodox doctrine, however, the same is not true of the Father (or Holy Spirit) and, indeed, the doctrine that the Father became incarnate, suffered and died is the heresy of patripassionism.
According to Latin Trinitarians, God, the Trinity, is an individual rather than a community of individuals sharing the same divine nature and each Person of the Trinity is that individual. Given this account however, the trick is to block inferences from the ascription of properties characteristic of one Trinitarian Person to the ascription of those properties to other Persons. Moreover, since it is held that the Persons cannot be individuated by their worldly activities, Latin Trinitarians, whose project is to explain the distinctions between Persons, must develop an account of the intra–Trinitarian relations that distinguish them—a project which is at best speculative.

St Thomas Aquinas sees the same sameness in the Trinity.
Aquinas says that the alleged consequence would follow only if the persons were the same both in thing and in concept. But they are not; they are merely the same thing.
This move is puzzling. Aquinas holds that the three are not merely similar or derived from the same source, but are in some strong sense the same, but not identical (i.e. numerically the same) which he appears to understand as sameness in both thing and concept. Even this last is surprising; one would think that for Aquinas “sameness in thing” just is identity, and that “sameness in concept” would mean that we apply the same concept to some apparent things (whether or not they are in fact one or many). Christopher Hughes holds that Aquinas is simply confused, his desire for orthodoxy having led him into this (and other) necessary falsehoods. On Hughes’s reading, Aquinas does think of “sameness in thing” as identity, but he incoherently holds it to be non-transitive (i.e. if A and B are identical, and B and C are identical, it doesn’t follow that A and C are identical), while in some contexts assuming (correctly) that it is transitive (Hughes 1989, 217–40).

There is only one God
If each Person of the Trinity is distinct and yet fully God, then should we conclude that there is more than one God? Obviously we cannot, for Scripture is clear that there is only one God: “There is no other God besides me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none besides me. Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other” (Isaiah 45:21-22; see also 44:6-8; Exodus 15:11; Deuteronomy 4:35; 6:4-5; 32:39; 1 Samuel 2:2; 1 Kings 8:60).
Having seen that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are distinct Persons, that they are each fully God, and that there is nonetheless only one God, we must conclude that all three Persons are the same God. In other words, there is one God who exists as three distinct Persons.
If there is one passage which most clearly brings all of this together, it is Matthew 28:19: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” First, notice that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinguished as distinct Persons. We baptize into the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Second, notice that each Person must be deity because they are all placed on the same level. In fact, would Jesus have us baptize in the name of a mere creature? Surely not. Therefore each of the Persons into whose name we are to be baptized must be deity.
Third, notice that although the three divine Persons are distinct, we are baptized into their name (singular), not names (plural). The three Persons are distinct, yet only constitute one name. This can only be if they share one essence.

Theological Constraints
a. Monotheism
Christians claim to be monotheists and yet, given the doctrine of the Trinity, hold that there are three beings who are fully divine, viz. God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The first Trinity puzzle is that of explaining how we can attribute full divinity to the Persons of the Trinity without either compromising monotheism or undermining claims about the distinctness of Trinitarian persons.
Orthodox accounts of the Trinity hover uneasily between Sabellianism—which construes Trinitarian Persons as mere phases, aspects or offices of one God—and tri-theism, according to which the Persons are three Gods. Tri-theism is unacceptable since it is incompatible with the historical Christian commitment to monotheism inherited from the Hebrew tradition.
The fundamental problem for Trinitarian orthodoxy is to develop a doctrine of the Trinity that fits in the space between Sabellianism (or other versions of Monarchianism) and tri-theism. For Social Trinitarians in particular the problem has been one of articulating an account of the Trinity that affirms the individuality of the Persons and their relationships with one another without lapsing into tri-theism.
Nicea opened the discussion of the “theology” of the Trinity, understood as the exploration of the relations amongst Persons—the “immanent Trinity” as distinct from the “economic Trinity,” that is the Trinity understood in terms of the distinct roles of the Persons in their worldly activities, in creation, redemption and sanctification. Nicea cashed out the homoousios claim by noting that the Son was “begotten, not made” indicating that he was, as noted in a parallel formula then current, “out of the Father’s ousia.” Furthermore, the Holy Spirit was declared at Constantinople to have the same sort of ontological status as the Son. So in the Fourth Century, at the Councils of Nicea and Constantinople, and through the work of the Cappadocians, the agenda for Trinitarian theology was set and the boundaries of orthodoxy were marked.
Within these parameters, the Trinity doctrine poses problems of three sorts: first, theological problems in reconciling theological doctrines concerning the character and properties of God with Trinitarian claims; secondly, theological puzzles that arise from Christological claims in particular; and finally logical puzzles posed by the Trinity doctrine itself. It remains to be seen whether it is possible to formulate a coherent doctrine of the Trinity within the constraints of Christian orthodoxy.

Catholic view on the Trinity.
"Now this is the Catholic faith: We worship one God in the Trinity and the Trinity in unity, without either confusing the persons or dividing the substance; for the person of the Father is one, the Son's is another, the Holy Spirit's another; but the Godhead of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is one, their glory ...
St. Thomas Aquinas begins his teaching on the Trinity by asserting that "God is Father, God is Son, and God is Holy Spirit," and that these are not three but one God. Further, God's Word is also part of his existence.
What Shila posted about the Trinity.
For there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit. But the Godhead of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is all one. … So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God.
1 John 5:7
There are three in heaven who prove it is true. They are the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one.
God is a spirit, he appears to us as the Holy Spirit. But the two are one. God also came to earth as Jesus.
John 1:In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning.
John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
So god is a spirit, he appears to us as the Holy Spirit, he also appeared to us as Jesus. But the three are one.
Note the three concepts are the same.

Why is the Trinity hard to explain?
The doctrine of the Trinity poses a deep and difficult problem. On the one hand, it says that there are three distinct persons— Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and that each of these persons “is God.” On the other hand, it says that there is one and only one God. So it appears to involve a contradiction.

So it appears to involve a contradiction.
The Trinity
Christians believe that God is a Trinity of Persons, each omnipotent, omniscient and wholly benevolent, co-equal and fully divine. There are not three gods, however, but one God in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Prima facie, the doctrine more commonly known as the Trinity seems gratuitous: why multiply divine beings beyond necessity—especially since one God is hard enough to believe in? For Christians, however, the Trinity doctrine is neither gratuitous nor unmotivated. Claims about Christ’s divinity are difficult to reconcile with the Christian doctrine that there is just one God: Trinitarian theology is an attempt to square the Christian conviction that Jesus is the Son of God, fully divine yet distinct from his Father, with the Christian commitment to monotheism. Nevertheless, while the Trinity doctrine purports to solve a range of theological puzzles it poses a number of intriguing logical difficulties akin to those suggested by the identity of spatio-temporal objects through time and across worlds, puzzle cases of personal identity, and problems of identity and constitution. Philosophical discussions of the Trinity have suggested solutions to the Trinity puzzle comparable to solutions proposed to these classic identity puzzles. When it comes to the Trinity puzzle, however, one must determine whether such solutions accord with theological constraints.

The word mammal is found in the article posted.
It is research on the embryos of mammals. See excerpt:
The international team of researchers has built a comprehensive atlas of early mammalian morphogenesis -- the process of an organism developing shape and structure -- analyzing how mouse, rabbit, and monkey embryos develop in space and time. Based on this atlas, they see that individual events such as cell divisions and movements are highly chaotic, yet the embryos as a whole end up looking very similar to one another. With this dataset, they propose a physical model that explains how a mammalian embryo builds structure from chaos.

If the price increase reaches equilibrium it's not technically a shortage. That aside, why is a lower price "better" overall? It's better for buyers, sure, but also worse for sellers.

. If the value of real estate plummets, there will also be winners and losers, and people will complain that the economy is doing terribly. I know you can cherry-pick the effects of immigration (especially short-term) and find negative impacts for some people, I'm just not convinced those impacts remain negative in the aggregate.
Immigrants drive up the demand for housing. Thereby creating a shortage of availability and hence followed by price increases.

Take the butterfly, you have a caterpillar that at a certain point in time, grows a cocoon, then the caterpillar liquefies, and this homogenous liquid, with no structure at all, it slowly assembles into a butterfly, a completely different creature emerges from the cocoon, full grown and able to fly....from a liquid.We are just going to have to look deeper to understand it.
But you don’t study butterflies to understand mammals.
Because butterflies are not mammals. The topic is about mammals.

I assume that's why housing prices are rising. An increase of the population due to immigration since we are below replacement levels, means more demand for less supply so now it cost 500k to move into a shack
Assuming their take-home wages are around 21% of the economic value of what they produce for the businesses they work for – like workers in similar entry-level jobs in restaurants and construction – then immigrants added a total of $2.2 trillion to the U.S. economy yearly.

There is nothing about the trinity that is determined by nature or even considered natural.He is using the word "natural" analogically. You would have known that if you understood what he was talking about.
St Thomas Aquinas repeatedly used the word same/sameness when comparing the three.
Aquinas says that the alleged consequence would follow only if the persons were the same both in thing and in concept. But they are not; they are merely the same thing.
This move is puzzling. Aquinas holds that the three are not merely similar or derived from the same source, but are in some strong sense the same, but not identical (i.e. numerically the same) which he appears to understand as sameness in both thing and concept. Even this last is surprising; one would think that for Aquinas “sameness in thing” just is identity, and that “sameness in concept” would mean that we apply the same concept to some apparent things (whether or not they are in fact one or many). Christopher Hughes holds that Aquinas is simply confused, his desire for orthodoxy having led him into this (and other) necessary falsehoods. On Hughes’s reading, Aquinas does think of “sameness in thing” as identity, but he incoherently holds it to be non-transitive (i.e. if A and B are identical, and B and C are identical, it doesn’t follow that A and C are identical), while in some contexts assuming (correctly) that it is transitive (Hughes 1989, 217–40).
Thomas Aquinas' Trinitarian theology has been criticized as proposing an abstract notion of God that is divorced from salvation history and that is supported by tedious and ultimately incomprehensible explication.Says who? You? The Council of Trent did not seem to think so.
They did not know how to handle the contradictions the Trinity doctrine caused.
"God is the Father" means we are applying a nature to a person.What is the nature of someone mean?Someone's nature is their character, which they show by the way they behave. Just how do the managers harness their energy, rivalry and ambitious nature into winning teamwork? She trusted people. That was her nature. Synonyms: temperament, character, personality, disposition More Synonyms of nature.That is not what it means in philosophy or theology. Further showing you don't know what you are talking about.
God the Father is a title given to God in Christianity. In mainstream trinitarian Christianity, God the Father is regarded as the first Person of the Trinity. It is a title given to God.
"God" is a term that is universally applied to the Three persons. However, when you apply it to one you are saying that person has the nature of God. Saying: "God the Father" is a particular and then to say "is a title applied to God" You are using the term "God" here universally. To then go from there to say that "God the Father is God the Son" is to say two particulars are the same thing because of a universal nature. That is a fallacy.
God the Father is a title given to God in Christianity. In mainstream trinitarian Christianity, God the Father is regarded as the first Person of the Trinity, followed by the second person, Jesus Christ the Son, and the third person, God the Holy Spirit.
The first says there is no real distinction in Persons.This is what I said and the "the first" refers to your post #143
Therefore God the father is the son and is the Holy Spirit, and that these are not three but one God.
So I was referencing you as I said.Note even Jesus calls God the FatherYeah, when he was referring to the First Person of the Trinity. I am not saying The First Person is not God. I am saying the Second Person is not God the Father because that is what the church teaches.
Therefore God the father is the son and is the Holy Spirit, and that these are not three but one God.
The Trinity (Latin: Trinitas, lit. 'triad', from Latin: trinus 'threefold') is the Christian doctrine concerning the nature of God, which defines one God existing in three, coeternal, consubstantial divine persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit, three distinct persons (hypostases) sharing one essence/substance/nature (homoousion).
What did Jesus say about the Trinity?
He did not specifically refer to the term Trinity but did describe God in what we would call trinitarian terms or formulations. Jesus described God as "the Father", he described himself as God's son, and one with God the Father, and described the Holy Spirit as somehow proceeding from both the Father and himself.
Note even Jesus calls God the Father.

The video you posted is people screaming in English. Which means it is not of Fatima, because Fatima is in Portugal...So how does this, or other videos discredit the Miracle of the Sun???? Because some crazy people think they see a miracle when it is not, therefore all sun miracles are false?
Towards the end of the video it mentions Ireland. The sun never shines like that in Ireland. That is why the people saw it as a miracle.

USA = Greatest number of migrantsUSA = Greatest in technologyMigrants bring in money, labor, some even start buisnesses of their own. Most importantly, they bring in knowledge which USA needs for technological advancement.Maybe if USA had high IQ like Japan, maybe it wouldnt need migrants, but as it stands right now, USA needs migrants due to both knowledge and low birth rates.
Elon Musk is a good example of how migrants are making America prosperous.

With the technique of spaced repetition, it enables me to learn with less effort while achieving good results. Plus, all these brain and memory improving apps help too, as well as my understanding of which words I need to learn as priority.
Don’t waste your vocabulary with swear words. Put an honest effort learning Japanese and improving your IQ.

Japanese people have highest IQ in the world, so learning Japanese might give me higher IQ, which will help me deal with my issues as trans.
Japan is famous in the world for the quality of its electronics, cars and motorcycles, which are built using technology that is more advanced than others.
No mention of rehabilitating trans.

A transgender (often shortened to trans) person is someone whose gender identity differs from that typically associated with the sex they were assigned at birth.[2]Often, transgender people desire medical assistance to medically transition from one sex to another; those who do may identify as transsexual.[3][4] Transgender does not have a universally accepted definition, including among researchers;[5] it can function as an umbrella term. The definition given above includes binary trans men and trans women and may also include people who are non-binary or genderqueer.[6][7] Other related groups include third-gender people, cross-dressers, and drag queens and drag kings; some definitions include these groups as well.[6][8]Being transgender is distinct from sexual orientation, and transgender people may identify as heterosexual (straight), homosexual (gay or lesbian), bisexual, asexual, or otherwise, or may decline to label their sexual orientation.[9] The opposite of transgender is cisgender, which describes persons whose gender identity matches their assigned sex.[10] Accurate statistics on the number of transgender people vary widely,[11] in part due to different definitions of what constitutes being transgender.[5] Some countries collect census data on transgender people, starting with Canada in 2021[12][13][14][15]. Generally, less than 1% of the worldwide population is transgender, with figures ranging from <0.1% to 0.6%.[16][17]Many transgender people experience gender dysphoria, and some seek medical treatments such as hormone replacement therapy, gender-affirming surgery, or psychotherapy. Not all transgender people desire these treatments,[18] and some cannot undergo them for legal,[19] financial,[20] or medical[21] reasons.The legal status of transgender people varies by jurisdiction. Many transgender people experience transphobia (violence or discrimination against transgender people) in the workplace,[22] in accessing public accommodations,[23] and in healthcare.[24] In many places, they are not legally protected from discrimination.[25][page needed] Several cultural events are held to celebrate the awareness of transgender people, including Transgender Day of Remembrance and International Transgender Day of Visibility,[26][27] and the transgender flag is a common transgender pride symbol.[28]
Now explain to him how learning Japanese will help your condition as a transgender.

Suppositum Definition: Something supposed to be true; an assumption. Suppositum Latin From the past participle of supponere, to suppose.No. That is not what it means.Sub ponere. To be placed under.It developed into the latin word supponere which has the primary meaning of "to place under"Which transfered to the philosophical meaning of that which is placed under the appearances of something or substance. In other words: what the thing is. Which is determined by nature. So yes,He was talking about nature. St. Thomas assumes you have already read his philosophical works and can tell when he is talking about certain concepts in A treatise about God. Which further points to the fact that you haven't studied this, because you don't understand what is being said.
There is nothing about the trinity that is determined by nature or even considered natural.
Thomas Aquinas' Trinitarian theology has been criticized as proposing an abstract notion of God that is divorced from salvation history and that is supported by tedious and ultimately incomprehensible explication.
Trinity definition provided by the Catholic Church:
The Trinity is One. We do not confess three Gods, but one God in three persons, the “consubstantial Trinity”. The divine persons do not share the one divinity among themselves but each of them is God whole and entire: “The Father is that which the Son is, the Son that which the Father is, the Father and the Son that which the Holy Spirit is, i.e. by nature one God.” In the words of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215), “Each of the persons is that supreme reality, viz., the divine substance, essence or nature.”
The divine persons are really distinct from one another. “God is one but not solitary.” “Father”, “Son”, “Holy Spirit” are not simply names designating modalities of the divine being, for they are really distinct from one another: “He is not the Father who is the Son, nor is the Son he who is the Father, nor is the Holy Spirit he who is the Father or the Son.” They are distinct from one another in their relations of origin: “It is the Father who generates, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds.” The divine Unity is Triune.
You did not complete the sentence God the father is the son and is the Holy Spirit. God the father means god is the father."God the Father" is the combination of words referring to the First person of the Trinity.
Tyson the boxer means Tyson is a boxer. God the father means God is the father.
"God is the Father" means we are applying a nature to a person.THEY DO NOT MEAN THE SAME THING.
What is the nature of someone mean?
Someone's nature is their character, which they show by the way they behave. Just how do the managers harness their energy, rivalry and ambitious nature into winning teamwork? She trusted people. That was her nature. Synonyms: temperament, character, personality, disposition More Synonyms of nature.
God the Father is a title given to God in Christianity. In mainstream trinitarian Christianity, God the Father is regarded as the first Person of the Trinity. It is a title given to God.
This tells me you haven't studied the basic philosophy and logic or theology behind this.
You cannot even grasp the concept of the Trinity.
I never said I could. Nor did I say anything that says I have.
Here you admit you cannot even grasp the concept of the Trinity.
The first says there is no real distinction in Persons.”This is referring to what YOU said.
That is a lie. You said it is your post#155
The first says there is no real distinction in Persons.The second says All 3 Persons have the same nature.
