• Oct31-2011--six killed in US drone attack in north waziristan
  
• Oct31-2011--with the PPP in sindh becoming almost a slave to the mqm out of fright and an inability to organize many see teh PPP being tumbled out of politics by the macho streetwise politicians...Imran khan has definitely knocked out teh PMln in lahore although the altaf show was a bit insipid as it focussed on their slavery to asif zardari...many suggest that altaf hussein was teh best example for the "pot calling teh kettle black"...at least teh sharifs came back and did not run away permanently like him...if going to jail is good than why does not he come back and serve his prison sentences...The imran khan views contain some confusion...asset statements for what...they serve no purpose...his willingness to deal with the americans head on is definitely different although one doubts that he will be able to persevere against the nasty meanness of teh americans...he also seems to have problems with economics...increasing taxes is just not too good a idea as all taxes cause price hikes...otherwise many feel that he might at least be able to explain his views having an oxford education...although the PMLn says he has already built a pound 700000 home from charitable contributions...his liking for the fata pukhtuns is admirable but explaining their violent attitudes is not...if he wont beg when in government than he will be able to keep teh peoples support...although the PPP could knock out some of his views by changing their policy on just drones...obviously if anyone prioritizes solutions to the electricity problems than some sanity could return to living in pakistan...not going to war with the people of pakistan is a good idea although he should realize that the army is needed in many aspects of foreign relations...his reputation of a right wing extremist and being indian natured many say still persists...his views on china and increasing taxation seem tobe similar to the PPP...many think he should hone his policies and not fall into typical policy fiasco areas like we will develop education and textiles and be friends with china and increase tax collections and have an independent foreign policy...it seems that he also wants to come into government and than attempt to develop some sort of governance politics
  
• Oct30-2011--the general analysis is that the PPP has lost its ability to organize street protests and it has hired a london crazy to do its job...baber awan, firdous ashiq and rehman malik seem an ineffective unpopular trio flailing away at opponents...rehman malik had flown to london to arrange teh mqm meeting even before the PMLn meeting...so the hoopla against the shabaz invectives was also just a show... baber awan, khosa and sharjeel memon have been attacking teh PMLn for months now...many suggest that the PPP with its burning of PMLn offices, price and tax hikes and refusal to handle situations like teh floods, electricity and gas shortages is a danger for democracy as is teh mqm's ethnic seperatism/terrorism and suppression of political opponents of all kinds in karachi ...many doubt that teh PMLn can topple the PPP by january but others suggest that teh PPP might itself be ready for elections after the senate elections as teh PPP's minority mandate has expired with the death of nusrat bhutto...zardari many say has gained very little respect with his sindhi mentality and shabaz sharif only suggested that the people might hang him upside down if he did not move on...the PMLn now suggests that zardari means swiss/SGS corruption and is the public face of teh PPP's loot and plunder and the people in street protests could hang him upside down...Firdous ashiq awan negated her own thesis by calling shabaz sharif a mad man...with altaf also pro military coups an undemocratic event could easily however take place as the politicians getting over the threats of taleban terrorism...iftikahar chaudhry aproved the previous coup......however others think that the failed PPP governance is the probable cause and elections could be held sooner than later and political groups are starting to brandish their street power in the face of a PPP losing support at a much faster rate than earlier thought...many think that if the PMLn is game dissolving the punjab assembly and calling fresh elections in punjab early could finally burst teh PPP bubble...a spanner in teh wheel...could stop the wheel or break it...?
  
• Oct30-2011--The mqm's anti punjabism came to teh fore quickly as they started to hype( on zardari's orders) about shabaz sharifs language...can altaf hussein comment on waseem akhters comment "mujra's going on in all punjabis homes"...shabaz sharif cant have been as dirty as the mqm methinks...zardari is known in the punjab as a zia ul haq spy let lose on teh unwary bhuttos...and is known on the internet by various epithets...both altaf and zardari often referred to as devils and jhinn/bhoots......altaf now can be called the naukar of jagirdar zardari...and his henchman rehman malik...? article 6 applies to the mqm tactics of attempted secession...and can hardly be applied to political rhetoric of any form or type...PPP and mqm seem unable to tolerate teh PMLn's mudslinging while willing to forget all the murders and terrorism committed in karachi by the PPP/MQM...
  
• Oct29-2011--when the situation becomes troublesome test fire a missile was teh military governments solution as military brass stare into the sky...pakistan tested a multiple cruise missile launcher(ala the iranians...)pakistan they say has copied a US tomahawk cruise missile many of which landed in balochistan when over 400 were fired at afghanistan in a day
  
• Oct29-2011--13 killed in south waziristan drone attack
  
• Oct29-2011--the PMLn jalsa made headlines as the PPP worried about teh anti zardari tone...The PMLn did not suggest resignations but asked asif zardari an isolated sindhi with no influence elsewhere to move on before he is hanged upside down in street protests...asif zardari they say gets up at eight before his alcoholic groggy puffy eyed primeminister and rushes off in the official plane to karachi or sukkur or nawabshah...Gilani they say gets to his office around twelve......some started to talk about teh possibility of an egyptian style protest in parliament square islamabad but pakistanis not considerd too politically aware/adept to have that sort of perseverance to topple a government that way...many say the PMln wants elections soon while the PPP might be ready for them a year down the line..many say PMLn politics which has been hurt by the dengue outbreak and almost no populist policies like teh PPP needs to touch bases with their supporters who are becoming wary of the unreal nature of teh PPP and PMLn...many say that shahbaz sharif should realize that mosquito sprays needed in all surrounding lahore areas and teh rest of punjab too...federal government too should mount a polio like campaign to eradicate teh more troublesome dengue...
  
• Oct28-2011--crime fighting nowshera SHO dies in a suicide blast while apparently travelling in a pajero...?
  
• Oct28-2011--Rehman Malik seems to lack an understanding of democracy...is friendly with karachi terrorist altaf hussein but worried about a jalsa by teh PMLn(apparently only rehman malik and altaf hussein had any influence on karachis political killers...?)Altaf hussein has been behind almost all the troublemaking(violence,ethnic warfare,nogo areas,bomb blasts, terrorism, murders, killing) in karachi for teh last 23 years...altaf hussein the supposed ethnic revolutionary exiled in england for almost 15 years is now considered little more than a dum chala for the interior minister and the wadera type asif zardari...
  
• Oct28-2011--Another zardari tax being initiated after the Rs4 on electricity...now they want another 40 billion from a new gas tax...
  
• Oct28-2011--mullah nazeer brother and ten others killed in drone attack in north/south waziristan
  
• Oct28-2011--Hilary Clinton continues to harp on a supposed dialogue which does not seem possible...unless pakistan has custody of mullah omar...the pakistanis influence if any has been severely undermined by their lack of influence on teh USA, taleban and drone attacks...a dialogue is usually initiated by contacts with the rivals as teh US well knows and they usually take place in neutral locations where the taleban would have complete protection...in the past the US has used various methods including direct talks with teh chinese and vietnamese...in this situation just initiating talks would be difficult with the US still on the warpath...if the haqqanis are influential than attacking them would be counterproductive too any negotiations...without their safety ensured who is going to come to teh talks..
  
• Oct28-2011--many think that the railways minister is just trying to create opportunities for corruption...with 100 engines lying around he should order the engineers and workers to repair them...if it is that difficult get some help from the armies tank rebuild factory who have the knowhow to repair diesel engines...railway engines have just a diesel engine and a rotating mechanism...the railways has been repairing its own engines since 1947...they say railways have several places like moghulpura in lahore where engine repair is done...when railways has the capabilities to build and assemble engines than repairing should not be a difficult task...get to it bilour or go home...
  
• Oct27-2011--intruding US helicopters fired upon 5 kilometers inside pakistan territory
  
• Oct27-2011--BBC according to Dawn says that the pakistanis provide the afghan taleban with weapons and hiding places, training and suicide bombers...the information seems inaccurate as the taleban need to hide in afghanistan and with even google able to monitor everything a big training camp seems tobe out of teh question...
  
• Oct27-2011--The federal government(read that sindh government) which has made divide and rule a constitutional provision now has four more ministries...National heritage and Integration,food security,disaster management, national regulations and services...Bijarani made minister for interprovincial coordination...the slow moving lethargy of the PPP evident in everything...many suggest that all these issues are the primeministers job and he clearly states that i cant handle my responsibilities..Gilani has been slow in handling most issues and usually sometimes after three years has the riposte ..i handled that too...he obviously hopped off on another foreign tour...Gilani's abilities seem little more than speech making in teh national assembly
  
• Oct27-2011--two police officers involved in the kharotabad incident sacked despite evidence that they shot dead terrorists in cold blood...balochistan now has a winter capital--the lifeless gwadar and all cancer patients are treated free...?
  
• Oct27-2011--workers particularly of teh state sector type are a vanishing and useless breed...it seems that they cant really run things or work efficiently...ie without new airplanes and vanishing railway engines(they had three hundred and are left with only 75)...maybe the loco shed workers should have their salaries tripled so that they can repair the engines...or get some retired railway workers back to make them work...the railways has been unable to handle engines and salary and pay for electricity...one railway pensioner died in lahore waiting for his pension
  
• Oct26-2011--AJK CJ shot and injured as four die in lower Dir bomb blast
  
• Oct26-2011--PMLn might be more amenable now to take along other parties such as teh likeminded PMLq, PMLq and teh JI or even the JUIf...many suggest that in a coup scenario or military toppling someone like Humayun Akhter Khan who is being propagated as a serious handler of issues might be become the frontal face of an ISI/military intrigue...PMLn seems able to handle PMLq-PPP joint candidates better as one of teh two is usually miffed at the others candidate
  
• Oct26-2011--Saudi Arabia might soon have a new king as well as a crown prince as King Abdullah has medical problems too...longtime internal security handler Prince Nayef could soon be the king as he is supposedly to takeover as crown prince in the exceptionally large saudi royal family where rulers have dozens of children and wifes...
  
• Oct26-2011--many suggest that the PPP is nearing teh end of its rule as despite not being short of funds railway pensioners who are generally old and frail made to wait days and nights at banks for their pensions...the last PPP regime was kicked out after reserves had fallen to 300 million dollars...
  
• Oct26-2011--so frightened is the US of islamic villains rising from their graves that qaddhafi and son buried in a unlocateable desert grave...that follows the burial of ossama ben laden at sea...
  
• Oct26-2011--The US says that afghans to hold talks with teh taleban...while US to provide operational guidelines and the villaineous pakistanis to force teh taleban to teh table..?
  
• Oct26-2011--PPP government supporting moonis elahis extortion attempts say the ex FIA chief as reports disappear and accused allowed to flee teh country...says 630 million recovered while 420 milion still tobe recovered...the desperate Gilani apparently congratulated moonis elahi...?
  
• Oct25-2011--u can now order a qurbani ka bakra home delivered on teh internet from symbios.pk while in lahore the government offers free airconditioned transport to goat selling points outside teh city...progress and development..eh..!!
  
• Oct25-2011--Karzai and hilary clinton backtrack...karzai had said that they would fight the USA if they attacked pakistan and hilary had threatened pakistan with dire actions which many suggested to mean the breaking off aid and bombing fata...
  
• Oct25-2011--Taseer murder case judge a shiite sent abroad after supposed potential threats...many say religious fanatics unable to provide any justification for murder on the basis of blasphemy...the governor who like many in teh PPP attempted tobe a liberal was not guilty of blasphemy and only urged sympathy for a christian woman accused...supposedly teh mqm has murdered over 150 policemen over teh last 15 years for participation in a campaign to subdue the mqm's destructive and murderous politics in karachi
  
• Oct24-2011--with gas shortages already being felt teh sindhi natured regimes methods of controlling shortages will figure in how they are perceived...at the moment they seem tobe acting after rather than before with almost open attempts at strangling the punjab economy...The PMLn which is the strongest party in punjab is not known tobe frightened of the emerging challenger imran khan as they see that causing teh PPP more problems as the have been a diehard opponent of imran khan's cancer and bhakari politics...punjab usually is swayed by the party that is expected to win which causes votes to swing towards the most powerful punjab party...with teh center being turned into a useless military base the provinces are likely tobe ever more inclined to ethnic voting...
  
• Oct24-2011--An indian lama helicopter strayed into pakistani territory for more than twenty kilometers before it was brought down...near skardu...however the militaries weakness strategically in the region saw it returned teh same day
  
• Oct24-2011--Nusrat Bhutto an iranian socialite who led the initial resistance against Zia Ul haq's martial law died in Dubai...Not able to save her husband from the army she quit politics and lived in Dubai for most of teh time since 1982...Thus ends the Bhutto dynasty which despite the armies and muslim leagues murderous opposition survived in a way for almost forty years...she is the only one of teh bhutto family to die naturally...ZAB was nurtured by ayub khan with whom he split after teh tashkent agreement and formed the PPP at that time a relatively populist party which had almost no opposition initially...but industrialists/muslim leaguers/NAP/303(that he fired for corruption) worked for his elimination and teh PPP was steadily occupied by the wealthy agricultural class with workers/people only good for votes...methinks her worst decision was to make Benazir marry asif zardari who many think served as their nemesis..
  
• Oct23-2011--Pakistan protests Hilary Clintons nasty comments and refuses to squeeze the haqqanis...?Pakistan ready to play ball and facilitate negotiations with no gaurantees...pakistan suggests that running the afghan army would require a billion rupees double that of teh pakistan army..one doubts that the US would fund an afghan army to that extent after teh US leaves and the pakistanis fear well equiped splinter groups forming in afghanistan...unless the taleban join the government and agree to behave in a disciplined manner things will be troublesome in afghanistan for a long time...
  
• Oct23-2011--in the second gujranwala led violent protests students set on fire teh education board building after days of protests...The punjab government asked all boards to reexamine teh papers of intermediate part 1 2011...gujranwala had also led the power riots recently
  
• Oct23-2011--The PPP regime which is at best grappling with one issue after another issued 4 billion to the railways after protests...the railways will probably need a minimum of 20-30 billiont o run on teh present pattern...The PPP wants to hoard the government revenues while suggesting other means for railways to earn money...railway workers who used to repair engines quite efficiently seem to be not working properly...The government should force changes in management and maintenance procedures...or bring back some british railway management experts who designed teh system or even retired pakistani railway officials to keep the engines moving
  
• Oct23-2011--Aftab Sultan becomes the inefficient IB's head
  
• Oct23-2011--Chaudhry Nisar moves SC on improper appointment of teh NAB chief
  
• Oct22-2011--with zardari supporters being kicked out by the qaim group many suggest that zardari is aiming for his mildish sister to takeover as sindh chief minister...the PPP has been unable to handle teh sindh situation and in teh fourth year they are yet to see any understanding for their pro mqm policy...PPP afraid of putting up a party candidate against zulfikar mirza's son as there is teh pressure of fehmida mirza as well
  
• Oct22-2011--In another fiasco reports suggest that Hilary Clinton raved and ranted at the pakistani PM and military bosses and wanted action in days and weeks...The pakistanis who are known for their bigheaded nature are now in a fix as they have little or no influence on the haqqanis or the taleban...many suggest that gilani or zardari had earlier suggested that the taleban would be dealt with in six months...three or four years later the situation is somewhat better on teh terrorism front but not on the economic/taleban fronts and most kiyani scenarios have not materialised...many say that teh ISI suggested that the americans fight their own battles in afghanistan as the pakistanis were wary of crossing even teh afghan border...threats that seem tobe looming are american aerial bombardments and obviously the usual stoppage of aid...the americans continue to think that we are subjugated minions not willing to obey orders...
  
• Oct22-2011--In another major change teh PPP regime fell off its high horse and acquitted Moonis Elahi who had ripped off NICL to the tune of over 320 million...
  
• Oct22-2011--In a major change the remaining zardari loyalist the IG sindh was transfered to the position of IG motorway...with a reputation for killing politicians means that politicians had better be wary of travelling on his highways...Wajid Durrani has been on the transfer track since he was IG islamabad...initially he was made DG IB but that was quickly changed to the less innocuous position...a new DG IB has also taken over who might hopefully be better than the first two PPP appointees who have been utter failures in their jobs
  
• Oct21-2011--PMLn opposition leader to raise teh issue of a lack of consultation in real terms in the SC...Asif zardari said he had not raised teh issue of teh Admirals corruption...everybody now regards admirals tobe quite corrupt..many suggest that chaudhry nisar had asked for an intelligence assessment of teh admiral but had been denied access...!!
  
• Oct21-2011--with Irsa hell bent on reducing hydel power generation teh PPP finally took a step to ease electricity shortages by involving teh wapda chief in teh water release decision making...many have urged a strategy of giving electricity generation priority over conserving dam water for needless agriculture especially in teh winter months...
  
• Oct21-2011--The pakistan army finally went after the bara terrorists killing 34 and losing five soldiers...The pakistan army seems reluctant to take action in the more open areas while perfectly happy to fight in teh remoter places
  
• Oct21-2011--As the US loses friends willing to fight a losing war morally in afghanistan Hilary Clinton still thinks the solution lies in the pakistan army attempts at thrashing its own tribals..many suggest that teh US really needs a Henry Kissinger who would have been ready to parachute into the taleban stronghold in kandahar..even Condoleeza Rice was a better strategist...many suggest that teh US look for a male secretary of state...One tv channel referred to Hilary Clinton insultingly as pakistan ki saas...mother in laws never have good relations with pakistan...the only way is for teh american army to fight it out in afghanistan...no real safe haven has been found in the pakistani tribal areas yet...although one does wonder where all teh trucks of ammunition are coming from...the taleban have made the US and pakistan look like ordinary fighters with small groups embarassing and doing enough damage to keep the US interested or hooked ..the US should look at teh Nato strategy in libya where they stopped bombing the day qaddafi died...The US has to clear its head of confusion and realize that Ossama is dead and there mission accomplished...move on many say...no outside country has ever rebuilt another country and the help wanted to "fight build and talk" seems a lame argument...u can only talk or fight...
  
• Oct21-2011--They say Gilani trembling in his boots as Hilary called teh ISI a bunch of crooks led by teh bahawalpuri badmash...!!!Hilary threatened the taleban in afghanistan that they should be ready for a fight soon as teh wobbly legged US army wants to get home quickly...many suggest that if teh US army had gone after teh taleban in their strongholds things might have been different...The US army would have been back home or the taleban decimated...many think she is trying to frighten the pakistanis into backing out from supporting teh taleban...
  
• Oct20-2011--As the PPP seems tobe losing support in teh punjab at a much faster rate than previously imagined raja riaz, latif khosa and sharjeel memon(all three generally anti punjab) play teh corruption card against the troubled dengue inflicted shabaz sharif and the ever more popular nawaz sharif...sharif senior many say failed to get teh support of teh PMLq and MQM even for a non PMLn premier...they forget that raja riaz was a senior minister in the PMln cabinet during teh sasti roti scheme which failed to gain popularity due to it being lahore based and not universal...spemding ten billion per year on providing teh poor with affordable roti would be more a PPP scheme than an industrialists charity sop to the people...almost similar to the PPP's BISP which does not cover even a minor portion of teh poverty stricken...such schemes are selective and not based on teh entire populations needs...it would be much better to reduce prices for electricity, wheat and milk...
  
• Oct20-2011--Gilani says Rehman Malik lying about plot to kidnap Bilawal...many suggest that Gilani might be behind some recent criminal events...others suggest that sindhs emerging strongman phoned zardari...return him to dubai or...
  
• Oct20-2011--Gilani has an upside down mind...he does'nt listen to altaf hussein asking for military intervention and a crooked mohajir revolution but finds it troubling when teh PMLn tries to prick the gilani-zardari dictatorship by suggesting that elections be held or the punjab asembly be dissolved for new elections there at least...it is democratic to ask for new elections but criminal to even suggest military coups like teh crooked matawast tabqati altaf hussein...the people are already fed up with the revolutionaries like Gilani,zardari, taleban, mqm etc. and dont want anymore of the kind who can only mean more trouble for the populace...many suggest that the punjabis should be wary of the crooked anti punjabis like latif khosa,altaf hussein and baber awan...
  
• Oct19-2011--As the US increased drone attacks and the US military buildup continued across from north waziristan Kiani told a group of parliamentarians that he did not have a plan how to counter a US aerial and ground assault or even a sneak commando raid but hoped teh US would stay away from pakistans internal areas...upto now teh US has not obeyed kianis orders and left them stupefied without a reaction as they raided abbottabad...many are suggesting that the army and airforce have clear plans to counter any attack whether from the US, afghanistan , india or taleban...The DG military operations says that 80 % of the indian armed force is lined up on our borders including seven of their nine commands and three strike corps and 81% of their forward bases...many have suggested that the indian SU 30 aircraft can penetrate pakistan easily against teh slow pakistan air defence mechanism..one parliamentary committee refused to attend teh briefing saying it should have been held in the national assembly
  
• Oct18-2011--In the bara area 14 militants killed and 9 Fc men...In orakzai militants kill five in an ambush
  
• Oct18-2011--load shedding restarts as outflows from dams are restricted and gilani(phir andon pe beth gaya...)
  
• Oct18-2011--railway workers block train movements for ten hours on teh context of non payment of salaries...The PPP apparently cant run many things...the power system...the sindhi-mohajir divide in karachi, terrorism--interior minister says he only protects vip's...price hikes,the railways which can at best run a few trains for tourism safaris...obviously frightened to even starighten out the provinces even when they are on killing sprees...obviously appointments have been a big problem to them as they continuously run out of shiites...ie from multan...and monetary allocations from teh budget...bari takleef hoti he sindhyon ko agar punjab ko kuch allocate ho jaye...handling the USA, india and afghanistan has always been a problem anyway...than there are drones , baloch liberation movements, hazaras killings, cross border attacks by fazlullah...? really the PPP should realize that things dont solve themselves...
  
• Oct18-2011--The opposition leader to move teh SC on the incomplete process of an admiral being appointed to the NAB...the article 6 suggests that a lt general can be made the head of NAB but not an admiral(sic)...zardari probably also does not know the meaning of lt. general ie apart from consultation...what teh sindhis do at petaro is now apparent to everyone...
  
• Oct17-2011--railway workers who wont repair locomotives and are probably also looting electricity threaten to shutdown the railways which the pukhtun minister who is literally trying to destroy a supposedly vital means of transport especially cargo...as electricity is disconnected to stations and railway colonies
  
• Oct17-2011--The uneducated Zardari could not handle consultancy with the opposition leader as usual...they go to extreme lengths to consult and pamper altaf hussein(unconstitutionally) but cannot follow a simple constitutional obligation...as usual the sindhi natured PPP cannot do anything right...In a sneak and underhand manner the controversial Fasih Bokhari took office in the middle of the night...considered a stubborn mule by nawaz sharif no apparent consultation was visible but the dubiousness of chaudhry Nisar who is being wooed by teh PPP and teh dengue victim shahbaz sharif seem tobe backing off from taking the issue to the SC...The PPP practices its dictatorial nature and deviousness on the PMLn for no apparent reason...while going the extra mile with crooks such as altaf hussein and the mqm...
  
• Oct17-2011--The altaf hussein challenge to teh PMLn and a deflated PPP in the punjab was launched on the basis of lies that cases against him were political...obviously he would have been back home by now if the cases were not based on his criminal actions...he tried to woo the army which the mqm was bitterly opposed to and at war with in karachi...many suggest that altaf hussein is the most cowardly political leader in the country...many others also ran away but they had the courage to come back when teh situation changed...That included asif zardari, benazir, Nawaz, Shabaz, mustafa khar etc....nobody ran away for good and than claimed that they were middle class when many of their mna's are industrialists...which matawast tabka leader runs politics from london...he obviously does not realize that in punjab only dogs, thieves and djinns gp out at night...many suggest that altaf hussein locks himself up in an apartment in london rarely going out during night or day...In punjab the mohajir support is based mostly on east punjabis and kashmiris who are generally followers of nawaz sharif also a mohajir...however here the immigrants remained loyal to pakistan and the muslim league as opposed to karachi where they had loyalty only for religious and ethnic groups and opposed the military and police but were friendly with coup plotters...most urdu speakers and biharis ran off to karachi from the punjab ...so altaf can at best bank on teh support of some mohajir concentrations such as in islamabad and probably other migrants to punjab such as pukhtuns and tribals...many doubt that he can challenge the three bigger parties in the punjab but will obviously try to get a few seats off the PPP thru charity and threats of troublemaking in karachi
  
• Oct16-2011--Zardari who is supposedly very cooperative in karachi turns into a stubborn mule when he arrives in islamabad...while perfectly happy to fly off to london and telephone/negotiate with ethnic terrorists like altaf hussein he does not even talk to or even meet the opposition leader who lives in rawalpindi what to talk of discussing an important appointment
  
• Oct16-2011--around 3000 people in fata have been killed in drone attacks which are supposedly jointly managed by teh CIA and the ISI
  
• Oct16-2011--pakistani airstrikes kil 10 in orakzai while US drone strikes kill three in south waziristan
