I felt out of place in a polo shirt and dockers, like I was the corporate guy in a dark suit at a hippy convention. I took my shoes off to get with the program.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>The room was full. We sat on the floor in a large oval, knee to knee, "closing the gaps," according to Suzmiche, our leader.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Suzmiche said, "This is a chance for you to be in a non-judgmental place." I am not sure what else she said, except she kept mentioning "non-judgmental". When she was done, she asked if there were any questions.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>I wanted to ask, "Yeah, what do we do?", but I did not say anything.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>The music started, which felt like Hindo Rhythm and Blues, if there could be such a thing. Everyone got up and started dancing.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Being someone who practices with a video camera, if I was going to get my Sacred Groove on, I had to shut my eyes. There was no way I could watch these people dance without judging them and without judging myself in the mirror.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Until Suzmiche invited me, I had no intention of going. Have to say, it is fun to have a unique, unexpected challenge, especially when you do not expect it. Sounds like something Yogi would say.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>For an hour and a half, we bounced around. I peeked a few times. The music changed like the scenery in a cross country drive and so how we moved. There was dancing, sitting, rolling and laying, with and without partners that came and went, not me though. I was strictly celibate.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>When the music reached a pitch, and the room was pulsing, I wondered if people were going to start throwing their clothes off. Later I was told, no alcohol and no drugs permitted, which explained the temperance, though it could have gone either way.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Towards the end, people ended up on the floor with a slow ohm hum and a few isolated dancers. I laid on back, my eyes were open by then, and I was not judging a thing, only appreciating the patterns on the ceiling and admiring a woman's hands dancing in a corner of my vision. I was Sacred Grooving.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>The next one is April 29.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><A href="http://www.gainesvilledance.com/Newsletters/Articles/tabid/79/Gainesville-Dance/314/Sacred-Grooving.aspx">www.gainesvilledance.com/Newsletters/Articles/tabid/79/Gainesville-Dance/314/Sacred-Grooving.aspx</A></DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>----------------------------------------------------------<BR>Article: Comment on It Takes Devotion to Train a New Dancer</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>[Nelson sent me this comment on last week's article.]<BR><A href="http://www.gainesvilledance.com/Newsletters/Articles/tabid/79/Gainesville-Dance/305/It-Takes-Devotion-to-Train-a-New-Dancer.aspx">www.gainesvilledance.com/Newsletters/Articles/tabid/79/Gainesville-Dance/305/It-Takes-Devotion-to-Train-a-New-Dancer.aspx</A></DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>My wife and I took lessons from Maria Alvarez in around 1978 or 1979 - more than 30 years ago.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>I greatly regret not continuing. We gave up partly because the only places to dance were bars and such where there were wall to wall people and the smoke was so thick you could cut it up into chunks.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>I still have notes written by my late wife on ChaCha, Swing, Fox Trot, and Disco. We replaced dance with bowling, skiing, tennis and other activities.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>I have gotten back into dance during the past 5 years and enjoy it greatly, lamenting the fact that I would be so much better now had I only continued. Whenever the chance comes up I try to encourage young people (especially my kids and grand kids) to 'get into dancing'.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Anyway, kudos to Maria for all the instruction over more than three decades!</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Cheers to all, Nelson (aka Frank)</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><A href="http://www.gainesvilledance.com/Newsletters/Articles/tabid/79/Gainesville-Dance/312/Comment-on-It-Takes-Devotion-to-Train-a-New-Dancer.aspx">www.gainesvilledance.com/Newsletters/Articles/tabid/79/Gainesville-Dance/312/Comment-on-It-Takes-Devotion-to-Train-a-New-Dancer.aspx</A></DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>-----------------------------------------------------------<BR>1.

We gave up partly because the only places to dance were bars and such where there were wall to wall people and the smoke was so thick you could cut it up into chunks.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>I still have notes written by my late wife on ChaCha, Swing, Fox Trot, and Disco. We replaced dance with bowling, skiing, tennis and other activities.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>I have gotten back into dance during the past 5 years and enjoy it greatly, lamenting the fact that I would be so much better now had I only continued. Whenever the chance comes up I try to encourage young people (especially my kids and grand kids) to 'get into dancing'.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Anyway, kudos to Maria for all the instruction over more than three decades!</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Cheers to all, Nelson (aka Frank)</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><A href="http://www.gainesvilledance.com/Newsletters/Articles/tabid/79/Gainesville-Dance/312/Comment-on-It-Takes-Devotion-to-Train-a-New-Dancer.aspx">www.gainesvilledance.com/Newsletters/Articles/tabid/79/Gainesville-Dance/312/Comment-on-It-Takes-Devotion-to-Train-a-New-Dancer.aspx</A></DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>----------------------------------------------------------<BR>Article: Swing 101 Class 1 Follow Up</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Hello Swing 101 Dancers,</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Congratulations on stepping out of your comfort zone and into social dancing. One of my Salsa instructors said, "dancing will change your life" and it has for many people.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>You all did fantastic.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Do not worry if there were things that you did not get. As the tutor in Blindside said when Michael Oher said he "did not get it," she said, "You do not get it yet. You will."</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>You will too. Everyone will learn everything you need to learn in this Swing 101 class.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>We are not in a hurry. We are going to go at a nice slow pace that everyone can keep up. If this pace is too slow for anyone, you are invited to come to the class for experienced dancers.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Our next class is next Sunday January 29 from 6 to 7. If you know anyone who wants to join us, they still can. They can register here <A href="http://dept.sfcollege.edu/ce">http://dept.sfcollege.edu/ce</A></DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Anyone who wants to join the Contra Dancing 101 class that takes place from 5 to 6 immediately before our Swing class, is welcome to join us and can register at the same link.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>In our first class you learned the basic 6-count rhythm, which you can count Slow, Slow, Quick, Quick.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Slows are two beats of music and Quicks are 1 beat of music. Men start with their left and women with their right.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>For men that would be Left-Slow, Right-Slow, Left, Right.<BR>For women that would be Right-Slow, Left-Slow, Right, Left.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Each count is a step, meaning you change weight fully on each step. You do not just tap your foot. You put your foot down so that you can pick up your other foot.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>You learned some partnering skills. Here are some of the rules:<BR>- Everyone maintains their own balance <BR>- Everyone does their own dancing<BR>- Dance with your hands at waist level so they are available for your partner<BR>- No pushing, no pulling, no grabbing, no reaching, no using force, no thumbs<BR>- We learn to dance without giving weight, no tension and no pressure<BR>- The man leads and the woman follows <BR>- Lead means the man goes first only<BR>- Lead does not mean direct or guide<BR>- The man positions the couple on the dance floor<BR>- The man initiates the choreography and keeps time to the music<BR>- The woman follows the man<BR>- The woman moves with the man so you are dancing together as one <BR>- If the man does the wrong thing, the woman should follow the man</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Happy Dancing,<BR>Andy</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><A href="http://www.gainesvilledance.com/Newsletters/Articles/tabid/79/Gainesville-Dance/309/Swing-Dancing-101-A-Class-1-Basic-Rhythm-and-Partner-Skills.aspx">www.gainesvilledance.com/Newsletters/Articles/tabid/79/Gainesville-Dance/309/Swing-Dancing-101-A-Class-1-Basic-Rhythm-and-Partner-Skills.aspx</A></DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>----------------------------------------------------------<BR>1.

That is really saying something.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Congratulations to all of you for hanging in there, dancers, teachers and organizers. It is not easy to learn to dance. Look at the number of people that drop out. You have accomplished something special, acquiring a unique skill to actively express yourself in our world that is mostly for spectators.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>When I moved to Gainesville, there were no community swing dances like that. The only social dancing was at Maria Alvarez' Imperial Dance Studio.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>My parents went to Maria's dance classes back in the day. I am not sure how long Maria has had her studio, but I guess a few decades.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>It takes a long time to train a new dancer. Looking around the room, a lot of the people there, me included, have come through Maria's studio. If not for Maria's years of devotion to teaching us social dancing, I doubt if we would have had a swing dance this week.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>I say devotion, because that is what it takes to do what Maria has done for all of us. All this time she has been teaching us to dance, she has had a full time job.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>We have social dancing in Gainesville, because Maria laid and maintained the foundation on which we now enjoy the benefits.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Thank her and give her some love.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><A href="http://www.gainesvilledance.com/Newsletters/Articles/tabid/79/Gainesville-Dance/305/It-Takes-Time-and-Devotion-to-Train-a-New-Dancer.aspx">www.gainesvilledance.com/Newsletters/Articles/tabid/79/Gainesville-Dance/305/It-Takes-Time-and-Devotion-to-Train-a-New-Dancer.aspx</A></DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>-----------------------------------------------------------</DIV> <DIV>1.

Sarah invited some of her students to join us and we had 8, enthusiastic, very good young dancers! They are reading "Pride and Prejudice"--so when they are ready, we'll have to do Mr. Beveridge's Maggot from the movie. (Remember--you get in free the second time!! So come on back and now you will be experienced!) And Carol has dusted off her bread machine and we've been enjoying her efforts!</FONT></DIV><FONT size=3></FONT><BR><FONT size=3>Our favorite dancing gentleman from Baltimore will be joining us this week! <BR><BR></FONT><FONT size=3> <DIV dir=ltr>This week we will be doing a new dance, Madeira Coastline, to the beautiful tune, Ashoken Farewell, a waltz written by Jay Ungar. He's also the person who wrote the exciting contra tune, Wizzard's Walk. And he wrote Lover's Waltz. Catie Condran Geist called this dance at St. Cloud and everyone loved it. </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV dir=ltr>Here's Ashoken Farewell to listen to (our version will be a little faster to dance to) <A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN_ZKB_Hdbo">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN_ZKB_Hdbo</A> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV dir=ltr>And we will be repeating the dance you saw on you tube in last week's email, "Mary Kay", because everyone loved the driving dance to the great tune. To clarify Mary Kay--you are making boxes or squares with another couple--first with the couple you've been dancing with, then you progress and do one with that next couple. One's (below) start by taking hands and leading up, while the two's start by falling back.</DIV> <DIV dir=ltr></DIV></FONT> <DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=3></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=3>We're also planning the February 13 dance--Valentine's day!

That is really saying something.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Congratulations to all of you for hanging in there, dancers, teachers and organizers. It is not easy to learn to dance. Look at the number of people that drop out. You have accomplished something special, acquiring a unique skill to actively express yourself in our world that is mostly for spectators.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>When I moved to Gainesville, there were no community swing dances like that. The only social dancing was at Maria Alvarez' Imperial Dance Studio.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>My parents went to Maria's dance classes back in the day. I am not sure how long Maria has had her studio, but I guess a few decades.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>It takes a long time to train a new dancer. Looking around the room, a lot of the people there, me included, have come through Maria's studio. If not for Maria's years of devotion to teaching us social dancing, I doubt if we would have had a swing dance this week.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>I say devotion, because that is what it takes to do what Maria has done for all of us. All this time she has been teaching us to dance, she has had a full time job.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>We have social dancing in Gainesville, because Maria laid and maintained the foundation on which we now enjoy the benefits.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Thank her and give her some love.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><A href="http://www.gainesvilledance.com/Newsletters/Articles/tabid/79/Gainesville-Dance/305/It-Takes-Time-and-Devotion-to-Train-a-New-Dancer.aspx">www.gainesvilledance.com/Newsletters/Articles/tabid/79/Gainesville-Dance/305/It-Takes-Time-and-Devotion-to-Train-a-New-Dancer.aspx</A></DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>----------------------------------------------------------</DIV> <DIV>1.

Come out for a casual evening of tango that will be fun for everyone.</P> <P>Also Friday night, at the Boltin Center at 8 pm, Swing and Sway has their first dance of the year with the "electrifying" Mr. October.</P> <P>Saturday is Maria Alvarez' monthly ballroom dance at Imperial Dance Studio.</P> <P>Also Saturday night Tango Pavadita holds the first of their two monthly milonga's. Come early at 8 pm to help set up, enjoy the music and practice a little before the dancing starts at 9 pm, at 308 West.</P> <P>Sunday evening Swing dancing starts at 6 pm. At class we mentioned we would start at 7, but we are going to start at 6 after all. One price for the whole night and everyone is welcome for all the sessions. From 6 to 7 the emphasis will be on beginners. From 7 to 8:30 on more experienced.

You came from all over North Florida to support Gary and Judi. You showed that you are a community that cares.

Kay taught a Rumba class a couple of weeks ago and since then, some ladies have commented on my hip motion. I will not tell you what they said and I do not know if my hip motion is correct, but at least they are moving. If Kay can get my hips to move in only one class am sure she can help you do much more. Join her wonderful class. All levels welcome.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Saturday is the spectacular Gary Gammage Fundraiser West Coast Swing Workshop and Dance with Sabrina Paxmann hosted by Josh Angel. Private lessons are available with Sabrina. In the afternoon are two workshops, Cha Cha and West Coast Swing from 3 to 5:30. At 7:30 is the dance. Much of the proceeds go to support our dance community's beloved Judi and Gary Gammage.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Finish your weekend and start your week on Sunday evening, the fun way, with Swing and Hustle! Come out to 308 West from 6 to 7 pm for beginning swing, 7 to 8:30 for more experienced and 8:30 to 9:30 hustle. No partner needed.

Dan DeVoe was a disciplinarian who soon ran off Schintzius and Chapman.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>The Gators went from having the best year in school history to one of the worst.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>The best administrations are ones you never hear about.

I asked Jack, "What does it take to be a good coach?".</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Jack said, "Get the best players and make sure they show up for the game."</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Words Apple, Google and Microsoft live by.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>-----------------------------------------------------------</DIV> <DIV>1.

The Terrace Gallery has been opened since City Hall was dedicated in 1992. The Terrace Gallery was originally designed to be a lecture room but it was quickly noticed the space would be better utilized as an exhibition space for local, national, and international artist in efforts to reflect the cities dedication to local artists as well as providing a space where outside artists can share their vision with our community. The Mayor's 2nd and 3rd Floor Gallery is a beautiful circular gallery space on the 3rd floor of City Hall, which overlooks the 2nd floor landing and extends down two long hallways. This gallery space is dedicated to only local Orlando artists. The gallery at Harry P. Leu Gardens is located within the historic Harry P. Leu Gardens Garden House, where a visitor may peruse the halls of this historic landmark and find revolving exhibitions displaying fine art of botanical themes as well as permanent works owned by the city.<BR>Orlando City Hall Terrace Gallery<BR>400 S.

Wells was a prominent African-American physician in Orlando during the first half of the 20th century. He created the South Street Casino to host touring black bands and, since Orlando was rigorously segregated, he opened the Wells'Built Hotel next door to house the musicians. Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Ray Charles, Cab Calloway, Ivory Joe Hunter, and many other musical greats played the Casino and stayed at the hotel over the years. White Orlando didn't know what it was missing.<BR>The Casino is gone now, but the hotel remains. It has been converted into a modest museum housing memorabilia of Orlando's African-American community along with some African art on loan from local collectors.<BR>Dr. Well's home has been moved to the site of the Casino and will be restored and opened to the public.<BR>511 West South Street, Orlando 32801<BR>(407) 245-7535<BR>Just west of I-4 near Church Street</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"><A href="http://www.pastinc.org">www.pastinc.org</A></P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"><BR><STRONG>Winter Garden Heritage Museum</STRONG><BR>Displays of citrus labels,railroad memorabilia,community history and photographs. 1PM - 5PM Daily</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Free<BR>1 N.

UF Swing is on break.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Swing and Sway meets this Friday at the Boltin Center.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Maria Alvarez has her monthly dance on Saturday night.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Tango Pavadita has a milonga this and every Saturday night for the rest of December, including Christmas Eve and New Years.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Swing and Hustle is on Sundays. This week Swing 101-A is from 6 to 7. From 7 to 8:30 we are learning how to turn our Lindy and East Coast Swing into West Coast Swing, so we can dance at Josh's parties. Hustle is from 8:30 to 9:30.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>You are welcome to drop in on Sunday night and you do not need a partner. Class sizes have been small lately, so if you want personal attention, this is a great time to come. You can work on things particular to you. If you let me know you are coming, I can try to make sure we have a good gender balance. Otherwise, if it matters to you, bring someone of the opposite gender.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Richard's East Coast Swing classes are on Tuesdays in December.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Essie's last West Coast Swing class in December is next Wednesday December 14. Come out and support her. The following Wednesday December 21 Josh is holding a free West Coast Swing dance.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>I am looking into running a Swing dance later this month, possibly Thursday December 29 with a mix of East Coast, West Coast, Lindy. Alternatively, I may do a swing dance on January 1. If you think you could make it either of these, let me know. </DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New">+--------------------------------------+</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New">| DECEMBER REWARDS SPECIAL&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; |</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New">| FOR FREQUENT DANCERS&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; |</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New">| The More You Dance the More You Save |</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New">|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; |</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New">| To thank you for supporting dancing&nbsp; |</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New">| come to SWING AND HUSTLE on SUNDAYS&nbsp; | </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New">| at 308 West from 6 to 9:30 pm&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; |</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New">|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; |</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New">| During the prior week, pay for:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; |</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New">| 1 organized dance: Sunday is only $5 |</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New">| 2 organized dances: Sunday is Free&nbsp;&nbsp; |</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New">+--------------------------------------+</FONT></DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Happy Dancing,</DIV> <DIV>Andy</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>-----------------------------------------------------------</DIV> <DIV>In this Newsletter</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Article: You Make All the Difference</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Dance Schedule: confirm all programs before going</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>1.
