XESP previously accessed PhiTech technologies, processes, and support through a licensing agreement signed in October 2021. The agreement provided XESP with rights to use PhiTech technology and services for the eSports and eGaming markets, with the right of first refusal for other industries for additional fees. XESP now owns the technology.

“We are excited about this acquisition that further strengthens our capabilities and enhances shareholder and client value. Over the past two years, we had the opportunity to fully assess the capabilities of PhiTech’s technologies through our licensing agreement and to check their fit with the commercialization of our managed services and with our strategic plans,” said Thomas Spruce, XESP COO and sole director. “It quickly became apparent that the fit was a good one, and we then began to pursue bringing those assets into our company.”

XESP plans to expand business development planning and communications through channel partners and consultants and fully engage in efforts to create rapid expansion and adoption of its managed service product across multiple verticals. Through the company’s “Growth as a Service” offering, clients can focus on their brands, core product offerings, and content creation – while XESP manages the technology and outcome.

• National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”) signed into law on December 22, 2023
• NDAA includes quantum pilot program dedicated to near-term quantum computing applications, which D-Wave has already been developing, and calls for consideration of all quantum technologies (annealing, hybrid and gate model)
• Legislation promotes cultivating and strengthening relationships between the Department of Defense, academic institutions, small enterprises, and unconventional defense contractors

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, software, and services, commends U.S. policymakers for including a groundbreaking quantum pilot program, dedicated to near-term quantum computing applications, as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”) signed into law December 22, 2023 (https://ibn.fm/5teyZ).

The initiative establishes a program that primarily focuses on developing near-term applications to tackle complex computational problems faced by the Department of Defense (“DOD”), including those affecting the Armed Forces. Its core objective is to assess, evaluate, and implement quantum and quantum-hybrid applications that address pressing issues within our defense, military, and national security domains. The program aims to meet the imminent requirements of our warfighters, with an emphasis on the utilization of all types of quantum technologies, including annealing quantum computing and quantum-hybrid technologies offered by D-Wave.

This legislation promotes cultivating and strengthening relationships between the DOD, academic institutions, small enterprises, and defense contractors. This is a noteworthy development, given the significant quantum innovation originating from small enterprises like D-Wave.

The pilot program is geared towards creating and advancing demonstrations, proof of concepts (“POCs”), and pilot projects that leverage all viable quantum computing systems. This will enable the U.S. Department of Defense to harness the most advanced quantum technology to achieve its mission objectives. D-Wave has already developed a range of global demos, POCs, and applications for governments and businesses, successfully addressing optimization challenges. The technology required to collaborate with the U.S. government is readily available.

For example, commercially accessible annealing quantum computing solutions have been employed by SavantX at the Port of Los Angeles to optimize cargo pier operations, addressing critical global supply chain issues. More use cases are highlighted on D-Wave’s website (https://ibn.fm/0okpD).

D-Wave and its customers have created near-term applications and demonstrations for various defense and public sector scenarios, such as last-mile resupply during emergency responses for the Australian Army, carbon emission reduction, and optimizing tsunami evacuation routes in Japan. Applications have also been developed to mitigate potential threats, including missile interceptor assignments and radar scheduling applications.

Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave, expressed his appreciation for this pivotal step. “We applaud Congress and the Administration for taking this critical step to accelerate the use of quantum to provide solutions for critical challenges facing DOD and our military. This bipartisan action also moves us closer to other global leaders who have already begun to build applications that benefit national security,” Dr. Baratz said. “D-Wave and its customers have already built several quantum-hybrid applications that can provide important benefits for the military, and we look forward to working with the government to advance this new pilot program.”

This innovative program aligns seamlessly with other Congressional initiatives related to quantum technology, emphasizing developing near-term applications and including annealing, gate-model, and quantum-hybrid technologies. These initiatives are expected to progress further in various pieces of legislation in the upcoming year.

• Ucore, a company engaged in the exploration for and separation and scalable production of REEs in Canada and the US, is in the process of perfecting and ultimately commercializing the separation and purification of critical metals
• This is in a move to slash reliance on Chinese rare earths technologies and its toxic by-products
• The company has made incredible headway over the years and is on track to commercially separate U.S.-friendly sources of REES, using its RapidSX(TM) technology, by 2025
• The commissioning of its RapidSX Demonstration plant in Kingston, Ontario, earlier this year affirms its commitment to actualizing the goal of re-establishing a North American rare earths supply chain

Ucore Rare Metals (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF), a company engaged in the exploration for and separation and scalable production of rare earth elements (“REEs”) in Canada and the U.S., understands the current state of the rare earths market, currently dominated by China. As a nation that has spent 30 years mastering solvent extraction, China has gotten the upper hand in the industry, leaving the West playing catch up in what appears to be a challenging position for players therein. Ucore, however, is seen as being ahead of the game, through having developed a more efficient processing technology for extracting REE products (https://ibn.fm/g4S5L).

Through its RapidSX(TM) technology, the company is perfecting and ultimately commercializing the separation and purification of critical metals, a move that would slash reliance on Chinese rare earths technologies and its toxic by-products. More importantly, it would add to the commercial viability of Western rare earths, allowing companies in this region to charge premium prices for the strategic minerals, thereby boosting the economy and allowing for the growth of various industries while at it.

“Our goal is to re-establish a North American rare earths supply chain,” noted Michael Schrider, Ucore’s COO.

Recently, China announced controls on reporting exports for REEs used strategically for permanent magnets in computerized products. This is the latest in an ongoing trade war between China and the U.S., which only puts more pressure on Western countries and their independence from China-based supply chains (https://ibn.fm/1s2HH). With the country controlling 60% of mined REE resources globally, Western nations are under a lot of stress, with their only hope being enterprises such as Ucore refining their processes and cutting off this dependence on China.

Ucore has since made incredible headway over the years, made possible by the funding from the Pentagon. The company is on track to commercially separate friendly sources of REEs and supply OEMs with rare earth oxides (“REOs”) required to produce rare earth permanent magnets (“REPMs”) by 2025. This will help grow the electric vehicle industry, generators, and even computers, all in response to the global transition to electrification and sustainable energy sources.

“This entire sector as a whole needs to grow outside of China in order to support the energy transition,” noted Mike Crabtree, CEO of the Saskatchewan Research Council (“SRC”).

Earlier this year, the company began commissioning its RapidSX Demonstration plant in Kingston, Ontario, a facility designed to demonstrate the commercial capabilities of the technology platform. The plant, located in Ucore’s 5,000-square-foot RapidSX Commercialization and Demonstration Facility, will be integral in actualizing the company’s goal of re-establishing a North American rare earths supply chain. It also affirms the company’s commitment to creating shareholder value, all while stamping its position as a leader in its segment.

• The equity offering will look to raise up to $10 million in gross proceeds, which will be deployed towards the company’s real estate development efforts in the Hamptons
• The company has partnered with On Site Builder Construction, a long-standing and reputed Hamptons-based developer to construct and market turnkey residential properties
• The company will also be seeking to expand its technologically driven property management business across the Northeastern U.S. region

Mountain Top Properties (OTC: MTPP), a diversified real estate holding company focused around building, acquiring, marketing and operating assets through its wholly owned affiliates has recently announced that it has filed to conduct a Regulation A offering, which will seek to raise up to $10 million in gross proceeds, destined to be deployed in support of the company’s real estate development plans within the exclusive Hamptons real estate market. In addition, the company is planning to expand on its technologically driven property management business centered on the larger Northeastern U.S. region (https://ibn.fm/1htr9).

Through its Mountain Top Capital Fund I, Mountain Top Realty has sought to raise $75 million to build, acquire, renovate, and remarket homes in the Hamptons; thus far, the fund has already received debt capital commitments amounting to 70 percent of their anticipated real estate acquisition costs as well as a further 100 percent of the planned construction costs, a figure which the company will seek to complement with their upcoming equity raising exercise. Mountain Top Properties will subsequently look to deploy up to $10 million soon to leverage strategic waterfront or water view opportunities within the exclusive enclave offering a significant return on capital employed. In doing so, the company has partnered with On Site Builder Construction Co. Inc., as their design partner in their ambitious endeavor (https://ibn.fm/yRp8Z) which will seek to provide retail investors with access to an investment opportunity seldom available in the past.

Helmed by Joseph Kelley, On Site Builder Construction have gained a well-earnt reputation for designing and building some of the Hamptons’ highest quality over the past four decades, custom homes spanning a broad plethora of architectural styles – ranging from classic homes through to ultra-modern, glass-encased seaside mansions. Having built over 60 homes in the seaside retreat, Kelley and On-Site Builder Construction have the distinction of constructing and selling the Hampton’s most expensive properties in both, 2019 and 2022 – the latter at a remarkable $118,500,000 price point. Now and going forward, Mountain Top and On-Site Builder Construction’s partnership will seek to leverage upon Joseph Kelley and team’s reputation and technical know-how within the Hamptons real estate market to make the shift from one-off, customized homes through to the provision of finished, turnkey properties to prospective buyers.

Over the coming weeks, Mountain Top Properties will be expanding its traditional and social media marketing efforts to showcase some of the properties built by On Site, whilst simultaneously showcasing their ongoing developments on the island – all of which will be viewable on their newly developed website (www.Mountain-Top-Properties.com).

In addition to Mountain Top Properties’ real estate development efforts in Long Islands’ Hamptons region which are slated to commence in the Spring, the company expects to begin generating revenues from its property management activities in the first quarter of 2024.

• The U.S. cybersecurity market is anticipated to reach $79.37 billion during 2023, reaching $117.10 billion by 2028
• Vulnerabilities compromising millions of customers’ sensitive information have been exposed in major enterprises such as Comcast, Boeing, MGM, and Caesar’s Casino, in the wake of ransomware and other cybersecurity breaches
• Sekur’s suite of cybersecurity and internet security services makes it possible for businesses and individuals to communicate online safely without the threat of breaches and offer Swiss-based servers for maximum protection

Businesses nationwide are facing cybersecurity breaches that threaten the security of their customers’ personal information, often being recognized only after it’s too late. According to Mordor Intelligence, the cybersecurity market in the United States is expected to reach $79.37 billion during 2023. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.09%, reaching approximately $117.10 billion by 2028 (https://ibn.fm/NLtpQ). The report attributes this growth to the rising sophistication of cyberattacks – with the last decade seeing an escalation in the number and severity of attacks on enterprises, resulting in enormous financial and data losses.

Most recently, a vulnerability and breach was reported by Comcast, believed to have compromised sensitive information of approximately 36 million Xfinity customers (https://ibn.fm/xaSPw). The vulnerability, identified as a “CitrixBleed,” is found in Citrix networking devices, which are often used by big corporations and have been under mass exploitation by hackers since late August. Hackers used the CitrixBleed vulnerability to hack into big-name victims – including Comcast, Boeing, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and international law firm Allen & Overy. In October 2023, Citrix made available security patches to fix the vulnerability – however, some corporations did not patch in time to fight off the hacks.

• Diamond Lake Minerals is working to create a place for its tokenized industry-agnostic subsidiaries at the forefront of the growing digital asset market 
• During the past year, digital assets have once again enjoyed lofty returns reminiscent of early crypto years, but the attendant risks are driving innovation and interest in more secure tokens that represent specific off-chain assets or that mimic established stock exchange asset groups
• DLMI’s strategy recognizes that many investors are still uncertain about the digital asset frontier but may be intrigued by the possibilities of helping to lay the foundation of a potential new-built infrastructure for digital finance
• The company is building a portfolio of vertically integrated subsidiaries dedicated to traditional market regulatory compliance while creating a gateway to the digital asset sector with SEC-registered security token offering that are instilled in each subsidiary

During the past year, the digital markets experienced a new surge of “mind-blowing returns — and high risk – that historically have attracted a lot of traders to crypto” since the initial coin offering (“ICO”) boom of 2017-2018, CoinDesk reportedly recently (https://ibn.fm/FXs7o). But the crypto media outlet also noted that “in notoriously volatile digital-asset markets, there is exactly zero guarantee that any of these gains are deserved or enduring.”

Tokenized real world assets (“RWAs”) also saw significant investor appeal during the past year as part of an effort to keep the digital asset momentum going while countering some of the volatility of the crypto market by securing tokens to traditional stock market offerings.

“Once considered a novelty, the idea of connecting asset creators to sources of capital through blockchain has lost its uniqueness,” The Cryptonomist added (https://ibn.fm/dx7xc). “Initially, tokenized assets were in a regulatory gray area, but in 2023, regulatory authorities from various jurisdictions, including Singapore, the United Kingdom, Japan, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, and Luxembourg, provided guidance on tokenization.”

CoinDesk also noted that tokenized asset analysis platform RWA.xyz recently issued its forecast for 2024, predicting that even though tokenized assets are still in their infancy, assets uniquely enabled by blockchain technology “will prove to be attractive to investors seeking non-correlated and differentiated deal flow” during the coming year (https://ibn.fm/KUwAz).

Multi-strategy operating company Diamond Lake Minerals (OTC: DLMI) is focused on taking a place at the forefront of the growing tokenized securities momentum by creating a gateway for digital asset entry that appeals to skeptics and uncertain investors as they see new technology adoption create the foundation for what could eventually become an entirely new-built infrastructure for digital finance.

Diamond Lake Minerals is establishing the gateway by acquiring and creating industry-agnostic subsidiaries in a multitude of market sectors, then granting each an SEC-registered security token offering (“STO”) that will be part and parcel of the stock.

“We are solely focused on a regulated environment in digital securities and security tokens,” CEO Brian J. Esposito said during a Dec. 20 interview with financial media outlet Benzinga (https://ibn.fm/MAGlY). “As far as the wealth of the world that’s sitting on the sidelines that don’t understand things like crypto, they don’t understand the digital assets, they don’t understand NFTs — a lot of friction points: they don’t believe it’s real; they’re intimidated by downloading a digital wallet; putting in personal information. So what we’re doing is that hybrid approach.”

Regulated SEC security token exchange INX has partnered with Diamond Lake to provide the tokenized access. The INX Token was the first SEC-registered security token to land as an IPO on the blockchain, and its reliance on the checks and balances of traditional economic trading has granted it experience needed to help DLMI maintain the stability of its offerings.

“We’ll have media, we’ll have healthcare, … we’ll have the entertainment industry, we’ll have real estate opportunities,” Esposito said. “And (we’ll be) doing that in the correct fashion.”

• The company is optimistic that this move will help surpass the performance achieved in the first half of the 2023 financial year

Freight Technologies (NASDAQ: FRGT) (“Fr8Tech”), a tech company reforming cross-border shipping by offering carriers increased growth opportunities and providing shippers with enhanced flexibility, visibility, and simplicity, has announced the renewed selection of its Fr8App for Amazon Mexico’s domestic shipping within the USMCA region. This marks the second year that Amazon Mexico has contracted Fr8Tech, in what the CEO, Javier Selgas, has attributed to the company’s commitment to meeting customers’ needs and continuously improving its platform.

“Our commitment to meeting customers’ needs and our continuous platform improvements have led to this exciting opportunity,” noted Mr. Selgas (https://ibn.fm/lVfzD).

This announcement comes just months after Fr8Tech announced the securing of a Request for Quotation (“RFQ”) from a leading global pharmaceutical giant, for which it was awarded 33 lanes to transport pharmaceutical goods from the U.S. to both Mexico and Canada. The project would involve moving one to three loads daily per lane, allowing for the timely and secure delivery of vital pharmaceutical products (https://ibn.fm/15wxe). It also added to the company’s growing customer base, which comprises prominent enterprise entities such as Samsung, Whirlpool, Kimberly Clark, Beat Box, and other notable market leaders (https://ibn.fm/lDgPT).

Mr. Selgas noted that Amazon’s decision to go with Fr8App, particularly during this high-demand season, validated Fr8Tech’s capabilities, having proven over the course of a year, to be a reliable and efficient platform for B2B cross-border and domestic shipping.

“Amazon’s decision to choose Fr8App during their high-demand season validates our capabilities and positions us as the go-to logistics solution for B2B cross-border and domestic shipping within the USMCA region,” he noted.

“We’re excited to work for a prominent market leader like Amazon, and we’re confident in our ability to meet their stringent standards throughout the year as they continue to expand,” he concluded.

Over the first half of the 2023 financial year, Fr8Tech achieved a 93% year-over-year (“YOY”) margin increase, nearly double the previous year. It also secured $9.9 million in additional funding, a significant milestone for the company. Its management team is optimistic that this renewed contract with Amazon Mexico will help grow these numbers, all while bolstering the brand and stamping its position as a leader in its space, particularly in the 2024 financial year.

• SuperCom, a leading global provider of traditional and digital identity solutions, is proactively advancing its offender electronic monitoring (“EM”) solutions and services in response to growing societal challenges
• Since 1988, the company has refined its EM line, implementing RFID and GPS tracking technologies and offering both large and small-scale government solutions
• These solutions have been adopted by various government agencies in different countries, and have proven especially valuable in addressing the challenge of monitoring domestic violence offenders

SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a leading global provider of traditional and digital identity solutions, offering advanced safety, identification, and security products and solutions to governments, is on a proactive push for its offender electronic monitoring solutions and services. This is in response to the growing and changing needs of government agencies and private sector operators as a result of emerging societal challenges.

England, for instance, recently called for all General Practitioners (“GPs”) to transfer patients’ medical records to the National Health Service (“NHS”) app and other online portals. The growing concern is that these new procedures could “put domestic abuse victims in England at risk by allowing perpetrators to access their medical records” (https://ibn.fm/HJItB). Campaigners warn that “abusers could wield medical records to ramp up abuse as perpetrators routinely ‘weaponise’ information against their victims”.

Unanticipated changes such as this can clearly aggravate domestic disputes, increasing the potential for physical confrontation by previously convicted offenders. SuperCom offers government agencies a way to protect the victims of domestic abuse without the necessity of prolonged and expensive incarceration, through a tried and tested way of keeping offenders away from their victims with advanced electronic monitoring.

Since 1988, SuperCom has refined its offerings, yielding several offender monitoring solutions under its PureSecurity(TM) line, such as PureTrack(TM), PureCom(TM), PureTag(TM), PureProtect(TM), and PureBeacon(TM). These are in addition to its PureMonitor(TM) cloud-based software platform designed to deliver the information needed, when and where it is needed. Various governments worldwide have adopted these tried and tested solutions, affirming their overall effectiveness and efficiency (https://ibn.fm/08bKV).

Going into the new year, SuperCom, having already positioned itself as a leader in its space, is optimistic that governments worldwide will continue to acknowledge and adopt the benefits of electronic monitoring solutions. “At SuperCom, we are dedicated to not only achieving excellent outcomes but also building enduring relationships with governments across the globe,” noted Ordan Trabelsi, President and CEO of SuperCom (https://ibn.fm/qp07v).

• Pest management professionals nationwide are reporting a continuing climb in rodent responses, with 70 percent increase in northeastern states complaint calls during 2023
• Arizona-based SenesTech Inc. is reporting success in delivering a non-lethal rodent control alternative to poisons that adversely affect non-target animals and people
• SenesTech has already gained attention among consumers with its liquid formulation  birth control product that is more humane and effective for reducing rat populations
• Most importantly, the company recently introduced its Evolve(TM) Soft Bait non-liquid fertility product for the vast professional market that demands non-liquid products, and SenesTech is doubling its production as a result of this rapidly growing professional demand

Rodent pest management enterprise SenesTech (NASDAQ: SNES) is doubling the weekly production of its novel new solution for reducing rat populations with plans to soon double it again in order to keep pace with burgeoning demand, the Phoenix-based company announced in a news release this month.

SenesTech’s Evolve(TM) Soft Bait has seen “substantial initial orders” since its launch in November as a soft bait non-liquid alternative to its popular ContraPest(R) liquid formulation, both of which provide a decrease in the pest population by inducing birth control in rats instead of using poisonous agents that may be a danger to people or animals.

“Since offering my clients ContraPest, it has given them a sense of relief to a never-ending problem … too many rats,” New Hampshire-based pest management professional (“PMP”) Wendy Berry states in the news release (https://ibn.fm/PPfyP). “Clients have seen huge differences before and after the introduction of ContraPest. They also see how reducing the reproduction rate is a key component to success. With the effectiveness now well known, we have received contracts with a college, municipalities and other downtown areas. Adding Evolve will better meet the needs of my customers.”

The company reports that legislators and other officials in New England are searching for alternatives to traditional poisons known as second-generation anticoagulants (“SGARs”) in the region.

“In Massachusetts, joint bills (H.825 and S.487), which ban the use of SGARs from publicly owned properties such as elementary schools, have continued addressing secondary poisoning problems plaguing the region,” the news release adds — a response to news that three eagles have died of poisoning as the secondary result of SGAR use.

Pest Management Technology’s 2023 “State of the Rodent Control Market” reports that rodent activity continued to climb in 2023, with 60 percent of PMPs reporting increases in rodent infestations over the past year and another 38 percent stating infestations held steady.

“Rats and mice are truly on a tear in the Northeast, where 70 percent of PMPs reported increasing numbers,” the industry publication states (https://ibn.fm/PJZga), citing one PMP who has seen rodent-related service calls increase to year-round levels compared to a decade ago and spread to the suburbs over the past five or six years.

The publication also reported 65 percent of PMPs in western states reported rising rodent infestations, indicating the need for better rodent control exist nationwide and not only in one sector of the country. 

SenesTech’s Evolve(TM) Soft Bait has gained attention as the first and only soft bait product featuring technology that targets rodent populations by using non-lethal methods to restrict fertility, filling a growing consumer need with a novel approach.

“The reaction to the launch of Evolve has been enthusiastic and immediate. Within days of launch, we received pallet-sized orders for Evolve from a number of distributors,” SenesTech president and CEO Joel Fruendt stated. “Many of the initial orders are from customers with prior, successful experience with ContraPest(R), our first fertility control product, but who wanted a soft bait product. Evolve has similar efficacy to ContraPest, in a format that is easier to deploy, and at a price point comparable to alternatives such as poisons.”

ContraPest(R) and Evolve(TM) are the first, and still the only, rat contraceptives for restricting fertility in both male and female rats, according to the company.

Mountain Top Properties (OTC: MTPP) is a diversified real estate holding company that builds, acquires, sells, and operates assets through wholly owned subsidiaries and limited partnerships. The company specializes in property management, real estate redevelopment, and property technology, or PropTech.

PropTech is a rapidly growing field within real estate that leverages various technologies to optimize how people buy, sell, rent, manage, and research real estate investments. Companies leveraging PropTech aim to improve the property investment experience through applications that integrate artificial intelligence (“AI”), data analytics, and blockchain technology.

AI-enhanced applications used in real estate quickly analyze massive sets of data to generate aindividualized property listings based on client preferences and previous activity. Generative AI, a subset of the technology, uses algorithms to identify patterns and make connections that enable user agents – or chatbots – to respond to customer inquiries at any time, from any connected location.

Blockchain technology also transforms the real estate investment experience by increasing transparency, security, and efficiency across various property-related activities. Through a decentralized digital ledger, blockchain technology records transactions across a computer network to create a continuous, secure, and tamper-resistant chain. This enables property tokenization – a process that breaks up an asset into digital tokens representing the underlying property with all its rights and obligations. Smart contracts enabled by the technology can automate transactions, streamline property sales and lease agreements, and reduce the need for intermediaries.

Mountain Top Properties is leveraging the digital transformation of real estate by investing in HQXpress – a blockchain-enabled industrial and warehouse flex space company that services the warehousing, reverse logistics, and liquidation markets. The company also plans to add AI-powered technologies to automate and streamline purchasing, sales, and other real estate services.

Along with PropTech investments, MTPP diversifies its portfolio with additional activities that include traditional property management and real estate development. The company’s flagship subsidiary, Mountain Top Realty Inc., manages Mountain Top Capital Fund I LLC – a real estate fund focusing on residential redevelopment in the Hamptons, New York. The fund aims to raise $75 million for the acquisition, renovation, and repositioning of waterfront and water-view properties in the area.

The fund has already secured 70% of acquisition costs and 100% of construction expenses for the venture, with an additional $10 million to explore strategic waterfront opportunities in the region. Minimum returns of 20-30% are expected for each investment and will be realized upon the project’s sale.

Incorporated in 1990, Mountain Top Properties is based in Liverpool, New York, with offices in Sag Harbor, New York. The company focuses on traditional real estate activities while embracing digital innovation through investments in blockchain, AI, and other PropTech applications. With a diversified portfolio spanning property management, real estate development, and advanced technology applications, MTPP is positioned for steady growth on the ever-evolving real estate business landscape.
