I obtained 50 percent of correct answers. I learnt about energetic saving of CFLs in economic therms. This is a good way to attract attention from people because they can better understand why they need to use CFLs. I don't know this type of bulbs and how they works, sincerely, not even I've give me the time to search these bulbs when I go to the Homecenter with my mom.
I learnt that each degree your drop the thermostat during winter saves about 5 percent on your heating bill (National Geographic). I don't understand why and I like understand how it works because as I'm studing architecture and someday I would work in this topic, I'll be able to applicate this solution in my projects indirectly, thus, people won't need thermostats to keep their homes warm and we won't worry of this problem -at least in my works, haha-
Finally, I learnt that not only you can produce paper with trees, you can produce paper with hemp, panda excrement and sheepskin. However, the best option is hemp because is cleanest, requires less land acreage to grow that timber, has fewer chemical byproducts, and can be recycled more frequently than tree timber (National Geographic). I ask me why paper companies continues producing paper with trees, why not with hemp? Why they prefer to continue deforesting? Why not work in benefical change to environment?

Personal Opinion
''What is your opinion about having an exotic pet at home?''
In my opinion, this is a lack of respect for pet's natural lifestyle because, being out of it's natural environment, the pet live in a place where environmental conditios are diferent, therefore, exotic pets are left exposed to a range of microorganisms unknows to their inmune system and, if the owner ignores the pet's requirements to survive, the animal will die because a capricious human came him out of their natural habitat.
''What is your opinion about legalizing of marijuana and other drugs?''
Personally, I hate drugs, I hate their effects in human health, physical and psychologycally, but specially, I hate it smells. I'm disagree with legalizing of illicit drugs because teens will get better access to them and more people will be subject to become addicted. However, this could help to combat drug trafficking, but I'm not sure how, because this people will search another product to sell.
''What is your opinion about cloning?''
I shouldn't like to have a clon, hahaha. It's a difficult topic because cloning would be beneficial in medicine because people with cancer would have access to stem cells to heal them, but the clon is a new person, consequently, he/she have the same rights as normal human. In my opinion, cloning is an entablished that we ought to avoid because our planet, countries, cities and our lifestyle in general aren't designed to accomodate so many people.
''What is your opinion about the legalization of abortion in the 3 cases?
I'm agree because, if the fetus is unsustainable and the mother's life is in risk, she shouldn't continue with the fetus inside her body. With regard to the third case, I'm agree too because isn't easy accept that your baby is resulting from rape, besides, many children victims of violence led by mother were resulting from unintented pregnancies.

Postgraduate Studies
I'm a curious person, so study or learn a lot about just one topic becomes boring to me. If I decide to do postgraduate course or study another career, I'll study in Santiago for some time.
Some years later, when I finishes my studies and I'll have the money, I decided to go living in the south, specifically in Longaví. Since then, this idea has been my only future plan. If I decide to study more time, I'll have to choose distance learning, therefore, I would study since my future home in Longaví.
I would like to choose another career. Why? Because when I decide take the online course, I'll have learned a lot about architecture and urbanism. Some options that I think are Paleontology in Mexico (because it's a country by an experienced in this topic) or South Africa (because, in here, human life began), Biology or Ecology in Chile (because I'm interested into learn about chilean's living things and chilean ecosystems), Zoology (because, when I was a child, I wanted to study this) but I don't know where,

7 principles for building better cities
In summary, Peter Calthorpe says that the architects have to start to think how to design cities for three billion of pepole by the year 2050, because, if we don't have actions to design new cities, the solutions proposed for adaptate to the climatic change will be futile. We have to change our form of life: we live in cities designes for cars, but the streets are not be able to cope many vehicles, least for us. Our houses are stored as if they where a honeycomb, but this isn't all: our neighbourhoods are separated for a lot of towers, roads, railways, rivers, subways, economic situations, educational situations, among other ways. We have to make cities great places. How? Reducing carbon emissions transporting by bikes, designing growing smart cities with mixed-use environments, interacting with our neighboors, incorporating more green areas into urbanistic plan, working in community, living in community (all of us with other living things, remember that all the livin things are the environment).
Bringing the situation to Santiago, most of the problems present by Calthorpe occur in chilean capital city. People are separated by economic situation: rich people live since Forest Park to east, and the rest of Santiago divided into two ways: majority of people that live within iron belt are middle class, and majority of people that live outside iron belt are low class. Neighborhoods and urban planning are changing in accordance with economic class. In Las Condes, urban plant is similar to medieval plant and blocks are sinuous, height of the building is more or less homogeneous, there are many green areas, the roads are wide and clean, and there's greater access to environmental education (healthy organic food, recycling centers, among other elements). Santiago center urban plant is more organized than Las Condes urban plant because blocks has been traced in checkerboard, but height of the building is very diverse, there's less green areas, the width of streets is diverse and waste begins to appear on the streets, there are many commercial space. Estación Central urban plant is very disorganized in compared with two previous communes and blocks are very diverse, height of the building is diverse since the construction of vertical ghettos, there's only one big green area and the rest are spaces abandoned and covered with waste, the width of streets is diverse and very dirty and there's much crime.
Finally, I'm partly agree with Peter Calthorpe because, while bicycles are a good solution to fight with carbon emissions, I'm not clear about what we do with obsolete cars: where we are going to save the cars or their pieces, what will happen with waste.

My career
When I was in highschool, I wanted to study forensic medicine, or other medicine branch. But, in my 11th year, I had an emotional crisis. Everyday I asked me ''Did I really loved medicine?'', ''Did I chose well?'', among other questions. I doubted one year before to enter the university! Oh, no, my parents hated me! My questions and my conscience's rebukes was stressing me, I didn't know what career I loved.
In my last year in highschool, I spoke with my dad about houses, after a while I asked me ''and what do an architect exactly?'' I searched in Google, I don't remeber the website, I didn't understand nothing, haha. After this day, the idea of what is be an architect and what they do was turned around in my mind. Then, when I watched Construction's Pavillion in Chilevisión, I argued with TV because the buildings are so horrible, smalls, without green areas, and my mom when heard me argue alone, she aswered me ''you should be an architect and resolve these problems''. In these moment, I just stayed in silence, thinking in her words, in the posibility of study this career.
I watched City tour On tour all saturdays, I argued with new buildings in General Velásquez everyday since the bus, haha, I loved walk with my grandma in our neighbourhood. My friends said that I was crazy: ''my cousin studies architecture and sometimes he must stay to sleep in the university because he doesn't finish his works in his house'', ''teachers are monsters'', ''you'll have to make many models'', ''an architecture student don't sleep, you won't sleep well nevemore'', among other things that I don't remember.
Over and above the career, I must to think what university I'll choose. Well, I knew that I wouldn't like to study in Catholic University because I'm atheist. Some universities visited my school, but none interested me. One day, my classmates and me visited Usach, this university doesn't like because there are many dogs, and I'm afraid dogs. Other day, some classmates and me went to lecture about inmunology in Medicine's faculty of University of Chile. When we enter to university, I knew that I would like to study in here because I felt in home.
Then, it's time to apply for a career. I postulated architecture and arts, but my first priority are architecture. Why architecture? Well, architecture is a combination of arts and science, this career was around in my mind for one year, and I can save the environment since here, because, in Chile, nobody hear an environmentalist or byologist.

Great moments: My first concert
It was a Thursday September 14th, the last year. I was ill because I ate a Lays Maxx Ketchup in bad conditions the last Wednesday. I was drink Gatorade all the day because I needed to moisturized after this food intoxication. After Workshop, I had a date with my mom in Pedrero, then, we went to Monumental Stadium, we went Bon Jovi's concert.
Bon Jovi it's a 80's band formed in New Jersy in 1983 by the actual vocalist Jon Bon Jovi. They specialize in music genders such as pop rock, hard rock, melodic rock and glam metal. The actual members are Jon Bon Jovi, Tico Torres, David Bryan, Hugh McDonalld and Pill-X.
When we leaved the Metro station, we walked to the Stadium. We knew what are the path inmediately: many people were walking to the same place. When we got to the entrance of the Stadium, the security guards enablesed us with our Gatorades, this was great because both was ill, haha. Once inside, we choosed our seats, we talked about our day in the FAU or about mom's work, we laugh of gest band, they imitated other band styles. Then, lights turned off: the concert has began. My stomach contracted, people were screaming. The first song was This house is not for sale, this was the first time that I listened Bon Jovi new songs. We forgot our illness and we enjoyed the night as other people, but not all was pink colour: many people were smoking. Just these time, I wasn't angry, I forgot the situation and I concentrated to the show. After a while, started a song that weren't on the list: my favourite song Bed of Roses. This was the best moment of the night. I sang a lot of songs, I loved some new songs and, unfortunately for we, the concert finished at 11:00pm.
We leaft the Stadium and we took the bus to came home. The bus it was a long time to come to Baquedano. In here, we took a taxi. When we step inside, we note that the driver was listening Pamela Chu during all the way to the house. We came home at 2:00am.

A country that I would like to go
I would like to visit all countrysides around the world because I love grass, walk in the forest, discover abandoned places hiding into the forest, observe animals in their natural environment, smell flowers and other plants, among other activities. In short, countryside is my oasis.
In this case, I would like to visit Scotland. Why Scotland? Well, United Kingdom is a green island, that is to say, there are many green wilderness areas. I choose Scotland and not England because Scotland has less modern cities than England. I would like to visit more than one city. I'll start my travel in Inverness because the city it's located on the mouth of Loch Ness, and the architecture is principally ancient. I'll go walk in the city, searching squares, cemeteries, comfortable neighbourhoods, and other interesting places. In the evening, I'll stay at Premier Inn Inverness Centre River Ness tonight.
Tomorrow, I'll go to Glenfinnan by train and I'll visit monuments and, in afternoon, I'll sit on the rocks and I would like to watch the Loch Shiel for a while, in silence.
In evening, I'll go to Glencoe, a small village coposed of small houses only. In the evening, I'll walk in the village, watching houses, the stores and the people working inside; finally, I'll stay in Glencoe House tonight.
Tomorrow, I'll visit Trossachs Holiday Park to walk in the forest for a long time, then I'll go to Callander, other small village where architecture it's composed of small houses; I'll visit the Callander Cemetery for a while, and I'll stay in Roslin Cottage tonight.
Tomorrow, I'll go to Stirling to visit William Wallace Monument, the Old Stirling Bridge and some abbeys; then, I'll travel to Linlithgow to visit Preston Island, the Gray Buchanan Park and Avon Aqueduct; then, I'll stay at Thislte Dhu Bed and Breakfast tonight, in Edinburgh.
I'll travel to Melrose, a small village with small houses and big parks; I'll visit the Melrose and Dryburgh abbeys, and I'll stay in Melrose abbey cemetery for a long time, watching the graves.
Then, I'll travel to Glasgow Glasgow, a beautiful city where the architecture is made of modern constructions and victorian constructions. In afternoon, I'll visit Arkleston Cemetery; then I'll stay in Glynhill Hotel & Leisure Club, this is my last night in Scotland. Finally, I'll go to Glasgow Airport and I'll fly back to Chile.

My favourite music
I have listened many types of music throughout my life. When I was a child, I didn't lunch if my mother doesn't insert MTV channel, and I didn't sleep if she doesn't sangs me.
I'll organize my musical preferences in accordance with my growth. As all babys and young children, I listened children's music, but I also listened the music that listened my family: 70's, 80's , 90's and 2000's music, cumbia, classical music, movies music, among other styles, in fact, when I was 5 or 6 years old, I loved Madonna, Michael Jackson, Beethoven, 31 Minutes, The Fliying Cat, and some cartoon songs. Then, when I was 12 - 14 years old, my musical preferences suffred a radical change: I listened anime openings and endings (especially Naruto), Green Day, My Chemical Romance, AC/DC, Metallica and romantic music (yes, when I was 13 years old, I'm falled in love). During highschool, my musical preferences remained relatively equal, however I listened medieval and baroque music. When I was 16 - 18 years old, I rejoined to my musical repertoire my childhood's musical preferences: 70's, 80's and 90's music: A-ha, Queen, Metallica, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Roxette, Guns n Roses, Bon Jovi, among other bands or singers.
All these styles -except cumbia- likes me because they use REAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, the singer voices are very good, and, lf you ever noticed that, musical styles are all different from each other, I like listen to different sounds and musical scales.
Now, my musical repertoire remain the same -but with some variations-, but my favourite band is Bon Jovi. This is a 80's band formed in New Jersy in 1983 with the actual vocalist Jon Bon Jovi, the actually members are Jon Bon Jovi, Tico Torres, David Bryan, Hugh McDonalld and Pill-X, and their music genders are pop rock, hard rock, melodic rock and glam metal. I started to listen this band since my mother told me about their when we watched a chapter of My Name Is, when I was about 15-16 years old. I really love this band because they play the instruments with much feel and excellent, and Jon Bon jovi sings very very good, in the vídeos and in live envents. In fact, I went to one of their concerts the last September 14th, it was my first concert!! Wow, I loved this experience!

A subject I've enjoyed studying this semester
This semester has been confuse for me because the strike had a negative effect in my mind.
So, back to the topic, my favorite subject has been Classic Architecture's Culture. In this class, we hear a exposition and read books that speak about way of doing architecture in the past. The teacher speaks us about the life in Greece and Rome: culture, religion, political organization and how these topics are interrelated with Architecture and Urbanism. Then, he speak us how the renaissance intellectuals -especially artists-, in Architecture, recover the teaching of the Classic world through constructions and Architecture conventions that reinterpret mainly the Ten Books of Architecture by Vitruvio. In the period of the Protestant Reformation, Catholic Counter-Reformation creating a religious movement called Baroque, this movement is the opposite idea of the Renaissance because, in Architecture, is characterized by indoor and outdoor overdecorate, optical illusion, scenographic character, among other qualities. Actually, we have studying Neoclassic period, where the french monarchy financed Architecture's Academies that systematized Classical teachings in manuals of construction and other book types.
I like this subject because I feel that I'm really learning about the past of the architecture, the contents has helped me to know great architects, and the teacher explain very well, but he's a little slow when he state in the class.

An expert on your field
One of the architects I most admire is Andrea Palladio. He was born in November 30th, 1508 in Padua, Italy. His real name was Andrea Di Pietro della Gondola. His work started when he was a teenager: he became a rock cutter apprendice, then, he joined to the builders guild and he became an assistant in the Giacomo da Porlezza's workshop in Vicenza. This learning was a strategic opportunity that took his work to Gian Giorgio Trissino's attention. Palladio worked with Trissino in Villa Trissino's renovation in Cricoli. In 1531 to 1538, the young man of Padua learned the principles of Clasic Architecture when he worked in new additions from the villa.
In 1545, Trissino took Palladio to Rome with him, where Andrea studied symmetry and proportions of roman architecture. Giving back his knowledge to Vicenza, Palladio won a great commission to rebuilt Palazzo della Regione. Andrea died in August 19th, 1580 in Vicenza, Italy.
Palladio focused in design and build villas for rich people in north of Italy. Villas are country houses, His builds was designed to be in harmony and balanced with man and nature. His architectonic style was based in calm and order, ideas that read in De Architettura by Vitruvio, and their builds are characterized for has symmetric plans and elevations (facades). Some of these most famous builds are Capra Villa, Emo Villa and Godi Malinverdi Villa.
I like his work because he gives an atmosphere of calm with relatively simple forms in their projects; their villas, although being tall and solids, interacted with nature, generate an comfortable appearance; their proportions are so beautiful and the best of his projects is that majority of them are seated in the countryside.

Video games / Board games
I'll sart this post telling you that I love games: video games, online games, board games, phisycal games, all game types! I love play games because it's funny, their becoming interesting challenges, and you can develop your creative's ability.
I starterd to play computer games when I was 5-6 years old. Before I start, my sister and I watched my dad and my uncle while they played Doom, this is a single shooter game where you stay in a space station in Mars, you have to kill different type of monsters (zombies, spiders, skeletons, skulls, among other), discover secret accesses and pass levels; it's my favourite computer game. Then, my uncle brought a CD with 600 computer games, I played machine games but in my computer, some of these games are Tetris, Pinball, Banc Panic and BomJack. But when I was a child, I used to play with my animals and dinossaurs toys recreating animal migrations that I watched in Natgeo.
At school, my friends and me played the common physical games: hide and seek, ice and sun, rock, papper or scissors, stop here, hand games, play tag, the blind chicken, among others. In summer vacations in the countryside, my cousins, uncles, aunts, grandparents and me played chess, checkers, domino, cards games (solitaire, twenty one, Carioca, Raming, dirty butt, nervous, the thief, etc.), physical games in the river, Taca taca and The Sims. In my old house in Santiago, my couisns, my sister and me played physical games, pillows battle, and a game that my grandma invented: the arañón, in this game, my grandma was pursuing us around house to tickled us with here spider hand. In my actual house, my cousins and me played video games in my sister's birthday party or in my bithday party, we played Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3 or 4, and Mortal Kombat, this is my favourite video game. My neighbours, my sister and me run with the towers led by Galut, a naughty boy that taught me an my sister to play Rin Rin raja; we are a lot of childrens run with stairs while adults walked to open this doors. As a point of information, my sister and me taked the neighbour's rugs and changed to the next door.
Actually, I still play with my friends and cousins some of these games: hangman, bachillerato, card games, chess, charades, online games (Guitar Flash, Audition, Splix.io), never never (with water), The Sims and Slenderman Live, this is a cellphone game where you search clues of Slenderman leave in your world; when Slenderman find you, you have to run in real world, it's funny.
Since I start to study architecture, I haven't time to play games, but, when I can, I play online games (dressup games, Facebook games, Solitaire, minesweeper, mahjong) and board games with my friends in Santiago and my cousins in summer vacations. I must confess that I would like return to play physical games with my friends, although we are old, hahaha, and repare my Play Station 2 to play Mortal Kombat again.

My favourite TV show or serie
Generally, I don't watch TV much because I'm usually working in workshop, but, when I do, I usually search movies (horror, suspense, humor, drama or fantasy, generally old films), cartoons (Looney Tunes, old Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Boomerang, Cubox, Discovery Kids and Jetix programs), nature, science or history documentaries (13C, Natgeo, Animal Planet or History channel) and horror or humor programs (American Horror Story, Cantinfla, El Chavo del 8, El Chapulín Colorado, The Big Bang theory, How I met you mother, The Monsters, The Addams family). It's difficult to choose one because I like many programs, but I'll choose Courage the Cowardly Dog.
Why? Because, when I was a child, this program was my favourite cartoon serie and actually, remains the best serie that I've see. I loved the characters, specially monsters, the draw techniques, the sounds and voices, the constantly atmosphere of terror and suspense and how insolated was the house respect the town. I love the idea of horror cartoon for child that scared seriously and, in addition to being my favourite serie, It was the most scary too. The darkest chapter was King Ramses's Curse, specially when King Ramses appear in the yard reclaim his slab, it scared me because the drawing technique used to King Ramses contrasted with the technique that used for the rest of drawings, and adding the ambiental sounds and his voice, the image was very scary for a child.
Actually, there aren't many TV shows that caught my attention, but I would like to see horror anime series: Another, Corpse Party-Tortured souls, Elfen Lied, Ghost stories, Mononoke, Jigoku shoujo, Yami shibai, among others because I would like to see anime again.

My favourite piece of technology
My favourite piece of technology is camera. Fortunately, I have got a good camera! During my years of life, I had three cameras: a film camera, and aquatic camera, and the actually, a digital camera. The first two cameras I recived in different birthdays, and the third I recived in Christmas 2013.
I like this artefact because I love take pictures. I use my camera during all the year, and I take different types of photos: family photos, places, animals, persons, landscapes, special events all year round, among others.
Now, why I like take pictures? Well, I like take pictures because I like to take a physical register about my memories: the places that I visited, the persons that I saw, my experiences in the public transport, the funniest moments in the school, the sky (I have a lot of pictures that show the sky in different hours, days, seasons and years), some objects, draws, family photos, my cat (and other cats), another animals, my foots in different places, some photos of food (specifically cakes), among others. An other reason that I like take pictures is for the sensation that I feel when I'm behind the lens, you can see all the movements of people, but they can't see yours, not the same way. Is like if you entered in their lifes, in their thinks and feelings, is like if you are one of these persons, living the moment that you being capturing with the camera.
I don't imagine my life without take pictures, this hobbie has become and addiction. But, if I try to imagine me in these situation, I'll see me drawing all the time, trying to capture all that I see.

Why did I choose this career/study programme?
Since I was a child, I always loved the science, especially nature science. First, I wanted to be a mad scientist, I don't know the reason. Then, when I was in kinder, I wanted to be a zoologist because I have read a lot about animals and I watched a lot of TV programs about it. In elementary school, I was confused because I didn't know what to choose: archaeology or paleontology, in these moment, for me, both was similar.
With the passage of time, I was about to take high school. I didn't know what study in the future, this stressed me. During a conversation with my mom, I raised her this question. She asked me about my real interests, I answered: ''I like the science, draw, write and the criminal investigation'', she recommended me study forensic medicine. Since these moment, I started to read a lot about anatomy, death, parapsychology, and biology because I wanted to do the best job possible, not only in the scientific field, I wanted to treat the corpse and his family with the respect that they deserve. In my 11th year, I began to have a emotional crisis: I didn't want to go to the university, I was afraid to choose the wrong career, I started to ask me ''is medicine the correct career? Can I do it?''I started to think in other options: theory of music, visual arts, instrumental music, psychiatry and architecture, I searched a career that like a combination of art and science, that allow me save the environment and most importantly, that make me happy.
Finally, I chose architecture. Fortunately, I was accepted in Universidad de Chile, I chose this university because, since the first time that I visited the Medicine's Faculty, I felt at home. My first day in FAU was strange: I felt happy because I saw my partners for first time, but I was very nervous, I couldn't say any word. During the next months, I met my teachers and my classmates, they was, and they are, great persons. The gardens are beautiful, the classes are interesting, but the cigarettes and marijuana's smell are unpleasant, why nobody appreciates the clean air or the flowers smell?! So, when I finish my studies, I want to dedicate my career to save the environment: discuss with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and the Ministry of Public Works about new laws that protect our ecosystems, design environmental self-sustainable architecture, among other ideas.

My autobiography
I was born a friday night of September 4th, 1998 in Santiago, Chile. My mother told me that my family was concerned about my healt, because my brother David was born before me (1994), but he dead inmediatly. I grew in a house where lived many persons: my parents, my maternal grandparents and my three maternal uncles. They always were monitor me, I didn't move a finger without they were concerned for me. Hearing this, I begin to understand why I'm a paranoid person.
I've beautiful memories in this house: I always played in the garden with my animal and dinosaur's toys, I tried to copy the migrations rhat apear in Natgeo, Animal Planet and Discovery Channel, I loved watch these TV programs. In autumn, when my grandma watered here plants and sweep the flowers that fell of the Acacios, I threw myself upon the flowers and leaves, It was funny. I played many games with my little sister and my cousins, and my grandma always we had served dessert, generally, flan. In Christmas, my mum hid my cousins and my sister and me in our bedroom, here, I hear my grandpa's voice or my uncle Mauricio's voice, they trie to imite Santa Claus, hahaha.
I studied my elementary and highschool in Ascensión Nicol. Here, I knew my actually friends: Johana, Anyel, Francisca, Vinka, Macarena, Luna, Fernanda and Consuelo. Johana is my best friend, we have 14 years of friendship. I loved my teachers, specially music's teacher: Paolo, with him, I learnt all of I know about play musical instruments, I loved belong to Medieval Music's club. I learnt to play the piano, flute, metallophone and some of guitar, this club are the most important hobbie in my life. I must confess that the graduation was horrible: I was scared, I dont' leave the music's room, my parners, my teachers. I don't want to go to university because I don't want to start from scratch, meet new persons, make new friends, no! I'm shy, I don't like speak! Fortunately, my partners are great persons, creatives, funny, intelligents, and my teachers too. I must acknowledge that I was very fortunate to can be accepted in this university.

Practice Post
How safe is to give your personal information on websites such as facebook, my space and any others? What’s the limit for you?
In my opinion, your safe depends on the users that you add in your website. If you add many users, you'll run the risk of found bad people (harassers, murderers, violators, pedophiles, etc.). I don't say that you have to become a paranoid person, but you should be careful. For example, some tips that I use for accept or reject user's requests in my websites are, among others:
1. User name. You should able to recognize anyone belonging your know persons's circle. If you don't know the user name, search in her friends' list anyone that you know. If you can't find anyone, reject this request.
2. User's information. If you dont' recognize any of his datas, reject this request.
3. Profile. Search his interests, then, you'll obtain useful information about this user.
Personaly, I'm a paranoid person, jaja. When I can't recognize anyone know person, I become a cold and reluctant person, because I need to obtain information about this user for recognize him.
