    ‘Severance’ review: Season 2 is more than worth the wait

    It’s taken nearly three years for Severance to come back to us, yet somehow, it’s more relevant than ever. The series follows Mark Scout (Adam Scott), a widower who has his work-related memories surgically separated from his personal memories. Lumon Industries, which pioneered “severance,” promised Mark that the technology would make his life better — but as he and his severed colleagues discovered, the procedure is part of the conglomerate’s unsettling plan to consolidate their control over the global labor force. Now, the lauded Apple TV+ drama from creator Dan Erickson returns with a briskly paced sophomore season that refines its many themes into a timely, rewarding, and challenging debate about the power and parameters of personhood.

    The new season (premiering Jan. 17) opens five months after Mark and his Macrodata Refinement Department coworkers — Helly R. (Britt Lower), Dylan (Zach Cherry), and Irving (John Turturro) — alerted the world to the exploitation of severed workers, also known as “innies.” Lumon, following a recognizable corporate playbook, publicly promises vast “reforms” to the controversial program — including new incentives like “pineapple bobbing” and additional snacks in the company vending machines. Though suspicious of Lumon’s intentions and the daunting assurances of a “fresh start” from supervisor Mr. Milchick (Tramell Tillman), innie Mark willingly returns to MDR and resumes his search for Ms. Casey (Dichen Lachman) — the woman he now knows to be the presumed-dead wife of his outside self.

    Once back in the office, Mark encounters new faces, including severed-floor employees Mark W. (Bob Balaban) and Gwendolyn (Alia Shawkat); pre-pubescent deputy manager Ms. Huang (Sarah Bock); towering Lumon enforcer Mr. Drummond (Darri Ólafsson); and a stern, cowbell-wielding Lumonite named Lorne (Gwendoline Christie). But the true revelations come above ground, as the story devotes more time to the outies and their loved ones. Outie Mark, enraged that his former Lumon boss, Ms. Cobel (Patricia Arquette), masqueraded as his neighbor, reluctantly agrees to stay at the company until he and his sister, Devon (Jen Tullock), can figure out what’s really going on in that basement he disappears to eight hours every day. Dylan and his wife, Gretchen (Merritt Wever), work opposite schedules while raising their three kids, and Irving seeks to understand his innie’s connection to Burt (Christopher Walken), a former employee of Lumon’s Optics and Design department. In the wake of Helly’s role in the MDR revolt, Helena Eagan — daughter of Lumon CEO Jame Eagan (Michael Siberry) — does damage control with her ghastly father and engages in a power struggle with Ms. Cobel.

    The more we learn about the outies — and the more they learn about their innies — the harder it is to deny that Mark, Helly, Dylan, and Irv each comprise two distinct and worthy individuals. In season 2, Severance forces both its characters and its viewers to confront our ugly tendency to assess another’s worth based primarily on how that person’s needs and desires align with our own. Though they’re being exploited themselves, Mark and his fellow outies realize the dreadful power they possess over their other selves, who are just one resignation away from annihilation.

    That looming sense of trepidation is only strengthened by the nuanced performances of the series’ stellar leads. Scott manages subtle but identifiable differences — in voice, in cadence, in bearing — between Mark S., optimistic innie, and the grief-beaten man who spawned him. Cherry titrates Dylan’s outie with notes of resignation and resentment, and Turturro bolsters outside Irv — a lonely artist — with genial warmth. Nowhere is the dichotomy more evident than Helly/Helena, elegantly individuated by Lower. On the severed floor, Helly is thoughtful, wry, and compassionate, while Helena Eagan is calculating and inscrutable. Her chilly showdowns with Ms. Cobel — though brief — are some of the best scenes of the season. The new season also gives Tillman a welcome boost in screen time, as Mr. Milchick works to maintain his hold on the MDR department while facing unwelcome scrutiny from the imposing Mr. Drummond.

    Severance’s puzzle-box narrative spawned dozens of questions in its first season: What happened to Mark’s wife, Gemma? What does the microdata refinement department do, anyway? And what’s the deal with those baby goats? Fear not, (some of) those answers are forthcoming. One of the 10 episodes this season centers on Gemma/Ms. Casey, and another focuses on Harmony Cobel’s past and her shocking history with Lumon Industries. There are also some grand additions to the mythology of Kier Egan — Lumon’s enigmatic, prophet-like founder — and the company’s unsettling, somewhat infantilizing corporate culture. (“Marshmallows are for team players, Dylan.”)

    Once again, Jeremy Hindle’s impeccable production design is integral to Severance’s mood of retrofuturistic ennui. But it’s not always clear if the peculiarities of Lumon life are essential for the story or just another chance for a phenomenal visual flourish. Take that goat pasture revealed in the trailer: Are those grassy hills and dales rolling inside a fluorescent-lit square of Lumon office space a metaphor for how capitalism has consumed not just our daily lives but the planet itself? Or does it just look cool? Only Kier, or frequent Severance director Ben Stiller, know for sure. At least the goats’ purpose is made clear — or clearer, I should say — by the final episode.

    Of course, one very important mystery remains unsolved. “Why did you do this?” Mark howls at Ms. Cobel. “What the f— is this all about?” The season builds to a wrenching and suspenseful finale which reveals some of the specific logistics of Lumon’s plan — but the endgame is still frustratingly cryptic. That’s what season 3 is for, I suppose. And there is one constant that runs through all this maddening ambiguity, which gives Severance its beautiful, undeniable power: Even in the most punishing of environments, the human heart is undefeated.

  • Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster confirm romance with loved up dinner date

    Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster confirm romance with loved up dinner date

    Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster have confirmed they are an item!

    The former Music Man co-stars were spotted enjoying a relaxed dinner together in Santa Monica, California, on Monday, January 6, looking completely at ease in each other’s company.

    Hugh, 56, kept things effortlessly stylish in a dark jacket over a grey shirt, paired with crisp white jeans, while Sutton, 49, radiated elegance in a tan trench coat layered over an olive dress.

    Arriving hand in hand, the duo looked like they were thoroughly enjoying each other’s company, sharing laughter and conversation throughout the evening.

    The outing comes as both stars navigate major life changes. Hugh, who announced his split from Deborra-lee Furness in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage, appeared relaxed and upbeat as he stepped out with Sutton.

    The Broadway leading lady is also moving on from her own recent separation, having filed for divorce from husband Ted Griffin in October after a decade together.

    Their representatives have not commented on the sighting, but their bond has been undeniable ever since they shared the Broadway stage in the 2022 revival of The Music Man.

    Just days earlier, on January 4, Hugh was spotted at one of Sutton’s final performances in Once Upon a Mattress at Los Angeles’ Ahmanson Theatre, showing his support for his former co-star.

    He wasn’t the only Broadway legend in attendance — Carol Burnett, who famously played Sutton’s role in the original 1959 production, was also there, creating a special moment when she acknowledged the crowd with a kiss and a wave.

    Hugh and Sutton have both spoken glowingly about their time working together, and their admiration for each other runs deep. At the 2024 Drama Desk Awards, Sutton gushed about her Music Man co-star, calling him “one of the greatest guys ever” and “an incredible co-star.”

    Hugh, for his part, admitted to being in awe of her talent. During a joint appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2022, he shared, “This is a six-time Tony nominee, two-time winner. Like, I saw her do Thoroughly Modern Millie when you were like four years old. But I’ve watched everything she’s done. It’s amazing.”

    Their professional chemistry was undeniable, with Sutton adding, “The show is so joyful, and I’m having the time of my life playing opposite this guy.”

    Both actors are stepping into new chapters of their lives. Sutton filed for divorce from Ted, 54, a screenwriter, in New York County Supreme Court on October 22, marking the end of their decade-long marriage. Meanwhile, Hugh and Deborra-lee, 69, shared an emotional statement in September confirming their separation after nearly three decades together.

    “We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth,” they said at the time.

    They also reaffirmed their commitment to family, saying, “Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.”

  • Aubrey Plaza Addresses Sudden Death of Husband Jeff Baena

    Aubrey Plaza Addresses Sudden Death of Husband Jeff Baena

    Aubrey Plaza has broken her silence following the death of her husband, writer and director Jeff Baena. Three days after Baena was found dead in a Los Angeles residence at the age of 47, the actress addressed the “unimaginable tragedy” in a family statement provided to numerous outlets, including PEOPLE and Deadline, Monday.

    “This is an unimaginable tragedy,” Plaza and members of the Baena and Stern families. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.”

    Baena was found inside his California home Friday. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed authorities responded to a call near Baena’s residence that day and he was pronounced dead at the scene, officials told Fox News Digital. Baena’s cause of death was ruled suicide, according to a report by the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner. A full report from the medical examiner’s office will not be available until the case is closed.

    Amid her husband’s passing, Plaza did not attend Sunday night’s Golden Globes, where hse was scheduled to be a presenter. The Brutalist director Brady Corbet gave a heartfelt message to Plaza while during his acceptance speech, sharing, “Tonight my heart is with Aubrey Plaza and Jeff’s family.”

    Baena was an indie filmmaker who had more than a dozen directing and film credits to his name. He got his big break when he co-wrote I Heart Huckabees (2004) alongside director David O. Russell. The film was nominated for a Gotham Award for best feature. A decade later, he made his directorial debut by writing and directing Life After Beth, the 2014 zombie comedy that was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival and starred Plaza. At the time, he and Plaza had been dating for three years. They went on to quietly marry in 2021 and worked together on several projects, including The End of Love (2012), The Little Hours (2017), and Spin Me Round (2022), as well as the 2021 comedy series Cinema Toast, which aired on Showtime.

    Reflecting on working with Plaza in a 2022 interview with Reel Talker, Baena said, “She’s awesome. I would be working with her if she wasn’t my wife, but luckily she is.”

    He added, “Having that sort of shorthand and that sort of connection is amazing. The opportunities to create together and do something creative where we’re both fulfilled, how rare is that.”

    PlayStation Productions showed up big at CES 2025. We not only got new looks at the second season of The Last of Us and the Until Dawn film, both releasing this April, but got confirmation of some other new video game adaptations during a Sony press conference.

    The first adaptation to be shown off was Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, a new anime by Crunchyroll and Aniplex, which was confirmed during their segment of the show. Not much is known about the project, but we know it’s based on the multiplayer mode of Ghost of Tsushima, which is getting a sequel later this year in Ghost of Yotei. Head of PlayStation Productions Asad Qizilbash and President of Screen Gems Ashley Brucks then came on stage to reveal more. While speaking on stage, Qizilbash confirmed that PlayStation Productions is working on film adaptations of both Helldivers 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn.

    Sony Pictures will produce the Helldivers 2 film, while Columbia Pictures will produce the Horizon Zero Dawn one. Not much else about these projects was confirmed at this time, as they all seem to be fairly early in production. We also now have more details on the PlayStation Productions adaptations coming out very soon. First, Qizilbash and Brucks teased the film adaptation of Until Dawn before playing a video message recorded by Peter Stromare to hype up the film ahead of its theatrical release in April. A Lego Horizon Adventures music video was also showcased.

  • Sisters United: Battling Triple-Negative Breast Cancer and Spreading Awareness Together

    Sisters United: Battling Triple-Negative Breast Cancer and Spreading Awareness Together

    When Katie Cooper, 27, felt a ping-pong-ball-sized lump on her chest one September morning, she could hardly believe her instincts. “It felt hard and literally it sounds made up that it appeared overnight,” she recalls, her voice laced with disbelief. Living in Charlotte, North Carolina, she swiftly reached out to her doctor—concerned, yet with a glimmer of denial. What the tests revealed was a harsh reality: Katie had triple-negative breast cancer.

    This genetic battle became even more poignant when just two weeks later, her sister, Lyndsay Cooper, 32, received the same devastating diagnosis. Both sisters carry a BRCA1 mutation, a genetic anomaly that significantly heightens the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. This realization pushed them into a cycle of intensified medical surveillance—undergoing breast MRIs at an age most would view as premature.

    Lyndsay remembers her own encounter with fate—years earlier, eager to trace her roots, she took a 23andMe test. “When I was 25, I learned I had a BRCA1 mutation,” she says, underscoring the importance of genetic testing and monitoring. It was a wake-up call—one that turned proactive awareness into a pressing necessity. Upon Katie’s diagnosis, Lyndsay followed suit, noting the urgency of the situation; after all, the aggressive nature of triple-negative cancer waits for no one.

    “I was like, ‘There’s no way that my sister and I both have breast cancer at the same time,’” she reflects, battling disbelief. Yet, the system had other plans. Armed with knowledge but plagued with fear, both sisters faced the long, winding road of treatment.

    Katie’s lump, approximately 3 cm in size when discovered, was shockingly hard—she describes it as feeling “really solid.” Treatment began swiftly, the sisters coordinating their medical journeys like a synchronized relay team—texting each other updates, sharing insights on appointments, and leaning on one another for emotional support during the storm.

    “It’s been a weird bonding experience,” Lyndsay says, her voice tinged with melancholy and camaraderie. The sisters now find themselves in the trenches together, facing Stage 2 triple-negative breast cancer, a notably aggressive form of the disease that is more prevalent among younger women, particularly those of African descent or with BRCA mutations.

    As they embark on chemotherapy, paired with immunotherapy, they are also preparing for bilateral mastectomies—a decision that was initially preventative, now it is a necessity for treatment. “Doctors strongly advise getting a mastectomy so that the cancer doesn’t return, and it’s still not a 100% chance,” Lyndsay explains, the weight of medical jargon hanging heavily in the air.

    The sisters have already begun to grapple with the harsh side effects of treatment: hair loss, waves of nausea, fatigue that wraps around them like a heavy blanket. Yet, through it all, there’s a silver lining—a shared experience that allows them to bolster each other’s spirits.

    “Having her to just talk through things has helped,” Katie affirms, encapsulating the necessity of support in the face of adversity. Community is everything; it’s the lifeline that pulls them through.

    In a world where social media often amplifies physical appearances and the pursuit of perfection, Katie and Lyndsay are flipping the script. They’ve taken their story to TikTok, aiming to spread awareness about breast cancer while sharing their journey with others. “If we help one person do a self-exam and find something or help one person going through the same thing— that is my big goal,” Katie expresses with unwavering conviction.

    The sisters’ search for answers and connection doesn’t just end with them; they’ve invited their friends to feel their lumps, a raw and vulnerable act aimed at demystifying the experience of self-exams. “It was very hard,” says Katie, “We’re told as women to do your breast exams, but how do we know what we’re looking for?”

    Now empowered by their ordeal, they hope to create a wave of awareness—one that encourages open conversations about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. “As women, we can lean on each other,” Katie adds, generating a sense of unity amidst the chaos.

    The journey remains uncertain, but with the advancement in cancer treatment and a supportive network of family and friends, both sisters are determined to forge ahead, hand in hand. They are not just battling cancer—they’re spreading hope, inspiring others to be vigilant, and reminding us all that knowledge is indeed power.

  • Golden Globes Is ‘Pope-ular’ With 10 Million Viewers

    Golden Globes Is ‘Pope-ular’ With 10 Million Viewers

    The stage is set! Advertisers, don’t miss this cultural moment. ADWEEK House The Big Game is headed to New Orleans on February 7. RSVP.

    The 82nd annual Golden Globes ratings are in, and they’re Wickedly good.

    According to VideoAmp data, Sunday’s Golden Globes, which went up against NBC’s Sunday Night Football matchup of the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions, averaged 10.1 million viewers, which was on par with final numbers from 2024.

    The show’s live-streaming audience was up 9% year over year on Paramount+ and the CBS app. Plus, this year’s event drove 40 million social interactions on the night, making it the most social Golden Globes ever, up 124% year over year.

    The ratings figures were from VideoAmp due to Paramount’s ongoing contract dispute with Nielsen.

    In 2024, Nielsen’s figures for the first revamped version of the Golden Globes on CBS and Paramount+ initially showed a 9.4 million viewer average. The final numbers then put it at more than 10 million, up 50% from the previous year on NBC and the largest Globes audience in four years. The big ratings boost helped lead CBS to sign a five-year deal with the awards show.

    The 2024 ratings came despite the show being plagued by a poorly received opening monologue from host Jo Koy, who later said he “fell a little short.” Other issues included congested seating at the Beverly Hilton, which had winners struggling to make it to the stage, and the overall awkward production that even led to Elizabeth Debicki jumping in her seat following an audio glitch when her nomination was announced.

    However, 2025 was a different story.

    The show still had some snafus. For instance, while presenting an award, actor Seth Rogen called out the production’s awkward camera angles, which put the framing way up in the presenters’ faces. But host Nikki Glaser started the show with a widely praised monologue, making quips about Hollywood at what she called “Ozempic’s biggest night” and even parodying award-show musical sketches by calling herself out for doing a “Pope-ular” mashup of Conclave and Wicked.

    In terms of wins, The Brutalist, which had seven nominations, won for Best Motion Picture — Drama; its lead, Adrien Brody, won for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama; and its director, Brady Corbet, won Best Director — Motion Picture.

    Meanwhile, Emilia Pérez won four awards, including the prize for Best Motion Picture — Non-English Language. Plus, Shōgun took home all four awards it was nominated for, including Best Television Series — Drama.

    However, the biggest winner of the night may have been Demi Moore, who won Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy thanks to her work in The Substance. During her emotional speech, Moore noted that the award was the first acting accolade she’s had.

    “I’ve been doing this a long time — over 45 years,” she said. “This is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor.”

    In other words, the speech had substance. And Moore will look to continue that momentum on her way to the Oscars.

  • Facing Cancer Together: The Inspiring Journey of Sisters Katie and Lyndsay Cooper

    Facing Cancer Together: The Inspiring Journey of Sisters Katie and Lyndsay Cooper

    Katie and Lyndsay Cooper—two sisters whose lives took a sudden and life-altering turn—have found themselves on a shared journey that many would dread, yet they face it with a resilience that is awe-inspiring. Just weeks apart, both received heart-wrenching diagnoses of triple-negative breast cancer, spurred by a genetic mutation they inherited, the BRCA1 mutation, which significantly escalates their risk for developing breast and ovarian cancer. Their story is not just about a battle with cancer; it’s about awareness, advocacy, and the unbreakable bond between siblings caught in the storm of a life-threatening illness.,It all began when Katie, 27, felt an unusual lump—a ping-pong-ball-sized mass on her right breast—one seemingly planted overnight. “It felt hard and literally sounds made up that it appeared overnight,” Katie described when she first noticed the lump. After reaching out to her doctor and undergoing the necessary tests, the diagnosis came: triple-negative breast cancer—a particularly aggressive form of the disease that requires immediate and intensive treatment. Just two weeks later, Lyndsay, 32, would face the same brutal reality. “I was like, ‘There’s no way that my sister and I both have breast cancer at the same time,’” she recalled, disbelief washing over her when she, too, discovered a lump during a self-examination inspired by her sister’s shocking news.,While Katie’s lump measured around 3 cm at the time of her diagnosis, Lyndsay’s discovery reinforced the grim reality that cancer does not discriminate. Both sisters had been under the vigilant watch of healthcare professionals due to their genetic predisposition. “That’s what made us a lot more aware of checking for lumps and going to see the doctors more regularly than the average person would,” Lyndsay reflected on the importance of proactive health measures.,Despite undergoing regular screenings, both sisters were blindsided—their recent exams had revealed no abnormalities. “The appointment was with the nurse practitioner who had seen me three months prior, and she was like, ‘This definitely was not there three months ago,’” Katie recounted, illustrating the harrowing speed at which triple-negative breast cancer can grow.,Both diagnosed with Stage 2 triple-negative breast cancer, the sisters commenced their chemotherapy treatments together—a decision that would fortify their spirits as they faced a regimen that often brought fatigue, hair loss, and nausea. Yet through it all, they found solace in one another, sharing the experience that embodies both a challenge and a peculiar kind of bonding. “Having her to just talk through things has helped,” Katie expressed, highlighting how support systems can be a lifeline in the darkest of times.,Their story weaves through the complexities of genetic testing and familial health, culminating in a striking revelation that led them to further introspection. The sisters discovered that their sperm donor carried the BRCA mutation, and thus, their fight against cancer was not merely an individual battle but a shared legacy. “When all the DNA testing websites came out, we were very curious to see what we could find out,” Lyndsay explained, emphasizing how modern genetics can unearth family health narratives that were previously dormant.,Now, as both sisters prepare for bilateral mastectomies—initially intended as a precautionary measure—they navigate not just their surgeries but also a newfound mission. They aim to raise breast cancer awareness through social media platforms, particularly TikTok, leveraging their voices to encourage self-exams and early detection. “If we help one person do a self-exam and find something or help one person going through the same thing, that is my big goal,” Katie articulated, echoing the sentiments of someone who, despite adversity, seeks to uplift others.,The sisters are also determined to eradicate the stigma surrounding discussions about breast cancer—a taboo that often leaves many women in silence, uncertainty, and fear. “We’re told as women to do your breast exams, but how do we know what we’re looking for?” Katie asked, encapsulating the confusion that often accompanies breast health. This very essence of understanding is what they hope to impart to others, showing that open dialogue can be a powerful tool in combatting ignorance and fostering proactive health habits.,As they embark on this tumultuous journey, their shared experiences serve as a beacon of hope and a reminder of the potency of sisterhood in the face of adversity. They are living proof that while the odds may seem insurmountable, with unity, awareness, and a proactive approach to health, one can navigate the labyrinth of cancer with courage and tenacity. In the words of Lyndsay, “As women, we can lean on each other,” and in their case, they are doing just that—fighting side by side, armed with knowledge, love, and an indomitable spirit.

    Melissa McCarthy, who was a presenter at this year’s ceremony, arrived on the red carpet in a Christian Siriano jumpsuit. She was accompanied by her husband, actor and comedian Ben Falcone.

    Pamela Anderson ‘Almost Got Killed’ When She Was Mistaken for a Chick

    Pamela Anderson had a scary mid-flight encounter with a man who mistook her for one of The Chicks.

    Anderson, 57, shared the story on the Monday, January 6 episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast when host Josh Horowitz asked her which celebrity she’s been confused with.

    “This one time, I was on a flight and this guy came up to me and said, ‘Do you know what this country’s done for you?’” Anderson remembered. “And I was like, ‘Oh, my God. What have I done?’”

    Anderson went on to recall that the man glared at her from his seat and eventually tried to harm her.

    “This stewardess had to handcuff him to the chair because he was trying to attack me,” she said, explaining that “he thought I was a Dixie Chick. Remember that whole Dixie Chick thing? I almost got killed on a plane.”

    More than 20 years ago, The Chicks — formerly known as The Dixie Chicks — received major backlash after lead singer Natalie Maines took the stage at a London concert in 2003 and denounced President George W. Bush and the decision to invade Iraq. “Just so you know,” she said between songs, “We do not want this war, this violence, and we’re ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas.”

    Afterward, country music stations pulled the band’s music amid listener complaints and allegations of “Anti-American” rhetoric. (In 2006, Maines, 50, and bandmates Martie Maguire and Emily Robinson triumphed with the success of their seventh album, Taking the Long Way, which earned them five Grammys.)

    Anderson recalled on “Happy Sad Confused” that her run-in with the angry man had shaken her.

    “I was scared to fly after that, a little bit,” she said.

    The Baywatch icon, meanwhile, is enjoying a career comeback for her acclaimed role in the film The Last Showgirl. Anderson earned a 2025 Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, losing to Fernanda Torres. She hit the red carpet in style, however, eschewing full glam for minimal makeup — her signature.

    She has recently embraced a bare-faced look at glamorous events, first at Paris Fashion Week in 2023, and inspired others to do the same.

    “I’m makeup-free at home, so why not for Paris Fashion Week?” she told People that year, adding, “I didn’t expect anyone to notice, but I’m glad it sparked a positive message.”

    She emphasized her desire to break free from conventional beauty standards, saying, “It felt empowering to look in the mirror and say, ‘I’m OK just like this.’”
