His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

In some areas, the ratio is as high as five people per bed; no county has at least one full bed per person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are, however, some shelter beds — in churches for example — that aren’t counted in these official statistics because they don’t receive any money from the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot more beds became available in California during the pandemic \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homeless/2021/05/newsom-end-homelessness-pandemic-lessons/\">in hotel and motel rooms leased or bought by the state\u003c/a> at a record clip.

Another $2.2 billion over the next three years will go to create behavioral health facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Los Angeles, officials found that between the loss in warehouse-style shelter capacity brought on by COVID safety measures, and the gain mostly in motel rooms made available by the state, total shelter capacity in the city \u003ca href=\"https://www.lahsa.org/documents?id=5503-2021-hic-and-shelter-count-presentation\">didn’t vary significantly between 2020 and 2021.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates say achieving a one-to-one ratio on shelter beds for people shouldn’t be the ultimate goal. Running shelters can be very expensive, and while it treats the problem temporarily, it can be a dead end when there’s no permanent housing on the other side. The Los Angeles Housing Authority, for example, found it \u003ca href=\"https://www.lahsa.org/documents?id=5503-2021-hic-and-shelter-count-presentation\">needed more than triple\u003c/a> the existing permanent supportive housing supply to match demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides, many people say they don’t want to go into congregate shelters, where they often are not only \u003ca href=\"https://archive.kpcc.org/news/2018/05/09/82908/rats-roaches-bedbugs-mold-why-thousands-of-las-hom/\">exposed to substandard living conditions,\u003c/a> but potential assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you offer traumatized people to be in a huge shelter where there can be violence, where there can be no end in sight, where your things will get stolen, or could get stolen, that’s not really an offer,” Kushel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Brown’s camp by I-5, he said he and two other campers were offered a shelter bed, but turned it down. He suffers from a degenerative eye condition that blocks his peripheral vision, and said he had his belongings stolen multiple times at shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s in the budget for Caltrans?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget includes \u003ca href=\"https://www.ebudget.ca.gov/2021-22/pdf/Enacted/BudgetSummary/Transportation.pdf\">$1.1 billion for a project called Clean California,\u003c/a> with most of the money going to litter pickup and beautification. Newsom has said it will add \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-07-08/newsom-1-billion-statewide-cleanup-plan\">about 11,000 jobs over three years,\u003c/a> with at-risk youth and people who were formerly homeless or incarcerated getting priority. Caltrans is also using a small portion of the funding to clear homeless encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The situation with encampments in California is unacceptable,” Newsom said in a recent statement. “I refuse to accept the status quo — our fellow Californians suffering in tents, under highway overpasses, exposed to the elements, and living in unsanitary conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the economic summit, the governor said that his office had identified 100 encampments as top priorities and was working with Caltrans to clear them “in a thoughtful and strategic way” — a promise he has \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBWHkjlIsbk\">made multiple times.\u003c/a>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Gov.

It conducted just 19 encampment relocations in all of 2020, when federal health officials advised against them during the pandemic. This year, Caltrans has completed 347 through mid-October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked how the agency deals with the shortage of shelter and housing units, Caltrans officials said they “coordinate with cities and social service providers, which can connect people experiencing homelessness with services. However, on high priority encampments where an immediate threat to safety or to essential infrastructure has been identified, the department must proceed with the encampment clearing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, there’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2021/10/29/california-launches-encampment-resolution-grant-program/\">$50 million in new grants\u003c/a> to help local governments deal with encampments.

But they’ve moved into the fringes because of law enforcement harassment, often brought on by calls to service made by their housed neighbors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The answer is simple,” she said. “Stop criminalizing people.”[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Josh Barocas, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Colorado']‘It’s what I would call social theater.It’s showing your neighborhood that you are trying to do something by literally sweeping the problem away.’[/pullquote]In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclusocal.org/sites/default/files/outsidethelaw-aclufdnsca-report.pdf\">recent report,\u003c/a> Garrow and her colleagues argue housing status should be a protected social group, a policy Martin’s group and the Western Center on Law and Poverty hope to advance in the Legislature’s next session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Seeking stable shelter\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, who is 42, said he had worked with several county health workers to get on the waitlist for a permanent housing voucher, but all of them had since quit. “It just seems like nobody can even give me an answer as to why it’s not moving forward,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The voucher would subsidize Brown’s housing so he has to spend only a third of his disability check on rent.

He also wants a cure for his vision; he learned about a clinical trial when he was living in the camp, but said it was very difficult for him to consider the option if he had to take medication, as it would likely get stolen.

They came across more than 161,000 people, in and out of shelters.

In some areas, the ratio is as high as five people per bed; no county has at least one full bed per person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are, however, some shelter beds — in churches for example — that aren’t counted in these official statistics because they don’t receive any money from the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot more beds became available in California during the pandemic \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homeless/2021/05/newsom-end-homelessness-pandemic-lessons/\">in hotel and motel rooms leased or bought by the state\u003c/a> at a record clip. Project Roomkey has provided temporary shelter to \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/04/main-recoverylab-cities-la-sros-518602?utm_source=pocket_mylist\">more than 48,000 people\u003c/a> during the pandemic, and Project Homekey temporarily sheltered thousands more across 94 hotels that created about 6,000 permanent housing units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funding for the latter program was tripled in the most recent budget, from $846 million to $2.75 billion. Another $2.2 billion over the next three years will go to create behavioral health facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Los Angeles, officials found that between the loss in warehouse-style shelter capacity brought on by COVID safety measures, and the gain mostly in motel rooms made available by the state, total shelter capacity in the city \u003ca href=\"https://www.lahsa.org/documents?id=5503-2021-hic-and-shelter-count-presentation\">didn’t vary significantly between 2020 and 2021.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates say achieving a one-to-one ratio on shelter beds for people shouldn’t be the ultimate goal. Running shelters can be very expensive, and while it treats the problem temporarily, it can be a dead end when there’s no permanent housing on the other side. The Los Angeles Housing Authority, for example, found it \u003ca href=\"https://www.lahsa.org/documents?id=5503-2021-hic-and-shelter-count-presentation\">needed more than triple\u003c/a> the existing permanent supportive housing supply to match demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides, many people say they don’t want to go into congregate shelters, where they often are not only \u003ca href=\"https://archive.kpcc.org/news/2018/05/09/82908/rats-roaches-bedbugs-mold-why-thousands-of-las-hom/\">exposed to substandard living conditions,\u003c/a> but potential assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you offer traumatized people to be in a huge shelter where there can be violence, where there can be no end in sight, where your things will get stolen, or could get stolen, that’s not really an offer,” Kushel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Brown’s camp by I-5, he said he and two other campers were offered a shelter bed, but turned it down. He suffers from a degenerative eye condition that blocks his peripheral vision, and said he had his belongings stolen multiple times at shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s in the budget for Caltrans?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget includes \u003ca href=\"https://www.ebudget.ca.gov/2021-22/pdf/Enacted/BudgetSummary/Transportation.pdf\">$1.1 billion for a project called Clean California,\u003c/a> with most of the money going to litter pickup and beautification. Newsom has said it will add \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-07-08/newsom-1-billion-statewide-cleanup-plan\">about 11,000 jobs over three years,\u003c/a> with at-risk youth and people who were formerly homeless or incarcerated getting priority. Caltrans is also using a small portion of the funding to clear homeless encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The situation with encampments in California is unacceptable,” Newsom said in a recent statement. “I refuse to accept the status quo — our fellow Californians suffering in tents, under highway overpasses, exposed to the elements, and living in unsanitary conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the economic summit, the governor said that his office had identified 100 encampments as top priorities and was working with Caltrans to clear them “in a thoughtful and strategic way” — a promise he has \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBWHkjlIsbk\">made multiple times.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Both declined multiple requests for phone interviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin said the apparent lack of coordination between the programs was “a little concerning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s state auditor in February \u003ca href=\"https://www.auditor.ca.gov/reports/2020-112/index.html\">raised concerns about a lack of coordination\u003c/a> between the multiple agencies dealing with homelessness in California: “At least nine state agencies administer and oversee 41 different programs that provide funding to mitigate homelessness, yet no single entity oversees the State’s efforts or is responsible for developing a statewide strategic plan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new programs raise a bigger question for Josh Barocas, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Colorado who studies homelessness and substance use: Why is transportation money going toward clearing homeless camps?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t actually take into account the long-term health effects of those being displaced and doing the displacement, and their future needs,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through a computer modeling study that did not undergo peer review, Barocas found that in Boston, disbanding a homeless camp was more likely to drive up overdoses, hospitalizations and mortality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s what I would call social theater,” he said. “It’s showing your neighborhood that you are trying to do something by literally sweeping the problem away….The only way to actually fix this problem is to get at the social and structural issues that are perpetuating poverty, perpetuating homelessness in the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Barocas doesn’t believe in clearing encampments, he said there is value in continued community outreach, even when the housing isn’t there yet. “Bringing resources to where people are, and literally meeting them where they’re at, never loses utility,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eve Garrow, a homelessness policy analyst and advocate at the ACLU of Southern California, said many of the people now camping alongside California’s highways were originally in safer spots such as parks with restrooms. But they’ve moved into the fringes because of law enforcement harassment, often brought on by calls to service made by their housed neighbors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The answer is simple,” she said. “Stop criminalizing people.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The city, known for its relative tolerance of illicit drug use, was a trailblazer of clean syringe access and distribution of life-saving naloxone kits, as well as boosting access to the treatment drugs methadone and buprenorphine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when fentanyl hit hard here starting a few years ago, the overdose crisis spiraled and the city was forced to rethink its approach. Free Narcan and syringes weren’t enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If fentanyl is in the drugs that you’re using, your risk of overdose triples,” Capt. Mason says, adding that the drug is now tainting most every street narcotic here: meth, cocaine, heroin and fake opioid pills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11895039\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1228px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11895039 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/NPR-fentanyl-3.jpg\" alt=\"A person knocks on the front door of an apartment on the second, outdoor floor of a multistory building.\" width=\"1228\" height=\"920\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/NPR-fentanyl-3.jpg 1228w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/NPR-fentanyl-3-800x599.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/NPR-fentanyl-3-1020x764.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/NPR-fentanyl-3-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1228px) 100vw, 1228px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco Department of Public Health nurses with the city’s new mobile outreach teams say following up with people who’ve recently survived a drug overdose is a key part of the program. \u003ccite>(Rachel Bujalski for NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Surviving an overdose\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Pandemic isolation and lockdowns — people using alone with no one to administer life-saving Narcan — only partially explain the historic rise in overdose deaths here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/resource/2020/ocme-accidental-overdose-reports\">drug death rate, in fact, had been trending higher\u003c/a> well before that, city medical examiner data show. In mid-2018 the numbers began to skyrocket, reaching 441 deaths in 2019. And in 2020, \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/data/covid-19-cases-and-deaths#total-cases-and-deaths\">a whopping 712 people fatally overdosed\u003c/a>, more than double the number of people here who died from COVID-19 during that same period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of those deaths — almost three-quarters —involved fentanyl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The death toll would have been even higher if not for \u003ca href=\"https://harmreduction.org/our-work/action/dope-project-san-francisco/\">the wide availability of Narcan here\u003c/a>. Well over 3,000 people said they used Narcan in the city in 2020, a self-reported figure. Officials say the real figure is probably far higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But health and fire department officials here, Mason says, noticed something else important: Almost half of all who died of an overdose were treated or revived by a paramedic crew in the days or weeks before their deaths, a big signal they were headed for repeat trouble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Surviving a nonfatal overdose is one of the best predictors of future mortality. Anyone who survives a nonfatal overdose is a huge red flag for us, and that is what this program is about,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A key goal is trying to bring the clinic to the patients: rapid, face-to-face follow-up outreach on the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We go out, we look for them, we say, ‘Hey, let’s talk about yesterday,'” says city health department nurse practitioner Kevin Lagor, as he drives through the Tenderloin neighborhood, where many of his clients live. He’s a program lead with SORT’s outreach arm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal is to reach back out within 24 to 72 hours of an overdose to try to assist the person with everything from housing to treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That could be providing medical care to address their mental illness. Maybe they’re out of their meds, or maybe they want to start something to address their substance use disorder,” he says. “Just kind of, basically, meeting them where they are and seeing what they need and how we can help them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to meet them where they are, the nurse teams first have to find them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a huge challenge. Many of them are unhoused, living in tents on the street or in and out of shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overdose and substance use disorder crisis is directly linked to the city’s epic struggles with homelessness and related challenges including mental illness. Almost 30% of all overdose deaths here are among people experiencing homelessness or people “with no fixed address.” \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/10/19/924146486/removing-cops-from-behavioral-crisis-calls-we-need-to-change-the-model\">SORT collaborates closely with the city’s other programs\u003c/a>, including street medicine and new mental health and homeless street crisis response units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11895030\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1224px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11895030 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/NPR-fentanyl-5.jpg\" alt=\"A person stands in the middle of a crosswalk looking up the street and at a row of tents on each sidewalk.\" width=\"1224\" height=\"918\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/NPR-fentanyl-5.jpg 1224w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/NPR-fentanyl-5-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/NPR-fentanyl-5-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/NPR-fentanyl-5-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1224px) 100vw, 1224px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People live in tents that line a side street in the Tenderloin District.

I like it,” says Ciccarone, a professor of medicine at UC San Francisco and a leading expert on drug use, people who use drugs and heroin. “We need to bring in some innovations here because fentanyl is a wild card and it has caught us all by surprise. That’s what we need to do in a crisis situation: Think creatively.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Ciccarone cautions that the ravages of fentanyl and its complex stew of related challenges mean the city needs to scale up this new street overdose response program and continue to try to break down obstacles to treatment that include bureaucratic silos, turf battles and funding woes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s definitely not enough,” he says. “We have to make sure that harm reduction is adequately funded, that our mental health system, our substance treatment system, our housing systems are adequately funded.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, just two months since the program’s launch, 10% of those encountered by the SORT teams who’ve overdosed are now getting medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. That includes buprenorphine or suboxone in collaboration with city’s street medicine nurses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m proud of that number,” Capt. Mason says, “and I very much look forward to increasing that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get that number even higher, the fire department has applied to the state EMS agency to allow paramedics to more easily administer and prescribe those treatment drugs directly in the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite a recent slight drop in monthly fatalities the city looks to end 2021 with \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/sites/default/files/2021-10/2021%2010_OCME%20Overdose%20Report.pdf\">more than 700 overdose deaths for the second year in a row.\u003c/a> Unfortunately, Kunins, the city’s director of behavioral health services, says San Francisco is “on track to continue this really tragic loss of life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11895040\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1224px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11895040 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/NPR-fentanyl-8.jpg\" alt=\"A uniformed man in black pants, black boots, and a white short-sleeved shirt with a red-and-yellow insignia sewn on the sleeve opens the back door of an ambulance parked in the middle of a street.\" width=\"1224\" height=\"918\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/NPR-fentanyl-8.jpg 1224w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/NPR-fentanyl-8-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/NPR-fentanyl-8-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/NPR-fentanyl-8-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1224px) 100vw, 1224px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fire Department Capt.

In mid-2018 the numbers began to skyrocket, reaching 441 deaths in 2019. And in 2020, \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/data/covid-19-cases-and-deaths#total-cases-and-deaths\">a whopping 712 people fatally overdosed\u003c/a>, more than double the number of people here who died from COVID-19 during that same period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of those deaths — almost three-quarters —involved fentanyl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The death toll would have been even higher if not for \u003ca href=\"https://harmreduction.org/our-work/action/dope-project-san-francisco/\">the wide availability of Narcan here\u003c/a>. Well over 3,000 people said they used Narcan in the city in 2020, a self-reported figure. Officials say the real figure is probably far higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But health and fire department officials here, Mason says, noticed something else important: Almost half of all who died of an overdose were treated or revived by a paramedic crew in the days or weeks before their deaths, a big signal they were headed for repeat trouble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Surviving a nonfatal overdose is one of the best predictors of future mortality. Anyone who survives a nonfatal overdose is a huge red flag for us, and that is what this program is about,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A key goal is trying to bring the clinic to the patients: rapid, face-to-face follow-up outreach on the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We go out, we look for them, we say, ‘Hey, let’s talk about yesterday,'” says city health department nurse practitioner Kevin Lagor, as he drives through the Tenderloin neighborhood, where many of his clients live. He’s a program lead with SORT’s outreach arm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal is to reach back out within 24 to 72 hours of an overdose to try to assist the person with everything from housing to treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That could be providing medical care to address their mental illness. Maybe they’re out of their meds, or maybe they want to start something to address their substance use disorder,” he says. “Just kind of, basically, meeting them where they are and seeing what they need and how we can help them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to meet them where they are, the nurse teams first have to find them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a huge challenge.

That’s what we need to do in a crisis situation: Think creatively.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Ciccarone cautions that the ravages of fentanyl and its complex stew of related challenges mean the city needs to scale up this new street overdose response program and continue to try to break down obstacles to treatment that include bureaucratic silos, turf battles and funding woes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s definitely not enough,” he says. “We have to make sure that harm reduction is adequately funded, that our mental health system, our substance treatment system, our housing systems are adequately funded.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, just two months since the program’s launch, 10% of those encountered by the SORT teams who’ve overdosed are now getting medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder.
