Levi’s more or less invented blue jeans as we know them and has stood as the industry standard for the past century. No symbol is more associated with stylish denim than the little red tab.

The San Franciscan denim distributor is not only a titanic cultural force but also dominates the market with more fits and fades than any competitor.

Levi’s releases an avalanche of indigo annually, which can be bought directly from the brand or through a litany of wholesale retailers. None of those third-party distributors offers a better deal on the king of American denim than Amazon during Prime Day.

Prime Day 2025 is stocked with Black Friday-busting deals on the best men’s jeans, ranging from the OG, always appropriate 100% cotton 501s, to the slouchy and stretchy 541s.

I even threw some denim jackets in the mix cause I just couldn’t help myself with these deals.

Levi’s 501 Jeans

It’s not the original Levi’s design, but it is by far the most influential. The designation dates back to 1890 and has gone through various iterations, but the current cut matches the overall consensus on how jeans ought to fit: a bit loose in the hip with a slight taper from the knee to the ankle. Two defining characteristics of the modern 501 are that it has to be 100% cotton and has to have a rivet fly.

Levi’s 514 Straight Stretch

The 514 is a modernized version of the 501. It has a slim-ish fit, with a slightly loose hip and a bit of a taper from the knee down. The two models even have the same leg opening width. However, the 514 has a dash of Elastane in the fabric for some stretch, a slightly lower rise (i.e., sits lower on the hip) and a zipper fly.

Levi’s 517 Boot Cut

Western style has never really gone out of fashion, but in 2025, it is as prevalent as ever in menswear. You don’t have to rock a cowboy hat and snap-button shirt to pull off boot-cut jeans. They are a great middle ground for a looser-fitting silhouette that isn’t baggy (i.e., sloppy) in the waist and hip. It even looks great with a blazer—just ask Ralph Lauren and Robert Redford.

Levi’s 511 Slim Stretch in Natural

If you’re going to stray from blue when buying a pair of jeans, “natural” is the way to go. It is the perfect color for summer, but it works year-round. The tawny off-white goes by various names from brand to brand, but it is most frequently referred to as “natural” because it resembles the color of undyed cotton denim. You can wear this color with anything, making it just as useful as a pair of blue jeans.

Levi’s 505 Regular Fit

Levi’s calls the 505 “Regular Fit,” which is both unhelpful and kind of a perfect description of how it fits. It is a bit looser than the 501 and straight all the way through, not baggy, but in no way form-fitting. You can think of the 505 as the stereotypical “Dad Jeans,” but that’s a look nowadays.

Specs

Levi’s 511 Slim Fit Jeans

You can think of the 511 as the “Millennial Fit,” with a snug hip that has a slight taper all the way down to a hem that rests on top of your shoes. A quick styling tip: you typically will want to go with a shorter inseam on a slim fit jean vs. a loose fit because of how the leg’s opening rests over shoes. A slim fit will bunch up more if it is the same length as a looser fit.

Levi’s 541 Athletic Stretch

The fashion industry’s new preferred term for loose fit is “athletic.” The 541 is ideal for gentlemen with full hips and thighs who want to have some shape to their jeans and not be swimming in fabric. It also offers some stretch for a little extra give.

Levi’s Type III Trucker Jacket

The Type III Trucker Jacket, arguably the most iconic outerwear ever produced by America, is so tightly associated with Levi’s that the term Type III comes from how the brand denoted the generations of its denim work jacket. From truckers to rock stars, everyone looks good in one of these. Just go with a 100% cotton version so it will last longer and age better.

Levi’s Denim Harrington Jacket

The Harrington jacket is one of the most versatile and stylish pieces of lightweight outerwear ever invented, second only to the trucker jacket. Making one from denim further magnifies both of those attributes. You don’t often see a denim Harrington jacket, but Levi’s is the best place to get one.

Nike’s Futuristic Performance Sneakers Are Some of Its Most Intriguing Yet

That pairs with a unique sneaker shape, marked by a wide forefoot and heel, to increase overall stability and power generation. An interior bootie with a padded heel lock system is installed to ensure stability and safety further.

That’s all housed within a low-top silhouette with a sculpted, seamless design. It’s so minimalist, there aren’t even any visible laces. Even the instep vents are cleverly blended into the shoe’s curtain-like sidewalls.

More than footwear

While Nike has always been a sportswear brand, this shoe demonstrates its commitment to basketball, one of the sports that helped raise Nike to legitimacy and keep the sneaker brand in the game. In fact, it was debuted by Nike NIL athlete AJ Dybantsa and rapper Wale during the NBA All-Star Weekend.

But picking the right venue to show off this innovation is a number of steps down the line. The shoe started long before its debut, with the input of athletes — girls, boys, women and men — serving to help shape it.

These Beautiful Audiophile Loudspeakers Make Wireless Hi-Fi Easy

As for power, each Diva Mezza Utopia loudspeaker has a maximum power output of 500 watts, meaning the system peaks at 1,000 watts. On the flip side, last year’s Diva Utopia loudspeakers each maxed out at 400 watts, with the system able to deliver 800 watts of combined power.

Focal Diva Mezza Utopia
Each speaker delivers 500 watts of power, spread across three Class-AB amplifiers for the treble, midrange and bass.
Focal

Naim Class A/B amplification

Like its smaller sibling, the Diva Mezza Utopia is a joint effort between Focal and Naim, its sister company. Focal handles the loudspeaker tech, while Naim handles the amplification and streaming.

And just like the Diva Utopia, each Diva Mezza Utopia loudspeaker has a 3-way design consisting of a beryllium tweeter, a mid-range driver, and four side-mounted woofers. (Note: the Diva Mezza Utopia’s 8-inch woofers are larger and promise to help it deliver deeper bass.)

Each loudspeaker is powered by three Naim Class A/B amplifiers, which feed 90 watts to the tweeter, 30 watts to mid-range drivers, and 280 watts to the four woofers.

Focal Diva Mezza Utopia
Each Diva Mezza Utopia loudspeaker stands over four feet tall and weighs roughly 96 pounds.

Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic

The stealthiest version of Bell & Ross’s aviation-inspired integrated sports watch blacks out nearly every element for an ultra-cool aesthetic. The watch features a black ceramic case paired with your choice of a matching black ceramic integrated bracelet or an integrated black rubber strap equipped with a black PVD stainless steel deployant. The sapphire dial, meanwhile, is tinted black and offers a smoky view of the black rhodium-plated BR-CAL.322-1 automatic movement beneath, while the black hands and applied indices are all filled with black lume. How much blacker could this watch get? In the immortal words of Spinal Tap, “none more black.” The watch retails for $9,800 on the bracelet or $8,900 on the strap and is limited to 500 pieces.

Outerknown Apex Evolution Trunk

Outerknown’s Kelly Slater-approved Apex trunks were already among the best board shorts you could buy. But that hasn’t stopped the brand from pursuing making them better. Now, after three years of R&D, they offer a “better fit, better length, a great scallop on the side for room in the leg,” and more. Per Slater himself, “I’m confident these are the best trunks ever made.” It doesn’t hurt that they’re more sustainable now, boasting a construction that’s over 90 percent recycled, using a combination of fishing nets and non-virgin elastane.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7Samsung

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the company’s sixth-generation clamshell-style foldable smartphone. It maintains a similar look and feel to last year’s Flip 6, but has several notable upgrades. The most obvious is its cover screen, which Samsung calls the FlexWindow, is significantly larger (4.1 inches vs last year’s 3.4 inches), faster (now with a 120Hz refresh rate), and more usable. Then, when you open the phone up, its 6.9-inch display is bigger than before, too. Samsung also upgraded it with a faster chipset and a larger battery. The only downside is that it maintains the same rear and selfie camera systems as last year’s models. Price has not changed.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7Samsung

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the newest foldable smartphone in Samsung’s higher-end and more productivity-focused Fold series. And it promises to be quite the upgrade over last year’s Fold 6. The new model features a significantly thinner and lighter design, but both its cover and internals are larger, with thinner bezels, compared to the previous year’s model. It also features a faster processor and an upgraded rear camera system — specifically, Samsung has equipped it with the same 200-megapixel wide-angle camera found on its Galaxy S25 Ultra. The only real downside is that Samsung increased the price by $100.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 ClassicSamsung

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 series features two smartwatches. The Galaxy Watch 8 is an updated version of last year’s Watch 7, while the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, which is a fancier version that has a rotating bezel, is a new and improved version of the last Classic, which was released two years prior. Both models have a new design with squared edges (similar to the Galaxy Watch Ultra), brighter displays, faster processors, and, most curiously, a new Antioxidant Index that can tell if you’re eating enough fruits and vegetables. On the downside, Samsung increased the price of the Watch 8 by $50.

Rivian R1 QuadRivian

2026 Rivian R1 Quad Launch Edition

Both the R1S and R1T truck and SUV will receive a new quad-motor trim, delivering 1,025 horsepower and 1,198 lb-ft of torque thanks to a motor on each wheel. Since each one is individually controlled, the vehicles can perform a so-called “tank turn” — where it effectively spins in place to get out of tight spaces. Pricing starts at $125,990 for the R1S and $119,990 for the R1T.

Welcome to Talking Points, a series that looks at what makes certain products worth talking about, brought to you by Gear Patrol Studios.

Crafting a timepiece which brings together precision, heritage, innovation and wearability is no easy task, but the newest luxury dive watch from Longines checks all the above boxes, and more. Longines is expanding its legendary dive watch collection for 2025 with the Longines Legend Diver, which fuses timeless heritage with contemporary vision and adds a striking addition to the storied collection.

The Backstory

First introduced in 1959, the Longines Legend Diver has been an icon in the Longines lineup for six generations, and serves as a testament to the precision, innovation and commitment to tradition that the watchmaker has built its reputation on. The latest chapter in this story is the 2025 Longines Legend Diver collection, which enhances the look of the timepiece while maintaining the distinctive DNA of the collection. 

The Gist

For 2025, the Longines Legend Diver is enhanced with an eye-catching matte white dial model, which provides exceptional contrast and readability in any condition. The hours are marked by extended indices and raised Arabic numerals, and are complemented by satinated black and light green arrow hands, all of which are treated with Super-LumiNova® to guarantee best-in-class visibility.

The collection also contains two models featuring either a lacquered blue dial or black dial, paired for the first time with matching blue and black rubber straps, respectively. These additions expand the already diverse Longines Legend Diver collection, and infuse the icon with comfort and durability — two must-haves for modern everyday wear. Each new strap features a diver pin-buckle that ensures a secure fit, whether seafaring or adventuring on dry land.

Our POV

The Longines Legend Diver is already known amongst watch enthusiasts as one of the best looking luxury dive watches on the market, and 2025’s new collection builds on that reputation, while also making it more wearable than ever. The introduction of rubber straps increases the comfort of this timeless watch, and the immaculate new white dial doesn’t just provide exceptional contrast and readability; it also raises the aesthetic bar, and will have everyone you know leaning in to take a closer look.

Nike’s Best Retro Sneaker Proves Yet Again Why It’s a Future Hall of Famer

First released in the 1980s, the reissued Field General continues its impressive winning streak. This time in luxe brown leather.

Last year, the Field General was sill warming up.

Nike’s forgotten football shoe, worn by NFL legends Archie Manning and Dan Fouts in the 1980s, had been sidelined for decades until a faithful reissue in early 2024.

Now it’s leading the brand’s charge against Adidas and New Balance in the retro-sneaker game, with its latest colorway making the case for not just MVP but future hall of famer.

Back in brown

The color, dubbed “Cacao Wow,” sees the Field General adopt a simple brown upper, which replaces white leather on both the original and handful of reissues over the last year and a half.

That alone gives it some everyday utility, with the flexibility to dress up or down across a broad range of wardrobes. However, the colorway’s white rubber outsole and matching swoosh also tone down the sporty deportment of most Field Generals to date.

Other variants, for example, flaunt bright, bold colors, including Pro Green and Lightning yellow.

That said, Cacao Wow preserves the design’s flagship feature, even if becomes less of a focal point in a muted colorway: the nubby waffle sole originally designed for traction on turf.

This Underrated Home Tool Has a Secret That Won It a Coveted Design Award

Honed to perfection

The biggest problem with most scissors is that they are extremely difficult to sharpen. In fact, those that don’t come apart are nearly impossible to hone back to factory sharpness. At the very least, a portion of their length must be left dull, which can be frustrating in use.

Even kitchen scissors that come apart can be difficult to sharpen. You can’t run them through an easy-to-use two-stage tabletop sharpener unless it has a scissor-specific slot. (Scissors usually have a chisel grind, where only one side of the edge is sharpened, making them impossible to use in traditional multi-stage sharpeners.)

The biggest problem with most scissors is that they are extremely difficult to sharpen […] Thankfully, Horl has taken the guesswork out.

Even then, the angle could be off. And don’t get me started on the difficulty in trying to learn how to use sharpening stones. Thankfully, Horl has taken the guesswork out.

Both sides of the scissors are made to stand up on a flat surface at the precise right 45-degree angle. All you have to do is roll one of the brand’s honing wheels back and forth over the edge. Yes, it’s really as simple (and elegant) as that.

That transforms these from a forgettable tool into something you can turn to time and time again, whether for complex kitchen work or even something as simple as opening packages. It’s no wonder they won one of the most prestigious design awards in the world.

Each half of the scissors is made to stand at the perfect angle for sharpening — no guesswork.

Searching for Surf in a 2025 4RunnerTRD Off-Road

Surfer hunter jones leans against a silver 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-road with a surfboard strapped to the roof on a backdrop of the pacific oceanGear Patrol Studios

Do not overload vehicle and properly secure roof load. See Owner’s Manual for weight limits and restrictions. Vehicle shown may include accessories not designed, manufactured or evaluated by Toyota nor covered by vehicle warranty. Options shown.

With the help of pro surfer and filmmaker Hunter Jones, we traveled California’s iconic coastline in search of uncrowded waves.

In the zone. Being on a roll. The “flow” state. If you’ve never heard of it, you’ve probably felt it: that feeling of intense focus, when all concept of time and the outside world disappears, and all you’re left with is the task at hand. We’ve all experienced it at least once in our lives, but no group experiences it as often as surfers in the water.

Ask pro surfer Hunter Jones if he’s been in the flow state, and you’ll most likely get an assured, “yes.” When you’re as comfortable in the water as Hunter is, that feeling of being lost in the moment is as accessible as the next wave. But what about out of the water? Where does Hunter find flow then? Chances are, it’s behind the wheel of his own Toyota Tacoma.

As a lifelong Toyota owner, we knew Hunter would be the ideal choice to test out a 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road — and what better place to do so than the iconic central California coastline?

[embedded content]

It turns out, when you combine surfing, camping and driving the epic California coastline, flow is easier to find than ever. From the ethereal cliffs of Big Sur to the swells in Morro Bay, we followed along as Hunter led us from set to set on one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the world.

The North Face Returns to Its Outdoor Roots with a Heritage EDC Bag Collection

Back to the future

While their styling and wax coatings are clearly drawn from classic outdoor packs, these bags are not exclusively throwbacks. Perhaps that’s apparent, at least in part, from the fact that three of them are variations of a crossbody bag, a more contemporary style.

However, take a look inside, and you’ll see more modern features and conveniences. For instance, the two larger packs, the rucksack and the sling, have internal pockets specifically for tech, like laptops and sleeves, giving them an edge in the modern commuter realm.

the two larger packs […] have internal pockets specifically for tech […] giving them an edge in the modern commuter realm.

The quartet of bags also has other contemporary elements, like lightweight yet heavy-duty plastic hardware (clips, buckles and the like). There are also modern zippers, keychain tethers, mesh pouches, adjustable (and removable) straps and so on.

Altogether, the bags are an excellent blend of old and new, helping them stand out against the deluge of similarly styled modern bags while still offering much more utility than traditional packs.

Bulgari Octo Finissimo Marble Tourbillon

For Only Watch 2023, Bulgari crafted an Octo Finissimo Tourbillon watch coated entirely in green marble, with a thin layer of the natural stone completely covering the watch’s case, dial and bracelet. For 2025, Bulgari has followed up that one-off with a watch that’s slightly more attainable. This time around, the green marble appears only on the dial — a more practical application that still brings plenty of unique character and beauty to the watch. The case is crafted from 18K yellow gold, while green alligator leather is used for the strap. Beating away inside is the remarkable BVL 268 Calibre, which at one time was the world’s thinnest tourbillon movement at just 1.95mm thick. The watch is priced at €140,500, which converts to around $164,000 as of this writing.

After nearly a decade, the German hi-fi maker has introduced a second-generation model of its 2017-released Aventho Wireless headphones. The new Aventho 100 shares a similar retro design and features the same 45mm drivers, but they’ve been upgraded with significantly better battery life — in fact, they promise 40 more hours than their predecessors — and support active noise cancellation. The kicker is that they are about half the price of their predecessors.

Flat Head upgraded the iconic Type II jacket from denim to horsehide leather, which is substantially tougher than cowhide. Not only is the jacket assembled in Japan, but the Japanese clothing brand also sources every element domestically, including getting the leather from the renowned Shinki Tannery. The black leather has a semi-aniline tea-core finish designed to create a rich patina as the jacket ages.

One of Last Year’s Best New Affordable Watches Has a Buzzworthy New Version

A pretty sweet dial

IFL stripped down the Super Seville dial to create a clean canvas for the honeycomb texture. The hour window, corresponding Cyclops crystal, applied hour markers, brand log, Precisionist logo and the sandwich hour and minute track have all been removed.

This isn’t the first textured dial on the Super Seville, with a stone dial series released in late 2024, but that only removed the hour markers.

The only other detail added is a honeybee doodle counterbalance on the second hand.

The honeybee counterbalance on the second hand moves as smoothly as a bee in flight.
IFL Watches

A brushed steel plate is covered with a white honeycomb structure resembling the one famously used by Rolex. Each dial in the 500-piece collection is hand-painted with honey drops in different patterns so that no two watches are identical.

The result is a sleeker, stripped-down version of Bulova’s timelessly stylish workhorse—or, should I say, worker bee—watch. The individuality created by the hand-painted dial may be enough for some to justify the increased price of $1,190.

Differences from the Wild One

The Independence Skeleton bears a strong resemblance to the Wild One Skeleton, with the same basic case shape, same skeletonized Sellita-based movement, same handset and same excellent integrated rubber strap.

Outside of some minor discrepancies in the dial and case designs, the biggest difference between the Independence and Wild One Skeletons is in their case construction. The Wild One boasts a shock-absorbing multi-layered case made from a combination of rubber, titanium and Norqain’s proprietary Norteq carbon material. It’s extremely light and robust and is designed for athletic activity.

The Independence Skeleton, by contrast, is more traditional. It swaps out the Wild One’s fancy materials and high-tech case construction for a much more familiar stainless steel case.

It’s not quite as comfortable on the wrist as the Wild One, but thanks to its buttery smooth rubber strap — among the best in the business — and relative light weight courtesy of its skeletonized movement and dial, the Independence Skeleton is still among the most comfortable sports watches you’ll find.

And now that it’s smaller, it’s even better on the wrist.

Even before it became a legend, the 992 was special.

First released in 2006 to celebrate New Balance’s 100th anniversary, the shoe promptly earned lasting notoriety as the go-to sneaker of the late Steve Jobs.

Years later, its status as an icon among icons looks as strong as ever, thanks to a batch of new colorways entering the brand’s Made in USA catalog for 2025.

Chief among them? A deep-green variant dubbed “Dark Camo.”

Dark and handsome

Like the original, this 992 boasts an upper defined by premium suede overlays and a breathable mesh base. However, here they’re colored in a fall-friendly green that verges on brown.

“Dark Camo” green colors both the upper and back half of the midsole.

That hue also extends to the back half of the midsole, which is famously supported by New Balance’s Abzorb technology in both the heel and forefoot.

Reflective accents sit throughout the design, but the shoe is decidedly understated with dark gray serving as the secondary color for the lining and laces.

Availability and pricing

At launch, the New Balance Made in USA 992 “Dark Camo” is exclusively available through the NYC-based retailer Extra Butter. It costs $200.

A widespread release is expected for the fall, when it will be joined by additional colorways, including Driftwood, Dusk Shower and Rich Oak.

Filson Clarkston Jac-Shirt

Filson’s original wool Jac-Shirt has been a brand staple since the 1970s. However, its construction makes it tough to wear if you’re layering or heading for warmer weather. To combat this, the brand has swapped the traditional fabric for a lighterweight weave inspired by military and industrial apparel. Made from Bedford cotton, a durable British fabric, this shirt-jacket retains its iconic styling but gets a major warm-weather upgrade.

This Rugged Titanium Tool Watch Is an Unconventional Military Mash-Up

The dial is topped with Plexiglas rather than a traditional sapphire crystal because it is far more durable and less environmentally impactful to produce. Scratches are easy to buff out, and it is cheaper to replace.

Just as dependable as the titanium case, a customized Sellita caliber SW300-1 b automatic movement is ticking away inside. It has a 56-hour power reserve and, despite being hidden, a gilded finish and signed bridge plate.

By using this movement, Laventure brilliantly ensured that the Marine Type 3 meets the contemporary definition of a chronometer because it comes with a COSC certification for accuracy, antimagnetism and durability.

Each watch comes with a rubber dive strap and a two-piece nylon strap.

The Marine Type 3 has an enigmatic but alluring appearance to casual observers. Is it a dive watch? Is it a field watch? Is it vintage or new?

Explaining the inspiration for this watch is a built-in conversation starter, and no one loves a good back story more than a watch fan.

Rolex’s New Sports Watch Just Became an Even Bigger Competitor to the Royal Oak

The Land-Dweller’s True Cost

First spied by WatchPro, the first Rolex Land-Dweller sold on eBay Live was an unworn 40mm steel model with box and papers and listed by Tanner and Company with a starting bid of $15,000 — a few hundred bucks below SRP. But, as expected, the watch’s price didn’t stay low for long.

When the dust settled as the auction came to a close, the Land-Dweller had sold for a staggering $51,250. That’s more than three times the SRP of the watch and just $2,000 shy of the combined retail prices of a Land-Dweller and Royal Oak “Jumbo.” Insanity.

The Land-Dweller in question, which sold for over $50,000.
Tanner and Company on eBay

So, where does the market go from here? There are essentially two schools of thought. Either this first sale was inflated and the buyer overpaid, meaning the price will drop as more Land-Dwellers hit the market. Or the crazy sale price will increase collectors’ desire for the watch, inflating the value even more for future sales.

Given the recent history of Rolex and integrated luxury sports watches in general, I’m betting on the latter scenario as being more likely.

This Elegant Dress Watch Is Deceptively Tough and Functional

It’s complicated

The Portugieser Tourbillon Retrograde Chronograph is an evolution of several processors in the Portugieser collection. More specifically, it elaborates on the Tourbillon Day & Night from 2024.

The dial has a calendar at nine o’clock and a chronograph at 12 o’clock.
IWC

Both watches share the 18-karat Armor Gold case, crown and pushers, framing an obsidian-colored dial, which is achieved with 15 layers of transparent lacquer.

Along with the flying tourbillon, both dials have 18-karat gold-plated applied numeral hour markers along a railroad minute track. At the center are the signature Portugieser hands.

Functionally, the Portugieser Tourbillon Retrograde Chronograph has more in common with the Portugieser Perpetual Calendar, also released in 2024.

It has an automatic movement but differs with a simple retrograde date, which registers along a crescent 31-day track and jumps back at the end of the month.

Apple Just Gave an Essential iPhone App a Clever New Ability

When Apple rolls out iOS 26 in just over two months, it’s going to overhaul the look of your iPhone, primarily thanks to a “Liquid Glass” color scheme, as well as deliver quite a few cool new features to some of your most-used apps, such as Phone, Messages and Photos.

FaceTime is gaining some new abilities, too. The highlight is Live Translation, which harnesses Apple Intelligence so that you can have a call with somebody speaking a different language. But that’s not all.

Facetime iOS 26Apple

During its WWDC presentation in June, Apple announced that FaceTime is gaining a new safety feature for child accounts, designed to block nudity. Specifically, when nudity is detected — or somebody on the call starts undressing — the audio and video of the FaceTime call will freeze.

However, 9to5Mac has reported that those with the iOS 26 Developer Beta have discovered that this safety feature isn’t just for child accounts. It’ll affect adults, too.

When the FaceTime call detects any nudity, this warning message appears:
