Home Remedies for Dandruff

Dandruff, also known as seborrheic dermatitis is a common scalp disorder. It can occur due to dry skin, irritated oily skin, growth of bacteria and fungus on the scalp, inflammatory skin conditions and other such factors. It causes itchiness along with excessive formation of dry skin flakes on the scalp.

Dandruff can be controlled by following a healthy hair care routine. You can also try some simple natural home remedies. It is true that natural remedies take time to show results but they can effectively treat the problem completely.

Here are the top 10 home remedies for dandruff.

1. Indian Lilac

The antifungal and antibacterial properties of Indian lilac, also known as neem, help treat dandruff as well as many other hair problems like scalp acne, itchy scalp, and hair fall efficiently.

1. Boil a handful of neem leaves in four cups of water.
2. Cool and strain the solution.
3. Use this decoction as a hair rinse two or three times a week.

2. Coconut Oil

Coconut oil helps eliminate dandruff due to its antifungal properties. It also moisturizes dry scalp and provides relief from itching.

1. Take some coconut oil and mix half the amount of lemon juice in it.
2. Rub it on your scalp and massage for a few minutes.
3. Wash your hair after at least 20 minutes.
4. Follow this remedy two to three times a week.

3. Apple Cider Vinegar

Scalp treatment with apple cider vinegar is effective in getting rid of dandruff. It restores the pH balance of the scalp, thereby inhibiting the growth of yeast. It also works as a natural hair clarifier and helps clean clogged pores and hair follicles.

1. Take two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.
2. Mix an equal amount of water and 15-20 drops of tea tree oil in it.
3. Apply it onto your scalp and massage. Rinse your hair after a few minutes.
4. Follow this natural treatment two or three times a week.

4. Baking Soda

Being a mild exfoliant, baking soda helps remove dead skin cells and absorbs excess oil. It can also help balance pH levels on the scalp and reduce the growth of fungi that cause dandruff.

1. Wet your hair and rub a handful of baking soda onto your scalp.
2. After a couple of minutes, rinse your hair well with warm water.
3. Repeat once or twice a week for a few weeks.

Note: Do not shampoo your hair after this treatment.

5. White Vinegar

White vinegar is one of the best home treatments for dandruff. Vinegar has acetic acid that prevents growth of fungi on your scalp and relieves itching.

• Add one-half cup of vinegar to two cups of water. Rinse your hair with this mixture after shampooing your hair.
• Another option is massage your scalp with a mixture of two parts white vinegar, one part olive oil and three parts water. After 10 minutes, rinse it off and shampoo your hair using a mild shampoo.

Follow either of these remedies once or twice a week.

6. Olive Oil

Scalp dryness can be cured with regular use of extra-virgin olive oil, an effective natural moisturizer.

1. Heat some extra virgin olive oil until it is slightly warm.
2. Massage it onto your scalp and then wrap your hair in a warm towel.
3. Leave it on for at least 45 minutes or overnight and then shampoo and condition your hair.
4. Repeat this remedy a few times a week.

7. Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil has strong antifungal properties, making it a good treatment for dandruff.

• Simply add a few drops of tea tree oil to your regular shampoo when you wash your hair. Add one drop of this essential oil per ounce of shampoo.
• You can also dilute the oil by adding a few drops of tea tree oil to a tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil. Apply it on your hair, leave it on for at least 30 minutes or overnight and then wash your hair. Do this once or twice a week.

8. Lemon Juice

Lemon juice contains acids that fight the fungi that can cause dandruff. It also helps relieve itching on the scalp.

• Mix the juice of half a lemon in one-quarter cup of plain yogurt. Apply it on your hair and scalp. Leave it on for about 20 minutes before rinsing it off and shampooing your hair.
• Alternatively, you can simply massage your scalp with a few teaspoons of lemon juice mixed with a little water. Leave it on for 5 minutes before rinsing it out and shampooing your hair.

9. Aspirin

Aspirin contains salicylic acid that can help control dandruff by exfoliating your scalp.

• Crush two aspirins to a fine powder and mix it with a blob of shampoo. Wash your hair with the mixture, massaging it onto your scalp. Leave it in for a few minutes and then rinse your hair well. If you wish, wash your hair again with normal shampoo to remove the powder completely.
• Alternatively, crush three aspirins and dissolve the powder in one tablespoon of vinegar. Massage the mixture into your scalp. Leave it in for half an hour and then wash your hair thoroughly.

Like aspirin, Listerine can also be used to treat dandruff, thanks to its antifungal properties and alcohol content. Just use Listerine to rinse your hair once a week.

10. Fenugreek Seeds

The herb fenugreek has antifungal and soothing properties that can help control dandruff to a great extent.

1. Soak two to three tablespoons of fenugreek seeds in water overnight. In the morning, grind them into a fine paste. You can also add a few teaspoons of plain yogurt to it.
2. Apply the paste all over your scalp and leave it in for a few hours.
3. Rinse it out and shampoo your hair.
4. Do this once or twice a week.

Nearly Half of India's Internet Population Hit by Cyber-Attacks: Norton

The Digital India initiative by our government is an ambitious move, to say the least. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi envisions a country in which a number of crucial sectors of our economy embrace the Internet to foster growth, expansion, and accessibility. Of the many things the government is working on, one is connecting rural areas with high-speed Internet networks. This has the potential to significantly ramp up our efforts in education, health, entertainment, and business among other spaces, and revitalise our economy as a whole. However, our cyber-security awareness and efforts continue to lag behind the curve.

A recent report said a large number of Internet users in the country don't hesitate sharing their bank credentials with others. People also continue to download and install apps, music, and movies from unsafe sources - to save money - that is crippling their security and privacy, a conclusion security firm Norton by Symantec has reached. The company first shared the insight with a few journalists at a media conference in New Delhi on Thursday.

As more people come online, and access a smartphone for the first time, it has become more crucial than ever that they are aware of the security implications that these services and facilities come tied with. But as has been found, we continue to remain ignorant about the basics of how the Web works, and what these "smart" devices are doing behind the scenes.

The India-specific report by Norton by Symantec said that as many as 113 million users were affected by a form of online attacks in the past year. On an average, an affected individual loses roughly Rs. 16,000 dealing with the fallout of cybercrimes, and as many as 30 hours in the aftermath of such an attack. "In the past year, 48 percent of India's online population or approximately 113 million Indians were affected by online crime," said Ritesh Chopra, Country Manager, India, Norton by Symantec. The firm found these conclusions looking into an online survey of more than 17,000 devices users with age of 18 or above across 17 markets.

One would expect the younger generation - people with base age of around 24 years - to be more educated about how to handle their digital world, because they grew up in a period when the Internet started getting traction, and different companies cropped up to offer their services. But that isn't the case. On the contrary, this subset of user base has been flagged as one of the most immature by Norton.

The firm reports that four out of ten such people live under the impression that they aren't "interesting enough" to be a target of an online crime. Reality is, Norton said, seven in ten of such people have experience a form of cybercrime, with as many as five in just the last 12 months. People around the average age of 55, on the other hand, are in a better position.

That's a dreadful statistic for a country with a young population and in which hundreds of thousands of smartphones are sold every few seconds, and thousands of people mark their arrival on the Interweb. And that also highlights the challenges we've in front of us that need to be sorted.

(Also see: Mobile Locked Unless You Pay the Ransom? Could Happen to You in 2016)

When asked if cyber awareness among people has gotten better over the past year, Chopra told Gadgets 360 that we're seeing a mixed result. While many people are getting hold of these aspects of the digital world, there are thousands of new people that come online everyday that don't.

The state of current security is already worrisome, with hackers devising new ways to circumvent the security our devices offer. We're seeing an increasing number of sophisticated attacks in which our devices are locked down, and attackers demand for a ransom. Attackers have also found ways to hack IoT devices, and get access to the Wi-Fi network they are connected to compromise the whole networkand the devices that they are connected to. But these are sophisticated attacks that we can also understand when we're aware of the basics, and have made others aware of them as well.

But aren't our operating systems getting better? Google, Apple, and Microsoft continue to tout the level of sophistication their products and services have reached with each new iteration. Chopra told us that while good guys continue to protect us, bad guys are balancing the equation by finding vulnerabilities and new ways to hack at an equally staggering rate.

What exactly is compromising our security?

People trust others with their password

Norton said that as many as 60 percent of users in the country are sharing credentials of two email accounts with others (global average is 55 percent). Around 55 percent of people share the passwords of their social media accounts (global average is 43 percent), and a staggering 36 percent Indian users share credentials of their bank accounts as opposed to 27 percent across the globe.

Obsession with freeware and means to get free alternatives

Many users continue to flock to shady websites to get free apps, and download copyright infringed content. What many people don't realise is that these files are highly likely to be riddled with malware or adware of some kind. As we've seen in the past, attackers are aggressively targeting such users.

Many users also like to use freeware products. While there are many great freeware apps and services available in the market, one has to understand the business model these providers maintain to sustain, said Chopra. As has been in the case of AVG - whose AVG Free security suite is highly popular - the company was found selling the data it had obtained from its users to marketers.

As has been previously reported, many apps on Google Play seek permission to information that they absolutely do not need for proper functioning. One needs to be careful while installing and needs to check the kind of things that particular app requires to function. A torch app must not get access to your contacts and text messages, for instance.

Easily sharing information

People continue to readily share their personal information such as their mobile phone number. "While entering this hotel, you provided your contact information at the registration desk." said Chopra, giving a simple example of how people don't think twice before sharing their information. "Who knows who goes through that register and gets your information," he added, jokingly revealing that he often provides a fake data to avoid the consequences such as telemarketing companies mysteriously getting their number.

Not using a secure password

People continue to use same password for all the services, and these passwords are generally not secure (combination of at least eight letters, number and symbols). As we've seen in previous reports, there are plenty of people who still use passwords such as "12345."

"I dream of Digital India where cyber-security becomes integral part of national security," Modi had said earlier this year. At the current state, we've a lot of work to do if we want to stay secure.

Top 5 Android Games From India You Must Play

It's that time of the year when our lives get consumed by big budget console or PC games. From shooters like Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 to more nuanced fare like Fallout 4, there's a game for everyone. But even if you don't own a decent enough console or PC, there's a lot of entertainment to be had on mobiles and tablets. A surprising number of these are developed in India, and no, none of the ones we're listing are digital takes on existing games like Teen Patti or Rummy. Here are our top 5 picks:

1. Little Life: Adaptivity
Odd name aside, this is a quirky puzzle platformer whose visuals remind you of a simpler time. Rest assured, its levels are anything but simple. With responsive controls and surprisingly addictive gameplay, there's little wrong with this Android debut effort by developer Prasanna Kumar K K. Check it out on Google Play.

2. Samosa
This running game sports art direction that's seemingly inspired by monochrome indie darling Limbo, except with liberal splashes of red to make things seem all the more macabre. You'll drive an auto-rickshaw through hordes of enemies and trick it out with some interesting weapons to boot. As for the naming after a fried snack? It's actually a portmanteau of the game's hero and villain, Sam and Osa. Grab it on Android via Google Play.

3. Scribbled Arena
Sporting a neat hand drawn art style, Scribbled Arena is a top down multiplayer shooter that has you controlling a tank across a few well-realised levels. It promises deep customisation options and has more than a few power-ups to help you even the odds. With more content promised in months to come, it's shaping up to be more than just a precursor to the PC version we checked out at IGX. You can download it for your Android smartphone.

4. Huemory
The premise of Huemory is simple. Select a colour and remember where it is on the screen. Tap correctly and quickly enough and you progress to more complex levels. There's your usual host of power-ups and traps as well. But perhaps its biggest strength is its minimal aesthetic. Well worth looking into if you prefer your games to be a little more cerebral. Available on Google Play.

5. Avion Flight Simulator 2015
Winner of the Nasscom Game Developer Conference 2015 Indie Game of the year, Avion Flight Simulator 2015 is a polished, fun affair. It features 12 aircraft and 5 missions per aircraft, apart from a free flight mode for each plane. Add to that three difficulty levels for each mission, and you can see that this game doesn't suffer from a lack of content. There's an Airbus A380, Boeing 747-8 and a military expansion pack in the works as well. Out on Google Play.

What will you be playing? Let us know via the comments.

Mobile Locked Unless You Pay the Ransom? Could Happen to You in 2016

Software security firm Kaspersky Lab is holding the APAC Cyber Security Summit in Malaysia, where it is talking about the current security trends and threats faced by individuals and businesses in the region and across the world.

Gadgets 360 spoke to Vitaly Kamluk, Principal Security Researcher at Kaspersky Lab, who discussed Kaspersky's predictions for the global security landscape in 2016. Here they are:

1) Ransomware
Ransomware is a relative new online phenomenon, where the victims are locked out of their devices, unless they pay a ransom to the attacker. Since most users don't back up their devices, many agree to pay to get access to their important data. It a lot more appealing to attackers as well, since the payout is immediate, especially when compared to traditional attacks where they had to steal financial information and then use it to gain access to the money.

According to Kamluk, the amounts involved in ransomware attacks are usually not too huge, and users are also less likely to report such cases, which decreases the possibility of attracting attention from government authorities. As a result, he sees ransomware attacks getting really popular in 2016.

Mobile ransomware is already a reality and Kamluk believes it will be one of the biggest trends in 2016, with users being locked out of their mobiles unless they pay up the ransom. According to Sergey Lozhkin, Senior Security Researcher at Kaspersky, 98 percent of all current mobile malware targets Android, which should tell you which set of users needs to worry the most about this trend.

OS X could also be another target in 2016, and Kamluk believes attackers see Mac users as more affluent, so they could be asked to pay bigger ransoms than their PC counterparts. IoT ransomware will also be on the rise, and it's hard to disagree with Kamluk on this one - we'd hate to be locked out of our Internet-connected refrigerator, and will happily pay up whatever is necessary to get our hands on the pizza inside come meal time.

2) Attacks on researchers and developers
Kamluk believes researchers will be one of the top targets in 2016, as attackers will try to compromise popular tools used for reverse engineering, virtualisation, debugging, and even various PGP implementation themselves. Code repositories like Github and other channels frequented by developers could be another popular target as a way of injecting code into the entire ecosystem. This means we could see more XcodeGhost-like incidents in 2016.

3) Financial attacks
Kamluk hinted that payment systems like Apple Pay and Android Pay are on the radar of hackers and the next big attack could be used to exploit one of more of these systems. He admitted that the company predicated the same for 2015, and as these systems become deployed in more markets, the probability of such an attack increases.

4) Abuse of trust
One of the biggest threats in 2016 will come from the comprise of websites that consumers implicitly trust, for example the Intranet or Sharepoint, which are used to share information within a company.

5) Extortion and shaming
According to Kamluk, 2016 will see more cyber-extortion and shaming attacks similar to this year'sAshley Madison case.

6) The end of APT
This one is for those who track security trends rather closely. Kamluk believes the Advance Persistent Threats - or ATPs as they are known in the security world - will see a decline in 2016. However, don't go celebrating just yet, as Kaspersky sees newer memory-resident or file-less malware replacing them, which will be even harder to detect.

Disclosure: Kaspersky Lab sponsored the correspondent's flights and accommodation for the event in Malaysia.

If you're looking forward to purchasing the new Microsoft Lumia 950 or Microsoft Lumia 950 XL in India, you might not have to wait till next month. The company has an event scheduled for November 30, in which it is expected to launch the flagship handsets.

At its Future Unveiled conference in Mumbai earlier this month, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadellaannounced that the company plans to launch both its newly launched Windows 10 Mobile-powered handsets in India by December. It appears we might not have to wait till the end of the year. Windows Central reports that the company is planning to launch the Lumia 950 as well as the Lumia 950 XL in all likelihood in India on November 30. Microsoft India confirmed an event on November 30 with Gadgets 360, however, it didn't reveal what it plans to launch on the day.

Windows Central further notes that the company is also likely to launch the Display Dock, the device that allows a Windows 10 Mobile handset to connect to a large monitor and switch to Windows 10-like desktop mode. At this point, we don't know how much Microsoft will ask for these handsets or the Display Dock.

For a refresh, the Lumia 950, which starts at $549 (roughly Rs. 35,800) in the US, comes with a 5.2-inch QHD display of pixel density 564ppi. It is powered by a 1.8GHz hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808SoC, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of inbuilt storage that's expandable via microSD card (up to 200GB).

The Lumia 950 XL, which starts at $649 (roughly Rs. 42,300), sports a 5.7-inch QHD display with a pixel density of 518ppi. It is powered by a 2GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of inbuilt storage that's expandable via microSD card (up to 200GB).

Both handsets are liquid cooled, and come with an adaptive antenna technology. In addition, both feature USB Type-C port (USB 3.1), with support for faster charging. The Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL handsets come equipped with a 20-megapixel rear camera with 4K video recording capability, OIS, and an f/1.9 aperture. There's also a 5-megapixel sensor placed upfront with an f/2.4 aperture, which can shoot full-HD videos. Both the Lumia handsets run Microsoft's new mobile operating system, Windows 10 Mobile.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro, Mi Pad 2 Teased Ahead of Tuesday's Launch

Xiaomi has already confirmed a launch event on Tuesday where the company is expected to reveal the new Redmi Note 2 Pro. The company has been teasing the handset in continuous teasers. Now, Xiaomi has shared a new teaser possibly showing the next-generation Mi Pad 2, as well as a fresh teaser for the Redmi Note 2 Pro.

Bin Lin, Co-Founder and President, Xiaomi, has shared an image on Weibo showing the sides of the Mi Pad 2 tablet that is now expected to be showcased at the company's Tuesday event alongside the Redmi Note 2. The teaser image appears to confirm that the Mi Pad 2 tablet will feature metal body. Considering that the first generation MiPad (First Impressions) tablet did sport a plastic build, we will have to wait for the company's Tuesday launch event to see if Xiaomi has in fact chosen to use a metal body.

The company also shared a new teaser image for its Redmi Note 2 Pro tipping the thin profile of the handset.

Xiaomi so far has already confirmed that the Redmi Note 2 Pro will feature a metal body and fingerprint scanner. The company in its teaser images has corroborated previous leaks of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro, showing a circular camera lens at the back followed by a dual-tone flash below and a circular fingerprint sensor placed below it. It also showed the metal-clad smartphone in Gold colour version.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro was recently spotted in a Tenaa listing. As per the listing, the smartphone may feature MediaTek's MT6795 Helio X10 processor; a 5.5-inch full-HD display; 2GB of RAM; 16GB of inbuilt storage; a 13-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front camera, Android 5.0 Lollipop, and pack a 3060mAh battery. It also adds that the Redmi Note 2 Pro will measure 149.9x75.9x8.7mm and weigh 165 grams. The Redmi Note 2 Pro is tipped to share the same specifications as the Redmi Note 2. The only difference would be an inclusion of a fingerprint sensor and a metal build.

10 Tips to Cut Down Your Mobile Data Bill 

Is your smartphone running up huge bills on data usage and throwing your budget out of control? We've all been there, and here are a few simple tips that you can follow to save some money. These are ideas we've tried out ourselves, and can tell you that they work. What's more, you won't just save money by reducing 3G or 4G mobile data usage, but will also use less of our battery as a bonus.

1) Schedule app updates over Wi-Fi
When app updates happen over your cellular data, even something as simple as loading a webpage can become slow. The continued mobile data use also heats up your phone and eats up your battery. There's an easy way to prevent this from happening though, on both Android and iOS. Updating apps on Wi-Fi can help lower your mobile data usage, and make a big impact on overall bandwidth savings. Check if you have this setting enabled. 

On Android, open the Play Store app, then tap the menu button in the top left. Here, tap on Settings. Under "General," tap on Auto-update apps, and select Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only.

On iOS, tap on Settings > iTunes & App Store, then scroll down and turn off the Use Mobile Datatoggle to make your phone does automatic updates on Wi-Fi only.

2) Disable Wi-Fi Assist
Disabling Wi-Fi Assist, a new iOS 9 setting that's enabled by default, can help save cellular bandwidth too. Wi-Fi Assist automatically switches to cellular in the event of a poor Wi-Fi connection. You can disable this feature in Settings > Cellular and then tapping on Wi-Fi Assist.

3) Enable data compression while browsing
Chrome's Data Saver feature, available on almost every major computing platform, uses Google's servers to reduce the amount of data that gets downloaded when you visit a site. Data savings are dependent on the type of content you're accessing. Google claims that you can save up to 50 percent of data by enabling the feature, by tapping on Settings > Data Saver. 

Data compression features are also built into Opera's suite of web browsers - Opera and Opera Mini. In Opera, you can adjust the image quality and enable video compression in the Settings tab, while Opera Mini 11 gives the user a choice between High or Extreme compression modes. UC Browser also introduced data compression this year. For more details on this setting, visit the help docs hosted on the websites of Opera, Chrome, and UC Browser.

4) Enable system-wide data compression using Opera Max
The previous tip will help you save data while browsing, but what about other popular apps? Opera's data management app on Android compresses videos, photos and media over mobile and Wi-Fi networks across most apps, and claims bandwidth savings of up to 50 percent. The app also provides an App Management option that lets the user control background app usage over Wi-Fi or cellular bandwidth. 

Download: Opera Max for Android

5) Disable media auto-download for WhatsApp
WhatsApp can turn into a major bandwidth hog with auto-download turned on. Fortunately, you can toggle the settings to disable auto-download for images over cellular or Wi-Fi for audio and videos sent by your contacts and groups.

(Also see: WhatsApp - How to Stop Auto Downloading and Saving of Photos)

To do this, just launch the app, then go to Menu > Settings > Chats and calls > Media auto-download. There tap on When using mobile data and de-select all the options, and tap OK to save your settings.

6) Switch mail sync to manual
If heavy email attachments are bogging your phone down, Gmail's app on Android allows you to switch Sync off. The settings, accessed in Menu > Settings in the Gmail app, also lets you set the time period for data that needs to be synced.

7) Disable Cellular Data on an app-wise basis
In iOS, you can turn off Push Notifications in Settings > Notifications, and turn off cellular data off for any app in Settings > Mobile data.

On Android, you can disable background data by tapping on Settings > Mobile Data, then tap on the app and tick Restrict background data. Enabling the setting ensures that the apps won't consume any data unless you are actively using them.

8) Use Greenify, if you don't have Android M
App Standby, a new feature only available on Android Marshmallow devices prevents seldom used apps from using your network data, sending you push notifications and draining your battery. This setting is enabled by default on Android M devices, those on an earlier version can install Greenify, which lets you send misbehaving apps on hibernation. 

9) Disable auto-play on Facebook and Twitter
If you're a heavy social media user, disabling auto-play of videos on both these platforms can give your bandwidth some respite. We've published an article detailing how you can do that for Facebook, covering iOS and Android.

For Twitter, the setting can be accessed from menu on the top right of the screen. Tap on Settings > General > Video autoplay, and tap on choose the Never play videos automatically option. On iOS, this setting is available in the Settings menu for Twitter. Just Tap on Video autoplay > Never play videos automatically to disable it.

10) Cache Google Maps for offline use
Google Maps lets you save a map area the size of 120,000 square kilometers on your smartphone, with navigation functionality. This feature is available on both iOS and Android, and was rolled out this month. If you're living somewhere where this feature is already available, it could make a big impact on battery life as well as data consumption, if you use maps regularly to get around. Remember you will miss out on features like live traffic updates.

Others
Ad blockers, RSS feed readers, Facebook's Instant Articles, and apps like Pocket, which lets you sync your reading for offline use can help manage your media diet without taxing your bandwidth plan. Paying for apps can also help reduce network usage, according to a study conducted earlier this year.

Do you have any other ideas on saving your phone's bandwidth? Sound off in the comments below.

Lenovo Vibe S1 With Dual-Front Cameras Set to Launch in India on Monday

Lenovo has sent invites for the launch of its Vibe S1 smartphone in India on Monday. The company is holding an event in New Delhi to launch the smartphone.

The Lenovo Vibe S1 smartphone was unveiled in September during the IFA 2015 trade show in Berlin alongside Lenovo P1 and Lenovo P1m. The Android 5.0 Lollipop-based Lenovo Vibe S1 features a 5-inch full-HD (1080x1920) display. The highlight of the smartphone are its dual front cameras. It sports 8-megapixel and 2-megapixel front-facing cameras. The company at the time of the launch said "The 8-megapixel primary front camera takes the sharpest photos and a 2-megapixel secondary front camera analyses depth of field information."
