B-1. Synopsis of Reviewed Research Publications of Ashu M. G. Solo on New Math Fields



While some people see problems, Solo sees solutions. After seeing many researchers complain that no existing branch of mathematics could model aspects of higher order neural networks, Solo developed new branches of math. Solo is the creator of multidimensional matrix mathematics and its subsets, multidimensional matrix algebra and multidimensional matrix calculus, all of which are published. All of these advancements were developed and defined by Solo, reviewed by many professional math researchers, and published in refereed research papers in 2010: multidimensional matrix notation, multidimensional matrix representation, multidimensional matrix equality, multidimensional matrix simplification, multidimensional matrix unsimplification, multidimensional matrix addition, multidimensional matrix subtraction, multidimensional matrix multiplication, multidimensional matrix outer product, multidimensional matrix inner product, multidimensional matrix transpose, multidimensional matrix determinant, multidimensional matrix inverse, multidimensional matrix differentiation, multidimensional matrix integration, multidimensional null matrix, multidimensional identity matrix, multidimensional matrix symmetry, multidimensional matrix antisymmetry, and commutative, associative, and distributive laws of multidimensional matrix algebra. Solo developed an alternative representation for the summation of quadratic terms using multidimensional matrix multiplication and a new method for the solution of systems of linear equations using multidimensional matrices. Solo was the first to apply his multidimensional matrix math to the design of higher order neural networks for complex identification, recognition, vision, optimization, and control systems applications. Solo made numerous other developments to the theory and applications of multidimensional matrix mathematics that will soon be published. While most people follow well-worn trails in research, Solo blazes new trails in research.



B-2. Synopsis of Reviewed Research Publications of Ashu M. G. Solo on New Engineering and Computational Fields



Solo saw the need to originate new fields on the application of engineering, computer science, mathematics, and natural science to solving problems in public policy after seeing that legislators usually determine spending priorities and budget allocations based on passions of the moment, special interest lobbying, parochial interests, ignorant public opinion, or their own ideological biases rather than on a rigorous mathematical and computational analysis of how spending priorities and budget allocations can be made for the greatest public benefit. Solo saw the need to originate new fields on the application of engineering, computer science, mathematics, and natural science to solving problems in politics after seeing that many politicians often determine how to spend limited campaign funds on advertising in certain geographic areas based on their best guesses rather than on a rigorous mathematical and computational analysis of how funds should be allocated for the greatest benefit to their campaigns. Solo is the originator of public policy engineering, computational public policy, political engineering, and computational politics, all of which are published. Public policy engineering is the application of engineering, computer science, mathematics, or natural science to solving problems in public policy. Computational public policy is the application of computer science or mathematics to solving problems in public policy. Political engineering is the application of engineering, computer science, mathematics, or natural science to solving problems in politics. Computational politics is the application of computer science or mathematics to solving problems in politics. Public policy engineering and computational public policy include, but are not limited to, principles and methods for public policy formulation, decision making, analysis, modeling, optimization, forecasting, and simulation. Political engineering and computational politics include, but are not limited to, principles and methods for political decision making, analysis, modeling, optimization, forecasting, simulation, and expression.



B-3. Synopsis of Reviewed Research Publications of Ashu M. G. Solo on Intelligent Systems in Reliability of Power Distribution System Operations



Solo co-developed some of the best published methods for maintaining power flow in radial power distribution system operations using intelligent systems. Solo co-designed a knowledge-based system for network radiality in a power distribution system that maintains power flow to all customers on a line during reconfiguration of the power distribution system. This can be used immediately after failure of power system components, during system optimization procedures, during network maintenance, and after power outages. Also, Solo co-designed a hybrid intelligent system using a fuzzy knowledge-based system and numerical methods for maintaining radiality and not violating operational constraints in reconfiguration of a power distribution system. Furthermore, Solo co-designed a less sophisticated version of this hybrid intelligent system with a crisp knowledge-based system instead of a fuzzy knowledge-based system. These published developments enhance power distribution network reliability and can prevent power outages, which cost individuals and organizations tremendous productivity, time, and money. While other people complain about power outages, Solo co-developed technology that can reduce power outages.



B-4. Synopsis of Reviewed Research Publications of Ashu M. G. Solo on Intelligent Systems in Multiobjective Optimization of Power Distribution System Operations



Solo co-developed some of the best published methods for maintaining power flow in and multiobjective optimization of radial power distribution system operations using intelligent systems. Solo co-designed a hybrid intelligent system using a fuzzy knowledge-based system and numerical methods for multiobjective optimization of power distribution system operations. Also, Solo co-designed a less sophisticated version of this intelligent optimization system with a crisp knowledge-based system instead of a fuzzy knowledge-based system. These methods decrease energy losses in power distribution systems, which results in less burning of non-renewable fossil fuels, reduced global warming, decreased air pollution and acid rain, reduced harm to the environment and wildlife from obtaining fossil fuels, and less nuclear waste. Furthermore, the methods described can increase transformer life spans and enhance the reliability of a power distribution network. This can prevent power outages, which cost individuals and organizations tremendous productivity, time, and money. Decreased consumption of fossil fuels or uranium and increased transformer life spans lower operating costs and consumer prices. While other people protest for less energy consumption, Solo develops technology for less energy consumption.



B-5. Synopsis of Reviewed Research Publications of Ashu M. G. Solo on Intelligent Systems



Solo made other published contributions to the theory and applications of intelligent systems.

D. Selective and Condensed Biographical Synopsis of Military, Engineering, Math, Political, and Other Positions of Ashu M. G. Solo



D-1. Synopsis of Military Appointment and Occupation of Ashu M. G. Solo



Solo previously served honorably as an infantry officer (military occupation) and platoon commander understudy (regiment appointment) in the Cdn. Army Reserve Infantry. Infantry officers fight by bullet, blade, blunt force, and grenade and lead infantrymen in doing the same. The infantry is called the "tip of the spear" because it puts freedom over fear and engages directly against the enemy with support from the rest of the military in service of liberty. Solo was second in command of an understaffed infantry platoon of 20 private recruit infantrymen. At the age of 23, he already outranked every senior and junior non-commissioned member in the Canadian army, navy, and air force including countless military members serving since before he was born. A military member can start directly as an officer outranking non-commissioned members if he has a university education and can meet much tougher standards. Solo scored the highest mark ever in his recruiting area on the Canadian Armed Forces Officer Aptitude Examination. While other people chose personal safety over liberty, serving in the infantry is being willing to die for liberty.

F. Selective and Condensed Biographical Synopsis of Reviewed Public Policy and Political Commentary Publications of Ashu M. G. Solo



​While other people only told their opinions to kith and kin, Solo told his opinions in reviewed publications. In reviewed public policy publications, Solo repeatedly condemned the monarchy and monarchists, called for removal of the queen on Canadian currency, called for replacement of Victoria Day and Remembrance Day with Veterans Day and Memorial Day in Canada, called for American politicians to criticize monarchy and royalty instead of respecting it, repeatedly condemned police corruption, condemned border guard corruption, said racial profiling should be called racist profiling to make clear that the practice is racist and make politicians and others less likely to support it, called for abolition of the death penalty, called for the elimination of traffic enforcement cameras because the tickets go to vehicle owners rather than vehicle drivers, called for mayors to no longer be referred to as “your worship,” “her worship,” or “his worship,” called for ending drone strikes, called for infantry officers and infantrymen to not be referred to as “boots on the ground,” called for naming streets after war veterans and researchers, called for military intervention against ISIS and Boko Haram, called for a school division to end prayer recitations, called for the Canadian national anthem to be made gender neutral and secular, repeatedly called for secularism, repeatedly called for protecting the rights of religious minorities, called for renaming a school sports team to be respectful of Indigenous people and girls, called for letting all children play on school sports teams, called for disability accommodation, called for disability accommodation in education, called for moving drama and dance departments from universities to community colleges, called for not wasting energy on outdoor lighting when it isn’t dark outside, criticized Monsanto, called for buses to be running until an hour after bars and nightclubs close to prevent driving while intoxicated, called for John A. Macdonald Road in Saskatoon to be named after an Indigenous hero because of Macdonald's extremely abusive policies against Indigenous people, called for snow ramp removal on Saskatoon bridges and overpasses, etc.



In reviewed political publications, Solo called for revocation of George Bush’s honorary degrees for admitted groping, said there shouldn’t have been a state funeral for Bush because of his admitted groping, condemned George W. Bush and Dick Cheney multiple times for evading military service in the Vietnam War, called for Congressman Seth Moulton to be in the Democratic presidential debates, condemned Ben Carson for supporting a religious test for the presidency, condemned Bernie Sanders for running against Democrats in general elections, criticized Sanders for his admission that he’s a one issue candidate, criticized Michigan gubernatorial candidate Shri Thanedar for not living up to his claims of being a progressive, called for Canadian senators with invalid expense claims to repay the costs of independent audits, etc.



Solo has many reviewed publications on different aspects of liberty, governance, and duty to humanity. After Centre for Inquiry Canada had an online chat party called Christmyth Social, Solo wrote an article proposing Christmyth as a holiday alternative to Christmas for people who aren't Christian. While other people only posted their opinions on social media, Solo told his opinions with the actual media.​



G. Selective and Condensed Biographical Synopsis of Selected Corruption Whistleblowing of Ashu M. G. Solo



Because of Solo’s whistleblowing, a corrupt police officer was placed on desk duty, an academic program was cancelled, and members of an ethics committee resigned. He made over 10 ethics complaints against professors. He did much more corruption whistleblowing. While other people lived in pusillanimity and accepted the status quo of society, Solo fought against discrimination and corruption with all of his intrepidity.



H. Selective and Condensed Biographical Synopsis of Other Selected Civil Rights and Progressive Activism of Ashu M. G. Solo



In his spare time, Solo has become an extremely experienced civil rights activist, progressive activist, and corruption whistleblower. Solo has fought against police corruption and brutality, other law enforcement corruption and brutality, military corruption, political party corruption, university corruption, government waste, monarchy, racist profiling, the death penalty, religious discrimination, age discrimination, disability discrimination, gender discrimination, sexual harassment and assault, other violations of civil rights and civil liberties, climate change, harmful genetically modified foods, driving while intoxicated, etc. Solo has been covered by the media hundreds of times for his civil rights and progressive activism. His activism has caused significant change in numerous organizations. While other people succumbed to apathy, complacency, timidity, or bigotry and accepted tyranny, injustice, and inequity, Solo fought with vigor, vision, and valor for liberty, justice, and equity.



H-1. Synopsis of Selected Secularism Activism of Ashu M. G. Solo



Solo launched a civil rights case against the City of Saskatoon (Mayor’s Office) and a city councillor for prayer recitations at government organized events. With the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Centre for Inquiry Canada, and Canadian Secular Alliance supporting Solo’s position, Solo sought a judgment that has the effect of banning prayer recitations at government organized events throughout the province of Saskatchewan and that has significant persuasive value in other provinces too. The City of Saskatoon ended prayer recitations at its events. This case got major media coverage for every development. While other people sought to conform, Solo sought to reform.



Solo launched a civil rights case against the City of Saskatoon (Saskatoon Transit Services) for promoting only one religion on city buses. He sought a judgment that has the effect of banning religious messages by government organizations throughout the province of Saskatchewan and that has significant persuasive value in other provinces too. This case got major media coverage for every development. While other people perpetrated religious discrimination with bigotry or accepted religious discrimination with pusillanimity, Solo fought for inclusivity and religious liberty.



Many people tried using actual and implied threats of violence to intimidate Solo into dropping his cases for religious liberty, but serving in the infantry is being willing to die for liberty, so as a former officer in the infantry, Solo will never surrender to agents of hatred and bigotry. He who has the courage to stay the course on the ship of a righteous cause in a tumultuous and intolerant sea will weather the storm of bigotry and hatred and see the darkness of tyranny subside for the calm dawn of liberty.



Solo made many more secularism complaints directly to organizations, but didn't tell the media about them because he didn't need to file civil rights cases or didn't have legal standing to file civil rights cases. For example, Solo complained to two school divisions about prayer recitations in public schools, recommended that a secular school adopt a secular name, convinced two principals at a school to end Christian Bible scenes in their concerts and plays, and did much more secularism activism. Solo’s civil rights activism gets results.



Solo fought for secularism because Canada isn't supposed to be a Christian country. It's supposed to be a secular multireligious country. Canada needs to respect everybody. It needs to protect the rights of the minority from the discriminatory will of the majority. Government promotion of only Christianity is analogous to going to a restaurant where there is only one menu option and the restaurateur force feeds you with that single option. Secularism is analogous to going to a restaurant and being able to eat whatever you want. The former is suitable for some people. The latter is suitable for all people. Solo's opponents were fighting for some people. Solo was fighting for all people.



H-2. Synopsis of Selected Government Accountability Activism of Ashu M. G. Solo



After Solo filed a secularism civil rights case against the City of Saskatoon (Mayor's Office) and a city councillor as well as a secularism civil rights case against the City of Saskatoon (Saskatoon Transit Services), he was clearly retaliated against. Solo filed a human rights complaint against the City of Saskatoon (Executive Committee) for retaliating against Solo by not reappointing him to the Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Committee, a human rights complaint against the City of Saskatoon (City Solicitor’s Office) for retaliating against Solo by trying to deprive him of his right to directly communicate with members of City Council, and a human rights complaint against the City of Saskatoon (Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Office) and City of Saskatoon (Living in Harmony Ad Hoc Subcommittee of Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Committee) for retaliating against Solo by not considering his submissions to a literary contest. These complaints got some media coverage.



Solo filed three code of conduct complaints against two Saskatoon mayors during two city election campaigns for violations of the code with their online campaign advertising. These complaints got some media coverage. Solo was interviewed by a media organization over his complaints about the City of Saskatoon excessively spending $1.5 million on an improved website. Solo complained about Saskatoon City Council members unanimously voting in favor of a request for raising the flag of Turkey at Saskatoon City Hall for Turkey's Republic Day shortly after Turkey started an ethnic cleansing operation against Kurds in northeastern Syria. This complaint got media coverage. Solo made these complaints because in a democracy, the government doesn’t just hold citizens accountable, but citizens should hold government accountable. Not only are people the business of government, but government is the business of people.



H-3. Synopsis of Selected Children’s Rights Activism of Ashu M. G. Solo



Solo fights for the most vulnerable in society. Solo is engaging in anti-pedophile activism and children’s rights activism. He made recommendations to the Catholic Church to prevent the abuse of children by church staff. These recommendations were implemented in at least one region so far. He complained to a research publisher about two of its journals publishing three research papers justifying acts of pedophilia. This was investigated by the publisher. He complained to the Facilitation and Integrity Subcommittee of the Committee on Publishing Ethics (COPE) about the publisher accepting and not retracting such deleterious, despicable, and disgraceful papers. He complained to a university about a journal editor not stopping publication of one of these deplorable, detestable, and disturbing papers. This was investigated by the university. Solo wrote an op-ed article and contacted 25 school boards about eliminating tryouts for school sports teams. Solo suggested to Boy Scouts of America that the organization change its name to reflect that girls can join. Solo fights for children because they're too young to fight for themselves.



H-4. Synopsis of Selected Environmental Activism of Ashu M. G. Solo



Solo developed or co-developed power distribution system optimization methods, environmental controller firmware, and energy conservation methods that decrease energy losses, thus resulting in a more energy efficient system and less burning of non-renewable fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) to generate electricity. Less burning of fossil fuels leads to reduced global warming, decreased air pollution and acid rain, diminished dependence on foreign oil, and reduced harm to the environment and wildlife from obtaining fossil fuels. Reduced global warming elicits diminished severity of natural disasters caused by global warming, less extreme weather, diminished spread of infectious diseases, and less loss of life. Decreased air pollution and acid rain induce fewer health problems, less harm to plant and aquatic life, and reduced damage of materials. Diminished dependence on foreign oil reduces skewing and inequities in foreign policy. In nuclear power plants, there would be diminished uranium consumption and hence less nuclear waste. While other people protested and petitioned for environmental protection activity, Solo developed significant environmental protection technology.



Solo complained to Saskatoon Light & Power and SaskPower about street lights being on when it wasn’t dark outside and street lights not using LEDs. He co-organized an informational event on climate change and an informational event on genetically modified foods. After receiving 360 vitamin supplements in six plastic bottles when the 360 supplements could have fit in one of the same bottles, Solo suggested that the vitamin manufacturer offer consumers the option of purchasing much larger quantities of supplements in each bottle to reduce plastic waste, shipping costs, and consumer prices. Solo is a member of the Climate Reality Leadership Corps started by Vice President Al Gore.



H-5. Synopsis of Selected Miscellaneous Activism of Ashu M. G. Solo



Based on his observations during his military service, Solo made over 50 recommendations to the Department of National Defence to improve the Canadian Armed Forces. Solo made 7 recommendations on effectively fighting cyberlibel to the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights of the House of Commons of Canada. Solo wrote an op-ed article and contacted seven universities about revoking George H. W. Bush’s honorary degrees because of his admitted groping. He contacted councils to recommend renaming streets named after British royals. Solo made countless recommendations to the City of Saskatoon, Saskatoon Police Service, and Saskatoon Public Schools on how to correct and improve their services. He complained to Walmart about the store selling decorative license plates with the Confederate battle flag. He made repeated complaints to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency against a company mislabeling food products. This resulted in the company being forced to change its product labeling. Solo challenged the Saskatoon mayor to issue a statement asking for himself to no longer be referred to as “your worship” or “his worship.” After Solo suggested to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health that it should provide information on the number of active COVID-19 cases in every city, town, and village or at least smaller regions, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health started providing information on the number of active COVID-19 cases in much smaller regions. Solo complained to four store managers about three stores taking poor or misguided precautions against coronavirus transmissions. He complained to the CBC Ombudsperson about the public broadcaster giving preferential treatment in its coverage to certain political parties. He complained to the "Royal" Canadian Mint about it giving an unfair business advantage to Tim Hortons over other restaurants by making Tim Hortons a primary distributor of its poppy coins. He helped organize a police corruption protest. Solo complained to a store manager about a security guard following him around a store due to racist profiling. Solo engaged in much more civil rights and progressive activism. While most people accept the world as it is, Solo strives to make the world as it should be.



I. Selective and Condensed Biographical Synopsis of Selected Life Aid of Ashu M. G. Solo



Solo tried to rescue four birds, and a veterinarian was able to save one of them. He helped a refugee with a successful political asylum application. After a kid got his shoelace stuck in an escalator, Solo quickly got him loose. After an intoxicated person refused to get out of a woman's car and the woman called Solo for help, Solo got him out. He convinced a young guy who was living with a Canadian gang engaging in criminality that he would be better off going to university in a country with more opportunity. After an older kid stole a hockey stick from a younger kid, Solo went and got the hockey stick back from the former for the latter. After an older kid stole videogames from a younger kid, Solo went and got the videogames back from the former for the latter. After driving by a person passed out in the snow on a sidewalk in the middle of a winter night when it was -13 F (-25 C), Solo stopped and made sure she got medical attention.

K-8. Synopsis of Foreign Language Education of Ashu M. G. Solo



Solo can understand most oral Hindi (the 4th most spoken language) and oral Urdu (the 21st most spoken language) and can speak these languages with really bad grammar and pronunciation. He can orally understand significant amounts of many other South Asian languages due to their similarity with oral Hindi. He learned differences between oral Hindi and oral Punjabi (the 10th most spoken language), which are very similar. He has an elementary knowledge in reading, writing, and speaking French (the 5th most spoken language now according to the World Economic Forum), but can barely understand people speaking it because he doesn't have significant exposure to people speaking with a French accent. He has learned some basic Spanish (the 2nd most spoken language) vocabulary. He learned some words and phrases from various other languages.



It's important to realize that some of these languages gained widespread usage as a result of imperialism, so people are now compelled to learn them.



​Solo took French from the 7th grade to 12th grade and learned other foreign languages outside the classroom. He practiced foreign languages and learned about differences in English in different regions during extensive interactions with and listening to people from around the world when he lived in three countries; traveled in eight countries; attended eight universities in three countries; stayed in 12 university student residences; attended events of seven ethnic student associations; and attended 12 research multiconferences, conferences, and symposiums.

K-13. Synopsis of Politics and Public Policy Education of Ashu M. G. Solo



Despite never having taken a course on politics or public policy other than law, economics, and history, a significant percentage of Solo’s over 900 reviewed publications are research papers or commentaries on politics or public policy. Because of Solo’s published research papers on politics and public policy and because he originated the new interdisciplinary fields of public policy engineering, computational public policy, political engineering, and computational politics, Solo was able to edit three research books on politics in the information age including research papers on the interdisciplinary fields originated by Solo. Instead of taking courses on politics and public policy, Solo decided that he could more effectively, more easily, and more quickly learn about politics and public policy on his own, so he read thousands of articles and spent countless hours watching or listening to the news while working or driving in addition to reading books and watching countless documentaries on politics and public policy.



K-14. Synopsis of Writing Education of Ashu M. G. Solo



After seeing how badly taught and worthless the English courses in high school were, Solo decided that he could more effectively, more easily, and more quickly learn about writing conventions, writing styles, and literature on his own. The problem with English courses in Solo’s opinion is they focus on reading stories that students might not be interested in and writing essays that can’t even be published about these stories instead of focusing on writing styles and writing conventions, writing manuscripts that can be published, and letting students choose which literature they want to read. Solo decided that he would be better off mastering grammar, punctuation, and style; developing an extensive vocabulary; and learning technical writing, op-ed article writing, screenwriting, poetry writing, and rhetorical writing on his own than fully reading old English plays by Shakespeare and then answering questions and writing essays about these stories in English courses.



Solo fulfilled the English requirement in his first degree by doing well on a proficiency exam right before starting university. After that, Solo was exempted from taking English because of his publications, so he hasn't taken any English courses after high school.



After high school, Solo studied a book on American English grammar; a book on American English punctuation; a book on American English writing style; 2 books on American English grammar, punctuation, and style; a book on technical writing; a book on op-ed article writing; a book on screenwriting; 2 books on poetry writing; 3 books with rhetorical writing; and 7 books or audiobooks on advanced English vocabulary.



He listened to or read archives of many of the greatest American political speeches. He studied the rhetorical writing techniques of countless politicians and activists including the greatest politicians and activists like President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Senator Edward Kennedy, Governor Mario Cuomo, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rev. Jesse Jackson, and Rev. Al Sharpton.



Solo was advised by two professional poets and a professional fiction author on how to improve his writing and get it published; two of them were writers in residence at the Saskatoon Public Library.



Solo is highly skilled and experienced in rhetorical writing, poetic writing, op-ed writing, and research writing in English as can be seen in his over 900 reviewed publications. Solo is an expert in English grammar, punctuation, and style; has a vast English vocabulary; and is very familiar with differences in English (the 3rd most spoken language) in five countries. He studied the difference in punctuation between the U.S. and the U.K.; the difference in spelling between the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.; and the difference in words used in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., India, and Pakistan.

O. Selective and Condensed Biographical Synopsis of Early Accomplishments of Ashu M. G. Solo



Since he was a little kid, Solo has been driving himself forward with all of his vigor. He intended to be an engineer and infantry officer since he was a little kid. He knew how to count orally to one less than one quadrillion at 4 years old. Solo started designing simple software and simple hardware when he was 6 years old and designing intelligent systems when he was 12 years old.



O-1. Synopsis of Early Academic Accomplishments of Ashu M. G. Solo



Solo first got ahead in school by finishing the second grade math workbook in the summer holidays after first grade and by working ahead in second grade in language arts while other kids were actually playing with the teacher’s stuffed animals, so he took third grade math and third grade language arts in second grade. Then Solo skipped a grade and continued working ahead because of the super slow pace of school.



Solo was in the advanced classes in elementary school and level one (advanced level) courses in every subject with different levels in high school. Advanced courses are more difficult, cover more material, and are harder to get high grades in. Solo was the top student in calculus, algebra, geometry/trigonometry (got 100%), and computer science. Solo won an Academic Growth Award when completing elementary school and an Award of Great Distinction when completing high school.



Solo started electrical and computer engineering (with math and science courses) at a top-tier university as a full-time student at the age of 16 after taking an extra year of high school courses that weren’t even required, so he could have started university at the age of 15. Admission to the first university program that Solo took required a 93% average in high school as well as many extracurricular activities or accomplishments, so every student in Solo's class was one of the top students in her high school and the program was made extremely difficult to suit the top students. Solo was awarded a Canada Scholarship, Saskatchewan General Proficiency Scholarship, and IBM scholarship before starting university.
