1  prepare, execute in the undersigneds name and on the undersigneds behalf,
and submit to the US Securities and Exchange Commission

disposition of securities of the Company;
3 do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which may
 be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5,
or other form or report, and timely file such form or report with the SEC and
 any stock exchange or similar authority; and
4 take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to,
 in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of
the undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form
and shall contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve
in such attorney-in-facts discretion.
The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and
powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the
undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full power of
substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such
attorney-in-fact or such attorney-in-facts substitute or substitutes, shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney
and the rights and powers herein granted.  The undersigned acknowledges that
 the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request
of the undersigned, are not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any
 of the undersigneds responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the
Exchange Act.
This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5 with
respect to the undersigneds holdings of and transactions in
securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a
signed writing delivered to
the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.
 If any appointed attorney-in-fact set
forth in the first paragraph of this Power of Attorney
ceases to be employed
by the Company, then the appointment of such
 person as an attorney-in-fact
 hereunder shall automatically cease to be in effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused the
Power of Attorney to be executed
as of this 14th day of August, 2017.
