0:06.6	Daniel good to see you. What a morning Dr. Paul, are we on time?
0:10.4	Yeah no we're not. We're going to get a paper on time. We'll find something to blame.
0:17.7	Well very good and we're ready to and we're here and to go and update people on a few things we

0:29.1	But the one that really caught my attention is the unbelievable numbers involved with
