It's actually not what people think. A lot of these courses, when they very first started was all about getting fired at, and them learning about mines and all that. It's not about that at all. What we teach news crews, and the news crews we take out onto the ground. We got people in nearly 30 countries now doing this. What it's all about is the news crews and certainly camera men have got to get there to take pictures. That's what they do. So therefore, if we can teach them to look at the situation so they can understand what is happening or what might happen. That means they get into a better position to take their film and make their report, whatever they've got to do. So they get a better report and their safe. That's what it's all about. Not all the business that people think these companies do.
