:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to BBC Points West with Liz Beacon and David Garmston.

:00:00. > :00:07.The 20-minute op changing men's lives.

:00:08. > :00:09.The treatment to cure a common prostate condition

:00:10. > :00:18.is being pioneered in the West and gives instant pain relief.

:00:19. > :00:27.I've had the left, I'm fixed, I'm not getting up in the night. It's a

:00:28. > :00:29.complete transformation and I'm really happy.

:00:30. > :00:37.We'll find out how it works and where it's on offer.

:00:38. > :00:40.The candidate denied a job interview when he revealed

:00:41. > :00:45.The end of a nightmare for soldiers with stress.

:00:46. > :00:49.A new therapy to turn flashbacks into peaceful dreams.

:00:50. > :00:54.And we're revving up with the school students

:00:55. > :01:06.who are taking their own Formula One car to Silverstone.

:01:07. > :01:09.An exciting new treatment's being offered at Southmead Hospital

:01:10. > :01:12.in Bristol which could make a massive difference to men's lives.

:01:13. > :01:15.It's called the UroLift and it's being used to help with

:01:16. > :01:19.a prostate condition called BPH or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

:01:20. > :01:23.For those who've got it, it feels anything but benign.

:01:24. > :01:26.For something that's only the size of a walnut,

:01:27. > :01:30.It does grow throughout your life, but rarely causes any

:01:31. > :01:35.But once you hit 50 it can start to get bigger

:01:36. > :01:39.and around third of men begin to experience discomfort.

:01:40. > :01:42.The prostate begins to restrict the tube which carries

:01:43. > :01:47.It's a bit like when you get a twist in the garden hose.

:01:48. > :01:50.It can mean having to get up several times in the night and a feeling

:01:51. > :01:56.Certainly an embarrassing problem, but one which Chris,

:01:57. > :01:59.a gardener from North Somerset, was willing to share with our health

:02:00. > :02:13.When I first had the problem, I noticed it seven or eight years ago,

:02:14. > :02:18.I couldn't pay at all and when the doctor asked if I was in pain, I

:02:19. > :02:19.said it was more like discomfort. He said it sounded like you was in

:02:20. > :02:21.agony. Chris Monkton was shocked to

:02:22. > :02:23.discover he was suffering from BHP. It's a condition which causes

:02:24. > :02:26.the prostate to grow Until now, the only solution has

:02:27. > :02:32.been to take medication. If that doesn't work, then

:02:33. > :02:35.you could be facing major surgery. But now Chris has been

:02:36. > :02:37.offered another option. A project at Southmead Hospital

:02:38. > :02:39.is offering a new treatment And the best thing about it is that

:02:40. > :02:43.it's not particularly invasive It's a bit like pulling

:02:44. > :02:48.apart a pair of curtains. Permanent implants are put in place

:02:49. > :02:52.to hold the excess tissue away, That's the tube that carries

:02:53. > :02:57.urine from the bladder. There's no need for a general

:02:58. > :03:13.anaesthetic or an overnight stay. It will reduce those symptoms of

:03:14. > :03:17.difficulty being, slow flow, having 2p frequently to empty them later

:03:18. > :03:18.because one person doesn't do it all.

:03:19. > :03:21.Until recently this operation has only been available privately,

:03:22. > :03:27.but recently twelve patients have received it at Southmead Hospital

:03:28. > :03:30.as part of an evaluation trial and it very much depends

:03:31. > :03:33.on where you live as to whether you may get it.

:03:34. > :03:34.In Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire a 10-patient

:03:35. > :03:40.In Somerset there are early discussions to start a trial at

:03:41. > :04:01.There are no plans for the procedure at Bath's Royal United

:04:02. > :04:05.a 10-patient trial was completed at Salisbury Hospital on 24th March

:04:06. > :04:07.and it should be routinely available from April.

:04:08. > :04:09.Chris Monkton has spoken out about his condition as he wants

:04:10. > :04:11.more men to be offered this life-changing surgery.

:04:12. > :04:16.Now I've had the UroLift, I'm fixed, I no longer have to carry catheters

:04:17. > :04:19.around, I'm not getting up in the night, it takes complete

:04:20. > :04:21.transformation and I'm happy. But with the NHS under

:04:22. > :04:23.huge financial pressure, it may take a long time for that

:04:24. > :04:26.to become a reality. And we're joined by

:04:27. > :04:42.the consultant who you saw It sounds almost too good to be

:04:43. > :04:47.true. That's the instantaneous response I had, but it's an

:04:48. > :04:53.operation that does not involve cutting through an organ which is

:04:54. > :04:56.rich in blood vessels and that's the main advantage, especially for the

:04:57. > :05:03.elderly who commonly have this ailment. There is no bleeding, no

:05:04. > :05:11.need to stay in hospital for two or three days, it's done under

:05:12. > :05:15.anaesthetic and it works. So are the days of men taking pills to reduce

:05:16. > :05:21.the size of it and getting up three or four times in the night over? I

:05:22. > :05:25.don't think there are over but we always start with Pelz, but they can

:05:26. > :05:34.have side attacks. For younger men it may affect sexual function and in

:05:35. > :05:40.this procedure we stay away from the vessel important for sexual

:05:41. > :05:47.function. Will Davila solve the available for everyone eventually?

:05:48. > :05:50.It's gone through all the scrutiny and regulatory approval so I think

:05:51. > :05:57.we will see it spreading throughout the country. There are already

:05:58. > :06:03.centres doing it regularly and we are doing it at Southmead. The old

:06:04. > :06:10.operation will still be necessary for certain types of prostate, the

:06:11. > :06:15.large ones or ones with funny configurations but I think this is a

:06:16. > :06:19.very good procedure that will help men get over things quickly and get

:06:20. > :06:27.back to life without having troublesome affects. Is it expensive

:06:28. > :06:33.for the NHS? It's a much cheaper procedure both in terms of the time

:06:34. > :06:40.in theatre, occupancy of beds and the equipment, so we reckon it saves

:06:41. > :06:43.about ?1000 per procedure, so if you have an equivalent operation that

:06:44. > :06:50.saves money, there is another advantage. I guess many men over 50

:06:51. > :06:56.get the symptoms but it may not always be the ninth so it's sensible

:06:57. > :07:01.to get it checked out anyway. It's sensible to go through the right

:07:02. > :07:04.pathway and rule out other conditions and the one people are

:07:05. > :07:09.most worried about is prostate cancer. There is ten times the ratio

:07:10. > :07:17.of men who have the pH than cancer but it is worth having that checked

:07:18. > :07:19.out. It sounds like a worthwhile operation. Thank you.

:07:20. > :07:22.Well, it's lovely to have your company this Thursday evening.

:07:23. > :07:24.It's David and Liz with tonight's Points West.

:07:25. > :07:29.We meet the puppet master from Somerset getting offers

:07:30. > :07:44.And today was the warmest day of the year so far. It will be a fresher

:07:45. > :07:46.and cooler story tomorrow. Details towards the end of the programme.

:07:47. > :07:49.The actions of an employment agency in the West have been described

:07:50. > :07:54.James Heappey, the MP for Wells, has taken on the case of a computer

:07:55. > :07:57.programmer whose offer of a job interview was withdrawn

:07:58. > :08:01.when he told them he was blind and used a guide dog.

:08:02. > :08:04.The agency are refusing to reveal the name of the company involved,

:08:05. > :08:07.but that hasn't stopped the matter being referred to the government's

:08:08. > :08:18.Ian Brooks, from Glastonbury, meeting with his MP today.

:08:19. > :08:21.Mr Brooks was approached about a computer programming job

:08:22. > :08:24.by an employment agency called Vector Resourcing

:08:25. > :08:31.But after finding out he was blind Mr Brooks got a call back to say

:08:32. > :08:34.the company no longer wished to interview him.

:08:35. > :08:38.For someone to want me and then turn me away

:08:39. > :08:40.because of my disability, it's one of

:08:41. > :08:48.The company said they were unable to accommodate Mr Brooks' guide dog

:08:49. > :08:52.but discriminating against a blind person for having a guide

:08:53. > :08:57.Vector Resourcing, who are based in offices here on the outskirts

:08:58. > :09:01.of Malmesbury, have so far refused to tell Mr Brooks the name

:09:02. > :09:06.Not knowing the company's name means it's impossible for him

:09:07. > :09:14.I've also contacted Vector Resourcing on Mr Brooks'

:09:15. > :09:16.behalf but they've refused to speak to me too.

:09:17. > :09:21.It cannot be the case that equalities legislation can be

:09:22. > :09:26.defeated so easily as a third party recruitment agency hiding behind

:09:27. > :09:29.data protection or whatever else they are hiding behind for not

:09:30. > :09:32.revealing the name of a company who have clearly breached

:09:33. > :09:37.The Royal National Institute of Blind People has agreed to pay

:09:38. > :09:42.They're also keen to remind employers that any extra costs

:09:43. > :09:45.incurred making their workplace accessible to those

:09:46. > :09:50.with disabilities can be claimed back from the government.

:09:51. > :09:54.If I had my choice and lived my life again I wouldn't have a disability.

:09:55. > :09:58.I always wanted to serve my country but I've never been able

:09:59. > :10:03.to so I chose computers as my line and it's something I can do.

:10:04. > :10:07.Mr Brooks hopes by making a stand he'll make employers think twice

:10:08. > :10:16.about turning people away because of their disabilities.

:10:17. > :10:18.And we'll let you know what action the Equalities

:10:19. > :10:24.Parents of students from across Bristol are meeting

:10:25. > :10:26.tonight to fight Government plans to change the way

:10:27. > :10:32.A consultation on a new spending formula ended last week -

:10:33. > :10:34.with some gaining and others losing out.

:10:35. > :10:38.Overall, Bristol schools will get slightly less money.

:10:39. > :10:44.Martin Jones is at the meeting for us tonight.

:10:45. > :10:48.These are mostly parents from Fairfield High School,

:10:49. > :11:03.This is the amount of money they are concerned that each school could

:11:04. > :11:09.lose and some of the cuts they fear could be coming. The meeting is just

:11:10. > :11:18.getting under way and plenty of people there. And they are also

:11:19. > :11:21.concerned about some of the cuts already taking place in the West.

:11:22. > :11:23.Schools across the West say they're under pressure.

:11:24. > :11:25.The government is introducing a new system of funding -

:11:26. > :11:28.So while this class learns about Dickens -

:11:29. > :11:30.the head teacher is getting ready for financial Hard Times.

:11:31. > :11:34.Over 20,000 secondary school students will lose as a result

:11:35. > :11:42.When you consider that as a school we sit in

:11:43. > :11:46.one of the lowest funded counties, to be losing 2.5% takes the meaning

:11:47. > :11:50.out of the term fair when associated with fairer funding formula.

:11:51. > :11:53.But the new formula is only part of the problem.

:11:54. > :11:56.Even schools which gain under the new proposal are worried

:11:57. > :12:00.because rising costs will be more than the increased funding.

:12:01. > :12:05.We've cut back on our support staff and maintenance is cut to the bare

:12:06. > :12:07.minimum for safeguarding and health and safety,

:12:08. > :12:15.The most painful cut is a reduction in teaching time at A Level.

:12:16. > :12:18.The government insists it is listening.

:12:19. > :12:22.Schools minister Nick Gibb recently visited Swindon,

:12:23. > :12:25.saying they're protecting funding while tackling the deficit.

:12:26. > :12:27.We have protected school funding in real terms.

:12:28. > :12:31.We're spending ?40 billion on school funding, the highest ever amount

:12:32. > :12:34.we've ever spent in this country on our school system

:12:35. > :12:39.As pupil numbers increase, so will that funding increase.

:12:40. > :12:42.But for many there's still too little money in the system.

:12:43. > :12:45.Unions and even the Commons Public Accounts Committee say major

:12:46. > :12:51.That's something Simon and Terry know all about,

:12:52. > :12:55.recently made redundant from their jobs in drama and PE.

:12:56. > :12:59.Nobody's ever in a job for life but it felt after 30 years

:13:00. > :13:05.of loyalty to one establishment, it was very difficult

:13:06. > :13:10.Cuts to subjects are already happening elsewhere too.

:13:11. > :13:13.Seven out of ten South West schools who replied to a survey

:13:14. > :13:17.from a teachers' association said they were reducing their curriculum.

:13:18. > :13:25.Design, German, Drama and Music were the most common GCSEs to go.

:13:26. > :13:29.Schools try to protect core subjects like English and Maths.

:13:30. > :13:31.The problem is, many now say they can't make

:13:32. > :13:48.What's interesting about a meeting like this is the same groups of

:13:49. > :13:54.parents across Bristol getting organised. There are two other

:13:55. > :13:57.meetings in the next wake of parents concerned about the effect of

:13:58. > :14:02.spending cuts on their skills and the organisers hope this will become

:14:03. > :14:08.a bigger movement. There's so much to discuss about education that the

:14:09. > :14:11.Sunday Politics are doing a special feature on this weekend. You can see

:14:12. > :14:15.that on Sunday at 11 a.m.. One of Swindon's main roads

:14:16. > :14:18.was closed today after a gas leak The Great Western Way was shut

:14:19. > :14:22.for more than an hour after contractors cut through a gas

:14:23. > :14:25.pipe on the estate this morning. Firecrews were called and a nearby

:14:26. > :14:27.factory had to be evacuated while the work was carried out

:14:28. > :14:29.to fix it. People with breathing

:14:30. > :14:31.problems in the Freshbrook, Toothill and Grange Park areas

:14:32. > :14:34.were told to stay indoors Wiltshire-based armoured vehicles

:14:35. > :14:42.are leaving the UK today as part of a big military

:14:43. > :14:44.deployment to Estonia. Earlier this month more than 100

:14:45. > :14:46.soldiers from the 5th Battalion, The Rifles, based at Bulford Camp

:14:47. > :14:50.arrived to bolster Nato Defences. The Nato operation is to reassure

:14:51. > :14:55.eastern European members in case Imagine, almost every night,

:14:56. > :15:03.having the same recurring nightmare about a traumatic event that you've

:15:04. > :15:06.witnessed and always It's a common symptom of PTSD

:15:07. > :15:13.in military veterans. Well, now a Cheltenham therapist

:15:14. > :15:16.is getting positive results by actually changing the nightmare,

:15:17. > :15:19.allowing veterans at last Here's our Gloucestershire

:15:20. > :15:26.reporter, Steve Knibbs. It's not his real name but Peter

:15:27. > :15:30.was woken up almost every night by a recurring nightmare reliving

:15:31. > :15:32.the moment he saw his friend Right at the end there's a clang

:15:33. > :15:39.like a gong, a bell. It was a large propeller

:15:40. > :15:41.and I mean large. In his own words he said the lack

:15:42. > :15:48.of sleep turned him into an ogre. Irritable to everyone,

:15:49. > :15:51.including children and grandchildren, wife,

:15:52. > :15:54.next-door neighbour, It's often a difficult cycle to get

:15:55. > :15:59.out of but Justin Havens has been researching a technique called

:16:00. > :16:02.Planned Dream Intervention - effectively teaching the brain

:16:03. > :16:05.to change the nightmare. Resetting their sleep cycle,

:16:06. > :16:08.if you like, and you do it by creating something

:16:09. > :16:12.for your dream, something to allow The reason people are waking up

:16:13. > :16:16.is because the dream is not continuing, normally because there's

:16:17. > :16:19.something horrific happening. Justin's three-year research

:16:20. > :16:24.involved over 100 UK veterans suffering with PTSD and over half

:16:25. > :16:25.saw improvement One solider dreamt every night

:16:26. > :16:30.that he was being chased and woke up when he was jumped on and dragged

:16:31. > :16:33.to the ground. He would often fight

:16:34. > :16:36.his wife in bed. But he changed the scene to a rugby

:16:37. > :16:39.match where where he was running with the ball, then tackled

:16:40. > :16:42.to the ground but went over the line to score a try with opponents

:16:43. > :16:45.still hanging on to him So we're priming the dream process,

:16:46. > :16:49.giving it a shot in the arm, We're not doing anything magical

:16:50. > :16:54.or mysterious, just helping Magical and mysterious it may

:16:55. > :17:00.not be, but for Peter changing his nightmares changed him

:17:01. > :17:03.for the better. It turned the gong sound

:17:04. > :17:08.from being a horrible expression, the death knell, to a dinner gong

:17:09. > :17:13.or cathedral bells I'm not feeling guilty anymore,

:17:14. > :17:33.I'm not feeling unpleasant. Justin's now writing up his research

:17:34. > :17:37.and plans to share it not just with military charities but also

:17:38. > :17:39.others who help those Last November we revealed

:17:40. > :17:49.the pressure that some agency drivers were under,

:17:50. > :17:53.delivering parcels for Amazon. The investigation, which was carried

:17:54. > :17:56.out by Inside Out West, revealed illegally long hours and pay well

:17:57. > :18:01.under the minimum wage. Well, since then more than 50

:18:02. > :18:03.drivers from all over the country have got

:18:04. > :18:05.in touch saying they'd had similar experiences.

:18:06. > :18:12.Seb Choudhury reports. Six months ago Inside Out West went

:18:13. > :18:14.undercover at We gathered disturbing evidence that

:18:15. > :18:21.some agency drivers for the biggest online retailer in the world

:18:22. > :18:25.were being exploited. We had one guy that he hadn't

:18:26. > :18:29.had a single day off for three months solid,

:18:30. > :18:33.so that was constant seven days a week for three months

:18:34. > :18:39.driving on the roads. After the programme

:18:40. > :18:44.we were inundated with messages from all over the country

:18:45. > :18:47.from people who had worked as Amazon I was always running late

:18:48. > :19:00.because there were too many stops and had to break traffic rules

:19:01. > :19:02.and other stuff that The only way to knock time off

:19:03. > :19:11.is to break the law by speeding. Amazon don't care about the drivers

:19:12. > :19:13.and give impossible deadlines and as for asking for a day

:19:14. > :19:16.off, forget it. How was the response

:19:17. > :19:22.when the programme went out? The contact I got from drivers

:19:23. > :19:29.was amazing, to be honest. The words they were saying to me,

:19:30. > :19:33.they kept thanking me for standing It was quite emotional

:19:34. > :19:42.as well, to be honest. And you can see the full

:19:43. > :19:57.story on Inside Out West tomorrow night at 7:30pm -

:19:58. > :20:00.they've moved from their usual And we should add that the original

:20:01. > :20:04.investigation recently gained the team a Royal Television Society

:20:05. > :20:06.award. Katy Perry has been unveiled as one

:20:07. > :20:22.of the acts who will play this Part of the line-up was announced

:20:23. > :20:26.today and the singer took to social media to say she was looking forward

:20:27. > :20:29.to tea and crumpets Music lovers have been divided

:20:30. > :20:32.with some saying the line-up is the best in years and others

:20:33. > :20:44.saying the festival has moved Enjoying the weather and tea and

:20:45. > :20:49.crumpets? She doesn't know what she's let herself in for. I'm

:20:50. > :20:52.looking forward to going. Are you going?

:20:53. > :20:57.I haven't decided. Students from Gloucester

:20:58. > :20:59.are at Silverstone this evening, trying to win

:21:00. > :21:04.a national racing competition. A team from The Crypt School has

:21:05. > :21:07.made a mini Formula One car, which has been tested against others

:21:08. > :21:09.from across the country. But this competition

:21:10. > :21:11.isn't just about speed. A year's worth of work

:21:12. > :21:15.sits on the start line. And Nathan is in

:21:16. > :21:20.charge of the button. Anxious faces as the students from

:21:21. > :21:25.Gloucester wait for their little car to travel 20 metres in just over a

:21:26. > :21:27.second. That's twice as fast as Usain Bolt.

:21:28. > :21:29.It's nerve-racking, we've all put in loads

:21:30. > :21:31.of sleepless nights on this, we've worried so much,

:21:32. > :21:34.we were up until 3am the other night just finishing everything off

:21:35. > :21:37.and making sure we were happy with it, so we've all

:21:51. > :21:56.This is Formula One racing - just smaller.

:21:57. > :21:59.Those blocks have been made into cars by 30 teams who have come

:22:00. > :22:05.Now they're going against each other to finish

:22:06. > :22:11.But this competition isn't just about speed but design,

:22:12. > :22:16.the sponsorship the team has managed to get and how it presents itself.

:22:17. > :22:20.The F1 teams are very close by so we had four teams coming

:22:21. > :22:22.to have a look around, meet the students and present some

:22:23. > :22:29.It's an opportunity for them to take a look at what we're developing

:22:30. > :22:32.as an organisation so they can support it in a bigger way

:22:33. > :22:36.to attract more students and make the pool much bigger

:22:37. > :22:52.Unfortunately, the team from Gloucester didn't make the podium.

:22:53. > :22:57.Disappointing but we all put in a lot of hard work, a lot of sleepless

:22:58. > :23:01.nights. Could have gone better but waiting for the scorecards,

:23:02. > :23:05.hopefully better than last year. It's now hoped that the skills they

:23:06. > :23:11.learned from making this could one day be used to make something more

:23:12. > :23:14.like this. I thought that would have a happy

:23:15. > :23:19.ending! Such passion. That's life, guys,

:23:20. > :23:27.live to fight another day. An animator turned

:23:28. > :23:28.puppeteer has won ?50,000 Barnaby Dixon has created his

:23:29. > :23:32.own puppets and films He's already getting interest

:23:33. > :23:35.from international programme makers. So I finally finished the puppet

:23:40. > :23:41.the unique creation by Barnaby Dixon With the dancing Manu,

:23:42. > :23:45.Barnaby went on to win the Germany I won ?50,000, which is a lot

:23:46. > :23:51.of money but that will go towards equipment, towards lawyers'

:23:52. > :23:55.fees in terms of Barnaby studied animation

:23:56. > :24:02.but decided to build puppets around his hands

:24:03. > :24:04.so that he could make To do that motion, that's

:24:05. > :24:10.a day's work in stop motion which is insane,

:24:11. > :24:13.whereas this, it happens as quickly as you can perform

:24:14. > :24:15.it, so fairly cheap. So far he's relied on crowdfunding

:24:16. > :24:19.to support his work. It's meant he can spend hours

:24:20. > :24:23.creating characters like Dinosaur. When you're in control

:24:24. > :24:26.of every aspect of creation, you are the authority

:24:27. > :24:29.and its very freeing. Along with the character

:24:30. > :24:31.Dabchick, Barnaby has made The good news is, we're

:24:49. > :24:51.you can make a living doing anything, if you find

:24:52. > :25:15.a way to make it viable, Isn't that clever? I have a feeling

:25:16. > :25:23.we will hear a lot more from him. There were rumours of highs of 18

:25:24. > :25:27.today. Did they come through? They did, 19 Celsius, not as high as we

:25:28. > :25:33.saw towards the south-east of England but the warmest day of the

:25:34. > :25:38.year so far. Tomorrow will be characterised by fresher and cooler

:25:39. > :25:42.weather, but would you have any sunshine it will still feel

:25:43. > :25:47.comparatively warm and there will be some rain, some of that showery to

:25:48. > :25:52.the first part of the day and as we get later on to wards the evening

:25:53. > :25:58.and through the evening, but most of you will enjoy a lengthy spell of

:25:59. > :26:04.dry and bright weather. We have some light showers running in from the

:26:05. > :26:08.South West associated with a high level cloud and in the early as a

:26:09. > :26:13.week-old front from the South West will set up tomorrow morning with

:26:14. > :26:18.some light rain but there was a fair stretch of the day were it looks the

:26:19. > :26:23.opposite in terms of a balance towards a lot of dry weather. At the

:26:24. > :26:27.moment, although your reader apps might show a lot of showers around,

:26:28. > :26:33.not all of that is reaching the ground but the second half of the

:26:34. > :26:37.night will usher in a greater threat showery rain. Temperatures around

:26:38. > :26:43.tonight after ten or 12, a breezy story tomorrow and then once we

:26:44. > :26:48.clear that first phase of showery rain, the rest of the day for the

:26:49. > :26:53.majority will be bright, varying amounts of cloud and sunny spells,

:26:54. > :26:57.occasional showers but many areas on a stretch of dry conditions which

:26:58. > :27:03.will last into the evening and then we will bring in the renewed threat

:27:04. > :27:09.of further rain in the evening and overnight into Saturday.

:27:10. > :27:13.Temperatures tomorrow at the town on today, then Saturday will be a

:27:14. > :27:19.classic day of sun and showers, some of those showers will be heavy,

:27:20. > :27:23.possibly some thunder and hail, but towards the West a ridge of high

:27:24. > :27:29.pressure builds so we will have a weekend off to have speakers Sunday

:27:30. > :27:36.is looking settled, dry and fine. I don't think I got 18 degrees today.

:27:37. > :27:42.I had my own personal cloud! That's it from us. I'm back at 10pm with an

:27:43. > :27:53.app base but otherwise see you tomorrow. Thank you
