Hello Peter and George thanks for another opportunity to ask questions. First question is regarding your recent patents. You just announced a patent approval in Europe and I saw this one Method And Apparatus For Producing Fine Spherical Powders From Coarse And Angular Powder Feed Material DORVAL DION; Christopher Alex ;   et al. [PYROGENESIS CANADA INC.] (uspto.report) as well, can you expand on the patents and how important you feel they will be. To me they both seem significant and seem to give you advantages and open up new opportunities in powders.  Second question is about your comment in the november financials that you are " selectively considering strategic alliances with technologies/technology providers" to help accelerate becoming a world leader in GHG emmisions reduction. Can you comment on where you stand with these discussions? Thanks again.
