On board presentations or sales pitch is students and teacher he -- it to educate their kindergartners -- college.

But we've also seen a huge influx of these thirteen million unemployed people using.

You're just saying that people are -- to use this as a way to amp up the presentation so one of the things they -- say is to write a love letter what does that mean.

Yes or write a love letter is is exactly what you brought up earlier it's how do you stand out and get their attention.
