Of adaptations. We took a wall and started writing all over the Different Things on the wall we thought drones were going to be used for. We came up with a lot of the common commercial ones we talked about here. Then we also kind of had a section of the wall where we wanted to come up with some of the things that we hoped and we wanted to see drones really used for. And aerial delivery of medicines. And those are two examples that we have been involved in since. Any other one of the interesting requests we got early days, walmart found us and they asked us if this is something they publicly talk about. They do, they use satellite imagery to figure out how many people go to the stores.
