Well, I would always look to the ICA pediatric council Stu. I have had the absolute pleasure of being involved with that council for probably at least a good fifteen years. I graduated from the first program in 1996 and I have been active with the council and held a position within the council for probably the last, I don't know, maybe 13 to 15 years. But the one firm foundation that that council stands on is excellence in education. It is the number one goal of the ICA pediatric council to provide education to our fellow brothers and sisters in chiropractic that is responsible, reliable, and result proven over time. We are founded on academics and education because the first and foremost goal for us is to let us be chiropractors and let us influence the health and welfare of children. But do it with the upmost safety. So the ICA pediatric council is a great reference. There are textbooks out there on pediatrics that are great reference sources. But those are the areas that I would go to. I would look at, if you're a chiropractor getting pediatric education, I would look at who is giving this seminar, and also what are the credentials behind the doctor giving this seminar? Because I think that's important too, do they have post-graduate training? Do they have post-graduate certification? Are they a diplomate within pediatrics? Are they a fellow within pediatrics? Because those would be the doctors out there that are on the cutting edge of the research as well as the care of children. You mentioned the ICA pediatric council. Again, near and dear to me. I've been an ICA member and supporter since I was a student, so we're talking probably in the high 30 years range. And I've spoken at the pediatric council in the past. And I do find what you said, that it is more academic. Just like we're trying to bring to the table today. There are other groups out there, no doubt, and anything that we're discussing is not any disparaging thing to anybody else. But I do see that there is a different emphasis. A different focus on not just the marketing approach and yeah, let's take care of kids. But as you called it the academics of it in terms of how. Not just why. Once we know the why we should be willing to do whatever it takes to learn the how. And that's what I think may be unique and different about the ICA's pediatric council. And I do want to put a plug in for them because it has been so important to me personally as an individual within the profession and as a member of the ICA, to be proud of that organization and how long it has been doing what it's been doing. Others have popped up and they've become very very popular. And popular is great, but foundation is critical. And that's what I think you're bringing to the table today. As maybe you didn't come as a representative of the ICA pediatric council, but you happen to be one. So I want to not exclude that in any way, because let's face it, we are the ICA program, Chiro Secure, and you happen to be just as dedicated as I am in a different area and a different approach. And I love you for that, and I have nothing but encouragement. No matter what anyone has done in the pediatric world, that they do get involved in the ICA pediatric council. They should be a member and they should take the courses and learn this information, which is something that you triggered in my head when I asked the question.
