Hello,

I received this message (see below) - I'm not fully qualified to answer
it.

Yasmani Ceballos Izquierdo also forwarded to pictures (which I can't
send to the list, but which I can forward to anyone who wants to take
a peek).

Her e-mail address is: [log in to unmask]

Thanks,

-Jonas Weselake-George
