Thomas,

As I explained previously, I did Google. I found no legitimate reference for the numbers you cite.

Can you provide the link to the website from which you took those numbers?

I know you are able to cut and paste because that was necessary for you to post the numbers.

Go to the cite again and cut the website address that comes up in the search at the top of your
screen.

Then paste here.

Thank you,
Sharon
