1
00:00:00,780 --> 00:00:02,700
i think people are always quite surprised

2
00:00:02,730 --> 00:00:04,890
by the highlands and the

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,150
the results that we do get don't

4
00:00:09,390 --> 00:00:12,240
believe the stereotype the highlands college has

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,090
because that's one thing i had which

6
00:00:15,090 --> 00:00:16,800
is why i originally didn't consider it

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,350
at all when i was choosing whether

8
00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:20,910
i wanted to do a levels or

9
00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:23,610
c level three and i just thought

10
00:00:23,610 --> 00:00:25,710
the level three courses were just underneath

11
00:00:25,710 --> 00:00:26,160
the levels

12
00:00:26,260 --> 00:00:28,710
they're not they're exactly the same and

13
00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:31,050
they just run differently and that's that's

14
00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:32,220
all i'd say because

15
00:00:33,540 --> 00:00:36,570
this has been probably the best decision

16
00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:38,850
i've ever made since all the last

17
00:00:39,180 --> 00:00:41,490
team bulls team that we're now how

18
00:00:41,490 --> 00:00:44,100
many of those x seven on pitch

19
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,830
came from what high school so to

20
00:00:46,830 --> 00:00:49,050
me not the eleven so that's how

21
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,311
good we are in small recognize probably

22
00:00:51,330 --> 00:00:53,340
two forward pass how many you have

23
00:00:53,550 --> 00:00:55,470
the highest level within the young age

24
00:00:55,470 --> 00:00:58,350
of playing doing or managing taking control

25
00:00:58,350 --> 00:01:00,000
of something is going to be highest

26
00:01:00,750 --> 00:01:01,830
we hope that by the end of

27
00:01:01,830 --> 00:01:03,690
the short video you'll have more of

28
00:01:03,690 --> 00:01:05,460
an idea about what the college has

29
00:01:05,460 --> 00:01:07,350
to offer whether it's the right fit

30
00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:09,090
for you and how you can go

31
00:01:09,090 --> 00:01:10,830
about applying for a place with us

32
00:01:11,550 --> 00:01:13,592
it's the people a highlands college that

33
00:01:13,592 --> 00:01:13,680
mm

34
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,690
make it so special and so we

35
00:01:15,690 --> 00:01:17,910
wanted to introduce you to highlands in

36
00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:18,720
their words

37
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,550
absolutely nothing i saw excited up in

38
00:01:35,550 --> 00:01:35,790
wanting

39
00:01:37,260 --> 00:01:38,340
i was quite worried to be honest

40
00:01:38,340 --> 00:01:40,170
because i didn't know a single person

41
00:01:40,302 --> 00:01:42,090
going to go into islands and my

42
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,520
first thought was an oil so excited

43
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,749
to go again the next day i'm

44
00:01:45,750 --> 00:01:46,140
still around

45
00:01:52,380 --> 00:01:54,120
so students will need to in the

46
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,999
first instance go to close teachers and

47
00:01:56,999 --> 00:01:58,770
speak to them about auto is that

48
00:01:58,770 --> 00:02:00,420
they are thinking of doing what they've

49
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:03,960
left school and alternatively they can also

50
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,640
go on our website and have a

51
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,810
look at the courses that we have

52
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:07,350
available

53
00:02:08,906 --> 00:02:10,470
they then need to complete an application

54
00:02:10,470 --> 00:02:12,270
form which can be done through our

55
00:02:12,270 --> 00:02:16,650
website as well and that is a

56
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,290
framework on that person statement so students

57
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,775
can tell us why is it they

58
00:02:21,775 --> 00:02:24,150
not contains and what course they want

59
00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:25,890
to do and how it's going to

60
00:02:26,370 --> 00:02:27,900
prepare them for a future career

61
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:29,730
i would quite like to place your

62
00:02:29,730 --> 00:02:33,540
candle cyclops go to union tivo like

63
00:02:33,540 --> 00:02:36,330
media or some sort of journalism for

64
00:02:37,410 --> 00:02:37,980
entertaining

65
00:02:40,380 --> 00:02:43,438
until one good sign is when i'm

66
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,600
older i'll be in my data

67
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:49,140
being the police to come or that

68
00:02:49,140 --> 00:02:51,360
last i'm gonna go to uni and

69
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,680
then off the uni i want to

70
00:02:52,709 --> 00:02:54,599
maybe do a masters in sociology university

71
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,490
goes either one will come a plumber

72
00:02:56,490 --> 00:02:59,070
or electrician because i've find us good

73
00:02:59,070 --> 00:03:01,980
money at it's it's it's fun the

74
00:03:02,010 --> 00:03:03,255
range of courses that we have at

75
00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:05,280
college are pretty varied

76
00:03:06,150 --> 00:03:07,770
i'm making these kinds of decisions at

77
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,230
about fifteen sixteen is is is difficult

78
00:03:10,860 --> 00:03:14,730
um so the college has a process

79
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:17,820
called right choice review where students have

80
00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:20,760
the first four or five weeks to

81
00:03:21,420 --> 00:03:24,660
come into college and follow the timetable

82
00:03:24,660 --> 00:03:25,770
as they as the words

83
00:03:26,310 --> 00:03:29,040
um and you know think about the

84
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,750
time that they're spending here on that

85
00:03:30,750 --> 00:03:32,638
course and learning about that vacation and

86
00:03:32,638 --> 00:03:33,750
where they will not get actually is

87
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:35,490
the right thing for them but here

88
00:03:35,490 --> 00:03:37,350
the opportunity to see a second area

89
00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:38,490
and and then if we feel that

90
00:03:38,490 --> 00:03:39,627
it's the right move for them then

91
00:03:39,630 --> 00:03:41,760
we'll support them with that move highlands

92
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,740
has so many opportunities to pursue what

93
00:03:43,740 --> 00:03:46,140
you want you know childcare hairdressing

94
00:03:46,380 --> 00:03:49,050
digital games anything you want highlands probably

95
00:03:49,050 --> 00:03:52,350
does so don't limit yourself to certain

96
00:03:52,350 --> 00:03:54,210
places choose what you want to do

97
00:03:54,210 --> 00:03:54,780
and your future

98
00:04:00,420 --> 00:04:03,630
the staff are amazing and everyone actually

99
00:04:03,630 --> 00:04:05,730
has highlands college running through their veins

100
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,950
that people in your class are there

101
00:04:07,950 --> 00:04:10,710
because they're passionate about the subject and

102
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:13,020
i find that school was great for

103
00:04:13,020 --> 00:04:15,690
me but you're often all sort of

104
00:04:15,690 --> 00:04:16,080
pushed in

105
00:04:16,110 --> 00:04:17,790
tall and class number if you want

106
00:04:17,790 --> 00:04:19,440
to be there or not especially before

107
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,920
gcc is um whereas have an opportunity

108
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,270
to make a choice to go to

109
00:04:24,270 --> 00:04:26,820
college it means that you're passionate or

110
00:04:26,820 --> 00:04:28,140
you want to do as a futurity

111
00:04:28,140 --> 00:04:29,760
what those skills so everyone knows there

112
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,260
because they want to be numb because

113
00:04:31,260 --> 00:04:33,270
they have to be there i always

114
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:35,760
found it quite important like the specializing

115
00:04:35,776 --> 00:04:36,240
something

116
00:04:36,330 --> 00:04:37,555
because i feel like i drove and

117
00:04:37,555 --> 00:04:39,240
just not do a bunch of stuff

118
00:04:39,540 --> 00:04:41,370
i'm a writer and one thing i'm

119
00:04:41,370 --> 00:04:43,110
previewed i'd rather just put all my

120
00:04:43,170 --> 00:04:45,660
attention to that one thing i'm good

121
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:47,400
at and focus on it and build

122
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,350
on that goes i enjoy doing it

123
00:04:50,670 --> 00:04:53,040
chose the carbines college because i knew

124
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,290
that the quarter was very hands-on i

125
00:04:55,290 --> 00:04:58,140
chose highlands because um it had more

126
00:04:58,140 --> 00:05:00,240
opportunities and the other school had both

127
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,620
while i was doing my future when

128
00:05:01,620 --> 00:05:03,240
you look at the option to our

129
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,480
fuels this completely different environment secretary you

130
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,770
get treated more like nano and it

131
00:05:07,770 --> 00:05:09,540
gives you a different perspective on how

132
00:05:10,050 --> 00:05:10,560
the invite

133
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,660
payment can be and how life is

134
00:05:12,690 --> 00:05:15,630
really it's a really diverse and inclusive

135
00:05:15,870 --> 00:05:19,350
community i'm a very creative person so

136
00:05:19,380 --> 00:05:21,240
as cater towards that quite a lot

137
00:05:21,322 --> 00:05:23,160
when it comes to written work i've

138
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,620
had so much help if that is

139
00:05:25,620 --> 00:05:27,540
something i struggle with but highlands can't

140
00:05:27,540 --> 00:05:29,160
do enough to help me and push

141
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,450
me to get through this course and

142
00:05:30,450 --> 00:05:30,720
it's been

143
00:05:30,750 --> 00:05:31,290
amazing

144
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,260
because i find highland masses more of

145
00:05:34,260 --> 00:05:34,530
ah

146
00:05:35,970 --> 00:05:38,790
hands on and academic but not more

147
00:05:38,790 --> 00:05:40,885
hands on the most schools modules to

148
00:05:40,885 --> 00:05:42,840
go to highlands because i'm offered a

149
00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:44,790
cost i was genuinely interested in where

150
00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:48,480
it's definitely been more interactive more enjoyable

151
00:05:48,750 --> 00:05:50,970
completely different and i've enjoyed ah now

152
00:05:50,970 --> 00:05:52,350
i know why one kind of take

153
00:05:52,350 --> 00:05:54,690
on and do as an adult or

154
00:05:54,690 --> 00:05:55,851
something is quite vocational

155
00:05:55,980 --> 00:05:57,870
practical that would give me not only

156
00:05:57,870 --> 00:05:58,560
like um

157
00:05:59,550 --> 00:06:01,200
written a better te but also like

158
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,840
practical abilities like why learn here is

159
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:04,950
and is not something i could ever

160
00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:07,050
learn and the other school and i

161
00:06:07,050 --> 00:06:10,650
appreciate that now highlands have so many

162
00:06:10,650 --> 00:06:13,590
different paths for you to choose that

163
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:15,570
there's a wide range of opportunities to

164
00:06:15,570 --> 00:06:17,850
try elephant and the good thing is

165
00:06:17,850 --> 00:06:19,440
with ah is this

166
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,000
is the suitable course view at the

167
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,770
beginning of the course if something isn't

168
00:06:22,770 --> 00:06:24,840
right that's that opportunity to pull away

169
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,610
and then start on a new course

170
00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:28,470
was inferences if you were doing a

171
00:06:28,470 --> 00:06:30,660
levels it would be exceptionally difficult to

172
00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:33,600
change course and go onto something else

173
00:06:33,810 --> 00:06:35,880
so highlands make sure that you go

174
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,850
into something that you're passionate about and

175
00:06:38,850 --> 00:06:39,600
if you're not

176
00:06:39,990 --> 00:06:41,490
then we'll put you onto another route

177
00:06:49,230 --> 00:06:50,640
i was in the highlands thinking it

178
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,690
was going to be like white like

179
00:06:51,690 --> 00:06:53,910
somewhat similar to holier or canada by

180
00:06:53,978 --> 00:06:55,260
a minute it's nothing like it and

181
00:06:55,260 --> 00:06:56,640
i'm much further that way i still

182
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,830
get my my learning done but just

183
00:06:58,830 --> 00:07:00,360
feel more relaxed doing it without the

184
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,580
stress of exam by visiting like seven

185
00:07:02,580 --> 00:07:04,560
of us eragon this year compared to

186
00:07:04,740 --> 00:07:06,442
like most other classes i've ever been

187
00:07:06,450 --> 00:07:07,560
which is like twenty plus

188
00:07:08,250 --> 00:07:10,200
i like that it's more small comfortable

189
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,420
that the the class is always there

190
00:07:12,420 --> 00:07:13,530
to help each other as well because

191
00:07:13,620 --> 00:07:16,200
where someone struggles there's always another person

192
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,570
who knows exactly what they're doing or

193
00:07:18,570 --> 00:07:20,730
surprise your items as the classroom atmosphere

194
00:07:20,730 --> 00:07:23,790
about the different secondary schools they have

195
00:07:23,790 --> 00:07:25,740
a genuine passion for they're doing it's

196
00:07:25,770 --> 00:07:27,090
not just doing it for the sake

197
00:07:27,090 --> 00:07:28,050
of doing it it's doing

198
00:07:28,170 --> 00:07:30,390
because you enjoy it you don't do

199
00:07:30,390 --> 00:07:32,910
a uniforms committee look anyway you want

200
00:07:32,910 --> 00:07:34,890
to and nobody really judges her because

201
00:07:34,890 --> 00:07:35,910
i was just getting on with their

202
00:07:35,910 --> 00:07:38,460
own work that's just a mutual respect

203
00:07:38,460 --> 00:07:40,530
between teacher and student it doesn't feel

204
00:07:40,530 --> 00:07:42,300
like it feels like you can talk

205
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:43,680
to them instead of you know being

206
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,080
afraid to ask the question is insular

207
00:07:46,083 --> 00:07:47,640
for you just go talk to them

208
00:07:47,790 --> 00:07:48,210
that makes

209
00:07:48,270 --> 00:07:50,490
three friends at this point that sense

210
00:07:50,490 --> 00:07:52,080
of learning in a kind of grownup

211
00:07:52,770 --> 00:07:55,380
environment it's not closed it's a community

212
00:07:55,380 --> 00:07:56,310
not an institution

213
00:07:57,540 --> 00:08:00,990
luffy teaching lucky teachers might choose as

214
00:08:00,990 --> 00:08:03,450
well super helpful people really lovely and

215
00:08:03,450 --> 00:08:04,440
it's easy to get along with them

216
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,180
because you've got mutual respect and understanding

217
00:08:06,180 --> 00:08:08,250
for the course you're like if you're

218
00:08:08,250 --> 00:08:10,080
worried vallen ef say that's joanne and

219
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,410
michael they would they don't mind giving

220
00:08:13,410 --> 00:08:14,580
em what else to do and then

221
00:08:14,580 --> 00:08:15,810
they'll come to the back and help

222
00:08:16,350 --> 00:08:17,220
ten minutes just

223
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,495
if you're not sure you'll go back

224
00:08:20,250 --> 00:08:22,500
is it's close to an example and

225
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:23,910
you're not finished yet but i am

226
00:08:23,910 --> 00:08:24,510
sitting inside

227
00:08:25,740 --> 00:08:27,480
lesson time to help you because you

228
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,232
know they kind of they put yourself

229
00:08:30,308 --> 00:08:33,720
so the lesson amazing that the lovely

230
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,000
that friendly and very helpful as well

231
00:08:36,330 --> 00:08:38,010
they're always there for you so you've

232
00:08:38,010 --> 00:08:41,160
got lasers for it's not what you

233
00:08:41,190 --> 00:08:43,170
do in primary and secondary it's completely

234
00:08:43,170 --> 00:08:44,910
different and it feels a bit more

235
00:08:44,910 --> 00:08:45,840
free and it feels

236
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,210
probably assumed similar to what the university

237
00:08:48,210 --> 00:08:49,710
experience is going to be like you're

238
00:08:49,710 --> 00:08:51,990
learning from people who know what they're

239
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:54,870
doing they've already experienced but your experiencing

240
00:08:55,290 --> 00:08:57,150
you have all those hobbies in common

241
00:08:57,150 --> 00:08:59,850
everything on it's just works it's amazing

242
00:09:00,368 --> 00:09:01,740
you start the cause so like as

243
00:09:01,740 --> 00:09:03,000
soon as you get in you're doing

244
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,720
hands-on work

245
00:09:04,860 --> 00:09:06,570
it's been brilliant i've really got the

246
00:09:06,570 --> 00:09:08,910
option so specialised i want to take

247
00:09:09,270 --> 00:09:11,760
it kind of gradually increases in difficulty

248
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,160
rather than just being plunged into something

249
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:14,910
completely new

250
00:09:16,290 --> 00:09:18,300
the level of what was so light

251
00:09:18,330 --> 00:09:20,370
it was so much nicer and awkward

252
00:09:20,370 --> 00:09:21,990
sort of fit life around it better

253
00:09:21,990 --> 00:09:24,570
i think it's just so nice and

254
00:09:24,570 --> 00:09:26,220
laid back that they do teach you

255
00:09:26,220 --> 00:09:27,750
what you need to know in your

256
00:09:27,780 --> 00:09:29,970
very side of things is really well

257
00:09:29,970 --> 00:09:31,590
linked to the practical side of things

258
00:09:32,460 --> 00:09:33,450
so it sort of goes hand in

259
00:09:33,450 --> 00:09:34,980
hand it really naturally comes out and

260
00:09:34,980 --> 00:09:36,240
it doesn't feel like you're being false

261
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,920
i'll write a bunch of words it

262
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:38,970
just feels like you're doing it because

263
00:09:38,970 --> 00:09:40,290
you're passionate about it which is really

264
00:09:40,290 --> 00:09:42,960
important with regards to two colleagues here

265
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:43,890
it's really inspiring

266
00:09:45,330 --> 00:09:47,970
all the other lecturing staff are dual

267
00:09:47,970 --> 00:09:50,820
professionals so you know they've they've worked

268
00:09:50,820 --> 00:09:53,790
within industry and then got their skills

269
00:09:53,790 --> 00:09:56,100
from industry and then got their educational

270
00:09:56,130 --> 00:09:59,430
qualifications on top what girl is whatever

271
00:09:59,460 --> 00:10:03,390
airy go to you actually have specialists

272
00:10:03,450 --> 00:10:04,770
in that area

273
00:10:05,905 --> 00:10:06,955
for instance if i was in a

274
00:10:06,955 --> 00:10:09,295
school you have people who become teachers

275
00:10:09,325 --> 00:10:11,965
of english or overcome teachers of french

276
00:10:12,355 --> 00:10:13,405
but a lot of the time they're

277
00:10:13,405 --> 00:10:15,955
not actually specialists behind his college you

278
00:10:15,955 --> 00:10:18,355
get people who are actually trained to

279
00:10:18,355 --> 00:10:20,425
the highest level in what they are

280
00:10:20,425 --> 00:10:21,805
teaching so if you look at the

281
00:10:21,805 --> 00:10:25,255
building guides every one of those has

282
00:10:25,255 --> 00:10:26,035
been in the bill

283
00:10:26,035 --> 00:10:28,375
building industry has worked in the industry

284
00:10:28,405 --> 00:10:30,445
has seen how it is that been

285
00:10:30,445 --> 00:10:31,375
to the top of it as i

286
00:10:31,375 --> 00:10:33,505
know companies and then they come into

287
00:10:33,505 --> 00:10:37,315
highlands and teaching those skills to the

288
00:10:37,315 --> 00:10:39,685
students and in every single area you

289
00:10:39,685 --> 00:10:42,895
go to highlands you have those people

290
00:10:42,925 --> 00:10:44,125
who have been at the top of

291
00:10:44,125 --> 00:10:46,195
their field and i don't think he

292
00:10:46,195 --> 00:10:48,205
get that in school that's why high-gloss

293
00:10:48,205 --> 00:10:50,785
is completely different to any other establishment

294
00:10:51,835 --> 00:10:54,085
and that wealth of knowledge in such

295
00:10:54,085 --> 00:10:56,755
a small place is very unusual

296
00:10:58,555 --> 00:11:00,085
a real asset to the

297
00:11:07,585 --> 00:11:10,045
every student that comes to us can

298
00:11:10,045 --> 00:11:12,175
expect at least a minimum of one

299
00:11:12,175 --> 00:11:14,814
week of work experience industry vice work

300
00:11:14,814 --> 00:11:18,205
experience we don't work closely with distant

301
00:11:18,235 --> 00:11:21,925
person tutors with susan themselves and obviously

302
00:11:21,925 --> 00:11:25,255
with local employers and the industry experts

303
00:11:26,005 --> 00:11:26,515

304
00:11:26,515 --> 00:11:30,415

we're just looked amazing for our work

348
00:13:25,855 --> 00:13:27,475
has led to music on t v

349
00:13:27,475 --> 00:13:28,825
these i'm i hit the candles at

350
00:13:28,825 --> 00:13:29,875
the moment part-time

351
00:13:31,075 --> 00:13:32,425
yeah you really get a taste of

352
00:13:32,425 --> 00:13:33,325
what is like to be in the

353
00:13:33,325 --> 00:13:34,255
professional world

354
00:13:41,125 --> 00:13:43,315
so all of our level three courses

355
00:13:43,315 --> 00:13:46,825
have entry criteria um and it's different

356
00:13:46,825 --> 00:13:48,325
across the courses so the best thing

357
00:13:48,415 --> 00:13:50,275
um students can do is to go

358
00:13:50,275 --> 00:13:52,585
onto our website and have a look

359
00:13:52,585 --> 00:13:55,846
by going onto the course um and

360
00:13:55,855 --> 00:13:57,835
checking out each criteria for that particular

361
00:13:57,835 --> 00:13:59,845
course so if for any reason you

362
00:13:59,875 --> 00:14:00,595
don't manage to

363
00:14:00,595 --> 00:14:03,595
get your level three entry criteria it's

364
00:14:03,595 --> 00:14:05,005
not the end of the world we

365
00:14:05,005 --> 00:14:07,525
do have other courses which will lead

366
00:14:07,555 --> 00:14:10,105
onto level three or apprenticeships so on

367
00:14:10,105 --> 00:14:12,565
the level two courses we have maps

368
00:14:12,578 --> 00:14:14,575
english embedded within those courses for those

369
00:14:14,575 --> 00:14:17,605
students who need to retake them and

370
00:14:17,605 --> 00:14:20,365

371
00:14:20,365 --> 00:14:20,755

that you expect from young people who

419
00:16:13,435 --> 00:16:15,325

chosen to work and study here because

426
00:16:32,815 --> 00:16:34,945
