Thank you Lorna for allowing me to translate your tutorials.
Silke, Isharimal and Lamanouche created the tubes used here.
Thanks to all of you
May I point out that the tubes used here are strictly for personal use.
Do not change their names and watermarks and do not upload them on other websites.
Should you need to use these tubes for any other use than personal,
