DESCRIPTION:In this talk we discuss loose Legendrian embeddings and their 
 absolute analogues\, flexible Weinstein manifolds and overtwisted contact 
 structures. The required definitions and essential results will be provide
 d. In the first part we present a criterion that characterizes overtwisted
  contact structures in terms of Legendrian submanifolds and adapted open b
 ooks decompositions. In the second part we explore applications to Weinste
 in cobordisms and flexible (bi)Lefschetz fibrations.\n\n
