Welcome to my lightning talk. My name is Andre Giordini. I'm an independent cloud native consultant and trainer. And today, we're going to talk about ditching data pipelines. Why treating data as assets is the best thing you can do. I am a platform engineer. And I happen to do a lot of work with data companies and data platform. And if you've worked in data for more than a couple of weeks, pretty much, I'm sure all of you know what this law is about, right? Airflow. A lot of people like it. A lot of people hate it. But every time I look at airflow and the way airflow works, I cannot help to make this comparison. And let me know if you see the similarity here. For me, every time I work with airflow is very similar to every time I happen to work with Jenkins. Sure, they do similar things, but there is a similarity underneath in the way airflow and Jenkins do things. And I think the similarity is this one. Both of them are like a white canvas. Every time we install a new airflow instance, every time we install a new Jenkins instance, it's like starting from scratch. We start from like a white painting. And we need to get started and build things on top, on top, on top, on top. And now, when you have a white painting, there are two things you can do. Two things can happen, only two. You're either an artist, and you can make an amazing masterpiece. Or you can just figure out that you're never becoming a good painter after all. The main problem that they see when company use airflow is that the airflow focuses a lot on how data is built, on what's the process to bring the data from the source to a usable state. Instead, what I think should be the focus of a tool that works with data is to understand how data relates to each other. With airflow, airflow is a software that has been around for a long time, where data was just stored on disk or databases pretty much. But right now, we live in the cloud. Our data can be pretty much anywhere. Our data can be a BigQuery table, a file saved on S3, a Postgres database, a file on storage. But it's not as simple anymore. And it's becoming more and more complicated to figure out how things are connected to each other, how all our pieces of data connect together. And this is why today I want to let you think about treating your data as assets rather than as workflow pipelines pretty much. I happen to be a contributor of an open source software called DAGSTAR. I've been working with this software for a while. It's open source. It's cloud native. And I've contributed with a couple of PRs to their integrations. And DAGSTAR really gets this thing right, in my opinion. It really treats data as units of things connected together pretty much. So in here, I just shown you two example pipelines where you can see clearly, for example, the data is being pulled by airbite. Then we do all the processing using a tool called DBT. And finally, we run our Python function to make some final forecasting model. On the right, the same thing happens, but right now we're using five trends for ingesting DBT to modify the data. And finally, we use a TensorFlow model to predict the orders, for example. And look how nice it is. The lineage here is so clear. It's so easy to understand how data connects with each other. And all this comes out of the box just by writing Python. You just need to import, you know, return data from a function, import to another one, and all this thing will get, you will get all this thing out of the box. Another thing I really love about DAGSTAR is that it's a tool that is cloud native first. With Airflow, it was always like a big hack to figure out how to run your pipelines locally. With Airflow, it's really complicated. DAGSTAR instead, what it does is abstract things that are not needed to let you focus on the pipeline. So IO Managers is a great example.  Well, then you're using your Docker daemon and your local storage. Are you running it now in the cloud? Well, now you're using Kubernetes and you're using S3 to store your logs and your intermediate state. And your pipeline does not change, not even a bit. And finally, it's the integration. DAGSTAR has an amazing ecosystem that integrates with plenty of different tools. Of course, the major cloud providers, DBT, Slack, Airflow, Prometheus, DuckDB, you name it. There's plenty of different integrations and plenty of different ways of working with it. So if you want to know more about DAGSTAR, you can check out DAGSTAR.IO. My website is underagerdini.com. I will be around the whole week. I will be more than happy to understand your strategy around building data pipelines, about building data assets hopefully in the future. Thank you.


Hi guys, so today I want us to do a video all about is it okay for nurses to cry? But before I get started, I wanted to mention that this video is sponsored by weave wearables Which is a company that makes custom insoles for your shoes now it's not just like any custom in so because you can actually download their app and do get your custom insoles through their app you take some pictures of your feet and Choose like the colors and pattern that you want and then they ship them right to you within 10 days If you're like me, you've probably struggled for a long time to find shoes that actually fit your feet that help with foot pain And leg pain and back pain and when you're on your feet all day It's important to have good shoes But the key to having good shoes is to have good support meaning to have good insoles I have my insoles from we wearables here and I absolutely love them. I think they're so cute They have my name on them and I've been wearing them for several weeks and love them So if you're interested in checking out we wearables I will leave their link down below and they're also be a promo code So a lot of people ask me like hey Ashley. I'm a super emotional person. Is it okay for nurses to cry and Absolutely, it is absolutely okay for nurses to cry I think you would be like inhuman is that word it would be not human if you didn't feel some sort of emotion When it comes to being a nurse and every field is different But some are a little bit more sad or happy than others And I can say that there's been several times in my nursing career where I've cried but the My opinion or the key to this I guess is there's appropriate times to cry and inappropriate times to cry and I'll try to kind of explain what I mean by this, but basically like as a nurse you are there for your patients and their families and you're kind of like they're rock and A lot of times they may be emotional and they need a I don't say a stable person, but they need someone to be there to listen for them or to them and Be that strong person And as nurses we are there when patients and their families get terrible Diagnoses and news like they have terminal cancer or they've got you know hours left to live or there's no other treatments That can be done and that can be very very hard as a nurse if you formed Relationships with these patients and their family members and you become emotionally invested in them I think there is appropriate times to cry. I'll just give you kind of an example I had a patient several weeks back who became a donor patient meaning that this patient could donate their organs And I became very close with the family members And as I was wheeling this patient back to the OR and the family had to say goodbye We were all in tears giving each other hugs because this was such a sad Wonderful, but sad moment because this was the last time that that family was seeing their loved one at least you know in their own body and Warm and had a heartbeat and still alive so to speak and it was very very emotional And I was crying they were crying and that was an appropriate time to cry because we are sharing each other's pain and I know it's kind of heavy stuff I guess the best way that I can say it is that crying can be such a beautiful Moment that you can share with your patients and their family members But make sure that you're still being their strong person and that the roles aren't reversed You should be comforting them not necessarily the reverse and I know there's unique situations where maybe your family is comforting you But for the most part you should be the strong rock for your patients I hope that kind of in a roundabout way answers some of your crisis questions about is it okay to cry as a nurse So the short answer is yes, but when it's appropriate I hope you guys enjoy this video make sure you give it a thumbs up check out We wearables in the description box below and I will see you guys in my next video. Bye


So we're all trying to grow these Spotify streams, since that's the game these days. And if you watch my videos, you know that the way you do this, one, getting new potential fans to hear you, and two, strengthening your relationship with fans so they think about you more often. Since if new people are hearing you, this will hopefully lead to people who regularly listen to you. And if you do things that keep you on the mind of those fans, they will keep on thinking of you and come back to your music and form an addiction to it. Well, if that's your plan, I have good news. Since Spotify has just unveiled a new tool that can help you do both of these things without a lot of time or any financial investment. So in this video, I'm gonna tell you about Spotify's new feature that lets you bond with your fans and have them listen to your music alongside your favorite artists for free. Hi, I'm Jesse Cannon, a music marketing nerd who's teaching musicians how to grow their fan base from zero to 10,000 fans. And this is Muse Formation. So you may be saying, Jesse, what in the goddamn hell? Why hasn't Spotify told me about this crazy new tool?  The product is called Music and Talk from Anchor, which is a podcast production and distribution company Spotify bought a couple of years ago.  I'm a respectable person and I don't want my in-laws laughing at me that I have a podcast. Hear me out. What Spotify has enabled for you to do here is to make DJ sets, radio shows, talk shows, or those cool companions to your album where you talk in between each song about your record or for that matter, in between your entire discography. Really, Anchor's Music and Talk has a lot of possibilities. So let's talk about them. The first thing that got me excited about this was thinking about one of my favorite ways of promoting music while finding community is to put other similar artists on a playlist from your artist page on Spotify and attack them on social media. This allows you to find similar artists to you whose fans would probably like you and teach the algorithm you're similar to them and have them notice by seeing your support when you tag them on social media to share that you've added them to your playlist by doing it in an Instapost or a tweet. And that can help expose you, your playlist and your music to their audience which should hopefully grow yours since their fan base is similar to you. Now, obviously this is more complicated than this and if you wanna learn more, I highly recommend you watch my video on this which is linked on the screen now or in the cards. So now with music and talk, the artists you find when looking for new songs to add to your playlist, you can now have another eventful thing you can share to engage your fans. The same songs that you added that playlist, you can put in a music and talk DJ set or radio show or talk show. You can talk about these songs and what you like about them or the artists you added and you have another thing that's easy to make, eventful and enjoyable for your audience which you can promote with and grow your audience with. Now there's a bunch of great possibilities here to do and each one will be different depending on who you are as an artist.  Much like many of the artists shows on Beats One or Serious FM, you can do the same as them. As well, what I think is really smart is you can invite other musicians on and interview them while playing their music and yours and then get their audiences introduced to your music and personality by doing a little talk show thing and then bringing them on so that they promote it or you can just do a radio type broadcast when you play music you like and chat when you feel like in between the songs. One of the things I would really encourage is after you put out an album a couple of weeks after it's out you should definitely make a version of it where you talk about the songs on the album in between each one. This can be fun for your whole discography and if you have an engaged audience that will listen to it that's exactly what you should do on your discography playlist page and then convert it into a music and talk experience. If you're making an album using the waterfall method this can also be a great accompaniment piece you can keep adding too easily and Anchor's Interface allows you to easily add from past music and talk episodes and continue to add to this. And if you don't know what I'm talking about with the waterfall method I highly recommend you watch my video on it as it is one of the best ways to release music today and it's linked on the screen now or in the description below. And I just want to say I know a lot of you watch this without subscribing or getting notified when I post videos and I'm just saying we can have a lot more fun if you hit that like button get subscribed and notified when I post. Another idea is if you know a lot about music subjects whether it's history or you can show some music as similar to yours you can also do that in a music and talk episode and create a listen that may bring you new fans. A smooth way of doing this can be if your song is a unique subject or trait rarely used you can make a whole show on let's say you have a song about Lava Lamps. Go hit Genius' website look up some other songs that mention Lava Lamps and next thing you know you have a show that you can send to Lava Lamp manufacturers to share on their social media and get a bump. You can even do a deep dive on an artist that's similar to you and talk about what you see in their music and lure their fans into your music. I think of that podcast dissect that goes in on artists like Kanye. Doing those deep dyes but for your favorite artists can definitely get your music some attention from the fans of those artists if you do it right. One of the main reasons to use music and talk is anytime one of the platforms implements a new feature they love to show off the artists who are using it as they want to get more eyes on it and this feature is in that stage as this week they really started pushing it out to labels, distributors and other partners and nerds like me. So if you make these and it goes well Spotify may feature you and expose you to a bigger audience. So many careers have gotten a big boost from getting on the new features of a platform early and getting that little extra push from the platform. So now is definitely the time to go here. They say fools rush in and while that is often the case when it comes to already established platforms doing new features it's always the early bird gets the worm but you may be scared and think this is gonna take you forever but it's actually shockingly easy. Just watch this little demo I made as I do this all with an iPhone voice memo app a web browser and a graphic design program. Okay, so if you're signed up for Anchor you now are at this screen of the dashboard. So let's make our first episode. So you can one capture your recording right from the browser if you have a microphone hooked up you can do it there. I already recorded my audio so that I could make this nice and easy. So what we have here is clicked up load and drag files here. We have this. What's up everybody? This is the in-cell hype beast.  Up first we have one of my new favorite songs. It's from an artist named Glave. So as you can hear I do it. You need to put a minute between the files. So you gotta talk for at least a minute. It should be very hard.  So as you can see here there's also this activate sponsorships which means that you can get paid and put ads in as long as the ads are not next to the music you can get paid from it. Great, so we have that in our library. So I'm gonna hit add to episode. So that's now in here but it looks like it's now in twice which I do not want. And then I will go to music and connect to Spotify. Look at that. I can go right in and I can add my favorite song. So if I wanted to put something this is one of my favorite songs right now. It's called Siffle Fossil from Igloo Ghost or Silla Fossil, whatever. And then you just keep doing that. And then you save the episode. You put a title in, you put a description.  And that really is the game. You do have to label that issues. And then it kinda comes out like how it would if you put a podcast. So you submit it for review. They're gonna make sure that you don't do anything bad and you don't put in other people's music you're not supposed to. But really cause you have the whole entire catalog of Spotify you really should not be using music that you don't have the right to be using. There's plenty to choose from. So yeah, that's really the game. And then about an hour later they will tell you when your episode is up and you can start linking it to everybody. And you can go on your Spotify for artist page and go find with the ID. You can pin it to your page under the artist pick and have people tune into it when you put it up and get more engagement with your audience. Okay, now that we're through that here are some quick tips from Spotify themselves. Publishing weekly on weekday mornings is ideal but a consistency is most important. Pick a day in time and stick to it. I'd say feel free to go buy a weekly or monthly if that's all you can handle but really it is true that consistency and people knowing what they can expect from you is most important. Create a short trailer that gives context to what you're doing just like a YouTube trailer you wanna let the audience know what they can expect from these things and make that the first thing you post. Alternating between talk and music content has performed the best so far with episodes starting with talk content first. As well, you can't just play music and not speak. A good sweet spot for length is an hour or less but it can vary depending on your content and when your audience would enjoy it. As well, a cool thing you can do with your audience is you can use voice messages as a call in functionally to engage with your listeners and make them feel part of the show. Meaning not only can you use the Apple Voice Memos app on the phone to record your parts but you could also have your listeners email those to you if you wanna engage with them and drop them in the episode. When you do hit publish, the show takes about an hour to go up and once you do that, make sure to pin it to your profile in the artist pick and promote it on your socials. Okay, I'd love to hear of any thoughts you have on what you may do with music and talk as well as any questions you may have in the comments. So please leave a comment, subscribe and get notified for my future videos. If you're looking for ways to promote your music on Spotify, I have a whole playlist linked on the screen now on how to blow up on Spotify in 2021.  So please watch more, there's another playlist on how to grow your fan base from zero to 10,000 fans on the screen now that will teach you just that. Thanks for watching.


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com coming at you with 2023 tops chrome black baseball 12 box Pick your team at number three from jaspyscasebreaks.com. We just load up another fresh case So if you're looking for that get in on it a very big.  So those are the results there. Congrats to the people one teams Thanks, everybody for getting in for making this happen Now let's pop this case open. Let's see what we got Gilo mentioning the Royals basically signing all the Padres free agents Chad's lamenting The fact that his Mariners haven't done anything at all trading away the middle of the lineup Off-season is not over yet though. Maybe uh, maybe some trades are gonna happen. I know Mariners are kind of rich in starting pitching. Maybe they'll trade an arm away to try to or a prospect armor to a way to Stack this stack of boxes right on top of that right here Maybe maybe they try to sign Cody Bellinger that could be a nice bat in that lineup There's that encased card in there. We'll do this pack first Miguel Cabrera refractor to 199 Vlad Guerrero, Jr. Mariners by score two and a half runs a game No, they'll be a little bit better than that. All right, and you're encased card is max-free 93 out of 150 braves Jacob with the Braves nice As long as the Mariners are giving up less than their their scoring Mariners have good pitching they could they could probably hold teams to about two runs a game That's a lot of W's Yeah, Gilo's Otani's coming to Kansas City theory has been thrown out Out of the out of whack a little bit Nolan Gorman Christopher Morell rookie card. There's Michael Bush As well Christopher Morell to 75 Adam with the Cubs.  What are the Mariners gonna do then? Go get Ballinger then Or you got to develop that hitting, you know coach up the players that you have We've got a Brian Roque 66 out of 150. I like the one is that purple mini diamonds. That looks pretty sharp Wow Chad's already announcing they're gonna lose a hundred games I don't think they're that bad. Are they there is Shea Lang Lears 15 out of 50 Nice Oakland A's a sham's won that team in the filler. So that Commander's game is over. I think I covered on that Cowboys Bill still happening or a cowboys being competitive. No that game has Switched over as well Gronk is on Fox. We're gonna go NBC football night in America They have me. I mean, I'm sure they'll they'll address that by the beginning of the season Are they counting on like youngsters? Maybe some hitting prospects coming up the ranks It's Chris Bryant 28 out of 50 and the encased card is Brett Beatty 21 out of 150 I feel like he started the season. Okay, he got sent back down at some point But he's still young. He should get some more opportunities for the Mets Nicholas wheat It's a player to look out for keep an eye on throughout the season. Yeah, Jilo me, too Be back before you know He'll address Well, they got to do something Chad. What are they gonna do there? Are they gonna really gonna do nothing? Just keep wasting Julio Rodriguez. Yeah, and it's at that point trade Julio to the Dodgers Here's Manny Machado may as well. Just sell everybody then Dodgers could do some of that starting pitching It's Manny Machado to the Padres Nicholas And then we've got some mini diamonds here. It is Matthew Libertura 15 out of 50 Rookie order for the Cardinals that will be for Jeff There you go, Jeff and Jordan Walker and a Ronald Acuna, Jr.. That was a Corey Seger back there 2078 out of 99 that will be for the Braves. That's gonna be for Jacob and there's Logan Oh, Hoppe See how How ironic would it be if they lose Ohtani and then they make it to the playoffs next season Logan Oh, Hoppe will go to Allen and the Angels Dodger rumor mill outside Ohtani. I think writers are linking everybody to the Dodgers Michael Harris and there's Oswaldo Cabrera to 99. Christmas knowledge. They're still in on Yama I mean they're on everybody that's like Like you can't discount the Dodgers on On any deal or team. They've got the prospects. They've collected enough prospects over the last You know, however many years there. They've got a great farm system. Here's Dontrell Willis. Nice Who does some work for the Dodgers TV Network? It's a good color commentator, too We'll do some in-studio work as well. That that is a Florida Marlins Dontrell Willis and that will be for For Nicholas Nicholas wheat. I mean Dodgers got glass now, which was nice I mean, I still think they meant they may try to still trade for ours, Aranya They might still Try to trade for Dylan's sees they probably do need another starting pitcher They're probably in on Yama Moto. Although it sounds like the Mets are really whining and dining him There's Rafael Devers to 199 and a Machado to 152 parallels in this one so maybe maybe Mets owner Steve Cohen will just We'll just open up the checkbook just to get a front-line starter For that team. All right, then we got some of this green 67 out of 99 world champion Margie Simeon. That will be for the Rangers. That's gonna be for Roy It's chrome black looking pretty nice Got another case in the store ladies and gentlemen. We just loaded it up not too long ago So there's only I think there's only when we started this great only two teams were taken There is Jordan Walker Rookie card and a Chris Bryant gold mini diamond 50 out of 50 That looks a little bit was different from the other Jordan Walker, right? Maybe this one's a little more shorter printed And there's Chris Bryant 50 out of 50 for Anthony in the rocks Jordan Walker, it's gonna go to Jeff Yeah, or who's that there's another Japanese pitcher that's put that's not as that's supposed to not be as good Oh, that's a one-per-case thing on that Jordan Walker. Nice. Thanks Chad I Have a feeling that Yamamoto is gonna get a big paycheck from someone not named the Dodgers, but there's that other Japanese pitcher That's supposed to be good not as good as Yamamoto, but still supposed to be pretty solid I think maybe Dodgers might end up with that guy There's keep Ryan Hayes Pirates Walter.

Bye


I'm Jason Bonham. I'm Travis Crafts. Welcome to Wall State Community College in Hanceville, Alabama. Why do I specifically farm? It's just one of those things that kind of came natural to me as part of a family farm. It's just what I've seen grandfathers do, dad do. So it just kind of was something I grew up with and wanted to do myself. Well, as I was growing up, I thought I would never do anything like this. I had to work in my mother's yard and everything had to be 2-a-t all the time. If I missed wheat eating with a single blade of grass, she'd make me go back there and hit that one piece even if it was a pair of scissors before supper. So I thought, well, whenever I grow up, I'm never going to do anything like this. So when I bought my first house, I got to look around. I was like, the yard really needs some help. And so that's kind of got what my interest got started in it. And then I found out there was a program down here, so I started class down here. And I'm still here 20 years later. Here we teach agribusiness classes and a whole lot of different things fall under that. This will be anywhere from turf management, landscape, design, greenhouse management, greenhouse crop production. We've got a lot of variety of classes that we teach here. In the greenhouses here at Wallace, we grow a variety of things. A whole lot of flowers, annuals, some perennials. We do some vegetables, including tomatoes and pepper plants like that that you want to start indoors early. We do some trees and shrubs. And you see in the background that we do some ferns and many different types of succulents. We have five acres here and we got a little over 20,000 square feet under cover. Right now we have a total of 16 students. Most of these students, we do have a couple of lab assistants that work here with us in order to get a lot of this stuff done. Because that's a seven-day-a-week job. It's not just an eight-to-three type thing. Covet has really affected us in the way that we teach classes. In the past two years, we have to do a lot of things through virtual. And that's not always an easy thing to do when it's supposed to be more of a hands-on type thing. So we have to give them projects at home to do like killing weeds using vinegar instead of actually here using another type of chemical. So it has been a pretty good bit of a challenge because we are a non-profit organization. We actually sell here. We can't compete with any of our local people. So we actually sell here on campus in this particular greenhouse that we're in right now. We're kind of essentially located between Birmingham and Huntsville. So we do get a lot of our student clientele come from both areas from different directions. So their friends and family will come down here and purchase from us as well. We have a couple of companies around here locally that we buy some things. And then other things come from Park Seed up in North Carolina. We do a lot of stuff with our co-op system. So this is our classroom. This is the only classroom we have in the building. You can see we've got it lined out here with computers. And that's mainly for our landscape design class. A lot of the stuff we do is a lot of hands-on type stuff. And this week we've been teaching about different types of fertilizers. We do have a smart hub in the classroom. It's just like a big giant computer we can also use as a whiteboard. And it does a whole lot of different features. And then of course you can see we did a lot of our calculations of stuff on the board. This is one of our large lab areas. You can see in the background back here we've got a whole lot of equipment. Different cabotas, John Deere gays, tractors, John Deere and Kays. All kind of small engine equipment back here. And on either side of the room we have flat filler machines. We use one of them that we use only for nursery type mix. The other one is a greenhouse type mix. So this is where a lot of the happenings go on out here. All our transplant and our seed starting, grafting, even small engine classes happen out here. This is another one of our lab areas that we use. We use a lot for a small engine class. We carry down the engines. You see back here in the background we've got several engines and different things sitting back there. We take all those all the way down completely down to the bare crank shaft and put them back together. At the run when you start and at the run when you finish. That is a bit of a challenge. The reason why we teach that class is because if you're anywhere in the agricultural or horticulture field and you use a type of small engine, whether it be a blower or weeder, mower, tractor, whatever, that kind of helps get the idea of how it works and then what you would need to do to maintain it and to fix it. There were some small repairs. So in this greenhouse right here we're getting ready for our spring plant cell. So in here we've got a whole bunch of our little seedlings. We started these seedlings over here on the mist line. And some of our cuttings and stuff are over here. And then as they spend 24 hours or so on the mist line we'll take them off and put them over here on the benches here in the greenhouse and then grow them off from there. This is a bunch of stuff that's been done just in the past couple of weeks. Go on to the next greenhouse. So this is our number one greenhouse. We actually redecorated it at the Fern House and you can see why because we've got so many ferns in here. We've got all different varieties of plants in this greenhouse. We use a lot of this stuff for plant ID. And the ferns we use on campus. We use these for graduation and different events that we have on campus. We can kind of decorate the stage or just bring a little bit more of a homey feel to a room. As you walk through you can see all types of flowers. We've got different orchids, new guinea impatiens. We've got plants over here on the other side that we use for floor culture class. We actually do make flower arrangements. So here we do have six different types of greenhouses or not six different types. We've got six greenhouses, two different types. We've got two that are gutter connected and then other just regular Quonset house. One of them is a Gothic Arch type house and it's super tall. Some of these other ones they were bought in the early 70s when this program first started here at Wall Estate. And so we just carried them on and kept up with them. This is one of our smaller greenhouses that we actually use just for a shade house. We just use one layer of plastic over it. Just kind of hold plants over for the winter. And so they just sit in here that keeps them from going completely dormant. This is some of our stock plants. Over here we have a sales area or sales pad that we call it. And we have a sample of everything that we have in the nursery out here as far as deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs. Here at Wallace we have three different hot tunnels. We've got them all lined up right in the row right here. This first one we use for our floor culture class. We actually only grow cut flowers. Right now we have some snap dragons left over from last season. We just left them in here to see how they do in the cold weather. And all this is a cover crop that we planted just to help for soil building and content. So we're in the high tunnel that we use here at Wall Estate with the Pest Exclusion Netting from Dr. A's project. I'm standing here beside the traps he uses for fall armyworms, cabbage loopers. There's several other. Eric Shavey comes up and checks these every two weeks to every month. Last year the traps came in really handy. I know that we were mainly looking at the e-grass of insects and the progression of insects in and out of the high tunnel to see where it was. But when we seen the fall armyworms fly because we had these traps and Eric coming here we were kind of able to predict when the fall armyworms were coming and we were able to do sprays and kind of protect our crops. So we have each trap set up. Eric put the different pheromones in each one to attract the insects to do the flights of the insects and the reports back to Dr. A and then that usually I think he publishes it in the IPM newsletter so we can kind of see when stuff's coming and know when to make management decisions. So this is outside of the high tunnel where we have Dr. A's Pest Exclusion Netting. We've had real good benefits and luck out of keeping insects out especially some of our larger ones. We've noticed that through the trapping and things like that. When it comes to the high tunnel I don't think I would have one now without the Pest Exclusion or doing some kind of Exclusion Netting. We also have three nursery houses here at Wallace. As you can see back behind me we got all different types of scrubs and things that we do in here and all this is student grown. We start from cuttings or seeds and grow it all the way up to a sellable product. This particular house right here we only left a shade cloth on yet where the other ones we try to overwinter just a little. We use extension resources probably once a week or more. Extension resources are invaluable. To be able to do common nowadays do a quick Google search to get information but you don't know if the information is correct, is it research based but you can go into the extension website, look through their publications and get knowledge that's research based that you know you can trust that'll benefit you. Yeah, publications, conferences, even individual visits people coming by and helping us out in different ways. I use the beginning farmer app. It's a great way it's, you know, instead of having to look up agents phone numbers or anything they're all in there to use the ID tools that are in there. That's the one I rely on and any kind of publications, the IPM newsletter any student that comes through my program I make sure they sign up for that IPM newsletter because that's the best way of getting continuing education and you can see what's coming to make decisions. We're constantly contacting them about different things and offering them a place as a venue to host different workshops and we attend those and they attend some that we have. Know as much knowledge up front before you go into it. Some have the idea they can just learn as they go. Do your study, do your research, come to Wallis, take classes, attend extension programs, just any kind of education you can get to have prior knowledge to flatten that learning curve. Learning curves now can be more expensive and get you further behind to be a good sustainable farm to move forward. You've got to know to make the right decisions to protect the bottom dollar. Don't go into debt. Only do what you can do. If you want to start out with a greenhouse and build just a small greenhouse first obviously get the best equipment you can possibly afford but don't go broke and don't go into debt doing it.


This study found that men and gender diverse people who have sex with men are more likely than others to be infected with COVID-19, and less likely to receive the full course of COVID-19 vaccinations. The authors suggest that these disparities may be due to differences in access to healthcare, as well as socio-economic factors such as educational attainment, employment status, and self-esteem. This article was authored by Dana Ogars, Hester Allen, David Weed, and others.


So our final speaker for this session, so this is going to be the first that we finish early, it's going to be Elizabeth Dupre and she's representing the benevolent dictator of bids and she will let us know all about what went on while the benevolent dictator was away, so excellent. So hi, I'm Elizabeth. I am not Chris Gorgalewski, which is actually how I started off the special interest group meeting on Wednesday, but due to logistical issues, Chris couldn't join us and so Aaron Dickey and I had the pleasure of kind of leading that group and and hearing a little bit of the discussion about where community members are really interested in taking bids next. And I know we've heard about bids a couple of times now, but just so that everyone's aware, bids is the brain imaging data structure. So this is an emerging standard, hopefully soon endorsed by INCF for organizing brain imaging data and actually it's evolving into a broader ecosystem for both organizing and interacting with brain imaging data. And so in the special interest group meeting, as Chris had originally kind of put out the call, what we were really interested in doing is just hearing kind of what community members were working on, what they were having trouble with, where they kind of wanted feedback and a chance for a space for discussion. And we were really fortunate and that's what it ended up being. So for this group, I really wanted to point out in particular, there's one link that I really want you to take away from this, which is bids.neuroimaging.io. And this is kind of our main index for a lot of the resources both that I'll talk about today that were discussed in the meeting and and also if you want to take it forward and and get involved either for your own interests or so broadly things that bids is really supporting. This is kind of the place to figure out all of that information. And as you can see along the top or maybe you can't see depending on the lights, but there are quite a few areas that we're really kind of looking for people to look into. So the actual specification here is here but the two I'm going to highlight because these were the two that really came up in our special interest group meeting are getting started and getting involved. So the first one that I want to talk about is getting involved. So the way that we're asking people to get involved or one of the ways that we're asking people to get involved right now is actually through these extension proposals. So there's the main bids specification which has been, you know, significantly community vetted and versioned and is to deal with fMRI data, but we also have a number of communities that are interested in using bids and have extended bids to other modalities. So actually we recently just merged in the MEG bids extension proposal which we were very excited to see and there are other extension proposals for other modalities that are actively considered and discussed. So actually at the SIG meeting we had two extension proposals that were discussed by members of the community. So these in particular were the bids extension proposals three and twenty-one. So there are twenty-one bids extension proposals that have been proposed. There's quite a few areas that bids is looking to go to next. So the two that we discussed specifically at this meeting just because we had a quorum of interested members were quantitative MRI. So these are things like multiple flip angles or contrast. And we also discussed common electrophysiological derivatives. So this would be things like intercranial EEG, EEG and MEG and the derivatives of those modalities. How can we organize those within a bids framework? So I'm just putting up points for each of these that were discussed. These were pretty in-depth discussions actually, which was really, really exciting. And the subgroups that kind of broke off there have all already started. I've talked to them and confirmed that they've started drafting emails that they're going to send out to the bids mailing list with sort of summary updates of what was discussed there for their particular extension proposal. So if you're interested in seeing kind of where their thoughts are, that's going to go up both to the mailing list and I assume also to the actual extension proposals themselves, which are Google Docs. So you could probably see some edits there as well. And again, if you're interested in seeing these extension proposals yourself or commenting or extending them, you can get to them either through the mailing list or through that bids.neuroimaging.io link that I had up just a minute ago and will continue to press. So this was really exciting. These were some ways that we really want people to get involved. The other thing that was discussed at the special interest group meeting that I am in particular really excited about is getting started. So the bids standard is emerging and although it's gained a lot of traction, there's still a lot of ground left to cover. There's still a lot of researchers who want to get involved who may not be involved yet. And for some time it's been a little bit of an onboarding process and we over the past few months and Chris in particular has really been working to make this much, much easier. And so one of the things that Erin in particular was involved with in the special interest group meeting, but I also just want to highlight generally because this has been an ongoing effort. We actually just finished up a Google Summer of Code project on this, which was very exciting, but we've actually started creating a bids starter kit. So this is a resource also available from that bids.neuroimaging.io website. But if you're interested in getting started with bids or you're interested in helping your students get started with bids or you're already a bids expert and you remember what difficult parts were for you when you started and you want to make sure that that is documented for someone else. This is a great resource to go ahead and reach out, see what's available, see how this is being introduced to the community right now and maybe what any of the missing pieces are or where you'd like it to go next. And so we were lucky enough at the special interest group meeting that we got to introduce a few more people to bids and Erin in particular really walked them through a lot of these resources. But if you're interested in getting started, I would highly recommend that you check this out and that you contribute any knowledge that you've gained in your own bids journey. But that's really it. So thank you.

I'm Clarence. I'm one of the co-chairs of the village. Spend it to other co-chair. These are all the core team members. There's other core team members who are three things that we're working through tonight and welcome. So let's go around and say what we do. I'm Bobby Filer, data scientist at Endgame. I'm super excited about AI Village, in particular the CTF that we're doing. I highly encourage people to participate and then if you're kind of new to AI or just interested in talking about it, talk to any of the volunteers or any of the core members and be more than happy to chat with you about whatever. Hello, my name is Ariel Rovost. I'm a PhD student at Harvard and I am really excited for the village because I'm excited to be with you guys. It's just an exciting AI and we're going to be packing whatever. I'm Spencer Dell. I'm a data scientist at Endgame. I am leading the focus for the village. So we established this new village as a non-profit. It's a 5-1-3 in California. We are taking donations in order to further the thing of the village. But yeah, I'm really excited for the village. Yeah, I'm Delta Zero. I did the CFP review board stuff. Cool. So there's going to be three main sections in the village. The section in front here is going to be taken by talks. In the back left corner we have the CTF section. The CTF is starting this afternoon at 2 p.m. CTF.aiVillage.org and anyone is free to participate. All levels of difficulty are included. Even if you don't know anything, maybe you should know how to use a computer but at least go check out the website and see if you're interested in participating or not. There's prizes and the prizes will be handed out at the end of the village on Sunday. The back right corner is going to be the swag section and the exhibit section. So we're going to be selling a bunch of stuff that we've been working on over the last few months. Feel free to check them out too. For the CFP, so John Handel or CFP, and we had about 50 submissions this year. All high quality talks. We cooling accept 25 because we don't have time. Hopefully next year we have a bigger room. We can have multiple tracks or we can have more time. And the CTF we have about 50 questions as well. They are all pretty interesting questions. There's never been an AI ML CTF before so this is the first time we're trying to do it and hopefully all goes well. And then right now we are not chasing people out between talks because there's not a huge line outside but if there is we would request that people who have been staying here for a long time maybe after two or three talks or more give others an opportunity to come in because else they just won't have a chance to visit the village. And we do have a capacity limit so


Thank you very much. It is now my Honor and privilege to invite you Mr. President to address the newly sown in senior government officials and the nation at large Mr. President sir. Good morning colleagues I Do recognize just to Pay due recognition if I may say so To the Republican vice president Who is here? I know she's been traveling in the last couple of days Thank you for being able to attend this activity. I Wish to also recognize the ministers that are here a number of them and thank you colleagues for finding time to be here and Indeed to provincial minister as well I'm acting secretary to the cabinet and your team. I see a sizable team from there Obviously colleagues from state house other ministries permanent secretaries. I see some of them and and obviously others that are here and Members of the press But to the two colleagues that are being appointed today into these critical positions I wish to welcome you once more to this your house state house to witness this wedding in of Senior colleagues in government To distinguished ladies That are being sworn in today in your own individual rights You have followed career paths that You know you save the country in different Roads and today you are given yet additional responsibilities to save this country and You sit there not just because You The names you carry but you sit there because of your capabilities and and the good news is that You are both women and I think this is important. I'm sending a message out there But the message more important to than just being women is capable women I want to emphasize that point to the media capable citizens who happen to be women and It's a pleasure to be swearing in these colleagues today. So Let me Address them individually in their rows Then I'll be able to do justice a little bit today want to emphasize one or two things That I feel the nation needs to get back to the rails Because I do follow a lot of what's going on out there. I read a lot What's going on out there? So Madam Duffin Listen in our jimuka you are going to the teaching service Very very important extremely important function you are going there to chair the teaching service Commission and You have a huge task You have a huge task to ensure that We change together we change The teaching service Where teachers work? Who are they? Where are they? That people's students are getting What they go to school for you have a major task to do that This government has pronounced itself very very clearly What it wants to see in the education sector particularly that education is The best inheritance for any child. I would not wish any child to seek to get millions of kwacha from parents Without education those millions of kwacha Evaporate like morning dew in a short while In many cases not in all cases, but in many cases because something will be missing the toolkit for that child without education That toolkit is not there So it doesn't quite matter to be honest. I've come to know in life now. It doesn't matter What else is available the barest minimum and the best is education for a child That's what we all got From the village to stand here. So this Government has pronounced itself very clear That our children must get the best education The standards are in a different area. We'll be addressing that some other day, but the environment Learning teaching environment a Lot of that will weigh on your shoulders and that of your colleagues in The minister of education I see the PS here. I don't know if both PS is are here both of them are here those are partners In our quest to save the people's I'm Minister is not here Right PS is as efficient You have heard our pronouncements That you cannot have an environment where teaching takes place Learning takes place and produce good quality outputs If there are fewer teachers So this government within the challenges that we have have decided to derive Drive money from waste for expenditure of the last seven years I'll talk about that when we come to her and Drove that money into education to critical elements to improve the pupil teacher ratio This government is employing 30,000 teachers 30,000 teachers In our first ever budget 30,000 teachers in the past if 2000 teachers were employed There was a lot of noise being made We don't work on noise. We work on getting the job done 30,000 They will pass through the service the commission Employee without segregation Focus on the quality which brought you to sit today in that chair No segregation a rural school is as important as an urban school posting very important Give the teachers the best I'll touch on this just about now Transfers you've got a message that families have been separated in the last seven plus years disjoining dismembering families transferring a teacher wife away from Chama But the doctor husband remains in Chama a Number of the people affected by this unacceptable policy are teachers. I Know We all know that You need to address that is together with cabinet office. I think a secular has gone already To address that issue so you have to work closely with cabinet office back on what if? Thank you So madam Chimuka Madam now Chimuka you have to work With that team there to actualize this this government doesn't want to make noise. I Hear people are saying around know the president is making noise He will get tired this fellow doesn't get tired to talk about what is right and to follow it through We want action The country was messed up already. We know now it's action to address those ills Promotions amongst teachers It's been an issue they go for further studies Come back some are not on the payroll Some are sitting home When a classroom somewhere needs a teacher a teacher sitting home, but they're on the payroll What's going on? PSS cabinet office now the Commission This government wants to report progress by mid-year on these issues progress report Action list We want to show a difference.  They're in class this morning as we speak. Where are they sitting own blocks? No No, madam No, PSS No cabinet office. No, that's why we wake up in the morning every day Is to address those issues We have timber here We don't want to import the desks from elsewhere. They must be made here Because one can't say no, I'm a Commission. I just want to make sure the teachers are there. They are paid No, what are they paid for? They're going to teach a child sitting on the floor No No in the past You would say yes The government say these things but did nothing this government has addressed that issue. How? CDF Enhanced CDF which we have grabbed away from corrupt expenditure, I'll come to that madam chiro We have now brought taken money closer to the people out of the CDF There is money for these things There is also money for water our agenda I've said this to the vice president before We want to be proud in two three years time that there is no government school. There is no government clinic where medical staff Teachers pupils go to answer the call of nature in a pit la tree There must be a water-borne toilet We want to be proud in two years three years time to look back and say no one is going to a A pit la tree in a public school. It is possible the money is there now But all of us working together state house vice president's office your commission PS Cabinet that is our job We have gotten to Mediocrity as a country to mean no more no mouse means mediocre it now first year UP and the budget There has to be a connection to change Zambians wants to see change You can do it.  You know what went wrong in that institution, you know You know what is right with the added experience of the financial intelligence center You are also grounded in terms of training qualifications Basic training does help a lot in your profession In our profession, what is wrong is wrong. There's no middle ground There is no middle ground. I'm following what's going on in social media People are debating. No, this is a ethnic victimization fight against corruption. No, this is a You know Getting at PS at PF. Sorry No It's none of that. What is there is that what is wrong is wrong Taking away money that belongs to public to the public it is wrong If the chief executive of the Drug Enforcement Commission sees a gray area That this may be wrong. This may be right. Maybe sits in the middle. There is no middle ground Taking away resources from the child For us to buy a desk as you sit you to our partners Being sworn in today. You are serious partners It is the duty of madam Chiro to make sure that money meant for desks through CDF is not taken by quick I return to that time in honor a quick They have now started fighting back They are behaving like what happens in our communities someone steals from a Widow selling at a market They run away They are chased as The distance away from the point of stealing increases they start pointing in front is a kawalala kawalala in front That's what's happened. The clique now is employing media. I want to talk to colleagues in the media to generate stories Diverting our attention away from following up money that belongs to the public by shouting kawalala kawalala For the international media kawalala in our language means the local language Nyanja means the thief I'm conscious that today whatever you say is global Please we should not fall for that Let us agree as a nation madam vice president Corruption theft is wrong. There's no middle ground Diverting attention The clique is employing people all over even new officers new ministers new permanent secretaries Teaching you the ways how to siphon money from the public Mary madam Chiro Those are your clients from the old order In the new order now, I'm following I'm listening just a few days ago Somebody in eastern province They have heard our message of anti-corruption They concoct a tender process to award a tender to the clique At huge prices Minister of Justice we spoke We are living with contracts that were signed by The lawyers who are supposed to represent citizens and protect citizens and putting clauses in there That are penalizing taking money from citizens Pay not clauses government Gives a contract to a supplier the supplier does not put any money In there there is a clause for a down payment 20% if the contract is 20 million Sorry 100 million dollars the down payment is 20 million dollars Which means the people of Zambia financing the supplier? Technically financial that's what it means Where is the risk to the supplier? Is it part of giving a contract to assess financial capacity? Working capital in the last seven years it became a tradition That the contracting officers controlling officers in the ministries at finance We are colluding with lawyers injustice to steal from the people and You put another clause 100 million dollar contract Down payment 20% means 20 million dollars No work has been done immediately 20 million dollars is invoiced Government has no money. It has to attend to teachers. It has to attend to other things nurses government pays 10 million dollars in that 20 million invoice then justice put a clause That's provides for penal interest charges Government pays 10 million dollars when it hasn't is still looking for 10 million dollars to make 20 million down payment Advance payment government is billed payout charges and there was an attorney general there I corner man I corner No No Then in payout is alone the government is billed That hypothetical contract over years 52 million dollars over time What is the job of the attorney general? What's the job of the minister of justice? Is to protect citizens you expect me to be afraid as president To say no to that and you want to start calling me names Call me more names I will be relentless Even if I stand alone Even if you threaten pulling down this government is not me you are pulling down you're pulling down the people zombie Absolute no eota of fear at all. So attorney general justice ministry support Madame Mary chair Support ACC Support DPP Support those institutions Don't collude with them as is the case is clear now we have to review those contracts Because vice president That domestic debt you hear is six seven billion dollars almost of domestic debt a lot of it sits there is penalties From our own money Now I went to school and I was educated by the citizens You have to work out my gray matter my brain first the way it was trained for me to agree to such conduct The fact that there's a contract signed. They are proved by attorney general a government lawyer And these lawyers who are placed in the ministries Really nearly approving contracts They're also colluding You're making her job difficult because when the contract is there it assumes everything is okay If you are not trained properly you say no, but the contract is here, but was that contract protecting citizens? No So most of that six seven billion dollars vice president is arising from penalties From our own man and when we go for such issues. No, this is again as pf I corner did you still for pf? This fight against corruption knows no pf. It only knows Corrupt people and that goes for people in business. I come from business When talking to colleagues in there that you were conniving to steal from citizens. Are you surprised you are not paid today? That's why they're not being paid because the economy was racked in 20 from 2016 7% down to minus. You don't have to be educated in finance to understand what was happening That's why mule arraigns is for students were withdrawn because there was no more any money in the coffers to a siphon That was going up Because of corruption and theft I've said it before Two three months. We have now established the bad news for the corrupt. We've established exactly what was the pattern in there So even as journalists when we are asked to run stories Covering people who have taken money from you. That's why your pay is low If they did not steal the money you probably would be paid better Connect these two things Miller lances were withdrawn because the money was gone There was no free education we've restored it where are we getting the money by taking it away from thieves We must stand together as a nation On this mat. I can assure you If we relax on the fight against corruption if we don't support mother marriage it were here We are damaging ourselves and the economy will remain down there. No matter how much work we do On the economic investment side all that will go down the drain on the consumption side Secretary the cabinet support this lady Finance support this lady and her team all of us state house Advisors in state house support this lady Secure it support this lady There are not many like her left the last ten years people got polluted all over the show They're not many like her You have our support madam if we do not stand together against corruption Seven years over leaking bucket no matter how much water we pour I used to say it in the opposition. I've now seen it The bucket will not feel The water will continue leaking and won't support the CDF won't support paying retirees, which we have done first time 20 years Retirees have not been paid Check out the Bloomberg report for the first time in 17 years the quatra gained again as a dollar first time in 17 years from 2005 That's not by chance. It's these measures. We're putting in place I hear the debates going on We've got too much to be used to disorder We try and bring order Noise Who is driving that that noise a small click of beneficiaries? This country cannot work 18 million people. Me. I'm a woman. I'm a wife Married to 18 million husbands. I cannot accept a situation that I Allow money taken away from my 18 million husbands Only to a small click of less than 10 families South Africa grappling with that issue we must do that and we should do it to win Not to try no your teachers want Enhanced pay once they become PhD holders If we don't fight corruption if you don't support, huh? We can't increase the salaries of that PhD hold. It's the simplest that why is there a problem here? because the clique had invested in Directing opinion Social media some pages Print media Even you who got something let me remind you you are getting pittance They are getting millions and billions of dollars. You are getting pittance. How is it that? after 2016 elections watch the cave From 2006 Economy was going up 2011 is that's Flattening cave 2016 it just drops. This is exactly what happened free for all Let us support these colleagues. Let us support cabinet office Let us support education to support each other What is right is right. What is wrong is wrong. There's no on the middle ground. It doesn't happen Have you heard the judge? hearing a case and says I'm making a ruling on this matter before me and the ruling is that it's neutral I don't know the lawyers are here. Are there rulings like that? But why is the country want to move in a neutral position on? clear matters So madam chiro There is a lot, you know Let's get going Tomorrow, I'm leaving. I decided to do this wearing in Even give you an extra day to get on with the job is good enough Call a meeting of your staff there They are good people there, but some got compromised over the years Proposed the changes you want and will support you Changes are not to victimize anymore. Changes are to improve The operations, I think I've said enough. There's no sacred cow none But we must not start shouting kawalala kawalala when we're about to succeed Congratulations once more to you two distinguished ladies Country expects a lot from you from us God bless you Thank you. Thank you, mr. President This marks the end of the swearing-in ceremony We shall close with a national anthem and there after mr. President may have a photo session with a just son in senior government officials


In today's tutorial, we will look at the addition of color Doppler while doing the fetal cardiac assessment. Is it a value addition tool? And if it is, then how do we use it and why do we use it while doing the fetal cardiac assessment? So fetal cardiac assessment can be a part of anomaly scan. It can be a dedicated fetal echo. So the guidelines, there are different guidelines according to if you're doing it as a cardiac screening or if you're doing it as a part of dedicated fetal echo. So as a part of dedicated fetal echo, all the guidelines will say that use of color Doppler is mandatory. But as a part of 18 to 20 weeks obstetrics scan, the guidelines have not implemented the use of color Doppler. They say that only if the cardiac anomaly is suspected, then you can use the color Doppler as an additional tool. So is it helpful then to use it as an adjunct in all the low risk population patients? It's a dilemma. What is the scenario in India? What is our goal? Is it giving a precise diagnosis of a cardiac anomaly or is it just spotting a cardiac anomaly and referring these patients elsewhere? There are different sets of rules in different parts of India where you are practicing. It depends on if the facilities for a dedicated fetal echo is available or not. Facilities for the tertiary care units dealing with major CHD is available or not. So if you are doing a fetal cardiac screening, an unbalanced four chamber view or a common AV valve or an abnormal position of the heart, these are the findings which are mainly related to a grayscale imaging. Unilateral perfusion of one ventricle, the AV insufficiency, the retrograde flow in one of the vessels in the three vessel view, these are the findings related to the use of color Doppler. So overriding vessel, the parallel vessels and one great vessel in the three vessel view might be detected on a grayscale. However, these abnormalities are probably also easier to spot using a color Doppler. So we will just see one or two examples of this. So if you see this heart, the spine is posterior, this is an 18 weeks anomaly scan and you feel that there is the cavity of the LV is really very small. Of course, it is not a very good section, it is little obliquity as you can make out from the multiple ribs which are seen there. But it appears as if the cavity in the left ventricle is really small. But then if you are trying to see on color Doppler the three vessel view, it shows a forward flow in the aorta as you can see here. So you are wondering whether LALV is small, so whether it is hypoplastic. On color Doppler, the inflow is not very well demonstrated but you can see a forward flow in the aorta. So you know there has to be a cavity of the LV which is receiving blood and then you make the patient wait for some time and then you start seeing it. Though here it is not so clear but you can see two inflows and you know here the grayscale image may not be very good but then the two inflows are definitely seen. So then I will think whether it is a co-actation or I will look at the pulmonary veins if they are training into the left atrium or not and try to see whether it is the pulmonary venous drainage problem. Now this four chamber view apparently looks normal but then when I come to the three vessel trachea view, I know that this pulmonary is very small and though of course the black and white imaging is helping me here, you can see that there is aliasing which is coming somewhere here and it is not even coming at the level of the tricuspid valves here. So this is typically an Epstein's anomaly, there is a regurgitation which is seen a little apically and then if you go back to this you know that you know there is a apical insertion of this valve, it is you know quite low placed, the septal leaflet is quite low placed and this is typically an Epstein's anomaly. This is another anomaly scan and if you see the four chamber view is normal, the three vessel trachea view is okay and then when you are doing the color study, when you add the color Doppler, you start seeing that there is some aliasing in that section in the aorta. So then if you do the spectral Doppler examination, you will realize that there is a very high velocity across the aorta which is 323 centimeters per second. So this is an aortic stenosis and then it may evolve into hypoplastic left arm or critical aortic stenosis and things like that. Then of course there are certain anomalies like ARSA, the operant rights of playbinatory or the vascular rings which are better demonstrated on the color Doppler on the use of color Doppler. So how do we optimize the color Doppler? How do we use the color Doppler by doing the fetal cardiac assessment? It all depends on the technique or the physics of the color Doppler. Size of the color box should be very small just occupying the fetal heart. The velocity scale has to be adjusted. If you are looking at the high velocity structures like to inflows or to outflows, the velocity scale can be on the higher side. But if you're trying to look at the pulmonary veins, you will have to really lower down the velocity scale. The color filter is the high filter is recommended. Color persistence is low color persistence is recommended. So if you go to the cardiac presets in your presets, all these things are actually set by the application specialist. But one should know how these settings are helpful in fetal cardiac assessment. Color again is if you are looking at the low velocity structures like the IVC, SVC or the pulmonary veins or you are trying to look at the ARSA, then the velocity and the color gain velocity can be low color gain can be little high. Color balance or the right priority is something which is always set at maximum while doing the color, while doing the fetal echo. The right priority is something like adding the color over your black and white or your gray scale image again, which is kept at a higher values while doing the fetal echo. So if you see here, this color box is very wide, you know, you don't really need so much of the information here. And what it causes is drop in the frame rate because this is too much of an area of the color frame. If you narrow the color box, look at the frame rate, it has improved, it has become 24 hertz and the overall the frame rate and overall sharpness or crispness of the image will increase. Now here the velocity scale is very low and that's why the color is bleeding. If you increase the velocity scale, you are seeing the better color filling but still the septum is not really very well defined. There is still some bleeding here. So then if you adjust it still higher, now you will see only the ventricular cavity is filled. Now if you make it still higher, what happens is you will not really see the color filling the entire ventricular cavity, then even that is also not very good. So then again you have to make the adjustments depending on which structure you are seeing and then once you see that, you can see both the inflows and both the outflows, the LBOT, the RVOT. In fact, you can see the SVC color and in fact the azagus vein which is coming here like this. So all these structures are optimally visualized, both inflows, both outflows, the three vessel drug view and everything is seen very well. So when you use color Doppler in fetal eco, again it is the same way how you do in your black and white imaging. You use it as a four chamber view at the outflow tracks, the three vessel drug view and for the demonstration of aortic and the ductile arches. So this will be the two inflows. This is the LBOT, this is the RVOT, this is a three vessel drug view. The SVC will be, the color will be in red in the opposite direction. When your velocity scale is little high to see these other cardiac structures, the SVC will not pick up the color. You will have to lower your PRF or the velocity scale to see that. Then this is the ductile arch, the bider arch and this is the aortic arch. You will see the three branching vessels also arising from the aortic arch. Then if you are trying to see the pulmonary veins, as I said, you will have to lower the PRF. Showing two pulmonary veins is mandatory. In fact, you see here both the pulmonary veins on the left side and one on the right side. This is the video of that and you can see the pulmonary veins filling up there. One basic principle what you need to remember is that to see the color, the color direction has to be parallel to your ultrasound beam. This is your ultrasound beam which is coming like this and that is why when the flow, the pulmonary veins are going in this direction like this vertically. So they will be picked up better on this section as they are parallel to the intonation of the ultrasound beam. So what is the clinical usefulness of the doing the color Doppler? It gives you the blood flow information, the flow across the valves, the smaller structures like narrow pulmonary artery or shunt across the VSTs. It gives you the direction of the blood flow, especially in a three vessel tachyabue. If it is an anti-grade or retrograde flow, it can detect some unexpected blood flow events like regurgitation, a turbulent flow across the aorta like we saw in our previous case or it may be in the pulmonary artery or it may be just a ventricle or coronary fistulas which will be seen in certain conditions like PA, IVS, intact ventricular septum and then when you're wondering what this condition is, if you put the color on and if you see these fistulas, your diagnosis gets extended by that. The demonstration of smaller vessels, the pulmonary veins, the abnormal vessels like napkas, the LSVC or dilated ozygous vein or the RSA. So all these structures will be seen while using only the color Doppler. So clinical usefulness is again there in all three sections, a four chamber, the outflow track view and three vessel tachyabue. So it will give you a supportive diagnostic clue on a color Doppler. So we will see on these different sections what are the clues on color Doppler and what is the diagnosis in these conditions. From this book of Abu Ahmed then Rabishavi, in fact there are more conditions described and more kind of conditions given in that book. So if you have a color flow sign and a possible cardiac defect, so in four chamber view, if you see two inflows with small connection across the septum, it is a ventricular septal defect. If you see two inflows with discrepant ventricular width, most of the times, commonly it is coactation of the outer. If you rule that out, then maybe some other conditions and then you start looking for that. Two AV valves are draining into one ventricle or if you see only one inflow, it is either double inlet ventricle or it may be a univentricle. If you see one common AV valve or a Y shaped kind of the inflow, it is in the AVST, that is it your ventricular septal defects. If you see only right sided inflow, it is hypoplastic left hand or mitral atresia. If you see only left sided inflow, then it is tricuspid atresia or a PIVS. So now if you come to the outflow tracks and use a color Doppler to see any abnormalities, if you see a turbulent flow across the aortic valve in five chamber view, it is a vulvular aortic stenosis. If you see no flow across the aortic valve, it is in the hypoplastic left hand syndrome. If you see VSD with overriding aortic root, then of course there is a big differential TOF or PAVSD or TORV or absent pulmonary valve syndrome or a common arterial tongue. If you see a large vessel arising from the left ventricle with VSD again, it is a cat. If you come to a three vessel tachyabue, then there are a lot of permutation combinations possible. It may be an integrated flow in the aorta and PA, but both these vessels are dilated and showing some turbulent flow. It is because of the pulmonary stenosis. Same way, if you see it in the aorta, it is because of the aortic stenosis. If you see in a narrow pulmonary artery, then it is top or TORV or in obstynes anomaly. If you see narrow aortic arch, it is co-optation. If you see no aortic arch continuity that is interrupted aortic arch and if you see a retrograde flow that is in the aorta, it is HLHS. If you see anti-grade flow but in the aorta, but retrograde in the pulmonary artery, then it is PAVSD or PIVS. These differential diagnosis, we will be learning more about it in our upcoming conference in the VTEL EcoMaster class. So in the end to summarize, we will say that a routine use of color Doppler makes the examiner more confident with this technique and improves its accurate and reliable use in difficult scanning conditions. It also helps in, in fact, in OB's patients when, you know, your 2D imaging sometimes is not very good. It is definitely a time saving tool. We routinely assess the fetal art using the color Doppler at all gestational ages from 12 weeks to 40 weeks. In fact, the color Doppler is of tremendous value in the early anomaly scan where we try, where we rely most of the times on seeing 2 inflows and 2 outflows forming OB at that 12 weeks empty scan time. So the key points when using the color Doppler are that color optimization is critical in order to display the best interpretable images. Smaller the color box, the higher the frame rate. The color presets for flow across the 4 measure valves, you have to have the high velocity scales, high filter, low gain, low color persistence. And the color presets for pulmonary veins or the smaller vessels, you have a low PRF, low filter, high gain or high persistence. And by and large, the inflows view and the 3VT view are the most informative planes while using a color Doppler scan.
