The following is a presentation of TFNN The power trading hour with your host David white Call now toll-free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> Now David white and welcome all to another excellent power trading hour as Always it doesn't matter where you're at as long as you're here and with me at the appointed time The following takes place between 2 p.m. And 3 p.m. So what do we have? Well, we're up a little bit Early expiration this month on the 14th the course closed on the 15th that Friday good Friday, right? so our Easter weekend so I'm gonna be having a kind of a front-loaded market here options continue to be rather bearish from option market makers for that 14th, which is what 10 11 days from now Yeah, had a frog in my throat Anyway So everybody's kind of diving back in kind of acting like nothing happened last week the biggest thing is The amount of stocks that are lower Are is pretty horrific compared to the handful of The usual suspects that are higher and holding the index is higher But as far as I can tell We're still for the bulk of the market in a Distribution mode and I think that goes on for a while as I said I'm pretty bearish I'll take any opportunity for bounces to add more to short positions Until the option market makers tell me now that I'm on the wrong side, but at the moment They're all there. So I don't know what it's gonna happen. We've had kind of the easy part In the market and now we're getting to the part where I suspect is the long Extended sell-off and we'll have days like this, but If we are in the bear market, I think we'll probably see the Dow and the S&P Reverse pretty much everything that we've seen maybe even into Friday in the next Well, I'll say next trading day by the time we talk tomorrow Probably gonna get at least started Wednesday is Delta neutral day and then I'll get a much better read Maybe they'll tell me I'm all wet, but I don't think so Volume has been incredibly light on rallies in the last few months and that kind of tells you what's going on As I always quote the CBO we consolidated tape We are just a hair under seven billion shares So this is a very light volume rally and that started off early in the day One of the reasons why we're probably kind of light tends to be Tends to be Probably because there's almost no shorts in the market. There's I'm gonna say we're probably pretty close and I didn't do the numbers over the weekend probably should have but just Eyeballing it. We're probably very close to some of the lowest levels of short selling Even in the Friday, you couldn't get anybody to buy any huge amounts of downside In the market by the end of the day, we were back down to some historical lows That's generally not an indication that you're not going lower But it is a big indication that if you go lower, it is significantly lower So if this market starts to slide over the next two Couple of days do not be surprised if we blow out the lows from Friday Fairly succinctly there are not many if any Short sellers that are going to be there to slow the roll lower We also have a fairly good amount of The Fed job boning and moving and trying to hold the markets up but hey, what can you say eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight and And What else do we have email me at path at tfnn.com and What else do we have? That's some emails already Repeat What's my take on Tesla? Well, we have kind of two things right with Tesla He went out and bought a big hunk of Twitter and my thought on This kind of all goes together he wanted to be able to do what other big Movers and shakers have done which is own enough of a newspaper or a Outlet like a cable news station so that you can beat on your foes because they've beat on you and of course, we've got the old CEO of Amazon who owns one of the Washington papers so he can influence the politicians but There's an old saying when I heard that Elon had bought 9% of of Twitter today and it did bounce fairly fairly well and that was You don't Was a quote you don't get in a Fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel and that was an old saying that went back before of course even television and radio That you were never gonna win because they're gonna be there tomorrow beating you up if they want to and there's not a whole lot You can do about it He wants I apparently for a couple billion dollars You can get the little just one tick under control of The amount of shares you need to to control Twitter So I think at the moment what he's saying is You know, all I have to do is buy one more percent about nine I buy one more percent and a lot of people think you got to buy 51 percent of a Of a company stock to get control There have been people that really had control with less than five or six percent. They just happen to be the Yeah, the biggest whale, but of course in an Atlantic Ocean, but You get the right things and especially people like to follow Musk. He's kind of a hide piper He certainly could get it and I think he just wants a fair shake. He's tired of everybody Trying to censor him. I know how he feels Most people are like that, but I think Getting rid of the Deadwood over at Twitter and a lot of the the folks that I Guess just missed all the history class of Stalinism and all the other kind of authoritarianism and book burnings by the Nazis but Yeah, yeah, like I say, I think they all those folks just missed that part the horrible part of Totalitarianism and authoritarianism, but Maybe we'll have one of these places. I this is what I don't think will ever happen at Facebook or metamucil whatever they're calling themselves today because you literally cannot throw him out Even if he went to jail for murder and never could get out you can't displace Zuckerberg at metamucil unless he wants to go he's always got 51% of controlling voting chairs by himself. He didn't even need his wife So not much you can do there But I think Twitter may get a free speech for free By Elon.

You don't know how many of those people covered That's from the FINRA data but you can see that As long as Probably the easiest rule is Tesla is not going lower as long as everybody's shorting And you had a little bit of a pullback out here. You don't have much in way of volume here but Friday was the first day that they got under 20 percent. So one in five shares were shorted And of course those folks probably were sitting on it all week long And it really just went sideways but One of the best patterns for Tesla is when it goes up on light volume and people quit shorting it you see like 12 or 13 percent maybe 14 percent Shorts for a handful of days that pretty much tells you the shorts have given up And the light volume tells you the buyers have waned and then you're ready for the next big ride on the Tesla Stock what would you call it Tesla? Eh Just the cult stock That's uh, I never thought I'd see one that lasted this long I still think it's worth about 40 or 80 bucks But uh, I do digress The question is when Does that last move start lower and everybody's in love with it? I know but uh Yeah, the price you're paying today. You're buying the next 30 years of growth already baked in I don't think any industrialized company Is worth that? Uh, it's really margins that are probably rather dubious But uh, hey everybody's got to have one of those kind of guys at the In history during when you live That is the pied piper<PHONE_NUMBER> The other question in here is starbucks as what's going on with this one It's got a lot of people in In the stock market really mad they were pretty happy when they thought that Schultz was coming back Not exactly sure why they weren't happy with the last guy But uh, he wouldn't have none of it Um, and of course, uh, they got Schultz back and I'm not too sure he didn't engineer this comeback Uh, but people forget why he was kicked out before and he was kicked out Although they were very nice about it And he was kicked out because he turned all the stores into hell holes Where you couldn't go into the bathroom because of the needles and uh And of course, uh, as the old the brother knew I wanted to say old saying go woke go broke Uh, he was on the vanguard of uh doing stupid stuff Uh, when uh, you are investing other people's money Uh, but he's back again and of course the first thing he does is say no dividend As I said last week for all those people buying stocks That have dividends If I am right on the market pulling back And I I think I'm 60 chance of being right maybe 40 chance of being wrong Maybe more But I I'd say at least uh the coin flip would fall on the side of weakness in the market through the rest of the year But uh, I do digress anyway on this just the idea cutting the dividend Uh, and some kind of veiled I would call it a threat veiled in new window that that money's all going to the bristas Uh at your local coffee shop. I'm not exactly sure how that works anyway But uh, if you've got stocks and you're counting on the dividend, uh, this is probably just the first of many Uh stocks over the next year year and a half that you're going to see cut dividends and why Uh, I'm trying to remember who it was. I think it was stocks and commodities Did a long-term survey of stocks Uh that people bought for dividends uh in lean times and uh They almost all had two things one the dividend was cut And the stock price went much lower and they lost a bunch of money Um, one of the worst long-term Uh plans is buying a stock Uh in a downturn because of dividends eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight Uh I don't know what they're talking about here Uh SPR I saw a very interesting article about the strategic petroleum reserve this weekend They basically said that they weren't letting them put in roads so that they could get any of that oil out So maybe that's why we bounced right back up on oil today. I never believed much of it to begin with Uh to to path at tfnn.com. So hopefully that answers the beginning of the questions out here today Yeah, I think that's it. Uh, anyway, yeah, I think this is the Beginning of starbucks going lower Uh Okay, got a couple emails here. Anyway, we're up 25 points on the s&p cash dows up 66 nas x up, uh, 214 And uh, do you got more emails? Okay, I deserve the best Okay, that sounds good. And what did I want to get here? Oh, that's why I wanted to get a little history repeating On this day in 1994 19 years to the day after microsoft was formed mark andreason and jim clark created the mosaic communications corporation Which later will be renamed at netscape communications andreason had developed the mosaic web browser While working at the national center for supercomputing applications at the university of illinois I was in a computer club with mark andreason in 1990 there And uh, he was a pretty sharp cookie. I don't remember a whole lot about him The only good thing was that he gave me an introduction to jim clark, uh, who ran sgi and of course, this is just a couple of years after jim clark had After What was that movie that came out the dinosaur movie? I'll think about it Anyway, I'd been out and I got an introduction and did a couple of summer sabbaticals Uh out at sgi, but uh, yeah I met both gentlemen named in the above probably the most interesting thing as I wanted to build a product for the sgi Which is a digital disc recorder? jim clark at the time, uh, this has got to be Right around here. Maybe 1995 or six Wanted to do exactly what microsoft did which is licensed His operating system for other machines and sell the operating system Uh, but uh, the board would have nothing to do with it He set up yours and went to uh fund, uh, along with mark andreason at sgi and cashed in for about a third time at silicon Having fun trading the markets but having trouble finding like-minded individuals to discuss your trading and investment ideas with Become an apex predator in the trading markets and join the tiger's den trading room only at tfnn.com The tiger's den is an exclusive trading room where successful traders from around the world come to exchange trades and ideas Join the den and surround yourself with the sharpest minds in the trading world Subscribers to the tiger's den are also the first to have their questions answered live on air And can privately chat with our tfnn hosts live during their shows Interact with other tigers and tigers as they share trading ideas news analysis and discuss the market action all trading day Subscribe to the tiger's den risk-free with our 30-day money back guarantee and become part of the tfnn trading community educating investors You could be making money off the stock market and if you're already making money off the stock market You could be making a lot more Check out tfnn and tiger tv and get expert investing advice to give you the power to control your financial future Go to tfnn.com and find the newsletter for you Whether you're into trading gold metals futures currencies or options You'll get advice and analysis to help you seriously get ahead tfnn also features trading services with a 30-day money back guarantee for new subscribers As well as tfnn's tiger den trading room trading software and educational webinars for all trading levels And make sure you check out tiger tv for free on tfnn.com or tfnn's youtube channel for live financial content From 8 30 a.m. To 4 p.m. Eastern on market days stop watching on the sidelines while other people get rich and become the investor You were born to be tfnn educating investors tfnn is excited about our new software charting program the art of timing the trade charts In collaboration with tom o'brien and using his best-selling book the art of timing the trade your ultimate trading mastery system David white has programmed an outstanding piece of software that will complement any trader's methodology Using this first of its kind program the art of timing the trade charts allows you to scan thousands of stocks for Fibonacci formation setups including guardleaf abc's butterflies and much more The art of timing the trade charts is designed to help you when scouring the markets for stocks Just beginning to form the trading patterns that many investors spend days weeks or even months Surging to find and right now we're offering licenses available at only 79 dollars a month We are so confident that you're going to love this new charting software that will even give you a 30 day Unconditional money back guarantee don't miss out on this incredible new piece of software Yet your copy of the art of timing the trade charts today by visiting tfnn.com This segment is brought to you by think or swim for more information Just click the think or swim banner on the front page of tfnn.com We uh take a look at it. We'll go through the usual suspects that are actually holding uh the indexes up You got microsoft up on extremely light volume on friday. You did 27 million shares today. You're just doing 13 This is going up right against resistance. You had one Close below the three by three. Maybe you get a close above it up here The next close below it my guess is where this thing is really going to start showing some weakness Apple also Popping up a little bit higher It has a basic similar pattern for those people that have Listen to the show for a long time They know how much I love jordan aptly's double repo pattern that is 10 to 15 days above A Three by three displaced moving average a day or two Below at a day or two above it the next move below it is the one where the big destruction comes Uh, but you got one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve On apple one close underneath it a light volume pop Which gives you a much better indication that you're going to get that double repo pattern And the double repo pattern is 10 to 15 days up Uh above a three by three displaced which is a little faster than the nine day Let's go ahead and show what the nine day looks like kind of the same thing But three by three just a little bit quicker to react. Anyway, you had uh friday still closed just a hair underneath it Now you're back above it, but uh again friday had 78 million shares 79 today. You have about 50 So you're probably going to be a little light even at apple Um So what else do we have out here? But a lot of these look similar in Lx we'll see how some of the dogs Uh that haven't been doing much are doing Uh and friday had 4.6 million shares with netflix today may get that Uh, you're going to need something in the neighborhood of five to six Probably more than six to get this thing uh to break above march 29th, but you've got that Uh to to what else? Uh amd bought uh the uh Company that's kind of big for them, uh in the uh server space And I think they only spent about two billion dollars It kind of interesting that they were I think at about 113 pre-market 112 something like that. Uh, they got um, what's the low out here today? 107 Uh and a little bit up off that but uh Not a lot of love in there Nvidia was doing better Again, let's take a look at this one. Um now they closed lower Uh on friday well actually thursday and friday than the trend higher Now you just kind of hit that today And closed back below it. I'd still like a close above This on Nvidia and then a close back below But we've got a lot of stocks that are in this pattern and why I'm fairly bearish out here Uh, and my scan, I don't know about one o'clock showed that, uh, there's a lot of stocks that could Again a day or two higher the next move back underneath that line generally Races back down to where it all started in this case for an invidia to be back down to 230 Again, probably better stocks to short than apple microsoft and Nvidia, but uh, they do not look good Uh to to okay. What else do we have here? You know, most of these things are just consolidating Even some of the ones that are the strongest The kind of the pattern you have here that's developed in kamiko Which is a couple of days of weakness, but light volume on it For ccj. You're down to three and a half million shares You almost into this candle from march 29th that had 7.3 million shares So I think maybe just a little bit more If you get down there with like two or three million, that's probably another good opportunity to take a stab at it gold Not exactly sure what's going on in it It certainly from the charts should have broken out last week. It did not it's up 12 bucks today But uh, it's exactly what I dislike Which is uh thursday and friday should have been able to close Significantly higher and move back up. This is actually a little bit of a danger zone Uh, and I would much rather pay a little bit more for gold Knowing that it isn't at this level here where it is Problematic, let me put it that way, but uh, you were up A little bit off the low on friday Um, I mean the chart looked fairly good And then nothing happened and that's uh, I'm always worried about the dog that doesn't bark if you get the Sherlock Holmes reference Okay, so we looked at that looked at that question about micron. It's up, uh, a little bit earlier a little bit stronger As I said, most of these stocks, uh, that I went through today at one o'clock were um a little higher Not much volume and look like they continue to find Uh, we as micron should be one of the strongest stocks out here today It is not and I think that's telling you something right there Uh Okay Did test the William Sonoma? WSM Well, you'd get right up to resistance again another stock with fairly light volume a couple of days ago You had 2.4 million shares. You're doing about 745 thousand shares Again, I think it the easiest thing to say is that you're going to go back and test the high volume lows that we saw Probably back on february 24th on a lot of these stocks Uh, and maybe you get the lower volume there and there I could make a bear a bull case But uh, there's so many of these stocks that need to come back and test it Uh, that just having microsoft and apple And maybe amazon up is not enough, which reminds me. I didn't look at amazon Same thing with amazon. You've got uh One two three four five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 You got two days below you got today up on light volume one and a half million shares Uh compared to three million shares on the downside on the 31st Um, if you do get another, uh closed below that three by three, which won't take much Over the next couple of days that would be a double repo pattern two and all of those double repo patterns Suggest that it goes right back to where the whole thing started in this case. That'd be about 2800 on uh amazon eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight And see what else we have going on here Yeah, I got mail I got mail Man, how long does anybody even remember a well anymore?

That's tfnn.com then hit watch tiger tv And we had somebody in the then bring this up. I probably haven't uh talked about it on air in a while I'm a big fan of the three by three displaced moving average And the idea behind the three-day move a displaced moving average is it gives you a little bit of An idea of where the market should be going if it follows its trajectory and gives you Numbers in advance Today of what you were looking for and there's a seven by five and a 25 by five that are pretty standard But generally what you do is you take three days so You take a three-day average and you put that three days into the future. So in this case 45 46 47 Right is going to be put out here. So you know that that three-day moving average is going to be 46 Three days ahead So that actually you don't have to have those So anyway, you put that three days So average three days you take that average and put it ahead three days, right? So this would be something like 44 45 and 46 for the average of those three days ahead and In the art of timing the trade charts, you'll see that this line goes forward into the right of today's date And if you go back out here and look you'll see There it is 7684 for the xle for tomorrow That's if we close here today So that would be for tuesday wednesday. It's 77 And Thursday it would be 76 83 but the whole point of this is to give you a ballistic curve of where this thing should be And when we went back to the other patterns where everything had been going straight up it is Three days or excuse me seven to 15 days sometimes even longer Above that line So just it's a straight parabolic move up a couple days below it A couple days maybe above it and then the next close below it is generally where the wheels fall off the wagon But that's called a displaced moving average This means you take a average mostly The one I use is three by three three days Put that average the last three days put that three days into the future And that's what that line is it's predicting the future out here. That's kind of sideways Oh because the whole point was that someone wanted to look at the xle and then we'll look at the smh's But Three by three is a good kind of short term trend line and it lets you know In advance what you're looking for Which is why I like it And it's short Then it doesn't get you too far off in the weeds if you're wrong Anyway going sideways here with the xle. I don't think there's much you can say about it. I'm not um Even with the SPR as I said, uh at the the beginning of the show I saw some fairly interesting were uh Interviews about how even though they were going to open it up They're not going to let anybody take the oil out And I think uh that word got around over the weekend.  So you can play word games, but uh, there is a decided uh policy to make sure that we do not extend u.s. Development of a look of uh oil Uh production here in the united states and it hadn't changed on even if it's already been produced and it's in the ground Down in louisiana somewhere. They're not letting them build the roads either so I would say that you'd want to stay probably long energy and not surprised that it's up four bucks today after the Announcement that we were going to release a lot of oil that apparently we're not going to release uh eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight, uh, we're gonna The other question was the smh's um You know, you're just back in kind of an inside day on friday for the smh's I don't think anything gets better as we talked last week There's still a lot of shortages in production, but probably the worst part of it is that wafer shortage They're saying that's going to continue throughout 2022 Or they think it will And I don't see how that makes the smh's any better If I wanted to go long or thought about going long, I'd want to at least retest the 250 gap we have When this gapped up on the 16th of march with 11 and a half million shares You really haven't had much since then you never really had a lot of follow-through You did have one day out here at a high with a kind of a doji that did Roll off. So i'm just thinking that this probably comes back to 250 it's not the end of the world for the smh's but It's not going higher either Okay Why we're in here was to take a look at More usual suspects like amat This one is kind of the pattern I was looking for in the smh's when you did gap up and you had some decent volume just a little under 10 million shares You got into that though with 10 million shares on friday And it didn't do much today. You got a half hearted bounce on about half the volume, but there's not much there Uh, we already looked at micron question about pltr. Did it finally break out of this downtrend? Yeah, it's kind of really Yeah, let's look at a little Sort of version you're really just coming up Uh to pretty severe resistance and this the previous high on february 1st at 1382 or no That one 1437 excuse me february 1st had 70 million shares You tried to get into that high again february 16th on 58 million shares Uh today you're doing about half that about 29 million shares So when i'm saying that the volume is light today, it is light now Do they try to just hold this thing up for a day or two for fun buying? Yeah, it could be And we're kind of pushing here a little bit now, but I don't think there's much out here And again the volume continues to be wimpy wimpy wimpy Uh Not hefty hefty hefty Okay question about ibb I mean it's slowly drifted up Again, you had about four million shares on the february 10th high that you're getting into today Uh, you got about uh, what 2.2 million shares now So There aren't a lot of people, but knocking down the doors to get into these just about everything Uh question about ung Quick look here keep them coming path at tfnn.com Yes, uh If if today was fun buying It would so they would be the last well You get the first three days of the month and the last two So you really had Monday, I mean friday being the first of those days you may have tomorrow Be back in a minute Sharpening your skills as an investor is like getting better at playing a musical instrument You have to practice sure, but you also need excellent instruction from experts at tfnn You'll get advice and guidance from the authority and technical market analysis And it's not just dry tedious text either tfnn airs live financial content streamed live on tfnn.com and tfnn's youtube channel with tiger tv Live every market day from 8 30 a.m. To 4 p.m. Eastern for free Each host is an experienced trader and gives their take on the market while taking calls and questions live from around the world From the moment the market opens until the closing bell sounds tiger tv has eight different shows with expert hosts To help you make the right moves with your money watch online at tfnn.com or on tfnn's youtube channel And become the investor you were born to be tfnn educating investors You might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market You're going to need a crystal ball after all it's impossible to predict the future, right?

Welcome to another episode of the Learning Loop podcast where we get to talk all about education. I'm your host, Chris, and today we're going to have a great show. Our special guest is Joanie, a technology integration coordinator here to share about how families make an impact. Today during our show, join us while we talk about insights, how family engagement matters, and what effective engagement really looks like so that practical examples and students and teachers can start to come together the right way to support student success. You don't want to miss our important conversation, so let's jump right in. Joanie, welcome to the show. Thank you for having me, Chris. I'm excited to be here and hopefully I'll come up with some good ideas for you. Oh, of course, of course.  We are so excited that you're here sharing some insights and you have such a broad wealth of knowledge here. We're just going to jump right in with our very first question and hopefully glean some things off this one right away. How has the involvement of families in their child's education impacted student success? Have you seen that happen? And if you have, feel free to share any examples. So I think that's an easy answer to see when it's successful. Families that are connected in whatever way they can be, I think that's the important piece. In the long ago years, it meant that they were volunteering in your classroom and they were coming to see all the events. And because of the things that have changed in our world and their busy lives, and most families have two working families or working adults are too busy to attend those things or many things, we've had to pivot and find ways to connect them in different ways. So I think even checking in on what the students are doing on a daily basis or having short conversations or just knowing what's happening at school in the way that they can, I think that's the most important thing. And so when families are engaged like that, they do feel connected to their student at school, but it's different than it used to be. Absolutely. It certainly has changed and we're seeing that continue to evolve and grow as we start to fall into what does that technology component that you have in that school, what does that really look and feel like? How is that different between each student and each school as you continue to grow with that? But I do think that you hit the nail on the head is that it's a matter of going to that core element. Like what is that connection? What does that really mean and how do we continue to make that personalized for each of those families and personalize that to and how the technology and or the connections continue to change. So I love that. What are some challenges that schools face when they're trying to engage all of their families and we're thinking about the broad expanse of families that are out here. Maybe they have different cultural backgrounds. Maybe they have different socioeconomic statuses. What are those barriers that are out there? And how can we start to overcome some of those in education? Yeah, I think one of the biggest thing is time. I already kind of mentioned that, you know, parent just busy families, you know, if your children are involved in anything outside of school, it creates another element of busy in their lives and then just their work schedules. But the other part of it in that and I think that we've begun to address it a little bit. There is a cultural cultural barrier for sure. But language is also a big barrier. And we've come up with new and innovative ways to address those barriers. But it's still, you know, it's not just language in terms of words. It's language in terms of understanding. So context. So I think, you know, in reaching out to our families, we really, really have to be innovative in how we communicate. And not always the thing that works best and easiest for the teacher, but the thing that works best for that family. And that really does personalize that experience because it's different for all of them. And it's a big job to be able to do that. So. Sure is. I love how you're really getting personalized, the word that you use, you know, personalizing that, making sure that you're meeting them where they are. And maybe that's halfway. Maybe that's 90% of the way for some families too. But just making sure that you're meeting them somewhere along that journey. Yeah. Is there anything that you can share from your experience that, you know, really helped you to start to overcome those barriers in your schools? Yeah, I think one of the biggest things or one of the stories that I that I think about often when, when we're talking about barriers and overcoming that is, and it's a seesaw related story. But times have changed with how we communicate. And as I mentioned, you know, we as educators have this, this is how we communicate. This is the platform. This is what we do to communicate. But we have never like really dug deep about, well, what does the family need to communicate? So one of our schools as seesaw became more of a communication tool with the messaging platform and different things. One of our schools discovered kind of by accident that they were finding really, really amazing success at connecting families using seesaw. So prior to that, their family engagement was really low. Like they were trying to get families to come to conferences, to come to events, to come to even just respond when they were using email alone. And when they when seesaw came about and it had the capability to do some communication for families, they turned that whole, they flipped that whole design and found out that they could get a hundred percent of their families engaged. And I think it's just twofold. It's like part of it is like they weren't looking at their need. But the other thing is just like it's quick. It's easy. They get a notification on their phone and whether or not their families had all the technology tools in their home, they had their phone. And so they were responsive and responding. And I think that's just that's just a really good example of looking at it differently. And that doesn't mean that that is the only way or that's the only successful way. But so you have to look at your environment, your culture, your students, your families and figure out the way that works best. Absolutely. But you did manage to find a golden bullet and or a solution for you for that school to get to a hundred percent is truly amazing. I mean, I think every school would really strive for that. You know, you want all your parents to be connected. You want them to be informed of what's happening and how to be involved in school. So to hit that number is truly amazing. That's so awesome to hear. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. It was it was surprising for that for the school to like, wow, we didn't we didn't consider that and look at the results. So they were excited. They are excited. Absolutely. Absolutely. It's the best surprise to possibly have, which is great. Yeah. What are some best practices for getting families engaged right from the start, whether this is back to school, whether this is like preschool kindergarten, like how can a school start on the right foot with those new families and or those families who are just starting the year here in, you know, probably about a month for most schools. Yeah, I think the biggest thing is to have a plan. And to have a lot of people involved in supporting it. In our district, we actually have a first trimester goal for all of our schools to have 100% families connected. And so what we do is starting like even before school, we look at the data that we have when we build our classes and find out who's not connected because we're lucky. We've been seesaw for schools for a long time. And as time has gone on, many, many more families are automatically connected, but, you know, we always have, we always have a large number that isn't new families, kindergartners. And so we look at that data and we target those families to make sure that they get invited. We do that in a couple of different ways. So the teachers are sending out their invitations when they send their welcome back to school letter. But they're also, we also have our office coordinators are seesaw admins in their schools. So when a new student comes or a student that hasn't been connected, they have the ability to just jump in and send that invitation right away or print that invitation right away. So having them involved in the process, like, you know, it's just normal practice for families to be connected. And then at open house in when there is such a thing at our schools, we have a station where it's not, the teacher is sitting there.  So I think, you know, just that team concept of it's not just one classroom teacher that is working toward that goal. It's the whole school. And it's important. And the fact that ever that it's normal, this is normal practice that that helps as well. So if you're talking about a new practice situation, you would have to build that culture of, of the goal is that this is normal practice for us to have our families connected. So I think those are, those are kind of the key tricks or key best practices tips. Absolutely. It comes back to this old quote of, you know, shoot for the moon and you'll fall among the stars, shoot for a hundred percent. And if you get to 95, that's still truly amazing when you think of the numbers and getting 95% of your families connected. So I love to how you said this is our regular practice. Like this is our expectation is to get to a hundred percent. And so it's just a great precedence to set for not only your culture as a school system, but for your community also, you know, they know when they start that school year, our first step is to connect and our first step is to make sure that, you know, we're connected to seesaw and we're informed in what's happening in those classrooms. So I love that. I think one of the things that teachers have done is that they've sent out, they've sent out, maybe they sent by email me and they sent it by seesaw. But they send out a letter that says, just so you know, this is the only email you're going to get for me. Everything else is going through seesaw. So I think that just, you know, like clearly this is what we do. This is how we communicate is also important. The other thing I think to get our admin on board with the idea is that we showed them an example of, we're a seesaw for schools pre-K5, so we have the luxury of everybody's on the same platform, but we showed them kind of a courtesy of Holly Scads, I'm not going to use her name, like an example of like if you are using seesaw and email and whatever other platforms and you have multiple children in your school, a family has to look in multiple different places for the information. So just making it clear, it's a free line, everybody's in the same place. That also has been contributing factor to the success of getting more families connected. Absolutely. Sometimes less is more. And I would definitely say in this case of keeping communications open and informing families of what's happening. Like you were saying earlier, families are very busy. And so how do you make it easier for you to share what's happening, keep them in the loop without overwhelming anybody. So I love that you're trying to make sure that that's in as few places as possible. You're connecting as many people as possible. So you're just keeping everybody informed. Right. What does this family connection, when we think of this from our educational backgrounds, we know what that means for us. What does this connection mean for families in your school? So have you heard anybody share anything about what that means for them to be connected, to be a part of learning at such a deep level in your schools? Yeah. I think the biggest thing is that seeing authentic experiences of what students are doing at school, and I would say more important than the activities that show this really structured, like I accomplished these tasks in an activity, those moments of the child reading a book and hearing their voice using their own voice and expression, those powerful moments are what families like, they melt your heart.  I think that authentic connection is the most important or the most valuable part of being connected to school and then I think you also find out what's happening at school, like what kinds of things are you weren't doing because the kindergartener that comes home and you say, what are you doing at school today? Oh, nothing. What was your favorite thing? Gym. We played outside, which all are really, really important but the family, there's just no other way and so when you see that authentic collection of experiences at school, that's a very, very powerful connection and that's what families want. They want to know their child is happy and has friends and is doing well more than just academically well but just doing well and having a good experience at school. That's what Sisa does. Love it. I love that. You hit the nail on the head as far as what I as a parent care about when I go to parent teacher conferences. It's less about the academics. It's less about the grade and the score. It's about, do they have friends? Are they enjoying school? What's their favorite part outside of math reading, ELA science? What else do they like to do? What are their passions? I think like you were saying, parents get to see that inside of Sisa. They get to feel that and really have that be a tangible connection whether they're on their device or whether they're simply just sitting together listening to things too. So I think the power that this comes with informing families and keeping them a part of the learning is just second to none. I love that testimony. Exactly. I'm going to ask you a throw you for a loop question. This is part of our podcast that's just designed to give you a little quirky question for you. Would you rather be stuck in an endless loop of bad hair days or in an infinite loop of bad jokes? Wow, that's a really tough one. My boss is a bad joke winner.  So, oh goodness, bad hair day, bad jokes. Well, you know, I kind of find the bad jokes a little bit funny. So from time to time, they might get tiring, but bad hair days just makes your day awful. Sure.  Totally. I think I would agree with you too.   Love that. Final question for you. We're thinking of what else can a listener just take away from our conversation? You've shared so many amazing things, but maybe we can share one last thing before we close up. What advice would you give to educators about how they can be most helpful and supportive of their students and how they can learn and succeed in schools? What's maybe one thing that they can do to continue to grow and blossom that family engagement environment so that they can really have success this year? I think right away of, you know, in our classrooms, we make it a point to have connection with our students on a personal level with each and every student that we have. And when teachers are able to do that successfully, that can be challenging. But when they are able to do that successfully, the students thrive and do better and feel like this classroom is an extension of their home. And so if we can think of a way to make connections with our families in a similar way, that's also a big challenge. But if we can find ways to connect with our families on a more personal level to make them feel like they are valued and that they're important to the process, they're part of the process, just at school, this is school, and at home, that's home. If you can make some sort of personal connection with your families, just thinking back on my career, those families that I had a great personal connection with, you remember them, you remember their children, you remember all the positive things that happened. So trying to find ways to make that personal connection with our families, I think that would be really important. Amazing. Whatever way that is. I would also say to continue what you were saying, the families also remember you. Not only do you remember those families, but they remember the impact that you had on them in the care that you brought to those conversations. So that's truly amazing advice, and I think that that's always what we should strive for. Powerful connections and memorable moments for everybody. Joni, I want to just say thank you so much for taking some time here today to talk about family engagement. I am sure that listeners here are going to pull away so many amazing nuggets from our conversation. I just want to say thank you so much for taking the time. Great. And thank you for bringing this platform to the people because the more the better.


About 30, 31 out of 100 stop-substance addicts have been given a new lease of life and reintegrated into the society. This is courtesy of the Christ Against Drug Abuse Ministry, Kaddam, an outreach of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG. Our correspondent, Jacinta Ubyoko captured the completion and graduation of beneficiaries from the various skill acquisitions put in place to restructure their lives, which held at the Inokanfulu-Adiboi Rehabilitation Center in Aragah, Equal Lagos. There are mainly social factors that have resulted in the abuse of drugs. This included declining family value systems, peer pressure, social media influence, poverty and unemployment, among others. These were once in that net until help came for them through the Christ Against Drug Abuse Ministry. Family and friends have come to witness the graduation of the fiftieth set of Kaddam, themed branded for Christ. Drug abuse among youths is already a time bomb waiting to detonate with devastating consequences if more consented efforts are not adopted to address the society's advice. There is also an urgent need to establish, support and encourage more rehabilitation centers across the country. The importance of drug demand reduction cannot be over-emphasized because if we continue to take out traffickers, as long as there is high demand for illicit drugs, a new set of traffickers will easily be recruited to feed that craving. Every effort to treat and rehabilitate drug users is welcome as it often delivers far-reaching results. We need support from everybody. Those who are graduating remember this Alma Mater, those who have graduated and from the general public too. Most of it's a faith-based driven program, NGO, but we expect that some of you will spread the good news so that we will be able to achieve this call to order. Some of the beneficiaries went back memory lane sharing their ideals in drug addiction. Me, I'm a go-go woman. I can't go for my life because when I was there, I was dying. People were really dying in the other house, like a cheeky cheeky. And I can't go today. Yes, you can see how we're all looking. Awesome. I can clearly remember when we came in here the first time. We were living horrible. Some people went through josephine for three, four weeks, seven, two months. They don't just know where they are. I'm going to tell you time, sleep well and I'll come home. Really, it almost took my life away. I dropped the pack, children from care and very young children. It wasn't easy at all. I had to adjust to a lot of things. I had to deal with a lot of things, open up to a lot of truth that I'd previously been in denial about.  I had to own up to all that and face those issues. Dr. Dokun Adedeji is the director of Kadam. He could not help but express his joy for the success achieved, but most of all urged that the society not discriminate against the survivors. When you see people that came in like wretch, and they see them transformed like this and then we are seeing this kind of beauty, it gives you absolute satisfaction. Society should understand that we need to give a second chance to these people. They are our children, they are husbands, they are wives. We can't throw them away. According to Dr. Adedeji, Kadam has created a continuous support system for the survivors that would enable them to thrive in their various acquired skills. Jacinta Ubuku, Plus TV News.

Hello and welcome back to the run-up. I am Maureen Menong, Izzy Gray, but following fears of violence and allegations of plots to rid the polls, the police have declared their readiness to ensure hitch-free and credible exercises and they have deployed their men to all parts of the country. This came as top politicians and legals urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, that's the INEC, to transmit results of tomorrow's elections electronically to its result-viewing portal in real-time from the polling units, unlike what it did during the February 25th polls. Well, joining us to discuss this, I have with me, Aleksda Wilcox, who is an accountant and a public affairs analyst. Hello, Aleksda. Good morning, nice. Nice being in the studio after a very long one. You're welcome. Back to the studio. Thank you for having me. In the course of the program, we'll also be joined by Achi Kecude, who is a civil society activist, a public affairs commentator and, oh, oh, morning, a technology executive who has actually created an app that could allow you to follow the elections even as they unfold. Wouldn't that be interesting to have that happen? Well, until they join us, I'm going to start with you, Mr. Wilcox. What has been your, give us a summary, though, your observation of these elections because I haven't spoken with you since after the February 25th elections. Give us a brief summary of your overview of what has happened and what we could and should have learned from it as we'll go towards the next elections on Saturday. Well, sincerely, be the cacophony of voices that have engulfed the entire media spectrum, both in fact, more of the social media spectrum. It becomes very, very difficult for anyone who is not an insider to really understand truly what is the state of things. But I know that when the elections started and results were trickling in, a lot of people were happy that results were favoring them. But when the results begin to become unfavorable to them, people begin to shout, to regain a massive regain and all what not. Is that what you observed? Well, that's my first observation because I voted in Lagos, I'm a voter and I said my civic duty all the time. I don't know the mechanics of the INEC. I also know that, I don't offer INECs, I don't even know the mechanics of there. But all I know is the project. Because that statement you made about how people were excited when the results were favoring them and when it stopped favoring them, they began to cry foul. It just, it touches me personally because I was happy after the results were counted and it favored my candidate. But my joy was lost at the point when I heard that it could not upload to the beavers. That was when I started being unhappy. And I understand that's what happened to many people. That was when they stopped being happy about the elections. Not because it wasn't favoring their candidates. No, no, no, let's be honest and be fair. Let's just be honest and be fair. We might have different political leaning or different interests as to who wanted to win the election. So that creates happiness or unhappiness. I mean, I'm sure of your polling units. When you voted in your polling units, maybe you were there and the river counted and you were happy. Okay, in my own polling units, I was happy. Even though when the result was counted, I took a snapshot of the result and I was happy about it. Now, when the- Was it uploaded to the beavers in your place? Is it my, how do I know? You went home? Of course, of course. The beavers were used to identify me. That was for accreditation. And somebody has corrected that the same. The beavers is for accreditation. The beavers is to snap. It's not supposed to- Isn't that supposed to have been used to upload to the IRAVs? No, no, I don't see. I'm not in the tech- Let the tech- No, that's the understanding we had. That's the understanding we had. Now, it was supposed to be snapped. I was told it was supposed to be snapped. And whatever, whoever punches the, whatever it, I'm not the wreck or whatever. But it is expected that if you hit a server, which we are told. Exactly. That's what we are told. Now, the result- Because that was the basis on which Nigerians had confidence in the process. The confidence we are talking about here. The confidence we are talking about is the fact that the results will not be manipulated. That if what was counted at the polling unit were taken up to the server, it will not be manipulated in the process. No, but what about- It is the process. What about the process of taking the results from the polling unit to the coalition centers? Manually. Manually.  Oh, because we've had stories where some agents- The agents were manipulated. Yes! Oh, one of the ones that do not have any agents. Let's not be found- Why should any- No, we're being very practical here. Let's drop emotions. Let's drop emotions. I'm not going to be practical. I'm being very practical. Yes, I've been very, very- And that's when I came to your studio. I'm being very practical. That's when I came to your studio.  So I'm being very practical. Okay? Now, let me say this. Even at the point when candidates were leading, even with the manual process, and they were leading, they were happy. Let me take later for example. The whole city went agog. Now, INEC has said- I'm also aware of the- Or you want to descantinate that maybe you're not aware of that. Well, let me hear. That INEC server was attempted over 1,000 and something times to be halved. Wait, 12 million. Are you aware of that? I was told, I heard. Oh, you were told. But you are not so told that- The other side of not uploading, you are not told. You are aware of that.  So it is sometimes we choose what we want to take and throw what we don't want to throw. This is because we didn't- The minister of information gave that information. And that was how we got to hear about it. INEC has said it.  And why were people so interested in the server other than in the process? Now, you have my result. I have my result. So why interested in the server more than the piece of evidence you are having? Did you see videos, pictures of some results that were doctored? Tipex, Tipex were used. I saw that all over the place. I saw that in Nanambrai, in Enugu. I saw that in River State. I saw that in Abuja. I saw that in Lagos. I saw that in massive places. All right, did you see videos of polling agents that refused to upload? Their body language was telling you. Matter of fact, in the polling unit close to mine, the agent refused to put it in. In fact, as he was typing and fiddling with the beavers- You don't type in the beavers, you snap. I don't know what you are typing. You snap the beavers. Point where a code was supposed to have been imputed. I don't know if I like, I don't know if that's... All right, fine, let's move on. What lessons should we have learned? Look, the lesson we should have learned is the fact that Ainekova promised and under-delivered. I remember fully well that when this bill of electronic transmission of reservoir was going on, a lot of people talked about inadequate infrastructure. And which is part of what Ainekova found. A lot of people talked about inadequate infrastructure. In terms of coverage of the entire country, either with the 3G, because most part of the country is still on 3G, most are on 4G. And this was complained all over the place. Now, how many... Now, so that now came out to become a problem for Ainekova. Because they were so excited, we are pressurizing, no, it was done in America, it was done in the UK and all what, and all what, it can be done in Nigeria. If you can have an ATM that is being, you can use it. A lot of funny narratives came to the fore. And so, Ainekova said, they are going to use the beavers to transmit results. Now, test run in ocean states. Test run in ocean states. Ainekova has three different satisfied copies of the beavers, three different before the ocean state Electoral Tribunal, which is not subject to obligation at the Court of Appeal. Now, sometimes we in Nigeria, we just tend to want to run ourself and then come to a problem where we now have to say, let's go back to the beginning. We were pretty retention. First, the infrastructure was not adequate. The training was not adequate for those who are supposed to do whatever upgrade or placement or whatever. The system was not working. I suppose there are some places the beaver did this, walking in for agitation. Beaver was supposed to be used for accreditation. First accreditation and second accreditation, that is, unlike the one you usually don't put in. The beaver was supposed to capture your image. To come stand. Yes, to come back to your view. That's what the beaver is meant to work. And in my pulley unit, I live in Shimola and I put it in. In my pulley unit, the beaver worked 100% in terms of accreditation and in terms of what's supposed to do. After the zone was counted, I left the pulley unit. When I came back, the copper zone was posted on the pulley unit. I still snap that. So that's for me. And at the point of talking about the server, I had to say they had to shorten the server because of the massive attacks that people were attempting on the server. Why was that happening? Remember, some people are saying they're developing app, they're developing app that will help this. And while they go through by saying it, they could do this electronically, multi-selection for somebody. It's all about the internet. People are saying that they could electronically, there are young guys, the young tech guys, they were electronically with selection. People were interested in the server. And because of, remember 2019, what did the BDP took to the tribunal server, server result? When there was even no server? A server that was not functional. They have repeated results into the server. Now, people are interested more in the server than in the process. So because they could not have access to half the server and to upload whatever their own form of user they want to upload. They create the entire system. Now, INEC has uploaded. So go down and confirm. There are imperfections. Go down and confirm if what INEC has uploaded. But when they did the batch uploading, not online real time. Even the banks, even places, even companies that have strong IT, their IT has been so customized and it's become very effective. They still do batch... The major opponents in this election are contesting the process and the results at the court, as we speak. So that is a major issue. The process and the results. Why? Because the process is what leads up to the results. The credibility of the process is what determines the credibility, the integrity, the acceptability of the result. So the process is crucial. The guidelines came out first. Remember the controversies about this. And you have alluded to it that there were threats to the server, the INEC system before the elections. That one would have thought... Even on election day. Good. One would have thought that INEC would have taken... And obviously they did because according to the information given to us, they were able to ward off the attempts. Over 12 million attempts, cyber attacks they had. All right, so secondly, the process were told the guidelines. Which was why, if you remember, before this election, many Nigerians were not excited about coming out. But in 2022, November, when INEC chairman gave that assurance, Nigerians were optimistic that, okay, because look whether we like it or not. There is the Nigerian factor. There will always be the Nigerian factor. So Nigerians thought, okay, if there won't be a Nigerian dealing with these things, writing and cleaning and erasing or whatever, if it's going to be uploaded from the place where we voted, to the system straight, to the server, online real time. Okay, we can perhaps trust that this time our votes will count, we will come out. And so when that was not done, whether intentionally or by accident or by attacks or whatever, as we're not so sure right now. Nigerians were dissolutioned, Nigerians were angry. Now let me ask you, what do you think, or how do you think this places in Nigeria, this whole thing that's played out in the committee of nations globally? I don't, first and foremost, the process is absolutely important. And the process is not important when the results cannot be important. Look, in every system, there is, there is even offices anywhere, the banks, you still have physical evidence, even though you have electronic evidence. So when you go to the bank to get your bank statement, if they print out for you, you can verify with your physical evidence. You might go to the bank and the system is not working. They will take your check, they will pay you, and then they will post later. You can go sometimes, they will do batch, batch of processing. Even after processing it at the counter, they seem to upload it to their main story server. They cannot do that at once because it's coming from everywhere. They do batch processing. I would like that to the IT guy, but me, from where I've worked, like you said, I'm an accountant, I'm a child accountant and I work with in organizations with such a nomenclatures. Now, I do not see anything wrong with the process. You do not see anything wrong with the process. I do not see anything. You see, this much I do about upload, which has taken on the shine. Look, every candidate is expected to have an agent in every pooling unit. The result is entered in form, I don't, I did EC8 or something, is entered in form EC8, signed by every agent. Copy is given to every agent. As a matter of fact, the copy is sent off for every agent that is accreted to that pooling unit. So you have your copy. I have my copy. Signed, stamped, including that, which is signed by the security agent that was there. Everyone have their signature on that copy. So it's simple. With or without upload.  The agent that is having a challenge, have his own copy. How did somebody who came forth in a state declared winner? They're talking about the government of a state, who put the demo. How did, why was he declared when I bought his Supreme Court? He had his signed copies. So even when the manipulated, I call it not, not considering what happened in the tribunal. Even when the powers that be manipulated and give victory to all of them, who put the demo, have his own signed copies, for which he took to the court and presented as evidence. These are my copies. These are copies. This is the next signature. This is police. This is DSS. These are the copies I have. Yeah, so they are contesting that. Exactly. They say they won and they are going to prove it. Exactly. Now I'm saying, my question is, how does this portray, because international observers, matter of fact, global press description of this process has been a matter of hot topic. Because from the economists, the New York Times, the Guardian of UK, the Financial Times of London, et cetera, et cetera, the headlines have been very, very unpleasant. What was the headline in the US election? Please, let me know the headline in the US election. I'm the one asking the question. Who is contesting it? I'm the one asking the question here. And we're talking about Nigeria. Exactly. So I'm asking, how does this portray us globally in terms of our ability to conduct our elections, in terms of our ability to protect and deepen our democracy? Look, Nigeria democracy has deepened. This is our 7th election cycle. Anybody who is discredited, both in Nigeria, because you lost or your candidate lost, who is discrediting our system, is unpatrotic. Because this is our 7th election cycle. We've come from the era of landslide and seaslide victory. When 25 million people vote for a candidate, when in River State, where I come from, you have all kinds of names, in the all kinds of names of fishes and the crabs and everything in the election, and they all vote. You have 2.9 million voters in the list that 2.7 something will vote. Nobody, and a lot of these all will be 95% for a candidate and we've gone past that era. We've gone past the, look at it. Now, I was so shocked in what you call the National International Press something, was saying that Ashwajib Balatimu was elected by 10% of the total elected that BBC.  Because of Biva's, we had the least, we have one of the least turnout in our election. And it keeps dropping every year. No, one question. No, and what I'm saying, even with the enthusiasm that a lot of people showed, like you said, a lot of people showed, even with the advent of the B-Factor that a lot of people now took extra time to go out and get their votes and get their registered and I can give ample opportunities and get, for people to collect their BBC and standard the dates, even put it on weekends against their own run of business time, put it on weekends, so people had their vote. Yet, the vote turnout shows the originality. That's why even me, I call it a Nigerian population, something we exaggerate there. Now, a lot of people that had double, multiple BBCs, they couldn't use them. A lot of people were used to have, naturally, right results, right results without any voting. In many places, you couldn't do it because the B-Vas was there to check the, just like the first machine that we use, that's going to bring down the number of voters. Now, the B-Vas, the B-Vas. Now, the first one was, is it what was the first one? The one we used for 2019. 2019. Now, that brought down the number from one week to half for the something million voters. It came to about 30 something. In 2019, we'll have to do something. This one, we'll have to do something. So, if anybody is not appreciating that fact, that the cleanup of a system is, it had, I mean, should be commended, then one patrotic. Because in every election, one person will win. Definitely. So, if you're kind, they didn't win. Is that important enough to reclaim the system? Now, people are saying, I keep trying to say, oh, we want to contest the process, not the outcome. So, if the outcome is okay, and the process is not okay, but the outcome to you is okay. Because the same outcome, which what made the law put to calculate the certificate of return, those are one, a synod, seats, those are one half of red seats, they all went and collected their certificate. So, the outcome, the same process, they put in the same outcome, and they all went and collected their certificates, and they're all happy, celebrate that they won, across party lines. Now, you are not discrediting the same process, because it didn't fit where you're kind of at the presidential level. They were being unpatrotic, and we're being selective. We're having selective judgment in the way we judge. I don't know if from INEC, I don't know who briefed for them. It's one of the most corrupt organizations, I mean, we've ever had, I don't know who briefed for them. I've not worked there, I don't even know who I've worked there. But I think as a Nigerian, I always say duty, to always defend the integrity of this country, and not to join unpatrotic, foreign observers of foreign element, who will not see what is wrong in Georgia, in what Trump is saying, in the US election. Today, tomorrow, everyone say the US election was rigged. Most Democrats and Republicans say the US election was rigged. What do you call it? Donald Trump is still insisting that it was rigged out. And no international press has said anything about it. No New York Times has said, no London has said anything about it. And yet, it's only Nigeria because you want to bring down this country. Nobody will bring down this country. This country is bigger than everybody. I will stand by this country. I love the spirit of love for Nigeria. I will defend this country. This is the country I have. All right, Alexa Wilcox is an accountant and a public affairs analyst. He's joining me to discuss elections and lessons learned from the February 25th presidential elections. And we're going to also project towards the forthcoming elections tomorrow. Stay with us.


I would like to talk today about the fever, which is one of the commonest presenting symptoms for the... One second, one second. First of all, introduce yourself. Okay, okay. This is Dr. Himanshu Lamba Consultant. Okay, okay, okay. And today we will talk about fever and cough. Okay, okay. Okay. So, I am Dr. Himanshu Bhattra, pediatrician at the Manipura Hospital. And I would like to talk about fever and cough in the children today. The fever is one of the most common complaints with which parents bring children to us. And first we have to make them understand that fever is not a disease per se. It is just a body's response and it is for protection only. So, no need to panic because of the fever only. And our main purpose along with diagnosing the cause of the fever is also to teach the parents the proper way of... so that they can have some harmful practices, which they often do. The first thing regarding the fever. To define fever, we call it temperature more than 100.4 Fahrenheit as a fever. And way of measuring varies for the parents how they are measuring it. So, single reading is usually not of that much importance to us. And for diagnosing the fever, we just want to know from parents three, four particular things. The first thing is how it has started. That is onset of the fever. Second thing, what we wanted to know from the parents is any associated symptoms along with that, which will give us the clue. Third thing is how child is behaving when fever is settled with the medicines. And lastly, the pattern of the fever over two to three days. So that is all what we want from the parents to tell us clearly. And based on that, we were able to reach the diagnosis more than 95% of cases. The fever in children is most often due to the infections. But other policies we also have to keep in mind always. And among the infection also, viral infection are the most common thing. So based on the onset only, a fever is high to begin with. And between the fever child is behaving well, he is eating well, he is playing. So these things indicate that we are probably dealing with viral. And fever with viral illness comes in a fixed pattern. That is after every six to eight hours it will keep on occurring. And within two to three days it will start decreasing as well. The second pattern of the fever we see is if child is having fever high to begin with. But he is also having some localized symptoms or pain we call. Pain in throat, pain in stomach and along with other symptoms like swollen difficulty or blood in the stool. So these are the pointers that bacteria infection we are dealing with. And straight away we can start with the treatment in this case. The third pattern of the fever which came across is low fever to begin with. But which keeps on gradually increasing day by day. These are the things we tell us that we are probably dealing with bacterial infections this time. And mostly by second or third day we get the findings also. Which help us in diagnosing that where bacteria is actually localizing. And the last pattern which we came across is that. In which fever is not coming in any fixed pattern. It is coming two or three times in a day, maybe after 12 hours. And fever is lasting more than four to five days. In those cases we have to think out of the box for the other illnesses which are not infection. Like Ava, Sakya or other things. And by just these points and response of the child in between the fever. We came to know about the diagnosis. And a few things which parents have to know are called red flag or danger signs. Which always indicates some underlying serious illness. These signs indicate, these signs include the poor feeding of the child. Fast breathing, child is extraordinarily dull even between the fever. Child is having the pain in the neck or headache and having persistent vomiting. Or some particular rashes. These all things can tell us if they are the danger signs. And we have to intervene and parents have to bring the child urgently to us. So along with that the main advice which we want to give to the parents. Is that about some harmful practices that is over covering the child at time of fever. Giving too much medication or repeating fever medicines very frequently. Or repeating multiple medicines. The third thing which we want the parents to know is the red flag sign. At which they have to bring the child immediately to us. So based on all this we can able to manage fever in the most effective way. The second thing what we have to want to talk about is the cuff. Cuff in children is the second common thing which we came across. And the cuff is also not a disease person. It is just a body's protective reflex. And it is happening in order to clear the irritants which are trying to enter the Ava's. So cuff is actually a protective reflex and not a illness person. And we do not have to suppress the cuff actually. And we have to just identify the cause and treat that cause. So cuff in children is usually identified based on whether it is dry cuff. Which indicate involvement of the upper Ava's. Or whether it is the wet cuff or associated mucous production. Which indicate it is the lower Ava's involvement. But in sometime in children even in lower Ava's we can get dry cuff. And that happen in like in cases of severe asthma or some type of pneumonia as well. And the severity of cuff as such does not tell about the severity of the illness person. Because in the more severe illnesses involving the lung as such. Like in pneumonia we get a very mild cuff. So cuff severity means the viral or allergic thing. Now to diagnose the cuff we also want to proceed in a systematic manner. Whether it is a sudden onset cuff. Which we see mostly in the case of foreign body or sometime in the asthma or allergies. The second thing is whether it is associated with any fever. Which indicates some viral illnesses mostly. And the other things are associated symptoms like an nasal discharge. And if a discharge is happening what is the color of the discharge.  So these symptoms pointed towards the cause. Like adenoids, like tonsillitis or pattern of the cuff which is there. The sound which is there. So sometime we get a hoarse cuff which indicates stridor or the upper area of the environment. Sometimes we get typical whizzing sound which helps in diagnosing the lower area of the disease. And the third thing is abnormal thing called grant. Which is the most severe type which we can be crossing the pneumonia. So these type of sounds which are happening along with the cuff helps in diagnosing that thing. And the treatment of the cuff is also immediate to treating the underlying disease. And the fever and cuff as I have just touched on the basic aspect only. And overall as a pediatrician is to teach the parents mainly. We are not able to treat them fully like in the cuff. But we have to counsel them effectively so that to avoid harmful practices. Same way in the fever. So as a pediatrician our role is to treat with less to less possible medicine and investigation. And to avoid the harmful practices which are prevalent in the society. Or the parents learn from the internet as well.


The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam according to his hadith and tirmidhi. He goes out in the middle of the night to do something. Anas is following him and he sees Abu Bakr Sadiq in the middle of the night and he says what has brought you out? Oh Abu Bakr at this hour what has brought you out? And Abu Bakr said I left my house on the chance that I might see the face of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. This is his best friend he sees him every day but in the night he can't see him. This is the type of love we're talking about. He said well to the one who won't see me on the day of judgment. And Aisha said radi allatah anha who's not going to see you on the Yom al Qiyamah. The one when I mentioned in his presence he doesn't even bother to send benedictions upon me. So we have to say sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.


I'm Dr. Stephen Pomeranz talking about pediatric renal masses. And I've got a five-year-old whose parents incidentally discovered an abdominal mass while playing with her child. On the left is a coronal T1 weighted image. In the middle, a coronal T2 weighted image. And on the far right, with exuberant fat suppression, is a sagittal T2 vaspe and echo image. Now if we do a little scrolling here, it is obvious that there is a large mass in the right mid-abdomen. And most of you would ascertain that this mass is associated with the right kidney. There are several components to the mass. There's a very low signal component on the T2 at the top. We see it here on the T1 weighted image, more gray. We've got a more solid appearance to the mass, inferiorly. And it is gray on the T1. It is light gray or slightly hyper intense on the T2. And then we see what looks like more familial renal parenchyma. If we go to the exuberant fat suppressed image, we see the renal parenchyma, portions of our solid mass, and this very low signal area that appears to surround the kidney, perhaps in the renal capsule. So on a five-year-old, what would you think of? Well, under age 10, you really have to think about Wilms Tumor, which we'll talk about in a minute in terms of demographics and commonality. That is a renal tumor. But the most important differential diagnostic consideration in a young patient, five years of age or younger, would be neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma and Wilms Tumor occur in very young individuals. Under age 10, in fact, neuroblastoma around age two. And we'll see Wilms Tumor in a similar age range and a similar location. But neuroblastoma arises from the adrenal gland. So the fact that our mass is centered down below and we have this periurenal area up above that doesn't have a shape reminiscent at all of an adrenal lesion favors a Wilms Tumor. Also, when you're looking at a mass arising from the kidney, sometimes the claw sign is helpful. In other words, you have a mass, here's our mass right here. And the kidney is seen as a claw wrapping around the mass. And we do have that here. Here's our claw, as they say when you're playing with kids, the claw. So we've got that present here, which also favors this as a primary renal mass. Now rarely, Wilms Tumor can arise in extra adrenal sites. And determining the site of origin, we're starting basic basic, helps in developing an appropriate differential diagnosis, along with identifying the claw sign. And in the axial projection, and perhaps in the coronal projection, identifying the adrenal glands. Now features that would push you towards neuroblastoma rather than Wilms Tumor would include calcification. We'll see Wilms Tumor calcifies, but neuroblastoma much more commonly. About 85% of neuroblastomas calcify on CT versus about 15% of Wilms Tumor cases. Tumor entacement of vessels occurs in neuroblastoma versus displacement or invasion with Wilms Tumor. Let's see if we can spot a renal vein. And we can, right there, that renal vein is displaced. This one is not invaded, and it is not encased. So that favors the diagnosis of Wilms Tumor. Crossing of the midline, which we do not have here, also favors the diagnosis of neuroblastoma. Now you might have nodes, but that doesn't necessarily count as direct crossing. Let's go over to our sagittal projection and see if our solid tumor is crossing the midline. And it certainly doesn't look like it is. The spine also looks clean in terms of metastatic disease. Also, extension behind the aorta through neuroferamina into the spinal canal and skeletal metastases would all favor the diagnosis of neuroblastoma. Age is really critical, though, when you're forming a differential diagnosis for renal mass in a young child. Because in a young child, remember, those of you that are taking boards, that are residents, that are fellows, that are internists, that are pediatricians, that are new to MRI, Wilms Tumor is the most likely diagnosis. And renal vein invasion, which we don't have here, is highly suggestive of Wilms Tumor. Let's move on with our basic introduction to pediatric renal masses. In this case, a rising from the kidney, which is a Wilms Tumor.


Hi dear friends, we are from the enemy Munich Germany and I'm glad to present you our study on chloroflexi from the North Atlantic Abyssal line. The North Atlantic gyre is one of the least productive regions of the global ocean and because the organic matter produced on the surface is mostly consumed during sinking, the deep biosphere of the abyssal seafloor experience is extreme energy limitation over the long term. For this study we retrieved three cores from 5000 meters water depth in the North Atlantic where sediment deposition is minimal. Depending on local sedimentation rates the sediment can remain oxy down core or rapidly turn anoxic in the shallow surface. Abyssal communities are generally very rich in chloroflexi indicating that this phylum may drive key processes in the global seabed. Our sequencing results reveal a high diversity of uncultivated clades among chloroflexi with different assemblages in oxy and anoxic settings respectively. In oxy red clay chloroflexi die off over 10 million years even though the relative abundance is proportionally increased down core. In anoxic clay chloroflexi grow slowly down to a depth of five meters and the relative abundances remain rather constant. Our metagenomic and transcriptomic data highlight which metabolic features anaerobic and anaerobic chloroflexi to persist in abyssal sediments. For instance anaerobic chloroflexi express a partial woodland out pathway coupled with hydrogen productions and electron defecations. Our study shows for the very first time that homoacetogenic chloroflexi actively grow and divide in these million years old anoxic clay. If you want to learn more about this intriguing chloroflexi that colonize the abysses please visit FEMS website. Thank you very much.
