Welcome to Nursing School Explained and today's video that will be helpful if you go into clinical in the pediatric setting. If you have experience with children or have children of your own, it's probably fairly easy for you to handle children of different ages. But if you don't have a lot of experience or have experience with children who are ill, it can be a little bit daunting to go to the pediatric clinical setting because they are little people and we don't really know how to approach or interact with them. So this video is designed to kind of help you, give you a little bit of an understanding of how to approach the pediatric patient and their family of course, so that you have a better clinical experience. And so we always have to take into account the different developmental levels and ages of the pediatric population. So starting out with infants from birth to six months old, they're an Ericsson stage of trust versus mistrust and their trusted person is always their parent or caregiver and in any pediatric patient, it is super important to establish rapport not only with the patient, but also their caregiver. So of course, we want to always go through the regular introductions, introducing yourself, who you are to the patient as well as the caregiver. And for infants, because we know that their bodily functions are quite fast, so the heart beats are fast, their respiratory rate can be fast. So we want to do that when they are at risk. So it's best to catch them, so to say, when they are sleeping or nursing to listen to the hearts and lungs and also count their respirations. And we always want to keep the most invasive exams as last in the pediatric population. In general, that means that we want to start from the neck and work our way down and then examine the head last. So that would be a mucus membranes, your perler, the ears, fontanelles, any of those things that you need to check. And then for an infant, we want to undress them, but keep the diaper on if you've ever taken care of a baby. If you take off the diaper, sure enough, there will be urine or feces coming out of that patient and it will go all over the place. So keep the diaper on to protect yourself and your work area. But certainly we need to take a look at their genitals to check for their normal growth and development and to examine that area. We want to evaluate their primitive reflexes and those you can separately look up what those are. And again, uncomfortable exams, we want to keep that for last. So if we need to take a look inside their mouth, we want to keep that for last. And we want to talk softly, calmly in a reassuring way, not only for the patient, but also for their parent. And if we need to distract them, so if they tend to not cooperate or they want to be a little bit fussy, a rattle, a pacifier always helps.  For example, sometimes they'll get them to calm down enough to where you can actually listen to the lungs and heart if you haven't been able to catch them while they are sleeping or nursing. Now still in the infant phase here, but a little bit older now, children from 6 to 12 months old. So they have a little bit more of a sense of who you are and they are more in this trust versus mistrust phase now. They know who their parents are. They can identify their faces. And so they have a little bit of that beginning kind of stranger anxiety. And so we want to distract them with a toy or an object. Again, rattles. Anything that makes noise is usually very helpful. And it's easiest with the parent holding the patient. And again, we want to keep the head, ears, eyes, nose and throat exam last. And one more thing to say, easiest with the parent holding. So sometimes in pediatric exams, you have to get creative. And if the parent is sitting there with that child on their lap and they are calm and they're cooperating, we're not going to put that patient in their crib or in their bed and take them out of that comfortable environment because they're going to start crying. They're going to be uncomfortable and they're going to be anxious. So sometimes you have to do your assessment while the parent is holding. The patient may be listening to their back as the parent is hugging them. So you have to kind of get creative and kind of work your way around to get the most cooperation. Talking about cooperation, toddlers, a lot of times, the most difficult patients to deal with because they're in the space of autonomy versus shame and doubt. And that's usually between two and three years old. They kind of push their independence. They want to push your limits and know and why are their most common words, it seems. And it's always important to set limits with them. And again, establishing of the report is super important. Involving the parent here will be very important and beneficial to help you perform your exam. And it helps if you sit or stand next to the parent to kind of build rapport so that the child feels safe for you being close to the parent and they see you too next to each other. And that kind of puts them a little bit at ease. Toys and books help to cooperate and allow them to handle the equipment. They might have never seen a stethoscope before and you come in at them with your stethoscope. That might be very scary. But if you show them, hey, here do you want to take a look at this? Or you even do a little bit of a role play. You let them listen to your heart sounds or lung sounds or their parents or you might examine the parent first, air quotes, to just kind of pretend to do. Then the child will know that it's okay for the stethoscope to be put on their chest. So allow them to handle the equipment. Allow time for them to warm up to you. It's probably one of the most important things. Communicate honestly and in simple terms. They do understand when you're not honest and when something that you say is not going to come true. So that's super important. Again, least the most invasive exam. Utilize the parent to keep the patient calm, which helps. And they do have a sense of control over themselves and their body function. So we want to take that into consideration. So they kind of already are starting to know what's going on with their body. They know how to maybe go to the bathroom. They're poly-trained or not. So they have some sort of a sense of what a normal should be, although they like to push the boundaries. Now over here for preschoolers, that's probably my favorite age for children between four and six where they're in the stage of initiative versus guilt where they are pretty cooperative. They kind of go into this imaginary phase where they have an imaginary friend. They get a little bit competitive. They learn how to play cooperatively with others. And they are happy to show you that they can cooperate. So getting them involved, not giving them options and choices is a good way to approach the patient. We want to make sure we praise them for good behavior. Again, head-to-toe assessment. Keep the head, ears, eyes, nose and throat for last because it still might be scary at this age. And have them interact with them but more so with them than the parent but have the parent there to help you in case they are a little bit on the shy side or they don't want to cooperate. Now school age typically is from six to ten years old. They're in the phase of industry versus inferiority. So it's best here to involve the child to talk to them. Of course the parent will still be there. To establish rapport, talk about their friends, about their school, about their activities, about their games they like to play, maybe sports that they're getting involved in. So now they are more into this cooperation with others and they are very proud to tell you about their friends and their activities that they do. Modesty in school age is something that comes into place. We want to make sure we keep them covered when we examine them. In infant, for example, that's not that big of a concern but in the school age child we want to make sure that we treat them as an adult and kind of keep their private parts covered as we work our way through the head to toe assessment. An assessment might be an opportunity to teach. So if there are questions or you can teach them that you're listening to their heart and why it is important and how it relates to their sports activity. So that can be a very nice opportunity here. And give honest answers. If they ask you a question, tell them honestly because otherwise the next day you come back or the next time they go to the doctor they might have a hard time trusting the professional if they were given a dishonest answer in the past. For adolescents, which typically is 11 years now, so fairly young, to adulthood and they are in the space of identity versus role confusion. And you can see there's a wide age range here. So an 11-year-old certainly is different than a 17-year-old and so we have to take their age and developmental level into consideration but we want to be pretty straightforward with them and almost approach them like an adult. If they are more in the teenage years where sexual development comes into play you might want to ask the patient who they want present during the exam if they want the parent to step out or maybe for all or only part of the exam. We want them to wear a gown just like an adult and the genital exam should be incorporated because we want to make sure that they develop appropriately to the tanner stages but we kind of want to make not a big deal out of it and you don't want to just play that you don't want to make a big deal out of it you really want to just incorporate it in your head to toe and the best way to do this is to look at the genitals after you've examined the abdomen on your way down to the lower extremities and it is a, this actually allows for time if the patient has questions about their genital exam or about any of their sexual development which some might be really shy about or some might be pretty open and ask you questions or you can mention, okay I see you're starting to develop pubic here this is normal at your age here's what you should expect next so kind of tell them what their normal stages of development are going to be for development of again pubic care, breast development, all those things so that they can kind of know that they are normal because many times they are very shy or too shy to ask about it and so they don't know what's normal, what's normal and they might not want to ask anybody else about it and ask them what questions they have if any so just like an adult, is there anything that I can explain to you today that we've gone over through the exam and adolescents have the sense of an eye and they are heavily influenced by peers which is also when they are at high risk for behaviors such as drug use or you know, driving without a seat belt or kind of high risk behaviors so education here in the adolescent is always important to kind of guide them and make sure that they are safe now for all of this being said depending on what clinical setting you are in there might be a requirement that you cannot do any exam on a pediatric patient without a second set of eyes whether that's the parent or another caregiver that's up to the facility and maybe even up to you what you are comfortable with and I just want to caution you that the pediatric population is very delicate and sometimes we encounter patients who have been abused in the past or who are currently being abused and it hasn't been detected yet so it can be a very, very delicate exam to do but to protect you as a student as well as a nurse as you go into your career make sure that you protect your license and that you follow your hospital's policies and guidelines as to who you should be going to performing the exam with and how you also very carefully document that so thank you for watching this video hopefully this will make your pediatric clinical rotation a little bit easier and less anxiety inducing I always look forward to your comments thanks so much for watching this video here on Nursing School Explained


Good day everybody. This is going to be a demonstration of the entire ease of figures and the company Vegas. This is a supine cadaver I'm standing on the right side camera person is also on the right side So the extent of the ease of figures is from the neck to the abdomen The cervical ease of figures is approximately from this level where my instrument is pointing to T1 So that is a cervical ease of figures Then if I were to lift up this then we have the thoracic ease of figures Thoracic ease of figures is from T1 to T10 To T1 is a thoracic inlet T10 is the ease of a gel hiatus in the diaphragm It is running in the posterior medias channel and then we have the prominence of figures Which is a very short segment, but we have pulled it down to make it look a little big It is from T10 to T11 Initially the ease of figures is situated a little on the right side and we can see it is located to the Right of the descending thoracic aorta But as it goes down at the level of diaphragm It moves a little in front of the aorta and it moves to the left and we can see the aorta is moving to the back So it moves to the left and this is where it exits through the isophageal hiatus So therefore abdominal segment of these are figures is from T10 to T11 This is only just half an inch apart from that There are a few other points the cervical portion of these are figures and thoracic part of these are figures does not have any Serosal covering so therefore there is no protection While the abdominal part of the ease of figures is encircled by visceral baritoneum, which is referred to as the serosa Now we come to the sites of isophageal constrictions. The first constriction is at its origin itself And that is referred to as the upper isophageal sphincter or the pharyngo isophageal junction This constriction is produced by a muscle called the cricopharyngeus muscle Which is the muscle of the pharynx and that constitutes the upper isophageal sphincter This constriction is approximately 15 centimeter from the incisor teeth as seen through an isophageal scope The next constriction is at this complex that we can see here. We can see this is the arch of the aorta The arch of the aorta as it goes it curves posteriorly and behind and therefore it compresses the isophagus from the side And we can see it here. It compresses the isophagus on the side here So this is another constriction and closely happening that constriction is this constriction produced by the bifurcation of the trachea Into the left and the right principal promise So these two constrictions together are considered to be approximately at the level of 25 centimeters from the incisor teeth Aortic arch constriction is from the sides. Therefore it is best seen in an anterior posterior view While the tracheal bifurcation constriction is moved from anterior posterior So therefore this best seen in a lateral view of a barium swallow This is a barium swallow to show the aortic arch and the left main bronchus constriction of the isophagus And the third constriction is at the isophageal hiatus Which is at the level of 40 centimeters from the incisor teeth and this constriction is produced by This structure of the diaphragm Now if you were to look closely we can see this muscle fibers that we see here This is the right cross of the diaphragm The right cross of the diaphragm as it goes it completely encircles the isophagus and it comes back again This constitutes the lower isophageal sphincter and this constitutes the Lowest constriction for the diaphragmatic constriction This is another barium swallow to show diaphragmatic constriction and a dilatation above that called the phrenic ampulla So we have seen the two sphincters and we have seen the constrictions Now let's take a look at the blood supply and the venous drainage The blood supply of the cervical to the isophagus is the inferior thyroid artery This is the thyroid and the inferior thyroid artery is a branch of the subclavian artery The venous drainage is to the inferior thyroid vein which drains into the brachiosophalic vein The thoracic part of the isophagus the blood supply is from the Descending thoracic aorta the isophageal branches and the venous drainage is to this vein here This is the azagus vein So this is also part of the systolic circulation because it drains into the supia venaigiva The abdominal part of the isophagus gets a blood supply totally different This is the celiac trunk and we can see these branches This is the left gastric artery And the isophageal branch of the left gastric artery supplies the abdominal part of the isophagus And the venous drainage is to the left gastric vein which drains into the portal vein So therefore we have a very important clinical correlation here The abdominal part of the isophagus belongs to the portal circulation The rest of the isophagus belongs to the systemic circulation So in the sub-bucosa of the isophagus at the lower end, there are small microscopic communications Which is not visible in a normal person And those communications are referred to as the porta systemic communications In a patient with alcoholic cirrhosis and portal hypertension These porta systemic communications become dilated And then they become known as isophageal varices Which we can see through an endoscope and these can rupture and they can lead to life-threatening hematomases This is a distinction specimen from another cadaver to show alcoholic material cirrhosis of the liver And this is an isophagoscopic view to nominate the isophagus to show isophageal varices, which I described just now The next point which I want to mention to you was about the nerve supply of the isophagus We have seen this nerve here and we can see this nerve here This is the right vagus and we can see the right vagus is coming down from the neck And it is going in front of the subclavian artery and is entering into the thorax It is going behind the column of the lung Similarly the left vagus, this is the left vagus And we can see it is coming in the carotid sheath It goes behind the column of the left lung And below the column it breaks up into a plexus And we have removed most of the plexus, but we can see some of the fibres of the plexus here And after that the left vagus comes anterior and we can see that here It is curving anteriorly And the right vagus goes posterior and we can see it is going posterior And both of them exit the thorax through the same hiatus. That's the isophageal hiatus The left vagus or the anterior vagus is the smaller one It supplies only the anterior part of the stomach And it supplies the hepatic and the biliary plexus The right vagus, the posterior vagus is the larger one and it supplies up to the neck Cervical isophagus and the thoracic isophagus The cervical isophagus drains into the lower deep cervical nodes And the thoracic isophagus, it drains into the stereometastinal nodes While the abdominal isophagus, it drains into the celiac nodes Cancer of the thoracic isophagus and the cervical isophagus, they tend to spread very rapidly Because there is no cirrhosis covering And therefore cancer of the isophagus is very difficult to treat And the life expectancy and the prognosis is very poor The best way to study the isophagus is by means of a barium swallow Followed by isophagoscopy Another gold standard test for the isophagus is isophageal pressure recording Which is referred to as isophageal manometry Which is required in mortality disorders, which I will describe just now And because there is no cirrhosis covering in the thoracic part of the isophagus While doing an isophagoscopy, rupture of the isophagus And various units is a likely possibility And finally some other pathologies pertaining to the isophagus Sometimes there may be a mismatch in the peristaltic constrictions of the isophagus And that can lead to dysphagia One such condition is referred to as press by isophagus And the other is what is known as diffuse isophageal spasm They are all because of abnormalities of the parasympathetic supply of the isophagus So these are some of the points which I wanted to mention to you about the isophagus And the vagus nerve in the cervical region, thoracic region and the abdominal region


Welcome. This is the world premiere of the heating pie. Nobody has seen this apart from you. So, I thought nest great, hive great, looks lovely, but it has the same concerns that I know the OpenTRV guys are looking at. It is essentially one sensor, probably in a really awful place in your house that just, you know, doesn't work. You might, if you're lucky, have a two zone system if you're really posh, but really that's about as far as it goes. So then, yep, your entire house fires up, but I don't live my life in my entire house at one time. So, I go to bed, I want to be warm at night, I get up, I have my breakfast, then I go out to work and then I come home and I might want my dinner and then maybe I'll spend some time in the living room. So I'm moving around my house and I know roughly where I'm going to be and when I'm going to be there. So, a sensor in the hall that turns on the whole damn house at once when there's really just me, the lodger and the cat is not terribly effective. So, I thought, you know, carbon guilt, maybe I can reduce things a bit. I wasn't really doing this to save any money. I just thought it'd be nice to burn less carbon and maybe eventually it'll pay for itself as well. So, the other major problem you've got with certainly dumb timers is that at best you've got a two day weekend. But I know lots of people and I used to be one of them where maybe you get Saturday off and then maybe you get Wednesday off. So your standard five day, two day set up, no bleeding use whatsoever. You end up turning it on and off manually again at which point, what's the point in having a timer? So, this is the heating pie. Now, I know, it's an exciting box. So, that's the heating pie. There you go. So, the major driver of this as well is I wanted to do this totally off the shelf. I wanted to do it cheap. I wanted to do it easily replaceable by anybody, i.e. the main brain of the computer which is always the expensive bit. I didn't want that to be in any way proprietary. I wanted you to basically be able to buy or implement this bit and then if this bit goes wrong, which is normally the expensive bit, you just buy another one and shove it in there. And that's why I went for the pie. Everybody can get hold of a pie.  The rest of it, you can indeed bolt together yourself as did I. Or maybe I'm thinking for heating pie 2.0. It might be nice to make all of this and then just plug your pie in if maybe you're not keen on doing all this soldering and wiring and all this malarkey. But the whole point was the expensive bit normally is the computer. Pies are not at all expensive and you can get them anywhere. So, okay. So, this bit standard. This bit, about 8 quid on eBay. That's a load of relays that are switching, in my case, 240 volts out to the radiator valves. And then the only slightly unusual tricky bit is the middle board here, which I made my very self. It was very exciting. You've got a bridge across from the pie. You've got hidden under there, but we'll see it in a minute. There's a couple of pin headers that go out to this lot.  So, I needed the diodes because I found out that if you turn on two of these channels at once they start backfeeding into all the other ones and then all these little LEDs on the relay boards start lighting when they shouldn't do. So, the reason for that is because all of these diodes connect to one central rail here would then also turn on relay 8. And that's the one that controls the boiler. So, in other words, if any one of these radiator valves are switched then the boiler also comes on because you need the boiler to work. That's quite important otherwise you don't get any heat at all. So, okay. So that's the point at which you could be easily pairing two pins together, backfeeding, blow your pie. Well, I didn't. I got away with it. So, okay.  It might be worth checking if you are installing your own system whether that's actually the case. But, yeah. Now, I know the OpenTRV guys said a couple of years ago they might actually blow up a boiler. So, I was quite keen not to do that. But having already installed my own boiler at the time I knew it was just a question of closing a switch. So, that's easy. So, all of that switch in 240V that's just closing a switch on the boiler.  The other parts of this that's 240V live. I couldn't get a red one. That's 240V neutral. So, the relays are basically interrupting live there and the common neutral goes onto these what you call them, chocolate blocks, terminal blocks. So, I've realised in doing this, this is very much a prototype stage as I'm sure is very obvious that you could probably make it hell of a lot smaller. You don't need this at all. You can just daisy chain your negative across all of these three so you can get rid of that. That saves you about eight quid right away. I think for development purposes this could maybe developed as a pie hat. So, it will just chuck straight on and then you just pin out to the relay and then version three might be to say okay, maybe incorporate all of this bit into one actual board then just connects into the pie hat and what you end up with is something about the size of a domestic router. So, rather smaller than this lot but hey, this works and I made it, which is great. So, that's your middle board. In comes your pie header. There's your three pinouts for your thermo sensors. They need a 4K7 resistor. So, put that on the board and in workouts as well turns out I did a couple of bits wrong, whatever. This is your 5V out which runs the relay board because that needs 5V power supply and the pie will give it one so that's great and then you've got all your connectors out to your relay and there's your diodes out to your common rail which then switches out for the heating sorry, for the boiler itself, right? So, any time you bring these live your diodes come out bring live this common rail which switches your boiler, is that clear? Good. So, okay. I looked at wireless heating valves and they were either very expensive or they were proprietary or they weren't ready yet or I didn't understand them or I thought well I'm going to have to put batteries all around the house and I don't like batteries because they're not very green and I thought I don't have a wife so I don't have to worry about cables I can just, you know, and boxes on walls I don't have to worry about anybody's aesthetic sense I just want somebody to turn me heating on and off so, no problem I just bought 25 quid each some heating valves and they run on 240 volts they do do a version that's 24 volts and I think if I were commercialising this in any way and sticking with the wired approach I'd probably go 24 volts because I don't like being sued if anybody zaps themselves so, whatever it basically just daisy chains across into this very neat and tidy wiring system here which is just a replica really of what was in the other end, boxes in the other end so it just keeps daisy chaining round so, what you've got I've gone for seven core because it was available and cheap you've got three sets here which is you've got grounds, you've got live and you've got data probably got the wrong wiring but those three basically are dealing with this sensor here you've got your common 240 volt negative and then one, two, three channels of 240 volt live so, in this particular instance I've got this controller wired into channel one so in the other two rooms you've got channel common negative channel two channel two, common negative channel three there's no reason why you couldn't go for ten core mains if you wanted to it's just that seven core was cheap and where I've got my box I can go one way I can go the other way seven core meets my needs but you can do what you want it doesn't matter so, there is another resistor in here because I was playing with it but I hope they'll out later this, by the way is a Dallas Systems DS1820 which you can get Chinese copies of this is a Chinese copy for about a pound on eBay you can buy them in batches of ten they're stupid cheap so, the nice thing about this is you can have as many sensors as you like all on these three lines the other sensor I was using was very nice because it measured humidity as well but you would need one set of lines per unit so you've got a 40 pin header on your pie suddenly you're out of pins if you have any size house whereas this, you're only going to use three headers on the pie so that's why I moved to this particular sensor it's also quite nice so that's a close up exactly the same photograph I've just cropped it down three data lines, common negative one, two, three, 240 volt dead easy there you go I'm sure you can all read yep, basically everything I've just said I've preempted myself no problem so, it cost me about 400 notes to pull all this lot together now, I am actually very interested in talking to the OpenTRV guys because I've read their website and apparently you can get an OpenTRV for about a tenner so, if they can bring their cost down to that point that's a hell of a lot less than the 25 quid I paid to the Danfos Randall guys so that really brings your prices down straight away and equally, you can do things with the control box and the enclosed parts and whatever but wires I'm afraid cost you money no matter what you do, you run wires it costs you cash because cop is pricey not so much as it was the other thing I've found, and this is quite interesting if you turn on your entire house at the same time the entire house heats the entire house you snatch heat from each room or you leave a couple of doors open and you get a bit of circulation, whatever I get cold at night and I was finding that with this system with my existing radiator I was freezing because I was only heating my bedroom and not the rest of the house so I don't get to steel heat from anywhere else from below, from besides, whatever so I had to spend a little bit more money putting bigger radiators in my room and in my lodger's room so that was an expert expense that not everybody would face basically I had my heating system originally fitted on the cheap and so I've had to spend a bit more money later so key lesson, big radiators everywhere because you're only running that one radiator at a time and the other thing I found was that I listened to my boiler and I can hear the pump constantly circulating but the boiler isn't firing because the water temperature has not yet dropped enough because you have not yet lost enough heat from the circuit so if you're only firing one radiator at a time you can't dump that heat quick enough so bigger radiators dump the heat and the boiler will thank you and you'll actually get some heat which is always an advantage in a heating system so the only other radiator you're going to need in common with any system that's got thermostatic radiator valves you will have to have one radiator that's open circuit I chose the one that's in my, what you call it, hallway because, well, it's only small and it's fine so that's quite a common way to do it so the other thing I wanted to do I hear what the OpenTRV guys are saying about not wanting loads of apps and web pages and none of that I like web pages so here's mine, there you are so when you log on to the eating pie this is the first page you see there is also a clock in the top right corner that I haven't screenshoted that was important because I did have a failure where I couldn't work out why all the timings were off and it turns out that the clock was wrong so now I just print the time on the page so you can look at it and know instantaneously that your time is right I also run a cron job every hour to just ask for the time just to make sure we have actually got the right time so it's fairly clearly laid out you can label these anything you like these are the temperatures you want this is obviously bollocks, nobody wants 10 Celsius this is the temperatures you actually got at this actual moment now this is quite clever because bash doesn't do decimals but it turns out that the Dallas systems themselves do they do decimals as to the power of a thousand so you get five numbers so you can just grab the first two, print a dot then grab the next character, print that to me text file which I come to in a minute so even though bash doesn't do decimals you can do decimals you just got to script it, no worries and then just for the sake of I know what's going on have I actually got any radiators on or off at this present moment just as I can see it as a snapshot so this is my bathroom again this is not live obviously so temperature I've got, temperature I want I can select a new temperature at any time and it will maintain that temperature until the next change point so if I set it now then at 6.30 tonight it'll change to the next selected temperature so if I change it now I've got that temperature for right through till 6.30 so this bit comes back to scheduling some people have crazy lifestyles you notice I've got a different pattern to weekend to weekday but again I might be off on Wednesday so I might have a different pattern there ok the other cool thing from my bathrooms point of view 11 o'clock in the morning 25 Celsius my tower radiator comes on yeah ok why not you can do this I'm not turning on the whole house this is my bathroom it is a tower radiator let's dry my towels for half an hour why not bit of code this is run as a cron job so the first thing I found is you need to actually change into your working directory the next thing you do and this took me some sorting out the thermostats themselves if you leave them running all day they break so what I've done I turn them on I wait 15 seconds for them all to settle in pole I use them and I turn them off and then they don't break which is always a plus so the other important safety concern once you've turned them all on and waited for 15 seconds you've got to check that they actually work because if you don't do that the entire house turns on for hours so have I got any output from room 1 radiator if I have great if I haven't this circuit turns off every radiator in the house so the failsafe is that if it doesn't work everything goes off a rather cold house than an expensive hot house on balance so we've got a nice little script here I haven't screen shot it but it grabs the current time and then rounds it down to the last quarter hour because my schedule is on a quarter hour basis that's how granular we go which comes back to this one see, quarter hour points so the next thing it does is it works out what day it is that's important because you have to know which column of my schedule you're looking at so all it does is it sets a character offset I know I'm looking at column 6 that's fine this is the actual schedule so here's your quarter hour segments here's your columns for the different days of the week so that previous bit just says yeah fine I'll have this column at that time okay so I don't know what I'm doing this was a project I know how I'm going to do heating by 2.0 for now this works so what we do is we say yeah okay what's all the temperatures of all the rooms at the moment write them out to text files it turns out that four loops are really handy because what I was doing was just repeating this text seven times and changing one value each time which is stupid so yeah and it also sends them out to the log so I've got logs of every day for the last several months if I want it then okay we say what temperature do we want what temperature do we have shall we turn on a radiator the next part of the code for all every single room what temperature do we want what temperature do we have shall we turn off a radiator now this is really important to do it this way around I don't know for sure but I'm fairly sure that if I told my radiator to turn off and then a millisecond later turn it to turn on again it'll probably get quite upset whereas if you do all of your on's first then you're never going to be in a situation where you turn off then on again you're already on so the worst case scenario you turn everything off that's fine radiator's happy but telling it to turn everything off and then turning one radiator back on again immediately not going to make it very happy okay so the very last piece of the script basically you remember we turn off all the thermosensors and then we copy the very last bit of heating.log to lastlog.txt just so I can get the very last cycle very easily so and that's a not the full screen print but that's basically the directory layout so I've got one script which you've just seen called onoff.shell which occasionally calls from various other ones you've got the relay python there and then each room's got its own bit that deals with the schedule what values, what temperature you want and what temperature you presently have so heating pi 2.0 this is where I'm going so yes we've already talked about possible radio control of the valves custom boards whatever right the major thing is the way I did this I wanted to understand it which I felt was important because it was my project that's why I went for bash that's why I stole various bits of python from other people that's why I did not use a database because I've never used a database and quite honestly I had enough on just doing this lot so next iteration probably will give me databases with user account control because I think of something that may be sellable to people in the future so you send out your pi with the SD card already loaded and you can set it up yourself at home possibly I don't know so maybe there's possibility of making some money and managing this for people I don't know I haven't really thought about that far I'm just using raspberry OS so maybe I can strip some of that out and make it smaller because why wouldn't you and then yeah this whole thing with writing out to text files all the time and reading back in again maybe I could just do that and ram save a few writes to the card and what not maybe help with reliability and maybe there's just no need to do it that way anyway so yeah middle board could be a pi hat I'd like to make some money out of this and I know the OpenTRV guys have had various grants along the way and I'm actually quite interested in that so that basically is your lot does anybody have any questions thank you


Live from San Francisco, it's theCUBE. Covering Google Cloud Next 19, brought to you by Google Cloud and its ecosystem partners. Everyone, welcome back to theCUBE coverage here live in San Francisco for Google Cloud Next 2019. I'm John Furrier, my co-host Dave Vellante, student minimums also here, doing interviews without getting stories and reporting them. We've got two great guests here for you for a while, who's the global head of industry solutions for retail at Google Cloud and Richard Soldenberg, who's the digital workspace manager again. Thanks for coming on theCUBE, appreciate it. Thank you for having us. So we've been talking about, just talked about security. You know, the devices now can have a key inside the Android device. We're a big G Suite user, productivity is really important, but the IT world has changed. So how is that all coming together? What's the big story? You know, retail is an incredibly important sector for us and G Suite is a very important product suite for retailers. We're seeing a lot of adoption of G Suite from different kinds of retailers around the world. They're coming to us to solve some very specific challenges they face. They want to reduce or eliminate the information silos they have in their organization. They want to be able to foster and improve communication and collaboration within the organization. And they want to get rid of innovation processes they have in the organization. So we're very excited to see the adoption that we have with retailers coming onto G Suite. And the retail, obviously there's a lot of dynamics going on, very data driven, huge opportunity. What's your story? What's your relationship with Google? You as a customer, what's your implementation? Well we have been using G Suite for quite some time. We have been using it since 2010 I think. From the beginning it was more of a consumer product back then when we started using it. But today it's really enterprise friendly and we can use it in all aspects of our business especially out to retail as well. It's just going to see how the cloud is kind of changing shape of G Suite. Like there's the connected sheets. It's interesting you now have big query on the back end. Turn that basic interface into a full on global scale data warehouse. This is kind of the story here this week. Is to give more power to the edge whether it's retail or and not compromise any of the productivity suite. Is there? Absolutely. There's so much data in the retail organization today and with G Suite we're able to bring that access to that data and insights right down to every single worker within the organization whether they're in the headquarters or whether they're in the store. For example a store associate now has access to insights about the consumer that they can use to proactively service that consumer a lot better than they could have in the past. And that's where G Suite is starting to shine now for retailers. So retail obviously is an industry with a heavy disruption scenario. You mentioned some of the challenges for being data silos and you want to put data at the heart of your organization. So how are you competing in retail today specifically at Gantt and then how is Google sort of helping you transform and be the disruptor versus the disruptee? Well one of the things that works well for us is just the speed in which we can set up new markets because we use as much cloud tools as we do. So we can set up a new market in minimum time just by they only need internet access and that's it. So it gives us an edge in that sense. Tell us more about Gantt and then. So Gantt has quite an heritage. It's as an old company we was formed in 1949 on the American East Coast actually in New Haven, Connecticut. And we moved the business to Sweden, Stockholm where I'm from in the 80s. But we used to be one of the biggest shirt makers in the 50s and 60s and there's a lot of innovation in the Gantt shirts that like the locker loop. Do you know about that? Yeah, that's a Gantt concept. Oh, no kidding, I didn't know that. Oh, thank you. All right, I'm looking at some good stuff. So yeah, retail is an incredibly important industry for us in Google Cloud. And you touched on this, retail is going through so much transformation and disruption right now. And what we're seeing is retailers are really striving to transform the entire business across all parts of the retail value chain. And we believe that technology and cloud computing is a big part of that transformation journey, which is why we're very excited to launch in a Google Cloud for retail, which is a suite of solutions that addresses specific business challenges retailers face. And this is actually a collection of solutions that are both built by Google Cloud, like vision product search, recommendations AI, and also from our ecosystem of technology and SI partners, solutions like intelligent inventory, targeted digital marketing, or demand forecasting. So we're very excited to bring technology to our retail consumers and help them in their transformation journey. Well, it's great you got a customer here, Ricard. I will have to ask you kind of a work question. What do you do on a day-to-day basis? What is your job function? Because IT's certainly changing. The workforce is going digital. The innovation, certainly on your product side that you sell in clothing. But you got to run it all. What's your role? What do you do on a day-to-day basis? What I try to do is to optimize collaboration between us, between the main company and the subsidiary companies and all the out-to-the-retail and the stores to get people to move as fast as possible. Because that's, Gantz motto is never stop learning. And that's something that we try to live by from day to day. And that's a big part of it, this collaboration and speed. That's our main issues. What's the core problem that you're trying to solve? What's the challenge? What's the opportunity that you're going after? Just more human-to-human inventory? Is it just, I mean, what are some of the core challenges that you're trying to solve and turn them into opportunities? Well, the, let's see, it's just getting people on board to have a new way of thinking when it comes to technology and not be stuck in old ways. But we kind of try to foster ever-continuous change in the IT, from an IT perspective. So instead of doing big releases of new technology, we always try to just keep it flowing and doing changes all the time. And that's something that our users are very used to working in that way, which is, yeah. I mean, data is critical in this whole equation. And, you know, it's sort of alluding to earlier, a lot of successful companies these days, Google being one of them puts data at the core. In 1949, you weren't putting data in the core. It might have been a manufacturing plant or, right, so, punch cards. So, conceptually, we can see, okay, we can draw the picture of putting data at the core and putting people around it. But what does that mean from a practical standpoint? How are you using data at Gantt? And again, I'm interested in how Google is helping and if you can be specific in the context of G Suite, that would be helpful as well. Well, we are using data from the very beginning of the process, because our end product is a very analog product. It's a shirt. But the first step from the design department and all the data are surrounding sizes, colors and everything. So it is data from the beginning to sales figures in the end, definitely. And we try to, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. For being, talk about the challenges around cloud and the opportunities that, the challenges customers have in retail, as Dave mentioned, data is killer opportunity. But it's also could be a double edged story. It could actually cut you the other way. I mean, if you're not managing the data, because the user experience is number one. So you have to have access to data. You have discovery mechanisms in place to know when the right data to mix with the right data, knowing which profiles to look at, all kinds of things going on that's really data driven. What have you found in the industry to be a correct direction or best practice for retail? Because the difference between getting it right and wrong could be literally one data point. Absolutely. So share your thoughts. Yeah, data is hugely important. And I think capturing the right data in your ecosystem is the starting point. So we talk about machine learning and AI all the time, but really that starts with the foundation of strong data sets. So one of the things we work with retailers on every time we have relationships and partnerships is, let's identify the challenges you want to solve for and let's figure out what data you have in your ecosystem that we need to bring together to set the stage for solving that problem. So whether if it's things like demand forecasting, you need to start with capturing inventory information in real time first. So maybe your supply chain has some level of tracking of your inventory, but then let's look in store. How do we capture real time inventory flow within the store? Lots of new technologies to help you do that now. And we build that data set, the foundation with the retailer and then we take them to the next step of infusing machine learning and other capabilities. Machine learning is only as good as the data. Bad data in is bad machine learning, bad AI. So getting data right at the beginning versus going in and cleaning it later is a huge issue. Incredibly important. And it's something that retailers have to focus on and make a priority to capture the right data, the right clean data, as you said. So with a big theme this week that we've been talking about is old way, new way. And you're seeing all kinds of old techniques, whether it's perimeter based security or data warehouses, now moving to a whole new modern era and you guys are kind of leading the charge here. So if you guys could comment about what you think the biggest misconception is for people not understanding this new way, using data, using a lot of big scale applications in the cloud, having microservices and cloud native techniques. A whole new way of building apps, whole new way of workspace collaborations changing. What is the big misunderstanding that people on the old side of the world aren't getting that before they move over? What's the- Yeah, you know, one of the common misconceptions I see is that they believe it's all or nothing. You don't have to take everything at once. There's a journey that you can map for yourself based on where your organization is in the maturity curve and the understanding and capabilities that we have from a technology perspective. So what we work with our customers on is really identifying where are they at and what is important to them and how can we craft a journey that's specific to their business to take advantage of cloud and the technology that we have and the solutions that we have. And it may be different for everybody, but that's what we're here for, to work with them closely to do that. Rick, are there any comment on your end on misconceptions people might have that haven't moved yet over to the new way? Is it just- Well everyone has the legacy applications and legacy systems, but I think that now it's pretty obvious that everything should move into the cloud both for security reasons and just practical reasons. I think that's the way to go. Yeah. Ain't a picture for us.  It's a good metaphor. And we had Amy Locke on yesterday. We were talking kind of the future of work and I was sort of envisioned, okay, I want to be work faster, smarter. I want to be more collaborative. I want to be secure. That's kind of the frontline worker. What you were talking about Praveen is this whole backend data model as well, integrating that with the front end. So, and then maybe there's some specific things in retail, in specific use cases. So, I'm interested if you could paint a picture of sort of the vision of the digital workplace that you're building and that journey that you're on. What's that look like? Well, less local servers is one big thing and just flexibility in how you work and how you can access on any device. That's a very important thing for us. We should be able to work on the move and as I said, be able to set up a new market super quick. We can do online training via hangouts, for example. We can do meet people digitally instead of traveling. That's a big thing for us. We recently set up a new office in Hong Kong and I didn't even go to Hong Kong for that. We just made sure that they have a good internet connection and that's it and they are up and running. Anything you'd add to that Praveen? Absolutely. If you talk about G Suite adoption, some of the common use cases that Ricard talked about already about just enabling better communication and collaboration is one thing. But then think of the next step in the journey, right? If they're centralizing their data on Google Cloud, so data like inventory data, both from their supply chain but also from in-store captures. Now they can use that data and plug it into some sort of client telling application that's integrated with G Suite where the store associate has very quick understanding of what real-time inventory they have as the customer comes in and asks for something, they're able to very quickly respond to that customer without having to go back and check in the back of the store or on the shelf because that information is available to them right on their fingertips with a combination of G Suite but also the data that's flowing into G Suite. Ricard, as a customer of Google, what's your impression of Google next this year? What's your impression? I think it's amazing. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. This is still overwhelming to take in. It's really interesting. I've met a lot of interesting people and have a lot of good talks with people around here and a lot of good information from potential customers or partners to us. Contents on message with the enterprise, digital transformation, but real meaty deep dive sessions, experts around. Yeah, it's a lot of good stuff here. Praveen, your thoughts on the show? It's incredible. Every time I come to, this is my fourth Google Cloud Next and every time I come here it's just incredible to see the passion that we see from the attendees and it's growing so tremendously every single year and we can be more excited to have all these customers here sharing and learning from each other. In your opinion, what's the most important story that people should pay attention to coming out of Google Cloud Next? What's the high order bit? What's your opinion? I'll be biased. It's our focus on industries. Thomas talked about it quite a bit. We're very much focused on key industries and trying to solve challenges faced by our customers in those industries and we're bringing solutions to market that addresses the biggest focus they have for their business. Rickard, shopping's important these days even for men and women. What's some shopping tips that we can share? Insight information from the data. Even for men, that's beautiful. I love the shop for it. I'll never go wrong with a white shirt. I'll never wear a tie on stage. I told Dave. I got my big tie on today. What do you think? I'll never go wrong with a white button down Oxford shirt. That's my own. Okay. And some chinos maybe? Chinos are hot. We have a lot of those. All right. Rickard, thanks for coming on. Thanks for sharing your story. Thank you very much. For being, thanks for coming on. Thank you for having us. We're talking about clothing, the cube, data, all here in the cube. We're on the ground floor. I'm Javier DeValante. More cube coverage after this short break.


The Tiger financial news network Welcome to the 4 p.m. News update everyone so it seems like the industries Had a nice solar rally even either Nasdaq ended up pushing up over That point they're closing up in the green even if it modestly Gold sticking down around that 2.25 percent level least on the GDX The dollar stay in up above that 102 area. We'll see if it can hold Quite a move for the dollar up there Meta is down about 1.2 percent Tesla's up Apple is basically flat our Boy STLD up modestly at 1.5 percent. We have the yes mini up 0.34 percent again. Keep in mind everyone we have We have the earnings coming out Specifically look for Bank of America Lockheed Martin Netflix and Goldman Sachs Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what plugs in here a quick little news story. I wanted to share quickly Since we're on the gold topic This is an interesting one from Swiss owned companies Russian gold trades exposed gap in Western sanctions So the Swiss commodity traders Abu Dhabi subsidiary has been able to buy tens of millions of dollars of Russian gold this by the ban and So we're seeing this everywhere again. These sanctions are having a hard time working Also in Bangladesh, they're building a nuclear power plant and they were getting loans from Russia on it obviously Russia couldn't get those loans since they were blocked from Swift so China stepped in and Through sips is allowing them to trade in Yuan and Bangladesh and Russia are going to do so very strange strange times And one of the ones that really Think that's interesting to focus on is going to be ASML and IBM IBM is going to get a huge Well, maybe we'll get a huge bump From this chip investment if they can switch over to the EUV ASML is already at EUV top of the line You see a nice, you know pretty big jump down there on some high volume. So Like I said, keep posted ASML is a little bit Into the week There might be some issues with chip manufacturing Like I said, do your research on it keep an eye open for these guys and folks Thank you so much for joining me. As I said Tom will be back tomorrow Join us at 9 a.m. With Tommy for the morning market kickoff and have a great rest of your day and good luck trading


gents what's your thoughts at the moment it's a little bit lacklustre a little bit stop it would you agree we could be sharper as a group of players everything we do same as a passing drill sharper take care come on raise the tempo let's go a little bit better than what we do better than what we do good don't be loose good play good touch touch well played you


Back here in Brooklyn, halftime here at Barclay Center, the Liberty, leading the Dallas Marines, 51 to 47, the 51 points, one shy of the Liberty season high for a first half this season. Jonathan Cole, general manager for the Liberty since March of 2019, five years at the NBA and WNBA league office, law degree from Arizona State University and he is kind enough to join us here at halftime and Jonathan really appreciates your time. Just give me a thought this season, we're new headed in, general managers around the WNBA, really felt like this would be the most improved team this season. Just give me your thoughts on the overall play for the Liberty this year so far. Yeah, I think it's definitely been improved year over year. We're looking for consistency right now. I think a lot of the new additions from Sammy to Dee, Michaela, having sad back. I mean, those people that weren't around last year have really contributed largely to the success so far this season and I think also in the first half tonight. Nice. Can you talk a little bit about the all star and the non-Gillianian and what she's meant to the Liberty this season? Yeah, she's meant to everything. I mean, you know, I think talented players that get to that next level of being a really good player to a star player. The name of the game is consistency and she's brought it each and every night and she's just relentless. And I think that attitude and that demeanor and how poised she is, that just translates to the rest of the team, which is so relatively young. And so she's meant everything both on the floor, but off the floor, the leader as well. Now the wings entered this game with three of the top five picks in the 2021 WNBA draft, Jonathan. But it's the number six selection, Kayla Oñueyde, who has been super special this season, back to back, rookie of the month. What's impressed you most about Michaela's play? She's just not afraid of the moment. She always meets the moment. Sometimes we joke. We act like does she realize she's on this stage at this level? And she just shows out. I think to start the season, I think she had the first bucket for us to start the year from three. I think she did a couple of games in a row. I mean, she always meets the occasion. Relentless, tireless worker. And just a great human being, which is what we said we wanted to add through the draft. And I think she's really come through for us in a major way. I know it's vast difference from being in Berkeley versus being a Westchester. And I saw the pictures of the new locker room. Can you just tell us a little bit of what it's like, what it looks like, what it feels like? Because there's a lot of energy coming from pictures. Yeah. Yeah. First, we got to get you guys in there. That's for sure. You know, but it's spectacular. I mean, really, it's spectacular. Ownership stepped up in such a major way. We hope it sets the standard for player experience around the league. These players deserve it. Joe, Clara, Ollie, Weisberg, they stepped up. They said if the Nets have it, the Liberty have it. And they came through. We unveiled it a few weeks ago. Players are loving it. And like I said, we'll have to get you guys through for a tour sometime in the near future. It's amazing what a different year makes. You know, we were talking about the Wubble last year and how difficult that was and how taxing it was for the players for the tour. And then here we are tonight. I think John Oliver from HBO was hit towards how amazing is it to now again, call Barclay Center home and to see these great crowds. Yeah, that's the biggest thing. It's actually have a home here. And I think you see all these people coming out to support the players feel that they're really invested in the community. They can't wait to get out there, you know, and really contribute to it once the COVID restrictions are lifted on the league side of things. But man, what a great place to play basketball. And we're excited to be here for the long term.  So what would be your favorite WMA memory? My favorite WMA memory is Bridget Pettis, Michelle Tins led teams. I was in the stands for the first game ever. I remember Cheryl Miller would always conclude the post game or blew the game by hopping on the scores table, rallying the crowd. And there's just something really, really special about that initial squad that they put out there. Well, you're putting together a special squad here in Brooklyn as well. Jonathan Cole, general manager for the New York Liberty. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you guys. Appreciate it.
