I am going to talk about Appalem Artificial Doppler. So what is very unusual about Appalem Artificial Doppler is that first of all, symptomatic arterial disease is less common in the Appalem as compared to the O-Lem. One of the most common present in the feature of Appalem Ishimera is Redox Phenomena, that means the patient gets a p-source of discoloration in the fingertips, typically during cold season or sometimes even with an emotional trauma. With Appalem we need to think of systemic disorders, collagen disorders, we need to think of erotro arthritis, thoracic outlets, syndrome, subliminal steel, embolisms which are more common in the Appalem as compared to O-Lem. And then of course in the Appalem, very often patients has have very good colactals and therefore symptoms are very often less. Here for example, we have a patient who has got a complete occlusion of the subliminal artery but there is an excellent colactal coming from the internal memory artery and ultimately the symptoms were not too bad. Trauma is very common in the Appalem, vascular trauma, typically either industrial accidents or agricultural accidents, very often one of the most common indication for looking at Appalem arteries is of course evaluating arteries prior to an AV fistula or a graft for analysis. And then of course, we look at the palmarage patency for the TQ of the Ritulacine for C-MG surgery. You have to be very familiar with the anotomy just like any other examination. We always begin with the vertebral artery that means we ask the patient to lysofine extend the neck on a pillow and then evaluate the vertebral artery along its entire extent in grayscale on color and in palestopula. On color, make sure that the direction of flow in the carotid artery and the direction of flow in the vertebral artery are the same and this is very important to pick up subliminal steel. Then, keeping the position same, we look at the subliminal artery. Typically, we try and go as close to the original as possible and we tilt the beam towards the manoeuvring sternum in the proximal portion of the subliminal artery and of course, as we go distantly towards the axilla, then we like to tilt the probe on the opposite side. The subliminal artery typically is a very high resistance sort of artery with a reversal of diastolic flow and you might get a little forward flow a little later, but it is a very high resistance sort of a waveform. Now, one of the most important problems in subliminal artery is looking at origins of the subliminal artery, the origin of left subliminal artery and the origin of the requisite chronic trunk and this is because they are hidden by the bones. So, what we do typically is either you use a cardiac probe which has got a very small foot head or we use a pulse machine probe and try and look at origins. But this is important because very often stenosis is at the origin. The axilla artery of course, we evaluate by extending the arm and then it is easy to evaluate but we should not give too much of pressure otherwise very often the if you are also looking at a beam, the beam can get compressed. The brachial artery typically we go medially and trace it all around its extent right from the axilla to its bifurcation but it is very important to evaluate the brachial artery in a transverse plane also. This is because not only can we see the movement well but when you evaluate the brachial artery in a transverse plane, we can pick up any anomalies of the brachial artery. For example, very often we see a high bifurcation of brachial artery coming up in upper arm and this is a very important information which we need to give to surgeons before doing a fistula surgery. It is very important to look at the brachial artery bifurcation. So that is a brachial artery bifurcation with the brachial artery of course going superficially and the other artery going down. So then we trace the entire brachial artery right from its origin. It is easy to evaluate because it is superficial and as you go distally again we see a sort of a high resistance waveform. This patient is elderly and usually in elderly people have very high resistance waveform in the brachial artery. Then we look at the ulnar artery as we know that ulnar artery dips down at its solution and the mid portion of ulnar artery is very often difficult to see but once you come closer to the risk then the ulnar artery becomes superficial and again it becomes easy to evaluate. There are some tests which we need to do in the upper limb. One test is the island stress. This is done to look at a palmarage patency to find out the palmarage patency before we take the radial artery for bypass surgery. So what we do is look at the radial artery, compress the ulnar and look out for this increase in velocity. Then we look at the ulnar complex radial and again look out for increase in velocity. This increase in velocity typically should be at least 30 to 40 centimeters per second. So here we are doing the island stress we are looking at the radial artery compressing the ulnar artery and then we look out for this increase in velocity. Here we are looking at the ulnar artery compressing the ulnar artery and then again looking out for this increase in velocity. There is something known as a modified duplex island stress where we typically keep the probe a small foot head probe in the stock box and look at the radial artery here and then compress the proximal radial artery. So if the palmarage is patent then again we get reversal of flow coming from the ulnar artery and once you see a reversal like this that means again that the palmarage is patent. Then there is a test known as reactive hyperemia. This is done typically again before fistula. Typically what we are looking out for is an increment in the blood flow after a period of fistula. Now this test tells us whether the artery is able to dilate adequately after ischemia not only after ischemia but once there is a fistula done as we know then there is an increased demand in the blood and the artery should be able to cope up this increased demands and this test is good for that. So typically what we do is ask the patient to hold the fist tight and then evaluate the radial artery. Typically what we see is a very high resistance sort of a waveform. Then we ask the patient to release the fist and after releasing fist typically what we see is an increase in the diastolic flow that tells us that the artery is good for dialysis. This is what we are doing here patient we are looking at a radial artery the fist is very tight and we can see there is a high resistance. In fact there is a reversal of flow and after releasing the fist there is a reactive hyperemia and we can see that there is increase in the diastolic flow. This is a normal sort of response. We can also look at a palmarage and we can also look at the flow in the digital arteries. Now this typically we do when the patient is suspected to have a small artery disease that means for example if everything is fine up to the radial artery but the patient still has denotes that is the time you will start looking at small arteries in the palm or in the fingers. There are some other tests like for example we look for thoracic outlet compression there are three or four tests which you can do one is adjacent test in this what we do is ask the patient to stand drop down the epsilon hand which you are evaluating and ask the patient to tilt on the same side of where you are enacting and take a deep breath in. So typically if the patient has a thoracic outlet problem then we can see that the radial artery becomes deep and the clinically what we can also do is keep our ultrasound probe and look out for alteration in the waveform. There is a test known as neck teething test or a reverse accent typically what we do here is ask the patient to look on the opposite side of the examination and again if the patient does not have a thoracic outlet then there is no significant alteration in the waveform. There are other tests for example there is a constrict labicular compression test, there is writes which is an hyper abjection test, there is a loose test. This is what we commonly do in our practice. So what we do is ask the patient to raise the hands hyper extend, hyper abject and then move the fingers. You can look at the radial artery but this becomes very cumbersome. So commonly what we do is look at the sub-neural artery or the axillary artery and we will see a case a little as a subsequently. And then there is a test which is a cold stimulation test for radot syndrome. So again many are suspecting a systemic disorder like an SLE patient is symptomatic as clinically a radot syndrome. Then what we do is a cold stimulation test. So here what we do is ask the patient to hold some ice in the hand till the patient is able to hold it maybe 15 seconds or so and look at the waveform typically after holding the eyes. It's a very high resistance waveform and you can see a reversal of flow in the diastole. Then we ask the patient to release the eyes and typically in a normal patient after 1 minute, 2 minutes or at the most 3 minutes you can see that the waveforms can come back to normal. Very often you might get a higher diastole flow. This is a normal response to a cold stimulation test. So why do we look at the what we do first is to pick up sub-clement steel because once you have a sub-clement steel then the diagnosis is simple and the examination is over in the matter of 2 minutes. So here for example we have a patient who has got a complete steel on the left side where the multiple artery is blue and there is an operation of the sub-clement artery and on the right side there is a partial steel that is a typical funny bunny side and the patient has a stenosis at the original of the decrysopallic drug. We can have sub-clement artery occlusion. So typically when you have a thrombus prior to the occlusion you get this high resistance waveform. It is multiple waves typically happening in the diastole because the blood goes and fits against a dead wall and this really of course you get a napkin flow. That is the patient who had a thoracic outlet symptoms so we can see that the sub-clement artery at rest has a velocity of about 80. After the root stress we can see that the velocity is increasing to about 300 or 400 centimeters per second telling us that the artery is sort of narrowed down. If you look at a vein that is the normal sub-clement vein at rest and after the hyperindex and hyperextension maneuver there is the narrowing of the sub-clement vein with an increase in the velocity of the sub-clement vein. So that is typical of the thoracic outlet. In fact me and Dr. Raju Vada from Hinduja were the first to describe venous changes in the thoracic outlet syndrome many years back. Auto-artritis is very common in the upper limb. Typically sub-clement artery is very often affected and what you typically get is a long segment of narrowing of wall thickening in the sub-clement artery or the carotid artery. That is very classical of auto-artritis, very common in the upper limb. We can have axillary artistinosis and with aliasing and narrowing of flow channels and very high velocities. We can have brachylarty occlusion. Now look at this number of co-lattles, very often there are a lot of co-lattles which come up in the upper limb but this patient of course has a dampen flow as we went this way. This lady had severe discoloration of the hand you could look at the fingers and of course the cause was occlusion of the brachylarty both the ulnar and the adelarty is also occluded is a very bad case. In this era of Covid we are seeing upper limb arterial occlusion because of the disease we know that whenever there is a hyperparallel state then again of course there is thrombosis and the versure consists of abnormal vessel wall, abnormal flow and hyperparallel state and typically in Covid there are a lot of factors which contribute to these factors and ultimately can give rise to hyperparallel state and thrombosis. So we have seen patients presenting with upper limb ischemia who have subsequently turned out to be Covid positive. There is a young patient who came and did not have fever and only upper limb pain and there is an occlusion of the supply of the artery that is very radial and the ulnar arteries with severely dampen flow Another patient 45 years old who had pain in both the forearms again not very symptomatic had fever for one or two days and both the radial artery and the ulnar artery in both the forearms were occluded. And this is a patient again where ischemic changes in the hand and there was thrombosis of the right superficial power arch in the distal ulnar artery and subsequently he had to be operated. We can have changes in the fingers typically in the scandalous of a thrombosis but typically when we think of small artery disease we need to think of collagen disorders or systemic disorders like for example LSD. So what we need to differentiate in the upper limb is an obstructive disease from a viscous spastic disease and we need to separate out a small artery disease from major artery disease. So typically major artery diseases are up to the distal radial and ulnar and they present more commonly with either obstruction or stenosis. Whereas typically a small artery disease of the palm typically for example collagen disorders they present with typically as a viscous spasm or a viscous spastic disorder and a good test to look out for viscous spasm as we said is the core stimulation test. So what happens here is that after the patient we ask the patient to hold their eyes and release the eyes the waveforms do not come back to normal. We persistently see a high resistive waveform and the patient typically complain of a lot of pain. So here is a young lady we did and she had SLE and there is a persistent high resistive waveform and this lasted for almost 20-25 minutes and the patient said we have pain in the hand and almost repented having done this test because of the pain which she had. Abolism is very common in the upper limb as compared to lower limb. Here is a person who came with upper limb pain early in the morning in fact and what he saw was a complete occlusion of the axillary artery. So we just put the probe on the heart and saw a source of embolism on the mitral valve. He has a known case of mitral valve disease. This is a person who had an accident in the industry he was working on some machine and his hand sort of went partly in one of the part of the machine and he developed a complete tear of the biceps muscle with the brachyl artery occlusion. This is a gentleman who was travelling in the train, local train of Mumbai and then someone hit a stone from outside and he injured his brachyl artery and had a traumatic handle some of the brachyl artery. This is a gentleman working with the MSCB accidentally touched a live wire and then had an electric change area of the left hand and when he came to us the entire hand was discoloured and there was occlusion of the radial and the artery. So thank you so much for your attention for the evaluation is quite different from lower limb evaluation the diseases are getting quite different and most important remember that there are some special tests we need to do in the upper limb as compared to lower limb. Thank you so much.


Humaika isa kwaingapwadi kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kupilifita aktawa eda kneja wa akseliisa. Kwa kwa kilu nkunita kwa kwa kwa kunita kwa kapokistika dhiazme kwa katapakau. Inuwa turena, kwa kwa komtikata, kwa kwa kwa iksa. Kwehiai neprata kwa kwa kwa afaileza enuwa kwa di wa kwa akseliisa e makutisha. Every year we run any conference and this conference is basically to bring the intubators and accelerators and the ecosystem players to discuss, learn, share, challenge and at the same time go back to renovate. Again we realize that when we talk about intubation and acceleration there are a number of challenges particularly capacity, the continent does not have the capacity. So one of the roles that Ayn is playing is building the capacity in business intubation management and acceleration among the African actors and at the same time looking at the skill sets that are required to support the intubates that are coming out of the intubation acceleration ecosystem. The third component that is very important and critical is facilitating access to market for the production or for the products that are coming out of the intubation acceleration ecosystem. For you to create sustainable intubators it is important to facilitate market. So what we are doing is to create those linkages and I'm happy that in collaboration with African Union, FAO and other partners we are saying look how can the SMEs and startups that are emerging out of intubation acceleration be part for example of the Africa continental free trade area. Creating that capacity for them to become competitive, to be able to cross borders and negotiate big contracts among young people is very fundamental because it reinforces the sustainability of intubators.


Hi everyone, my name is Irene Mattis and I'm ambassador for ProBus Made Simple and today I'm really excited to share with you one of my favorite comfort foods, potato chowder soup featuring Ontario potatoes, carrots and onions. Start by preparing your vegetables. Finally dice the Ontario onion. Then mince the garlic. Chop the celery. You'll notice I include some celery leaves. I like to include the tops and soups because they add so much flavour. Cut the carrot into quarter inch rounds. I don't peel the carrots because so much of the nutrition is just under the skin. Simply give them a good scrub to make sure they are clean. When I think of chowder, I think of red skin potatoes. So keep the skin on. I love the colour and texture of the skin in a rustic soup. Just make sure they are washed and then cut them into quarter inch cubes. Red potatoes are a great choice because they also tend to keep their shape when cooked. In a large soup pot, heat oil over medium heat and add the onions, garlic, carrots and celery. Saute stirring occasionally until translucent and slightly golden, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until it is absorbed. Whisk in the wine and slowly whisk in the stock until the roux is incorporated. Keep stirring until the mixture comes to a boil. Add the potatoes and simmer for about 15 minutes or so until the potatoes and carrots are fourth tender. To finish, stir the cream into the chowder and bring back up to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Our potato chowder soup is now ready and it's perfect to enjoy on those cooler weather days. My family loves enjoying it as an appetizer, lunch or even a light dinner, topped with a fresh stale pesto and some crunchy croutons. Thank you for joining me in the kitchen today. Please like, comment and subscribe for more produce made simple. Bye!


Okay, so yeah, in a previous class, we covered on the different types of communication like verbal and non-verbal. So in today's session, we can talk about or we can look into listening skills or active listening. So even before we could start with our session, request one of you all to please start the class with a word of prayer. Yes, you can unmute and pray. Amen. Thank you, Asha, for praying. I'll just present a short presentation to the slide that we have. In today's class, we're going to talk about listening or active listening. So let's look into the details. So listening is important because good listening is probably the easiest way to connect with the other people and build relationships. So active listening is the opposite of passive listening. So what happens? We have probably experienced this in a lifetime. So the person you're talking to might technically be hearing some of what you're saying and they are tuned out and okay, and they're just not mentally engaged with what you're saying. And as the speaker, this can be very dissatisfying or very discouraging at times when people really are in big attention to us. Like why am I even talking in the first place? But an active listening looks, sounds and feels obvious. Active listening means listening completely. But before anybody does that well, there are two secrets or two prerequisites to active listening. What is it? Number one, you have to commit that you have to put aside whatever might be distracting you and make listening a real priority. So good listening is first and foremost a choice that you make every time somebody speak. So number two, it's probably a practice like any skill. You have to work at it. So the good news is that listening is not mysterious or complicated. So let's talk about four qualities of active listening. So what are they? So as we study, we can also learn to put them into our practice. So the first one is an active listening. It involves nonverbal communication and they are two sides to it. So on one hand, you're demonstrating that you're engaged and paying attention nonverbally. You put your device completely away. You make eye contact. Your body posture is open and oriented toward the other person. Now on the other side, you're also noticing the speaker's nonverbal cues.  And part of that means that you're noticing what's happening with the person visually on the mood, on the emotions, and then they are showing or do they look nervous or frustrated or annoyed? By that, you know, we can pick on that the active observation on the nonverbal communication. So secondly, we look into the active listening that involves on the verbal communication. Again, there are two sides to it. So the most obvious part is asking good questions, probably the most, you know, in the common pattern that the good listener could demonstrate is that they ask a good question and then they let the speaker fully answer it like a good mental health therapist who will ask thoughtful questions and then they stop talking for a while and then the client speaks. Honestly, what we are paying for in many cases is just somebody to listen to us carefully so that a good question is a huge part of listening by. And the other part of verbal communication is those small utterances that show the other person that we are actually following them or we are actually listening to them or like I hear you, that makes sense. Sometimes it's not even full words. We just might, you know, just utter some sounds like maybe okay, you know, these are the short small utterances that we can affirm the other person that we are listening. So these little utterances keeps us engaged and affirm the other person that we are actively following them or we are actively listening to them. And the third act of listening involves in responding to what somebody said. The pattern goes like this, like you ask a question and they respond. For however long that takes and at the end of that talking term, to give an informed response to them. So let's say you just asked a person what they have been up to lately. That's your question. And in they talking, turn they tell you that they have been doing diving lately. So you actively listen for a while. They are talking and at the end of their conversation. Now it's your turn. And this is where you show that you have actively listened to that person. And now you also showed by your body language that you were interested in, you know, by paying attention to them. Now that now you can respond to them by saying this sounds very exciting sport or that's really cool that you're doing that. Or you could ask another follow up question like I had no idea that you were into diving or how did you first get into that? Or of course you could do a little bit of both just like I just did both. So you could make an informed or reflective statements and then ask a follow up question. So the key here is for us to respond what they just been saying. So what we don't want to do is like look at them blankly and not react to what they're doing or what they're talking or what they're communicating.  Like you tell them about the part of your day or something about your life and then don't react. They just have this, you know, a kind of a stone face that's not that's actually not an active listening. So you want a, you know, you want a credit reward for your active listening, then you have to respond to what they just said. So the fourth one here is keep the focus on them and let them talk. Now this one might seem obvious because we are listening but when we decide to go into that listening mode, just make a decision that this is going to be all about the other person talking and not about us. Resist the temptation to jump in without your own story or to change the subject to your favorite topic. Keep the talking turn or let's keep our talking turn and question aside and then stick to whatever topic the other person is interested to share. Now, eventually once they are done, plenty of talking, they will usually be an opportunity later in the conversation for us to share our experience or thoughts on what they have shared. So the thumb rule is to decide at least the first half of the conversation to purely be active in listening. So I hope this four tips help us, you know, help us to listen completely to the other person and by not interrupting them in their conversation. So I'm just asking the class, so which one of these tips you think that is needed for us at our work, at our business, at our ministry, you can share it, you can just unmute and share your views. What do you think is very important and active listening and how we can actually put it in practice. So some of you all can share your thoughts even before we could move. Can I? Yes please. By listening and not interrupting. By listening and not interrupting, okay, the other person. Anyone else can unmute and share? I contact. Yes, I contact body language. Yes, thank you. Anyone else by asking questions? Thanks, Asha. Anyone in the class? Okay. So we understand that listening is so important because it is important. We see that many top employers provide listening skill training to their employees. So good listening skill can lead to better customer satisfaction or great productivity with fewer mistakes and it also increases the sharing of the information that it can turn to lead to more creativity or innovative in their work. And we also see that many successful leaders and entrepreneurs credit their success to effective listening. We have one such leader, Richard Branson frequently e-codes listening as one of the main factors behind the success of Virgin. So what is that? The point here is effective listening is a skill that underpins all the positive human relationships and it spends some time thinking about and how to develop this listening skill into us because they are the building blocks of success. So we see the good listening skill also has its benefits in our personal life. So what are the benefits? Did I put it here? Just give me a minute. Okay, this is for the next. We see listening is not as same as hearing. Some of the benefits we are talking about some of the benefits and we see that the first point here is listening is not the same as hearing. So what is it? Yes, hearing refers to the sound that enters are here in a physical process that is given to us where we can hear. Understand until there's a problem with our hearing. But listening requires more than that. It requires focus, concentrated effort, both mental and something physical as well. So listening means paying attention not only to the story but how it's been told in the usage of the language and the tone, the voice that a person uses and about the body posture. So in other words, it's been aware of both verbal and non-verbal messages. So our ability to listen effectively depends on the level to which we perceive and understand the message. So listening is not a passive process. In fact, listening can and should at least be engaged in the process as a speaker. When we say the phrase active listening, it's used to describe this process of being fully involved. So that's what we see. I'm just changing the slide. Okay, we see Dr. Rachel Naomi Rehman says, she says the most basic and the powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. She says perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. The second point we discuss in the benefits of active listening is we spend a lot of time listening. We spend a lot of time listening. So here we have, just give me a minute, let me change the slide. Yeah. Time spent on communication by Adler Rosenfeld. Okay, so his point of, he did a lot of researches and according to his research, here's what he says. He says, adults spent an average of 70% of their time engaged in some sort of communication. So on an average, 45% is spent on listening when compared to 30% of speaking, 16% reading, and 9% writing. So a standard, a lot of time, according to this graph or according to his research, we see that a lot of time is spent on listening. So it is actually worth that we take that extra time to ensure that we are listening effectively. So the third point here and the active, the benefits of active listening is the purpose of listening. So the very purpose of listening is the effective listening is a very important skill that one needs to develop in their lifetime. So why do you think listening is important? My arm was up sometime back. Sorry, I didn't notice Charles. Please go ahead. I'm sorry. Yeah. In the other points, when you are talking about paying attention to the sound and the body language, I find it very, very practical. When you are listening to someone and you are actively listening, you are with them at every point they are talking, you are with them and you are already putting what they call pictures.   So when you are actively listening, it's like you are with them.  That is when you are actively listening to someone who is talking to you. And to the question that you have asked, why is it important? It is, you know, when you are talking, you are talking what you know. When you are listening, then you are getting what you did not know. So it is important for us to listen so that we can get what we did not know. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Charles. You made the whole subject very easy. Thank you for explaining it and, you know, about the actual listening. Just what Charles has said. I think also listening saves a lot of time, active listening saves a lot of time in an engagement. Yes, you are right. It saves a lot of time. Anyone else who would like to share? Okay. We'll get back to our class. The purpose of listening. Now we were discussing on why is listening so important. One said it saves a lot of time. It, okay, it helps us to understand each other, growing years people used to say one second, let me open the chat message. Okay, for some reason it's taking time to open. Okay. So I see Asharani has posted a message. Okay. It helps us to understand each other, growing up years people used to say, listen twice as much as you speak through. So listening is very important. Yeah. Yes. There's, there's a purpose, you know, because it serves a number of possible purpose in listening. So we have listed a few purpose here and active listening. Let me see if I have that on the slide. Yeah. Yeah. So the purpose of listening, the first point here we see to specifically focus on the message being communicated, avoiding distraction and pre-consumption. So it helps us, you know, to focus on the message that has been conveyed to us where we can avoid the distractions that is coming up. The second we see to gain a full and accurate understanding into the speaker's point of view and ideas. So the very purpose here is where we can understand the speaker correctly and we can understand from what point of view or that he is trying to convey or the idea, the vision that he is trying to convey or trying to deliver it to us. The third point we see is to critically access what has been said, to critically access what has been said. So we will see that more in the critical thinking when we cover on critical thinking. And the fourth point we see is to observe the non-verbal signals accompanying what has been said to enhance understanding to observe the non-verbal signals. So when we look at a person, we just don't only pay attention to the words that he's saying but overall we look at the person, we look at his body language, the tone and what he's speaking for us to understand the non-verbal signals that the person is trying to convey. And it enhances our understanding. And the fifth point we see is to show interest, concern and concentration. So we also convey the person, hey, what you're saying or what you're sharing is actually helping me to understand or this is something that I am interested in or this is something that I'm concerned about. Let me concentrate and learn from it. Now the sixth point is to encourage the speaker to communicate fully, openly and honestly. So the very purpose of our listening is, yes, when we pay attention, it also encourages the speaker in communication, where he can speak honestly, where he can share his heart openly to each of us. And the seventh point here listed, we see that to develop a selflessness approach putting the speaker first, it shows that like, you know, we respect you, we honor you, please go ahead and share what you have prepared for. Now the eighth point here we see is to arrive at a shared and agreed understanding and acceptance of both sides view. So we come at a conclusion like we agree, we understand and we accept of both sides view. So all this is conveyed by a reformation of words, by simple actions or sounds that we utter and by our body language as well. So often our main concern and listening is to it shows in the way we respond. So we can only respond when we have actively heard through what this person had to say so that we can give a correct response to what the person shared. So effective listening requires concentration and the use of the other senses. It may not be just our hearing or the spoken words, but listening is not at the same time as hearing. In order to listen effectively, we need to use more than just high ears, our body language, the way we can read the words, the actions, the affirmation, the smile, everything counts, eye to eye contact, many things. So with that we will go get into the principle of listening. So we see that a good listener will not only listen what has been said, but he also understands what has been not said through the nonverbal language, through the body language and other things. So he is open and he is watching his focus and overall understanding is trying to get. So effective listening is therefore involves our observation of our body language and noticing the inconsistencies between the verbal and the nonverbal messages and as well as just what has been said at a given moment. For example, if someone tells you that they are happy with their life, but through with tears in their eyes or credit deed, so we should consider that the verbal and the nonverbal message are not matching and not going along. And that's when we need to know that there's something wrong with this person that you need to check with or talk to and find if they need any help. So listening is therefore not just a matter of using your ears to the words that's been conveyed, but it also involves your eyes and the other senses to understand the person from the tone that he conveyed, the body language, you know, there are other things that involves for us to understand that person, what exactly he's trying to say. So here we see the 10 principles of effective listening. Let me put up the slide. Here we go. So when we talk about the 10 principles for effective listening, the first one in the list is stop talking. Don't talk, just listen. Why do you think we should not talk? Anyone in the class? I think it causes destruction and somebody might end up losing focus. Yes. Anyone else? So that we are able to understand completely what that person wants to say.  Yes, you're right. Thank you Abneen. Yeah, it's very important to listen so that we understand the person from what point is he trying to talk or what is he trying to convey or how can we be of help to that person. So Mark Dwayne says this way, if we were supposed to talk more than we listen, we would have two tongues and one here. Isn't it? That's something nice. Makes us to ponder and think. With that, we will move on to the second point. Prepare yourself to listen. Prepare yourself to listen. So we need to relax. Now, why, how can this point be useful to us? Can anyone in the class unmute and share? Can I say something, Pastor? Yes, please. Preparation or preparing yourself to listen now brings you to a level of concentration, to a level that you, even the the person that you are listening to is going to know that you have given them their time because you will emotionally lay down all other things that are going, were disturbing you. Maybe you had something in the brain that was, you were thinking, maybe there are some things that were absorbing your thoughts. You, when you prepare to listen, that means also those ones are laid off and you are focusing on the person you're going to listen to. Thank you. Thank you, Charles, for sharing that. Yes. Prepare yourself to listen is just giving that, we are prepared to give that time to that person and listen to what that person shares. And we're not going to allow any kind of distraction to disturb us or we're not going to interrupt the other person unless and until it is needed to clarify something for a better understanding. Okay, but otherwise we're going to listen. So to listen, we need to prepare our mind. We need to get our mind trained to listen to the other person and try to avoid any kind of thoughts that could interrupt our focus on listening or to concentrate what the person is trying to say so that we can understand that person better and we can try to give, share our inputs or just be there to help and assist that person. Okay, so with that, we'll move on to the third point we talked about, put the speaker. Something on that preparation. Sorry. Yes, please go ahead. Yes, please go ahead. I think proper preparation also instills confidence and encouragement on both parties when they are talking or engaging. Yes. Thanks, Kennedy. Yes. Okay. But that we'll move on to the third point. Put the speaker at ease. Help the speaker to feel free to speak. Now how do we do that? Anyone in the class can unmute an answer? I think this still goes back to the second point too. Because you have to clear an environment that has ambience, where you can easily talk without minimum destruction, where you can sit properly and have the right attention, even develop good eye contact. Yes. Yes. Thanks, Kennedy for sharing. Yes. Even the atmosphere matters. If in case we set a atmosphere which is very noisy, then the person who wants to share the art out may have to face a lot of disturbance or distractions. Yes. We need to see to it that even the atmosphere is set right for the person to speak, not by rushing words, by giving attention. I'm just opening the chat. Just give me a minute. We have some things here by concentrating. Okay, Kunglu shares preparing to listen shows that we are open to other people's idea, that is on the second point. Okay. And Aasha says not by rushing the speaker. Okay. And Siddhan shares that by giving attention. Yes. Can I say something about putting someone at ease? Yes, please. Yes, go ahead.  You are with them and that they are not on judgment, especially if it is something like a counseling session and you are going to listen to them. They are not in court. They are not going to be following rules like they are supposed to speak according to this rule and this rule. So when someone is put at ease, then he is going to throw. Putting someone at ease makes the person who is speaking to throw well, not really being intimidated. Not feeling intimidated. Thank you. Right. That's exactly his need. Thanks Charles for sharing that. The third point by putting the speaker at ease. So with that, we will move on to the fourth point, which says remove distraction, remove distractions where focus on what has been said. So it is very important how to remove the distraction, how can we be focused and what has been said. Anyone in the class would like to unmute and share on this point, share your views on the fourth point. Just that we stop doing whatever we are doing and maintain that posture and eye contact and everything what we are learning, put into practice, write that time so that the other person feels free to talk and we show that concern and show that we want to listen, feel that, make that person feel that we really want to listen to what you want to say. Yes. Thank you. Thank you Avni for sharing that view. Okay, Arisen, yes, you can go ahead please. Okay. One other aspect that I'm looking at right now is that it is possible for us to look at a physical aspect of removing a distraction. But one other aspect I'm looking at is removing distraction emotionally. You know, there's a tendency for us to be communicating with someone and our minds are not there. So anything that is going to make you think outside the communication you're having with that person, then you may just want to take it off and have a total concentration on what the person is telling you or what the person is trying to communicate with you so that you have invalid information to give back when it is your time to share. Thank you. Thank you, Arisen. That was a valid point that we can look into it. I also see Christopher's hand has been raised. Yes, so I think this, I think it's being mentioned about going to a quiet place and so that would be one of the ways of removing distractions. But the other thing also is in the current and the present time, I think the mobile phone is sometimes a big distraction. So if it's an important meeting, then we actually indicate to the person who's speaking to us that we're going to put the phone on silent mode and give undivided attention to that person instead of getting constant beeps and getting calls coming to the mobile phone. Yes. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Christopher, for sharing that valid point. I think that's the major distraction that we need to avoid in this era. Thank you. Yes, please. Even in the sitting posture, for instance, if you are a man and you are going to to listen to a woman and they're wearing maybe a skirt that is above the knee and you are going to distract you, you can see in a way that you are going not to see the knees and the thighs to make sure that you are not going, you yourself, to be distracted. And if you are to sit outside and you are and there are cars moving about, you make sure that they are not going to become a distraction. You can try a place where you will not be seeing the rectory onto the moving vehicles. If it is in a school, then you might need a place where the people are not going to be entering in. They are not going to be knocking, knocking so that the distractions are removed. But also, in addition to Christopher's point of telephone, there is also television. Maybe you are in a room and then there is television. Then it is, I think to me, to be advisable even to remove the television so that you are able to listen attentively. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Charles, for sharing different distractions, how we can avoid in a setting. It all depends on the setting, the atmosphere, where exactly are we sitting for a conversation or for a conference, for a meeting. Yes. When we want to focus or being focused on what the other person says is like, you know, we can avoid all these unnecessary distractions that could come our way, but that we will move on to the fifth point where we can empathize. We can try to understand the other person's point of view. So how do we empathize? How do we understand the other person's point of view? If there are any two from the class can unmute and share your point of view on how to empathize so that we can understand the other person from the point that they are trying to share or the point that they are trying to speak.  Now, if maybe you want to empathize something, maybe you would ask a question like, did I hear you correctly? Were you saying like this? Maybe you get part of the sentence that they spoke and then you ask a question. Did I hear you this? Can you repeat for me this? That's what I think would Kaleb emphasize a question, rather the conversation so that the point is really emphasized. Thank you. Thank you, Charles. Anyone? Yes. I think by inviting them courierly and making them feel accepted. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Is there anyone? Yeah, I think the other thing is also the non-verbal body language. In some cases, when we are listening and we are not concentrating, we may be not really showing empathy. I read some certain times when I talked about serious things to someone and the person has switched off and maybe before we talk about the serious things, there is a time where there may be something humorous happening. There is a smile and then when we talk about the serious thing, again, the smile is there. It shows that the person is distracted and it's not even being a part of the conversation. To really show empathy, we need to be able to also demonstrate the correct and non-verbal communication. Yes. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Christopher for sharing on that point. Well, with that, I think we can stop with this. The next five points we can share and discuss it out in the next class. We can end this session with a word of prayer. I'll pray. Dear God, we thank you. Thank you for this hour that you give us week after week where we can develop the skills that is needed for each of us Lord with a better understanding where each one can be equipped so that we can be excellent in our work, in our ministry, in the area that you have called each one of us Lord. Thank you Father. Thank you Lord that you are doing a great work in us. The God who called each one of us is faithful enough to lead us, guide us and strengthen us. Father, we surrender and commit each of us into your hands Lord. Thank you Lord. In Jesus' name we pray amen. God bless and thank you so much for joining in today's session. Have a great day and a weekend. God bless. Bye. Thank you. Thank you. God bless. Thank you.


From Orlando, Florida, it's theCUBE. Covering Cisco Live 2018. Brought to you by Cisco, NetApp, and theCUBE's ecosystem partners. Hello everyone, welcome back. It's theCUBE's exclusive coverage here in Orlando, Florida for Cisco Live 2018. It's day three of three days of live coverage. Go to thecube.net, look at angle.com to get all the stories. And of course, I'm here with Stu Miniman, analyst at Wikibon, my co-host for the week. Our next guest is Gary Harrison, head of technology services, Metzzi Technologies. Welcome to theCUBE. Thanks for joining us. Thanks you guys. It's good to be here. So, you're in the Cisco ecosystem, so Stu and I have been talking about this all week. Couple of big trends. Open, Cisco's opening up, you got DevNet success with developers. Cloud is a new architecture. Okay, intent-driven architectures are huge. Sounds like outcomes to me. So I hear a lot of these conversations about what's the outcome and then building a technology. So I want to get your thoughts on that. From your perspective, what does that mean to you? When you hear that intent networking, developer community, sounds a lot like a different Cisco. It's a different model. It's changing I think the way business processes are today and getting organizations to understand that process of capturing what they want the infrastructure intent and their application intent look like and then understanding how that drives different models for deploying services as well as the operations behind it. You guys do a lot of stuff with customers. I want you to take a minute to explain what you guys do, your company. What are some of the things that you guys get involved in? Where are you in the ecosystem? What kinds of projects are you engaging on? Okay, we're a professional services partner. We're a service-only integration partner with Cisco. So it's just through, we don't resell, we get to focus on purely customer success and we help enable the channel and the partners directly. And the focus is the enterprise cloud suite. So it's really around helping customers understand how to get the most out of those technologies, how to choose the right element of the cloud suite for the job. Gary, Gary, so you're at an interesting position to watch some of the transformations going on Cisco. We said the old way measuring Cisco was boxes and ports. The new way is software, it's open, it's those things. Since you're not one of the, you know, not in a derogatory, we're boxellers. You know, give us your viewpoint as to how Cisco's going through their transformation and how your customers are reacting to that. Yeah, so it's definitely a good shift towards the software elements of it. And we're seeing the strength of the software and the products that come out and the capabilities is rapidly changing. And you've seen the increase in the product suite recently, the number of the move towards analytics and other software to support operational life cycles as well as just the provisioning cycles. I think a challenge for the customers is a lot of complexity introduced, a lot of new tools out of the box out there. And the difficult question is always know how to best use each particular tool to get value for the business. Yeah, it's one of the big questions is it used to be, I really understood my network because I built it. I racked it, stacked it, wired it, configured it in the CLI. Today, a lot of the pieces of the network you're managing, you don't own. They're in the cloud, they're extending beyond, how do your services and solutions help customers get their arms around this kind of multi-cloud world? As far as the focus, I guess, is reducing that complexity. There's a lot you can do with the different software that's out there and really to try and step back from just the siloed tools and looking at the cloud stack as a whole. And starting small, starting simple, identifying those early use cases that will help drive cloud adoption in an organization and understanding how the software and the tools benefit them to do that. As you can just say, you can't see inside the software easily. If you're going to embed infrastructure as code, you need a way to make sure that as you build that code and those processes, you keep that visibility into what that software is meant to be doing for you. Gary, on that point, I want to just double down on that concept holistically. We hear that all week. We've heard from some Cisco executives as customers that it's a systems view almost. It's not the box view. What does that mean to the customer today and how far along are your customers in that mindset? Are they there? Are they kicking the tires? Because you've got to engage on real front line projects where there's outcomes involved and the plumbing's in place. So how do you get there without disrupting? That's the question we hear. But how do I get the holistic view without disrupting the business? What's your thoughts on customer's position on that? I think to get the holistic view, it's about the business needs, I think, embrace that and understanding it's about delivering applications and services now and the infrastructure is there to support that and not focus on these infrastructure centric models. And so that's the first journey is understanding what are the services that are important to the business and how those services are involved. And then I think the challenge we see from the customers is actually the attendee organizational and process challenges. The technology itself is not necessarily the all the complexity. It's how that aligns the organization. And so I think those early wins and those early outcomes are a organization that's aware of those challenges. I think I'm almost getting a little stepping stone. Get a little success. Don't take a big project. What's your take on road mapping in that? Because that's challenging. What are you seeing for success use cases that customers can take right out of the gate to get this intent thing going? What are some of the low hanging fruit opportunities? So one thing we focus on, I guess, is changing our engagement model with the customers and something we sort of, I guess, our pride ourselves on is where a lot more flexible and agile ourselves as a, in terms of delivering infrastructure services. So again, we try to communicate to customers, find use cases that deliver value and return on investment early and focus on delivering that sort of one use case. It doesn't matter what it is in the cloud stack, whether it's through automation of network infrastructure, orchestration of services on top of there, but pick a very clear use case and develop that first. And then once you understand how the technology stitched together end to end, you can then start to grow that inside the organization. Is there any use cases that pop out that you can just point to anecdotally that seem to be popular? There's a couple of different extremes. So ACI is a massive enabler at the moment. It's really, since SDN has come along, it's a catalyst to drive the rest of the cloud changed infrastructure. So there's some very specific use cases around automating that infrastructure. Not just what ACI does itself, but to create that automation layer on top of that. So people are deploying lots of infrastructure, so that's one of the specific use cases we see. Gary, I really like what you said about it. It's changing the engagement model because it used to be, I'm going to roll out a new application, okay, I need to figure out the plumbing. Now when I look at intent-based offerings there, it's really more about I'm building new applications and the network is a critical piece of it. It's actually helped me drive some of these new modern micro-architecture architectures there. You've got to, I'm sure, be talking to a little bit of a broader jobs inside the customer. How does that change your engagement? Who are the roles that you're talking to today? Well actually what's very fine is tools like CloudCenter. And for me, one of its strengths is it's finally an ability to tangibly capture intent in an application blueprint. And I find that's a good way to bring organizations together because now you have a focal point for your network and infrastructure or platforms teams and your application teams to come together. That provides a common language to talk about it. And that's one of the real strength we find to start having those conversations with those different teams within organizations. Gary, talk about the old way and new way. We always like to kind of break things down in a very simplistic way. And Chuck Robbins, the CEO on stage said, that's the old way, it looks like an architecture. Hey, firewall, I get that. And he's like, some people actually have this today. And he's kind of looking at the modern cloud, obviously the circle with all their different services. So kind of a Cisco plug. But from your standpoint, when you talk to customers, what was the older conversations that you can point to saying, we used to do it this way. This is what we would talk about. These are the meetings we would have. Now the shift is towards this. What's that, what's the old way? And what's it transforming into when you actually have those conversations? What is it like? So the big difference for me, infrastructure projects, they're very traditional, waterfall model, they work out what you want to buy, where you want to be, you put a project plan around that and deliver that. But in engagement we have today to say to people, all the importance is in the software. It's the services you're delivering on the software and the capability to develop in the software. And that's not something out of the box. It's very difficult to say where we don't want to be in six months or where we don't want to be in year. So again, the way we encourage and we engage with our customers is to put a roadmap together but to identify something in a much shorter term that you can deliver, start delivering something and then take a more agile approach around it to come back, review and re-plan again and look at what your priorities are. What's the role of the solution architect on this? Because a lot of things we're seeing and we're trying to kind of connect the dots here. Holistic roadmaps are interesting because you got to have a foundational architecture. What is the preferred kind of consistent theme that you're seeing around architectural decisions? Are there table stakes, are there certain things that are always going to be in flux? How do you view the big picture on the solution architect piece of it? Is there certain things that are must-haves, weight on this, what's your reaction to that? I think a solution, I think it's a challenging piece. I think it's probably where you see organizations are probably weaker as having a cloud solution architecture function. We still see infrastructure architecture, enterprise architecture, but that's solution architecture for the cloud model. I think that's actually more a challenging piece. I don't need any obvious answer on what for the customers we see, there's no common answers. That's a really hot area right now. Gary, one of the biggest challenges we see in multi-cloud is no two customers are alike, but through the customers that you're talking to, what are some of the common stumbling blocks or hurdles for really getting full value out of their solutions that you see from customers today? I think it's understanding the end-to-end lifecycle of a service. So we can do a lot with the multi-cloud capabilities in deploying internal infrastructure to external, but the processes have to be the same, security, compliance, these are the aspects that come in to add a lot of complexity. And also it's not just the way the applications, the infrastructure are built, patching life cycles, no post-deployment of virtual images, the way people then update and maintain them and that lifecycle around it. I think it's different in a virtualized world. In a containerized world, we see a lot more advancements around it and multi-cloud is easier. I think it's for people to take their legacy applications and try and move them into a cloud native scenario, which is a real challenge. Gary, pretend I'm a friend of yours and I come to you and say, hey Gary, I'm new to this whole intent-based networking thing. What is it? How would you describe it? What's your definition of, what is intent-based networking really mean? Well, there's two parts. One is to identify somewhere to capture what the definition of your applications and services are and what that means, and the infrastructure that lies underneath. I'm going to say a cloud center is one part of it. Other organizations may have other models, but it's rather than working to traditional high-level design, low-level design, we see all requirements analysis. Now capturing that intent is somewhere that's both software-consumable and can be software-defined. So you can use software to push the intent in there and you can consume it through software. And the next major bit of the puzzle is to provide that freedom to the infrastructure layers underneath so they get to decide how they implement that intent. And that's what gives you this multi-cloud freedom. How we're implemented in a public cloud can be different to how we're implemented in the private cloud. The tools, the processes, the infrastructure, the software I sit on can be different, but the outcome that's delivered is the same. Yeah, it's an interesting show. You mentioned SDN earlier. We see a lot of activity on software-defined data center, architectural things. And again, it's challenging. Not everything looks the same, but it's super important. Then we hear things like Google Cloud on stage and we hear Kubernetes, we hear Istio, which is a service mesh. So you start to see up at the stack the applications taking kind of almost a network services like mindset. I mean, microservices are basically have the same feel as networking, but it's more up higher in the stack. So you got some really interesting dynamics. You got the SDN thing going on and then you got in the middle of the stack and towards the application these cool microservices with Cloud Native. This is an opportunity for network engineers. I mean, how would you describe to the audience the opportunity for a network engineer or someone who's in the network game to take advantage of that, this new trend that's coming very fast? I was there, it's a different model of networking. And again, the good thing about containers is they do provide this very application-centric focus. Networking is now about providing a service for the application sits on there and container frameworks make that very obvious. So I'd say network engineers, it's a good place to understand that model and that ecosystem and then see how that can be applied to what we've done in virtualization. And as SDN comes along in a more traditional private cloud infrastructure on top of the data center infrastructure we have today, they take some of those models that we learn from things like container frameworks and how do we apply them to virtualization? That's a great point about the virtualization. It's almost a roadmap to how to understand the impact and interplay between the networks really is. Okay, final question for you is, you know, Cisco Live this just seems to be different. What's the vibe of the show? What's your, if you had someone who didn't come here that's watching say, hey, I missed it this year, I heard there's a lot of action. DevNet's got 500,000 developers. What's different about this year's Cisco Live? What's the most important story? Can you share your opinion on what's happening? I guess for us being in the DevNet Village, it is about the DevNet zone, the buzz we're seeing, the people, the types of questions we get asked to understand now that there's definitely a lot more interest in this development side of it. What's some of the questions you're getting? What are the hot topics if you stack ranked them? People just want to understand new trends in software, coding, how can I apply my coding skills to coding the network or where do I learn about that? And we get lots of questions as people pass the stands. Gary, thanks so much for coming on theCUBE. Great to see you. Thanks for coming on and sharing your commentary here. Appreciate it. Thank you very much. All right, this live CUBE coverage, day three here at Cisco Live. I'm John Furrier, Stu Miniman. We're here breaking all the action down. We'll be back with more. Stay with us for day three coverage. We'll be right back after this short break.


Yo, what's going on leaf nation asleep her back again, and welcome back to the channel today. We're here with a different type of video I know you guys are usually used to Hockey ultimate team content on the channel, but today we are doing a franchise mode now if you guys are You know living under a rock you guys don't know this but roster sharing was just shared It was just updated into the game not too long ago and today I found a pretty cool build made by my boy sniping score So as you can see here, we downloaded the throwback 07 0607 Snipe the score YT. I'm gonna leave a link to his Twitter down below him to e-tactics They've been grinding out some customer roster. So today what we'll be doing is we will be going into franchise mode It's gonna be a copper bus with the 0607 Toronto Maple Leafs Now the beautiful thing about this is I want to make this a series So after this episode, I need you guys to comment in the comment section below What team you want to see next from the 0607 build so today's gonna be the Leafs if you want to see the Canadians You want to see the senators in the next episode any other NHL team? Let me know in the comment section below. So here we go enter GM name. We are GM a leaf or Hopefully that's okay. It is so continue and as you can see here our top players Math and Dean Thomas Very cool to see I'm interested to see like oh, okay, you could take out teams. Okay, cool. All right, so Here we are. We are gonna be the Toronto Maple Leafs So the Vegas Golden Knights are in here. I don't know how that works But interesting But yeah, okay, any anyway continue career so owner mode on Fantasy draft off salary cap on GM firing. I mean, we're gonna turn that off headline head coach at its lines Okay, Foggle war player morale. I want that off CPU trades shirt on our own remote. Okay, cool So let's continue here. It's gonna be a one-year sim Make sure everything here is good. We're gonna turn injuries off for the Regular season but once playoffs come if we do make playoffs injuries will be turned on Let's start up this career keep salary cap on obviously and here we go. Alright, so here we go So looking at our team. We got to do this stuff. I've got to turn it off So that is what it is. We don't have to worry about that for the one year But I do want to see what the lines are looking like here We're gonna get some nostalgia here looking at these lines and looking here Head coach can help. We'll turn that off. We got Alexander steen Masson Dean and Jeff O'Neill Darcy Tucker Kyle Wellwood Lexi Ponakarovsky Bates Pataglia Nick Andropov Michael Pekka John Paul Matt Stasian and Chad Kilger. Oh my goodness gracious This this is just a huge throwback. Look at our defense here. We got Thomas Cabriolet playing with Pa Val Cubina Ian White with Brian McCabe howl gale with Wade Belak and then in net we got Andrew Ray Croft and John Sebastian Aubin. Oh my goodness boys. I love this. This is amazing. This is actually so great Who do we have scratched here? No one okay, so This is what the team is looking like. We're gonna try to get these lines to look a little bit better here So give me one second. Alright, so this is the best I can make this team We got a plus two overall on the first line So for Ponakarovsky Sun Dean and Jeff O'Neill They'll be plus two these guys stay the same overall and then a plus one to our fourth line Which is nice and our defense I didn't really want to change anything plus five for the top pairing plus one from McCabe And white and plus one for how gale will Wade Belak and then our powerplay is looking pretty good Plus five on the first unit plus two on the second unit and it's looking pretty good boys. The team's looking good I'm excited to see how this goes So let's start with the preseason I guess so I'm excited to see what the other teams haven't stored to man We're gonna take this Like a day at a time. I kind of want to see other teams and what they're looking like here view owner goals Okay, so this doesn't really matter like we're not really in for that We just want to see how this team does men and see if we can win a cup with this team in one year I think it's possible. Yeah, never know though. You really never know so preseason didn't go too well for us Three three and one that's okay. I guess so we're playing Montreal and Ottawa back the back dude So, you know what for the first game? I want to simulate it. I want to see What players Montreal has I want to see how we do an opening night. So here we go first period 1-0 Saku Koyvu scores on Andrew Raycroft Okay, second period 1-1 Matt Stasian gets the first goal of the season for your Toronto Maple Leafs And we will send the third period to see how it goes here. Come on Toronto. I need to see a goal Bonk I don't remember that name scores on Andrew Raycroft making it a 2-1 hockey game and Saku Koyvu scores his second of the night and second of the season to make a 3-1 hockey game still plenty of hockey left to be played The Leafs look in a score one to try to claw back in Matt Stasian with a second of the night three to go here Can we tie it up before so tea we cannot a very good first game of the season shots We're even at 30 a piece Stasian getting two goals Koyvu with two goals looking at the three stars Yeah, pretty much what I just said good game. We go on to the next one and we try to win it All right, so let's simulate a month here. We will go to the first I don't know who would be on Vegas. So not a great start to the season here. We got a trade Carolina is giving us Adams or trade in the way crowd Let me look at this trade. I kind of want to just stay with the OG 0 6 0 17 I don't think I should be accepting any trades in all honesty Adams, who are you unknown? There's literally no point in doing that. So let's just continue to simulate We have yet to win a game this season. We wouldn't want to shoot it against the Rangers We're on a little bit of a winning streak there. We take an L, but that's okay So after one month, we are four five and oh not the greatest We are sitting six in the Atlantic Division not too far behind other teams though Which is great looking at our team leaders here Michael Pekka looks to be leading the team of points Which is nice. He has 11 Cowell with 10 Thomas Cabela with 7 Matt Sunday in the captain was 6 Who's leading in goals? Michael Pekka and then Pavel Kubina. We need we need some more goal scoring here And how's our goal tenders doing here? Andrew Ray cough Andrew Ray croft is 2 4 and oh not the greatest in 8 85 State percentage not good. We need our goal tendon to be better to say the least so It is what it is.  We'll do a quick simulation. Let's see what team we want to play what what they're looking like I kind of want to see what the flyers and the flames are looking like so we'll simulate to Len and We'll do that so a little winning streak to start the month out here Things you'll have to see we move to seven six and oh as we take on the Philadelphia flyers on the road So here we go first period. It's a one-nothin hockey game Sam. Garnier Scores our Ray Croft. Okay second period to one hockey game We got Chad Kilger and Jeff O'Neill scoring here both Both getting some big goals here. All right, third period. It's a one-goal hockey game shots Or even at 17 a piece we need that insurance market to feel a little bit safe here Who's gonna be I want to see Matt's and Dean score a goal for us here I'll be honest with you guys Matt's and Dean. Can you pollen in for the Leafs here? Come on. We're doing it. It's a grindy game here It's a one-goal game with two to go come on Can the Leafs stick it out and they do they win a two-to-one hockey game against the Philadelphia flyers Raycroft we said we need a better goal tending. We got it from them and Jeff O'Neill with a goal in three hits things You'll love to see So we're gonna move on a Calgary here I kind of want to see what Calgary and Buffalo is looking like so we're gonna simulate those two games as well The client any trades that come our way here. So here we go playing the Calgary flames on home ice First period it's a 0-0 hockey game. Okay. Okay second period one nothing hockey game Bates, but Taglia Square on me K. Kipras off Mika Kipras off my mistake. Oh my goodness the nostalgia I'm getting from seeing some of these names here, man. I love it dude. I miss I miss watching these teams I'll be honest with you here. So let's see if the Leafs can get an insurance marker Alexander steen puts one pass Mika Kipras off from a very weird angle to nothing hockey games things You'll love to see we got five to go here Can we stick it out to get back-to-back wins two to go and it looks like the Toronto Maple Leafs are Getting a win here and it's a shutout win. Who was in there for the Leafs? It wasn't Ray Croft Ray Croft I said we need a better goal tending. He gets a 31 save shut out things You'll love to see base but Taglia getting a second star with a goal and Mika Kipras off had a 933 Say percentage he played an outstanding to just couldn't get any goal support in that game So we play a back-to-back. We're playing these Sabres necks who are doing pretty decent this year as well So I kind of want to see what the Sabres team is looking like. So here we go first period. It's a 1-0 hockey game I don't know that name. I'll be honest with you. We got Auburn and that tonight So it's a 1-0 hockey game after one second period. It's a 1-1 hockey game Michael Peck a scoring on Ryan Miller, man The battle the Leafs used to have against the Buffalo Sabres and Ryan Miller was absolutely insane He would always always play amazing against us. So we couldn't do much about it in all honesty So here we go third period We got to kill off a penalty and we we do it But Jason Palmerville scores not too later not too later after that Thomas vanek scoring two minutes after and it looks like The Leafs are gonna be losing this game. We get it one to try to make a comeback. We don't do it It's a 3-2 hockey game. That's okay by me well played We tried our hardest vanek with a goal Palmerville with a goal and I don't know who that is in all honesty So we lose the game there after winning what it was two in a row there So it is what it is We're gonna simulate the rest of the month here and see how we do we need to pick up some more wins Keep this record looking nice Stop with the trade. Thank you very much. Oh, these losses are hurting our soul We are on a huge losing streak here. Can we pick up a win to end the month? We pick up a three nothing win there We are 10 13 and oh that isn't the greatest man We are sitting eighth in the Atlantic right now that is not good But again not too far behind but we do need to pick up the pace Matt Sun Dean we were asking more from our captain. He's he's doing more for us He's leading us in points pack up right behind him well We'll right behind them leading goals is Michael pack us on Dean right behind him same with Jeff O'Neill Looking at our goal-tending situation a Ray cross looking better picked up two shutouts in that month, which is great We I don't know man. I maybe we got to switch up the lines a little bit here So I'm gonna switch Pekka and Tucker. Just see if that does anything. I'm not too sure But taglia will keep there Yeah, that's about it like I don't know what else to really change here Maybe spread out with the pluses here that might be a good idea. So let's do that and see how that goes All right, but I don't know if that's gonna do much for us. We're gonna see so we're gonna simulate the month here So let's do that. Hopefully we can do good and we are gonna See what we can do here. So 2-1 loss 3-2 loss. My goodness. This is not good. We are in a huge losing streak We need to pick up wins not else here boys. Come on 7-1 win against the Blackhawks That's huge picking up a little bit of a winning streak here things. You'll like to see Okay, not the greatest here 6-4 win 2-1 win and a 4-1 loss. We're 16-20 and 0 That's not good like let's just be honest here We do move up one one spot in the the Atlantic here But it's not looking good for our chances here This is looking like a bust of a season with the Toronto Maple Leaf So we're gonna simulate against the Senators who are 28 7-1. They're having themselves one hell of a year First period we're down 2-0 and Antoine Vermette and Danny Healy like this Senators team is Absolutely unreal second period. It's a 3-3 hockey game though.  So we have ourselves a hockey game here 3-3 heading into the third The Leafs are looking for an upset win Let's be honest the Senators team should be blowing by us with the way they're doing this season We're taking so many penalties, but we're killing them off power play of our own can't convert another that was three penalties in this period Can we stop here team? Thanks. All right, come on Who's gonna be the saving grace here in Toronto? We're going to overtime and guess what we're gonna intervene So I do want to see I do want to see Who wins this so CPU versus CPU game We got the Toronto Maple Leafs against the Ottawa Senators. Let's see what we can do here This is gonna be an interesting overtime period. There we go true broadcast is now good to go Let's see who can win this we got Sun Dean wearing 15 for some reason interesting Okay, I don't know about these player numbers Spetza with a shot great save by Andrew Raycroft Oh big block from Sun Dean here Danny Healy trying to center it there Pavel Kubina off to the races here He's looking to get something done. He loses it to Jason Spets. He gets it back. That's Adina Kubina Pavel Kubina What a save from Martin Gerber over across and the Leafs win it Kyle Wellwood in overtime huge win against the Great Ottawa Senators things you'll love to see Leafs take a three to two or four to three in overtime Let's go. That was a gritty win from our Toronto Maple Leafs team We love to see it like the Senators men are absolutely raking it there They're first in the NHL right now and we were able to take them in overtime. So that's a that's a moral dub for this team So let's simulate the rest of the month here. See what we can do game against Carolina We lose in overtime not the greatest and we're back to our losing ways, man It looks like this year is gonna be a bust for your Toronto Maple Leafs. It hurts to see man It really does. I wanted to see what this team could do in the playoffs and clearly They're not gonna do much because they're not gonna make it here. So at the end of what four or five months We were 22 25 and two We are still seventh in the Atlantic Still a lot of time to catch up man, but the way it's going. It's not looking great here And I don't know what we could do to change it here. Maybe try to get some more pluses overalls here I don't think dropping Sun Dean to This second line makes much sense, but hey, we'll try it out. Alright, so we dropped Sun Dean to the second line I don't think it's gonna make much difference, but we're gonna see here. We don't have much hockey left to be played here What is what this break? Maybe it's an Olympic break. I'm not sure what exactly it is But we're gonna simulate them on 28 days here. Let's see what we could do here a shootout win Against the Devils is absolutely huge. So we pick up the two points there We can we need as many points as we can get here if it wasn't obvious here boys So five two loss not great natural predators to fire their head coach. Okay for nothing win there That's good. So we're 25 26 and 2 we are currently 7th still 7th We got a lot of catching up to do man I think this season is gonna be a bust to say the least here We're gonna go ahead and simulate the rest of the month here Just a little sad. I'll be honest with you. It's pretty sad. So let's keep it going here. Yeah. Yeah We're fine with that need to pick up wins here need to pick up wins. Let's keep it going here boys I think we've been picking up more wins since we dropped Sun Dean down as we're on a losing streak Here so maybe not. I don't know. This is this this definitely does suck. We'll say we're a seller But we're not we're not entering the trade deadline. We're not changing this team up at all We're gonna try to win out with this team We need to go we probably need to win out if we want to try and push for the playoffs at the end of March We are 32 32 and 2 so we're above 500 technically in the Atlantic still in 7th place Bruins are falling far behind We still got a lot of room to To make up here, and I don't think it's gonna happen here We got a month left So let's see what we can do in this month here. All right. Come on Toronto We need a big push and we need to win out essentially I think that's our best bet here and pick up a three game winning streak there Which was nice. We're winning games to be fair here. Is it possible? I don't know I don't know we need to keep winning here These losses at the end of the season ain't great two losses in a row a game against Boston We finished 41 30 92 Typical leaf fashion to finish in the middle of the pack kind of thing where second-last as I say that 84 points in the season looking here. I mean middle of the pack in the NHL pretty much So I'm Dean ended up finishing with 69 points in 82 games. Nice So that's something So looking here at the leaders 69 points in 82 games while it was 1682 O'Neill with 59 82 Pona Kirovsky with 48 and 82 Jeff O'Neill ended up leading the Leafs with most goals time with Pona Kirovsky here Interesting things so Pekka wasn't too far behind them and then looking at our goal-tending situation a 906 on this on the season Ain't bad 36 and 32 for Raycroft isn't too bad. Auburn went 5 and 8 with an a 96 So our backup goal-tending wasn't the greatest But it is what it is. So regular season has ended We're gonna simulate the rest to see who wins the cup. So give me a second here So the Stanley Cup champions are the Tampa Bay Lightning. I guess things haven't changed since 2006 It's a current year the Tampa Bay Lightning's are now your Stanley Cup champions We're gonna go check all the trophies see if the Leafs cleaned up in any of any of this I don't think we did but the Tampa Bay Lightning are Stanley Cup champions the president's trophy went to the Avalanche Clarence S. Campbell went to the Stars Prince of Wales went to the Lightning Okay, so those are all the team awards looking at individual rewards the air Ross went to Marion Gabric The Harlem Memorial went to Martin St. Louis the James Norris went to Scott Nita Meyer Lady Bing went to Marion Gabric. That's two awards for him three awards now Caldera Mario going to Marion Gabric Constamites going to Dennis Vesna Trophy going to oh my god. He wet That's a throwback name Vesna to Hewett as well our Jennings to Hewett Mark Stahl. Okay, we don't count that Jack Adams. Okay, Frank J. Selke going to Pavel Datsuk None other than the man himself Ted Lindsay going to Martin St. Louis and then Maurice for sure our trophy going to Marion Gabric He cleaned up with four trophies. So pretty cool to see That's gonna be the end of this video.
