What's going on and welcome to the MLB DFS Q&A. My name is Tom Vecchio. I am here for the next 30 minutes to take your live questions about tonight's 14-game MLB sleep. Jim Sonets is away today. He's at the FanDuel World Fantasy Baseball Championship in Denver. He will also be off on Monday. That means I will be here live 9am on the FanDuel YouTube page for the solo shot. I also will be here on Monday afternoon taking your questions right here on the FanDuel YouTube, Twitch, Facebook and Twitter page. Starting off for tonight's late 14 games in terms of the weather, we are looking pretty good. A few little rain spots here. There are nothing too big of a deal. There's a little bit of wind blowing in and of course this is all from Kevin Roth on Twitter. Some wind blowing in in Colorado, but of course it's cores. We're not really worried about that. So we are in a good spot. We have plenty of pitchers to discuss on tonight's late. We have plenty of hitters to discuss as well. Starting off, let's make sure we've got some lineups here as well. Starting off, DJ on Facebook is saying, Free Gray Gilbert or Miekloss with no pitch count tonight. Yes, of course, the Lizard King aka Miles Miekloss is back for St. Louis. He pitched 85 pitches in his most recent start last Saturday in the minor leagues, so he should be good to go now. Who do we like in that range tonight? You know, I'm always going to be siding with someone like Sonny Gray. You know, we want that strikeout upside. We want that potential ability for him to reach for that fancy ceiling, which we know he has, especially going up against Miami. We're looking at a strikeout rate for some of the pitchers on tonight's late. Sonny Gray is up there at 28.5%. It's the fourth best on tonight's late, yet he's sitting at $8,300. So I'm always going to be taking that high strikeout pitcher given all these options.  You know, we do see Baltimore having a little bit more power this season versus lefties compared to versus righties. So at $300 cheaper, excuse me, $600 cheaper down to $8,300, I will certainly take Sonny Gray tonight. Savannah on YouTube is asking best games for offense today. Tonight, obviously we got to be liking the Colorado game. Really not too worried about the pitching on either side. So Colorado and Arizona, of course, it's always viable for a game stack. I wouldn't hate going to the Braves and Orioles for a bit of a game stack here. I know the Orioles are not the best offense in the league, but they certainly do have some more power against lefties compared to versus righties. So those are the first two spots I would be looking at. And then kind of a sneaky spot could be the Jays and the Detroit Tigers game. So yes, we do know that Robbie Ray is a very strong strikeout pitcher. You know, we call it the best on the slate. Of course, Chris sailed the 40% strikeout rate. That's only been through one game.  So him allowing a couple home runs to some of the Tigers hitters wouldn't be too much of a surprise. Combined with the fact that we will have, I believe, an open roof. Roger Center in Toronto will have an open roof. So boosting that hating environment just a little bit in Toronto. So that's one of the other games I would certainly be looking for some offensive upside tonight. Kyle on YouTube is asking thoughts on McCullers and sending great tonight as cheaper options. Absolutely love both of them. I actually wrote up Lance McCullers today his player prop for his strikeouts for the over seven and a half strikeouts night for McCullers. Now this season McCullers 27.7% strikeout rate certainly very strong. He's going up against the Mariners. They are going up against Reides. Let's make that the active roster. I'll flip to the reason why I'm so interested in McCullers. So if you're asking me to choose between them, I, you know, we're kind of splitting hairs here since they are literally nearly the same salary. Ultimately, I think I would go with McCullers just because he's at home in an AL park compared to Sonny Gray, who's at home in an NL park.  So I do really like McCullers tonight though. So Seattle third worst in the league right now versus Reides with a 25.2% strikeout rate. Now McCullers, like I said, has a 27.7% strikeout rate on the season, but in recent starts since the All-Star break, we've seen him push this to 41, 33, 29, 32, and 32% strikeout rate. So in five of his six starts since the All-Star break, he's been above his season average. Now he's going up against Seattle who strikes out the third most versus Reides. So yes, I'm interested in the over and his strikeout prop, which I wrote about. I'm interested in McCullers tonight.  I'll choose McCullers over Gray, but I do think that they're both very, very strong options tonight. Savannah is asking any weather games, any games with weather they should stay away from? No, we're looking at, you know, a few showers here or there. Of course, this Chicago Kansas City game is going on right now. Don't need to worry about that. A few showers, a few showers, few showers, but no major issue. So all green tonight when it comes to whether we are good there. DeFuse on YouTube is asking, how well do the Yankees great out for you tonight? Absolutely awesome. We are looking at a great, great spot for the Yankees. You know, kind of as we saw last night, the twins had John Gantt open up last night. He was just the opener. Really, we're not worried about the Minnesota Twins bullpen overall. So the Yankees should be a priority tonight for a lot of people I know that the Yankees lineup. I mean, one through seven is looking really, really strong. I think you can be legitimately going to any of those options. Going to Velazquez or Gardner would only be options if I'm going for a wrap around stack. You know, going like eight, nine, one, two, eight, nine, two, three, something like that. And you need the Sally relief, especially if you are paying up for a pitcher. You know, get into one of these top tier pitchers, you know, like sale, Bueller or Ray. I mean, we're dealing with not a whole lot average per player remaining. Then if you try and add in some of these, you know, expensive Yankees hitters, it drops it down immediately. So this is, you know, the kind of situation where I would look to add in of Velazquez or of Rick Gardner simply for the Sally relief and do a wrap around stack, because there are some very, very expensive pitchers on tonight's list. The Yankees are absolutely a priority for me on tonight's slate. Salvatore on YouTube is asking Austin Gomber in GPPs. You know, Gomber is a pitcher. I understand he's, you know, he said to be back that despite this injured designation, he said to be back tonight. But like the GPPs tonight, if you really, really need to go there at that salary range, I think it's acceptable. Obviously, we're just hoping that no one else is on him. And he's just far, far under the radar. You know, I wouldn't hate taking a shot with Brett Anderson ahead of him. But I understand if you're going to Gomber, it is a viable tournament option. He did look strong at certain parts earlier this season. What's the status of Arizona and their new law allowing sports betting? That's not a question I can particularly answer. I don't know if it's fully like it's from my understanding, it's like legal, but it's not like fully turned on yet. Like it's not been launched. That's something you'd have to look at when it comes to the state regulations or I assume there will be some big announcement. That's a question I have on tonight, a specific answer for tonight's late. DJ is asking thoughts on Rufaldo Castro tonight. I don't, are you talking about as a hitter? I don't go too deep into the specific players when it comes to most slates. I understand that if you need this out of relief, like you can certainly go to him. But like I more morally focus on going to teams as stacks, like going to a player level is not something that I dig down to too much. If you were saying, oh, I need salary relief at the shortstop position and you need $2,200 of salary relief at the shortstop position. I think that would be an easier question or just like a broader question to attack. I would go with Jose Iglesias. If you have $2,300, I don't think that Sam Hench is for Cleveland. Is that good picture? He has the platoon advantage against him. So if you need this out of relief, I have a little bit of interest in the angels. I go into them as a stack overall. But again, I don't go like super deep into a player by player level. It's more about the team overall and I'm willing to attack them. Savanna is asking, can you rank Seattle? Seattle, excuse me, St. Louis team for me tonight. St. Louis at home. I think that they are certainly a viable option. Go against Mitch Keller. Keller is not a pitcher that I'm really too worried about overall. Let's see if St. Louis's lineup has been confirmed. Pirates, Diamondbacks, Nationals, Orioles, Astros. Do we have the Cardinals tonight? Are the Cardinals confirmed? They are confirmed. All right, Cardinals here. Pretty standard lineup for them. Obviously, if you have the salary available, of course, getting to Aeronado or Goldschmidt are the easiest answers. But Harrison Bader has some really nice pop, especially being under $3,000, some serious homerun upside. So I would rank Aeronado, Goldschmidt, 1-2. Then I would go Bader, O'Neill, Edmund, and then Yachty, dipping down a little bit further into their lineup. Bader, I think, makes a lot of sense. I don't love them batting 8th in lineup, but it is what it is for a player who's $2,800. Stacking the angels versus henches. Yeah, I just mentioned that. I have some interest in the angels tonight going up against Sam henches for the Cleveland Indians slash Cleveland Guardians, whatever you want to call them. A pitcher that allows too many homeruns where is he? Or too many fly balls? Hentches right here. Let's look at some of his splits. Obviously, not the largest sample size this first year in the Major is only 48.2 innings pitched this year. But too many homeruns for him, specifically versus right handed hitters, but a 5.44 ex-fib, a 4.77 ex-fib versus lefties and righties is not something I'm really too worried about.  He's yet to see that translate into a lot of homeruns versus lefties. So really overall, I'm interested in the angels. Like I said, they also shouldn't be too popular in the grand scheme of tonight's slate. Like they're sitting down with a 4.86 implied run total, which I think is certainly great, but they are clearly a tier below some of these top teams. So the angels as a stack is a spot that I do have interest in tonight. Kenneth on YouTube is asking, how do you feel about the White Sox against Waka? I wrote about Jose Ebreu tonight as potentially under the radar option going up against Michael Waka because I do not think he is a good pitcher. So the White Sox are yet another team that I have kind of in this second tier. I think they're 16th on the slate, 4.41 implied run total tonight. That's 16th on tonight's slate. This is no man's land, right? And we look at Waka's stats this year. We look at his splits. Like he's allowing way, way too many homeruns to righties. 2.15, excuse me, versus righties this season despite the fact that he's a right-handed pitcher. You know, 36, 34% fly ball rate aren't horrible, but a 48% hard contact rate allowed versus right-handed hitters and a 21.8% homerun to fly ball ratio. Way, way too much hard contact versus righties combined with the fact that he's not a big strikeout pitcher. All right, so he's not a pitcher that I'm necessarily afraid of in any capacity. So going to the White Sox, a righty stack for them I think is certainly in play tonight. Like I said, I wrote up Jose Abreu. So he would be my top option from the White Sox tonight. You'd of course go to any of their hitters tonight. I don't think they're going to be super popular especially given their salaries. I think that shifting some of those salaries the high $3,000 range to a team like the Yankees, is very easy to shift them and everyone's going to be looking towards Yankees. That's why I like the White Sox as an under the radar option. How would you rank Milwaukee tonight? I think Milwaukee's an absolutely fantastic spot. I think that we should be going to multiple of the right-handed hitters going up against Patrick Corbin. Let's just give this a refresh to see if their lineup is confirmed. Corbin allows way, way too many homeruns this season versus right-handed hitters. I actually wrote up Avicel Garcia as a homerun for a homerun prop tonight. See, do we have the Brewers updated a lineup or the confirmed lineup? I should say Red Sox, Rays, Cardinals, Tigers. I don't think we have the Brewers yet but the right-handed hitters from the Brewers tonight are in a phenomenal spot. I think that we should be looking to multiple options. I think that the Brewers are really looking to be one of my favorite stacks on tonight's slate outside of that course field and probably outside of Yankees. 2.41 homeruns per night of 478 x5. He's got a 16.9% strikeout rate. Absolutely nothing to be afraid of. He's getting burned by homeruns time and time again this year. So if I'm ranking them, Avicel Garcia is probably one of my top overall options followed by Escobar, followed by William Dames. I think you can be going to those three as the core three right-handed stack from Washington. Of course, looking to adding Yellich, I don't think, you know, he should be super, super popular tonight. And then ultimately, if we see Corbin pulled from the game and they bring in a right-handed pitcher to go up against some of these righties from the Brewers, Yellich would have the platoon split at that point. So Garcia, Escobar, Dames, Yellich in that order are my top four for the Brewers. If you need this out of relief, you can certainly drop down and take Manny Pina at 2,200. Should not be popular. Really bringing you some saving. Salvatore on YouTube is asking top two stacks to play in GVPs tonight. The Braves are just really just in a phenomenal spot. I would say if we're accounting for everything, salary, how popular these teams gonna be, et cetera, et cetera, I'd be willing to fade the Rockies if you're going with like a single entry. I would actually be willing to go to the Braves and the Yankees tonight, the Braves and the Reds tonight as two of my top overall stacks. If you can't afford the Yankees and the Braves, that's where I'd go like Braves, Brewers, Braves, Reds, something around there. I think that really we are in a spot tonight to see a lot of offense from like six or seven different teams, the Rockies, the Yankees, the Braves, the Reds, the Brewers and the Blue Jays. Like all of these teams, if you told me, you know, wake up tomorrow morning and four, five, six of these teams all had three, four home runs, I'm not gonna be shocked at all like that's the kind of slate I think we're on board for, which is just a lot of scoring pictures to target tonight as in target as in rostering or to target against because we have a loaded loaded top tier when it comes to really these top four pictures. Now we could break them up a little bit in terms of ranking them. I think Ray's in a great spot.  He does allow some home runs. That's of course been his kind of his ML throughout his career when he was with especially with the Diamond backs, a lot of strikeouts from him can potentially be a lot of home runs as well. Chris Sale, I think is of course a phenomenal option. 10.7 we saw what he can do or remembered what he can do in that first start against Baltimore. He only pitched five innings in that game, but Boston was up like 10-1 or 10-2 or 8-2 or whatever it was. He did pitch 89 pitches in that start.  I don't think they pushed him out there into the 16 just because they didn't have to. So I'm fully on board with Chris Sale tonight, not worried about his pitch count target pitchers against Saban is asking really tonight's late. I think we're going to see a lot of home runs. So targeting against Keegan-Akin with Atlanta. I think it's totally fine targeting of course against Tyler Gilbert in Colorado is fine. Tyler Alexander for Toronto. I think is also certainly fine and then Matt Moore. Matt Moore is not a good pitcher. I don't care what he's been doing recently. That's why I have the Padres brought up here. I have a ton of interest in the Padres tonight. They are this team. I think it could potentially be going overlooked as a stack over on that. Of course, you know, Tatis Machado, some of these players can always be popular, but Matt Moore, 2.06 home runs per nine versus righties with a 510X fit, you know, 1.59 versus lefties. This is not something we need to be afraid of. This is something we actively want to be targeting a 44% fly ball rate and 36.1% hard contact rate versus righties. I am all over the Padres time. This is the team. I guess I forgot to mention when it comes to some of these top teams, but I have a ton of interest in the Padres team. All of their power hitters, Tatis, Cronenworth, Grisham, Machado, all firmly, firmly in play tonight. I think we should be looking to attack Matt Moore, attack Keegan-Akin with Atlanta, go to the Reds going up against Hernandez. I am fully on board. Who else would you stack with San Diego with Cronenworth and Tatis with 6900 left? This is a perfect question from DJ on Facebook. So specifically from San Diego, do we have their lineup? Times it's 417 might be a little bit early to get some of these West Coast lineups. Let's see if we have them. So we don't have the Padres yet, but yes, they are in a good spot. So you have Cronenworth and Tatis as your mean to 6900 left for them. Okay. Obviously it depends on what their confirmed lineup looks like, but like if you could get Will Meyers in there, that would be great. If you need obviously taking NOLA is fine. It really comes down to how much salary if you're willing to go to a one-off and just take three Padres and go to a one-off from another team. That's a little bit cheaper. You obviously don't have the salary to pay up for Machado clearly, but Meyers, NOLA and then Frazier in that order is how I would target them. You know, if you want to go with full four-man stack, you have to take Jake Moriznik at 2,900. That's also fine. It's just getting exposure to the larger stack overall, but Meyers, NOLA Frazier in that order if I could choose any of them. I think we have some great one-offs tonight. I absolutely agree. Salvatore on YouTube, like I said, this is a slate where I'm expecting a lot of home runs. Atlanta, New York, Toronto, Cincinnati, the White Sox as I just mentioned, Milwaukee, I think all and then of course the Game and Course field and San Diego like we are in a spot to see a lot of home runs tonight. If I had to pick some from each individual team, I think that going to Soler at 3,300 is an overly expensive. He obviously has a massive fly ball numbers along with Adam Duvall. Both these players right at the same salary. I think you could be certainly looking there from the Yankees. Obviously, they're certainly a bit more expensive, but Gary Sanchez $2,500 is very, very affordable. I think that's certainly in play from the Blue Jays for some salary relief. Gritchix $2,500 and Gurriel is also only 3,000. They have some serious pop. There's a clear like gap between the top tier from the Blue Jays over 4,000 all the way down to 3,700 and then dropping immediately to 3,000. So the Blue Jays are also a very clear option tonight. And then from the Reds tonight, I think the Reds are in a great spot tonight, probably going a little bit overlooked and the Reds are one of those teams like when they get the home runs flowing, they are in they're just like nonstop. So the answer for me tonight would be Mustakas. And I do think Mustakas himself is going to be popular because he's $2,500 in the split against Hernandez. But I don't think a larger Red stack is going to be that popular in a vacuum. Luke Voigt or Gary Sanchez from Diffuse on YouTube in a vacuum. Luke Voigt or Gary Sanchez it voids in the lineup. I would take Luke Voigt higher in the lineup only by two the $400.  It's like that whole if you want to play that storyline but I would just take Voigt over Sanchez higher in the lineup, you know, the chance that he back one more time is just slightly greater because obviously they're winning in the ninth they lose that opportunity first short and utility DJ is asking on a Facebook area for like a utility player for salary. Is that what you're asking? Like do you have a salary range that you would be looking for that would be a little bit easier. Like my I mean, if I do have Tati stunt that would be great if you could afford to pay for his $4,500 salary. Same thing, of course, is also great story. Like all these are fantastic options, but if you have a salary range upgrade, if you need a little bit savings going to Dan's B Swanson, getting part of a brave stack would also be phenomenal. I think that's fine. And then Kyle Farmer $3,100 for the reds. Like I said, certainly an option Voigt or Gurriel one off Salvatore on YouTube is asking. I would take Gurriel, you know, I think he's you know, certainly a viable option to think $3,000 of very fair as this flies in my face. I mean, it's a very fair salary to pay for him on tonight's late. I like what he's been doing lately. Of course, go for Voigt if you need like the little bit of salary relief, but I would go Gurriel. I think that we do see a lot of homeruns from Toronto. So other options on tonight's late that I've been looking at, like I said, the Padres in terms of pitchers want to drop down a little bit. You need some salary relief. I do have a little bit of interest in me close tonight as I wrote him up today as potentially under the radar option, you know, $7,000 obviously brings a whole lot of salary savings to your lineup allows you to pay up for any stack or any two stacks that you want. And like I said, he pitched 85 pitches in his most recent rehab start last Saturday. So he really should be in a good spot. He's going up against the pirates, obviously a team that we're not worried about overall middle of the league when it comes to their strikeout rates sitting at 23.6%, but a team that offers very, very little offense. Right in 82 WRC plus versus righties right now. That's 27th only. And then we look to some of their hard contact numbers. I think it's 29% 29.9% for Pittsburgh, the second worst in the league. Like we are looking at like the perfect landing spot for a pitcher where's Pittsburgh 34.7% fly ball ratio versus, excuse me, 34.7% fly ball rate versus righties. Like this is the ideal landing spot for a pitcher coming back from an injury like the lizard King Miles Michalos. So I like them tonight at $7,000. DJ was saying for the San Diego question, first shore and utility. Oh, for San Diego, like those players ranked, I would if you can pay up for Cronenworth at 4,300. I think that's obviously the ideal option. Tatis if you can get there and then it comes down to just how much salary you have left for utility by getting to getting to Machado, of course would be great, but you know, paying up for multiple players above $4,000. If you're already looking to roster Tatis and Cronenworth is very, very difficult, especially you know what you're looking for secondary stack where you're looking at pitching. That's the only time like Nola and Marisnik would come into play for, you know, for me when I'm looking to stack San Diego from trying to stack San Diego, it'd be really trying to jam in these four top hitters that are all above $4,000. Obviously, that doesn't leave you with a whole lot of salary left, especially if you're trying to pay up for pitching. If you just want to like roll with Robbie Ray, like you were 2200 per player is not a lot left. That's where I dropped down and have some interest in gray, have some interest in the colors just to provide a little bit of salary relief. And then if you want to drop all the way down, this is where Miquela's comes into play because then you're working with a good amount of salary relief. This is where you could look to a potential Yankee stack right and do a wrap around with Velazquez, you move Tatis back to shortstop. You go to Velazquez at third base, like that's where you get the potential salary relief from Yankees. If you're looking to do a wrap around stack, so you could take Gardner and Velazquez at the bottom of their lineup and then look to add in some of the top two, three hitters from their lineup for that power upside, hoping we get what we saw from Velazquez last night. The Nationals tonight, I saw some people talking about them or just saw the Nationals I should say as a conversation, potentially an option tonight on Twitter, not really a spot that I'm particularly interested in. Just their lineup isn't that strong overall. We also know that Milwaukee has a very, very solid bullpen. Some, I guess that the Orioles have some power in their bats specifically against lefties. So you want to hunt for home runs with the Orioles going to Mancini, Mount Castle, some of these players. I think that's certainly a viable option specifically for tournaments. Hayes going to Mullins, Mount Castle, Mancini, like taking a shot on them would only be an option. Like as I'm expanding the player pool, making more and more lineups. But if you're making five or ten lineups, like the Orioles shouldn't be a team that makes the cut. You would stick to the Braves, the Yankees, Toronto, Cincinnati, you know, Milwaukee, the Chorus Field game, San Diego, these sorts of teams should be like your core teams tonight for building your lineups. Again, I think that tonight's late that we're in a spot to see a whole lot of offense from however many of these teams, five, six, seven of these teams, Colorado, I would say both teams in the Colorado game. I know that the Diamondbacks right now aren't grading out super high, but they still should be in a good spot. Rockies, Yankees, Braves, Blue Jays, Reds, Brewers, Padres, like there can be multiple teams tonight that hit three, four, five home runs. Like and that's what you want to see where you have your core stack, having a lot of those home runs, your secondary stack provides a little bit of salary relief along with some upside and then obviously hunting for some one offs for also home run upside. John Brown, maybe it's the bill's receiver on YouTube is asking how do you feel about the Dodgers night? The Dodgers I think are a good team tonight or the Dodgers are a good team any night. Let's just put it like that. So the Dodgers, you know, against Carrasco we obviously haven't seen a whole lot of good from him in the starts that he's made. The Dodgers are a team that I always have like a good amount of interest in. It's just how much interest that I have them in them with their salaries compared to other teams that I think are in a better spots, you know, slightly better spots. Of course, the Dodgers can score 10 runs any night given the power in their lineup. I actually think that the Dodgers should be less popular than some of the more expensive teams than the Yankees, then Toronto, some of these chalkier teams than Atlanta. So that I have interest in them when it comes to just digging deeper into the player pool and expanding my stack pool when it comes to tournaments. So I think that they're in a fine spot tonight. It's just I don't think that they're in as amazing of a spot as Toronto or as amazing of a spot as the Yankees, if that makes it clear. So I'm fine with the Dodgers. I'm basically every single night. It's just like half a step behind some of these other top tier teams stack at the Los Angeles. Angels, yeah, as I mentioned before, Hentges is not a player or not a player, not a pitcher that I'm particularly worried about. He's giving up too many home runs. The Angels also aren't a team that I am expecting to be too popular tonight. And more importantly for the Angels, I think that they make like that perfect secondary stack because yeah, you'd love to pay up for Otani tonight, but he's 4,500. Jared Walsh is 2,900, the next most expensive option. So it's not I don't love fading Otani, especially from going to the Angels of course, one of maybe the only player in their lineup that has like multi home run upside, but Walsh, Stasi and Upton do have some nice home run upside and I'd be willing to go them as a secondary stack because their salaries are so affordable tonight. So I kind of mentioned the Angels a little bit earlier and going to them against Hentges and I think that is like totally, totally a viable option tonight. Again, should not be super popular. Just given the context of this 14 game slate. All right, so that does it for today. We have a great slate. A lot of home runs. I'm expecting on tonight's slate. I'll be back on Monday morning for the solo shot right here on the Faneville YouTube page.

Hello, this is Jim Hogue, and I'm back on the House at Puccorner. I have a quote for you, difficile est satorum nonscribere. That means it is difficult not to write satire. And that was from juvenile, who lived from AD 60 to 130. And he is the first satirist that I'm aware of. And he is followed by Jonathan Swift, maybe the greatest of all time, Mark Twain. And in the last century, particularly, well, we have Oscar Wilde, and then Tom Lair. And for today's entertainment, I have rewritten Tom Lair's piece, The Old Dope Peddler. And hopefully you will recognize who the old dope peddler is. But satire, it's difficult to describe what satire is. It's often written on two levels, for the people who don't get it and the people who do get it. And some of the great satires that we've seen in the last several years are, say, all in the family, married with children. And I mention that because Carol O'Connor, who played Archie Bunker, was stunned, almost horrified. I saw him interviewed that people didn't know. They didn't know that all in the family was a satire. They thought that he, as Archie Bunker, was for real, and they loved what he was up to. They just didn't get that he was making fun of them and that kind of character. So I was rather surprised when I saw that interview, but I learned a lot from it that successful satires are often written on two levels. You have the Simpsons, which is a good example of that. And I can think of another satire I used to make some postcards. And one of them was called Vermont Studs. And I had a chelameal trying to milk a bull. And these cards sold in stores. And a friend of mine owned a store. And she said, a woman came in and she said, well, that doesn't look like a stud. And she says, well, it's a joke. He's trying to milk a bull. It's a joke. And the woman stood there, obviously not understanding what was said. And she said, well, doesn't look like a stud to me. So that's another little bit of learning, learning curve that I had about if you want to do satire and you want a big audience, then you have to write it on two levels. This particular one, I hadn't really thought about that. I just wrote what I had to say. And I'm going to let it go at that. And I suppose that's probably all that. Oh, yes. I wanted to mention that Tom Lair, the great satirist who wrote the old dope peddler, also wrote the Vatican rag and other famous pieces. He gave up satire, he said, when Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Prize. That must have really cut off a lot of satirists at the knees. Because if you're going to satirize anything along those lines, the idea that someone like Henry Kissinger could win the Nobel Peace Prize would be great satire. But it happened. The nightmare actually happened. And so Tom Lair said that that's it. I can't do this anymore. He certainly was a great one. So anyway, here we go with the old dope peddler by Tom Lair and myself with me on the ukulele. And we'll fade into something interesting for you after this little ukulele introduction. When the shades of night are falling comes a fellow, everyone knows it's the old dope peddler spreading joy wherever he goes. Every evening you will find him around the neighborhood. It's the old dope peddler doing well by do-hoo. He gives the kids free samples because he knows full well that today's young innocent faces will be tomorrow's clientele. There's a cure for all your trouble. Here's an end to all this stress. It's the old dope peddler with injection happiness. I'll hire the doctors and the nurses for that's all right with him. For the old peddler prescribed each valid practice. Such cures must all be tossed for the old. The cures are customers lost. Mother nature must be conquered. Gainer function is the game. But the pattern doesn't matter. For the goal is just the same. From kids to ancient elders, every race and every creed. The old dope peddler gives them everything.

In the view dropdown, we got the hide icon bar, open windows list checked off, open windows open on the left, reports, drop down, company and financial, profit and loss. Let's change the range from 010123 to 123123 and I'll customize it with the fonts and the numbers changing the font up to 14, okay, yes and okay, balance sheet and the reports drop down company and financial. This time the balance sheet and let's change the range up top 010123 to 123123 fonts and numbers on up to 14, okay, yes and okay. We're now going to be correcting a couple transactions with regards to a date error noting that date errors are some of the most common types of errors if you're working your data input in a time frame that's not the current time frame. Now in this practice problem, I'm actually basically working in the future, but normally in practice you obviously wouldn't be entering data into the future typically, but you might be entering like a year's worth of data or so in the past and in that case it's common to be entering stuff after the point in time that you wanted to because you might be entering it into the current time frame instead of in the time frame when it should be taking place. Note that if you're doing bookkeeping in real time and you're doing bookkeeping as it is happening, you can turn on the preferences to give you the warnings in terms of the date ranges which we turned off so you could do that by going to the editing drop down, you can go into the preferences, go into the accounting up top and then we have these two items that we turned off which say warned if transactions are 90 days in the past, warned if transactions are 30 days in the future. That could be a great tool to limit the the transactions that are entered in a in the wrong period. You can also set the closing dates so that people cannot enter information into a period that has been closed as well and that option is down here but if you're working like not in real time and you're entering a whole past amount of data for like a year or something like that then of course you could it's best to basically turn these items off or else you're going to have them popping up every transaction they're not going to help you at all they're just going to be a nuisance. So let's close this back out and then I'm going to go into the list dropdown let's take a look at the chart of accounts and then I'm going to go into double clicking the checking account to go into the register I'm going to go all the way to the top of it now and I've got these two transactions entered in 2021. Now this one right here now notice again if I was working real time and I had closed 2021 then it wouldn't allow me to enter in there unless I had access where it would at least give me an error. If I had some some terms to say don't allow me to enter 90 days or whatever in the past it would also at least give me a pop-up that I would have to ignore before I entered that transaction. Also note that this one has cleared the bank so that should give me some pause to say okay what am I going to do about that if it's cleared the bank but I know that in this case when it cleared the bank so it's not really going to cause me a problem to change the date although it will not match up to my static bank reconciliation. So just to note that if I open up the bank's reconciliation that I made here it is it'll show here that this is the date that it was entered 1228-21 and I'm going to change that now it'll still show up as cleared but I'm going to change the date on it and I'm going to say okay let's make this 2022 and that's the date I want it in as of I'm going to say enter actually I'm going to say hold on cancel I'm going to make it as of 2023 sorry about that 2023 the current period that we're working on in the future in this case okay you have changed the transaction do you want to record I'm going to say yes it'll still show up as cleared so we should be good there this one was a prior period transaction it's not going to have it really any impact but I wanted to put it in there as of actually I think this should be 228 as well so I'm going to say this should be 228-2023 and that went to the balance sheet account so I'm going to say okay I've changed them so they're going to be down here now so we've recorded those you got to be very careful to do that obviously in practice because you want to note what the impact on the bank rec will be and what the impact if they're cleared and recording or changing any prior period transaction got to be careful about doing that if I go back to the to the balance sheet this is where we stand at this point in time I'm now going to go to the trial balance and just check that out so if I go to the reports accounting and taxes trial balance running this from 010123 to 123123 this is where we stand as of now going to customize it fonts and numbers change the font bring that up to 14 okay yes and okay so this is where we are at this point hopefully everything is up to date you can check your numbers here with after that adjustment


Good morning is Two minutes past nine so we can start Welcome to the activities of Intercollege and optics today we have Full activity we have Lectures, and we have also experimental hands-on session so For the beginning we will start with a lecture Introduced by Professor Ahmadu Wagh from University, Czech Anta Biop from Senegal and He will present a lecture on laser spectroscopy and multi-spectral analysis and Some applications in this field Then we will have a lecture in optical tweezers basics and application presented by Dan Kozok from National Research Council of Italy and Then in the second part of the day starting with 2 o'clock We will have a combined Hands-on activities, so we will have the experimenter session with surface platform resonance method for precise detection and low concentration solution they are groups 1 to 3 with This is in M lab also Experimenter session in Determination of optical properties of thin films Influence of the substrate and materials also in M lab and we will have in Adriatico Informatics lab the computer lab processing, so they are groups 4 5 6 everything will be followed in accordance with the program so keep attention on the program and at the end of the hands-on session from this Location at half past three Please groups which are involved in the experiments in M lab Please go because you already know the road, so may I introduce Professor Ahmadu Wagh, please professor Thank you very much. Please mister. Okay, so good morning everybody It's it's a great pleasure for me to be here today at ICTP and I would like to thank the organizer for opportunity to talk about multispectroscopy and laser spectroscopy with some application so I start with the outline before going I Would make a brief presentation of the lab network we stand for African laser atomic molecular and optical science network To me this is important because it is in the framework of this Network that we have done All these things I am going to talk about So and after I will I will show the activities that we have in the atom laser laboratory at the University Shek Antajop of Dakar So for the presentation of the network it was created in in 91 at the occasion of the first international workshop on the physics and the modern application of lasers at the University Shek Antajop of Dakar, Senegal and it was with a participation of about 20 20 countries 20 participating Country from from Africa and also from the from the United States from from Italy and so and Of course it was with the support of ICTP the Senegalese government and French embassy in Senegal and there was a personal involvement of Professor Abdul Salam and Professor Galeno Denaro who was the director of the office of external activity I want to take opportunity to to pay tribute to to professor Abdul Salam and to professor Galeno Denaro they have done a lot for the development of science in in Africa and in developing country so from 1996 The network have established a strong interaction with Lund University and the international program in physical science IPPS in in Sweden Uppsala University and This was thank also to the effort of professor Galeno Denaro Professor Sun Swanberg from Lund University and Professor Lenal Aselgrin from international program of physical science the the main purpose of the network is to promote the physics of Lasers atom molecule optical science and their application as well as to develop a scientific cooperation in Africa in the in this field. So you will see during my talk all kind of Collaborative action that we have established within this this network Here we have we have a map of of the representative of the of the network of the representation We have we are organized such that there is representation in Africa And also we have international contact and our international contact are everywhere as you can see in in Europe in in the United States in Canada in Brazil in Russia in even in In Australia we have somebody there for the for the representation in India and so Okay so The activities of the network it is workshop a school and conferences Development and cooperation in lasers and optical science training program For the development and building capacity in research in optical science in Africa and in this in this framework the network is a Or my laboratory is a node of the African laser center and this African laser center was was created thanks To the activities of the network where we was trying to to bring Hard infrastructure laser infrastructure in a in many places in a in a in Africa so we have also training program for for for development and building capacity activities in international society our network is a member of the ICO International Commission it is the International Commission for optics and also for in Sosa committee and We were a member of a committee for international year of light So this is some of the of a slide to show what we we have done till the the first Meeting in Senegal in 91 we got a meeting in after that meeting in Zimbabwe in 93 in Ghana in 94 in Sudan in 96 in Tunisia in 2002 in 2004 in Cameroon in 2007 again in Ghana in 2010 in Senegal 12 in Senegal and also 14 in Senegal So we are going around around Africa trying to put people together doing research in optical science This is the the slide from my lab In 2000 there was the first ICO topical meeting in Africa so Some people can recognize themself. I say professor Professor Sheepard is here. It's you Yes, and my Maria Calvo Anna also Anna is Anna is there and I was very happy to To to have them in my house. So this was a great pleasure for me So this is a very long time in 2010 So we are trying because if you want to do such kind of networking It is very important to have good collaboration of political authorities So we we got opportunity to visit the the president of Republic of Senegal During the lamp 10 meeting here. You cannot recognize also some people. We have a soon Sunberg is there I think Joe also Johnny Mella is there professor alloté. Who is a member of? ICTP scientific council. I am there myself with the president. I'm taking the hand of the president and and so We have many other Friends from Tunisia from Morocco from from other country. I think Anthony Johnson also is there and Secazi from from the US and so and We we try also to create the African physical society and this African society physical society was launched in Senegal This is the member committee of this African physical society But up to now I have to recognize we are trying to push the things so that These African physical society can work effectively the president is a professor alloté and I am one of the vice president with This professor from Tunisia and other people and also we have ICTP also sitting on board of these African physical society and and after that in 2014 also We we we make a launching of the African optics and photonic society It was one of the workshop also of the of the lab network in Senegal here You can see some people of the international steering committee. We have Anthony Johnson soon soon Swanberg Johnny Mella Yagatai from from from Japan who is in charge of Getting founding and many other people for Paul Baba sure is there I think that's me tired and other people more artists girl are member of these African African optics and photonic society. So this is a the member of of the people participating to this meeting in Senegal and Here, this is the the last lamp meeting with in collaboration with African African imaging Spectral imaging network. The name is asphine. This network also was created in Senegal by the lamp network in 2005 in 2010 It is a kind of sub network regrouping country from Senegal from Côte d'Ivoire from from Ghana from from Burkina Faso Mali and Mali Which is specialized in imaging and in the framework of a collaboration between the lamp and this Subnetwork we have done a lot. It is with the support of of ISP it is the international program in physical science in Sweden and here you can see the officer of of ISP and is a taller one and Carla Who come down in Senegal for this for this meeting and it was also the equation to make a celebration of an international year of light? So now I'm going to talk about the activities that We are doing in our In in our laboratory in Senegal But as I say it is in the in the big framework of of this African laser atomic and molecular and optical science network So we I will talk about lasers and lead induced fluorescent spectroscopy laser induced breakdown spectroscopy X-ray fluorescent spectroscopy, which is which is not exactly in in the framework of of the lamp But this is a collaborative actions that we have with the international atomic energy agents And also we have we I will show something about the military a spectral microscopy that we start with Lund Institute of Technology with with a support of also ISP in 2009 in in Ghana and after that we organize also in Ghana in collaboration with ICTP and group from Genova Francesco Special workshop in Ghana on optical tweezers This this was a very inspiring workshop for us to continue to do a multispectral Microscopy and to to to get into topic for diagnostic of malaria and so Thanks to some of the work of Dan Kojak I think he's going to talk after me who who have developed also a technique for for malaria diagnostic So and and and after that we we have also a topic on multispectral imaging in in a remote sensing This is also in the in the framework of lamb and as we network and We've a support of ISP and Particularly we've a very strong involvement of professor soon swan berk who Is inspiring a lot of things that we are doing within our Network and the last one will be on horizontal microscopy with with lasers. This is the image. I show you During the meeting last meeting near the near the sea What this is the last topic? We just start to do to do these this work and I will show you some image some some Preliminary work that we are doing in this field Okay, so so let's start For by the laser and lead industrialism spectroscopy. This is one of the of the topic we have We have started as I say in 96. We got a strong collaboration with Lune Institute of Technology Lune University with a soon swan berk and this this collaborative action start here at ICTP because soon was coming giving lectures and With a professor denaro we've soon with myself as a as a President of the lamb network. We have organized a meeting in Lund on Dired laser spectroscopy and during this meeting. There was a participation of it is it was a kind of not meeting a workshop for people from Ghana by Paul Babasho from Ghana Abdullah from Sudan myself from Senegal and A friend from from Kenya to to mount a dial laser spectroscopic Equipment so that we can do absorption Saturation spectroscopy modulation spectroscopy and we started this topic in our different country and Especially from my laboratory We were able to train people from from Malia from Mauritania and from other Surrounding country, but I'm not going to talk about about these Dialas spectroscopy. I will I will focus on Honor on a lift which is one of the most sensitive approach Available for analytical purpose because it is very easy to implement. It is a well-investigated And also it is non-invasive techniques and it is imperative for many application in in environmental Monetary so one of the other of the activity of the lab is to to see the fluorescence in in plant and here you have a Simplified a Yablanski diagram, which saw how fluorescence is working. I think during the lecture of Professor Alberto. He have shown many things about that You can you can see here This is the fluorescence Emission this is the excitation in in the in the S1 and S2 level and after there is some Intercrossing system and you have the fluorescence now If you have room temperature, you can you can excite any kind of Molecules so and after there is a fluorescence emission so The activity we have done is the the monitoring of the vegetation by a Spectroscopic detection and this is very important by if you make this detection by electromagnetic Radiation because it is a it is a powerful Non-contact and and non-destructive matter in the study of environments So the and the laser industrial spectroscopy of terrestrial visitation is an important aspect of active remote sensing which provide a specific tool for assessing visitation damage and forest decline and And as you know the development of plant is based on the capture and the transformation of sunlight by chlorophyll through photosynthesis process and the efficiency of This project this process depend Open the presence of sufficient amount of water mineral nutrient carbon dioxide and light so you can the plant damage by pollutants like water stress pathogen result of Reduce rate of photosynthesis. This is why it is important to to make the measurement of a depression of a photosynthetic process and it is an important Criterion in the evaluation of Accessory pigment to chlorophyll a and stress condition in plant here I just show the the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll, which is around 400 nanometers and 700 nanometers I will I will show in the in the in the result. This is the instrumentation. We have it is a very simple instrumentation that was financed by by IPPS and We we we we make a workshop in Sweden in 2001 Where each group from from different African country have mounted his own? Spectrometers so and and this this is very important and after that Every group went back with his spectrometer. This is a for in the African context. This is important to Have your own equipment so that you can work at home Not just to go in some lab in some in some developed country to do things and after when you go back home You you cannot work anymore So with this kind of system and it was very effective at this time.  I will talk about that after So this is a some applications that we have done in our in our laboratory concerning specially medicinal plant you can see the different spectrum and what is interesting in these in this Assessment it is the the two pick of of of fluorescent spectra and you have to to do The the ratio of these two pick and this ratio tell you about the state of the plant, you know, it is the F I cannot see very well here. It is the F 690 and the F 735 nanometer peaks if you if you you you make the ratio of these two peaks like like here It is it is shown you you can see what is what what is the state of the plant and at the same time You can have also a fingerprint of each plant because here we have done with With different plant in in in our country. This is a citroniae carouselier saas and a galensis mangy and pué sapote This was done. This was a MSc thesis of one of my students and We it was very very very interesting to to to do such kind of work and we got a collaboration with our friend from Ivory Coast They they take a portative instrumentation. We got a grant from the to us and they they measure the lack of of Potassium in palm tree, you know before before doing laser technology They used to send the soil sample in France to wait for one two months in order to to get the result and with this technique They they have immediately as a result and they know what to do what what measures they have to take so that to save the plantation for some potential damage and and I talk with some people from Brazil, which are also using this technique in the In the in the orange plantation in a in a in Brazil So after that we we use the same equipment to do application in in photodynamic therapy in in collaboration with With a professor Katerina Swanberg who is sitting here. So we we made the first clinical experience in Senegal Lund University Medical Center Lund University Hospital and also the Department of ENT at the Aristide Le Dentec University And of course the Department of Physics where where is there? my lab This is the the the different application of this of this PDT The the principle is is relatively simple. It is it consists to to to give Some kind of photosensitive sanitizer to a patient and after one hour or two hours. It depends You you can make a checking by a blue a blue laser diode that that I show you and and after that you you make a Therapy with a with a red light. So with with a with a blue blue diode You can make a diagnostic and and and a diagnostic you can see the okay, pardon you can You can see here the shoulder the characteristic shoulder for the for the cancer Which for the cancer cell which are absorbing the the photosensitizer in this in this in this example, it is the alpha amino Levenic acid and and the principle is very simple after after absorbing the LA and with shining and shining with with with a red lasers you you make a excitation and after there is some Inter a system crossing and you you transform there is a photo photo chemical reaction which transform the the triplet oxygen to singlet oxygen and and and the singlet oxygen is a Is a is very bad for the for the organism the singlet oxygen. It is a poison so that you you you induce the intoxication of of the cancer cell by by this by this technique and We we okay. We we started in Senegal, but unfortunately we we we cannot develop filter due to due to lag of a strong political commitment from our our university authority and mental authority because at this time The product was very very expensive and it is a Katrina bring some LA in in our lab at this time I think one gram cost about $150 so this is the also the the workshop we have done in a in moon and this was published by by Katrina Swanberg and soon swanberg in the in the aero aero physical news So this is a some of a session in a in a in Dakar at the at the hospital With a participation of nurse Benso and also a Christina swanberg and and this is biophotonic in in nature You see the nature also is is doing good, but biophotonic by producing nice papaya fruit okay, another topic is the the X-ray fluorescence and for this X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy we have a monochromatic radiation Which can excite also the system and at and and you will obtain the emission of X-ray from from higher share and What is interesting is that there is a characteristic emission for each element. So with this technique you you can make analytical analytical Measurement you can you can measure concentration you can do a lot of things And if you have an unknown sample or so you can use a suitable X-ray sources in in our laboratory in collaboration with international atomic energy we we we got a Portable X-ray X-ray X-ray spectrometers and We have this is the the schematic of the analyzer and this is in our lab The how the setup is there you can see here. This is a This is the X-ray Protective you can take it off and you can go in the field with it with With battery and there is also a GPS a GPS wireless Transmission which is integrated so that if you are if you are making some analytical Measurement in some place you have at the same time All the all the coordinator of the place all the location of the place and For that we we start a mapping a Geological sample in Senegal in the in the eastern part of Senegal in this part you have there is a lot of gold There is gold. There is a Zirconium there is iron and and it was important to to do some collaboration with the geology department in in our in our university and I Some of my student was working on it It is a trauré and and and by that, you know, we sitting here and and others a student So it was it was very interesting because we combine as this method We we've also the lips technique and I'm going after to talk about that because what is what was our problem with with We've a lips technique is that you can make measurement But the problem is how to to measure the concentration I will talk later about it in collaboration with gas me how we how we make something concerning these The measurement of at least of electron dance density So here we we also we also apply this technique in Agricultural product, you know in Senegal people are drinking a lot of tea it is like here in Italy people are drinking a lot of coffee and And we have tea coming from different places from China from Cameroon from from North Africa from Kenya and and it was important to to know The provenance of this different tea and also there is another kind of tea. It is Artemisia Which is very very which is a known has to fight against malaria So we we try to to to make a differentiation of this different tea by by x-ray techniques and also by by lips technique and After we use a principal component analysis to to to see what is the provenance of Of of a different tea and this is this this work also was done by by by Traure and Some other people in you know in my in my lab This is the the same application, but here you have more detail in the in the spectrum you can see the different element Which are contained in this This is the tier number number three sample from Cameroon and and this is the the three Number five sample from China So you you can see and and from China there is different kind of tea in Senegal There is Cheval there is a fecha there is thought there is hella there is a you see all this kind of tea are In Senegal and people are are are using them very very often So now I will start to talk about the the laser's breakdown spectroscopy which is also a very Interesting technique. It is it is fast and it is okay Somehow not not destructive, but in any way in our lab the samples that we we take for for the measurement because we got a two 200 milli joules So there is there is a small damage in the in the sample in any way, but it's not it's not so so terrific So and these lip techniques it it's rely a minimum sample preparation And it can be applied on sample of arbitrary shape in solid liquid or in gaze user status So this is the the equipment we got in In our lab also this was in the framework of the of the collaboration of the lab network with Uppsala University So here we in order to to be sure that That you don't need a Google to to make a measurement because here we have we have a chamber Where if the sample is inside the chamber and you cannot the laser is not operating if if the chamber is open So and if it is closed you you you have not any any damage for you because the radiation are stopped by by the by the by this green glass here. It is radiation at 1064 nanometers, and and this is a I will I will I will talk about that after this is some other a application of the lips the the first When we we start the first experiment we were able to to bring our friend from from Spain Gatsby type who works in the lips laboratory in in CDTA in Algeria so we we we make the first measurement with him and and we are we make a calibration free Method we use a calibration free method to to measure the electron density of of the of the aluminum I lose Okay, but I am not going to show this year, but I just want to to show you what is the Enter equipment as you can see it is it is a very very Very friendly equipment, and it is very solid and still now we are we are doing a lot of work with it Here we we do some application in soil pollution This is very important in in Senegal not only in Senegal, but everywhere. We have a very nice Bay in in Senegal the name is the name is Han Bay it was one of the beautiful Bay I can see in West Africa, but unfortunately nearby they say there is many industry and the industry are Deversing their pollutants in the sea and you see what what happened to the to the nice Bay with such kind of things so we try to to to make some some measurement with with our lips our lips a system and some of my Few of my student was working for their their infiltration and also for their PhD thesis So this is also we we try to to measure the pollution in a implant in Dakar using the lips We took a bark of Of trees in the street where there is many car going on and we make a measurement To this is the name is as a director in Dica in Senegal But he's a his common name is is a name a name trees so we we have Make some measurement and and we have seen a zirconium and the explanation of the presence of zirconium is that in Senegal in many place Especially near they see The sound there is a lot of zirconium even now there is an industrial exploitation of zirconium which is used in a in a cell phone and in many kind of technological apparatus And and also we we try to to use the lips To to study medicinal plant Because you know in Africa the many people they have no money to to buy to buy medicines so they they they got their They they don't go to the doctor, but they go to the To the traditional practitioner who gives them some some plan to say okay You have to drink this and you will so we we we will think thinking to try to see what is what is the content of this medicinal plant and and we know also in advance that the potassium is One of the element which is very important for for diabetic people because the presence of of potassium is is a way to For the for the cell to to control to control the sugar So we try to to to make these potassium content in different in different plant like in a in basilic Basilic is also used here in Italy in Moringa Olifera in Cumbretum in Kenkeleba the Kenkeleba is is a drink is it is like coffee for Italian for the for the For the breakfast people in Senegal there are drinking Kenkeleba, and and Kenkeleba was was supposed to be very very strong to fight against against stroke So we we were trying also to see what is inside and also in the citronella in the Menta Piperita in in Menta Spee Cata, you know I have difficult to to pronounce all this name because we do it we in collaboration with people from from biology in French you call them Biology vegetal because in France they make a differentiation between Biology animal animal biology and and vegetal biology in we have a big university We have a 120,000 students and we have many departments So it is it is a good way to have a collaborative action with these with these different department and to see Many things and and this work is is going on It's going on for for other plant and to to to know exactly what is and we got also collaborative action with With with Odontos tomatology department. It is it is the dental department in our university as this is a two of my student working on on dental analysis the girl is from from Morocco and The objective was to assess the spectral variation depending on the pathology of of different patients affecting by the dental mineral tissue and also to establish a correlation between a different Legion and chemical basic composition of the tooth. It was a very very interesting study because We we have noticed that even We we can make a gender a gender differentiation so I never think about that that There could be a kind of gender differentiation in the in the tip for man and for for for women so this is some of a of of a spectral but but of course this one is is due to the apparatus of a of of the doctors because they have they have Apparatus where there is this this metal and This is some of a spectrum In in in the dentin tissue for for nitrogen for calcium for carbon for potassium based on the different pathology of dental the our doctors they take about 75 75 sample and The analysis where it was made 75 sample and It was published in the in the dental and or a surgery Okay, now I come to the Multi-spectral imaging spectroscopy as as I tell from the beginning these multi-spectral Imaging spectroscopy we started in in 2009 in Ghana and also in 2010 There was a another workshop in Ghana I talk about that at the beginning of my of my of my talk and The country participating with the support of IISP 2008 9 11 12 in Maligana Kenya Codiva and the there was a last activity was in 2015 in Senegal during the year of light So this is a The meeting in Ghana here one can recognize soon swanberg giving lecture And here this is a group of students mounting their own microscope You cannot recognize here by from Senegal a girl is from Ghana I think this one is from from Ivory Coast There is somebody else from from from Ghana here No, at least it was in the University of Cape Coss in Ghana and it was very very interesting because each group have to mount his microscope and after to take it home and And continue to work with it We want to do the same with With optical tweezers, but it was not possible But maybe then we'll talk about it because they got an example here in In in ICT P at Eletra where people are working with here This is the schematic view of the of a microscope of a transform microscope by by Micaela is a and and and soon swanberg and all it is one of the student a very a very smart student of soon swanberg who make this different change and we can make a microscopy in a in a in a different geometry and Exposure time and gain of a camera can be also set and A live update of sample optical property are also shown So you can the image which is obtained by with a system are safe In the t-format so for for visualization and image processing we use MATLAB With a possibility to see the image in black and white three color red green blue or False color representation, but in in our laboratory in in Senegal we we we go We go beyond because we we use now This is a machine learning technique to make also a differentiation in the in the malaria diagnostic between healthy cell and infected cell okay, so The the military spectral imaging microscope we have used in our lab It I think also it is used in other lab of the of the network maybe in Ivory Coast in Mali To to make the characterization of Plasmodium falciferon infected red blue cell and For this purpose we use this microscope to study optical property in diffusion and transmission mode In addition we use a machine learning technique for the differentiation of healthy and contaminated RBC cell and The main aim is to get a quick malaria Diagnostic, you know usually in in Africa. They use the malaria diagnostic They they use the lamell where they take a Drop of blood and after they they go to the lab and it can take More sometimes more than one day to know what is going on and in the meantime The patient can die so there is there is a need to have a quick diagnostic system and to to To to know if immediately if it is a malaria or if it is not malaria because sometimes they give you a Medicine which is very bad for you. I remember my wife was sick and they give to her to her a Medicine that it was not malaria and and and she was very very bad Due to the malaria Pills that they give to her It was terrible even since she got a problem with the eyes So and and myself I was very afraid and after that I don't want to take malaria pills So it is it is just to say that it is a serious problem in Africa, so this is the the the photograph of the Microsoft microscope in in our lab as I show you the schematic view by by Michele and So here this is my my student working on it this is a Salma is in the lab and and by Working on on the microscope There is other student. So this is the component of the of the multispectral Microscope there is a megapixel Camera what you see the characteristic here So the the wavelength which are used is a 388 400 as et cetera, et cetera, but as as you see in one of the of the slide of of by it is in at one four hundred Seventies that we can see here This is the ocean This is the spectrometer from ocean optics This is a very useful spectrometer and it is it is not very expensive. It costs about five thousand dollars that We we got a support of course from from from ISP to get all these things and There is this is the the result in scattering mode and in transmission mode and I will show you after that it is in scattering mode that you can you can have a good result with this microscopic system So here this is some of the image in the in the in the diffusion geometry and here This is the optical spectra This is the treatment by by Matlab not much in learning after I will show you What is the machine learning technique? Here, this is the machine learning technique. It consists to the following you have a known sample With this known sample you make a construction with a function and you you set the the mean square value And you make a validation of this testing we've We've we've known sample. Yeah so after that you take the unknown sample and with your with your hyperbolic function in the in the Exponance of this hyperbola in the exponential here. There is a parameters of the blue sample healthy and infected and after that You you construct your function and and you calculate the the mean square value again, and you compare to the mean square value of the of the training set and if there is a Matching so this means that okay. What you have done is okay. It's good So this is the result obtained with these are in a in transmission mode here the sensitivity is about 92 percent and if you are in the in the Diffusion mode you see the sensitivity is 96 percent So this is a very very important statistic tool not only for for microscopy It it worked also for for leaps for all these things that it is difficult for for you to To know the concentration to nothing so you can you can make a separation So I I personally I think that it is it is good to to take that for in in many lab better of course it is For that you need to to to do some some program nation to know Also, maybe my club to know lab view lab you enter fast in our laboratory. We have a lab you enter fast with with a microscope and now I come to a The part concerning the multispectral imaging in a remote sensing Using telescope combined with lasers This is also one of the work of our our Lamb and sub network as fin network we got a special workshop in a in a in Kenya where There was a participating country from from from Kenya of course from Senegal from Ivory Coast from Côte d'Ivoire No, yes, this is Ivory Coast book enough or so and We've the participation of soon Swanberg Micaelae and also a Chinese Because soon now is working with Katrina in China. So they bring their Chinese friend also To in working with us and they bought the equipment in China and The equipment in China are not very very expensive I think the old equipment is is less than $10,000 all all together you will see I will show you the different equipment with lasers and everything and it was it was supported by Financially by ISP. So this is the field experiment in Nairobi where here we you can see a Buy and Salma from Senegal Anderson from from Ghana and another guy here Who is it? You know him? Ah, it's okay. It is it is my friend. It is Jojo Jojo from from Ghana is sitting there. Okay, you know from from here I have I cannot see very well the image. I don't know if from your place if you see it and And this is you see you see the people were really exciting. This is a guy from Mali Looking at the telescopes. There is two telescopes. I will I will explain later to for for the for the collection of the signal for the registration for the collection of of data and so and and and this is a Micaela and one of my student and and and myself and also Salma is sitting we we do directly a field experiment in the in the research Center on insect in Kenya. This assumes himself looking at the at the telescope With with with a girl from Cameroon and a man from Kenya. This is just to show us. This is a International Network a Pan-African I can say Network, which is very important to me personally. I believe to Pan-Africanism I have I think that as say the president of Ghana Kwame Krumah is a Africa must unite and And he's here. This is in the night a tracking of a mosquito vectors because you know We got all the complete equipment with with a set to go in the in the countryside We've with everything to to protect yourself against mosquito and to make it to make a tracking of of these mosquitoes So this was the water Raman spectrum Which was taken in Kenya and it was published by by Michael soon Swanberg and and Obama During the Kenya workshop, you know This is the laser shining from the from from the telescope and the different end and we took water from the river in Nairobi and also From the tape and from different places to to make a comparison between the different spectrum Now here. This is a field experiment in in Senegal in Dhaka This is a in the in the university stadium during the rainy season measurement done by by and as a student with with with a telescope I will show some of the results that we have obtained also from that Okay, the instrumentation. Okay, I will I will bring all of them. Okay, as you see that it is almost the same component We have we have a telescope We have ocean optics. We have a laser. We have a camera and we have a we have a detector And this is the data acquisition system The instrumentation we have used this is the diode lasers at different wavelengths and the power was up to 1 milliwatt I think these lasers they cost maximum hundred dollar in China So one watt lasers. This is why in working with this instrument. We have to be very careful each group have a Goggle to to to to be extremely careful and in my lab. I was always Afraid when my students are going outside with the system and I tell them you have to be careful I don't want somebody to complain after that We use a laser to hurt him and and also we have to do it in the place where there is no no plane coming You know in in our university. Sometimes there is there is a plane fly and fly Over the university and and they do it in the night and we can we do our experiment also in the night So we have to be very careful also for that so this is a This is a system with with a different filter that That you can use for that long pass filter and all the equipment also was bought in China By by by soon so I'm there So I think that you're staying China is very very good for us Catherine Okay, now I am going to show the principle of of of a measurement So we we we the first measurement we have done it is a passive passive instrumentation using just sunlight so for that you you have these these black box here if if a fly is is a flying and Across these these black these black box you have a sound coming and and You send to the to the telescope the it is sent to the telescope the big telescope and after that it goes to the spectrum to the to the to the ocean optic spectrometers and And after you know in your computer so there is The other part of the signal is coming to the to the small telescope and to the data acquisition system This is this is the the the principle of this Field measurement, okay, and this is the reflectance spectrum that you you can get and and this is Done by by by by Silla and and that and it is published in the african review of physics Which is published here in trius. This is the Fourier transform of a of a time varying signal You you have to do that in order to know the frequency Because you have to measure the frequency and after I will say why it is important to to measure the frequency because the the mass of the of the of the insect is related to the to the to the frequency and if As far as mosquito are concerned or as a small insect It is important to know the mass to make a differentiation between male and female and and you know the The mosquito female is the one who is extremely dangerous because it is the one who is a Transmitting the malaria Parasite The the the Plasmodium falsifalum So this is why it is it is important if you make a tracking to know what what is going on So this is also the Fourier transform of a time varying signal to to determine the to determine the frequency Here it is this was done directly in the garden of of our Institute With a better play and and a dragonfly So and with the estimation of the of the mass This is the formula for the mass Which is from from these from these references That you can see in the bottom, okay now this is the the last part of of my talk concerning the the celebration of the international year of light by the land network and also by the asfin network it is a It is a network for spectral imaging and and these These workshops was sponsored by ICTP by by a you pop by ISP International science program by our university and and a part by the government of Senegal and we do it in the resource a little bit 80 80 Kilometer from Dakar And we we we have a participation also of of Vengu at these workshop So this is a the different System for this horizontal Microscopy no we are doing almost we are going to do almost the same But we want to to start to do some experiment on optical tracer with with these with this system This is a student working in the in the green with a green lasers and and you can see here The girl is from Mali The boy one of the boy is from from Ghana I think the other one is from from Kenya and and this is a in the in the blue configuration in the blue laser Configuration, so we have also of course a participation of of of female This is one of my students and the the two other are from Mali and from Ghana And and this is in the in the red Configuration, so what we want to do in in Senegal with this project is to to make a characterization of Tissue and this characterization of of of tissue It could be a healthy tissue cancer tissue. It could be also food product So there is a lot of application of these horizontal Microscopy and you can use different laser configuration to do what what you have you want you want to do Okay, this is a this is all and I Want to to to acknowledge The abdu salam International Center for theoretical physics the international program in physical science and International science program at Uppsala University for their support and scientific collaboration and My special thank to soon and Katrina so under for their support collaboration and friendship to NIME LA and all the staff of ICTP for their collaboration for many many years and Also their support and understanding. I think we'll continue to to work with all these organization ISP ICTP Oh, yeah, but we have to take the the African government also even even if some time in Africa It is very difficult to do to do research But the government that are supporting if you are if you are Doing workshop if you are trying to to bring international people because there are proud to say okay in Senegal We have international meeting people coming from okay from from Zimbabwe from from South Africa from Sweden And so they're happy to say that Okay, or in Ghana also we made a lot of conference in Ghana with the support of a of a government This is why I say African governmental authority and university authority also where we have organized our our different activity and I want also to to thanks my my colleague from the lab network Professor Bashoi, Professor Gassmi, Professor Moral, Professor Jojo Igan who have done a lot for the development of optical science in Africa and at the least not Last but not least I want to thank all my students for their inestimable contribution So this is to acknowledge the different institution ICTP This is Uppsala University through the ISP program the the lab network the International Atomic Energy and the University second job of Dakar Thank you


This is a supine cadver. I am demonstrating from the right side the camera person is on the left side This structure that we see in front of us This is the inferior vena keba and this structure is the arrow The other as we know is to the left of the inferior vena keba. Let's take a look at the extent of the order This is the aortic hiatus where my instrument is pointing right now This is at the level of T12 and the order divides into the two common idea gotries at the level of l4 So T12 to l4 is the extent of the order now Let's take a look at the branches of the order the branches are divided into what I was the vascular plane concept What is this vascular plane concept? We have three unpaired visceral branches. This is the first one This is the celiac trunk, which is coming out the level of T12 the next one. This is the superior mass intrigue Coming out the level of l1 and This is the inferior mass intrigue at the level of a3. So these are three unpaired visceral branches The celiac trunk supplies the foregut Supermass intrigue supplies the midgut and the inferior mass intrigue supplies the hindgut The inferior mass intrigue continues into the pelvis as the superior rectal artery and we can see that and it supplies the rectum The next set of branches are the paired visceral branches. The first set of branches are this This one here, which I have lifted up and this one These are the renal arteries in this particular cadaver There are not one but two separate distinct renal arteries coming from the outer The first set are the ones which I lifted up just now They are supposed to come out at the level of approximately the level of l1 But in this particular cadaver we see yet one more artery coming from the outer on this side as well as on this side And they are coming separately and they're entering into the kidney on both the sides So that is the first set of paired visceral branches. The next set of paired visceral branches are this one here This is the left testicular artery And this is the right testicular artery, which comes out at the level of approximately l2 The next paired visceral branch we can see only on the right side this one here, which I have lifted up This is the right supra renal artery. We do not see the left supra renal artery The supra renal glands as we know receives branches from many sources One of them is from the aorta and that is what we see here So these are the paired visceral branches. The next set of branches are the paired parietal branches The first set of paired parietal branches are the inferior phrenic arteries Which we cannot see because we have to remove the fascia and the liver The next set is the subcostal artery which goes below the 12th rib That also we cannot see this dissection What we can see are the four lumbar arteries to see that Let me push the aorta here and we can see the branches coming from the aorta These are the lumbar arteries on the right side and when I pull on this side, we can see branches going on this side also So these are the lumbar arteries and they are the ones we supply the posterior terminal wall So these are the paired parietal branches Now let me mention some clinical correlations pertaining to the aorta One of the important clinical correlation is aneurysm of the abdominal aorta Which is usually a result of atherosclerotic damage to the tunica media The aneurysm, if it does occur, it occurs usually between the origin of the renal artery and the bifurcation of the aorta into the two common iliacs So this is the location of the aneurysm of the abdominal aorta In which case the inferior eccentric artery arises from the apex of the aneurysm When a patient has an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta, it produces an expand-style pulsation Sometimes which can be not only fed but can also be seen on the anterior terminal wall, especially if the person is thin If an aneurysm has seen by ultrasound, if the diameter of the aneurysm is more than six centimeters It is more likely to rupture, so therefore we have to treat it before it ruptures Because after rupture, mortality rate increases exponentially In a thin person, we can normally feel the pulsation of the abdominal aorta at this level Where my finger is located, we can feel it against the L4 lumbar vertebra Where the lumbar vertebra forms a normal lortotic curve In elderly person or as the age advances, there can be calcification of the tunica media And we can feel an axial crackling, which we can feel, and we can feel a little bit here also That is known as Monkeberg's medial calcific sclerosis This is a planing strip of the abdomen to show Monkeberg's medial calcific sclerosis of the abdominal aorta and the iliacs Superbocentric artery, as it crosses over the left renal vein, it can compress the left renal vein And also in a male, the left gonadal testicular vein and produce what is known as the left renal vein Entrapments in Rome and left testicular varicose Let me mention some clinical applications of the abdominal aorta The applications pertain to autogram and angiogram The usual route for angiogram is the femoral artery The cannula is inserted through the femoral artery, it goes through the external iliac arteries Goes to the common iliac artery and then it enters into the aorta And after that, under a C-arm, an immediate intensive fire, we can cannulate either the inferior mesentric artery The superior mesentric artery, the celiac trunk and get the respective angiograms This is a selective celiac artery angiogram And this is a superior mesentric angiogram to show the distribution of the vessels We can cannulate the renal arteries and we can get the renal angiogram This is a selective renal artery angiogram to show the segmental renal arteries And not only that, we can continue the cannulation and we can do even coronary angiograms This is a left coronary angiogram to show the left anterior descending and the left circumflex And this is an RCA angiogram to show the right coronary artery So this is a very useful application of the aorta and its angiograms


Hey guys welcome to SSUniTek Sushil this side and this is continuation of Power BI scenarios. So today we are going to discuss one more real time scenario and where we will see about the DAX formula. So how we can achieve the output by using the DAX formula. So basically here as you can see we are having input table that would have dealer then the year and then the value. So we are having these three columns. And in the output you can see we are expecting to first column that should be the row which will be containing the years. After that you can see the dealers in the columns like Arihan, CBS, Genpak, SSU and the total value of that. And here you can see the sales then the last year sales then the percentage growth. So here we are having the catch like we need to create these three majors those will be going to calculate. First is the sales of that particular selected year like 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020. And in the last year sales for example if we are having in the second row that is 2018 so it should have the sales for the 2017 as you can see it is 5400. After that you can see going forward we are having the value for previous years. Then the percentage growth as you can see in 2018 the sale is 510 and previous year sale is 5400. So it is very high so you can see it is going to decreased by 90% approximate. So if we are having the negative value then the background color that should be red and if we are having the positive value then we should have the green background color. So how we can achieve this output? So first of all we need to notice we need to create three majors for the sales last year sales and percentage growth. So go to on the trending one and try to create this. So before going to create those majors go to on the data and quick look of the data. So here you can see first is the year then the values then the dealers. So we are having only these three required columns. Let me add a first measure that will be going to sum of the value which is the total sale. So let me call this measure as sales and it should be sum of sales value. Let me close the bracket and put enter. So now we have created first measure go to on the report view and let me add a matrix. So here this is the matrix and in the rows we want to see the year. So we can drag and drop the year on the rows and in the columns we want to see the dealer. So we can drag and drop that. Here you can notice it is having the hierarchy but we want to see the exact year. So we can select that. Now we have configured the rows and columns in the values we have created the first one that is the sale. We can drag and drop that over here. So here we are having all these sales but second column inside these dealers the last year sale. So how we can calculate the last year sale. So let me add a new measure. So we can click on the new measure and let me call this as last year sales. Here we need to use the calculate function after that you can see the expression. So in the expression we want to see the what we have calculated in the measure that is sales. So we can directly use that measure then put comma here we need to use the date add function. So here we are having the date add after that it is asking for the date. So we are having year column as date then put comma here it is asking the interval. So that should be minus one because we are calculating for the previous year. Then we want to subtract year or we can close the bracket and we can put the enter. So it should be the last year sale. Now let me try to drag and drop this last year sale in the values and we will see. So here it is working as we are expecting for the last year. The last thing that we need to take care for the percentage growth. So the third measure that should be percentage growth. Let me click on this and add a new measure. Let me call this as percentage growth. So it should be percentage growth. So here what will be the percentage growth of this. So that will be sales minus last year sale after that we can close the bracket and here we can close the bracket and it should be multiplied with the 100 and should be divide with the last year sale after that put enter. So it should be the percentage growth. So let me try to drag and drop this percentage growth in the values as well. So here you can see it is going to define values like this. But here you can notice we are having the infinity value because here this value is blank. So what we need to take care about on the growth again. So here we need to check about this last year sales. If the value of this last year sale is equals to zero then we want to see zero. Otherwise we need to do this calculation. Let me put enter. So here it should be zero and other values are as we are expecting. Now go to on the format of this and here go to on the style of this and let me try to make it bold header like this. After that here you can see the conditional formatting. So inside the conditional formatting go to on the background color of this go to on the advanced controls and inside the advanced control we can make the change on these. So here first of all let me cancel this let me off this here we need to select the column so our column is percentage growth. Now click on background color and go to on the advanced control. So here we can see we are having the rules so go to on the rules in the format by and here if this value is greater than about this and instead of a percentage it should be number and less than or equals to zero then we want to display this as a red. Add a new rule and this time it should be greater than or equals to one instead of percentage it should be number and less than we can define a last number. That should be green so go to on the custom color and here let me use like this. So it is the green color now we can click on. So here it is going to change according to our requirement but here the font color that should be white of these.  So this looks good but here in the first row as you can see the year so it is having the Sunday then the date and year both but we want to see the year only. So how we can make this change go to on the data view select that column go to on the format and we want to see the year only. So we can select the year and it is going to change now go to on the report view and here you can see the year only like 2017, 18, 19 and 20. One more thing like go to on the data so let me roll back this. Here it is going to calculate the data for the last one year. For example today is the first so it is going to have the data for previous year first date like first of the Jan 2016 for the first row. So if you could have any scenario like this so I would request to you please create one more column on the date and that will be always hard code first of Jan and year you need to pick from this column. So all those calculations will be done on that newly created column and you can make the changes as we did in this video. And if you have any doubt then you can reach out to us and you can drop your questions on the comment box so I will try to response on your questions. Thank you so much. See you in the next video with new scenario.
