beautiful views here from my balcony it was amazing waking up this morning to see this I actually leave my balcony doors open overnight so Nala can go out whenever she likes and of course there's no way that anyone's getting in here it's very safe all right so this is definitely a question that a lot of people have they want to know is the narcissist doing better without them and this is actually very simple you've got to look at it like everything you saw from them everything you experienced that was them that was what they had to offer you dealt with them already you experienced what they had and you experienced abuse manipulation lies cheating stealing that's what they had to offer you so that's what you received and I'd like you all right now to take a moment to remind yourself of that tell yourself in your mind maybe your narcissist's name was Richard so tell yourself in your mind I had the Richard experience I experienced Richard because that is what Richard had to offer to me and it's really as simple as that you experience them you experience what they had to offer to you so there's no way that they're gonna move on and give a different experience to someone else that is not gonna happen but of course it may look like that is happening sometimes it may look like they're doing a lot better without you and you may watch this and think oh my situation must be different to what narc survivor is speaking about but actually it's no different at all because you just need to remember back when you first met the narcissist and what they portrayed to you and how they love bombed you you need to remember that and how it was all a lie it was fake you were deceived I mean if you knew everything that they were about to do to you if you knew how they were going to treat you you never would have got involved with them in the first place they only managed to get into your circle your life because they gave you a set of appearance a false impression of who they actually are so they tricked you and when they move on they're just doing the same thing to someone else they're tricking them to but it serves two purposes because not only are they tricking them but they're tricking you again and this may have been the case with the person they were with before you not only were they tricking you but they were tricking their ex they were making their ex believe that they had moved on with someone else and now they're so much happier without them they're just doing the same thing again and never ends it's a cycle and it's the only thing they know how to do and in some ways you shouldn't even blame them when they move on when they act like they don't care about you when they act like they've moved on to someone else and they're doing so much better without you you shouldn't even blame them for that because the way you got to look at it like of course they're gonna do that what else are they gonna do what else can they do they have no other option other than to do that you just got to see it as though they're just doing all they know how to do because that's really what it is it's like when you see a cat trying to chase a mouse and kill it might make you hate the cat but that's just what the cat is biologically programmed to do same thing with these dogs and it's quite sad when you think about it when you look at things from this perspective you will actually start to pity them so sad because they never change and I look at myself a few months ago a few years ago and I can't believe the amount of changes that I have made in my life how much I have improved as a man and you can look back at my past videos and you can see my evolution you can see how much I have grown I'm so much stronger and more confident now everything that I have been through it's made the man that you see today and it wasn't just positive things I went through a lot of difficult things too and while those things may have broken me down in the moment I got back up and became stronger than ever before everything I go through it makes me stronger but with these narcissists not only does everything make them weaker but it makes them even more manipulative and deceptive to where they hide who they really are even more they learn more about how they can manipulate you from their past targets so they don't get better they get more manipulative they get better at giving you the force of period of them doing better that's all that is it's all a game it's all a trick and yeah any time you start to have doubts any time you start to think that maybe you got them wrong maybe they are doing better without you just remember everything you went through with them remember everything they did remember how it affected you and your life remember how it affected your emotional physical and mental health remember how it affected you financially it didn't improve your life it made your life worse and tell yourself whatever your narcissist name is if your narcissist name is Richard you can say yeah I had the Richard experience I experience Richard I experience what Richard had to offer to me tell yourself that remind yourself because it is important it brings you back to reality instead of getting too involved in their fantasy world with all of these crazy illusions which make no sense of reality because your scratching your head thinking hold on a minute when you were with me you didn't do any of that you caused me all of these problems you destroyed my life sometimes you just got to come back to reality and look at things as how they actually are because deep down you know you know exactly what you have dealt with you do you know how it's affected you I mean many of you you're going through it right now you're struggling mentally emotionally financially and there's a reason for that because you weren't going through that before you met them you were doing fine that's why they targeted you because you were doing good and then they left once they destroyed you that's what they always do so yeah just remember that there isn't this whole of the side to their personality what they had to offer you got of course they'd love you to believe that there's so much more but there isn't the only thing that you may not have seen is more manipulation that they've learned from dealing with you all this new person that they're involved with and is that what you want more manipulation more lies more future faking I don't know about you but I don't want that in my life just got to show this view again it's really incredible this has to be one of the top views I've seen in my life got the city there the sea it's bright green and all of these islands here it's just incredible I think this may be some kind

All right, let's check this out here. The plate is in full. There's no sound. Sit down. All right, the first thing I would say, I'd be careful in terms of your reference. Just quickly bring that in here because you are using wheels and it's a different kind of sit down. To me, it's always helpful to film reference where it's really matching what you are acting out. So the couple of things here, the chair is static and also seems higher than what you sat on. So basically when the character sits, it's not really sitting down like this. It's kind of leaning on something. So personally, what I would do is I would either decide that that's the chair you want to use in a film reference where it's a chair without wheels or you switch this to a chair with wheels and you can use your reference but also kind of match the height. So it doesn't feel like it's a smaller kid jump you can top with that. Just because, and this is fun. I like this. I like you can have a tall chair and a kid and can act something out like that. But it just right now the reference isn't quite as useful as it could be to put it this way. I'd also be careful with something that's this long. It's a bit like your walk is a bit stiff. There's some poppy aspects but the main thing is that the feet are sliding. What I would do is personally, I would go maybe from here on. So you can take a step forward, turn and then sit down and just focus on that. And if you're okay with all that, it's all works. You can always go backwards and add more to it. Because right now it's just, again, it's a bit choppy. It's kind of like a, if you look at the spacing of things where even this like you ruckus forward but then kind of locks in place for that pivot and then suddenly moves forward again. And then it's kind of okay but then it has a very sharp drop. So the main things that you want to look at the timing and spacing for that, for to sit down like it is enough weight because the chair is so high, there won't be as much time. So for me, a sit down assignment is good in terms of, that's the chair that's the ground and character is like this, like there's enough time or distance for the character to actually sit down. Whereas if we have the character and then it starts to lean over is that there's enough time for the character to actually drop where it's slightly off balance and then dropping on the chair to show weight which is a bit trickier here and there's different mechanics with all this. But the main thing would be avoiding things where you have spacing like this, where it goes down and it kind of slides forward like the whole character and then goes back up and then really pops to the left. So I think the reason why I want to, or I suggest that you simplify this from this to just to sit down is to really work on the planting of the feet. There's no sliding, but also proper spacing so we can get to see the weight and kind of the weight transfer and the balance of this character. Because right now it feels like everything is very jittery. Even once the character is on there, you can see how all that movement there, I don't know if that's kind of like a wiggling on purpose, character getting kind of comfortable on the chair. So again, that's not quite what the reference is doing. So I'm just kind of, I'm also slightly confused like which direction you want to go with. Something like that or what you filmed in the reference. Other than that, I'm going to leave it at that because I feel like it's going to be a bigger change. So let me know what you think. Again, I would suggest something shorter to get all the proper mechanics done, but then really deciding in your reference, is this what you want to do or are you going to animate towards the reference that you filmed? Because it's fun to do a chair with wheels and sitting down and rolling. This is all very cool. Just kind of depends on what you want to do. I would check for a clear direction on your end and then go from there. But the main thing to me is that, in this case, sliding feet, it's always a big thing when a character is walking. But just simplify things so we can take a bigger, better look at your spacing and avoid things like these. Like the sliding aspect and just kind of poppy animation like this here. Okay, hope that makes sense. I'm going to leave it there. Let me know. We can always kind of go back and forth with emails in terms of planning so we don't have to go into full submissions. But that's that, all right? Thanks. All right, there's an email. You can sign up. You can start whenever you want. You can submit whatever you want. You get 16 submissions. Either way, a like and subscribe would be awesome. All right, thank you.


The challenge of the Yukon. On King! On you Huskies! The Wonder Dog King, Swiss and Strangely Dogs blazed the trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston as he meets the challenge of the Yukon. Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of Northwest Monty Police who preserved law and order in the new Northwest country where the greed for wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his Wonder Dog King met that challenge and justice rolled triumphant. The Gold Star Bar was the gayest spot in White Horse. At a corner table in the smoke-filled noisy room, a bearded man looked up as Molly, one of the cafe entertainers, slipped into a chair beside him. How did you get here? Quiet. That's a loud. I escaped. Then I'm a way up here for weeks. Thought I'd find you here. Are they... are they after you? What do you think? But that big prisoner, I don't see how you got out. Two of us made the break. They got Pierce. I got away. But what are you going to do? I'm heading north tomorrow and you're coming with me. You got money, ain't you? Yes, some, but where can we go? We'll go to Selkirk, then head west and get across the border into Alaska. You got enough money to buy a dog team? No, no, not that much. Anyway, we couldn't buy one here. People are talking. I guess you're right. We'll have to carry packs. Think you're strong enough? Oh, I've waited over a year for you. I thought I'd have to wait ten. I'll make it, Pete, somehow. Nobody knows we're married, so the law won't be watching you. Can I hide out in your room tonight? Sure. Sure you can, Pete. And tomorrow I'll buy the supplies. We can leave tomorrow night. Inspector Grayson at the Northwest Mounted Police Headquarters in Dawson looked very serious as he talked to Sergeant Preston. King, the sergeant's huge hussy dog lay at the Mounties' feet. Pete Hill is a killer, Sergeant. He killed a prison guard and, as you know, carpal green of the Northwest Mounted. He sees you first.  He threatened me, then, but they all do that. A man answering his description was seen heading north from British Columbia. I don't know why he'd be coming up here again, but keep your eyes open for him. I'll do that, sir. I'm leaving for Selkirk in the morning. I'll go on a white horse from there. Pete, I'm tired. Let's make camp now. You can't stop now. If we keep walking, we'll get far enough today to make Selkirk by tomorrow night. But this pack is so heavy. I don't know why I've bothered with you anyway. I could have made twice as good time by myself. Pete, I keep wondering, why are you coming way up here anyway? We could have cut straight west, I should think. Because I wanted to come up here. Before I go across the border, I got a score to settle. A score to settle? What do you mean? You might as well know now as later. I'm hoping to run into a certain Mountie up here, Sergeant Preston. But Pete, he'll arrest you. He'll take you back to prison. No, he will not this time. Because I'm getting even for every minute I spent in that jail.  You can't. All right, I'm letting in on it then.  Just after I got out, he tried to get me and I let him have it. You...  Oh, Pete... He wasn't the first one.  Molly, what's wrong? Oh, Pete. Now, wait. I'll loosen your boot for you. Wait a minute. Can you move it at all? Yes, sir. I have all the rotten luck. Now what do we do? We're almost out of supplies. Here we are stuck out here in the wilderness. I'm sorry, Pete. We'll have to make camp now, I suppose. I'll carry you back off the trail. Maybe you'll be able to walk on it tomorrow. How do you feel, Molly? Your foot better? I hurt all last night. I'm afraid I can't walk. Come on, step on it hard.  No, Pete, I... What do we do? We can't sit here and starve for your foot, Spinner? Maybe you could go to Selkirk and get help. Yeah.  You will come back. You wouldn't just leave me here. Sure I'd come back. What do you take me for? Would you get along all right? Well, if you'd cut enough wood and leave it where I could reach it, leave enough food. And take a day or two, you'd probably be scared. Well, there's nothing else we can do. You better start. There isn't much daylight this time of year. Yeah. Yeah, I better get going. Darkness had fallen, but Sergeant Preston continued on his way along the trail from Selkirk to Whitehorse. Suddenly, his lead dog, King, stopped on the head. Whoa! Hurry up, Huskies! What is it, boy? What's the matter? Oh, there are only timber walls, Spinner. I wonder if you can hear something I can't. All right, King, go ahead, boy. Play with it. Molly crouched in the small shelter of bows that Pete had made for her.  The fire was also reflected in two pairs of eyes that shone like fiery coals from the thickets nearby. With a hand that shook with fear, Molly put the last piece of wood on the dying fire.  The huge form of the wolf stopped for a moment, its body black against the snow, its eyes gleaming. Then again, it started forward. Molly covered her face with her arms as she saw it crotch for the spring. But at that moment, another gray form springed from the darkness and rolled in a sterling heap with a huge wolf. Don't worry about him. My dog's finished him. The other one's gone. I shot at it. Your dog saved me. It was ready to spring at me. Good work, King. Well, I'd say, boy, you hurt much. A couple of nasty slashes, didn't you, fella? Oh, yes, he hurt. Oh, he'll be all right in a few days. How do you happen to be out here all alone? I sprained my ankle. I broke it. My husband had to leave me here. He went to Selkirk for help. Something must have happened to him. You mean he didn't come back when he said he would? No. I've been here a long time. He should have been back. I had no more water or food. Was your ankle any better? I couldn't walk on it. I couldn't get more wood. I'll get my sled and take you to Jed Raymond's cabin. That's where I was headed when King stopped on the trail. He must have heard you. I owe my life to that dog when I think what might have happened if he hadn't come. Don't think about it. We better get to Jed's cabin as soon as we can. It's good to be warm again. How's your ankle feel? I can walk since you bandaged it. It doesn't look as if Jed will be back. I swear we're running low. Will he be gone long? Well, not very. I don't wonder that you're nervous after the experience you've had. But don't worry. I'll leave King with you. You'll feel safe enough then. Oh, yes. If King is here, I won't be afraid. Well, I'll get going. No, you stay here, fella. I won't be away long. I think you'll be able to walk on that foot now. Come here, King. He'll be back soon. Lie down here beside me, fella. How did you get here? Quiet, King. I heard in Selkirk that Preston was headed this way. That's why I came back to get him. So you didn't intend to come back for me? That's why you were away so long? No, Molly, I didn't mean that. The only reason you wanted me was because I had the money for the supplies. You were going to keep it and then go on without me. Quit, yeah, but I ain't got time to argue with you. And that dog don't seem to like me. Make him lie down on the corner. King. King, good boy. Lie down, Phelps. Pete, what are you going to do? I don't like that dog.  No, Pete, I won't let you... Get away! Get away! Stop him! He's got my hand! Take him off! I've got your gun, Pete.   Watch him, King. You lost mine? Sit down in that chair, Pete, and don't move. Jumping me just when I was going to shoot.   Maybe I just wanted to return the favor. But Molly, I'm your husband. Give me that gun before that money comes back.  It's a question of him or me, ain't it? Molly, I come back, didn't I? I trailed to this cabin. When I saw him leave, I came in to see if you were here. You came in because you knew it would be easier to kill him inside. He wouldn't suspect it. Listen, honey, give me the gun and I'll go. You've always been on my side. You've always been crazy about me. You can't let me be taken by the law now. Give me the gun.  They were after me, I tell you, for self-defense. Molly, you know I always loved you. You can't do this to me. I'm your husband.  You left me. You weren't coming back at all. You'd better kill Preston. That's not true. It ain't true. I come back to get you. When you weren't there, I trailed you. That's not what you said first. I was excited. I didn't know what I was saying. Give me the gun, honey. I'll go. I'll meet you in Stuckirk. We'll get across the border and start all over.  Please, Molly. I wish I could believe you. They'll hang me, Molly. It'll be your fault.  No, no. Pete, stop it. Give me the gun, honey. Everything will be all right. I'll meet you in Stuckirk at the Golden Horseshoe. Hurry, Molly. Before it's too late.  Sure, I promise. Sure. Come on. Give me the gun. I don't trust you, Pete. But I can't see you hanged. I'm going to let the dog out first so you can't kill him. Then I'll give you the gun and you can go. All right, Molly. Anything you say, but hurry. Come on, King. Get Preston, boy. All right, King. Go out. Go to Preston. Now, give me the gun, Molly. I don't think I should. I can't go out through the woods unarmed. Give it to me. All right. Here. Now go. I'll meet you in Stuckirk. Now get back in that corner. Get back, I said. Yeah, I'll let you have it. You lied to me. You aren't going. I told you I was going to get Preston, didn't I? Well, I'm getting him. Why did I ever believe you?  You didn't come back for me at all. No, maybe I didn't. But I'm drilling that mounting when he comes through the door. If you squawk, you'll get it right afterwards. Pete, quiet. Listen. He's coming. Not a sound out of you.  Get him, Pete. Hold him. Watch him. Where's the candle? There's one on the shelf. Let me up. Take this dog away. There we are. Are you hurt? The bullet just grazed my shoulder. All right, King, back, fella. Where's Pete Hill? Get up, you. Take this dog away. Thanks, Molly, for breaking that lamp.   Let it go, Pete. You're under arrest. I haven't had a minute for that dog. You've never got me. Never in a million years. Both of us. Pete would have killed me, too. Thanks, old fella. You've done a real job tonight. These copyrighty dramas originate in the studios of WXY Z Detroit.

I happen to have a video camera, and so I never thought that I would put it on TV. But it's sort of... How was it seeing your first thing on public, on television? I mean, at home? Then? Then or now? No. Now it's embarrassing. Why is it embarrassing? Well, because the quality was pretty poor.  And every time I turn on 17, and this is not just because I work here, but every time I turn on 17 for 10 minutes, I learn something about what's happening in my community. That you would not really... That I would not have gotten otherwise. I like to watch the City Council meetings, and see, yeah, I guess just the City Council meetings. I like a lot of the late-night shows, and a lot of the public people in the area get to voice their opinions on things. I think that's very valuable, and most of the other stations won't do that. I do, and I love it. I really do. The meetings I don't get to, I can go and watch them on Channel 17. 180,000 people in Florida whose votes are not counted, constitutes about 60% of the people in the state of Vermont, in fact, cast votes. And I think that that process and that result is outrageous, and is unacceptable, and is insult to the Democratic process. In 1777, I teamed with Sir Hillary Clinton. No, that was Henry Clinton. I'm sorry of New York City, and we formed with the British, and had treason against the Revolution. We don't live in a parliamentary system, but it is only natural to expect that people like myself, who have been honored with positions of leadership, will largely support the President's agenda. And yet, more and more, I find I cannot. In order to best represent my state of Vermont, my own conscience and principles I have stood for my whole life, I will leave the Republican Party and become an independent. Control of the Senate. I have respected and admired Senator Jeffords for a long time, and he's been a good friend to me, and I believe he's doing what is true to his conscience. And I understand it, understand what has happened. I probably don't understand completely what happens in Congress, but he is being left behind, in a sense, by the Republican Party, and that's too bad. If we need to have room for the moderates and the liberals in our party, and that's why I'm sorry to see him leaving. Tragedy struck us in the United States today, and the enormous impact of it is, I'm sure, yet to be felt. Just to put things in perspective, there are, as I understand it, about 50,000 people work in the World Trade Center Towers. In Burlington, there's about 40,000 residents, and so there are more people that work there than there are that live here in Burlington. And I think for people who live here in Burlington, my guess is a lot of people here are going to know people who were affected by this. We're going to see it. I think a lot of people are Burlington residents who have family and friends who are most likely to be victims of what happened today. Lots of people were more surprised that we were attacked, and that people actually were able to get into the plane and attack us. But what we should be more surprised about was that it actually took this long. There are blood drives going on. We'll have a number of people who want to donate blood. We do envision sending some nurses and doctors either to New York or Washington. We do have flight capacity to help in the New York and Washington area with the National Guard, which will be doing that under the auspices of the federal government, not under my auspices. You have about a minute. Oh, boy. My name is Laura Main Street. Some people call me Nick Shieldrop with 57 Main Street. But you can call me Laura Main Street. I spend a lot of time cleaning up the green belts down there on Laura Main Street. I'm Mary Fillmar, also from Burlington. And I would like us to consider the possibility that as grave as this situation is, it is being used to distract us from a lot of other very serious matters that are being pushed at the same time, particularly in terms of the violations of civil liberties. We have already had roundups, and I'm sure that you could comment on this. We've already had roundups of citizens simply because they're from the Middle East. Most of us in this room don't happen to be among the people who are directly being attacked in that way. It doesn't mean that it isn't of equal concern to us. Seven trillion dollars of our country's wealth has disappeared. Nearly one in ten retired people have had to return to the workforce because they've lost their pensions. Young people returning home to live with their parents after graduation because they can't find a job. Companies leaving the country to avoid paying taxes or avoid paying people livable wage, and corporations doing this with the support of our own government will process in Washington that they rent if not own. This is a major event all of our lives. Some of the older soldiers, now this could be a community event in their careers, but chance to finally put things through. You'll use some of these things we've practiced for years and years. For some of you younger soldiers, you might not believe it, but it's going to be a defining experience in your lives, and it's going to be a great, great experience. Bob, what can I do for you? This is John. And my friends said, well, well, Senator, I'm having this little problem. Well, Bob, don't you worry about it. We're going to take care of that. We support John McCain. On Tuesday, I need it. I want it. I want to win in Vermont, and I would be very honored by your support. I think all of us feel cynical about politics sometimes. It seems like it's a business instead of a mission. And yet, when you look at the two men standing beside me, it's an indication, in fact, that things can change, that we can overcome that cynicism. That's what this election is going to be about, and that's why I want to make sure that everybody is as enthusiastic as I am about making sure that these guys end up in Washington where they can keep on stirring up some trouble. So, Steve, tell us about your bicycle. Well, it's a project that I actually thought up about 30 years ago. I started working on it about four years ago after thinking some more and building a model that I said, yes, this could work. So, then I built a working model using a conventional bicycle frame and just welding a few parts on it. Yeah, the students from the Department of Community Development and Applied Economics they are brought here by their professors, and then I lecture them. I love being in the community, and I know it's not only selling food, but also getting to know the people around. Oh, my name is Lucy Kimuña. I just came to come and buy the calling cards to call my mom in Kenya. I come from Nairobi, Kenya. Hi, I'm here with, I'm Henry, and I'm here with Felipe and Paul, and I'm going to start by asking them some questions. So, Felipe, can you tell us about what your favorite food is? Cereal. Cereal? What type of cereal do you like? I don't know. How many believers do we have? How many? Maybe. And I remember you. Cigarette butts are trash, too. Through example. The people of Essex Junction have voted twice to be a city, one solid vote against consolidation, and that's because they like what they have. They want to keep it that way. We want to go into this century and control our own destiny. So, I ask you to follow the statute and let us be that city and go forward. I think in a couple of years, the whole community will be better off for this endeavor. Thank you very much. You know, my friend, you have touched millions of people's lives. You have made their lives better, and you have given them hope. They'll never know who you are. All they'll know is that they have a chance in life. Their lives are better because of you and because you care and because you are really the nameless person to them. That's one of the reasons why I love you, my friend. You know, the truth of it is that that is true. It got late, not me. And when I go home and get back to playing rock and roll with my band in my day job, he stays the course, and he's the one that fights for the legislation that really changes lives. OSHA was passed 38 years ago, and it was in that spirit on April 28th that the Canadian government actually officially declared a workers' morning day in Canada. And that's the only government that has officially declared the national government that has declared a day. But across this country, 26 states have memorials and many communities and states recognize this day as a workers' memorial day to recognize the death on the job, injury on the job, illness on the job, and a commitment to having a safe workplace.  That job's available. And I just looked at him, and I said, that's not what I'm interviewing. And I left. Well, apparently that was the right answer because that afternoon I got a phone call, and Mrs. Westcott apparently had said to him, you know, I like that woman. I like the fact that she came in here and she was resolute with what she wanted to do. Hello, this is Gaye Simington. I'm Speaker of the House in the Vermont legislature, and this is a weekly show that we have put together using cable access channels to help Vermonters understand some of the discussions we're having in the state house. And this week, I thought we would talk about money. I have been happily married for 10 years. I have two wonderful children. I love and value the institution of marriage. And I look forward to welcoming everyone into that institution because we should all be able to share it. It should not only be. And there's no cars or vehicle you have to walk. Most of them die because of food, thirsty and others, wild animals, and also bandits and kill on the way. In this camp, all our kids who are in Ballington School District, up to high school kids were born in this refugee camp in Kenya. So this is where we spend almost 12 years. And there's still some others. Clickable agendas. Clickable agendas. Clickable agendas. Clickable agendas. Clickable agendas. Clickable agendas. Clickable agendas. Clickable agendas. That's right. Clickable meeting agendas. Only at Channel17.org. Bring up your local municipal meeting. Look at the agenda and pick the agenda item that is interesting to you. You don't have to watch the whole meeting. Just the item that interests you. Get involved with local government. Save time. Go to Channel17.org. Nat Eyre and Lauren Glendavidian from Channel17 and Channel 317.  And so we're no titles yet. So we're using the old style titles from the 1980s. So Lauren Glend is going to talk more about the TV part. But I wanted to give a very short fence viewing report.


Hello everyone. My name is Ambar and I'm the engineering director for observability platforms at eBay. What I'm here to present eBay's network monitoring platform called Net Vision. So what I thought we'd do today is I'll walk you through a quick background about why we needed this platform. I'll talk about what we achieved with this new platform. We'll talk about the platform, about the architecture on which it's built. And then I'll show you a quick demo of what we built. So for those who are not familiar, eBay is one of the largest online marketplaces in the world. We have a global footprint for the presence in multiple countries. As you can imagine the scale at which we operate introduces some very interest structure challenges for us. One of the biggest challenges is to make sure that our site is always available for the customers who rely on it throughout the world. So to assist with site availability, we have a centralized operations team called the Site Engineering Center. The charter of this team is to monitor the health of the eBay site and if they detect any issues or any problems, they quickly remediate using tools and tools that are available to them. As you can see from the picture below, they sit in this room with screens and monitors that are available to them on the wall and all of these screens and monitors. They display essential critical telemetry data in terms of metrics or alerts when they pop up. This centralized operations team uses a monitoring platform that is built to detect to ingest telemetry data from our entire infrastructure all the way from the data centers to the networks to the infrastructure in terms of the computes that are deployed on it, to the cloud, to the applications that are built on top of that cloud. So we get telemetry data for our entire stack. And this monitoring platform is able to detect anomalies based on either historical data or the rules that are configured within that platform. It generates the seed for this operations team. Once the operation team gets these signals, where we don't have auto remediation, this ops team can come in and quickly look at these signals determine if root cause and why these alerts are happening and then they are able to quickly remediate them. Now as you can imagine it is critical that this operations team is able to quickly pinpoint the problem when an alert shows up for them. So the picture on the right you see is a sample alert dashboard that is available to this operations team. In this case you will see load balancer connection stacking alerts that are showing up for this team. Now connection stacking is kind of a catch all bucket of alerts for us right in terms of if for whatever reason the app is misbehaving the load the connections and the load balancer side will start will start stacking. Right so there may be a variety of reasons why why an application might be might be stacking connections on the load balancer things like you know there's high GC or you know there is a high CPU spikes or there is high latency on the database queries. So there may be a variety of reasons why the load balancer while the connections might be stacked on the load balancer. Now we have other signals available to this which can help them start in rooms, but one critical thing that was missing was for them to figure out if there is a net problem that's happening. So they did not have that could indicate if there is an if there is a network problem going on and if there is very in the network the problem exists right what what top of Rack switch what bubble what pod is is impaired and what applications that are deployed on the on that particular part of our network which applications are being are being right. So the goal was to make sure that we are able to kind of answer these questions for that operations team. So with that in mind we build this new product called net vision. It's built on the concept of end to end probing to enable packet losses in the even network. So far, just for reference, Facebook, Facebook released a paper called net norad a few years ago, and that vision is kind of built on using the concepts that were published in that in that paper. So the idea behind it is that it is able to detect continuous packet loss by generating UDP traffic across our network. So this detects packet losses, it's able to utilize it's the algorithms that we built in it for for figuring out whether this packet loss can be classified as an alert and if yes then it is also able to further classify it based on severity in terms of warning minor major and critical. Net vision also has these concept of the concept of these agents that are deployed across our across our networks network infrastructure to be able to send these UDP packets out and we have automated agent health monitoring and coverage as well to ensure that we are covering our entire network. We have the presence of this of this net vision in two locations in VR ebay is deployed in three three data centers, but then we have an active active architecture with the ability to auto failover. We also have the ability to suppress and silence alerts within, within net vision. This is particularly useful when there is, say, plan maintenance happening in the network and we know that we're going to get alerts but we don't want to spam the operations team so we're able to quickly go in and silence these, so let's let's deep dive a little bit into, into the architecture right. So what you see in the, in terms of the dotted lines what you see below the dotted line this is actually the entire net vision, and then what you see on top is our even effort right so net vision has this agent and master kind of architecture. So the agents are deployed within the servers itself and then the master we, we call it shogun. That's kind of the heart of the system. So let's talk about the, the, the net vision system first and then we'll talk about how this thing and that entire thing works. So if you go from kind of left to right, we have this system called CMS, which is, which stands for configuration management system. Now it has the entire ebay topology in terms of, you know, the data center, the networks, especially for the networks, you know what devices are deployed, what are the links that exist between these devices so, so this cash this CMS in system has the entire topology already built out within it. That vision data store is a, is a configuration store that we use to for configuring these, these agents. So we have cash built out to basically make sure that we're able to quickly query this data out. This cash is refreshed four times a day. On, on top of this cash now we have the agent state manager, this is responsible for maintaining the, the state of these to make sure that these agents are always up running. If there is any problem then these agents, this agent state manager is able to remediate the problems within the agent itself. A health checker this, this company, maintain the health or to check the health of these agents, and if there is a, there is a problem then it kind of talks to the agents state manager and make sure that those, those things are immediate if there's an issue that's found. Lightning is a conference to, to publish health signals are to probe these agents to figure out if they're healthy or not. And it's also, it's also used to publish out config, config data to this to each of each of these agents. Event collector is a component within the, within the system that collects data that's coming back or collects events that's coming, those are coming back from the agents, and then it passes those on this algorithms that are, that are kind of running, that are kind of crunching the data and determining if the packet losses constitute an alert and then the severity of those alerts, which are then passed those, once it detects the alerts, those are then passed through the suppression handler, and then to the publisher from where they're published to a centralized kind of monitoring platform from where the operations team, operations team consumes those, those alerts. On top of the dotted line you see this is, this is a regular kind of network. We have servers within racks, and then on top of the racks we have this, this layer of top of rack switches. On top of that we have the bubbles on, then pods, and then we have the backbone networks. So like I was saying earlier, eBay is deployed in three regions, and then those regions are kind of connected through this, this backbone network. So let's an example of how, how this thing works well. So like I was saying earlier, we have this, we have this net vision data store that that has the configuration of what each agent needs to do. And then we also have this network CMS cache which map, which has a mapping of all these links and how these devices are connected to connected to each other. So the, the agent state manager crunches the data that's coming from this net vision data store and builds out conflicts for each one of these agents, and then the light, lightening system pushes that pushes those, those conflicts out to these agents. So these agents are now configured to start sending. So now that these agents have configuration in them to say okay, as, as a sender, and one will have destinations configured to it to say okay you need to you need to send you to be probes to multiple of these destinations. And once it receives that configuration, it starts sending these, these udp probes every, every minute that's configurable we can, we can reduce it to say every 30 seconds or so but let's just assume for now it's every, every minute. So when this agent starts up and it takes that configuration on. For example, let's just take an example where this agent that an agent is supposed to based on this configuration is supposed to send udp probes to n five, which is located right here. Right. So what it what it does is it starts sending the udp probes out. Now let's take an example where the udp probe takes the path of it goes to tor one. Right, then it goes to bubble one, then it goes to pod one, then it goes to the phoenix backbone up, then it jumps over to the, to the other data center through the backbone, then it goes to part two bubble three top of rack switch three, and then it reaches the server five, which is the intended destination. Once this agent receives that udp packet, it sends a message back or an event back to the nutrition system saying I received the packet, I was supposed to receive this packet and I received it. Now let's take another example where and one has a configuration where it needs to send in a udp packet to n seven, which is again right here. So it still takes the same path where it goes to part one bubble one part one, it goes to the backbone jumps over to the other other data center goes to part two, then goes to bubble four, or seven which is top of rack switch seven and then down into into the rack into the server seven. Now it's supposed to take this path, but for whatever reason, for example, it doesn't reach here right so server seven for that one minute cycle, did not report an event saying I received this packet that I was supposed to be received from server one from n one. Right, so I did not get this packet for example. Now, at the same time in the same cycle, for example, and three was right here is configured to send an event to n seven. Again, it starts the udp publishing a packet publishing, it goes from from n three to two or three it goes to bubble two, it goes to part one, then it goes to phoenix slc, then jumps, then it's supposed to jump over to part two, then to bubble three, then to talk three and then it's supposed to reach here right so that's the that's the path that's expected. But for that one minute cycle again, if if server five out of n five did not report an event saying I received this received the CDP packet. It means that package packet was lost somewhere in the network. Now the idea is that since there are and this is this is just three examples right but as you can imagine we have we have thousands of these these agents deployed are deployed on our network. And these every for every public cycle, they generate they generate millions and millions of events. So even though this is a very small sample set, as you can imagine if there are enough of these going. We will we know we know what what is the expected path between and seven and as for in this example between and one and and seven right so and one and and seven can can take a defined path. And we know what that path is based on this CMS data. So, when the when these packets start get start being lost, we can quickly figure out what is the common layer at which these packets are getting lost. Confidence algorithms do they look at what the data should be in terms of what is what that one should be. And then they look at which packets are getting lost. And then they start looking at what is the common common layer at which these are getting lost right so for example in this case, if you if you see if if there are many many packets that are getting lost in in kind of in this way or in this way, you'll see that the layer in which these packets are supposed a common layer that with in which these packets are supposed to go is this part too. Right so that's the that's the common one. So, most likely there is something wrong here where the pack where the pockets are starting to get are starting to drop. Right. And like I was saying, there are there are many many packets that are close to millions of packets that that we publish out every 60 seconds and then we get those millions and millions of events into the centralized system and then that's how we are able to kind of grant the data within these algorithms and figure out what these common commonalities are. So for the most part, we are we are very confident about what we about detecting the the layer at which these packets get lost. Now, again, like I was saying we are able to be able to define severity of these alerts based on how many of these packets one how many packets get lost and to how many how many of these agents are reporting packet losses. Right so for example, if only one agent is reporting consistent packet loss, it may not be a big, it may not be a major issue. But if many agents start reporting packet losses, commonly across a layer or across a device, then we definitely have a have a problem and we start. We start publishing out alerts to the to the operations team. Now, like I was saying earlier, we also have this health system where we send out these health probes to the system to make sure that the system the agents are up. And for whatever reason, if these health probes come back and as indicating that the agent is unreachable. This agent state manager goes in and either replaces the agent or makes sure that they can restart the agent. We've, we've done over over trial and over multiple trial and error. We've figured out that to maintain coverage across the entire ebay network. We need about two agents per rack right so that's kind of the coverage that we've that's kind of the sweet spot that we found in terms of making sure that we have coverage across the across our infrastructure network infrastructure and that we get enough signals to be able to detect these these packet losses. So that's that's kind of how the architecture works. This is the way we display the alerts to the operations right so this is on the like I was telling you earlier we have this site engineering center wall, and this is one of the dashboards that the alerting dashboard that kind of shows up on the on the left you'll see, we have some point of presence locations, and then data centers on which that are shown on the left panel, the red, orange, blue, sorry yellow and blue indicate the severity of the alerts that we are seeing in each one of these. On the right you'll see which exact device is alerting, and then you'll see, you know, with what's the ratio of the packet losses across these across these data centers. It'll also tell you which type of devices right so it's is it a bubble is it a access switch or a top of rocks with. The colors indicate the severity of the of the alert. The visualization and I'll show you I'll show you a demo of this as well. The concentric circles kind of from from outside to inside the outside concentric circle indicates the top of rock switches. There are so many of those ones that the inner one indicates the bubbles, then the pods, and then the innermost circle indicates the the backbone of the network right. So, so, where you see light green dots, all of those are indicate our top of rock switches and then you'll see less and less of those as you come inside because obviously you have the the number of devices on the in the bubble layer or less and then the ones in the the backbone is obviously much less. So that's this is one kind of detection dashboard that we have and then we also have this triage dashboard which once the once the operations engineer sees an alert. They're able to quickly come to this other dashboard and then drill down into it right and then then they can figure out okay which what's the actual device what's the severity. You know, look, get some more details about how many senders are reporting the problem how many how many how many senders actually send the probe. How many receivers are supposed to receive the probe but and then we have some probe loss standard deviation and percentages that we that we display. So when when you expand this you can see more detail. It's each one of these alerts, and then you also have severity and then distribution about what how many alerts are are being generated. So I'll show you a quick demo of how this thing actually works on the wall right so let me refresh the screen. So again this is a demo this is not a live product. As you as I was telling you earlier, this is how the dashboard kind of looks like on the wall. Tars pods or Tars bubbles pods, and then backboard right so imagine, you know we detected data loss and this is how the kind of the thing lights up right on the on the CC wall. So you'll see that okay we've seen two alerts at this at this bubble level. So we said okay two to Tars are reporting under this bubble and then one part is reporting under this bubble right so we are seeing packet losses against these these stars. So, at this point the the we now start seeing more packets packet losses reported across different Tars now. So, so we're seeing more and more alerts with each refresh cycle or with each cycle of those probes we've seen more. Now suddenly we see one more shop right so that the counter here is increasing. We're seeing more and more and then we're now increasing the severity of these alerts to because we are now potentially starting to see a problem in this in this region, right because we now have three of them reporting here. Then when we started when we start seeing a fourth one here, then we start elevating those errors to the next level right so initially they were reporting at the top of rack switch level. Then we once we started detecting more and more packet losses, we elevate that to the bubble level right so now the now the alert is at the bubble level, but as in the other cases if you see here, since there was only one alert. The alert was still here as well. There are two of them. The alert is is level but it's not, it's not critical. Now here we see more and more of these packet losses which means that there is something at the bubble level and so the alert kind of we raise the severity of the alert and we also make it. We also bring it into focus for for the operations team to say okay yours you need to start focusing on this. There's something going on here. The go up and then you'll start seeing more and more more and more of these show up in the in the critical in the critical bucket.  Thank you for your time. And I'm happy to take questions. Thank you. All right, I do believe we have the phone bridge ready to go so amber you are ready to answer questions. That's good. All right amber are you able to see in the panel the q amp a with speakers. Yes, I'm answering questions there. Okay, great. Sorry, it was muted amber there's one that slipped into the chat as well, which is the other part of the q amp a I just put it in our internal chat. Okay, I'll take a look. If there are multiple equal costs. Yes, so I just answered this. I just answered this on the chat. So late, there were a couple of questions around latency. So this was a this is an announcement that we recently added where we are able to do now detect latency degradation as well. This is still being tested. So we have not, we've not deployed this in production. The production deployment only contain or only detects for packet losses. Another question was the average UDP packet sending rate. So we send in production right now we send UDP packets every 30 seconds across all of these configured parts across our network infrastructure. Follow up question. Another question was you mentioned that the agents test connectivity to other agents. Oh, so it's the same one.  If so, does it disturb monitoring. Yes, that's a that's a great question. So yes, it does have the, you know, we do use the same path. And there is a possibility that it can disturb marketing. That's why I was saying earlier that we deploy enough of these agents to make sure that we have in we have the coverage across our infrastructure. And we do have to per act like I was saying earlier. So that is to ensure redundancy. So unless there is a total network failure that we should be able to we should be able to we should be able to have enough coverage. I was wondering what the platform the net vision is running on. So the agents are deployed are built in Python. The back end is built on the this built on an elk stack right now. Elastic search Kibana stack right now. But we are moving that over to a different back end called click house, just because we the scale is too much for elastic elastic search to handle at this point. And the visualization that you saw is built is a custom build visualization using WebGL. And Amber, I'm sorry, but we are at time. I did post the message for everybody in the attendee chat with the slack channel. If you want to continue asking questions, Amber can answer them through the slack channel. Absolutely. I don't have to go on to any questions there. Okay. Okay, I'm going to go ahead and disconnect the phone bridge then. All right, thank you. Thank you.


I don't think it will come as much of a surprise to anyone who has watched the channel for any amount of time that I'm a Tiling Window Manager fanboy. And I propagate my love of Tiling Window Managers to everyone who watches my channel over and over again. I just make a ton of videos on Tiling Window Managers. I think they're amazing. And I would argue that if you try it, you would probably think it's amazing too. But I know that Tiling Window Managers aren't for everyone. For those of you who are or have considered switching to a Tiling Window Manager, there are a few things that you should definitely know. So the biggest one that you absolutely should know is that a Tiling Window Manager, just like all Window Managers, are just that. They only exist to manage your windows. They're not going to come with a settings panel or the ability to set your wallpaper or the ability to change Bluetooth settings or any of this stuff. None of that stuff is going to be built into a Window Manager at all, whether it's Tiling or otherwise. So once you've gotten your head around that, you're probably wondering, well, how do I do all of those things? Well, there are obviously ways to do those things without having a back end like you'd get in a desktop environment. The difficulty comes in actually finding those tools and discovering that you kind of have to piece together all of the functionality that you would have gotten if you'd just used a desktop environment in the first place. So today, what I'm going to be talking about is five tools that every Tiling Window Manager user needs to know about. Now there are definitely other tools that could have been on this list and should be on this list. This could have been a 20 item list if I wanted to, maybe even more than that. But I wanted to stick to five. These are the ones that I consider very important for most people, at least four of them meet that criteria. One of them is kind of frivolous, but we'll get to that when we get there. So let's go ahead and jump into the first tool.  So my tool of choice for this is FEH or FEH, however you pronounce it. I'm not actually sure, but however you pronounce it. What this is is a command line tool that allows you to set wallpapers. Now there are other tools that you could use for this. One of them is called Nitrogen. That is a GUI based application that allows you to choose your wallpaper. It's probably more appropriate for new users, but I prefer Fed just because I'm a nerd and I prefer to do things in the terminals. So let me show you quickly how this works. So I have three wallpapers in this directory here. So let's say I wanted to set one of these wallpapers as the wallpaper I want to use right now. So in order to do that, I would use the FEH command and FEH is in almost every Linux distributions repository. All you'd have to do is sudo apt install FEH or sudo DNF install FEH, whatever happens to be for you. It'll be easy to download. So in order to set one of these wallpapers, as my wallpaper, I do dash dash bg dash f-i-l and then the name of the wallpaper. So I'm just going to do fedora.png here and then I hit enter and you'll see that I've now changed my wallpaper and it's really as simple as that. Now there are more things that you should know about fed and I have found several YouTube videos explaining how to do this. So I will point you towards those in order to learn the intricacies of using it. But you can set it up so that it will remember your wallpaper upon reboot. That is something that you can do. And you can also set it so that it's tiled or centered or however you want. You just kind of have to learn the flags. So that's FEH. The alternatives to this, as I said, would be nitrogen. It's also a very good application. The next application that I think everyone needs is a menu system. So the vast majority of window managers, whether they're tiling or not, do not include any type of menu system. So you won't have any way of launching a application if you don't have a menu system of some kind unless you want to launch everything from the terminal. So there are two options for you and both of them are equally good. So there's D menu, which is a suckless tool, and it is very minimal, but works very well out of the box. All you have to do is install it. And again, it's going to be in most distros repos, although there are different names depending on what distributions you're using. So in Ubuntu slash Devon, you're going to be downloading suckless tools. I think in Fedora, it might just be D menu. It also might be suckless tools. I'm not sure. You can also build it yourself very easily. So menu system that I use, however, is called Rofi. And this is what Rofi looks like, although for everyone else, it will look slightly different because I've obviously themed this. But basically what this allows you to do is launch applications. That's the simplest use that Rofi has. It also has other things that you can do with it. You can script with it so that you can do things like change your theme. Like I do, I've written a script that allows me to change my theme. So like this, I now have a Dracula type theme. You can also do things like things like switch between open windows and stuff like that. So that is Rofi. The menu also has similar functionality. It's just a matter of learning which way you want to do it. I prefer Rofi simply because I'm more familiar with it. But the menu is also good. The next application that everyone probably needs is a tool called Qt5 CT. Now that's a mouthful and you will always probably forget that tool's name. But basically what it allows you to do is set Qt themes on your system. So anything that uses the Qt framework, so that would be pretty much any KDE application is going to need to be themed, otherwise they're going to look kind of but ugly. Qt5 CT allows you to do that now. How you use Qt5 CT is going to be basically the subject of an entirely different video because it is kind of complex. But this is the application that you would use to theme Qt apps. You can also use an application called Covantum, or you can use both of them. It really depends on how you want to go about theming your Qt applications. Personally, the way I've been doing it now is that I just find one dark theme and leave it. I never theme it to anything else. I think I'm right now using the Grubbox theme to be honest with you. It looks pretty good basically no matter what theme that I'm using. And I don't honestly have that many KDE applications that I use on a day to day basis. The only one that I really do use is Crusader and it works fine just in this theme here. So that is Qt5 CT. Like I said, if you decide you need to use this application to theme your Qt applications, I would highly recommend looking up a tutorial on how to use it because there's an environment variable that you need to set in order for it to work. That is going to be probably the biggest hurdle to actually using this application. The next application is very similar to Qt5 CT and that's going to be LX Appearance. LX Appearance, all one word. And what this does is basically the same thing as Qt5 CT, only this themes GTK applications. So this one is probably going to be much more useful for most people because the vast majority of applications are actually GTK based. LX Appearance allows you to theme those things. So you would install a theme just like you would in like Denome or something like that. Like a proper folder and then it would appear in this application and you could change it to whatever you want and then apply and then that would then apply to every single GTK application that you have. And unlike Qt5 CT, this one doesn't require any weird environment variables or anything like that. You just install this thing and it will allow you to change the theme. It also will allow you to change the icon theme, the mouse cursor, the font, things like that. But again, those things will only apply to GTK themes. So the last one on the list is the superfluous or frivolous one that I mentioned at the beginning. This one is going to be a font instead of a tool and I include this one because a lot of people wonder how I get the icons in my terminal and how I get icons in my bar and stuff like that. A lot of people ask me this question and really the process for that is going to be different depending on what you're trying to rice or what theme I suppose you should say. But the common functionality between all this stuff is that I use nerd fonts. And nerd fonts is a huge collection of icon fonts and other types of fonts that allow you to use icons in your bars and terminals and stuff like that. Now I should say it's not just icon fonts. It also has monospace fonts and other types of fonts as well. When I say a huge collection, I mean a huge collection. If you download all of them, which I do, it's several gigabytes worth of fonts. It's insane how many fonts are included in this set. I would highly recommend not doing what I do and installing all of them. I would say go through all of the fonts on the website and then find one you like and then just download that font or download the font that you like instead of downloading the whole pack. I download them all because I switch between fonts every once in a while and I just like having them on hand. But most people aren't me. So just find the font that you want and then download it here. Now the thing about NerdFonts is that they're not in every single repository unfortunately. So you can find them if you are using an arch. A lot of them are in the AUR, Ubuntu and WNHF. Some of them packaged individually, but not the whole thing. I'm not sure about Fedora to be honest with you. I've never actually looked in the Fedora repos whether or not NerdFonts is there. But the way I usually do it is go to their GitHub page, clone the entire repo and then use the install script that's included in the repository. Just run that and it installs them all for you. Obviously this is going to make your font collection much, much bigger. So it means when you're trying to scroll through, trying to find the right font, you're going to have a lot more to scroll through. Whether or not that's a good thing for you or not, it really depends, right? So that is the fifth tool. Now obviously, like I said at the beginning, there are many other tools that I could have included on this list. Things like Blue Man. Blue Man will allow you to manage your Bluetooth connections. That is a very important one for a lot of people. Things like a favorite terminal emulator. I highly recommend you find your own terminal emulator, whether you're just going to be using the one that you've always been familiar with or you're exploring something new. I would highly recommend finding one that is good and one that suits your needs. So there are, like I said, several other tools that I could have put on here. And I may make a follow-up video to this video if you guys are interested in some more of these tools.

Hello, everyone. I'm Dr. Lakshmi Johan, JR2 Department of Radio Diagnosis in Dr. D.Y. Partley University School of Medicine, Navey Mumbai. Today, I'm here to present on antinatal approach to skeletal dysplasia. The aim is to conduct step-by-step approach in a suspected case of antinatal skeletal dysplasia. Skeletal dysplasia, also known as osteocondro dysplasia, are a large heterogeneous group of disorders consisting of skeletal abnormalities. The primary etiology is genetic mutation, which usually begins at an early stage of the fetal development and continues to evolve throughout the life. According to Nozology Committee of International Skeletal Displasia study, the latest in the 10th version of Nozology comprises 461 different diseases, which are further divided into 42 groups based on their clinical radiological and molecular phenotype. Fetal skeletal dysplasias are difficult to diagnose in neutro due to numerous factors, including a large number of skeletal dysplasia and their phenotypic variability with overlapping features, absence of precise molecular diagnosis and systemic approach for many disorders, in efficacy of ultrasound to provide an integrated view, variability of time at which finding manifests in some skeletal dysplasia. Their overall prevalence has been reported to be 2.3 to 7.6 per 10,000 births in various studies. Method, a 33-year-old G3P2L1 came for an anomaly scan. Geologic P9R3 ultrasound machine with curvilinear probe was used. Step-by-step fetal anatomical survey was done. In first gravita, the findings were similar as the current case, which was aborted and no tests were done. Second gravita was normal. On anatomical survey of the third gravita, following findings were seen. Here we can see the stippling of the femoral epiphysis. These arrows, green arrows are representing stippling of femoral epiphysis. Stippling means focal bony calcifications which appear dot-like. Here we can see the depress nasal bridge which is known as saddle nose. Saddle nose means collapse of the nasal bridge with decrease in the nasal height. In this case, there was increased frontal nasal angle which was 151 degree. The normal frontal nasal angle in 14-39 weeks of gestation is 126 plus minus 7 degrees. However, in this case, the nasal bone length was normal. Here we can see the flat face. The other findings were polyhydrome news, the upper limb lower and rest of the lower limbs were normal, thorax, pelvis, spine, hand, fore, skull, all were normal. The above positive findings were suspicious of skeletal dysplasia. The patient was advised for further evaluation with amniocentesis exome sequence. In a suspected case of skeletal dysplasia on antenatal scan, a detailed evaluation of skeletal system needs to be performed. The following points need to be evaluated. In upper and lower limbs, the length of the long bones, absinthe, malformation, hypoplasia which are resomelia, mesomelia, resomesomelia, acromelia should be looked for, curvature, degree and the mineralization of the bone and fracture should be looked for. Femur foot length ratio should be normal which is 1. If it is less than 1, it is suggestive of skeletal dysplasia. In thorax, we have to look for markers of pulmonary hypoplasia. Some of these are chest circumference less than 5th percentile, chest abdo circumference ratio less than 5th percentile, chest trunk length ratio less than 0.2 and femoral length and abdominal circumference ratio less than 0.16. We have to look for clidocranial dysplasia which is absence of hypoplastic clavicle, chemtomirlic dysplasia which is absent scapula. In hands and feet, we have to look for polydictile, syndictile and clino-dictile. Others include club feet, hand, rocker bottom feet, etc. In pelvis, achondroplasia, limb pelvic hypoplasia, femoral hypoplasia, unusual feces syndrome should be ruled out. In skull, head circumference and biparital diameter are to be looked upon to exclude macrosyphaly. Head circumference is to abdominal circumference ratio, shape, mineralization, degree of ossification, interorbital distance to exclude hyper and hypotellurism. Brecicephaly, scapicephaly, craniosynthesis should be ruled out. Others include macrognathia, short upper lip, abnormal shaped ear, frontal bossing and cloverleaf skull. In spine, we need to rule out relative length, total length and curvature, mineralization of vertebral bodies and neural arches. In our cases, the following findings were noted. Binder syndrome, which is also known as mexilonasal dysplasia, is a rare congenital condition which develops in the first trimester of pregnancy and is characterized by facial features. Some of these include erinoid face, shortened nose with depressed nasal bridge, flat faces, intermexillary hypoplasia, nasal mucosa atrophy, anterior nasal spine agenesis, a convex upper lip, underdevelopment of frontal sinuses and anomalies of cervical spine. Binder syndrome is phenotype with several causes amongst which most important is chondrodysplasia punctata. In some cases of Binder syndrome, only facial features are present, while in others, full clinical picture of x-linked, brecicephalyngic chondrodysplasia punctata is seen. Chondrodysplasia punctata, this includes various group of disorders in which calcific stippling of cartilage and periarticulars of tissue is seen. It is of two type, resomalic and non-resomalic type. It has very poor prognosis. Some radiological features are very short humerus and relatively short femur with some metaphyzels spleen. Facial features include flat face and small saddle nose. Acytis and polyhydromonous may also be seen. In our case, the following finding was seen on genetic testing. The disease was diagnosed as chondrodysplasia punctata. Inheritance was x-link dominant. Zygocity was heterozygous or hemizygous. Some common skeletal dysplasias and their salient antinatal radiological features include first achondroplasia, which includes short femur length, often less than 5th percentile, trident-shaped hand, frontal bossing, depressed nasal bone. Thanatotrophic dysplasia includes short, thick, bold bones especially of the lower extremities. Thicken soft tissue of extremities, narrow thoracic cavity, comparatively large head with frontal bossing and clover leaves skull may also be seen. In osteogenesis imperfecta, decreased calvarial ossification, fracture which may result in shortening or angulation of the long bones and polyhydromonous are seen. Echondrogenesis includes micromelia, floating head appearance may be seen, micrognathia and macrocephaly can be seen. These are the references. Thank you.


My feet are rooted into the ground. Just imagine it's like a tree trunk and it's got roots coming out on the bottom of my feet and all those roots are like sucking me into the ground. So I want to make my consciousness and awareness below my feet. If you can't get it lower, just think about your feet. Just all you have to do is just think about your feet, wiggle your toes around, move your feet so you can think and feel your feet and then once you can do that, think even below and feel below your feet if you can do it. So now I'm going to add them all together. Okay, so looseness, sinking into the ground, straight spine, relaxation, breathing, and also visualization.
