What is good, Mama Squad? Welcome back to our channel. Right now we are currently with Jules and Saad, as you can see by our other video that we filmed with them. They came to Florida to visit us and we are actually in the Everglades right now. And I want to see which one of us can see the first alligator because This is gonna be crazy. There are alligators here, Panthers, Lions, and a lot more. This is Saad's calling guys, he loves this. Saad has literally been waiting to come here. Look at it, like they're all ready. They're all out here. Look at Julia and her hat. Ready? I'm gonna try to jump down. Oh, yeah, this is the part where she slipped. Oh, babe. You got all in there. All right, so it hasn't even been five minutes and Mariah and Julia are already going to the bathroom. And we did stop on the way here to go to the bathroom as well. Literally like a half hour ago. But me and Saad are checking in right now to get the boat ride. And dude, I'm trying to be the first one to see a gator. Like, are there any in here? Like you'll literally just see their hat like sticking up. No way there's one over there down there. Is that one? Right there? The hat. You see it? I don't know if that's a gator. I don't know, it might be a log. But either way, we're going to see a lot. All right, I don't know if you can see this guys, but there's a blue crab right there. Can you see it? I don't know if you can see it. It was literally a crab. And Saad was actually the first one to see a gator. I didn't think it was, but it was. It turned out there was one floating nearby. So these are actually the air boats that we're going to be riding on as well. And one's coming in right now you can see with all the people on. But if we didn't order a private one, we would have been sitting with so many other people, but we did order a private one. So it's going to be me, Saad, Julia, and Mariah. Yeah, it's private. They said it's private. So it's only us four on the whole boat. Awesome. Costed it a little bit more, but it's going to be a lot worth it. That's so worth it. We're literally going to drive through the swamps and see a bunch of alligators and stuff. Guys, the Everglades is literally insane. We haven't been here in a couple years. We're doing a few other things too. I can't wait to see the lines and the panthers. That's my favorite thing, honestly. I want to see a panther. Well, didn't ask you. I want to see the sword. I'm kidding. See, I'm kidding. Take a boomerang of me and Julia. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I love Julia. I had such a good idea. Look at Saad out here. Guys, this is the behind the scenes. Literally just a photographer. Videographer. And I'm not getting paid any extra for it. Just seeing a boyfriend's enough, I guess. Three, two, three, one. All right, ready?  The video does not even do it justice. That's his head and his tail is way over here. Dude, that's the gator that you saw first. That's the first one that I didn't think it was.  Yo, we need to get closer though, because camera does not do justice at all.  What?  You're doing sacrifice yourself? That's so good. No. You're doing sacrifice in us. I'm like, okay, well, for the Marvel Squad. Yo, so it's going to be loud, but we just got on the airboat. And we're going to go see some alligators and have some fun right now. Look at how happy Saunders are here. He has a smile on his face since the moment he stepped onto this place. This is going to be crazy. And it's like barely raining. It's stopped right now. So hopefully it doesn't rain at all for the rest of the time. Oh, yeah. Here we go. How did he break his jaw? Well, it's our mating season, which is around April and May. Males will fight till the death or till one quits and gets away from us. So you see it happen at all the time. So the males will fight with each other? Yep, over females and territories.  I'm telling you right now, female are not worth losing a job. You've got a pimple that looks like that. That thing is huge. So how big is that? Like eight foot? Seven? He's probably around nine. Nine may be pushing 10 these days. He's pretty decently sized. And how old is he? One that size is probably around 50. Just going by size. In a while, they're going to live around 80 to 100 years. Dude, he's just chilling. Look at him. And he comes back to the same spot every year where he's going on the edge of that island there. There's a little cave that's basically dug out on the edge of that island. So once it dries up out here, he sinks down into that cave and all the water funnels into the cave. But there's one right up front, right here that's eating a fish. It still has it in its mouth. It was literally just chopping on it. You can see his whole tail. Oh my God. That's crazy. I've never seen that. I didn't think I would. Right. Isn't that insane? I know. He came all the way back to the dock to see the most exciting thing. Yeah, right? Like the whole trip and this is the best, right? So there's literally like 20 baby alligators in here.  And Sawd likes crocodiles better than alligators, which I don't blame them because they look badass. But they literally had like 50 million alligators here. Look at it. Bunch of sunbathing. Got some turtles back there. That is crazy. Guys, a tragic thing has happened in the marble house. In Florida in general. My best friends left. Jules and Sawd have left the building and they didn't leave anything for us except their empty water bottles and stuff. Oh yeah, and their pool toys from their video that they filmed right here. Look at that. We went to Target with them and we bought those pool toys with them at Target. And now they're literally 1,000 miles away, all the way in a different state. It's all right. We're going to go visit them soon. It's all right. Hey, I hope you guys enjoyed the airboat ride footage. There was a lot of stuff that we did at the Everglades. It was freaking insane. Let me tell you, like you couldn't hear anything or feel how we felt. But we were literally like, it felt like we were just like floating. Yeah, we were floating on the water. But it felt like we were just like gliding and like there was no bumps at all. Like you would think it'd be bumpy, but it was so fun. And we had an amazing time with Jules and Sawd. But now fast forwarding. Today is Valentine's Day. No. So happy Valentine's Day, babe. And I wanted to do this on camera because she's giving me s*** for not asking her to be my Valentine. So I'm going to do this right on camera. Okay?  All right, babe. Stay right here. And look at the camera. Stay there. Also guys, I'm a little hangry. I haven't eaten all morning. I'm starving. All right. Put a little down. That's why I need some fuel. What? All right, ready? Mariah. Will you be my one and only Valentine's Day? I love you so much. And this is the first little gift of the day. And this one is an artificial flower bear. So it'll last forever. It'll stay just like that as long as you keep it good. So wait, did you accept? Are you my Valentine? Is this a thing or? Yeah. Yay. It's official, guys. She's officially my Valentine's Day. If you have not asked anyone to be your Valentine or no one has asked you yet, don't worry. The day is still young.  Give them the card or just one flower. That just means a lot, huh? This is so cute. I got it at the stove. At the stove? At the Valentine's stove. The Valentine's Day stove. Guys, so today it is Valentine's Day as we said. Now that I have my Valentine, we can do stuff together all day long. I have something planned. So we are filming this a little bit earlier than we did. Oh, yeah. We're filming this like three days before. Today is Friday and Valentine's Day is Monday. Yeah. But we wanted to post this video on Monday. So when this video goes up, it's going to be Valentine's Day. That's why we're doing this now. So today is like a little early one for us. But I do have a surprise for us. Okay. It's something that Mariah has been wanting for a while. All right. But we have to go get Starbucks first. To get you to cheer up. But it looks like she's already cheering up. I'm not saying anything. You got to wait. You got to wait your turn, bro. You got to wait your turn, bro. It's pink drink time. I don't know if you guys remember. A lot of you guys probably do. But comment down below. Do they still do this in school where you pass out Valentine's Day cards? I don't know if they would do it for COVID or whatever they're doing. But like we used to pass out these little cards. Oh, yeah. You would have a baggie. And everyone would go around and pass one out per student in class. Yeah, I remember that.  To and from. To, from. And it was, yeah. And it was like, will he be my Valentine's Day? But everyone was each other's Valentine. Oh. And they used to kind of get a little candy, too. I remember that. Yeah, you got candy. Yeah.  You know from all the kids in class. That's so cute. I don't know if you guys do that still. Comment down below because like I said COVID, I don't know if things have changed and you can't let me do that. If they're like, oh, don't touch me. Don't give me a card. Let me know if you guys still do that. That was so cute. I remember that. But let me just say, I blame Julia because I really wasn't in... I... What's that, babe? You make me nervous when you say that. So Julia, I was trying to stay away from pink drinks because caffeine messes with me, but I've been drinking a lot of energy drinks. So the caffeine's been, you know, I've been getting tolerable for it. Her brain is addicted to this stuff. Now I'm drinking... Now I'm drinking Benty pink drinks and I'm wanting them twice a day. So... She's going down a rabbit hole. Julia really got me in a addiction to pink drinks again. That's what she laughed. That's what Jules and I left us. They left us with the Starbucks addiction. Like we were already addicted to Starbucks.  You inspired us. She was telling me all the things that we inspired them to because I guess I smell really good in her eyes. She's like, you know, now I'm taking care of putting on lotion and perfume and all this stuff. So, hey, she... So I got home and started to like revamp in his lungs. Yeah, he did. It was so funny. We love them so much. But yeah, I gotta tell you guys because now I am on a pink drink craving and it sucks. Hi. Hi. Guys, I have a really big surprise for Bill that I'm going to explain a little bit to you guys. So are you giving it to me now or do you want to wait till like the end of the video? So I kind of want it now. I gave you a little surprise. Okay, can I eat first? Yeah. Because I kind of want to talk to Marvel Squad about this certain thing. I want to tell you guys, I already know who it's from though. Why? Because when she bought it, it came up on my bank account statement. Yeah, because I was having difficulties buying it. It's Gucci. She bought something from Gucci. So I know it's expensive and I know it's, you know, probably a little something different that I ever really have or worn. But I have not seen it. I don't know what it is at all. I didn't ever try to look into it or find it. I just kind of saw the bank statement. It was more that I wanted to get, but the reason I didn't get everything was because our five year is coming up in March. So I wanted to like split it a little bit. Dude, that's a month away. In March, we will be dating for five freaking years. That's insane. Five years. That's half of a decade. I know. Dude, that's crazy if you think about it. It's wild. I'm excited to see what else you got me. What is it? Something I wanted? Oh, so I need to go pick it up. I'm gonna probably leave right now. I'm gonna go to the store.  But something I've been wanting for a while. That's not the thing. I plan something. We're gonna add two o'clock because it's something that you've been wanting. You thought. Babe, I didn't know. A couple of massages were taken up forever. I have something planned at two o'clock that we're gonna be doing together. And then I'm gonna go to the store right now because I have to get something for her. No, that's the whole point of it's nothing like crazy. It's just something cute. And we still, we still got it. Babe, we still, no, it's not. You swear on my life? Mm-hmm.  That's something that I've been wanting. That's life. The only thing I would think. Package? Yeah. Really? Mm-hmm. What actually? Yeah. It's something that you've been wanting. You literally decided the other day that you wanted one too.  I'm being serious. I'm being serious. All right guys, so I just told Bill to go outside because I didn't want him to hear what I'm about to say and what I got him. So basically what I did was I got us both promise rings. I know, I don't know if it's usually a guy thing that usually gives a girl a promise ring, but today, I'm switching it up. I'm getting him a promise ring and I got myself a promise ring just so like we can match. So he's actually been wanting a black ring for a really, really, really long time. But we obviously haven't gotten one. So I'm like, you know what, this will be perfect for Valentine's Day. I'm gonna get him a nice Gucci ring. So I know he's gonna be super excited. It's so nice. I haven't even opened it yet. I haven't even looked at it. I haven't even looked at mine. So I don't even, first of all, I'm scared. I'm hoping it's gonna fit. I hope that it's perfect. But I'm really excited to get his reaction and I'm excited to see, you're gonna get basically my reaction on camera too because I haven't seen it yet in person. I haven't even unwrapped it because the packaging on the Gucci is so pretty. You don't wanna open it because you don't wanna ruin it because I would never be able to put it, be able to put it back together like that. But guys, I'm so excited. I hope he loves it. I'm excited to give it to him. I've been waiting to give this to him for the last couple of weeks. I ordered it early just in case like it didn't come in on time. But I'm so excited.  And I just wanna give it to him already. Babe! Hi. Hi. You ready? Yes, I am. It's like spring in the marble squad. So I also wanna tell you guys that I had no idea we were gonna film today. We thought about it yesterday to film for today so we can go up on Valentine's Day. So I did not pick up or get Mariah's gift yet. So I don't know which one's which but the reason I got myself something and yourself something is because there's a meaning. Because it's matching. I think this one is yours. So what I think it is, I think we're gonna match but it's gonna be two different things that match with each other. So let's just say one's a necklace and one's like a bracelet or one's a ring and one's like an anklet. They're both gonna- You're gonna open it. Okay. Can I open it right now? Yeah, open it. And also it's not about the price that matters to me. No! I really don't care about design or stuff at all. I just like, you know, I know that she's been really excited for this. I wanna make sure, wait, before you open it, I'm gonna make sure that this isn't yours. Yeah, this kind of looks. This looks like- Oh, this is mine. This is some velvet. This is nice. This is mine. I'm gonna let you open up yours first. All right. Ready? Three, two, one. This looks like a dentures box. Hey! It's a ring. That's sexy. I knew one of them was gonna be a ring. Wow. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Guys, that's even for a beautiful person. Hold up. Do you see this? Oh my gosh. Can you see that? This is sick. That is gorgeous.  I need to- So this is where it looks like- It fits. So you know what I was taking your ring size a couple weeks ago? Yeah. That's why. Because of this? Mm-hmm. We took it out like a month ago. So I'm hoping it fits you. So, let me see. I want to show you what I got for myself. Hold on. Let me try to put this on. All right.  I don't know. Whatever fits. Does that not fit? Dude, this is sick. Is that too tight? Kind of tight. Hold on. Did we get measured for your ring finger or did we- The day I got a Gucci ring stuck on my finger. We didn't measure it on- I think you can put it on your middle finger. So you can fit it there. That is not going to fit. Oh. Damn, it doesn't fit. Hold on. That fits. Oh, do the ring. Do the ring. Because there's a reason for that. But that's- Why would I have it on my ring? I want to marry you. Put it on your right. It's my right, right? Because my left- So- My left finger would be if we were married, right? But I got myself one. Dude, this looks sick, Mariah. Do you see this? Thank you. I just want to say thank you. Sorry, I was distracted. Look at this. That's like a promise ring. So I got my silver one and you got your black one. So it's like our promise rings and- That is sick. I like that one a lot. That one's sick. Hold on.  It says Gucci made in Italy. So let me see if this fits me. Look at this one, guys. Can you see this? So yeah, it's basically the meaning behind- The reason why I got myself one and- This has little Gucci symbols on it. I don't know if it's like more of a guy thing or a girl thing, but I wanted to give a promise ring because I know like in the next- I don't know when you're gonna propose, but just to know that like I'm here to stay. Oh, well I'm here to stay too. I love you. I love you too. You love it? Does it fit? It honestly doesn't fit on my other ring finger. It doesn't fit on your other ring finger? No, look at this. It's stuck. It doesn't fit. Can we- I don't know. It fits on- like maybe that's a sign because it fits on this ring finger really good, but not this one. Try your other pointer finger. Hell no. My fingers are all jacked up. Why? I think it doesn't fit. Don't shove it on there.   Wait, go to- go put it on your ring again? Or your- It doesn't fit. So after a further inspection, the ring did not fit, but I freaking love it. We're gonna go to Gucci- Tomorrow. Tomorrow I think in like the closest ones an hour away. So we're gonna go and get a resize and obviously no, we're probably gonna return that one and then get a different one, but the same Gucci ring. Which sucks, but it's all right. I love it. No, I literally love it. It's gonna be okay. I tried every single finger it wouldn't fit and it was so awkward on camera we didn't know what to say because I was like, well, I don't know. It doesn't fit. And I was like, all right, we'll just show off the camera and like figure it out. But Mariah's ring fits if that's, you know, any better and it's Valentine's Day. So like, boom. It's a heart.  But I wanted to get us a heart ring like promissuring, even though it's not the same looking one, it's still obviously don't fit. I don't think they find the same matching one. It was more the fact that I've been wearing a silver ring. For our wedding band, did you want a black wedding band or would you like the silver to match? Like what actually would you like? I don't know. I'm gonna have to try on a silver ring to see, like buy like a five dollar one on Amazon.  So I'm like, I'm gonna get that and then we can just do black and silver. What I'm gonna do, I'm gonna buy probably like black, silver and gold looking rings for probably like what, 10 bucks on Amazon, like all three and then put them on and see which one I like more. You're probably like silver. But you never know. I might like the gold. I might like the black. You never know. But anyways, it did fit on my ring figure, but I didn't want to put it on there because, you know, we're not engaged. I'm sad. But I'm gonna go right now, get her something and then I'm gonna be back in time for us to go to the other thing that we have today. Yeah. So I'm excited. Hey guys, I'm closing my eyes. I just arrived. The man of the hour is back. Looking better than ever. Let me angle this up a little bit. All right, I'm gonna open it. So I might want to bring it to the table. So I like when it got it today, obviously, but I had a plan to get it this weekend. So that's why I was out for a little bit longer. Oh, it's wrapped really cute. Yeah. So baby. And I told her, I was like, make sure you get some special wrapping in here. I obviously didn't even know she was gonna do that, all that. But you do it so cute. It can't do that. Yeah. It can't do that. And she said that next time, you come back to get that clean. Yeah. You can get that clean too. What? Oh, they're hoops, baby. These are beautiful. Because you don't have like good hoops. Look at your hoops. Those are like, they look like. Yeah, they look rustic. Hot glued and rusted and stuff. Look at these. These are beautiful. Wait, show mama's squad. Are they 10 carat? Mmm. What kind of gold is it? White gold. White gold? Oh no, it's white gold, but those are diamonds, right? Yeah, they're real. Yeah. Look, it's from K Jewelers, unless they sell fake s***. I don't know, but. Baby. I figured you could go for some good hoops. I literally first thing I told her, she's like, what are you looking for? I was like, I was like, well, she has too many bracelets. She just got a ring, and she has a favorite necklace that she wears all the time. So I think the only thing I'm working with is either earrings or an inklet. An inklet? I feel like you'd like these hoops better. No, I honestly, look at these. I know, like they look like. You glued them on. Ew, they literally look, I mean not s***ing on these, but like, you bought them from my Target, so. It's beautiful. These are beautiful, Bill. Oh my God. You like it? Thank you, I'm gonna give you another hug. I don't even need to put on makeup. And I didn't want to get like giant ones because you're not into the big, big ones, okay? You like the smaller, subtle ones, right? I like the small, subtle, but I also like big, but I mean. But still, do you just, I feel like, fit your ears, like, we'll fit them really good. And they'll glisten. Oh my God, that's beautiful. They look pretty. All right, show me. Dude, those are good. I love them. Do you actually like them or do you think? Oh, I love them. This is so cute. Like, so pretty. I never actually had like a real like earring. Like, all my earrings have been fake. Like, they're all like fake. They're gonna glisten. Look at her, guys. Going to work right now at her vanity. Trying to get this thing. She wear, like, you wouldn't be able to live without this thing, right? No. She sits here half of her days, like, just getting ready and stuff. The vanity's the best. Look at this. Oh, my Gucci ring. Look at how beautiful. I know. I was nervous you got another ring, but like. It definitely glistens. This is so pretty. Look how beautiful that is. Wow. I'm obsessed. Thank you. You love it? I love it. Anything for you. We still have one thing to do today, and we're actually going there. We have to be there by 2.15. So we're gonna leave in literally like 20 minutes to go. You kind of guessed it, but that's okay.  It probably made you even happier. I should have taken a picture of them in a case, shouldn't I have? Sorry, you can always take them back out and put them back in. Yeah, I'm gonna do that. It's probably a big deal. All right guys, we made it. How are you feeling? Good. Water a little hot. Mine literally, when they turned the water on, it burnt my feet. It was literally like when Tyler was here, and he said it's like, you can cook a lobster in it. That's what it was for me. What are you getting? Fresh air. No real flavor. Oh, mango. Mango. I didn't even know they had mango. I'm getting lavender flavor. So yeah. All right, babe. How do you feel? So great. I saw you with the hot rocks. I didn't film it, but they were putting some spicy hot rocks on her feet. I'm gonna take my shoes and socks off in the car so I can feel the softness of my toes. Really? Yeah, guys. So I always finish before Mariah. Before Mariah because she's always getting her nails done and it takes like an extra like 10 minutes. I'm gonna show you guys my toes in the car. Oh yeah. How are your toes doing in your shoes? They're good. I just oily. I need to get my nails. Is your nails polish going to come off? No. I got gel. What? So it just freezes? It's gel polish. You know what I think that they put on? Why don't they always dry it? Why didn't they always do that? Remember when I stepped on your nails at one time? Because they didn't use gel. I don't know. I don't do nails. All right, babe. Let's see them. What do we got going on here? Wait, I need to get up close. Hey, you know those glisten as much as your new earrings do. Yeah, they do. Look at them. She did a good job. I love this girl. I asked for her name because I want to go back to her. When I came to her pedicure, she takes her time. Yeah, she does. I saw her doing your rocks. And I was like, damn, I wish they did my rocks like that. Not saying my girl was bad because she did good, but the rocks on her legs, she took her time. She was massaging it in. Yeah, she really got in it. She knew what she was doing. She really did. It felt so good. Those are the best pedicure I've had in a very long time because I feel like the other lady didn't do it as good. You know? I don't know. This lady was just bomb. Well, hey, I'm glad because it's Valentine's Day for us, early Valentine's Day. At least it came out better than you expected. I feel like that was perfect for being the day. And I love the mango smell. That's going to be my new set. Oh, yeah, let me smell it. Smell it. Ooh, that's weird. I'm just on lavender. Lavender is good. I always do lavender, but I never see mango. Guys, can you just take a moment? Tell Bill to start wearing outfits like this. Like, he looks so sexy and so fine. More turtlenecks. More. It just looks so good on you. There's a guy on Alex on TikTok. You guys probably seen him. He lives in New York, and he dances and stuff. And he lives in the tiniest apartment. He wears sweaters, and it kind of got me going, like, dang, it looks good on him. Has to look good on me, so.  We need to go ward your shopping for you. Yeah, we need it. Because it's really hard to shop for, I want to get you clothes, but I just don't know how it's going to look on you. Invest into some clothing and stuff. I think that's my main thing. And maybe like a nice pair of shoes. Well, now that you're like sweaters like that, I might have to go on Zara. Even though Zara is expensive, it's, I'm not telling you. Well, now I know what it's called. Guys, we did so much. I feel like this video has been literally going on forever, because this is more than, this is like two days of filming. We filmed two days ago. No, three. Three days ago when they were here. Yeah, you're right, you're right. Yeah, three days ago with the airboat, and then fast forward now, three days later. She was in Sotter back home. We, today's Valentine's Day, and yeah, no, it's just been going crazy. We'll update you guys on Bill's ring. Maybe we'll add it in this vlog, maybe after the ending of this video to see whether it would happen. Most likely though, we're just gonna go and get it redone. Like, return it, and I get a new one. I need to actually call Gucci, because I haven't got their, like they said they were gonna send me a confirmation confirming the appointment that they never did. Well, we'll figure it out, and we'll get it, guys. I appreciate you, and I love the gift, and I hope you love my gift as well. Oh, I love it so much. Yeah, no, I just wish I was able to wear it right now. It's okay. Comment down below, letter by letter, love, L-O-V-E, spread the love, okay?  It doesn't suck, we got them early. It's like opening your Christmas present. Everyone wants to open yourself early, so comment down love. Each letter has a comment, and we're gonna be shouting people out that do that in the comments in our next video. Plus, nothing is usually open on Valentine's Day. Oh, yeah, they wouldn't have probably been open either. It would have been booked up, so I'm glad that we did it today. I'm glad, it was really fun. It was a really relaxing Viby day. Oh, I got my Starbucks. Got your feels in. I got my toes feeling good. Now we're just gonna go home, grill up some chicken, and have a nice Netflix. Elite night. Chill night, you know? We got a complete Thanksgiving, you know? Thanksgiving. Oh, wait, Valentine's Day. All right, well, we love you, and we will see you guys in the next video. But until then, peace. Love you guys.


Myself, Dr. Yogesh Bhardwaj, I'm junior resident in the department of radio diagnosis and imaging at Command Hospital Lucknow. My topic for today is anomalies in pregnancy and what role ultrasound and MRI plays in detecting the fetal anomalies. Ultrasound is a primary imaging model for fetal imaging and during antinatal period. And in this study, we did a detailed fetal anatomical evaluation at the time of 12 to 34 weeks, depending on the patient is coming at what gestational age. Ultrasound is a radiation free imaging modality and widely available cost effective. And it is comfortable to both the patient and the operator. But ultrasound has some limitations like it has small field of vision, limited soft tissue contrast, suboptimal image quality due to oligo hydraminoids or in case of overweight or obese ladies. In such cases, we have some role of MRI and MRI plays complementary part of ultrasound for evaluation of pregnancy related complications. However, in early gestation due to small size of the fetus, MRI has limited value. In this study, our aim was to correlate the antinatal ultrasound and MRI findings with each other. And correlating the antinatal ultrasound MRI findings post-natal, post-abortal examination of newborn or fetus. This study was conducted at Command Hospital Lucknow. And in this study, 41 pregnant females between 12 to 34 weeks of gestation, who were detected or suspected to have fetal anomaly on grayscale ultrasound were enrolled. And out of these 41 pregnant females, 21, 28 were between 12 to 20 weeks of gestation and the rest were between 21 to 34 weeks of gestation. And details of fetal anomaly scan in second ultrasound was done to visualize fetal head, the orbits, lip, neck, cardiac, genital urinary tract, umbilical cord and substance, spine and all four limbs. And the targeted ultrasound was done case-to-case basis. And those 41 pregnant females having suspicion or detection of fetal anomaly underwent MRI scan within two days of completion of ultrasound study. And the majority of these females were in below 30 years of age, but around one third of the females were between 30 to 40 years of age. And during the study, we found that the CNS abnormalities were our most commonly detected abnormalities followed by the variety of CNS abnormalities was seen during the study like peremal formations, N-capuloseal, number of cases of dysgenesis of corpus callosum or spinal dysrephagia were seen. And this is the case of occipital N-capuloseal which was detected on ultrasound and confirmed on the MRI scan. Second most common abnormalities were duty related. And most common was the bilateral hydronepulosis. One rare case of malaria and duct abnormality was also seen. And in the ultrasound image, the red arrows showing the dilated uterus and the green arrow is showing dilated vagina. The uterus was separated by a organic septum and dividing the uterus into two parts. And because of dilated uterus and vagina, there was compression of both urethas and causing bilateral gross hydronepulosis. The ultrasound findings were confirmed by MRI imaging. There were thorax abnormalities, musculoskeletal abnormalities and other miscellaneous abnormalities. If we consider the abnormalities system wise, then we can see the most commonly detected abnormalities are CNS abnormalities forming 54% of the total detected abnormalities followed by genital urinary tract abnormalities. The role of ultrasound can never be undervalued despite multiple advancement in the field of radiology over the past few decades. Ultrasound provides real-time imaging in evaluation of fetal cardiac and dynamic imaging of fetal movements and breathing. And multiple studies have been done which suggests that whenever there is doubt of fetal anomaly, the MRI can be done. MRI is also a choice whenever diagnosis on ultrasound is inconclusive. MRI helps in removal of limitations like poor visualization of fetal parts and obede patient in oligohydramine or polyhydramine. So MRI also helps in evaluating in such patients. It has been found that MRI is most useful if we are suspecting CNS abnormalities. And in a non-CNS abnormality, MRI has limited role. MRI can help in better characterizing the fetal CNS abnormalities and better than USG even in third trimester. Other anomalies which can be detected in MRI are congenital pulmonary herobromoalphor, meson congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Multiple studies have shown that CNS abnormalities are most common followed by the abnormal abnormalities. And in the present study also CNS related abnormalities were maximum in number forming the 54% of the total abnormality followed by genetic abnormalities for a second musculoskeletal abnormalities. And in this study, we have compared that diagnosis made on ultrasound with the diagnosis of MRI and we have concluded that ultrasound was able to detect all the abnormalities. But MRI was able to confirm the anomaly and provided additional details in some cases and hence provided more confidence to the gynecologist to decide the fate of the pregnancy. And under this study, we can conclude that ultrasound with color Doppler is a well-accepted and primary imaging of modality for anomaly scan and throughout the pregnancy. And the role of the MRI is to confirm or explore or further define or further provide additional details of the anomaly detected on ultrasound. And both of these imaging modalities are complementary to each other in reaching a final diagnosis and management of the pregnancy.


So I'm just gonna break down the narratives only. I had to start living a new life, man. This is about a realization to become a new person who isn't doing bad stuff. God sent me on this earth to give life, to inspire life. Looking at what he said, and his desire to just live a new life, the opposite of this in his previous life would be taking life, or at least maybe having lives taken, inspiring death instead of inspiring life. And I want to tell people out there, like, you can change. Now, I changed. You can change. So this is all about the narrative of a character arc or a hero's journey, where if they decide to change, they're no longer responsible for things in their past. So all of me has grown. I think we've all grown. He's socializing the issue, making it clear to you, very covertly, that other people have grown. But this also means that he's saying that lots of other people have done bad things and have grown out of the capacity to do them.


is like so cool. This is actually my first bang bang con but I've been like admiring it from afar for a very long time so I'm so happy to be here and I wanted to talk a bit about my personal experience and also this is great because we talked about the social rules and I feel like some of this will actually kind of sound familiar or like hopefully y'all will kind of empathize with it or maybe learn something new and if not that's also totally fine. So yeah a little bit about me. I am a product designer at SoundCloud. That's weird that the stuff is there. Anyway full screen anyway. So I'm a product designer at SoundCloud. I am the co-founder of Brooklyn Gamery where we like design and ship games for different platforms. I also help to run Code Liberation which is a group that teaches women's program in New York and now also in London and I also make a lot of really random stuff so like random websites that do stupid things. I help to make a gaming tournament. I make games by myself as well as with friends and I also recently got into making zines which is fun because I used to make comics so I like doing lots of random stuff that's like interactive and a lot of it has to do with code. So today we're going to discuss a couple of things. Programming culture and when I say programming culture I specifically mean competitive programming culture, creativity and my path to code and hopefully this will be interesting to you because I don't know I don't know how many of you got into coding like when you were younger versus when you got into college but I've heard lots of stories about you know people coming to it at different times and I think it could be kind of cool to discuss that. So let's start by talking about code culture and again when I say code culture what I specifically mean is the competitive kind of culture around things like well actually so this will be fun. So something that I feel based on my experience is that programming is inherently creative. We're creating solutions to things you know and it's a skill that requires a lot of creative thinking like problem-solving is so important and is so much of what we do but very often instead of focusing on the how the what or the why's and the what's behind the solutions we think about the how like how are we gonna make something what are we gonna use and why are we using this and why is it better than this other tool. So something that I've noticed when I talked to a lot of traditional engineers who kind of came from a schooling background is that when we start talking about a project they immediately jump into how like what are we gonna use rather than how should it actually work. So for example I wanted to create a website that showcased some games that my friends and I were working on but before we actually figured out the functionality we were kind of saying hey this could be like a blog do we want to have these other features but we didn't even get to flesh all of that out but people were already looking up like the best Ruby on Rails set up to use and it was kind of like what are you doing stop we don't even know what we're doing yet this is gonna and so what happens every time that we have that discussion we just spiral into this you know constant comparison of like the different tools that we can use and then the projects keep failing and this has happened to me like five times by now so at this point I stopped people mid-sentence and I'm just like what are we trying to do you know like let's stop thinking about how we're doing it and just you know think about what we're trying to do first and as I mentioned I believe that part of this is partially because of how code is taught in traditional educational settings teachers are often focusing on you know teaching through lectures rather than actually teaching through doing so for example the singular time that I took a programming class because I'm mostly self-taught I took a PHP class I'm sorry and that was actually a fun comment that I probably shouldn't have said anyway but fun times see still happens but so the singular time that I took a programming class the teacher focused on lectures through the entire class and we never actually got to do any programming during the class so I was very confused and frustrated and had to fumble through it by myself and at a certain point I just started coding in the class and ignoring what the teacher was saying because it helped me understand what I was doing faster and I actually ended up dropping out of the class which says a lot but the point here is that maybe we need to teach programming in a different way because when you think about it a lot of programming languages are actually logically quite similar and yes they have different ways of being used in different constructions but a lot of the concepts are still there no matter which language you switch between so another thing to note about this is that people often comment I don't know if you've ever heard this but some people comment that when a student leaves a school they actually don't really know how to build things they've memorized so many things but they don't actually know how to make something work and that to me is quite troubling because a lot of what we're doing with programming is actually creating things and trying to make stuff work so if we're leaving schools without actually knowing how things work that's not okay in my opinion so by centering conversations about what to use we also create this hierarchy of sorts so as you heard me say when I talked about learning PHP I apologize because to a lot of people PHP is like what why would you use that and this goes back to this like mentality of like which languages are the best languages I just threw Python there because I could it's not particularly a language I care about but to some people Python is the best language or so some I don't know who but some people think that like JavaScript is the best language or Ruby or whatever everyone's got their own like language that they think is the best and this can also not be good because imagine that you're a new programmer and you're just asking hey what language should I start with a lot of times people will say their best like what they think is the best language rather than which language is the least complicated for nukes to get into so for example I learned JavaScript first and it's kind of really accepting of everything and that's a good thing and a bad thing but you know the nice thing about it is if you make a mistake like yes it'll tell you what to do but you don't have to like for example define what type of variable is it just kind of guesses from the thing that you put at the end of the variable definition which is really great for getting into it because then later you can switch to something like C sharp and say oh okay now I get that there's like a string type and a float type and all this stuff but at the beginning it's really great to start with the basics and a part of this again goes back to what happens if someone decides to stop coding because the language that they start with is just so confusing and frustrating so using the best language isn't always the best idea and the other thing about it is that even if you're an experienced programmer and you want to try the best language maybe it doesn't help you progress on projects that you're trying to get done and then additionally within a language it's even more hierarchy I don't know how many of you have experienced this but this is basically my life all the time but you know it's like oh god do I use this one or that one or do I try react or do I go with Angular or whatever and it's really just so distracting because the whole point of all of this is to just make something and we end up concentrating so much on what we're using and we don't actually get to the thing that we're trying to make and instead of doing all this maybe we should be focusing on more if the tool serves the function that is needed rather than comparing all of the things that we've heard are awesome and the other part of this is the whole real programmer thing so I struggle with this all the time and I don't know how like how many of you struggle with the real programmer thing if any of you yeah so that's fun I some people call it like imposter syndrome but I think it's you know caused by a certain competitiveness that we are all very used to that comes from similar veins of the hierarchy stuff I mentioned and my little joke is that even if you use a good language and a good framework you're not a real programmer unless you never stop coding and build your own operating system with your own blood but that's not how it should be right you know like that's not possible but if you look at people online you start comparing yourself right and if you're not coding all the time and if you don't love coding you know like you feel like maybe I'm not a real programmer like look at all these people doing open source stuff I just I don't know if I can do that or I don't have the time and if that's just really not sustainable right like some of us have families like most of us have families I'm sure of some different kinds like we have friends we have lives we have things we want to do outside of programming and it's okay also to just view programming as a job rather than something that has to kind of like in consume your entire life so what I'm saying with all of this is that programming culture the competitive kind that I was talking about actively hurts people and real programmers or people who try to be real programmers often get sick or burnt out they like some people have become depressed and some people have actually hurt themselves and that's really not helpful or you know healthy and it can actually scare people off from joining the industry like we're all making such cool things and I don't know about you but like the thing that really excites me is building something and then you know just typing stuff in and then seeing it come to life and I feel like so many people would enjoy that like that is such a really wonderful feeling and it's amazing and I think the important thing to note here is that that's quite artistic in a way like we're actually creating things you know all the time and artistic people could be learning to code and using those in their everyday lives to express themselves even more but they're not partially because of the way that we're portraying programming to them and so I think programming culture needs to change the environment is kind of hostile when you think about it as a very competitive place and that can hurt us in ways like yes it's important to be inspired by each other but if it's hurting us that's also not good and there's so many opportunities out there and you know there's so many different things that we could be doing and so we need more people in this industry especially diverse people not less so now I'm going to talk about my story and how this can be example of the change that I hope will happen I specifically love coding because I love creating and I started coding around the age of 10 and I was really fascinated with making stuff when I was younger I like some of my earliest memories are just drawing very specifically Sonic the Hedgehog fan art I'm also wearing a fun shirt today like so yeah kind of a nerd but basically my parents threw technology at me at a very young age and I fell in love with it and I was really fascinated with it because it was just fun and it wasn't because I wanted a job particularly which you know some people wanted as a job and that's fine too but very specifically I was a huge fan of anime and as you see Pokemon stuff and so Sailor Moon specifically was like one of my favorite shows and I spent a lot of time like drawing fan art around the age of like 10 and like visiting anime websites and like playing all these games and I like downloaded it like emulators and stuff and I was really into just finding random Sailor Moon games it was very strange but I was always like very very artistic and as I mentioned my parents introduced me to technology at a very young age I was their only kid so it wasn't really like a gendered thing it was just kind of like technology is the future like just do it it seems cool and I stumbled upon this website one day while I was searching for Sailor Moon art and it was called Otaku World and for those of you who don't know Otaku is like slang for a young socially awkward person who's like really obsessed with something to the point that they like stay in their house and only do that thing and this is usually in reference to anime and video games so on Otaku World there was this section for these interactive dress-up dolls called kiss dolls and of course they were like very anime focused so I fell in love immediately because I also really liked fashion at the time and I like to draw my own original characters so I was very much like I need to make these these seem cool so I found some tutorials that they had listed on the site and they were literally just text files and they had separate areas where you could download the these LZH files which were these archives of the like dolls themselves and so you can just kind of mess with them and it was super duper cool so they were just text files this one was made in 1996 and updated in 1999 and I recently looked at it okay it's still there which is amazing but using these tutorials like I was a ten-year-old and I was just ripping stuff apart and modifying it and I came up with my own dolls and I checked and they're still on that site so I'm so happy but yeah I can go back and see ten-year-old cats random dolls and these are all for me being ten which is really cool in my opinion but I really loved it it was just so fun and even now like I just get so excited thinking about the hours that I just spent kind of like making these things come to life and at first I copied other people's designs but then I learned that that was a bad thing and so I started making my own and it was a very refreshing feeling again as I mentioned earlier you know it was great to be able to type something in and then just load it up and then see it happen and that was like so invigorating because before that I was just working with paper and paper was not like that like you had to do everything by hand and then it you couldn't actually see it get animated or anything and with this I was just you know saying move a tail or whatever and it would just happen automatically and that was so cool the other thing about this is that I it helped me to learn how to do pixel art and stuff so it was kind of like this combination of art and code and that's how I grew up thinking about programming and overall this taught me a lot and actually still influences the stuff that I do today so eventually what happened is I looked at other people's dolls and I noticed that they have these cool www signs next to them and when you press them they'd go to their website and I was like whoa I need a website because that is so cool so then I decided to make my own website to showcase my dolls off and this was like my first foray into whatever a portfolio site was and before this I'd messed around with AOL home if anyone remembers AOL home yay but I'd never actually brought one to life or had one that was public and this was my first time actually using HTML and CSS and this was like back in like yeah 2000 2001 so it was frames and tables yay but it worked which was great and then when I got older I found out about Zanga and live journal and like my space and all of those and the cool thing about Zanga and live journal specifically was that you could actually modify the HTML and CSS so again this was another chance for me to kind of experiment and to express myself and I had a lot of fun just messing with colors fonts and all those kinds of things I don't really know what I was doing like here I use Comic Sans and it was you know like it worked at the time and it made me seem fun and cool but this was an example of me getting to kind of express myself as a teenager which was really important at the time so I kind of grew up with code and you know it let me express myself again and it was another case in which I felt like it was very creative and just a fun way to kind of see myself on the internet come to life and then I got into actually doing like professional website design and throughout high school and early college I kind of kept like working on personal projects and I would upload them to GeoCities rest in peace but yeah so by the time I actually got into college you know I'd learned enough to actually start designing websites for other people and that was really cool because that was a mental shift for me to actually see wow this can be a job like this whole time I've been coding and I didn't know that people got paid for this kind of thing so I made another portfolio site that was just more focused on actually highlighting some work and I got a couple of internships and that's how I learned to actually debug code for people and you know I had them walk me through things and in my second internship I learned JavaScript which was intense because I never like my first language was a scripting language but it was very proprietary and I didn't understand how JavaScript worked very specifically but they asked me to make a website with drop-down menus and a sidebar with scrolling inspirational quotes like yeah fun so what I ended up doing was I didn't really have the money to go to a JavaScript class specifically but I did find a book within a box of other books on the street very convenient that was a JavaScript 101 book and it was from CUNY shout out to CUNY and what I ended up doing is going through the book I read the entire book and started putting things on post-it notes that were relevant to what I was trying to do I ignored things like modules because they didn't really make sense to me at the time but you know I would I would copy down things that made sense like you know identifying different elements and things like that and then I scanned all of those notes and digitized them in Illustrator and then printed them all out on a cheat sheet and that helped me like this whole process of writing everything down and then like writing it again and printing it out helped me to kind of understand like okay this is what I have to do and by the end of that semester I actually had the website up and it's still somewhere on my portfolio if you search hard enough and so this was an example of how I learned to program it was a lot of self-study and a lot of experimentation and just a lot of googling and a lot of just cutting things out and figuring out how it worked with a specific purpose in mind with a specific task that I wanted to accomplish and I think that helped me to form a certain relationship with code as a paintbrush of short sorts of shorts so over time I kind of kept working with web design and web development and then I ended up here in this place where I designed products for SoundCloud I create games this is one of the games that I created called Prism Shell and then this other game is called Out of the Chemist and this transition happened very naturally as you can probably see and I'm sure I'm not alone in this I don't know if anyone else was a web designer at any point but like yeah yay web designers but yeah before the specialization of tasks happen like obviously we've always had people who were specifically focusing on programming and people who were kind of more focused on design but there was much more of a merging together and so even though my title is designer now I still use code a lot every day in the work that I do and so I hope I that you realize a couple of things from my story which is that programming can be quite artistic and it can be incredibly creative but at its core at least for me it's a means to an end and I think that all of your jobs are amazing and I love my job as well because we're all turning ideas into reality all the time but just remember that the tool doesn't always matter more than what you've made and it's very very easy to get sucked into conversations that are focused on those tools but you know make sure to also step back of it and remember what you're trying to make I just also wanted to say that code has so much creative potential and you can use it to make lots of things so here are a couple of examples of stuff that I've made as well as my friends have made so websites of course this website specifically was a generator that I'm use Twitter Twitter and flicker I keep saying Twitter it's like really that'd be a cool site but anyway Twitter and flickers API to generate inspirational quote images so this is one the best things in life are free concert tickets lol merch lol everything lol basically and you can also make apps of course I made a shopping app but this one specifically was because I was a broke college student and I needed to figure out how much money might I spend so I created a thing that calculates a range between like you know the cheap option and the more expensive option and I felt that to be pretty fun to also actually learn how to work with angular which is really great for cases like these when you want to prototype something I also made I make a lot of games like quite often and it's a really fun way to kind of express yourself and to think about like what people don't need like a lot of my my day job is like what do people need and how can I solve those problems and with games it's more like what can I do to just make people like feel completely confused and wacky and this one specifically was more of like a serious autobiographical game and includes dress up so again going back to kiss doll's face but it also includes like visual novel style interaction and it covers topics like race gender and microaggression so it's a really great way to actually tell stories and to just make people think as well as confused the hell out of them I also have a friend who creates clothing using code and so she actually has this dress where if you touch certain parts of it and they're usually in very inconvenient places of course so they start screaming at you when you touch the flowers and yeah super fun and she does all of this with like physical computing and with programming so you can also of course do things like 3d print shoes and different kinds of clothing as well so there's lots of stuff that you can do specifically with code same thing with food Ariel is like obsessed with screaming things but this make when you eat this these pieces of chocolate they actually start moaning and then they start screaming so yeah so this specifically was to kind of express how chocolate makes you feel happy at first and then you're just like why did I eat so much chocolate but it's a great way again to like mess you know like merge the lines between art and code and it's really fun GHE made a book that lights up in different ways when you interact with it so again like interactivity and code and you can put them in books you can also make fun chatbots and Twitter bots but please build and failsafe so that they don't become racist thank you and of course you can code robots right like you can make the cute kind or you can make the murderous death kind but they're both really fun and you can do that all with code you can actually do that in JavaScript now since art we know as in JavaScript work together yay and of course if you want to make programming tools as well that's so cool because you're making things that help other people make things and you're still solving problems and coming up with creative solutions but what I'm trying to say here all in all regardless of what you're focusing on making is that I would like if you celebrated the things that you made make sure to find satisfaction in that because I don't know if you ever have this situation where you're just kind of like crap I could have done this better or what if I had used meteor but that happens to me sometimes and I really have to you know kind of smack myself in the face very lightly and just say cat you made something cool okay and like don't get hung up on the fact that you couldn't make it more awesome or whatever like you did something and that's cool and I also just wanted to say to all of you I know a lot of you raised your hands just remember that you already are a real programmer okay like don't let anyone pressure you into feeling like you're not try not to compare yourself to other people's experiences because you don't know the whole picture you know part of it and you know even if you don't like to program or if you don't like code I assume that you probably all do because you're here but that's okay you know you're a real programmer because you program things and that's what matters at the end of the day so again like many painters aren't in love with their paintbrushes and a lot of plumbers aren't in love with the pipes that they use the same applies to you you just have to like making the stuff that you're making hopefully or it's a job and money is great so in summary try to focus on the project not the tools pick the language and framework that makes the thing that you're trying to make happen you can use code to create lots more than absent you know try to experiment sometimes and see if whatever you're familiar with that you can use it to make something that you're not familiar with and also remember to celebrate what you you've actually created and don't always you know say like man I could have done this better just step back sometimes and say I did something cool and like high five yourself somehow that's just a clap but you know pat yourself on the back or something and just you know feel happy about what you're doing sometimes because it's so easy to compare yourself to other people like it's it just happens all the time but you have to stop yourself from doing it and lastly remember that you already are a real programmer so to all of you I have a final simple set of words which is go out there and make cool stuff okay thank you


Hey guys, happy new year 2023 is well on its way and a lot of you including myself I've probably set some goals for for the year, right? Maybe some New Year's resolutions, perhaps Right, we have we have goals for the new year. A lot of us probably wants to run our first 10k 5k marathon and perhaps we want to improve our times We want to go from this time to that time, etc And and we have a plan on how to make that happen. And that's great. How do we do that though? Well, obviously we need to you know make a plan and we need to work on our goals in a systematic manner we probably need to have a You know very well-defined goal something that's measurable something that's probably Fixed in time so we have a deadline. We need to do it by then Otherwise if it's just I want to get faster in 2023, then it's just How do you approach that right? So those things in terms of like goal setting? Those things are important and I'm sure most of you have heard about all those Tips and tricks on how to make good goals before that's not what we're gonna talk about today Although that's all well and good. There's one thing that needs to be in place before You work on your goals specifically and that is Habits all right a habit. Okay a habit is the most powerful way to achieve anything why well because if you needed willpower or motivation or discipline even Every time you needed to work on your goal So for example every time you we're gonna head out the door and go for a run if it was always something that you Did almost spontaneously and you're like, okay, I need to reach my goals I got to do it put on my clothes get out get it done if every time we Did something for our goals. We had to go through that process of motivating ourselves Being disciplined and getting it done Then we wouldn't we wouldn't get it done over time Motivation fades. It's normal and it's natural and it's fine Discipline only takes us so far what you need is Is a habit what you need is to build a life with habits that Support the pursuit of your goals. All right, and this this is true for fitness running But it's also true for business and life in general Your life is ruled by your habits and your habits can be good or bad So we all have good habits and bad habits, right?  I'm gonna run blah blah blah like this. I'm gonna do workouts like that etc etc etc all this sort of Technicalities of how to reach your goal as a runner The first thing you do is actually just to establish the habit The side that you are going to run let's say four times a week. Okay, so Monday Wednesday Thursday and Saturday Those days you're going to run. All right, and then if you are able to For a while there you need to use your motivation and your discipline to make that happen but after a few weeks These activities start to become ingrained and they become habits and when something's become a habit It's no longer difficult to get it done because it's a habit. It's part of your routine It's part of your daily structure And suddenly you've now accomplished the biggest most important thing about building anything Including fitness and that is consistency. All right If you if you can get in the consistency doesn't even almost matter what you do as long as you just go for a run However long or whatever you're doing at first That's all that's all you want to focus on just doing it and for a runner who's already doing it Maybe running seven days a week even maybe it's something like well on Fridays I'm going to have a really structured and great Interval workout a quality workout on Fridays, okay? So maybe that's the habit for this person. They're already running every day but they need to Get more structured about how they run and they that could be them as simple as just starting with Fridays, I'm gonna have a quality session and I'm gonna make that a habit. All right Before you know it Fridays become of this quality day of training Where and you start sort of making habits on Thursday to where you're Preparing for your Friday run. So you you make sure on on Thursdays I definitely go to bed a little bit early because I have my Friday quality run when that becomes a habit going to bed early Now you have two habits that are conductive to reaching your goal Etc. So you just you focus on habits first.  All right So if you're full of motivation now, I'm gonna wrap it up now If you're full of motivation now because it's the new year and new opportunities take that motivation and Don't put it into Exactly what you're going to do put it into habit building. All right Put all your energy into building a good routine good habits and then a few months down the line Then you can focus on the contents maybe of those habits, right of exactly what you're doing in your training, etc But first just getting the habit in there and like Des Lyndon the marathon runner says Just keep showing up. All right. So if you just keep showing up because it's a habit for you That's gonna take care of most of your Problems actually, so that's all that's all just a little talk about Habit building and then I could probably talk forever about it because I have a lot more to say also But for now, I think this is enough just sort of be aware of it focus on your habits and And work on those goals and if you want help with that, of course check out my website in the description I'm a running coach. I'd be happy to help you out with reaching your goals And you know if we can together build some good habits for you Then I can contribute by perhaps working a little bit more on the technical details about how to actually train as long as you're Taking care of the showing up aspect if you know what I mean. All right Have a great day and see you in the next video


So yeah, one of the key findings or key takeouts from the blog was get to the points. And I guess that the kind of things that raised for me is one thing, you know, look, I honestly think I look at a report and I will go to the start of the report and I will try and find what page the first, after the executive summary, what page is the first finding on. I can tell you, it's often, you know, I want it to be less, I want it to be four or five and it can be 10s and it can even be 20s in terms of people using that introduction method evaluation questions. It's a long, long time before people before you get to the findings and you can tell people, look, you don't have to read the first 20 pages, but a lot of people aren't going to take that advice. They're just going to start at the beginning and stop when they get bored. And so if you don't get to findings earlier, I think you're going to have a problem. I also think that we, you know, there are a lot of things that we feel need to be in reports, but my feeling is if they don't, if every reader slash most readers don't need to read them, it would be better to put them in an appendix or in technical reports and that might include context not needed by most readers and even any results that are not central to whatever you are trying to say. All right. So the next point is sort of related is the report length and I don't know, we always talk about this, it's keeping reports short, 20, 30 pages. It's very hard to do, I think a lot of the time, but it's, you know, I think it's a good goal. I continue to try and strive towards it's often a really, really short executive summary and can be useful for people who, you know, need to write a brief on the basis of the report, for example. So you can, that can be like a page or less. And then that doesn't necessarily exclude or rule out a slightly longer summary, which can be at the beginning of the end. So the 1, 3, 25 model is often mentioned as something people like to use. That's one, one page of, like very, very short summary. It could be like a sort of base or an infographics or something that's very catchy to the eye. And then you have the three pages sort of traditional executive summary and then you 25 pages of actual content and then your appendices at the end, which is a way of structuring up a report. And the one thing I like about that one page is within government, it is often the case that somebody is writing a one page on your report. So it often may as well be you or be people who are involved in providing that report. Okay, developing the best structure. So look, I guess my feeling on the blog set out three possibilities. Part of me thinks that I've read many evaluation reports which don't do any of those three things. And so what we're talking about is who gets gold, silver and bronze in terms of ways to structure the report. This, like Mary, I wouldn't give this one gold. I think I'd probably give it bronze, but it could work. One thing I wouldn't do though, and I have seen it, is listing the evaluation questions and then not answering them because it's so frustrating as a reader to have these questions which are often quite finely honed and then not be able to put your finger on the answer to that question. So if you go this way, I would drop the evaluation questions out of the main report. And just sort of following on from the point of evaluation questions and structuring report and I guess this point's really here about the making sure evaluation questions are evaluative. So if we're going to use them in a structure report, it's important they are evaluative. So by that we mean to so what, not what's so. So sometimes you can come across evaluation questions that are a bit how many did this program reach or questions of that nature that aren't necessarily evaluative in giving us a sense of how good was this thing or how beneficial was this or was it worth doing, which is kind of a magic of evaluation. So another thing to remind and then there's some example questions there often have process outcome and economic questions. It is important to make sure they're evaluative in the true sense of the word. Great. And then if you're using the LACD death criteria, I guess my advice would be to answer the questions that are under each of those headings, not just to talk around the criteria because again it is it can be, you know, you can have somebody say, you know, I can think of examples where you say what I want to know is whether this program is effective and they'll say we'll turn to the effectiveness section, which has pages 54 to 58. And I'll say I've read them, I still want to know whether the program is effective, you know, and that's perhaps why I agree that that evaluation questions which prompt evaluation answers is the best way to go. So if you do go this way, there are six good questions there, you know, they might not be perfect, but they're perfectly good questions. Okay. Second point of the article is to report strong findings. Hard to disagree with that. The question is how do you do it? And I guess one thing I would recommend to people is that you road test contentious elements through, which could be through a results workshop where you're doing your hypothesis development of testing or through informal meetings. The other thing I would say that this finding prompted for me is the idea that you've got to make sure that you're pushing hard enough. I think, you know, people who write reports can be keen to satisfy their clients. And I think satisfying them in the first instance could be letting them down, you know, and that you might be better off being a bit more courageous and then having some difficult discussions. And maybe you'll be, you know, I can think of reports where I've been asked to turn it down and I turned it down. But it was good to have that discussion and to know how far I could go and how, you know, when I really probably did have to stop. The other thing that's important to remember is that you've got a range of important readers and you shouldn't, it's important not to focus only on those readers who, with whom you are in frequent contact, because they are going to be the ones that want the detail and the long, and they are going to be the ones that can read a long report and want to lead a long report. But there are lots of other readers who are making important decisions based on your report who you may not be in frequent contact with. Indeed, you may never meet them, but you still need to be thinking of those users and writing for those users. So, you know, often the people who are managing an evaluation are below the director level or assistant secretary at the national government level. So, do you think of those other users, even though you may not know them and you may never know them? So, the related point is the scope and then really just trying not to, I think I mentioned this earlier, but trying to limit how many sub-questions you've got so you're not overwhelmed with the million questions that you need to try and answer. And that's just really, yeah, mainstream scopes appropriate for the size of the project and what they are collecting and people are tempted to throw in more questions and not necessarily remove them, but it's really for a report structure or a reporting, it makes your life a lot easier when you have a succinct limited number of questions you're trying to answer. Great. And then our last sort of reflection from Francis and I on the blog and what it has made us think of. I love this quote from Woodrow Wilson. If it's a 10-minute speech, it takes me all of two weeks to prepare it. If it is a half hour speech, it takes me a week. If I can talk as long as I want to, it requires no preparation at all. I'm ready now. You know, I just love that idea that it's hard and it does take a lot of work to make things short and to work out what the key messages are. I guess some advice I would offer there is make sure that there are lots of times and I have been on both sides of this where you submit a draft report where it's not really as evaluative as you would like it to be because you're still thinking things through to a certain extent and you're almost asking for feedback in this draft report. If the idea is that there is only going to be one draft report and then a final report, that's not the way to go. You do need to submit a good draft report and I know that where I'm working now, when we contract out evaluation reports, we are asking that the executive summary is in the draft report. It's not a complete report unless it's got the executive summary because you occasionally do have these situations where people will say, well, we'll do that once we're all agreed on what the content is. I can understand why people might want to do that, but it's not the right solution. I guess the other piece of advice I would give is do everything you can not to write a long report which you then shorten. It's really inefficient. It's so hard to reduce, to get rid of words and ideas that you have crafted. I think you're much better trying to start off writing a very short report and leaving things out and then considering whether you add them in. Okay, so that's some reflections we had on the basis of the blog that we wanted to share with you. What we're going to do now is again moving to a quick little groups where we're focusing on two questions. What do you think we could do? What could we do to increase the effectiveness of evaluation reporting and indeed what could you do? Is there anything else you would add to these major points that we've been discussing? There's one that we have wanted to add, but is there anything else you would like to add? So we'll probably go have a quite short group, probably about five minutes. I'll set up breakout rooms and our number of participants is, have you got it? Sorry, I mean. Yeah, that's it. I'm happy with that. Cool. Okay. Does anyone want to? It's actually, why don't you leave those questions up Francis? Just to help us. So anyone want to volunteer a summary of some of the interesting stuff from their breakout group? So I'll just say briefly that I think infographics are actually a really great way of just summarizing the report findings. And you can actually include images and quotes and key results into an infographic. So I think the 1325 model is actually pretty appropriate for actually writing up evaluation reports. And it actually reminds us to actually try and develop something fancy to accompany the main evaluation report. Yep, good one. Yep. Yes. Cool. Thanks, James. I'll pop my hand up. Yeah, we had a big discussion about it's only effective if people read it. And, and the thought that maybe only only 80% only read 20% of the report. And the more readability we talked about diagrams, dot points, good referencing all those sort of, you know, if like desktopping things are critical to make it effective and readable and particularly around just making sure that it's easy to follow with structure and all those sorts of things. Yeah, good one. Thanks, Duncan. Yes, I can think of a report I read recently where the executive summary didn't mention that the report included recommendations. So when I got to page 75, and it was 75 and saw recommendations, I was just, I was amazed, you know, and I thought if I was reading this as an executive, I might have can read that whole report and not notice that there were recommendations unless I'd looked at the table of contents. Yeah. Laila. Well, our group had, like, in addition to the, to the items or the suggestions that was given, our group also added video, video, some short videos as part of the reports, like engagements with some of the participants, if it's okay to be identifiable. And some parts, some video, short videos as part of the report could be very good or some other aspects of accessibility, like, for example, an audio file to go with the report. Yeah, infographics and images were already mentioned. So yep. Yeah. Great. Thank you. Fiona. Thanks, Ben. Our group was talking about basically starting with getting, understanding who the audience were so that we got the questions answered appropriately for the different audiences and recognizing that you can have a provider, you can have a funder, and you can have government agencies, ministers, so multiple levels of people who are interested in the report and who might want to read it, but who might have different levels of involvement in it. And the other thing that we talked about was getting a situation where people felt capable enough to say, to talk about the things that perhaps didn't work so well in order to have things that can be changed and improved for the future. Saying everything's going well is very nice, but it doesn't have any learnings out of it. So creating a culture where that was possible as part of that process. Thank you. Okay. Anyone else want to throw anything in before Francis and I give you one thing that we would add, as in anything else, to the main messages from the blog? Can I add something? Yes. So our group just at the end heard from one of the participants who was talking about, she works in an Aboriginal controlled organization as an internal evaluator, and she was talking about different ways of reporting that are not a physical 60-page report. And actually, if we're talking about the heart of the matter of being use and utilization of the findings, the different, what we haven't sort of touched on in great depth here would be lovely if we could, one day, is really going into what can you do that's not a report that can get our messages out? Yeah. Yeah. Get the messages out, but also send it back to the people who participated in the evaluation that their voice has been heard. And this is what we heard. How do we actually do that? Yeah. And do we promise it and then not deliver it? Because I think we occasionally do. Every time. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. In terms of getting back to the end users, that's a great point. Okay. Okay. Thank you. So I guess we were very happy to see recommendations in the middle of our word clouds and surprised, but happy because we just wanted to have a bit of a discussion about recommendations and how and whether to do recommendations in reporting. So I guess what we would add is that it's important to decide early whether a report is going to include recommendations, which are answers to now what questions. And I think, yeah, I think either option is possible, but whatever, and we'll come to this in the next slide, but I guess we would advise do not develop recommendations alone. You know, you will struggle on the budget budgetary and political implications. And even if you get all of that right, you cannot deliver the psychological benefits of jointly determining action. And this is a sort of I'm not I'm saying this in part because because I think it's what works best and moving to the next slide, Francis, it's also what's a very my favorite evaluator, my favorite evaluation theorist, at least, also argues. And, you know, the idea there is that we know from participatory and empowerment approaches that there's something incredibly powerful about being involved in choosing a course of action and that it gives people ownership of a decision, personal stake in it and a commitment to see it through. So even if you sort of feel that you know what the recommendations are going to be, if people got together and were given the opportunity to develop them, even if you are right, there are reasons to allow that process to occur, to facilitate that process occurring. So if you are developing recommendations, we would recommend building in a process to develop them jointly with client stakeholder input. And that can either be as the final step to a final report, an action planning type workshop, or alternatively an action planning process following the final report, in which case it could be done by the evaluators or other experts in facilitation and action planning. And the last thing we would say would you know, and it does make it more difficult when you do it in workshops, make sure that as evaluators we are speaking for the data and the findings and that recommendations, action planning workshop is not an idea, it's not an opportunity to sort of wipe the slate clean, blue sky, you know, clean piece of butcher's paper and start again, you know, it is something where recommendations can only be made as they are linked to findings. Okay, so yes, I'd like to thank you all for coming and hope you've found the blog interesting and discussing the blog interesting. A couple of other resources that I would recommend to you. Kylie Hutchison has written a short little book called A Short Primer on Innovative Evaluation Reporting and goes into a little bit of detail about the alternatives to a written report. And I'd also recommend Stephanie Evergreen's website. And the AES often runs workshops on reporting. And I can say that I think the, I haven't been to all of them, but all I do know is that the one that Anne Markowitz runs is excellent and I would recommend that to anyone. Lastly, just wanted to let you know that we meet on a Thursday afternoon. I think it's, I think it's the last Thursday of the month, but it's definitely the 24th of August next month. And that is an AES similar joint event, which is always one of our highlights of the year and brings in a range of different people from different organisations and with slightly different mindsets. And that's going to be on place-based evaluation. So thanks all for coming and hope to see you on the 24th of August.


Well, that was a bit real That's a hot mug guys. Hi guys, this is my review for Barton Fink Now this was a suggestion from one of my patreon supporters Shannon Miller the theme was films that came out 30 years ago 1991 her suggestion was Barton Fink What is this one of the earlier films that the Coen brothers did and in fact it's actually one of their most highly acclaimed From the 90s this one the pond door the highest Clean award that you can win at the cans film festival It's pretty much one of the most prestigious awards that any film can garner and I can understand why now film follows Barton Fink a New York stage writer who's invited to go out to Hollywood to write a picture for one of the big major Hollywood picture motion picture companies what starts off as kind of this interesting little adventure turns into a realization of the hellish landscape that is the entire facade that is Hollywood the butchery the narcissism the Backstabbing the highly Claimed egos the falseness of everything that is the Los Angeles in the Hollywood landscape Comes crushingly down on Barton He navigates through this nightmare this live nightmare while trying to The feet his own case of writer's block because of all of these incredibly bizarre and fascinatingly Horrific events that are happening all around him I would definitely say this is a very very good example of a black comedy Because there's a lot of parts that made me laugh out loud watching this by myself When I really probably maybe shouldn't have there's a lot of dark humor in this film It's definitely got the staple marks of everything that made the Coen brothers what they are and it's got some very great Performances John Toretto is the focus point of this film being Barton Fink being this fish out of water in this world John Goodman is his Estrained sort of very interesting yet very peculiar neighbor who has a lot more to him than you would think and then He comes across all these different writers actresses Studio heads and he just sees that no one is real. Everyone's a liar There's a lot of reasons to like this film not only from the humor or the portrayal of Hollywood But also to the underlining kind of ideas of what makes Hollywood what it is It's kind of a very big middle finger to what Hollywood used to be and technically still is Something that I also caught on to that. There's some pretty subtle yet very intriguing camera work in this there's some angles and some shifts that Make it a little bit more than just a kind of a mundane over the shoulder over the shoulder talking picture And that's because Roger Deakins is the DOP for this film And you can see that he has that creative element even though he didn't have the tech to do what he would do later on You can see the beginning of his genius in this film and I very much enjoyed the camera angles and the Photography that he does for this film especially the end the end of the movie has this climax that it's just so bananas But it's so well shot that I can't help but not just be complete all of this movie Is it a rewatchable film not entirely? I would say that you've watched it once and be like, okay You've checked that off. Actually, I'm kind of curious if it's in this No, it's not That's unfortunate that's really strange actually okay might not be in that book But it's still a very very good movie if you want to see the early start of the Coen brothers This isn't the first major film, but it is one of the first major films that got super acclaimed. I would definitely suggest watching it It's an interesting watch. It's a great insight to the early days of Hollywood as well as a little bit of the current day It's funny. It's dark, but it's funny in the end though My final rating for Barton Fink is a six out of seven. It is a very good movie is very enjoyable movie It is a very well made movie It's just not one that I would put on again and again and again Honestly, I don't think I'll ever watch it again, but I'm happy that I did and thank you Shannon for the suggestion This is a really good movie to suggest Thank you so much for that and if you guys would like a say in what I review next time in my patreon polls You can check out my patreon There's a link to it in the description below and you can consider being a supporter Otherwise guys, I hope you enjoyed the video if you did leave a like and if you're interested in more subscribe Otherwise See you guys next time.

Killian vodka on the rocks fragrance review Hey, what's up guys, it's Josh here today I want to do a little fragrance review on vodka on the rocks by the house of Killian now Central obsessions did send me a copy of this fragrance a while ago. I had never smelled the original I do feel like I have some experience with this fragrance because it smells so so similar to the central obsessions version It's a very peculiar fragrance I guess in one sense it kind of does smell like vodka on the rocks, but for me It's just kind of hard to pin down It doesn't really smell too much like any traditional notes like the notes that they listed are Coriander, altohides, cardamom, rhubarb, lily of the valley, pink rose, ambroxen, oak moss, and sandalwood Now what caught my eye originally was that it had lily of the valley, ambroxen, and oak moss, and some sandalwood So it kind of seemed like it could have some fierce type qualities because I think one of the only Fragments that I've seen the note of lily of the valley was the original fierce and you know, what's weird about this fragrance It's it's very hard to describe in one sense.  I picked up on the fierce vibe Oh, yeah I did not get this in Essential obsessions version at all. I don't know why but that makes me like this fragrance quite a bit more It definitely seems like it's Killian's version of fierce To me if it were to smell like any version of fierce and I don't know if people say this smells like fierce I don't know But it kind of smells like a little bit like the newer versions of fierce the older ones It's a little bit more musky a little bit more on the fresh notes and just really in your face This reminds me of more of like the 2010 type fierce, but Very very high quality, of course And yeah, I'm kind of blown away that I've tried this out. I set up the review I literally spray it right before the review and it smells like fierce. That's crazy to me So if I were to give this fragrance a rating guys, I'd probably give it because I smelled fierce now Probably like an 828.5 before I would have probably given it like a 7 7.5 I don't know why that fierce note was I just couldn't smell it before I also tried multiple killians like one on this hand one on this one And I would never pick up the I would never pick up the vodka on the rocks I'd always pick up the other ones now the other ones were Like more of a projection. They did have higher projection fierce can have lots of projection But at the same time it's a fresh musky So most of the versions are kind of like middle projection But if you go to something like do us it does get cracked out So anyways guys, I'll probably give it 8.5 for the smell Likeability because of that fierce vibe that I'm smelling now. I think fierce is very likable to me personally I would give it probably an 8.5 again. You know what I mean? It's not going to be for everybody I do think certain versions of fierce smell better than this But I think an 8.5 now longevity and projection is where it might take a little bit of a hit Again, I didn't really smell this very much. I'd probably give this a solid 6.5 again I might need some more testing. It might go up a little bit. It might go down a little bit To me sevens like right average. I'd put this just a hair below average But if you've been following my reviews if a fragrance is really bad I'll rate it as low as like a four to a four and a half So we're nowhere near that low or nowhere near even like a five So it's just an average projector so far guys I think this is a pretty interesting fragrance. If you're somebody who likes fierce is definitely worth checking out Personally, I would say do us fierce is going to be better than this If you're looking for a fierce type vibe, but nothing really wrong about this fragrance. It smells good I really do enjoy it and it seems very very high quality. So anyways guys vodka on the rocks I really really enjoy it secretly smells like fierce to me. Am I tripping? Am I not tripping? Let me know down below. Have you smelled this fragrance? Have you not smelled this fragrance? What is the best fragrance by Killian? I should check that one out next Anyways guys one in the road of 50,000 subscribers and I couldn't do without any of you guys help You guys are the best having a great day out here. Hopefully having a great day at home See you all in the next video. Peace
