What's up everyone takedown here welcome back to another video today. I'm gonna be giving you guys an update on my Amazon FBA journey Let's get right into this Okay, so I'm really excited because our first shipment has been sent to Amazon FBA today And I'm really excited to see what happens moving forward if you guys missed my last video talked about Amazon FBA I basically explained in that video how we are starting out what we planned on doing and shared a couple products that I purchased To send to Amazon FBA now we purchased those products back in November back for Black Friday, and we're only shipping them to Amazon now December 17th as the time I'm recording this video and I really wish we would have jumped on it sooner and shipped it sooner and tried to get some last-minute Christmas Sales before the holidays end which didn't happen and by the time Amazon gets our package It's going to likely be after Christmas, which is not ideal. It's not what we wanted, but it is okay In the last video also explains. I'm not going in on this alone I'm going in with two other co-workers the three of us We're gonna be sharing the responsibilities, and we're gonna be splitting the costs of Shipping and the products and the cost of having Amazon and Amazon sellers accounts and on top that we're gonna be splitting The profit whenever our items do sell we have a whole plan Which I'm not going to be explaining in the video because that's our personal business plan But so far so good our first package shipped today, and that's what I'm gonna be mainly focusing on Basically one of our one of the guys got the boxes for me one of the guys got the bubble wrap I supplied a bunch of the newspaper and I wanted to ship everything in it So by the time we got it That's why it was so delayed because we didn't want to pay to buy boxes or buy bubble wrap or try to buy Supplies for shipping we want to get boxes and get everything sorted and situated which we did Which is why there was such a huge delay basically The easiest thing for me was to ship it I actually thought that was going to be really hard Of course as I mentioned before I got 20 knives for us for Amazon FBA now before we joined forces for this Journey I purchased a dash cam and three blue two speakers for myself So I decided to ship them in the same box so it made it easier for me Now whenever I logged on to Amazon to create this shipment The thing for me that was the best thing that I found out for this shipment All three items were going to one location. I live in Ontario, Canada and all of the stuff We're going to go to British Columbia So at first that made it easier because all three items are getting sent to one location instead of having to split up our products But it also made it a little bit stressful Finding the shipping costs and how we were gonna ship it there. I live in Canada and I know in the US you guys have Amazon has Discounts with UPS and other couriers in Canada for the longest time we didn't so I knew Canada Post would have likely been our cheapest alternative. I checked with them. It would have cost $30 to ship this box It's about 12 pounds Kind of a small box, but still 12 pounds. So $30 to ship. I felt like that was too much I checked with UPS that was $60 to ship. I Thought that was crazy. So I checked on Amazon and Amazon Canada now offers a discount with UPS and To ship at the same location and everything else is the same I put the box information in and how much it weighs and everything on to Amazon's website It calculates the shipping costs with their discounts and it only cost me 13 almost $14. So For shipping with UPS instead of $60. It was $14. Let's say that was awesome So the first thing that I would recommend if you guys are starting Amazon FBA your first shipment Check on Amazon depending on if you live in the United States, Canada or any other country that does Shipping to Amazon if that's what you plan on doing Check to see if there is a discount with specific couriers in your area Amazon might I know in the longest time for Canada We did not but luckily by the time I'm starting to plan my first shipment with them They did so it made it a lot better of experience almost a Quarter of the cost of it what it would have cost to ship with UPS Half the cost it would have cost us to ship with Canada post and that's money that we were able to save the other thing that scared me that I keep hearing stories about is Everybody that starts with Amazon FBA their first shipment always gets declined because they do not know How to ship things they've never shipped something before and they did something wrong So it gets brought back to them and they have to fix that product and ship it again So I wanted to contact Amazon and here's what they told me number one all the items that Amazon receives need to Have a product label over the barcode and basically you print that off and it's another barcode You place over the products barcode. So whenever Amazon scans it that links it directly to your store Now if you do not have access to a printer or the supplies because they actually want stickers not just on paper and taped on the product If you don't have any of the supplies Amazon will do it for you and it'll cost 20 cents per item. So I was sending 24 items That was just under $5. We felt like that was better for them to do it for us because we do not have the printer We do not have the supplies to do it and for them to do it only 20 cents per item Yeah, we'll do that. That's a little bit cheaper for us. The other thing is prepping certain items that you send to Amazon need to have a specific prep before Amazon receives it and That's one thing I wanted to look into so I got all three of my products and I checked with Amazon and Thankfully none of the products that I was sending at this time needed any prep So you can either prep it yourself and that includes stuff like poly bags or having to prep certain items in a certain way Or you can get Amazon to do it and that will cost you a little bit I don't know the exact cost because none of mine needed to be prepped. So I didn't have Amazon do it so basically all I needed to do was With the box that we had put all the items in the box and ship it off to Amazon So I felt like that was really easy Thankfully all of the knives were able to be stacked and put into the box and some were up on their sides also And then I put the dash cam on the bottom of my three Bluetooth speakers on top of the dash cam Everything just fit in the box. So I was really happy for that But I wanted a little bit extra protection in the box So one thing I found out one thing I was originally going to do was buy a roll of bubble wrap and wrap up each item each knife individually each dash cam and Each Bluetooth speaker and put in the box But Amazon actually frowns upon that so I don't recommend doing that Putting bubble wrap in the box for added protections. Okay, but wrapping individual items It just makes it harder for them whenever they have to unpackage it And also they want it to be able to be either scanned or have a sticker on top of it that they can scan So they know what the product is So for me, I used bubble wrap just over my Bluetooth speakers and dash cam Loosely just to add a little bit protection so you can still grab the product out and it's not gonna have the bubble wrap wrapped around it The other thing is to fill in the empty spaces Some people use shredded paper some people use packing peanuts which Amazon frowns upon They do not want to receive anything with that and if they do they usually send it back to you What I would suggest a cheap alternative would be newspaper or sales flyers that you get weekly Just crinkle it up put it in the box That's what I use and it actually works surprisingly. Well, it's cheap You get the newspaper and the flyers every week for free So why not just use it whenever you're shipping instead of throwing them and put them in the recycling Just save them and whenever you have to ship. That's what I'm gonna be doing in the future Just using that you can purchase stuff. You can purchase bubble wrap. You can go and purchase boxes But that's what we did not want to do Especially for our first shipment. I got a few boxes and a few extra ones for next time I got some bubble wrap.  So the next time I have to ship I have all the stuff ready and I'm prepared to ship which makes it a little easier so the next time we go into stores and Purchase items and once we are ready to ship it. I have all the supplies ready So we'll be able to ship right away. So everything Amazon is getting from us should be Amazon should be receiving it and getting the labels on it. Hopefully Right after Christmas, that's my goal I shipped with UPS like I mentioned and UPS for me the closest one is about 30 to 40 minutes So whenever I contacted them they actually do in-house pickups So they'll drive to your house pick up your parcel and then get it shipped for you Doesn't cost you anything extra. So I recommend if there is a courier that will do At home like resident pick up for your parcel and you don't have a location nearest to you I recommend doing that because that saved me from driving 30 minutes and it doesn't cost you anything extra So for me our first shipment is ships. I'm excited. I'm hoping we get a couple sales I'm really excited to see how my products the dash cam and the Bluetooth speakers go Because that means in the future if they do really well I'm going to try to get more of that stuff and find more of that stuff Hopefully if the knives do well, we'll be able to get more in the future and send to Amazon as well So we're really excited to see what happens to see what we do in the future Again niche of ours that we want to focus on his toys But lately we haven't been able to find anything because Amazon with the sellers app whenever we scan items There's certain items that are restricted to us and that's harder for us to find items to actually send to Amazon because if it's restricted we can't sell it and So that's been frustrating certain brands like Hot Wheels Marvel Disney stuff like that which we understand So hopefully in the future, we're not going to be restricted. We can do more, but we're just getting into it So we're going to continue to do Amazon FBA. We're going to continue to do Retail arbitrage that's going into stores physically and skating looking for items and also online arbitrage We're going to be looking into that more in depth but First packages shipped I'll give you guys an update on what happens afterwards one thing that sucks I really wanted to include in this video is me putting everything in the box and getting everything ready putting the Amazon Shipping stuff putting all the information in I wanted to share that with you guys kind of like a how-to But I completely forgot Anyways, our shipment is on the way to Amazon. This is our first shipment. Hopefully we start to see sales Hopefully we start to see a little bit of profit and we can continue and use this profit for future products that we purchase This sell on Amazon. I think that's gonna be easier for us anyways And I'll share anything else with you guys Hopefully I'm gonna do some retail arbitrage in the future if you guys want me to bring you guys along and show you Guys what I do in store comment down below But hopefully we'll start to see a little bit more profits in the future and share this with you along the way So hope you guys are enjoying this Amazon journey. We are new to it as well Like I've mentioned we're learning everything out And I want to share everything along the way with what we are learning and how we are doing things and approaching things And what we're finding out the right way in the wrong way to do things on Amazon I basically just want to share that with you guys because I Hear that there's a lot of people that you can earn money on Amazon, but there's also a lot of people that do not and they end up backing out really early So if I can share our experiences and what we are doing to try to Get profit and not with you guys Hopefully that will help you guys out along the journey with you if you guys decide to take this journey as well And that's my goal for this series on my channel, but I'm gonna leave this video here. Please take care. Peace


Hello, everybody.  What I do recommend you do is go to PT Master's. Actually, I think three to four part presentation on rescue examination, which I think complements this very well. Most of the references for this actually are from up to date on examination value or PT examination value. So let's get started. I have no disclosures. So we'll do this case based. So you're called originally to the operating room by your colleague. A 56 year old man is undergoing an emergency laparotomy for a liver ulceration following a motor vehicle collision. The patient's blood pressure has acutely dropped to 65 on 45, heart rates 125, and the SPO2 is now 85%.  You have one minute to determine what's going on. What are the three most valuable views during the rescue TE exam? So here's the answer. So again, this is from the original guidelines shown the 20 images, but now it's been expanded further in the most recent guidelines. But probably the three most valuable views if you're in a hurry would be view number A, which was the metasophageal fortune review. The other views would be the view number, I'm trying to find it here, view number I, which is the metasophageal AB long axis view. And lastly, the view number D, which would be the trans-gastric mid short axis view.  The only other exception would be if there was a high clinical suspicion of a dissection, then the order views might be more worth it. When you're doing a rescue TE, you're really trying to find out what's going on very, very quickly and make a diagnosis to hopefully alter therapy. So doing a systematic approach at this point at the beginning during a crisis of little value. Once a problem is determined, then you can go back and look at the other views and do a complete 2D and Doppler examination of the heart. With those three views, meaning the metasophageal 4 chamber, the metasophageal AB long axis view, and the trans-gastric mid short axis view, you can see many things. You can see fluid around the heart or compression of the right atrium or the spectacles. You can see if there's mitral regurgitation, which be indicative of ischemia or rupture. You can also see contractility in ischemia. And again, allows you to see most of the major, actually to rephrase, allows you to see all the territories, the corner territories. And lastly, and probably more importantly, you can look at the chamber size, particularly the internal chamber size, looking for evidence of hypovolemia. So in that previous case, you're called urgent linked. What is the differential diagnosis for what's going on, hypotension, tachycardia, and low SAS? Well, this is a basic anesthesia answer, but it can be a number of things. That could be hypovolemic shock, distributive shock, cardiogenic shock, or obstructive shock. And we're going to go through these step by step. We're not going to go through neurogenic shock at this point. So let's start with the first. What are the TEE findings of hypovolemic shock? So here's a picture of hypovolemia. On the left side, you see normal lenia, and you see the end diastolic volume persists. There's no kissing of the populars. On the right hand side, with hypolemic shock, you see kissing of the populars. And also, your end diastolic volume is less. So some of the signs or TEE signs would be an end diastolic LV of liberation or kissing walls. You could get a rightward deviation of the interlateral septum. You could have a smallest IVC or do a SNF test. And you get regional wall motion abnormalities. This is for your entrance to here. You could also look at Dr. Vegas' excellent Echo textbook. These are the normal ranges for LV dimensions, volumes, and also ejection function. Now let's go to distributive shock. What are the TEE findings of distributive shock? So distributive shock is most likely sepsis. So that's the best way to think of distributive shock. And let's look at this. So again, here's a picture. I'm sorry about that. It's a slide. It's not looking very well. But as you can see here, it's very hyper dynamic, extremely hyper dynamic. And you get a very small LV cavity at end systole with normal end diastolic volumes. Again, very small LV cavity at end systole and very normal end diastolic volume stored dastole. A very important equation of it I'll calculate. And you can calculate this through Echo is your SPR. By taking your math minus your CVP, which you obtained from your central line, you can get your cardiac output through Echo through doing the continuity equation. And you can multiply that by a factor 80 that will give you your SPR. Normal SPR is between 1200 and 1600, respectively. So what are the TEE findings for cardiogenic shock? So this is a little bit of a trick question, but it actually depends on what is going on. If it's LV failure, if it's RV failure, if it's monocardial ischemia, or it's aortic dissection or injury. So this is your picture of LV failure. And as you can see here, you have an extremely dilated left frontal. And it's basically the excursion is very limited and there's basically no thickening. The EF I would describe here is probably less than 10%. So this guy or lady is an extremist. Again, there's a lot of fancy ways to quantify LV failure. But again, this is rescue TEE. Are you really going to spend time and do a 3V jelly bean? Or are you going to do M mode and quantify it?  No, you need to do this quickly. You need to use the eyeball test. Who cares if it's 25% or 20%? You need to determine whether it's a good heart or a bad heart. If you want to quantify it later to follow changes with your management, then go ahead. But in a rescue TEE, you just need to make gross determinations of function and determine whether that is the issue. These are some of the measurements that you can do in regards to evaluating LV failure. But again, eyeball, eyeball, eyeball. And if you got really fancy, you can just strain again. But again, eyeball. This next picture is RV failure. And as you can see here, the RV is not contracting very well. There are many ways to determine RV failure, but you can probably guess what I want to say. In a rescue TEE, use your eyes to not do anything fancy. Is the RV working? Is the RV not working? Or you can, again, proceed to do something more complex. Measures of RV failure are the following. Probably the most common one would be Tapsi. So Tapsi, which is excursion of the microvolve, less than 60 millimeters, is indicative of RV dysfunction. Again, you can do some other fancy modalities. But again, this is rescue TEE. And the answer always is eyeball test. Does the patient pass the eyeball test? Is the RV or the heart working? Yes or no? Is there a volume both side of the heart? Yes or no? Is there appropriate volume inside the heart? Yes or no? Eyeballs, eyeballs, eyeballs. Another cause of heart failure or dysfunction would be myocardioschemia. There are 17 segments of the heart. And basically for each segment, you want to look at endocardial motion and thickening. These numbers you will have to be familiar with for the examination. That's TJ. And a patient with a aortic dissection, you can get dysfunction for numerous reasons. One would be the dissection flap protruding through the aortic valve, all causing aortic refrigeration. Two, you can have problems with the flap dissected into the corners, particularly the right and left. And two, three, you can have, if it's extends, you can get tapping out and collection of fluid around the heart. One thing that's very important to determine is whether, what is the true luminal fulsom? I can't stress how important that is. It's not important in making the diagnosis of dissection, but it's important when you are now doing surgical intervention. Many times you need to insert cannulas in the groin, or a cannula in the axillary, and you need to ensure that it's going into the true lumen and not the fulsom. These are some of the signs to help you determine that. The difference between the true lumen and the false lumen. What I typically look for is, usually the false lumen is larger than the true lumen. And you actually look for color flow. And you can sometimes follow the curvature of the flap. And lastly, the pulsatility. And I discussed with this to you already, but AR dissections are complicated by infusions, all the dysfunction because of coronary disruption, and also you can get AR insufficiency of over 60% of the time, if it's an atraumatic dissection. Traumatic dissections, such as MVCs, typically occur closer to the takeoff of the subclavian. Or the islas. The last type of shock would be obstructive shock. And what are the T.E. findings of obstructive shock? Again, similar to my previous question, but what are the T.E. findings of cardiogenic shock? It depends. It depends whether it's a cardiac tapenade, whether it's a pulmonary embolus, or a pneumolar hemothorax. This is an example of a tapenade. As you can see here, there's a large collection that is outside the right side of the heart, particularly the right atrium, and you see some flapping of the free wall of the right atrium. Again, in the emergency echo or rescue echo, use your eyes. You don't need to do anything more fancy. Tapenade is a diagnosis, is a clinical diagnosis, but echo helps re-confirm or confirm that clinical diagnosis. If you have an unstable patient and you have a significant fluid around the heart, it's tapenade until proven otherwise. Some signs of cardiac tapenade are the following. They include clasps of the intercardiac chambers, greater than one-third systole of the right atrium. You can also have RV diastolic clasps. You get IVC dilatation without respiratory variation. There's intervedicular independence, and you can also look at some diastolic diastology through the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve, looking for changes in variations. Again, extremely hard to diagnose this, unless it's very proximal. This is a very proximal pulmonary embolus in the right PA. You can see proximal disease occasionally, but typically you have to look for more indirect causes or signs of PA. That includes RV dysfunction, the macaunal sign, which is a hypokinetic RV free wall sparing the apex, TR, moderate to severe, and as the AS I wrote goes, for bows to the left side, in about 98% of the time. The last would be hemo or pneumothorax. Again, this is an example. For the left side, just look at the descending aorta, and if you see fluids beneath it, on the left you see the lung. That's a pleural fusion. On the right side, you rotate it from your liver and lung, and you look for fluids. We're going to end this presentation with one more last question. What is the efficacy of rescue tea? It doesn't work. You probably see a running or reoccurring theme, but it depends. The most recent evidence, changed management, and 60% of the cases. In another study, it changed management in most cases, but it does help, and even if it doesn't change management, it came up with the working diagnosis, 80% of the time. The more sad part is that it's highly correlated with the autopsy. That's the end of my presentation. Again, as I promised, it's a pretty short presentation. If you have any questions, you can email me or pull me aside in the hallway, but I do highly recommend you go to PT Masters and watch the three or four presentations on rescue, they're extremely well done. Thank you very much. This ends the presentation.


So a couple of weeks ago, you all know that the Democratic Party establishment was embarrassed when their favorite candidate Elliot Engle Lost in a landslide to Jamal Bowman in New York's 16 congressional district I mean he was endorsed by Andrew Cuomo the Congressional Black Caucus I believe Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, they even brought out her dusty ass to endorse him And he still lost and we haven't got the official results yet Like we don't we don't know for sure that he won, but he won, right? They're still counting absentee ballots However, Elliot Engle is clinging to whatever hope he can find and he is hoping that if he sues New York to invalidate some of these Absentee ballots, maybe he could clinch victory. Maybe just maybe. So this is pathetic He should just concede and congratulate Jamal Bowman But he's not stopping and as Akilah Lacy of the Intercept reports more than two weeks since New York's Democratic primaries Jamal Bowman maintains a double-digit lead over Democratic Representative Elliot Engle who has filed a presumptive lawsuit Preserving his campaign's right to challenge the validity of absentee ballots with all 50,575 in-person ballots counted Bowman, a former middle school principal backed by Justice Democrats and the Democratic Socialists of America Leads Engle by more than 12,600 votes absentee ballots meanwhile are still being counted with delays caused by the historic number of absentee ballots cast because of the coronavirus pandemic around 765,000 distributed in New York City alone the Board of Elections has said it is not sure how long it will take to finish Counting absentee ballots though the Bowman and Engle campaign say they've been told that it will take until early August in New York's 16th Congressional district there are more than 12,000 outstanding ballots in the Bronx and 27,300 a2 in Westchester according to election officials among in-person voters Bowman got around 15,000 votes in each county while Engle received 9,607 votes in Westchester and 8,405 in the Bronx Westchester County officials expect they will begin counting absentee ballots for the congressional race by Monday The Bronx County Board of Elections did not respond to a request for comment But Bowman is leading absentee ballots there according to his campaign Jerry Goldfeder a long-time election law expert in New York City Is representing Engle's campaign in the lawsuit which was filed on July 1st Engle's campaign is seeking the ability to oversee the absentee ballot counting process and the right to contest those ballots Bowman's campaign has said the lawsuit would unnecessarily prolong the campaign and could disenfranchise voters given Bowman's 25-point lead a Substantial portion of the 40,000 absentee ballots would have to be invalidated for the race to tip in Engle's favor a highly unlikely scenario It is not unusual for campaigns to file such lawsuits in close races, but it's less common when the gap is so large We recognize that Mr. Bowman's lead is substantial But when the outstanding ballots are well more than three times that margin It is also clear that primary voters deserve a clear and accurate count with ballots in question examined fairly by each campaign However long that requires Engle spokesperson Tom Watson said in a statement fun fact Tom Watson actually has me blocked on Twitter, but Moving on look, this isn't going to change the result What we're seeing here is desperation in the same way that Joe Crowley Made a desperate attempt to still win after he lost the primary in 2018 This is what we're seeing from Elliot Engle if you'll recall Joe Crowley was also on the working families party ballot line So he'd still be on the ballot after he lost the Democratic primary But just running as a third party candidate and AOC called this out right He's basically trying to take votes away from her and pave the way for the Republican to win This is the same argument that you know Republican or that Democrats use Against progressives when it comes to the need to defeat Republicans, but yet an establishment Democrat was doing it to a lefty So that was desperation what we're seeing now is just more desperation He's not going to win But you know if he were able to disenfranchise voters and invalidate a sizable portion of absentee ballots that maybe Maybe tip the scales in his favor It's a possibility, which is exactly why he's doing it This isn't something that is necessarily unusual, but It's something that you would only expect If the gap was closer as the article points out But jamal bowman beat him in a landslide So the fact that he thinks that even if he's lucky enough to invalidate every single absentee ballot that he would still win Is kind of delusional, but I mean He's desperate now if the shoe were on the other foot and jamal bowman was the one who lost and was trying to invalidate absentee ballots The response would be predictable from the democratic party establishment. They would be saying Why aren't you rallying behind eliot angle? Why aren't you endorsing and supporting eliot angle and telling all of your supporters to support eliot angle? I mean do you want the republican to win? Why aren't you supporting the democrat? Why aren't you voting blue no matter who? But you see how they operate when the shoe is on the other foot They refuse to concede They try to you know find some type of sneaky way to stay on the ballot in hopes of maybe still winning possibly even though That's unlikely whatever they can do to cling to that little strand of hope that they can find That's what they're going to do And it's pathetic, but nonetheless, this is what we've come to expect from the democratic party establishment So each time we oust one of their leaders like this It really is huge and even after we oust a member of the democratic party establishment I mean the tricks don't stop, right? They still Try to find some sneaky way to undermine the will of voters. I mean we see this in elections where you know, they will Purge voters from the registration lists. This happened in new york. I believe brooklyn in 2016 They'll have closed primaries They'll try to find ways to Strip away access to ngp van of their primary opponents or in the case of debbie wasserman schultz in florida's 23rd congressional district She literally bought the web domains of her primary opponent gen perlman So she can't have her own like website with her name It's they do all of these dirty tricks and the tricks don't end the dirty tactics don't end once they lose They fight to the very end until there's no fight left Um, and it's not going to pan out in favor of ellie and go ahead to be surprised if it did But I still want to highlight it because damn this is really pathetic and embarrassing and he should be ashamed of himself Why aren't you supporting the democratic nominee elliot engel? Why aren't you endorsing and telling your supporters to rally behind him elliot engel? It's funny how unity only goes one way for the democratic party establishment


What's up everybody? Jay is here for jasperjasecasebrakes.com 1920 penny no more basketball two box break half case break random teams number three just sold out and again Everybody gets a random team in the NBA. It's a two box break half case break of course big emphasis is sneakers in the set the Sneaker spotlight and again all teams in we sold some spots straight up and then the rest of bottom in cello packs 11 and 12 So good luck Let's randomize because for names and teams Five and five ten times one two three four five six seven eight nine and ten Michael Down at Christopher Not sure but the sneakers spotlights are going pretty well no matter who it is even though even like the older veteran non Like great players ten times there. Let's go ten times here one two three four five six seven eight nine ten times Jazz down to the Hornets Michael the jazz Gregory with the war is Roger the Nets Brian last mom all Jill Mavericks Ryan with the box Zach Paul with the Pells pelicans Christopher with the pistons Jack Nick's James Cook with the nuggets Tija Raptors Douglas Bulls Jason with the net Rockets Matthew Paul with the Clippers Michael V with the 76ers Robert with the cows Ryan with the magic Brian's out of the Lakers Jack You got the wizards Matthew with the Celtics Ryan sons Michael with Pacers Ryan Redmond with the heat and thunder Mike Tower Kings Jeremy Spurs Marko trailblazers Quinn with the Grizzlies Heaven with the Hawks Steve with the T-wills and Christopher with the Charlotte Hornets All right any trades I'll give you guys a couple of minutes. I'm ready. I'm ready to do this All right, Chris. No problem. I should be coming up next. I'll go through orders after this That's a quick quick like five-minute break Yeah, calves have Kevin Porter, Jr. I'm sure there is some calves of the Bronx of maybe and You know Kevin Porter, Jr. Is a big rookie for them doing wonders another rookie, but Definitely Kevin Porter junior. I'm closing it guys. Let's do it pumped I've only done one box in the war and that was for a customer a Ryan in the personal side So pretty excited for a group break of this We're having or sorry picker teams number six is down to five left and around a number block No Chris there's another mixer filler Right next to it, which is select football. That's down to 18. I don't know if I'm gonna have enough time to do the mixture today Only because we are logging off a little early due to the curfew but I think select is about to sell out as well baseball, so I Guess I have to play it by ear Yeah, I got one or you want to leave that one here for a PYT, maybe It's at five left. All right, trying to convince me else would pack in it. So I'll just leave it One two three left four five six right. Ooh a nice roll Three it was meant to be one of those stress These are here will be for random teams number four Let's do this. Oh, Derek. That's actually a really good question because They there is some cards, I'm sure that our damage a little bit and obviously we try to obviously take these out as Smooth as possible, but sometimes they're just already damaged in the packing But I would hope they take into effect But yeah, honestly, that's that's what I would do just don't grade them just because you know, they might not have a good grade If anything those ions will grade like a 10 because they're gonna be sent because they're redemptions, right? So They might actually be sent pretty well The bottom is just a base. Oh, we've got a sneaker spotlight just no autograph though Look at that Russell Westbrook 21 out of 99 Houston Rockets when a Jason R. I should kind of like the sneaker spotlight just by itself with no autograph Carson Edwards rookie tonight and I So it takes with that one going to Matthew And you got Chris Middleton tonight and I'm for the Bucks Ryan with that one. You got Lucas Samnick tonight. I'm a little relic Spurs Jeremy and Josh Richardson tonight I Kind of prefer it horizontal, but then again vertical.

who will be your facilitator for today's session. To everybody of you who has joined, we just have a few questions, just to see the people that are attending the conference and your relationship to midwifery practice. So kindly choose for me what relationship you have to the midwifery profession by clicking on the blue poll in the lower tab. So where are you? Oh, what is your relationship in your midwifery practice? So we have eight participants so far or nine now. We're waiting for everybody to click on the arrow or their relationship to midwifery. Seek so far, so three more, perfect. So those are the results, so 29% are midwives followed by again 29% who are students, probably student midwives and then three are researchers and educators. Thank you very much for participating. We have another question that is coming through. So how many people are watching this session with you? Where you are? Again, you are free to choose from A, B, C, D and E. Is it just you or is it you with another person? How like just give us the estimates there then we'll be able to publish the results so that we can just have the numbers of how many people are listening, we'll be listening to this session. So far we have seven who are all listening to this presentation alone. One person hasn't voted, maybe it's me. So we can just publish the results. So 100% we are all watching on our own with no one in wherever we are. And the last question is supposed to be just written in the provided box. So let's get to know each other. Where in the world are you joining us from? So you answer the question in the public chat. Hopefully you're able to get the public chat box where supposed to enter those results. Perfect. So we have Scotland, Northeast of England, London, Australia and London. So here we go. Perfect. So I would like to introduce our presenter this morning afternoon or evening depending on why you're listening from. So the presenter this afternoon is Laura who is an artist, a midwife and a creative producer who is also a best activist. So Laura has passed to bring her knowledge and experiences in the arts together with Midwifery to bring fresh interdisciplinary perspectives to inform better education, practice, policy and research. Laura regularly presents at conferences, writes and blogs about best and creates interdisciplinary projects and campaigns such as Materno Journal which supports mental health and well-being through creative journaling and best care and inclusive space to talk about the significance of best for all. So welcome to this presentation Laura. Thank you very much. I just wanna make sure that I can move the slides on if you could make me presenter. Good morning everybody, that looks great, lovely. Good morning everybody. So nice that you could join us. It's a beautiful day here in London. I hope the weather is okay where you are and you're sitting there with a coffee or a tea and are comfortable gonna spend the next 30 to 40 minutes together. It'd be really nice to get any kind of interactive things going here. So if you wanna put any questions in the chat, I'll try to keep an eye on that and respond to your questions as we go along. There will also be time obviously at the end for questions as well. So as thank you very much, I'm going to pay for the introductions, very kind. And I'm just gonna go through this presentation which I've given at quite a lot of conferences recently, particularly because we've just produced a book, a journal journal book, which I'll talk to you about a little bit later. So even though this project's been running for four years, we obviously are sort of excited now to have a book which is a sort of companion to journaling and it's kind of enabled us to compile all the information together and produce a lot of new material that hopefully will be useful for people. So the project, as I said, in 2017, was started by myself and the woman on the left-hand side in the striped t-shirt is now also co-producing with me. And this group of women that you can see here in the image were part of the pilot project. They now have carried on being involved and we call them our founding mothers. So they were all mothers who had a history or a current issue with their mental health and wellbeing, particularly around anxiety and depression. And we set up this pilot group where we would come together as a group and we would go through a journaling exercise together. People would share how they were feeling, particularly through the process of doing the journaling exercise. Lots of friendships were created and as I said, this group now has stayed involved. People with lived experience and mental health issues and they help to inform the project as we go forward. This image we use quite a lot. I almost call it like a signature image and I think it sort of encapsulates what perhaps what we're trying to address through this project, Maternal Journal. So this was an image created by one of our founding mothers who was in that image before by Hannah. She came to the pilot project in her third pregnancy. This was an image that she had had taken by a friend when she was in her second pregnancy. She brought the image to the group and then she worked on top of it with using painting techniques and also printmaking techniques. And I think what's great about it is it kind of shows this whole range of emotion that she was going through at the time. But I think in many ways it represents what perhaps everybody goes through at this time of incredible change in your life from, and you go through the darker moments represented by the clouds and the rain on the left-hand side. But on the right-hand side here we have the sun coming out, the points of light, the more joyful moments. And I think that she was feeling a bit overwhelmed at the time by the darker side of life and her emotions. But what was great was also to see these points of light also represented. So we use this image quite a lot in the project as just a really good way to kind of articulate this emotional journey that not only she was going through but many, so many of us do. So what is journaling? So it might be a term you're familiar with. If not, you might be more familiar with the idea of keeping a diary or a sketchbook. So journaling is really a kind of a catch-all phrase for any type of practice that you keep regularly. You can see on the top right-hand corner there a display of journals that we actually produced from that first pilot project, which was funded by Kings College London and also brought artists and academics together from Kings College London. And you can see there the range of types of journaling. So you can see obviously people writing, drawing, also using photography, sticking things into their journal. And so it's great to often use a plain book where you can do all those kind of things. Though often people also now journal using their phones, using different apps or keep a blog. So journaling is a very sort of wide term really. So why might journaling be important of benefit to our wellbeing and our mental health and particularly through this journey into motherhood and parenting? So as I was talking about before with that image by Hannah, this is a time of incredible change for people going through all sorts of physical changes, often making changes in their lives as well in preparation to be a parent. And within that is a lot of challenge, but also opportunity for personal growth to make positive changes in your life. And so having a journal is a space where one can reflect on what's going on, a space to unpack what's happening. Also a space where one might be thinking about one's own childhood, so thinking back to how we were parented and also our imagination, thinking forward what kind of a parent, what kind of a mother do we want to be? So a lot of time and a lot of space needed for those kind of reflections, which again can be used in a journal. Also coming together in groups as maternal journals set up in a group format. So people come together in small groups from around six to 15 people and they will follow a journal exercise together and then share what they've made. So that provides an opportunity for connection with other people that are going through similar experiences with you to try to create a sense of community. Often parenting, mothering is quite an isolated experience particularly for people in kind of Western societies and therefore coming together with a community of other women, other people who are birthing, one can create those kind of connections, friendships, a sense of community. And often also what emerges from these conversations are some of the sort of more damaging cultural stereotypes around parenting and mothering particularly in Western societies where people often feel a lot of pressure to conform, they feel a lot of pressure to live up to unrealistic ideals and so sharing how we're feeling can also help to dismiss some of that. We can hear stories from other people where we realize a lot of what we're going through is perhaps similar to others, which can be reassuring. We also hear other people's stories that maybe are different to us. So we learn and we see a wider perspective on our own experience. Maternal Journal is what we hope is a safe and inclusive space. You'll notice that I'm using inclusive, gender-inclusive language. So Maternal Journal is very much for anyone who's going through the birth experience or anyone who identifies as being a mother. You don't need any creative skills. Our exercises are very simple and easy to follow. So often people feel there are barriers to their own creativity. Maybe they were told when they were younger at school or something, oh, you can't draw or you can't write. And therefore, sometimes they carry that with them and feel like they're not creative. Whereas we very much feel at Maternal Journal that everyone is creative, that creativity actually is a key part of being a human being. And so hopefully through engaging with this project where we explore all sorts of different ways of journaling, writing, poetry, collage, painting, all number of techniques, people find the creative access for themselves. So I've been talking about doing a journaling exercise together. So we have journaling guides. So we have over 80 guides that have been created by people in the Maternal Journal community. So often they're artists, birth workers, midwives, therapists that have created journaling guides. As I was saying, it could be an exercise in any form. Often they use different techniques within the guide. So you can see here, this is a guide where you're invited to draw the outline of your hand and then write inside all the things that your hand does. So that allows an opportunity for people to think about, particularly all the care work they're doing. This was a guide that was produced during the pandemic. And obviously our relationship to touch at that point was really altered. So it was also an interesting time for us to think about how we were touching people. Our access to touch was different and also the kind of care load that people, particularly mothers were experiencing at the time, having children at home, trying to keep people safe. So that's just a demonstration of quite a simple technique where it does actually involve making an image but also involves writing. You can see two examples there where people have approached it in a very different way. And that's one of the sort of delights of being in a group and sharing a work is seeing how each person will create something very particular and individual to themselves. These are some examples of other guides. So on the left hand side, we have one by an artist called Barbia Santi. It's called Revolutionary Mothering. So it's thinking about all the acts that we do and ourselves as revolutionaries and as the sort of key holders of often culture and often of legacies that we pass on to our children. On the right hand side is another guy by an artist called Helen Sargent called Altered Images. And this is where you're invited to use a found object. So perhaps use a photograph or an image you find in a magazine and then work on top of it, drawing on top and writing on top as well. Also, you could use that within an app that you might have on your phone. There are lots of functions where you can, you know, import an image and then draw or write on top of it. So again, trying to cover lots of different ways of journaling people could then work on something independently and then stick it into their journal if they're using a book form.  And again, you can see the different ways that people are journaling. So on the left-hand side, someone's actually been writing a poem. It's lovely to see there's someone with their babies. So our groups are often inclusive of children. Some facilitators will give some guidance around that. So make babies up to one. Other facilitators encourage people to bring their children whatever age. We also obviously run a lot of virtual groups where people have all sorts of caring responsibilities and they can pop in and out during the session, depending on what's going on. On the right-hand side, again, Lynn, an artist from one of our pilot groups. Again, she's actually an artist, but she had experienced post-natal depression herself and found following the exercise is really helpful for her to reflect back on those experiences. And this is an image from one of our virtual groups. So particularly during the pandemic, obviously everything went virtual. We were quite worried initially about how that was going to work because of this really important aspect of connection and community that's created within the group's face-to-face. But I think as people got more and more familiar with doing things online, as we are today, actually those kind of barriers fell away and the same kind of sense of connection was created doing an online group. And also obviously one of the benefits of doing the online group as we are today is that people can join wherever they are, that the geographical barriers are lifted. And also again, people with caring responsibilities, it makes it easier and more flexible for them to attend. This is actually a group from Argentina. So we developed a website quite early on in 2018 where we posted the format for how to set up and run a maternal journal group. So we have a page with a toolkit that has a step-by-step guide to running and setting up a group. It has lots of resources for people to use, registration forms, guidance on social media use, also photo release forms, some of our illustrations that people can use, even sample posters. So what we wanted to do very early on with this project was to democratise the process. So what has happened from that point onwards is people have set up and run groups all over the world. So we now have groups in South America, North America, Australia, all over Europe, Malaysia, Thailand, which is really exciting. So the idea was for it to be democratised. And this group runs quite regularly in Argentina. And as well as seeing all the lovely work that they've produced here, which again is very individual to each person, what's really lovely is the smiling faces and the sense that they've had an enjoyable session. This is an image actually from my journal. So we very much encourage anyone who's facilitating group to also do the exercise alongside the other participants. So we break down those kind of barriers and there is no hierarchy within the group. This was in response to one of our journaling guides which was created by a poet and a musician. And this was thinking about a soundscape. So I centred it on my experience of my second child who was in the Neonatal Unit for quite an extended period of time and thinking about how difficult that sound environment was, all the beeps and the monitors going off and the crying babies, the doctors talking to me, all the sort of plotting on the sort of diagrams and the graphs. And so this was made in response to that, which was actually really important for me. It made me really think about that experience and why it was so stressful in a different way. These are just a few more examples of journal pages. This is using collage, which we use a lot. As that other guide was saying, using a found object is often collage is a really good way to get into making a piece of work or a journal page. Again, because of those barriers, people often feeling that the blank page is intimidating. So it's great just to use magazines or newspapers or even greetings cards. You might have kept wrapping paper, anything cutting up and starting to stick things together onto the page and then working into that yourself with your own images and your own text. This is another page actually by Sam, our co-producer when she was pregnant and she was experiencing a lot of anxiety. And she was talking here on the right hand side about this idea of the baby brain. And so that was something we then started talking about in the group and I could chip in there as a midwife and talk about how actually a lot of new research now is showing that mothers and people at birth, their brains actually developed during pregnancy. So to really dispel some of those kind of negative associations that somehow when you become pregnant or a mother that somehow you actually lose capacity whereas actually it's the opposite. Another key aspect of the project is to link people into the history of journaling as a feminist practice. So one of the reasons for this really is that keeping particularly a diary was an acceptable form for women to do often in our sort of societies when being an artist, a journalist, a writer, a poet was not as easy or as acceptable as it is now. There were more barriers to this. And so keeping a journey was an acceptable way for women not only to explore their creativity but often to express social and political views. And so you'll find that quite a lot of published diaries historically were written by people who were thinking of the reader. So they were expecting and hoping their diaries that would be published. And so there is this very sort of strong tradition of particularly diary keeping for women. You'll often see it now I think in a not necessarily such a radical form but often girls there are lots of sort of diaries on the market often with little padlocks and things like that. So I think there's this legacy of diary keeping particularly for women that we can tap into. However, as I say, many of these diaries were very important social documents on the right hand side. Ida B. Wells, a very important American campaigner and suffragist and diarist. So her work is a really important social document of her time on the left hand side. Virginia Woolf, very well known 20th century writer. She actually kept a diary throughout her life as well as she did publish her work as well. Obviously important plays and novels as well. She was an important cultural figure but if we look at her diary it's very interesting in the way she talks about it. She felt more relaxed in her diary. It's obviously an account of her life which is interesting. And also she talked about how actually the craft of writing it helped her by keeping a diary. She could be more informal. She could play with her craft. So there are also really kind of interesting diaries and journals kept by artists as well as by other important and also by everyday women who are documenting their lives as again gives us an insight into the time. And at the moment, there is an explosion I would say of accounts of motherhood and parenting. Another reason why perhaps that voice is not so seen in the history of literature and art is that it wasn't considered an important subject and that's why it's often absent. However, now I think it's really exciting to see so many accounts of motherhood and parenting from all sorts of perspectives. And that is a rich resource that we tap people into and on our website. And in the book we have, you know, quite extensive kind of recommendations, reading lists not only looking back historically at those diaries but lots of contemporary work. Here there's a range of, you know, accounts of motherhood through poetry, through graphic novels on the right hand side and also through obviously more conventional accounts as a memoir. And this is one of the artists that we have involved in the project who's a well-known poet Tolu and she's published a recent wonderful volume of poems last year locating strong women. So this is the kind of caliber of people that we have that has created guides for us. So particularly through them creating guides for us hopefully you then get introduced to their work as well. And in the book more extensively we have examples of many of the artists involved in the project. So they've given us permission to publish some of their poems, some of their artworks so that also you can be inspired by their work as well as follow their journaling guide. So yeah, just a little bit more about the book. So it was published last year as I said we were able to commission new journaling guides by a whole range of artists and birth workers. So we actually have 80 guides in there ranging from as I say poetry, writing, collage. There's even some guides that involve dance some craft techniques. So hopefully we have lots of ways for you to find the sort of guides that you want to try. We've got lots of indexes at the back of the book so that if you can look up all the poetry guides all of the dancing guides, all of the writing guides if you want to, there's an index also of time. So we make recommendations, this guide might be only five minutes, 10 minutes up to an hour. Though all of the guides are flexible so you could choose to spend longer on them if you wanted to, obviously you can repeat them. It's often quite interesting to repeat guides and see how your experience is changing. And that's one of the sort of, in a way aspects of journaling or diary keeping is that it's a document of a particular time. Many people keep journals and diaries throughout their whole life and we certainly hope that by being introduced to that you will keep it as a practice for yourself to benefit you and your mental health and wellbeing throughout your life. But sometimes people choose to keep a diary journal for a particular time, often during pregnancy or the first couple of years of motherhood. And it's then very interesting to look back and see what you were feeling and thinking at six months ago, a year ago, two years ago and then where you are now. So sometimes repeating guides can be really interesting because they kind of chart that change. As I said, we have examples of artworks by our artists as well which are nice to be inspired by and a bit more about the history of journaling, a bit more about how journaling and creativity can support mental health and wellbeing and then a whole load of resources with, you know, books we suggest you look at, organizations that support mental health and also creativity. So hopefully it's a good resource for people who want to journal on their own. It's like a companion for them to keep dipping into over time. And also if you're interested in setting up and running a maternal journal book group, obviously it will give you all the information you need. It's also a great resource to recommend to anyone that's in a group with you. Also a really nice gift actually. We find a lot of people are giving it to friends and relatives, particularly when they're going through pregnancies. So that's really all I was gonna say in terms of the presentation. The information here is how you can find out a bit more about us and follow us. So we're on social media at maternaljournaljrnl, not the full word, unfortunately, that was taken by someone already. So we regularly post on Instagram, Facebook and also on Twitter. So we regularly post, you know, what we're doing. Often we're running free sessions for people that you can join. We also have our website maternaljournal.org where as I said, the whole format for how to set up and run a group is available for free. We also have up to 30 guides that you can use for free that are on the website. You can download them or use them for reference. We've also got a groups page which shows you all of the current groups that are going on all over the world. So there you can contact people or get information about what groups are running currently if you'd like to join them. As I say, many, many of them now are virtual so you can join them wherever you are in the world. And if you're interested in getting a copy of the book, it's available. It was published by Pintra Martin which is a small specialist publisher in the UK that publish a lot of books about birth, a pregnancy and also yoga. You can get it via Pintra Martin but it is also available on Amazon, Hive. And if you just put maternal journal book, it'll come straight up and be easy for you to find. So yeah, I'm really happy to answer any questions that you might have or any points of interest. So please do put any of your questions in the chat on the left there. Someone's asked for the link. So yeah, so maybe if I go back, can I go back to the last slide? I think I've lost the facility to go back. Could you just put me back to the last slide before? Ah, let's see. There we go. So that's all our information. And then if you wanna know more about me, I have a website as well, laurigofreasics.com. And you can find out information there about the sort of other presentations that I do, other publications that I'm involved with and other projects that I run such as Birth Cafe, which is another sort of open format group format where people are invited to come along together and talk about their relationship to birth. And that could be anyone because I think it's really interesting to try and set up spaces often where people can talk about birth, they might have given birth themselves, but obviously we've all been born. So we all have a birth story and we all have a relationship and we also don't often have an opportunity to talk about that. So that's another project that I run. Yes, Sheila, you asked for the link. There you go. Thanks, Ali. These look amazing, brilliant. Could I maybe put a question to those that are here? Does anyone journal at the moment? Does anyone keep a journal or a diary at the moment? I think a few people, my diary usually lasts less than a week, okay? Yeah, I mean, I think the thing about journaling, yes, but not in a structured way. Yeah, I mean, I think some of the sort of other types of journaling kind of groups and organizations or movements such as you might have heard of the artist's way, which has been very influential way of helping people to have a regular practice do suggest sort of ways of journaling. And often they talk about morning pages or a daily practice. What we do have on our website and in the book as well, what we have is our sort of top tips for journaling. And what we try to talk about there is really find people finding the way that works for them. I think it's important that journaling doesn't become another sort of stick that we use to beat ourselves with. So it shouldn't feel like homework. For some people, keeping a daily practice is important at works for them, but for many other people, myself included, I prefer to just journal or use my journal when I want to and that's one of the reasons that we talk about the guides of different lengths, particularly aware that people with young children or babies particularly often have very, very little time to themselves and very little time for their own creative life. And so it's more realistic to, you know, perhaps suggest a five minute guide and for people to find that point in the day for themselves, it might be when they're feeding a baby and they're writing something on their phone with their thumb or it could be, you know, when the baby's having a nap or it could be when someone else is helping them with their care work or it might be that they can build time into their week when they say, right, this is the time when I'm gonna have some creative time for myself. So I think it's important people find the way that works for them. Some of our other tips would be, like I was talking about with those journal pages, thinking about sometimes starting with college could be really good way to get over that sort of blank page phenomena, sometimes using other found objects. Sometimes, you know, just many of the guides will give you pointers, they'll give you techniques that you can then take forward on a regular basis. I really like that hand one, for example. That could be something you repeat and try lots of times. Oh, thank you. Today's gonna start keeping a journal, brilliant. So I think often, you know, within our own professional life we're encouraged to keep a reflective journal. And I think that sometimes, however that again can kind of create barriers where people feel like the only kind of sanctioned way to keep a journal or to be writing is in this quite structured kind of reflexive way of following, you know, a certain type of model. And then hopefully what our guides do is they open up all sorts of different and creative ways of journaling, which maybe, you know, are not gonna be present in such a kind of educational or sort of context. And we have actually had a lot of groups run by student midwives, where they've used our guides for to sort of support their reflective practice. We've also run groups for perinatal mental health services. So even though our groups are generally recommended for people, anyone that's birthed or if you want to focus it around mental health for people that have mild to moderate mental health issues, we have run groups in perinatal services for people with more serious mental health issues where we've worked alongside occupational therapists or specialist midwives that have the degree of training and expertise to support a group like that. And we also offer training to people in that situation. We also offer training. I often run training sessions for people that are setting up and running groups where they've got funding, perhaps from the NHS or from the Lottery or the Arts Council or other funding bodies we have in the UK particularly. And then we can run training sessions for those people online normally in order to just introduce them to the format, give them a bit more support, alongside obviously all the free kind of resources we have and the toolkit that we have online, which most people use independently. Though we're always available on email. So if you go to our website or if you go to us on social media, you can contact me and I'm very happy to set up individual Zoom sessions or phone calls, which I do quite commonly with people who just have particular questions or particular situations that they want to discuss a bit more fully. So we're always really happy to offer that for free. Our training sessions, we do ask for a fee for that. So those are available for people if they've got funding. We have quite a lot of groups that are running quite big scale maternal journal projects around the country and the UK. So we're supporting those at the moment in Devon and particularly in Wakefield, which is in north of England. We've also got some exciting developments in research. So we're working with Professor Deborah Bick who's based in Coventry now at the Warwick Clinical Trials Unit. And we're running in the autumn a trial for maternal journal using and I've trained midwives in Coventry, which is in the Midlands of the UK. And they will be working with a group of people who are identified with mild to moderate mental health issues. They'll go through an eight week maternal journal course and then we'll have a controlled group of people who have standard care. And so we'll be collecting data which will be really exciting because even though we've run projects as I said in perinatal mental health services without that research and data we really hopefully very exciting to have that data in that formal way so that we can hopefully then look to have this as a more common intervention within particularly the NHS in the UK. So yeah, lots of exciting stuff going on and we see maternal journal really as a movement. So we're here me and Sam kind of as the producers but what we hope as much as possible is that all the resources are available for people to take out and disseminate and own for themselves so that that's the way that it has really grown now as a sort of international movement. So yeah, I mean if there's not any more questions just to say please do get in touch if you're interested to know more or you want to discuss with us any training or just in a more informal way setting up projects where you're located. Some people have started to translate the guides into other languages. So we've got a Japanese group at the moment that are translating the guides. We've got our group in Argentina who've been translating the guides. So it's also would be really exciting to have more of that going on so that the English hopefully isn't so much of a barrier. Oh, Bupé you have some questions? I have three questions Laura, go for it. Yeah, so the next question is with regards to starting probably journaling clubs with the actual practitioners like for instance the midwives. Have you thought about that? So doing journaling with midwives was that your question? So you were breaking up a bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I said quite a lot of student midwives have used maternal journal resources. They've set up groups. There've been sessions at King's College London where I trained for the student midwives. And I've actually done quite a lot of taster maternal journal groups at midwifery conferences where most of the participants were midwives. And then quite a lot of people have picked that up and then gone and set up groups with women that they're looking after. But what was really interesting was in some of those sessions a lot came up for the midwives actually often their own personal stories that they haven't perhaps reflected on. I remember one particular midwife doing her journal page about a birth that had happened 20 years ago. And it got very emotional. And so I think that it's definitely a technique that can be very useful for individual midwives who want to explore their own experiences and have their own creativity supported. And I think a lot of the techniques can be used with student midwives as I said to support a slightly more creative approach to reflective practice. And what has been the impact of our journey with the participants that you've had? Have you shared stories with them about how they felt being part of the journal journey? Yeah, I mean, we have a lot of wonderful feedback, you know, lots of wonderful quotes and we do collect feedback. So part of our toolkit, there are links to online feedback forms that we encourage people to use. And so generally the reaction is incredibly positive. I think people feel that it supported them with their mental health and wellbeing. It's a being of benefit to them. And I think that it's kind of multifactorial as I was trying to sort of outline is that, you know, being creative, there's a lot of research around the benefits of any kind of creative practice. So I think, you know, the creativity, fostering that in people, supporting man people is a very established way of supporting people's mental health and wellbeing. And we can see this being taken on now in the UK with the sort of movement for social prescribing, art on prescription. So it's very identified and very known the benefits of that. I think moreover, journaling is a practical way of being creative when you have little time and when you're under pressure as most parents are. And so the techniques very much are based around that. So having a book, you know, which you can just open and do something in quickly and close, it can also remain a private thing quite easily and that book for you, you don't need expensive resources, you know, all of our materials are things you can pick up in a, you know, pound shop or a supermarket. And the book itself or even just using your phone is hopefully also makes it affordable for many. But I think the other aspect of it is the psychosocial support that you get through particularly coming together in a group, whether that's online or face-to-face. But even if you're journaling on your own, then you can, you know, share what you're doing on our social media and it's a very supportive community where other people will comment and, you know, it's our groups and our movement is about supporting people. It's not about in any way any judgments. It's not about having a sort of crit of your work, like it's an artwork, it's about celebrating whatever anybody does and supporting them to take that further. So yeah, I think the benefits are very broad of being involved, you know, in maternal journal, but in terms of picking up on our techniques and hopefully taking them forward in your life. So what will be really interesting with the research is that hopefully we'll get a more kind of formal recognition of that and we'll get data, you know, which will then be able to, you know, provide that more formal evidence of the benefits. I was wondering if anyone would mind if I took a picture of the screen, would that be okay? Just to... It's okay with me. Is that okay? Yes, thanks. Brilliant, brilliant. I don't know if there are any other questions we're gonna wind up now. Okay.


And we hear the CES 2020. Hello everyone. Glad to see you again at CES 2020. And who are you? It's Joe Zhang from Fiverr, the brand. Our company name is Fiverr Pro Technology. This time we demo our award-winning cables. And you can see we have many different types of cable. HDMI 2.0, HDMI 2.1, and we also have USB cable and display port cable. All type of bandwidth cable we made with fiber-optical cable. So different with other regular fiber-optical cable, our fiber is very special. We call it robust fiber. So it can bend extremely like this, even 180 degree bending. And so you don't need to worry about broken memory or normal use. And you also can see many awards we get from the US and Japan. And yes, the award is, you can see we have high performance and high quality cables. That's why we get those awards. And you have a full 2.1 certification? Yeah, we prepare for HDMI 2.1 certification. So that means there will be no interference, full bandwidth, 48 gigabits? Yeah, 48 gigabits, yes. And which one is that? We call it the Ultra 8K. And you also can see the fibers through the window. When you're plotting, you will see a very dim blue light here. It's very cool. So people are checking out the cables more often than any other cable? Because it's like cool to check out the cable. Yeah, you know, we have regular cable and also we have a real design cable. So yes, it's not just a cable, it's also an adcode. So it looks cool and high performance. Right. Is the market very big for fiber HDMI cables? Excuse me? Is the market big? Market big. Is it a big market for people to use fiber and HDMI cable? Because even it's going to be bigger now with HDMI 2.1. Because maybe more bandwidth is always better to use fiber, no? Yes, yes. As we know, the bandwidth of passive cable, they have limited. So the optical fiber cable, we can see it can extend long distance and high bandwidth. As we know, the 100 gigabit AOC is very normal use in data centers. So I think it's either for fiber cable. And is it stable? Yes, it's stable. And you do short also? Is it only for long? Yes, we can make from 1 meter to 100 meters. So also the same quality and same performance and also same stable. And where is factory? I see in China, Wuhan. We call it Chinese Silicon Valley. Because our mother company, our parents company will already be the number one fiber optical manufacturer in the world. So how many kilometers they make every day? I'm not sure. I can't remember. 1,000 kilometers per day? I can see more than that. I don't know. So much cable? Yes, many, many cables. What's the material to make fiber optical cable? It's hard to see, but it uses gas to make it into a very big platform. Sorry about that. I'm not good at that. So there's gas, some specific materials? Yes. And Wuhan and your company is the biggest expert? Yes. You can see we are the number one fiber optical cable manufacturer. So technical and I'm not familiar with fiber. Very interesting. Because the whole world needs this? Yes, especially the 5G is coming. I think fiber will replace the passive cable.
