Hello everyone, this is Kim Doherty, and I'd like to welcome you all to our webcast slash workshop this evening. We're going to be focusing on connecting who you are with what you do and and to put this into a context that might be more familiar to you. I don't know if any of you have ever had that experience of someone telling you in a relationship or either you're breaking up with them or they're breaking up with you. Really it's not you, it's me. Well, when it comes to understanding your relationship with a job, a lot of times it is very similar to that. So we're going to look at how to do the best job we can of matching up who we are and what we have to offer in a job situation with the jobs that allow us to thrive at our highest level of contribution. So just very quickly, why is it important to do this? Here's why I think it's important. When you think about a career, you're looking at a really long sort of horizon of time of engagement of activities of different employers, different experiences. And what we hope is that over that amount of time and change, we get closer and closer to being in our ideal best fit job. So when we go through the process we're going to talk about tonight, what it helps you do is to understand what work is best aligned with who you are. It'll help you understand what's working and what's not working and that's really important because it's easy to mistake. I'm not happy in this job and therefore I don't like this kind of work with actually I'm great at this type of work, but it's the environment that's not working for me. So we're going to sort of suss out what the differences are there. By being able to do that, you can understand better how to fix what's not working for you. And especially important because my guess is you may go through a number of career transitions, the more you know about what works best for you, the more effectively you will be able to navigate those career transitions. So here's what we're going to cover today. Types of self assessments and how to use them. Top 10 ways to explore what your best fit career opportunities might be, and then how you can use those preferences once you're able to identify the ones that are relevant to you. How you can use those to help you shape your career choices and paths. So hopefully this will get you closer and closer even while you're in the grad school program to the types of career choices that are the ones that you will be best suited for and happiest with. So here's the bottom line. Yep, you are special. Not like in a snowflakey kind of way, but special in that you have unique attributes, capabilities, strengths, those kinds of things that mean you're different in terms of what you can contribute. But also what will help you thrive than the other people in your lives or the other people you're in classes with or the other people you work with. So as you think about how do we figure this out? My first point is that it's an ongoing process. You will change in terms of who you are, what you need from your job, what your personal preferences and priorities are over the course of your career. So what you would be looking at now would be responses that mark a point in time in your life and your career. The reason I think this is really important to point out is that what you learn in grad school is a starting point. It's a starting point for your knowledge base, but it's also a starting point for you as a professional, and you are going to continue to grow with every experience you have. So if you look at personality assessment results, you consider strengths and weaknesses and all. I'm sorry that I left weaknesses in there, but we'll get to that. So as you think about personal preferences, those are the ones that best suit you today. Assume that 10 years from now, they could look very, very different than what you would consider or the results that you discover as we go through this process right now. Additionally, one of the most important things you can be doing while you're a student is thinking about your responses to your courses, because they will help you understand.  And one of the things in terms of figuring out who you are that you can be doing right now and it's the easiest thing of all is just start noting your course responses. So what are personality assessments, I'm going to guess that most of you are familiar with at least the Myers Briggs type indicator. I think all of us probably get those in high school, if not undergrad programs. But if you haven't, this is a description of the kinds of characteristics that it assesses this extroversion, introversion, sensing, intuition, etc. Here's a temperament test has another four types of categories. The true colors personality test is another type that's been a little bit debunked, but if you love doing assessments, you might want to check that one out as well. And then the big five personality traits is the one that seems to be used most frequently in academic settings. I also, in addition to the career coaching work and advising work that I do for San Jose for the high school, I also teach a number of courses online courses for other programs. And in one of those courses, we use the big five personality traits. That's what the requirement is. And because we've used that, I want to make this additional comment about any of these personality assessments. They've been around for a long time, and they tend to associate a negativity or positivity with these characteristics or the results of your assessments. And I want each and every one of you to understand that that is not the case whatsoever. That anything that you discover through a personality assessment is simply an indicator that gives you information that will make it easier for you to grow into your best self and to identify the environments within which you will thrive. Being an extrovert or being an introvert has no impact whatsoever on your ability to have an incredible career and to make wonderful contributions and do work that is terrifically rewarding for you. Similarly, agreeableness or neuroticism, which are big five personality traits, take into in some situations and take into some degrees can be strengths or they can really trip you up. Neuroticism sort of in the mid range is actually attention to detail and being very conscientious. So when we talk about personality assessments, I want to make sure that you understand they are simply indicators. Similarly with another concept that you may hear knocked around or spoken of regarding personality assessments, and it's your strengths versus your weaknesses. I tend to believe that it's not really weaknesses. They aren't really weaknesses, but it's not what your best stuff is. So when you read these books, what you will find is I am instinctively inherently really, really good at some things that probably honestly, you're not even aware of at this point. But the other things that you're not as good at are not weaknesses, they're just not your strengths. And we want to help you create a career where to the extent and degree possible, you get to focus on your strengths, because playing to your strengths, or creating a career that lets your, let you bring your strengths to the environment, to the workplace, to the work that you do is when your career gets really fun and really rewarding. So now let's look at your personal preferences. You may or may not have thought of these in these categories before, but usually this is how I approach it, or approached it when I was thinking about the kind of career that I wanted to have, I wanted to do my LIS work that I wanted to do. So, none of these are likely to be, I'm totally over on this side of the spectrum, or totally I couldn't stand to do that. But you're going to find that you tend to lean more towards one than the other. And all you want to understand is where do you lean. I'll take them apart a little bit, but very quickly the generalist versus specialist. If you are in grad school, you're likely to have found, if you've taken a number of courses so far, I really want to do 400 things that I have been exposed to right now.  You have found your happy place, and so that's one way to think about these. Neither being a, excuse me, being neither a generalist nor a specialist is a good or a bad thing. It is simply understanding where you will be happiest in terms of how you pursue your career. Okay, so now let's take a look at workplace environments. Here are some of the kinds of questions that you will ask yourself about what do I want in my workplace environments. Here are some different ways that people manage or structure organizations and work environments, and my guess is if you either think about where you're working now, or where you have worked previously or might want to work, the kind of career you might want. Some of these will really jump out at you as this would really work for me, this wouldn't. For example, a lot of the students that I work with feel it's really important to have their voice included in decision making, no matter where they are in the organizational structure. If that's important to you, that's one of the things that you want to find out about in a job interview. Another question would be a level of formality. For example, in my experience of academic libraries, I found that there was a very sort of rigid level of formality between tenure track and non tenure track between those who held two masters degrees or only an MLIS, as well as those who had say a PhD. I don't thrive in workplaces or work environments where there is a high level of formality. So academic library which could be a librarianship which could be terrific for other people is not something that would work for me. Amount of direction. I'm guessing some of you have had a micromanager at one point in your life. And so that's that's a question about the work environment. What is the management expectation, what is the workflow like that works for you. For example, again using myself because I've had so many different jobs and worked on so many different projects, all in the information world. I tend to like project work. So I like that ramp up of intensity in a project. I like I love the teamwork and I love the collaboration. But then I love when it wraps up. And it's a kickback and a breathing space and then there's another project. Other people really don't thrive in that kind of a workflow. They prefer a steady predictable sort of environment where when they get up on a Monday they know what their week looks like. And they know that that's going to be in their comfort zone. And that's what works for them. That's how they can contribute their best performance. Scheduling is the same thing. Some people thrive on a more unpredictable schedule. Some people a more predictable. And the bottom one the really big one is how important it is to you and we'll go into this again a little bit deeper just a minute. But how important is it to have a work life balance friendly employer. That becomes very, very important when you have family commitments, or it's very important if you have a really active dynamic personal life. These are the kinds of things you want to think about for your own preferences in terms of workplace environments in terms of interpersonal dynamics. Some people love a close working relationship with their colleagues. This is the group that goes bowling every Thursday night together. Other people want to have more of an arms length relationship with their colleagues where there's less information exchanged. There's less emotional connection. It's let's come in, get our jobs done, because we've all got other stuff outside of the office that we want to focus on. Neither one is good or bad. They're simply the nature of what works best for you. And what are you looking for? What is your response to intense interactions? Some people thrive on an intense workplace where there's a lot going on. There's a lot of drama, but let's say energy. Some positive, some negative. This is very much the case when it's a startup. So if you are thinking about a workplace that might be out of a school, public or academic library setting, LIS skills are very valuable in businesses or nonprofits, lots of different organizations, but some of them come with very intense workplaces. And so you need to think about the tradeoffs of, here's a real cool job opportunity, but oh my gosh, these people are loony tins and they would drive me crazy. So again, your personal preference. And again, also these may change depending on the circumstances in your personal life. The one that we're all familiar with, which is extroversion versus introversion, do you draw energy from people or from solitude? That will help inform a decision you might make about whether you think you can handle eight hours on the reference desk or eight hours by yourself in a back office doing cataloging, for example. For people who thrive on solitude, one is great. For people who thrive on public, a lot of people interaction, the other is great. Again, probably a balance somewhere on the spectrum, either way between those two extremes, but something to consider based on what you know or learn of yourself. Similarly, do you like to be a collaborator or do you like to work independently? Even though I classify or qualify as an introvert, I love collaborating. That's one of the reasons I love project work. So there aren't any black and whites here. There are only what have your experiences so far told you about yourself or what can you learn about yourself so you have a better understanding of what works for you. Okay, so now let's look at job specific considerations. And by the way, I am terrible at presenting and monitoring the chat function as well. So if you have questions for me, please don't hesitate to post those questions and I will be happy to answer them at the end. And or you will have my email at the end and I am absolutely on call for all of you. Excuse me 24 seven while you are going through the iScope program or afterwards. So I'm sorry I should have told you that at the beginning, but anyway, if you have questions, go ahead and post them. All right, so job specific considerations. I would would break down as if you are not well, I would say, including libraries as industries. What industry will you work for? What organizations what types of organizations within those industries? And for those employers, what are your personal deal breakers? These are the things, the considerations that you want to be aware of that say to you everything else about this job might be good, but this one characteristic will not work for me and therefore this is not a job I can take. So thinking about industries, there are thousands, because there are hundreds of industries and then there are sub sectors within those hundreds of industries and just a million different types of work and jobs you could have within them. But there are some considerations that might be wise for you to think about when and if you think about is this an industry that appeals to me? The first thing is, is it well well represented where you want to live? That means, if you're in Northern California, and you want to go into the publishing line, using your your information skills in publishing, how many publishing offices or companies are there in Northern California, because that will give you an idea of how many job options will be available for you. So I would encourage you to look for industries that have a big footprint wherever you want to live. That might be where you are now, or it might be someplace that you want to move to. I would recommend industries that are growing rather than contracting. An example is that at one point in my career I was working for the CEO of a cable television company, and I was in a position to watch the cable industry grow from 400 operating companies. Down to, I think there are now 10 operating companies. So happily, I realized really early on that I really didn't like the cable industry. And so I moved on to other professional career pursuits. But if I were looking for a job in cable television, I would be really out of luck right now. So if you think about industries where you want to invest yourself in growing your knowledge base, look for an industry that is growing rather than one is that is contracting. Again, for example, I'm in Colorado where the cannabis industry is growing off the charts. The growth is exponential. So far, there's not enough money in the industry, and they're not big enough to realize, boy, they really need LIS skills. But that's the kind of thing that you're looking for. In addition, you want to make sure that if you're looking at an industry, it doesn't have major competitive or regulatory threats that might force it to start contracting. The bottom one is really important, and it applies to libraries, as well as to other types of industry jobs. You want to look as far forward as you can and and make your best guess or do some good research about this is the kind of work I want to do. But is this the kind of work that can be outsourced or automated to someone who's cheaper than I merit in terms of what my skill level is. In libraries, I don't think there's going to be a lot of this happening. I think there will be a little bit of it happening. But we know that what people, one of the things people value most about libraries is the personal relationships. So I don't want to panic any of you, but if you're going outside of say school, public or academic libraries, and you were going to work in a different type of organization, everybody needs in any field needs to be looking at the automation, the AI issue. Okay, types of organizations. Again, now we're going outside of our library world. You could consider a consumer, a business or a community facing organization, a community facing organization might be a civic organization in your, in your, your town or your in your city. A business facing organization is what we call B2B, business to business, and that might be working for an LIS, a library vendor who sold it to or worked with library consortia or large library systems that that is business to business. Those jobs could be sales, but they could also be product development, they could be account management, they could be competitive intelligence, they could be market research. So that's what a business to business organization looks like consumer facing is is the kinds of things where something is selling directly to you as a consumer. There are actually usually lots of fun to work for because they need to be really creative and they have wonderful marketing campaigns and things like that. But, but that's one way of thinking about what focus you might have. Another one is, do you want to work for a nonprofit, a for profit, or a B Corp. B Corps are types of corporations that are for profit. They're fairly recent on the scene. What they are is corporations that have agreed to a certain set of criteria and standards in terms of aligning their work and their products with socially, they social facing values. So they're looking at climate justice, they are looking at social justice, they are looking at DEI impact, all of these different things. So B Corps are sort of a combination of what a for profit might be doing in terms of really cool innovative products and services. And what a nonprofit might be doing in terms of really serving humanity and society and the community. Another type of organization you might want to consider is a government agency. And this is not just like the CIA. This is like NOAA, the National Ocean Ocean, the Ocean and Atmosphere guys, or the Parks and Service, or the Presidential Libraries. There's all sorts of interesting government agencies that use information skills. But another question around all of these is startup versus established or mature organization. If you were one of those people who said, I don't mind doing something that's really intense because I like seeing something from the very ground up. You would enjoy a startup. On the other hand, if you want to make sure that the company that you're going to work for or the organization is actually going to offer you sort of a long term path, should you want to stay. At that point, you're probably looking at an established or mature organization that's been with us for say, at least 10 to 15 years. And this is a voice of experience because I have been an executive in three different startups, all of which have gone belly up. So I wouldn't have given up any of the experiences ever. But it was okay for me to do that because at that time I was not supporting a family and I had the freedom to sort of take that risk. So things to think about for what types of organizations. Other things. Do you want to work for a local organization which is likely to have a strong community footprint? Or a national organization which is likely to offer you greater career growth? Or an international organization which offers even greater career growth, really interesting opportunities. But as one of your faculty members, Scott Brown will tell you, because Scott works for an international organization, it may mean that you are up taking a zoom call at two in the morning. So you can all be on each other's same time spectrum there.  Benefits to each one, a large organization is usually more hierarchical and less innovative. A small organization, however, can become claustrophobic if there's not enough support for innovation and growth. Do you want to work for a mission driven organization? That can be very important for those of us with information skills because it's important to us that our information be used to have a positive impact on the world around us. I feel that really strongly and that has, for example, driven a lot of the career choices that I have made. On the other hand, I have also, when I was supporting a child, made choices based on is this job financially lucrative because I need to be supporting a child and putting money away for college tuition. So all of these are questions again for you to ask yourself at this point in your career, knowing that 10 years from now, 15 years from now, 20 years from now, all of your answers might be quite different. Now for those individual deal breakers, these are things that may come up in jobs that you're looking at or potential career opportunities. Are you willing to do evening or weekend work? Are you comfortable with a changeable, unpredictable schedule? Will you need to undertake additional training? Are you willing and able and or able to work extra hours? Are you willing to focus more on your job than your personal life? For a lot of us, the answer will vary depending on what our personal life looks like. What other commitments do we have? So again, this is going to change sort of as you go through your life. But here was my personal deal breaker. When I worked for the startups, it was expected that you be available 25 hours a day, seven days a week to the CEO by cell phone. He was not to put, to find a point on it, somewhat mercurial and unpredictable. So he was likely to be calling people at two in the morning or four in the morning or, you know, while you were at your child's wedding or things like that. And so when I was asked to take that job on, I said, I don't carry a cell phone and I will not carry a cell phone. And so if that's our deal breaker, then I'm sorry, but I can't take this job. That's not likely to happen when you're in a less intensive workplace. But it's something that you need to think about. Am I willing to do this? If I have my cell phone with me all the time anyway, what doesn't matter? Or no, absolutely not. I wouldn't even consider this. It is possible that starting at a lower salary or a lower title than you have had previously can be a great career move. Or you might say, absolutely not. That is not something I will ever consider. Traveling for a job is now less frequent, but relocating for a job, especially for those of you who are considering academic librarianship or rural public librarianship, you may be asked to relocate. How do you feel about that? It may be a really cool thing for you or you may say, absolutely not. My family's here. This is my deal breaker. Okay, so we sort of thought about what your preferences might be. How do you apply those to find your best fit career opportunities? And I will preface this by saying this is a career long process. You will not start off probably in your perfect best fit job. Over the course of your career, you will get closer and closer and closer to it. So your job is to have those preferences in mind and then use some of these tactics to keep getting closer. So I've put these as 10 to make it easy. The first one is review your work history, both paid and volunteer. And that can include things like babysitting. I have worked with several students who have no work history except for they've done a lot of babysitting and they know as clearly as they know anything else in their life, they will never be a children's librarian. So this is sort of reviewing the whole gamut of the work that you have done over and up to this point in your career or your student career. Identify your strengths and the areas of this is not my best stuff. The reasoning behind this is that if you can know what your strengths are, then you can focus on them and develop them to a point of excellence. Whereas the areas that are not your best stuff, no matter how hard you work on it, are never going to be really outstanding. That's just human nature, that's not you. And so for us to get you to doing the work that you love the best, we want to focus on your strengths and we'll have more information about how to do that. Number three is informational interviews and we have information about how to do those on the website under the career development section. But also if you're not sure about it and you'd like more information about it, you'll have my email at the end of the webcast. I've put together a sort of information interviews 101 and just send me an email and say please send that to me and I'll be glad to shoot it off to you. Also note what coursework you've most enjoyed. One of the coolest things about being in the iSchool and going through the program is that you can use it to monitor your responses to what makes you happy and what you're good at. So as you go through each course, don't just learn the domain knowledge base that you're being exposed to. Also assess your reactions to what do I think about this knowledge base? What do I think about this type of work? Number five, take some assessments, but then I would take those assessment results and compare them to what you know of your own best and worst work experiences because it will help you understand what was good about this for me, what wasn't good about this for me and why. Another way you can use being in the program is to consider your reactions to what guest speakers or guest presenters are telling you about their jobs. If someone says in my job the thing that I love to do the most is XYZ and you hear that and think, uh-huh, if I had to do that I would run screaming from the building. That's a really important benchmark for you to make. That's giving you terrific information for you to understand your own preferences. And then think about your time in the program in order to go back to that first question that we were mentioning, which is do I want to be a generalist or a specialist? I realized when I was in grad school, I wanted to do everything. And the thought of being a specialist made me sad because it meant I would have to focus on one thing to the exclusion of a million other things that I was curious about and knew that over the course of my career I would become curious about. On the other hand, I have friends and colleagues who have become specialists and I am in awe of their knowledge and their ability to contribute, their skills and their growing wisdom and insights in their careers to the work that they do. So think about what this feels like for you so far in the program. Number eight, if you can, job shadow. And job shadowing is where you reach out to someone who's doing a job that you're curious about and you ask them if it would be possible for you to come in and just basically wander around behind them for a day and see what they do, how they do it, the kinds of things that come up. You know, if you have the time, do it for several days in a row so you can see the different dynamics. But as you do that and you learn about those jobs, what you especially want to pay attention to is your reactions to those job characteristics. And then nine is to read as many job career descriptions to identify best work aspects for you. Keep in mind that what works best for you is going to be radically different or maybe than your best friend or your best buddy in grad school or a faculty member that you really really admire. It's unique to you and no one will know better than you will what those preferences and characteristics look like. And also thank you to Kelly for the career trends report. This is the annual MLIS skills at work report. It's just come out. It's on the website and that will also walk you through what a lot of these jobs look like. And again, you just want to look at it and think, see, okay, I would love to do that. Or yeah, that's four things, not so much. And the last thing is try it out. You can try these jobs out as internships. You can try some of these things out as volunteers. You can try them out as a project that you sign on to. You don't have to make what I would call a full body commitment of taking a job, a full time job and committing to it in order to start learning more about which of these things will work for you best. So why is this important? Here's why I think it's important. And some of these reasons are because as I said, I've held, I've been on three straight out startups. I've led two other startup projects within businesses and I've had probably between 12 and 15 different jobs. And when I started work, I didn't really know myself or my work preferences well enough to know why some of those really were wonderful and other ones really, really didn't work out. And so if you know yourself as well as you possibly can in terms of job preferences and work preferences. Before you launch your career or early on as you launch your career, you will understand what I consider to be a really critical difference. And that is between a wrong job, the wrong type of work for you, the wrong boss, i.e. this boss is a loony tune and a micromanager and I don't do well with micromanagers. The wrong company, i.e. the company culture here is terrible, or the wrong industry. The more I work in this industry, I realize it doesn't reflect my personal value set. You will know this earlier on the better you understand yourself, or you will be able to identify jobs that fit these categories before you actually take them, which I would tell you is way preferable than finding out after you've been in the job for a while. It will also help you understand whether you are or have been following someone else's career agenda. One of the things that we know when we start grad school is that pretty much everybody has an agenda for us. So ALA has an agenda for what we need to learn. Our parents probably have an agenda for us. Our spouse may have an agenda for us or a significant other. Your kids may have an agenda for you. Your career advisor or your academic advisor may have an agenda for you. Everybody with the best possible intentions has a pretty good idea of what they think that you should be doing in your career. This will help you be able to differentiate between their agenda for you and what you would describe and create as your own career agenda. It will help you identify, as I mentioned, hopefully before you've taken the job, the benefits and drawbacks of a specific job opportunity. And sometimes that can be difficult to do if it looks like a killer position, the kind of thing you've looked for for a long time. This will help you do a deeper dive to actually be able to tell whether the potential is going to turn into the right reality for you. It will help you be able to most effectively sell your strengths to potential employers because if you know to the greatest degree possible why a job would be great for you, then you also know why you can or how you can tell that interviewer why you would be such an effective contributor in that role. It makes it much, much easier to be persuasive and authentically persuasive because you know how good you would be as a contributor. It also helps you work with colleagues who don't share your characteristics or preferences. One of the things that most of us tend to do and it's simply human nature is assume that most people think the way we do when they're colleagues of ours. We have the same values, we approach the world the same way we were either process driven or we're not process driven or all of these different characteristics. And in reality, all of us are breathtakingly different even when we're somewhat similar. And so knowing what your characteristics are will help you identify when you're hitting a situation where someone doesn't share your characteristics or preferences and help you navigate those differences more easily. It also, and this is really important, it also can help you understand when a job promotion might not be in your own best interest. We always assume that a promotion is a good thing. But if a promotion takes you out of a situation where you can work to your strengths and put you into a situation where you're not able to do that anymore and or it really highlights or calls on the areas that aren't strengths for you. That's not a good situation for you and you are better off to turn down that promotion and wait for something to open up that does allow you to continue to grow in the areas that are the best fit for you and for your career. It is also important to know what's really worth negotiating for. For example, the situation where I was asked to be carrying a cell phone 24 seven at that point in my life. That was absolutely something I would not consider doing. And so that was my negotiating point. The salary was fine. It wasn't a big deal for me. I knew what the job was going to entail. They were asking me to do it. And so I knew that I had the characteristics in that job that I wanted to have. But that one point was my deal breaker. And so the better you know yourself when you're being offered a job or you are applying for a job. The easier it is for you to identify and quickly say, well, I would love to take this job, but this one thing does not work for me. You may be surprised when they come back and say, we think you'd be great in this job and we will work around that issue, which is what my response was. That's how they responded to me. It also helps you know not only when you're deciding to take a job that you know isn't going to be a good fit, but it helps you understand why you're taking that job. Here's an example. If you're in a situation where you're a parent and you've got small kids and part of your value system or your goals or your priorities are to be home when those kiddos are home before and after school. And you found a job that you don't really love and it doesn't really build on your strengths, but it allows you to work the hours that you need for your kiddos or for that parenting commitment. Then you can take that job knowing it's not going to be a good fit for you, but knowing that you are following a higher or more important priority. Because when you know that, you don't resent the job. You go into it knowing that you have made a trade off. You go into it not holding anybody else responsible for the fact that you don't love the work that you're doing. You're the one who made that choice and it was the right choice to make. It's a good choice to make. So don't feel like once you understand what your best fit jobs look like, any job you take that is not that best fit is the wrong decision. It may be absolutely the right decision for you at that point in your life. All right, so I'm going to go through these really quickly because you just, I just want you to know that I've, I've included these in this set of slides so you can go back to them and check them out. Personality tests, books, and here are key takeaways. The self assessment tests that I've noted and your own work history are going to be able to help you understand the key or the critical points about what you are good at, what you instinctively enjoy doing and what your best fit environment is likely to look like at this point in your life. Once you've identified those characteristics, then you can start exploring how various job options and job opportunities do or don't align. Then you can use that information to make job and career choices that come closer to offering you your best career fit. And then similarly, it will help you understand why something that isn't working, why that may be okay for you for now. Okay, so now, thank you, Sybil. Okay, can we see two slides back? Will we get to see the slideshow later? Yes. So here's what's going to happen. After this, we wrap this up, then I will work with the iSchool wonderful production people, and we will post it in the career development section and this entire webcast will be available to you to review at your leisure at any point. And as well, there you see my email. And although it says Gail, it's actually Gail Kimberley, and so I go by Kim. I'm available to you for any questions that you would have at any point about LIS careers, about the program, about where to find information, just anything that you think of. So with that, I'll, let's see, ask, have, whoops, see, do we have any other questions? Thank you, Ariel, and thank you, Amanda, and thank you, Sybil. I'm glad that it was helpful, and I'm glad that you all won't be making all the mistakes that I made early on in my career. All right, so with that, I will let all of you have a wonderful rest of your evening, and I will look forward to hearing from any of you who have questions that I can help with. All of you take care and have a great rest of the week.


What's good Josh boros back again with another video. So I wanted to talk about Dave Meltzer's recent match ratings for WrestleMania 49 one and night two It's caused a lot of discourse on Twitter And I wanted to kind of give my opinions on do I agree with his five-star Match rating system on this particular show now granted I never really just go by his rating on matches Only because I really don't go by anybody's rating on matches because you know, it's subjective is how you feel about it But at the same time, I do be seeing like the matches that he give five stars to and call them Instant classics. They're definitely more on AEW side and not to say that they aren't great matches But at the same time it is one of those things where you can kind of tell this There's a lot more bias than what it what it probably should be But at the end of the day, that's his rating system to whom I to tell him what's a five-star match in what company That's up to him, you know to decide that but I wanted to talk about it because it's definitely a trending topic right now And it you know, it's caused some discourse for sure on social media, especially on Twitter So we're gonna go through it and I'm gonna see if I agree with what Dave Meltzer gave for his ratings I believe he does a on a scale of one through five stars So let's see for night one Dave Meltzer, WrestleMania star rating night one Rhea Ripley versus Becky 4.25 stars. Um, that was actually good match. That was a very good match very good opener. Um, I Usually do on a scale of one to ten, but for this particular video I agree with that. I agree with that. That was fun. I'm okay with that giving them four stars there I'm okay with that that that that's serviceable the ladder match Same rating 4.25 stars ladder match definitely picked up towards the end. So I'm okay with that. That's not a bad one Rayon Andrade versus Dom and Santos. Um, he gave it three 3.75 stars The decimal stuff is kind of throwing me off. I've just either three or four stars would have probably been better how I would rate it. Um, but Honestly It's definitely a three-star match It's it's definitely a three-star match. It's it's it's kind of middle of the road It's not something that I think people are gonna just go off and remember and talk about but it was okay It was definitely oh, it was an okay match I still think this match shouldn't have probably been on the pay-per-view, but it was okay J versus Jimmy He gave it zero stars zero point seven five stars. Damn Now, I don't know if I'm gonna give it zero, bro I don't know if I'm gonna just say it it was a zero-star match But it was the worst match of WrestleMania weekend and it should have been one of the better matches I feel like they didn't really do much the story there The the story was there, but they didn't really build upon it. The promo package was better than the match for sure. I would probably Going off to his rating system. I probably would have gave that I Probably gave that like a one Maybe maybe a two Only because you know the story there's still it's a brother versus brother story and there still was some intrigue there Maybe two one and a half stars. I probably would have given one and a half stars. Honestly zero. I don't know about that I don't think it's like zero to me. It's like it's just the worst of words I don't think it was the worst of words I think the expectations didn't live up and they didn't really build upon it So I would give it at least one and a half stars J Bianca Naomi versus Demons control two stars. I Personally probably would have gave that three. I would have gave that three stars Was this a match that needed to be on there, I wouldn't say needed but it was well-welcome Jade's first WrestleMania match. It was fun. It was cool. Just seeing a crowd want to see Jade out there It was fun. It was it was it was okay.  I Stayed they knocked it out the part bro. I get out of five, bro. That was that was at least At least four and a half. It's that's a good rating, but I honestly that's a classic match, bro That's a very classic match. I Can give that easily a five, bro. That was a five-star match Goot, they usually have great five-star matches. So many but this one was so damn good, bro Four and a half. I can agree with five I probably would have went with in bloodline versus Cody and Seth. I Honestly, that was the match of the night If it wasn't for Sammy and Gunther being right there, too, I think that was matching.   That was a fun-ass match To build up for night, too. I'm giving that a five. So But the most for I started to Jay and Jimmy everything else was kind of I can somewhat agree with The Jade I probably would have went up a star Jay and Jimmy at least Least a star everything else I kind of could have agreed with so I didn't really have too much problem with this one So night one. That's okay. See what he says for night, too Seth versus Drew three and a half stars I'm gonna give that a four, bro. I'm giving that four stars at least four because of the high impact the intensity They started off WrestleMania so great and it had a great moment in Damian priests Cashing in at the start of the show with the hosting of punk stuff. It made more memorable moments I'm gonna give that a four. That was a fun fun match. Great moments We give that a four all the pride versus final testament damn one and one point seven stars Hmm, I give that a two. I give that two stars That was I enjoyed that the right people one. It was fun. It wouldn't Didn't need to be on the show most likely not but it was something that's like, you know what? Can't you know, you can't get too mad at it, you know, I think that's a that's a decent That's a it's an okay. I give it at least two stars It it it served as purpose. It's there to entertain the crowd really, you know, it's a disperse this purpose la versus AJ three and a half stars That was a fun match I'm okay with that rating. I'm definitely okay with that rating. Some people will probably give it for I'm okay with that. That was it wasn't it wasn't bad actually. It was it was really good in ring wrestling was good I probably give that a lease closer to the fours if I had to choose Because it was a fun match. It was a good match. I wouldn't say It's like super memorable But it was still good though It's one of those matches where I don't even have a problem with it being on a card It wasn't the best it wasn't the worst, but it still was worth being on the card It was one of those like middle of the road mid card matches that you can enjoy because the few that been pretty good So I give this three maybe four, you know round that 3.5 is not bad Logan versus Randy Logan versus Randy versus KO four and a half. This was a really good match four stars He kind of spot on with that one That was definitely almost a five. That was a really good match Bailey versus EO four and a half stars Close to a five. That was a really good match, too. I couldn't get mad I could not get mad if you want to give it if you gave it four stars there close to a five and Roman versus Cody 4.75 this is where I disagree with him. It's a five-star classic five-star classic simple Five-star classic some may disagree, but I don't give a damn that was a five-star classic That is a match that people will remember for a very long time the story in that match was Fantastic the wrestling was good, too, you know, there was some good wrestling great selling great emotion But people were there for the story the story had been playing out for so long Almost more than a year since Cody came back And the fact that you're going against this unstoppable force in Roman Reigns with the help of his cousin the Rock This is great. I I'm a person of the in-ring wrestling can be great But if there's no story there, I because how am I gonna care about the people that's fighting each other? There has to be some story there to sink my teeth into why this person should win why this person should lose This was great five-star classic. I get goosebumps Every time I've gone back and just watch watch that match or just watch when Cody won that pop When Cody kept kicking out of stuff He shouldn't be kicking out of or you know, you thought it was over the great spots the great moments It's classic And it is a five-star Classic that is a match that kids that are watching WrestleMania now growing up They're gonna think of this is their WrestleMania 17. This is their stone cold versus the Rock WrestleMania moment This is their moment This is our moment, too. I don't know what to say other than that's a five-star classic That's where I disagree with him on he didn't give no five stars this WrestleMania season and that's fine, you know Once again, that's his rating. You know, I know he tends to give a lot more to five-star ratings to AEW That's what he wants to do one might have telling him not to but me personally I think Roman versus Cody easily five-star classic, but comment down below Let me know y'all ratings for a WrestleMania night one and two for each perspective match on a scale of one through five, you know Five being the best one being the worst Let me know which matches you feel like was the best and which matches you feel like was the worst What ratings you give them and whether any five-star matches to y'all on this particular WrestleMania, let me know down below, but I appreciate all the love support road to 150k And I'm still yours be the YouTube wrestling champion world. Appreciate y'all kicking me. See y'all next time. Peace


So, as many of you know, our friends in the UK have a general election coming up. And if Tories and Boris Johnson are able to hang on to their majority in parliament, Boris Johnson has already made it clear he's signaled pretty explicitly to Donald Trump that he'd be willing to use their NHS as a bargaining chip in trade negotiations, meaning he would open the door to even more privatization in the United Kingdom and allow private American companies to profit off of healthcare in the UK. Now, Jeremy Corbyn as the leader of Labour has sounded the alarm over this, and rightfully so, because even though nobody's accusing Boris Johnson of wanting to fully privatize or Americanize their NHS, well, even if you just give these for-profit vultures an inch, they're going to take a mile. So you have to make sure that you protect what you've managed to obtain. And opening the door to these for-profit companies, it's just bad. All around it is bad. So there is an educational campaign going on by proponents of Britain's NHS. And the way that they are trying to educate people about the dangers of privatization is by pointing to the United States. And there's a video from Politics Joe. And basically they just talked to random people on the streets and they asked them what they thought the price of a particular medical procedure was in the United States. And what you're going to see is genuine shock based on how expensive our healthcare system is. And this should really put things in a perspective for people in America. This is how people react when they're told about our healthcare system. Ambulance call out how much that costs. Zero payment. Zero payment. Yeah, zero payment. No. Because two and a half thousand dollars. For real? Yeah. Okay. Cool. You look. You look. And inhaler. A hundred dollars. Yeah. You're pretty close. It's a bit more. 120. 250 to 350. For an inhaler? Yes. Man. So if you're poor, you're dead. I know that it's like public healthcare in the UK. In the US, fortunately I'm able to get healthcare through my parents, their jobs, but like I carry an EpiPen. And I know that like the cost of that has just been rising, so like there's like very few companies that even compete, so it's sort of like a monopoly for the EpiPen. Even though like we have insurance, it costs my parents about a couple hundred, even with insurance. So two EpiPens, how much do you reckon they are? 80 dollars. 600. 40 dollars. I'm afraid not. More. More. 100 dollars. More. 150. More. 250. More.  More. 300 pounds. 500. 600 dollars. Yeah. What? Why? That's a very good question. 600 dollars. Yeah. For me it's more like just hives and shortness of breath, so it wouldn't be like an immediate death situation, but like, so I've been fortunate I've not had to use it, but it's something like keep on me, like I have my backpack right now, I have it on me. Cost of childbirth. Jesus. 50 grand, something ridiculous now. Yes, I've blown the figures up on your head now, haven't I, because they're larger. The highest generally speaking is about 30 grand. Okay, okay. Is that reasonable? It's not reasonable at all, it's just like now we're on a benchmark. 100? 200? Dollars. Yeah. The average is about 10 grand, it can go up to 30,000. 10 grand? For a baby? Yeah, well I guess.  Yeah. Is that like the same everywhere? The average is about 10,000 dollars, yeah. That's mad. Oh no thanks. Okay, no thanks in which case, the coil, RUD, contraception, how much do you think that costs? For one person to implant a grand. Yeah, a little bit higher. Really? $1,300. Oh. Mental. I wonder if you could tell me how expensive you think calling an ambulance out to your location is in America. I guess it depends on like where you live. It really does. Is there a price for that? Yes. Jeez. $100? $200? Two and a half grand. For what? Why? Why? Give birth by C-section and you would like to hold your baby after you've given birth to it? Actually, yeah, that's what you do. You have to pay to do that. Yes. To hold my own child that I've been carrying inside of my womb. Should I say something else? Yeah, I was. But yes, yes. Geez. It's not actually that expensive. Right. Charging me, I'm going to punch you. Yeah. Not you, but the doctor. Like $100. $40? $40. Or skin on skin contact. What do you think of the NHS? Literally the gift that keeps on giving. Literally. Literally.  And I don't want it to change. Finally, does it make you grateful for the NHS? Absolutely, absolutely.  But like knowing you have to pay like 30 grand for a child is outrageous.  So thank you, NHS, for your hard work. I'm genuinely speechless. Presumably you had an idea that healthcare was expensive in the US. I didn't realise how expensive. Yeah, I'm just like, what? If you don't have money, you're fudged, yeah. What do you think of the people who are profiting off the sale of these medicines? Your bastards. Sorry, beep. I think, yeah, I think they should be stopped.  That was incredibly fascinating to watch. When the man who was asked what he thought the cost of an ambulance ride would be, he said free. Because I mean, instinctively you just think that's an emergency. So of course the government takes care of emergencies like that.  So why would it be different if you need to call an ambulance? But when he was told that it was $200 or $2,500, he was genuinely shocked. In fact, most of these people were genuinely shocked. And I need people to understand in America that if you don't believe Medicare for All is the way to go, you are being duped because that's how people react when they're told about the American system. And our system is this horrible because it is profit driven. It's privatized to its core. Our system isn't about the delivery of healthcare since it is run by private companies mostly. Well, the goal is to increase shareholder value and increase profits. It's not about healthcare. It's about profits.  Exactly. Except here in the United States, we've been brainwashed so much that the prospect of removing the profit motive from that healthcare system is conflated to taking away choice. I mean, literally. You can see Democratic Party politicians like people to judge saying that if we advocate for Medicare for All, we are in favor of taking away choice. And people believe it.  I mean, it's just, it's remarkable. There's no choice.  It is just a broken system that's so pathetic that other countries have to use us as an example of what not to do and we are the richest country on the planet. And it's not just the UK. Back in 2008, when there were more talks of privatization in Canada, studies pointed to the United States as what not to do, because if you privatize a greater portion of healthcare, well, costs will go up and health outcomes will get worse. I mean, it's sad that this is the fact of reality, but I really hope that they do learn from us in the UK, because if you allow for privatization like a virus, it will creep into your system and ruin it. You're not going to see the effects of it right away, but 10 years down the line, when you realize that you're getting less for what you pay for, you're going to realize that it was privatization that did just that. And what's remarkable about the UK is that even if Tories and Boris Johnson are trying to privatize the NHS, they're not trying to do it entirely. They're trying to take it step-by-step, chip away at it, right? Death by a thousand cuts. But they can't even do it overtly. They have to basically do it covertly and in this insidious way so people don't really know about their true agenda and they have to pay lip service to the NHS and talk about how much they love the NHS. But here in the United States, the party that's supposed to represent the working class and be left-wing Democrats, they're openly against Medicare for All, which doesn't even go as far as the national health system. So do you understand how the Overton window in the United States is so much further to the right than it is in the United Kingdom? Like if I were a benevolent dictator and I could get any policy I wanted, I would opt for a national health system over Medicare for All because I don't just want the government to be the single insurer paying private hospitals. I want those hospitals to be owned by the public because I believe there should be no profit motive in healthcare whatsoever, whatsoever. So I really hope that people in the UK don't take their system for granted and they learn from the mistakes that we've made and fight like hell to protect what they've managed to accomplish in that NHS system. You guys already have 10% of it that is made up by private insurers. Don't let any more in. That's already far too much and you see the effects of what that 10% does. These private for-profit health insurance companies will always want a larger share of the pie and they will never stop fighting to get that. Now to give you some more statistics here with regard to just how bad the American system is, we spend almost double the OECD average relative to our GDP and our per capita spending is more than other developed countries yet we're not getting better health outcomes. We're just being ripped off. Life expectancy is lower than most developed countries. We have one of the worst infant mortality rates and overall I mean it's really obvious that even though we're paying more we're not getting what we're paying for and speaking of costs we spend billions of dollars every single year on administrative costs. This is unnecessary, it's a waste but we have to spend that money because when you have a for-profit system that requires a really large bureaucracy for billing and you know insurance and whatnot. So our system again is so pathetically broken that other countries always have to point to us as an example of what not to do.  Our system is so cruel and inhumane that there are private companies that have openly questioned if curing patients is a sustainable business model. They've literally questioned that. So how can you even defend this system? The answer is it's indefensible. If you have a healthcare system that is based on profit you change the goal of that system. It's not about the delivery of healthcare it's about increasing shareholder value and increasing profits. If you're in the UK or any other country with either a single payer or national health system where it's free at the point of service don't take that for granted understand what you got and realize it could be way worse fight for it. And you know what's interesting is that this is really generational a lot of people in the UK grew up not really knowing what it's like to not have healthcare. People in countries like Canada for example never have to worry about healthcare. David Dole talks about this all the time who's a Canadian. In the United States this is something that consumes us we have to argue with our insurance providers on the phone we have to apply and reapply every single year it is such a hassle and it's cruel. So we're being duped in America and I really hope that if you know someone who's still reluctant or afraid of Medicare for All around the world who learn about our system because that will put things into perspective for them we are getting duped we're being taken advantage of and it's about time we finally stand up and demand what's right demand what other people have in other countries what they take for granted and if you're in the UK I mean if you allow Tories to win and privatize your system and you don't put up a fight I don't know what to tell you that's just stupid you don't want an American healthcare system you don't want it to be anywhere close to what we have trust me as an American with first hand experience dealing with our cruel system you don't want this fight to keep what you got trust me you will regret it if you lose what you have


I think that what we're going through in the United States right now is an acceleration of problems that were there before Trump but have been aggravated mightily and strategically by our American president right now. And I think it's important to recognize that this is an issue not just for journalism, it is an issue for democracy. Although you can have journalism in non-democracies, you cannot have a democracy without a journalism. Fake news is not a new phenomenon. Fake news has been around for as long as news has been there. And there have always been different types of what we now call fake news. There's gossip, there's malicious reporting, there's intentional miscoding of messages. All of that is part of the fake news environment, but all of it is also part of the journalistic environment. And if we can train people to understand the news in a more critical and literate fashion, we have a better chance of being able to get out of the alarm mindset that we're in at present concerning fake news. I imagine journalism going back to its best version of itself, where journalism can be independent and critical and interesting and intellectual and creative. And most important, it can be proactive. I think that what we are seeing today with journalism is way too much reactivity, way too much lagging behind what other people are doing to kind of push the news agenda. So I think that being able to retweak journalism's core by rethinking principles of autonomy and criticality are the best way forward. I think it's important for journalists to understand the skills and crafts of journalism, like interviewing, like good writing, like understanding how one approaches a source. But without having a context into which one can fit those skills, they don't really matter to very much. So it's important to understand politics. It's important to understand history. I think history is one of those things that journalists are forgetting. The news media are forgetting history, and there's a lot in history today that tells us very important things about what we're going through at this moment. Understanding sociology, understanding data, understanding statistics, all of these outside skills offer journalists a way to kind of magnify their tool set and make what they have to give a story that much richer.


The rules for CDU Harvard style referencing are particular about punctuation. Most references have four main elements. These are author, year of publication or date, title and source. There is a comma after each surname and author initial, but no comma before the amp sand. There is no comma before the year of publication or date. There is a comma after the year of publication or date. There is a comma after all titles. Little articles put a comma after the journal title. The issue number is in brackets followed by a colon and the page numbers. Add a full stop after the page information. There are single punctuation marks around the article title. Remember that journal titles are in italics. For books, put a comma after the book title and a full stop after the publisher name. More examples, check the CDU Harvard referencing guide.


Hello, and welcome to this presentation of the STM32 General Purpose I.O. interface. It covers the general purpose input and output interface and how it allows connectivity to the environment around the STM32 MP1 series. The general purpose I.O. pins of STM32 products provide an interface with the external environment. This configurable interface is used by the MCU as well as other embedded peripherals to interface with both digital and analog signals. Application benefits include a wide range of supported I.O. supply voltages as well as the ability to externally wake up the MCU from low power modes. The general purpose I.O. ports provide bi-directional operation according to the input memory map. I.O. ports are directly connected to the AHB bugs. This allows fast I.O. pin operations, such as toggling and output, with an independent configuration for each I.O. pin. They are shared across 12 ports, named GPIO-A to GPIO-K, plus GPIO-Z, each of them hosting up to 16 I.O. pins. I.O. ports support atomic bit set and reset operations through the BSSRR and BRR registers. It allows I.O. toggling every two clock cycles. Most of the I.O. pins are 5 volt tolerant when supplied from VDD above 1.8 volts. General purpose I.O. pins can be configured for use in several operating modes. An I.O. pin can be configured in an input mode with floating input, input mode with an internal pull-up or pull-down resistor, or as an analog input. An I.O. pin can also be configured in an output mode with a push-pull output or an open-drain output with an internal pull-up or pull-down resistor. For each I.O. pin, the slew rate speed can be selected from four ranges for the best compromise between maximum speed and emissions from the I.O. switching and to adjust the application's EMI performance. I.O. pins are also used by other embedded peripherals to interface with the external environment. Alternate function registers are used to select the configuration for the peripherals in this case. The configuration of the I.O. ports can be locked to increase robustness of the application. Once the configuration is locked by applying the correct write sequence to the lock register, the I.O. pins configuration cannot be modified until the next reset. Several integrated peripherals such as the USART, TIMERS, SPI, and others share the same I.O. pins in order to interface with the external environment. Peripherals are configured through an alternate function multiplexer, which ensures that only one peripheral is connected to an I.O. pin at a single time. Of course, this selection can be changed while the application is running through the GPIOX, AFRL, and AFRH registers. During and after reset, the alternate functions are not active. When the external oscillator is switched off, pins related to this oscillator can be used as standard I.O. pins. This is the default state after device reset. When the external clock source is used instead of a crystal oscillator, only the OSC-in pin is used for the clock. Notice that boot ROM makes use of the OSC-out level during reset to define the bypass mode.


Hey friends, I am so excited to be sitting down and filming a video today. I tell you what, if I could even list off, well I'm gonna tell you a little bit about what's been going on in our lives, but this past month has been one absolute circus and that is probably the best description I can have right now of how we have been. I know a lot of you have been wondering where we're at and what's going on and I am actually sitting in my new food seller area and it is really exciting. I have so much to share with you all and we have had so many different things going on. So if you are completely new here or you haven't watched my channel for a while, we recently moved and with the move there was a lot of things going on. So we moved, we're doing some painting and some things in the house which you guys will get to see over on my home channel. So if you didn't know, I have a second channel. It's all about home organization and just home making in general and decor and all of that stuff. You need to take a sip of coffee, hang on. So when we moved into this house, we knew that there was gonna be some things that were geared more and towards just home maintenance and things like that. So we have some of that going on and we also had to move out of our other house. We did give ourself a month where we were in both houses, so or like not in both houses but we were between the two houses.  So that's just in the home making end of things. And then in the midst of it, in the middle of that month where we had both of the houses or access to both of the houses, my husband and I were planning to go on, it wasn't quite a whole week but I'm just gonna say a week of like a conference, just a Christian conference, something just for personal growth and things like that. We had planned that months and months and months ago and we didn't want to interrupt those plans even though at that time we didn't know we would be moving over that time. So we went to that, it was excellent, it was great, we grew so much, it was just really, really good. The morning after we came home from that, I got sick and I need to say this because before we went to the conference there, we had some children that were sick. So I got sick the week or the day after we came home from that conference and I have never in my adult life been as sick as I have been in the last two so weeks. I got streps throat, I got a sinus infection and I got an ear infection and it all kind of just like happened kind of like that. So I felt like I was maybe getting over the hump of one thing and then the next thing came along and I just cannot remember being that sick in my adult life and I'm talking like in bed all day, can't even function, Cory was like so amazing. We both have our own businesses so we can really work around schedules and things that happen in life and so he had days where he was home and he was cooking and just kind of taking care of the house in the midst of the cooking. You know, we're in the middle of doing these home projects so we had just chaos, chaos. I feel like the house is starting to feel a little bit normal just because I'm coming back to life and like just craziness. So thank goodness before we went to that conference we had gotten, Cory had built all of these shelves for me and we had gotten a bulk of our food seller moved from the other house. You all may have found my channel through that other video that I posted a while ago showing you a tour of my food seller and long-term storage and things like that at the other house. Well, obviously when you move, all of those things have to move with you as well. So this seller is a lot smaller than our previous one and so this one just took some kind of craftiness and just some creativity to really put it together and make it work and it's still not completely together. I know you can see a lot behind me and you can see that it looks like there's probably some organization going on but what you can't see is on the other side of the camera there's a lot of piles and things that have to be cleaned up. So I will be showing you all a tour of this very, very soon but in the meantime there's a lot of home preservation, food preservation projects that I had planned in the planning to get to them and I have the stuff to do them and of course with this whole fiasco of getting sick and I need to mention that I actually have one little one that is still sick. We just like, thank goodness Cory hasn't gotten any of it and he plowed through and was taking a lot of vitamin C and just other things to really keep me afloat. All of that to say that's a pretty big explanation on where I've been. I know a lot of you have been just wondering wondering what happened to me and to be honest I love the community aspect of YouTube and being able to connect with you all each week and just being able to sit in the comments and talk and chat and we talk about our different projects or our home making things that we have going on and I just enjoy all of that so much. So I am so excited. That's why when I said at the beginning I'm thrilled to be sitting here filming this video because I am just excited to get back into the swing of things and be connecting with you all since that's just what I enjoy doing. So I'm gonna touch on the house really quick and you guys can jump on over to my home channel to get all the updates on that there because you're gonna see projects going on and things like that. So we got permission. We are renting this house and we have mentioned to the owners that potentially we would like to purchase this place. We're not exactly sure but there was just a few things particularly with the kitchen that we wanted to kind of just update, get cleaned up, give it a fresh face and so that is a lot of what we're working on right now and as you guys know, the kitchen is the heart of the home and I feel like when that is not put together the way that you want it to be it can be a little bit chaotic and just trying to work around what you can cook and what you can't cook or you know those sorts of things. And so we have that going on and I still haven't completely gotten the house organized. I actually was just last night getting some of the last boxes kind of gone through and stuff which is very unusual for me when I move I like to be in my house and set up like in the first week or two. I just don't care to drag it all out. I just want everything to be put away. I don't like to be digging through boxes. So that just goes to show here we are over a month in to this house and we're just now getting things kind of wrapped up on the organization or not or complete organization but just putting things kind of where they need to be if you know what I mean. So as far as food preservation and gardening I am so excited in the next couple of days Corey is going to kind of get the garden planned and tilled out up behind our house and we're not going to do a really big garden. We just decided Corey just told me the other day he said I think with just everything that's happened through this move and whatnot I think having something don't bite off more than you can chew and I totally think he's right. I think we're just going to go for something that is in moderation and just really take it as a learning year on gardening and all of that kind of stuff for this property. Since obviously I've never grown anything here I don't know what it's going to bring but I do have one great treasure and that is an older lady. She actually lives out the lane. She used to live next to this house and now her grandson and his wife they live there. So the garden that is on their side of their property is very much in the same place as where we'll be putting our garden. So I and she has been gardening this for, I forget what she said, I talked to her yesterday I would think like over 50 years. So she can kind of give me some tips and tricks on what grows here well and just maybe some problem solving if I run into any issues. And I know that one of my biggest battles here may be rabbits. So because this is our first year and we're not sure what the future holds we don't really want to put up a fence or anything yet possibly next year we'll see where we're at by then. So I think I may be trying to, you know weave through some old fashioned ideas on how to deter rabbits. So we'll see how that goes. As far as food preservation I haven't done a lot in the last couple of weeks due to all this stuff. However, I did get a five gallon bucket of maple syrup because this would be kind of the mid to tail end or like kind of when our maple syrup is ready in our area. And I have been wanting to do that. Last year I got a five gallon bucket of honey and we definitely haven't even went through half of that yet. So I know that that's gonna last me a while it's down here on the shelf in some court jars. But the lady that I got the maple syrup from she told me how I can go ahead and store and seal my maple syrup in my pints or courts. So that's gonna be a project coming up. I have all of this stuff to do baked beans. We love our home can baked beans in our house and I have been out of them for a couple of months now. And so that's something that I have coming up and just I have frozen apples, lots of things. But today, today we are going to squeeze some lemons and I thought it was kind of a funny little pun here on when life gives you lemons because I feel like in the last couple of weeks I've just had the lemons in my life and my mom actually found these for a really good price at Costco. And so, and I know wintertime is generally which we are into spring now but wintertime is generally when you wanna purchase citrus. It's often whenever it's in season. And so I have actually done lemon juice. I've canned lemon juice before and it's extremely convenient. I love having it canned but I am just not up to a canning project today. So I'm actually gonna pull out some of my freezer containers and we're gonna juice these up and put them into the freezer. And then I would like to get another larger box of lemons and probably canned those. But these were just a great price and I haven't had lemon juice for a while and it's going to be amazing to be able to pull out some lemon juice out of the freezer over the next couple months as the weather warms up and make some lemonade. And you all know actually right here I have some of my canned strawberries and so you can make amazing strawberry lemonade. And one thing that I'm actually testing out today and I'm glad I don't have too many lemons to do this with is I got a electric, electric, automatic, I don't exactly know what the right term is, citrus squeezer. And so I wanna test that out. I haven't gotten to use that yet and I wanna see how well it goes. A lot of the reviews online said it was really successful and did a really good job. So I wanna try that out and see how difficult it is. If it's really easy then I definitely probably will buy another really large box of lemons. You might be curious where I'm sitting because there's a lot of light coming in. So there's actually a door that walks in from ground level into our cellar. And right now the sun is just shining outside. I'm looking out and the girls are playing out there. They have a, it's our long lane. They have a place to bike and they have just been thriving and loving life out here. And if you guys missed it, we moved out pretty far outside of town and it's just what our hearts have been longing for and I'm just so happy about it. The other thing I'm looking at is there's actually a plum tree that has been planted and it is in full bloom out there. And I'm so excited to see if it actually bears fruit and if the fruit is good and see what kind of projects we can do with those this year. Anyways, let's go upstairs. We're gonna get this lemon squeezing going and make some lemonades out of lemons. And I just wanted to sit down and give you guys a quick little update because I just, I'm so ready to get back to doing videos and also just honestly cooking. I have done some cooking throughout this craziness but we've also done a lot of just eating, grabbing takeout and stuff like that. And so getting back to homemade meals and I know that even Corey keeps telling me I'm so ready to just have homemade meals because if you guys know we eat a lot of homemade food and so just getting back into our normal swing which you guys will see in the next little bit and I also wanna get into the gardening and just day in the life kind of videos again and what we eat in a day and just I feel so, oh, there went a butterfly. I feel so revived by moving out here. I really, really do. Like it's just given our family just a whole new step in life and we've just really, really been enjoying it besides all the sickness and everything. We just feel like we're free and we have all this freedom and we also have some amazing neighbors and I could just sit here and ramble but we're gonna go and squeeze some lemons. All right, so I'm actually in our sun porch area. I figured the sun is shining. We're gonna be juicing lemons. I couldn't figure a better spot to do this.  It does have like a little lid and I think there's actually more than one size here. I think you can take this off and actually make it smaller. I just touched it and turned it on, I guess. So I guess you just apply pressure and that allows it to juice and then to put it in the freezer, I love these freezer containers. Sometimes people sell them at delis where you can just get them but I actually just get them in packs on Amazon. I can leave them linked below. I have a one cup size and then this is a two cup size which of course would be a pint and then I also have a quart size as well which is excellent for freezing soups and things like that. I'm gonna go ahead and try it with this size piece on here and if it doesn't seem to work, then I'll do a smaller one. These lemons are not huge, huge, but we'll see. Oh, wow, that is so easy and it's so efficient. Can you guys see how well it cleaned the lemon out? Oh, this is gonna take no time at all to do. I just went and grabbed a bucket to put all of the rinds in. This whole process was so incredibly simple and I didn't film it but I actually had my daughters come in because they were asking if they could do this too and it was really easy for them to do. So I think that I definitely wanna get some more lemons and make this a bigger project because as you're gonna see here at the end, I actually ended up with six pints of lemon juice which doesn't seem like that much for the amount of lemons I have here. So that tells me that if I want to put lemon juice away in a greater quantity, particularly if I'm canning it because I would have more space for canned lemon juice, I am going to need a lot of lemons. The other thing that was nice is on the side of the pitcher, it was telling me how many ounces I had. So once I had 16 ounces or a little less because I wanted to leave some head space for the fact that I'm freezing them, then I could just fill up a container and keep on going. I am really thrilled for a lot of the projects we have coming up particularly with the garden and just preserving food from that. And I also just got a freeze dryer so I am starting into freeze drying certain things which is exciting and fun. So definitely stick around, I'm gonna be posting a lot more regularly now that I'm feeling so much better. Thanks a lot for hanging out with me today. I know this was a simple little project but I wanted to show you all that even if you are not doing big projects, just doing small ones here and there like this one always helps to keep your freezer and your shelves full. So if you're new here, don't forget to subscribe, give this video a like, leave me a comment below, I will be responding to comments and I'll see you guys in my next video.


In this study, researchers examined the relationship between population-adjusted rates of physical rehabilitation need and the workforce supply of physical therapists and occupational therapists in high-income countries. They found that the number of physical therapists and occupational therapists available per 10,000 people was not significantly related to the level of physical rehabilitation need in these countries. Instead, the amount of money spent on healthcare and the size of the population were more important factors in determining the availability of physical therapists and occupational therapists.
