So we're going to go ahead and get started with Edith's amazing presentation. So I'd love to invite our speaker to join us. There we are. Hello again. Thank you again. Hello. It is my great honour to welcome Edith Mangindan. She is a doctoral student of Midwifery at the University of Iceland. She was born and raised in San Francisco, California in the United States to Filipino parents and she moved to Iceland in 2009 with her Icelandic husband. Her experience as an immigrant woman receiving maternity care in Iceland inspired her to become a midwife. Her research areas of interest include immigrant women, respectful care, women's autonomy and decision making, informed choice, mistreatment and childbirth, intersectionality and culturally sensitive care. She also works as a registered midwife at the anti-natal and postpartum inpatient unit at Landspital University Hospital and hold lectures on cultural humility for midwifery students at University of Iceland. She does more. Hold on. She does more. I don't think she's able to have any rest. In addition, she is also on the editorial board of the Icelandic Midwifery Journal and teaches childbirth preparation classes for English speaking. I expect some pairs. Let's go ahead and welcome Edith. Thank you so much. Welcome. Oh, thank you for that wonderful introduction, Jane. I'm so happy to be here with you all today. Happy International Day of the Midwife. My name, as Jane said, is Edith Mangindan and I am a doctoral student of Midwifery at the University of Iceland and I feel very honored to be able to share my work with you today. The title of the first article that I'm working on right now with the three articles that will go towards my doctorate is Migrant Women's Experiences of Respect, Autonomy and Mistreatment in Icelandic Maternity Care, a Quantitative Study. And on my PhD journey, I am so fortunate to have two very experienced and encouraging midwife researchers as my supervisors, Dr. Helga Gottfresdottir and Dr. Emma Marine Swift. But before I discuss my project with you, I believe that is important to let you know a little bit about my background and Jane has already started talking about it. So I'm just going to go over it. On September 3rd, 2009, my life completely changed the moment I gave birth to my first child, Ari. I had just moved to Iceland a little over nine months before this picture was taken. And as Jane said earlier, I'm born and raised by Filipino immigrant parents in San Francisco, California in the United States. And in 2009, I decided to move to Iceland. I left my job, my apartment, my friends, my family, all for love and adventure. But shortly after moving, I became pregnant with my first child in this new country. And it was such a beautiful time in my life, but still very challenging. It was a very, it was very challenging because my husband and his family were the only people I knew here. I didn't speak Icelandic. I was far away from my own family, my own mother. And I was a very visible foreigner, very much an outsider. But on the other hand, I was in a country where pregnancy is considered a natural and normal process. Women are encouraged to give birth without intervention, if possible. And I regularly went to a midwife who was very professional, warm and encouraging. And I enjoyed going to prenatal yoga classes to prepare myself physically and mentally for the upcoming birth. I also read all the books written by American midwife Ina Megaskin. And my husband and I also attended parenting classes held in English. I was very much prepared to give birth. And I remember every moment of my labor and birth. And I felt really well the entire time during this labor and the experience of giving birth in this manner, conscious, calm and free from fear was empowering for me. I felt I had regained faith in myself and my self esteem changed for the better. I also felt compelled to share my experience to help other women have the same experience, especially women of foreign origin. And this life experience sparked my interest in midwifery and I was deeply inspired. Although giving birth was empowering for me, I experienced the Icelandic healthcare system as an immigrant woman who was unfamiliar with the language, culture and systems. As a migrant woman, I experienced prejudice, loneliness and a sense of hopelessness, especially when I thought of my future in Iceland. And however, just two years after moving to Iceland, I was accepted into the nursing program at the University of Iceland and graduated in 2015. Throughout my studies and in my work as a registered nurse, I noticed disparities within the healthcare system, especially among immigrant populations. My experience as a pregnant woman of foreign origin motivated me to apply for the graduate program in midwifery in the hopes of improving care. And in 2018, I graduated with a degree in midwifery and in 2020, a master's degree in midwifery. Today, I work as a registered midwife at Lansvitale University Hospital, as Jane mentioned earlier, in Reykjavík, Iceland. I also am a childbirth educator, specializing in migrant parents, and I'm studying to receive certification as an internationally board-certified lactation consultant. So I hope to have more classes for non-Islandic speaking families. And in order to understand the context of my research, it's important to discuss Iceland. So here in Iceland, we have a population of over 360,000 people on the entire island. The fertility rate is 1.71%, the highest in Scandinavia. And we see about over 4,000 births per year on the whole island. There are eight different places for giving birth. Home births are about 2% of all the births in Iceland. Caesarean sections are about 16.1%. And this is considering both acute Caesarean sections as well as the elective Caesarean sections. The epidural rate can be anywhere from 46% to 55% depending on the hospital. And currently, 290 midwives are actively providing care over various settings. And some of the pictures that I'll be using are actually pictures of the Icelandic countryside of the island and with beautiful images or with beautiful pregnant models in them. They're some of my favorite images. And the background, equal access to quality care is a fundamental human right. And it's considered a key issue in healthcare here in Iceland, with a change from a homogeneous population to a multicultural society with 15.6% of immigrants. It is important to address the health status and needs of childbearing immigrant women in the country and their access to the healthcare system and experience of maternity care. The design and delivery of maternity care plays a crucial role in ensuring good outcomes and positive experiences. The World Health Organization standards emphasize that outcomes of high quality care include experiences of autonomy, respect, dignity, emotional support, and client-led informed decision-making processes. I've often thought about access to healthcare in patient equality or equity. Equality means sameness. It's giving everyone the same thing. It only works if everyone starts from the same place, right? But if we're talking about equity, that when we talk about equity, we're talking about fairness, access to the same services and opportunities, we must first ensure equity before we can begin to enjoy equality. And the number of immigrants here in Iceland has increased dramatically in the last two decades. 20 years ago, immigrants accounted only for 2.6% of the population. But today, as I said earlier, immigrants make up over 15% of the entire population, and that's about 45,000 residents and growing. The three largest groups of immigrants here in Iceland are from Poland, Lithuania, and the Philippines. This influx of immigrants has dramatically changed the racial and ethnic makeup of Icelandic society within a relatively short timeframe.  The largest group of women comes from Poland, with over 7,000 Polish females living in Iceland, and 3,400 Polish women are of a childbearing age. Nonetheless, of the 290 midwives working here in Iceland, only about 2-3% are of foreign origin, and this is including 2 midwives working in Iceland that are of Polish origin. Now, throughout the world, healthcare systems are placing an emphasis on encouraging and embracing cultural diversity within the workforce in order to mirror and better serve a changing population. A lack of diversity within healthcare professions can lead to disparities in the provision of services for very diverse groups. It's always good to have this in mind. And the Icelandic maternity healthcare services, here in Iceland, there is universal healthcare. Prenatal visits are conducted at the local health clinics in each of the neighborhoods. The woman attends the clinic that's in her neighborhood, and high-risk pregnancies are recommended to be taken care of at the hospitals. 7 to 10 antenatal visits during pregnancy are under midwifery-led care, and midwives and obstetricians work together if complications arise during pregnancy or in labor. 74% of births occur in a hospital setting, and the woman receives 5 to 7 home care visits in the 10 days after giving birth. Although foreign women are generally satisfied with the care they receive, a growing number of studies is shedding light on the difficulties and challenges that they experience. In a qualitative study in Iceland in the year 2011, so exactly 10 years ago from this year, seven women of foreign background were interviewed about Icelandic midwifery-led maternal healthcare services here. Results suggested that immigrant women in Iceland often had different cultural views towards pregnancy causing conflict in maternity care, had inconsistently effective communication with healthcare professionals, and were more likely to experience isolation and depression after birth. Now studies from other countries have shown similar results. Difficulties in communication, insensitive remarks, stereotyping, prejudice, unfamiliarity with the healthcare system, lack of information, for example, educational materials and websites aren't available in many languages, interpretation services are lacking or of poor quality. Some women are unaware of services because of this lack of information, and isolation and depression after birth can be very common. On the other hand, healthcare professionals also experience challenges when providing care for for migrant women and their families. Attempting to understand the experiences of women in this vulnerable group can be very demanding, as many of us have experienced. And many studies suggest that language barriers are a very common challenge that healthcare professionals encounter. There are varying levels of health literacy for each woman, and different cultures and subcultures make learning about culturally competent care very difficult. A lot of foreign born women require more emotional support because of the many stresses that they experience just moving to a different country and adjusting. Also, some foreign women are more likely to experience pregnancy complications. And there are many differences in maternity care between countries. Like I experienced myself as an American moving to Iceland, the two different healthcare systems are just like black and white. For example, like with the Caesarean section rates. And also not to mention the many systematic barriers that healthcare professionals can encounter, although a midwife wants her to do her best to provide care for a woman who might, for example, not understand the common language spoken or is living in difficult social circumstances. These there are certain systematic barriers that that hinder from the providing the high quality care that these women deserve. And so my research is as follow question is as follows. Do migrant women experience less respect and autonomy and decision making and more mistreatment in maternity care than native born Icelandic women? In order to research this question, I've designed a survey called the maternity care and Iceland survey or MCI for short. The survey is I incorporated so 88 to 100 survey items, depending on how the woman answers the questions. And I ask about socio demographic background, birth intentions and outcomes, as well as incorporating standardized instruments into the survey. The participants were women over 18 years old, who were pregnant and had given birth in Iceland between the years 2015 to 2021, and were proficient in either Icelandic, English or Polish. Yes, the survey was translated and back translated and then reviewed by community leaders and women from the different communities to ensure accuracy, which that in itself was a lot of work, but I think work well spent. And to collect data, I've used convenient sampling and to better distribute the survey among women. I designed a website as well for to include information about the survey and links to the survey in different languages. The survey was regularly advertised on social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram, which are most commonly used by this demographic from April 1 2021 until April 30 2021. So I just finished collecting data. And I incorporated these the following instruments into the survey. The mothers on respect index score will measure the respect mothers experience in their care. The mother's autonomy in decision making scale will measure the mother's level of autonomy while making decisions about her care options. And the mistreatment by care providers in childbirth indicators will measure the level of mistreatment that the mother's experience while receiving intrapartum care during birth, right? And I will discuss each of these instruments further in the following slides. So Maury or the mothers on respect index. It was originally developed in British Columbia. Maury is a client informed quality and safety indicator that can be applied across jurisdictions to assess the nature of provider patient relationships and access to person centered maternity care. It was originally a 14 item scale. And it can be administered with a six point like response format with slightly different questions on branching pages for specific populations. It assesses the nature of respectful patient provider interactions and their impact on a person's sense of comfort, behavior and perceptions of racism or discrimination. Because of the focus of this study on immigrant women, I have decided to use the adopted 17 item Maury scale, including perceptions of racism, which was adopted for this use in the United States. There are four questions, number 11, such as I felt discriminated against. Item number 12, my care provider use language I could not understand. And item 17, how often have you felt treated unfairly because of your race, heritage or ethnic group have been added. MADM or the mother's autonomy and decision making scale is an instrument for assessing the experience of decision making during maternity care. The seven item scale was developed and content validated by community members representing various populations of childbearing women in British Columbia originally, including women from vulnerable populations. The MADM measures women's ability to lead decision making, whether they're giving in given enough time to consider their options and whether their choices are respected. It reflects person during priorities and reliably assesses interactions with maternity providers related to a person's ability to lead decision making over the course of their maternity care. For example, it asks that the care provider help the woman understand all the information when receiving maternity care. And the third instrument I incorporated into the survey is called the MCPC or mistreatment by care providers in childbirth indicators. I have decided to include these indicators because they measure other domains that align with the World Health Organization's typology of mistreatment such as stigma, failure to meet professional standards of care, lack of informed consent and loss of autonomy. This adaptation of the survey has been used when conducting research in the United States and items are patient designed and patient validated to measure mistreatment in childbirth. Because foreign women are considered a vulnerable population, asking them about mistreatment during childbirth can give us a more complete picture of their experiences. For example, it asks, did your midwife or doctor ask you what you wanted to do before any of the procedures were done such as episiotomy, continuous fetal monitoring or screening tests?  And some ethical considerations. This study received approval by the Icelandic Bioethics Committee on October 20, 2020. And women were asked to read a consent form available, of course, in Icelandic, English and Polish, and were requested to provide informed consent before they began the survey. All participants were able to take a break and stop participating whenever they liked, and all answers were anonymous. Participants were directed towards resources that would provide them with support through lend me your ear or in Icelandic it's called which is a service provided by midwives to give women an opportunity to discuss their difficult birth experiences in case the survey brought up difficult issues for them. Or women were told about the women's shelter if they indicated that they have experienced mental or physical abuse. The information about these resources was available, of course, in Icelandic, English and Polish methods. For the methods, we decided to have exposure value variables, the country of origin. So it's dichotomous. So we were going to split the two groups into native Icelandic women and then other so women of foreign origin. Outcome variables will be will be calculated from the three instruments that we talked about earlier. Experience, respect will be calculated from the Mori score, experience autonomy and decision making from the MADM score, mistreatment in childbirth from the MCPC indicators, and childbirth experience will also be considered. Covariates will be parity, maternal age, residence status, marital status, education, employment, language, year of birth, mode of delivery and newborn health. I am currently I just finished collecting the data. So currently I'm going to start analyzing the data, which is the fun part, right? And so I'll look at background factors. We'll use descriptive analysis, student T tests, Fisher's exact exact test, child square test and logistic regression. And hopefully I'll be able to publish my results by the end of the year. But it's really nice to tell you that the total of 2370 mothers participated in the survey. And of those 1,829 answered in Icelandic, 327 answered in English, and 214 answered in Polish. And this survey here in Iceland, it's it's most of the surveys about, for example, healthcare or maternity care are in have been conducted in Icelandic. And they have failed to collect data in English and Polish. So this is one of the first studies that's able to do this when we're looking at maternity care here in Iceland. And, yeah, like I say, hopefully I'll have really interesting results to publish late in the later months. And as part of the discussion, I'm sort of very much looking forward to see how these results, you know, of whether or not migrant women experience less respect, less autonomy and more mistreatment in the native born Icelandic women. And also especially I would like to look at and discuss factors such as the duration of women's residency here, their immigration status, their level of education, job status, level of income, the language proficiency, and even being a person of color, whether any of these sort of play a factor in women's experiences. And it is my hope that this doctoral study will give healthcare professionals, administrators, and policymakers insight into the experiences of migrant women within the Icelandic maternity healthcare system. At the 72nd World Health Assembly in May 2019, the four guiding principles in the resolution on health of migrants and refugees included, one, the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, two, equality and non-discrimination, three, equitable access to healthcare services, four, people centered migrant and refugee and gender gender sensitive health systems. In Iceland, the inability of the healthcare systems to provide care for the quickly increasing immigrant population has created a gap of disparity in healthcare between minority and majority populations. And shedding light on the experiences of this vulnerable population is the first step in improving maternity care for these women and their families. And I would like to end my presentation with a quote from Birth Matters, a mid-wise manifesto written by the inspiring Anna Megaskin. The way a culture treats women in birth is a good indicator of how well women and their contributions to society are valued and honored. And with that, I would like to thank you so very much for spending your time with me and listening to the work I've been doing. And I would love to answer any questions that you guys may have. So feel free. I think there's a question. Can I see a question from the chat? Reena is asking, why aren't these tools more widely used? Wish they were widely used in public. Do you have any suggestions for Reena about Birthplace Lab? Yes. Exactly. I have in my, let me back up here. Oh, sorry, forward. Here in my references, you can check out the amazing studies, Sova Dam and Stoll, they run the Birthplace Lab. And here you can see, if you look at my references, you can see the papers that they've published about their work. And also you'll see if you Google even the Birthplace Lab, you'll see the work that they do. And you can have access to the instruments, to sort of research in your own settings. Really great work. And actually, Catherine Stoll, who you see is one of the writers of the articles, she is actually in my doctoral committee. And it's been invaluable having her input when I'm collecting the data and how I'm analyzing the data and things like that. So, and they're very, very, very open to collaboration. And I know these instruments have been used in other countries as well. Canada, the United States, the Netherlands, Sweden, and more and more countries are using these instruments. And Cindy Farley is asking, I understand Icelandic language is challenging. How are you doing with that? I think in my situation, Cindy, that's a really great question. It was a sort of sink or swim situation. So, because the Icelandic, like I told you guys in the beginning of my presentation, I attended nursing school actually here in Iceland. And the curriculum and everything, the teaching and everything is done in Icelandic. So, I just had to be really good about attending all the classes, looking at all the slides, and translating from English to Icelandic to English and making sure I understood everything. And then also just listening to how proper Icelandic is spoken and reading Icelandic articles and the material in Icelandic, I sort of slowly, but surely picked up the language and learned. And so that was, and I also, as a nurse, we do, and in midwife, we do a lot of practical training. So, I was able to practice my Icelandic with my colleagues, nursing students, midwifery students, my patients. And so slowly, but surely I was able to get Icelandic done. So, yes, I am fluent today in Icelandic, but I've also lived here about 12 years. And I think Anika is asking, I'm wondering if you think change can be implemented based on your research. That is a wonderful question, Anika. And I'm so glad to see you here. I think that is my hope. I hope it can be. But change can only happen if we, you know, sort of get the right people to listen to the work that we're doing and also to demand it. And so just to sort of spread the awareness of the research, what, because I don't have the results yet, but hopefully the results will shed some light on the situation. And from there, we can continue to present the data, to present the research and to present our sort of suggestions and recommendations. Because if change does need to happen, it's good to have the research and the evidence to back it up. And so that we know which way we should go and what needs to be, you know, what needs to be addressed. What is causing the inequities in our healthcare systems? Where should we start? Great question. And just looking back to the birth lab information, Dr. Vadam was one of our keynotes last year. So if you go, you can access all our recordings. So if you'd like to go to, seems like a long time ago, 2020, Saris did a lovely job talking about birth lab and utilisation of tools, et cetera, et cetera.


Welcome to season two of the Shure Pressure series here at Everton's Training Ground. I'm Alan Russell, an elite attacking coach, and I work with some of the world's top players. I've been working with Shure and designed a new set of drills which test some of the league's best under pressure. We have Wayne Rooney, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Davie Classen. Let's see how they get on this movie. Finish one, pinpoint precision. Can you receive at the edge of the box, create space and find the finish. Finish number two, the last man. Can you receive at the edge of the box, fake your opponent, keep your cool and finish. Finish number three, on the turn. Can you get in front of the defender, take a tight touch round the corner and find the net. Finish number four, the pressure touch. Under pressure from the defender, can you take the perfect touch and execute. Finish number five, the front post finish. Can you get behind the defender's sight line, make a quick bust to the front post and finish. The scoring is three points for a goal and minus one for failure to hit the target. He wants to go first. Yes Wayne, ready? First finish. Get back in, finish two. Come on Garly. Finish three, touch round the corner. Yes, four, let's go. Last one, recover and finish. Nice that was. Don't make you good to go. Finish one, back in. Reset, finish number two. Get in front, go. Finish four, go. Finish five, finish strong. Hot for the dormitory. Finish two, keep the standard up. Finish David, slow down, slow down. Take your run. Yes David, composure on fire. You score this, you win it. Take him on David lad. David. Right, third place. Six points. Lucky Wayne, second, eleven. David, winner, twelve points. Hold on. Good stuff.


A little while ago, I actually caught a fish with an artificial grasshopper. So much for matching wits with the wily trout, which you can't blame him, he was probably just hungry. If anybody needs their head examined, it's probably me for standing in a stream in December. But at least the sun's out. Hello, my name's Jim Sloan. I've been teaching in Penn State's online geospatial education program since 2003. Back in my graduate school days, I spent a lot of time paleo reconstructing world maps. I wrote code for and did things by hand that people who use GIS software now take for granted. I finally started using GIS software in the early 90s when we wanted to make shaded relief backgrounds for thematic maps. It was a long after that that I started teaching people about geographic information science and how to get things done with GIS software. And I've been fortunate enough to have been able to do it ever since then. So welcome to the program. And I hope to have you in one of my classes.


and welcome to the session I am searching and I am going to help you with the following question. Question is, using elementary transformations, find the inverse of each of the matrices. If it exists, the given matrices 1, 3, minus 2, minus 3, 0, minus 5, 2, 5, 0. Let us start with the solution of let A is equal to matrix 1, 3, minus 2, minus 3, 0, minus 5, 2, 5, 0. Now, to find inverse by row transformation method, we will write A is equal to IA, where I is the identity matrix or we can write matrix 1, 3, minus 2, minus 3, 0, minus 5, 2, 5, 0 is equal to matrix 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1 multiplied by A. Now, to make this element equal to 0, we will apply on R2, row operation R2 plus 3 R1. And to make this element equal to 0, we will apply on R3, row operation R3 minus 2 R1. Now, we can write, applying row operation R2 plus 3 R1 and on R3, row operation R3 minus 2 R1. We get the matrix 1, 3, minus 2, 0, 9, minus 11, 0, minus 1, 4 is equal to matrix 1, 0, 0, 3, 1, 0, minus 2, 0, 1 multiplied by A. Now, to make this diagonal element equal to 1, we will apply on R2, row operation 1 upon 9, R2. So, you can write, applying R2, row operation 1 upon 9, R2, we get matrix 1, 3, minus 2, 0, 1, minus 11 upon 9, 0, minus 1, 4 is equal to matrix 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 multiplied by A. To make this element equal to 0, we will apply on R1, row operation R1 minus 3 R2 and to make this element equal to 0, we will apply on R3, row operation R3 plus R2. So, we can write, applying row operation R1 minus 3 R2 and applying on R3, row operation R3 plus R2 we get matrix 1, 0, 5 upon 3, 0, 1, minus 11 upon 9, 0, 0, 25 upon 9, 0 multiplied by A. 1, 9 is equal to matrix 0 minus 1 upon 3 0, 1 upon 3 1 upon 9 0, minus 5 upon 3, 1 upon 9 1 matrix multiplied by 8. Now, to make this element equal to 1, we will apply on R3, row operation 9 upon 25 R3. So, we can write, applying on R3, row operation 9 upon 25 R3, we get matrix 1 0 5 upon 3 0 1 minus 11 upon 9 0 0 1 is equal to matrix 0 minus 1 upon 3 1 upon 9 0 minus 3 upon 5 1 upon 25 9 upon 25, multiplied by 8.  So, we can write, applying on R1, row operation R1 minus 5 upon 3 R and on R2, row operation R2 plus 11 upon 9 R3. So, we get the matrix 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 is equal to matrix 1 minus 2 upon 5 minus 3 upon 5 minus 2 upon 5 4 upon 25 11 upon 25 minus 3 upon 5 1 upon 25 9 upon 25 multiplied by 8. Now, we have obtained the identity matrix on the left hand side. So, we will stop the elementary row operations here. Now, we know identity matrix is also equal to A inverse multiplied by 8. Really, this is an identity matrix. Comparing these two expressions, we get A inverse is equal to this matrix. So, we can write A inverse is equal to matrix 1 minus 2 upon 5 minus 3 upon 5 minus 2 upon 5 4 upon 25 11 upon 25 minus 3 upon 5 1 upon 25 9 upon 25. So, our required inverse is given by the matrix 1 minus 2 upon 5 minus 3 upon 5 minus 2 upon 5 4 upon 25 11 upon 25 minus 3 upon 5 1 upon 25 9 upon 25. This completes our session. Hope you enjoyed the session. Take care and goodbye.


Up to this point, we've been using Python as a glorified desk calculator. In arithmetic, you did calculations, then you moved up to algebra where you used variables. In a similar way, we're now going to move from calculations in Python to using variables in Python. Similar but not identical because variables in Python do not work exactly the same as variables do in algebra. Let's look at this statement in Python. You may be tempted to read it as x equal 42 because of that symbol in the middle, but what it really is saying is x refers to the value 42. As the book says, you should read that symbol in the middle as refers to gets or is assigned. The way Python evaluates this and the way you should evaluate it is to look at the value on the right-hand side first. Always, always, always start on the right-hand side. So that value 42 goes into memory somewhere. And then the variable on the left-hand side x refers to the value 42. Let's follow that with another statement. x refers to 7.3. Again, we start on the right-hand side. The value of the right-hand side is 7.3 and that gets put into memory. Then we look at the left-hand side and say x now refers to 7.3. The 42 is left around in memory and it'll eventually get cleaned up. What about using variables in further calculations? In this code, after the first statement is done, x refers to the value 7.3. In the second statement, y refers to x plus 1.2. We always, always, always start out with the right-hand side and figure out what it works out to. Well, what is x referring to right now? 7.3. That means we can substitute as 7.3 plus 1.2 and the right-hand side works out to 8.5 and that value goes into memory. Now and only now can we look at the left-hand side and find that the variable y refers to 8.5. So that's the status of memory at this point in our program. To drive home the point that the variables in Python don't work like the ones in algebra, let's look at this set of two statements. At the end of the first statement, x refers to 5. That's what the first statement says. But let's look at that second statement. In algebra, that doesn't make any sense at all. 5 doesn't equal 6. But again, this isn't algebra. Instead, you're going to follow the rule. Whenever you see that symbol in the middle, you will always go to the right-hand side first and work it out completely. What's in x right this moment? x right now refers to 5, so that substitutes to 5 plus 1, so the right-hand side works out to 6. Now and only now can I look at the left-hand side and say, who's referring to that 6? Answer, x. So x now refers to 6 instead of the 5. What we've done, by the way, is called incrementing x. You'll see this pattern. x refers to x plus 1, almost said equals there. x refers to x plus 1, or x is assigned x plus 1, a lot in Python and a lot in programming because it's very common to have computers do counting. The moral of the story, whenever you see something like that thing at the top, you read a variable refers to value, or a variable is assigned value, or variable gets value. You go to the right-hand side first and figure out what that value works out to. Once you've completely worked it out, then the variable on the left will refer to that value.


Hey what's going on everyone it is be Avery here and I want to thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of just my opinion. Another episode of the box office I'm going to title this video the stupidest release schedule in the world. Oh my goodness gracious I feel so passionate about that. You know I already know why. Solo a Star Wars story did not come remotely close to what they projected to what the tracking is. I mean there's just so many things going on wrong with this film as to why it did not reach the mark that they wanted.  This film did not do well at all. I saw the film if you want to subscribe to my channel you can go back and check out my review. I did enjoy the film I didn't love it there's a lot of people crapping on it but I think there's a lot of the critics but at the same time they had like an A minus cinema score so I mean there's just like a lot of factors. I've been I've been screaming since like last October November I even made a video saying it's Disney and Fox stupid or they insane or something like that because I just don't understand this release schedule but there's more to why Solo did not do well at the box office besides the release schedule. There's some stuff that I don't even think about overseas as well as the worldwide box office and we're going to get into that but before we get into all the details let's just go ahead and look at the top five or the top 10 or whatever I want to look at for Memorial Day weekend that just passed this week I did a short little video excuse me on Monday but I'm just now coming back to you on Thursday because I wanted to wait for the actuals but coming in and it's late news now but oh well coming in at number one was solo a Star Wars story bringing in 84 million dollars 84 million four hundred and twenty thousand four hundred eighty nine dollars at four thousand three hundred eighty one locations now eighty five eighty four million dollars for a three day opening weekend is not bad for a film but when you project it is so high and with this being a Star Wars film and then all of those are making at least one hundred million dollars and just so many factors I mean this should have made more for the four day weekend it did make 103 million but that's the four day it's not three day that's including um you know Monday coming in at number two is a Deadpool for the three day weekend making 43 million dollars they had a 65 drop now a six that is a lot but we have to give context to it because if a film drops 60 percent 70 percent from weekend one to weekend two okay if it made a freak effing ton the first weekend like affinity war did 257 million it's okay if it drops a lot the second weekend because most of people saw it the first weekend well Deadpool kind of feel below expectations as uh as far as money and quality is concerned um you know the the first film opened with a hundred and thirty two second film opened with 125 and uh you know the first film dropped was 57 percent uh the second film is uh 65 second weekend for Deadpool one was 56 million Deadpool two is uh 43 million like I just said that's the difference around 12 13 uh million dollars they may not seem a lot but you know that is a lot over the run of the over the theatrical run so um so low in Deadpool I did not do a spoiler review for it but to be honest guys I don't think that I am because I just don't care enough to see it like I'm not gonna I'm gonna when I do videos I have to be passionate about it every once in a while I'll do a video if somebody asks me to do it but I don't want to get into the thing of just doing stuff when people want me to do it because that's why people get burnt out and they abandon their channels for months at a time it's happened to me in the past so I'm not sure that a spoiler review will come for those two films if they do it'll just be a surprise coming in at number three is Avengers infinity war dropping another 41 percent at 17 million dollars is now in 3700 theaters book club coming in at number four at 10 million dollars and that film is doing um pretty well I think I don't know what the budget was for book club I can look it up real quick um let's see here because it's staying in the top five and this is what it's third release I mean third weekend release see no it's the second week so excuse me I'm thinking this is a third or fourth week but my bed y'all when I'm still very curious on what the um the budget would be for book club and the budget was 10 million dollars so it's already at 37 uh million um you know 38 billion for to be 39 million there's only a couple few thousand away from 39 million so that's making money that's it's well into profit land now life of the party which I will be watching this weekend and hopefully reviewing uh came in at number five with another five million dollars and breaking in with Gabrielle Union is coming in at number six kind of right there behind um life of the party both of those debut during uh not Memorial Day but Mother's Day weekend breaking in was a very bland film but I was still very entertained by right now worldwide is at 40 million dollars the budget was only six million dollars uh by James McTeague so that's well into profit land right there you know my rule of three is three times the budget it would have been 18 million and this already passed that so good uh good up to you Gabrielle Union I am a fan of yours pretty lady coming in at number seven is showdogs with another three million overlord is coming in at number eight with three another three million a quiet place is still in the top 10 with two million dollars this is in this has been in theaters for two months now eight weeks it's in this eight week another two million dollars the budget for that film was 17 million worldwide it is at three hundred and fourteen million dollars that is freaking insane uh John Krasinski and Paramount great job guys hopefully we can get Emily Blunt and John Krasinski to be Mr and Mrs Fantastic and Fantastic Four hopefully when the Fox and the Marvel Disney merger happens if it's approved and you know we get all that good stuff I would love to see them as in the Fantastic Four coming in at number 10 is RBG at 1.2 million now we are out of the top uh 10 but there's just still some films that I'm concerned about uh of course like Black Panther you know we're gonna talk about that uh yeah that's old now Rampage with the Rock the Wayne the Rod Johnson that is at four hundred and thirteen million dollars worldwide right worldwide right now domestically it didn't hit uh it did not hit a hundred million this is 94 million dollars right now I don't think that it is going to make uh that a hundred million dollars oh excuse me excuse me I'm sorry guys domestically uh yeah it's it's not gonna I seriously doubt it's gonna do that but the unless they spend a stupid amount of money on marketing uh outside of the norm it is doing very well well it's doing well it did what it needed to do it did enough to want a sequel I would not shoot the budget up that much higher uh but you know I enjoyed the film I enjoyed enough to why I'm gonna buy it when it when it comes out um there's just some scenes in that movie that I can't wait to see again um Amy Schumer has no pool um and Black Panther baby let's talk about Black Panther real quick worldwide right now 1 billion 345 million that's great ah man domestically I just not sure it's gonna hit the 700 million I don't know right now it is at 698 million dollars so let me get my calculator real quick I just want to see what exactly it needs to be a little little more than one million but I just want to be exact exact exact okay 700 million minus 698 838 368 it just needs 1 million 161 632 to reach the 700 million dollar uh milestone domestically and with the film bringing in uh another where you at 481 million dollars I said 481 million 481 thousand dollars I don't know I mean maybe if it's in theaters another month maybe it'll reach it I don't know but I'm gonna be singing and dancing yes even though the money is not going to black people uh if it reaches that amount of money right there uh shoot the dare is just another thing that stood out to me um if you're watching this video I just posted my review for um upgrade which is done by Blumhouse and I forgot to mention her in my review I'm gonna mention her now Betty Gabriel you were in the upgrade you were in the you was in get out and also purrs the election you did a fantastic job in the movie ma'am um sorry that I did not put that in the review I just forgot and I have it right here but I brought up truth of the dare because upgrade is Blumhouse truth of the dare is Blumhouse and so their budget for truth of the dare was 3.5 million dollars and right now say 82 million worldwide I mean they can't lose they're gonna make money just by default just by accidents I mean if you make a movie that cheap and you just put it in enough theaters people are gonna be like I wonder what that's about you know even if the movie is garbage it's it's I'm not hating on them but it's not fair I mean it is fair I'm joking but you know guys that right there is the number um the number 10 uh box office and a little bit more um for the four day weekend dare pool did 53 million infinity war did 22 million now I am not entirely sure what the budget was for Star Wars or solo Star Wars film I believe it was around 300 million dollars whoa B why was it so much well because um you know Lord and Miller they got fired on the job they had to bring in um Ron Howard he reshot over 80 percent of the film if you're gonna I mean really just making the movie over again so um you know the marketing was super high I mean this is probably overall like a four to five hundred million dollar budget including the marketing um if I'm wrong there please let me know respectfully in the comment section below but this movie is gonna lose this this movie I mean this movie is gonna lose money I don't see how it's remotely close going to do well and in any sense I mean you know the opening for the force awakens was 245 million rogue one was 200 million Star Wars The Last Jedi was 2200 no two I can't talk guys okay the budget wait am I talking about the budget or the opening excuse me I'm all over the place the budget for Star Wars The Force Awakens was 245 rogue one was 200 million and uh I believe it was like 250 for The Last Jedi and solo Star Wars movie is well above all of those and this is the weakest film I mean I mean just like people saying this is a perfect storm why well nobody cared to see a solo movie okay um I don't they announced a bubble fit movie I don't care to see that I want to see a one movie but nobody cared to see it another thing is Star Wars I mean another thing we just had a Star Wars movie in December and so you want to give us another one already in May I mean that's just too close the first time we had Star Wars movies it was three films over like a six-year period in the 70s and 80s and then in the early 2000s 99 2000s that we got three more films now since 2015 we're in our fourth film so that's just too much right there spread it out we just had a Star Wars film The Last Jedi but now we get another one a lot of people did not like The Last Jedi too the film is very divisive and so you know like people just like no you know what I don't like where Star Wars is going I'm not gonna see solo plus it's a movie I don't even want to see I mean I don't I don't blame them there so you have that factor as well you got people saying they're gonna boycott it and to be honest with you guys I'm like I said I'm a Star Wars fan but I'm currently I'm not satisfied or happy with what they're doing with Star Wars I don't care either because I'm just not like I want to see more Star Wars films okay but if they say okay solo Star Wars film with solo Star Wars movie that's the last Star Wars movie I'm like really okay and I would not lose any sleep now if they said hey we're getting away we're doing away with you know no more comic book movies or no more Marvel movies then I would throw a fit you know but that's just you know my taste but I'm not I'm not satisfied because I mean with The Force Awakens I copy too much of episode four The Last Jedi come on man what what they did with some of the characters it was boring the casino scene was wack there was just a lot of things that we just needed to see and that that film reminded me of the whole original trilogy I love role going that was fantastic and you know solo Star Wars story you know that was that was good but I said I liked the two anthology films more than the episodic films so there you go there but then I was watching screen junkies and Darren Merrill he was talking about this solo did not do that well overseas as well I mean it's been released in majority of his territories let me let me god leave this I'm sorry guys I cannot I cannot see that well and my cursor always disappears from him but let me try to look at the release dates worldwide for solo to see how many other territories it opened up in I believe it opened up in China already too to the sum of around 10 million dollars which sucks oh it opened everywhere it's yeah the only other places that haven't opened is Croatia which is opened up today and then Japan June 29th so yeah it's open everywhere man that sucks so let me just go to solo real quick and look at the foreign let me click summary real quick first I mean it right now I said a hundred and seventy a hundred and ninety seven million a hundred and ninety seven million dollars worldwide only 82 million dollars foreign that's f-ing horrible man like damn and then you got China over here no yeah it said nine million nine million eight hundred dollars nine million eight hundred thousand let me go to the numbers real quick that website because they're a little bit up to date as far as the numbers are concerned let's see here where you at okay solo Star Wars international here we go so China okay see see box office module has the China numbers at nine million dollars nine million eight hundred fifty three thousand but the numbers is a little more up to date with the form releases they have China at eleven million dollars eleven million three hundred and sixty then you're ninety kingdom and teammate so this just sucks this movie is gonna lose money I'm I don't I don't want it to but I mean that's just the reality of it okay I mean there's just no excuse me there's just no other way around it uh I mean box office module they have these comparison things for all the Star Wars movies there's no point of going over that so I'm not and you know the same thing with Deadpool too you know Deadpool is even outpacing okay now this week this past week it is outpacing the first Deadpool but barely by like a few dollars you don't understand but Disney so far this year has had four films if they've had more than that let me know in the comments they've had a wrinkle in time of course they had Black Panther has Solo and Avengers Infinity War and they're two for two had two hits and two mega flops uh wrinkle in time and Solo or flopping and Infinity War and Black Panther doing great so you know I don't know Disney I think I saw somewhere to where their budget for films is five or I think it's just the film entertainment industry I mean I think it's like four point nine billion I have to verify that you know for all of the films all all movie entertainment things I have to double check on that but you know Black Panther and Infinity War is doing great but wrinkle in time and Solo or not I believe the next Disney film is the Pixar film which is uh Incredibles 2 which comes comes out next month or a couple of weeks from yeah well June is tomorrow um I'm going to be rewatching Incredibles 1 on Blu-ray because it's just a great film um I've been talking about these release schedules for Solo and how stupid they are um I mean Disney cannot control what Fox is doing but they can't control what Solo was doing people were saying that they should have put Solo in uh in December there would have been a horrible idea and I do not agree with that at all because it is just too stacked but they should have put it in August so let's just look real quick um at the release schedule for August of 2018 so August 3rd you have Christopher Robin and The Darkest Minds and August 10th you have the Meg um A Prayer Before Dawn gotta check that out the Blacks Klansman August 17th you have happy time murders and I think there was like a big release on August um no wait what I think and when does uh when does uh what should call it come out uh uh not uh Mission Impossible so yeah Mission Impossible comes out July 27th okay so of course you don't so got my calendar here uh let's go to July so yeah July 27th so at the earliest you would want to release um a film you know two weeks but after any other major blockbuster but you don't even got to do that man you so I said that July 27th there is nothing like and you don't want it Meg is not going to be no contender you could have released Solo the last week of August man like seriously you could have released it a week after Slender Man and you would have had no competition or like the first week of September there's nothing there for you to compete with plus there's some movie that nobody wanted to see um you have so many problems behind the scenes we're reshooting that just could have gave you an extra three months to work on the film you know I'm saying and guys they these studios and these visual effect houses they'd be working on these films at the last minute sometimes they don't get they don't get certain like visual effects turned in until like a week before the film is released sometimes days and hours you know like one one of the things that I really learned a lot about film growing up is just the special features on DVDs all the behind the scenes and listen to the commentary they release a lot of information on those I mean that's not the only place but you know just sometimes like yeah you see this effect here you know we didn't finish this till three days before deadline so it just doesn't make any sense to me I mean so Avengers Infinity War was going to be the first well May 4th but they brought it up a week Deadpool 2 could have been pushed back it was really supposed to be June 1st but then they moved it to May 18th then they uh uh yeah it was May 18th they should have pushed Deadpool 2 Memorial Day weekend that would have put Deadpool 2 and Infinity War exactly four weeks apart Fox always used to take the memorial day weekend anyway and then put Solo in August I mean more marketing we didn't even get to see a trailer into the Superbowl I mean it's just it's just it's just stupid guys uh this is dumb they're dumb for doing that they're stupid they're stupid stupid stupid but anyway last but not least I always talk about the showdown between Black Panther and Infinity War and all that you know the day-to-day so right now actually let me go up real quick so while uh Avengers Infinity War made 17 million dollars this past weekend uh Black Panther in this fifth weekend made 26 million and so next weekend Black Panther made 17 million which is what um I'm sorry in the six and Black Panther's sixth weekend it made 17 million dollars uh Infinity War made then this fifth fifth weekend and you know I just you know it may be a missed opportunity I'm not gonna call Disney stupid or Marvel stupid for not putting more Black Panther in Avengers Infinity War I bet they're kind of kicking themselves in the in the in the uh or kicking rocks right now kicking themselves in the butt now if they don't put more Black Panther in Wakanda in Avengers 4 y'all are dumb uh you should should the uh they're doing reshoots in the fall reshoots are normal that doesn't mean the film sucks anything like that and just going like the day-to-day with a Black Panther and Infinity War since both those in theaters right now Wednesday Black Panther 1 again 2 million versus Infinity War is 1.4 Tuesday Black Panther 1 2.8 compared to Infinity War is 1.9 I mean right now Black I mean Infinity War still winning you know at this point with a total of 631 million domestically versus uh Black Panther 612 but it's gonna catch it you know I don't think I think maybe Infinity War is gonna top out maybe at uh maybe 675 or something like that domestically you know uh if they don't get to 6 it'll get to 650 I'll be very very disappointed um as far as the worldwide is concerned overall all time world let's do uh domestic first Black Panther is number three Avengers Infinity War is number six adjusting for inflation I think the Black Panther is still going to be number 30 yep Infinity War is number 41 and worldwide right now Avengers Infinity War is number four uh The Force Awakens is uh is number three Black Panther is at number nine so out of the top 10 worldwide of all time one two three four Marvel Disney films and so you know but guys there you have it that is just my box office rundown for the Memorial Day weekend covering solo Infinity War Deadpool 2 and a number of other films uh you know I'm very disappointed of the release schedule also I brought up something um like there was a big sporting event overseas like one of the biggest sporting events in the world because apparently the Super Bowl is not the biggest event that's just in the world they just kind of make that lie up to uh you know I guess get more viewers but uh that was another reason why solo didn't do so well overseas uh this past weekend but guys I said all that but that is just my opinion for the box office rundown what did you think did I leave anything out you know did I turn you on did I turn you off do you agree with me or do you disagree with me let me know down in the comment section below let's get this conversation going and keep it flowing if you like this video go ahead and give me a thumbs up and if you don't that's fine but you can still subscribe to my channel and also follow me on all social media Facebook Instagram and Twitter it's right through the bottom of the screen and I made it very easy by providing a link to all the good stuff there in the description box below but guys I just want to thank you again so much for tuning in to my opinion slash review slash recap of you know the box office rundown for Memorial Day weekend and before you go don't forget then my name is brandy kid Avery and that's just my opinion peace


What supports can an autistic adult or, I'll do the adult part again, but, or a parent of an autistic child use to reduce centre of things? Where could they start? My starting place and what I encourage parents to do as well is do an assessment of your home. What art? Where are the sounds coming from? Where are the smells coming from? And for our home, I keep small kitchen appliances in the garage, so the coffee grinder, the blender, those are in the garage. I close the door behind me to use them. I'm really aware of the cleaners that we use and soaps and detergents. Unscented. I close the curtains if there's a lot of like bright sunshine or contrasting. I'll try to close the curtains before my son comes in the room, especially in the morning, going from dark to light, that big contrast. We've replaced fans. It's like our bathroom fan. We replace them. Oh, hey, there's yeah. It's the ones that connect to the lights when you put the light on as well. Yes. That's and even in the community, we keep track of what bathrooms have fans that come on with the light switch. And that kind of goes along with the assessment thing of during your due diligence. I look for soft materials. So replacing anything that has buttons or zippers or feels scratchy, especially if you have a person who experiences self-injurious behaviors, making sure that you're not pulling in a pillow that has buttons and zippers. That would be dangerous. So you can also look at your decor. Maybe you have too many colors and it's visually too much input. You can look at if your child or the person autistic person has spatial awareness challenges. Can you put some cushions on the corners so that they're not injuring themselves because they're spatial awareness? A lot of it just really is being diligent and assessing the environment. To say that kind of because I would agree with you as well. I think the best course of action is to remove things at the source. You want to remove things before adding in things that could help because I feel like if you can remove the sources of the stress, it's better than having the sources of the stress tools or having ways to deal with that stress. You just want to get rid of it first. So it's just not a special environment. Maybe this isn't the time to run the dishwasher. For my son, it's hard for him to eat if the dishwasher is running. So I'll just put it on pause. It's not a big deal. In terms of adding things back in, we have a swing and when my kids stop using it, I know it's time to put a different swing attachment up. For my daughter, I use the TheraPressure brush or lotion. We talk a TheraPressure brush. They call it the Wilberger protocol, but we don't follow it exactly. But it's kind of like a little silicone bristles that fold easily and it gives some good for pre-acceptive input. You just do long strokes like on the arms, legs, or the back. She actually will take it with her to school in her pocket and just use it on the palms of her hands. I might need to get one of those. It's pretty cool. It just gives them nice deep pressure. Two different occupational therapists have recommended it at different times. One for my son and one for my daughter at different times for different purposes. But she really seeks that out and lotion for her as well. If she comes home dysregulated, that's kind of one of the first tools.  But removing sensory input and then pulling in the right sensory input is so important. We use a lot of cool lights. So the, you know, like the galaxy projector lights, that has been really successful in our home. That's really fun. I pulled this out on the OTNL podcast. Oh my God, I haven't put my flashy thing on in the background, as usual. Oh, it's not, it's not connected. I've got, I've got, I've got this, I'll put it on in a sec. But I've got this bag, which I really love. I also had this, this jellyfish light as well. But I just haven't, I haven't put the batteries in in a while. And I need to get on that because it is like, if I'm like working and I'm just like, I need to have a little bit of a break, I can just sort of stare at the jellyfish, listen to my music. I think that that's really important. I know the focus is autism, but with ADHD and because they are, you know, co-occurring so frequently, adding in that, that hit of dopamine with the cool lights or the music to stim too.  You know, the body doubling, there's so many tools. And when you look at it like tools, it helps us to to cope and and be the person that we want to be like nobody wants to be dysregulated. So if you're looking at sensory input like that, it makes sense. Yeah, I think from, from the kind of the autistic adult side, I think, you know, a lot of those things could definitely be transferable.  It's like, I recently did a post on oral motor needs. And a lot of people didn't even know what they were and that they had them. And a lot of people like bite their lips and like, you know, grind the tea for, you know, snack a lot. That was a big one for me. I just wasn't getting that that oral motor stimulation.  Yeah, we have a collection of chewy chew necklaces. Yeah, yeah. Or you can be like carrots and schools from it from what I've heard. They're not the most like, they're not the most accommodating for that.  So many times. Yeah, and trying to teach her how to advocate for why she needs it that she's no, she's not teething. And no, she's not a baby. This is not a baby teething necklace. Like it helps her with sensory input and combat anxiety. There's the advocating is relentless. But that's what it's so important to teach our kids to advocate for themselves.

It really, really does help me with the algorithm. All of my links to my socials like my daily Instagram blog posts are down in the description. But other than that, I hope you enjoy the rest of this clip. Because you're not always around them, especially if they go to school. Yep.  It is hard. That's, you know, in terms of like sensory support for adults, I'd say, you know, common things to use would be sunglasses, or like what you're saying about those FD, FD 41, yeah, FL 41, nearly got it. The things like those can be helpful.  Yeah, to help more with with calming me than ice cream. But I find those quite helpful. There's also things like headphones, earbuds, ear defenders, the D-Bud, earplugs. I use lips. They're probably similar. Yeah. And also things, sensory toys, you know, it could be things like acupressure rings, which I really like that you can just put on your finger. You can keep it in your pocket. They're just things that you can just roll up and down your finger. And it's quite sort of proprioceptive in that sense. There's also compression clothes, which I actually utilized a lot when I was a teenager. Like, you know, you get those compression clothes like sports and stuff. I find that a lot of my anxiety comes in through my legs. Like it's the first place that that really starts to become an issue when it when I get anxious or overloaded. So I used to wear compression bottoms like under my school clothes. That really helped. For a lot of people, I think sometimes, sometimes people like tight clothing, sometimes people like loose clothing. I'm definitely on the I like the tight clothing side of things. But I mean, it could be just some something simple like opting for wearing some stylish joggers, some trainers that kind of look a bit bit more formal. Even, you know, soft, softer hoodies, hats, you know, there could be a lot of things that you could you could use sort of on a daily basis. How some of these are one of my staples. Even at home, you know, utilize any flaws that you have to lay on them if you're feeling stressed. Yeah, that's what I do. It's like I come home from a speaking event or a hard day and I'll just lay on the living room floor and chat to my mum about like my day and stuff. And that really helps doing like stretches and things like that stretching. A lot of people find weighted blankets or weighted toys, plushies quite helpful for them. It's not something that I like. I feel a bit restricted. I like to move around a lot. But I've heard that it can be quite helpful for some people. There's this company called Fidget Gem. No, Fidget Gem. I'm combining company names. Fidget Bum. I don't know if there's still going on, but I used to chat to their sort of company founder and they do these. It's kind of like a sock formatress. And it provides the pressure through like the tension of the elastic material rather than the weight of the blanket. And you can sort of move around in it and you can like adjust the tightness of it and stuff. And that has been really helpful for me. I still don't know if they do stuff like that, but it might be worth having a look at that kind of thing. I think the issue was with it is that the actual product, it worked really well, but the problem was it kind of looks a bit restrictive. And they didn't know whether it would kind of get past health checks and stuff because, you know, it is like basically you kind of binding yourself to the bed a little bit. Yeah. But I think that could be problematic. Yeah, exactly. But I see the intention. My husband definitely, he likes the sheets to be super tight and kind of like a body sock that is used for that proprioceptive input. I can see like Russian children get where they get like swaddled after they get. Yeah. Yeah. I like swaddling for babies. Like that's a common practice. And from the sensory perspective, like now we can see why do babies love to be swaddled. It's not just the feeling of being in the womb. It's that deep pressure. And that need doesn't just vanish because they turn into a toddler. I mean, I quite like to go through perhaps some of the things that I use. I mean, just just for examples, just things that I have about fidget cubes, different things that you can push and click and fiddle with if you if you're feeling like you need to some for your hands. There's the typical fidget spinners. Of course, I've gone for a very gothic style school fidget spinner. I got from Thailand.  So I have this sort of this foot massager that I have under my desk that I can put my foot on in it. It just vibrates and it's got like these rolly things that you can sort of use. Just having that under my desk. Yeah, sure. It kind of resonates throughout the house a little bit, but if it helps you complete the task, yeah, that's good. Or simply having a blanket that I can just kind of put over myself and just, you know, just stuff like that, little things like that. It kind of adds up. It does. And especially if you you struggle like focusing and stuff, just having different things that you can do to kind of modify your central environment on a daily is quite, it's quite useful. Yeah. And then lastly, there's noise cancelling headphones, of course, and music. Yeah. That's a big one. I think it's important just to note that but if you are assessing somebody else's sensory needs, like as a parent, that it's not going to be the exact same every day and just recognizing that maybe yesterday they needed to spin, but today they need to run.
