What's up guys? Happy Mondays. Crazy week today. We had a big drop in the market this morning, but we're seeing some recovery now. So we're actually positive for the day. S&P 500 is up 0.28% compared to Friday or so it says. I don't know, is that true? Yeah, that's true. It is. It's also back to the pre-market highs almost. R&B Niko, how you doing? That was up 2.9%. The NASDAQ being one of the biggest gainers today up 6.63%. But it's also been one of the biggest, you know, anyone in pain. So it's a drop the most. So let's look at the market bubbles. Wow, things are over the place. GPS went up a lot. The gap went up 7.9%. Probably moving up with the reason that Coz got bought out. Boys locker room. Boys locker room. What's up? Crazy day indeed. Market was all over the place. So we have gaps of 8% today. I don't know why Coz isn't here, man. Coz must be up so much that it's like it can't fit in this chart. Coz got to buy that buyout. I think it's...let me see where it went. It's $63. Buyout price is $64. So never seen such confidence. T-mobiles up 5% for the day. Home people is also up a lot. Went from $350 to $363. Bath and Body Works. Bath and Body Works is another retailer that they think is the same sector as Coz. So they're getting that move. Ultra Beauty, Caesars. Best Buy. Is this the bottom? Microsoft. Wow. A lot of strong moves today. What's up, PB? How you doing? Yo, what's up, Mass Appeal? What is going on? Everybody is shook. That's what's going on. MassAcella. Hey, what's up, Annie? Welcome to the Discord. It's gonna be a little tricky, so make sure you watch some of the videos on YouTube and how to use Discord and stuff. Wow. So it looks like a lot of things are almost finding bottom. We're seeing a lot of reversals across the board from Facebook, Amazon. A lot of things finding the bottom. From Google, even Walt Disney's, Apple, Microsoft. Strong bounce off the bottom end. Look at that bounce. 280 to 296, right? Even Tesla. 850 to 930s. Holy smokes. Unreal. Activision is the only one trying to actively scam us. Closing under 30s. Just to hunt all the stop-loss.  Not falling for it. Even Netflix had a bounce on 350 to 3D7. Wow. Everything had a really strong bounce today. This is like the kind of bounce where we were conditioned to when we think about the buy the dip. So that's the market. Let's check out the... check out the earnings report today. I've never seen anything like today. Wow. I know, right? Kip is crazy. Good afternoon. Mandela asks, do you think this ES pump is a bull trap? That's a great question. So I posted some scenarios. We'll run through the scenario real quick. Man, look at that. My alerts are going off. Everything is a buy the dip. Q-T-E-L. They make COVID tests. Really discount if we get here. Let's see. Let me see. Why did I write that? How big of a discount is this? Oh. I wrote that if we get here to 2020 level, this is a real discount. But I don't think it hit here though. They only hit this level. Wait, why? Why that alert came off? The $82 the real discount. $100 is still like pretty good though. I mean, it's still pretty good discount, I guess. Still pretty good discount. Because they're going to make little money from COVID tests. I guarantee that. This next earnings is going to blow off the waters. But let's go to the scenarios. So I guess they're near number one over here. 2018 drop, right? We got the same where we dropped 20% move from the top of the spy here. We had a little double bottom move, kind of like we're having right now. Like a little double bottom move to kind of trap the bulls because it had to drop. Double bottom looks super bullish. And then we thought we're going up, didn't go up. Instead we just went down further. So had a nice little 20% correction. No relief rally just kept dropping. And then we started moving back up. So it feels almost like that now a little bit.  We're starting to fall off here. We're getting a little bit relief rally, but I don't think we have gone to the point of relief rally yet because we didn't drop 20%. We're only at 10% today. So right now we're at the 10% drop. I think that's around 20% will be around 380. 10% is around 425. I know this because I did the math on this a while ago on the 10% drop. And I had a short to that 10% drop. So where is that short? Right here. So on January 6th, I had thought that we would possibly get a 10% correction by March at some point or another. Obviously nobody could have perceived it coming so fast, you know, before March, but I thought, you know, probably get one sometime before March, you know, getting that 10% correction that would target the 425 area. So that's kind of where we had today. We had 420. We were on the 425, 420. We pulled the inverse head and shoulder and then set up the bullish move to the upside. So that's one scenario. If we just rally back hard, maybe on 10% corrections instead of the 20%. The other was that this is just how we leave rally, kind of like over here. We had the COVID drop. COVID drop from 337 to 285. 285. That's about 15% drop. Yo, actually we do kind of have 15% rate. What do we have? 408. Nah, we're not at 15%. So during the COVID drop, we had a big drop, 15% drop, had a relief rally back and then trapped everybody and it just died so hard the next whole week to down level here. So this is a possibility. History doesn't always repeat itself though, but just some food for thought. Let's go over some earnings. IBM. The way the market closed was more bullish. We'll see if we can sustain this. Yeah, the way the market closed was actually very bullish. IBM run. What's up, Delboy? Everyone, Delboy 7000, when you have a moment, all these 700 puts, thanks to price to where it belongs, but not sure of course. When is that put? How long do you have that put for? Let's look at the earnings real quick. We'll take a look at spy analysis. We'll take a look at spy analysis in a little bit and then we'll take a look at Tesla and some Bitcoin as well. I got you guys. Let's check out this earnings that we're waiting for. IBM. Earnings per share is 3,035 cents. Beat estimate of 314. Sales is 16.7 billion. Beat estimate of 1,606 billion. Since this is a 61% increase compared to the same period last year. Right, so last year over here. Last year was trading 113. And sales is actually 18% decrease compared to last year at 20 billion and 20.37 billion. So last year was trading. Last year in February was trading 112. So margins is good, but sales is bad. Year ended 2020, 2021. They made a little bit more money than last year. Barely much. Barely much from last year. 5.7 to 5.59. This is something to really write home about honestly, but they're up 7% probably due to the whole market rally because it didn't rally as much today because people were shook. See what else we got today? I par. I think people are expecting J-PAL to bail the market on Wednesday. Yeah, that's true. So this week is going to be the first day, first time they meet in regards to the monetary policy. And that's going to be interesting. So depending on what they say, but they already wrote out the narrative. They already said what they were going to do. But I guess market is pricing in for a possibility that they will turn around, do a complete U-turn from what they said. But I don't know. They already said what they wanted to do, which was raise interest rates. They may clarify whether they're going to do 3 or 4, but I think they already pretty much said what they wanted to do. Feeling my bones. The trap. Is BTC a bull trap or what? It could be. We could bull trap to that $37,000. I wouldn't be bullish on Bitcoin until we get over $37,000. Did we do that yet? So we're back. It's natural. It's natural for us to back test the trend line, right? This 3730A area. But if we can't break that trend line, then it would just go like this. So that was a strong resistance there. Bella says all my puts are down. Sorry to hear that. Did you take any profit at all? Yo, were those the puts that you picked up from Friday? I mean, the cause? The Spy 470 cause. I remember you said you picked something up on Friday. And then we saw Bitcoin crash and we're like, oh no, you're doomed. Hope you had a chance to close them. What's up, Spindle? How you doing? What's up, CG2K? How are you? Crypto having huge bounce on the same day. Actually, crypto had the bounce before... Crypto was bouncing before the market bounce, right? Or no? Let me see. Where's the crypto bounce? Oh, actually... Yeah, crypto bounced before the market bounce.  This could carry the market. So, market started bouncing around market found bottom at 1240, right? But look when crypto found bottom. Crypto found bottom this morning finally confirmed the reversal around 1040. It's like, if we were playing a game of high and seek and we want to give each other signals and stuff, I would be like, yo, Kip, crypto bounce. That would be like the signal. I would just run crypto up. Spindle, did you short the VIX? As well? Huge... Damn, I could barely cover... Patch up to the comments, man. Nice, Spindle. How much Bitcoin did you get? Yo, there's no way... I mean, there's no way they're going to do 7th rate increase in a year, though. That is crazy, man.  Relax. I could see us... Now, the worst case, though, I could see him do 4 rate increases, but I can't see him doing 7. The worst, worst case would be if Powell well does a 0.5 basis point, like 50 basis point increase. Damn, sorry to hear that, Bella. Gotta take some profit. Oh my God. That's how much it puts us today this morning. Very nice. I mean, historically, DraftKing was pretty bullish on Super Bowl, but man, they dropped so much. I don't even know anymore. It's hard to say. We can check the charts. Wanna buy the dip? You could buy the dip, but when you buy the dip, try to buy the dip on safe stocks on things that are reasonable, right? But... Also, don't buy the dip too much. Just take small positions, look, if we do get a strong bounce out of this, like we're getting now, when you buy the dip, it's gonna move a lot, but if you buy the dip too much, right, and then we don't bounce as well, you're gonna be in a lot of pain. Good question. Let's take a look. Oh shoot. Very little. I used to have this site that would predict the rate increase. I forgot what site I used to use, because I haven't looked at it in such a while. Was it this? Maybe it was this. Maybe it was trading economics. So... So, 2016, we were sitting pretty low, like we are now, because the market had crashed for so long, and from 2009, it took forever to recover, right? So, if you look at the stock market from 2009 to 2015, it had just barely... Look, let me show you here. So, the reason they took so long to raise the interest rate, last time was because when we had the crash from 2007 to 2009, it was a major crash that took a while to happen, and then when it did crash, just for us to come back to this top levels, right? For us to come back to this top, it took till 2013. So, it took till 2013. Market was still like, wasn't too crazy. The market didn't really get frothy. But then, finally, in like, 15, 16, it started getting frothy, right? And that's when they were like, you know what, let's raise the interest rate. So, we had some uncertainty there. So, they started jumping the interest rate in 2016. So, they started jumping the interest rate in 2016. So, they jumped the interest rate in 2016. They jumped the half from from 0.25 to 0.5. And then, you know, 17, they jumped it up a little bit more. They jumped it 1, 2, 3, 4 times by the end of the year. So, they jumped it 4 times. That was a pretty big jump to and then by 2018 to 2019, they jumped it a little bit more to 2.25. And then, as we were starting to feel the effect of the trade war as well, they started to move it back down a little bit and then COVID happened and the bozos just dropped it from almost 2 points to 0. So, this was the 18, right? 2018 to 2019. So, that was like at the end of the drop, we had a big move. Since 2018, we started increasing from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. And then, from the beginning of the year, we had dropped a little bit right there. And then, at the end of the year, we ended up raising so much interest rate. People actually saw the the impact of it and we dropped some more. How much did we drop at the beginning? So, 280 to the low of 253. 10% actually, 10% drop. So, you know what? That's a great question, mass appeal. So, if it was anything like this, right? We had that major drop, huge rally back. Drop again to test 100. Moving average. Rally back up again, just a lot of chop. And then, drop to that super bottom again. Trying to set the double bottom. Another rally back to the 100 moving average. Another double bottom setup over here as well. I'm testing the 100 moving average one more time. So, I guess this is where it's shaking a lot of people out because historically, people are looking for them 50 to 100 to hoe. And once it doesn't hoe, it's kind of put in various territory. Drops like these. Signals across over. So, it could look like a death cross. But they would stop it just right before the death cross. So, based on this whole thing here, I think this is actually even though we ran those two other scenarios, I think this is most likely what's going to happen. We're probably going to get something like this now that we're looking at it again. So, we got to expect a lot of chop this year, man. Expect a lot of chop. And and just, you know, instead of like, if you have $100,000 account, don't play more than 25 or 50,000 at this point. Just be very careful. But, you know, I wouldn't want to short the bottom too as well. Should we ape into cause? Well, so I posted the market outlook. I think there are some stuff aping into cause, right? But then there are also some stuff that I'm just extremely scared of. So, Sean, you're actually the one that gave me that sheet where, you know, we looked at a lot of stocks that was extremely, extremely overvalued. And we looked at a lot of stocks that was like, you know, or the sheet carry a lot of stuff that has high PE had like, you know, 300% move from 2020 or 2021 and whatnot. So, those big movers I probably wouldn't want to touch, you know, but then things like financials like JP Morgan I'll tell you why I'm bullish on financials. So, when I look at things like JP Morgan, you know, this is a, it's a bank, it's a strong company, right? We just touched the 140 level today, right? We touched the damn 140 level today. And the reason that's so important is because look the 140 is how much JP Morgan was worth before COVID happened, right? And if you look at their financial, you look at their books we'll pull up JPM here. We're not even like doing the hard dig, we're just doing the easy quick dig, right? We're not even like looking too deep into it, but the thing that sets JP Morgan aside from all these other companies is that they're involving a lot of IPOs just like Goldman Sachs, they're involving a lot of these faulty things that the market does, you know, and they make money off that. So, when COVID happened, you know, they had a bad quarter, they had a bad quarter in March, right? And they had a, you know, a minute quarter in June, but god damn, look how fast that we cover those quarters, right? So, you're looking at numbers of previous years versus like, you know, the quarters of 2020s and stuff and see how fast they recover. And then you can see on the bigger picture, right? They were making $34 billion as opposed to the year before 2019, they went down a little bit in 2020 and May 27, right? But collectively between 2020 and 2021, they they probably, you know, plus 46503, divided by 2, right? So, collectively in these two years, they have made more than, you know, in terms of the medium compared to 2019, right? On a two-year basis, they're still doing pretty good. So, because of that, I think they're actually one of the few stocks that I would consider to a certain extent, pretty reasonable value. Does that make sense? Yeah, gotta trust those goodies, man. That plus, right? Yeah, we do need clarification from Powell, for sure. For sure.  Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. You didn't just say that, man. You didn't just say that. Spindle says, I feel like they need to induce a recession to deal with inflation. I told this to my friend and she was like, this is not the 1970, goddammit.  You don't want us to go into recession. If they forcibly jack the interest rate that much, if they forcibly jack the interest rate to 3% or 8%, I think they did this too. There was one point back in the days where they had jacked the interest rate so much, holy smoke. This is what Spindle was talking about. In case you guys are not familiar, this is what I'm saying. Oh my god. This is what she's talking about. Back in the days in the 1970 and 1980s, the interest rate was 5%. 5%. They jacked it too.  I mean, I'm not necessarily crazy, but he has his own beliefs and things like that. He jacked the interest rate up to 20% at one point. Holy smokes. He jacked the interest rate so bad that people started to suffer, man. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I know this because I was looking into the interest rate situation and everything last year and I remember reading that crazy the crazy stories of that time frame. So that's what Spindle was, man. Oh, smokes. Thank you, Spindle. Oh, man. Crazy. So nutty, bro. So nutty. Alpatrong. That's it. Sign up xTray on batcoin. What does this do? It's a whole other language, bro. But thank you. I have no clue what I'm reading, but thank you very much. I appreciate it. Oh, man. Bank dividends. Yes, sir. I mean, that's what everybody in the market is saying now. Believe it or not, three months ago, we actually heard that, you know, I don't know about you guys, but when I was reading the news and things like that, I have heard that from Morgan Stanley that they expect to see contractions, right? In 2022, they didn't expect Spindle to go up so much, but market was like, oh, you baloney and they just kept going up, you know, but this was like one to two months later. So they already released those news and stuff fundamentally one to two months ago and market didn't listen. They kept running. So now we're getting the contraction and everybody's getting hurt. So I don't see why not, you know, I think I think as we're coming back to the fundamental sense, like we already see a lot of tech stuff drop 50% to 100% you know, from like their prices from last year. So I think it's a good idea to look for a good fundamental place that makes sense. No, but I like Spindle sometimes. I was just messing around. She did raise a good point. Like inflation is really so crazy. You know, I think she's just joking like inflation is really so crazy that that they have to figure a way to smack it down, man. I guess my parents paid that, but they made it.  You know, but like as of right now when things aren't good, like we're already you know, like technically I'm going to be crazy to say this, like you guys won't believe me because it won't make sense, but technically I'm pretty confident we are already in the recession.  Like I don't know how many people are actively doing that. I mean like there are people doing the Instagram, but I don't think there's a massive amount of people actively doing that. Yeah, inflation is good, but not hyperinflation as well.  So I mean I guess maybe that's good so people like wouldn't be too crazy in trying to buy houses. We definitely do need a balance though. I agree that we do need a balance Lamborghini fully electric now. Does it still make a loud noise? Starbucks will be closing if we get a very recession.  A lot of the consumer discretionary sector will just get blown off like what is in the consumer discretionary? Amazon So vacations, things like that because the service is considered to be non-essential. So if we go into a recession you know what I was actually just joking with my friend the other day. You might appreciate this guys. I was just joking with my friend the other day when we were at the market, right? And you know those noodles man? Apparently Alex said he loves this. You know the Nissan cup noodles? Dude, they're still so damn cheap man. You know I was at the market and wholesale price for this, right? Is not $11.19. It's Markup from Instacarp. But I think it was $8.99, right? It was $8.99 for the wholesale price of this. The shrimp cup noodles or whatever the Nissan cup noodles, right? And how much you get with that? Yeah $8.98, $8.98. This is the price. This is the price. So you get 30 counts for $8.98 that's still 30 cents each. That means you can still have a meal for 30 cents each. So I was just looking at this and I was like yo, these guys do they not know inflation bro? Like what are they doing selling these for 30 cents each still? They should already be selling this at 50 cents a piece. Like if it's 30 counts they should have been selling this at $15 a piece. I don't know about you guys but if I was this company, if I was Nissan cup noodles and if I work for them on their team in accounting or whatever or they're Japanese, they're really from Japan you know if I was there, I'd be like yo boys raise it up, raise it up. They're gonna be like but but that would be a dramatic price increase. Can we really do that? I'd be like yeah we can do that you know. They would make so much money the stock would go to the moon. Oh my gosh man can you imagine that guys? The stock would freaking fly. At what point do they stop? Because they have to stop. You can't keep printing money and putting the market forever because we have out of control inflation. That's a fact yeah. I mean like I was extremely pissed last year that they kept throwing out stimulus checks. I wanted them to chillax with it. They just kept throwing stimulus checks all the place. Yeah it is really bad. We have no work force. Everybody want to work. Everybody want to work remote and companies aren't changing like that. So everyone waiting for piles to say we might ease back the interest rate increase to delay them. You better make money hand over fist in the market because you're gonna need it. He's going to do like seven hikes for this year. Probably roll seven. Maybe yeah. Well I thought they said he was gonna do three this year next year. I mean look man if these students didn't know how to live frugally they should learn now because I think they got, I think people especially students right now and young the young generation right now I'm not throwing share anything. I just don't think that that people really understand what is like to really live as a student anymore because you know like I don't know man like back in the days when I was um oh sickness. Thank you for subbing man. I appreciate you and supporting our channel.  You literally have to like you know you literally had to bust your ass to preserve the cash that you had you know to pay for your tuition you had to work the jobs and things like that like sometimes multiple jobs like I used to go to weekends I used to go to weekend classes because you know that was the only time I could make it to class because I was working on the weekdays but it's tough it's tough man not everybody can achieve that and I think we gotta get back to that basics man for people to understand that economy is good save money so you have those tools easy recession but you do when the company is good but if you do that when the economy is good it's a political suicide yeah that is true like naturally the dairy is we should raise interest rate when the economy is doing really good but people don't realize that though now we're doing it opposite fashions oh yeah that's true that's true I agree with that kid because I mean I mean like look let's say let's say we do math on starbucks right let's say you say $5 a day you get starbucks like what 4 times a week right that's $5 oh no that's that's $5 times 5 that's actually 25 right so 25 times like 52 weeks actually no we're even gonna be generous because you're not gonna buy every week you're gonna buy it like you know some weeks so that'd be like $1250 that you could potentially save $1250 you know man that look like a lot but if you really crunch the numbers these numbers like these add up and you can put them in the right place and it could make sense but that's if you like you know that's when they used to teach us how to do financials and sit there and crunch numbers but I don't think people really do that anymore like that you my friend has more faith in central government planning it's hard to say man we'll find out only time will tell honestly yeah IBM did had a pretty good beat let's take a look so this is IBM's earnings they had a top and bottom beat 61% increase compared to last year in EPS but 18% decrease in sales compared to last year they said they see 2022 revenue grow free cash flow in line with midterm models sees 2022 free cash flow of 10 to to 10.5 billion accordingly so it's going to be a lot that would be very interesting if they can have that much cash flow coming in that means they would have to make a lot of money what else also reported today perfume company also reported 210 mil as opposed to 184 year over year 14% increase compared to last year take a look at that last year company was trading at $60 right now is at $92 pricing up pretty high what else we have reported today home street home street is a commercial bank it provides commercial and consumer loan including mortgages how was it doing last year $35 earnings per share is $1.43 14% increase compared to the same period last year so a lot of recovery from last year as well I think that's pretty much all the big earnings for today no dynamics no real move after hours a little miss over there but still strong increase from last year at $470 stock was trading at $37 100% increase in sales compared to last year still has been in crazy demand so stock price reflected accordingly almost yeah a lot of things doesn't make sense I mean even in New York over here like it's hard to say man even the political parties they can't sell out a hand they don't know anymore they're just all over the place now man they're just too radical on either size like the whole point of them being able to the whole point of having two different parties is that so we can come to the middle agreement and come to things that make sense right but like now they have understand the practice and they just go so far out that the middle is no longer the middle that's what's so crazy yes sir let's take a look at the market that's a good question because I did promise that earlier we would take a look at the market so let's take a look at the short term take a look at the short term market we have a 10 minute chart so in the 10 minute chart we saw a very bullish move right so we got an inverse head and shoulder which is typically a very bullish pattern we got a strong move back to the top of the setup which is right here so this is literally the top of the move right here we got a huge move to the top here at the same time you know what that means we're at the make or break line okay so since volatility is so crazy now we're actually starting to look at the 10 minute chart and the 48 minute chart instead of looking at the half day and one day charts because it's hard to read that far ahead at this point so we're at the make or break here which means if we break above here we'll climb up to the next level what's our next level our next level is right here right so if we break above that we will climb to the next level so next level is right here alright so we're looking at spy so we're at the make or break area right now 440s if we break it up if we break above it tomorrow we have potentially climb up to 456 455 range but if we don't climb from here if we don't climb from here this is what could happen as well we could have something like this where we're getting a rejection off the MOB line and possibly coming back down a little bit more you know and just having another sell off so one thing that did kind of worry me today was if we look at spy I don't know if they posted here but I have the buy and sell from TOS in terms of the MOB I mean MOC the market on close and balance so at 351 market on close and balance was 2.4 billion dollars to the buy side right very bullish signal that means a lot of significant buying into the market today but as we got to 3 minutes before close so this is 351 right 3 minutes before close that 2.4 billion in balance to the buy side guess what happened um it became only it went from 2.4 billion to the buy side to suddenly 2 million to the sell side which means for the whole day we had a huge buy right we had a huge buy in balance we had more significantly significant buying than selling today right but at the end of the day we had the same amount of buying as we had selling in a way because it went to the negative side so big wowzers there started hehehehe yeah that's true most people do really fall in the middle honestly like I would say like anyone that really out there like thinking for themselves they're probably in the middle but there's nobody that represents us in the middle it's kind of annoying what's up Ravi CEO line spy um this is this is our MOB line so it's part of the swing outgo that we have here uh that Xavier want X hubs our side is also very high too so that's on the 10 minute chart right we can make a break there we can either come up here or come up here so it's gonna be a very very good area you could potentially run strangles from here um if you run the strangle you will take longs from 440 to 455 right um looking for a revision back to the upside here and then if you and then you will have another short side looking for a move down um the way the strangle would pay off would really be if you know if you're really making a Y size move but I think you'll pay off even more because if this ends up being a trap right that what does that mean that means the the short side is going to go even further than 420 is going to go from 440 to 420 to watch out below you know um so this is going to be a good opportunity there for that bitcoin let's check out bitcoin so so the quarter day chart um is looking looking a little bit bullish as well strong move very strong recovery as well almost like a v-shaped recovery so kind of like over here but you know naturally we sold off so much we have to have some of a v-shaped recovery the question is can we really revision back to 450 even I think tomorrow morning we're actually going to see the move I think this is going to I think if we don't reject here I think I'm pretty confident we might reject here because if we don't have that rejection then we're actually going to move to the bullish side but if we do have the rejection then the bearish trend will stay intact because if we do move above that that line that we're looking at the 440s if we move about 440s we're going to see crossover over here on the money flow side um this is already crossover so if we move about that we're going to have a crossover we're going to confirm the reversal on the daily which means if we confirm the reversal the daily we could potentially come back to 460s even so that make or break is going to be big tomorrow watch out for that big make or break tomorrow this is going to decide so it's definitely out of area interest area to play both sides you can play either sides if you hit it if we hit it just just be mindful of the price targets play both sides we're either going to hit 420 or we're either going to hit 455s let's take a look at bitcoin so our patron jr. says day candle at btc is bullish hammer by entrusting it greek hip it's a farce so it's in canada what's the situation in canada hey what's up man we did check ibm it was um had a good beat we got him damn kip you're like perma bear right now kip is perma bear now did it really oh we don't even have it here oh yeah pick prices are going up get your porcs boys get your porcs you know that's the thing with j pow we can never actually expect him to do the right thing like we've been wanting him to do the smart thing this whole time so that's actually a smart decision if they were to you know to follow the other economies but i don't think j pow is smart enough to follow the smart decision because they also didn't try to also raise interest rates too as well before we did so if j pow were to follow them he would actually be making a smart decision at some point and he's just too ape for that man wishful thinking oh look bitcoin just got rejected oh no that was on 10 minute we haven't gotten the manger rejection yet up here that's where we're looking for but anyways i'm gonna end it here guys we'll be back here tomorrow at 4pm to check out the other earnings um like microsoft martin um 3m and then i think we might try to lotto some place for microsoft we'll try to lotto some place for for for maybe tesla um and then we'll try to lotto some stuff for apple this week as well in the challenge account but we really gotta sit there and figure out a place for that man because things are so crazy right now um sometimes if things are too crazy it's too hard to read you know you it's gonna be tricky to find the market direction but that's it guys thanks for stopping by and having a good night i think we might have another event going on today as well this court not sure but make sure to stop by and check that out um thank you guys take care


What I am going to do now is just zip through matplotlib, really literally going to zip through it in part because much of this matplotlib is really very easy to use. So we have done basic Python so far, now you can do arrays and array manipulations of various kinds. So the thing that remains is how do you actually plot these things. Matplotlib is basically a very easy to use scriptable matlab-like 2D plotting toolkit. Primarily written by a person called John Hunter and he was the first to build it and then they have a pretty large developer community right now. Primarily because it has been so successful in capturing the plotting market in Python. If you look at Python plotting, I think every self-respecting Python developer has his own plotting routines. I have just seen so many plotting routines, I have my own plotting routines. There is Grace plot, there is GNU plot and there is PL plot, there are whole bunch of plotting routines. And basically what John did was he gave it a matlab-like interface which really made it extremely easy to use and he supported NumPy arrays, numeric arrays from the get go. And it produced publication quality pictures and it is so easy to use. Basically if you want to plot something it is just a line, it is just a line of code pretty much, most often. Therefore it just made it so popular and he supported whole bunch of different back end. So it runs on its cross-platform, so it runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, you name it. It supports various GUI toolkit back ends. As you may know there are various GUIs, you can use GTK, you could use QT, you could use WX Python, you could use Windows native things. You may not want a UI at all, you may just want to generate PDFs or PNGs and he supported all of that. So basically it produces publication quality pictures, figures and has interactive capabilities. It makes plots, histograms, power spectra, bar charts, error charts, scatter plots and I will show you examples of these. It also does polar plots, contours, vector plots. So basically the entire 2D plotting market he has taken care of and that really makes it very popular. That is today in my opinion it is the most popular Python based plotting toolkit. It also does something very neat which is supporting tech markup. So often mathematical figures you want to show an integral or you want to show some mathematical symbol and latex happens to be one of the most popular ways of type setting mathematics and lots of people are aware of how to use it. So you can actually embed a latex string and it will actually render it and show you a nice mathematical formula on your figure. It supports a whole bunch of different image types, cross platform as I said and the other thing that has been done is it is integrated very well with IPython. So Fernando Perez was the creator of IPython and John sat together and made sure that it really works well. There is a plenty amount of information on matplotlib. These pages are particularly useful in fact the screenshots page is what I am going to use to show you various examples. Basically they have examples, they generate some data and then they have plots and on the web page you can actually see the pictures. So basic plotting with matplotlib, the way you start is you say I am doing IP demo because just a script so I get the colors right, you say IPython minus pi lab. So substitute IPython with IP, it might be demo with IPython. So it takes a little bit of time to start up but once you start up you have a bunch of symbols that are automatically imported. As I said before IPython supports profiles, pi lab is a special profile which does two things. It sets up a separate thread of execution for the UI interaction and it gives you a live interpreter on which you can work. And on that interpreter various names from pi lab and I think noom pi get imported. Actually not a noom pi. Various names from pi lab get imported. So you do not have to import things off the back. So for example I can say x is length space 2 star pi, let us say 1000 points and I want to plot this. I am going to change that to minus 2 pi. Now I want to plot this and let us say I want to do sine of x. So sine is also built in the sense that when you start up in pi lab mode you get these symbols for free. But when you are writing a script, a proper script you will not have these. So a good idea there is to say import pi lab and then prepend everything with pi lab dot.  I click on this, I can actually zoom with my mouse, zoom into any point. As I hover my mouse it shows me over here where my position is which is extremely handy. You can overlay different pictures on this and that is your sync function. So it is as simple as that, create an array, yes, you ssa, okay so the question is how does it run if you use a, if you run it from a remote terminal, okay that is a little complicated because it depends on how you connect to the other server. If you are running on an x server, if you are running on a Windows box, God help you. If you are running on a Unix machine with an x server running here, your ssh minus x and your ssh is set up okay such that you are able to listen for, you do x11 forwarding then it would work, it should work in theory. But you need to start your Python session with a threaded mode, that is pretty much it. If you want to just generate remote images without starting up a UI, that is not a problem at all, that should just work. Question was, is GNU plot using matplotlib, no, GNU plot is the, it has been around for way before, there is, as I said there are millions of plotting libraries, GNU plot is supported, there is also GNU plot, in fact earlier before matplotlib came on the scene, I used to use something called grace, sgr and there is a Python interface for that. That is very nice, it is not a bad toolkit at all. There is GNU plot, I have never used GNU plot from Python, but I know people, Fernando Perez has a special mode with IPython, something called doop.py, where you can use GNU plot from Python with a more Python interface. So there is a lot of plotting toolkits. But today matplotlib is the most popular, easiest to install, it is available and it has a huge feature set. Matplotlib is a very Python centric library, you cannot use it from say C or something like that. No, matplotlib is basically built to work with Python. All matplotlib plots are basically Python files. So basically from Python, if you want to plot, I would recommend that you use matplotlib. You could use anything else, no problems, it is the most, it is the most feature packed, the most active, the largest developer community. You want to go with tools that have that. But yes, there is GNU plot, there is xmgrace, there are whole bunch of different things you can use. Oh okay, matplotlib itself uses, again it depends on the back end. So the actual 2D drawing, okay. See the thing is when you are plotting, ultimately what are you doing? You are just drawing dots or you are using, if you are rendering into post script, you are writing in post script. So you have an API, like PyLab, when you say plot, plot has, is going to do something depending on the state of the matplotlib library. So if you say I want to plot only post script, I am not interested in a window. It is going to, whenever you say plot is going to generate lines or whatever it does, those will be translated to primitives in that particular language. So if it is a screen rendering, it is going to generate lines with whatever color, pen color, all of that. Or if it is a PDF, it is going to just write PDF code and dump that into a file or a file like object or whatever it does. So that is the internals. So ultimately matplotlib is a library that is being used from Python. Is that clear? It is a module, matplotlib is a module. So the point is you can plot simple things and complex things. So the first thing which you just looked at here is plot x sin of x and that produces a plot. Now it by default, oops, it produced this. So one function that you can remember is CLF which is clear figure, this is a figure and it clears the figure. Now if I wanted to plot sin of x with symbols, I wanted a red line with circular symbols and a line, I just type it this way and I get that. So the idea is you can actually create complicated looking plots by composing several of these small things and specify your x value, y value and a specification for what you want to plot and how you want to plot it. So there is a whole bunch of colors by default, a whole bunch of symbols, maybe 12, 13 different symbols and line specifications. So if you just do plot question mark on an IPython session, recommend that, it is huge, I am not going to sit and talk about those, you will find that it is straight forward and it is sufficiently interactive that you just figure it out, it is not a problem. You can set the axis, x axis, y axis dimensions using the axis command. You can set labels which I will do right now. So x label, say x, you have x there. The nice thing is if I want to say y and I want to put latex, I can say dollar, dollar is the symbol for mathematics in latex and you make it a raw string because you are going to put slash things. So I can say slash alpha, I am going to be, this is not right but I am going to just say it is sine of alpha, oh I said x label and I did not close the bracket. You notice here, I do not know if you can see it, it is actually plotted an alpha symbol. So that is one of the nice things about this.  You can set a title and you can specify a font size if you want. You can change the color of labels and things like that. Again I would recommend that you look at x label and explore x label a little bit. Finally you can save a figure. So you can either do this, oh boy, there is a small save icon here, you click on that and then you can type out your file name or you can simply say save fig and say test.eng if you want, pdf if you want, it will figure out what you want and use the appropriate back end and I should have test.png there, so if I say open test.png, yeah, that is the png that it generated. So it is as simple as that. So you can make multiple plots in a figure as I showed, you can put sign and cause and something else, you can clear out a figure and then redraw it. There is a setting called hold which is not here which lets you turn on whether it is going to overlay plots or going to refresh the plot entirely. It is very similar to MATLAB, you can plot multiple plots in one single line like so in the last line you see here, plotting straight line, the x squared and x cubed with different symbols and then you can set the property of objects, you can say the line width. Every time you plot, if you notice it actually returned something, so when I plotted a line it said it returned a MATLAB clip lines.line2dr instance. So if I captured the return value that actually gives me the line instance and I can actually set properties of that line and the way to do that is to say set p, set p is another pi lab function which is in ipython, in ipython minus pi lab already exposed, if not you would have to say pi lab dot set p and you can set the properties, the same properties I set here I could set here and if you just say set p l it will list out all the properties. So again they have taken a lot of effort to make things as easy as you can possibly make it and as interactive and helpful as you can. You could also set the parameters directly by saying set underscore property, close will close the figure, you can open multiple figures it is not like you are stuck with one figure, every time you say figure it is going to open a new figure and you want to go back to one of the earlier figures, you say figure, so here I have created figure 1 plot sign x, figure 2 plot tan hyperbolic then I want to go back to figure 1 and set the title. So you just say figure 1 it will not create a new figure it will go to the existing figure number 1. You can also do things like subplots which means you can put multiple plots on the same particular plot. The way to do that is use the subplot, subplot is basically number of rows, number of columns followed by the current figure number that is what I suspect and you can always simplify it by saying 2 1 1 and it will interpret that as 2, 1, 1, they are just handy conveniences. You can also stick in, so let us say I am going to do this plot, close plot x sign of x and I want to label it saying sign and then I want to do cos you have these 2 and I want to show the legend it actually gives me, it takes the label that you provide with the plot but if you did not do labeling you could always say legend say, it is the same and it change that. So, you can change the legend set the legend you can also put text say say 50, 50 I do not know if that is going to work, okay, mistake, so I will make it 1, 1 at that particular location on the plot I want to say hello, oh boy it puts it right there because that is where 1, 1 is. So you can annotate your figures and remember you can still put those latex things in there, so you want to put an integral symbol saying something that you can do that.  This one basically it shows you what subplot does, in subplot you have 2 plots one on top one on the bottom and here all it is doing it is plotting an exponential times cosine and the cosine itself using different symbols it is turned on the grid saying grid true you could press G but typically you want to write a script that does everything for you in one shot. So this script is completely self contained it says the title it sets the y label the x plot and plots whatever is needed okay and subplot make sure that you have one plot on top of the other. You can also throw in error bars so if you have errors on the x and the y you can do both and do that and the way to do that is you say here is an error bar given the values on x, y and the specific errors on the x and the y you can do semi log and log log plots as well. Many of these examples are actually slightly modified from the matplotlib demos it is a zip file that is available on the matplotlib web page. So again here we have 3 plots so he says subplot 3 1 1 and then creates a semi log y a semi log x which means one of the axis is log the other is not semi log x or semi log y and a log log plot and he shows all of them on the same plot. Now you can also do histograms as I said and the way you do it again is so here all he does is he sets up the data the first line is the mean and the standard deviation and they have a function called rand n it is part of numpy I do not know if they have reimplemented or they just implode the numpy one which generates a set of random numbers which are distributed as per Gaussian and this one line basically shows them a no this actually generates a histogram given the scattered data and this one line just does the plotting of the histogram no no no I am sorry no his actually does the plotting right his does the plotting and returns 3 things it returns the number of number of bins bins and I do not know what patches it right now so you can just look at the docs of his I am sorry I have not used his stuff so his will tell you what the documentation of his is so I suggest you just try out these examples and again over here you notice there is again math symbols here which can be injected through a title note that when you are using latex you always need to ensure that it is a complete latex string you cannot put dollar in between you must say r quote dollar and if you want it in normal Roman font you have to use slash RM okay so if you do not know latex you may have to read up a little bit on latex elementary latex syntax you can do bar charts and here is an example for that running on short of time so I am going to run through these and again if you notice lots of the code here is just generating the data this is a complete example and the plotting itself is like one or two lines and setting attributes is another couple of lines this is a pie chart you can see and again it is a single line you just say pie the fractions the explode parameter here basically says how you are going to shift it here it is only shifted on the x axis sorry on the y axis if you notice the pie it is shifted up from here and that is the explode here then you can do scatter plots again it is a single line you say scatter x y so you have a bunch of points x values and the y values and the area of that of the symbol is given by an array which is here some particular thing which is like and you can also color it based on the volume so c equals volume in this case I have calculated some volume and given it a argument so if you gave it a specific color if you say c equals r it will all be red but if you give it an array it will look it up through a color map lookup table and if you say color bar at the end here it will actually show you the colors and which color is what value you can also do alpha blending which means you can give it an opacity so if you look here I can this red blob underneath that I can see the grid so it is not fully opaque so the opacity is a value between 0 and 1 and it is 0.75 here it does polar plots as well and again it is just polar theta r specify a color and a line width there are other parameters of course if you look at polar it will have a whole bunch of things you can specify I have just chosen these you can also do pretty complicated contouring with labeling and use different types of color maps to indicate your colors and this is slightly complicated example the I am show basically given an array will show you the array as a color contour not a contour color map image depending on what color map you use it will choose an appropriate lookup table. So let us say I have a scalar between 0 and 1 I want to know somehow denote each value inside some color so what you have is you have an array that has a bunch of colors and at every what do you call it every range of values say let us say if you want to show it with two colors or four colors as values from 0 to 1 I take anything between 0 and 0.25 and map it to red 0.25 to 0.5 I map it to blue so on and so forth so you define a lookup table which has which is a bunch of colors and you map whatever values you have through to the colors so given an array you can always visualize it in terms of colors so you can choose a whole bunch of different color maps so for example here I do not know there is a thing here where I say in the end bottom here it says hot. Hot is a particular color map if you do hot question mark I am sure there will be lots of information on the various color maps that matplotlib supports there are a whole bunch you can also do velocity vectors so you have a bunch of vectors and you want to show them in 2D yeah okay so mesh grid will basically generate a mesh of X values and Y values as a numeric array and now you can say cosine of X sine of and sine of Y to get the X and the Y the idea is generated arrays and you can actually generate in one stroke an entire block of area a field you can enter you can generate a complete vector field at each point you have a vector which is varying sinusoidally or cosine cosine function and it is just this these many lines and you can say quiver this function here basically generates arrows at each of those points and you can set properties of the arrows and so forth quiver key will actually say if you notice here you see a 1 meter per second and an arrow there so that basically gives you something like a key which says this arrow width indicates this kind of a length scale okay so the last thing is a map and I have never used this so this is just a picture from their screenshots and the example is pretty long so I have not shown you the code on the right side but the example can be found here but you can see that you can actually generate a map you need all the right data in order to show the boundaries to show the values and things like that and they have an example that shows you how to do that but what I am trying to indicate is matplotlib actually supports things as complicated as this so basically the whole range of 2D plotting with NumPy arrays is very easy to do and it is very efficient in the sense that once you know the basic syntax and you are comfortable with ipython and you set up ipython-pylab it is like just one line two lines and you can start experimenting and get a better feel. Now matplotlib is not just limited to what I showed you here it has an underneath the interface that I talked about today was Pylab. Pylab is the simple interface so that with one line two lines you can actually produce really good plots underneath it uses a full-fledged object oriented hierarchy and you can actually do more sophisticated plotting so in one situation I had to plot some circle with an ellipse sitting here and things like that these things can also be done but typically they are not used all the time so if you are really interested you can go in and look at the documentation they have a good mailing list as well so you can ask people there. They have a huge number of demos so it is a good idea to take a look at those and keep that handy whenever you are trying to plot something so that is it.


Jenkins Advocacy and Outreach CIG. Today is Thursday, November 30th. On the agenda, I have a quick thank you and shout out goes out for the Contributor Spotlight Project. We are officially live, so yay. Quick talk about Contributor Summit at Faustum. If there's anything else you wanna add there, John Mark. And then our, I think the depth of our discussion here is gonna be on GSOC 2024 planning. And then I have a couple of images for the holiday tweets that I wanted to share and just make sure that we got blessings before. We use those images for the holidays. Is there anything else we need to add? Cool. All right. Okay, so Contributor Summit Spotlight, sorry, Contributor Spotlight Project. Page is live. Thank you again to Chris, Kevin, John Mark, to everybody involved to help make this thing happen. So we're thrilled. I have a correction. I don't know how to raise my hand here. Yeah. The only thing I did besides cheering up the players was to update the Turbotron. I think Chris and Haveri and Kevin may have a lifting. So at least if you could move my name at the end and make it smaller, to be honest. Well, you did help us at the beginning. There was a long process with this, if you remember. We started a few months ago. So it did take a lot of people and it did take a lot of time. So don't underestimate your contributions here, but it counts. Thank you. Well, maybe Haveri there, but Chris made also a... Yes, definitely. Big, big work. Thank you, Chris. A lot of efforts from Chris and Kevin and Erwe. So all around, thank you so much. And then for the Contributor Summit, so we discussed earlier, this page is now live. Yeah. Invite has gone out as of yesterday evening, my time. So I will be tweeting about it. And I'll probably also ask CDF to help tweet as well. Yeah. And Roxanne did reach out to me. She said they do have some swag that they can donate. So we will have CDF swag and possibly CloudB swag. That's TBD. Anything you'd like to add here, Jean-Marc? No, I will maintain a centralized list of possible attendance for the Contributor Summit. I'm going to rephrase that in better English. So tentative attendance list. People have told me that they plan to attend and this can change during the time. I'll wait, we have some coordination meetings on that subject, end of December, beginning of January, latest. The planning of that day will start to coalesce and we're going to work on that. I'm including in the organization of that, a good part of the logistics for the Jenkins presence during FOSDEM. So mainly roll-ups, tablecloth and people that will mend the booth or be present. So this is also starting to shape. At least all the pieces have been identified and spotted on the map of Europe. No, we just need to organize to have them there. So there's a report on my side. It's moving ahead. Thank you. And then I'm also working on stickers as well as collection of swag. So logistics is in the works for those two items as well. And Bruno, will you be bringing your... Minigun. Thank you, Jean-Marc. Yes, for sure. I do hope it's still working. But yes, if it's not Minigun, it will be something else. But yes, I think I will bring that. Okay. All right. Things are coming together. So GSOC 2024. So we have the project idea page. Thanks again, Chris, for that. And so now I'm in the process of trying to herd mentors, right? So I have written a blog. And thank you, Bruno, Jean-Marc, Chris, for your input there. So I will be creating a pull request for that. And then I'll reach out to CDF as well and see if they can help us with soliciting for mentors too. We need to review it. Yep. Okay. And then scheduling a online meetup for prospects. I'm thinking that we should do one either in... Well, in December. This is basically telling them, this is what you should plan for, right? This is what you should expect. These are the requirements. And that would be the initial step. And I wanted to see your availabilities. I'm thinking December 14, 19, 21st. And it would be on Thursday, 8 a.m. Pacific time. Yeah. I'm unavailable the 21st. That's the 40th wedding anniversary. Oh, okay. So no, I will not be doing business meetings that day. I just would like to hear Chris's opinion about making the online meetup at that moment. Yeah. I don't have a preference. It doesn't matter. So as long as it works, I should be fine. Now on the... Not only the form, but also the background. I might have misunderstood. You had some doubts about doing that that early. What is your point of view on that? Last year we made it, but I was in the driving seat. So it would be nice. And Alyssa's idea is good, but I would like to hear your point of view. Chris. Maybe we should hold it later. I'd say maybe 19th or 21st. Because like right now we have one mentee returning as a mentor, which is harsh. So I think I have lost contact with you, so I don't know. So we have at least one person who may show up. But we need more time to find more prospects. And do you have an idea what the content will be? Or... Not yet, no. Because if you ask me, I can help you. And we have last year's experience of that. So what I can do is I'll look up what we did last year around this time. I'll add it. I'll add the links here. And then I think what we can do is improve it, make it better or add more information. But I think the concept there, if that was, you know, this is how you get things started. What is GSOC and things like that? And I think that would help. At least. My vote is for having that meeting.  I second Chris's point of view to have a little bit more mentors. Before the meeting. Before the meeting.  Now, I don't want to make the presentation. I can do a small part with perspective. But you are, the three of you are now in the driving seat. Yeah. For that. Now, the big pitfall, not to fall sorry, Chris, interrupted you. Lessons learned from last year. Not a monologue like I did. But that will be easy.  Also, like, I can prepare some slides for the presentation. So that should be fine. Okay. I'll start something and then we'll collaborate, Chris. Yep. Great. I like that. Okay. So. So Chris, you're leaning towards the 19th or the 20th, but we need to find more mentors and that they can join. And then we'll figure out whether it's a 19 on the 21st. Yeah. Right now, like, for sure, I know, like, have a, and a harsh of mentors, but. I don't know. Who was the other person before harsh. Oh, the mayor. Yeah, he will be a mentor. Yeah. Oh, he said it very quietly, but people heard it. Very, very clearly. So I will, will not let him escape. So he snagged his, his. All right. I'm not. I'm just, I'm just a little bit surprised. Don't let him run. He volunteered. Okay. We pay as a lasso. Right. Don't forget that the 21st. Mark is not available. Right. Right. So he has a good. Help to have him aboard. Make it 20th. 20th. Okay. That's a Wednesday. Okay. Would that work for you, Mark? Oh yeah. We can't hear you. I think you say no, because he's muted. I sold no on the lips. I still know. He's struggling with his unmute. No, I don't hear him. No problem, the 20th is fine. Even if I'm unable to run a keyboard, the 20th is fine.  We go for the 20th, I should be available, yeah. Good. I make myself a bit. That's good, I see that the program is in good hands. And then there was something else, was there something else that you wanted to bring up, Chris? Because I had a talk with John Mark yesterday and he said you had a couple of things you wanna bring up regarding GSOC. Maybe not his time, maybe next time, because like maybe we'll meet for GSOC, because I don't think they're like passing issues now. Okay. So I don't really remember what I said before in John Mark. Can you remind me? Now I have a doubt if it was related to the Jenkins I.O. and Docs part of specifically to Google Summer of Code. But Google Summer of Code, by here we are coordinating with the drive of Alissa, which is very good. If I may ask a couple of questions. So how are we with the project ideas? Could you do us a small summary? Where are we standing? You mean the current project ideas we have? Yes. Can we go to the page, Alissa, is it possible to navigate to it? I think we have quite a number of... We have 14 in total for now, but one of them is not supposed to become anything. Because like Mark said, he's not going ahead with it. Okay. So we have about 10 project ideas? 14. 14. That's him, yes. Yes. Hey, that will reach, but we're not rich in mentors. No. But we still have to ask Steve Hill and Raoult, if they're interested to mentor, I don't think we have asked. Right, Mark? So we need to ask permission to use the names here. It's just, I don't want to forget like who you mentioned, that's why the names are here. Hopefully it's okay with them. Mark, is Adrian going to help us this year, or is he completely worn out? I doubt it. I don't expect Adrian to be a part of the like in health score mentoring this year. Okay. I'll get rid of that name. So mentors is the focus of the team's work right now. We absolutely need. Other question. Is there interests on the various channels? Do we see people being active? Besides saying, hello, I'm going to change the world? No, no, I didn't see anything. They just asked the expressed interests, but they didn't start. Right, okay. Maybe a few did start, but I'm not sure if they're interested in JSONC. Yeah, certainly I'm seeing some traffic in the plugin installation manager tool, for instance, but it's hardly any of it's around code and the code submission that we did have was relatively weak. Okay, so we can safely, or you can safely concentrate on recruiting mentors. Good. My curiosity is answered. I didn't want to, I think it's looking good. Okay. So the takeaway here is we need to find more mentors. Yeah, project ideas were good. Yeah. Otherwise we have a strong mentor that comes with his project idea. That's okay, but we don't need to find more project ideas. This is my sentiment, Chris. Yeah. You've shared that. Okay. Agreed. Okay. Are there certain names that we think would be good mentors for any of these one projects or any of these projects that we can link a name to and then maybe perhaps I can chase them, reach out to them personally? Sight. Cloud events plugin for Jenkins may have some candidates inside Fidelity Investments. They've been very interested in the CD events technique, but we'll need to talk separately because I'm not sure if they're interested in mentoring in GSOC or not. That would be an even bigger stretch from a financial services company doing mentoring in a public project. It's already a stretch, I think, when they contribute source code to an open source project. Well, Mark, suggestion would be to ask the TSM who is following that account. Ah, good, interesting idea. I can give you names offline. Great, thanks. Because he's probably coaching them for the open source. I think Mark is also referring to the two people. I think it was two gentlemen that did their presentation at CDF, CDCon, Mark. Correct, right. Yeah, so there are people at Fidelity that are doing open source work at least in part of their work and they may be interested in this because it's an integration facility. Okay, I'll see and I'll try to reach out to them. I should have be able to at least get their contact information. Talk to Mark first. And I can, because there are some people that I know within my work sphere then that could help be a good catalyst. Okay, good. Anything else from here? No, good job. Looks good. I can go away peacefully. All right, moving on, last item. All right, so this is the image that CDF has created for us. This is a typo. So I will ask her to fix that, but this is the banner that we're gonna use. It should be 2023 recap. Oh yeah, okay, gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. So this is what we're gonna use as the header for our end of the year project recap. Happy new year. Okay, happy new year. Happy holidays. And I plan to use this around at least our Christmas December 25th-ish time. Happy holidays here. It's good. This is okay. But all the pictures I've seen now are good for me. So they have little cultural connotation, only if I wanted to be nitpicking, which is not my style. The fireplace is something for people down under in Australia, and they're currently under heats and heat waves at the swimming pool during the holidays. But they will understand the idea. So these are the only commentaries I can make for the three pictures you've shown me. Okay, I mean, for me, when I look at this picture, I'm okay with it, but my only worry is like somebody in, let's say that's going through a war, would they have? Would do you think that they, am I reading into this too much? Would this be an issue? You're reading too much. Okay. I tend to do that. I would say, yeah, well, no, but it's a good question. It's a question, then I will let others the time to react on it. This is, well, it's a fireplace. This is the way I see it, especially with the three balls on the sides. And so there's something that's warming and something you gather around. So these are the two or three values that I pick up from the picture. Okay. Yeah. No, the fireplace could have been. Go ahead. Jenkins gingerbread. No, no, just kidding. I get this is way too American, you know, gingerbread, small people. Yeah, okay. No, no, no, no, no, no, gingerbread in Germany is just coming from. Yes, I was thinking of US and Germany, but maybe not too much in the rest of the world. We don't have that picture of Jenkins made as a gingerbread. That's okay. No, I wouldn't do that. Yeah. I wouldn't do that. They hear the pictures color-wise. They're nice. The picture Alyssa is showing there. It conveys again for the northern atmosphere this important period where the nights are the longest. And this is a moment where the new season, the new year starts with days getting longer and everything that's around that. And this translates or transmitted by these two candle lights. Oh, candle lights. I thought it was a picture of somebody trying to solder something on his motherboard while he still plugged in. Okay. It's something. Oh, you got me. So, okay. All right, okay. Bruno, two to zero. Chris, what did you see? Because you're far away from US and Europe. I'm just so sorry. Do you see some harm in the pictures? Oh, no, really. No, no, really. No. Not too many cultural conversations this time. Okay. I think it's safe to use these then. I will plan ahead with this. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. They're good. Well done. Well, because they're neutral enough and have the festive and convey happiness by the choice of colors. Yeah. So, well done. All right. That's it. Unless anybody else wants to add anything else on the agenda. I just want to ask about the contributor's spotlight. Like, how are we doing with the frequency for releasing new pieces? So, our plan is to release a new or highlight a new contributor every two weeks. So, Alex will have this platform for two weeks. And then after that, we will highlight another contributor. Okay, I see. And Chris, just so I may not have even mentioned it at some point, but the date that's in the PR title is going to be the anticipated publication date for the spotlight. So, like right now, we have Alex Earls next up in the pipeline. So, his release date, I think I updated it to December 11th, because that would be two weeks from when we went live this week. So, that's going to be the format going forward as well. Okay. Do you have a comment on that, Chris, or was it more by curiosity? Or is it curious? Okay. One thing I wanted to ask, so for like, for success stories and for contributor spotlight tab, if I wanted to go back to Jenkins.io, it won't take me there. But if I'm on like this blog page, it will take me to the homepage. Rhonda, is it okay? Yeah, I mean, Alex wants to have it before. I don't know where to add to it, but we probably fix it. Wait a second. So, Alyssa, you're showing, could you refresh the page, you're on? Yeah. You're on www.jenkins.io and you do see it. Okay, so it's probably then a caching issue because I see something different on my page. When I try to open www.jenkins.io, contributor spotlight is not there at all. So, I suspect looking at it, so if you click, for instance, success stories, okay, and it's there for you as well. Okay, so somehow or other, I suspect it's just a caching thing and we need to find a way to eliminate that or to declare that cache as stale because I just submitted an issue to www.jenkins.io reporting this with pictures of my screen and my pictures are different than yours. So, you've shown us something here in the meeting recorded that hints that we've got either a cache that's preserving too long on my computer or something else. So, what was the problem you were seeing then? So, when you click contributor spotlight, it goes to the right place. Well, so if I'm on success story and I want to go back to the home page, it will not take me there. And that's the same thing with contributor spotlight. I think it's good one. For now, if you go back to www.jenkins.io, it's like, if you just type it. Oh, good. It's not the contributor spotlight should not be there yet. But it's when clicking on Jenkins on the left side. It's like, if you do that, it happens. When I, it's not there yet. Oh, okay. So, it's supposed to do that, but it's not implemented, right? Wait, let me check again. Let me check in that box here. Because I have it here in front of me. I see Jenkins and when I click on it, the page refreshes. Now I need to open the log file. What is the link of that? Yes, the link for me is contributor.jenkins.io. Correct. So the link is bad. Yep. Okay. Okay, so the problem that I had reported is now solved by my pressing control F5 in my browser. So the caching thing that I was seeing is resolved. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just cached. Yeah, no wonder, because I've been there for so long. Yeah, so it was... Now, and I suspect that's just a timing thing that the caches only last for a certain period and then they're refreshed. Say again the... So when you click the Jenkins page... On the far left. Right, far left. It stays on contributors, which sort of is what I expected it to do. That's not what you expected it to, John Mark. Well, Jenkins.io and John Mark too, I guess. Yes, and Alyssa too. Because the question is, how do you go back to the main site without clicking on blog or... I see, okay. So what you're thinking is that when I'm on success stories and I click the Jenkins link, it should take me to www.jenkins.io. Not stay on stories. Correct. Correct. Okay, so I confirm I see that behavior as well. So in order to get back to www.jenkins.io, I have to click one of the things on the right-hand side. Yeah. Things right now currently are the way it's set up. It's like if you click on Jenkins, while you're on contributors spotlight, you go back to the same page. Exactly, yeah, same for success stories. Yeah, and plugins, we have it too. Yeah. Right. It's not inactive. It's like it's doing something except it's not going to the right place. Yeah. Okay, so... Go ahead. Well, no, I was more, what is the desired behavior because I thought the new page, the two new sites introduced a new behavior, but I see that going to plugin, for instance, as the same between brackets issue. Yeah.  Yeah, it stays at plugin. But when you go to... Is it going to what's considered the homepage for that specific URL? I guess that's what's the goal, yeah. That was a change to the homepage of Jenkins.io, no matter where we should have it on. So maybe that's a subject for the UI UX meeting. No, no, no, that's a subject for, if anything, for Docs Office Hours. This is not a UI UX thing. This is a Docs Office Hours topic. But so what I'm hearing is, John Mark, your expectation was that the top left-hand corner would jump to www.Jenkins.io in all cases, which is consistent with the CD thing that is to the left of it. And so in a sense, that's left-hand side navigations are always to top level of something. Right, yeah, this was... Now it's Alyssa that spotted it, but Alyssa had the very right question, probably from her marketing background. How do you get home? How do you get out of the menu? So this was the $100 question or $1,000 question. Yeah, and the fact that I was able to do that with blog, that's just the way I maneuver around. So I was able to go back home with blog, but then with Contribute Spotlight, I couldn't unless, yeah, I just couldn't. Yeah. Valid thing, Alyssa, do you want to be the one to raise the issue to the Jenkins documentation site or do you want one of us to do it? Well, some people have to show me how to do it or tell me where to go. I'd be happy to do it, just haven't done it before. Let's pile it on Kevin, actually, and put it in Docs Office Hours. Kevin, are you comfortable with the issue and Docs Office Hours is an okay place to review it? Yeah, I've already put it in the agenda for later. So yeah, we'll talk about it and discuss and go from there. I can create the issue if anything, yeah, it's not a problem. Thank you, Kevin. Thank you. Okay, I think that's it. Have a good evening, have a good afternoon, have a good night, have a good day, bye. Okay, bye-bye everybody, cheers.


Hello and welcome once again to the rugged rockhound today. We're gonna cut some stuff I've got some stuff from Keith Cunningham those who might remember. I did an unboxing where we Kind of sent each other. We did a swap rock swap and so I've got a few of them I want to cut open right now. Let's take a quick look at them here. We have a Few of the ones that I think are good size that will work well on this saw I do have quite a few still to cut that are big That I'll have to save till I have a bigger saw and a few others that I want to do other things with But for now, this is what we're gonna cut open Starting off with one of the aggots Let's see what we got here. It's kind of what I thought. I thought it would be mostly colorless But it should allow a fair bit of light through it. So that's pretty cool Okay, the next one from the outside looks like a geode or an agate or a thunder egg. So let's see Oh, I'd say that's pretty much an agate. Okay, nice It would be nice if I would have cut across here and had that as the base huh Well, that's how you learn here's the next one and Thanks to my subscribers. They have told me that this is known as Unikite or unikites, you know, I need to look up the pronunciation. It's probably unikite, but I'll look it up and Find out for sure I'm assuming it'll probably look on the same as that as the inside of the outside pretty much Yeah, it kind of looks like a really neat granite with like red jasper going through it and Some of the ones I have have green in them to a lot of green Pretty cool stuff.   That's unfortunate. Yeah, it happens. So here's that nice tumbled piece of wood That he sent unfortunately it had an inherent fracture in it and it broke as I was cutting it Oh, that's beautiful though the grain of it So you can see the flaw going through at the fracture There are actually a couple fractures. So what I'm going to do in this case is this piece the bigger one I'm going to hold on to it till I can just grind it down And make it into something nice Unfortunate, but it happens when they're tumbled you never know They could have a fracture in them Okay, here's another agate. I was really excited for this one because it looked like it had red in it So here it is Oh, yeah, that's pretty nice So it looks like there's like these thin fractures that had some iron go through it Resulting in the color and the patterns That's pretty cool Okay, here's one of the uh jaspers that Keith sent Let's take a look Nice. Oh, I'm glad I caught that vein That's nice Looks like a lightning bolt going through it That's pretty cool. I like that one And here's the final one, which looks like a thunder egg from Oregon Let's take a look Yep, that looks like a thunder egg. Nice That's a good one What a good one to end on And there you have it that some of the rocks from Keith who uh, we did the rocks up with and Pretty nice. Now you might be thinking wait, weren't there more that you were going to cut? Yeah, there were I decided as I was cutting there were a couple that were still a little big that I thought I'm going to save these to have a bigger saw and one that was too small that I was like Might be better if I tumble this one So I decided to just cut those ones and they turned out pretty nice So that was a lot of fun. Thank you again Keith and remember there is treasure everywhere


This new type of flexible pressure sensor has been developed to overcome the compression saturation of conventional sensors. It has demonstrated high sensitivity, 636 kPa, 1, and a wide detection range, from 0.1 kilopascals to 56 kilopascals. Furthermore, it has shown excellent stability when subjected to repeated cycles of compression and unloading. This sensor is capable of monitoring arterial pulse waves from both deep tissues and distal parts, such as digital arteries and dorsal petal arteries, making it suitable for blood pressure estimation.

Hi, this is Ishaq Abdullah. I'm an environmental sciences student minoring environmental policy at AUS. Currently, I'm in my final year and I'm interning as an eco-rapid AUS sustainability. We've noticed how much sustainability is strongly being integrated into our global policy agenda, which is also now promoting the inclusion of the youth in the process. And the UAE's national strategy is fostering this youth engagement by leveraging our capabilities through conferences and programs and initiatives. And so, almost our developed the Youth for Sustainability initiative that integrates this very strategy through two different programs when being the future sustainability leaders program that I decided to enroll in. And I decided to be part of FSL because I was seeking an opportunity to build the right soft skills that will help me accelerate my development in my own career goals towards global climate and sustainable development. And so, my colleagues and I, we expect an intensive and interactive experience throughout this year-long program, which will help build the right foundation for our generation to lead a sustainable future.


British intelligence describes critical situation of Russian Federation in Bakhmut. Ukrainian forces are continuing to carry out successful offensives near the city of Bakhmut in Donetsk Oblast, while the Russian military is suffering from low morale and hardly has the reserves to hold the town. United Kingdom Defence Intelligence reported it. It is noted that after a lull in June over the past seven days, Bakhmut has again become the site of some of the most intense fighting along the front, with Ukrainian troops making steady gains both north and south of the city. Russian defenders are highly likely suffering from low morale, a mix of disparate units and limited ability to find and strike Ukrainian artillery. UK Defence Intelligence notes, the review points out that Moscow apparently considers it politically unacceptable for Ukrainian forces to surrender Bakhmut, a city that has symbolic value as one of the few achievements of Russian forces in the last year of the war. However, there are highly likely few additional reserves for Russia to commit to the sector. The UK Intelligence Service states, the town of Bakhmut in Donetsk Oblast was the scene of one of the fiercest confrontations between Ukrainian and Russian forces until the Russian side announced in May this year that it had allegedly seized the town. According to Ukrainian and Western officials, Russia lost a significant amount of manpower during the offensive on Bakhmut, at least 60,000 killed and wounded.
