Hello and welcome to today's class. I hope you could go through what I discussed in the last class but we will have a brief recap of the last lecture today before we look at the other aspects of asymmetric C-C bond formation. So towards the first part of our last lecture that we saw was how enol salyl ethers can be made to react with strong electrophiles. We need strong electrophiles such as E plus as a carbocation or for example as we discussed towards the end we can have a CH2Cl and generate upon reaction with Lewis acid say for example SNCl4 or LCl3 or anything and then of course we can generate the carbocation and this carbocation is generated because the sulfur stabilizes this carbocation. So this is how one can then allow the reaction of such electrophiles to take place with enol salyl ether and introduce CH2S phenyl group here and have a C-C bond formation. Now this is possible because the electrophile is very strong but as a general rule in enol salyl ethers are not very strong nucleophiles they are weak nucleophiles and therefore we need to have a strong electrophile to react with it. We saw various aspects of it and saw even how a tertiary cation can be allowed to react with these enol salyl ethers and we can get the ketones having a tertiary little group alpha to it which is not easy to introduce by traditional means. So enol salyl ether is a good option to go for such reactions but then there are disadvantages as we discussed that only strong electrophiles can be reacted. But although other hand we can also react with this with say methyl lithium or lithium amide as we discussed or even tetrabutyl ammonium fluoride tetrabutyl ammonium fluoride and then we can generate the corresponding enolate upon the when these particular nucleophiles any one of them this or this or this then they react with the carbon silicon bond is broken and the enolate is generated. Now so enol salyl ether can be made reactive and has a reactive nucleophile or an enolate upon reaction with say these species like methyl lithium or lithium amide or tetrabutyl ammonium fluoride. And then we saw the chemistry of imine. So we had something like this where we had an imine where this particular proton alpha to the imine group can be deprotonated and we can generate an enamine of this type where we can write the resonance structure as this and what it indicates is that the M plus which is what is going to come from base. So there has to be an M plus here as a counter cation. This counter cation will remain close to the negative charge on the nitrogen because it is more electronegative and then this allows the C-C bond formation to take place. Then we also saw the other aspects of it where the imine chemistry was done with chiral amines and in chiral amines we saw how asymmetric induction via C-C bond formation can be done and in the process we also introduced Samp and Ramp as two hydrazines which allow the imine to form and this imine upon deprotonation then allows enamine to form. Now this enamine is different enamine as compared to the enamine developed by Stork because in the Stork enamine case the nitrogen did not have a negative charge whereas in this particular case we have a negative charge and the M plus plays a very crucial role and that is exactly what is done in the case of chiral amines Samp and Ramp cases where the methoxymethyl group next to the attached on to the nitrogen is of course useful for the chelation and thus guiding the asymmetric induction. So these are the things we saw in the last class and now we see what after the C-C bond formation has taken place using Samp or Ramp type of hydrazines and then what happens to the products or what can be done to the products which are obtained after the C-C bond formation has occurred. Now this is how the product of the Samp or Ramp type is written and now what can be done with it of course we can do the ozone analysis of the carbon nitrogen bond or we can do the hydrolysis of the carbon nitrogen bond with the help of methyl iodide and hydrogen chloride to form the corresponding ketone. So now this we can regenerate it. On the other hand we can directly react with this dithiol to prepare the dithion like this in the presence of BF3 etherate. So without hydrolyzing the this hydrazone to the ketone and then reacting with this dithiol in the presence of the Lewis acid to get this we can directly react this hydrazone itself because then the carbon nitrogen bond acts like a leaving group. So it is very similar in terms of its reactivity to like a carbonyl group and therefore we can prepare the dithion this is 1, 3 dithion in the same pot. Now we can also reduce the carbon nitrogen double bond first with lithium aluminum hydride to go to the corresponding amine and then when we do the radical based reduction then of course we have a nitrogen bond cleavage and that leads to the formation of if R1 is H otherwise there should be R1 here and then of course we get to the corresponding amine. So we have this particular reduction leading to amine. So we can get to a ketone or we can prepare a protected ketone as a dithion and or we can go to the corresponding amine. Now if R1 is H then we can expect this type of intermediate product to form which upon reaction with per acid like this so we have R3 here and R2 here and we have a hydrogen here. So if we do a per acid treatment to this we expect that we can have this intermediate to form where the anoxide can form and this anoxide then allows this type of cleavage of course there will be positive charge to form and then that leads to the formation of the corresponding nitrile C triple bond N. So this is how this particular molecule has been obtained and of course now this nitrile group can be then converted into different other functional groups. So these are various conversions which we can carry out of the hydrazone that is formed from Samp and Ramp based hydrazines after the C-C bond formation has occurred. The drawbacks of these reactions are that these are expensive reagents and they are definitely going to contribute to the cost of the product that needs to be evaluated at the end of the reaction. Of course you have to expose to LDA for several hours to carry out the deprotonation and the alkylation needs to be done at very low temperature as you saw as low as minus 100 degrees temperature of course and then after the alkylation has been done you slowly bring the reaction to the room temperature and then you have to cleave the hydrazone and this limits the functional group compatibility because suppose as we saw in the case of preparation of the nitrile we cleaved it by means of paracid treatment. Suppose your molecule contains a double bond then there will be a problem in terms of the paracid reacting with the double bond also. So functional group compatibility has to be seen. So these are some of the drawbacks which are associated with Samp and Ramp but then these were found to be very useful reactions at the beginning of the asymmetric induction based CC bond formations were looked at it. So it is a very useful contribution that needs to be appreciated and also learnt how these were introduced and how they were useful. Then at the same time Wolfgang Apolser in Switzerland introduced camphor sultans as interesting chiral auxiliaries. The camphor sultans look like this which is 1s minus 210 camphor sultans or like this which is 1r plus 210 camphor sultans. Now these are derived from camphor which is a naturally occurring molecule and the reason to choose such kind of auxiliaries or ligands was basically because the exo part that is the upper part of the camphor here in all the cases is basically highly sterically hindered and therefore the reactions occur from the endocyte from the lower side. So now let us see some reactions for example if we take one of these camphor sultans and react with this acid chloride in the presence of sodium hydride then we get this kind of dynofile which is a chiral auxiliary containing dynofile. Now if we allow this dynofile to react with cyclopentadiene in the presence of ethyl dichloro aluminum at minus 78 degrees then the Diels-Alder reaction occurs from the lower side because the upper side as I mentioned is sterically blocked and therefore the reaction occurs from the lower side and leads to the formation of this kind of Diels-Alder adduct which contains the chiral auxiliary. But when lithium aluminum hydride mediated reduction is done then this particular part gets cleaved and the corresponding alcohol is released and of course we regenerate the chiral auxiliary. Now these reactions have been found to be in high yield and high enantiose selectivity. A full account of the lot of work that has been done by camphor sultan based asymmetric synthesis has been reviewed recently in tetrahedron asymmetry. Now what is happening is basically the reaction from the top phase when the cyclopentadiene is approaching the dynofile it could approach either from the top phase or it could approach from the bottom phase and the top phase is not preferred because of this steric hindrance here the lower phase is the one that is what is preferred or the bottom phase is preferred. Now as you can see that when the diene is approaching from the top phase if this is what is the top phase which is not preferred then this is the kind of intermediate ideal form where this carbon carbon bond basically is pointing towards us. And that we can see that if we just turn around on the paper around 90 degrees of the paper we can come up to this particular so this and this are basically same except that we have carried out the reduction here. So basically if you just turn it around you will see that the double bond comes on the right side and then of course we will have the methyl group which is going backside will turn towards above upper side and then you get to this particular geometry which is what is reflected here. On the other hand in the reaction take place on the bottom phase then this is the intermediate that is going to form and which again by simply twisting or turning not breaking any bonds twisting appears like this. So this particular product and these are basically as you can see they are mirror images of each other and thus if we see that there is a facial selectivity. So if the Diels-Alder reaction is allowing a discrimination of the phase therefore this product is going to form exclusively. This is also reflected in another example in which if we take this type of group attached to the ligand then we are favoring it to put it in this particular fashion but we can also think about another way of attaching. So basically this is coming from say you have a acid chloride and then we have this group here and to which the ligand or the auxiliary is attached. When the nitrogen based auxiliary attaches its attachment takes place here and we can either write it in this fashion or we can write it in this fashion. This is the one that is more preferred because for the reason that on the top phase is going to be sterically hindered and this particular one is not sterically hindered. And therefore the carbonyl group oriented in this fashion to which the cuprate then attacks on to this carbon and then this goes as a leaving group leading to the formation of this auxiliary contained intermediate which of course can be reduced with lithium aluminum hydride. And then once we get the corresponding CH2OH after this path is reduced the amide part is reduced we can carry out the swan oxidation and eventually to form this beta gamma unsaturated aldehyde having a C-C bond formed here by the cuprate that we have added. So the reaction is obviously taking place from the alpha side. So the attack is taking place from the alpha side that is the reason why this alpha group has come because the lower side is relatively sterically less bulky. So if we take this is the one that we took where the alpha track was taking place from this side and if we take its mirror image which is what is this particular one. So if we write the same one as here so this is going to be its mirror image and that is what is shown here. So if we take this its mirror image even then again the alpha attack will take place because alpha attack is more preferable because this side attack is sterically blocked. And therefore again alpha attack will give this methyl group to be formed from the alpha side but then if we just turn it around 180 degrees then of course this becomes beta oriented which will upon reduction and oxidation will give a product like this. So from this we had got this product and from this particular mirror image we have got this product here. So this leads to the product having beta oriented methyl group whereas here it is alpha oriented. So there are two enantiomers of each other. So we can carry out such C-C bond formations by two different types of camphor-sultium based dyno files or Michael acceptors or starchy materials which would allow SN2 prime of reaction to take place. It is essentially an SN2 prime type of reaction that is taking place and we can get two different types of enantiomers in very high enantioselectivity and high yield. Now we go to the next set of reactions which is basically an aldol type of reaction. So if we start with an aldehyde and react with a ketone of any kind then what we can expect that if the aldehyde does not have an alpha hydrogen. So suppose we have a benzaldehyde then what we can expect is that anion can form here and then we can expect a syn product to form or an anti product to form. So right now we have not taken any base or any product which has any elements of symmetry or a symmetry. So what we are doing right now is we are producing this syn diol or the anti diol as racemic. So basically they are forming racemic products but now right now we are thinking about diasteromers. So we can expect either this syn product which is called as erythro product or anti product which is called trio product generally is something that we need we can form. So if we carry out this aldol reaction basically it will form this mixture where from syn or anti aldols need to be separated. Now is there a way by which we can control these reactions and get only one of them as the major product because we will have to eventually see how they can be done as an asymmetric aldol reaction. For that purpose there is a directed aldol reaction that is you direct the regiochemistry as well as control the stereochemistry. So you can have a preformed enol ether or enolate of one of the components and then carry out the aldol condensation which is what is called Mukayama aldol condensation. So that means we start with a ketone and we can make an enolate and then we react with the aldehyde here and then we can have the corresponding aldol product where the electrophilic carbonyl group could have a chelation with the M that is the metal attached to the enolate and then that leads to the formation of the corresponding aldol after the hydrolysis has taken place. Now this newly formed aldol is essentially trapped as a metal chelate complex and that is the reason why we need the hydrolysis to take place. Now this trapping can efficiently be done if we have a lithium ion as a counter ion and therefore if the reaction say for example of such a ketone is done with LDA at minus 70 degrees in the presence of HMPA basically to allow the nucleophilicity of the LDA to be high because the HMPA coordinates with the lithium plus and the LDA becomes more basic or better as a base and then you generate at that temperature we generate an enolate from the less substituted side and that reacts with the acetyl this propenaldehyde to form this aldol which upon of course has to be hydrolyzed and we get the 90% of it. The lithium essentially traps the aldol by chelate formation but solvents must be a protec like ether or THF. We cannot use obviously protec solvents because we are using LDA and therefore ether or THF is used. We can also use enol-cylyl ether as we discussed the chemistry of the enol-cylyl ether for directed aldol condensation and the acidic conditions and like as I shown here the TICL4 can be used as a Lewis acid to activate the carbonyl group and the carbonyl group when it is activated by titanium tetrachloride the Cl- which is released from here reacts with the silicon and cleaves the oxygen-silicon bond and eventually it is trapped as the titanium complex like this which upon hydrolysis leads to the formation of the aldol. The advantage is that TICL4 is the best catalyst retro aldol reaction is prevented because every aldol reaction in principle can be a reversible reaction but the titanium complex like this here stops the reversion and the disadvantage of course is that such reactions are non-steer selective compared to using lithium or boron enolate. So this something that we need to very carefully address and this enol-cylyl ether based chemistry although it is useful developed by Mukayama but it has some disadvantages. Now the stereochemistry in aldol reactions one can see that we can get a syn product as I mentioned but it will also be its mirror image present as the corresponding syn product and a similar fashion we can have Nt and also its mirror image. So basically there has to be an internal stereochemical control which of course will lead to diastereoselection that means that between syn and anti if we get a syn as say 90 and anti as 10 then we have basically a diastereomeric selection or diastereoselection control because we are still dealing with 90 this plus minus enantiomers. On the other hand we have to have absolute stereochemical control that means either plus or minus or that means that out of all these four possibilities if we can get only one as the major product then of course we have to say that it is going to be an absolute stereochemical control or enantioselective reaction. So we have to have both diastereoselection as well as enantioselection both we need to have so that we can get out of these four possibilities only one product as the major product then such a reaction will be highly useful and it will be an enantioselective reaction in terms of aldol chemistry. A lot of work has been done and a lot of auxiliaries that have been introduced for such aldol reactions and we will study one of them which is very useful but then that requires the enolate based understanding of what kind of enolates are useful. As I mentioned just now that boron and lithium based enolates are very useful so we will stop it today at this stage and look at the enolates which are boron or lithium based enolates and how do they allow the enantioselective aldol reaction to occur and how they are useful in modern day organic chemistry. Till then I think you should go through this whatever I have taught in this class and we will see you in the next class till then bye and thank you.


Good evening lads and ladies, and welcome to PSVWare News, on tonight's report. Sony Bigwig, interviewed by Japanese media on the PSVR2 in 2023. Epic Games boss Timothy Sweeney says don't expect Fortnite to come to VR. John Karamak becomes so disgusted by the quest that he can no longer tolerate math for love nor money. Demio upping its price to reflect its added value through updates, but is that the real reason? Sony quietly reveals six weeaboo PSVR2 titles, five of which should be there for launch. Sony Interactive's Hideaki Nishino was recently interviewed by Famitsu in regards to Sony's upcoming 2023 plans, which included segments on PSVR2. When asked about the development of PSVR2, Nishino had this to say, There is one USB-C port on the front of the PS5, but that was actually prepared in anticipation of connecting the PSVR2. As he explained how the PS5 was built with the PSVR2 in mind, he went on to say that this early consideration would lead to a smoother user experience. PSVR still had issues with the connection with the PS4 system, so in order to clean up those things, I thought about IT together with the PS5 from the beginning. The interviewer brought up the popularity of wireless standalone virtual reality headsets, to which Nishino had this to say. We believe that there is nothing that suppresses the current cable, going wireless will give you another experience, so are all ways looking at all possibilities. However, there is still the issue of how far the performance that can be realized, only with cables can be replaced with wireless. Famitsu went on to address their software concerns with PSVR2, saying the following. We are all so concerned about the future software line-up for long-term use, being addition to the titles that have already been announced. Will Boss SIE and third parties continue to release new titles. Nishino had this reassurance to offer. They are still more unannounced titles that I've been able to experience the demo version of, in addition to those that have already been announced, so please look forward to it. Finally, Nishino seemed to imply that it was Capcom who were eager to get virtual reality into Resident Evil Village rather than Sony. Stays in the following. The CEO of Epic Games and creator of the Unreal Engine, Tim Sweeney, recently put any hopes of Fortnite coming to VR in the gutter during a recent interview with The Verge. Our Tim Sweeney correspondent, Jordan Peterson, has more. It began with an interview with American technology news website, The Verge, where Sweeney said the following. Epic has no plans to build a VR version of Fortnite, not out of any grand business strategy, but just because the thing that we do in Fortnite every day as gamers is run through an environment rapidly, and it's the kind of experience that involves intense motion and doesn't work as well in virtual reality. And so if we were to ever do anything in VR, it would have to be something that's really custom tailored for the experience. The article led to a Twitter thread lamenting the decision where Sweeney himself joined in the discussion. Further explaining his position on the subject, is there a good VR game with fast shooter style player movement that doesn't induce widespread motion sickness? If VR required special modes, groups would be fragmented. The exercise seems futile, unless full modes like Battle Royale could be made to work comfortably in VR. Though Sweeney ended his thoughts with a glimmer of hope for VR fans, stating the observation that players acclimate with experience is worth exploring further. With VR in a precarious position, support from world-renowned IPs like Fortnite or Call of Duty would be very welcome, and give the medium a fighting chance to make it to the mainstream. But that won't happen, while flat neanderthals like Tim Sweeney are calling the shots. This is Jordan B. Peterson reporting for PSVR News. Back to you, pumpkins. Thank you Jordan. Legendary programmer John Karamak has left his position at Metta, where he worked as an executive consultant. Many point to Karamak as being one of the fathers of virtual reality who pushed to get virtual reality ready for consumers. In his message explaining his decision, Karamak outlined his frustration with the efficiency of the company. We have a ridiculous amount of people and resources, but we constantly self-sabotage and squander effort. There is no way to sugarcoat this. I think our organization is operating at half the effectiveness that would make me happy. The news should come as a concern to all of those expecting and anticipating the Metta Quest III, as it sounds like it's going to be an absolute hape of shite. Resolution Games, the studio behind the critically acclaimed Demio, are set to hike the price of their current game Demio from $30 to $40. Resolution Games had this to say on the increase. With the first saga coming to a close in this final chapter, Demio's price will increase from $39.99 across all platforms beginning January 12, to reflect the breadth of the game, which includes the addition of four complete adventures, three new playable characters, and numerous other enhancements since the game's early 2021 launch. With the PSVR2 version of Demio having already been confirmed as a $40 title, this increase will bring us in line with that version.  I mean, if you were already going to get Demio on those other headsets, you'd probably already have it by now. And our final story tonight. Sony, like rats in the nice, have snuck out another blog post a couple of days ago. This one confirming six titles that are coming to PSVR2. Five of those titles are expected to be day one launches, with only one of them being TBA. FantaVision 2020X, Altair Breaker, The Tale of Anogoro, Kizuna AI, Touch the Beat, and DeSynchronia, Cronus Alternus are all set to be there on the 22nd of February with X8 being the only title with no confirmed release days. After quickly scrolling through the blog post myself, I can tell you that all of these games look pretty much like the kind of game that the quiet lad in your class with the trenchcoats and the fedora would enjoy very much and more power to him. That's it for the news. Before you go, please remember to like, subscribe, all that usual YouTube and shies to stay informed of PSVR2 news. I've been Petrifying Pumpkins, and you've been watching PSVR News. Please stay moist.


Welcome to documentation office hours. It's the 13th of January 2022. Great to have everybody here remind you that we abide by the Jenkins code of conduct. So topics that I had for today news outstanding PR reviews there are other topics we could consider like she code Africa idea review. And so that's for the contribute on and the New Year's blog post the New Year blog post. And then there was the, let's see topic that I might have which is site previews on www.jankins.io poll requests. That's a fun one to see and then using get pod for Jenkins.io poll requests development. Any other topics others would like to add to the agenda. Yes, so I have a couple of questions around new contributors for Jenkins documentation. Go ahead. So how about we capture the questions we may not answer them immediately but ask questions and let's let's put them on the agenda. So the first question is good first issue is about good first issues on Jenkins.io. So I checked and I noticed that the last the most recent issue there is I think from June last year. So I wanted to ask how are those updated. So we have new contributors right now that want to contribute to Jenkins documentation.  So that's the first question. Then the second question is, do we have any documentation or any video on how to set up Jenkins.io on Windows. Currently. Okay, great. All right, so let's this those are both good candidates to steal time with this one is using get pod. So that's good. All right, so let's talk to those any any other questions you know. This is not a question actually this is just me so I was thinking of starting a block. A series of blog post on Jenkins. So I just want to. Yeah, run that by you then also possible topics because I'll like. I don't know if it's possible for you to review them. I start working on them.  Very good. Okay. That's why I asked the second question because actually I'd got a new PC. So I have to redo the installation of Jenkins or this be set up and all that. So that's why I was asking if we have any documentation or video. So that if not, probably I could document the process while I'm doing it again and if possible do a video while I'm doing it again so we can have that. Great, very good. All right, so let's let's I think I think that's a let's put it as a new contributors to Jenkins docs and let's try to answer those questions very good. Any others who have topics they want to add. Okay, well then I propose let's put. Meg, would you be okay if we put Zenob's question first. I was going wondering about that I think that's an excellent idea. Okay, great. So let's do that. All right, so brief brief review of news just so that you're aware, Jenkins 2.319.2 has released. It's a security release, and planning is in progress for Google Summer of Code, and planning is planning is starting soon. Planning is starting soon for. For she code Africa contribute on. So now on to Zenob's question so as a new contributor, let's first look at the good first issues, and you're absolutely correct Zenob, it's not as current as it should be so on what her question was hey, one way to decide how to help the Jenkins is look at the list of issues on documentation and look for things with the label good first issue like this. See, and my screen shared right yes okay so you can see it. So what I want. Okay. So what I did was, I, I searched for how to contribute to Jenkins on Google, and it took me to that documentation page, there's a documentation page, and on that page, there is a link that says okay you can get started here on that link. And when I clicked on the link, it took me, it brought me to get home, but the most recent issue on that page brought me to was 21st was around June last year, June 2021. So that was what I did. So I don't know if that's the same with this. I don't know, or probably I don't know. I think it is I think, I think the navigation you used took you to what what I expect is good first issues and here the most recent one is June of 2021. Exactly. So I think I think this matches. And what that says is we haven't done a triage, a review of the issues to see if there are others in the list that are good first issues. So for example, this one is a good first issue because I just read it. This one is probably a good first issue. And this one might be a good first issue and that's probably about it for now so I'm going to label those as good first issue. I'm going to address one of the challenges so that if I'm lucky that will apply the label. It did very good. Okay. So, so now we have a few more but but the challenge is real, we probably ought to put a sort of a once a month to place a monthly reminder to update the good first issues labels. Because if we don't do it contributors arrive and see oh hey, I don't know how to help and things are outdated here where this, some of these really are pretty reasonable first issues. Good. Okay, so, so that was fairly easy but not the ultimate solution, because now this was your, what I think is the more daunting challenge. How do I do Jenkins that I own development on windows. And based on our past experience, I'd almost go the other direction and say, we may be better serve by teaching people how to use a preconfigured development environment over a web browser, so that they could from their windows or their Android tablet or their macOS or their Linux or free BST they could still do development. And there's this tool called get pod that allows that. Let's see if I've got this yeah here it is. So this thing was added by john mark mason that provides a configuration automation for people who want to use get pod and what get pod is is a get pod is a hosted development environment in the cloud. And to donate these hosted environments up to a certain number of hours per month to people who subscribe. Okay, and so, so the trick technique then is, I go to get pod.io. And now I have to log in. I think I did it with GitHub. Yeah, so I have this is my environment. And now, when I do, if I say oh I want a new project. And I'm going to look at. Oh, I have to change this so that I can see Jenkins.io. Next. Oh, that's not it. What I've got to do is I've got to teach it. No, that's correct. I've got to teach it to let me see Jenkins my my project on Jenkins.io reconfigure. This is the one I want to configure. Oops, just a minute I have to press my security key. But what this is going to do is it's going to allow me to run my ID on the cloud.  External security key. Touch it. Okay, so now what I've got to do is I've got to allow a where is my configuration select repository so I need to add one more repository Jenkins.io. You know, the idea here is this would allow you to instead of running it on your local computer, you would do your development through this web page. And so here I'm going to select a new project, a new workspace, and it's doing a build of it. And it's going to have the environment and I can actually watch it. I can view it. We've got Jean-Marc Mieson who has agreed to do some highlighting of how you use this more effectively so I think that's at least a good, good first starting way to get going. No. Now that. Okay, that doesn't. Yeah, go ahead. Sorry. I was like, this looks much easier than having to set it up on your machine and all that. Yeah, well, and I agree. I think it is easier. And the benefit for me is, as as the configuration changes. You get pod configuration on the on the repo is updated, and you get the configuration changes so if something, something gets adjusted. We're using some newer version of this or that or the other thing. Then that's automatically happens for you and you don't have to remember to update your own computer. Now, now that doesn't that doesn't give you immediate solution to the problem what you'd have to do is. So what would a user do what would a new contributor do. And they would register forget pod fork the Jenkins the Jenkins dot IO repository to their private repository to their, their personal. Yeah, just fork the repository you understand the verb. And start a get pod project from that Jenkins that IO repository. And then submit pull requests. And that I think is what it takes but we may want to invite Jean Mark to attend one of our sessions here or schedule for an earlier time of the day we're after Jean Mark's end of day right now. So it might be good if we we invited him next week and schedule ourselves a few hours early and we could do this same conversation with him doing a demonstration for us. Okay, so let me put a note mark propose a time for next week. When Sean mark could show us how to show us how it works for him. Then what we could do is we could even have potentially try a tutoring session, Zenab have you or Elizabeth. And we could see, okay, does it work for you as well as it did for him. Mark, should we have an issue we've not been filing issues like we should. I'm very guilty. Should we have an issue to update contributing dot a doc to reference get pod. We know it works. Yes. Yeah, so, so what what I would like before we update the contributing is we would, we would assure that it works and then hopefully have Jean Mark record a video video that shows and this is how you do it. Right. Like that so we wouldn't have to add a lot to contributing. Right. Exactly. Well and, and the other is by doing it as a video we can now. We can now reference that video and note. Okay, it was recorded at this point. This is how get pod behave now two months later, when they change we alter that we record a new video and put it there instead. So, is enough does that. I mean, I don't want to, I don't want to suggest that you not do a setup on Windows you're certainly doing and it should work. Much better because I was already thinking of having to go through all that process I went through because I remember I had a lot of issues, trying to set it up the first time. So, which was why I was even looking if I could get something that will make it much straight forward and easier for me because should be told I'd forgotten a lot of the steps because I didn't document it then. So that's why I was suggesting if there's nothing so I can document it now in case something like this happens again but if there's something nice. I'll be happy to try it. Great well and, and that would if if you'd be willing to share your experiences next week and say hey, I tried it and hear the problems I had that would also be very good for us. Yeah, just to know if you have problems we want to know. So, once we're able to have the session with John Mark, I'll try it after then so if I have any issues, I'll let you know, but also you mentioned something about a certain number of hours or something. I don't know I think quite catch that. Oh, yeah so what that is is, because get pod.io doesn't want to give you everything all for free. They will, they will offer you as an open source contributor some, some number of hours total per month of CPU time that you get to use. And, and what we found. So, if you were to, if you want to see examples of get pod in use. Go to the, let's look at Darren Pope. Oh here I know where we can find it. In the contributing to open source document. Here is this link to tutorials on. Here we go to live stream videos and I'm going to put a link into this to this location into our notes here so that we've got them recorded. Example of other applications of get pod.io in the tutorial. It's contributing to open source. And let me embed one of the video links just to be sure we get it so here's this video. What this is is this is five hours of video. Five that Darren I created do and what happens is Darren uses get pod in this case to do plugin development. Not just not just Jenkins.io development but plugin development. And, and it works quite well. See if I can find the exact link because if I remember right he provided one. Nope, not in this one part two maybe. No, maybe part three, because he and I had that discussion about hey this, this tool makes it easy. I don't see it now. I'll have to I'll have to look for it separately I'm confident that we had a segment. We talked about this is how you do get pod. Oh yes here it is. Get pod discussion for the test and G plugin. So this is, this is actually a video demonstration of using get pod to do plugin development not just Jenkins that IO development. So, forgive my just rambling their Z knob is that is that what you were is does that address your question well enough. So, I think I have a follow up question right the follow up question is. So does that mean that if the ask the free as they give you for the month elapsed you have to pay to be able to continue using kids for that month. I believe so. Yes, and now the way I got. They also have an open source contributor program. So your question was if ours expire. Or if ours are exhausted right if you've used all the hours that are available. What's next. And the answer is apply to be an open source contributor. And then they gave the I think they've given me much many more hours as a result of that. I did that. I don't have the details on where the link is for that but if we get to that point. Let me know because I had a conversation with Darren and with the get pod people about how you do that registration. So I've got it in my notes I just don't have it convenient. So that's my question. Thank you. All right, great. Um, could get pod be used if one just needs a little reference installation of Jenkins to look at quickly. A reference installation of Jenkins, probably not because it's focused on compilation and development. Right. And so it's really not. It's not set up to do. It's not set up to do just start an application. There are plenty of places that will do that. If you want to just do a light Jenkins installation, there are, let's go to the Jenkins docs and we can point to some of the people that offer those for instance. Let's see, no, is this. Nope, here we go. It's down here. Hmm, I have to think about that. What we have is we have a bunch of cloud providers like Oracle and Amazon that provide and Google that provide recommended solutions for their cloud installation. Where is that. That's kind of embarrassing that I don't remember immediately where it is. Oh, I know why that it's because it's on the install page. Here we go. So slow brain. These things deploying Jenkins in public cloud if you need to do a lightweight quick experiment, deploying to a public cloud is a great choice and each of these has their guide for instance so AWS has a whole series of things on. Hey, this is how you do it with AWS. And here's the same for Google cloud. And likewise for IBM cloud here's theirs on. Look, this is how you run a Jenkins on their cloud or Oracle has theirs. And each of them provides really good instructions on. Hey look, here's how you can do a Jenkins installation on our cloud. Okay. For some reason I'm having trouble getting on the little thing going on my computer and it annoys me nice you know maybe I can just sidestep it but I think I should still do it. Yeah, I suspect in in your case, you probably don't want the cost or the hassle of deploying on a public cloud. Right. Yeah. All right, so, so we've sort of handled this one for new contributors, Zenab anything else you need there on new contributors okay if we go on to the next question. No, that's it. Okay. All right so Meg we had review outstanding PRs from previous. Do we have anything new on those or I, let's see if some maybe some of them have actually been merged. This one's been merged. Good. Okay, so we can just take that out. It's merged. Okay. May have merged conflicts with this one. And yes, it does have merge conflicts would you like to resolve those conflicts. Oh, we can yeah I could go look at it I didn't look at it last night. So total conflicts, it's got two conflicts. And if you're feeling bold we could do the conflict resolution live. Okay. Let's see that is from that and what is the old one. So I think this is Daniel's text this is the new text. Shouldn't we just include. Oh, I think I know what this is Meg I'm going to propose the change. I believe other tips and tricks is a new addition. Daniel made a new addition so the reason we're seeing conflict here is just because they're two new addition so I think what we do is we take Daniel's text. Put it right there. And I think this would resolve the conflict. Does that make sense to you. I think so yes. Okay. All right now the next conflict then is. Oh, this is more texts from Daniel and this, I believe should go up here like that. Right. So does that seem sensible to you. So of course one needs to read and think about it but I'll go back and do that but yes I think that. I'm sometimes amazed at what get figures out on its own and then it'll bar find something else that seems simple. Yes, right. So are you okay if I mark this as resolved and push that change. Okay, great. Now it still needs to be reviewed etc but at least the conflict has been resolved. And we should see that as a nice, a relatively clean change when you look at what's changed just a minute. So this is. Yeah so double check that this is saying what you want it to say I think we did the right resolution but just in case we made a mistake. And now you had another question on on this one. I'm going to go to see if it's got conflicts. Oh, this one. This one is a long standing one that that really needs complete revisit right I mean there's. And this one may ultimately end up being closed, because Daniel has recreated most of this content already. This one is is one of the embarrassing ones to address a question that that Zenab had asked earlier. The embarrassment is we've had some submissions that are sitting for a very long time, and haven't been reviewed or have had reviews that have comments that say this needs changes, but we need to take action and either make the changes or close the pull request. And some of them that are marked as on hold that I think probably fall in that category. Right, exactly. Yep. Or at least should have a calm. They got marked on hold but they don't have a comment to explain why you know that these are two beloved contributors and one of them is going to quit if they don't win this argument or right, you know, something you know I mean there's there's no indication or this is on hold because there's a new feature under development that's a different situation so exactly. Yep, you described it well things that are there there is a lot of cleanup that we need to do on the Jenkins.io pull request list right having 35 open documentation pull request is unreasonable. But that's just means we've got a lot of work to do to decide which of these we should keep and which should just be closed. Yeah. Okay. Next topic or sounds good to me. Okay, so we had this question on this one crumbs for anonymous access. Yeah, so this one was the one where Martin want this is suggesting to describe something. And you had suggested hey. It's dangerous and that's I'd suggested this text desperately needs, of course needs to be reviewed by Daniel. So I think this one the best answer may just be, hey, is the should we close this or resolve it. Actually, because something I did not know is, you said there's a way to ping both Martin and Daniel to look at this again. Well, so he's already been requested. Daniel's been asked to review it already so the usual way would then be to to just do exactly what you did here which is put an at reference to them. Okay. So so that's that's pretty much the extent of what you can do if if we want to hoist it to them again. Yes. We just put it in here Daniel Beck, and would the extra text that make his proposed proposed by mag enough to address her concerns. Okay, comment. So there at least we've asked the question. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Good. All right, and then one more. This one was my great launching. Okay, this one is from Cynthia. Oh, and it's got. Okay, it's got wiki references that I don't want to merge. Yes, and I think Oleg's concern on this one is that yeah. Okay, we've, we've got a bunch of conversation here. And I think this one may ultimately end up being closed just because we'd probably do better to put this in another poll request. Okay, I don't think I was the one who flagged this one did somebody else have this to the list. I don't know. Yeah, so this one was here. Maybe it's just a bad hyperlink don't know make good question. Yeah. Yeah, so I think I think on this one, it's time I'm just going to take the initiative here and close it and say that we need to need to rework need to need to rework this in a new poll request, rather than carrying this one. I don't know if it's just to Cynthia but I think it's the simplest approach for us, acknowledging that it's, we need more discussion of how you do agent launch and how that agent launch should be described on the site. And then should we have an issue. How do we keep this from getting forgotten should we have an issue about it that points to the old. Yeah, I think there actually is an issue already. So there's this one, and this one so we've got this migrate thing is what she was working on and this one. See if it does migrate if it already redirects help me it doesn't okay yeah so so both those are reminders that we've got work to be done on this launching thing should we annotate those with the history of what we're doing here so that somebody. Yeah, yeah, and I think it may actually already be there. See here's here's Oleg's observation that look, we've got this kind of documentation already, and we could redirect to those pages, instead of having them on Jenkins.io. And this has been merged, and the redirect would go to a page that looks like this. Let's see if I can find it so this is inbound agent. So it would point to docs in but it would be like this. And for me this is a workable page. Right this this tells describes it and it's done right inside the inside the thing that maintains this Jenkins remote. Okay is now is there are there appropriate links from Jenkins IO someplace. There are none. So that's, that's everything. Right, we would need a link from Jenkins IO to this page and this page needs a link. Instead of going to the wiki this distributed build things it needs to link back to Jenkins.io, which contains much of the same material now. Right. And there's, and there's more about that in that big PR that's sitting out there to. Okay, keep an eye on this one. Okay. All right, any other outstanding PRs Meg that are on your mind or that you'd like to be sure we review. No, I should probably go back and do more reviews of what's out there and maybe, maybe that could be a start for a triage to make a list of those that we need to look at. Okay, speed it up a little bit. Yeah, and this one is somebody else just picked it up and fix the problem that we had marked as a good first issue. So I'm going to approve it and merge it. And now we'll see that a good first issue just got closed. Oh, nope, it didn't and it should have been okay it didn't get it attached. So number. Just a minute I've got to do this bookkeeping while I'm here that way it's it's properly annotated. So it was 4819. Good. Very good. Okay. That's what I was looking for. All right. So we just got benefit from our good first issue exercise. Special thanks to Ravi for doing it. He had just asked a question. How can I help. All right, anything else on on outstanding pull requests. Okay, the next topic is contribute on idea review and so Zina, this is where you are a target for this one we had had a discussion in the Asia time zone session of Docs office hours, proposing some additional candidate ideas. And go ahead Zina. No, nothing. Okay, so here were the here were the ideas that we had and I'll, we'll do more of this discussion after I get this posted in the community dot Jenkins.io inclusive naming you would you and I had discussed that one earlier and we thought yes the replacement of master was with with a controller and slave with agent and blacklist with approve and etc was all good so that you were great with this one. We did last year and it wasn't as successful as as we would have liked, but we could consider it again then this other one if you've got people who want to do Java, and are interested in automated testing. There are some projects that need conversion from an older J unit format to the newer J unit format. And now last year, if I remember correctly, most of the candidates had Java script experience and weren't terribly interested in Java. Is that likely again this year. Yeah, because you know most of people starting out in tech usually start out with web development, Java script and things like that. So, most of the time we usually have more people with JavaScript skills but that's not to say that wants to get people that have Java skills and things like that so. So, Mark, what do we have for JavaScript develop for JavaScript testing. So, for, we don't have, well, all of the JavaScript tests that we have would actually be written in Java and use a web browser to exercise it so that would make them a particularly poor fit for for students just starting in JavaScript because it's even worse to write an automated test, then it is to write in of JavaScript and it is to write J unit based tests, right. So if, if there are some Java interested, we can certainly we could certainly consider that but JavaScript is is not this thing and the, the things that we've got in Jenkins related to JavaScript are probably not well suited to first time developers. We've had some. Okay. So, remember, there's a form for project ideas so that form actually request for all this information so that when we are assigning someone to the project will use those requirements so it request for the skills that are required to work on the project and also the skill level. Whether it's beginner intermediate, whatever. So once we have all this information that's what we used to assign suitable contributors to the project. Good. All right, so, so that we we ought to include. That's a that's a good point we ought to assure that we can answer the project idea questions in our proposals. Yeah. Good. All right. Now, another topic was fix multiple tutorials in particular, the getting started tutorial has some significant gaps. One of my worries about this one is most of the time creating an effective tutorial needs more skills than a first time. A first time person has right they can tell us what's wrong, but they can't tell us how to make it right. So we could we could consider instead, maybe test multiple tutorials and report problems. That's better for a person that's good for a first time user, but it's not a development project. It's a testing project. Yeah. And I assume that you're that the she code Africa contribute on candidates want programming projects more than testing projects. We want all all areas all kind of projects we're not limiting it to development. If we could even get projects that have to do with design or even community management we are open to different because we have contributors from different areas. Last year we had to drop a lot of them because we didn't have projects that suit their skills. Yeah, so design community management outreach program if you're looking for someone that could work with probably the outreach team on programs and things like that, we are open to all those kind of projects also. Okay, all right well so let me hang on let me make a note of this so community management. The design design. Yeah. Okay, so so that that could be a fun one because for instance. Well, I've got to show you this on Jenkins.io as part of Hacktoberfest in the artwork collection we receive new submissions and this is very much very much something that someone who has visual skills is a great help for I got to show you this one because it is so cool. Duchess where there it is. Here is Duchess France and their contribution. Isn't that awesome. And it's just, oh that's cool what a great what a great picture. And, and that kind of thing is quite valuable to the Jenkins project because people love the logos. And if we had a if we had a Jenkins Africa, or something like that from somebody with design skills with art skills. That would be a lot of fun but again I don't know that that's a month long project but doing, doing art like that. Is that feasible do you get any applicants for those kinds of things. Yeah, we get applicants design us. Yes, we do. However, diversity issue. Okay, go ahead. See now. No, no problem. So yeah we do get designers and but the, how would I put it, we need to get or rather have a project that will last them a month as you mentioned something that will keep them busy for at least a month. Mark you mentioned, are they what sort of design are they interested in like user interface design. Because Mark you mentioned that in March we're getting major changes to the user interface. Are there any possible projects related. Would there be leftover work do you know. I, there might be, but the challenge there is that the people who are doing that work right now are not are seem highly unlikely to say who I'm going to take somebody on who's fresh, who's had no experience. They're, they're very advanced expert people who are doing very, very fast evolution of of the UI and and saying oh I'm going to tutor somebody who's brand new will slow them down and ultimately slow them down so badly they'd probably say no I'm not going to do any more tutoring. So, I don't see a lot of. If the person is not a beginner how about if the person is an experienced designer also. And who is just looking to contribute to open source. And even, even then I would hesitate to put attempt to put them on this because some of our most experienced people on the Jenkins project have already realized hey these two people that are advancing the UI are way ahead of us. And so, so I don't think that's now, however we might consider web design improvements for the Jenkins.io site. Okay. There are certainly things for page navigation. This is one that that Meg and I have discussed where, if we look at Jenkins.io I'm going to show you an example of of good and then I'm going to show you an example of bad. So here's the example of of good where when I go to this page it opens notice the expanding and contraction of things on the list. Right hey that's that's pretty reasonable navigation I, I get to see this. It tells me where I am if I click one of these pages it highlights that page. Okay that's good. Now I'm going to show you the bad. So here's the bad in the developer section. When I go here. All right, I pick something like this, I get no hint anywhere over here all there it is but if I pick this, no expanding no contracting. It's the same page, or it's the same site. And yet, I have a terrible experience of a less positive experience here in this section than I did in the other section. So this is a place where we would need somebody but this is a development experience that we need someone with development experience but they would need to be willing to work in the framework that is used to create this site. Okay. So, so that's that's certainly and there's probably a month or more of work there. It sounds like a good project idea. So then again, it's just be a question of just highlighting the project's requirements properly so that we could get so at the end of the day. So my advice having more projects ideas is that it's not compulsory, or it doesn't guarantee that we're going to get people, but then again if we have the project ideas out there, and get people that qualify, we can assign them. Then if we don't, then that means we just don't work on those ideas. So that's it. Okay, yeah, so so we can we can bring those proposals and then you use them as part of your recruiting to try to find people who are interested in participating. Yeah. Good. All right. So let me make a note here. Oops, not there. It's this document. Yes, go ahead. You are saying of you are saying something about designers then. Yeah, do you mean just web designers or you also mean a product designers as well, like a UX or just web designers. No, I think this is something that. Okay. You are UX also web designers. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, so as I mentioned earlier, what we're trying to do with this program is to capture all the fields possible. So, but then again, we are limited. We are limited by the project ideas that we are able to get. So if we don't get project ideas around product management or project management, it's not possible. It means that we cannot. But what we want is to be able to cover all these areas as much as possible exactly both. Yeah, so that's it. So, Elizabeth, I'm, I'm, I'm having difficulty understanding how you would envision product management or project management being involved in, in a relatively short term thing like she code Africa. I rely on my product managers to know deeply all sorts of things about the product and how it behaves and, and I can't imagine getting one of them started in the month that we have for she code Africa contribute on help me understand better what you were envisioning there. Okay, no, I'm doing it. Do you know why I brought up was because it was when they know said that we could actually try out other things and she mentioned community management and design so that was why I just thought about it and I'm like, it's going to be bad if product management to this part of it is a part of it. Well, I, I totally get what you just said now am about it. And I think it makes a lot of sense. Thank you. Okay, got it understood. All right. Well, we have almost reached our time are there any other things in the last one or two minutes before we close. No, that's just for me. So, Zenab, I'll see if I can get time schedule with Jean Mark and I'll propose an alternate time for this meeting for next week. Actually, while you're all here. If Meg I know this will be too early for you so I'm just asking Zenab and Elizabeth. If we move this meeting to or three hours earlier, would it be okay for the two of you or is that too early in your day and that's not workable. Just for next week, just a one time thing so that Jean Mark could join us for next trigger. Next week Thursday. No, next week Thursday to be convenient for me because I have an appointment. Okay. And I'm not sure if I'll be done. How long it will take and all that. So, if it's two hours early and then I'm not sure I'm going to be able to meet it. Okay, so what I'm going to do is, Mark will send a doodle poll to Elizabeth, Zenab, and Jean Mark to find a time. And we'll just record it. Exactly. So that's one thing I wanted to say that if at the end of you were able to get this thing and I'm not able to attend I'll just watch the recording. Well, and, and I think it'd be good if you were there to ask your questions. But if you're not available we have the option to record it. Yeah, we will record it no matter what but it's better to have an audience that can ask questions and hey what about this and what about that. Okay, so I'll send a poll and then we'll, we'll plan to record that session and do it as a question and answer session up to an hour. All right. Okay. Anything else before we close. Nothing from me. Okay thanks everybody. Thanks. All right. See you next week.


Keep it clean. I ain't feel like waiting till tomorrow to talk about my post game thought So we doing it right here right now plus I think tomorrow may be a little busy But we'll get there when we get there anyway the Ravens they defeated those Cleveland Browns in the game today now It was expected that the Ravens were gonna face the Sean Watson last-minute decision They were like no the Sean Watson ain't playing and the Ravens faced a rookie rookie fifth-round pick DTR and this had made a lot of us Ravens fans a little more nervous than actually going against the Sean Watson I think a lot of it had to do with the game last week against guard dementia because it's like man And I had even tweeted it out and say Ravens don't make the same mistake twice losing to a backup quarterback But he was not just a backup quarterback. He was a backup rookie quarterback and oh boy.  They forced a couple of interceptions He actually what they caught three interceptions the Brandon Stevens called the tip-drill shout out to Arthur Millet Arthur Millet was having himself a game today a game Because the past it was a passing to I forgot who it was intended for DTR through it It's a little behind Arthur Millet reach back and pop knocked it up Brandon Stevens said They came right to him Interception and then he was like hold up once he caught the ball and he realized he caught He said hold up. I used to play running back I know what to do. What made the spin move in and took it back and what it was a beautiful Interception return beautiful play and then there was one that Geno stone caught Geno stone almost had another one earlier, too But because he was at the right place right time It was one of those kind of picks but he caught that pick and took it back for a little chunk It was a better return than what he got against the bingles They were good up in the big but anyway and then to clothe I was so happy for man to close out the game super duper Kyle. Hammy Got the pick at the very end I know a lot of us would have been upset if the Ravens would have gave up a touchdown on that last play because they've been like really Man, they really gave up a touchdown, but they didn't know so happy man. I was so happy defense They get all of three points this defense Missing starter after starter after starter after starter after starter this season this defense has been amazing They have continued to be Amazing and this is without a pass rush Well without a consistent pass right come my boy who I predicted this game He was gonna get two sex and at least one force fumble and he had it He had a Jadavian clown. He's still my guy. That's still my guy But he like he be winning like every time you go against an offensive tackle or even if they put him on the inside He wins. He don't do nothing but win But then when it when it's time to get to the quarterback He just I don't know what be happening there I don't know what goes on when when he gets to the quarterback because he just misses That's when he just everything just goes out the window and he keeps on missing I don't know what it is. They got to fix it though because Jadavian Clowney like somebody in the in our live stream They said man, Jadavian Clowney, he could have got his incentives by now because he could have But he keep missing all these sex, but it's all good man He'll start closing real real soon He just got to give a little more in the groove with things Calvin Roy who just got signed this week He almost forced an interception because it was on the past that DTR threw Calvin Roy jumped up and swatted it and Patrick Queen almost All those I had to pick and speak to Patrick Queen. What a beautiful segue to Patrick Queen getting that nasty sack Patrick Queen just been flying all over the field and we talked about it during the stream Patrick Queen price It just keeps going up. So whether it's gonna be with the Baltimore Ravens It's gonna be with somebody else Patrick Queen price keeps going up Somebody whose price is very high already and he got paid Roquan Smith He was all over the field everywhere literally literally everywhere on that field today making big hits Hey, he said it and he backed it up now again. They didn't go against the Sean Watson, but still they they can only play Who's in front of them and Ravens defense took care of business But Roquan Smith was all over that field all over that field. Look just looking at the actual numbers for the Browns DTR he went 19 for 36 I have through for 121 yards three Interceptions got sacked four times. Oh another one of those sacks was by Matt a BK They were getting pressure on them a lot, but a whole lot they were getting pressure on us So that was that was a good thing.  He had six catches for 46 yards, but that was really it man The next highest guy two catches for 20 yards Jerome Ford running back five catches for 19 yards Amar and Cooper were one of the really good receiver one catch for 16 yards So again those numbers probably would have been a little bit different had the Sean Watson actually played But again, you can only play who's in front of you and Ravens They handled business and they've been handling business on defensive side of the ball very well This season thus far special teams Much better special teams then the past couple of weeks because again a couple weeks ago They gave him the pump return to for a touchdown against the bingles Last week they gave up a couple nice returns to the coast but this week. There was a lot of nothing DuVernay, he tried a couple times to get some point return. They really get too much nothing Jordan stout We got to call him a Jordan from now on Jordan stout And he set the Ravens up nice because he got a couple of punts that were within the Browns 10 yard line So shout out to Jordan stout continue to do your thing continue to elevate and just get even better Remember guys, it's only a second year. It's only a second year But now to the offense because the offense boy This was what a lot of people a lot of us were scared for because we're going against this Browns defense is brown I think what one day the number one defense I believe but they have been breaking all these records holding all these teams of three points and whatnot But now the tables have been flipped They've been reversed because the Ravens held them to three points now The Browns defense did show why the Browns defense is the Browns defense that pass rush because they had got Lamar couple times He got sacked for three times for 21 yards miles Garrett now.  We caught you this week this week We caught you but now miles Garrett is still an amazing player to do there's a beast He was dog and Patrick McCurry the Morgan Moses. He ended up getting hurt. He left for the game Hopefully it's nothing long-term. I know some people thinking it could possibly be a torn peck We'll see hopefully they're all wrong then Daniel Phylai came in he was getting dogged a bit too and Just that that Browns defense aligned they are serious Ravens they had to use a screen game sometimes because the pressure just would come in so much They were in the backfield a lot even when they didn't sack Lamar They were all over Lamar and it was just a lot for the Ravens to handle But it's crazy when on the place on some place where miles Garrett actually looked like a normal person Hit the Ravens executed well and they made big plays happen out of and I was like Oh, yeah, this is nice But we didn't see too much of miles get looking like a normal person because he is not a normal person the man is amazing But the Ravens Lamar Jackson early on this game. He said hold up I'm about to do a repeater last week But I'm gonna add a little extra to it because he got his two Russian touchdowns Early on in this game, but then Mark Andrews that first touchdown of Mark Andrews. Oh Lamar Jack That's that trust that's that big trust they got with each other Mark and he threw it into it was two and a half Browns over there Because one of them was was kind of over there But he kind of wasn't so but it was two guys that was over there Lamar put it up for him Mark Andrews came down with it for the touchdown then on the second touchdown of Mark Andrews Well, Mark Andrews is kind of jealous of say he like man's they've been getting all this shine He've been getting all this he actually been making all these people miss watch this Let me do the same thing and Lamar threw it to him Mark Andrews made a couple people miss ran it in there for a touchdown It's a beautiful thing now Lamar had almost thrown another touchdown earlier But nearly it was a perfect pass perfect catch by Nellie But just we just missed one foot just one foot But it was nice to see again the diversifying of Lamar Jackson as a quarterback in them Just really bringing out so much more in Lamar Jackson because they had him that that will route to Melvin Gordon that was a thing that I Don't remember us seeing that At all if at all and if we did I don't remember the last time we saw it The the again the pass to Nelson Aguilore that was a beautiful one Just a lot man He's just throwing that ball all over then say flowers that pass with Lamar was rolling He rolled out and he was looking looking looking his a flowers Hey, I'm open down here Lamar threw it to him and they flowers called He tried to cut back but he was out of bounds already and if he would have cut back there would have been a touchdown But yeah, man, it's a beautiful thing to see now Hopefully next seat next week we get Rashad Bateman back in Odell Beckham junior back But we'll see Odell Beckham junior was running on the field before the game So they say he was looking good, but again, hopefully next week against the Steelers He can get it done now. I know a lot of Ravens fans were Very upset with the plate calling They were upset with the plate calling when the Ravens when it was a close game And they were upset with the plate calling when it was an 18-point game when the score was 21 3 He was saying all they conservative the conservative the conservative but I was thinking at the same time like look like they were in firm control of DTR a Browns quarterback. They were in firm control like they like They control the game literally from start to finish. They didn't have any fears. There was a couple times here And they was like, oh, but no, they fixed everything like Mike McDonald. They ran this game The defense ran this game for sure So I think with the Baltimore Ravens why I understand like people do don't want the Ravens to be conservative Because it gives a lot of flashbacks and I get that but in this game the way that the defense controlled it Like they were sad. They were straight the offense was straight They were like, oh, we ain't got to worry about none. So they didn't really have to do too much of anything So I'm not mad with the plate calling the what now. I know there was some times was like, what was that? But since they had so much control, they had to pull out everything They had to show everything they had to show their whole hand and whatnot because they remained in control throughout the entire game Lamar Jackson now Something that he didn't control with a couple of them fumbles. Oh, man when the Ravens clean up the fumble Oh, they're gonna be unstoppable when they clean up the fumbles and they get healthy, too But they're gonna be unstoppable because when they don't fumble the ball, they make great stuff happen But they got to fix the fumble though Lamar first fumble I couldn't put that on him because Patrick McCarty just got beat from jump literally from jump for the beginning of the play Miles Garrett said Pat McCarty move out the way and he went straight to Lamar Jackson The Lamar had no time to do anything but the other fumble where Lamar Jackson was Handing it off to Justice Hill Lamar Jackson. He let it go way too early Instead of putting it in Justice Hill's chest or his stomach He dropped the ball before it even got to Justice Hill then Justice Hill was like whoa Whoa, what's going on and that ended up being a fumble. So Got to clean it up. So that's still an issue. So while this the score is pretty 28-3, but the game is still it still has some stuff where they still got to clean up now again With the Ravens in the office. I'm also a we can't pick too early They definitely ain't pick yet because the office 28 points beautiful to Russian touchdowns to passing touchdowns beautiful lovely loved it But that ain't no peak offense out there right now It ain't no peak offense and monkey didn't tell us he told us in I think early in August. He said hey, we're good yet And yeah, we they getting there, but it's it's definitely a work in progress But yeah, this was a good game from Ravens good complete game for the Ravens all three phases did their thing And for them to be able to win 28-3 and still have some stuff to clean up still have some stuff that they need to work on Still have some issues that they need to fix again That's a beautiful thing. It's beautiful when you can have issues But you can still take care of business despite whatever issues it is that you have So shout out to the Baltimore Ravens next week got the Pittsburgh Steelers another away game Against an AFC North opponent now with the Bengals they lost to the Titans today 27-3 great with the Steelers They lost to the Texans today. I don't remember what the score was but it's great So Ravens right is just four games with the Ravens are atop the AFC North right now So next week, we'll see if they go against Kenny Pickett or not They he did leave the game and he didn't come back. So hopefully it ain't unserious with him Hopefully ain't no serious injury anything like that, but the Ravens injury wise this game I think that's another reason why they might not have been so aggressive toward the end too much because they're like We look we've got control of this game. We don't need to do anything crazy We got firm control of this thing. They had already lost Morgan Moses for the game I'm I feel like they lost somebody else too. I can't remember them off the top of my head The world maybe they did oh awesome. Let they lost him a little later on in the game But yeah, they came out this game relatively healthy We'll get the injury updates on Morgan Moses probably later on today or tomorrow And then some injury news on some other guys that Raven should be getting back probably tomorrow So I will see you then I love y'all appreciate y'all so much y'all are so great Make sure you subscribe to the channel So you don't miss anything because I want y'all to see every single video that we drop because I love y'all we out


Hey stampers welcome to another week of Watch It Weekly Wednesday I'm Beth part of the Stamping Jill creative team and I have a home decor idea to share with you today We recently got a sneak peek at the catalogs that are coming January 4th And we are obsessed with them They are so much fun full of new bright fun spring ideas that we can't wait to share with you This was an idea that I came up with using some of our new Celebration paper. It's called the sunshine and rainbows celebration paper It comes in a little six by six stack just like this. The colors are bright and fun It's got these cute little trendy rainbows that you probably see on Home decor and fashion just kind of everywhere and it's got these fun bright colors. I Just love this paper and the great part is we have a stamp set and die set that coordinate with this paper in our mini catalog So you'll have to check that out and get this paper during the promotion, which goes January and February. I Wanted to take this paper though and make something bright and fun for my niece's bedroom They've redone their bedroom with these exact rainbows recently and when I saw this paper I thought they need a wreath for their room I found a wreath idea on Pinterest that I could easily recreate using our Stampin' Up products and I came up with this an Easy little wreath that can be put on the wall Using just designer series paper and some cute little accessories right in the middle there And I wanted to show you how to do this one. I started with a template We'll have this template for you in the video description for you to download if you want to recreate this exactly as I've made it You'll print two of this and flip it once you cut them out You'll flip it over and you'll tape them together to get this circle It measures just under 12 inches. I have a 12 by 12 piece of cardstock that I have traced this onto and Then you'll go ahead and cut that out and the middle out and that will give you your template now I liked mine to be a little more sturdy so that it would hang and I took just the backing of one of our designer series papers and I that's what I used as a little bit of a Anchor for my wreath. So I cut both of these out and glued them together and that's what will make the base of your wreath So you'll have one that looks like this Now to have your spaces even on your wreath I drew I took a ruler and I drew lines like a pizza I drew a line here and here and then I cut that Into quarters and that gives you eight sections These don't have to be perfect But I like to do that just to realize where I'm at on my wreath If you wanted to do all of one color if you wanted to do different sections This would just give you kind of a bearing as when you're going So I have my little strips that I've cut These strips are cut to three quarters of an inch by four inches and I've just chosen An array of papers from the sunshine and rainbows designer series paper I've also added in This beautiful edition from the mini catalog called the supple shimmer paper It's in this kind of icy blue color and this deep pink color I thought these worked perfectly with this designer series paper So I have a few of each of these little strips. You'll need these and you'll need some glue dots To do this project. You'll need a lot of glue dots probably about a full box for each wreath that you do So to start your wreath, you're going to take one of your strips and you'll add a glue dot To the inside of your strip and then you're going to just fold it into a little circle Kind of puff it out so that it's not smushed And then you'll add another glue dot on the end and you'll start to adhere Onto your wreath. I like to start at a line and build my wreath Now if you're using a paper that's directional you want to make sure that your Image is facing the correct direction So some papers you won't have to worry about that Others you'll want to pay attention to where the stripes are going Because it can be really cute if you alternate your stripes or kind of put them in different directions So you'll go ahead and the great thing about this designer series paper is both sides Coordinate so even if people can see on the inside It's gonna look really cute So you're gonna do a row of three Just like that and then you'll add on a row of two So that the papers lay really well together. I Chose from these designer series papers some brighter colors Because that's what I favored you could do this with so many different of our designer series papers packs And they would be just so so cute So that's how you're gonna start you're gonna do rows of three Followed by rows of two and then again a row of three for each section. You need about 20 strips So you can keep that in mind if you wanted to do all of the strips in one section the same You could do that it I've done it before with other projects. It looks really really cute You can see some of those projects on our blog We'll have pictures there for you to see of each of those wreaths that we've made So let me pull back in the final project so you can see what it looks like There it is with all of its little curls on it So cute We added this little hanger that says you make me happy with some ribbon and a cute bow And I just varied all of the different pattern papers throughout this one I thought it looked so cute and bright and fun. I love the way it turned out I hope you'll try this idea with some designer series paper that you have on hand And if you love this designer series paper as much as I do don't forget to grab some before celebrations over in February Please let us know if you have any questions on this project We'd love to help you and thank you so much for watching. We'll see you next week on another watch of weekly Wednesday


So, I did a thing. I got some new planners. I'm gonna post this on Financial Friday. Reason being is because I have had like, zero time to devote to Financial Friday lately and I'm really, really sorry to all my financial peeps out there, but I will end up going into house stuff at some point. It's just all my documents are all over the place and I'm currently doing all the renovations and it's just, it's a lot. So, I really want to think about what I wanna say and make sure that everything is gonna be good and I just don't wanna rush through it. You know what I mean? So, I figured Financial Friday, we would talk about planners. This is my current planner. It's off camera right now. But these retail at erincondren.com for $55 are the spiral bound planners. And okay, so they start at $55 but I actually have my handy-dandy laptop off camera right now. With all of the upgrades that you can do to your planner, it's $75. So, they can be ranged from $55 to $75 depending on all the different options and stuff. Well, this year, erincondren came out with these hardbound planners and I do get comments a lot saying, gosh, I wish I could afford an erincondren planner. They're just so expensive and all that and I totally understand what you're saying. She came out with a more budget-friendly option for the more simplified planner. So, if you wanna track just like your finances, if you just wanna track like appointments, your kid's schedule, extra activities, like things like that, this is definitely, these would be like more up your alley. I don't feel like you'd be able to do a lot of stickers or washi in here and I'll show you why in just a moment. But I will let you know, this is the small hardbound life planner and it's a horizontal layout. The small ones come in the horizontal only. You can't get the vertical layout and I'll show you the layouts in just a moment. The larger one, this is the large hardbound life planner and it's in the vertical layout. So this one is $30, the smaller one and this one is $35. Very, very, very nice price points, especially for an erincondren product. Just to let you know, there is gonna be an affiliate link down below. If it's your first time ordering anything through erincondren, what that link will provide, you sign up using that link. You'll get a couple different emails from erincondren but one of them will actually be a $10 off coupon code and you can use that towards your first purchase. What happens is you get $10 off of your order and then also when your item ships, I get a $10 referral credit as well, which is how I can bring lots of different planner videos and also use different erincondren stuff and like my plan with me is and things like that and that's a lot of the reason like why I do lots of giveaways and all that kind of stuff. But, so thank you to everybody that has used them but if you're looking for a more budget friendly option, something like this, you can kind of use that with that coupon code if that makes sense. Let's get into each planner. So I am gonna start with the big guy. Whoa. And there are three, or sorry, there's four different colors to choose from. I ended up choosing the linen color. The reason why is because I just liked the interior better honestly. If you go to the website, you'll be able to see all the different layouts and stuff but I just thought that these looked really classy and I like the silver. There's all the different metallics are either a silver, a rose gold or a gold and they just come the way that they come. However, you can personalize these. I believe it's five to $10 more to personalize them if you want to. I did not get these personalized and I will tell you why a little bit later. So anyway, this is an eight by 10. It's 224 pages. It says it like right here. And then when you open it, it's so beautiful. It has the mid-century circles in the colorful and it will be colorful throughout the entire version of this. There is also the spine is a silver metallic as well which is beautiful. And then, I don't know if you can see that very well. Let's see. I don't know if it'll like, oh there it goes. It has a little foiled 2017, 2018. This is the same for both of the planners. I just want to show you the insides and my thoughts and all of that. But again, this is more for like the functional person. So the main page just has the information that this is my life, it's the vertical layout. Right now, they do not offer the hardbound planners in an hourly version. That's what I use for all my plan with me is if you guys actually watch my plan with me videos. They just don't offer it in a hardbound version as of yet. I don't know if they ever will but it's just not an offering. So it just has like little quote page. It has 2017, 2018.  So this one starts July, 2017 and ends December, 2018 and you can't change that. I just like to let you know. So yeah, this is that page and then we start July, 2017. So I was actually looking at this with my mom yesterday because she was like asking me what my Financial Friday video is gonna be about and I was telling her about it and I thought if I were to use something like this that I would actually like sticker and washi probably the months because there's no tabs on these. You can buy a little tabs from Aaron Condren as well or you can make your own tabs or you could figure something out but I think it would be kind of cool to do like washi and stickers for like vacation or work stuff or appointments or like whatever on the monthlies just because I think it would be kind of cool because when you actually close it up on the spine you'd kind of be able to see where the months are. You know what I mean?  But anyway, here is the first page that goes into the actual vertical layout and yeah, I think this is beautiful. This kind of like strings into the mid-century circles.  I do have to say I feel like the paper quality is just slightly different than the new planners. Like it still feels silky and everything but I'm not gonna do a pen test on this because I may or may not be keeping these planners. So I haven't like fully decided what I wanna do on that and I know everybody's gonna ask me to do a giveaway and I'm kind of giveawayed out you guys. It's not a bad thing. It's just, it costs a lot of money to ship out a bunch of stuff and after I did my last big, big giveaway which was all of those little Aaron Cundran hardbound books you guys would be astonished at how much money I paid to get those things shipped. It was multiple hundreds of dollars because they were just so heavy in the postage. So I'm kind of giveawayed out for now but that's okay. They'll still be coming so don't worry but I really wanted to purchase these for review purposes as well as pick the one that I would be most likely to use which would be the linen cover with the silver foil because I just think that looks really nice and classy. But yeah, let's go to like another month so we can see. So here's like August into September.  Oh and another really cool feature is it does have this like little ribbon so it keeps your place. So because it's not like a coil bound like the other ones you don't really have to worry about, you know like a bookmark or something. You just already have this already sewn in which is kind of a nice feature. Again, this is more for this simplistic planner but let's go all the way to the back. There are a few notes pages. There's not a ton but there are a few. So right after December 2018 there are a few notes pages so there's a few lined and then there's some dot grid and then some blank pages and then I believe that is it. Oh yeah and then it also has for the planner that is looking into the next year. I love that they put this at the very back of the planner. So if you're planning like travel or if you wanna put in like birthdays or things you already know that are coming up of dates to keep clear or dates to just acknowledge it's just nice to have that in the back of your planner and they do that in the coil bound as well. And that is the last page. Ta-da! All right, so that is it for the large Howard bound vertical layout. So let's look at the small horizontal layout. Move this over. Let me zoom you in a little bit more. Doot, doot, doot. It's so tiny. All right, let's zoom her in a little bit more. So the specs on this, this is five by eight. Also 224 pages. The layout is different, but the way that it's constructed is exactly the same. Again, it's the linen with the silver foil. Also has that little thing on the side that says 2017, 2018. Again, you can get this personalized for a fee, but yeah, I just think this is so pretty. Showing the comparison, one from another. The design essentially is almost exactly the same, but obviously they're mid-century circles on. This one here is a lot bigger than this one there. Let's walk into this here. So it's just got your regular personal page that says this is my life, and then you can put your name or whatever you want to on there. Little quotes page. And then these are quite small. So anyone that has trouble with their eyes or something, this is probably not the best planner for you because these are quite small. I would definitely go with the larger planner. And then also the room to write and everything too. Also, this is the monthly layout, and let me show you the monthly over here. I know it's gonna be huge, but just as a comparison, this is a standard size box right here, and then it's about half the size. But I still like it. I'll still reference back to this when we're going through. But yeah, so this is actually a horizontal, and I have actually never ever purchased a horizontal from Erin Condren ever. I think I've had a horizontal planner before like a long, long time ago, like back in the day when I used to buy all my planner stuff at Franklin Covey. I don't know, almost 20 years ago, 15, 20 years ago. I don't know, whenever that was. Actually, I've seen a lot of people that use this for like journaling to like write down things. My brain doesn't work like this. I'm just gonna be completely honest. My brain doesn't work like this. My brain works like this. So my brain works like the other planner. So I wanna see stuff from start to finish. I'm a list maker too, so maybe that's part of it. But some people really enjoy these layouts, so to each their own, but I wanted to see it anyways because I thought it would be kind of a cool thing. Another cool thing on this one is the mid-century circles are kind of faded back here, which is very, very nice. And I don't know, I just like it. And they also have like a little notes section down here because obviously it's seven days and there's eight boxes. And there's a little notes page, which are not notes page, but notes section. So there's like reminders or anything like that. Again, this is for the more functional planner. I will kind of skip through this. This also has the foil. I can't remember if I showed that. This also has the same little sewn-in bookmark, which is very, very nice. Again, with a monthly layout here. So let's just pop all the way to the back. And it has the same amount of pages, so I suspect that it has the same stuff in the back, but let's look together. Yep, it's got the same pages, got the lined, and then should have the dot grid. Yep, and then it should have some blank pages, which I love. And the paper quality is essentially the same as the other one that's off-camera, right over there. Yeah, and then this also has that 2019 at-a-glance layout. Again, for upcoming stuff throughout the next year that you know about. So I don't know, I really like these. I think this is a cool option. Let me zoom you back out. This is a really neat option that Erin Condon and her team came up with because not everybody is a decorative planner that likes to plan with stickers and do all that stuff, and I totally understand. And I've had lots of comments too to say, well, I wanna just have a basic planner. What do you recommend? And this is probably what I would recommend. They're a really nice quality. They do end up denting a little bit, but I think that's gonna be with any hardbound option, I feel like, regardless if it's Erin Condon or not. If you're dealing with a hardbound, you're gonna have little dents and stuff throughout the life of the book.  Also, I love the budget-friendly aspect to these planners. I mean, $30 and $35, you can't go wrong. Again, if you wanna get them personalized, you can, but there is a fee. I believe it's $5 to $10. I can't really remember. Again, if you sign up using that code below, again, if you sign up using that link below and it's your first purchase, you will get $10 off, which makes it even a little bit sweeter too, which is kinda nice. It's for the more functional person, or maybe you just wanna track your spending or your finances. Maybe something like this would be more up your alley. There's different ways to make these planners work for different people. So I think that is gonna be it for me today. If you guys have any questions, feel free to post them below and I will get back to you guys. I will be back next Friday with more financial tips and tricks and I don't know what I'm gonna do next Friday, but you guys will see it next Friday anyways. If you guys liked the video, make sure to give it a thumbs up. Also, make sure to hit the red subscribe button. I'm here every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with new content for you guys at 9 a.m. Central Standard Time. I'm also in the middle of doing Vlun, which is vlogging every day in the month of June. So you can check those out if you would like. And I'm uploading every day as well in the month of June. So, and that doesn't even include my regular content. Like this is a regular content video for me. If you wanna watch those, go ahead. My parents are in town. My brother's gonna be in town soon and it's just a whole lot of weird shenanigans. So if you really wanna know me a little bit better, go watch Vlun. I also just purchased a home too, which I know a lot of my financial people already know that. But it's kinda like you're going on my home journey process with me too, doing remodeling and updates and stuff like that at my new home. So anyway, I'm in a jet. Thank you guys so much for watching. I really, really appreciate it. And I will see you guys in the next video. Bye guys.


Dutch Defense Minister Keisa Ollengren said she hoped Ukrainian pilots would start learning to operate F-16s as soon as possible at a center training pilots to fly the aircraft as it opened in Romania on November 13. The center is using F-16 jets provided by Netherlands with training support from Lockheed Martin and its contractors. Seven Romanian pilots began training at the center on November 13. The United States in August approved sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine from Denmark and the Netherlands to defend against Russia as soon as pilot training was completed. Ukraine has actively sought the US-made F-16 fighter jets to help it counter Russian air superiority. Ollengren said European allies had to keep supporting Ukraine and they could not afford any fatigue regarding the war. Today's the official opening of this European F-16 training center here in Romania. That's a significant step. I'm really proud of how fast we were able to achieve this training center, the opening of the training center and having the actual airframes also in place. Next step is that training will start with Romanian pilots and crews and of course planning ahead also for Ukraine. The Netherlands and Denmark have taken the lead in providing the training to Ukrainian pilots. We have enlarged the coalition with many other countries, also countries doing initial training for pilots so as soon as possible we hope also to welcome here Ukrainian pilots and crews to start the training. I think the F-16 is a very important capability for the Ukrainian air force. It will substantially strengthen their air force and it will also strengthen the air defense of Ukraine. So not as the only capability, it's not going to be a game changer in itself but making the armed forces stronger, making the air force stronger is making Ukraine stronger and it's making it more difficult for Russia. I think it's vital that we continue to provide Ukraine with the help they need, military aid, training, etc. And therefore European funding is also essential. As Europe has done so far I think we have to be prepared to continue this effort. So yes I welcome the proposal that the high representative has done and I would also welcome European decision making on this as soon as possible. I think we cannot afford any fatigue when it comes to Ukraine.  So we really cannot afford fatigue, we must increase our efforts, we must continue our support to Ukraine in every possible way.
