This is our episode one, and my name is Maria Mera. I'm going to be your host. And the reason why we started this show is because we want to know how to stay young and hard, but not only physically, but mentally, financially, emotionally, intellectually. And we're going to have really good guests. My first guest, I couldn't think of anyone better than Russell Ryan. Russell is the CFO of the Highway Inn, and he is married to the CFO. But he's been, this is his second career. He's been working for the aviation industry for over 30 years. So without further delay, please, Russell, thank you very much for joining me today. I'm pleased to be here. It's a gloomy Monday afternoon in Hawaii. It looks like your side of the island is a little better. Yes, it does. Yeah, wonders of technology. I think we're all learning. So Russell, I know your accent is not as thick as mine, but where are you from? Well, I'm actually from England. I've lived in the States now for coming up on 30 years and in Hawaii for about 15. So I originally, originally from England, but prior to that, I lived all over the world in many different countries. So that's exactly what I've been doing. Let's narrow it down. What brought you to the US? Well, in my prior career, as you mentioned, I was in the aviation business. And if you've ever wondered where aircraft come from, how aircraft show up at airlines and where they come from, who buys them, who acquires them, that was my job. I used to actually place airplanes with airlines. That was my job. So that took me all over the world. So if you all remember Aloha Airlines, Aloha Airlines. I know, yes, I know. Yeah, so when Aloha Airlines was going through a trouble in the mid 2000s, I came over as a consultant to help them with their overall fleet plan. But unfortunately, what happened was with some of these new little airlines came in, like Mesa, I think it was, and then Aloha Airlines went bankrupt and we couldn't implement the changes we needed fast enough in order to get Aloha to survive. So I jumped over to Hawaiian Airlines and for about five, six years. So is that why you came to Hawaii to work with Aloha Airlines? Yeah, just as a consultant, just coming over here to help them restructure their aircraft fleet and try to get them to survive. But of course, that didn't happen. Yeah, sometimes I've been in the newspaper industry and sometimes it doesn't matter how much for you put the tendency and the trend of the market is unstoppable. So that was 15 years ago and we know now that you're the CFO of the highway. How did that happen? It was really funny right around the time when Aloha went file chapter seven when they finally went out of business. I started dating this girl who happens to be the great-granddaughter of the founder of Highway Inn. And so I was saying, well, it looks like I'm gonna be going back to the mainland now to go resume my career in the aviation business. And she said, no, no, I didn't call up Hawaiian and TFL employees. Okay, I happened to know Peter Ingram, who is now the CEO of OINLI. I happened to know him from a prior life and he at the time was the CFO. So I called up Peter and said, Peter, what do you have in the way of opening some people like me? And so long story short, I ended up working there for about the next five, six years. Well, so I think we have a picture. Maybe it can help us too. For those of you who are not so familiar with the Highway Inn and you've been living in a cave or inside, let's throw a picture of Monica and Ryan. So because I think many people will recognize her too. Yeah, that there is actually opening day of our new Waipaku location and that opened in December last year. So how is it to work with that? And for some reason I cannot see those pictures, but I've seen them before, so I'll follow you. But how is it to work with your wife and live with it and mostly like that intensity or if I know how the two of you work and you're two of the people that I know are more hardest working and I know. And so how is that? Is it any recommendation for couples who work together? You know, to use a restaurant analogy, you know, you can't have too many cooks in the kitchen and the great thing about our working and personal life is we don't really overlap very much, you know. So we don't have the classic issue of disputing an item on the menu or concerned about a recipe or a business strategy. We're very egalitarian when it comes to the things that she wants and things that I think are good and then we literally just have our own areas of responsibility and then we have sort of informal meetings all day long and you know, we share an office, but we, you know, of course every now and then, you know, you get in each other's hair and... Do you force yourself to, okay, let's have dinner and not talk about business at all?  So I also want to keep this so relevant to the times that we live in and of course we need to talk about the virus and how is this affecting, I mean, the entire world, right? But how is this affecting you as one of the restaurants in Kauai, it has to be really hard. Can you elaborate a little bit on that? Yeah, yeah, in fact, it's essentially what happened in April, everything just stopped essentially and then it popped back up again and essentially it was pretty steady for about the next five or six months. And the revenues neither went up or down and then we had the various openings and closing and we had to obviously beef up our takeout, the state of delivery, we did online servicing, which is a whole online engine and literally the business is a shadow of itself, albeit right now with the Kauai restaurant part and with the resumption of tourists coming in and a couple of other little initiatives we've had in some grants, that's truly helping. Yeah, so what part of your customers are tourists versus locals? Well, in our location in town, it's about roughly a third, a third, a third, a third local, a third business, a third, roughly. Okay. How did Waipahu at the moment, 18, 19% local and 10% business literature? You just opened a new location in Waipahu, right? So it just happened right when you were opening the new location. The timing couldn't have been, it couldn't have been worse. We have one month of good report, we're good data and then after that, everything disappears. Yeah, and it has to be hard. I mean, a very healthy business like yours and for me that I, again, I'm a full disclosure, I work as a financial advisor with Edward Jones, but I see businesses that I used to work with who are really struggling and it's hard to see. I mean, even now that Hawaii is opening, it seems like I think I read today that still 24% of the businesses are closed. So how do you see that progressing? Do you think we're going to close again or are you more optimistic? Well, as long as the customer facing businesses can either, if they're forced to close, they can receive ground so they can stay alive. That's the most important because it makes no sense to cut off the customer facing businesses revenue stream and then still expect them to pay the business. Yeah. Clearly a business can pay operating costs such as, you know, if I buy food, I sell the food, if I have labor, I can pay the labor, but I'm a fraction of my former size. So it's really hard to pay the larger fixed costs that show up every single month. So provided there's money available to allow us to be able to do that, then the future should be okay. It really just depends on the good graces of the landlords and the banks and the insurance companies and the government to provide that, to fill that gap up because when your revenues in half or approximately, businesses just can't survive in the long term. So I'm going to put you on the hot spot here and linking these two directions. Are you hopeful one of the candidates will win and that will help your business and... Good question, yeah. Or, yeah. Well, a lot of businesses, a lot of businesses obviously think about, you know, the taxes and those things. So there's sort of this thing that if you're a business owner, you have to lean one side of the political spectrum, but I'm not a subscriber to that because I think the world is a bigger place than just focusing on myself and what tax breaks I can get next year. So I want to see a healthy environment, a healthy country, a happy country. And I'm looking forward to that in the next video. I want to ask you more just in case. But do you vote in the UK and... No, no. In fact, I've been disenfranchised from voting in the UK because I've been gone longer than 15 years. So they basically kicked me off the voter registration in England, but I do vote here obviously because I am a naturalized citizen here.  Well, they need an airplane for that. And it doesn't happen that John Kerry rents his... Some seem like they are not traveling that much. In the current time, they're traveling like we're traveling right now. So were you in Hawaii when you were helping Kerry's campaign? No, no, I was living in Miami and that's because I had a whole portfolio of businesses in South America that I was visiting regularly at the time. Yeah, there are so many layers on your work and that I'm going to... We have half an hour so I'm just gonna try to be focused. But anyway, don't you saw the video of the highways? So just in case people want to see some food and something happy. Yeah, this is Russell now. This is Russell's new life. Yeah. I'm getting hungry. Can you tell me what that was? That was our most popular dish, which is the Laulau combo plate. And we put that commercial together about a year ago now. It's sort of using that stop motion animation, which was pretty nice. And that's our most popular video on YouTube right now. That is that purple potato. Is that Okinawan potato? Yeah, okinawan sweet potato, yeah. So are you trying to be healthy at the same time that you're Hawaiian? Is that an oxymoron or is that something that you can do at the same time? Of course, yeah. A lot of the Hawaiian food is relatively helpful, especially the Laulau because it has those leaves, the taro and the luau leaves and obviously the potatoes.  Obviously, you know, with the fish on the menu. And again, from a fellow European and I brought my family there and they love it. So I think you can adjust to any palate. So back to Europe. Tell me, how do you see the situation in the UK? And again, we're complaining that that's about the situation in Hawaii, but it seems like Europe is struggling so much, right? It's very hard to watch. Yeah, the England is as many of your reviewers, listeners or viewers watching this will know about they've heard something about Brexit. That's where basically Britain is divorcing themselves from the European Union, which they've been in now for 30 years. I think something along those lines. So they're the first country to ever decide to back out of the European Union. And of course, it's filled with ambiguity. Personally, I don't think it's a smart decision because I think the UK is better off cooperating, working within the institution and working towards the end of creating a common trading block. But of course, a very popular sentiment took over where people were convinced that they didn't have their sovereignty any longer. And no one really knew what that meant. And if you look at what sovereignty means versus what people had, people weren't really voting for the reasons they thought they were voting. They were voting for sort of more populist, right-leaning motives to do with immigration. And again, I have members of my of my direct family who were for the European Union. Do you think that it will go back? Or do you have any hopes that it will go back to UK being a member of the European Union or to people care at this point? I can give it a give it a decade, maybe, and people will be thinking, things aren't quite as good as we thought they were going to be. And Britain's decline from being a world power 100 years ago. This is the final chapter in that. And that they may decide that they have to jump back in in order to get some of the benefits of being associated in a large trading block. Yeah, and it seems like there are so many things going on right now that the Brexit that it was it was doing, break up news all the time. Now it's like one thing that none of us even it puts everything in in in the rare view, right? It's like now we realize health is really all that matters. Yes, yeah, that's right. And I think, you know, the shine is already off for Johnson's ball. Yeah, that's a cricket analogy. And so he's so he's, you know, just as popular as Donald Trump right now. So in terms of his favorability rating, so, you know, that's the unfortunate thing. He needs to he needs to be a little more like Angela Merkel, who's the most popular president in Europe right now, or like or like just into a during in New Zealand. She would be I think everyone would want her. Basically, we need a woman. That wouldn't be a bad thing. OK, we're going to take a little break right now, but we'll be right back with everybody. Thank you for joining us. Thank you, Russell. We'll we'll be right back. Welcome back to staying young at home. We continue talking to our very interesting guest, Russell Ryan. Russell, thank you very much. So we've been we've been covering as much as we can in in half an hour. But I came back before the break to Europe and back to your childhood. How did you stay healthy and how did you stay at the point you were there? You know, it's funny. I was actually born in one of those red dots on the map that Burton used to control.  I grew up in Singapore. And when I was in Singapore, I swam and I love swimming. And by the time I got back to England, I found myself to be a quite advanced swimmer in comparison to my colleagues. So I actually ended up swimming a pretty high level in England when I was there when I lived there. And then right around the age of 12 or 13, I just stopped and didn't really get back into it again until I was back in university. And but all the time, yeah, just swimming, doing races. And when I was in university, I was in the swim team, water polo team. And you just used to run all the time. And it was around about that time. I think I did my first ever triathlon when I was a university, when I was a young lad. So so basically every possible score like a penta, penta lead. So and again, I've witnessed you swimming. As you know, I'm a very a bit swimmer too. And we swam the North Shore series together. That was really right. They got they got canceled this year. But this is a very special swimming Hawaii. And for some reason, it doesn't like it doesn't seem like is that famous or Colbert or what do you think that is? Yes, it's funny. I just I just don't think people that interested.  The only action is when you see people running in and then coming out at the end. That that's really it. But but, you know, for us, we see a tremendous amount of things. You know, we see all the issues and the the dolphins and the other animals and the the reefs down there. And of course, the physical challenge of doing it is a very personal, a very personal thing. So let me ask you, do you do open swimming water or open water swimming when you're by yourself in Hawaii? Yeah, yeah. In fact, I was out this week, but I wasn't really in the open water because I don't I don't want to be out around sharks. That's what I was going. That's what I was going with it. I was swimming on a Moana in the in the park, but it's basically very protected. So I have I've seen turtles, but other than that, even though the water is a little murky, but it's you feel safer, right? Yeah, yeah, it is safe. It is just murky there. But the water has been murky all summer, all along the south shore. I've noticed. And now there's sharks that come on a beach, so I haven't been there. So what what what do you do now? Do you find time to keep swimming or? Yeah, well, I still do.  I still do all the things, you know, run, swim and bike. It's a race mountain bikes used to you keep doing.  Yes, pretty much. Yeah, in fact, you know, in fact, I think I mentioned as a picture of me, I stand over the last race I did. Now it's the last but one race I did.  I think over 80 triathlon or multi sport events in my life to, you know, because they're just so much fun. And then just this weekend I was up bushwhacking up on the bushwhacking up in the mountains here with my dogs hiking. Always always trying to do something which is just outdoors fun and exciting. And yeah, it's a little muddy. No, do they? Was it? Yeah, it definitely makes it fun. So other than than exercise, do you keep a different diet or just to stay healthy? Yes, I tend to. I obviously I try to be palm based as much as possible and fish and a little bit of a little bit of meat. But predominantly, predominantly that. And, you know, the good news is, as you get older, you don't really want to crave candy. Yeah. You know, just a little bit depends on the person. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. What about to stay healthy mentally and intellectually? What do you do to just keep engaging in your brain other than work and work and work? You've got you've got to read, you know, reading is. And there's so many. I mean, Warren Buffett reads a book or we thought whatever it is. You have to read.  And, you know, you're trying to remain trying to remain engaged. The dogs, unfortunately, hiking companions. Yeah, the dogs are on the other side of the door. So they probably want to go for a hike. I don't think that's happened yet. Obviously, reading is is is most important thing. And obviously, engaging with engaging with intelligent people is obviously a good thing. OK, well, I'm glad you're talking to me. So one one more thing. How do you stay healthy emotionally? How do you? Is it like for me? Swimming helps me also emotionally and swimming and exercising is that it's part of like it's not only the physical exercise, but it's almost like therapeutic. Right, that's for sure. Yeah, one of the benefits of exercise, you know, those two exercise know is it really just it really just mellows you out and removes removes a lot of stress and helps crystallize your thinking on a lot of things as well. So so it truly is that truly is a good a good thing. But but generally, you know, variety is is is very important. Always always be looking for, you know, to be interested in new things. I look at new things all the time. But obviously, I don't the certain subjects. I like I'm totally not interested in that within that within that area of things which interest me, obviously, to be to be continually curious and continually trying to understand different things. Yeah, do you try to travel as well? Or is that part of? Yeah, we were in we were in Europe actually this year. We we went to but she went to stay in a castle on the West Wales. Oh, yeah, that was fascinating. We stayed there and then we stayed in a we stayed in a state we home in England as well. We went to do that. Yes, visiting visiting family or your friends and family. Yeah, I was I was actually in Spain in March, visiting my family.  I want to go back on March 10th. Yeah, we are back March 10th, I think. And I was back March 17th. So here we are. If you're going to be locked down, we'll be locked down in Hawaii. Yes, Russell. I want to finish our super fun time together with a few questions that I would like is just quick questions. No wrong or right answer. Yes, your answer is let's do this quick to see how what just follow your follow your guide here. Who do you look up to in life? Who's your hero? Who's my hero in life? Gosh, I really don't have a hero. I really, I really, really don't. I.  I don't want to be on your favorite song. My favorite song. I think it's one by you, too. OK, favorite book. And again, you can just say something that the book talks about or philosophy or but if you have a title. Oh, you know, I've read a really good book recently called Sapien, which is very, very good. I'd recommend that to do anybody audience.  So the what? Sorry, the worst, worst day of your life.   What was that? Or about one. It did I did I ever have one? I'm sure I'm sure I have have one that I can think of. I can think of a few. I feel. I can think of maybe maybe two or three bad things. Let's go with the best day of your life. The best day of my life. Well, the best day of my life. And this is a this is something you don't have control over. And I don't think a lot of people know. But the best day of your life is being born. If you think about the probability of being here. You know, that is the luckiest best day of anybody's life. You know, that's really, that's a really deep. That's a really good question. Russell, I never even thought about it. I was I was answering on my own. How would I answer this question? And I really like your answer. Who's your favorite person to hang out with? Oh, my my wife, my wife. And she's not sitting right here. So what is your favorite meal? It's other than Hawaiian food. Can I take a pass on Hawaiian food? Because I have to say, yeah, I'll give you a pass. I'm partial to I like Indian food. And I'm very I very partial to good Indian food. Yeah, good flavors. Your favorite place? My favorite place. Well, you know, not to not stay too long, but I've lived in I've lived in five countries. I visited over 70 and I never lived in any place more than one year before one or two years before arriving in Hawaii and I've been here 15. So so logically, logically, it must be here. It's by itself. Yeah. What motivates you to work hard? You know, there's always a better way to do something and there's always a better way to do something smarter and better. And there's a lot of people and a lot of responsibilities that, you know, that you accumulate over the years.  And you just cannot imagine that you could suddenly stop doing that because you have to keep building on that base. Yeah, the responsibility. How do you think your friends describe you? Yeah, it's really funny. I could think some people may know me as just a swimmer. Some people may know me as just a work colleague or a boss. So it's it's it's going to be really, really funny. But my but my friends, I think a lot of friends, they've always asked me, they say, are you see I? Are you British? So so what it so what I think they describe me as is somebody who's had a very colorful, very colorful background instead of experiences, which is very different from the norm is what is what I take from that. Yeah. How do you see yourself in 20 years? Twenty years, hopefully above ground and hopefully still exercising. And and the other thing is, is I'm actually I'm not yet, but I'm very soon to become a father for the first time. So in 20 years, I'm going to have a 20 year old kid. I hope I hope that a bigger role model and don't get mistaken as a grandpa too many times. That is that is so I it's so amazing. Congratulations to you and Monica. I've told you before I tell you again. I'm as a as a friend of the family. I can't wait to see that little baby. And OK, so I'm just going to go for it. What is the name for the baby? We don't know yet. We still we don't know the gender. I have an idea if you have again. OK, and as a friend, Russell, you have so many layers. You're one of the smartest people I know. And and I don't say this easily. But it's always a pleasure. It seems like every time I talk to you, I discover something new and we've known each other for years. And I really admire and I really enjoy talking to you. If you want to say a few words before we just say goodbye to our this first episode, please, the floor is yours. Well, you know, there's you know, a lot of ways in life to approach it. You know, you've all got to be optimistic. Like I like I mentioned a while ago, you've got to be so thankful that you're here because the probability of being here in in. You know, basically here on this planet and then here as a human. And then here at this time is is we have some of the most fortunate creatures to ever live in the universe. The fortunate to have lived so enjoy it. And keeping optimistic and that that that's really what it that's really what it's about. It's a great, thoughtful approach tonight. Thank you very much, Russell. I could not have closed better. So to our audience, stay young and hard and please join us on our next episode, November 24th at four p.m. We are looking forward to keep this so going. And if you have any question, please send them to think that why. Thank you very much for joining us today, Russell. And thank you to all of you for for listening.


YouTube tags don't work anymore. They used to be a big thing. People think, oh, put tags in there to get my video discovered, but there's proof. Several YouTubers have provided proof now that it no longer works. Let me first show you what tags are. If you go and uploading your video on YouTube or editing it, if you click on, if you scroll all the way down and just click show more, all right? And this is where tags are. And even YouTube itself says tags can be useful if it's your video content and your video is commonly misspelled, like for example, my name. Otherwise tags play a minimal role in helping viewers find your videos. So YouTube itself is saying that. And anyway, if you want to see the proof of why tags are no longer working really as of a couple of years ago, so don't bother with them. It's just too much work. Look below this video and I will give you a playlist of several videos that I found helpful as proof for why they no longer work. Thanks.


So we absolutely want to make conference playoffs and I think that that's an absolute Goal that we should make We obviously we've got the nemesis of Messiah who year in and year out wins our conference We would love to get into the mix with them and to prove them an upset to be competitive with them and we also would love to have a potential for a Afterseason birth, so whether it was NCAA or ECAC we do want to play postseason So Sarah McVeigh who was a big power item for us in the past in the midfield is going to be most likely moving up to the Forward line and she had a lot of goals her freshman year So she's excited about this opportunity to go back on to the forward line We do have some transfers and some incoming freshmen that are fighting and for starting positions as well as some returning players as well Ashley Myers is a returning senior who year in and year out works hard and she's just She's quick and she reads the game. Well, she's a natural athlete So we anticipate good things from her and Alexis young is also a senior who has work ethic is out of control and a great passer And and we expect to see some wonderful things from her as well So we we're looking at systems right now and I'm having People come in that don't know the team outsiders friends people that I coached at the women's masters world cup Some alumni come and just take a look at these ladies not knowing who they are not having seen them play and giving me some Feedback as to who they think the best players are and and I'm utilizing that and it's it's refreshing and it's good It makes my selection process fair. I I'm hoping that the whole team unit of the of passing powders and ball flow I think last year we had a lot of strong individuals That that stood out individually, but as a team, we weren't cohesive. We didn't pass the ball and and mesh As as a full unit and I and I anticipate this year. I'm looking I'm selecting based off of those players that are good at reading the field and passing and and playing collectively

Spot on. No, no, no gripes for me. Matt Chapman, George Maris, Roger Maris, George Maris, thinking about this redemption right here. Purple parallel redemption, Alec Balm Phillies.

And Eric Osmer, Jersey Card Padres, 25 out of 50. Ellen Jurr, Judge. A dual relic, Craig Bijio, Jose Altuve, 150. Nice card for the Astros.

We still have a long way, a lot of hits to go guys. The 50, Boba Shed, Blue Jays, Clemens. And a tribute triple relic, Mariana Rivera, one of 50 Yankees. Nice. All right, one more 21 tribute. Yeah, especially in a high-end mixture, you want teams like Sox Yankees, Angels, Mariners. Even without Hulia Rodriguez, you want the Mariners in high-end. Josh Donaldson, twins to 99. Griffey Bass, and a Andre Dawson. To 25 Cubs. I forget what these are called. Engraved Greats. Yeah, shout out. Specific name though. Yeah, that's so sick.

Okay, let's do a Five Star. Two 2022 Five Star, two 2025 Star. That'd be cool. Start with the 2022s. All right, so solid hit so far. We're still waiting for our first boom, really.

I've already sealed Dubon Rookie Auto Giants and we got a Reds Barry Larkin Auto, two of 20. Sweet Barry, solid boxes of a five star for sure. Five star signature, Barry Larkin. Definitely one of the best signatures in the game. Hey, I'm Rivera, Griffey.  Triple threads time now, two boxes of 2022 triple threads. Yeah, so that was a good basketball player too. I don't think he's been in the league for a few years but Shane Larkin was a good basketball player. He was the first rounder I think, if I remember correctly. That wasn't too long ago. Wander Base to 199 Johnny Bench for the Reds and to 25 Poo Holes for the Cardinals. Nice parallel. Triple Relic for the Strohs, Stellar Power, Jordan Alvarez to 36.

Those are player worn. And Game War in Jersey. Cavendizio Blue Jays to 18. More triple threads. Supposed to finish by, I hope everyone's having a good night.

Stop based to 199 Aronato for the Cardinals into 259, 20 Gwynn Padres. Yes, Sam does have the drip. We're in different hat every day. Jersey card for the Angels, Shohei Otani to 27, game use.

Oh, no, I know what you mean, the shorts. People will be like, oh, a cavern's not as good as Craig.  It's like, my ear shimsy, crawler shimsy. He's like, no, it's good, it's crawler shimsy.  Can't stand that. People like, actin' like in the Major League Baseball, and playing consistently at that level for years isn't a really big accomplishment. Okay, NT time, I guess.  We'll do NT and then do all the Panini stuff and then you get to the rest of the top stuff, I think. I think that's the way to go here. So we'll start with 2022 NT hobby. I have a first off the line as well. We'll do those back to back here. 2022 NT hobby. Oh, great, look at these Gibronis in chat, Illegal and Shane. Yeah, now it's the holidays, now there's Andrew and Drew. Mike Travis Kelsey calling people with Gibronis out here. Jersey Card, Brewstar Gradriol to 99 Dodgers. He just said the same thing, he just said the same thing. That's funny. That's funny. Jumbo Jersey, Aaron Ashby, Brewers to 99. Pat Ralloch, Hall of Fame Materials, Harry Hooper, nine of 10. Is Hooper a Red Sox or a Brave? Says Boston. I truly don't know. I wasn't alive when he played, guys, so you have to forgive me. Harry Hooper is a Red Sox, Red Sox there. Yes, it does say Boston. Two teams played for Boston though, in Major League Baseball history. Braves and the Red Sox. Jersey Auto for the Tigers, Matt Manning, 17 of 25.  Straight up, Texas. Yeah, that's why I was checking Scott, I truly don't know. Cause you'll see like when the guards are older, so you'll see like New York Giants cards in this. I just got double checked, you know? American autographs, Trevor Bauer Dodgers to 99. Well, look at this Midnight RPA Rockies. Ryan Villay, 3 of 25. Midnight Rockies is pretty fire. Here you go Rockies, you're gonna have to mag this one. Things huge. Crazy patch too. Jersey Auto, Gaylord Perry for the Giants. Recently passed, right? 29 of 49, nice card for the Giants. Pretty good box here, it's a legend. And rookie Jersey Auto book to 99, you won a don for the Nationals. 2022, NC Fodal. It's the first one we've opened to these, I think. Midnight Rockies. Trish Spaker, Harry Hoopa. So like when they play, when there was, you know, like there wasn't a television every household, I don't know guys, you'll have to forgive me. Okay, it's like a first off the line parallel here. Patch card, Luke Appling, one of three. It'd be White Sox Luke Appling, right? Yeah, White Sox, White Sox Luke Appling, patch card to three. That one is Game War, nice. Jersey card, Blue Jays, Boba Shet, 25 and 99. Retro materials, patch card, Collier Stremski, two of 10, Red Sox. First off the line, RPA going to Milwaukee, four of seven, Aaron Ashby. The patches are unreal in NT. There we go, Brewers. These things are crazy. That sand barge in here. Gotta make sure everything's going on in here. Gotta report back to everybody. To report back? Make sure you're doing everything correct. What do you mean? They just turn the stream on.

Let's do the 19 NT now. 19 NT. Maybe we'll pull a Latte or a Tattis or something. Or a Riley maybe. I'm missing someone or an Akram NT from the 19 Latte or Tattis. Yeah, Pete, that's right. Pete might be the best out of them. I don't know. Best hitter maybe, if you only watched last year. Yeah, lucky season. 50 bombs. He's legitimately good now. He was getting hit all over one derby champ. It's like, yeah, well, his OPS was crazy all year last year. He lost a derby. Sacrifice a derby to get better at baseball. Better defensively too. Doesn't say in a whole lot, but he's still better. All right, 19 NT. We got Jersey Justin Berlander to 99 Astros. No, not Riley Greenblake. Talk about Austin Riley. Triple Raleigh, Steve Garvey to 99 Dodgers. Sam's always walking up at crazy times. Rod Carew, Bat Raleigh, Twins to 99. Jersey Card Orioles, Eddie Murray to 99. A lot of Raleigh's in this. So they have a lot more autos in the newer NT than previous years. Hall of Fame signatures, number to 10. Astros, Craig Bijio. That's the same crowd. That's his favorite player right there. Astros doing pretty well in this one. Craig Bijio to 10 on the Hall of Fame signatures. His name is Heine Wagner. That's a made up name. That's not a real person. Crazy card. Jersey Auto, rookie signature names. Jonathan Davis, Blue J, 17 of 99. Pirates, RPA, Kevin Newman. Or just Patch Auto, right? Or is that RPA? Number 79 of 99. That's the RPA, Kevin, not that thing.

All right guys, we're getting down to it. Remember everybody, Sam is live over on drip right now, we're from Personals Tonight, so that's the only place you can get a personal tonight. Tomorrow morning, more baseball breaks on the baseball channel with Matt. I'll be live at 5 p.m. each one more group breaks tomorrow night, and Kenzie is live doing Personals tomorrow on drip.

It's Game Worn Patch though, nice J. Hay. And a Manny Machado, On-Card Auto, five of 10 for the Padres. Shadow Signatures, Manny Machado Padres. He's not with the Dodgers, gotcha. Yeah, I guess they did lose Bellinger and... So you'd see their center, it's either one of their corner infielders, left fielder for them, I don't know. All right, Incase Cards for Flawless. We've got a Frank Thomas, Jumbo Diamond, number to 20. For the White Sox, USA Baseball, Frank Thomas, White Sox. It's the Diamond Guarantee.

Well, plenty of time for the recap though, which is good. It's nice to have it all one recording. Three color patch now for the Giants, Brandon Crawford, 31 of 35. That Relic Auto for the Twins, it's Paul Molotar, 10 of 10. Whereas Brad would call him a Molotar Lizard. Go Twins on the Molotar. Fills, Jumbo, Dirty Jersey Auto, Salvador Perez for 50. Good last name on that guy. Go Salvador Perez for the Royals. Nice Jersey Auto there. Great Duel Auto for Atlanta. Greg Maddox, Tom Glavin, five of 35. Duel on card, Maddox Glavin. These guys are good at pitching. Very awesome. Framed Auto for the A's, Ricky Henderson, one of 30. You're awesome, Ricky. Yeah, Blake is a big fan of pitcher autos. All right guys, again, real quick before we keep going here, one more spot on the football mixture and that's it for tonight. So I'll get your link right now. So maybe you have a chance of getting it if you still want it. And then Sam's Live on Drippin' Persons. That's what we got tonight, y'all. Astros, Ricky Otto, Jake Myers, 38 to 50. I always forget that this guy played for this team. Yankees on the Tim Reigns Auto, 21 to 25. Yankees, Tim Reigns. Or Zotto says, Zim something. 2022 Diamond Icons, 2022. Okay, we're gonna start off with a really nice Jersey card here. Yankees, Mariano Rivera, number five of five with a pinch stripe. Go Yankees. Never seen Diamond Icons. Diamond Icons is year over year, probably like the nicest tops baseball release. We've got a one-of-one cut signature of Rube Marcard for the Giants. Is it Markward or Marcard? Rube Marcard, one-of-one cut auto. That's a pretty old piece right there. That's Jake's PC, actually. Red Sox Bat Relic Auto, Wade Boggs, four of 10. Lord Farquard. I was thinking, I just wasn't gonna say it. Nice Boggsy for the Red Sox four of 10 Bat Relic Auto. This is pretty cool. You've got, is that White Sox Angels? Yeah, White Sox Angels, dual Jersey Auto, Bo Jackson. Bo Jackson, I know he played for the Angels. White Sox, Thomas J, Angel, Scott F, ran him at the end. Mariners, Red Autograph, Edgar Martinez, 18 of 25. Red Ink for the Mariners there. Braves Auto, Dale Murphy, 22 of 25. I saw that, Joseph. He pulled a lower number one last night. Yankees for the Donnie Baseball Auto, seven of 10. Don Mattingly. Got A's Auto, Mark McGuire. Number seven of 10, A's Mark McGuire, Big Mac. It's Markward. Like awkward, but Markward. Interesting. Oh, Rube, A's there. Four of five Orioles, Eddie Murray. Legend Auto for the Orioles now. Lot of legends in this box. Good stuff for the O's there. And then on the back is an Ichiro Auto. Icons of the Diamond, one of five. Beautiful hit for the Mariners. Lord Markward was a good pitcher. Lord Markward, that we're gonna call him now. Okay, here we go, 2020 Icons. Let's see something gigantic here. Something gigantic. This is that, that tough plastic. Gotta go to the gym to get that plastic off. Well, that's a start right there. I forget, and this one, the autos are like on top. Red 205, Yankees Auto, Alex Rodriguez. Rich would love this card. Truly, truly love it. Nice A-Rod to five. Oh, this is actually really nasty. Holy cow, man. Metz, Diamond Auto, Peter Lonzo 305. The Metz did really well. Who had the Metz in this one? Kyle T. Polar Pete, Diamond Auto to five. Reds, Red Ink, Auto to 25, Barry Larkin. 23 to 25 on the Barry. Oh, here we go. Nets with a Juan Soto to 25 on Card Auto. Young Soto right there. It's like Young Sheldon, but with Soto. This is Jake's favorite show, guys, Young Sheldon. Look at that mag too. There's gonna be a lot of mags, I think, Jake. Yeah, yeah. Look at this, look at this. Look at this nasty patch on the Auto. It's Mark Tashara 305, three-color Yankee Patch. Eric R. with the Yanks. Yeah, always gotta love to see the little authentication stamps, you can see what game it's from. Mark Tashara. Oh, here we go. Pirates. Caught Auto, Ralph Kiner one of four. Nice, you go Pittsburgh. Love the frame on this thing too. Cut signature, Ralph Kiner. Ralph Kiner for Lefa, ha ha, see? Gotta be related, right? Both Baseball Royalty, Alvin M. with the Pirates. Nice Kiner, Ralph. This 2020 stuff is crazy. Red Ink Auto of Tom, Glavin 5 at 25. Nice one, Braves, another Glavin for ya. I'm getting booed for my Ralph Kiner for Lefa. Joe, undeserved, I think. That was genius. Jim Tomey on the Auto, one of 10 Guardians. There we go, Jim Tomey. That's Cortes' boy. He had 600 homers, right? That's kinda sneaky. I have to turn off chat, everyone's being so negative right now. Astros Red Auto 305, George Springer. Yo, Stroze. Yeah, Tomey's not in a whole ton of things. He'll be in a few products every year for tops, but he's not in, like you can see each row in Griffey and in quite a few things mostly, but I don't know, certain guys like BGO, you don't see a lot, but you still see here and there. Tomey's one of those guys, too. Bagwell. Nice Springer to five, Astros Auto. Last card of the break, Quad Diamond, five of five, each row. Oh my God. Quad Diamond, each row, Mariners. The Icons boxes were great to the Mariners. John K. Finished both Icons boxes within each row. Astros Up, man. So my Diamond Icons is the best. That's why I see every beat, that's why he's the goat. Okay, we have just two randoms to do and then we'll do a full recap. I mean, I guess, that's one way to do it. Jake likes to take up all of the space he can. He pours me out of food. Boy, it's none of my business. I mean, it kind of is, but it is. It's not my way, so. It's his way, come on out of there. That's what I'm saying, that's why. I need to go get a Bo Jackson Angels jersey now. They have a jersey online, I'm gonna get it. Do they? On that movie shot. That's the only way I knew he was an Angel. And then one day I saw that and I was like, is that Reggie Jackson? No, it's not Reggie Jackson. Yeah, if he told me Jackson Angels, I'm like, yeah, Reggie, it's not another one. I was like, what team does Soto play for in this card? Yeah, sorry, Chris. I mean, there's always a chance with every team, but I'm sorry, man. We do have some randoms to do, guys. Bo Jackson, White Sox Angels, dual jersey auto from Icons. Pretty nice one to 10. White Sox Angels there. And then we had from Flawless, on card to 10, Acunia Soto, Braves Nats on the auto. We'll give out some bad beat for this one. We'll do a $10 bad beat credit if whoever doesn't get the card. Alrighty. Good luck to both. Two and five, seven times. Whoever's up top on both will get the card. Here's the Bo Jackson. One, two, three, four, five, six, and seven. Going to the Angels. And then the Acunia and Soto. One, two, three, four, five, six, and seven. Going to the Braves. So Nationals will give you some bad beat credit on this one. All right, time for a long recap here. These are Relics. Yep. Some hits, huh? Yeah. All the top loaded stuff. There's a bunch of mag stuff too. So we'll start with Relics and then there's some other cards that weren't technically hits, but I put them in there because they're still pretty nice.

Hello, okay So my name is Silva Rappie I work as an IT governance specialist for the municipality of Tirana and Today, I'm going to talk about us using next cloud as a collaboration software For a year now at the municipality a Few words about the municipality of Tirana It is the biggest municipality of Albania Tirana is also the capital of the country The city has a population of over 800,000 citizens we are over 1,500 employees and The offices are located in different parts of the town with the 13 directorates which are divided in smaller units and we have 24 administrative units to which are depended by the municipality So what were the challenges that the ice IT staff was facing before Deciding to implement a collaboration platform such as next cloud One of the issues that I mentioned earlier is the fact that the offices are placed in different locations and the Employees need to interact over the time need to exchange files and Some of them have like very sensitive data on them So we needed a very secure platform who we could trust before deploy the solution and also To facilitate this kind of collaboration between the employees We also need it away for better ways to recover the data since most of the staff was constantly asking the IT staff Well, they would delete files they needed to recover them And this would cost us a lot of time to in order to support all of them And we needed better ways to perform backups so File share and sync solution would solve most of these issues and next cloud would solve all of them This is like one of the main reasons why we deployed it so Why next cloud when you decide to? Invest on a new platform for your IT infrastructure. There are a few Factors or reasons that you take into consideration such as like the cost the updates it take The support you get from the company behind it, etc. Etc So some of the reasons why we decided to proceed with a next cloud was the fact that The next cloud was having continuous updates with a lot of apps being added all all over the time It would offer better features and Of course the special focus on security and the data privacy that It was having Also, one of the main reasons was the fact that Next cloud is a 100% open source platform the municipality during the last year has been following an open source approach in the IT solutions it is making One next cloud is one of them now We are under a migration into LibreOffice and switching from Microsoft Office and also using Thunderbird as an email client just to mention a few and also The list the last but not least is the fact that next cloud has an very active community Behind where we could like report to issues and get updates really fast About the technical implementation the municipality of Tirana has its own data center where we host all of the Platforms and the next cloud server also is being run this way Um So it it was last summer that we went through the migration to next cloud currently we have 1200 users More will be integrated soon through active directory. So these numbers will grow and in a daily basis. We have over 450 users Some of the most apps currently that we are using are rain loop collab round line The next cloud doc, which it's good to hear that it's having a lot of improvements in the future Calendar contact circles and notes But also many other apps are activated, but those are the ones which are like mostly used So the municipality of Tirana has like on average age of over 45 of the employees and Most of them are not like they tend to fear a bit technology are not very familiar. So when we Decided to go and use next cloud as a collaboration platform people tend to fear to fear that and We don't explore most of the features that set her etc So one way we found to solve this problem was to organize different training sessions Where we would explain how easy it was to to use it and how it facilitated their work in a daily basis It went quite well We had a lot of participants during those sessions also people who like were very familiar with the product but were curious to learn more about what could have done with next cloud and Some of the feedback we get was that the platform was very easy to use It was a safe year way to exchange files and documents Since like more than a year ago people would still exchange documents with USB sticks etc So the future plans was we are developing an e-learning platform with Moodle And we hope to integrate that via next cloud We have a special focus and are trying to motivate our users to use a collaborator online And we also plan to use Federation in the future Thank you all


In this video, I will describe the six types of synovial joints based on their movements. So in A here, we see an example of a pivot joint. A pivot joint allows the action of rotation. This is a monoaxial joint, meaning it allows action only through one plane of motion. Specifically, it allows rotation, meaning that we can move around the long axis of the body, rotating to the right or rotating to the left. That's what we see. The example here is the atlantoaxial joint. The atlantoaxial joint is the joint between C1 and C2. The first two cervical vertebrae, atlas and axis, form a pivot joint, the atlantoaxial joint. The atlantoaxial joint enables you to rotate your head at the neck, rotate the atlantoaxial joint. If you are shaking your head to the left and the right, as to indicate no, you are rotating the atlantoaxial joint. Next in B, we can see an example of a hinge joint. What's commonly known as the elbow joint is technically known as the humeral ulnar joint. This is the articulation between the trochlea of the humerus and the trochlear notch of the ulnar. This allows angular motion only in the flexion or extension. It's a monoaxial joint that only allows the angular motion of flexion or extension. All hinge joints enable this flexion and extension. The humeral ulnar joint, commonly known as the elbow, is one example of a hinge joint. Another example of a hinge joint is commonly referred to as the knee. The tibiofemoral joint is also a hinge joint because it only allows that angular motion of flexion and extension. Similarly, the tallochrural joint, commonly referred to as the ankle joint, is a hinge joint. In C, we see an example of a saddle joint. The saddle joint example in the body is a joint between the trapezium and the first metacarpal. The saddle joint is a joint that enables motion through two different planes. It's a biaxial joint. There's a concave surface that fits around a convex surface of another bone and enables both a flexion of this joint as well as abduction of this joint. You can have flexion and extension, abduction and abduction, and a large motion to draw the polyx across to touch the fifth digit known as opposition is enabled by the flexible articulation of the saddle joint. Next, we have a plane joint, a type of joint that only allows a sliding motion, a little bit of gliding between bones. Typically, a plane joint does not allow a large amount of motion, but it's still a type of synovial joint. There's more motion than an amphiorthrosis. The bones do have articulating surfaces that glide along one another, and those articulating surfaces are separated by a fluid-filled synovial cavity. An example that we see here in the illustration is between the tarsal bones, there are the intertarsal joints that allow gliding of adjacent tarsal bones. Similarly, the articulations between adjacent carpal bones, the intercarpal joints are examples of plane joints. The articulation between the clavicle and the scapula, the acromial process of the scapula and the clavicle form, the acromioclavicular joint, another example of a plane joint that allows some gliding motion. Now, E, we see condyloid joint. A condyloid joint is another biaxial joint that enables motion through two planes, and so at the radiocarpal joint we can have the actions of flexion and extension. So the radiocarpal joint is the joint between the radius and the carpal bones, primarily the scaphoid, the lunate, the triquetrum are articulating with the distal end of the radius. And that forms what's commonly known as the wrist joint. So the radiocarpal joint, commonly known as the wrist joint, is a condyloid joint, a joint where we have an oval face in a depression, and that allows movement in two planes, so this will allow you to flex or extend the radiocarpal joint. But also you can abduct and adduct the radiocarpal joint. So another example of a condyloid joint would be the metacarpal phalangeal joints, the articulations between the distal end of our metacarpals and the proximal ends of the proximal phalanges. These joints enable flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction as well. And so then the last category of synovial joints that we see here in the illustration is the ball and socket joint, and a ball and socket joint is a joint that allows movement through three different planes. So the rotation of the shoulder joint, the glenohumeral joint, or the other example, aside from the glenohumeral joint, as we see here in the illustration, what's commonly known as the hip joint, the acetabulofemoral joint or hip joint, is another example of a ball and socket. Both the shoulder and the hip are ball and socket joints. The glenohumeral and acetabulofemoral joints are the only ball and socket joints in the human body. And so the name describes the structure of these joints. The head of the femur has a ball shape, and the head of the humerus has a ball shape, and that fits into a socket shape. The acetabulum is the socket shape for the acetabulofemoral joint, and the glenoid cavity is the socket shape for the glenohumeral joint. So these ball and socket joints enable rotation as well as flexion and extension and abduction and adduction. So a wide range of motions, rotation as well as flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction are possible at a ball and socket joint, like the acetabulofemoral joint, commonly known as the hip joint, or the glenohumeral joint, commonly known as the shoulder joint.


Welcome to my presentation on Jenkins machine learning plugin. I'm so excited to present my work I have done for this GSOC. And also I would like to thank my mentors Bruno, Anis, Maki, and Shivai for great feedbacks and the suggestions. And also thankful for our Jenkins org, that means that who makes this event successful. So let me introduce myself. I'm a GSOC student for machine learning plugin Jenkins for 2020. And I'm doing my major in computer science and engineering. So before we move into this technical aspects of the machine learning plugin, I would like to explain a little bit about what is machine learning operations. So if you take any machine learning operations, continuously analyze and continually training is a very essential part to improve this quality of this machine learning products. So as you see in the diagram, data scientists will analyze the data sets and then they build their model and train their model. And finally they will hand it to the DevOps engineers and they will test and deploy and they will do the rest of production works using the application code. So let me explain about how it's possible, how they are achieving using this, using the plugins of the Jenkins in the ML operations. So if you take one machine learning operations, there must be multiple steps like training, preprocessing, and validation. So there's a lot of intermediate steps out there. So for the clustering tools, you can make it possible to use one of those Docker plugin or a Kubernetes plugin. So there's a lots of clustering tools available in Jenkins. And also if you want to manage your source codes, you have a JIT plugin.  So Jenkins has some advanced plugins like S3 Publishers. You can easily publish your models or data sets to this AWS S3. And if you want to analyze, if you want to submit your analysis and if you want to publish your reports in somewhere, you have some analytic plugins also available in the Jenkins. And the Jupyter notebook is widely used by data scientists to analysis and training models. So in addition, we are giving this Jenkins machine learning plugin to leverage the older plugins to make the ML operations successful. So let me explain what are the features we have implemented during this years of period. So the first one is very data science community friendly configuration about the kernels.  You can just type Jupyter kernel spec list. So it will display all the kernels you have installed in your system. So I will explain a little more when we're doing the demo, how to do that. And let me pass to the next slide. And we have this wrapper included in our plugin that will help for converting your Python or converting your notebooks to the Python or JSON. Or if you want to rename this notebook that you can do with this wrapper, you can plug in. And this is our main feature of this plugin. So we have to give the ML task name which will be helpful if you have any artifacts like images, HTML generated by the notebook. It will be saved under the name. Like for example, it will be saved under the training folder. So it's the purpose of this machine learning task name. And the next one is you have to select one of kernels you have configured in the kernel configuration. So for example, I have selected for this short as a JavaScript. And you can give this code or if you can write the code directly or you can give the notebooks name or a script name in the file cluster. So finally, we have a feature like if you have any images or HTML generated in the Jupyter notebook, it will be saved under workspace. So there's action in the left panel. You can see image and HTML. So you can click it and you can view what are the images generated in the Jupyter notebook. So we will see very detailed in the demo. So yeah, I will call the demo directly. So before we go in demo, I have GitHub repository which contains some CSV data sets and some Python enabled notebooks and R enabled notebooks. So for this demo, I'm going to run this Python enabled notebook and R notebook. So you can see here, this is a R notebook. You can see they have used R codes here. So there's a POR code. So they have using a GTP plot to make the graphs in this notebook. And the other one is the, it's using the Python code directly. You can see that. So for graphing, they are using the math plot library. So yeah. So first we're going to create, we are going to configure our kernels here. So you can go to configure system and then you can find kernel configurations here. So we can just add new kernel here. And I will tell you how to find what are the kernels have been installed in your system. You can just type Jupyter kernel spec list. So these are the list of kernels that I have installed in my system. So I just choosing Python 3 and R. So I just configuring Python 3 language. I just type Python. So the launching time mode, I just setting as default 10 seconds. So it takes time to connect. The launching time mode is how long it would take to connect to this kernel from the Jenkins. And the max results is how many lines can be sent back to these Jenkins from the kernel. So you can here have a test connection button. You can test your kernels from here. So I am adding also a new kernel for IR. Like we have seen that there is IR kernel. So for this R, so I just setting this 100 and I am testing this kernel here. So yeah, we are going to go with this kernel configurations. So we are going to create a simple freestyle job for this demo. So for that, I am going to check out my repository here. And for building these notebooks, this is the essential part of this plugin. You have to give if you want, if it's training, you can just add training. And you can select either one of these. So we are going to run here, Python NMB notebook. So I just selecting my Python notebook, the name. So I just giving the name of the Python notebook because it is already exists. It has, it will be checked out from the GDAP to Jenkins Workspace. So you can directly use the name of this notebook. And also there's, I will add another Builder for IR. So I just and then select this IR. So for the file, I just giving the name of our notebooks. Yeah. So yeah, we are going to go with this job configuration. So we just one step left. I will run that. So here you can see this, this is the checkout console. And you can see there's HTML added to the training folder. And there's lots of images have been added to this training. So if you want to check whether it is added to this workspace, you can just check here. And the generated images and the other products are here. So you can even try to view your HTML generated in the notebook. Yeah. So if you want to publish these results to somewhere, you can use the HTML publisher plugin. You know, you can use, you can leverage the other plugins to make the result viewable in somewhere. Yeah. So yeah. So that's the demo part. I will shifting to this presentation. So this is the link to our GDAP repository. And if you feel any issues about our plugin, I forgot to say that we have released our plugin version 1.0.1. You can directly download from the main update center. So if you, if any of you are using, if you feel any issues, if you feel any errors, you can report it here. We are happy to help you. And if you have any questions, you can ask directly in our GDAP channel dedicated 4G sub machine learning project. And this is my demo repository. You can use it if you have, if you want to try the demo I have shown before. And I will show you, I will show you what are the kernels available in the Jupiter kernel project.  And you have to configure that in your Jenkins and you can directly use that. So that's the best part of this machine learning plugin. And yeah. So for future improvements, we are trying to implement, we will try to implement the issue like at this moment, we have to give this the kernel features and we have to type it manually. So if we implemented this automatically adding a label to the agent based on the kernel features, we don't have to type that we can have a dropdown list or something like that, or we can leverage that thing to easily configure our kernels. So that's the thing we are concerning right now. And and we are also struggling when we are testing this code, testing this plugin because everything is in the back, there's lots of Python work. So we are also expecting to write more tests in the plugin. And in ML operations, we have to, we have to concern about the performance of the plugin because performance is one of the essential thing in the ML operations. So that's the thing we are concerning right now. And yeah. So thank you once again, thank you for joining with with this presentation. And thanks for my mentors. And thanks for Martin to hosting this presentation. Thank you, Logi. Do we have comments or questions? Yeah. Not that they see so far in the chat. So if anyone has any questions, please ask using Zoom Q&A, and we will ask presenters. Meanwhile, while we wait for questions, if mentors or other panelists, so would like to give some comments, please be strong. Oleg, if I may comment, this is Yanis Mujachis. I was one of the mentors. And, you know, we have to work now twice last year and this year and finally we succeeded. And I think he has progress quite well. Logi was a very excellent student and he was able to bring together a lot of technologies that are required for this particular plugin, which is a little bit challenging, but, you know, he rose to the challenge. And I think we have a really nice version one. Oh, now that a lot of us really, you know, as users now are excited and waiting to use. So I am really thankful to the GSOC program for making this a reality. And I think we're moving into a great area with new Jenkins applications. Thanks very much. And I mean, it's fine.  And that was, you know, probably the most, you know, the best, you know, work that we saw was, you know, always making, maintaining that consistency and also coming up with, you know, great solutions for solving all the different kind of issues that we run into with the plugin. And they were also instances, you know, where we did take in some, you know, suggestions from external people as well. And those are also implemented. And probably, you know, like one of the best features at the end was to add multi-language support, you know, not just Python, but also the other kind of, you know, data science languages that people will be using. A lot of them we are using are Julia. So having that, you know, integration as well within this plugin makes it so accessible for all different kind of, you know, data science-related workflows, right? So it was, you know, like a treat to be working with Logi and all the other, you know, mentors as well, both ionists, Marky in the starting and, you know, Bruno.  Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, Shivay. Thanks for your compliments. Thank you. I would just like to echo what everybody else has said and also just say, Logi, you're an amazing person. You not only put together a very futuristic plugin here, but you did it during a pandemic, which is no, you know, no, that's a pretty big deal. So thank you and thank you to all the other mentors. Great. Thanks for all your great comments, everybody. And let's move on.
