I think on our channel we always talk about hype-beast gear so much. Okay, yeah. And people are like, yo, you guys need to get into men's wear, you guys need to grow up. This is the grown-up version of what we should be doing. I love your fashion, bro! Seriously! You're on the cover of many magazines. Hey, man, it's nice to meet you. Yeah, nice to meet you too, officially. Yeah, yeah, keep it up, guys. Meet our friend Leo. He's not a model, he's not born into money, and he's not a designer. So how does an Asian guy make a good living being a fashion influencer? What does that even mean? Is it as easy as it looks? Is it deeper than clothes? And does being Asian have anything to do with it? We walk around New York City with him and he's gonna explain it all. Check this out. Yo, Leo, you are a professional Instagrammer.  I'm not gonna lie, immediately when I walked in, I was like, this kind of looks like MTV Cribs. Yo, let us know how you organize all of this. Yeah, for sure. This is like a walk-in wardrobe area. I got all the suits on one side, the dress shirts. Got some shoes behind me. And then I got a bunch of different kinds of jackets, leather jacket, bomber, denim, all kinds of jackets. But I noticed you have the basketball jerseys right there. Yeah, you know, I got the Kobe, the Lakers jersey up here. You know, I grew up a Lakers fan, so I got to have them. I've been collecting them since I was a younger kid. I noticed here you have some hype pieces. You got really menswear like designer brands. I see a Supreme Monogram sweater right here. We got a Supreme right here. Yeah. I mean, I love... So you got some hype stuff. Yeah, I do. You know, I appreciate all kinds of styles. I grew up with hype beads, like sneaker head, like when I was in high school, so I love the Supremes and the sneakers just as much as I love menswear and tailor pieces. This is definitely one of my favorite top coats here. This is from Ragnbonne. And I just love the colors and the style in this. And I can easily wear this with a Chelsea boot or a pair of sneakers. No problem. But this is definitely one of my favorites here. This is the Supreme Lacoste. Yeah, so from the outside, you know, it's a nice bomber jacket, but you can easily rock this with anything you like. Would you say that this is kind of indicative of your style because obviously that's one of the classier Supreme pieces out, but it's still hype. Right, right, right. So that's what my personal style has really grown over the years. Like going to college, like studying, accounting, and then working in finance. Like I had to dress the part, but I still love basketball. I still love the NBA. I love the culture. So that never really left. It was just kind of like left behind like at home. So you're saying that you never fully 100% bought into the finance quant, like the vest, the Patagonia vest. No, no, no. I hate that. But then does that make the finance world look at you like who is this guy like coming through, wearing the high pieces. He ain't wearing the Patagonia. He's not fitting in. Every time you walked in, they were like, Hey, I think this guy's not going to work here for too long. That's exactly the vibe. They just got this feeling like, I don't know. Obviously it's not just about the clothing. You got accessories. You got some sunglasses right here. Yeah. A lot of sunglasses. Are we at a sunglass store? Sunglass like what's going on? When it comes to men's fashion, it's not just about the one piece. It's all about being well rounded. So for me, like it's all about attention to detail. So anything from accessories to the jacket to the shoes. Some of my favorites are like Purcell, Tom Ford, Ray Bands. How do you keep from like losing your sunglasses? Because you know, that's a pretty common thing where people are just like, don't buy expensive. Okay, so I'm very, very proud to say that I've never lost anything ever. Sunglasses, I've misplaced them. So I've put them in jackets and then like I literally haven't found them for a year.  Okay. But I'm very proud to say I've never lost anything. Can we talk about the gauntlet though? Yo, do the fingers move? All right, let's go check out the rest of the apartment. All right, Leo, we have arrived in the living room. Living room. In the living room. So this is really interesting because you've got the sneakers up like paintings on the wall. Or like they're trophies. Yeah. So for me, like they're like trophies in that way. Like I like to see them out on display growing up. Like I couldn't really afford sneakers. I couldn't really afford Jordans. On this side, I have like my designer shoes. I got the Gucci, the Tom Ford, Tom Browns, Singh Laurents. These are definitely my favorite designers over the years. On this side is the different Jordans over the years. So you've got the Off-White 90s. You've got the Jordan 1s, the classics and a mix of other designer sneakers as well. I noticed that you do not really have any like kind of shoes that aren't classic pieces here. Like the classic retro Jordans, I really want to just keep it the classic colors. I think that's kind of like the... You know, these are the colors that Jordan wore. Yeah, exactly. So I think that's kind of like the old school sneaker hat in me, you know. Hey, got the Balenciaga, the socks. What are these called? The speed runners, I think. Right, right.  I can tell because some of them are dirty.  You're like, yo, if I buy shoes, I'm rocking them.  Of all these clothes, how much would you say has been sponsored and you've gifted to you? Throughout the years, like it's becoming maybe like 50-50. It's brands that I never even thought of I would own, you know, as an immigrant. I didn't think I could afford the Hugo Boss. I didn't think I could afford Brooks Brothers, all right? But now I am working with these brands on social media campaigns or influencer campaigns. I think this video is so cool because I think on our channel, we always talk about like hypes here so much. Okay, yeah. And people are always like, yo, you guys need to get an amends where you guys need to grow up. This is the grown-up version of what we should be doing. How would you describe in a few words your style? I would definitely say it's like a tailor hype. I've gone through all the sneaker head days in my high school years. I still love basketball sneakers. I love the NBA. At the same time, I went to school for accounting. I worked in finance for five years and more instantaneously. So I had to wear the suits, the dress shoes. I still love both worlds and I want to combine both and this has matured to my personal style. This is a real-life Instagrammer at work, guys. Let me try, let me try, let me try. It's not bad, it's not bad. It doesn't feel the same. It doesn't feel the same. All right, Leo and Alicia, you guys are a team behind Levitate Style. What is all the work that goes into running a successful Instagram brand? Yes, well, a lot of people, they just see the photo, right? And they think this is it. For example, like a sponsored post like there is emails and negotiations, contracts, how to shoot the campaign, select the theme, what to wear. The work of taking the photographs, deciding where to do that, what time, what's the deadline. And that's just like the basics of it, you know? What do you think people get wrong about what you guys are doing the most?  So how can I do what you do? Well, yeah, there's so much more behind it.  How do you fit in in a saturated market now? And for me, like since day one of Levitate Style has always been to represent the Asian community because there were not really positive, you know, Asian role models out there in GQ magazines, TV movies. You never really saw the Asian guys, right? For me to put myself out there, I wanted to be able to represent the Asian community in that way. So I know that like my photos, my content serves a bigger purpose than just a photo to something. I wanted to point out that you chose this place very deliberately. And this is like a tip that anybody can take away that's trying to do what you do. But you've basically found an apartment where some of the built-in amenities allow you to do your job easier. We picked this luxury apartment because it's really in a way like investing back in ourselves, like investing in ourselves as a business. So in this apartment, we have a rooftop lounge. So a lot of the times which a lot of the things people don't see behind the scenes is the hours where we spend up here working on emails, working on new brand deals, editing photos, shooting content up here. I mean, like for us, we definitely made a pro-con list, you know, like for the past five years, we lived in a pre-war apartment with no amenities at all. And we were still very happy with that, but just came to the point where it made a lot of sense as a business to have this kind of space. We're here in Chinatown. We just arrived. The first thing though, I just realized is we got to get some bao. Yo, wow, they have an assortment of donuts like Western pastry and Chinese pastry. Bindi bao is the most delicious. The most delicious donut. Okay, I'm going to try this. This is the curry. I'm going to try this. I got the curry beef puff. Let's try this. Mmm. Got the tuna.  Tuna, like, instead of a char siu bao, it's like tuna. Tuna, yeah. Got the hot dog bun. Yo, that curry is spicy. I like that. Wow. Aren't you guys, we have arrived at what I heard, Andrew. Leo, this is the hottest place in Chinatown right now. All right. Ying Ji Chang Fun. We're talking about tailored hype. This is food hype right here. There's a line outside for rice rolls. Oh, my God. We're not kidding. Aren't you guys, on the Cantonese food crawl in Chinatown, we have to move on from Ying Ji Chang Fun. Line, too crazy. Aren't you guys, we have arrived, Tony's rice rolls. Here we have, I would say, some of the most Cantonese food, like, in the world. I mean, this is what I grew up with, like, especially with that sauce there. I remember eating that, like, on the weekends, hanging out with my grandparents. Like, that, that smell of that. All right, let's try it. What was it like coming as an immigrant? What, because you came here when you were 10? Yeah, 10 years old. It was rough at first. Like, I didn't really speak English. I remember, like, learning to read books in my English class, and my mom would help me translate literally, like, every other word in the book. Early on, I felt like I found friends in other immigrants, like, other fobs. You know, we're all Chinese, and we stick together. We help each other. And I remember just moving around a lot, you know, like, because we didn't have a house, so we moved from one apartment to another. So in Queens, I was in, like, Corona and Amherst. I ended up hanging out a lot and flushing, you know? How do you think of being an immigrant and really not being able to speak English that well kind of contributed to your, you know, self-expression and fashion? You know, as an immigrant, as a fob, I just wanted to fit in. And so I think fashion and style comes in very early on. It was a way to kind of show who I am. Like, for me, like, fashion has always been a way to make a statement and say something without even saying a word. All right, you guys, this was dope. We were at Tony's Rice Rolls. Couldn't get in the Yenji, but it's all good. We got to keep this food crawl moving. Yeah. This is just a fruit bowl. I'm just going to throw a fruit bowl down right now. Mango on mango. I thought it was going to be a little bit more cooler, but... This is the triple threat mango. There we go. Oh, man, I need this right now. So good. Yo, you guys, between the churring fun and the tau-foo-fa, we are keeping it. H-K! K-toe. Yes.  What are, like, three things that you've learned? I think my style has evolved over time because of travel. Early on, I really liked J-Crew. J-Crew was one of the few brands that had Asian models. But, like, as I travel more to go to Europe, I notice that, like, they don't really dress like that. They're, you know, they're much more, like, metro-casual, but sharp. You know, you can really wear that outfit anywhere. So I love that style. So over time, as I travel more, my style has changed because of that. Another thing I learned, like, when we're traveling, you know, like, people are not used to seeing an Asian guy and a white girl couple. In Europe, like, we're always getting stared at. You know, like, I always look at things in a more positive way. Like, they're probably not used to seeing Asian guys at all. So every time you travel, you're representing? Oh, for sure. I feel that way, too. Because every time we travel as a group, as a film group, we're always, like, the largest group of Asian guys almost anywhere we go. We might be the only Asians here, guys. I saw two Asian guys, but they were, like, in separate groups, so... And a lot of times, when I go to these events, these fashion events, media events, like, movie premieres, all these kinds of different events, like, a lot of times, I'm the only Asian person, not even an Asian guy, person in the room. You know, I have to be on my best version of myself. People even assume that Alicia, your girlfriend, is the influencer instead of you.   Were you, like, damn, I knew there wasn't going to be a lot of Asian influencers, but I'm the only one out of a room of, like, a hundred people. There are times I was actually surprised. You would think there's more of us out there, you know? Yeah, because there's a lot of Asians involved in the fashion industry, actually. Exactly, yeah. But I would say more so on the back end. You know, there's just a lot of times where I look around and I'm like, I can't believe I'm the only Asian person, but over the years I've learned to accept that and know what that means and know that, like, what I do means so much more than just a photo. And you were saying that for the influencers that are doing what you're doing that don't have that deeper purpose, you see higher rates of burnout, right? I've met influencers personally that have been like, I don't know what I'm doing, like, why am I doing this anymore? I don't know because, like, to me, I've always had that purpose in the beginning. Some of these influencers, they're just like, because they're good looking. Right. You know, they're all Instagram. For me, I've always loved fashion. I love photography. I love traveling. And on top of all of that, I want to represent Asian community. I want to teach guys about fashion. They can imagine themselves traveling, imagine themselves wearing this coat, imagine themselves wearing these shoes, and they can think of a better, bigger future for them, opening their minds. All right, you guys, we have arrived at Gongsik Tong. I believe that means just Hong Kong style. This food is super HK. It smells so good. It might be the most HK food. I've never seen it before. You know why it's HK? It's because it doesn't look like traditional Chinese food, but it is absolutely the Hong Kong interpretation. Here, we have the truffle pasta, chicken wings, not always Asian, but the way they do it is different. It has sweet sauce. I think that's marmalade. And then, of course, you have the two famous Hong Kong snacks. You have the Hong Kong French toast and then the curry fish balls. If we cut this open, you guys are going to be blown away. You've got to cut it open. You're talking crazy. This is a boom cheese. No, that's not cheese. That's a lie. Oh, I'm Dan Wang. Yo, that's the sweet egg yolk. Good. So good. Wow. That is something else. It's shrimp that's deep fried in the salted egg yolk.  On top of fried rice that has salted egg yolk. Leo, we got to talk about the journey from Bob to finance to fashionista.  Like, what's your attitude? No, honestly, like, I didn't really love my job. So it was like easy, you know, it's an easy pay check, but I just didn't love it. I just always had my mind somewhere else, you know? Like, that's why I wanted to start Love and Taste Style and do all these things. Yo, how did you convince your parents and what did they say when you said, yo, I'm quitting my job.  For like a year and a half, I was already like starting to get a lot of press. So I was in like GK Magazine in a year. I was working with brands like Uniquelo. And so like, I was able to show them like proof. They really trust me over the years. Like, I decided to study accounting. I decided to push myself to get these different jobs. So they kind of trust me over the years to make the right decision. So that's a huge learning point, I think for a lot of kids watching, they want to learn from your story. I think we get that question asked to us a lot at colleges. How do I convince my parents? You were saying you want to show them proof. I think this is where side hustle is so important. Like everybody should have a side hustle. Like you shouldn't give up on your passion. You shouldn't give up on things that you love. You should continuously work hard at it. It's not going to be an overnight success.  So what do you think are the most common mistakes that you see? Because I see a lot, like, you know, we kind of talked about it a little bit earlier. But you have a lot of kids message you, want to do what you want to do on Instagram, want to be at the fashion events like you do, want to travel for a living. But it just seems like there's such a big disconnect between the dreams. I think a lot of people just think it's a very easy thing to do. They think it's just a photo. They think it's, like, overnight success. But, like, it took me five years of side hustle from my bank job to get to where I am today. It's about building a relationship with PR companies and, like, networking with so many different people in the industry. A lot of what we were doing with the blog, with learning all of this, is we Googled it ourselves, you know? Like, we wanted to learn about it. So we just, we had that, like, go-to mentality, like that personality, just go for it. You're inspiring people for sure, because, you know, I saw that there was an account called Asian Men's Wear, and you said that it was inspired by somebody who saw you. Yeah, so that was really cool. So it was actually, like, a fan that followed me for a while, and that kind of opened his eye to seeing Asian men's wear.   I don't have any of those things that, like, in my portfolio, like, how can I go do what you're doing? I mean, honestly, the only thing you should ever compare yourself with somebody else is you always push to be the best version of yourself. And so, like, for me, it's always just been, like, whatever I like, whatever I'm most interested in, I wanted to get better and, like, learn more about it. I think the biggest takeaway that I have from our talk today is that it is just a lot deeper than fashion. It's almost just, like, man, you're just showing people that they can just, they can do it, too.  So for another example, my brother, Kai, he saw what I was doing with Levitate Style. I was like, oh, fashion, that's cool. I kind of want to do that, too. But, like, he wasn't into fashion. He didn't know how to pose, so I was just, like, helping him find what he liked. He loves food. He loves fitness. So I got him started on that kind of content, right? And now he's able to turn that also into a full-time career in content creator. You know, one of my major takeaways from this long conversation and this journey that we've been on is, I definitely think, like, it does help having that outside perspective, and in this case, being an immigrant, being a father. You see a lot of confident fobs out there because, like we talked earlier, they already had to try so hard to adapt and make it to one level in America that it's almost like everything after that is just easy. Yo, thank you so much for watching our video with Leo Chan, Levitate Style. Shout out to Alicia as well. Man, where can people find you at? Yeah, find me on Instagram at Levitate Style.

Karris you're kind of wrapping up a segment down there tonight with the end of the seating round 37 points for you Team finishes five and three. How would you kind of sum up these eight games for yourself and the team in terms of expectations? That you guys said and things you want to accomplish I feel like as a team, uh, we got better each and every game And that's what we wanted to do when we came down here. You know, we were a new group And obviously we knew we had a lot to to accomplish in order to you know Keep the seventh spot and get some momentum going into the playoffs. And I think we did that I'm proud of this group for that. But you know, the job's still not done We have a tough series coming up against Toronto and that's what we're looking forward to right now Greg Logan Uh, karris, uh two-part question for me First on the final shot You dribbled out there running down the clock A lot of times I think you might have driven. Why did you choose to step back? That's number one and number two Was there something about the matchup with lila tonight that inspired your play and kind of brought the best out in you? Oh, as far as the shot, you know, I just try to read the defense, you know, I feel like they were playing the drive I gotta watch it again. Um, so these are all shots. I practice each and every day. So I live with that shot As far as the matchup, you know game is right now playing the best basketball in the world, so Obviously, that's a matchup that I'm going to take serious and we took serious going into the game as a team He did what great players do.  He still let his team to a victory So hats off to him. You know, he's a great player, obviously But I love I love those matchups Matt Sullivan karris, you and jv have been close Going back a while but through these kind of long season now that we're here at the end of this this endless regular season There's something he said to you in the beginning of the season as something he said to you now That that reflects how much you two have grown together through all this thick and thin I don't think it's something that he said. I think it's just the everyday conversation we have, you know, the everyday Um, you know, he's still my development coach and he still work out each and every day as if he was You know the assistant coach, so he's still in drills with me. He's still doing my free game You know rituals and things like that So I wouldn't say it's just one thing that he said I feel like Just that every day camaraderie, you know, we trust each other We know what each one brings to the table each and every day Um, we've been getting it done and we look forward to uh the series against the Raptors Nick There's you out you guys obviously knew what was being said about you all coming into the bubble How much pride do you take in being able to come together? A lot of guys not even being on the roster Throughout the season and playing as hard as you have as consistently as you have over the last few weeks That's our job, man. We have a lot of pride in this locker room It's a lot of professionals in this in this locker room, you know, a lot of guys who are overlooked And we take it personal, you know, we hear all the noise that people are saying You know, we were supposed to go 0 and 8 or whatever it was what it said And so, uh, we come to work each and every day we take pride in what we do and we go out there When in place, um, you know, obviously we wanted to get that one tonight. My hands off the floor and it's like

Hello and welcome you all for today's class. Last time we were looking at the Shapiro reaction and some allyl allylation of various kinds of aldehydes or carbonyl compounds using different allyl metal reagents. In the Shapiro reaction what we did was to make use of the vinyl lithium for example of this kind and then we converted into vinyl silane and then as we saw that we can convert this into the epoxide and eventually convert into a carbonyl group and the carbonyl group was actually started in the substrate to be in this particular position and now we have moved into this position and that is what we called as 1 to ketone transposition. So after that we looked at how allylsilanes, allyltyltin, allylboranes and allylboronates of this type of substrates and of course we also saw how crotile substrates can be equilibrated in youth depending on which metal salt is used. And then towards N we look that these allylboronates how do they react with a benzenelehyde and if the geometry is trans then we get this anti-product as the mean product. This reaction we discussed in detail of course the vinyl group here for example, if we move the electron density in this particular fashion then of course we get this particular product here as I mentioned that the phenyl group is equatorially oriented and therefore that will always be in that particular position. It is only now remaining borons have to be, boron has to be close to the oxygen and the geometry of the double bond is fixed and therefore now as we can see that OH group is going down and the methyl group is going up therefore this particular part of the molecule is also fixed. We have used hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide as a reagent basically because the product that will form will have a boron. So basically instead of having hydrogen here first it would be a boron which will be then needed to be removed by oxidatively and that is what the role of the hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide is. And in a similar fashion when we took the corresponding cis product then of course we have the product in which the syn product is formed in a large amount as we can see it from here. Again phenyl group is in equatorial the geometry of the double bond is fixed. And now if we look at it the methyl is pointing downward the hydroxy group is pointing downward in the transition state and that is exactly what is being reflected here. So this is what we did it and we will now look at little bit more in detail about allyl silane, allyl tin, allyl boranes etc a bit later but first we would also like to look at what is an allyl indium. So indium is also one of the very important metal and has been utilized in organic synthesis quite well and indium chemistry is useful as it is comparable as it is this should be A comparable to other transition metal based chemistry. Indium of course as a utility is used in semiconductors but that is not something that we are now right now worried about it is its first ionization potential as you can see is 5.8 electron volt which is less than that of zinc or tin or even magnesium for example. So its first ionization potential is actually closer to lithium or sodium therefore very readily it can transfer one electron and since it is of a very large size that means it shows low heterophilicity in organic reactions the hetero atoms do not easily attach to the indium species and therefore the reactions can be tolerated in water or other medium. Thus indium is low heterophilic in nature and thus oxygen and nitrogen function groups are usually tolerated that means in the substrate we can have functional groups which can be of oxygen and nitrogen origin. Also we see chemoselective transformations using indium based reactions since indium configuration is 4d10 5s to 5p1 it is found that it reacts with Rx that is halides R could be allyl or any other organic halides and then form this kind of species R3 I and 2x3 whose structure has been found to be of this kind and this allows carboindations to take place with organic substrates in one step procedure that means now we react this with say aldehydes or any other ketones then what we can do is carry out the cc bond formations and such reactions can be done in solvents like THF or DMF in fact THF or DMF solvents are generally preferred because in other solvents the reaction is found to be somewhat sluggish. Now we don't really have to isolate this organometallic species we can simply mix indium or indium salts with the halides and along with them the aldehyde or a ketone to which the reaction has to be done and we then of course let the reaction complete and isolate the product as is required and we don't really have to isolate the organometallic species unlike in cases where such organometallic species have to be isolated but this is the advantage of using indium based reaction. Like for example indium reagents react at the gamma position as we have discussed earlier for example this is the substrate that we have here you have alpha beta and gamma position here so alpha beta and gamma position here. So the reaction occurs in at the gamma position basically and it can react with aldehyde in the presence of DMF and it is only 1 hour reaction is very fast and of course you can also carry out such reactions in aqueous medium and the corresponding allyl alcohol is obtained homo-allyl alcohol is obtained actually it is an allylic substrate that is being used and therefore we get homo-allyl alcohols and as you can see the yields are fairly high. Interestingly in such cases ester groups cyanohydroxy groups remain unaffected. So the reaction is fairly mild it is actually an example of what is called as barbier allylation or alkylation of carbonyl groups with alkyl halide in a metal. It is usually done with zinc but some other metals also can be used in such a reaction and the name actually derives from Philip Barbier who was actually a teacher of Victor Greenard who introduced the Greenard reaction. So it is a very interesting barbier allylation which is very much utilized in organic synthesis and we can see that majority of the times it is the gamma position where the reaction occurs but if you have a sterically hindered substrate then sometimes one can see alpha position being attacked. For example if we take an allyl halide of this type and react with indium which will in situ form this type of indium species and if we react it with say this particular alphabeta unsaturated aldehyde then the reaction occurs from the gamma position to this aldehyde leading to the formation of this type of product. On the other hand if the same indium species which is formed in situ is allowed to react with sterically hindered tri-enbutyl tin chloride then the alpha attack takes place to form this type of allyl tributyltin in which of course the e-product is the major product. Now in the reaction of ketones of this kind which is a cyclic ketone obviously the attack will be preferred from the equatorial side but in this particular case there are no substituents around a ketone and therefore the reaction occurs from the gamma position only but from the equatorial side to lead to the formation of this type of a major product. Now if we react with crotyle based substrates then we can see that the reaction does occur this is the alpha position and this is the alpha position this is the beta position and this is the gamma position. The reaction is obviously as expected is taking place via gamma orientation and as we have already seen that when we have a substate like this as you can see here sin and anti is forming 66 into 34 ratio for example. So this is erythro and this is the 3O and if we look at the that means in this particular case we do not have that strong this ratio difference in terms of sin and anti as we had seen in the case of boron but nevertheless the reaction does take place and of course you get larger amount of the sin product here erythro and the 3O product in this particular fashion. And now if we look at the further reactions of this is alpha pinene if we take alpha pinene and we carry out the functionalization at this particular carbon atom and make the corresponding bromide and react with indium and once the indium reaction occurs now this is the alpha position this is the beta position and this is the gamma position. Now you see what is happening is that the reaction is occurring with the protonation at the gamma position. So this is the gamma position where the proton is coming. So basically what is happening is that when reaction of pinene which occurs in such a fashion that the say you have an indium bromide I will put it in this fashion and then you are getting it a product which is this. So we start with this thermodynamically more stable product which is an alpha pinene and we are getting beta pinene in which the double bond is XO double bond here it is XO whereas here it is endow double bond. So this is more stable whereas this is less stable and therefore the yield is not very high the 24% only is there but nevertheless this is a very useful conversion of the alpha pinene to the beta pinene. Now I suggest that you people can take up and see how this erythro and the 3O products are formed what is the transition state that we discussed it in the boron case you can try and work it out and see how it is and we can discuss about it in more detail when we have the question and answer sessions. Now the addition of allyl indium reagents to aldehydes which have substituents at alpha or beta carbon atom for example if you have a if you have a substituent which is something like this here then a very diastereoselective reaction is possible in aqueous medium for example with an alpha oxy aldehyde this is what we are talking about here the major product is the syn diastereoma. So actually it is a chelation control and there is no chelation actually. So what is happening is that if we look at intermediate here as you can see this is the aldehyde portion here the aldehyde portion is here then you have the aldehyde carbon is attached to the next carbon atom and then the OH is here. So this part is basically an OH part and this part is of course the R group which is present here. Now if we orient the allyl indium in such a fashion that if the carbonyl group is oriented here then you have this 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 this is 6 member transition state here a 6 member transition state in which now alcohol is also having a chelation with the indium. So therefore this geometry is restricted here and this is the transition state in which both the oxygens are attaching to the indium and therefore the transition state is restricted. Now once the indium gets transferred to this then of course as you can see that you can put it in this version that you have this is how the carbon-carbon bond will form, allyl group comes in here and of course the orientation of this particular diol remains in this fashion. Now if we put it in a Newman projection formula it would look like this as we can imagine that this particular carbon atom being at the back of it and if we turn it around then the hydroxy group comes below, hydrogen comes below and the allyl group goes on the top and of course if we turn this particular portion towards us or the hydroxy group going behind or in such a fashion that your R group comes on the top and the hydrogen goes on the top then the hydroxy comes in the plane of the blackboard the way it is shown here. Of course you can see now that in both the cases we can also rotate it and bring it to this Newman projection being equivalent to this particular position here. And if we see that this R group and this allyl group are actually in a form even zigzag fashion in this particular way it is shown then the two hydroxy groups would be pointing in the same direction that is the reason why they are called as syn products basically. So there is a collision control and therefore since as you can directly see from here for example these two are pointing downward and when you turn it around then R and allyl group will be opposite to each other. So this is how the syn product is formed and that is not the case if there is no collision control. Now it is also seen that if we start with an allyl indium species like this and react with benzoquinone then even at minus 45 degrees in DMF the corresponding homo allyl alcohol is easily formed and it is found that if one reflects this species in the presence of silver oxide then the corresponding substituted benzoquinone is formed. The way reaction takes place is this homo allyl alcohol which can be written like this here it undergoes 3-3-sigmatropic rearrangement of this kind where the allyl group now has attached itself on this particular position and then under the oxidation conditions with silver oxide it gets oxidized to form this substituted benzoquinone. In a similar fashion for example we can also carry out the allylation of an imine which leads to the formation of this homo allyl amine. Now like zinc and tin based reactions indium based reactions can also be used in aqueous medium and it is also found that there is no Wurz type of coupling that occurs in these reactions like for example these Rx cannot undergo a coupling to form Rr. So this is how interesting reactions take place with indium however it is the only disadvantage is to some extent is that it is a somewhat expensive reagent. Now if we take say for example alpha halo esters for example if we take this alpha halo esters or allyl chlorides are commonly used in many of these reactions say for example we take this allyl chloride and we put an indium to it. So obviously this is an alpha position this is a beta position and this is the gamma position the reaction takes place through the gamma carbon atom and therefore we can get an orientation of the hydroxy and the chloride chlorine as this and once we react such a visceral chlorohydrin with sodium hydride which is a base then of course you can deprotonate this and we can have O minus here which can then react with intermolecularly and the chloride can go and one can form the corresponding vinyl epoxide. So this is a vinyl epoxide and as I mentioned earlier you have alpha halo ketones alpha halo esters for example this kind if we do this alpha beta and gamma although in this case it does not really matter because it is unsubstituted however we get this and of course in a similar fashion we have a base then we can get the corresponding this epoxide here. So this was vinyl epoxide or this is of course is allyl epoxide and in a similar fashion if we do intramolecular reactions like this then of course you have alpha beta and gamma from the gamma carbon the reaction takes place in this fashion and you get this particular hydroxy ester moiety and the reaction of the hydroxy group with the ester group in intramolecularly leaves the formation of the corresponding alpha methylene gamma butrolactone. So this is a very interesting way of in-situ generating and as you can see the reaction can be carried out in the water medium. Of course in this case the stereochemistry of the product would again depend on the kind of transition state that we are going to look at because the transition state would be again 6 member transition state because indium will be here 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. So again I suggest that please work it out the transition state and see how does the geometry of the two groups here which are at the junction are beta oriented or in the same direction. Now we can also carry out very interesting reactions say for example you take this particular keto ester and if we take the proton from here off by base like sodium hydride then we can generate an anion then anion goes and it reacts at the allylic position here. For example and the C-C bond is formed and we can generate this particular allyl bromide. Now if we react this with indium so you have beta, alpha, beta and gamma. So from the gamma position the reaction occurs and then you form this intermediate which is what is going to be 1, 2, 3, 4, 4 member intermediate. The negative charge and breaks up in this fashion and this carbon-carbon bond breaks because the negative charge that is going to be formed here would be stabilized here. So basically this is the carbonyl group, this is the next carbon atom, this is the next carbon atom, this here here, this is here and then your negative charge is stabilized by the ester group and that is where you get the proton off. So this is the product that is going to form. So it is a very neat way of converting keto esters into a ring expanded compounds. Likewise we can start with this beta keto ester and we can do the alkylation here in a similar fashion as with this dihalyl chloride and we can generate anion here and attack on one of them and then we can remove and we can get this and this then reacts at the alpha, beta and gamma position. So this goes and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 this attacks around this carbon atom and this is what is formed. On the other hand if we take directly like this then of course you have alpha, beta and gamma that directly goes and attacks on to this and this is the position where the alylation has taken place. So one can carry out such kind of alylations using indium and again as you can see in the water medium it can be carried out. So the message here is that you have a carbonyl group or you have a carbonyl group in which there is an ester group or anything of that kind then alylation can allow the cc bond formation to take place and then the cc bond formed product can be accordingly depending on the structure can be manipulated and get further products. So we would look at little bit more detail in the next time and till then you can go through these alylations which I have discussed today with indium and also with tin and then we will take up in the next class more in detail about these reactions and of course some exceptions and some more synthetic transformation that we will carry out. Till then take care bye thank you and see you next time.


Ranger Bill, warrior of the woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, fighting the many enemies of nature. This is the job of the guardian of the forest, Ranger Bill. Pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mountain lions. Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done.  I doubt that many of us have. We take the precious liquid for granted because every time we need it, it's there and a good supply of it. But when there's a drought, the world seems to shrivel up. That's just what's happened around Naughty Pine. There hasn't been more than a half a dozen drops of rain in three solid months. The forests and prairies are so dry that Bill has put out a warning to the farmers and ranchers. There's danger of prairie fire, grave danger. Let's find out what happens as we hear the story The Flaming Grass. Hal Nestle, the government agricultural agent for Naughty Pine County, visits with several of the key ranchers and farmers in his office. Their topic of discussion is the same as it has been for weeks. When will the rains come? Luther Akin, Rudy Nichols and Jason Manders lead the conversation and the discussion is getting somewhat heated as Hal stands his ground and backs Bill's warning. Hal, I think you and the rangers are all wet. I wish we were, Luther. Bill and I and the prairies and forests. I wish we were soaking wet from rain. That's not what Luther's talking about, Hal. I understand as much, Jason, but you fellas forget one thing. Bill Jefferson is a skilled and experienced forest ranger. He knows what he's talking about. Maybe he does when it comes to forests and ranger work. But who does he think he is to tell us ranchers and farmers how we should run our affairs? Yeah, all the newspapers and magazines are carrying articles written by ranger Bill Jefferson. And they're written for our benefit. We're not novices at this game. I've been ranching for 30 years and my dad ranced before that. And my grand-grandfather. Why, he settled out here. That's right, Jason. And Bill would like you fellas to keep your ranches and farms. He doesn't have to write those articles, you know? Yeah, we know. But does he? Now listen here, gentlemen. I'm getting a little tired of your criticisms of a man who is trying to help you. Yeah, well, that's too bad because we're sick and tired of a forest ranger telling us how to farm our ranches. Yeah. Who ever heard of a prairie fire anyway? My grandpa, well, I talked to one. That was 80 years ago when the buffalo run the prairie. Well, gentlemen, you go right ahead and laugh. But there's an old saying, he who laughs last laughs best. I just hope and pray that Bill and I don't have the last laugh because it won't be a funny laugh. It'll be a laugh of despair and anguish. I don't know, fellas. Forest gets much drier, it'll catch fire from our breath. You ain't just joking there, sonny. To dry out here, even a cactus would travel up and blow away. Boy, before I ever got started, we wouldn't be able to stop it. A thing would spread faster than you could run and then some. That's right, pal. Well, this is just like having a lot full of unsold Christmas trees and gaping a mental spring. Hey, there's Tom, flying patrol. Yeah. I think I'm going to get more planes in the air today. The only way we can play it safe is to increase our patrolling in the air and on the ground. Oh, here, prairie. Farmers and ranchers do not do yet what you asked them to do, Bill. Yeah, they just plum foolish, Gray Wolf. They must think Bill's telling them how to prevent prairie fire just for laughs. Every blade of grass in the prairie is a torch. Look at that long, dry grass along their fence lines. And the grass in the pastures and ranges isn't so short either. But it sure is dry as an old onion. Hey, Bill, how do you pound horse sands into people's heads and make them realize what you tell them is for their own good? Well, I've almost given up, Stumpy. But I think I'll have one more meeting with the county agents in the morning. If that doesn't work, I don't know. You see, this is private property. We've got to stay out. Yeah, I know what you mean. But if this catches fire, though, we'll be invited in pretty quick. Bill, the rangers and state troopers here at the meeting.

Luther Aiken, Rudy Nichols and Jason Manders lead the conversation and the discussion is getting somewhat heated as Hal stands his ground and backs Bill's warning. Hal, I think you and the rangers are all wet. I wish we were, Luther. Bill and I and the prairies and forests. I wish we were soaking wet from rain. That's not what Luther is talking about, Hal. I understand as much, Jason, but you fellas forget one thing. Bill Jefferson is a skilled and experienced forest ranger. He knows what he's talking about. Maybe he does when it comes to forests and ranger work. But who does he think he is to tell us ranchers and farmers how we should run our affairs? Yeah, all the newspapers and magazines are carrying articles written by Ranger Bill Jefferson and they're written for our benefit. We're not novices at this game. I've been ranching for 30 years and my dad ran before that and my grand-grandfather. Why, he settled out here. That's right, Jason. And Bill would like you fellas to keep your ranches and farms. He doesn't have to write those articles, you know. Yeah, we know, but does he? Now, listen here, gentlemen. I'm getting a little tired of your criticisms of a man who is trying to help you. Yeah, well, that's too bad because we're sick and tired of a forest ranger telling us how to farm our ranches. Yeah. Who ever heard of prairie fire anyway? My grandpa, I talked to one. That was 80 years ago when the buffalo run the prairie. Well, gentlemen, you go right ahead and laugh. But there's an old saying, he who laughs last, laughs best. I just hope and pray that Bill and I don't have the last laugh because it won't be a funny laugh. It'll be a laugh of despair and anguish. I don't know, fellas. The forest gets much drier, it'll catch fire from our breath. You ain't just joking there, sonny. To dry out here, even a cactus would shrivel up and blow away. Boy, before I ever got started, we wouldn't be able to stop it. A thing would spread faster than you could run and then some. That's right, pal. Well, this is just like having a lot full of unsold Christmas trees and keeping them until spring. Hey, there's Tom flying patrols. Yeah. I think I'm gonna get more planes in the air today. The only way we can play it safe is to increase our patrolling in the air and on the ground. Oh, here, prairie. Farmers and ranchers cannot do yet what you asked them to do, Bill. Yeah, just plumb foolish, Grey Wolf. I must think Bill's telling him how to prevent prairie fire just for laughs. Every blade of grass in the prairie is a torch. Look at that long, dry grass along their fence lines. And the grass in the pastures and ranges isn't so short either. But it sure is dry as an old onion. Hey, Bill, how do you pound horse sands into people's heads and make them realize what you tell them is for their own good? Well, I've almost given up, Stumpy. But I think I'll have one more meeting with the county agents in the morning. If that doesn't work, I don't know. You see, this is private property. We've got to stay out. Yeah, I know what you mean. But if this catches fire, though, we'll be invited in pretty quick. Bill, the Rangers and State Troopers here at the meeting. I thought you said it was only going to be county agents. I did, Henry. But I changed my mind later on. Might as well kill three birds with one stone. Yeah, I see your point, all right. Why go through the same thing three times if it isn't necessary. Yeah, not only that, but it'll save time in the long run. Well, better get started. Right. I'll park myself in his chair. Gentlemen, will you please come to order? Thank you. I thought it best that we meet, and I'll bring you up to date on... String heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mountain lions. Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done.


فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا لا وياله من شراف عظيمي الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على أشرف الأنبياء والمرسلين سيدنا ونبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد أبا بيخسر الصلاة والسيسطة إن شاء الله وطعاله أرغبت أن أبضل الله الكريم من初 مبدل يبضل الله كل مواجهة إن شاء الله وطعاله أعطيكم بفتاة وفتاة إن شاء الله وطعاله ستكون في مختلف المكان Sometimes it will be matters pertaining to عاقيدة Sometimes benefits pertaining to غرامة النحو ربما يمكن أن يتصل إلى حديث وتمتلك المج apprehع into it I mean it varies and it's not going to be in a specific issue إن شاء الله يتعالى تلايب إذن إله الكريم The benefit that I want to give إن شاء الله يتعالى It's something to do with قواعد الفق here Brothers and sisters as we all know and we're all aware of There are خلاف والنزع يتحدث عن مجال العصرين التي يحدث بين المسلمين ومن نفسنا نفعل ومجال العصرين ومن المجال العصرين والخلاف المجال العصرين بين المسلمين هناك شيء أن أعلم المعلم يحتاج إلى أن يكون one who comes with justice and who has knowledge in it for him to have علم and عدل he needs something إن شاء الله يتعالى today's one is going to be about حاجة الطالب العلم the need that a student of knowledge has towards what إلى الإلمام بالكليات وتصور وقع الجزيات that the student of knowledge there is a need for him to have understanding of the comprehensive principles he knows the comprehensive principles and he also has an understanding of the sub branches he perceives it correctly when a student of knowledge gains that so he knows the comprehensive principles in the religion the sub branches that come out of it he perceives it correctly he will be able to get knowledge and he will also be a person who has the عدل he is just he said and this is in his kitab من هاج السنة النبوية in the fifth volume page 83 شاء الله يتعالى ونحن نذكر قاعدة جامعة يتعالى that we are going to mention a comprehensive principle في هذا البابي in this matter لسائل الأمة تفضل the rest of the Ummah so sheikh al-Islam ibn Taymeh saying I am going to give you a very comprehensive principle for the rest of the Ummah everyone and I want all of you to pay attention to this principle because it is very important and it is a benefit that if you gain Allah will save you from a lot of problems what is it ibn Taymeh says it is necessary that it is with the person meaning that a person has أصول كلية he has fundamental comprehensive principles with him that you have قواعدة and أصول قواعد is principles أصول is foundation you are solidified with the principles that you have and the usul that you have and these are comprehensive they are كلية تورد إليه الجزئية which the sub branches are all brought back to they are all brought back to this كلية so the person has to have that كلية he has to have those أصول which are كلية those fundamental comprehensive principles with himself that all the sub branches that happen he can always bring it back to these comprehensive general principles تورد إليه الجزئية ibn Taymeh said so the person can speak with knowledge وعدل and justice you see how important this is if you want to be a person who speaks with justice and knowledge what do you need you need أصول كلية you have to have sub branches sorry you have to have fundamental general comprehensive principles which is solidified yourself on and all the sub branches that are taking place that are happening you can always bring it back to it with that what are you going to do you're going to speak with knowledge you're not going to be found to contradict yourself and also you're going to be speaking with justice عدل you want to press anybody good that's the first point ثم يعرف الجزئية then the person comes to know the sub branches كيف وقعت how did it occur the second point is that you learn the sub branches كيف وقعت how did it occur كيف وقعت how did it take place وإلا if the person does not do that ibn Taymeh said فيبقى the person will remain in في كذبين in lying واجهل and ignorance ثل جزئية in the sub branches you'll be lying about the sub branches and you will also be an ignorant about the sub branches is that it واجهل وظل and also ignorance and oppression in that كليات as well in the comprehensive principles as well you'll also be ignorant and you'll also be lying in that one as well فاية تولد وإبنوتيمه then says what then comes out of it is what فساد العظيم a great problem a great problem occurs so if the person does not have اصول كلية كمبرهين برنساپل ورئيس جزئية تخطي أخبرك إبنوتيمه وبيعبر واجهل ورئيس وجزئية كمبرهين وراء أخبار أنت ترى مجموعة أنت ترى الكثير من المنزع العقل هذا مهم ولي ذلك أبنو تيميس ولي ذلك أبنو تيميس أهل هذا إنه كثيرا من نزاع العقل أبنو تيميس هذا مكان أخرى now ننتهي هذا one أخرى بينو تيميس في الثلاث فيوليوم 57 أبنو تيميس he says إنه كثيرا من نزاع العقل he says a lot of the disputed of the intellectual ones the smart individuals Ibn Taymi said so he is telling us a lot of those smart individuals that dispute is Akkad why لكونهم لا يتصورون موردن نزاع لأنهم لم يقوموا بحققاً بحققاً بحققاً بحققاً بحققاً بحققاً موردين لزع is what؟ المكان where they arguing about لم يقوموا بحققاً بحققاً وبرتيمس يقول رحمه الله الكثير من الارغمات التي أحدث من الناس فقها العلمات بردس what is it؟ they said it came that dispute came لكونهم because they were unable to perceive the point that was been argued about تصوراً بيناً A perception which was clear وكثير من النزاعي and a lot of these arguments and disputes قد يكون الصواب the correct view is probably at times فيه في قول آخر another view موردين يقول a lot of these disputes that you see that are taking place sometimes the correct path may even be other than the two views that were mentioned already the two that were holding that were disputing with one another that were arguing the correct view may not even be in any of those two في قول آخر غير القولين اللذين قال هما وكثير من النزاعي and a lot of disputes a lot of arguments قد يكون it can possibly be مبنياً I like this point important وكثير a lot of disputes قد يكون it can be مبنياً it might be built upon what على أصلٍ ضعيف it's built upon a foundation which is weak إذا بينا whenever it's clarified whenever it's clarified that the أصل here is weak ارتفع النزاع the dispute will go right automatically the dispute is will be lifted إذا بينا فسادو whenever it is clarified to you that the foundation in which they're both sitting on it's weak then the dispute will go إِبْلُتَيْمَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى this is what Allah has blessed him with سبحانه وتعالى Allah blessed him with it so brothers what did we learn from the statement of شيخ وليسامي what we learned is that من شق الغلط and the كثير من النس a lot of the mistakes of the people that have occurred that we've seen with our eyes the arguments, the disputes it is for what reason brothers إما من جهة عدم العلم بالكلياتي it is either based on lack of knowledge of the comprehensive matters of the religion number one number two وإما من جهة or maybe from the angle of عدم التصور the person could not perceive he could not perceive مورد النزاع التصور and Taaman he could not perceive the point that the argument was coming from he could not perceive it in a correct and complete manner he was unable to do it which is the جزئية so brothers خلاصة القول finally the benefit that we take from this point that a student of knowledge needs is three things three things that a student of knowledge needs the first thing that a student of knowledge needs brothers is العلم بالكليات knowledge knowledge of the comprehensive principles number two is what كيفية وقوع الجزئية how the sub branches that came from the كليات how it occurred how it happened how it took place that you understand that and the third one is brothers is what the third one is it is to place إدراج الجزئي it is to place the sub branch in the كلي the sub branch is taking and it's to the comprehensive general principle correctly and brothers the one that the one which each had striving striving and each had اللتي يسور فيها الخلاف the each had which we can dispute one another on is majority is the one that occurs from when the people are disputing how they all agree upon the what they all know العلم بالكليات they all know كيفية وقوع الجزئية which is the first two so they know the comprehensive principles and they also know how the sub branches occurred and how it happened but number three which is what which is إدراج الجزئي في الكلي كلي the third one if a person falls short he falls short or he argues with you this is a خلاف مخالفة which falls under اللتي يسور فيها الخلاف for example a person agrees with أهل سنة in the matter of طريقة توليس تدلال how to use the evidence which is the كليا the comprehensive he agrees with أهل سنة or the خلاف as a carry how it happens he knows he also agrees but he disputes whether this applies on this individual he disputes with you إنزال الأحكام على الأعيان placing this ruling on a particular individual he says أخي this does not apply on this person ليعدم ووجود الشرط كده وكده because of the we don't find this condition found on him an obstacle standing for us to place on this on him this is now the خلاف the dispute which is ايه ايه ايه I will stop there بإذن الله الكريم سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشهد أشهد أشهد


started. So hi everybody Jenkins. Welcome to the Jenkins advocacy and outreach SIG meeting. Today is Thursday April 6th. Thanks Pruna for joining me. So the Jenkins in GSOC this year we have a lot a lot of submissions received. So 54 of them are decent proposals and we've sorted out that there's about 12 that's a bit underwhelming proposals at the moment. So we are officially in the grading period for the next two weeks up until April 19. After that the org admins were going to process the grades and then make a submission to Google with regards to who we will accept. CDCon. So that is May 8th and May 9th. That's in Vancouver, Canada. Mark is going to be attending that one. I cannot go to that one. I have some family issues at the moment that I need to be around for. But Mark will be attending that. He will be part of the keynote panel discussion with CDF where they will talk about the graduated projects between CNCF and CDF. So that should be interesting. We will not have a booth. We meaning that the individual projects will not have a booth but there will be a table stand for CDF where they will take volunteers from the projects to help staff the booth. Did you have questions Bruno? No I think it's not far. I don't want to disclose any private information but I think Gaby Morgan doesn't live far from Vancouver, Canada. So I don't know if he will be part of the CDCon but it would be nice if he could join. Yeah no that's a great idea. I will reach out to him and see if I can get him a pass to the event if he's interested. Yeah. Thank you. Thanks for bringing that up. I know that Tim Jacome is a speaker at CDCon. I know that he has registered but I'm not sure with regards to confirmation of his travel. Okay. Yeah and then as I mentioned AppDome created a plugin for Jenkins and they are interested in us posting this on their on jankins.io the blog section but I am working with them to put this on the tutorial section because the content is basically tutorial. I think it's too much of a blog post but they might want to do a separate blog post to help give visibility to this tutorial so I'll work with them on that and then we'll probably send out help them with a tweet and a LinkedIn post as well. So that is in the process at the moment. Okay. Do they know how to make a pull request to our Jenkins.io repo and so on or do you need help you and them need help with that? I will check with them but yeah I'll definitely raise the white flag if we need guidance. Okay. Thanks Bruno for bringing that up and then one thing the newsletter we ouch. Yeah so I know I haven't checked this morning but yesterday Mark said that he would work on it so. I checked on my morning which was your night and it was still empty but you never know it could be done just now. Okay. Okay give it another day I'll remind him again. Okay Bruno so we have time to hop over to the other meeting. Thanks for joining this one. Yeah oh you wanted to mention about anything else? Devox. No Devox next week so Jenkins will have a small portion of a booth in Devox because we are linked to the Cloudbees booth and Hervé Le Meur and myself will host a Bird of a Feather about Jenkins. Ask me anything and my part will be Jenkins for embedded hardware and mobile app development with Jenkins on Thursday night. Yeah so in Paris. Oh it's lovely Paris but hopefully not far from the Champs-Élysées if I'm not mistaken. Sounds so nice. Yeah so people can find you at the Cloudbees booth and the Birds of a Feather on Thursday night. Okay Thursday night. Bird of a Feather yeah. Okay and they'll just look you up on the schedule. Yeah all right. Okay and we have a gift for you know for the Bird of a Feather there is a Star Wars Lego something that people could win if they want to join. Yeah there is a raffle. Awesome that sounds exciting. Yeah if you like Jenkins Star Wars Lego come in. And stickers right so you'll have lots of stickers.  Yeah awesome. All right Bruno thank you so much. You're welcome thank you Alyssa. Take care.


Alright guys, what is going on? It's Jacob here. You haven't seen me before, welcome to my channel. Today's video is going to be slightly off topic, but it is something that I do believe I've got a duty to let people know, especially younger people, people my age 25 or under, and today's video is going to be about why it's so important you really know what you're doing when you go and study and get a student loan. Student loan is a financed loan from the government, usually interest free until you reach a certain point in your working life. Once your salary reaches a certain amount, then the government will enforce repayments and that's fine, that's great. But the thing I see a lot of people doing nowadays is rushing into a university degree.  A lot of people are just picking the career path and picking the degree that they think is going to be easiest. They're going to coast through, they're going to get a degree and hopefully, hopefully use it in their career and in their job. Well I see all too many people either changing their degree halfway through, staying at uni for five years, not three. They either completely go off the subject that they're studying and don't use their degree whatsoever or they drop out and also don't use their degree. And the one thing that stays constant at the end of all of these situations is the fact that you're still stuck with the student loan debt.  Well the main message I'm here to tell you guys today is the fact that it's not so easy to bankrupt student loan debt than you think. To say you're getting a bit, the reason, the reason bankruptcy is there is to bail people out. The government's way of saying take risks, start a business, get credit cards.    So let's say you're one of those nine of ten.  All of your debt is wiped except for your student loan debt. Student loan debt is not treated the same as any other debt. So the one message I want you guys to know is not well two messages. One choose your career wisely. Don't get rushed into anything.  You may be able to save a little bit of money and just sit back and think and get into the real world and get into the workforce and think okay what what is it that I actually want to do? Is this three-year degree actually gonna get me into the place that I want to get to? You know if you're entrepreneurial at heart it's unlikely that a degree is going to help you in your dreams and goals. As far as building a business or building your name or getting famous or you know whatever you want to do. Personally my story I went to university I was always straight A at school. I ended up leaving before I finished which was you know it was probably a good decision in the end because once if you do go through school with good grades you finish high school basically it's thing to do is to go to university the next year because you get automatic entry because you've finished high school. I didn't finish high school so I actually had to wait till I was 20 to go to university so I was exposed to the workforce. I worked in the corporate environment which I thought I wanted to do. I loved wearing a suit for about a year after that it got really old. I decided to go to university when I when I turned 20 always been interested in numbers. I thought being an accountant you'd earn lots of money and I thought I'd be good at it.  So I ended up quitting I tried to get my old job back that didn't work. I found myself with a semester worth of student loan debt which at that time was about $10,000 I didn't have a job and if worse came to worse than I wanted to bankrupt I could not get rid of that student loan debt and I've still got it to this day so at the end of the day I didn't have a degree I've still got my student loan debt but it was the best thing I ever did leave at that point because if I had stayed for three years I would have had a $60,000 student loan I wouldn't have wanted to use my degree and all it is is a fucking line on your CV and to be honest the more interviews I had you know the more jobs I've had I start to realize that it's personality it's it's what you bring to the table as a person you know your initiative your your values is what's really really important that line on your CV isn't that important you know I think in a major city it may be important to have that there when people are you know surfing through CVs they're going to be looking for certain things but in a place like Alice Springs where I am right now it's definitely not important and so I am really really glad that I didn't follow through with that degree but with that being said guys I've probably talked too much but the major thing that I wanted to get across is the fact that you've got to be careful because student loan debt is not back not bankruptible you will be stuck with it I watch this show on you know it's in America and it's on finance and it's a guy Dave Ramsey and the amount of people that call up with with student loan debt you know a hundred thousand two hundred thousand two hundred thousand dollars of student loan debt with no way to pay it back they've got shit incomes they think that this degree is their ticket to a great job well it's not it really isn't and you've really you've got to be careful man you've got to do your thinking so like I said don't rush into it don't get forced into it university may not be for you if you if you feel like your efforts are gonna be used better in the real world rather than wasting you've got three years worth of opportunity cost which means that you're wasting which means in those three years that you're studying you could have been earning money for those three years and possibly got a promotion within those three years so at the end of the three years you're actually earning more than then if you grab your degree and try and get into the workforce so it's up to you I just wanted to let everyone know it's something I am passionate about something I've told a lot of people about and I just hate seeing people forced into things and regretting things in the end so that was my advice to you I hope you can take it on board until next time guys have a great day that was me hundred percent honest to you guys as per usual subscribe for more if not see in the next one peace


If you knew me three months ago, I need to reintroduce myself to you. Sometimes in your life you feel you are changing so quickly in how you think and how you're wired. You are going through a complete revolution, evolution in your belief system changes. That it feels like you're moving so quickly is difficult even to articulate who you are at the moment.


Hi everybody. So if you follow me on social media, you've seen this already. I was directly inspired by not only the Liquitex muted ink colors that just came out, and I just did a video on those that you'll probably have seen shortly before this, where I demo those. They have these new muted colors, and they have a violet, a turquoise, a pink, a gray, and a green, and I got them, and I love them. I'll show you a swatch. And I don't know, there's something about the muted earthy colors of this, and while I was noticing these on the internet, I also noticed that there's an Etsy store whose name I can't remember at the moment. I remembered it last night, now I can't remember. I will find them though, and link them in the description below, and link them. And the two Liquitex and this Etsy shop have something in common, so the Etsy shop makes handmade watercolor paints. And the thing they have in common are these muted earthy colors, and I was really attracted to them and intrigued by that, and I thought, hmm, it would be really fun to have just a muted earthy palette that it would be in a small pocket box that I could take with me, like say, the next time we go to Las Vegas, I like to do desert paintings, and I'm frequently like mixing colors because I don't really have the quite tone, quite bright tones. It would be nice to have a muted earthy palette to take with me instead of my regular one. That would be fun. So I got some of my Daniel Smith paints together, replaced a few that I needed to, got a couple of new colors, and I put together this fun muted earthy palette full of these colors right here. And I literally just did it last night, so the paints have not fully dried in the palette yet. They're still damp. But I wanted to come on and share it with you and also talk about the colors I chose. So the first one I chose was Buff Titanium, which is kind of an opaque color, but it's an opaque, like creamy, you know, beigey color that would, that I really wanted to have in the palette, and this is one I already had in my stash anyway that I used every now and then. Then we have French ochre, which is a yellowy golden color, which is this one. And then Raw Sienna. I'm going to list all these names in the description below because I'm, so that way if you guys want to collect any of these, if you're collection, you can. Also, I happen to know I'm going to butcher a couple of the names because I can't pronounce them. I know I can't. Raw Umber, which is this more brown tone. Then we have one of my favorite Daniel Smith colors, Kodakurone Gold. Roasted French ochre, which is more of a red shade than the other French ochre. This one's more of the yellow. This is more of a red. Again, we're going for muted and earthy. Undersea Green, which is one of the new colors that I've seen. I think Vicki Ross has it in her palette. And I saw it over there and it was like, ooh, I like that color, but there's no room on my palette. But see, I created this one and now it fits in perfect. I think that on Watercolor Wednesday, that we are going to do maybe a still life or something with these colors. I'm really attracted to them. All right. Next one, Ultramarine Turquoise. I can't do a palette without a turquoise in there. Burnt Umberg. Here's one I'm going to have trouble. Napsamide Maroon, which is this one here, which again, it's a muted, dusty, almost dirty color maroon, which I love. Permanent Brown, which again, is more of a muted red tone. Let's see. Permanent Brown. Oh, here's one that's going to be a problem. Anthroquinoid Red. Pretty sure that's not spelled, that's not pronounced correctly. But it's this beautiful muted red color. Van Dyke Brown, which is my dark. Instead of having even Payne's Gray or Black, this is the dark and I could mix this with, say, the purple and or the Quirochrone Gold or something. I could make it darker by mixing it with other colors in the palette. And then Prussian Blue, which is a nice kind of muted blue. So these are the colors that are going to be in this palette. Like I said, we're going to work on them, work with them in an upcoming Watercolor Wednesday. We'll be doing probably a still life, maybe fruit or something. I think it will be a lot of fun. It's an interesting take on a watercolor palette. So if you have a collection of watercolor paints like I do, this would be a fun palette to maybe put together. I did take, this is one of the Prima boxes and I did take the insert before I put the, now I can't get it out. Before I put the paints in, took the insert and I spray painted it front and back. So there's no bare metal on it. So there's no chance of things rusting. These inserts are frequently bare metal. And if you get them too wet, then they start rusting. So take it and have somebody enamel it for you or take it outside with some enamel spray paint and do it yourself. Oh, I have trouble getting it back in because, you know, there we go. It's probably never going to come out again. So the first and last time I'll ever do that. So anyway, so that's just a quick tip from me to you. Alright, that's it for today. My new Daniel Smith muted palette, which I love and I can see even doing the still life with a combination of the muted palette and the metallic palette that I also did recently. So yeah, I'll be sharing more of these on Watercolor Wednesday coming up soon. So subscribe and don't forget to hit the little notifications bell so you are notified when I do put out new videos or online live. That's it for today. Don't forget the most important thing. Go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later. Bye guys.
